[00:00] jlee, stops buggy hardware from falling over read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [00:00] OK, brb, I am going to try to go do that === jlee is now known as jlee_away [00:00] tommy540 Starnestommy is right anything with 64 in it's name is 64-bit [00:00] can someone recommend a specific 802.11G PCI card that works well with linux [00:00] or USB [00:00] what about my 64 Buick? [00:01] can every one tell me? [00:01] hi peeps [00:01] Mathman: Thanks, I'll take alook at it [00:01] can anyone tell me if I can shrink ntfs partitions with gparted?? :) [00:01] MaxeyPad the best one to get and probly easeast to setup is a linksys wireless card [00:01] pielgrzym, 9 out of 10 cats said their PCs preferred it to other ways [00:01] is there a presentation program like keynote (of MAC) to ubuntu? === jlee_away is now known as jlee_OCRAP [00:02] MaxeyPad: Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter [00:02] I know what is wrong [00:02] the hardrive is going bad [00:02] That would be mine, and it works out of the box. [00:02] pielgrzym yes you can [00:02] jlee -- ever use rails.vim ? [00:02] yabuk: OpenOffice.org in Hardy can do OpenGL effects and the like. [00:02] will i see a speed increase with jfs? [00:02] yabuk, OpenOffice Presentation [00:02] !gparted | pielgrzym [00:02] pielgrzym: 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/ [00:02] uhm.. what just happened? [00:02] hi -Im upgrading from sempron to athlon -should I boot from cd and make a 64-installation after I have put in the new processor? [00:02] Fishscene: Impress* [00:02] Shadow420: will my data on ntfs suffer? ;) in other words is it safe? ;) [00:02] jrib, MIT is about half as fast, but 700kB/s is just fine for me. Thanks. I'll keep checking imbrandon to see when it's updated. [00:02] I know what is wrong, the hard drive is failing [00:03] Mactaylor: no as much as i wanted :| (i meade the switch too) [00:03] no boot disk detcted this time [00:03] fde, Normally yes, but for some reason, my Hardy Heron says Presentation [00:03] pielgrzym no it should be fine I did that once and I had no problems with windows after that [00:03] amenado, hey you around? [00:03] Fishscene, fde: ok, I'll see it. [00:03] Shadow420: thanks :) [00:03] pielgrzym is it a laptop or desktop [00:03] Fishscene: It's still Impress... that's just a friendly name ;) [00:03] Shadow420: Your awake :o) [00:04] fde, oh of course :) [00:04] I gather N support is rather dismal at this point [00:04] pielgrzym if it is a desktop I would suggest getting a second HD [00:04] Is Wireless N an even formalized standard? [00:04] Shadow420: laptop :) [00:05] Y-Town LOL [00:05] If not, it'd be pretty pointless to support a standard that will inevitablyl change. [00:05] can everone answer me [00:05] ? [00:05] why does it take 1 min to display a folder with 4k files? [00:05] zyx386: what was your question? [00:05] Search tracker tool and Deskbar tool, worked no more#finde nothing in the web or in my pc# why? [00:05] zyx386: when did it stop working [00:05] fde: Yes. [00:06] Mactaylor, that's a lot of files to have in 1 folder. a lot of Filesystems don't handle that scenario too well. But there is a fliesystem type specifically made to address those scenarios (Lots of files in 1 folder) [00:06] Starnestommy, ?? [00:06] zyx386: when did that stop working? [00:06] Hey guys, how's it going? [00:06] today [00:06] ok. I am setting up an XP box just to run winscp now. one window to copy files from this machine to the windows, and then another to copy to the server, Because no way in hell am I bowing to this gftp crap. pffft. Add Synergy and this setup will be more productive than any other scp alternative on linux. wow. [00:06] fishscene: wat filesystem is that? BTY the folder is full of images i took myself. [00:07] zyx386: did you change anyhitng that may have caused it to stop working? [00:07] Mactaylor, let me see if I can dig it up- I don't know off the top of my head [00:07] Starnestommy, just install the firefox 3 [00:07] I have a question about my manual configuration for my wireless network. [00:07] zyx386: are you using 7.10 or 8.04? [00:07] is it reiserfs? [00:07] fde: Same process. [00:08] Starnestommy, Hardy 8.4 [00:08] jgoo: why can't you copy the files simply by connecting to the server from Places/Connect to a server? [00:08] jgoo: have you looked into sshfs ??? [00:08] jlee_OCRAP, do you ever use rails.vim ? [00:08] zyx386: does it work if you restart? [00:08] nagyv, I got a fail and a high cpu process when trying to do this in nautilus [00:08] no [00:08] erUSUL, I shall look into sshfs right now [00:09] I can't kill a foomatic process. . . [00:09] Any tips? [00:09] emma, hes gone to shops to get hard drive - his died [00:09] It's using up 100% of one processor. [00:09] Starnestommy, no [00:09] zyx386: I'm not sure how to fix it [00:09] Mactaylor, I can't seem to find any info after a quick search =\ [00:10] Anyone able to tell me why us.archive.ubuntu.com traces to London, England? [00:10] LOL? [00:10] nagyv: ssh program unexpectedly exited (when trying with correct values..) [00:10] ChaosTheory_: foomatic is related to printing... did you try to print something again? [00:10] thanks anyways [00:10] nagyv, from nautilus [00:10] Starnestommy, how ? i use your alternative if you say :) [00:10] I have to use "Roaming Mode" to connect to the internet. When I set up the manual configuration my computer will not connect to my wireless network. Does anyone have a suggestion? I set up the rest of the computers on my network, they all run XP and Vista. This, the Ubuntu, is the only box which won't connect with manual settings. [00:10] ompaul -- Okay I missed that part, I found a bug report where vim causes segfaults when running rails.vim and tab autocompletion. And jlee sounded like a programmer so I was asking. [00:10] daGoose, if they've redirected there, that could be the reason why it has been slow for a lot of people [00:10] zyx386: I don't use anything liek tracker [00:10] *like [00:10] ChaosTheory_-> try fuser -k -m pidofprocesstobekilled [00:10] yeah seems kinda ridiculous that the "US" archive would be in England [00:11] emma, the grinding noises in the hard drive gave a clue but anyway [00:11] daGoose, I agree. They may be experiencing difficulties or something =\ [00:11] amenado: I just removed the wireless printer. The process stopped. [00:11] amenado: Oh well. It wasn't working anyway. =\ [00:11] grinding noises on a hard drive..get ready for a system failure... [00:11] Can anyone help me with my wireless network problem? [00:11] daGoose: Canonical/Ubuntu is headquartered there... [00:12] Amenado, I know, right? [00:12] ompaul the drvie works but if it fails to work then data u have on it is lost unless u backed it up [00:12] !repomirror | daGoose [00:12] daGoose: 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. [00:12] Starnestommy: What do you use to search? [00:12] Y-Town: locate [00:12] and find [00:12] hmm [00:12] Krimson-> whats the issue? is the driver loaded? what chip does your wifi card have? [00:12] hello everybody ! [00:12] hi [00:12] Shadow420, ya rule 108b in hard drive behaviour, right after make backups of the backups [00:13] yeah I know that, I just was curious as the the reasoning behind having the "US" repo in London.. [00:13] *as to [00:13] ciau ^_^ [00:13] I have a notebook with VGA card VIA S3G Chrome and i can't configure correctly [00:13] Amenado, everything works fine in "Roaming Mode". This used to run Vista just fine with manual settings. I know the wireless card works and all the hardware is set correctly. I'm connected to the network now with it. I want to set a static IP and, when I try to do so through the manual config GUI, it won't connect. [00:13] erUSUL, thanks for this, I am reading http://www.techthrob.com/tech/sshfshowto.php and I would just like to double check something... is their example of mounting to /home UTTERLY INSANE, or is it just me? [00:13] daGoose: it's probably just the same WAN as archive.ubuntu.com is in London. [00:13] ompaul I have a backup of my dataon my external drive [00:13] I need some help with ubuntu [00:13] does this create its own mount root? or place the mount point exactly where you state/ [00:13] i'm using the ubuntu hardy but it can't find the driver [00:14] Whats the command line shortcut to the trash? [00:14] Starnestommy: locate seems to work well... I notice tracker is ALWAYS doing something and its ability to find is kinda questionable [00:14] Krimson-> if it was me, id get rid of the roaming mode, i dont trust how network manager manages the network [00:14] I forgot my username and password, im using gutsy gibbon [00:14] damn ubuntu rocks! everything on my laptop works with this os! [00:14] twistage: ~/.local/share/Trash/ in hardy [00:14] jrib: thanks [00:14] jgoo: sshfs mounts are typically private, so mounting inside /home is fine [00:14] jgoo: why insane it is recomended on sshfs homepage to use a user owned mount point [00:15] can somebody help me ? [00:15] Amenado, that's the problem. I want to boot the roaming mode, but when I attempt to connect using manual settings it refuses to connect. [00:15] Sebastian: can you get into recovery mode at the boot prompt? [00:15] Sebastian: reboot and select recovery mode from the grub menu. To figure out your username, type 'ls /home'. To reset your password do 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME'. Then reboot [00:15] Matias thats great to hear [00:15] !helpme | ChAcKaL [00:15] ChAcKaL: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [00:15] Hi, I have a strange problem with audio. When I open some video in Firefox, then I can't play mp3s or movies on regular players (vlc, amarok, quodlibet, totem). They just crashes. I have to close Firefox and re-open them. Is it normal? What can I do? [00:15] I set my internal IP to a free IP address on my network so it won't conflict, I've picked the correct network, etc. [00:15] jgoo: the point of fuse is and allways been to give users the hability to mount filesystems filsystem in USER space -->fuse [00:15] ChAcKaL: Please ask your question first before getting frustrated, thanks ;) [00:16] Krimson too bad, i have to leave for now....be back in a couple of hours [00:16] anyone here have ubuntu preseed help/wiki/examples etc. resources on the web? there seem to be no "ubuntu server 8.04 pxe install" web pages worth anything. [00:16] erUSUL, I mean, will you end up seeing a huge ammount of mixed in files? the poor it moot because: read: Connection reset by peer [00:16] how can i lock a terminal? like ttyl1 but still be logged in and have the processes running? [00:16] Matias, I love ubuntu too! Now if I could just get my network to work properly with it it'd be just perfect. [00:16] Amenado, thanks bud. [00:16] I get the same read: Connection reset by peer problem as I get when trying to open this from nautilus, yes, ssh and scp work from clu [00:16] cli [00:16] alright rhanks jrib [00:16] jgoo: create a mount point [00:16] Odd-rationale: you can lock screen [00:16] erUSUL, I did... [00:16] Krimson: its just perfect! i cant make any kind of complaint [00:16] amenado, hey you around? this is SeaPhor, have a sec for an O-T question? [00:16] sshfs design@ab.cd.ef.gh:/home/design ~/serverhome [00:17] jgoo: hen i'm out of ideas [00:17] jrib: i see, but not terminal?

[00:17] Odd-rationale: what's the difference? [00:17] Matias, I'm using a Thinkpad, everything works with it! My fingerprint scanner still works and everything. It's neat. [00:17] i have upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and after restart compiz cube stoped working. i have ati x1250. any tips how to check why is not working ? [00:17] Hey, fde, got a moment? [00:17] erUSUL, types in password, just like when doing nautilus... so something is causing these to get connection reset by peer. [00:17] hrm. thanks erUSUL , it was a great suggestion, and I hope it works in future [00:17] ompaul, not here! [00:17] Krimson: nice! didnt think that that feature would work too [00:17] I'm looking for a slideshow app that will load pictures from multiple directories - any suggestions? [00:17] Matias yeah I hardly have any problems with my install but I still need to fix it's giving me problem but I think I screwed it up somehow [00:17] jrib: i would have to start screen first, start my processes and lock screen? [00:18] Am having trouble getting my sata dvd drive going. Can anyone help? [00:18] Odd-rationale: yeah [00:18] jgoo: check the faq just in case http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/SshfsFaq [00:18] Krimson: please ask the entire channel, if I know the answer, I'll chime in. [00:18] Matias, Lenovo has that software on an untouchable partition, so it just runs it when I boot up anyway. [00:18] jrib: that might work, thanks! [00:18] anyone have any problems with the caps light being on? [00:18] krimson: kewl [00:18] fde, I've been asking. You were a lot of help last night, so I didn't know if you caught my question or not. I thought you might have been busy. [00:18] my caps light sometimes is on, and it types small, if I shut it off, it types caps, really odd [00:19] shadow420: what needs a fix ? to be exact? [00:19] which is the best way to have a ntfs partition automount in 8.04? [00:19] shane2peru, I used to have the problem with my old laptop. If you shut it off with caps on it comes on with caps on, even if the caps light is off. [00:19] i have upgraded to ubuntu 8.04 and after restart compiz cube stoped working. i have ati x1250. any tips how to check why is not working ? [00:19] shadow420: even my wireless intel pro something card works with this distribution... its almost too good to be true.. i tried with debian but that didnt work [00:19] Krimson: ahh, I'm sorry, I have no experience with wireless really... still using a desktop machine... [00:20] Krimson, it is really odd, I never had this problem with Gutsy or Fiesty ?? [00:20] fde: That's no problem. Thanks anyway for your time. =) [00:20] Krimson, I'm on a desktop too, and don't shut of much. [00:20] I can't mount my cdrom, can anyone help please? [00:20] joema1, do you have a disk in it? [00:20] yup [00:20] shane2peru: That is odd, but still not unheard of. I'd just ignore it. [00:21] How do I disable the transparency from an unfocused window's title bar in compiz, i'm digging through CCSM and window decorations and i can't find anything? [00:21] Krimson, yeah, I just wondered if anyone else ran into that problem === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [00:21] joema1, and it didn't auto mount? [00:21] joemal: Is the computer plugged in? (Ala' India technical support) [00:21] "The fix for the above error is very simple. All one has to do is to remove the cached host key from the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file." [00:21] shane2peru: On Hardy? [00:21] joema1, what type of disk is it? [00:21] no, I have just installed it and it's sata [00:21] Krimson, right Hardy. [00:21] have tried loyts of disks [00:21] shane2peru: I'll keep a look-out for it. I haven't noticed anything like that yet. === Christina18_ is now known as needhelp [00:21] joema1, ooooh, you mean hard drive, not cdrom? [00:22] you can just use the mount and umount commands cant ya ? [00:22] Krimson, ok, thanks. [00:22] no, dvd drive [00:22] joemal: Your DVD drive is SATA? [00:22] I don't seem to get hangovers any more the next morning---is that good or bad? What does it mean? Fuck do I need to stop drinking or drink more to see if I get hung over? [00:22] yup [00:22] I have set vim's pastetoggle to CTRL+F5. While in screen, that shortcut doesn't work anymore. Any advice [00:22] joema1, ooooh, a SATA DVD drive [00:22] yup [00:22] extor, language please [00:22] extor: Please watch your language so we can keep this family friendly. =D [00:22] extor: This is the Ubuntu support channel, please watch the language and read the topic [00:22] how can i enable speed step for ibm t6x?

[00:23] sorry [00:23] joema1, did it have a jumper on it? Perhaps it isn't setup right? [00:23] !offtopic | extor [00:23] extor: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

Although I can type in the xchat box (where I am typing now!) ctrl-z doesn't work! I wonder what ctrl-z supression technology they are using [00:23] no jumpers on sata [00:23] is anyone having problems with java in hardy? I installed ubuntu restricted extras, but whenever i have a page that needs java, firefox prompts me for the plugin [00:23] they have individual ports [00:23] .... [00:23] extor: This isn't the place to ask that, but in reference to your question it's because you've built up a higher tolerance. Drink more to get a buzz. [00:23] hhow do i start a new channel? [00:23] joema1, I just installed a sata hdd and it had a jumper on it, I removed it to get it to work. [00:24] Burning: /join ##new-channel [00:24] I guess ubuntu doesnt really make a vodka...otherwise it would be on topic [00:24] hello how can i capture the errors from command line besides using > out.txt? [00:24] ok, mine has place for jumpers but nothing in [00:24] can anyone here help me uninstall a program? [00:24] extor. Correct, although we do have WINE. [00:24] Hey I have some questions [00:24] extor, no, ubuntu only does wine. :) lol [00:24] <|Aaron|> whitt you have to download "java runtime environment" from java.sun.com [00:24] extor: Please use www.google.com to find a more appropriate IRC chat to ask those questions in. =) [00:24] tmapj: sudo aptitude purge [00:24] has anyone having problems with flash [00:24] how do i append stuff to boot.ini on windows xp [00:24] this is to install ubuntu [00:24] joema1, and it does have a power cable plugged in correct?

[00:25] |Aaron|, do i need to uninstall the java from synaptic first? I did download from java.sun.com also [00:25] fde: Does that uninstall everything to do with the program? Such as if it leaves residual data (e-mails or accounts, for example). [00:25] had a look in bios, what top set up? [00:25] what to set up? [00:25] ompaul, ok, tell me if this is off topic, i had my nick registered, password and all, i try to log in today and says its in use, but its not in the list?

[00:25] Krimson: or /usr/local for that matter. [00:25] how can I output terminal information to a text file????????????? [00:25] <|Aaron|> no you shouldnt have to uninstall it from synaptic [00:25] fde: that didn't work [00:25] joema1, hmm, that is odd, I"m not sure, I would think that it should just detect it automagically, what brand is it? [00:25] Anacranom, ghost your account. [00:26] Anacranom, it is that is for #freenode [00:26] fde: Thanks [00:26] Starnestommy, Thank you! [00:26] Ok so I can find the fastest repo if I am in X with software sources, but what about if I am at the shell, any way to do it ? [00:26] KindOne, there is a website that uses java to upload photos [00:26] fde: that didnt work [00:26] Anacranom: also, next time, questions about freenode should really go to #freenode [00:26] whitt, oo [00:26] I want to replace all openoffice.org icons, what's the easiest way to do this?

[00:26] shane2peru: it brings up something about not finding cdrom in fstab when I try to mount in terminal [00:26] does anyone know if flash will work with the new ubuntu 64 [00:26] anyone know of a slideshow application that will look recursively through directories? [00:27] So the basic mount command for a mp would be sudo mount ///.... ? [00:27] Starnestommy, thats why asked another on to join me privately :-)) [00:27] joema1, is this a second cdrom, is there more than one? [00:27] shane:like this? [00:27] tmapj: It'd be helpful if you gave me errors etc... also, if you compiled the source, and remove the source dir, but didn't use checkinstall then I can't help you. [00:27] fde the command you gave me wont uninstall the program because I dont know what the name of it is [00:27] shane: this the only one [00:27] joema1, then hit tab, it will finish my name [00:27] shane2peru: ok [00:27] tmapj: What program? [00:28] anyone know how to record a command line session? [00:28] Krimson: freenet [00:28] ouellettesr: script [00:28] joema1, was there one installed before?

[00:31] firefox [00:31] tmapj: No one can help you if you don't have the source directory around still. [00:31] what does nice mean in system monitor? [00:31] fde: thanks! [00:31] I get a similar problem, but usually just ignore it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. [00:32] <|Aaron|> whitt, are you not getting my PMs? [00:32] how do i find what the source directory is? [00:32] tmapj - what program would you like to uninstall? [00:32] I don't understand why is that happening [00:32] what is command to detect ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7196 ? it is x1250 but it dont get detected [00:32] tmapj: the box that you typed 'make install' in... you need to type 'make uninstall' and hope it has it defined. [00:32] emma! [00:32] hi tmapj [00:32] emma i want to uninstall freenet [00:32] okay [00:32] shane2peru: could my mobo, it doesn't get along with ubuntu very well: Asus a8v-mx [00:32] did you use checkinstall to install it? [00:32] thats the bad thing of my nick :/ [00:32] Pici, im trying to capture the errors from a program that is segfaulting, I do script nghost.txt, then I run the program "nghost" the screen fills up with errorsm I have to hit enter to get back to prompt, then I try to view the file but its empty. Any ideas? [00:32] sudo apt-get remove freenet [00:33] joema1, I'm not sure, I was going to tell you to try sudo lspci but even with the output I'm not sure what to do after that [00:33] I don't think freenet is in the repositories. I think he must have complied it. [00:33] Off to eat. Later guys. [00:33] can someone direct me to a good tutorial to install earthmate LT-40 in gusty, i have looked and looked to find nothing....help would be gr8 getting rdy to go on vacation [00:33] shane2peru: do you want me to try that? [00:33] tmapj: This is why you _never_ install things that aren't in .deb form. [00:33] joema1, hmm, I"m not a hardware guy, don't know much about that. [00:33] Later Krimson [00:33] emma it ruined my browser, all my bookmarks and addons are gone [00:33] Every time I restart my computer without actually turning power off completely (ie, restart comment, etc), I get a grub read error in place of "loading stage 1.5". Does anyone know why this is? [00:33] hi [00:33] and so is my tools menu [00:33] joema1, you can see if your old cdrom is still listed, perhaps two of them would show up, [00:33] anyone here autoinstalling ubuntu using preseed over pxe? [00:33] tmapj: cd to where the sources are, then run sudo make uninstall [00:33] ouellettesr: Ah, thats a bit different. Try: nghost 2> file.txt [00:33] tmapj - There is probably a backup copy of your bookmarks at least. [00:33] !earthmate [00:33] Factoid earthmate not found [00:33] does anyone know how to run the xmms2 graphic interface ? [00:34] shane2peru: tried the hardware guys, weren't too helpfull, listed where? [00:34] yeah i know is it possible [00:34] emma where can i find that [00:34] !google earth | chris_ [00:34] chris_: Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [00:34] Is the boot partition only needed if you want to multiboot ? [00:34] joema1, from that command: sudo lspci [00:34] im having trouble with drivers i belive [00:34] Pici that worked thanks [00:34] FluxD: it's only needed if you're using an older BIOS, if I remember correctly [00:35] ryoohki: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install [00:35] Starnestommy, so its not really needed? [00:35] i have a device hooked up to my computer, the device is serial, and i have a serial to usb adapter comming from it, so its plugging into a usb port, and the program im using this device with wont autofind the device, it asks me what port its on, how can i find this out to enter it in? [00:35] FluxD: not usually [00:35] shane2peru: there is an awefull lot of stuff in sudo lspci. I will paste it somewhere [00:35] thx Starnestommy [00:35] when i build a package with dpkg-buildpackage and install it, ubuntu always wants to re-update to the binary package, how to change this behavior? [00:35] joema1, what do you get when you run in the terminal: sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 [00:35] joema1, pastebin.com [00:36] rio: increment the version using dch -i [00:36] Hello there. I need someone familiar with file recovery tools please! I lost all my files and backup files on a mouseclick!! A cairo dock thrashbin applet deleted things in "." which means everywhere that matters [00:36] fde: you know, i found that webpage, and others like it, but they never detail to critical preseed/kickstart stage as if it didn't matter [00:36] except system files [00:36] shane2peru: give me 5, I have to reset my router [00:36] joema1, ok [00:36] S.O.S [00:37] anyone? [00:37] Starnestommy: how do i find out where the sources are? [00:37] irc, let me check I know how to do that, I have seen a few guides [00:37] irc: you need to restore from backups. There isn't a reliable way to recover. In any case, see: [00:37] ryoohki: try /newserver irc.debian.org and /j #debian-boot ... it supports kickstart files. [00:37] !recover > irc (read the private message from ubottu) [00:37] tmapj: I'm not sure [00:37] tmapj, go to the place where you untared the tar.gz and in that directory type: sudo make uninstall [00:37] does anyone know how to run the xmms graphic interface? i have installed it by writing sudo apt-get install xmms2 but it doesnt appear in the menues... [00:37] jrib, actually there are some pretty good methods [00:37] jrib, especially if the hdd isn't bad lol :) [00:37] fde: thanks! [00:37] jrib: dch? [00:37] shane2peru: emphasis on "reliable" :) [00:37] shane2peru: yes please [00:37] I need help with restoring the owner an permission of what I have here when I did a ls /home/mystuff/ -l ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11205/ [00:37] jrib: ah, devscripts [00:37] ryoohki: Those are the guys that wrote debian-installer, which is used in Debian and Ubuntu - and Ubuntu hires a prominent d-i developer, so they should know how to help. [00:37] rio: yeah === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [00:38] I've copied some files to /usr/share/pixmaps/OOo and when I go to change the icon for a program and reference the path, it doesn't show the right icon.... any ideas? [00:38] emma I dont know where i untarred it. [00:38] !recover [00:38] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [00:38] jrib, right, I have done that before, I have been trying to recover my data off a very badly failing hdd. :) [00:38] tmapj you are not sure where you untarred it? [00:38] yes [00:38] try locate [00:39] emma: he would need to update the locate database for locate to find it [00:39] emma: nothing [00:39] help installing or finding a link to a good tutorial for the earthmate lt-40 please im gettin kinda mad concedering the price i paid for the device. [00:39] My sound drivers stop working from time to time requiring me to restart my computer. Everything works fine, and then Amarok reports that xine couldn't find an output device or something like that. [00:39] shane2peru:have you gotten any success so far? [00:39] jrib wouldnt 'locate / ' work? [00:39] irc, you are going to need some hdd space for recovery, here is the web page I used: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery?highlight=(recover)|(data) [00:39] okay try: find [00:39] tmapj, emma: it may be easier to just grab the source again [00:39] Pacman-Luke: no, are you thinking of 'find' maybe? [00:39] mm [00:39] irc, I have recovered data off a deleted partition before, but it has been years. I'm using this page to recover data from a failing hdd [00:40] jrib: will the new source dir know about the previous make install though to successfully make uninstall? [00:40] Can someone help here?: I need help with restoring the owner and permissions of what I have here when I did a ls /home/mystuff/ -l ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11205/ [00:40] shane2peru, failing in what aspects? [00:40] to my tries with locate i've used / to specify the root directory and it found what i was looking for [00:40] Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini. what does that mean im not using wubi [00:40] can anyone help me with running the xmms2 graphic style ? [00:40] Can someone help here?: I need help with restoring the owner and permissions of what I have here when I did a ls /home/mystuff/ -l ... http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11205/ [00:40] cant play bbc radio anymore?? [00:40] whoops [00:40] so I take it there is no way to find fastest repo from shell other that to trace them out? [00:40] fde: as long as he runs ./configure the same as before, sure [00:40] shane2peru: ok thanks. I have plenty of space on an external hd. Can you stay online to help me out for a while? [00:40] irc, you are going to have to do your homework on this, and don't go writing to the disk if possible. [00:41] irc I think we are getting ready to go. [00:41] what is opening real audio by default now [00:41] joetheodd, failing, it isn't even recognized, and mounting it with ddrescue is iffy. :) [00:41] emma: fde: here is where i installed it from http://freenetproject.org/download.html [00:41] eboyjr: It's just a few files, you can probably do it by hand most easily. [00:41] i have fixed a bug that affects all people with a certain canon camera, can i tell the libgphoto2 maintainer to patch the version that ships with ubuntu? [00:41] eboyjr: sudo chown -R eboyjr /home/ [00:41] shachaf: I just don't know the commands to run. [00:41] joetheodd, it still spins, but reading it is a real bugger. :) [00:42] Append c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" to c:\boot.ini. what does that mean im not using wubi??? [00:42] shane2peru: alright. I'll try my best [00:42] shane2peru: http://pastebin.ca/1013305 [00:42] i did the command line installation [00:42] tmapj, try to find where you untared it. Try this: at the terminal type ls|less [00:42] fde: Thanks... would I also chmod with 664? [00:42] irc, I may be back later [00:42] or 644? [00:42] shane2peru, that's what I was going to suggest, if you can find the device itself then I'd dd the entire device rawly over to a similar sized hd, but then again I'm no expert [00:42] Is Ctrl+Alt+Backspace the same as "Log out"? [00:42] hola, hay alguien que hable español? [00:42] shane2peru, but if you can't even mount it then I don't know what to say. [00:42] !es | Yulo [00:42] Yulo: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:42] !english ! Yulo [00:42] Factoid english ! yulo not found [00:42] shane2peru: not sure why it does that, drops connection, no web but still had irc, any way to more pressing problems [00:42] redwhitewaldo, no its for restarting x server [00:42] ok, gracias [00:43] de nada [00:43] tmapj, you should see files and directories. Look in those directories by typing: cd and then do the ls|less again and so on. Find where you untared it so that we can run: sudo make uninstall in that directory [00:43] joetheodd, no, it only reads for about 20 minutes then quits being readable, even with ice packs under it. [00:43] emma: ok! i found the freenet folder. what do i do now? can i just delete the whole folder? [00:43] Hi y'all. I'm running Wubi 8.04 and I'm trying to load the b43 drivers. Can someone point me to a .deb file that I can download and put on a USB drive so that when I reboot to Ubuntu, I can just install it with dpkg? [00:43] eboyjr: no need. [00:43] tmapj, while you are looking for that, I will try to find where your backup bookmarks are. [00:43] FluxD: thanks [00:43] tmapj, no don't do that. [00:43] ok [00:43] Howdy [00:43] I need some help. [00:43] shane2peru, perhaps read a gig or two, shut down, and then start over with gigs 3 and 4, etc? i'm pretty sure you can config the params for dd to do that [00:43] If someone doesn't mind helping. [00:43] me too just ask [00:44] !ask | RobbieRob [00:44] RobbieRob: 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. :-) [00:44] fde: Because now I have to call sudo ls -l to acces the permissions information... It says permission denied [00:44] look inside of that directory by cd and then ls|less [00:44] shane2peru, that'd be painful to do but it should work, if you don't find yourself going mad first. [00:44] fde: It only works when I call sudo [00:44] eboyjr: yes, because your user doesn't own those files... my command will have you own it. [00:44] i'm using a console application that spits out many files, but only want files that are *.jpg, or *.bmp and over 1mb in size. what / how would I pipe the output of a program to filter down the output to a filesystem like this? I'm trying to recover some damage data, and sudo foremost -i /dev/sda -o /pathtorecoveryfolder spews out way more than that folder has room for. any ideas / help appreciated :) [00:44] joetheodd, actually ddrescue does a better job and picks up where it left off, and doesn't stop at a failure, it is a great program [00:44] tmapj, do you see a file called 'configure' in there? [00:44] joetheodd, I would be crazy after the first few times lol [00:45] no i dont [00:45] helowo: you can use find to specify files of a certain size with name matching a certain regex [00:45] fde: After that command, it still doesnt work [00:45] shane2peru, what's iffy about ddrescue then? It's just not working too well? [00:45] joema1, WOW that is one looooong file! [00:45] emma: if he found the directory where he compiled freenet from, he just needs to 'make uninstall' not run configure again [00:45] eboyjr: what is the error? [00:45] tmapj -- you need to find and then go to the extracted source folder. [00:45] jrib: aah [00:45] I have been on linux two days, Like it alot but it seems i am having LOTS of sound issues. I have downloaded every pack I seem to come across on the forums but nothing has helped me. Totem seems to work ok but everything that has to do with JACK seems to be not working. I have been playing with settings all day. If someone would help me I would be greatly apprieative. [00:45] got a quick question last night i went to bed with laptop on and i must have powered offf after battery died, but i noticed that my screen is dim now.. how do i adjust it? [00:45] fde - right but i think he's still trying to find that directory. [00:46] joetheodd, I only have about 20 minutes of read time, and then trying to get the disk connected again takes about 3 hours [00:46] shane2peru: and I don't even know if that is all of it, lost my other comands from the top [00:46] fde: Just of bunch of: ls: cannot access /var/www/web: Permission denied [00:46] fde: emma: what do i need to find? [00:46] fde -- I was just mentioning configure to give some sign if it was the extracted source directory or not. [00:46] shane2peru, ah, so the insanity factor again? :P [00:46] emma: ahh, ok you're just trying to ensure it is the correct folder :) [00:46] fde - Indeed! [00:46] fde: Heh, you look busy :) === Yaazu is now known as Rangoon [00:46] joetheodd, I have been working on it for over a week here and there, recently I haven't been able to even detect it with fdisk -l it isn't there. [00:47] eboyjr: add your user to /etc/group under 'www-data' and log out and back in. [00:47] where do i go to adjust screen brightness? [00:47] tmapj, hold on one second please. [00:47] joema1, man, I'm not sure, probably should pass that to the forums and see if someone more knowledgable can help [00:47] ok [00:47] hey guys, me and my dad both have ubuntu, and we wont to be able to share files between the machines, i have heard that nfs is the way to do this but when looking into it talks about servers, would i have to have an nfs server on each machine to have file acces from both machines? [00:47] is there a harddrive benchmark tool for linux [00:47] hinogi, in Sound Preferences, what is "Audio Conferencing -> Sound Capture ", and what should it be set to? I click Test and there's no beep [00:47] joema1, we are getting ready to leave, and I'm just not sure, that is one serious amount of things connected to that pc. [00:48] shane2peru: I have had it on the forums for over a week, and no reply. Not one, that's why I tried here [00:48] joema1, I wish I knew more so as to help you better, sorry. [00:48] joema1, try this out of curiosity, ahhh [00:48] shane2peru: Sweet as man, thanks for your time. [00:48] bod_: yes, 'server' isn't as big of a deal on Unix as it is on Windows though... you're using a server if you're using X right now :) [00:48] joema1, I was going to tell you to boot into a liveCD lol [00:48] shane2peru: ahhhhh [00:48] bod_: to provide files, you need to have nfs-server installed though. [00:49] joema1, perhaps you can setup a live USB stick and boot into that and see if it detects your cdrom? [00:49] shane2peru: I can get about halfway with a live boot, so it definatly works [00:49] fde, ok, can i just install that from synaptic? [00:49] hey bod_ does this help? http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/SAMBA_Filesharing (its a cool samba video) [00:49] fde: emma: theres a file called uninstaller.jar [00:49] joema1, really, you can boot off the cdrom, that is a very good sign! [00:49] Mimi, not really cause i have no windows machine, but thanks for the thouht ;~) [00:49] tmapj, that looks promising. [00:49] joema1, you have a lot of hardware setup, and it looks like a very complex setup. [00:49] jrib: reading various man pages, it seems something like foremost -i /dev/sda -o | find -regex pattern '.*jpg.' -size >>/pathtorecoveryfolder might be correct? [00:49] how do i execute it [00:50] joema1, ok, gotta run [00:50] bod_: yes... you'll see 'nfs-user-server' and 'nfs-kernel-server' ... I'd recommend using the former as it won't crash the kernel if there are issues :) [00:50] cya [00:50] shane2peru: half boot, I can get the splash screen, and some other stuff, but not all the way [00:50] shane2peru: thanks [00:50] fde, whats the difference? [00:50] joema1, no prob. [00:50] bod_, you dont need windows to have a samba server but ill let you know if i learn any other ways to share files in ubuntu [00:50] bod_: one is in userspace, the other in kernel space.... [00:50] helowo: maybe I misread your question. I don't think find reads from stdin. It just searches a directory [00:51] oh [00:51] dangit :) [00:51] Mimi, i no its just samba is generally only used for *nix --> windows file sharing, but thanks for looking, i appreciate it [00:51] bod_: I'm not sure how to explain that, in kernel would be more efficient though... but it would be more like your NIC driver than an application, so for obvious reasons, can cause more issues... [00:51] fde, i meant performance wise? theres no plus/minus side to either one? [00:51] bod_: around 80% of all windows crashes are due to drivers, as an example. [00:51] fde: I dont have a www-date group [00:51] data [00:51] can anyone please have a look at my sudo lspci and make any sense of it?http://pastebin.ca/1013305 [00:51] bod_: Of course there is, but you likely won't notice. [00:52] helowo: pastebin what the outpuf of the foremost command looks like [00:52] eboyjr: www-data ... look harder, it's a default group. [00:52] how do i extract the path of a file given the inode? [00:52] fde, ok, so user server it is then ,.,. is that the only packagge i need? [00:52] hinogi, in Sound Preferences, what is "Audio Conferencing -> Sound Capture ", and what should it be set to? I click Test and there's no beep [00:52] Howdy everyone. I am in need of some sound help. I have been on linux for about 2 days and totem works fine and firefox streaming works for about 40 or 50 minutes then it suddenly turns off. It seems like all the applications that require JACK seem to be hte ones that wont work such as IDJC, WINE, DJplay and a couple others. My sound card is an INTEL Sigmatel STAC92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver. [00:52] joema1, What problem are you having? ( note sudo is not required for lspci ) [00:52] Hello all.. May anyone tell me if it's possible to extract .7z files using ubuntu?? if so, what program do I need? [00:52] jrib: ok, cool. it'll be a minute to get that started on another computer and i'll get that over here... [00:52] Mimi, theres no beep with sound capture because thats input not output [00:53] LaneLimited, 7zip is open source, there is a version available for Ubuntu [00:53] Jordan_U: Can't mount new sata dvd drive [00:53] emma you still there? [00:53] bod_: yup... you should be able to add shares to /etc/fstab after. [00:53] helowo: by the way, 'man foremost' seems to let you specify the type with -t [00:53] fde: emma: theres a file called uninstaller.jar [00:53] LaneLimited: i prefer xarchive [00:53] So... I want to take 2 HD's and create a RAID1 volume and mount that to my system.... anybody know how I can do that? [00:53] tmapj: jar uninstaller.jar [00:53] fde, ok il do some more reading, thanks dude [00:53] I'm cat'ing an html file to mail, but when it shows up on my mail client all I see is the html source. anyone know what I'm doing wrong? [00:53] tmapj: try that via sudo if it doesn't work [00:53] anyone know of a group for kernel development? [00:53] bod_ ok i ask because im trying to record What I Hear with sound recorder, and its not recording anything, so i thought it might be related... thanks [00:54] i created 4 partitions, i managed to install xp pro in one partition, server 2008 in the second, and ubuntu in the third partition. i could dual boot between xp and server normally before without any problems, but after installing ubuntu i'm unable to do so, although the partitions still show up in ubuntu showing that they contain the system files for those operating systems. it only allows... [00:54] ...me to boot into ubuntu. does anyone know how to fix this? [00:54] Mimi, run alsamixer, make sure mic isnt muted [00:54] bod_: either way, it'll be faster than Samba as a worst case scenario, and it'll obide by Unix permissions, so you're on the right track :) [00:54] bod_ i dont want to record from my mic, i want to record What I Hear on my computer [00:54] peanuter: thank you where do i get it? [00:54] tmapj, one thing that occurs to me, since I don't have Freenet myself is maybe in the application itself, like in the GUI for it some place, there is an option for uninstalling. [00:54] LaneLimited: sudo apt-get install xarchive [00:54] fde, never run/thought of/tried to get a server/file sharing thing oing so this should be interesting [00:54] jrib: wow, i couldn't get a man page on the usbboot i'm using and thought it didn't exist... then i realised it was removed to save space. thx for pointing out that very glaring oversight! [00:55] helowo: http://linux.die.net/man/1/foremost [00:55] peanuter: thanks! [00:55] * helowo hides face [00:55] can someone help me with this? I am overwhelmed!! http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [00:55] no problem mate [00:55] yeah, i saw that right after you said that :) [00:55] I just bought a new wacom bamboo fun tablet for use with gimp. When I plugged it in, followed a tutorial, and rebooted, my screen was dead. Nothing I did would fix it. Could someone help me? [00:55] Hi y'all. I'm running Wubi 8.04 and I'm trying to load the b43 drivers. Can someone point me to a .deb file that I can download and put on a USB drive so that when I reboot to Ubuntu, I can just install it with dpkg? [00:55] panicking acktually [00:55] bod_: It is really easy, you'll likely wonder why you put up with so much on Windows/Mac :) [00:55] Mimi, so you want to record any ouput sound,.,.ok ,.,,. i wouldnt no where to begguin,.,.never thought about it that way ,.,. what device are you using to capture the sound? [00:55] bod_, mmmmm...the laptop's ... internal card I guess ^_^;; [00:56] sigmatel [00:56] Mimi does your sound work? [00:56] bod_: just make sure you mount things soft... hard mounts will cause problems... (hard means it persists, soft means if the network connection goes down, it doesn't matter) [00:56] Hey guys, I'm trying to extract the file path of a file given only the inode. Anyone know how to do this? [00:56] holy crap, this channel is sheer chaos!! [00:56] yes ofcourse RobbieRob [00:56] fde, im lovin linux, switched just after xmas and in a few months i have to do a microsoft comptia+ course,.,.lol,.,. that will bore me senseless [00:56] I have a sigmatel and nothing works except totem and firefox. [00:56] can anyone tell me what power management changes have been made to hardy in the last week? my machinr won't reboot any more\ [00:56] ugh: open source community at work ; [00:56] :) [00:57] indeed [00:57] RobbieRob, are you using alsa mixer in sound preferences? if not, change it to alsa ;p [00:57] howNowBrownSow: use find [00:57] fde, i dunno what these hard/soft mounts are so i guess il end up learning the hard way -- heh [00:57] Hi. I have a "Trust" mouse, and I installed the very latest evdev driver to make all mouse buttons work. It has 9 buttons, but the only ones that became active through the evdev driver were the horizontal scroll buttons. There are still two more buttons that don't give any output in xev. any idea how I could get the to work? [00:57] sylvar, I think that the b43 drivers come installed with Ubuntu, I can give you a link to the firmware files which you can just copy to /lib/firmware which should get things working [00:57] RobbieRob, have you compiled the drivers from source maybe (the alsa ones) [00:57] RobbieRob, there's a fix on ubuntu foruns, you just download this .deb and it fixes your sound (in most cases) [00:57] I get this error when I select ALSA "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback." [00:57] bod_: you'll learn in your docs, I'm just providing advice :) [00:57] Jordan_U: thanks, I'd appreciate that [00:57] I have done everything. [00:57] Lol. [00:57] It seems. [00:57] :( yeah I know the feeling lol [00:58] is it easy or messy to remove pulseaudio? [00:58] fde, cheers dude, you'll be my first reference point after things go wrong, lol,.,. do u no how to turn the system beep off? === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [00:58] I have atleast run through every sticky there is. [00:58] Jordan_U: bad thing currently, ensure he doesn't have b43 and bcm43 loaded at the same time, and don't forget the -fwcutter packages... [00:58] And the 13 page Sound Urgent post. [00:58] Hey all [00:58] RobbieRob, have u asked in #alsa ? [00:58] hi doubleoo [00:58] Do you know if Ubuntu has fixed the bugs in 8.04 with ipw3945 [00:58] Nope. Let me head over there. [00:58] tyring to multiboot with ubuntu, but it doesn't let me load the other OSes --HELP-- [00:58] Thanks for the tip [00:58] hi douglas_* [00:59] hi [00:59] hi [00:59] tmapj, any luck yet? [00:59] NO [00:59] >:( [00:59] Jordan_U: Just blacklist either or (b43 is newer) ... telling you because I don't want to confuse him getting help from a bunch of people :) [00:59] tmapj okay let's do something that might bring more satisfaction for a moment then. [00:59] could someone help me? My wacom table killed my monitor :( [00:59] peanuter: This program is not letting me extract a .7z file [00:59] ok yes please help me find my bookmarks [00:59] Wanted: Project management software [00:59] tmapj, go to places>home folder [00:59] hello all [01:00] there [01:00] im there [01:00] tmapj, go to View and select "show hidden files" [01:00] i am having issues with the music pausing whenever I switch users, so I changed my sound settings all to ALSA Architecture, and it will play my music whenever my wife is logged in on her side, but as soon as the song ends, it logs both of us out [01:00] fde, can u link me to a recent nfs howto -- all the ones i find are outdated and i dont really trustthem [01:00] any body know a software like Microsoft Project? [01:00] for linux [01:00] Rangoon, is it giving you any error message [01:00] I know ipw3945 was missing in 8.04 [01:00] A month ago [01:00] Has that been resolved? [01:00] ok and now? [01:00] tmapj, now you will see folders with a period in front of them, like .folder. Go to .mozilla and open it [01:00] No one is active in #alsa. [01:00] :-\ [01:00] yes i see them [01:01] douglas_, its never going to be resolved [01:01] bloodrock: no, it just asks me which version of ubuntu i want to load, doesn't give me the option of booting the other OSes [01:01] tmapj, now click on the firefox directory in the .mozilla directory [01:01] bod_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo ... http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 [01:01] RobbieRob, just hang around in there for a bit -- someone will turn up eventually [01:01] usser: i'm yet to find a linux distro that has good support for it [01:01] douglas_, ipw was substituted for iwl3945 an opensource driver [01:01] sylvar, http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/b43.tar.gz unpack that to /lib/firmware ( when you are done you should have a directory /lib/firmware/b43 containing a bunch of firmware *.fw files ) [01:01] Jordan_U: did that paste bin mean anything to you? [01:01] bod_: read the first one first, that is the official guide, then see if the others are clearer etc [01:01] Eye. [01:01] Aye* [01:01] tmapj, now in the firefox directory there should be a folder that looks like: wb46.. default.. something like that. Do you see that? [01:01] Rangoon, did you load the other os's b4 or after ubuntu [01:01] yes [01:02] tmapj, open that folder [01:02] bloodrock: before [01:02] wait [01:02] can i edit profiles.ini? [01:02] fde, i read the first one,. its old and bad -- im gonna rewrite when ive set mine up [01:02] I am just so excited to have linux, just want to get everything switched over including my DJ hobbie. [01:02] because there is a freenet profile and [01:02] hi all. I upgrade ubuntu to 8.04 and I can't put resolution to 1024x768.. what can I do? [01:02] a regular profile [01:02] I already switched my business over. [01:02] tmapj, let's concentrate on getting back the bookmarks first eh? [01:02] fde, thanks for the links btw i thinkil use the forum post === Rangoon_ is now known as shig [01:02] how do i change the regular profile [01:02] bod_: alright, anyone can edit those guides... if they don't like your edits, they'll just role it back === ballzee is now known as Sinister [01:02] Jordan_U++ thanks! [01:02] ok emma what did you want me to look for [01:02] tmapj, did you open the folder that looks like mb46... [01:03] !fixres > k0p (read the private message from ubottu) [01:03] tmapj, in that folder there should be another folder that is like, "bookmarksbackup" [01:03] tmapj, do you see it? [01:03] jrib, thanks a lot! [01:03] fde, i work with the wiki team and they always want people to touch up ither peoples work and marke bad ones for deletion and things [01:04] emma i cant find the folder you're talking about [01:04] hello all, any body know any project management software for ubuntu [01:04] hm i thought you said you saw it. [01:04] does anyone in here use wine? [01:04] shig did the other 2 os's dual boot [01:04] !anyone | chris_ [01:04] chris_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:04] chris_, yes [01:05] <|Aaron|> chris_, i use wine [01:05] tmapj, in the firefox folder there should be two files called pluginreg.dat and profiles.ini and also another folder called something like.. default... [01:05] tmapj, do you see anything like that? [01:05] chris_, theres alot of people in #winehq that use wine aswell [01:05] bloodrock: yeah [01:05] question concerning windows dlls to improve compatibility does it at all? [01:05] shig are all partitians on 1 hd [01:05] some apps crash X on me [01:05] Why is everyone always so rude on the forums? [01:06] bloodrock: yep [01:06] anyone know if OSSEC can protect samba also ? [01:06] after upgrade to 8.04 ati x1250 is not detected in system anymore. how to get it detected again ? [01:06] <|Aaron|> chris_, I recommend going to channel #winehq too [01:06] emma [01:06] Yes? [01:06] emma i found the bookmarks backup folder [01:06] and can anyone tell me if this looks like a security disaster: http://pastebin.com/m3ac4152e [01:06] right ill ask there then [01:06] tmapj hurray!! [01:06] ty [01:06] <|Aaron|> np [01:06] theres a bunch of backup files with dates [01:06] Bod_, Any other channels you can recommend for my Sound problem? [01:06] fde, is this package necessarry? nfs-common portmap [01:06] tmapj, see we are getting some place now :) [01:07] shig did you put the grub loader on the linux partition [01:07] :) [01:07] usually people who use linux are rude to people who are rude [01:07] bod_: that is 2 packages... and yes [01:07] <|Aaron|> RobbieRob, sorry if you already stated your problem, but would you mind repeating it? [01:07] bloodrock: i don't know, sorry i only installed, i'm a noob [01:07] RobbieRob, #alsa #ubuntu #letRobbieThinkForASecondAndGetACupOfTeaThingsWillEventuallyGetSorted -- sorry, can onlt think of those [01:07] tmapj, okay so pick the one that is newest I guess, right click on it, and copy it. [01:08] fde, ok, cheers [01:08] later dropping to wineHQ [01:08] ty for ur patience [01:08] usually grub will auto detect any other os's [01:08] <|Aaron|> lol@bod_ [01:08] chris_, I went on the forums as asked if someone could help me out with getting my Sound Recorder to record what my computer is playing and he said I was ranting, and said "Good luck with your "problem" " --- well, its obviously a problem for me.... [01:08] ;~) [01:08] ok i copied and pasted it to my desktop [01:09] gnome-update-manager keeps hanging when i hit "install updates" i'm guessing that this is a know issue? it likely has something to do with my recent upgrade to hardy [01:09] any work-arounds? === R`j is now known as Apatyh === Apatyh is now known as Apathy [01:09] i'd like to get this updates [01:09] cpufreq doesnt change the cpu frenquence sometimes [01:09] Hey Mimi [01:09] shig so you might have put ms boot loader on wrong partition and grub loaded not seeing the boot loaders for other s's [01:09] in hardy (amd64) [01:09] Hello RobbieRob [01:09] Okay now go back up one level from the folder you got the backups from. [01:09] You could always purchase a double male audio cable. [01:10] Run it from your heaphone jack to your microphone jack. [01:10] tmapj, do you see a file in there called bookmarks.html ? [01:10] is this boot.ini file ok? [01:10] [boot loader] [01:10] timeout=30 [01:10] default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [01:10] [operating systems] [01:10] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect [01:10] Itaku: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:10] c:\grldr="Install Ubuntu" [01:10] bloodrock: could you explain please? [01:10] Mimi: Demanding and expecting things from a community of individuals is really not going to get you anywhere... it puts off anyone that might wish to help. You aren't paying for support, we are simply people that enjoy helping, it makes us feel bad when we can't, so you should avoid such things as much as possible. [01:10] hey does anyone know how to install restricted drivers? I want to use the restricted broadcom driver for my wireless card [01:10] yep emma [01:10] is that ok? [01:10] fde: DEMAND?! I asked nicely. I'm not pointing a gun on his head and saying he's got to help me. [01:10] what do i do [01:11] !pastebin>Itaku [01:11] Itaku: #windows would know more about that ... === chrissy is now known as chrissy_ [01:11] what??? [01:11] tmapj - okay then first open that and see if that is empty or what's wrong with it. That's supposed to be your bookmarks. [01:11] emma i found bookmarks.html [01:11] Mimi: acting hard done by and stating reasons why you NEED something to people you're not paying is not how you get things done. [01:11] fde you dont have to tell me to be patient, please, ive been using Linux since the ugly red hat times. I know to be patient, trust me. [01:11] my restricted driver manager doesnt load ot catch the fact that I need a driver for the wireles card [01:11] tmapj - click on it and see if your bookmarks are in there. [01:12] tmapj, if they are not in there then we will get rid of it and we will replace it with the backup [01:12] Hi. I have a "Trust" mouse, and I installed the very latest evdev driver to make all mouse buttons work. It has 9 buttons, but the only ones that became active through the evdev driver were the horizontal scroll buttons. There are still two more buttons that don't give any output in xev. any idea how I could get the to work? [01:12] fde: I stated I have a problem, and I said "if anyone can help, i apreciate it" . he responded with "youre funny. good luck with your so called problem" [01:12] they're not in there emma [01:12] fde how was i being rude? [01:12] tmapj - okay then right click on it and send it to the trash. [01:12] emma wait [01:12] anyone installed 'dansguardian' on hairy? [01:12] I meant hardy [01:12] is it posible to detect ati card in 8.04 ? [01:13] i have to reinstall FF because my Tools menu button is gone [01:13] Mimi: I didn't read the thread, I'm only trying to explain what the issue might have been... could be you simply encountered a CoC violation and should report it and see if he sticks around. [01:13] tmapj, what does that have to do with getting your bookmarks back? [01:13] tmapj, let's concentrate on this until we finish it :) [01:13] Mimi, fde, not helping anyone with the argument/discussion -- if you want to continue it take it somewhere else,. play nicely [01:13] I'm having trouble setting up my hp networked printer, I ran sudo hp-setup but it says no devices were found. Any help? [01:13] jrib: not sure you saw my other responses, but thanks.. rtfman helped for once since I didn't do that :) as an aside, foremost doesn't carve whole jpg's like photorec does and usually offers only fragments of images. however, photorec segfaults when i mount it over sshfs or curlftpfs (from a livecd only). ah well... thanks again btw :) [01:13] shig grub looks in the drives mbr for booting if it finds a mbr it loads os's from that then loads it self in mbr [01:13] because if we replace the book marks first, then uninstall firefox, it will be pointless [01:14] bloodrock: so how do i fix it? [01:14] tmapj, you said that you copied the backup-bookmarks to your desktop. Go to the desktop and right click and copy them again, then paste that into the same folder where bookmarks.html is right now. [01:14] arrow: System > Administration > Printing isn't enlightening? It should be well supported. [01:14] mimi, fde: put the handbags away [01:14] Why are you going to uninstall Firefox now? [01:14] can anyone tell me how to install and run xmms ? [01:14] ugh: Uncalled for. [01:14] ugh, bod_ I was just trying to understand what I did wrong, when I simply asked for help, not demanded help. thanks anyway [01:14] matias: sudo apt-get install xmms && xmms [01:15] matias: However, you probably don't want to. xmms is an old cruddy media player. [01:15] emma: because the tools menu option is missing [01:15] hello ive got a problem, if i type a character into terminal it crashes [01:15] matias: sudo apt-get install gxmms2 [01:15] ouellettesr: What terminal? [01:15] RyanPrior - I don't think that 'xmms' is the name of the package. [01:15] RyanPrior, the normal ubuntu one [01:16] emma: That may be. :-) [01:16] ouellettesr: gnome-terminal [01:16] how to I take the programs that I've uninstall from out of Applications>Wine>Programs [01:16] Mimi, appreciated but #disputes would be a better place to settle things in the future. no biggy just keepin the peace [01:16] RyanPrior, I believe it is called gxmms2 [01:16] ok [01:16] !info gxmms2 [01:16] gxmms2 (source: gxmms2): xmms2 client for the GNOME desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.4-1.1 (hardy), package size 56 kB, installed size 188 kB [01:16] emma: Ah. I still stand by my statement that you probably don't want to install xmms though. [01:16] Thanks bod_ I didnt know of that channel.... cool, Ill save it on my bookmarks :P [01:16] because ppl like to pick on me [01:16] RyanPrior, no disagreements there. [01:16] shig could try using qgrubeditor [01:16] emma i did what you told me to do anyway [01:17] what next? [01:17] helowo: no problem, glad you got it [01:17] anyone knoe why 'gnome-terminal' would be crashing when i type anything/ [01:17] tmapj okay so now in the same directory you have bookmarks.html and the backup ? [01:17] Mimi, it doesnt exist -- you can go to any channel temporarily -- type in your chat box /j #iWantToGoToThePub [01:17] ok [01:17] ouellettesr: Does it also happen with xterm? [01:17] i deleted bookmarks.html like you told me [01:17] hi [01:17] any user groups in North Carolina? [01:17] MachinTrucChose: welcome! [01:17] okay but you put the backup in the same directory that the bookmarks.html used to be in? [01:17] !loco [01:17] Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams [01:18] RyanPrior, i dont think i have xterm [01:18] j1solutions: ^ see above [01:18] tmapj, okay but you put the backup in the same diretory that the bookmarks.html used to be in? [01:18] j1solutions, also try [01:18] hey, i'm trying to install java jdk. I have a .bin here.. how would i install this? [01:18] Information on Ubuntu Local Community Te [01:18] I love ubuntu, I just wanted the whole world to know [01:18] shig what partitions did you install the ms os's on [01:18] ouellettesr: You do unless you deleted it. Hit Alt+F2 and enter "xterm" [01:18] im sorry. my copy paste isnt working too well. j1solutions also try http://www.linux.org/groups/ [01:18] yes thats correct emma [01:19] do i rename it to html? [01:19] tmapj, okay now right click on the backup and select Rename... [01:19] tmapj, Rename it to bookmarks.html [01:19] anyone here with ati x1250 card or similar that didnt get detected on upgrade or install ? [01:19] can someone tell me if IFCONFIG is buggy or what? I'm transferring 15gb of files to another computer on the LAN, and here's the capture of "ifconfig eth0" : RX bytes:79105783 (75.4 MB) TX bytes:3318832985 (3.0 GB) Then about 10 minutes later, RX bytes:143268826 (136.6 MB) TX bytes:1357885531 (1.2 GB) . The TX count actually decreased. You can tell from the RX count (the TCP ACKs, I assume) that the connec [01:19] tion was not dropped. [01:19] RyanPrior, alt=f2 isnt even working [01:19] bloodrock: i don't know i installed xp pro on the first, server '08 on the second one, and ubuntu on the third [01:19] thanks all! [01:20] tmapj, let me know when you have done that. [01:20] weird... i remember xmms as looking something like winamp... howcome it doesnt look like that anymore ? [01:20] ok i did it [01:20] ouellettesr: Can you use System->Preferences->Main Menu to add a menu item for xterm? [01:20] matias: audacious [01:20] tmapj okay then exit nautilus and close all firefox, then open firefox back up and see if your bookmarks are there. [01:20] matias: Audacious Media Player can use Winamp skins. [01:20] RyanPrior, this was happening the other day and rebooting fixed it, my shit key wont even work [01:20] fde: thanks m8 :D [01:21] emma the bookmarks aren't there [01:21] Hm. [01:21] ouellettesr: Your f key is evidently a little spotty as well. [01:21] shig did you test each once each ms os was installed? [01:21] matias: http://www.audacious-media-player.org/ can use winamp skins amongst others: http://www.audacious-media-player.org/index.php?title=Skins [01:21] Go to your desktop where you saved a copy of the backup. Click on it and see if the bookmarks are in there. [01:22] tmapj, this is SeaPhor, in the future you might want to consider the /home on a separate partition i told you about :-)) [01:22] fde, what do i put in /etc/exports to get 777 permissions to 1 static ip address? (192.168.1.69) [01:22] RyanPrior, lol i didnt even see that i meant shift [01:22] bloodrock: yes i did i could multiboot from the first two, but after i installed ubuntu it only lets me boot into ubuntu [01:22] good day everyone === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [01:23] emma yes there are bookmarks in the file [01:23] hey, im trying to set up a USB key with ubuntu installed so that I can take it to uni and use it. Where would I get a good tutorial? I want to be able to have fully functioning in terms of installing software and my writing to my home dir but be able to run on any machine [01:23] tmapj, hm... hold on... [01:23] help with vga not detected on upgrade needed. [01:23] fde: audacious rocks then :D thanks [01:23] ouellettesr: Well, it's a strange error, and I can't exactly give you terminal commands to type to troubleshoot it. :-) [01:23] bod_: /whatever/dir 192.168.1.69 rw [01:23] IrishDavid: how big is your usb? [01:23] shig have you ever fixed a mbr useing your xp cd [01:23] RyanPrior, i cant even find xterm [01:23] emma we already did that [01:23] bod_: /whatever/dir 192.168.1.69(rw) even... [01:24] whooops [01:24] emma nvm [01:24] ouellettesr: It's on your path automatically, so just running "xterm" will start it. [01:24] was reading an old page [01:24] tmapj, did you definitely name it bookmarks.html exactly that without any caps or changes of any kind? [01:24] bloodrock: not really... [01:24] yes emma [01:24] fde, /what/dir/should/this/be/or/doesnt/it/matter ?? [01:24] Odd-rationale, i've got a 400gb external that I want to test with and then im going to purchase a 16gb flash drive [01:24] tmapj - okay so what did you mean you were reading an old page? [01:24] anyone know hwo to fix the dark or dim screen after suspend? [01:24] bod_: full path on the local machine. [01:24] emma forget it it doesnt matter [01:25] :( [01:25] morning.. my emerald sits at about 4gigs, any ideas why [01:25] fde, path to where? [01:25] how to tell nautilus to refresh thumbnails for a directory? [01:25] moDumass: Don't use Emerald. It's a crufty theme manager. [01:25] Okay I wish you luck then. I suggest in the future you try to stick to installing .deb packages and, at that, you should try to learn about checkinstall [01:25] bod_: to whatever dir you want to share... you can't define normal files though. [01:25] RyanPrior why whats the difference [01:25] RyanPrior, yeah but i have no where to type that in [01:25] bod_: Ubuntu has $HOME/Public for instance. [01:25] IrishDavid: oh. that big. then hat is easy. just do a normal install. select your usb as the harddrive to install it on. and be sure to install grub on your usb key NOT the internal hdd. [01:25] shig run your xp cd it will ask you if you want to install and or repair choose repair then choose to repair from console [01:26] tmapj, now in the meantime Freenode has a channel for #freenet and you should /join #freenet and ask those guys how to uninstall their software. [01:26] ouellettesr: Can you use System -> Preferences -> Main Menu to create a launcher? [01:26] fde, so /home 192.168.......................... for instance? [01:26] Odd-rationale, do you not need to do anything so that it is still in live mode on boot to recognise hardware? [01:26] tmapj, if you like I will go with you to introduce you to them. [01:26] emma sure [01:26] ah got it [01:26] bod_: that would share all sub dir's in /home ... not a good idea. [01:26] shig then it should ask you what windows you want to repair choose them then type fixmbr [01:26] RyanPrior, nope when i start to type a name for a new item it crashes [01:26] Hullo chat...I'm trying to upgrade to 8.4 from 7.10. But the upgrade manager dies when downloading package 797. I have no idea why... [01:27] bod_: would probably be fine provided you keep permissions correct though. [01:27] Hi all, is there a command to rename on through the terminal? [01:27] how can I get irssi to give me a list of channels on a server? [01:27] Odd-rationale, I want to be able to boot on lots of different machines in uni to do work [01:27] IrishDavid: in fact, what I did ( and many other) is just remove all drives in cluding internal hdd from the machine, attach your usb, boot the live cd and install. that way grub will automatiucally install in the correct place [01:27] tmapj: use the importer, bookmarks -> organize bookmarks -> file -> import -> from file [all in the organize bookmarks window] [01:27] binarymutant: /list [01:27] IrishDavid: uni == university ? [01:27] hey could someone tell me the differnce between gksudo and suo? [01:27] sudo* [01:27] ups sorry, to rename files on the terminal* [01:27] Odd-rationale, yes [01:27] ouellettesr: What IRC client are you using? [01:27] RyanPrior im using gnome though, isnt cruft kde [01:27] bloodrock: should i do that for xp pro and server '08 seperatly? [01:27] anyone help me for a second? [01:27] xchat [01:27] shig for the ubuntu if you useing hardy use the wubi and install ubuntu in windows [01:27] eisenhower_: gksudo is graphcial sudo [01:27] fde, yeah, its just between me and my dad -- should be safe enough, (will have to hide my porn though) [01:28] Odd-rationale: Ty [01:28] moDumass: Haha, Gnome and KDE are both pretty crufty, but many folks would say Gnome is moreso. Anyway, that's not the point. Emerald is a theme manager, Gnome and KDE are desktop environments. [01:28] eisenhower_: use gksudo so start graphical apps like synaptics, gedit, etc. use sudo to start terminal apps like aptitude nano , vi ect. [01:28] bloodrock: yes i'm running hardy but i installed it in a different partition [01:28] fde ty so much [01:28] RyanPrior, xchat [01:29] IrishDavid: well first you have to know whether the machines at the university will boot from usb... [01:29] bod_: make your dads account part of say 'nfs' group, and only make things you want him to have access to owned by that group :) [01:29] anyone got fix for brightness level after suspend? [01:29] does apt-get dist-upgrade do exactly the same thing as upgrading through the update manager? [01:29] RyanPrior: Emerald is a window manager? I thought it was a window manager manager. [01:29] any programs to search for duplicated files? [01:29] shig not sure dunno if xp will see 08 so if it don't try useing 08 server to fixmbr [01:29] Odd-rationale, already tested and I know it will work [01:29] thanks RyanPrior, just most of the googling seems to mention KDE use with Cruft [01:29] * shachaf might be thinking of something else, though. [01:29] fde, sorry was afk for a sec. Do I have to open a port through my router for it to work? [01:30] shig did you use wubi or did you use the install from livecd? [01:30] Hadn't you never been unable to go the bathroom? [01:30] Odd-rationale, I just want to know what way to go about setting up my drive so that it will work persistently on changing hardware configurations? [01:30] arrow == bod_ ? [01:30] Oh, Emerald is a window *decorator*. [01:30] bloodrock: live cd [01:30] fde I'm sorry, don't know what arrow == bod_ ? means [01:30] hey all i get this message when trying to connect to dalnet [01:30] You match the pattern of a known trojan [01:30] arrow: what was I helping you with? [01:30] fde, im confused -- these are two different machines with 1 user on each machine?????? arrow == bod_???? what u talkin bout???? [01:31] Anyone know of issues with VMWorkstation and Heron? Since the upgrade it wont run, and tells me to recompile the kernel... [01:31] printing over the network\ [01:31] IrishDavid: that is kind of tricky, ubuntu should detect most of the hardware on boot. so you should not really have any trouble with that. you might want to use the vesa drivers instead of nvdia, ati or what have you. as vesa works almost universally. [01:31] fde bod_, do I have to open a port? [01:31] arrow, to do what? [01:31] I can't fix resolution with FixResolution wiki [01:31] someone have ideas? [01:31] bod_: I was trying to figure out who arrow was, sorry... the exports will obide by the permissions of that system though. [01:31] bod_ to print over the network [01:31] IrishDavid: also, you might want to use ext2 instead of ext3 to extend to life of your flash drive... [01:31] Odd-rationale, I'll give it a shot, I know the computers at uni will be using either intel 950 or nvidia [01:32] Odd-rationale, thanks for your help [01:32] arrow: yes, he'll need to open the applicable port... ufw makes that very easy for bod_ to do [01:32] shig should use wubi to install ubuntu into windows it's much better i think [01:32] IrishDavid: other that, you should be able to install as normal. [01:32] IrishDavid: np [01:32] fde, thanks I'll try that [01:32] fde, ok, all i want is for my /home and my dads /home (2 different machines) to be accessible by eachother --- ufw??? [01:32] thanks RyanPrior, nah it seems fine, i mean it says its using 4 gigs but i only have 1 gig, and theres no system lag, i mean everything seems fine [01:33] bloodrock: so you want me to delete that partition and install ubuntu inside the partition with windows in it? [01:33] bod_: yes... ufw allows you to say in almost human terms 'allow this computer to connect to this port' ... you can't just say "let anyone use this account, security doesn't matter", you have to add your Dad as a local user, and yourself on his machine. [01:33] shachaf: Emerald is not a window manager or a window manager manager. It is a *theme* manager. [01:34] shig you can choose the drive or partition you want to install ubunti on in wubi [01:34] fde, do i have to install this ufw thing? [01:34] are there soccer or hockey or basket ballgames for linux [01:34] thanks for the help fde! i'll probably be back here for more help later [01:34] Hello, I just installed a horde of programs via add/remove, but now I want to remove them. Is there a way to conveniently list, say all the programs I installed in the since yesterday, so that I can easily apt-get remove all of them? Thanks! [01:34] bod_: It's default in hardy [01:34] RyanPrior: Oh, I misread your earlier message. :-) [01:34] fde, so where do i set this up? [01:34] shig i figure xp prob on drive c 08 prob drive d so ubuntu would go on drive e [01:34] hi [01:34] bod_: man ufw [01:34] kk [01:34] ty [01:35] hey, is there a zip recovery tool for linux? I have a 8.8GiB zip file. It's corrupt [01:35] bloodrock: so you are saying that its better to install ubuntu with wubi? [01:35] bod_: it's not intimidating at all, very easy... that's why I haven't brought it up yet... you're still getting your head around even defining NFS mounts [01:35] fde, can that work over the net or just on LAN, like netbui was for win? [01:35] bloodrock: and install it in the open partition? [01:36] fde, yeah, this isall well confusing, so not only do i have to set up /etc/exports but i also have to configure a firewall [01:36] SeaPhor: NetBIOS is not routable... SMB/CIFS has no such restrictions, neither does NFS, as they both use TCP on Unix systems. [01:36] shig yes it is i think it leaves your windows bootloader alone and lets it boot you into ubuntu [01:36] !supergrub [01:36] Factoid supergrub not found [01:37] fde, thanks!, so i could use it from work to connect home instead of ssh? [01:37] Hi all [01:37] bod_: one firewall command, because Ubuntu closes all ports by default... /etc/exports to define shares you're providing, /etc/fstab for shares you want to access unless you want to always type mount -t nfs blah foo [01:37] bloodrock: and it will install it inside windows or in the open partition? [01:37] shig yes thou you may have to delete the ubuntu partition and create new partition in windows [01:37] SeaPhor: I'd recommend using SSH/SCP/SFTP either way over the internet, but it's possible, yes [01:37] fde: hey fde how do you do ? [01:38] fde: good to see you !!!!! [01:38] shig yes [01:38] arbir: likewise! [01:38] fde, Thanks! [01:38] fde, ok, what is this one firewall command? [01:38] tmapj, okay I've got you set up and talking to the guys in #freenet now right? Are we squared away? [01:38] bloodrock: make a new partition in windows in what file system? [01:38] i remember chatting with a guy called f3ew in the yahoo Linux, BSD, Solaris chatrooms [01:38] no one have fix for laptop display being dark? [01:38] fde: i remember chatting with a guy called f3ew in the yahoo Linux, BSD, Solaris chatrooms [01:39] ntfs [01:39] darknessinc: new laptop [01:39] could anyone provide me with specific help in a PM? [01:39] it was fine until i fell sleep last night [01:39] fde: my ubuntu misbehaved yesterday..... so i installed it again today [01:39] fde: somehow, this install seems more stable.. my rythmbox is not choppy so far [01:39] This is not trolling. Don't be mad. I just had to let you see and read this: http://www.anontalk.com/topic/3879/Fuck_this_Linux_for_desktop_shit [01:40] bod_: ufw allow proto udp from 1.2.3.5 port 5469 to 1.2.3.4 port 5469 is in the EXAMPLES section... for you, 'ufw allow tcp from port 2049' should work [01:40] !language | crazybanana [01:40] crazybanana: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:40] i read something about laptop having suspend problems with display [01:40] bloodrock: but before i do that i have to fix the mbr in the other two os's right? [01:40] blahblahx: keep questions in the channel. it allows more people to answer if they know, and doesn't make the person you're targeting feel pressured. [01:40] bod_: cat /etc/services | grep nfs to see where I got that number! [01:40] fde: so whats new ? [01:40] Daisuke_Ido: its a very long and specific question [01:40] fde, im scared ,.lol,. mind if i pm you? [01:40] shig i'd help you fix grub but not knowing where xp and 08 where put it very hard to tell you how to fix grub boot loader lol [01:40] arbir: You used update-manager previously? [01:40] bod_: sure [01:41] shig yup gotta get it fixed [01:41] fde: update-manager ? i use it all the time.. [01:41] fde: why do you ask ? [01:41] blahblahx: then ask it already. [01:41] bloodrock: so you want to know what drive each os is on? [01:41] Daisuke_Ido: ahh so nice here. [01:41] bod_: you have to be registered to message me.... /nickserv register [01:41] shig yes [01:41] arbir: Did you use it to upgrade to hardy though? Lots of people had issues with that for this release. [01:41] any way to install nvidia latest drivers for ubuntu 8.04 64 bits ? [01:42] envy giving me error =8 [01:42] bloodrock: hold on a sec i'll go check [01:42] fde, yer [01:42] fde: no, i always prefer a clean install [01:42] fde, did you get my pm? [01:42] fde: i installed Beryl and then i could not click on any of the buttons..... i had to use keyboard to click my buttons.... but the mouse worked with the menus [01:42] arbir, i hope u meancompiz-fusion not beryl [01:42] arbir: beryl has been deprecated for months - try compiz-fusion [01:42] what is comand to update pci ids ? [01:43] Gohalien, use the restricted drivers [01:43] bod_: yes.. :-) [01:43] Does anyone know how I can get firefox and rhythmbox to play audio at the same time? If I have firefox open I have to close it to get rhythmbox to play.. [01:43] >< i cant find a fix [01:43] Daisuke_Ido: i am scared , i just got my laptop going.. and this might again kill me === MidgetARG is now known as MidgetSpy [01:43] blahblahx: i'm not trying to be mean, it's just that if you have a question, you ask in the channel. i know it's a specific problem, but what if someone else is having that same specific problem. [01:43] hey all [01:43] fde: so i tested out Xubuntu.. i loved it.. but it does not do certain things like Ubuntu does.. so i trashed it and got ubuntu installed again [01:44] <|Aaron|> mikebot, make sure your rhythmbox is using the alsa sound driver [01:44] fde: i use a USB stick to install Ubuntu, its lightning fast to install stuff [01:44] |Aaron|: How do I do that? [01:44] UnknownFear: hey you ;-) [01:44] |Aaron|: And it works once firefox is closed. [01:44] arbir: you know you don't have to trash everything, you can just install the ubuntu-desktop package [01:44] saves a lot of time and hassle :) [01:45] Daisuke_Ido: hmmm.. i did not know that... still lots to learn.... [01:45] Daisuke_Ido: thanks though for letting me know [01:45] also check this out abir http://unixnewbie.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_switch_between_Ubuntu_-_Kubuntu_-_Xubuntu_-_Edubuntu [01:45] arbir: no worries, that's why we're here [01:45] bloodrock: sorry since i can only boot into ubuntu all the drives look the same and there is no letter added on to them [01:45] !ot | arbir [01:45] arbir: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:46] moDumass: excellent link [01:46] well guys i upgraded linux mint (a very close ubuntu derivative) from its gutsy based version to hardy. Now, i get errors about dpkg config for a few packges. for example, dpkg --configure -a gives me this: http://pastebin.com/mf566ad7 . keep in mind that the derivative doesn't have a /boot/grub, yet other maintainers were able to upgrade their systems just fine. [01:46] bloodrock: so even though i know which one is which i don't know how to look at what letter it has been assign to it [01:46] shig that why you may as well use the ms os to fix mbr lol [01:46] SeaPhor, I installed nvidia_new drivers and I had problems, I see all black ^^ i know it is working because I hear the sounds [01:46] fde: my IRC experience has been rather difficult one, talking about servers with geeks, and they dont like if people ask basic questions.. they always ask to RTFM.... [01:47] fde: this channel has been superb from day 1. very helpful people.. very nice [01:47] This sound problem occurs with VLC player as well. [01:47] Gohalien, yes, i have a 8600 gt and had sam issue,,, [01:47] bloodrock: k i'll give that a try thx [01:47] Gohalien, *same [01:47] =..( [01:47] shig prob since you loaded 08 server after xp try useing that to fix mbr [01:47] blahblahx: the main question, i think, is did you update from mint or ubuntu repositories? [01:47] <|Aaron|> mikebot, sorry not sure... I dont really use rhythmbox, but it looks like it defaults alsa. === anan is now known as ananz [01:47] Maybe it doesnt like the res 1680:1050 [01:48] hi [01:48] Daisuke_Ido: it has both. but thats how the others upgraded. [01:48] and second, i wasn't aware that mint didn't use grub :\ very odd [01:48] |Aaron|: THis problem occurs with firefox and vlc too... it seems that with any two audio outputting devices I can only hear the one opened first, and can't hear the second until the first is closed. [01:48] Daisuke_Ido: it uses grubgfx instead [01:48] Gohalien, i did fresh install and went to System> Admin...>Hardware Drivers and enabled and all was good [01:48] Daisuke_Ido: which is basically the same [01:48] Anyone else is having window-decoration problems on 8.04 with compiz? [01:48] Hey guys I need some help. I was installing windows just to have it on a hard drive. And I was delete all my drives and I didnt relized that I deleted my external hard drive that held all my data on it. I didnt do a format though so it should be recoverable. Any Ideas PLEASE! [01:48] bloodrock: k thx again [01:48] arbir: We try to carry out the meaning of Ubuntu through out the community... many Linux users believe it's bad that non-technical people are catching on to our toy though, you have to accept that outside of the Ubuntu community.

