[00:00] thingfish, nvidia-config and nvidia-settings ? [00:00] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: the package selection is minimal, there are lots of ways to customize it [00:00] Hmm... what was it that I thought of then? [00:00] I need some help with nvidia driver installation on fiesty fawn [00:00] fde do u think it could be due to the Beryl or Compiz desktop i have going ? [00:00] nvidia-settings is unusable at 640x480 [00:00] thingfish: I've started a bug on this, feel free to pile it on [00:00] E-something. [00:00] steph291, are you doign it it from syunaptic or add/remove? because im doing from add remove and its not asking me to remove ubuntu desktop [00:00] justin__, drivers for what ? [00:00] steph291: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package to ease upgrades... just install it before any dist-upgrades... [00:00] steph291: ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage. You can safely remove it. [00:00] ok [00:00] ok komputes - an ubuntu forum? [00:00] Mimi: I tried what you said, but when I pluged in my Ipod it still brought up "Media Player" [00:00] will try [00:00] I love the GUI compared to Windows. [00:01] steph291: why are you removing OOo though? [00:01] !ot | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf [00:01] arbir: Not unless you're trying to change KWin themes... hehe [00:01] gnyffel, I don't know what envy is ;P [00:01] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:01] thingfish: launchpad, second, getting the URL [00:01] I have an nvidia graphics card and the drivers but when I run the intaller it tells me that I already have an x session running and can't go furthur [00:01] vbman11, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766597 [00:01] That I need to stop the x session to install the drivers. [00:01] thingfish: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/207409 [00:01] But I was disappointed that my USB HDD had troubles. It was detected during the "live test" mode, but after installing Ubuntu, it gave an error about "unclear unmounting" that made me have to enter a scary command to FORCE it to unmount. But then it seems to work fine. [00:01] I don't need openoffice it'a remote dev. pc [00:01] Launchpad bug 207409 in xorg "[HARDY] xserver-xorg does not auto-configure correctly" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:01] fde , i installed Eric Python IDE and the menus are super small.. so is the text inside the editor... nothing gets changed even after i tried changing font size in KDE and within the app itself [00:02] ariqs: the envyng package. Try installing envyng-core, running sudo envyng -t, then pick the option to remove ATI drivers [00:02] I hit ctrl + Alt + F6 to start a new thingy and ran the same commands and got the same error message [00:02] Will that happen every single time that I turn off the HDD? [00:02] justin__: is there some reason you can't just use the restricted drivers manager? [00:02] I tried that but I don't know which drivers to install from the list [00:02] So I downloaded the appropriate drivers from nvidia [00:02] Ah. Eudora was the e-mail client I was thinking about before. Sorry. [00:02] gnyffel: thanks [00:03] ere4si, my usb drive is not powered by usb cable (i know what its talking about because my bf's drive IS powered by usb cable -- mine isnt) [00:03] justin__: all you have to do is type in a terminal "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and then, when your desktop goes away, do ctrl+alt+F6 and log in as root. Then run the script. [00:03] eh oh well im sick of this [00:03] steph291: I wouldn't remove things that ubuntu-desktop depends on, unless they actively get in your way. [00:03] ariqs: you're welcome. let me know if it works. [00:03] arbir: you need to configure that through qt4-assistant or something similar. [00:03] justin__: 'all of them' -- it will only offer you drivers that are actually going to be useful to you.. [00:03] how do I start the gui back up? [00:03] I just need ajunta, glade designer [00:03] Pidgin does support Web cameras over "MSN", right? [00:03] arbir: KControl is for KDE3 apps. [00:03] Is this off-topic? [00:03] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no [00:03] justin__: /etc/init.d/gdm start [00:03] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no [00:03] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: unfortunately [00:03] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, no it does not :( [00:03] can I find out why trackerd is using so much cpu? [00:03] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: no, try amsn [00:03] try Skype [00:03] I thought... I thought... :( [00:03] justin__: or reboot ;) [00:03] its not their fault tho [00:03] msn protocol sucks [00:03] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: skype kinda works [00:03] It sure does. [00:04] justin__: you do know that if you install nvidia's drivers, your system is going to go back to a text login just about every time you update, right? [00:04] fde: i am using Ubuntu, and Eric is a KDE app.. it does not say, its specific to KDE 4... [00:04] okay sweetness [00:04] I'm going to give that a shot! [00:04] Thanks! [00:04] I'll be back if it doens't work. [00:04] how do I reinstall ubuntu on my pc? i am dual booting with vista [00:04] arbir: I'm telling you it is ;) [00:04] "Add this path to your /etc/X11/XF86Config config" <--- this doesn't exist in ubuntu so where should I look? [00:04] oh and by the way there doesn't appear to be a nvidia-config available [00:04] when i try to umount a disc it says that the device is busy, can i somehow see whats using the disc or w/e makes it busy?

[00:04] fde then what must i do ? to change the settings ? [00:04] arbir: That is what I'm saying. [00:04] KlasRudian: how are you trying to unmount it? [00:05] Can someone please tell me where to find settings for compiz-fusion? When I updated the repositories after a fresh install it updated it but I still can't find the settings for it. [00:05] steph291: for specialized purposes, it's better to install Ubuntu Server Edition and add whatever you need -- easier and safer than installing lots of stuff and then removing it again [00:05] I have an athlon x2 cpu which is overheating under load, which causes the computer to switch off. Is there a way to throttle cpu speed when temperature exceeds a certain level? [00:05] arbir: I told you... qt4-assistant. [00:05] zcat[1]: depends. If he adds them to dkms, that shouldn't be a problem [00:05] server eu.undernet.org:6667 [00:05] fde : let me install it [00:05] in a week justin will be returning to windows because every time he updates he has to go through some complicated driver reinstall just to keep the GUI working and he'll be tellign everyone how 'linus isn't ready for the desktop' [00:05] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: give it some love, in time you'll see how well thought it is [00:05] zcat[1], you must have the wrong channel-->failure is in that channel -->##windows [00:05] askvicto1: add a fan, check your heatsink. [00:05] Mimi: I have Hardy, so there isn't a multimedia tab [00:05] ere4si, what you mean? "sudo umount /mnt/somedisc" is what i use... it's a harddrive.... [00:06] hey my trackerd is going crazy how do I fix it? [00:06] vbman11, read all of it please.... *facepalm [00:06] zcat[1]: dkms takes care of the broken X on kernel update [00:06] Mimi, "Add this path to your /etc/X11/XF86Config config" <-- what's the Ubuntu equiv? [00:06] if only ubuntu used slackware as its base distro [00:06] can i have both openbox & fluxbox in ubuntu? do i need to have both? [00:06] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: once you get the hang of 'linux', it's all consistent [00:06] arbir: sorry, it's 'qt4-qtconfig' [00:06] Wait... what? Am I on freenode? :-) [00:06] bazhang: 'nvidia-glx' -- nice smooth, trouble-free drivers. 'NVIDIA-whatever.BIN' -- FAIL. [00:06] hey, how do i add a jre 1.3 plugin to firefox... seems to not recognize it even if i put libjavaplugin_oji.so into my local .mozilla/firefox/plugins directory [00:06] fde": alright.. let me try [00:06] I thought that this was a custom Ubuntu IRC server. [00:06] lol [00:06] whoops [00:07] gravemind: no need to do anything, just give it an hour to do its thing and it won't bother you much anymore [00:07] Anyone had issues with Audacious refusing to play files and listing length as 0:00 in Hardy? [00:07] what takes care of fixing the NVIDIA binary package install?!! [00:07] offload i dont know, i think that readme is outdated, i dont think X uses xf86 anymore! [00:07] Mimi: I tried manualy typing "banshee" and "banshee-1" also, same result [00:07] jwl007: java 1.3 needs to be the default java imlementation, test from the command line. java -version [00:07] zcat[1]: The Ubuntu experience is far superior to that of OpenSUSE (who pay the guy that maintains drivers) or Fedora/RedHat who both refuse to even include such things... [00:07] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: you thought you were ranting to help desk staff? [00:07] is now downloading the installing qt4-qtconfig [00:07] zcat[1]: envyng is generally reliable if you want newer drivers than those in the default repos [00:07] download server is not responding :-( [00:07] Mimi: and installed podsluth [00:07] gnyffel: it's making a mess, anyway ;) [00:07] shivamib: ? :S [00:07] jwl007: though is there a reason you are using such an old version of java? [00:07] ChaosParser, do you have firefox / epiphany open when you play the music and if so can you close firefox and try to play the file then? [00:08] kbrosnan: legacy applet testing [00:08] !envyng [00:08] 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. [00:08] my emerald won't start on login, i have to emerald --replace every time. anyone got a fix? is that a bug in Hardy? [00:08] One minor annoyance that I have discovered so far is that selecting the bottom-left corner of a GUI window is very difficult. [00:08] ok, thanks anyway. I'll try back later. [00:08] gnyffel: It started to uninstall and decided it needed to download 13 megs of packages to do so. Why? [00:08] !envy [00:08] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: welcome aboard :) [00:08] vbman11, i dont know anymore i pointed you to that thread because they know how to. if you have any questions , respond to the thread please [00:08] kindofabuzz, put in session startup command [00:08] zcat[1]: Unfortunately, we can't concentrate on what Nvidia and ATI decide when planning new versions, we have no control over them, and they shouldn't have control over FOSS. [00:08] Thanks... [00:08] kindofabuzz, yes wait a minute :) [00:08] !envy [00:08] 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. [00:08] ariqs: it wants to reinstate a default driver. Mesa. It won't hurt you. Can't tell you how to skip it, though. [00:08] bazhang: yeah i thought of that, but in gutsy you didn't have to do that [00:08] Mimi: k thanks [00:08] Mimi: Closed firefox, same deal. Already dumped the audacious config files, rebooted, and reinstalled via synaptic. [00:09] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: you can customize that, i guess... along with anything else [00:09] !fishing | Baby_Shambl3s [00:09] I am a little worried that GUI elements seem to be a little "sluggish", though. Maybe it is on purpose. [00:09] Baby_Shambl3s: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [00:09] Hello people i need some program for Linux Ubuntu 7.10 program like " Apple - Logic Express " but i need it for linux can somebody help me please i need to make some tracks plz... [00:09] bazhang: or atually it may have been in sessions in gutsy, just hardy doesn't put it there for you [00:09] Or maybe I need to install drivers and stuff. [00:09] * dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf looks around. [00:09] fde, gnyffel: yes, there are many, many good ways to install the nvidia drivers.. nvidis-glx or nvidis-glx-envy seem to be OK... downloading the nvidia binary package, exiting out of the GUI, installing from a terminal, etc.. makes people think "Linus is hard" when it really isn't even necessary. And AND It will cause the system to break on every kernel upgrade as well. SO whay are we telling people to do this in here? Can we just not, p [00:09] lease, unless they have a card that actually requires it? [00:09] KlasRudian: try sudo umount -fv /mnt/somedisk [00:10] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: some people call it 'clean'. but that's just the default theme... go to system -> preferences -> appearance [00:10] kbrosnan: by symlinking all /usr/bin/java* stuff, will that make it my default java? [00:10] or better yet, enable compiz :) [00:10] Hello people i need some program for Linux Ubuntu 7.10 program like " Apple - Logic Express " but i need it for linux can somebody help me please i need to make some tracks plz... [00:10] PEOPLE PLS [00:10] i need help :( [00:10] bosanac: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:10] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: and finger salute aero [00:10] bosanac: google.com [00:10] shivamib: I like it, but when you move it, it sort of "slugs" around. [00:10] kindofabuzz: dont works that. [00:10] Resize and whatnot. [00:10] !ask | bonsanac [00:10] bonsanac: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:11] ere4si, naah the same [00:11] (New HP laptop here.) [00:11] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: like, wobbly? [00:11] bosanac: huh? [00:11] Good evening again - I think I 'broke' something on my installation... For some reason, every time I put my flashdisk in, Ubuntu mounted it read-only, so I decided to right click on the icon, go to properties and removed the 'ro' bit from the mount options. Now, whenever I stick in the disk, it just says 'Invalid mount option when mounting the disk'. How can I get back to that properties page to fix it? [00:11] zcat[1]: I don't recall recommending a plain nvidia driver install. No question it is more proper to either make sure your driver gets updated with the kernel, og add it to dkms.

[00:11] shivamib: Hehe... nah. Not like that. I mean internal GUI elements. [00:11] bosanac: there isn't an application like Logic for ubuntu [00:11] Draggin: try chaning it to rw ? [00:11] soundray_: i dont need to be like logic [00:11] *changing [00:11] I think Ubuntu has detected "semi fancy" graphics for my box.

Logic Express 8 offers a simple, flexible approach to multitake recording [00:12] bosanac, check the google link i sent ya [00:12] jwl007: what might be best is to symlink the java 1.3/bin/java to /usr/local/bin/java so it can easily be undone [00:12] KlasRudian: ok then [00:12] bleaked - but where - I can't get to that page again, since it doesn't mount it [00:12] fde: you are my champion [00:12] bosanac: what exactly are you looking for?

[00:13] lol..... [00:13] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: system -> administration -> hardware driver [00:13] bosanac: there is no such thing. Creating music on Linux is much more low level. There are many tools, but you have to delve into it. It's not a 'have to do a few tracks in an hour' kind of thing [00:13] can i have both openbox & fluxbox in ubuntu? do i need to have both? [00:13] bosanac, please check the link i sent you, all you need is there. [00:13] is anyone here knowledgeable about lvm mirroring [00:13] Draggin: um..not sure.. i only use kde.. and not too familiar.. didn't you say it was on a device icon or applet? [00:13] and how it performs fail over? [00:13] Mimi:"sudo ln -s /usr/bin/banshee-1 /usr/local/bin/rhythmbox", Now it Works!! Thanks for leading me on the right path though!

[00:14] zChris: if thats the case which is better? [00:14] thanks soundray_ [00:14] arbir: I'm not sure why that would be, it _should_ be configurable via qt4-qtconfig, provided you're using the right settings etc. [00:14] gnyffel, whatever works ;p looks like when i had to rename gnome-panel to gnome-panel-backup to stop it from launching lol [00:14] KlasRudian: great :) [00:14] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: uhh... like 2002? [00:15] Baby_Shambl3s: i think its a matter of personal preference === SESSO_CELL is now known as Mcaldo [00:15] fde qt4-qtconfig does not provide any option for text inside a window [00:15] zChris: which would you choose on a decent system? [00:15] Mimi: now it says my ipod is emtpy. [00:15] Hehe! My laptop can manage the "fancy" graphics setting! [00:15] Cool wobbly windows. [00:15] Baby_Shambl3s: have no idea, sorry [00:16] zChris: np will check them out hopefully wont mess the system doing so [00:16] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, make them wobble, make them fire, then stop the fire with the rainwater~ [00:16] lol Mimi [00:16] !ccsm | dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf try this for fancier [00:16] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf try this for fancier: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'.

[00:16] Draggin: perhaps you could try to unplug and plug back in.. idk.. ask around the channel.. unfortunately i'm actually on my way out the door and just stopped in here before i left to check for someone.. so if you'll excuse me.. [00:16] I doubt my poor lappy can handle fancy 3D boxes... [00:17] Baby_Shambl3s: shouldnt be too much of a hassle, just apt-get them and choose them in "Settings-> Sessions" in gdm [00:17] arbir: maybe try 'systemsettings-kde4' - but that will depend half of kde4 probably :( [00:17] Okay... Bleaked is gone... Is there perhaps someone else who could help me get my USB disk up and running again? [00:17] so a couple of days i heard of gmarks only to find out it doesnt work with FF3b5 :/, so can people here suggest good bookmark function which allows online storage i.e. I which to have a backup of bookmarks online? [00:17] Sorry if I appear to ignore somebody... this IRC client (Pidgin) doesn't clearly mark replies.

[00:18] zChris: yeah will do so but i tend to break stuff its a bad habit of mine? [00:18] for gcc development I need autoconf v2.59 instead of 2.61 which is in hardy, any pointers on how I can install 2.59 on hardy ? [00:18] Baby_Shambl3s: hehe :) [00:18] Wow!

[00:20] askvicto1: i think so apt-cahe search .... [00:20] arbir: If you're using Hardy, go to Applications > Accessories > Tracker Search Tool ... or System > Preferences > Search and Indexing to set it up. [00:20] can someone please tell me the easiest way to convert .vob files to .avi files? [00:20] arbir: actually, deskbar applet will use tracker, yes [00:20] hi, I have a problem with Totem. Often, I will be playing an mp3, a video or even something off of the web and suddenly, my entire computer freezes, requiring a hard restart. Any ideas? I am running Hardy w/ compiz enabled.

[00:22] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, you want to "view" it. the Run if for when you script [00:22] BOZG: There is an issue will all *.archive.ubuntu.com repos currently. [00:22] can someone please tell me the easiest way to convert .vob files to .avi files? [00:23] arbir: System > Administration > Search and Indexing :) [00:23] fde: Does it relate to automatic updates by any chance? [00:23] BOZG: That repo is where you get updates, so sure... [00:23] barslol: try googling mencoder [00:23] i dont see searching and indexing @ fde [00:23] does ubuntu come with a VNC server? [00:23] do i have to install something @ fde ? [00:23] fde @ sorry spoke too son [00:24] barslol: it's what I use, although it is a command line tool [00:24] its actually under System - > preferences [00:24] fde: I'm just asking because I'm being notified of available updates but constantly getting a 404 error for the updates. I've checked the repositories through my browser and the files that are supposedly updates are missing and I'm wondering why that is. [00:24] Baby_Shambl3s: you installed from beta.foxmarks.com? [00:24] fde @ any idea, if this tracker tool is like google desktop ? [00:24] arbir: 'sudo aptitude install tracker' <-- there is a specific reason I'm saying this command, so please don't use synaptic or apt-get [00:24] fde @ google desktop sucked my CPY dry [00:24] anyone ever had audacious refuse to play files, and list track length as 0:00? [00:24] barslol: also, avidemux is great for any transcode job, although sometimes it can desync the audio [00:25] BOZG: ok... please try what ubottu said. [00:25] Mimi: Why would it think that a .txt is a script, though? [00:25] arbir: Its native, so it shouldnt be that bad, and it has resource settings. personally, i don't like it, but thats just me [00:25] barslo1: winff would be a good bet for vob > avi [00:25] barslo1: http://www.winff.org/ [00:25] thanks alot [00:25] gnyffel: oh ok cause yeah the one they have foes up to 2.xx yeha thanx [00:25] Mencoder is complicated [00:25] fde: Just did. Always an error in all repositories. Thanks. [00:25] ChaosParser: what do you use ? [00:25] On doing a sudo apt-get update/upgrade the systems shows that 4 packates have been kept back. Why? libqt4-core, libqt4-gui, libqt4-qt3support & libqt4-sql [00:25] Obviously* [00:25] ChaosParser: i have been using the good old find command [00:26] Baby_Shambl3s: If you have ff2 installed anywhere, remember you need to use the beta on those as well. You can't mix beta and non-beta clients [00:26] barslol: ya, my bad, it was the first thing to come to my mind [00:26] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, well , if you come from windows you have .txt, .mov etc etc extentions, right? in linux., extentions mean crappoola, im guessing the file is chmod +x for some reason lol but you know what [00:26] Scunizi: I'm having the same errors. It appears to be a problem with all the repositories. [00:26] arbir: I don't, generally. I mean, the closest I use to anything like that is gnome-do. Which finds things just fine. But I;m somewhat OCD about my file organization, so. [00:26] BOZG: good to know it's not just me.. thanks [00:26] hello, I was wondering how to install google earth [00:26] Scunizi: Are you getting a failed to fetch / 404 error? [00:26] michalski: download the file and double click on it. [00:26] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf, you can disable that dialog by going to nautilus preferences then Behaviour and Executable text files: change to View when opened [00:27] BOZG: not this time.. but I have in the past tries. [00:27] !medibuntu | michalski [00:27] michalski: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:27] Michalski, You'll need WINE if they don't have a linux package [00:27] soundray_: That has nothing to do with google earth? [00:27] Scunizi: That seems to be my problem at the moment. I've 18 updates being held back. [00:27] michalski: install it from the medibuntu repository [00:27] Fishscene: they do have a linux package. [00:27] i did, it says it doesnt know what to do with it, its a bin file for "linux" [00:27] Fishscene: No, you don't. they have a linux package. [00:27] (((QUESTION))))) can anyone tell me what this means and how to do it? "then linked it into rcS.d" from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=237561&postcount=2 [00:27] soundray_: ok [00:27] michalski: install 'googleearth-package' ... no need for medibuntu [00:27] mk i have installed ubuntu on my wifes pc and she has a wireless nic and i was just wondering where or even if i could set the wpa personal password for the network so she doesnt have to type it in ever single time she boots up? [00:27] michalski: Right click on it, and mark it as allow as executable. [00:27] BOZG: yea.. I've been trying different repos with pretty much the same results. [00:28] ChaosParser: it does indeed [00:28] hi, I have a problem with Totem. Often, I will be playing an mp3, a video or even something off of the web and suddenly, my entire computer freezes, requiring a hard restart. Any ideas? I am running Hardy w/ compiz enabled. [00:28] Thanks for the info, Scunizi and ChaosParser [00:28] fde: i did...now what? :P [00:28] michalski: when installing.. sudo [00:28] Scunizi, have you read the channel topic [00:28] michalski: I suggest you try medibuntu before you bypass the package manager, as ChaosParser suggests [00:28] !repomirror [00:28] Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. [00:28] scunizi: it says that it doesnt exist [00:28] Mimi.. what are you referring to ? [00:28] gnyffel: are you sure that beta works on FF3b5 cause i keep being sent back to the extention page telling em i cnat download since it is for older versions [00:28] the repomirror thingy [00:28] soundray_: wilco [00:28] Scunizi: Oh well, we'll just have to wait! I've an irrational hatred of having outstanding updates. [00:29] lol [00:29] michalski: sudo ./ [00:29] should be fixed soonish :) [00:29] michalski: pardon? [00:29] michalski: soundray_: dpkg -L googleearth-package | grep bin ... man will tell you how to create a .deb from files you download from google.... thus not avoiding the package manager. [00:29] Mimi: nope didn't catch that. thanks. [00:29] soundray_: will comply [00:29] np, it helped me a lot Scunizi [00:30] can anyone help me with my totem problem? [00:30] hold on fde :) [00:30] fde: but why, if you can just 'sudo apt-get install googleearth'? [00:30] HELL ALL... I am receiving a file from someone on Pidgin / yahoo ... When my screen saver activates and locks my screen is that going to pause this download like it did to me today while i was downloading theh 23 updates!? How can i stop this , I already set my screen saver to 2 hours and turned it non activate but it says i will be "idle" in two hours.. Thank you! [00:30] michalski: note it'll just be /usr/bin/ ... not the entire thing. [00:30] it's a complete system crash scenario, out of the box [00:30] Baby_Shambl3s: I'm using it right now. [00:30] soundray_: cmon man! roger wilco [00:30] soundray_: because using official stuff is better than 3rd party things? [00:31] soundray_: It'll take 2 secs longer. [00:31] i installed Spe python editor, and along with it, synaptic installed 4 things more.. now, when i remove SPE, the other softwares dont go away.... [00:31] fde can you create a .deb from a binary? like google earth? [00:31] arbir: well what do you have a 2 gig hard disk? I really wouldn't worry about it... [00:31] fde: I don't regard medibuntu as 3rd party [00:31] Scunizi: that is what 'googleearth-package' is for... yes [00:31] TheOther, can you explain your problem? [00:32] soundray_: but it is... [00:32] Mathman: all this adds to bloat.. when we install fedora, we keep complaing, that its bloat.. now, this is what this install is also doing. [00:32] doing a server install, intending on using lvm - what size should i make the / partition if im going to separate everything else aside from bin/sbin/lib ? [00:32] fde: it's as much 3rd party as universe... [00:32] silverblade: 8-12 gigs [00:32] arbir: you can run apt-get autoremove [00:32] Hmm... everything seems so much... bigger... somehow on Ubuntu than on Windows with the same resolution. I think it is the font. [00:32] ryukun: My problem is that sometimes (I can't determine the cause) totem will completely freeze my entire system [00:33] hi [00:33] jrib, let me try [00:33] soundray_: not at all. Ubuntu members maintain Universe... any random person can set up a 3rd party repo. [00:33] i need help geting my broadcom on a Powerbook G4 to work [00:33] ryukun: no keyboard response, nothing [00:33] !broadcom | Simonft [00:33] Simonft: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [00:33] silverblade: if you're going to separate var, etc, usr etc.... then you might be able to make it smaller [00:33] arbir: bloat to me would be a slew of apps running. not something sitting on a hard disk. especially with todays sized hard disks. a few K or Megs or whatever is nothing. but to each his own I spose. [00:33] This is on a 10 gb disk. [00:33] ryukun: I've found one site that has proven to reproduce the affect [00:33] Fishscene: tried it [00:33] ...rats [00:33] i have a problem with XMMS... i have a little distortion [00:34] does anyone have a functional mic and what did you do to get it working if it needed tweeking to function? [00:34] how do i reset all my settings, but none of my programs or files [00:34] ryukun: would you like the link? Dunno if it'll cause the same problem on your comp [00:34] never had this problem before hardy btw [00:34] hmm Mathman, you have a point... [00:34] including positions of panels and everything [00:34] gnyffel: :/ how can somehting so simple be so hard for me how did I get through uni? [00:34] TheOther, okay, I'll try the link [00:34] arbir: ha, and who's we? I'm just fine with fedora installs [00:34] Scunizi: It didn't need tweaking... just right click the volume applet > Open Volume Control and turn up the mic setting... [00:35] fde: medibuntu is not setup by random persons, but Ubuntu members, too [00:35] can anyone help me with the xmms stuff? [00:35] Scunizi: It is muted by default because otherwise it tends to give off distortion all the time. [00:35] anyone? [00:35] fde.. been there done that.. nothing.. installed pulse audio configuration stuff & tweeked.. nothing.. [00:35] ryuknun: thanks [00:35] Baby_Shambl3s: well, from beta.foxmarks.com you login, then you choose learn more at the bottom. Should be a download button there. Is that what you did? [00:35] Mathman: i said, we to refer to most bloggers who speak about other distros.. anyways... nothing else to be said on this [00:35] Don't click this link www.terrafugia.com [00:35] ~~~Question~~~ I want to add sudo mount /dev/sdb1 to my sessions so its mounted when I log in - but it will ask me for root pasword! how do i do it so it doesnt ask? [00:35] whats up with the power manager in ubuntu 8.04? It wouldnt hibernate when it should have, it just shut down when the laptop was out of battery...(dell xps m1330) [00:35] Scunizi: When you plug in the mic, can you hear yourself in the speakers, just not via apps? [00:36] Mimi: put it in as an init script [00:36] zelluz, system > preferencecs > power management - pick how you want it [00:36] !init [00:36] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:36] Mimi, it does not work :/ [00:36] zelluz, you have a lenovo? [00:36] Theother, please don't spam [00:36] fde nope.. no loop to the speakers.. no indication when recording on "Sound Recorder" .. nothing out of skype or gizmo.. [00:36] can anybody else help me with my broadcom? [00:36] Mimi, no a dell xps m1330 [00:36] wasn't spam [00:36] TheOther, how is it related to Ubuntu help? [00:36] <|404NoTFounD|> Hi [00:36] that link crashes my computer [00:37] Mimi: make an entry in fstab and use the 'users,noauto' options [00:37] How do I turn on Compiz? [00:37] ah [00:37] soundray_, doesnt work [00:37] TheOther, I can view the movie on that page without any problem [00:37] Mimi: can you elaborate [00:37] !Hi | |404NoTFounD| [00:37] |404NoTFounD|: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:37] It didn't crash mine... although I have a script blocker if that has anything to do with antyhign. [00:37] I use 8.04 [00:37] ryuknun; ok, I can't figure out what my problem is then, are you viewing it w/ totem? [00:37] soundray_, doesnt mount at boot whenn i do that [00:37] Just when everything seemed great, I start up a video file with the default video viewer and it goes in like 1 FPS. Extreme lag for every video file for some reason. Any idea why? [00:37] Scunizi: Is it a USB mic? [00:37] <|404NoTFounD|> ]i have 8.04 (upgraded from 7.10) and my soundcard is not working anymore. [00:37] abbot: system/preferances/appearance/visual effects [00:37] fde no.. old fashion'd type. [00:38] sigh fine anyone know where i can LOOK to figure out how to reset settings and panel positions to default [00:38] TheOther, yes, with totem-plugin-viewer 2.22.1 [00:38] rykunun: because for me, as soon as the page loads, it will freeze everything [00:38] Mimi: you still have to run a mount command from your login scripts. It won't need a password, though. [00:38] |404NoTFounD|: what kind? [00:38] do you have the restricted decoders installed? [00:38] Scunizi: then there is no reason for it to not work if you sound card is set up... wouldn't even know where to start troubleshooting, sorry :( [00:38] <|404NoTFounD|> Simonft: im not sure [00:38] TheOther, what's your ubuntu version? [00:38] TheOther: sudo apt-get install libflashsupport [00:38] gnyffel, how in the name of Bunny do i make a init script or w/e it is [00:38] can anybody tell me, what does this message mean ? ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [00:39] ryuknun: Hardy 8.04, released edition [00:39] Scunizi: That's what I thought it was. It tells me "Desktop Effects Could Not Be Enabled". I had no problems running them in the previous version of Ubuntu. They ran well actually. [00:39] <|404NoTFounD|> Simonft:give me a min and ill go find out [00:39] arbir thats nothing, ignore it, means apt-get if finishing to install something, its a good thing [00:39] fde: I know that's why it's driving me nuts.. I use a switchbox to flip between external speakers and headset.. mic always loops through nomatter what the settings. [00:39] Y-Town: let me check if I have that installed. [00:39] Mimi: I believe I posted a link earlier. It's basically just a simple bash script you tell the system to execute at a certain point during startup [00:39] Mimi , alright === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso [00:39] abbot: sounds like you don't have glx or the restricted drivers enabled.. what kind of vid card [00:39] ? [00:39] arbir: it's updating the libraries on your system... 'man ld' or 'whatis ld' for further explainations... [00:39] gnyffel: yeha just figured that out after searching through google you actually have to log in theyve shouldve stated this on the main page :/ [00:39] gnyffel, yes thanks - i didnt understand how to do it from that link, it was greek to me :/ [00:39] i need help with a broadcom [00:40] gnyffel, i know what init is and what it does but dont know how to add a script or coimmand [00:40] TheOther: seems to be an update that helping many.. [00:40] Mimi: but soundray_ has a better solution - allowing you to mount without root access [00:40] TheOther, when the page loads the movie doesn't run until I click on it [00:40] fde: i remember from command line, i used to to ldconfig to update library paths [00:40] ahhhh. i think i do have to do that. I forgot that i needed restricted drivers for my card. [00:40] Hi. Could someone talk me thru adobe flash player install please? I'm on website for download now [00:40] hey I seem to have a problem with trackerd, does anyone know anything about htat? [00:40] langleyo, dont do it from website [00:40] langleyo: what computer? [00:40] langleyo: don't use the website [00:40] langleyo: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree [00:40] arbir: yup... whatever you installed is doing that for you automatically :) [00:40] ubuntu toshiba laptop [00:41] thans [00:41] thanks [00:41] langleyo: just making sure it was not appc [00:41] Mimi: you need a file with two lines: first #!/bin/bash second mount /your/mountpoint [00:41] langleyo: http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833&highlight=codecs [00:41] fde.. thanks :-) [00:41] soundray_, thats it? :D where do I save it? then chmod +x uh? [00:41] Y-Town & ryukun: ok, thanks, I actually have package manager frozen here, so I'm going to have to reload x. brb [00:41] ok thanks folks, you rock! [00:41] Mimi: save this to /home/mimi/bin and run chmod +x on it [00:41] i need help with a broadcom [00:42] Mimi: then call it from System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs [00:42] Scunizi: I don't remember what card is in my laptop. Is there are hardware list that I can pull up where I can see that? [00:42] Mimi-> you can view one of the scripts in /etc/init.d as sample.. [00:42] oh [00:42] abbot: you've got lspci, lsusb and lshw to help [00:42] langleyo: I gave you a complete how to on all video and sound configuring [00:42] abbot: 'lspci | grep -i audio' [00:42] abbot system/admin/hardware testing [00:42] k, trying it [00:42] Is there an alternate Ubuntu channel where there is less traffic? [00:42] amenado: please don't recommend mounting via init scripts (Mimi) [00:43] But still for Ubuntu talk.

