[00:00] sandsmark: theres red light on speakers [00:00] stojic, sound card driver problem. [00:00] guys I just bought an external USB hard disk. I was wondering what the best filesystem would be to put on it so that it can be readable by any computer. Is it FAT32? [00:01] stojic: have you tried with garlic? [00:01] G2k: yeah fat32 or vfat as it's called in Linux [00:01] G2k, yes [00:01] doc|work: You can probably use firebug in ff3 if you disable extension compatibility checking. === JohnMM1 is now known as JohnMM [00:01] grte: thanks, will try that [00:01] doc|work: http://getfirebug.com (beta somewhat works with FF3) [00:01] G2k: if you want to keep your data, ntfs [00:01] or ext3 [00:01] I like Hardly but is too fast to read [00:01] hey guys, i've got two unevenly sized hard disks, is there anyway to have a partition spread over the two of them? [00:01] both have ok dual boot support [00:01] G2k: no, you should only use vfat or ext2(if your only using it on linux boxes) [00:02] kitche: what's the command for formatting it? [00:02] bezak: RAID [00:02] G2k: fsck [00:02] bezak: use software raid [00:02] lvm [00:02] or evms [00:02] crdlb- is that all one command?

[00:05] linux has an ntfs driver. Windows has an ext driver. [00:05] otherwise try ntfs [00:05] G2k: jfs is good [00:05] Pick one.

[00:06] G2k: OH, its an external drive? [00:06] ryuo: ?? [00:06] mc-george: green hole is the sound-out [00:06] ryuo yeah [00:06] G2k: i thought it was a usb flash drive ;p [00:06] grte, I tried that, nothing happened [00:06] does X11 read xorg.conf different now?? [00:06] i have use the sony laptop but i can't install the ubuntu8.04 [00:06] I want a 32GB flash drive, too. ;-p [00:06] Anyone have any opinions on codeweaver on ubuntu as apposed to wine? I need to be able to run mssql server. [00:06] As in, no sound, or the noise you described? [00:06] jordan: somewhat. [00:06] jordan: Why should it ? [00:06] err. 320. [00:06] grte, no sound [00:06] G2k: in that case, use a journaled FS... [00:07] Y-Town: I think codeweavers comes with commercial support [00:07] G2k: probably ntfs, if your going to hook it up to windows as well [00:07] jordan: you could still use your old xorg.conf file if you want [00:07] ryuo: yeah? but then windows/mac won't be able to read its contents [00:07] Y-Town: otherwise there shouldn't be too much difference [00:07] odd-rationale dream_team : well im trying my old config (HD TV output) and its not working at all [00:07] Alright...Have you checked alsamixer to see if the volume is all the way down or muted? [00:07] why use mssql? [00:07] G2k: with such large capacity, vfat is a bad idea [00:07] G2k: Windows can read/write ext3 [00:07] grte: yea [00:07] hey guys, i need help finding a torrent file that i downloaded [00:07] Windows is not going to like > 60 gig fat32 partition [00:07] backgen: locate? [00:07] why i can't install the 8.04 [00:07] Dream_Team: only with modifications [00:08] odd-rationale dream_team : the "option (something) scaling = centered" makes the screen very small but without, it is a mess [00:08] ryuo: then ntfs [00:08] ryuo: so should I make it NTFS? Will Mac be able to read that no problem? Or is something like EXT3 a better choice? [00:08] when i look at the file's location in Azureus it tells me that it is in home/.azeureus/documents/*file here* [00:08] mc-george: Not sure then. [00:08] mc-george: green is sound out...orange is for the mic [00:08] How do you autologin at terminal I have no gui [00:08] however there is no such thing as a .azureus file in my home folder [00:08] mhm_jr, I tried green, no sound [00:08] G2k: having a mac, ext3 for mac is unstabe [00:08] i'm having an issue with firefox font size. I don't think it's a necessarily a firefox problem but i can't figure it out. [00:08] why has xmms been removed from the repos? [00:08] Hum, so investigating further, it looks like _only_ win/super+E, win/super+F and win/super+L are not usable as windows-something shortcut keys. All other combos work when assigned to specific actions. Unfortunately, it's all three of these specific combos which are completely ingrained in my fingers. Doesn't _anyone_ know what is preventing these key combos from working? [00:08] sandsmark: I tried to load a business app and I could not because wine didnt run a late enough version of IE and didnt have the ability to load some other required files for mssql server... But maybe that could be overcome [00:08] Dream_Team: what do you suggest for an external hard drive? [00:09] G2k: bub, vfat is probably your best option for easy usage in all 3, but vfat is impractical on really large drives. [00:09] sashi: what is locate? [00:09] G2k: since I live in a windows environnement I use ntfs [00:09] backgen: files and directories that start with a dot (.) are hidden by convention [00:09] jordan: I don't have experience with dual display. Sorry :( [00:09] G2k: you could try this: split the drive into seperate partitions [00:09] Y-Town: probably [00:09] backgen: locate filenamehere [00:09] G2k: i'm the only non windows computer in the house [00:09] G2k: and just partition each part with a different filesystem for your needs [00:09] jmdc: oh...how do you un-hide them? [00:09] hmm [00:09] I'm running a clean install of Hardy x64, and I can't get the Java Runtime Environment running. I went through Firefox's plugin finder, installed the default (successfully) and applets still act as though the package isn't installed.

[00:10] you're welcome [00:10] crimsun: oh what. that's stupid [00:10] is there any way for metacity to remember windows positions without having to install devil's pie? [00:11] hi everybody, i mistakenly removed the panel that has applications places etc... and i want to get the default one, how can i do that? where are the panel files stores ? [00:11] andronicus: No. [00:11] stored* === Bill_Gates is now known as Platyhelminth [00:11] vox: no. And the corresponding bit in Ubuntu is https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xmms/+bug/190684 [00:11] Al-Khouli: off the top of my head, you could probably just log out, remove all your .gnome stuff, and log back in again [00:11] Launchpad bug 190684 in xmms "Remove xmms from Ubuntu" [Wishlist,Fix released] [00:11] i can't get my usb stick working, when i insert it i get this error: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write trough.. i am using ubuntu server, can anyone help me?

I can't find the setting that would be at fault here, any ideas? i'm using ubuntu 8.04 [00:11] hmmm you'd think a windows manager would have the capability to MANAGE WINDOWS!

[00:12] odd-rationale its not dual screen [00:12] Al-Khouli: course not. that would dump all your settings [00:12] is there a better windows manager than metacity? [00:12] backgen: are you using pulse-audio? [00:12] Mathman, that's wut i am trying to avoid [00:13] andronicus: that depends. theres MANY window managers. [00:13] When I run gnome-terminal in ratpoison, there are two small gray bands at the right and the bottom -- how do I get rid of them? [00:13] hi [00:13] hypercool^: i'm not sure...what is pulse audio? [00:13] jordan: could you pastebin your xorg.conf file? [00:13] oss4 is cool. [00:13] backgen: Sounds like you video player uses OSS instead of ALSA as output driver. [00:13] This is in fullscreen mode. [00:13] vlt: oh...how can i change that? [00:13] Al-Khouli: well, you probably won't want to go that route then. right click on the desktop and add a panel? been too long since I've used gnome [00:13] backgen: Depends on the player. [00:13] ryuo: but is there one in particular that glistens in the summer breeze? [00:13] ChaosTheory^: isn't that the ratpoison window decor? [00:13] anyone know how I can stop Nautilus from scanning media files whenever I open a folder so that it can generate thumbnails? Selecting List View does not stop the processing, it merely hides the thumbnails. [00:13] Seriously? [00:13] How do I get rid of it? [00:13] andronicus: KDE [00:14] When i do a search at google or even yahoo, the font changes to very very small. I can't find the setting that would be at fault here, any ideas? i'm using ubuntu 8.04 [00:14] crimsun: i understand that it's depreciated, but /everyone/ knows and uses xmms.. that's a pretty nasty decision.

[00:14] I just need Nautilus to stop scanning movies, it takes forever when I open a folder full of TV shows [00:14] jiq: huh? [00:14] ryuuntu. [00:14] if a program is running as root, how do i make it launch programs as me (it lets me decide the command to launch i just dont know how to unsudo it) [00:14] vlt: hmm actually i don't think its a problem with the movie player...i just tried using VLC and theres no sound...actually...My computer doesn't have any sound at all!!!! [00:14] Ubuntu 8.04 rox!!! [00:14] ryuo: How do I get rid of it? [00:14] andronicus: but no fancy "gui" for configuring [00:14] after trying to install over and over again I finally was able to install Kubuntu on my PC! Now my question is how can I install ubuntu? I believe I saw somewhere this: sudo aptitude get ubuntu-desktop. Is that correct? [00:14] DefineKThyne: I'd like to sick with gnome [00:15] DefineKThyne: for the time being..... [00:15] vox: ...except it's no longer maintained. People who dist-upgraded to hardy don't have xmms uninstalled automatically (i.e., it's retained). If one wants an xmms-ish app, try audacious. [00:15] maun: I think you can download the "ubuntu-desktop" package...try googling that name [00:15] ChaosTheory^: your asking the wrong person. :-p you might be able to fix it by trying some other WM? [00:15] does anyone know how to install firefox 2 for hardy? [00:15] ryuo: I just restarted X, though, and it's still there. [00:15] eatatjoes2: apt-get install firefox-2 [00:15] maunykah: I'm pretty sure thats right, but the fact that you tried over and over makes a little worried. What errors were you getting? [00:15] ChaosTheory^: screenshot? it may help. [00:15] how can u remove firefox 3? [00:15] When I type sudo apt-get install ...anything... I get could not resolve host. How do I get sudo to work again? I am using 8.04 [00:15] andronicus: i had it so you could choose your window manager on login, but i forget the command i used to install it. [00:16] ryuo: How do I take a screenshot from terminal? [00:16] eek! help me guys, my computer has no sound anymore! [00:16] ChaosTheory: scrot [00:16] andronicus: so you could have the Ubuntu-ness of Metacity, and the sparkly shine of KDE whenever you wanted. [00:16] eatatjoes2: synaptic. search for "firefox" and uncheck the things that say firefox3 on them [00:16] MachinTrucChose: edit>pref.s>preview [00:16] ChaosTheory: or the import imagemagick command [00:16] thank you machintrucchose! [00:16] is there issues with connecting to the internet in hardy? I'm trying to help my friend install (over the phone, its difficult) and it appears his network card is properly setup, but he has no internet [00:16] i am using ubuntu 7.10 and i can't seem to get many embedded videos to play. i tried getting gnash and any other flashplayer plugins i could find but it doesn't work. does anyone have any suggestions? [00:17] backgen: it's strange though, this has happened before, and i've just pressed ctrl+alt+backspace to relog and then i get sound again....but it just randomly goes away like this anyone know why? [00:17] doofy: i've had no network problems with hardy from the box to date, does he have a separate nic? [00:17] eatatjoes2: also, you should note that firefox-2 will be called that. not "firefox" so your links and such won't work until you change it. If you have a browser launch button, for example [00:17] okay [00:17] jmdc I was getting an error that it's possible that my disk drive, or hard disk, or the disk itself, is corrupted === EuSouOLipe is now known as Lipe [00:18] I was trying to install 7.10 because 8.04(ubuntu) live cd wouldn't load at all [00:18] wd5cmz: try going to system, administration, software sources, download from: other, select best server.

[00:19] doofy: maybe it's as simple as he has the wrong controller set? (clicking on the wired network connection icon in the corner) [00:19] hypercool^: thanks [00:19] one more question jmdc: once I install ubuntu if I don't screw things up, can I get rid of kubuntu? [00:19] Look at the terminal you opened it from. [00:19] eatatjoes2: then i'd do a search for "firefox" in the list it gives you [00:20] It'll be telling you the current fps [00:20] Mathman, it worked :) [00:20] oh yes blind me :D thanks [00:20] np [00:20] When i do a search at google or even yahoo, the font changes to very very small.

[00:21] maunykah: yes you can. You probably will have some extra programs left over from kde, but that doesn't really matter [00:21] maunykah: you can always uninstall what you don't need. [00:21] how do I get sound devices back under hardy... they don't lspci or lsusb (I have an onboard and a usb sound card) [00:21] yuhuu , i got resume to work on my laptop , now i need to fix suspend to ram , but i even dont know how to trgger it to test if it works [00:22] hypercool^: how do u install a .rpm?

Im brand new to ubuntu (running Gutsy) and a program is giving me a LOT of grief. [00:22] I will!! I'm so excited === eatatjoes2_ is now known as eatatjoes2 [00:22] grte: http://rafb.net/p/cIjKSf19.html [00:23] all pdf printouts are blurry is there a solution to this? [00:23] gogo Raeinar [00:23] grte: why would I want to install irssi if I have xchat already chatting with you [00:23] eatatjoes2_: i'm not entirely sure how it works, but my understanding is that .rpm is for redhat and .deb is for debian based... which is ubuntu [00:23] Ummm...What the hell do you ubuntu guys call it again? [00:23] build-essential [00:23] Install that [00:23] apt-get install build-essential [00:23] crimsun: i guess it's just the constant companion that's always been there-type-thing.. :) [00:23] Okay, Im running kdenlive because I need a decent video editor and it keeps crashing on me progressively worse. Ive tried purging and reinstalling and restarting my system a few times but its just not working [00:23] grte: I already did that, that has nothing to do with the problem i have [00:23] hypercool^: do u know if there is a .deb for vmware? [00:23] pen: I think you need libstdc++6 [00:23] Anyone have any ideas? Gray band at the bottom when running gnome-terminal in ratpoison? [00:24] pen: Because it is fundamentally ridiculous to waste resources on a gui app for something that is, by it's very nature, all text. [00:24] is there a usable calendar system for ubuntu that i can operate over a server from several machines? One that isn't google calendar? [00:24] jmdc: I already installed [00:24] grte: in irrsi it's harder to maintain multiple channels like in gui. [00:24] hey guys, does anyone know why when I login to ubuntu it restarts gdm [00:24] Says who? [00:24] oh jmdc sorry quick question: I chose install or full-upgrade? [00:24] this just started after upgrading to 8.04 [00:25] I can only login to the failsafe terminal [00:25] my gmail (on firefox latest on ubuntu gutsy + better gmail) crashes CONSTANTLY whenever i'm viewing a label other than inbox... then switch back (by clicking) the Inbox label. how do i fix? [00:25] So, I suppose first Im wondering if anyone has experience with kdenlive or could suggest a great functional video editor? [00:25] is it possible to autologin in ubuntu server [00:26] Raeinar: what format video? [00:26] maunykah: I'm not sure, I think that's a new feature and I haven't switched in about a year [00:26] arooni-mobile: Are you using Firefox 3 Beta 5? === aegis_ is now known as a3g1s [00:26] anyone run into this problem after upgrading to 8.04? I get to the gdm screen, login it attemps to login. then 3 secs later it restarts gdm automaticlly [00:26] andronicus: Im saving as avi but im using flv rips from youtube - its for a class project - I can convert if need be but i'd have to find another program to do that then [00:26] I am installing Ubuntu 8.04 from the Live CD, and not from the Ubuntu 7.10 that I have already installed, for graphics card issues... On the "Prepare Partitions" area I see.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9070/ help? [00:26] all pdf printouts are blurry is there a solution to this? or am i the only one with this issue [00:26] irc://irc.DaIRC.net/scenewhore [00:26] ahh ok [00:27] erk sorry [00:27] puxa, quanto tempo não acesso irc, que bom saber que ainda funciona! [00:27] does anyone else have an idea on what I should select? [00:27] install or full-upgrade [00:27] algum brazuca? [00:27] eboyjr: where do you see this? [00:27] !br | xiiico [00:27] xiiico: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [00:28] necesito unn canal de ayuda para linux, alguien conoce alguno [00:28] opa... vlw [00:28] When i do a search at google or even yahoo, the font changes to very very small. I can't find the setting that would be at fault here, any ideas? i'm using ubuntu 8.04 [00:28] ryuo: The "Install" dialog that opens up when I click the Install icon on the desktop of the Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD. [00:28] so whats your question? [00:28] jmdc: I search google and they suggest me to install sudo apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 [00:28] question, how would I go about remapping different things like show desktop or other functions? [00:28] jmdc: but there is no such package [00:28] /dev/sdb is most likely flash, or another hard drive. [00:29] ryuo: What should I do next? [00:30] pen: Try just libstdc++ [00:30] on ubuntu 8.10, using "ati" and xrandr the external monitor remains black, even though xrandr reports it as active and the wallpaper is stretched [00:30] eboyjr: just reformat /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 (assuming its as you say in pastebin) [00:30] and it is on [00:30] grte: you mean aptitude install libstdc++? [00:30] Yes. [00:30] the last few times I restarted my system I get this error, "No command arguments supplied!, Usage: kdesudo [-u ] , KdeSudo will now exit" anyone have any ideas? [00:30] eboyjr: and set the mount point correctly... [00:30] Does Ubuntu/gnome have _any_ monitor calibration software? The only vaguely relevant thing I can find in synaptic is kgamma, but installing it, I get an application which I can't actually "use" (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=245177 for a description of the problem.) [00:31] Raeinar: cinelerra might work for you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_editing_software [00:31] eboyjr: you could try jfs/reiserfs if you'd like some more speed out of your journaled filesystem [00:31] anyway to just fix the crashes im getting from Kdenlive? When I try adding new transitions or try playing back the timeline it sends a SIGSEGV [00:31] grte: can't find the packages but it found packages contain the string [00:31] andronicus: oh thank you! [00:31] Try those. [00:31] eboyjr: I've found jfs is pretty good... [00:31] hey, i just installed ubuntu 8.04, and i keep getting a grub error 17, yet the grub device map and the menu.lst both seem fine, has this happened to many other people? [00:31] jfs is quite good. [00:31] pen: you probably want libstdc++6 === Varka_ is now known as Varka [00:31] And it's stability is on par with ext3 [00:31] jmdc: but I have already installt that [00:31] hey guys, does Itunes work for Linux? [00:32] No. [00:32] * I tunes [00:32] suriro: changing Nautilus' preview options in Edit > Prefes isn't the solution. It was already set to "don't generate thumbnails to files bigger than 5mb". These are 400mb video files nad it's still generating thumbnails. [00:32] oh shoot [00:32] Try amarok for an itunes like replacement. [00:32] amarok you say eh? [00:32] Many of it's users think it's superior, even. [00:32] and i should get that through the add/remove thing? [00:32] yeah amarok was pretty cool...one of the best KDE apps [00:32] Yes. [00:32] amarok? pfft audacious all the way dudes [00:32] thanks! [00:32] No, mpd ftw [00:32] But amarok for an itunes like player. [00:33] grte: I can't try all of them, it would mess up my system as different version of g++ is inatlled [00:33] You may choke on the answer, but you still have to tailor it to the audience. [00:33] pen: Use the advice someone else gave you a moment ago. libstdc++6 is the one you want, I believe he said. [00:33] hi everyone. im' having some problems with firefox 3 beta, lots of freeze... is that "normal"? [00:33] ryuo: So, ( I want to make sure on this ) I check Format on /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 ... than I select the /dev/sda2 partition and then just click "Forward"? [00:33] jmdc: I'm trying to run aucdtect, do you have any suggestion? [00:33] hey.. my alsamixer isnt working.. what should i do? [00:34] didn't Wine just become iTunes compatible? [00:34] grte: I already told him that I have that installed already [00:34] Ah, missed that. [00:34] anyone else had grub boot error 17 [00:34] alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: No such file or directory [00:34] Well, could you pastebin the results you get from a search for libstdc++? [00:34] eboyjr: well, it should work. if it dont, you can just try again. [00:34] grte: libstdc++5 is installed too [00:34] eboyjr: just dont tell it to do anything with your other partitions [00:34] I'm not on an ubuntu system, so I can't see the results you get from your repos. [00:34] grte: I still can't run the program aucdtect [00:34] grte: have you heard of this before? [00:35] No. [00:35] I don't use that application. [00:35] ryuo: (If it doesn't work ) Can I try again and not have anything happen to /dev/sda1 ? [00:35] pen: haven't heard of it either. [00:35] anyone for a firefox problem? [00:35] helpers sorry but i have done upgrading to hardy,and it is hurting my eyes, if there is one solution so please help me , thanx [00:35] eboyjr: the only problem you might run into is windows won't boot, in which case grub isn't properly setup. [00:35] jmdc: it's a program that can guess whether the CD is mp3 sourced or not [00:35] ryuo: Okay, thanks for you help.. :) [00:35] my sound is screwed [00:36] so how would I go about remapping the show desktop command or other functions on the keyboard? [00:36] Wolf23: change your background? [00:36] jmdc: do you know any alternatives just in case [00:36] anyone know how to fix the problem where you upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy and you get no sound? [00:36] my sound quality went down since the upgrade [00:36] ryuo: I cannot check Format on the partitions, it's grayed out. [00:36] andronicus: the resolution is not good, this is the screen i mean :( [00:37] ryuo: Should I not worry about that? [00:37] What does a ~ indicate behind a file name under terminal?

From the site it looks promising and I only have about 4 minutes of content to rebuild so not bad :) [00:38] Vista has vi in it's name, and thus wins.

[01:00] * lilkoisuru crosses her arms and waits patiently, pathetically inputting data with the keyboard numbers. [01:00] this monitor is really frustrating: all i see is black. Anyone know how to make it work ? [01:00] IndyGunFreak: this second/external monitor.... [01:00] Y-Town: if you have dial up or a slow connection, it might be worth it, or if you are bandwidth restricted.. other than that, cd's are quicker [01:00] lilkoisuru: you probably have MouseKeys enabled [01:00] has anyone ever installed VMware on hardy, if so how? [01:00] What is that, vox? [01:00] IndyGunFreak: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) [01:00] Thank you for responding. [01:00] sergiolib: yeah, see, thats why.. Gutsy had a lot of issues w/ the IntelHDA devices [01:01] youre right [01:01] how to install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package?? [01:01] kelvin911: do you have buid-essential installed? [01:01] i dont know [01:01] I started downloading 8.04 (not the live CD, but through the update manager) and.. it froze. Anyone have any idea what to do? [01:01] lilkoisuru: System->preferences->Assistive Technologies->Keyboard accessability->mouse keys [01:01] kelvin911: open a terminal, sudo apt-get install build-essential [01:01] My Flash drive transferes 1MB /sec!!!! Grr.... [01:01] kelvin911: what are you trying to compile that you need glib? [01:02] how do i get UUIDs from terminal, hardy upgrade broke my home mount [01:02] libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 is an old package [01:02] I have a question on installing xchat on 8.04 [01:02] Scientus: blkid [01:02] i need it for maple9 [01:02] jlc: shoot. [01:02] jlc: I am using X-Chat on the 8.04 live cd now [01:02] Oh! Thank you thank you thank you! [01:02] i update to hardy i guess in cleaning up pocess i choose to delete all old package [01:02] How do I install xchat on 8.04? [01:02] now maple 9 doesnt work [01:02] * lilkoisuru hugs vox. [01:02] jlc: either in synaptic, or in a terminal [01:02] jlc: Synaptic [01:02] jlc: use a terminal and sudo apt-get install xchat === Vituz is now known as Vitux [01:02] or terminal ;) [01:02] lilkoisuru: no probs :) it got me a few times [01:03] It's pure evil. [01:03] heh [01:03] jlc: if you want to use synaptic, open synaptic, search for xchat, right click, mark for install, and install it.. [01:03] just make sure you choose xchat, and not xchat-gnome [01:03] is there supposed to be a Resricted Drivers Manager in 8.04? [01:03] Linux people are delightful. I'm new to it, and I'm already happy with it. [01:03] I need more details. How do I get to the terminal to run sudo apt-get install xchat? [01:03] lilkoisuru: we do what we can :) [01:03] cause I can't figure out for the life of me as to why my nvidia drivers aren't even coming up let alone working [01:04] I'm off, then. Thank you, again, vox. [01:04] jlc: applications/accessories/terminal [01:04] IndyGunFreak: I couldnt find xchat... *only* xchat-gnome [01:04] Hey guys [01:04] eboyjr: then you don't have all your sources enabled [01:04] IndyGunFreak: And xchat-gnome-common or something [01:04] Okay [01:04] Scientus: that what you wanted? [01:04] * Yaro volunteers. Yay! [01:04] and when I go to hardware drivers nvidia doesnt come up [01:04] jlc: Windows + T is the default shortcut, if you have a Windows button [01:04] When i do a search at google or even yahoo, the font changes to very very small. I can't find the setting that would be at fault here, any ideas? i'm using ubuntu 8.04 [01:04] eboyjr: enabe all the repos in synaptic, and xchat will come up, i think its in restricted. [01:04] !info xchat | eboyjr [01:05] !info nvidia [01:05] I started downloading 8.04 (not the live CD, but through the update manager) and.. it froze. Anyone have any idea what to do? [01:05] hmm, guess ubotu is sleeping [01:05] Vitux: what is your problem. [01:05] how is ubuntu named ? [01:05] None of my location shortcuts work anymore - not even my desktop shortcut to /home/myhomedir - anyone else seen this? Only started after I updated to Hardy [01:05] ubuntu [01:05] somethingcomplex: Try a different mirror? [01:05] wierd, actually it was the upgrade from beta hardy to full hardy [01:05] IndyGunFreak: I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and nvidia drivers dont seem to work [01:05] I have an external USB CDRW drive that used to be auto detected in 7.10 and now doesnt seem to autodetect. Anyone have any idea how to fix this? [01:06] Vitux: how did you install them in gutsy?.. with restricted driver? [01:06] aarcane: if you mean the development names, Mark Shuttleworth chooses them [01:06] the numbers in fstab are right, as is the /deb/sd* [01:06] somethingcomplex: you tryed to update GUtsy? [01:06] anyone here use pekwm ? [01:06] corrcetion /dev [01:06] I tried manually installing it with apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [01:06] I used the restricted drivers manager in gutsy.. [01:06] sebsebseb: yes [01:06] why wouldnt home mount?? [01:06] Vitux: look in system/admin/hardware drivers [01:06] I can path to it just fine in terminal [01:06] somethingcomplex: ok if it was downloading then it was downloading, this means nothing was installed [01:06] jrib, but are they named after anything, or does the dude just pull things like gutsy gibbon and hairy hardon out of the air ? [01:06] Just the shortcuts don't work [01:06] its blank [01:06] completely utterly blank [01:06] Vitux: well, something is wrong.. what nvidia device do you have? [01:07] anyone have a xonar dx? [01:07] are you running it out of a vertaul machine ? [01:07] geforce 5700 [01:07] FX [01:07] when you download a tarball and it doesn't require make/ make install what do you do with it? [01:07] thanks eeverybody, it's installing. [01:07] hypercool^: Edit:Preferences:content to adjust the font and maybe deselct the allow website to pick fonts... [01:07] sebsebseb: really? (it's stuck at "installing upgrades) .. should i just reboot then? [01:07] aarcane: alliterative (adjective, animal) pairs in alphabetical order now. There's some page on the wiki where you can make suggestions [01:07] Vitux: strange, my 7900 works fine. [01:07] yah... I cant figure it out :P [01:07] home is mounted - all my filesystems mounted just fine - problem is that none of my shortcuts pointing anywhere work anymore [01:07] why would a upgrade from beta to release break my home mount............... it did say it couldnt do a full install [01:07] IndyGunFreak, what is synaptic? [01:07] somethingcomplex: I updated a computer earlier, (this being my second time updating to Hard [01:07] Is there a way to change the amount of space Gnome leaves between icons on the desktop when auto-align is checked? [01:07] how many updates has it installed? [01:07] hey, my computer has a bug: it randomly ejects cds whether they are in use or not. I put In Rainbows in, and decided to check my email first, but in the meantime the cd ejected. I put it back in, but I didn't get to the end of 15 step before it ejected again. What should I do?? [01:07] jlc: system/admin/synaptic package manager [01:08] somethingcomplex: can you open the update manager again? [01:08] Vitux if yourunning it out of vmware or the like you wont get 3d suport [01:08] hey all i hvae a problem after upgrading to HH. when i try and play videos they are very jumpy. can someone please give me some suggestions on how to fix this. Thanks [01:08] Is there something more updated than the default disk usage analyzer [01:08] what should i do? [01:08] nope [01:08] not vmware.. [01:09] now can I just close the terminal window or do I need a command to exit? [01:09] cant find libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package in synaptic [01:09] jlc: you can just close it. [01:09] out of any vertual machine [01:09] kbrooks: What's not-updated about it? [01:09] sebsebseb: no, no programs will open.. and I don't know how many updates it's installed, but it stuck at just 7 min left [01:09] IndygunFreak, ty. [01:09] nothing about a partial upgrade? [01:09] re [01:09] 3d is not suported , it needs direct accest to hardware [01:09] ie a true install [01:09] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX 5700LE] (rev a1) [01:09] its there.. [01:10] can't figure out why its not being detected by ubuntu.. [01:10] home didnt mount, uuid and /dev is right.... what should i do(restarting right now [01:10] somethingcomplex: nothing about a partial upgrade? [01:10] mortuis99: do glxinfo | grep direct and see what it says as a first step [01:10] if its a actual install try installing the driver frome nvidia [01:10] Wyzard, well, it dumps everything in .Trash not the new version of .Trash [01:10] sebsebseb: no, it doesn't say anything in particular, it's just frozen === Lipe is now known as EuSouOLipe [01:11] anyone notice any locking up with firefox? and hardy heron? [01:11] i did [01:11] okay, so i'm back and still don't have sound working in flash with firefox. the old way of fixing it doesn't work, and there was someone being mean in the forums saying how to do it the 7.10 way, but the file needed isn't there. firefoxrc does not exist in 8.04, so it's impossible to change it [01:11] hey, my computer has a bug: it randomly ejects cds whether they are in use or not. I put In Rainbows in, and decided to check my email first, but in the meantime the cd ejected. I put it back in, but I didn't get to the end of 15 step before it ejected again. What should I do?? [01:11] a little [01:11] whats a good alternative desktop manager? [01:11] Wyzard, when i right click on a dir to move to trash [01:11] Really ... nobody uses pekwm ... poor neglected pekwm :( [01:11] how did you fix it> [01:11] kbrooks: hmm, I'd never even noticed that "move to trash" option before [01:11] somethingcomplex: have you got a Live CD? just in case there is a boot up problem of some sort after re boot. I mean it seems to me that re booting is your only option if it has frozen. and then hopeing that it will come up saying there are updates and then you install those yeah [01:11] didn't, it tehre [01:11] twistage: what do you mean by alternative? [01:11] it is pretty bad after the upgrade [01:11] it's there* [01:11] LTS and they decide to put FF3b5 in...damn thing greys out every 5 minutes! [01:11] really annoying [01:11] direct rendering: Yes [01:12] quite [01:12] IndyGunFreak: alternative to nautilus [01:12] twistage: oh, thunar is good. [01:12] i uninstalled ff3 and installed opera [01:12] thanks, ill take a look [01:12] mortuis99: then you know you have the right video drivers. that's one possible cause ruled out. heh good luck finding what's wrong [01:12] somethingcomplex: it was frozen on downloading packages or installing them? [01:12] opera is slower [01:13] sebsebseb: i have got a live CD, luckily enough.. stuck on the"installing upgrades step" [01:13] How do I access preferences/administration settings from terminal? [01:13] I have upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 using the GNOME desktop. My USB external CDRW worked fine in 7.10 and now I do not seem to be able to get it to automount anymore. Is there anything known about this? [01:13] heh im using linux [01:13] cool, we all are [01:13] In particular I want to change some "default applications." [01:13] i'm not! mine's dead :) [01:13] ok, now I'm on the Ubuntu machine. [01:14] [jlc] [01:14] [jlc] [01:14] [jlc] [01:14] [jlc] [01:14] [jlc] [01:14] longx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:14] somethingcomplex: ok with 7 minutes from the end, well that probably means most stuff was installed. however not quite everything, but if you do re boot, you can probably just boot up some kernel and get the last updates. if on the other hand for some reason there is a boot up problem, at least then you got a Live CD and can come back here or something for help [01:14] Now for more complex question. [01:14] has anyone installed vmware-server? If so how? [01:14] my audio stops working after hibernation, is there a way to restart it without rebooting the computer? [01:14] better is kvm [01:14] by [01:14] e [01:14] thats weird [01:15] Try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart [01:15] if I install nvidia-xconfig it wipes out nvidia-glx-new [01:15] hi [01:15] :| [01:15] amazen720: downloaded the rpm and installed it. seems like they've got a tarball too though... [01:15] I have installed apache, mysql & php, but I cant use function mysql_* in PHP, how do I load the mysql extension? [01:15] sebsebseb: ..what would i do to get the last updates? [01:15] vox, so my home partition doesnt mount on boot but its uuid is right in fstab, what should i do [01:15] Is there an easy way to change the nautilus's desktop grid spacing [01:15] Cinelerra is way to advanced =/ [01:15] is it safe for me to remove the games that come with gnome? [01:15] sudo: /etc/init.d/alsa: command not found [01:15] I am running NVIDIA video and the highest I can set resolution is 800x600, how do I fix this? [01:15] Blackdogg: Have you followed the steps here? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [01:15] i dont want any wierd dependency stuff to happen to me [01:15] amirman84: go for it [01:15] Anybody know of some decent Video conferencing software that will let me have 4 people in a vid conference? I tried qnext, but since it won't let me manually set a sound capture device, it knocks two people off from using it. [01:15] vox i was able to bott into a normal session by useing failsafe terminal fist and mounting it [01:15] somethingcomplex: if it works after re boot, the update manager will probably come up saying there are some more updates. click on that and it will say a prtical upgrade was done probably, then you can download the remaining updates [01:16] Flannel I dont use that tutorial [01:16] amirman84: No, it will decrease the stability of your machine's entertainment system. [01:16] jlc: do you have the nvidia driver enabled? [01:16] Blackdogg: you should. [01:16] I wana compile the sources [01:16] amirman84: use synaptic or add/remove programs [01:16] needcdrom: thanks [01:16] why on earth would nvidia-glx-new be removed for nvidia-xconfig? [01:16] IndyGunFreak, how do I check? [01:16] somethingcomplex: also it might still say a new version is avaialbe if so best to use that [01:16] amirman84: Yes. You'll need to remove ubuntu-desktop, but that's normal (and perfectly safe) [01:16] How do I access preferences/administration settings from terminal? [01:16] sebsebseb: oh, ok. i thought i might have to do something special. thank-you for your help!! [01:16] how would you even use xconfig without the drivers? [01:16] how to get libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package ??? [01:16] jlc: system/admin/hardware drivers, make sure the box is checked, if its not, check it, and you'll install something then be prompted to restart [01:16] hey, my computer has a bug: it randomly ejects cds whether they are in use or not. I put In Rainbows in, and decided to check my email first, but in the meantime the cd ejected. I put it back in, but I didn't get to the end of 15 step before it ejected again. What should I do?? [01:16] ChaosTheory^: you edit the config files manually, presumably. [01:17] Or does anyone know how to change the default programs from ratpoison? [01:17] I can't seem to install xchat correctly. This is because gettext isn't installed. But now I can't seem to install gettext correctly! =/ [01:17] mathman: wont in install from .tar on Hardy [01:17] if the uuid somehow isnt mounting it right should i just put in the /dev is fstab?? [01:17] amazen720: won't install as in? [01:17] I just installed IEs4Linux on 7.10 using these instructions(http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu), but it didn't work :( How do I uninstall it? [01:17] Bkid: are you trying to compile it?.. [01:17] somethingcomplex: yeah no problem [01:17] I mean I can't even get past ./configure and make [01:17] Aparently 8.04 has serious issues with USB drives and its in the bug list. Back to 7.10 !! [01:17] bkid - sudo apt-get install xchat ? [01:17] Bkid: thatas what i mean, why are you compiing it, its in the repos [01:18] I love Hardy [01:18] what is the pass option in fstab? [01:18] i uh [01:18] don't know [01:18] mathman: keep saying that doesn't have a version for Hardy's Kernel [01:18] i'm completely new to this =/ [01:18] heh just use apt get =) [01:18] hi everybody I seem to be having some inconsistencies with shares [01:18] timandtom: just delete the directory it created [01:18] Bkid: very very very rarely will you need to download from an internet site, most of what you need is in synaptic package manager. [01:18] specifically 'folder does not exist' type problems [01:18] hi I need help [01:18] sourgrape, do you recommend we use apt-get or aptitude? [01:18] amazen720: this is when you run vmware-config.pl? or when? [01:18] sudo apt-get install xchat gives: [01:18] mv: cannot stat `t-be.gmo': No such file or directory [01:18] guest: doesn't matter, either one. [01:18] mathman: yeah [01:19] how would one stop a system upgrade (dapper to hardy) in the middle in order to switch to a faster mirror site? [01:19] its the same thing guest--right? [01:19] IndyGunFreak, doin' it now. [01:19] whoops [01:19] not that [01:19] can someone help me with my wireless? [01:19] jlc: ok [01:19] guest: sudo apt-get programname or the package manager is the way to go for most programs [01:19] amazen720: so yeah, that's normal. tell it to compile whatever it needs [01:19] Flannel: Ah, ok, sweet. It's doesn't put things all over the place like Windows does? Pretty new still. [01:19] i think xchat gnome is what's packaged [01:19] sudo apt-get install xchat gives: E: Couldn't find package xchat [01:19] bah [01:19] Scientus, i've heard that aptitude has "better package management" but i've yet to see/experience this [01:19] Bkid: enable all the repositories... [01:19] what do I do when the system hangs on reboot? [01:19] guest - I perosnally like apt-get... [01:19] uh [01:19] I'm too tired to deal with this thing tonight... I'll check the forums tomorrow [01:19] what indy? [01:19] cya [01:19] try apt-cache search xchat [01:19] timandtom: Well, third party things could (that one happens not to), but stuff you install from the package manager, gets removed cleanly from the package manager. [01:19] Bkid: do you still have synaptic open [01:20] does anyone know what is in fstab???????? [01:20] Bkid: xchat is in universe, xchat-gnome is in main [01:20] can someone assist me? [01:20] bkid - sudo apt-get update [01:20] im trying to get my home dir mounting correctly on boot [01:20] indy: it found xchat-gnome and xchat-gnome-common [01:20] DAMN. Cinelerra doesnt use FLV files anyway :( - How would one go about debugging/fixing crashes from a program. Kdenlive is my only hope and it keeps crashing [01:20] bkid then sudo apt-get install xchat [01:20] sourgrape: he doesn't have universe enabled. [01:20] ok xchat-gnome [01:20] Flannel: Ah, sweet :D If I could run the couple of games that my friends play, Ubuntu would be PERFECT... [01:20] amazen720: could be you need the vmware any any thingy too. [01:20] Bkid: you need to enable universe.. xchat-gnome sucks. [01:20] anyone know how to install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 package ? [01:20] #caraune [01:20] +thunar-volman [01:20] #caraune [01:21] #caraune [01:21] mathman: did that too [01:21] please someone [01:21] #caraune [01:21] what is the command for closing a program that is open [01:21] kelvin - search ... apt-cache search nameofwhattosearch [01:21] #caraune [01:21] amazen720: so be more specific. what's it telling you exactly? [01:21] indy, you need to make more sense for us new people =/ [01:21] I came here for help. [01:21] could someone please assist? [01:21] you're saying things that I have no idea what you're talking about [01:21] #caraune [01:21] #caraune [01:21] quit spamming [01:22] #caraune [01:22] Bkid: no, i'm making perfect sense, you need to decide if you're gonna listen to me, or other people, becuase you're confusing what i say, with what others are saying. [01:22] does fluxbox work in Hardy ? [01:22] mathman: bout to paste in pastebin [01:22] #caraune [01:22] no [01:22] i was getting ready to tell you how to enable your sources.. but you never answered my question [01:22] #caraune [01:22] (08:19:37 PM) IndyGunFreak: Bkid: do you still have synaptic open <--- don't know what that means [01:22] apt-cache search libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 in terminal? [01:22] and don't know what universe is [01:22] returns nothing [01:22] someone. [01:22] please dont ignore me [01:22] bkid - which version of ubuntu are you on? [01:22] can someone help me get hibernate or suspend working? either one will do.... [01:22] newest [01:22] indygunfreak: what is the command in terminal to close a program [01:22] just updated today [01:22] if anyone knows of a link or can advise me on dling using rapidshare premium accounts, i would greatly appreciate the assistance. i found some scripts that dont seem to be working quite right [01:22] what do you need Master_Z? [01:22] Ok [01:22] Bkid: your new to Ubuntu very new? [01:22] Flannel, so I just delete the IEs4Linux folder, and remove the sources it told me to add, and I'm done?(I'm keeping WINE) [01:22] Bkid: synaptic package manager, system/admin/synaptic package manager [01:23] im just here looking for help too thou [01:23] Not knowing the answer to your question != ignoring [01:23] why would kdenlive work sometimes flawlessly but crash relentlessly the rest of the time? [01:23] sebsebseb: he's not only new to ubuntu, he's new to reading comprehension [01:23] .. [01:23] ok well i'm done with indy [01:23] bkid - go to "System" - "Administration" - "Software Souces" [01:23] can anything potentially conflict? [01:23] * IndyGunFreak is relieved [01:23] Scientus: my wireless is realtek 8185L.

[02:01] IndyGunFreak, he's running nvidia-config adn settings, he should try to adjust the horiz sync from there [02:01] rectec794613: you should try brasero gnomebaker or (if you want kde stuff) k3b for that [02:02] back [02:02] Hello. I've got a hardy server install going, and want to add the gnome desktop. Problem is, I don't have internet access. Can I do this from cd? [02:02] Pelo: how do I get back to the desktop again? [02:02] richard: was there an update/upgrade since now and then? [02:02] Pelo: problem is, when he tries to do that before nvidia driver is enabled, ... it says it can't because the driver isn't enabled.. but when he restarst, it shows him out of range [02:02] the command I mean [02:02] xen_ if you cant ge tthat to work its most likely his comp or a networking problem [02:02] bazhang: it shows up in "Hardware Information", but not in "Network" [02:02] now that there is no advanced desktop effects selection in appearances, if I turn off desktop effects, my customized settings are now lost. Once I re-enable the extra, I loose the cube and it defaults back to the wall. Is there a fix for this? [02:02] robertanderson: you have a server going without internet access? [02:02] robertanderson, probably sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should do it [02:02] forgive me if this has already been asked, but are the ubuntu repo's slow today ? ( I have tested my bandwidth, I am fairly sure something is up ) [02:02] IndyGunFreak, checking. [02:02] Scientus, another friend of mine told me that i may have to forward ports on my router and my friends router [02:02] Carbonflux: you could change repo's to a mirror [02:02] I'm doing it for class. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop doesn't work. [02:03] bazhang: hm. I definitely powercycled but i didn't update *just before* the power cycle, but possibly a day or two before [02:03] IndyGunFreak, nvidia-settings is cli no ? [02:03] Carbonflux, having some speed issues here too [02:03] Again: How do I control bass? (it's not in alsamixer) [02:03] Pelo: whats the command to get to desktop? [02:03] nah, bazhang, It's not that, It wont detect it anywhere [02:03] We're networking a windows and linux server, and then a windows and linux client. [02:03] Carbonflux: I use mirror.cs.umn.edu and its always quick [02:03] Pelo: not that i know, it might run in cli, but i don't think so.. i thought it wsa a gui program [02:03] Master_Z, from where ? [02:03] ubuntulog, good in a way, I mean, i am glad its not just me :) [02:03] Pelo: the general one, I think you said /home or something [02:03] xen_ yes if its accross the internet you have to forward port 5800, [02:03] IndyGunFreak, NVIDIA MCP61S [02:03] jlc: ok [02:04] can anybody point me in the right direction to configure debconf to stop nagging me agout configurations when I install stuff? [02:04] musikgoat, so its the same list as the one for downloading ? good idea thank you :) [02:04] IndyGunFreak, I think that the monitor might still be driven by xorg.conf, just keep him in recovery /cli a and have him adjust the horzsync line from there [02:04] Is the Mac-like starterbar out of development? All the posts i find on it are ancient [02:04] xen_ also try using :5900 is a web browser [02:04] question: can anyone explain to me what's on the ubuntu DVD [02:04] robertanderson: I don't think you can do it without internet. You could download the file and move it to the other computer though [02:04] Master_Z, I never did cd /Desktop [02:04] Pelo: in xorg, or in nvidia-settings?.. [02:04] Whenever I try to run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop it says it couldn't find the package. I have the disk as my repository. [02:04] Carbonflux: you can choose from many choices in System -> Software Sources [02:04] and why the hell did i put a question: there [02:04] tmus curious what does deconf bothers you with what? [02:04] richard is it wlan0? what does sudo ifup wlan0 do [02:04] xen_ cause tightvnc has a web-server version [02:04] this sin't #ubuntu-classroom-chat :-/ [02:04] If I install from the desktop cd could I then add the server stuff from the server cd? [02:04] Scientus ah ok, thanks [02:05] Pelo: oh. okay I rebooted and now I need to reach that folder again. Whats the command? [02:05] kind of silly question.. but with screenlets, every time i "Show Desktop" - my screenlets disappear.. any tip on how to avoid this? [02:05] bazhang: "Ignoring unknown intrface wlan0=wlan0" [02:05] Lardarse: whats up? [02:05] IndyGunFreak, in xorg.conf devide MONITOR , Horizsync 38-59 or someitng, make him do it so it matches the label on the back of the monitor [02:05] rectec794613: so the system software cannot recognize your cd drive at all? is an external? [02:05] IndyGunFreak, @ root prompt. [02:05] Pelo: hmm, never had to do that before [02:05] robertanderson: yes [02:05] jlc: did you see what pelo said above [02:05] dang [02:05] amenado, asks me "which type of server are you installing" type of questions on installation of certain packages [02:05] ok, thanks so much [02:05] Master_Z, open a terminal, type cd and drag the folder over [02:05] richard ifconfig does not show it? [02:05] peace [02:05] bazhang: ifconfig -a doesn't list the wireless card [02:05] how do i fix the hal.dll problem when trying to boot into windows? any help would be appreciated! [02:05] Paddy_EIRE: i'm trying to decide if it will be quicker for me to juct grab the DVD, or grab all of the cds that i'm likely to need [02:06] jlc: you're at the root prompt now, right? [02:06] I already know how to fix it, temporarily: Install a fresh ubuntu on a different partition. The downside is that if u remove the iPod or eject the cd, It wont sense it again. [02:06] pelo: I ran ./wlan0up and its giving me the same erorr [02:06] !wpc54g [02:06] Factoid wpc54g not found [02:06] tmus so you dont want to get prompted? [02:06] musikgoat, thanks :) [02:06] richard: that is very odd especially since it was working just earlier [02:06] !linksys [02:06] Factoid linksys not found [02:06] Lardarse: do you have network connectivity at the machine you are installing? [02:07] erg [02:07] Lardarse: well there is no official dvd iso.. so I would buy the latest hardy release with the repos all on dvds if you have lack of a decent net connection [02:07] IndyGunFreak, that's why he's getting out of range, the setting being sent it too low for the refresh rate the monitor needs for that resolution [02:07] bazhang: actually, lspci doesn't list it either (if it should?) [02:07] musikgoat: not immediately, no [02:07] jlc: you there. [02:07] bazhang, what do u mean, r u asking me if the cd drive is inside the computer or? [02:07] richard: what about lsusb [02:07] amenado, nope - i just want the bloody thing installed, I can deal with configuration later [02:07] Pelo: i think i understand now. [02:07] Paddy_EIRE: no official dvd iso? [02:07] so we just use cli to edit his xorg.. then set things right when he gets to the GUI. [02:07] whats the keyboard shortcut to enter into text mode? i tried running "sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal" but it says something is using it. i hope i didn't break nautilus. [02:07] Lardarse: nope [02:07] i thought there was [02:07] rectec794613: right; external or internal optical drive [02:07] Master_Z, google the error or search for it in www.ubuntuforums.org , I have no idea what you are doing atm, I've never setup a wifi [02:07] anyone know a setup page for the linksys wp54g for ubuntu server? I basically need the deb for the driver :/ [02:07] Lardarse: never has been [02:07] bazhang: but it *does* appear in System->Preferences->Hardware Information [02:07] internal. [02:07] jlc: you there? [02:13] amirman84: try closing add/remove or other [02:13] jlc if the files is empty you are in the wrong files you typed the name wrong, ctrl x to exit , sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is X one one , not X L L , and linux is case sensitive [02:13] hmm [02:13] jlc: are you here? [02:13] pelo, yup, didn't cap. [02:13] splitty? [02:13] bazhang: wow - that's odd. I unplugged/replugged it back in and now i see *two* wireless interfaces (wifi0 and eth1) - is that normal? [02:13] or is it my client messing up [02:13] pelo, got it now. [02:13] jlc: ok, do you have that file open now? [02:13] how to change the font in terminal? [02:13] Pelo: I dont think those would help me. They're even more complicated :( [02:13] pelo, yup [02:13] !torrent [02:13] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [02:13] ehh... that wasn't what i wanted [02:13] nah, something happened [02:13] anyone that customizes their desktop effects? now that there is no advanced desktop effects selection in appearances, if I turn off desktop effects, my customized settings are now lost. Once I re-enable the extra, I loose the cube and it defaults back to the wall. Is there a fix for this?

It feels like the processor isn't dedicated to the sound driver... wth [02:15] Pelo: brb [02:15] amirman84: ;] [02:15] Hmm.. what is that apt is locked factoid. for amirman84 .. [02:16] Simonft: unplug then replug while the power's on. It's "fixed" meaning working now, but it stops working after a reboot [02:16] aptfix [02:16] IndyGunFreak, let me double check [02:16] !aptfix | amirman84 [02:16] amirman84: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [02:16] Pelo: i only have section monitor [02:16] Simonft: so annoying, but functional [02:16]  richard: ok, im not having trouble, but if your card is a broadcom, I can help [02:16] pelo, under section device, there is no monitor.

[02:28] jlc: i'm not sure what the problem is... is your monitor pretty old? [02:28] grte: if i filtered those out i would be talking to people who've left the room [02:28] How often do you really read joins and parts messages? [02:28] Should I install Swfdec player, Adobe Flash Player, or Gnash SWF Player for Firefox? [02:28] I bet you accidentally end up talking to people who have left as it is. [02:28] don't make me offtopic [02:28] IndyGunFreak, 16 months. [02:28] eboyjr: for youtube the adobe [02:28] jlc: hmm, [02:28] bazhang, How did you know I was on YouTube? [02:28] jlc: ok, what did you enter in xorg.conf.. [02:29] lol [02:29] eboyjr: Unfortunately the open source alternatives aren't really ready yet, so Adobe is still the only real choice for now. [02:29] tmus priority=low on grub prompt will not prompt you for anything else, everything debconf do will be automatic [02:29] fde, Okay,..

[02:30] RabidWeezle: /var/cache/apt/archives probably [02:30] thanks [02:30] Darknezz_: then use shift [02:30] grte, i normally mouse over their nick (in xchat) if they are still here. their nick will get a 'underline/be treated as a link' :) [02:30] hi, i just installed ubuntu 8.04, and then had problems with windows (dual boot) so i had to reinstall windows, but now i cannot see grub or anything, yet when i use the ubuntu install cd, i can see the ubuntu partition, in the 'places' folder but not when i try to use the partition manager to install it again...what can i do [02:30] amenado, does it have to be as a kernel command-line thing? seems wrong (for anything but the initial installation) [02:30] itrebal: if you are a guru perhaps [02:30] eboyjr: There's no way anyone would care about getting ads working :) [02:30] RabidWeezle: That's where it always downloads them to, even when you don't check that box [02:31] !grub | patrickev [02:31] patrickev: 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 [02:31] tmus read the grub manual, it has more details [02:31] thank you bazhang!

The tune in link is a redirect link which many programs don't like [02:32] hey guys, I'm having a nightmare trying to get a Realtek 8139C+ ethernet card to work with Ubuntu...works fine in Windows. Tried all the usual stuff, and some stuff I found on the forums about turning off acpi in grub, etc etc. Nothing works...it just can't get an IP from my network. Any ideas? I'm desperate at this point. [02:32] tmus-> to get debconf going you need to get through grub, grub is your initial initial interface to the installation [02:32] tripps, right click o it, saveit to a text file. look at the text file. [02:32] Dr_willis, ah - good idea ;) [02:32] luinfana: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10124 does this help? [02:32] hi, can someone help me , i am new to Ubuntu and trying to get it installed on a new Dell Latittude XT Tablet PC, i don't know much about linux based systems [02:32] again, if anyone thinks they have an idea about what my sound problem is could you help me here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4848477 [02:32] luinfana: here is a thought--make sure windows does not shutdown that card when you exit windows (read about this on the forums a while back) [02:32] Simonft: the only thing is i have about 200 files and i need to copy half of them. i have them sorted by date and i need to copy the new files. it will take about a hour to copy one by one. (i knew about shift/ctrl but it dident help :S) [02:33] Well, that's a bummer. after doing the Ubuntu updates to go from 8.04 beta to release, I've lost all my screen resolutions other than 640x480 and 320x240 [02:33] Any ideas how I get 1440x900 back? :) [02:33] Behfar-> did you even attempt the simple step of inserting the liveCd and see if it works? [02:33] amenado, grub is my boot-loader, there is no sane reason why I would configure something like debconf for my running installation by adding command-line parameters to grub. There just has to be another way [02:33] Simonft: or select [02:33] Darknezz_: why did shift not help? [02:33] IndyGunFreak, sorry, What I actually typed was HoriaSync 28-64" [02:33] nope [02:33] So, anyone that customizes their desktop effects? In Hardy, now that there is no advanced desktop effects selection in appearances, if I turn off desktop effects, my customized settings are now lost. Once I re-enable the extra, I loose the cube and it defaults back to the wall. Any one else have this problem? [02:33] Simonft: nope its the same as CTRL [02:33] Simonft: doesn't the Network manager do the same thing? [02:33] kneeki: sudo displayconfig-gtk does not work? [02:33] luinfana, if thats a wired network card (sounds like one ive had befor) i recall there being 2 modules for the things ages ago. Its possible you need the other one to work. and will have to blacklist whatver one its trying to use. [02:33] bazhang: what does that mean?

[02:34] i need to know ther is a geek in here to solve my problems [02:34] Darknezz_: works fine for me [02:34] please [02:34] tmus-> you seemed to be more advanced than most of us here, and you dont like to take my advise, so am not sure what to tell you [02:34] luinfana: sadly you have to enter windows and set it there [02:34] luinfana, if what bazhang is saying applies to you the setting you'd want to tweak for it to work in ubuntu woudl be somewhere in windows device manager. thats all i know. if it applies. [02:34] bazhang: one moment, I'll find out [02:34] have done nothing yet, still sitting on the screen, u want me to save and exit?

[02:52] bazhang: after i upgrade everything turns horrible [02:52] kelvin911: this isn't gutsy [02:52] master_Z: i would use the regular add/remove (apt) manager in your menu [02:52] grandmaster_: give it a try, it will likely help your particular problem.

I'd like to do a clean install of 8.04, but want to have a list of all the packages I need to install afterward to get my system back to where it is right now. [02:52] even the font in terminal are thick and fuzzy [02:53] so, I realize I can search for and delete lines in vim, but here's what I want to do and can't quite figure out...: delete all lines that start with a # or whitespace...I tried: :g/(^#|^' ')/d but no luck. any vim experts out there? [02:53] kelvin911: i'm having the same issue with amarok, let me try something, and we'll see what can be done [02:53] because i think it's a kde issue [02:53] hartr: does the essid visible? [02:53] can anyone assist me? when i boot off newest build of ubuntu i get to RUNNING LOCAL BOOT SCIPRTS (/etc/rc.local) [OK] and it just hangs there [02:53] I am having a major brain blackout.

[03:00] hartr: that is the advantage of the cli method [03:00] only few keys work [03:00] Behfar perhaps your pc is incompatible with livecd, thats why there is the alternatecd so one can use that instead of livecd [03:00] ok i will try that [03:00] sudo apt-get install kcontrol ? [03:00] kelvin911: you'll probably have to sudo apt-get install kcontrol [03:00] is there something i can type from the prompt to try to load the GUI [03:00] Hi everyone. I just upgraded to Hardy on my desktop and it won't display in the correct resolution. When this happened to me with Gutsy I just ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and was able to select the correct resolution, but now it doesn't give me any video options. I'm pretty sure it's an easy fix, but I couldn't find a solution with Google. Anyone know how to fix this? [03:00] i stuck in the header [03:00] bazhang OK - many thanks, I'll go try the stuff from the link - even if it's a bit scary! [03:00] After just installing me an ubuntu server, I realized I could run it as a "dns server".

[03:01] bazhang: do you know if I should have it set on "Roaming Mode" (default) or "Assigned By DHCP" in the Network app? It doesn't make any difference which I pick, but would that matter with these fixes? [03:01] that guy tell me to install it [03:01] i am having font problem after i upgrade to hardy [03:01] luinfana: for ethernet dhcp [03:02] fonts in terminal, opera, etc are ugly and thick [03:02] vaxius: because of kde's font settings [03:02] matt___-> you'd run your own dns server if you are the delegated owner of your domain..you can also run a caching only dns server [03:02] Hi, I need help to report on bug [03:02] Daisuke_Ido: ic [03:02] bazhang: OK fine. So...it looks like at this point I'd have to do like a kernel downgrade...is that even possible? [03:02] Daisuke_Ido: nihon jin desu ka? [03:03] why oh why are the repositories so SLOW tonight!!??? [03:03] luinfana: if you have the other kernels still around you could try booting from one of those [03:03] pure`eigenVector, hey the next steps says "install the vmware-server package" but doesnt sya how to === hustle is now known as hustl_ [03:03] luinfana what is the issue with your networking? [03:03] TelnetManta: sometimes the canadian repos. is really slow and it's easier to download from somewhere else (if you're in canada) [03:03] Daisuke_Ido: so kcontrol fix your problem too? [03:03] amenado: "delegated"? That sounds like something I'm thinking of doing...basically getting a cheap domain, and then updating my dynamic ip address of the server. would that be able to work? [03:03] bazhang: unfortunately I don't...I just installed from the hardy CD earlier today [03:03] Daisuke_Ido: did u just upgrade from gutsy to hardy? [03:03] mophead: US [03:04] matt___-> yes that would work [03:04] eatatjoes2: launch synaptec package manager... and do a search for vmware [03:04] TelnetManta: http://lifehacker.com/384325/speed-up-ubuntu-updates-with-a-mirror-server [03:04] kelvin911: i actually installed fresh [03:04] TelnetManta: ah. Then maybe it's just a busy night? [03:04] I just recieved my dell inspiron 1525, first time running ubuntu (or linux for that matter). I was wondering if there is a way to add larger resolutions in system->preferences->screen resolution [03:04] but the issue is similar [03:04] amenado: I have a Realtek 8139C+ wired ethernet card...Ubuntu can't get a network address and thus can't connect to the internet. Windows has no problems with it, and I've used old livecds on it before that have worked fine. Appears to be a new kernel issue. [03:04] Daisuke_Ido: but did your font becoming thick and ugly after you fresh install hardy? [03:04] hustl_: how high does it go? [03:04] Under CompizConfig Settings, I checked off "Reflection" under effects. That was the last thing I did before the screen went wonky. Up until then, all the effects seemed to work fine. [03:04] Hey everyone. So what I did was turn on the "reflection" setting in compiz (running ubuntu hardy heron 8.04) and it completely messed up my screen output, to a bunch of grey squares. I logged in as "gnome failsafe", which is how I am here. Should it be okay if I turn off reflection, or should I just turn off compiz altogether, and then log back in as my normal username? [03:04] amirman84, 1280x800 [03:05] luinfana: could you pastebin some logs? [03:05] amenado: so what i'm wanting to do...is simply buy a cheap domain and then update the ip, that way i could use ssh by typing in the domain, would that work? but i do remember someone telling me of a way to do that for free, do you know of what i'm talking about? [03:05] amirman84, little to big for me :p [03:05] pure`eigenVector, it comes up with 6 items, none of which are vmware server [03:05] hustl_: oh, that might be as high as your screen can handle [03:05] luinfana->which livecd you tried? the new 8.04 ?