Use it to access a "secondary button list". [01:57] Gohalien, or ask in open channel,,, i have heard varrying things [01:58] daisuke_ido: you're awesome. [01:58] daisuke_ido: thanks a lot. :-) [01:58] darknessinc: especially on laptops, it's used to access hardware features like brightness and monitor switching, things like that [01:58] darknessinc: For example, you will notice you do not have a keypad. To emulate the keypad you will notice some letters on your keyoard have a tiny number on them. Hold Fn+the tiny number = keypad number. [01:58] usually sleep and hibernate have fn combinations as well [01:58] Amenado: No [01:58] <_newbie__00> i need help . how i make lan connection with 2 computers UBUNTU 8.04 .please send right properties . i m train this 4 day and 0 results = ((( [01:59] Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD--- Wireless Modem Issue: (worked out of the box with 7.10) Right before booting into the desktop GUI, I get a "IO Read Error" on zd1211, and then when attempting to use NMGnome, it sees my modem but cannot find any Wifi networks.

[02:00] hello.. anyone here using thinkpad r31? [02:00] lol, now i have no sound. i think myi laptop hates me [02:01] Amenado: I am using Hardy with an up-to-date, operating wireless card. When I use "Roaming Mode" in my network configuration it works fine, such as now. When I attempt to enter static settings, such as a static IP, it does not work. It will not attempt to connect to the wireless network. [02:01] may machine seems to hang everytime [02:01] Gohalien, which nvidia set do you have? [02:01] <_newbie__00> Daisuke_Ido YES!

[02:02] i read "Ubuntu has joined with IBM to add Lotus Notes"?? anybody know more about this? [02:02] Krimson-> you have to initiate at your end to associate to an AP [02:02] nvidia-glx-new is 169.xx version [02:02] Krimson: Oh, I see [02:02] metanil: I also heard about it. You might want to contact IBM Lotus Notes division about it. [02:02] achoth: Go to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager [02:02] <_newbie__00> Daisuke_Ido yes (i test in 2 Windows XP all work =(( [02:02] amenado: What?

[02:03] achoth: Ok, hope it works out ok. =) [02:03] Gohalien, ok , can you do a gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and copy/paste thefile in pastebin? [02:03] _newbie__00: sudo aptitude install firestarter ... it makes it very easy to share connections. [02:03] Where can I find the procedure for submitting a "needs packaging" bug? [02:03] and fde to the rescue! [02:03] Krimson: Yep, thanks :) [02:03] Krimson-> you have to initiate the association to an AP. it does not happen automatically when you are using static [02:04] vadi2: There isn't much procedure to it. Create a bug tracker profile, go to Ubuntu's page, and submit the bug. [02:04] W00T! I just successfully offered my first piece of helpful advice! =D =D =D [02:04] lol i have no sound now for some reason... im trying to play music but nothing is coming out [02:04] vadi2: If there's any step in particular that confuses you, then ask about it specifically. :-) [02:04] i found a bug in brainstorm, do i report it at launchpad or brainstorm or is there an IRC i can discuss it in? [02:04] darkscript__, are you running Hardy? [02:04] when i do sudo update-pciids it downloads file from sourceforge ? [02:04] Krimson: Congratilations :P [02:04] Daisuke_Ido: Actually, I think he wants samba set up re-reading... heh [02:04] darknessinc: It's likely that something else, like Flash or another sound program, has control of the sound device. [02:04] RyanPrior: So just report a bug in ubuntu, saying this and this app needs to be updated? [02:04] amenado: So when I configure the network manually I have to associate to AP? [02:04] Jordan_U, i think i'm running edgy [02:05] Krimson yes, if you are using static ip, you have to awaken the AP to associate yours [02:05] i think edgy has EOLed [02:05] vadi2: Submit a separate bug for each, and name them [needs-packaging] foobar2000 [02:05] <_newbie__00> please retry mesg im reconnected [02:05] amenado: How do I do that? [02:05] RyanPrior: Thanks! [02:06] vadi2: If there is already a package upstream but it needs to be merged into Ubuntu, do a merge request instead. [02:06] sure [02:06] how do i use beryl?

Manually entering the networks doesn't work either. [02:08] Beo: is emerald missing its themes in hardy? [02:08] arbir: Emerald was born as part of the Beryl project. [02:08] i dont know arbir, im confised [02:08] *confused [02:08] is there away to find out if another program has a hold of my volume or do i have to open everything and check lol [02:08] amenado: I have programs that work better with static IP's, such as video games like Guild Wars, which operate more smoothly when I forward ports. No I was not mocking you, I was mocking my own meager knowledge of code and Linux. [02:08] SeaPhor, http://www.pastebin.org/35000 [02:08] Beo: in gutsy i installed the themes from feisty without any problems [02:08] RyanPrior: so what exactly am i looking at when i install compiz ? [02:08] Gohalien, ok, 1 sec [02:08] xbehave im using gutsy so i have no idea [02:08] RyanPrior: a 3rd cube desktop ? [02:08] i dont know how though [02:08] amenado: My apologies if you mistook me. I truly did not mean any offense on your part. [02:08] Beo: please upgrade if you can to Hardy [02:08] arbir: Compiz is a new window manager which has compositing capabilities, to do things such as the 3D cube. [02:09] SeaPhor, downloaded nvidia-glx-new, want me to give it a try ? [02:09] Krimson-> why would that be the case of having a static ip address makes it any better? [02:09] phixxor: apt-cache show vls [02:09] RyabPrior: any good link, which can help me walkthrough this ? [02:09] arbir: However, Compiz is much more than just 3D effects. It opens a lot of new possibilities. [02:09] hello, how often are LTS versions released [02:09] i dled a theme which is sitting on my desktop, and i can't do anything with it except look at preferences [02:09] kro: vls? [02:09] every two years brendan_ [02:09] bazhang, thanks [02:09] amenado: When I port forward my router requires a static IP. When I reboot my computer it assigns a new internal IP which means I have to go back into the router and reset my IP variables. [02:09] arbir: Compiz is installed by default on Ubuntu. All you need is a graphics card and enable the effects. [02:10] Beo: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/emerald-themes RyanPrior: i am excited about this compiz.. but how do i learn all about it.. and experiment it ? my laptop has a geforce Go 6800 with 256mb VRAM [02:10] one min, ill try it [02:10] well it did for me [02:10] Gohalien, you can,,, but i see no Nvidia in the paste? [02:10] phixxor: vls is a free streaming software solution. [02:10] hey all - perhaps this isn't the best place to ask but I've got a monodevelop/gtksourceview related problem in ubuntu... [02:10] amenado: When I use a static internal IP it means I can just turn it off and on as much as I want without having to spend ten minutes checking and reassigning variables. [02:10] i'm trying to get my HP Officejet scanner to work for regular users. it works until root, but not as users. which group do i ahve to be a part of? I tried sudo gpasswd -a user hplip but the group doesn't exist even though it's IN /etc/shadow [02:10] arbir: You'll want to enable the non-free Nvidia driver probabluy. [02:10] RyanPrior: i have already enabled the effects...... when i goto gnome-look.org, i see so many cool desktop themes, but none of them end up like that, when i attempt to install it..

[02:11] Krimson-> can you draw a layout of your network connectivities? so it will be easier for me to follow?

[02:11] SeaPhor, be back in a sec [02:11] RyanPrior: how can i get the 3rd cube ? [02:11] arbir: All you need to do is configure it. The compiz-config settings manager lets you enable all the cool stuff you see in YouTube videos and so on. [02:11] Krimson no, you have to use some kind of drawing package [02:11] phixxor: xvid is a specific video compression mechanism. [02:11] arbir: Or, alternately, there's the new simple-ccsm. [02:12] where is compiz-config ? @ RyanPrior [02:12] anyone know why a wireless connection will connect to an open access point with no issues, and will not connect to an access point with wep/tkip?

[02:22] bazhang, they are Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs [02:22] Failed to fetch cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/dists/gutsy/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs [02:22] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[02:22] arbir: nah, just when you change workspaces AFAIK [02:22] arbir: hold ctrl+alt and click+drag [02:22] opps [02:22] has anyone had any experience with apt-get failing to install msttcorefonts with an error regarding a proxy? [02:22] oops [02:22] AdemoS, sounds like a router issue [02:22] let me go into a text editor and clean that up [02:23] bazhang, I had no issues, router or modem in 7.10 live cd though.... [02:23] edwin: It is not a sloppy workaround, it is a GUI for managing .desktop files... Windows apps know nothing about Linux, Wine would remove the entries via 'Uninstall Windows Applications" ime, but if they don't go, you have to remove the entry. [02:23] clint101, remove the cdrom as a software source in software sources then hit reload [02:23] Derander: do you get that error only with that package, or when you try to install anything? [02:23] baz ... can you tell me where I'd find that? [02:23] bazhang, and even if I use 7.10 live cd now, it works [02:23] RyanPrior: boy o boy! thats like a dream come true [02:23] AdemoS, well then you need to give tons more info--'it worked in gutsy' is of little help thanks [02:23] i-hope-this-name, not ALL-ways case sensitive, can be if chosen as option, but he has not config'd that option that he has said [02:23] <_newbie__00> bazhang , i have two 10\100mb card and 1 comp have adsl modem but i dont need internet sharing i m need only folders sharing [02:23] arbir: Pretty slick, eh? :-) [02:23] bazhang, I have a seperate computer this time, what do you need? [02:23] SeaPhor, anyway how to check what version of nvidia driver I am using ? === eisenhower_ is now known as eisenhower [02:24] AdemoS, then perhaps you should stick with gutsy for the moment [02:24] anyone sucessfully installed vmware workstation on 8.04? [02:24] RyanPrior: can I leave a desktop in that half turned state ? it always gets back to normal state [02:24] SeaPhor: ah, i missed that part [02:24] i-hope-this-name: after I attempt to install the package, I get it when I try to install anything. When I run the following command: "sudo /usr/bin/defoma-font register-all /etc/defoma/hints/msttcorefonts.hints" to enable me to remove the package, I once again am able to install (at least until I try and install microsoft fonts again)] [02:24] _newbie__00, both are linux or one linux and one windows [02:24] bazhang, I have, but all my software updates have been stoped for gutsy, so I'm forced to upgrade [02:24] arbir: In the future you might be able to, but right now you have to be viewing a viewport full-on to interact with the windows. [02:24] RyanPrior: this is super slick.... [02:24] AdemoS, gutsy will still be supported for quite a while-->if it works for you best to do that then [02:25] <_newbie__00> bazhang 2 ubuntu 8.04 [02:25] Derander: that is very strange, ive never had that happen to me. perhaps you could find it as a .deb somewhere online and install it that way? [02:25] i-hope-this-name: found one, same problem. :-( [02:25] Gohalien, try lspci, for pci device,,, (sudo always) sudo lshw and see what those tell u [02:25] RyanPrior: compizconfig-settings-manager is already installed in my machine... i dont see it in the menus though [02:25] i-hope-this-name: found two, actually [02:25] AdemoS, there is no 'forced to upgrade in linux' some people still use breezy [02:25] bazhang, getdeb.net dropped support, and all ubuntu repos have old versions of software, for my uses, I need the latest versions [02:25] SeaPhor, Ok [02:25] Derander: wow. [02:25] Derander: lemmie think [02:25] arbir: It'll be in System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [02:25] _newbie__00, what about nfs then /msg ubottu nfs [02:26] arbir, go to preferences > advanced animation settings or whatever its called ;p [02:26] i-hope-this-name: this is all building up to hopefully getting flash to work [02:26] !nfs [02:26] yeah yeah i saw this.... @ RyanPrior [02:26] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [02:26] Derander: ah-ha. [02:26] someone needs to get ubottu to set unfiltered on with nickserv [02:26] RyanPrior: yesterday i got upto this menu and then i did something and i could not click on any button... i had to reinstall my Ubuntu [02:26] baz ... I found it in System > Administration > Software Sources [02:26] how much does linux cost? [02:27] bazhang, would you care to help me with this error? configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [02:27] fde: when i have to delete the entire programs folder and reinstall wine just to get the default back, yes it is sloppy. I can't just uninstall the program's menu entry because wine doesn't work like that. wine uses a symbolic link and tells alacarte to display everything in it [02:27] Derander: another idea, download the fonts on their own and move them to ~/.fonts [02:27] arbir: Yup. The advanced settings gives you enough rope to do some cool tricks, but also enough to hang yourself unfortunately. [02:27] AdemoS, then you need to suffer with the rest of us in crushing the bugs in Hardy ;] [02:27] Derander: assuming that's where they go... might not be; they might be in /usr/local/fonts or somesuch systemwide dir [02:27] i-hope-this-name: yeah, was about to do that. I was hoping I wasn't going to need to though :-( [02:27] bazhang: is there a real good wireless connection manager for Gnome? I have several networks I connect to. [02:27] Chris|: is build-essential installed [02:27] it is now [02:27] i-hope-this-name: yeah, I know where they're supposed to go [02:27] edwin: uhh, I said nothing about that... if the entry wasn't there... then it just hadn't updated the menu yet, and would have been gone just by loading that app. [02:27] Seageant: WICD is good [02:27] Derander: are you behind a proxy, anyway? [02:28] bazhang, yeah, hense why I'm trying to fix the issue, but internet access cancells out all other work to be done (like getting the restricted drivers for vid card etc) [02:28] Sergeant_Pony, wicd perhaps (some have reported success with that); not sure really [02:28] i-hope-this-name: not that I know of [02:28] Derander: also, your repo list might be old, try updating it [02:28] Derander: that's really weird. [02:28] i-hope-this-name: it's trying to use proxy http://:8080 (i.e. nothing) [02:28] <_newbie__00> bazhang i not using nfs but it need ? [02:28] bazhang: where can I find that? package manager doesn't list it [02:28] i-hope-this-name: how exactly do I update my repo list? sudo apt-get upgrade? [02:28] !repomirror | Derander [02:28] Sergeant_Pony, I forgot the url just a sec [02:28] Derander: 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. [02:28] i got shot out [02:29] http://wicd.sourceforge.net/ Sergeant_Pony [02:29] Gohalien, you might ask open in room, i am still a n00b and don't know the easiest way for that [02:29] bazhang: thanks [02:29] * Derander mutters about GUIS [02:29] AdemoS, I forgot your issue sorry :) [02:30] How can I make all my applications look about the same? Kde apps, X apps, java apps, look veeerrrry ugly on gnome - thanks in advance! [02:30] SeaPhor, Ok [02:30] Derander: i believe so. are you in term? if you have X up, just gksudo synaptic and hit the 'reload' button on the left [02:30] bazhang, Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD--- Wireless Modem Issue: (worked out of the box with 7.10) Right before booting into the desktop GUI, I get a "IO Read Error" on zd1211, and then when attempting to use NMGnome, it sees my modem but cannot find any Wifi networks. Manually entering the networks doesn't work either. [02:30] bazhang ... that seemed to do it ... now says '... updated less than an hour ago' [02:30] Hello everyone. I have a 3D question. I have a program that runs a test with a window of spinning gears. The window shows up fine, but the application can't detect that 3D acceleration is perfectly fine. Do I need to find a non-free video driver? [02:30] thanks. [02:30] mimi there is a gtk-qt package that does that-->forgot the name though [02:30] Derander: might be `sudo synaptic update` too [02:30] And while we're at it, how can I set my cursor theme to be the only one used? Depending what window I am, I see 3 diff kinds of cursors :p [02:30] People, how to check what nvidia driver/packet version I am using ? I dont know if nvidia, nvidia-new or nvidia-glx-new [02:30] Derander: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager... Settings > Preferences > "Network" tab > "Manual proxy configuration" [02:30] Derander: **`sudo apt-get update` [02:31] Mimi: http://www.gnome-look.org/ [02:31] dessnr, ..... [02:31] AdemoS, adsl modem? you got a router? [02:31] fde: I ran the "select best server" - it told me that there was no suitable server ;-) [02:31] dessnr, read the question, LOL [02:31] Fishscene: usually all you need to do is go to the restricted drivers manager and enable the video drivers.. [02:31] why does my ubuntu keep randomly resetting the X server for no reason?? [02:31] Mimi, delete the others [02:31] it happens every few hours [02:31] fde: which means I then have to edit the "wine-Programs.menu" file by hand and/or delete the appropriate desktopfile from ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs folder [02:31] harley davidson [02:31] Scunizi, no restricted drivers are listed. =\ [02:31] Mimi: i read the question, the link i provided will make gnome look nicer. it has themes. [02:31] Derander: ahh... well, pick one from the list and see if it'll do its thing... what version of Ubuntu? [02:31] bazhang, modem = belkin F5D7050 router = 2wire [02:31] Fishscene: do you have ati or nvidia or something else? [02:32] fde: hardy, downloaded last night [02:32] I believe ATI. I can research this though. [02:32] fde: trying to get flash running [02:32] edwin: Umm, or just use the tool I showed you... [02:32] AdemoS, can you connect to the router? [02:32] dessnr, thanks but ive been going to that site for about 2 years now. Its now what I asked, however. the themes are only applied to gnome apps. [02:32] i-hope-this-name: yeah, I did those things and it is still failing on the install [02:32] edwin: which does exactly that. [02:32] fde: as far as hasn't updated the menu, it doesn't. [02:32] Fishscene: someone else will have to guide you for ati.. nvidia should be a slam dunk [02:32] Mimi: Understood. [02:32] Derander: your internet is up? [02:32] fde: no it doesn't [02:33] (on the Ubuntu machine) [02:33] Scunizi, thanks [02:33] Mimi, you want kde themes? I'm not sure I am understanding you either-->thought it was making kde stuff look more gnome-ish [02:33] Fishscene: np.. wish I could do more. [02:33] Krimson [02:33] the only menu entry in alacarte i get for wine is "Programs" [02:33] fde: That is how I'm speaking to you - this box is running hardy and installing everything else like a champ ;-) [02:33] Mimi, There is a way to make gtk apps match your qt themes, I think visa versa is possible as well [02:33] edwin: Uh, yes it does... read the source for alacarte please... [02:33] fde: nothing about individual entries for programs installed via wine [02:34] does anyone know how to make your window when you close it like burst into fire [02:34] bazhang, its been my xp and i can be wrong but 2wire makes modem/router combos and belkin makes routers [02:34] bazhang, yes, 8.04 is the first to give any issues with this modem [02:34] How do you make the apache webserver from an external source? [02:34] How do you make the apache webserver reachable from an external source? [02:34] !ccsm | randal [02:34] randal: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [02:34] bazhang, well it would be great if the cursorrs, icons, themes are the same across all the applications, but if it's not posisble Ill take the best I can get. Jordan_U I have a kde theme which thankfully makes kde apps look okay. but what if im using a root app? What if its a window not styled by gnome or kde? eh... ^^;;;;;; I ask for too much? [02:34] edwin: I'm not arguing with you, do it the hard way, I only have 8 years of experience dealing with the issue, and have read the alacarte source... what do I know. [02:34] It's amazing to me how 8.04 has been aproximately as bad an experience as 7.04, whereas the non-lts 7.10 was plug and play :-P [02:35] AdemoS, okay; let's leave that out of the equation shall we? It worked in gutsy, etc does NOT matter-->we want it to work in Hardy right? [02:35] ubottu: whats the code agian to install it [02:35] randal: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:35] Achoth, #ubuntu-server [02:35] hi, I cant seem to find the compiz plugin options under system->preferences. where am i supposed to look? it may sound silly but i cant tell [02:35] ubottu: whats the code agian to install it [02:35] randal: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:35] mimi install fluxbox and avoid the headache [02:35] randal, sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm [02:35] fde: 8 years experience and still can't give clear instructions. it's not under wine. you have to expand wine looks like [02:35] randal, he can't answer you :P [02:35] bazhang, okay, it can be found, but can not find any wifi, so I assume no connection to router [02:35] lorenzo_: system->preferences->appearance->visual effects [02:35] Mimi: I'm doing it on Ubuntu Desktop, not Ubuntu Server [02:35] bazhang, how come? Explain! Im curious :D [02:36] AdemoS, you need an ethernet cable to connect to the modem [02:36] how can i get ubuntu to boot faster? [02:36] Achoth, thats ok, its still a server question, youll get better help there === Ashraf is now known as yem_kib [02:36] AdemoS, err the router [02:36] Mimi: Roger that, I'll ask there [02:36] Derander: yeah that is what i thought, i can only select No effects, normal or Additional effects there. I do not see the plugins tab [02:36] Mimi, Firefox3 should match your gtk theme ( even though it uses XUL, not gtk ), applications run as root IMHO *should* look different but you can also just copy over your theme preference files to /root and there are few major applications that don't use gtk or qt [02:37] edwin: Didn't occur to you to click the triangle by the word 'Wine' ? I refuse to assist someone so rude though, knock yourself out. [02:37] * spass is away: spi [02:37] bazhang, I wanted to try this guide, but I don't understand how I could do this....unless I'm supposed to use a ethernet cable, run it, and bring it back.... http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/08/howto-setup-belkin-wireless-g-f5d7050.html [02:37] lorenzo_: Ah, you'll have to install "compizconfig-settings-manager". in terminal: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:37] * Derander will be back. [02:37] Mimi: As far as I know there is no way to have, how you theme gnome, effect KDE at the same time. They are two separate desktops. [02:37] mimi: i havent resolve my mount disk issue... :d [02:37] lorenzo_, Derander: in hardy, you need to install simple-ccsm [02:37] AdemoS, we may or may not need that; did that get it working for you? [02:38] how to connect laptop to TV through S-video cable [02:38] bazhang, does fluxbox run well with compiz? in gnome, I dont even just the panel, just compiz, emerald and awn [02:38] bazhang, haven't been able to try it yet, since I can't get a connection to wget [02:38] jrib: oh, so i gave sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, what should i do? [02:38] guys, anyone know why I get a white screen when I change users in Ubuntu? [02:38] Oh hello yit4s. If I remembered correctly, you wanted your NTFS/windows partition to be mounted as soon as you login, right? [02:38] jrib: remove that and install simple ccsm? [02:38] Mimi, flux with compiz? if you want awn and the rest best stay with gnome then [02:38] lorenzo_: you can still use ccsm, but to get the option in preferences, you'll have to install simple-ccsm as well [02:39] thanks bazhang [02:39] mimi:yeah [02:39] yit4s, did anyone help you out? If so, was there any progress? [02:39] anybody knows how to see the video signal from my laptops on TV [02:39] mimi:i also need to make my ubuntu boots faster [02:39] mimi:none [02:39] so i do sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm?

[02:40] jrib: yeah i see the preferences button now, thanks for your help [02:40] how to see the video signal [02:41] bazhang, yeah I guess I'll bring the massive beast to the basement, and hook it up via ethernet cable. I was just trying to avoid that because it's heavy and it wouldn't allow me to use my machine till I fixed it [02:41] !sudo [02:41] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

(make sure you dont change ANYTHING on that file :) [02:46] Mimi: it happens totally randomly. i don't know what's causing it tough [02:46] is it just me or does the monitor/resolution detection in 8.04 blow goats? i'm so frustrated with this right now I'm about ready to blow it away and find a new distribution, and i've been using ubuntu for years [02:46] sbansal, if you run "xranr --auto" what happens?

[02:51] WanderingStar: thanks buddie [02:51] kindofabuzz, np [02:51] kindofabuzz, you can take the vmware image and install to a partition [02:52] zelrikriando: Mimi: i just cannot use my super key.... i have bound Super + E.. to show my home folder.. but the moment i press super key.. it shows, it. it does not wait for the E key to be pressed after super key is pressed. [02:52] i have connect my laptop via s-video cable to TV but i am not able to see any signal [02:52] usser, I'm having difficulty saving the output. ROFL.

[02:52] Fishscene, just do cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > file.txt [02:52] Everyday I received about 20 blank emails from . Is this a bug? [02:52] Fishscene, then copy/paste that file.txt [02:52] arbir: yup it is...it s quite a nice one [02:52] arbir, then yo need to reset keybindings [02:53] bazhang: how do you do that ? [02:53] Thanks yit4s .... okay, let me just make sure you really got this installed. type which ntfs-3g and tell me what it says to you [02:53] paulcross: hows this have to matter with ubuntu ? [02:53] in ccsm arbir [02:53] for all you ipod users, google rockbox, total firmware replacement [02:53] i have rockbox [02:53] i have a dead screen and a pod stuck on hold [02:53] arbir: Mimi I dont have any real problem with key-bindings...try to find out if there are conflicts... [02:53] paulcross, best to contact canonical about that [02:53] bazhang: what is ccsm ? [02:53] kindofabuzz, not done it, so don't know the specifics, however documentation exists... somewhere I can't find :) [02:53] raulh: rockbox locked it up? [02:54] so rockbox locks it? not ipod's firmware? [02:54] raulh, because canonical is the company which produced ubuntu. [02:54] usser: http://pastebin.com/d525a18c2 [02:54] paulcross, nothing to do with this channel [02:54] k, sorry, my bad paul [02:54] paulcross, have you replied and asked "why am I ,," [02:54] mimi: from , i get /bin/ntfs-3g [02:54] raulh: i don't know anything about it, just seen it, i heard you can reconnect to itunes and get the original firmware back [02:54] zelrikriando, arbir the issue is, when you go to assign a binding, say "Ok, I want to show the Run dialog when I hit Super+R" so you go and tell it to use it... it doesn't let you put the combo in there. it really stinks! [02:54] dude i have original firmware [02:54] my music is locked [02:55] and i cant access it [02:55] SeaPhor, ......................... [02:55] arbir: http://img163.imageshack.us/my.php?image=capturevq5.png [02:55] Mimi: ditto.. ihave same problem [02:55] raulh: you just said you have rockbox [02:55] im wondering how can i access it is it rockbox who locks it or ipods firmare [02:55] raulh, how is rockbox to do with ubuntu [02:55] someone mentioned it [02:55] Fishscene, whatta, you sure thats all? [02:55] and i said i had it [02:55] raulh, it s offtopic here [02:55] rythmbox wont detect these files in my ipods drive [02:55] bazhang: lol i dunno, it's in the 6 degrees of seperation though i bet lol [02:55] and its completley ontopic [02:55] please learn to read [02:56] usser, I didn't delete anything. I'm using UBuntu Hardy Heron [02:56] raulh, you addressing me [02:56] i have to say i'm amazed by the total lack of anything resembling human-friendly webcam software [02:56] randomwalker: What are you looking for when you say "webcam software"? [02:56] afk [02:56] yit4s, you still have that fstab file open? If so , replace everything by http://paste.ubuntu.com/11214/ [02:56] randomwalker: why do you need software just to se a video image from a cam? [02:56] paulcross, well if you are receiving email by mistake,, they should know, imagine the security issues,, canonical is the owner of Ubuntu, right? [02:56] Fishscene, open up terminal and type sudo apt-get install 915resolution [02:56] Mimi: arbir do you have an example of binding that doesnt work? so I can try [02:56] yit4s, im sorry use this one instead http://paste.ubuntu.com/11214/plain/ (easier to see) [02:57] Fishscene, after its done do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:57] can someone help me get the right version of java? [02:57] i have connect my laptop via s-video cable to TV but i am not able to see any signal [02:57] because it has to let me preview the live stream and hopefully have some limited gui editing features [02:57] eisenhower, which version is right one for you [02:57] zelrikriando: Mimi: Super + E should open my home folder [02:57] Fishscene, its going to reconfigure your xorg [02:57] randomwalker: there are several in the repos [02:57] any ideas how to do it [02:57] . [02:57] arbir: that does expo with me [02:57] bazhang: it says 1.5.0 but I don't know where its installing it... [02:57] randomwalker: You want to stream to what though? web server? another person? images? [02:57] ok [02:57] zelrikriando: when i press super + E, it always shows it as super + L [02:57] zelrikriando, arbir anything that uses super key. if you go to the keybinding tool, and you *try* to tell it to use anything with super + a letter, it will only assign super, not the letter, i think thats whats hapennig [02:57] randomwalker, cheese perhaps? [02:57] bazhang: i installed java 6 using apt-get .. [02:58] Mimi: exactly, you have hit the nail on the head [02:58] eisenhower, could you please clarify the issue thanks [02:58] Fishscene, just answer its pretty simple questions, select intel driver when it asks etc if anything is confusing ask me [02:58] i've tried cheese. it's the only one that *tries* to do what i want, but it doesn't work.. 2 second lag [02:58] bazhang: I installed java 6 but it keeps saying i have 1.5.0 [02:58] which many other people have also reported. it's addressed in the faq but the fixes didn't work [02:58] randomwalker, have you checked the webcams supported in ubuntu list [02:58] bazhang, it's not a driver issue [02:58] mimi: everything in the bin?? [02:58] usser, ok, I'm in the configuration thing. [02:58] basic video capture works fine === Mcam is now known as Mroma [02:58] randomwalker: please fully specify what you're looking for, or else we can't help. [02:58] It's asking me "Use Kernel framebuffer device interface?" [02:58] Fishscene, right what does it say? === Mroma is now known as Mroma_ [02:59] Fishscene, leave default [02:59] randomwalker, then the issue is lag? could be internet speed as well [02:59] Boo Bitches [02:59] eisenhower, you can try sudo apt-get remove sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jre if you already have sun-java6-jre [02:59] carpe language [02:59] yit4s, oopsy, no, run sudo gedit /etc/fstab [02:59] bazhang, lag between camera and screen man! [02:59] yit4s, and repalce everything on that file with the new one I sent you [02:59] randomwalker: sudo apt-get camorama? [02:59] i'm not looking for anything fancy. nothing even has basic functionality. [02:59] mimi: okay [03:00] camorama has preview and settings [03:00] kindofabuzz, tried that, exits with some error. [03:00] randomwalker, not sure what to say-->many do work, not sure of your issue at this point sorry [03:00] bazhang, its ok, thanks [03:00] mimi: okay, saved it [03:00] randomwalker: well what's the error, you gott abe specific to get a solution [03:00] ibleeed: It says it isn't installed... isn't that wierd.... java --version -> java 1.5.0 [03:00] Fishscene, how is it going? [03:00] i have 8.04 installed and i can not get emerald to work compiz effects work fine but i can't change default theme except in theme emerald does nothing when i click on a themes [03:00] where to download the source code of EVIENCE. I couldnt get it from its website. [03:00] mimi:what do i do now? [03:01] I just finished [03:01] kindofabuzz, "could not connect to the video device /dev/video0" [03:01] paulcross: apt-get source evince [03:01] 64bit edition [03:01] eisenhower, yes that is odd. sorry i dont know the solution [03:01] tj43876_, you have emerald manager installed [03:01] yesd [03:01] kindofabuzz, the other programs are at least able to connect to the device [03:01] randomwalker: then your cam isn';t on/dev/video0 evidently [03:01] yit4s, reboot and let me know if it mounts it this time [03:01] Okay, what do I need to do to get audio working properly [03:01] okay [03:01] Fishscene, nice now do cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > file.txt and pastebin it again [03:01] tj43876_, what about alt f2 emerald --replace [03:01] Fishscene, lets see what this thing came up with [03:01] it works in some applications, but not in others [03:02] Coder8, which dont work [03:02] kindofabuzz, it's the only video device that i have [03:02] jrib, oh thank you [03:02] usser: http://pastebin.com/d126562cc [03:02] thanks i forgot to try that [03:02] How do i boot from a live CD on a mac? [03:02] intel mac? chejrw [03:02] yes [03:02] bazhang: well, for example, audio in flash in firefox [03:02] Mimi: did you solve that key binding issue ? [03:02] chejrw, depending on the mac. you hold down some key. C perhaps? [03:03] Chejrw, put the CD in the drive and while it is booting, press and hold the alt or control key when you hear the startup sound [03:03] i currently have ubuntu taking up my whole hard drive, and i need to repartition to install vista. does it matter what order i place my partitions in? [03:03] bazhang: yet playing DVDs works fine [03:03] arbir, no i have not [03:03] Coder8, that is an adobe bug-->libflashsupport *may* fix that [03:03] ok [03:03] ty [03:03] nick_: why would you wanna do that?!?

You will need to re-install grub or re-install ubuntu after you install Vista [03:04] Coder8, wine tends to hog the audio [03:04] mimi.. how can i increase the size of my close buttons on the tabs ? [03:04] bazhang, ok, what about the order of the partitions, does that matter? [03:04] nick_, no, but windows needs a primary parition.. [03:04] bazhang: I really just want to get audio working in wine+oblivion to tell you the truth [03:04] nick_, likely no [03:04] Please help me? [03:04] Anyone here use avant window navigator/ [03:04] ? [03:04] Coder8, does appdb say that works [03:04] arbir, Thats a interesting question... ! Other than getting a new theme for firefox, I don't know, never thought of it! [03:04] Fishscene, hm weird didnt change at all, u picked intel when it asked? [03:04] bpat1434: yep, what's the issue? [03:04] yes i do bpat1434 [03:05] sbansal, if you run xrandr --auto what happens? [03:05] bpat1434, what is your issue please [03:05] Gi [03:05] *Hi [03:05] how to run that [03:05] ok, do i need to keep my swap and ubuntu partition next to eachother?

[03:05] bazhang: usually the problem is video, but video works just fine [03:05] Mimi.. also i cannot tell which tab is currently in focus.. they all look the same to me right now... i have disbaled the close button, so only the current tab has the close button, I am surviving on that [03:05] I take that it worked yit4s ?! :D [03:05] Coder8, well appdb talks about it working or not in different distros [03:05] Anyone who tested KDE4?... It is good? :P [03:05] mimi: very [03:05] Fishscene, it should ask you something about the driver [03:06] arbir, uuuughh I had that problem, until I tried a different Gnome theme >.> [03:06] Daisuke_Ido: My "launchers" don't really save after I restart / quit, or if I happen to need to restart X [03:06] LeetSweden, very neat but needs some work-->please join #kubuntu-kde4 for more [03:06] usser: no questions about Video of any sort other than the framebuffer. It was mainly a keyboard setup. O_o? [03:06] yit4s, Cool yit4s :D Let me know if I can helpp with anything else [03:06] WanderingStar : Please tell me, how can i run the command [03:06] Mimi... i will get another theme once i solve this Super key issue.. i think i am getting close to it. i will tell you the solution if i solve it now [03:06] mimi: yeah one more thing. i need to get my ubuntu boots faster [03:06] sbansal, from the terminal [03:07] can anyone tell me how to uninstall firefox [03:07] sbansal, applications -> accessories -> terminal -> copy the command xrandr --autp [03:07] Thanks arbir ! [03:07] Fishscene, right i just ran it myself weird [03:07] aha, ok!.. I useually install KDE after the installwith ubuntu^^ [03:07] sbansal, applications -> accessories -> terminal -> copy the command xrandr --auto [03:07] usser: lol. :P [03:07] Fishscene, oh well do sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [03:07] mimi: some guy said yesterday that ubuntu dont normally takes alot of time to boot [03:07] Fishscene, find Device section [03:07] tmapj, you want ff2? [03:07] Mimi: u are welcome.. just ping me if u need to talk to me... i am looking at something else to solve this key prob [03:07] yes [03:07] nick_, have you tried not using wine, but using Cedega, has worked with everything i have wanted to play [03:07] tmapj, then install it [03:07] anyone know why i can't make it so that sudo NEVER asks for a password? i do $ sudo visudo ... add a line: "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" AND "user ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" then save changes, but 5 minutes later, i have to enter the pw again :-( [03:07] It doesnot give me any message [03:08] Fishscene, found it? [03:08] just a sec [03:08] thus it runs sucessfully [03:08] but I need to uninstall ff3 for technical reasons [03:08] DrMitch, that is very unwise security-wise [03:08] yit4s, how long does yours take to load? mine takes about 30 seconds. You have to remember though, since you are using Wubi (that is, you installed Ubuntu like it was a windows program, just to test it before doing a real Ubuntu install) because of that, it will run a litle slower. [03:08] found it. [03:08] bazhang, i know and don't care [03:08] Fishscene, add this line Driver "intel" right after Identifier "Configured Video Device" [03:08] it's my home computer [03:08] Daisuke_Ido: any ideas? [03:09] DrMitch, you want to run as root? on irc? ;] [03:09] Done [03:09] i don't sudo xchat [03:09] tmapj, put the person you are talking to in the conversation [03:09] Let me modify my X11 now. [03:09] WanderingStar : What should i do next?? [03:09] i just sudo aptitude and shit [03:09] Fishscene, modify? [03:09] DrMitch, language please [03:09] sbansal, what happend when you ran that, was there any output? [03:09] mimi: yeah i do think that wubi is the cause. hmmm i guess it's about 50 secs or so [03:09] no, there was no output [03:09] I edited the text dump =\ [03:09] mimi: but definitely longer than my XP to boot [03:09] bazhang: appdb lists hardy, but with a different version of wine [03:10] Anyone in here Running on a Dell Machine? [03:10] hey all. after recently rebooting, gstreamer apps dont seem to be able to make any sound. the system makes its sounds, and mplayer can too, but totem and rythnbox are silent. any ideas as to why? [03:10] Coder8, you want to try that version then? [03:10] WanderingStar : no, there was no output [03:10] Im trying to mount a NFS share, but since i need to do it as root i dont have permission to write to the folder i mounting, Any Suggestions? [03:10] mimi: i'm using Intel Celeron 2 Ghz with 512MB ram [03:10] Fishscene, oh lol [03:10] I am comparable to.. [03:10] sbansal, since its a dell try hitting fn+f8 a couple of times, see if cycles to the tv.. [03:10] Streett, what is your issue [03:10] Help me run through these config for sound.. [03:11] ok! Done :D [03:11] yit4s, Yeah, to make it easier for people to *try* Ubuntu before they decide if they want to stick with it, Wubi lets you install Ubuntu in a *fake* partition, so it's a bit slower than it would be if you installed Ubuntu *for real* [03:11] bazhang: well, I'd rather stick to packages available through synaptic, but I guess I could try the latest from winehq [03:11] When I go to a Video Platform No Sound through the Headset [03:11] Fishscene, other than that your config looks fine and pretty standard, [03:11] Coder8, good point [03:11] hi there.. how do you call the part of linux which isn't graphical ? "root terminal" ? i would like to change "root terminal" keyboard layout, someone can help ? [03:11] Fishscene, what program complains about 3d support btw? [03:11] Want to check config to see if they are correct [03:11] EVE-Online Linux Version [03:12] keisangi: it's just called a terminal or a console. [03:12] Starnestommy, thanks [03:12] Starnestommy, any idea how to change console keymap ? [03:12] for Mldonkey,Where can i find the downloaded files?There's nothing in ~/.mldonkey/incoming [03:12] yit4s, play around with ubuntu for a while, if you decide you really like it, and want to install it as a real operating system, you should do that (you can ask here :) ) and then it will be much faster. [03:12] keisangi, root terminal or console while refer to the console of the user root [03:12] Mimi: i solved it [03:12] arbir, :O do tell [03:12] hey, would anyone mind helping me get sound working with gstreamer apps? :) [03:12] yeah its easy [03:12] mimi: i have default partition (C and D drives). D drive is empty so i installed ubuntu on that drive, instead of C, which the XP default drive [03:12] Crimsun istalled AsoundConf Set Default Card [03:13] usser: I'm going to restart X and see what happens. Anything else? [03:13] RoAkSoAx, ok thanks.. how can i change console keymap ? [03:13] Mimi: goto System - > preferences - keyboard [03:13] keisangi: I'm not sure [03:13] Fishscene, hm... nope thats it, try to restart it [03:13] Mimi: click on layouts tab [03:13] Daisuke_Ido: figured it out in #awn....

