[00:00] bruit, I'm looking it over now. [00:00] con-man- sorry couldnt help yea [00:00] Surlent777, sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo aptitude install -f [00:00] bouma, synaptic is just a gui to apt-get [00:00] thanks [00:00] Ahadiel, im pretty sure that is the culprit then i have about 9 instances of gtk-gnash and there all using about 10% a piece [00:00] I cannot manage my ubunto installation [00:01] steph291: you can with sudo [00:01] *ubuntu [00:01] usser: right, im just learning about repos and possibly sources, not sure of all the names, but i would believe that the gui might manage the package sources for you too [00:01] steph291 It asked u to definr root password that u wish to use for root [00:01] yes, so why, dusing installation, it asked me for the root password and NOW it's not working ? [00:02] ? [00:02] What? [00:02] you didn't reboot off the livecd right? [00:02] no [00:02] The install doesnt ask for the root password [00:02] it asks you for your own passowrd [00:02] So.... I was about to ask if anyone has a short guide on how to reconfigure my sound card to use ALSA instead of OSS...? :) [00:02] steph291: you can use sudo instead of logging in as root. Just put "sudo" before a command and that command will run as root [00:02] password* [00:02] steph291, are you trying to log in as root? [00:02] bouma, gui lets u modify software sources easy way, but then again u can always edit /etc/apt/sources.list manually [00:02] Ubuntu desktop did [00:02] how can i see what driver my network card is using? [00:02] the password you set during login is for sudo, not for "root" login [00:02] er during setup [00:03] ok [00:03] RIght [00:03] root logon is disabled [00:03] what's the proper way to make a symbolic link? [00:03] how can i see what driver my network card is using? how do i change the driver? [00:03] kindofabuzz: ln [00:03] kindofabuzz: ln -s target destination [00:03] which really I don't understand, how is sudo with a default password the same as the main user's safer than root? or is it just to help the user not mess up their system [00:03] thanks [00:04] kindofabuzz: Where target is what you want destination to point to [00:04] fiyawerx: sudo logs things and it can be more finely controleld [00:04] is it more a safety issue than security [00:04] helix, try lshw -C network [00:04] fiyawerx: it's mostly to help prevent people screwing things up [00:04] ah, nod [00:04] do i need to make the link the exact same name as what it's linking to? [00:04] SeaPhor, thanks [00:04] still having major trouble with sound [00:04] fiyawerx: in general it's kind of "best practices" [00:04] kindofabuzz: no [00:04] fiyawerx: it's a small difference. If root is locked, an attacker will have to guess the user name *and* password to break in. [00:04] Where can I find a guide to help me set my soundcard to use ALSA instead of OSS? :) [00:04] kindofabuzz: the "real" end of the link has to be exactly the same for obvious reasons [00:04] kindofabuzz: but the "link" end of the link can be different [00:05] helix: did that change to your fstab work? [00:05] soundray, yeah, just used to a more locked down sudo personally, i get it now [00:05] kindofabuzz: case in point, I have a couple of serial devices that I'm using *right now* as I type this [00:05] Hello all! I am having issues getting my wireless usb stick to auto connect to my wireless network every time I log on. I always need to do "Enable roaming", disable it and sync to my wireless [00:06] JohnPhys, yes, im about to reboot but want to edit my wireless driver before that. I want to know whether its using ipw3945 or iwl3945 [00:06] I just hope people don't get a really false sense of security saying just 'im using sudo, im safe', is there more info thats easily accessable to users on how to configure it? [00:06] kindofabuzz: one is /dev/ttyUSB0, one is /dev/ttyS0 [00:06] I want to start a xterm THAN su root [00:06] fiyawerx: man sudo and man sudoers [00:06] steph291, sudo su - may do it [00:06] erk i crashed, [00:06] steph291: sudo -i [00:06] or that [00:06] kindofabuzz: now if I want to switch which I'm talking to without restarting the app I can tell the app to use /dev/lighting and then change which port I link [00:06] gordon: well what i'm doing is running the nightly firefox builds, and need to make links to all the plugins [00:06] will try [00:06] helix: lsmod | grep ipw [00:07] fiyawerx: there are subtle differences between "sudo su", "sudo su -" and "sudo -i" [00:07] where are the icons located under share ? [00:07] yeah, didnt know aobut -i, first thought would have been su - [00:07] JohnPhys, no output [00:07] ok ... check this out- sudo -i [00:07] bouma /usr/share/pixmaps ? [00:08] than I enter my regular user passord [00:08] helix: lsmod | grep iwl [00:08] !rootshell [00:08] Using !sudo with single commands is preferable in most circumstances. However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [00:08] steph291: yes [00:08] and it work [00:08] ? [00:08] JohnPhys, tried too, idem, no output [00:08] steph291: yes [00:08] May someone tell me how to highlight someones name when i wanna talk to them [00:08] let say i want ot change the root password ? [00:08] LaneLimited: like this? [00:08] helix: then I'm not sure. On my laptop, I get results for ipw3945 [00:08] yeah gordon [00:08] steph291: you don't need to [00:08] JohnPhys, well i installed the hardy backports lemme see if that helps me, if not i'll be back on wired. reboot for now [00:08] steph291: but it involves the passwd command [00:08] brb [00:08] LaneLimited: type in "gor" and then a message === Surlent is now known as Surlent777 [00:09] first time I install ubuntu harddrive ... [00:09] ? [00:09] LaneLimited: you may need to tab more than once ;-) === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [00:09] unop: Can you repeat that last command? The system froze and I had to reboot [00:09] Surlent777, sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo aptitude install -f [00:09] steph291: sudo passwd [00:09] steph291: Root does not exist [00:09] "gordon" hi [00:09] steph291: you don't need to set a root password, just use sudo [00:09] !? [00:09] steph291: Dont enable it either [00:09] i have a pavilion dv6162ea and i have a sound problem with it in hardy. there was no problem in gutsy. its a fresh install and not an upgrade. can anyone help me ? [00:09] Cpudan80: that's not accurate [00:09] LaneLimited: you should get something like "gordonjcp: hello" [00:09] !root | steph291 [00:09] steph291: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [00:09] Stormcr0w, have you checked compatibility here?: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ [00:09] DaySleeper555, it is not recommended to enable the root password [00:09] soundray: What's not accurate [00:10] soundray: Using the root account is disabled by default [00:10] It's a workstation behind a router, in my own network [00:10] Cpudan80: do a 'grep root /etc/passwd' and you will see that root does exist [00:10] Cpudan80: that's a pretty silly factoid unless you're a native English speaker who has seen The Matrix [00:10] "gor" hi [00:10] unop: It asked me if I wanted to continue with an invalid swapspace. I told it no. [00:10] Cpudan80: it's just locked [00:10] no clue how it works... haha [00:10] soundray: Of course it has an entry in /etc/passwd [00:10] LaneLimited: hit the TAB key where it says [00:10] LaneLimited: by I mean press tab to tab-complete nicks [00:10] so i want to subscribe to some usenet groups in evolution, but i can't find out how to even add a new email account. how do i do that? [00:10] soundray: ALL accounts have entires is there [00:10] Cpudan80: which proves that it does exist [00:10] entries* [00:10] soundray: yes buy you cant login as it - so the point it moot [00:11] so what do i type? [00:11] "gor [00:11] how can i get gedit to insert instead of replacing everything [00:11] Cpudan80: no, it isn't. [00:11] LaneLimited: gor message [00:11] Cpudan80: saying that root is locked is something very different from saying that root doesn't exist [00:11] unop: When I rebooted, the graphics were screwed up (lowres mode) and now nvidia settings is gone and I can only get to 800x600. Lovely, yes? On the plus side, I see some new things, so I think the upgrade is going relatively smoothly [00:11] LaneLimited: if you start the line with someone's nick and then a colon, it should highlight them [00:11] is it a good idea to buy a laptop from america for the uk ??? [00:11] ??? [00:11] soundray: Now you are just playing word games with me -- which is stupid -- and doesn't help anybody [00:11] deluser root [00:11] does any1 know [00:11] i have a pavilion dv6162ea and i have a sound problem with it in hardy. there was no problem in gutsy. its a fresh install and not an upgrade. can anyone help me ? [00:11] Br0k3: hit the insert hey [00:12] Cpudan80, actually, disabled and 'nonexistant' isn't a word game [00:12] Surlent777, one thing at a time, let this finish and then you can get around fixing what appears to be broken [00:12] Cpudan80: it would help if you just admitted that root does exist and drop the subject. [00:12] thanks a lot Starnestommy [00:12] gordon I got it... maybe? [00:12] x-X-x: the keyboard will be wrong [00:12] unop: Just a status update [00:12] nope! [00:12] gordonjcp is that the only thing ? [00:12] *sigh( [00:12] LaneLimited: not yet - it needs to be the full nick, and then a colon [00:12] close [00:12] Oh well [00:12] or maybe not the colon [00:12] gordonjc: hi [00:12] x-X-x: bad idea -- you'll have to pay import duty and it'll be bad in case of warranty repairs [00:12] unop: also I just noticed that I have xscreensaver now for some reason [00:12] gordonjcp; hi [00:12] unop: Anyway, it's done doing things [00:12] LaneLimited: \o/ [00:12] Cpudan80, you have to realize, a majority of the poeple in here won't know the difference, or that you mean something 'similar' and will take it word for word [00:12] hahahahaha! [00:13] what is a colon? [00:13] LaneLimited: a : [00:13] LaneLimited: ":" <- that [00:13] it's also a digestive organ [00:13] gordonjcp: i typed thatu [00:13] Surlent777, does this finish smoothly now? sudo aptitude install -f [00:13] hi spdf [00:13] whats a good partition program in linux? something like partition magic back in the days that lets you make a floppy/bootCD you can use for drive manipulation? [00:13] x-X-x: technically no, although 802.11b won't work properly [00:13] gordonjcp: ok? [00:13] Chrysalis, gparted ? [00:13] unop: Yes, it does [00:13] LaneLimited: yes yes, you've got it [00:13] Chrysalis: gparted [00:13] you gotta press tab to get the colon [00:14] gordonjcp: woot [00:14] x-X-x: stuff like power supplies shouldn't be a problem these days [00:14] unop: And for the record, kbfx isn't working; had to go back to KMenu [00:14] gparted lets you make floppy or boodcd for it? [00:14] When/how should i use lvm? (sorry i don't know anything about how to use it really) [00:14] unop: Should I try the update manager again? [00:14] gordonjcp: is it working? thanks a lot [00:14] Ashfire908: if you're planning on adding more disks or resizing partitions [00:14] mushroomsven: when Evolution Mail starts up it shows me a screen to add an email account, but if you aren't getting that just go to Options --> Preferences --> Accounts [00:14] Ashfire908: or if you're running Xen it's pretty good [00:14] Surlent777, i'm not familiar with kbfx .. anyway, try this. sudo sh -c "aptitude update; aptitude safe-upgrade" [00:15] Chrysalis: you can download a utility CD with gparted on it, or just use a Ubuntu Desktop CD (it has gparted, too) [00:15] Woot, Ubuntu installed without a hitch :D [00:15] Surlent777, make sure that exits fine too [00:15] woohoo, nice :) [00:15] my wireless cant seem to log onto any pw protected router [00:15] !yay | Masashi [00:15] Masashi: Glad you made it! :-) [00:15] any ideas [00:15] unop: No problems that I can see [00:15] luser_: omg. duh. i'm just blind. [00:15] Surlent777, if it does, then you have successfully upgraded to hardy and you can get about fixing things [00:15] soundray: ok, ill give it a try [00:16] im using ndiswrapper because hardy's wireless support is still broken [00:16] Surlent777, update manager should report things as ok too now [00:16] is there a general ubuntu news usnet group? [00:16] unop: I don't know whether to cry or faint or what now. Let's see if I can fix stuff [00:16] Hey! [00:16] arc_shmoo: hardy's wireless support isn't broken, support for your card is broken [00:16] !wallpaper [00:16] 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 [00:16] mushroomsven: well at least that is an easy problem to solve :D [00:16] should i use X11 Output in VLC to play x264 codec with out lagg? [00:16] boas [00:16] I need help installing, I just got a partition made and it sees the empty partition and Ubuntu wants to use it. Its saying "Checking the ext3 file system in partition #2" [00:16] arc_shmoo, ndiswrapper not to stable either, as i have recently learned ;-) [00:17] unop: Package Manger is happy =D [00:17] Surlent777, shouldn't be too much to fix .. a few things like the nvidia drivers might need a little coercing -- see !nvidia or !ati for more info [00:17] gordonjcp: something broke between gutsy and hardy [00:17] zChris: for me, sdl and opengl tend to work best. You can get a list with mplayer -vo help [00:17] unop: Does this include an automatic upgrade with Xfce and KDE as well? Is that why the KMenu replacement is acting up, you think? [00:17] soundray: incidentally audacious has turned out to be exactly what I was looking for [00:17] soundray: i have VLC, when i try to use OpenGL it gives me some error and quits :( [00:17] -with + for [00:17] SeaPhor: any alternative? or back to gutsy untill hardy is pdated? [00:18] gordonjcp, is it useful when a system has a hardward array controller, and it's not expected to add/remove drives? [00:18] I need help installing, I just got a partition made and it sees the empty partition and Ubuntu wants to use it. Its saying "Checking the ext3 file system in partition #2" It will freeze and just then later crash. [00:18] !nvidia [00:18] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [00:18] gordonjcp: oh great. May I ask what that illustrious plugin is? [00:19] JohnPhys, nop, no automount... and it seems it took more time to load when log in. ignore that tho. [00:19] soundray: yeah, it's a visualisation plugin that drives lighting equipment over RS232 [00:19] arc_shmoo, if yours is working, stick with it, mine is shakey here, but no workie in gutsy at all, article here: http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=63 [00:19] Surlent777, well, the upgrade would have upgraded any packages on the system .. it does not differentiate xfce from kde, etc .. i don't use kde so i am probably not the person to help you on that one .. ask someone else here or head to #kubuntu [00:19] soundray: it's not really safe for public release yet, because it involves building a rather scary custom serial controller [00:19] gordonjcp: wow, is that just for home entertainment or DJing? [00:19] JohnPhys, i also just realised that my wireless extension isn't recognized anymore, cant find it in NetworkManager and iwconfig [00:19] soundray: bit of both [00:20] SeaPhor: mine work on all no-password networks [00:20] soundray: could you help me with getting Ogl going with VLC? :) [00:20] unop: OK, thank you very much. I am very grateful. Off to fix more self-induced problems [00:20] zChris: what's your graphics card? [00:20] soundray: my sister and her husband work in theatre, I do a bit of video and music work, and a few of my friends are DJs [00:20] arc_shmoo, ahh, mine doesnt have that luxury, having to live with in-laws, wife screwed up my life! [00:20] soundray: I'm working on a nice simple one that uses an arduino and some Luxeons that you can build at home in an afternoon and run off a car battery [00:21] soundray: Geforce 8800 GT OC [00:21] JohnPhys, still there? [00:21] gordonjcp: aren't you also into time-lapse photography or does my memory fail me? [00:21] When installing, I have two partitions.. it sees two, 1 is /dev/sda1 type ntfs the second is /dev/sda2 type ext3 [00:21] hi spdf? [00:21] soundray: yup [00:21] What is the first one doing there.. [00:21] SeaPhor: im sure ill get to the ladder a few years after i graduate [00:21] arc_shmoo, the in-law's only have wireless and its wpa2 [00:21] zChris: are you using the proprietary nvidia driver? [00:21] Styles: Do you have Windows installed on it? [00:21] soundray: yes [00:21] soundray: mind you that OpenGL works for WoW in Wine [00:22] SeaPhor: i can always use micro$oft for a time(dual boot) [00:22] zChris: sorry, you've already done all the right things as far as I know [00:22] so ... i see where virtualbox 1.6 was released ..... how long does it take for something like that to hit the repositories? [00:22] soundray: i get [00000356] main private error: option glx-shm does not exist [00:22] gordonjcp: how's your C++? :) [00:23] cmw72, don't forget, i dont think the ose contains usb passthrough which can be a pain, i just installed vbox from binaries and it worked fine [00:23] they have a deb speciifcally for ubuntu even [00:23] arc_shmoo, i refuse to go back to M$, i've been M$ free for 2 years now, at home and on my business machines,,, no way, for me [00:23] helix: for a bit, yes [00:23] hey guys, anyone know how i can install tor on my Unbuntu install [00:23] is the OSE version the only one available on linux? [00:23] Steve998: sudo apt-get install tor [00:23] having a few problems, bit of a windows noob, just changed over to Ubuntu today [00:23] !splash screen [00:23] Factoid splash screen not found [00:24] i need raw partition functionality, and that doesn't exists in OSE version either. [00:24] helix: that automount should have worke,d that's what I use in my fstab, so I'm not sure. I also have no idea on your wireless. I gotta go for a while though, sorry to run. [00:24] Hello alll... What is a splash screen ?? [00:24] I was hoping maybe they added it in 1.6 [00:24] soundray: I mostly work in C [00:24] zChris: sorry, no further suggestions from me. Do ask the channel again, though. There are plenty of people who know more about OpenGL than me :) [00:24] gah... ubuntu hardy is taking forever to install. It's been stuck at storing language 75% for an hour >:( [00:24] yer i tryed that install tor command, whilst loged on as root and it said tor not found, i am using the boot CD anoy my HD [00:24] soundray: all the audio stuff I do is in C, and since getting into arduino I've been programming AVRs with avr-gcc [00:24] soundray: i seldom get help here, i think my problems are too hard or too badly explained :) [00:25] I modprobed iwl3945 and my wireless works perfectly now, will this still be effective next reboot? [00:25] soundray: this wee thing is shaping up quite nicely, and has the advantage of not having a lead to your USB ports in close proximity to 240V mains [00:26] Any good software for voice recognition in ubuntu? [00:26] zChris: it takes a few attempts sometimes. Leave 10 min+ in between repetitions and try different ways of wording your problem description [00:27] SeaPhor: Just did, there seem to be plenty of drivers for the device. Plus, Ubuntu does not seem to have problems recognising the card. It's getting Ubuntu to remember the settings and reconnect each time that is the issue... Do you think that's a driver problem? [00:27] <_Andrew> http://pastebin.com/d406c3bb <-- anyone know how I get this working? [00:27] Does modprobe keep effects for next reboot? [00:27] is it possible to run a windows application in ubuntu? [00:27] <_Andrew> I have installed SQLITE3 and the pkg-config file is there.. [00:28] Andres: Wine! [00:28] Stormcr0w, ahhh, lol, im in the same boat, see if my post will help you at all,,,http://www.wood-bee-co.com/woodbeeco/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=63 [00:28] ok [00:28] andres: which app? [00:28] WINE! [00:28] helix_ : yes, it should [00:28] zChris: if all else fails, report your problem in the forums [00:28] <_Andrew> andres, http://www.winehq.org [00:28] DaySleeper555, thanks! [00:28] thank u very much [00:28] helix_ reboot and try yourself [00:28] I installed gDesklets, started it, but i see nothing.. it doesnt seem to appear in the active proccesses. [00:29] yo folks [00:29] Stormcr0w, what encryption are you using and what card/chipset do you have? [00:29] hello all [00:29] when i add a package using synaptic, what controls whether or not it goes into my application menu [00:29] Do I need compiz to have gDesklets work ? [00:29] Hey all, I'm trying to diagnose my laptop's resume (from suspend-to-ram). Suspend-to-disk works fine. To ram, I get a blank screen. I can get my desktop back iff I do ctrl+alt+F1 then go back with ctrl+alt+F7. however: sound is down, network is down (eth1 doesn't even exist). Finally, the terminal at ctrl+alt+F1 just gives a blank (and, oddly, blue) screen [00:30] some things seem to but others dont [00:30] should add that, as usual, it suspends properly, it's the resume I'm having trouble with. [00:30] helix: no - but you need to install gdesklets-sata [00:30] *data === crd1b is now known as crdlb [00:30] SeaPhor: I've got a Dlink USB DWL-G122, C1 [00:31] <_Andrew> http://pastebin.com/d406c3bb <-- anyone know how I get this working? I have installed libsqlite3-dev and the pkg config file is there.. Why isn't it showing up? [00:31] Stormcr0w: does it work at all without encryption? [00:31] Stormcr0w, what encryption, wep, wpa, wpa2? [00:31] hey has anyone here got dualscreen working with a intel i810 ? [00:31] SeaPhor: WPA [00:32] Stormcr0w, same here [00:32] w00t Ubuntu is installing!!!! [00:32] gordonjcp: logging off now. Nice chatting to you, as always. Bye [00:32] soundray: ttyl [00:32] gordonjcp: I have not tried without encryption. It works fine when I manually configure the settings. It just bugs me that I have to do it every single time I log on to Ubuntu [00:32] Stormcr0w: the network manager doesn't store the settings? [00:32] I did save the profile, but no joy [00:32] i have a pavilion dv6162ea and i have a sound problem with it in hardy. there was no problem in gutsy. its a fresh install and not an upgrade. can anyone help me ? [00:32] Styles great :) [00:32] is it ok to re-distribute a .deb file created using checkinstall after compiling from source, or will it possibly not work in other computers? [00:33] Stormcr0w: is it set to roaming mode? [00:33] I can't get frostwire to run. It used to work. Now tells me "You need to upgrade to JRE 1.5.x or newer from http://www.java.com". I think I have 1.6 installed. [00:33] Stormcr0w, mine worked yesterday for about 2.5 hours, i fresh installed 8.04 again today and it worked for about 45 minutes, now its gone [00:33] How do I check? [00:33] Anyone know if Guild Wars runs on Ubuntu? [00:33] Through WINE? [00:33] DaySleeper555: Thanks [00:33] Can i share the boot files/grub between two ubuntu installiations [00:34] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, yes it does, very well [00:34] Its detecting hardware w0000t [00:34] Yay! [00:34] Linux_Is_For_Gan, it will on Cedega [00:34] Do I need to find the disk, or can I install from the GWEN disk? [00:34] or can I just find the files somehow? [00:34] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, download the setup.exe from the guildwars site then right click run with wine [00:34] gordonjcp: Nope. When I first log on, it looks as though I am connected. If I try to access the Internet, it times out. Then, I enter the settings, unlock, and set to roaming mode and click ok. Wait for it to confirm that no connection is available and then uncheck roaming mode again. [00:34] Stormcr0w: incidentally I've found WPA to be a total pain in the backside to get working, and just about as easy to crack as WEP unless you're using a proper full-on setup [00:34] Ok [00:34] Stormcr0w: if you're using WPA-PSK then you're stuffed [00:34] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, you need to install wine first [00:35] I have [00:35] anyone know how I check to see what jre is installed? [00:35] gordonjcp: WPA is the only entry in my router's menu [00:35] gordonjcp, i hope that is good for Stormcr0w , but not my router so i'm stuck [00:35] JuJuBee, java -version ? [00:35] <_Andrew> http://pastebin.com/d406c3bb <-- anyone know how I get this working? I have installed libsqlite3-dev and the pkg config file is there.. Why isn't it showing up? [00:35] gordonjcp: apart from the other ones of course [00:36] does ubuntu allow dual screen? [00:36] not cloned? [00:36] JuJuBee, or update-java-alternatives -l [00:36] So, if i compile a program from the source and create a .deb file with checkinstall, will it work in other computers (same platfrom, of course)? [00:36] fiyawerx : shows 1.4.2, but in adept shows 1.5 & 1.6 installed. [00:36] gordonjcp: so when I uncheck the roaming mode, my router is found in the dropdown list, I enter the password, set DHCP active and then it works perfect - even faster than windows [00:36] JuJuBee, did you try the second command there [00:36] and it stays that way throughout the session [00:37] anyone knows? [00:37] I love WINE. [00:37] when I log off and back on, same again [00:37] And I love Guild Wars. [00:37] rascal999: yes, of course [00:37] koro: if the systems are configured the same, it should, which is why its good to build the package on a vbox'd plain system [00:37] fiyawerx: [00:37] yes [00:37] Stormcr0w: if you check roaming mode, does it appear in the list when you click on the symbol in the top right? [00:37] fiyawerx: ok thanks [00:38] fiyawerx: java-1.5.0-sun [00:38] java-6-sun [00:38] java-gci [00:38] gordonjcp: What should appear? [00:38] a list of wireless networks [00:38] Can I share the boot files/grub between two Ubuntu installations? [00:39] how can i make my usb card reader not root its messing up the permitions when i add songs to my phone [00:39] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, did you get it working? [00:39] Which package should I install in order to get the development libraries/header/etc ? [00:39] Stormcr0w: I'm not on my laptop right now so I can't quote chapter and verse, but clicking on the little network symbol should bring up a list of networks [00:39] Ah! [00:39] Guild Wars is making a huge download. [00:39] leitao: build-essential [00:39] I already have it in windows, is there any way to use that? [00:39] Starnestommy: thanks [00:40] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, yup, stop the download and copy the files over [00:40] Okay. [00:40] Just copy program files? [00:40] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, no the guildwars folder [00:40] ? [00:40] Programfiles/guildwars? [00:40] gordonjcp: clicking on the little network symbol next to the sound control gives me two options: "wirde network" and "manual configuration". The former is greyed out. [00:41] can anyone tell me why the sound in one of my videos isnt working? I checked the properties and it's MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3 (MP3), and I can play mp3s just fine... [00:41] <_Andrew> Linux_Is_For_Gan, yeah, on windows go to c:/program files/guildwars and copy the files to ./wine/drive_c/program files/guildwars [00:41] Okay. [00:41] Thanks [00:41] JuJuBee, i think you can do update-java-alternatives -s to change the default [00:41] brb, gonna boot into windows [00:41] like update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [00:41] Hello, could someone please walk me through mounting a windows share? Thanks. [00:41] anybody? [00:41] gordonjcp: the list of networks appears as a drop-down within the manual configuration window. [00:42] fiaywerx : thanks, that worked [00:42] I can't install any firefox addons, and this is what the error log is telling me: Error: installLocation has no properties - Source File: file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js - Line: 7647 [00:43] can anyone tell me why the sound in one of my videos isnt working? I checked the properties and it's MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3 (MP3), and I can play mp3s just fine... [00:43] Stormcr0w: with Roaming mode on, it should appear when you click the network icon [00:43] what do i need to mount images (virtual drive) in ubuntu [00:43] ubuntu hardy keeps freezing wen watching youtube [00:43] let me try, although this will disconnect me temporarily [00:43] Chrysalis: CD images? [00:43] Chrysalis: it depends on the type of image [00:43] speak in a bit [00:43] also I just checked and it seems that sound in other videos that I've watched before has stopped working... could it have something to do with my recent update to 8.04? [00:43] !flash [00:43] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:43] cd images [00:43] Chrysalis: sudo mount -o loop filename.iso /path/to/mount/point [00:43] Chrysalis: if it's just an ISO, then "mount -o loop thing.iso /mount/point" ought to do it [00:43] Starnestommy: heh [00:44] can anyone tell me why the sound in one of my videos isnt working? I checked the properties and it's MPEG 1 Audio, Layer 3 (MP3), and I can play mp3s just fine... [00:44] also I just checked and it seems that sound in other videos that I've watched before has stopped working... could it have something to do with my recent update to 8.04? [00:44] ok, thanks you 2 [00:44] I'm trying to compile a program and it complains that it needs " libsnmp++", so how can I determine which libsnmp package that comes in? I have libsnmp-dev all ready installed. [00:44] hey guys - whats the driver i use for ATI video on my Dell notebook with an extra monitor attached?? [00:44] i'm partitoning my server (manually), how large should /boot, /tmp, /usr, /var, and / be? (/home is going to fully fill one drive, /boot, /tmp, and swap are going on a third drive, and everything else on the first) [00:45] i am having permission problems i can view my smb shares but no permisssion to write, i am using hardy heron [00:45] i'll be fine if someone points me to a guoide for determining these things. [00:45] gordonjcp: Ok, done it. The wireless network appeared on the dropdown [00:45] hi :) [00:46] Ashfire908: swap should in theory be twice as big as the amount of RAM you have [00:46] Ashfire908: someone in #ubuntu-server will know offhand [00:46] ere4si, ok [00:46] How do I know if something that I added to my /etc/modprobe.d directory is actually being used during start-up? [00:46] gordonjcp, the ram is 2304 MB. [00:46] Ashfire908: /tmp y you don't need to worry about, /boot should probably be about a gig [00:46] that's *way* overkill for /boot, but disk is cheap ;-) [00:47] which application can make a DVD menu on ubuntu ? [00:47] i think most make /boot around 100 mb [00:47] i usuaully use a gig just to be even [00:47] gordonjcp, not on this server really... it's only (from 2000). [00:47] A gig is way too much ! [00:47] Ashfire908: I have /boot set to 64M on this machine, but that's far too small [00:47] gordonjcp, the first disk is 18.2 GB, and the third is 9.1 GB [00:47] neyugn: Yeah I had that problem [00:47] Ashfire908: /boot needs to be very small about 20 MB will do the work [00:48] Lincooled: Try DVDstyler at sourceforge.net. [00:48] Hey whats the best music player? [00:48] It started with an "E" [00:48] I caqn't remeber the name [00:48] Cpudan80: do u still have that problem? [00:48] exaile? [00:48] SWN, thank's i'll try :) [00:48] exaile! Thx [00:48] haha [00:48] Styles: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:48] neyugn: are you automounting it on startup [00:48] ? [00:48] best is objective, but exaile starts with an e [00:48] Styles Amarok? [00:48] Cpudan80: no im not [00:48] How do I know if something that I added to my /etc/modprobe.d directory is actually being used during start-up? [00:48] neyugn: I fixed it - but I cant remember exactly what I did [00:48] neyugn: How are you accessing the share then? [00:48] I like amarok personally, but if you dont want all the libs installed exaile is a close second [00:48] and getting better [00:48] DaySleeper555: No I got it though thanks [00:49] gordonjcp, DaySleeper555: is it posible to share /boot between two instlations and if so how big should it be then? [00:49] Cpudan80: places->connect to server and i just type the ip addy [00:49] Styles: XMMS is also good [00:49] szx0 man modprobe is alot of help [00:49] neyugn: That's not the right way to access smb shares [00:50] Cpudan80: can u tell me how to access the rite way or link me to a guide [00:50] neyugn: open nautalius and type smb://SERVER_IP/SHARE_NAME in the address bar [00:50] ouellettesr, thanks for the clever advice [00:51] Ashfire908: If you want more systems installed you just edit one file and add couple of lines for booting that system [00:51] szx0, lol np [00:51] Cpudan80: ok i did that [00:51] will tiny proxy set up an economized proxy [00:51] Ashfire908: So it doesn't metter [00:51] neyugn: it should ask you for a username/password [00:51] magyar? [00:51] DaySleeper555, ok. [00:51] DaySleeper555, how big should the part be then? [00:51] Cpudan80: my smb does not have a user/pw on it [00:51] > I'm trying to compile a program and it complains that it needs " libsnmp++", so how can I determine which libsnmp package that comes in? I have libsnmp-dev all ready installed. [00:52] SWN: libsnmp != libsnmp++ [00:52] Cpudan80: im using a nexstar lx external drive only thing that has user and pw would be the ftp on it but other than that the smb is just only for my network [00:52] SWN: you're probably looking for something like libsnmp++-dev [00:53] hello everyone [00:53] gordonjcp: OK, I couldn't find it in the repos, so where might I get it? Any ideas? [00:53] Ashfire908: Set it to 50 megs just for case ;) [00:53] ok. [00:53] Cpudan80: i can view all the folders on it rite now but i cant copy stuff from it [00:53] what is a good lightweight desktop enviornment> [00:54] Tyler-J-B: xfce [00:54] hey Tyler-J-B [00:54] heya LF [00:54] neyugn: Then the share is setup wrong [00:54] any other desktop environments? I will give xfce a try [00:54] neyugn: You should configure it to need a user/pass [00:54] Tyler-J-B! [00:54] Tyler-J-B: I like fluxbox [00:55] All I will be using this machine for will be mame, so I needed something lightweight. :P [00:55] :D [00:55] holla [00:55] Cpudan80: the nexstar configuration screen doesnt have a option to setup a user/pass [00:56] Tyler-J-B: I use fluxbox on a dapper server - 32mb mem to paint the desktop [00:56] Good morning [00:56] ere4si, nice [00:56] this isn't really a problem, I was just wondering why it happened. When I press the trackpad on/off button on my compaq presario f572us it will normally turn off the trackpad, but when I turn it back on it brings up the help menu, like if I were to hit F1 [00:56] anyone have any ideas why? [00:56] hey has anyone here got dualscreen working with a intel i810 ? [00:57] neyugn: Does it work if connecting from windows? [00:57] SWN: it may not have a totally obvious name in the repo [00:58] gordonjcp: that's exactly my quandry--how do I figure out which package might contain it? Any easy way? [00:58] DaySleeper555, should i sent my swap to 2GB and have the rest of this part /tmp? [00:58] SWN: search for package names beginning with libsnmp? [00:59] Ashfire908: How much RAM do you have? [00:59] Ashfire908: swap should be 1.5-2x your ram. [00:59] hallo! do anyone know whats up with the isight-cam under hardy - whý isn't any workaround up!? [00:59] I have the feeling my sound is being played on Linux with a bad quality, if compared with windows. How can I fix this? [00:59] DaySleeper555, 2304MB i think [00:59] Ashex: 4gig swap is plenty [01:00] Ashfire908: You dont need more than 1GB for swap then [01:00] Ashfire908: 4gig swap is plenty [01:00] lol [01:00] DaySleeper555: but the installer will piss and moan if you don't give it at least 3gigs. [01:00] rodolfo: it depends on what the problem is [01:00] never had that issue [01:00] gordonjcp: Yes, but it doesn't tell me all the files/libs within each package--and there's no "libsnmp++-dev" package in the repos. [01:00] this is odd, in Ubuntu 7.04, its only showing the software I have installed. o-O [01:00] Ashex: use the alt. install cd.. [01:00] IndyGunFreak why? [01:01] DaySleeper555: i don't know, it just does.. [01:01] hi, I have a script that I wanna run on startup, where should I put it? [01:01] i've set my swap to 1gig on many occasions, and the installer cries about it.. so i just let the installer decide on swap [01:01] SWN: doing a search for "libsnmp++" doesn't return any package with "libsnmp++" in the package name at all [01:01] gordonjcp: I play the same sound on windows. but on winxp it has a better quality (HDA intel ALSA mixer) [01:02] rodolfo: I don't know what you mean by "better quality" [01:02] IndyGunFreak, DaySleeper555, so how big? 1 gig? [01:02] why doesnt this line work in fstab? /dev/sda6 /media/shared fat32 rw,user,uid=helix,gid=helix 0 0 [01:02] rodolfo: perhaps there's some EQ or something you need to turn on [01:02] Ashfire908: however big you want, but like i said, general rule, is 1.5-2x the amount of memory [01:02] gordonjcp: Exactly, so I have no idea where to get it. [01:02] Ashfire908: you dont really need a swap with 2g ram, unless you want to hibernate, which doesnt work that well anyway [01:02] SWN: well, what libsnmp*-dev packages *have* you got? [01:02] danbhfive: lol, now thats a wayto make an installer complain [01:03] 2xRAM is for older PC's that had no more than 512MB of RAM [01:03] does anybody know how to install qt 4.4 on ubuntu? [01:03] gordonjcp, try search for libsnmp* [01:03] SeaPhor: it's SWN that's having the problem ;-) [01:03] Hey all, I'm trying to diagnose my laptop's resume (from suspend-to-ram). Suspend-to-disk works fine. To ram, I get a blank screen. I can get my desktop back iff I do ctrl+alt+F1 then go back with ctrl+alt+F7. however: sound is down, network is down (eth1 doesn't even exist). Finally, the terminal at ctrl+alt+F1 just gives a blank (and, oddly, blue) screen. Any ideas what to do next? [01:03] He has 2 gigs of RAM [01:03] DaySleeper555: i said 1.5-2x.. pay attention.. if he only wants to make 2gigs, i don't care, he can make a 15gig swap if he wants [01:03] i'll do 1.5 [01:03] is ubuntu freezing a harddrive problem === lucian is now known as nickname [01:03] Hello. I have a partition that I recently created, intended to be my backup partition, but it won't let me move anything onto it, saying that I don't have permission. How do I give myself permission? [01:04] Flank: more likely to be heat or CPU [01:04] IndyGunFreak: I dunno about the installer, but I have 2g ram, and I have never used swap. It just never gets used. That 1.5x to 2x is an old Windows advice. I dont think it applies to linux [01:04] Flank: not that I know of, try searching your computer name, then ubuntu [01:04] Flank: or memory === lucian is now known as nickname [01:04] gordonjcp:how? [01:04] danbhfive: i've saw it recommended here on many, many occasions [01:04] anybody know how to install qt on ubuntu? [01:04] mine freezes when i watch flach [01:04] flash [01:04] rodolfo: Be sure to check out this thread on audio distortion in Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=753418 [01:05] why doesnt this line work in fstab? /dev/sda6 /media/shared fat32 rw,user,uid=helix,gid=helix 0 0 [01:05] gordonjcp: I've got libsnmp-dev and libsnmpkit-dev [01:05] gordonjcp, SWN: I will take a look at it.thank you [01:05] danbhive How big your swap partition is? [01:05] Cpudan80: still there? [01:06] Cpudan80: yes it works if i use windows to connect to it [01:06] helix_: that should be vfat not fat32 [01:06] Somebody can say which packages to me comes in the DVD of the Ubuntu? Or even though to indicate me some site where I can see the list of packages of the DVD.. [01:06] neyugn: Does it need any special software in windows?

[01:08] Cpudan80: nope [01:08] ok to just clarify i've typed the right thing: my sound card is a via 8233, so my sound driver thingy would be the alsa snd-via82xx, right? and then i typed "sudo modprope snd-[snd-via82xx]'? or "snd-via82xx" or "snd-[via82xx]"? [01:08] DaySleeper555: I have 2g ram, and a 2g swap, which has yet to be used. I never use more than 500mb of ram, expect when I watch a pirated movie :p but even then, swap is NEVER used. At least, not yet [01:08] ere4si, no [01:08] Tyler-J-B: openbox's default menu contains the default ubuntu apps menu... maybe try openbox? [01:09] Ashfire908: there set it to 1 gig [01:09] god knows why the 120k though - top shows a lot of ram is cached [01:09] Hi there...

[01:16] so iam not the olny one with that problem [01:16] is there a tool for managing a network of linux machines [01:16] Flank: Try sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:16] theres supposed to be fix on geek [01:16] Can anyone help me with GW? [01:16] Flank: flash works fine for me.