[00:43] Scunizi: thanks. [00:43] soundray_-> what is wrong with using an init script to mount? [00:43] dsfdfdsfdsfdsdf: gotta read FAST [00:43] I thought that was for off-topic :) [00:43] heh [00:43] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:43] amenado: it's a complicated solution for a problem that is much simpler to solve via /etc/fstab [00:43] Y-Town: YAY! It works now! Thanks! I don' t know if this qualifies as a bug though, because without that package, my system was hard crashing [00:44] amenado: it's not *proper* ^^ Only reason I suggested it was because I didn't know you could allow fstab entries without root [00:44] |404NoTFounD|: google is your friend: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=562835 [00:44] does anyone know how to fix or why my text in my login manager is so large that I can't see it [00:44] TheOther: adobe bug [00:44] !google [00:44] EARTHQUAKE [00:44] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [00:44] Hi [00:44] tinsleyjr: google login window size ubuntu [00:44] !hi| NeoSkyzo [00:44] NeoSkyzo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:44] California just had an earthquake if anyone cares [00:45] Hi, I got Hardy since the RC came out and ever since my ubuntu comp's internet connection has been horribly slow. It's not like that on the windows computers on the network though. Any suggestions? [00:45] soundray_, thank you very much for your help, im going to test it now... baaai! :) [00:45] Y-Town: Good luck [00:45] Y-Town, I haven't felt a thing [00:45] So CAl [00:45] ah [00:45] Y-Town, stay safe [00:45] Y-Town: but it's without the plugin that it doesn't work, isn't the plugin fixing the problem? [00:45] i was wondering if there are any know issues with getting nat working with 8.04 on vmware fusion 1.1.2 [00:46] NW2190-> do you have ipv6 enabled? [00:46] who in here was helping me awhile ago with my video card nvidia geforce we was in room #wwed . [00:46] buzzsaw_, what is your host OS? [00:46] buzzsaw_, fusion is mac os x version [00:46] TheOther: im a rookie as well... i just watch and try to learn here.. I seen it today and it fixed my issues as well, so I passed it on :o) [00:46] buzzsaw_: can you even install vmware fusion on anything but a mac? [00:46] os x [00:46] i need help with a broadcom [00:46] Scunizi: So I do need ATI drivers. Is that just a package in the repos? [00:46] doug_: that was me [00:46] the host is os x [00:46] buzzsaw_, best to ask in ##apple [00:46] bazhang, now that you've pointed that out, I feel like an idiot. :P [00:46] amenado: Ya, I think it is by default isn't it? [00:46] Y-Town: ok, well thanks a TON [00:47] gnyffel: i have xp installed and running vb in xp with hardy. [00:47] Fishscene, ;] [00:47] NP [00:47] it's not the window size but when I login, what I type is really large like when I type in my user name and/or password and when I go to session mananger the font there is really large as well [00:47] buzzsaw_: it works fine here [00:47] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName [00:47] doug_: good luck with that. I'm off for now. :) [00:47] NW2190-> yeah its active i believe [00:48] It's been a long day :P Goodbye everyone, and may all your issues be resolved *Vulcan hand-sign* [00:48] abbot: you should have a "restricted drivers manager" under system/admin that you can enable the ati drivers.. ati can be a pain.. I have an nvidia so ati is foreign territory for me. [00:48] amendo: you think disabling it would help? I have a relatively old router if that makes a difference. [00:48] soundray_ did oyu have to do any thing special to get it to work [00:48] buzzsaw_: no [00:48] is there a game room besides #wine ? [00:48] NW2190-> i dont know if it would, try and see [00:49] buzzsaw_: set NAT in the Virtual Machine settings -- but that's default anyway === Drugon is now known as Sergium [00:49] * Mimi bites hand off....

[00:50] SeaPhor: any others? and thanks [00:50] soundray_, ~/bin like you said called it mount-usb [00:51] Mimi: and when you run '~/bin/mount-usb' in a terminal, what happens? [00:51] <|404NoTFounD|> Simonft: i dont understand that. [00:51] doug_, not that i know of, I play alot of games - join me on #SeaPhor and i'll answer if i can [00:51] soundray_, aaah.... Unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block devices using the external FUSE [00:51] library. Either mount the volume as root, or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated [00:51] FUSE support and make it setuid root.

[00:51] Scunizi: I have "Hardware Drivers" but it just tells me that there are no proprietary drivers in use on my system. it just seems like it would display a list. [00:51] OOPS sorry about the flood :( [00:52] Aaaawww. Y-town left... :( [00:52] <|404NoTFounD|> oh lawd. [00:52] thats odd it seems to have fixed it self now :-) [00:52] why is it that when I type my username in my login manager it is so huge?

[01:08] I'm still getting permission denied errors with NFS [01:08] arbir: I haven't touched Windows in 5 years, and haven't ever owned a Mac... so Linux has been my universal OS since then... my knowledge on server based things is lacking though, maybe you'll be able to help me in that area in the future :) [01:08] xtrxfr: appreciate the help! :D [01:08] are you using firefox 2 or firefox 3? [01:08] does anyone have any good ideas on how to fix the login manager so that when I type in my username/password or go to the session manager it isn't so huge that you can't really read it? [01:08] anabolix: no problem :) [01:09] fde: probably.. if i can be of any use sure...

[01:10] what am i doing wrong? [01:11] scunizi: I don't mean that, but thanks anyway [01:11] are recent updates causing complete system lockups for anyone?

[01:12] SeaPhor: thanks but no one is talking to me in the other rooms. [01:12] sFEARs, I uninstall wine and delete the menu item manually, then I went to install another version of it then the menu doesn't come out anymore [01:13] fde: and master control does not control volume, somehow.. when i click on mute or totally take down the slider, i can still hear my player playing [01:13] compiz freeze ! [01:13] Jack_Sparrow, I tried both purge and install wine in the repo again, but the menu still doesn't come out [01:13] doug_, yeah, i have been sent to rooms with 80 ppl in them, but no one really there [01:13] jakamo: ok... that's why it's not working... please remove all packages returned via: 'dpkg -l openjdk* | grep ^ii' [01:13] does someone know a text to speech client which supports acapela, loquendo or AT&T Natural Voices? [01:13] Daisuke_Ido, at the grub boot menu (may have to hit escape to enter at first boot) press C for command line and enter force=acpi to change the way the kernel handles some hardware things.. if it works you can permanently add the force=acpi to the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [01:14] pen did you try another version of wine from outside our repos [01:14] Jack_Sparrow, I did [01:14] sFEARs: is this a change in handling acpi that was pushed out in a recent update? [01:14] thats not it..i am talking about the thing where you can close a window and it will still be running and all you see is a small icon of the program [01:14] thats not it..i am talking about the thing where you can close a window and it will still be running and all you see is a small icon of the program [01:14] pen: you may need to add it manually [01:14] Jack_Sparrow, I checked the files installed, and found it install .menu iteam in /etc/xdg/menus === MatMuche is now known as trucMuche [01:14] someone use ati card ? [01:14] pen How did you remove the menu entry? manually in gconf or some other way [01:14] arbir: Very strange... [01:14] sFEARs: because he's been running hardy for a couple weeks, and this just started today [01:14] Jack_Sparrow, I go to edit menu and delete it [01:14] it's possible, i'm sure there were some driver updates in there that it may not be handeling correctally [01:14] I just chmodded my /bin/chmod to 000. How can I reverse that? [01:15] fde: in fact, only when mute master and PCM, do my speakers get silent [01:15] cmerk: Please tell me you're kidding. [01:15] i'm not sure what the acpi does.. but it fixed someones restart issue yesterday, and it's easy and worth a shot [01:15] fde: nope. [01:15] Jack_Sparrow, I don't understand why there are .menu and .desktop in /etc/xdg/menus /usr/share/applications repectcly [01:15] arbir: ahh, yes, PCM is the actual master :) [01:15] Jack_Sparrow, the menu still doesn't show up [01:15] pen sounds like that version you tried to install messed something up. Probably an easy fix if you /join #Winehq [01:16] Jack_Sparrow, but this is somethign to do with gnome or ubuntu not wine it self I believe because it happened before with other apps [01:16] cmerk: you can reinstall chmod probably... [01:16] please help me [01:16] Daisuke_Ido, a lot of issues also have to do with proprietary graphics drivers.. maybe try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and make sure drivers are set to vesa @ 800x600, but that's a little more complicated [01:16] !ati > Cicciput [01:16] fde: ah, that's a good idea. I'll try that. [01:16] Jack_Sparrow, no idea how to fix it? [01:16] pen it may be, what other apps have had this problem. [01:16] what is a good text/cli web browser? [01:16] cmerk: dpkg -S /sbin/chmod to know the package. [01:16] Hi. I'm running ubuntu 8.04. My updates from Synaptic are too slow (I mean very often it goes from 1-5k, always less than 10k). I tried with two different repositories and it didn't help... can you help me solve this? [01:17] hotmonkeyluv: lynx [01:17] fde: is weird that PCM is the master [01:17] kindofabuzz: thx [01:17] pen I can only guess at what all you installed and what your sourcers list looke like. [01:17] fde: and each time i boot up, my volume always goes above the roof [01:17] cmerk: uhh... /bin/chmod sorry. [01:17] fde: any amount of setting has not solved issues [01:17] Hi...i'm trying to set up kismet but program fails to find libmagick9......anyone know where i can get it please? [01:17] Jack_Sparrow, any other apps, if I manually delete the menu item it wouldn't create menu automatically after I reinstall [01:17] amenado: did you looked at the post i sent you? where is that file "modprobe" is location? [01:17] Jack_Sparrow, how does that related to sources list? [01:17] pen sorry I dont have an answer [01:18] arbir: it _should_ retain volume through reboots... there is a asound init script to try to ensure it... but here it's always set too low... heh [01:18] Jack_Sparrow, don't you have this problems before? [01:18] Jack_Sparrow, or you haven't met one yuet [01:18] pen It relates in something you installed messed up something. LEading me to think there will be unsupported repos in your list [01:18] fde: there are a lot of little things that matter much which i am not able to configure, due to lack of knowledge [01:18] fde: sometimes, it gets frustrating [01:18] Is there anything that will cause apache2 to recreate the *.conf files?? I tried dpkg-reconfigure, but it didn't work... [01:18] QUESTION does anyone know how to make xchat not show join/part messages BY DEFAULT [01:18] Jack_Sparrow, how does that unsupported related to menu items? What is your logic? [01:19] fde: but on the whole.... the experience is super [01:19] I upgraded from gutsy to hardy, [01:19] First isssue: All hd?? drives are renamed by the system to sd?? so they won't mount--INCLUDING THE BOOT DRIVE! [01:19] Second issue firefox default install is F3-beta software. It caused several problems with web applications I use. I had to uninstall Firefox 3 and install firefox 2. Why is hardy released with beta software? [01:19] Third issue: Nvidia drivers corrupted, spent several hours uninstalling and re-installing nvidia drivers before finding a working system. [01:19] Fourth issue: Java no longer works in firefox. Still looking for solution. [01:19] jakamo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:19] Jack_Sparrow, I don't get what you mean [01:19] mimi right click on channel name [01:19] pen obviously [01:19] fde: in fact, Xubuntu's colour scheme is supeb.. i installed Xubuntu on my other desktop, its runs really well..... [01:19] ff3 isn't even final yet [01:19] Jack_Sparrow, the apps installs and runs perfectly with command line. It just the menu doesn't create automatically like before [01:19] bazhang, I know, but I dont want to do taht every single time i join a channel. is there a way to do it by default! @_@ [01:19] Mimi, I wish I knew, I've been tring to do that for years [01:19] !repeat | pen [01:19] pen: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:19] fde: that worked (sudo apt-get install --reinstall coreutils). thanks.

[01:20] Trying to find easy install for libmagick9...anyone know where please?/msg ubottu etiquette [01:20] oops [01:20] jakamo: because they need to support if for 3 years. Firefox 2 is about 10 months from End of life. and the codebase for firefox 2 was largely set in 2005 or earlier [01:20] fde: removed all openjdk packages, still no go [01:20] fde: have you had issues connecting to windows shares from Ubuntu 8.x naualius [01:20] bazhang, I have been patient enought the whole day before sitting in front of the computer in IRC waiting answers [01:20] when did 2.6.24.17 get pushed to updates?

[01:56] ok, i'm testing undervolt, and i need echo a file phc_vids, but i get a "permission denied" [01:56] usser: What do I do after I find that? [01:56] Plummet? [01:56] ere4si, yeah, that's the volumes, like flashdisks and ipods I want to hide all icons including files that might be stored there on the Desktop and make them visible in the Desktop directory folder in the Places menu. [01:56] zcat[1]: I tried that, but he asks for ROOT permissions.. Should I start nautilus with sudo to do this? [01:57] ianliu_88: in theory that should work.. I only use samba for sharing with other ubuntu boxes here, I just assume it should work with windows... [01:57] woddf2, found it? see all kinds of resolutions there like "1024x768"? [01:57] Yes [01:57] Plummet: are you still there? [01:57] ianliu_88: It'll ask for your password.. that's the same one you log in with [01:57] woddf2, put the resolution that u want gdm to run at first [01:57] (with refresh rates) [01:57] yes [01:57] I can't connect to my samba server ... worked fine before upgrade - eclipse is not stable either. [01:57] Lifeisfunny: it is for partitions mounted in fstab [01:57] Plummet: what is the program? [01:57] woddf2, pastebin it so i can tell what exactly to change [01:57] swiat: ianliu_88: right click the 'Public' folder in your home dir... select "Share Folder" near the bottom of the right click menu... this won't work yet, log out and back in... then do it again... now it should work :) [01:58] woddf2, pastebin the whole thing [01:58] vbman11: ventriloscript-v2.1.0_02 [01:58] zcat[1]: He doesn't asks for me... [01:58] usser: I will [01:58] i cant hear audio when playing back .wmv files embedded within web pages in firefox using totem-plugin-viewer 2.22.1 ... ideas? [01:58] !root | ianliu_88 [01:58] ianliu_88: 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 [01:58] Plummet: try "sudo apt-get install ventriloscript-v2.1.0_02" [01:58] ere4si, I think it's actually an item that lacks customize-ability [01:58] k [01:58] swiat, zcat[1], forget samba, use sshfs--much better, imho. [01:58] Plummet: try "sudo apt-get install ventriloscript" i ment [01:58] arooni__: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:59] fde, i solved my wav problem. you'll never guess what it was. my monitor was too close to the rest of my computer. when i move it away it works :) [01:59] arooni__: Remove that plugin and use mozill-mplayer instead [01:59] randomwalker: haha [01:59] danbhfive, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. [01:59] i heard it's a good idea to allow imcp through iptables.. why would that be ? [01:59] Cpudan80, how do i remove it [01:59] arooni__: mozilla-mplayer ** [01:59] vbman11: could not find, however i am going to watch the office now :) [01:59] arooni__, install w32codecs from medibuntu [01:59] jakamo: probably; but samba is built into windows; a lot easier when ppl drop around and want to grab files, you don't need to install anything first [02:00] usser, w32codecs is already the newest version. [02:00] arooni__: sudo apt-get remove pluginNameHere [02:00] usser: http://pastebin.com/f1b2b9875 [02:00] jakamo: and I find samba works pretty well, better than nfs last time I tried it [02:00] Prose: icmp ... I would personally disagree, but it allows things like ping etc for troubleshooting.... it also allows things like nmap [02:00] Cpudan80, no idea how it would be named though [02:00] arooni__: To install the other one do sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer [02:00] Hey everyone! I'm having a problem connecting my ipod to banshee. [02:00] zcat[1]: I know how Root things work, at least I think. The problem is: I have shared the folder by running nautilus with sudo and than sharing it.. is that supposed to work? [02:00] arooni__: Neither do I, sorry [02:00] fde: so you wouldnt say its needed a for a healthy samba and sshd server, is that so ? [02:00] how do i remove the totem video player plugin fore firefox on gutsy [02:00] arooni__: maybe you can just install the mplayer one and it will work? [02:00] ianliu_88: it should not be necessary. [02:00] not real sure [02:01] woddf2, cool and you want it to use what 1024x768? [02:01] Cpudan80, its alreayd installed [02:01] usser: Yes [02:01] Prose: It isn't necessary for anything... it is the Internet Control Management Protocol... it does nothing useful. [02:01] okay... http://pastebin.ca/1012239 [02:01] Hey, does anyone have the current banshee+1 installed? I think it's slowing down my internet connection on ubuntu... possibly a Last.fm plugin issue or something. [02:01] zcat[1]: true but sshfs works on any system you have an ssh account with, and can be used with windows if you install cygwin. Since ditching samba for sshfs all my problems with permissions, etc have gone away. [02:01] zcat[1]:yeah.. my ubuntu is strange. Maybe because it was upgraded from beta? I think I will reinstall it [02:01] fde: awesome thanks :) [02:01] Banshee sees my iPod but says there isn't anything in it! [02:01] this is the only thing different between a time when a system freezes solid and when it gets shutdown normally [02:01] xorg recognises my external monitor as a dell 22" and not the widescreen 24" that it is, any ideas on how to fix it? [02:02] ianliu_88: good idea. I ended up reinstalling mine, ubuntu upgrades don't work as well as they probably should in my experience [02:02] woddf2, and your normal screen resolution is 1024x768 too i assume [02:02] usser: ? [02:02] zcat[1]: ;) [02:02] by the way, is there a way to kill X? [02:02] woddf2, the one u use when u log in [02:02] usser: GDM uses 1400*1050. [02:03] woddf2, right and after u log in thats what u get? [02:03] ianliu_88: ctrl-alt-backspace (but it just respawns again) [02:03] ianliu_88: Press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill X. [02:03] oh also, is there a way to mount linux drives over internet ..easily.. samba is all good but outside LAN (so I heard) [02:03] and that worked === fazuka__ is now known as fazuka_ [02:03] Prose: NFS [02:03] usser: GDM uses 1400*1050, and after I log in it uses 1024*768. [02:03] Prose: also, you can mount standard FTP directories. [02:03] fde: does it work "natively" in Winxp ? [02:03] ianliu_88: from a shell, 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' will turn the gui off [02:03] zcat[1]: yeah, thats funky ^^ [02:03] just curiosity [02:04] fde: yeah but FTP doesn't have the Windows Explorer samba gives :) [02:04] rhythmbox is broken, it won't play anything from the radio, from the stores, locally, flac, ogg, mp3, nothing. it just doesn't make any sound, the progress bar doesn't move. it buffers and then nothing happens. [02:04] woddf2, i see, ok see a line there that says Virtual 1400 1050 change that to 1024 768 and restart xorg [02:04] fde: Windows explorer feeling* [02:04] and this is a clean install of 8.04 heron [02:04] Prose: Who knows... Windows generally doesn't like anything that is proficient ime [02:05] fde: would you NFS is secure.. like ssh? [02:05] usser: I will try that. [02:05] Prose: NFS is more secure than SMB :/ [02:05] zcat[1]: thanks for all :) [02:05] thats arguable [02:05] fde: good enough for me :P :) [02:06] hello all, is there a way to stop pulse audio from pausing my music whenever i switch users? Anytime my wife logs in on her side, the music will pause. === reiser is now known as bender [02:06] fde: I will explore and see if I get Windows to automatically mount a NFS partition over the internet... that would be way cool [02:06] Prose: let me know, I have a samba server around just to share files with my step father cuz he refuses to use a decent OS [02:06] usser: Thanks [02:07] woddf2, worked? [02:07] usser: Yes [02:07] (albeit with different refresh rate) [02:07] woddf2, cool, no problem [02:07] I heard There is some Free NFS Server/client for windows. but never found/tried it yet. [02:07] It's easy to get Linux to do smb.. much, much harder to get Windows to do nfs or whatever... [02:08] Dr_willis: here's hoping Prose finds it in his research and tells us about it :) [02:08] * zcat[1] is lazy [02:08] fde, i was thinming it was by/from MS. So im not sure i would use it if i did find it. :) [02:08] zcat[1]: SMB is inefficient and insecure and just plain crap... it's about 30 year old technology out of IBM that no one but Microsoft cares about. [02:08] i also have a secondary hardrive that i have to click on to mount everytime i reboot. is there a way to automount this, so that it is already mounted? [02:08] zcat[1], Windows can do nfs through cygwin. Anyone with the smarts to get into linux can put cygwin on Windows. [02:09] fde: yeah. But it happens to work :) [02:09] Dr_willis: maybe part of Unix tools for Windows or whatever that package is called. [02:09] whitt, add a suitable line for it in the fstab file. [02:09] fde, that sounds about right. [02:09] zcat[1]: cool, he knows about samba... nfs would be better. [02:09] whitt, yes you can add an entry to /etc/fstab [02:09] Hi I've just installed Xubuntu Hardy, it seems it hasn't picked up my ATI Radeon 9200 drivers, although Ubuntu 8.04 does...any suggestion [02:10] usser, i figured, just wasn't sure what i needed to add [02:10] do they make the ubuntun names follow alphabetically [02:10] mcisbackuk: there is no reason for that, Xubuntu is Ubuntu with a different GUI [02:10] Even better, If anyone here has the need to really marry Windows to Linux, colinux is totally awesome! I used it for about a year before making my wholesale switch to ubuntu. [02:10] "oh noe raulh is back" [02:10] well, for somereason my ver of ubutnu dosnt play mp3 ect [02:10] and at first it prompted me [02:11] but updatemmangfer was open so it could download now i cant get it to ask me for the codecs again [02:11] fde: Thats what I thought, so why hasn't it picked it up? [02:11] whitt, is it an ntfs drive? [02:11] no, ext3 [02:11] sorry usser ext3 [02:11] frogscott ill talk to you saturday :) [02:11] mcisbackuk: no idea really... is 'linux-restricted-modules-generic' installed? [02:11] whitt, do you know its /dev name? [02:11] raulh: double click a mp3 file and it will [02:11] raulh: open a shell and type "sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras" -- it'll install a ton of stuff you probably didn't even know you wanted [02:12] it dosnt prompt me anymore [02:12] raulh, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:12] thankz zcat [02:12] im go now cuz my dad bashed my head into corner [02:12] so im go lay down for a bit [02:12] thanks for da help [02:12] fde: Yes [02:12] raulh, or install vlc -- apt-get install vlc and then run vlc mymusicfile.mp3 [02:12] zcat[1]: I like that wording, heh [02:13] usser, i know it's mount point, [02:13] Will Ubuntu installed on an SD card run just as fast as it would on an SSD? [02:13] whitt, right ok is it an external one? [02:13] fde: well, he won't be back again in a half hour asking how to make flash work, or get the windows fonts.. [02:13] mcisbackuk: lsmod | grep {fglrx,nvidia} return anything? (I forgot which you wanted, but this should return either or) [02:14] zcat[1]: Or for playing DVD's etc... java though... UGH [02:14] mavsman4457: be forwarned, SD cards have a VERY low life span [02:14] Can someone here help me modify my /boot/grub/menu.lst to include a new Linux distro I installed on another partition? I'm close but I need some help. [02:14] danbhfive, ya i know but they are pretty cheap [02:14] usser, sorry, it's internal. If I go /media it's listed only as disk [02:15] fde: well, playing dvd's isn't in restricted-extras.. would be nice if it was but there are some retarded laws around.. [02:15] fde: Nope lsmod returned nothing [02:15] arrg perfect it dosnt detect my sound card [02:15] STSX: can you please show us your fdisk -l /dev/hd and menu.lst via paste.ubuntu.com ? [02:15] Can anyone in here help me figure out why the scorlling on my touchpad isn't working? [02:15] it detects it it just i cannot hear the playback [02:15] mcisbackuk: 'sudo modprobe fglrx' (I think you said ATI?) [02:15] fde: Sure thing, hang on... [02:16] raulh: checl the volume control level? [02:16] Dependency is not satisfiable: libguicast - anhone know where I can find that? [02:16] i did [02:16] whitt, i see, well what does this say mount | grep /media/disk [02:16] zcat[1]: yes it is... libdvdread0 [02:16] mmaybe because im on usb headset? [02:16] whitt, or mount | grep /media [02:16] fde: but not libdvdcss2 [02:16] STSX the distro you just installed, did it make a menu.lst as well ? if so the way I do it is grab the menu items from one put them in the other, then run grub-update and life is good [02:16] fde: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf :S [02:17] fde: and yeah ATI, I'd just substitute nvidia for fglrx anyway lol [02:17] zcat[1]: uhh... libdvdread3 ... libdvdcss is just another lib for the same thing... both work. [02:17] has anyone tried out an HP 2133? [02:17] join #ubuntu-cn [02:17] fde: nope... afraid not. [02:17] hello everyone [02:17] usser, /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal) [02:17] hello [02:17] zcat[1]: Umm, I've been using it forever... it works. [02:17] starcannon: No, I deliberately skipped the "install grub" steps for the distro because I didn't want it changing my MBR--I still want Ubuntu to handle that. [02:17] nod [02:18] I have no sound in Hardy on neither of 2 soundcards besides I had no trouble under Gutsy. Can somebody help me ? [02:18] fde: you sure? I've never been able to play region coded dvd's until after I enable medibuntu repo and install libdvdcss2 specifically [02:18] anyone know presario c700 wireless stuff? [02:18] anyone have a solution?, i have usb headsets, and ubuntu shows my sound card(s) but i cannot hear the playback [02:18] STSX-> you can install grub at another partitions other than the mbr [02:18] zcat[1]: regionset [02:18] I can only get sound through System - Preferences - Sound - Test [02:18] fde, zcat[1]: there is an example script with libdvdread that build dvdcss [02:18] So... when I sudo su to root, how come if I type a single character I exit root and I'm returned to my main user? [02:18] whitt, cool so do sudo gedit /etc/fstab and add somewhere at the bottom [02:19] and in wine testing alsa :P [02:19] dang this sux i still cant hear it thru the sound driver the headset uses! [02:19] fde: Not loading fglrx module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf is wwhat that modprobe ame up with [02:19] Kamil r-click on your mixer (the speaker icon) choose preferences, then choose the device you want it to control, you should be able to turn sound up and down with it that way, works for me on logitech usb headset [02:19] fde: Ohhh.. I'd rather not though. A lot of the DVD's I rent aren't the same region .. [02:19] mcisbackuk: see, I don't know where the xserver-xorg-driver-fglrx package went... so I can't help there, sorry. [02:19] usser, adding that line with automount the drive where i don't have to click on it everytime to mount it? That would be great [02:20] amenado: I'm confused then; I thought since I all ready have grub installed on my Ubuntu partition, I don't have to have grub installed on my new distro partition--all I need to do is modify my menu.lst to make an option to boot to the new distro partition. Is this not right? [02:20] fde: Neither do I lol [02:20] zcat[1]: Which is exactly why libdvdcss2 is illegal ;) [02:20] whitt, /dev/sdb1 /data ext3 uid=,gid= 0 0 [02:20] <-- newbie needs help with atheros wireless puhleeze [02:20] whitt, yep it will [02:21] fde: In NZ, 'trade restrictions' are illegal.. all our dvd players are region free from the store or have to be sold with the option if becoming so.. [02:21] STSX thats correct, have an entry in your menu.lst to point to the newest distro install [02:21] *of [02:21] <-- newbie needs help with atheros wireless puhleeze [02:21] whitt, the uid and gid need to be replaced by actual values [02:21] usser, gotcha [02:21] whitt, echo $UID and echo $GROUPS will tell you uid and gid [02:22] Anyone know of my problem? [02:22] So... when I sudo su to root, how come if I type a single character I exit root and I'm returned to my main user? [02:22] how i get real player to work on ubuntu 7.10 reason im on that build is 8 dont pick up my wireless in my dell e1505 laptop [02:22] !atheros > kjb [02:22] fde, amenado: OK, here's my fdisk and menu.lst output: http://pastebin.com/d5d8aab87 [02:22] STSX but make sure also that your newest distro install should still have a boot/grub/device.map [02:22] ? [02:22] so video stores sometimes have region1 disks and nobody ever expects to have problems playing them [02:22] whitt, if u gonna copy/paste the line i gave u make sure u create a mountpoint for it [02:22] kjb: please read through what ubottu just told you, and come back with anything that confuses you, thanks.