[03:14] WinSCP has this function, but I switched my laptop to ubuntu so don't really want to use WinSCP on WINE [03:14] anyone? [03:14] Oh my! You're a genious arbir ! really cool! [03:15] Anyone want to help with Config of Sound.. I am on a Dell Machine 512 [03:15] it seems pulseaudio causes quite a few audio problems, why can't I just use alsa directly? [03:15] Fishscene, u here? [03:15] Im trying to mount a NFS share, but since i need to do it as root i dont have permission to write to the folder i mounting, Any Suggestions? [03:15] esotericism1: get Filezilla it was sftp and scp [03:15] esotericism1: or you can use scp from command line [03:15] Coder7, you can, go to system>preferernces>sound pick alsa for all of them [03:15] zChris: use sudo -i [03:15] esotericism1, proberly a dozen ways to do it.. I tink theres a 'fuse' fileystem that can do that. also i recall a 'FAM' deamon that monitored changes [03:15] esotericism1, ifolder? [03:15] PulseAudio is Killed [03:15] mimi: haha thanks... i'm surprised that everything on my laptop work very well in ubuntu [03:15] How do I get Evolution to reload the list of folders on an IMAP server? [03:15] keisangi, let me search [03:15] arbir: but Filezilla doesn't watch folders for changes [03:15] Mimi: i am no hero.. just an imposter who is fumbling his way around linux desktop [03:15] ^_^;; [03:15] Making Me Jealous Mimi [03:16] esotericism1: hmmm.. i missed that line of urs [03:16] esotericism1: ill give it a try [03:16] mimi: last time i installed linux was on 2001 and it was a disaster. i cant even get my sound to work [03:16] arbir: its cool [03:16] WanderingStar: Do you have any other solution to my problem [03:16] Mimi: somehow, i cannot bind Windows + E. when i do that.. my compiz does something to my desktop [03:16] zChris: just type sudo -i then your password and you will get root shell [03:16] i'm with arbir [03:16] I would really appreciate if someone could help me? [03:16] yit4s, yeaahh.... back then it was so nasty.... [03:16] keisangi, try doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data [03:16] esotericism1: use nautilus.. for scp [03:16] arbir, you need to disable that compiz keybinding then [03:16] arbir, does it show all 4 desktops when you hit win + e ? [03:16] ;p [03:17] shivali_, sorry, I don't -- I have nvidia here so its a little different - xrandr should work on intel chips, but apparently not so much :) [03:17] RoAkSoAx, i've found /etc/defaults/console-setup [03:17] Mimi: i work with only one work space.... so my window just sinks in with a big border around it [03:17] thanks for the help [03:17] mimi: but still can i at least improve my startup time? [03:17] arbir, oh yeah, that. [03:17] Thanks for your help!!!!! [03:17] where can i get the ubotu source code? [03:17] esotericism1: yeah but the thing is that i want to mount that nfs shares as user and not as root [03:17] esotericism1: Places -> connect to server and you can specify scp [03:17] arbir, that is the scale plugin iirc [03:17] mimi: like get rid those unwanted startup programs or something === Stormcr0w_ is now known as Stormcr0w] [03:17] I am having trouble getting the Adobe Flash Player working, keep getting the md5 failure on 6.0.6. [03:17] arbir, i dont actually think any of my Keyboard Shortcuts work, now that i think of it! i think I might have them all set up in compiz? :P [03:17] zChris: change the ownership of the folder you are trying to do the mount on [03:18] bazhang: what can we do with scale ? [03:18] esotericism1: it is owned as the user, but when i mount it gets root and libuuid [03:18] arbir, have you considered shutting off compiz [03:18] bazhang: no no i want compiz.. i just discovered it today. let me atleast enjoy my honeymoon with it :-) [03:18] shut down compiz? NEVER! :P [03:18] arbir: i couldnt find scp there [03:18] if the owner owns it then mount as the owner === _CaNeS is now known as CaNeS [03:18] well yit4s you've only been using it for a couple days, no? I found this guide http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/tweak-and-optimize-ubuntu-linux-boot.html but your install is fresh, it shoudlnt have a lot of junk [03:19] How do I get Evolution to refresh/reload the list of folders on an IMAP server? [03:19] The official Fix doesn't work... [03:19] zChris..... then it must be sftp.. cannot remember i used something [03:19] Doesn't do squat.... [03:19] can anyone give me some advise? i wanted to install unrar so i typed sudo apt-get install rar, and a package was installed, but i meant to write sudo apt-get install unrar, which i then did. everything worked but, what installed when i first typed sudo apt-get install rar? [03:19] arbir, then go through all the keybindings and check which one-->or spend five seconds in #compiz-fusion and let them tell you [03:19] Vladimir32tl: nothing must have got installed as you were a normal user [03:19] mimi: been about a week now. and it's been 3 days in a row without having to boot into windows [03:19] usser: Yea, same scenario =\ [03:20] bazhang: where can i go through the compiz key bindings ? [03:20] advanced desktops effects manager arbir [03:20] bazhang: i am there === x_ is now known as huhuhuh [03:20] but which option there ? [03:20] why is there no compiz settings manager in "Apperance Pref" "Visual Effects" tab anymore? [03:20] helou [03:20] arbir: well, unrar did install properly because i can open rar files, i was just worried that maybe i installed a bad program when i first typed sudo apt-get install rar [03:20] yit4s, so what are your intentions? Did you mean to have Ubuntu become the OS you want to use? Or do you want to keep using Windows mainly, and just use Ubuntu to play around? [03:21] arbir look through them all ;] [03:21] Can someone please point me to some online reference for the "ctrl-alt-" keystrokes, like ctrl-alt-S, ctrl-alt-R, etc? [03:21] surabaya [03:21] Vladimir32tl: try an sudo apt-get autoremove [03:21] olpuiopiy [03:21] Vladimir32tl: this should clean up any mess made [03:21] Vladimir32tl: you installed the rar archiver. you can uninstall by using sudo apt-get remove rar [03:21] Fishscen1, take a look here http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=631647 looks like linux client doesnt support intel graphics [03:21] you_jelek, english please [03:22] arbir and bbyever: thanks a lot guys [03:22] u are welcome Vladimir32tl enjoy [03:22] Vladimir32tl: no [03:22] mimi: i want to have both but i'm not sure now [03:22] Fishscen1, you may have better luck running windows client thru wine [03:22] Vladimir32tl: problem [03:22] bazhand which ws that irc channel for compiz ? [03:22] mimi: since i get do much of the stuff on ubuntu [03:22] usser: yea probably. [03:23] Usser: Thank you so much for all your help :D [03:23] where can i get the ubotu source code? [03:23] Fishscen1, no problem [03:23] bbyever, the bot? [03:23] bazhang: yes [03:23] bbyever: it's a supybot using a factoid plugin [03:23] keisangi, install the console-data package: sudo apt-get install console-data and you will see... [03:24] Starnestommy: thanks [03:24] o/ bbyever [03:24] bbyever, here are the factoids: http://jussi01.com/web/ [03:24] mimi are you there ? [03:24] Hey all. I've been scouring the webs looking for a solution to my problem now, since 1:20am... SSH and SCP work. I've tested them both. However sshfs, nautilus and gftp all fail. What am I doing wrong? [03:24] yeah arbir [03:24] Mimi: do you realise you cannot just bind the super key [03:24] RoAkSoAx: thanks [03:24] what is the three different type of relation-ship between the classes ? [03:24] I've killed my known_hosts in case, I've read up a few things that seemed irrelevant (sshd and sftp and some more keys stuff) [03:24] Mimi: you cannot make the start menu popup with the windows key [03:25] tiger_evan, off topic for here [03:25] arbir, the thought didnt occur to me, beacause I *dont* want to bind just the Windows key *shudder* [03:25] Mimi: it has to be a combination [03:25] mimi: in that article you gave me, it said something about preload application [03:25] i just installed a .deb file, how do i uninstall it? [03:25] arbir, I think the current for that is Ctrl + Esc? [03:25] I can ssh, and scp, but nautilus, gftp and sshfs all give the same error... is this a ssh version issue? are those apps seeing something different to my ssh and scp ? [03:25] cgentry72: open synaptic. seach for the package and uninstall [03:25] cgentry72: use the package manager to remove the program -- it should have a name similar to the .deb [03:25] Mimi: yeah yeah thats a good old combo [03:25] I can't get Adobe Flash working... [03:26] Mimi: also , you canot configure the right windows key.. [03:26] i looked there and didnt see it [03:26] cgentry72: if it was a .deb, it's there [03:26] adam7, nevermind i found it sorry [03:26] <^Tech-Help^> is there a way i can disable my caps lock key in ubuntu? [03:26] cgentry72: no worries :) [03:27] yit4s, I think if you're going thrugh all that trouble to make it faster, you should at least do a "real" install of Ubuntu *wink* otherwise it's still gonna be slower than a real Ubuntu install , you know? [03:27] ^Tech-Help^: in the Keyboard preferences, you can change the behavior of the caps key to a ctrl key or something [03:27] cgentry72, dpkg -r packagename [03:27] Mimi: my keys dont work, even though they have been programmed.. i think compiz is holding them tight [03:27] <^Tech-Help^> adam7 ok thanks [03:27] bazhang: I installed WICD. thanks it's working great so far [03:27] emma, got it thanks though [03:27] mimi: i guess so [03:27] glad to hear it sgt [03:27] arbir, might be, but i just ran shift alt up (which is a gnome keyboard shortcut , not compiz) and it worked [03:28] does kde remember window sizes and positions? [03:28] andronicus, sure [03:28] gnome/metacity certainly fails in that respect [03:28] shift + alt + up.. shows me all two of my windows tiled @ Mimi [03:28] mimi: what else do i need?? [03:28] k i'm gonna try kubuntu [03:28] andronicus: look up devilspie [03:28] andronicus, okay good luck. [03:28] What do you mean, yit4s ? For what? [03:29] andronicus, or just switch to gnome Muahahaha!!! [03:29] mimi: one thing is my sound. it produces nothing after some time i use ubuntu [03:29] is there a xubuntu specific channel? or can i post my xubuntu questions here? [03:29] post here if you wish [03:29] andronicus: #xubuntu, I think [03:29] andronicus: yes #xubuntu [03:29] andronicus, there is a #xubuntu [03:29] mimi: some guy said yesterday that i should disable the SPDIF something [03:29] kk ty [03:29] i have an hp psc 750 printer and it is set a the default printer and it prints, but sometimes it will slow down print towards the end and will halt the print so that the last 5% or so does not print out. i was printing .pdf files. may any one help me out? (using 8.04) [03:29] andronicus: but feel free to post here as well, I think :) [03:29] yit4s, try closing programs if your sound stops working. I've found firefox beta 3 sometimes locks my audio [03:30] andronicus: if is it xfce specific, ask there... [03:30] hello? [03:30] hello. [03:30] this the help channel? [03:30] yit4s, Mmmm... What happens? Works randomly? What applications work and which do not, if that's the case? [03:30] fishscen1: i think it's amarok. after i closed it, the sound stops working. [03:30] matthew_, yes if you have a question just jump in with it. [03:31] I can't get my wine window to close, how can I open something, similar to windows task manager to close it? [03:31] mimi: if that happens, i just CTRL+ALT+backspace my ubuntu [03:31] mathew -- open a terminal and type killall wine [03:31] I am on a Dell Machine Running 8.04 [03:31] matthew_, xkill works too [03:31] <^Tech-Help^> hmmm adam7 making caps key the cntl key is just as annoying, im on a small keyboard (laptop) and i keep accidentally hitting caps button [03:31] Been trying to Config Sound [03:31] <^Tech-Help^> is there a way to completely disable it? [03:31] yit4s, if it happens, run "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" [03:32] What about just a certain application, just type exp. killall firefox or does it only work for some stuff? [03:32] matthew_, let me know if that works please. [03:32] eek, nasty. yit4s could you go to Preferences>Sound and tell me what it's setup to? Is it pulseaudio? If so, can you hit the Test button on all to see if they will make a sound? Though its odd amarok does that [03:32] Can Someone Please Assist? [03:32] !ask | Streett [03:32] Streett: 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. :-) [03:32] !patience [03:32] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:32] ^Tech-Help^: probaly - I don't know how though :( [03:32] Streett: did your Dell come with Ubuntu pre-installed? [03:32] matthew_, if you know the right name it works. for example to shut down firefox you have to say killall firefox-bin [03:32] <^Tech-Help^> ok thanks anyway :D [03:32] !enter [03:32] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:32] emma: wine: no process killed matthew@matthew-desktop:~$ [03:33] matthew_, okay then wine isnt' the right word [03:33] matthew_, killall will work for most processes - if you would like a graphical way gnome-system-monitor (system->administration) works [03:33] I think its wineserver [03:33] matthew_: ps aux | grep wine [03:33] hi mimi [03:33] ^Tech-Help^: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412311 [03:33] Hey marckie [03:33] when using apt-build how do i figure the source version of the app i would like to build? [03:33] matthew try killall wineserver [03:33] Crimsn Used Asound Set Default Car in the Terminal [03:33] Card [03:33] wazzup mimi? [03:34] matthew_, if that does not work then in terminal type: top [03:34] No My Dell didn't come with 8.04 I installed it myself [03:34] marckie, not much, just trying to stay awake ... lol ... How you doing? What brings you here tonight ;) [03:34] mimi: my device on that sound properties is HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) [03:34] mimi: i dont realize you can turn off the nasty beep on that properties! [03:34] m0u5e, have you tried "apt-build --help"? [03:34] Streett: oh, OK. no Dell techs for you. :) [03:34] !ask | marckie [03:34] marckie: 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. :-) [03:34] just surfin [03:34] oh wow, I just came from 7,10 to now im on 8.04 the system monitor has changed [03:34] * mneptok has been annoying them all night [03:34] Fishscen1: yes, info does not give me the version number [03:34] hardy rocks! [03:34] oh [03:34] !ot | marckie [03:34] When I go up to Any Video Platform.. Like YouTube..Graphics are Fine.. I can't get sound through My Headset [03:34] marckie: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:35] Fishscen1: where does apt-build fetch the source files from? ... is it the ubuntu repos (same versions as apt-get) [03:35] yit4s, Yeah, nasty beep gives me nightmares lol ---- not the device, but the things above it. the ones that have "Test" next to it [03:35] before I used to create scripts and edit config files to make my vbox run [03:35] d [03:35] USB .. I can hear the Ubuntu Theme when Plugged in [03:35] and usb and shared folders to work [03:35] rock solid indeed! [03:35] And When a stream is running through the Video player I can hear [03:35] yeah hardy is really nice [03:35] matthew_, if you want a GUI way to do this, then right click on the Gnome pannel and select 'add to pannel' and then select "force quit" icon [03:35] m0u5e, I have no idea, I just know the help command :P [03:35] Any ssh gurus , or someone who has the same problem, google has found 2/3 similar but unrelated issues : ssh and scp work, but nautilus / sshfs / and gftp don't make ssh connections..... [03:36] matthew_, so were we successful already or do we still need to close the hung window? [03:36] It is Just when I go to YouTube, Viddler, Or Meta Cafe Or Any other platform that I am having sound issues [03:36] what is the max of SWAP-disk size? [03:36] in ubuntu [03:36] i still have a hung window...a install window, a game that was trying to also install directx, through wine [03:36] LeetSweden, whatever you choose-->I've got 6GB [03:36] im gonna add that to my panel [03:37] matthew_, cool please let me know when it is on your pannel. [03:37] Ok... I useually got 2GB [03:37] Here is the last thing that Crimsun did.. Http://Paste.Ubuntu.Com/11028/ [03:37] emma: yeah I have "force quit" on my top panel [03:37] matthew_: did you try alt+f2 and type in xkill then click on the title bar of the hung window? [03:37] LeetSweden, more than enough likely [03:37] Fishscen1: anyone here using apt-build? can you offer me any insight the pros to using it? [03:37] is there a glipper substitute for ubuntu hardy .... in gutsy it worked but it didnt like? [03:37] Fishscen1: oops not directed at you xD [03:37] !locate [03:37] locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [03:37] Okay then click on it and then click on the window you want to force to quit [03:37] No problem. lol [03:37] yeah I did alt f2 , also no response [03:38] And Http://paste.ubuntu.com/11030/ === RoAk is now known as RoAkSoAx [03:38] also force quit didn't do it, ill will just have to restart maybe [03:38] could someone tell me about EnvyNG? [03:38] mimi: everything works perfectly fine now [03:38] !envyng [03:38] !envy | chaosrl [03:38] 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. [03:38] chaosrl: please see above [03:38] yit4s, what did you do? [03:38] chaosrl, installs drivers for you [03:38] mimi: not sure [03:38] matthew_, no dont restart [03:38] do i get it directly from synaptic? [03:39] yes chaosrl [03:39] matthew_, i would like to try some other things if you don't mind. [03:39] bazhang, thanks [03:39] matthew_, open a terminal and type top [03:39] mimi: god i should hold my books and study because i have exam tomorrow! [03:39] emma: im open to new ideas, im still a ubuntu newbie sorry [03:39] yit4s, exams, poo..... ;p well, have fun studying ^^ [03:40] matthew_, believe me I am too. No worries. :) [03:40] one is there a glipper substitute for ubuntu hardy .... in gutsy it worked but it doesnte exist (the thing that lets you copy & paste and remember what you pasted) [03:40] mimi: bleh, i hate school [03:40] matthew_, did you start top in the terminal? [03:40] yeah, alot of stuff on there now [03:40] Inside of Sound Preferences Audio Conferencing > Sound Capture is Not Testing [03:40] okay look down the right hand column to find wine or something like it. [03:41] The column that says command. [03:41] matthew_, try doing in terminal: ps faux | grep windows-app (replace windows-app with the actual name of the app) [03:42] i dont see anything to do with wine there [03:42] matthew_, you can also try ps -ax | grep wine [03:43] sry its a lil long [03:43] matthew@matthew-desktop:~$ ps -ax | grep wine [03:43] Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [03:43] 14482 pts/1 R+ 0:00 grep wine [03:43] matthew_, nothign with wine but do you see something related to the windows app? [03:43] dont post it all here [03:43] No! [03:43] You spell little. [03:43] Not "lil" [03:43] Little. [03:43] There are two ts and an e in there. [03:43] hmmm [03:43] Mimi - I like your command a lot. What a nice way to get the PID [03:43] sorry, its faster for me to type lil not little or c not see sometimes....all i see is ubuntu apps [03:43] what happens if i just restart my system? [03:43] can i uninstall firefox 3 and install firefox 2? [03:44] matthew_, hehe make sur eyou type the hiffen, not copy paste... type the command [03:44] Faster is no reason to sound stupider. [03:44] i just hate software in beta version [03:44] Mimi -- I always tried to get the PID from top. I don't see why a person would use top to get the PID when your way works so nicely. [03:44] emma, yeah I got sicking of tunning top ;p [03:44] matthew_, you can do that too === beasty_ is now known as beasty [03:44] emma, is easier by doing ps ax | grep something [03:44] restarting wont damage anything? [03:45] RoAkSoAx, without the hyphen? [03:45] matthew_, i don't think so [03:45] matthew_, please try this: wineboot [03:45] emma, yeah without it [03:45] Hi guys, I am new and have a quick question [03:45] involving vmware fusion [03:45] !ask | plague27 go ahead and ask : [03:45] plague27 go ahead and ask :: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[03:46] RoAkSoAx, I don't see a difference in the outupt betwen ax and -ax [03:46] How do I get nvidia driver support working under macbook pro vmware fusion installs? === ady is now known as Surge_Dunie [03:46] i think ill just restart... [03:46] matthew_, did wineboot kill the wine application you were running? [03:47] Okay [03:47] emma, but when you use it this appears: Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html [03:47] plague27, are you sure that's an Ubuntu question? [03:47] no, its still open [03:47] matthew_: ps aux | grep wine [03:47] ps dosent need a - befor its arguments these days [03:47] (in a terminal) [03:47] RoAkSoAx, I think he copy/pasted, he should have typed it out so that it uses the correct - symbol [03:47] RoAkSoAx, is that something different in Hardy? Both ways work for me. [03:47] matthew_: pastebin the output [03:47] no, I am not, but I would preferrably like to have a native macbook pro install of ubuntu, anyone familiar with it? [03:47] really Dr_Will? I didnt know, than ks for the tip ^_^ [03:48] plague27, is that a cute white laptop with a bitten apple on the backside? [03:48] jk :) [03:48] !envy [03:48] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package.

[04:03] Gohalien: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779934 <--- I'm working on it right now - I did get Vmware to start :) [04:03] SlimThug875, for example, say you need to connect to MY computer from YOUR computer, you would use THAT application.

[04:04] binarymutant, just run 'mplayer $url' in terminal, where $url is the address of the stream [04:04] plik, ipod only plays mp3 [04:04] SlimThug875, what are you trying to do? if you can be more specific maybe we can help [04:04] spork969: it is simple - once you set the dir structurethe ripper (abcde) take care of the rest [04:04] SlimThug875: I think it has to be one that is running VNC or RDP [04:04] Krimson: not sure if this is the right thing but sounds like my problem, here is the link -> http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu-linux.html [04:04] Thanks a lot Doobe08. [04:04] are there anywhere in Ubuntu to set my video output preferences besides "Screen Resolution"? [04:05] does anyone know of a good link that details how to trick windoze XP into installing on a drive that is not the master? it wants to diddle the master drive (and install its MBR) but that's the drive that my ubuntu 7.10 OS is on and i don't want XP to bugger that. [04:05] No prob Krim [04:05] can it be a comp running win xp?? [04:05] yes it can SlimThug875 [04:05] secret901, run 'gksu displayconfig-gtk' [04:05] spork969: if you're serious about a good collection that you don't want to rip again when technology gets better rip to FLAC (lossless) and then encode to mp3 after [04:05] plik: i'd reccomend grip for ripping cds [04:05] geekkitt: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [04:05] spork969, it also plays apple lossless, but I doubt he'd have any easier time with that. [04:05] what information do i need from the computer i want to connect to? [04:05] spork969: see hydrogenaudio.org for good info [04:05] SlimThug875: the ip address. [04:05] thats it? [04:05] SlimThug875: and a username on that machine [04:05] ok === evalles_ is now known as keffie_jayx [04:05] joetheodd, that's m4a, right? [04:06] what can i do once i am connected?

[04:06] adam7, can you recomend me any good multithread downloader for ubuntu ? [04:07] Odd-rationale: sokay :) [04:07] secret901, yep. i haven't used it, but it's there [04:07] Gohalien: if you're using Firefox, downthemall works well [04:07] would i need the password to the user login name? [04:07] SlimThug875, read that link please [04:07] SlimThug875: yes [04:07] Thanks [04:07] im so installing it on my boyfriends computer so i can spy on him [04:07] jk!! [04:07] Gohalien, and if you're looking for a standalone one, you might look at d4x [04:07] can i get xubuntu to remember window positions on my second monitor? [04:07] spork969, m4a is actually the same as mp4, which is just an extension to mp3, according to wikipedia [04:08] tanath: I can only either set it as the default screen or disabled [04:08] thanks tanath [04:08] if you install all the gstreamer plugins, you can play anything [04:08] joetheodd, mp4 is video... [04:08] andronicus, why the worry about window position [04:08] How do I comment out something? [04:08] spork969, or maybe not, I get easily confused :P [04:08] In gedit [04:08] Krimson, with a # [04:08] secret901, then chances are you need to make sure you have the right video driver. it can help you with that too. there's a handy test button as well [04:08] Krimson: depends on the language/file [04:08] Krimson: put a # at the begining of a line [04:08] Krimson, remove the # symbol [04:08] Whats gud to burn avi to dvd? [04:08] guys he said comment OUT [04:08] i don't like having to move windows over to my second monitor every time they are opened, e.g. firefox [04:08] tanath: I know it's possible to output the video to TV, but dunno how. when I'm in the login screen it's output to TV but when I'm logged in it's not [04:08] mimi you mean add ;] [04:08] no? [04:09] oopsy [04:09] spork969, apparently the container format m4a can contain Apple Lossless, but I'm not sure if ripping to m4a is necessarily going to be Apple Lossless, if you follow [04:09] Mimi: comment out is adding a # [04:09] is this not possible on xubuntu as well? [04:09] if i install 8.04 onto a broken 7.04/7.10 install on / ( /home is on a seperate disk), what will i lose? will it format and install fresh, or upgrade? [04:09] Can I do like ## to block off a comment? Or do I do #/#? [04:09] Or something? [04:09] Mimi: you must be getting sleepy... ;) [04:09] voltei [04:09] scribawf, devede [04:09] spork969, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lossless and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4A [04:09] Krimson, before the line [04:09] demorei mais voltei [04:09] Mimi: it's kinda hard to comment _in_ [04:09] arg i was thinking 'comment' would be 'add #' and 'comment out'/'remove a comment' would be 'remove a $' [04:09] Krimson: you should just need a single # at the beginning of each line [04:09] could someone help me get compiz working with my laptop, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500? [04:09] i-hope-this-name: It will install fresh, yes. And since home is separate, you wont lose anything there. [04:09] !fr | sonic_ [04:09] sonic_: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[04:09] Ok, thanks [04:09] secret901, i have no experience with that. sorry [04:10] Krimson: depends on the config file usually # to end of line [04:10] tanath - devede? is that c orrect? [04:10] i-hope-this-name: yes. [04:10] what is wine? [04:10] plik: It's a gedit [04:10] !wine | yit4s [04:10] yit4s: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:10] joetheodd, yeah i get it. thats why im trying grip. m4p is protected version of m4a which is apples propeitary audio format, based off mp3 [04:10] i-hope-this-name: Yes [04:10] way to run games and such yit4s [04:10] I'm going to bed, good night all [04:10] scribawf, yep. you can find it in add/remove, or synaptic, or install it via terminal [04:10] yit4s: Drink made from grapes and sometimes honey. =D [04:10] does the comp you want to connect too have to have tsc? [04:10] how do i get apport to run through and report all the unreported stuff? [04:10] sera q o moço q tava mi ajudando ta ai ainda? [04:10] i-hope-this-name: you'll lose all your apps, but not your personal settings, but you will lose systemwide settings -- however, its really easy to have synaptic generate a list of packages to reinstall when you get your new system [04:10] can i install it on ubuntu? [04:10] Night mimi [04:10] yit4s: yes [04:10] sonic_, english here please [04:10] yit4s: Yes [04:11] tanath gud 'nuf tnx much will give it a try! [04:11] does the comp you want to connect too have to have tsc? [04:11] adam7: hmm. how would i create this list? [04:11] SlimThug875: no, but it needs an RDP or VNC server [04:11] what is the difference between wine and qemu? [04:11] adam7: actually, i don't think it would work. IIRC synaptic doesn't exist anymore [04:11] omg [04:11] Flannel: alrightie, thanks [04:11] whats that? [04:11] AHAHa! i figured it out [04:11] yit4s: wine is a compatibility layer, qemu is a virtual machine [04:11] yit4s: wine is a compatibility layer and doesn't need you to install windows on it. qemu requires that you install windows on it [04:11] i-hope-this-name, say what? i use synaptic all the time.. [04:11] anyone know how to set up Ubuntu so that it outputs the video to tv with an Intel 945 accelerator? [04:11] i-hope-this-name: I hope it does, I'm using it :/ [04:11] somthin like that... [04:11] I love it, my isp made a mistake, gave me double bandwidth ! [04:11] was it emma that asked about apt-build last night? [04:12] i-hope-this-name: synaptic being the package manager, yes? [04:12] secret901, via vga or other [04:12] what do you mean by installing windows on it? [04:12] Ok, how do I create a file from the terminal? Like /etc/default/wpasupplicant? [04:12] emma: anyways (if it is you) i used apt-get build-dep to build the dep *-dev files, and then checkinstalled to install [04:12] tanath, adam7: i tried to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 using update-manager, left it on overnight and awoke to a completely broken system [04:12] Krimson, touch [04:12] bazhang: s-video [04:12] i-hope-this-name, strange... [04:12] usser: The create command is touch? [04:12] yit4s: you have to install windows in qemu to run windows stuff. Wine doesn't need you to install windows in it [04:12] adam7: yeah, synaptic package manager [04:13] i-hope-this-name: oh, on *your* system synaptic doesn't exist :) [04:13] Krimson, yep :) [04:13] tanath: very strange. [04:13] Thanks usser [04:13] Am I being /ignore d or something? [04:13] secret901, what have you tried--mine senses tv at startup [04:13] adam7: exactly. very few apps still do. [04:13] i-hope-this-name, try again? [04:13] i-hope-this-name: anyway, it won't do you much good if the packages you want aren't installed at the moment [04:13] oh [04:13] Krimson, but it has to be prepended by sudo since /etc is system catalog [04:13] usser: It says permission denied. Any suggestions? [04:13] bazhang: at the logon screen, it outputs to TV, but when I'm logged in it won't [04:13] adam7: they /might/ be installed, but I cant get to them [04:13] Krimson, use sudo [04:13] Oh, ok. Thanks again! [04:13] Ubuntu 8.10 ATI Mobility Radeon 7500? [04:13] tanath: which part? [04:14] Ashfire908, that is a tough question so many are not able to answer it most likely [04:14] i-hope-this-name, um, the upgrade part? :P [04:14] usser: sudo touch /etc... ja? [04:14] i-hope-this-name: it sounds to me like you'd be best off with a fresh install and just installing the apps by hand :) [04:14] Krimson, yes [04:14] anyone who's used lynx to grep some information from a page, do you know of any way to do it with a logged in session? [04:14] i-hope-this-name: can you still boot into your system? [04:14] adam7: that's what i was afraid of. now i just need to figure out how to use windows to get me an iso [04:14] what is "RDP" or "VNC"?? [04:14] usser: Sudo does what? Tells it to use admin or root privileges? [04:14] musikgoat: use wget [04:14] Krimson: yes [04:14] bazhang: does it continue to output to TV for you after you logged in without having to do anything? [04:15] adam7: well, i can get to a terminal, but gdm, login and mpd aren't working [04:15] !sudo [04:15] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [04:15] SlimThug875: they're two protocols used for remote desktop connections [04:15] Krimson, ^ [04:15] tanath: i tried upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 and it... didn't. [04:15] i-hope-this-name: well, there is an apt-get command that'll list the installed packages [04:15] whats the name of an app fo change the resolution in gnome [04:15] secret901, yes but this is via vga-->never tried with s-video [04:15] Krimson, yes it escalates your privileges to basically god of the system [04:15] to* [04:15] i-hope-this-name, heh. and did you try it again?

[04:16] Flannel: thanks [04:16] tanath: gdm doesn't work [04:16] yes [04:16] What works on "udf" files? [04:16] i-hope-this-name, if you have an ubuntu disc that is [04:16] musikgoat: its all in the man page [04:16] Serveck: just distro upgrade [04:16] i-hope-this-name: theoretically, yes [04:16] how? [04:16] tanath: yup, on one right now [04:16] i-hope-this-name, well, you can upgrade from CLI too [04:16] I have a nvidia 8600gt, but compiz performance is poor (seems laggy). Is there any xorg.conf option I should use with nvidia cards? (well, its not my card, a cousin's) [04:17] odd-rationale: i have, but it seems to be quite evil to install, /pun [04:17] tanath: oh? [04:17] matthew what does xrandr give [04:17] im booted into 8.04 (off the disk) [04:17] Krimson, just prepend the filename by the your favorite editor's name, like sudo gedit filename or sudo nano filename [04:17] tanath: how would i do that? === kuadrosx__ is now known as kuadrosx [04:17] usser: Thanks - =D [04:17] tanath: the ubuntu repos are slowwwww as hell right now, but it's worth a shot [04:17] andronicus: also i thing fluxbox has that nice functionality... [04:17] how can i hide my IP address?!? [04:17] wirechief_: xrandr in terminal ? [04:17] SlimThug875: from who? [04:17] ouellettesr, not sure about feisty, but gutsy is sudo dpkg-configure xserver-xorg and hardy is gksudo displayconfig-gtk [04:17] everyone [04:17] matthew use xrander -s 1024x768 or what ever you are trying [04:17] i-hope-this-name, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' [04:17] SlimThug875: on irc? [04:17] yeah [04:17] i-hope-this-name, try another mirror [04:17] matthew yes [04:17] tanath: ah-ha. lemmie jot that down [04:18] aqui é só ingles?

[04:18] tanath: okay, how do i switch mirrors in CLI? [04:18] !br [04:18] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [04:18] odd-rationale: does fluxbox work with compiz? [04:18] andronicus: no [04:18] yeah i just need to change the rez real quick i dont want to reconfigure x [04:18] sonic_, /join #ubuntu-br [04:18] whats the keycombio for forquitting a program? [04:18] its showing max is 1024....my screen does 1280 x 1024 though.. [04:18] kinda silly, how do i login root in the terminal [04:18] andronicus: it is much faster than compiz ... :) [04:18] i-hope-this-name, there's an app you can install to find the best mirror... lemme find it... [04:18] I'm trying to ouput S-video to the TV using an Intel GM 945 accelerator card. It's able to output at the login screen but couldn't after I'm logged in. Anyone know if Ubuntu lauches anything else for X during login? [04:18] what works on "udf" files? [04:19] tanath: thanks [04:19] wakka: sudo -i, but it's not usually needed or recommended [04:19] wakka: in fact, it's reccomended against [04:19] odd-rationale: but is it prettier? [04:19] matthew well you may need to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a teminal then do the xrandr to set [04:19] scribawf: IIRC there's a udf to iso converter, udf2iso, i think [04:19] any recommendation on what software to use for MSN/Yahoo webcamming? [04:19] andronicus: umm, it *can* be... [04:19] i-hope-this-name, netselect-apt [04:19] i used aMSN and i hate it [04:20] matthew if you dont know the answers to the questions just select default by using the return key [04:20] i-hope-this-name: thank you [04:20] tanath: awesome, thanks [04:20] i-hope-this-name, so, 'sudo apt-get install netselect-apt && sudo netselect-apt' ought to do it [04:20] tanath: right on. [04:20] i-hope-this-name OK tnx will check it out! [04:20] tanath: is there any way to log onto that install from this livecd without rebooting? [04:20] odd-rationale: i believe i think I am going to reinstall ubuntu and try to get devils pie to work as it looks like it would partially alleviate my primary gripe with metacity [04:20] scribawf: hang on, lemmie find the name for you [04:21] andronicus: ok [04:21] i-hope-this-name: you might be able to chroot into it [04:21] i-hope-this-name, yep [04:21] i-hope-this-name, chroot [04:21] i-hope-this-name OK standing-by [04:21] odd-rationale: ty for your assistance [04:21] andronicus: np [04:21] i-hope-this-name, be root though [04:21] adam7, tanath: sudo chroot? [04:22] i-hope-this-name, use the root terminal [04:22] is it possible for ubuntu overwrite an NTFS and format it, then install [04:22] even when you never told it to format it.. [04:22] graham, yes [04:22] i-hope-this-name: yeah, sudo chroot /path/to/install [04:22] tanath: root term? sudo -i ? [04:22] i-hope-this-name, it's best to use the root terminal shortcut [04:22] i-hope-this-name: yeah, sudo -i works fine [04:22] becuase i just TRIED to install it to my ext and swap partitions [04:23] but it put it on my raid NTFS (i think) instead [04:23] would it whipe out windows? [04:23] adam7, tanath: excellent [04:23] adam7, he's looking to upgrade the system from a chroot. i've done it before. best to use the actual root terminal [04:23] or just mess up the booting [04:23] graham: probably both [04:23] tanath: what's the different? they're both root? [04:23] hey can someone tell me what i need to run to install build-essential? [04:23] ok, is there anything i can type into the terminal to change my resolution? I did what you said in that xserver screen [04:23] eisenhower: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:23] adam7, well, for instance i had some complaints about things not being mounted in /proc [04:23] ty [04:23] still shows 1024 [04:23] eisenhower: sudo apt-get instlal build-essential [04:23] wait.. if ..oh [04:23] sudo apt-get install eisenhower [04:23] scribawf: i lost my cheatsheet file, but i do believe its udf2iso [04:24] adam7, and frankly, i forget how to fix it :P [04:24] if it installed on my NTFS that means it must have formatted it [04:24] tanath: that's cause you probably have to mount --bind /proc into the chrooted system's filesystem [04:24] matthew use xrandr and see if you have other resolutions available now [04:24] that ticks me off, i never told it to. [04:24] adam7, something similar to that [04:24] i-hope-this-name, OK can give it a go I'll figure it out - Tnx much [04:24] but now im in a pickle, i cant run windows or ubuntu 8 becuase it says error grub error [04:24] i did use xrandr, no other resolutions are there, i was at 1280 x 1024 in ubuntu 7.10 and win xp [04:24] 21 [04:24] * i-hope-this-name nods [04:25] matthew then use xrandr 1280x800 or whatever you have available that you want to use [04:25] graham, did you have a backup [04:25] adam7, tanath: so, my term says "root@ubuntu:/#" now... i'm good to go? [04:25] matthew xrandr -s [04:25] i-hope-this-name, yep [04:25] i-hope-this-name: yeah, I think so [04:25] usser, that worked. Now I have another question [04:25] well no, but i tried putting in my windows disk [04:25] when i try and recover it says cannot find C [04:25] so windows does not recognize my previously NTFS raid drive [04:25] adam7, tanath: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." might this have something to do with my broken install? [04:25] and linux cant load it [04:25] and slax coudlnt mount it to view files.... [04:26] graham, it is gone then [04:26] i-hope-this-name: yeah, run the command it gives you, it should fix the problem [04:26] for sure? is there anyway to use raid or somethign on linux [04:26] to somehow..view it.. [04:26] graham, unless it is just the partition tables missing [04:26] adam7: alright [04:26] adam7: ha, it's complaining about not being able to create /dev/null... that wont cause problems, will it? [04:26] i-hope-this-name, yep [04:26] Does anyone know how to change my iPod's association from rhythmbox to amarok? [04:26] well it had no partitions, all NTFS [04:27] one drive one partition [04:27] does Ubuntu load any additional x programs after you get past the login screen? [04:27] Krimson, install amarok [04:27] secret901, yes [04:27] secret901: thinks like conky, i believe [04:27] i-hope-this-name: well, technically, if you're chroot'ing into a system, you probably should be mounting /dev, /proc, and /sys in the chroot'ed system's filesystem hierarchy, but keep going if it doesn't die on you [04:27] tanath: what are they? are they needed? [04:27] i-hope-this-name, i think i've had that before.. :-/ [04:27] im just confused at how ubuntu didnt isntall itself on the ext3 partition i MADE DURING the installation [04:27] has anybody gotten lightscribe to work under 8.04 AMD64? [04:27] I got a problem that selinux cannot be installed if its boot manager is lilo, and cannot be removed after the bad installation. [04:28] secret901, you mean, before it finishes logging in? or after? [04:28] adam7: it looks like it's doing alright [04:28] how do i open pictures through the terminal? [04:28] tanath: had what? [04:28] Bazhang, I have installed amarok. However, when I plug in my iPod it does not run, rhythmbox does. I went to system>preferences>removable drives and media and I do not see a multimedia screen underwhich my ipod is listed. [04:28] I mean between the time you enter your login credentials [04:28] graham: Did you give it the right location? [04:28] i-hope-this-name, that /dev/null thing [04:28] matthew try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [04:28] Is there someone using selinux? [04:28] i-hope-this-name, not sure what i did, or if it mattered [04:28] tanath: ah, okay [04:29] tanath: I mean the time after you enter your login credentials and when your desktop shows up [04:29] tanath: well, if it's tossing something to /dev/null, it doesn't matter if that's not a real location, that's kinda the point IIRC [04:29] idk, i made the partition,. converted 2 fat32's to ext3 and swap, made the ext3 have a "/" directory or whatever [04:29] Krimson, tried removing rhythmbox [04:29] secret901, _after_ desktop shows up, and everything seems done? [04:29] then clicked next [04:29] and it installed [04:29] Krimson: you want preferred applications instead of that [04:29] tanath: yes [04:29] i-hope-this-name, true [04:29] but instead i think it installed on my already used....ntfs... [04:29] Krimson: system -> prefs -> preferred aps [04:29] with windows. [04:29] secret901, well, some things are scheduled [04:29] adam7: Is it under that? I'm sorry, let me take a look... [04:29] how do i open pictures through the terminal???? command /home/usr/image.png something like that [04:29] Krimson: it is on mine :) [04:29] wirechief_, does it not matter where the -phigh goes? thought it was in the middle [04:29] ok i did [04:29] secret901, but as for user apps, you can check your sessions applet [04:30] tanath: what I'm seeing is when the login screen is displayed, the computer outputs video to TV, but when I'm logged in, it doesn't do that [04:30] midori: are you running X? [04:30] secret901, System > Prefs > Sessions [04:30] warning: overwriting possibly-customized configuration [04:30] adam7, yes i am. [04:30] adam7: Do I just use "custom" and type in amarok? [04:30] tanath: I'm wondering if any program is launched during that time that would change that [04:30] bazhang i have tried it both ways [04:30] hey guys i have a manual installation of firefox, anyway to install the mplayer mozilla plugin without installing firefox from the repos becvause it "depends" on it? [04:30] secret901, weird. i don't know much about that though [04:30] wirechief_, both work then? thanks ;] [04:31] bazhang at least on other distros ;) [04:31] Krimson: I think that would probably work - I don't own an iPod though :) [04:31] aw crap, how do i get out of a man page? [04:31] i-hope-this-name, it shouldn't matter, but if the app gets an unexpected error, it could halt things [04:31] i-hope-this-name: press q [04:31] adam7: awesome! thanks [04:31] do raid harddrives show up in the ubuntu disk management? [04:31] wirechief_: I did what you put, still nothing. [04:31] i-hope-this-name, q [04:31] (from the installer) [04:31] It did not when I plugged in my iPod, adam7. Do you have any further suggestion as to what to type into the custom box? Do I need any variables such as %d? [04:32] it wants to turn on avahi-daemon... any reason that would be off? [04:32] how do i update via cd without having to reformat my partition? [04:32] anyone knows which processes related to x are running when the login screen is displayed? [04:32] i want to retain /home [04:32] alt cd Serveck [04:32] matthew what graphics card do you have ? [04:32] damn.. no way to do it with this? [04:32] Serveck: you can stick the cd in the drive and use apt-cdrom to update, Ithink [04:32] or through terminal? [04:32] xfx nvidia 128mb 6600gt [04:32] nay Serveck if this refers to live cd--> terminal sure no prob [04:32] Serveck: on mine, the package manager opens when I put a ubuntu cd in the drive [04:33] Hi guys... [04:33] how do i open images through the terminal??? command /home/usr/image.png [04:33] i-hope-this-name, not sure that it matters... [04:33] midori: try display [04:33] ooh.. so put cd in AFTER booting up? [04:33] can anyone tell me what is the default kernel version for ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbon) ?? [04:33] Serveck: yeah, that might do it :) [04:33] ok [04:33] anybody know if the ubuntu 8 install GUI disk manager can recognize OR format OR read RAID harddrives [04:33] adam7, not for the livecd no [04:33] Serveck, only alt cd [04:33] i-hope-this-name, right now you just want it working. you can tweak things after :P [04:33] tanath: alright. i decided to turn it on anyway, might have even fixed my problem with hald not starting at login [04:33] tanath: very true [04:33] bazhang: if he wants to update the current system, the cd goes in after the system is booted to load the packages off of it, right? [04:34] argh.. i dont want to have to tre-dl [04:34] adam7, he want to change versions [04:34] matthew maybe need a nvidia driver. well xrandr is what i use and the dpkg reconfigure, do you have a xorg.conf from a different debian distro you could use ? [04:34] from 7.10 to 8.04 [04:34] Serveck, then upgrade via net [04:34] anyone know which x program is launched after you log in? [04:34] takes too long to download [04:34] secret901, let me try. thank you for a reply [04:34] matthew if it worked from 7.10 you could use the xorg.conf from it [04:34] *sigh* linux hates me. [04:34] bazhang: Serveck: how do i update via cd without having to reformat my partition? <--- boot into 7.10, use apt-cdrom to load the cd, and then apt-get update or something, right? [04:35] wirechief_: I just enabled restricted drivers from the top panel, im not sure what you mean, im still sorta new to linux [04:35] my 7.10 is gone [04:35] hey guys i have a manual installation of firefox, anyway to install the mplayer mozilla plugin without installing firefox from the repos becvause it "depends" on it? [04:35] adam7, nay [04:35] this is a clean install of 8.04 [04:35] anyone know if the partition managers can recognize RAID? [04:35] !exim [04:35] Factoid exim not found [04:35] anyone use exim and like it? [04:35] bazhang: how do you mean? [04:36] secret901, display did not work. [04:36] matthew well you can try the restricted see what happens [04:36] midori: do you have imagemagick installed? [04:36] has anybody successfully gotten lightscribe to run in 8.04 AMD64? [04:36] secret901, i have the default, the eye of gnome [04:36] adam7, to upgrade versions you need either the alt cd (he has live cd) or via the net--otherwise his /home will be erased [04:36] tanath: hmm, dpkg died 'cause of too many errors... i guess i have to reboot and login properly [04:36] thats what im running on now, the resticted drivers [04:36] what command did you try? [04:36] restricted* [04:36] i-hope-this-name, what was the first one? [04:37] matthew i would do this cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak to make a backup first [04:37] midori: which command did you use? [04:37] bazhang: but wouldn't using apt-cdrom from the existing installation pull the packages off the CD instead of the net? [04:37] tanath: first one? it keeps complaining about /dev/null [04:37] midori: installing imagemagick would help [04:37] adam7, there is newer stuff on the net by now [04:37] i-hope-this-name, and actually, since you can get to a terminal, you ought to upgrade that way [04:37] tanath: indeed. [04:37] i-hope-this-name, rather than using the disc [04:38] tanath: well, thanks for the help, sir! [04:38] bazhang: yeah, but it'll get the versions of packages that are on the cd and not download them, save a bit of time maybe [04:38] wirechief_: type that into the terminal? [04:38] tanath: off to try this [04:38] i-hope-this-name, ah. yeah, just do that... [04:38] secret901, i don't know the command to view images with eye of gnome. [04:38] secret901, imagemagik work with gnome [04:38] midori, eog i believe [04:39] tanath, eog is corrent. thank you sir.

[04:40] Serveck: yeah [04:40] whats better to use the restricted drivers for nvida, or envyng drivers? [04:40] anyone knows what is changed in the display manager in Ubuntu between the time it shows the login screen and the time it's logged in?

[04:46] Krimson: Perhaps adding yourself to the right group or something would work. [04:46] hey I can get no sound on my gateway [04:46] Krimson: Running an audio app as root is almost certainly a bad idea. [04:47] RyanPrior, i care more about running pidgin at the moment [04:47] anyway I can get that fixed??? [04:47] how do i increase the number of gnome session? [04:47] shimanoid, i believe so.. if you tell it to use the ssl port, does it not work? [04:47] RyanPrior: I do not know. Perhaps you can help? I want amarok to boot when I plug in my iPod, instead of rhythmbox (as of now, uninstalled) [04:47] Ashfire908: well, if you've got a pidgin that is reliably crashing, that's a valuable thing for developers to fix the bug for other people. [04:47] tanath: pidgin says "SSL handshake failed", that is with the "Enable SSL" checkbox on [04:47] Ashfire908: You might try setting up a separate installation for communications in the meanwhile. [04:48] hola [04:48] anyone have virtualbox installed on ubuntu 8.04? [04:48] shimanoid, http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQssl [04:48] <^Tech-Help^> hey LyleM [04:48] Devis: I do [04:48] hello [04:48] RyanPrior, except it takes 4 days to get noticed and marked invalid, then forgotten for weeks... then comfirmed, and never fixed. [04:48] fully working? [04:48] Devis: as far as I know [04:48] Hola LyleM. Habla ud. Inglés? [04:49] does anyone know whats a good service like blogspot.com that wouldnt get shut down for having links to torrent files? [04:49] i cant get an internet connection on guest windows xp [04:49] anyone else installed Ubuntu on Dell Dimension e521? [04:49] Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? [04:49] im trying to create a directory of audiobook torrents so ppl can educate themselves, but i dont want to get shut down as some of them are illegal [04:49] Vertelemming: Repeat your question, please? [04:49] Got some problemo with display drivers, they were not installed by default. [04:50] how do i increase the number of gnome session? [04:50] How do I use %s? Like Amarok %s? Or %s Amarok? Or no spaces? or /'s between them? [04:50] hi, i just want to know if it's ok to upgrade my system from ubuntu 7.1 to ubuntu 8.04 using the upgrade button found in update manager? [04:50] how do I report a bug with grub? [04:50] yp3: I suggest getting permission or license to distribute the audiobooks, then. Distributing educational material is a great idea, perhaps you could make it work on an advertising model? [04:50] RyanPrior: When new windows get created, by any means, they invariably appear just below the top-most window, instead of on the top. Focus doesn't change, and it's only been happening since the Hardy upgrade. [04:51] Vertelemming: That's strange. [04:51] Devis: I have a working network connection in a linux vm [04:51] Very. [04:51] what did you do to install it? Is there a tutorial you followed? [04:52] Devis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770745 [04:52] Devis: I can't ping anything though, so don't judge whether you can connect based on that [04:53] i tired that one but no connection [04:53] it made me go back to vista... :( [04:53] why am i getting redirected to bloglines whenever i click on an rss feed in firefox????? [04:54] Devis: tried vmware? [04:54] no i heard it was no good [04:54] Devis: What virtualizer were you trying to use again? [04:54] the Sun virtualbox 1.6 [04:54] Devis: dont know why you would here that... [04:55] Devis: I have a Windows XP guest on Hardy with the latest kernel and networking works just fine. [04:55] Devis: vmware rocks over vbox [04:55] Y-Town: see i've heard just the oppisite [04:55] Devis: I'm using version 1.5 though. [04:55] it's all personal preferance [04:55] can someone help me get pulseaudio working? [04:55] when i try to use it, i get no sound [04:56] the problem all happened when i updated to 1.6 [04:56] Devis: VMware is great, but it's not free software. [04:56] kindofabuzz: I have not had any problems... the install kinda sucked but that was resolved [04:56] anyone on who can assist me setting up oracle on ubuntu? [04:56] tanath check out #alsa they can help you (when there are someone there) [04:56] i had everything working on 1.5 [04:56] wirechief_, alsa works fine [04:56] but even now when i go back to 1.5 i get no connection [04:56] !anyone | Matt0810 [04:56] Matt0810: 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? [04:57] !sound [04:57] 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 [04:57] i just want to use the windows live messenger [04:57] Devis: Why not just use Pidgin or aMSN? [04:57] i need video chat [04:57] Devis: aMSN has video chat. [04:58] can you chat with hotmail people [04:58] wirechief_, um, hardy defaults to pulseaudio. i suspect that hasn't been updated :P [04:58] yeah [04:58] thats wehat I was thinking [04:58] what [04:58] wirechief_, alsa does work, but i'd like to switch to PA [04:58] Devis: I'm not positive about Hotmail people, but if they're on the MSN protocol (Windows Live Messenger, MSN, etc) then it should work. [04:59] preferred sources/software [04:59] yeah but can i connect my logictech webcam to it? [04:59] is there a config file where I can take out the screensavers i dont like so the random will only go throught he wonds i like [04:59] Devis: You'll have to try and see, I think. [04:59] Is SWF an open source format now? [05:00] i hate Toshiba and how it forces me to use vista. [05:00] hi there. does ubuntu have a network install feature? [05:00] Devis: I know that some people have had luck with webcams and video chat and that the program has that capability, whether it will work with your specific hardware is another question. [05:00] well... it /kinda/ worked, i can at aleast log in now, but the text is so small it's unreadable [05:00] thanks, all [05:00] Devis: I have ubuntu on a toshiba laptop [05:00] waht model?

[05:01] i have A135-S4666 satellite [05:01] Devis: its my test system for things [05:01] dellph: I don't understand your question. Increase the number of what? [05:01] how do I give privileges to an user be able to share a folder? can't find in policy kit [05:01] Devis: this is a satelite [05:02] i had alot of problems with driver on 7.10 but 8.4 has everything running fine except no headphones. :( [05:02] plik, i love abcde, but im stuck. i ran it. it worked fine. now its asking me to choose which cddb i want to use. i know which one, but how do i choose? [05:02] How can I configure my eth1 interface? [05:03] could my wireless router be the one messing up my virtualbox? [05:03] lgc: /etc/network/interfaces [05:03] lgc: or use the network admin control panel [05:04] i have no experience on how the ip system works on ubuntu [05:04] RyanPrior, in ubuntu desktop i login in 4 user in gnome then i want to login another user and error occured "User Switcher Error" There are currently too many session running to create a new one... etc." the configured limit of flexible servers has been reached. how do i resolve that? [05:04] Vlet, what am I supposed to do with the interfaces file? [05:04] is there application that translate online when point to a word i get its translation , also if there is application that translate sentences ?? [05:05] lgc: perhaps you should use the network admin control panel, or google on using the config file [05:05] mohamed: google has one: http://www.google.com/translate_t [05:06] can anyone tell me why i have gstreamer0.10-esd installed? i upgraded from gutsy, but i've never used esd in my life [05:06] i need help installing starcraft [05:06] mohamed_: https://addons.mozilla.org/ [05:06] RequinB5: #winehq [05:06] should i have reset my router settings when switching to ubuntu? [05:06] Is there a special way to use adesklets? I select a desklet to download, and it seems like it freezes when it tries to download [05:06] dellph: Hmm, interesting. I don't know, but I would look in gconf (or keep asking in here. :-) [05:06] Devis: no [05:06] thx Devis: Vlet [05:07] i had vista on a static ip [05:07] can i still get xmms or is it only xmms2? streamtuner wont let me listen to radio [05:07] bpat1434: if you have compiz i sincerely recommend using screenlets [05:07] Devis, I'm on a static IP and it works fine with Ubuntu. [05:07] im experiencing slow loading on firefox [05:07] and how do i enable compiz , any help is appreciated :-) [05:07] Ademan: I have "extra" screen effects... is that compiz? [05:07] RyanPrior, ok thanks! : [05:07] Matthew: You can, but I don't suggest it. xmms is pretty outdated. [05:07] bpat1434: yep [05:08] mohamed_: unfortunately, ubuntu hardy ships with firefox 3 beta, and all those addons are for ff v2 [05:08] Ademan: where can I configure screenlets and get more? [05:08] what else can i get to work with streamtuner to listen to radio? [05:08] how can I make a custom shortcut for an application like the Calculator? [05:08] matthew: Amarok, Banshee, Rhythmbox, Audacious, Quod Libet, and others are much more modern and can all play internet radio. [05:08] I want to move my personal files (in my home dir) from one user account to another (same computer). What must I do? [05:08] Vlet, the network tools app won't let me configure eth1. [05:08] Vlet: i already install them on FF beta [05:08] if I run something like "$OPATH/bin/lsnrctl start" - If i go to Opath/bin manually and type ./lsnrctrl start - is it the same thing? [05:08] bpat1434: well first of all be sure to have the compizconfig-settings-manager package installed [05:09] Vlet: there is a trik for this only i was asking if there is something as ubuntu application [05:09] redwhitewaldo: sudo cp -Ruv /home/yourusername/* /home/theotherusername/ [05:09] what's Ruv, viet [05:09] mohamed_: maybe, check synaptic [05:09] Ademan: installed [05:10] redwhitewaldo: Recurse directories, Update (incase you cancel mid-way through), Verbose (shows status of the copy) [05:10] Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 in the QEMU emulator. After FINALLY getting an .iso download that doesn't have a defect (3 times!), I tried installing. After the splash screen, it goes into text mode and after a couple of minutes I see some error along the lines of "GTKWarning, Could not open display. I then get dumped into a bash prompt "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$". Can I install from that prompt? If not, how might I fix that GTK error? [05:10] Vlet, actually, when I try to configure the interface it says it doesn't exist. [05:10] bpat1434: alright under system->preferences you should have "advanced desktop effects settings" [05:10] is there anyway to check that my router settings are correct? [05:10] Torahtee1: sounds like a question for the qemu people [05:11] I'm trying to remote desktop into a newly installed box and I've done the basics but I get connection refused. What else do I need to do aside from allow remote desktop connections? I can ping the box fine. [05:11] Ademan: uh huh [05:11] vlet, is it really a QEMU problem specifically? [05:11] !tomcat [05:11] Factoid tomcat not found [05:11] lgc: well, do you have two network cards? [05:11] wow [05:12] Vlet only one, but it takes care of wireless and wired connections. [05:12] hi [05:12] !hi [05:12] Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:12] Torahtee1: well, considering I've never heard of such a problem when installing ubuntu on an actual computer or in other virtualization programs, yes [05:12] bpat1434: first of all you can configure how your desktop effects work there, but more importantly, under "desktop" there's the widget layer, you should enable it [05:12] vlet ok then [05:12] Ademan: enabled... [05:13] lgc: well, eth0 is probably the wired, the wireless is probably something else [05:13] bpat1434: alright, gimme a sec [05:13] Ademan: okay [05:13] Networking issues? [05:13] Vlet, of course. Eth1 is the wireless interface. That's standard, as far as I know. [05:13] lgc: never actually used ubuntu on a system with wireless [05:13] Do I need to install openssh to get remote desktop working? [05:14] You could use VNC. [05:14] is there a config file or way to take out the screensavers i dont like so the 'random' option will only go through good ones? [05:14] Vlet, OK, thanks. Let me check the help. [05:14] !wireless [05:14] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:14] I installed gnome-art with no error, but when run: [05:14] http://rafb.net/p/SmQt3224.html [05:14] lgc: eth0. some linux systems may start at 1, but ubuntu starts at 0 [05:14] !qemu [05:14] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [05:14] Doesn't Ubuntu come with vnc installed? [05:14] so, uh, how do i get synaptic to make me a list of everything currently installed? [05:15] Smegzor: no [05:15] Smegzor: sorry, I was thinking vLc :) [05:15] just sudo apt-get install vnc-server [05:15] olrrai, you trying to install a theme or what [05:15] Vlet: here is how to use addons for firfox2 inside firefox3 to disable check compatibility http://dotnetwizard.net/?p=757 [05:15] Vlet, k. [05:15] If I want 4 virtual desktops, how can I get that so I can use the compiz cube? [05:15] and what's the CLI command for the restricted drivers manager? [05:15] hmm.. so the remote desktop stuff in preferences does nothing without extra setup? [05:15] mohamed_: thanks =D [05:15] Anyone ever heard of ubuntu "install" going to a bash prompt? Can I install from bash? (some kind of install ubuntu command? lol) [05:15] i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to download and run windows apps through wine. [05:15] !cube | bpat1434 [05:15] bpat1434: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » [05:15] bpat1434: install compiz and compiz fusion settings manager [05:16] bazhang: I need to configure themes (I use ubuntu 7.10 amd64) [05:16] the remote desktop is VNC. [05:16] LaneLimited: I have them... just missing where I can define how many desktops tehre are [05:16] alec_: there's plenty of info on the web. IRC isn't a good place for tutorials; better for questions. [05:16] Anyone know a fix for the low volume problems with Intel HD audio in Hardy? It seems like sometimes it will be loud, and other times I have to turn it dang near all the way up to get sufficient volume. (Yes, my volume is up on the Alsa Mixer) [05:16] ok thanks [05:16] bpat1434: right click on panel and add the last one i think it is... thats the only way i know to configure them.. then right click on it on the panel and configure how many you want.. colums and rows [05:16] olrrai, download them to a folder and install them that way [05:17] Hi all. I got a problem, fsck runs every time I boot and startup drops to command line where it starts a root shell cause fsck broke or something. Howe can I stop it from happening every time? [05:17] spork969: sorry, was away for a while - doesn't really matter, but gracenote are corporate scum, so go for freedb or whatever it is :) [05:17] * emma returns to helping good people [05:17] how can i enable compiz so i can get my cube and wobble windows ect? [05:17] how do i increase the number of gnome session? [05:17] install the package 'advanced desktop effects" [05:17] install ccsm Matthew [05:17] bazhang: I did that, but I also need to change any menu and control colors [05:17] LaneLimited: Yeah, I've got the 4-way split, but compiz only flips on two desktops... not 4 [05:17] adam7: what was that command to get synaptic to list everything installed? [05:18] olrrai, does the theme allow that? [05:18] also, how do i start the restricted drivers manager from CLI? [05:18] bazhang: nope [05:18] i-hope-this: restricted-manager, i think [05:18] bpat1434, quick tut for that in #compiz-fusion [05:18] avian: lemmie try [05:18] bazhang: thansk [05:18] bazhang: wicd worked out perfectly even on my home network. thanks [05:18] hmm.. well the remote desktop is non-functional even after following ubuntu guides :( [05:19] bpat1434: sorry man.... i don't know other then that.. set the desktop cube and cube rotation... I am very noob myself.. I just got ubuntu a few days ago , sorry [05:19] Sergeant_Pony, nice going ;] [05:19] i-hope-this-nam1: you need to run it as root. [05:19] i-hope-this-nam1: open the 'main menu' control panel, and find the launcher and right click and go to properties to see the command [05:19] * Sergeant_Pony another very happy customer :) [05:19] its the one feature I can never get working without a fight [05:19] olrrai, you want a total revamp type theme? [05:19] LaneLimited: it's oka.y [05:19] Smegzor: are you behind a router? [05:20] bpat1434: does the cube spin around??? [05:20] the box is on my lan. there is a router but both pc's are on the same lan [05:20] there was a different code i used before to enable ccsm i typed it in terminal....i forget [05:20] Vlet: i'm using XFCE [05:20] hey I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a RAIDed drive, seperate from my Windows partition (I have an open unformatted partition waiting for it). Is there something special I have to do? [05:20] LaneLimited: It spins.... but it's only a flip because it's a 2-sided cube, not a 4 [05:21] Vlet: and it wont start from CLI, either, something about pynotify not existing [05:21] alt f2 compiz --replace matthew [05:21] damn, this install is brooooken [05:21] bazhang: no total, only a few things [05:21] Try reinstalling python. [05:21] bpat1434: gimme just another moment [05:21] Ademan: okay [05:21] bpat1434: I see... i know about that... You gotta set it to ... set that desktop workspaces to just 4 then 1 4 at top 1 at bottom..... that worked for me [05:21] olrrai, if you want total there are some fun options [05:21] Smegzor, what do you use to connect to your desktop? [05:22] Smegzor, what program that is? [05:22] bazhang: for example? [05:22] ping [05:22] pong [05:22] hey Krimson [05:22] Krimson: ping [05:22] awn screenlets fusion-icon awn-curves gdesklets conky and on and on--only your imagination is the limit ;] [05:23] I'm using krdc since I get nowhere with terminal server client. I'm now able to at least talk to the box using rdp. vnc is still no server found. [05:23] bazhang: thanks [05:24] Smegzor, do you use server name when connecting did u try connecting by ip === arooni________aa is now known as arooni [05:24] by ip always [05:24] bpat1434: all you need to do is install the screenlets package, and then run it from system->preferences->screenlets [05:24] bpat1434: it even has a little button for getting more screenlets, and there are some available on gnome-look.org as well [05:24] Smegzor, right and what does vncviewer actually say? [05:25] connection refused [05:25] hello === doop1 is now known as doopy [05:25] !hi | doopy [05:25] doopy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [05:26] s [05:26] Smegzor, hm very strange, no firestarter or any firewall running? [05:26] Ademan: okay, thanks [05:26] nope [05:26] So, yes: anything special that needs done to install on a RAID 0 array? [05:26] ubuntu at both ends with none of that crap [05:26] Ubuntu's installer sees my hard disks as seperate entities. [05:27] Ademan, does compiz have to be running for screenlets to work or only installed; or could I just turn compiz on basic and use them with that [05:27] Smegzor, hm verify that u have vnc server installed sudo apt-get install vino [05:27] WiglyWorm: nope - ubuntu should just see one drive [05:27] WiglyWorm: oh, so it's not hardware raid [05:27] WiglyWorm, those are partitions [05:27] !raid | WiglyWorm [05:27] WiglyWorm: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [05:28] WiglyWorm: you want fakeraid [05:28] No, it's seeing the drives, not the partitions. [05:28] WiglyWorm, or do you have raid [05:28] bazhang: you can have desktop effects on basic, but not off, basic and advanced are both still compiz, when it's off, metacity is used instead of compiz [05:28] anyone here use scratchbox? I'm trying to see what ubuntu package I need to install to get qemu with it [05:28] Ah! I think I've found my bug in Launchpad. [05:28] Ademan, thanks ;] [05:28] I have an odd problem where my keyboard stops working suddenly in an KDE X session, but I can still Ctrl-Alt-F1 into the terminal and use the keyboard there. I am also able to start a new X session and use my keyboard there. Any suggestions? [05:28] WiglyWorm: if it were hardware raid, ubuntu would see just one [05:29] Does Hardy have pulse audio? [05:29] papi_xxx [05:29] I found the problem and I'm connected remotely now. there was an undocumented tick box.. brb [05:29] twistage, aye [05:29] I was under the impression my 780i motherboard was hardware RAID... [05:29] bazhang: no problem :-) [05:29] ;] [05:29] Would the youth of the chipset play in to it at all? [05:30] hello? [05:30] bazhang: How do I play with the settings? [05:30] in sound prefs twistage [05:30] WiglyWorm: if it were true raid, then ubuntu wouldn't be able to tell whether it was raid or not - the OS should just see a drive, and the raid controller does all the magic behind the scenes [05:30] Why aren't my / commands working?

