[00:00] iceolate: Google it, and youll find list upon list. [00:00] wy well i have had no trouble with hardy with my ati card [00:00] Evening again Question: I just deinstalled (with my stupidity) Network-Manager and I found a new wireless dongle which should work but it won't without Network-Manager. My question to you is. How do I reinstall it ? (It doesn't work v ia Synapsis) (PS:. I have no clue how to install programs on Linux O_O) [00:00] hi everybody, cant watch streaming, how do i fix it [00:00] hi everybody, cant watch streaming, how do i fix it [00:00] wy- desktop and laptop,doesn't matter. [00:00] has anyone been getting really jerky online videos [00:00] how can i install sqllite on ubuntu? [00:00] tt: go into your firefox addons and disable totem [00:00] hey wy, i just tried suspend i dont have the configuration you mentioned, but my net irc has kept going :P [00:00] ttmontoya: repeating your question every minute is not how [00:00] bloodrock- i want to upgrade to hardy on my macbook pro,you think it's safe as far as ati is concerned? [00:00] arooni-mobile: sudo apt-get install sqlite3 or sudo apt-get install sqlite [00:00] arooni-mobile: there's a "sqlite" package, and a "sqlite3" one too [00:00] prefix i cant google it as i cant get on [00:01] sorry [00:01] ttmontoya: plus your question is way too vague [00:01] wy hardy automaticly has you even load a restricted driver for ati [00:01] the "sqlite" package is sqlite 2 [00:01] evilbug: desktops don't bother much because they don't move [00:01] "streaming"? [00:01] wy, i guess it just reconnected quickly, but still it was pretty transparent, :)) [00:01] iceolate: That restricted?! lol. Kay, ill find one for you now... [00:01] wy- i meant as far as driver support goes. [00:01] prefix cheers, much appreciated [00:01] I installed mozilla-plugin-gnash and it gave this error: update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-addons-flashplugin: No such file or directory [00:01] bloodrock: I had problems with 7.10. Now I installed 8.04 [00:02] pulseaudio sucks and is buggy as all hell, how do i get rid of it? [00:02] how do I make it install? or, help me get Flash some other way... [00:02] bloodrock- should i upgrade via update manager or should i do a clean install? [00:02] evilbug: thanks. Has ati improved the propriatary driver? [00:02] iceolate: 63.149.98.64:80 [00:02] wy- i'm still on 7.10 on my macbook pro with ati.i don't have any video issues. [00:02] prefix trying... cheers [00:02] Someone who has insight on raid in the live installer here? would be awesome [00:02] Pie-rate: same way as you get rid of anything else? apt-get remove pulseaudio or do it from synaptic === gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak [00:03] wy- but i want to upgrade to 8.04. [00:03] Hello everyone, I have (surprise) a problem. I stupidly updated with pre-release stuff, and now I'm having all sorts of issues, mostly with user settings. Is there any way to de-update, or am I stuck? [00:03] iceolate: np, highlight if it doesn't work. [00:03] no one ? [00:03] bouma - if you don't like evolution there should be no problem removing it... just sudo apt-get -s remove evolution .... that will simulate the removal ie just tell you what would be removed if you did that for real... check the list :) ... then if you want to go ahead run the command without the "-s". To see all the evolution packages on your system type dpkg -l | grep evolution. You may want to look at removing some of them too [00:03] prefix ok [00:03] serverlist [00:03] Pie-rate: asoundconf list will tell you the name of your soundcard. Then asoundconf unset-pulseaudio [00:04] joseph cant you just install over it with the final ? [00:04] Herazio- i can't help but i know your frustration.just give it more time.also try #kubuntu [00:04] hello [00:04] evilbug might be better to do a clean install [00:04] Herazio- or even #linux [00:04] what is main purpose of usr folder because it takes 2/3 size of my disk? Just a explanation if 2-3 words for /usr folder. [00:04] bloodrock- thanks. [00:04] wirechief - I think its the 8.10 release, I'm using 8.04 [00:04] dare: all programs are in there [00:04] evilbug: every upgrade with break something :P [00:04] dare: a lot of the stuff you install ends up there [00:04] i can listen to streaming music but cant watch video streaming like in youtube, anime fever,etc [00:04] oh alright ^^" my apoligies very much evilbug ^^ [00:04] How can I use xterm's font in Konsole? [00:04] dare: it contains most programs, libraries, config files, and a lot of other stuff [00:04] evilbug I have had way to many problems with updating to 8.04 [00:04] dare: it's C:\Windows and C:\Program files together :P [00:04] servlist [00:04] SERVLIST [00:05] dbusch: What are you trying to do? [00:05] dbusch: ? [00:05] PovAddict. jrib, Starnestommy,PovAddict OK thanks :) what a fast reply :D [00:05] ChaosTheory_, are you able to play that on Ubuntu? [00:05] I installed mozilla-plugin-gnash and it gave this error: update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so.dpkg-tmp a symlink to /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-addons-flashplugin: No such file or directory [00:05] hey wassup [00:05] sorry my mistale I am new in terminal irc [00:05] joseph: well the 8.04 is final, you dont have room to test the 8.10 ? [00:05] how do I make it install? or, help me get Flash some other way (not nonfree as I'm on amd64) [00:05] just got irc on my new ubuntu desktop w00t !! [00:05] PovAddict: why not nonfree? works fine... [00:06] get regular flash [00:06] jrib: no nonfree on amd64 [00:06] I try to disable "visual effects" but the system hangs up and won't go to that tab, it hangs up with pretty much every thing. Somebody know how to disable these visual effects with bash shell? [00:06] i use it and it works perfectly [00:06] PovAddict: yes there is, install flashplugin-nonfree [00:06] any1 here have Atheros Wireless cards? If so, do you have problems with Hardy Heron automatically using it? I keep having to run "/etc/init.networking restart" to get it to connect [00:06] jrib: I don't have that package [00:06] joseph: 8.04 would be much more stable that the 8.10 right now. [00:06] how to search for part of word ignoring case ? find, locate doesn't work :/ [00:06] PovAddict: ubuntu version? [00:06] 8.04 kubuntu [00:06] maybe I need to add some repo? [00:06] why the hell was pulseaudio even put into 8.04? you'd think the "long term support" version would use something that isn't made of 100% FAIL [00:06] PovAddict: pastebin your sources.list [00:06] larryIII: you could try just removing compiz [00:07] http://pastebin.ca/1014170 [00:07] wirechief: I have room, but things were working properly with 8.04 and now I'm having issues, so how might I backtrack to a more stable version? Reinstall? [00:07] what is compiz btw? [00:07] * PovAddict loves his paste.sh [00:07] danbhfive: thanks I'll try that [00:07] PovAddict: you need multiverse [00:07] what is a more decent chm viewer than xchm [00:08] theLichKing: gnochm? [00:08] how do I search for part of word (ignoring letter case) in terminal ? find. locate don't work [00:08] .chm is ms proprietary hell tarp [00:08] i don't know you.. you tell me [00:08] Virtue: huh?

I have to kwnow may I delete it? [00:08] Virtue: search where? a file? [00:08] jrib, yea, file [00:08] Virtue: inside the files or in the filenames? [00:08] smallfoot-: but the viewers are free [00:08] joseph oh, you mean 7.04 or 7.10, well thats a users choice, 8.04 has some bugs with audio that users would prefer going back, thats understable. [00:09] Virtue: grep -i some_word some_file [00:09] theLichKing, but the file format is not [00:09] PovAddict, filename [00:09] find -name *word* [00:09] jrib, oh, thanks [00:09] danbhfive: I use ubuntu gname and it is not installe dby default cause it is kde?!

[00:09] wirechief: no, I'm using 8.04, but I checked the option to use "pre-release" updates and am now having issues with firefox and some other programs [00:10] jrib, okay, thank you [00:10] joseph: i have all versions from 6.10 and am currently testing 8.04 but my main distro is kanotix as it is very stable and works with most things. [00:11] joseph: i actually use kanotix to install my graphics drivers on all versions of ubuntu, because they simply work. [00:11] question: I installed virtualbox the other night, and when I did, after rebooting, I noticed that I now have 2 kernels on my system... a -16 and a -generic on my boot loader.. 1) Is there a way to remove one of them? 2) which one should be removed? [00:11] wirechief: I see, I'll look into that. thanks for your help. [00:11] joseph: but for a ubuntu fan you might want to drop back to 7.04 it should be pretty good now [00:12] quit sleeping [00:12] sleep is good [00:12] !flash [00:12] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [00:12] joseph: ubuntu is always putting new stuff in each release some works but some have bugs, its a testing product mainly [00:13] joseph: not sure i answered your question. good luck. [00:13] !atheros [00:13] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:13] Question: has anyone had their flash plugin stop working in the past few hours? [00:13] tadzhikaz: are you having problems with atheros cards? [00:13] yes [00:13] how can i get a creative x-fi soundblaster card working? [00:14] whats the problem? [00:14] jotin check out #alsa channel i heard that x-fi was not supported by alsa but could be wrong. [00:14] my card atheros ar5007eg [00:15] so what linux 8.04 is not a good version to use? [00:15] tadzhikaz: I've had problems with that same card on ubuntu, took me a couple of hours but I got it fixed, let me see if I can find the walk through I used... pm me [00:15] thanks [00:15] but it not work properly [00:15] tetrisR: depends on how you use it. [00:15] Someone please read my post and if you have any ideas what might be wrong help http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3094354.0 [00:15] a newbie [00:15] ф [00:15] I'm having skipping audio with vlc in hardy (streaming video from hdhomerun (udp://@:1234)). If I use totem it works fine. Any thing I can check or try? [00:15] what is the difference between installing gcc and build-essential? [00:16] minimal stiff i,e watch movies online etc [00:16] tetrisR: some bugs have actually been fixed you should search launchpad for bugs [00:16] tetrisR: especially ones you think you might have. [00:16] theLichKing: check the contents [00:16] tetrisR: 8.04 is the most recent stable release, its stable but it was recently released, so there are still bumps that haven't been smoothed out yet. [00:16] tadzhikaz: what version of ubuntu?? === Ashfire908 is now known as Ash908 [00:17] so if users run into things that dont seem to work right check launchpad with a google search [00:18] can someone explain me this thing... I loaded existing torrents in Azureus, and instead of seeding them, it's downloading them in the same dir, although files itself are complete and there is not a trace from a copy, which is downliading atm... [00:18] gaintsura, then i had ubuntu 7, i configued my card and it worked fine, but on ubuntu 8 work not so good... [00:18] ChaosTheory_, do you play Chaos Theory on Ubuntu? [00:18] My system keeps freezing up and not responding to the mouse and stuff. (it goes away but it's still annoying) [00:19] It's also been freezing all the way down to the kernel. [00:19] i'm using Ubuntu Hardy and it has Firefox 3 Beta 5 installed by default. Is it possible I could go to the later version of Firefox that was on Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty? [00:19] ricanelite: install firefox-2 [00:19] Is there a chat for discussing problems with updating to 8.04 [00:19] ricanelite: If you'd prefer to use Firefox 2 for now, install the firefox-2 package. [00:19] Byron1: you're in it [00:19] ricanelite: Down load it, its Firefox2 that was in gutsy [00:19] download it from Firefox's website? [00:20] A new version of Wine comes out every so often? Will my Wine auto update or can I go to Synaptic and uninstall and reinstall it or ? [00:20] ricanelite: Nope, it's in the repositories. [00:20] tadzhikaz: hang on, let me find the walkthrough I used [00:20] Byron1: their are kubuntu-offtopic, users bat around problems there too. [00:20] Anyone live in Houston, TX? [00:20] ricanelite: You use whichever package manager you are used to - apt-get, aptitude, Synaptic, or whatever. [00:20] RyanPrior, do I need to remove Firefox 3? [00:20] Yes but there is quite a bit of talk here hard for someone like me to follow [00:20] theLichKing: GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection, build-essentials is a list of commonly needed components to build software... [00:20] ricanelite: Nope, you can have both Firefox 2 and 3 installed at once. [00:20] really [00:20] nice [00:20] Byron1 join me there [00:20] lukehasnoname: try #ubuntu-texas [00:21] matthew: if you enable updates in System-> Resources then it will ask you for update automatically [00:21] ok.. i did a simple program and it didn't compile.. it says error: stdio.h: No such file or directory [00:21] I live in houston [00:21] this is a fresh install of ubuntu studio [00:21] matthew: The wine in the ubuntu repositories will not have major version updates (just bugfixes), however winehq has their own repository, which is fairly good, and stays up to date. [00:21] <^Tech-Help^> Ive found with firefox 3 and 2 installed on 8.04, problems getting any extensions to install. so i had to uninstall 3, and go with firefox 2 [00:21] should i install build-essential [00:21] theLichKing: You'll need to install build-essential [00:21] ? [00:21] tadzhikaz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=662877 <-- Let me reboot in to ubuntu so I can send you the needed files. [00:22] Anyone familiar with GRUB? [00:22] lukehasnoname: I live in Houston, TX what part are you in? [00:22] !anyone | lgc [00:22] lgc: 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? [00:22] !anyone | lgc [00:22] ok GaintSura [00:22] ok.. but including gcc in the distribution without the most basic header files is too stupid [00:22] actually thats an issue for me, when i uninstalled my firfox 3 i could not install addons and plungins on firefox 2 [00:22] ^Tech-Help^, samething I'm going thru right now [00:22] theLichKing: you don't need to, but, it probobly is the easy way out. stdio.h is a basic part of the C library [00:22] !offtopic | uhriventis [00:22] uhriventis: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:22] hi, how do i list processes in order to be able to kill them ? [00:22] Flannel, RyanPrior, I wish everyone was as efficient to provide ANSWERS. [00:22] <^Tech-Help^> ricanelite im pretty sure everyone will if they use 8.04 that is [00:22] clee-saan: ps [00:23] theLichKing: gcc is included for other languages, not C [00:23] lgc: We can't provide answers until you ask the questions. [00:23] Flannel: good point [00:23] clee-saan, top is a nice for monitoring and killing processes in a ternimal [00:23] Flannel, for example, the day before yesterday you didn't even reply to my salute. [00:23] lgc: We hear those "anybody know..." questions all day, so we're good at typing !anybody :-) [00:23] lgc: If you'd prefer, I'll say: "Yes, I am familiar with grub, and I'm sure other people are too" [00:23] Hi room. Has anyone setup a wiimote under linux before? [00:23] Flannel: now that's crapp [00:24] !anyone | mattgyver83 [00:24] mattgyver83: 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? [00:24] Does anybody has problem with Dell Insiron 6400, mic on Hardy Haron? [00:24] lmao [00:24] lol [00:24] Baltazaar: eh? An average user has no use for compiling, there's no reason to include it [00:24] I'm sorry I'm being vague but I have no clue what [00:24] GCC compiles C, C++, Fortran, Ada, even Java via GCJ [00:24] i hate you, enter key. [00:25] i have the avent windows avigator and whenever i log of or restar my computer it disapears [00:25] thanks Ash908 [00:25] how do i config my video card through terminal [00:25] i have the avent windows navigator and whenever i log of or restart my computer it disapears [00:25] Like I said, lots of "anybody" questions. That's what, 5 in the last minute? :-) [00:25] Flannel, since I migrated to a bigger disk, GRUB completely ignores my Windows install. [00:25] Flannel: he was trying to compile a program's source code... [00:26] randal: Easy to solve, luckily. Just add it as a Gnome "session". (System -> Preferences -> Sessions) [00:26] Baltazaar: right, and build-essential will do that for him, whats the issue? [00:26] !repeat | randal [00:26] randal: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [00:26] lgc: Alright, what do your partitions look like, and what does your menu.lst look like? [00:26] ok [00:26] My system has been acting weird in that it will stop responding to input on the desktop and the entire system has been freezing, even the kernel, and I have to hold the power button. (I'm sorry I'm being vague but I have no clue what is wrong) [00:26] how can I change my hostname? I've tried several times with the hostname command but it just doesn't want to stick [00:26] How do i remove one of my pannals [00:26] !paste [00:26] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:27] just for PITA's sake [00:27] leave [00:27] Ash908: Does dmesg say anything funny? [00:27] !hostname | Fritzel === kitche_ is now known as kitche [00:27] Fritzel: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [00:27] How do i remove one of my pannals [00:27] randal - usually a right click will do the trick [00:27] How Do i update wine ? [00:27] oh [00:27] lol [00:27] thank you [00:27] RyanPrior, let me check... [00:27] tetrisR: how do i get it back if i want it back [00:27] randal: Right click it and choose "Delete this Panel" [00:28] randal: you were already once told to be patient and not to repeat. [00:28] RyanPrior: right click near the top/bottom of the screen and "add panel" [00:28] RyanPrior, i can tell compiz is not running right... [00:28] Myrtti: im not repeating [00:28] randal, that was for you [00:28] RyanPrior, no. [00:28] RyanPrior, and i can't run dmesg when the kernel freezes. [00:28] How Do i update wine ?? [00:29] For newest version [00:29] Ash908: any pattern to when the freezes happen? [00:29] !rdp [00:29] Factoid rdp not found [00:29] !remotedesktop [00:29] Factoid remotedesktop not found [00:29] BubbleTea: Either compile it from source, or grab the latest debian package from their website. [00:29] anyone know how I can connect to a Windows machine, without installing VNC servers on Windows? [00:29] The machine has Remote Desktop incoming connections allowed [00:29] RyanPrior, BubbleTea, don't compile it from source. If you want a newer version, add the winehq repositories [00:29] MachinTrucChose: Samba ought to let you connect to Windows shares. [00:30] RyanPrior, ...for the kernel freeze, when changing workspaces with compiz on. [00:30] ryan: not Windows shares, I want to control the desktop [00:30] I've already got Samba up :) [00:30] I have a new question how can I perform a terminal command like "shutdown +50" (a timer for pc shutdown that way i dont have to switch my pc off manually at night) but with 1 click, so that my father or someone who has no clue how to use a computer is able to just use the command [00:30] Flannel: compiling Wine from source is a perfectly legitimate way to acquire the software. === iRRVi is now known as array[0] [00:30] MachinTrucChose: use RDP protcol which the gnome desktop sharing program has in it I believe [00:30] RyanPrior, otherwise it might just be compiz. but the inital login (first login after boot) seems to hang for awhile before resizing the desktop. [00:30] Flannel: Many people prefer not to use the repository because it often slows down apt-get update. === array[0] is now known as ]5[ [00:30] in xchat, how do i have it put timestamps in the buffer area for the channel caht? [00:31] Ash908: Have you tried disabling compiz? [00:31] kitche: it only lets me select a port. I tried 3389, still doesn't connect. [00:31] RyanPrior: Please try and keep people from ruining their chances of successful upgrades [00:31] How can i move the avent window navigator to the top of my screen [00:31] I am working on setting up quotas... I have quota installed, and quotas enabled for two file systems. However, the setquota command asks for the quota in terms of blocks and inodes. How do I find out the size of a block or inode? [00:31] which restricted driver to install 386 or x86 which type of computers are x86 [00:31] RyanPrior, ...i don't want to disable compiz... [00:31] barfman: it's in the Settings [00:31] randal: I don't think that is an option, as far as I know. [00:32] is there any program that aloows that [00:32] MachinTrucChose, only for the logs, not the acutal program itself. [00:32] Sunx: intel compatable, not 64bit though [00:32] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11332/ . [00:32] RyanPrior: is there a dif program thats similar [00:32] Ash908: It's still important to know for sure whether Compiz is causing the problem. If disabling Compiz stops the problem, then that gives us valuable information. [00:32] randal: There's Cairo-Dock. It's not quite as powerful, but I think it can go on top of the screen. [00:32] barfman: Settings > Preferences . Bottom option is "enable timestamps". It's how my Xchat looks as we speak. [00:32] Where can I download older versions of Xserver? [00:32] RyanPrior: nvm [00:32] randal: I bet AWN can go on top too, but I just don't think it's a default option. [00:33] Sunx:x86 is pretty much any computer that is based off of initel technology... If there is not an athlon specific driver then in a lot of cases it will work for amd chips also. 386 is probably not what you want. [00:33] RyanPrior, well the kernel freeze isn't something that i know how to trigger really... [00:33] randal: There's Cairo-Dock. It's not quite as powerful, but I think it can go on top of the screen. [00:33] oops [00:33] MachinTrucChose mine is enabled as well, but i see nothing being timestamped, only my logs. [00:33] lgc: and the output of sudo fdisk -l? [00:33] weird [00:33] RyanPrior, i turned off compiz. [00:33] that's the option, I just tried disabling/enabling it [00:33] alsa broke [00:34] it's supposed to show it on the left of the nicknames [00:34] i dont know how but does anyone have the time to help me try anf fix it? [00:34] flannel: I have themed with face browser already activated. could it be something else [00:34] tadzhikaz: I am not in ubuntu... something weird just happend [00:34] in the Chatting/Logging area right? [00:34] then i have a open data folder. [00:34] Flannel How i add add the winehq repositories? [00:34] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11333/ [00:34] hello? [00:34] Anyone know why my wireless suddenly went MIA for no reason... I did not change anything, just had wireless up 2 days ago with no probs [00:34] Ash908: If you still get the kernel freeze with Compiz disabled, then you can probably say it's nothing with Compiz.