[01:17] Flank: be glad it will eventully be fixed, im running ubuntu on a ppc [01:17] anybody here has an idea how to solve this problem? Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; User unknown in virtual alias table [01:17] wine [01:17] Flank: Before you install it again, do sudo apt-get remove --purge libflashsupport [01:17] anyone have problem with wap password in the wireless network? [01:17] I can't pay for Cedega [01:17] Linux_Is_For_Gan, what vid card do you have? [01:17] DaySleeper555, i have 7 GB open on the third drive... [01:17] DaySleeper555: Ive heard that /tmp resides on ram. So, there is no need for a partition on the harddrive [01:17] Cpudan80: thnks ne ways ill keep searching [01:17] Um, IDK [01:17] But it works fine in Windows [01:18] I just updated to Hardy Heron and now Compiz makes all windows all white, have to kill it and run metacity. Can anyone help? [01:18] aguitel: other people have. what wireless card do have? [01:18] Linux_Is_For_Gan: well, its kind of ridiculous to expect another OS to run a game made for Windows, w/o hiccups [01:18] Well, it doesn't load [01:18] and I've heard people say it works find [01:18] danbhfive, /tmp resides on swap when you mount /tmp as tmpfs on swap [01:18] *fine [01:18] i swear, i'd love to be able to hit every single person with a brick who says, "It works fine in windows" [01:18] Simonft: chipset realtek rtl8180l [01:18] You asked what video card, so I wanted to clarify that it's not a hardware issue. [01:18] Simple. [01:19] Linux_Is_For_Gan: your a dolt, that doesn't mean its not a hardware issue [01:19] IndyGunFreak, my coh, splintercell, and wow work better in ubuntu than in windows [01:19] thanks [01:19] Whoa there. [01:19] IndyGunFreak, ;-) [01:19] :) [01:19] Ashfire908: is that a good thing? Am I correct that /tmp resides in ram? [01:19] Whenever I use an Advanced Desktop feature (Hardy, Nvidia FX 5500) it works once and then resets Visual Effect "Extra" to "None"? [01:19] WOW - ok i just figured my sound problem out - anyone in here that was in before? my speakers work when the MICROPHONE jack. i checked it 3 times, just to make sure [01:19] danbhfive: i didn't understand his reasoning either.. doesn't make sense.. so i just went silent..lol [01:20] where do i report the bug? [01:20] wait, what? [01:20] Even turn on Desktop Cube or Cube Rotate resets "Extras" to "None"?? [01:20] Is there good accounting software for linux? [01:20] Fezzler: do you know which drivers you are using? [01:20] windRider: there's a couple, gnucash is pretty good.. Grisbi is pretty good. [01:20] danbhfive, only if you mount it as i described. i don't know the + or - for that (though it's obivous everything in tmp will be lost if it shuts down [01:20] IndyGunFreak: lol [01:20] luser_: nvidia [01:20] Linux_Is_For_Gan, join me in #SeaPhor these things are off-topic [01:20] IndyGunFreak, thanks! [01:21] np. [01:21] luser_: I think nvidia-glx-new [01:21] aguitel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779574 ndisrapper is needeed [01:21] Fezzler: look in system -> administration -> hardware drivers [01:21] Okay [01:21] Ashfire908: Do you want /home or /usr on a separate partition? [01:21] aguitel: hmm i think that is the correct driver, you might want to double check [01:22] luser_: nvidia enabled in use [01:22] DaySleeper555: having /home on a separate partition is, IMHO, the most important [01:22] DaySleeper555, /home yes, i'm putting it all on drive 2. [01:22] Simonft: luser_ thankz [01:22] DaySleeper555, /usr sure. [01:22] SeaPhor? [01:23] Ashfire908: You have 7 GB left after defining /root ? [01:23] luser_: wobbly screen works good, just the cube function (I love) struggle. All work in Gutsy before Hardy upgrade [01:23] DaySleeper555, no swap and boot, on the third drive. [01:23] *no, swap and /boot, [01:23] Fezzler: sure, have you searched the forums? i think i saw something about this, my guess would be the driver but idk, does other 3d acceleration work ok? [01:23] I am having a problem, I am suppose to run $ configure and then $ make, but when I run it in terminal, it says command not found. [01:24] Ashfire908: Then you mount those 7 GB for /root, and forget about /tmp [01:24] Ashfire908: you are setting up your system in one of the weirdest ways iv'e ever seen..lol, god luck [01:24] luser_: I've search. Used Envy. Works. I can't figure it out. Give me another 3d acceleration to test. [01:24] IndyGunFreak, i'm sorta bored, lol [01:25] Ashfire908: i hope so...lol [01:25] DaySleeper555, so let /tmp fall on /? [01:25] Ashfire908: yes [01:25] DaySleeper555, why would i give /root it's own part? [01:25] lol @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247804 lmao [01:25] Ashfire908: I meant / [01:26] luser_: I would think a bunch of nvidia users with Hardy upgrades would be having this issue [01:26] DaySleeper555, uh, i'm putting / on my first drive. [01:26] Fezzler: using envy is unsupported, and if compiz is not working for you, then you are probably seeing the affects of that. Its my understanding that the driver-manager does additional setup to get compiz working, beyond just installing the driver [01:26] I am having a problem, I am suppose to run $ configure and then $ make, but when I run it in terminal, it says command not found. [01:26] Ashfire908: [01:26] ok so I just wanted to reinstall gnome-mime-data, shared-mime-info, and mime-support by doing apt-get autoremove gnome-mime-data shared-mime-info mime-support......... it started uninstalling ubuntu-desktop and all my programs (apache etc..), i canceled in the middle of the operation but im not sure that doing apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will reinstall all that has been uninstalled. How can i see what has been removed...? [01:26] Ashfire908, why not set 200mb for /boot, set swap to whatever - 1 gig? - and rest to /. Then set it up, have a play and see what the seperate usage is and if u need to partition do it on your own needs [01:26] darkcrab: it's just "./configure" and "make" [01:27] helix: why are you using autoremove? [01:27] morning fiyawerx [01:27] hallo meinelieben chatter [01:27] danbhfive: DIdn't work before Envy or after. I'll remove Envy if recommended, but that still didn't resolve [01:27] nxusr: Awesome. [01:27] ok, I HAVE A FIRST DRIVE WHICH IS BLANK. [01:27] is it possible to auto start xorg on ubuntu-server [01:27] helix: installing ubuntu-desktop will install everything that was installed by default [01:27] that is so funny [01:27] Fezzler: I would try the restricted drivers manager [01:27] can anyone tell me why vlc wont play the sound in my videos but mplayer will? [01:27] Is there a way to scan a file? [01:27] was schreibt ihr eine scheisse [01:27] nxusr: I just posted a comment. "Article is inaccurate. Why would anyone need to uninstall Linux and install Windows. Just seems backwards to me." [01:27] I am using Amarok with Gnome Desktop, I have a keyboard with multimedia keys but they don't work for Amarok. They work fine for Rhythmbox but not for Amarok. [01:27] black_13: if you install X, but X on a server is a bad idea [01:27] Ashfire908: So you set / /usr /boot and swap, you don't need more partitions, but if you want create /tmp how much you like [01:27] crdlb, i wanted to reinstall and install told me they were already to the newest version (ive been suggested doing that because i lost all of my default associations) [01:28] star the configure worked, but not ht emake [01:28] Fezzler: hmm i don't know if Envy includes any tests, try some game like Scorched 3D and see if the acceleration is working ok [01:28] pgib, they may delete it [01:28] crdlb, why would it be a bad idea? [01:28] darkcrab: what happened when you ran make? [01:28] helix: next time just remove :) or better yet use 'install --reinstall' [01:28] nxusr: they don't post comments [01:28] crdlb, so i'll have to then install AGAIN all the applications that are not here by default...? [01:28] nxusr: it is sent to MS assclowns [01:28] can anyone tell me why vlc wont play the sound in my videos but mplayer will? [01:28] crdlb oh so thats how you do it... [01:28] Hi [01:28] black_13: because servers are not desktops? [01:28] does anyone have no audio on Hardy? [01:29] crdlb, ugh i dont know whats wrong with me this WE... i just reinstalled my ubuntu and configured everything even made my wireless work perfect and now im screwing up again lol... [01:29] crdlb, this is just for experimentation [01:29] !sound | sktrdie [01:29] sktrdie: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[01:29] crdlb, is there a way to see all that has been uninstalled? [01:29] "no targets specified and no makefile found [01:29] helix: check for an apt or dpkg log file in /var/log and you may be able to see what was removed [01:29] Bidget: vlc often uses a different sound system than mplayer [01:29] crdlb, thanks [01:29] Guys? [01:29] How do I scan a file for viruses? [01:30] darkcrab: and what was the output of ./configure ? [01:30] Starnestommy, any way to configure it? [01:30] black_13: sure, it'll work but you might want to switch kernels if you want to use it as a desktop [01:30] Linux_Is_For_Gan: do you have clamav [01:30] !antivirus [01:30] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [01:30] crdlb, oh really why is that? [01:30] Linux_Is_For_Gan, there is only a handful of linux viruses, and none are in the wild.

[01:31] black_13: because the server kernel is optimized for a server (ie throughtput vs latency) and various desktop-related things are better tested with the generic kernel [01:31] Linux_Is_For_Gan, cedega is a derv of wine. it does windows games [01:31] crdlb, well nothings works... anything i click says that it has no associated program or destination.. [01:31] Ok [01:31] danbhfive: Do what with restricted drive manager? [01:31] but its also not freeware [01:31] Linux_Is_For_Gan: if you have clamav, "clamscan filename" or "clamscan -r folder" [01:31] I just wanted to make sure this file isn't a fake [01:31] how do I get clamav?

[01:48] i mean, .flv [01:48] sorry [01:48] reportingsjr: well, you can't sudo to apt-get, I gues you need to reinstall with a cd that has had the md5 check done [01:48] ere4si: Appartently I need to dl the iso, and THEN run wubi [01:48] Ashfire908: ok, sorry [01:48] totem can play flash with the ffmpeg plugin [01:48] *facepalm* [01:48] I swear, ubuntu and wifi connection == FAIL for me [01:48] ere4si: Thank you though :) [01:48] BaD_CrC .swf ? [01:48] Help! Heron won't mount a drive! ... Please? [01:48] same exact problem with 2 different wifi cards now [01:48] reportingsjr: I never use wubi - don't know it [01:48] N1N31NCHN41L5: actually, I think I was mistaken. What you already have should work [01:48] he left... [01:49] How to select the first Letter using Sed? [01:49] xomp: what problen, what cards? [01:49] can we get a name change for ubuntu? Maybe call it SPARTA since it's madness getting anything working with it? [01:49] Simonft, a Belking Wireless G wifi card [01:49] AntiClaus: what kind of drive is it not mounting? [01:49] AntiClaus, say help 1000 more times. it really helps (not.) [01:49] DaySleeper555: ahh, not sure about that. i always have epiphany-browser play saved .swf files [01:49] Fezzler: heh, I dont know that much. I just reported a bug concerning nvidia and desktop effects. The response back was what I told you, that if you want it to work, you have to use the restricted-drivers manager, and using envy, or even apt-get is unsupported [01:49] with ltsp what service handles verifying the password, my client is hanging at this stage, :( and I want to check its running [01:49] Ashfire: one never knows with this much scroll .. [01:50] Starnestommy: thanx [01:50] Simonft, it finds networks, but I can't connect to any network. I have an unprotected network and it just sits there with "Connecting to network 0%" and never obtains an IP. [01:50] hey sexkittens [01:50] xomp: ah, you have a broadcom [01:50] danbhfive: heh, heh. Thanks. Next time state the "I don't know much" fact first. Heh. Heh. [01:50] AntiClaus: You are so correct. [01:50] :( [01:51] xomp: wonderful, I have it and I hate it with a vengince. Ill get you a link though [01:51] Starny: It's a WD 250GB drive with one ext3 partition. The Herom LiveCD will mount it just fine, but the installed system won't. [01:51] Simonft, when I plugged it in, it downloaded some drivers I guess but said it wouldn't work without firmware, then I was prompted to download firmware and I guess it's installed now but am unsure. [01:51] AntiClaus: sata or ide? [01:51] Simonft, thanks [01:51] xomp: try this. sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [01:51] Starns: ide [01:51] !ati [01:51] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:51] Simonft, I think that's installed since it automagicall prompted me to download when I plugged it in. [01:51] Does anyone know how to get Combiz working in Hardy with the nvidia driver? It all worked in Gutsy. I miss my cool cube desktop switcher [01:52] Simonft, is there any way to tell if it has the firmware? heh [01:52] xomp: try anyway [01:52] Starns: I've tried mucking with fstab. [01:52] Simonft, k [01:52] Fezzler: did you get ENVying? [01:52] !tab | AntiClaus [01:52] AntiClaus: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [01:52] Xcell: Yup [01:52] fezzler: what does your appearance tab say? [01:52] just install the driver, and compiz is working by default [01:52] ubottu: Hey! that worked! Thank you. [01:53] Fezzler: I needed to install the video driver direct from nvidia website to a good display here. [01:53] what is exactly not working?, did you install config setings too? [01:53] AntiClaus: it's a bot [01:53] Simonft, it says fwcutter is already the newest version [01:53] ok, hold on [01:53] JoeBruin: You mean "None" vs "Extra"? [01:53] whats the problemill help [01:53] !forums [01:53] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [01:53] fezz: yeah does extra work [01:53] problem* [01:53] neil_d: That's it? [01:54] Fezzler: you probably want compizconfig-settings which lets you turn on all the other effects like cube [01:54] yep [01:54] xomp: 1. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 2. Change “blacklist bcm43xx” to “#blacklist bcm43xx” 3. Restart. You should get a restricted driver message. 4. Enable restricted driver 5. Restart and you are good to go [01:54] AntiClaus: is the drive listed by fdisk -l ? [01:54] bloody gnomes trying to make everything simple by removing all of the options [01:54] Fezzler: don't know, I was limited to vesa @ 800x600, never tried compiz (or whatever it is) [01:54] JoeBruin: No, it doesn't work. When I select Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube in Compiz, it disables "Extra" back to "None" (SuperKey M does same thing) [01:55] fezzler: then it is probably driver related [01:55] Simonft, thanks, had no idea it was blacklisted lol [01:55] zcat[1]: How do I do that [01:55] ere4si: : right now I'm on the LiveCD, which mounts the drive, so I can't check that. e2fsck says there [01:55] xomp: lol, if that works tell me, I did a few things to my computer at the same time and im not sure which one of them fixed it. [01:55] s no such ext2-3 device [01:56] JoeBruin: I've uninstalled and re-installed nvidia driver and tweaked xorg.conf. Can't solve [01:56] AntiClaus: try fdisk -l [01:56] you can try sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [01:56] Aloha :) [01:56] fezzler: and see if that helps [01:57] ere4si: nothing. Should I unmount the drive first? [01:57] fezzler: upgrading to hardy seems to remove that program [01:57] Hey does anyone else have problems with flash in firefox 3b5 (using latest LTS ubuntu release) ? Anybody know of a fix ? [01:58] Someone use GIMP? [01:58] there is no bitchx on hardy repo/ [01:58] when i click on the quit button my desktop freezes and i have to restart x to get out. any ideas? [01:58] Fezzler: the cube doesnt work for me either [01:58] AntiClaus: if it doesn't show in fdisk how did you mount it? [01:58] ahoy, it's no problem to reformat an external hdd to ie. ext3, right? [01:58] I don't know how to install more fonts in GIMP [01:58] ssugasti, I think there's a #gimp channel [01:59] ssugasti: http://www.gimp.org/unix/fonts.html google is you friend [01:59] ssugasti: download the font file and place it under ~/.gimp/fonts [01:59] ere4si: I don't know. Would you like a screenshot? [01:59] oh, thanks :) [01:59] look up gimpshop [01:59] thanks to everybody :) [01:59] Fezzler: o sh*t! I got it going! [01:59] AntiClaus: from the live cd? - from the install would be more useful [02:00] Simonft, I wasn't prompted about restricted anything after rebooting. That normal? [02:00] i have a computer that I installed ubuntu (now hardy) and it works great for the first 10 times you boot up [02:00] after the 10th or so time it, it just shows a black screen. [02:00] I get the cursor, but nothing else works. [02:00] anyone have an idea what i can try? [02:00] ere4si: OK. then I'll be back later .. [02:00] xomp: im not sure, follow the rest of the steps [02:00] Simonft, you never gave me the link heh [02:00] when i installed gutsy, it would freeze on the black screen [02:00] cursor wouldnt work [02:00] im sure that there is something that you are changing within those 10 boots that is messing it up... [02:01] i promise i am not [02:01] i just keep reboot [02:01] ign [02:01] and then after a while nothin [02:01] are you hard rebooting it repeatedly? [02:01] !enter [02:01] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:01] hey there when i go to coffee shops i am unable to connect to the internet with my Wifi card.... the nm-applet sais i am connected and i am getting packets sent and recieved but i cannot ping or open firefox, opera or IE to get on line [02:01] how can i make my usb card reader not root its messing up the permitions when i add songs to my phone [02:01] xomp: did not need one. [02:01] i have reinstalled 10x and it has always happened [02:01] i created a new panel but none of my windows are showing up in it, how can i change that? [02:01] JoeBruin: maybe try sudo touch /forcefsck ? [02:01] danbhfive: Cool. How? [02:01] xcell: what does that do? [02:01] xomp, oops, I forgot you loose what I told you before, hold on [02:02] danbhfive: I reinstalled compiz and still no go [02:02] Fezzler: well, I guess it was always working. I just had to turn on the controls for it [02:02] xcell i would do that from the recovery disk? [02:02] it is a disc checker and it loads the right stuff for it, it works for me [02:02] Simonft, heh to enable restricted driver? [02:02] xomp: 1. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist 2. Change “blacklist bcm43xx” to “#blacklist bcm43xx” 3. Restart. You should get a restricted driver message. 4. Enable restricted driver 5. Restart and you are good to go [02:02] no from terminal, then reboot [02:02] Fezzler: "rotate cube" [02:02] danbhfive: Yes [02:02] i created a new panel but none of my windows are showing up in it, how can i change that? [02:02] danbhfive: That's all you did [02:03] i don't have the original panel anymore [02:03] Simonft, I don't know how to enable restricted driver, I was never prompted to heh. When I go into Hardware Drivers nothing shows up when it did before I removed the blacklist. [02:03] Fezzler: lol, yeah [02:03] hey everyone [02:03] whats a good program to set up proxy setting? [02:03] danbhfive: And what key strokes gave you the cube [02:03] all i have to say first off, is great job with ubuntu . i run kde4 and i love it [02:03] xomp: really? put blacklist in a pastebin and let me see it. [02:04] Fezzler: just goes to show you, I dont know what I'm doing. Im using ctrl+alt+mouse [02:04] Simonft, ok, just a sec [02:04] if there is any ears here that deserve the praise === jared is now known as Rukus [02:04] Alinon: right click the panel and select add the add task manager [02:04] should be the initiate key [02:04] whats a good program to set up proxy setting? [02:04] keys* rather [02:04] ere4si: that option isn't listed [02:04] Alinon: right click, select "add to panel", select "window list", then click "add" [02:04] Alinon: *and add [02:04] it's no problem to reformat an external hdd to ie. ext3, right? [02:04] are hardy bug fixes being pushed out to repositories yet? === Rukus is now known as Rukusx7 [02:05] starestommy: awsome thank you [02:05] Simonft, http://pastebin.com/m156553a [02:05] thanks everyone ;) [02:05] filthpig: only prob would be that windows won't see it anymore. [02:05] filthpig: correct [02:05] I have a question : why the root account should not be enable ? [02:05] IndyGunFreak, who cares about windows? /me is ubuntu only ;) [02:05] in ubuntu desktop [02:05] is there a way to deactivate the history on totem? [02:05] !root | steph291 [02:05] steph291: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:05] filthpig: then format away, shouldn't be an issue.. all mine are ext3 [02:05] i just installed kubuntu on my HP pavillion laptop and not one problem yet! some minor quirks, but they will be worked out soon i hope. i love it! [02:05] steph, it is for security reasons [02:06] steph291: it is very insecure because root logins, unlike sudo, aren't logged, and it's easier to attack a root account that a regular user account that has suro rights [02:06] *sudo [02:06] pyrak: places/recent documents [02:06] whats a good program to set up proxy setting? [02:06] Rukusx7: like what minor issues? [02:06] danbhfive: Can you walk me through you nvidia settings? [02:06] xomp: that is strange, hold on, ill give you another link to try [02:06] IndyGunFreak, good stuff! /me starts formatting and jumps to bed [02:06] hey guys, I'm trying to debug a sound issue. Suspend/resume kills my sound. How do I restart it? I tried /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop/start/restart but it doesn't help. Any processes I should kill? [02:06] when i enable desktop effects in kde4 video flashes when playing. ATI card [02:06] whenever I try to start administration task, it asking me for a root pass ! [02:06] filthpig: have fun [02:07] fglrx driver [02:07] steph291: no, that is your "user's* pass [02:07] Xcell, where is that dir? [02:07] I lost my character coding for French (accents become "?"), how i reinstall it? [02:07] NOT the root password [02:07] Rukusx7: well, thats cuz ati sucks... but there's been some compiz issues in Hardy, i've heard of flashing w/ Nvidia also, but i'ev had no probs. [02:07] steph: thats normalits ur password [02:07] danbhfive: Still, when I enable Rotate Cube, it resets Visual Effects to NONE. If I reset Visual Effects to EXTRA, Rotate Cube is reset to Desktop Wall [02:07] who is going to attack root account, u all say you don't need antivirus on ubuntu? [02:07] normal* [02:07] I am behind MY rooter, in my network [02:07] I never looked, that just delets the history [02:07] IndyGunFreak, its not a big deal really. i'm just happy it works so good [02:07] DaySleeper555: you can't be serious [02:07] Fezzler: Are you using ccsm? [02:07] steph291: routers can still be cracked [02:08] can someone tell me how i can build 32 bit packages on a 64 bit host? [02:08] danbhfive: I don't know. what is ccsm? [02:08] xomp: http://penkin.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/ubuntu-804-broadcom-wireless/ you already did the first part, try the second. [02:08] danbhfive: viruses aren't the only way to take down an OS [02:08] er... [02:08] whoops [02:08] isn't there a hotkey combo to change vidmode in X? [02:08] well, that allows me to clear the history. but i'd still like to disable it all together [02:08] DaySleeper555: viruses are not the only way to take down an OS [02:08] duncanm: you'll need goat blood, some bat feces, and the hair of a monkey [02:08] anyone know how to disable the history on totem movie player? [02:08] I set the root pass anyway [02:08] Fezzler: its the advanced desktop effects manager [02:08] How do I restart my sound services? [02:08] it's a developpement station anyway [02:08] DaySleeper555: and linux is pretty much virus-proof [02:09] Simonft, ok, I'll look it over, thanks! [02:09] but its not dumbass proof [02:09] IndyGunFreak: nothing is [02:09] very true.. [02:09] danbhfive: Well, I have System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings. Is that what yuo mean? [02:09] pyrak: i think the history is stored in gconf [02:09] thats my point(with the whole root discussion) [02:09] Fezzler: yeah [02:09] XXX [02:09] Simonft, where is my firmware directory they speak of? lol [02:09] danbhfive: Then Yup [02:09] pyrak: I won't ask why you need to, just google totem clear history [02:09] IndyGunFreak, also it would be nicer if there was an easier way to enable TV out. i found a way ti force it, but it scrambles my screen, and luckily i have RandR tray open and that allows me to choose a new resolution thus fixing the problem and i now havea cloned screen [02:09] Fezzler: I have nothing selected in my preferences [02:10] xomp: /lib/firmware [02:10] danbhfive: The Hardy upgrade trashed my nvidia setup somehow [02:10] I lost my character coding for French (accents become "?"), how i reinstall it? [02:10] i understand how to _clear_ the history. i want totem to stop recording it all together [02:10] Simonft, thanks ;) [02:10] Rukusx7: it depends on the tv device.. hauppage seems the most stable under linux.. there's some other cards that work well. [02:10] Fezzler: why Im WAITING to upgrade to hardy still [02:10] danbhfive: I had Fiesty and Gusty singing. Hardy goofed me up [02:10] Fezzler: meh, this cube things makes me sea sick. Im turning it off! [02:11] IndyGunFreak, i dont follow. i just mean the TV out on my laptop [02:11] Fezzler: maybe try this....sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg................it will rewrite x for you [02:11] Xcell: Okay [02:11] What Nvidia drivers should I use with ubuntu? [02:11] does anyone know how to restrict the websites people can access? [02:11] Rukusx7: but it still has a chipset to it, and thats what determines how well it works under LInux... how its recognized, etc. [02:11] Fezzler: yeah, I had several bugs from upgrading to hardy. I did a clean install, which made things allot better [02:11] IndyGunFreak, i was thinking you mean like a DVB card or something. [02:11] pyrak: can you use vlc? [02:12] Can I install any of the options I get when I'm installing later AND (key part of the question) will it give me the same text interface and setup screens for those packages? [02:12] Styles: download ENVying from the repros and it will load the right nvidia driver for you [02:12] Styles: you'll need to use content filtering software like dansguardian [02:12] er... [02:12] Styles: whoops, disregard that [02:12] bloody b43 drivers.. bmc43xx was working for me .. now I have to go fix everything up again [02:12] Xcell: Well I have a driver now but apparently its bad or something. [02:12] will00: you'll need to use content filtering software like dansguardian [02:12] Rukusx7: no, open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes.. that will identify your cards chipset. [02:12] zcat[1]: I can help with that if you want [02:12] did you do it from envying? [02:12] ere4si: Pan here .. still nothing with fdisk, and the drive is nowhere to be found. [02:12] hey there when i go to coffee shops i am unable to connect to the internet with my Wifi card.... the nm-applet sais i am connected and i am getting packets sent and recieved but i cannot ping or open firefox, opera or IE to get on line [02:13] Simonft: I think I've got it, hang on, just rebooting [02:13] works fine at home [02:13] kwin just crashed [02:13] oh crap.. fsck as well... [02:13] zcat[1]: if you get it, tell me what did it. im helping somone else out right now [02:13] Rukusx7: well, just another reason i hate KDE..lol [02:13] out of curiousity, what would you set your swappiness to? i set mine to 10. i have 512 ram [02:13] Ecclesiastes: if it doesn't show in fdisk -l then you won't mount it - check the cables? [02:14] Rukusx7: 1GB [02:14] Simonft: i'm not sure what I did; I just cut the same firmware I used last time, but I can't recall where I got it from. That was my previous install 6mo ago [02:14] Rukusx7: 10gigs [02:14] ? [02:14] what [02:14] ere4si: Since the only thing I have done since it was last mounted was take out the LiveCD, I don't think the problem is a cable. [02:14] zcat[1]: when your done installing, could you talk to xomp? [02:14] I'm tottaly new to Ubuntu, having a hard time setting up my wireless connection. can anyone provide some good pointers? [02:14] Rukusx7: did you say you set swap to 10gigs? [02:15] noo [02:15] oh ok..lol [02:15] Simonft: and then move it to /lib/firmware .. which b43-fwcutter doesn't seem to do itself [02:15] Roket: what wireless device? [02:15] theres an option to change how much ubuntu uses the swap [02:15] realtek 8185 [02:15] not sure it's working yet, still waiting on the fsck [02:15] Ecclesiastes: it wasn't showing in the live cd you said [02:15] Simonft, ok, stuck on the last bit of this dudes instructions [02:15] Xcell: That did nothing [02:15] do you guys know any command line player for flash that saves the video from internet? [02:15] so it favors swap or ram first.... 0=ram 100=swap [02:15] zcat[1]: that's what he's trying right now [02:15] did you reboot? [02:15] Simonft, stuck specifically with this off the wall command "../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w “$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR” wl_apsta.o" [02:15] xomp: which part? [02:15] Xcell: no [02:16] well more like, so it favors ram over swap tho [02:16] Hi there, I need some ubuntu help - can anyone spare me what should be five minutes but is likely to take a few years? :) [02:16] Xcell: reboot [02:16] ere4si: Oh. No. It mounted just fine under the LiveCD. [02:16] reboot, then do it again, then come back [02:16] Roket: not real sure on the realtek devices, i know seveal of them are a pain [02:16] xomp: what don't you get? [02:16] tcleval: nope, but downloadhelper for firefox does a great job [02:16] Xcell: ok [02:16] Simonft, bash: ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter: No such file or directory [02:16] i hear ya, i've been busting my brain for days now [02:16] Ecclesiastes: if it doesn't show in fdisk -l I don't know what else to do [02:17] xomp: hold on, maybe zcat[1] can help [02:17] ere4si: Thanks for trying, really. [02:17] IndyGunFreak, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [02:17] :-) [02:17] Simonft, I'm sitting in xomp@medic:/lib/firmware/broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0$ right now [02:17] David_Linux: ask for concrete problem and somebody might help [02:17] xomp: copy and paste the command you put in [02:17] Ecclesiastes: you said it didn't show in fdisk on the live cd [02:17] also IndyGunFreak what am i looking for in lspci to find my tv out chipset? all i see is ATI [02:17] DaySleeper555: will do [02:17] Simonft: I'm not saying anything until I check that I can actually connect :) [02:17] how exactly do you run dansguardian?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [02:18] Simonft, ok, I put this in exactly (without the quotes) "../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w “/lib/firmware” wl_apsta.o" [02:18] xomo:can you giveme the link? [02:18] ok [02:18] ere4si: No it didn't. perhaps I used fdisk -l wrong? I didn't add the device mount point. [02:18] xomp: nm [02:18] Simonft: -w?!! nobody told me that option :) [02:18] Ecclesiastes: you just type fdisk -l that's all [02:19] ahhh, it's like having my DAD do the shopping!! [02:19] ere4si: Yep. That's what I did. [02:19] ahah [02:19] Ok, a bit more information: I'm having two ubuntu problems - one is small (needed to add a single command to run at startup), but the other being a major one: Gnome hangs after I log in (for any user), including failsafe mode (although a box appears explaining what failsafe mode is). It's a fresh install, except that I've installed kde so that I at least have something to use [02:19] Ecclesiastes: do it again and paste it pls [02:19] IndyGunFreak, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10128/ [02:20] xomp: cd broadcom-wl-4.80.53.0/kmod did you do that?

[02:20] !enter [02:20] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:20] Simonft, nope, I didn't see that on the site [02:20] ouch! [02:20] i honestly think Ubuntu could use some help for being user friendly for setting up right out of the box. but for an O/S thats always being developed on and fixed and looked after, and improved, i think it does ok. [02:20] Simonft, omg, it's right there lol sorry [02:20] xomp: its right above it [02:20] xomp: lol [02:21] Rukusx7: hmm, i don't see your tv device there.. weird [02:21] yah [02:21] how can i adjust password policy settings? [02:21] Rukusx7: but you have to understand, thats not an Ubuntu issue(or even a linux issue).. [02:21] like minimum length? [02:21] if i am in a pubic wifi spot how do i determine the search domain [02:21] Simonft, I'm an idiot lol, ok I'm in kmod now and the command no worky for me [02:21] is flash considered fixed or still broken in hardy? [02:21] nope... not even remotely working :( [02:21] IndyGunFreak, its more of an ATI not making good drivers issue [02:21] Ecclesiastes: try sudo fdisk -l [02:21] Rukusx7: if developers would either 1.. release linux drivers for their hardware, or 2. release the source code for those drivers to the community so they coudl be written, it wouldn't be an issue at all. [02:22] hey guys I changed the value of /etc/default/console-setup for the ttys to have only tty1-2 active, but all of them are backup after a reboot. any suggestion ? [02:22] well ATI does write drivers [02:22] just not good ones [02:22] yeah, they just suck. [02:22] if they'd release it to be written by community members, i bet there'd be a quality ATI driver in about 2 weeks. [02:22] don't tell me about ati [02:22] is it possible to mount a usb external hdd in Ubuntu? i think it is Fat32 or NTFS , some reason its not mounting, [02:22] IndyGunFreak, True-Dat! [02:22] is there a quick way to change video resolution? [02:22] haha yah man [02:22] hello, how do I enable Advanced compiz effects now since there is no "custom" under appearance anymore [02:22] Simonft, I think the command isn't working for me because I have no b43-fwcutter-011 directory [02:22] I had to reinstall system after their propietary drivers [02:22] i like ati, but havnig an ati problem in windows (drivers won't install) so i guess i'm stuck without gaming for a while, but it could be a windows problem, but that's not why i'm here. [02:23] i have 7.04 cd and it cant detect my video (pci-e) on bootup, how can i install via cli? [02:23] if you're gonna write a crapper driver, why bother, just give the source code to geeks who want to write a quailty one. [02:23] elcapitan: install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:23] xomp: zcat[1]: are you using sudo before? you could try that. [02:23] Simonft, yeah, I had to prefix every command that dude gives with sudo [02:23] i didnt feel like messing with ndiswrapper this time around so i just used the b43 proprietary for my wireless broadcom. seems to work fine so far. not half as flaky as the last bcm43xx [02:23] Simonft: yes .. (sudo -i 'cos the file is in /root/ from last time..) [02:23] ere4si: I get sda1, 2, and 5. That's weird because that's an ide drive [02:23] !alternate | maccam94 [02:23] maccam94: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD.

[02:24] Ecclesiastes: yeh - ide is called sd in ubuntu [02:24] xomp: zcat: try following the instructions from the beginning, maybe something in there effects it [02:24] maccam94: you may also want to consider downloading the current release, instead of one thats over a year old. [02:24] that's not me! [02:24] lol [02:24] Simonft, ok [02:24] I installed the latest version of wubi to test out ubuntu, however flash is running VERY slowly and not all flash elements work. Is this typical? Also i have to click on all flash elements in order to start them "playing" [02:24] ere4si: no its not... its called hd [02:24] i never had an sd device, until i had sata devices. [02:24] maheren [02:24] i hear you [02:24] IndyGunFreak: not on my five ide comps [02:24] elcapitan: go back into ccsm, unfotunately [02:25] I am having some serious flash problems [02:25] Simonft, I see what it is, it's wanting you to "make" fwcutter first but I already have it installed in b43 [02:25] ere4si: weird, all of my pcs, hard drives are hda, hdb, etc. [02:25] Simonft, so I should be able to switch the directory its wanting and it will work [02:25] is it possible to mount a usb external hdd in Ubuntu? i think it is Fat32 or NTFS , some reason its not mounting, [02:25] how can i adjust password policy settings, such as minimum length? [02:25] IndyGunFreak: all of mine are sd [02:25] maheren, chaberi doesn't work anymore (we might have to revert to old version) [02:25] Kohlrak, is it just wubi? [02:25] ere4si: are you using sata hard drives? [02:25] LF i mount an ntfs external USB on a regular basis. ubuntu should have ntfs-3g installed from the get go, so all you should need to do is choose a mount folder and do the command. in my case it was: 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /storage' and voila mounted in the folder /storage located in root dir [02:25] ere4si: are you running Hardy? [02:26] i'm testing the nonfree flash and i can't get some flash sites working [02:26] IndyGunFreak: I own nothing sata [02:26] odd.

[02:27] I accidentally Ctrl+Alt+Esc and then click over my KDE bar, what process do I launch to bring it back? [02:27] zcat[1]: you see my last link? [02:27] hello, does anyone know if metacity has a full-screen color invert feature when used in compositing mode? [02:27] well, meheren, we may have to downgrade our flash version and hope the sites we like don't mind an old version of flash [02:27] looking at it [02:27] I downloaded a library that needs to be compiled with C++ it looks like. How do I do it? With gcc I would assume? If so what would the command be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) [02:28] Sparky_The_Lobst, try looking here and search (CTRL+F) for ISO http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [02:28] Meheren, do you want the link if i find it?

I tried a different dvd and it worked fine [02:29] IndyGunFreak, yeah, i saw it a few times, i just mounted it and all was good [02:29] hmm [02:29] they work fine, they just don't work with sites that constantly update their flash [02:29] to get wireless working, i downloaded b43-fwcutter_011-1_amd64.deb from the ubuntu.org packages website and then ' sudo dpkg -i b43-fwcutter_011-1_amd64.deb ' [02:29] it was automated [02:29] Simonft, what is that? [02:30] Rukusx7: are you running hardy? [02:30] ya [02:30] DaySleeper555: Yes, but the library I'm trying to install, libsnmp++ does not exist in the repos. I'm stuck with compiling it unless you know where I can get it. [02:30] Hi guys [02:30] indy gun, im running 8.04 will it still work? [02:30] Rukusx7: shoulda downloaded 32bit.. i believe hardy works out of the box w/ broadcom now. [02:30] Can I connect for filesharing with a windows machine with an ethernet cable?

Also, when it does boot ur it's only a very basic command line [03:04] I'm looking for a good website tutorial about ubuntu [03:05] Already hit the howtos - I'm pretty certain it's the hardware. [03:05] Xcell: is it some kind of "deep" install? [03:05] word [03:05] harris google ubuntu howto [03:05] not really, its doing the right thing, once its done do a reboot k?

And if I have to reinstall the whole thing, I just load the boot disk and click on install and let it install it? or are there other procedures I have to do to get kubuntu back on my deskto [04:19] chris[]: one moment [04:19] Alright. [04:19] mandy: if you boot off of the CD, you can mount the hard drive, and get your files off of the hard drive if they're still there [04:20] sweet! I hope they are, and how do I do that? [04:20] mandy: then you'll have to install ubuntu from scratch to clean up whatever mess is on your hard drive at the moment :-) [04:20] like before it went to my desktop, I had a few options one of which were start or install ubuntu. Oh so I really do have to install ubuntu from scratch then? [04:20] chris[]: Do: ./configure --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=hda-intel ; make [04:20] chris[], what are you working on? I see you're not getting answered [04:20] chris[], oh, nevermind if that worked [04:20] yes, that's the best idea, but you can get any data off before you do ti [04:21] hey all, is there any specific reason I cant add extensions to Firefox 2? [04:21] oh how do I get data off of it? [04:21] joetheodd: we're not yet sure if this would work [04:21] Does compiz work with Hardy and nvidia?

[04:23] babolat: Nothing. [04:23] babolat: Same errors. [04:23] Babolat: yes. I accidentally installed Hardy when it was not fully finished and now the only way I have been told is to reinstall the whole thing. So there is no way to get all my files back? And if I have to reinstall the whole thing, I just load the boot disk and click on install and let it install it? or are there other procedures I have to do to get kubuntu back on my desktop? Blu3Knight: and no I have no usb disk. I think I might have a [04:23] Fezzler: yeap [04:23] Fezzler: you might want to check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia for specific instructions for your card [04:23] chris[]: wtf [04:23] CYREX: How? [04:24] Fezzler: But try to use the nvidia-glx-new if you have new gforce cards, like 5900 and up [04:24] chris[]: what error do u get? [04:24] From what? [04:24] Fezzler: see the link I posted [04:24] @babolat [04:24] mandy, yes, you can, you need to do what I said. Boot from the Ubuntu CD, then mount your hard drive and copy your data off onto the internet or a USB key or something. [04:24] Fezzler: Install first the nvidia package, what video card do you have? [04:24] chris[]: ? [04:24] mandy, if you've already got it booted, I can help you get the drive mounted and copy stuff off, but stop asking the same question :-) [04:25] anyone have a site that has some extra repositories for herin? [04:25] xP sorry. Just had this problem for months. that would be amazing chrismur1 [04:25] babolat: aplay -l: aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found...

[04:26] chris[]: forgot to tell u u need to cd to it before that previous command [04:26] mandy - easy to copy the stuff but you need to copy the files to something [04:26] babolat: I knew that. :P [04:26] chris[]: so u did cd, right? [04:26] babolat: I extracted it to /downloads/ then cd'd to alsa-driver-hg20080502 [04:26] Can I edit my partitions through CLI without a live CD? [04:27] cd to it first then do: ./configure --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes --with-cards=hda-intel ; make [04:27] Did that, then make install [04:28] @babolat [04:28] Fezzler, do you have a System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings menu? [04:29] okay I have an empty storage disk I can use chirsmurf. would that work okay to put the recovered data on it to restore my comp? [04:29] babolat, just thought it might be a good idea to paste this error to you as well: It's from System->Preferences->Sound->ALSA->Test; gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing. [04:29] chris[]: the ./configure and make commands weren't done in one line, right? [04:29] Need help with WineHQ, can anyone help? [04:29] No, babolat. [04:29] BRB [04:29] configure, then I waited, then make, then I waited, then make install [04:30] Wow, its really quiet in here, usually its overpopulated and hard to get an idea of whats going on [04:30] Hello can i get some help [04:31] haha. true. i usually go to other rooms for help now that 8.04 is released.

[04:51] Mandy, lol I thought you had created them. Well, good luck. If you have an email account with a high capacity, remember you can email files to yourself to back them up. [04:51] umer: your graphics driver is buggy [04:52] then maybe you can explain why the website he just gave me has a driver for netgear linksys and dlink [04:52] Flip2045: NO! you need the drivers for your wireless card [04:52] <_dennister> i'm trying to go back to gutsy on this graphics workstation here, had a 300G hdd seem to fail on me...got it and all data off with the freezer trick...but even that's being very problematic...

[04:56] umer johanbr: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [04:56] My tablet computer relies on the stylus device for input.