[02:31] zcat what eles can i do to get real player format working [02:31] whitt, after navigate to /data and see if your files are there [02:31] whitt, try to create something in that folder [02:32] ray__, install real player but its not recommended [02:32] I don't actually play 'real' embedded on websites afaik but it should work with any of the media plugins [02:32] uhmmmmm,... thaNKS 4 trying the url is not really val;id [02:32] fde: OK, I'll give it a try. One last question tho--what is the "ro quiet splash" parameters in the Ubuntu partition lines for? [02:32] usser want something eles [02:32] im new [02:32] usser, it worked! [02:32] whitt, can u create a file or a folder there [02:32] STSX: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid ... you'll notice they are symlinks to normal devices. [02:32] usser, yes [02:32] ray__: just hang around here and ask every 5 minutes or so.. somebody will know. [02:33] whitt, great now on the next restart it should be remounted at boot [02:33] ok zcat can i ask you a other q [02:33] realy quickly [02:33] ray__: ask away :) [02:33] poop [02:33] STSX: ro means mount read only... although it actually doesn't, so I don't understand... quiet is not telling you all the boot stuff, and splash is the pretty Ubuntu logo on boot :) [02:33] usser, that is so awesome, thank you so much! [02:33] this group is not for newbies, is it ??? [02:33] whitt, no problem, always welcome [02:33] how do I log into the GUI as root? [02:34] zcat have podcast and taking lap to with me to live food shoe to get stuff for podcast [02:34] hi how do i make ubuntus desk top act like a aple desktop [02:34] Dr_Link, you cant [02:34] kjb2: yes [02:34] fde: It's readonly on boot, it gets remounted rw after the fsck [02:34] Dr_Link, that is not a good idea [02:34] and i got a webcam whats a good recording program for it that easy [02:34] kjb2: this channel is for any questions related to Ubuntu you might have wrt issues... [02:34] ill try to be brave [02:34] zcat[1]: ahh, ok thanks [02:34] usser: either way. I need to change a folder's permissions and chmod is waaaay too confusing gor me. [02:34] fde: OK, thanks for the info! I'll give it a try. :) [02:34] I have a kind of easy question: for all of the stuff that you do frequently on the command line, for instance, I often SSH into a remote computer and forward the same port, what's a good way to save all those command line scripts or individual commands? [02:34] to use to do it with for mic and video i have laptop dell e1505 [02:34] Dr_Link, use gksudo nautilus [02:35] the wifi docs dont seem to work for me [02:35] does anyone have experience with atheros wifi ??? [02:35] zcat understand [02:35] save or get to them quickly? is this how something like launcher (launchy?) could be used? [02:35] help would be appreciated [02:35] :) [02:35] ray__: vlc can do that I think.. might not be the easiest option though [02:35] Dr_Link, nothing confusing there, theres 7 modes types of permissions for owner, group and others [02:36] zcat this is from a webcam [02:36] Dr_Link, so chmod 777 give all permissions to everybody [02:36] loike camcorder [02:36] vlc is only a player [02:36] Dr_Link, chmod 770 give all permissions to owner and group and no permissions to others [02:36] webcam support in Linux is generally pretty bad.. big confusion between v4l and v4l2, chances are your webcam and the software you want to use won't be using the same thing :( [02:36] Dr_Link, and so on [02:36] any help with atheros wifi ??? [02:36] usser: It's my web server folder. I wanna be able to use gedit as my normal user and save stuff to /var/www [02:36] zcam i have intel cam [02:37] I'm really confused about this video slowness. It worked out right after I installed Hardy, but then when I configred X for twinview it slowed down. Is that possible? [02:37] hi how do i make ubuntu's desktop act like a apples desktop [02:37] zcat what can i use to record from web cam? [02:37] that ubuntu uses [02:37] svh: Ubuntu isn't Mac OS X. [02:37] my intel works in ubuntu fine [02:38] any help with atheros wifi ??? [02:38] Dr_Link, hm... thats a bit tricky cause if u do chmod or chown it, it'll lower the security of your server [02:38] svh: You can various themes etc, and there are patches to gtk for the menu bar thing... but it's a lot of work, and things you'll need to look into yourself. [02:38] zcat understand? [02:38] hi how do i make ubuntu's desk top act like a apple's desktop is there way. [02:38] usser, i rebooted, now the data folder is empty [02:39] !repeat | svh [02:39] svh: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:39] svh: it's impossible to make it work exactly like a mac's desktop [02:39] Hi, I'm using irssi's recode to use iso encoding when talking, but I would like to be able to use it to join channels too. Can someone please explain to me how to do that? [02:39] usser: I didn't chmod, I used the GUI, and "others" can only read files, not execute or edit. [02:39] whitt, hm... open /etc/fstab is your line there [02:39] zcat still here [02:40] ? [02:40] Dr_Link, i guess it should work did u change the owner from root to yourself? [02:40] obottu thanks for the url to docs about wireless i read and tried b4 coming into this room [02:40] Can someone tell me how to get a partition icon off the desktop? I mounted it in the home dir in fstab so it shouldn't be there I think. [02:40] kjb2: ubottu is a bot [02:40] i think i dont know enough about linux basics to follow instructions correctly [02:40] ooops [02:40] kjb2: I told ubottu to tell you those links... are you getting confused following their instructions? [02:40] usser, /dev/sdb1 /data ext3 uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0 [02:40] usser did you see my q to zcat [02:40] has anyone one here been happy with an upgrade to 8.04? [02:40] well, yes [02:40] ray__, nope [02:41]  sq1usa: yes [02:41] i think i dont know enough about linux basics to follow instructions correctly [02:41] back.. had to answer door [02:41] kjb2: At what point? [02:41] whitt, hm bummer... do sudo mount -a ? [02:41] zcat[1]: No one noticed :P [02:41] whitt, what does it say? [02:41] usser i have intel webcam and want to record video and sound what can i use? [02:41] anything text/command line [02:41] no [02:41] sorry [02:41] usser: yeah, I changed the owner to "tms" who is my normal user... [02:41] ray__: if you can open the webcam in vlc, you can use transcode to save it to a file [02:41] <_A^A_> hardy heron 64bit rocks!!! [02:41] i have 6 computers that i was not able to get 8.04 to even install on [02:41] kjb2: then it's doing to be very difficult to assist you. [02:41] i seem to have the driver for atheros wifi card installed i think [02:42] but the ubuntu wont 'hook up' to it [02:42] ray__, i dunno much about webcams, try kopete or ekiga [02:42] What would prevent me from hitting 192.168.1.x (my puter) localhost and 127.0.0.1 work, but not the machines actual IP?? [02:42] ray__: the other option, go to add/remove and search for webcam recorder .. there's sure to be something :) [02:42] the one it did install on is very unstable, more problems then i ever had with 7.10 [02:42] usser, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [02:42] zcat want do do it with incoding it with other program along with it [02:42] whitt, aha [02:42] poop [02:42] kjb2: is this any less confusing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=38972 ? [02:42] I have a fileserver with a sucky cpu and a new box with less sucky, different cpu and different mobo. I feel like just taking the two hard drives from current mission and putting them in new mission and praying. What say you, Nay or Yay ?

Say a program freezes up. Is there a command or a way to kill a program like say firefox freezes in windows you would ctrl alt del and open up task manager and kill it is there a way to do that with nix ? [02:43] the big confusion is that i seem to have driver installed correctly when i look at gui [02:43] silencedbear: there's a system monitor under system > administration [02:43] ray__: ahhh.. xrecordmydesktop or istanbul then, along with whatever webcam app you use, should work? [02:43] whitt, hm pastebin the results of ls /dev/sd* [02:43] kjb2: please read the link I gave [02:43] svh: you could try something like awn [02:44] who has used bonding module and ifenslave to bind to ethernet ports? what mode do you install the module for it to hot backup one interface if the other fails [02:44] thanks fde, i will. [02:44] thankyou [02:44] Starnestommy, Thank You So Much :). [02:44] usser, is that at pastebin.com?

[02:47] omg that is too much for me [02:47] what other linux distros does anyone here use that is similar or "better" then ubuntu? i use "better" loosley [02:48] kjb2: No it's not...

[03:37] saandro, you are here [03:37] pelo: the only option like that is to copy the link location [03:37] hey fde hows it goin [03:37] whitt - If that works then I think it's related to bug#202089 [03:37] cool, so I'm just looking for a push in the right general direction...

Any one know what might cause this? [03:40] Khajavi, google [03:40] donny: Given that it didn't just work out of hte box I figured it wasn't Atheros, but I was kinda hoping it was something that wasn't going to be much less painful to get going. From the look of things, you need ndiswrapper. I did a quick search and came up with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683 but I don't knw if it'll help much :/ [03:40] hey fde how do you download quicktime [03:41] !broadcom | Goldenson [03:41] Goldenson: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [03:41] anyone: is there a linux version of quicktime?

How? [03:42] Prose, nice surprise [03:42] mneptok, I already had him install that last night so he has that already. [03:43] Joe__: Which nVidia card? The GF2MX in my Ubuntu box survived the upgrade fine [03:43] emma: not if he can't play quicktime [03:43] DrRealHouse: this: http://wwitv.com/portal.htm [03:43] anyone ever tried running ubuntu on an SSD?

Any one know what might cause this? [03:43] I have two, a GeForce 6 series(I think...) and a Quadro NVS280 PCI [03:43] Pelo: yeah seriously, I thought a) I needed at least 700MHz and b) wireless 802.11g wouldn't cut it.. but it does ...awesome :D [03:43] DrRealHouse: try the usa channels a-l [03:43] dabbill: yeah, don;t use sd* [03:43] mavsman4457: I can't see how it wouldbe much different to a mechanical HDD... [03:44] dabbill: mount via UUID [03:44] Pelo: Yes, tracker is here. but I am looking for those programs that have web interface. That when I attempt to firefox: 127.0.0.1:45677 the program begin to start [03:44] it was a pain to get it to work under gutsy, had to manually install the 169.07 drivers from Nvidia, but now even that doesn't work [03:44] mneptok, they are mounted UUID. [03:44] aweeeeeesome [03:44] dabbill: pastebin your fstab [03:44] is there any easy way to remove pulse audio? [03:44] How can I have my first partition mounted automatically on startup to /win/ instead of on my desktop? [03:44] J I would have though the newer cardss would be easier since they can use the current drivers, not hte older legacy ones I have to use... [03:44] LSD|Ninja, ya that's what I was wondering, if it would give good speed increases, good battery life increases, and good heat reduction on a laptop [03:44] tmapj: Can you tell me wich country, channel you selected... I found out that some WMA feed are playlist actually... [03:45] US a-l [03:45] I anticipated this at least, so I made a full backup to a tar.bz2 file on a seperate drive... so I *should* be able to roll back all the changes without too much pain [03:45] mavsman4457: I don't think they're quite there yet for any of those things but in time they might [03:45] DrRealHouse: any of the AFTV channels under US a-l [03:45] DrRealHouse: any of the AFTV channels under US a-l [03:45] LSD|Ninja well, I'm unique in my 4 monitor setup... took me weeks to get it right the first time [03:45] Pelo: I want to write a program with c++. but this program should have web like interface. but I don't know how to write it. I am looking for these projects [03:46] i need nfs help. got it all setup but when i try to mount the server folder i get: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting === c3s4r_ is now known as C3s4r [03:46] mneptok, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11050/ [03:46] kindofabuzz: you have to open the right ports on ubuntu as they close all [03:47] Khajavi, you might want to try #c++ for that. [03:47] Hey guys - does anyone have any experience installing drivers for RTL8187b Realtek Wifi Adapter? I've tried following the various instructions and am not having any joy. (http://danmarner.blogspot.com/2008/01/rtl8187b-linux-native-driver-works-on.html) [03:47] fde: what ports? [03:47] tmapj : ok, these are ASX feed, actually a playlist in MS format I think... I will try with mplayer to see if it works, 2 sec... [03:47] kindofabuzz: cat /etc/services | grep nfs [03:47] any one else having problems with system crashes? I think it has to do with my video card/driver [03:47] its an ATI [03:47] DrRealHouse: no it doesnt but you can try [03:48] tmapj, are these the same channels we got working last night? [03:48] why isn't my tnt2 video card showing up in hardware drivers under hardy, but it worked fine on gutsy? [03:48] Hello. I'm having problems getting my Dell/Broadcom 1390 wireless working. I had it working initially after upgrading to Hardy following the instruction here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760568 but then about a week ago I installed a bunch of software and gnome wouldn't even load. I ended up fixing that by simply uninstalling all of that software, but after it came back, my wireless didn't work again. I tried [03:48] repeating the previous instructions and it still doesn't work. Help please :) [03:48] for some damn reason my toolbars won't appear anymore... which is making things a pain in the ass [03:48] venalicio: I got lockups when I tried Ubuntu on a system with a 9550. I ended up switching the fglrx drivers off. At this point in time, if you want decent 3D on Linux then nVidia is still the best choice [03:48] emma i couldnt reproduce what you did, in any case, it was incredibly difficult to change the channel the way we set it up [03:48] emma: what is #c++? I want to write a program with c++ then I can't run it through a firefox with specific port: http://127.0.0.1:5467 [03:49] Khajavi, go to the channel #c++ [03:49] Khajavi: /j #c++ [03:49] Khajavi: Type it into this window [03:49] I installed Totem now, it needs a GStreamer Bad Plug-ins. I installed it but the vcd is still not yet running.. [03:49] fde: thank [03:49] tmapj: you're right, it does not work. Actually, there is a url inside the ASX... http://prog.videorelay.com/wmty35570/live.asx that is working in totem [03:49] Khajavi, it's a channel that might be more on topic for what you are looking for. [03:49] lsd|Ninja it wouldnt bother me so much but I cant even run an opengl screen saver for more than a few hours with out it locking up [03:49] Khajavi: Also, Qt has a function 'QtWebkit' so try #qt also [03:49] I already download the GStreamer in Sypnaptic manger [03:50] I seem to not be able to run my mkv files using totems even though I've installed the plug ins, any suggestions? [03:50] DrRealHouse: how do you do that ? can you pm me? === nunuk is now known as mug [03:50] tmapj: but the playlist that contains this url is not recognize... [03:50] fde: that didn't work [03:50] fde: ok [03:50] Hi there, I need to run a "find" where I need to get files that are from yesterday 00:00 until yesterday 23:59.... How can I tell find about this range? [03:50] im playing a *.dat file in my vcd and it wont work or play. [03:50] DrRealHouse: ? [03:51] The messages I get when I attemp to compile the driver are here: http://pastebin.com/m8f97ead Would this indicate the problem is at the compiling stage? [03:51] tmapj: When you try to play one of the video, right-clic on the "TV" and select "Open with Video player" (something like that) Totem will open saying that this is a text file [03:51] Can anybody think of any great usage cases for putting two WiFi cards (both would be Intel -- one 3945 and one 4965) in the same system? [03:51] tmapj: then right click on the "file" in the playlist of totem, and "copy location", paste in firefox and you'll see the content and the url... [03:51] Pelo i did what you told me but it says it should be in 8.04 in ubuntu however i can not see my network or connect to it [03:51] I seem to not be able to run my mkv files using totems even though I've installed the plug ins, any suggestions? [03:52] if I download a package in package manager, is the packge is already installed?(in my computer?) [03:52] DanaG, probably more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [03:52] DanaG, if they're able to be duplexed you can gain bandwidth [03:52] venalicio: Back when I had my 9500 Pro (on Gentoo) there was one screensaver that always managed to lock the drivers up. I forget what it was, but disabling it worked a treat. Still, I got instances where the system wouldn't even start up rioght in Ubuntu. I just gave up in the end. [03:52] ubuntu dapper will not recognise edgy repository. i realize there is a reason for this but how do i circumvent such? [03:52] DrRealHouse: there is no option to open it with another program [03:52] if I download a package in package manager, is the packge is already installed?(in my computer?) [03:52] harris, I believe so [03:52] i need nfs help. got it all setup but when i try to mount the server folder i get: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting [03:52] peanuter: what's in the edgy repos that's not in whatever you;re using? [03:52] venalicio: whose video card and driver? [03:53] if I download a package in package manager, is the packge is already installed?(in my computer?) [03:53] mneptok, you get my paste? [03:53] harris: should be [03:53] tmapj: in the web page, when you click on a feed, you'll have a popup... [03:53] since no one is answering in the nvidia channel... anyone know if 169.12 is the correct upgrade from 169.07? [03:53] dabbill: yeah, looks fine. stop relying on /dev entries. or use /dev/disk/by-uuid [03:53] harris: unless you have it set to download source only [03:53] harris:if you hit apply [03:53] harris - you can tell by looking at the check mark in synaptic, if it already installed there is an option for 'mark for reinstall' [03:53] Oh yeah, a more on-topic question: how would I go about creating an access point (or an ad-hoc network) with an iwl3945 card? [03:54] harris, I believe so [03:54] I seem to not be able to run my mkv files using totems even though I've installed the plug ins, any suggestions? [03:54] The nm-applet menu entry doesn't do it. === hala is now known as chavo_in [03:54] i just have a problem with my laptop it does not want to find the network in 8.04 or connect to it i have a broadcom wireless card [03:54] hmmmmm is that so? so why is it my Totem, is still does not play a *.dat file in my VCD? [03:54] tmapj: in that popup, where the video should play, your Totem should show, this is where you right click [03:54] It just tries to join network "(null)" [03:54] mneptok, it gkrellm / partition editor thats swaping them, is that normal? [03:54] Goldenson: you need ndiswrapper [03:54] hmmmmm is that so? so why is it my Totem, is still does not play a *.dat file in my VCD? [03:54] DrRealHouse: then copy url? [03:54] dabbill: yes, as /dev/[h/s]d entries are now meant to be dynamic [03:55] tmapj Yep, and paste in Firefox [03:55] mneptok, ahh okay thats all i was after :) [03:55] Goldenson: Take at look at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25683 they might help [03:55] anyone?

[04:12] i need nfs help. got it all setup but when i try to mount the server folder i get: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting [04:12] kindofabuzz: is the nfs service running on the server machine? Is there any kind of other firewall between them? [04:12] anyone know how to dual boot with mac os? what hsould I add in grub menu.lst? [04:12] tonyyarusso: yes and no [04:13] kindofabuzz: can you make other sorts of connections between the two? (eg, ssh) [04:13] tonyyarusso: userid's are the same too, so i don't no what the problem is [04:13] tonyyarusso: yes [04:13] workmaster2n:system-preferences-sound [04:13] Starnestommy, thanks [04:14] workmaster2n:sound events [04:14] pen: if you're on a real Intel Mac then you can use the firmware bootloader to chainload grub on an MBR partition or rEFIt. No idea what the story is if you're one of those OSx86 people. [04:14] hello folks [04:14] kindofabuzz: just going on memory here - is there and ACL of any kind in the NFS server config that would say who is allowed to mount it? [04:14] Can I also do a find and look for multiple file extensions at one? like, find . -mtime 1 -daystart -name "*.kas|*.txt" maybe? [04:15] I am new to the world of linux... and obviously I have a question [04:15] tonyyarusso: the server has a fresh install of ubuntu [04:15] blahz welcome to LInux and Ubuntu go ahead and ask your question. [04:15] LSD|Ninja, I'm on a laptop, the cpu support the instructions [04:15] tonyyarusso: here's my export /home/jason/share 192.168.1.200(rw,no_root_squash,async) [04:15] I wnat to view tiff images in mozilla via download and view [04:15] thiebaude: Im there [04:15] I installed the tiff plug, but I still cant see my images.. it is all black [04:16] but it works fine on windows viewer [04:16] the images are in the 1-4mb range [04:17] blahz I think you can view tiff with evince [04:17] LSD|Ninja, what do you mean? is it like windows? where you add chainloader or... [04:17] workmaster2n:system-preferences-sound-sound events [04:17] kindofabuzz: I'm not really sure at this point - will let you know if I think of somethihng [04:17] well, I was going to use gimp or something, but I would much rather have something very light [04:17] workmaster2n:and test it [04:17] tonyyarusso: yeah i've been reading and basically all i can find is to make sure userid's are the same, and they are [04:18] pen: did you look at this guide? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [04:18] harriseldon: he's not on a real Intel Mac I suspect [04:18] My old session thrashes when I switch users. What could be happening? [04:19] workmaster2n:and select your sound card [04:19] "detlef@MD97600:~$ file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/kbabeldict.desktop; /usr/share/app-install/desktop/kbabeldict.desktop: UTF-8 Unicode text" Where from does gnome-search-tool take the information that this file is of type=Desktop configuration file? [04:19] When I play flash in firefox, sound in movie player doesn't work until I close firefox [04:19] lgc, can you be more specific? I am not sure what you mean by "thrashes" [04:19] chiefinnovator: sounds normal. what sound card? [04:20] bullgard4: the .desktop filename extension [04:20] LSD|Ninja, that's normal? But I'd like to leave FF open while i play a movie [04:20] thiebaude: I don't know which to select [04:20] how do I find my sound card? [04:20] my bluetooth doesnt work on ubuntu 8.04, please help me [04:20] workmaster2n:sound playback [04:21] workmaster2n:the first one [04:21] chiefinnovator: sudo lshw -C sound [04:21] blahz you might want to check out mozplugger for what you are trying to do also. [04:21] Starnestommy: And the file command cannot do this also? [04:21] Why did Hardy only half-include PulseAudio? There's no way to move streams to the right sound card. [04:21] any good with bluetooth in ubuntu?? [04:21] I don't have any sound :P [04:21] You have to _manually_ install pavucontrol. [04:21] bullgard4: the file command uses a different database to determine file types [04:21] That's lame. [04:21] workmaster2n:do you have intergrated sound on your computer? [04:21] Uninstalling pulseaudio didn't help me :P [04:21] *-multimedia [04:21] description: Audio device [04:21] product: 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [04:21] vendor: Intel Corporation [04:21] physical id: 1b [04:21] chiefinnovator: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[04:22] thiebaude: I get an error that the device is beign used by another application [04:22] after my upgrade to hardy... all my tool bars are gone(and issues with my video drivers, working on that)... where did my tool bars go?" [04:22] I've installed the GUI things to manage PulseAudio. [04:22] chiefinnovator: onboard = no mixer so only one app can have the sound at a time [04:22] fresh ubuntu server install inside a VM... I get "feature not present on CPU" - 0:6 [04:22] why is this? [04:22] You have to set gnome to use PulseAudio. [04:22] DanaG : I did it too, but it didn't help me :P [04:22] It's probably defaulting to the onboard sound card. [04:23] DanaG: how ? [04:23] package name: pavucontrol [04:23] workmaster2n:will you reboot your computer? [04:23] Thanks, LSD|Ninja. I feel like it used to work in Dapper though [04:23] harriseldon, I usually have many applications open, spread in 6 desktops. Whenever another user wants to switch to their account from my lock screen, I just can't go back to my things. It does some sort of reboot. [04:23] I mean, that's the volume-control thingy that lets you set default device. [04:23] thiebaude: I can do that - thanks for the help! [04:23] DanaG: I know the packages [04:23] chiefinnovator: It can be made to work after a fashion but it's not 100% [04:23] System->Preferences->Sound -- set to PulseAudio. [04:23] workmaster2n:tell me what happens:p [04:24] i'll be here [04:24] does anyone have a thinkpad t41 here? [04:24] lgc, what kind of reboot? computer reboot? or just restart of X? [04:24] ok, I guess it's good enough, I'll just close FF to use other sounds. I guess someone already put in a bug on that somewhere? [04:24] DanaG: I didn't succeed :P but I can try [04:24] tonyyarusso: i figured out what it was, i had the server ip inthe exports instead of the client [04:24] chiefinnovator: It's stupid (and yet, typical for open source development) that ALSA was in development for years and years and this feature was continually though not important enough to implement [04:24] kindofabuzz: ah [04:25] How can I start up (or log into) the CLI, without X? [04:25] chiefinnovator, I tried this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739&highlight=skype+pulse your results may vary === eboyjr is now known as eboyjr` [04:25] Thanks, LSD|Ninja. I does sound like an open source pattern [04:25] harriseldon, I'm not sure if X restarts, but it's not a complete restart. === eboyjr` is now known as eboyjr [04:25] The real problem with Flash: it abuses ALSA, and doesn't get along with PulseAudio.

[04:25] hotmonkeyluv: login [04:25] My sound says it's using OSS though not pulse [04:25] hoymonkey, start up then hit CTRL+ALT+F5, login there and do "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" to stop X [04:25] DanaG: It's not Flash's fault. [04:26] DanaG: I get "Connection failed. Connection refused." [04:26] lgc, is everyone forced to log back in or is your session just black and not responding? [04:26] Joe__: thanks! [04:26] Odd: the PA server must not be running. [04:26] DanaG: when trying pavucontrol [04:26] Do you have the "sound system" enabled on the second tab of the Sound preferences thingy? [04:27] yes [04:27] DanaG: ALSA has had this problem for years and there's simply no excuse for it [04:27] harriseldon, I'm forced to log back in, sometimes sucessfully, sometimes not (and the X session freezes). [04:27] so when i copy a file to a mounted nfs folder on the client machine, it's actually stored on the server? [04:27] Can anyone recommend a good webcam for ubuntu please thats cheap?

If so, have you tried with effects disabled? What type of graphics card? [04:28] I have a few things that break under PulseAudio: Flash, Skype (don't use it anyway), and Wine. [04:28] Starnestommy: "The file command is not much more than a wrapper around the "magic" library {libmagic1}." What database does gnome-search-tool use? For example, it cannot simply look at the (last) extension to determine the type of the file libtracker-gtk.so.0 [04:28] !mount [04:28] 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 [04:28] harriseldon, could it have something to do with swap?

[04:28] i need help about emobile pc card [04:28] I want to hear sth in yoputube :( [04:28] But Wine doesn't do much for me, anyway. And I _do_ use the multi-device features of PulseAudio. [04:28] bullgard4: I'm not sure what gnome uses [04:28] I miss Gutsy :P [04:29] Starnestommy: Thank you for commenting. [04:29] harriseldon, no. I disabled the effects long ago.

[04:30] langleyo, here is a link to webcams that work in Ubuntu -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [04:30] I don't use FlashBlock.

[04:33] how do I find out program launch command, if I know that it's (program's) name? f.e. xcursor-themes [04:33] saandro [04:33] how do I find out program launch command, if I know that it's (program's) name? f.e. xcursor-themes [04:34] hio saandro, i'm back [04:34] hello [04:34] you need to enter the package name [04:34] harriseldon, I don't seem to have the Xorg.0.log entry on the left. [04:34] Virtue, you can use dpkg-cache -L xcursor-themes (that will list all files installed: search for something usually in /usr/bin) [04:34] oh thanks, I think that's exactly what I needed :] [04:34] lgc, how comfortable are you with the terminal? [04:34] how to get a pc card connexion [04:35] emma: around? [04:35] Yes saandro [04:35] Virtue, you can also enter this: xprop | grep WM_CLASS into a terminal, then select the window of the application to get the package name [04:35] harriseldon, quite.

[04:35] That may help. [04:36] dpkg-cache command not found [04:36] lgc, you can always use more /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the command prompt, then sift through the log looking for errors. If it just crashed and you are at the command line, you can use the tail command to only view the last entries [04:36] saandro - I had a problem like this with Gutsy but I was able to log on.

[04:44] it worked fine on 1.5.6 [04:44] devis, - I know VMware will run XP..dunno if it will actually let XP dial-out, or use NDiswrapper [04:44] jtaylor13: boot splash screens are handled through usplash. Look online for tutorials. As for corner effect, it is part of compiz-fusion (Desktop Effects) You have to configure the specific effects you want.

[04:46] okay i see this: Nissan Login: *and i put this in* cody [04:46] group:i have a sprint ex-720 wireless card.How can i run it in ubuntu? [04:46] then i see [04:46] devis, check all your XP connect settings all over again, and ports [04:46] Password: but it wont let me type one.. [04:46] Can someone help me change the screen resolution, the highest it will let me go is 800x600 and I would like a bigger size, attempts at using google to fix the problem have failed. [04:46] Joe__, my bad killall -9 firefox-bin would be the exact command [04:46] emma, yes you're right [04:46] then when i push enter irt says Incorrect Login [04:46] usser: fx is running the pdftotext? That's what top is saying is eating all the CPU [04:46] i use a wireless router. Could that be the problem? [04:46] usser - now there is something I don't hear every day! :P [04:46] drivetrax: You don't really need the capability for VMWare to dial-out. The host OS would have some kind of internet connectin you tell VMWare to NAT thriugh. [04:47] harriseldon, I've been through the logs and nothing catches my attention. [04:47] any ideas? [04:47] LSD|Ninja, virtualBox [04:47] Joe__, pdftotext what is that? did u run it? [04:47] and.. i do not know either [04:47] emma, yes me neither :) [04:47] drivetrax: I'd imagine vBox would have a similar array of networking options to VMWare so the same applies [04:47] usser: I didn't... but tracked did.. which is the indexer, guess it had to reindex everything since teh upgrade [04:47] sorry lgc, I use fast user switching and I have not had any problems. Hopefully someone else was following the chat and may be able to help. [04:48] I cant login to Ubuntu [04:48] how do I get amarok to launch instead of rhythmbox for an ipod insert? [04:48] Nissan_350Z is is the graphical login or terminal login? [04:48] i like ubuntu but i wish there was a video chat program [04:48] What command will list the partitions on the system? [04:48] LSD|Ninja, my same assumption.. and reason I said to recheck [04:48] Nissan_350Z: are you typing the right password? [04:48] harriseldon: thanks!! [04:48] eboyjr: sufo fdisk -l [04:48] Nissan_350Z terminal logins do not show the password while you type. [04:48] another question, System Monitor under Gutsy showed both cores, now it shows one and under the System tab states it's a dual core... that normal/correct behaviour? [04:48] sudo* [04:48] hacim - This seems like more of a question for an Amarok or ipod channel. This channel is for Ubuntu support. [04:48] it wont let me enter a password [04:48] Nissan_350Z: it won't show it, but you can still enter it [04:48] and when i push enter it says Incorrect Login [04:49] emma: it used to be something you configured in ubuntu [04:49] emma: but that option went away [04:49] harriseldon, what's the difference with fast user switching and the other method?