[00:34] hey! thanks === rahul_ is now known as buize [00:35] GaintSura, i tried to configure according to link http://blog.linuxoss.com/2008/05/08/ubuntu-804-enabling-atheros-ar5007-based-wireless/ [00:35] BubbleTea: you're on hardy? [00:35] hi [00:35] emry: i have core 2 duo 4400 so i would use X86 if i use that restricted driver then i dont need the nvidia new driver right? [00:35] Sunx: and like Flannel said, not 64 bit... (Of course if you are running the 32 bit version of the OS, then the 32 bit drivers will be needed even on a 64 bit chip) [00:35] yowsh1: How is it broke? What is the error? [00:35] GaintSura, i think, it is similarly [00:35] Flannel, I actually just added the Windoze part a while ago. It didn't even have it after the 7.10 reinstall. [00:35] I have a question about wubi [00:36] is this the right place to ask? [00:36] !aswk | Wubi_Nubi [00:36] Factoid aswk not found [00:36] !ask | Wubi_Nubi [00:36] Wubi_Nubi: 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. :-) [00:36] Hi. Is there any ways to make Linux (ubuntu/debian) run extern VGA / DVI / S-Video to be turned on or off without restarting X or the computer? It's really annoying with exiting all applications when switching to VGA/DVI port and restart computer when enabling S-Video [00:36] Sunx: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? [00:36] ok [00:36] . [00:36] Flannel How i add add the winehq repositories?

[00:36] wubi goes through the ntfs driver? [00:36] emry: 8.04 [00:37] how do I assign all vide file types to VLC ? I couldn't find menu in VLC player, looked everywhere... But I remember doing that on win., [00:37] how does wubi read the file it creates on an ntfs disk? [00:37] does it now make it slow? [00:37] Sunx: I mean, which platform. I should have worded it better. [00:37] what's the simplest way to have ubuntu 8.04 mount on my xp drive on bootup? [00:37] Flannel yes [00:37] I am trying to set up my linksys wusb300N wireless USB N router. i am trying to use ndiswrapper but i am having trouble finding a 64 bit driver, or somehow getting the 32 bit driver to work. Can anyone help me with this? [00:37] just weird it puts the stamps in the logs but not in the chat window. [00:37] does anyone know what wubi is? [00:37] wubi - windows ubuntu installer [00:37] * lgc ponders how much bandwith could be spared if there just let people ask their questions without force-feeding them the etiquette...

I turned it up in the mixxer, and suddenly it worked. [00:38] @Wubi_Nubi - u can install ubuntu like any other win program [00:38] Anyone know of any Ubuntu books for Hardy out yet?

Very, very good idea for newcomers.

I installed virtualbox a few nights ago, when I installed it, a new kernal popped up, -16 instead of -generic, which was the original. the -16 does not boot it just sits, and the -generic does not startup my wireless.. any suggestions?

[00:43] Wubi creates a file on ntfs disk, which it then reads as a file system. This file exists on ntfs partition. Does wubi/ubuntu in that boot setup go through some sort of ntfs kernel driver? wouldn't that make it slow, since you have another driver layer in the middle? [00:44] http://www.mag-murphy.net/temp/arghcompiz.jpg note the window title bars - any idea how I can fix this? [00:44] ryanprior i'm trying to install the updates [00:44] how do i change the virtual vertical size in Beryl from 1 to 2 [00:44] byron1 no, the application doesn't crash. it just keeps on thinking for ever. [00:44] Flannel, Indeed. It acts as if there was no such Windoze entry (actually, the behavior didn't change at all when I added the corresponding lines). [00:44] RyanPrior: OK, I think you were right after all :P [00:44] Wubi_Nubi: this page might help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekhardy/Wubi [00:45] aalfa I had that issue when it was trying to upgrade mysql [00:45] Wubi_Nubi: there's a slight performance decrease, yes.

[00:46] Wubi_Nubi: the slight performance decrease associated with Wubi is because you aren't using a real bare-metal file system - you're using one filesystem inside another, so each filesystem operation takes extra memory and CPU. [00:46] MachinTrucChose, yes, -d does delete, sorry [00:46] how do i get to the beryl chat thing [00:46] afk.... getting cancer [00:46] Flannel, no. It doesn't even let me go to the entry menu. It boots directly to Linux. [00:46] Wubi_Nubi: For that reason, we suggest that you don't try to do any heavy video editing, etc in Wubi - however, in most cases you probably won't notice the slowdown. [00:46] lgc: Ah! a different issue entirely. Is this that whole file? [00:46] RyanPrior, Flannel, [21:09] If you wish, you can think of Wubi as a virtual machine that only [00:46] virtualises the hard disk, while keeping everything else native. [00:46] lgc: since, if it is, you're missing a good bit of stuff. [00:47] so how slow does it make it? [00:47] virtualization is slow [00:47] has anyone setup red5 0.7 on ubuntu? [00:47] how do i get to the beryl chat thing [00:47] it is indeed going through an ntfs driver layer [00:47] how do i get to the beryl chat thing [00:47] how do i get to the beryl chat thing [00:47] Wubi_Nubi: Its not very. Read further, its not virtualization. [00:47] randal do not repeat please [00:47] slash kick randal [00:47] Wubi_Nubi: that's a pretty good quote, I read that too. It is not nearly as slow as true virtualization - only disk operations are slowed. [00:47] Flannel, now that you mention it... you're right. Yes, it's the whole file (plus commented example lines above the important stuff). [00:47] Does anybody know what may be causing my update manager to keep on thinking when i press install updates, instead of actually installing them [00:47] ? [00:47] Wubi_Nubi: I tried it at work, I didn't notice any speed difference between Native Ubuntu 7.10 and Wubi Ubuntu 8.04 . And the machine wasn't great either (Celeron). === Nabiki is now known as Emry [00:47] lgc: Paste the entire file please [00:47] I have ubuntu 8.04 === MrSteve is now known as drivetrax [00:47] help, I can't install libqt4-opengl-dev. Here's the output. I'm using 8.04 http://pastebin.com/d7fecf1e3 [00:48] time outs are annoying... Did I miss anything? [00:48] Wubi_Nubi: And unless you're doing lots and lots of disk operations, such as compressing or decompressing archives, copying hundreds of files, or doing video editing, you won't notice the slowdown much. [00:48] MachinTrucChose I have a Core 2 3.5GHz + 4GB Ram and I want amd64 [00:48] Wubi_Nubi: Also, you'd probably be best off asking the wubi people (details on contact are in that chat) for details, they know it best. Especially when you're dealing with those sorts of metrics [00:48] @Wubi_Nubi: is there a problem with running live cd? [00:48] if i run dpkg-query -S somefilepath and it says not found, that means that it was installed outside of apt/dpkg right? [00:48] I have two x 15k rpm drives [00:48] Wubi_Nubi: what are you planning on using Ubuntu for? [00:48] Wubi_Nubi: with a dual-core processor and 4GB of RAM, the overhead will be very very tiny.

It only makes sense in this case anyway, as GRUB has no idea how to communicate the presence of location of such modules to a non-Multiboot-aware kernel.

Apart from that, what I see without the comments at the top is good. Your issue is you're never seeing the grub menu, you can either hit escape while booting. To see the menu always, comment out the hiddenmenu line near the top of the file, which hides the menu at boot.

[00:56] Flannel, I mean the mess I made cutting and pasting the file to the paste window.

[00:57] but there's no vlc package visible in aptitude... [00:57] drivetrax: I don't think this is any kind of intended behaviour ;) [00:57] I have setup pxe booted cli install - I wonder if I can automate the installing with some kind of answersfile ? [00:57] I found two smb.conf files: one in /etc/samba and one in /usr/share/samba ...which one should I be editing? [00:58] Outie, -- ever install a theme?