[05:32] group:i have ubuntu 8.04 i had a network monitor that had the icon that showed my internet as it connected wirelessly.I stumiply removed the bar up top and then had to start over.it is not there.how can i find it [05:32] vocx: what happens when you press enter? [05:33] forgive me im a newb [05:33] I'm logged in locally on the pc and I'm logging in remotely on my main pc [05:33] vocx: what you recommend then? i'm trying justmake some code in ubuntu =( [05:33] Oh wow I had no idea that was there. [05:33] matthew: you mean ccsm? [05:33] I'm not creating multiple users just for that [05:33] Starnestommy: why am I in a different window? [05:33] jtaylor13, you mean nm-applet? [05:33] jtaylor13, the notification area? right click panel and add, or perhpas you mean nm-applet [05:33] yes ccsm ...sorry [05:33] besides, there is NO heating where the pc is and its COLD in there :) [05:33] eisenhower, use a text editor, and compile from the command line, it will teach you how things work. Read the stickies in the programming Talk forum in ubuntuforums.org [05:33] Smegzor: Running a GUI environment more than once with the same user could cause problems [05:34] aite * tries [05:34] * Derander does it all the time. [05:34] Smegzor: Thus the option being checked by default [05:34] (running a gui environment that is) [05:34] How do I enable it so the effects work? [05:34] Starnestommy: why is there two windows? I have never seen two windows before. [05:34] The login will be drawn at 1280 x 1024, while the video/monitor is 1024 x 768, and the rest of the screen is clipped. [05:34] Starnestommy, nothing, it just shows the black screen, all of them 1-6, I use Alt+F7 and return to the graphical session. [05:34] matthew: It's too busy in here to just talk, you need to put my name in the line so I can pick it out [05:34] matthew: do you have a graphics card/ graphics card driver on? [05:34] Well I'd prefer to get XDMC working, but I'm not sure what to do. I think that requires openssh installed? [05:34] bazhang: Sorry to be so inept, but does it allow per application volume-control.. etc? Because I'm under sound preferences and it looks the exact same as it did in Gutsy. I don't see any added features? Maybe I'm in the wrong place? System>Pref>Sound? [05:35] glavanwa1: there's one main window plus one window for each channel or query you have open [05:35] I'm checking things off in the manager but nothing is coming to life..Yes i have a graphics card [05:35] vocx: that is a problem with VGA. I can't remember the exact fix, however. I had the exact same problem [05:35] Smegzor: Remote GUI logins as the same user are bad too :P [05:35] matthew: run "compiz --replace" [05:35] twistage, let me look hang on a sec [05:35] sudo apt-cache search scratchbox | more, and the package is called scratchbox-devkit-cputransp. answered my own question but incase you all were curious [05:35] um.. also I'm remoting via VNC so I'm only logged in once actually. [05:35] Derander: in terminal? [05:36] matthew: that or alt+f2 [05:36] bazhang: it was the factory installed 2 little balls that had a circle line spin and the balls lite up green when coonected. [05:36] Derander, yeah, probably something broke from one update to the other, but since I rarely switch to these terminals I hadn't noticed. And I just upgraded to Gutsy, I mean. [05:36] jtaylor13, yup that is nm-applet [05:36] Derander: Checking for Xgl: not present. [05:36] No whitelisted driver found [05:36] aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [05:36] vocx: Mine broke spontaneously while using Gutsy :-) [05:36] bazhang: how do i find and replace it [05:37] is there any way to trigger a warn if I'm trying to shutdown my computer and there are some apps running on one of the workspace? [05:37] vocx: It has something to do with blacklisting thingamajigies, and one thing you have do to is add something like "vga 773" in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. I'd google "gutsy virtual terminal problems vga" [05:38] Derander: That didn't work... [05:38] jtaylor13, roght click and add to panel and scroll down the list to see could be called network monitor in hardy now afaik [05:38] which package has the "critical temperature reached (105C) when i boot 8.04? im suspecting a wrong reading in one of the thermostats in a laptop [05:38] matthew: (top panel) system -> preferences -> appearance -> visual effects -> turn something on [05:39] Derander, ah yes, I had set up actually the vga modes before and they worked fine. I haven't changed them since, ever... Edgy I think. I use vga=792 which is okay for a 17 inch LCD. [05:39] keep getting this errors in kern.log floppy0 disk absent or changed during operation, Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [05:39] high [05:39] Derander: ty, restart required it says, brb.. [05:39] vocx: Mmm. Yeah, it's odd that they're breaking on people - not sure what does it, but it happened after a few packages I installed [05:39] keep getting this errors in kern.log "floppy0 disk absent or changed during operation, Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" [05:40] this looks better :) [05:40] how do I turn off desktop switching when I scroll with the mouse wheel? [05:40] how do I give privileges to an user be able to share a folder? can't find in policy kit [05:40] bazhang: Any luck? [05:41] twistage, did that not do it? [05:41] twistage, right click and add to panel [05:41] bazhang: i put the network monitor on but it isn't the same as the factory one.after i get connected it would show the blue bar graph for the connection. [05:41] Derander, guess I just remove 'buntu then... ha ha, you see what I did there? Surely the reconfiguration of xserver would solve it. Do you remember anything else? [05:41] I have another drive in my computer (NTFS) and i wanted to know is it really better as windows says? What are advantages / disadvantages? I put all the files on that drive when I used windows, but now I am 100% linux and think i should reformat. Is it worth the time? [05:42] How do I create an ssh user without requiring key-based authentication? [05:42] jtaylor13, let me give you a command to reset to factory defualt [05:42] ok thanks [05:42] !resetpanels | jtaylor13 [05:42] jtaylor13: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [05:43] berkelep: ssh authentication is driven by /etc/ssh/sshd_config, turn on password authentication and create a user. then when the user connects via ssh without a key, a password is requested. [05:43] bazhang: I'm confused, did you say something before hand? What am I adding to panel? I have a volume control already. I thought Pulse-audio allowed for per application volume control, etc? Or did I misunderstand? [05:44] wolfjb: thanks. [05:44] berkelep: np [05:44] how do I turn off desktop switching when I scroll with the mouse wheel? [05:44] bazhang: DAM your good.I love linux.I am very good on vista.but it is a pain.hey here is my idea for a new start up sound for windows vista.start up and it should play a audio file of a guy screaming TECH SUPPORT.hahahah [05:44] twistage, oops wrong nick sorry [05:44] Oh, thats alright [05:45] wolfjb: i receive the message 'Permission denied (publickey).' [05:45] wolfjb, don't place the pointer in the desktop switcher? [05:45] how can I scp files that have paranthesis in name? [05:45] twistage, for a lot of stuff the prefs work; but for individual apps it might be a bug that overrides the setting [05:46] vocx: alright! that helped. its alot easier to complile through g++ ! now one question for you. how would i run the program? b/c i'm in the direcotry and i type in for example /desktop/program and i keep getting program can't be found [05:46] h4mx0r: put a \ before each ( or ) [05:46] vocx: if the mouse pointer is over the desktop and I scroll with the mouse it switches desktop, very annoying - I'd love to turn it off [05:46] vocx: if you put your pointer over the root window and scroll, it'll switch desktops [05:46] Starnestommy: that is what I thought but its not working [05:46] is there any way to bypass temperature readings when ubuntu boots, i get this error "Critical temperature reached (105C) Shutting Down" [05:46] jtaylor13, that worked? nice going ;] [05:46] h4mx0r: or put a " at the beginning and the end of the file names [05:46] bazhang: Pulse audio is new to Hardy though, correct? Shouldn't there be some new settings under my Sound Preferences? Because it looks the same as it did in Gutsy. [05:47] eisenhower, this ./program the dot means current directory. This is covered in the FAQ isn't it? [05:47] lyzium: First of all, are you certain this temperature reading is false? [05:47] Group:how can i get chat software or any other program to start at system start up and sign in. [05:47] wolfjb: ccsm -> viewport switcher -> actions -> desktop-based viewport switching -> move next & move prev [05:47] what faQ s ? [05:47] link if possible? and no it wasn't [05:47] twistage, I set the top to alsa and left the rest alone--you can try to set them on various levels --some bugs to work out as this is still pretty new [05:47] bazhang:Ol yes.and easy. [05:47] Derander: ccsm? [05:47] twistage, you should see the launchpad page ;] [05:48] wolfjb: run ccsm in a terminal or alt+f2, it stands for "compizconfig-settings-manager" [05:48] Haha, alright. I'll take a look [05:48] twistage, err pages I mean ;] [05:48] Derander: ah, thanks [05:48] wolfjb: if you don't have it installed, apt-get it [05:48] eisenhower, you can use full qualified names but /desktop/program is NOT, because you are saying that the program is in the root / which is not. It is in /home/user/desktop/program [05:48] k [05:48] Starnestommy: the file ends with (complete) and error is "bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('" [05:48] eisenhower, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606009 [05:48] MikeCulver, no but im fairly certain. i can say for sure that i would be burnt if i touched the cooling head at 105 degrees celcius but it isnt burningly hot [05:48] berkelep: what is the value of PasswordAuthentication in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [05:48] lyzium, when computer boots keep pressing esc, on the first line in the menu that appeared press 'e', on the third line press 'e' again and add acpi=off to the end press enter and press 'b' [05:49] lyzium: is this a desktop or laptop system? [05:49] wolfjb: PasswordAuthentication yes [05:49] nvm I fixed it needed a \ and some "" [05:49] is it uncommented? [05:49] usser, thank you i'll give that one a whirl. [05:49] Yay! Flash works [05:49] MikeCulver, it is a laptop [05:50] lyzium, just make sure its not that hot [05:50] Anyone experimented with DRI2 on Intel chips? [05:50] berkelep: did you restart ssh (sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart) after changing it? [05:50] lyzium: Ahh.. then I doubt it has health status in the bios.. [05:50] wolfjb, about your issue, I don't know. Maybe because you have desktop effects or something? [05:50] lyzium, if its a laptop the fix i gave u may not be such a good idea [05:50] wolfjb: hmm.. forgot that part. [05:50] wolfjb: thanks [05:50] lyzium: Still, in any case, I would advise caution. Take some sort of thermal reading before simply overriding ACPI [05:50] MikeCulver, that is correct, yet it is an intel cpu which should be able to clock itself down when it reaches these temps [05:50] vocx: I do have desktop effects turned on, I like the wobly windows. [05:51] berkelep: np, good luck [05:51] Does anyone know how to import an itunes library xml file to banshee? [05:51] MikeCulver, usser, i understand [05:51] banshee 1 that is [05:51] lyzium: this is true. But it's not just the CPU you need to be concerned about. mainboard substrate quality varies, but I would not tend to say it's better than CPU material quality. You could delaminate your board over time running an overheating CPU. [05:51] vbman11: you can't just import files? [05:52] lyzium: good luck then :) [05:52] vbman11: don't know if what you're asking is possible [05:52] wolfjb, well you should probably mention that. Well I don't know. I don't use it. It's probably possible. [05:52] vbman11: easily, anyways [05:52] vbman11: I'm sure you could hack something with awk&sed&bash scripting [05:52] MikeCulver, usser, thanks for your assistance :) [05:52] Derander: there is a plugin for banshee .13.0 but I cant get it any more. [05:52] wolfjb, I just scrolled and realized they suggested you the compiz manager or something. [05:52] wolfjb: works! great! [05:53] vbman11: Don't know, never used banshee [05:53] hi, with dual screens, how do you move windows from one screen to the next? [05:53] berkelep: Yay! [05:53] oddalot: nvidia? [05:53] I'm having stuttering or freezing of video playback on especially high resolution videos. [05:53] Derander: thanks anyways [05:53] derander yes [05:53] vocx: yeah, I tried turning it off, but it didn't help [05:53] anyone else? [05:53] vbman11: sorry that I can't be of more help [05:53] oddalot: Are you using the nvidia non-free driver? [05:54] vocx: prolly means I need to logoff/logon or something, I guess [05:54] i'm using the restricted drivers [05:54] how do i register add a new font? [05:54] i have compiz on etc.. [05:54] oddalot: not sure if it'll work then, but try (in terminal) sudo nvidia-config [05:54] vocx: used to find the setting in the window manager settings, I think [05:54] register/add [05:54] derander that's how installed the dual monitor support [05:54] wolfjb, sure, logoff and then tell us if it worked. [05:54] but i can't move windows to the other screen [05:54] brb [05:54] oddalot: are you using twinview or dual X sessions? [05:54] i don't know [05:55] oddalot: okay, type into terminal sudo nvidia-settings and we'll find out [05:55] brb [05:55] How to change the default dispaly manager? [05:55] I can't get H264 video to play back smoothly or reliably. [05:55] how do i add a new font? [05:55] oddalot: when you do that click "x server display configuration" and tell me if it says "configuration: twinview" or not in the right panel [05:56] i am having trouble using openvpn with 8.04 [05:56] has anyone here transitioned from itunes to banshee 0.99.1 [05:56] hi, when I start my gnome session, nm-applet (for network-manager) does not automatically start / show up in the menu bar .. I always have to manually execute nm-applet & to start it so I can connect to a wireless network. Does anyone have a workaround? [05:56] i seem to be able to connect to the vpn, but i can not get packets to go over it [05:56] cirkit_: system->preferences->session and add the command you use to startup? [05:57] ok i think it's x twin [05:57] Derander: yourtoo fast for me. [05:57] or whatever [05:57] cirkit_, you can add the applet with right click add new applet right? [05:57] well, tried turning off the viewport switcher in ccsm, but now I only have a single workspace [05:58] vocx: I can, and only bluetooth manager will appear [05:58] vbman11: ? [05:58] Derander: I'll give that a shot, thanks. [05:58] this openvpn thing is very annoying [05:58] oddalot: try twinviews [05:58] oddalot: it'll pretend your two monitors are one desktop instead of two [05:58] wolfjb, you can always add new workspaces, right click on the switcher. [05:58] Derander: I was just typing up exactly what you just said [05:58] derander where is the twinview setting? [05:58] vbman11: :-P [05:59] Anyone here familiar with BIND9? [05:59] oh i found it [05:59] oddalot: good :-) [05:59] has anyone here transitioned from itunes to banshee 0.99.1? [05:59] <_Net> Man I dont know why this happens. When I run ubuntu..after a day of uptime..my sound stops working. [05:59] vocx: tried that, didnt' work- the preferences only show how many columns/rows to display, didn't offer to create additional workspaces for me [05:59] <_Net> none of the music players play anything, no sound from any internet websites. [05:59] _Net: I have the same issue on my laptop.. new issue for me as of 8.04 [06:00] <_Net> Ya. [06:00] <_Net> For me too. [06:00] vbman11, don't just copy paste everything, it may result harmful to your system if you do not know what each instruction does. [06:00] <_Net> I didnt have this with 7.10 [06:00] _Net: I found that falling back to ALSA seems to work for a while... [06:00] _net: haven't had that problem, but then I haven't been using sound much. [06:00] vocx: ?? [06:00] _Net: then that goes too. [06:00] mikeculver: what are you using instead of ALSA? [06:00] Pulseaudio [06:00] <_Net> MikeCulver: you mean fixing it with alsamixer? [06:00] The login will be drawn at 1280 x 1024, while the video/monitor is 1024 x 768, and the rest of the screen is clipped. [06:00] erm [06:00] what about this horrible issue with openvpn [06:01] <_Net> I just played with that and tried to fix it but no result. [06:01] No.. in sound settings in gnome... switching outputs from pulse to alsa [06:01] <_Net> Oh ok. [06:01] OSS doesn't work on my sound hardware [06:01] vocx: I want banshee to open my itunes library file [06:01] what sound hardware would that be? [06:01] andi co metropolis [06:01] intel... lemme lshw it [06:01] Well, I have installed Ubuntu on my Dell Dimension E521, but the DVD and the driver site offers no drivers for Linux. Help me? [06:01] denver, you need to ask real questions, saying "this thing is awful" is of no help to anybody potentially willing to help you. [06:01] group: Question.I tried a couple of linux live cd.One had the ability that wheni put the mouse in the upper right corner any and all open windows organize side by side.I know it is in the compiz but which one.Any help? [06:01] I've having an issue with the gdm login screen. The screen will be drawn at 1280 x 1024, while the video/monitor is 1024 x 768, and the rest of the screen is clipped, clipping the bottom and right of the screen. [06:02] how is the server BRASIL? [06:02] vocx, i was joking sorry [06:02] sonic_: /join #ubuntu-br [06:02] ^^ [06:02] semarang [06:02] vocx, i am having an issue getting packets to go over the tap0 interface once i am connected to the vpn [06:02] sonic_, type /join #ubuntu-br thanks [06:02] <_Net> MikeCulver: DO you also have the problem where after a day or so uptime when you open anything from the Applications or systems menu it just opens the dialog but nothing on it [06:03] <_Net> just a blank dialog form [06:03] i'm going to create a new user account. How can i migrate my firefox settings (saved passwords, bookmarks, extensions)??? [06:03] Does anyone have a resource on how to get kiba-dock to run on Hardy? Been trying to compile it all day, no luck]\ [06:03] denver: it's a Thinkpad T41p with Intel ICH4M [06:03] Erm, nevermind... it's working... now... [06:03] anyone have any suggestions for paid web proxies that randomize the IP address every so often? i need programatic access from debian linux [06:03] _Net: no. [06:04] whats the name of the toilet that shoots water up yor but [06:04] _Net: Do you by chance not have a swap partition set up? [06:04] <_Net> I do. [06:04] rgravener, wrong channel for that [06:04] <_Net> 1gb swap. [06:04] _Net: there goes that idea.. [06:04] rgravener, do you want to be banned or just missed the correct channel? [06:04] <_Net> Maybe its due to compiz fusion? [06:04] bazhang: i'm just looking for a hint [06:04] I just attempted to compile a dirt simple c program using GCC and it failed because it couldn't find stdio.h. How do I install the standard libs in ubuntu? [06:05] eeboy, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606009 [06:05] fyi, it's a bidett [06:05] rgravener, a bidet now please be on topic. [06:05] <_Net> Lol. [06:05] thanks [06:05] http://ustream.tv/channel/sleep-time [06:05] <_Net> Toilet that shows water up your bot. Haha. [06:05] <_Net> Of all Places, in a ubuntu chat room. [06:06] <_Net> Classic. [06:06] how do i set my default shell to bash [06:06] Is there a quick way by command to verify which video driver is loaded in X, im having alot of trouble with the xserver-intel-video driver and dont think its loading [06:06] i knew the answer would be in here, because you guys are fucking smart === kuadrosx__ is now known as kuadrosx [06:06] rgravener, should be that way [06:06] _Net: I found that the adobe flash plugin likes to kill my audio on the system... no idea how. [06:06] rgravener: chsh [06:06] vocx: oddly, if I switched off my desktop effects, my workspaces appeared. re-enabling the desktop effects (so far) have not removed the extra workspaces. very odd [06:06] i want bash [06:06] rgravener, to set you shell.. just look in the water closet [06:06] vocx: Thanks! [06:06] <_Net> MikeCulver: Hmm, another possibilty. [06:06] rgravener: that command lets you change your default shell [06:06] oh thanks [06:07] <_Net> MikeCulver: I guess since hardy is new its fair to have glitches. As long as the important ones get fixed soon. [06:07] in case any of the ops in here are concerned rgravener posted a link to his live stream which contains a lot of filthy content. [06:07] emma what stream? [06:07] wolfjb, if you can reproduce that, you might want to call it a bug and report it to package in launchpad [06:07] <_Net> Just a random question to all linux users here. [06:07] _Net: there are two things that go on between when I leave the system and when I come back to no audio. 1. I turn on NPR for a little bedtime listening. 2. I leave a flash applet up and running. [06:07] <_Net> How would you compare Gentoo to Ubuntu? [06:07] <_Net> Im thinking of switching. [06:08] Gentoo has portage, ubuntu has apt-get. Ubuntu comes with drivers. [06:08] _Net: I hear Arch is nice. That is my comparison. [06:08] _Net, that's offtopic, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [06:08] That is pretty much all I can see and I use both in production] [06:08] <_Net> vocx: Thanks I'll do that. [06:09] <_Net> MikeCulver: I dont leave anything on except my irc client which is irssi. And come back in the morning and no sound [06:09] vocx: ok, after logoff and logon, everything works like I want it to. thanks [06:09] _Net: Different applications but similar symptoms. Your blank menus are something I don't seem to get. === kavit__ is now known as kavit [06:09] Now I see that I need build-essentials. I attempt to install via apt-get and it asks me to insert the disc labeled Ubuntu 8.04. Seem odd... what does it need from the disc that is not available via the internet? [06:09] _Net: Have you looked through your kernel logs? [06:09] wolfjb, he I just posted something when you left. I said that if you think you can reproduce that you could fill or search for a bug report or something in launchpad. [06:10] eeboy: have you enabled the internet repositories? [06:10] <_Net> MikeCulver: Unfortunetly can't remember how to. Its been awhile. [06:10] hi [06:10] System > Admin >System Logs [06:10] eeboy, open software sources to uncheck the CDrom as source. [06:10] vocx: I'll see what I can do [06:10] . [06:10] <_Net> Ok thanks [06:10] how do i find out which video driver is loaded on an ubuntu system? [06:11] <_Net> MikeCulver: Haha I cant even do that, it opens the dialog being blank. [06:11] <_Net> I know It'll work if I did a restart but I like to know why it happens [06:11] lyzium: glxinfo? [06:11] vocx: That did the trick... thanks x 2 [06:12] eeboy, it's actually a good thing to have it on the CD but many people trip on that one. Ubuntu has stable packages, so what you have on the CD is the same you get from the net, unless there are security updates. [06:12] lyzium: you can get hints from /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it should have a Driver option for the video card, then you can lsmod and search for something that looks like that name in xorg.conf [06:12] lyzium: glxinfo will give you that information. [06:12] i see, thanks! ;) [06:12] lyzium: you can also use dpkg -l and search xserver to see what might be installed (synaptic might be easier for that task) === paradon_ is now known as paradon [06:13] is there a gui too that'll help me find and mount my partitions?

[06:14] hotmunketluv then you just type sudo mount /dev/gparted's name /path/to/your/target [06:14] Derander: thanks [06:14] I told it to use ffmpeg2 [06:14] vocx, and how do I change it? [06:14] hotmonkeyluv: there is also a panel applet you can add called DiskMounter which might be interesting [06:15] wolfjb, most of my trouble is that i can have lots of video driver packages on the system that arent running, but in xorg.conf it only says "device" Driver "default device" [06:15] wolfjb: thanks! [06:15] I too am having the same problem [06:15] StevenTyler, if you open /etc/X11/xorg.conf it gives you a command at the top to change the video drivers, but if you have Ati or Nvidia there is a proper method for that. [06:16] I see. Thanks. Mine's Nvidia but the res is set to 800x600. So could be some problem there. Now I gotta reboot and try.

It stays _on the same_ window if I press it only once, this is straining for my wrist [06:17] lyzium, better give the output of "lshw" and "lsmod" [06:17] is there a way to change this behaviour? [06:17] Is it possible to install Ubuntu Hardy from a USB flash drive? I'm not interested in running off of the flash drive; I'm trying to put Ubuntu on a machine with a broken CD drive.

If I could get it to look for the boot volume for an ISO file, I'd be set.

I read somewhere else on the forums that someone got the wireless to work on my laptop, despite it not being the correct type of driver/ [06:57] sarmisak, Starnestommy were the changes applied only to me or also to the other users i have set up? [06:57] any idea why i am shooting past 1gig ram with just firefox/xchat/pidgin and palying music? i dont quite understand the whole gtk/kde/gnome version of apps yet and i have a feeling like i am running 3 versions of different libraries for each program, it just doesnt make sence, 1gig of ram for just web/misic/chat is way too much [06:57] <[T]an2> is there a way for me to do active x websites in linux? [06:57] I may be wrong though, but I was hoping I could get some help with Wine and a trackpad issue I'm having [06:58] babolat: I think it's for the whole system [06:58] Starnestommy, ok.. thank you. you have just alleviated my three-day misery [06:58] <[T]an2> will wine and IE do ActiveX? [06:58] sound doesn't work in smplayer how can I fix it? [06:58] hi, im having problems i think my sources.lst is broken [06:58] [T]an2: yes [06:58] my message is [06:58] Intrepid, it happens. It also happens that one thing is the brand selling the card and the other thing is the chipset, which is actually what is doing the job. [06:58] rat409: ehem.. for example, if there is a user named "homer" how do i apply that command? [06:58] Third party sources disabled [06:58] Some third party entries in your sources.list were disabled. You can re-enable them after the upgrade with the 'software-properties' tool or your package manage [06:58] [T]an2: i believe o [06:58] [T]an2: *so [06:58] where can i add custom stuff to run on startup? it used to be rc.local, but now that contains system stuff and my local changes get destroyed on upgrade [06:59] BeatBreaker82: copy the sources.list from the cdrom you have of ubuntu [06:59] beniamino: on login or startup in general? [06:59] hi all how i make shadow links in ubuntu [06:59] maco: system startup [06:59] generic: shadow links? [06:59] beniamino: oh. ok nvm [06:59] ya shadow liks [06:59] do you mean symlinks? [06:59] beniamino: nothing in /etc should get automatically destroyed on upgrade [06:59] no no [06:59] maco: twilight princess rofl [06:59] any idea why it seems my ubuntu alternative cd installation needs an internet connection to install base components? [06:59] beniamino: least of all rc.local [06:59] 1080p video stutters very badly on my system. But I can still switch back and forth between other applications and the system runs smoothly. What can I do to improve video playback at high resolution? [06:59] hi, I have a new problem. I can't get sound in GNOME unless I turn the volume up very loud, and even then it's soft and muffled under static [06:59] can someone help? [07:00] beniamino: i mean, id make symlinks in the different /etc/init.x directories, but.... [07:00] in shadow links i can apply any rights related to users [07:00] lily [07:00] h4mx0r: what? [07:00] MikeCulver: Buy a much faster CPU [07:00] BeatBreaker82 : system>admin>software sources tenub, maybe you got the minimal version. There are various versions right now. [07:00] lily_air [07:00] in symling primary roor links apply [07:00] root permissions [07:00] one would think all the files needed to install would be on the cd. [07:00] vocx: might have been this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/linux/+bug/129910 not usre [07:00] I think I need to sleep. Goodnight #ubuntu [07:00] Launchpad bug 129910 in linux "Blank ttys when using vesafb (vga=xxx)" [Medium,Fix released] [07:00] Amaranth: An Athlon 64 X2 4050 Black Edition isn't good enough? [07:00] MikeCulver: Nope === ircleuser is now known as dpupp [07:00] Amaranth: but.. it is fine in Windows... [07:00] MikeCulver: On Windows 1080p works because it uses the GPU [07:01] generic: ive never heard of that and its not in the ln manpage [07:01] MikeCulver: In Linux we have no access to this part of the GPU [07:01] Amaranth: ah.. But I used FFdshow on Windows... not a hardware-based codec [07:01] ok [07:01] so [07:01] Amaranth: More specific, Windows has better codecs for 1080p playback [07:01] anyone know? [07:01] Linux video codecs tend to suck wind unfortunately [07:01] or is there a way to configure my system by default to accept custom compiled packages [07:01] see i want to make a link from root but then i want to apply ownership of user in user home dir [07:01] compbrain: Sure, they have CoreAVC [07:01] what to do [07:02] is there a way to change package version information once it has been installed? [07:02] Amaranth: Well, would it possibly help to change video playback methods? I would like to try it I can. [07:02] if i do it now it says to user not enough permissions [07:02] compbrain: It's only better because it's multithreaded [07:02] maco: do you have any tips for applications that have no sound. its just smplayer that doesn't have sound [07:02] m0u5e: get a source pkg and compile it ? [07:02] I've downloaded Wine (Version 0.9.59), and I'm trying to find a .exe from my windows partition. I can browse the partition (If it helps, its in NTFS and its a Vista partition, which is why I'm on Ubuntu <3), however, I can not find the .exe through the deskstop folder or through the start menu->Programs folder. Actually, almost no .exe files are showing. Non in the desktop folder, nor programs folder. Any ideas? [07:02] Amaranth: I just don't know how to go about doing that.. Or is it truly useless? [07:02] Amaranth: It is also a better decoder overall, even single threaded it is faster [07:02] MikeCulver: Xv is the only one that has a chance, gl will probably run just about as fast and the rest will run much slower [07:02] h4mx0r: no, but what was the zelda thing for? [07:02] compbrain: It never runs single threaded [07:02] m0u5e : why do you want to do that [07:02] hello - how can you install vista onto an exisiting partition of ubuntu and allow dual boot [07:02] Rat409, wow, that's a beautiful bug report. [07:03] compbrain: But this is the only codec I can think of where windows has something better [07:03] Amaranth: I mean, running on a single core [07:03] vocx: so it's fixed in hardy? [07:03] zvacet: i recently compiled something, but ubuntu keeps wanting to auto upgrade it (even though the package i compiled was newer) [07:03] Radit, I'm using Gutsy ha ha ha [07:03] Amaranth: does EXA vs XAA matter here? Also, would Compiz affect playback? [07:03] MikeCulver: No and not really [07:03] zvacet: if ubuntu comes out with a newer version, i'd want it to auto upgrade, but until then, i want it to accept my compiled package [07:03] hehe... os you have the same problem as me, hah haha [07:04] MikeCulver: turning compiz off might help a little bit if you aren't running the video fullscreen [07:04] Amaranth: Also... my CPU is maxxing out at only 73% on one core.. [07:04] maco: so i want update-rc.d -f my_script start 90 0 ? [07:04] Infernox222, you have to create a seperate partition to install Vista. You can shrink the volume of your ubuntu partition, and use the empty space for Vista. Atleast thats what I did to put Ubuntu on my Vista laptop. =] [07:04] MikeCulver: The codec is not multithreaded [07:04] m0u5e: no, you could build proper debs and set a version in there that is the ubuntu one then +1 or something so that if an ubuntu update comes through, it overrides your homemade deb though [07:04] and for the dualboot screen? [07:05] Infernox222, gnome has a dual built screen built into the installation. [07:05] MikeCulver: To do pure software h.264 1080p playback you need CoreAVC (windows) or an intel core 2 duo overclocked to 4Ghz or so [07:05] beniamino: looks about right...update-rc.d isnt actually meant for humans :P [07:05] maco: yeah, but for this one, I set the version # wrong... and I really don't want to recompile it, cause it would dtake time... is there a way for me to change it? [07:05] beniamino: its so postinst scripts can handl things [07:05] m0u5e: no, i dont think so [07:05] m0u5e: Do you have two versions of package [07:05] Radit, Rat409 although you can't deny it's kinda hard to find and fill bug reports like that, I mean, where do you fill something like this. Those guys have Nvidia and intel but I have Via, so it's totally different I'd never search the nvidia packages and expect to find something similar. [07:05] what can i use to shrink the partition? no net at the moment in hardy [07:05] Amaranth: what gpu are you talking about? [07:06] Amaranth: I'm telling you I was doing it with ffdshow in windows. core actually performed slightly worse on this system. [07:06] zvacet: okay the package in question is "wesnoth 1.4.2" [07:06] MikeCulver: Then try disabling compiz [07:06] Infernox222, I'm new to Linux, so I can't tell you. Maybe ask some others and they can help you. [07:06] h4mx0r: sounds like intel [07:06] There was an experimental mplayer patch to take advantage of potential compiz acceleration [07:06] zvacet: it's displayed as such: wesnoth 1.4.2-1 (mine) and wesnoth 1:4.1-1 (ubuntu) [07:06] alright thank you [07:06] compbrain: not really acceleration [07:06] Amaranth: umm he says he uses an amd... [07:06] compbrain: well, it used shaders to do scaling [07:06] Yeah. [07:06] hai [07:07] compbrain: Trust me, I know about it :) [07:07] Someone doing it more effectivley than mplayer was ^-^ [07:07] MikeCulver: what's the prob man I'm not getting the facts right [07:07] m0u5e : try to lock Ubuntu version in synaptic ( I don´t think you will see your version there) [07:07] compbrain: It is a bit of a performance win [07:07] Can someone help me please installing 7.10 - I am getting a BusyBox screen with a command prompt. [07:07] can anyone tell me what default hardy program can shrink an exisiting ubuntu partition? [07:07] maco: if it isn't meant for humans, is there an easier way? i just want to run one line on startup [07:07] hehe... os you have the same problem as me, hah haha [07:08] zvacet: no, i used checkinstall so synaptic does handle it, but i would like to upgrade via ubuntu's repos when and if a newer ver comes out [07:08] infernoX222: the install cd has gparted on it if you need to resize [07:08] h4mx0r: I'm trying to smooth out my playback of high-resolution video... I can get 720p to play like a dream.. but some 1080p/i stuff stutters or the video dies out and I just get audio... no further video updates. [07:08] FullHD is hard. [07:08] MikeCulver: What video player are you using, btw? [07:08] m0u5e :then lock your version [07:08] Amaranth: Totem.. [07:08] MikeCulver: yeah... what hardware are you using? [07:08] MikeCulver: try mplayer [07:08] alright cool - thank you [07:08] beniamino: well i mean it has an ugly syntax because its not meant for humans. i think if you have the script in your /etc/init.d/ you can use the normal services config thing in system -> admin [07:08] Amaranth: nvidia 7025 [07:09] MikeCulver: if mplayer sucks too hard try smplayer. and you using nv or nvidia driver? [07:09] Amaranth: obviously using restricted nvidia-new [07:09] MikeCulver: I'm tempted to blame the whole thing on nvidia and run away [07:09] Amaranth: lol [07:09] nvidia breaks everything :P [07:09] Amaranth: well, I get worse results out of my FireGL in my laptop [07:10] Amaranth: isn't surprising coming from the person saying he was using an intel graphics card on an amd motherboard :/ [07:10] h4mx0r: what?!? [07:10] hello [07:10] Is anyone using ipv6 successfully on 7.10? [07:10] h4mx0r: Was a brain fart [07:10] whenever i download packages i get a ton or FAILED and HIT results [07:10] MikeCulver: nothing just an admirer of your cpu [07:10] E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room [07:10] E: Error occured while processing qtdmm (NewFileDesc2) [07:10] E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_feisty_universe_binary-i386_Packages [07:10] E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

[07:11] Amaranth: can you publish the list perhaps? [07:11] orry [07:11] My resolution is et to 800x600, while my Nvidia chipset has 1280x1024 capability. Please help, I will send you a free ticket to my show. [07:11] sorry [07:11] MikeCulver: None of them are related to your problem [07:11] there is a problem with servers [07:11] i think my sources.lst is busted [07:12] can i just get a copy of someone elses? [07:12] moving video desktop in Ubuntu - http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-loop-movie-or-video-as-desktop.html [07:12] Amaranth: who can't? its called changelogs and launchpad :/ [07:12] i put in the ubuntu cd and restarted and see no gpartition option... [07:12] !repomirror > BeatBreaker82 [07:12] BeatBreaker82, you can't paste more than a few lines, the bots will autoban you. Keep everything on the same line. [07:12] No Aersosmith fans? [07:12] zvacet: okay, i found the solution, i just used "aptitude forbid-version wesnoth=1:4.1-1" [07:12] h4mx0r: Now you're just being insulting :p [07:12] zvacet: that way, when a new version comes out it will auto upgrade [07:13] m0u5e: you locked it from terminal good [07:13] Does ubuntu suport any of the atherose Wifi drivers? [07:13] zvacet: i didn't lock it, i just forbid the versions i mentions :D [07:13] clintchance: I think all the g cards work, dunno about n [07:13] !repomirror > emma [07:13] Amaranth: how are detailed bug reports insulting? [07:13] 802.11n, that is [07:13] h4mx0r: Nevermind [07:13] clintchance, yes sir. Read the forums. Tons of people with atheros cards. [07:14] Amaranth its on a laptop it has both [07:14] MikeCulver: Anyhow, did you try mplayer? [07:14] m0u5e : O.K. but same result [07:14] clintchance: No, that means it's an n card [07:14] n cards support g too [07:14] clintchance: I have no clue if those work, last I heard they didn't but that was ~4 months ago [07:14] Amaranth: mplayer works smooth as butter [07:14] nclintchance: if its n then its also g and if its g its also b but it might not be a [07:14] is anybody here using hardy? [07:15] 47% peak load [07:15] Radit: yes. [07:15] hi, I'm trying to fix muffled sound output in my system. How can I do this? [07:15] Radit: of course [07:15] MikeCulver: Figures, gstreamer still has some problems with such things [07:15] Radit: yes [07:15] hey guys I have my PC hooked up to my TV on a fresh install of ubuntu and it was working fine but now I rebooted and it's just displaying a black screen. I tried logging in and I heard the login sound, so the PC is working correctly, it's just my display suddenly stops working when it should display the Gnome login screen. (I'm using a Panasonic 42" plasma). How can I reconfigure the video settings from the command line over ssh? [07:15] Amaranth: however, it gives me errors about packet overflows in the buffer... even though the video is nice and smooth and synced [07:15] MikeCulver: bad video file? [07:16] MidgetSpy, -- please turn off, then turn on the tv [07:16] Good night [07:16] cewe_manis [07:16] Amaranth: I'm inclined not to agree... this is with two different files... even encoded differently [07:16] still problems [07:16] cewe_manis [07:16] Amaranth: Just seek around a bit and it starts freaking out. [07:16] do you have any regrets? ;-) [07:16] i did the chosoe best server [07:16] MikeCulver: weird [07:16] can anyone direct me to the prtition option on the hardy ubuntu cd? my listed options on boot are live cd install ubuntu check cd for defects test mem boot from first hdd [07:16] MikeCulver: anyhow, as long as it plays... :) [07:17] drivetrax: still nothing [07:17] i'm contemplating on installing hardy.. and read that most people still prefer gutsy.. [07:17] MidgetSpy, - does it help to re-set the plasma tv? [07:17] Amaranth: well, you have to appreciate the sheer amount of data being buffered.. they probably set the sizes with 480p in mind [07:17] MikeCulver: I guess [07:18] drivetrax: the weird thing is this is a fresh re-install and it's having problems, but my last install (off the same CD) had no issues at all [07:18] InfernoX222 : first one [07:18] MikeCulver: Although the general rule is if mplayer and/or vlc won't play it then it is either in a small group of unsupported codecs or the file is broken [07:18] InfernoX222: just start the live-cd, until you get to the desktop; there you can start gparted from the menu [07:18] gutsy vs hardy? whats your impression? [07:18] MidgetSpy, -- possible the sessions changed [07:18] ok, well i got ubuntu to boot on my hammerhead tablet.. but now i can't get the stylus to work.. [07:18] Radit: compiz is better in hardy :) [07:18] InfernoX222: and, like zvacet said, it is the first option in the bootmenu [07:18] InfernoX222 : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/installing [07:18] Radit: hardy is better [07:19] anyone know anything about stylus's and tablet pc's? [07:19] anolis: if you can get yours work, tell me :D [07:19] run a full screen video.. and use Compiz [07:19] Amaranth, on your list of codecs you would include wm9 or wm10 or something? [07:19] thanks - and our router is messed up and only giving nt to one comp at a time... so no net access [07:19] im on my cell lol [07:19] vocx: wm9 runs with w32codecs, although not lossless wma [07:19] heh [07:19] drivetrax: so how can I reset the settings from the terminal? [07:19] Amaranth: are you sure? i've read http://fosswire.com/2008/04/24/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-review that gutsy is fater(?)... [07:19] vocx: I think only realmedia is in the list now, we have wmv3 support [07:19] weee i made it [07:20] hello ubuntites [07:20] darkgrue: hei :-) [07:20] Radit: I'm probably the worst person to get an opinion from. As a developer of course i want to saw the latest version if better, I put a lot of work into it. :) [07:20] hello everyone I am new here [07:20] me too tetrive ^_^ [07:20] just wiped out windows on this machine last week [07:21] Amaranth: Is it normal for mplayer to disallow seeking? [07:21] MidgetSpy, - Ohhh, you can use a terminal? [07:21] Radit , hardy rockz ! However, why not just start the live-cd a couple-a-times and play around with it before you turn yer system upside down; see if ya like it ? [07:21] still tinkering around with configuring [07:21] MikeCulver: Nope [07:21] tetrive: darkgrue: this is a support channel. Do you have specific questions? If not move it to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:21] actually i do [07:21] Amaranth: Does it just do it with files of a certain datarate? [07:21] i am having trouble with my dvd burners [07:21] does anyone know anything about stylus's? [07:21] MikeCulver: I don't think so [07:21] I'm here for learning [07:22] anolis: canon printers? [07:22] MikeCulver: I would still blame your file :) [07:22] Radit: as a fellow end-user I have to say that gutsy was buggy and some apps were just broken, I feel that hardy is much more polished and faster than gutsy [07:22] darkgrue: what trouble ? [07:22] Radtoo^laptop, negative... i have a Hammerhead XRT. im trying to avoid using windows xp tablet edition. [07:22] Deepthought: hmm.. i'm very inclined to upgrade to hardy cause i love using gutsy very much.. I'll try.. [07:22] well lets see....they don't burn....much..... [07:22] i can get the master drive to burn audio cds [07:23] and thats about it [07:23] anolis: Oh, so you mean a tablet pc, not a "canon stylus" series printer [07:23] the slave does not seem to mount at all [07:23] Radtoo^laptop, correct [07:23] !enter | darkgrue [07:23] darkgrue: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:23] MidgetSpy, -- ctrl alt backspace - kills the xwindow service [07:23] how do i track down the cause of repeated system lockups with ubuntu [07:23] anolis: So, well, I have some experience, though not with model in particular... most of the screens act as a synaptics device [07:23] Amaranth: your an ubuntu developer?? [07:24] Radit: Something like that [07:24] simtower, maybe the logs in /var/log can shed an idea. You can view them also from the system menu. [07:24] Radit, like I said, Hardy' really great (xcept if you have a philips tv-card it might hang, did with me, but maybe they solved it already); but the great thing about the live-system-cd is that you don't have to decide on install before you check it out as much as you want, whil leaving your day-to-day sys intact [07:24] Radtoo^laptop, well i got it installed using a dell inspiron 1000 laptop. then popped the installed hdd into the hammerhead [07:24] Radtoo^laptop, had a bit of trouble getting it to boot at first, but that was operator error [07:24] Deepthought, what philips card, a saa7134? [07:25] thanks for all your help guys - later! [07:25] Amaaranth: then of course you'll be bias, hehe.. [07:25] ne know a good place to get *current* e-books about linux [07:25] vocx: YEP, WELL, IT'S A zOLID FROM aldi, BUT THE CHIP INDEED IS THAT ONE [07:25] sorry fer capslock foilks ! [07:25] Deepthought, ha ha caps [07:25] Amaranth: j/k, your awesome [07:25] hehe.. [07:26] arrr, I just installed Ubuntu on Dell Dimension E521 but the resolution is set to 800x600, while it's capable of 1280x1024. How can I fix it? The max resolution selection value in the options is 800x600. [07:26] vocx: I' m gonna taker it off ! it's to close to tab [07:26] drivetrax: I have ssh access to the machine so yes I can use a terminal [07:26] perhaps there is a distro of linux more oriented at tablet computing? [07:26] Deepthought, don't you people look at the screen when you type? Anyway, my saa7134 plays only with xawtv, but I bet it has something to do with my VIA video card which sucks. [07:27] darkgrue: please, if you respond to someone, use the name bfore the sentence, that way it gets highlighted in my screen so I know yer talking to mee [07:27] anolis: I don't know. You didn't really say what your current problem is in detail, either :) [07:27] hi [07:27] ;_: [07:27] hi, can someone help me with muffled sound? It seems like everything is turned up, yet I'm getting muffled sound [07:27] help! === Dennis__ is now known as bubble_moy [07:28] JDSBlueDevl, check your speakers headphones, maybe they are kaput. You never know. [07:28] Radtoo^laptop, my problem is, i have no OSK and the stylus doesn't do anything.. the pointer is sitting stationary in the middle of the screen. i have to plug a keyboard in to use the thing [07:29] vocx: actually, even though I type ten digits I lokk at the board; maybe because I learned using ten fingers on the piano, and I never play from sheetmusic ;-), look at the screen when it's done, but hitting enter is so automatic it's gone before ya know it; about the card; it used to hang hardy, some hal-initiation error, so I took it out until it got fixed; I take it it got fixed ? [07:30] anolis: well, I figure you could fix your xorg configuration for your stylus to work, manually (should be like for any synaptics device if your hardware is similar - sorry, can't google you a link, but at least this gives you search terms...) [07:30] StevenTyler, install the correct drives, use the restricted package, check the forums, there is a Dell subforum in ubuntuforums.org [07:30] so is someone going to try and help me or just send bots to harrass me over chat etiquette? [07:30] anolis: as far as an osk goes, how would you operate that without stylus? [07:30] my speakers were working fine a few days ago [07:30] I did recently have to reset all my GNOME settings [07:31] darkgrue: how did you burn the audio cd's ? what program, I mean; and are you sure the slave is properly connected (did it work on another os for instance, or with the live cd ? alll drives are supposed to mount automagic'ly [07:31] gnome desktop sound [07:31] Radtoo^laptop, thats the other problem.. the hardware spec's are very sparse.. (by plugging in a keyboard via the 1 usb port it has) [07:31] Ive had issues with Being able to burn a dvd once. then the DVD burner some how gets lost by the system. :( Not sure what the deal is. seems tobe a deep issue however. [07:31] darkgrue: !patience [07:31] hi, anyone knows of a xspf graphic playlist creator [07:31] JDSBlueDevl, -- you reset gnome? where is the sound now? [07:31] darkgrue: (sorry) [07:31] what is /sbin/shutdown supposed to do by default? i thought it was -P for power off, but my system now seems to halt under hardy [07:31] JDSBlueDevl, is gnome sound controller ALSA, or what [07:31] Deepthought, this is offtopic but what? Playing piano looking at your fingers? [07:32] anolis: there's various tools to get very exact hardware specs, such as "lshw", "lspci", "lsusb", "hwinfo", the kde / gnome hardware viewers... [07:32] Is there anybody around that could maybe help me with this error? I'm trying to log into Bongo that I just got running. http://paste.ubuntu.com/11228/ [07:32] hold on, computer froze [07:32] (Hello, I got no sound, I reset gnome desktop.. where's my sound gone?) ehehe [07:32] vocx: yep, and offtopic it is... (usually I just close my eyes, but look every once in a while to keep my bearing, same with typing) [07:32] I'm using gnome-volume control [07:32] it's gotta be the the lsusb for usb [07:33] hello [07:33] I am getting sound through my headphones, but that being said, at this setting it should be blasting my eardrums [07:33] Deepthought, my saa7134 card has worked xawtv but nothing else. [07:33] JDSBlueDevl, be sure the tiny little x's under the sliders are set right on/mute [07:33] vocx: do you run hardy or gutsy ? [07:33] hello everyone [07:33] hardy freaking rocks [07:33] drivetrax: it shows the "Ubuntu" and orange loading bar but as soon as it gets to the end it disappears and goes black forever :-| [07:33] hold on, still waiting for GNOME to lad up [07:33] ya [07:33] *load [07:33] Radtoo^laptop, mm i will try that.. maybe i can find something.. [07:33] ogt: why? [07:33] i just got conky working :) [07:34] haha.. [07:34] Deepthought, gutsy, this problem I've had since Edgy. [07:34] vocx: and have you tried kde tv ? taht worked in gutsy with me too) [07:34] Radtoo^laptop, dunno what i will do with what i find though >_< [07:34] linux [07:34] only pc-speaker and microphone are set to mute [07:34] ATI x1250 dont list under lspci after upgrade to 8.04 and update-pciids is downloading file from sourceforge when run, what i doing wrong ? [07:34] vocx: ok, so beware with hardy, I 'm not sure that hal-hanging at boot error has been fixed [07:34] Anyone know if it's possible to start the gnome-screensaver (gnome-screensaver-command -l) via ssh? [07:34] MidgetSpy, - tried a virtual shell prompt yet? [07:34] * sjj wonders why Hardy installs with a _beta_ version of firefox [07:35] darkgrue, where are you ? (nice rhyme) [07:35] Deepthought, I think I've tried it. But I don't know if some of those fancy apps use some DRI because I can only use software rendering. [07:35] EVERYWHERE [07:35] webcliet bugged out [07:35] sjj: so as to not have to support FF2 for the next 3 years [07:35] this is darkgrue [07:35] drivetrax: like CTRL+ALT+F#? yes nothing happens [07:35] problems with mytharchive hi def (digital) recordings not exporting to DVD properly. DVD wont play. mytharchive says something about unrecognised resolution. How do i get hi def recordings to DVD [07:35] leftyfb, riiight, so instead ship with a version of software that isn't finished yet. [07:35] vocx: that s'c's, what vga ? [07:35] MidgetSpy, what video card is it? [07:36] sjj: it'll be finished in a month, in which time you'll be updated to the newest version [07:36] sjj, no mater what they decided to do - people would be complaing about it. [07:36] leftyfb, what about firebug? [07:36] how can I make a custom shortcut for an application like the Calculator? [07:36] sjj: what about it? [07:36] if you want FF2, install FF2. [07:36] I'm thinking.... Ctrl-Alt-C [07:36] Deepthought, VIA S3 unichrome Pro IGP, K8M800 [07:36] drivetrax: Intel G35 onboard [07:36] Dr_willis, perhaps, but it would seem more logical if the default was firefox-2 and 3 was a separate package. [07:36] CGI437: so your nick changed ? why ? And remember to type the name of the person you' re talking to (do three letters and then , it will auto-complete) [07:37] leftyfb, doesn't support firefox3 AFAIK [07:37] Dr_willis VendorName "Panasonic" [07:37] ModelName "PANASONIC-TV" [07:37] HorizSync 15.0 - 68.0 [07:37] VertRefresh 59.0 - 61.0 [07:37] MidgetSpy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:37] sjj: and? [07:37] sorry accidental paste [07:37] vocx: is hat on the mobo ? [07:37] sjj, no matter what they did - poeople would complain. I have no issues with FF3 - Use what you want. [07:37] that [07:37] how can one update pci ids to get card x1250 detected? [07:37] MidgetSpy, - possibly in the xorg.conf.. ya got messed up [07:37] Deepthought, yes [07:37] vocx: could it be there is no hardware-acc in the whole system ? [07:37] leftyfb, I see you have no issue with probably the most useful firefox plugin not working on that version. [07:38] drivetrax: well before I just installed and whatever it put in the default settings were perfect. This time, installed from the same CD but i don't know what changed. so I just want to reset it and let it auto-config again! [07:38] ok, got things working, don't know what happened, but actually the reboot helped [07:38] Dr_willis, I did, unfortunately ff3 and ff2 don't play nice together so I also have to perform a bunch of maintenance to get things back to normal after an upgrade to just get what _was_ working back [07:38] Dr_willis, I would expect an upgrade _not_ to break things. [07:38] agree sjj [07:39] sjj: firebug is an addon. It has nothing to do with ubuntu or how it releases firefox. Ubuntu does not work around firebug's release cycle. And no, I have no issue with FF3 not working with an addon I have never used and have no intentions of using. [07:39] Deepthought, there is in Windows and it works in Linux with bugs. In one Ubuntu works in the next version it fails and so. So it is always better to turn it off. That way it won't just crash when you have a screensaver. [07:39] sjj, odd. FF2 and FF3 cause no conflicts here. [07:39] leftyfb, I see, it seems you are happy for an upgrade to break peoples software [07:39] sjj: go troll elsewhere [07:39] vocx: like the cool open-gl ones you mean ? [07:39] Deepthought, which reminds me, what's that Ctrl+key to get the screensaver and lock the computer? [07:39] I have no idea what 'firebug' is, so cant comment on that. I do use all my ff2 extensions in FF3. [07:39] FF2 and 3 work fine for me in Hardy [07:39] along with ALL my addons [07:39] for noth FF2 and FF3 [07:39] leftyfb, well, im not actually here to troll ;) I'm wondering if there's a 'standard' solution for returning to firefox-2 without the manual changes [07:40] Theres a great many extensions that need updateing for FF3 [07:40] If you're not happy, install FF2 or submit bug reports ... or *GASP* make your own OS [07:40] vocx: wouldn't know , I never lock it since I live alone and bear no secretz [07:40] Dr_willis, every time I start ff3 it disables all my ff2 plugins for some reason and then I have to re-install them. [07:40] sjj: sudo apt-get install firefox-2 [07:40] leftyfb, _wrong_ [07:40] right [07:40] it works fine for me [07:40] sjj, cant say that ive noticed that issue. [07:40] Deepthought, I don't know about the open-gls, since every time I tried a screensaver it would crash, I just don't use them anymore. It better than having to reboot 100 times just to test them. [07:40] I need to install a B43 open source driver for my broadcom 4311, but i have to net to fetch it with fwcutter. How to install the driver without net? [07:40] leftyfb, ok, so performing that step, what do _you_ think happens when I click on a link in my IM client? [07:41] =darkgrue had to download an irc client because the webclient i was using was lagging out on me [07:41] sjj: whichever browser you have set in your prefered software settings will open up [07:41] Deepthought, once I accidentally pressed that key combo, and the screensaver appeared so I just wanted to know. [07:41] leftyfb, right, and apt-get install firefox-2 doesn't change that [07:41] don't see why it would [07:41] it shouldent be changing a USER setting anyway [07:41] go set it yourself [07:41] how to check whether my system is 64 bit or 32? [07:41] sjj: firefox -ProfileManager create a separate one for ff3 [07:41] leftyfb, so, your answer was incorrect [07:42] sjj: Try changing sensible-browser and x-www-browser with update-alternatives === alpinerose2k is now known as Azer_ [07:42] no, my answer is correct [07:42] Andycasss, you have net right now don't you? You probably can get the stuff you need and then transfer it to Ubuntu. [07:42] vocx: probably it's the open-GL savers that crash the sys, try the other ones in the screen-saver config, theay should just work; if youy don' t use randem-saver and stick to one you like it should be no prob [07:42] how can I make a custom shortcut for an application like the Calculator? [07:42] I'm thinking.... Ctrl-Alt-C [07:42] anyone know how to get ati x1250 working in 8.04 ? after upgrade from 7.10 it is listed as unknown device :/ [07:42] leftyfb, returning to firefox-2 means returning to that being my standard browser, not just having the files necessary to run it if I want. [07:42] installing FF2 using sudo apt-get install firefox-2 works just fine to install firefox 2. I mentioned nothing of setting Firefox 2 as your default browser which a package is not supposed to mess with. [07:42] vocx: ofcourse i have net right now. I dont know which package to download. [07:43] sjj: you're going to complain either way [07:43] is there a tor alternative (or something that just hides my ip address with 1 layer of redirection)....... ? if i have to pay for it .. it's no problem. ideaz? [07:43] vocx: ever considxred getting a nice vga-card as an upgrade (probably tghe cheapest nvidia or ati would give better performance and none of those probs than the mobo-chip) [07:43] goodnight [07:43] athreya : uname -a if it is 64 you will see it [07:43] Hey ive got this bloody exim4 program that keeps starting up mysteriously from somewhere, becuase i removed this program some time ago and tried just now, but it still starts up when i boot up, listening to port 25, how do i remove this godam progra? [07:43] leftyfb, oh? it's not? but all I did was apt-get dist-upgrade and _that_ changed my default browser. [07:43] arooni-mobile, theres a great many proxy services out you could use. [07:43] sjj: that's not installing A package [07:43] it's updating your OS to the latest [07:44] leftyfb, AFAIK that's just installng packages. [07:44] the latest uses FF3 as default [07:44] no, it's not [07:44] Deepthought, yes, but all of them are fancy 3D, at least that's what I recall. If there was a plain 2D screensaver I'd use it, I guess. About cards, I won't upgrade the card just so my saver won't crash ha. Probably wait til 2010... [07:44] it's installing the latest version of ubuntu [07:44] which uses FF3 as default [07:44] Dr_willis, suggestions? i need programtic access [07:44] leftyfb, apt-get is not ubuntu, it's a packaging system [07:44] you're an idiot [07:44] how does one remove exim4 PERMANENTLY from the computer?? [07:44] is it possible that my disk performances suck becasuse i stopped some ubuntu service? [07:44] leftyfb, so it's using the pacakge system to change my default browser [07:44] go back to gutsy if you don't like it [07:45] hell, go back to windows [07:45] (stuff like dhcbd or avahi or so?) [07:45] arooni-mobile, no idea on what ones to use i dont need them.. and i got no idea what you mean by 'programtic access' Or why one would want to use those prox'ys anyway. [07:45] zvacet:Linux athreya-laptop 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [07:45] leftyfb, i'm sure that would work ;) [07:45] meh [07:45] * Dr_willis misses how every briowser in windows fights tobe the default browser. [07:45] athreya :32 bit [07:45] pa: or perhaps hdparm? [07:46] * Pharos misses using kernels that are 8 years old [07:46] lol [07:46] ;) [07:46] upgrade to 8.04 broke x1250 ati vga card, it shows as unknown device. any tips to fix this ? any help is appriciated [07:46] Hey guys my X session is screwed on my install but if I boot the LiveCD it works 100% perfectly. Which files do I need to copy from the LiveCD to my HD to make my install run exactly like the LiveCD? [07:46] sjj : you upgraded to hardy and there is FF3 [07:46] vocx: that makes sense, but a lot of other stuff benefits from a proper vga, like the tv-crd ? anyway, there are a lot of savers that are noit 3d; all the ones marked open-GL are 3d, the other ones aren't, evn if they look three d, they don't use the accel (that is probably flawed on yer chip, or better on the linux driver for it); if tyou want more savers, there is a package with a whole bunch of them, most not 3d in the repos; can't [07:46] recall the name thoug [07:46] vocx: someting that will pop up in a search for screensaver [07:47] whitty: What did you do to install it? and what did you do to remove it? [07:47] zvacet, yes, however, I had firefox 2 installed on gutsy and that was my default browser, I believe that changing that implicitly by upgrading is wrong. [07:47] opop, actually i got sata drive [07:47] zvacet, however, I know that there's no point arguing about it, so i'm looking for the best solution for a fix, a few people have mentioned things which i'm checking out though [07:47] so hdparm doesnt help much [07:47] sjj: Does update-alternatives work? Please stop arguing so we can concentrate on supporting you. [07:48] zvacet:"2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP"and "UTC 2008 i686 " what they mean? [07:48] mmkay [07:48] so no service missing could cause that? [07:48] everyone take a moment to reflect, and hug their tux. :) [07:48] Flannel, well, that will work to change my default browser, what about resetting the pixmaps for the icons, etc? [07:49] meh. [07:49] pa, what's the actual problem? [07:49] athreya, it's the cpu type and time zone [07:49] Deepthought, yep, well, my tv card is also a cheap one, so I'm cheap. So, maybe I'll just upgrade the whole package the next time. I'm going with a silver case and what not. [07:49] i done apt-get remove exim4, and apparently its not installed, but the bloody thing is listening on port 25 and everytime i reboot, wtf?? [07:49] how do i make my stylus be used as my mouse? [07:49] userlol, might it be sendmail? [07:49] athreya : it means you are runing 32 bit ubuntu version [07:50] after upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 x1250 got lost on lspci and it shows as ::: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7196 . now what can i do to get real card name here. [07:50] userlol: look in /etc/init.d ? [07:50] avahi is networking. dhcbd has to do with networking [07:50] sjj: Er, what? [07:50] sorry, pa, see above [07:50] its in /etc/init.d but wtf is it still there after i ran apt-get remove exim4? [07:51] sjj, I think they explicitly changed the icons to integrate better with gnome. I don't have hardy, but is that really a problem. Got a picture? [07:51] and i dont want sendmail, i use evolution [07:51] userlol, do an apt-get autoclean [07:51] Flannel, removing firefox-3 seems to have removed the associated pixmaps that ubuntu was using for the firefox icon, even though ff2 is installed [07:51] userlol: I you installed exim4, you need to remove exim4-base to remove the functionality [07:51] userlol, your mind is confused [07:51] userlol, evolution is a mail reader [07:51] exim4's a wrapper [07:51] Flannel/vocx: I can perform all of these steps manually and am aware how to do each one, i'm just wondering if there's something quicker available [07:51] opop: metapackage [07:51] userlol, sendmail and exim are mtas [07:51] dummy package [07:51] yes. [07:51] meh [07:51] sarmisak no im just an average user trying to make sense of this [07:51] swat i meant [07:52] not a bloody computer programmer [07:52] im an end user [07:52] end userlol [07:52] yes userlol [07:52] userlol: remove the exim4-base package, and you'll be done [07:52] tihi, get it. [07:52] sjj, nope sorry [07:52] userlol, Flannel is right, remove exim4-base [07:52] how do i log whats causing my machine to crash [07:52] vocx, ok, cheers. [07:52] before i download the latest version, any idea if the current version of ubuntu fixed the errors with using generic usb gps devices and outputting nmea data to console? version 6 had no problems, version 7 did [07:52] anyway, evolution is a client. that's what you want. exim is a server. not what you want. [07:52] just like the dood sed [07:53] simtower, /var/log/syslog [07:53] ah ok, see that makes more sense to me [07:53] sjj: you also may be interested in firefox-2-gnome-support [07:53] nuttin in dere sarmisak [07:53] Flannel, i'll check that out, thanks. [07:53] simtower, how is it crashing? what's wrong? [07:53] system becomes unresponsive and needs reboot [07:54] ssh and serial console dead [07:54] simtower: is this a server or a desktop? [07:54] sjj: do you have an example file in regards to a pixmap that is missing? They look like they're pretty well contained [07:54] a server [07:54] simtower: check your rams, had the same problem before, it just hangs [07:54] mmmm rams. [07:55] ok [07:55] Flannel, well, I changed the main menu one back to the ff2 one already, but it wasn't seamless. [07:55] It reset to the terminal icon when I uninstalled ff3 [07:55] simtower: also install smartmontools [07:55] simtower: you might have a disk problem [07:56] I belive its impossible to replace ff3 with ff2 [07:56] they are sata disks [07:56] simtower: and please backup :D [07:56] so anyone around who can help me configure my dvd drives? [07:56] Hi, i had a few queries - first I wanted to know if I can get an alternative to QuarkXPress (for page-making) on Ubuntu - I need something that will let me export the file as a quark file [07:56] this _is_ the backup server lol [07:56] #ubuntu-it [07:56] If you do so. you will get into some serious trouble. [07:56] sjj: I imagine if you re-installed -2 after removing 3, you would've been fine. but, can't say for sure. [07:56] Flannel, ahh [07:57] sjj: since anything that was done in post-install scripts would've happened then. But the files themselves inside the packages are, as far as I can tell, independant [07:57] hello, i would like to disallow writing to my ntfs partition. I used ntfs-config and writing is unchecked but I am still able to. [07:58] simtower: good luck then :D but it's probably the rams [07:58] ive got all over my logs: May 4 02:38:20 homeserver kernel: [1922405.129954] eth0: excessive work at interrupt. [07:58] Flannel, also, while i'm here. I'm pretty sure 'xmms' used to be a valid package, but doesn't seem to exist anymore. Do you happen to know what it is now? [07:58] salut les pute [07:58] apt-cache shows xmms2 but I don't think it's he same thing. [07:58] the line in fstab for this partition reads umask=222,utf8 0 0, if I change the umask to 666 will that deny writing to the ntfs drive? [07:59] hi guys [07:59] I need to install a B43 open source driver for my broadcom 4311, but i have to net to fetch it with fwcutter. Is there a way to pre-fetch it somehow so i could put it on a usb stick and then just install it?? [08:00] sjj: xmms was old and unmaintained, so it was removed. I believe xmms2 is available, although I'm not familiar with how good of a replacement it is. [08:00] Flannel, fair enough, cheers. [08:00] Andycasss: its built-in to hardys default kernel [08:01] i believe xmms forked to audacious, did it not? [08:01] Rat409: I cant install it from restricted manager. Asks me for net or when i put in the cd, it wants some hardy 20080429 or something... [08:01] Andycasss: or go to openwrt.org/b43 [08:02] mines only working via ndiswrapper bcm94311 (rev02) [08:02] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7196, this card is ati x1250, but after upgrade name got lost and all effects too. how can i set it to recognize card ?