But the older Fujitsu C-500 doesn't use Wacom. :S [04:56] Starnestommy: 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, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.. [04:56] randal: now "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" [04:56] johanbr: that is really wierd, it worked fine with gutsy [04:56] FujitsuTablet: what does it use? [04:56] Please help! :( [04:56] I'm not sure. [04:57] FujitsuTablet: how old is it? [04:57] OK, I found what appears to be a solution to my problem. [04:57] does anyone know how to add zend studio into Eclipse?

[05:01] Starnestommy: full code plz [05:01] h00k, That works, but doesn't help. I can shut that down and bring it back up, but I still don't get sound [05:01] randal: that is the full code [05:01] lmosher: gotcha. hm. [05:01] ok [05:02] it does nothing [05:02] chris[] u in here yet? [05:02] randal: now run virtualbox [05:02] k [05:02] farool: what do you mean by manually [05:02] i need help witth ssh [05:02] babolat: Now aplay -l works, but I get a different error from alsamixer. [05:02] it ssays my host key is screwed [05:02] babolat: snd_mixer_set_callback() [05:02] No mixer elems found [05:02] how do i fix it so that i can ssh into my box? [05:02] this ssh key thing sux [05:03] BIOSboiler__: delete ~/.ssh/known_hosts [05:03] chris[]: is that all u get, or should u pastebin it? [05:03] Bradipo: I try running the installer but it keeps stalling. I've reburned the Live CD thrice to make sure it wasn't the CD corrupted. I manually partitioned the hard drive with gpart, I've tried everything. [05:03] if you didn't have a key ssh would be pointless [05:03] That's all, pretty much [05:03] Bradipo: So I think I'll resort to the command prompt, if there's a way to do it like that. [05:04] Starnestommy: i went to make new mechine and i got to deleate the vitural hard drive instead of romeing it i unrgesterd it now i cant find where to delete it [05:04] chris[]: are u now able to play sounds? [05:04] h00k, Yeah :/ Basically I'm losing my sound after I resume from suspending to ram. I'm attempting to just figure out a way to shut it down and bring it back up, but so far no luck. I've tested that on a fresh boot, stopping and starting ALSA will shut off/turn on the sound, but it doesn't ressurrect the sound after a suspend [05:04] babolat: I've been able to play sounds. [05:04] farool: instead of burning the cd over and over, you should just select "verify cd" before running the installer [05:04] you fuckers call this support iv been siting here for an hour still have nothing [05:04] Bradipo: I've done that.

[05:10] babolat: What am I looking for? [05:10] farool: I hate to sound picky, but are you sure that the install really hangs, and is not just working slower than you would expect it to?

[05:13] babolat: ? [05:14] chris[]: that error comes out because you *are* using that sigmatel fix.. darn [05:14] farool: OR you could choose "server install" among the options of the live cd you've already got, and after installing, you would run apt-get to install x-window-system and the desktop manager you wish to use [05:14] My system runs fine until something tries to perform disk reads or writes, at which point all of my apps become totally unresponsive.

[05:20] fonts and buttons are over sized and runs off the screen vertically [05:20] chris{} fire up a terminal pls [05:20] Bradipo: i've searched the forums, but not for my specific card [05:20] chris[] fire up a terminal pls [05:20] babolat: Done. [05:20] any idea what I can edit to fix it; no other graphics issues [05:20] h00k: smartctl says it’s fine. [05:21] now apt-get alsa-base [05:21] It's already the latest version. [05:21] thanks [05:21] trevheg, if you open a terminal and type lspci you should find out which card you have. I am sorry, but knowing which hardware you have is a *necessary* condition to solve a problem [05:22] chris[]: oh right.. install alsa-utils from synaptic instead [05:22] I know how a failing disk behaves and how it screws a system up — this isn’t that. [05:22] kimbrel: I really am not sure what to tell you... [05:22] Hey folks, need some help. I have GRUB installed on the MBR of my XP hard drive. It stopped working and i need to re-set it up. I would like to install the grub to my ubuntu drive at IDE(1,0). I am currently booted into a live session of ubuntu. Any thoughts? [05:22] babolat: It's already installed [05:22] Starnestommy: ok now i have a problem i have a upgradable thing for vista so i have to install xp first so should i make the vitrual mechine for xp or vista [05:22] chris[]: ok..... another moment [05:23] Starnestommy: you there [05:23] what terminal command can I run to find out if I have DDR or DDR2 RAM installed? [05:23] chris[]: are u able to run alsaconf? [05:23] hey, i want to use ndiswrapper and would like to know where i find the .inf file? [05:23] randal: Try /sbin/grub-install /dev/sdb or /dev/hdb? [05:23] h00k: OK :\ [05:24] AnswerGuy: why? [05:24] jughead-> dont know if this will tell you... dmicode [05:24] answerGuy: was that directed to me? [05:24] babolat: Yes [05:24] kimbrel: I'm gonna think about it though, and let you know if I can think of anything [05:24] ikonia_ [05:24] sup [05:24] bradipo: I think it's an Atheros AR2413 [05:24] chris[]: did it spit out anything? [05:24] h00k: Any ideas how to get in contact with the people responsible for the kernel packages? This really smells like a scheduler bug to me. [05:24] When I first ran it? [05:24] jughead rather its dmidecode [05:25] chris[]: no. this time [05:25] yes, in Round Rock actually [05:25] kunzy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [05:25] modinfo: could not find module snd [05:25] then it goes into the config. [05:25] jughead anything? [05:25] kimbrel: anything on bugs.launchpad.net? [05:26] chris[]: then make the changes in the config that u think is necessary [05:26] How can I install an older kernel, specifically 2.6.24-11? [05:26] Everytime I check "3D Windows" in the Settings Manager, it stays that way for a second or two and then unchecks itself. [05:26] babolat: like what =/ [05:26] patifa: Thanks for the link, i will give it a go. Assume no news is good news. Thanks. [05:26] On a side note, has anyone succcessfully tri-booted XP, Vista, and Ubuntu. And with what boot loader [05:26] jughead did it spit out what you seek? [05:26] chris[]: not really sure. had i known, we could have done this like 15 mins ago.. sorry man [05:27] Following card(s) are found on your system: hda-intel (the nVidia), legacy probe-legacy isa (non-pNp) chips [05:27] Last time I went with the nvidia, should I try the pnp this time just to see if it'll work? [05:27] trevheg, have a look at -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/177859 [05:27] Launchpad bug 177859 in linux-meta "Atheros AR2413 Wireless not working with linux-rt update" [Undecided,New] [05:27] chris[]: yep [05:28] babolat: Still nothing :( [05:28] chris[]: turn it back then [05:28] amenado, I think so... It says DDR but it's 533MHz which is low for DDR (purchased laptop in 2k6) [05:28] babolat: back to the nvidia? done. [05:29] Can someone recommend a movie file (avi, etc.) splitter/joiner, like HJSplit, please? [05:29] My numpad doesn't work in X. [05:29] It worked fine under 7.10 [05:29] h00k: Are you on 8.04? [05:29] and it works fine at the commandline [05:29] I just tried to put my desktop computer into hibernation by pressing the [05:29] half moon key as I would have done in XP. All seemed well, as the [05:29] computer shut itself down in a matter of 10-15 seconds. [05:29] Then, I tried to restart it by hitting the power button, like I would [05:29] have done in XP. Well, the system churned away and churned away. The [05:29] gregbrady: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:29] cursor would respond erratically. Finally a password window came up and [05:29] chris[]: i officially ran out of ideas [05:29] if some has an answer can you /msg me; RL distractions (dont want to miss it in the scroll) thanks [05:29] bradipo: this doesn't show a solution [05:30] Well, babolat, if we can't do this.. [05:30] chris[]: go ask around as there may be others who know [05:30] Any idea how I could maybe fix the problem with my headphone jack? When I plug headphones in, the onboard speakers remain on. It's extremely annoying. [05:30] Even if I could just disable the onboard speakers every time I wanted to use headphones, that'd be fine. [05:31] trevheg, before looking for a solution we have to identify the problem [05:31] and that might not be yours, since you say that you wireless card works with 7.10 [05:31] kimbrel: yeah,I am [05:31] Hi. [05:31] Does anyone in here have a CReative Zen? [05:32] Can you see if you can reproduce the problem I’m having? Do something like $(dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=512 count=1000000) and see if your other apps hang. [05:32] How can I install an older kernel, specifically 2.6.24-11? [05:32] chris[]: what tabs do you have in the volume control? [05:32] secret [05:33] hi lmosher, did you try lunchpad? [05:33] Playback, that's all... :( [05:33] hey, i want to use ndiswrapper and would like to know where i find the .inf file? [05:33] hello all! [05:33] is there a way to manually increase the speed of the fan on nvidia 8800gt card ? [05:33] kimbrel io interrupt causes your system to freeze? [05:33] Jefo: you find it with the installer for the Windows driver [05:34] Jefo: just take the installer and open it with a program called cabextract [05:34] amenado: the system as a whole is okay, it’s just that any other app that does IO while that’s running hangs [05:34] amenado: particularly firefox. [05:34] orudie: nvidia control panel should give some cluse [05:34] kimbrel it happens, i have observed it since 6.10 [05:34] ravi, i dont have a cd, i have to download it...but how do i know which chipset i have? [05:34] are ntfs partitions writeable in ubuntu 8.04 if I mount them from the command line? [05:34] orudie: clues* [05:35] ravi, i checked there, cnat find anything [05:35] Jefo: google your laptop model [05:35] ravi, are you talking about nvidia-settings ? [05:35] Nutzebahn, I don't, but I know there are programs to use it on ubuntu, I checked when I was wondering if I would buy one [05:35] I tried to hibernate my desktop by hitting the half moon key, as I would in XP, and all went well. It shut off. Now, upon a power up, my system just accessed the hard drive like crazy for 15 minutes before I finally shut it down. Any ideas of what is wrong? [05:35] amenado: I’ve never seen this before. And it’s really, really bad. To the point of my system being unusable while apt runs updates or, god forbid, trackerd decides to index. [05:35] hi all is there a comparable package in Gnome for KPPP? I bought this stupid internet card from the store and it says to use KPPP but in Gnome this package doesn't exist and if I don't have it I can't get on line to get it? any help? [05:35] orudie: yep, but I think there is a flag you need to turn on in the GUI to show more advanced settings [05:35] gregbrady: what version are you on? [05:35] kimbrel, 8.04 [05:36] gregbrady: huh. Hardware configuration? [05:36] kimbrel-> i associate it to any i/o interrupts that is not being serviced right [05:36] chris[]: post #7 here -->http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/speakers-and-headphone-both-play-together-592807/ [05:36] !ntfs | Sake [05:36] Sake: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE [05:36] dnd: did you try searching "ppp" in synaptic? [05:36] ravi, would you please tell me? i cant find i t [05:36] amenado: Well that’s obvious. Is there a /fix/? [05:36] BTW.. The package should ultimately be installed by default.. with Gnome.. or again I can't get online... [05:36] orudie: yep... looking === chris[] is now known as ChrisT[] [05:36] i think i got a little too drunk at my friends wedding. [05:36] does gparted livecd do backup too? [05:36] oh man. [05:36] kimbrel-> not that am aware of yet, actually i have not been looking for a fix.. [05:36] chrisT[]: post #7 here -->http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/speakers-and-headphone-both-play-together-592807/ [05:37] kimbrel, HP a1211n desktop. AMD 3500+ processor. what more? [05:37] amenado: well, that sucks. Because this is a pretty damn broken behavior in the IO scheduler if you ask me. === ChrisT[] is now known as chris[] [05:37] Bradipo: Yep, found several packages.. including some wvdialer.. but that refuses to work for me complains it can't find my modem... [05:37] gregbrady: graphics, WLAN, northbridge chipsets [05:37] how do i mount an .img file in wine? [05:37] heck, just pastebin your lspci [05:37] my compiz effects died when i upgraded to hardy. [05:37] This modem has to be setup in a very specific way.. I can get it installed and running just don't have any dialer software that I can find. [05:37] nm tried deleting the .wine directory then relaunching it; that fixed it [05:37] kimbrel i could not disagree more..i happen to observe it more with wireless..when it switches to a diff AP...i guess in roaming mode [05:38] babolat: All I have is 'Volume' under preferences. [05:38] should i start by aptitude reinstalling the compiz packages? which ones? [05:38] pyrak: did it keep your graphics driver? [05:38] dnd: typp ppp in a terminal and hit the tab key [05:38] and wiped out all other settings, but tis ok; will rebuild them (had to be something in wine's registry) [05:38] chrisT[]: darn [05:38] if it switched you to one of the open-source drivers, you probably don’t have 3D support. [05:38] chris[]: darn [05:38] kimbrel, ATI X200, wired ethernet [05:38] fxjr, I'm looking now, but I'm having a heck of a time searching and getting it to actually give me results. Which packages do I need? [05:38] kimbrel, i dunno. it broke my wifi firmware, so it may well have broken my graphics too [05:38] Is there a way to make it so resizing windows doesn't require such exact precision with the mouse pointer? It seems like there's ONE pixel to find in order to resize diagonally. [05:38] my laptop's fan cannot keep up with the CPU when the laptop's running at full speed. Can I tell powersave to throttle down the CPU if it gets too hot? [05:38] is that some kind of ncurses baised thing? [05:38] pyrak: $(glxinfo | grep render) [05:39] babolat: sorry about the nick switch, was getting a cloak [05:39] orudie: hey, looks like there's a package called nvclock which helps maintain GPU fan speeds in percentages [05:39] ere4si: What exactly will that do for me? [05:39] lmosher, you will need the package which says kernel-2.6.24-11-image [05:39] ravi, thanx [05:39] gregbrady: huh. are you on the latest revision of fglrx? [05:39] kimbrel, ? [05:39] ravi, let me install it and see [05:39] dnd: it is a command complete thing - will find commands starting with ppp [05:39] pyrak: run “glxinfo | grep render” in a shell [05:39] kimbrel, as current as supplied by Ubuntu. [05:39] lmosher, I think you would need to check with synaptics what packages you have installed [05:39] Hi guys,i had install the mplayer from repo,and i had puted codecs file named all-20071007 into the /usr/lib/codecs,however i still can't see the rmvb files.i can hear the sounds,but can't see the video.why?there was not any problems last time in ,however i dont know why i can't success this time . [05:40] kimbrel, output: [05:40] and in lunchpad, you could get them manually. [05:40] direct rendering: Yes [05:40] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20060602 AGP 8x x86/MMX/SSE2 NO-TCL [05:40] gregbrady: anything on launchpad? [05:40] I don't know if there is an automatic way of doing this. Sorry :( [05:40] fxjr, ok, I'll try to find those. Not terribly familiar w/ the launchpad site. [05:40] ere4si: I'm not sure I follow you.. Like I said I can get the modem setup and listed as on the system.. but without a dialer front end to make the connection I"m sunk? [05:40] I see. [05:40] kimbrel, I'm really concerned over what my hard drive was working so hard at for 15 minutes! [05:40] i googled my laptop model, but no information... [05:40] lmosher, let me give you some pointers... [05:40] let me find them here.... [05:40] dnd: try it type ppp and hit tab [05:40] gregbrady: got no idea. did you suspend to RAM or to disk? [05:41] ere4si: and the direction hand out from the store on how to install in Ubuntu wants me to download KPPP ?????? a KDE component.. but without an active connect I can't get on? [05:41] I'm installed right now in a different Linux.. it's the only way I can get on lline. [05:41] Jefo: laptop brand name and model number? [05:41] kimbrel, see the output from the command you told me to run? [05:41] chris[]: what happens is that headphones and speaker play at the same time, or that only speakers? i mean when the headphones are in [05:41] kimbrel, that is a good question. I just hit the half moon key. I did manage to get a password login box to come up, but it took forever for it to respond to what I typed in. [05:41] babolat: Both. [05:41] ravi, is nvclock text based or gui also ? [05:41] er [05:41] pyrak: yeah, and I don’t know if that means you have the ATI drivers loaded or not [05:41] uhh [05:41] david_-_-: mount image first, then use wine in that dir: mkdir /media/something; mount -o loop something.img /media/something [05:42] lmosher, you start here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [05:42] !skype [05:42] chris[]: crude, but may be worth a try.. *mute* the darn speakers lol [05:42] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [05:42] orudie: there is a gui but I think fan settings are done through the command line [05:42] yes, but the websites only say "wireless card" - but not which chipset [05:42] anyone used gimpshop? [05:42] thanks l8r :) [05:42] ere4si: will that let me dial up? ??? I just need to know what it will do since if I reinstall ubuntu I'm sunk without being able to make a connection? [05:42] Bradipo: What are those programs? [05:42] babolat: My laptop does not have a volume wheel of any sort on it. [05:42] orudie: check with the gui too: it's nvclock-gtk [05:42] So I have no idea how i'd do that [05:42] pyrak: can you look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and search it for a line pertaining to the fglrx module? [05:42] dnd: if the modem really is installed, it should appear in network manager [05:42] !ubotu unrar [05:42] Factoid ubotu unrar not found [05:42] I installed it according to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=239277&highlight=gimpshop+.deb&page=1 but I cant find it anywhere [05:42] !ubotu rar [05:42] Factoid ubotu rar not found [05:42] bradipo: i'm not sure what you want me to do [05:42] !rar [05:43] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [05:43] chris[]: then bring down the slide from Volume Control, if u say all u have is volume [05:43] babolat: Tried that, everything was muted [05:43] Bradipo: Sorry I'm not following how that will help me to "Dial up" [05:43] dnd: also, you could download and save the kppp package to a mass storage device, and install it from there [05:43] ravi, nvclock-gtk returns bad command [05:43] so I guess ntfs write support still isn't recommended? [05:43] xet7: the game is Deus Ex. my friend was over the otherday and i made an iso img. copy of it. [05:43] kimbrel, does this help with my machine description? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/prodinfoCategory?lc=en&cc=hk&dlc=en&product=1148036&lang=en [05:43] orudie: did you sudo it? [05:43] I have a question about Grub. I installed unbuntu and now whenever my system boots it says "GRUB" across the entire screen and keeps printing it over and over.... [05:43] ravi, command not found [05:43] orudie: you have to install the nvclock-gtk package [05:43] dnd: again - that will list commands on your comp you can use [05:43] Nutzebahn, go to ubuntu forums, type creative zen in the search field, hit enter, and you'll surely find out [05:43] needs like 12 deps? how do I find them? and get them all installed at the same time without being in dep hell? where do I put them where the package cache? [05:43] orudie: nvclock alone gives you the command-line version [05:44] is anyone else experiencing random X crashes after an upgrade to hardy? (using xserver-xorg-video-intel with the default xorg.conf) [05:44] anyone know how to compile ATI driver on 2.6.25 kernel on hardy? [05:44] Nutzebahn, otherwise, open synaptic and do a search from there [05:44] ravi, just installed nvclock-gtk, same thing command not found [05:44] chris[]: does the headphones mute the speakers in other OS? [05:45] babolat: yup [05:45] orudie: try looking in synaptics for nvclock [05:45] dnd: in gnome network manager you can also set dialing options, HOWEVER I'd really recommend doing the command line thing somebody suggested to you [05:45] orudie: there seems to be an in-depth guide on how to setup a working fan control system (automated and manual) here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=315430&highlight=fan+speed [05:45] hey all [05:46] who wants to have a passionate long talk about why my audgiy 1 sound card not working? [05:46] errr I tried to ugprade to hardy and my video is now completely screwed [05:46] anyone got any docs on how to fix this [05:46] orudie: it suggests you remove both nvclock and nvclock-gtk before you proceed (as the first step) and helps you compile it from the latest source [05:46] ravi: orudie is running a different OS now, using the command-line thing will be a colossal pain === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [05:46] david_-_-: hmm iso? mkdir /media/virtualcd; mount -o loop something.iso /media/virtualcd [05:46] it point blank refuses to actually load and run the nvidia drivers [05:46] trevheg, I don't want you to do anything. I'm just trying to help you define the problem you need to solve [05:46] peridot: what? [05:46] I have a question about Grub. I installed unbuntu and now whenever my system boots it says "GRUB" across the entire screen and keeps printing it over and over.... I tried re-installing with no effect. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do? I had to boot to the live image. I am not very familiar with linux. [05:47] Bradipo: ok, one more question where is the package cache? [05:47] fxjr, I can find files for the current version, but not the old one :( I did find linux-image-2.6.24-11-generic_2.6.24-11.17_i386.deb, but I can'd find the matching linux-ubuntu-modules :( I can onlhy find 1=6 [05:47] trevheg, for example, has your wireless EVER worked from an installed ubuntu, or only from live cds? [05:47] reconfig /boot/grub [05:47] xet7: funny thing its not rly an iso its img but ok i will mess with those you gave me thanks. [05:47] located so I know where to put KPPP and it's associated deps? [05:47] peridot, so whats the best way to adjust the gpu fan speed ? [05:47] ravi: orudie is not able to reach the internet with eir ubuntu machine, so is chatting with us from another one; e would have to reboot, type ppp, and reboot again to tell us it didn't do anything useful [05:47] is there a way to remote control windows XP without graphical interface? [05:47] david_-_-: ok :) [05:47] uh [05:47] can someone tell me how to remove the grub loader? [05:47] how do I change the volume of my dvd drive? In windows it plays louder, but in linux sometimes it is too quiet. Unless the problem is the headphone jack volume? Changing the CD setting in volume control seems to have no effect [05:47] the internet atthe other end is too slow [05:47] cuonglb, I took at look at it and it "seems" correct. [05:47] I got my nicks all messed up, I htink [05:47] peridot: ah.. ok [05:48] peridot, what ? [05:48] david_-_-, what do you want instead of the grub loader? [05:48] dnd: the important thing is that you just get them all, there is a graphical installer in gnome (Gdebi) that you can use from nautilus [05:48] Bradipo: yes, it has worked for over a year, ever since 6.06 Dapper. Just since I upgraded to 8.06 has it not worked [05:48] peridot, i am on my ubuntu machine [05:48] lmosher, this is really strange... [05:48] kelvin911, you mean from one terminal prompt to another? [05:48] I also can't find it :( [05:48] dnd: Gdebi won't let you mess it up [05:48] something like that [05:48] chris[]: oh i give up [05:48] like telnet [05:49] babolat: Okay, thanks anyway. [05:49] something like that [05:49] anyone installed gimpshop in here? I cant find it after I installed it [05:49] orudie, yeah, sorry, I was addressing somebody else's problem [05:49] kelvin911, use telnet or ssh. [05:49] Meshezabeel: i was duel booting with xp and hardy and then i converted the xp to hardy as well and the grub luader is still there i just want to when i boot up it goes to the log in screen. [05:49] trevheg, did you move from 6.06 to 8.04, or did you also install any of the 7.x? [05:49] scunizi: how? [05:49] Bradipo: ok I understand that but after I get them downloaded and put on my flash how do I get them into the new Ubuntu install? [05:49] scunizi: do i need to install anything on that end? [05:49] bradipo: I've done everything in between [05:50] Bradipo: Remembering that till I get KPP up and going.. I have no internet. [05:50] i am using hardy, and the computer i control is XP [05:50] bradipo: I just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.06 [05:50] lmosher, I think I found it! [05:50] dnd: you log in your ubuntu install, and with nautilus navigate to the folder where you saved them [05:50] hello guys, anyone whos expert here in wine, need a help [05:50] kelvin911, that I don't have the answer to.. as for the window side.. yea probably. but my knowledge of this is VERY limited.. just generic stuff [05:50] I've created /home on a separate encrypted partition using the alternate installer. Everything was going find until I booted up today. For some reason dm-mod, dm-crypt, sha256 and aes modules were not longer loading at boot. As well, /dev/mapper wasn't being created. I fixed these by adding the modules to /etc/modules. Now those load fine and /dev/mapper is created, but cryptdisks isn't loading and prompting me for the passphrase at [05:50] boot. I can run this manually after boot just fine. What calls cryptdisks at boot? [05:50] gaintsura: try looking for it in System > Preferences > Main Menu and look for it under Graphics [05:50] trevheg: is it worth a try (bancking up and) replacing your xorg.conf with the default (nearly empty) one? [05:50] i am controlling now, with tightVNC installed in XP [05:50] lmosher, check it out: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory [05:50] ravi: its not in either [05:50] kimbrel, maybe I can catch you on another time? [05:50] gaintsura: sometimes it just doesn't show up correctly, try unchecking and rechecking the icon in the configg screen [05:50] but it is so damn slow [05:50] Bradipo: so It will find all the dep's as long as they are all in the same folder? [05:50] gaintsura: ok [05:51] yeah, possibly. Sorry, real life beckoned. [05:51] config screen..? [05:51] I installed manually via debian package [05:51] gaintsura: the main menu config screen [05:51] gaintsura: in System > Prefs > Main Menu [05:51] ahh got it [05:51] lmosher, from there you get this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.24-11.17/+build/527730 [05:51] trevheg: for probs with 8.06 join #ubuntu+1 this is for gutsy and hardy 7.10 and 8.4 no 8.6 sorry [05:51] kimbrel, understood, thanks for your interest in helping me! [05:51] dnd: it won't let you install a library if you miss the dependencies, so in the worst case you will be forced to install each package in the proper order [05:51] which seems to have all the 24-11 builds you may need. :) [05:51] ravi, orudie@Ubuntu8:~/games/quake2$ sudo nvclock-gtk [05:52] fxjr, Cool! ty [05:52] ravi, command not found [05:52] david_-_-, I would set the grub menu to hidden (so you have to press escape to access it) and set the time to 1 second. [05:52] 8.06 ? new beta? [05:52] I have updates issues [05:52] dnd: by trial and error, you know... :) [05:52] zelrikriando, join the club [05:52] ravi: 'Could not apply changes. Fix broken packages first.' [05:52] orudie: did you look in synaptic manager for nvclock? [05:52] Bradipo: ok well wish me Luck I'm off :) [05:52] orudie: oh.. the package name is nvclock-gtk but the actual command is nvclock_gtk [05:52] david_-_-, that way you can still get in if you have problems [05:52] I have a warning triangle instead of the regular update thingy [05:53] orudie: horrible on part of the maintainers [05:53] dnd: good luck! [05:53] that tells me basically it s failing at connecting [05:53] Meshezabeel: how do i di that? [05:53] Meshezabeel: forgive the spelling please. [05:53] /proc/sys/kernel/domainname contains only one entry: "(none)". But /etc/samba/smb.conf includes the line 'workgroup=MSHOME'. Why does this not reflect in /proc/sys/kernel/domainname? [05:54] fxjr, Can't seem to find the .deb though? :/ [05:54] david_-_-, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file, you might want to back it up first [05:54] david_-_-, thats where i installed it from [05:54] ravi, tried nvclock_gtk and wouldnt start , returns errors [05:55] david_-_-, you'll see an option called timeout, I think default is 10, you could probably set it to 0, but I'd recommend setting it to at least 1. [05:55] lmosher, should be those resulting binaries links. [05:55] ravi: It sas it couldnt install the package, there was an error... something about a broken package [05:55] orudie: if you could follow that guide and install nvclock from source so that the latest nvidia cards are covered, I'd suggest that route [05:55] lmosher, but I also don't find the ubuntu-modules you were looking for :( [05:55] david_-_-, there is also an option probably commented out called hiddenmenu, just uncomment that line [05:55] Anyone else out there with experience with hibernation issues? [05:55] gaintsura: when? [05:55] justn ow [05:55] gaintsura: when you do what? [05:55] just now* [05:55] ravi, but that tutorial is from 2006 [05:55] fxjr, Yeah / [05:55] gregbrady: for one, you need a swap file as big as your ram to hibernate [05:55] when I check Gimp in add/remove packages [05:55] orudie: but the source that you grab will be current [05:56] gregbrady, not me, but I did see a bear the other day [05:56] orudie: since you're grabbing it from a CVS repo [05:56] Meshezabeel, awesome [05:56] gaintsura: how did you install gimpshop? [05:56] patifa, swap file is much bigger than ram [05:56] yeah :) [05:56] peridot: What do you mean? [05:57] sudo dpkg -i [05:57] I keep getting a segmentation fault whenever I start firefox-3.0 [05:57] gaintsura: any errors on installation? [05:57] none [05:57] [Auto message: I'm away] [05:57] in gparted, can i make a NTF part.? [05:57] gaintsura: I recommend you type sudo apt-get install -f [05:57] *ntfs [05:57] ravi, ok i thought whatever is in sudo-apt get install is current [05:57] install -f? [05:57] ravi, heh [05:57] billy12 :yes [05:57] Meshezabeel: i see at the top menu.list - see: grub (8) , info grub, [05:57] orudie: not as current as building from source [05:58] trevheg, hardy's X servers are much smarter about figuring things out, so that most people don't need to have any settings in their /etc/X11/xorg.conf files [05:58] Hi [05:58] orudie: just give it a whirl and let me know what happens [05:58] zvacet, the NTFS option is blocked [05:58] david_-_-, any line that has a # in front is a comment, the computer ignores these, just keep them there [05:58] billy12 : download gparted live CD [05:58] Is there a channel for space/astrophysics? [05:58] trevheg: but if you (like me) upgraded one step at a time from 6.06, your xorg.conf will contain all sorts of stuff, some of which may not be a good idea anymore [05:58] ravi: [05:59] gaintsura: [05:59] fxjr, Sorry, had to reboot. Dont suppose you found anything? I still haven't [05:59] Reading state information... Done | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

[06:00] david_-_-, also look for the line that says #hiddenmenu, take out the # at the start of the line so the computer doesn't ignore this line [06:00] Braydon619: what's the matter? [06:00] gaintsura: try typing gimp from command line [06:00] 'Could not apply changes. Fix broken packages first' [06:00] i'm having a problem, the only thing that with play sound is my rhytmbox player... after i use that i cannot get sound off anything like firefox and aMSN without restarting [06:00] gimp starts [06:00] lmosher, Great! I'm glad we can find it! good luck! [06:00] youtube or nothing with play sound after i've used it [06:01] Meshezabeel: how do i replace the copy if it all messes up? [06:01] wtf? [06:01] but I thought it was supposed to look/feel more like photoshop [06:01] h00k [06:01] Braydon619, you may be having problems with pulseaudio [06:01] david_-_-, how did you make a copy? [06:01] gaintsura: please remove gimpshop, with dpkg -r gimpshop [06:01] Flip2405: yeah [06:01] fxjr, Yeah, hopefully this kernel will fix some of the issues. 2.6.24-16 won't boot, but 2.6.20 has some bugs that affect me :( [06:01] Do you need any restricted drivers? [06:01] fxjr how do i fix that? [06:01] billy12 : is it grayed or locked? [06:01] on amsn on sound preferences, change aplay to paplay [06:01] gaintsura: then try putting in the main menu object and tell me what happens [06:01] yes [06:01] and you will get sound from amsn. [06:01] *blame it on the restricted drivers* [06:01] peridot: I already went back to my old xorg.conf file from a few months ago after the upgrade because my screen resolution wasn't working, so I'm using the file from before my upgrade [06:01] david_-_-, as long as you don't set the timeout to 0, you can still edit the menu [06:02] Meshezabeel: i havent yet [06:02] lmosher, :( It's sad -26 isn't working for you [06:02] Anyone know how I could make an fstab line to mount my cd drive to either /media/cdrom0 OR /home/user/yayda [06:02] Yay, GW will work!

[06:03] gaintsura: holy crud, you may have a screwed up gimp now [06:03] i'm using firefox 3 beta 5 and i'm using adobe i think [06:03] gaintsura: sudo apt-get remove gimp [06:03] O.o [06:03] Braydon619, ok.

[06:08] Hello. how do i actualy connect to the internet via wireless. I try to search networks, but it doesn't find any. or i might be doing something wrong, can somebody assist me. [06:08] ravi, i think i'm missing some packages [06:08] billy12 : to change partition format partition must be unmounted.thaqt is why gparted live is good option.that way all your partitions are umounted and you can choose which one you want to reformat [06:08] ravi, let me show you my output [06:08] I've created /home on a separate encrypted partition using the alternate installer. Everything was going find until I booted up today. For some reason dm-mod, dm-crypt, sha256 and aes modules were not longer loading at boot. As well, /dev/mapper wasn't being created. I fixed these by adding the modules to /etc/modules. Now those load fine and /dev/mapper is created, but cryptdisks isn't loading and prompting me for the passphrase at [06:08] boot. I can run this manually after boot just fine. What calls cryptdisks at boot and where might I find out why it's not starting? Neither /var/log/message, syslog, udev or dmesg see, to have anything. [06:08] ok i got aMSN sounds :D.... firefox is playing sounds now... i had something else going... but both won't play at same time... is it supposed to be like that? [06:08] orudie: oh... use http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:08] i installed ndiswrapper and found the .inf file, it says something like "hardware recognized"...how do i get wireless internet now? [06:08] Meshezabeel: dont tell me how to replace it let me ask u if this is how it is done [06:09] david_-_-, ok [06:09] Jefo: network manager? [06:09] Meshezabeel: i type mv menu.bak to menu,lst? [06:09] i dont see a wireless there [06:09] I know I'm going to get killed for this, but it is not my purpose to annoy anyone...I think that the applications are the major problem with the os's out there. I find Linux just as buggy as XP when it comes to running virtual machines and anything else that pushes the limits. [06:09] Jefo: do you see an option to enable with right click? [06:10] no [06:10] david_-_-, yes, don't forget sudo, and I would use cp instead of mv so you will still have a backup copy for later [06:10] ravi, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10154/ [06:10] ravi: worked! THANKS [06:10] is there a 'absolute beginner' room for a question? [06:10] bazhang: can you help me? [06:10] Jefo : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:10] this is pretty much it. [06:10] gaintsura: sure thing [06:10] Meshezabeel: ah ok so then do sudo cp menu.bak to menu.lst ? [06:11] Millertime_018: what is up? [06:11] is there a way to have both rhytmbox and firefox play sounds without having to close rhytmbox? [06:11] Braydon619: did you read that link? [06:11] orudie: go ahead and run the next step apt-get install -f [06:11] k - quick question ...I'm trying to install Konversation ..tried with synaptic manager, tried with add/remove and tried with sudo apt-get ..all give me error, can't connect [06:11] sorry, orudie I mean sudo make install [06:11] trevheg: try using a new file (the servers have changed after all); I used dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg-video-intel and it produced a file that worked without any of my customizations [06:11] bazhang: my kernel wont load, i have the new ubuntu cd (8.04) but it stops at 3 percent [06:11] david_-_-, and if you still have problems where you mess up the partitions at the very bottom and can't get in, there is an option on the grub menu to let you change it, but you can just boot from a live cd and come back and ask if you can't figure it out [06:11] orudie: if you get valid output for the first command nvclock -i [06:11] ravi, so what sould i do now [06:12] david_-_-, yes, so "sudo cp menu.bak menu.lst" [06:12] orudie: do you have valid output for nvclock -i? [06:12] ravi, nope [06:12] it says it's for firefox crashing? [06:12] who was run Ubuntu-Mobi in Ultra Mobi PC ? [06:12] Millertime_018: you checked the md5sum on the iso and checked cd integrity both? [06:12] Braydon619, there's a bug in the adobe's flashplayer that causes it to crash firefox if it uses mixing [06:12] Meshezabeel: so i do not put *to* ? [06:12] NetTroller : is your connection O.K. [06:12] orudie: same error? === mikeyc is now known as UAV [06:12] orudie: your make output seemed fine [06:12] david_-_-, sudo is needed because you don't have standard user permission to write to the /boot/grub directory [06:12] Meshezabeel: yea i would more or less load live cd [06:12] ravi, yes same [06:12] <_net> Can anyone help me for a second. I've installed Windows XP while having Ubuntu 8.04. Grub doesn't appear anymore; Can anyone give me direction to how to get grub again? [06:12] david_-_-, no, you do not put a 'to [06:12] Braydon619: didnt read it? [06:12] orudie: just go ahead and run "sudo make install" [06:12] bazhang: i've had it installed just exactly the same way before, but i had to reinstall both of these operating systems (when i deleted them i just delted the partitions they were on) [06:13] david_-_-, did you put a 'to' when you made the first copy? [06:13] <_net> I have live CD, i can put it in but I forgot the terminal commands to make grub from the bootmenu appear [06:13] bazhang: i've even reburned the disc from another download.

[06:14] Braydon619, you can install libflashsupport if you want, sound mixing will then work (after a firefox restart), but there's a good chance you'll experience crashes once in a while [06:14] Jefo: what's the name of the driver as shown in the ndiswrapper command line? [06:14] Meshezabeel: fyi i did not google up how to do that i was taking a guess.

[06:19] Meshezabeel: i changed the time out to a 1 then the last #hideout i took off the # [06:19] Millertime_018: kernel stops at 3 percent? is the loading kernel message-->where does it say 3 percent exactly [06:19] orudie: is it just too loud or what? [06:19] ravi, nvidia 8800 gt [06:19] Anyone here good with VMware? [06:19] ravi, no it overheats [06:19] zvacet seems to be working...maybe Canada is shut for the night :) [06:19] !anyone | kimbrel [06:19] kimbrel: 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? [06:19] david_-_-, by adding the hiddenmenu option, the computer will display a message that says "Press Esc to enter grub menu" or something like that, look for it when it boots up [06:19] bazhang: yea its the loading kernel message [06:19] ravi, i have to increase the fan speed [06:19] D’oh. Thanks a lot. [06:19] david_-_-, good, you are ready to go, reboot and see what happens [06:19] orudie: ok.. hold on [06:20] Okay, how do I get VMware to let my guest OS see my USB drive? [06:20] Meshezabeel: and jfx i am rebooting to see wht happens i be back in a min or in a while lol [06:20] I#m dl-ing something with ff right now, have to do this later ravi, btw i have an amd64 [06:20] Jefo: oh... that makes a big difference [06:21] Jefo: did you download windows x64 drivers? [06:21] my compiz funsion working on ATI radeon mobi 7500 (IBM T42), but rendering fail with 1400x1200 resolution ! [06:21] errm..is it just me or have gedesklets been mis-comunicating with gnome? it seems to be treating them as regular windows on the desktop[so they show up in my window selector list] i temporarily remedied it by using the compiz widget layer but a more permanant solution/workaround/fix would be nice[im using hardy, would have seen this sooner but just getting around to rebuilding my interface to how i like it] [06:21] :D [06:22] cuonglb: see http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/Hardware/ATI . Create the /etc/drirc as described at the bottom [06:22] i choose the one on my computer, but i have a 64bit vista [06:22] orudie: dude, which nvidia drivers do you have right now? [06:22] nice got it [06:22] orudie: did you try getting them installed through envy? [06:22] Meshezabeel: it worked [06:22] oh and my thanks to the awesome people who made ktorrent and amarok[transission wont encrypt my traffic and rhythmbox likes opening itself while im player a movie, or a full screen video game like saurbraten] [06:23] NetTroller :good [06:23] crdlb : thanks [06:23] david_-_-, cool :) [06:23] bazhang: hello? [06:23] Millertime_018: sounds like a bad burn to be honest [06:23] orudie: sometimes envy carries the latest and greatest and is able to cool things down because of it. [06:23] david_-_-, is it how you want it? [06:23] !envy | orudie [06:23] bluefoxx,: I seem to remember desklets (or maybe it was screenlets) having an option you had to set in them to make them mark themselves as widgets [06:23] orudie: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [06:23] Meshezabeel: its better then waiting 10 seconds or having to hit enter. [06:23] Millertime_018: I have had plenty of those; extra drink coasters around now :) [06:23] two extremely kick @$$ KDE native programs[that work OK in gnome, though amarok refused to see my e270] [06:23] bazhang: well i left it there when i went to eat at a restaruant and it sat there trying to load for like... 3 hours [06:23] I have 7.10 and would like to upgrade to 8.04, I have a headless server, is the command " sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", and reboot all thats needed to upgrade? [06:24] patifa: ok, thanks. ill look for that :) [06:24] ravi, i installed the restricted driver when ubuntu prompt for it right after i installed it [06:24] oorochi: Use update-manager(-core) [06:24] fxjr: nite new friend and i will remember your name. [06:24] Jefo: so can you give me the output to "sudo ndiswrapper -l" in paste.ubuntu.com or what? [06:24] can someone give me output for grub`s menu.lst? [06:24] bye all, restart X now :D [06:24] Millertime_018: I have to step away for a few; try burning at the very lowest speed possible-->will be back in 10 mins or so [06:24] i dont want to interupt my download [06:24] orudie: I recommend you try installing envy (sudo apt-get install envy*) and running it using Applications > System Tools >EnvyNG [06:25] david_-_-, yup, you could always set timeout to 0 if that is better for you, but if you have any problems you will need to boot from a cd and try to fix it from there [06:25] I'm on vista ravi [06:25] orudie: just install the latest automatic NVIDIA drivers and report back [06:25] would i use update-manager(-core) even if i dont have a gui? [06:25] Meshezabeel: thank you [06:25] ravi, ok but should i uninstall whatever dirver i have now ? === danny is now known as dannyobrien [06:25] Jefo: oh...