IIRC, differetn addresses get assigned to different PCI slots so it's entirely possible that just moving the card to a different slot will fix the problem. [03:11] gogeta: one more thing: what should I type to disable compiz from the console?

[03:13] (opera, konsole) [03:13] hmmn, not sure what either of those mean. . . [03:13] pajamian: haha, welllll I just realized...it's hardwired to the MB...not gonna be able to move it anywhere :( [03:13] Daisuke_Ido: Nah, it was always Appearance & Themes, I'm thinking of the Look & Feel in System > Preferences folder in Fedora these days. [03:13] luinfana okay, on the menu System-->administration-->network what do you see? [03:13] i installed zsnes and i cant get any sound from it [03:13] vaxius glxinfo | grep direct [03:13] fde: ahhh [03:14] vaxius save you alot of lines [03:14] vaxius- is that a command to type in? [03:14] luinfana: ahhh, oh well, look in the CMOS setup, though, it may have an option to change the address in there. [03:14] freesans is very bad [03:14] AnthroTechie: use glxinfo | grep direct [03:14] pajamian: I want to synch mail from Ubuntu and Windows XP into one location. [03:14] i try dejavu sans now [03:14] amenado: "Wired Connection" and "Point to Point Connection," both grayed out [03:14] deja is a nice one, i think [03:14] pajamian: OK [03:14] gogeta: thanks, haven't used the command for a while [03:14] GamingX, use IMAP protocal instead of POP3 [03:14] hey guys how can i download things from the repositories and save them to disk? [03:15] let me restarts opera , brbr [03:15] kelvin911: ahh... I went through the fonts list for hours before I settled on it, looks nice here... you can of course pick any that is to your liking... === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:15] brb [03:15] how can i make the color of the title bars on my desktop transparent? [03:15] is there something up with security.ubuntu.com? [03:15] i cant restart [03:15] luinfana hang for a few, let me see if I can boot my 8.04 === Andy12 is now known as Andy1 [03:15] i still have 2 files downloading [03:15] vaxius, here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9095/ [03:15] k [03:15] amenado: cool, thanks [03:15] keram: it'll all be painstakingly slow for a while yet i think [03:15] ToddEDM : see the options of the synaptics, somethnig like "save de font code" [03:15] which font u r using fde? [03:15] GamingX: I wouldn't recommend it because you may have problems with one version corrupting the other, but if you want to go ahead and take the risk, then you can probably use symbolic links to point one mail directory to the location of the other. [03:15] vaxius yea that will say direct rednering yes or no in 1 line :) [03:15] vaxius, whats going on with it? [03:15] I need a little help. I just upgraded my computer to Hardy, and now it won't let me display any larger than 800x600. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg gives me no option to configure video settings. [03:15] kelvin911: just restart opera after those finish [03:16] ok [03:16] does anyone know how I can change the menus under places? for example to go to the music folder on my second hard drive? [03:16] 28 seconds [03:16] done [03:16] pajamain: Yeah, that's one worry. But I would have to keep switching OS just to check my mail. [03:16] After doing my 8.04 updates from Beta to Live, I'm missing all of my screen resolutions (only have 640x480 and a smaller one to choose). I've already attempted to do a 'nvidia-xconfig' to reconfigure my xorg.conf file, but it did not seem to have any effect. Any ideas what my next step should be? [03:16] testing [03:16] hey it works!!! [03:16] i am so happy now [03:17] awesome :) [03:17] GamingX: use IMAP as Cahan suggested [03:17] <_musso> canu install ubuntu on a windows machine from the live cd [03:17] kelvin911: it does..hehe [03:17] keram: the repositories are still a bit overloaded with all the people upgrading their installs [03:17] <_musso> or u need to get a diffrent cd? [03:17] pajamian ... yes [03:17] luinfana-> i dont have my stuff ready..so lets just see what you got.. [03:17] luinfana-> open up a terminal [03:17] why upgrading to hardy will messed up the font? [03:17] kneeki: how did you do the nvidia-xcionfig? I'm having trouble [03:17] rabbit_: ??? [03:18] Hello, I had a bad upgrade last evening to 8.04 on my AMD64 machine. It boots to shell now. When I boot with the previous kernel, I can boot OK -- but my screen resolution is only 800x600 and I can't figure out how to increase the resolution. [03:18] amenado: OK [03:18] or the default sans font is ugly in hardy? [03:18] Hey guys how are you? Ok... i upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 and my wireless is just not working, it won't connect and stays on the "Attemptint to connect to" stage. It sometimes connects to non secure access points but that is rare (usually after a reboot). I searched all the ubuntu forums and tried all the solutions provided but there is absolutely no change in my wireless issues. I tried using iwl3945 and disabeling ipw3945, vice versa after s [03:18] eeing no difference. Tried disabeling ipv6 but no change either. Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated... [03:18] mophead: I typed 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' in cli, and it regenerated my xorg.conf file [03:18] AnthroTechie: i wonder if aiglx is working for you, could you pastebin Xorg.0.log? [03:18] kelvin911: FreeSans ... you might prefer FreeSerif though... seems anti-aliased nicely etc, then I'm using a CRT monitor [03:18] luinfana-> then type sudo -s and then type ifconfig and tell us what interfaces you see on the list [03:18] fde: freesans is blur [03:18] kneeki: so sudo will run it then? [03:18] since i updated to hardy my e1000 nics wont go to gigabit speed, tried updating the driver, no luck, other nics work fine anyone familliar with this problem? [03:18] Usually, yes [03:18] amenado: eth0, eth0:avahi, and lo [03:19] fde: make me dizzy [03:19] Btw my wireless adapter is a Intel pro wireless 3945ABG [03:19] sweet. Thanks! [03:19] luinfana-> does eth0 have an ip address? [03:19] can anyone help with a compiz issue, everytime i start ubuntu 8.04 my bars on my windows that have the title of the window the x and minimize and all that dont show up until i go to compiz fusion icon in my taskbar and reload window manager any solution? [03:19] hi, someone know how to make a "bridge connection" - or what name it is in linux/ubuntu, to make search over internet? [03:19] amenado: no. [03:19] so terminal is kde app not gnome app? [03:20] weeman13221, I have the same problem [03:20] because changing the font in appearance doesnt change the font in terminal [03:20] luinfana type lshw -C network and tell us what the system detects are your network card [03:20] do you have an nvidia card? [03:20] but changing the font in kcontrol change the font in terminal? [03:20] isnt it easier to go to screen and graphics and select your monitor from the list provided ubuntu has already detected your video card [03:20] vaxius heres the result for glxinfo | grep direct: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9096/ [03:20] I can't install some of my updates and i can't install the new Hardy Ubuntu [03:20] kelvin911: for the terminal, you do Edit->Profiles [03:21] amenado: RTL-8139...do you want me to pastebin the whole thing? === tlevine is now known as Thomas_Levine [03:21] AnthroTechie: i wonder if aiglx is working for you, could you pastebin Xorg.0.log? [03:21] What replaces update-modules? [03:21] I want to blacklist my sound card [03:21] luinfana-> yeah that would be nice, also include what the livecd sees in your /etc/network/interfaces file [03:21] amenado: BTW that's the _only_ interface listed [03:21] driver [03:21] AnthroTechie: it's the only other thing i can think of [03:21] is ever yone seeing a slowdown on updates? us.archive.ubuntu.com is super slow [03:21] tech0007: doesnt work [03:22] tech0007: changing profile font still have thick font [03:22] I think it's something with modprobe, but I haven't figured out exactly which options [03:22] tech0007: but change the font in kcontrol fix the font in terminal [03:22] After doing my 8.04 updates from Beta to Live, I'm missing all of my screen resolutions (only have 640x480 and a smaller one to choose). I've already attempted to do a 'nvidia-xconfig' to reconfigure my xorg.conf file, but it did not seem to have any effect. Any ideas what my next step should be? [03:22] amenado: well I can tell you /etc/network/interfaces right off the bat. Says: auto lo iface lo inet loopback [03:22] 0OChrisO0 find any help anywhere yet, nobody seems to like to help here [03:22] When upgrading to 8.04, do I need to first complete all updates? [03:23] !patience @ weeman13221 [03:23] fde: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:23] vaxius, ah i see [03:23] GamingX: it's recommended [03:23] vaxius - here's the results for Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9097/ [03:23] hi everyone.. [03:23] hi i just installed 8.4 wasn't it supposed to have pulse audio? why do i still have the alsa mixer? [03:23] luinfana okay, just paste the lshw -C network results then [03:23] gmail-notifier gives me login credentials invalid. How do I make it work? [03:23] i just tried the alternate boot as well as regular boot for 64bit hardy heron, both hang up mid-install [03:23] does someone know how to play vcd in my new installed hardy? [03:23] kneeki: try runnin sudo nvidia-installer --update [03:24] weeman13221: they help out a lot her, just have to be patient, they are all volunteer helpers and their is a quite of bit a traffic here [03:24] AnthroTechie: sorry, that's /var/log/Xorg.0.log ... or something to that effect [03:24] weeman13221: okay, thanks [03:24] amenado: http://pastebin.com/m5a1636b6 [03:24] Hey guys how are you?

[03:24] razel: the same as a dvd; though some vcds are counterfeit and will not play well on any OS [03:24] weeman13221: but I haven't really found much help, so I got rid of compiz all together, but thats me [03:24] gmail notify tells me 'login appears to be invalid' an running it from a terminal I get Unexpected error: [03:24] I am not able to download all my updates and i can not install Hardy? [03:24] weeman13221: nvidia-installer: command not found. [03:25] helix: you can see the card in ifconfig? something like wlan0 [03:25] ok.. i tried vcd and got an error occured message.. [03:25] hi i just installed 8.4 wasn't it supposed to have pulse audio? why do i still have the alsa mixer? [03:25] bazhang, i see my eth0 card as usual. Networks are listed etc... i just cannot connect. [03:25] tyrone: I was wondering that also. :) [03:26] is it just me, or does this release seem more unstable than other ubuntu releases? [03:26] hello [03:26] helix: can you scan for an ap? [03:26] Daisuke_Ido: do u use openoffice? [03:26] Anyone know how to limit the geometry of a VIno display? [03:26] yep [03:26] kneeki: well go to nvidias website, and try to install the newest driver they have, and thatll configure ur xorg.conf i had the same prob when i updated, just had reinstall my vid driver from 169.09 to 169.12 but im runnin an 8800gts 512 [03:26] is gnome-compiz-manager no long available in ubuntu 8.04? [03:26] Daisuke_Ido: do you notice that the openoffice title bar is buggy? [03:26] kneeki, it is weird isn't it? I hope someone gives me an answer [03:26] *longer [03:26] are bug fixes being pushed out to repositories yet? [03:26] tyrone: kneeki: ps aux | grep pulseaudio [03:26] i haven't noticed, really [03:26] tyrone: well hardy has pulseaudio, but alsa is still included [03:26] luinfana-> if you type mii-tool what is the result? [03:26] vaxius - I don't know those commands :( [03:26] kneeki, youll have to run it in virtual terminal [03:27] bazhang, i do not know the iwconfig / ifconfig commands very well for im not an expert in these, but all i can tell is that it gets to the Connection attempt and just stays there. [03:27] Daisuke_Ido: whenever i move the mouse over the min, max, close button, the bar keeps flicking and disappear? [03:27] How/where can I download packages for Hardy to a jump drive, for use on an internet deprived machine? [03:27] Is there a tool available that will make a list of all installed applications (without all the dependencies)? I'd like to do a clean install of 8.04, but want to have a list of all the packages I need to install afterward to get my system back to where it is right now. [03:27] amenado: sudo mii-tool? [03:27] weeman13221: Not sure what that is. [03:27] kneeki, im gonna list out some commands to u, copy em down, should work for u [03:27] amenado: eth0: link ok [03:27] weeman13221: okay [03:27] luinfana, where it pulseauido? i found it in the repositories i just installed it but wasn't it supposed to come already intalled? [03:27] sdakak-> he is already sudo [03:27] I am not able to install Hardy through the update manager and i don't know why? [03:27] helix could you please pastebin the output of ifconfig? [03:27] Mapp: Did you install all the gutsy updates first? [03:27] anyone know how to get gnome-compiz-manager working on ubuntu 8.04? [03:27] luinfana-> you are sure your cable between your host and your router is okay right? [03:27] tyrone: to start it up press alt+F2 (Run window), and type "pavucontrol" [03:28] AnthroTechie: k, use "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and paste what it spits out [03:28] is it possible to find out the software version via apt-cache? eg apt-cache search asterisk will only show the package but not the version [03:28] Creationist: let me know if you get an answer on that, I'd like that too.. [03:28] amenado: quadruple-checked [03:28] Prez00: Sure thing. [03:28] justnuts: apt-cache show [03:28] Mapp: Just start the update-manager, press check, install all the gutsy updates, then you will have an option to upgrade. [03:28] luinfana, why is it like that? [03:28] are people still having problems installing packages? ie, servers being hit still? [03:28] tech0007: thx [03:28] kneeki; go to nvidias website and find the driver for ur video card for linux [03:28] helix: What kind of wireless device do you have? 'lspci | grep -i wireless' maybe, else just lspci and see if anything looks like it might be wireless [03:28] Creationist: via dpkg? dpkg -l [03:28] weeman13221: okay [03:28] bazhang: http://pastebin.com/m360cde8 (and thank you for your help) [03:28] Sdakak: i can't when i try not all of the updates install [03:28] luinfana-> type dhclient eth0; and then ifconfig and tell me if it acquiered an ip address..better yet paste the results [03:28] tyrone: you mean, why is it called "pavucontrol" and not "pulseaudio," or why are both pulse and alsa included in the distribution? [03:28] since i updated to hardy my e1000 nics wont go to gigabit speed, tried updating the driver, no luck, other nics work fine, anyone knows what might be causing this? [03:28] Marfi: yep, got up to 1K at one point but mostly about 400Bps [03:29] kneeki: next make sure u have build essentials by doing sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:29] Mapp: You can't download them or is there an error after all the packages are downloaded [03:29] is there anyone who can help with this??? To mount partitions to show up as disk drives in file manager rather than as folders?? cus in 7.10 gutsy it used to do that automatically [03:29] bazhang: Doesn't that list every single package installed, though? I just want the application packages (so I can just run an apt-get install [application list]) [03:29] mitchell__: what's the output of dmesg | grep eth0 [03:29] amenado: already tried that multiple times, it tries for a couple seconds and then says "no dhcpoffers recieved" [03:29] luinfana, why is it called pavucontrol? and was it already installed and i just installed the applet? [03:29] vaxius, aight, ty. does this release seem more buggy than past releases to you? [03:29] fde: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) [03:29] helix: eth0 is the ethernet; your card is not seen in ifconfig-->this is hardy right? [03:29] tyrone: not sure...what package did you just install? [03:29] Can someone help me with gmail-notify I get login appears to be invalid. [03:29] it says that some of the respiratory indexes could not be downloaded [03:29] tyrone: I'm pretty sure it's there by default though [03:29] coz_: HI! [03:30] Creationist: you may want aptoncd then [03:30] Mapp: try to use the nearest mirror [03:30] luinfana-> you tried it earlier? but now since i have assisted you, can you try once more? [03:30] tech0007: e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX [03:30] weeman13221: okay, downloaded latest drivers, and installing build-essencials now [03:30] bazhang: Okay, I'll look into that. [03:30] bazhang, for some reason my wireless card has always been seen as eth1. I don't know why it doesnt show up as wlan [03:30] helix: Do you have the firmware stuff for that card installed? also, is the module loaded? lsmod | ipw [03:30] Mapp: you can use update manager to search for the fastest server [03:30] bazhang: Thank you. [03:30] amenado: sure no prob === antix is now known as fumduq [03:30] helix: same here [03:30] bazhang, yes the problem occured on hardy [03:30] kneeki:then do sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-dev [03:30] fde, which is the best? iwl or ipw? [03:30] Can someone explain to me if alsa rides on top of pulse audio or vice verse or can you only have one or the other? Is there an easy way to configure pulseaudio? how? My standard plug in mic (not usb) stopped working after the upgrade. [03:31] weeman13221: After I'm done installing build ess. I will. Leave the drivers on the desktop for now? [03:31] weeman13221: Do you know what driver would I need for intel X3100, when I try the water effects in compiz everything greys out. [03:31] luinfana, i am not exatly sure which one i installed it was on the add/ remove aplications [03:31] Marfi: not really, and finally suspend works again with nvidia (after switching off agpgart, and a suspend script I shoved in) [03:31] fde: lsmod | ipw = command not found [03:31] mitchell__: use modinfo if there's an option to turn it to gigabit [03:31] DrifterSX [03:31] helix some folks are getting the bug with the transition from ipw3945 driver to iwl you appear to be one of them === bryan is now known as DrifterSX [03:31] helix: I thought it was 'intel pro wireless' I might have the module name remembered incorrectly though... | grep ipw not just ipw though sorry [03:31] bazhang, yes that is what i have read on the forums. I tried the solutions that solved other peoples problem but i guess i am unlucky :) [03:31] tech0007: there is a speed option [03:31] kneeki: yeah leave driver there but know how to navigate to it in termal later, are u comfortable with terminal? [03:32] Marfi: in /etc/acpi/suspend.d/ [03:32] fde, the module should be iwl3945 [03:32] i cant get brasero to work on hardy it just tells me that its trying to finish up putting my song selection into the program before it burns and it just stays like that [03:32] helix this a regression and there is a fix in the works-->sorry I know that is not much consolation now [03:32] fde, for the new one at least.... does ipw3945 not work anymore? [03:32] sdakak: not off hand sorry, try lookin it up around the web or keep asking around, someone is bound to know [03:32] Tech007: i am still not able to download all of the respiratory indexes [03:32] i decided to leave it like that while i went to work, just got home and its still has that little orange bar going back and forth [03:32] weeman13221: Not compleatly, but I've used it before a few times. I can navigate there easily enough though [03:32] vaxius, ah, gotcha. i always just turned my monitor off on my nvidia box, and worked fine w/ my intel lapytop [03:32] hey guys, I've googled but not found, how do I use clamav to scan a network share? [03:32] weeman13221: before i thought all intel cards are just 'intel' like we have 'nvidia'. [03:32] mitchell__: from ur dmesg output, it shows as 100MBps, maybe you're using the wrong driver? [03:32] vaxius: results for cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9098/ [03:32] weeman13221: 38% done installing btw [03:32] tyrone: well I wouldn't worry about it, as long as the pavucontrol command brings up the pulse mixer [03:32] ANYONE??? [03:32] bazhang, is it possible to switch back to the good'ol ipw ? [03:33] !twistd [03:33] Factoid twistd not found [03:33] luinfana, you are right thanks :D [03:33] bazhang: i did played a dvd movie is there no way i can play a vcd?? [03:33] sdakak: dunno ive never really worked with anything other than my 8800gts 512 [03:33] what can I use to install NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.12-pkg1.run if I am using kubuntu [03:33] DrifterSX: this is the livecd; have you tried the alternate cd [03:33] tyrone: np [03:33] I upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 and whenever my computer boots there is a error report detected, saying twistd has crashed. What is twisted and how do I stop this? [03:33] weeman13221: nm. [03:33] helix: I honestly don't know, as I don't have a wireless card... I just know there is firmware stuff you probably need, I can't find what that firmware is though atm [03:33] Mapp: i'm using Taiwan mirror (don't ask why hehe) and it works for me [03:33] amenado: http://pastebin.com/d24c53803 [03:33] kneeki: ok,so are u at the xserver install yet? [03:34] alright i will try [03:34] razel as I said earlier some vcds are badly done/counterfeits [03:34] How do I report issues with the ubuntu website itself? [03:34] sdakak: i had crashes but for other programs, i had to do a "partial upgrade", check your upgrade manager [03:34] anyone know how to scan a network share for viruses? [03:34] weeman13221: Not there yet, 63% done installing [03:34] ikt: Windows viruses? [03:34] weeman13221: Almost. =( [03:34] helix: after the full upgrade is done I can again upgrade? It doesn't show any options now. [03:34] AnthroTechie: You probably have to use ati's proprietary driver (go to System -> Administration -> Device Drivers) [03:34] kneeki:lol slow internet? [03:34] bazhang: badly done? you mean fake? pirated? [03:34] yeah [03:34] helix: take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636177 it's old, but ensure your case fits that... [03:34] Hey everyone. I tried to run compiz --replace and I got this message: [03:34] Checking for Xgl: not present.

Which to use i do not know... [03:35] razel either or perhaps both [03:35] weeman13221: Not usually, no.

[03:44] amenado: my connection looks like this: cable modem -> (wireless) router -> switch [03:44] kneeki: if still nuttin dont worry about it [03:44] weeman13221: Same result. If I browse to that dir though, there is a '/etc/default/linux-restriced-modules-common' file [03:44] I tried setting up my menu.lst so that I could have Winblows XP on the last part. Thing is, when I select it, it just gets to "Starting up..." then nothing else. http://paste.ubuntu.com/9099/ [03:44] does anyone know if any application is compatible with the Sansa view? [03:44] amenado: also I tried taking out the switch, so it was just modem -> router -> computer [03:44] kneeki: ok what does it say in ur restriced drivers settings [03:44] kneeki: if anything [03:45] Mattevt: what have you tried so far [03:45] luinfana-> what kind of router is this? what brand? you have ability to configure this router? [03:45] weeman13221: The only line that is not commented is 'DISABLED_MODULES=""' [03:45] hart1: the -D bit? not sure what you are referring to [03:45] nothing === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:46] kneeki in the "" put nv [03:46] is anyone else having issues with samba in hardy?

[03:46] bazhang: I just connected the usb cable...in windows, WMP usually pops up. But I can't even view the mp3 player in "Computer" [03:46] luinfana how is the current pc you are using to chat now connected? same connectivity -- pc --switch--router(wireless)--dslmodem ? [03:46] I just installed Ubuntu tonight. Everything seems to work except the Wireless. My computer is a Dell D610. Any ideas? [03:46] I'm new to ubuntu as of two days ago, bazhang, I honestly wouldn't know what to try [03:47] amenado: it's a Netgear Super-G router...not sure of the model no. [03:47] kneeki: yes then save the file [03:47] how do i add windows to grub? i have this ---> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9099/ ---> but it gets to "Starting up..." then nothing else. [03:47] IndyGunFreak, your back, you got time to work with me? [03:47] Mattevt: Applications > Add/Remove > make sure it's search "All Available" and search for 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' install that and try again! [03:47] Mattevt: try gtkpod or rhythmbox for gnome, amarok for kde (or for gnome if you dont mind kde stuff with gnome) [03:47] Mattevt, are you on Ubuntu or in Win [03:47] amenado: this PC is a laptop, goes: modem -> wireless -> laptop [03:47] Isn't the new ubuntu supposed to show up in the upgrade manager? [03:47] kneeki: ok from here ur gonna copy some stuff down cause u wont be able to be on here cause ur gonna go into virtual terminal [03:48] AnthroTechie: i don't know what else to do, it looks like amd doesn't support a card as old as yours in their driver [03:48] bazhang: The howto says "sudo wpa_supplicant -w -D<****see footer below***> -i -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf " and the footnote says to do "man wpa_supplicant" to get the value for each driver - but my unit is not listed... [03:48] amenado: and yes, I can directly configure this router [03:48] kneeki: ready? [03:48] weeman13221: Not yet, I forgot how to open the file as sudo via GUI [03:48] AnthroTechie: you could do this with xgl, but that might be more of a pain than it's worth [03:48] arvind_khadri: ubuntu (hardy) I dual boot with Vista, but I'm trying to use Ubuntu the majority of the time [03:48] can anyone help with a compiz issue, everytime i start ubuntu my bars on my windows that have the title of the window the x and minimize and all that dont show up until i go to compiz fusion icon in my taskbar and reload window manager any solution? [03:48] thanks guys I'll try what you suggested [03:48] Mattevt: It should have asked you whether you wanted to install support for such things, but I guess it didn't... [03:48] hart1: dont know if you need that for the 3945; it always just worked so likely not needed [03:49] kneeki: which file? [03:49] Mattevt, ok so you cant view files?? [03:49] bazhang: so don't use the -D bit at all? [03:49] weeman13221: linux-restricted- .... [03:49] egads [03:49] Can I log in as root, and delete all user accounts, and recreate?

But when I view the file in Text Editor, it has contents [03:50] hmm [03:50] spikebike: Uhm, I lost my screen resolutions [03:50] thats odd [03:50] AnthroTechie: doing sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl does it all i guess, so it's not as much of a pain as it used to be [03:50] pyrohotdog, gksu users-admin [03:50] bazhang: i'm sorry to be a bother, but after that helping u're doing, would u mind looking at http://paste.ubuntu.com/9099/ --> my grub [03:50] spikebike: Trying to get them back. :( [03:50] us.archive.ubuntu.com...is it down?

[03:53] weeman13221: Oi! I don't know how to use that vi thing. When I try to add nv to it, it gives me an error [03:53] I'm going to jump in the boat.. I have sound issues that weren't there before the upgrade.. Ekiga can't test the audio device saying it's not there or not configured correctly.. Any assistance to decypher this? [03:53] heiii [03:53] yeah, ati's driver only works with recent cards, and i don't know if you can make the radeon driver do what you want it to do [03:53] kneeki: what does it say?

[04:00] Just to make sure, if I want to include the iso of ubuntu as a file on a live cd, I can just mount the ubuntu image iso to a loopback device, copy a file to it, unmount the device and burn the cd iso onto a dvd(since it will be larger than a cd?) and it will still boot? Or do I need to change something else in addition since I'll be using a dvd rather than cd to boot the live-cd from? [04:00] fde i doubt it if Firefox and Pidgin would be dependent on network manager..it should not be at all [04:00] Odd problem, I was in the middle of my upgrade to the new version, and after the first step completed it gave a popup asking if i wanted to do something... but I was typing an email and apparently was typing the n button or something, because then the upgrade just stopped put an "X" next to the second item, and now it doesn't show in the update manager to upgrade anymore [04:00] spikebike: how do I know how many blocks the fs currently uses and how to figure out how much data 1 block holds? [04:00] waxhead: How do you define 2d slowness? [04:00] pajamian: NetworkManager does too though, and /etc/networking restart doesn't contain networkmanager stuff... you can try it though if you want... [04:01] amenado: I'm telling you they are... [04:01] monkeybritches: alt tab - general window drawing slowness.. [04:01] Amenado: My EEEpc died, so I am trying to install the ISO of XUBUNTU or UBUNTU onto a 8gb sd disk.. to fix my EEEpc by loading up the ISO and deleting the Xandros that is dead in the EEEpc [04:01] MrGnu-> good luck on that card reader, i have not problem with using one off the shelf ..10 dolares kind..cheapo one [04:01] somebody please send me a message, I need help connecting to the internet with ubuntu. [04:01] anyone here know how to force mount a usb hard disk [04:01] monkeybritches: I've installed the restricted drivers for the nvida card.. [04:01] Spikebike: I have a new nvidia 8500 gt. It worked under 71.0. I did a clean install of 8.04. Went to Hardware Drivers and enbaled the nvidia driver. It was downloaded and enbaled. As soon as it did my resolution went to 640 X 480 [04:01] amenado: Pidgin since 2.4.0 and Firefox at least since 3.0 beta1 [04:01] waxhead: How was it before you installed the drivers? [04:01] amenado: Thanks, I am going to need it. Xp does not have the driver [04:01] fde-> am telling you also that it should not be at all, Firefox do not have that kind of dependencies [04:01] fde: ok, then, what's the "proper" way to restart it? [04:01] chiphead: i think i have a solution for u did same with my 8800ts 512 [04:01] monkeybritches: seemed slow then too... [04:01] somebody please send me a message, I need help connecting to the internet with ubuntu. [04:01] gts* [04:02] BoJaN: what's your trouble? [04:02] chiphead: just got done with someone with same prob [04:02] amenado: But I am going to try a couple of things, and cross my fingers, otherwise there could be some trouble [04:02] pajamian: I'll tell you when I figure it out... last time I tried though, I was only able to access the internet via CLI until I restarted the computer. [04:02] amenado: thank you again bro [04:02] how can i install a GMD Theme? [04:02] monkeybritches: I installed beta clean ( new laptop ) 5 days before the release. [04:02] I left this message earlier a different NICK, but had to leave. I'm having problems getting my Wireless Networking Card to work in my Dell D610 laptop. Everything else seems to be working. Where would I start in trying to troubleshoot the problem. I'm new to Ubundu and do not know any command line commands [04:02] MrGnu-> you're welcome, good luck my friend [04:02] chiphead: you might have to use the nvidia driver and not the open source one [04:02] fde: well, that would be a step in the right direction, at least, heh. [04:02] It only lets me connect to the internet when It's connected to my XP computer using a crossover cable [04:02] amenado: I ll let you know how it worked out [04:02] weeman13221: how do I do that? [04:02] waxhead: Are the restricted drivers the ones that came with the installation? Have you tried downloading drivers from nVidia? [04:03] MrGnu okay [04:03] pajamian: hah [04:03] but when I try a direct connection I can't connect [04:03] chiphead is using the driver [04:03] BoJaN: I assume we're talking about a laptop here? And Hardy (8.04?) [04:03] BoJaN are u under a HUB? [04:03] chiphead: go to nvidia's website and download the driver installer for your video card for linux [04:03] is there a way i can get xubuntu to process the ~/.xinitrc file but still load the session i tell it to load on the login menu? [04:03] monkeybritches: last time I did this I found a link on the ubuntu forums that showed at the xorg.conf needed to look like... [04:03] weeman dunno, that seems broken [04:03] bazhang: looking at it now.. don't see anything that could help me.. again, please look.. i posted my issue in the forum, so that i won't flood the channel.. ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4831757#post4831757 *the least reply* [04:03] Wyzard: where do I get a serial number from for vmware? [04:03] PC, 8.04 and no im not under a hub [04:03] monkeybritches: I used the ones in the distro... installed from restricted drivers [04:03] amenado: Apologies about stepping on your toes btw, continue helping him as I wasn't following... just weird that you were talking about the same thing I was at the same time :) [04:03] Weeman13221: thanks I'll try that [04:03] then why you need a cross over cable for? [04:04] chiphead: ther is more to it than that [04:04] I was using my XP computer as a router [04:04] that seems to either result in A GLX being broken or B all windows decorations flashing/disappearing [04:04] chiphead: you wont be able to just run the installer normally in ubuntu [04:04] We only have 2 IPs here [04:04] fde, no not stepping in my toes at all, more brains to attack a problem is better me thinks..we compliment each other [04:04] LoL i see [04:04] our ISP doesn't do networking so we didnt get a router or anything [04:04] BoJaN: internet connection = cable or DSL? [04:04] I would recommend downloading the latest from nVidia. Also search ubuntuforums.org using your card model as search criteria to see if anyone else had similar problems and a resolution. [04:05] BoJaN-> come again? ISP does not do networking? [04:05] LoL [04:05] amenado: Your assistance would help on version prior to Hardy I think, but NetworkManager is now default across the desktop, so keep it in mind [04:05] just 2 external IPs so Im trying to use my linux machine as a server and router [04:05] he means filter the webpages [04:05] i think [04:05] bazhang: no - the line in my file refers to wlan0 not to eth0 - the interface works in unsecured mode, I just can't get it to connect in WPA-PSK mode... [04:05] BoJaN: do you have access to the machine in question right now? [04:05] yes [04:05] amenado: fde: luinfana: well the way I figure it he can restart networking and at least see if it works for pinging, etc. If it breaks FF and Pidgin then at least he knows that he just has to reboot at that point. [04:05] fde I may not be seeing the link, i'd like to turn off network manager and test this out..you recall how to disable network manager? [04:05] vaxius: yeah its still failing to fetch files [04:05] BoJaN: OK, so try plugging it directly into ethernet [04:06] I have [04:06] thats the problem [04:06] it doesnt work [04:06] hart1: sorry to leave mid-fix, but I have to head out for awhile [04:06] only when my XP machine is between it and the modem [04:06] so ur using ur XP Machine like a proxy [04:06] BoJaN: right, but try it anywa [04:06] anyone here happen to know and speak French? [04:06] OK - I have to go out soon to. Will try again here later... [04:06] yeah pretty much [04:07] Non... [04:07] yo bro [04:07] amenado: I think you can just Uncheck "Enable Networking" by right click menu on nm-applet... wait... then re-check it... but I'm not 100% sure... NetworkManager is a wrapper around all the classic stuff though giving a dbus interface, and I think others are using that exclusively now. [04:07] babolat: the grub how to is not what you need--first use gparted then boot from the live cd to update grub have to head out now--sorry to leave in mid-fix stream [04:07] hi all...anyone got a minute to help a noob with a serial problem??

[05:34] Randomizer: i tried the madwifi thing, but it didn't help. i'm not sure how i missed that thread. i'm on dual-boot, so i have to switch OSes. i'll go give i another try. [05:34] i did that arvind_k and i entered my password for sudo after i hit enter when it asked me for it [05:34] drivetrax: look what i found [05:34] i downloaded it from the add/remove list [05:35] /usr/share/gdm/themes [05:35] tmapj: ok, then look in your Applications [05:35] does anyone else need to restart networkmanager at least once a day because it takes up to 25% of 1GB RAM? [05:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/9124/ arvind_k [05:35] how can I add an internal IDE drive & get grub to not crap out on me? when I add the new HD to the slave connection on the IDE cable, I get an Error 22 when GRUB tries to get to stage 2 [05:35] update now arvind_k ?

[05:35] hi, my network interfaces file is messed up and networkmanager doesn't detect my wireless connection. i need help immediatley!!! [05:35] smee: When I had issue, I found it VERY useful to get a second computer/laptop to surf while setting up wifi (or hoowing up an ethernet connection) [05:35] I have a question.. I'm trying to run Folding@home on Ubuntu 8.04 x64.. however, even though I have all the permissions set.. after I cd to /folding and type /fah6 or ./fah6 it tells me it can't find the specified folder or program. when I type in dir, it shows them. the capitalization is correct. [05:35] I just accidentally hit alt-shift-upArrow and it presented this really cool compiz effect.... anyone got a pointer to more hotkey/shortcuts ? [05:35] Uplink, possible -- try the security tab.. and allow usr to change login screens [05:35] yes i know its there but how do i open this file i just downloaded. do i have to go into the program first then find the file and play it? [05:36] how do i fix virtual box flannel or do i not need it? [05:36] GiXXeR420, we need to get all the keys [05:36] Randomizer: i have a desktop too, but it won't let any irc program connect to the servers for some reason [05:36] CaptainMorgan: System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shorcuts [05:36] GiXXeR420: That pastebin has nothing to do with virtualbox [05:36] tmapj: likely, that would work [05:36] Flannel, am on it :) dont worry [05:36] Randomizer: for now i just have to keep hopping back and forth, i guess [05:36] GiXXeR420, did you do the second key add i gave [05:36] i know Flannel [05:37] whats the recommended way of installing eclipse should i use apt-get?

[05:37] GiXXeR420, ok [05:37] wurd [05:37] supersako: yep [05:37] stbain, maybe a more specific hotkey -> cool compiz reaction effect would be more correct to say [05:37] GiXXeR420, had gone to lock the door :) [05:37] I have a write protected file in my gnome trash can, how do i remove it?

[05:41] wow System Monitor has quite a bit of useful information [05:41] lyzium use the terminal (sudo rm file) [05:41] Bidget: yes, its useful === ktosborne is now known as Bob_Dole [05:41] how do I tell firefox-2, to open when I type firefox in the terminal. As I think that's causing some problems in a OOo extension [05:41] running arvind_k [05:41] erd commander also good, but changes passwords does not reveal it Morph3us [05:41] oh hey another quick question, when I load up I have the choice for 2 different kernels, should I delete the older one?

[05:42] use CTRL+H to see hidden files [05:42] np Morph3us [05:43] another quick question, when I load up I have the choice for 2 different kernels, should I delete the older one? Or does it take up very much space? [05:43] Uplink: k, use chmod for changing permissions on a folder (e.g. "chmod 644 test" to make a directory named test have read and write for the owner, and read for the group and others) [05:43] anyone? [05:43] I can chmod it, I've done that already. and it only has 2 CLI versions, version 6, and version 5.04. These are universal to all linux distrobution. [05:43] Bidget: it doesn't take up too much space, it's good for recovery if you have a failure with the updated version [05:43] buntunub, eg. /home/user/.Trash ? because it isnt unfortunately [05:43] musikgoat, alright thanks [05:43] Bidget: You can delete older ones (by removing their package), they don't take up a whole lot of space, and its usually a good idea to keep one old one around, even when you do do cleaning (incase you find a bug in the new one) [05:43] hey all.. how do I go about installing curses.h in ubuntu?

The latter is also read by KDM for common configuration.

[07:06] ah ok then I have installed the plugins already. Thanks mevsthevoices! Oh wait about streamripper? [07:06] maunykah: If you're using GNOME, check out exaile. It's similar to Amarok but built on GTK. Radio works well on it. [07:06] If you want to rip it sure [07:06] does anyone know why my system is getting graphical lag in ubuntu 8.0.4? Using ati x800xl. The restricted driver says in use. It was fine in 7.10 but after upgrading, windows takes longer to fully maximize, login/logout screens are like a slideshow, firefox also scroll slowly. I turned down the effects to none, and firefox scroll bit faster, but other graphical lag still exists... Is there something with compiz?

[07:10] lousygarua: even if i used firefox 3, tranmission = torrent client [07:11] also got a problem with kde-window-decorator window decorations only appearing on currently active windows with compiz, but i'm guessing thats more of a kubuntu issue [07:11] wuxia: if you edit your menus, there's an entry in applications > system tools > New Login that's disabled by default... i think that sets up the new login on the next TTY [07:11] would be nice if the descriptions of nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new listed supported cards [07:11] Thanks Boohbah and ubottu [07:11] drivetrax, what is seamonkey?

I'm not in gnome right now, and not convenitnt for me to pop into gnome [07:12] How do I forcibly kill a process?

[07:13] drivetrax, downloading, I will check it and tell you later [07:13] -9 means kill without waiting for the process to exit "gracefully" [07:13] roxahris you can also use kill PID [07:13] Anza, -- I liked it because it used chrome, but now.. even that has changed.. but it works differently than FireFox [07:13] wuxia: of course there's an old school way of doing this too.. I can't recall it though [07:13] How do I set the process? [07:13] but -9 works for stubborn processes... usually [07:13] astro76: it appears to work ... thanks! [07:13] wuxia: cool, enjoy [07:13] if you wanted to kill firefox you'd do ps x | grep -i firefox [07:14] check the PID and use that as the PID in your kill line [07:14] Flannel: so it's ok that your memory is consumed with those little applications that you're running ? [07:14] Why do time stamps in dmesg jump also to smaller values in time? See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/209281/ line 215. [07:14] the system sets the process number, you just have to find out what it is [07:14] Actually [07:14] When I was in Gutsy, I killed firefox by using killall firefox-bin, or killing the PID.

[07:16] Flannel: ah ok .. i got your point. so basically there's nothing to worry about it. thanks for the info [07:16] I better not try to help anyone else.. i just confuse the situation [07:16] !aptfix | roxahris you might need this too [07:16] roxahris you might need this too: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [07:16] I have noticed .. sometimes windows will function, do their thing, and not report/end their stated use..

[07:57] Then removing what you added or whatever [07:57] it says right at the top of the file "this file MUST be edited with the visudo command as root" [07:57] but when i do" ping google.com" no resoponse [07:57] imbecile, I put wlan0 in this line because it's the common name for the WiFi interface, but you should replace it with yours, the same interface name you used to put it in monitor mode [07:57] no [07:57] how can i make audacious louder? :( [07:57] sorry [07:57] i've tried root hd0,0 everything [07:58] still can't boot into windows [07:58] i CANT ping nor surf [07:58] Ohh ok [07:58] hi, i just put my wireless into monitor mode how do i reenable it for regulat use? i tried "ifconfig wlan0 mode managed" and got error saying "mode: unknown host" [07:58] Domevlo: actually I should clarify.. I'm not referring to the backports repository here, but the process of taking a security/bug fix for a software package, which is typically done on the latest version of that software, and adding that fix to the (possibly older) version in Ubuntu [07:58] ubuntuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!! [07:58] how do I fix visudo? [07:58] I see what your doing [07:58] brod :now you talking [07:58] Hang about try and remember [07:58] :) [07:58] imbecile, use "iwconfig" without any argument to see the name of your wifi interface [07:58] Bidget: just type :quit! and it will exit out without saving anything you have changed [07:58] THANK YOU [07:59] Bidget: Depends, how is it broken? [07:59] three cheers for ubuntu! [07:59] ok zvacet now that u understood, plz suggest some solution [07:59] Domevlo: the backports repository actually does what you asked about first... they can package newer versions of software like pidgin, and make them available to older Ubuntu versions [07:59] !xorg [07:59] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

I would suggest searching for a good crash-course tutorial in vi basics. but to edit a file, you first have to enter insert mode... after you open the file press the Insert key, make your changes, then press the Esc key to get out of insert mode. then type :wq to exit and save the file [08:02] Anyone think they can help me boot into my windows partition? [08:02] any other way [08:02] Bidget, vi is a link to vim where the original vi is not installed - and that's most of the time on linux [08:02] First off...

[08:09] tenju: what did find /boot/grub/stage1 come back with? [08:09] If I already have a hard drive with WinXP on it, then I go and add a new IDE hard drive as the slave, would installing multiple distros on that change ANYTHING on my WinXP drive? [08:09] I have a terminal based standalone system [08:09] imbecile, the wifi mode setting is not permanent, so as a last ressort you may just reboot... sorry to have no better solution for now... you seem to have a wifi card using a quite different driver from mine [08:09] its a minimal install [08:09] Bidget, you might want to try editing the file in gedit. 'gksu gedit /etc/sudoers' [08:09] Bidget, you need to step into insert mode .. press o at the last line [08:09] why when i am playing music with rhythm box i can not hear sound in youtube?? [08:09] hd0,6 which is linux [08:09] Hey, I have a questrion [08:10] FastZ, it says right in the file that I cant do that [08:10] i heard it can be done with something called mgetty [08:10] Bidget: o to add line below and start editing... you will really need to learn vi basics or... [08:10] swap [08:10] Bidget: do sudo update-alternatives --config editor, and change default editor to nano [08:10] FastZ: gksudo [08:10] FastZ, not recommended .. better like this. sudo sh -c "EDITOR=gedit visudo" [08:10] Bidget: then visudo will use nano [08:10] unop, I'm in insert mode, if I hit j to go down a line it just inserts a j which I cant delete because backspace doesnt work and delete erases the character that the flashing box is on [08:10] tenju: ohh ok open up to edit 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.1st' [08:11] unop: sh -c isn't required... [08:11] fde, it sure is if you are using a variable assignment like that (to sudo) [08:11] unop: what's what with using gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers? [08:11] Ubuntu thinks my processor is an AMD64 one [08:11] But it's an Intel! === BuZZ-dEE is now known as BuZZdEE [08:11] ok [08:11] /msg ubottu etiquette [08:11] FastZ, no locking [08:11] unop: can just do 'sudo gedit /etc/sudoers' [08:11] unop: which means? [08:11] /msg ubuntu etiquette [08:12] Does that make any significant or bad diffrence? [08:12] tenju: or try setting root with root(hd0,6) [08:12] !ask | roxahris [08:12] roxahris: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [08:12] Sorry. [08:12] fde: using visudo does file locking and syntax checking, so you don't bork your system [08:12] tenju: at the grub prompt [08:12] FastZ, why do you think visudo was written .. it locks /etc/sudoers before opening it up for editing so as to prevent any nasty surpises [08:12] If I already have a hard drive with WinXP on it, then I go and add a new IDE hard drive as the slave, would installing multiple distros on that change ANYTHING on my WinXP drive? [08:12] roxahris, that refers to architecture I think [08:12] unop: that's why you make a copy of your file before you edit it. [08:12] Ubuntu thinks my processor is an AMD64 one, but it's an Intel Pentium 4. Does that make a diffrence? [08:12] Oh, okay. [08:12] what? [08:12] oh wait [08:13] astro76: I don't think anyone should be messing with that file if they don't know syntax... [08:13] pentium 4?! [08:13] But 6 is my linux partition [08:13] FastZ, visduo also checks the syntax of /etc/sudoers, thats very important [08:13] pentium 4s aren't 64bit, roxahris [08:13] FastZ: it's hard to replace a file with a backup when sudo no longer works [08:13] fde: typos, etc... [08:13] tenju: try going to the grub prompt at typing root (hd0,6) [08:13] astro76: now that's a decent answer. thanks [08:13] tenju: then using setup (hd0) [08:13] According to the stickers on the box, it's a Pentium. [08:13] help! something keeps raping my dying hard drive and i can't stop it [08:13] How can I install zsnes on a 64bit install of hardy heron? [08:13] fde: most software you get an error, then fix it, messing up sudoers is kinda inconvenient [08:14] it says selected disk does not exist [08:14] and when it does, my system becomes unresponsive and unusable [08:14] So, either the box is wrong (likely) or everything is working magically [08:14] astro76: Hence don't mess with it at all if you don't know what you're doing... [08:14] tenju: from the root prompt? [08:14] from grub [08:14] It DOES say it's a "Pentium 4 641" [08:14] using root (hd0,6) [08:14] tenju: when you typed root (hd0,1) it came back with does not exist? [08:14] roxahris, thats nothing a sharpie can't fix! ;) [08:14] astro76: deleting all users from the file is perfectly good syntax... not too clever on an Ubuntu system either. [08:14] tenju: what the heck ok gang about [08:15] Yep [08:15] Sharpie? [08:15] says it does not exist [08:15] Any idea how to calibrate a notebook battery in (x)ubuntu? [08:15] morning [08:15] roxahris, Yaknow, permanent marker? :( Jokes are less fun when they need be explained, haha [08:15] Anyway... if this is so wrong... why does my computer work!? [08:15] roxahris, a working computer is a good computer :) [08:16] Then again... my computer is amazing. [08:16] roxahris good for you [08:16] I have Vista on it. Only crashed once, and then was because I hard-reset it. [08:16] roxahris, computers are like aliving beings after all :) you mustpet them from time to time [08:16] lol vista [08:16] Exactly! [08:16] i'm currently on XP :) [08:16] fde, you might like to use a normal editor to edit sudoers - but don't recommend it to other people (who might not know what they are doing) - it's just not safe enough. [08:16] :o [08:17] Well, that problem has been 'dealt' with... [08:17] * roxahris drinks tea [08:17] vista < xp [08:17] xp < ubu [08:17] uby < me [08:17] : ) [08:17] unop: My point is it's not safe for anyone that doesn't know what they're doing... [08:17] I dont know about that. [08:17] morela, you got that right [08:17] ;p [08:17] help! something keeps raping my dying hard drive, and i can't stop it. when it does, my system becomes unreponsive. i need to figure out what's doing it [08:17] This is annoying the crap out of me [08:17] i know a microsoft kernel programmer who agrees that xp > vista [08:18] Man, it would be hard to rape a hard drive... oh wait. [08:18] tanath, what ubuntu u use [08:18] Anywho. Does ANYONE know if installing Linux(Including but not limited to Ubuntu) on my slave IDE drive will change ANY of the files on the master drive? I want to use my 500gb drive to test different distros, but I don't want to mess up my main computer. [08:18] lousygarua, hardy [08:18] tanath, if it's hardy it's ok [08:18] fde, my point is visudo catches common errors through a syntax check so you have less of a chance of messing up and it is the recommended way of doing it. [08:18] unop: But alas, if we continue this discussion, someone might like to try something we say showing why it's bad, and mess up their system, so lets drop it :) [08:18] tanath, it's a file indexer for the tracker tool [08:18] tenju: ok so sudo grub [08:18] root (hd then tab to get possible completions [08:18] the drive you want will have ext2fs in the number use that one [08:18] lousygarua, it most certainly is not. it's killing my already dying hard drive [08:18] hey guys i am getting this error E: msttcorefonts: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 after installing ubuntu-restrict [08:18] someone help me plse [08:18] tenju: then use root (hd0, what ever number it came back with [08:18] fde: im gonna try something you've said and mess up my system.. :P kidding [08:19] tanath, so go to acccessories > indexer and shut it off [08:19] lousygarua, i tried turning off indexing for the tracker tool, and excluding the paths of that hard drive. it still does it [08:19] <3 ubu [08:19] lol [08:19] egoleo: With what? Sry, just dropped in [08:19] something bad happened while installing ubuntu-strict, maybe [08:19] tanath, how do you know it rapes your hard disk? [08:19] !language | lousygarua [08:19] lousygarua: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [08:19] timandtom: yes it will change the boot loader to grub usually, assuming you are currently running windows, you might want to have a windows cd ready you can boot to and run fdisk /mbr to restore it's bootloader should all go to pot ;) [08:19] jst keep saying they don't exist [08:19] i am using hardy [08:19] lousygarua, because i can hear and feel it, and when it does it, my system becomes nearly unusable, because the drive is dying [08:19] timandtom: and backup ;) [08:20] unop, point taken :) [08:20] tenju: what did it come back with (hd0,?) [08:20] I'm going afk for a while, but if anyone knows anything about calibrating a notebook battery in (x)ubuntu, or how to set custom DNS servers for wvdial (so that it discards the ones set by ISP in PPP negotiations), drop me a PM or something, or just keep me in mind <3 [08:20] egoleo: What exactly is ubuntu-strict ? [08:20] unop, he's using my language, and i used it for a reason [08:20] come bakc from what? [08:20] i mean ubuntu-restricted [08:20] i get that E: msttcorefonts: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [08:20] tenju: the auto complete that had ext2fs [08:21] astro76, pooey :( It's just one of those Compaq Presarios that NEVER SEEM TO INCLUDE RECOVERY DISKS. So I guess thats outta the question then. [08:21] tanath, go to accessories > system monitor and try to see if the hard disk is being used or if it's idle [08:21] tanath, well don't .. pretend you have your 8 year old neice in here watching what you type. [08:21] and then it's only your imagination [08:21] autocomplete? [08:21] unop, in 8 years from now i'm gonna marry my g/f [08:21] tenju: get to the grub prompt type root (hd0, then hit tab [08:21] beryl = compiz = ubu inside efects ? :\ [08:21] extfs 2 is 6 [08:22] Huhu [08:22] timandtom: in the past distros would typically ask to install the bootloader to the MBR, or to the partition, so if you select the partition it won't change the windows bootloader [08:22] unop: i guarantee an average 8 year old has seen far worse that the word they used already in their lifetime [08:22] 4 and 5 are unknown [08:22] timandtom: but then you need to figure out a way to boot it like a boot disk or adding to the main bootloader [08:22] lul [08:22] morela: beryl = compiz fork remerged as compiz-fusion... compiz-fusion is now just a collection of official extra plugins [08:22] FastZ, that's no excuse to carry on using profane language [08:22] egoleo: ubuntu-restricted-extras I guess you mean that. Have you tried installing it again [08:22] 211 updates @ adsl 1mb [08:22] :| [08:22] timandtom: options for trying Ubuntu without installing include the desktop cd (livecd) and wubi [08:22] yeahs [08:22] tenju: awww you are kidding, ok, next thing try grub-install /dev/hda [08:22] fde: thx u <3 [08:22] unop: not saying it is [08:22] HELLO ALL! [08:23] i have installed and after it gives me this error E: msttcorefonts: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [08:23] on hardy [08:23] lo [08:23] lousygarua, not sure where the system monitor app was, but it's not there. regardless though, i've tried using lsof when it's happening to figure out what's causing it, but lsof says nothing is using the drive. it makes no sense [08:23] egoleo: it's possible the place it downloads the fonts from is down, try later [08:23] If I type in compiz, will compiz work? [08:23] how can i get my the debian bar working? [08:23] egoleo :sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:23] astro76: Yeh, not really worth the hassle... I doubt anything out there would compare to Ubuntu 7.10 anyways, I was just curious what other distros were like :) And I don't like LiveCDs, too slow. Ah wells, I have enough stuff i need to do WITHOUT playin with distros, haha [08:23] egoleo: it downloads the fonts from one particular server, to comply with Microsoft's original license agreement [08:23] I guess there's only one way to find out! [08:23] ok [08:24] egoleo: What does it say before that? could you post the whole output to paste.ubuntu.com [08:24] morela: Used to be that they maintained separate window managers, and beryl started emerald window decorator... but now compiz is the window manager and a few core plugins and they use metacity themes by default.

[08:25] lousygarua, the only thing that works is unmounting the partitions before it happens. but if i try to unmount them while it's happening, it says the device is busy. if i use lsof to figure out what's using it, it says nothing is. makes no sense [08:25] egoleo: yep that's what happened [08:25] lousygarua, gee thanks [08:25] mine or labeled Sda [08:26] but i tried that also [08:26] brb / rr [08:26] so i have to wait [08:26] tanath, i don't know how to help you further, sorry :( [08:26] is since yesterday [08:26] tenju: then try that?

[08:28] Ah kay^^ [08:28] thanks^^ [08:28] tenju: have to boot to a live CD to do it though [08:28] zvacet: see 2 secs back [08:28] Caf-Fiend: eracc: That will remove all programs in Xubuntu *only as well*?

[08:54] wow. that's a horrible mistake. they'd better fix that. [08:54] Nuggy, but there havebeen updates... [08:54] at least for me [08:54] et = enemy territory [08:54] #ubuntu-offtopic is for offtopic chat. This is a support channel. [08:54] Ronald: probably not. I have a Geforce2 GTS. How fast is your processor? [08:54] hmm OK, thanks Swiftfoxer will check my repos etc. [08:55] geforce 2?? [08:55] wow [08:55] Nuggy: On the 5 machines I've upgraded, there's been no updates since [08:55] thinkingfrog: 10%OC athlon xp 2400. we share the fact we run on a legacy driver, if we run the binary one. [08:55] when you want to go to a folder in terminal what do you add if the folder has 2 words and you cannot add a space. would it be 20%???? [08:55] it worked nicely with counterstrike ver 1.0 :) [08:55] DJones: I haven't seen any either but nothing's really broken, so is it a problem? [08:55] i have geforce 2 8 years ago [08:55] thinkingfrog: I've got a nvidia geforce2 go in a laptop & an nvidia geforce2 in a desktop [08:55] androver, I was simply enquiring, didnt mean to suggest things were wrong [08:56] Ronald: I think i have an overclocked Thunderbird 750 to 900 [08:56] androver: I doubt it, the dev's are probably having a rest after the final rush getting hardy finished [08:56] Djones: do you run Ubuntu on it? [08:56] when you want to go to a folder in terminal what do you add if the folder has 2 words and you cannot add a space. would it be 20%???? [08:56] DJones: On them [08:56] thinkingfrog: wow :) there's actually people around with less cpu then me still [08:56] thinkingfrog: yes, on both machines, have done since dapper [08:57] Darknezz: mkdir /path/to/directory/this-is-directory/ [08:57] Ronald: I had a MacBook Pro, I sold it [08:57] Darknezz: that always works. [08:57] Why sold [08:57] DJones: How is the 2d performance? [08:57] thinkingfrog: wow, you don\t hear that story much [08:57] Darknezz :do you have folder with 2 words nameand space between words? [08:57] did ubuntu 8.04 uses different path for trash can? [08:57] zvacet: yes [08:58] Ronald: true, but I figured, for what I do word processing, web browsing and stuff, a 900mhz cpu should be sufficient [08:58] Darknezz : then "2 words" [08:58] kelvin911: I believe so [08:58] hey, newfag here where is hardware information, i cant find it in system ----> preferences [08:58] J-_: i already have the dir i just need to get into the file with terminal [08:58] zvacet: with space?? [08:58] Darknezz: Also inverted slashes as well may work. this\ directory for an example [08:58] Matic`Makovec: I didn't need it [08:58] Darkness if you have a folder called "This Folder" you can cd into it by using This\ Folder [08:59] thinkingfrog: i don't have any problems, nvidia-glx legacy driver works great, the laptop is 32mb video ram, so although full desktop effects/awn etc run, i do get the black screen syndrome, on the desktopp with 64mb of video ram, 2d & 3d/desktop effects all works great [08:59] I'll probably buy another laptop later...something cheap [08:59] zvacet: like i have wine installed and i need to get into program files [08:59] How to do you ignore joins and quits with xchat?

[09:00] zvacet: so if its program files it should be "programfiles"? [09:00] Darknezz: if you have a folder called "This Folder" you can cd into it by using This\ Folder === Pupeno-G_ is now known as Pupeno-M [09:01] thinkingfrog: yes, i used restricted drivers, and worked ok, although I had to modify xorg.conf to get it working properly [09:01] hi i have a problemm i am not able to play any song after i upgraded to lts my all player just freeg after few second but i can play songs and movie online [09:01] can anybudy help [09:01] DJones: maybe there's still hope for this system yet, then...

[09:02] I wonder how I could check the version of the driver I'm using [09:02] thinkingfrog: i thought about upgrading the video card in the desktop, but it does everything i need, i can play things like nexuiz etc on both machines at a decent rate [09:02] hi. when i try to install a program, it says "libaudio2 is not installable"... how can i install that libaudio2 package or the program i want to install?