[04:50] Joe__, hm this process doesnt make any sense anyway, i'd say kill it [04:50] can i Pm someone for help with this [04:50] i logged in [04:50] emma: Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the factory. Killing bono-activation-server and restarting Nautliys my help fix the problem [04:50] but it still shows the text screen? [04:50] lgc that uses fast user switching [04:50] emma: but isn't it weird that I see artifacts at the logon screen? [04:50] saandro did you kill bonobo-activation-server ? [04:50] Slayeth: There used to be an applet in Gutsy that gave you more control over resolution and refresh rates but it seems to have been left on the cutting room floor in Hardy :( [04:51] LSD|Ninja: "Screens and Graphics"? [04:51] usser: I remember seeing it when I moved to Gutsy, if I remember correctly trackerd(the desktop search/indexing thingy) uses it to open all my ebooks(25G worth) and read them as text for indexing purposes [04:51] I want to get off of the text screen and onto the System, like where the programs are.. [04:51] emma: never had a chance but I can give it a shot... [04:51] Joe__, oh, yea that makes sense [04:51] harriseldon, so I'm user 'fast user switching'? [04:51] Nissan_350Z: which version of ubuntu are you using? [04:52] lgc that is correct [04:52] What "Scanning the mirror" in the ubuntu installation means? Is it trying to read repos? [04:52] patifa: Something like that. It was in teh Administration section of the System menu. The one that was (and still is) in the Preferences section was useless. [04:52] hola [04:52] http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1237/1315705436_4cc96e87ae.jpg?v=0 [04:52] HOLA [04:52] ian_liu88: I think that's what it's doing [04:52] Nissan_350Z is this a new install? Has the graphical login ever come up? [04:52] LSD|Ninja tell me if that link I just posted is it [04:52] usser: But is it correct for the System Monitor to only display one CPU usage graph on a dual core? Gutsy showed two, one for each core [04:52] I think I know what the problem is but not how to fix it, the default monitor on my laptop isn't functional and I have to use a desktop one, and the xorg file is showing everything as default. I searched google and tried to edit the xorg and add higher resolutions, but doing so made the GUI unbootable. [04:52] any idea how can this be fixed or fooled ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11060/ [04:52] So, is repos working now? Cause it is stuck;;; [04:52] theres no graphics [04:52] LSD|Ninja: or this http://tombuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/displayconfig-gtk.jpg [04:52] its just text [04:52] Nissan_350Z: what happens when you type Ctrl+Alt+F7 ? [04:53] idk [04:53] let me go check [04:53] patifa: they're both the same... That looks it it hough [04:53] er, press, not type [04:53] Nissan_350Z what happens if you sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart from the command line (you will have to enter your password again) [04:53] Joe__, do cat /proc/cpuinfo see how many cores are there? [04:53] Oh, whatever! I think I'm going to switch to Hardy any time now. Any warning to this respect. [04:53] saandro, do you have a file called mono-1.9 in your home directory? [04:53] gosh... [04:53] anyone using ati drivers using both hdmi and dvi outputs [04:54] ian_liu88: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=645242 [04:54] Ctrl+Alt+F7 does nothing [04:54] usser: Only shows one, but model name says Dual Core AMD [04:54] WOAH, here we go [04:54] installing ! [04:54] Hey all [04:54] YAY! [04:54] lgc fast user switching seems to work better for me (it uses the ConsoleKit package for doing it. It is probably a newer version in Hardy) [04:54] Nissan_350Z: is this the desktop or server version of ubuntu? [04:54] anyone?? amd690 chipset? [04:54] Desktop so i thought [04:54] Joe__, is it a 64 bit cpu? [04:54] Hello all! [04:54] Joe__, do you use 64 bit ubuntu? [04:54] anyway i can install the stable verion of firefox on ubuntu 8.04? [04:54] g [04:55] For once I am here to say Hello, and not ask for help ;) [04:55] Nissan_350Z try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" without the quotes [04:55] hey kneeki [04:55] usser: installed 32bit, just did a distro upgrade over my Gutsy install [04:55] hi kneeki [04:55] harriseldon, any other noteworthy new thing? [04:55] need some guidance to get me to enable HDMI output [04:55] Anybody else having trouble with animation flickering on ati radeon xpress cards? [04:55] Joe__, gutsy had two cores? [04:56] lgc, the new firefox, plus updated apps. Nothing mind blowing for me. It depends on what you use. [04:56] usser: yes [04:56] I think my internet was giving time outs.. so ubuntu couldn't read repos.. [04:56] hola a todos [04:56] Hola [04:56] harriseldon, sounds like a 'maintenance release' or what is that called? [04:56] Joe__, u [04:56] hola [04:56] Sudo: Command Not found. [04:57] usser: ? [04:57] lgc it is a long term support release [04:57] hola geisha [04:57] harriseldon, do you use Gmail?

I use the imap plugin in Thunderbird to access it as well [04:57] Puerto rico [04:57] Woot! [04:57] harriseldon: Sudo: Command Not found. [04:58] Nissan_350Z it is case sensitive [04:58] Still need help fixing the resolution, anyone? [04:58] usser: Always something goes wrong with my installs...

[04:58] lol cwolfe [04:58] LSD|Ninja: Right click the applications menu in GNOME and edit it. You'll find screens and graphics somewhere in there, I think under "Other" [04:58] Matt0811: CTRL + ALT + Left/Right aarow [04:58] harriseldon, according to Gmail, it's not supposed to work with Firefox 3. Is that your personal experience? [04:58] ty [04:58] Joe__, this might concern you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=554890 [04:59] patifa: yeah, but the fact it was dropped with no decent replacement still irks [04:59] LSD|Ninja: Make sure you use the Test option, do not use "OK". There's little recovery from a really bad resolution/driver/refresh rate if you don't use the test feature. [04:59] lgc I primarily use google reader in firefox and that works great. [04:59] harriseldon: /etc/init.d/gdm start Command not found. [04:59] harriseldon, Google Docs? [04:59] Can anyone help me with the problem i have with my graphics [04:59] No matter what resolution I select hitting test gives me an error [04:59] is there any open source drivers fo r toshiba satellite laptops? [04:59] Even for the current resolution and settings [04:59] lgc, no it is an rss feed aggregator [04:59] my screensavers seem to flicker and run slow as all hell [05:00] devis: what drivers are you looking for in particular? [05:00] is there a workaround to fix that? [05:00] cyber-geisha: nVidia :P [05:00] atheros wireless driver [05:00] :( [05:00] harriseldon, no, I was asking if you use Google Docs. [05:00] Nissan_350Z you may have installed the server version which does not come with a graphical interface. [05:00] and realtek audio drivers [05:00] lgc I do not use Google Docs [05:00] oh no [05:00] what do i do now?! [05:00] lol [05:00] devis: you should be covered on both counts [05:00] hi [05:00] Nissan_350Z: it might be possible that you accidentally installed the server version [05:00] can somebody please let me know what the program, on the right side of this picture is called? it's the one with CPU info and such. i'd love to download it, but knowing the name would be handy for the search. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black [05:01] Nissan_350Z: it might be possible that you accidentally installed the server version if it elps i uses the alternate installer.. [05:01] usser: hmm, that sounds like it... where is menu.lst stored? [05:01] Nissan_350Z you can install ubuntu-desktop, but that will still leave the server packages and server performance settings. If it is a new install, just re-install. [05:01] the only problem is i get no sound on my headphones [05:01] harriseldon, I do, and it doesn't work with my Opera, so I'm stuck with snailslow Firefox. [05:01] Joe__, /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:01] Joe__, make a backup of it before changing [05:01] harriseldon how dould i do that? [05:02] lgc have you tried the fasterfox extension? I have not noticed speed problems [05:02] Well i am out for night cya [05:02] help! i've got a craigslist hottie i just met who wants to talk via IM + Cam... i have pidgin... but it doesnt seem to support IM chat? what to do? oh noes! [05:02] devis: you probably have to tell the intel-hda driver what to expect, I can't help with that as I haven't installed Ubuntu on anything with HDA integrated sound [05:02] also the speakers are very quite. I can barely hear them even though the volume is on high [05:02] harriseldon, I use it all the time, with no noticeable improvement. Ever tried Opera? [05:02] Nissan_350Z you will have to download the correct live cd and reinstall. To install the graphical part from the server type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" without the quotes [05:02] harriseldon: where can i get the fasterfox extension. is that something that makes firefox run faster? [05:03] hello [05:03] lgc: is there a version of opera for ubuntu? [05:03] devis: yes [05:03] dessnr I meant, damn completion [05:03] dessnr it adds many tweaks that you could do manually. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1269 [05:03] LSD|Ninja: thanks [05:03] dessnr, no, it's to help firefox load faster, but ppl say it's evil because it costs a lot of bandwidth on the host's side [05:04] lgc I used Opera when it first came many many eons ago. lol [05:04] usser: Seems they suggest trying to add acpi=off in menu.lst any idea where in menu.lst it should go? [05:04] dessnr, of course! Right in the repos. [05:04] dessnr: it's on their site and it's in one of the Ubuntu repos too [05:04] okay ERR, thank you harriseldon [05:04] harriseldon: yes [05:04] dessnr: Yeah, burns tons of bandwidth away uselessly preloading every link on every page. [05:04] i'm experiencing technical difficulties, i closed firefox and now when i try to open it, it says another instance is already running, but really it's not, i just restarted X with ctrl+alt+backspace and it's still doing it, how can i kill or forcequit firefox? [05:04] lgc: nice! [05:04] monkey dick and balls [05:04] amirman84: use System Monitor [05:04] saandro, any luck? [05:04] Joe__, at the very bottom where it says #End Default Options [05:04] patifa: thanks [05:04] patifa: IntangibleLiquid, harriseldon, thanks heaps. [05:04] monkey dick and balls [05:05] harriseldon: ahh, I thought dessnr was typo for doesn't... hah [05:05] Joe__, theres a line that goes kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-17-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu-root ro quiet splash vga=792 [05:05] Joe__, something like this add acpi=off to the end of it [05:05] monkey dick and balls [05:05] i have a shared fold on my ubunt box, that i "could" see from my windows box. but now it won't find the ubuntu computer any suggestions [05:05] harriseldon, It's gotten better. Only it's sort of unwieldy sometimes. And it has trouble rendering Flash stuff. Other than that, it has no match. [05:05] patifa: that was easy, thanks [05:05] Still unable to change my resolution, I receive an error when I test any setting. [05:05] usser: See it, I'll try that, thanks [05:05] monkey dick and balls [05:05] monkey dick and balls [05:06] can somebody please take a look at this picture and tell what app is on the right hand side is? the app with CPU time and such. I don't know what to search for in the repos to download it. [05:06] Joe__, there's a couple entries there most likely that has this line just add to the first one [05:06] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=73210&file1=73210-1.jpg&file2=73210-2.jpg&file3=73210-3.jpg&name=Slickness+Black [05:06] monkey dick and balls [05:06] dessnr: that's an interesitng gnome layout [05:06] mneptok, you still around? [05:06] dessnr: Probably gdesklets or screenlets, but that's a guess. [05:07] patifa: Yeah I have copied the layout with the theme, but i just don't have the app on the right. [05:07] is it just me, or is FX 3 painfully slower than 2... [05:07] dessnr is that gkrellm? [05:07] Joe__, sure as hell buggier [05:07] patifa: ok I will try those [05:07] I am a new user and I am converted! [05:07] harriseldon: i don't know... [05:07] grumble, and my two favourite extentions don't work with it [05:08] jatket, have a cookie [05:08] harriseldon: can i cancel the download? [05:08] dessnr you can ask the author of the post. They are usually very good [05:08] :P [05:08] thanks [05:08] Nissan_350Z ctrl-C will cancel the current command [05:08] dessnr: it might be gkrellm, but gkrellm is a lot smaller... [05:08] k [05:08] thank you [05:08] lol [05:08] harriseldon: ok [05:09] patifa: i will have a look for those now and get back you and harriseldon... thanks for the information. [05:09] oh I hate life without my tabmix plus extention [05:09] bye fer now [05:09] dessnr: oh, and can you tell me how you got the theme in the picture you posted? [05:10] <_Net> I need some quick help please. [05:10] <_Net> I closed firefox using the ps x from terminal [05:10] <_Net> and now when I run it it shwos up and says its loading then closes [05:10] patifa: yes indeed, i will give you the link where i got it with full instructions. follow the command prompts that are noted on the page so that it installs properly. [05:10] dessnr, yeah, the theme looks cool [05:10] im looking for some software for editing / creating audio. I have used acid, and would like something as powerful, if not more. I like how it interacts with loops, but i want to stem off to actual mixing. any recomendations? === mactimes is now known as Ensinando [05:11] dessnr the post at gnome-look mention conky (via conkeyrc) [05:11] _Net, does it give any other information such as saying that an instance of Firefox is already running? === Ensinando is now known as mactimes [05:11] ok, pray with me... going to reboot and see if this gets me my second core back... and hopefully without turning my 4 monitors into two mirrors and 2 black screens [05:11] patifa and IntangibleLiquid, http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Slickness+Black?content=73210 [05:11] dessnr the side bar may be through conky [05:11] _Net, try opening a terminal and typing killall firefox-bin and then try opening Firefox again. [05:11] <_Net> Ok. [05:11] harriseldon: thats what the app is called harriseldon? i seen that but didn't know what it meant. [05:11] <_Net> No process killed [05:12] <_Net> it says "Starting Firefox web" [05:12] <_Net> and then it dissapears [05:12] hm. [05:12] <_Net> Actually I thinksomething is wrong with my ubuntu [05:12] dessnr yes that is the app. If you ever listened to Linux Reality, the host, Chess Griffin, was a big proponent of Conky [05:12] <_Net> When I go to Applications -> Take screenshot it opens a dialog but nothing in it [05:12] <_Net> or if I go to anything else [05:12] <_Net> it opens a dialog but blank [05:12] <_Net> Some work though, like character map, pidgin, [05:12] Have you tried restarting? [05:12] _Net: Restart your GUI. Close/Save whatever you care about, THEN Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [05:12] _Net you can use the print screen button on the keyboard. That will take a screenshot and open the app [05:13] harriseldon: gotcha! thanks for the info. also, what is metacity? [05:13] dessnr metacity is the window manager (draws window borders) [05:13] harriseldon, I'm upgrading now. Wish me good luck... [05:13] harriseldon: ahhh, thanks again. [05:13] lgc good luck! :-) [05:13] does anyone know how to change preferred applications in nautilus? [05:13] Yeah except compiz and metacity conflict. [05:14] patifa do you mean emerald and metacity? I run compiz with metacity just fine. [05:14] patifa: i noticed compiz had some problems. some graphic glitches and i seemed to get a few crashes while running it. [05:14] harriseldon, thanks. I always cross my fingers so I don't end up with an up-to-date and frozen computer. [05:15] lgc my upgrade went smoothly [05:15] hacim - such as a preference application for launching a certain kind of file? [05:15] usser: No luck there... and gave me some error that scrolled by too fast === soldats_ is now known as soldats [05:16] harriseldon: since i have installed feisty, i have had smooth upgrades to gutsy and then hardy all along. i couldn't ever do that with windows.... ubuntu truly is a blessing. [05:16] emma: in nautilus preferences, there is a media tab, where you can choose what to do, but i'm only given the choice of rhythmbox, I cannot change it to anything else [05:16] Joe__, hm... well i really am lost looks like its one of those rare bugs that no one can quite point a finger at [05:16] hacim -- try right clicking on the type of file you want to set a preferred application to open it with, and then select 'open with' [05:16] im looking for some software for editing / creating audio. I have used acid, and would like something as powerful, if not more. I like how it interacts with loops, but i want to stem off to actual mixing. any recomendations? [05:16] how can i get compiz-fusion on my ubuntu 8.04? [05:16] harriseldon, mine usually did, till Edgy, if I recall right. When some smart guy decided to use RAID stuff in the default install. [05:16] !info compiz-fusion [05:16] Package compiz-fusion does not exist in hardy [05:16] i'm running ubuntu 7.10 server edition, shouldn't sudo apt-get dist-upgrade show a lot of updates since 8.04 is out? it shows that i need none [05:16] emma: the problem is... its not a file I want to change the application launch behavior of, its when a device is plugged in [05:17] marfu you tried audacity [05:17] hacim did you see this blog post? http://adean.blogspot.com/2008/04/even-more-ubuntu-804-remarks.html [05:17] devis you just need to install the advanced compiz menu [05:17] devis, try sudo apt-get install compiz-gnome [05:18] hacim, try gnome-default-applications-properties [05:18] devis, it comes installed [05:18] harriseldon, i did a sudo apt-get install conky and it's installing it now... will let you know if that was the app we are discussing. [05:18] harriseldon: thats exactly my problem [05:18] hacim, if you want more choices besides rhythmbox, you'll have to install some alternative players [05:19] devis advanced desktop effects settings if you want additional effects like cube ect [05:19] anyone knows how to install cursors ? I have package, but doesn't go no matter I do... [05:19] calebH: yeah, I did that, but that didn't work :( [05:19] calebH: I have amarok installed... [05:19] hacim, on my system I have the choice of banshee, rythmbox, totem, or custom (where you can type in a command) [05:19] devis, you can also try /join #compiz-fusion for questions about compiz-fusion [05:19] anyone know why all my GL games say cant open shared object libXx86dga.so.1? [05:19] calebH: I changed mine to custom and typed amarok in the box [05:20] hmm... hopefully some update will fix this... [05:20] When I restart or shutdown I see the shutdown process and there is a network and libhal error anyone know what this is [05:20] anyone knows how to install cursors ? I have package, but doesn't go no matter I do... [05:20] calebH: but I am pretty sure its a nautilus config [05:20] or where to find the error log [05:20] hmmm [05:20] weird [05:20] next issue... I can't remember how to set my hotkeys, seems they all got lost in the ugprade too(like I used to be able to hit my play/pause button to... play/pause music) [05:20] calebH: because if I go to Places->Home->edit->Preferences->Media [05:20] Hi there! I've got sound control issues.... Could someone help? [05:21] hacim, what type of files do you want to auto-open in amarok? [05:21] patifa: i don't think it's conky, although conky does have some neat features, but it lacks a nice interface. it's just a text inerface. [05:21] calebH: I only have rhythmbox as an option... if I disable it altogether, on insert of the device it asks me what to do [05:21] strangely, seems that's the ONLY hotkey not workng... [05:21] calebH: on insert of an ipod [05:21] probably a very simple question, how do I find out where and what was installed from a deb package. I installed acroread, but need to add the asian font pack and I need to check where it's actually installed to. [05:21] ah [05:21] hacim, hang on [05:21] calebH: hanging on! [05:21] ross_cav: dpkg -L acroread [05:21] thx [05:22] ross_cav, or in the terminal whereis acroread [05:22] anyone know why all my GL games say cant open shared object libXx86dga.so.1? i have the file installed [05:23] hacim, shoot - I thought gnome-volume-properties might have mp3 players listed that would control that behavior but it's not there [05:23] !lamp [05:23] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[05:25] is it somewhere in there? [05:26] usser, whereis command I tried before, but that only gives me the following acroread: /usr/bin/acroread /usr/share/man/man1/acroread.1.gz [05:26] ah crap...

[05:29] CaptainMorgan, no i just wanted to look at them see how recent they are [05:30] patifa: it is conky, harriseldon was right, cause i looked at the first posts and someone asked about the side bar. the reply was that it was conky, by the author as harriseldon has said. the text in conky is so small though so I will have to work out a way to get it bigger.