[06:33] SliderMan, not sure, I remember I had a similar error once and it was because I got my swapspace and hdd space mixed up, but I'm not sure what else the problem would be, check the cd for defects or your hard drive itself, also try deleting the partition and retry and see if it stops in the same spot., other than that I'm not sure what else [06:33] yay, fixed my video problems in hardy [06:33] ravi, the first thing i tried is google maps, still choppy [06:33] SliderMan, where would you like me to post it [06:33] what a pita [06:33] patbam: yuck [06:33] ravi, that really bothers me [06:33] ravi: yeah, weird [06:34] meshezabeel, hmm someone i can get it with wget.

I want to setup a server for my network which will solely serve the purpose to act as a Ubuntu Package Repo server. I want to know which is the best way to achieve it? apt-cacher or apt-mirror? [06:52] ribbitsss: did you check your restricted drivers manager? [06:52] orudie: ok, good. [06:52] ravi, so i guess with this option i cant use desktop cube ? [06:52] yeah [06:52] orudie: I wouldn't know, never tried it. [06:52] orudie: not that rich :) [06:52] imyousuf: Just use one of the official mirrors [06:53] ribbitsss: nothing there? [06:53] ribbitsss : maybe you will get faster help here http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328 [06:53] levander: official mirrors means the repo's installed when installing ubuntu?

Integrity check shows no errors, 3rd burn I've tried, drive works fine. Please help. [06:54] levander: we have a shortage of BW so I would like to save as much BW as possible [06:54] ravi, would you know why the google maps in firefox are really choppy [06:54] ravi, ? [06:54] imyousuf: The Canonical mirrors are installed by the installation process. You can change it to a mirror closer to you if you want. [06:54] i dont want to install it i just want to run it off the livecd [06:54] ribbitsss: if you have a core 2 duo you probably need to install the drivers as described in that link [06:54] ravi, is there another browser that i can try ? [06:54] orudie: hmm.. how is other stuff like Youtube?' [06:54] orudie: you can try epiphany-browser [06:54] imyousuf: I might try squid which would cache all your web access. [06:54] hmm [06:55] ravi, haven't tried youtube yet === bil9002 is now known as bill9000 [06:55] orudie: epiphany generally works faster for me [06:55] imyousuf: I bet squid caches packages updates too, but they are all http URL's in sources.list. [06:55] levander: whats wrong with apt-cacher or apt-mirror? [06:55] Prez00 : try in synaptic check all updates or choose source ffrom which you want to install [06:55] ribbitsss: well, you can't if you don't install the drivers. You can create a small partition and install it there [06:55] imyousuf: It just sounds like a lot of work for little gain. [06:55] I see [06:55] i dont have a hd on this computer :( [06:55] but in my case it will be a huge gain :) [06:55] ribbitsss: a macbook without a hd? [06:55] imyousuf: squid is a more general purpose cacher than just setting up your own apt repository. [06:56] is there a way to modify a livecd [06:56] ravi, so is it apt-get install ? [06:56] ribbitsss: you can use a pendrive [06:56] orudie: epiphany-browser [06:56] Prez00 : it shouldn´t download that much since iso is rrepository now [06:56] yeah the hd broke and im still trying to get a new one but i'd like use it for internet [06:56] ribbitsss: you should still be able to install stuff off the live cd [06:56] imyousuf: If you're going to do all that work, I'd at least look into it and see if squid will cache apt accesses for you very well. [06:56] levander: Yeah, I know what squid is, in fact I use Varnish, but setting a repo would be more necessity for me === bill9000 is now known as help [06:56] ribbitsss: as long as you have enough ram (I hope you at least have that :P) [06:57] i have 2gb [06:57] ram === help is now known as change [06:57] ribbitsss: try installing ubuntu in a pendrive, or do what ravi said (but you'll have to do it each time you boot) [06:57] levander: I will still have a look at it, thanks for the suggestion, but do you know of any pitfall of mirroring? [06:57] ribbitsss: that should be enough to experiment with drivers [06:57] imyousuf: Varnish doesn't cache debs retrieved via apt? Maybe you just need to configure apt to access your proxy before going out to the web? [06:57] will a 1gb pen drive work [06:57] zvacet: ok, I see the ISO 8.04 on third party software, is that right? [06:57] Prez00 : and it is mounted,right? === change is now known as bil9002 [06:57] zvacet: yes mounted === zump is now known as vanush [06:58] imyousuf: I've never tried apt-mirror or apt-cacher. I'm sure you could set that up if you wanted to. [06:58] i added the repo as per your page.. [06:58] ravi, did sudo apt-get install ephiphany-browser, how can i start it though ? [06:58] Prez00 :yes,that is it [06:58] ok, so here goes again.. [06:58] imyousuf: That's all the public mirrors do, can't imagine there's a reason why you couldn't set one up privately. [06:58] orudie: you'lll have to enable it in System > preferences > main menu under the internet section [06:58] orudie: you'll see it as checked but just uncheck and recheck it to show up [06:58] levander: I use varnish for web caching and it does cache, but what happens if the upgrades are not done sequentially and the cache expires, we will be using the BW again [06:58] zvacet: u said I shoul upgrade using synaptic not upgrade manager? [06:59] i installed eclipse on ubuntu, for some reason it can't resolve import java.util.scanner; how could this be? [06:59] imyousuf: If you're doing lots of new installs, maybe you could configure Varnish to cache debs for longer periods of time than other files? [06:59] levander: so mirror is quite important for my purpose [06:59] levander: longer caching still it has to expire sometime :) [07:00] ravi, ok works [07:00] imyousuf: Yeah, I'd look into configure Varnish for cache debs for longer periods of time. But, I'm starting to think I wouldn't be surprised if you're right. [07:00] orudie: smoothly? [07:00] ravi, still google maps are really slow, [07:00] having cache will also help my associates using Ubuntu to upgrade version [07:00] Prez00 : yes because iso is repository now and you should be able to install from it.If you do it with update manager it will be double download [07:00] ravi, no, very choppy [07:00] imyousuf: Have you been able to view any stats to see what percentage of your BW is apt specific? [07:00] quit [07:00] hello [07:00] orudie: guess may be stick to google earth? :) [07:00] zvacet: oh, ok i almost did it with upgrade manager [07:00] ravi, lol [07:01] levander: from where I come we use EXTREMELY slow internet. say 100kbps [07:01] ravi, i dont understand, in windows it works perfect [07:01] compiz is not working and i keep on having to type stuff in to the terminal to get it to work [07:01] orudie: I'm sure it's something funky with the drivers [07:01] imyousuf: And, you've disabled P2P ports, so nobody can kill your BW downloading porn? [07:01] so for me being able to mirror is quite vital as you can see. [07:01] anyone here have experience with samba with XBMC ? [07:01] hey all I have a local network with a gigabit switch connecting my Ubuntu PC and my Windows Vista PC. While using my Windows machine I can copy an 8GB file to the Ubuntu machine in about 4 minutes (over samba). Likewise, from the Windows machine I can copy an 8GB file from the Ubuntu machine to the Windows machine in the same amount of time. If I go onto the Ubuntu machine, though, and copy the same file from the Windows PC to the Ubun [07:01] (media player / streamer?) [07:01] orudie: I'm using 8400M nvidia and everything works very nicely on my laptop [07:01] ravi, i'm not even talking about the images, i'm talking about just reagular maps [07:01] levander: I have firewall setup blocking unnecessary connections [07:02] ok I keep getting the black lcd everytime my monitor turns off and it worn go back on [07:02] imyousuf: Yeah, I see you're point. But, I'm rarely sitting there waiting for an update unless I've done I new install. I just have updates done automatically in the middle of the night. [07:02] what could the cause of this [07:02] ravi, so is there a way to completely remove the drivers [07:02] ravi, and then just use envy [07:02] ravi, to set them up [07:02] imyousuf: Sound like you know what you're doing if you've already configured the firewall. [07:02] compiz is not working and i keep on having to type stuff in to the terminal to get it to work [07:02] orudie: it does this by default when you install the driver. [07:02] orudie: from within envy that is. [07:02] imyousuf: Maybe check #ubuntu-server? I think this channel ends up being more desktop centric usually. [07:02] does the dvd have the madwifi drivers? [07:02] .Been trying to intall 8.04 all day, shows a SCSI drive (which I don't have) on the "Prepare disk space" portion of the installation. Doesn't show IDE. If I select any of the options, it ends up giving me an error at 25%, saying that my disk or hdd is bad or something. Integrity check shows no errors, 3rd burn I've tried, drive works fine. Please help. [07:03] levander: yeah, ufw makes it so simple. http://imyousuf-tech.blogs.smartitengineering.com/2008/05/setting-up-firewall-in-ubuntu.html === MidgetARG is now known as MidgetSpy [07:03] the 8.04 dvd iso [07:03] levander: ah ok, thanks I will also check there === yodaz__ is now known as yodaz [07:03] orudie: _yawn_ gonna go sleep - have to get up early tomorrow [07:03] look [07:03] ravi, [07:03] orudie: yeah, go ahead [07:03] komatose:hPW OLD IS YOUR COMPUTER [07:04] old hp [07:04] like 2000-2001 [07:04] orudie: ?

[07:04] ravi, this happens when i type nvidia-settings [07:04] orudie: what about sudo? [07:05] guys my memory stick duo pro is now working on 8 04, it was working fine on 7 10 can any one help pls [07:05] ravi, same [07:05] orudie: most of that is because of permissions [07:05] orudie: hmm [07:05] ribbitsss: It's just the number of packages i beleive. [07:05] Linux-Hawk: why? [07:05] zvacet: so i just hit mark all upgrades? [07:05] ravi, same thing with sudo nvidia-settings [07:05] do i make && make_modules insatll to create a custom kernel the forum suggested building deb package [07:05] compiz is not working and i keep on having to type compiz --replace in to the terminal to get it to work [07:05] can anyone help me? [07:06] what do you mean by packages? [07:06] Is there any translation software for Ubuntu? [07:06] what video card do you have? [07:06] orudie: you could try moving those setting files to some backup file name and see what the defaults do [07:06] komatose: Becuae certain older computers take a little mmotre tinkering with in order to install ubuntu. [07:06] ravi, http://pastebin.com/m75f97311 [07:07] Linux-Hawk: like what? [07:07] orudie: do this: go to your home directory and rename your .nvidia-settings-rc file to .nvidia-settings-rc.backup [07:07] ravi, i think i started getting this error after i tried saving the .sfg file [07:07] Linux-Hawk: it's strange, because a guy i've talked to online for years up in Canada has this same old machine, and installed 8.04 just fine with no problems. :( [07:08] iam using ktorrent. when i launch it. it downloads at good speed. then after some time it decreases and gradually to zero speed. stailed. what can be wrong? [07:08] redrebel, nvidia accelerated graphics driver [07:08] komatose: Mainly driver issues suck as the issuw you seem to be running into [07:08] oh i see. [07:08] latitu: If you restart, does it resume at good speeds? [07:08] orudie: well, if it isn't effecting your display, I don't think it's really doing anything bad - it's just some old settings that don't apply to your current display settings (two monitors seperated) [07:08] Flannel yes. it does [07:08] i remember seeing something somewhere about using a generic driver.. would that help anything? [07:08] orudie: so don't change anything here.

[08:28] snoopy, free will give you the total memory minus the memory used by the kernel [08:29] actually... I'm interested in finding just the same thing as ariqs... is there any linux equivalent of Currports? Basically it shows tcp/udp ports open, what processes are using them, local and remote addresses and ports, etc [08:29] regius, osx? is this a dual boot or other [08:29] kdtorvalds26: you mean netstat?

[08:31] Cheesypieces, ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxx.default/ [08:32] regius, not sure how that has to do with ubuntu--> doubtful though as they use different sound architectures [08:32] zzzzzzz there is NO way to install vmware on 8.1 yet? [08:32] Cheesypieces, with xxxxxx random alphanums... [08:32] kdtorvalds26: use sudo netstat -tup to see more [08:32] Hey guys , I have installed proftp on my ubuntu machin but the thing is I cant get that run - is it possible to run an ftp server on ubuntu desktop ? [08:32] Cheesypieces: FF3 has an import-export module in the bookmark manager [08:32] Hi, I was just backing up my /home folder in order to replace it inside a fresh Hardy install. However k3b gives me this option while adding files to a dvd : "Do you also want to add system files (FIFOs, sockets, device files, and broken symlinks)? " Shall i copy these as well or not?

I'm trying to copy a large file from a Windows XP computer. The share shows up fine, and smaller files copy fine. But the large file doesn't get past 1GB before I get a "connection time out" error. Is this a samba problem do you think, or a problem with the way I've setup this XP share? I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this. [08:55] i can clone my monitor, but when i try to do dual displays it crashes.. (hardy).. i945.. any hints? [08:55] SliderMan, you getting an error failed with that? is this edubuntu, gutsy or other [08:55] ubuntu 8.04 hardy [08:55] no [08:55] no error im just trying to figure if i need it [08:55] susanoo: any ideas?

[08:57] hello all [08:57] SliderMan, then I guess you want lynx [08:57] maybe [08:57] is there anyone who knows how to change defaultcharset in apache2 to iso8859-1? [08:57] apt-get install lynx? [08:57] SliderMan, with a sudo [08:57] (iam using ubuntu server 8.04 server) [08:57] its a root shell [08:57] lmao [08:58] !enter | SliderMan [08:58] SliderMan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [08:58] what was the site again please? [08:58] when setting up a ppp connection on buntu so that a normal user cna use it, i know i need to add the user to dialup and dip. do i need to add the user to netdev too? [08:58] !root | SliderMan [08:58] SliderMan: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:58] SliderMan, http://www.edubuntu.org/GettingStarted [08:58] how do i get rid of icons in the trash can that have been deleted and wont go away? [08:58] its a root shell. [08:58] SliderMan, it should not be - there is no need [08:58] susanoo: libstdc++ installed? [08:59] ompaul, im in the instllation proc ... shells running as root. [08:59] Thanks Bazhang. The easiest fix I can think of is to rar the large file into smaller 150MB pieces. This isn't something I have to do too often. Some google info says if the share is mounted as CIFS instead (??) it helps. Is this the "mangle lock" bug, do you think? http://linux.israel.net/samba/whatsnew/samba-2.0.4.html [08:59] how do I add a kerberos schema which is sitting on a server and comes up in text form in firefox? [08:59] no guess not , legend2440 [08:59] i.e. http://www.stanford.edu/services/directory/openldap/configuration/krb5-kdc.schema [09:00] since i upgraded to 8.04 i am unable to access any of my extra workspace either by clicking or ctrl+alt+arrow - how can i fix this? [09:01] ArthurArchnix, cifs seems to be standard now with hardy [09:02] legen2440 , how do i install it ? [09:02] http://www.eubuntu.org/ - that site wont load for me? [09:02] evidently this schema is missing from the package for heimdal-kdc or something - and heimdal-kdc gives me errors when I try to upgrade it (even on fresh install after complete removal including all config files for it) [09:02] SliderMan, edu not eu [09:02] thanks alot. [09:03] bashang , how do i install libstdc++ [09:03] SliderMan, sorry got lost for a bit, were you able to get that menu.lst file? [09:03] After I already had Kubuntu installed, I installed gentoo to another partition. Since Ubuntu can automagically setup grub's menu.lst for other OSs on install, is there a way to make it automagically add an entry for gentoo? [09:03] SliderMan : good information anyway [09:04] susanoo, apt-cache search libstd will show what you need [09:05] i have a question for you experts, like one year ago i was having this friend of mine here on IRC, now at some point i /dnsed his nickname, and the service resolved that hostname to 127.0.0.1 and from 10 to 10 seconds the IP was changing to 10.10.10.10 and 80.80.80.80, he never said it, anyone knows how he did that? [09:05] ctx144k_: I think you want AddDefaultCharset http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset [09:05] like "who" was reversing it? [09:05] the ISP maybe?

Even though the file I'm trying to copy is over 4GB and both computers run 32bit software, it quits at a gig, so I don't think that's it either.

[09:31] It said "the resize operation was aborted" (without me cancelling it or anything) and it seems to be the same partition size as it used to be, so I'm presuming it's just swapped FS.

Do you have a router in your home network? If yes, then don't enable it. [11:29] glick: lol possibly [11:29] ere4si: any ideas? [11:29] im more knowledgeable on the server side unfortunately [11:29] "I wasn't able to locate a file for the [package] package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package" [11:29] hischild: worth a try as long as it will reconfig a new one on reboot. do you think it would/ or would a new one have to be created by hand? [11:29] ^ I hope I haven't broken APT *again* [11:29] david_-_-: only the rm -rf Trash one... - srry [11:30] sandraaaaa: first, open synaptic and search (compiz) look for compize config setting manager, and install it and come back [11:30] glick: i have the same thing. If i want to run a game WITH sound, i have to close all programs using sound. I can start them later and that works fine, but i have to wait till it is started. [11:30] thx [11:30] hischild: thats odd. ESPECIALLY with pulse [11:30] legend2440: no Trash folder means an empty trash. If you empty trash the folder will be gone as well. That's safe. [11:30] hischild i dont. [11:30] hischild so if i want to share my internet with another computers i should enable both options ? enable internet connection sharing and enable dhcp for local network? [11:30] or ony one>? [11:30] rockets: tell me about it. But hey, it works that way so i'm satisfied. [11:30] only* [11:30] hischild: that would really piss me off :-P [11:30] latitu_: yes that would be advisable. [11:31] rockets: i'm used to it. Besides that, i usually play music on my laptop and game on my main pc :-) [11:31] good thing i dont game [11:31] linux games kinda = poop anyway [11:31] rockets: oh no, far from it. They are faster, lighter and look just as good IMO. [11:31] i'm worried i'm going to screw my nice clean server up... is there some kind of snapshot backup i can make? (i'm usnig server) [11:31] hischild: i disagree :-D [11:31] My screen will only work i 800x600 due to an error in the nvidia drivers has anybody had the same problem? [11:31] rockets: good thing difference of opinion is allowed here ;) [11:32] hischild i need to check enable internet connection sharing .. [11:32] but dhcp is an option.. [11:32] right? [11:32] and if i dont check dhcp. how should i assign ip to the computer. or how will it work? [11:32] joep: first step, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:32] latitu_: don't paste lines in here. You can enable it now. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can always go back and disable it. You'll have to set the ip's manually then. [11:32] whoopsie. was that a teency split? [11:32] latitu, honestly you really should connect both pc's to a switch/router and use dhcp to make it really simple. you don't need to connect one pc to another directly [11:33] hi [11:33] !hi | imachin1 [11:33] imachin1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! === imachin1 is now known as imachine_ [11:33] rockets: depends what kind of games you like [11:33] rockets: thanks. But I have done that several times. As the error says it cannot find the glx nvidia driver I have dIsabled glx but that didn't help. [11:33] gordonjcp: well yeah if you like card games and things like that, linux games are just fnie [11:33] glick: most commercial games use incredibly brain-dead sound software [11:33] hischild how to set the ip manually ? [11:33] gordonjcp: linux casual games are great [11:33] rockets: and fpses [11:33] i dont like any of the linux FPS games ive tried. [11:34] just started using ubuntu [11:34] unless you count the port of soldier of fortune :-P [11:34] looks pretty good :) [11:34] rockets: so, you don't like any of the Quake or Doom series? [11:34] gordonjcp: i do, but theyre based on super old engines. theyre *alright* [11:34] can someone help me load my sound card driver? i found once a command in goggle but i cant find it anymore [11:34] gordonjcp: when i game on linux, which is rare because i dont really game, it tends to be via wine. [11:34] rockets: I wouldn't say Quake 4 was a "super old engine" [11:35] gordonjcp: oh i didnt realize quake 4 ran on linux, thats cool [11:35] i was thinking about the FLOSS games though [11:35] latitu_: on command line type >> ifconfig, then find the interface you want to use. Then type ifconfig (without the < and > ofcourse) [11:35] hey, what's the status of 'proposed' repositories? [11:35] rockets: yeah, I'm currently playing my way through original half-life on Linux through wine [11:35] latitu_: i got to go, gf is coming by. I'll be around later. [11:35] are they safe for everyday usage? [11:35] gordonjcp: thats a game worth playing and replaying. [11:35] rockets: *all* the iD software games have Linux ports from day one [11:35] whats the command for loading modules? [11:35] gordonjcp: thats pretty cool [11:35] SliderMan: modprobe [11:35] Sliderman: insmod. [11:35] haha [11:35] modprobe? [11:35] rockets: nexuiz, warsow and tremulous may be based on old engines, but they look far better then most other games i've done so far. [11:35] rockets: the original Quake was developed on iirc NeXT [11:36] yea [11:36] thanks [11:36] i recieved this message Desktop effects could not be enabled [11:36] sandraaaaa: now go to system\preferences\appearance\visual effects. [11:36] need sudo? [11:36] well insmod is for loading, but modprobe loads deps as well [11:36] hischild: i tried nexuiz warsow and tremulous. i wasnt really impressed. [11:36] helloo [11:36] SLiderman: modprobe is somewhat more 'intelligent' than insmod. [11:36] i still like good ol' counter-strike [11:36] I'm not really impressed by any FPS anymore [11:36] SliderMan: Of Course. [11:37] Actiually it's better to oepn e root condole. [11:37] yes but i recieve Desktop effects could not be enabled [11:37] anyone here do a full backup of their Ubuntu install? [11:37] hooer: nope [11:37] also, is there some thinkpad configuration utility for ubuntu ? [11:37] hooer: I only ever back up /home [11:37] jeop, i get this :insmod: can't read 'ESS1938-solo': No such file or directory [11:37] sandraaaaa: did you load the restricted drivers? [11:37] it worked for me once tho [11:37] Is it possible to get the Ubuntu installer to use an http proxy? So that when it get to the point of configuring the update manager it can download information correctly. [11:37] hooer: good luck L [11:37] how to do that [11:37] SliderMan: Sorry for the typo's. [11:38] gordon, do you know how to tho? i just want to be sure i don't screw the system up by compiling new things :p [11:38] Hi, does anyone have Ubuntu on a USB stick? [11:38] sandraaaaa: system\administration\restricted drivers [11:38] hooer: if you make /home a separate partition, then you can just opt to leave it alone when you reinstall [11:38] Merq, i have a how-to if you're interested [11:38] is it possible to add some space from another harddrive on to my home directory? [11:38] hooer: it doesn't take long to reinstall [11:38] thx [11:39] hooer: I am, thx. running Vista here on a ThinkPad without a DVD or CD drive [11:39] bah :/ i like the safety of an automated snapshot ;p [11:39] Foon: are you using lvm? [11:39] SliderMan: Open a root console and type modprobe --help [11:39] Merq, one sec, i'll dig it up [11:39] ok sandraaaaa when done you may have to reboot and restart compiz [11:39] much appreciated [11:39] lvm? not sure [11:39] ok [11:39] jeop how can i find a list of all modules? [11:39] Foon: probably not then [11:39] SliderMan: lsmod [11:39] i dont hear any sound too [11:39] Foon: do you know how mount points work? [11:39] Merq: you can install via wubi [11:39] yeah just checked i'm not. [11:39] ciao a tutto il canale [11:40] That give all the modules that are loaded. [11:40] SliderMan: you're probably looking for snd-es1938 [11:40] !it | lello23 [11:40] lello23: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [11:40] do the drivers first, reboot and then come back sandraaaaa [11:40] ive fixed that problem on 7.04 with inserting a additional line in some text [11:40] rockets, wubi creates a boot partition though? [11:40] ok [11:40] Foon: basically you can attach a physical disk partition just about anywhere in the filesystem - it's not like you have drive letters that represent partitions [11:40] Merq, ah.. it's on a private forum, if you join it you'll be able to read it tho [11:40] ok [11:40] Merq: wubi doesnt create a partition, it creates a file within your windows install [11:40] yeah i have another hardrive mounted as home but it's full, i want to add some more space to it from my primary drive because it's basically empty [11:40] Foon: so you *could* mount another drive somewhere under /home [11:40] Merq: you can even remove ubuntu/wubi via add/remove programs in windows [11:40] Merq, forums.overclockers.com.au [11:41] jeop its not listed anyway to update that list? [11:41] Merq: In other words, wubi will let you install WITHOUT a cdrom, and without changing any partitions [11:41] thx hooer [11:41] this is weird... the nm-applet shows that I have 41% signal strength, but when I ping my own ip it says network is unreachable. Anyone's seen things like these? [11:41] Hi. Having troubles with disk usage analyzer. First it shows a 2GB file as 788MB and secondly the free space is apparently wrong (according to df and nautilus) by 6GB [11:41] Foon: is the "basically empty" primary drive partitioned, with a nice big empty partition available? [11:41] rockets, I7ll try that too [11:41] Merq: :-D [11:41] i want to add the space so that it's contigious and don't have to start moving stuff around it's just allocated when needed [11:41] bachstudies: sudo flux-capacitor --repair [11:41] lol [11:41] void^ its not listed anyway to update that list? [11:42] gordon, i found something to do it -> TimeVault :) [11:42] gordon: no but i'm gonna reinstall for the new ubuntu so thats what i ws thinking [11:42] mad_at_wifi: even without a signal at all you should be able to ping your own IP... [11:42] sorry, i have to throw that out at least once per session [11:42] SliderMan: modprobe snd-es1938 [11:42] rockets: very funny [11:42] Foon: fair enough - make sure you leave a separate partition for /home [11:42] hi everyone , i need your help with cp command , --backup=[control] option , [11:42] I tell ya, I love how smart Xorg has gotten so practially nothing has to be set in xorg.conf anymore [11:42] void^ modprobe snd-es1938 :( [11:42] the problem is that i have various folder within one folder , [11:43] those guys are doing great over there at Xorg [11:43] rockets: it made my day a little better thanks i needed the laugh but hey rockets look at this eh http://mirror7.escomposlinux.org/comic/ecol-160-e.png [11:43] ya rabid that works nicely now [11:43] gordon: can i split the home partition over two drives? without needing too have it as a drive within a drive? [11:43] Foon: if you're building a box you plan on adding more disks to, it might be worth reading about LVM [11:43] void^ FATAL: Module snd_es1938 not found. sorry for the miss type [11:43] rockets: no problem - i presume you don't have a real answer ?! [11:43] saves alot of hassle for sure [11:43] rabidwee1le: as it should be. every time somebody has to drop to terminal to fix a problem, we've essentially lose a non-geek user [11:43] Foon: kind of - with LVM you can seamlessly join as many physical disks as you want and they show up as one big drive [11:43] gordon: okay i'll take a look [11:43] SliderMan: What do you mean? The list shows you the installed modules on your system. With modprobe name you install module name. It is possible that your Ubuntu doesn't have these programs as I have found that Ubuntu tries to be User-friendly which often means technicin-unfriendly. [11:43] Is there a MSN client for Ubuntu that can send offline messages? Pidgin wont do it [11:43] gordonjcp, as I said - WEIRD. [11:43] oh damn, TimeVault is for gui not CLI :( [11:43] Foon: without LVM you can fake it with clever mountpoint tricks [11:43] gordon: thanks sir [11:43] david_-_-: ahah thats fairly great. [11:43] hej i have problems with glipper so i removed it and i still get this error every time i login: The panel ebcoubtered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Glipper". [11:43] where can I get the AWN for hardy? [11:43] that is correct rockets [11:44] bachstudies: sorry man [11:44] effects work now [11:44] thx [11:44] gordonjcp, ok, so I used the "manual configuration" and things seem to be fine [11:44] hooer: if you toast your system, just reinstall it ;-) [11:44] now sound problem [11:44] mad_at_wifi: odd [11:44] Eds, pidgin is dooing it with jabba-protokoll for example [11:44] rockets: lol yea i like it alot [11:44] joep i have the card installed but it wont recornised it somewhy! this worked for me once. [11:44] SliderMan: which kernel are you running? [11:44] gordon:if lvms easier i'd probably use that unless there are draw backs? [11:44] mad_at_wifi: I too am mad at wifi :-p [11:44] gordonjcp, tell me about it. [11:44] anybody else notice that the free space shown by df is different to that of disk usage analyzer (aside from the GVFS issue)? [11:44] and if i dont check dhcp. how should i assign ip to the computer. or how will it work? [11:44] oh it might be a diff kernel Oo [11:44] I also have a issue where Ubuntu 8 is not running smooth like it did when i was running the beta [11:44] rockets, join the club. [11:44] mad_at_wifi: maybe you weren't talking to the ap you thought you were? [11:44] !info awn | ricanelite [11:44] ricanelite: Package awn does not exist in hardy [11:44] I have compiz running [11:44] gordon, i like establishing safety points :p like leading a rock climb ;) [11:44] sandraaaaa: im not a good sound trouble shooter yet, someone here could help im sure [11:44] mad_at_wifi: i have to use b43 for my wifi. its total crap. [11:44] void^ how can i check which kernel im running? [11:44] ok [11:45] SLiderman: which card? an nvidia graphics card? [11:45] gordonjcp, I am pretty sure about this. The router was listed as one of the essids [11:45] rockets: linksys? [11:45] how do I disable the blinking cursor in gnome-terminal? === david_-_- is now known as mad [11:45] Hi, I upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04, and now all sound is gone? How do I figure out whats wrong and fix it? [11:45] rabidwee1le: no, broadcom, thats what b43 is for [11:45] SliderMan: uname -r [11:45] officially its a Dell 1390 Wifi [11:45] ive fixed once the problem with insterting a line in some sound text in ubuntu 7,04 [11:45] rockets, b43 here too. what were they thinking when they made the card. b43 = broadcom [11:45] no its a sound card ess 1938 solo [11:45] but its actually a bcm43xx [11:45] my linksys has a broadcom chipset === mad is now known as mad-at-trash-can [11:45] ah! I found the Cursor blin_k_s option [11:45] mad_at_wifi: its not the card. its the linux drivers. i have no problems with the card on windows. b43 is just junk. [11:45] it's the same actually [11:45] 2.6.24-16-generic [11:45] wpc54g [11:46] rockets: I just discovered UNetbootin when looking up wubi... maybe I can use that to create a bootable USB install [11:46] umm [11:46] void^ 2.6.24-16-generic << kernel ver [11:46] it's a total pain to setup rocket's, I hear that [11:46] mad_at_wifi: dont get me wrong, i appreciate the effort behind b43. but how about making something that doesnt totally suck :-P [11:46] i have a problem, but it isnt ubuntu related [11:46] rockets, that's because the card is a hack to work with windows and apparently does not do things the standard way. [11:46] and nobody on the PCBSD channels wil help [11:46] could anyone help me with this please http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782591 [11:46] hello i have just upgrade to Hardy and aMSN seems to stop working. i get the following problem "Loading tkcximage failed " [11:46] SliderMan: is linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic installed? [11:46] I cant GET RID OF PCBSD [11:46] rockets, I agree but I will NOT complain about things that I haven't contributed @ all. [11:46] void^ i dont know. [11:46] mad_at_wifi: there are plenty of good excuses for why the card doesnt work right. but the fact is, it still doesnt work rightm no matter how good your excuse is. [11:46] mad_at_wifi: well, i guess we're different in that way :-P [11:47] Does Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop Ed. include performance boots compared to 7.10 -- which I think slows my PC down compared to e.g. Debian. [11:47] I don't know but the eye candy effects are running very slow in my machine which compiz never ran like that before in 7.10 and even in the hardy beta [11:47] SliderMan: OK. I don't know the card but I assume that standard drivers at least can recognize the card. Have you tried another one (e.g. Soundblaster)? [11:47] what can be the problem? [11:47] Zta: it is way faster [11:47] rockets: I got it to work in edgy just fine [11:47] hi hooer, there are tens of thousands of posts on forums.overclockers.com.au!! [11:47] but after that it was a pain [11:47] rabidwee1le: b43 does work just fine. sometimes. and othertimes not. [11:47] jeop allso my onboard soundcard dosent works. [11:47] Merq - http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=676083 [11:47] please please help me get rid of PCBSD so i can put in ubuntu again [11:47] Xcell, really? Anywhere I can read about the improvements in detail? [11:47] rabidwee1le: actually b43 is super easy to set up. its mostly automatic. [11:47] jeop allso all of my chipset not recornised. [11:47] I always get error messages in my console from the junker though no matter what [11:47] SliderMan: dpkg -l linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-16-generic [11:47] can be distracting [11:48] not off the top of my heat [11:48] head [11:48] rockets, I am willing to flame broadcom for this. Then again they can jus say that they never intended to support lin. I am guessing that with companies slapping them on the bottom with money is the only way to go. [11:48] hopefully I can just get a new minipci wireless for my laptop with Gband instead of using it [11:48] SliderMan: It can of course be hardware but you can look in the list under hardware and see if all your hardware is correctly recognized. [11:48] Zta: i know it screams on my machune [11:48] mad_at_wifi: yeah, broadcoms only responsibility in this is that they refuse to release the specs for their cards. but that's their right I guess. Intel Wifi ftw. [11:48] void^ its said some stuff should i post it? [11:48] machine [11:49] SliderMan: does the last line start with ii? [11:49] jeop my hardware worked 400% under windows. [11:49] hello i have just upgrade to Hardy and aMSN seems to stop working. i get the following problem "Loading tkcximage failed ", does anyone got an idea how to solve it?

[11:49] rockets, I used RT25XX series without any problem. I like them [11:49] ya, im on it now [11:49] please someone help me Kill PCBSD! [11:49] is there a way I could tell if I have the right drivers for my graphics carD? [11:49] SliderMan: so you do have the file /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/snd-es1938.ko ? [11:50] Xcell, ok. Perhaps I should try and distupgrade then. [11:50] void^ where can i check? [11:50] karuna_bdc, format?? [11:50] no [11:50] ricanelite: what video card? [11:50] just a clean install [11:50] Nvidia [11:50] geforce 8400 === Mister is now known as mrkaos [11:50] ricanelite: have you checked the restricted driver manager [11:50] SliderMan: ls /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/snd-es1938.ko [11:50] mad_at_wifi:it dont work!