[09:04] Darknezz, it is case sensitive, Program Files are likely capitalized [09:04] zvacet: ya thats what i typed [09:04] Darknezz, you forgot the space after the \ [09:04] o [09:04] Darknezz: Also tab-complete directories it helps. [09:05] zvacet: got it [09:05] zvacet: thanks :) [09:05] thinkingfrog: have a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, that should have a device section with a line Driver "nv" or "nvidia", nv is the generic driver that doesn't do 3d, if you've got nvidia, you should be able to get 3d etc [09:05] !tab [09:05] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [09:05] so, firefox and evolution mail always loads with me stuck in offline mode. can I somehow stop this crap? [09:05] Darknezz : np [09:05] Darknezz: also tab completion helps, if you typed up to Progra then pressed it would complete th erest [09:05] DJones: I can get the system to boot with the nvidia driver in xorg.conf, but, it performs slower than with the nv driver [09:05] ariqs: how do you connect to the internet? [09:06] o cool [09:06] mrtti wvdial [09:06] DJones: 2d performance... [09:06] myrtti also [09:06] zvacet: dident know that. thanks :D [09:06] heh [09:06] ariqs: that's because wvdial doesn't report the connection status to avahi [09:06] ariqs: hold on [09:06] Darknezz: tab completion works for lots of stuff, files, commands, options to commands, press it twice to see all options if nothing comes up the first time [09:06] why ubuntu 8.04 changes the trash can path?

[09:11] myrtti: It works fine with wvdial [09:11] thinkingfrog: again no problems, I'd say it was just configuration/driver problems but maybe there is a fault [09:12] i'm just stuck in offline mode with wvdial. I was just explaining why I was stuck using it [09:12] DJones: well, now that the nvidia driver actually works...I suppose it's safe to assume it's configuration... [09:12] kelvin911: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=718704 4th post down is an explanation of why its moved [09:12] kelvin911: probably standardization (as in freedesktop.org ) [09:12] ariqs: oh, yeah, well, networkmanager imo doesn't handle dialup yet well [09:12] kelvin911: hah I was right ;) [09:12] DJones: I'll probably remove Envy and see what that does as my next troubleshooting tip, thanks for the help [09:13] thinkingfrog: no probs [09:13] myrtti: i suspect it never will work well. that was a problem I had a long time ago with it ;P [09:13] ariqs: are you using mobile phone? [09:13] no [09:13] ariqs: if you had been, I would've coaxed you to help a friend of mine http://www.kaijanmaki.net/blog/ ;-) [09:14] Has anyone in here worked with the ATI catalyst control center to get 2 monitors to work? [09:14] Myrtti: so there is no way to just stick it perm in online mode? I don't even care about offline mode [09:14] hi there i am trying to build some pc's for the local blind comunity and was woundeing if there is a program that will turn speach to text or actions on ubuntu [09:14] ariqs: there is, hold on [09:15] what is CSU Fullerton?

We have no idea, it's not something we have control over or knowledge about. [09:23] thanks myrtti, I guess i'll just have to deal with it [09:24] hi all. anyone had a success install of openlaszlo? im using hardy, and followed this http://wiki.openlaszlo.org/How_To:_Install_on_Linux but I can't sort out the $JAVA_HOME.. [09:24] Flannel: i was wondering if i put in the right command. its not working for some odd reason [09:24] Qnuffy: Sessions is located in System > Preferences. [09:24] what is the file i need to download for flash to work with firefox again? [09:24] Darknezz: Like I said, none of us have any knowledge of steam, let alone its inner workings. [09:24] vallhalla81 there have been distros for the blind, but they weren't supported and ceased. [09:25] Flannel: ok thanks :) [09:25] vallhalla81 i wish it were different. [09:25] I installed Hamachi, but i can't somehow join with networks without passwords [09:25] Darknezz: If you're using wine, look at the appdb on their site. [09:25] mh [09:25] what is the standard path for trash??? [09:26] J-_: thanks i will take a look [09:26] what is the file i need to download for flash to work with firefox again? [09:26] kelvin911: $ find ~/ -type d -name "*Trash*" [09:26] Darknezz: That'll give you a guide to follow for steam. [09:26] Hi! After upgrading to 8.04 from 7.10, the sound doesn't work correctly. What should I do? [09:26] kelvin911: umm, ~/.local/share/Trash/ is now a standard [09:26] i find mine but usually what is the standard path for all linux distro? [09:26] kelvin911: there never was a standard until now, that is why it was changed [09:26] why mine is /home/kelvin/.local/share/Trash/files/ ??? [09:26] Any suggestions on what to use to virtually emulate different operating systems? [09:27] kelvin911: it differs from distro to distro [09:27] kelvin911: and it's more about GNOME vs KDE vs whatever than distros [09:27] Matic`Makovec: Virtualbox [09:27] !virtualbox [09:27] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [09:27] kelvin911: though of course distros can change it too [09:27] what about trash can in partition? [09:27] kelvin911: trash dir is not part of a standard linux system. you only have such thing if you use a desktop environment like gnome or kde. [09:27] still /.Trash?? [09:28] kelvin911: are you reading us or ignoring us? [09:28] or just not comprehending? [09:28] i mean trash in other partition [09:28] mojo: hello ... [09:28] kelvin911: if you delete some file using rm on the shell, it will not go to any trash dir [09:28] what does this error mean: Reading package lists... Error! [09:28] E: Unable to write mmap - msync (28 No space left on device) [09:28] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [09:28] Thank you, J-_ [09:28] i have /.Trash-kelvin in all other partition [09:28] hi [09:28] no change at all @ j-_ [09:28] kelvin911: oh hmm [09:28] does anyone know how i display ram speed and latency settings? [09:29] Hi! After upgrading to 8.04 from 7.10, the sound doesn't work correctly. What should I do? [09:29] hi everybody [09:29] kelvin911: probably changed too [09:29] i usually being lazy and dont use terminal to delete files [09:29] cgentry72: how much free space do you have on your / [09:29] Myrtti, i'll check [09:30] kelvin911: you just should keep in mind that the whole trashbin concept is a GUI only thing [09:30] kelvin911: so don't rely on it in every situation [09:30] is there a way to clean the trash in other partition other than goto /.Trash-kelvin to delete them manually? [09:30] Myrtti, thats nice.. it says 0 (what? ok let me do some cleaning) [09:30] Qnuffy: Sorry? It should have changed. In sessions, press add. A window pops up, Name = "emerald --replace" command = emerald --replace" [09:30] POVaddct: hmm, your nick is not so appropriate for this "family friendly channel" ;-) (personal opinion ;-) [09:30] cgentry72: sudo aptitude clean [09:30] is it possible to display ram speed and latency settings in ubuntu? [09:30] if i rm a file how to undelete? [09:31] kelvin911: you don't [09:31] you mean in the login window? [09:31] or its gone forever? [09:31] who i can select sessions? [09:31] Myrtti, when i type that i get the same error message [09:31] Qnuffy: No [09:31] sj3682_: it means addicted to persistence of vision raytracer. has _nothing_ to do with porn. [09:31] cgentry72: /var/cache/apt [09:31] sj3682_: i keep that nick for over 10 years [09:31] Myrtti, ok [09:31] J-_, should the installation be mainly the same in Hardy? [09:31] Qnuffy: press alt+f1. Those menus there. [09:31] POVaddct: ok, sorry then [09:31] so how does rm works? [09:31] kelvin911: deletes right away [09:31] kelvin911: i just removes the file [09:32] Matic`Makovec: Some things may have changed. I don't know. I guess it depends. [09:32] i know in dos they change the file name with $infront [09:32] Yeah but whats should i change there? [09:32] or & in front so u can undelete [09:32] Myrtti, what am i doing in that directory [09:32] that's dos [09:32] in unix how does rm file works? [09:32] Qnuffy: Go to System > Preferences > Sessions [09:32] cgentry72: how much stuff do you have there? [09:32] kelvin911: it deletes the file [09:32] rm = remove/delete [09:33] you probably want something more in depth [09:33] write over the memory allocation with "0" ? [09:33] kelvin911: no undelete possible, it is a mulituser system. so you cannot guarantee the freed space not being taken for some other file in the next moment [09:33] kelvin911: no it just marks the block as available [09:33] or change the list in directory? [09:33] Myrtti, two .bin files and archive [09:33] is there a way of displaying ram speed and latency settings? [09:33] kelvin911: there are ways to undelete [09:33] mark as available? [09:33] so u can undelete? [09:33] Qnuffy: Did you find it? [09:33] how to undelete? [09:33] kelvin911: no [09:33] i think in german it is Systemeinstellungen > Benutzerverwaltung [09:34] cgentry72: du -sh /var/cache/apt/ [09:34] its very difficult to find english preferences in an german version :D [09:34] but i think it is [09:34] Qnuffy: I don't know. I'm not German. [09:34] kelvin911: depends on what FS you're using [09:34] ext3 [09:34] Myrtti, 987mb [09:34] what should i change there? [09:34] kelvin911: undeleting is difficult, but not impossible. [09:34] kelvin911: i think it's possible...google [09:34] cgentry72: delete the files then [09:34] kelvin911: undelete is not possible in every case because you cannot tell if some other process will use the freed space right after deletion [09:34] is there a way of displaying ram speed and settings somehow? [09:34] Myrtti, ok [09:34] !german | Qnuffy [09:34] Qnuffy: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [09:35] what if i delete the file in other parition [09:35] mh wow [09:35] no process will right to NTFS [09:35] Is there a quick and dirty open office base tutorial that is intuitive? [09:35] i dont know there was an german service [09:35] ^^ [09:35] lets say i delete a file in NTFS on other partition, how to undelete? [09:35] kelvin911: Yes, writing to NTFS is possible [09:35] How do I exit this screen magnification on Hardy? [09:35] Qnuffy: =) [09:36] kelvin911: it's not linux's task to undelete files on filesystems it barely knows [09:36] My global keyboard shortcuts stopped working for my music player (mpd+Sonata) after upgrading to Hardy. It works in other applications. Can anyone help? [09:36] kelvin911: ntfs is not a native linux filesystem and M$ does not document it [09:36] what about i delete a file in ext3 on other partition that is for backup purposes? [09:37] how to undelete that file? [09:37] kelvin911: you can't. keep backups [09:37] kelvin911: Its difficult and not fun. [09:37] kelvin911: backups are mandatory anyway [09:37] how do i display ram speed and settings? [09:37] i dont do backup [09:37] kelvin911: you fault [09:37] how to backup my stuffs? [09:37] !backup [09:37] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [09:38] and the whole system to other ext3 partition? [09:38] how can you extract a .pkg file? [09:38] Myrtti, sorry but isnt the command to delete del? [09:38] Darknezz: .pkg from what program? [09:39] mr_boo: sudo dmidecode [09:39] Darknezz: its probably a zip file with a renamed extension, check that out. [09:39] androver: thanks [09:39] x1250: yes or command in terminal [09:39] cgentry72, its rm [09:39] x1250: i tried archive manager [09:40] x1250: but nothin [09:40] Darknezz: from the command they gave you, it should be .tar.gz, but it's not working so who knows [09:41] arvind_khadri, how do u delete a directory then :( [09:41] arvind_khadri: rm -r [09:41] cgentry72, rm -rf /path/to/directory [09:41] arvind_khadri, got it [09:42] -r and -R are different no? I thought rm -R was the right command? [09:42] rmdir works too [09:42] Gnine: rmdir works only on empty dirs [09:42] J-_: no, theyre the same in this case (a lot of times theyre not) [09:42] Gnine, man pages will help you :) [09:42] Flannel: K, cool. =) [09:42] rmdir works too [09:42] Gnine: again, rmdir works only on empty dirs [09:43] so? [09:43] Gnine: i understand the directory wasn't empty [09:43] alright then.. dont use rmdir.. happy? [09:44] hghft [09:44] Gnine: yes [09:44] My global keyboard shortcuts stopped working for my music player (mpd+Sonata) after upgrading to Hardy. It works in other applications. Can anyone help?

[09:47] den i order free cd [09:47] but its 10 weeks over [09:47] immaculate: I downloaded the latest version of ubuntu on dialup! [09:47] !shipit | IMMACULATE [09:47] IMMACULATE: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Hardy (8.04) CDs [09:48] Could anyone tell me what the best way is to make Ubuntu do something daily, and how (e.g. an rsync command)? [09:48] arvind_khadri, do you know what i need to download to get flash to work in firefox [09:48] can some 1 tell me can i get the cd or not? [09:48] hi, I installed vista and it overwritten grub so I restored it using the tutorial and now vista doesn't boot.. I bet the menu.lst entry is not correct but I don't know what should be there. I had dualbooting with XP and I installed vista instead of XP so it should work the way it was. Can anyone help me to get dualbooting going? [09:48] i just got my cds I asked for a long time ago, that are now outdated :P funny ;P [09:48] IMMACULATE, it may take more time [09:48] kane77:wait a moment [09:48] IMMACULATE, contact local LUG [09:48] IMMACULATE: normally when i order from shipit the cd's come through in 2-3 weeks at most [09:48] * kane77 waits [09:49] If I connect my iPod, will it be handled like a "harddrive" in ubuntu? [09:49] cgentry72, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [09:49] arvind_khadri, thank you very much [09:49] cgentry72, welcome :) [09:49] hmm ok [09:49] I've never ordered from shipit. Waste of cash for them because I can download easily. [09:49] POVaddct: I understand rmmod is being deprecated. Use modprobe -r [09:49] trebaruna: in this case it is just a single module [09:50] J-_: Pretty much do the same, although when i do order, i end up giving them to people to test out [09:50] contact local LUG ...what is LUG [09:50] ? [09:50] kane77: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9154/ [09:50] ?? [09:50] DJones: pfft, just burn them =) [09:50] trebaruna: modprobe -r removes the modules that were loaded as dependencies as well [09:50] IMMACULATE, LUG means linux user group [09:50] kane77: copypaste that in there [09:50] IMMACULATE, check them out in launchpad [09:50] exept numbers [09:51] oh ok [09:51] thanx [09:51] Hi I've installed Ubuntu 8.04 and it works fine except when I enable the Nvidia driver (for my Nvidia Geforce 7200), it then won't boot. Is there any way to roll back this so I can boot and is there another driver which would allow my graphics card to work? [09:51] IMMACULATE: http://www.linux.org/groups/bangladesh.html [09:51] what was the command to open menu.lst with infinite power of modifying [09:51] okk [09:51] manifest_, but I'm not quite sure what number to put to root for vista... [09:51] Huh, okay. Some small howtos I've seen indicate a preference of modprobe -r over rmmod for removing the pcspkr module. Not that I'm that knowledgeable... === acakds is now known as caleb-yau [09:51] are u Bangladeshi? [09:52] IMMACULATE: No, Canadian. [09:52] ok [09:52] :) [09:52] J-_: looks better having a printed cd & packaging when i give them to clients, otherwise i would, saying that i give burned copies out as well [09:52] immaculate: If you have that much trouble just getting the cd, I suggest you don't try to install it ;P Despite what people here say, it's much more difficult than windows to get working [09:52] DJones: True. =) [09:52] yo caleb-yau [09:53] Does anyone know, will my iPod be handled like a harddrive (USB-memory) when connected to my computer? [09:53] kane77: what harddrive part your vista is on [09:53] caleb-yau [09:53] caleb-yau [09:53] caleb-yau [09:53] xintron: it will be, but you can't transfer music to it in disk mode. [09:53] it's shag [09:53] xintron it can, but not like you hope [09:53] yo gin-san [09:53] !ipod | xintron [09:53] xintron: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [09:53] manifest_, /dev/sda1 [09:53] hmm [09:53] * N3bunel saluta [09:53] BadSneakers: I don't want to transfer music to it, just use it as a harddrive [09:53] -zb.. [09:53] what's that [09:54] xintron other players do, but not ipod [09:54] ariqs, help if you can or else we always have the door open [09:54] xintron: then you're golden [09:54] BadSneakers: Not even when installing rockbox? [09:54] Oh my, FloodBot2. I f33r your l33t muscl3s. [09:54] manifest_, I have 2 disks one ata that is /dev/hda and one sata that is /dev/sda [09:54] xintron sandisk for example works perfectly as a drive. [09:54] But if I want to transfer music then, do I have to remove what's on my iPod first? [09:54] xintron: nope, completely separate [09:54] I did help him, arvind :P he was jumping into more than he could handle judging from his difficulty just getting the cd [09:55] androver: what? [09:55] help [09:55] androver: Do I have to format it under linux? [09:55] its in the sda probablt is you said it [09:55] just try to reboot with that [09:55] xintron: no, fat32 is good. you can store music on it using the music database and store files in the filesystem [09:55] hi 2 all [09:55] ariqs, lots of people face that why dont you ship it to his place for free :P [09:56] J-_ not what he was asking I don't think. I got the idea he wanted an mp3 player when plugged up to be seen as just another flash drive, and it'd have to conform to mass storage specs for that to happen, and Ipod don't and sandisk do. [09:56] if you try to go to vista it just gives an error and you reboot in that case, chance HD (0,1) [09:56] androver: So then I would just run Amarok and transfer as usual? [09:56] xintron: yeah [09:56] arvind_khandri: I downloaded the iso on dialup with the release server going down on me constantly! Surely he could handle that :P [09:56] no wait, (hd0,1) [09:56] and when using a windows computer with iTunes or winamp it will not be any problem? [09:57] androver: Do you knwo if playlistfolders can be created with amarok? [09:57] ariqs, great [09:57] BadSneakers: I figured since Rockbox is Open Source, and more than an MP3 player. I thought it would be able to be used as a mass storage device as well. [09:57] arvind: and that wasn't even the hard part. The hard part was getting my modem working, downloading drivers I had to compile without any prior knowledge about what I was doing [09:57] xintron: yes, amarok does that [09:57] k, then I'll just install ubuntu on my familys pc :D [09:58] and then on myu laptop (for the third time :/ ) [09:58] J-_ mass storage compiant devices are detected and usable immediately without any software. [09:58] But installing rockbox will void the iPod warranty and change firmware.

[10:01] hola [10:01] achilles:: had to do this last night [10:01] Hello guys. Can somebody please help me with an issue regarding the loading / unloading of a module? All started after I upgraded my Ubuntu from 7.10 to 8.04 and reinstalled ndiswrapper. After rebooting the machine, my wired ethernet card (BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX, rev.02) wasn`t working anymore. It seems that the appropriate module (b44) it is not loading at boot time. I added it to /ect/modules, maked sure it isn`t blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and ev [10:01] en tried loading it via rc.local (added modpobe b44 to the script). No success so far.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:02] arvind_khadri:: (mine is resolved though) [10:02] arvind_khadri, no.. thats what i am saying, it doesn't do the same thing .. dpkg-reconfigure runs the postinst script for each package named (or all if -a), apt-get install -f attempts to complete any postinsts that were deferred, the results can be very different [10:02] is there a ubuntu linux manual to purchase anwhere?

[10:12] ikonia: nothing happened in the window when the card was removed and inserted. [10:12] androver: yes. I`m actually using it right now, with my wifi card. I want to try the new fwcutter module, but I can`t make ndiswrapper not load at boot :( [10:12] bullgard4: I'd have to read the docs on that, but I imagine it changes clock source for you to scale things down [10:12] ikonia: There were 3.

[10:13] ikonia: I will consult the kernel documentation. [10:13] search as you type in nautilus is not working [10:13] how to make it work again? [10:13] to everyone using Xgl.. stop it :) I just moved away from Xgl and things are sooo much better [10:13] i installed metasploit framework 3 into fedora 8 64 bits. how can i get db_autopwn with it? [10:14] PaRaSiTe2: ok, well the modem support "should" work asssuming it is a native kernel driver, 64bit OS's can run 32bit software, but its quite a lot of effort to setup, and formating the partition, thats fine [10:14] [10:14] linux_user400354: sorry, we don't support fedora herer [10:14] linux_user400354: try #fedora [10:14] ikonia: I think the card reader is still unsupported.

Although I design software in .NET 05 I actually hate using windows now. so it took me a few xorg.conf tweaks to get dual screens working with my unsupported monitors but i'm certainly joining the revolution. only issue now is i've upgraded from 7.0 t [10:21] o 8.04 ever since (and only since 8.04 upgrade) my wireless signal comes and goes. especially when crunching alot of data i.e getting emails etc. basically i'm not sure how to tackle it. i've scoured forums and heard boradcoms cause these issues. is there a simple command to return the make? i tried one cant remember what its called now, but it said i may have any readable memory on the card. can anyone suggest a way that i can find out the [10:21] firmware? [10:21] so irc.otfc.org? [10:21] sree: I wouldn't advice it [10:22] Slixxor: 7.0 what? [10:22] sorry for double post :) [10:22] sisif: what's the problem?

[10:23] lousygarua: yes. [10:23] CaptainMorgan: try it and see [10:23] sisif, i did it too and it made me too much trouble with my nvidia [10:23] DE is not actually in .pdf form.. thus making it sort of piped through the online system... but reader is versatile [10:23] sisif, so i back upped my /home to another partition [10:23] and then reinstall ubuntu from the live cd [10:24] im using a 17" widescreen monitor and ubuntu gutsy just squares it. i didnt get the native resolution (1440x900).

I don`t thing it has anything to do with ndiswrapper. [10:25] how do I change the screen resolution for the login screen? [10:25] well guys i'm very impressed. i think the root cause may be (speculating) when i installed inotekk virtual box so i could still design my windows apps in XP and the software seems fine but i think i may have caused an error as it refers to installing its own kernel. confusion begins between seperating an application kernel and the big chief. [10:25] sree, search for a package called "indel x module" or smt similar [10:25] yes doesn't change any thing, it just happens randomly, but now more frequently [10:25] I've got no external blue tooth devices... at all.... but this laptop is supposed to have bluetooth.

It seems to work, but whenever I try to use it I hear silence. Straight ALSA works. Pulse was working a few minutes ago, and then it wasn't. I installed padevchooser but that's not helping. [10:31] VT you can type "lou" and press tab to write my name [10:31] Kate5482: In a terminal type in wget http://www.website.com/path/to/file.png That would download file.png to your home directory. [10:31] Ok, it seems dapper's xine can't play flacs. [10:32] Pupeno-G: try installing libflac0 or similarly named. [10:32] Peddy, dpkg -l xgl? [10:32] I've got no external blue tooth devices... at all.... but this laptop is supposed to have bluetooth. Anyway, I am just curious to know if my bluetooth is supported under Ubuntu - Is there any way at all I can test if bluetooth functionality is working in Ubuntu with just the laptop alone and no other bluetooth devices? [10:32] Everytime i plug my usb stick, xubuntu opens up 3 thunar windows, what could be causing this? [10:32] CorpseFeeder, yes bluetooth should work. Have you tried under Windows? [10:32] !patience | VT [10:32] VT: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:32] tobago, I don't think there is an xgl package as such [10:32] how do i set nautilus to defaults? [10:33] question.... is it possible to inflate a tar.bz2 file via ftp using terminal? [10:33] fudus9, if you go into any window and go to edit then preferences you'll find a set of preferences there.

Or name one of them [10:35] hultis: fuse? [10:35] i believe i used one called something-ntfs or ntfs-something, but if fuse is easy to use i can try it [10:35] hultis: ntfs-3g [10:36] hultis: POVaddct has it [10:36] yes, thats the one [10:36] ArtVanda1ae: yes, I expect everything would have worked under windows with the correct drivers - it would be naive to assume a laptop vendor would issue a laptop to the public with bluetooth and no support for it under the preinstalled OS. What I was asking was is there anyway I could check if it was working under Ubuntu taking into account that I have no other bluetooth devices to test with it... like some sort of hardwar [10:36] hultis: but i don't use it since i have no windows at all [10:36] im using a 17" widescreen monitor and ubuntu gutsy just squares it. i didnt get the native resolution (1440x900). How can i get it [10:37] lousygarua: I get the widescreen when im using the command "xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900@60" [10:37] I get the widescreen when im using the command "xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900@60" [10:37] POVaddct: i cant install it on a livecd though, is there any program that is originally on the livecd that i can use? [10:37] jesus [10:37] hultis: ntfs-3g is on the live cd i think === slackd0Od is now known as slackd00d [10:38] POVaddct: if it is there is no manual for it... the livecd is version 7.04 so quite outdated [10:39] hi was doing a dist-upgrade to hardy. and now the my home (on a different partition) can't be found when logging in: $HOME/.dmrc no permissions. then i startet with live cd and set 755 to media/disk-1 (the home). i also set 755 to media/disk-1/christian. and i did a sudo chown 1000:1000 ...media/disk-1/christian/.dmrc (1000 == christian in fstab). but all doesn't help. [10:39] ok, pulseaudio seems to have no output devices/sinks. How'd that happen? [10:39] hultis: okay, it's on the live cd since 7.10, so 7.04 does not have it [10:40] POVaddct: dam it :/ [10:40] does wget command have some problem getting links including "&" char ? [10:41] please help me with kaffeine dvb-t [10:41] Kate5482: it's not wget, the shell is interpreting the & === stephane is now known as Staiff [10:42] Kate5482: you have to quote the URL if you don't want the shell interpreting the & char [10:42] Hi all [10:42] Kate5482: like this: wget "http://bla.com/this&and&that" [10:43] So I have a 1680x1050 monitor, which was working fine on 7.10, but I just upgraded and now the highest resolution available is 1280x800. Any suggestions? [10:43] My entire computer lags out something chronic whenever a large terminal updates. I can' tsee any memory issues, at least, not in top. Can anyone think of anyhing that could cause it? [10:43] Zoidfarb: what type of vid card [10:43] how do i restore the public folder after it has been deleted so i can make accesable through bluetooth? Or how do i configure the bluetooth settings so i can set a custom folder? [10:43] Apologies for typos, but it's currently hapepning, so I only get to see what I've typed evrey few seconds [10:43] slackd00d, an older ATI one, Radeon 9500, maybe? [10:44] POVaddct: thanks its working :) by the way does it possible to download the file into new filename ? [10:44] would lspci tell me? [10:44] Kate5482: yes: wget -O newname "URL" [10:44] morning; error 25 (Disk read error) after fresh install, what can I check? [10:44] I'm running the ATI proprietary driver fxlgr driver, would I have better luck with the open source driver? [10:44] Kate5482: that's capital oh, not zero [10:44] POVaddct: i also use the option --referer , so the -O should come before ? === Scrounch__ is now known as Scrounch [10:45] hi, im installing trying to install xubuntu 8.04 and it goes to a "busy box" screen after choosing to install. md5sum check pass perfectly. any idea what could be wrong? [10:45] Kate5482: as long as you put the options before the URL it [10:45] Zoidfarb: regenerate xorg.conf and start with a clean one, and add your video card driver in the device section. Test, and if it doesn't go well, and your monitor horizontal and vertical resfresh rates. And if it doesn't work, then add manually some correct resolutions. [10:45] Kate5482: as long as you put the options before the URL it's okay [10:45] It also happens if the terminal is minimised [10:45] >< [10:46] POVaddct: thanks for your help :) [10:46] So, anyone here has any experience with module issues (and probably ndiswrapper) ? If so, please let me know ! [10:46] x1250, thanks. I've already regenerated a clean xorg, and I think the video card driver is correct. I'll try adding resolutions manually. [10:46] Kate5482: let me guess, you are grabbing some images from a web page :) [10:46] Zoidfarb: try adding your monitor refresh rates before you try resolutions [10:46] any idea why "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" doesn't let you do anything with resolutions anymore? [10:47] POVaddct: :) someting like this .. [10:48] will DVD Decrypter work under ubuntu/wine please? [10:48] sw54_: yes [10:48] thx! [10:48] Zoidfarb: manually adding resolutions should be a last resort. Try your monitor refresh rates firts. [10:48] So will DVD Shrink [10:48] Is there any way to move my Ubuntu stuff to the second partition in my hard drive along with all my files using Gnome Partition Manager? Do I just rename it? [10:48] k, one sec [10:48] hi was doing a dist-upgrade to hardy. and now the my home (on a different partition) can't be found when logging in: $HOME/.dmrc no permissions. then i startet with live cd and set 755 to media/disk-1 (the home). i also set 755 to media/disk-1/christian. and i did a sudo chown 1000:1000 ...media/disk-1/christian/.dmrc (1000 == christian in fstab). but all doesn't help. [10:49] CorpseFeeder: apologies, I had a phone call that distracted me [10:49] whoa, x1250, is xorg.conf handled a lot differently in the new version? There's hardly anything in there! [10:49] Zoidfarb: since 7.2 xorg has been dynamic [10:49] Zoidfarb: as it progresses it needs less in the config file (normally) [10:50] Ellowa! [10:50] virtualbox killed my sound, I deinstalled it, still no sound, how do I reinstall the original kernel with it's moduls? [10:50] Zoidfarb: yes. Try adding the Driver "something" in Device section. Restart X. If it doesn't work, try adding your monitor refresh rates. Restart X. If it doesn't work, try adding resolutions. If it doesn't work, uhm, try google. [10:51] hi i just wanna know which is best vmware or virtualbox to use when i wanna have a virtual os [10:51] How do i determine what driver my display is currently using? [10:51] titon_, define "best" [10:51] fast [10:51] titon_, virtualbox is free (as in freedom) === EssePL is now known as Esse [10:51] They're both pretty fast. I'd have to say VMWare is probably faster [10:51] well they say vmware u can get a free key but some say that free version is slow [10:52] titon_ i also use free vmware server, works nice and fast! [10:53] i upgraded my xubuntu to hardy heron and my vmware server well disappered hehe so i figured maybe good time to try virtual box......heard i can just convert the images i had from vmware to work on virtualbox [10:53] using top I can see that this process called 'evolution-data-server-2.22' is using like 98% of my CPU.. whats that process? [10:53] i have no experience with virtualbox, is it the same like vmware? [10:53] mcazemier, it's pretty similar. [10:53] supposed to be [10:54] hello guys [10:54] ello! [10:54] where can i get more boot screen images to download [10:54] thanks x1250, going to try stuff now [10:54] later [10:54] Do you also use ubuntu server? [10:54] or splashscreen [10:54] bah i guess i'll try it hehe [10:54] thx [10:54] How do I disable ipv6 on 8.04? [10:54] Hello. Ive some Questions, please PM Me [10:54] nicholas: just ask in the channel [10:54] nicholas: we'll respond [10:54] Questions about Shellscripting [10:54] I have no experience with ubuntu server, we mostly use centos server, its pretty stable! [10:54] nicholas: you may want to join #bash [10:54] nicholas: go on [10:55] ah thanks :-) [10:55] I've disabled it in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, but the ipv6 module is still loading [10:55] and any better 3D games for ubuntu hardy? [10:55] egoleo: ubuntu only supplies the ones in the repo [10:55] egoleo: nexuiz ? [10:56] !games | egoleo [10:56] egoleo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [10:56] why can it be that when I add a few commands to /etc/init.d/rc.local they run fine on system boot up, but when I put them in a separate script and update runlevels with sysv-rc.d-thingy, none of these commands from my script work? [10:56] sw54_: rc.local is basiclly a script, the run level scripts call functions from a sourced file [10:56] but can i install DOOM3 [10:56] sw54_: some of your scripting may conflict [10:56] egoleo: doom3 has a linux port [10:56] so where do i get that plse [10:56] any link [10:57] egoleo: you have to buy the game [10:57] egoleo: it's on the doom3 cd [10:57] hmm [10:57] ikonia so I probably need to look at the log file? [10:57] oh no [10:57] egoleo: theres a linux installer. Run it, and then you'll have to copy some files from de dvd installer into a given directory. Search google. === DeadLock is now known as RaceCondition [10:57] sw54_: doubtful, you may want to try exectuing the run scripts manually for debugging [10:57] how do i do that [10:57] since i dont have the cd [10:58] egoleo: you have to buy the game [10:58] egoleo: it's not open source [10:58] same with ut2004 [10:58] ok [10:58] egoleo: you'll also need the activation code, hence why you'll need to buy it [10:58] ikonia I did that, they work without a glitch [10:58] sw54_: now that is very odd [10:58] sw54_: what sort of thing are you doing ? [10:58] then i dont need it then [10:58] yup; in /etc/init.d/rc.local they do work fine [10:58] egoleo: try nexuiz, very good game, and opensource: http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ [10:59] but not from a separate script after updating with update-rc.d [10:59] sw54_: but what happens when you put the changes into say /etc/init.d/mysql-server then run /etc/init.d/mysql-start start manually [10:59] egoleo: its on the repos too. try $ sudo aptitude install nexuiz [10:59] ikonia do you mean I add my stuff to some existing init.d script? [10:59] sw54_: thats what your trying to do isn't it ? [11:00] ikonia sort of, I just do it from a new file to avoid mix ups [11:00] Hey there, I was wondering what package would need to be installed to install the full sources for the currently running (Stock ubuntu) kernel [11:00] namely I configure an l2tp tunnel then restart a couple of daemons [11:00] sw54_: apologies I'm not quite getting the problem. rc.local is run at boot - update-rc doesn't update any scripts, just the run levels things are launched [11:01] BelialMkII: $ aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` [11:01] with sudo... [11:01] BelialMkII, kernel-headers generic iirc [11:01] BelialMkII: just linux-source package [11:01] is it in the reok install it but i hope i dont need any keys [11:01] is full game right [11:01] ahh linux source would be what im after, the headers isnt enough :) [11:01] thanks [11:01] hey anyone, which is better, firestarter, or fwbuilder [11:02] dubby: it's a personal preference thing, try them, see which you get on with [11:02] so, by adding the refresh rates, there's now a whole bunch more resolutions available [11:02] and it looks better, but I'm still missing 1680x1050 [11:02] right now it's set to 1400x1050 [11:02] ikonia sorry for not being clear; what I'm trying to do is execute my own commands during system boot; when I add commands to /etc/init.d/rc.local they work fine; but as soon as I make a new script file in /etc/init.d/, put the same commands into this file, then use update-rc this_file defaults, nothing works. Running this_file manually works just fine though [11:02] ikonia : I have tried fwbuilder and never had success with it, I need an example of a completed fwbuilder for iptables because I must be doing something wrong, it never works [11:02] and 1600x1200 is the only larger choice [11:03] Zoidfarb: are you using your video card driver? [11:03] and i am unable to find one after extensive googleing [11:03] Can someone tell me what transmission is like before I reinstall ubuntu? [11:03] x1250, I think so. I enabled the "restricted driver" using the GUI tool [11:03] Ok, Zoidfarb, what video card? [11:03] ati, nvidia? [11:03] can I upgrade to kde4 if I am on feisty? [11:03] sw54_, perhaps the script is failing when called by init - what does the script do exactly? [11:04] sw54_: I think you should actually use rc.local for this, thats it's purpose [11:04] hey guys, when i change the user-agent in epiphany, it always changes back - know a way to change it permanently [11:04] Can someone tell me what transmission is like before I reinstall ubuntu? [11:04] x1250: he uses ati [11:04] slackd00d: thanks :) [11:04] i asked earlier [11:04] = ) [11:05] Zoidfarb: see if you got some: Driver "fglrx" line in xorg.conf. Also see if you got xorg-driver-fglrx installed... [11:05] unop it establishes an l2tp tunnel, restarts amule-daemon and fixes a routing rule [11:05] sw54_, does your script file/s have the following on the first line?: #! /bin/sh [11:05] ikonia thank you, I'll stick to this then [11:05] DistroJockey of course [11:06] sw54_, good :) [11:06] so whos all here I know [11:06] can someone upload an example of a completed iptables fwbuilder file .fwb [11:06] sw54_: I appricaite the problem your having now, however I would stick it in rc.local as that is the perfect use for it [11:06] Can someone tell me what transmission is like before I reinstall ubuntu? [11:06] ok, hang on [11:06] after extensive googling I have not been able to find one [11:06] ikonia cool, thank you [11:06] dubby: join the fwbuilder mailing list [11:06] sw54_, are you using any bash specific syntax ? because when you use #!/bin/sh bash works a little differently, perhaps that might be causing problems [11:07] smmagic: transmission is a nice and simple bittorrent client. does that answer your question? [11:07] x1250, I do have fglrx in my xorg.conf file [11:07] magnetron, Does it support encryption? [11:07] smmagic: Azureus is better :) [11:07] Bah, sorry [11:07] I'm going to try aticonfig [11:07] unop I'm pretty new to linux altogether, but I don't think I'm using anything out of the ordinary; all the lines I'm running look like [11:07] smmagic: no. maybe deluge is what you're looking for [11:08] deluge? [11:08] unop no if... and stuff [11:08] !deluge > smmagic (see private message from bot) [11:08] looks nice actually [11:08] Zoidfarb hes asking is there a line saying Driver "fglrx" [11:08] Very nice [11:09] sw54_, well, what you could do is put a few lines like this in the script echo "$0 was called">>/tmp/my_script.log # and see if that file is created [11:09] Thanks guys [11:09] what is weird though, I have a similar script configuring my iptables rules; now this one runs flawlessly being in a separate file in /etc/init.d/ after a update-rc.d defaults [11:09] Looks like just what I need [11:09] smmagic: np. good luck! [11:09] unop thank you, good idea, I'll try that [11:10] when i change stuff in about:config in firefox, it forgets the settings next time it starts. anyone know how to make them permanent? [11:10] Shadow420, yes, there is [11:10] Hello, everyone, can anyone tell me what the Public folder that's in your Home by default does? Is it just there for example or convention? Can it be deleted safely? [11:10] ubottu: Hi. I tried envyng. I found it synaptic. It only got me from 640 X 480 to 800 x 600. [11:10] chiphead: Error: "Hi." is not a valid command. [11:10] !envy | chiphead [11:10] chiphead: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [11:11] Zoidfarb: if you did add your monitor refresh rates, then try adding some resolutions, section screen [11:11] KidShenck_: like any other public folder? for access from network [11:12] my installation keeps freezing at 6% of the "select and install software" screen, then "installation step failed". I'm using the alternate desktop cd. any known reasons for this? [11:12] chiphead what is your computer graphics brand [11:12] babolat, I mean, the folder called "Public" in your Home. It's not shared by default. I was wondering if it was special in any way. [11:13] shthap3ns could be a bad download of the iso or a bad burn of the iso [11:13] KidShenck_: yep, i know.. and it *is* accessible by others as far as i know [11:13] shthap3ns or other things [11:13] does anyone know how to remove the emblem from the desktop icon in my home folder [11:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=378126 - seems like alot of people have this problem [11:14] babolat: Thank you. :) [11:14] Hi, all! I've installed 8.04. I have windows also with 2 logical disks. Is it possible to auto-mount them, like was in 7.10? I have a problems with it, because I have torrent started automatically, and the files are on these logical disks and torrent do no have access at startup. [11:14] shthap3ns: Same happened here! try netboot mini.iso install or the live-cd. Maybe a bug? [11:14] shthap3ns I didn't have no problems and I used the live cd [11:14] Shadow420: yeah, i'm redownloading and burning at a slower speed right now. just thought someone might know something === szabi is now known as szabiakanich [11:14] SitUbuntuSit: just wondering y u wud want to remove it.. [11:14] hey [11:15] got a quick question, problem [11:15] SitUbuntuSit: it's defined in a theme file [11:15] x1250: what's netboot mini.iso install? [11:15] i have amarok as my media player [11:15] !ask | szabiakanich [11:15] szabiakanich: 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. :-) [11:15] SitUbuntuSit: so you'd need an icon theme or "gnome" theme that defined a different icon [11:15] SitUbuntuSit: or you can edit and existing theme [11:15] shthap3ns: its like netinstall on debian [11:15] and it kinda stoped playing mp3s [11:15] it's not a priority babolat, just for aesthetics. Okay ikonia, thanks a bunch. [11:15] try google: hardy netboot mini.iso [11:15] it still plays flack [11:15] but it says that there's no codec for mp3 [11:15] yesterday it was working just fine [11:16] shthap3ns thats a small net install iso which means you have to be on the net to use and have a lot of time [11:16] i started up my machine today and it won't work... [11:16] i'm using hardy btw. [11:16] shthap3ns did it fail on the live cd as well? [11:17] szabiakanich: are u playing the same file? [11:17] yes [11:17] Shadow420: no, it didn't [11:17] szabiakanich: append the name of the person u're talking to before your reply so that we could follow it easier :) [11:17] Shadow420: alternate failed on 6% here too. Live-cd worked ok, so did mini.iso [11:17] babolat: ok sorry :) [11:18] hi, when you install php5 for apache, is there a binary file called php or php5? [11:18] babolat: so yeah, i do start the same songs, and it works in rhythmbox, won't work in amarok though [11:18] GIn: libapache2-mod-php5 [11:18] Shadow420: but i'm configuring software raid, so i need the alternate or server, but i have no idea what i'm doing on the command line [11:18] szabiakanich: and u don't remember removing the codecs, right? [11:18] x1250: is that a bin file? [11:18] anyone know how to put a "terminal" launcher in a "drawer"?????????? [11:19] x1250: a php script is asking me where the bin php is located [11:19] szabiakanich: i ask coz, there are other mp3 files that need different decoders.. [11:19] shthap3ns x1250 ok then why is he is using the alternative there is a server version of the live cd [11:19] babolat: nope, i shut down the computer yesterday, started up today, wnated to play the file, and it says it can't play it [11:19] GIn: normally /usr/bin [11:19] ikonia, do you think that using a transparent image for the emblem is an easy fix? [11:19] SitUbuntuSit: just a matter of defining the image in the theme file [11:19] GIn: you probably need php5-cli [11:19] szabiakanich: what prompt do u get from amarok?

I am using Ubuntu 8.04. Is there anyway to have my NTFS partition always mount on start up, as I always have to double click it to start it up? [11:30] dvegag: no, I appriciate that, but if you follow the links through it shows different versions and how they link to your hardware, make sure you looking for the right one [11:30] BB88: sure, stick it in your /etc/fstab file [11:31] szabiakanich: got it yet? [11:31] babolat: ok i deleted it [11:31] so does anyone know how to get connected to a wireless network that can help me out? [11:31] szabiakanich: now, try again [11:31] ikonia, I am not sure of the credentials to put in. [11:31] szabiakanich: play the file with Amarok i meant [11:32] babolat: there's also another issue with amarok. when i click on it to start it, it kinda starts but it doesn't appear [11:32] I have a problem with Xchat. I have Hardy installed on two laptops. One of them, the user list shows up on the right hand side, on the other one, it wont show up at all. I can't seem to find any options for it. Anyone care to help? [11:32] BB88: ok, thats reasonable. Look at the existing entries to get an idea, remember your driver will either be ntfs or ntfs-3g depending on what options you want, the rest should be default === Bonez is now known as BonezAU [11:32] well it is the right one [11:32] babolat: but when i look in the system monitor, it's there, sleeping...then i have to kil that process and start amarok again [11:32] szabiakanich: is it on the tray? top right [11:32] dvegag: ok, so you just need to search for a download site, I'd assume ati.com is a good starting point [11:33] I am using Ubuntu 7.04. I want to compile programm and every time i get "your C compiler can create executables". help please to solve it [11:33] Bonez sure the window separater isnt just squashed over to the right far side ? [11:33] ok im gonna search it [11:33] thanks [11:33] BB88 add a line like this to your /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/D ntfs-3g [11:33] gralexey: that could be any type of issue, first thing to check is you have the build-essential package installed [11:33] *cant [11:33] ikonia, something like /dev/sda2/ /media/disk proc defaults 0 0 [11:33] sdb1 is the NTFS partition [11:34] BB88: drop proc [11:34] BB88: needs to be ntfs or ntfs-3g [11:34] GibbaTheHutt: Nope, I just checked. From memory - it has never ever shown up since the day I installed it. Would a remove and re-install help perhaps do you think? I just minimized the window so that it was not taking up the whole screen, and I still can't see the channel list. [11:34] szabiakanich: is the file still not playing? [11:34] ikonia, put that before the 0 0 ? [11:34] babolat: nope, didn't work, now it says: some media could not be loaded (not playable) [11:34] GibbaTheHutt: I do however, have a button on the left hand side at the bottom that shows the amount of users in the channel. If I click it, it brings up a list of everyone, but it's still not what i'm after === rudie is now known as dwaas [11:34] BB88: correct, look at the example sw54_ gave you === dwaas is now known as dwar [11:35] ksin.net [11:35] ikonia, Ok thank you for your help.

[11:37] bbbikk: do'nt need to restart just do "sudo mount $mount_point" to check it [11:37] szabiakanich: right, now reinstall ffmpeg [11:37] Hi, After upgrading to hardy version I can't connect to gtalk or msn using my pidgen messenger , any ideas?

Do you know of anyway to hide mounted items from the desktop? [11:38] gralexey: sudo apt-get install build-essential [11:38] szabiakanich: make sure there isn't a .xine folder in your Home before reinstalling [11:38] BB88: thats a bit more annoying, you have to edit a gnome setting through Gconf [11:38] ikonia, If you have the time? :D [11:39] i dont have internet on Ubuntu yet, could you please tell me how it do in other way? [11:40] :] [11:40] BB88: time for what ? [11:40] BB88: happy to help, what's up [11:40] BB88: In 'gconf-editor' browse to '/apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visible [11:40] gralexey: put the package on a CD and install them from the cd ? [11:40] Lo people, ust installed sql 5, php myadmin but when I go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin he doesn't find it [11:41] mm, went to try...

[11:42] BB88: There is no menu entry though... to add one, right click on Applications > Edit Menus ... browse to "System Tools" and check "Configuration Editor". [11:42] szabiakanich: can't figure it out.. still looking into it [11:42] BB88: That is, if you'd like a menu entry, of course :) [11:42] w00t. i fixed my xchat problem. turned out that I still had an old version installed from during hardy beta. now i removed and reinstalled and its fine [11:43] fde, I just used terminal, but thank you for the tip :) [11:43] illiterate: what does appear? a black screen or the cli login?

(something like in Windows "net view") [11:48] deno: apt-cache show pessulus <-- type that into a terminal... I believe it'll allow you to set timers.

The first version to have this package was Dapper, which was the first LTS release. [11:54] microwaver: might be a more profound net problem, dont know more, sorry [11:54] kaza_lite: or in the shell apt-cache search [11:54] deno: I've played with it, but I have no real use for it.

[11:57] babolat: checking [11:57] Ballena : no... VNC for SSH? [11:57] ok, this might hurt a little, small flood to remove some bans.

[11:59] squid: could you please pastebin your sources.list [11:59] deno: Dapper is supported for 1 more year... and should be fine on that hardware.

[12:00] Ballena: DEFINITELY [12:00] babolat: brb need to restart it, or so the instructions told me [12:00] Ballena: if you ask such questions, the answer is certainly yes... 8.04 is an LTS release, which means you won't have to again for 3 years :) [12:00] knewt: check, indeed they are working hard. Maybe wait for 30 mins to do serious stuff. I was about to go from 6.04 LTS to 8.10 LTS on many of my boxes. [12:00] babolat: ok. Just because it's a LTS?

[12:01] as I have understood it 8.04 does not add many new features, just makeing the system more stable. [12:01] Ballena: because --> http://digg.com/linux_unix/Hardy_Heron_Features --> and many more :) [12:02] deno: Although keep in mind, Dapper had an old version of pessulus... currently they're at 2.3 and it was 0.9 back then.

[12:09] squid aye that happens here on occasion as well-->it should pick up though [12:09] will that be done remotely or on the client machine? [12:09] squid_: security.ubuntu.com isn't working properly. if your upgrade is trying to talk to it, that'll be causing problems [12:09] babolat, ppp0 is set in interfaces but it just won't start up. it complains about missing ppp device === _iwap is now known as iwap [12:09] babolat, but reports rp-pppoe.so being loaded.

[12:10] knewt: right now it says 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37)] [12:10] babolat, that box WAS connected yesterday after a stroke of luck i guess [12:10] ok.Sounds like manual timing.In the usual windows timers clients are remotely controlled by the server machine [12:10] babolat, so yeah, physically speaking it is okay [12:11] squid_: same machine [12:11] deno: also, you can type fd[tab] then start typing so I can follow even easier what you say... right now I have to look for you... whereas your name turns up red probably when I say something to you. [12:11] freetown: is it behind a router? [12:11] babolat, no. why bother with pppoe when you are behind a router. [12:11] deno: No, it would not be manual... it would just require interaction to log back in... [12:11] knewt: oh so archive points to the same as security? [12:11] wo [12:12] while installing the upgrades of hardy from gutsy is internet necessary [12:12] arvind_khadri, was that addressed to me? [12:12] bazhang: the reason squid_'s upgrade is going so slow, is that 91.189.88.37 (security.ubuntu.com, and also one of the ip's of archive.) is not working properly [12:12] i mean after fetching all the packages [12:12] freetown, nope [12:12] arvind_khadri, k [12:13] freetown: what do you get with plog? [12:13] squid_: archive points to two ip addresses. unfortunately, your dns has picked the one that is having problems [12:13] security only points to 1 ip address, on the other hand :/ [12:13] babolat, plog? what is that? i am new from centos/rhel land [12:13] ln -sf that just creates a link right or does it copy the files to [12:13] freetown: in a terminal, type in "plog" and enter [12:14] knewt: apparenty not just 91.189.88.31 but also 91.189.88.37 seems to time out. [12:14] babolat, i am not with my friend...i'd have to call her... [12:14] titon_, symbolic links [12:14] squid_: ouch. have to admit didn't test that one [12:14] squid_: wait, the other way around, right? [12:14] babolat, is plog that php logging thing? [12:14] .37 is the "known" bad one [12:14] thats what i thought thanks so if i delete the symbolic link does that delete the original to? [12:14] knewt: i didn't test any of them by hand it just says so in my terminal [12:15] hello [12:15] how do i install chinese keyboard on my hardy [12:15] freetown: can't get the error you're describing.. try to pastebin your plog results when u can.. [12:15] titon_, no it doesnt but first remove the link and then delete [12:15] thx [12:15] i want to be able to type chinese [12:15] how do i do that plse [12:15] freetown: php logging? dunno :) [12:15] babolat, plog.sf.net [12:15] i installed nvidia-glx-new,i got lots of resolutions and etc,everything works except refresh rates,i can only set it to 50hz max [12:15] babolat, i guess that is not it [12:16] babolat, so...i just ask her to run plog in the terminal? [12:16] knewt bazhang now it seems to have picked one that doesnt time out (although it says nothing about the IP address of the onne that didn't fail) === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [12:16] babolat, any info on what i should be looking for? [12:16] How do I add extra keyboards? [12:16] Hi, I just tried installing Ubuntu 8.04 alongside Windows XP SP2, everything seemed to go great, but then when it reached the end and said it needed t restart the screen went black and there was a thin line of crazy colours down the left hand side, after waiting about 10 minutes for it to do something I hard restarted it and now the system just boots to XP like Ubuntu wasn't installed, what... [12:16] ...on earth happened and how do sort it? [12:16] freetown: yep. then pastebin the results of it [12:16] I want to be able to type in diffrent languages. [12:16] egoleo: System > Preferences > SCIM Input Method System is for exactly the reason you are looking for :) [12:16] !pastebin | freetown [12:16] freetown: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [12:16] can i NAT from a private network into another and back, like lets say 10.10.10.0/8 to 192.168.10.0/24? [12:17] babolat, hard to do that if 1) she cannot connect to the Internet and 2) I am calling over the phone [12:17] knewt: why does it wait for a friggin minute or two before understanding "this host is down, lets try another" ?? [12:17] fde i have seen that. plse what next [12:17] fde am very very new to IRC so you would excuse my naiveness [12:17] egoleo: There is also System > Preferences > Language Support so your apps are all in Chinese too :) [12:17] You there? [12:17] freetown: then ask her what prominent things she sees.. errors [12:18] deno: I'm sorry if I'm coming across angrily or anything, I'm simply trying to inform you to correct such nativities :) [12:18] naiveties too [12:18] fde can we have a direct chat please [12:18] babolat, i already told you. no ppp device is reported after which /etc/init.d/networking reports rp-ppoe.so being loaded [12:19] deno: no, but you can /msg me if you'd like :) [12:19] is there any kind of xorg autoconfiguration in ubuntu hardy? [12:19] knewt: maybe that's a question for the ubuntu developers channel [12:19] ok [12:19] babolat, which leaves in duh land. is there a adsl-start command on ubuntu? [12:19] hi everyone [12:19] yassine, hi [12:19] do you mind having a look at www.dijitanix.com [12:19] deno: Simply type '/msg fde first message here' to initiate :) [12:20] is there a way to have a differnt wallpaper for each workspace ? [12:20] freetown: there is "sudo pon dsl-provider" [12:20] The DVD that ones installs ubuntu from is always added as a software source by default correct? [12:20] freetown: turning it off would be "sudo poff dsl-provider" [12:21] babolat, that will pop up a gui where she will enter what not and the click connect? [12:21] babolat, OH. okay [12:21] FilledVoid, yeah [12:21] arvind_khadri: thanks [12:21] freetown: i don't get any GUI when i try it on my machine [12:21] can I run firefox 2 in hardy? ff 3 crashes every second flash page I visit [12:21] what is the dev. package of ffmpeg? no ffmpeg-dev, no libffmpeg-dev could find [12:21] deno: I can't support that, however you're more than welcome to use it... they appear to directly support Ubuntu... === szabi is now known as szabiakanich [12:21] babolat, you stikk around? [12:21] khamael: install firefox-2 [12:22] ok [12:22] babolat, yes, i understand. i will try that with her. thanx. [12:22] still* [12:22] szabiakanich: just a bit longer [12:22] khamael: but remove firefox-3.0 [12:22] freetown: np.. [12:22] can i NAT from a private network into another and back, like lets say from 10.10.10.0/8 to 192.168.10.0/24 and vice versa or is that as "private" implies not possible? [12:22] Is there an RDP (Microsoft Terminal Services) server program for Ubuntu? I only know of the client app, Rdesktop [12:23] deno: My apologies, but I've never used it, so I'd be useless anyway. [12:23] what is the dev. package of ffmpeg? no ffmpeg-dev, no libffmpeg-dev could find [12:23] Hi, a friend of mine has an Intel Pro Wireless 3495 ABG, he says it does not work by default. Now, there is a driver from Intel called iwlwifi, but it's not a newbie-proof installation. Is there a simple Ubuntu-way of installing it? (I do not run Ubuntu myself) [12:23] babolat: that link you gave me worked. everything cool now!!! AND amarok is working again as well, might have been because of the paritions, because the music i was trying to play was on a windows parition and maybe it couldn't mount those properly, i don't know, what's important is that it works :) thanks A LOT for you help/time :) [12:23] sw54_: afaik, no. you'd rather use vnc or nx for remote desktop.

Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [12:24] babolat: one other thing hehe, where can i set the scroll speed of my mouse?! didn't find that setting anywhere [12:24] szabiakanich: didn't get it in System > Preferences > Mouse ? [12:25] babolat: nope, no setting for the scroll whell unfortunately :( [12:25] the pageup key doesn't work properly in firefox with compiz.. does anyone else see this? [12:26] Can anyone give me any ideas how to get java/java applets working within hardy. I have tried FF3, gone back to FF2, used sun-java, tried iced tea, and even tried the java manual install.. No java applets will load for me [12:26] I just don't get it [12:26] Which package do I install for flash? [12:26] Swfdec player? or Adobe flash player [12:27] flashplugin-nonfree [12:27] szabiakanich: is it a microsoft mouse? [12:27] Hi there [12:27] smmagic: for youtube the adobe [12:27] oaky thanks.

I have a usb pen and no cd, the usb pen is a bootable hardy live, however the pc does not boot from usb. I have wubi but don't have windows. Is there a procedure that will make me install hardy from feisty - I don't care upgrading, I just want to erase everything. [12:28] szabiakanich: that's the first i heard of a mouse problem like that.. though i found this --> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/9200 [12:29] Le-Chuck_ITA: feisty to gutsy to hardy then [12:29] The browsing speed will drop down significantly,after the flash plugin installed. [12:29] simmerz: I saw this on older machines but I don't know why [12:29] simmerz: maybe trackerd [12:29] try to disable that [12:29] Hi. I am having issues with Synaptic updating its repos. I have an internet connection that works great and everything. I click on the "reload" button and it just sits there. Are the old repos for 7.10 already down? [12:29] Le-Chuck_ITA, did you try enable bios to boot from usb? [12:29] Hi, I just tried installing Ubuntu 8.04 alongside Windows XP SP2, everything seemed to go great, but then when it reached the end and said it needed t restart the screen went black and there was a thin line of crazy colours down the left hand side, after waiting about 10 minutes for it to do something I hard restarted it and now the system just boots to XP like Ubuntu wasn't installed, what... [12:29] ...on earth happened and how do sort it? [12:29] tackdriver: of course, there's no option for that [12:29] Le-Chuck_ITA: can your laptop boot to anything other than the HDD? [12:29] yes it can [12:29] cdrom [12:30] and network [12:30] Le-Chuck_ITA: then I would recommend burning a CD and installing from that. [12:30] pajamian: I would recommend that too :) [12:30] i give up as this was my only kernel of hope for help [12:30] problem is I can't bear having all the data and not being able to install on linux [12:30] whileimhere, maybe the server you connected is down. It happens. [12:30] whileimhere: how about trying from the terminal to see the errors [12:30] !install | Le-Chuck_ITA [12:30] Le-Chuck_ITA: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [12:30] while I could install on windows using wubi [12:30] I will try that now. [12:31] thanks DJones and ubottu :) [12:31] Le-Chuck_ITA: ok. I've killed trackerd and I'll see if that sorts it [12:31] Anybody else has an idea about Linux Cybercafe timers????? [12:31] simmerz: the other usual suspect is of course compiz [12:31] I'm running compiz too. I'll do it in a controlled way and only bin one at a time [12:31] it did appear to happen even when i disabled compiz earlier though [12:31] Le-Chuck_ITA: well, there is probably some way to get grub to kick over to the flash drive and install from an image on there, but to be honest, I don't think it's worth all the hassle when you can just burn a CD and do it. [12:32] What I get in the CLI is this: sudrichard@richard-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update [12:32] 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.37)] [12:32] Is there anybody knows something about the "black windows" problem?

[12:32] Le-Chuck_ITA: cool [12:32] Le-Chuck_ITA: annoying - C2D laptop with a decent ati gfx card, which is where the problem probably lies. and until the radeon driver supports 3d properly on r500 devices, I can't really use it [12:33] pajamian: in fact I can use the same method that I used to make the usb pen bootable [12:33] simmerz: I saw that on older ati cards === vincent_ is now known as Solo [12:33] hello [12:33] so it's likely the cuplrit [12:33] IntangibleLiquid: most laptop batteries don't have more than two hours in them on a full charge, depending on what you are using you could easily only get 1 1/2 hours from it.

I don't mean to compare but this is just weird [12:34] fglrx could be the issue though [12:34] IntangibleLiquid: how much time do you *actually* get from windows vs Linux, though? === H2k`OFF|mEp is now known as YvonneIB === YvonneIB is now known as YvonneIY [12:35] It appears that whatever default "Main" servers there are in 7.10 they must be down and out. [12:35] pajamian: in Windows its around 2h30. This is my first test in Windows. Perhaps I should leave the computer running for a while and see what happens. [12:36] pajamian: another weird thing is the less percentage it gets the more time there is. Now it stays at 2 hours. Any idea? [12:36] IntangibleLiquid: yep, also I don't know the specifics of what you can do in ubuntu to save battery life, but there are probably a few things. [12:36] IntangibleLiquid: sorry, no.