If thats the issue, its no big deal, just comment out hidden menu, and delete that extra root line [00:59] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/11339/ [00:59] and, as I said, the effect on the window decoration changes every time I activate and deactivate a window [00:59] and only inactive windows have these artifacts [01:00] switching to Human theme didn't help either [01:00] Outie, right click the desktop .. change background .. then go to tab - visual effects [01:00] Flannel, but maybe that 'hiddenmenu' is the clue. [01:00] is vlc not anymore in 8.04? [01:00] lgc: thats what is doing it yes. [01:00] Outie, what is that set to.. there [01:00] drivetrax: nothing, since I've customized some plugins with ccsm [01:00] desucca: Ok... What you may need to do, is boot in with a rescue disk and edit your grub configuration. Basically, whichever physical disk number you have listed for the two drives, increment them by 1. I have seen systems force ide drives to the beginning of the list, and the way grub does things is a bit odd. [01:00] however, I've left my hands off the window decoration settings [01:01] ah well, ubuntu seems to have two repos... :( [01:01] Flannel, and what is supposed to happen when I do 'update grub'? [01:01] desucca: Worst case scenerio, it doesn't work, and you change it back. [01:01] Emry, desucca, you don't need a rescue disk. At the grub menu hit 'e' and you can edit the lines [01:01] aptitude repo != synaptic(?) repo [01:01] I'm also getting the Pink Shadows Bug (ie. window shadows are discoloured - usually pink or green, sometimes white) as well [01:01] Outie, -- so you customized your desktop.. and want to clean it up.. go back to the older compiz WM.. and use tha Window Plugin [01:01] gpb: they're one and the same [01:02] Flannel: Will the edits become permanent?, or after he gets in, will he need to go in and edit them? :-) [01:02] i'm sure whoever is using banshee would love it [01:02] Flannel: it doesn't quite get to the menu :) [01:02] Outie, -- yah, compiz ccsm.. sets all that [01:02] then it's strange [01:02] lgc: Same thing that happens everyime you update a kernel, your menu.lst is recreated based on the comments at the top and the kernels that exist, and then the stuff after the end automagic kernels list line [01:02] drivetrax: the issue persists if I set the effects to any of the standard presets, aside from "none" [01:02] desucca: Try hitting the e when it gets the error. :) [01:02] since the Apps->add remove apps finds vlc but aptitude does not [01:02] ah, i see [01:02] oddly enough, on a whim I set the 'new' hdd to 1st in sequence and xp boots without grub? :) [01:02] Emry: after he logs in, he'll need to make them permanent. But its good for searching for partitions if you have issues [01:02] drivetrax: the shadow discolouration is not the colour it's set to, and occasionally changes when compiz restarts [01:03] the graphical thingie lists it but says "not for i386" when clicking on it [01:03] Emry, Flannel: thanks! I'll try it out [01:03] as I said, I am quite sure that this is not any kind of intended behaviour [01:03] desucca: That is probably your XP from the machine that died. hehehe [01:03] O_O Amarok and Rhythmbox....the difference is astounding. It's like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger [01:03] Flannel, how can I remove entries for old kernels? [01:03] lgc: edit your grub.conf. :) [01:03] lgc: remove the kernel images [01:03] Outie - if you use Compiz manager - DCustom - preferences.. a window opens up, right [01:03] Emry: ouch.. good point [01:03] Emry, lgc, no editing it wont work (and its menu.lst), remove the old kernel packages [01:04] drivetrax: DCustom? [01:04] custom [01:04] Emry, it's not just that, but a more elegant procedure, an instructions that does away with all the old kernel stuff, which I can't remember. [01:04] Compiz manager as in ccsm? [01:04] yes [01:04] I am in ccsm as we speak [01:04] hmm, flashplugin-nonfree seems to crash at randomly for me in hardy so I tried uninstalling it and installing gnash, but gnash has horribly distorted sound... does anyone know what the problem with gnash could be? [01:04] ok [01:04] lgc: sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-[oldversion]-generic [01:04] lgc, Flannel: Understood. [01:04] I have a scanner canon and cannot scan with those programs [01:05] Outie, what did you do to the - color setting [01:05] Flannel, 'generic' or whatever, I suppose. [01:05] drivetrax: in what, window decoration -> shadows? [01:05] it's set to black. [01:05] lgc: what? You're not running the generic kernel? [01:05] How do I find the size in kilobyts etc of a block or inode on a file system? [01:05] Outie, no.. there is a check box that simply says color - one of the first at the top of that page [01:06] in ccsm? [01:06] Flannel, no, I mean that there are about 4 entries for each kernel version. I suppose one has to do 'apt-get remove --purge' for each entry. Right? [01:06] Emry, Flannel: fyi, 'e' from the error doesn't work.. I'll boot with recovery disk and try editing there [01:06] aqrgh, i HASTE the gnome desktop [01:06] I can't see my wireless network [01:06] -S [01:07] but what does one not endure for familys friends? [01:07] Jackault, welcome to the club. [01:07] MachinTrucChose, found it! nmblookup -A 192.168.1.100 [01:07] Outie, - Super + F = filter on, Super + D = screen filtering on Super + S = Switch filter, try those [01:07] lgc: there should be two entries for each kernel, a regular one, and a recovery console one. You have to remove each kernel version, yes. Although you don't have to use apt-get, any package manager will do. [01:07] i can use my wireless network -- on ym eee running debian ^^ [01:07] *ducks* [01:07] drivetrax: the colour filter plugin is disabled [01:07] I am trying to set up my linksys wusb300N wireless USB N router. i am trying to use ndiswrapper but i am having trouble finding a 64 bit driver, or somehow getting the 32 bit driver to work. Can anyone help me with this? [01:08] Outie, ah, enable it [01:08] I have a scanner canon and cannot scan with those programs [01:08] Flannel, I count 4 entries for the 2.6.24.16 version, not two. [01:08] a wireless *router* is standalone, so it needs no driver [01:08] drivetrax: doesn't change the glitchy window decoration or the shadow colours [01:08] Can I do anything if I have forgotten my ubuntu username/password? [01:09] or ami completely wrong here? [01:09] kk [01:09] does anyone here use gnash, or know why its sound output would be garbled? [01:09] mikeg: yes: crack it ^^ [01:09] SeaPhor: Thanks! That displays the computer name...but what's weird is that I can't ping it (even though I can ping the IP). [01:09] brb, I've just seen that the window decoration plugin was not ENTIRELY at defaults because of the upgrade [01:09] but I'm saving that one in my notes wiki :P [01:09] lemme see if setting all options to defaults in that fixed things [01:09] lgc: Oh! You have both -generic and -386 installed. So you have a -generic and -386, two of each. You should probably remove the -386 assuming -generic isn't giving you errors [01:09] ahhhh, ok [01:09] mikeg3: 1) reboot in recovery mode 2) 'ls /home' should reveal your username 3) 'passwd YOUR_USERNAME' will let you set a new password 4) reboot [01:09] MachinTrucChose, thats in name resolution,,, hmmm?? [01:10] hi im on wireless but i keep getting "network timeout" on webpages, sometimes they load [01:10] BubbleTea: which model of canon scanner? [01:10] Flannel, I wonder how did the generic one got into my system! [01:10] nope, that didn't help either [01:10] and after an x restart, my shadows are suddenly not white anymore but pink :D [01:10] SeaPhor: I see the name, I recognize it, but I can't ping it...I think it might be a cache thing because it attempts to connect to an IP that is differenct, possibly one from my old network [01:11] Flannel, the standard one in Ubuntu is the non-generic one, I gather. [01:11] lgc: Have you had issues with it? generic is what you should be running by default, 386 is only still around incase generic makes your processor barf [01:11] is there a source for VLC in ubuntu? [01:11] lgc: no, the standard is generic [01:11] actually, yeah, the IP it's trying to ping is from my old network, before I changed routers. Mus have saved that name. [01:11] MachinTrucChose, looking for flush dns for linux,,, ,,,, [01:11] Outie, -- window decorations.. there is a place to choose shadow color. mine is none. [01:11] Hey guys: I need big help here. Is there a program that will create a list of all the possible matches for a regex statement? [01:11] Flannel, doesn't it 'generic' mean plain-vanilla from kernel.org? [01:11] drivetrax: mine is black [01:12] the shadows mess up when *rendering* [01:12] as do the window decorations [01:12] lgc: no, the generic kernel means its good for all the different arches (k7, 686, 386, etc) [01:12] lgc: Generic means the kitchen sink. :P [01:12] saminthemiddle: Many regexes could have infinite matches, you'd have to support only a subset. [01:12] lide [01:12] Flannel, at what price? Any tradeoff? [01:12] saminthemiddle: In any case, it probably wouldn't be too hard to write such a program. [01:12] lgc: and it optimizes based on what you're running, as opposed to having separate -k7, -686, etc [01:12] RyanPrior: yes, but this one doesn't have rinfinate [01:12] lgc: not really, no. [01:12] !generic | lgc [01:12] lgc: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [01:13] Outie, uh.. besides xorg , the video may be affected by the setting of the gamma, or color of the monitor.. say look at those briefly [01:13] lgc: Especially considering that the other ones don't exist anymore ;) [01:13] Oh, I see... let me check that. [01:13] drivetrax: nope === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [01:13] argh! that's cool too, i can play 2 different music streams simultaneaously just like windows [01:13] Flannel: They exist, they are juswt no longer in common use. [01:13] thanks a lot [01:13] RyanPrior: it's really important as I have forgotten my password and it's a strong password. I know the general form (which is why I can write the regex) but a plain bruteforce wolud take far too long (as in years) [01:13] :) [01:13] drivetrax: there used to be a bug in the Hardy beta that caused shadows to be discoloured [01:13] saminthemiddle: Just tokenize the regex, and then do backtracking through all the possible combinations. [01:13] Emry: they don't exist in the ubuntu repositories. Which, for this channel, is existing. [01:13] related to the nvidia driver package and the libwfb module being used [01:14] thakns RyanPrior [01:14] Flannel, what others? The AMD ones? [01:14] Flannel: That is a slightly different statement.heheheheh :P [01:14] trying the workarounds suggested by the various google hits makes my x crash on startup though :( [01:14] Outie, is 'mipmap' set to On [01:14] thanks for all the help seaphor [01:14] MachinTrucChose, np [01:14] Emry: no, we were talking about the kernel flavors for ubuntu, used to hve -686, -k7, etc, now we just have -generic, the others don't exist. [01:14] drivetrax: yup [01:14] saminthemiddle: If you write the program, will you host it somewhere and send me a link? [01:14] turning it off made the shadows vanish entirely now [01:14] :D [01:14] lemme restart x once more [01:15] lgc: 64bit also runs the generic kernel (although its a different generic, they're obviously not identical binaries) [01:15] RyanPrior: sure [01:15] RyanPrior: I'm going to try to find one that already exists though [01:15] saminthemiddle: Good luck. Google search doesn't turn up much for me. [01:15] RyanPrior: I'm not really in a position to do any development as I'm on a liveCD :-P [01:15] My Ubuntu installation won't recognize my 8800GT and it wont boot into the live cd [01:15] shadows are back but pink again, and titlebars on inactive windows are still broken :( [01:16] Flannel: I missread it as to say those architectures don't exist. hehehehe [01:16] okay, why when i TRY to install add-ons or extensions onto Firefox 2 in ubuntu linux hardy i'm getting a Firefox could not install the file on every add-on theme or extension i'm getting [01:16] What's the problem? [01:16] saminthemiddle: gedit + python FTW? [01:17] Outie, uncheck mipmap, and save a session.. then see if x-restart tha same [01:17] drivetrax: have done :( [01:17] saminthemiddle: check out http://www.rulesemporium.com/tools.htm [01:17] saminthemiddle: the one a few items down, "Regex Expander", seems like it could be promising. [01:18] Outie, wha nvidia card? again? [01:18] drivetrax: 8800GTS [01:18] legend2440 lide [01:18] I should note again that this popped up after I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy [01:18] ARGH [01:18] along with a few other problems [01:18] Emry: start with delteing the extensions.rdf file in a subfolder of ~/.mozilla/firefox/... while firefox is closed [01:19] synaptic "sees" the 'universe' part of the repos, aptitude doesn't [01:19] Flannel, I read that, but I wonder if the generic build is able to cope with SMP, for one. [01:19] kbrosnan: I think you misdirected that. I haven't been talking about firefox. [01:19] and the same for multiverse [01:19] that's why i searchjed so long [01:19] ricanelite: start with delteing the extensions.rdf file in a subfolder of ~/.mozilla/firefox/... while firefox is closed [01:19] Greetings all, I got an interesting issue... My configure script can't find Lua anywhere, and I installed everything I can think of to make it find it... checking for lua_newstate in -llua... no [01:19] configure: error: can't find Lua [01:21] BubbleTea: looks like lide is supported https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersCanon [01:21] lgc: they can, yes. [01:21] ping 4.2.2.2 16 packets transmitted, 2 received, 87% packet loss, time 15049ms, what should i try to fix this? im on wireless. [01:21] lgc: In fact, we ditched -smp specific ones before we consolidated the arches [01:21] where do i find the firefox folder under? [01:22] <^Tech-Help^> its hidden [01:22] <^Tech-Help^> cntl+H [01:22] under /home [01:22] Outie, -- this your driver? [01:22] Version: 169.12 [01:22] Operating System: Linux x86 [01:23] kbrosnan, okay i deleted the extensions.rdf file in the firefox folder [01:23] drivetrax: not sure, how do I find out? [01:23] it's the most recent restricted one from the official repos, I know that much ;) [01:23] Flannel, nice. [01:24] Outie, Nvidia-Linux-x86-169.12.pkg1 [01:24] Flannel, let me reboot and I'll get back to you. [01:24] found it in nvidia-settings [01:24] 169.12 indeed [01:24] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.12.html [01:24] kk [01:25] how can i play mp3s in windows partiton with amarok from ubuntu [01:25] omer: just add the files like any other music file [01:25] omer: Ubuntu should automatically mount your Windows partition - check your desktop ;) [01:26] Outie, - please check the linux discussion forum http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14 [01:26] Outie, - if Launchpad did not show a bug.., mebe post it on Nvidia forum [01:27] e-mail 'em [01:27] drivetrax: I'm thinking this may be a related issue to http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/04/28/workaround-for-pink-shadows-with-compiz/ - but the workaround there causes my xorg to crash and restart every time it tries to start ;) [01:27] yeah, cheers - will do that [01:28] well, by "related" I mean "similar" [01:28] Outie:i can not add files in amarok from windows partition, [01:28] windows partition looks like locked [01:29] when I share a folder through Nautilus, where are those settings written? They're not in smb.conf. [01:29] anyone know why virtualbox would cause my wireless to 'vanish?' [01:29] gaintsura: You mean, when you start Virtualbox your wireless stops working? [01:29] no [01:29] what is the proper way to install virtualbox modules for kernel 2.6.24-17-386? i only see -16 in the repos [01:29] I installed virtualbox the other day, and between then and now, I've lost all wireless [01:30] no ath0/wifi0 in ifconfig/iwconfig === lunchbox2_ is now known as lunchbox2 [01:30] Flannel, same old s**t. GRUB boots Linux directly. [01:30] how can i resize a partition that im using in gparted? [01:30] croddy_: Nope, you should be able to install for -generic [01:30] network manager says wired network only [01:30] Outie, ya know, I have had to physically put .so files in the same directory as a program to get the program to use the file, and see it.. perhaps if you copy libwfb.so and put it in Nividia, or xorg.. it might see [01:30] gaintsura, i installed virtualbox and my wired internet wouldnt work [01:31] gaintsura: I don't have a ath0 or wifi0 and my wifi works fine. [01:31] my wireless always shows up as eth1 on here [01:32] RyanPrior: before, I had ath0 as my wireless card [01:32] and now its gone [01:32] I don't know what my wireless device is called. [01:32] can i get some help with compiz here? (misssing window decoration) [01:32] Flannel, you there? [01:32] Krimpet: are you running a broadcom 43xx wireless chip or card ? [01:32] How come gnome-volume-manager won't let me configure which program (if any) to use for playing DVDs? [01:32] It used to be in gnome-volume-properties, but it's not there anymore. [01:33] oldgrizz: iwl3945 [01:33] how can I make Linux use my other monitor? [01:33] (And setting it manually in gconf-editor doesn't seem to work either.) [01:33] quite literally, I'm sitting away from my charger because I can only get on ubuntu with a hardline [01:34] Krimpet: never mind [01:34] forget I asked. [01:35] Just installed xubuntu 8.04: yay! But although my wireless card and network SSID are detected, and I've supplied my WEP key (yes I know WEP is weak)... still no connection despite 87% signal. Hmm? [01:35] Im having trouble to watch video streaming how do i fix it [01:35] jack-desktop: how did you get your wired network connection fixed? [01:36] eongerth, did you try 'dhclient eth1'? [01:36] ttmontoya: You asked that earlier today and I already told you, we can't just give you a fix without know what the problem is or any information about your situation. [01:36] hi all can someone tell me how to disable wireless ? I have a working ethernet connection but it does not show up on the little connections widget only the wireless [01:36] gaintsura, reinstalled ubuntu ;) [01:36] This is the first ubuntu that has been able to run on my 1999 Sony Vaio laptop (pentium III 733mhz.. oof) in full screen resolution so I'm stoked to save it from the landfill. [01:36] is ipod-convenience a ubuntu specific package? does anyone know the website and where you can get releases? I am trying to write an ebuild for gentoo. [01:36] I'd really rather not ^_^ [01:36] lgc: I wasn't aware of that one, I'll try it in terminal [01:36] gaintsura, i mainly reinstalled because i needed to [01:36] i wasn't sure if the deb was the only way to get the files [01:36] trying to do a bunch of copy/pastes. . . ive already figured out everything is cap sensitive, what about 2 word files or folder. . do i leave empty space or underscore? [01:36] what do you need so you can help me [01:36] eongerth, If it doesn't work, try sudoing it. [01:36] I mean, I may be taking a delve into ubuntu... but if it requires that.. I'll just go back to windows [01:37] lgc: thanx. In my case it's not eth1, it's ath0 (atheros-powered card by D-Link) [01:37] ttmontoya: How are you trying to watch the video? What isn't working? Are there error messages? Have you done it successfully before? [01:37] eongerth, OK.

I haven't messed with wine in ages. ^^:: [01:39] vlc [01:39] ttmontoya: Not at all - we're here to help.

[01:42] pytrak: I also suggest using the alternate CD so you can set up encrypted partitions with LVM. [01:42] eongerth, I'll keep a vigilant eye if someone offers you a convincing answer that spares us the reading!

[01:44] how do i chck that [01:45] Gohalien: try hitting ctrl+alt+F2 and logging in at the TTY, if possible. [01:45] eongerth, It won't hurt you, but it's impossible -or at least impractical- if you have to RTFM for every little doubt that comes to mind. [01:45] MachinTrucChose: you should look that up on the 'ls' command section, try ls -la [01:45] Gohalien: Otherwise, you might be able to SSH into your box from another machine and kill the needed processes.

The Alternate Install CD has a wizard to help you set up encrypted partitions, which will ask you for the encryption key at boot up and won't be accessible unless it's given. [01:49] one thing I'd like to figure out sometime is if there's a way to install all the corresponding *-doc packages for everything I have installed, it's nice to have em available but most seem to not be installed by default [01:49] I have a remote XDMC connection to a box on my lan (1 gigabit), but the refresh rate is very poor. I do have sound from the remote machine coming through my speakers which is very nice. I'm using Xnest. Is there any way to get better performance? [01:49] lgc: Not gaming. "Are you game?" is a phrase meaning, would you like to do that? [01:50] RyanPrior, so if my os breaks and i have to boot from a live CD, will i still be able to access my data? [01:50] RyanPrior, thanks for the English class. Off I go... [01:50] RyanPrior, will i have less available space? will reading/writing be slower? [01:50] RyanPrior, TOTEM work with a video i already had on my laptop but how do i use it to watch streaming vids [01:50] chaky, also you can edit it by system. prefrenences. menu editor [01:51] randomwalker: usr/share/backgrounds [01:51] llgc: I got a connection! sudo ifup ath0 (or eth1 in your case) [01:51] pyrak: You will be able to read your data as long as you know the encryption key. The encryption does not decrease your amount of usable space I don't think, but it does increase the CPU overhead of read/write operations somewhat. [01:51] legend2440, but what about the ones i manually add? i figure they are copied to ~/.wallpaper or something like that? [01:51] pyrak: There are some benchmarks available which show that disk performance is 1-5% worse for encrypted partitions. [01:52] Since I have upgraded to Hardy, my system won't recognize my main data drive and my performance has taken a huge hit. Is there a way to use Synaptic or Aptget to roll back to Gutsy? [01:52] how can i assign hostnames to ip adresses, wasn't there specific filename like ".hosts" for that? [01:52] RyanPrior, hm, so there's a slight tradeoff byt not much [01:52] but* [01:52] ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs [01:52] Ecclesiastes: nope [01:52] i mean for other hosts in my network, not for the same machine [01:52] I'm looking for a little help with permissions. Network drive crashed put the network drive in the PC and I don't have rights to move the files to a new harddrive so I can reformat the network drive. Any gurus want to help me out? [01:52] i would *love* to know why upgrading causes so many issues with hardy === shree is now known as shree_ [01:53] Ecclesiastes: thats an interesting question, I should get a virtual machine going, and figure out a way [01:53] I downloaded google earth update in a .bin file. How do i install it? ver 8.04 [01:53] what is the best encypt a pdf file [01:53] almost unanimously, the problems i'm seeing with hardy are from users who upgraded from gutsy [01:53] lunchbox: sudo is key [01:53] Daisuke_Laptop: upgrades always tend to cause issues. Hardy has actually been remarkably issue-free for many upgraders. [01:53] what is the best encypt a pdf file [01:53] !repeat | BubbleTea [01:53] BubbleTea: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [01:54] BubbleTea: if you install the SeaHorse encryption helper, it adds a "Encrypt file..." item to your right-click context menu, which is a very easy way to encrypt files such as PDFs. [01:54] randomwalker: right click blank space on desktop>change desktop background>background hover over thumbnail of background should tell you where it is stored [01:54] Daisuke_Laptop: I had several issues that were solved via a clean install [01:54] not issue-free for me - xorg doesn't detect my display hardware properly and I'm limited to 800x600 with the nv driver, and 640x480 with the nvidia driver. [01:54] iRRvi , my experience in linux is extremely limited I need someone to hold my hand or point me in the right direction - sudo leaves me stranded i'm not knowledgeable enough [01:54] worked fine in gutsy [01:54] danbhfive: that's exactly what i'm talking about. [01:54] ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs [01:54] legend2440, thanks [01:54] my issues were with a clean install [01:54] Hi all, could anyone help me with this perl related error when configuring webmin [01:55] Daisuke_Laptop: There are many ways that upgrades can go wrong. This is to be expected. Look at how nasty the upgrade path from Windows XP to Windows Vista was! [01:55] ware does ubuntu install programs? [01:55] Daisuke_Laptop: We're much better at upgrades than they are, fortunately. On the whole, many people's upgrades go smoothly. (Mine did.) [01:55] and it's real nice now that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg entirely bypasses display configuration [01:55] RyanPrior what is this SeaHorse do i have to dl [01:55] lunchbox: i would help but i get frustrated with new users too easily and would get mad and tell you to do something stupid [01:55] it says insecure $env{path} in apaches' error log while trying to execute the .pl files [01:56] :( [01:56] jason: All over the place. Use Synaptic (or dpkg) to find out where the files were individually installed. [01:56] lunchbox2: sorry...but its for your own good [01:56] BubbleTea: You can install it via Add / Remove programs. [01:56] ok thanks RyanPrior [01:56] ubuntu 8.04 on dell xps 1st gen: when using bluetooth and connecting to my fone it freezes and blinks the caps and scroll lock LEDs [01:57] If I use a knoppix LiveCD, what parts of Hardy do I have to destroy so that a Gutsy installer will do a repair? [01:57] RyanPrior: "better than xp to vista" isn't saying much, i would have said *much* better :) but it just seems there's a larger minority with upgrade related problems this time around. then again, that could also be due to the fact that there's a larger overall installed base than the release before, or the release before that, or... you see where i'm going. [01:57] jason: you can use the whereis command also [01:57] I cannot have a call and music playing at the same time (Skype + RhythmBox) [01:57] iRRVi: That sounds bad! Flashing LEDs often indicate a Linux kernel panic. [01:57] iS anyebody here know how to use OPENBOX. [01:57] Anyone know a fix? [01:57] Hi all, has anyone installed webmin with apache [01:57] Anyone else want to take a stab at helping me out? [01:57] hmm... ok [01:57] Anyone know a C compiler that can create executables? gcc isn't cutting it. [01:57] RyanPrior: it didnt do this until recently [01:57] RyanPrior: nevermind, you did say much better :P [01:57] RyanPrior i don't see it [01:58] osxdude|overhere: what are you compiling? [01:58] Daisuke_Laptop: One of the common causes of complaints has been sound, which has had a major overhaul in the latest upgrade. [01:58] RyanPrior: possibly the installation of bitpim...but i dont have it running or anything [01:58] osxdude|overhere: it would help if you had gcc. install the build-essential package, and as always, check the !repos for prebuilt packages [01:58] btw RyanPrior i was looking for open arena [01:58] osxdude|overhere: mingw [01:58] okokok [01:58] lunchbox do a google on sudo and read as much as you can [01:58] Hey, guys... Is it possible to run two window systems at the same time? Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F6 [01:58] i downloaded google earth update in a .bin file. How do i install it? [01:58] RyanPrior: sound is a big one i've seen, and nvidia issues skyrocketed with hardy [01:58] jason: You're looking for the launcher, or the installation files? [01:58] osxdude|overhere, ehm, what? [01:58] osxdude|overhere: if you create code in linux i don't think you can make an exe, because you don't have any of the windows stuff at all, and exe is windows, not sure though [01:59] bash: cd: /opt/lost+found: Permission denied [01:59] ( [01:59] jrib: It's the UnrealIRCd | Daisuke_Laptop: it says gcc will not create executables [01:59] osxdude|overhere: install build-essential [01:59] installation files im trying to add a pro mod somting or another [01:59] osxdude|overhere, you need to install build-essential [01:59] RyanPrior, [01:59] you need that to compile *anything* [01:59] OH [01:59] it's plural! [01:59] ok. [01:59] Daisuke_Laptop: Yeah, and would ya believe it, both have to do with non-free components: Adobe Flash for sound, and nVidia drivers for graphics. === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude [01:59] lol [01:59] shree_: Since webmin was removed from ubuntu, you're not likely to get much support for it here [01:59] i didin't know it was plural. [02:00] Hey, guys... Is it possible to run two window systems at the same time? Ctrl+Alt+F7 and Ctrl+Alt+F6 [02:00] osxdude: it's not plural :/ [02:00] Why do we have osxdude and osxdude|overhere? Confused. [02:00] RyanPrior: any possiblity i need to install some things for bluetooth stuff? [02:00] oh [02:00] wait [02:00] can someone instruct me on how to manually configure my sound card??? [02:00] I got sound problems on hardy anyone know any easy fixes [02:00] genii: i didnt know that. anyone now i am pinging on #perl [02:00] gah, i'm a dumbass [02:00] what is in the lost+found directory ? [02:00] eboyjr: yes [02:00] eboyjr: virtualbox or vmware [02:00] I meant it's NOT plural :P [02:00] eboyjr: F7 and up is normal, yes [02:00] osxdude: have you installed Leo4All? [02:00] I cannot access it [02:00] genii: a sleepy looking community [02:00] hm, Ecclesiastes ? [02:00] iRRVi: I don't know much about that problem. I've never used Bluetooth, and I'm bad at diagnosing kernel panics, so I'm the wrong person to talk to all around. :-( [02:00] RyanPrior: most definitely, and while i would love to see everyone use completely free software, that's just not feasible with nvidia having majority marketshare [02:01] RyanPrior: okie [02:01] eboyjr: there's a program in System Tools > New Login that does this easily, you might have to edit your menu to enable it [02:01] can someone instruct me on how to manually configure my sound card??? [02:01] RyanPrior, i was looking for the install files im installeing a pro mod thingi but i found ware it is its in user/share/games [02:01] osxdude: the Leopard for PC x86 system [02:01] jason: cool. Did you check it in synaptic? [02:01] Oh [02:01] Ecclesiastes: i'm on a Mac Mini :) [02:02] Is it possible to get near realtime response over an XDMC connection on a lan? [02:02] yeah RyanPrior [02:02] I have an old desktop (that actually was replaced by the Mac) that i'm going to use as a server) [02:02] jason: Alright. That's a neat little app. [02:02] osxdude: At least you know that works, eh? [02:02] Yep. Working great. [02:03] so no [02:03] yeah i like it [02:03] no one can help me??? [02:03] how do I add a user to a group? [02:03] ubuntu finds my sound card and acts like it works but I get no sound and it's not muted lol [02:03] hilarious [02:03] who what soundcard is it? [02:03] osxdude: Hardy Heron is still expermental. I was runnin gutsy ( 7.10 ) and it was REAL nice. [02:03] soundblaster live [02:04] Ecclesiastes: The desktop has 8.04. :) [02:04] It says, "GDM (GNOME Display Manager) is not running" yet when I type "sudo gdm", it says, "GDM is already running" [02:04] who, what isn't working [02:04] danbhfive: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups -> Unlock -> Groups [02:04] osxdude: it was so nice, I upgraded to Hardy without serious hesitation. [02:04] astro76: ^ [02:04] i can't hear any sound and it says it can't find the device [02:04] eboyjr: why did you do that? [02:04] when i boot windows it works [02:04] LiGhTMaGiCk: laptop or desktop? [02:05] Same, Ecclesiastes . Upgrade was easy too. (upgrade performed on laptop, desktop had it installed new) [02:05] gateway laptop [02:05] eboyjr: oh the New Login gave the first error? [02:05] it worked with 7.10 but when i upgraded to 8.04 it didnt work [02:05] eboyjr: never run gui stuff with sudo, btw [02:05] LiGhTMaGiCk: is it in a docking station? [02:05] no [02:05] who, did ya c heck at alsa site to see if it is a supportrd carfd [02:05] nope [02:06] LiGhTMaGiCk: I know Dell has a docking station issue with sound for some systems Like mine :o) [02:06] who, bring up the mixer, tab over to switches, uncheck the SoundBlaster Analog/Digital [02:06] my sound card "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" [02:06] if updating the bluez stuff doesnt fix my problems, ima be pissoff [02:06] who maybe this will help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [02:07] when i try to open the mixer it says No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. [02:07] LiGhTMaGiCk: no sound at all or in rythmbox or amarok? [02:07] i've got no sound in anything [02:08] LiGhTMaGiCk: I wouldnt be able to help you... sorry.... keep asking in here [02:08] thx for trying [02:08] Is there any paticluar reason that the media keys on my laptop not only change the volume of "Master" but "PCM" as well [02:08] anytime [02:08] heres another link for sound https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [02:09] Slyboots: my guess would be because its configured that way...dont know how to configure it else though [02:09] -fr [02:09] Where could I find a list of packages that the Hardy upgrader typically installs?