Dist upgrades are scarry. [11:50] mad_at_wifi:it just says cannot create EX3 partition and fails [11:50] what can i type that shows the current running services? [11:50] SliderMan: sudo depmod [11:51] mad_at_wifi: i hear aetheros cards work the best on linux. but i dont know first hand. [11:51] void^ tho i installed that thing you told me about before [11:51] hej i have problems with glipper so i removed it and i still get this error every time i login: The panel ebcoubtered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Glipper". [11:51] then you should be good there, as long as you see (latest cards) [11:51] Zta: big time, just get another drive and install [11:51] mad_at_wifi:or for windows it just wont go into installation [11:51] SliderMan: Than your hardware is not recognized. The easiest way to see if it is an Ubuntu problem is to download another distribution (I think Fedora now also has a Live CD but any of the others is OK) and see of they recognize your hardware. [11:51] I have microsoft wireless laser keyboard but not all the keys are working. Is there a way to fix this? [11:51] karuna_bdc, you might want to delete the partition and then recreate it. If that is not possible I cannot think of anything other than a bad HDD. Then again I am not l33t [11:51] xukun: check system>prefferences>keyboard [11:51] hooer: open term and type ins ps aux [11:51] also, is there a way to make the tracker search tool remove deleted emails from its index? Does this automatically happen after a certain amount of time? [11:52] Xcell, not that easy -- it's on my laptop [11:52] void^ that command you gave me worked for a sec and then nothing. [11:52] oh sry [11:52] SliderMan: now try modprobe snd-es1938 [11:52] rockets, yes, I heard the same. Problem with this is that I did not know what chip I will get while ordering the laptop. Besides there is not much choice in this case. [11:52] rabidwee1le, ok thanks [11:52] david, thanks i knew about that one, i meant the more simple thing that showed the /etc/init ones? [11:52] void^ some errors [11:52] np [11:52] SliderMan: well, pastebin [11:52] mad_at_wifi: yeah. but you can tell with some brands. lenovo thinkpads give you a choice of what wifi you want, including intel, which is always a good choice. [11:53] anybody use xchat, you can hear sound out of the keyboard [11:53] void^ it was because i didnt use sudo [11:53] do anyone know how to make the wheel tilt on the logitech g7 work with imwheel? [11:53] * rabidwee1le can't wait for his taxes so he can get his new toshiba laptop [11:53] hooer: u didnt say what one at first.. [11:53] hope I can install hardy on that [11:53] SliderMan: To see if you have a driver type: locate es19 then all files related to this card are shown. [11:53] mad_at_wifi: i mean, ultimately you can make anything work, at least via ndiswrapper. but the question is how well. [11:53] david, yeh sorry i meant that list. [11:53] rockets, then again I do not like the Thinkpads. Guess we cannot have everything we want :(. In this case, we cannot have a laptop that works just find. [11:53] SliderMan: well, is it working now? [11:53] u^A: yep - if I go too far with the delete button etc [11:54] mad_at_wifi: you could always buy a laptop from a company that makes linux laptops [11:54] mad_at_wifi: ok do you know how to get rid of the partition from Ubuntu 8.40 live CD? [11:54] void^ yeah it is [11:54] rockets, I am using fwcutter and it was pretty simple to get things working. Only problem was the actual netwok setup. I think it is a bug with network manager util [11:54] void^ any way it will work for my graphics card? prosavageddr? [11:54] hooer: give me the list again? [11:54] ere4si, really? [11:54] joep locate: can not open `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db': No such file or directory [11:54] SliderMan: void^: Sorry I didn't know he had the draiver. [11:54] i don't think so [11:54] david, the ones that are in /etc/init.d... like ftp server, ssh, samba [11:54] mad_at_wifi: i agree. fwcutter is very easy to set up. but i randomly cant connect to certain networks, no matter what i try. oddly enough, WPA networks are the easiest to get working. [11:55] karuna_bdc, did you install ubuntu to a windows partition? As in did you install it ON top of windows? [11:55] WEP networks almost never work for me [11:55] and i occasionally even have trouble with open networks [11:55] after years of using xchat, that's the first time i heard [11:55] rockets: which card are you using? [11:55] gordonjcp: its some bcm43xx card i forget exactley which one [11:55] hooer: try this ps aux | grep /etc/init [11:55] gordonjcp, he uses a broadcom chip card [11:55] mad_at_wifi: i installed PCBSD on a fresh drive [11:55] rockets: ah, broadcom, it's not very well supported [11:55] gordonjcp: I know. Thats what ive been bitching about for the last 20 minutes :-P [11:55] I got a laptop with only 256 megs of ram, and I had ubuntu cd's shipped to me, they don't ship alternate install cd's.. Is there a way to install from the hard drive? There isn't enough memory to run from live cd since it requires 384 megs of ram. [11:55] mad_at_wifi: i want to install ubuntu, but i cant get rid of PCBSD [11:55] karuna_bdc, drive or partition? [11:56] u^A: with nothing typed if I hit delete it beeps [11:56] void^ anyway this will work for my graphic card as well? [11:56] no [11:56] karuna_bdc: just start the ubuntu installer. it will let you format drives as you wish [11:56] SliderMan: should work with the savage X driver. [11:56] I can't download the alt cd [11:56] the noise is heard when punchng the key [11:56] modprobe savage x driver ? [11:56] punching* [11:56] SliderMan: OK. That means you don't have a database with the contents of your system. Then do "updatedb" (zonder quotes!). Yha will generate the database so you can find always what you want with the locate command. [11:56] rabidwee1le: this is a offtopic but did you used to play wow? [11:57] mad_at_wifi: i used the whole drive and let PCBSD partition it itself, now i want to get rid of it and install Ubuntu, but cant, it wont format it [11:57] on a free server [11:57] btw, does anybody know how to update the apropos db. the command SHOULD be makewhatis, but i cant find that command in ubuntu [11:57] rabidwee1le: oh never the payed ones? [11:57] karuna_bdc, "it" = "Ubuntu" I presume [11:57] SliderMan: Updatedb can take some time (if you hav 500 GB of stuff). [11:57] no [11:57] hooer: did that work? [11:57] SliderMan: ... no. there should be some gui to configure the graphics driver in gnome. perhaps you just need to reboot if it couldn't load the savage kernel module before. [11:57] i did some typing earlier on when the sound is heard [11:57] I don't have money to throw around thanks to a wife and kid hehe [11:57] whats the other ubuntu channel? :P [11:57] hey i installed ubuntu 8.04, and then i installed xubuntu-desktop. and now when i try to load xfce in the session thing in GDM, it just hangs [11:58] void^ i had some problems with it even before. [11:58] any idea what the problem is? [11:58] rabidwee1le: i asked because i played it on the paid and i had a friend on my realm named rabidweasle [11:58] Eds, list #buntu [11:58] I go by RabidWeezle [11:58] hehe [11:58] Eds, list #ubuntu [11:58] omg that is so funny [11:58] mad_at_wifi: yes Ubuntu, sorry if im not clear. im getting frustrated now [11:58] SliderMan: void^: Are you talking about a audio or avideo card (I thought the former). [11:58] is there a way to make rhythmbox random play be more random seems like it plays the same songs when ever i start it [11:58] mad_at_wifi:at the computer of course [11:58] hey rabidwee1le u know how to make a private server? [11:58] joep: audio before, video now ;) [11:59] hooer: did that work for you? [11:59] joep my sound card worked before and my graphics cards not, and i tried to reinstall ubuntu to see if it fixs it and then none worked. [11:59] karuna_bdc, I can understand. Just be a little patient and you will get your answers. [11:59] Ok. I have also a very big problem with my video. nvidia will not load its glx driver. Even after disabling in in xorg.conf. [11:59] SliderMan: what graphics card? [12:00] mad_at_wifi: sorry. its really just ARRRRGHH. [12:00] When I redirect something like "aptitude search x" to a file, I get 80 character lines and the rest of the output is chopped off. However, on the terminal the output looks normal. How comes? [12:00] karuna_bdc, so you started your system with the LiveCD and tried to install Ubuntu 8.04. It failed ONLY near formatting the HDD right? [12:00] http://www.colectionarul.com/existenz1.html [12:00] joep: sudo apt-get install nvidia-xsetup I think it's called [12:00] rabidweeile: ProSavageDDR [12:00] rabidweeile: i can find the correct chipset if this helps [12:00] joep: then sudo nvidia-xsetup and it should set you up [12:01] yeah, it matters alot what chipset [12:01] ^_^ [12:01] hmmm... should I install the x64 or 32 bit version? [12:01] rabidwee1le: have you ever made your own private server? [12:01] I want to [12:01] Any advantages to a 64bit version? [12:01] I've been working on it [12:01] Merq: how much ram do you have? [12:02] rabidwee1le: u join me in room #wwwed please. [12:02] 3 gig [12:02] k [12:02] Merq: then no, not really [12:02] Merq, not much [12:02] "Proceed indexes: [PPsh: cannot open archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu//dists/hardy-updates/main/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages.gz: No such file" I get this when adding 'main/debian-installer' to the 'mirror.list' file and then trying to create a mirror with 'apt-mirror'. How do I resolve this? [12:02] Merq: runs processes with >4GB memory usage. [12:02] No performance advantages? [12:02] http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9729/41823606xq6.png please see this ? [12:02] rabidweeile: prosavageddr is not supported in ubuntu? [12:02] Merq: not that you will notice if you are asking this question [12:02] mad_at_wifi: yes from the live CD it says cannot create EX3 partition [12:02] I have just installed 8.04 and the installer has just exited - no question to reboot or continue. This happened to me when I installed 7.10 and I found that it hadn't installed properly. Can anyone help? [12:03] jrib: you are right :) [12:03] Where is the installer log file, for example. [12:03] latitu_: eth2 hasn't been fired up? [12:03] rabidwee1le: I have done all I could imagine with the xorg.conf manually and with helperprograms and the error always stays. I know there is a bug in the nvidiadrivers and it may well be that my card is too olf (GeForce4 MX4000). [12:03] jrib: will be running it on a Lenovo Thinkpad x61 [12:03] karuna_bdc, anything else? did you assign a "/" root partition in the partition list? [12:04] karuna_bdc, what does your partition setup look like? [12:04] Merq: the truth is there are still some quirks with it (though they're pretty small now). If you're comfortable with ubuntu and don't mind doing some extra work to get things to work, then you can choose whatever you want. If you want the easiest choice (more things "just work"), then go with 32bit [12:04] Eeek! My Amarok (that has been working fine for 8 months) has suddenly said it cannot play MP3s. Any ideas? [12:04] mad_at_wifi: i just let it assign everything automatically ( im a linux n00b) and selected "guided - use entire drive" [12:04] I have now installed my server, but how can I login from another pc, I have installed openssh? [12:04] void^ well ill try to reboot and see if it works, thanks alot. [12:04] thanks for helping everyone! [12:05] what is intrepid? [12:05] laguha: ssh your_username@ip_of_your_server [12:05] virtuald: the next release [12:05] ok [12:05] how can I set azureus to open torrent files. I dont have any other torrent client installed and I installed azureus 3.0.5.2 manually [12:05] rabidwee1le: By the way my ubuntu doesn't know nvidia-xsetup. [12:05] !intrepid [12:05] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex [12:05] !defaultapp > mad_max02 (read the private message from ubotu) [12:05] karuna_bdc, Mine : 100GB HDD ========= 11998 MB of "/" ext3 format, 1100MB of "swap", reset as /home in ext3 format [12:06] anyone knows the 8.04 trash path? [12:06] Vecnah: ~/.local/share/Trash/ [12:06] all of my videos are false-colour :(, how might I fix it? [12:06] mad_at_wifi: ok ill try that. Thanks alot for your help [12:06] karuna_bdc, I see. Could you try the manual route? How big is your HDD? [12:06] jrib, yeah I did that and I typed in azureus but when I click to open it azureus gives me an error that its not a file blah blah [12:06] mad_at_wifi: 160GB [12:07] karuna_bdc, try 15GB for "/" ext3 format, 2xRAM size for swap, rest for /home [12:07] ext3 [12:07] mad_max02: oh right, I remember this. You need to write a small script. There is a solution on the forums iirc. Search there and let me know if you can't find it. Why not just use the repositories by the way? [12:07] is there some way to move to trash and automatically write its info? [12:07] by command line, I mean [12:07] vinicius: "automatically write its info", what do you mean? [12:07] jrib, repos give me the outdated 2.5.0.4 thats banned on lots of torrent sites. [12:08] jrib, by command line [12:08] mad_max02: file a bug against it if that's true [12:08] jrib, using mv [12:08] Ok... but shoud I just write that command i my terminal on my other computer? [12:08] jrib, I folowed this page to install azureus http://www.computerhaters.com/howto/linux/linux-applications/install-azureus-vuze-in-ubuntu/ [12:08] laguha: yes [12:08] jrib, and everything works but I cant open a file by clicking on it in nautilus [12:09] mad_max02: did you see what I suggested about the forums? [12:09] jrib, every file moved to trash goes to /Trash/file, and has some info stored in 'info'... right? [12:09] I get this bug when installing => https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/migration-assistant/+bug/152261 Does anyone know of a workaround? Otherwise, the only way I will be able to install is to install Feisty and then upgrade up. [12:09] Launchpad bug 152261 in migration-assistant "grub not configured with live CD install with pre-existing /home partition (Gutsy RC)" [Undecided,Incomplete] [12:09] vinicius: ah, I see what you mean.

[12:16] okaaaaay! So I found out why wifi network was this flaky. My deathnote has an ethernet connection and a wifi connection. When I was installing Ubuntu I used the ethernet connection to get the drivers for b43. After configuring b43 if I set the eth0 to "roaming enabled" and have my wlan0 to the ip I want, I can use wifi. [12:16] How can I se my own ip from terminal? [12:17] laguha_: ifconfig [12:17] jrib, I cant find anything regarding my problem. I found this http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/21e2099441bf7b4c [12:17] jrib, that is closest to what I need to fix [12:17] ifconfig laguha [12:17] laguha_, the one behind the router [12:17] ifconfig laguha_ [12:17] how coly [12:17] i mean... holy cow [12:17] Okay i try [12:17] mad_max02: you searched ubuntuforums.org?

The installation works, but i cant find rp11 on applications. itried to reinstall, but it seems it's already installed. also the re-installations worked [12:18] where can i read about the autosyncing of packages from debian into ubuntu?

[12:18] !motu > tarzeau (read the private message from ubotu) [12:18] tarzeau: somewhere there (you'll have to dig a little) [12:18] MaicolGorn, as far as streaming wmv, you can do that without realplayer. have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [12:19] yes i do [12:19] i can't get my right speaker and center speaker to play sound... [12:19] MaicolGorn, if all else fails, try VLC. it plays *everything* [12:19] jrib: did you ever use requestsync ?

[12:20] jrib, and it cant open it [12:20] does anyone know where can i get the config used to build the -generic kernel? [12:20] laguha_, if not ip [12:20] jrib: i know about automatic sycns, but i don't know if they can be looked up somewhere [12:20] MaicolGorn, what happens when you try to open the file with VLC? [12:20] is there a log file and the dates when the next syncs will be? [12:20] jrib, but funny thing is when I drag and drop torrent file on azureus it opens it like a charm [12:20] thx [12:20] go you good thing!

[12:27] mad_max02: meh, lots of people are being told to just add the "azureus" command to run torrents and it works for them. Rename your torrent to abc.torrent and see if you still get the error [12:27] rockets tried that. [12:27] babolat, i've to open a video streaming with an other program (i.e. vlc) [12:27] hello, anyone know how to look inside an hard disk image file (ive got sda1.000, sda2.001 ... etc files) without restoring it to a drive? [12:27] Pussss, have you looked through /var/logs [12:27] MaicolGorn, try System -> Preferences -> Sessions [12:27] what's the address? [12:27] tnx [12:28] vinicius: can't really find how to do what you asked. If you really want to know, you can always dig into the nautilus source and just copy the bits you need into a new program [12:28] rockets no, have no idea what that is. Willing to try anything. [12:28] Pussss, drop to a terminal. go to /var/log [12:28] Pussss, if you can, try to SSH into the system to see if it is the display that is frozen or the whole system crashed [12:28] Pussss, in there are various logs, in which you may find relevant errors [12:28] in filesys i dont have preferencs [12:28] Pussss, always a good place to start whenever youre having a problem [12:29] luser it's whole system [12:29] Does anybody know if fglrx still breaks hibernate in 8.04? [12:29] jrib, that woul be a good dig [12:29] *would [12:29] jrib, thanx anyway [12:30] i've to find something like the executable of the vlc [12:30] jrib, really apreciatte the effort [12:30] rockets where can i find these logs? i'm new to linux. completely. [12:30] Pussss, ah ok [12:30] Pussss, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [12:30] i think it's in the filesystem [12:30] Pussss, then type cd /var/log [12:30] MaicolGorn: have u tried a search of ur system? [12:30] yes [12:30] does anyone have surround sound working with Nvidia CK804?? [12:31] babolat, it's incredible, i've installed rp11, but it's invisible!! [12:31] MaicolGorn: even when running from Terminal? [12:31] Pussss: In System->Administration there is an entry called "System Log" that you might find useful. [12:31] manchicken, not if his X keeps freezing [12:31] babolat, how can i find from terminal? [12:32] does anybody know how to install a usb joystick? this is a home-made one (a kind of very small company. it worked on windows with no additional drivers). [12:32] Hi. Does anyone have Hardy running on a dial-up internet modem? [12:32] rockets: That depends on whether his X is currently freezing. [12:32] ah well back to XP [12:32] rockets any other ideas, because i'll have to boot into ubuntu, so while i'm there, i could try something else if that doesnt show anything useful. [12:32] Pussss, unfortunately no [12:32] random freezing doesnt give me/us much to go on [12:33] Pussss, this is using firefox? [12:34] bazhang yeah, it seems to provoke the freeze earlier while using firefox [12:34] rockets what do i do with these logs? [12:34] hi im new to ubuntu and linux .. i recently installed gutsy i guess .. how do i upgrade to the latest ? [12:34] !upgrade | laiyaa [12:34] laiyaa: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [12:34] Pussss, you read them :-D. look for errors. [12:34] is it just me or is firefox a lot more cpu intensive with flash installed [12:34] Pussss, could you try to open ff and see if browsing youtube does it? [12:34] Pussss: If you're trying to use restricted drivers, sometimes those can cause some trouble. [12:34] smmagic, flash for linux is just meh. theres no telling what might happen [12:35] hey [12:35] meh, adobe for you [12:35] smmagic, there is an adobe flash bug that crashes ff so not surprising [12:35] bazhang, That happens to me every second youtube video I watch [12:35] smmagic, yup. thats the bug. [12:35] how do i upgrade to the latest ubuntu ? [12:35] smmagic, if all you care about is youtube, get rid of flash and install gnash. [12:35] Its not just youtube though =\ [12:35] smmagic, you might try installing libflashsupport; some have reported success with that [12:36] hey, i have duplicates in fbpanel, what can i do about it? every menu entry is duplicated [12:36] MaicolGorn: sorry didnt get that last message. try man find [12:36] bazhang, libflashsupport just fixes sound. [12:36] I enjoy my newgrounds, etc. [12:36] bazhang, it has no effect on the crashing [12:36] !upgrade | laiyaa follow this link [12:36] laiyaa follow this link: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [12:36] smmagic, same here. my solution is to use flashblock, so at least ff doesnt crash randomly. [12:36] with 7.10 my computer looses internet connection and without restart i can't get back online. with 8.04 my computer crashes on random time, seems on internet traffic. i have wifi, what could be the problem? [12:36] rockets i doubt that i'll understant what it says [12:36] flashblock is an extension? [12:37] http://markusthielmann.com/blog/defusing_one_most_annoying_bugs_ubuntu_hardy_heron_stop_flash_killing_firefox smmagic this might help [12:37] Pussss, well you could post the contents of certain logs to pastebin.com [12:37] bazhang no, i rarely use youtube [12:37] mk, thanks bazhang [12:37] xrc : maybe your hardware is not or bad supported [12:37] so... kubuntu... is that a good gui distro to try out some Ubuntu gui features? [12:37] Pussss, hmm that is odd; no pattern whatsoever? [12:38] manchicken no, i dont think i use restricted drivers. its a clean install. [12:38] bazhang no [12:38] hooer, it uses kde not gnome [12:38] MaicolGorn: find /some_dir/some_subdir/ -name '*.cpp' [12:38] bazhang, ah.. so if i wanted gnome i'd just use a normal ubuntu live dvd? [12:38] bazhang, So I must install nspluginwrapper? [12:38] so. no body have experience on installing a usb joystick? [12:39] hooer, Ubuntu = Gnome, Kubuntu = KDE, Xubuntu = XFCE === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC [12:39] Wow there are alot of people in here. [12:39] hooer, aye; if you want to try it install kubuntu-desktop; for kde4 (hardy) kubuntu-kde4-desktop [12:39] ticky: most of the time they seem to work as soon as you plug them in. [12:39] hooer, i dont reccomend kde4 for general use yet, and neither do the KDE4 devs [12:39] ticky, for dos box and zsnes yes [12:39] manchicken: yes, that's what i read, but it is not my case [12:39] it sure is pretty though. [12:39] rockets, i just want a DVD i can boot into live, without installing (like Knoppix) [12:40] ticky: You may want to lsusb and see if your model has support. [12:40] RabidWeezle: u there? [12:40] hooer, it has to be a DVD, not a CD? [12:40] it's to do an iscsi test [12:40] hey all [12:40] i have a question regarding firefox widgets [12:40] whenever i try to install any software through the terminal or synaptic my widgets (which i have uninstalled) cause an error and stop any kind of software installation [12:40] i spose a cd is fine too [12:40] where can i see ubuntu supported hardware list? [12:40] I've heard some models have issues with FFB and stuff like that. [12:40] manchicken: i have a generic (kind of homemade) joystick [12:40] if you would like to install more than one package how would it work? ie, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop gobuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop [12:40] jojmoj, which widgets [12:40] firefox-alt-widgets [12:40] pavs, if you do that, its going to install about 100 billion packages. [12:40] pavs aye === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [12:41] thanks :) [12:41] its under the repo in synaptic [12:41] xrc: Try looking on fsf.org's resource page for a hardware compatibility list for GNU/Linux. [12:41] xrc, http://ubuntuhcl.org/ [12:41] test [12:41] !hcl > xrc read the message from ubotu [12:41] xrc, that website isnt official, but its not bad [12:41] manchicken: can you priv. msg me? [12:41] ticky: Why? [12:42] manchicken: i don't want to bother the rest of the channel [12:42] hi! [12:42] It's no bother, I'm sure. [12:42] hi hub [12:42] My joystick experience is limited to a single simple Microsoft-branded joystick which worked like a champ once plugged in. [12:42] manchicken: so when i do lsusb, i get a lot of "Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 " msgs [12:43] i'm getting "Loading of player part 'XinePart' failed" in kaffeine on a fresh mythbuntu installation. couldn't find a solution on the web so fwar. [12:43] Yeah, those would be empty slots. [12:43] gnight all. [12:43] You're looking for something that has non-zero values for the XXXX:XXXX bit. [12:43] 64bit ubuntu is exactly the same as 32bit. I thought it would be faster [12:43] oh well [12:43] There should be a model name, and hopefully a model number, in there too. [12:43] How can I install all ebox modules, in the manual there is a command called sudo apt-get install ebox-all, but it do not work [12:43] manchicken: nothing [12:43] Hub441: deleting .xine from your Home folder with Kaffeine closed has been known to work [12:44] asdrubal, it is faster for some things, like compiling [12:44] asdrubal: A common misconception. 64-bit isn't any faster. [12:44] ticky: Then you don't have it plugged in... [12:44] rockets I compiled mencoder, and true, that is faster, so is encoding x264 :) [12:44] asdrubal, the main benifit of 64 bit is supporting a rediculous amount of RAM [12:44] manchicken: yes, jscalibrator does not detect a thing [12:44] rockets I thought the 16 GP registers would help more than they seem to [12:44] i forget what the upper memory limit for 64 bit is, but its something insanely high [12:44] why can't I use fdisk for a software RAID partition? if not fdisk what can I use? :/ [12:45] manchicken: so. how should i proceed? [12:45] asdrubal, well as my colleague :-D said, 64 bit isnt any faster for most things. [12:45] rockets it's in exabytes. btw, current athlons only support 48bit physical addressing, which supports far less than 64bity [12:45] asdrubal: 64-bit allows the OS to address more memory, but in most cases it also increases the amount of memory used. It also lets us use larger numbers. [12:45] anyone here use snort? It keeps giving me ATTACK-RESPONSES 403 Forbidden [12:45] firefox on 64bit makes no difference (performancewise) than firefox on 32bit (the same for mail programs, spreadsheets, word processors, etc.) [12:45] ticky: Is the joystick currently plugged in completely? === fabian_afk is now known as fabian_a [12:45] asdrubal, ahh. i think i can live without an exabyte of ram :-P [12:46] jatt flash is slower in 64bit because it has to be sandboxed and run through an emulator [12:46] manchicken: i see a red light on === fabian_a is now known as fabian_muc [12:46] ticky: And it's plugged into the USB? [12:46] asdrubal, nspluginwrapper is an emulator? [12:46] manchicken: yep [12:46] rockets I guess it's a wrapper [12:46] rockets: nspluginwrapper is an abstraction layer. [12:46] heh [12:46] babolat: in addition it says "all audio drivers failed to initialize" [12:46] wrapper = abstraction layer [12:47] manchicken, thats what i thought. [12:47] hehe [12:47] tomato tomato. [12:47] babolat: and deleting .xine didn't do it [12:47] ticky: anything show in lsusb ? [12:47] asdrubal: Yeah, but abstraction layer sounds so much cooler than wrapper. [12:47] manchicken, actually its just less understandable :-P [12:47] I wouldn't think so. [12:47] abstraction layers sounds $85,000 a year. Wrapper sounds like working for free [12:47] ere4si: nope [12:48] haha [12:48] your face is an abstraction layer. BURN! [12:48] ticky: have you booted with it in the usb slot? [12:48] Thx [12:48] How can I install all ebox modules, in the manual there is a command called sudo apt-get install ebox-all, but it do not work [12:48] Abstraction layer really gives you more of an idea (if you're unfamiliar with the practice) than "wrapper" does. [12:48] ere4si: nope. may i do that? [12:48] rockets: It probably is. Just my luck. [12:49] Hub441: check that the xine-lib and xine-extracodecs, as well as the win32codecs are installed === _t00r is now known as t00r [12:50] how can i change the XF86AudioRaiseVolume-command? [12:50] ticky: I would - then lsusb [12:50] ere4si: ok. i will do that and get back here [12:50] k [12:51] ere4si and manchicken: thanks for your help a lot. let's see what happens [12:51] where is make.conf in ubuntu? [12:51] ticky: Try unplugging and then plugging it back in, then checking dmesg. [12:51] Bizzeh: there is none [12:51] hi all [12:51] any ideas? [12:52] i have a serious problem with my hardy file system... i need help [12:52] can someone tell me the name of the KDE package? [12:52] x server wont start and file system is in read only mode [12:52] kubuntu-desktop smmagic [12:52] it basically refuses to boot... [12:52] thanks again for the third time bazhang [12:52] :P [12:52] ;] [12:53] noob-africa_ do you get a command prompt? [12:53] in single user mode [12:53] asdrubal: yes, i get in root [12:53] you can do remount -o remount,rw /, then hit cntrl-d and boot up normally [12:53] asdrubal: all bash commands are not recognised [12:53] noob-africa_ but it seems like you have a major problem that needs fixing [12:54] let me try that... [12:54] noob-africa_ remount should be recognized. [12:54] am booting up the desktop right now... this is my laptop, which is still in 7.10 [12:54] if you are successful in doing the remount and get to a desktop.. shutdown properly then reboot again [12:54] to make sure everything is sane [12:55] asd ok... thanks === kompi05 is now known as gerimis [12:55] !tab | noob-africa_ [12:55] noob-africa_: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [12:55] ere4si: i know that feature...brb [12:56] if there is no make.conf, how do i set default march and mtune? [12:56] babolat: can't find libxine-extracodecs (got uni/mutliverse and medibuntu enabled) [12:56] Bizzeh: you set it with gcc and make [12:56] guys, please answer this: where can I check _online_, what packages are installed into a fresh installation of Hardy ? [12:56] and what versions, naturally [12:57] asdrubal: ---> bash: remount: command not found [12:57] Hub441: and you're looking at All Available Apps? [12:57] rsk: what about the default stuff that you normaly set in make.conf, rather than doing it pre-build [12:57] packages.ubuntu.com has them all sledgeas [12:58] Bizzeh: there's ubuntu is nothing like gentoo, there is no make.conf or anything similar [12:58] bazhang: it has ALL the packages. i need to know, which are on the freshly installed box or .iso 1CD image [12:58] there's - [12:58] Hub441: try sudo apt-get install xine-extracodecs [12:58] bazhang: im dealing with the offline installation here [12:58] sledgeas, dpkg -l [12:58] 000000 === Servarium is now known as Tevolution [12:58] noob-africa_ still there? [12:59] babolat: apt-cache doesn't find that package either. [12:59] noob-africa_ mount -o remount,rw [12:59] asdrubal: i tried --> fsck -p <-- output was --> fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2009) /dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced. [12:59] aaaaa, english please [12:59] then the system hangs [12:59] bazhang: this won't list the CD contents, i don't have this box now, is there a way I can do it online, or you guys could help me [12:59] since upgrading to hardy I've been stuck in low graphics mode. This is with an ATI Radeon R420, usin both the open source and restricted drivers.Anyone have any ideas? [12:59] noob-africa_ your hard drive could be messed up [12:59] Hub441: its xine-extracodecs, not *libxine-extracodecs* [12:59] noob-africa_ but mount was the correct command not remount [12:59] mount -o remount,rw [12:59] asdrubal: i realise that... [12:59] babolat: just searched for xine and greped for codecs [12:59] mount -o remount,rw / [12:59] asdrubal: am trying again... [12:59] sledgeas, you dont want to see my dpkg -l as I have kde3 kde4 and gnome :) [12:59] noob-africa_ k [13:00] Hub441: and gave u no xine-extracodecs? [13:00] bazhang: is there a solution then? I need to list CD packages' contents as well [13:00] does anyone knows a greek dictionary? [13:00] sledgeas, why do you need to do this [13:00] babolat: nope [13:01] 000000 [13:01] so i cant set global build instructions? [13:01] !offtopic | aaaaa [13:01] aaaaa: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [13:01] it works!!! :p [13:02] bazhang: i am installing a GUN backgammon (http://debian.mirror.inra.fr/debian/pool/main/g/gnubg/gnubg_0.90-2_i386.deb), and i need to know the un/satisfied dependencies. but i may need to install packages offline in the future, too. can you dir me the deps that .deb files i need to fetch for a successfull offline gnubg installation? [13:02] i have a 1.7TB block volume on XP via iSCSI initiator from Ubuntu :) [13:02] Hub441: its been renamed to lib3b2-extracodecs [13:02] at least.. [13:02] sledgeas, if you go to the site I originally mentioned they have the deps [13:02] sledgeas, ehh you should not be installing debian packages on ubuntu the abi is different [13:03] Could anyone help me get out of low graphics mode? [13:03] ok i need help fixing this error please http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_5.png [13:03] ompaul: there is no other .deb version of gnubg [13:04] bazhang: i know, that but i don't know which1s exactly, and which ones are already shipped with hardy CD (e.g. libsqllite3-0 (>=3.5.7) and many others) [13:04] Hub441: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/x/xine-extracodecs/ [13:04] I get "It seems the dev- or header-package of Wand is not installed." when trying to compile a program, what is wand and where can I download it? [13:05] Hub441: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ [13:05] sledgeas, that site combined with cat dpkg -l > text.txt would narrow it down a bit [13:05] I had installed kubuntu (ie sudo apt-get install kde-desktop) before but now I want to remove kde and all it's components. I try sudo apt-get remove kde-desk and it doesnt remove anything [13:05] sorry installed kde on ubuntu [13:06] sledgeas, then you compile from source and use checkinstall [13:06] !checkinstall | sledgeas [13:06] sledgeas: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [13:06] askand: search for the program you are trying to compile in synaptic, and if it isn't there, search for wand [13:06] cgentry72: try sudo apt-get purge [13:06] Hub441: just go check your private messages [13:06] !puregnome | cgentry72 [13:06] cgentry72: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [13:06] thanks [13:06] virtuald: I have done that with no luck..

[13:07] ompaul: i will still need the deps, and now i will need all the lib*-dev of the deps lolmao, nothing cheering though.. [13:07] asdrubal: i ran the "mount -o remount,rw / " command, and pressed ctrl-d to reboot... it is rebooting but it is claiming "Unclean shutdown, checking drives /dev/sda1" [13:07] askand: search freshmeat.net === roxahris_ is now known as roxandAWAY [13:07] unclemike some limited systems need the text installer simply because they dont have the resources to run the live cd while installing [13:08] For some reason the name of my video card isn't showing up in xorg.conf. I wonder if it's not being detected properly. [13:08] Okay- I have a problem with Hardy and a USB mouse - if I start the computer from a cold boot, it only recognises the mouse after I disconnect and reconnect it. If I restart, reset or even soft power down, I do not need to do this. When I cold start, the mouse ( a logitech trackman) is not even present after running lsusb. Any ideas? [13:08] hey, i just tried to run this inside the linux source directory and i keep getting invalid target "fakeroot make-kpkg –initrd –append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers"... anyone know what the correct command is? [13:08] hi installed america's army, it asks for libstdc++.s.5 read some forums, it tells me to sudo apt-get libstdc++.s.5. .it doesn't exist ?? [13:08] asdrubal: now i have error --> UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY (i.e. without -a or -p options) [13:08] ok was just wounding [13:08] david_-_-, best ask in #winehq about that [13:08] virtuald: nothing over there, all I can find is something called linux-image-2.6.21.5-wand but I do not have that in my repos atleast [13:09] ere4si: hey, i 'm back. no luck. i had to unplug the joystick in order to boot, i was getting a ton of error messages [13:09] hi which is the latest best ubuntu edition and how do i upgrade from gutsy [13:09] aahelp, version 6 is in hardy [13:09] asdrubal: am running that command now... Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes [13:09] laiya - I would go with Hardy. [13:09] ticky: I don't know what you can do then - sorry [13:09] You should be being offered the upgrade in the update manager. I would backup your home directory first if you can - to CD, and then go for it. [13:10] orionrobots: how do i upgrade to hardy ? [13:10] laiya: i would suggest you wait for 3 months before upgading to the latest Ubuntu... i just did, and am struggling to get back to where i was! [13:10] aahelp, it would be 'sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME' and 'libstdc++.s.5' is not going to be the proper package name. use synaptic to search for libstdc perhaps. - I belive the 'AA' game for linux is rather out of date now. You might want to check the Linux/Ubuntu game sites for more info on it.

[13:10] i will check that. [13:10] noob-africa_: whoa what happened ?? but you see im new to ubuntu ... im struggling anyway hehehe [13:10] I have been using Hardy for a few months now, while I have this mouse issue (which also shows on Gutsy) it is otherwise okay for me. === blia_ is now known as flea [13:11] But then I am a bleeding edge earlier adopter so dont listen to me. [13:11] laiya: well, if you are new like me, stick with 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbons) until after three months... ok? [13:11] Its not bad advice.. [13:11] noob-africa_: never even used linux before ... but i like this .. this is how i guess computing should b [13:12] noob-africa_: ok i will [13:12] I would normally say that for any new OS version - stick with the old one for a short while.. The new one will be all singing, all dancing, and will have defect fixes, but may also have teething troubles. [13:12] laiya: u are on point... Linux is the best way to go... so, start with 7.10 [13:12] where do i find the error msgs at boot time? [13:12] Some OS's (V) take a couple of years... [13:12] ticky: search dmesg [13:12] 7.10 served me well for a long while. [13:13] orionrobots: yea... lol.... [13:13] lol [13:13] noob-africa_: yeah ... and im also trying to learn terminal and irssi [13:13] what is the diff btw dmesg and mseg? [13:13] mesg [13:13] asdrubal: i am back on track, but i have a new problem [13:13] //mode $me +x [13:13] The best advice I can give anyone to learn terminal stuff laiya, is to learn to use man and apropos. [13:13] orionrobots: my login window is way too oversized... how do i make it to a normal 1024x768 size? [13:14] Um - you mean the display manager window? [13:14] is KDE 4 in Kubuntu 8.4? [13:14] Try pressing ctrl-alt-"-" to reduce res. I know this works in X, and I think the DM login is also X. [13:14] Eds, there are 2 kubuntu install cds one with 4 one wit 3.x.x [13:14] brb [13:14] Eds, you can always install4 if you want. [13:15] I was just curious if it was in and stable yet [13:15] kde4 is very much a work in progress [13:15] Ah okay :) [13:15] i can not get my geforce 2 mx 100/200 to work, WHY? [13:16] TorErikPaulsen: hey I had one of those ages ago [13:16] had it working in linux in 2002 at least :P [13:16] orionrobots: during login? [13:16] yea i know its old [13:16] hey [13:16] Yes [13:16] how can i get it to work? [13:17] i cannot change anything on my external hdd [13:17] Anyone want to help with my 'low graphics mode' problem? :) [13:17] TorEricPaulsen a geforce 2 mx should work okay. [13:17] What happens with it? [13:17] TorErikPaulsen, it should work with the nvidia-glx-legacy drivers [13:17] i had to mount it manually, since it is not displayed in "media" [13:17] Yeha - what he said. [13:17] TorErikPaulsen: legacy driver [13:17] ? [13:17] the bash asked for root-privileges [13:17] to mount [13:17] noob-africa_: system\administration\screens and graphics....turn on the second screen....set your resolution...turn the second screen back off [13:17] fabian__, depening on the filesystem you must use the proper mount options [13:17] k [13:17] !mount [13:17] 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 [13:18] I msut admit - with all the nvidia stuff, I threw up my hands, and nearly always grab the drivers from nvidia - however, they are not trivial to install... [13:18] So stick with the repo legacy ones for now. [13:18] orionrobots: it blanks out the screen leaving only the "username" and "password" prompts [13:18] what kind of irc client do you use? im new here [13:18] orionrobots, i havent had any problems with my 4 nvidia systems and the repo drivers. :) Your Mileage may vary [13:18] Try video... [13:18] noob-africa_: which version 7.10 or 8.04 [13:18] my problem is, that usually the drive is shown on the desktop, when i plug it in [13:18] TorErikPaulsen, xchat is very popular [13:18] but neither the drive is shown nor can i access the media-folder via dolphin [13:19] Dr_willis I had the wierd purple/green video thing - the repo drivers often lag a little...

[13:19] Xcell: NVIDIA drivers are installed, but the login screen is all bent out of shape [13:19] another vote for xchat - just make sure you get xchat and not xchat-gnome [13:19] ok noob-africa_ go to system\preferences\main menu...check for (screens and graphice) and enable it [13:20] Xcell: i am using NVIDIA drivers, not the ones from Ubuntu repos... i previously had a conflict, all the two drivers were installed [13:20] so am i [13:20] Xcell: and i used EnvyNG to install the drivers [13:20] same here === lordmetroid__ is now known as LordMetroid [13:20] noob-africa_: do you have nvidia settings manager installed?

[13:21] Xcell: no... it's not [13:21] Xcell: do i use synapitic to install it or the terminal?\ [13:21] i would install that from the repros and use the screen #2 to get your log in screen normalized [13:22] Dr_willis: why do the hdd-icons not appear anymore on my desktop? [13:22] i plug my usb-device in [13:22] and nothing happens [13:22] fabian__, which desktop? [13:22] Xcell: can u guide me thru this in private, please? [13:22] fabian__, could be some bug in the auto mounting stuff. I never use desktop icons. :) [13:22] I think the 60Hz refresh on my CRT is giving me a headache. x) [13:22] here are program and drives for creative blaster 5.1 live on linux ?????????/ [13:22] fabian__, or theres some gnome settings also for that. [13:23] Xcell: am going to have to switch PCs... i only have 1 ethernet cable here... lol.... [13:23] Lenos - an SB 5.1 should be fine - what is (or is not) happening? [13:23] Dr_willis: yes, but i also cannot open the media-folder in dolphin [13:23] noob-africa_: synaptic...search (nvidia) install nvidia settings manager [13:23] lenos, my creative soundblaster live 5.1 works fine with no issues. [13:23] Same here. [13:23] Xcell: this is africa, remember? lol [13:23] Anyone running VMware Server 2.x beta on their Ubuntu install? [13:23] lol [13:23] Dr_willis: it says "folder loading 0%" or something like that [13:23] fabian__, sounds like a bug. try the terminal, see whats in /media [13:23] Xcell: so, before i sign out, how do i uninstall the NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA's repos? === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [13:23] with konqueror i can open it via "/media" but not via "media:/" [13:24] you dont have to noob-africa_ [13:24] I'm using raid0 fakeraid (nvraid) for Windows Vista and Ubuntu with two 250GB SATA disks, and I'm thinking about hiding "regular" paritions to the end of the disks - i.e. one NTFS partition of 100GB (in raid), one Ext3 parition of 100 GB (in raid) and the rest - about 260 GB for two separate partitions, written to the end of each disk - this would be achieved by disabling the raid functionality from bios - booting with a ubuntu dvd and manually partitio [13:24] Dr_willis: via bash it works [13:24] Dr_willis: there are these standard-things like cdrom and cdrom0 and some hidden items [13:24] So my question would be, where does nvraid save it's partition info and can I partition the two MBR:s of the physical disks without braking the fakeraid ? [13:25] Xcell: r u sure? i think it may cause a conflict as it did before... because i couldnt change the screen size (then) when i had two different versions of the NVIDIA driver... [13:25] Xcell: mind u, am using an older NVIDIA card... GeForce 6800 [13:25] fabian__, try konqueror - see if it has similer issue. You could always just enter /media/ in the dolphin address bar/path [13:25] noob-africa_: all you need is the nvidia settings manager [13:25] bbl [13:25] Xcell: ok... thanks [13:25] will be back... [13:26] k [13:26] Where do I find Xchat, and nor Xchat gnome? [13:26] synaptic [13:26] Dr_willis: yes, but that does not solve the problem, that other programs cannot acces the drive since the "media:/"-link does not work [13:26] TorErikPaulsen, its in the package manager. [13:26] here are program and drives for creative blaster 5.1 live on linux ?????????/ [13:26] fabian__, 'media:/' is not normally used under kubuntu - it caused too many issues. its best to use /media/ [13:27] lenos, use more ? marks.. it makes people understand better.... :) - that card should work with no extra work lenos if youa re haveing a problem with it - state the problem. [13:28] i do use kubuntu, but the kubuntu-chan is not very helpful... they all seem to be asleep ;-) === Wobe is now known as Wobe_ === Wobe_ is now known as Wobe [13:29] i have a dsl working. i want to share my internet connection to another pc by an other lan card etho2. how do i configure etho2 to give the other pc a static ip? http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/9729/41823606xq6.png please see this ?

I thought that there is a special libc6 library? (libc6xe) [13:32] soppman, why does it matter? the worse they can do is delete their own files. [13:32] thanks, I'll have a look [13:32] how you set a package to be a particular version. ?

[13:32] yum itself?

[13:34] anyone feel like helpen me with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10202/ [13:34] lenos, look in the menus, or se eif theres a speaker/volime control applet in the panels.

I wasn't registered with NickServ [13:34] i'm stuck in low graphics mode.

Im not in any Linux gui at the moment. [13:35] DefineByte: the name wont always show up, just make sure the "fglrx" driver is in the xorg.conf first [13:35] soppman, its best to define what you want them TO be able TO do. i think Since your question is a little vague [13:35] mmm who use ubutu? please help me.. to setup my speakers ..where i must go? === roxandAWAY is now known as roxahris [13:35] Dr_willis, use OOO, firefox, thunderbird and gimp, save files over nfs. thats it :) [13:35] lenos: System/Prefrences/Sound [13:36] Wobe and then?

[13:36] soppman, Hmm.. that would be very hard for them to do. [13:37] Dr_willis, deleting icons etc [13:37] soppman, that wont make it unuseable. [13:37] oh goodie 27 updates [13:37] DefineByte: what graphics card? did you enable restricted drivers for it? [13:37] only 27? [13:37] soppman, install jwm - set up the menu to launch only the apps you want - I guess.. or some other window maanger. [13:37] when i install fglrx, after I restart it shows as enabled under hardware drivers but 'not in use' [13:37] hi what can i use to conver avi to mp4 so that i can play it on my ipod? [13:37] Xcell, yep looks like most of them are for evolution [13:37] i've tried open source and fglrx [13:38] DefineByte: I had that problem [13:38] exco: how'd you fix it? :) [13:38] lenos: once in that window, at the bottom try the different device settings and do the sounds tests, through trial and error you should get it working, try alsa or pulseaudio for the defaults. [13:39] DefineByte: what will get rid of your problem (most certainly) is if you deinstall fglrx and use EnvyNG to reinstall it (don't forget to reboot after deinstalling/installing), but thats not the optimal solution [13:39] DefineByte: Did you try to use envy to install? [13:39] btw [13:39] how do i make icons on the desktop? [13:39] for firefox etc [13:39] can someone help me with this error i am getting http://paste.ubuntu.com/10202/ [13:39] never used envy before [13:39] soppman: right click and say add to panel or add to desktop [13:40] DefineByte: Envy is simple and does all the work for you, and it works most of the time... [13:40] Wobe, right click on what? the firefox bin file? [13:40] soppman: the icon in the menu [13:40] Wobe: thanks. I'll give it a shot. :) [13:40] wobe. PM PLEASE [13:40] excuse-me [13:41] when i can speak italian [13:41] ? [13:41] david_-_-, looks like a wine problem did you ask in the wine channel? [13:41] Wobe, thanks :) [13:41] DefineByte: I now have it working using only the fglrx drivers from the repositories - I manually configured Xorg.conf - so you might have to do some reading (-> ubuntuforums.org) [13:41] why doesn't ruby start at me?