[12:38] roxahris: have u changed a theme? [12:38] roxahris I have been saying that! :) [12:38] hi bazhang where abouts are you from? just curious.. spoke to you same time last night [12:38] I have been trying for a hour. [12:38] anyone how to trick envy to build nvidia beta drivers ? [12:38] paulcross: I think so. Compiz Fusion is on. But I'm just curious because Ubuntu uses much less resources than Windows. [12:39] I downloaded Nexuiz and play the i686 glx version of it. so, how can i avoid that ubuntu turns down gamma a few minutes in the game? I think its a screensaver/powermanagement issue [12:39] Le-Chuck_ITA: it appears not to be compiz, OR trackerd. both disabled and it's still happening [12:39] i get "zope 2.10 no instance found" when i try to init zope under hardy ..any clue? [12:39] IndyGunFreak, maybe less than vista, but I dont think its less than xp. [12:39] and top isn't helping me much [12:39] simmerz: I have no more ideas :( [12:40] paulcross: huh?.. [12:40] simmerz: it may still be the video driver [12:40] IntangibleLiquid, maybe less than vista, but I dont think its less than xp. [12:40] roxahris: So you cant get repo updates either? [12:40] hmm: lots of these lines in my /var/log/messages: May 1 12:39:56 persephone kernel: [ 2758.333889] Registered led device: iwl-phy0: [12:40] simmerz: I don't know if it's still possible to use vesa instead of ati driver [12:40] IndyGunFreak, sorry . typing mistake. [12:40] it happens. [12:40] paulcross: ok. I'm running on battery so I'm counting the hours [12:40] Le-Chuck_ITA: I can use radeon now [12:41] babolat: i got it to work in firefox, by adjusting the mousewheel,withnokey entry in the config [12:41] Oh crap! [12:41] Oh no!' [12:41] I'll be back! [12:41] babolat: that should do for the moment. [12:42] szabiakanich: are there other programs that misbehave when using that mouse button? [12:42] babolat: it's not the button, it's the scroll wheel, the speed of it, how many lines it scrolls at a time [12:42] szabiakanich, I think ubuntu just dont support wheel adjust. You cant find it in the control center either. [12:43] hmm, also, wireless doesn't work on my laptop since installing hardy. I get a setkeycodes error when I try and turn the kill switch off [12:43] paulcross: yes, that was my problem, but given that the most i scroll is in firefox, and i managed to change the scroll speed there, it's all good i guess [12:43] szabiakanich: yep.. was referring to that. i'm not sure if it should be called a wheel. hehe.. anyways, congrats on making it work [12:44] szabiakanich, I think the system just dont have the API to do that. [12:44] babolat: yeah :) thanks. ubuntu is lots of fun and there IS stuff that you have to tweak, but I'm willing to learn :D:) [12:44] how do I access the .mozilla folders etc in my home directory? [12:45] szabiakanich: all part of the process. doesnt make Ubuntu any less gorgeous though :) [12:45] I'm new to linux how do I get my sound driver installed. I used the minimal install lspci says Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia [12:45] paulcross: yeah. though i'm surprised that such a feature/setting doesn't exist. i mean that's pretty basic imo [12:45] Koheleth, you type cd .mozilla in your home directory [12:45] thanks, how can I see what else is there and whats that area called [12:45] welcome back roxahris. [12:45] Koheleth, alternatively you can enable the view hidden folders button in nautilus [12:45] Feels good to be back on ubuntu :D [12:46] I see [12:46] roxahris have you gotten the repos to update?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

I used the minimal install lspci says Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia [12:47] paulcross: point to read? what's that/ [12:48] roxahris: did you try from the terminal and pastebin the errors? [12:48] Wow, thats kinda fancy [12:48] Koheleth, happy to be helpful [12:48] I turn it on [12:48] It adds it and asks me to search for a driver [12:48] wait [12:48] it's updating now [12:48] as in I did it once I joined and saw the logs [12:48] ah, thats very verynice [12:49] I got rid of ff 3.05 and installed ff 2.+ but I get a installation error everytime I try to install a extension [12:49] szabiakanich, A basic feature of some dictionary software.

[12:50] as to why it's downloading from canada [12:50] lol synaptic [12:50] is network address translation comparable to routing? [12:50] roxahris: Its just an ubuntu mirror. Is that really an issue? [12:51] because you have it set in the repositories to use an mirror [12:51] No... it goes fast. [12:51] bebe: You need to ask a question first [12:51] Anyway... Package Manager is crashing...

[12:56] Does it seem ubuntu has come a long way in this release? [12:56] slipttees: that's actually a good question... [12:56] slipttees: its called macports--> best to ask in ##apple [12:56] armada: IMAP is sometimes better, as it tells your Webmail if it's been read through ur client or not [12:56] no seems to me it step backwards [12:56] yes i have at restricted driver , but if i set active everithink looks ok until i restart pc and the screen stay black..

[13:23] j0be: I am sshing to a server...via PuTTY [13:23] ggggrrrrrrr [13:23] j0be: tried "bash", alias still not recognized [13:23] what is it with hardy heron [13:23] also, How do I put the MENU/places icons on the desktop (ie "computer" and "home") [13:23] baz: yea, i prefer gnome.. kde is weird [13:23] gegema: you can still do it... type bash and you get a new shell (on top of the old).

[13:25] XP came first [13:26] gegema: check the ~/.bashrc instead of the aliases file [13:26] davidstillson: see if the problem persists with a fresh new user [13:26] ozfalcon: alt-f2, "gconf-editor", /apps/nautilus/desktop, check against "home_icon_visible" and "computer_icon_visible" [13:26] freetown: that would be the address of your router? [13:26] were you able to successfully install HH? [13:26] why does Network Manager insist on use a bogus wired line nameserver for resolv.conf even though I have asked for pppoe name server to be put in? [13:26] PPPOE! [13:26] foldart, thanks, trying now. [13:26] no router. Got it? [13:26] gegema: you can put aliases in there as well. [13:26] Anyone can confirm this? compiz doesn't have any animation for AMSN when returning it to the tray. [13:26] j0be: and the ~/.bashrc file suggests that you use the ~./bash_aliases file for custom aliases [13:26] it seems it did not install the GRUB [13:27] freetown: just set the DNS manually, then, in Network Manager [13:27] HH said it had finished installing and needed to restart, hung for about 10 minutes before I hit the reset button [13:27] j0be: alias ll = 'ls -alh' [13:27] RandomCake: do you get a grub menu [13:27] how can I install grub manually? [13:27] pajamian, that is a work around. sigh. FINE. [13:27] no bazhang, no grub menu [13:27] j0be: do you think extra spaces should matter in this case? [13:27] upgraded from gutsy to hardy now i have 4 harddrives but the fstab disagrees with what gparted finds eg hdb in fstab is sdc according to gparted. can i just change fstab to reflect what gparted finds ? [13:27] freetown: yes, admittedly it is. [13:27] gegema: YES it matters a lot! [13:27] RandomCake: wait--> you hard restarted during the grub install (the end of the installation process)? [13:27] pajamian, who can i hammer to get the Network Manager fixed? [13:27] try it on the commandline first to set the alias (with and without) [13:28] j0be: hmmm.. let me try alias ll='ls -alh' then [13:28] yeah I know, I ran into the same problem once, just fire the machine back up with the live cd in [13:28] the alias command can be very picky. [13:28] it seemed like the computer had crashed, screen gone black and lines down the left hand side :S [13:28] How i can remove application completle. So that i can install it corretly [13:28] blackest: probably not, best to just use UUID [13:28] pajamian, it is not nice telling people Linux just works (i am from centos land) and then run into this problem with Network Manager [13:28] freetown: http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/ [13:28] it had said "Installing Grub" when the status bar was at about 98% or somewhere around there [13:28] make sure that the ext3 filesystem was properly installed [13:28] artti: how did you install it incorrectly? [13:28] Is there a way to disable the desktop effects/compiz in Heron? [13:28] hello. firefox keeps crashing after displaying a few flash pages. what's wrong? [13:29] gegema: if the obvious does not work, the error is in abstraction layer above :-) [13:29] Viaken: system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects [13:29] thanks jrib [13:29] pajamian, GNOME! Okay, I guess I better just try kubuntu instead for friends. [13:29] Thanks [13:29] foldart, That worked, But what a unintutive way to do it. God I would never have found that otherwise. [13:29] RandomCake: you can try installing grub anew if you wish; though hard to say what other damage was done force rebooting during installation process [13:29] -bash: ll: command not found [13:29] freetown: I never said that, Linux has it's problems, but when you work through them I think the experience is better than Windows. [13:29] tid-wave: Using Adobe's flash? It does that to everyone I know. [13:29] ozfalcon: there might be a better way, but that's the way i know :) [13:29] Viaken: yeah, the nonfree plugin [13:29] alias ll='ls -l' No spaces. [13:29] bazhang: meh, the installer shouldn't lie and say it's done and just needs to restart! :( [13:29] gegema: $ alias l='ls -al' [13:29] ok [13:30] jrib, i installed wine through terminal, but says it doesn't exists(no such file or directory when running). Same with synaptic. [13:30] pajamian, I have not ever had a network gui this buggered up. [13:30] how many partitions you have [13:30] ?? [13:30] tid-wave: We just use flashblock/noscript to kill off any flash we don't need, and treat it carefully when we're on flash-heavy sites... [13:30] I have a problem with my bluetooth connection in 8.04... I can send files to my phones, but cannot receive any... says "unable to connect" (it's a Nokia N6600)... [13:30] so it definitely installs Grub after it's said it now needs to restart? I've got 2 partitions, and a second HDD [13:30] Hello anybody, need some help with Broadcom wireless care. [13:30] you need to find out which partition / was installed on [13:31] Sorry card. [13:31] Based on my conversations with people that've tried, Adobe just says "We don't support that version of Linux" whenever they try to file a bug report... [13:31] gegema: check you have 'straight quote' or 'apostrophe', the one on the US keyboard under " [13:31] pajamian, pppoe getting nameserver ips to put in your resolv.conf is like standard across all the Fedoras and Centos distros. If GNOME is at fault, I will just go kubuntu. [13:31] freetown: every OS will give someone problems somewhere. [13:31] ciao a tutti [13:31] artti: pastebin the output of 'dpkg -l wine' as well as the exact command you ran and the error you received [13:31] !it | matteopc [13:31] matteopc: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [13:31] buenasss [13:31] RandomCake: ah then the install was finished and it was just getting ready to tell you to remove the media? [13:31] in RAID mode? [13:31] anyone knows why my bluetooth doesn't work? [13:31] gegema: (or use the " quotes itself :-) ) [13:32] it had already ejected the media bazhang [13:32] j0be: I went into bashrc and uncommented one alias given there as an example and that one did not work either [13:32] pajamian, Granted. But for someone as essential as logon on through adsl?! That is a bit too much [13:32] freetown: the network manager applet is actually a Red Hat product. [13:32] pajamian, s/someone/something. [13:32] foldart, Just scanned through menu items, Doesn't seem to be any way to do it sanely [13:32] scusate mi potete aiutare? [13:32] jrib, ii wine 0.9.60~winehq0~ubuntu~8. ... and command: wine "/home/artti/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CC3/setup.bat" [13:32] pajamian, WHAT? I must try Centos 5 and see for myself then [13:32] nn so mettere il cubo su ubuntu 8.04 [13:32] !it | matteopc [13:32] matteopc: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [13:33] ah ok, nn lo sapevo [13:33] jrib: bash: /usr/local/bin/wine: No such file or directory [13:33] freetown: It probably works for most people. I doubt the problem is as widespread as to not work properly for every pppoe setup. [13:33] gegema: that is weird. you installed the box yourself? no fancy config stuff happening? [13:33] gegema, lets clarify somthing.. the .bashrc and .bash_profile get ran ONCE when a shell starts up.. making changes in them will only get read when you create a new shell. [13:33] So I wonder if the fglrx drivers in hardy support dual screen *and* composite yet? [13:33] artti: type 'hash -r' and try again [13:33] hello [13:33] pajamian, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/180535 [13:33] Launchpad bug 180535 in gnome-system-tools "network settings; utter uselessness thereof for PPPoE" [Undecided,New] [13:33] freetown: many folks have a router between computer and dsl modem [13:34] and gief linx if so cos not having compiz on makes baby jesus cry [13:34] ok, then [13:34] Dr_willis: I guess my question is how to reload the shell without restarting the system (I am sshing to the box) [13:34] freetown: still got that ppp issue? [13:34] bazhang, er...that is not what am i on to. [13:34] ozfalcon: righto, i'll keep recommending the insane way then :) [13:34] freetown: routers are good, etc. in a lanparty [13:34] gegema: if you copy the line from the .bashrc onto the commandline, it does not work either? [13:34] freetown: that's the other thing, most people use a router nowadays. [13:34] gegema, 'source .bashrc' is one way or '. .bashrc' is another way [13:34] just run grub [13:34] gegema: type 'bash' in your console or restart the ssh [13:34] j0be: Yes, I installed the box myself, no fancy stuff... 6.06 server, just upgraded to 8.04 server install [13:34] babolat, pppoeconf finally did ppp0 on boot. But...i still do not get my nameserver ips via pppoe. [13:34] Good morning, I have a problem getting the browser to launch certain files is there some way to fix this? [13:34] gegema, I lerned that from some bash scripting guides. You dont need to run bash, or spawn a nother shell [13:34] and then at the grub console [13:35] jrib, now it looks like working. [13:35] type "root (hdx,x) [13:35] jrib, but not still under menu. [13:35] are there more people that have slow write speeds with k3b ? [13:35] freetown: as I said before, the easiest workaround is probably to just set the nameservers manually and forget about it. [13:35] gegema, using source, and the ., feature 'might' result in redundant entryes in your path. but no big harm [13:35] you cannot just say, people use routers nowadays and so it is okay to let a buggy network manager on the loose. [13:35] bazhang: afternoon [13:35] pajamian, that is what i will do [13:35] x's define where the / partition was installed on [13:35] so I want to upgrade to hardy, but dist-upgrade uses /tmp to download the files, and my / partition is too small. Is there some way to tell dist-upgrade to use i.e a folder on my /home partition in stead? [13:35] hi nickthorley! [13:35] foldart, you know any way to put a terminal launcher into a draw on the panel???? [13:35] freetown: contact ur provider and ask if they have any issues... i'm still not getting that prob of urs.. [13:35] pajamian, but i'd prefer that thing to be fixed for good. [13:36] you may need to run df [13:36] artti: right click on the ubuntu menu icon and see if the "wine" folder is unchecked [13:36] first [13:36] so bazhang, any ideas? :S [13:36] babolat, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/180535 [13:36] Launchpad bug 180535 in gnome-system-tools "network settings; utter uselessness thereof for PPPoE" [Undecided,New] [13:36] freetown: wait--this is through the gui? or the cli [13:36] bazhang, GUI [13:36] as for CLI...this is my first ubuntu so i have no clue how things are done here [13:37] salve a tutti [13:37] freetown: ull get used to it [13:37] !it | stefano__ [13:37] stefano__: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[13:37] freetown: I can't sit here all night and defend Linux to you because of a bug in one applet. I'm sure it will get fixed soon, and if you have the time/ability/inclination you can probably pop into that bug link you found and help out. Even if you don't have any programming capabilities it helps to register your interest for the bug so the powers that be know to give it higher priority, plus you can help with testing. [13:37] bazhang: dont suppose you have any instructions that I could print out now to try tonight do you? [13:37] freetown: aha; had loads of trouble with nm--> had to learn cli so didnt need it any more [13:37] freetown: this is my second day on linux and im starting to get onto things [13:37] Dr_willis: aha... but doing . .bash_aliases worked!!

[13:52] dsehl, have 40 pics in this folder and dont want to have to change each one at a time [13:52] MDCore, hold up [13:52] bazhang, your last link was a workaround...yes: Deb net conf: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html [13:52] rodolfo: ok :) [13:52] foldart, ok, so it's just a wireless network manager realy. [13:52] bazhang, looks like a starting point of their docs [13:52] freetown: let me look thanks [13:52] re [13:53] hi everyone, i've just upgraded gutsy -> hardy and as is typical with these things my entire X config has gone to pot. I was about to try and reconfigure my dual screen nvidia setup again and i was wondering if i can now do this through a setup screen? rather than all the xorg.conf tweaking that's been needed in the past [13:53] bazhang, no, thank you for taking the time [13:53] ozfalcon: well yes, but it will use a wired connection if you plug it in, even if wireless is available. [13:53] hi, how can I restore my xfce panel closed by mistake? [13:53] ok killed it [13:53] MDCore: with it mounted try http://cutecomputer.wordpress.com/2006/01/12/local-software-repository-for-apt-get/ [13:53] ozfalcon: nice to see you're still connected :P [13:53] phew - wired still working [13:53] ;-) [13:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 freetown not much about pppoe in here but seems that the debian stuff is eerily alike [13:54] fde: that seems to e the kind of thing I was looking for... [13:54] Does hardy has Livna? [13:54] could somebody give me the command for compizconfig-settings-manager ? ... I deleted the launch icon T T [13:54] !info livna hardy [13:54] ph8 you should have old copies of xorg.con in the X11 folder try them [13:54] ph8: you can but you'll still need to do some tweaking to file itself [13:54] hm, that stumped it [13:54] foldart: Just use universe and multiverse... both enabled by default in hardy :) [13:54] is it possible to install drivers from the live cd? [13:54] foldart, where was it started from. (So I can stop it in future) ..... Services? [13:55] sploby: you can check on packages.ubuntu.com [13:55] gretl: They crash, i'm assuming there's something new i don't know about [13:55] fde: that seems to be for sharing var/cache/apt/archive on debian... a little bit different.... but I'll try that route [13:55] i'll keep tweaking thanks [13:55] are there any plans for dual head support in actual menus? [13:55] ozfalcon: System -> Preferences -> Session, Startup Programs. [13:55] freetown: the big difference seems to be ubuntu uses dhclient for dhcp and debian uses dhcpd [13:55] it really puts ubuntu behind gaydows [13:55] can anyone help me. I installed hardy and the drivers work but now i am installing from mini iso and do not know how to get the audio drivers [13:55] foldart: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [13:55] ph8: please dont use that a derogatory term thanks [13:56] fde: are you addressing this to the right nick? [13:56] foldart, k, got it. thanks [13:56] does installing sun-java5-jdk also set the required env. variables (JAVA_HOME...) ? [13:56] ph8 I can configure it both with the nvidia and ati controls (desktop laptop) [13:56] bazhang, shucks. [13:56] Wobe: controls? [13:56] foldart: You're looking for an Ubuntu alternative to Livna, correct? [13:56] bazhang, thxn for your time [13:57] ph8: catalyst for ati and nvidia control panel for well um nvidia [13:57] why does 3 file managers pop up all pointing to /media/Disk when i plug in my usb memory stick??? [13:57] ok, back to admin password. can it be changed to something other than my login password? [13:57] nvidia-settings? [13:57] freetown: my apologies for not understanding you were talking about gui earlier [13:57] !sudo | ozfalcon [13:57] ozfalcon: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [13:57] fde: ah, no I was trying to answer someone else's question about livna. Sorry, it was fair to point me to stuff then :) [13:57] MDCore, after the /filename/cdromupgrade command...what happens next? [13:57] how do you install audio drivers in linux? [13:57] rodolfo: it gets to step two or so like I mentioned, gives an error and rolls back [13:58] How do i install Ati drive on Hardy [13:58] ubottu, no, thats not what I want to know. When the system asks for password for admin priv. I want a DIFFERENT password. [13:58] ozfalcon: Error: "no," is not a valid command. [13:58] sploby, i just used that restricted-driver manager in the menus for my laptop. [13:58] nicao: ccsm [13:58] rodolfo: ah worked something out. I added deb file:/media/_mounted_iso_path ... to my sources.list. It liekd that [13:58] xxxxxxx: what kind of driver audio is usually automatically setup [13:58] thanks everyone, I think this will work [13:58] !bot | ozfalcon [13:59] ozfalcon: I am ubottu, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new, gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [13:59] foldart: I wasn't following really... but whoever it was, Ubuntu's 'restricted' section has many drivers, and other things are in universe and multiverse like I said... there is also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu if they are trying to be really frisky :D [13:59] wobe: I installed usuing the mini.iso it is audio [13:59] Dr_willis: every time i do that my system won't load, it load just a blank screen [13:59] can anyone help me get dualboot (vista & ubuntu running)? [13:59] ozfalcon: no, it is your login password. When you sudo, it asks for you to authenticate with your login password [13:59] when i used the hardy iso it worked fine though [13:59] sploby: you may wish to know about envyng-gtk it installs the drivers for you [13:59] sploby, you should be saying so - in your question then. [13:59] anyway to amplify the laptop earphones audio output ??? [13:59] oceanvessel, alsamixer [14:00] already tried that [14:00] foldart, hmmm. [14:00] can I just boot to the hardy iso and install just the driver from there? [14:00] xxxxxxx: add either alsa or pluseadio via apt-get or synaptic [14:00] pluseaudio* [14:00] how do I know which one? [14:00] bazhang: Envyng won't work for me, i try already, does ubuntu support livna? [14:00] is that just sudo apt-get alsa?

[14:14] hi everyone [14:14] navyseal: how did you delete it? [14:14] hwilde, Any ideas? [14:14] FFighter, no idea on that. try some other java apps. Perhaps check the !java factoid/web site. May be somthing you needed to do or are overlooking. [14:14] can someone help me get 3d working so i can use compiz? [14:14] thats I'm really disipointed with hardy if I ever get these files moved going back to gutsy [14:14] Dr_willis, hanks [14:14] thanks [14:14] does anyone else get lines in their video, i have the current nvidia drivers installed, but i still have this annoying problem, [14:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 davidstillson [14:14] brb gotta 'reset' [14:15] send it to the garbage and then deleted the garbage items jrib [14:15] nobody can help? [14:15] ozfalcon, should it be dhcp or what [14:15] hardy will not keep file permissinion that i try and put on some pics so cant move them over to my laptop [14:16] bazhang: thanks [14:16] gamerguy2k8: ati card? [14:16] jtravnick, what filesystem are the pictures on? [14:16] no intel i cant find where i change it to the intel driver from the vesa one [14:16] navyseal: that's not really possible... restore from your backups. /msg ubottu recover to see if you can get some of it if you don't have backups [14:16] ive never used gnome before [14:16] just kde [14:16] bazhang: is the sources.list the only file referred to or is there something else ? [14:16] ozfalcon, add to your /etc/network/interfaces file two lines "auto eth0" "iface eth0 inet dhcp" that will load up the interface automatically on boot [14:16] hwilde, well, I'll be buggered if I know how it got 10.1.144.10 (My dhcp server is set to allocate 10.1.144.100+) [it was manualy set to 10.1.144.10 under fedora before i installed ubuntu [14:17] how do i remove read-only files from a folder as a root? the rm command says it's impossile to do it [14:17] Dr_willis, ext3 [14:17] bazhang: any luck? [14:17] hipitihop: there are repos that are almost ignored here when updating (gutsy and hardy both) the sources.list afaik [14:17] rodolfo, rm -f [14:17] gksu [14:17] jrib, in my case it's xubuntu, how can i get acess to the backup files? [14:17] sudo [14:17] I removed ampd and installed powersaved and now cpu scaling is no longer working. Should I switch back? [14:17] rodolfo, sudo rm -rf jtravnick, weird. Never heard of that issue befor. Seen people get confused with ntfs and try to set stuff it cant handle.. is why i asked what filesystem it was using. [14:17] rodolfo: permission to delete files is determined by write permission on the directory, not the files [14:17] Scunizi, what's the -rf parameter for? [14:18] navyseal: did you create backups? [14:18] ozfalcon, did you pick to import the user preferences during the install? [14:18] not as i remmember jrib lol [14:18] Wyzard, yeah, but I just don't think that this is my case [14:18] Dr_willis, tried chmod 777 on the folder and it took for the folder just not the files in it [14:18] basvg: never saw your link--> did I miss it? [14:18] rodolfo, the -r is recursive meaning it will take out all directories below the one your deleting.. f is for force [14:18] uh i done a trace route with my ip and it is showing three other ip addresses under mine but i am the only one using my modem so what does this mean? [14:18] bazhang: um... games.yahoo.com => go to cardgames, then pyramids [14:18] so nobody can help me get 3d working? [14:19] navyseal: then you can't restore from backups :) This is a good time to start backing things up. You can try what ubottu suggests when you message him about "recover" for this time [14:19] jtravnick, you are the owner of the files also? [14:19] hwilde, HOLD on....... I know why it's 10.1.144.10. (Static assignment by mac address). so yeah it's dhcp and ip assignment is working correctly. [14:19] Dr_willis, yes [14:19] Scuzini, you mean it will delete all folders that is linked to it? [14:19] from it* [14:19] bazhang: is there some log I can check ? [14:19] but I still can't config it on the ubuntu box. It does come up automaticaly on boot though. [14:20] Dr_willis, fact im the only user on both this desktop and the laptop im trying to move them to [14:20] jrib, what is ubottu? [14:20] jtravnick, try making a new file see if you can assess it properly. This sort of thing can be very hard to trouble shoot since its so rare. [14:20] hello is there? anybody in there [14:20] can someone tell me where i go to change my video drivers at in ubuntu? [14:20] !video [14:20] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically.

It does come up automaticaly on boot though. [14:20] hello. [14:20] i dont need codecs [14:20] that doesnt help [14:20] and im on 8.04 [14:20] gamerguy2k8, you might want to check the ubuntu forums for your specific chipset. [14:20] basvg: that is yahoo user only need to have a yahoo acct for that [14:20] I dont use intel. so cant say much more then ti suggest that. [14:20] no i know my chipset supports 3d, it works in suse out of the box [14:20] !intel [14:20] Factoid intel not found [14:20] thanks to Hard Hardon, i have no digital camera, wireless, or numerous other applications! [14:21] thanks in advance! [14:21] i just dont know where in gnome to go to actually change my settings [14:21] Scuzini, Wyzard, hwilde, thanks :) [14:21] ive never used gnome [14:21] gamerguy2k8: System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [14:21] hipitihop, if you are looking system logs check /var/log/ [14:21] QUESTION - Just upgraded to Hardy Heron, now i can't connect to several websites, log in to msn, etc :( [14:21] gamerguy2k8, if you knew the proper name of the driver to put in the xorg.conf - you could just edit the xorg.conf - or use the command like tool to reconfigure X. [14:21] lol i have no idea what that means willis [14:22] hwilde, No, I just erased the fedora partition. no importing - but thats not relevent. (because it's static assigned via mac address as I just mentioned) [14:22] and pici, hardware drivers says theres no proprietary drivers installed in my system [14:22] im given no option to change any [14:22] gamerguy2k8: system-->prefs-->screen resoltuon [14:22] gamerguy2k8: What video chipset do you have? [14:22] ozfalcon, add to your /etc/network/interfaces file two lines "auto eth0" "iface eth0 inet dhcp" that will load up the interface automatically on boot [14:22] bazhang, theres no way to change my video card driver in there i already looked [14:22] intel GMAX3100 aka GMA965 chipset pici [14:22] anyone know how i can view the java console? some java program i'm running is saying to look at the console for errors, and they're not showing on stdout [14:22] 3d works out of the box in suse so i dont see why it shouldnt in ubuntu === ubuntu_h8r is now known as why_doesnt_my_ca [14:23] hi [14:23] hwilde, it already works automaticaly on boot. === why_doesnt_my_ca is now known as updates_suck [14:23] gamerguy2k8, because suse may of configured somthing differently, or included some drivers that ubunt couldent. [14:23] updates_suck, just updated, everything broke [14:23] hwilde, I just can't config the stupid thing. [14:23] is there any one who may be able to answer a digital camera question? [14:23] gamerguy2k8: what about sudo displayconfig-gtk [14:23] ubuntu has the intel driver it just defaults to a vesa driver [14:23] updates_suck, you are not alone, pal [14:23] i dont know where to change that in gnome [14:23] Hello [14:23] I can't get rear speakers on hardy [14:23] ??? [14:23] I don't know why [14:23] anyone here with latest fglrx driver? can you tell me what version of the module fglrx is shown as the output of dmesg | grep fglrx please? [14:23] huh bazhang? i dont see that anywhere [14:24] I have suround enabled in alsa-mixed [14:24] Hi, been having some trouble installing Ubuntu, for some reason Grub isn't running when I boot the system, I'm pretty sure it installed, how can I check what's going on (I'm running Ubuntu now from the Live CD) [14:24] it worked in the older ubuntu version [14:24] docmur, you are using some program that IS outputing in surround sound/5.1 output? if its just stero out.. then it will just do the front. [14:24] gamerguy2k8: can you open a terminal? try that command there [14:24] Dr_willis, the odd thing is the original folder I can move but I copied them over to a folder with all my backups and that one wont move going to try and delete the backup and try and copy them again [14:24] type gksudo displayconfig-gtk in terminal gamerguy2k8 [14:24] ubuntu developers should really have some sort of "common problems" page up [14:24] Rhyhtmbox [14:24] when installing hardy, of course [14:24] fun [14:24] jtravnick, i would check the permissions/ownership on the parent dirs as well. [14:24] um let me look for terminal [14:24] f [14:24] question: my touchpad started using a weird form of absolute positioning since I upgraded to hardy, makes it unusable, anyone seen this problem before? (xorg.conf is unchanged) [14:25] ok that brings it up [14:25] Hi all! As of Hardy, I can no longer associate with my WiFi using WPA (Intel 3945ABG, knetworkmanager). see my syslog at http://paste.ubuntu.com/9198/ - has anyone fixed this issue yet? [14:25] why cant i see this from the menu anywhere?

[14:33] i dont have any empty CD`s =( [14:33] Im not impressed with Ubuntu at all. [14:33] There is a 'SystemResue' live cd - disrto thats very handy. [14:33] oh I just fixed the problem [14:33] RandomCake: you can boot from the live cd or use the supergrub live cd as well [14:33] compah it is like it is now hanging.

[14:37] david_-_-: assuming you're using Ubuntu, there shouldn't be any open ports, but you're probably not gathering by the fact that the packets are all being dropped. so anyway, use google, like google port 505 to find out what it does [14:37] how can i check if the update manager is running?

[14:55] no GUI [14:55] compwiz18: i been using the gui in sys>admin>network tools but i thought i would try nmap . [14:55] !final | tacone [14:55] tacone: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Hardy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [14:55] so i have no clue [14:55] I've put sh /home/ph/Desktop/vpn.sh start in the /etc/rc.local but it didn't do anything [14:55] im in a console! no GUI [14:55] bazhang, yeah I know - sorry, wrong channel [14:55] tacone: since it hit final? or before the 23rd [14:55] Anyone know of a way to get Windows XPSP2 to boot? It show up as an option but hangs and System Start [14:55] then just type lsb_release -a wamty [14:56] jrib: thanks [14:56] david_-_-: nmap is more powerful, but harder to use :P - I think there might be a gtk tool for it somewhere [14:56] !format [14:56] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [14:56] bazhang: from 23rd I guess, but I am not sure [14:56] mike asking for windows help in here? [14:56] tacone then no new updates since [14:56] tunafish: if there are no more updates, then you are at final. There weren't last minute updates [14:56] whats the latest xchat version? [14:56] hello [14:56] ubottu is not right - an upgraded Version is different to a new install [14:56] Laser88: Error: "is" is not a valid command. [14:56] i cant get it to install [14:56] Movaria1, make sure the script is executable, and if so theres proberly no need for the 'sh whatever/whatever/sh' just give the path to the script. === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [14:56] ubuntu 7 installed fine and found my hd [14:56] but ubuntu 8 cant [14:56] Laser88: in what way? [14:56] mike: what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst say. use pastebin [14:57] xcaht 2.8.4 [14:57] is apt-cdrom useful in my case? [14:57] jrib: bazhang: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade tells me everything's update. [14:57] Movaria1, You might want to put it in a better place also like in /root/ so its not in your way later [14:57] im doing a clean install [14:57] drivetrax: oh k thanks. im up to date then =] [14:57] i have a laptop on which 8.04 is installed, what is i installed ubuntu-laptop mode, why does it uninstall ubuntu-desktop? [14:57] tacone: then you are fine [14:57] =] :p XD :p [14:57] i think there is a beta coming [14:57] or out [14:57] tacone welcome to Hardy ;] [14:57] shoaibi, ubuntu-laptop is part of the ubuntu-laptop dependencies. [14:57] compwiz18: gtk tool? [14:57] is apt-cdrom useful in my case? [14:58] ummm, we are past the beta... [14:58] seems strange to be fine. other guys did get upgrades today, I am told [14:58] Hey. If I have Ubuntu-Desktop on my VDS. and Multiple users are connected to it using NX or something. Will they all see different desktops or the same desktop? [14:58] david_-_-: like something with a gui :) [14:58] and ubuntu 8 is asking for drivers for my hard drive but it have never been asked this in ubuntu 7 before [14:58] tcpdumpgod: so if i install it, GNOME will remain as it is? [14:58] shoaibi, yes... it should be fine. [14:58] Chapai: im using Ubuntu Studio Hardy Heron 8.04 with fluxbox [14:58] gaah [14:58] If not, just reinstall "ubuntu-desktop" and it'll reinstall everything that ubuntu comes with. [14:58] just updated from gutsy to hardy [14:58] Hey. If I have Ubuntu-Desktop on my VDS. and Multiple users are connected to it using NX or something. Will they all see different desktops or the same desktop? [14:58] I'm using a x-fi sound card so I need oss4 [14:59] hi, the 8.04 installation (clean install from cd) deleted all files on my desktop (i have /home on separate partition). how do i get my data back? [14:59] but, after the update to hardy, oss4 doesnt work anymore [14:59] can you please tell me how do i set emacs to use tabs rather than spaces for indentation? [14:59] it always worked oin gutsy [14:59] okay, and what about the xchat-gnome icon? [14:59] jrib: for example firefox: in an upgraded system from pre-alpha to final you have different folders for ff2 and 3 - in a new-installation not, even if you install ff2... [14:59] tcpdumpgod: i have installed xchat, but its icon isnt appearing like it should, its icon is like a white command window. [14:59] wpa support comes with hardy wamty [14:59] Dr_willis: so just /root/vpn.sh start ? [14:59] PICI: im using Ubuntu Studio Hardy Heron 8.04 with fluxbox [14:59] so now i cant even install ubuntu 8 [14:59] Movaria1, if thats where its at, and its excecutable [14:59] Hello. I cannot find xorg.conf file. Where can I configure my mouse?

[15:00] shoaibi, "ls -l /usr/share/pixmaps/xchat.png" [15:00] I'm using a x-fi sound card so I need oss4 [15:00] what is the output of that shoaibi [15:00] but, after the update to hardy, oss4 doesnt work anymore [15:00] chi11y, thank you. [15:00] it always worked oin gutsy [15:00] ghabit, np [15:00] yes, it is, right now I'm always executing by hand and it works [15:01] chi11y: if someone knows they will answer--was there a question in there? [15:01] I'd just like to have it done automatically [15:01] hello [15:01] tcpdumpgod: ls: cannot access /usr/share/pixmaps/xchat.png: No such file or directory [15:01] remeber me? [15:01] Movaria1, could be its running too soon for whatever its doing to take effect.. whatever its doing... :) [15:01] bazhang, the question was: how to get oss4 working on hardy? [15:01] compwiz18: ah ok and i did a scan of sudo nmap -A with my ip im on now and i got a whole bunch weird text. [15:01] it establishes my internet connection [15:01] SO? [15:01] shoaibi, looks to me like you've erased xchat's icon. [15:01] Movaria1, but rc.local gets ran as the last service. so that shouldent the case [15:01] david_-_-: that might be the ID text - if you pastebin it I'll take a look [15:02] <_Elk> reduz , got it working now, just needed to change the "Language for non-Unicode programs" option on windows [15:02] I personal think that Ubuntu 8.04 sucks. I really prefer 7.10 [15:02] so why aint my hard drive being detected by setup on a clean install of ubuntu 8 but was detected on ubuntu 7.10 [15:02] with wich program can i use my modem as a telephone? [15:02] Movaria1, modify the script to make it log/print out some info to show that its running. to be sure it IS actually running perhaps. [15:02] jrib: and totem works on an upgraded system, but no sound in a fresh install... [15:02] compwiz18: http://pastebin.ca/1003914 [15:02] if you want to install wpasupplicant then sudo apt-get wpasupplicant if its not available the add the cd rom in software sources, [15:03] Where can i see what chipset my Mainboard has? [15:03] AndiK: lshw [15:03] Movaria1, and be sure the command is BEFOR the 'exit 0' line in rc.local [15:03] Chapai: Man I have no internet connection! [15:03] chilly -- xmms? [15:03] AndiK: $ lspci [15:03] * tunafish is giving up on ubuntu 8 [15:03] Laser88: I suppose that has a bug open? [15:03] xmms is not in hardy any more. [15:03] Chapai: That is WHY I want to install it from the CD. BUT whats the command????? [15:03] 8.04 was not ready to be released [15:03] hey, I'm a C# developer and I'm trying out using mono developer on ubuntu, but from the default install it doesn't seem to want to play nice. Any hae much success using mono with c#.net apps? [15:03] david_-_-: yeah, that's so if you want you can send that data to them and tell them what service is running, and nmap will be able to identify that in the future [15:03] I have an issue with 3D-Hardware acceleration since my update to Hardy, can someone help me? (xorg.conf is at http://jensg.bplaced.net/xorg.conf, xorg.0.log at http://jensg.bplaced.net/Xorg.0.log) [15:03] chilly - use Alsa [15:04] kron, why not?

[15:06] help please! [15:06] chi11y, actually the people at CREATIVE have totally dropped the ball on their Linux Support for the X-Fi card. they said it was due to the extra work they had to do for the VISTA drivers for the card. it took all their manpower to get that working. [15:06] kron that is default for all OSes when embedded [15:06] codemon_, the mono from apt is very old - you should try the new version 1.9.1 http://swik.net/Mono [15:06] !ru | bmw [15:06] bmw: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [15:06] david_-_-: looks like its just a reserved IP for something [15:06] ArtJoe: just ask away, if someone has an answer for you, they'll respond [15:06] Laser88, i dont want or use xmms any more. :) its got 'issues' [15:06] http://radioblogclub.com was extremely fucked up...

The problem is that alsa doesnt support X-fi. oss4 do [15:06] !language > kron (read the private message from ubotu) [15:06] is there a deb or just src? [15:06] ligemeget: this is gutsy or hardy [15:07] compwiz18: should i be worried? i didnt have it on the other ip i have. [15:07] bazhang, hardy [15:07] ohhhh wamty [15:07] Don’t throw that old PC away just yet, it still has some life in it yet. No matter how bad your old PC is it can always be used as a router, and your old router as a switch. All you need is two nic cards for it. Originally I did this on a Pentium 3 with 256 MBs of memory. I had that setup for around 6 months before the computer finally died. Never quite figured it out but it was either... === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon [15:07] ...the processor or the mother board. But anyways on with the show. I will be setting this up on an AMD 3200 XP processor with one gigabyte of memory, an nForce 2 chipset and 450 gigs of hard drive space. The linux distribution I’m using is going to be Gentoo linux. [15:07] Dr_willis: what guy? all too fast for me here - I'm German - and I'm in other channels too^^ [15:07] chilly - PulseAudio ?

[15:07] Laser88, some other guy was asking about xmms - :) i forget who. [15:07] what do u mean? [15:07] bazhang, neither Amarok nor Rhythmbox find anything - I haven't got gtkpod installed [15:08] i mean to be able to type another language than only english [15:08] i think the developes really screwed up ubuntu 8 [15:08] david_-_-: sorry, whre did you see that IP?

[15:08] <|Dreams|> why does firefox keep going a grey colour and not letting me use it [15:08] search in synaptic [15:08] im trying to ask for help [15:08] codemon_, we just cross compile then run the binaries throuhg mono. [15:09] |Dreams|, with compiz - ive seen that dimming effect on some apps also when they are busy. [15:09] david_-_-: I dunno where that came from, but I probably wouldn't worry about it [15:09] my usb drives are not detected, they power up on insertion and then they die. lsusb shows nothing [15:09] tunafish please stop [15:09] how to do [15:09] ???? [15:09] stop what [15:09] <|Dreams|> after trying both ubuntu and kubuntu am not sure which one i prefer now [15:09] how do i set the clock in the gnome panel to UTC?

[15:15] codemon_, the problem is that entire industry is under the thumb of microsoft, and this entire open source universe is eating away its market share as fast as possible. so you should just convert now and be ahead of the curve [15:15] this is my first trial on using pc as router [15:15] mysterycool: depends on the app, might try their homepage for instructions [15:15] kron please stay on topic [15:15] <`ph8> atlef: The IP address?

[15:21] my usb ports will not work how can i fix this im in hardy gnome. [15:21] codemon_: depends on how progressive the company is.

[15:35] mine hangs at 00:03 seconds or around [15:35] zephyr_blore: ah, duh, your kernel doesn't want to tell its config. if the flash drive (USB stick) does not work, then you most likely don't have either the USB port drivers or the USB mass storage driver compiled into the kernel [15:35] Hi @ all, does someone know how to fix the bc43xx freeze problem?

[15:55] is there a way around the "loading files needed to boot" part? the one you get when booting into Ubuntu after booting into windows? [15:55] Pici: there is nothing new in dmesg related to the usb. Just the old lines from boot-up [15:55] ikonia: no ethernet [15:55] bazhang: in the #ubuntu-classroom [15:55] navetz: so it can't detect anything when your plugged in at home [15:55] tech0007: thanks very much :) [15:56] zephyr_blore: Thats rather odd [15:56] KeithWeisshar: Atheros ar5007 wireless is better supported with 32 bit driver from madwifi. Maybe true of other hardware? [15:56] navetz: if you tail -f /var/log/messages do you see "eth1 up/down" messages when you plug the cable in and out [15:56] ikonia: when I am at home it detects, but right now it wont work [15:56] sd [15:56] Pici: let me do it again and i shall place the output in the paste-bin [15:57] ikonia: yea it says link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex [15:57] народ посоветуйте плиз хороший плеер типа винапма =) [15:57] zephyr_blore, disconnect and reconnect it then run dmesg again [15:57] ikonia: I can't find any arguments that seems related, could you please give me some more details?

[15:59] mikefoo1: ok, so manually can you nslookup or dig the domain ? [15:59] ikonia: I am pretty sure it is static, this is a business environment. [16:00] navetz: most businesses are dhcp - you'll need to check. If it is static ask for a valid ip/subnet thats free from your IP hostmaster [16:01] ikonia: Is a subnet the same as a gateway?

[16:02] Ubuntu is grreat, at least compared to the preinstalled Windows vista which is in different language === dwhsi1 is now known as dwhsix|work [16:02] is anyone having problems with sarg on amd64? [16:02] bebe: i had same prob. yesterday with on-board vid. driver here, re-started in recover mode and ok. [16:03] zephyr_blore, it did not register a usb disconnect and reconnect at the bottom of dmesg.

[16:03] zephyr_blore, what kind of device is it [16:03] ikonia: server [16:03] hwilde, not downgrading just downgrading the kernel and that wont break my system [16:04] Sake: $ apt-cache policy rdiff-backup, read the repository, and an equal hardy repository in /etc/apt/sources.list. Then $ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -t hardy install rdiff-backup [16:04] hwilde: its a sandisk cruzer flash drive [16:04] ikonia: sarmisak: ah ok, i have the netmask. [16:04] that should install hardy version [16:04] ikonia: i can upgrade to hardy at no cost and minimum time [16:04] sarmisak: ok, the ubuntu server kernel has SSP built into the kernel, I've seen that complaint before [16:04] fix: and add an equal hardy repository... [16:04] hmms then sarg people should solve it [16:04] zephyr_blore, does it light up? can you plug it into a different usb port? do other usb devices light up in that port? does it work on different computer? [16:04] navetz: do you have a valid ip address on the right network with the right netmask, ask your network IP manager [16:05] navetz: you should ask your network administrator [16:05] ikonia: sarmisak: I have the netmask, a static ip address, and a gateway from the network namager here [16:05] navetz: as an admin I lock the mac addresses against ip's [16:05] hwilde: it lights up for a moment then the lights go off. I have two usb ports, both work (do not work :) )exactly the same. It works on a windows computer [16:05] navetz: I suggest you get your network administrator to look over your shoulder when entering it, as if the card is seen the only thing stopping it would be an address from the wrong subnet [16:05] navetz: ok try this [16:06] zephyr_blore, do you have any other usb devices to plug in to verify the usb ports work [16:06] Question: I'm having TCP connections stall after upgrading to hardy, windows works fine behind the router, ubuntu doesn't [16:06] navetz: type your static ip to your ip, set netmask 255.255.255.0, and gateway to your gateway [16:06] sarmisak: i have done that [16:06] if you can ping your gateway everything should work smoothly [16:06] another member of the forum asked me this --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/9226/ I'd like to help him, but don't know what to tell him..

I'm trying to recode a windows .reg file but when i do it returns: "failed: Untranslatable input in step `ISO-10646-UCS-2..ANSI_X3.4-1968'" [16:18] hwilde: I meant to say the first 3 parts of my gateway correct*** [16:18] hwilde: I want to switch to a previous version of bluez-utils [16:18] pici [16:18] now I use https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/boot-usb-files.html [16:19] babolat, a week. but they're still slow [16:19] i have a problem now.. i cant install my soundcard driver cuz of this [16:19] kenci: apt-cache show steam [16:19] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick does *not* work at all === Bodsda_coding is now known as Bodsda_afk [16:19] !away > Bodsda_afk [16:19] tanath: are u *sure* that ur time is set correctly? coz right now I still can't think of any other cause.. still looking into it though [16:19] navetz, ignore bcast. type sudo /sbin/route does it say default and have your gateway ? [16:19] navetz, no Bcast is broadcast which is the last ip address in subnet so if your netmask is 255.255.255.0 your bcast should end in 255 [16:20] kenci: Then remove the steam package, also follow any directions that apt tells you to repair the install [16:20] tanath: what other debs have u added to the repo list? [16:20] Any idea who maintains ubottu? [16:20] babolat, my computer time is the same as my kinetic watch and my cell phone [16:20] chmac_away: the ubuntu irc operators [16:20] Ubuntu founder now in #ubuntu-classroom [16:20] hwilde: thanks for your help, i think i need to do some more research :| [16:20] ikonia: can I just copy dump the iso file on the USB drive, ala cat ubunntu.iso > /dev/sba1 ? [16:20] BenB: thanks ! [16:20] ikonia: Do you know how to pass on feedback? [16:20] Pici: Thanks ! [16:20] zephyr_blore: good luck [16:20] BenB: that won't "boot it" but you can mount it loop back as a mobile reop [16:21] so... is there a way to downgrade a package, using synaptic or apt-get? [16:21] tanath: what other debs have u added to the repo list? [16:21] chmac_away: contact the ops in #ubuntu-ops [16:21] !downgrade | cosminb [16:21] cosminb: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.

I can hear instant message sounds but nothing flashbased [16:21] every time I play music in firefox, rythmbox stops working [16:21] ikonia: ok, that doesn't help, then. I guess syslinux won't work on it either, given that it's no FAT? [16:21] hwilde: kane77: yes it says default and it has my gateway. (not sure if thes means anything but genmask is 0.0.0.0, Flags is UG, Metric is 100, Ref is 0, Use is 0 and Iface is eth0 [16:21] until I reboot [16:21] BenB: spot on [16:21] navetz, that's fine [16:21] navetz, can you ping the gateway now [16:21] does someone know a good way to do a chkdsk using linux on a NTFS partition ?

[16:23] babolat, that's from my sources list [16:23] hwilde, is it possible with networkmanager to have "failover" configs for when dhcpclient times out?

[16:24] babolat, http://pastebin.ca/1003975 [16:24] harveyd: you can use the system monitor... [16:24] ps -A lists quite a lot though :P [16:24] thefish, on one of my machines I hacked the dhclient to not clear out the old settings on failure. that works pretty nice [16:24] harveyd: yep [16:24] none of them are obviously related to sound [16:24] harveyd, lsmod | grep snd [16:25] tanath: looking [16:25] hwilde, nice plan, is that in options or actual source hacking? [16:25] harveyd: pulseaudio, esd, alsa, etc [16:25] kuma, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [16:25] thefish, src hack :/ [16:25] Is there anyone who can help me?

I used to do this in xorg.conf but that file has changed significantly-- my max resolution isn't big enough for my external monitor [16:28] babolat, well, change hardy to gutsy, and yes [16:28] tanath: and did u have exactly these sources *before* the release, and they worked?

Earlier it seems my WM died - I couldn't move out of the window I was in, mouse clicks weren't being registered etc, I restarted X (and the computer) now I start, my auto-launch apps work, I have a desktop with icons. But I have no top or bottom bars (menus, taskbar, etc) [16:29] tanath: well, line 88 says that you need to this time.. [16:29] BenB: I know this, thats why I told you to modprobe it [16:29] YouKnowMe: ps -e show it?

[16:30] ikonia: it keeps asking me for a mirror server. [16:30] babolat, the key is just to say you trust the repo after all, otherwise it prompts you when installing stuff from it [16:30] anyone? [16:30] navetz, your /etc/network/interfaces file seems to be ok. it should work on reboot. you can also try "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [16:30] BenB: the iso image on the usb stick is squashfs, you'd need to decompress it [16:31] tanath: Yes, well, you really ought to trust the repos you're adding... else you shouldn't add them :P [16:31] there is nothing in the install menu either, just "configure network", "select mirror server" and "download components" [16:31] tanath: well, there was this one other guy who was having a problem with security.ubuntu.com as well.... dunno if that's relevant [16:31] hwilde: thanks man, I really appreciate the help [16:31] BenB: what are you actually booting from ?

[16:33] to install wine.. can i just use sudo apt-get install wine [16:34] kenci: just pull it out of the repos with your package manager of choice [16:34] kenci: get wine-doors. more gets installed [16:34] BenB, ikonia in the apt sources.list it's looking for the cdrom, which you need to change to the usb drive [16:34] any hope to see a dvd ? nor mplayer nor vlc neither totem-xine are able to reproduce my dvd libdvdcss2 is install as well as libdvdread3 [16:34] tanath: The command line says "Do you want to import this key?

Not even in 8.04? [16:34] hwilde: but it's not in that state, his repo is an ubuntu desktop iso [16:35] fde, uh, if you try to import the key, which i haven't yet. working on it though [16:35] d90: Maybe it's not fully translated, would be a great place for you to start getting involved :D [16:35] mark!

[16:36] fde, i can't find the key [16:36] Who is Mark here? [16:36] _`XeOn_: you need to brin fesity up to date first [16:36] fde:, but there are bosnian (difference les than 5% in words in compare with serbian), but serbian is far more better localized. [16:36] atlef.. the system could not find wine-doors [16:36] <_`XeOn_> ikonia: ok thanks [16:36] fde, nvm [16:36] _`XeOn_: if it's a fresh install just do a fresh gutsy install (or hardy if that is your end goal) [16:36] ikonia: it bothers me that ubuntu's package maintainers only support certain upgrade paths [16:36] hwilde: is there a network manager with a gui you recommend? I am using KNetworkManager but I cant get it to detect devices [16:36] kenci: http://www.wine-doors.org/wordpress/ [16:37] any good guide for 3945ABG wireless card? [16:37] sparr__: the upgrade paths are VERY open, it's common in all os's to bring the old OS up to date before upgrading to a new. [16:37] navetz: try nm-applet (gnome) [16:37] sparr__: Microsoft and Apple only support one: Buy the new product. [16:37] ikonia: no, it's not. particularly in debian. [16:37] navetz, I don't trust any of the guis... because of problems like yours and many others. [16:37] <_`XeOn_> is Hardy having issues? [16:37] fde:, how can I help localizing ubuntu more? [16:37] kenci: there is a deb package [16:37] how can i type in another language except than English? [16:37] <_`XeOn_> wich one is more stable? Gutsy or Hardy? [16:37] mysterycool, i'm tired of answering your question over and over! [16:37] _`XeOn_: they're both stable releases [16:37] ikonia: if [random package] 1.0 -> 1.1 -> 2.0 works, but 1.0 -> 2.0 doesn't, i consider that a bug. [16:37] hwilde: u didnt answer [16:37] _`XeOn_: gutsy [16:37] sparr__: I'd disagree, look behind the sence at what the debian update does. But thats not really for this topic (plus also be aware of the differences between certain upgrade paths eg: the old LTS to new) [16:37] fde, babolat ok, got the google key thing out of the way. alert still came back [16:38] hwilde: and the people who did didnt get it right =[ [16:38] mysterycool, go up in the menu System- > Admin -> Language Support [16:38] d90: https://translations.launchpad.net/ [16:38] sparr__: they're always looking for help [16:38] mysterycool, go up in the menu System- > Admin -> Language Support [16:38] kenci: and it may seem to freeze, but be patient [16:38] hwidle: i went [16:38] hwilde: well I neet to set up a DNS and some other stuff, I don't know how to do it without a GUI :( I need learn all that you know [16:38] <_`XeOn_> thanks quick help here as always :) [16:38] hwilde: by the way, all this changes i'm making the ad-hoc will affect me the next time i try to connect to a wireless conection?

[16:38] kuma, no you will have to hack some config files to do that... i'm not sure how to make it adhoc on boot except by running those commands in /etc/rc.local [16:38] fde, yeah, i did. that's how i know it's "out of the way" :P [16:38] gordon: in that section [16:38] tanath: try another server still? dunno [16:39] hm [16:39] hwidle: ive chosen my language then I hit apply. then what??! :S [16:39] sparr__: but there is nothing there except for Identifier "Configured Monitor" [16:39] tanath: You said it still came back though... it shouldn't...