When I go to preferences>sound and test it I get this "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=music: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument" [05:30] usser, fine, but you could've scrolled up- it wasn't too long ago [05:30] IntangibleLiquid: do you use viqr, telex, or vni? [05:31] secret901, I use VNI pal [05:31] patifa secret901 are you going through the same that I am? [05:31] Flannel, your statement doesn't answer my question [05:31] Conky isn't too difficult to script [05:31] Konam: what are you going through? [05:31] fyi [05:31] anyone whats the command for dc? [05:31] Konam: not anymore. Sound works fine. I'm not messing with it. [05:31] CaptainMorgan, guide looks a bit dated i setup mine using this http://howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server [05:31] secret901 no sound and getting a weird error [05:32] IntangibleLiquid: it seems that scim uses viqr by default, but I thought the latest version changed it to telex [05:32] direct chat [05:32] patifa but you didn't have sound right? how did you solved it? [05:32] Good night everyone. [05:32] Konam: Set all my sound options to asla [05:32] night emma [05:32] Konam: I had that problem when I installed the beta, but resolved it by rebuilding the kernel [05:32] TheMaverick`: scripting will come later for me, as at the moment, i am just trying to work out how to get conky's text bigger. have you any idea on how to edit it's settings? [05:32] IntangibleLiquid: it looks like it's still defaulting to viqr [05:32] tmapj: /dcc chat [05:33] usser, dated, indeed- hence my question.... your link might be valid, but who do I have to blame if it doesn't work? who do I go to for support? I'd rather follow the official Ubuntu docs.. *when* they come out [05:33] IntangibleLiquid: is unikey giving you problems? [05:33] secret901, I installed m17n and m17n-db. It has all of these input methods, but I don't know how to activate it. For example, I open OO and still don't know how to type in VNese [05:33] does anyone know how to actually use the ATi X.org driver package? [05:33] I've installed it, but I have no way of "using" it [05:33] TheMaverick`: not me i'm afraid. [05:33] secret901, I think x-unikey is giving some problems. Pidgin often crashes in the middle and sometimes I cannot type any more. Firefox sometimes crash while I'm writing in Vietnamese [05:34] secret901, are you Vietnamese by any chance? [05:34] TheMaverick`: you really should use the packages ... but you need to put Driver "fglrx" in Section "Device" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:34] IntangibleLiquid: what do you mean? I live in the US [05:34] TheMaverick, http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support [05:34] IntangibleLiquid: this bug might be relevant to you: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/191451 [05:34] Launchpad bug 191451 in gtk+2.0 "Bad default choices for Vietnamese installation" [Medium,Fix released] [05:34] it works [05:35] patifa dude, I just did it, sound came back :) but this wasn't suppose to happen. This is a LTS, the updates aren't suppose to break THE SOUND, is something very basic. Seeing this glitches in Hardy make me think that the real LTS will be Intrepid Ibex... [05:35] crdlb: i used the Add/Remove GUI to install it [05:35] CaptainMorgan, yea you got the point. [05:35] usser, besides.. from the wiki, it appears php4 is no being supported or is being taken out of the repos from now on(since hard) [05:35] patifa: did you have problems when playing a video? [05:35] dessnr: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=615006 [05:35] TheMaverick`: what ATI card do you have? [05:35] TheMaverick: http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support [05:35] try that [05:35] secret901: Don't remember. [05:35] CaptainMorgan, i still see it in the repos [05:36] IntangibleLiquid: I've been trying to get scim to work on something besides VIQR [05:36] crdlb: grumble, now back to low graphics mode again... [05:36] I'm finding there's examples of incremental updates for apt. Is anyone familiar with these (maybe on other distros?) [05:36] IntangibleLiquid: but haven't been able to [05:36] crdlb: i have Radeon 1400 mobile [05:36] Konam: Technically they have plenty of time to fix 8.04. They have 5 years of releases for it. If there's some software fixes to be made, they'll do it, and for 5 years because of LTS marker. [05:36] Use rsync or xdelta with apt to cut down bandwidth etc. [05:36] usser, glance over that !lamp link.. it's in there [05:36] hi i have a strange red colored 'download updates' icon - what does it mean? [05:36] IntangibleLiquid: when you right-click on an input box, do you see "Input Methods"? [05:36] KalEl: Security update [05:36] secret901, actually i like x-unikey, but things keep crashing. [05:36] TheMaverick`: Thanks heaps! [05:36] TheMaverick`: use the Hardware Drivers manager in System > Administration [05:36] ah.. since 7.04 [05:37] KalEl: (Downward red arrow with an exclaimation mark in it) [05:37] dessnr: np ;) [05:37] CaptainMorgan, ah yes you're right its gone [05:37] secret901, where? I don't get what you mean [05:37] yeah that's the one! thanks patifa [05:37] Hi, I can't compile something because I don't have 'dlsym', 'dlerror', 'dlopen', & 'dlclose'. Does anybody know what I need to apt-get to fix this? [05:37] im looking for some software for editing / creating audio. I have used acid, and would like something as powerful, if not more. I like how it interacts with loops, but i want to stem off to actual mixing. any recomendations? [05:37] Joe__: did you use something other than the hardware drivers manager to install the nvidia driver? [05:37] hi5-> can you not do the same with just choosing which package you want updated via synaptic [05:37] IntangibleLiquid: do you use Pidgin? [05:37] crdlb: it told me i have no proprietary drivers installed [05:37] KalEl: looks like it works. It got your attention really quick ;) [05:37] Ollie: is build-essential installed? [05:37] secret901, yes, I do [05:37] Starnestommy: yes [05:37] IntangibleLiquid: right-click on the input box [05:37] Ollie: read the source README, it should tell you what deps you need [05:37] cdrlb: Nope, grabbed the package from synaptic, then used Hardware Drivers to enable [05:37] TheMaverick`: check that restricted is enabled in System > Administration > Software Sources [05:38] IntangibleLiquid: do you see "Input methods" as an option? [05:38] my name is hgy. [05:38] kindofabuzz: it doesn't [05:38] patifa, sure it does... great job on that! [05:38] hi everyone [05:38] amenado: doesn't seem so, no. Unless you know otherwise? [05:38] secret901, I do [05:38] I have a really weird question [05:38] but [05:38] KalEl: Not 'mine' [05:38] Joe__: :/ make sure you have linux-generic installed (assuming you're using the -generic kernel) [05:38] Ollie: or INSTALL [05:38] IntangibleLiquid: do you see Vietnamese (VIQR)? [05:38] secret901, yes, I see it [05:38] cdrlb: I think I have -386... [05:38] Ollie: or wherever you got the source, read around, they'll list them somewhere [05:38] IntangibleLiquid: but nothing else? [05:38] KalEl: thank some User Interface designer who did their job. [05:39] why on earth would i have the apache2 service when its not even installed and i have never installed it? [05:39] secret901, many things else, including scim, etc. [05:39] Does anyone here have extensive knowledge of GRUB? I have a fairly complicated HDD/Partition setup and having issues getting GRUB to be recognized as my MBR so I can boot Ubuntu. [05:39] how can we get the LAMP docs to be updated for Hardy? [05:39] IntangibleLiquid: I mean for Vietnamese [05:39] Joe__: in that case, you really should switch to -generic [05:39] is there someone in charge of them? [05:39] crdlb: all are checked [05:39] patifa, yeah great job they did! [05:39] amenado:there's things like deltarpm etc, but for ubuntu I don't see any repos supporting this [05:39] crdlb: Nope, synaptic says linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic is installed [05:39] secret901, no, nothing except for viqr [05:39] will write a note to them [05:39] Joe__: -386 is used over -generic if installed [05:39] crdlb: But uname -a says overwise... [05:39] Joe__: what does 'uname -r' say? [05:40] IntangibleLiquid: that's as far as I got to, but according to the link I sent you, scim should support telex by default [05:40] IntangibleLiquid: x-unikey seems to not allow me to enter text sometimes [05:40] h15 i dont know, thats why i asked you if this are the same [05:40] crdlb: uname-r says 2.6.24-12-386... now I'm confused [05:40] I just installed Ubuntu with Wubi, and it downloaded the ISO and said the install was complete and it told me to reboot, and then when it loaded into Ubuntu it was unable to start XWindows so it just dropped me to a shell and I had to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then go into xwindows by typing startx and after that about 3 programs crashed and now im at my desktop but there is still a install icon on the desktop and a lot of [05:40] programs are still saying im in a live session. So how do I tell if it has been installed right? [05:40] Joe__: ensure that 'linux-generic' is installed, and remove linux-image-$(uname -r) if uname -r says -386 [05:40] IntangibleLiquid: and it never dies [05:40] secret901, unfortunately I can't type in telex. Anyway, I guess I'll have to live with the inconveniences. btw, why are you typing in VNese? [05:40] Can anyone help me? I'm using an nVidia MX4000 gfx card, have the restricted nvidia driver installed and enabled, and I'm stuck in 800x600 resolution. The resolution control panel doesn't allow me to go higher. [05:41] for Vietnamese text [05:41] Joe__: I just explained why; 386 has higher priority than generic, so it will be chosen over generic if installed [05:41] Does anyone here have extensive knowledge of GRUB? I have a fairly complicated HDD/Partition setup and having issues getting GRUB to be recognized as my MBR so I can boot Ubuntu. Or, otherwise, can help with an external boot manager? [05:41] secret901, so you know Vietnamese? Are you working for some Vietnamese organization? [05:41] patifa ok, but that doesn't mean that the initial release should be shit. Isn't that why Microsoft is having the Vista debacle? === calebH is now known as commonlyUNIQU3 [05:41] crdlb: Yeah... just didn't seem to be installed according to synaptic, but apt-get remove saw it [05:41] TheMaverick`: hmm, then just do it the way I said first (editing xorg.conf) [05:42] crdlb: removing now [05:42] Can anyone help me? I'm using an nVidia MX4000 gfx card, have the restricted nvidia driver installed and enabled, and I'm stuck in 800x600 resolution. The resolution control panel doesn't allow me to go higher. [05:42] IntangibleLiquid: nguoi My goc Viet === commonlyUNIQU3 is now known as calebH [05:42] crdlb: i'm in the Add/Remove Applications GUI, and it shows "ATI binary X.Org driver" checked (I am under GNOME btw) [05:42] secret901, why the vietnamese? [05:43] crdlb: ok, removed 386 and reinstalled generic(just to be sure it's there), reboot and pray? [05:43] TheMaverick`: yes, but that doesn't make it be used [05:43] secret901, cool. [05:43] Does anyone know how to use the touchkit for ubuntu??? i dont know how to calabrate [05:43] some of them are coming this summer [05:43] joetheodd: Add back Screens and Graphics using the Main Menu in Preferences. It'll be under the Other category. [05:43] Joe__: yes as long as linux-generic is installed (it's a metapackage that installs everything else you should need) [05:43] hi5: it's a spy code [05:43] lol, wtf? [05:44] TheMaverick`: that's where the hardware drivers manager is supposed to come in :/ [05:44] ok, rebooting and praying :P [05:44] IntangibleLiquid: I sometimes have to type for vi.wikipedia [05:44] crdlb: it doesn't show up in hardware drivers manager :-S [05:44] secret901, you must be an academic :D [05:44] TheMaverick`: so edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually [05:44] IntangibleLiquid: not really [05:45] crdlb: ok, will try that [05:45] secret901, where are you living now? Working? [05:45] TheMaverick`: in case you lost it: put Driver "fglrx" in Section "Device" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:45] IntangibleLiquid: California [05:45] crdlb: rebooted, back to low graphics mode again [05:45] crdlb: have it under my notices, but ty for the repost ;) [05:46] IntangibleLiquid: are you in Vietnam? [05:46] crdlb: Try the reinstall of xorg-core and nvidia again? [05:46] does anyone know how to calibrate the screen using TouchKit? [05:46] sudo get-edit prints: "Performing real mode VBE call." What does 'VBE' stand for? [05:46] Joe__: does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf actually say Driver "nvidia" ? [05:46] secret901, been living here since I was born :) HCMC specifically [05:46] secret901: #ubuntu-offtopic [05:46] Found my solution.... Thank you all, have a nice whatever-time-of-day-it-is-where-you-are! [05:46] bullgard4: vesa bios extensions afaik [05:46] emma: hello emma, back again. I tried to kill bonobo, but it can't find the process [05:47] anyone know how to get rid of pulseaudio? vlc and other video playing programs have been freezing whenever I try to play a video [05:47] virtuald: hmm [05:47] secret901, I installed Scim, got the non_latin packages, viqr, telex, and vni appeared in the global setup box. I enabled it. Then how do I activate it like I activate unikey? [05:47] crdlb: yes, for all 4 monitors [05:47] IntangibleLiquid: I wish I knew. I'm in the same boat as you. [05:48] * IntangibleLiquid "sigh" [05:48] has anyone where had problems with nautlus just not loading? [05:48] For some reason I cannot connect to a server via svn on linux, same server, i can on windows and on linux can use sudo apt-get update [05:48] I don't get why this is not working [05:48] Joe__: pastebin the output of: dmesg | grep -i nv [05:48] secret901, I'm doing a reboot and see what happens. C y [05:48] (if any) [05:48] crdlb: Strange... the nvidia driver isn't listed in hardware drivers after removing 386... let me reinstall that first [05:48] intangibleliquid, secret901, I have the same problem as you when i tried kde4... scim kept not working correctly [05:48] glad to know it wasn't just me [05:48] Joe__: that's not a good idea, you don't want to use that kernel [05:48] crdlb: telling me i can't save the file [05:48] hi5: how do you enable it? [05:49] /msg nickserv identify Nasra [05:49] it's enabled by default in kde-4 [05:49] TheMaverick`: open it with gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:49] crdlb: I don't want nvidia-glx-new? [05:49] vagothcpp-> are you getting any kind of errors? [05:49] hey guys i already have vista installed on my harddrive. is there anyway to access it from inside ubuntu or do i have to do a whole new install on a virtual machine? [05:49] hey guys i already have vista installed on my harddrive. is there anyway to access it from inside ubuntu or do i have to do a whole new install on a virtual machine? [05:49] Seems to have died down a bit, can someone help me fix the resolution? It's capped at 800x600 [05:49] JUst the server could not be resolved. [05:49] so, i couldn't say [05:49] Joe__: oh nevermind, I misunderstood [05:49] Does anyone here have extensive knowledge of GRUB? I have a fairly complicated HDD/Partition setup and having issues getting GRUB to be recognized as my MBR so I can boot Ubuntu. [05:49] tmapj: are you trying to access data from the Vista partition? [05:50] no i want to run a program inside [05:50] it [05:50] secret901: running scim or scim-setup works :) [05:50] just verified on my install [05:50] might need to install if you don't already have it though [05:50] hi5: then how do you enable an im? [05:50] XiD`-> whats the issue? can you post your menu.lst and device.map ? [05:51] can i install ubuntu from a flash drive ? [05:51] secret901: did you run scim-setup? [05:51] it offers "IMEngine" options right there [05:51] hi5: yes [05:51] crdlb: do i need to do anything after i save the xorg.conf? [05:51] hmm, maybe I don't understand the issue then [05:51] hi5: in the global table, everything seems to be checked [05:51] TheMaverick`: restart X [05:52] !fstab [05:52] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:52] yeah, ic that too actually [05:52] hi5: so how do I use a specific input method? [05:52] how put the icons in the right side of the desktop? [05:52] crdlb: not sure how to do that [05:52] TheMaverick`: log out, then press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace [05:53] crdlb: Well... that didn't work... and looks worse than before, some strange error about no resume image... [05:53] Hey I was interested in starting a home server, so I can stream videos/musics in hd [05:53] crdlb: ok, be back in a sec [05:53] vlc keeps freezing whenever I play a video; how do I tell it to use a different audio server? [05:53] Joe__: it doesn't even boot? [05:53] guys, this became a torture now, Iam not having firebug for 2 weeks now, since I updated to 8.4 firebug is not there, what to do ? [05:53] vlc freezing freezes my entire computer [05:53] crdlb: Just did, but would flash that error for a second, like 6 times [05:53] http://www.scim-im.org/downloads/imengines_download [05:54] i'm looking there atm to see what info there is [05:54] crdlb: Nvidia still isn't showing up as on option on Hardware Drivers [05:54] !vim [05:54] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [05:54] !code [05:54] Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, pida [05:55] hi5: which im are you trying to use? [05:55] I am debating between ubuntu and windows home server... any suggestions also has anyone used jiznora? [05:55] calebH: you can /msg ubottu [05:55] hello [05:55] Jinxed-: i'd use ubuntu server [05:55] hotmonkeyluv: how do you like it? [05:55] confidential [05:56] Ali_ix, thanks - I was just playing around. I'll take it "offline" now [05:56] Jinxed-: I've just set up a server today [05:56] Jinxed-: so I can't give a full review, but so far, I like it [05:56] I've got a weird GPG issue, can anyone help me test it? [05:56] I searched in the gconf-editor, how to put the icons in the right-side of the desktop. But I don't find anything. How can I do it? [05:56] hotmonkeyluv: do you use jiznova? [05:56] Can someone please help me change my resolution? :( [05:57] crdlb: Going to try just using 169.12 straight from Nvidia, with Gutsy using 169.07 from Nvidia worked... maybe the same will happen this time [05:57] hi5: yay, I figured it out [05:57] Slayeth, hi, what's the problem? [05:57] secret901: what'd you do? [05:58] Slayeth: did you tried prefrences > screen resoloution? [05:58] It's capped at 800x600 [05:58] hi5: choose SCIM input method [05:58] hi5: then SCIM will appear in the taskbar [05:58] yeah [05:58] Heya, what can I use to record audio that is playing on my computer? (not streams, just all sounds that are being played) [05:58] Slayeth: what is your vga? you may need to install drivers [05:58] hi5: right-click on it and choose the im you want [05:58] hi5: I mean left-click [05:58] Has anyone else set up a media server using ubuntu? [05:58] Joe__: did you check dmesg? [05:59] hmm, that makes it disappear for me [05:59] hi5: I've been right-clicking before, that's why [05:59] crdelb: Yeah, just one line [05:59] crdlb: HAHA, Success!!! [05:59] crdlb: it REALLY did not like that... [05:59] An Nvidia geforce4, I put the newest drivers in it, compiz works but it won't let me change the resolution, any advice? [05:59] i think i'm just suffering some odd bug then unrelated to your usability issue then [05:59] nm [05:59] crdlb: Installing 169.12 direct from Nvidia worked, all 4 monitors work, glxgears works [05:59] i was doing that, but it just disappears [05:59] crdlb: have you done any work with servers [05:59] (stays running in as seen in top, just goes away from menu.. meh, i give up) [05:59] hi5: which IM are you using? [05:59] Slayeth: try nvidia control panel or install displayconfig-gtk, to see if it works [05:59] crdlb: And wine works again! === HP_Owner is now known as theone [06:00] crdlb: it threw a crazy error saying my device couldn't be found, and now it's using 600x800 res with a generic driver [06:00] I have displayconfig installed, nobody what setting I test it gives me an error [06:00] Joe__: until the next X, mesa, or kernel update ... [06:00] crdlb: Same as last time, GLX only works off one of the two cards... but I had the same issue under Gutsy, and things worked out fine [06:00] And I don't see an Nvidia control panel [06:00] Heya, what can I use to record audio that is playing on my computer? (not streams, just all sounds that are being played) [06:01] crdlb: Yeah... I'll just write this down so I can redo it next time :P [06:01] rawcode [06:01] TheMaverick`: ok, what does 'uname -r' say in a terminal? [06:02] i'm running kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [06:02] I think my public key is broken, and it would be great if someone could try to send me an encrypted message. My email address is caleb.marcus@gmail.com, and my key ID is 2926DE3E [06:02] crdlb: i'm running kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [06:02] TheMaverick`: ok, sudo apt-get install linux-generic [06:03] Mimi, -- go to applications - sound & video, see if there is 'sound recorder ' there [06:03] crdlb: One last little thing, maybe you can help me with... Under Gutsy I could hit my keyboards play/pause button to play/pause my music player(Exaile), but after the upgrade it doesn't seem to work... [06:03] Jinxed-: not really === mex_ is now known as meximus [06:03] crdlb: nothign was updated [06:03] hello all [06:03] drivetrax, there is, but it records only sound that it detects from the mic .. [06:03] crdlb: The volume buttons work, mute... just not that one button [06:03] Joe__: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts? [06:04] crdlb: do you know anyone who might be able to help ... I want to set it up to stream in high def [06:04] Mimi, try anything like Audacity.. a mixer? [06:04] jus got the xchat client installed.. [06:04] Jinxed-: perhaps someone here :) [06:04] crdlb: Has it listed correctly as 0xa2 [06:04] drivetrax, i dont want t to edit sound I just want to record it and dump it in a mp3 or ogg or w/e :/ [06:04] be back later guys. bye! [06:04] Is it that difficult? :( [06:05] Joe__: same as in xev ? [06:05] crdlb xev? [06:05] Joe__: run it in a terminal, you'll see [06:05] crdlb: output from "sudo apt-get install linux-generic" - http://www.paste2.org/p/26538 [06:06] Mimi, to play a wav.. and record it into another format.. whatever it may be.. even back to wav.. requires a mixer [06:06] crdlb: ok... now how do I read that... [06:06] can anyone give me a hand installing wine, please. [06:07] Joe__: look at the keycode/keysym on the KeyPress event [06:07] hey everyone, i wanna know how to get the clone output of my gx card up to the same size as seen on my desktop, but i dunno how [06:07] drivetrax, so... *confused* okay, it needs to send input > ouput, I get it.. but.... how do I tell the sound recorder or whatever, to record What I Hear, not What I Say... ? [06:07] crdlb: When I press that button... there isn't any. Shows Keys: 2 [06:07] TheMaverick`: hmm, pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:08] Joe__: I don't know then :/ [06:08] i've got a laptop with a screen 1280x800 but my other monitor is stuck on 640x480 :/ [06:08] i would like to setup ip masquerading for my computer (192.168.1.13) through a dapper server. eth0 on the server is internet-facing, and eth1 faces 192.168.1.13, is "sudo iptables -t nat POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.13/32 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" the correct command for the server? [06:09] olleeeeeeeee!! [06:09] y la pipol [06:09] ariiiiibaa!! [06:09] necesito ayuda [06:09] crdlb: Sweet, switching back to -generic also fixed the issue with it only seeing one core! [06:09] !es | El-Lapi_ZeroX [06:09] El-Lapi_ZeroX: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [06:09] I have the same problem as mattycoze [06:09] crdlb: http://www.paste2.org/p/26539 [06:09] Joe__: yes, that's the major difference between -generic and -386 [06:09] i need help to scaning me hard drive for search errors [06:09] Slayeth ahh okay, it's so frustrating [06:09] this policy kit is going to kill ubuntu's popularity in opinion.. not intuitive enuff for an average joe or jane to configure.. [06:10] Mimi, - sound recorder has a option for 'control panel. open it, and select the tab for 'switches' [06:10] -generic is SMP-enabled [06:10] this policy kit is going to kill ubuntu's popularity in my* opinion.. not intuitive enuff for an average joe or jane to configure.. [06:10] Tell me about it, I've been using a bigger resolution for years and I'm stuck on 800x600, I feel old. [06:10] Slayeth have you found any way to correct the error, or is it a pure hardware technicality [06:10] how do I tell vlc to use a different sound server than pulseaudio? [06:10] I have no idea, I've spent the last 3 hours working on it and I'm stumped. [06:10] crdlb: I know some stuff was added to the xorg.conf file (when the error stuff occurred) === cyrus_ is now known as EvilAIM [06:11] secret901: Settings>Preferences, go to Audio>Output Modules and check off Advanced Options. You may need to restart the program to get it to take effect. [06:11] yeah same, even just to get the two to synchronise at the same resolution (even if it's 640x480 on both screens) i'd be happy with that [06:11] crdlb: There is another way to do hotkeys.. I can't remember it, had to run it from terminal and a GUI poped up, I used it to set 1 and a few others... any idea what command that was? [06:11] drivetrax, mmmm control panel? the volume control thingy? I dont see switches in there " (btw i have looked at the help files but they are very outdated and dont answer my question) [06:11] TheMaverick`: change line 35 to Driver "fglrx", then reboot (you should have done a full reboot the first time, but I wasn't thinking) [06:11] Well my Laptop monitor is broken, and the monitor I'm using now refuses to use a better resolution, works on windows not on here. [06:12] well.. i have a tab.. it says "Switches" [06:12] oh okay [06:12] Hii all, I have ATI XPRESS 200 on board graphics. After installing Hardy and installing restricted drivers, Compiz used to work fine all these days, but now I was trying some screenlets and all of a sudden Desktop Effects are disabled, when I try to set it to Extras in System->Preferences->Appearance, it says Desktop Effects could not be enabled, I donno what went wrong. Please help me [06:12] crdlb: oh, will all the garbage that was added change after reboot? [06:12] Also I ran compiz-switch sometime during the process of experimenting with screenlets [06:12] Slayeth if ya find anything, drop me a line k? [06:13] cdm10: it's not checked [06:13] Alright, so far nobody here has been much help =( [06:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12958 [06:13] you can rename xorg.conf.. and the reboot will make a fresh one [06:13] TheMaverick`: what garbage? those three sections at the bottom aren't being used [06:13] drivetrax was that directed at myself and Slayeth? [06:14] thas what they did to my xorg.conf [06:14] crdlb: the other stuff under device wasn't there the first time, the the resolution stuff is wrong [06:14] i got a joke [06:14] cdm10: so if the advanced settings is checked, I can choose a different server than the default? [06:14] my restricted drivers screwed up the resolution [06:14] TheMaverick`: ahh, remove Subsection "Display" [06:15] drivetrax okay, i don't think that'll work for me, mainly because the screen is only recognised on laptops when you pipe the output upon a "special+F4" command [06:15] secret901: yep, you can choose a different sound output module. [06:15] TheMaverick`: 54 to 58 [06:15] secret901: I'm assuming that's what you mean... [06:15] cdm10: I set the default to be alsa, but vlc is still freezing when I try to play a video [06:15] what was command to force architecture ? [06:15] wacom? drivers [06:15] linux: what are you doing? [06:15] secret901: try setting it to Linux OSS, closing the program, then running it with the command "padsp vlc" [06:15] windows" playing a game [06:16] linux: which one? [06:16] windows: all of them [06:16] I am trying to share folder with Windows following some tutorials. But, all them say to right click on the folder and choose "Share folder" which immediately calls for a password and asks what kind of share is. Mine, in Hardy, only has "Share Opetions" which brings me to a window whose never asks for a password, and when I click "Share folder" he complains I do not have permissions to do this.... How do I share folders?? [06:16] cdm10: what does that do? [06:16] hey guys [06:16] he;;p [06:16] Mimi, vlc might do ya [06:16] hello [06:16] Could anyone help me with an issue with the second life linux client? [06:16] linux: what are you doing? [06:16] windows: playing a game [06:16] linux: which one? [06:16] windows: all of them [06:17] drivetrax, vlc only records web streams, i dont listen to streams nor do i have interest in ripping streams, its ilegal. [06:17] ianlui what folder are you trying to share? are you the owner? [06:17] drivetrax, okay i'm gunna try something different but i need help... you know how if you set the screen resolution down and you're left with a box that follows the mouse around the "virtual desktop"? [06:17] cool, the update icon was changed [06:17] is there any way to reduce the size of that "virtual desktop" [06:17] koshari: I am trying to share a folder I created in my home folder.. [06:17] lvm2+luksformat ++ [06:17] what are the permissions? [06:17] secret901: OSS is basically a really simple way for programs to access the soundcard, which essentially involves them directly writing the sound data to a "file" called /dev/dsp, where it's sent to the soundcard. The downside is that with OSS, only one program can use the soundcard at a time. padsp makes PulseAudio run the program, but whenever the program tries to access /dev/dsp, it basically intercepts whatever it's doing and makes it work within Pulse [06:18] matt___, -- i only had a blue box in the center of my screen.. before low-res set-in [06:18] its the Public folder [06:18]  I have ATI XPRESS 200 on board graphics. After installing Hardy and installing restricted drivers, Compiz used to work fine all these days, but now I was trying some screenlets and all of a sudden Desktop Effects are disabled, when I try to set it to Extras in System->Preferences->Appearance, it says Desktop Effects could not be enabled, I donno what went wrong. Also I ran compiz-switch sometime during the process of experimenting with screenlets.Plea [06:18] Question: I just upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 - 8.04, for some reason firefox crashes often (seems to be when im loading multimedia stuff like video or music), how do I fix this? [06:18] drivetrax oh okay i see [06:18] cdm10: seems to play fine [06:18] drwxr-xr-x 2 ian ian 4096 2008-05-09 02:07 Public [06:18] crdlb: and even the 24-bit depth is ok? could swear it was 32 [06:18] TheMaverick`: hi! [06:18] secret901: if you want, you can edit the menu entry for vlc to change it to "padsp vlc" so you don't have to run that command every time. [06:18] cdm10: hi! [06:19] hello [06:19] Tux2K8: hi! [06:19] Matt [06:19] madrazr: run compiz-switch again?? it toggles compiz on/off [06:19] ian do you anly want to share it as read only [06:19] Rat409: hi! [06:19] koshari: hi! [06:19] Slayeth: hi! [06:19] madrazr, - be cool.. and it will work again, hang on [06:19] what type of video card do you have? [06:19] drivetrax: hi! [06:19] Slayeth: hi! [06:19] hi! [06:19] drivetrax: hi! [06:19] I wanted to share as writable [06:19] holy crap... I was using a repo server closer to me(for speed)... guess it's a bit behind on hardy updates... checked the main server and it said there's 509 of them... [06:19] is there anyway to install the nvidia (official one's , from their site) drivers manually without using envy???? (i mean is there a guide) [06:19] TheMaverick`: 24 is the maximum [06:20] Tux2K8: Is there a problem with the ones Ubuntu supplies in its repositories? [06:20] cdm10: that seems inconvenient [06:20] cdm10: thanks though [06:20] Mattycoze what type of video card do you have? [06:20] secret901: no, the point is to change the menu entry, which you only have to do once [06:20] Tux2K8 : ues, it doesnt report the cards temps, doesnt have the nvidia control panel [06:20] secret901: it's quite easy, and you won't have to run padsp vlc manually each time, 'cause it'll be built into the menu entry. [06:20] use = yes [06:20] Rat409: drivetrax: I tried running compiz-switch again but no use [06:20] madrazr, -- with the restricted drivers .. was there ever the extended Custome desktop that compiz gives you? [06:21] Tux2K8: It looks like you can install a package for nvidia-settings [06:21] drivetrax: I did not get you [06:21] what was the command to force architecture ? [06:21] cdm10: wouldn't I have to change everywhere there's a shortcut to vlc? [06:21] madrazr, did you ever notice if the compiz worked with the restricted drivers? [06:21] cdm10 : I didnt know that, and it will cooperate with the drivers that are in the repositories? [06:21] Hey, sorry about "dav7_" before... that was a quick test for some friends, I accidentally forgot to comment a line of code out before I connected it. [06:21] secret901: how many shortcuts to VLC do you have? [06:21] :oops: [06:21] ian may i im you? [06:21] drivetrax: it was working some 15 mins back [06:22] before I played with screenlets [06:22] cdm10: probably no more than 2 [06:22] drivetrax: on retricted driver [06:22] madrazr: pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace' please [06:22] secret901: well, you can change 'em easily... and once you change it there, I'm fairly sure it'll also change what it opens files with. [06:22] madrazr, have you restarted X? [06:22] ctrl. alt bkspc [06:22] Tux2K8: just sudo aptitude install nvidia-settings [06:22] can i install ubuntu from a flash drive? === bill_ is now known as Roast [06:22] drivetrax: I tried restarting the system itself, [06:22] whoah, what happened to ubotu? [06:22] !ping [06:22] ping yourself ;-) really the diodes all down my left side are sore [06:22] crdlb: just a min will paste [06:22] cdm10: when I double-click on a video, they usually open with VLC [06:23] cdm10: I'm not sure it'd use that command [06:23] secret901: Well, you could try it, and if it doesn't work, I can help you change what it uses to open it. [06:23] ohhh [06:23] I did it! [06:23] crdlb: should lines 45 and 63 be there? And what are the sections with "#" after them? [06:23] How can I record the sound that I HEAR not that I SPEAK ? tia [06:24] !usb | kraypius [06:24] kraypius: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [06:24] madrazr, okay... well, I do not know if you want to do this, ask around.. but.. to get the effects... they had to remove my restricted driver... and the one I got from ati-website, and remove all fglrx.. then rebooted to be sure my video monitor and drivers were listed correctly in xorg.conf.. then.. it all worked [06:24] Thanks! [06:24] TheMaverick`: the # just comments the rest of the line, so that # isn't doing anything (since the rest of the line is blank) [06:24] cdm10: ok, thanks [06:25] secret901: I actually have to go now, sorry [06:25] anybody know where to get/how to install realtek HD audio drivers on 8.04? I have no sound at all [06:25] drivetrax: it was working fine with the restricted drivers that Hardy provided immediately after install [06:25] cdm10: ok [06:25] crdlb: I'm just worried that there's extra junk in the file that shouldn't be there, but we'll see... reboot time [06:25] crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11061/ [06:25] madrazr, what you may need to do is pastebin... your /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and let folks look over them [06:26] TheMaverick`: ok, do kill that Modeline [06:26] Question: I just upgraded from Ubuntu 7.10 - 8.04, for some reason firefox crashes often (seems to be when im loading multimedia stuff like video or music), how do I fix this? [06:26] WTF... where did my back button go on Firefox? [06:26] crdlb: ok, i figured it wasn't needed [06:26] norty, downgrade FireFox? [06:26] what version of firefox do u have? [06:26] firefox3 beta 5 [06:27] norty, -- get FlashPlayer_9 from the flash website? [06:27] go to beta 4 [06:27] drivetrax: this is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/11062/ [06:27] crdlb: line 63 is ok to leave? [06:27] stupid retarded firefox 3 [06:27] crdlb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11061/ is the compiz --replace output [06:27] howdy. say i switched b/w debian and ubuntu, and instaleld the same # of packages, will i expect any speed differences? Does Ubuntu use preloader, and/or anything else? [06:27] Good Morning, EverybodyC! [06:27] What does "enable roaming mode" mean in the network settingd dialoge? [06:27] no google toobar, no tabmix plus, tried to hide the back button... and doesn't display websites right... [06:27] How can I record the sound that I HEAR not that I SPEAK ? [06:28] Mimi: how do you HEAR it? [06:28] seriously... did they TEST this piece of shit before putting it into Hardy? [06:28] drivetrax, yes i got flash player 9 [06:28] crdlb: my xorg.conf has a heck of a lot more stuff than http://paste.ubuntu.com/11062/ [06:28] ootput, Ummm... Sounds that my computer is playing. Games, music, cartoons, friends talking on MSN, whatever [06:28] Mimi: if you've any electrical skills, get a cable that runs from line in, to line out. [06:28] ah [06:28] Can't afford cable and tools :) [06:29] madrazr, -- this is my pastebin.. clean, after fix.. [06:29] Joe__: it'll eventually be upgraded to the final version of firefox 3 after it;s released. There should be fewer problems once it's fully released [06:29] madrazr, http://pastebin.ca/1005812 [06:29] Plus this is a laptop, I dont have linein and lineout ootput [06:29] TheMaverick`: but none of it is being used, and removing 63 would cause total failure [06:29] starnestommy: Perhaps putting it into Hardy AFTER the final release of firefox 3 would have been a good idea... [06:30] Joe__: that would violate the update policy, iirc [06:30] mimi change the input in your mixer [06:30] drivetrax: the whole problem here is we both use different cards, my card is always troublesome. So I never used to use Compiz on Gutsy, but it all worked well with Hardy [06:30] madrazr, -- I see some differences.. [06:30] and I'm probably going to avoid Hardy for another couple months, anyway [06:30] koshari, ... how do I do that? Not too sure what you mean [06:30] drivetrax: I dont think these two drivers match [06:31] starnestommy I would have rather stuck with ff2 for the next 6 months until another Ubuntu update and ff3 was out of beta [06:31] madrz try help from #compiz-Fusion. find 'Curs0r' [06:31] madrazr: sorry, got distracted [06:31] crdlb: i'll try rebooting, we'll see what happens [06:31] mimi double click on the volume control to bring up the mixer [06:31] madrazr: disable metacity's composite manager [06:31] Ollie: try looking here or at realtek's website http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/211089/realtek-alc650-alc655-ac97-audio-driver-a2.3-for-linux-free-download.html [06:31] crdlb: how? command please? [06:31] Ok koshari [06:31] yeah.. they had to disable metacity on mine [06:32] drivetrax: how? [06:32] madrazr: gconf-editor, in /apps/metacity [06:32] Hey, I'm trying to install the 169.12 NVIDIA driver on 8.04 for a 7900GS; It installs correctly and it can be up and running but I cannot, for the life of me, get my x settings to retain after reboot [06:32] please tell me [06:32] madrazr: you enabled it manually in the first place :) [06:32] Ollie: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx [06:32] some screen applet enabled it.. [06:32] crdlb: probably yes, I was playing with something similar in screenlets [06:32] koshari, I see "Input Source" And I have 2 options. Mic and Front Mic .... [06:32] drivetrax: exactly [06:33] are there any internet browsers for linux that support mouse gestures and have tabs ? [06:33] ShadowAp3x: sudo nvidia-settings with root perms its sticks [06:33] mimi x out the source you DONT want and select the source you DO want then use [06:33] #help [06:33] Virtue Firefox does via an add-on(the gestures) [06:33] Virtue, ..... Opera. [06:33] virtue, not sure if it works in ff3 yet though... odds are it doesn't [06:33] thanks a lot people [06:33] Rat409: I've done that but even then it still won't retain the settings; X will refuse to start after reboot [06:33] crdlb: thanks a lot [06:33] drivetrax: thank you [06:33] it worked [06:34] koshari, ... i dont know what they mean thoguh... theres Capture and Digital under the RECORDING tab, and those [06:34] Joe__, thanks for info [06:34] ShadowAp3x: dunno but i'd run sudo nvidia-xconfig again then [06:35] Mimi, I forgot to ூyஜா except opera ^^ [06:35] to type* [06:35] hey and all of you, I have this unusual problem, and I am sorry I reported a bug without asking here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/227886/ [06:35] Launchpad bug 227886 in ubuntu "DVD writing takes more than an hour with any DVD, set to any speed in both Brasero and Gnomebaker" [Undecided,New] [06:35] mimi all systems sound setups are different, you will need to play round with your settings , you will ned an application to record as well [06:35] its so painful I had to install on another partition just for CD/DVD writing [06:35] koshari, do you know what Capture and Digital ... "channels?" are? [06:36] Rat409: I downloaded realtek-linux-audiopack-5.01.tar.bz2, extracted it, and ran sudo ./install - it went on for a while, and then came up with an error "Make[2]: *** [ja.gmo] Error 1" [06:36] then there were some more errors after that [06:36] *I had to install Winblow$ on another partition [06:36] koshari, i read the help files but they look very very outdated.... [06:36] I have repository entries for a 'web' repo in my sources.list (ie. deb xxxx.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted web). Whenever I try to update my package information, it fails on these web entries. I have no idea where they came from as I haven't edited this file manually (just been using synaptic). Would I be correct in assuming they should not be there, and remove the word 'web'? [06:36] mimi what application are you recording with ? [06:37] Is anyone having trouble playing flash videos in ubuntu 8.04? [06:37] koshari, this is in volume control like you told me [06:37] I have the macromedia plugin instaled [06:37] jaybrog: what sort of trouble? [06:37] ice_nine: are you remembering the http:// or the ftp:// in the urls? [06:37] Ollie: try alsa,org and see what it says for your soundchip. i don't have realtek here,but most are supported bt default kernel,just need to know module to load [06:37] howdy. say i switched b/w debian and ubuntu, and instaleld the same # of packages, will i expect any speed differences? Does Ubuntu use preloader, and/or anything else? [06:37] crdlb: it's still fubar [06:38] mimi the mixer (via vol control ) only pipes the audio around, you will still need an application to record the stream [06:38] madrazr, well if I go to youtube for instance, there is a blank space where the videos should be [06:38] something like audacity [06:38] TheMaverick`: failsafe mode again? [06:38] ootput: it depends, FYI, preload isnt installed by default in ubuntu [06:38] jaybrog: which flash-plugin you installed and how did you install? [06:38] Mimi, - have you ever used a full track recording software? [06:38] koshari, yes I know, the only application that looks simple enoguh for me to use is Sound Recorder, but as I was saying I need to understand what Capture and Digital means, so I know which "channel" I need to use to record, no? [06:38] Starnestommy: Yeah, the full URL is 'deb http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted web' [06:38] I get a screen with an arrow [06:39] ice_nine: the web repository might not exist [06:39] jaybrog: when I click on an arrow it starts playing the video [06:39] drivetrax, I dont want to edit, mix, or whatever, I just want to record and save, thats all. nothing professional.... [06:39] madrazr, sudo apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree [06:39] mimi iam not sure but i would expect digital would be piping from the spdif bus on your sound hardware. [06:39] madrazr: did you install gnash? just install the nonfree [06:39] anyone having issues with gdesklets in Hardy? [06:39] Ali_ix: do you know of any similar mechanisms that are implemented in a vanilla install? [06:39] mimi eg optical or coaxual input [06:39] HangukMiguk_, how do I remove gnash? [06:40] jaybrog: sudo aptitude remove gnash [06:40] Starnestommy: That was my guess, though it just seemed like a weird thing to appear out of nowhere. [06:40] ootput: no. [06:40] HangukMiguk_: I installed the 1st one that FireFox prompts, I like this way a lot. By having such a great flash plugin I can avoid all unwanted flash ads thus saving my bandwidth, I am on a limited usage connection [06:40] Mimi, select line-In [06:40] HangukMiguk_, Thank you! [06:40] koshari, I have no idea what that means..... *faints* xD!! Okay [06:40] drivetrax, theres no such thing. [06:41] ootput: the most populars are preload and prelink, but as i tested, they wont make a HUGE boost to your performance [06:41] Mimi, in the sound recorder on the tab that says "Switches" there are three selections.. [06:41] drivetrax, im not trying to record from an external hardware, like a mixer table... eek, i just want to download waht my computer is playing: buddies chatting on MSN or skype (we run karaoke in skype lol ) [06:41] Mimi, Line-In [06:41] HangukMiguk_, i restarted firefox and the same issue occurred [06:41] drivetrax, theres not Switches in Sound Recorder..... [06:42] mimi can you select mix as your input device in sound recorder? [06:42] Mimi, okay okay.. we will hook up your internal sound to the Line-In [06:42] madrarz: gnash pretty much locked up my computer on youtube, i had to install the nonfree for videos to play right [06:42] jaybrog: one sec [06:42] HangukMiguk_, ok :) [06:42] koshari, well there's Capture Mux (Yes, MUX) ... but when i go to volume control it Capture Mux is in Playback, not Recording tab [06:42] mimi you dont need to use the line in if the signal is playing on your system already , thats what the mixer is for, === scizzo- is now known as scizzo [06:43] drivetrax, im on a laptop, I dont have a line-in plug on it [06:43] crdlb: failsafe mode? [06:43] HangukMiguk_: I dont think its gnash, its some new plugin [06:43] Mimi, -- I have the Gstreamer.. and it puts some changes into your computer, this may be why.. I have these things.. do you have the Gstreamer packages? [06:43] madrazr: probably not gnash itself, just the moz plugin === scizzo is now known as scizzo- [06:44] drivetrax, I dont know, how is that relevant though ? (Not being mean, just trying to understand lol ) [06:44] TheMaverick`: 640x480, etc [06:44] Gstreamer and some other things let you use MP3 [06:44] HangukMiguk_: ok [06:44] update broke my wifi: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg - booted 24-12 is still working. anyone know what's up? [06:44] crdlb: yes, threw up the same error, brought me to a GNOME login screen, etc [06:45] drivetrax, I'm okay with saving as .ogg [06:45] jaybrog: sudo aptitude remove mozilla-plugin-gnash && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [06:45] hi CarlFK [06:45] hey olrrai [06:45] still, we need to get the on-board sound device to send to your line-in.. and, I am surprised there is no line-in on your laptop [06:45] i actually think i left gnash on my system to have an external flash player, just in case [06:45] mimi have you tried any of the inputs in sound recorder? [06:45] people any of you have idea of whats the problem with my CD/DVD writing application? This is the problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/227886/ [06:45] Launchpad bug 227886 in ubuntu "DVD writing takes more than an hour with any DVD, set to any speed in both Brasero and Gnomebaker" [Undecided,New] [06:45] is really neccesary the bonobo-activation-server? [06:46] TheMaverick`: I'm not sure what's wrong :/ Putting Driver back to "ati" should make it work at full resolution again, though [06:46] HangukMiguk_, thanks very much :) [06:46] hi [06:46] jaybrog: anytime [06:46] Heya koshari , in sound recorder, if i try to use capture mux or digital it crashes [06:46] Why does get-edid not print screen dimensions? See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/212715/ Although Wikipedia says that EDID includes display size. [06:46] crdlb: is there any way to just revert xorg.conf back to how it was before all of this? [06:46] mimi what other options do you have?/ [06:46] koshari, if I use Capture (not mux) it doesnt crash, and it records, but i hear static as if was my mic detecting random sounds) [06:47] koshari, those are the only 3 [06:47] TheMaverick`: uh, it's not all that different [06:47] static.. line-noise.. from the laptop [06:47] TheMaverick`: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' should do it though [06:47] HangukMiguk_, same thing :( [06:47] mimi ok stick with the capture setting, and open the mixer and look for the mic slider and turn it down or mut it and try again [06:48] Mimi, -- when you record the desktop audio.. you may have a low-level static appearring on any wavelength.. a low-level 'hiss' or static.. from the various hardware in the pc [06:48] k, so im on ubuntu 8.04 and i installed package kubuntu-desktop, it installed a whole buncha packages, how do i remove them all now? [06:48] i dont like kde anymore, lol [06:48] crdlb: I'll try that [06:49] mimi in the mixer i would imagine it will be the pcm challel you will be wanting to record [06:49] koshari, there's no mic slider. Theres : TAB:Playback:Sliders: Master, PCM, Capture Mux. TAB:Recording:Sliders:Capture, Digital. TAB: Options: Input Source: Mic or Front Mic (no sliders for either) [06:49] crdlb: rebooting, we'll see how it goes [06:49] wow.. that is different htan mine [06:50] jaybrog, run firefox through terminal, see what pastebin what spits out [06:50] mimi: yes there is, it's one of the default sliders [06:50] bonjour a toutes et tous [06:50] patifa, i have bad vision but im not blind. tyvm [06:50] i meant pastebin what spits out [06:50] I have a problem when restart the Xorg, need to kill bonobo-activation-server to init a session again, is bonobo neccesary? [06:50] patifa: i tried conky, and although it's a nice little app, (very good on resources too) it takes some scripting to get it where you want it and to look a bit better. [06:50] mimi are you using the alsa mixer in the "device" settings? [06:50] koshari, PCM mmmm okay, so I ... there's only a mute button for it, and if I mute it, I can no longer hear anything on my computer. its like that, right? [06:50] let me check koshari [06:50] !fr | mike [06:50] mike: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [06:51] Mimi, -- you found it!!!!! [06:51] un-mute it [06:51] record it [06:51] beaucoup [06:51] drivetrax, ... it was unmuted in the first place.... -__- [06:51] hello im new to linux in general, i continually see people refer to storing the /home directory on a hard disk other than the one the operating system is stored on, how can i link a remote home directory to /home? [06:51] yes.. ok, but.. you will hear low-level noise from the pc.. that way [06:51] mimi if so X out all the devices except for the master and pcm sliders and give it another try. [06:52] koshari, yes, its alsa (i went to Preferences/Sound [06:52] hi [06:52] oi [06:52] ! [06:52] HangukMiguk_, swfdec? [06:53] ps -ef [06:53] anyone have issues of gdesklets not starting up in hardy? [06:53] koshari, Mmmm... Ok. I X out everything except Master and PCM. so when I go to sound recorder, what will I pick under Record From Input? :P [06:53] jaybrog: what about swfdec? [06:53] hi, how can i extract an iso file without mounting it? [06:53] hossam: the easiest way to do it is to have your hard drives attached to the computer at install and set it up then [06:53] I am having problems mounting an NTFS External HDD [06:53] HangukMiguk_, I read a lil on it, is this installed with flashplugin-nonfree? [06:53] mimi pick the one that didnt crash and made the noise [06:54] rodrigth: i have an identical hard drive installed and ready to go [06:54] Can anybody help me with mounting an HDD [06:54] jaybrog: most likely [06:54] koshari, it was Capture. But I muted it, remember? Now it makes no noise at all [06:54] rodrigth: just not sure on what commands to run [06:54] HangukMiguk_, "Because Adobe’s Flash player can not be redistributed in the default Ubuntu installation, a choice of players are offered when you visit a page in Firefox with Flash content. There are three options in Ubuntu 8.04: Adobe Flash, Swfdec (new to this version), and Gnash." [06:54] I get this error when i do something in the teminal [06:54] mimi hopefully by muting the other things your not using it will elleviate the noise [06:54] SIOCSIFADDR: Permission denied [06:54] SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied [06:54] killtacular: windows drive? [06:54] hello, Im trying to compile Pidgin 2.4.1 on Ubuntu 7.04, I have installed all the necessary dependencies it requires to confiure and make itself yet I get stuck with an error while executing make install [06:54] mimi unmute the pcm and master sliders [06:54] hossam: cmds to do what ? ? [06:54] hossam: now, you are using both for linux? and want one to have /home and one to have root / with all the OS stuff? [06:54] HangukMiguk_, I chose the wrong plugin from the beginning [06:55] yeah an ubuntu 8.04 [06:55] in* [06:55] koshari, they ARE unmuted, but in sound recorded I MUST select a source, and the one that doesntt crash is Capture, which you have told me to mute :p [06:55] jaybrog: try swfdec then? [06:55] rodrigth: that is correct, is that a more wise solution? or is the default configuration optimal [06:55] on gutsy, so i still don't know the repo for hardy [06:55] the error I get while executing make install is:- libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../..//libxml2.la' seems to be moved [06:55] koshari, so if I go and select capture as input, it automatically unmutes it. [06:55] mimi ok select capture [06:55] HangukMiguk_, thanks for all the help, I got it now :) [06:56] in that case it records but theres no music/etc [06:56] bye everyone [06:56] jaybrog: welcome [06:56] killtacular: dmesg | grep hd [06:56] pastebin the printout [06:56] mimi so is it working, press record and let it run for a few seconds [06:56] hossam: yes, you would get better performance this way. do you already have linux installed and then you bought a new drive and plugged it in? [06:56] anyone please? [06:57] later all. patifa, thanks for your help earlier on. i appreciate it. [06:57] rodrigth: that is correct [06:57] koshari, yes i have, but when i fnish and tell it to play, nothing was recorded,,, [06:57] OMG - Im listening to the TV in th othr room and John Carmack is dead. Wait, gimme a sec.. [06:57] crdlb: everything seems to be back to normal now [06:57] can anybody run me through the steps of mounting an ext. hdd. [06:57] Ferarri [06:57] ???