[14:05] conky cpro a bit like it [14:05] !appdb | david_-_- [14:05] david_-_-: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [14:05] bazhang: it worked fine before i had a little prob with the game speeding up but after i did that code then it messed up [14:05] noob-africa_: go to System --> Preferences --> Sound [14:05] ah, ive mostly done all of my web related stuff in a code editor [14:05] bazhang how about screen let is that good [14:05] noob-africa_: there you can test your sound [14:05] and see if ubuntu detects your soundcard at all [14:05] bazhang, now i just get "libdvdread: Could not open /dev/scd0 with libdvdcss." [14:05] does anybody have a solution to my graphic card?? have an geforce 2 mx 100/200, and I have tried to install the legacy drivers, without succes [14:06] if you can't find an alternative you could always try running it in wine [14:06] david_-_-, you need to actually read that linked site and what it says about your game on hardy [14:06] krimzon: so no program like dreamweaver exist for ubuntu? [14:06] i don't know if one does or not [14:06] nvu might have a linux version [14:06] pppZero, did you read the link I gave you? [14:06] the driver does not work, and I still get 640px [14:06] bazhang: i cant find it in there [14:06] nvu? [14:06] david_-_-, then it may not work well [14:07] I am now running Gutsy, what would you say would be the benefits of running Hardy instead? :) [14:07] bazhang, yes, and i still cant watch movies :) [14:07] negge^: the first test brings up -- > audiotestsrc wave=sine freq 512! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback [14:07] nvu is a web related editor [14:07] askand, depends on how well gutsy works for you [14:07] jrib: after editing a file in /etc/cron.d/ do I have to do anything else like restart some service or something? [14:07] bazhang: works good [14:07] noob-africa_: are you using the ALSA driver? [14:07] negge^, no, just ensure you have the right syntax for the cronjob [14:08] pppZero, you installed libdvdcss2? that should do it along with libdvdread3 [14:08] unop: okay [14:08] bazhang: as i said i have ran it well in wine for about 2 weeks till i did that command then it messed up the files i need to know how to replace the file that is messed up or how to repair it. [14:08] negge^: well, it seems that it is not installed... yes... ALSA [14:08] jrib: it works now! thanks for your help! [14:08] negge^: i downloaded it from the ALSA page... for Sound Blaster Audigy [14:08] bazhang, tried the script, twice now, and tried to even install libdvdcss from medibuntu, same result all 3 times [14:08] negge^: compiled the source, made and installed it [14:09] bazhang: so sorry forgive me for getting rude with you i been up all nite and am tired of these bugs i am having [14:09] david_-_-, no clue here never use wine--> the experts are in another channel but as you said in your post that is a 'runaround' so wont suggest you ask them ;] [14:09] noob-africa_: ALSA should be installed by default [14:09] you sure you didn't mess it up when you downloaded it and compiled and installed it? [14:09] My Audigy 2zs sound card has worked fine in linux for ages. [14:09] bazhang: i am really sorry please i beg you please forgive me.

I am having trouble getting a simple config to work (allow a specific port to come in) [14:11] bazhang: its to late i am full linux if i try to install windows it will over write linux and i will lose everything [14:11] Dr_willis: XYZZY is the variable part of the file.

[14:23] stbain, that's correct. I can click on the logout button, get the dialog but when I click on logoff or shutdown or reboot everything shuts down except the wallpaper and it sits there until I use the ctrl+alt+backspace [14:23] oi [14:23] askand: from what ive seen, yes, but a fresh install works great [14:24] does xinerama affect 3d performance? [14:24] stbain, logout seems to work fine. It's just shutting down totally that doesn't work [14:24] scunizi, bjb1959: OK, so you log out, it's at the login screen, then from the login screen you select to shutdown or restart and it hangs. [14:24] bazhang: is there a way i could save my settings like for my vid and sound and stuff to a dvd as data and thn pull them off to reinstall the os. and that way i dont have to go through the heart ach to reinstall them [14:24] jrib: I now have two different cronjobs, can I put them in the same file or do they have to be in separate files?

[14:25] david_-_-, like a clone? you can /msg ubottu clone for info on that [14:25] stbain, no.. I've never tried that.. just click the icon in the upper right, choose shutdown and ... hang at spalsh [14:25] stbain, actually no, after I use the key combo it goes ahead and reboots or logs out or shutsdown whichever I chose from the dialog [14:25] hi, did somebody see this error when trying to discover vnc servers with vinagre (on Hardy): Browsing for service type _rfb._tcp in domain my_domain.com failed: DNS failure: NXDOMAIN [14:25] negge^: same is fine [14:26] galera tem como eu instalar o beryl no ubuntu 7.10..?

[14:28] yes [14:28] Dimensions: yeah [14:29] scunizi: If it works from the login screen, then I would venture to say you have an application that is refusing to shut down in your session. It's just a matter of figuring out which application it is and moving forward from there [14:29] Dimensions, "over" [14:29] stbain, did you get my response? [14:29] stbain, ok.. that helps too.. thanks..

You've been asking for help with it for quite some time now. All of the people in this channel are volunteers, and I don't think anyone is going to be able to help you nail down the problem.

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [14:44] stbain, there's already a bug on it.. [14:44] allo, I'm browsing gnome-look for some cool ipod icon, but I cannot find a thing.. Does anyone have a clue where I might look? Preferably a human/tango style icon.. [14:44] scunizi: have a link? [14:44] yo ! [14:44] user is admin (created durnig install ) and after reboot user cannot unlock users-admin [14:44] is there a replacement for midnight commander (mc) ? [14:44] stbain, use too. . do you suffer from that issue? [14:44] filthpig, what about on some of the apple sites? [14:45] neither sudo users-admin nor gksu users-admin works [14:45] scunizi: no, but this is the second day in a row I've been trying to find a solution for bjb. I'm kind of curious myself. [14:45] steph291, why a replacement, can't you get it in the "universe" [14:45] ? [14:45] no [14:45] it also apply to time-admin and so [14:46] apt-cache search mc return nothing [14:46] scunizi: curoius... what is bjb again? i seem to have missed it reading back [14:46] user also is in groups adm,admin and policykituser [14:46] steph291: apt-cache show mc ... make sure you have universe enabled. [14:46] stbain, my solution that was mentioned in the report was to ctrl+alt+numlock or shift+alt+numlock.. that takes the numberkey pad out of cursor mode. [14:46] * mojo never thought he'd be frustrated because his box is TOO secure, lol [14:46] universe, what's that [14:46] !universe [14:46] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

I can however C-2 and login without it. initctl list shows tt1 (stop) waiting tty[2-6] (start) running, and rc2 (start) running. [14:48] this happens every time I boot. Anyone know what I can do to boot successfully? [14:48] stbain: Thanks. I thought that beryl took control of it and you had to do it in some other way. [14:48] steph291: they are sections like 'main' 'contrib' and 'non-free'... ubuntu has 'main' 'restricted' 'universe' and 'multiverse' [14:48] bazhang: ? [14:49] hey there... a quick question.. is there a way to find out in the bash (without mounting a device) to check out the drive inf? (e.g. the ATA ST 340016A and something more to be able to identify the drive contents) [14:49] bazhang: I'm reading planet ubuntu, but I can't find any details there [14:49] if WITH mounting.. thatś ok too [14:49] is there a reminder utility in ubuntu? [14:49] e-gandalf: planet.ubuntu.com ... probably people are discussing it... I don't think the prague meetings are for normal users though, do you have a project to talk about for the meetings?

[14:54] synaptic [14:54] / apt-get [14:54] that include the sound from when you start ubuntu [14:54] fde: can you tell me something from the previous ones?

I'd like to find out if a friend's computer is still on hardy pre-stable release. [15:09] but when i use windows xp it connects easily [15:10] Is there a way to find out? they aren't sure they ran the update tool [15:10] paolo, check samsung's site.. they have linux drivers and instructions for installing on ubuntu.. not sure if the scanner will totally function [15:10] nemo, what kernel uname -r will tell you or lsb_release -a [15:10] nemo update manager would send request a to install the newest release if they are still on rc [15:10] i downloaded drivers from samsung [15:10] bazhang: their kernel stubbornly stayed on 2.6.24-16 which is why I wondered [15:10] k20a: I'd think so too, unless something... went wrong... [15:10] nemo, that is the right one :) [15:10] bazhang: ok. thought they were supposed to be on -17 like me [15:10] paolo printers are sometimes not supported but there is a list u can find on the net [15:10] ubuntu live cd comes with md5sum? [15:10] but when i try to execute the autorun file it just hangs for a few seconds then does nothing [15:10] bazhang: architecture mask? [15:10] paolo, did you follow thier instructions? [15:11] nemo, that is proposed right? [15:11] paolo, are you using sudo at the beginning of the line? [15:11] bazhang: don't think so. all my hardy machines are on -17 [15:11] i'm not using the terminal [15:11] bazhang: except theirs [15:11] i had ubuntu installed on one paritition and just installed windows on another. how do i get it to boot up with grub again? [15:11] i'm trying to do it by xwindows === cdere is now known as silverfix [15:11] bazhang: but, if you think -16 is stable too, won't worry about it. [15:12] what would a good dock for gnome be? whatever i am using now looks cool but it stays open even though its on autohide [15:12] nemo, the standard one is -16 [15:12] paolo, you have to do it from terminal. follow the instructions on the samsung site. [15:12] okay i'm gonna go to sleep soon... so nobody here is handy with this ufw firewall tool? (I tried installing firestarter and it is not helping either, ugh!) [15:12] bazhang: curious. wonder what's up with my machines then :) [15:12] scunizi, thx [15:12] ;] [15:12] Hi, can anyone tell me how to install the apr_dbd_mysql driver in ubuntu/debian? [15:12] scunizi, i'll try to find those informations, even if there is a lack of them overe there [15:13] scunizi, ;) [15:13] Greetings. A very simple question: Is there a way to search the command history in shell? I mean I've ran a command in shell a couple of days ago and I'd like to retrieve the same command. [15:13] ZaphodBeeblebrox: ctrl-R [15:13] ZaphodBeeblebrox: or grep of ~/.bash_history :) [15:13] anyone knows why the suspend mode freeze my laptop ? [15:13] ZaphodBeeblebrox: ... you closed the shell that you ran the command in since then, and opened a new one, right? [15:13] or if you can remember some of it, type some and TAB [15:14] hi, i am a complete newbie. i have a friend who has a virus infested computer running xp. he would normally just format his c: drive, but he has lots of pictures of his daughter that he would like to keep. i had the idea of booting with and installing ubuntu, then deleting everything except the pictures. would that work? if so, how would it be done? thanks [15:14] !grub | charlie [15:14] charlie: 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 [15:14] ubuntu live cd comes with md5sum? [15:14] Whoa! That's awesome!!! :D [15:14] rchrd: that's cool. autocomplete also includes bash history? that's clever [15:14] ZaphodBeeblebrox: there is a history command too, but i haven't used it [15:14] rchrd: they keep adding more functions to that simple concept [15:14] how can I view adobe pdf files in firefox in Hardy? [15:14] scunizi, i tried to execute it from the shell, but i can't find a way to execute it [15:14] nemo: yes [15:14] thanks bazhang [15:14] rchrd: my fav is tab complete of scp [15:14] rchrd, try a liveCD and move the pix to a USB stick [15:14] rchrd: just load the Desktop cd, mount the windows partition, and then make a backup of the pictures [15:14] scunizi, isn't enough to get to the directory then type the name of the file? [15:14] It worked in a very charming way heh Thanks guys! [15:15] rchrd, better to copy pictures to usb key, install ubuntu, run the pictures or whatever through linux antivirus done [15:15] if he's got two optical drives, you could even burn the pix to CD [15:15] * mojo can't wait until ZaphodBeeblebrox discovers tab completion [15:15] rofl [15:15] ZaphodBeeblebrox: so is it true? are two heads better than one? [15:16] i'm trying to execute a script from the shell, but i can't find a way to execute it [15:16] how can I view adobe pdf files in firefox in Hardy? [15:16] last night I reformatted my ext. hdd from ntfs to ext3.. Before reformatting the disk it showed like "Seagate FreeAgent" on my system, but now it's just "250 gb media" on the desktop and or "disk" under System and I can't rename it.. Can I use the labelfunction under gparted to fix it? [15:16] rchrd, or what jrib said [15:16] isn't enough to get to the directory then type the name of the file? [15:16] folks thanks for all of your replies, but to be honest, the only one I understand is donak's. that sounds like a perfect idea. after moving them to a memory stick, will it then be evident how to wipe the disk with the exception of the ubuntu installation? [15:16] mojo: Not when the subject is discovering the secrets of shell heh [15:16] or is there a command to do it? [15:16] so what is the difference between fedora and ubuntu.. fedora takes 10 minutes to install... ubuntu 1 hour... how come? [15:16] paolo: ./command [15:17] !pastebin [15:17] 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) [15:17] rchrd, once you save the pix ... wipe it any way you want ... but if you're going to install Ubuntu and used that liveCD, it's got an install icon on the desktop [15:17] azuki, what kind of computer do you have? I installed ubuntu8.04 last night and it took 15-20 mins [15:17] ok, sounds like a great idea. thanks very much [15:17] hi. i'm watching a video in full screen, the cpu% for xorg is 92, the one for vlc is 29. that's 121% :( [15:17] < using 8.04 Hardy Heron right now :-) [15:17] paolo: the reason you have to run it that way is because in linux, your current directory is not considered part of the path. (I think) so, adding the ./ tells the shell where the command is [15:18] use mplayer instead [15:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/10224/ [15:18] one more question. if he boots to the live cd, will he be able to see the jpgs easily, since they are in the windows file system? [15:18] hello [15:18] rchrd, make two copies of the pix, they're irreplaceable, I presume [15:18] jatt: (talking to me?) no, it's a hardy problem. everything was fine in gutsy [15:18] danbhfive: a-ha, got it [15:18] yes, I am sure they are [15:18] q [15:19] filthpig: I 8.04 is a lot slower in running on my pc.. so I decided to try fedora.. but I tells you... it was installed a lot faster.. maybe even 2 minutes.. REALLY fast.. I couldnt believe it.. obviously without updating.. but imagine just copying the live-disc to the HD... and thatś it [15:19] should automount the drive [15:19] thx a lot, goin' to try it [15:19] i am afraid I have no idea what that means [15:19] might be an icon on the desktop, otherwise it would be under "media" in the directory tree [15:19] anyone with the patience to help a linux noob? haveing some sound card issues in hardy.. trying to only make my onboard card active, but it keeps useing my creative card for some apps.. (like games).. for music/video/os sounds it uses the onboard.. [15:19] rchrd, which bit was confusing? [15:19] azuki-> you can do similar with ubuntu copying the livecd into a hd and boot off if if you had an exisisting linux at hand [15:20] I have finished installing hardy inside of windows. Is there a way of accessing my windows in ubuntu? [15:20] Hello. Who is eligible to change bug status at launchpad (for Ubuntu) from new to confirmed? I discovered a bug and it is a bug for me too. Can I change it to "confirmed"? [15:20] or could be in the "places" menu at the top [15:20] I have finished installing hardy inside of windows. Is there a way of accessing my windows files in ubuntu? [15:20] azuki, I think the fedora install is much smaller than the ubuntu one, and they prolly use some other technique, but, as I said, installing ubuntu has never taken me more than 20 mins [15:21] Kpoxman, are you launchpad member? you likely need to discuss with bug owner [15:21] hi [15:21] metroside : could be in the "places" menu at the top [15:21] filthpig: yea.. I was probably overeacting with the 1 hour... but also with the 10 minutes :) [15:21] excuse me, bazhang, i did not see your reply. i am not used to irc yet. yes, your reply is perfectly comprehensible. i did not know that ubuntu comes with antivirus. that's great [15:21] I had now almost all linuxes running.... [15:21] any another client for Gmail account without Pidgin? [15:22] suse beeing the most hard / hardware dependend [15:22] Anyone knows if I can use ubuntu/ekiga to replace my VoIP-router+analogue telephone ?!... [15:22] Don-Corleone, irc cleint or mail only client [15:22] and uptill now ubuntu 7.04 was the best... 8.04 is slower.. (how come?) [15:22] I would like to burn DVD/CDs from a remote machine. Is it possible to share a DVD/CD burner from Ubuntu Hardy? [15:22] i give up for now... gotsta sleep.. peace ppls [15:22] one thing that I found great about ubuntu is : usb quickam express module ... I don't have to compile/install, automatic ! it's already there after installation as bttv :) [15:22] donak the other computers on the network are in there, but no windows [15:22] bazhang, like pidgin just for gmail [15:22] have tried modifiying the alsa-base file setting the sound card i want as default (or whatever), and disableing the other typeing something like index=1 and index=-2 (even tho i dont really know what im doing.. ;) [15:23] I believe 8.04 itś only changes are itś dependence to run on higher (newer) end pcś [15:23] still keeps resetting to the card i dont want.. [15:23] less complient with older machines [15:23] hmm if i had a ubuntu box with no proper internet address is there some kind of reverse ssh or connect back ssh method i could use rather than forwarding ports ?

[15:47] Can someone explain to me the idea of having "subversions" separate from the main program release? I'm thinking of SWScanner, from www.swscanner.org, where I downloaded and installed the main version (0.2.2) and it didn't work for many reasons; so I wrote the author, and he told me it was a known bug and to use the "svn" version. Are "svn" versions considered beta or something, or why not... [15:47] ...just make the svn version the main released version if it is less buggy? [15:47] jaffarkelshac: for i in *; do mv "$i" "$i".a; done [15:47] jaffarkelshac: rename 's/$/.a/' * (but try it on a test bunch first) [15:48] John_S: svn=subversion [15:48] John_S: svn is how developers collaborate and save history of changes [15:48] I think I did a mistake, I've tried to removed .gvfs, I don't have any toolbar now [15:48] im trying to disable a sound card in hardy.. it keep resetting sound setup for it, and i want to use my onboard.. anyone about to guide me trough it? [15:48] John_S: svn versions are generally less stable and prone to having bugs [15:48] boris, that does not make sense - ctrl alt F1 >>> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade <<< then CTRL Alt F7 [15:48] thanks hydrogen and ejer i will try that [15:48] John_S: svn is the code they are actually working on, so it is alpha more than beta [15:48] however, in tha open source world svn versions tend to actually work better [15:48] kitche: Yes, thanks I know the two are the same. :) [15:48] because of this fun thing that people call qa being non existant [15:48] John_S: so it's the developer version pretty much he saying it's fixed in the developer version [15:49] ompaul: i just restart X when something is wrong [15:49] jaffarkelshac: for i in $(ls) ; do echo $i $i.a ; done , it changes all files in directory [15:49] hydrogen: YOU are the QA, as we all are [15:49] ejer: that makes no sense [15:49] jaffarkelshac: and offcourse after you have tested that echo change it to mv [15:49] simplexio: no, it doesn't [15:49] simplexio: that makes absoultely no sense as a command [15:49] jrib: svn is a source code management system (like cvs and others). So to try a svn version is to try the most up to day code (that fixes bugs but can have others) [15:49] ejer, screen is a terminal emulator? [15:49] hydrogen: welcome to open source [15:49] ejer: No, you don't get it [15:49] tobago: screen is a virtual terminal... [15:49] Anyone able to get the Bridged interface working for VMWARE ???? [15:49] John_S: see what erUSUL said :) [15:50] !ot [15:50] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:50] ejer: and its irrelevant to my comment [15:50] hydrogen: ok thank you [15:50] hydrogen: care to explain why that would work [15:50] Hi, how do i use authorizations to access a ntfs win32 partition ? [15:50] jrib: sorry :| [15:50] !ntfs > auhelpme (read the private message from ubotu) [15:50] tobago: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 [15:50] John_S: svn is a source code management system (like cvs and others). So to try a svn version is to try the most up to day code (that fixes bugs but can have others) [15:50] simplexio: 1) $(ls) is a much stranger way than using globbing, 2) thats just going to print the old name and the new name, not actually move them [15:51] hydrogen: for i in *; do mv "$i" "$i".a; done worked like a charm [15:51] hydrogen: like i sayd few lines after that, replace echo to mv and it really does something [15:51] jaffarkelshac: yay :) [15:51] hydrogen: and yes i tested it to be sure [15:51] jrib, hydrogen, kitche, ejer, erUSUL: OK Thanks! That makes much more sense now. So essentially it's like ejer said, more of alpha release since it's the newest changes, correct? [15:52] John_S: yes. [15:52] nite [15:52] John_S: not really [15:52] John_S: it is bleeding edge if you check out what they call HEAD [15:52] however, as you see... sometimes It actually behaves better [15:52] hi, is there a channel for upgrade problems with 6.06 to 8.04? [15:52] trying setup(hd0,5) when trying to reinstall my GRUB results in Error 22: no such partition [15:52] ldap utterly tanks at the end - I see a bug open about it, but no resolution. [15:52] if there are any openldap experts, would appreciate some help [15:52] besides, its good idea to give those potentialy destructive commands first in form that dosent broke anything [15:52] John_S: yep; it mainly depends on how the leader manages the project maybe the svn trunk (main branch) is not that alpha and there exists other branches more instables [15:53] please tell me if you think this is funny or not? be honest!! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247804 [15:53] erUSUL: yet still, unreleased code is, in theory, less tested than release code === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [15:53] nxusr: off topic [15:53] hydrogen: yes [15:53] ejer: I see, I'm not entirely familiar with all the program release conventions for naming, but that makes sense. [15:54] nxusr, not here please [15:54] I think I did a mistake, I removed .gvfs by mistake, I don't have any toolbar now in gnome, just the desktop, what I could do fix this ? :-/ [15:54] John_S: in general, unless you know you need the svn version, it is more stable to stick with releases [15:54] is this the correct channel for noob questions or is there a more appropriate channel for folks with less than average cluefulness? [15:54] hydrogen: no it can be tested just look at the -STABLE branches of the BSD's :) [15:54] ejer: OK, got it, so I did the right thing by at least trying the released version first. :) [15:54] LMJ: I am not 100% sure, but I think .gvfs is recreated at boot... anyone else know? [15:54] kitche: and yet, its _less_ tested than the released version. [15:55] which is what I said [15:55] I'd say so John_S [15:55] ive been having this problem, mp3s no longer play, they used to and now they dont, i read somthing about using the command gst-register? but not to sure how that works, any help would be great [15:55] where is bitchx and xmms in Ubuntu 8.04 can't see them in the repositories [15:55] Hi All, just completed a install of Hardy inside of windows and I allocated 7 Gig and after booting into Hardy I have 1.7 gig left.

[15:55] Kevorkian: ask away if someone can help they will [15:55] ejer : so, maybe it's a .gvfs related issue [15:55] LMJ: I would try a reboot for kicks [15:56] test [15:56] mark__: xmms is not there anymore (old unmainteined) try bmp or audacious [15:56] hey... i'm having trouble with microphone configuration and such. audacity won't record anything ("Error while opening sound device.

In your case, the partition where Windows is installed comes first. So logically your BIOS gets to Windows first.

[17:26] CShadowRun: how long have you been here? [17:26] hmm [17:26] How can i get the bug report when a program crashes? [17:26] hm... gksudo seems to not work [17:26] avernos: gksu -u user command [17:26] magnetron alot of hours :p [17:26] <_moro_bana_> is it possible to restore ubuntu to an ealier date? [17:26] !patience | CShadowRun [17:26] CShadowRun: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:26] CShadowRun: come back later and ask again. [17:26] _moro_bana_: without a backup? [17:26] RC: you can use both simultaneously. Or more... like xfce4, gnome and kde on the same machine [17:27] Is there any major issure with loading my video driver (nvidia) in my initramfs ........? [17:27] thanks JATT [17:27] i still get a No protocol specified [17:27] CShadowRun: Also, try #nvidia ... but again, they're volunteers also. [17:27] anyone know what can it be, if the mouse don't work correctly in enemy-territory (just some buttons dont work and if i move around fast my pic is laggying) xorg.conf http://rafb.net/p/bNrPup83.html im using hardy ... [17:27] tried there too [17:27] do i have to start the xserver for the user? [17:27] <_moro_bana_> ejer: yes, i dont have a backup.maybe using a live disc? [17:27] gksu/gksudo brings up "starting admin..." in the taskbar but nothing occurs. [17:27] it's just getting very long and frustrating for such a simple problem [17:27] _moro_bana_: a reinstall is all I can think of [17:27] and i've asked a bunch of questions today, nobody has answered any of them === userek1 is now known as userek [17:27] trying to fix my hosts file so i can sudo, but i can't gksudo to sudo *holds head* [17:27] CShadowRun: Obviously it's not very simple if no one knows... [17:27] how can i get transparency in compiz-fusion? i have the composite extension enabled, but terminals and such just show black. [17:28] <_moro_bana_> ejer: lol, a reinstall will bring me problems [17:28] getting graphics drivers to work != simple? [17:28] taime1: Compiz is a window manager.... [17:28] anyone here has experiences with vlans running linksys switches? the switch i use can handle tag-based vlans (802.1q). does it include thy can handle port-based vlns? [17:28] frenzy: when a program does a SIGSEGV the kernel will dump the core into either a core file (this is disabled by default on ubuntu) or into a special program which has been configured at /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern [17:28] I can't get VirtualBox working. The kernel modules provided by synaptic are for 2.6.24-16, but the current kernel is 2.6.24-17 and the source provided by the repos won't compile with module-assistent. Any thoughts? [17:28] _moro_bana_ Why do you ask? [17:28] getting screens to maximize properly isn't simple either? [17:28] fde what was the point of that statement? [17:28] CShadowRun: Not really considering Nvidia refuse to tell us anything important about the driver. [17:28] CShadowRun: did you use the nvidia settings manager to do this [17:28] omg -_- [17:28] taime1: It doesn't provide anything to the applications themselves? [17:28] i used to have an ati and i had issues with that [17:29] and everyone in here told me to get an nvidia [17:29] now i have an nvidia you are whining about that too [17:29] thats not what i asked tho [17:29] CShadowRun: i am running twinview right now, works great [17:29] fde: applications can set an alpha channel, then compiz will draw the transparent parts transparent [17:29] CShadowRun: You should have gotten Intel... they publish their drivers... ATI is going to be getting better too apparently... nvidia has no intentions of working with FOSS in the forseable future. [17:29] libvte (gnome-terminl) does that [17:30] heh === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso [17:30] mnemo: um, so how can i access that, i'm still new. do i have to install a program to grab the data? [17:30] so why did people tell me to get an nvidia then? [17:30] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: because i wanted a way of fixing my system without reisntalling, it difficult to get internet working on a fresh install, i dont know how i did it for this install. === Mr_SpOOn[nonciso is now known as Mr_SpOOn [17:30] fde, does intel even sell discrete graphics card [17:30] CShadowRun: For things that work, Nvidia are very good... when there are issues, Nvidia users are sol [17:30] Daisuke_Laptop: not yet [17:30] ati is a pain in the neck [17:30] CShadowRun, because until extremely recently, nvidia was a far better choice than ati [17:30] well it's apparently not working :p [17:31] ejer: I had originally asked about the filesystem boot procedure, that is how the filesystems are mounted during Heron boot. Would you know about that? [17:31] _moro_bana_ Ok [17:31] CShadowRun: nvidia works fine u did not answer my Q did u use nvidia settings manager [17:31] CShadowRun: Yup, so you have to wait for their next driver and hope it fixes it... [17:31] ati is now improving now that they have made all of their specs available (which will accelerate development of an open driver) [17:31] not being able to maximize a window is pretty annoying :p [17:31] CShadowRun: nvidia works fine for me, perhaps there is a config issue? did you pastebin your xorg.conf? i missed the link if you did === susanoo is now known as Yatas [17:31] Ecclesiastes: probably but I don't get your question [17:31] ushimitsudoki, it all depends on the card as well [17:31] ushimitsudoki i'll paste it now. [17:31] Daisuke_Laptop: yes, seeing the xorg.conf is one way to check on that, no? [17:32] ejer, again, not all nvidia cards "work fine" [17:32] anyone here uses paltalk or recommend using paltalk? what about skype? are they trying to screw up my speaking skills? [17:32] Daisuke_Laptop: Currently, ATI haven't released much of anything useful, so Nvidia is still a better choice than ATI [17:32] your speaking skills? [17:32] Daisuke_Laptop: ok... well I have never had one that does not, and I have at least 10 nvidia machines here [17:32] ushimitsudoki http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=15389 [17:32] hp, dell, lenovo and others asked their manufacturors to create good open source drivers for linux [17:33] I still haven't found 3D support for my ati radeon [17:33] what am i doing wrong if the transparency does not work in compiz-fusion? [17:33] so I hope that will help [17:33] hey any of u know wat program i can use in ubuntu to replace idm or orbit? [17:33] ejer, same here, but a lot of the newer cards are a pain [17:33] damn and I bought the laptop almost three years ago [17:33] anyone here uses paltalk or recommend using paltalk? what about skype? are they trying to screw up my speaking skills? [17:33] idm (internet download manager) [17:33] aasdfas: back when I did a lot of VOIP, I liked Skype very much [17:33] ushimitsudoki http://www.nomorepasting.com/getpaste.php?pasteid=15389 linking it again incase the netsplit made you miss it :p [17:33] jatt, what chipset? [17:33] ejer: during boot, the heron LiveCD can find the drive, but my installed Heron doesn't. If I could find out what the normal procedure was I could fix the problem. [17:33] Villa: depends, what do those apps do? [17:33] 200m or 1100? [17:33] CShadowRun: I am looking at it now [17:33] kk :) [17:33] _moro_bana_ If you do have to do a REINSTALL .. consider creating "/" "/home" AS PRIMARY and a "/swap" [17:33] Villa: you can use gwget as a download manager. [17:33] Daisuke_Laptop: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M [17:34] umm internet download managers...they can pause downloads, get alot faster download speed etc [17:34] any clues please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/10277/ [17:34] sukuri paltalk users said sype sucks [17:34] jatt: that is supported by fglrx ... I had one, took back the box due to frustrations though. [17:34] Villa: wget [17:34] Ecclesiastes: if the drive REALLY can't be found, you would seem to have a driver issue... but this seems very very unlikely. Have you checked cabling? [17:34] wget is a command [17:34] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: i use kvpnc to connect to a vpn for internet. on my recent installs on other partitions, the kvpnc shows its connected but the system doesn't go through [17:34] Villa: gwget is a GTK frontend to wget [17:34] _moro_bana_ That way your configure is glued to your "/home" directory if you use Synaptic [17:34] ooooo thx and my bad [17:35] fde: cool will try the latest proprietary drivers! [17:35] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: please explain further [17:35] plop all :) [17:35] ejer: yes, the cabling is fine and to repeat: LiveCD mounts the drive without any problems at all. [17:35] Villa: yes wget is a command. [17:35] jatt: There is of course no DRI support yet... [17:35] anyone know how to view the local network and maybe connect to local machines through the terminal? and will it be a problem if i try connecting to a local machine running windows xp [17:35] CShadowRun: This is the latest xorg.conf as generated by nvidia-settings? No hand-changes? [17:35] jatt: so you need to use the proprietary drivers... [17:35] no changes, opened the file, copied and pasted it. [17:35] hi all im an inexperienced linux user but i want to give hardy heron a go [17:35] ompaul: I was just about to do that ;-) [17:35] havn't ever manually edited it, i don't have the skill :p [17:36] _moro_bana_ ok I'll search for the information.. please wait [17:36] fde: what is DRI good for? I've never understood that. Can I have 3D without DRI? [17:36] ubuntu__: what are your current reservations? [17:36] Myrtti, see pm ;-) [17:36] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: ok [17:36] don't install hardy yet, it has too many bugs === ubuntu__ is now known as PokerWolf [17:36] im told by wines app db to get silkroad working i have to remove xdg-utils - what is it? [17:37] magnetron, I cannot write em with nautilus burner. [17:37] jatt: DRI provides direct rendering... it is required to use the full capabilities of the hardware for any graphics card... [17:37] anyone know how to view the local network and maybe connect to local machines through the terminal? and will it be a problem if i try connecting to a local machine running windows xp [17:37] ghabit: ok, but how do you know that something's wrong? do you get any error messages? [17:37] jatt: the fglrx and nvidia drivers support this... just make sure you load it via 'fglrx' in /etc/modules [17:37] Dianabol you need samba afaik [17:38] im just doing a live install and im a little concerned about the partitioning part, i dont want my windows partition affected at all [17:38] magnetron, it returns error, but not informative. "Error writing". [17:38] Dianabol: There are no special problems with doing that, no. [17:38] jatt: but yeah... 'radeon' doesn't support your card because of the shared memory features of the 200M... they can't figure out what is accomplishing that... [17:38] hey all - everytime I connect my external hard drive, I get a "you are not privileged to mount this volume" error [17:38] frenzy, that's not for you to decide - most installs are working just fine, you just see a very vocal minority here pointing out bugs that are serious, but limited to a pretty small subset of users. [17:38] cshadowrun: is this already in main repo? and its terminal based correct? [17:38] jatt: It's lame, because the 200G works... heh [17:38] ravi, are you a part of the "Wheel" group? [17:38] fde: I see will try. The other problem I had with ati was hibernation... my laptop locked I briefly remember that had something to do with the graphics card. My next buy will have a nvidia card for sure :) [17:38] i have a suse install on this pc and i just want to over write the partitions it used [17:38] ghabit: do you get any errors in brasero when writing to the same disc? [17:38] Fishscene: nope [17:38] Dianabol tbh i'm a noob and thats pretty much all i know on the subject, lol [17:38] question: just installed hardy. tried to view flash in firefox, firefox prompted me to install a flash plugin, i went the default (swfdec), then subsequently realisedi should have gone adobe. how do i reverse my decision? [17:38] ello [17:39] not being able to save documents and having a BETA web browser on a final release is pretty major. [17:39] magnetron, nope, brasero works fine. [17:39] cshadowrun: its cool, thanks for the help though [17:39] oh god, the 200m :( i've been trying to get my mother-in-law's pc running compiz, and she's got that evil evil chipset [17:39] I'm on a windows box and wish to proxy my 80 port to view forums [17:39] np [17:39] is there a fedora channel ? [17:39] Fishscene: I don't even have such a group on my box [17:39] jatt: Probably you want to go through AMD actually, provided they've published their drivers by then... or Intel... Nvidia has no plans of opening anything. [17:39] Recently I found I can press eject button on my DVD drive to eject the mounted DVD. Does anyone know how it do that? [17:39] #fedora [17:39] ravi, what version of Ubuntu? [17:39] ecclesiastes: do you know what command i would use to do that? [17:39] Daisuke_Laptop: hahaha yeah is really *evil* [17:39] Fishscene: heron [17:39] frenzy: it needs registration [17:39] Daisuke_Laptop: now I understand why my laptop was so cheap [17:39] frenzy: I need to install libSDL.. but can't find it.. [17:40] ushimitsudoki any idea? [17:40] azuki: i don't know much about fedora sorry [17:40] Dianabol: what kind of connection did you want? [17:40] ghabit: did you remember to choose your CD burner as your output device in the nautilus burner? [17:40] ravi, interesting. I don't have it either. They must have changed something. [17:40] CShadowRun: Here are my two suggestions: 1. Drop into a terminal, re=install the drivers and try the xorg.conf that the process will generate. [17:40] azuki: /msg nickserv register password [17:40] ecclesiastes: connect through the local network to another machine [17:40] Fishscene: yeah, I'm sure it's some group that I have to join [17:40] azuki: you probably want libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio [17:40] Dianabol: telnet, FTP, SMB ... [17:40] ok [17:40] *I need to save a bug report, how can i do that" [17:40] you mean run nvidia-xconfig [17:40] Fishscene: this is an external usb hard drive [17:40] CShadowRun: heck out my xorg.conf here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10278/ and make similar changes [17:41] magnetron, where can I find that option? [17:41] ok :p [17:41] Fishscene: NTFS through ntfs-3g [17:41] CShadowRun: but keep in mind i am running 2 cards on 3 montiors [17:41] ghabit: it's in the window where you burn the disc. [17:41] CShadowRun: so don't just copy mine exactly [17:41] Fishscene: hmm... may be the fuse group? [17:41] yea [17:41] ravi, click on your account and click on "Properties" then "User Privileges" [17:41] ecclesiastes: which program would u recommend for that? [17:41] to make use of default settings in /etc/kde3 I would need to set the env var KDEDIRS to point there, right? [17:41] magnetron, cannot understand you. [17:41] how do I use squid? [17:41] Anyone here try to install Enemy Territory (WWII version) linux client on 8.04? [17:41] Fishscene: there [17:41] nm [17:42] Dianabol: nornally you would set up the Windows share and Ubuntu should find it without a problem. [17:42] ecclesiastes: and how do i get local machine IPs? [17:42] Ravi, which settings are not selected? [17:42] Fishscene: everything except use scanner tape drives and send and recieve faxes [17:42] ecclesiastes: im just curious, and want to do it in terminal [17:42] Fishscene: I'm gonna try adding myself to fuse group [17:42] Fishscene: oops, already am a part [17:42] Dianabol: use smbtree to list available shares [17:43] ravi, on my machine, my main group is "administrator" [17:43] Dianabol: man smbclient for windows shares via terminal [17:43] Fishscene: my main group is my own user name [17:43] Dianabol: OK. first you're looking for the IPs? [17:43] ghabit: when you right click an .iso and select "burn to disc" or whatever it's labelled, and the nautilus CD burning tool comes up, you can choose which device you want to use for burning. which one did you select? [17:43] ecclesiastes: yea [17:43] Fishscene: and there isn't a group called Administrator [17:43] ravi: 'admin' [17:44] Dianabol: I think fde has the answer for you. [17:44] Ravi, I'm sorry. Completely my mistake. (My username is administrator) -rofl. Sorry for confusion [17:44] magnetron, I have only one writer, and I cannot see that window. [17:44] Fishscene: there is an admin group though [17:44] ecclesiastes: then a way to connect to that ip, in terminal... i am noob so maybe what im "trying" to do wont work at all.. just want to attempt something of the sort [17:44] Is there a user contributed web page for known issues following a 8.04 upgrade? [17:44] Fishscene: oh, ok [17:44] Fishscene: you must be used to Windows :) [17:44] ghabit: i have only one writer too. [17:44] ravi, of course :P [17:44] Dianabol: there is smbmount for accessing the shares... [17:44] Dianabol: are you trying to access a file share or log onto the remote system? [17:44] what is the correct location to set an env var for all users? [17:44] ghabit: are you sure you're in the nautilus CD burning tool? [17:45] exit [17:45] EXIT [17:45] magnetron, ah, yep, understood. Yep, it set right by default. [17:45] nkosi: /exit [17:45] anyone folks? just can't automount my thumb drive - it's gotta be some permissions involved here. [17:45] Dianabol: or are you wanting to *control* the remote system? [17:45] ecclesiastes: both logon, and access [17:45] magnetron, there are image writer and physical writer. [17:45] how should partitions be configured for a heron install [17:45] Fishscene: if I do sudo mount -a it mounts fine [17:45] is it possible to reinstall nataulis [17:45] Fishscene: but I want the automount [17:45] frenzy: sure... 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus' [17:46] ecclesiastes: if control is possible id like to try that... just getting the hang of ubuntu OS [17:46] magnetron, how I can run it using terminal? [17:46] How do I download, install & configure LAMP? [17:46] Greetings. I've just acquired a used IBM/Lenovo T43 with the fingerprint scanner that I plan to put 8.04 on. Does anyone know if the fingerprint scanner will work by default, or what I'd need to do to make it work? [17:46] yay [17:46] absk007: sudo tasksel [17:46] Barr1: yes [17:46] smoothest upgrade yet [17:46] ecclesiastes: and frankly trying to get used to terminal [17:46] Dianabol: speaking as a dinosaur, I'd use telnet. [17:46] ravi, yea, I don't know how that would work. It automounts my NTFS drive when I plug it in. [17:46] !telnet [17:46] telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh [17:46] i tried installing 7.10 and it couldnt start X becuase it couldnt detect my nvidia 8800 gt video card, now after restarting my GRUB loading, please wayt, returns Error 17 [17:46] Barr1: thinkwiki is your friend: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_on_a_ThinkPad_T43 [17:46] ravi: Yes, it works, or yes, someone knows how to make it work? :-) [17:47] Tell me all of your deepest fears. [17:47] Ravi: Sweet. Thanks! [17:47] is there a way to email one of the ubuntu developers [17:47] kk [17:47] what a nightmare [17:47] giant_eyeball: Steve Jobs converts to Islam. [17:47] _moro_bana_ I found the information at, "http://ubuntuforums.org" however I deleted the message that explain partitions [17:47] I am an Ubuntu developer. [17:47] hello [17:47] In fact, I'm in control of every aspect of reality. [17:47] Fishscene: can you check your /etc/fstab for that drive and pastebin it? [17:48] nirvana4life! [17:48] Fishscene: it might also be some kind of flag I'm missng [17:48] !offtopic | giant_eyeball [17:48] giant_eyeball: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [17:48] I'm interested in discussing Ubuntu Linux. [17:48] giant_eyeball: #ubuntu-offtopic [17:49] can i use telnet or ssh to connect to local machines using "network ips"? or do i need to get another address? [17:49] "Error in service module" message And I cann't login in Ubuntu 7.10 any idea [17:49] ghabit: type this in a terminal: nautilus-cd-burner --source-iso=FILENAME , where FILENAME is the real filename for your ISO [17:49] Dianabol: to get used to the terminal, I'd suggest using 'man' ... a lot. just the experience of doing that will help. [17:49] Dianabol: you use ssh IP [17:49] Dianabol: sure... I'd recommend ssh though [17:49] ravi, It seems my drive is not in fstab? [17:49] Dianabol: you can use the IP adreses. you need to install the "ssh" package on the server first though [17:50] Fishscene: hmm... should I just delete my entry? [17:50] I see config information for my root drive and CD-rom, but no information on my external USB drive [17:50] [17:50] Fishscene: ok... gonna go try deleting it [17:50] ssh = "secure shell"? [17:50] Dianabol: a network IP is an address, same tihng [17:50] Dianabol: yup [17:50] ravi, make a backup copy of fstab [17:50] is someone able to help get my head around this partitioning issue so i can get on with installing hardy heron.. im a linux newbie and im sorry for that but i do want to give it a go. i tried a suse distribution but i had some issues with that and i would prefer ubuntu. [17:50] Fishscene: of course [17:50] l,ol [17:50] magnetron, it does not write any errors @ terminal (( [17:50] i need to over write the suse partitions with ubuntu [17:50] "Error in service module" message And I cann't login in Ubuntu 7.10 any idea [17:51] so all that is required is 1. install ssh on server machine 2. get its ip 3. connect using ssh? [17:51] Dianabol: yes. [17:51] if i do it manually what partitions do i need to create for ubuntu [17:51] My friend who has the same ISP and lives in the same area as me can not access my server, but several other computers can, including my cellphone. See: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10281/ [17:51] PokerWolf: Go into "Custom Partition"... tell us if you have any issues beyond that... should be able to just set mount options and tell it to format and be fine though. [17:51] Fishscene: hahaha... almost deleted my drive because I was gonna do a rm -rf /media/MyPassport to get rid of the mount point too [17:51] hello, I have a big problem with my DVD in a Vostro 1400, I am not able to activate DMA in it with Ubuntu. The hardware controller is ICHM8 [17:51] Fishscene: I was like... wait.... unmount first. [17:51] would it be a problem if the server is running windows? ssh would work on it? [17:51] PokerWolf: u could say use existing linux partitions in installer, but will wipe all linux parts [17:51] Dianabol: seems weird to be so straight forward, eh? [17:52] ROFL! [17:52] Dianabol: use the client like this: in a terminal, type: "ssh usernameonserver@ip.adress" [17:52] hehe [17:52] can someone help me activating DMA for with my DVD?? [17:52] help please. It's urgent. googling give me nothing [17:52] Fishscene: ok.. fstab entry gone, so is the mount folder, lets see what happens now [17:52] ecclesiastes: seems to easy.. but im noob, im bound to run into a problem or 2 on the way [17:52] PokerWolf: You should make / no smaller than 5gigs... and set a 1gig swap at least... and you should have a /home partition for your own files but that can be any size you want. [17:52] hey [17:52] Dianabol: there won't be a probloem with windows in this. [17:52] I am back [17:52] and how do i get local ips?