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [16:50] fde: i open update manager then clicked "Upgrade to 8.04" button [16:51] hi [16:51] hwilde: call me stupid... but the other PC should make an wireless connection with mine? [16:51] I've got a question for the ubuntu masters [16:51] mnuaimat: 'sudo update-manager -d' I've never had issues with as far as I recall. [16:51] !ask | Hasone [16:51] Hasone: 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. :-) [16:51] Hasone: Then ask it. [16:51] fde: ok wait a minute, i will try it [16:51] kuma: with the router [16:52] kuma, you have to put them both in adhoc mode and then set the ssid's the same [16:52] mnuaimat: how long do you let it sit there before you give up on it and restart it? Upgrading over the internet is a time-consuming process. Give it some more time and see if it gets past the Preparing for Upgrade step [16:52] on hardy server, there is a warning that resolv.conf will be overwritten, anyone know by what, and where is the new good place to put nameservers? [16:52] hwilde: the other pc is windows, is that a problem? [16:52] kuma, can you put it into adhoc mode [16:52] alright. when I was updating to heron, my power went out and my computer shut off mid-update. now my internet doesn't work and I can't use the gui to browse my folders. [16:52] x1250: i dont have a router, [16:52] I'm having trouble getting this to work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 can someone help? I'm on Hardy. (x3) [16:52] FastZ: yeah i know that, i have tried to let it alone for a whole night, but the other morning i found its still stuck at the same point === Aragon^ is now known as Aragon [16:53] Hasone, run sudo apt-get install -f [16:53] FastZ: Good thing about doing it via CLI... it'll show her what it's doing... giving feed back is a good thing generally. [16:53] hwilde: ok, iĺl try [16:53] now each time i open the update manager , a "partial update" pop up appears asking to do a partial update on some of the apps [16:53] sudo can't resolve host laptop-name [16:54] Can someone tell me how I install/apply the fix listed here: https://launchpad.net/~rrenomeron/+archive ? (Just a link to a tutorial about applying source PPA would do; all the information I can find is targetted toward people wanting to set up a PPA, not those wanting to apply it.) [16:54] fde: i agree. mnuaimat: alright, what happens when you perform a partial upgrade? [16:54] what is the proper way to handle bugs already reported upstream? [16:54] FastZ: i didn't because i want a dist-upgrade [16:54] komputes, for i in $( ls | grep txt ); do sed s/\.txt//g; done [16:54] komputes, run that in a terminal [16:54] FastZ: I don't think she's knowledgeable enough to get her to change files manually... [16:55] sparr: link them to your report in ubuntu's tracker [16:55] mnuaimat: actually, how comfortable are you with command line tools? [16:55] komputes, er, woops, hold on [16:55] o_O [16:55] what do I do if sudo can't resolve host computer-name? [16:55] tanath: that will not work :P [16:55] how can I make my ubuntu look like Mac OS X? :S [16:55] fde: its all ok, i was beginner , now i am better a little [16:55] Hasone, cat /etc/hostname [16:55] fde: anything i can do on shell ? [16:55] Hasone, you should also have a line for it in /etc/hosts [16:56] x1250, yeah, saw that :P [16:56] I have two computers with Hardy, and both are missing /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release-lts. Is there anywhere I can get this file? [16:56] x1250: yours didn't work either [16:56] mnuaimat: fde: if she already started the dist-upgrade, then wouldnt that be why she is getting the "partial upgrade" notifications? proceeding with the partial-upgrade should start up where the dist-upgrade left off. it's worth trying in my opinion. [16:56] cat /etc/hostname - permission denied [16:56] I'm having trouble getting this to work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 can someone help? I'm on Hardy. (x4) [16:56] komputes: I didn't attempt to script a solution for you, but just show you how YOU could script a solution for yourself. [16:57] mnuaimat: ok... you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change instances of "gutsy" (I think you said) to "hardy" in that file... then do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get upgrade' all one command, copy and paste... looks complicated, but it's really not :) [16:57] um i have a ? when I uninstall a app from wine it still shows in the programs list how do i remove it? and yes i have asked aready in the winehq channel with no response so im going to try my luck here. [16:57] fde: ok , how can i do find replace with vi ?? [16:58] if I download the alternate install cd, should I be able to use that to fix my computer? [16:58] WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler [16:58] wtf [16:58] x1250: I understand, I don't need a script, just to clean up some files, I have tried "find /home/me/txtdir/ | grep .txt | xargs sed s/\.html//g" [16:58] Hasone, you could also try logging in with "linux single" at the grub prompt (you may need to press ECS to get this whilst booting) [16:58] mnuaimat: No idea... 'sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old && sed -e s/gutsy/hardy/' will work though [16:58] Hello is it possible to run the ubuntu (.iso) file when i reeboot my windows without bruning it on a CD? [16:59] hi [16:59] !upgrade | mnuaimat [16:59] mnuaimat: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:59] kollo16: possible, technically yes. feasible, no. [16:59] Hasone, what do you get with "cat /etc/hosts" there should be a line in there for your computer name [16:59] quelqun parle francais ? [16:59] oui, vien en privé [16:59] kollo16, you could install it from usb-stick [16:59] i get "permission denied" [16:59] ok [16:59] fde: ok, reported bug #225297 [16:59] Launchpad bug 225297 in fvwm-crystal "update-menus fvwm-crystal calls sh with bash parameter -r" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/225297 [17:00] mnuaimat: I made a backup as part of that command also... but after that, run the previous command I said... [17:00] Hasone, youll need to boot to single user mode, like i said [17:00] komputes: this will probably work: for file in $(ls);do mv "$file" `echo "$file" | sed s/\.txt//g`;done [17:00] Crazyguy: i got it on USB. but HOWTO now? [17:00] thefish: alright. [17:00] doing that now. [17:00] Hasone, its on a separate computer i guess? [17:00] I'm having trouble getting this to work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 can someone help? I'm on Hardy. (x5) [17:00] fixing this bug would require minimal shell-scripting-fu, i think [17:01] thefish: yeah. i'm chatting from my windows box. *shudder* [17:01] <_`XeOn_> i dun like diz gnome xchat version [17:01] Hasone, nothing to be ashamed of :) [17:01] mnuaimat: No idea... 'sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old && sed -e /etc/apt/sources.list s/gutsy/hardy/ ' sorry. [17:01] fde: i understand that, thanks but , how can i now get rid of "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock" error ?? all update managers are killed , and theres nothing on the shell running apt-get or anything related [17:01] fde: is there anyway to get rid of this error without restarting ? [17:01] mnuaimat: lol... I didn't tell it what file to function on... [17:01] thefish: the first time I signed on after the restart, I was able to download 500 MB worth of upgrades and install them. When I reset after that is when the system broke. [17:01] x1250, gah, i such at scripting, lol... my attempt keeps hanging :P [17:01] mnuaimat: sudo [17:01] kollo16, most of the tutorials I found require you to have a working linux installation to make the usb-stick [17:02] Can someone tell me how I install/apply the fix listed here: https://launchpad.net/~rrenomeron/+archive ? (Just a link to a tutorial about applying source PPA would do; all the information I can find is targetted toward people wanting to set up a PPA, not those wanting to apply it. I must be overlooking something really obvious, as it shouldn't be this hard...) :/ [17:02] fde: ?? [17:02] kollo16, try searching http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=install+ubuntu+from+usb+stick&btnG=Google+Search [17:02] thefish: it's just that I love my linux so much. And I've been coding up a storm on it recently. I just want to get back to that. [17:02] Hasone, not sure what has happened, but it looks like your computer has an identity crisis - it needs to know its name to be able to authenticate you. after we sort this, we can look at doing the rest of the upgrade [17:02] mnuaimat: actually, I told you to use sudo already... ps -e and look for anything containing update or apt [17:02] Hasone, what you coding? [17:03] <_`XeOn_> question: wich is better Compiz, Compiz Fusion, Beryl, GTK2 ? [17:03] fde: thanks [17:03] hey, can anyone help me? I'm looking for a program that will monitor my bandwidth and email me a notification when I get to a certain amount every month [17:03] !compiz | _`XeOn_: [17:03] _`XeOn_:: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [17:03] thefish: okay, I'm in grub's esc menu. I get options for 2.6.22-14 and 2.6.20-16-generic with and without recovery mode. and for ubuntu 7.10, memtest86+ [17:03] hey folks - I just upgraded to hardy heron the other day. Earlier it seems my WM died - I couldn't move out of the window I was in, mouse clicks weren't being registered etc, I restarted X (and the computer) now I start, my auto-launch apps work, I have a desktop with icons. But I have no top or bottom bars (menus, taskbar, etc) [17:04] thefish: I'm exploring the dylan language (a lisp spinoff that's much less confusing and much more coherent). I'm writing a neural network to explore the language. [17:04] fde: theres nothing related on ps -e [17:04] babolat, fde my alert has gone away... not sure if it'll come back again though [17:04] tanath: When there are more updates, it will [17:04] I'm having trouble getting this to work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 can someone help? I'm on Hardy. (x6) [17:04] why is xmms not in hardy.. === chaky_ is now known as chaky [17:04] i want my xmms [17:04] yea why there is no xmms [17:04] XD [17:04] fde, it has come back when there were none [17:04] thefish: I'm also downloading hardy's altermate install cd. should I not bother? [17:05] Intangir: xmms2 [17:05] fde, that was part of the prob [17:05] mnuaimat: No idea... 'sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old && sudo sed -e s/gutsy/hardy/ /etc/apt/sources.list' btw... boy am I tired. [17:05] i think [17:05] Hasone, maybe wait a while [17:05] Hasone, but it may come in handy [17:05] ls [17:05] sudo apt-get install xmm2 ... like that ? [17:05] hi there, does the ubuntu 8.04 LiveCD contain ntfs-3g? [17:05] xmms2 is not xmms, its a command line crap with no front end, no video plugin support obviuosly.. it has very little to do with the xmms im talking about [17:05] xmms * [17:05] Hasone, ok, iirc there is a "c" option, to edit the command? [17:05] Intangir: ok [17:06] Otman: its no good [17:06] Intangir: what about bpm [17:06] thefish: yep. trying it now. [17:06] Intangir: sucks, doesnt it? have to compile it yourself, or try audacious [17:06] Using packages from repositories not controlled by Ubuntu is not recommended as it can be a security risk and may break or complicate your upgrade. If you have used EasyUbuntu or Automatix (neither of which is recommended nor supported), you may have problems upgrading to a newer version that requires a fresh install. oops , i have installed automatix shit !!! [17:06] thefish: in it now. [17:06] Intangir: audacious is a fork of a fork of xmms [17:06] hwilde: hey are you stiill here? [17:06] regarding xorg.conf: does the syntax allow comment lines (with leading "#") within sections? (or only outside of sections) [17:06] mnuaimat: meh @ automatix... ive got *DEBIAN* in my sources :) [17:06] Hasone, ok you should have a # prompt, meaning you are the daddy-o [17:06] mnuaimat: stick a # in front of those entries for now please. [17:06] my "audio capture settings are invalid" displayed after trying to activate gnome recorder. Testing on all plugins in Multimedia sys selector results in failed tests. How do I fix this? [17:06] atlef: theres really no good replacement for xmms with xmms-mplayer plugin, audacious with a manually built mplayer plugin is almost usable, but doesnt realize it can play as many movie formats as it actually can, so sucks [17:06] navetz, more or less [17:07] thefish: I have a grub> promp [17:07] ok i will try [17:07] who do we gripe to to get xmms back into the hardy repos ;) [17:07] how could they remove it.. [17:07] Hasone, no wrong place [17:07] sparr: That can seriously break things badly... be careful [17:07] Intangir: so why not use any of the other players? [17:07] Intangir: its removed from hardy because its removed from debian unstable, because the package maintainer retired [17:07] dgts123: you place comments anywhereç [17:07] sparr: medibuntu rules though [17:07] hwilde: when I restarted, my internet no longer worked. My ip address and my mask arn't showing up when I do ifconfig. [17:07] dgts123: you can place comments anywhere [17:07] Intangir: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 [17:07] Hasone, you need to edit the boot options [17:07] ok thx x1250 [17:07] hey, can anyone help me? I'm looking for a program that will monitor my bandwidth and email me a notification when I get to a certain amount every month [17:07] hwilde: I disabled my GUI network manager and restarted again, but no luck [17:07] any one know a good online game ? [17:07] Intangir: i had this same discussion a week ago :) [17:07] navetz, I dunno... something is broken. youre interfaces file is correct [17:08] Hasone, did you have a "recovery" kernel option, thats easier [17:08] fde: theres only two active lines in my sources.list , deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main and a cdrom [17:08] Otman: what kind of game? [17:08] Hasone, just reboot again and choose that [17:08] thefish: yeah, I do. [17:08] sparr: well certain functionality with it isnt handled by any other program [17:08] sparr Online game [17:08] fde: others are already commented ! [17:08] thefish: done [17:08] mnuaimat: the cdrom line has a # in front of it right? [17:08] with people always whining about linux having poor multimedia support, it seems a shame that one of its most convenient features is now gone.. [17:08] Hasone, # prompt? [17:08] thefish: yep [17:08] fde: no , but i will comment it now [17:08] Intangir: i agree wholeheartedly. compile your own xmms, like i had to :-p [17:08] Hasone, ok cat /etc/hostname [17:09] Intangir: and if you feel really strongly, adopt the package and bring it back to debian/ubuntu! [17:09] okay, I was having trouble booting, I tried using using Super Grub Disk to fix, and it broke it even more... Now the only way I can get into a usable OS is using a Live CD! Meh, what on earth do I do? [17:09] do USB external modems just work with Linux ? [17:09] thefish: is it possible I could private message you? or do you want this discussion in the logs? [17:09] xmms with xmms-mplayer plugin allows you to have 1 playlist, for all audio formats, all stream audio, and all movies. and is hotkeyable [17:09] If xmms is gone shouldn't the upgrade have replaced the default app in streamtuner with something? [17:09] Otman: role playing, strategy, shooter, tactics, board games, what? [17:09] fde: what should i do with E: Unable to lock the list directory error ?? is there any way but not to restart ? [17:09] totally awesome.. [17:09] sparr: maybe i will ;) [17:09] Scunizi: did it not? [17:09] Hasone, if you want, easier to keep track :) [17:09] sparr no [17:09] mnuaimat: please paste the current /etc/apt/sources.list to ubuntu.paste.com or another pastebin at this point also [17:09] Roleplay and strategy [17:09] what did i just do to my system by hitting ctrl+alt+f5...? (i didnt read anything that told me to do that) === jantet is now known as Pyro120 [17:09] Scunizi: bug [17:09] fde: ok [17:09] UGH... paste.ubuntu.com [17:09] sparr Roleplay and strategy [17:09] my laptop has a fingerprint scanner, are there any apps in linux that make use of this? [17:10] sparr: ok.. I'll report it.. but in the mean time what do I install to get it working? [17:10] thefish: nm. i'm not registered. [17:10] Otman: real web-based, or flash? [17:10] Scunizi: not a clue, i dont use streamtuner [17:10] hwilde: when I try to ping my gateway it now says that network is unreachable? I tried restarting the network interfaces again, but it didn't seem to do the trick. Is there something else I need to restart possibly? [17:10] peeps[work]: yes [17:10] mnuaimat: it's paste.ubuntu.com ... I need more coffee [17:10] Sparr Not flash just a good game 3d ... [17:10] Otman: what sorts of games you like? [17:10] fde: lol [17:10] Otman: web based non-flash 3d? i dont think that exists [17:10] sparr, such as? [17:10] fde i like Online games [17:10] navetz, kill the ntwork manager again and then set it with ifconfig /sbin/route and see [17:10] peeps[work]: dont remember. give me a sec [17:10] Hasone, ok no worries - when you "cat /etc/hostname" you should see your computer name [17:11] peeps[work]: I know I read once, somewhere, that yes, but I don't have any more info :( [17:11] Sparr i just want a game to download and install ... [17:11] okay. i forgot my default keyborad layout is kinda iffy: I don't normally use it. I have to look it up >< [17:11] Otman: "download and install" is not a web game... [17:11] when I boot up it gets to grub, then it says "mount: only root can do that" over and over. then it says "mkdir cannot create directory /var/run/network: Read only filesystem" any suggestions? [17:11] wheres the debian development channel? [17:11] Otman, try Battle For Wesnoth [17:11] sparr yes Online means : Multiplayer get it ? [17:11] hwilde: it says error fetching interface information: device not found [17:11] Intangir: best of luck, they hate ubuntu primaries [17:11] Otman: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree sun-java6-plugin gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg <-- restart firefox, and know yourself out :) [17:11] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9235/ [17:11] Hasone, now this needs to be in /etc/hosts also, so cat /etc/hosts, and check there is a line like "127.0.1.1 computername" [17:11] Otman: yes, but you still contradicted yourself [17:12] screw it, maybe i can instead get audacious to handle it correctly [17:12] I'm on Hardy on a Core Duo iMac. Trying to enable Desktop Effects doesn't work. I think my computer can handle it... how can I enable it? [17:12] Sparr THanks any way hehe [17:12] thats probably a better solution [17:12] navetz, ifconfig eth0 up [17:12] how do i list my installed plugins in firefox? [17:12] hey tanath, i just had to go in failsafe and install the ATI drivers :D [17:12] I'm having trouble getting this to work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 can someone help? I'm on Hardy. (x7) [17:12] is there some way to tell whether I'm running on Ubuntu from the command line? uname -a doesn't seem to have the string 'ubuntu' in it [17:12] k20a: goto tools, addons ;) [17:12] k20a: about:plugins [17:12] Jpeg9001, yeah, drivers were my next guess [17:13] Hasone, any joy? [17:13] Jpeg9001, so all is well? [17:13] mnuaimat: you probably want to add 'restricted multiverse universe' but now try 'sudo apt-get upgrade' (for now we're not doing dist-upgrade, well do that after, should make it go more smooth) [17:13] could someone do me a huge favor? look up the 'dvorak spanish' layout and tell me where / is? [17:13] well i can access my consoles and gnome starts whithout problem [17:13] hahaha [17:13] laters [17:13] mnuaimat: you can take them out again later, but if you've gotten anything from any of those previously, you'll need to update them along with everything else. [17:13] fde: ok gimme a minutes plz [17:13] peeps[work]: thinkfinger is one [17:13] or tell me how to switch keyboard layouts on the command line?

[17:41] thefish: one - too many [17:41] sudo help me [17:41] :) [17:41] Hello. [17:41] nice_burger: so you burned it as an image? and not as an data cd? [17:41] fde, it does nothing but bring me to another prompt :/ [17:41] Why do companies like EA not design games for linux? [17:41] thefish: either dpkg-reconfigure -a or dpkg --reconfigure -a [17:41] nice_burger: is there 1 .iso file on the cd or is there lots of file, you should have lots of files on it [17:41] mysterycool: no money [17:41] atlef: not really [17:42] atlef: they could still sell their products [17:42] hi there you all [17:42] hello [17:42] goingbacktowindo: hah... just lspci then, usually Wireless NIC's are called something pertaining to wireless :) [17:42] how is it going? [17:42] Hasone, please read from fde and soundray, i added one too many -'s in there :) [17:42] hello blipblip [17:42] atleft: like cedega. it's not free but it's for linux =] [17:42] would the server in my country have a different collection as the main server, or are all repos the same ? (xcept for language ..?.. Or is everything everywhere ?) [17:42] thefish: if you mean default gateway of the server, then yes. [17:42] mysterycool: we do not pay for anything:-) [17:42] goingbacktowindo, - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/CompaqW200 [17:42] follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto but it does seem to be full of dirs and files, not a single iso [17:42] fde, lsusb shows this Bus 001 Device 003: ID 049f:0033 Compaq Computer Corp. 802.11b Adapter [orinoco] [17:42] thefish: did you mean 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' or 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure somepackage'? (Hasone) [17:42] navetz, ok and can you ping server from laptop? [17:42] drivetrax, exactly, that's the one wiki page I followed and it didnt work :( [17:42] Server for programs I mean, of course; you know, apt [17:42] so sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a? [17:42] atlef: yes but like i said, there are products for linux where u need to pay like cedega. [17:43] I have no sound in VLC after Hardy. What to do? [17:43] nice_burger: what program did you use? [17:43] how do i invert a patternmatch, like if [ not m/\// ]; then... ? [17:43] atlef, infra recorder [17:43] Hasone: no [17:43] mysterycool: cedega is wine [17:43] goingbacktowindo: It would have to be a USB wireless heh... brb though [17:43] soundray, Hasone its dpkg-reconfigure -a [17:43] drivetrax, I followed the guide verbatim and nothing error'd out and I had no problems. It just simply doesn't work unlike what the guide says [17:43] atlef:no [17:43] hey, how do I install bitlbee on 6.06? [17:43] yes [17:43] atlef: cedega works with wine [17:43] thefish, Hasone: no, it isn't [17:43] should hardy show updates? i dont see any ? [17:43] mysterycool: there was a company, loki, that tried to make linux ports of games. problem was they used time doing it, and the games was out-dated when they finally was released for linux [17:43] and cedega costs $70 =] [17:43] mysterycool: i think they just havent come up with a business model for the linux environment, they day they figure that out, they'll come [17:43] thefish: yes I can ping the server from the laptop. [17:43] mysterycool: haha [17:43] apt-get install bitlbee and aptitude bitlbee don't work [17:43] cedega or crossover games both cost money [17:44] but they work ok [17:44] for some games [17:44] mysterycool, it is money issue.. linux has rouhly 2% share and not everyone will buy a game.. that means it's not worth the money to develop games for linux.. [17:44] navetz, ok and when you use a web browser on laptop, and put in server's ip, you get nothing? [17:44] alirght, I've typed that in. [17:44] will the hardy cds get updated with whatever bug fixes are released? [17:44] mysterycool: people would rather use win games now, than linux games later [17:44] goingbacktowindo, - ah.. is your wifi on your motherboard? [17:44] nice_burger: and you chose to burn as image? [17:44] thefish: yea it doesn't connect [17:44] danbhfive: When 8.04.1 is released, yes. [17:44] still fighting with an error 25 from grub while booting a freshly installed system after the kernel line has been posted in stage 2, anyone an idea? [17:44] drivetrax, to be more specific, the green light on the wifi modem doesn't light up. The wifi modem is attached via USB connection to the top of my lid. [17:44] atlef, yep [17:44] great info on wine and games with it on linux is on http://frankscorner.org/ [17:44] nice_burger: then you need to setup your BIOS to boot from cd [17:44] goingbacktowindo, enable the USB port then [17:45] I have no sound in VLC after Hardy. What to do? [17:45] thefish: also, I can't ping that servers IP address [17:45] navetz, can you "nc server 80", then just type in some junk and ENTER, you should get an html-formatted error [17:45] goingbacktowindo: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-56891.html looks familiar to you I suppose? [17:45] nice_burger: is there 1 file or many files on the cd? [17:45] Mr anderson [17:45] drivetrax, how do you do that? Fn+F2 enables the modem in windows. [17:45] but if just somebody would set up an organisation and make really nice games relative to those which are like top 10 games on windows, like Sims, World Of Warcraft, Call of Duty etc... then people would actually turn to linux [17:45] navetz, ah ok theres the problem [17:45] Anyone did basic .htaccess on apache2 ? [17:45] goingbacktowindo, lets see [17:45] I'm doing an upgrade (command line, with do-release-upgrade) from 7.10 to 8.04, and it's giving a bunch of helpful messages (NIS, MySQL, and PostgreSQL stuff) - will these be written to a file as well? (I'm writing them on dead trees right now.) [17:45] Pici: ooo, there is a point release? do you have a link where I could get more info? or is it just for firefox 3 final? [17:45] hello [17:45] Hasone, hows it going there? [17:46] Ist worng to add this lines in my default if i want basic .htaccss ? http://pastebin.com/m5e4688f8 [17:46] fde, nope, let me look at that. [17:46] mysterycool: as I said. loki tried [17:46] danbhfive: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule [17:46] i'm trying to accept something to do with atlas, but when I hit enter nothing happens :( [17:46] heaven here [17:46] mysterycool: we do not game here.:-) [17:46] at what time ubuntu open week wihh happen? nothing happens on that channel... [17:46] Pici: thanks [17:46] navetz, on that server, ifconfig again to check its ip [17:46] ops, will* :P [17:46] thefish: nevermind. [17:46] khamael: and what happened to loki btw? :S [17:46] thefish:L when I try nc server 80 I get forward host lookup failed. But anyway I don't think I have my server hosted online. [17:46] mysterycool: i agree, but the buck stops somewhere, maybe in game advertising or something else to pay, like they do on counterstrike [17:46] heaven is around me [17:46] thefish: ok ive got the ip [17:46] thefish: if apparmor is having problems, whatever that is, is that a problem? [17:46] atlef: exactly. thats my point. [17:47] any idea why i cannot type a capital C in ubuntu? i will type it if i use cap lock [17:47] danbhfive: Apparently it's not even guarantted to have FF3final, although it's likely. They'll be evaluating a bunch of different things to see what makes sense. [17:47] goingbacktowindo, -- is your pc a powerbook? [17:47] zakou: this is a support channel; do you have a support question? [17:47] mysterycool: as i understand it, ea is turning [17:47] Hasone, shouldnt do, unless you configured anything [17:47] atlef: cuz programmers for linux are not interested in developing games [17:47] hello [17:47] atlef: ea is turning? what do u mean? :S [17:47] tonyyarusso: I see [17:47] navetz, you have the server ip? if so, try ping from laptop [17:47] drivetrax, nope, it's a Compaq Evo N610C just like what was "confirmed to work" on that wiki page hah [17:47] mysterycool: but that is not confirmed yet [17:47] !offtopic | atlef mysterycool [17:47] atlef mysterycool: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:47] goingbacktowindo: that actually isn't very helpful... no one really seems to have come up with a solution it would seem [17:47] it's plodding along. [17:47] for some reason my apache is not working on hardy [17:47] sorry [17:47] how said hello the whole [17:47] drivetrax, that's why I believe the wiki page is lying through it's e-teeth about it working. [17:47] mysterycool: they didn`t make (enough) money. the games came half a year after windows release, or longer. those who wanted the games bought the windows version when it came out, and didin`t convert to linux [17:47] thefish: i can't ping the server ip from the laptop, it wont work. [17:47] Hasone, is that with the reconfigure? [17:47] um ,yeah -_- [17:48] thefish: all packets are lost [17:48] crap, #bitlbee doesn't exist [17:48] try to say mine to know you [17:48] zakou /j #ubuntu-offtopic for chat thanks [17:48] I have no sound in VLC after Hardy. What to do? [17:48] thefish: yeah. [17:48] navetz, did you set up a firewall on the server? [17:48] Oggu: just vlc or system-wide? [17:48] oggu have you tried using alsa instead? what about another app [17:48] thefish: no I installed ubuntu server edition and thats it === zakou_ is now known as Mr [17:48] fde, yeah, I've actually been researching this, beating my wife etc for about 4 months (goes all the way back to Gutsy) and I have stumped everyone here several times over hehe [17:49] come on [17:49] brb [17:49] goingbacktowindo, -- http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?12,4546 [17:49] goingbacktowindo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo I take it you've followed this? You said the modules are loaded etc, so it's got to be something with your software... [17:49] goingbacktowindo, determine if the USB port is working [17:49] I need to know how to get the repositories needed to upgrade my server or to get bitlbee without them [17:49] navetz, do you have any other computers on the network, connected in the same way as server? [17:49] My modified xorg.conf doesn't seem to work, i get the displayconfig-gtk tool prompted at login and the Xorg.0.log says it used "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" as a config file. How can see what went wrong with the original xorg.conf? [17:49] navetz, all i can think is that maybe there is some routing issue then [17:49] thefish: btw, though you said it might not be useful, I've got the alternate install cd 15 mins away from being finished downloading [17:49] fde, yup, followed it verbatim. [17:49] gnuskool, there are many files, as I said [17:50] drivetrax, I'm not sure how to determine that, is there a command or something I should use? [17:50] Hasone, hehe ok [17:50] thefish: do I have to set up a DNS ? [17:50] lol form their website: Loki is closed. Thanks for your patronage. [17:50] atlef, do i do that when GRUB is starting up, i think i know how to [17:50] navetz, not for connecting directly with ip address no [17:50] goingbacktowindo: looked at this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/prism2_usb [17:50] goingbacktowindo, -- follow that url > http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?12,4546 [17:50] gnuskool, bazhang: Just vlc, working in firefox, in rhytmbox i cant even start a aong [17:50] goingbacktowindo: you device is mentioned there as a "Compaq/Intel W100 PRO/Wireless 11Mbps multiport WLAN Adapter" [17:50] nice_burger: missed you the 1st time, lots of ppl talking here...well id say look in your bios settings if 'boot from cd' is your primary boot [17:50] song* [17:50] same pci id [17:51] thefish: humm, well this is weird because I am using a static IP [17:51] what is best to backup my Ubuntu ? in Windows i use BartPE CD with GHOST ...

[17:51] wow [17:51] brane: Basically, it depends on your own needs. I'm finding sbackup to be best suited for me right now. [17:51] navetz, you have laptop === access point === hub === server ?

[17:52] fde, yes, tried linux-wlan-ng back in my Gutsy days with no luck :( [17:52] thanks lot ! [17:52] bazhang: I had a flash loding, now no flash, stil ldont work [17:52] goingbacktowindo, so it is a 100.. not 200.. and multiport WLAN [17:52] is upgrading ubuntu supported through ssh? [17:52] thefish: I'm getting a bunch of undefined kernel k.ey codes for some reason [17:52] goingbacktowindo: ahh... I have a prism2_usb based wireless... but yours should be using 'oronico_cs' (pretend I spelled that correctly) [17:52] When i boot ubuntu it says it cannot detect my graphics card and will run in low gfx mode. But it use to detect it and it use to run fine. I have made no changes since then. [17:52] Hasone, oww [17:52] nice_burger: restart your computer and as soon as it beeps, before even loading windows press delete or F1 and you will go into your bios setup [17:52] thefish: laptop === wireless === server [17:52] can anyone help me make google earth work ?? [17:52] Hasone, is that a new install? [17:52] How can I change the video driver used by ubuntu? [17:52] thefish: as of 6 months ago :) [17:52] Fogel1497, same problem here.. worked fine in previous ubuntu versions [17:53] bazhang: whit firefox closed rhytmbox goes [17:53] gnuskool, i don't have windows, it's gutsy, will your instructions work still? [17:53] mysterycool: the problem with cedega, is that linux-users are spoiled with free software [17:53] thefish: is that really bad? [17:53] drivetrax, not sure haha the drivers pretty much showed up out of box as both orinoco and prism2 [17:53] navetz, ok so the wireless is a hub/switch as well and the server is plugged in to it? [17:53] wow amazing ! [17:53] bazhang: and sound in vlc aswell [17:53] lol XD [17:53] bazhang: Why this? [17:53] Hasone, could be just your locale [17:53] Hasone, its still doing stuff though ye? [17:53] oggu that is a bug; until it is fixed have to live with just the one but not both [17:53] sigh [17:53] khamael: not really, it's just that crossover games is a lot better :) [17:53] dtgs123: Its annoying as hell. I guess thats the consequence of being an early adopter [17:53] okej [17:53] nice_burger: ya, as soon as it restarts press delete or f1....you want to catch it before an operating sustem loads up [17:53] asizemore: what are you sighing about? [17:53] bazhang: is it reported? [17:53] fde, I have 3 interfaces that show up, lo, eth0 & wlan0 [17:54] I wish I had more patience about this crap [17:54] oggu yep [17:54] thefish: yep. asking me all sorts of silly questions. like if I want dash over bash. of course I want bash. I can bash things with bash. [17:54] Oggu: sorry thought it might be a system prob, not too sure otherwise [17:54] hehehe [17:54] gnuskool, k thanks, doing it now. [17:54] I can only dash fast with dash. [17:54] goingbacktowindo, you try lsusb with and without the device plugged in? [17:54] goingbacktowindo: but both prism2_usb and orinico_cs are wireless modules... they could be arguing with each other, or could be wrong module reported. [17:54] thefish: maybe, I am not 100% sure where they are all pluged in. But I know that the server is a static ip directly from the ISP. the laptop is connected wirelessly to somewhere. Not sure exactly where. [17:54] Hasone, ok cool - if a config got broken, this is how it will be fixed [17:54] drivetrax, lemme check [17:54] pop: crossover wine? [17:55] anyone know if the latest ubuntu supports the wifi card in the mac pro? [17:55] fde, I'm just sighing because I am waiting for answers and I don't think I've even been seen :P [17:55] navetz, so the server has 2 ip addresses? [17:55] wine is awesome [17:55] so any ideas on how to see why xorg.conf failed and xorg.conf.failsafe was used? [17:55] drivetrax, it doesn't show when I turn the adapter off with lsusb, but if I motion to turn the adapter on it does show in lsusb [17:55] khamael: crossover games. [17:55] thefish: no just one static ip. [17:55] hi, during the booting of hardy i see a blurred screen, until the login-screen is present. ugly. what can I do? [17:55] navetz, because if you are trying to connect to its public ip, then its a loopback connection, and most of the time those will be dropped [17:55] asizemore: ask your question again then... this is a rapid moving channel, hard to catch all question... ask around every 5-10 mins maybe someone will know. [17:55] dgts123: have you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [17:55] goingbacktowindo, might try to take out the prism driver [17:55] fde, is there a way to tell which wireless module is showing currently? [17:56] yeah, I just don't want to get yelled at again for asking too often [17:56] drivetrax, how is that done? [17:56] khamael: commercial wine, except they actually help wine out and not rip off money off them (like cedega is). [17:56] Arkaic, yep, it only reports what happened during using the failsafe one [17:56] but, is upgrading ubuntu supported over ssh? [17:56] y'know, I might be crazy, but right now I used gedit instead of emacs. [17:56] goingbacktowindo: NetworkManager will tell you in the applet thing... right click > Connection Information [17:56] is hardy not working hardy? [17:56] i try to use fsck but i got worning ? is it safe ? [17:57] fde, it doesn't hehe just shows ip address and such [17:57] dgts123: nothing useful in dmesg either? [17:57] Hasone: I still use vim [17:57] goingbacktowindo: You really don't need to have 2 wireless NIC modules loaded though... orinico or whatever shows up alongside prism? [17:57] thefish: it said wrote /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/debian-startup.elc, then it said Done, and now it's just sitting there. [17:57] Arkaic, will check [17:57] thefish: that may be whats happening. But it is my understanding that this is a static IP bought from the ISP. I thought a staic ip was suppose to go directly to the server. [17:57] navetz, what is the netmask there for both server and laptop? [17:57] thefish: nm. [17:57] goingbacktowindo: Should have a Driver: line? [17:57] brane : from,live CD [17:57] navetz, possibly, is your server directly connected to internet, or you have a router? [17:57] fde, I believe mine is to be used with orinoco and not prism2 as windows reports it to be a w200 and not a w100 for prism2 [17:57] pop: sharing is good ;) [17:57] ok is it simular to chkdsk ? [17:57] thefish: now it's asking me if I want fdmount to execute with root privileges. do I? [17:58] fde, nope, sorry. No driver line that way [17:58] where can I find the firefox icon ? where is it stored ?? [17:58] Hasone, just go with defaults, they are all pretty sane [17:58] Arkaic, for what exactly should i look in the output of dmesg? [17:58] fde, sorry, I have e100 in "Driver" lol [17:58] thefish: how long you been doing this linux/ubuntu thing? [17:58] what wildcard to i use to copy all files beginning with ax to a different folders. [17:58] Hasone, do you even have a floppy drive? [17:58] Now, we can load up the driver for this device: [17:58] sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x4348 product=0x5523 [17:58] Finally, check dmesg again to ensure it loaded properly. [17:58] thefish: maybe? [17:58] fde, but I am connected via wired connection so I believe that driver is for it. The wireless shows "prism2" in "Driver" [17:58] hey, is upgrading ubuntu supported over ssh? [17:58] Hasone: check /usr/share/pixmaps [17:58] Is it possible to stream videos from websites using mplayer or some other player in console? [17:59] goingbacktowindo, fde -- the vendor will be different for the e100 [17:59] goingbacktowindo: also, Linux reports it as a orinoco... so yeah... 'echo blacklist prism2_usb >> /etc/modules.d/blacklist' and restart :) (provided orinoco-cs is listed in lsmod) [17:59] dthacker-work: anything to do with xorg or the video card [17:59] Hasone, not sure, a few years now though :) [17:59] ack [17:59] dgts123, that is [17:59] is it safe to disable evolutions alarm notifier at startup through the sessions menu? [17:59] can any one tell me how i can install from usb? [17:59] goingbacktowindo: e100 is your wired NIC [17:59] Hasone, you are back to a prompt now? [17:59] thefish: it's stuck on something, but it was stuck on --- nervemind. it's doing something with fonts. I'll just wait here. [17:59] thefish: nope. [17:59] fde, correct [17:59] goingbacktowindo: that should be fine [17:59] ok [18:00] ok [18:00] Hasone, aah fonts, that will take a little while [18:00] the wired is e100 [18:00] I recently lost my system drive and when I reinstalled I lost my home directory files that I had on a software raid setup. Is it possible to reclaim those files? Or will the configuring of the raid software/driver format the partitions? [18:00] fde, ok, I'll try the blacklist bit and restart to see if it works [18:00] hey, is upgrading ubuntu supported over ssh? [18:00] yes blacklist the prism [18:00] goingbacktowindo: first... 'lsmod | grep orinoco' returns things? [18:00] navetz, my guess is you have internet === router === server [18:00] is it safe to prevent evolutions alarm notifier from starting up if i dont even use evolutions apps? [18:00] thefish: thanks I got it working, there was some redirection issues, thanks for the help. [18:00] fde, yes let me pastebin for you [18:00] now we're on CUPS - which I've never had the good fortune to use because there are tons of computers in my house I just send files to to print. [18:01] what wildcard to i use to copy all files beginning with ax to a different folders. [18:01] goingbacktowindo: no need, if it does... just do the blacklist command :) [18:01] navetz, no worries, glad you came right :) [18:01] mak1084 : http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [18:01] fde, http://pastebin.com/m107b8f06 [18:01] goingbacktowindo: you SHOULD be all set once the kernel stops being confused :) [18:01] thefish: now update-iniramfs. I don't linke the idea that the ram filesystem is being messed with while the ram is being used. [18:01] how do you mount a software raid?

[18:08] goingbacktowindo: echo 'blacklist prism2_usb' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist <-- inside the provided active shell [18:08] interactive* [18:08] mysterycool: what would be good for linux, was if not only they ported games to linux, but made them cheaper. we are allowed to dream [18:08] thefish: what was the shorter command going to be? actually, I don't want to know. [18:08] Istvan- there should be some instructions for that on the wine homepage [18:08] khamael: All games must be open source! down with games! [18:08] Hasone :and his thiniking machine [18:08] goingbacktowindo: make sure the >> is there though... else it'll replace everything... >> will put it at the bottem of that file.

I disabled all the additional repos (eg. Medibuntu, innotek, canonical partner) and I cleaned the package status using "apt-get clean" and "apt-get autoremove". Now I have some non official Ubuntu packages, such as mplayer (medibuntu), ffmpeg (medibuntu), skype, googleearth, canon cups driver, virtualbox. Can I begin the upgrade or I have to do some more actions? Thanks! [18:08] so I want to upgrade to hardy, but dist-upgrade uses /tmp to download the files, and my / partition is too small. Is there some way to tell dist-upgrade to use i.e a folder on my /home partition in stead? [18:08] I have a question, I just installed heron 8.04 and would like to install Kompozer - has anyne installed it on the new heron OS?

No permission denied or anything, but no output saying it worked or not hehe [18:09] thefish: killing it while update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.5.22-14-generic won't hurt it?

[18:09] i use lot time on internet this days ... how i can be sure that my Ubuntu do not have viruses ? [18:09] Istvan- then i can't help you,haven't had much success with wine myself X_X [18:09] filthpig: yes. you can use a temporary simbolic link, but you have to log off from X first [18:09] The new version opens an antivirus and after that conquer stops loading [18:10] Hasone, whats it doing now? [18:10] generating locales... [18:10] fde, cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | tail -nl tail: l: invalid number of lines [18:10] en-IN.UTF-8... [18:10] Istvan- i really have no clue then. [18:10] Hasone, you use a 2.5.x kernel? [18:10] goingbacktowindo: there shouldn't have been output... we directed it to that file instead of a stdin [18:10] is that a "one" and not an "L" [18:10] Bravewolf, cool, do you have a walkthrough for it? [18:10] 2.6.x. [18:10] goingbacktowindo: it's a 1 [18:10] :) [18:10] thefish: I'm pretty sure. [18:10] fde, haha ok, I got this blacklist prism2_usb [18:11] Someone knows how to play Conquer Online with wine ? (I want some good instructions not the tutorial on winehq) [18:11] hi, does anybody know any program to detect wifi connections, such windows xp wifi center??? [18:11] Istvan- have you googled your issue? [18:11] Yes [18:11] good going fde.. [18:11] goingbacktowindo: that says "give me 1 lines at the tail end of the file" [18:11] And I didn't find nothing relevant [18:11] thefish: I'm scared to kill it. can I run configure concurrently? [18:11] could anybody help me with sound issuse? [18:11] Istvan- i see.good luck then. [18:11] fde, cool :D I'm learning hah [18:11] Hasone, probably ye [18:11] help me please [18:11] drivetrax: haha... I should have just gotten him to edit the file manually... but I thought it'd be easier to just throw it in there... [18:11] thefish: If I kill it and my system gets messed up, you'll help me fix it? [18:12] Hasone, of course :) [18:12] fde - unplug the device [18:12] because the new patch was introduced now and the websites are not saying how to pass the antivirus check which blocs co from loading [18:12] If I'm on dapper, what is the best way to upgrade to hardy? just direct upgrade? [18:12] goingbacktowindo: ok... now restart... once the kernel isn't confused, what you've done before SHOULD work. [18:12] is it safe to upgrade to hardy yet,or is it still generally buggy? [18:12] fde, so now reboot and pray? [18:12] Hasone, but that means you owe me beer [18:12] unplug device [18:12] thefish: in that case, let's go! [18:12] Istvan :try on wine forums [18:12] fde, ok, thanks a million for the help, you too drivetrax :D bbl (hopefully on wifi) [18:12] drivetrax: reboot else he has to restart networking and nm ... [18:12] Can anyone please assist me with a wireless issue? [18:12] goingbacktowindo: yup [18:12] goingbacktowindo: come back either way though [18:12] check for viruses ! how to do thats in eyecandy Ubuntu ? [18:12] thefish: what was that command again? [18:12] fde, will do [18:12] wifi needs that.. I didn't know [18:12] cheers! [18:13] Hasone, dpkg --configure -a [18:13] heck, I learned too [18:13] I don't have any sound in ubuntu.. what should i do.. [18:13] does anybody know any wifi ''radar'' application??? (please, no wifi connections crackers) [18:13] ok, quick question: why can't I move a window above the top of the screen using Compiz? [18:13] sylar_: Did you update your alsa-drivers? [18:13] it didn't say anything [18:13] and I typed sudo dpkg --configure -a [18:13] maybe I put in the wrong sudo password [18:13] !compiz > cellofellow [18:13] openuser: wifi-radar comes to mind. [18:13] openuser: wifi-radar? wicd ? [18:13] cellofellow, the top is a cap, and the bottom is a cap [18:13] openuser: and NetworkManager [18:13] brane :why do you want to do that [18:13] Solusian:I don't have sound in 7.10 also I have upgraded to 8.04 and still no sound [18:14] no, I put in the right sudo password === jensp_ is now known as jensp [18:14] thefish: still have my problem [18:14] filthpig: first of all logout form X. the disable gdm (or kdm) using e.g sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:14] Hasone, just a mo [18:14] zvacet: i want to install from pendrive not into pendrive... [18:14] thefish: kk [18:14] i be watching same porn site sory ! [18:14] cellofellow: wifi manager seem to don't work in my computer, it don't has the scan option [18:14] drivetrax: it's the Cube Caps plugin then? [18:14] Bravewolf, but why? [18:14] brane- :) [18:14] mak1084 : O.K. [18:14] cellofellow, no, you can't place windows on top nor bottom [18:14] mak1084: Not really an Ubuntu issue... if your BIOS can boot from the device, do that, else you can't. [18:15] hi, i'm trying to creat an adhoc network between my ubuntu hardy and a vista, can someone help me? [18:15] brane : you can not be infected by just watching [18:15] in Windows i use 50 % time for chech viruses ! [18:15] release wine 0.9.60 in repo ubuntu [18:15] openuser: well, wifi-radar and NetworkManager (the default) can't be mixed, AFAIK. [18:15] lo all [18:15] brane : windows viruses work in windows,not in linux [18:15] filthpig: wait, i'm writing (because gnome creates some temporary files in /tmp) [18:15] Hasone, missus on line one ;) [18:16] realy ! [18:16] brane: You still should check for them, don't want to pass on anything unknowingly heh [18:16] thefish: go forth, young man! [18:16] Hasone, ok so its just returned you to the prompt again? [18:16] so I'm trying to use rdiff-backup and my acl entries are getting dropped, even though the file system I'm backing up to/from both support acl (just for the mounted partitions where and are stored, not the whole file system). Any ideas what might be wrong? [18:16] Bravewolf, alright, /me hangs on :) [18:16] thefish: yep [18:16] !lnw | brane [18:16] brane: Want to know the differences between Windows and Linux? This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [18:16] thefish: do I have to go back to reconfigure? [18:16] Hasone, ok "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [18:16] drivetrax: a window can be moved to the bottom of the screen until the border hits it, but it can't be moved to the top. That is, unless I move it while using Expo. [18:16] I got !Avast for windows.. and Linux. I liked it, and went an got it for Linux.. [18:17] E: Various index files couldn't be download and were ignored. Used old files in their place. [18:17] filthpig: then creates your new /tmp folder, e.g. mkdir /home/username/tmp [18:17] hello, i'm using ubuntu hardy heron with autologin and ndiswrapper for my atheros AR5006EG wireless card, keyring manager is asking me the keyring main password everytime nm-applet finds my WPA2 secure network. How can i make keyring manager not to ask me that anymore and still have autologin? [18:17] I noticed that tracker and tracker applet are in my startup programs, do i need this? [18:17] Hasone, there were 2 commands there, dpkg-reconfigure -a reconfigures every single package, dpkg --configure -a configures ones that are downloaded but not configured (like what happens when you crash when upgrading) [18:17] Expo.. yes.. [18:17] any of you check for viruses or sleep normal ? [18:17] Hasone, does it want to do upgrades with that command? [18:17] thefish: yeah. [18:17] <_moro_bana_> long live ubuntu long live!!!!!!!!!! [18:17] brane- viruses? [18:18] Hasone, cool do em - is it a lot? [18:18] mccomb: I have been unable to figure that one out myself [18:18] i have an hercules webcam, and ubuntu 8.04. the system recognize it with the command lsusb, but the program skype not. what is wrong? [18:18] thefish: I can't. no internet. [18:18] brane: never done a virus check with linux [18:18] CELL GOT A PANEL UP THERE? [18:18] mccomb: I do not think it works when autologin is enabled [18:18] Hasone, buggery! [18:18] ooops [18:18] thefish: that's what I've downloaded the alternate cd for. [18:18] ok i then use sbackup for be sure ... [18:18] filthpig: then make a symbolic link like this: "sudo ln -s /home/username/tmp /tmp" and change the permisssion to the folder using "sudo chmod 777 /home/username/tmp". [18:18] Hasone, ok, lets get that working then - do you use dhcp in your net? [18:18] I noticed that tracker and tracker applet are in my startup programs, do i need this? [18:18] uh... it's wi-fi. [18:19] anyone know how to change the icon for the menu-bar [18:19] filthpig: so if you try to use /tmp the system should use /home/username/tmp instead. [18:19] and my old internet connection icon dissapeared. I dunno what happened to it. [18:19] Hasone, any chance of wired for a bit? [18:19] swmiller6: google for that one :) [18:19] thefish: nope. my ethernet port is bupkis. [18:19] Paddy_EIRE: Those are not working [18:20] should i upgrade to hardy or are there some bugs still to be fixed until the first major update? [18:20] Hasone, bugger, ok wireless is definately not my strong point - ive been lucky with it! what wlan nic is it? [18:20] swmiller6: those what?? http://strabes.wordpress.com/2006/10/16/change-the-menu-bar-logo-on-ubuntu-dapper/ [18:20] hi - can anyone help me with a google earth problem? [18:20] fde, it's me, goingbacktowindo blacklisting prism2 doesn't seem to work. [18:20] swmiller6: works perfectly fine [18:20] thefish: I have no idea. [18:20] thefish: are you sure the cd can't help? [18:20] cellofellow, click in the panel where your virtual desktops are .. that makes the panels and stuff go away, and then look [18:20] Paddy_EIRE: tried that yesterday did not owrk [18:20] Bravewolf, and then I can restart gnome, or do I have to run upgrade from console? and also, the symlink.. will it still be around after reboot? [18:20] filthpig: at this point you can begin the upgrade using the X interface or using "sudo do-release-upgrade" === paranic__ is now known as paranic [18:20] ah :) [18:21] xomp: dmesg | grep NetworkManager <-- that return anything enlightening as to why? [18:21] Hasone, at this stage, ye i think it might - are you thinking of doing a reinstall or upgrading from it? [18:21] Paddy_EIRE, okay... do you know if there's any other network manager than the gnome-network-manager and wicd? [18:21] fde, or atleast I don't think so haha, lsusb still shows the Compaq orinoco showing, but I'm not sure if its working as the green light isn't coming on. [18:21] thinking of finishing the upgrade with it, thefish [18:21] Hardy is fairly sound. [18:21] indeed [18:21] upgrade for me was good [18:21] fde, dmesg | grep NetworkManager retuned nothing just another prompt [18:21] filthpig: the symlink will disapper after reboot. You can upgrade from Gnome of from Command Line. It should be indifferent. [18:21] Hasone, ok not a bad idea, spose you dont need wlan with that [18:22] evilbug: i have thus far only had 1 bug, to do with policykit unlocking the 'services' tab, other an that it works fine on my thinkpad laptop [18:22] mccomb: not sure.. [18:22] Bravewolf, sweetness, thanks [18:22] I noticed that tracker and tracker applet are in my startup programs, do i need this? [18:22] cellofellow, -- I wanted an invisible cube.. with just windows in mid-air, but the panels and caps are set to a grid creating the cube, and the tray and panel.. and the grid will always show a square at the top and bottom, thin lines [18:22] Bravewolf, urr I did not call -you- "sweetness", lol :P [18:22] filthpig: you're welcome. [18:22] gnuskool- i tried upgrading the day after it came out and i've only had trouble with it so i downgraded back to gutsy. [18:22] Anyone knowledgeable on wifi issues? Please PM me. I have an issue where it used to work, but suddenly cannot acquire a network address anymore. [18:22] cgentry72, not of you dont want them to run at startup [18:23] thefish: trying to burn it as we speak. [18:23] Hasone, coolio [18:23] DShepherd, do i need it at all? [18:23] gnuskool- i was thinking maybe some problem with the download since the servers were stressed. [18:23] hey, is upgrading ubuntu supported over ssh? [18:23] hi, how can i create a wireless network with my ubuntu hardy? [18:23] Looking to find out if hardy supports the PERC 5i controller. Some forum posts from 2 years ago indicated some issues. [18:23] <[Yogh]> Salutations ! [18:23] xomp: System > Administration > Network looks alright, and you have chosen the Wired Connection and configured it correctly via NetworkManager in the panel? [18:23] would this be the way to find out if theres no leading "/" ind $dir? if [[ ! $dir=~m/^\// ]]; then ... [18:23] gnuskool- so i'd just like to know if it's safe now,a week later,or should i wait for the next milestone. [18:23] malcolmpdx: Have you tried asking in #ubuntu-server ? [18:23] cgentry72, tracker indexes files so you can find them via the tracker search tool. if you dont care about it then leave it out. its not a need [18:23] Pici - no, I'll do that. Thanks [18:23] I need to upgrade ubuntu and my only connection so far is through SSH [18:24] xomp: I have to guess now where exactly you are, so bare with me... [18:24] DShepherd, thanks [18:24] cgentry72, your welcome [18:24] xomp: NetworkManager will let you use wpa_supplicant and friends to identify to the WAP... [18:24] fde, in "Network" i have only "eth0 Wired Connection" and "Point to Point Connection". I do not see the "wlan0" interface anymore. [18:24] thefish: the downloader seems confused. [18:24] xomp: Add it again :) [18:24] Hasone, i need to go, but will try to get back in about 20 mins or so [18:24] what application use ubuntu 8.04 to configure nfs shared folders??? [18:24] Hasone, downloader confused? [18:24] thefish: alright. [18:24] evilbug: i'd say its safe, i read the howtoforge.com 'perfect upgrade gutsy to hardy' and it went smooth [18:25] fde, add what again? hehe [18:25] hiya [18:25] hi - can anyone help me with a google earth problem? [18:25] thefish: it's DAP. and it says 99% done but the progress bar i less than that. [18:25] gnuskool- i was just going to run the update manager to upgrade. [18:25] xomp: The wireless! [18:25] arrrgh [18:25] fde, ok, Fn+F2 here we go! === zeco_ is now known as zeco2 [18:26] the nautilus generated thumbnails in Hardy suck! how can I fix that, thunar seems to do it just fine. How we shipped nautilus with such a drawback? [18:26] fde, ok, I pressed Fn+F2 and I do see wlan0 showing up in "Network" still [18:26] Hasone, never used that, couldnt say. You will probably get asked if you want to add the sources when you insert the cd, if not check out apt-cdrom :) [18:26] thefish: aye-aye [18:26] XOMP [18:27] I'm having problems only being able to run some programs under sudo, is there any way to change this? [18:27] fde, when I press Fn+F2 lsusb shows this "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 049f:0033 Compaq Computer Corp. 802.11b Adapter [orinoco]", when I press Fn+F2 again it doesn't show in lsusb [18:27] swmiller6, yes? [18:27] damnit, is it so hard to say yes or no? [18:27] xomp: press cntrl+F2 then type in nm-applet [18:27] anyone know how I can fix this problem with sound mixing? [18:27] px, man sudo and read what sudo is about.. [18:27] I have a feeling that 8.04's sound mixing is somewhat broken in 64bit [18:28] xomp: Hmm, I'm not sure what that key combo does... but perhaps it was the prism2_usb card after all ... can you test that? sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and just change it to orinoco-cs and restart... [18:28] xomp: ahh alt+f2! apple computer? [18:28] fde, nope, it's a compaq :) [18:28] in virtual [18:28] xomp: dunno know about apple maybe I missed something I thoght you were trying to get your network applet back [18:29] What's wrong with my Evolution? It doesn't "know" the shortcut-addresses when typing them? [18:29] xomp: weird... anyways... change the blacklist line to the orinoco modules... add both though, and _ in lsmod is - in that file. [18:29] fde, ok, I remove "blacklist prism2" and put "blacklist orinoco_usb" in it's place? [18:29] Anyone knowledgeable on wifi issues? Please PM me. I have an issue where it used to work, but suddenly cannot acquire a network address anymore. [18:29] xomp: I think it should be 2 lines "blacklist orinoco' ... and 'blacklist orinoco_cs' ... that at least got us started easier. [18:30] xomp: prism2_usb... yes... [18:30] i just installed 8.04 and missing a lot of packages... like c++ and stuff... is there a place to find the common ones that i need? [18:30] xomp: ACTUALLY... you're doing prism2_usb or prism2-usb? [18:30] fde, I had "prims2_usb" blacklisted before [18:31] I can't do anythig while chatting? [18:31] xomp: check again lsmod | grep prism please ... if its there, we blacklisted the wrong thing... else ignore this line and add the orinoco stuff again :) [18:31] prism2_usb [18:31] eXcAliBuR: synaptic package manager [18:32] fde, ok, I'm a bit confused hehe, lets pretend I haven't yet edited the blacklist yet and it still has "blacklist prism2_usb" in it. what should my next step be? hehe [18:32] drivetrax: yes, but the actual module will be prism2-usb I think... the driver is prism2_usb [18:32] hi [18:32] gnuskool: i'm on command line only [18:32] xomp: lsmod | grep prism <-- does that return anything? [18:32] eXcAliBuR: server install? [18:32] xomp:are you trying to get wifi on laptop working [18:32] yuh [18:32] i don't need desktop [18:32] eXcAliBuR, sudo apt-get build-essential [18:33] fde, it didn't return anything [18:33] rwycuff: please don't confuse him. [18:33] rwycuff, yes lol [18:33] thanks Bob [18:33] grep each name [18:33] fde: im not was helping him with this about 2 months back [18:33] hello [18:33] agone, hello [18:33] xomp: ok... then go ahead and type 'sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and change that to the read the 2 orinoco modules. orinoco_cs and orinoco itself... that should at least get us the USB device back...

[18:34] np [18:34] hi, is tracker file indexing necessary for stability & performance, or is it only for its file search capability? [18:34] <[Lowkey]> Can someone help me? Everytime I try to unrar a rar file it gives me this error: The filename "LstS02E07_GrY.part1.rar" indicates that this file is of type "RAR archive". I have unrar installed and yesterday it worked fine. Please help. [18:34] xomp: the wlan0 device back... without the kernel being confused again :) [18:34] fde, ok, I did however lsmod all the names and only orinoco showed up [18:34] try 7zip [18:34] the program 'yelp' crashes mysteriously with a segmentation fault...was happening in 7.10 too [18:34] <[Lowkey]> ok [18:34] xomp: it going bye bye when not using prism2_usb tells us that it's not orinoco, so that shouldn't be loading... hence blacklist them [18:35] hi. I'm having problems with my ssh client. I can't slogin anywhere. when I turn on debug mode I get as far as 'SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received' and then the session hangs. any ideas? [18:35] xomp: ok... blacklist that one only... [18:35] fde, ok, I blacklisted orinoco and orinoco_cs [18:35] is upgrading my system from ubuntu server 7.10 to 8.04 from the command line a good idea? [18:35] im trying to upgrade from gutsy to hardy, and I've been restarting the process a few times. The first time, it seemed to be using the packages on the alternate cd, now it has stopped trying to use those packages. How can I get the upgrader to use the cd? [18:35] Sake: depends on the commands you plan to use to do it [18:35] since upgrading to hardy when I open the "network" dialog, it doesn't ask for password, and everything is greyed out. [18:36] xomp: would seem orinoco_cs is used by prism2_usb if it's not showing up now... so remove that line from blacklist again, sorry. [18:36] snask: i know a bit about sudo, i've installed google earth and it'll run but it'll only login to the server and show the "earth" if i run it under sudo, is there anyway to change this? [18:36] Morydd: press the unlock button [18:36] Myrtti: so what's the safest bet? I heard I can just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace gutsy with hardy, the do apt-get update then apt-get dist-upgrade [18:36] it is incorporate in hardy cd now I think [18:36] i read story about sbackup and conclude that is similar to restore point in XP .... [18:36] Sake: that's about the worse you could do [18:36] ;-= [18:36] fde, no worries, it is removed. I only have "blacklist orinoco" in there now [18:36] xomp: SO... instead of blacklist prism2_usb ... it should now read only 'blacklist orinoco' to clearify [18:36] Myrtti: Good to know, what's the best? :) [18:36] Myrtti: the unlock button is greyed out as well., [18:36] fde, yes [18:36] xomp: ok... restart again... that SHOULD get us wlan0 back :) [18:36] Hey all!

[18:43] TwoD: when i done sudo apt-get autoremove as it asked me too then after it did this poped up ''0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.'' how do i find the 7 that are not upgraded and then upgrade them? [18:43] (On a wired connection momentarily) [18:44] david_-_-: so that command didnt work? [18:44] david_-_-, I just thought you were asking, judging by what you said to danbhfive [18:44] fde, cool, is there a way I can scan for networks just to test if this is working? [18:44] david_-_-: sudo aptitude upgrade [18:44] hi [18:44] xomp: If it sees any, it should list them in the left click menu afaik [18:44] david_-_-: I think I got confused by what you said, im sorry === disc is now known as Discipulus [18:45] david_-_-, I don't think you can upgrade those because there are no versions for Hardy yet.

Sometimes packages are held back because they arent just newer versions, they are part of a new distribution. SO, that command can upgrade your version of hardy. I think :p [18:47] xomp: I believe so, yes... Create new wireless network is likely what you want for now...

[18:52] TwoD, i've tried changing mirrors too [18:52] Is there ANY other way to boost your volume than putting the Master channel on alsamixer to 50? [18:52] hello, I know it might not be a huge issue but when I have compiz enabled I have this odd graphical glitch were if a admin password dialog comes up when I put the password in correctly and the dialog goes away it doesn't redraw the screen other then were the desired application the dialog started is put, the rest of the screen stays darkened unless I do something liek drag a window all over the screen or activate the cube [18:52] fde, I don't think it will connect to the wifi network, it stopped churning the little globe thing and I'm still on hard wired :P [18:52] artti, i think theres a mdf2iso app that you can convert to iso if you want [18:52] What is good firewall for 7.10 ?

You know Hardy upgrade disables 3rd party repos. Maybe check and see if you need to enable them again? [18:52] Bravewolf, my home has 60+ GB free space... [18:52] xomp: Did you choose the Wireless connection from the applicable list? [18:52] i downloaded the ati driver, but how do i start the setup? (it's a .run file) [18:53] thefish, mdf2iso says unknown format [18:53] danbhfive: ah thanks the code you gave does upgrade the 7 packs i needed. [18:53] how can I tell if it's registering the cd? [18:53] Myrtti, I got there, what settings do I need to change? [18:53] david_-_-: np [18:53] artti: 'somekind' being the operative word... _what_ kind? [18:53] TwoD, nope. i have 3rd party repos, but i've had them for some time. they get reenabled after upgrade anyway [18:53] since I cant' browse the windows using the gui [18:53] I was trying to google it but I am stumped as to what to even google [18:53] Bravewolf, it needs approx 1,4 gb and I have 1,1 or 1,2 free on / [18:53] artti, have you tried iat [18:53] is there a developer channel? ubuntu+1 forwards me here [18:53] brane, you've already got iptables which acts like a firewall.