[06:59] crdlb: Any idea why the main repo server is trying to tell me to do a partial distro upgrade when I already did a full one without any errors(during the upgrade at least) [06:59] how do I load sim on card reader [06:59] rodrigth: should u be using an ln -s command? ln -sf? im not sure [06:59] mimi remeber sound recorder will only point to your mixer and in your case the mixer is "capture" then in the mixer you select the source [07:00] hossam: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Add_a_new_hard_drive [07:00] rinovan a SIM card on a card reader? [07:00] rinovan that's impossible [07:00] koshari, could you explain "then in the mixer you select the source" ? [07:00] TheMaverick`: I have no idea why it isn't working, and ubuntu makes it really hard to debug. Also, I need to get to bed [07:00] mimi, sorry i cant be of any more help i gotta get some sleep before night shift [07:00] Alright, thank you :) [07:01] mimi, yes the mixer is alsa mixer [07:01] Joe__: because you have some out-of-date packages? I'm not sure [07:01] hossam: that should help, i was going to tell it to you here, but its easier to show you that ;) [07:01] anyone know fo a good gps reciever for ubuntu?

Looks like the proprietary drivers got wacked ... anyone have an idea on how to fix this? [07:03] !sound [07:03] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [07:03] !wireless [07:03] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:03] rodrigth: thank you very much [07:03] does anyone know to -use- the "ATI binary X.Org driver" after applying it in [Add/Remove Applications]? [07:04] how* [07:04] Clicking on the volume control results in a one-time error message (it doesn't reappear next time I click it) ... it indicates that the device is missing ... which seems to fit with the idea that the drivers got killed. [07:04] TheMaverick' dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?

[07:13] I've also posted the output of fdisk -l on the link. [07:13] is there any CTRL+ALT+Delete alternative on ubuntu? [07:13] yeah, two seconds. [07:14] killtacular, unfortunately the output you posted does not help us, but thats ok, we can still help you [07:14] how do I move 2 files simultaneousely ? to 1 folder [07:14] *sigh* [07:14] Trikdo, you need a virtual machine tools such as virtualbox [07:14] yits - ctrl -alt - backspace [07:14] killtacular, you didnt execute the commands right, there are two:- sudo fdisk -l and cat /etc/mtab [07:14] lol [07:14] just submitted.

[07:15] or GUI? [07:15] mv [07:15] drivetax: ctrl-alt backspace kills the xserver [07:15] console [07:15] already did, I believe. [07:15] ForLuck, I know... Does OS X run on that? [07:15] Thank you [07:15] hey [07:15] my .gvfs is a file and not a folder [07:15] how i can make it a folder? [07:15] Virtue: depends on the name of two files e.g. mv nemo* /newplace/. [07:15] yes [07:16] virtuald, from the file manager.. right click.. and hover to capture just the two files...select copy and drag to the new place/folder [07:16] nice buttons [07:16] pramod, quick question : wich system logger is the best (for ubuntu) there are 2 : sysklogd en klogd, probably sysklogd for ubuntu? because klogd is a kde based app? [07:16] hey how can i extract iso files without having to mount them? [07:16] killtacular, i posted what you need to do on the forums [07:16] microwaver, klog is a keyboard logger [07:16] drivetax: this will cause you to lose all your work! instead, if you have gnome, then run these two commands in terminal : (use sudo) [07:16] gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_9 "Delete" [07:16] gconftool-2 -t str --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_9 "gnome-system-monitor" [07:16] thanks!

[07:17] wait [07:17] let me edit [07:17] Virtue: I would think that mv (file1) (newlocation/file1) && mv (file2) (newlocation/file2) would work [07:17] i wrote something wrong [07:17] microwaver, klogd is a keyboard logger [07:17] that will bring up gnome system monitor (sry 4 multiline) [07:17] fixed [07:17] killtacular, you still didnt post the outputs of the commands [07:17] IcemanV9, how do I connect them? do I need to write 2 filepaths with + and then destination folder ? :] [07:17] i added music to my amarok from winxp partition. do i have to always mount the media before i start the application? [07:17] pramod, they both give the same explenation [07:17] I posted them in the ubuntuforums.org [07:17] windows doesn't KEEP.. anything if you ctrl alt del [07:18] killtacular, yep, I see them, sorry [07:18] hi all... does anyone here use fluxbox and know how to make videos fullscreen? the dock and the slit stay above the video on VLC when i do fullscreen [07:18] oh, && [07:18] HangukMiguk_, I dont think he has ntfs 3g installed otherwise the drive would mount just fine [07:18] like if you didnt do it, your library is empty [07:18] microwaver, Im not so sure about the differentces [07:18] whats the command to mount in terminal? [07:18] yit4s, yes ofcourse [07:18] mount [07:18] microwaver, better keep them enabled [07:18] Virtue: I think that's how it's done, i could be wrong [07:18] yit4s, yes ofcourse. if the drive isnt mounted, how is the player going to know where the files are? [07:18] pramod, thought that yeah, but because ther're 2 [07:18] TheMaverick`, thanks I'll try :] [07:19] Virtue: two filepaths? e.g cp nemo* /newpath/.; cp nemo* /anotherpath/. [07:19] Virtue: k, lemme know how it works out [07:19] Virtue: not sure if that's what you're looking for [07:19] HangukMiguk you put hdd instead of sdb1 [07:19] mimi: you only have to open the drive on Places and it's killing me!

[07:21] yes, but in windows, ctrl+alt+del brings up task monitor [07:21] killtacular :- sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/external -o force [07:21] can anyone tell me what max speed uses b43 wireless pls?? [07:21] do that [07:21] mimi: partition on internal hard drive. i use the "Install on Windows" option kinda thing to install ubuntu [07:21] thanks.

[07:21] mimi: like you can unistall from windows' control panel [07:22] serif: wireless a is 11Mbits/sec, wireless b is the same, and wireless g is 54 Mbits/sec [07:22] yit4s, oh you used wubi.. :( Im sorry I havent used wubi yet, Im not sure how it would work out from there :( [07:22] hey, im running ubuntu server... how do i setup a printer? (hp 5608)? [07:22] Virtue: either mine or TheMaverick` should work [07:22] mimi: wubi?? what is that? i'm using hardy heron by the way [07:22] fotoflo, #ubuntu-server [07:22] results: fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/external: No such file or directory [07:22] sorry, guys, what does the word 'kinda' mean??

[07:23] killtacular the drive mounted? [07:23] Yes, thanks pramod [07:24] ubottu: oh ok. i used that to install ubuntu [07:24] killtacular you probably had an unclean mount [07:24] killtacular that can cause automount problem [07:24] serif: b is 11, but further range, g is a combination of a and b [07:24] you still need the alternate install ISO burnt to disk? for Wubi? [07:24] killtacular automount should now work [07:24] I've been having problems with improper shutdowns. [07:24] uninstalling ubuntu took about 30 seconds to finish [07:24] lol [07:24] kiiltacular that explains it [07:24] on wubi [07:25] oops [07:25] killtacular that explains it [07:25] I have to manually chkdsk on reboot with improper shutdown on my other pc [07:25] yit4s, i see... i think your problem is actually easy, let me see: can you mount the drive you have the music in, and then type sudo mount in a terminal ... and pastebin me the output [07:25] pramod: how do i automount my other partition so that i can access my music automatically? [07:25] yit4s, give me a minute please [07:25] ok [07:25] killtacular, the command "shutdown -h now" does not do it for you? [07:25] killtacular, you can run ntfs-fix on the drive [07:26] TheMaverick`, IcemanV9 it's even easier - mv file1 file2 /dir :]] [07:26] is the proprietary rar package from synaptic a gtk frontend or GUI? [07:26] pramod, theres no hifen on that command [07:26] yit4s, you need to add the entry to fstab [07:26] mimi: can you actually explain what is mount... i'm a total newbie to ubuntu [07:26] mimi what command? [07:26] Why does get-edid not print screen dimensions? See http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/212715/ Although Wikipedia says that EDID includes display size. [07:26] are you suggesting that the drive is corrupt? [07:26] ntfsfix pramod [07:26] Virtue: I wasn't sure if that worked, but cheers since it did :) [07:26] oops [07:26] mimi, thanks [07:26] babolat, wouldn't know but gtk is the tool for creating gui tools ;-) [07:26] :] [07:26] Mimi, thanks [07:26] Virtue: terrific! [07:27] mimi: what is fstab? [07:27] killtacular, not ntfs-fix, ntfsfix [07:27] yes yit4s what mount will do is show you which partitions are mounted. I ask for the output because I want to know which drive is your music drive, so we can automount it [07:27] yit4s it automatically mounts internal drives/partitions at boot [07:27] i will tell you in a sec yit4s , can you give me the output so we can move on to the next step? :) [07:27] ok [07:27] pramod, well obvisouly its not mounting at boot for her/him . i had the same problem. [07:28] Mimi, are you the administator here? [07:28] ForLuck, Eek, no I'm not! :P [07:28] ompaul, i stand corrected.. sit rather.. u know of an app that i could use automated splitting of archives? [07:28] Mimi, mounting a drive at boot especially at bootup is something with either the drive or with fstab [07:28] :-D [07:28] Mimi, meant an internal drive [07:28] !pastebin | yit4s [07:28] yit4s: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[07:30] I'm back [07:30] yit4s, okay, can you do gksu gedit /et/fstab (DONT make any changes to that file ) and paste it to me?

I have specified a line "shashi ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers file. But it is still asking for password. any one tell me how to solve this issue ? [07:32] mimi: then what do i do now? i did the sudo mount so far. should i just restart anotehr terminal? [07:32] shashi, sudo -i ? it will only ask for password once [07:32] Mimi, according to the mount command, all drives or partitions mount, I dont see how that can be a problem with a line [07:33] pramod, you have a problem with me trying to help? I'm telling you I had the same problem earlier, but really, if you really want me to stop helping, go ahead and help. Just give the word.

I'm trying to find out where this patch is developed? Some repository I assume (where it's splitted into smaller logical chunks). Does anyone know where such repository can be? [07:40] Sigh...the Hardy switch has been a painful one, I must say...I've been sitting tight waiting for some sort of news or a fix in the updates. [07:40] yit4s, I never faced anything like that [07:40] yit4s, except during testing [07:40] pramod: Thanks. Hopefully it will happen again and I can test it and submit a good bug report.

[07:58] erpo, possibly not [07:58] ?* [07:58] though? [07:58] fooks: You need a composite manager. Compiz fusion is the best composite manager.

[08:37] mohan34u: thats not sound advice [08:37] ikonia: what to say? [08:37] I don't want 1.6, I want one that actually works when i tell it to boot up the VM [08:37] and with this one, that I got from the repository, it won't... it says: [08:37] mohan34u: I said thats not sound advice to give someone to just blindly run those commands [08:37] Ollie: You had issues with vboxdrv before? It is fixed today. [08:37] hmm [08:37] "VirtualBox kernel driver not installed" [08:37] ok thanks mohan34u [08:38] Ollie: yes... it's fixed... try again.

[08:38] I downloaded virtualbox 30 minutes ago... they fixed it in the last 30 minutes? [08:38] after all I am also a beginner.. [08:38] mohan34u: you can remove/replace/upgrade/switch between versions of ./configure make make installed software without the normal fuckery [08:38] Ollie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ... then log out and back in, and try virtualbox again [08:38] I wonder why Linux is still so easy to kill ;( [08:38] mohan34u: not at all, just think about what your telling someone to do, those commands can be very dangerous to a system [08:38] s/fuc/duc [08:38] Ollie: (loading the vm...) [08:38] cast: that language needs to stop pleas.e [08:39] Ollie: if you are using the vbox from repositories, there is a package for kernel driver [08:39] i had forgotten about ubuntu rules :( [08:39] need help with simple bash scripting. I need to echo an output than wait 1 sec, than print another output than 1 sec and so on, but it has to be on the same line. I trying this but obviously it's not working: echo "this is a test ." sleep 1 echo "." [08:39] Ali_ix: his issue is fixed, he just needs to upgrade. [08:39] Hi Guys....... whheez.... Is it okay that my root Partition is only 3 GB? my swap is around 256 MB and the other memory is for my files? is it okay? [08:39] Hi to all; I have a problrm with my ALSA. Mplayer and other software, after i have installed Ubuntu 8.04, doesn't work fine. IE Mplayer says always [AO_ALSA] Mixer load error. No such file or directory. I try to reinstall all ALSA-base and other stuff with Synaptic but nothing changes. I also saw that in my volume manager I can't modify my input. I have also OSS but it doesn't work fine too! [08:39] what is it called? [08:39] ikonia: so what will you suggest? [08:39] !resolution | olskolirc [08:39] Ollie: do what I told you please. [08:39] Ollie: if you are using the vbox provided in their site (virtualbox.org) you should use this command: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" [08:39] Hi Guys....... whheez.... Is it okay that my root Partition is only 3 GB? my swap is around 256 MB and the other memory is for my files? is it okay? [08:39] mohan34u: not advising blindly typing make commands [08:39] harris: free -m, are you actually using swap? [08:39] Ollie: also ensure you're in the vboxdrv group [08:40] fde: fine, i have custom kernel so i am not aware of issues [08:40] i rily don't know.... wait.... ill try it [08:40] I mean, a simple echo command can kill my Hardy box. No redirections, no nothing, ... [08:40] harris: it will be better if it is bigger at least 5 if you have space [08:40] ikonia: student asked how to compile a tarball which he already has extracted, and we've pointed him to checkinstall, what exactly do you suggest? [08:40] i have a file in /usr/share/ubuntustudio-audio called rtprio.py and in my /etc/security/Limits.conf it has @audio - rtprio 99 what does this do exactly? [08:41] echo {0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9}{0..9} [08:41] And boom it goes. [08:41] astro76: check install is not typing "configure && make && make install" as suggested [08:41] that ubuntu security thing is just a clone of selinux [08:41] linux_user400354: no, its AppArmor [08:41] I have 60 GB hard disk the 30 Gb is for my Windows, the other 30 Gb is for Linux... I put 3 GB for my root, 256 MB swap, and the rest is for my ffiles.. [08:41] ikonia: astro76 gave the link to checkinstall previously.. [08:42] to 'student' [08:42] I have 60 GB hard disk the 30 Gb is for my Windows, the other 30 Gb is for Linux... I put 3 GB for my root, 256 MB swap, and the rest is for my ffiles.. [08:42] mohan34u: great, so then you had no need to offer random make commands to him [08:42] total used free shared buffers cached [08:42] Mem: 503 498 5 0 3 189 [08:42] -/+ buffers/cache: 304 198 [08:42] Swap: 243 38 204 [08:42] apparmor is a completely different approach to selinux, heh. [08:42] harris: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:42] linux_user400354: what "ubuntu security thing"? if you're talking about app armor it is a VERY different implementation. [08:42] Hello everyone! I Have a question about Desktop Ram. What would be faster? 2x 512mb = 1gb or 1gb RAM the timings on the Ram are 4-4-4-12 [08:42] harris : then you can make your root ~10Gb [08:42] fde: wasn't there a new security feature added in hardy? [08:43] kr00l: 2x512, but for future questions like that, #ubuntu-offtopic [08:43] linux_user400354: AppArmor... you don't know its name, but you feel the need to make sweeping statements about it? [08:43] wow.... can I stil make it 10.. without formating to protect my files from root [08:43] linux_user400354: do you mean ufw [08:43] zvacet: wow.... can I stil make it 10.. without formating to protect my files from root [08:43] kr00l: not really an uubntu question, more hardware, that information is very dependant on your hardware [08:43] Flannel why the 2x512? [08:43] kr00l: you might get good information from #hardware [08:43] kr00l: #ubuntu-offtopic [08:43] ok I did what someone suggested: I did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, restarted, no change. Still no kernel driver [08:43] exit [08:43] When I MAKE AND INSTALL THE FILE IT SAYS no targets specefied what wrong with it? [08:44] zvacet: I'd hope he means AppArmor, ufw isn't even related to SELinux ;) [08:44] student: don't shout [08:44] student: you've not compiled it properly [08:44] ikonia: but how? [08:44] student: how what ? [08:44] Ikonia: i mean how to compiled? [08:44] can I still change my root memory to bi bigger without formatting? [08:45] student: what are you trying to compile ? [08:45] harris : you need to shrink your other partition with http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [08:45] student: what are you trying to compile? have you checked to see if there is a .deb already? [08:45] harris: what do you mean by "root memory" ? [08:45] is rtprio telling my audio to put it in 99 priority? what does 99 mean high or low? [08:45] harris: root disk space? if you use lvm you can do a online resize, else you'll have to do it offline [08:45] he means the filesystem / is on probably [08:45] fde:you are right [08:46] no there is no .deb A install-sh and a configure only [08:46] student: what are ou trying to compile [08:46] harris: consider moving /home, or /usr, or /var, off / if you haven't already also. [especially /home] [08:46] cast: is lvm is a software use to resize the root disk space? [08:46] sudent: what is the program? [08:46] When I MAKE AND INSTALL THE FILE IT SAYS no targets specefied what wrong with it? [08:46] student: STOP using caps [08:46] student: you've been asked twice now [08:46] student@asbw30:~/ophcrack-3.0$ ls [08:46] aclocal.m4 config configure doc LICENSE NEWS [08:46] AUTHORS config.h.in configure.in INSTALL LICENSE.OpenSSL README [08:46] ChangeLog config.log COPYING install-sh Makefile.in src [08:46] student@asbw30:~/ophcrack-3.0$ [08:46] !repeat | student [08:46] student: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[08:46] student: listen to the questions your being asked and respond [08:47] fde: wasnt apparmor available before hardy came out? [08:47] student: What software package are you trying to compile ? [08:47] bash: MAKE: command not found, what's the MAKE commandsupposed to do? :) [08:47] student: ophcrack ? [08:47] linux_user400354: sure, it's not officially supported though... (although I don't think it's part of the default install still) [08:47] ikonia: yes [08:47] student: a windows password cracker ? [08:47] ikonia: noth [08:48] fde: nevermind what i said then [08:48] student: what ? [08:48] Ikonia: they are both [08:48] student: try 'apt-cache show john' [08:48] student: looking for help or cracks? [08:48] student: they are both what ? [08:48] harris: uh...sometimes it's used that way. i think it unlikely you use it unless you set it up in the installer [08:48] hi [08:48] ikonia: they are both for windows and linux [08:48] student: and you want a password cracker yes ? [08:48] wait cast ill install it [08:49] Y-town: yes can you help me [08:49] Hello. [08:49] Whoa, that's a lot of nicks. [08:49] student: yes I can [08:49] harris: it doesn't work like that. [08:49] student: sorry to say, if you don't evn know how to compile source, i doubt you will even be able to use the program [08:49] student: You need to go somewhere else for that crap :o) [08:49] I've managed to mess up my firefox, so that I have to type "firefox.ubuntu" to make it start. Is there a way I can do a total reinstall of FF with all Ubuntu integration? [08:49] john is about the best password cra^W recovery tool available for Linux. [08:49] ikonia: no ... i have to use it to recover my precious file [08:50] student: why can you not get your files ? [08:50] hmmmmmmmmmmm...... ok ok.... I really having problem, I need bigger root disk space [08:50] i need help on how to automount my partition [08:50] ikonia: because i forgot my password [08:50] harris: qtparted? [08:50] !gparted | harris [08:50] harris: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [08:50] hi [08:50] student: please look at the package 'john' [08:50] student: is the machine a windows machine or a linux machine ?

Version 1.6-40.3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 534 kB, installed size 1128 kB [08:51] ikonia: its a edubuntu [08:51] Hi to all; I have a problrm with my ALSA. Mplayer and other software, after i have installed Ubuntu 8.04, doesn't work fine. IE Mplayer says always [AO_ALSA] Mixer load error. No such file or directory. I try to reinstall all ALSA-base and other stuff with Synaptic but nothing changes. I also saw that in my volume manager I can't modify my input. I have also OSS but it doesn't work fine too! [08:51] Ayabara: user synaptics and mark firefox for 'complete removal' and thn instal it again [08:51] student: great, you don't need to crack your password [08:51] student: reboot your machine, and drop into "recvoery mode" [08:51] student: from there use the command passwd $username to resert your password [08:51] ikonia: realy? thanks [08:51] assumptions, assumptions ... [08:52] good morning [08:52] y-town: can you PM me? [08:52] wow Im trying to install gparted in terminal I get the "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [08:52] " message [08:52] student: you don't need y-town now [08:52] !moo [08:52] Factoid moo not found [08:52] student: you have the answer to your problem [08:52] student: how are you failing to get access to your files.. just can't log in, or did you encrypt a file somehow? [08:52] ikonia: thanks... [08:52] harris: probably there is a apt, synaptics or update manager running [08:52] awts [08:53] yahhhhh I'm intalling JDE of JAVA [08:53] When I am using Mozilla Firefox I am frequently asked to install a missing plugin (icedtea-java-7) but it's already installed and applets won't work. Should I uninstall all my Java and start again? [08:53] soorryyyy [08:53] Probably later [08:53] hey, i need help getting my printer setup on ubuntu server... #ubuntu-server is dead, so im asking here [08:53] ive just installed cups... how do i test if the printer is recognized? [08:53] harris: you can always use ONE package manager at a time, to avoid conflicts [08:53] zcat: my classmate encriypted it [08:53] I really confused about file system of Linux....( the swap, the root, etc)... i need to read first [08:53] fde: are you still here? [08:53] student: I suspect you should speak to your classmate then please [08:53] Ollie: yup [08:54] !fhs | harris [08:54] harris: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [08:54] is there any apt that can read from a NTFS partition of my hard drive? [08:54] what was your suggestion again for virtualbox, please? [08:54] ikonia: no...his my enemy now.. [08:54] daftpun1: the ntfs driver can read ntfs disk and the ntfs-3g can read-write [08:54] student: take it up with your teacher then, attempting to break passwords is not the answer [08:54] can i use CTRL+ALT+Backspace as a way to reboot my comp? [08:54] student: in that case, yes.. you probably need john.. just open a terminal and type "sudo aptitude install john" and you'll have it... in ubuntu it is very rare that you ever need to download, let alone compile, any software... [08:54] how do i enable file sharing over a wifi network ? earlier when i had windows i could make it a workgroup and share files .. i cant seem to do so in ubuntu .. could someone please guide me [08:54] student: plus it's clear your not telling the whole truth as you told me you had forgot your password [08:54] yit4s: its a really bad way to do it, since it doesn't reboot it at all. [08:55] laiya: you can use nfs or samba [08:55] Ollie: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ... when that is done, add yourself to the vboxdrv group (just sudo gedit /etc/group and add your name to the end of that line) ... then log out and back in, and virtualbox should be working. [08:55] ok ill'try that [08:55] Ali_ix: which one do you recommend ? [08:55] so what is the use of CTRL+ALT+Backspace anyway? when you;re ubuntu hangs? [08:55] hello [08:55] did you say that group membership stuff before? [08:55] hi [08:55] it kills X [08:55] ikonia and where will that disk show? in mnt/ ? [08:55] yit4s: it restarts X [08:55] laiya: samba is easier and slower, nfs is a bit complicated and faster, choose yourself [08:56] haiiii [08:56] is there a way to run windows games(like nfs, max payne etc.) on ubuntu? [08:56] Ollie: yes... but after the bulk of what I said... I forgot that you needed to at first.