[02:12] anyone here able to help me diagnose my kernel panic? [02:13] gar1: which 'device' do you want to 'access' 0.o [02:13] where do i get device-access?

Like, that can easily do fractions, greek symbols etc without hunting for the symbols in a normal word processor? If that makes sense? [02:34] matthew: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [02:34] its pretty funny hey [02:34] my box has been falling apart lately x.x' [02:34] hi, why isn't visor module automatically added to list of default module on startup when gnome palm applet is installed? it would be more user friendly for non-computer-geek like most of us [02:34] before i found out about thier new mascot i got my mother an ati card [02:34] Is it possible to control the amount of memory a program uses? [02:34] matthew then: sudo nvidia-settings [02:34] im so glad she was at work when i installed her radeon [02:34] matthew: then make sure you save your settings to the xorg.conf it has a button [02:34] cos like tits ++ [02:34] i setup imap for gmail in evolution but not recieving messages?

[02:37] can i repeat my question? [02:37] Does anyone know of a word processor that is good for typing mathematics/stats assignments? Like, that can easily do fractions, greek symbols etc without hunting for the symbols in a normal word processor? If that makes sense? [02:37] fabian32: que pasa? [02:37] I upgraded to ubuntu 8.04, everything has been working fine until 2 days ago, i noticed my audio is always on mute, and when i try to unmute it, it compains that GStreamer plugin was not found. Other than that, my usual user does not have sudo privilages anymore, i suspect Virtual Box, since i had to add this user to vboxuser to user vbox. Also when i restart my XServer (wether logging out... [02:37] ...or ctrl + alt + backspace) i try to relogin, and it hangs at a blank screen with a white box at the top left of the screen about 200x200px, i have to do a complete reboot in order to log in again. [02:37] u told me the wonders of chown [02:38] Anyone know some good last.fm clients for GTK+/GNOME? [02:38] !mediaubuntu [02:38] Factoid mediaubuntu not found [02:38] !tell anteaya about decss [02:38] fabian32: ah, I remember, your welcome!

[02:39] Xecuter88, I mean things that directly accept lastfm:// streams. [02:39] maybe you should restart [02:39] anybody else having a problem where youtube videos stop playing after 5 seconds or so with 8.10/FF3/Official Adobe plugin? [02:39] Xecuter88: i have problems with totem, does vlc work? [02:39] oddalot: ok can u stick around i really appreciate ur help, i brb okay [02:39] r00723r0, yes amarok will do that [02:39] is there some kind of problem between emerald and hardy? [02:39] Xecuter88, and Amarok is for GTK+/GNOME? [02:39] k [02:40] r00723r0, no kde, but its still usable under gnome... and its the best musicplayer ever :P [02:40] r00723r0- no,it's for kde. [02:40] ... [02:40] Xecuter88, no, I refuse. [02:40] r00723r0, why? [02:40] im going to have to use kmail i guess [02:40] r00723r0- you have plenty of other choices. [02:40] That's such a dumb question that I might have to explode. [02:40] I just asked for GTK+/GNOME specifically. [02:40] r00723r0, and why is that? [02:40] r00723r0- i personally like vlc. [02:40] r00723r0, Rhythmbox [02:41] Do these all accept lastfm:// streams? [02:41] r00723r0- Ahadiel is also correct.rythmbox looks/feels more like a music player. [02:41] how would i get rid of fwcutter in order to use ndiswrapper? [02:41] thompa, yes vlc plays... [02:41] evilbug: well vlc works, [02:41] ugly though [02:41] thompa- :) i know.it's not that ugly.just simple. [02:41] vlc is better than superman [02:42] thompa- want to help me with emerald? [02:42] So do these all accept lastfm:// streams? [02:42] r00723r0- they should. [02:42] fabian32: where should i found catalyst icon ? [02:42] I have a last.fm plugin for Exaile and it doesn't seem to accept lastfm:// streams. [02:42] oddalot: ok my resolution stayed but my logon screen is still missing the bottom, its off [02:42] r00723r0- i know vlc accepts almost anything.you might have to put in the link(s) yourself though. [02:42] hi [02:43] hi [02:43] can any one help me wiyh the brasero program? [02:43] hi [02:43] can anyone tell me if there's some kinds of compatibility issue between hardy and emerald? [02:43] oddalot: is there a way to fix that? [02:43] m1r: under other [02:43] r00723r0, might want to try #exaile for that [02:43] in applications [02:43] evilbug: the player mandriva uses is best my opinion, and installs in ubuntu [02:43] fiyawerx, alright. [02:43] Thanks all. [02:43] drowner_: in synaptic there is a openoffice addon called openoffice.org-math. never tried it myself but i think it makes it easier to insert equations and math symbols in documents [02:44] evilbug: sory have not tried emerald yet [02:44] thompa- i'm a itunes and winamp fan myself. [02:44] thompa- no worries. [02:44] evilbug, im running emerald with no issues [02:44] then get xmms2 [02:44] or some frontend for it [02:44] fiyawerx- i just installed hardy on a macbook pro with compiz and everything but emerald just won't load. [02:44] cheers legend [02:45] evilbug, do you get any errors when you start it from a console [02:45] does anyone know why my screen resolution is fine now but my main logon screen where I could pick KDE or Gnome etc is off, how can I adjust it, I'm missing the bottom..? [02:45] drowner_: if you are serious about typesetting math, you should take some time to learn LaTeX [02:45] matthew i don't know, who cares anyway, as long as you can login it doesn't matter, i would say just move on to better things.. [02:45] i don't know if copy the bin file, or the toc file... i'm workingo on in my laptop & only have one cdRw [02:45] fiyawerx- haven't tried.i open up the config and that works fine,the windows won't show up like it though. [02:45] oddalot: what if I use example. KDE or something, I can't get my mouse down to select it lol [02:45] fiyawerx- it worked well with gutsy though. [02:45] anybody here successfully playing youtube movies on 8.04? [02:45] imap + gmail + evolution anyone. its broke.. [02:46] fabian32: what should i set to try fix screen flickering in control center ? [02:46] evilbug, you've imported some themes? [02:46] jrib: I have to hand in one stats assignment.... the next part of my course will deal with sociology and medical sciences [02:46] fiyawerx- not yet. [02:46] so i won't need it after today, for a while ;) [02:46] evolution suks [02:46] 3d games tip, set vsych to always off to boost fps at the expense of visual tearing [02:46] fiyawerx- it's still supposed to load the default theme. [02:46] malsyned: in FF3? [02:46] any?? [02:46] Goldfisch: have you any more information to offer on the topic of decss or libdvdcss2? I just tried to follow the instructions for downloading libdvdcss2 prior to posting in chat, and despite what appeared to be error free command execution, I do not seem to have successfully aquired libdvdcss2. Any further suggestions? [02:46] matthew try making sure the settings are saved in nvidia-settings, and you save them to your xorg.conf [02:46] mrix_: yeah [02:47] ok question..:D does anybody know a good graphical demanding game I can install using .deb file? [02:47] oddalot: my screen resolution is staying now, wouldn't that mean they are saved? I'm not sure [02:47] anteaya: search for ubuntu restricted and go to dvd section [02:47] do i copy the *.bin file?? or the *.toc file? [02:47] thompa: thank you i will attempt that [02:47] fabian32: that i should set in games u mean ? [02:47] anteaya: there is link to adding media ubuntu repos [02:47] fiyawerx- no clue? [02:47] matthew, no make sure it's saved to the xorg.conf [02:48] malsyned: i do, but it's tricky as flash wants to obtain exclusive sound access therefore i have to exit any running sound players :( [02:48] oddalot: Im still a n00b can u explain to me how to do that :-S sorry [02:48] mrix_: on mine, the video stops after two seconds until I manually seek the stream. [02:48] anteaya: I haven't had to deal with it for a while. Just a sec... [02:48] thompa: thank you I have already added the mediabuntu repos in my unsuccessful attempt in downloaded libdvdcss2, but i will look [02:49] malsyned: seems like you have another issue... [02:49] malsyned: video works fine for me [02:49] Goldfisch: thank you, your help is appreciated [02:49] mrix_: do you have libflashsupport installed? [02:49] oddalot: my desktop effects are working fine again btw [02:49] matthew just make sure it's set in nvidia-settings to the correct resolution and hit the button save to xorg.conf if that doesn't work, i don't know what to tell you [02:49] m1r: nah set it your siaplay manager [02:49] like in catalyst control centre or nvidia-settings [02:49] when I try to shut down or restart via System > Quit, the process hangs on killing either X or Nautilus because my wallpaper is still displayed (everything else is gone) until I Control+Alt+Backspace to kill X. Any ideas as to what's wrong? [02:49] its a driver setting [02:49] malsyned: not sure, how do i check that? [02:49] no one use brasero? [02:50] b1z4rr0: I do, somewhat [02:50] fabian32: i dont see that option (vsync) in catalyst [02:50] ill look now [02:50] other>CCC [02:50] malsyned: i do watch youtube movies just fine [02:50] yes [02:50] mrix_: with synaptec, or by running 'aptitude show libflashsupport' and looking for a line starting "State: " [02:50] 3d>more settings [02:50] rainwalker: do i copy the bin file or the toc file? [02:50] greg little box all the way to the left [02:50] so it says always off [02:50] mrix_: the description for that package suggests that it will solve your audio issues with it. [02:50] then reboot [02:51] How do you change the directory the terminal is focusing on? [02:51] then run your demanding 3d game in fullscreen [02:51] b1z4rr0: sorry, I just came in the room, what problem are you having? [02:51] oddalot: make sure my resolution is saved in there? I have NVIDIA X Server Settings window open and its set to 1280 x 1024 like I need, is that okay? [02:51] although it's possible that that's what's causing my troubles :/ [02:51] Goldfisch, and thompa: just so we are talking about the same thing, i already have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package, and I can not locate or find libdvdcss2 [02:51] fabian32: tnx, i rebooting [02:51] Zaiden: do you mean how to change directories same as in DOS cd [02:51] cool [02:51] Hi...can anyone help me with Samba? I shared a folder through Nautilus, and I'd like to know where those share settings are saved. There is no mention of my shared folders in smb.conf. [02:52] malsyned: oh, thanks! will try that now... [02:52] can anybody tell me, how i can merge my menus ? [02:52] To change it so the terminal can run files from the desktop [02:52] in menu editor, if i drag the system menu into applications, it wont respond [02:52] right click then click on edit menus [02:52] Right now it says "mike@Mike" [02:53] Zaiden: yes that's correct it will always say that [02:53] matthew click save to X configureation file [02:53] Zaiden: just do cd ~/Desktop or any other directory [02:53] fabian32: any ideas ? [02:53] anyone? No Samba fans around? [02:53] rainwalker: i'm trying to burn a disc... working in my lapot, so i have only one cdrw... don't know if burn th toc file or the bin file [02:53] /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [02:53] fabian32: still flickering :/ [02:53] arbir: ideas on what? [02:53] b1z4rr0: what is it you're trying to burn? [02:54] m1r: sorry i dont really know [02:54] matthew did you click the button? [02:54] fabian32: i need to merge my menus, when i open menu editor and then drag the system folder into the applications folder, it wont work [02:54] malsyned: it worked! Great thanks :) [02:54] oddalot: yeah [02:54] then you are set [02:54] maybe [02:54] if not, i can't help you [02:54] a mp3 disc... [02:54] anteaya: I have been following a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=396738. See if that helps. [02:54] malsyned: BTW do you have direct rendering enabled ? [02:54] mrix_: glad to hear it. Now I just have to figure out how to make it work for me! [02:54] fabian32: no problem, tnx for help with ccc :) [02:54] i hate messing with the xorg.conf manually [02:54] mrix_: not sure. how would I check that? [02:55] Goldfisch: thank you i will look [02:55] rainwalker: trying to copy a disc, a mp3 disk [02:55] b1z4rr0: hmm...sorry, I have no idea [02:55] Hi, someone know if is possible showing in vlc a vnc session? [02:56] is there a way to prevent the "recovery" X server from ever running? [02:56] cool [02:56] im out cyas [02:56] oddalot: seems alright, I'm gonna maybe restart once more to make sure nothing messes up upon booting up etc...really thanks very much for sticking with me [02:56] malsyned: glxinfo |grep direct [02:56] anyeaya: FYI, I just executed that thread's procedure and it worked. (I only installed libdvdcss2). The DVD I couldn't play a moment ago now works. [02:56] =) [02:56] mrix_: direct rendering: Yes [02:57] rainwalker: thk anyway... should i use k3b or gnomebaker?? [02:57] b1z4rr0: I [02:57] b1z4rr0: sorry, I've only ever used brasero and k3b [02:57] I have a xp box set up to be the home for my printer, my wife's vista machine found the printer without issue but on Hardy when i go to System Settings > Printers > Add > Add Printer > SMB Shared Printer then hit the "scan" button to scan the network I only see the Hardy machine. But if i go to Remote Places from the "System Menu" I can see all 3 machines (the xp box, vista box and this box) what am i doing wrong? tips on setting up a wind [02:57] ows hosted printer using the graphical tool? [02:57] malsyned: hm, then i have no ideas for you...sorry :( [02:57] I switched to the "Human List" Login window for the face browser, now after a week of hardy, no faces are showing up. What changed? [02:58] mrix_: found an ubuntu forum thread about it. hopefully there's a resolution there. [02:58] thanks [02:58] Does anyone know a decent graphical demanding game I could install of off Synaptic or .deb files? [02:58] rainwalker: i have use k3b... i use to work with kubuntu... now i'm xubuntu, so...i was trying to use brasero... [02:58] matthew: tremulous [02:59] danbhfive: is it in Synaptic? [02:59] rainwlaker: i 'll install k3b [03:00] test [03:00] anyone else got the blank "face browser" on hardy? [03:01] how can i find out which process is a zombie process? top lists one and i want to kill it. [03:01] Thanks, Gonna run for now...You all have a good one :-) PEACE [03:01] binMonkey, if top already lists it, you should already have the pid [03:02] with wubi how do you know that its done? [03:02] LabThug: top has a listing for zombie, eg: "zombie: 1"; it doesn't list the pid. [03:03] Goldfisch has quit unfortunately. thompa, thank you for your help, I seem to have all of the extra codecs and libs that the various wikis and forums are suggesting but I can seem to find a libdvdcss2 repo that gives me the download. [03:03] anteaya: medibuntu didnt work? [03:03] binMonkey, have you tried `ps ax` ? [03:03] can anybody please help me to edit my menu ? [03:04] What's that command that cleans up old package dependencies after you uninstall a package [03:04] i had tried it before i posted to the channel in the first place danbhfive, and it didn't give me libdvdcss2 [03:04] does acpi do anything for a 24/7 server? [03:04] !medibuntu [03:04] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:04] or is it just powersavings mode like sleep, etc [03:04] !acpi [03:04] Factoid acpi not found [03:04] anyone know how to disable that "Feature" in which when desktop effects are enabled, windows that are not in focus have a semi-transparent window decoration? [03:05] LabThug: i didn't know about that. thanks lab, i found it.