[17:53] Fishscene: thanks [17:53] Dianabol: Windows is BUILT to be insecure. Just bust on in there. [17:53] ravi, no problem. [17:53] or netstat? [17:53] Dianabol: to find IPs on network you can do 'nmap 192.168.1.0/24 -sP' (assuming you are using IPs in range 192.168.1.x) [17:54] Dianabol: or just ifconfig on target machine [17:54] Fishscene: I always end up coming to this room to fix my own problem and end up spending 4 hours doing a bunch of other people's... gonna go try not doing that now [17:54] nmap will piss some sysadmin off for sure [17:54] hello, I have a big problem with my DVD in a Vostro 1400, I am not able to activate DMA in it with Ubuntu. The hardware controller is ICHM8 [17:54] well not on personal network jatt [17:54] jatt: Serves them right for allowing such connections. [17:54] can someone tell me how to fix it? I though with Hardy it could be soolved.. but .. no [17:54] fde: hehe :) [17:55] ejer: true that, my network admin almost killed me [17:55] ravi. ROFL. That sometimes happens to me [17:55] I commend those of you who have the patience to help people in this room. [17:55] Dianabol: do you have physical access to the Windows machine?

[17:56] steph291: 'sudo apt-get clean' and try again. [17:56] steph291, put the output you have there in a !pastebin (do not paste in here) and show it to us [17:56] does apt-get / synaptic have a log file somewhere? [17:56] DA problem with DVD is it possible to fix?

[17:57] guys, I installed via synaptic some software which removed pulse-audio package(s) and now skype doesn't want to work. How do i undo what i did? I have already forgotten what packages I installed. [17:57] please help [17:57] Dianabol: Walk first .. then run. [17:57] Well the thing is, I'm using one (1) Ubuntu 8.04 installation right now which is located at /dev/sda and in grub it's (hd1,0). The problem is I want to get my other installation working which is 8.04 too and it's located at /dev/sdb7, I can [17:57] 't get it to boot from there [17:57] ecclesiastes: true :D, and thanks [17:57] unop: sweet. thanks [17:57] redwhitewaldo, reinstall pulse-audio - looks like skype needs it [17:58] Dianabol: other people here have mentioned ways to get the IP remotely. === libervisco is now known as CY`Liber [17:58] menomaru: it will be (hd1,6) [17:58] i have some problems with my laptop after installing ubuntu 8.04... i have an ATI x1200, and i have some problems with this driver for my laptop, any sugestions? sorry for my english, im from Romania... [17:58] i'm trying to uninstall swfdec after installing it via firefox. are lib-swfdec and swfdec-mozilla the only two packages it would have installed? [17:59] ecclesiastes: ok one last thing... assuming i have a computer's IP, and have a windows account... i can login using ssh or telnet with no problems?

[17:59] ok its working away now fingers crossed, 3gig swap, 10gig root, 230gig /home [17:59] jacquesmerde: dpkg -l *swfdec* | grep ^ii <-- answer your own question, instead of us guessing :) [17:59] Has anyone noticed changes to their fan speeds due to recent Hardy updates? [17:59] Dianabol: ssh is a linux program, it is possible to install on windows, but not the same at all,,, you probably want rdesktop to control a windows desktop [17:59] Dianabol: You will have to tell the Windows machine to allow the connection. [17:59] unop, thanks [18:00] jacquesmerde: the 'grep ^ii' will only list things that are installed already :) [18:00] "Error in service module" message And I cann't login in Ubuntu 7.10 any way (GDM and console). help me please [18:00] ecclesiastes: tell it how exactly? [18:01] What editor should I use for huge text files? gedit sucks (not vim please) === CY`Liber is now known as libervisco [18:01] hello, I have a big problem with my DVD in a Vostro 1400, I am not able to activate DMA in it with Ubuntu. The hardware controller is ICHM8 [18:01] Dianabol: can you hold while I turn that machine on? [18:01] hi, i have hl2:ep2, i start it in wine. but when i start it in full screen mode - my monitor cant play. mismatch with refresh screen, what i must do? [18:01] funny thing is that pulseaudio is reinstalled, yet skype stil says "problem with audio playback". [18:01] menomaru, you need to add an entry for the second installation to grub menu .. this might give you an idea .. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/dual-boot-ubuntu-and-fedora-core-6-514343/ [18:01] Kl4m: nano on command line works well [18:01] ecclesiastes: you mean enable my ip in the other computers firewall? [18:01] ed is the standard [18:01] jatt: hah [18:01] ecclesiastes: sure tyt [18:01] :) [18:01] how do i know whether i have pulseaudio (correctly/completely) installed OR whether some other sound program is on my computer? [18:01] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: the link is for the main page, where should i look for that [18:01] Kl4m, do you want to be able to edit text files? or just view them? [18:01] redwhitewaldo: look in skype settings for audio [18:02] fde: huh? what do you mean? [18:02] ejer: why use rdesktop? cause its more suitable for windows environment? [18:02] Dianabol: because ssh is not in windows [18:02] lagging again [18:02] fde: i mean to the second thing, about things that are installed already... [18:02] unop thanks for the help, will give a look at it [18:02] jacquesmerde: Applications > Accessories > Terminal ... copy and paste the command I said. [18:02] unop, I can "less" them to view them, I would want a graphical editor [18:02] redwhitewaldo, dpkg -l pulse-audio [18:02] with cygwin you can access your windows machine through ssh [18:02] care to walk him through that install jatt? :) [18:02] holycow ! :)))) [18:03] ejer: oh rdesktop = remote desktop ... LOL im slow atm running on very little sleep :S... but remote desktop has to be enabled on the other machine correct? [18:03] <_moro_bana_> giant_eyeball:an ubuntu developer, please help with this->which apps other than kvpnc can i use to connect to a microsoft pptp? [18:03] ejer: of course not! haha :) [18:03] heh [18:03] ejer: thanks. but i meant my computer in general--- how can i know what my computer is using for its sound manager (whether pulseaudio or something else)? thanks [18:03] hi, i have hl2:ep2, i start it in wine. but when i start it in full screen mode - my monitor cant play. mismatch with refresh screen, what i must do? monitor write "out of range" [18:03] afternoon all..I have two programs which I use under wine (Anzio and ImgBurn) neither seem to show when I do an alt-tab...any thoughts as to how I can fix this? [18:03] redwhitewaldo: system>prefs>sound [18:03] jacquesmerde: What don't you understand? 'ii' is the signifier dpkg uses to tell something is installed correctly, and ^ is regex that tells it to only look for it at the beggining of the line... grep looks through output for a string.

When I install Unbuntu and restart the system, "GRUB" is printed across the entire screen endlessly [18:05] I just hope gedit wouldn't choke on big files [18:05] redwhitewaldo, it's plausible that multiple sound daemons can co-exist on a computer .. what you should be concerned about is whether pulse-audio is installed and functional [18:05] "Error in service module" message And I cann't login in Ubuntu 7.10 any way (GDM and console). any solutons [18:05] Anyone got a good idea of how I could startup Elisa Media center at boot, no GDM or nothing, JUST Elisa?

Right now I'm typing to you on a Hackintosh. :-) [18:05] _moro_bana_, I got the Information from the ubuntu forum... and the person said, If I was going to reinstall Ubuntu.. "and loose everything" it would be wise to create a "Primary /home" that way my setting / or configureation would be saved if I had to reinstall again... sorry if I am vauge [18:06] ejer, unop, pls see http://paste.ubuntu.com/10284/. does this look like pulseaudio is installed and functional?

[18:06] redwhitewaldo, it appears to be installed alright .. it should be functional [18:07] ecclesiastes: btw why are you using different OSs? just curious lol?

[18:07] unop: thanks for checking. it seems sound is working fine with many programs (pidgin, media/totemplayer) but skype won't make calls [18:07] Dianabol: I'm learning, like you. [18:07] it used to... until i installed um, was it esd? [18:07] I'm running Ubuntu 8.04. If I'm running BOINC for all day then my computer freezes. It freezes so that even keyboard does not respond.

Reinstall,, and I said create a large primary "/home" if you do have to Reinstall [18:08] tanath: make sure nothing is accessing it... and sudo umount /dev/whatever [18:08] wirechief, Ok. Thanks. [18:08] ejer does nvu works on hardy 64 bits? [18:08] redwhitewaldo, not sure .. maybe it's a skype issue .. and i don't know enough about skype as i don't use it .. maybe someone else can help.

[18:09] I use linux32 (isn't that the 32bit comp libs?) [18:09] unop, /mnt/hdb# [18:09] fde ejer thank you [18:09] tanath: what does lsof | grep device say (replace device with your device)? [18:09] tanath: you can try -f [18:09] unop, #2 [18:09] tanath: that will force the umount [18:09] how come in skype, i have to change sound devices stuff (in/out/ringing) from "default device" to something else? How can I make "default device" the correct device [18:09] fde, ah, good to know [18:09] Dianabol: OK, I've opened the properties of that network connection and selected TCP/IP [18:09] Abd67: there is kompozer too, which is nvu fork [18:10] hi I have ubuntu 8.10 on a laptop.. can I disable some drivers ?.. and how...

[18:10] ejer which is better? [18:10] jatt, that's what i was doing. always turned up nothing [18:10] tanath, are you sure you aren't in /mnt/hdb (or any directory underneath it) .. i mean, your shells current directory [18:10] jatt, using either the actual device path, or the mount point [18:10] kompozer is a fork of nvu [18:10] azuki: throw 'blacklist driver_name' into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [18:10] yes that happens to me frequently :) [18:10] Abd67: try em and decide? :) I think kompozer is newer [18:10] <_moro_bana_> fde: well i wanna have a fresh install, but i dont wanna loose all my configs.my fresh installs always fail to connect to internet [18:10] unop, completely [18:10] redwhitewaldo sykpe sound not working ? [18:10] it was created after nvu was discontinued [18:10] unop, this happens every time after boot/login [18:10] _moro_bana_: Do you currently have a separate /home dir? [18:10] ejer thanks again [18:10] it has bug fixes, new features and so on [18:11] Dianabol: 192.168.0.4, 255.255.255.0 [18:11] <_moro_bana_> fde: separate , i dont understand [18:11] i don't understand why lsof would insist nothing is using it while umount would say the device is busy [18:11] tanath, are you sure lsof | grep -iE '/dev/hdb|/mnt/hdb' returns nothing? [18:11] magnetron, are you still here? [18:11] magnetron, I have an error ) [18:11] _moro_bana_: I don't know what you aren't understanding about that.... [18:11] fde: where can I find the drivers list then? [18:11] tanath: are you in teh directory when typing command maybe? [18:12] azuki: 'lsmod' is all modules in use. [18:12] unop, i was using 'lsof | grep -i db2' for instance [18:12] Dianabol: on the Ubuntu machine, which still won't find that hard disk: 192.168.0.3,255.255.255.0 [18:12] ejer, nope [18:12] ejer, and if i were, then lsof would say that [18:12] tanath: umount -f /dev/whatever doesn't work? [18:12] <_moro_bana_> fde: i have a /home dir, the separete i dont underst [18:12] ghabit: tell us the error [18:12] magnetron, here it is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10285/ [18:12] fde, i hadn't tried -f [18:12] fde, will next time [18:12] tanath, well, that regex is not very inclusive .. you need to see if lsof has something in /mnt/hdb open .. not just db2 [18:13] unop, it's more inclusive than yours [18:13] tanath, whatever [18:13] _moro_bana_: default is to have no /home partition ... you would have had to customize partitioning to get one. [18:13] Dianabol: and i do a 'man ssh' just to check ... [18:13] _moro_bana_,, sounds good [18:13] unop, i use it to get either hdb2 or sdb2 [18:13] _moro_bana_: if you didn't... backup your data and make sure you create one next time. [18:13] ghabit: as i said earlier, you need to clear the CD-RW before you write to it. [18:13] How do I search for the x86/glibc-2.0 files taht I need? [18:13] tanath: try grepping the mount point [18:13] like package names [18:14] ejer, ? [18:14] tanath: i use lsof /home for instance [18:14] ghabit: not just delete the files. you need to completely clear the disc [18:14] would uninstalling libesd-alsa0 help me with my skype sound in problems? [18:14] Hi....Wesnoth is frozen and I can't shut it down. [18:14] magnetron, when I am inserting a disk. it asks for cleaning it. I am choosing "clean" option. [18:14] ArthurArchnix: 'pkill -9 wesnoth' [18:14] And then it return error. [18:14] ghabit: oh, why didn't you say so? [18:14] ejer, well, i don't get much time to play around anyway before my system becomes unusable. enough time to run a couple commands, and that's about it [18:14] I type ps -ax and this is what it says "29720 ? R 11:17 wesnoth" [18:15] how do i change locales ? [18:15] redwhitewaldo you would have better luck checking your sound with the people in #alsa [18:15] ArthurArchnix: I told you what to do... [18:15] is Linux i686 binary = 64bits? [18:15] wirechief: no, skype sound in not working... after i installed some sound packages for some computer games (which had to remove pulseaudio). 8-( [18:15] pls help [18:15] Yeah... that worked fde. I was cutting and pasting that before I saw it. Thanks [18:15] Abd67: no [18:15] tanath: haven't followed everything, but why not stop it from automounting [18:15] _moro_bana_, Ask the users here how you can Re-install Ubuntu and yet save all your configuration Because you have a Primary /home partition... and they will explain.. as I can't explain.. but I can say that your in good shoes [18:15] is there a way to have ssh ask for the username? instead of using username@ip.address ? [18:15] magnetron, I'm sorry :) [18:15] Dianabol: OK when I go to the Windows Firewall control panel, it doesn't mention ssh, but it does say telnet. [18:15] wirechief: but is not ubuntu 8.04 now NOT on alsa, but rather, on pulse? [18:15] Abd67: i686 binary => 32 bits [18:15] fde so komposer does not work under hardy 64 bits [18:16] hello everyone.. [18:16] Abd67: i686 corresponds to the instruction set changes in pentium 2 systems. [18:16] ejer, i think i'll do that... but i'd like to know what's doing it. i can't figure out what process would be causing it [18:16] Odd-rationale, don't mention a userrname .. ssh otherhost [18:16] Ecclesiastes: there is no ssh in windows! [18:16] fde ok thanks [18:16] Abd67: it will... amd64 systems emulate 32bit fine. [18:16] tanath: see if it happens on a manual mount... [18:16] Dianabol: since this is all intramural, would you mind telnet? [18:16] ecclesiastes: what V. of windows are you running? [18:16] ejer, it's not tracker. i know that much [18:16] Odd-rationale: or you can use: ssh someuser@someip [18:16] <_moro_bana_> fde:aaa! partition for /home no i dont have that, that i have to do manuall during the installation right? [18:16] _moro_bana_, Ask the users here how you can Re-install Ubuntu and yet save all your configuration Because you have a Primary /home partition... and they will explain.. as I can't explain.. but I can say that your in good shoes [18:16] ejer: I'm jst saying what I find as I find it. [18:16] ejer, i'd rather not have to reboot again [18:16] ecclesiastes: no i dont mind [18:16] hey guys I installed ubuntu 8.04 64bit version, but I couldn't get a screen resoultion higher t han 640x480 so I added "screens and graphics" back to the options menu.. and when I've changed my monitor to the correct one to fix the resoultion it also changed my graphics card to some generic one so now compiz fuzion is broken, any idea how I can fix this? [18:16] unop: ok. i;ll try that. [18:17] _moro_bana_ there is a trick to it.. so ask [18:17] Dianabol: XP service pack 2 [18:17] Abd67: you will need the 32bit compat packages though to get a 32bit package to install and work. [18:17] will removing alsa-packages also help? [18:17] redwhitewaldo well i am testing kbuntu it uses alsa, users who upgrade ubuntu sometimes have sound issues that need some experts to resolve thus #alsa [18:17] _moro_bana_: I have a guide on howto create a separate /home partition [18:17] Can someone help me with vsftp? I want to define the exact path where a user will upload his files... [18:17] wirechief, MD5 is good. [18:17] Odd-rationale, actually, i don't think that'll work .. as ssh will use your current user name inplace [18:17] Dianabol: Actually this is a first for me too. [18:17] fde anu idea where can i get them? [18:17] Odd-rationale, have a look in the ssh_config and sshd_config manpages [18:17] *any [18:17] magnetron, how do you think, is it possible to fix it? [18:17] _moro_bana_: yup... when it loads up the partitioner, just choose "custom" and set it how you want.... / needs 5 gigs... swap should be 1gigs at least... and /home for personal files. [18:17] Dianabol: Ecclesiastes the answer is easy, in windows, go to control panel>system>remote and enable remote desktop, then in linux, connect to that IP using rdesktop, done [18:17] if I change the graphics card back the the right one in screens and graphics and hit test my monitor can't display the output for some reason... [18:18] Dianabol: OK I have enabled a telnet port. [18:18] unop: ok... [18:18] Anyone know how I'd write an /etc/init.d/ file to start an X session with elisa media center? [18:18] <_kavOOr_> hi, how do I change the resolution of the login screen ? It is not changing by default in Hardy when I change the desktop resolution.. any idea ? [18:18] do I have to have the nvidia driver installed before I change the selected graphics card? [18:18] wirechief, my problems came only after i messed around with installing esd/alsa packagse (i forget now which). [18:18] WrathWolf well thats good, something has messed up your grub, you can perhaps rewrite it [18:18] well, thanks people [18:18] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive: please ....give the link [18:18] ejer: im doing this just for fun, so ill prolly do both (or atleast try to use both ways) [18:18] redwhitewaldo well then just check with alsamixer in terminal [18:18] nox-Hand-> look into update-rc.d or invoke-rc.d [18:19] so my question is: how can i get my ubuntu desktop back to how it was before i messed around installing sound packages (which removed some/one pulseaudio package)? [18:19] Dianabol: there is no other way, telnet is not the way to go [18:19] is there a way i can control the http://www.kiba-dock.org with lirc ?using left right arrows to move through the dock icons ? [18:19] Dianabol: would you like to follow ejer's suggestion. I don't mind. [18:19] ghabit: i don't know how to solve that problem. ask the channel, and tell them what you told me (on one line, please). remeber to tell them that clearing the disc doesn't work, and tell them what error you get [18:19] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: thanks , actuall you ask qs for me [18:19] Will do amenado, thanks [18:19] wirechief, I am not that familiar with linux. I did however boot to the live disk, mount the partition that I installed Ubuntu to and look at the menu.lst and device.map files and it "seemed" ok. [18:19] redwhitewaldo: i would uninstall both and reinstall alsa [18:19] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive: do you have it as a link ....? [18:19] wirechief: alsamixer in terminal says http://paste.ubuntu.com/10286/ [18:20] fde: sorry, my internet died. did you reply to my last question? [18:20] wirechief: what's wrong with pulse? [18:20] does anyone else have the problem of no sound in VLC ? [18:20] why wouldn't you want to stick with what ubuntu 8.04 gives, namely pulseaudio? [18:20] jacquesmerde: I have no idea [18:20] WrathWolf: i suspect you have something else borked maybe the bot can help with grub reinstall [18:20] !grub [18:20] 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 [18:21] fde: i guess from the smiley face at the end of your comment in question, this may not be of life-changing importance [18:21] _moro_bana_ I PM you [18:21] wirechief. pls see http://paste.ubuntu.com/10286/ [18:21] WrathWolf: good luck [18:21] i upgraded gutsy -> hardy, got most problems fixed, but SUSPEND is missing from my log-off menu now... any help? [18:21] ecclesiastes: sorry had to get the phone. but yea i dont mind following you, im gonna try both, just curious to see what you get [18:22] jacquesmerde: What was your question? I'm assisting multiple people currently, I can't keep track of everything I say to everyone. [18:22] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: a ssec, yes please [18:22] Dianabol: when following ejer's procedure, the remote control panel says it will update the Firewall settings for us. [18:22] _moro_bana_: I have to go Peeeeee... brb [18:22] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: i will be here [18:22] ecclesiastes: ah but with telnet, you had to manually enable it in the firewall? [18:23] redwhitewaldo well i think a short trip to #alsa would give you a wealth of information on troubleshooting sound problems, it did for me 3 computers now working fine. [18:23] how do i find out which kernal i am runnig [18:23] you told me about the dpkg -l *pkg* command, and how to grep it accordingly for the ii's, but then you said it will only tell me of packages i have already, and i had no idea what you meant [18:23] uname -a [18:23] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive: are you there [18:23] Dianabol: well, there was this big 'security' thing ... [18:24] Abd67: lib32 seems to be how Ubuntu does 32bit things... I can't seem to find a metapackage to get a decent collection of these though to get started [18:24] wirechief: but you're saying that alsa is better than pulseaudio, correct? [18:24] fde: you told me about the dpkg -l *pkg* command, and how to grep it accordingly for the ii's, but then you said it will only tell me of packages i have already, and i had no idea what you meant [18:24] ecclesiastes: with both or just telnet? [18:24] how do i find out which kernal i am runnig [18:24] OK, now I'm going to slide over the the malfuctioning Ubuntu machine [18:25] jacquesmerde: What don't you understand? 'ii' is the signifier dpkg uses to tell something is installed correctly, and ^ is regex that tells it to only look for it at the beggining of the line... grep looks through output for a string. [18:25] fde I've stumbled upon this link -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=551060 I hope it mighty be a good help [18:25] uname -a [18:25] jacquesmerde: I think that's what I told you... [18:25] Dianabol: If we follow ejer's suggestion, the firewall issue will be handled for us. [18:25] redwhitewaldo: no, just that you can get decent support with sound issues in the irc #alsa they are experts and if you need something else can direct you to it. [18:25] _moro_bana_: sorry, im on and off [18:25] Ecclesiastes: to connect after enabling remote desktop in windows, use applications>internet>terminal server client, leave it on RDP and enter IP to windows machine [18:25] they can help with pulseaudio questions, too, wirechief? [18:25] Abd67: apt-cache show nvu does nothing? No reason there wouldn't be a package for it, it's OSS afaik [18:25] ah ic [18:25] _moro_bana_: you still interested? I can dig up the link [18:25] wirechief: i'm in there now [18:26] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive: yes [18:26] redwhitewaldo: good just ask away. [18:26] _moro_bana_: FYI, I just had my wisdom teeth out, so I'm dealing with that (If I don't respond) [18:26] Dianabol: and then I do a 'man rdesktop' just to check .. OK there it is. [18:26] does anyone know much abot wireless? [18:26] Abd67: Never use external software unless you absolutely require it... just asking for trouble... this isn't Windows ;) [18:26] how do i find out which kernal i am runnig [18:26] fde Abd67 try sudo aptitude search nvu [18:26] mohbana: uname -r [18:27] thnks [18:27] fde I found nvu in synactic, hope it works. Thanks for the warning :) [18:27] fde: come on, there are thousands of packages that can be installed, not asking for trouble [18:27] Hello i was wondering if some one could help me compress an iso image [18:27] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive: lol, painful [18:27] fde: i understand grep, and man dpkg explained the -l switch, it was just that qualifier you gave in the second message, about "only packages i already have" [18:28] ejer: bypassing dpkg/apt causes maintainance issues [18:28] fde: how is he bypassing apt? [18:28] he is using synaptic [18:28] <__andrew> Does 7.10 use UUID=blah in fstab? (I'm trying to track down the root cause of a weird upgrading bug) [18:28] ejer: If you install off the internet a tar.qz, and install from that, you are bypassing dpkg [18:28] ecclesiastes: established a connection? [18:29] Can i get some help on making an iso image???? [18:29] __andrew: yup [18:29] fde: agreed, I told him way back how to install it right [18:29] damnit, it's so pointless to ask in #squid [18:29] <__andrew> Hmm, ok. [18:29] Dianabol: yes and no. It doesn't map my keyboard correctly [18:29] * __andrew continues the research [18:29] hello [18:29] is there a channel i can go to for wireless help? [18:30] what is issue asizemore [18:30] how can I configure squid to bypass my school's firewall, I need to get to a forum [18:30] hehe [18:30] I just got it to work, but it still goes to the firewall [18:30] asizemore: that is what a firewall is for if it is blocking access to certain sites [18:30] fde ejer thanks for your time. I have kompozer now and working just fine. :D [18:30] Dianabol: rdesktop is the Linux copy of a Windows program. There is a 3rd party program I like better called VNC [18:30] ecclesiastes: but now you have remote access? [18:31] Abd67: ahhh the nvu bugfix project :) [18:31] Ecclesiastes: but no, you would then need to install more software on windows! [18:31] Dianabol: It's showing me the login desktop, yes [18:31] hehe lol this could be so easy [18:31] ejer: I have the server set up at home where the access is un-restricted to the forum, why can't I use squid to forward my http to access it? [18:31] Can i get some help on making an iso image???? [18:31] :D [18:31] ecclesiastes: and you have access to its files? [18:31] Abd67: Nvu came from Linspire, they are apparently bad about fixing things, so they forked for Kompozer :) [18:31] Flip2405: what do you want to do [18:31] ejer: you think I'd install a system without VNC? [18:31] anyone ever buy one of the dell ubuntu preinstalled laptops? [18:32] Ecclesiastes: i would, since it is redundant [18:32] I have windows setting 0n my desktop uncompressed i want to iso it to run it on my virtual box [18:32] fde linspire = windows :p [18:32] it does not [18:32] Dianabol: no. without a correct keyboard mapping I can't even enter my account name. [18:32] jk :p [18:32] <_moro_bana_> Abd67: =windows? [18:32] got to go get my kids at school [18:33] Flip2405: in linux, 'dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/you/cd.iso' [18:33] Dianabol: type 'b' and get an 'x' kind of a problem [18:33] Abd67: nah... they are a debian-based and even ubuntu-based now project... they employee a few debian developers to assist in packaging etc... [18:33] _moro_bana_ i'm just kidding [18:33] ecclesiastes: does that have anything to do with your machine? or is it just simply ubuntu:windows incompatability issues? [18:33] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive: pm me , when you get the link, too much flood in here [18:33] ejer: you don't seem to have to put up with windoze as much as i do. [18:33] has anyone ever done a network install with ubuntu 8.04 or 7.10 [18:33] how do i kill firefox? [18:33] (i don't see it in "top") [18:33] redwhitewaldo: killall -9 firefox-bin [18:33] My HDD is set up with three partitions--/,swap, and /home. If I reinstall ubuntu and DO NOT format /home, will all my personal files be accessible? [18:33] <_moro_bana_> Abd67: hehe [18:34] Ecclesiastes: i use windows every day and manage many machines :) [18:34] redwhitewaldo: ps -aux [18:34] rhythmbox seems to have musicbrainz as a dependency, but it won't retrieve tag information for my mp3 files, what does it use the musicbrainz library for? [18:34] _moro_bana_: http://drupal.openleadership.org/?q=node/39 [18:34] hey im having trouble loggin into my ubuntu machine remotely via ssh, can someone please ssh me and let me know if the connection is accepted please, ill see in the log [18:34] _moro_bana_ do you have a IRC account [18:34] ejer te file is sitting on my desk top man [18:34] Dianabol: Ecclesiastes look at http://linux.die.net/man/1/rdesktop [18:34] Abd67: In fact, they had to change their name from Lindows to make it clearer it WASN'T Windows... on account of Microsoft thought their brilliant userbase would get confused [18:34] anything is better than windows and if you want to learn more linux is the way to go. In my case i'm very happy with ubuntu. never went back to windows [18:34] jatt: no process killed [18:34] the* [18:34] Flip2405: what file? [18:34] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: yes i do [18:34] My windows file that i want to iso [18:34] redwhitewaldo: firefox was not running then [18:34] does anyone have any experience with network installs [18:34] Flip2405: it is just one file? I don't know what you mean really [18:34] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: i just pm you [18:34] cya all later [18:35] anyone ever buy one of the dell ubuntu preinstalled laptops? im considering purchasing [18:35] joshual: a desktop but yes from dell [18:35] umm come channel #flip please [18:35] <_moro_bana_> danbhfive : thanks [18:35] joshual, don't do dell. System76 is the way to go ;) [18:35] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: didi you see the pm [18:35] louist: budget constraint [18:35] _moro_bana_: np, its something I wrote up. Let me know if you find any parts confusing [18:35] joshual: Many people complain about what Dell is doing to the default Ubuntu actually, but no, I haven't purchased one. [18:36] hola a todos uno q sea de peru [18:36] has anyone had any problems with the installer hanging on 8.04 when installing from cd [18:36] joshual... gotcha. some of them aren't too pricy... i dunno what you're looking for but is dell really cheaper? [18:36] !es [18:36] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [18:36] louist: so far dell is by far the cheapest [18:36] hey all , how can i restore my gnome panels to installation default ???? [18:36] _moro_bana_ please IRC greyspace2004@irc.quakennet.org [18:36] josual: that sucks... well best of luck! [18:36] ejer: specifiec -k en-us same problem [18:36] guess no one has any idea about my missing SUSPEND from logoff menu [18:37] khakane, sorry buddy I wish I could help...i don't believe any of us are going to get any help today [18:37] yea i dont get it, it was there before i upgraded heh [18:37] if i reinstall ubuntu but do not format /home, all my files will still be there, right? [18:37] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: wait, i thought you were talking about registering here,no i dont but i can do that now === TwinX is now known as TwinX-away [18:38] Does Suspend have something to do with SWAP? [18:38] anyone know how I can configure squid to bypass the school firewall? [18:38] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: how do i registere? [18:38] no [18:38] mib_2xd3df9r: yes === caccola is now known as hooverine [18:38] !register [18:38] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[18:38] Never let the muerte touch you [18:38] http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chatirc [18:38] _moro_bana_: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chatirc [18:39] does anyone have clutch up and running? [18:39] no [18:39] anyone here actually worth asking today ? [18:39] no [18:39] probably not [18:39] question: i seem to automatically have read/write access to my external harddrive, but when its up in nautilus, i can't use the "make link" in the context menu of any item on that drive. how come? i want to create a soft symlink in my home directory to something on the external drive [18:40] if i reinstall ubuntu but do not format /home all my files will still be on the HDD right? [18:40] apparently not...i just made the switch to ubuntu and have never had one question answered in here [18:40] ghostz: try the forums [18:40] E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [18:40] E: Unable to lock the download directory [18:40] Can anyone tell me how to fix this? [18:40] ghosts, that's unfortunate but yeah try the forums [18:40] louist: if /home is on a separate partition, yes [18:40] jacquesmerde: Most external hard drives come formatted as Fat32 from the factory, which doesn't support symlinks. [18:40] ubottu: Thanks [18:40] localgod12, i'm already there [18:40] danbhfive thanks! [18:40] tonyyarusso: oh, *I* formatted it as fat32 myself [18:41] tonyyarusso: but on my last distro i could still make symlinks to it with "ln -s ..." [18:41] anyone want to help me get Compiz Fusion working? It worked on 7.10... [18:41] I can't seem to update my box, can someone help? [18:41] jacquesmerde: ah, well, same result, different cause :). You can still make a link _to_ the drive, but that shortcut puts it in the same directory and then you have to drag and drop it, iirc. ln -s will still work. [18:42] bdragonmsl: do you have another update program working, like synaptic? [18:42] not that I know of. [18:42] just the update notifier [18:42] tonyyarusso: yeah, "ln -s" works fine, but how do i do it via nautilus? [18:42] Dianabol: still working the problem [18:43] jacquesmerde: not sure - it would probably involve adding features to the nautilus script to allow input of where it should end up. [18:43] somebody told me that linux is now known as ubuntu. Is this true? [18:44] pretty much [18:44] indeed [18:44] sykopomp: not true [18:44] sykopomp: umm no [18:44] sykopomp: ubuntu is known as ubuntu [18:44] I have a problems with amsn, I changed display picture and put put it "default size" now its so big! and when I try to change it, it wont let me... there is another way to delete it or change it? [18:44] sykopomp: and maybe you mean GNU/Linux and not Linux [18:44] is there a version of ubuntu I can burn onto dvd? [18:44] jatt: I mean -Linux- :) [18:44] mabus: Yes. [18:45] sykopomp: only one man can rename linux, and his name's Linus [18:45] Ubuntu,, is a Flavor of Linux... is that correct? [18:45] mib_2xd3df9r: is a flavor of GNU/Linux [18:45] does anyone know what this Error means [18:45] jatt: flavor of Linux! :D [18:45] /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet [18:45] whats the flavor of linx then? [18:45] debian based [18:45] fogobogo: links [18:46] GNU/Linux is something Debian is called because they received help from GNU back in the days or something.. [18:46] mib_2xd3df9r: usually referred to as a "distribution" of Linux (or more properly GNU/Linux although most people aren't picky about that bit) [18:46] heeeeeelp [18:46] Anza: Don't ask to ask, just ask. [18:46] !ask [18:46] 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. :-) [18:46] how do i change locales from sv_SE.utf-8 to sv_SE.iso8859-1 ? [18:46] I did! [18:46] I have a problems with amsn, I changed display picture and put put it "default size" now its so big! and when I try to change it, it wont let me... there is another way to delete it or change it? [18:46] Does anyone know what this error im recieving means: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not stable yet === caccola is now known as hooverine [18:47] anyone know how I can configure squid to bypass the school firewall? [18:47] Anza: I thought msn display pictures all resized whenever someone saw them. [18:47] asizemore: no one will help you get around school policies here I don't think [18:48] tonyyarusso: sweet, i just found out a nautilus way of doing it. holding ctrl-shift while dragging an item in one nautilus window into another. there has to be a more intuitive way though... [18:48] asizemore: you COULD use ssh to get through the firewall [18:48] I was pretty sure freenode has nothing against illegal proceedures [18:48] I do use ssh [18:48] I am using ssh [18:48] I am also usiong squid [18:48] asizemore: is this a high school or college? [18:48] Hi, i need some help using Wine on Ubuntu (Wine & Wine Config are simply not starting) maybe someone here able to help ? [18:48] it's a high school [18:48] asizemore: I do have something against illegal procedures. [18:48] asizemore, I use ssh at school [18:48] sykopomp, it is amsn, and it let you set the pic as default, or huge or other sizes. I picked default, and now the pic is super big and cover all the screen, so doesnt let me use my amsn [18:49] I just do everything I need in ssh [18:49] jatt, are you exclusively freenode? [18:49] people, how do i get back the sound packages that come default on (x)ubuntu 8.04? pls help me quick... before i finish this bag of potato chips beside me. [18:49] then no help for you. Go home and do your internet stuff there. Doing that stuff in high school just ticks off the sysadmin. [18:49] asizemore: this is not the place [18:49] asizemore: skip squid and use SSH [18:49] Dream_Team: yeah, but my forums are quite graphic based [18:49] Anza: hahah that's pretty funny. [18:49] asizemore: what? [18:49] lynx can only do so much for me :P [18:49] hi to all [18:49] Dianabol: working the problem [18:49] jatt, nothing [18:49] redwhitewaldo: do you want all the default packages? [18:49] Sa [18:49] how do i change locales from sv_SE.utf-8 to sv_SE.iso8859-1 ? [18:49] sykopomp, yes, but I wish I could solve it [18:49] I'm messing around because I'm not getting any replys until I say something blasphemous [18:50] Anza: I dunno, resize the image somewhere else? [18:50] danbhfive: yes, and i want the default packages to over-ride (delete) the packages i've installed afterwards. [18:50] asizemore, don't use your forum at school [18:50] magnetron: and what do I do with ssh to get to places like youtube? [18:50] redwhitewaldo: xubuntu? [18:50] asizemore, you'll just get trouble [18:50] asizemore: just cause I am nice http://www.employees.org/~satch/ssh/faq/ssh-faq-5.html#ss5.10 [18:50] Dream_Team: that such a cop-out answer [18:50] snask: dpkg-reconfigure locales [18:50] asizemore: google ssh-tunneling [18:50] Will java applets work with 64bit java that worked with 32bit java?