[19:01] Carbonflux, yep [19:01] !info gnome-commander [19:01] thanks :) [19:01] o well i guess there's nothing wrong going on :) maby ti fixed after i restarted [19:01] tanath, ah. [19:01] Hasone, no popups asking if you want to install software etc? [19:01] thanks guys :) [19:01] I want to use my gnome bookmarks [19:01] did the oem install option get nixed? [19:01] thefish: no. [19:01] TwoD, also does suggestions for things to download [19:01] dimitree, do you know which packages need fixing? [19:02] TwoD: already fixed... he said skype-common I think. [19:02] Hasone, ok, lets change it to just use cdrom then - I dont know the "official" way to do it but if you go to SYSTEM > ADMIN > SOFTW. SOURCES [19:02] tanath, hmm, could be useful. But for a torrent client, I don't think anything beats the [web]gui of µTorrent ;) [19:02] thefish, iat say that image is broken [19:02] Ali_ix, ya, I am trying to sync a local dir with a ftp dir, I have everything book marked in gnome file browser, if that does not work I will use the KDE tool tho [19:02] fde, ah didn't see that [19:03] TwoD, i'm partial to deluge [19:03] it says: was not able to install all the updates. run a partial upgrade, to intsall as many updates as possible. [19:03] TwoD, utorrent needs wine, no? [19:03] thefish: doing that now. [19:03] Hasone, then on there, add the cdrom [19:03] Bravewolf, oh well, I'll go for a total reinstall.. and I'll also try out the kde4 remix of kubuntu ;) now I just have to get my ext hdd to awake properly... just my luck to buy an ext hdd that has a special hibarnation mode that does not work that well with linux... :( [19:03] software sources won't open, thefish [19:03] artti, maybe it is broken? Not sure from here mate :( [19:03] * fde thinks Ubuntu needs to change more defaults to match things maintained in launchpad ... as sort of a bonus for using it. [19:03] Carbonflux: may be irrevelant, but checkout conduit later, it is a nice, fast-growing sync platform [19:04] Ali_ix, thank you I will [19:04] Hasone, ok, then we do it the manly way... open a terminal, sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup === RaceCondition is now known as DeadLock [19:04] tanath, yeah, but it runs very smoothly. Well. I do have some problems when I'm using more than one screen, but that applies to more than µTorrent... [19:04] ? [19:04] (so things like Exaile, Deluge, AWN use etc etc) [19:05] thefish: done [19:05] fde, bah @ exaile. amarok FTW [19:05] i need a package similar to this --> libtermcap-devel [19:05] but my 8.04 doesn't find any [19:05] fde, even Listen is better than Exaile [19:05] tanath: haha... exaile = amarok for gtk :D [19:05] fde, no, no it's not. not even close :P [19:05] tanath: Listen is a cluttered interface. [19:05] fde: is exaile complete? [19:05] hmm exaile eh [19:05] tanath: It's a stated goal... heh [19:05] <^root^> i have Add/Remove running some downloads, those are taking about 18 hours and i dont have much time, what if i cancell it here while its downloading? Is there a way i can resume when i get back home? [19:06] Hasone, then add the cdrom with "sudo apt-cdrom -d/mnt/cdrom add" *i think* [19:06] fde, i'll give you that ;) [19:06] Hasone, no, just apt-cdrom add [19:06] Hasone, that will ask to enter cdrom and then press enter [19:06] thefish: yep [19:06] ^root^: not y add/remove, but if you use synaptics instead, you can save markings for later resume [19:06] so exaile is the best non kde player for ubuntu eh? [19:07] h00k: no [19:07] ^root^, try another mirror? use Select Best Mirror function? [19:07] quick question: is it S99xdm to K01xdm or K1xdm? [19:07] it's doi ng some sort of magic [19:07] (kinda like amarok, but not having hotkeys is a pain :( [19:07] <^root^> tanath: its not the mirror, its the stuff :P :d [19:07] thefish: done. [19:07] Swiftfoxer: That is a personal preference... I just think it'd be neat... [19:07] <^root^> Ali_ix: hmmm :( :'( [19:07] <^root^> seems like i will have to leave my lappi at home... [19:07] thefish: now what? [19:07] ^root^, you sure there aren't faster mirrors? did you check? [19:07] Hasone, ok now i think it may be an idea to disable all the other sources, so open that up in your text editor and comment out all the deb... lines apart from the cdrom one [19:07] ok. [19:08] ^root^: put in sleep mode, or just freeze teh app [19:08] Swiftfoxer: Would give projects motivation to use Launchpad also, so it'd get more use from all the Ubuntu users. [19:08] <^root^> tanath: my connection is giving the best speed it can, after that mirrors doesnt matter.... [19:08] what's the comment character I need, thefish? //? [19:08] <^root^> Ali_ix: sleep like i sleep? :P, how? [19:08] fde: isn't launchpad a bug reporting site, fde? [19:08] ^root^, by default, packages are cached, so you should be able to 'resume' in the sense that you won't have to redownload cached packages [19:08] Hasone: where? in shell script? # [19:08] ^root^, ah [19:08] ^root^: sleep, standby mode for laptops [19:08] Hasone, just put a # in front [19:09] Swiftfoxer: No, that is just one of its features.... launchpad.net at the top gives a list of other modules... [19:09] fde: I wasn't sure [19:09] <^root^> tanath: no, but what about the packages that are in queue? are that cacjed as well? [19:09] Hasone, need to go again, but once thats all done, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade again [19:09] thefish: okay. will you be back? [19:09] <^root^> Ali_ix: you mean like hibernate? but that would mean cancellation of the app, wont it? [19:09] ^root^: in sleep mode, the system will ower off exect for RAM modules, then you can recover quickly to power on mode [19:09] fde oh btw you using 64bit ubuntu? [19:09] fde: I'm gonna try it anyway :) (exaile) [19:09] Swiftfoxer: nope, sorry [19:09] ^root^, you'll have to retell it what you want to do. if you're just upgrading, that shouldn't be a problem. but it won't remember what you wanted to be done [19:09] hi everyone [19:09] ^root^: no need to close apps in sleep mode [19:09] Is there ANY other way to boost your volume than putting the Master channel on alsamixer to 50? [19:09] fde: then 32bit ubuntu? [19:10] <^root^> Ali_ix: and that sleep mode is done by "Suspend" in "System -> Quit" ? [19:10] Swiftfoxer: Nope, 48 ;) [19:10] what does that even mean [19:10] When i updated to Ubuntu 8.04 the sound now sounds like in a metall can. What can i do to fix this? [19:10] Hasone, back for now :) [19:10] ^root^: yeah. [19:10] hows the update there? [19:11] 0 update, 0 installed, 0 to eliminate and 321 not updated [19:11] Swiftfoxer: No idea, but Ubuntu only supports 32bit and 64bit... guess it could mean it waste half a clock cycle? heh [19:11] Hasone, mm ok [19:11] <^root^> Ali_ix: so all i would have to do, would to to suspend it, and then when i get back put the cable back and put it to wake? [19:11] can any help me to reinstall ubuntu on teh com;puter [19:11] Hasone, whats the output of lsb_release -c [19:12] ^root^: yes, you can also hibernate it if you want keep battery [19:12] Codename: hardy [19:12] Hasone, ok cool [19:12] So, now i need help installing Winrar(linux). There is file Makefile... how i install winrar? [19:12] fde: still doesn't make sense. [19:12] help? only tvtime sees my capture card ok, but it cannot record. is there a workaround to record off it? [19:12] Hasone, i will try to help with your wireless then, lets see about that [19:12] myrtti I ran the download and it looked like it installed the module right but when I run the installer again it gives me the same.. Unable to build the vmmon module. [19:12] i think my system is stuck, parts of it think it's hardy and parts of it don't. [19:12] dicknose: what is the problem? backup your files, go ahead and reinstall it [19:12] Swiftfoxer: Was a joke... ugh [19:12] Hasone, cat /etc/issue? [19:12] thefish: okay. but you're gonna have to baby me through this one [19:12] how to backup my files' [19:12] fde: I can see that, it just didn't make sense to me though. [19:13] where to find logs to this channel? [19:13] Ubuntu 8.04 /n /l blank line [19:13] arti just sudo apt-get install unrar [19:13] issue.net [19:13] dicknose: copy to another hard drive or write on DVD/CD [19:13] \n \l, sorry. [19:13] <^root^> Ali_ix: thats what i was thinking, Hibernation is better solution, and i guess that would do the task, and if it didnt, i would "su you" ("su" on shell) :P :d ;) [19:13] Hasone, all good [19:13] ^root^: ;) [19:13] fde: its just that I have this problem with the soundmixer not working properly it seems [19:13] Hasone, the problems now are that you cant open nautilus etc and no wireless? [19:13] thefish: okay. remember, I am now but an extension that types stuff [19:13] dicknose: the most iortant section is your /home partion/directory [19:13] thefish: exactly.

[19:19] Uplink: latest "fix" to stop ff crashing seems to create a conflict if you have ff open and another media player at the same time [19:19] yes it is [19:19] the radio [19:19] or xmms? [19:19] Error: couldn't find package linux-ubuntu-modules-uname-r- [19:19] do i close it? [19:19] thefish: oh. [19:19] thefish: hehehe [19:19] radio? you mean on your pc?

[19:20] Hardy is downloading VERY slow, anyway to fix this? [19:20] (hopefully) [19:20] david_-_-: ok, they are local users [19:20] is there a fix for gtk and ati in 8.0.4? [19:20] servers are hot right now kousotu [19:20] kousotu, use torrent? [19:20] no se udo encontral el paquente linux-ubuntu-modules---generic [19:20] yeah [19:20] Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system. [19:20] Hasone, sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-generic [19:21] try another sever... [19:21] i got hardy in 10 minutes with torrent [19:21] all my firefox windows are closed [19:21] Ali_ix: is it from my machine? because im only one on it. and only one running on this comp.

I've installed fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts, ran fc-cache....every gnome application now shows them, except for Open Office. [19:22] Hasone, there is a word for that... [19:22] kousotu, you should use torrent is what i meant [19:22] Hasone: (my bad) [19:22] david_-_-: it is Administrative > USers & Groups [19:22] rogue780: I'm downloading UPDATES [19:23] is there anyway firestarter can monitor both wireless and wired connections, even if they aren't active? [19:23] oh, nm [19:23] kousotu: are you using the closest mirror to your location? [19:23] Jaymac, does the problem of audio not initializing in any sound using app and firefox(flash) due to a sound mixer or is it just an issue with flash? [19:23] Hasone, "lsmod | grep iwl" - does this return anything? [19:23] because it either works with one or another [19:23] Jaymac: no idea, just used what it defaulted to [19:23] thefish: no [19:24] Swiftfoxer: I think it is a flash issue, not sure. They tried to make Flash more stable, and this was a side effect as far as I know. [19:24] Ali_ix: ah there showing me twice lol [19:24] Jaymac, pal said its due to ESD being replaced by pulseaudio or something [19:24] I finished installing everything on my pc including antena and everything works perferct u guys helped me a lot tHANKSSSS [19:24] Ali_ix: thanks for your help [19:24] kousotu: go to System Administration Software Sources [19:24] so libflashsupport fixes this eh?

[19:28] but i returned the cd to postal department [19:28] Hasone, ok lsmod | grep ipw shoudl returnm stuff now [19:28] because i had no money at that time [19:28] is it not faster to download the cd and make copies? [19:28] Thomamvt: We are not Ship It's support , please see Jaymac's message [19:28] Chapai: not if you have a dialup, unstable connection [19:29] So, Is there anyway firestarter can monitor both wireless and wired devices, even if they aren't active? [19:29] Thomamvt: send that pdf to the customs department. === bcnaat_ is now known as bcnaat [19:29] Hasone, see if that changes your networkmanager stuff so it sees the wlan [19:29] Is it possible to run both gnome and kde at the same time? [19:29] oh yeah i forgot [19:29] Dvyjones: what do you mean? simultaneously on the same machine? [19:29] hello [19:29] Jaymac: yes [19:29] Gromi: when they are not active, there is no packets, why should it monitor? [19:29] ipw2200 149320 0 [19:29] I'm going to upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04. I disabled all the additional repos (eg. Medibuntu, innotek, canonical partner) and I cleaned the package status using "apt-get clean" and "apt-get autoremove". Now I have some non official Ubuntu packages, such as mplayer (medibuntu), ffmpeg (medibuntu), skype, googleearth, canon cups driver, virtualbox. Can I begin the upgrade or I have to do some more actions? Thanks! [19:30] ieee80211 35656 1 ipw2200 [19:30] Jaymac: no use [19:30] Hasone, only one line? [19:30] hi, the installation of 8.04 (clean from cd) deleted all files in my desktop (i have /home on a separate partition). is there any chance to get them back? [19:30] hi guys, im installing linux on an mac mini, where do i install grub, or dont install at all? plz, ty. [19:30] Dvyjones: you can generally use one graphical shell at once, but you have both installed and switch between them [19:30] Thomamvt: what do you mean? [19:30] Hasone, ok if dpkg --configure -a does nothing, maybe try rebooting now (remember to remove the disk) [19:30] they bill me sometimes only [19:30] thefish: two separate lines. line1: ipw2200 longspace 149320 0, line2: ieee80211 longspace 35656 1 ipw2200. [19:30] Jaymac: Without rebooting or closing programs? [19:31] Dvyjones: you can switch between them, but you can't have them running at the same time, unless you run one in a VM/ [19:31] k [19:31] Hasone, ok that means your wireless is now seen - good [19:31] rebooting. [19:31] Dvyjones: but you can run KDE applications in GNOME and vice versa, so why would you want to? [19:31] Ali_ix: Because I when I'm out and about I don't want to have to start firestarter and run the wizard again if I want to use wifi connection. Does that make sense? [19:31] They know what ubuntu is but they only want money [19:31] hi everyone [19:31] thefish: still can't access the interwebs. should I reboot? [19:31] i am trying to connect to the starchat server but having no luck - [19:32] Hasone, networkmanager doesnt show available wlan? [19:32] is there a very cheap inkjet printer working out of the box in hardy? [19:32] thefish: launching networkmanager [19:32] anyway thanks for helping [19:32] to everyone [19:32] Thanks [19:32] thefish: how do I get to network manager? [19:32] Hasone, icon in the systray? [19:33] thefish: I think it may be network manager that may have dissapeared. something that has bars and stuff dissapeared. [19:33] can anyone tell, where is PIDGIN icq logs files take place in Ubuntu ? [19:33] So do I have to start firestarter and change the settings if I want to switch from a wired to wireless connection? Isn't that a bit inconvenient? [19:33] Hasone, ok give it a reboot then [19:33] thefish: no icons in systray refer to the interwebs. [19:33] thefish: aye aye, cap'n! [19:33] Hasone, may be theres a new kernel to boot from :) [19:33] thefish: that's been true since the problems started [19:33] does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem with Hardy not recognising my on board network card properly? I assume this is what it is - the card appears but it can't connect to anything, i have a laptop using the same router (wired) and as i say, it still works if i boot to the old kernel - when i 'ifup eth0' it simply looks for leases and never finds one - what info do i need to provide/look for? I've tried putting in another network card that works [19:34] how do you tell wht version of software is in the repo [19:34] ive downloaded the usplashe images for booting up ubuntu. how can i set the image to act when i boot up?

[19:44] kazol: it gave 3 errors, but it's fine [19:44] kousotu: Ok, good, I'll upgrade my installation then. [19:44] Ali_ix, to ubuntu project it's a pleasure :) [19:44] Ali_ix: Nothing from the Hardy-era stuff will even boot! [19:44] ramkumar: yes but its so difficult to use.. it doesnt even give me a list asking me where I want to record from [19:44] Hasone, hope that helped, sorry i dont knwo anyone else here :( im sure someone will help... [19:44] Hasone, may be back later.. [19:44] kazol: do you us emerald? [19:44] thank you for everything, thefish. [19:44] PY any errors or signs? [19:45] Hasone: what's the problem again?

[19:45] file:///home/dan/Desktop/bug200575.patch [19:45] H I cant pass multiple command line arguments to the flwm binary in flwm.desktop using gdm. I would like to run flwm -bg black -fg green, is there a way to pass these using gdm? [19:45] dan_: ?

[19:46] how can i add an icon for a program that normally i need to run from terminal window ???

Does anyone have a guide to record audio that you can hear? (im not looking to record streams, just a game and voice chat on it) -- Sound Recorder doesnt work for me, get just ... very low sound ? [19:46] What programs should i download for ubuntu???? [19:47] ramkumar: when I open a window in nautilus, it opens visibly enough for me to see the window opening, and then immediately closes. [19:47] Sticking with vista, I guess [19:47] Barnose: ... can you be more specific [19:47] Ali_ix: I'd really rather not, seems a bit overboard! [19:47] Barnose: for what purpose? [19:47] !repeat | Mimi [19:47] Mimi: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:47] zvacet: where is the launcher located [19:47] Mimi, sound rec should work, have you checked your settings?

[19:47] filthpig: Yeah I've checked the settings, but the help file is SO outdated... so I'm half guessing what I need to do [19:48] matthias_ : right click on desktop [19:48] hasone: what is the output when you run nautilus from a terminal? [19:49] matthias_ : or you can go to the system>preferences>main menu> new item [19:49] Anybody know how to get QTRuby to work in Ubuntu? [19:49] how does one install dependencies for a program, without installing the program itself? [19:49] ramkumar, symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-1.0/libgnome-mount-so: undefined symbol: nautilus_file_info_get_drive. [19:49] ramkumar: Looking at screenshots of it... looks even more difficult to use than audacity... but ill try it... *installs* ... i just want something simple to record everything that passed by the speaker [19:49] evil_tech: Alternate cd? [19:49] Mimi, also checked google for it? ubuntuforums often has an answer.. [19:49] o i am stupid [19:50] has anybody else notices audio glitches in Hardy? [19:50] zvacet: thank you will try it ,found, can i merge it into the applications list as well ?? [19:50] mimi: ah ok, i've tried audacity once...it didn't work very well for me either to be honest. I'm just hoping one of these works for you :) [19:50] filthpig: Yes, I've been looking for 3 days, and have been asking here in this irc [19:50] hi all . Is there any way of making all names of installed packages get into a file with only one line? I wanted to reinstall everything fresh, but wanted to install same packages right after. [19:50] hi, someone have a genius nb300 webcam working? [19:50] in terminal....what is the command for ipconfig /all? [19:50] belkinhelp2_: ifconfig -a [19:50] im new to ubuntu if you couldnt tell [19:50] thanks [19:50] tried the alternate cd no oem option anymore [19:50] how do you restart your sound [19:50] belkinhelp2_: we all were at one point [19:50] Trying to burn a cd in nautilus fails near-silently (cilcking on the write button flashes up a dialog which immediately disappears). Burning in Brasero does work. Can someone suggest avenues for debugging? [19:50] ramkumar: I have to admit, that doesn't sound very encouraging to me >< [19:51] Please someone tell me how to get a THEME to work... I downloaded some, they say NOT a theme [19:51] Mimi, I feel sure it's a driver/setting problem, not sound recorder as such [19:51] filthpig: I can google the list of programs that MAY do what Im looking to do, which is to simply record any sound that my computer produces, but not knowing how to do it, and help files not mentioning, it's a shot in the dark [19:51] Jaymac, nope still having that problem even after libflashsupport is installed [19:51] matthias_ : yes under main menu select where you want it to show ( internet.sound&video....) [19:51] I did "apt-get upgrade" and noticed that one of my packages changed. Is there a command that will show me what changed? What's the best way to do this? [19:51] Swiftfoxer: I don't think you need libflashsupport anymore - it was a Gutsy workaround wasn't it? [19:51] hasone: have you tried reinstalling nautilus? === sriram is now known as sriramoman [19:51] ramkumar: how would I do that? [19:51] the audio glitches are subtile, but always there if you listen carefully for a couple of minutes ( a nice and quiet MP3 for example) [19:51] I've been able to hear it in mplayer as well as amarok, both on 2 differend sound cards [19:52] how does one install dependencies for a program, without installing the program itself? [19:52] zvacet: i tried but the gui does not shows up seems like something missing ... [19:52] Jaymac: well uhh, I never had that problem in gutsy.... [19:52] Barnose: Try extracting the archive, sometimes the themes come in packs with different themes for different theme managers. [19:52] Its a problem I've always had in hardy [19:52] Mimi, what kind of sounds? [19:52] Jaymac, libflashsupport is still needed, but it causes an occasional firefox crash under pulseaudio, so it's currently disabled until we've got a better solution [19:52] <_Andrew> kousotu, Install the program then remove the program? [19:52] hasone: go to synaptic, select nautilus, mark for reinstallation [19:52] Jaymac, it _is_ needed for flash to use anything but straight alsa, but the cure is worse than the disease [19:52] cwillu: oh ok [19:52] ramkumar: on it [19:52] so my network card's recognised, but DHCP just sites looking for a lease (in new kernel) [19:52] <_Andrew> kousotu, I'm guessing btw [19:52] oh ok apt-cache pkgnames got it [19:52] _Andrew: the program is at a point I need it at, I don't want to update it [19:52] filthpig: not microphone, not trying to record music from streams either, I like to pay for my music. -- I just want to record sounds that play on my computer: example: me playing a game, my buddies and I chatting on Ventrilo, etc [19:53] Thats some good info, Thanks... T1m0thy... Also .. i saw a cool manager in a screen shot... Where do i get these managers???? [19:53] cwillu: I'll pass Swiftfoxer over to you then - I've reached the limit of my Flash knowledge :) [19:53] Swiftfoxer, what's the problem? [19:53] cwillu: the problem I have either audio on flash(firefox) or some other app(like audacious, smplayer, etc) [19:53] <_Andrew> kousotu, oh right [19:53] hasone: guessing since your upgrade was interrupted, nautilus might be missing something [19:53] matthias_ : in upper left right click on applicatonsand you will see edit menus [19:53] so how may I remove each newline symbol and replace it by a " " [19:53] anyone... passing command line args to the window manager binary in gdm? [19:53] Swiftfoxer, ya, that's 'normal' right now [19:53] hasone: great, let me know if that helps [19:53] _Andrew: it was a problem after I updated to hardy [19:53] First maybe tell me how to use this chat! [19:53] so my network card's recognised, but DHCP just sits looking for a lease (in new kernel) then doesn't find any offers (it works in the old kernel) - i can't statically configure either [19:53] Rhythmbox is broken on 8.10 [19:53] ramkumar: nautilus an related things have a star next to them. does that mean anything? [19:53] livingdaylight: 8.10 isn't out [19:53] <_Andrew> kousotu, What specifically are you trying to install? [19:54] err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report [19:54] install the Windows version of Mono to run .NET executables [19:54] hello ppl .. [19:54] Barnose: I'm not sure what you mean. Different desktop environments (Gnome, KDE, etc.) just come with different ones. [19:54] Swiftfoxer, if you want to deal with the occasional crashes (session restore is wonderful), then install libflashsupport, and then apt-get remove --purge the flashplayer, and then reinstall flashplayer [19:54] Swiftfoxer, i should just say Hardy [19:54] !repeat | kousotu [19:54] kousotu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:54] cwillu: is this because firefox isn't properly using pulseaudio and its like, tied to esd? [19:54] hasone: ah, i can't recall...that means they are new packages i think [19:54] Ali_ix: I was askied, thanks [19:54] Thanks I will go work on this [19:54] cwillu: well I don't, really. Just wondering if theres a workaround [19:54] Barnose, you can use emerald with Gnome, too. [19:54] hasone: but the star is a good thing, i'm hoping reinstalling will help [19:54] Barnose, alright. [19:54] my pc crashes too much already :( [19:54] kousotu: check #mono [19:54] Swiftfoxer, no, it's because flashplayer is tied to alsa; libflashplayer is actually adobe's library, but there's a bug in it [19:54] need to knw how to remove ipv6 if possible from ubuntu 8 .. [19:54] ah [19:54] Swiftfoxer, nothing to do with firefox persay [19:54] kousotu: or #mono-develope [19:54] ramkumar: it seems to be doing a bunch of installing off of the hardy heron cd i burned earlier successfully. [19:55] One more thing... can i minimize this screen or do i have to quit? [19:55] zvacet: let me try again create an launcher [19:55] cwillu: I had a feeling it was like that. [19:55] (same problem with konquerer, or anything else that uses the flash plugin on linux) [19:55] <_Andrew> kousotu, sounds like you need to install the windows version of Mono [19:55] What is this emerald.. and what is gnome? [19:55] !gnome | Barnose [19:55] Barnose: 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. [19:55] Barnose: Gnome is the window manager that Ubuntu uses [19:55] Swiftfoxer, it might be possible to use it with padsp to still get mixing, but I haven't had any luck with it yet [19:55] _Andrew: the words no sh*t come to mind. I can't FIND it [19:55] !emerald | Barnose [19:55] Factoid emerald not found [19:55] hasone: oh ok, thought it'd be better to install from the repos...but nevermind, let me know if it works [19:55] Barnose: Emerald is a theme manager [19:56] emerald still exists [19:56] I'm sorry im dumb... I need 1 on 1 help or maybe a video or maybe a sledge hammer to the face til i learn. [19:56] good morning [19:56] <_Andrew> kousotu, I don't know anything about mono but I think you're best bet is to go upstream to the actual mono project and seek help there [19:56] Yud: night here :) [19:56] matthias_ : right click on desktop< in dropdown menu select make new launcher [19:56] :( [19:56] remove ip6 anyone? [19:56] cwillu, I'm at least glad that flash doesn't occasionally break now and then [19:56] Swiftfoxer, once there's a fix, it'll probably get updated automatically as long as you have ubuntu-desktop (or equivalent) installed [19:56] i have a brain buster [19:56] <_Andrew> kousotu, I'm looking for a channel on irc for you but I can't find anything [19:56] zvacet: it works i amed an misstake let me try it get it into application menue ... [19:56] Do i have to download these? [19:56] or add/remove them? [19:56] I'm in ##mono [19:56] cwillu: ubuntu-desktop? [19:56] om [19:56] mine's hardy [19:57] Barnose: I think you'd really like this stite then: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/ [19:57] Mimi, I see.. Hmm... Have you tried MusE? available in repos.. might be what you want.. [19:57] (I'm assuming that they're the same thing) [19:57] ramkumar: I can't. no internet. wifi isn't working and my ethernet port got fried a few fears ago. [19:57] thanks [19:57] has anyone been able to setup dual monitor in hary, all my attempts has been futile. displayconfig-gtk isnot working, i log off and back and its the same a mirroed desktop [19:57] Swiftfoxer, meta-package, used for upgrades [19:57] How do you shutdown the x-server and stay in terminal so you can install nvidia drivers [19:57] jk__, what chipset? [19:57] hasone: heh...thought ethernet might work [19:57] ramkumar, nope, sorry. [19:57] Via chrome9 or something i am not sure [19:58] I might be able to run usb to the windows machine and steal its internet somehow, but I'd have to be walked through it. [19:58] Barnose: I use http://beryl-themes.org/ for emerald themes [19:58] hasone: as far as I know, there haven't been any updates, so it's good [19:58] Barnose: Hav eyou installed ubuntu already? [19:58] jk__, chrome support is limited afaik [19:58] Mimi, I don't know any more than you do on this, sorry.. And now I'll be gone a while, bbl [19:58] There was an error with a hash sum installing nautilus off the cd. [19:58] Yud: ctrl + alt + f2 [19:58] matthias_ : right click on applications>edit menus>select on left side where you want to pit launcher( games,internet...) and then on right side select new item [19:58] Hi all, i've just upgrade to hardy and the new kernel recognises my on board ethernet - bizarrely though i can't connect to my network over static OR dhcp - if i [19:58] change back to the old kernel it works fine - i've got up to date -restricted -modules and even -backports packages according to apt - can anyone help shed any [19:58] kousotu: I think people are overfeeding barnr [19:58] light on this? [19:58] ramkumar, if you or anyone else can fix my interwebs, I shall be eternally grateful. [19:58] yud not recommeded, but sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop will stop gdm [19:59] HAL FAILED TO INITIALIZE ERROR, new feature in 8.04 ! [19:59] ph8, try it under a hardy live cd. if it works there, then there's some previous configuration from before the upgrade that's messing it up [19:59] what is it... [19:59] Mimi: maybe, but then agian, that's the best site I've found so far [19:59] kousotu: I think people are overfeeding barnr (oops sorry) Barnose with info, when s/he can't grasp the basics yet... Let her/him learn slowly, then move to that more advanced stuff, what do you think ;p Im trying to find the wiki page for begginers, but cant find it :/ [19:59] I don't want HAL to kill me [19:59] mib_56b8am: itwont :) [19:59] yes i have HAL error in Ubuntu RC [19:59] lol [20:00] is there a channel with the wifi experts? [20:00] I'm so tired [20:00] or are they all in here? [20:00] cwillu, as in they stopped segfaulting <3 [20:00] Can someone help me... I'm trying to run linux native game (postal 2) but when I try to run it in fullscreen mode the monitor keeps flash black and back to the desktop and back to black again etc [20:00] can someone tell me how to check the existance of a file in *nix in a single command? [20:00] cwillu: Good idea [20:00] ! [20:00] Swiftfoxer, I'm sorry? [20:00] Hasone, did you previously have it working in gutsy? [20:00] NeoGeo64: probably gfx card problem [20:00] I had a problem where flash in gutsy kept segfaulting, but that's gone in hardy [20:00] Hasone: check this: /chanserv list *wifi* [20:00] <3 [20:00] it works fine on windows [20:00] i use nvidia [20:01] zvacet: thanks a lot it works ... [20:01] sriramoman, for a script? [20:01] hey does anyone have a good guide for install xp on vmware-server (i created the virtual machine but it wont detect the xp install cd when i click "power on" from the virtual server console) [20:01] tbh at this point [20:01] cwillu: yes [20:01] i might nuke my entire partition [20:01] and reinstall [20:01] i've had to do that every time i've upgraded ubuntu! [20:01] and postal 2 ran fine on earlier versions of ubuntu [20:01] NeoGeo64: are you running compiz? (desktop effects) [20:01] What's the name of that program that let's you open pdf and edit a pdf file? There's a few, and in the past I've tried them all, but this one was my favorite. [20:01] ali_ix: yes i am [20:01] Barnose: this may be very useful also: https://help.ubuntu.com/ not a lot to read, and you can see all the topics [20:01] hasone: i'm not sure about that...if someone else sees this, they'll help [20:01] !mono [20:01] Factoid mono not found [20:01] NeoGeo64: turn it off and try again [20:01] what's 64 bit like these days? [20:01] It opens it as a background file and you can draw on it, write notes. [20:01] is there a console command to display hardware (e.g temperature) sensor readouts? [20:02] hasone: give me a moment though, i'll get back to you in a bit [20:02] I'm running Firefox 3.0B5 on Hardy, and using Google Reader for my rss, why does some of the flash want to play in Totem? When it doesn't work, but when I goto the source of the article it plays in Flash. Why is that? [20:02] ph8: About twice as much as 32 :) [20:02] Hasone, ello mate, have you tried sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [20:02] Hi all [20:02] sriramoman, look at the files in /etc/init.d/ there's an example in most of them at the top (they check if their binary exists before they try to start it) [20:02] I've a question [20:02] ph8: better support and more apps in repos, but still not as wide as 32bit in desktops [20:02] xournal [20:02] I've a question [20:02] I've a question [20:02] Warrior--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:02] I've a question [20:02] xournal [20:02] thefish: I can try that. [20:02] !flood | Warrior-- [20:02] !ask > Warrior-- (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [20:02] Warrior--: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [20:02] cwillu: thanx! sensible idea! [20:02] !ask [20:02] 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. :-) [20:02] Mimi did you not see my chat in a seperate window...... how does this work [20:02] zvacet: thank you :) [20:02] Hasone, ? [20:02] anyone have a CLEAR solution for the HAL error? I cant change my volume, its stuck @ 100% lol! [20:02] <_2> i'm having a very odd boot issue. when i boot the linux kernel from hda and mount /dev/hdb it's empty but when i boot the linux kernel from hdc and mount /dev/hdb that's where my linux root fs is. how can a drive change address in linux ? [20:02] thefish: it's sudo apt-get update -d [20:03] kousotu, that does the same? [20:03] Warrior--:rior: And.... [20:03] matthias_ np [20:03] oh btw cwillu, you know of any way I can get flash to work under swiftfox? [20:03] kousotu: too late. [20:03] lol [20:03] 0%: working. [20:03] I wanna install Ubuntu 8.04 beside Windows Vista [20:03] anyone have an lexmakr all-in-one printer that they have managed to get working ??? [20:03] If i do that will it damage to my H.D.D or change the file system ? [20:03] I am about to upgrade to Heron, but the system has a wifi card, which could stop working during the installation (due to a different network configuration that Heron has by default). [20:03] I wanna install Ubuntu 8.04 beside Windows Vista [20:03] Swiftfoxer, stop using swiftfox, it's entire idea is based on a misunderstanding of compiler technology :p [20:03] If i do that will it damage to my H.D.D or change the file system ? [20:03] I wanna install Ubuntu 8.04 beside Windows Vista [20:03] Warrior--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [20:03] If i do that will it damage to my H.D.D or change the file system ? [20:03] Warrior--: it can repartion NTFS [20:03] Warrior--: Do you want to install it on a virtual partition or on a seperate harddrive [20:03] Ty for the site, but how do i view it without leaving this chat ? [20:03] HAL wants to kill me... [20:03] oh okay, cwillu [20:04] Warrior--: Stop repeating [20:04] yeah, most of the stuff that's left is x-server and gnome and graphics stuff. no wonder nautilus is flipping out. [20:04] Warrior--: Stop flooding or no one will help you :) [20:04] !install Warrior-- [20:04] Mimi: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:04] Wirelessly or by USB cable ? [20:04] On my hard drive [20:04] ali_ix: disabling compiz worked but i like compiz and it would be a pita to disable it everytime i wanna play [20:04] !install | Warrior-- [20:04] Ok [20:04] Warrior--: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [20:04] thefish: 1% done! [20:04] is there a console command to display hardware (e.g temperature) sensor readouts? [20:04] Warrior-- derfragment Vista few times and then resize partiiton [20:04] Warrior--: The new version can be installed on a virtual partition if I'm not mistaken, it talks about it on the ubuntu website [20:04] Warrior--: just have Ubuntu repartion the drive, it should be fine, I've down 3 partions with Ubuntu live CDs [20:04] !sensors | jharkn [20:04] jharkn: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [20:04] malocite: he wants to install it for good (like we normally do before we had wubi) [20:05] <_2> jharkn sensors [20:05] kazol_: cheers :) [20:05] np [20:05] Mimi: Should he do that before he learns how to use it :) [20:05] lm-sensors [20:05] NeoGeo64: me too! but i like more performance and stability too :) [20:05] Warrior-- : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing [20:05] <_2> jharkn you may have to install it lmsensors [20:05] I am about to upgrade to Heron, but the system has a wifi card, which could stop working during the installation (due to a different network configuration that Heron has by default). [20:05] _2: thanks (: [20:05] I wanna choose setup "Inside Windows" [20:05] What now ? [20:05] kazol_ settings will remain the same during upgrade [20:05] Could this happen while the system is being upgraded to Heron? [20:05] ok [20:05] Will it change the file system ? [20:06] Warrior-- you have to get another program to do that [20:06] Thanks for the info Ali_ix. [20:06] no one in ##mono is talking... [20:06] Warrior--: Nope... go to www.wubi-installer.org [20:06] And ? [20:06] fde, mib_56b8am: Wubi is offered on the Hardy install CD [20:06] Warrior--: all the instructions are there [20:06] that`s it its Wubi [20:06] !wubi | Warrior-- [20:06] Warrior--: Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [20:06] nice thats new [20:06] thefish: .% done! I think we'll be here a while. [20:06] Warrior--: Put the Hardy install CD in when you are running windows and follow the instructions [20:06] Hasone, there is a lot to install? [20:06] cool man, nice bots I this channel [20:06] Aha [20:06] I am impressed [20:07] hasone: doing the upgrade again? you could also try cleaning the downloaded packages before you reinstall nautilus with a "sudo apt-get clean" [20:07] everyone, pls dont use wubi! u will cry! [20:07] Hasone: 3 hours for mine [20:07] So it will add in my programs list right ? [20:07] kazol_, it'll download everything it needs before it starts updating packages, but you may still have breakage if you need firmwares afterwards. Having a wired connection is a good idea. [20:07] yES [20:07] oops [20:07] Warrior-- : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide?highlight=%28wubi%29 [20:07] Warrior--: read that link we gave you [20:07] I just downloaded linux-wlan-ng from synaptic, anyone know if I have to run it from somewhere or something? lol [20:07] <_2> is it possable for an ide hdd to change addresses in linux ? /dev/hda -> /dev/hdb ? [20:07] ramkumar, thefish, kousotu, it's going faster than I expected. [20:07] Warrior--: Its a great way to get started with Ubuntu, then when you are ready you'll probably move your vista to a virtual drive ;) [20:07] cwillu: what do you mean? I did notice a speed increase(smoother operation) with swiftfox though [20:07] Warrior--: read that link we gave you ----- www.wubi-installer.org/faq.php --- everything you need to know is there in simple to read english [20:07] Hasone, i think that may be the winner :) [20:07] ???? [20:07] Ok [20:07] _2 no, why do you need to change it? [20:08] people, just install Winblows inside Linux with VirtualBox [20:08] Thanks [20:08] Really good support! [20:08] Virtualbox.org [20:08] heyho, I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 on Windows. I mounted it. All was fine but when i start the Computer and choose "Ubuntu", it comes "press esc to abort Menü" (or something like that) and then there's nothing. What might be the Problem? [20:08] _2: Yes, thats why fstab wants you to use uuids [20:08] <_2> ali_ix interesting. i have a machiene doing the impossable. [20:08] !uuid | _2 [20:08] _2: 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) [20:08] Hello, I just upgraded to hardy and my webserver seems to be brocken, I can start it successfully but fail to load localhost [20:08] mib_56b8am: why, I have 3 partions on my system for that purpose :P [20:08] Swiftfoxer, it's nearly impossible to do an accurate a/b test between the two; smoother operation could be any number of things, unrelated to swiftfox itself [20:08] munro: [20:08] oops [20:08] <_2> Pici how can it happen ? [20:08] munro: i suggest you ask in #ubuntu-server [20:08] thank u [20:08] <_2> pici i'm having a very odd boot issue. when i boot the linux kernel from hda and mount /dev/hdb it's empty but when i boot the linux kernel from hdc and mount /dev/hdb that's where my linux root fs is. how can a drive change address in linux ? [20:09] can anyone help with mono? [20:09] <_2> pici exact same copy of the kernel [20:09] _2: But running from different places. [20:09] i'm already at 15% [20:09] sriramoman: Why are you telling people to not use Wubi? [20:09] hey. i am having problems with my external HD. it somewere got into read only mode and i cant change anything on it. i tried "sudo chmod -R 777 path" on it but somehow it doesnt give me that kind of access. any ideas? [20:09] Swiftfoxer, the most notable improvements in swiftfox came because it was actually running 3.0 code, which has dramatic improvements in memory handling and javascript performance [20:09] Hasone, i am nearly wetting myself in excitement :D [20:09] Hasone: it'll slow down :P [20:09] after upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, my hard drives hda and hdc where renamed as sda and sdb, wtf? [20:09] _2: The device names are not absolute, try using their uuids [20:09] kousotu: the firsrt 3% took a minute each [20:10] mahadasda: what is file system? [20:10] kousotu, remember its from CD, not repo though [20:10] Hasone: that's just the update engine :P [20:10] Ali_ix - ext3 [20:10] if this doesn't work, I'll try clean, then the second command from before, then the command aI just used [20:10] cwillu, hmm, I suppose [20:10] <_2> pici what would be changing the device name ? [20:10] mib_56b8am, hd* names have been deprecated for a long time now [20:10] I was comparing 3.0 to 2.0 [20:10] mib_56b8am, at least 4 releases [20:10] hasone: yup, it's from the cd...guessing it should be faster [20:10] thefish: ok, good point [20:10] lol [20:10] <_2> Pici i'm not affecting bios [20:10] mahadasda: maybe there is something wrong there, try fsck it. [20:10] Swiftfoxer, exactly [20:10] anyone have got an wireless printer to work ? [20:10] !fsck | mahadasda [20:10] mahadasda: 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 [20:10] Swiftfoxer, 3.0 will beat 2.0 hands down, every time === lwejh___ is now known as lwejh [20:11] thefish: I almost hope you *are* that excited. [20:11] but its slightly smoother than 3.0b5 now, possibly due to less modules(namely flash not working) [20:11] cwillu, how come? [20:11] Swiftfoxer, install flashblock [20:11] I can't tell since I can't really do a side-by-side comparison, heh [20:11] Hasone, well, its cos if that works, you owe me about 40 beers [20:11] does hardy use firefox 3beta? [20:11] thefish: lol [20:11] <_2> Pici ok what does the root= portion look like for a uuid ? [20:11] mib_56b8am, the ide driver is unified with the scsi driver now [20:11] Hasone, its 3b5 at the moment ye [20:11] can anyone help with mono? [20:11] Ali_ix - thanks! if i do "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will it also check external HD? [20:11] thefish: can I get one of those 40? I still tried! ;) [20:11] cwillu, thanks how are the cdrom named now? [20:11] evand: no one,so far, except for the ubuntu makers, i guess, whom i noticed, could run ubuntu in wubi for even more than 2 days properly [20:12] mib_56b8am, you shouldn't be mounting drives via direct device names in most cases anyway :p [20:12] mahadasda: if it is connected and have an entry in fstab, yes [20:12] i cant get vmware-server to autodetect my xp install cd, anyone have any suggestion? [20:12] ramkumar, 5 :) [20:12] mib_56b8am, s** [20:12] thefish: wow. I thought the whole debian philosophy was ubuntu's too: that is, be annoyingly stable. don't upgrade unless you're positive it's the most stable release. [20:12] what si mono [20:12] what is mono [20:12] thefish: woot! [20:12] _2: Instead of using /dev/sdx, use UUID=b55f2c9e-e5a7-4df0-b3b8-601381dc405e or whatever [20:12] mono is love [20:12] sriramoman: I've noticed plenty of people who have run it for several days. Can you cite specific examples? Have these users reported bugs? [20:12] now I'm well and stuck at 24%, I might do some studying. [20:12] matthias_: Its a free and open implementation of .net [20:12] matthias_: windoes compatability layer [20:12] !mono | matthias_ [20:12] Factoid mono not found [20:12] i'm using kde with ubuntu, and I cannot find anything under the K menu for changing desktop resolution [20:12] hasone: na, ubuntu is a bit more bleeding edge if you will [20:12] * Hasone says as he inches up to 1/4 done. [20:13] Ali_ix thanks! [20:13] Hasone: ass! [20:13] _2 try 'blkid' command to get uuids on each drive [20:13] eatatjoes: hope in vmware configuration u have enabled cdrom to be used. virtualbox is actually better and faster. 17mb download! [20:13] <_2> Pici it's not sd it's hdb ide disk but is that root="UUID=blah" ? [20:13] evand: ask any in this irc forum itself [20:13] <_2> Ali_ix yes i know that. thanks. [20:13] a way to implement windows drivers in ubuntu like ndiswrapper for wireless ??? [20:13] kousotu, mono isn't a windows compatibilty layer, it's an implementation of a microsoft vm very much in the spirit of java [20:13] ramkumar, kousotu, I respect the philosophy of debian. even if ubuntu no share it. btw, thefish, I'm up to 26% [20:13] sriramoman: I have been. I follow this channel fairly closely. [20:13] _2: I just used sd as an example [20:13] Ali_ix: any other ideas? no one in ##mono is actove [20:13] HOWTO SET MY USERNAME [20:13] thefish: I thought you'd like to know :P === meeper_ is now known as meeper [20:14] no one in #ubuntu-wifi is active, either. [20:14] guys i have a major problem, i installed xserver-xgl, which prevented my desktop from appearing properly, now ive removed it i have the same problem [20:14] dicknose, stop using caps [20:14] kousotu: no, sorry, i am not a big fan of mono at all! [20:14] dicknose, /nick [20:14] nautilus refuses to run. [20:14] hello [20:14] * thefish sweats a bit more cos of Hasone 's progress [20:14] sriramoman: If it didn't work for you, please file a bug. But I'm politely asking that you do not discourage people from trying it unless you honestly believe that it will cause serious damage to their system. [20:14] <_2> Pici yes but sd devices move around a lot i have never seen hd devices move like this before. [20:14] ahhhhh get it sorry about the question .... [20:14] Ali_ix: lol can't blame ya, but I need it for some windows programs [20:14] so... off-topic is totally not allowed here, right? [20:14] wishing loud for support of windows drivers [20:14] :Erroneous Nickname [20:15] Hasone: #ubuntu-offtopic [20:15] I read on the forums that the way to fix the hardy lockups is to install the realtime kernel, or upgrade to -25, can anyone help me get the -25, since I don't really have use for the realtime kernel? [20:15] anyone using an integrated radeon xpress 1250? I was wondering how well it runs compiz effects(the xpress 1100 on my laptop does horrible....) [20:15] what a command is pls ? I can't find a package where it should be. please help. [20:15] Hasone, that's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for :p [20:15] mim: that's what I thought. [20:15] dicknose: /nick YourNewNameHere [20:15] Is there an offtopic ubuntu room? [20:15] i c :) [20:15] evand: if there is a bug, then it is advised not to be used in a deployment situation where stability is a factor [20:15] _2: I've seen it on both, so I dont know. [20:15] dicknose: replace with your desired nickname [20:15] malocite, #ubuntu-offtopic [20:15] bobbob1016, more context? [20:15] i'd like to allow members of group "vboxusers" tu run "sudo /opt/bin/vbox-network_(start|stop)" without being asked for a password, would this sudoers line works?

[20:15] looking at tmy list of things to install, nautilus had yet to be installed, thefish. that explains why it was dying, I hope. [20:16] sriramoman: If there is a bug, I'd like to be made aware of it so we can fix said bug, rather than people suggest the project be abandoned completely until the bug, which hasn't been reported and we are unaware of, is fixed. [20:16] hi all how can create wireless auto [20:16] _2, UUID [20:16] /nick YourNewNameHere [20:16] no update for xrandr :( [20:16] bobbob1016: ok ill try now, i think my xorg.conf my have been reset === dicknose is now known as YourNewNameHere [20:16] evand: it is a new thing and may be we can offord to use it in homes, but not at offices. I suggest that it may be even due to kernel prob. with m$ =)) [20:16] is it work [20:16] _2: Its not a kernel option, its something for fstab (or at least not a kernel option that I know of) [20:16] 29% complete? [20:16] after upgrading to hardy, all my programs are started on the wrong monitor : [20:16] <_2> yes d typo [20:16] Hasone, exactly, i forgot about the dist- when we were trying earlier [20:16] Hasone, ive got a feeling in my waters about this [20:16] guys mono is an bad idea in linux some problems with it ... [20:16] YourNewNameHere: it worked :) [20:16] <_2> Pici no. it's not getting to fstab it has to be a kernel option. [20:17] hello [20:17] cwillu, I just get random lockups. Ever since Hardy. I looked on the forums, and there are people who say either the realtime kernel, or kernel -25. I'd prefer the -25, but I don't know how to compile it, I did compile a kernel once, but a while ago. [20:17] <_2> busybox shell [20:17] sriramoman: I see no problem using it in an office setting if it works in testing before the deployment. But again, if it isn't working for you please file a bug at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [20:17] thefish: i'm glad. and while your waters were getting their feeling, I got 4 .percents. Isn't this exciting? [20:17] friedns thank yous [20:17] bobbob1016, you really need to give me more information [20:17] <_2> i can boot just fine without any fstab [20:17] make that 7 percents, thefish [20:17] what's mono? [20:17] hello all how can create wireless auto [20:17] sriramoman: If you do file the bug, please go into as much detail as possible describing exactly what went wrong. [20:17] evand: the best thing to avoid crash is to avoid using m$ in any situations [20:17] mono is the linux replacement for .NET, swiftfoxer. [20:17] bobbob1016, i.e., the forum post, logs, suspected drivers, etc [20:17] <_2> fstab is irrelivent [20:18] evand: unfortunately, i dont use window$ so i cant file it. [20:18] Guys, if i install the Ubuntu via Wubi on a partiotion wich i have applications,movies etc it won't damage the drive ? [20:18] sriramoman: I've managed to make ubuntu crash. [20:18] thanks [20:18] thanksufriendsw [20:18] _2: I thought we were talking about fstab, sorry. [20:18] I mean the file system or files into the drive [20:18] foor the helps [20:18] hi :) [20:18] who has aptoncd here? does the botton "load" in restore mode workes for you? I have 2 systems and none of them works! [20:18] hi, mohi. [20:18] don't know [20:18] <_2> Pici no i'm talking about the kernel mounting the root fs to the system [20:18] Hasone: dont say u did it with a wrong driver or with m$ working as a brother [20:18] If i install the Ubuntu via Wubi on a partiotion wich i have applications,movies etc it won't damage the drive ? [20:18] I mean the file system or files into the drive [20:18] sriramoman: So you've never tried Wubi? === benzs_s is now known as benzss [20:18] warrior--: no it wont...well, it shouldn't [20:18] mohi: no problem here, and HI :) [20:19] anyone have tried ddiwrapper ??? [20:19] Warrior--, should be fine, it just shows up as a giant file on the windows side [20:19] warrior--: i haven't tried it myself though... [20:19] Warrior--: it shouldn't but as with *any* operating system install, make back ups first. [20:19] cwillu, I haven't gotten into logs, or suspected drivers, since it appears to be the -24 kernel, and no one specifies specific hardware. I'll look through logs, if that helps, but they say they compile the kernel, and no mention about what options they use, and that fixes the lockups. I'll get the post, one second. [20:19] sriramoman, no, I was writing assembly codes and I managed to flip the wrong bit. i stopped writing assembly codes soon after. [20:19] hmmm... you use gnome Ali_ix ? [20:19] <_2> pici reposting. i'm having a very odd boot issue. when i boot the linux kernel from hda and mount /dev/hdb it's empty but when i boot the linux kernel from hdc and mount /dev/hdb that's where my linux root fs is. how can a drive change address in linux ? [20:19] mohi: yes [20:19] bobbob1016, thousands of people use the current kernel without any issues whatsoever :p [20:19] Warrior--: It's fine, wubi creates a 'fake' partitiion. It's just a image file. Read the Wubi FAQ I sent you to. [20:19] Ali_ix: oh! hi :) :D [20:19] Hasone, what were you building with assembler? [20:19] bobbob1016: Thanks!!! It worked! :) [20:19] warrior, I had great results with Wubi, but it's less stable than a normal install. [20:20] Strange issue, after having removed the standard nvidia-glx & letting the restricted drivers install the nvidia-glx-new.. I suddenly cannot connect to my WiFi network anymore. [20:20] (Fresh installation) [20:20] heh, just as my nick timed out. [20:20] Ali_ix: I have kubuntu with this problem! and the same issue in 2 systems! :( [20:20] Ali_ix - its telling me that the "super block" is unreadable and/or is no valid ext2 data system... [20:20] thefish, I got stuck at 42%! doom is upon us! [20:20] can anyone help with mono? [20:20] sriramoman, do u have a walkthru for installation with virtualbox? [20:20] hasone: oh noes!! [20:20] Hasone: sush up.. lol [20:20] mahadasda: so you have some problems there, google for some repiar how-to's [20:20] <_2> one more question, does lilo support using UUID's ? [20:21] thefish: there go my 5 beers, heh [20:21] hasone: it's prolly just working though, give it time [20:21] mahadasda: in most cases it is treatable :) [20:21] ramkumar, peh, we charge anyway [20:21] Ali_ix - but its telling me its not a valid ext2. and thats ok since its a ext3 ^_^ [20:21] eatatjoes: i dint get u. what did u mean by walkthru? [20:21] sriramoman, like guide to how to set it up [20:21] _2, not as far as I know [20:22] anyone that have used bluetooth and ubuntu? I wanna use my bluetooth headset [20:22] Ali_ix and i still have access to all files, i just cant change anything, delete anything or create anything new [20:22] wrekk: i have, with my phone [20:22] <_2> cwillu ok. thanks. [20:22] thefish: ramkumar, I can now shush up since I'm at 44. but you won't be able to stop me from celebrating the 50% unpacked mark. [20:22] _2, for further reference, googling 'lilo uuid' (although certainly less social) helps improve the traffic levels in here :p [20:22] Wrekk: I spent like 3 hours trying to get Bluetooth to work with Ubuntu before finally realizing that my laptop doesn't have Bluetooth. [20:22] ramkumar, ok, how do I scan for it in ubuntu? [20:22] cwillu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=768200&highlight=hardy+lockup posts #3 and #9 say they compiled new kernels, 3 did -23, 9 did -25 and they worked fine. I'd prefer -25 since I want to go forward not backward, post #1 says there is a bug posted. [20:22] eatatjoes: it has a windows-like help file, easy to understand. But remember to install kchmviewer to aid u read though [20:22] bobbob1016, you on hardy or gutsy? [20:23] RyanPrior, hehe... but mine have :) [20:23] pen15 [20:23] wrekk: right click on the bluetooth icon in the notification area, then browse device [20:23] mahadasda: google teh error you got, there might be some things to look for in your filesystem, sime thing is wrong there and the system will remount it as read-olny automatically [20:23] Can i install Ubuntu 8.04 without any CD, i mean via the ISO file through Windows ? [20:23] cwillu, hardy [20:23] bobbob1016, what brand of computer? [20:23] Ali_ix - ok thanks allot! [20:23] wrekk: it found my phone without a hitch, and connected [20:23] Warrior--: you can do that with Wubi, yes. [20:23] bobbob1016, and can you tell me the output of uname -a? [20:23] ramkumar, not sure I have one such icon :) [20:24] eatatjoes: but i dont think u would need much help to setup, it is a no-mind blogger issue. just see to it that after setting up basic windows, u make use of all setting options possible for best results [20:24] Warrior--: just download Wubi off the 'net and run it, and it'll let you install Ubuntu without burning a CD. [20:24] Warrior--: Sorry but the questions you keep asking here are on the FAQ I sent you. Reading it would do you good. [20:24] cwillu, Acer, 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [20:24] Warrior--: http://wubi-installer.org/ [20:24] wrekk: run bluetooth-applet from the terminal [20:24] bobbob1016, how often does it lock up? [20:24] sriramoman, i get this error "" [20:24] bobbob1016, is your nick registered? [20:24] wrekk: it should show up then [20:24] sriramoman, "VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and execute '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start' as root." [20:24] This just isn't logical, I installed nvidia-glx-new & suddenly.. I cannot connect to my WiFi network anymore. How does that make sense at all? [20:24] can I diff a directory with its backup directory to see if permissions on a file have changed? Is there a better way of doing this? [20:24] <`moon`> say my internet just froze up, where would I look to find the logs on what happened? [20:25] i'm using kde with ubuntu, and I cannot find anything under the K menu for changing desktop resolution, and there is no system-config-display === `moon` is now known as moon` [20:25] Solusian, it probably installed a new kernel too, now you dont have the modules for the new kernel [20:25] since upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, I can't play audio cd's. I upgraded via 'apt-get dist-upgrade' [20:25] Ali_ix - jsut to check. is the command "fsck.ext3 devicename"? [20:25] Sorry, it's my first time that i'm installing Ubuntu :) [20:25] cwillu, Not every two minutes or anything, I'd say once a day to once every two days, something like that. It's more that the mouse freezes, I have a KVM, and the mouse works fine on the other machine when it freezes in hardy, so I know the mouse is fine [20:25] Pollywog: can you hear other sounds? [20:25] mahadasda: yes [20:25] ramkumar, nope :/ [20:25] Enselic: yes and I see the music files in Konqueror [20:25] hello [20:26] cwillu, I see your PM now [20:26] sound works [20:26] wrekk: do you get any error message? [20:26] thefish: How do I go about setting that one straight? I was using ndiswrapper with my AR5007EG to get it working [20:26] "some" people on this channel [20:26] just can't play audio cd's [20:26] Ali_ix - and nothing like "media/devicename"? only the device name is enough? [20:26] Thats ok Warrior-- but keep in mind, lots and lots of people come here the first time and have the same questions as you: that's why the faq is there, you help you during these times [20:26] ramkumar, nothing... [20:26] Pollywog: exactly what is it in the use case of playing audio CDs that fails? [20:26] wrekk: ok, go to preferences -> bluetooth [20:26] Ali_ix - couse somehow img etting the same error as when giving in an invalid device or wrong command [20:26] mahadasda: the /dev/xxx path [20:26] Solusian, no idea sorry, I had the same problem with my intel, and just needed to install the ubuntu modules for the new kernel [20:26] can I blow off steam here? [20:26] Ali_ix - ok [20:26] Enselic, grip says it can't find the cd, and amarok says essentially the same [20:26] I added a rule in /etc/sudoers: "%vboxusers ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /opt/bin/vbox-network_start". Now when running /opt/bin/vbox-network_start, i runs as root, without being asked for a password, great. But it doesn't set the "USERNAME" shell variable anymore, why? [20:27] ramkumar, kan inte browse anything there [20:27] but the cd will play if I push the button on the drive [20:27] wrekk: prata svenska? heh [20:27] thefish: Ugh, that sucks. Luckily I have a wired connection -here-.. but that's just here. [20:27] hi.. very strange thing just happened. I tried to suspend and it didn't return from suspend there was only hdd activity so I restarted the computer and now I get grub error 17.. how do I check the disks for error? [20:27] ramkumar, jag talar hyffsat bra :) [20:27] wrekk: you don't see bluetooth under preferences? [20:27] Solusian, sorry not used ndiswrapper before [20:27] sake ls -l /dir1 > dir1.log, ls -l /dir2 > dir2.log, diff -u dir1.log dir2.log > diff_on_dir1_dir2.log, less diff_on_dir1_dir2.log [20:28] wrekk: my swedish isn't good, i just know a little bit :) [20:28] ramkumar, jo det gör jag... men kan inte leta reda på något [20:28] Can someone help me with a display issue? [20:28] Ali_ix - so for example "fsck.ext3 /media/device" [20:28] 50%. JUMP for joy!!!eleven [20:28] evilamoeba: just ask please [20:28] wrekk: oops, too fast...that'll take some time for me to understand, heh [20:28] why the heck can I resize ntfs partitions with GParted although that totally messes up the ntfs partition? [20:28] unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes,fsck,fsck,fsck,umount, sleep [20:28] !anyone | evilamoeba [20:28] evilamoeba: 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? [20:29] ramkumar, ah oki... I find it there... but i cant browse anything ... just activate some options [20:29] exco: Ive resized ntfs partitions.... oh god, sooooo many times, and I never had any problems [20:29] someone should really get some slapping for that [20:29] wrekk: ah, that's ok...just check if other devices are allowed to connect? [20:29] mahadasda: it is: fsck /dev/sda (for example) [20:29] My external monitor, which worked fine under a previous Ubuntu release, no longer seems to connect. What should I do to investigate the problem? [20:29] wrekk: and in the services tab, if input and audio are running? [20:30] xpoint: brilliant, thanks! [20:30] I have a backup (of course) - but the hours that go into that... rendering my laptop useless for hours... just pisses me off [20:30] evilamoeba: Did you upgrade, or reinstall fresh? Are you using a graphics card? [20:30] how can I get amarok to play audio cd's? This was working until I upgraded to Hardy [20:30] Sake, np [20:30] somewhere somehow /usr/bin/ssh-agent x-session-manager is getting started whenever I restart GDM -- is there some setting for it somewhere? -- I can't seem to track it down in any config or etc file [20:30] RyanPrior: I upgraded. I'm using an Nvidia graphics card. [20:30] why didn't I just use PartitionMagic? (How could I've been so dumb?) [20:30] Amarok is not playing ogg, mp3, or wav files [20:31] maybe I need some sort of drivers? [20:31] is there a good command-line diff program to visualize changes? [20:31] exco: yes, yes how could you -_-; [20:31] :-) [20:31] evilamoeba: There have been some problems with Nvidia graphics card drivers lately. In what way does the external monitor not work correctly? [20:31] I think I was just enjoying how I could do everything without booting Windows [20:31] every time I upgrade kubuntu or ubuntu, something breaks [20:32] ramkumar, how do I check if my bluetooth is installed? [20:32] Ali_ix - so in my case (lets say device label is "label") fsck.ext3 /dev/by-label/nwkomp_de"? [20:32] RyanPrior: I cannot send the image to the external monitor. I have a laptop, so I'd normally press Fn+F3 and the image would switch over to the external monitor. Now, nothing happens when I press the button, and nothing is showing up on the external monitor. [20:32] Wrekk, hcitool dev [20:32] mahadasda: it should work too [20:32] Pollywog: can Ubuntu find CDs that are not Audio CDs? [20:32] ramkumar, and they are checked in audio and such [20:32] Enselic: yes [20:32] cwillu, dont show anything :/ [20:32] Enselic: yes, I can read other types of files on CD's [20:32] this is annoying, how can I manage that my applications are started on a specific monitor ? I have 4 :S [20:33] wrekk: and in general, the notification area icon is enabled? [20:33] Pollywog: can you browse the CD in Nautilus? [20:33] Wrekk, just one blank looking line? [20:33] so now I'm restoring my Windows partition from inside that vbox XP from my fileserver through wireles... and that's probably gonna take the rest of the night... [20:33] Ali_ix - i keep getting no suck file or directory... [20:33] ramkumar, it checked [20:33] Enselic: I can see the files on an audio CD and in Konqueror... let me check nautilus [20:33] can someone please tell me what the purpose of tracker file indexing is, when I have no problems searching for data files that are logically organized? [20:33] cwillu, its just say Device: [20:33] wrekk: basically you need to check if bluez-utils and bluez-gnome are installed [20:33] cwillu, bland [20:33] Gary_inNYC, its for searcvhing inside files as well [20:33] mahadasda: so try fdisk -l (as root) to find the devie name (/dev/xxx) [20:33] Ali_ix - it was a tippo, working now. thanks [20:33] ramkumar, they are :/ [20:34] for thumbnails as such? [20:34] Wrekk, then no bluetooth [20:34] evilamoeba: Have you tried using any of the included tools, such as Screen Resolution? [20:34] Gary_inNYC, eg, someone told you in an IM session their address etc [20:34] how can I prevent gnome-terminal to startup in my xfce session? [20:34] mahadasda: ;) [20:34] cwillu, I have in windows :) [20:34] Does anyone know of a RECENT guide on how to record What You Hear on your computer... Please, I've been searching for DAYS! :) [20:34] Gary_inNYC, inside docs as well, it can be useful if you ask it specific enough questions [20:34] Ali_ix - its telling me that using e2fsck on a hung up HD can do some damage...? [20:35] ic for metatag searches [20:35] RyanPrior: I clicked the detect displays button in Screen Resolution, but to no avail. The configuration dialog displays only my laptop monitor. [20:35] hi, has anyone ever used a Yoggie GateKeeper Pico under Ubuntu? [20:35] wrekk: strange, nothing even in hcitool dev? [20:35] ramkumar, nope [20:35] mahadasda: it is weird, i am not so into fsck things [20:35] Does anybody here have experience with udev rules? [20:35] does it contribute to better performance in things like rhythmbox? [20:35] Gary_inNYC, it can be, but i dont know if thats implemented, there is stuff you can do with extended attrs [20:35] Hello All, loving Ubuntu 8.04 - congrats to all involved. I'm wondering if there is a simple equivalent to the XP command "ipconfig /renew" to renew the DHCP address? [20:35] evilamoeba: does lspci detect both monitors? [20:35] Ali_ix - k ill read up on it. thanks again! [20:35] how can i connect to another server? [20:36] Simon-MPFH: dhclient I believe [20:36] Enselic: Nautilus does not show the files but sound juicer came up and it does show them [20:36] Googling... [20:36] Mpakas: which protocol? [20:36] no with command [20:36] i use x-chat [20:36] Simon-MPFH: I think you can just sudo dhclient, but i'm not entirely sure [20:36] Enselic: sound juicer plays them [20:36] cwillu, so I have bouetooth in my laptop... dont know how I get it to work ... [20:36] Hasone, come on, what % you up to now eh? [20:36] /server [20:36] Enselic: thanks [20:36] hi [20:36] thefish: it quite in a storm of hash sum mismatches. [20:36] thefish: kk thanks for the information :) was actually debating whether or not to keep it running in the background as it starts itself on by default [20:36] /server <> but when i type this [20:36] Enselic: this means the problem is in KDE [20:36] Mpakas: /server irc.server.here [20:36] what was that cleaning command, then? [20:37] it disconnect me [20:37] form the another [20:37] from the other server [20:37] hasone: sudo apt-get clean [20:37] Hasone, thats not good [20:37] I had bluetooth working on my laptop in Hardy [20:37] and that other command I should've been using, thefish or koutovo or whoever? [20:37] try -m irc.... [20:37] for irc i know [20:37] /server -m ? [20:37] ramkumar, should i use something besides sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [20:37] /server -m [20:37] ? [20:37] RyanPrior: No. As far as I can tell, neither monitor is listed by lspci. [20:37] exco, tell me how :) [20:37] hi all. I'm updating from 7.10 to 8.04 right now. Is it normal that last message for a 30 minutes is "ldconfig deferred processing now taking place"? [20:38] exco, got any nice HOW-TO? [20:38] I just installed Hardy (started with Alpha 5) and it was working out of the box [20:38] kivsiak: mine took 3 hours on 6meg DSL [20:38] Hasone, did you check the md5 of the download? [20:38] kivsiak: it can take awhile, got a slow computer? [20:38] i downloaded and installed the virtualbox.deb from virtualbox.org and i duno where it is, can anyone help? [20:38] hasone: try the clean command, and the nautilus again [20:38] um, no, how do I do that? [20:38] hasone: md5sum [20:38] /server -m ? [20:38] kousotu: it is not DLing part, it is ldconfig part [20:38] the german link please [20:39] Ali_ix: 3 hours total, thanks [20:39] Hasone, on the disk, once its burned you can also check: cd to cdrom mount, md5sum -c ./md5sum.txt [20:39] Ali_ix: please stop trying to correct me [20:39] kivsiak: give it some more time, nd also see if it is actually working (and hdd, cpu activity) [20:39] Hasone, every package is failing on md5? [20:39] thefish: not every package, just a lot of them. [20:39] kousotu: sorry, didnt meant to make you upset [20:40] thefish: how do I md5 on a windows machine? no internet on the ubuntu one. [20:40] Hasone, thats a bugger - we can hope there is enough to repair things though [20:40] Ali_ix: not upset, yet [20:40] is it possible I can just fix my internet first? [20:40] Ali_ix - hey sorry to bother u again. its not my pc and i jsut checked it again and its not ext3 its vfat. i tried "fsck.vfat /dev/disk/by-label/nwkomp_de" and now it tells me "FATs differ but appear to be intact. Use which FAT?" (1 or 2). any ideas on this? [20:40] Hasone, you just put the cd in and run md5sum, no interweb required [20:40] anyone know if the transmission BT client in hardy has some sort of memory leak or something? [20:40] i never downloaded the md5sum, I don't think. but I'll try. [20:41] Hasone, the md5sum is a check to see that the package has not changed from what is expected [20:41] mahadasda , use fsck.vfat -va [20:41] automatic repair and verbose mode [20:41] mahadasda: what do you mean by FAT 1 or 2? === rob__ is now known as r0bby_ [20:41] i'm downloading some distro iso's and my memory usage goes crazy and ends up taking up my entire 8GB and starts using swap [20:41] hasone: md5sum should already be present in ubuntu, no internet required [20:41] Ali_ix it gives me 2 options "use first fat" or "use second fat" [20:41] evilamoeba: Yeah, come to think of it lspci and lshw don't list monitors. Well, the best I can tell you is to keep asking, and hopefully somebody who knows more than I do will answer. Make sure that when you ask you include information about what goes wrong, what you've tried, and the fact that you've got a laptop and an Nvidia graphics card. [20:41] and it doesn't seem to clear up as a remove torrents form it or even when I close it [20:41] is it possible to use a Yoggie GateKeeper Pico on Ubuntu? [20:42] Wrekk: bluez-audio bluez-gnome bluez-utils installed? [20:42] mib_56b8am - ill try that [20:42] !hardware | Le1 [20:42] Le1: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [20:42] exco, yes all three [20:42] Ali_ix. ok. the hdd led is still blinking. but 30 minutes without any new line on core duo cpu making me think that somthing going wrong [20:42] wrekk: can you set the notification icon to show always in the bluetooth preferences? and see if it still works? [20:42] Ali_ix: my uptade, from start to finish was about 3 hours [20:42] RyanPrior: Alright. Thank you for your time. [20:42] All right lads... I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 with Firefox 3b5. I've installed the non-free flash plugin, from Adobe, and it sort of works, but all flash applications are very slow and they wont play any audio. Any ideas? [20:42] bluetooth manager available? [20:43] Hasone, now because they are failing, it means they are not the expected packages, this means they are either tampered with, or more likely corrupted during cd burning [20:43] what kind of bluetooth device? [20:43] sjk: that's a known issue with flash and pulseaudio [20:43] kousotu: mine took 7 hours, most in downloading part [20:43] Well I don't really know which category it would come under [20:43] Hasone, lets see what happens once its all done though [20:43] Ali_ix: sucks to be you? [20:43] md5 sums are correctso far. [20:43] It's the hardware security thing... would that be a network card or... [20:43] kivsiak: it may be normal, if you have many installed packages [20:43] Ali_ix: I am on a 1.86gh processor [20:43] ramkumar, see the icon... but I cant search for anything [20:43] except for one, where there's a failure to open or read. [20:43] more than one, actually. [20:44] does anybody else experience too high temps in Hardy? [20:44] can we pretty please fix my internet so I dont't have to deal with this? is this possible? [20:44] what is the best way to go for virtualization? [20:44] kousotu: sucks to have a 128kbit adsl access to internet, === paranic__ is now known as paranic [20:44] hasone: do you have another ubuntu cd you could try? [20:44] ramkumar, I recently installed Ubuntu but I've been using this computer for many years and I've had no problem with flash earlier. Right now I cannot even view youtube. [20:44] Ali_ix: that would explain it [20:44] Ali_ix: lol [20:44] uhm, *cough* I just deleted my /etc/fstab. that was smart. where do I find the default one? [20:44] kousotu: i am on a overclocked 2.6ghz core due [20:44] z [20:44] ramkumar, i could burn another one. [20:44] k its checking the disk... hope something good comes out... [20:44] Benb, ouch [20:44] sjk: yup, it's a new issue with flash and pulseaudio [20:44] Hasone, http://www.irnis.net/gloss/md5-utility.shtml [20:45] sjk: basically if you're running another app (say rhythmbox), it doesn't let go of the sound driver for flash [20:45] sjk: and vice versa [20:45] sjk: sjk: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/220759 [20:45] Launchpad bug 220759 in pulseaudio "Please Disable Pulse Audio In New Hardy Installs" [Undecided,New] [20:45] sjk: there's a workaround there though...but some have said it made firefox unstable [20:45] mib_56b8am: can you pastebin yours maybe, if you haven't modified it (apart from adding entries)? [20:45] I has a question. === marc__ is now known as marcounet [20:46] Hasone, download that, check that the md5 matches http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/releases.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/MD5SUMS [20:46] sjk: you could still try the workaround there...install libflashsupport [20:46] shoot [20:46] disable pulse: noooooo!