[03:08] When I full-screen flash video (FF3, 8.04, flash-nonfree) it always fullscreens to my first display instead of the display the FF window is on. anybody know how to fix that? [03:08] Does anyone use Elisa? I can't get DVD playback to work. [03:08] with wubi how do you know that its done? because it downloaded i got a cookie and i came back and it was just closed. [03:09] FelipeS: best place to start looking would probably be in the compizconfig-settings-manager package, which creates an "Advanced Desktop Effects" option under System->Preferences [03:09] err and i ate the cookie for 2hrs [03:09] hey - does anybody know how to activate compiz in hardy? [03:10] workmaster2n: System > Preferences > Appearance; Visual Effects tab [03:10] malsyned: I did. I think I've been through every option, however I cannot find somewhere to toggle that on or off [03:10] makario: I'm there [03:10] how do i get emerald to work with compiz and gnome? [03:11] Set it to Normal, workmaster2n [03:11] hello people, I installed the Ubuntu 8.0.4 in an new hd now, and after first restart my computer show this message: "Master Boot Record Error". Any suggestion? [03:11] makario: ok - it is set to normal [03:11] workmaster2n: So it's enabled? [03:11] dan is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [03:11] How do I fix that? Im trying to sudo... [03:11] anyone familair with fermats theory? [03:12] a^n + b^n = c^ for n < 3? [03:12] makario - I used compiz in ubuntu 7.10 and there was a place where I could turn features on and off (like the cube and wobbly windows) - how do i access those features? [03:12] LabThug, yes, N is exponent? [03:12] aye [03:12] hello? [03:13] Can anyone help me as to why samba isn't installing? Heres the terminal output http://linux.pastebin.com/d3873e133 [03:13] exponential correct? [03:13] workmaster2n: Install compizconfig-settings-manager through Synaptic for more options. [03:13] FelipeS: I just ran 'gtk-window-decorator --opacity 1 --replace' and it got rid of what you're complaining about. I dunno how to make that permanent, though. [03:13] how can i add a quit command to my menu ? [03:13] barfman_, yes but it only works when n < 3 [03:13] makario: i can't find that in the package manager [03:13] that's fine.' [03:13] workmaster2n Perhaps I said the wrong name, then. Hold on. [03:14] LabThug, tryign to write a python script to work the math and proove it. [03:14] flannel you here? [03:14] malsyned: maybe through some script to load every time at boot. However, I hate those types of hacks. [03:14] weird; I just installed 'mondo' -- a filesystem recovery tool, and amongst the suggested packages is 'petris' -- I think they're hinting that filesystem recovery takes a long time :) [03:14] FelipeS: me too [03:14] fde: hi are you here today ? [03:14] workmaster2n: compizconfig-settings-manager is the right name. [03:14] barfman_, good luck. Lots of others have done the same. I believe it has to do with two cubes (or higher) exceeding the rate of another cube, but that's just me [03:14] LabThug, cube? [03:14] s/have done/have tried to do/ [03:14] workmaster2n Just search for 'compiz settings' in Synaptic. [03:15] barfman_, cube == x^3 [03:15] sdb11 says it is OPT, and I want to slice off 94GB .. and have a data ext3 directory [03:15] I've got a raid 1 array that shows as 100% full with df, even though it isn't. df -i does not show as full. any ideas? [03:15] do I need to enable something in the synaptic package manager - when I search for compizconfig-settings-manager it does not come up [03:15] part of learning python, but, i'm failing miserably [03:16] makario: I searched for compiz settings in synaptic, there is no configuration manager listed for me [03:16] malsyned: thanks anyway [03:16] workmaster2n: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [03:16] barfman_, i've failed before i even started,,, i so lost [03:17] makario: 8.04 Hardy Heron [03:17] i want to learn programming, but, i don't think it's for me. either that or i'm trying to learn too much too fast [03:17] When I type in a command who's program is not all ready installed, Ubuntu is smart enough to sometimes tell me which package to download--how does it do this? Is it using auto-apt? [03:17] I have a xp box set up to be the home for my printer, my wife's vista machine found the printer without issue but on Hardy when i go to System Settings > Printers > Add > Add Printer > SMB Shared Printer then hit the "scan" button to scan the network I only see the Hardy machine. But if i go to Remote Places from the "System Menu" I can see all 3 machines (the xp box, vista box and this box) what am i doing wrong? tips on setting up a wind [03:17] ows hosted printer using the graphical tool? [03:17] workmaster2n: Is it a fresh install? Have you hit the Reload button in Synaptic yet? [03:17] aw. FelipeS quit and I just found an answer for him. [03:17] what is ~/.gvfs? [03:18] workmaster2n it's this package; compizconfig-settings-manager [03:18] makario: I found my error - I had to hit reload in synaptic [03:18] makario: you were exactly right - thank you very much [03:18] workmaster2n: Install that package, and you'll be able to tweak your settings. (The "Extra" setting in the Visual Effects tab will give you wobbly windows, by the way.) [03:19] does anyone have an issue where displayconfig-gtk doesnt save so your stuck with 800x600 resolution? any ideas how to fix that? [03:19] Fritzel: it lets you browse Gnome GVFS mounts from legacy programs like command line apps. === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [03:19] Anyone familiar with either the unexpand command or another way to convert multiple spaces in a text file to tabs? [03:19] Mr_Sonoma, is your hardy box on the same SAMBA workgroup as the windows ones? [03:19] yes [03:20] makario: Thank you! [03:20] Mr_Sonoma, can you specify IP instead of name and get it to work that way? [03:20] malsyned, when doing an lsof is this normal for everyone? lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/mhollisjr/.gvfs [03:20] LabThug, i haven't tried that [03:21] Fritzel: dunno [03:22] Fritzel: doesn't seem to happen to me [03:22] ubuntu recognizes my sound card but i have no sound "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" [03:22] Is the volume up? [03:22] malsyned, do you happen to have any clue what it means? I'm not sure where to begin trying to figure out what the problem is [03:22] yeah not muted volume max [03:23] Mr_Sonoma: Are you by chance from Sonoma County, CA? Just curious. [03:23] LiGhTMaGiCk, because there are a couple of sliders that will screw you up [03:23] Fritzel: not really. but if I had to guess, I'd start by seeing if there was anything weird in that directory, like maybe one of your GVFS network mounts was having connection problems or something. [03:23] STSX, no I am not [03:23] LiGhTMaGiCk, PCM is the one that I forget to turn up sometimes [03:24] Mr_Sonoma: OK, just wondering. :) [03:24] will wubi break my windows install? [03:24] or can it [03:24] yeah checked pcm already [03:24] malsyned, hang on I think I know what might be doing it, ipod [03:24] alright short of hooking the monitor to the xp box how can i find its ip address? [03:24] LiGhTMaGiCk, No idea then [03:25] please, I need help. I can't get a scrollbar visible in some GNOME apps, yet my profile has them set to visible. I've been asking this question for a while, I've been posting this question on the forums for a while, and still no answer, not even an acknowledgment. PLEASE HELP!!!! [03:25] Mr_Sonoma: nmap your network [03:25] Mr_Sonoma, you could do a packet capture. Windows networks are very chatty (what with their elections and all) and you'll find it eventually\ [03:25] How would I go about removing the Java JRE installed by default and replacing it with Sun's Java JRE, Java 1.4? [03:25] JDSBlueDevl: I'm acknowledging you, but I have no idea how to fix your problem. [03:25] I have a remote XDMC session working at full speed and desktop sounds work, but I get no sound when I play games. I have installed the Pulse Audio applet, and tinkered with that. Is it possible to get sound from games etc over XDMC? [03:26] McRib, why would u want to go an older version of java? [03:26] usser: Frostwire apparently requires it. [03:26] who was the person who needed medibuntu help? [03:26] McRib: you can install multiple versions of java side by side [03:26] usser: I've been able to install Frostware on Gutsy and below by installing sun-java6-jre, but now Frostwire is complaining about not being able to find Java. [03:27] McRib, or better [03:27] McRib: then choose the one you want with sudo update-alternatives --config java [03:27] McRib, ^ [03:27] Mr_Sonoma, if you have one of those Linksys routers, they usually print out a list of machines and IPs on their status page [03:27] regarding .gvfs how's this for wierd http://pastebin.com/d5ef3f8c1 [03:28] wastrel: Wow..that did it. I've never heard of update-alternatives. Thank you :) [03:28] Fritzel: looks like the process that was providing the data to the mount point has died. [03:28] I have an Ativa [03:28] ubuntu recognizes my sound card but i have no sound "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" [03:29] malsyned, being that I have no idea why it's even there, a reboot could clear it up? [03:29] bullgard1: Thanks for the clarification--but does it find programs within packages? That's what CASmith claims apt-file does. [03:29] Mr_Sonoma, never used that type. Does it have a web interface? [03:29] Fritzel: likely just a log out/log in would do it. [03:29] Mr_Sonoma, you could also try to list the name instead of the IP [03:29] yes it does but not as detailed as a linksys/cisco [03:29] malsyned, I've done that several times now [03:29] LiGhTMaGiCk, try this: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options [03:29] add these lines: [03:29] options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack model=laptop [03:29] options snd-hda-intel index=0 probe_mask=3 position_fix=3 model=laptop [03:29] hello [03:29] open up alsamixer and unmute pcm [03:30] mono_james, yup and then unmute pcm [03:30] how can i go about adding custom icons to ubuntu? like for the folders and all those system icons.. (preferably these: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=79434) [03:31] Fritzel: That's weird. A reboot may do it. I thought that that mount point was created every time you logged in. [03:31] Why is it that even though 8.04 ships with nVidia networking drivers my nForce adapter cannot connect to the internet? [03:31] gparted is carving down my huge /opt file directory, and making a new partition to the end of disk [03:32] malsyned, if I knew how to stop it from even showing up I would I have no network mounts except my ipod and it doesn't seem to be related [03:32] hello all, I'm wondering if anyone knows the actual package name for the "Add/Remove Programs" program in ubuntu? i'm currently running linux mint on my laptop here, and i want to add that functionality if possible [03:32] er wait could virtualbox cause that sort of connection? [03:32] malsyned, ^^ [03:32] Fritzel: not positive how to shut it down, but hopefully the Gnome guys have some docs on GVFS on their site. [03:33] malsyned, -nod- [03:33] I am considering adding a "support" feature to my blog. First I want to see the quality of the service. would someone mind going into a private channel and helping me test it? If so, tell me now. [03:33] Fritzel: it's a fairly new subsystem, I'm not sure what it's being used for yet. Mostly, I think, for when you go to Places -> Connect to Server [03:33] Hey guys, I'm running the newest version of ubuntu in a virtualbox on linux - I'm having a hard time accessing shares (namely I want to run apache on the virtualbox and use that as my test enviroment) - any ideas what could be causing the issue? I'm able to see the shares from my XP machine, but not my vista one - I hear updating samba helps but I'm unsure how to :S [03:33] is it normal to have a itunes something plugin in ff3? [03:34] on vista* [03:34] hi i have been trying to make my system so that when i add a user through Users settings it will automatically be only able to access ~ [03:34] malsyned, well I'll try the reboot then, thanks for the help [03:35] Fritzel: no problem. [03:35] can you get around it by using an ftp server instead? [03:35] airstrike: that's not an icon set, those are just a bunch of images. [03:36] i went to check the integrity of an ubuntu dvd i burned to update to hardy and it's been well over 2 hours and the status bar hasn't filled up at all. do i just assume that it's corrupt?

[03:49] hey, I have a Dell XPS m1530 and i'm having issues with the internal microphone, i have it set to digital input,etc but you can just barely hear anything recorded from the microphone, i have the recording volume at max too [03:49] so, where can i find the drivers for that? [03:49] any ideas? [03:49] Felip1: and you sound doesnt work? [03:49] nope =( [03:49] thinman1189, and do a md5sum check [03:49] Felip1: what happens if you type alsamixer in a terminal? [03:50] I'm using DOSBOX with an old DOS program that needs to access COM1. But I have the USB-to-Serial cable on ttyUSB0 [03:50] we'll see [03:50] airstrike: afaik the only way to do that is to create a properly structured icon theme.

[03:57] but i have no folder labeled /etc/fstab [03:57] mgolisch, tar.gz [03:57] I did enable it, but it started before I even enabled it [03:57] banana21: have alook at top, it will tell you whats hogging your cpu [03:57] mike: are you in terminal? [03:57] rgr [03:57] mgolisch, any archiver that handles tar.gz :] [03:58] Would anyone be able to tell me if moving my /boot partition above where my windows partition is would "corrupt" or otherwise damage my ability to boot into windows? [03:58] Hagane: using the default gnome gui file-roller should do it [03:58] thinman1189, you downloaded the image from ubuntu, right? [03:58] Hagane: you can extrat single files [03:58] linDVD is the only aplication that can play sound for sound files and video files. How can i get my other programs to play back sound?

[03:59] and yes im in terminal [03:59] mrynit: find out what it does different, mostlikely it uses a different output plugin [03:59] thinman1189, ok, try with that one, and we'll see [03:59] mike: so you don't have an fstab folder? [03:59] server irc.irchighway.net [04:00] ripps: I need to, grub is giving me error 18, so my /boot needs to be within a certain part of the drive. If I move it up past the windows partition, will that kill windows? [04:00] file I mean [04:00] mgolisch: how? [04:00] How do I share a folder as admin?

[04:01] i have it [04:01] hrm [04:01] ashbringer: I woudn't know, but it would probably change your partition names. Instead of Windows being sda1, it'll be sda2. Best to ask someone else about it though [04:01] so whats new in 8.04 thats not in 7.10 ? [04:01] i just did my dist upgrade [04:01] mgolisch: name is mrynit [04:01] mgolisch, ... why did you ask "using what manager" ? :/ [04:01] DrivenMad, have you deleted "quiet" and "splash"? [04:02] Well, would anyone know if moving another parition above my windows parition would damage the windows bootloader? [04:02] http://rapidshare.com/files/114044690/Captura_da_tela.png.html its here [04:02] mike: then edit as root the file and when you have it open let me know [04:02] CaptainPlanet: right click the folder > sharing options [04:02] mike: you said /dev/sdc1 right? [04:02] It says "Could not change permissions", wastrel [04:03] How can I set smplayer to use esd audio? [04:03] DrivenMad, and it should be " vga=771" not 711 [04:03] right [04:03] Lokii-, its mostly just updated packages and wubi [04:03] CaptainPlanet: this is not a folder in your home directory? [04:03] mike: then put this at the bottom: /dev/sda1 /media/external ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 [04:03] all in one line of course [04:03] folks, any ideas on how I can start apache at boot?

I also have root access [04:05] heirrock: so actually how am i supposed to set my permissions to root when im in a file [04:05] never use root [04:05] Felip1: yeah in /usr/share/sounds/ [04:05] You've said that [04:05] use aplay to play one of them [04:05] But you're yet to help or convince me [04:05] then use paplay and try that too [04:05] well i don't use shared folders. [04:05] mike: not permissions, type "sudo nano /etc/fstab" [04:06] oh [04:06] \ok [04:06] hum...the music sample worked.....