After completely removing everything and then reinstalling, I still don't have the "firefox" command. All I have is firefox-3.0 and firefox.ubuntu (which I know is the same app).

[08:58] student: well, you have the answer you asked for.

[08:59] help! my t61 webcam doesnt work on ubuntu hardy :( on thinkwiki.org it says it works out of the box... ideas? [09:00] arooni__ what connection is your webcam uses? [09:00] Arooni, in which programme did yoy try? [09:00] arooni__: how do you check it? use ekiga or cheese in gnome [09:00] Ollie: glad the problem is fixed... if you'd said you wanted to run OpenSolaris or something, you wouldn't have gotten the types of responses you did, 1.6.0 basically seems to be a fix for Sun based software. [09:00] if I'm running ubuntu x64, will virtualbox work with vista x64? [09:00] Shadow420: built in (laptop) [09:00] Shadow420, dont know; its built into laptop [09:00] Ali_ix ok [09:00] alright this is getting really annoying, each time I try to open up an text document I get an error saying "The Desktop Entry File /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop has an invalid menu entry addAsPodcast" any ideas how to stop this I have no idea why this error is happening [09:00] hi. i need help with wicd. it let me connect to either wifi or wired connection fine but when for instance i'm connected to wifi and want to connect to the wired network it disconnects me from wifi and vice-versa. Which means each connection works fine alone but wicd won't connect me to both at the same time. Is there a workaround ? [09:00] whenever you see someone say something "works" in Linux, take it with a grain of salt. No on reports what, if any, effort it takes for stuff to work "out of the box" :P [09:00] try it in skype [09:00] pequatre, why do you need both [09:01] Ollie: as you may know, VirtualBox recently got acquired by Sun, but their software barely worked on Solaris... there is no other reason for 1.6.0 currently :) [09:01] it should be illegal to own a computer until you pas a basic test. kinda like getting your driving license (not saying that to anyone here personally, just saying) [09:01] cast: I created the symlink, and that actually solved everything :-) [09:01] bazhang, i want to share my wifi on lan with firestarter [09:01] LSD|Ninja: can you keep that sort of pointless comment for other channels, its false and not needed in thie channel [09:01] Ollie: Should do, yes. [09:01] pequatre, that is a bit complex; could you lay out precisely how to do that [09:01] Ollie: You might have issues getting any sort of effects though. [09:02] cast: a bit weird that "open file with ..." did not find any application alternatives before I created the symlink... [09:02] Ayabara: yay i helped someone [09:02] bazhang: what do you mean ? using firestarter it's easy to share a connection (NAT). [09:02] ikonia: That's kind a the problem. Nothing gets don and nothing gets fixed because everyone convinces themselves that it's fine and doesn't need to be fixed [09:02] Ali_ix, omz it works in ekiga [09:02] cast: you have my humble thanks :-) [09:02] LSD|Ninja: thats your opinion, please take it to a non-support channel [09:02] pequatre, so you know what to do then? okay then [09:02] arooni__: :) any chance with chees? [09:02] Ali_ix, but it doesnt work with flash & http://www.testmycam.com/ [09:02] how to disable the beeping in xchat as you type? [09:03] LSD|Ninja: then also you have to remember, there are 50 ways to do the same thing in linux (pretty much) [09:03] Ali_ix, i dont think it works iwth skype [09:03] arooni, try it in amsn [09:03] ikonia: it may be an opinion, but it's one reached after 10 years of experience [09:03] HELLO: any one can help me when i try to open the add/remove and the synaptic there is and error what should i do? [09:03] or in skype [09:03] bazhang: yes, and firestarter complains that either connection is not activated. [09:03] arooni__: so drivers are ok, [09:03] LSD|Ninja: as I said that is not appropriate as a random comment in this channel [09:03] Ali_ix: it says The samba package is not needed on clients. Install smbfs instead [09:03] Ali_ix, so it doesnt work with cheese [09:03] LSD|Ninja: I'm sure you can hire some developers to fix the issues you believe are there... otherwise they will be fixed in the order of most importance to those that are paying. [09:03] buntu, restet the computer [09:04] arooni__: are you running compiz or any other compsitings? [09:04] reset [09:04] Ali_ix, yes compiz-fusion [09:04] willem: still when i reboot it its an error also [09:04] arooni_ disable it, and it will work in cheese too [09:04] or if someone knows a way for wicd not to configure the wired connection i would set it in /etc/network/interfaces [09:04] Ali_ix, but i love my sexy window effects [09:04] LSD|Ninja: Projects like KDE even have a voting system where users can vote on bugs and wishlist items they'd like to see worked on. [09:04] ahh got it--disable the system beep [09:05] HELLO: any one can help me when i try to open the add/remove and the synaptic there is and error what should i do? a try to reboot it [09:05] but still [09:05] How long is the ubuntu on the computer? [09:05] laiya: samba is a server-client system, one o your system should install server apps and other clients, or it can be both [09:05] buntu cannot use both at same time [09:05] on your computer? [09:05] whats the equivalent of drive C(?) of windows in Linux? [09:05] fde: there's not enough input from the common user for anythign like that to ever be truly effective [09:05] whatever you make it [09:05] willem: i month [09:05] arooni__: you must choose between sexy effects or webcam :) [09:05] harris: / [09:05] harris: / (pronounced root) [09:05] !ot [09:05] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[09:06] buntu: what is error message? === Neotism is now known as N|x_x|m [09:06] LSD|Ninja: You think there is more input from users for things like Windows? Users can at least file bugs and put their feelings directly to the developer. [09:06] I think you better go to the forum of ubuntu, there are the spevcialists [09:06] buntu whats our issue? [09:06] so thats the root file..... wow! I made a mistake...... I only put a 3 GB for my root........ can someone help me... [09:06] buntu you want to use synaptic and add/remove at the same time or some other issue--please clarify [09:06] so thats the root file..... wow! I made a mistake......

See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [09:12] yit4s: these days, Gnome will mount smb shares automatically if you browse them...

[09:13] mrpockets: I can't think of anything efficient off the top of my head, but "grep -rc *.mp3 | wc -l" will do it really slow [09:14] IIIIIIIIII: the LiveCD is a normal Ubuntu simply running from the CD. [09:14] IIIIIIIIII: you can, try brasero or k3b [09:14] via cf flash cards [09:14] blame: never heard of a ISP not running a DNS service, you couldn't connect to internet without it. [09:14] yit4s: You're talking about SMB (Windows) Shares correct?

[09:18] mrpockets: Same as the 2nd command I mentioned, but you need to pipe it the line count to get it to count all the lines it spits out [09:18] Shadow420: THATS it babyyy.... Its a new partition a 28 GB ext 3... is that still okay my root is only 3 GB? [09:18] buntu did you run that command? you still need help or not [09:19] it possible to run ubuntu on a SBC ? like with fluxbox? [09:19] this is more of a curiosity rather than a problem... I have a program I want to install to ubuntu, while running ./configure (its the newest version,therefore not on getdeb or ubuntu repos yet) I run into a missing sdl error... Now, I could either fetch sdl-dev (or whatever its called) from the main repositories, but I was wondering to prevent future problems such as this from happening is there a way in which I can fetch the dev tree for that program so th [09:19] at I may be assured that all deps are fulfilled when I compile? [09:19] oops sorry, long post -_-; [09:19] my synaptic is not opening: sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/ main.cf: No such file or directory [09:19] i would like to configure a vpn network with my hardy. I find this interesting how-to: http://tipotheday.com/2008/04/29/connect-to-windows-vpn-server-pptp-with-ubuntu-hardy-heron/ but have a problem: my network-manager applet display no "VPN Connection". I display only "configure the network manually". What's the matter? [09:19] m0u5e, which app [09:19] bazhang can u finish helping harris I am falling asleep I can't think [09:19] bazhang: wesnoth 1.4.2 [09:19] anyone?? [09:19] !fstab >yit4s [09:19] bazhang: THATS it babyyy.... Its a new partition a 28 GB ext 3... is that still okay my root is only 3 GB? [09:19] m0u5e, what is the version in the repos [09:19] blame: I have a local DNS etc. setup here, I was trying to figure out what you are trying to achieve (i.e. the end result) [09:19] Shadow420: THankkss slip tyt! [09:20] anyone try sopcast? [09:20] m0u5e: ubuntu is not a source based distribution hence it does not have source based dependancy tracking. you'll have to install dependancies manually if you wnat to compile stuff on ubuntu [09:20] Shadow420, will try-->get some sleep ;] [09:20] hi, i have installed firefox-2 for , but i can't install any plugin for it ! [09:20] bazhang harris later [09:20] cya [09:20] how bout apt-build can apt-build accomplish what I need? [09:21] sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/ main.cf: No such file or directory [09:21] m0u5e, why not just install from repos [09:21] i have video rendering issues w/ mplayer n compiz... i tired this : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-video-playback-problem-in-compiz-fusion.html#comment-97189 and it only helped with totem [09:21] bazhang: repos has wesnoth 1.4-1, i need 1.4-2 [09:21] bazhang: is it okay that my root disk space is 3 GB and I have a partition of 28 GB of ext3 [09:21] IIIIIIIIII: what kind of video rendering issues? [09:21] harris how did that happen-->such a small / partition [09:21] blank screen [09:22] the link help fix totem but not mplayer [09:22] harris: 3 gb is kinda small for your root partition... [09:22] Eeepc and suspend anyone got it working? [09:22] IIIIIIIIII: did you install codecs via medibuntu? [09:22] mo [09:22] The_Dr, you might want to check #eeepc or www.eeeuser.com wiki for that [09:22] restriceted exras and the good bad ugly stanfard stuff [09:22] IIIIIIIIII: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [09:23] bazhang: heheheh sori for a newbie like me..... Im installing ubuntu yesterday and I read a 2 GB is okay. so I make it 3 GB. I thought /root is not so important, [09:23] read the section on repositories and w32codecs [09:23] bazhang : still not work......................... [09:23] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 [09:23] Factoid 1111 not found [09:23] IIIIIIIIII: it may solve your problems [09:23] bazhang: i thought its just like windows/ in drive C: hehehehhe [09:23] harris this is only one day old then? [09:23] neil_d: I believe I've made that clear already. Anyway, My ISP aren't using reverse DNS on the IP which they gave me. If you dns my IP it will return nothing. Now my question is - can I launch DNS server and have my domain name pointed at my IP address to utilize reverse dns on my domain name with the IP from ISP. [09:23] bazhang : still not work... [09:23] buntu please be patient [09:23] m0u5e: my understanding is that apt-build is used to build sources of a ubuntu package. So you'll need a source package installed of the application you want to compile [09:23] m0u5e: it's not used to compile normal sources of an application [09:23] yup2x..... but I already installed many software then [09:23] I cant start synaptic, sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/ main.cf: No such file or directory [09:24] I'm having trouble getting Norwegian spellchecking to work in Ooo 2.4... It says "unknown" where I believe it should say, uh, "Norwegian" [09:24] m0u5e i dont think that will help cause if i run metacity --replace then mplayer renders the video correctly [09:24] bazhang : heres the error: The list of sources could not be read [09:24] how do i uninstall this hardy heron and go back to Gutsy Gibbons please? [09:24] bazhang : heres the error: The list of sources could not be read [09:24] bain: i mean is there a way I can download all the source files, but not install it, and when I call ./configure from whatever dir of what I want to install, have ./configure use the stuff that I previously downloaded in apt-build? [09:24] bazhang: so Shadow said i must use gparted to make a partition.... so i make a 28 GB partition ext3 [09:24] blame: your isp still needs to put in a record on the IP itself, and then yes you just add an A record on your domain pointed to your ip. and the domain would be what yo utold your isp to put in the RDNS record on the IP [09:24] harris this is only a day old? [09:25] bazhang : heres the error: The list of sources could not be read [09:25] bazhang: yupyup one day old.... [09:25] bain: or how bout apt-get --build-dep w/ --download? [09:25] wellim: heres the error: The list of sources could not be read [09:25] harris you might want to wipe it and start over-->that is a mighty small / partition imo [09:25] how do i uninstall this hardy heron and go back to Gutsy Gibbons please? [09:25] m0u5e: I have no experiance with apt-build .. so I'm not clear on ity's uses .. [09:25] bain: wait no, that wouldn't work -__-; it wont just automatically install lol [09:25] buntu yes I saw I will help you in a bit [09:25] bain: its okay, thx anyways :) [09:26] olskolric o crap i think ur screwed [09:26] bazhang can you remote? me? [09:26] bazhang: wow! can i still hmmmmm at least backup my files to my other hard disk is it okay? [09:26] ANYONE: can remote to me? [09:26] harris: bazhang: agreed [09:26] m0u5e: my understanding of the man page apt-build is used to download and recompile .deb packages according to your architechtural needs. hence it cannot resolve dependancies of a source package that is not in the ubuntu package list [09:26] olskolirc, fresh install [09:26] harris yes [09:27] FriedCPU: Is there a way to circumvent my ISP and have my own DNS do that? Make NS and all. [09:27] ANYONE: can remote to my computer? [09:27] harris: i agree with bazhang, just go ahead and wipe :), if you really want you could set up a new partition and copy over your /home/ to it, then when you reformat set that partiion to be your home [09:27] ANYONE: can remote to me? [09:27] so bazhang the next tym I format it I must put a bigger size of /root.... maybe 30 Gb and 256 for my swap [09:27] Cant start synaptic, sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/ main.cf: No such file or directory [09:27] buntu please be patient I am helping someone will help you in a minute thanks [09:27] ok [09:27] harris: if its any indication i'm on a 30gb hd laptop here, i have 8gb set for my system partition [09:27] harris not that big unless you want to install every ubuntu package ;] [09:28] bain, how about apt-cache showpkg packagename [09:28] harris: Are you running dual boot or anything? [09:28] I think that might show you all the dependencies (installed or not) [09:28] Y-Town: Yes I have dual boot windows and Ubuntu [09:28] ok bazhang thanks [09:28] ANYONE: can remote desktop my computer? [09:28] harris: how large is your drive in total and how large is windows? [09:28] ANYONE: can remote desktop my computer [09:28] emma: I think he's trying to compile a package from source that is not in the ubuntu package list [09:28] ANYONE: can remote desktop my computer [09:28] i'll do it, and close your irc client [09:28] blame: If you want your IP address to be found with a domain name you can use a free DNS service provider like http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ to give you a web presence (I am using www.neil.homelinux.com). Does that help ? [09:28] emma: he never mentioned that it was an ubuntu source package [09:29] buntu please dont repeat like that [09:29] ANYONE: can remote desktop my computer [09:29] !repeat | buntu [09:29] buntu: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait.

[09:29] bain: i'm trying to get wesnoth 1.4-2, i mean its not a big deal, i can just manually install the deps but I was just curious if there was a faster way to fetch the tree or something [09:29] !patience buntu [09:29] Factoid patience buntu not found [09:29] !patience | buntu [09:29] buntu: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [09:29] bain: no it is, but the one in the repos is v1.4-2 [09:29] im back [09:29] bain: no it is, but the one in the repos is v1.4-1* [09:30] how do I install an .iso from the command line please?

I lost my nvidia restriced driver and my 1024x768 with this hardy heron upgrade and can't edit xorg.con [09:31] m0u5e: so the package you're trying to compile is NOT in the package tree since the version is incorrect. hence you're trying to compile a packge outside the apt system.

[09:32] what you "could" do is "apt-get source " which will install all the source packages deps as well as the source of th application you want to compile ... [09:32] kyncani the prob is some stuff like aticonfig is terminal based and once changes happen how do you undo it? [09:32] blame: sorry can't help any more, I am not haven't ever tried to tie local DNS etc. into an ISP. [09:32] no gui and no undo [09:32] and xorg.conf doesnt listen [09:32] huhuhuhu I got nosebleed just downloading drivers and configuring them well well well....... I'm learning.....! that's okay...... GUYS thanks for the help [09:33] paki_31m_khobar: man apt-get will be nice enough to tell you everything [09:33] after 7.04 [09:33] m0u5e: then you can run ./configure and compile form there, tho apt will not be involved at any point to handle package management ..

[09:36] yep [09:36] GIn: no; you can encrypt such a file with gpg though (gpg -c file.tgz) [09:37] how do I install a desklet/ screenlet from gnome-look? [09:37] hi...i already install ntfs-3g and ntfs-config..but still cannot write my hdd [09:37] what wrong? [09:37] IntangibleLiquid: if you are using hardy just sudo apt-get install screenlets [09:37] Hello everyone! Is there a possibility to activate an automatic control of cpu power in Ubuntu (i.e. when CPU is not needed, then the frequencey goes down), etc? [09:37] m0u5e, is that the manager? [09:37] cableroy: many people (but not me). It's been reported as a launchpad bug. Look for "firefox sqlite cache". [09:38] IntangibleLiquid: it's everything, the manager and basic screenlets [09:38] CPU scaling, I mean [09:38] Stormcr0w: in my Amd X2 that work by default (i have freq scaling) [09:38] Stormcr0w: right click your panel, and there is a thing just to do that [09:38] so long frend [09:38] m0u5e, thanks I'll install it [09:38] kyncani: ok thank you [09:38] Stormcr0w: if you figure out a way to do advanced scaling plz tell me (i know theres a way, just haven't really had time to play around) [09:38] cableroy: np :) [09:39] Stormcr0w: what cpu do you have? can you post the output of cpufreq-info?? [09:39] I think in practice you find out the dependencies you may still be needing when you run the ./configure [09:39] Stormcr0w: right click panel, add to panel, then drag Inhibit applet to your panel [09:39] had to force quit Pitivi..gutsy 7.10 [09:40] Stormcr0w: my bad, not inhibit but freq control [09:40] bazhang: tanx [09:40] sure ;] [09:40] anyone using exaile and knows how to reset smart playlists? rescanning doesnt do anything but doubles my playlist count with dead entries [09:40] kindofabuzz: I've got "Frequency scaling monitor" [09:41] wait that just moniters it [09:41] greetings good people! [09:41] i cannot find FROSTWIRE [09:41] i have a Thunderbird related problem. can anyone help me through it? [09:41] m0u5e, I think if you are compiling from source, something that's in the repositories then you could use apt-cache showpkg packagename to find the dependencies. I think that in practice, if you are compiling something not in the respositories, you run the ./configure and you learn about missing dependencies from any possible error messages. You just take care of them before running the make. [09:41] !frostwire | uuuuuu look here [09:41] uuuuuu look here: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.

[09:41] m0u5e, also, if you are going to be compiling from source you will want to do this: sudo apt-get install build-essential [09:42] emma: yeah, but it would be so convenient to just fetch the entire apps tree to resolve deps :( [09:42] noob-africa_: yes; pretty much as usual thanks :) [09:42] emma: no yeah, i already ran ./configure, thats usually how I resolve deps, I was just curious if there was a more convenient way [09:42] Stormcr0w: which cpu do you have?

To make Thunderbird links open in Firefox, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427 [09:43] noob-africa_: no; sorry i use evolution [09:43] bazhang: one other thing you said that i dont need to have a big root disk space? [09:43] erUSUL: i used Evolution till it crashed on me... it doesnt work no more, i switched to Thunderbird... but i have a small problem [09:43] erUSUL: how do you like evolution? I was thinking about trying it out due to the fact that my school uses novell groupwise, and it would integrate nicely rather than having to use pop3... [09:43] bazhang: one other thing you said that i dont need to have a big root disk space. WHy? [09:43] can I install hardy with software RAID from the desktop CD? [09:43] solve..i add this < sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1/ -o force> in rc.local [09:44] harris depends-->7-8GB minimum imo [09:44] harris: linux in general isn't like vista... it's not space hungry [09:44] hey bazhang -- whhat's shakin my good man? [09:44] erUSUL: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 [09:44] bazhang: I'll be installing different softwares and Ill be making programs [09:44] hi noob-africa_ ;] [09:44] m0u5e: been using it for a long time and it works well for me [09:44] harris then best to give it a bit more [09:44] so what are your advise to me if I have 30 Gb..... [09:44] askvictor: if you can, i expect the feature to be in the alternate install cd only [09:44] harris: unless you plan to install windows games via wine directly to / i don't see why you would ever need more than 20gigs [09:45] erUSUL: have any comparisons between thunderbird and evolution? :) [09:45] harris 10 for / 1GB swap the rest for /home [09:45] erUSUL: i ran terminal command "ls-alh | grep .thunderbird" and got the reply "bash: ls-als command not found". why? [09:45] harris: if you have 30gb, i would recommend 8-10gb for / and rest for /home [09:45] totem movie player in hardy can't play an audio when playing back wmv files ........ ideaz? === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [09:45] harris: oh yes, don't forget swap haha xD [09:45] arooni__: use mplayer [09:45] arooni__: maybe your audio drivers arent properly installed... [09:46] arooni__: or install the gstreamer plugin that allows wma playback [09:46] noob-africa_, i hear plenty of audio in either apps [09:46] isn't the /home folder is under the /root ? [09:46] m0u5e, how do i do that [09:46] harris: it doesn't necessarily have to be [09:46] m0u5e, either one :P? [09:46] arooni__: did you run depmod -a ? [09:46] noob-africa_: ls -al (space between ls and the switches) [09:46] arooni__: i recommend you try mplayer, its much better than totem [09:46] harris: /root is roots home dir... you probably mean something else [09:46] noob-africa_, dont remember doing that..... what should i do there [09:46] arooni__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [09:46] harris can be yes, but if is seperate then reinstalls are much less painful or if something really bad happens ;] [09:46] m0u5e, ah cant you tell me what to type [09:46] arooni__: install repos, and then sudo apt-get install mplayer w32codecs [09:47] erUSUL: i got the following output --> rwx------ 3 aziz mysql 4.0K 2008-04-09 17:26 .mozilla-thunderbird [09:47] drwxr-xr-x 2 aziz mysql 4.0K 2008-04-18 13:43 mozilla thunderbird [09:47] arooni__: it will tell you how to add repositories, then just copypaste "sudo apt-get install mplayer w32codecs" and you will be set :) [09:47] drwxr-xr-x 2 aziz mysql 4.0K 2008-04-03 12:58 thunderbird [09:47] erUSUL: care to troubleshoot?

I think I read at the official web site that 8.04 should come with Firefox 2.0, but mine says 3 Beta 5. I just think it's a little bit weird that the default browser is a beta version. expecially when thinking about the security. Does anyone know any details? [09:49] Hi there [09:49] Sarge_TJ: yes, thats correct, it does come with the beta [09:49] m0u5e, ok i can do that; but how do i change the default program that opens movies to be mplayer and not movie player?

[09:50] !ot | hardff [09:50] hardff: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [09:50] need some help for fujitsu siemens amilo pi 25 30: still fgxlr for ati drivers? what about the built in webcam? [09:50] erUSUL: was that ... listing the Thunderbird hide directory... good or bad? LOL [09:50] Sarge_TJ: 8.04 comes with ff 3 beta all right. Something to do with lts [09:50] arooni__: er... its under a file in /home somewhere... I'm not sure... you could always do it the old fasion way, right click on *.ext file and then go to properties, and change it to mplayer [09:50] hardff: Mono and .NET implement a standard. [09:51] Have they given up support og Gutsy Gibbon already? i tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and it says it doesnt exist [09:51] m0u5e, oh noes! that sounds like Windoz ........... duh duh duh :( [09:51] well that is a bucket of coolness [09:51] arooni__: mplayer_rc2 has a bug though, that uses incorrect gnome URI file handlers, so you have to have it run with not mplayer from the list but rather a custom program, "gmplayer %U" [09:51] noob-africa_: harmless ;) the only thing that seems weird is that they belong to the mysql group [09:51] If I'm running RAID1 in software, can the boot drive be RAIDed? [09:51] N1N31NCHN41L6: no... it's still got a year I think. [09:51] arooni__: there is a way to change multiple ones at once though... unfortunately you can't do it under preferred applications :( [09:51] if i install something from source, how would i remove it later?? [09:51] m0u5e, how do i get the gui for mplayer [09:51] hmm [09:51] applications>sound&video>mplayer [09:51] arooni__: it's part of the same package 'gmplayer' [09:51] m0u5e: but i am also using Totem Video Player, with Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS soundcard... with no problems with audio [09:51] arooni__: or alt+f2 gmplayer [09:52] Nevstah: often there is a 'make uninstall' option [09:52] erUSUL: solution? [09:52] fde: thought so buyt why doies ubuntu-restricted-extras not exist [09:52] how to make hydrogen use pulseaudio? [09:52] erUSUL: they should belong to MY group, meaning User, right? not mysql? [09:52] make uninstall typically requies you keep the source tree around though [09:52] N1N31NCHN41L6: No idea, but that doesn't signify support. [09:52] Does anyone knows if its possible to install and use Relakks (the vpn service) , when using a linux dedicated server, where you only have remote access through putty?. [09:52] I can't have sound in hydrogen with firefox open [09:52] N1N31NCHN41L6, likely you dont have correct repos enabled [09:52] erUSUL: what is the chown syntax for that? [09:52] I'm using PulseAudio and Hardy, and I'm getting no sound out of my speakers. The hardware side works fine; sound plays in XP. It *was* working in Ubuntu until just recently, so I'm a bit mystified as to where it might have gone... I've got an Intel Azalia card, and the PulseAudio playback monitor shows that sound is being played by the applications, but all I hear out of the speakers is a bit of static. [09:52] Stormcr0w: if you haven't added the acpi=off boot option then you are ok i guess [09:53] It is recommended that you use checkinstall when compiling from source, because it will make removing the application easier if necessary. [09:53] N1N31NCHN41L6: In fact, that package is explicitly _not_ supported. [09:53] so we cant even get mp3 or flash or anything if we use gutsy now??? have to stay straight out the box incompatible?? [09:53] askvictor: thanks :) [09:53] noob-africa_: "chgrp goup file" === Ubuntu-desperate is now known as UbuntuDesperate [09:53] adam7, I have a similar problem but have you tried the pulseaudio perfect setup yet? === UbuntuDesperate is now known as Ubunt1 [09:53] erUSUL: OK. I know I need to enable scaling from within the BIOS. I was just wondering whether Ubuntu will handle it automatically, or whether I need to take additional action [09:53] adam7: check _all_ the volumes, check again and recheck [09:53] !info gutsy ubuntu-restricted-extras | N1N31NCHN41L6 [09:54] n1n31nchn41l6: Package gutsy does not exist in hardy [09:54] noob-africa_: i don't like totem... it doesn't give me all the options I want, and doesn't support SSA/ASS subtitling [09:54] erUSUL: can u give me the full syntax please? i dont see thunderbird in there...

[10:42] hellow: module-assistant only works if the maintainer of the module has set up helpers in the package... in the case of gspca-source, they have, however it that was going to help, the module would be loaded already. [10:42] however if* [10:42] hmm [10:42] kyncani: also checked out gentoo but nothing there that worked either [10:42] so what does m-a a-i do me? [10:42] Hey Ubuntu, heres a important question. Is it sad that my favorite feature of ubuntu is the wiggly windows? [10:43] hellow: 'lsmod | grep gspca' with the cam plugged in to see whether it has. [10:43] chrissy_: you mean compiz effects? [10:43] hellow: in this case, nothing, as Ubuntu provides it compiled. [10:43] lsmod | grep gspca returns nothing.. hmm [10:43] oxtail: i would check out with hardy live cd, if it works, a reinstall may be the quickest way to have sound working, if not, well, that's just too bad and you may or may not try debian sid [10:43] hellow: then gspca doesn't support your cam ;) [10:43] i would imagine, as I'm no where near a experinced user I know them by the most technical for terms "Wiggly Windows Yay" [10:43] heres a copy of my /etc/samba/smb.conf http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11080/ [10:44] hi all, can ne1 help me with ubuntu 8.04 synaptic pacake manager? [10:44] !ask | colin_ [10:44] colin_: 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. :-) [10:44] ? [10:44] oh sorry [10:44] im new to this [10:44] colin_: what is problem? [10:44] !anyone [10:44] 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? [10:44] synaptic pancake manager? yummy. [10:45] i want to install wine emulator, but it is only version 0.9.59 and i wan too install the latest version 0.9.61 [10:45] * fde wants a blueberry pancake please [10:45] * roachmmflhyr is asking questions straight forward...with no responses [10:45] sudo apt-get install blueberries [10:45] fde: "hellow: gspca is in the ubuntu kernel already, so that's not your solution... but if you install 'module-assistant' you can do 'm-a a-i '" that was the only reason i asked why m-a a-i would help me. i guess i was confused about the necessity of using that for gspca. meh... [10:45] !patience | roachmmflhyr [10:45] roachmmflhyr: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:45] roachmmflhyr, that's always my problem too :) [10:45] colin_, there is a repository for wine, to get the latest versions, check the winehq page [10:45] hellow: see the first statement there. [10:46] fde, i know this [10:46] ive tried ubuntu wont install the ones from wine hq [10:46] hey [10:46] it will only install wine from the synaptic [10:46] roachmmflhyr: Then don't make comments to the effect that we should be giving you more attention. [10:46] colin_, I think that wine has it's own repository. You may want to go to the wine website and look at how to add it to your software sources list. [10:46] oh [10:46] colin_, then you should be able to install the latest version with apt-get install. [10:46] colin_: stick with 0.9.59 if you can, otherwise, it involves installing something else than hardy, compiling wine yourself or using some third party repository. [10:46] roachmmflhyr, you might want to try in a samba channel [10:46] colin - what emma said [10:47] colin_, synaptic will get the packages from what repositories you have configured, I am not 100% sure that there is a repository for Hardy [10:47] hello [10:47] oh tight thx kyncani [10:47] sorry, i saw that but i meant.. well, then what would one have used m-a? I'm getting at why that advise was germane... [10:47] I have to 17inch screens, they are DVI screens with a dual DVI card, is there a simple how to, to get them to work as one screen, I have both screens showing the same thing at this points [10:47] i cant wait for version 1.0 of wine [10:47] anyone playing silkroad on ubuntu ?? [10:47] whats silkroad [10:47] erUSUL: ok, here's what it says, "run_program /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit" [10:47] kippi: try displayconfig-gtk [10:48] silkroadonline.net online game ;) [10:48] colin - you and me both mate :) [10:48] colin_: you tried http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb and it's not working after an update? [10:48] :-) [10:48] colin_: don't worry, ubuntu will follow wine versions every six months :) [10:48] and i have the problem anyone can help ? [10:48] hello ! [10:48] colin_: why do you need wine anyway ? [10:48] i usually use fedora but got really fed up of waiting for fedora 9 and swithed to ubuntu [10:49] ive got alot of old windows games, ive dumped windows alltogether [10:49] colin_: you can 'wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/ubuntu/hardy/wine_0.9.61~winehq0~ubuntu~8.04-1_i386.deb' and install that via dpkg -i [10:49] ah, old windows games :) [10:49] linux much betetr than windows [10:49] does anyone know why one gets a message during boot that says "/sbin/modprobe abnormal exit"? [10:49] hi, what voip client phone software can I use with ubuntu ? (something like x-lite) [10:49] thx fde [10:50] colin_: you may look at [10:50] Hello!