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:46] Sorry. :s [20:46] Anyway. My panels are frozen, which means I can't get at my applications menu, or any other item listed in them. [20:47] should I downolad a cd besides the alternate cd? and I'm sorry to bite the hand that feeds me, but is there anyone here tha can help me with my internet because i think that would make it easier for all involved? [20:47] But I can click on the icons in the notification area to bring up whatever I need. [20:47] can someoen teach me virtualization?

[20:47] nvidia-settings says that i appear not to have NVIDIA X driver. 'nvidia-xconfig' does not change anything. "System -> Hardware Drivers" says that "Nvidia accelerated graphics driver" is enabled. help appreciated [20:47] hasone: i'm thinking the internet and nautilus could all be related...prolly that's why people aren't worrying about that now [20:47] !ubottu [20:47] Factoid ubottu not found [20:48] ramkumar: when I run update manager, I have a bunch of packages that are grayed out. might that make some sort of difference? [20:48] so my md5s are off? [20:48] download the file again [20:48] ubottu is a pain sometimes [20:49] Hasone, your wireless is not working because some package somewhere is broken, same as your nautilus, same as the rest of the stuff [20:49] thefish: *le sigh* [20:49] Hasone: just updated, restart again [20:49] Hasone: happened to me [20:49] Trying to unrar a 8gb rar file System monitor shows that only 23% CPU usage on my dual core system ? [20:49] to anyone: would anyone know how to steal the internet from my windows box using usbs? [20:49] ramkumar, wow, very interesting. So so is Pulse Audio just a sound daemon? Could I replace it with something else? [20:49] sjk: yes, you could revert back to Alsa [20:49] Rar is using only 8% of CPU ? [20:50] alsa > pulseaudio [20:50] Hasone: Internet over USB is difficult as best. [20:50] dimitree: nothing suspicious [20:50] Especially because you need special cables. [20:50] Okay, I've been living on google for a few days now and I'm admitting defeat. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to enable the Composite extension in Xorg under Hardy 8.04. I changed the Composite extension option in xorg.conf to enabled, but it still says it's unavailable. Does anyone know how to get this enabled? I'm using the nvidia driver from nvidia's site. [20:50] sjk: i saw some howtos somewhere...google should bring them up [20:50] Ali_ix, shouldn't it use 100% CPU or something ? [20:50] severedcross: it seems it's the only option I have if I want internets before we fix this. [20:50] HenZo: disable xinerama [20:50] Hasone, sudo modprobe ipw2200 again, then check under system > administration > network and see if you can see wireless [20:50] crdlb: oh? [20:50] Hasone: listen to me [20:50] dimitree: may be the applications isnt optimized well enough for dual core systems. [20:50] kousotu, yeah? [20:50] crdlb: I have dual monitors - is that a problem? [20:51] kousotu: I'm listening. [20:51] I just recently installed Ubuntu - I have always used alsa (or well, I used oss before alsa.) I think it's strange that Ubuntu ships with Pulse Audio instead of Alsa [20:51] Ali_ix, ok thanks [20:51] HenZo: nvidia does not support xinerama + Composite [20:51] Hasone: restert AFTER the hrdy restart [20:51] Hasone: AFAIK, you need special cables because of the way USB is designed (with the whole master-slave daisy chaining, etc.) [20:51] HenZo: no, just use twinview or two distinct screens [20:51] sjk: Actually, I think Ubuntu uses ALSA behind PA. [20:51] sudo modprobe ipw2200 yields nothing. [20:51] what really sucks is restoring your ntfs partition from a backup just because GParted messed it up - doesn't it? [20:51] Because PA is just a daemon, I don't know that it talks to the sound hardware itself. [20:51] you cannot try to fake-merge them with xinerama [20:51] Or am I getting confused. [20:51] sudo modprobe ipw2200 yields nothing., thefish [20:51] hi.. it's me.. I was asking about that grub error 17.. I managed to fix it by running livecd and running fsck, it found some kernel modules corrupt and probably removed them because I can no longer connect to internet from the .16 kernel.. how do I restore it back to how it was? [20:51] (reinstall modules) [20:51] Hasone, it wont - check if it can see your wireless [20:51] Hasone: It's not supposed to, modprobe gives you no info. [20:51] kousotu, I don't know what you mean by hardy restart. [20:52] SeveredCross, *nod* [20:52] Hasone: You can also check dmesg to see if there's any information there. [20:52] crdlb: wow... okay, I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestion, be right back. [20:52] Has anyone else had a problem with their panels freezing? I just upgrated to 8.04, if that info's worth anything help-wise. [20:53] Hasone: after you update, the PC restarts, yes? [20:53] Poindextra: your panels ALWAYS freezes? even after login? any custom applets using in panels? [20:53] kousotu, the update doesn't finish. I crashed in the middle of the update the first time. [20:53] Is there a way to get back /dev/cdrom? [20:53] Ali_ix: Not that I'm aware of. This is the first time they've frozen, so I'm concerned. [20:53] Hasone: ah.. [20:54] Hasone, did you check to see if it noticed the wireless nic? [20:54] Poindextra, are you by any chance running compiz? [20:54] I think I might be. Would that cause a problem? [20:54] i don't know which system app you're reffering to. I'm in espanol. trying to switch to english as we speak. [20:54] Hasone: updated gusty as far as it will go? [20:55] Poindextra: if it crashed again, check your applets. may be some cinflicts are in configs [20:55] kousotu: I updated gutsy after it crashed as far as it would go. AFter I restarted after that, I started getting my problems. [20:55] Poindextra, it happened to freeze sometimes when I was running compiz.. so I turned it off [20:55] Where can I find compiz and turn it off? [20:55] Poindextra: System > Preferences > Appearance [20:55] Poindextra: Turn off Compiz via System > Preferences > Appearance "Visual Effects" tab... it is responsible for a lot of issues. [20:55] thefish: I think I'm in the configure-network dialog. [20:55] Hasone: so the are no more updates for gutsy? [20:55] kousotu: i don't know. [20:56] Ah. I think I'll restart and try that, then. Thankies! [20:56] Hasone: in terminal: Sudo apt-get update [20:56] kousotu: I have no interwebs, and update manager gives me weird "partial update" errors. [20:56] kousotu: yes... for about another year... [20:56] Hasone: in terminal: sudo apt-get update [20:56] kousotu: there are updates for another 12months [20:56] kousotu: there haven't been any since Hardy's release, but it will continue to get updates for about a year [20:56] hiredgoon: I know this [20:56] kousotu, Hasone dist-upgrade may be better [20:56] kousotu: normal releases are good for 18 months after release... LTS for 3 years on the desktop and 5 years server [20:57] ... [20:57] kousotu: my database is messed u. it's half-upgraded [20:57] how can I be sure what got damaged by the suspend? (I lost some kernel modules and am not sure what else) [20:57] Hasone: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [20:57] i think I'm in network-configuration, thefish. is that where you wanted me to go? [20:57] Hasone: hm... donno how to help you there [20:57] Hasone: does that return any errors? [20:57] hasone: try the dist upgrade [20:57] Enselic: I found the problem... /dev/cdrom disappeared [20:58] I made the link again [20:58] Can I get some help with restricted drivers please? Ever since the 7.10 update I can't seem to get the nvidia drivers to activate? [20:58] Well I had to downgrade to Gutsy as the laptop was getting so hot and was rebooting most of the time since I upgraded to Hardy [20:58] kousotu: sorry, should have been Hasone [20:58] ladynikon: what's the problem? you don't see anything in the restricted drivers manager? [20:58] fde: I'll try it again. I have no internet, so it's been working off the cd. so far, it has some hash errors of some sort, I think. I'm going to try re-burning the cd, checking the md5, and then re-downloading f I have to. [20:59] hiredgoon: ???? [20:59] ramkumar: its there but says "not in use" the enabled box is checked [20:59] < kousotu> Hasone: so the are no more updates for gutsy? [20:59] Hasone: Don't tell errors in such a generic way... paste the output to paste.ubuntu.com [20:59] Hasone, does it have any wireless cards in there? [20:59] thefish: um... not really? it never did. [20:59] hmm.. seems like ubuntu renamed my drive from hda to sdb, can I rename it back? [20:59] Hasone, ok - is the upgrade still running? [20:59] kane77: use UUID's in fstab file [20:59] fde: I'll be upgrading for the next 20 mins to a half hour, I think. [21:00] kane77, if you like using behaviour that's been deprecated for 2 years now :p [21:00] Hasone: "errors of some sort" isn't helpful, there are many people those errors mean something to, so it's important to include them verbatim... [21:00] mojo: hey [21:00] ladynikon: type sudo depmod -a in a terminal [21:00] I'll get the errors from the last ugrade attempt. just a moment. [21:00] mojo: u thought of smthn new?:P [21:00] Hasone: thank you :) [21:00] ladynikon: then restart x (ctrl-alt-backspace), and check? [21:00] hello, I upgraded to hardy from gutsy, and now my mouse doesn't work. I also have a crash reporting, but I don't know how to look at it, since my mouse isnt working [21:00] I am having some trouble getting wirelss to work with my Netgear WG111v2. I have disabled the rtl8187-driver, installed the correct driver using ndiswrapper and I can now see the computer as connected in the device list in my linksys router. However, the computer doesn't get an ip address assigned. What is the next step? [21:00] ramkumar: k brb [21:00] fde: do they have logs for the terminal? [21:01] Hasone: yes... apt has its own log also... /var/log/apt/term.log [21:01] say is anyone currently using the Kubuntu KDE4? I am on Kubuntu Hardy and I am downloading KDE4 to try it out but I didn't realize that it was "way unstable" as I have read just now [21:01] hello [21:01] ramkumar: same [21:01] fde: then I'll get that right over to you. [21:02] ladynikon: *bump* [21:02] Hasone: Appreciated :) [21:02] maunykah, file a bug with the blog that gave you the impression it was stable software :p [21:02] ladynikon: it's an nvidia card right? [21:02] yep [21:02] is it true that installing Hardy on eeepc on SD card doesn't really work? anyone has experience with that? [21:02] ramkumar: and it worked fine before i updated 7.10 [21:02] fde: then I'll get that right over to you. where would the ... part of ...apt normally be? ~? [21:03] ladynikon: can you check if nvidia-glx-new is installed? [21:03] I really could use some help with my mouse, any takers? [21:03] oh no I haven't tried KDE4 yet..I was trying to read up on it while I'm waiting for it to finish installing..is it really buggy? [21:03] Hasone: The error will be at the bottom... cuz it won't have been able to continue. [21:03] hi to all [21:03] someone know a working way to check temperatures in hardy heron ? lm-sensors doesn't work for me .... :( [21:03] ladynikon: if it's not, install it and check again [21:03] fde, I ran update before. it's updating again, now. the error should be in a log somewhere, AI'm trynig to find where. [21:04] ramkumar: how do i reinstall it? i tried to download the driver from nvidia but it says i need to kill x [21:04] ramkumar: so i guess the question is how do i kill x? [21:04] People having issues with Nvidia or ATI really ought to check out 'envyng-gtk' or 'envyng-qt' depending on your favorite desktop... probably gtk if you don't know the diff [21:04] ladynikon: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [21:04] Petengy: in what way does lm-sensors not work for you? [21:04] ah [21:05] where can I get a .deb for the xmms gtk 1 package, it isn't on the hardy universe [21:05] ladynikon: you'll prolly have to restart the computer after that, but i'm hoping it'll work after that [21:06] i'm at 24%. it failed around 65% last time. [21:06] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [21:06] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [21:06] but there isnt anything using it [21:06] ramkumar: ^ [21:06] ladynikon: hmm, can you restart your computer and try? [21:07] LadyNikon: you used sudo? ps -e shows nothing at all? just because you can't see anything, doesn't mean there is nothing. [21:07] LadyNikon, it you're sure there's nothing using it, just delete the lock file [21:07] morning, i have a grub 25 error at stage 2 after a fresh installation; anyone able to help? [21:07] LadyNikon, but be really sure [21:07] i.e., no open synaptic, no apt-* running in the background, etc [21:07] are uuid's constant? i.e .if i wipe my PC and reimport my /etc/fstab to a new install - my drive's uuid's will be the same? [21:07] ladynikon: not sure, but apparently some process somewhere is using it [21:07] ramkumar: lemme reboot and see [21:07] ph8, they're particular to the partitions iirc [21:07] cwillu: more than likely update-manager's applet checking the repos or something. [21:08] LadyNikon: Please don't. [21:08] hey, i'm using twinview in hardy heron 32 bit, but it will only detect one of my monitors at a time, any help? [21:08] hello [21:08] fde, which would show as an apt running in the background :p [21:08] nautilus doesn't seem to be remembering my alternate programs in the context menu.. for example gthumb on folders [21:08] fde: dont what? [21:08] thx cwillu [21:08] how do i run an exe in ubuntu ? [21:08] just ./xxxx.exe ??? [21:08] matthias_: wine [21:08] LadyNikon: Don't just reboot... please run 'ps -e' and see if anything about 'update-manager' or 'synaptic' or 'apt-' is running. [21:08] matthias_: .exe is not a linux file extention [21:08] crdlb: that got Composite working, thanks! [21:08] hello can someone help me i am new to linux and UBUNTU, i installed it on my dell tablet this morning using the ALTERNATE CD..... i can get in but it hangs at the rc.d screen, i can ctrl-alt-f1 out but i can't START SCREENX , it fails and says Screens found but none have usable config, i have ATI card in it... can i just somehow start in dumb vga mode [21:08] matthias: exe are windows executables. you'll need a windows interpreter [21:08] but wine does not support printer drivers or ??? [21:09] fde: I'll have the error file in about 10, 20 mins. [21:09] still can't get desktop effects, but at least I'm a step closer I guess... [21:09] Hasone: I'll be here :) [21:09] HenZo: What card brand? [21:09] fde: as soon as the upgrade crashes. maybe after apt-get clean, it won't. wish me luck. [21:09] i have seen somewhere i think for the wireless where i could rin an exe extension if i am not misstaken ... [21:09] matthias_: Wait.. You're trying to install a windows printer driver in Linux? O.o [21:09] matthias: i would better be able to answer your question if i knew what you were trying to do [21:09] ladynikon: see anything in ps -e? [21:10] matthias_: Is it a .net app or a windows app? [21:10] ramkumar: I see synaptic, update manager and update-notifier.. but there is 00:00:00 next to them [21:10] ramkumar: example: 6920 pts/0 00:00:00 synaptic [21:11] i need somebody to help me with some acpi issues , i cant figure out a way to bind the fn keys to the video_brightnessdown.sh scripts [21:11] ladynikon: yep, so there are other processes...you need to stop those [21:11] oliver_g_, I installed xsenors and folloewd wiki to installa properly lm-sensors but nothing waork for me [21:11] o [21:11] fde: yes and no the application is for aix/ and linux supposley for my lexmark printer ... [21:11] fde: nvidia [21:11] hello [21:11] wen i trying to install ubuntu. on part.4 in selecting partition i get Error says: roon no found [21:11] ramkumar: why is it running since i never initiated it? [21:11] !hi | sergiuu [21:11] sergiuu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:11] fde: an desperate try to get my printer to work ... [21:11] HenZo: try 'envyng-gtk' as a GUI to get that card working. [21:12] is in ubuntu repository for hardy the azureus with human icons? [21:12] oliver_g_, with acpi -t I can read cpu temp [21:12] Hi all..... i'm getting a strange problems with Hardy (fresh install). All my tty look scrambled. can anyone help me? [21:12] root* [21:12]  trident523 hi [21:12] fde: tried that once before, hosed everything hardcore - trying to avoid that if I can [21:12] ramkumar: can't tell really, might be something that wasn't stopped from an earlier instance :/ [21:12] oops...ladynikon ^ [21:13] heh gotcha [21:13] heh i need sleep [21:13] can someone help me get flashplayer installed? [21:13] supposely for unix/linux .... [21:13] LadyNikon: pkill -HUP synaptic ... then again for update-manager ... should be fine to leave update-notifier. [21:13] Comparing resolution (2560x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed. [21:13] gurgur, sure. Whats your issue with flash? [21:13] fde: supposely for unix/linux .... [21:13] kill -HUP synaptic [21:13] oops [21:13] ladynikon: yup, do what fde said and then i'm pretty sure installing that nvidia-glx-new will solve your problem [21:13] Trying to use TwinView - dual monitors, 1280x1024 each [21:14] LadyNikon: pkill ... like process kill [21:14] seems to be treating it as one big display instead of two, though... so Compiz won't run [21:14] HenZo: what card? [21:14] fde: it was the id [21:14] crdlb: GeForce MX 4000 [21:14] fde: ladynikon@ladynikon-desktop:~$ kill -HUP 6998 [21:14] -bash: kill: (6998) - Operation not permitted [21:14] LadyNikon: pkill lets you kill by binary name... kill requires process number [21:14] gurgur, please open terminal, and sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [21:14] choudesh, well, i didn't manage to install it. [21:14] Hi all..... i'm getting a strange problems with Hardy (fresh install). All my tty look scrambled. can anyone help me? [21:14] what is the command to nickserv to change the pass? [21:14] LadyNikon: sudo prior to command... [21:14] ladynikon: use pkill [21:14] HenZo: ah, it's too old for that. Newer cards can handle 4096x4096 or even 8192x8192 [21:15] hello everyone-I installed all of the available media codecs(gstreamer) but when I tried to listen to an internet radio station in Amarok, I get this error message: There is no available decoder What did I do wrong? [21:15] ladynikon, and sudo, yes [21:15] anyone know why XRandR wouldn't work after enabling Nvidia proprietary binary driver? [21:15] argh this is irriating [21:15] LadyNikon: so 'sudo pkill -HUP synaptic' for instance... I swear it'll work, so don't argue :) [21:15] fde: im not [21:15] what is the command to nickserv to change the pass? [21:15] crdlb: yeah, but it should still be able to do dual monitors + compiz, shouldn't it? [21:15] im argueing at my screen mroe so than you [21:15] ladynikon, haha [21:15] HenZo: not at that resolution [21:15] HenZo: unless you use two separate screens [21:15] LadyNikon: haha... I told you a command, and you decided to translate it to something harder. [21:15] crdlb: just needs to view them as sep displays instead of one, I thought [21:15] ladynikon: what's wrong? it's not working? [21:15] Lynet: this driver is for linux/unix [21:16] crdlb: yes, that's what I want - two sep screens [21:16] fde: the screen disappears on me.. and then come sback [21:16] I get Error msg' in the install: No system root [21:16] ending with .exe strange enough ... [21:16] !Flash | gurgur if you need more help. [21:16] gurgur if you need more help.: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [21:16] what to do? [21:16] HenZo: so set it that way, it would be exactly the same as with xinerama except with xinerama disabled [21:16] LadyNikon: that is very strange... I'd ignore it though for now [21:16] hello can someone help me i am new to linux and UBUNTU, i installed it on my dell tablet this morning using the ALTERNATE CD..... i can get in but it hangs at the rc.d screen, i can ctrl-alt-f1 out but i can't START SCREENX , it fails and says Screens found but none have usable config, i have ATI card in it... can i just somehow start in dumb vga mode [21:16] crdlb: trying. :( [21:16] fde: trying til it flashes and i ahve to wipe the screen with the mouse to see anything heh [21:16] ok [21:17] matthias_: It could perhaps be a self-extracting archive. Try unzip on it. [21:17] ladynikon: yea, as long as the process is shut down, fine...run sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new after you're done killing, heh [21:17] fde: i did that command and not its just hanging [21:17] LadyNikon: it is likely due to the bad driver... which you're attempting to fix... [21:17] Behfar, firstly - do you have a Live-CD of Ubuntu? If you can get that boot properly - we can help you install and learn Ubuntu. [21:17] fde: sudo pkill -HUP synaptic ? right [21:17] I'm getting a strange problems with Hardy (fresh install). All my tty look scrambled. can anyone help me? [21:17] choudesh, livecd didn't work, i read a post where they said it wouldn't, so i used alternate cd and now i have ubuntu fully installed on its own partition [21:17] LadyNikon: yes... it should return you to the terminal .... [21:18] fde: still just sitting there [21:18] LadyNikon: run both on ctrl+alt+f1 if you'd like, just to make it stop playing up... [21:18] LadyNikon: If they refuse to die, use -9 rather than -HUP [21:18] I can deal with it.. im lazy and dont feel like switching back and forth [21:18] anyone have the gateway ml6714? [21:18] LadyNikon: -HUP is like saying "pretty please"... -9 is like getting a rusty screw driver to its eyes ;) [21:19] 802.11g Wireless LAN [21:19] haha @ fde [21:19] anyone have a driver for this? [21:19] fde: ladynikon@ladynikon-desktop:~$ sudo pkill -9 synaptic [21:19] Behfar, ok. When you get to the screen where is says to hit ESCAPE. I want you to do so. I want you to edit the boot parameters. Follow the onscreen directions and I want you to delete the "quiet and splash" parameters. Lets see what your getting hung up with. [21:19] 802.11g Wireless LAN [21:19] that still hangs [21:19] ? [21:19] can anyone help me with a twinview problem? i'm manually configuring my xorg.conf file because my monitors have diff resolutions and I can't get both monitors to work [21:19] does anyone know how to remote desktop into ubuntu [21:19] curtis, what seems to be the issue? [21:19] fde: i remember it being stuck at 44% before. it should be about 10-15 more minutes from here on out. [21:19] Lynet: it worked well let see what happens netxt ... [21:19] hello? [21:19] crdlb: do you need two device sections in xorg.conf even though it's the same card? one for each screen section? [21:19] http://www.torrentech.org/index.php?showtopic=23654 [21:20] gobot? [21:20] I think curtis had lag [21:20] Hasone: /msg me when it's done, I don't require updates periodically, I'll still be around :) [21:20] eatatjoes, yes. There is a "Remote Desktop" menu item under preferences. [21:20] !remote | eatatjoes [21:20] Factoid remote not found [21:20] !vnc | eatatjoes [21:20] eatatjoes: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [21:20] LadyNikon: That really isn't a good thing... hitting enter return you to shell? [21:20] does anyone here know of a powersupply that is quiet??? i have a p5k-e wifi , e8400 and a 8800 gt any help would be great [21:20] fde: i tried enter, Ctrl c [21:20] choudesh, livecd didn't work, i read a post where they said it wouldn't, so i used alternate cd and now i have ubuntu fully installed on its own partition [21:20] I get Error msg' in the install: No system root [21:20] can u remote into ubuntu from an xp comp? [21:21] Behfar, I understand that. I want you to boot with what you have installed and follow the directions I said before. [21:21] eatatjoes yup [21:21] ladynikon: you want to try restarting instead? [21:21] Does anyone have a link to an xorg.conf using TwinView for dual monitors off one card? [21:21] ramkumar: heh [21:21] ramkumar: okies brb [21:21] heh [21:22] Behfar, http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/05/ubuntu-how-to-edit-grub-boot-parameters.html [21:22] StephenF, do i just have to enable it under remote desktop [21:22] or install VNC? [21:22] choudesh, i think i missed it, u want me boot back off the live cd? [21:22] eatatjoes I think you can just enable it [21:22] Behfar, I just want you to delete the quiet and splash parameters. This is non-perm, I just want to see what you freeze at. [21:23] Behfar, No. Reboot your machine and follow the directions in the link I sent you. [21:23] Behfar, kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-15-generic root=UUID=fccafcc7-d7cc-4594-9459-a8f0db7b9f7f ro quiet splash in this line - delete the quiet and splash parameters === nick_ is now known as nickthorley [21:23] bazhang: hiya [21:23] Hi all..... i'm getting a strange problems with Hardy (fresh install). All my tty look scrambled. can anyone help me? [21:24] StephenF, anyway that i can test to see if it works? [21:24] i have been trying for 3 days now to get the correct driver installed for 3d acceleration (desktop effects) on my macbook pro / vmware fusion install... this is the last ditch effort for me -- and if i have to reinstall again, i won't.. i have a first generation macbook and none of the guides ive found have been any help. has anyone done this w/ success? [21:24] i know its possible ive seen it on youtube [21:24] when rebuilding an ubuntu package to change the config options [21:24] eatatjoes other than try it? [21:24] eatatjoes dont have access to xp machine? [21:24] how can i easily rename the package so that it doesn't conflict with the original [21:24] there is a progam for ubuntu that i can make music? [21:24] rvega_ar1, what do you mean "all your ttys look scrambled" [21:24] I'm booting to cli. How do I launch 'x' automatically after logging in? [21:24] StephenF, not right now [21:24] docta_v, explain a bit more [21:25] choudesh: i'm rebuilding squid to enable ssl [21:25] choudesh: when i press ctrl+alt+f1 i cant see nothing... looks like out of sync [21:25] the resulting package is squid_2.6.5-4ubuntu2.2_i386.deb [21:25] ArthurArchnix, depends. 'gdm' will most likely work. [21:25] but i want it to be something like squid_2.6.5-custom_i386.deb [21:25] Hi everybody [21:25] choudesh: a lot of colours and nothing else [21:25] choudesh: No, I've removed that. [21:25] eatatjoes umm, not that i know of [21:25] so that both packages and co-exist in a repository [21:25] err can [21:26] bazookatooth: Ubuntu as guest or host? [21:26] i grepped through the package directory i can't find where this string is defined [21:26] ok im back [21:26] HenZo: yes you do [21:26] so why do I get a network timeout when I goto comodo.com w/ my ubuntu box but not my mac box? [21:26] choudesh: i only can see garbled graphics [21:26] lynet... guest i guess? im running os x w/ ubuntu installed as a VM through fusion [21:26] docta_v, chroot that puppy. when you rebuild the package - just change the name in list file [21:26] ladynikon: great...run that command now? [21:26] ramkumar: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [21:27] rvega_ar1, hmm.. during startup does the screen look fine? During the Ubuntu Splash screen [21:27] LadyNikon: Did you do that? [21:27] bazookatooth: So you want accel 3D in the VMware fusion guest? [21:27] * LadyNikon falls over [21:27] choudesh: so i just rename the package and change it in the repo list? [21:27] fde: doing it now [21:27] whats the wiki link to fix the login screen being "big" [21:27] sanguisdex, from your linux box, on a terminal: dig comodo.com, check the ip that you get, then do the same on the mac and compare - might be dns [21:27] ladynikon: that's when you tried to install the driver? [21:27] ramkumar: affirmative [21:27] yeah, i need to get the fglrx drivers installed for my ATI Radeon X1600, aparently.. but it never works.. ive used every guide i could find [21:27] desktop effects do not work [21:27] ok choudesh i have booted the live CD and am at the menu [21:27] ladynikon: bump...then dpkg it is then [21:28] how do i get nosplash? [21:28] ramkumar: sigh.. E: Couldn't find package nvidia-glx-net [21:28] docta_v, No. When you recreate the package just change the name in the control file [21:28] ladynikon: it's nvidia-glx-new [21:28] in fact, most of the guides say that it should be recognized by default... but when i go to Device Drivers, nothing is recognized [21:28] * william_ want to know whats the wiki link to fix the login screen being "big" [21:28] Behfar, no. Do not boot the live CD. Boot from your HD - your installtion [21:28] ramkumar: nvidia-glx-new is already the newest version. [21:28] bazookatooth: Umm.. VMWare virtualizes the hardware. You use a vmware video driver, not a video driver for the physical card. [21:28] ramkumar: i guess i had it.. but just didnt see it [21:28] hey, how do I go about downgrading my firefox version back to 2? [21:28] Hasone, whats news, any progress? [21:28] hey, if I boot from the live-cd, maybe I'll be able to use the internet from that? [21:28] lynet, but ive seen people doing it on youtube... using fusion! [21:29] LadyNikon: modprobe nvidia work? [21:29] hehehe [21:29] Hasone: yes [21:29] thefish: at 64%, near where it failed before. [21:29] hello everyone, has anyone had problems installing and getting a network manager issue? [21:29] Hasone, new burned cd? [21:29] nathan42100, just install firefox-2 package [21:29] thefish: I could burn one. [21:29] choudesh, just so u know, i have GRUB menu and can go to vista or unbuntu, u want me just boot the generic ubuntu? [21:29] fde: ladynikon@ladynikon-desktop:~$ sudo modprobe nvidia [21:29] FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [21:29] LadyNikon: sorry.... 'sudo modprobe nvidia' [21:29] thefish: if I burn one, does it have the chops to handle the existing installation? [21:29] * william_ want to know whats the wiki link to fix the login screen being "big" [21:29] choudesh: is that typically in debian/files? that's the only file that contains the package version string that i can find [21:29] Behfar, no - do not boot. i want you to edit the boot parameters of ubuntu. [21:30] Hasone, oh its still busy at 64% from the 1st time? [21:30] fde: did it.. see the atove for error [21:30] alright, fde, it's done. I'm going to start hand-copying now. [21:30] Hasone, still going? [21:30] howdy -- i'm using hardy and the ff3 beta, and on some sites the text is just wicked huge. this includes for example launchpad.net and cdw.com -- i've already destroyed my .gnome2 and my .mozilla directories and it's helped some of the rendering issues but not the huge text one -- anybody know how to fix this? [21:30] LadyNikon: ahhh... you sure it's not supported by nvidia-glx-legacy? [21:30] docta_v, should be in the debian folder [21:30] choudesh, ok i can do e to edit the commands before booting or c for command line is that what u want [21:30] is there something lighter than gdm that can do auto-logins? [21:30] fde: its a nvidia 5800 [21:30] bazookatooth: ..and I suppose they coveniently 'forget' to tell how it is done? [21:30] Behfar, hit e [21:30] Hasone: just select the error portion and copy paste to paste.ubuntu.com [21:30] fde: like i said it worked fine before the ubuntu 7.10 update [21:30] fde: should i try that? [21:30] lynet, so it's impossible? i have to get boot camp or something? [21:30] choudesh, will that remove Firefox 3 Beta 5 from the system? [21:30] AznAstroFr33k, issues with wireless? [21:30] LadyNikon: If nvidia-glx-new worked before, no [21:31] choudesh i have root, kernel, initrd, quiet and i can b to boot or e to edit [21:31] nathan42100, nope. [21:31] DCC SEND adf98asdf-=asdf98234asdf [21:31] bazookatooth: VMWare is working on 3D acceleration, but it only works for Windows guests so far. [21:31] choudesh: only looks bad during shutdown, when i try to change to other tty (ctrl+alt+f1-6) and when i close my lid [21:31] Behfar, follow the direction on the website and delete the quiet ans splash parameters [21:31] ahh [21:31] choudesh i am sorry i didn't see a link u sent [21:31] rvega_ar1, odd. What kind of video do you have? [21:31] ill have to pirate boot camp i guess [21:31] LadyNikon: How did you get it working before? [21:31] choudesh: nvidia [21:31] fde: think reinstalling nvidia-glx-new might help? i'm kinda lost, heh [21:32] rvega_ar1, more discriptive? [21:32] Behfar, then hit 'B' to boot [21:32] fde: it just worked. I didnt have to do anything.. it had already isntalled the restricted drivers [21:32] Behfar, the only thing this does is a more verbose output and it doesn't show the splashscreen [21:32] i still find it kinda strange that the driver is there.. but not being used [21:32] and its enabled [21:33] LadyNikon: Is this a fresh install or an update? [21:33] * william_ want to know whats the wiki link to fix the login screen being "big" [21:33] fde: i updated it too 7.10 awhile ago [21:33] choudesh: nvidia, GeForce Go 6150 [21:33] so i hit B to boot and it goes thourhg everything and my video flashes then it paues at "running local boot scripts (*/etc/rc.local) [OK] [21:33] william_, one sec while I grab it [21:33] fde: upgraded.. but then updated the distro.. it required a reboot.. and wham I am looking at 800x600 [21:34] fde: granted i dont need my glasses now.. but its the principle of the matter [21:34] does dash have it's own man page? [21:34] LadyNikon: a modification on what ramkumar said: does 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-new' do anything enlightening? [21:34] choudesh - so i hit B to boot and it goes thourhg everything and my video flashes then it paues at "running local boot scripts (*/etc/rc.local) [OK] [21:34] william_, GDM picks up the first entry under mode in your xorg [21:34] cwillu, there? [21:34] I have a question on ubuntu 7.10 install [21:34] LadyNikon: hahah :P [21:34] ramkumar, there? [21:34] thefish: I did the dig comodo.com on both and got the same results [21:34] choudesh: during boot i can press ctrl+alt+f1 and see the booting steps without any problem [21:34] Behfar, leave it sit [21:34] /server irc.2600.net [21:34] !ask | Traveler3 [21:34] Traveler3: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[21:36] wrekk: ah ok [21:36] choudesh: let me try... thanks for your help [21:36] what file do I have to edit, so that after I login at the CLI start x is run automatically? [21:36] cwillu, ramkumar so now I find my device anyhow.... :) [21:36] LadyNikon: Thing is, Ubuntu has little power over Nvidia and ATI stuff as those drivers are proprietory... these are the kinda of things FOSS is trying to fix before it is truly ready for the desktop... [21:36] wrekk: great! does it work fine? [21:36] ArthurArchnix, apt-get install gdm or dpkg-reconfigure gdm [21:36] LadyNikon: Yes... but first... is 'linux-restricted-modules installed?

[21:37] LadyNikon: It depends things like nvidia-kernel-common which would be pretty important :D [21:37] I boot the command line, and enter my username and password. [21:37] ArthurArchnix, what do you want to use as your window manager? [21:38] fde: No packages found matching linux-restricted-modules.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [21:44] When a window is maximized, the cursor turns into a resizer, though you cannot resize. Is there a way to make a maximized window go fully up to the left edge, like it does on the right? [21:44] HenZo: also, you could use twinview with the "screens" stacked vertically, since that would just fit under 2048x2048 [21:44] wrekk: i'm stuck...could you just try if any other bluetooth device works? [21:44] i need the answer can someone answer [21:44] wrekk: like a phone? [21:44] ramkumar, I guess :) [21:44] curtis: answer to what? [21:44] curtis: what kind of wireless card is it? [21:44] Hi, I recently switched back from mac os x to the recent version of ubuntu and was wondering how to open the program that allows you to configure many things on the system. I remember it being called something like gnome-system-configuration or something like that does anyone know? [21:44] ah? [21:44] sas171: You have both checked in System > Administration > Language ? You should get an applet in the panel... this is not working? [21:45] crdlb: Interesting suggestion, but not really practical for my environment. ;) [21:45] ramkumar, have tried 2... and same error mess [21:45] choudesh did u get my PM [21:45] Thanks all, much appreciated. [21:45] HenZo: well, you could do it without _actually_ stacking them ;) [21:45] * LadyNikon sighs [21:45] LadyNikon: Any luck? [21:45] although it would be a bit weird [21:45] For some reason, i can't get x to start on my Sun. It doesn't seem to even recotgnize the video card. [21:45] crdlb: right but then I'd have to move up and down instead of left and right (with my mouse)? [21:45] fde: no.. and i tried to resize the resolution .. it looks even worse.. i cant see anything [21:45] BenB i have a 802.11g Wireless LAN [21:45] HenZo: yeah [21:45] fde: thanks, I'm trying to get auto-login without GDM/KDM etc. and all of the solutions I see use /etc/inittab [21:45] too weird :) [21:45] Screw the cube, I guess. [21:45] fde: it says that it couldnt be detected.. so its in low res mode [21:45] Behfar, nope [21:45] LadyNikon: hah... wow... but 'echo nvidia >> /etc/modules' and restart. [21:46] LadyNikon: wait [21:46] fde: ? [21:46] choudesh install instructions are this [21:46] you have to install it using the alternate disc -- text mode. then download the ATi driver from ati.com [21:46] BenB are you there? [21:46] I am about to scream.. i got homework to do [21:46] LadyNikon: ALSO, change /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read 'nvidia' instead of 'nv' along with that echo command... THEN reboot :) [21:46] choudesh To get the right driver with their selector, use Linux->Integrated/Motherboard->Radeon Xpress 1250 [21:46] but do u know how to do this? [21:46] LadyNikon: should be fine after restricted modules are installed. [21:47] Behfar, I believe they are talking about on the ATI website [21:47] wrekk: *bump*...sorry, i can't think of anything, can anyone else help? [21:47] choudesh oh LOL!!!! [21:47] curtis: yes, I am here, but with your questions, we can't help you. you're essentially saying "my car is broken, help me". well, we need to know *which* exact car, and what does not work. [21:47] test [21:47] Behfar, no problem. We're here to help with anything! ;-) [21:47] fde, actually, everything works until I do a full reboot (logout/in no problem). After that am not able to switch the layout with keyboard shortcut, only per panel applet, but when I select Russian I get only some strange symbols while typing. To fix it I can go to the keyboard preferences, reset ti defaults and add the Russian layout again, but it works only until I reboot my PC [21:47] ramkumar, do you know If I can check any log file when I try to connect to the device [21:47] Hi.

[22:13] curtis, : in a rerminal lspci and look if your wireless card is recognize [22:13] me neither [22:13] anoble, have you seen the wine-hq review? [22:14] With 7.10, i386 and an 60GB HDD, I got close to 5 hours battery life. With 8.04, amd64 and 160GB HDD, I get closer to 2 hours. Same chassis. What's the likely culprit? [22:14] curtis: your fortune: You would if you could but you can't so you won't. [22:14] artti, isn't there supposed to be another file along with the mdf? like a bin & cue? [22:14] meh [22:14] can anyone help with sharing folders in virtualbox? [22:14] dablunton1: no i have not [22:14] an mds [22:14] tanath, yes there is mds file. [22:14] eatatjoes: isnt it just there? like you click shared folders and BAM! [22:14] artti, i'm pretty sure one of the burning apps should be able to convert it... [22:14] anoble, what about the kxdocker? [22:15] anoble, i tried that but they dont show up in the explorer in xp [22:15] artti, why are you trying to convert it again? [22:15] tanath, so i could mount it. [22:15] Is there an app to burn an ISO image onto a USB? [22:15] mdf can't be mounted [22:15] you have to convert to .iso [22:15] A0, burn it? [22:15] A0, why burn? [22:15] dablunton1: nope i havent herd of that [22:16] adriaan, so i'm trying to convert it. Still need help. [22:16] yes [22:16] i need help with wireless internet,. [22:16] Steve^: To load Ubuntu on another machine. [22:16] looking into it [22:16] A0 Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh [22:16] dablunton1: and im not sure ive never tried it, but google might help [22:16] anyone willing to help me out? [22:16] this can't be true i need help with wireless internet,. [22:16] eatatjoes: im not sure but google might help here [22:16] Jack_Sparrow: I'm confused...sorry. [22:16] curtis: how often have you asked that now? [22:16] dablunton1: sorry sent that to the wrong person [22:16] jerbear: Dude, you just made my day...NX rocks!!! [22:16] hello, anybody knows, howto enable "fuzzy clock" in Gnome? [22:16] BenB once you give me the driver never again [22:16] to share internet on a wire router all i need to do is stick ethernet cables in holes right? in other words, nothing to do with software, right? [22:16] thats all that i need. [22:16] A0, I think you can install off a USB, but theres no such thing as a USB image, so I'd guess you just need the file on there? Maybe some other auto-load script. Google it. [22:17] for kvm I get this error Ubuntu does not support running KVM without hardware acceleration. Sorry. but my graphics card is at full speed what else do I need to accellerate? [22:17] could someone help me with my xorg.conf, i need to get someones that works with the Nvidia legacy driver? and has a bigger screen rez then 800x600. im using HH 8.04 [22:17] curtis: nobody can give you the driver. you probably have it already! [22:17] artti, try this: mount image_name.mdf /directory/name -o loop [22:17] curtis: follow http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html . This is your main problem, believe me. [22:17] Curtis : open a terminal, type lspci and look if your wireless is recognized [22:17] A0 Your question was an app that can burn iso to ubs.. that is a script to do just that [22:17] hi [22:17] tanath, doesn't help tryied already. [22:17] Can we have ubotu (or one of its relatives) in the xubuntu channel, please? Thank you! [22:17] georgy28 thank you [22:17] curtis: particularly sections "Before You Ask" and "Be precise and informative about your problem" and "Prune pointless queries" [22:17] artti, try with sudo? [22:17] okay [22:17] when i install stuff then remove it all through the terminal how do i make it delete its folder as well? [22:18] tanath, i did with sudo [22:18] i'm trying to install compiz-dev using synaptic, but the version on there is 0.6.0 while my compiz-core is 0.6.2, how do i get synaptic to update the list? [22:18] david_-_-: sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename [22:18] georgy28: FYI, I had asked him that before. [22:18] Would the amd64 version have worse battery life performance than the i386 version? [22:18] Hello again [22:18] could someone help me with my xorg.conf, i need to get someones that works with the Nvidia legacy driver? and has a bigger screen rez then 800x600. im using HH 8.04 [22:18] artti: can you post the exact command and it's result to pastebin or something? [22:18] Steve^: Should be no difference, or slightly better. [22:18] does anyone here use a Sony laptop with Ubuntu? [22:18] its* [22:18] Starnestommy: that is how i remove them but with a few i have seen the folder still there. [22:18] georgy28: i typed it in and there is alot of info what am i looking for? [22:18] * nomada is back. [22:18] A0 You do not need a usb image. all you need is the *.iso and that script, read the first part to see how it works [22:19] bjames: my dad does [22:19] when I upgraded to 8.04 it decided to turn the backlight down and I can't get it back up [22:19] fde, I'm getting 50% of the life I got before. (But I also switched from a 60GB to a 160GB drive when upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04) [22:19] curtis : look if you have a line with wireless something [22:19] if I want to redirect input from a string, can I just do this: $mycommand < "blah" ? [22:19] hej [22:19] or do I need something different? [22:19] curtis: can't your dad help you with your wireless? [22:19] bjames: sucks for you [22:19] curtis: indeed it does [22:19] plik: he is in mexico [22:19] what else?\ [22:19] anybody? [22:19] Hello [22:19] anoble, look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=222OxM5r5Jc [22:20] artti, try udf filesystem [22:20] Steve^: You have 'ubuntu-laptop-mode' installed? [22:20] where is the backlight control in 8.04? [22:20] tesmar, what kind of script? [22:20] fde, no.. I've never heard of such a thing [22:20] georgy28: dont see anything. [22:20] im interested in making gtk+ themes & window decorators. People have told me to use glade, but i dont quite understand what exactly im doing. does anyone know of some tutorial websites i can visit??? [22:20] Steve^: ubuntu-laptop-mode - Support for reducing hard drive power consumption ;) [22:20] well, I want to give a command to mysql [22:20] georgy27: with wireless [22:20] curtis: paste the output to pastebin [22:20] who is australian? [22:20] !pastebin | curtis [22:20] curtis: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:20] Is it normal for a site to be rendered unavailable during a domain transfer? [22:20] by calling mysql < "drop table" [22:20] tanath, i tried that before with some extra things now it worked, thanks a lot. [22:21] i'm trying to install compiz-dev using synaptic, but the version on there is 0.6.0 while my compiz-core is 0.6.2, how do i get synaptic to update the list? [22:21] artti, np [22:21] curtis ok, do you have a windows on this machine installed ? [22:21] Steve^: copy and paste from the description ;) [22:21] will that work? [22:21] artti, udf is the dvd filesystem [22:21] curtis: Can you please repeat, what y told me before. [22:21] no i have ubuntu 8.04. [22:21] thanks fde, I'll have a look [22:21] tanath, and? [22:21] it is a fake... [22:21] I mean, is there a better way to feed the string in from the command line? [22:21] lighthouse: how is this? [22:21] artti, it's different from the CD filesystem [22:22] artti, (iso9660) [22:22] curtis: I'm waiting. [22:22] tesmar, you have to write your query to a file, then do mysql < yourfile [22:22] daYZman: that's in ubuntu-backports [22:22] curtis, : can you find out wich wireless card do you have ? [22:22] georgy28: yes i can give me one sec. [22:22] artti, can be helpful to know the difference [22:22] BenB, any idea why my filesystem is all read only? ever seen that with your usb quest ? [22:22] curtis: georgy28: either lspci or lsusb will tell that. [22:22] tanath, i tried mount image_name.mdf /directory/name -o loop -t iso9660 and it didn't worked. [22:22] oh really? that stinks [22:22] hwilde: no, sorry [22:22] tesmar, when you run a command on the command line, you can use < to pull data from a file [22:22] I wonder if pipes would work === Lighthouse is now known as NBZ4live [22:23] artti, right, because it's not a CD image, and that's the CD filesystem [22:23] tanath, google didn't helped, programs didn't do nothing. Thank you again. [22:23] fde : I know, but he find nothing [22:23] but I Can't substitute a string on the command line? [22:23] hwilde: stupid check: some SD cards and maybe flash drives have a pyhsical readonyl switch [22:23] artti, google helped me ;) [22:23] BenB, nope :) [22:23] georgy28: i have a 802.11g Wireless LAN [22:23] artti, you just need to know how to use it ;) [22:23] tesmar: 'echo "input" | program' wihh make 'program' read "input" from the standard input stream [22:23] anyone know why when I use a bittorrent client (both transmission & deluge) it ends up eating almost all my ram and doesn't release it when i close the program? [22:23] thanks! [22:23] *will [22:23] hwilde: if that's not the problem, can you paste your exact symptoms? [22:23] lighthouse: who r you? [22:23] curtis: I'm waiting. [22:24] artti, but glad to help [22:24] curtis: That doesn't assist with module... can you paste the output of 'lspci' to paste.ubuntu.com please? [22:24] tesmar, depending on the application mysql "my string" might work, or there might a unix tool I'm not aware of, but in general, no [22:24] tanath, about 5 hours tried to figure it out. [22:24] artti, damn... [22:24] BenB: what are you waiting for? [22:24] Hello. Can someone plz help me with my WLAN? [22:24] What about it? [22:24] artti, well, now you've learned something, and you shouldn't have to go through that again :) [22:24] tesmar, < "bla" will look for a file called bla [22:24] type in Japanese...no help? [22:24] curtis: what I asked you for. if you ask for help, then read what people reply? [22:24] BenB, it says "Read-only file system" no matter what I do. all the ownership and permissions are correct tho. I cloned this image from a harddrive that runs fine, onto the flashcard, and all the permissions and ownership are fine. but nothing works and the filesystem is in read-only mode. there are no errrors in dmesg that explain why [22:24] artti, and hopefully you can pass it on [22:24] curtis : please do what fde ask you [22:24] NBZ4live: what kind of card is it and which version of ubuntu is it? [22:24] curtis: paste the output of lspci -v to pastebin [22:24] !pastebin | curtis [22:24] curtis: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:25] tanath, i will forget it. [22:25] artti, http://www.googleguide.com/ is a good site to improve your searching [22:25] Seguindo esse tutorial "http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/artigos/verArtigo.php?codigo=7115&pagina=2" eu compilei o apache, o postgresql e configurei, os dois funcionam. Compilei o php só que não consigo carregar o módulo do php no apache. Alterei o httpd.conf do apache adicionando "LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so", mas ao tentar reinciar o apache com o comando apachectl restart ele volta esse erro "httpd: Syntax error on line 54 [22:25] of /etc/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /etc/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". [22:25] good evening, everyone [22:25] hmm [22:25] hi all [22:25] !es | aleatorio [22:25] aleatorio: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [22:25] can some one tell me [22:25] BenB: what is the poster? [22:25] hwilde: ok, then I'd need to know what steps you took to create this filesystem. [22:25] fde, just got some weird messages when trying to install ubuntu-laptop-mode, I'll paste bin them [22:25] curtis: leave it all empty [22:26] Starnestommy: I have an Acer Aspire 5100 with an Broadcom Chipset. Ubuntu Version 8.04 fresh installed [22:26] artti, here's the search i used: mdf file system (linux|ubuntu) [22:26] curtis: just the big box [22:26] im interested in making gtk+ themes & window decorators. People have told me to use glade, but i dont quite understand what exactly im doing. does anyone know of some tutorial websites i can visit??? [22:26] remix version of kubuntu contain kde3 also or only 4? [22:26] BenB: okay we [22:26] curtis: If you want help, please do what I asked, thank you. [22:26] fde: okay [22:26] fde, http://stevehat.pastebin.com/m61c6a4b do I want to do that? [22:26] Infecto: KDE 4 I think [22:26] Flare183: only? [22:26] hmmm [22:26] Infecto: But I would as in #kubuntu-kde4 too [22:27] ask* [22:27] hwilde: also, note that you generally can *not* just copy a filesystem using dd or car or similar. E.g. UUID will be the same causing troubles with esp. ubuntu which uses UUID for mounting. [22:27] BenB: i just get 'Is [22:27] Steve^^: can you please sudo apt-get install acpi-support explicitly to see why it's broken? [22:27] does anyone have any experience installing pine on ubuntu x86_64 [22:27] fde: i just get 'Is [22:27] BenB, i didn't have problems copying a fs using dd... [22:27] Steve^^: Do the same with its output. [22:27] Flare183: ok thansk a loot [22:27] alpine or alternatives are not an option, I have to use pine for schoolwork [22:27] Infecto: no problem [22:27] curtis: what exactly did you type? [22:28] tanath: I did want was told to never do that. [22:28] tanath: I did and was told to never do that. [22:28] fde: ifconfig [22:28] fde, acpi-support is already the newest version. [22:28] BenB, I hardcode the uuid to /dev/hda1 - and it boots fine with grub, and mounts both partitions, but it says file system is read-only [22:28] BenB, i've coped cds and dvds that way that worked fine [22:28] BenB, i've done this before I just don't know what's broken this time.... [22:28] curtis: that's not what I told you... 'lspci' and paste its output to paste.ubuntu.com [22:28] tanath: CDs are somethign else [22:28] BenB, although i copied a dual layer disc that ended up as a 6gb file that i couldn't burn because i don't have a dual layer burner... :P [22:28] HELP!! can someone help me with this Please .... ERROR : " Unable to build the vmmon module. " Error I keep getting ? I think there is a problem with the compiler ??? I downloaded the essentials but same issue [22:29] fde: okay i will do so. [22:29] hwilde: as said, I'd need to know a) what exactly you did (to copy the FS) and b) what exactly the error is. [22:29] ok, ubuntu has tricked me. How do I add more users.....? [22:29] BenB, I just told you exactly what I did, and I told you the exact error.... [22:29] anyone know if walkman support is still hosed per this release? [22:29] ozfalcon: adduser [22:29] fde: no result. [22:29] hello. i have a movie splitted into 100 MB pieces, with extensions .001, .002 and so on. How can I put them together? Yes I know about cat command, which can put two files together, but is there an option how to put them all together with one command? [22:29] ozfalcon: System > Administartion > Users and groups if you want a graphical front-end [22:29] hi all - I've just installed Ubuntu 8.04 (with the latest gnome) - can someone tell me where the laptop backlight brightness controlls have gone? They used to be in System | Preferences | Power Management, but are now missing. [22:30] Steve^^: Ahh, then don't worry about that... the conflicting package is laptop-mode-tools which provides the same thing. [22:30] adriaan, Add user is shaded out.....? [22:30] fde: did you get that? [22:30] click the unlock button [22:30] BenB, I installed the system onto a harddrive. I copied all the files from the harddrive to the flashcard. I made the root partition on the harddrive bootable and fixed the uuids. It boots up fine, but I can't do anything because it says "Read-only file system" [22:30] fde, installing ubuntu-laptop-mode again doesn't show the broken problem... but it still asked me to remove all of "acpi-support laptop-mode-tools powermanagement-interface ubuntu-desktop"? [22:30] fde, so I have laptop power mode already? [22:30] curtis: Applications > Accessories > Terminal <-- type it into that application. [22:30] BenB, also various things fail because they can't write to /var and /proc etc [22:30] i did that. [22:30] hwilde: sorry, I can't see the exact commands and steps you did anywhere. pastebin maybe? [22:31] BenB, the fstab entries are correct, and all of the permissions and ownership were preserved from the harddrive [22:31] fde, perhaps the timer in the sys tray is wrong, but it happily shows 2 hours consistently [22:31] BenB, were you told why you should never use dd for that? [22:31] tanath, i used something ubuntu mdf, or ubuntu mount mdf etc [22:31] i got a long list [22:31] . [22:31] Steve^^: Don't do that... laptop-mode-tools provides utilities to manage hardware power consumption. [22:31] adriaan, ok. I have to unlock it 1st. Duh [22:31] ok [22:31] BenB, I used rysnc -av to copy the entire filesystem from the harddrive to the flashcard [22:31] tanath: for harddrives, yes. esp. if you want to use both in the same system [22:31] curtis: yes... paste that to paste.ubuntu.com [22:31] ozfalcon: hehe, happened to me too when I upgraded to 8.04. Took me a while to figure it out >_> [22:31] artti, well, sometimes you need to try different searches. tricks like ( blah | bla ) are very handy though [22:31] hwilde: oh! see? I thought you used dd, which is something entirely different. [22:32] !paste | curtis [22:32] curtis: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:32] tanath, now i know. [22:32] hwilde: what filesystem does the stick have, and how did it get there? [22:32] BenB, straight file copy. and I can see all the files. the ownership and permission seems fine [22:32] fde: what should i put as the poster? [22:32] BenB, the flashcard has ext3 filesystem. created the partitions by booting the livecd and using gparted [22:32] im interested in making gtk+ themes & window decorators. People have told me to use glade, but i dont quite understand what exactly im doing. does anyone know of some tutorial websites i can visit??? [22:32] curtis: nothoing [22:32] curtis: doesn't matter [22:32] artti, it's worth the time to learn how to search properly. that site i linked is a good guide [22:32] !themes | thor [22:32] thor: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [22:32] adriaan, One this has me puzzled. 1st (admin) user doesn't have "use scanners" ticked, But new users do. Whats with that? [22:32] curtis: just when you send... copy and paste the URL and give that to me [22:32] artti, good starting point for learning the syntax anyway [22:32] fde: oh okay sorry [22:33] tanath, searching syntax? [22:33] artti, the rest can come from practice. anyway, have fun [22:33] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9296/ [22:33] artti, yep [22:33] hwilde: ext2 on flash is dangerous - *esp* for root filesystems - on flash. always do noatime etc. [22:33] hwilde: i know where to find them at, i want to make them... [22:33] ozfalcon: not really sure why. You should be able to change it if you've unlocked it, though [22:33] artti, like when using the brackets and pipe character for instance. or the various operators, like '-' or '~' [22:33] hwilde: I think ext3 is even worse, really wears the flash [22:33] tanath, well it is easy, i think, i know little bit about programming. [22:34] thor, go look around those links i'm sure somewhere it tells you where to make themes. [22:34] artti, then it should be a breeze :) [22:34] curtis: I only see a wired NIC there... can you please do the same with the output from 'lspci' ? [22:34] fde: did you get that? [22:34] how do I see what the status is on known bugs? (i.e. when an update might be ready) [22:34] BenB, ext3 not 2 [22:34] adriaan, yeah. I can. But strange. [22:34] fde: sure [22:34] hwilde: yes, this can be pretty bad to your flash drive, IIRC [22:34] tanath, anyway, thank you again and have a nice day.(I have 00.34 am here). :P [22:34] artti, it's very useful & efficient to be able to go beyond basic keyword searching and use at least basic syntax. [22:35] adriaan, even though I could still use sane/scanner when it was not ticked..... [22:35] artti, have fun.