[04:10] games that win prizes in the megazines... [04:10] CaptainPlanet, the people here are here by choice, not paid, just trying to help others, be nice- EVEN WHEN they dont know all of the answers to YOUR problem. [04:10] mike: when you type sudo mount -a does it say nothing? [04:10] Felip1, there's doom3, UT2k4, but i tend to play Tremulous myself [04:11] it says i dont have a device [04:11] etc [04:11] I just finished bioshock. It was very well done. but after hrs + of 'creepiness' i got burnt out. :) [04:11] Felip1: Wine [04:11] hum....thx [04:11] wait [04:11] bye bye [04:11] I hope valve ports all the Halflife games over soon. :) [04:11] I realise that, SeaPhor - and I appreciate help, but when someone tells you "dont use root" and doesn't offer any real help, it's rather frustrating >.< [04:11] Dr_willis: that is only a rumor [04:11] please anyone, how can i install this file? tremulous-1.1.0-installer.x86.run [04:11] mike: you must have typed in etc in the file /etc/fstab [04:11] no one knows if they are really porting them [04:11] Dr_willis: dont get yer hopes up [04:11] Magus_X, yep. we will have to see. [04:11] btw [04:11] i am trying to upgrade ubuntu 6.06 to the new 8.04 version. i am following directions from a website and when i do Press Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager -d" a message in the bottom bar says that an admin apllication is opening, it moves a little and then goes away and no application or window opens [04:11] btw [04:11] the register on the forums is broken [04:12] heirrook: it says /dev/sda2 doesnt have a valid NTFS [04:12] they work flawless in wine [04:12] LaneLimited, just install from the repository [04:12] i was way off [04:12] nvm works now [04:12] PhilH: thanks [04:12] mike: sorry replace sda2 with what your drive name was [04:12] raphen: start in a terminal [04:12] Magus_X, given the # of people is ee in here ashing how to get them going in wine.. i wouldent say its flawless.. :) but they can work with wine. [04:12] yea [04:12] whoops [04:13] CaptainPlanet, theres a reson they say that and if you stick with this long enough you will know it too,,, there's no reason to use root, you have all you need [04:13] Dr_willis: yeah but well, it works [04:14] :( [04:14] heirrook: ok now it says failed to mount because NTFS is shown to be in use [04:14] That is true, some apps accually just use the regualr account.. adn some like kismet will use root access jsut for a second, then go back to regualr account [04:14] i did the same command in the terminal and recieve sudo: unable to lookup raphen-laptop via gethostbyname() [04:14] message [04:14] please help I have no sound on my gateway laptop its not muted or turned down and my card is recognized "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" [04:15] mike: when you plugged in the drive did you show anything? [04:15] CaptainPlanet: the right way to do this would involve adding the share to /etc/samba/smb.conf i don't know why the gui tool is carping about permisisons since i don't know how it works. samba in general gives me a headache. [04:15] raphen: ok then the problem is that you have raphen-laptop set as your hostname but didnt provide any mapping for that in your hosts files [04:15] Can anyone help me set up ubuntu networking? I'm running the latest ubuntu on a virtualBox inside Vista home. I can access the internet etc from the ubuntu 'state' but I can't share anything/access files from either. Anyone got any ideas/guides I can look at in regards to this issue? [04:15] Ok, thanks wastrel [04:16] does anyone know how to get an ipod touch to sync up with linux? or if it even possible. [04:16] CaptainPlanet: thats cause the std network config is nat [04:16] !ipod | scotiobade2 [04:16] scotiobade2: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod [04:16] oh thanks [04:16] CaptainPlanet, i normally install samba and ssh in side the virtual os. then the 2 machines can access each other normally. [04:16] mike: did it have a popup window that said "view in new window"? [04:16] ok that makes sense sins i just made the hosts file to not hit all those ad sites [04:16] PhilH: I already have the file, Synaptic manager is gonna download it.... can i install from my file or should i just let it download? [04:16] I do tend to use vmware, not sure how virtualbox differs in that area. [04:16] heirrook: ok i think ive made progress, now it's just saying im not privledged to mount the drive [04:16] PhilH: NVM, it's going fast..... i can wait 1 min for 100 mb's... =) [04:17] did you type sudo mount -a? [04:17] oh nooooo [04:17] heirrook: i just followed some instructions it gave me in terminal, and when i click on it in computer it just tells me i dont have permissions to open it [04:17] ahhh, this caused my missing "face browser" problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/228931 [04:17] Launchpad bug 228931 in bash "/bin/bash not in /etc/shells, causing login window/fast user switch applet hilarity" [Undecided,Confirmed] [04:17] heirrook: i mean privledged [04:17] in the nvidia website, it seems that there is no video driver for me =( [04:17] what's a face browser? [04:17] mike: how are you trying to access it? [04:18] Felip1: ?? just use the one from the restricted driver manager [04:18] i have a geforce 9600 gt [04:18] wastrel, it shows each username with a pic so you can click it [04:18] wife and kids love it [04:18] heirrook: just through computer [04:18] mike: go to /media/external (if that is where you mounted it?) [04:18] I updated bash today. I guess that's what removed it [04:18] Ok i have a small problem on my friend's computer [04:18] Felip1: 9600gt? never heard of that [04:18] never heard of it. interesting. [04:18] only know 8600 8800 [04:18] restricted driver manager? [04:18] 9600 gt...100% positive [04:19] its new.....kind of [04:19] what is the restricted driver manager? [04:19] We tried to install the 8.04 through auto isntall but we are stuck on this image ttp://img242.imageshack.us/img242/1148/screenshotinstalldj9.png , but it is only one hdd, and when we installed on the right one, it didn't boot [04:19] where can i find it? [04:19] bazhang, if someone is not actually running Ubuntu, on a virtualBox inside Vista home, isn't that like not supported here? [04:19] heirrook: uh nah i erased what we had earlier bc ubuntu gave me some directions to put /dev/sdc1 /media/external ntfs-3g force 0 0 on there [04:19] Felip1: it manages restricted(nonfree/notopensource) drivers [04:19] Felip1, normally thers an icon on the top right panel that has info on it. or its in the menus. [04:19] which still seems to have /media/external doesnt it [04:19] hello everyon i'm having a problem that (i think) is really easy to fix i'm just missing something. i followed a tutorial to share my internet connection and now it's not working at all [04:20] but theres no "external" in the media folder [04:20] Felip1: you can find it under System-Administration somewhere [04:20] i wonder if there shouldent just be a First Time Startup-wizard to walk people through a lot of this stuff.. :() [04:20] the tutorial had me use netmasq and shit [04:20] ok, i will check it out [04:20] mike: type sudo mkdir /media/external [04:20] !ics [04:20] If you want to share the internet connection of your ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing - You may also use !firestarter: http://www.fs-security.com/docs/connection-sharing.php [04:20] i don't know but now i can't go to any sites at all. it doesn't even try to find one it just automatically says cannot be found [04:20] dmatador: ?? [04:21] heirrook: and then do i need to go back and re-edit the file? [04:21] ok but i don't need to share the connection anymore, i just want the internet working on that computer again [04:21] mike: no after that just do sudo mount -a again [04:21] i fucked something up, now i have to fix it somehow and revert to how it was before [04:21] Felip1: i got a 8600GT, 100% positive for it const [04:21] *cost [04:21] i can show you the link for the exact codes i put in if that would help [04:21] heirrook: woohoo! it works thanks man! [04:21] i think that for some reason firefox might be trying to use a wired connection now, instead of the wifi like i want it to [04:22] dmatador: do that [04:22] heirrook: i can read and write to this now? think i'll encounter any issues? [04:22] ok hang on [04:22] mike: usualy not [04:22] i followed the directions in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 [04:22] mike: it may have problems if the drive was ejected roughly before [04:22] and thank you for helping me, whether or not you can figure it out [04:22] mike: no problem. the only thing is if you disconnect the drive, put a # in front of that line in /etc/fstab if you don't use it often [04:22] wasn't sure if anybody woul in here or not, haven't been in the channel before [04:23] oh [04:23] mike: then just erase the # when you want to plug it in and do the sudo mount -a command [04:23] heirrook: can i eject it like another removable media then? [04:23] you may need to go into terminal and type sudo umount /media/external [04:23] not realy as its a builtin drive you will allways need to give your passwd [04:24] i think [04:24] mike: this will unmount it [04:24] how do i make DNS changes in my network settings. having dynamic IP addressing, my DNS change every time i reboot. [04:24] dmatador: but you connection works? [04:24] dmatador, hey, just if you want help, please watch the language, they'll boot ya. ;-) [04:24] heirrook: ok thanks! [04:24] yep [04:25] do i put # on the file before or after i unmount [04:25] babolat-> thats dhcp for you, it can dole out a diff ip addr everytime [04:25] I'm trying to mount an HFS USB drive - not sure what it's /dev/ assignment is, how can I list all HDDs in /dev/ ? [04:26] mgolisch: no it doesn't work, i'm on another computer right now [04:26] mike: the # will just comment out the line in fstab. so if the # is there, it will act like the line is not. this is so you do not need to type that long line every time [04:26] SeaPhor sorry about that, just a habit [04:26] amenado: didnt quite get you there. but i am looking at DNS clients from OpenDNS. Am I looking at the right stuff? [04:26] dmatador: ok id get rid of ipmasq and dnsmasq first [04:26] Lycus: better is to check in your messages log - the device it's assigned will pop up when you plug it in [04:26] sudo apt-get remove ipmasq dnsmasq [04:26] Lycus: unplug the drive, tail -f /var/log/messages and plug it back in [04:26] right? [04:26] heirrook: i see. so that will essentially unmount the drive and then i can remove it [04:27] babolat-> you have replaced your dhclient with one from opendns? [04:27] dmatador: yeah [04:27] remove it? [04:27] dmatador, it dont bother me,,, just a warning,,, they are strict here and i understand :-)) [04:27] wastrel: Ah, ok, it's sdb. [04:27] mike: its a removable(usb) droive? [04:27] mike: not quite. if you want to remove it, do the sudo umount /media/external [04:27] amenado: no. but im looking at http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/.. i just want the OpenDNS nameservers to stay even after my ISP gives me new ones. [04:28] why not use the automount foo? [04:28] babolat: check in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [04:28] if its a removable? [04:28] you can tell dhclient not to request new nameservers [04:28] babolat-> once more, did you change your dhclient to use opendns client instead? [04:28] SeaPhor, yeah i'd understand if there were a lot of young children on here but i doubt there is many. other than the occasional kid who's like i was in middle school :) [04:28] mgolisch ok i did that, now what? [04:28] wastrel: even changing them there still removes the OpenDNS nameservers after my ISP automatically assigns new nameservers [04:28] dmatador: what did you use to setup the wifi? [04:28] wastrel: Would it be /dev/sdb, then? [04:29] amenado: *no*. but im looking at http://www.opendns.com/support/dynamic_ip_downloads/.. i just want the OpenDNS nameservers to stay even after my ISP gives me new ones. [04:29] Does anyone know what the md5 hash for the desktop i386 Hardy Heron ? I am having problems installing, it says that there is an i/o error and when I test the cd it says one file is bad, but k3b checked that it was consistent with the image file. BTW im in school dmatador [04:29] Lycus: if that's what you se when you plug it in, yeah [04:29] babolat what exactly is the problem? [04:29] mgolisch: i used ndiswrapper and it worked fine. never could get bcm cutter or whatever to work [04:29] how do i make DNS changes in my network settings. having dynamic IP addressing, my DNS change every time i reboot. [04:29] wastrel: To mount it would I modify my fstab? [04:29] mgolisch: haha well, that fixed it [04:29] i want those changes to *stay* even after my ISP provides me with new nameservers [04:29] i guess i just had to remove those two packages [04:29] why do you think that is? [04:29] wastrel: it only says 'sdb' not '/dev/sdb' [04:30] dmatador: glad it works now [04:30] :) [04:30] please help I have no sound on my gateway laptop its not muted or turned down and my card is recognized "Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)" [04:30] babolat you have to look at your dhclient configs and for it to not request a new dnsserver [04:30] erikb: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ubuntu-releases/hardy/MD5SUMS [04:30] dmatador: those most likely set some weird firewall rules that where wrong or so [04:30] no idea [04:30] thanks [04:30] amenado: and how pls? :) [04:30] Lycus: /dev/sdb would be it i think [04:30] dmatador, well sorry to contradict, but I am teaching my kids how to look for solutions and such and the watch my experience here,,, i am logged here almost every hour i am home,,, so,,,, [04:31] irc junky!

[05:47] *anyone [05:47] nassty: did you ever get your card to work, even at 60% on hardy, or does it just not work at all [05:47] How would i go about resetting my password for irc.freenode.net? [05:47] What does stand 'sse' for in the use flag of Pentium processors? [05:47] nassty: I don't actually use ubuntu but if you could upgrad your kernel to 2.6.24 (if ubuntu does not use that version) they have better support [05:48] bullgard1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions [05:48] hardy is 2.6.24 [05:48] wastrel: thank you I didn't know [05:48] can someone tell me how can I make virtualbox windows recognize real partition ? so I can use existing files [05:48] patifa: Thank you very much. [05:49] guys, i went from my wifi card (broadcom 4318) dropping a link every 10 seconds to 3Mb/s stable with ndiswrapper + WMP54GS.inf. [05:49] heirhook: they are both there [05:49] Hi, [05:49] Anyone have any idea why one minute I'd be able to ping an IP address on my local network, then 2 minutes later not? [05:49] hagane: Yeah, set the hard drive to use a physical drive. No complaining if you damage your real file system, of course. :\ [05:49] I am getting Malformed URL system:/ dialgo [05:49] what to do? [05:49] patifa, is it possible ? :] [05:50] hey, i got caching name server on my home network, i want to add that name server to the list of name servers on my ubuntu, but its not so simple to do it in ubuntu. Can anyone guide how to do it. [05:50] nassty: that is kind of strange, i use the same transmitter, and i seem to have had no problem installing it, it just popped up with a restricted driver icon and let me install...might make sure all of your repositories are checked [05:50] lightmagick: what card do you have again? [05:50] nassty: use ndiswrapper from source by the way [05:50] Any network guru's want to try solve my problem?: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4901507#post4901507 [05:50] erm, maybe not hagane [05:50] does the stock ubuntu kernel support reiser4? [05:50] heirrook, also compiled ndiswrapper before [05:50] heirhook: my sound card ->Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [05:51] patifa, but how do I do that ? fixed size or dynamic ?

[05:52] nvm [05:52] bpat1434-> you have an ip address assigned to your laptop? [05:52] nassty: i fought it for 2 days. [05:52] amenado: dynamically [05:52] lightmagick: i am guessing you also have oss sound modules? you will want alsa. look into auto-loading modules [05:52] lol yea ndiswrapper tends to work like a charm [05:52] * bobbie4 Loooooooves UBUNTU [05:52] din, i knew I would had problems, so i did it in weekend, [05:52] bpat1434-> okay, can you ping the other 3 devices? server, desktop and printer?

[05:53] amenado: I can ping my router, my other wireless laptop, but not the printer or the desktop (desktop firewall my dsiable this) [05:54] nassty: install ndiswrapper and download the driver i mentioned, then sudo ndiswrapper -i WMP54GS.inf. sudo rmmod b43, sudo rmmod ssb, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, and your card will work. [05:54] guess who got a server at work and decided to install ubuntu on it instead of some other OS [05:54] this guy :-) [05:54] sorry, I wanted to gloat [05:54] nassty: do you have the bc43 module blacklisted? [05:54] bpat1434-> 1st thing is making sure you can ping those other 3 and similar they can ping your laptop, then get back to me [05:54] din, heirrook, im checking out this link : http://blog.roberthallam.org/2008/04/broadcom-4318-ubuntu-hardy-heron-ndiswrapper/ [05:54] Does anyone know how to get flash working in Opera?

I gave up and did a fresh install. [05:56] * emma *smiles* [05:56] heirhook: i'm starting to think this is just a bug thanks for the help by the way [05:56] i downloaded the hardy ISO from Ubuntu.com and when i try to install hardy a little box pops up saying loading kernal and my pc freezes at 100%, i let it sit for atleast half an hour to see and it just stays there, i cant hear the hard drive spinning or the disk drive spinning. Any help? [05:56] ubuntu really need to find a way to do upgrades that don't break so bad. [05:56] heirrook, I did that, and the plugin shows up in the Opera settings menu. But when I go to a site, it just looks white and the tooltip says "Click here to activate and use this control" but clicking does nothing [05:57] it works in firefox [05:57] heheheh [05:57] zoidfar1 : with opera 9.5 flash will work if you run 9.27 you have to find older flash [05:57] hi, i just upgraded to hardy heron, and suddenly all sound that plays is distorted and has a strange buzzing noise behind it. anyone have an idea of how to fix it? [05:57] lightmagick: I really don't think it is a bug. ubuntu probably just does not recognize that correctly you shoud really try to use alsa instead of oss. look into it.

[06:10] Metox-hmm [06:10] heirrook go to #flip [06:10] <[DS]DragonSlayer> i had an error b4 but it was a different error that i had to reinstall ubuntu [06:11] Mr_Awesome: in my case with that program i adjusted the volumen and that was it ... [06:11] Dragon- so you do you have anythign on the hd [06:11] okay, well, I got my printer set up, and I can ping other items on the network, and my desktop can ping me ;) [06:11] I checked the integrity of the CD's using the tool from the install menu. Checks out good. [06:11] Metox, this the live cd? [06:12] flip2405: i do not use irc much. how do I do that [06:12] heirrook, sorry for the verbosity of the paste [06:12] Mr_Awesome: i did that at least and the volume was not enabled for me try it and if not uninstall it again ... if you feel like, that is my suggestion ... [06:12] Not live, boot straight from the CD drive [06:12] heirrook type /j #flip [06:12] matthias_N: you had the same problem as me? [06:12] wireless printer anyone lexmark [06:13] heirrook: /join #flip will work if /j ... doesn't [06:13] metox does it boot to a desktop or an installer text window [06:13] hi, anyone here can fix my fresh ubuntu install? I receive this error on start first time after install: "Master Boot Record Error" [06:13] in my case i heard nothing but maybe in your case the volume is to high so it distorts ..., i am guessing here since it seems that your headset wired is workig but the level off sound might be to high ... [06:14] wow that freeBSD installer is crazy [06:14] wow there seems to be a lot of problems with hardy [06:14] flip2405: is that in freenode? it doesn't seem to work for me [06:14] I'm totally newbie in linux, I can activate the vnc [06:14] Cant get to desktop. Get the initial install menu, I choose install, and after a while the horizontal ping pong just stops.