[08:05] or l\Andycassorry wrong link http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [08:05] opop, you see the problem? [08:06] also - help needed for that Quark issue :) [08:06] .qt? I dont know that. [08:06] Andycasss: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 sorry wrong url [08:06] pa: no i don't see the problem, sorry. [08:06] hmmm ok - i'll need something to play quicktime files (qt) [08:07] Arent the ext is .mov for quicktime files? [08:07] Hi there !

[09:02] adam7: Yeah, but it'll create a default vesa one, right? [09:03] What I need is the broken nvidia one to see what the problem is and solve it [09:03] okaasan: yeah, and then use the hardware manager to setup the nvidia [09:03] Erm i found now the file but i cant change annything in it :X [09:03] okaasan, -- if you can use the new xorg.conf it makes.. then remove the restricted drivers, DISABLE them [09:03] <_Net> adam7: (gksudo:11941): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [09:03] _Net: are you using X?

[09:11] LegoMinifig: it is based on ubuntu, but it is NOT ubuntu [09:11] LegoMinifig: like is not the same [09:11] can someone give me the command for ~/ in terminal, I want it to pop out as a window? [09:11] LegoMinifig: no idea, all I know is this the Ubuntu support channel, not the Mint one :) [09:11] I am not asking bout Mint, I am asking for the program name I need to change the monitor. [09:11] dpreacher: go to Appearance in Preferences, and then Desktop font, I suppose [09:12] LegoMinifig: your asking about how to do it on mint, contact mint support [09:12] I cannot change resolution. [09:12] Neither can we. [09:12] Hi all. On my nautilus desktop, I see icons for ~/*, not ~/Desktop/*; I know this happened as a consequence of me tweaking *some* config option (probably with gconf-editor), but I don't remember which, and now I want to revert. How do I change back to ~/Desktop/*? [09:12] so in order to get hardy to make a new xorg.conf do I need to reboot or will killing X do the trick? [09:12] LegoMinifig: in Ubuntu, you would go to System -> Admin -> Screens and change the res [09:12] crdlb: Before I do a thorough research for that Launchpad bug report, please tell me why do have files to be counted for a Properties window. [09:12] jonaskoelker: it will be the icon path [09:13] bullgard4: sorry, I don't follow [09:13] crdlb: "10:09 < crdlb> bullgard4: when it's doing a file count for the Properties window." [09:13] ikonia: ... okay; where do I find it? [09:14] jonaskoelker: I don't know, it's a big database, look through it [09:14] Baby_Shambl3s: I'm not sure what you want to do, but try $ nautilus ~/ [09:14] adam7: thanks :) [09:14] ikonia: "look through it" - yes, but where is it? [09:14] I have a fresh install of Hardy and I'm unable to start Synaptic for some reason. It says launching administrative app (or something) for a bit but that goes away. Any idea whats going on? [09:14] jonaskoelker: open gconf-editor [09:14] jonaskoelker: I think gconf-editor has a search thingy too [09:15] i got a quick emerald question [09:15] bullgard4: there's no automatic way to get the full size and file count of a directory, so when you open Properties on a directory, it recurses through the directory and calculates it [09:15] Smegzor: please open a terminal and as a test do "sudo apt-get update", you should get a warning about a hostname not being able to resolve [09:15] I have seen that warning a few times already [09:15] ahhh... desktop_is_home_dir [09:15] jonaskoelker: it shouldn't be [09:15] what is the fix? [09:15] okay when i open emerald and pick a them double click it what ever... nothing happens... i open terminal hit emerald --replace it works perfectly.... until i close terminal... then i have no title bar [09:15] do u know how to chanche the start session back color? [09:16] Okay [09:16] *change [09:16] Smegzor: ok, you need to boot into recovery mode from your grub menu and drop into a "root shell". once in there edit /etc/hosts and add your machine hostname to a local host ip addres (127.0.0.2) [09:16] Smegzor: does that make sense ? [09:16] I ditched my xorg.conf and hardy gave me the EXACT same one I used to have [09:16] chris_420: so put it in System > Preferences > Sessions > Autostart [09:16] the "it works but it uses the OSS driver instead of the nvidia one" xorg.conf [09:16] yes. I recall doing this before on my main box. Is this a bug? [09:16] Smegzor: yes this is a bug [09:16] im new here [09:16] crdlb okay ill try it....

[09:26] drivetrax: please stop, miss-leading advice is not nice and it's not clever [09:26] finally [09:26] only took 2 hours [09:26] but it's finally compiling [09:26] amazing [09:27] ikonia, I doubt I mislead anyone.. and I wouldn't help with cracks neither, but.. song remains the same.. eh [09:27] drivetrax: annouoncing false/usless commands to a room - is miss-leading help. Please don't [09:29] Baby_Shambl3s, ikonia: you're welcome :) [09:29] twice.. misleading.. is used.. hmmm. okay [09:29] and I fixed my issue: ed ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs [09:29] drivetrax: just don't do it please, instead of trying to defend it [09:29] I ain't gotta defend a useless comment.. dude [09:30] drivetrax: great, so don't do it [09:30] Are there things Ubuntu can not do if I have it installed on a vm that it would do if it was installed as the host os on a separate partition? [09:30] ikonia: how do you know that amfibian__ didn't have a legitimate reason for wanting to use aircrack's packet injection? [09:30] ... song remains tha same.. eh [09:30] gordonjcp: I didn't, I chose not to support it [09:30] kuahara: performance and direct hardware access are the core things [09:30] ikonia: if you can't there's plenty of other people who can [09:31] ikonia: way to give someone a good impression [09:31] gordonjcp: if I can't what ? [09:31] i tried doing: sudo visudo and adding "%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" but i still have to enter a sudo password every 5 minutes. I am part of sudo group. and I KNOW it's a safety risk, but i'm the only one that uses this computer and ssh is disabled. any clue why i still need a PW? [09:31] how will being on a vm impede performance? [09:31] kuahara: it won't impede it, thats not a fair term, but it will not be quite as good as running on the native hardware, especially on lower spec'd home user kit [09:31] kuahara: there will be a certain amount of overhead for running the host OS, and also the VM will not be communicating directly with hardware [09:32] oh, okay [09:32] !dvd [09:32] there we go [09:32] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [09:32] kuahara: also, it's easier to give raw access to cpu and ram than disk, so it also depends on the application [09:32] DrMitch: what does the % mean at the start of the line? [09:33] I need help with skype, when I listen to music and all that good stuff, I get stereo in my headset, but when I'm on skype, it only sends the left channel [09:33] what do you mean by lower spec'd home user kit? [09:33] i think that's for groups of sudo as opposed to user "sudo" [09:33] does anyone know how to fix this? [09:33] DrMitch: correct [09:33] DrMitch: are you in the sudo group? [09:33] kuahara: home user kit is not as "setup" for the more advanced enterprise hardware [09:33] yes [09:34] enterprise hardware such as? [09:34] DrMitch: since adding yourself to the group have you logged out and logged back in again? [09:34] kuahara: more expensive enterprise hardware [09:34] kuahara: more ram, faster cpu; or the IBM z9000 [09:34] i'm logged out, restarted, restarted, restarted, logged out, logged out again [09:34] kuahara: there's more to "good quality" servers than just big chunky power supplies and hot-swap drives [09:34] (kuahara: ... which is basically just a really big box that costs really big money) [09:34] kuahara, -- if I set up a video editing software on my home pc.. with what I have, vs.. all top of the line fully loaded machine.. which runs better?

I might just throw it away [09:37] I don't have any practical use for it [09:37] kuahara: can we take it to #ubuntu-offtopic channel please.

[09:49] i know, because of that i told what os i have [09:49] soundf_ what are you asking [09:49] and i ask if it is 64bit os [09:50] if my os is 64bit [09:50] sorry bout that (computer froze up) is anyone still wiling tto help with my oroblem?

[09:53] i chose " Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM)" [09:53] x86 is not 64 bit [09:53] because the option: " 64bit AMD and Intel computers" is actually only for AMD [09:54] so i dont have 64? [09:54] if you have x86, you have the 32 bit version [09:54] my CPU is Q6600 [09:54] ... [09:54] it's 32? [09:54] ... [09:55] i just tryed it.. i guess its installed [09:55] already [09:55] soundf_, you need to get the 64bit version of ubuntu to be able to utilize your 64bit processor, otherwise it falls back to 32bit mode [09:55] soundf_ your cpu is capable of handling 64 OS's and applications. Your OS, if you downloaded / installed the x86 version, is a 32 bit os [09:55] hi every1, anyone knows where i can find info about getting hdmi to work with ati drivers on a x1250 intergrated card?

Which driver is really loaded, and how can I switch to the radeon driver? [10:00] DanielRM: Do you mean that you want the opposite of --span-servers (or something like that), in that you DON'T want pages that are on the same server, only pages that are on different servers? [10:01] johey: what card is it? [10:01] LaneLimited: p7zip. did you know you can search the repositories? [10:01] DanielRM: Do I need to install b7zip then? [10:01] * anolis gives up on ubuntu [10:01] anyone that can point me to a webpage about ati drivers and hdmi to get it working? [10:01] crdlb: ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP] [10:01] kwtm: yes. I'm trying to download screenshots of desktops on external hosting sites that people have done on a forum thread. [10:01] damn but when i chose "64bit AMD and Intel computers" in the ubuntu download page it says "Computer Platform: amd64" [10:01] hi, when I double click on a torrent file, my mouse pointer remains busy for awhile though the torrent is already open in Deluge. Any idea how to troubleshoot this? [10:01] LaneLimited: Yes. [10:01] void^: I don't know what you mean about repos [10:02] LaneLimited: However, just look in Add/Remove. [10:02] bye, and thanx for the help to the helpful ones for the acknowledgment. [10:02] LaneLimited: 7zip is there. [10:02] soundf_: that's the name of the platform. 64bit intel cpus are amd64 compatible. [10:02] soundf_: AMD just beat intel to it, so they got to design it [10:02] LaneLimited: search for 7zip in synaptics or using apt-cache. [10:02] DanielRM: Thanks... i just looked in syntac manager... Forgot about add/remove. [10:02] DanielRM: I think you can use --span-hosts --exclude-domains original.domain.com [10:02] ~Later [10:02] im running ubuntu with fluxbox, I have xcompmgr running as composite with commands -n -C -f -F even knwoing windows are now transparent with composite I cnat get it to work for AWN or even cairo-dock, can anyone help me with this problem? [10:02] kwtm: Thanks. I'll give it a try. :) [10:02] This lets wget: a) go to different hosts, and b) ignore the original host it's on. [10:03] DanielRM: I never tried it, but it comes to mind. man wget for more options, of course. [10:03] hi, I used to have a command to get the names of all my installed packages, but I forgot it, anyone got any idea what it was ? [10:03] johey: that card isn't particularly well-supported by the radeon driver (compiz won't work and other 3d things will work poorly), 2d is fine though [10:03] damn so i need to delete my os and install the 64bit.. [10:03] johey: if you really want to use it, you just need to get rid of the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx) [10:03] kwtm: I looked through the man page but didn't see anything which looked to be of value. On the other hand, I'm a bit slow this morning - it probably is there. [10:04] crdlb: According to http://free3d.org/, this card is tested and working with the radeon driver. One reports DRI is working with Xorg 7.2.0 and one with DRI nonworking with Xorg 1.3.0. That is why I asked about the version. [10:04] If I uppgrade to hardy do I have to set up everything again (like a clean install) or can i save my settings somehow? [10:04] I want to write a script that goes into a .deb file (which I guess is just like a zip/tar/bz2 file) and copy some file to another location (outside the .deb file). If the file inside the MyDeb.deb file is dir1/dir2/myfile (for example), what console/script command can I use to copy it to ~/mydir/myfile? [10:04] Vikketor1, depends on what settings you mean. Upgrade should save most all settings [10:05] Vikketor1: You should not have to set up everything again, although backups are always a good idea. [10:05] ok [10:05] crdlb: Oh, but fglrx is not loaded. I have not installed any restricted packages. This is a totally fresh installation of Hardy Heron. [10:05] kwtm: you can extract debs using dpkg-deb. [10:05] ok [10:05] crdlb: It must be another driver. [10:05] johey: half the people report No for DRI because it's barely supported [10:05] wuenas [10:05] void^: Thank you! Could I name a specific package within a deb file to be extracted by dpkg-deb? I'm going to check the man page right now... [10:06] DanielRM: What do I search inside add/remove to find this program.... i typed 7zip and b7zip.... what is the name of it... Are you sure it's there... [10:06] crdlb: Neither radeon nor fglrx is loaded. Is it vesa or fbdevice? [10:06] johey: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [10:06] crdlb: Oh, of course. Thanks. [10:06] LaneLimited: Do you have all the repositories enabled? [10:06] johey: it's possible to use either radeon or fglrx without the kernel module [10:06] (just with no DRI) [10:06] kwtm: you'll probably have to extract the entire archive.. though i'm sure there is some way [10:06] DanielRM: Probly not since i don't know what those are [10:06] DanielRM: please help me [10:07] LaneLimited: Of course I will. That's the point of Ubuntu - there's a community. [10:07] DanielRM: ty [10:07] LaneLimited: Repositories are just online databases of packages which your package managers connect to and use to download and update from. [10:07] hi all [10:08] crdlb: Hm. Strange. It claims it loads the radeon driver, but lsmod does not show it. [10:08] DanielRM: so when/if you tell me how to enable these, I should enable them all? [10:08] how can I change the mapping of the keyboard for all the system? I changed from a spanish keyboard to english one [10:08] DanielRM: I think I MIGHT have been to the screen..... let me see [10:08] LaneLimited: you can configure them in software sources in System - Administration, but for the moment you just need to go into Add/Remove again and at the top change the drop-down menu from Supported apps to All available [10:09] DanielRM: thanks [10:09] johey: pastebin the Xorg.0.log, and check dmesg for relevant errors [10:09] LaneLimited: then you should be able to find 7zip, and it'll ask you if want to enable the other sources than the default when you apply the changes. [10:09] My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error? [10:10] DanielRM: yes i see 7zip.. but i don't understand what you just said [10:10] LaneLimited: just install it. It'll ask you if want to enable the other sources when you click apply, to which you should answer yes. [10:11] DanielRM: alright im instlaling...I think i have the check boxes checked inside source .. w/e.... should i have the third party tab check boxes checked i guess? [10:11] hi babys :D [10:11] anyone here experienced with red5 installation? [10:12] LaneLimited: it's often useful, but not required. [10:12] anyone that can point me to a webpage about ati drivers and hdmi to get it working? [10:12] crdlb: http://johansvensson.eu/~johey/tmp/Xorg.0.log [10:13] i get blackscreen on hdmi with the drivers. the dvi works.. hdmi works without the drivers [10:13] DanielRM: Ok i am in open my file with.... I don't see 7zip as a choice and it did not show up on my menu... how can i rrun this program to extract my file... alt+f2 7zip ?? I'm not sure where my files go [10:13] anyone here using the fish shell? [10:14] johey: (II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering not officially supported on RN50/RC410/R600 [10:14] LaneLimited: unlike on Windows, I don't think 7Zip has a graphical interface on Linux. Just try right-clicking the file and choosing to extract it. [10:14] johey: this should improve in Intrepid because ATI released full 3d specifications for their cards though [10:15] DanielRM: alright it worked.. thanks a lot!! Very good information. [10:15] LaneLimited: Heh, just seen the filename you said you were trying to extract. Reliving a few memories from the SNES age? [10:16] crdlb: Strange that some people report it working then... :/ [10:16] DanielRM: I beat this game so many times... LoL [10:16] LaneLimited: :) Goodo. [10:16] Hi, I have a strange problem with audio. When I open some video in Firefox, then I can't play mp3s or movies on regular players (vlc, amarok, quodlibet, totem). They just crashes. I have to close Firefox and re-open them. Is it normal? What can I do? [10:16] im running ubuntu with fluxbox, I have xcompmgr running as composite with commands -n -C -f -F even knwoing windows are now transparent with composite I cnat get it to work for AWN or even cairo-dock, can anyone help me with this problem? [10:16] johey: it'll only work (poorly) with the very latest code, but it's just not worth it yet [10:17] DanielRM: Do you play any emulators? [10:17] crdlb: Ok. Have ATi solved their rights issues for the release of the full specifications and free drivers yet? [10:17] when i try to enter www.ubuntuguides.com my x restarts:/ [10:18] LaneLimited: a few. I still run some N64 games occasionally, and I have a PS1 emulator just to play Final Fantasy IX. [10:18] svein: wow extreme never seen that [10:18] johey: yep, there was never really a legal issue with releasing the specs. It's just the drivers themselves that use code they don't have full rights to [10:18] i know, it wierd.. and i have no idea what cause it [10:18] when I start graveman, it outputs 'mp3' as a supported file format, but it doesn't allow me to add mp3 files to an audio cd [10:18] what might be wrong? [10:19] I have libid3tag0 installed [10:19] crdlb: Oh, really?! So, we can expect free drivers in a near future then? :) [10:19] DanielRM: What n64 emulator do you use? [10:20] johey: as soon as the DRI developers get them working :) [10:20] yall ok in here [10:20] LaneLimited: Mupen64. It's a pain to get working and I miss Project64 from Windows, but I'm not using a VM just for N64 games and WINE doesn't seem to support it too well. [10:20] crdlb: Have they already got the full specs by ATi? [10:20] that's my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86418 [10:20] johey: if you're curious, they have the specs hosted at http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/ [10:20] they don't mean much to me though :) [10:21] how do I remove pulseaudio? I'm sick of it [10:21] why dont ubuntu support wine [10:21] the syslog for proftp is telling me: invalid shell /bin/bash [10:22] AAARGH!! Could someone please tell me what the username and password are for CUPS when I try to access it at http://localhost:631? [10:22] if I try to remove pulseaudio, it also want to remove the package ubuntu-desktop [10:22] DanielRM: I was using project64 last night... was working great ... I then was trying to get full screen to work... I got it to work perfectly so i wanted to lower my full screen resu... yes im using wine... Then now.... I cannot even play the game at all... loads the game... i see nothing but sound... I tried to uninstall and delete the folder from the virtual C:drive and reinstall.... it saves my controller settings so i know [10:22] it didn't completly GO AWAY... Do you know how to Start over [10:22] any way to force remove pulseaudio? [10:23] My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error? [10:23] LaneLimited: I don't, sorry. [10:23] soo, i have decided to install xp on my machine and do that BEFORE i install ubuntu, but how do i delete ubuntu and at the same time install XP? [10:24] crdlb: That's a very good approach, IMHO. Giving the specs to the Xorg team instead of just releasing their own free drivers. Hope we can see things happening soon. [10:24] DanielRM: This mupen64 , is that made for ubuntu?? How can I get this? Also, how is it a pain to get to work? [10:24] why is Ubuntu saying that it is setting up a 16.1GB partition on a 15GB VM? [10:25] soo, i have decided to install xp on my machine and do that BEFORE i install ubuntu, but how do i delete ubuntu and at the same time install XP? [10:25] LaneLimited: http://www.fsckin.com/2007/09/05/what-do-you-do-when-your-girlfriend-wants-to-play-n64-games-on-linux/ should help. [10:25] kuahara: GiB vs GB maybe? [10:25] soo, i have decided to install xp on my machine and do that BEFORE i install ubuntu, but how do i delete ubuntu and at the same time install XP? should i just install xp on the partiton of ubuntu or what? [10:25] LaneLimited: I just found it something of a pain to setup the plugins. [10:25] does ubuntu mean GiB when it says GB? [10:25] Hi. I have a weird roblem with keyboard. Suddenly, I am aunable to enter any yext. I have even changed my physical laptop keyboard. [10:25] balle_: Do it during the XP installer... partition keeping in mind Ubuntu is going on there.

[10:26] DanielRM: Well thanks... i will check that out.... Im going to play some Zelda! [10:26] balle_ if you have an ext3 partition set aside for ubuntu, there is a good chance that the XP installer will jack that partition unless you already have the ntfs partition for XP set aside ahead of time [10:26] because it views ext3 as unallocated [10:27] LaneLimited: OK. :) See you, and hope you have a good time. [10:27] pa: behave [10:28] Bling [10:28] Can someone give me a heads up on where to start investigating no keyboard input possible? [10:28] kuahara: i do that, and i run ubuntu right now, and i can make the ntfs partiton with gparted, no problem. but i want to install xp FIRST then install ubuntu(because that is easier) so i have to delete ubuntu using the xp boot disc or what? [10:28] Obvioulsy I'm using another machine for this chat :) [10:28] fde: where's the fire? [10:28] balle_ what partition is ubuntu currently installed on [10:28] balle_: just erase your disk partition and start anew [10:28] haelen: Does it work in terminal? What kind of keyboard is it? [10:29] Myrtti: I thought he was going to continue trolling, I guess he got bored. [10:29] fde: will try terminal. [10:29] balle_: the xp installer can make partitions just set them up then on with a livecd before installing windows [10:29] fde: always try to manage the situation by yourself first [10:29] kuahara: ehm the / i think [10:29] fde: doesn't work in terminal. [10:29] fde: the floodbots take care of the flooding [10:29] erUSUL if his XP installer has to create a new part and he has an ext3 part already made, XP will jack it up [10:29] my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution [10:29] haelen: How did you get to terminal? [10:30] fde: It's a dell laptop. Have changed keyboard too. [10:30] it won't acknowledge that its there, it sees it as unallocated available space [10:30] Myrtti: yeah, apologies, just didn't think that was going to go well. [10:30] fde: clicked icon in task bar. [10:30] crdlb: Is there any packages for Hardy Heron with the bleeding edge drivers that will give some random support for DRI for my video card? [10:30] fde: np, just so you know the next time :-) [10:30] johey: I don't know of any, but there very well may be [10:30] haelen: I meant on ctrl+alt+f1 ... or booting to runlevel 1... but both will be sort of hard to do... [10:30] my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution [10:30] kuahara: the /dev/sda3 and xp will be installed on a deleted partition being named /dev/sda8 i think [10:31] what can i do [10:31] crdlb: Or do I need to build a custom kernel, and Xorg from source? [10:31] crdlb: Ok. [10:31] balle_ what partition type is your ubuntu installation sitting on [10:31] kuahara ahh the ext3 [10:31] fde: Yes it will be hard as I can't use keyboard. [10:32] how is it possible that proftpd syslogs is saying that there is no shell in /bin/bash? [10:32] kuahara and it is the native for this system atm. wiped the windows partition with the livecd and installed ubuntu on it [10:32] myrtti: you caN TRY TO INSTALL VISUAL KEYBOARD MAYBE --> gok [10:32] balle_ ok, if you use gparted and create the ntfs part now, you can install windows on it, then reinstall ubuntu if thats what you are wanting to do. If, however, you want the XP installer to create the ntfs part, then it might mess up your ext3 partition table [10:32] svein: whut? [10:32] my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution, what can i do? [10:32] hi ubuntu people [10:33] my 7.10 installed ubuntu isn't letting me update or change resolution, what can i do? [10:33] haelen: does the kbd work prior to booting? [10:33] myrtti: so you can type with your mouse [10:33] kuahara: yes, and i have read the guides to do this, but it seems simpler just to wipe out the ubuntu part and rebuild another one from scratch after i install xp. so can i just wipe the ubuntu installation with the xp boot disc or will that mess up the mbr? [10:34] svein: I've got no idea what/why you're telling me this [10:34] lic0m: Not sure how to try that. [10:34] my update manager isn't opening, what can i do [10:35] myrtti: ops wrong person maybe [10:35] balle_ you can delete ntfs partitions with the XP installer, thats fine. it will automatically view the ext3 part as unallocated. So if the ext3 is 100gb and the ntfs is 50gb, the XP installer will show you 50gb ntfs, 100gb unallocated and deleting the ntfs will give you 150gb to create a new ntfs part with [10:36] tobylane: pop a term window [10:36] haelen: You must have used the keyboard to login right? [10:36] how? [10:36] tobylane: type this; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; [10:36] you can then create a new ntfs part of any size, install windows, then load gparted, create a new ext3 part, and install ubuntu [10:36] sounds like what you want to do [10:36] was haelen i realy was talking to [10:37] sarmisak, where is the terminal [10:37] lic0m: Doh! You're right (I would have mad a good detective - not!) [10:37] tobylane: ALT+F2 > xterm [10:37] ty [10:37] kuahara: well, i want to swipe the ext3 but xp in there instead and have another ~10 gigs for the new ubuntu on a nother partition, but can i just use the xp installer to wipe the ext3 and the swap partition without ruining the mbr? [10:37] kuahara: but=put [10:38] sarmisak, it said i had nothing to do, but i don't have heron [10:38] haelen: try cnt+alt+F2 or something at login screen (I'm assuming gdm), or see if there's an option to login to a terminal. [10:38] balle_ xp will not acknowledge that the ext3 partition exists [10:39] lic0m: kk. brb [10:39] tobylane: what do you have? [10:39] pretty sure its 7.10 [10:39] sarmisak, installation disk says 5.10 [10:40] so if you have 50GB of ext3 part, you can go ahead and tell the XP installer to create a new 50GB ntfs part and format it. [10:40] so ill go read "updating from older versions" [10:40] it will never know that you had ubuntu there to begin with [10:40] kuahara: i thought so! so it seems i have to do the ubuntu+xp dual boot and not the other way around, or can i make ubuntu uninstall itself on reboot or something like that? [10:40] but still, my updater manager isn't working [10:40] or that it used to be ext3 before it changed it [10:40] Has anyone here tried setting up a wiimote as a mouse? [10:40] i have an odd problem that my hard drives from one boot to the next will swap positions on sda and sdb [10:41] balle, I installed xp first, then ubuntu [10:41] tobylane: try downloading a hardy heron ;) [10:41] My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error? [10:41] kuahara: better idea, what if i install xp, then it will automatically boot itself in there right? then i could use the live cd, to make a new ubuntu install on the ext3 partition right? [10:41] to be sure that xp wouldn't overwrite ubuntu if I did it the other way around [10:41] tobylane: believe me you won't get far with that disk [10:41] balle_ correct [10:41] sarmisak, i dont have a cd writer, can ubuntu update itself with the iso? [10:42] I always try to install my MS OS's first, then linux after [10:42] lic0m: Ah! I think I must have selected the wrong option for "Slow Keys" (I guess it should be "DEactivate). [10:42] simply because linux is more considerate of other OS's than microsoft is [10:42] kuahara: but do you think this: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm would be easier? [10:42] more, or at all :P [10:43] balle_ I haven't looked at that link yet, but I know that if you install windows first, then ubunt: ubuntu will automatically set the dual boot up for you [10:43] lic0m: Thanks for the help. I've learned something new :) [10:43] don't know how you can make it easier than that [10:43] is there any way to update from 5.10 to 8.04 without a cd writer or waiting for shipit? [10:43] tobylane: ok, did you try apt-get update & upgrade? [10:43] kuahara: well yea, and the ubuntu set up is not a long one.. i will give it a go! thank you for your time! [10:44] yeah, it got 0/0 [10:44] tobylane: yes, there is [10:44] tobylane: ok, now try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:44] it might give you a lift [10:45] still says 0's [10:45] balle_ ah, yes you can do what that site suggests, but you're taking 1 risk... if you use Gparted to make a part for windows, it might see the part as a different size than what gparted created. Thats happened to me a few times [10:45] hi. I'm mounting a xfs file system as my data partition. now I want all files created there to be owned by the group "files" and have the permissions rwxrwxr-x - how do I do it? [10:45] Myrtti, what do you suggest? [10:45] I managed to have the mall owned by the group by settings the sgid bit [10:45] balle_ but I had other partition issues going on at the time that may have caused that [10:46] tobylane: I guess you'd first have to start with upgrading to dapper somehow [10:46] but how can I give the group write access on new files per default? [10:46] tobylane: it shouldn't be impossible to do since dapper is still supported [10:47] Myrtti, by sudo apt-get [10:47] any wya to install gnome 2.22.1 for gutsy? [10:47] tobylane: I'd use aptitude, but YMMV [10:47] ok so I'm trying to get my two ntfs drives to mount at the same point each time I boot, but they keep changing their names, ie one will be sdb1 one boot and sdc1 the next, anyone know what the hell is going on? [10:47] tobylane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades [10:47] tobylane: follow this, it's the official upgrade [10:47] thanks [10:48] hi, i have just upgrded to hardy and my mouse is no longer functioning, how do i reconfigure the mouse? [10:49] is there a way to mark a process as completely and totally unimportant and allow it to be starved of resources if another process needs it? [10:49] is there a dpkg configure command i can run? [10:49] sarmisak, now update manager is working, it says its up to date [10:49] acegikm1: use UUIDs instead [10:49] !uuid | acegikm1 [10:49] acegikm1: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [10:49] its just a program thats stuck in a loop to cause 100% cpu [10:49] or how can i access the gnome menus without a mouse, ive been randomly hitting ctrl and alt keys without much luck [10:50] both partition on this computer are going wrong... [10:50] awesome, cheers [10:50] htaccess: dpkg-reconfigure gpm [10:50] tobylane: have you done the things mentioned in the link? [10:50] hi [10:50] lic0m: thanks ill try that [10:50] anything that i apt-get during my live cd session before install will be installed too right? [10:51] bXi: nope [10:51] salam [10:51] sarmisak i got to update manager by terminal, because by menu doesn't work, but that says im up to date [10:51] fhd: set an appropriate umask in the mount options [10:51] astro76: xfs has no umask option [10:52] lic0m: "Package `gpm' is not installed and no info is available." [10:53] htaccess: I would suggest installing it, apt-get install gpm [10:53] yes doing so [10:53] * spass is back (gone 08:16:09) [10:54] fhd: I don't believe it's filesystem dependent, your default umask is in /etc/profile, and you can specify a different one when you mount a partition [10:54] hi all I have this one htm file that when I click it the browser asks me to download it ...why would apache act that way..shouldnt it display the file ? [10:54] fhd: as long as it does linux file perms I thought [10:54] volume increase shortcut has gone into what seems to be an infinite loop with time delay on it [10:54] Any known bug fixes for it? [10:55] tes [10:55] loulouloulou, it depends on the client settings [10:55] astro76: now I get it, I was talking about the "umask" mount option :) [10:55] (which is only available for non-linux file systems apparently) [10:55] tobylane, I renamed it to .html and to php and it is stillthe same [10:55] tobylane, I am using firefox...anything Ican fix there [10:55] i have an odd problem with my 2 hard drives [10:55] and im sposed to know tha answer to these questions? lucky i memorised the sample rate for my mouse ... not [10:55] when i boot sometimes one is sda [10:55] fhd: ah right [10:56] but next time it will be sdb [10:56] i recently upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 through two cd's (went through 7.0 first, upgraded from the website, then installed 8.04).. i remember 7. didn't take my video card so i got this line of code that let me select it. (dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg) now when i put it in, i get this error (xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [10:56] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080510055555 [10:56] ) [10:56] so i cant update the fstab [10:56] is there not a more simple mouse reconfiguration utility?

The exact same cells seem hard to find (non standard size) so can i replace them with others that add up to the same voltage or something [12:06] Alright. zerodamge, press Alt-F1 and then Alt-F8 to see the boot process when it boots next and tell us what happens. [12:06] Ok [12:06] vegombrei:look for a snes emu,I am pretty sure they work though you may have to use wine [12:07] eniiii: borked is comp slang for messed up, fuck3d [12:07] Thanks Myrtti... renamed and gnome recreated. Lost some settings, but I'm back in and everything else, apart from preferences, seems fine. Thanks for the smart advice. :) [12:07] jack_spratt: i would back off that project, just buy a new battery, why risk explosion. [12:07] So I should activate the restricted drivers (to induce the error) and press those to combinations on boot? [12:07] vegombrei I searched the repositories and I only found a NES emulator.. [12:07] ArthurArchnix: you can try and move the stuff from the backup directory one by one to get some of the settings back [12:07] zsnes in wine could work though [12:07] wirechief-intel: explosion? new batteries complete with casing would cost me more than the laptop itself! [12:08] wirechief-intel, typo*... i see. well i kinda assumed that something was broken. Do you know any place where i should look to to have a good idea on whats happening ? im peroforming a distupgrade now, do you think it would somehow change the situation ? === doom_ is now known as DOOM_NX [12:08] negge:thats the name of it,couldnt remember...Im almost positive it will work [12:08] ArthurArchnix: actually, don't *move* but *copy* [12:08] Yeah... it' snot a big deal. 10 minutes to fix, not worth the risk of reintroducing the problem. 'preciate it though. [12:09] eniiii: what i would do is check the media. it has a selftest or you can use md5sum /dev/cdrom and compare the results with the correct md5 [12:09] Myrtti: ^^ [12:09] david__-- yeah it's such a simple program it simply should work [12:09] I had my broadcom wireless working before but since I did a dual boot I can't figure out how to get it to work. Can someone help? [12:09] wirechief-intel, grr i dont think i have the ubuntu CDrom, its been a while since i installed it..

[12:11] eniiii: well knowing you had bad media you should prepare yourself to reinstall. [12:11] wirechief-intel, but ive loged in correctly before. Its the first time it happens like this. [12:11] eniiii: weird errors are from corrupt files === tux is now known as tux-kecil [12:11] wirechief-intel, i see your point [12:12] david__--: thats great .. im new to linux could you also help me install it once uve checked it out ? [12:12] dmesg [12:12] maybe this isnt the right place to ask, but I need help configure my glassfish server on my ubuntu server.. i cant deploy any applications on it. [12:12] eniiii: some users who have bad media installs wont find out until they do a update. [12:12] vegombrei:sure :) give me a few minutes [12:12] boooo [12:12] eniiii: and then spend hours and days scratching their heads. better time spent reinstall right. [12:12] wirechief-intel, thanks a lot, and is there any other way to change user passwords from root, [command line] ? [12:12] wirechief-intel: whats the risk of explosion? [12:13] rm / / [12:13] ?

[12:13] jack_spratt: disimilar metals , refer to explosion of batterys from sony for example [12:14] hoggie: sounds like a problem with the module your trying to use. did you install it manually? [12:14] jack_spratt: no, i dont know what is it nor how to look at it [12:14] hoggie: jjust type dmesg in terminal, or tail dmseg instead (dmesg is a log) [12:14] Ciao [12:15] eniiii: yes just google for it, lots of examples out there on how to change password [12:15] no, im trying to use kino for downloading a vid from my camera, and i saw in kino that the raw1394 module isnt loaded so it cant use the camera.. [12:15] ahh [12:15] jack_spratt im gonna look at it now.. [12:15] cvd-pr, what is that you are trying to do? [12:16] wirechief-intel, well i --help'ed passwd but it looks like it changes the passwd of the account im currently logged in. but thanks for the info, ill google it now. and thanks for the time.. [12:16] jack_spratt: sounds like the cost of a battery would justify a new computer [12:16] david__--: thanks bro [12:16] eniiii: np and good luck with your reinstall [12:16] wirechief-intel: yup, this laptop cost me £50, the batterty is £65 cheapest ive seen [12:17] wirechief-intel, looks like that's the only solution you're giving me :\ [12:17] anyone know how to change the mac address of a network card on ubuntu? I'm logged into a wireless network with authentication based on mac address, but evry time i reboot my mac address changes [12:17] eniiii: well your welcome to spend more hours fighting it, but why? [12:17] hoggie: so the module is already installed default or was installed from repos (not manually)? [12:17] jack_spratt: im gonna flood a few lines into the channel.. from the dmesg.. [12:17] hoggie: dont [12:17] ohh [12:17] use a paste website [12:18] ? paste [12:18] wirechief-intel, to not loose some more time with all backup-ing [12:18] it was installed when i checked the repos [12:18] ye.. [12:18] hoggie use http://rafb.net/paste [12:19] eniiii: it is possible you have corrupted kde, you can sometimes get it back with mv .kde .kde-bak then do a reinstall from a terminal. [12:19] wirechief-intel, i use gnome :| [12:19] jack_spratt: now should i copy/paste it after i pasted it as c++? [12:20] vegombrei:Its actually simpler then i thought...what distro are you on? [12:20] or can u see it there? [12:20] Okay, I dont know what to tell you, but it just looks like a normal boot sequence, and then it goes blanck [12:20] eniiii: hehe ah your right, wrong box, i bounce back in forth between the two [12:20] hi everyone, i have been trying to update the packages i have installed but apt-get aswell as synaptic is giving me an error.

[12:23] What command would I use to recursively remove any directories called ".svn"? [12:23] blame: i would look at man grub (or the grub manual on the gnu site) [12:23] vegombrei: ok,go to http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2008/03/cool-desktop-applicationspart-2-25.html [12:23] jack_spratt: it wans't a ban... % before the name just stops them from talking [12:24] wirechief-intel, looks like nautilus is broken.. [12:24] vegombrei:read where it talks about enabling your repos and do that [12:24] once you do that then go to terminal and run sudo apt-get zsnes [12:24] genius: there's nothing in that paste... try pasting again? [12:24] sorry,sudo apt-get install zsnes [12:24] david__--: ok gimme a bit to read up on that im new to linux so it might take a while to understand [12:24] jack_spratt: dunno [12:24] Lardarse: so "FloodBot3 sets ban on %hoggie!*@*" isnt a ban? [12:25] wirechief-intel: thanks [12:25] jack_spratt: no... see freenode's website for more info [12:25] it says after pre-configuring packages interpretation error in file /varlib/dpkg/available on line 100 package `libbonoboui2-0' [12:25] eniiii: well you could just uninstall it and reinstall (maybe) [12:25] Lardarse: http://pastebin.com/m23828b4a [12:26] hey all, how would i find out where apache is residing on my local machine?

I would like to make PCMan my default file manager? I'm currently using Thunar file manager [12:29] ompaul, what are you say> [12:29] How can I open .rar files? [12:29] anybody have experience with usb 56k Modems? [12:29] Circuittsunam1: try asking in #xubuntu ? [12:29] Circuittsunam1, is it in the repos or do you need to install it [12:29] wirechief-intel, everythin that has to do with /home/eni [which is my homedir] looks like FREEZES. even if i type rm -rf /home/eni/[tab key] it freezes. nautilus froze when i wanted to surf into that dir.. [12:30] does anyone know if there exists an application for interior decoration for Gnome? [12:30] eniiii: sounds like you are already in the soup, i would download ubuntu and make a livecd and try a rescue [12:30] hi i want som help i dual boots vista and 8.04 but i had to reinstall vista so now i cant boot ubuntu [12:30] anars could you clarify please [12:30] eniiii: if you had the cd you could do that. [12:30] trixi_, you need to fix grub [12:30] need open .rar!! [12:30] Saint`Dia: sudo apt-get rar [12:30] varen: ok. [12:31] np [12:31] ok [12:31] Saint`Dia, actually unrar [12:31] im just going to download the latest .iso [12:31] eniiii: you will need it anyways for a new install. [12:31] im trying to watch video clips on youtube, but i am not getting any sound. why might this be? sound works fine in any other application and is not muted in the video player. [12:31] bazhang: I'd like an application which fits into Gnome nicely (GUI wise), which enables me to draw up, say, a room with measures, and put up walls, windows etc. to see how new or existing furniture can fit [12:31] whoops.. sorry Saint`Dia [12:31] wirechief-intel, ill do the backup from windows [12:31] wanderingii, known adobe bug [12:31] missed then un [12:31] anars, 3d stuff or not [12:31] eniiii: being without a cd would be like in a sinking ship without a life boat. [12:31] bazhang: not :-) [12:31] david__--: done ... [12:32] david__--: what next ? [12:32] ah no, so is there anything i can do to fix it? [12:32] wanderingii, you talkin to me? [12:32] david__--: hello ? [12:33] vegombrei:sudo apt-get install zsnes [12:33] bazhang, yes [12:34] so no-one setup a usb 56 modem in here before ? i realize the tech is like a bajillion years old but what can you do.. [12:34] wanderingii, perhaps installing libflashsupport will work, others ahve reported that turning off music players does it [12:34] varen your not likely to see much support for a usb modem ;( [12:34] varen someone may have but they might not be aroudn right now; best bet is to wait a bit and hit the forums in the meantime [12:34] david__--: done .. [12:35] david__--: [12:35] vegombrei, what you trying to do [12:35] when i switched to 8.04, kqemu module does not exist. can anyone proide me good links to install kqemu now (i don't see anything in synaptic for my kernel)? [12:35] wirechief-intel: yeah i thought as much.. polling the forums hasn't yielded much.. thinking that maybe getting eth for this friend will be a better setup.. [12:35] bazhang: there must be something like that around :-) it doesn't have to be advanced.. at all. [12:35] vegombrei: now go to applications,games and then it will be there [12:35] !dialup | varen [12:35] varen: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up [12:35] Anyony who had the same problem as I have, I have installed Ubuntu, and now I can't reinstall Xp on a nother partition, it say Can't find any harddisk In the XP installationprogram === izz is now known as izz2 [12:35] anars you want some type of drawing app? is that it? [12:36] tx ubottu [12:36] IdleOne: i'm on HSDPA, my friend needs the dialup :P [12:36] nikolaj, that is a problem with the xp disk; you need to intsall the drivers for that disk or check in bios to look for ide not sata [12:36] varen modems are of little use when downloads are like 100mb anymore [12:36] david__--: i ran it and nothing happened .. it didnt even show any error [12:37] hi [12:37] vegombrei:hmm...give it a second to see if it will run [12:37] wirechief-intel: you're right man. stupid South-Africa.. [12:37] hello all. Is it possible to create an account where compiz is not enabled? [12:37] :) [12:37] hi all. Changing the resolution by editing xorg.conf, it doesn't work in ubuntu, why? [12:37] Stormcr0w: yes [12:37] bazhang: im trying to play some nintendo games on ubuntu .. i saw a friend playing em and it seems like so much fun [12:37] maybe know someone how can i install drivers for my card radeon 9200 on ubuntu 8.04? [12:37] bazhang: well, no. a very simplified application which allows me to enter measurements of a room, then put in couches, chairs, tables etc. of custom measurements too. to get an idea how furniture would fit, if we were to re-decorate the apartment [12:37] Stormcr0w, sure just remove it [12:37] bazhang, so if I find it in bios, the it should start the installation? [12:38] david__--: nothing :( [12:38] varen no most distros are that way, except perhaps DSL [12:38] Stormcr0w: system -> appearance -> effects --> none ? [12:38] there's a ton of these for Windows, but that doesn't help me alot ;-) [12:38] vegombrei:do you have compiz-fusion running? [12:38] anars, you need roms for that-->not a province of this channel [12:38] anars: try dia [12:38] when i switched to 8.04, kqemu module does not exist. can anyone proide me good links to install kqemu now (i don't see anything in synaptic for my kernel)? [12:38] bazhang: I would like to use compiz with my main account, whereby I do lots of Desktop work, but I would like to create an account where it does not load at all, so that I can run 3d graphics games via wine [12:39] nikolaj, yeah but you should ask in ##windows chan [12:39] disabling the effects on one account will have no effects on another? [12:39] Stormcr0w: when in the session of that other user, fo to Appearances and set the effects to NONE. [12:39] stalker314314: trying it now! thanks for the hint [12:39] bazhang, Thanks. [12:39] babolat: ok, let me try that [12:39] stormcr0w:yep,works like a charm :) [12:40] Stormcr0w, best to turn it off then for yourself and turn it on again everytime you need it, or add it to *your* startup session (add commands section) [12:40] david__--: whats compiz-fusion ? [12:40] david__--: how do i run it ? [12:40] have to step away for a few [12:40] !compiz | vegombrei [12:40] vegombrei: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [12:41] vegombrei:dont worry about running it :) just wanted to make sure you didnt have it on [12:41] Whats the name of the compiz settings manager? [12:41] vegombrei:im not quite sure why zsnes isnt running for you though..hmmm... [12:41] bazhang, i installed that lib package do i just need to restart my browser or do i have to do anything else/ [12:41] david__--: well im new to unix dude .. donno anything man [12:41] smmagic: ccsm [12:41] It can't find the package o_o [12:42] david__--: does that package come with nintendo games or do i have to download em from somewhere [12:42] smmagic: in the Add/Remove, type in "compiz" (without the ") in the search filter textbox, then the manager should appear at the top. it has "ccsm" in parenthesis [12:43] vegombrei:you have to find your own games,called ROMS,you can find them by typing zsnes roms in google,they are everywhere...im trying to think why it wont start for you though [12:43] Im seriously tired of this restricted driver thing. And cant do anything, except use the nv drives. If i do use the restricted drivers, it just blanks the screen on boot, no errors, no logs, no terminal [12:44] mmk, thanks [12:44] * delcoyote hi [12:44] david__--: is there a way u can connect to my system and check it out ? [12:44] vegombrei:no,sorry [12:44] david__--: damn .. i thought with unix such kinda networking is possible [12:44] Does anyone have any ideas? [12:45] vegombrei:it is though i dont do it :) [12:46] david__--: when i run zsnes it opens a small window and then disappears [12:46] Why can't I have language-pack-en without openoffice.org?! [12:47] Do I need any language-pack if I just want English everywhere? [12:47] branstrom: how do u mean everywhere? [12:47] In the OS [12:47] Hi [12:48] and all apps [12:48] can I pass from ubuntu 7 to 8 without reinstalling the system? [12:48] gidna: sure [12:48] branstrom: if you have everything set by default, Ubuntu should be installed in English.. as to the apps you install, most of them come in English, right? But each may have separate language preference configs [12:48] vegombrei:hmmm...what are your graphics set to...go to system,preferences,appearance and then visual effects tab [12:49] How can I do that? [12:49] gidna: if it is 7.10 --> 8.04 yes; if yiou are on 7.04 you will have to do 7.04 → 7.10 → 8.04 [12:49] !upgrade | gidna [12:49] !alternate | gidna [12:49] gidna: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [12:49] gidna: hang on getting you a link [12:49] gidna: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [12:50] babolat: I tried to remove openoffice.org - but it seems a bunch of language-packs (that I may need?) are dependant on it, which sounds stupid to me [12:50] david__--: custom setting [12:50] I have Ubuntu 7.10 [12:50] - the Gutsy Gibbon - released in October 2007. [12:50] can i get some help with the printer setup on a network? [12:50] vegombrei:set them to extra [12:50] then try to run zsnes again [12:50] david__--: ok wait [12:51] Hello- new to IRC- looking for help getting audio out optical on mac mini using 8.04- can anyone help? [12:51] branstrom: because those language packs have been designed to translate/dictionary/thesaurus your documents to another language. It's not exactly an accessibility translation system for apps [12:51] david__--: it still wont run :( [12:52] gidna: if you have good and competent Internet connection, the Alternate CD installation should work for you. You may also do this by using Synaptic [12:52] !turk [12:52] Factoid turk not found [12:52] !turkish [12:52] Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [12:53] pk53 what printer brand and model are you trying to use ? [12:53] david__--: you think mebbe its because i have irssi open and it needs the terminal window to work ? [12:53] epson stylus cx3900. [12:53] vegombrei:no,that isnt the problem...run sudo apt-get update [12:53] babolat: what I think is weird is that I apparently can't uninstall openoffice.org, if I want to keep the locale of the system, so that everything works correctly... (Is this true? I'll reinstall OO.org if this indeed is the case...) [12:54] can i run a virtual xp that is already instaled in a partition in linux ussing a virtual software? [12:54] pk53 and you have tried the web interface localhost:631 ? [12:54] itworked on 7.04 but since i upgraded to 8.04 it doesn;t work [12:54] david__--: done .. [12:54] branstrom: i didnt quite catch what u meant by locale. do you mean your documents? [12:54] david__--: still wont run :( [12:55] pk53 well have you reinstalled on 8.04 ? === Nepomuceno is now known as luskaner [12:55] babolat: no... the language of the system itself [12:55] Maybe you're not the person I should be speaking to if you don't know what a locale is :) [12:55] wire i installed it thru samba [12:55] vegombrei:hmmm...ask bazhang when he steps back in,ive guided you as far as i can,sorry it wasnt to the end [12:55] :( [12:56] vegombrei:hes helped me quite a few times [12:56] but thanks for trying to clarify, I guess :) [12:56] branstrom: what language do you have Oo.o? and what language have you set for Ubuntu? [12:56] david__--: can i msg you privately .. i tried running it thru terminal and it game me an error i think you should see .. can i paste it in a private chat ? [12:56] sure [12:56] if you are still able to get this, gidna, a word of advice: a clean install may be the easiest and safest way to get to Hardy [12:57] pk53 ive only used localhost:631 for printer installs and it seems to be the most successful way for linux. [12:57] My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error? [12:57] babolat: I haven't changed anything - it's all in English. But I tried to remove OO.org and it then said it would remove language-packs too, which made me hesitate but I accepted it. Then it complained about not being able to set my locale correctly. [12:57] If I upgrade to 8.04 I will have 3 years of support or I will have the support consumed with the 7.10 ? [12:57] hi alll [12:58] can you help me? [12:58] gidna: three years [12:58] huoopp [12:58] david__--: did you see ? [12:58] my guys!!! [12:58] pardusss:please state what you need help with instead of asking if someone can help :) [12:58] david__--: :D [12:59] wire thanks i'll try it. should i remove the printer instalation and install it once again [12:59] ubuntu 8.4 turkish link? [12:59] david__--: you there ? [12:59] vegombrei:yes [12:59] branstrom: have you actually experienced a change in languages while using your Operating System? [12:59] david__--: did you see ? [13:00] david__--: did you know? [13:00] why have I to install 728 Mb? [13:00] anyone using an Intel Mac out there? [13:00] babolat: I'm not logged in graphically, so I don't know if there will be any problem [13:01] pk53 well its mucked up.i would try to see if there are some instructions from your vendors site for linux and decide but if there is none. just do a reinstall [13:01] you guys have a paste it link ?

[13:08] babolat: did you just discipline zerodamge for saying the "S" word ?? [13:08] lol [13:08] but the wubi install isnt a full proper install is it? [13:08] anyone? [13:09] helowo: because distributing loads to several servers would ultimately ease them [13:09] zetheroo: nvidia hardware, i'd look in nvidia-settings [13:09] vegombrei: yes i did [13:09] Mickinator: appears it is a proper install , with supposedly inferior HDD performance but so far the hdd performance are very fast [13:09] helowo: ATI [13:09] babolat: oh, lol.. i thought that was in relation to zerodamge [13:09] babolat: but its a dictionary word .. [13:10] Ah, I don't recall off hand then zetheroo. someone else here might, i have nvidia hardware mostly :) [13:10] yes, but first of all, i dont know how to use that, and i cant use the gui of it, becouse it wants the drivers to be there (and i cant boot with them installed) [13:10] vegombrei: a dictionary word that was used for something other than its dictionary meaning [13:10] nah im not too sure about that, its all run from one file afaik! [13:10] zerodamge: can you boot into the console? ie recovery mode option from the grub boot menu? [13:11] I im ubuntu now, i can boot the console, use recovery, whatever i want [13:11] Mickinator: yes , wubi creates a virtual partition in a big file , its like vmware but much better performance [13:11] if you can, i might try running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [13:11] so its not a proper installl lol [13:11] babolat: but i see you guys using the word mount every now and then .. now that accordint to the dictionary could also mean the "F" word innit [13:11] it works, as long as i dont install the restricted drivers [13:11] Hi, suddently, the user names in the GDM face browser are missing. Any advice how to fix it? Thanks! [13:11] Mickinator: it works just like a proper one [13:11] Beastage: there may be several limitations to Wubi, since it was after all designed to ease transitions/migrations from Windows.

I get a popup message stating "Unable to mount the volume", although I can mount it by hand (sudo mount) if I want to. Funny thing is this worked when I first did the install two days ago and it works in the LiveCD. I figure a config file got messed up somewhere but I can't figure out which one. [13:16] Yes, the older ones, but they bring up the config dialog, where you selected monitors and stuff, but it dosent function. The resolution is 800x600 max [13:16] @erider I am getting problems installing it [13:16] DW is it always plugged in? [13:16] i get initramfs [13:16] wired i'm here thru google [13:16] Mickinator: no, it's the automount that fails when I plug it in [13:17] hmm, not to sure then zero, ive ati myself which is a pain in the rocks [13:17] lol, speak of the devil [13:17] konversation just segfaulted [13:17] lol [13:17] does b43 driver supports injection? [13:17] yeah, my #1 goal purchasing the 2nd hand laptop i have now was "Must not have ATI graphx" [13:17] I went through too many nightmares in the past [13:17] might it be caused by wrong monitor setup, like it jumping to my HDMI output? [13:17] wired can u show me how to do it? [13:18] ranveer, I just want to know if there is an advantage to upgrade now or should I wait [13:18] DWStrauss hmm, if you were to plug it in before you booted, like when you knew you were gonna be usin it, you could add your mount command to /etc/rc.local [13:18] @zero, i might be missing something but I don't see how that's related, no [13:18] Lardarse: the error i'm having can be found in here: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1dd84267 [13:18] wait unitl you cant run the latest software, then why to upgade/ [13:18] Just a thought [13:18] Mick: I suppose so but I don't always know [13:18] that doesnt fix it, but it keep ya tickin over for the mo [13:18] if you suspect it's hookup related, definitely rule that out though [13:19] Hello everybody. Is someone there who can help me with konqueror/dolphin and hidden files? [13:19] @erider can't help you on this, I heard its very good. but its giving me hard time installing [13:19] hello all [13:19] I only have my CRT connected :P === spacemoo1e is now known as spacemoose [13:19] ranveer, the only thing that I see that I may like is firefox3 [13:19] DWStrauss: well, if you did and you plugged it in, randomly like, w/o knowing when you were going to, just ctrl+alt+backspace logoff, and /etc/rc.local is run everytime you do that [13:20] erider, you can anyways install firefox 3b5 [13:20] its out already === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [13:20] Mick: yeah, but I might just as well run sudo mount when I need it [13:20] true lol [13:20] is there anyone who knows everything about DMRAID? [13:20] it is a solution though [13:20] lol [13:20] hey let me ask, is it possible to update the distro from 5.10 directly to 8.04 with the update manager? [13:20] Mick: it's annoying though. It used to work. [13:21] a little help is needed [13:21] anybody know where the config information for usb automounting is kept? [13:21] I get a weird error when I do a apt-get remove --purge *xen* [13:21] E: Couldn't find package libxen3.1_3.1.0-0ubuntu19_amd64.deb [13:21] which seems to be installed [13:21] what else will 8.04 offer [13:21] is possible to install vmware in 8.04? [13:22] Ineed to works with virtualization [13:22] S4nD3r, yes, but very hard to do [13:22] umm [13:22] umm is right [13:22] what do you recommend MatBoy [13:22] S4nD3r, debian for vmware [13:22] damn, why is it so difficult to remove xen :S [13:22] MatBoy, why is it hard? [13:23] what command do you run to install the nvidia drivers [13:23] what about virtualization in ubuntu? [13:23] Is it possible to hide files and folders without having to rename them? [13:23] I know that Edgy used to do that. [13:23] please someone help me with the installtion. I am using hardy amd64 and it comes to initramfs console everytime i try to install? [13:23] is there something? [13:23] and it is possible for me to set up my screen in terminal, using nvidia-settings? [13:23] where are high scores for mines stored ?? === theseus is now known as rogeronrails [13:25] Matiee: if a file or folder has a filename that starts with "." then it's hidden [13:25] ranveer have you done a media check ?

[13:27] Matiee: I don't remember that [13:27] ranveer it keeps some things from affecting your bootup, google it if you want more information [13:27] how can dpkg say that packages are installed and apt-get can't remove them because they are not installed ?

Obrigado. [13:28] gordonjcp: It's still possible in Hardy if you are using Gnome: simply create a text file named .hidden and list inside all the files and folders that you want to hide [13:28] Matiee: ah, clever [13:28] gordonjcp: I think it is, indeed. [13:28] Matiee: you see, you can be in your second decade of using Linux and *still* learn new stuff every day [13:29] I'm having problems with my: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) - it's not detecting my wireless router.

[13:31] craigp84, I can, first I will read the topic :) [13:32] Hello i have a problem with running blender on dual head setup it does not startup it is the same with paraview but when i unplug the second monitor it works as usual,. I also have uninstalled compiz because i knew from my old Gutsy setup that it would not work with that enabled.

[13:33] and I can't get past the initial scroll bar [13:33] BFCPP you might want to read up on xrandr google for wiki xrandr might help you. [13:33] i had a problem with hardy detecting my fx5500 nvidia vga card. after installing the restricted driver, resolution went down to 640x480. so i loaded gutsy live cd and copied xorg.conf file to hardy, restarted x server and it worked. but the problem is that everytime i reboot my pc, the resolution goes down back to low and i need to restart the x server before logging in [13:33] i have an image file, i have a usb, i want to put the image on as the whole filesystem, is there an easy way to do this? without fo [13:33] craigp84, http://pastebin.ca/1013676 [13:33] ok so you had such a similar problem ? [13:33] I can't try the text only install since i don't have the alternate iso [13:33] it is maybe because of the new X7.3 server right === andatche_ is now known as andatche [13:34] linuxPrincess: you may be connecting to a misbehaving or heavily loaded server. the alternate cd iso is available via bittorrent. [13:35] craigp84, it's weird if you ask me, a aptget remove --purge *xen* does also not work [13:35] what drivers does ubuntu exactly load when it shows "Loading essential drivers..." ? it seems that one of these takes too long [13:35] Hi everybody........ [13:35] anyone hereeeeeee? [13:35] babolat: actually I haven't tried installing using the text mode [13:35] wirechief-intel what does xrandr to do with that ?