[18:51] video projects are hosted on youtube, until a better solution is found [18:51] Dianabol: I have a connection via VNC [18:51] asdrubal, there's no guarantee .. but they ought to work [18:51] asdrubal: theoretically, assuming java is installed properly [18:51] asizemore: you could use something like ssh -D 7070 username@yoursshserver.com , then configure your browser to use a local SOCKS proxy on port 7070 [18:51] asizemore, imho the teacher should be able to do it [18:51] upgraded to hardy and kow panel launchers do not work. Anyone has seen this?? [18:51] someone knows if exist a guide or wiki to properly configure ubuntu for childerns ? I mean some parental controls apps and settings to avoid damage to the Operating system...and so on [18:51] sykopomp: they've blocked every single page on that google list [18:51] loxley_, it just generates the locales.. its not like i get the menu where i can chose.. like in debian [18:51] sykopomp, it wont give me any of those options, when I click on "change display picture" it just opens it big... full screen and says: ok or cancel, either ok or cancel will levae it the same :S [18:51] Dream_Team: they can't do anything the students can't do [18:51] :D:D:D [18:51] Petengy: may want to look at edubuntu [18:51] muhauhaha [18:52] asizemore, wtf [18:52] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: lol, have looked around but did not find info on how to do that [18:52] Dream_Team: I know, it's messed up [18:52] asizemore, use elinks to check google [18:52] asizemore: if you are looking for a better video solution, i suggest "theora sea" [18:52] Google doesn't really need graphical [18:52] Petengy: look for the christian version of ubuntu [18:52] asizemore: hahahah [18:52] dude, it's a high school. [18:52] Dream_Team: :o elinks?

[18:52] hmm [18:52] googling [18:52] _moro_bana_: are you still there [18:53] how exactly can I mount an external hd and have rw access to it without having to use sudo all the time? [18:53] asizemore: but the ssh command i gave you should get you up and running [18:53] ha! === bamed|lunch is now known as bamed [18:53] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: yes, did you see my last msg [18:53] hydrozen: mount it with correct mounting flags [18:53] nope [18:53] thank you magnetron [18:53] danbhfive, tnx I know christian version but if it's possible I prefer keep ubuntu because I use the same pc [18:53] hey how do i remove a group? [18:54] <_moro_bana_> mib_2xd3df9r: lol, have looked around but did not find info on how to do that [18:54] not the user, just a 'group'? [18:54] Myrtti: using the -o thing on the mount command? [18:54] hydrozen: yes [18:54] dynamethod: delgroup [18:54] I found dansguardian but i don't know how to configure it [18:54] Petengy: you can install edubuntu on ubuntu [18:54] magnetron: is 7070 a normally used port in sshd?

[20:09] Dianabol: there are plenty of clients that do sftp (filezilla for one), but probably not generic windows [20:09] h00k: was the er before or after the caffeine deprivation... :p [20:10] CHadetz: then you could still mount the partitions and see what they contain (sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt ; ls /mnt) [20:10] !offtopic [20:10] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:10] Dianabol: did you get connected? [20:10] shingouz: during :) it caused my migraines/nausea, etc [20:10] Has anyone tried to triple boot OS X, Windows and 8.04 on a MacBook Pro? I've had a stab and it appears the 8.04 installer does something which leaves the windows partition thinking it can't boot. [20:10] ompaul: sorry, me and my big mouth [20:10] soundray: Ok thx, problem solved! [20:10] I do triboot [20:10] Dianabol: FTP was a internet protocol before windows existed. [20:11] I downloaded ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso using bittorrent; is there a straightforward way to get the upgrade tool to use it rather than the network? [20:11] shingouz, h00k carry that one on in #ubuntu-offtopic [20:11] perhaps [20:11] :) [20:11] Dream_Team: did you start with 7.10 or 8.04 installing? [20:11] can someone help me figure out why xorg would constanty spike to 70% of cpu when i aint running apps that take a lot of resources?

Whenever I drag a tab to the bookmarks, the graphic obscures the bookmarks and I cannot see into which folder I am dropping. Thanks in advance. [20:11] Baby_Shambl3s, have you tried `top` ? [20:11] it's the X server that's using the CPU? [20:12] fryfrog, sadly for you I didn't use ubuntu, but you must install grub on the partition (for example /dev/sda3 not /dev/sda) and use fixmbr in windows (xp) cd recovery console [20:12] Baby_Shambl3s: i see same thing, have to assume a bug somewhere [20:12] DanC: I have xorg is the problem but why i have no clue [20:12] soundray: resetting the permissions worked. Many thanks for your help! [20:12] I've definitely found a bug in disk usage analyzer - compared results to df, nautilus and filelight and free space is out by about 6GB (this is with the GVFS fix). Anyone know why this is? [20:12] garoux: pleasure. [20:12] Dianabol: I got connected via VNC, I stopped working on ssh and telnet when you were away. [20:12] fryfrog, the wiki I have followed was originally for ubuntu so it is great [20:12] Any news on syncing Google Calendar and Evolution?

I cant run compiz my card is not good enhough but yeah even with those the cpu shouldnt go crazy like that [20:13] !grub [20:13] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[20:16] Dream_Team: so here is what happens ... I install OSX, bootcamp install windows. This all works. I then slice out some space from the OSX, install 8.04. It works and boots, but leaves the partitions not synced. So I sync them with the rEFIt tool. [20:16] could anyone enlighten me on how to use the same openPGP (Enigmail) key for signing and encrypting mail in Thunderbird on several different computers? I think generating a new key pair for each machine is a bit inefficient [20:16] does ubuntu-restricted-extras have aac support in hardy [20:16] * h00k greets ArrPirate [20:16] now, after sync... windows doesn't boot [20:16] Nikolasr: downloading ubuntu will be faster.

[20:19] ejer: guessing you have no answers for me than, I should assume it is a bug, by the way how do i check if ubuntu has any drivers for my card? [20:19] Per_: there is a beta for linux [20:19] Baby_Shambl3s: best thing to do is search for bug... to see drivers, use 'lsmod' in terminal [20:19] Per_: just kidding - I thought there was [20:20] how to disable scrolling on laptop touch pad?

On startup i got an error: There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. [20:20] why do i have to go through tons of complicated manuals just to get an install [20:20] Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [20:20] GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. [20:20] omg.... [20:20] hook: i was thinking about to run it in wine, but i am so new at this so i am not sure how to. [20:21] EastCake: the last tab has those scrolling settings on it [20:21] Per_: use h00k as it will highlight my name - otherwise I have to search for it [20:21] Mashenka: because you have a mixed PATA-SATA setup -- that's pretty challenging for a boot loader ;) [20:21] No rsync 3 in any Ubuntu? :( [20:21] ubuntu Keitai i want to disable synaptics touchpad [20:21] Per_: download the windows version of it (.exe) to your desktop [20:21] Per_: do you have WINE installed? [20:22] When I play a movie on nfs drive it goes very slow motion. I,m also downloading a big file at 1200KB/s speed. Is that normal. Does the speed of my internal network become slowly when I,m dowloading from internet? [20:22] EastCake: completely? isn't there a bios setting to do so? [20:22] soundray, so should i keep reading that manual that wirechief gave me ? [20:22] h00k: hmm, like this?! [20:22] wirechief, it says its unsafe [20:22] noo, not like that.... [20:22] Per_: exactly. [20:22] Mashenka: you need to fix grub... you will need to go back into livecd [20:22] Mashenka: you may need that later, but right now I'd suggest another approach [20:22] h00k: yes, i have wine installed. [20:23] EastCake: anyways, in the mouse configuration, the last tab labled "Touchpad" has also a checkmark to disable it [20:23] soundray, ok ? [20:23] ejer: yah will do so [20:23] Mashenka: do you know which of your disks has boot priority from the BIOS? [20:23] Per_: cool. you can actually just double click on the .exe you downloaded [20:23] EastCake: System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad [20:23] soundray, no [20:23] Per_: and it should run [20:23] whats the best way to upgrade a certain software package when a new release has come out? ie i wana upgrade my lmms from 0.3.1 to 0.3.2 [20:23] soundray, its set to hard drive [20:24] Mashenka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [20:24] Per_: so far it is for me - I'm testing it too [20:24] Keitai: ah... ok thanks [20:24] am i the only one having serious lag in #ubuntu-offtopic? is it my net or soem kind of netsplit etc [20:24] xborgy: use the update-manager in system>administration [20:24] h00k: downloading now [20:24] xukun: well if you're on a 100mbit ethernet connection and you're downloading at 1200k/s then you will lose some speed, but not enough to slow the movie down, unless its VERY high quality. [20:24] Baby_Shambl3s: my lag is 1.1s [20:24] Mashenka: since you have several, there should be a way to specify exactly which one in the BIOS setup. [20:24] Keitai: for now, it's good. but in the future, i might need to use mouse, and disable touchpad scrolling [20:24] Per_: okay - I got it runnning :) [20:24] ejer: thats only for ubuntu updates lmms is a third party [20:24] Mashenka: btw, are you chatting from another machine? [20:25] xborgy: then you have to do it all manually [20:25] soundray, yes from another [20:25] Keitai: this cheap touch pad has a built-in scrolling feature, not realscrolling buttons [20:25] and whats the best way? [20:25] this is what ive been asking you know [20:25] is there any way to change the font of the title on my desktop icons in HardyHeron? [20:25] soundray, dones see an option to specify exactly which hard disk to use, there is just an option for hard disk, cd rom, floppy, scsi, usb, etc.... [20:25] soundray, not speicfically which one [20:26] xborgy: this is an lmms question not ubuntu, but likely just double clicking the .deb will work [20:26] hook: my last ping test to two different ppl gave me PING 1210014300 470488 which i know cant be right im not on 56k dam it [20:26] Mashenka: okay [20:26] Hi, when I go into Windows Wireless drivers it says Hardware Present: No for my new wireless pci card (WMP300N).

Your BIOS thinks that your XP HD is the first in the system. Grub thinks that your Ubuntu disk is first, so it looks for its data on the Windows disk, where it can't find it. [20:42] Mashenka: now let's think about how we fix that... [20:42] uugh ... i have an error when i upgraded to 8.04 about prelude-manager failing. When i go back and do a dpkg --configure -a to fix it it asks for the mysql password which i give it and it comes back with an error ... can anyone help ? [20:43] Hi folks - I'm still having some PPTP VPN issues and I was wondering if anyone had a moment to chat about it? [20:43] is there a chat log for this channel? [20:44] here is the bug info fyi ... but how do i fix it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/prelude-manager/+bug/91559 [20:44] When I watch movies (doesn't matter in which player), when the picture moves from sideways the video looks like someone is cutting it [20:44] Launchpad bug 91559 in prelude-manager "prelude-manager install script" [Undecided,In progress] [20:44] Mashenka: do a 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt' and put /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst on the pastebin pls [20:44] I've tried atleast 5 different players and both xv and opengl as output module but it makes no difference [20:44] soundray, just to let you know, at boot grub doesnt even take me to the option to select which OS to boot into, it goes into error17 right after "loading grub 1.5" [20:44] how can I prevent this? [20:44] ramukmar, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10309/ [20:44] Mashenka: yes, I understand that [20:45] Mashenka: I'm just looking for confirmation for my understanding of the problem in that file. [20:45] Amsg: are u feeling lucky??? //say $ip [20:46] holy sh*t I just as I was writing I disabled all desktop effects and no it's gone! [20:46] this is great! [20:46] erUSUL, ejer : I have found where the LiveCD finds the controller card in the PCI bus and where the installed Hardy doesn't. The boot events have been effectively identical up to that point.

[20:47] duse|, you can double click on them :-D [20:48] Mashenka: so why didn't you go back to the command I gave you and check whether you typed it wrong? Cause you did. [20:48] duse|, or from the command line use dpkg [20:48] rockets will ubuntu detect my usb once i plug it in? [20:48] duse|, 99% likely. [20:48] susanna777: my guess is there could be some files at the end of the disk...did a defrag help? [20:48] soundray, lol sorry [20:48] duse|, a USB Flash drive? [20:48] susanna777: you'd probably need to do an offline defrag [20:48] rockets: and then the dependencies of the depnedencies of the depndencies of xubuntu-restricted-extras??? it would be practically impossible [20:48] rockets yes [20:48] QUESTION: i have cd player connected via USB, software seems to be correctly detecting tracks etc but when I click play, counter starts, cdrom makes friendly noise, but I can't hear any voice from my speakers :[ [20:48] any ideas ?

[20:49] Lars_: yep that's mainly a hardware issue [20:49] Lars_: baaa? [20:49] redheat: Sure it's not already installed? Do you see anything on the control center about "advanced effects"? [20:49] soundray, cant see where i'm typing it wrong 'sudo mount dev/sda1 /mnt' [20:49] anyone have a clue how to fix this prelude manager issue?

[20:50] hi guys i have installed VNC tightvnc but if i connect to it i always just have a conole on it ... but i need to see my whole gnome session is this possible ? like RDP? [20:50] okay... [20:50] erUSUL, unlike kubuntu-restricted-extras and ubuntu-restructed-extras, xubuntu-restricted-extras is VERY small [20:50] where should I look [20:50] I had to download firefox 2 for windows using wine to get rhapsody installed but firefox will not connect to the internet [20:50] erUSUL, its definitely doable [20:50] what is the command for formating FAT32 part`? [20:50] ramukmar, okay i will try that thanks [20:50] How do I close my server? what command should I use*? [20:51] SliderMan: mkdosfs [20:51] thanks [20:51] Lars_, you mean shut down the computer? [20:51] thanks soundray [20:51] rockets: becouse it is a meta package (like ubuntu-desktop) but it easily will pull 40 MB of dependencies :-/ [20:51] Yes... [20:51] Lars_: sudo halt [20:51] susanna777: also, disable hibernation and the page file in windows [20:51] sudo shutdown -h now [20:51] redheat: Fire up the synaptic package manager and search for the package by name and install it and any gnome associated package [20:51] erUSUL, no, i mean the dependancy list is small, not the filesize [20:51] How do I convert a .mpg video to an avi in Ubuntu?

[20:52] Nutzebahn: try with mencoder [20:52] MOOOOO [20:52] susanna777: i can't remember exactly, but check in control panel -> system [20:52] I have AVIDemux. How do I change the resolution of the video? [20:52] :O [20:52] AJC, all I have to do is type compiz-fusion and that's it? [20:52] the avi video, that is [20:52] rockets what does( non-free version) mean u haev to pay? [20:52] ramukmar, on windows? [20:52] susanna777: another thing to try would be to turn off system restore [20:53] rockets: you must be an old unix guru. halt has been doing sync for you for ages. [20:53] quite often when downloading stuff from rapidshare via firefox the files are corrupt, is this ubuntu's or firefox's fault? [20:53] susanna777: yes [20:53] duse|, no, it doesnt. [20:53] rockets: just an example xubuntu-restric... depends on gstramer0.10-plugin-good that dpends on gstereamer-o.10-mad that depends on libmadX.Y that in turn depends on libwhatever.so.4.5 and so on .... do you get the picture? [20:53] redheat: In the package manager, though you might get a package name if you type it in a bash shell [20:53] cess_: rapidshares fault [20:53] why is that a better way? [20:53] soundray, no, im not, but i learned from an old unix guru [20:53] ramukmar, how do you turn off system restore? [20:53] ..thanks to the programmable completion [20:53] people, my "sound preferences" is stuck. how can i fix it? [20:53] ejer doesn't happen on windows pc [20:53] erUSUL, yeah true. well, like i said, without internet thats the only way i can think of. [20:53] what is he command for searching in the bash shell? [20:53] redheat: locate [20:53] is there a program included in ubuntu-desktop plays sound files from the command line? [20:53] soundray, also, i dont trust the computer. it cant hurt to type sync. [20:53] redheat: find [20:54] ere, I typed that, but it listed the resources on my system, what am I doing wrong [20:54] virtuald: aplay ormplayer should work [20:54] soundray, actually I learned from a solaris guru. [20:54] susanna777: right click on "my computer" -> properties -> system restore [20:54] virtuald: mplayer that is [20:54] using konsole [20:54] ok thanks [20:55] gnome-terminal ftw! [20:55] ramukmar, okay thanks [20:55] erUSUL, ejer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10313 === StoneApp2e is now known as Stonenewt [20:55] rockets: oh yeah, I wouldn't trust solaris either :) -- consider mounting your filesystems sync if you have that little trust ;) [20:55] Mashenka: how are you getting on? [20:55] susanna777: those things and a defrag should help...i thought gparted would take care of those files, but apparently not since you're having issues with gparted [20:55] soundray, actually, i trust solaris way more then i trust ubuntu. [20:56] ramukmar, okay thanks very much [20:56] /msg ubottu etiquette [20:56] * soundray lights his flamethrower [20:56] soundray, but its not suitable for a lot of things.

[20:57] !hi | vargaslucas [20:57] vargaslucas: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:57] why is that a better way to shutdown? (sync;sync;halt) [20:57] ejer: I'm on the liveCD. does that make a difference? [20:57] vecKt: system>admin>users and groups [20:57] I need some help [20:57] Lars_, well, it may not be true anymore, but sync;sync;halt forces your hard drive to flush its cache to disk. [20:57] hi all [20:57] How do I change the resolution of the video? [20:57] Ecclesiastes: in the actual install do that it is loading a dif module than livecd [20:57] hey guys what are you think, whats better gDesklets or Screenlets? [20:57] !ask | vargaslucas [20:57] vargaslucas: 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. :-) [20:57] Lars_, in other words, it ensures that your HD finishes writing everything its trying to write before the computer shuts down [20:57] dare: Screenlets [20:57] does anybody knows how to make it work the remote control of the pinnacle 110i [20:57] do I realy need gvfs ? I'm just a home users, one comp, no networks, no sharing (execpt for general internet) [20:57] Lars_: sync writes all filesystem buffers out to disk. It's not really necessary -- halt or shutdown do it for you anyway [20:58] Lars_: shutdown, init, telinit, reboot [20:58] ramukmar, thx [20:58] Ecclesiastes: if you have the two dmesg on files a "diff -u dmesg1 dmesg2" would be usefull for filling a bug report against the kernel because i suspect it is a kernel bug ...

I've come across a nasty case of grub error 21, and I'm using several disks.. :( [20:58] ghostz: did you check the md5sum? [20:58] Installed Hardy a couple of days ago. (Ubuntustudio that is.) I like the system so far. But. Now I have got that nasty IO-APIC timer not syncing bug, and it won't go away with lpj=8000000 on a macbook. I can only start up with recovery mode every fifth time or so. Anyone knows a solution for Hardy? (I used to use Ubuntu Gutsy (not studio) and the lpj=... trick fixed it, but not anymore.) [20:58] ramukmar, i verified the md5sum and I ran the cd verification from the install menu [20:58] soundray, cant figure out how to open /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst [20:59] ghostz: could be a faulty install CD (use the check CD boot option), insufficient RAM or faulty RAM [20:59] test [20:59] lirc help I guess [20:59] Mashenka: use 'cat /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst' to display it in the terminal, cut and paste from there [20:59] soundray, i was able to get all the way past the base install using the alternate cd but then it crashes immediately follwoing [20:59] ejer: I heard you to say I should reboot into the installed system and do a modprobe.

[21:03] i'm testing xdmcp with x-win32, vino is to slow [21:03] rockets yeah this sucks [21:03] jokka: just sudo apt-get install amsn ... [21:03] FD_F: you will have to be specific.. which card do you have? [21:03] duse|, and for future reference, this is #ubuntu, there is also an #xubuntu [21:03] it's freaking awsome !

[21:05] <_coredump_> TwoD, he cant open port 51413, iptables is not running, cant explain that coz my router settings havent changed [21:05] duse|, when you connect to the internet on that computer, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-restricted-extras [21:05] Mashenka: when you installed grub, it thought Ubuntu was on the *third* hard drive. This is really confusing... [21:05] rockets, it may not have been explicit bad language but language which was not necessary [21:05] duse|, that will do it all automatically [21:05] j/quit [21:05] xdmcp BEHIND your router, on your personnal network rocks !

The dvd plays (just) but is very jittery. Could this be a probem with dma, or hdparm? [21:05] Bodsda, youre right, clearly he should have said gosh darn it [21:06] erUSUL: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [21:06] hi there [21:06] _coredump_, I thought iptables was always active unless you told it not to be (by allowing all traffic, but I could be wrong). Just to be sure, try with an online portscanner or something. [21:06] rockets, any further discussion on the matter in #ubuntu-ops plz [21:06] isn't there an application called songbird? Why can't I find it in add/remove [21:06] anyone can help me wih this huge bug: http://pastebin.com/m4162d0af [21:06] How do I remove composite from my xorg?

If it was my system, I'd relegate all IDE (PATA) drives to other purposes and put Ubuntu next to XP on the SATA drive. [21:07] boat, #irssi [21:07] d00mz, I don't know what error 21 is, but have you tried reinstalling grub? I think it autodetects OS's then, if you're unsure about manually editing the config file [21:07] Mashenka: much better to have only drives of one type in a system. [21:07] FD_F: that shouil be supported through /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/ubuntu/wireless/iwlwifi/iwlwifi/compatible/iwl3945.ko <<< check if iwl3945 is loaded [21:07] isn't there an application called songbird?

[21:08] does someone else experience strange hangs with ff3.0b5 on u8.04? [21:08] Even a website that I could direct them to would be fine. [21:08] d00mz, oh, maybe the link I posted could help then [21:08] cgentry72: you can get it from here if you want: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird [21:08] Mr_SpOOn, right click on desktop, --> change background ... then click the 'add' button and browse to the pictures location [21:08] soundray, so lets try that? do you still have time to do this with me ?

[21:09] folks, I'm using hardy heron and I'm trying to install google toolbar, yet it won't install and it gives me this message google toolbar for firefox won't install because it's not compatible with this version of firefox [21:09] cgentry72: it should work just fine [21:09] erUSUL:i tried few times solve it with people here i`ll organize all the data and upload the details tomorrow [21:09] anyone else have a disastrous dist upgrade ? [21:09] Mr_SpOOn, sorry, wrong person [21:09] unop, are you there? [21:09] noelferreira, yes [21:09] d00mz, you're welcome =) [21:09] Mashenka: not really, but it should be straightforward [21:09] ramukmar, thank you [21:09] cgentry72: welcome :) [21:09] soundray, ok how can i restor e my mbr ? [21:10] ejer: I did the modprobe .. nothing. just the prompt [21:10] i need some help with firefox beta 5 [21:10] Mashenka: did you read the grub guide I sent u? [21:10] hi all [21:10] Ecclesiastes: now look for the disk [21:10] soundray, i see the ubuntu options screen [21:10] !mbr [21:10] 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 [21:10] hi [21:10] Viden - yeah I did [21:10] AMsg: feeling lucky? //say $ip [21:10] Viden: pretty good only a problem with my mouse and the ones derived from the fact that i run custom kernel/nvidia driver [21:10] Ecclesiastes: and do dmesg to see if it registered [21:10] Bodsda: it's ok :D [21:10] ejer: the problem is more complex than you think [21:10] unop, remember my problem? i still have it :( http://pastebin.com/m4162d0af wha did you do about your fan. i think now that this is something related with acpi [21:10] soundray: no, it is just an MBR issue [21:10] hittingpilot: /me too :P [21:10] ;~) [21:10] How do i get java working in firefox 3 beta 5 in hardy? i have sun-java6-p;lugin installed but java applets still dont work [21:10] my font got replaced in firefox after installed a font package [21:11] mine did seem to come up this time .. but i have issues to fix as always [21:11] Anyone able to help out with a VM bridge issue I'm having ? [21:11] Is there ANY sync program available on/for Hardy which can sync my pitures on my Nokia N82? [21:11] ejer: no it isn't. When you have a BIOS that jumbles up the disk order on every boot, you can do all the MBR fixing you want, but it won't help Mashenka [21:11] cgentry72: i found a better howto with help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [21:11] ThomasWaldmann, I don't get hangs, I get complete crashes without errors hehe. Mostly on my iGoogle page... :( [21:11] cgentry72: you can get it from the linuxmint repos [21:11] noelferreira, this does not look like an acpi related program .. rather the keystrokes that you are inputting are not being recognized by the keyboard driver .. did you reconfigure xorg and locales? [21:11] nvm, managed to find it myself. Cya. :) [21:11] soundray: i deal with these issues all the time, grub just needs to be installed properly, the bios does not change it on every boot [21:11] soundray, sorry to barge in to the convo -- the MBR fix is this due to grub errors? [21:11] soundray, it doesnt mix the drives on every boot [21:12] ramukmar, it runs but i get a few errors at startup [21:12] never boot from a Windows Disk unless your perpared to reinstall everything... As some Windows Disk just format and install.. beware [21:12] Bodsda: yes, error 17 [21:12] TwoD: hangs sometimes take a minute(!) to unhang [21:12] Hello, my sound stopped working so I googled the net for an answer; as always I found a fix. but this time the fix didn't do it for me.. I pasted in the first line: (sudo aptitude install alsa-oss) and everything went smoothly. But then i pasted in (sudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc) but gedit told me that there was no such file.. So I searched my entire computer for that directory but there was nothing o.0 Am I supposed to create it or so [21:12] mething? I'm a 1 day old linux user, so kinda fresh here :) [21:12] Polygon89, sorry for the dumb question, but you restarted FF, right? [21:12] cgentry72: i read about that too, they say the app works fine...what are the errors though? [21:12] Mashenka: it does -- what you've shown me proves it. However, I'm more than happy to entrust you to ejer now, as I have to log off... [21:12] soundray, which is what? maybe grub needs to be replaced to the MBR with sudo grub etc> [21:12] Twod, many times [21:12] soundray: Ecclesiastes most likely you installed the MBR to your windows drive, and it is looking for linux partition on that drive, can't find, so error 17, which if you look it up will say 'unexpected partition type' [21:12] ? [21:12] unop, only locales. if i reconfigure xorg i won't loose the xorg.conf? that's because i added there some important lines [21:13] anyone having my same problems? I can plug in AC charger till the battery is quite full. When the battery icon becomes orange, if i plug the AC power my laptop seems not to recognize it. Then rebooting the system the AC charger works. This from 7.10, now the same with 8.04. What's the matter? [21:13] rtm1981: what is the problem? no sound out of flash player on gutsy? [21:13] soundray, thanx for your time bro [21:13] ejer: I don't see anything in the dmesg ... [21:13] Polygon89 - find your Java directory /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/ [21:13] Polygon89, ok, I don't remember if I've got Java installed in FF3. If not, I'll try it now and see if I get the same problem. [21:13] Ecclesiastes: sudo fdisk -l does not show it still? [21:13] ejer, so the first topic in grub howto tells to press esc, and i tried that it doesnt do anything, still goes into error17 [21:13] Mashenka: good luck [21:13] I have a bad font problem can anyone help? [21:13] noelferreira, if you do this command, the old xorg.conf is backed up. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [21:13] Can anyone help as to why i have no desktop background or the ability to right click my desktop after an upgrade to 804? [21:13] yes, no sound on youtube and other flash sites using latest ubuntu version (sorry about that, completely forgot to mention the problem ^^) [21:13] ThomasWaldmann, no weird plugins or extensions? [21:13] Mashenka, are you booted into live cd? [21:14] Anyone know how I can grow an XFS partition? [21:14] Bodsda, no [21:14] Polygon89 - go to your mozilla plugins directory (hidden in Home) [21:14] mIb, ok now what? [21:14] Bodsda, should i ? [21:14] Mashenka: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto look at changing disk grub is installed to [21:14] noelferreira, if you get your keyboard working alright this way, you can always edit the new xorg.conf and place those lines again. [21:14] ejer: nope. just the sda partitions. [21:14] Mashenka, i can walk you through restoring ggrub from live session [21:14] TwoD: all from ubuntu repo [21:14] Bodsda, please [21:14] Is there ANY sync program, any at all, available on/for Hardy which can sync my pitures on my Nokia N82?

[22:09] <[DMC]> even the remote desktop viewer app cannot connect to the same box when "only allow local connections" is checked. [22:09] <[DMC]> something is broken. [22:10] <[DMC]> I get the same behavior on two 8.04 boxes [22:10] utti pazzi per mary [22:10] the driver for that sound card is visible here in hardy heron as realtek alc888 oss mixer, and also there are a number of other drivers appearing on the sound preferences..

[22:17] When i use compiz to flip through my desktops - I only have 2. How can I add additional desktops? [22:18] moya: found this http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-set-up-a-serial-console-on-ubuntu [22:18] The thing is 6.06 installs seemlessly and boots perfectly... and so did Ubuntu 7 [22:18] Hi, i need help with setting up dual monitor using the "ati" or "radeon" driver. I am on hardy heron. [22:18] hm... [22:18] fluidd: right click on the workspace switcher->properties [22:18] fluidd: right click the desktop switcher [22:18] fluidd: preferences rather [22:18] djhash, same partition as they were on? [22:18] I don't have the desktop switcher. [22:18] djshash, where did you install grub? [22:18] I removed it because i'm running AWN.. I removed that entire panel. [22:18] fluidd: do you have 2 boxes in your lower right panel next to the trash can? [22:18] when I try to autodetect devices in Amarok (I need this for the ipod), appears this message: 'No new media devices were found. If you feel this is an error, ensure that the DBUS and HAL daemons are running and KDE was built with support for them. You can test this by running "dcop kded mediamanager fullList" in a Konsole window.' What does this mean? [22:19] thats why i don't remove my top panel, heh [22:19] why 50% of the problems here seem to come from awn? [22:19] it's not giving any grub messages.. [22:19] Y-Town: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [22:19] ejer: did the lsmod tell you anything? [22:19] ejer: because people like to give up functionality for eyecandy [22:19] PedanticSteve, No, I removed that entire panel.. (it's the lower panel) because I'm running AWN. I can always add it to the TOP PANEL, but I was just wondering if there's a way around it. [22:19] ah ok, you could change it via gconf, or compizconfig-settings manager i suppose [22:19] Sigh; AWN has nothing to do with my problem. [22:19] I already tried a few howtos i found in the ubuntu forums... didn't have much success though... i have set this up successfully before, only it was with gobolinux... [22:19] hm..... no grub messages? [22:19] I can easly add the applett back.. i was hoping there was another way around it. [22:19] my head is going to blow up [22:19] if that's the case it's time for super grub cd! XD [22:19] this is fucking obnoxious [22:19] Ecclesiastes: no, I am stumped... I could weasel out and say sorry, hardware seems unsupported, but I am sure it can work somehow... [22:20] how can i determine who "owns" a ubuntu package( specfically, the "twiki" package)? [22:20] fluidd: you could change it via gconf, or compizconfig-settings manager i suppose [22:20] Kohlrak: lol xD superman [22:20] tag, language - that will get you nowhere [22:20] erUSUL: thanks [22:20] hello, has anyone had an issue with compiz and perforce's p4v? When p4v pops up certain dialogs, my desktop freezes and compiz goes to 100% CPU [22:20] guys can any one help me pls. 8 04 is not detecting my memory stich duo pro, thanks [22:20] tag, whats the problem? [22:20] ramukmar, I'll check the settings. [22:20] tag, just stick around here for a few days and it won't be bad [22:20] you learn to only read stuff that you recognize and ignore the system messages [22:21] ejer: if I were to copy the drivers from the LiveCD to the installed, would that make any difference? [22:21] ryoohki: ls -l twiki [22:21] ejer: actually that is a stupid question. [22:21] Kohlrak: Heh. I've been using *nix for like 10 years. I'm talking about trying to configure this ATI driver. [22:21] ramukmar, where exactly is it at in the compiz settings.. do u remember? dont worry about it if u dont remember off the top of ur head. [22:21] ROFLMAO [22:21] ryoohki, apt-cache show twiki [22:21] ejer: Rather, how can I get the installed system to load the same drivers as the LiveCD? [22:21] fluidd: should be in /apps/compiz/screen0 [22:21] guys can any one help me pls. 8 04 is not detecting my memory stich duo pro, thanks [22:22] tag, is it not working or is it specific configuration? ATI has been a bigproblem for ubuntu fresh installs [22:22] fluidd: you'll want to change hsize and vsize, that's in gconf-editor btw...not in compiz settings [22:22] Ecclesiastes: well, that is the question, that is what my rmmod command was supposed to do, but it seems prob is moree that that [22:22] tag: nice :> so every distribution another adventure? ^^ [22:22] Kohlrak: Just trying to disable big desktop. [22:22] I can't do an install from the liveCD of hardy, i have to get gutsy and upgrade to hardy because hardy doesn't recognize my ATI card correctly [22:22] oh [22:22] hm.... [22:23] how do I make SIOCSIFFLAGS give back my eth0? it keeps saying resource temporarily unavailable [22:23] is there like an lsof but for ethernet devices? [22:23] h4mx0r, broadcom card? [22:23] what specific problem are you having, tag? [22:23] ramukmar, change them to what? [22:23] fluidd: i can't recall exactly where in compizconfig now [22:23] Ok [22:23] pp [22:23] DOn't worry about it; I'll just re-add the applet [22:23] Seems to be the easiest way to do it. [22:23] how do I install grub to a usb hd from hardy live cd? [22:23] Kohlrak: Using the tool it doesn't seem to actually work, and then I tried to manually remove it and it doesn't seem to work either...so then I try paving over the config and reconfiguring X and it doesn't have hardware accelleration, I turn on the accelleration and it stop working entirely and so on [22:23] fluidd: hsize is the number of columns basically, and vsize the number of rows [22:23] Kohlrak: for the last three hours [22:23] flyawerx: nope its a perfectly regular ethernet card that works out of the box with every other distro and past ubuntu versions besides 8.04 [22:23] h4mx0r, netstat [22:23] fluidd: in your workspace switcher [22:23] is it possible to automatically detect partitions (ntfs or otherwise) and add them with correct settings to fstab? [22:24] fluidd: so hsize 4 and vsize 1 is the cube [22:24] hm [22:24] ejer: well now that I have been introduced to dmesg, lsmod, modprobe, and rmmod, I can muck around with it until it breaks ... [22:24] Kohlrak if the monitor is not dvi connected it can fail everytime. it failed for me too [22:24] flyawerx: any idea what to look for with netstat and how to end it? [22:24] try.... sudo dpkg-configure xserver-xorg [22:24] ramukmar, I see what you're taking about. I changed that with workspace switcher. [22:24] hello i want to join this community [22:24] fluidd: cool [22:24] ctrl-c to end it, not sure what your looking for, it just shows you whats going on like lsof does for hd's [22:24] Ecclesiastes: yep... this is how we do it ;) [22:24] i have a question with Apache2 on Ubuntu. Apache wont execute my perl scripts in the browser instead it asks to download the file. They are chmod 755 and i have AddHandler cgi-script .pl add in my configuration. I am trying to execute this scripts out side the cgi-bin i have +ExecCGI set in the options. [22:24] Kohlrak: then when I switch to the terminal because X won't start correctly, it's grey with some flashing maddness [22:25] hah [22:25] ramukmar, what's the setting for adding 2 additional desktops, though? [22:25] hm.... [22:25] Kohlrak: all because I decided to plug my personal laptop into my dock this morning...should have known better! [22:25] Oh, NM [22:25] I found it [22:25] fluidd: increasing hsize by 2 should work [22:25] fiyawerx: lshw says network disabled not unclaimed meaning it has a driver and is workable [22:25] tag do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that helps [22:25] It doesn't though.. [22:25] ok.. what have i missed?!!! [22:25] wirechief: See above, I've done that about five times today [22:25] ejer: still no suggestion on discovering the boot routine that is driving all this? [22:25] apps/compiz/screen0/options/number_of_desktops [22:25] hm.... if dpkg-reconfigure busts it, you might be in for a reinstall XD [22:26] I guess I need to restart X for the changes to occur [22:26] Ecclesiastes: the boot routine is always the same, what exactly are you trying to find out about boot routine? [22:26] fluidd: bump. I just tried it here, worked for me [22:26] tag ok well who said this was easy to use (kicks butts) [22:26] you havn't missed much djhash [22:26] Ecclesiastes: dmesg is a log of the boot routine as it were [22:26] Didn't work for me brother.. I changed it to 2/2 in the properties. [22:26] is anyone using nvidia with two separate displays ? [22:26] I only have 2 desktops, thugh [22:26] fluidd: no need to restart x...hmm [22:26] wirechief1 & fiyawerx: thanks [22:26] tag i use a cheat to install ati drivers ;) [22:26] Kohlrak: you have to laugh alot i see :) [22:26] orudie: yes, and they work, no google maps is not jittery [22:26] wirechief cheater!!! xD [22:27] hello! any hardware geek here? I got a nvidia graphics card and a pcmcia audigy zs 2 notebook soundcard; they are lying on the same IRQ which seems to make trouble, because as soon as I use the soundcard and the nvidia module (hardware acceleration) the system freezes after about 5 seconds to 15 minutes [22:27] i do, spanther. It's my nature. XD [22:27] fluidd: compiz does not use desktops [22:27] guys can any one help me pls. 8 04 is not detecting my memory stich duo pro, thanks [22:27] Kohlrak: lol same here welcome in club mate xD [22:27] ejer: there is a difference between the LiveCD and the Installed system. I believe if i trace it, I could find the problem. [22:27] XD is sort of a period for me when i'm happy XD [22:27] fluidd: and you cannot use gconf-editor, always use ccsm [22:27] #ubuntu-games [22:27] Hello, is it possible to create a shortcut which opens a program on a particular workspace in Gnome? [22:27] ccsm? [22:27] hey [22:27] Ecclesiastes: we did trace it... it is in the pastebin you sent [22:27] ejer, i set it as 2 separate displays, restarted X, now everything became even slower [22:27] spanther i always take easy way to install ati drivers , this automatic install fails everytime [22:27] !ccsm | fluidd [22:27] fluidd: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'.

[23:13] i have twinview enabled now, but if i try to set a desktop, it looks fubar, because its a 24" and a 19" [23:13] krabador, hmm ok so what are the symtoms? simply no sound support? anything else you have encounter that might be clues? [23:14] is anyone here experienced with nvidia drivers and settings , setting up multiple screens etc.... [23:14] it is 3rd party [23:14] hm.... === prinewgirl is now known as priscila [23:14] you might have a long wait for support then [23:14] meheren, i watch the video, but audio is dead [23:14] did you try going to the site for the program?

But after a while the flash videos stop playing (just appear a grey box where the flash video is suppose to be) in firefox and I have to restart it. I still don't know if that because the workaround. If you do it and the grey box thing happen to you come back here and tell me [23:15] meheren: totem-xine never plays audio, for all file types [23:15] like when i go to settings, advanced, i have to wait like 3 seconds before it responds [23:15] balle_:i try [23:15] Yes it's because i have XP and I will through it away [23:15] and add some more space to my /home partition [23:15] krabador: just to be certain at least it is on the desktop in the top right corner be default [23:15] well, try that first [23:16] just one more question, do i want to set the bootable mode for my ext3 partition to on or off [23:16] krabador, that is very odd have you tried the apt-get update upgrade thing? [23:16] nikolaj so your win partition will be unallocated space.if that is a case then yes [23:16] unless some one else uses that program we won't kno wwhat to tell you.

[23:17] never heard of ADA programming language before, you're probably be in a long wait. Most people probably don't program and secondly it's not a well known language so you're in for a sit.