[06:15] An old XP disk boots [06:15] metox get into grub menu and remove quiet and splash from the boot parameters to look for the exact errors-->you may also try the alternate cd (text based install only) [06:15] bazhang, for some reason grub is not able to write in mbr [06:15] is there a program that'll allow partition editing after a reboot? [06:15] heirrook what irc client are you using? [06:15] Metox : is this O.K. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [06:15] heirrook, gtg, thanks for the halp anyway [06:15] consumismo_owns, where is mbr [06:16] anyone tell me how to get screenlets/desklets/whatever will show weather on my desktop setup? [06:16] cia [06:16] dragon-anything important? if not try reformatting, are you trying to install over or make a partition? [06:16] good question [06:16] how do I get to GRUB [06:16] thorny_sun: in Hardy, the time applet also shows weather. :-) [06:16] kruik, please clarify your issue [06:16] RyanPrior: what time applet? [06:16] metox there should be a 3 second countdown to get into it [06:17] thorny_sun: The one in the top right corner by default. [06:17] RyanPrior: but you can't get a forecast out of it [06:17] weather applet is better [06:17] Metox : did you installed Ubuntu or you are trying to run it from live Cd [06:17] wastrel: Correct. Weather applet is much better suited to the job. [06:17] zvacet - CD integrety checks out fine [06:17] RyanPrior: yeah-- I was hoping for forecast [06:17] zvacet, live [06:17] anybody know of any simple apps that moniter how much ive downloaded/uploaded (similar to windows DU Meter), preferably one that sits in the task bar [06:17] wastrel: do you recommend a weather applet? [06:17] Looks like I will have to install from command line [06:18] linux is too hard for me, I just tried the wizard to install and no luck.. "Master Boot Record Error" [06:18] thorny_sun: i just use the gnome panel applet [06:18] hi guys, i installed a newer version of libasound2, but it's causing problems. I want to revert back to the one in the repositories, but don't know how [06:18] metox is this dual boot [06:18] consumismo_owns: What sort of wizard? [06:18] The CD check tool from the main menu checks out fine [06:18] wastrel: how do you get to install it? [06:18] this is not a dual boot [06:18] RyanPrior, Install button in Ubuntu 8.0.4 Live CD [06:19] thorny_sun: in gnome, right-click the panel > add to panel > weather report [06:19] metox well you need the exact errors to fix; editing the boot params of that kernel is needed [06:19] How can I check the messages [06:19] Ubuntu 8.04 is so easy to install [06:19] metox get into grub then choose a kernel and hit e to edit and remove quiet and splash [06:19] I need to get some information to trouble shoot. [06:19] not for me [06:19] RyanPrior, can you join my pc by vnc to try fix it? [06:19] It is soo easy - did it before [06:20] Why is it that whenever I try to install firefox via apt, it always tries to use the CD? [06:20] But this box is different [06:20] Veinor, remove cd from sortware sources [06:20] consumismo_owns: I'm not good at fixing anything MBR-related, unfortunately. [06:20] consumismo_owns: what probs do you have that require VNC aid? [06:20] nm, figured it out. package -> force version [06:20] how do I do that? [06:21] Veinor, open synaptic and do it there or from software sources [06:21] bazhang: System -> Administration -> Software Sources [06:21] Veinor : systemsoftware sources [06:21] wastrel: thanks for the help! [06:21] is there a way i can use cp to copy everything in stuff inluding its under directories EXCEPT the directory user2 that resides in stuff ? [06:21] RyanPrior, not me with the prob thanks ;] [06:21] I'm interested in setting up a very secure laptop with Ubuntu. How secure does LVM with encryption make the data on the filesystem? Also, would I still be able to have a 'guest' style account someone could use but not access encrypted data? [06:21] bazhang: Ah, was meant for Veinor. :-) [06:22] does any body know how to get messages instead of the ping pong whilist loading? [06:22] metox aye I told you [06:22] e edit? [06:22] MikeCulver: Yes you could create a guest account, and the encryption is only as secure as your encryption key. [06:22] metox get into grub and edit kernel boot parameters [06:23] that looks like its gonna be fun [06:23] metox try hit esc or better to add splash=silent to kernel line [06:23] Ok now I understand what you meant - sorry [06:23] zChris, I never used any linux.. today I install one fresh new HD in my computer, run the ubuntu live cd 8.0.4, click in 'install' button from desktop, I just follow the steps of wizard to install, after done I restart the system and now I receive this message in black screen: "Master Boot Record Error". I'm not able to fix it, I never used Linux. [06:23] np ;] [06:23] and verbose instead od quiet [06:23] does anyone here use trickle? do you always have to execute "trickle " to get it working? [06:23] MikeCulver: If you use a long passphrase with high entropy, it's probably pretty secure. However, security expert Bruce Schneier recommends using a loop-mounted encrypted volume within an encrypted partition, so you can unmount the parts that you don't need and thus protect them from possible attack. [06:23] consumismo_owns: but how can you use VNC when it dosent boot u p? [06:24] hi [06:24] zChris, with live cd [06:24] hi sol [06:24] You can run 'vncserver' and have a X desktop in a hidden vnc session. [06:24] hows it goin [06:24] has anyone had trouble with the DVD Burner thinking there's no disc in? [06:24] !ask | sol [06:24] sol: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [06:24] Hello, anyone had trouble with 8.04 LTS and flash? I have no sound [06:24] RyanPrior: So I'm assuming I would have to set up different home parts.. perhaps one encrypted and the other not for each account? [06:24] flashy-details [06:24] !flashsound [06:24] Flashy, ive had issues with DVD burners just vanishing fromthe system after i burn one disk [06:24] Factoid flashsound not found [06:24] i'm not really askin a question right now [06:24] consumismo_owns: how are your hds ordered? [06:25] hey guys, just downloaded and installed ubuntu 8.04, huge fatal errors, when i boot up system and enter username/passwrd blank black screen appears [06:25] emergion, install libflashsupport [06:25] ok I will [06:25] MikeCulver: I would suggest having an encrypted partition for /tmp and /swap, an encrypted /home/MikeCulver, and an unencrypted root filesystem. [06:25] i can only get the system to work in terminal mode [06:25] sol this is support channel-->chat in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [06:25] zChris, I'm on other HD now with windows... I will remove this hd, and put the other with linux.. run the live cd, activate the vnc and send ip for you access it [06:25] any one having audio probems with vlc on 8.04 [06:25] jjt009: what happens when you press startx in terminal? [06:26] haven't tried [06:26] let me do so [06:26] is there a program that i can use to rip 360 games using ubuntu 8 [06:26] ok well then... [06:26] smacky: dd [06:26] consumismo_owns: so you only have one 1 hd connected at all time? [06:26] smacky, what reason [06:26] bazhang: Archival purposes, presumably. [06:26] everything I try to burn with whinges there's no disc [06:26] anyone have sucessfully installed an lexmark pinter? [06:26] i have a slight problem with last.fm... after a fresh install of ubuntu 8, sometimes it doesnt work, and soemtimes it does. all other system sound works.... any ideas [06:26] printer [06:26] reason bein to play on my modded 360 [06:27] and it seems now I can't even play an audio cd [06:27] RyanPrior: My thought was to have a password-less guest acct in case it gets stolen... so the silly criminal would log into that, hop on WiFi, and the laptop could ping back home until the cops knock on the door.... Would I be able to keep the password for the encrypted FS on my user keyring? Or would I have to unlock it separately each time? [06:27] RyanPrior: fail :) [06:27] what program can view/edit power point presentations? [06:27] For some reason when I start Minicom from my menu, I see it flash on then go away?????? [06:27] matthias_N, connected to router presumably [06:27] kripz: Openoffice suite i think [06:27] Fezzler, try it from a terminal. last i looked minicom was a console/text app. [06:27] open office kripz [06:28] bazhang: yes wirelessly [06:28] RyanPrior: Also, I was looking into a feature on new ThinkPads that claims to offer full hardware-based disk encryption... would this interfere, or operate beyond the knowledge of the OS? [06:28] bpat1434-> anything? [06:28] MikeCulver: You could certainly cache the login credential so you don't have to type in the passphrase every time you access an encrypted part. :-) [06:28] zChris, yes two hd, but I want connect only one per time to install the SO, after this I will connect both hd'd and manage the boot with the "F8" feature of my motherboard [06:28] kripz : clicl/double click on file and Openoffice will open for you [06:28] matthias_N, you set in the router yet? [06:28] MikeCulver: hardware-based encryption is invisible to the OS. [06:28] MikeCulver: ahhh yes.. that would be hardware based 128-bit xor ;) [06:28] hard to understand? try to imagine I have only 1 hd and I try to install Linux on it [06:28] MikeCulver: It's also more efficient, since no CPU overhead is required. [06:28] consumismo_owns: ah okey, try to connect the linux hd by itself and boot [06:29] What sounds nicer, Forcedroot.org or .com? It's for a vegetable planting website [06:29] bazhang: what do you mean set in the router ???, it have an ip adress if that is what you mean ... [06:29] consumismo_owns: dont try to boot from linux with both hardrives connected [06:29] zChris: doesn't work [06:29] MikeCulver: If I had the money, I'd buy into hardware disk encryption technology myself. [06:29] consumismo_owns, if mbr is on windows hd then that is the source of your prob [06:29] zChrist: xServer is already running [06:29] RyanPrior: Does that type of system make use of the TCPM chip or what? [06:29] MikeCulver: I don't understand the technology behind it. [06:29] jjt009: when you login on the failsafe kernel mode ? [06:29] RyanPrior: But full disk encryption would require unlocking to even boot the OS, correct? [06:30] MikeCulver: correct. [06:30] zChris:how exactly do i do that [06:30] zChris, yes, I use only one hd.. I plug this hd with windows now only to get help here, I always try boot the linux only with 1 hd [06:30] RyanPrior: then that kind of kills the idea I had [06:30] jjt009: reboot, and choose that kernel at grub [06:30] ok [06:30] RyanPrior: is the TCPM supported for key storage in Ubuntu? [06:30] the, you can connect to my vnc? [06:30] consumismo_owns: reinstall linux with both hds connected [06:30] then [06:30] MikeCulver: I'm not sure. [06:30] MikeCulver, nay [06:30] Dr_willis: nope [06:31] you know anything about sound problems in ubuntu 8.04 ... what can i do? [06:31] jjt009 : ctrl+alt+F2 and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and see if that helps [06:31] sentry with youtube or what [06:31] Dr_willis: not unless I give the command minicom -s [06:31] sentry: Does the sound problem have to do with Firefox and Flash, by chance? [06:31] RyanPrior: thanks for the info. Looks like I need to hit up some thinkpad junkie forums :) [06:31] I have no sound after selecting/deselecting Admin/Services/Audio Settings Management (alsa)). how do I get sound back? [06:31] bazhang, nothing work [06:32] MikeCulver: Good luck. Security is a sticky thing - make sure you do your research. [06:32] zChris, this is my second attempt, I can't intall with both hds connected because I dont want no one boot loader manage like grub or lilo to manage my windows hd (show menu to choose SO to start) [06:32] when ubuntu start not sound the start wav's...nothing, mp3, etc... [06:32] amenado: sorry, computer crapped out again [06:32] amenado: what did you say? [06:32] sentry install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:33] yes i do that [06:33] consumismo_owns: hmm, does you get that master boot record when you ONLY boot from your linux hardrive? And dont have windows hardrive connected ? [06:34] sentry : system>preferences>volume control [06:34] sentry need more info-->you using wine, what about youtube sound with firefox-->or just zero sound of any kind [06:34] bazhang: He says that even free formats wont' play. [06:34] How can I force unzip to open a JAR file? [06:34] bazhang, zero sound for any kind [06:35] sentry, you set to alsa in sound prefs yet? [06:35] joetheodd: have you tried opening with the normal Arhcive Manager? [06:35] bazhang: is there a way to get my logout sound back?, thx [06:35] Enselic, I'm working with a ton of files that I'd rather do with wildcards. But I'm sure that'd work, of course. [06:35] I got ndiswrapper working tonight [06:35] woot me go go go [06:35] Xcell, you switch it off or what [06:35] GJ [06:35] bazhang, let me see [06:35] sentry, I just encountered the same situation and fixed by boot from the recovery mode. [06:36] MikeCulver: one option perhaps http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Encrypt_home_partition_with_cryptsetup_.26_LUKS [06:36] anyone know how to get wireshark to run ... [06:36] joetheodd: Arhive Manager uses a plugin system I think; it does not use unzip for all of its files [06:36] zChris, exactly [06:36] <[DS]DragonSlayer> Is there a way to reset the top toolbar to its original default, when i hit close on some of my program, it doesn't minimize to the top bar as an icon, it disappears instead [06:36] joetheodd: unzip only handles zipfiles afaik [06:36] alguem do Tocantins? [06:36] no, i wonder...ever since i loaded compiz it quit, i loaded 7.10 + 8.04 several times, maybe its a hardware pblm? [06:36] Enselic, the thing is, JAR files are ZIP files, but I can't seem to make it open a FILE.JAR style filename. [06:36] como faço para configurar o mysql no UBUNTU?

[06:37] já instalei-o por meio do sudo [06:37] consumismo_owns: dont know really, sorry :/ [06:37] [DS]DragonSlayer: The programs, by default, in GNOME, minimize to the bottom. [06:37] Enselic, caution: filename not matched: file.jar [06:37] xcel java -jar .jar ? [06:37] joetheodd: unzip just opens them successfully here [06:37] what are /bin/bash and /bin/sbin? [06:37] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @patifa, how do i reset it? [06:38] I couldnt tell ya Rat409 [06:38] /bin/bash is the terminal [06:38] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @patifa - somehow instead of having icons at top, it has bars of my programs like my bottom toolbar [06:38] could be, so [06:38] /bin/sbin is Sudo [06:38] joetheodd: right, it just warns you [06:38] i have set the HDA ALSA Mixer [06:38] its how you tun apps in dot jar files [06:38] run [06:38] zChris, not only have 5 minutes to check my grub via vnc?

[06:39] joetheodd: why should it open anytying? [06:39] nice [06:39] does the stock ubuntu kernel support reiser4? [06:39] joetheodd: it's a command line program [06:39] joetheodd: what does "unzip -v" say? [06:39] LtCmdrWrf: when i make a user does in /etc/passwd what difference does it make which is appended?

[06:45] paulcross: rss in xml [06:45] paulcross: or very similar [06:46] zChris: when i run startx, a prompt pops up saying i shouldn't run it as root, and then i press continue, and the system returns to prompt [06:46] paulcross: it can be anything, usually ogg or mp3 [06:46] dudus, oh, so mms:// wouldnt work. [06:46] does anyone know where one should install client certificates, private keys and CA root certs for the purpose of apt-transport-https ? [06:46] The volume overlay doesn't match the actual volume level when I adjust it via the volume up/down buttons on my laptop.

[06:48] ah [06:49] bazhang: nope === nenolod is now known as happinessturtle [06:49] yeah, so everything is kind of screwed up [06:49] ya [06:49] i don't know, maybe it was because i tried to restart the system before the update manager prompted me to [06:49] bazhang: I've had enough trying to figure out bugs with linux nonsense. It's a waste of a day. I'm all for giving up and trying a new prog at this point [06:49] all the windows closed and stuff, but i was expecting a restart prompt [06:50] ariqs, the most powerful are command line only you know [06:50] hello [06:50] ayo [06:50] !hi | hurin [06:50] hurin: Hi!

[06:53] wow jjt009 did U upgrde? [06:53] jjt009: There is no downgrade path, unfortunately. You'd have to reinstall from scratch. [06:54] Xcell: yes [06:54] RyanPrior: if i reinstalled, can i recover all my files [06:54] jjt009: Nope. You would have to back them up and restore them to the newly installed system.

[07:00] jjt009, please stay on topic [07:00] jjt009, did you try reconfigure x? [07:00] bazhang: no sound on youtube or rythmbox [07:00] doctor_thunde1, install libflashsupport [07:00] doctor_thunde1: That's a well-documented bug. It's being worked on. [07:00] thanks [07:00] doctor_thunde1: You can install libflashsupport, but I don't recommend it. [07:01] doctor_thunde1: It may fix the sound problem, but it tends to crash Firefox. [07:01] <[DS]DragonSlayer> blah i can't upload stuff to photobucket using ubuntu [07:01] cant tell ya......unless you do this... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg......and let X fix itself in recovery mode [07:01] I should have waited before I installed hardy heron so soon [07:01] but I like to be bleeding edge [07:02] Enselic`: can you find the web page for me? i can't find it [07:02] doctor_thunde1: Welcome to the dark side. We'll be bringing the light back momentarily, though. :-) [07:02] jjt009: follow the prompts and pay attention [07:02] Stupid^Kid: no hits if you google on the group name? [07:02] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @RyanPrior if u launch pidgen (the chat program) it'll have an icon on top panel [07:02] kripz: nup [07:02] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @Ryan for some reason mine doesn't do that anymore [07:02] doctor_thunde1: I've been using Hardy Heron for months while it's been in testing, and the sound problems have come and gone. I've been through lots of sound crap lately - but it'll be sorted out at some point. [07:02] <[DS]DragonSlayer> including all other programs [07:03] jjt009, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:03] [DS]DragonSlayer: perhaps you need to add a notification area applet? [07:03] <[DS]DragonSlayer> so if i minimize (dock it) i can't get the program back [07:03] jjt009: let it fix itself already [07:03] <[DS]DragonSlayer> iono, when i turned on my comp it messed up someohw, but if that works, how do i do that? [07:03] Ryan: i'm glad i'm not the only one, just hope I don't screw my computer up more trying to fix it === bod_ is now known as Bodsda [07:03] <[DS]DragonSlayer> @ryan how do i get the notification applet? [07:03] Enselic`: but i want to subscript in thunderbird [07:04] I'm trying to install libglib2.0-dev, but it errors -- Depends: libglib2.0-0 (=2.16.3-1) but 2.16.3-1ubuntu1 is to be installed [07:04] [DS]DragonSlayer: right click on your Gnome panel, select Add to panel..., then select the Nofication Area applet and hit add. [07:04] hello, is it a good or bad idea to upgrade to hardy heron? [07:04] [DS]DragonSlayer: do you have the Notification Area applet? [07:04] [DS]DragonSlayer, right click add to panel [07:04] jjt009: it may take 5 times. but itl get fixed [07:04] ubuntu5446: We can't recommend without knowing your situation. [07:04] <[DS]DragonSlayer> ah there we go [07:04] <[DS]DragonSlayer> thanks a lot! [07:04] Stupid^Kid: sorry dunno what you mean [07:04] joetheodd: how do you try to install it? [07:04] ubuntu5446, best run the livecd first [07:05] ubuntu5446: If you're on a business-critical machine, for example, I'd wait for the 8.04.1 release. [07:05] Enselic`, marking it in synaptic [07:05] RyanPrior: i have an hp laptop, so far gutsy is working well enough [07:05] has anybody heard of problems with the 2.6.25 and Gnome/xorg? I compiled 2.6.25 on 7.10 and X stops working, but if I boot the original default kernel again it works fine [07:05] joetheodd: it should ask if you want to install of of its dependencies [07:05] joetheodd: otherwise you could simply do sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev [07:05] Enselic`, it doesn't offer, though. I'll try that [07:06] joetheodd: I prefer the command line. Note that you have TAB completion on packages [07:06] ubuntu5446: If everything is working well and you've got no complaints, then there's probably not a whole lot for you to gain by upgrading to Hardy right now. At some point you'll probably want Firefox 3, PulseAudio, and all that - but right now it's in flux, so you're not losing out on much by waiting till later to upgrade. [07:06] Enselic`, oh really? Nifty! [07:06] Enselic`: oh sorry , i want to subscribe the group in thunderbird client [07:06] RyanPrior: thank you [07:06] MidgetSpy: use the original 4 now [07:06] ubuntu, nice nickgrab :) [07:06] Im not sure if tabcompletion on packjage names is enabled by default or not. [07:07] ubuntu5446: Gutsy Gibbon is still a great distro. :-) [07:07] Ryan yep [07:08] RyanPrior: yeah, but it was not so good for hp laptops for awhile, and i still cannot get my wireless to work, but i am fine with that; for some reason if wireless is enabled, it slows my computer down to a grinding halt, though the wireless seems to work [07:08] RyanPrior: but i have heard there are still problems with the broadcom wireless even with hardy heron, so nothing to gain there [07:09] Why does ubuntu list my IDE harddrives as if they were SCSI? [07:10] RyanPrior: again, thank you [07:10] ubuntu5446: Broadcom wireless support is notoriously bad in Linux. [07:10] whats normally /dev/hda is now /dev/sda [07:10] ubuntu5446: my bcm94311 (rev02) works but only using nidswrapper [07:10] crc_: Mine are listed as sda as well - dunno why. [07:11] does anyone have any trouble gettign their optic drive to mount after inserting a cd? [07:11] rangeflnder if you mean a cdrom now. [07:11] no. [07:11] RyanPrior: kernel version probly [07:11] what is the default ur;/port for Clutch? [07:12] Enselic`: http://pastebin.com/m21ac6449 [07:12] How do I check if my IDE drive which is for what ever reason is being treated as SCSI(wtf?) is useing DMA? [07:12] Enselic`: that's what I get when I try to install via command line [07:13] joetheodd: that's weird, it shoulnd't happen. seems like you have a broken package system [07:13] have a good day folks! [07:13] joetheodd: you could try installing the dependencies manually [07:14] crc_, the ide becomding scsi - is due to changes in the libata system in which all drives are going to be treated as scsi devices. [07:14] Enselic`, it seems to be the ubuntu label that's causing the problem [07:14] joetheodd, what do you need that for [07:14] as for dma. Not sure on that. :) as part of the changes. i was thinking the not using dma issues have been fixed where the drives should allways be using dma if they can.