I think my system is really down the drain, so I try to rescue some files by trying to boot live. However, X fails to boot. I get all kinds of funky color lines on my system and anything but a usable desktop to make some partitions. I used to set the driver to vesa in xorg.conf, but there is no option for that now. How can I get X up and running? (using irssi now) [10:52] adam7: thank you [10:53] Tobias92, boot the recovery mode and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , then restart X , and see what happens. [10:53] does anyone know what "modprobe" doe? [10:53] What is the mount point for a network share? [10:53] emma, I mean the X from the live cd of 8.04, that one doesn't want to start [10:54] mr_boo: man modprobe does [10:54] mm get strange error when i try ./configure in wane now [10:54] mr_boo: If I remember well add a module to the start [10:54] mr_boo, it loads a module into the kernel [10:54] !mr_boo it loads some driver into action [10:54] CantLoginAfterUp: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [10:54] mr_boo: it loads/unloads module into kernle [10:54] mr_boo: it manages modules in a simple way.

I have a quick question to mosno, studente, etc... basically, has anyone replicated the zoom window function of osx? I see no signs of this. [10:56] nothing in syap#tic for build-essentials [10:56] Ali_ix: it is fglrx, it was just installed as default [10:57] the maximize window philosophy of auld still plauges the non os-x world oddly. [10:57] colin_: build-essential, not build-essentials [10:57] hellow: Sorry, I don't know anything about that [10:57] kippi: the last time i checked, fglrx had a control panel, you may try it to config dual screens [10:57] ah [10:57] hellow: what is the 'zoom' window thing? [10:57] danbhfive: have you used osx? [10:58] CantLoginAfterUp: when you log in grub show a list of linux kernel like 2.6.22-14-generic and 2.6.24-16-generic [10:58] hellow: no, i have not [10:58] got it just installing it [10:58] hellow: You intended to assign a different shortcut? [10:58] hellow: i dont know OS X that well [10:58] kippi: fglrx-control packages should be installed [10:58] hi again [10:58] Ok, well it's difficult to explain to someone that hasn't used it. Basically, instead of maximizing the window, it measures the contents of teh window and resizes it to no more than that amoount. [10:58] DCC SEND /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/ [10:59] hellow: I assure you, there are many tools improving OSX, just ask google and you'll surely have an answer [10:59] dmesg told nothing [10:59] kippi: here is an old how-t thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=158686 [10:59] it replaces "Maximize" and sits next to Minimize and Close buttons on the left [10:59] mmm now theres an error flex [10:59] as i said it IS gdm bug [10:59] studente: yeah, well you'd think so but google, clusty etc let me down here [10:59] i looked through the forums [10:59] it seems nobody knows what i'm on about! [10:59] hellow: And go to Mac channel, they will know [10:59] studente: no, no they wont' [10:59] matg: you could switch to kdm then instead of gdm [10:59] and find something, but no solution [11:00] i've been to many *sigh* [11:00] \i know [11:00] :) [11:00] i`ve got problem with manually installing a packages , after i execute "make" in terminal it show the next this "make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/kaloqn/Desktop/gdb-6.8/gdb/gdbserver'" [11:00] what`s that mean [11:00] Ali_ix: do i still need to do this in 8.04 ? [11:00] but i would like to know if this bug is known to developers [11:00] ah solved wine had to install flex and bison what ever they are [11:00] suxxor, there must be a more descriptive error message on the output [11:00] suxxor, it looks like a normal message - your thing should be compiled [11:00] It's teh *3rd* button of only 3 buttons prominently featured in every os-x window... it's odd nobody has emulated this smart maximize / "Zoom" feature for window management yet. [11:00] and why are you trying to build gdb ? [11:01] hellow: How do you know that? [11:01] Though it is rather complex how it's done, so I do understand it... [11:01] kippi: try fglrx-control first, if it didnt work, you should look for some how to in wiki/forums [11:01] looks like but when i execute make install [11:01] is that for an ati card [11:01] know what? [11:01] the packages doesn`t install [11:01] hellow: how to help you etc... [11:01] suxxor, gdb is avaialble from the repositories, you should use it instead [11:02] hellow: Sorry, but no sense in coming on Ubuntu channel to ask about things related to OSX ;) [11:02] Anyone here know if its possible to assign programs to a certain desktop (like spaces on osx leopard) [11:02] How can I display list of all partitions?

I can mount cdroms and automount works great, too. I even can read my DVD-RAMs, but I have no write support. Ubuntu tells me, the disc is not writeable. [11:02] daftpun1: fdisk -l ? [11:02] thank you [11:02] joapinto shall it works i want to see assembly language on linux [11:02] vegombrei, your drive can write those kinds of disks, yeah? [11:02] studente: you're insane. my question was regarding emulating a core function of another OS on ubuntu. that's ubuntu related. just because you don't have an answer, means i'd rather not hear advise from you. thanks tho.. [11:03] adam7: Sorry, but the link you gave me does't have any info about Macs [11:03] tung: are You there?, yes, both of the kernel's are my options [11:03] joaopinto shall it works i want to see assembly language on linux [11:03] suxxor, there is no advantage on building gdb by your own, the packages are available to make your life easier [11:03] studente, sorry -- it's just the standard hardware page :) I'm sure people have done it though [11:04] I have never used gdb for assembly debugging, but yes I assume it can be done with the standard gdb [11:04] adam7: Are you sure?

[11:05] adam7: Uhm...Live cd ...sure but for Mac heh [11:05] hellow: Do you know where the Mac channel is? [11:05] tung: that's clear [11:05] oh [11:06] joaopinto it looks like it is install "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." [11:06] studente, if the Mac is Intel based, then you just need the x86 livecd if you want to run Ubuntu [11:06] fde: you mean every programm, which is able to handle SIP can connect to every SIP service Provider ?# [11:06] studente: try /chanserv list *mac* [11:06] how to start it [11:06] suxxor, so it is already installed [11:06] hellow: I can link you to Leopard official forum too, if you want:. [11:06] joaopinto how do i started [11:06] xd_: yes... in Ekiga's case, Edit > Accounts and set it up. [11:06] fde: ok, thanks [11:06] Ali_ix: thanks [11:06] tung: no success, same problem [11:07] studente, could you stop being irritating, the question from hellow was on topic, he just wanted to be able to reproduce a GUI feature on Ubuntu [11:07] pvh_sa|wrk: file indexer. shouldn't be installed by default, just remove it. [11:07] void^, thanks [11:07] hello all [11:07] !hi [11:07] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:08] suxxor, well, you realy need to read some tutorial/manual about gdb, gdb is a complex tool [11:08] CantLoginAfterUp: are you using compiz [11:08] i seem to have broke my video... [11:08] jenda: Ok, So i must got him wrong, sorry [11:08] tung: yes [11:08] suxxor, man gdb (is a good start) [11:08] can someone help me with gdesklets [11:09] joaopinto: thanks for the sanity check [11:09] CantLoginAfterUp: try log in by using failsafe gnome [11:09] god damn that's obnoxious of him.... [11:09] tung: right a minute [11:09] hellow, no one has an answer for your, let's move on ;) [11:10] i tried 2 set it to where i won't have to keep resetting the screen resolution but when i did i think i adjusted my resolution wrong [11:10] hellow, relax my friend. Let's move on to something more happy. [11:10] my issue with gdesklets is i have to run it from application menu every time i would like to have it there everytime i bootup [11:10] yeah, i did. i'm talking in most every other chat. i'll repost in a few hrs hopefully if theres a diff crowd here maybe [11:10] what can i do to fix it back?? [11:10] bye! [11:10] tung: actually I found some error in dmesg, but it looks like they are not the causing problems [11:11] i just noticed joaopinto's resonse and was grateful was all... meh [11:11] hellow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromMacOSX I suggest checking this page [11:11] read it [11:11] hellow, what was your original question? [11:11] i appreciate it tho [11:11] emma: How to replicate the Zoom Window function prominent in osx [11:11] ledmushroom, System -> Preferences -> Sessions (add the gdesklets command there) [11:11] hellow, -- I understand your feelings as well. [11:11] It's hard to explain to non-mac users tho [11:11] i used displayconfig-gtk [11:11] Yes I'm not familiar with it myself but I will try to do some research for you. [11:12] ty [11:12] CantLoginAfterUp: I don't know very well, but I had a same problem and succeeded in loging in by failsafe gnome session [11:12] See, in OS X there's three buttons prominent in every window. Close, Minimize and Zoom [11:12] hellow: this room is probably still not the best place for your question. This room is specifically for problems with Ubuntu. #ubuntu-offtopic is the other room for non-support related questions [11:13] danbhfive, is question is related to ubuntu, please read the carefull before replying [11:13] read it [11:13] Zoom is _not_ maximize though. It dynamically resizes the window based on it's contents. [11:13] tung: I got recovery menu, what should I choose [11:14] joaopinto: i did read it [11:14] read it read it hmmm [11:14] CantLoginAfterUp: in failsafe gnome? [11:14] choose ok [11:14] tung: yes [11:14] fine, i haven't found anything in forums [11:14] Hi! I've installed first time kubunto desktop 64bit 8.04 but what's root is not accessible? [11:14] joaopinto i hope so do you know assembly language in linux ? [11:14] Even most mac heads dont' notice that even exists. It "JustWorks(R)" (i really need to stop using that phrase!) anyhow, I'm still curious if such a thing exists in K/X/Ubuntu [11:14] so i suppose it's new bug [11:14] *unknown* [11:14] danbhfive, which part of "Is there a zoom function similar to macosx in Ubuntu?" is off-topic ? [11:14] CantLoginAfterUp: it will load the default setting then you can fix your installation [11:15] suxxor, not, I don't use assembly language since 10 years agos [11:15] danbhfive: is this just problems with ubuntu? i'm not trying to be an ass, I'm honestly curious. [11:15] ok tnks [11:15] I don't want to ruffle any feathers and will gladly take it to off topic if that's more useful [11:15] bye [11:15] how do i know if i have the right cmd [11:15] hellow, the only zoom functions I am aware, are WINDOW KEY+1, WINDOW KEY+2 (compiz) [11:16] CantLoginAfterUp: can you log in now? [11:16] but that is screen zoom (magnifiers) [11:16] tung: i have an option to choose, one of "resume normal boot" "drp to to root shell promt" or "try to fix X server" [11:16] joaopinto looks like you`ve got huge experience in programing [11:16] oh, yeah I use that but not screen magnification.. window zooming [11:16] hellow, you might get this feature with compiz-fusion using the superkey (the windows key) + scroll wheel. === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [11:16] I think hellow is looking for something that will change the window size to the one most appropriate for the current window [11:16] hmm.. no, that's screen mag. tooo [11:16] i am having a perculiar problem, when i start a game fullscreen at 1024x768 (my res) it starts as windowed and becomes inactive [11:16] adam7: yeah [11:17] hellow -- Okay then I am unsure, best of luck. [11:17] tung: i guess I should choose last one [11:17] suxxor, yes, anyway, you should not use assembly unless you need to learn it, or you need a low level hardware function [11:17] ie clicking button = 247x245 jpg = 247x245 window size === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [11:17] high level languages are more productive :P [11:17] I appreciate your response just the same emma :) [11:17] it's very similar to http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/107350-gdm-problem-ubuntu-7-10-a.html [11:18] or the same [11:18] Chapai: if the game supports fullscreen (as opposed to windowed) mode, it should be in the game menu. [11:18] Chapai, any game or just a specific game ? [11:18] my ubuntu is 8.04 [11:18] yw hellow -- If you resolve your issue I would appreciate if you contact me to let me know how you did it, in case anyone else asks in the future. [11:18] joaopinto do you use skype ? [11:18] hi [11:18] emma, will do [11:18] does anyone know why fr.archive.ubuntu.com is down ? [11:18] does anyone know how to get rid of those ugly scrollbars with xtightvncviewer? [11:18] suxxor, yes, but english is not my native lang, so let's keep the help here :P [11:18] as a matter of fact, it seems so obvious to me... i'll probably create a website for it.

[11:19] all the games i tried anyway, only 800x600 fullscreen works, kyncani joaopinto [11:19] bazhang: hi can i have 5 minutes of your time brother [11:19] CantLoginAfterUp: try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:19] papel, is that a wine output ? [11:19] yes :/ [11:19] tung: did that, didn't help [11:20] joaopinto, why not add more servers ? [11:20] papel, better asking on #winehq :) [11:20] heh:) [11:20] tung: I'e read about it already somewhere [11:20] too mee it just looks hugh debug output [11:20] gribouille, well, don't ask me :) [11:20] joaopinto don`t worry i am not english is not my native language , but this deter to tell me your skype account [11:20] joaopinto, whom do I have to ask ? [11:20] hellow, never having used a mac it is hard for me to say. Is this related at all -- http://webscripts.softpedia.com/script/Image-Galleries/Image-Effects/TJPzoom-39107.html [11:21] CantLoginAfterUp: did you reinstall xserver-xgl [11:21] * kyncani is going to play some ri-li :) [11:21] i need help understanding something .,, [11:21] tung: i guess it's something deeper, maybe i can provide some log information to analize [11:21] gribouille, probably sending an email to an approiate mailing list, like ubuntu-devel-discuss or similar would be a proper approach [11:21] tung: should I? I can try [11:21] emma, nope [11:21] suxxor, :) [11:21] joaopinto suicide .... can`t you give me your skype account or you want to save confidence [11:22] i'm setting up an osx machine right now.. if you want, you can vnc into it and i can show you (if you're interested in how the WM works in it, if not I'll bug off). [11:22] joaopinto, I bet someone already did it [11:22] gribouille, yes, I read something about us.archive this morning, which is having the same issues [11:22] so long as you don't start deleting my stuff or whatever, which you won't because you seem helpful. of course, i don't want to give out my IP/vncpass in a publicly logged forumn... hmm [11:23] Dear ubuntu people. I broke my ubuntu installation and I want to install it again. However, I have lots of data and no access to a tool like gparted (not even the gparted live cd, which keeps hanging). Is there any way I can install ubuntu, keeping my original files? [11:23] joaopinto, but for fr.archive.ubuntu.com, it lasts since the release of hardy [11:23] geert_, can you mount your partitions using a LiveCD ? [11:23] No I don't really want to access your system. Just contact me if you find an answer. [11:23] tung: how should I reinstall it? apt-get remove -> apt-get install [11:23] gribouille, same for a lot of other mirror groups wordwilde [11:24] CantLoginAfterUp: using synaptic [11:24] joaopinto, yeah, I can reach the files [11:24] geert_, then you just need to copy the files to some external media [11:24] /home/* [11:24] hey, upgrading a dapper drake to the latest ubuntu version guessing that is hardy heron, is that something that should go smooth? just some dist-upgrade stuff ? or am i better off just downloading the iso and reinstalling? [11:24] tung: i have no GUI, that's the problem, I never get the login screen [11:24] CantLoginAfterUp: that way okay if you have an internet connection [11:24] joaopinto, it is extremely disappointing for a distro that aims to be used by as many people as possible [11:25] joaopinto, well, good fun that'll be :P. It's about 160 gigs of school essays and C# code :P. Let alone my public_html which is crowded [11:25] beme, I would do a fresh clean install [11:25] tung: although i can always use console [11:25] beme, do a clean install if possible [11:25] i was hoping you weren't going to say that :) [11:25] geert_, next time make sure you create /home on a dedicated partition, that makes your life much easier on upgrades [11:25] anyone having weird font-rendering in the ubuntu forums? I mean the Thread subject ( in bold ) having varying sizes? [11:26] right now your only option is to backup your data to an external media [11:26] beme, try an upgrade if you like (just have a full backup) :) [11:26] joaopinto, Guess I learned my lesson then [11:26] Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? [11:26] oh, and a propos, gparted is running "e2fsck". Is it normal that I have to wait a darn long time? [11:26] s_spiff, I have weird font-rendering since the upgrade to hardy, my fix was to change ff to no let site's define their own fonts [11:27] tung: i have no package installed by the name xserver-xgl [11:27] DistroJockey, yeah i'm already a follower of the backup faith, [11:27] tung: although there are xserver-xorg [11:27] geert_, well, if your partition has problems, your probably should run fsck from the command line instead, to check for errors and required actions [11:27] joaopinto: weird. this started today for me. Wondering why? [11:27] !pdf [11:27] pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [11:27] instead of using gparted [11:27] hi im trying to sync my ipod in ubuntu, i have banshee installed but it doesnt appear. i also get device is in use when trying to manually mount it [11:27] beme, :) [11:27] emma: hellow: http://www.xvsxp.com/interface/max_vs_zoom.php [11:27] CantLoginAfterUp, sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [11:27] s_spiff, that is odd :( [11:27] joaopinto, I don't think there are problems. At leat, I hope so. [11:28] geert_, check them anyway :) [11:28] hi, is there a way to let apt automatically install the "suggested" and "recommended" packages, too? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [11:28] CantLoginAfterUp: you have to install xserver-xgl to work well with compiz [11:28] joaopinto: maybe a restart of X may solve it.. lemme try. brb [11:28] Nicola1 yes there is but I forgot what the cammand was [11:29] Nicola1, you can use aptitude... [11:29] CantLoginAfterUp: that' s weird, did you update [11:30] tung: yes, everything is up to date, now I just installed the package You mentioned, and rebooted [11:30] danbhfive, that doesn't' offer any pictures of zoomed windows but itunes compact player [11:30] Nicola1: holyguyver_ is mistaken, you cannot take advantage of those fields via apt [11:30] too bad, that mini-mode pic is completely different behavior than observed in every other window. [11:30] that description seems good tho [11:30] it worked! my fonts are back to normal! [11:31] fde I am pretty sure I have done it in the terminal before though. [11:31] I don't suppose anyone knows whether there's a version of apr_dbd_mysql for Ubuntu in the repos? I've done apt-cache search dbd_mysql which turns up nothing, and apt-cache search dbd which turns up a whole lot, but not much to do with apache's authn_dbd driver for MySQL. I have seen this http://bahumbug.wordpress.com/2006/12/18/apacheaprmysql-packaging/ but it seems to be about Debian rather than Ubuntu. [11:31] holyguyver_: nope... via aptitude, yes [11:31] interesting [11:31] CantLoginAfterUp: did something go wrong when you upgrade to heron [11:32] CantLoginAfterUp: I mean internet interruption [11:32] fde could you possibly help me? as stated mmy issue is: Now I know that it came presetup with a cups/as pdf printer driver, but it doesn't allow me to choose a different name or location for the file. Is there any way for me to configure it to let me, or does anyone know of a different pdf diver that does? [11:32] Hello. Which GNUtella client is recommended? [11:33] amikrop: gtk-gnutella [11:33] hi .. i need some help .. is anyone free to chat privately ? [11:33] holyguyver_: I print to printers, I've never messed with CUPS2PDF stuff [11:33] vegombrei: ask the channel at large please. [11:34] tung: well it looks like everything was OK, not to mention the fact that the upgrade process took about 3 days [11:34] fde: OK. Thanks. [11:34] bye [11:34] fde I have never printed to a printer on/using linux [11:34] ok .. how do i do this .. Just change the line for the drive in /etc/fstab so that it is mounted in read/write mode: [11:34] tung: that's my work PC, and I left it for upgrading for a weekend [11:34] vegombrei: Which drive? [11:34] if I forward a port with iptables it shows up on nmap as filtered, but it doesn't actually work. Any ideas ? [11:34] fde: i donno .. i just have the one .. [11:35] fde: dvd-ram drive [11:35] tung: but despite that, everything went just great, no problems were announced [11:35] holyguyver_: I've had no experience setting them up really... every printer I've tried has just worked out of the box with the openprinting.org stuff. [11:35] fde I have never heard of openprinting.org before [11:35] tung: and yet again the package installation didn't help [11:36] vegombrei: the DVD-RW will mount when you put it in the drive... just drag and drop things to the window in Gnome. [11:36] fde: i been reading up on solutions on how to use a dvd-ram disc in ubuntu and i found a forum where someone's fixed the similar problem i have .. however im new to linux and ubuntu so i dont actually understand how to do that [11:36] holyguyver_: apt-cache search openprinting ... or go to openprinting.org [11:37] fde: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11513 [11:37] fde I have tried one real printer but it is a printer/paralel port one (I have never yet owned one that isn't) so I am not sure how to set it/them up in linux. [11:37] CantLoginAfterUp: did you install another window manager [11:37] Hey I need a good SMTP server program for Server, any recommendations? [11:37] holyguyver_: yeah... my printers are all USB [11:37] tung: no [11:37] CantLoginAfterUp: like enlightenment or blackbox [11:37] FergoFrog: postfix [11:37] FergoFrog, just use the commonly used postfix [11:37] Hello all! [11:38] fde: did you see the link i sent ya ? [11:38] postfix +1 [11:38] fde I am running on a 1998 gateway with a 4GB harddrive & 90MBs of ram :) [11:38] CantLoginAfterUp: I had to go to enlightenment session to fix it [11:38] how do I record music CD? when I insert rhythm starts playing it.. but I do not see it mounted [11:38] vegombrei: they are telling you how to do it :/ [11:38] tung: i guess we should look into boot log, or something, but as for me, it doesn't say a lot [11:39] CantLoginAfterUp: I take it you cant login? [11:39] holyguyver_: ouch [11:39] Thanks guys [11:39] I cannot get Amarok to work with my iPod. When I first booted it, it worked and even loaded some files onto it, but then it quit on me. Can anyone help me? [11:39] tung: and what did you fix? [11:39] tung: what should I look for? [11:39] fde & if my computer doesn't have USB ports? :p [11:39] fde: im new to linux and ubuntu bro .. donno what that means [11:40] vegombrei, what are you trying to achieve ? [11:40] CantLoginAfterUp: I remove xserver-xgl to disable compiz [11:40] vegombrei: type those commands perpended with "sudo" [11:40] holyguyver_: Then I have no experience... [11:41] i used displayconfig-gtk to adjust my screen resolution so that i wouldn't have to keep adjusting it every time i logged in...now my resolution is off & everything is blurry in my gui... [11:41] holyguyver_: you should probably go to a store and get a USB PCI card for like $10 and join the 21st century. [11:41] tung: so I should try to remove compiz too? but as I understand, compiz is not loaded before the login window is shown? [11:41] firestarter problem since i removed it , then instaled kmyfirewall. removed it. and reinstalled firestarter. http://pastebin.com/m723ea818 help? [11:42] Amarok and iPod problem, can someone help please? [11:42] fde what good will that do me if I don't have anything that uses usb? :p [11:42] krimson, im buttered on that ipod problem too [11:42] krimson: are you able to mount it? [11:42] Even Rythmbox shuts down as soon as I plug it in. [11:43] is it the upgrade process in itself that is supposed to solve the "/sbin/modprobe abnormal exit" bootup bug? [11:43] I'm new to ubuntu and only have the most faint idea how to mount things. I do not know the commands to mount in ubuntu. [11:43] can someone please help me get me screen resolution back to normal? [11:43] krimson: sure you do... mount this here [11:43] Johnny_5 so you want our input? :p [11:43] please [11:43] heh [11:44] Huh? [11:44] can i upgrade to hardy from the feisty live cd? [11:44] are you running 8.10? === Neotism is now known as Auroch [11:44] I might try hardy and see if it fixes the USB bugs. [11:44] I am running 8.10 [11:44] Johnny_5 there should be some sort of contral panel thing that gives you that option [11:44] 8.04 ^ [11:44] krimson: no you're not... it's not october yet. [11:44] ah, does the IPOD appear on the desktop. 8.-4 sorry [11:45] yes [11:45] On Windows XP, I could hit WinKey + L to lock the box whenever I went away. What is the shortcut for this on Ubuntu? [11:45] dsffdsffdsfdd: ctrl+alt+l [11:45] Ah. Thanks. [11:45] hi [11:45] I'm running the one I downloaded off ubuntu.com. =P [11:45] And it doesn't shut down any Internet connectivity or other stupid things? [11:45] dsffdsffdsfdd, you can make it the same key too if you want, usefull if you swich os a lot [11:45] can i perform an update to hardy with the feisty live cd? [11:45] sacks of wine, mounting an ipod, why does it have to equal ball ache [11:46] dsffdsffdsfdd: screen lock [11:46] where's usually java installed in ubuntu? [11:46] firestarter problem since i removed it , then instaled kmyfirewall. removed it. and reinstalled firestarter. http://pastebin.com/m723ea818 some apps like firefox or etherape are not runing too. help? [11:46] Next to the latte machine. [11:46] I love how the windows wobble around and you can drag them around in a fancy fashion. [11:46] krimson: Ubuntu versioning is based on date not traditional numbering... 7.10 was October 07 ... hardy is 8.04, April 08 [11:46] trying to get postfix working, if I telnet localhost 25 it works fine, if I do telnet example.com(my domain) 25 it immedietly says connection refused, any ideas? [11:46] Oh, I see. [11:46] ds, that soon wears off when you cant attache half your devices [11:46] iter: wrong dns map [11:46] holyguyver, joaopinto, fde: looking into the manpage of 'aptitude' gives me '--with-recommends', corresponding to the apt-setting 'Aptitude::Recommends-Important'. But where to set this? There's no '/etc/apt/apt.conf', just a '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d' in ubuntu [11:46] Ah the contents of the windows update in real time! :-) [11:46] s/Ah/And/ [11:46] krimson: it's always X.XX though [11:47] Thanks FDE [11:47] i can't seem to be able to figure this one out on my own... no i'm still running 7.10 [11:47] NiceIce, you just need to create a file with that option under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d [11:47] dsffdsffdsfdd, yes the compositing gets us the necessary bling ;-) [11:47] erm, was Nicola1 [11:47] Composting. :S [11:47] Nicola1: apt-get -o ... seems a pain to type though :/ [11:47] Nicola1: or /etc/apt/apt.conf [11:48] is there something i can do in the comand line to fix the problem? [11:48] fde: may i just create one or will i break some ubuntu stuff? [11:48] So how do I go about mounting my iPod with a manual command? I know my iPod shows up in /media/ and also on the desktop [11:48] i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? [11:48] I'm sure there was a good reason for this, but how come Evolution Mail was bundeled instead of Thunderbird? [11:48] Nicola1: It should be there? It will break nothing if you add it though. [11:48] Because I hate thunderbird. [11:49] krimson is the Ubuntu decider? :S [11:49] i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? [11:49] dsffdsffdsfdd, evolution integrates better with the gnome desktop env [11:49] It stops working for me after about two minutes. The whole thing freezes. [11:49] dsffdsffdsfdd: Evolution is part of Gnome, and Thunderbird is poorly supported upstream (hopefully that situation is going to get better with Mozilla Messaging taking over) [11:49] Ah... [11:49] ? [11:49] Amen FDE [11:49] hey all, on an x64 machine, I just upgraded from 2GB to 4GB and ubuntu only recognizes 3.8. Anyone have pointers to info or keywords for a search on the issue? [11:49] Is there a CPAN like program for Python that can be found in the ubuntu repos? [11:50] where is all the screen resolutions in 7.10 @?? can i fix my problem from there? [11:50] i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? [11:50] that said, it takes only a few seconds to get thunderbird, though one might indeed argue the support is second rate due to mozilla being more focussed on firefox [11:50] * fde prefers Thunderbird over Evolution, but the reasoning is sound for installing Evolution by default. [11:50] Hi, I am having some trouble with video's in Ubuntu. Every now and again it seems to break and displays video in black and white. Is there something I might be doing that is making this happen? [11:50] Acuster, that sounds about right to me. You usually don't get all of your memory. [11:50] fde: thank you very much. No it isn't there. Where can i read sth. about /etc/apt/apt.conf.d? Is this Ubuntu-specific? [11:50] firestarter problem since i removed it , then instaled kmyfirewall. removed it. and reinstalled firestarter. http://pastebin.com/m723ea818 some apps like firefox or etherape are not runing too. help? [11:50] The wobbling (most advanced graphics setting) seems to work great on my laptop (my only computer). However, "internal" graphics elements such as scroll bars or panes that you can resize seem to lag and jerk around quite a bit when you try to drag them smoothly. [11:50] krimson, yeah, I heard about this, any way I can find out why? [11:51] Does anyone know how to mount an iPod in Amarok [11:51] as in, if a recompile of the kernel fixes things [11:51] can anybody help me fix my screen resolution from the comand line in gutsy? [11:51] Acuster, because the software needed to run/plug-n-play/etc. the device is kept on the device. [11:51] Nicola1: They are trying to modularize everything, but the file itself will still work... (similarly, there is now /etc/apt/sources.list.d to define each repo in a separate file) [11:51] acuster, are you using Ubuntu 32bits ? [11:51] It's nothing you'll be able to fix. [11:52] I think [11:52] joaopinto, no [11:52] kyncani: ok thanks, it's a known issue with this kernel i think, do you have the hda intel sound chip working with hardy? [11:52] (not an expert) [11:52] thanks both [11:52] how can I know how many files there are in a tree of directories? [11:52] fde: you there ? [11:52] thanks fde! [11:52] gypsymauro, find /path -print | wc -l [11:52] vegombrei: yes [11:52] What is the usual mount command? [11:52] fde: i need to change the line for the drive in /etc/fstab so that it is mounted in read/write mode ... how do i do that ?? [11:53] oxtail: well, i don't have a t61 [11:53] krimson, mount device mountpoint [11:53] tanx [11:53] mount device mountpoint? [11:53] so i might as well do a reinstall? [11:53] vegombrei, you go to the intended line, and make sur eit has "rw" on the options [11:53] i need expert help!! [11:53] vegombrei: you wouldn't change it there. drives are mounted ro initially to run a fsck, then mounted rw after.. you don't want to change that. [11:53] i need help with my system tray thing, can anyone help? [11:53] tanx joaopinto [11:54] SlimThug875__: depends, can you ask the question? [11:54] yes [11:54] SlimThug875__: then do it [11:54] fde: but the forum said thats what i need to do [11:54] hallo? === mo_ is now known as M0 [11:54] !hi | korstiweg [11:54] korstiweg: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:55] hey ...1 ste x op irc :p [11:55] is there a way to fix my screen resolution via the comand line or should i just reinstall? i run gutsy 7.10.