[13:40] hi folks [13:40] linuxPrincess: scroll bar? do u mean the horizontal bar that's supposed to fill up with orange? [13:40] craigp84, I typed that below my paste,so I didn't paste that part ;) is what I ment [13:40] MatBoy, no worries [13:40] iu haven't faced this prblem is there any ways I can boot in diagnostic mode to get at least the problematic modules [13:40] babolat: yes [13:40] wirechief-intel, i tried that before an idea of using the gutsy xorg.conf configuration. i tried several things and made over 3 hardy installs. one of my tries was using the guide you suggested. but it didn't help. i reinstalled hardy and tried to compile nvidia drivers, it worked but i didn't like the kernel recompile thing. so i also reinstalled hardy to try using gutsy's xorg file and it worked but with the problem that i stated [13:41] Anyone an idea how to debug a not-working suspend (standby) after upgrade to hardy? machines goes asleep, but does not wake up [13:41] hello gnomefreak [13:42] ok first of all thank you for the xrandr tip it maybe solves some secondary problems :-) [13:42] craigp84, can I remove /var/lib/xend ? === andatche_ is now known as andatche [13:42] linuxPrincess: can you confirm that you do not have bad burn LiveCD?

[13:44] babolat: yes [13:44] linuxPrincess: try booting into LiveCD in debugging mode [13:45] MatBoy, yeah, but do it through the package manager, don't just rm it [13:45] babolat: how ? [13:45] compengi well i dunno, i have a ati 1300, the proprietary drivers used fail miserably too, i use my kanotix xorg.conf and then the install-fglrx-debian.sh script and it works, there is similar scripts for nvidia but you would need a xorg.conf from kanotix ;) [13:45] wirechief-intel i maybe have to go to a special X thread because following the tutorial this xrandr could be the real problem [13:45] linuxPrincess: please read http://grumpymole.blogspot.com/2007/...arameters.html [13:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/install...oot-parms.html [13:46] linuxPrincess: you may try these separately or in combinations [13:46] does anyone know how to get S-video out to work with an ATI card? [13:46] BFCPP i understand, it has its technical moments but some things are easy line xrandr -s 1024x768 sets resolution [13:47] yes but it not a problem of the screen resolution [13:47] BFCPP thats xrandr -s 1024x768 [13:47] i am using the old xorg.conf which deals well with the resolution [13:47] ok [13:48] junaid, you should have used apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop instead of apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades/Kubuntu for more details [13:48] its just when i plug in the external monitor blender will not start up [13:48] BFCPP just thought there might be something in there for your situation in that wiki [13:48] but firefox office apps [13:48] alll work on the external monitor [13:49] and paraview is a similar problem [13:49] anyone? [13:49] BFCPP if xrandr is working it should do what you need if i understand its purpose correctly. [13:49] it starts up and than i cannot use the gui [13:49] both are using a python lib for opengl i think [13:49] How do change the preference so that gxine starts when a DVD is inserted rather than totem? [13:49] Solved the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/64012 [13:49] Launchpad bug 64012 in dpkg "Bogus chars in "available" file after upgrade" [Medium,Invalid] [13:49] Thanks anyway. [13:49] so it must be a combination of old libs which cannot deal with the new x configuration [13:51] sure i can change the resolution with xrandr but hey i had gutsy on that system before and it worked well with the same configuration and resolution [13:51] BFCPP possibly, i havent tried a dual monitor configuration (i have one available) but also are you using dvi cables for this ? [13:51] !mythtv [13:51] MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [13:51] no dvi [13:51] !myth [13:51] Factoid myth not found [13:51] it is a dvi to vga adapter i am using [13:52] ciro, also see the #mythbuntu channel.

I highly reccomend using DVI if you can [13:53] im looking for a dock solution.. should i go for AWN or cairo-dock?

[14:07] k [14:07] as you see i upgraded from gutsy to hardy and i would like to use swear words [14:07] ok [14:07] hello, i was about to fresh install 8.04 and was wondering if i should get 64bit AMD architecture or the standard. i heard that the 64bit AMD is terrible as no one writes code for it [14:07] how can I configure my sierra aircard 850 on my xubuntu? [14:07] BFCPP, thats what i said when i upgraded to gutsy :) [14:07] any one good with freebsd having trouble installing it on a computer i found [14:07] radeon 9550, and enabled ati accelerated grapics driver to the special effects [14:07] f190 there are lots of rumors to that affect [14:07] ShipeR, i am using x64 and everything is working [14:08] is the fglrx driver in Hardy able to use xrandr? [14:08] ShipeR, i think 32bit apps work on x64 anyway [14:08] its not that noone writes code for it, people do, its just cause theres not many people using it, and becuse there arent many using it, there arent as many people writing for it as the are for 32bit [14:08] kripz, that doesn't work well on me... i tried the AC850 article in ubuntu and that didn't work [14:08] man, I need to stop and MD and make it LVM instead of EXT3, that's odd to do ! [14:08] I just instaled AMD 64bit 8.04 and everything works perfectly, wireless, java, flash, 3d acceleration, everything [14:08] ok, here is my proble,. how do set up dual view where I can move the window between the two screens, but when I maximize a window or go full screen it just does that on 1 display? [14:08] ah sweet [14:08] straight out of the box [14:08] james i had the same experience, nice [14:08] eyemean well i have a ati1300 but use fglrx and the fglrx works with nexuiz [14:08] With the default hardy, the window shadows are an ugly pink. Is this a common thing? [14:09] How do i check what driver my video card is currently using?? [14:09] kripz i post my problem again: problem with running blender on dual head setup it does not startup it is the same with paraview but when i unplug the second monitor it works as usual,. I also have uninstalled compiz because i knew from my old Gutsy setup that it would not work with that enabled. [14:09] BFCPP, yeah i saw that and im unable to help, sorry [14:09] kripz -- lspci is a good start [14:09] eyemean also the www.phoronix.com forum has lots of information on issues and solutions for 3d [14:09] ahh actually I did have one issue, SMB shares are an issue due to a bug they are working to fix but until resolved just dissable SMB passwords on Windows shares you want to mount from Ubuntu and it's fine :-) [14:10] i hope it fixes the problems i am having with gutsy for the standard release, it doesnt properly use the processors for the dual cores [14:10] The shadow colour in compiz is set to 0,0,0 but it's appearing as pink [14:10] f190 how can you tell? [14:10] are there any dual core support programs I can add to x64 or something [14:10] anyone? [14:10] laterz guys :-) [14:10] dragon1964, what does unclaimed mean? [14:10] well, it randomly freezes, and I notice that one of the processors is never used beyond like 20 percent [14:11] whole the other goes up to 100 [14:11] wow that sucks [14:11] cheers wirechief-intel [14:11] kripz, it gives me the (ac850 access denied) error whenever i use (pon ac850) ... any help? [14:12] if i was to get a nvidea graphics card would it be easier to enable dual screen? [14:12] Chillance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684278 [14:12] if you using nvidia [14:12] BFCPP i should of mentioned that the www.phoronix.com forum might have some help if you post there. [14:12] alternate install cd is the same thing, just without livecd, correct? === vincent_ is now known as Solo [14:13] is it true that when using linux your processor is never full in use just a % [14:13] ShipeR, theres a few threads regarding that issue on the ubuntu forums, should check it out, i cant offer much help [14:13] kripz, i tried most of'em but nothin' worked... if you can point me to one of'em it'll be a great help [14:13] gyver: Processor usage can always be measured in percentage in both linux and inwodws?

[14:22] I'm having a problem where the system loads the wrong nvidia.ko when I boot, but a rmmod nvidia && modprobe nvidia solves it. [14:22] is anybody familiar with marvell yukon Ethernet card problems? [14:22] I'm guessing it's because the one nvidia.ko is in 'volatile' and linked onboot? [14:23] dimor, I had lots of issues with the yukon chipset in my desktop machine. I put in a different network card. [14:23] dimor, dmesg had all kinds of warnings, and problems reported about that thing. [14:23] damn [14:23] :( === davide is now known as sidelil [14:23] anyone have played with LTSP? Quick question, ubuntu doesn't have an /etc/inittab but LTSP expects one. What's the workaround?

Every dropdown menu is like half the screen. Is it possible to "change it" with staying on that resolution? [14:24] !ltsp [14:24] LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project [14:24] does anyone know a good stream recording prog for feisty [14:24] i guess i'll just have to buy another card [14:24] Chillance try nvidia-xconfig -a –twinview [14:24] dimor, yep. thats what it does... others have issues with the cards working at all. I would get ok connection for a while then about every 10 min. it would hang for a min+ then reset. and work for a while more [14:24] what card did you get? [14:25] dimor, really hurt my torrent and ircing., [14:25] dimor, i just grabbed a GB network card from the box-o-parts i had in the basement. :) [14:25] yea i know [14:25] haha [14:25] i just tried 3 old Intel ones [14:25] none of them worked [14:25] :( [14:25] If i had realized that yukon wasent a gb nic to begin with.. i would of replaced it ages ago. [14:25] dimor, thats odd.. intel shouldbe very well supported [14:26] they are like 5-6 years old [14:26] shouldent really matter. [14:26] one wasn't even recognized [14:26] im trying to split up 10 gigs of pictures onto dvd's IS there anyway to just drag and drop all the files and it will ask me for a disk [14:26] i had problem with those on my old win comps [14:26] hi in hardy latest [14:26] You might want to disable the onboard card in the bios. Plug in ALl the intel cards and see if any work. :) make a router! [14:26] mm [14:27] i installed vim and when i open a file with autowrite set or not it hangs for few secs [14:27] why is that ? [14:27] does it matter? [14:27] looks like it writes to disk [14:27] especially in big files [14:27] gonna go install, thanks guys [14:27] dimor, ive never had any issues with any NIC - untill this darn yukon card.. and actually i only noticed the problem with it Under Hardy. [14:27] does anyone know a stream recording program [14:27] it did recognize one of them but the card just wouldn't get any connectivity... it had the same problem with it in the old comp [14:27] :\ [14:27] !find streamripper [14:27] Found: kstreamripper, streamripper [14:28] yea i got Hardy [14:28] niklaus: happens to me if SESSION_MANAGER is set wrong. Try 'unset SESSION_MANAGER' to see if you're experiencing the same [14:28] maybe a kernel update will solve it? [14:28] jrib, how do we unset SESSION_MANAGER [14:28] My right-hand Tracker pane lists several search results. Double-klicking on the /home/detlef/gnome/nautilus-2.22.2/NEWS entry opens gedit and shows the contents of this file. But double-clicking on the search result entry /home/detlef/tmp/irssi-2007-12-01 will not open any program. How can I troubleshoot this error? [14:28] gnome-terminal -e "cd ~" causes an error, this is a bug? [14:28] dimor, yep - but from what i googled the kernel in hardy was supposed to have fixed the problem... :( [14:28] niklaus: unset SESSION_MANAGER [14:28] does anyone know if there exists a software that enables you to tune your monitor performance? [14:29] http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SKY2.html [14:29] jrib, what i meant was globally by default [14:29] Jafet, try just 'cd' that goes to your home dir by default. [14:29] Linux Kernel, version 2.6.25-rc1 [14:29] niklaus: see if it fixes the issue first [14:29] How to change default starting option in Grub ? [14:29] my current version is 2.6.24-16-generic [14:29] jrib, nope it doesn't fix [14:29] niklaus: then never mind :) [14:30] jrib, i have a file around 300 lines when i scroll through comment some parts etc it pauses [14:30] niklaus: #vim might be able to tell you where to look better [14:30] I think update-grub as sudo [14:30] is ther a program that will let me just drop 10 gigs of files and it splits it all up into dvd's without me having to split them myself? [14:30] Vikketorr, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [14:30] hey all, got something weird here. I woke up this morning and went to log on and my face browser is gone from gdm. I can't find anything on gogle, so I am thinking that I am using the wrong terms maybe. anyone ever hear of this? [14:30] Dr_willis, that causes an error as well. [14:31] but theres also /boot/grub/ where its config files are so you can set orders etc [14:31] Jafet, perhaps state what you are trying to do.. and the channel will tell you the proper way to do it. [14:31] Vikketorr, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the "default" option, probably. [14:31] okey thanks [14:31] is ther a program that will let me just drop 10 gigs of files and it splits it all up into dvd's without me having to split them myself? i dont care if i have to pay a million dollars for it. what is it called? [14:31] Dr_willis, but if it causes an error, surely something is wrong anyway... [14:32] Anyway, I'm trying to add a panel launcher that cds to some directory and runs some command. [14:32] Jafet, i dident even realize gnome-terminal supported the -e option like xterm does. [14:32] It claims to... [14:32] It also claims to support --working-directory which also fails. [14:32] Dr_willis: is it possible to update only the sky2 driver? [14:32] gnome-terminal --help [14:32] it does suppot it [14:32] How to change panel text to white? [14:32] not the entire kernel... [14:33] there was a proof of concept that used it - the invisible terminal [14:33] will nero for linux auto cue up dvds to put in once i drop my 19 gigs of pictures into the folder? [14:33] used devilspie and gnome-terminal -e cmatrix [14:33] is ther a program that will let me just drop 10 gigs of files and it splits it all up into dvd's without me having to split them myself? i dont care if i have to pay a million dollars for it. what is it called? [14:33] dimor, no idea. I stopped looking into it - when i realized it wasent a Gigabit NIC :) Id been updating my whole lan to GB speeds. and this was the last machine that i hadent relized was not GB . [14:33] ah [14:33] :\ [14:33] Jafet: I imagine it is because cd is a shell built-in [14:33] i guess i should just get a diff card [14:33] jrib, good answer! [14:33] jrib, but it is still a valid "command" is it not? [14:33] i have the latest version of ubuntu [14:34] jake2point0: working directory works fine here by the way [14:34] Jafet: working directory works fine here by the way [14:34] ok thanks for the help. ill go back to windows i guess and use Poweriso [14:34] jake2point0, i dont even think nero for iwndows supports that.. [14:34] jrib, and for the record --working-directory doesn't work either. [14:34] This is on the default Hardy. [14:35] Jafet: try: gnome-terminal --working-directory=/home [14:35] anyone know ircii? [14:35] How to change panel text to white? (I cant see date/time) [14:35] That one works, jrib. [14:35] Jafet: so what isn't working? [14:35] yoda2031, this isn't #ircii, please ask in #ircii. [14:35] anyone at all know about the gdm problem? [14:35] yo [14:36] do you guys ever manipulate the modelines in xorg.conf? [14:36] how do i open a udp port using firestarter? [14:37] i'd like to tune my monitor old-school style [14:37] bonjour [14:37] jrib, many things, for example gnome-terminal --working-directory="~/arbitrarydirectory" [14:37] never had to mr_boo [14:37] Jafet: don't use ~, give the actual path [14:37] mr_boo, you could trash X, but sure, the good ol' unix way. [14:37] How do i set the driver xorg uses? [14:38] edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [14:38] gnome-terminal --working-directory="/home/jafet/arbitrarydirectory" now sets my home directory to ~. [14:38] i like when i can adjust my frequencies continiously [14:38] under second device then driver [14:38] tune in the performance of the monitor [14:38] i know my monitor can do better than edid reports [14:38] hey guys, for some reason, I can't have Rhythmbox open playing a file and then go to play something on Youtube.

[14:40] * Jafet tries to reproduce a few [14:40] kripz at the top of the xorg.conf file there is a command that will allow you to select the intel driver through the gui [14:40] Jafet: erm never mind, I made a typo.

I had this prob with Gutsy too, I had solved it with nspluginwrapper but now it's back. Can anybody help? [14:42] hi everyone, does anyone know how to load jpg textures to opengl? [14:42] that should allow you to make sure its configured properly, [14:42] dragon, i have run that but there is not options regarding video, only keyboard, here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4 [14:42] This channel isn't really a good choice for asking that type of question. [14:42] or a channel that talks about opengl [14:42] if you have x64 its possible that the intel driver did not have a module for x64 [14:43] BadChoice: you should try ##opengl [14:43] gamedev.net [14:43] thanks jrib [14:43] my system is all crazy!!! starts up with the kubuntu screen, login prompt with the xubuntu screen, and fires up the desktop with ubuntu, wtf!?

[14:45] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [14:45] drop the -phigh [14:45] tufftuff best thing to do it customize it from your system->prefrences and system->Administrator->login screen [14:45] hey guys, for some reason, I can't have Rhythmbox open playing a file and then go to play something on Youtube.

[14:53] codecaine: i followed the guide you linked, now FF3 asks for a plugin, but when i try to install adobe flash player it says it's already installed [14:53] gidna: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [14:53] ei lorenzo [14:53] did you unistall it first? [14:54] why? [14:54] Anyone knowledgeable in setting up eth1? [14:54] what linux your using? [14:54] gidna: uhh... because it supports wmv ? [14:54] kishnik-moddy-em: i'm on hardy 64 [14:54] gidna: gstreamer is the multimedia backend used by totem. [14:54] codecaine: yeah [14:54] i did purge [14:54] h [14:55] check synaptics and see if you have othere flash players install by typing flash for the search [14:55] I have upgraded to 8.10.. first I've ever seen this files.. [14:55] unistall all of them [14:55] is anyone here by any stragne chance using hardy with an intel i810 or 815? [14:55] then reinstall alsh [14:55] flash [14:55] codecaine: ok i'll try this, thanks [14:55] gidna: if you don't want to play that movie, don't install what I told you. [14:55] np [14:56] why can't I open it with mplayer? [14:56] i just did it a moment ago... i tried to search for 'swf' at synaptic package manager and uninstall everything then i intsall 'swfdec-mozilla' and swfmill only [14:56] gidna: install VLC, everything will play [14:56] gidna: because you don't have either ffmpeg or w32codecs installed. [14:56] I suppose *sh was asked to set a working directory which it didn't understand or couldn't find which caused it to crash and caused gnome-terminal to report a generic error and halt in a useless state. By Ubuntu standards, this isn't a bug. [14:56] I use flash-nonfree plugin [14:56] s/crash/abort/ [14:56] kripz: vlc is just a frontend for ffmpeg and libdvdcss [14:56] codecaine: do i have to uninstalle ubuntu restricted extras? [14:56] i'd like to calculate my monthly bandwidth usage, how could I best do this? [14:57] I don't think so [14:57] codecaine: ok [14:57] fde: imo its user friendly, one install and everything works rather than downloading codecs and what not for every format [14:57] any reason why firefox doesn't launch when i click the button? [14:57] apt-get install streamer0.10-ffmpeg [14:57] in 8.10? [14:57] can anyone help me bout 'configure wine'-dpi set to default??? [14:57] E: Couldn't find package streamer0.10-ffmpeg [14:58] tufftuff, it might have, erm, encountered a problem while trying to start up. [14:58] gidna: gstreamer [14:58] tufftuff, try open a terminal and run firefox. [14:58] i guess 8.10 isn't that great? i got more things broken then fixed. [14:58] Can anyone help me please? I'm having some strange issues with my sound. Here is the scenario: I can launch firefox, go to youtube and play a video, if I try and launch say Rhythmbox at the same time, Rhythmbox no longer plays music. The reverse of this is also true. Furthermore, if I open World of Warcraft in Wine, and try and play songs in Rhythmbox it no longer works. Each of these things sound work fine individually but don't work [14:58] when something else is playing. (this used to work in older versions of Ubuntu) [14:58] E: Couldn't find package gstreamer [14:58] hey. anyone know of a program to batch conver mp4 files to mp3? help would be much appreciated [14:58] 8.10? [14:58] kripz: It's an ugly interface imo... I'd rather just choose a better player, and have the same codecs. [14:58] tufftuff: 8.10? That isn't released until october [14:58] gidna: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg ... copy and paste [14:58] Heh, 8.10. [14:59] hardy heron or whatever. [14:59] 8.01? [14:59] jrib: technically Intrepid has been opened, so it exists. [14:59] tufftuff: 8.04 (2008 april) [14:59] Hi all [14:59] 8. somthing, uname -a doesn't print anything, [14:59] What is this screenlet that has these monitors (on the right edge of the screen) - http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/80452-1.jpg [14:59] does anyone know anything about weird keyboard problems in Hardy with PS/2 keyboards? [14:59] fde: 8.10 does not exist until october. In any case I said "released" :) [14:59] 5Q0;5~6=~-~ [14:59] Trae, there is some command that will show the locked status of a file, you could try that on /dev/dsp... [14:59] Say, I just had a weird little surprising issue [14:59] anyone using 'configure wine' here?? [14:59] bah, like that ;-) - [15:00] !version | tufftuff [15:00] tufftuff: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [15:00] codecaine: it seems to work now, tanks! have a nice day [15:00] Thing is I can't remember what command that is. [15:00] haha, lsb_version, [15:00] anyone know of a quick way to batch convert mp4 to mp3? [15:00] anyone using 'configure wine' here?? <--pm me please [15:00] Jafet, I mean fuser -k /dev/dsp will unlock it, sure, but... I've never had a problem with sound locking on other apps before... it's only Ubuntu 8.04 that is doing this. [15:00] anytime man have a good one [15:00] kishnik-moddy-em: Don't repeat the same question so fast... also try #winehq [15:00] !anyone | kishnik-moddy-em [15:01] kishnik-moddy-em: 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? [15:01] Trae, hmm, so you've confirmed that it's being locked? [15:01] sorry... [15:01] does anyone know if there exists a software these days that enables you to tune your monitor frequencies? [15:01] Jafet, oh... good question lol [15:01] tufftuff, does firefox run then? [15:01] I am running Feisty. Left the machine, went to do something, came back, and my screen was black, same way it is when on powersaving mode, and it would not respond [15:01] where do i find the intel x64 drivers? they dont appear in synaptic [15:01] apt-get install firefox finishes in under 1 second, saying it's completed installation, and firefox & prints off can't find mozilla directory, [15:01] Had to powercycle [15:01] Jafet, I can't say but you'd think it must be locking the device because nothing else can play until it's released. [15:01] all is fine now, had never happened before [15:01] kripz: they're built into DRI and have xserver-xorg-driver-intel [15:02] mrh, is it configured to go into some sort of suspend mode after you leave it? Could be a driver issue. [15:02] tufftuff, hrm. [15:02] Jafet: no [15:02] tufftuff, you might try sudo apt-get reinstall firefox. === pardus_ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [15:02] i remember my first graphics card in the mid nineties [15:02] Will somebody please help me install the jave jre for x64 that I have dowbloaded? [15:02] Jafet, i have, same result, finishes installation nearly the instant i push enter. [15:02] it was an ati card with 2mb graphics memory [15:02] Jafet, been running with next to no issues for the better part of a year now [15:02] isa bus [15:02] Jafet, my computer is fast, but, i can't imagine that fast. [15:03] Trae, could be many other subtle things, race conditions etc. I'm not familiar with devices and daemons though. [15:03] Jafet, nor I [15:03] tufftuff: pastebin the complete output you get from 'firefox' [15:03] it had an advanced tuning feature where you could adjust the frequencies with the arrow keys in order to obtain best performance of your crt monitor [15:03] jrib, dont need a pastebin, it's litterly 1 line [15:03] [1] 8841 [15:03] jason@anywhere:~$ Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting. [15:03] Jafet, I also run diagnostics on my hardware often, all is well on that front [15:03] now why the hell haven't i seen such a feature since the mid nineties? [15:03] Jafet, my guess is some Ubuntu developer got bored and was like... "Hey this is working let's see what we can do to 'fix it'" [15:04] I am simply wondering what is was [15:04] Had never happened before [15:04] kripz: Because Intel actually play nice with Linux, you don't have to install anything to get it working, you only have to worry if you use ATI/Nvidia/Creative hardware. [15:04] jlc, try to install it, break your system nearly irreparably, then cry here and we'll help you restore your system; remember to be polite throughout the process because after all this you now cannot uninstall Java without expert help. [15:04] #python-br [15:04] * tufftuff shakes his head, wondering why he went ahead and pushed the update button?!?! [15:04] jlc, the repositories don't have an x64 JRE? [15:05] tufftuff, you could try pushing it once again... [15:05] How to start Mini-Commander? [15:05] Jafet, i won't let me ,says i ran it within the last hour, need to wait. [15:05] hahaaha [15:05] tufftuff: did you install anything outside the ubuntu repositories? [15:05] tufftuff, wait, Feisty? [15:05] how many in this channel still use crt monitors? [15:05] !polls | mr_boo [15:05] That's which version number again? [15:06] mr_boo: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [15:06] * fde uses a CRT monitor [15:06] jlc: why don't you install JRE from the repos? [15:06] fde: after running dpkg reconfigure, this is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4. lshw -C video says unclaimed. [15:06] jrib, nope, nothing outside [15:06] mr_boo: I am [15:06] Jafet, I don't think so but am not posaitive. Anyway the load I got from the respos does not work in firefox. [15:06] I like them [15:06] Hello all... [15:06] Jafet, nope. not Fiesty. No LSB modules are available. [15:06] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [15:06] Description: Ubuntu 8.04 [15:06] Release: 8.04 [15:06] Codename: hardy [15:06] tufftuff: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [15:06] adam7, is the JRE from the repos x64? [15:06] oosp [15:06] jlc: that's a limitation of the Firefox Java plugin - installing the version you downloaded won't fix that [15:07] People, I finally managed to run Avan Window Navigator, but it doesn't start automatically for me. How can I fix it ??? PLS [15:07] Well, thank you all anyway [15:07] jlc: Sun doesn't make an x64 Firefox Java plugin, so there isn't anything we can do about it [15:07] Anyone knowledgeable in setting up eth1? [15:07] adam7, how do I get java to work in firefox or is there a better browser? [15:07] jlc: if you want Java, you can install icedtea or something, I think [15:07] kripz: more like what it should look like: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/working-xorg.conf-file-for-intel-845g-graphics-393687/ although Driver should be "intel" [15:07] if i push a key on NumPad reboot my pc, someone? [15:07] c-ya [15:07] jlc: Java will run fine, just not with Firefox [15:08] fde: ive added that line before, had no effect, ill check out hte link [15:08] adam7, I downloaded jre x64 from sun but don't know how to install it. [15:08] jlc theres different javas you can install type type java in synaptics I use suns java no problem [15:08] aloa - anyone use openchrome on hardy? [15:08] jlc, try Opera. Though it used to have some issues with Flash. [15:08] * fde has java working find with Firefox in Hardy. [15:08] I got an Ubuntu disk in the post today, can't get it to work, just wondering if anyone wants to give me some advice? When I try and boot from CD, I click try Ubuntu and it says 'Ata3 Soft Reset Failed (device not found)' Any ideas guys? I've always tried installing from windows and that doesn't work either. [15:08] i'd like to know why it removes and installs the firefox package like nearly instantly. seriously in under 1 second it's back to the prompt. [15:08] jlc: there is no point if the only thing you want to fix is the Firefox Java plugin - install the JRE from Sun won't help [15:08] guys i have a question.. i have kde 4 and im running ubuntu 8.04 @ the menu with applications all the icons have a ( ? ) but i can run it [15:08] tufftuff: messed with permissions at all? [15:08] i seem to be the only linux user who wants to push my crt monitor to it's boundaries [15:08] what i have to do ? [15:08] fde: how did you pull that off? and are you using x86_64? [15:08] How to make AWN start automatically on system boot ??? [15:08] my sound card was working properly, but right now, this is not anymore. How reinstall sound card? [15:09] hi everyone,i'm having big problems....upper panel is incomplete and i cant even see my desktop contents [15:09] jrib, changed nothing since the upgrade and reboot. [15:09] adam7: no... desktop users should not use x86_64. [15:09] mr_boo, yes. The ##asm channel is also small for its language type. [15:09] jrib, just noticed firefox wouldn't start. and here i am. [15:09] adam7, I almost wish I had installed the 32 bit version, java don't work and neither does lightscribe. [15:09] fde: and why do you say that? I'm using it right now and it works just great :) [15:09] if i push a key on NumPad reboot my pc, someone? [15:09] jlc: feel free to reinstall, I don't use either of those [15:09] adam7: Except for no flash or java. [15:09] it's grabbing firefox_3.0~b5_nobinonly-0ubuntu3_all.deb [15:09] fde: flash works fine, thats a myth [15:10] mr_boo, besides, CRT is like sitting in front of a baggage scanner all day. Unless you think screenburn is exciting... [15:10] adam7, you are still running 7. whatever? [15:10] well, it might be slightly more cpu intensive, but. [15:10] guess i'll manually install it... [15:10] jlc: I'm using 8.04 [15:10] tufftuff: output of 'which firefox'? [15:10] Jafet: where did assembler come into the picture [15:10] mr_boo, no one bothers with these things anymore. [15:10] any clue? [15:10] same here, you must be using 8.04 32 bit [15:10] adam7: via ndiswrapper, sure... ndiswrapper doesn't support java... the whole experience is just easier on i386, and using x86_64 brings no benefits to speak of for desktop use. [15:10] mr_boo, you remind me of the old era. [15:10] How to install Mini-Commander? [15:11] Jafet: that had it's advantages [15:11] hey, I have nvidia, how do I use the tv output. There must be a uttility? [15:11] firefox3 [15:11] mr_boo, besides, what do you expect to get out of tuning your monitor... [15:11] fde: it's nspluginwrapper :) and Java can be done with icedtea [15:11] hi, is there such a thing as viruses on ubuntu ? i clicked on a strange link..., how do i check if any 'suspicious' processes are running ? thanks [15:11] jlc: I'm using x86_^4 [15:11] !who | tufftuff [15:11] tufftuff: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[15:29] how to update db of the clamav [15:29] my dist is Ubuntu hardy [15:29] Jafet: Nah, its a lot of people... too many people rushed to upgrade to Hardy, and not enough beta tested prior to release, so you get these issues.

Probably not the best time for me to do that yet though. [15:30] I also just remembered I need to download and burn a live CD because 6.10 doesn't have adequate reiserfs parted support.

[15:33] flotishtu, you got ports forwarded [15:33] Jafet: Only thing that crashes here is Flash, and that's Adobe's fault, not Linux. [15:34] fde, well, to me, Windows is just another system. Sure they could design it better, but every Linux distro is deficient in other ways. [15:34] Dr_willis: Please refrain from street language.

Im still pretty new to ubuntu but for the most part i dont see why it would be that big of a transition for your average user [15:35] Jafet: ime, the only ways Linux is deficient in general is that hardware manufacturers don't take it seriously enough _still_ [15:35] flotishtu, in regards to what please [15:35] it seems like it stopped ( hdd led doesn't flicker anymore ) [15:35] chrissy_: see the last thing I said for exactly why :) [15:35] Nono1, this is problems with kernel 2.6.24 nor working on all controllers [15:35] vallhalla81, yea :) not sure if thats the best way to do it. but it works. [15:35] bazhang: I got the CD in the post this morning, it says Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop Edition. [15:35] yey, it finished, finally ! [15:35] hey guys, I want to use my nvidia tv out, how do I do this? [15:35] please take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [15:36] bazhang you said i got ports forwarded. what do es it means [15:36] why are some modelines unavailable due to "fail to set metamode"? [15:36] xpoint: thanks, is there a way I can fix this? [15:36] is it my graphics adapter that refuses? [15:36] sorry, really sleepy lol [15:36] Nono1, try older ubuntu versions if you can find one kernel that works that way, then you know the problem [15:36] flotishtu, you behind a router? you need to forward the ports then [15:36] hello guys, has anybody try SELinux on Hardy? [15:37] bazhang i have dsl. i have dsl router. but it only happens for torrents [15:37] Nono1, i run 2.6.17 here, 2.6.24 get me lots of problems :/ [15:37] www.portforward.com flotishtu [15:37] I want to use my nvidia tv out, how do I do this? [15:37] what is a "metamode"? [15:37] flotishtu, Google for port forwarding. [15:37] By the way, I supose idleing in this channel is okay right? [15:37] chrissy_: idling is the IRC way === wormy is now known as Jing4865 [15:37] bazhang had a good link. There is also a decent guide on the Azureus wiki, I think. [15:38] chrissy_, aye and chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [15:38] xpoint: thanks, i'll try and find something like that and try it... Much appreciated. [15:38] kk thanks a bunch!

[15:39] chunyu, what vm--vmware or vbox [15:39] it's kvm [15:39] I want to use my nvidia tv out, how do I do this? PLZ HELP ME SOMEONE! [15:39] flotishtu, port forwarding enables other peers to connect to you through a router which would normally block these open connection attempts for security reasons. [15:39] !tvout | European-African [15:39] European-African: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [15:39] flotishtu, you can set upload speed in ktorrent [15:39] Hey, my computer spends forever "looking up" websites in firefox, but it is using the same DNS servers as my windows computer which is much faster. Does anyone know what could cause that? [15:40] flotishtu, there are numerous more detailed explanations out there; read one of them. [15:40] ok thnax [15:40] European-African, i just use the twinview feature, and install the 2 nvidia config tools to enavble the tv to be a 2nd monitor. normally [15:40] European-African, if you are JUST using the tv out. On some of my nvidia machines. I can just have ONLY the tv hooked up at boot time, and it will become the default. without any tweaking. [15:40] Dr_willis: where is the twinview? [15:40] bazhang Jafet well, yes. but if i can download torrents. that means users can connect and the ports are forwarded. now why i see more upload speed. than donwload? [15:41] European-African, twinview is a feature of the nvidia drivers that handles the multi-monitor stuff. [15:41] xpoint/bazhang: thanks for the help, i'll leave now and try some different things, thanks again. [15:41] flotishtu, not enough seeders most likely [15:41] European-African, its not a program. [15:41] flotishtu: looks like the seeder is low [15:41] how do i use it [15:41] flotishtu, no, you also connect to other peers which means you get some traffic. [15:41] !twinview | European-African [15:41] European-African: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [15:41] European-African, i install the 2 extra nvidia config tools in the package manager, to tweak the settings. [15:41] modpr0be bazhang Jafet so it gathers seeders. but its uplaod is too much. is that all for seeking seeders? [15:41] People, GKSU starts only if I click an App TWICE! Has ANYONE experianced it on Hardy ??? [15:42] ok thanx [15:42] flotishtu, port forwarding isn't about download or upload speeds. [15:42] flotishtu, throttle the upload speed in ktorrent settings nothing to do with dl speed [15:42] I will try now [15:42] hi [15:43] I can't send anything to trash in my partitions === pardus_ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [15:43] modpr0be bazhang Jafet ok [15:43] Gpalco, that is the default iirc [15:43] gpalco, what happens when you gksu from the command line? [15:43] I've tried adding .Trash-1000 & .Trash-liet, but it doesn't solve the problem === BenC__ is now known as benc === benc is now known as BenC [15:43] Is there any solution for this? [15:43] Jafet, it doesn't start at all. [15:44] gpalco, well, erm, as in gksu some-command [15:44] does anyone know how to fix the trash problem? [15:45] Jafet, for example if I press install updates button in Update manager it just hangs waiting for GKSU to start, but it doesn't. Other apps I start twice [15:45] !trash [15:45] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [15:45] How to install Mini-Commander? [15:45] is there a command like lsof that works for audio so I can see what's holding up my sound card? [15:45] yes, ubottu, I know, but waht about my partition? [15:45] gpalco, okay, try that for an example: gksu update-manager [15:46] or another question if my sound card is 0,0 whats the path to it in /dev? [15:46] !ubottu [15:46] alsa [15:46] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [15:46] Cheap supybots with attitude. [15:46] * Fritzel comforts Liet, "I did the same thing" [15:46] I have no problems with my root partition, the prblem is with others [15:46] Jafet, please stay on topic [15:46] Fritzel: lsof is not confined to non-audio files. [15:46] hey guys [15:47] is bazhag here? [15:47] bullgard4, well I could chekc the device except I don't know where to find alsa 0,0 in /dev [15:47] Jafet, that's what I do. I kill the hanging Update manager and then start it twice again. Then it work. Anyone reported anyhing like that here? It there a fix? [15:47] i was wondering if any of you knows how to get rid of this error while compiling proftpd. [15:47] say guys, anyone knows why I can't find xmms anywhere on either apt or synaptic? [15:47] cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double" [15:48] IceTox, audacious is its successor [15:48] bazhang, so ubuntu decided to remove xmms as audacious was a better choice? [15:48] xmms is deprecated IceTox [15:48] hey, bazhang [15:48] bullgard4, nevermind I think I found it flash is being mean >< [15:48] hi clint101 [15:48] hi. [15:49] IceTox: yes [15:49] IceTox: mostly because xmms is dead [15:49] bazhang, I love xmms, but I'll give audacious a shot :-) [15:49] hydrogen, that is sad news [15:49] IceTox, there is xmms2 if you must [15:49] bazhang - quick question ... do you remeber talking to me about removing the CD software source last nite (I know you talk to a lot of people) [15:49] IceTox: from what I've heard, audacious seeks to be a replacement for xmms [15:49] but using gtk2 [15:49] clint101, sure [15:50] xmms2 is nothing like xmms [15:50] why not using exaile? =) [15:50] !players [15:50] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [15:50] because exaile is nothing like xmms [15:50] it worked great; my question is ... if I didn't find you on IRC, how eelse would I have found info on that topic (remove CD software sources) [15:50] xmms can be compiled ^_^ there's a howto on the wiki or forums one [15:50] ? [15:50] is there anyway to kill npviewer.bin if it's not responding to kill -9 without Sysrq-k or rebooting? [15:50] clint101, likely reading ubuntuforums ;] [15:50] bazhang and hydrogen. Xmms was quite plain. I like that, but sometimes we just need to follow the streams of changes :) Thank you for you help. [15:51] I compiled it myself and xmms works great [15:51] IceTox: yea, audacious sounds like what you want then :) [15:51] xmms is so legacy [15:51] It's very much a modern up to date xmms [15:51] itsl gtk1 [15:51] !help [15:51] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [15:51] it's "legacy" but it does it's job very well [15:51] but gtk1 looks too ugly [15:51] Jafet, how can I add apps on the list to be started automatically on system boot. I need to add AWN, pls [15:52] does anyone know what a graphics "metamode" is? [15:52] * BBishop loves xmms [15:52] audacious was forked from beep which was forked from xmms so basically audacious is a bugfixed xmms of sorts [15:52] mr_boo, modeline? [15:52] bazhang - also, what IRC client do you use and do you attribute it to your ability to have so many IRC conversations at once? [15:52] hydrogen, well, for a start off, at least audacious has their main player and their playlist at the same width :P Good one =) [15:52] bazhang: i know what a modeline is [15:52] clint101, xchat is the choice of many [15:52] bazhang: there is a thing called "metamode" as well [15:52] mr_boo, not sure there [15:53] Hi all, I'm unable to browse windows workgroups. I open smb:/// and then smb://workgroup/, and nowt shows up [15:53] Gpalco, System > Prefs > Sessions, probably. [15:53] Gpalco: System/settings/sessions? [15:53] Jafet, thank you [15:53] lol :D [15:53] 1 thing i hate about xwindows is that , when an application hang due to io or network error, the whole xwindow freezes even thou those other application is still running! how the hell could i terminate the application? talk about stability.. xwindow still sux big time [15:53] Fritzel: hmm, I remember (from an OS course at the university) there being some other way of getting rid of zombie processes, but can't recall how :( [15:53] bazhang ... thank you ... out [15:53] xkill [15:53] If I "smbclient -L IP" where IP is some correct IP, I get the list [15:54] bye ;] [15:54] u007: What? No. OTher clients continue to run fine. [15:54] hydrogen, yah, I see that.. :-) Just have to skin it up a little to fit my desktop and it'll be a success :) [15:54] hello guys, who are using Netbeans here? [15:54] haggis -nod- is that what it's called a zombie process? that gives me something to work with at least [15:54] im trying to configure my graphics card and everytime i reboot it pops up with a black screen asking to configure my video card? i do so and after i restart it pops up again? [15:55] Before I go out and buy... anyone here used a Palm TX syncing with Evolution? [15:55] Fritzel: yep [15:55] kripz do you use the propriatery drivers? [15:55] kripz what type video card do you have? [15:55] wgrant - i encounter few times when the dvd hang... i cannot even press anything on the keyboard, but the other animated things on the background is running , plus my mouse is movable, but unclickable... all the keystroke seems to wait for this dvd player to resume before it can take those keystrokes.. that really sux, especially u can even ctl+alt+backspace to terminate xwindows.. [15:55] neege, ouellettesr , intel drivers [15:55] u007: That sounds like a bug in the application which has frozen. [15:55] sirleon, thank you too [15:55] i meant can't [15:55] kripz, its in intel card? [15:56] aah you got an intregrated graphics cared [15:56] ouellettesr, onboard [15:56] bazhang and hydrogen, for the record, I think audacious has better sound than xmms. :-) [15:56] ahh [15:56] u007: In that case, Alt+F2, run xkill, and click on the frozen window, and all should be good. [15:56] I'm trying to try out gdesklets for the first time. I've installed it, but running it gives me "Could not import tiling module!". Does anyone know why? [15:56] u007: But it's a bug in that application. [15:56] kripz did you run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [15:56] wgrant - it also happen to amsn, when it froze due to network internet connectivity down, it frozen the whole xwindows from keystrokes or mouse click [15:56] hocmin, with compiz? [15:56] ok it says I need to kill the parent process, how do I find that out? [15:57] u007: That's certainly not normal. [15:57] ouellettesr, no, if i so do it does not configure it, it restes my config and replaces it with this: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4 [15:57] wgrant - none of the keystoke works if it hang, i've to do hard reset [15:57] nevermind it's flash duh, its probably firefox [15:57] bazhang, I'm not sure. Compiz sounds like something I've heard before, but I'm not sure what it is [15:57] are there higher standardized resolutions than 2048x1536? [15:57] hocmin, it is the wobbly windows one ;] [15:57] u007: OK, that is definitely a bug in something Xish, probably a proprietary video driver. [15:57] mr_boo there's 2560x1600 [15:58] I've never seen such a thing. [15:58] u007: Do you use Compiz? [15:58] yay sound is restored thanks for the help haggis [15:58] why are people happy with low resolutions these days [15:58] bazhang, I think I played with compiz before, but I don't *think* I'm using it now. If you can tell me a way to check I'll do so [15:58] mr_boo 2048x1536 isn't exactly low [15:58] video driver? its not video driver cox the other application is still animating.. but keystoke and mouse click halt, like went into que, waiting to be flushed once the hang application resume.. [15:58] Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive. The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes? [15:58] i'd rather have one big high res monitor than two small [15:58] Hello Guys I just installed the NetBeans in my system. How can I run it? [15:58] wgrant - yeah.. compiz came default with ubuntu 8 [15:58] How to install Mini-Commander? [15:58] hocmin, if you use compiz you might consider screenlets, the next evolution from gdesklets imo [15:58] krpiz, which driver did you select when you ran dpkg-reconfigure? [15:59] u007: Ah. Application bug, then. Also, it's Ubuntu 8.04. Not Ubuntu 8. [15:59] it isn't the mid nineties anymore where 800x600 was considered "high resolution" [15:59] bazhang, ok, so then what you're telling me (but thank you for the suggestion), is that you don't know what my problem is [15:59] lol [15:59] ouellettesr, i didnt run dpk-reconfigure, if i do so, it doesnt even ask me for drivers [15:59] wgrant - yeah.. could it be compiz ? [15:59] mr_boo what are you talking about? no one has said 800x600 is high res and no sane person uses anything less than 1280x1024 [15:59] u007: Unlikely, given that video output continues to function. [15:59] ouellettesr, this is my current config: http://pastebin.com/mb8339a5, if i run dpk-reconfigure, it will replace it with this: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4 [15:59] negge: the 1280x1024 is a really popular res [15:59] hocmin, not at all; please clarify when this happens (more details always help) [16:00] wgrant - then its xwindow [16:00] Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive. The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes? [16:00] what 320x200 is out [16:00] negge: it's one of the few that is not 4/3 but just nearly [16:00] 320x200 is nostalgy to me [16:00] u007: Why? [16:00] u007: What about the applications? [16:00] wgrant - when it happen, ctl+alt+backspace nor ctl+alt+f1 work [16:00] bazhang: it's pretty simple and short. I ran gdesklets from the menu, "Gdesklets Shell" window came up with nothing in it (no menus, no widgets in the window). Eventually the window disappeared [16:00] mr_boo, please stay on topic thanks [16:00] 320x200 is my mobile -.- [16:01] hocmin, you loaded some widgets or not [16:01] phone [16:01] kripz do you have two video cards installed? === |Aaron| is now known as [Aaron] [16:01] u007: Ah, that detail was not revealed earlier. [16:01] wgrant - yes, the application could hang if network or io problem, but how can xwindow allow 1 application event to halt the entire xwindow? [16:01] i'm looking for some VMs. Does anyone know a free VM with a coherence mode like parallels'? [16:01] ouellettesr, just the one [16:01] bazhang: sorry [16:01] bazhang, so I tried to run gdesklets from a terminal, got an error "Cannot establish connection to daemon: timeout!" and to check the log file [16:01] Fritzel: for future reference, getting process list with parent process id can be done using: ps axo ppid,pid,command | grep defunct [16:01] ouellettesr, onboard intel 945GM [16:01] u007: By a bug in X which I have never seen before. [16:01] bazhang, no, I haven't. I don't have any interface to do so [16:01] kripz two monitors hooked up to one maybe? [16:01] u007: What kind of video card do you have? [16:01] Frizel: just look up the parent process id (ppid) for the process and kill it [16:01] Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive. The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes? [16:01] hocmin, what widgets you got [16:01] bazhang, then I checked the log file and I saw that tile error in the log file [16:01] ouellettesr, no just the 1 lcd monitor (its a laptop), there is a tv out though [16:02] who are using Netbeans here.? [16:02] I've downloaded a simple one, the calendar, just to try it out, but like I said, there's no window for me select install from [16:02] who are using Netbeans here.? [16:02] hocmin, this is from repos? [16:02] kripz i have had that chipset once, everything worked fine so the chipset is not the problem :) [16:02] bazhang, yes [16:02] harris: #java [16:02] hocmin, hang on let me try [16:02] wgrant - hang on [16:02] is back [16:03] By the way, does anybody in here experience sluggish 2D performance with NVIDIA binary drivers (nvidia-glx-legacy)? [16:03] fde: hey fde... :-). you never sleep :-) [16:03] bazhang, I'm on Ubuntu Gutsy, AMD64 btw [16:03] anyway to ls and get the most recent files first? [16:03] ouellettesr, any idea why it resets it to a blank config when i run dpkg-reconfigure? it doesnt even ask for video related setup, just keyboard stuff [16:03] Hi, when I get to the login screen the resolution is really low and everything is massive. The only problem is that it only displays like the top left quarter of the actual login screen, any fixes? [16:03] does anyone know how to open a file threw a ssh connection on the client machine ?? Ie/ just a text file for now [16:03] kripz try seeing if you have the latest intel drivers [16:04] kripz sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [16:04] can anyone explain to me why this xorg.conf file is working? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11257/ [16:04] hocmin, you got gdesklets-data installed [16:04] ouellettesr, already got the newest version [16:04] ScorpKing: why do u think it should not work ? [16:04] ... where does the screen driver went to :( [16:04] oliver, what display card model are you using? [16:04] s/display/graphics/ [16:04] ouellettesr, im running xubuntu amd64, could that matter? [16:04] Jafet ATI [16:05] bazhang, yes. I'm looking into a forum post right now, something about python version issues [16:05] arbir: there is hardly any settings/mode/drivers or anythng else in there [16:05] kripz do you have a 64bit machine? [16:05] ouellettesr, yes [16:05] Jafet the resolution I have now (once logged in) is 1024x780 [16:05] #ubuntu-nl [16:05] ScorpKing: X does a lot of autodetection these days. It should run fine without an xorg.conf at all. [16:05] i dont know then ive never had a 64bit [16:05] Is Pentium4 i386 or 64? [16:05] hocmin, what widget you choose [16:06] esperegu_ i386 [16:06] oliver, only with the login screen? [16:06] esperegu_: Except for a tiny number of exceptions, the former. [16:06] Jafet Correction 1280x1024 [16:06] pentium4 is i386 [16:06] rogeronrails: ls -lt [16:06] Jafet yeah [16:06] x thx [16:06] bazhang, I'm sorry, what widget I choose? [16:06] ^_^ [16:06] bazhang, I'm not sure what you're asking me [16:06] hocmin, aye [16:06] kripz, by the lools of that pastebin, xserver is not recinfiguring properly [16:06] i bought a usb to serial adapter, how can i check if its working? [16:06] ScorpKing: I think its fine.. [16:06] looks* [16:06] * RabidWeezle can't wait for his new athlon64 dual core laptops to install ubuntu on [16:06] oliver, strange. But maybe a different X instance is used for your login manager. Someone else might want to confirm this. [16:06] umpf.... javaappelt irc is faster than pidgin irc =( [16:06] ScorpKing: mine is very different either. [16:06] haggis: thanks! [16:07] rogeronrails: man ls, you'll want the -t option [16:07] wgrant: well that's the problem. that same file works on my laptop but on my dad's laptop the best resolution i get is 800x600 after replacing it with one from 7.10 [16:07] krips, use all the default values except for the driver, use the "intel" [16:07] SchneeSchwarz: vielen dank [16:07] I want to understand , how are compiz themes different from GTK2.x themes ? which one should I install. [16:07] mmmm in ubuntu 8.04, what happened to the screen setting menu [16:07] i only have screen resolution :( [16:07] ouellettesr, ok, ill do a reconfigure and add Driver "intel" [16:08] * RabidWeezle needs to look up irssi controls (keyboard shortcuts) [16:08] rogeronrails: np [16:08] hocmin, you still need help--gdesklets loads fine here [16:08] kripzi meant run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg woth all default values, but select the intel driver [16:08] lol ok [16:08] Jafet Thanks [16:08] bazhang, all right, thanks anyway [16:08] i bought a usb to serial adapter, how can i check if its working? [16:08] u007: It was removed from the menus, as it's largely useless. [16:08] wgrant - ... [16:08] hi.... i have hardy heron (upgraded about 2 weeks ago... and im finding it reasonably hard to install a gtk2.X theme do older themes not work with gtk now? [16:08] Can anyone help me please? I'm having some strange issues with my sound. Here is the scenario: I can launch firefox, go to youtube and play a video, if I try and launch say Rhythmbox at the same time, Rhythmbox no longer plays music. The reverse of this is also true. Furthermore, if I open World of Warcraft in Wine, and try and play songs in Rhythmbox it no longer works. Each of these things sound work fine individually but don't work [16:08] when something else is playing. (this used to work in older versions of Ubuntu) [16:08] ouellettesr, if i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it does not ask me anything related to graphics/video, it will only set up keyboard stuff? [16:09] wgrant - how do i check then? [16:09] kripz: i'm having the same problem [16:09] hocmin, likely a problem with your arch [16:09] u007: Do you not know what brand of video card you have? [16:09] wgrant - intel [16:09] wgrant - i was using it in 7,1 [16:09] kripz are you rinning it with any options? [16:09] u007: 7.10. [16:09] u007: How recent is it? [16:09] ... if i dont use that, how do i set my screen resolution? [16:09] ouellettesr, no, just sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xor [16:09] bazhang, actually I think it's a problem with backward compatibility with python, according to what I'm finding on the forums, but thanks for your advice [16:10] u007: Using System->Preferences->Screen Resolution [16:10] can someone help me build a raid-1 config in ubuntu? [16:10] kripz try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [16:10] lspci shown: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [16:10] wgrant - how about monitor type? [16:10] u007: Monitors are autodetected. [16:10] nobody kn0ows huh? ouch... okay im a back to google and start again [16:11] Unless there's a very nasty bug in the driver. [16:11] wgrant - its not effective! [16:11] Which is unlikely. [16:11] ouellettesr, done, now my config is back to this: http://pastebin.com/m45fb1ba4 [16:11] anyone who can help me get my intel i810 working at 1024x768 (native screen resolution) will have my eternal gratitude [16:11] u007: What's wrong with it? [16:11] Trae, two seperate issues; one is wine is greedy with the sound card often; the second is a known adobe bug--one workaround for now is close musicplayer when watching youtube [16:11] kripz, running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg alone should reconfigure everything not just keyboard, that is ver unusual [16:11] wgrant - i've encountered time when xwindow could not detect properly on the supported resolution for the lcd tv [16:11] ouellettesr, the only graphics related question it asks is something about calls to a buffer, yes or not [16:11] wgrant - i've to manually set the lcd supported resolution [16:12] Trae, some have reported that installing libflashsupport is helpful as well [16:12] wgrant - now that its gone.. its ... [16:12] ouellettesr, never asks me to pick a drive [16:12] u007: Have you filed a bug? [16:12] not yet [16:12] devilsadvocate, gutsy or hardy [16:12] bazhang, kk thanks [16:12] kripz did you have this working at one point? [16:12] kripz, thats what i noticed too. supposed to be about awesome improvements coming with xorg 7.3 [16:12] * devilsadvocate grumbles [16:12] u007: Please do so ASAP. In the meantime, the command you want is displayconfig-gtk [16:13] bazhang, hardy. [16:13] kripz: that xorg.conf file works on my laptop but on my dad's it doesn't. let me know if you find someting usefull ;) [16:13] wgrant - cool :) thanks [16:13] ouellettesr, never, installed Xubuntu twice from scratch and its always the same [16:13] bazhang, interesting thing though is... if Rhythmbox is running first... then Wine won't have sound with WoW. [16:13] bazhang, so that kind of negates the other two issues. [16:13] bazhang, it used to work till fiesty. i did not try gutsy [16:13] devilsadvocate, you tried gskudo displayconfig-gtk? [16:13] devilsadvocate, wonder how long... [16:13] ouellettesr: Ubuntu 8.04 has dpkg handling minimal X config. Most of it is autodetected. [16:14] ScorpKing, will do [16:14] ouellettesr: (by X, not debconf) [16:14] wgrant oh i did not know that [16:14] bazhang, i tried manually fiddling with xrandr. will try that now [16:14] With any luck we'll have xorg.conf eliminated for 8.10. [16:14] wgrant, how does he reconfigure the rest of it then [16:14] Trae, well try playing flash sound with wow ;] [16:14] Hello, just a quick question. How to change the position of Gnome toolbar? [16:14] ouellettesr: What needs reconfiguration? [16:14] Hello, some can said, how change voltage for processor on different multiply? [16:15] Levantado, hardware question? [16:15] wgrant, lshw -C video says UNCLAIMED for my display? [16:15] bazhang: That should work fine - Wine and Adobe Flash both use ALSA. [16:15] more program [16:15] bazhang, i dont think i have that application [16:15] bazhang, yeah.... so in otherwords it's a known fact that it's busted? [16:15] kripz: Don't care about HAL. [16:15] wgant, reboots and x fails to load, nothing in his xorg file has anything about his video driver [16:15] wgrant, what is hal? [16:15] in win have program RMclock in nix have some programm or scripts? [16:15] wgrant * sorry [16:15] Trae, the flash bug from *adobe*? yeah well known [16:15] bazhang, my bad. i had it. doesnt work though [16:16] kripz: The subsystem that lshw derives its information from. It doesn't reflect what X knows about the card. [16:16] wgrant, thanks :) [16:16] are emerald themes fine or are they deprecated ? [16:16] bazhang, not sure what Rhythmbox (playing mp3's) and WoW have to do with Flash, but ok... [16:16] how can I start a program from terminal and have to keep running when I exit? [16:16] wgrant, ok, how do i find out what drivers my display is using then? [16:16] linkmaster03: rephrase ur question [16:16] arbir should be okay [16:16] linkmaster type alt+F2 [16:16] Trae: Wine doesn't use PulseAudio natively, but Rhythmbox does. A bit of Googling should reveal how to make Wine use it too, but I don't know it offhand. [16:16] aaah bazhang... how are you ? [16:16] bazhang, I do appreciate you trying to help though. [16:17] i changed my screen resolution and open firefox and i have no window management [16:17] linkmaster03, add & [16:17] kripz: What type of card do you have? [16:17] thanks oue [16:17] wgrant, onboard intel 945GM [16:17] linkmaster03, you can put an ampersand on the end in terminal [16:17] arbir :) [16:17] kripz: Then you're using intel, unless you only have 640x480, in which case you're using vesa. [16:17] bazhang: dont you ever sleep ? [16:17] thanks everyone [16:17] wgrant, so someone somewhere along the line decided to use something other than what had been used in 7.04 and previous for sound. [16:18] ?? [16:18] bazhang, and whoever else may be interested. it detects my lcd screeen as generic plug and play and limits resolution to 800x600 [16:18] Trae: Correct. It had to be changed at some stage. [16:18] devilsadvocate, what video card and driver and how installed [16:18] i changed my screen resolution and open firefox and i have no window management [16:18] Guys..... How to Restart or refresh the panel and menus in the terminal? what shuld i type? [16:18] harris: killall gnome-panel. It will automatically restart. [16:18] wgrant, is this something that should just magically start working after an upgrade some day? or... am I supposed to fix it? [16:18] harris to reset to default? [16:19] Trae: The Wine issue will probably not be resolved in 8.04. [16:19] just refresh, to see the added menus and shortcut [16:19] !sound | Trae [16:19] wgrant: Although it should be easy to fix yourself. [16:19] Trae: 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 [16:19] bazhang, intel 82815 . its either using the vesa diver or the i810. i asked it to use i810 in xorg.conf [16:19] syk are you running emerald? [16:19] wgrant, joy! :( thanks for your time mate. I do appreciate you trying to help. [16:19] devilsadvocate: Which release of Ubuntu are your unning? [16:19] hi all [16:19] devilsadvocate: i810 hasn't existed for a while now. [16:19] bazhang: I have compiz installed.. should i then install a compiz theme or a GTK 2.x theme ? [16:19] wgrant: Thanks ur a winner! [16:19] wgrant, Hardy. installed from alternate install cd earlier today [16:19] wgrant, "dmesg | grep agpgart" reports only 8mb of ram being used for video, even with a game open it only uses 8mb? (im assuming that command is accurate) [16:19] i have it installed but it did it before i installed emerald [16:20] devilsadvocate: Why not use -intel like the rest of the planet? [16:20] it just started when i changed my screen res [16:20] kripz: No idea, sorry. [16:20] arbir your choice--many seem to like emerald as gtk are used by metacity (non-compiz) [16:20] syk: Try Alt+F2, and run metacity. [16:20] wgrant, ok thanks anyway [16:20] Nobody know about it? [16:20] wgrant, i also tried reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel but it didnt change anything. i picked i810 because displaysettings-gtk listed it as an option [16:20] syk, try alt+f2 then in the run box type compiz --replace [16:20] my new flaming hardy heron is behaving strange [16:20] how can i have a clue about what to do? [16:20] Howdy - my flash keeps crashing and I was wondering if anyone could help :) I'm on 8.04 (of course) but its unfortunately an AMD64 thingy :) [16:21] jaims give tons more info [16:21] jaims read alot :) [16:21] err, syk, probably what wgrant said [16:21] here? [16:21] Levantado, ##hardware [16:21] devilsadvocate: intel should work better in all cases, and it works around the BIOS bugs that stuff up resolutions. [16:21] :) [16:21] i just did that and nothing [16:21] scunizi, oh sounds works fine. Rhythmbox (playing mp3's) works Wine (in World of Warcraft) works, Youtube flash in browser [firefox] works. the only problem happens when I try and play Mp3's in Rhythmbox while playing WoW in Wine (something I used to be able to do prior to 8.04 with no problem) [16:21] bazhang: one tutorial says "Install the Beryl and GTK theme as usual"... i have no clue how to install a Beryl theme... can you please help ? [16:21] ko thks [16:21] jaims you need help then you should ask informed questions ;] [16:21] syk, which one did you do? [16:21] when i open firefox it like it full screens the program [16:21] wgrant, any idea how to check what driver is acitally beign used? im confused like hell with all these multiple edit locations [16:21] metacity [16:21] i'll try to make a very short illustrative abstract [16:22] syk try compiz --repalce then [16:22] arbir beryl is out of date-->you might want to use emerald theme manager for emerald themes [16:22] syk replace* [16:22] devilsadvocate: [16:22] didnt work either [16:22] devilsadvocate: Which multiple edit locations? [16:22] kripz: i have unclaimed as well for video. you have to find and compile drivers before it will work. [16:22] gdm takes too much time to start. When it's loaded, every app launched from menu takes too long to appear on the screen. Then, the app launched works ok [16:23] ScorpKing: Uh, what? No. [16:23] syk im outta ideas then [16:23] ScorpKing: HAL just doesn't know about the X drivers. [16:23] jaims how much ram what video card and driver plus how installed [16:23] wgrant: oh ok. [16:23] how can i get the restricted drivers in hardy? [16:23] wgrant, displaymanager-gtk, which seems to edit xorg.conf, xrandr, which edits god knows what, then the xserver-xorg reconfigure, which edits xorg.conf but doesnt make any graphics related settings, then aptitiude install xserver-xorg-video-intel, which im not sure what it does [16:23] when i change my screen res to 1680x1050 it works fine [16:23] ubuntu-restricted-extras SliM1 [16:23] anything else it doesnt [16:23] fresh install this morning. Worked everything ok. After a restart, I started to see that [16:24] bazhang: how do i tell if a theme have beryl components which i want to steer clear off. example this one.. http://tinyurl.com/2c45jn [16:24] Trae, probably a pulse audio thing.. I'm still trying to figure out the quirks in my upgrade. There is a wiki page I've seen describing different things to install for pulse audio management.. it's on one of the ubuntu wiki's. sorry I don't have a referance. [16:24] bazhang: thanks [16:24] SliM1, system>administation>hardware drivers [16:24] oops that should be modules SliM1 [16:24] anyone installed the "Lacie Hard Disk, Design by Neil Poulter, USB 2.0" before? Tried a few things from the forum with no success :/ [16:24] SliM1, extras is codecs, my bad [16:24] devilsadvocate: no option there for adding drivers [16:24] bazhang: codecs will also do fine [16:24] vaio vgn tz-xxxx. Gutsy used to work like a charm [16:25] SliM1, that is, if i understand correctly, the new restricted drivers manager. if there is nothing there your hardware might work fine with oopen drivers [16:25] devilsadvocate: They all do very different things. aptitude just installs packages, no configuration. xserver-xorg reconfigure is deprecated, and doesn't do any video settings. displayconfig-gtk is also deprecated, due to the introduction of xrandr 1.2. [16:25] xrandr is the way to do things. [16:25] SliM1, modules is linux-restricted-modules-yourkernel and codecs is ubuntu-restricted-extras [16:25] Why wont sound work on Ubuntu? [16:25] i cant get sound to work [16:25] nathan please give more than bare bones info thanks [16:25] Im curious as to the name of the partition manager in hardy [16:26] gparted joshua__ [16:26] well only system sounds work, volume is full, but things like firefox dont have any sound [16:26] !sound | nathan [16:26] nathan: 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 [16:26] how do i open it [16:26] alt f2 doesnt work [16:26] nathan it would help us if you told us what hardware you have [16:26] joshua__: Install the gparted package. [16:26] joshua__, what do you need to do [16:26] i need to use it off the live cd [16:26] i have alsa mixer [16:26] is it there? [16:26] wgrant, ok. then where do i find which driver is being used. xorg.conf has no information, i dont see a switch for xrandr to trigger that info [16:26] nathan thats not hardware [16:26] i have to resize my partition [16:27] nathan, firefox ie youtube sites? [16:27] no im on gmail and on the chat a beep is meant to notify me of a new message [16:27] and how can i install just what i need? [16:27] whats my hardware then [16:27] how do i find it? [16:27] did you install a sound card yourself? [16:27] SliM1, tell us what you need first :) [16:27] if not then its onboard sound [16:28] devilsadvocate: Try running 'grep in\ autoconfig /var/log/Xorg.0.log'. I can't find any other easy way to do it right now. [16:28] nathan, you can find your hardware with an lspci (i dont knwo what the graphical thingy is called) [16:28] But it's 0130, so I could just be asleep. [16:28] well when i had WINDOWS i installed a sound update [16:28] haha [16:28] bazhang: nvidia restricted drivers [16:28] is gparted on the live cd by default? [16:28] nathan new to linux? [16:28] yes i am [16:28] SliM1, what card do you have [16:28] Welcome :) [16:28] VERRY new [16:28] my screen goes blank and im trying to watch a movie how do i not make it go blank? [16:28] bazhang: geforce 4 [16:28] chaqu1, turn off compiz [16:28] That is a common error [16:29] i cant get my sound to work on things other than system sounds [16:29] just be patient and well help you throught it [16:29] how do i turn off compiz? [16:29] ok thanks [16:29] wgrant - okay, i've submitted a bug report: Bug #229025 [16:29] Launchpad bug 229025 in ubuntu "xwindow hang when application hang for io or network" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/229025 [16:29] bazhang: why doesn't hardy find that on it's own? [16:29] hey i have another question: when i play full screen games, like wop or open arena, my screen flashes back and forth between a window and full screen and i lose mouse control [16:29] chaqu1: System->Preferences->Appearance, then Visual Affects. [16:29] nathan so like playing a music song works? [16:29] chaqu1, alt f2 metacity --replace === pseigo__ is now known as pseigo_ [16:29] wgrant, i say its using vesa, but im still a bit unsure [16:29] yes, music and videos work, just sounds on firefox [16:30] joshua__: That's Compiz, and should be fixed for 8.10. See my last message so chaqu1 to turn it off. [16:30] thats cool ubottu bot :D [16:30] nathan: You mean Flash? [16:30] ok [16:30] SliM1, that likely is using the oss drivers not the proprietary ones-->to be sure you can ask in #compiz-fusion (if you run compiz that is) [16:30] nathan that is weird, are you running the latest version of ubuntu "hardy"? [16:30] so switch window managers to fix that problem? [16:30] when i s 8.10 due? [16:30] joshua__: Yes. [16:30] no, ANY sound on firefox wont work, i just downloaded and installed Ubuntu 'hardy' today [16:30] unknown? [16:30] joshua__: October. [16:30] joshua__: yes, i suggest using compiz-switch [16:30] k [16:30] Near or around the 10th month. [16:30] thanks dude [16:30] joshua__: For now, temporarily turn off compiz. [16:30] s [16:30] nathan, you are addressing whom [16:31] thanks boys and girls [16:31] nathan: What sound other than Flash? [16:31] how do i adress people? [16:31] is Dlink DFE-520TX supported out of the box? I'm about to go shopping like in 10 minutes :S [16:31] nathan, like this. [16:31] hello world [16:31] I am currently using a 32-bit version of ubuntu (hh). I have 4 gigs of ram;dual core 1.5 GHz processors; Hardy says it's reading 3.5 gigs on a Dell m1330 XPS. Would my system benefit from going to 64 bit ? [16:31] I have Kubuntu installed, and I just installed Gnome. How do I actually stope KDE and start GNOME!? [16:31] <|Dreams|> ? vga [16:31] Not like this. [16:31] x1250, what chipset [16:31] wgrant just trype the nick of the person your talking to [16:31] another clue: if i plug in the rj45 wire, it works ok (i've just found) [16:31] lol, not wgrant, nathan i meant [16:31] ouellettesr: I'm quite aware. [16:31] Medved, define benefit. [16:31] ouellettesr: Heh. [16:31] :) [16:31] on googlemail there is a beep when a new message has come, the beep dosent play, neither does any soud [16:31] :) [16:31] bazhang: it ran restricted drivers with gutsy, and the restricted drivers wer just one click away from being installed, after installing gutsy [16:32] Jafert: faster, better, make me more handsome? [16:32] SliM1, i dont know why hardy didnt find it on its own, but i think what you need is nvidia-glx , nvidia-settings and nvidia-xconfig [16:32] Medved, ah, the extra RAM. I missed that. [16:32] how install ubuntu [16:32] SliM1, aye, hardy has changed alot in that regard; nothing in hardware drivers correct? [16:32] I have Kubuntu installed, and I just installed Gnome. How do I actually stope KDE and start GNOME!? [16:32] Medved, yes, you could be more handsome. [16:32] nathan just a thought, but double click the vloume icon in the tray, make sure they are all turned up [16:32] !install | mashihna [16:32] mashihna: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[16:33] Thanks [16:33] exactly [16:33] nathan glad it works :) [16:33] Thanks ubottu [16:33] nathan: Sounds in Flash may not work if you have other audio applications open. This is a bug in Adobe Flash. [16:33] Hello. Can someone help? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, but I can't get the sound to work. I don't know if it's an Ubuntu issue or a Virtual PC issue, but I suspect it's the latter. What can I do? [16:33] mashihna, hes a bot :) [16:33] haha so am i XD how does IRC work? [16:34] IRC protocol [16:34] i have an unclean vista partition that wasnt shut down correctly, however vista is gone. so i cant reboot it. and vista wont reinstall on it. i would really like the data off of it, however it is marked as in use. i tried force mounting it, but it failed. i suppose there is now other way to access that data [16:34] if i have my wire to the router plugged to my laptop, everything works. If it's unplugged, it doesn't work ok: apps take a too long time to start (10 secs) [16:34] how do i use it? so far ive been directed to kubuntu server, then i clicked here [16:34] How do I find out if my network card supports gigabit network speeds? [16:34] issyl, i think its a conspiracy [16:34] nathan, that is a bit offtopic here, you can look that up elsewhere thanks [16:34] rather than just 100mbit speeds? [16:34] joshua__, why did force mounting fail? [16:35] how do i get elsewhere? [16:35] Jafert: ? so that is a definite "aye" for the 64 bit os given what i am running? [16:35] is there official support for ubuntu or do they rely on the public? [16:35] nathan, /join #channelname [16:35] how do i find the channelnames?