[22:36] BenB, well they are all an older image, that I made in the same procedure. now I am trying to make the newer image, and it is not working for me [22:37] vbabiy-laptop, there should be updates soon, but there haven't been many over the past week [22:37] I install right after the release [22:37] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9300/ [22:37] Wow, it's really quiet on #ubuntu today.

[22:37] * delcoyote zztop [22:37] ozfalcon: I'm not sure, maybe sane doesn't need the rights [22:37] dimitree: use the driver included with ubuntu [22:38] vbabiy-laptop, check your mirror? [22:38] it's the same driver [22:38] fde: is that what you wanted? [22:38] <^root^> okay, i need a solution. Add/Remove is running and installing softwares. Its a long list of softwares, and it will take about 14 hours. Currently i am using my laptop and DSL connected via usb port, called eth1(direct, no proxy). If i hibernate my laptop and go to another place, and connect on a Proxy-enabled LAN using ethernet, will the Add/Rempove continue?. What if i give that LAN's proxy setting right now in my network proxy, will they be [22:38] <^root^> loaded on hibernate resume? [22:38] vbabiy-laptop, I did not get any updates since the final version was released [22:38] What bot software is ubottu using?

[22:44] Ghostinthedarkne, are you attempting to install vmware? [22:45] problem with Linux is that no-one wants to support really old hardware and no-one can support really new hardware - so you're ok if you have a middle-age laptop, but not much else! lol [22:45] simple too, I know nothing of mysql [22:45] curtis: yes, but I'd rather not give it in a channel with 1300 people...

[22:46] davi1, moto4lin it is in the repos [22:47] paltlak on linux anyone? [22:47] Ghostinthedarkne, watch the caps please. The problem with vmware at this time is that the vmmon module has a line in it which has to be changed. You can see which line as it also states the error. [22:47] hello [22:47] ozfalcon, actually, here's an ubuntu wiki page on installing it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [22:47] fractal420: enlightenment [22:47] Greetings from Lima [22:47] tanath, great. [22:47] Ghostinthedarkne, if you google for this error, you will also find some pages suggesting the any-any patch. This will not work. (i've had the error myself) [22:47] curtis: No... I want to help interactively... I can do it here, but it'll be hard for you to follow probably...

[22:48] can you invite me to a private chat? [22:48] with cedega cant install GGClient [22:48] are there any voice chats for linux like paltalk? [22:48] curtis: I'm trying... but you need to be registered, else I'll get spammed by a million people [22:48] curtis, fde, join a random channel (like #this-random-channel-or-sth ) [22:48] georgy28, hischild which is more simple iirc or phpmyadmin? I have played with phpmyadmin before a little [22:48] I suppose I should be content that ndiswrapper is fixed for my wireless card - expecting 3D graphics to work (again!), backlight brightness and function keys to work is a little optimistic [22:48] is there no fix for the lines in videos, flash or other wise. very very noticable on a bigger screen. using nvidia by they way [22:48] IronMaidenAWAy, or is that the older open source version of cedega...

[22:49] georgy28, hischild I will check it out, thanks. [22:49] scott: want a link? [22:49] curtis: no spaces /j #curtis [22:49] hischild: I have tried the any any fix and the other fix that you have to adjust a file and that one doesn't work either.. [22:49] hischild, I think it is automagically setup when installed from the repos, in Gutsy I installed it once. [22:49] fde: my cd failed its checksums, and that was the problem before. [22:49] tanath, when install ggclient with cedega wtrite close other proccess [22:50] IronMaidenAWAy, hmm... i seem to remember that giving my cousing spyware... [22:50] fde: I'm burning a new, better one as we speak. [22:50] curtis21 [22:50] shane2peru_, i have no experience in setting it up from repo's. Might be that it does it's magic by itself :) [22:50] cgillogly, thats how it works, the data stays cached but if soemthing else needs it later it is available [22:50] hischild, right, thanks! [22:50] fde: i did [22:50] IronMaidenAWAy, *cousin [22:50] Hasone_: awesome hope it works [22:50] walkman opens in 64 but not 386?? [22:50] shane2peru_,: yes, it is in the repos [22:50] tanath, Ok, wiki says it doesn't like compiz. Which is expected. I have found a lot of GL apps not happy with compiz. [22:50] Ghostinthedarkne, what file did you adjust? How did you adjust it? What have you tried so far? Can you pastebin your error? [22:50] hey i have a problem with my lexmark printer, the first page prints then the print stops and i have to manually power it off, I can only print one page at a time without the printer freezing im on Gutsy...

[22:50] ozfalcon, yeah, that was prolly it. that'll be fixed someday :P [22:50] yeah. if not, fde, I'm goin to go use a computer with a more reliable cd-burner. [22:51] fde: cslaght54@aol.com [22:51] fde: then we can do a gmail chat [22:51] tanath, How do I disable compiz? Do you know? (I don't need any fancy windowing etc) [22:51] curtis: /join #curtis <-- copy and paste from / to s and type it like it's a reply to me [22:51] ozfalcon, you can install fusion-icon to switch back and forth between compiz & metacity :) [22:51] shane2peru_, : after install just type in your browser http://localhost/phpmyadmin [22:51] <^root^> anyone? [22:51] hischild: yeah I can pastebin it for you one sec [22:51] is it possible to install ff2 and ff3 beside eachother?

[22:52] ozfalcon, or if you don't want to install another app, or use the notification tray space, you can make shortcuts on your desktop to switch back and forth [22:52] ozfalcon, one would link to 'metacity --replace' and the other to 'compiz --replace' === cheater_ is now known as cheatr [22:52] tanath, [22:53] look when install with cedega [22:53] Error Code: -5003 : 0xffffec75 [22:53] Error Information: [22:53] >SetupNew\SetupDLL.cpp (711) [22:53] PAPP:Garena [22:53] PVENDOR:Ocean Global Holding (http://www.GG-Game.com) [22:53] IronMaidenAWAy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

The changed line should read << #include "linux/bitops.h" >> instead of << #include "asm/bitops.h >> and not the entire line.

[23:06] asizemore: It's better if you can get to the actual console for it. You also need to do 6.06->6.10->7.04->71.0->8.04 path [23:06] euxneks: Yes, I already tried that. :-( [23:06] IronMaidenAWAy, 2003 isn't so good for games [23:06] aaaa i loook [23:06] *7.10 [23:07] genii: Nice to meet You.

[23:07] sounds like both Windows and Linux recognized your external card without any intervention from you. [23:07] SnakeArt: I can't remember that specific issue offhad, apologies :) [23:07] daemon3: what do you mean it doesn't work? it doesn't work, or it's not showing your card? [23:07] asizemore: one moment [23:07] thanks [23:08] could i get a few highly recommended torrent programs? appreciate the help [23:08] Is there anyone with 8.04 and Wacom Bamboo One pentablet?

[23:09] SnakeArt: Something about bamboo sounds familiar though :) [23:09] ^root^: did it work? [23:09] david_-_-, by the looks of it, this error is only with text to speech (and espeak), so if sound is working everywhere else, there isn't much to worry about [23:10] daemon3: sound like it's not lspci, but that your card isn't getting recognized. have you tried using nvidia's driver installer script instead of the one that ships with the restricted driver manager? [23:10] and new to ubuntu, first day actually so just trying to get my stuff sorted out, and trying to get things headed in the right direction with some help :D [23:10] genii: I knew that You will remember:) [23:10] I'm doing a clean install of 8.04 and I have a two-drive setup, was running 7.10. I have two questions, first, my data drive was /home/ in my old setup, and running through the partitioner manually I think I figured out how to remount it as such. Would there would be any complications (such as being able to access the data/permissions etc) to this? [23:10] <^root^> adriaan: yup, seems so :P :D [23:10] <^root^> adriaan: now i will uninstall xchat :P :D why have an extra software :D [23:10] insomnia_: not sure, but I taker it transmission is in the repositories somewhere [23:10] Yes, but in order to install the driver, I need to know the exact model number. [23:10] adriaan, yes [23:10] hey i have a problem with my lexmark printer, the first page prints then the print stops and i have to manually power it off, I can only print one page at a time without the printer freezing im on Gutsy... [23:10] I can use envyn [23:10] insomnia_: it's lightweight, and it fits well in gnome, obviously [23:11] I'm probably going to drop, lol [23:11] adriaan, for some reason they made it the default bt client for hardy [23:11] That was to Vlet [23:11] ^root^: indeed :) [23:11] SnakeArt: The wacom tablet, no? [23:11] ^root^, is that sarcasm? there is no point in removing xchat, Linux won't mind.. and you can come talk to us again some time! [23:11] thanks :D [23:11] Steve^^: lol yea but i hate bugs and want my comp full working so far its at 90% working with that error and my usb ports not working. [23:11] genii: Yeah [23:11] asizemore why? [23:11] How can I check how up-to-date/out-of-date an Ubuntu mirror is? [23:11] I'm having an issue with my panels staying in place. The panel with the clock, etc and the panel with my workspaces keep switching places with each other every time I reboot. I keep having to switch them back every time I boot up the computer [23:11] daemon3: oh, so you don't know what type of card you have? hmm. maybe open your box and look? :p [23:11] zvacet: why what? [23:11] ^root^: you might want to check out irc-helper plugin for pidgin too [23:12] <^root^> Steve^^: no, not actually, i love xchat, really good software, just that i save my disk spave by bits..... [23:12] oh [23:12] zvacet: because I'm ssh upgrading [23:12] and another thing, i cant make xmms my default mp3 player. i tried "right clicking" an mp3 and opening with xmms, but no option to make it default [23:12] ^root^: it does away with all the message tabs from chanservers, nickservers etc [23:12] ^root^: irssi ftw! [23:12] asizemore : i understand that youi ant to give up.Sorry for misundersatanding [23:12] <^root^> adriaan: i cant find that plugin....

[23:13] ^root^: http://f0rked.com/articles/irssi [23:13] genii: since our last chat, there's nothing new. No /de/vinput/wacom, no response on any event from tablet. My only hope is 8.04 .Maybe new kernel and new libraries will work [23:13] ^root^: it's not in the repo's, I think I got it somewhere off the pidgin plugin site [23:13] ^root^: been a while since I installed it, though [23:13] ^root^: irssi irc client = wonderful [23:13] <^root^> Vlet: that i know, the IRSSI thing... but i need Pidgin for other things, so its better to have only this for all things [23:13] yes [23:14] pidgin is okay [23:14] Hardon Hery? Should I upgrade or do a clean install? [23:14] david_-_-, its possible that install "libsox-fmt-all" would solve the problem, but the funny thing is, I don't have them installed myself. [23:14] got a problem with mp3s, i cant make xmms my default mp3 player. i tried "right clicking" an mp3 and opening with xmms, but no option to make it default [23:14] anyone? [23:14] asizemore : don´t mix sex and comp something will end bad [23:14] ^root^: hmm, I don't like cooking in the bathroom, and I don't like IRC in my IM program ;) [23:14] zvacet: haha, so offtopic, but funny [23:14] insomnia_: you could add the command yourself [23:14] <^root^> adriaan: ahan, okay, i will try to find that myself as well.. [23:14] l [23:14] con-man, download the iso, and burn a disk in case the upgrade fails. :) You are all set to install, oohh, and don't forget to backup, then run an upgrade [23:14] insomnia_, right click on an mp3 and there's a list of programs with radio buttons (circular). click the radio button next to the app you want to be the default. [23:14] How do I change the places locations??? [23:15] insomnia_, if it's not there, you can add it [23:15] ^root^, adriaan : It's called pidgin-plugin-pack [23:15] <^root^> Vlet: i am fan of all in one programs, and the father of all, Eclipse :P :D [23:15] Is there anyone with Wacom Bamboo One (CTF-430) and Hardy? [23:15] gwfaw [23:15] :) [23:15] ^root^: blargh! ;) [23:15] 30+- minutes [23:15] shane2peru: so the hardon hery works fine if the upgrade completes? no disadvantage to upgrading?

Anyone know which process I have to kill? [23:15] nope [23:16] con-man, I have yet to find one, I mean everyone has a different experience based on their hardware. I'm running the 64bit version, runs fine. [23:16] con-man, some people have had issues, but i find it much faster and more stable [23:16] Can someone help me solve this issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4852527 [23:16] Hi all [23:16] ozfalcon: replace them with symlinks to the actual location [23:16] On here or in the thread [23:16] con-man, I have it running on three different computers, one has ATI card, I had to fiddle with that to get it to work, the laptop was fine [23:16] <^root^> haaaa, i thought may be with pidgin i will remove the limit of 20 channel at max, :( [23:16] does someone know anything about an intel 2200BG with WPA and disconnection after connect ? [23:16] Hey, I just installed nessus via sudo apt-get install nessus. After the install I can't find where it was installed to. To open the program you just have to type nessus to run it, but find nessus doesn't yield any results [23:16] con-man, my desktop has been fine too. [23:16] how can I find it? [23:16] TeamColtra[NADC]: ATI? [23:16] shane2peru: good to know! [23:16] @fde yes [23:17] Am I able to mount a /home partition with my data to a clean install? [23:17] Does anyone know how to fix the BusyBox problem yet? I installed Hardy Heron using WUBI inside Windows XP two days ago, and out of nowhere, now it refuses to boot and I'm stuck at the Busy Box command line ..... does anyone know what to do? [23:17] oh crap. I should stop calling it hardon. maybe I have dislexia :| [23:17] how do I restart Samba in Kubuntu? [23:17] con-man: dyslexia [23:17] con-man, the laptop occaisonally locks up, seems to be related to amsn and openoffice running at the same time. [23:17] do need a physical cd,or can i upgrade directly by mounting the alternate.iso? [23:17] <^root^> oh and one more thing, i have HP 6720s, any good links/tips for it? [23:18] what do you do, what do you do, what do you do when they come for you [23:18] TeamColtra[NADC]: I'm a good guesser... heh... I'm afraid you'll have to go with either 'radeon' or 'ati' if you want to stick to Hardy... until ATI update their drivers... [23:18] con-man: seems more like la tourette or something :) [23:18] evilbug, I think you should be able to mount the iso and upgrade off that, may be tricky though. [23:18] Hasone_- it's "wacha gonna do" :) [23:18] shane2peru- how come? [23:18] <^root^> Hasone_: is that a song? seems nice... [23:18] Is there someone with bamboo one pentablet and ubuntu 8.04? [23:18] ^root^- are you serious? [23:18] evilbug : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=743943 [23:18] evilbug, it didn't start out as that song, so I claim my right to type it however I want. [23:18] evilbug, that would be "what'chya" methinks [23:19] TeamColtra[NADC]: for what it's worth, it is a VERY common issue, on all current distros, so you're not alone... just have to wait on ATI's bad Linux driver support. [23:19] @fde, is there a way to roll back? [23:19] TeamColtra[NADC]: Nope [23:19] evilbug, just never done it before, I mean mounting iso's is a synch and in theory, upgrading via that iso mounted shouldn't be a problem either [23:19] HA! :) [23:19] ... so I am stuck on windows [23:19] :( [23:19] shane2peru- thanks [23:19] <^root^> evilbug: nope, not as much as you though i was :( [23:19] oh well... gives me some good bonding time with photoshop [23:19] TeamColtra[NADC], I am also stuck on windows. it is sad. [23:19] Is there a way to enable window previews in compositing Metacity like Aero and Compiz have? [23:19] evilbug I have never even upgraded via a cd, so, maybe it would be easy, just not sure. [23:20] RyanPrior: I've never run into one.. I doubt it [23:20] ^root^- everyone's bursting my bubble today :( oh well... [23:20] hasone_: I was on vista all day for a school assignment. Oh, the relief when I was done. Even more than usual :) [23:20] con-man, if you download and burn the CD you should be able to upgrade via the cd too, and make it go faster. [23:20] how can i run yahoo mseenger [23:20] RyanPrior: it's much harder to do that with an xrender compositor [23:20] <^root^> evilbug: ooopsss, sorry, didnt mean that buddy, cheer up... [23:20] Am I able to mount a /home partition from a previous install with my data to a clean install? If so, would the same user name give me the same permissions to my data? [23:20] ? [23:20] i've been having random crashes on 8.04 where it goes to a black screen and puts me back at the login screen, is there any error log that I can pull up to see what's going on? [23:20] adriaan, I praise the gods every day that passes that I still haven't used vista. [23:20] Hasone_: Maybe we need a support group? [23:21] TeamColtra[NADC], I think we do.

I still have nightmares. [23:21] effowe, are you able to log in? What graphics card do you have? [23:21] zvacet- thanks!

[23:21] <^root^> evilbug: who says i was :P :D ;) [23:21] effowe, cat ~/.xsession-errors [23:21] adriaan: my resolve has double thanks to you. I will never let vista see the light of day! [23:21] effowe, dmesg [23:21] shane2peru: i log in just fine, and it works pretty well for the most part, just random crashes, im on an nvidia 8800gtx [23:21] happily, my school has *nix computers [23:21] at least I am not on vista anymore, I rolled back to XP SP2 Media Center [23:21] HELP!! can someone help me with this Please ....

[23:22] effowe, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:22] ^root^: I was never able to figure out IRC on pidgen [23:22] hasone_: yes, so do we, but I need to be able to use administrator programs in vista (apparently...) [23:22] effowe, hmm, not sure, I had ATI graphics problems and it wouldn't even let me log in. Possible related to graphics??? not sure. [23:22] zvacet- k.i might just try the cd again. [23:22] dek: we can help you with the hard stuff.. like what does "ls" do.. or "how do I install gimp.. we leave the easy things for the kernel boys in #linux ;) [23:22] effowe, is there anything in the logs? [23:22] y'know, if I can't get the stupid cd to burn this next time, I'm going to friggin order it in the mail. [23:22] <^root^> TeamColtra[NADC]: i did a while ago, wanna get help :P [23:22] seriously. [23:22] my numpad wont work even with numlock on [23:22] grrrr [23:22] con-man: dyslexia [23:22] hasone_: I'm pretty sure the microsoft sponsorship has something to do with it [23:22] david_-_-: either you have a bad CD/DVD in your drive, or your optical drive is broken [23:22] Does anyone know how to fix the BusyBox problem yet? I installed Hardy Heron using WUBI inside Windows XP two days ago, and out of nowhere, now it refuses to boot and I'm stuck at the Busy Box command line ..... does anyone know what to do? [23:22] *&^{(*^*&^%*&{)* microsoft. they can (*^P)&* [23:22] stefg, No i want to put them in a subdirectory to clear up my home dir.

[23:23] hehe [23:23] hmm. ., ok i did the cat /var/log/X0rg.0.log and its pretty long.. i didnt see anything [23:23] ^root^: I will come to you once I get linux back, on windows I just use mIRC + Chatzilla + Windows Live Messenger [23:23] <^root^> so anyone there with HP 6720s? [23:23] Ghostinthedarkne, VMware 6.5 will work out of the box with Hardy. It's in beta now, but the beta is very slow with debugging turned on. Virtual Box will hold you over if need be. :) [23:23] dek: there's probably a kernel hacker channel too somewhere around.. perhaps look at kernel.org [23:23] sup all [23:23] evilbug : if you have alternate it should be same ( I think even live will work) [23:23] anyone have experience with the xrandr error changing resolutions? [23:23] hischild, are you serious? [23:23] Hasone_, did you censor that yourself, or is my xchat treating me like a child? [23:23] can someone chat with me in pm about this? [23:23] anyone know how to make xmms default mp3 player [23:23] Vlet: Sorry, but did you send me a message? [23:23] ozfalcon: these are just bookmarks. put them where you want them and bokkmark tehm again [23:24] Steve^^, that'd be him [23:24] Hasone_, yes i am. [23:24] Steve^^, I censored that myself. [23:24] effowe, a little easier way is, System -> Administration -> System Logs [23:24] insomnia_, i already told you... [23:24] hischild, very well, then. [23:24] stefg: it works fine able burn .avi as data and music on the cd's and burn them on the dvd as well i watch movies through the dvd drive and listen to cd's through it. [23:24] good good! [23:24] stefg ok thanks [23:24] sorry missed it [23:24] tanath: ? [23:24] <^root^> TeamColtra[NADC]: dont tell me that... Come body be a man, ever heard of the famous quotes like " If i can make French Fries at my home free, why should i go to next door McDonalds?" and "Wheelchairs are meant for the people who are limp, cannot walk, do not want to walk or afraid to walk, are they for you?" [23:24] Hasone_: I want to point out what everytime i see your screen name, I think "Handsome" [23:24] effowe, you can search there, and look for the date of your last crash and last time it happened, and look about that time, that will at least help get you pointed in the right direction [23:24] insomnia_, there's also System > Prefs > Preferred apps [23:24] hey guys [23:24] Vlet, it doesn't look like there are any bluetooth apps that can scan and pair with devices, at least from what I can see in synaptic... [23:24] tanath: didnt fix it [23:25] by the way, )*&^*^(&^%# stands for "hubajarbagrrrgrrrrwarbababa" [23:25] !ot ^root^ [23:25] Factoid ot ^root^ not found [23:25] !offtopic [23:25] con-man, ? [23:25] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:25] are there issues with WPA2 and disconnects on an intel WLAN ? [23:25] insomnia_: right click mp3 file > properties > open with > Add... [23:25] tanath: nothing in keyboard layout looks messed up [23:25] david_-_-: so the CD that's in *now* might be bad. these errors mean: CD or DVD unreadable [23:25] <^root^> ALL: sorry, i went oftopic, so anyone needs noob level help from a senior noob? :P [23:25] stefg ah, I can just move them and they know where to look. Cool [23:25] MatBoy: WPA2 might not even be suppourted by the Linux kernel yet [23:25] insomnia_, right click on an mp3. there's a list of apps with radio buttons next to them. click the one you want. if it's not there, you can add it [23:25] sebsebseb: mhh [23:25] insomnia: and if xmms isn't listed, you type a custom command at the bottom (I presume it's xmms?) [23:25] stefg: uh there is nothing in it now it is empty. that is weird [23:26] tanath: the keys on the numpad just move my mouse around [23:26] ^root^, how do I make my cd burner better? It doesn't know how to make a cd without scratching it or something. [23:26] insomnia_, right click and go to properties, that is [23:26] shane2peru: check your pm [23:26] sebsebseb: you know that quite for sure ? [23:26] con-man, ah, i had that... [23:26] ^root^: I hear you, but there are just some features that I can get through main party apps that I can't get with free software, like the ability to drag and drop files to friends, etc. [23:26] thanks tanath got it [23:26] sebsebseb: WPA2 is not a kernel-level issue, but a chipset driver level issue. there are certainly WPA2=capable chipsets for Linux. [23:26] <^root^> Hasone_: buy a new one :P, no hardware, i just know software related senior noob level issues... [23:26] insomnia_, np [23:26] effowe, don't know how. lol [23:26] tanath: the fix? [23:26] heh [23:26] double click me or something [23:26] con-man, lemme look for it.. [23:26] MatBoy: wireless is a very propritary thing sadly, meaning certain wireless devices will not work with Linux at all, or they will with a lot of messing around. Why? simple, because the hardware manufactures carn't be bothered to suppourt Linux with that hardware. and the community hasn't done suppourt for it, which is very diffcult to do [23:27] tanath: k [23:27] effowe, I'm semi Linux knowledgeable, but irc, I'm a nooooooob. [23:27] hello everyone-is it possible to remove the ubuntu desktop and all of the libraries? I'm currently using Kubuntu 8.04 and KDE4 [23:27] <^root^> TeamColtra[NADC]: fall under the wheelchairs category then... :P :D i heard someone say on #linux that geeks do everything the bash way :D [23:27] MatBoy: lspci -vvv | grep etwork [23:27] mneptok: tell him that or he may have read it already when you told me [23:27] con-man, Sys > Prefs > Keyboard > Mouse keys, to turn that off [23:27] shane2peru: for sure, i dont know what im looking for in here, my last crash was like 15 minutes ago, so its in here somewhere.. [23:27] sebsebseb: yes, I understand that... I never have issues with intelcards, work out of the box, WEP also I thought and WPA maybe... WPA2 never tried [23:27] guys, fglrx keeps causing kernel crashes on Hardy... any pointers on how to fix? [23:28] MatBoy: 3945? 4965? [23:28] who do i install a splash screen ? [23:28] con-man, layouts tab to make sure you have the right layout [23:28] MatBoy: it seems that there should be some driver avialabe according to mneptok [23:28] maunykah : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/purekde read remove Ubuntu [23:28] how* [23:28] mneptok: old one, 2200BG [23:28] !splash [23:28] To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [23:28] maunykah: a first step would be to remove libgnome, which will take a /lot/ of the gnome stuff with it as dependency [23:28] thanks zvacet [23:28] tanath: I think I do [23:28] maunykah : it is O.k. [23:28] thx [23:28] stefg do I do that through the terminal? [23:28] MatBoy: ah, that driver has been causing some issues with the Intel firmware hub (FWH) on some Hardy installations. are you running Hardy? [23:28] if so how would I go about that [23:29] MatBoy: by the way wireless isn't that secure full stop. since there are ways to get round WEP and technologies like it [23:29] fix me [23:29] I need help guys.Just installed hardy heron and it installed cdrom drivers on my dvd burner. Total noob so how do I fix?? [23:29] does anyone have a "Public" folder in their home directory??? (Or did I somehow create it?) [23:29] effowe, check out your sys, xorg, or kernel, see if there is anything odd? Or even keep checking back to see if something always shows up in the logs at the time of crashes. [23:29] tanath: found it, its in the mouse keys tab [23:29] amantz: you have an elaborate graphical frontend with startup manager [23:29] tanath: uncheck the option [23:29] con-man, that's what i pointed you to... [23:29] mneptok: I' masking for someone :) I putted him to Ubuntu ;) [23:29] effowe, it will probably say error, or something. [23:29] maunykah :what uninstalling ubuntu? [23:29] con-man, lol [23:29] tanath: you told me the layout ta b? [23:29] con-man, that was after [23:29] sebsebseb: yes, aorund wep, but WPA is much more difficult [23:29] stefg: why would it say that if there is nothing in the drive? [23:30] con-man, in case that didn't do it [23:30] amantz: look for startupmanager in synaptic, or type "sudo apt-get install startupmanager" in a terminal [23:30] shane: aight, thanks for the help, im looking around [23:30] zvacet, do you mean why? or what am I trying to uninstall? [23:30] maunykah: synaptic... serach for all libgnome packages and check what they cause to be removed if you remove the lib-package [23:30] effowe, no prob [23:30] tanath: 1450 users = text scrolls by really fast [23:30] MatBoy: have them subscribe to bug 102982 [23:30] hey guys... quick *nix question. I have a directory created by netatalk (via AFP share) with the following permissions: drwx--S--- <-- what does the 'S' mode do? [23:30] Launchpad bug 102982 in linux-source-2.6.20 "intel_rng: FWH not detected " [Medium,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/102982 [23:30] MatBoy: hardwired is of course better than wireless, wireless will have issues regarding speeds where as hardwired will not [23:30] dsl502T anyone? [23:30] con-man, true :) [23:30] yes [23:30] ^root^: if it makes you accept me as a man, I can honestly say that I did not pay for any of the software i have. (I beta tested, so i didn't pirate either) [23:30] ;) [23:30] david_-_-: could be harmless... the drive tries to read a medium which simply isn't there [23:30] con-man, but you did see the comment to open that app, which is the same comment that told you to disable that :P [23:31] maunykah : I mean: "if so how would I go about that" [23:31] <^root^> TeamColtra[NADC]: thats better than piracy... I am a firm believer of FLOSS though [23:31] pardon? [23:31] TeamColtra[NADC]: The testosteron level of that statement is off the charts. [23:31] stefg: should i post it on the forums ? and see what everyone else may find out? or would it be a waste of my time? [23:31] n8 [23:32] sebsebseb: true [23:32] oh that..I was asking stefg a question..sorry zvacet=D [23:32] david_-_-: if everything works i'd just ignore it [23:32] I suspect sarcasm adriaan? [23:32] MatBoy: so is this wireless stuff for you or someone else? I read something you said to the other guy [23:32] how can I bulk-rename files? like mv -R *.htm *.html -- something like that? (but that command doesn't work) [23:32] stefg: that is the point not everything works right the usb ports do not and neither does the dvd in wine. [23:32] maunykah :no,my mistake [23:33] TeamColtra: just a little bit, perhaps :) [23:33] sebsebseb: yeah, he is in vmware, but I want to prove him that Ubuntu is the best there is :) [23:33] sceo: there is a variation of "mv" that can do that: "mmv" ... but you'd have to install it first I guess. [23:33] scorp123; thanks I'll give it a look [23:33] Matboy: yes Ubuntu is pretty good, but sadly not for all users [23:33] sceo: alternatively, you could write a script to do it [23:33] might be able to use find & exec [23:34] sebsebseb: Lies, ubuntu is great for everyone [23:34] sebsebseb: that is heresy! (and yes, that was fully sarcastic) [23:34] <^root^> MatBoy: what proof does it need? check the channel user count, ubuntu is at top, and since days since when i started checking :P [23:34] sebsebseb : nothing is [23:34] david_-_-: the usb issue is unrelated, imho. so that's what the forums are for, and #winehq might be a good place to ask, too [23:34] Matboy: in fact certain users would just be better off with Windows or a Windows alternative such as ReactOS when it is more mature http://www.reactos.org [23:34] <^root^> sebsebseb: it is for all users if its for me... i gues... [23:34] sebsebseb: nah, I switched over from Debian, what was a good idea, and changed in the beginning of this year from XFCE to gnome... ow man, how perfect is gnome these days, SMB, SDcards, all great ! [23:34] dumb question time: i just dl'd a game through a .deb file, i ran the file, and installed it, now how do i run it? [23:34] =D [23:35] MatBoy: yep GNome :) KDE yuck [23:35] wakka-wakka: I take it it's not in your applications > games menu? [23:35] wakka-wakka, does it appear on menu ? [23:35] wakka-wakka: Is it in the games folder? [23:35] MatBoy: well excpet for certain KDE apps for example Konversation and K3B [23:35] nope [23:35] you're all in deep shit [23:35] omg wrong chan [23:35] wakka-wakka: what game was it, then? [23:35] Hi! Please advice LJ-client with tags support? [23:35] stefg: thank you, and the usb ports are not that big a deal but i will ask later in wine when i feel up to dealing with it more. again thank you stefg. [23:35] then it should be in usr [23:35] sebsebseb: I use them in GNOME ;) [23:35] usr/bin am i not correct? [23:36] MatBoy: yes same [23:36] TeamColtra: it should be, yes [23:36] adriann: dope wars =D [23:36] ^-- at wakka-wakka [23:36] * sebsebseb for example Ubuntu is not for many Windows gamers the ones that play brought propritary games, that have no chance of running well in Wine Codewaeavers or Cedega [23:36] :) Sweet, I have been using ubuntu for about a month now, and already being able to give support [23:36] sebsebseb: I' m not that pure anymore that I hate KDE in such a way, I don' t like to use KDE anymore as it' s not clean, also not in the menu... but the apps are good :) [23:36] Wakka: take a look in the /usr/bin/ directory, look for dopewars or dopw or something [23:36] sebsebseb: all written with the same thought [23:37] wakka: if you find it, that's the command you use in the terminal [23:37] wakka: you can add it to the menu too, do you know how to do that? [23:37] MatBoy: in my experience of customziing Gnome it hasn't been quite as good as I wanted it to be, but better than KDE still [23:37] sebsebseb: From my experiance, most ubuntu users are running a dual boot with windows [23:37] TeamColtra: I've used ubuntu off and on for about two years and still fail miserably at giving support. [23:37] kde++ [23:37] yep that's true TeamColtra [23:38] it is not in the usr/bin directory =/ [23:38] TeamColtra: Guess I suck at it :) [23:38] a bunch of stuff is though [23:38] That is not founded by anything, no stats or anything but from what it appears taht is the case [23:38] wakka-wakka, what are you trying to find? [23:38] sebsebseb: true, it' s a pain for that, I use a multi monitor setup, as I have the problem now on hardy that my apps are opened on the topscreen :S [23:38] wakka: hold on, I'll see if I can find the command [23:38] Adriaan giving professional support is in my job discription, so i have to learn how to give it well. [23:38] (not in ubuntu, but I have a great memory for things like that) [23:38] sebsebseb: but gnome is already quite complete, and veery clean... so that solves a lot :) [23:38] (currently i just have to learn all the names) [23:39] fastz: he's looking for dopewars [23:39] Hiya. can somebody please give me the link to download ubuntu iso file? The distro. [23:39] TeamColtra: yep real IT technitan/pro in the making here, and I think a real one should have experience of various operating systems, and not just Winblows [23:39] ops nvm me [23:39] sebsebseb: I need sleep, cu tomorrow :) [23:39] I just saw the topic [23:39] <^root^> who told about ReactOS here :P :D, nice thing, just checked, really nice effort for easy migration [23:39] how do I manually inject the bmc43xx driver when Im installing aircrack? === Onyx_ is now known as Onyx [23:39] hello people, I'm trying to change my resolution to 1024X768. I'm having trouble [23:39] that was me root :) [23:39] adriaan, then use the 'find' command in a terminal window... or 'whereis' [23:39] * sebsebseb Yeah ReactOS I am looking forward when it is more mature then can recommend that and Ubuntu [23:40] sebsebseb: I am going into the airforce, and plan on staying there untill i retire... however, currently being able to give good support is a great quality to have [23:40] fastz: he doesn't know the name of the binary, that's all === TeamColtra[NADC] is now known as TeamColtra [23:40] adriaan, wakka-wakka, 'find /usr/bin -name "*dope*" -type f' [23:40] Hey all what is the effect of this crontab: 10 * 1 * * /usr/bin/foo [23:40] <^root^> sebsebseb: ahan, nice thing to share, thanks buddy, but i guess i am ubuntu + Virtual Box (with windows XP for games) [23:40] The example on the www site reads: "Will run /usr/bin/foo at 12:10am on the first day of the month." [23:40] the channel for ReactOS is on freenode also by the way [23:40] pwnt :http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [23:40] anyone have any netatalk on Ubuntu and can tell me why directories created on the root of the sharepoint get permissions "drwx--S---", yet anywhere else they are what I want "drwxrwsr-x" ? [23:40] but it appears that it will run at 10minutes past _every_ hour on the first. [23:40] adriaan, wakka-wakka, or change /usr/bin to whatever directory you want to search thru [23:41] mmv was quickest way to go once I found a tutorial for renaming; thanks all! [23:41] http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/games/dopewars [23:41] fastz: yes, that should do it, thank you [23:41] i dl'd it from there [23:41] how do I make /home/user/bin a part of my path? [23:41] <^root^> sebsebseb: ahan, i will check that out... [23:41] wakka: try the command Fastz gave you [23:41] I am intreiged by the name "Dope Wars" [23:41] * sebsebseb well Ubuntu as my primary OS with Vista Home Premium sometimes on this comp [23:41] by the way [23:41] * sebsebseb I am in the works of converting my family to Ubuntu, already done my little brother it seems he is 6 though and so no Micrsoft vender lock in bult into him :d [23:41] how do I turn off "free the fish"? [23:41] <^root^> sebsebseb: but reactOs would be for Windows/windows oriented users, for a person like me, i guess we wont migrate... [23:42] how do I make /home/user/bin a part of my path? [23:42] is it worth to upgrade from 7.10 to new version [23:42] Does anyone know how to fix the BusyBox problem yet? I installed Hardy Heron using WUBI inside Windows XP two days ago, and out of nowhere, now it refuses to boot and I'm stuck at the Busy Box command line ..... does anyone know what to do? [23:42] root no but could be useful to have in a VM or something rather than actsaul Windows when it is more mature [23:42] ozfalcon: you stat that in ~/.bashrc or [23:42] TeamColtra, I dont know if it's still available but there was a mobile phone version of Dope Wars that was pretty sweet. You bought and sold drugs and, well that was basically it, but it was still a good way to waste your workday [23:42] <^root^> sebsebseb: thats really nice, same is what i am doing, but a little broader level [23:42] meaning? [23:42] zvacet: whats the different between Mythbuntu and Gobuntu? [23:42] ozfalcon: you should look in ~/.profile :) [23:42] stefg, k [23:42] @ ^root^ What ever happened to lindows? Wasn't that supposed to be linux's killer distro? [23:43] ozfalcon: it' [23:43] my dvd burner has standard cdrom drivers installed how do I fix this?? [23:43] <^root^> sebsebseb: leading a community promoting Open Source, and migrating people to Linux (that is ofcourse ubuntu) [23:43] the one to convert all the windows users to linux [23:43] ozfalcon: it's already done for you [23:43] "find /usr/bin -name "*dope*" -type f" didn't do anything in terminal [23:43] I am really getting annoyed! I can't display PHP files in any web browser I installed php5 and apache2, but I still can't get PHP! [23:43] and which version of ubuntu is the stable atm? I haven't been on for awhile. is it Gutsy Gribbon, or Hardy Heron? [23:43] * sebsebseb Danish989: I guess your rather new to Ubuntu? [23:43] Heron [23:43] pwnt :http://www.mythbuntu.org/ [23:43] <^root^> TeamColtra: who said? i can never think that a person who is a fulltime Linux would want impure thing such as Lindows or Linux XP... [23:43] pwnt: hardy is official and very stable as far as I can tell [23:44] hello [23:44] wakka-wakka: try sudo updatedb && locate dope [23:44] how do I manually inject the bmc43xx driver when Im installing aircrack? [23:44] pwnt : http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/gobuntu [23:44] sebsebseb: yes, how'd you know? [23:44] can some body suggest a program to have different wall papers on all work spaces? [23:44] @ ^root^ But it was supposed to get windows users running linux (probably to ween them away) [23:44] root: well the propritary Linux stuff such as Flash is a must have for many Linux users [23:44] <^root^> TeamColtra: didnt see your enxt message, so much people here :( [23:44] daemon3: did you run "sudo a2enmod php5" then "sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart"? [23:44] @ ^root^ But it was supposed to get windows users running linux (probably to ween them away) [23:44] Danish989: because you installed it with Wubi rather than doing it with partitions [23:45] sebsebseb: I would, but then Hardy Heron came out with the Wubi option and I used that ... [23:45] adriaan, to get rid of Wanda the fish, you have to run 'killall gnome-panel' [23:45] ere: it's doing something [23:45] Danish989: what did you mean by busy box? [23:45] Is lindows even in development anymore? I remember they used to sell it at our local tech/book/game store [23:45] <^root^> TeamColtra: i never tried it, i was a Fedora user, then Debian and finally journey ended on ubuntu with 5.04 on my P3 back then.... === nico_ is now known as nico_|gone [23:45] Danish989: yes Wubi is a nice idea and all, but it's probably still better to install it with partiitons. I mean think about it, what if your Windows screws up big time. you then lose Ubuntu to? [23:45] Starnestommy: No, guess I didn't. [23:45] wakka-wakka: it's updating the database [23:45] what's the better partitioning system for hardy? [23:45] @ ^root^ Nor have I, but thats what everyone was saying [23:45] i have about 40 packages that i want to copy to one directory from my local repo in /ubuntu/ .how can i use find and give it all the package names in one command so it will copy those to my home directory? will [ find -name "bash apt amarok konsole" | xargs cp /home/me/temp ] work? [23:45] ere: figured [23:45] fastz: thank you [23:46] <^root^> TeamColtra: i dont believe everyone :P :D ;) [23:46] stefg, Doesn't seem to work. I have a folder "bin" in my home, The commands are executable. But I can't run them from command. [23:46] does the 'use previous setting' in the screen resolution tool work for anyone? [23:46] !tab | wakka-wakka [23:46] wakka-wakka: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:46] sebsebseb: It's a command line prompt .. it's the default shell or something like that, and it says (initramfas) at the bottom ... I'm just stuck there and I can enter commands, but I have no idea wht to do [23:46] Danish989: a screenshot would be useful [23:46] TeamColtra : isn´t it Linspire now [23:46] ubottu: holy shit [23:46] Apparently lindows has become linspire (lindows was back in the 90s so i dont doubt it) [23:47] I got stuck in busybox and the only solution I found was reinstall [23:47] ubottu: isn't that tricky [23:47] TeamColtra, Lindows turned into Linspire... then they spawned Freespire. Personally, I wasn't impressed with Lindows when it came out [23:47] Danish989: sounds like it can't find the / (root) partition [23:47] sebsebseb: I've gone through the forums, and a lot of people have been having the same exact problem. Some, even before ubuntu being correctly installed :S [23:47] wakka-wakka: ubottu is a bot [23:47] TeamColtra: yes Lindows,became Linspire since Microsoft didn't like the Lindows name [23:47] Danish989: you cant boot to anything ? [23:47] cpudan80: nope [23:47] Danish989: not even the recovery thing? [23:47] zvacet- what should i use as a partitioning fs for the hardy install? [23:47] stefg, "SET |grep PATH" doesn't show it as there. [23:47] sebsebseb: would tehy really have a case? [23:47] scorpking: at the forums, someone said it's because of a faulty shutdown [23:47] Lindows != Windows [23:47] evilbug: ext3 [23:47] hrmm, ubuttu is not giving me etiquette feedback [23:47] who uses torrents? [23:47] ubottu: what if it gives me multiple choices === cormentia is now known as Cormentia [23:48] Cpudan80- thanks! [23:48] curtis: Me :) [23:48] cpudan80: It takes me to busybox after Ubuntu starts to load, I see the loading screen but then it immaturely stops and the Busybox command prompt comes up [23:48] Danish989: ok, but it's a good idea to show people a screenshot of your problem. for example I may be able to help you if I saw a screenshot, but I don't know what your actsaul problem is [23:48] !bot | wakka-wakka [23:48] wakka-wakka: I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose pwodered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeus looks in the near future ;) [23:48] wakka: ubottu is a bot, it can't answer [23:48] Arky44: private chat? [23:48] Danish989: could be. i have the same problem on one of my servers after a power failure [23:48] curtis, i do. What's up with it? [23:48] Still nothing for PHP, but I'll have to restart because I just got my video driver squared away. [23:48] hi all [23:48] bye all [23:48] my grandma uses torrents [23:48] Danish989: Restore your windows MBR --- are you using Vista or XP? [23:48] Hischild: Private chat? [23:48] sebsebseb: all it says on the screen is BusyBox v1.3.1 Debian inbuilt shell (ash) (initramf) and that's it [23:48] you invite me. [23:49] curtis: you'll have to initiate...I'm still working on my pidgin IRC :P [23:49] was ubottu custom coded or was it based on another code? Because I would be very interested to have a like bot [23:49] Danish989: and that's when you open the terminal? [23:49] curtis, please explain me why you'd need a private chat. [23:49] scorpking: than that's probably it .. the forums said to reboot in dos and run chkdsk with /r to repair the drive Wubi is installed on [23:49] TeamColtra: ubotu and its clones are supybots [23:49] I AM, JESUS MAN! [23:49] <^root^> Channel-OPs: Isnt there a Ubuntu-chat channel for offtopic things? i joined but its empty and i am not the op, means someone did create it... [23:49] sebsebseb: that's what it says at the top of the terminal [23:49] I have a broken laptop screen so I need to use an external monitor -- but it is giving me "Out Of Range" problems [23:49] dont want others to hear bout what i am talking about [23:49] ^root^: #ubuntu-offtopic [23:49] Danish989: can you stil use the terminal with that message? [23:49] Arky44: how do i invite you? [23:49] <^root^> Starnestommy: thanks... [23:49] ^root^, #ubuntu-offtopic [23:49] sebsebseb: yes [23:50] dang, too late [23:50] <^root^> FastZ: thank to you as well.. [23:50] Danish989: well then it probably isn't really anything as such to worry about [23:50] !version [23:50] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [23:50] sebsebseb: I think it does have to do with a faulty shutdown :/ [23:50] hischild: Invite me to the private chat. [23:50] i found it, turned out to be in the usr/games [23:50] hischild: we need to talk. [23:50] question, is there a search box in azureus that i can enable? or do i have to manually search on net then add to torrent download list in azur [23:50] ozfalcon: in my .profile is a statement that says PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH, with check if it exists before it. i didn't put it there, so i guess that's a default [23:50] <^root^> Danish989: and what about less /etc/issue? isnt it the same thing? [23:50] how can i see my hardware specs through terminal [23:51] curtis: use /query *persons name* [23:51] curtis, like i said before. Please explain to me why you need it in private chat and not in the public channel. [23:51] ubottu is a "Supybot" [23:51] Danish989: well if a faulty NTFS Windows partition has not been shut down properly, and then an install of Ubuntu that has been done on partitions, trys to use it, it cannot mount that partition [23:51] * JesusMan spanks you [23:51] adriaan: i do not know how to put it into the games drop down menu, how do i go about doing that? [23:51] YOU HAVE BEEN A NAUGHTY BOY [23:51] JesusMan is here to save the day! [23:51] curtis: you might need to switch to a different nick and register it, but most people prefer to do things in the channel [23:51] Every time i start up Ubuntu i need to run the command sudo modprobe ndiswrapper to get my wireless to work, is there a way to get this command to run automatically. [23:51] orudie_ lspci in terminal i think [23:51] hi, I have a wireless card, but ubuntu doesn't recognize it, and I don't know the model, so, how can I make it work? [23:51] Danish989: I think NTFS partitions are sensitive yes if they are not shut down properly [23:51] sebsebseb: even if it wasnt installe on an NTFS partition? === ubuntu__ is now known as julle_ [23:51] stefg, I see what it's doing, IF it exists it sets it. (I have to logout/in AFTER putting the bin folder there) [23:51] JesusMan: the caps really arent necessary [23:52] ^root^: I don't follow ... what'd you mean? [23:52] I apologize. I am just overly excited to be apart of this IRC community. [23:52] ozfalcon: or simply source .profile again [23:52] I really am. Look! I have my terminal open now! [23:52] * JesusMan runs emacs [23:52] haha, silly yow! [23:52] JesusMan, try being a PRODUCTIVE part of the community then [23:52] gets me every time! [23:52] In any case, does anyone know how to rotate the compiz fusion cube vertically? [23:52] hischild: you got cod4? [23:52] jesus man [23:52] JesusMan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:52] curtis, no i do not. [23:52] Danish989: as I said before it's probably best to put it on a hard disk the old/common way as in partitons. and you can easilly re size Windows with Gparted on the Live CD before instaliing anyway [23:52] !offtopic | JesusMan [23:52] JesusMan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:52] JesusMan: hehe, I know how that feels [23:52] Every time i start up Ubuntu i need to run the command sudo modprobe ndiswrapper to get my wireless to work, is there a way to get this command to run automatically. [23:52] I'm not having any luck getting my laptop to mute its speakers when I plug in headphones. Can anyone here help me? lspci shows audio device Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller, and /proc/asound/card0/codec lists Realtek ALC262. I've tried adding options snd-hda-intel model=auto, model=laptop, model=3stack, model=lenovo, model=toshiba, model=laptop-automute... [23:52] ...to alsa-base - none have any effect on the muting. :/ [23:52] <^root^> Danish989: isnt "less /etc/issue" better just for checking release then "lsb_release -a" :P [23:53] belor1: put it in /etc/modules === bloo is now known as blu [23:53] just say ndiswrapper [23:53] ^root^ : lol, I am soo lost right now [23:53] belor1: /etc/modules holds all modules that should be loaded at startup [23:53] Does anyone know how to rotate the compiz fusion cube vertically? [23:53] stefg, But that only works for the current terminal. [23:53] Danish989: after all if a virus say screws up Windows big time, then you lose Ubuntu to? [23:53] hellmet, isnt that what should happen when he modprobes ndiswrapper? [23:53] stefg, so what do i put in there exactly [23:53] Back in a sec............. [23:53] damn this room is busy how do any thing accomplished [23:53] belor1: Just add 'ndiswrapper' to the list .. without the quotes.. It should work [23:53] <^root^> Danish989: isnt "less /etc/issue" better just for checking release than "lsb_release -a" *** corrected [23:53] !who | Sunx [23:53] Sunx: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [23:54] belor1: just look at the file, you'll know [23:54] who uses torrents? [23:54] Sunx, that's how we get things done :) [23:54] Arky44, ctrl+alt+left click then you can move the cube every way you want... can't move it vertically otherwise [23:54] most of us probably [23:54] Sunx, by sticking to the topic and the topic only - i.e. support questions and answers for ubuntu [23:54] Hi, grub wont install on either of my disks. After I removed Vista [23:54] does /etc/inittab no longer exist ?? [23:54] sebsebseb: that is true, but at the moment my windows xp install is more imp to me than my ubuntu install and I didn't want to mess that up, since I am a Newb at the moment [23:54] curtis, you can game just fine in ubuntu. Please don't ask for illegal software in here, nor for any links. [23:54] Any help with configuring an external display? My primary laptop display is broken. [23:54] Danish989: what you mean imp? [23:54] curtis: I do, but what does that have to do with ubuntu? [23:54] sebsebseb: important [23:55] curtis : say what do you have in mind and somebody will halp you [23:55] Danish989: resizing with Gparted is rather safe [23:55] Hardy won't install and it's giving me the following error: The installer ecountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno2] No such file or directory: '/rofs/usr/share/grub-installer/grub-installer [23:55] hwilde: upstart!... [23:55] curtis, what's your question about torrents? I'm pretty sure the majority of people in this channel uses torrents [23:55] !upstart | hwilde # [23:55] hwilde #: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [23:55] excuse me! [23:55] Everyone! [23:55] a link for cod4 [23:55] and gta sanadreas [23:55] evening [23:55] Danish989: the chance of resizing a Windows partiion with Gparted going wrong is something like 1 in a 100th [23:55] the thing is that i checked the cd after burning it and a few more times when it booted. [23:55] sebsebseb: I know, it took me a while to get all that done, and I was installing gutsy using that, but then Hardy Heron came out, and I said why not just use Wubi [23:55] stefg, i dont have a etc/modules but i have a etc/modutils [23:56] stefg, I need to definite a ttyS0 to respawn for grub to output to a serial port - where do I do this now? http://www.howtoforge.com/setting_up_a_serial_console [23:56] curtis: wrong channel [23:56] anyone know of a good way to make automatic ebay bids? [23:56] Danish989: the beautify of Gparted is also that you can see what will happen before applying [23:56] evilbug : did you check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM and disc for errors ? [23:56] curtis: try #/dev/null [23:56] Danish989: why not use Wubi, because if your WIndows screws up big time you then lose Ubuntu to? [23:56] <_Andrew> curtis, This is Ubuntu help channel, if you get a question related to Ubuntu we can help you [23:56] curtis, none of what you said helped anyone answer your question. what question do you have about torrents? [23:56] can you ssh over ssh? example, i'm at work, i ssh into my server, can i then ssh to another machine on the network as the server through the server? [23:56] no this is the oxygen channel not the hydrogen channel [23:56] FastZ: so it's impossible to do like ctrl+alt+down (if i change some keyboard shortcuts?) [23:56] sebsebseb: true, resizing partitions using that is easy as pie .. but I have a SATA harddisk, and it was being a pain since Grub gets confused betweeen them when loading ubuntu after install [23:56] Hi, Grub won't mount . Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition [23:56] zvacet- i checked the disc for errors too many times.once after it finished burning,and then a few more times when it boot in my pc. [23:56] hwilde: look at /etc/event.d [23:57] I have followed the online tutorials [23:57] !offtopic | curtis [23:57] matt____: yes you can [23:57] curtis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:57] does anyone have a link for cod4? [23:57] Danish989: ah yes Grub can be a pain, and with Wubi it uses the Windows bootloader? [23:57] amrik: thanks [23:57] curtis: link? [23:57] Arky44, I believe so. I haven't been able to figure out how to move the cube up and down using the keyboard. I dont thing it's possible actually. only with the mouse. [23:57] sebsebseb: I'm not saying you're not right, I'm just saying that I chose Wubi because it came out with hardy heron when I was installing for the first time ever, and as a Newb I opted for that [23:57] matt: yes please [23:57] hey all, can anyone tell me how i can view the hardware specifics through terminal, such as info aboud hard drivers, ram, and cpu [23:57] evilbug : burn it onll0ower possible speed [23:57] curtis: no, what do you mean by link? [23:57] anyone know if warcraft 3 works well with wine? [23:57] Danish989: you said you had Gutsy before? well you could have upgraded it to Hardy Heron [23:57] everyone! [23:58] attention, please!