The libghc6-x11-dev package that comes with hardy is version 1.4.1-1, but the libghc6-hgl-dev packages that comes with hardy expects version 1.3.0 to be installed. How do I fix this and where should I report such a bug? [16:36] bazhang: Interface controller, D-Link DL10030 [16:36] issyl, yeah just playing though [16:36] i can't able to configure speetouch dsl router on ubuntu [16:36] can anyone help me pzl ? [16:36] it is sda1 [16:36] amfibian__: Why on earth are you compiling that? [16:36] Medved, I honestly don't know. You could try booting a basic 64-bit system and see if the extra memory is detected. [16:36] When re-installing Linux will the ISO image burned to a cd, take care of erasing the disc drive, and start FRESH??? Or are there other things that need to be done? [16:36] mdmkolbe|work, launchpad.net [16:36] ok, OMG quanta loaded it up then [16:36] x1250, is that broadcom? that is the chipset example what you gave is brand name [16:36] it has stoped working and i just want to get it back up [16:36] is there anyway to change my ntfs partition which is marked as boot off of boot? [16:36] jdj is it a router/modem? [16:36] moro: It will ask you about what you want to do with the disk, including resizing your Windows partition if necessary. [16:36] anyway to change it to my linux disc? [16:36] joshua__: No; it's marked that way for a reason. [16:37] bye all [16:37] amfibian__: 'it'?

[16:37] windows wont install [16:37] on that drive [16:37] * Emry was afk for a looooonnnngggg time. :P [16:37] ouellettesr: Oh okay. Any ideas as to what I can do, seriously? It is annoying, because no sound means I can't use Skype (my microphone doesn't work either) and I can't listen to music. [16:37] moro: It will ask what you want.

[16:37] joshua__: Why not plug it into another machine with another Windows installation? [16:37] says that it doesnt meet the requirements [16:37] it, my wireless card [16:38] would that fix it you think? [16:38] issyl, i dont sorry, just ask your question again and maybe someone else can help you [16:38] moro: Then tell the installer so. [16:38] joshua__, how did you last power off Windows? [16:38] moro: Select the option to erase the entire disk. [16:38] jdj, so you can connect to the router and login to the admin interface/ [16:38] i want to shrink my ubuntu partition and try installing windows on my ubuntu drive [16:38] i did the proper shutdown [16:38] ouellettesr: Okay, thanks anyway! Bye! [16:38] but it was all f'ed up [16:38] bazhang: indeed nothing [16:38] hey folks,i wanna to get higher than 640x480 resolution in ubuntu 8.04 [16:38] page file was freakin out [16:39] joshua__, so you don't have a default Windows install and you are trying to make one? [16:39] wgrant: Thanks for help. I started with Feisty on a Dell preinstall, went on to Gutsy, and now am into Heron... and things are not as well. I thought Id just start over. [16:39] omer: have you enabled third party software souces? [16:39] yes [16:39] moro: What has gone wrong? [16:39] SliM1, this is hardy right? you might try envyng-gtk to install those [16:39] windows wont reinstall on my old ntfs drive [16:39] amirman84: no [16:40] should i? [16:40] so if i boot into the live cd, and go to terminal and type "gparted" it will give me access to the partition manager? [16:40] mm.. its weird that .kde have default owner to root [16:40] wgrant: various things to do with graphics and it just seems to run much slower. [16:40] joshua__, that is a *bit offtopic for #ubuntu though :) [16:40] u007: You run some KDE application with sudo? [16:40] bazhang, i seem to emember reading a long time ago that envy is evil [16:40] i suppose [16:40] anyone familiar with php cookies? [16:40] but i need to shrink my ubuntu partition that is really my question [16:40] devilsadvocate, this is the new non-bad one ;] [16:40] wgrant - i cant remember .. maybe haha [16:40] devilsadvocate, in the repos [16:40] omer: go to system > administration > software sources and check off the two checkboxes under the third party tab, then check off the checkboxes beside proposed and backports under the next tab [16:40] Hi folks ;) [16:41] bazhang, ah. so much is changing, and yet things keep breaking.

[16:42] hey people... i have a WLAN problem.. I did everything in this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper but nothing works... [16:42] omer: if it doesnt automatically pop up within a minute or two then go to system>administration>hardware drivers and look for your video card driver in there [16:42] amirman84: ok, i am looking [16:42] tom__: How's that different from what you have now? [16:42] how do I join multiple channels on the same network with XChat? In the Network List window it doesn't matter if I write #channel1, #channel2 or #channel1 #channel2, it still only joins the first one [16:42] Sarath: why would you want to ? :) [16:42] !ccsm | tom__ [16:42] tom__: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [16:42] I have CCSM.

[16:45] tom__: rotate cube and desktop cube are independent of eachother, you have to enable them both [16:45] amirman84: system>administration>hardware drivers from here i enabled my card but still the highest res. is 640x480 [16:45] hello [16:45] room [16:45] omer: after you enable the driver you should reboot your machine [16:45] wgrant - thanks a lot :) [16:45] is there any way i could tweak my broadband connection on ubuntu? [16:45] omer: installing the drivers is one of the few times you'll ever need to reboot ubuntu [16:45] Hello, Im on 1024x768 resolution, but it appears HUGE, comparing it to winxp. Every dropdown menu is like half the screen. Is it possible to "change it" with staying on that resolution? [16:46] u007: You're welcome. [16:46] hi again [16:46] amirman84: i know ,i had rebooted machine before i join this channel [16:46] scunizi, Do you have to restart for cube caps to go into effect? [16:46] Wootie: System->Preferences->Appearance, Fonts, Details, DPI.

I changed my cube cpas, but it's still an ugly bland orange [16:47] im supposed to have 384kbps but i think its a lil bit slow that what is said by my isp [16:47] omer: have you rebooted since enabling the driver? [16:47] never happened before something like that with previous versions [16:47] amirman84: yes [16:47] tom__, set a picture in cube caps, for top and bottom [16:47] ¿? [16:47] silver_1968tgp: That's nothing an operating system can fix. [16:47] anyways, I'm happy again [16:47] bye [16:47] ah ic.. [16:47] tom__, I think they're orange by default [16:47] artenius, I did that.. but it didn't change. [16:47] silver_1968tgp: Speed will depend on how far you are from the telephone exchange. [16:47] tom__, oh, that is odd [16:47] well it not a telephone line [16:48] i'm running hardy server and got openssh-server installed. how can i make it run on system startup even without any users logged in? [16:48] omer: you will want to find out about the xorg.conf file and how you can manually put your setting in there. when your driver is enabled but your resolution is still limited, its usually because of the xorg.conf file [16:48] silver_1968tgp: Well, regardless, it will be a problem outside your computer. [16:48] OK, If you go into "Cube Caps' - its' the color that you choose under "appearance" [16:48] its an antenna,motorolla canopy [16:48] Anyway, it's nearly 2am, so I should go. [16:48] How do I enable interactive login for root? [16:48] silver_1968tgp: That's even less reliable speed-wise. [16:48] abkill: You don't want to. [16:49] !sudo | abkill [16:49] abkill: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[16:49] amirman84: yes, you are right, how can make that [16:49] how would i know my exact speed [16:49] I accidentally deleted the wireless connection on the top panel. does anyone know how to bring it back? [16:49] Oh, DUH. I didn't enable it! [16:50] bcroubcose: In the notification area, or the other one? [16:50] i mean is there a way to determine my actual internet connection speed [16:50] what do you mean? [16:50] How to install Mini-Commander? [16:50] bcroubcose: right click on the panel and try add and then look for stuff that is named "network ..." [16:50] wgrant: Thanks for being rude :) [16:50] does installing a distro while windows is hibernated creates a problem? [16:50] I tryed that but its not thr right 1 [16:50] abkill: It is generally a thoroughly bad idea to log in as root. It is heavily discouraged. [16:51] wgrant: Yes, I know this... [16:51] abkill: passwd root [16:51] anyone on Ubuntu 8.04 installed all auto updates ? I had some crashed and things, thinking maybe it's cause of some update... [16:51] omer: when i had a similar problem i went to #compiz and someone in there was nice enough to look at my xorg.conf file and rewrite one for me, I don't really know much about it except that you can manually put all your graphics info in there to tell X how to use your graphics driver, i would recommend googling your graphics card and xorg.conf to see what others have done [16:51] keshavkhera: no you could even delete the hibernate.sys, it's just the content of your ram from your last windows session [16:52] Virtue: This is most unlikely. [16:52] amirman84: ok,thank you [16:52] anyone know how to make sshd run from system startup? [16:52] dgts: It will by default if you install it. [16:53] I downloaded ubuntu desktop now 3 times and keep getting 8895167a794c5d8dedcc312fc62f1f1f as sum in K3b while on the server is other md5 [16:54] esperegu_: Try a different server, or use BitTorrent. [16:54] anyone knows if it is wrong oline? [16:54] bullgard4, okay, I'll trust you... and one thing more - I reinstalled ubuntu today, cause when I downloaded some VirtualBox libraries yesterday my graphics focked up and everything went down... can you advice me a backup soft? or just use default ? :] [16:54] wgrant: the first one was with bittorrent [16:54] wgrant: is there a difference if i install it via apt-get or already selected it to install during hardy server setup? [16:54] Hey all, I'm having a little problem connecting to an ftp server in linux. The program I'm running is just FTP, as I'm not sure if there are any better programs out there. The problem I'm having is its not connecting to the server. when I use the info: ftp2.megaservers.com username: restoretraditionalamerica and I put in my password, It says there was a connection error. When I use this info with CuteFTP in windows, it works fine. [16:54] esperegu_: You sure you're mtching against the right image? [16:54] wgrant: because it seemed like it wasn't running.. [16:54] dgts: The latter performs the former. [16:54] hi, anyone knows of a graphic xspf playlist creator [16:54] is there any way I can configure X from the console ? [16:55] somehow I messed it up and gdm doesn't show up right :| [16:55] wgrant: the md5 I am getting was not listed anywhere [16:55] wgrant: ok thx [16:55] dgts: I performed a server install just three days ago, and the SSH server task installed it properly.

[17:17] i need probably to set up radio=1 [17:17] I know Ubuntu does not have a /etc/modprobe.conf, rather it has a /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.... If I create a /etc/modprobe.con would still attempt to use that as well? [17:18] Glag: does sound work in your browser on non youtube sites ? [17:18] but i do not know where to write that [17:18] xigorx: do you have a tv card with a fm radio on it? [17:18] Glag, known adobe bug [17:18] yes [17:18] and what i need to do? [17:18] bazhang, I wanted to enable an injecting feature on the card, I would be perfectly happy to just go back to the configuration i had before if i knew how [17:19] nope .. still not working :| [17:19] booting is ok ! X doesn't show up .. that's all [17:19] amfibian__, you loaded any extra modules for that card (outside of the failed one) [17:19] i have kradio [17:20] can someone tell me how to get rid of the "unlock" buttons in administrative programs?

[17:21] hi here ! i have an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 Graphic 64MB DDR SDRAM and when i enable compiz ! it block my pc [17:21] alex1, is it on a separate partition or no [17:21] what about me? [17:21] bazhang, it's not. [17:22] how to know which vga driver am using on my box? [17:22] alex1, you could copy your /home elsewhere then copy it back after install [17:23] bazhang, ok i'll do that. thx. would be a nice option in the future tho. i'll submit it to brainstorm [17:23] hi there is there a version of linux I can boot from a 512Mb pen drive similar to a live CD but that I can save some settings on [17:23] When I install Ubuntu, how to I make /home a separate partition? Also does this prevent me having to copy/reload backups of my home directory when I reinstall the system? [17:23] xigorx: I think you that you should put a line "options radio=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/options. Replace with the driver for your card. But I don't really know, so you should probably google a bit more. [17:23] alex1, you can do it if you create a seperate partition at the start ;] [17:23] simotempler: DSL [17:23] amrik: When it loads the partitioner, choose 'custom' instead of 'guided' [17:23] * Erealz hey i just did a fresh install of 8.04 and i have no sound did they get rid of sound support in 8.04?

[17:40] jonalv: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:40] Dmole: On the server, you can go to Server > Administration > Remote Desktop and allow it... then go to Applications > Internet > Vinegre Remote Desktop or whatever and connect to it... [17:40] Dmole: Have you tried that and are having issues? [17:41] damn growisofs .. how can I delete a rw-dvd using growisofs or something ? [17:41] the server is "remote" I can't get to it [17:41] fde: the server is "remote" I can't get to it [17:41] Dmole: Actually, it's "Remote Desktop Viewer" ... I have it disabled as I use Terminal Server Client for VNC [17:41] erUSUL: three of the four (one 32-bit KDE, two 64-bit Gnome) seem to hang when shutting down -- the mouse can still be moved and i can get to text terminals but it won't finish shutting down. typing sudo poweroff (from the hanged state or from Gnome/KDE) shuts it down without a problem. Firefox and Flash are having frequent crashes on two (one 32-bit, one 64-bit, both Gnome). those same two are also completely crashing (can't get to text terminal) seemingly [17:41] or should I just dd if=file.iso of=/dev/scd0 [17:41] 于 [17:42] Dmole: ahh... ssh -Y if it has X running and ssh enabled... [17:42] Dmole: much slower though [17:42] Hi with the help of DcLoco, we at the Peoples MEDIA Center in Petworth NW Washington DC are hosting an UBUNTU training for some of our Media Leadership trainees and instructors... all 10 are pmcgods :) we want to learn GIMP [17:42] fde: I do have SSH to the server [17:42] how do you add widgets on ubuntu 8.04? [17:42] mrkeishii: Can you elaborate? [17:43] i mean [17:43] hi [17:43] like system info. like the ip address, harddisk, etc. [17:44] how do you lower the size of an uploaded photo in Gimp? [17:44] mrkeishii, You can either install gdesklets or screenlets I believe [17:44] mrkeishii: either gdesklets or screenlets ... both will do what you want... if you're using KDE, try superkaramba [17:44] fde: ok what do i do after "ssh -Y "? [17:44] i'm experiencing freezing problems with my vaio + hardy 8.04 - and have no idea what's happening. nothing in the syslogs at the freezing times and google knows nothing - any ideas how to aproach it? my productivity is lost ... :| [17:44] oh [17:44] !Attitude [17:44] did'nt they have the widget Factory? [17:44] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [17:45] tremby: ouch! random crashing is hard to debug ... anything on syslog ( /var/log/syslog or /var/log/messages ) ? i have gnome and 64bits and indeed flash seems to be less reliable that it used to be (but still usable by my standars anyway). Again for the crashing ones any hints on the log or on console when they crash ? [17:45] Dmole: That is X forwarding, it should just work provided it's allowed... http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X-forwarding most of that is applicable. [17:45] heyy guys [17:45] fde: all I have is a normal ssh session as far as i can tell [17:46] Dmole: Yes, that howto tells settings for SSH that you need etc... [17:46] sorry, i just came in and am jumping in the middle, but i had x forwarding issues with ssh in ubuntu when i first started using it [17:46] Dmole: Just ignore everything about USE flags and its packages... you have all that set up correctly :) [17:46] x forwarding is not enabled by default [17:46] how easy would it be to get amarok to work in gnome? [17:47] will01, just install and it works [17:47] thats excellent [17:47] fde: so how do I get a desktop from here? [17:47] will01: sudo aptitude install amarok and go to Applications > Sound & Video [17:47] pmcg_: image>resize ? [17:47] Dmole: you just type what I said in a virtual terminal like gnome-terminal [17:48] anyone know shell scripting, and know how to check if you've got superuser privilegies? [17:48] anyone ideas how to debug or trace down freezing issues with ubuntu + vaio? [17:48] im running kubuntu now, and id like to switch to compiz, and last time i did compiz and kde, i had major issues, so id like to try it with gnome, which i heard was a little easier [17:48] in bash, it works 'echo $UID' but not in the shell script [17:48] Anyone have any ideas why gparted won't let me resize my main partition? It's got something like 60G unused space, but I can't make a new partition... [17:48] whoami smallfoot- [17:48] ／list [17:48] erUSUL: i haven't been able to find anything useful in the logs. after disabling compiz on one machine the random crashes appeared to stop, though (touch wood). when they hang on shutdown i have checked htop (i can still ssh in from elsewhere or control-alt-f1 for a text terminal) and if i kill the top process the shutdown continues. i don't recall exactly what it was [17:48] i'm having compiz issues as well [17:49] but not quite the same [17:49] f0wlie, that doesnt tell if im superuser [17:49] mine just runs extremely choppy [17:49] Compiz really shouldn't have been turned on by default with the 0.7.2 branch... it's probably more buggy than flash. [17:49] oh, on one of my machines the shadows are all magenta too... bizarre. if i try to change their colour or anything they disappear entirely [17:49] anyone have experience with compiz on an X3100? [17:50] youssef, the folks in #compiz-fusion :) [17:50] fde, you're probably right but ubuntu is trying to compete with vista and OSX so it needs eye candy [17:50] ahh [17:50] good call [17:50] * devilsadvocate cries [17:50] thanks bazhang [17:50] ;] [17:50] hello everyone [17:51] Is there a channel for System76?

Was hoping their unification of forums with ubuntu maybe meant they'd gotten a channel up over here too. [17:52] bazhang Thanks. [17:52] doy dl to a folder then choose from themes [17:52] Dmole: it should be the whole desktop by default... I've never seen it give just one app. [17:52] The cube-effect in compiz doesn't let me switch workspaces [17:52] bazhang: right, the themes don't show up in the dialog though [17:52] i drag them on, and it says it was successful [17:52] I can unfold, but arrow keys don't change the workspace [17:52] and they show up in ~/.themes [17:53] doy are they unpacked or in tar.gz format [17:53] tar.gz [17:53] tremby: it seems related to maybe the xserver or video drivers but it is hard to give any advice here [17:53] doy: what bazhang said, or just drag the tar.gz to the window with the rest of the themes, and it should install automatically. [17:53] how long will i have to wait for hardy to work as good as gutsy did? [17:53] fde: right, i know [17:53] i'm saying that they aren't [17:53] is it need to make? [17:53] well [17:53] erUSUL: this is why i was looking for a general upgrade problems FAQ [17:53] they're installing [17:53] but the dialog doesn't seem to recognize them [17:53] doy: Does it say it was successful but doesn't show up, or is there an error? [17:53] SliM1, best stick to gutsy if hardy is bad for you [17:53] it says it was successful [17:54] hi guys i installed real player from the site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealPlayerInstallationMethods#head-b03f8c871759a69a4d6251c4683bca8329b1a679, but there is no icon under application, but synaptic says it is installed [17:54] can anyone help pls [17:54] hey [17:54] doy: go to "Customize" and choose the different parts of the theme that installed. [17:54] bazhang: i should have done that, i thought LTS also meant stability [17:54] i cant dl anything now because my net is backed up [17:54] an iso anyway [17:54] redwhitewaldo: did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[17:59] dunno ... didn't try it .. what's it supposed to do ? [17:59] my desktop icons disapered, but if i go to /home/ubuntu/desktop/ there still there [17:59] SliM1, you could kill them if you wish [17:59] I seem to remember there was a program before that I could use to install some programs that weren't included in the ubuntu sources.

I'm trying to do this, so if the 2 disks fail then I'll have the 3rd single disk for backup [18:53] fde: in1 the virtualbox-ose was marked for kde desktop [18:53] in1: actually 'virtualbox-ose-modules-generic' sorry [18:53] hi, i was wondering if anyone on here could help me with setting up my tablet pc's input device (a stylus) i can't get it to work [18:53] im sorry in1, i misread ;) [18:54] Dawson, reboot. go back to the boot menu. hit F6 (advanced options). at the end of the line, remove the splash and quiet words, and put in ¨noapic¨ instead. try it. if it still crashes reboot again [18:54] babolat: its installed already.. im just trying to figure out how to run it now.. after the package is installed.. any idea? [18:54] in1: dpkg -L virtualbox-ose | grep bin ... will give you a command. [18:54] babolat: its cool no need to be sorry\ [18:54] fde: thanks.. [18:54] in1: it should also be in KMenu > System (I think you said you're running KDE?) [18:55] in1: harder to maintain for you now though... every kernel upgrade will break virtual box for you :( [18:55] Dawson, if ou havent done it yet, try this set ¨noacpi noapic acpi=off nolapic¨ [18:56] And that's in place of quiet and splash, right? [18:56] does anyone know how to rebuild the font cache??? [18:56] fde: shittie... can i remove it and install from repos? [18:56] I mean for example 2 disks 80GB each with raid0, and one disk 160GB with raid1 from the 2 disks of raid0 [18:56] i installed emerald but when i open emerald and manager and click the themes nothing happens and ive done tried emerald --replace [18:56] How can I emulate a CD/DVD drive in Ubuntu to load a .iso ? [18:56] Dawson, yep [18:56] Dawson, you could also replace quiet with verbose to get more info on what exactly may be going wrong [18:56] in1: sure ... 'dpkg -P ' [18:56] How to force usage of xorg.conf? [18:56] anyone has setup red5 on ubuntu 8.4? [18:57] fde: ill try that... Thanks alot !! [18:57] Gohalien, use mount [18:57] Gohalien, you can just mount an iso with ¨mount -o loop path/to/iso path/to/mount/point¨ . i dont know what you mean by emulate. .. [18:57] Gohalien: sudo mount -o loop [18:57] heya again, i'm about to click 'go' on this install, but i want to make sure i'm partitioning things correctly. if i had my old install on `/dev/sdc1`, i'd set that up with a mountpoint of `/` and `yes` to format, and if my `/home` was on `/dev/sdc3/` i'd have that with a `/home` mountpoint and no formatting... correct? [18:57] What is wacom? [18:57] Thanks a lot for your help [18:57] naan [18:57] -_- [18:58] Devilsadvocate, I replaced the text as per instructed, no change [18:58] in1: 'sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic' should give you the same thing... make sure it installs 'virtualbox-ose' in the deps though... [18:58] also, for my `/`, would it be best to use reiser or ext3, or is there even that much difference? [18:58] i-hope-this-nam1 SchneeSchwarz isn't it necessary to add -t iso9660 when you mount iso files? [18:58] i-hope-this-nam1 I think ext3 is a better choice [18:58] lartza_, from what i've gathered its a driver for stylus input devices [18:58] lartza_, it's also a company that makes them [18:59] Could I remove all wacom sitations from xorg.conf? [18:59] Anolis, nothing happens when I put in verbose. It loads the Linux Kernel up to 67% and then hangs forever [18:59] Dawson, are you running any exotic hardware? specifically the chipset you have, perhaps. or do you have a sata hard drive (although most of them work fine now, some need floppies and such) [18:59] Hello experts, I have problem sending a udp packet [18:59] fde: i purged the VirtualBox installation, and it didnt remove two directories.. should i rm them manualy.. [18:59] ok [18:59] lartza_, good luck setting it up.. support for it is seemingly next to none [18:59] ? [18:59] bazhang [18:59] i type gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x0C5A2783 ; gpg --export -a 0x0C5A2783 | sudo apt-key add - [18:59] negge: alright, any particular reasoning there? not made by a convicted murderer? =P [18:59] and after apt-get update [18:59] and it solve the problem [18:59] i installed emerald but when i open emerald and manager and click the themes nothing happens and ive done tried emerald --replace [18:59] =) [18:59] in1: Yes, there should be no traces when you install the new package, else it won't install probably. [19:00] anolis: I'm on desktop pc, I asked could I remove all info about it form xorg.conf (lol) [19:00] fde: and what did you mean that i should check that virtualbox-ose was intalled in deps? [19:00] Assemblage, that was it nice going [19:00] nm i got it [19:00] in the 8.04 installer, how can i define a mountpoint for a partition without formatting the drive? [19:00] i-hope-this-nam1 I don't really know of any advantages/disadvantages of different filesystems, I use ext3 myself and atleast I don't see any reason why someone WOULDN'T use ext3 [19:00] Devilsadvocate, the hardware is pretty standard. I know Ubuntu runs on this machine because I had it going previously. It crashed with me, so I formatted the drive and am now trying to install [19:00] someone can tell me how to install mailserver on ubuntu server 7.10? [19:00] Also tried reburning the iso, no luck [19:00] negge: alright then, sounds good. [19:01] i-hope-this-nam1 if you have an empty partition then why don't let it format it? [19:01] in1: It will be if you do the command I said (aptitude vs apt-get) ... the modules recommend the binaries, but don't depend... so you'd have to install the GUI and modules seperately via synaptic or apt-get [19:01] if it's already formatted and empty you should just add / to "Mount point" === zaggy-nl_ is now known as zaggy-nl [19:01] negge: it's not empty, all my movies are on there [19:01] i-hope-this-nam1 aah [19:01] anyone know why firefox won't load pages anymore? [19:01] what exactly are you trying to do i-hope-this-nam1 ? [19:01] ]/w 16 [19:01] bazhang a tip .. in xchat what is the command to open a new server i know that in irc is /server -m (name of the server) [19:01] bad. [19:01] !server | il_bonsai [19:01] anolis problem with internet connection? [19:01] il_bonsai: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [19:01] but in xchat don't work [19:01] you know? [19:01] Assemblage: /newserver server [19:01] negge, thats definately not the problem lol [19:02] fde thanks [19:02] :) [19:02] Dawson, could you run a media check once, just to make sure the cd is fine. and some things did break in hardy. my resolution is terribly messed up right now, and i dont know what else changed. maybe you had an older version running previously (which would make this something that needs to be fixed in hardy) [19:02] negge: the part that gets me is that when i try to define a mount point (this is with 8.04's GUI installer), i have to choose some filesystem from the "use as" dropdown list in order to un-grey out the mount point option [19:02] Devilsadvocate, what's the best way to run a media check? [19:02] Assemblage press Ctrl + T then connect to the new server with /server [19:02] hey guys... [19:02] . [19:02] !ext3 [19:02] ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [19:02] #marilia [19:02] fde: cool.. im gonna run this command: 'sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-generic', whats aptitude though? [19:03] !reiser [19:03] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [19:03] Dawson, its one of the boot options [19:03] i-hope-this-nam1 are you simply trying to mount a partition or what? [19:03] !thanks [19:03] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [19:03] in1: aptitude is basically apt-get-ng :) [19:03] ubottu i tried to install the ddovecot but theres a little problem couase its package is no longer available [19:03] what a hell ?!?!?! [19:03] il_bonsai: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:03] or do you want to install Ubuntu on the same partition as your movie files? [19:03] !attitude | joe__ [19:03] joe__: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [19:03] negge: nah, simply trying to mount it [19:03] 10x ubottu [19:04] i apriciate that you triedto help me [19:04] módafocker on the rocks! [19:04] i-hope-this-nam1 then you're not supposed to use the installer [19:04] Where do you change the system fonts on ubuntu? [19:04] I have a cd and a usb-stick with the exact same system files on them...now when I start up with the cd, everything starts correct, but when I put in the usb-stick, it says remove the disk or insert a system disk... Any ideas why? They are 100% the same files... [19:04] negge: i fully realize that i could do this after install, but fstab isnt my friend [19:04] Devilsadvocate, am I looking under F4 or F6? [19:04] fde: ok.. im gonna look in 'man' for more info about the command.. Thanks alot fde, you've been a grrrrreat help for me! [19:04] and where can i put a gdm theme/ [19:04] negge: why's that? [19:04] ok [19:04] joe__: Instead of cursing and adding noise to the channel, why don't you explain what's wrong, and we'll see if we can assist you? [19:04] douglas: ~/.themes ? [19:04] i-hope-this-nam1 you have to do it after install, the installers partitioner is only for partitioning the partitions you want to install Ubuntu to (the root partition and swap) [19:04] in1: more than welcome :) [19:04] Dawson, in the main menu. there should be start or install ubuntu, safe graphics mode, and somewhere down there check media for defects [19:04] i-hope-this-nam1 if you don't like manually editing /etc/fstab you can download pysdm, it's a GUI for editing fstab [19:04] negge: ah-so. so... just define my / and /home? [19:05] Hello! I am having a problem with an application after using the "Upgrade Distro" button inside the upgrades. Can someone help? I can't get PAN to load up- it says it's trying to construct some thing that does not exist obviously and fails. I have tried re-install, too. [19:05] negge: pysdm, ill jot that down. thanks [19:05] i-hope-this-nam1 yeah [19:05] just make sure the partition you're installing is empty 'cause the installer will reformat the one you choose to install Ubuntu to [19:06] fde, in order to backup system with duplicity, I need to type source as "/" ? [19:06] negge: it will write over / ONLY, correct? [19:06] fde, or /dev/sda1 ? :] [19:06] Devilsadvocate, I run into the same problem. Entering "Check CD for defects", it gives me a Starting Linux Kernel box, goes up to 67%, and then hanges again [19:06] *hangs [19:06] negge: i have my /home on another partition... i'd like to define that one right now, so i can log in like usual, but i dont want to lose any data therein [19:07] i-hope-this-nam1 I don't know if that's possible with the GUI installer [19:07] Virtue: I think either, I always use the former though. [19:07] is there anyone in here running the 64-bit version of ubuntu 8.04? [19:07] is it ok to ask wine questions here? [19:07] i-hope-this-name: your home wont loose anything, unless you choose to have it formatted [19:07] How to install Mini-Commander? [19:07] fde, okay thankee! :] [19:07] negge: crap. so just install like normal, then use pysdm or gedit fstab to use my old home folder? [19:07] keito_: on the livecd right now, planning to install [19:08] Dawson, i afraid im out of possible solutions :( [19:08] Devilsadvocate, I was afraid of that. :( Any idea where to go next? [19:08] danbhfive: alright [19:08] i-hope-this-nam1 yes install normally [19:08] test3r: I think it's a sign that you need to try liferea ... so much cleaner... although your needs might be too much for it? [19:08] i-hope-this-name: if you set the mount point as /home during installation, you wont need to set it up later in fstab [19:08] i-hope-this-name: can you check if this gets kinda corrupted? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/229002 [19:08] Launchpad bug 229002 in ubuntu "certain characters mess up the GUI" [Undecided,New] [19:08] then you just symlink your /home partition to your /home folder [19:08] one question is possible to change the display of the hd inside ubuntu [19:09] keith80403 I'm running it [19:09] instade apear [19:09] home..etc... [19:09] test3r: Failing that, only answer I have is rm -r .pan an start from scratch again. [19:09] is there a pastebin for images, or should i just use mediafire or something? [19:09] oops wrong nick [19:09] apear like in mac [19:09] applications... [19:09] system [19:09] keito_ I'm running 64-bit hardy [19:09] model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz but proc/cpuinfo shows cpu MHz : 2000.000 why would that be? [19:09] ? [19:09] Dawson, you could try another CD, or maybe even with another version. see if its an 8.10 specific issue. you could also try the alternate cd, although im doubful that will solve it [19:09] !enter > Assemblage [19:09] Devilsadvocate, the alternate CD install is off the Ubuntu website? [19:09] I have a wine question. Some games run just find in wine, and all the graphics run at a good speed, except the mouse moves slow. Particularly in menus, all the buttons and effects run smoothly but the mouse is choppy. [19:09] !enter [19:10] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [19:10] Dawson, no. it has packages instead of the live cd [19:10] im having a wierd problem with X [19:10] the old style install [19:10] keito_: that page glitches out completely for me. [19:10] phoenix5002: try #wine [19:10] danbhfive: thanx [19:10] how do I make Sunday the first day of the week in korganizer? [19:11] sparky01, all x problems are wierd, what's your's... [19:11] Devilsadvocate, where do I get it from / what do I do in terms of the Alernate CD? [19:11] *Alternate [19:11] imaginativeone: try #kde or #kubuntu [19:11] pac1, I have the nvidia geforce 8800gt with the Nvidia proprietary driver. [19:11] how do I congigure my bios so it recongizes usb-sticks as a valid boot unit? [19:12] pac1, and like around ever 10 reboots it doesn't boot normally and goes to Low Graphics mode [19:12] sparky01, I have the nvidia geforce 8400GS with the nvidia propietary drive. [19:12] pac1, it then overwrites my original xorg.conf [19:12] Dawson, you can get it from the website. it should be right next to the one you downloaded last time. again, i very highly doubt it will solve your issue [19:13] I'm doing a do-release-upgrade and there are new configuration files provided by the package maintainers. I have the option to accept theirs or keep mine. Is there any way to merge the two instead? [19:13] Devilsadvocate, thank you so much anyways. What would you do, in this situation? [19:13] join #ubuntu-es [19:13] danbhfive negge: here's what i'm worried about: http://www.mediafire.com/?zdbkmeneb3w [19:13] why is it asking me about a "new partition size" and "use as"? (the partition in question is my old /home, sdc3, which i want to keep.) [19:13] Dawson, bug someone on irc :P [19:13] pac1, then I try to set it back to the basic X config by going to recovery mode and it works, but when I try to turn on the Nvidia driver again it never works. Keeps puttin gme in low graphics mode where the screen is all blurry and jibberish [19:13] someone can help to install a web server pls [19:13] sparky01, that is weird. when it does it, grab Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old and compare them. [19:13] my display is really messed up and when i try to change the screen resolution it says [19:14] Devilsadvocate, any suggestions on who to talk to? [19:14] sparky01, i have the 8600 and tried at first to use the nvidia linux drvs, same issue you're having , i removed them and just use the restricted drvrs and all is well [19:14] pac1, my question is WHY Its doing it at all [19:14] i-hope-this-nam1 what filesystem does the partition use? [19:14] ext3 [19:14] il_bonsai: you can just ask your question. and server support there -->#ubuntu-server [19:14] i-hope-this-name: because you can change it if you want to. Just procede [19:14] hi everyone [19:14] #conky [19:14] sparky01, I don't know. but that's where i'd start. [19:14] negge: ext3. [19:14] i-hope-this-nam1 just click Ok then [19:14] The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available. [19:14] Dawson, not really. usualy someone here can atleast point you to the source of the problem. which version of ubuntu did you have previously? [19:14] danbhfive: alright... this is more of me confirming that it's ext3 than setting up a format, correct? [19:14] SeaPhor, I am using those and its giving me the same problem [19:14] hello, does anybody here speak gentoo? what is the util that performs rc-update? [19:14] what is the new bittorrent client in ubuntu called? [19:15] sidewalk: hardy defaults to transmission [19:15] sidewalk: transmission, but i like deluge better myself [19:15] Devilsadvocate, the same version I was running prior, Hardy Heron (8).... [19:16] babolat: thanks [19:16] phuz try asking your question on the #gentoo channel. It's on this IRC too. [19:16] How do I merge a new configuration file that's being updated through do-release-upgrade rather than having to choose between mine or the new one? [19:16] i-hope-this-name: thanks for testing [19:16] any howto for post-install install tips :-) [19:16] ? [19:17] i-hope-this-name: why do you prefer deluge? [19:17] do I have to configure my usb-stick in some special way in order for it to be regarded as a bootable unit? [19:17] I kinda have a problem with imagemagick's mogrify : "mogrify: no decode delegate for this image format `ScreenShot0000.jpg'." [19:17] negge: could you also please check if the page gets corrupted on your install? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/229002 [19:17] Launchpad bug 229002 in ubuntu "certain characters mess up the GUI" [Undecided,New] [19:17] BluR: does it give you the option to? maybe you should just backup your config file, and let the updater replace, for now, then worry about merging later [19:17] hai [19:17] sidewalk: it's just like it better. it's a nice mix between the sparse layout of transmission and the clusterfcsk of things like azereus [19:18] danbhfive: no it isn't giving me that option. The only issue with that is, the conf file is ssh_config and I'm worrying I won't be able to ssh back in after the changes [19:18] keito_: is it corrupted for you, too? have you tried looking at it in epiphany or konqueror? [19:18] language please i-hope-this-name [19:18] tonymath: i did :) i want to control initscripts. which runlevel which app runs at etc [19:18] * i-hope-this-name nods. sorry [19:18] #compiz [19:18] in gentoo it is `rc-update add foo default` [19:18] i can't join #compiz [19:18] nevermind [19:18] man, its storming outside [19:18] Hi! I just got a new HP-laptop and I installed Ubuntu on it and eveything works fine except that I can't use the built-in wireless network card. The card is: Intel Pro/Wireless 802.11 a/b/g, Broadcom 802.11 b/g [19:19] how do i add my user to a certain group [19:19] i'm having trouble mounting external devices after upgrading to hardy, like usbs, ipods, and external HDs, can anyone help me out? [19:19] i-hope-this-name: i was the one that pasted the characters that corrupted the page, it's been a problem for me since hardy was still in development. it seems to affect all applications, not only gtk [19:19] Do you think I can make it work? [19:19] BluR: i dont think it will kill any running processes, maybe you should just keep yours [19:19] how can i install a .bin in ubuntu hardy [19:19] !wireless | kei-clone [19:19] kei-clone: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [19:19] hi. i've upgraded from hardy to gutsy and now my routed xen domUs can't access the net. are there any known bugs? [19:19] Devilsadvocate; those acpi commands you suggested be put in, do they need to be all at once, or should I try them one at a time? [19:19] BluR: but I know nothing more, sorry [19:19] keito_: very strange. does it affect any other webpages? [19:19] no prob, thanks [19:20] yeah, it affects anything if those characters are written [19:20] Dawson, what is usually done when you dont know whats wrong is thrwo them all in. if it works, then remove them one at a time [19:20] babolat: eh, i wasn't asking about wireless [19:20] keito_: wow. what characters are these, and is there a workaround? [19:20] how do I make an icon on my desktop for korganizer? [19:21] does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux? [19:21] Devilsadvocate; alright, I'll keep tinkering with it in the hopes that something will give. Thank you so much for your help though. [19:21] danbhfive negge: alright, installing now. thanks for your help! [19:21] i-hope-this-name: it seems to be some japanese characters mostly, but i have seen it happen on english websites too, so i think there's more to it [19:21] I'm new to linux, but I could swear in the past that I had typed "sudo apt-get install" followed by an application and it worked, but now it's giving me a syntax error [19:21] kei-clone: sorry.. wrong nick.. was intended for Oddrose.. have u edited your fstab, kei-clone? [19:21] Dawson, sorry i couldnt be of more help [19:21] JewStyleKungFu, what error [19:21] how do I make an icon on my desktop for korganizer? [19:21] i-hope-this-nam1 np [19:22] danbhfive negge: also, switching over from i386 7.04 to x86_64 8.04 isnt going to give me too much trouble if i keep my /home around and reinstall all my apps, correct? [19:22] keito_ I'm not going to install anything so I can't check [19:22] imaginativeone, drag and drop the menu entry and select copy here [19:22] Devilsadvocate, no worries. I'll keep pestering the room. :-P [19:22] it says SyntaxError: invalid syntax and points to the first "t" in apt-get [19:22] keito_: weird. a font glitch? [19:22] what's the package I need to install to have mp3 playback in exaile? can't find it to save my life. [19:22] i-hope-this-nam1 I'm not sure but I don't see why problems would arise [19:22] negge: you don't need to install anything. if you visit the page and it looks corrupted, that's it [19:22] blackvd, ubuntu-restricted-extras [19:22] fde: hey... im trying to use the VirtualBox.. now i have an unused partition that i want to use for this installation of xp.. but its not located on the list given to me... [19:23] i-hope-this-name: I don't know, but amd64 is very buggy, I suggest against it [19:23] pac1, that makes no sense. It seems to be right on the old one but it doesnt work. and the weirder think is that it changed it after working for 10 boots. seems like a bug [19:23] i-hope-this-name: it might be something about the fonts, i've seen them behave differently from what they used to [19:23] babolat: no i have not edited my fstab recently [19:23] danbhfive: oh. it is? [19:23] Can anyone help out; having trouble installing Ubuntu 8, I run off the CD and it loads the Linux Kernel up to about 67% and then hangs on me? [19:23] keito_ it's all messed up [19:23] can some one tell me how to install a .bin file? [19:23] Dawson, did you md5sum the iso [19:23] i-hope-this-name: yes [19:23] kei-clone: you are trying to automount a partition, right?

I would like to create a separate home partition. Is this supported [19:28] ? [19:29] pist0l-fish, yes [19:29] pist0l-fish yes [19:29] pist0l-fish: yes... when it fires up the partitioner, simply choose "custom" rather than the "guided" options... [19:29] Jack_sparrow, I knocked off splash and quite, no change; reburned the CD at 4x, no change.Bazhang, when I remove splash and quiet from the command line, it doesn't show up with any errors. It just loads up to 67% and stalls [19:29] HellOo [19:29] is there a way to reduce how much text (number of characters) under an icon on the desktop? [19:29] can anyone tell me why i got this error : " X server: unable to detect " when installing the ATi driver [19:30] this might be a more abstract question, but where should I put my swap partition to allow for maximum speed? [19:30] Dawson, you can read the scrolling text then? [19:30] hockeymachine: Other than renaming it... no [19:30] somewhere in the middle I'm guessing [19:30] Dawson add ... noapic and acpi=off where you removed quiet and splash [19:30] pist0l-fish: it's not really used much.. but technically speaking.. I don't know. [19:30] pist0l-fish, swap wont make that much of a difference tbh [19:30] okay [19:30] thanks [19:30] pist0l-fish: heh... yes... it would have popped up 'Loading Partitioner... Please wait' ... if you know it's coming it's hard to miss. [19:31] anybody know where the wiki page for remixing a cd is? [19:31] Dawson and please note... if you have huge drives the partitioner is very slow, so dont think it locked up [19:31] all I have to say is that I hope ubuntu is better than openSuSE. SuSE killed me inside [19:31] !uck | andresj [19:31] andresj: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [19:31] fde, a question... on one of my installs i tried the setting /home in manual but after install i still had to edit fstab, i basically had 2 /home dir,,, what did i do wrong? [19:31] how do you find out what kernel you have? [19:31] Bazhang, when I plug the CD in and hit F6, I can see the scrolling text. I take out splash and quiet, hit enter, and then press install. it still hangs. Jack_sparrow, I've experimented with all variations of noapci, including throwing them all in together [19:31] pist0l-fish: It is for things like Package Management... most other things are similar, although Ubuntu is kinder about non-free drivers and codecs. [19:31] thnks bazhang [19:32] vallhalla81, uname -r [19:32] this is probably the wrong channel, but for encoding x264, does anyone have a preference between ffmpeg and mencoder? IIRC they're both multithreaded and 64bit.

[19:32] SeaPhor: You created a new /home instead of just telling it to use the old one probably. [19:32] so can anyone help me get my external devices to mount? right now doing an ls -l in /media shows up only my internal hard drives and nothing else [19:33] in1: yes...

I know it's not a hardware issue because I was running this exact same version of Ubuntu until it crash [19:33] and log into gnome [19:33] SeaPhor: You should have just clicked on the old /home and chose a mount point, but not tell it to format. [19:33] kei-clone: compare that with the output from mount|grep sd [19:33] Jack_sparrow, ok, thanks anyways [19:33] Hello, I've just recently installed Hardy on my home system (new user transitioning from XP).

[20:00] yes that would be a reason too [20:00] allowing some ips to boot off network ( providing boot files via tftpd ) [20:01] or failover redundancy [20:01] yup [20:01] BBishop the binding you can do it in mostly any router, I can do it on my wireless router at least [20:02] where did displayconfig-gtk go in t 804? [20:02] Baby_Shambl3s: you can try 'sudo pkill -9 Xorg' ... then start X again if it doesn't automatically respawn... else I'm sort of lost if there are no errors in the log file. [20:02] reverseblade: nope i have a plain SiS card that doesnt need propietary driver but now x is dead and i have no clue why [20:02] simply [20:02] does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux? [20:02] Baby_Shambl3s: btw, sorry, had a phone call. [20:02] fde: ur back nice will try that in f5 [20:02] my machine keeps booting every 10th time into low graphics and overwriting my xorg.conf. Its a super annoying bug [20:02] Baby_Shambl3s, one good way to tweak out to check log files in /var/log for X.log.0 or something like that [20:03] sparky01: do you want to stop the overwrite by brute force? [20:03] Baby_Shambl3s, or try re installing your drivers [20:03] reverseblade: I already told her that, but apparently there is no error... [20:03] BBishop but reading the ubuntu guide I won't get to know most of the advanced features of the DHCP server :/ [20:03] neither my vid card or my monitor is listed =( [20:03] Baby_Shambl3s, what error do you get when you type, sudo gdm start, or sudo startx [20:03] how come some installes are .bin, while some are .rpm and others are .dev [20:04] and how do i install one thats .bin? [20:04] danbhfive, huh? [20:04] well, because dhcpd isn't made by ubuntu ! [20:04] BBishop, use google [20:04] read the dhcp guide ! [20:04] sorru [20:04] chaqu1: You should never mess with that stuff... just use Synaptic to install things... everything worth having is there :) [20:04] Konam, use google [20:04] reverseblade, don't tell me, tell Konam [20:04] BBishop, sorry [20:04] :) No probloem. [20:05] i'm trying to install a printer on a cups server, but it hangs at the Model/Driver page, can anyone help me with this? [20:05] sparky01: do you want me to repeat? nvm... sudo chattr +i /etc/X11/xorg.conf that will stop it from being overwritten [20:05] chaqu1, you run the bin file. the problem is bin files are excluded from your package manager. You have to maintain the installation manually (forexample you won't be able to uninstall from synaptic) [20:05] reverseblade, fde: startx gives unknow how and some files that are readonly, server error, error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority [20:05] looking for ubuntu 8.04 bcm4318 help! [20:06] When i use GTK 2 themes, i cant use the "color" option in appearance menu. This results ugly panels in some apps, like synaptic [20:06] Baby_Shambl3s: Can you remove that file and try again please? [20:06] * moro thanks for those who helped him get into his BIOS... Ive reinstalled a clean Hardy. Muchos gracias!! [20:06] danbhfive, have you seen this bug before? [20:06] FDE its planeshift its not on snaptyc [20:06] !broadcom | xikarrousx [20:06] xikarrousx: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [20:06] chaqu1: what doesit do? [20:06] ubottu, that doesnt help [20:06] xikarrousx: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:06] fde the game planeshift [20:06] !ubottu | xikarrousx [20:06] xikarrousx: I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [20:06] sometimes ctrl and shift stop working, Ubuntu 8.04 on dell inspiron 1520 [20:06] is it possible im using two Swap partitions on my latest installation of ubuntu? and how do i make sure about it? [20:06] damnit, xmms is gone in 804 [20:07] chaqu1: eh... chmod +x planshit.bin ... then ./planshift.bin [20:07] in1, I don't think it would be possible. Why would you want it anyway ? [20:07] sparky01: no [20:07] it said the id wasnt valid [20:07] fde when i did that [20:07] what should I use now which supports Drag & Drop in nautilus [20:07] any PPC users here? [20:07] Can I alter the way I boot up...Ive always got to go into a setup screen asking me which I want to boot up? [20:07] Baby_Shambl3s, try googleing that error [20:07] chaqu1: Then please read its docs for how to add a valid one... [20:07] is there a easy way to tell my W2K partition I installed Harty Heron and now W2K wont boot I think its my boot.ini file [20:07] is there a java addon for firefox? [20:08] chillance: audacious is a clone of xmms [20:08] fde: you want me to rm -rf that file? will try [20:08] o0Chris0o: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin [20:08] o0Chris0o, java applets are dead long time ago [20:08] !java > o0Chris0o [20:08] Hey my computers being stupid. I just installed EvE. I tried to boot it up and it froze the computer. [20:08] Baby_Shambl3s: -r isn't necessary, but yea. [20:08] fde theres nothing to read on the website, nor anything in the download [20:08] xikarrousx: Ubuntu is not supported on PPC, so I doubt there will be many PPC users. [20:08] reverseblade: i have bash dont have any terminal browser installed [20:08] word... but it exists lol [20:08] chaqu1: If you own the game, call the manufacturer... [20:08] reverseblade: actually you are wrong, I didn't say java applets...java is still around and being used [20:09] reverseblade: i dont want it... i just want to make sure i dont use two swap's becuase i have two installations.. and when i installed the latest one.. i marked a partition as swap.. and there was another partition marked as swap so i was wondering wether its possible it used them both.. i want to make sure it doesnt because im deleting the older installation of ubuntu + its swap space.. [20:09] fde i thought maybe the download was corrupt, so i am redownloading it now through dirrect download [20:09] java seems to be a very popular open-source language [20:09] fde: unable to resolve host, what does that mean? [20:09] fde: i got it via torrent the first time [20:09] Baby_Shambl3s, I see, you can try lynx [20:09] Baby_Shambl3s: does 'echo $DISPLAY' return anything? [20:09] Baby_Shambl3s, or try booting with live CD [20:10] quit [20:10] Baby_Shambl3s: If not... try 'export DISPLAY=':0.0' then startx again [20:10] in1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#head-75ffcb00cefe143fc380f84d7ea9203f16a596d0 [20:12] Baby_Shambl3s: Also, for kicks, remove ~/.ICEauthority too while you're at it, both tend to give the same symptoms and are recreated without harm. [20:12] fde : even knowing I get that there is no such file as .Xauthority jsut tried ls -a in home and cant find it but did find xsession-errors but cat ignore the output as it is too many [20:13] Is there any reason I would do "$ make" and then "$ make install"? Why not just directly do "$ make install"? [20:13] make and make install do different things [20:13] Baby_Shambl3s: tail -n15 it to see recent errors. [20:13] how do I find the WAN ip address of a specific computer? [20:13] Baby_Shambl3s: or less [20:13] Glover: read a tutorial on make to understand why those steps are required. [20:13] helo [20:13] Glover: often, make clean is required before make as well. [20:13] My themes seem to be all broken, if i try to change icons to nuoveXT, it switches to default gnome ones.. [20:13] #php [20:13] Mhmm. [20:14] ehlo ? [20:14] Guess I'll have to read up on it, ty. [20:14] Also the color scheme doesnt work, synaptic looks so ugly like win 95 [20:14] matthew: Care to provide more info about the network? How are the hosts defined etc? [20:14] !hi | Loky [20:14] Loky: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:14] fde, so I made this gnu key, what does it have to do with duplicity anyway ? no matter what I write when it asks to enter (and confirm) the outcome i that error.. [20:14] Andycas: that happens if you install a theme to ~/.themes [20:14] fde: don't know what you're talking about, sorry [20:14] may i ask for some help ? [20:14] fde: regular old home set up [20:14] Loky, sure [20:14] Andycas: synaptic is running as root, so it can't see that directory [20:14] aqui pode falar portugues? to precisando de ajuda com conexao wireless [20:15] fde: tail -n15 gave me nothing but now i cnat type my keys gone funny [20:15] matthew: simplest way is to send an http request to a website like whatismyip.com [20:15] I used a command like this to sync a couple dirs on my system: "rsync --progress -av test testing/" It seems to be working, but I was worried because it's continually saying stuff like: "(xfer#7500, to-check=8088/16823)" and I don't remember it doing that before. Is the to-check part of the --progress switch, or is it a warning? [20:15] hi there, I have just installed ubuntu and I need to get to runlevel 3. It did not ask me for a root password, so I cannot take root. What do I do? [20:15] Virtue: You wanted to encrypt your files... you need a way to decrypt it... else it'd be like a safe without a lock ;) [20:15] !pt | dalcio [20:15] dalcio: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:15] crdlb: I didnt, as far as i know... [20:15] catphish: tried that. has the same IP address for each computer in my house. [20:15] yes [20:15] Andycas: you're using the stock human theme? [20:15] how can you login to the ubuntu gui as root? [20:15] they will all have the same external IP [20:15] catphish: i want the one for a specific computer. [20:15] Baby_Shambl3s: I meant to pipe it through that... so 'cat .xsession-errors | tail -n15' [20:15] andronicus: You don't. [20:15] [bazhang]: ola..posso falar no reservado? [20:15] matthew: most ISPs only give 1 WAN IP [20:15] !sudo | andronicus [20:15] that's disappointing [20:15] andronicus: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [20:16] matthew: they have to share [20:16] bazhang im new in ubuntu, so i just setted up ubuntu server and confused that where are no /etc/init.d/iptables script or something seems like [20:16] catphish: hmm, then how do you identify a specific computer? [20:16] dalcio, /join #ubuntu-pt or -br [20:16] matthew: google NAT [20:16] crdlb: no, i tried using this: http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/node/92 [20:16] fde, I just wanted to make a backup on another drive, and I ended up totally confused making some key I don't even fully understand what for.. [20:16] é que meu erro...nao to conseguindo ajuda..la [20:16] i know about sudo, but is there anyway i can delete protected files without going through the hassle of terminal? [20:16] matthew: internally they're identified by a LAN IP address [20:16] !es | dalcio [20:16] ok..tank´s [20:16] dalcio: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [20:16] andronicus: logging into a GUI as root is always a bad idea on any distro [20:16] catphish: i want externally though [20:16] gracias amigo [20:16] matthew: deliberately impossible [20:16] andronicus: gksudo nautilus (I don't suggest it, but if you absolutely want a GUI...) [20:16] Virtue: I distinctly recall you said you wanted to encrypt a tar.gz .... about 5 hours ago :P [20:17] catphish: then you can't do RDP over the internet? [20:17] quick question pls, would it be easier to setup dual screen with nvidea rather than with ati? [20:17] if you have NAT, you can't make any connections in [20:17] it doesn't matter if it's a bad idea, i am willing to take those risks [20:17] matthew: only out [20:17] fde, lol no wai, I asked what prog is good for backing up - and you said duplicity... [20:17] eyemean: They should both be possible without a lot of hassle, unless you happen to hit at at time when the driver for one or the other is broken. [20:17] !backup | Virtue [20:17] Virtue: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [20:17] Loky, iptables? hardy now has ufw to set that up if you wish [20:18] matthew: you might be able to configure your router to forward the wan ip to 1 specific computer inside [20:18] gksudo nautilus is what i needed, thanks [20:18] Andycas: if you installed it with the theme manager, then ~/.themes is where it went [20:18] erUSUL, ubottu thanks ^^ [20:18] Virtue: ahh... well duplicity is about the best tool for backups too... you just get some security added in so no one tampers with them... it's really easy once you create a key... you should be signing e-mails and stuff with it anyways, to ensure it's really you etc... [20:18] crdlb: oh, ok then it went there, where should i install it? [20:18] to be honest ryanprior, i've been trying to get dual screen to work since gutsy came on with my radeon 9550, then gave up [20:18] crdlb: /usr/shared/themes? [20:18] Andycas: if you want all users to see it, it must go in /usr/share/themes [20:18] yes [20:19] crdlb: ok, what about the icons tho? [20:19] hello, I'm wondering - can I install ubuntu on a separate partition with wubi ? ( basicly, the same as if I would boot the cd ? ) [20:19] eyemean: That sucks. None of the documentation or how-to guides help? [20:19] My MBR was corrupted when I installed Hardy (known issue with Intel MacBook Pro). I've told it where the root partition is and that works fine. How do I tell it to use another partition as /home? [20:19] Virtue: Once you get the key set up, you get many benefits from it... seems complicated, but it's really not [20:19] jinzo: You don't use Wubi for that, you use the LiveCD. [20:19] Andycas: /usr/share/icons instead of ~/.icons [20:19] jinzo, after install you can move it to an lvm [20:19] RyanPrior, I know - but I'm lacking spare CD [20:19] jinzo: Wubi is only for installing within the Windows filesystem. [20:20] CountDown: /etc/fstab [20:20] fde, well I got it [20:20] Is it normal for Pidgin to take up 1.8GB of memory? [20:20] can anyone here help me with installing ubuntu without a bootloader or kernel [20:20] blah, then it looks like I'll need to get a CD :) [20:20] not that i've seen ryanprior, probably dosent help seeing as im new to linux, and dont really know much about it [20:20] hahaha [20:20] jinzo: Install using Wubi for now, then migrate using LVPM later on. [20:20] hoped wubi can help me :D [20:20] fde: just read that file with nano only thing there to do with hos was getinfadrr: host not found or soemthing close but nothing about x [20:20] :/ [20:20] does anyone know of a web gui that can control multiple ppp connections for linux? [20:20] fde: dont tell me ill have to install ubuntu again? [20:20] erUSUL: Thanks. Edit by hand? [20:21] webmin is good with ppp i think [20:21] catphish, unetbootin? [20:21] RLD|XDCC|024 xdcc send #17 [20:21] VLC Error: I can't play .mkv files that have dashes or spaces in the filename. Anybody know anything about this? [20:21] Baby_Shambl3s: Shouldn't have to... did you remove ~/.ICEauthority ? You said you had no ~/.Xauthority ? [20:21] bazhang thanx, i'll try to use ufw :) [20:21] salvo, dont do that [20:21] CountDown: if you have your home already on a separate partiton just edit the file and add a line by hand [20:21] ok cool, tnx RyanPrior :) [20:21] fde: didnt remove that will do now [20:22] unetbootin looks interesting, i dnt have windows tho [20:22] jinzo: LVPM doesn't work with Hardy Heron yet, but it will soon hopefully. [20:22] bazhang: unetbootin looks interesting, i dnt have windows tho [20:22] Baby_Shambl3s: Worst case scenario, you might have to remove config files for flux etc... trying to avoid that though, there is no reason this should have happened based on what you described. [20:22] catphish: Do you have a CD drive and BIOS? [20:22] catphish, there is also the minimal installer (9mb iso) [20:22] erUSUL: OK, thanks. [20:22] i want a full install, i just dont want it to install the kernel or bootloader [20:23] i plan to boot it with xen later [20:23] catphish: You can't use Linux without the Linux kernel, sorry. [20:23] no kernel? [20:23] catphish: You dont want it to install a kernel? [20:23] Flannel, bazhang: kernel will be outside the installatio [20:23] Baby_Shambl3s: Once both of those are gone... 'startx -- :0.0' (should show up on alt+f8) [20:23] fde: i cnat remove anything, it doesnt recognise me o_0 sudo wont work :/ [20:24] f7 even [20:24] catphish: Well, you'll just have to overwrite it then. as for the bootloader, any non-desktop CD installation method will allow you to install no bootloader [20:24] how do i delete a partition sda5+6 when i use currently sda7+8? [20:24] fde: i ahve no clue where .Xauthority comes from since its not in home and ice i cant remove since sudo doesnt recognise host which is me [20:24] can i install it with a kernel the just "apt-get remove" it? [20:24] catphish: I suggest just using the alternate install CD and installing the kernel along with all the other packages, then removing the kernel afterwards. [20:25] catphish: Yes, we're on the same brainwave now. :-) [20:25] Baby_Shambl3s: reboot and add a '1' to grub when it says Starting OS 3 ... 2...1 'e' to edit ... 'b' to boot with changes. [20:25] RyanPrior: thanks, i just dont want the automatic updates wasting bandwidth updating it [20:25] can you help me ??? [20:25] that sounds very dangerous and mildly offtopic here [20:25] Baby_Shambl3s: That'll get you root back, make sure /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname match please. [20:25] catphish: The kernel isn't a very large package, actually. Don't worry about it. [20:25] RyanPrior: once its installed it i can boot it with an existing xen kernel, then remove the default one [20:25] contact me [20:25] fde: wat line do i add 1 and what if it doesnt match [20:25] Baby_Shambl3s: kernel line [20:26] catphish: Have you used xen before? [20:26] Baby_Shambl3s: in /etc/hosts ... .whatever has to be the same as what /etc/hostname returns, else sudo hates you. [20:26] fde: what if it doesnt match do i delete it or change it? [20:27] RyanPrior: i use xen heavily, i've written a deployment gui for it, but the ubuntu i use on it currently was downloaded from jailtime.org [20:27] fde: yah that last art might be true, will try right now brb [20:27] fde, it's written FTP and stuff, but how to save backup on my hdd ? I tried this and that, but don't understand how... and don't see it written anywhere [20:27] crdlb: hey? It didnt work, i still get the default gnome themed icons...

[20:33] launch as default media player for those file types, storage system is Ext3, default english language settings [20:33] when I change the names it works [20:34] but it's a real pain to do that for all the vids in my library [20:34] i need some help guys/gals .. how do i delete a partition sda5+6 when i use currently sda7+8 [20:34] in1: have you tried Gparted/Partition editor?

[20:37] DefineByte: «gksudo displayconfig-gtk» choose radeon driver and desired resolution [20:37] sure, how do I do that? just copy over what it says in error messages?

I added the script to System > Pref > Sessions, but when it runs it ALWAYS returns the used memory as 192.4 MB, no matter what. I can run the script from the command line, and it works fine. What am I missing? [20:37] fde: I know I CAN rename them to solve the issue, but the thing is I don't want to [20:37] Baby_Shambl3s: does hosts have the same computer name? [20:38] Hey. On my pc, I can push apostrophe (') and then e, to get an e accent aigu (é) but my father can't. I've checked our keyboard properties, but with the same configuration he still can't use this style of typing accents. How can I enable this? (Hardy) [20:38] fifthrune,RyanPrior,Lynet, ill adress my question to the three of you: im trying to delete sda5=swap + sda6=ext3 (both of an older installation of ubuntu) my current installation is on sda7+8 swap+ext3, when i tried to delete one of the sda5+6, it msged me: "Unable to delete /dev/sda6! Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6 [20:38] so I'm still trying to play dvd's with xine, but it's still not working properly [20:38] erUSUL: Okay, I'll try that. I thought ati was meant to be used. :) [20:38] * hawkeyex scratches his head puzzedly [20:39] The source can't be read.

[20:40] in1: use GParted, unmount both partitions, then delete [20:40] fde: yay :D than why cnat I get x or even gnome session? [20:40] graham: [20:40] in1: Ah. When deleting partitions, any "higher" partitions will change names. So you'd have to boot from CD before you can delete those partitions. [20:41] hello. what sound system does flash use? [20:41] Hey, encountering an error when I try to install Ubuntu 8.04, the Loading Linux Kernel dialogue appears and runs up to 67%, then hangs. Help, anyone? [20:41] crap, did I miss anything? [20:41] Baby_Shambl3s: X is why you can't get gnome-session going... currently I'm baffled as to why X isn't working. [20:41] andresj: install libflashsupport to get sound on flash in hardy [20:41] Baby_Shambl3s: can you please paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log to paste.ubuntu.com ... maybe you overlooked something. [20:41] !flashsound [20:41] Factoid flashsound not found [20:42] erUSUL: I alreay have sound in flash :D [20:42] lynet: would it affect my current installation? and how do i use this GParted through installation Desktop cd? (just gparted in a run box?) [20:42] erUSUL: but i dont know what sound system does it use [20:42] andresj: alsa i guess [20:42] fde: my last session in flux i used trans.. might have added a script to start conky even knowing flux startup file also call out conky could that be the problem [20:42] andresj: That's the point of that package... it's for the sound system hardy uses. [20:42] xine extra plugins is greyed out [20:42] why? [20:42] hey all [20:42] Selecting the radeon driver has made no difference. I'm still stuck in low graphics mode. :'( [20:42] fde: how do i copy and paste in bash especially in nano: [20:43] in1: gparted is on installation cd (at least on 8.04). You might have to edit /etc/fstab. [20:43] anyone uses the abi.* kernel included on the liveCd ? how does one boot it? what menu.lst entry you put? [20:43] erUSUL, fde: is there a way to configure the sound of a specific flash instance? (mainly left-right channels) [20:43] can anyone point me to any resources in regard to my THRM temp always being 40 C? [20:43] xyberpix: 40C is a good temperature, don't worry about it. [20:43] how exactly does VLC interpret files based on filename anyway? shouldn't it depend on the .extension? [20:43] anyone have experience on building their own gnome? I'd like to make gnome accept bluetooth object pushes from whatever sender... [20:43] Ryan it never changes though? [20:44] Is there a command to use to show what graphics card X has detected? [20:44] xyberpix: You mean, the sensors are malfunctioning or something? [20:44] Running into an installation error when loading through the LiveCD of Ubuntu 8.04; the Loading Linux Kernel Dialogue hangs on me. Any ideas? [20:44] fifthrune: Hmm.. file:// url looks ok as far as I can see. I am guessing this is an issue with vlc not properly handling %xx in file urls. [20:44] DefineByte: lspci [20:44] fifthrune-> in linux the extensions are not normally used [20:44] hi, got unusual problem, i installed fresh version of ubuntu 8.04, and installed tvtime, but wen i start it nothing happen, the program dosent even start [20:44] lynet : that looks a bit dangy.. yikes, dont want to corrupt my current installation.. [20:44] DefineByte: and glxinfo [20:44] fde: you there? [20:44] Baby_Shambl3s: Sounds like that'd start 2 conky's ... I don't actually recall how to paste in screen, maybe someone would be kind enough to tell you? [20:45] Lynet: so you think there's anything I can do about it? [20:45] eyemean-> ps aux|grep tvtime and see if its running [20:45] andresj: I don't think so no... that is just so it doesn't try to bypass pulse [20:45] fde: yeah but no one hasnt so im guessing they dont know or maybe i should ask in general, will try that [20:45] :( :D [20:45] in1: You could use gparted to resize sda5/6, make them really tiny. Then enlarge sda7/8 to use the extra space. [20:45] RyanPrior: glxinfo says 'direct rendering: no'. Is that significant? [20:46] Ryan, not too sure, thought that it would at least change occasionally, but it's constant 40C? [20:46] Baby_Shambl3s: sudo aptitude install screen .. man screen ... /paste [20:46] how do i copy & past text in bash and does ubuntu have a default text browser? [20:46] after gutsy->hardy upgrade firefox says "site not found" for ALL websites, why? (other browsers work, offline mode is not on, there is no proxy set) [20:46] DefineByte: Yes - it means your 3D accell is disabled [20:46] vega: do you have an active connection? [20:46] fifthrune: Complain/ask/bugreport/pester the vlc devs, I guess. ;-) [20:46] Lynet: great :) Oh well. Thanks though. [20:46] lynet: hmm... that looks mighty lazy.. i think ill grab on to this one.. [20:46] fifthrune: active as in my network works? yes, i can use links, lynx, thunderbird etc. just ok [20:46] fde: I cnat use sudo im unrecognised unknown host bo sudo commands will wrok its puzziling [20:46] nah its not running amenado [20:46] DefineByte: That simply means you don't have direct rendering set up yet. When your driver is working that should say "yes" probably.

[20:47] Baby_Shambl3s: I'm starting to thnk you should just reinstall... you hosed that system pretty bad it seems like [20:47] fifthrune: 3.0, hardy default [20:47] RyanPrior: well something's definitely wrong as I can't get out of 800x600 >.< [20:47] try 2.0 (it's in the repo, won't override 3.0) and see if that works [20:48] just to make sure there's nothing wrong with the whole mozilla system [20:48] Baby_Shambl3s: emacs terminology... c^ in any cli app = hit ctrl and type [20:48] Hey, I'm running into an error when I try to install Ubuntu 8.04 off the LiveCD; the Loading Linux Kernel Dialogue starts and then hangs on me...any ideas? [20:48] Someone help me, if I try to use any propetary restricted driver for my geforce 8400, the gui will not load (it blanks after the ubuntu logo has loaded). Ive tried the packet manager, and envy, same result [20:48] Baby_Shambl3s: how you copy and paste is totally dependant on which terminal emulator you're using [20:48] Thanks Lynet.. [20:48] fde: yup i seem to be breaking 8.04 without knowing how gutsy was freaking awsome this one i have a lot of doubts about it, Vista might be more stable than this [20:48] .quit [20:48] fifthrune: hmm, little suspicious if i've already run 3.0b5, how much stuff has it converted in .firefox ? settings etc. [20:48] Dawson: perhaps you have faulty memory? [20:48] will they work with 2.0 [20:48] RyanPrior; how could I tell? [20:48] Baby_Shambl3s: Install Hardy fresh... I haven't had any issues with it! [20:48] Dawson: try running memtest86 [20:48] Baby_Shambl3s: gnome-terminal? [20:48] zerodamage: me too :) failsafe gnome works, but still its not loaded properly [20:48] fifthrune: Anyway, special characters in file names (don't get me started on silly non-US-ASCII bugs) is an issue that unfortunately rears its ugly head now and again. Only way to fix them all is to make sure bug reports get filed when they show up. [20:48] 2.0 should have all the settings it had when you were in Gutsy [20:49] Myrtti: x died, sudo wont work cause it dont recognise the host, im newb can you try and help us out [20:49] Myrtti: nope pure bash [20:49] RyanPrior; is that off the LiveCD, or a 3rd Party App? Currently I have no OS on my machine... [20:49] Lynet: should I go to VLC forums to report it then cuz I didn't see a bug report link in program [20:49] Baby_Shambl3s: eygh. [20:49] Dawson: that's on the LiveCD. :-) [20:49] Baby_Shambl3s: Her X is broken... her sudo access is gone... etc... she'll need to reinstall cuz the normal fix to get sudo back appears to not be applicable. [20:49] Anyone help me im trying to duel boot Vista and Ubuntu64. During installation ubuntu sees my raid 0 drives as 2 separate hard drives. [20:50] Myrtti: ^^ [20:50] RyanPrior; awesome, would you happen to know where? [20:50] No, so Ive tried 8 times now, manual and automatic install, and each time it blanks, and I have to reset xorg.conf [20:50] Baby_Shambl3s: sorry [20:50] fde: you have been fortunate but if i install it fresh it will be my forth time or fifth [20:50] fde: what's the "normal fix"?

[20:51] Baby_Shambl3s: you have to edit your /etc/hosts and make the first line read "127.0.0.1 localhost «yourhostname»" [20:51] Dawson: It used to come up as an option in the main menu. Does it not anymore? [20:51] Baby_Shambl3s: boot to single user (hit esc when grub loads) [20:51] Baby_Shambl3s: then check what erUSUL said [20:51] How do you make ubottu list more matches when it says "and 6 more"?

[20:52] Baby_Shambl3s: also make sure the second is "127.0.1.1 «yourhostname»" [20:53] Dawson: failed tests. [20:53] RyanPrior; that would make sense. :-P Will let you know how it turns out.

[20:53] Dawson: note that it runs for as long as you'll let it - the longer you run it, the more sure you are that you don't have memory defects. [20:54] fde, that is because you have two network cards, right? [20:54] Can anybody tell me why I cant watch anime streaming [20:54] erUSUL: I need sudo access for that no sudo no fail safe wait let me check on that wil restart see if failsafe in grub works *croses fingers* [20:54] fde: mine works without hotname on the first line (it is like yours) but i have see other people fix it with the steps i gave [20:54] jokoon: your mic is muted? [20:54] RoAkSoAx: no [20:54] RyanPrior; ah, ok. Test % went from 1-100, then back to 1 again. How long would you recommend waiting? [20:55] Can anybody tell me why I cant watch anime streaming [20:55] Dawson: I usually give it at least 10 minutes, or if I'm testing new RAM, an hour or so. [20:55] What package is the open source ati driver located in? I might as well try reinstalling it. [20:55] what is the default runlevel for ubuntu ? [20:55] ttmontoya: No, we cannot tell you why that is. [20:55] SimplySeth: 2 [20:55] erUSUL: The fact that hostname and localhost are different IP's makes me wonder whether it was sound advice... there has to be some reason that they are different. [20:56] RyanPrior; thanks so much. I'll let you know how it turns out - if it is a memory issue; does that require a hardware fix, or is there a workaround? [20:56] (having said that, the restricted binary doesn't work either. >.>) [20:56] can you help me fix it [20:56] Dawson: if it's a memory issue, you'll need to buy new memory.

[21:01] graham, just give us all the info you have in 1 post so everyone has the oppertunity to help [21:01] agro1986: gparted or kparted [21:01] so, quick query, anyone know how risky it would be to resize a reiserfs partition [21:02] ??? [21:02] SimplySeth: Yep :> [21:02] graham, you can edit menu.lst and add it manually [21:02] cmdbbq: Risky enough that you'll want to have backups of any mission-critical data. [21:02] fde, yes i believe it does [21:02] fde ubuntustudio Gutsy on a thinkpad g40 [21:02] Is it normal for Pidgin to take up 1.8Gb of memory? [21:02] graham: There is an Examples section in /boot/grub/menu.lst ... uncomment it (remove the #'s) reboot and see if it'll boot. [21:02] after gutsy->hardy upgrade firefox says "site not found" for ALL websites, why? (other browsers work, offline mode is not on, there is no proxy set), 2.0 experiences the same [21:02] RyanPrior thanks that is what i figured [21:02] weird, is gparted not installed by default? because it's on the live CD, right? [21:02] cmdbbq: very dangerous .. there is a good chance you might succeed .. and slight chance you might destroy your data :) [21:02] seems it as probems with dns [21:02] the problem is i cant access the drives becuase i think their ntfs [21:02] hey there === giumas is now known as sanciopanza [21:03] and they are raid0 [21:03] graham, ubuntu can access ntfs file systems no problem [21:03] graham: install ntfsconfig :) [21:03] usser: I only ask cuz apt-cache show flashplugin-nonfree-pulse doesn't return anything... the package is there, but that info isn't... it'll be handy if it does. [21:03] but they are the kind of raid that needs windows XP to be running, i think [21:03] fde, oh yea hm it wasnt installed on my comp so i guess advice is to apt-get libflashsupport thanks for noticing that [21:03] hi, any idea why gnome stops working on midnight? [21:03] fde, erUSUL: ahve no clue what happened when I went to failsafe in grub tried option fix xorg which failed and rm -rf xorg.conf which also failed but some how on restart ive gotten back to flux, everythign is the same as I left it o_0 what is going on? [21:03] when i open up disk manager it says they are 2 seperate unallocated drives [21:03] fde : it didn't, I put those and it doesn't chance anything [21:04] hey there [21:04] Sounds stop working, firefox crashes and refuses to start again (shows up in the system process, though= [21:04] and generally the computer needs a reboot [21:04] graham, you need a raid compatible pice of software (not necessarilywindows) [21:04] jokoon: Then I'm not sure, that is the usual reason for hearing static. [21:04] ijusten: prolly somethin' goofy with powersave mode .. just an idea [21:04] graham: As far as I know, it's difficult for Windows software RAID to be usable by Linux. If you want a cross-compatible RAID array, you'll probably need to use a hardware RAID controller. [21:04] So after installing Ubuntu while inside windows... how do I actually get in to ubuntu? [21:04] SimplySeth, I'm usually at computer at that time. [21:04] i want to upgrade my server from ubuntu 5.04 to 7.10 [21:04] ? [21:04] How would I disable this? [21:05] fde : it some very loud static like a big shhhhhhhhhh === chris_ is now known as CyberCr33p [21:05] well is there anyway i can only reconfig my grub, so it will recognize my windows XP upon boot [21:05] ** it wasn't a question ... the real one is how can i do it [21:05] WiglyWorm, just boot up the computer, there should be a preference menu up about five second that should let you switch to ubuntu [21:05] hi all [21:05] ijusten: .. system menu .. preference .. power save .. mebbe .. dunno [21:05] fde, erUSUL: ahve no clue what happened when I went to failsafe in grub tried option fix xorg which failed and rm -rf xorg.conf which also failed but some how on restart ive gotten back to flux, everythign is the same as I left it o_0 what is going on? any ideas how i cna check what the heck previously happened? [21:05] That's what I thought. [21:05] fde: flashplugin-nonfree-pulse is the name of the Debian unstable package. [21:05] That is not coming up. [21:05] WiglyWorm, inside windows, theres also a window where you can set the ubuntu boot option as number uno [21:05] WiglyWorm: When you install Ubuntu using Wubi, it adds an "Ubuntu" item to your Windows boot loader, which will show for about 3 seconds when you're booting up the computer. During that time, choose which one you want to load - Windows or Ubuntu - and the bootloader will take you to your login screen. [21:06] alecs: Go with Hardy, it's an LTS... but you have to upgrade to 5.10 and 6.04 first... then you can skip to 8.04 [21:06] fde: libflashsupport is the name of the Ubuntu package providing a superset of the Debian unstable package's functionality. [21:06] fde, wow now that i look thru repos it is indeed not there, but i've seen it a couple of days ago [21:06] The boot loader doesn't show. [21:06] fde : it some very loud static like a big shhhhhhhhhh, like when you decode some random file as an mp3 [21:06] SimplySeth, didn't see anything there that would tie to midnight or clock in general [21:06] WiglyWorm: Have you completed the Wubi installation yet? [21:06] ijusten: .. then I have no idear :-/ [21:06] fde. but how do i update ... because 5.04 is not supported anymore [21:06] hi guys... I need some help in installation of hardy... I have got the repository of hardy heron on my hard disk 21+ GB ... I just have to update using " apt-get dist-upgrade " .. I am a bit worried about few things [need to backup drivers ? etc etc ].. if anyone can help me on that... [21:07] Did linux-igd or upnpd stop working for anyone on upgrade to Hardy? [21:07] I think so? apparently not. [21:07] crimsun: Hmm, thanks for clarifying... [21:07] i think when i tried to install ubuntu, i messed up and it put grub bootloader on my NTFS silimage windows raid0 drives [21:07] WiglyWorm: Try uninstalling it and installing it again. [21:07] Do I have to do something after it prompts me to reboot? [21:07] slaxaxe: what are you runnin' now ? [21:07] so i think i need to reconfigure grub to recognize the windows XP upon boot === elektronik123456 is now known as elektronik123 === spass is now known as gorbaczow [21:07] WiglyWorm: No, at that point it should be ready for you to reboot, and the boot loader should show right as the computer starts up.

My computer just locked up and the kernel froze (numlock stoped changeing and magic sysrq did nothing) and i had this [21:16] once before [21:16] Flannel: as i said before ... i do not have the CD ... (is 11:16 PM here ) [21:16] fde, alecs, that upgrade is supported, and there's more steps than just that.

[21:43] jambon:that has me stumped, i wish i had an answer [21:44] salah_, sudo apt-get remove transmission [21:44] SeaPhor, nope, Windows doesn't do that sort of stuff. It's the do you want to go into: "safe mode", "last good configuration", "normal" etc. [21:44] ya, it seems most of my problems are something like that [21:44] bardyr: ubuntu-desktop depends on it [21:44] can any of you good sirs/madams point me to the ubuntu way of getting the non-free codecs?

I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and for some reason... whenever I reboot I have to reconfigure my xorg.conf file. Do I need to chattr it or something? [21:45] roboto: oh, file browser.. i am sorry [21:45] Good afternoon everyone... I have an issue with my Ubuntu 7.10, and I have the same issue on two seperate machines both running 7.10. For the last two months I have not been able to ctrl alt F1 or f2 or whatever to access any other ttys. It tells me resolution not supported, and I cannot do it during boot up either [21:45] Ashfire908: i tried making a symbolic link, but it doesnt show up when i connect from another computer [21:45] ArthurArchnix: but sometimes if you remove a package you end up removing packages that were automatically installed to meet dependencies+ [21:45] thanks. [21:45] salah_, remove transmission-gtk, sorry [21:45] soap: No ideas? [21:45] after gutsy->hardy upgrade firefox says "site not found" for ALL websites, why? (other browsers work, offline mode is not on, there is no proxy set), 2.0 experiences the same as does thunderbird [21:45] bardyr, the thing is that transmission removes ubuntu-desktop too [21:45] otherwise my network works, it [21:45] I am trying to drag and drop a dll file that I downloaded using the file browser into a wine directory and it says I do not have permission, how to I move the file form my desktop into the correct directory? [21:45] Oh, well. I guess I'll just boot into Windows. It seems awfully silly to reboot just to get some photos off the camera, tho. [21:45] RabidToaster, not one I want to recomend w/o someone else's input. [21:45] salah_, transmission-gtk removes fine without any dependencies [21:46] just all mozilla stuff seem broken [21:46] RabidToaster, under Safe Mode, etc, in the windows menu, along with start normal, and last known... is there anything that says VGA...? (i've seen this before in XP) [21:46] salah_: that's right; you just gotta figure out how to remove ubuntu-desktop without removing the packages ubuntu-desktop depends on [21:46] I know how to remove it, but I will keep rest of the applications... yeah it suddenly works now.. thanks [21:46] SeaPhor: I'd have to check. [21:46] salah_, but im on Intrepid Ibex and that can be why, but i dont think so [21:46] PovAddict: True. Depending on how it was installed. But if you tell it to remove transmission, and then it says it has to remove ubuntu-desktop, then it's safe to do so. If, after doing that it says there are 150 unneeded apps ready for auto-removal, you just type "sudo aptitude keep-all" [21:46] how do I get Flash? do I need to add some repo?

For the last two months I have not been able to ctrl alt F1 or f2 or whatever to access any other ttys. It tells me resolution not supported, and I cannot do it during boot up either [21:47] jquest, check that proftpd is allowing symlinks? [21:47] and 64-bit kubuntu [21:47] salah_: if you do not mind the terminal, try aptitude, and skip removing of the other dependencies of ubuntu-desktop by pressing '+' on the header of the corresponding group in the confirmation screen... but probably there is another (more standard) way to achieve the same effect [21:47] I'm new to ubuntu and can't get remote desktop server to work...can someone help? [21:48] andi5, can you give me a example command of the + operator? [21:48] I am really lost here on getting Ubuntu to recognize my RAId. Can someone help?

[22:03] i need to learn programming, [22:03] barfman_, search synaptic, I think that there are some tools beyond syntax highlighting... [22:03] WiglyWorm: anyway, i still do not understand what you are trying to achieve [22:03] dawson:how much ram do you have? [22:03] PovAddict, why is that? [22:03] biouser: http://warp.povusers.org/grrr/java2.html [22:03] synaptic?

If it generates these files" ... i suppose it did not? [22:04] hello, plz help me, i have an empty face browser when i want to login [22:04] Pici: That directory does not yet exist, should I create it? and then, do I put the *.ko file itself, or a symlink to it? The actual command is "modprobe ath_pci" to get my wifi card working [22:04] ohhh right, synaptic, haha, i'm more of the apt-cache and grep kinda guy. [22:04] it happened after a freezing [22:05] WiglyWorm: maybe you ignored some error message further on? [22:05] /msg ubottu etiquette [22:05] cdeszaq: Its not a directory, its a file, and you just put the module name in the file. [22:05] andi5: dd does know about files ... it's written in straight libc and is quite portable. [22:05] PovAddict: thats goos to know [22:05] barfman_, I really like Haskell for maths [22:05] SeaPhor, no luck. [22:05] has someone updated from gutsy to hardy withput problems ?

[22:06] Encoutering an error when trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 from the LiveCD; the Load Linux Kernel hangs after loading halfway.... [22:06] dawson:insert the cd again, make sure its clean [22:06] AnswerGuy: hmpf, yes, but it does not try to "mount" file systems "inside" block devices, if/of files or whatever [22:06] Pici: Thank you [22:06] what's the most "complete/compatible" free Flash? I'm on amd64, so I can't use the nonfree... and if it works good enough, I'd surely prefer a free one :) [22:06] jlc: what is the output of "id"? [22:06] and does hardy offer any good reason to upgrade (new kernel dosent count) [22:06] Does there exist documentation similar to the "Platform SDK for Windows" in the linux environment? If so, how do I install? [22:06] RabidToaster, hmmm, so have you flashed the bios? [22:06] andi5: the command you told me outputs "ls: cannot access *.dat: No such file or directory" [22:07] cdeszaq, no, thank you [22:07] Thiebaude; no dice. :( I inserted the CD and even reburned another .iso running at 4x [22:07] SeaPhor, nope [22:07] Well, I'll try it again from the beginning I suppose. [22:07] andi5, I'm a newby, please be more specific. [22:07] RabidToaster, do you know how? [22:07] In general the only sorts of "unkillable" processes in Linux or UNIX are zombies (which are already dead; entries in the process table used to store the exit status) and "wedged" (D state --- processes which are in "kernel context" in a system call which has marked them as TASK_UNKILLABLE) [22:07] SeaPhor, roughly, yes. [22:07] jlc: are you couf?. ... can you write to your home directory at least? [22:07] dawson:you burnt the cd? [22:07] AnswerGuy: and those trying to read from a broken FUSE filesystem ;) [22:07] Dawson, checked the md5? That was my problem. :P [22:07] Hi, Im dying to switch to ubuntu, only thing that doesnt work is the S-Video out on my laptop, intel 965gm x3100 graphics card (its a compaq 6710b) laptop.. no luck with xrandr.. it detects the TV.. anyone have any experience with this issue? [22:08] RabidToaster, do you have your xp oem or retail cd? [22:08] bbl [22:08] SeaPhor, I have an OEM CD. [22:08] In all my years as a sysadmin and teaching systems administration I've only ever found one situation where processes listed in "S" state were unkillable (and were, in fact zombies which had been left in "S" state by a kernel bug) [22:08] Anyone know of any documentation regarding the changes made in Hardy with respect to xorg.conf. The video card section is vastly different, but I see no explanation of how Hardy is determining card, driver, options; what files it reads, where it stores this info (if not xorg.conf) and how to edit it. [22:08] Thiebaude; yep, downloaded the Intel-version of the install file and burned it. RabidToaster; I currently have no OS on my machine; is md5 off the LiveCD? [22:08] Hi. I just installed Ubuntu on hda1. I usually Boot Vista from my Raid system sda/sdb. What ist the most simple way to create a boot menu for both OSs ? [22:08] dmraid -b [22:08] doh! [22:08] prompt is still over here... [22:08] hey together - I have a question how I can config keys with hardy/gnome - Wlan on/off - some Ideas ?

[22:09] realhans: GRUB [22:09] !grub @ realhans [22:09] cdeszaq: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:09] ArthurArchnic: im interested in the same info, my s-video out doesnt work :( [22:09] !GRUB [22:09] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:09] cdeszaq: ok i google for it ... [22:09] mindracer: I've trolled the forums a fair bit, community documentation, can't find anything yet. [22:10] RabidToaster, i would flash the bios and if that doesn't get it back i would do a 2nd repair,, maybe easier solution but not being there i cant think of it [22:10] realhans, it is pretty intelligent, should be able to spot the OSes that you have installled automatically when you install ubuntu [22:10] Hi, how can I create a direct network, pc to pc, using ubuntu ?? what is the step by step ?? [22:10] arthurarchnix: yeah i know.. ive found a couple things, only thing i didnt try is an intel driver from www.intellinuxgraphics.org, but i dont know abotu doing that, im a newbie [22:10] andi5: it tells me to do "dmraid -rD" and look for the output files. My output is "no RAID disks". I presume that fromt here I should go on to the fdisk command? [22:10] SeaPhor, I think I might as well back up my documents and reinstall XP. [22:10] mindracer: what's your graphics card? [22:10] biouser: ok ... thanks to all who helped and read ... [22:10] SeaPhor, thanks anyways. :) [22:11] ich kann Skype nicht installieren bei ubuntu 8.04 Hilfe [22:11] RabidToaster, do you know how to do the 2nd repair off of the oem cd? [22:11] arthurarchnix: what video problem do u have.. i have an intel 965gm x3100 integrated to my compaq 6710b laptop [22:11] does anyone know of the existence of a gpg key for the skype repository for ubuntu/debian? [22:11] SeaPhor, nope. [22:11] WiglyWorm: expect me to know nothing about fakeraiddebug... [22:11] RabidToaster, that will just reinstall the os and leave the docks and programs there [22:11] Hitting an error regarding installing Ubuntu 8.04 off the LiveCD; the Load Linux Kernel Dialogue hangs on me...any ideas, anyone, please? [22:11] I don't have a video problem. But others do, and I used to be able to help people with video problems until Hardy changed the rules of the game and didn't tell anyone. :( [22:11] Ok. [22:12] RabidToaster, but always back up ;-) [22:12] andi5: I was hoping since you were at least being helpful. Thank you anyway. [22:12] SeaPhor, of course. :) [22:12] heelo ... how can i convert a photo pbmp to jpg [22:12] Does ANYONE know about this fake raid debug I have to do? T_T I'd like to have linux installed one day. [22:12] RabidToaster, if you want inst on 2nd repair, join /SeaPhor [22:12] For some reason, it won't let me install any kind of theme anymore. [22:12] Dawson, I have been listening to you and am having much the same issues, I don't really have a good suggestion, maybe try some of the other options from the main menu... you do get a menu from the live CD eh? [22:12] mindracer: But yeah, you should definitinely be using the intel driver. No need to download it, you've already got it installed on a default hardy. You may not be using it though. People are finding that xorg is for some reason setting i810 as the driver. [22:13] anyone have problem with recent upgrades on hardy? i just installed updates and now my computer won't boot [22:13] it goes to busybox (initramfs) [22:13] aioven, how far do you get? [22:13] "WARNING: synchronous SCSI scan failed without making any progress" [22:14] so i think pulseaudio keeps breaking. is there any way to fix it? [22:14] Biouser; yeah, I get the menu from the live CD; but when i try to install the first prompt - Load Linux Kernel - hangs on me. My apologies for the multiple pleas here, I'm really frustrated and tired with this whole thing... [22:14] arthurarchnix: i dont know where to configure the driver in ubuntu, or change it..? there no device manager like xp :P [22:14] biouser: the progress bar shows up and goes for a minute [22:14] mindracer: Try hitting alt+f2, then gksudo displayconfig-gtk that let's you play with it via gui. Some people have problems making the changes stick across reboot though, which is why I want to know how things work under the hood. [22:14] then it falls back to busybox interface, with error messages [22:14] whats some common audio problem that your audio just got killed ? how can i get audio back [22:14] arthur: ok, are u gonna be here in 5 mins im gonna reboot in ubuntu [22:15] Dawson, yeah, I get nothing from "install" the only way I can get further is to "try ubuntu without installing" and try installing from there [22:15] yeah [22:15] ok cool thx [22:15] reboot! [22:15] hi all, Xawtv shows no image and no sound but KDETV does. AFAIK the -debug2 option on xawtv does not show any error (perhaps the XVideo : video off message). Suggestions ? [22:16] Biouser; I've tried the same option, but it still bugs out on me, it needs to load the linux kernel either way and that's where I have issues. :( You wouldn't have any ideas, would you? [22:16] Dawson, I get a nice blinking cursor in the top right if I try to install, and I too burned at like 4x to try to get around it [22:16] I'm having alot of trobule getting my tablet pc's input device to work with ubuntu... i cannot use the pen to control the mouse.. === Nyx-_ is now known as Nyx- [22:17] Dawson, what type of machine are you attempting to install on? [22:17] Why won't any Emerald themes work? [22:17] Biouser; I did the same with the slow burn, didn't affect much anything. :-( I'm running on an HP Laptop; Intel Centrino Duo 2 with 2 GB Ram [22:17] how can i get my audio back without rebootin ? my audio got lost and i can get it back with reboot but i would rather not boot now [22:17] alright! backing up my home folder just hung.... I love Hardy [22:18] floating: probably restarting that audioserver if its hardy [22:18] floating, alsa-utils restart might work [22:18] I for got where it lives [22:18] I have logged onto the liveCD to remove some files from the home partition of another install, but I can't delete them. What should I do? [22:18] its hardy and... ok [22:18] guest__: terminal and use sudo rm file === robert__ is now known as Warp4 [22:19] Dawson, lot harder with laptops usually I have found [22:19] simplexio: Thanks ;) [22:19] hi all have a basic file renaming question that i was hoping someone could answer [22:19] hi all is there some site for "how i set up this and that computer with ubuntu", where I can note what I did, just to save other people the hassle with some settings? e.g "7.10 on a Compaq Evo n600c" or something alike? [22:19] floating: i have gutsy so cant remeber what that new audio stuff is called but its in /etc/init.d/program restart [22:19] Warp4, shoot [22:19] I have a bunch of files I need renamed. All have a .pkt.bad extension. I want them renamed to have .pkt extensions. [22:19] Biouser; tell me about it. :( The problem is it's imperative I have a working machine ASAP and currently I'm sitting with no OS.... [22:20] simplexio: I'm going to install all the hidden folders because I don't want any of the settings to continue to my new installation. Is there a way to delete all folders and files starting with . ? [22:20] basically keep the same base filename, just change the extension [22:20] Hi, how can I create a direct network, pc to pc, using ubuntu ?? what is the step by step ?? [22:20] Dawson, maybe try an Edgy-xubuntu... that was a sweet OS for laptops :\ [22:21] Warp4: rename 's/pak\.bad/.pak/g' *.bad maybe.. better chech first so that it dosent do anything use man rename [22:21] *delete [22:21] Desperately looking for help over an install issue with the Live CD of Ubuntu 8.04; the Load Linux Kernel hangs on me....anyone? [22:21] hmm sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart did restart alsa but it didnt work... maybe i have to kill some other sound server that is running ? [22:21] Biouser; I hear ya... [22:21] Dawson, all this trouble with Hardy has me thinking Debian :/ or maybe damn small :\ [22:21] Biouser; just comparing distro's, any idea how PCLinuxOS runs on laptops? [22:21] simplexio, i usually back up the files i am going to operate on before doing anything to them that im not sure about :) [22:22] Is there a process running in Hardy that monitors my video card, and attempts to make adjustments to it on the fly? [22:22] Biouser; thinking the same thing myself... [22:22] simplexio: I'm going to delete all the hidden folders because I don't want any of the settings to continue to my new installation. Is there a way to delete all folders and files starting with . ? [22:22] does ubuntu install non-free software by default? [22:22] guest__: yes.. rm .* -rf but i cant guarentee that it dosent remove aything that it should not [22:22] theLichKing, methinks not [22:22] simplexio: !! [22:22] Hi, all. I JUST completed an upgrade to Ubuntu 8.04, but now I'm having problems. My graphics card and my wireless card no longer work.

[22:23] simplexio: Thanks [22:23] How can I change the icons in Ubuntu? [22:23] but now reboot to .25.3 if it works for my new cpu [22:23] Well, Ubuntu happily greeted me with a low-res mode after the reboot.... [22:23] theLichKing: RMS is wrong most of the times :) [22:23] Is it possible to set up a launcher that runs a shell command and for the terminal to remain open after the process is complete? [22:24] simplexio: Then I got to confirm every single file :( [22:24] I have this issue only with Ubuntu Hardy, with Gutsy it was all happiness... the wireless network randomly slows down (1000-2000 B/s) for a minute and then goes normal again... it is very disturbing, i.e. watching videos in Youtube... i disabled ipv6 and the problems persists... what should I do? [22:24] kitche: i think he has a good point most of the time [22:24] ArthurArchnix: hey, i did what you say, but when i pick intel 965, it puts it to i810.. then when i test it it fails!

[22:24] theLichKing: I would link you to a song but it be way off topic like we are now :) [22:25] Strife89, that is a good question... may I pose the same to everyone else [22:25] hey guys [22:25] arthurarchnix: do u think i should try that www.intellinuxgraphics.org driver, it sets its for intel 965gm chipset specifically.. ive never built anything in linux before tho [22:25] Hang on, I actually have the CD running right now....

[22:25] hey guys [22:26] mindracer: Because hardy is doing something strange with video cards and displays, and just like windows, doesn't want to share its secrets. [22:26] arthurarchnix: very weird we cant pick the 965 driver [22:26] simplexio: Now it's asking me to delete every file. Is there a way to abort the operation so that I can just use rm -rf .* ?

Installing 8.04 from the alternate CD on a Dell Latitude CPx-H500GT notebook, and for the past half hour or so, it has been sitting on the 'Select and Install Software' screen at 6%, and spins up the CD-ROM every few minutes, only to stop doing that. === Andares_ is now known as Andares [22:34] mindracer: tried this link? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770042&highlight=xrandr [22:34] I have searched for suggestions, but I think I'm searching for the wrong thing. Any hints? [22:34] Gnome-panel taking 50% of my Opteron... that's a nice feature [22:35] Xial alt-f4 (I think) has the install history, there might be a clue there [22:35] anyone know what trackerd is all about? [22:35] olskolirc: I installed the nvidia restricted driver, but I found it was not right, it has been ok in hardy [22:35] biouser it indexes your home for searching [22:35] perhaps I don't need 10 instances? [22:35] i would like to get an entire file's contents into the clip-board so i can paste it -- any thoughts ? [22:35] in last days ago, the transfer bitrate of ubuntu servers is very slow. are there more people using them ? :-) [22:35] biouser: it's for indexing, makes it possible to search thru files [22:35] Xial: how much ram do have? [22:36] stefg: 256 MB [22:36] and gvfsd-trash, perhaps I don't need half a dozen instances of that either? [22:36] 256MB for ubuntu is not too much [22:37] biouser: if you don't search often, trackerd isn't really helpful. I've uninstalled it on my machine === kirby is now known as Charitwo [22:37] xubuntu is still around? [22:37] Arthurarchnix: i think im getting somewhere, i810 intel driver is not compatible with i965, so im uninstalling it in synaptic [22:37] Xial: that's quite the minimum, and probably some of it is used as video memory.... consider an alternate install, and rather look at xubuntu. YOu won't have fun with a full blown gnome on that box [22:37] Pacl; didn't see my specific model out there, but that's anyways. :( [22:37] oh yeah... mindracer I'd forgotten I did that too when I couldn't get it to use intel driver [22:38] *thanks [22:38] Question: It seems that my wireless is not working (after poking around on the internet like everywhere with my PC) it still seems that nothing is working) I can connect to my home network it asks for my WEP and I type in the correct code and then just disconnects. Any ideas anyone ? [22:38] hey all is there a mysql auth helper for squid in ubuntu [22:39] Desperately looking for help regarding installing Ubuntu off the LiveCD; the loading linux kernel dialogue hangs with me...anyone, please? [22:39] YEAH baby, wrote my first line of code! [22:39] stefg, I am using the alt installer, currently, since I knew the liveCD would choke it to death. I think I'll pass and just try something else, then, since it takes a while for me to download a disc image. :) [22:39] oh hey Dawson I have an answer to that believe it or not you'll have to wait. Pretty long time too [22:39] barfman_: in which language? [22:39] python! [22:39] arthurarchnix: do i have to reboot to get the i810 gone? [22:39] Herazio; wait how long? [22:40] arthurarchnix: i uninstalled it and its still there [22:40] Well with me it took a minute or 3 or so [22:40] in gksudo displayconfig-gtk [22:40] I just installed it and I'm a complete newb so I can't help fully :p but [22:40] once you remove it, you just need to restart x. [22:40] mindracer: [22:40] that's what happened with me ! [22:40] Herazio; ok, I've gone +30 and it's still hanging.... [22:40] Ok THAT is strange O_o [22:40] mindracer: ctrl+alt+backspace [22:40] ok im gonna restart [22:40] what happend to the xmms and the beep-media-player packages in the 8.04 repos? [22:40] Herazio; my thoughts exactly. :-P It's really frustrating.... [22:41] A question: is there any linux LIVE CD that I can use to backup and restore my ntfs partition? [22:41] Whoah. Screenbarf on the other display: Buffer I/O error on device sr0. [22:41] So it seems ! New user aswell ? (Had nothing but troubles yet :P) [22:41] cute_bettong: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461309 [22:41] Debian bug 461309 in ftp.debian.org "RM: xmms -- RoM; unmaintained" [Unknown,Closed] [22:41] chat [22:41] I need a tool that will repair hd errors in linux, is one available? [22:41] hi, how can i tell what driver is currently being used for my webcam? [22:41] Herazio; I'm starting to question the whole "Linux is the savior of the world" idea more and more. I've been trying to solve this for 6 hours straight. [22:41] yes [22:41] and why isn't xmms avaible in the repos? [22:42] Agreed ! Were you installing from windows or the DOS Kernel actually ? [22:42] Arthurarchnix: ok i restarted X, but now in the device settings theres no intel driver except an "intel experimental modesetting".. and my graphics card is configured to generic VESA [22:42] barfman_: see the link I just gave cute_bettong [22:42] Dawson: OK, what have you tried so far.. disk self-test? memory test? acpi=off ? [22:42] Herazio: best ques is that you didnt give that key right [22:42] Arthurarchnix: do u know how to get it to use an intel driver? [22:43] so basically xmms is obsolete [22:43] what about beep-media-player? becasue that was my favorite one v.v [22:43] simplexio: double checked everything ^^" [22:43] what tools are available on the live cd to examine hd errors and try to fix them? [22:43] Herazio; Windows, originally. I formatted the drive and then wanted to install Ubuntu....not happening. :(Zcat; I've tried acpi=off and all varients [22:43] holy shit, weird coincidence, xchat was on the other desktop [22:43] cute_bettong: look at audacious [22:43] Herazio: .. see that wlan work, it just dosent auth itself to network.. [22:43] didn't se it. [22:43] Zcat, I've also tried to re-burn the CD slow, running memtest, nothing worked... [22:44] cute_bettong: tried audacious? [22:44] simplexio: Will do my best ^^" [22:44] saki: no, that's why I'm here. Hardy has undocumented changes from gutsy. xorg.conf is vastly different. It used to be you just popped into xorg.conf, changed the driver and restarted x. Now? Who knows, I've asked questions on the forums and here... someone must know. Hopefully more than just developers. [22:44] Dawson, sorry if this has been asked before, but when you downloaded the iso did you check it against the md5 hash? [22:44] Hello, I just got my wifi working in Hardy on an Acer Aspire 5520. The only problem is that when I switched to the maxwifi drivers, I lost the functionality of the side volume wheel. Does anyone know how to fix this? [22:44] i don't like audacious i like beep media play it's small and skinnable [22:44] Dawson: so how's it failing? I only just came into the convo... [22:44] RabidToaster; I did, md5 varified the CD. [22:44] and dosen't have all the useless features i don't need. [22:44] Dawson: It seems that I'm not really the person that can help you with that O_o. Because that's really strange but it seems that Zcat will help :p [22:44] Herazio: triple check, wouldnt be first time when someone typos twice in row and thinks is right :) (it wasnt me ) [22:44] got problems trying to run games using cedega, i have an intel gma x3100 any clues?? [22:44] arthurarchnix: oh damn.. [22:44] lucas_: define problems [22:45] Hi, does ubuntus kernel have the 1000hz thing? I was wanting to use it for game servers [22:45] not sure, im runin compix [22:45] Heraizo: No worries. :-) Take care, good luck with whatever it is that got you in here. :-) [22:45] compiz [22:45] lucas_: and wine hq gives much more info about supported games [22:45] and everything is running ok [22:45] You can try reconfiguring your xorg.conf file. Back it up first, then automagically regenerate it. That used to work in Gutsy. [22:45] cute_bettong: search the bug tracker, it's probably a similar reason [22:45] saki ^^ [22:45] it's still a bs reason. [22:45] so what is this? no more apt-get? need to manually download and install it? [22:45] tahir_hhh: To answer my own question, there exists GParted-CloneZilla [22:45] ok, i have installed game using wine and they did work, but only in software mode [22:45] Enter text here... [22:45] jrib, so what is this? no more apt-get? need to manually download and install it? [22:45] hi [22:45] MG|CaNiBuS: ububtu kernel has the 0 Hz feature :P [22:46] arthurarchnix: do u know how to rerun X configuration in ubuntu? [22:46] im not sure of the correct term for it [22:46] the refresh rate of the kernel [22:46] zcat; I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 off the LiveCD, but as soon as I hit install and it tries to load the Linux Kernel dialogue, it gets to about halfway and then hangs :( [22:46] stefg: well, not quite.. it'll be totally tickless eventually. [22:46] yeah... first backup your xorg saki sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.con /etc/X11/xorg.conf_original [22:46] barfman_: it's no longer supported. It's unmaintained, you should move on [22:46] CS:S servers need to have it [22:46] saki: cant remeber command try google for xorg-server reconfigure [22:47] is it sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [22:47] saki: probably, sound right [22:47] apt-get issues - new gutsy install on DMZ - 111 errors. anyone to help ? [22:47] saki: yup [22:47] jrib, didn't know it was so broken? [22:47] Dawson: ok, what kinds of machine? age / memory? [22:47] cute_bettong: audacious looks the same to me. It's small and skinnable. To each his own [22:47] barfman_: read the link [22:47] hmm says its locked by another process [22:47] saki: there was a typo in my backup command! [22:47] if it does support that then I will be using Ubuntu on my game servers [22:47] i read the link, it doesn't meet debian specs, it's broken. [22:47] did i read w rong? [22:48] Zcat; it's an HP laptop, 9 months old, Intel Centrino Duo Core 2, 2 GB Ram...pretty standard stuff. [22:48] barfman_: look at all the bugs listed [22:48] MG|CaNiBuS: maybe. but recompiling new kernel with that enabled is that hard [22:48] saki: should have said "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_original" [22:48] barfman_: ie how it is broken [22:48] is there anyway to auto mount an nfs share when it comes online? i know i can sudo mount -a, but i'm lazy [22:48] how can i boot into terminal mode? [22:48] MG|CaNiBuS: don't put too much emphasis on that... technology moved on... [22:48] h9h9 [22:48] saki: add single into boot line [22:48] CS:S servers need it though [22:48] arthur: ok [22:48] where is the "lm-sensors source"? when speaking of running mkdev.sh in the lm-sensors source [22:48] sorry that was amorok i was thinking of jrib...let me check out this other app you speak of and see if i cannot make it work for me. [22:48] gibts ne art home server ubuntu? [22:48] saki: grub e for edit [22:49] i read CentOS comes with it by default [22:49] saki: And the process may be locked if you have synaptic open [22:49] cute_bettong: it's in the repositories, but here is a preview: http://www.audacious-media-player.org [22:49] its not open hmm [22:49] i come up with this link, from your link http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/07/msg00026.html [22:49] saki: Then just restart x, that should unlock it. [22:49] oh ups english :> [22:49] is there something like "homeserver ubuntu" available? [22:49] cute_bettong: seems to be a fork of beep media player [22:50] Where is the "lm-sensors source"? [22:50] <|DuReX|> how could i test the speed of my disks ? [22:50] So Ubuntus kernel doesn't support that by default? [22:50] MG|CaNiBuS: ...and [22:50] tim`-: what does that mean? What are you looking for exactly? [22:50] tim`-: you can make ubuntu a server yes, you can use the normal ubuntu or get ubuntu server which is headless [22:50] <|DuReX|> like for example speed it writes a 10gb file do the filesystem ... [22:50] just asking [22:50] MG|CaNiBuS: desktop probably does [22:50] how do I get rid of the "log in screen ready" drumroll sound? [22:50] hmm [22:50] Baltazaar: system -> administration -> login window [22:51] i guess does anyone know of some clients that play streaming content? such as shoutcast? [22:51] Dawson: hmmm.. quite recent, and a laptop. Not a good combination, I've seen some fairly complex issues with cdrom drives not being standard IDE, I suspect that might be your problem here and if so, it's likely a bit too complex to sort out over IRC :( [22:51] |DuReX|: hdparm -Tt /dev/ for a rough number [22:51] and the other reason i like xmms and beep is becasue streamtuner and stream ripper need it to run v.v [22:51] <|DuReX|> stefg: but want filesystem speed included [22:51] Mmmmmmm everytime I Log Out GDM never comes back up and I can't switch to any other tty.... halp! :P [22:51] <|DuReX|> as i'm using NTFS now, and I think thats slowing it down a bit :) [22:51] Dawson: best bet would be to find a nearby LUG and see if you can get some hand-on assistance. [22:51] jrib: can't find nothing there... [22:51] apt-get issues - new gutsy install on DMZ - 111 errors when I try apt-get update. anyone to help ?

Or do I need to edit xorg.conf? [22:53] simplexio: so baxically i'm gonna have to write a sript to poll it? [22:53] Dawson: well, that's what I've seen a couple of times in the past. the BIOS knows how to access the drive, but once Linux kernel takes over it can't see it any more.. I've never actually figured out what to do in this situation, I leave them to more experienced LUG members .. [22:53] I really like Ubuntu, but it gets a little "overbranded" at times... [22:53] cute_bettong: of course it does [22:54] Zcat; forgive me, a bit of a newbie...LUG members? [22:54] kindofabuzz: i dont know any other solutions for that [22:54] ok so why does it refuse to play any of my music? O_o [22:54] read-write compressed filesystems compatible with windows and linux? (preferably that i can change my thumbdrive to) [22:54] cute_bettong: make sure you set PulseAudio as your output audio plugin in preferences [22:54] simplexio: you'd think they'd build it in [22:54] kindofabuzz: cron job every 5minutes, if it isnt mounted.. should be that hard [22:54] !codecs | cute_bettong [22:54] cute_bettong: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [22:54] Mmmmmmm everytime I Log Out GDM never comes back up and I can't switch to any other tty.... halp! :P [22:55] apt-get issues - new gutsy install on DMZ - 111 errors when I try apt-get update. anyone to help ? [22:55] Mimi: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [22:55] Dawson: another option; pull the HDD out and do the install on a different machine.. you might even find the regular kernel will work when the 'installer' one didn't. [22:55] i used medibuntu im quite sure i have the codecs installed [22:55] simplexio, please reread my question [22:55] Mimi: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start, then when in, go to sessions and make sure gdm is selected [22:55] can someone help me with this error "run_program :'/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" (i get it when i boot) [22:55] Mimi: ups... [22:55] !who | cute_bettong [22:55] cute_bettong: As you can see, this is a large channel.

I'm downloading the alternate LiveCD right now; do you think that might make a difference? [22:56] Dawson: or just keep asking in here at random intervals; I might be totally off-track and perhaps someone else will have better answers. [22:56] Mimi: and dont repeat [22:56] jrib: i don't use fancy chat programs for irc i use irssi [22:56] Mimi: if someone knows answer they tell [22:56] cute_bettong: so? [22:56] Zcat, no worries man, I've been doing this for hours. :-P [22:56] Dawson: yes, it's possible that a text install will work better.. [22:56] Kvirc ftw! [22:56] simplexio, doh no wai [22:57] jrib: it's a diffrent command than ! in irssi at least this one hehe [22:57] Mimi: that sound like its some video driver issue... [22:57] cute_bettong: irssi has tab completion same as xchat and others :) [22:57] Mimi: i cant help more. i dont log out [22:57] Zcat; ok, I'll try running that then. Hopefully that will do the trick. Thank you so much. :-) [22:57] thats okay [22:57] cute_bettong: jr === peedy1205 is now known as speedy1206 [22:57] jrib: but in any event i have audacious installed and have the codecs as provided by medibuntu and audacious dosen't even try to play my musica [22:57] cute_bettong: did you see my comment on the output plugin? [22:57] linus is ready for the desktop; it's not always ready for end-user installs (neither is windows, btw. But people forget that practically nobody ever installs windows themselves...) [22:58] jrib: no i apologise i did not [22:58] cute_bettong: make sure you set PulseAudio as your output plugin in audio preferences [22:58] ArthurArchnix: weird the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg only reconfigures the keyboard, nothing else!!!!

[22:59] Hi ! [22:59] cute_bettong: pulse audio is the default sound server in hardy [22:59] cute_bettong, do you run the windows sl via wine or the linux sl ? [23:00] what was the command to see linked programs ? damn that word flew outta head.. long word with "pp" in it.. or maybe not ^^ [23:00] Mimi: i run it via the linux SL [23:00] ok [23:00] Virtue: "linked programs" means what exactly? [23:00] Mimi: the ubuntu clinet users group in secondlife keeps saying not to use it [23:00] oioio [23:00] Hey folks; does anyone know what the name of the CD checker / vertifier is for Linux LiveCD's?

[23:01] Mimi: they say it has tech issues (whatever that means) [23:01] cute_bettong, well, i was just curious. 1) i know wine doesnt like pulseaudio, 2) i cannot run the linux sl client, it's too buggy. for me, the wine SL works much much better. but I dont know what the problem you have is, sorries :( [23:01] jrib, no, word longer and contains p and a ^^ [23:01] Flannel: new install 111 [23:02] If I move my swap file to a second hard drive would ubuntu automatically adjust to it or would I have to change any settings?

[23:03] Mimi: thanks for your help ^_^ ill see what i can do, and the new SL client seems to work fine for me but for voice, something is odd with it [23:03] shinjin: probably modify your /etc/fstab ...and probably reboot...but if it screws it over... dont say i didnt warn you :P [23:03] just change the swap partition in fstab shinjin to whatever the new one is [23:03] eyeroll: oh, you get '111 error's? not one hundred and eleven errors?