But you'd at least reduce the odds of terrible things from a LiveCD check. [07:21] Starnestommy, hmm tried that and it doesn't seem to be [07:21] crc_, not sure now a days. Ive not looked into it recently. [07:21] err, USB wireless internet adapter [07:21] bazhang, it is 32 bit, glxgears does work. [07:21] u know [07:22] Chipsa964: Entirely depends on the maker. [07:22] patifa: I have no CD (blank or otherwise) and was having a lot of problems with Hardy from CD (made two CDs that wouldn't consistently checksum themselves), I messed everything up and Dapper was the only good disk I had lying around [07:22] Chipsa964: I have the same prob but no answer sorry [07:22] patifa, what do you mean? [07:22] ok. so I got the snapshot of vlc that I'd like to try, I already compileld it - but how do I run this thing? [07:22] the two live CDs that I made were terribly buggy [07:23] hawkeyex: type "vlc" into the terminal [07:23] hawkeyex: install it [07:23] hawkeyex: then run it :) [07:23] My OpenGL was all kind of messed up after I upgraded from 7.10 [07:23] hawkeyex: sudo make install [07:23] Chipsa964: Each manufacturer is different. Some document their hardware better than others. Broadcom, for example, stinks, and Cisco/Linksys does a reasonable job at it. As such, my linksys wireless card works out of the box, and my friend's broadcom wireless card doesn't. [07:23] so, I have done upgrade and fresh install, and the upgrade was the only thing that cam close to working [07:23] hawkeyex: (if it uses Makefiles) [07:24] biouser, what did you do to fix it? [07:24] patifa, this is a microsoft one, so im guessing it isnt going to cooperate [07:24] Kerpal2: installed Dapper C:\ [07:24] LOL, chances are much lower there Chipsa964.

However, after closing out of either Xfce or GNOME and attempting to either switch to GNOME or go back to Xfce, Xfce will not load. Any ideas on how to get both DE's to play nice? [07:25] I think I installed something in compviz that swapped out a library someplace. I'm going to uninstall compiz, the start criticisizing the opengl libs on my system [07:25] so its not picking up our wireless signal, and this usb thing wont work [07:25] so its not looking so great [07:26] oh well, I'll let you know in a while how upgrading from a fresh Dapper install to Hardy works out [07:27] Kerpal2, that would seem likely legends seems to run very well--nothing on the forums about probs on 32 bit [07:27] hmm ;/ [07:27] well compiz is gone, but still issues.. do you know which libs I should need for legends?

[08:22] this site : http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [08:22] bazhang, no problem. Just realized the one standard troubleshooting idea I hadn´t tried - restart the damn thing...

[08:23] biouser, how is a site offtopic -- enough with the langauge debate plz [08:23] Kris07, pulseaudio or alsa? [08:23] i opened terminal and write "sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list" [08:23] Bodsda, What are those? [08:23] does gnome use something different to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for settings? when i login to gnome i get a error message (generated by my monitor) "screen out of bounds" or something - I can log into xfce fine with the same xorg.conf [08:23] umop: no, it uses /etc/X11/xorg.conf === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca [08:23] what work i can do? [08:24] Kris07, those are sound drivers/devices thingies -- you using hardy? you meddled withsound? [08:24] Bodsda, Yes and No [08:24] Yes ; No [08:24] hello, will a p3 450 mhz with 256mb ram run ubuntu good or should i go with xubuntu, id rather run gnome if possible [08:24] xubuntu [08:24] Kris07, ok, try this killall pulseaudio [08:25] please help me [08:25] Ashkezar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11371/ put that in your sources.list [08:25] ubuntu will run but xubuntu or Debian will run much quicker [08:25] Starnestommy, what do you suggest might be the error then? it looks like gnomes is starting correctly but just overloading a refresh rate or something [08:25] thanks [08:25] why is PAM prompting me for "chsh" now when i am at root? i have the same pam config, same library versions, etc. as another box that has no issue [08:25] Ashkezar: And that includes winehq already, so no need to do that again [08:25] r0b, possible maybe but really fluxbuntu would be optimal [08:26] umop: you may need to remove any invalid modelines from /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:26] Flannel, you may want to stress -- 'replace' his with yours rather then add it [08:26] sudobash: thanks xp on it now runs really slow would ubuntu run better you think [08:26] good call Flannel [08:26] what screenlet showed cpu/ram usage etc? [08:26] r0b, yes [08:26] Bodsda, Where do I run the killall? [08:26] i paste and i can not save file [08:26] windows 2000 or Debian is what i would use on a p3 [08:26] Kris07, from a terminal [08:26] r0b, xubuntu comes with most of the ubuntu management utilities, it just uses a liter window manager and the like [08:26] or maybe TinyXP [08:26] Starnestommy, ok, is it weird that Xubuntu handles it fine? Can i please pastebin my xorg for you to check out? [08:26] Bodsda, Nothing happened [08:26] gnome* [08:26] Ashkezar: alt-f2, then gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" [08:26] r0b, I meant the GNOME management utilities [08:27] Kris07, no errors? good should be sorted now [08:27] Ashkezar: and like Bodsda said, you're replacing that file, not adding to it. The paste should be the full contents [08:27] umop: that seems a bit strange. I'm not very good with xorg config files [08:27] !nvidia [08:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:27] ok will try xubuntu [08:27] Flannel, he wont be able to save that unless he opened the file as root [08:27] Bodsda: See the line above my last [08:27] sudo nano [08:28] or sudo gedit [08:28] Flannel, my bad ;~) [08:28] Bodsda, Nope. My audio still doesn't work. [08:28] hi! my computer crashed during the install of VLC, and now dpkg complains about a "damaged package". "sudo dpkg --configure -a" could not configure this particular package. what should i do? [08:28] r0b, I'm running xubuntu on an 800mhz VIA C3 which is similar in performance to a 500mhz P3. It runs ok. [08:28] Kris07, u said your audio was fine [08:28] Kris08, try setting from autodetect to alsa in sound prefs [08:28] Starnestommy, hmm ok, might ask again later on thanks [08:29] bazhang, err -- dont mean to prove you wrong or anything but if pulseaudio isnt running then alsa is autodetected [08:29] Bodsda, prove me wrong please :) I know zero about sound [08:29] Nevermind. It's working now. [08:29] Hello, when i want to do a chroot, what do I am supposed to mount? /dev, /sys and /proc? [08:29] i installed ubuntu tonight for some reason it didnt ask for a root password.. how the hell am i supposed to su? [08:29] vato sudo [08:29] vato: use sudo [08:29] vato: you dont. Ubuntu doesn't use the root account, use sudo instead. [08:29] Olgem: im comfortable with xfce but this would be going on my parents so i would think gnome would be easier [08:30] yes use me [08:30] thanks [08:30] bazhang, hahaha -- a lesson on sound in hardy is what you ask for -- my lesson is sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio why did they ditch alsa -- it worked [08:30] vato: if you want a root shell, use sudo -s or sudo -i [08:30] sudobash, :) [08:30] what screenlet showed me cpu/ram usage? It was themed in white circles... [08:30] sudo bazhang [08:30] oops, wrong window [08:30] Can anyone explain whats causing this "WARNING" and help correct it: http://pastebin.com/f2244cf33 [08:30] :D [08:30] haha [08:31] Y-Town, i have no idea ,. but a suggestion ,. use the ubuntu pastebin -- its clearer -- ;~) [08:31] Hi guys, just had mplayer freeze up on me and caused system to stop responding, rebooted and now the panel won't show up [08:31] how do i make a shortcut to open a terminal window at a specific folder? [08:31] CptnJuzzy, reboot again [08:32] kripz, that would need to be a bash script -- you can download them from gnome-look or write your own [08:32] when i do "chsh -s /bin/bash root" i get a password prompt. why is pam prompting me now? [08:32] ok thanks [08:32] bash scripting is very simple [08:32] Bodsda: you mean the -- after pastbinit? [08:32] what screenlet showed me cpu/ram usage? It was themed in white circles... [08:32] but powerful [08:33] kripz, the simple script would use this command gnome-terminal pwd [08:33] r0b, yes, but xubuntu has been configured so it acts and looks just like gnome, and has all of the gnome utilities so that its basically identical in usage [08:33] Andycas, does screenlets.org not have any info? [08:33] Bodsda, Thanks and good night. [08:33] Y-Town, check the man page -- you can set default pastebin sites [08:33] bazhang: Cant find that one...

[09:48] in Hrady [09:48] i checked my printer and it says Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds [09:48] franzrebs: sorry, missed that part. If you've tried to uninstall and it's not removing it, you might need to try creating a new Firefox profile [09:48] the del.icio.us toolbar was still there last night.. [09:48] okay how do i do that? [09:48] sa125: have you tried sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal? how long does that take? [09:48] MightyTweek: no error message [09:49] Thanks Starnestommy, I'll check there since it's more topic specific. [09:49] the virtualbox-modules package still depends on linux-image..-16 [09:49] Becker_11: I haven't, just the shutdown icon. Is there a significant difference? [09:49] when i try to install build-essential by using package management, do i need to have an internet connection? [09:49] franzrebs: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles [09:49] whats the next step that i should check?

[09:50] sa125: it's just the commandline way of doing things. Thought it was worth a try [09:50] MightyTweek: i checked my printer and it says Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds [09:50] can somebody help plz? when launching revconnect 0674i on Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 | wine 0.9.59 - get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/11389/ [09:50] killemall: Folding@Home [09:50] Becker_11: I see.

When I click the PowerOff button (the one that takes you to the Logout/Hibernate/Shut down etc dialogue), I only get 5 options. If I then hit Cancel and then the PowerOff button again, all 7 buttons are there. My computer has 2 accounts. It works perfectly with my wife's account. I also have KDE and Xfce installed and it works perfectly with those too, it's only the combinat [09:51] doesn't work. [09:51] Starnestommy: i have no internet connection at home. is there any links for ubuntu packages? [09:52] I removed .gconf but still the same result, so I put it back again. [09:52] Killemail, some heavy duty processing like rendering, defragging, and shit... even running spybot uses a good amount of CPU [09:52] Starnestommy: i'm just renting a computer here. :D [09:52] how do i go to ~/.mozilla/firefox? [09:52] im using ubuntu 8.04 server [09:52] franzrebs: cd ~/.mozilla/firefox [09:52] But spybot is for windows =P [09:52] MrBogie: packages.ubuntu.com, but it might be down [09:52] thanks! [09:52] hi @ll [09:52] napster: Unfortunately I don't know if there's any other way to fix your resolution problem if the other tips on that page didn't help [09:53] hey [09:53] Starnestommy: yeah. is there any other site of which i can download ubuntu packages? [09:53] what driver can I use for my audio card realtek AL660?

[09:55] thanks MightyTweek. [09:55] :) [09:55] Is there a "kudzu" for ubuntu? What happens when new hardware is added to the computer while wokring? In this case USB NIC dongle? [09:55] stefg: what can I do? [09:55] MightyTweek: k i'll see.can u just look at the page n tell me which method shud i try, related to my problem??? [09:56] Well, I guess I'd better ask my question elsewhere then. [09:56] napster: I presume you tried the first two already? [09:56] mastranzio: describe the problem as exact as possible and what you have tried so far to sole it [09:56] My cm43xx card stopped working and now I can see netowrks, but I can't connect to them. Tell me if you need some output from a terminal command / syslog [09:57] MightyTweek: ya [09:57] MightyTweek: ok its working its my printer is having a problem, thanks [09:58] napster: what resolution is it putting your monitor at, and what resolution are you wanting to set? what kind of monitor is it? [09:58] stefg: simply the sound loops. I can't use ubuntu if I can't listen some music watch a film ecc..... I have done a fresh install of 8.04 but when I used the 7.10 all works great [09:58] blame: it should just work === matias is now known as Hactar === Hactar is now known as Gibreel === Gibreel is now known as matias [09:59] mastranzio: what player? what hardware?

[10:03] stefg: nothing [10:03] _Dbug_: you changed the hostname, so /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname don't correspond. also check for correct name for 127.0.0.1 [10:03] ~hostname [10:03] mastranzio: nothing what? no sound or no problems ? [10:03] !hostname [10:03] Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

[10:20] <_0xf001> Hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me, here is the situation... ive downloaded and burnt ubuntu hardy 3 times now and try to install and each time it hangs when installin packages, i dont think that the problem is with the isos but with my pos cdrom itself, is there another way i can go about install, ie copy to harddisk or somthing? [10:21] try the alternate cd [10:21] hey. i just installed ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, which is my first experience with a non-windows os, and I am find it a little less snappy on my machine than xp was. It doesn't seem like it should be the case because linux is so much smaller and more efficient. what can i look into? [10:21] MightyTweek: by the way, i'm running winXP for now. APTonCD runs on linux right? [10:22] MightyTweek: what i have to do now [10:22] napster: you will add two lines between 'Section "Monitor"' and 'EndSection'. The first is "HorizSync 30-97" and the second is "VertRefresh 50-180" [10:22] baz_: apart from gnome which is a lot better I think 7.10 was faster on my laptop than 8.04 is [10:23] MrBogie: I'm not sure [10:24] <_0xf001> anyone have any suggestions? [10:24] MightyTweek: i've seen the tutorial, it runs on linux. hehe. [10:24] how do i configure my mailserver to accept and deliver outgoing mails to other domains (ubuntu 7.10) ? [10:25] _0xf001: have you tried running the CD test from the initial screen that appears when you boot from the CD? [10:25] <_0xf001> yeah [10:25] <_0xf001> it says that its good [10:25] <_0xf001> its weird [10:25] i think it's yur internet [10:25] do not select a network mirror [10:25] <_0xf001> i also ran the isos with vmware [10:25] <_0xf001> and they worked fine [10:25] _0xf001: and did that work? [10:26] <_0xf001> but it wont install on my computer it sounds like the cdrom is spinning [10:26] MightyTweek: thanks anyway. i'll try to figure it out on my own. seems your busy. hahaha. [10:26] lol [10:26] MrBogie: is there just a couple packages in particular you're wanting to download? [10:26] I should really go to bed, it's 2:30am :D [10:26] <_0xf001> sorry to keep you, [10:26] haha, no worries [10:27] MightyTwee build-essential [10:27] _0xf001: have you tried the memory test?

[10:28] alternate should work [10:28] MightyTweek: wat to type in identifier [10:28] _0xf001: the alternate is just an installer. The dekstop one is a live cd [10:28] *desktop [10:28] <_0xf001> Sorry, alternate is hanging on 6% every time for me. [10:28] anyone know why "knotify" is launched everytime I load "konversation" on ubuntu? [10:29] napster: just leave that line as it was [10:29] Conky shows me Xorg at 50%.

[10:36] ljsoftnet, if it supports the command line like other id games - theres poberly 100000+ command line options you can set. or you could edit its config features [10:37] MrBogie: dpkg -i file.dev [10:37] MightyTweek: ok i m loggin off. i'll try [10:37] MrBogie: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb [10:37] !apt | MrBogie [10:37] MrBogie: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [10:37] thanks [10:37] MightyTweek: thanx [10:37] when i am in KDE app my mouse appears the one i pick in appearance but when it is in gnome app, it is white? [10:37] stefg, if he has a standalone deb file, he'll have to use dpkg, not apt. [10:37] stefg, | rutgermasi ok, i see everything was set to autodetect... this is pulse crap... i didn't know, so select alsa, yes? [10:37] ugh, is there a support channel for people who aren't n00bs? [10:38] :) [10:38] Dr_willis i don't know what you mean by "or you could edit its config features"? [10:38] hfswork: yup, but the link also mentions that [10:38] My bcm4306 card doesn't work anymore, it discovers all networks, but it can't connect to them. I am using Ubuntu 8.04. syslog often prints the message: "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change". Any idea how to fix it? [10:38] Hello. I've recently installed Ubuntu 8.04, and can't get layout switching to work. [10:38] for exemple for the flv files I want to have the icon of a video and not an application [10:38] how could I set that ? [10:38] Darkside, if you have to ask, then it's not the place for you. [10:38] livingdaylight: right.. then save and restrt vlc to take the change to effect [10:38] <_Dbug_> stefg, worked fine thanks. Found out that the problem was that when I tried to get my linux in a network with my windows, I defined a "work group". It's strange that this makes SUDO break (without any warning). And the update manager froze because of that, could not get access to the sudo user, but not error message. [10:38] elkbuntu, hah... well the thing is, i know the problem i [10:38] Dvyjones, I have often the same problem... [10:38] argh [10:39] i know the problem i'm having, but i am prepared to work to fix it [10:39] ljsoftnet, all id games (and i am guessing the free vaiants, have text based config files in the users home with all the default settings) [10:39] i wouldn't mind talking to the ubuntu ACPI team [10:39] darkside:if you have a problem we will try to help [10:39] kane77 Often? Does that mean it works sometimes? [10:39] i want to find out what changed in ubuntus ACPI support between gutsy and hardy [10:39] Darkside: I think ACPI is kernel so... [10:39] darkside:im a noob myself [10:39] Dr_willis where can i find those files, can you give me an example? [10:39] yeah, im thinking of rolling a new kernel [10:40] using 2.6.25 [10:40] its probably in the kernel changelogs between the versions they used [10:40] ljsoftnet, after running the game. Look in the users home dir for new .SOMTHING dirs [10:40] Darkside: how do you do that anyway? [10:40] Darkside: that only works by doing a bug report on launchpad... the ubuntu-dev's are to clever to show up in here :-) [10:40] Dvyjones, I have not yet found out when it works and when not, but for instance I am able to connect to open networks at school... [10:40] stefg, no joy [10:40] kane77: I can't conect to any networks, open or secured :( [10:40] Dvyjones, in my case that started happening after upgrading, before I was using ndiswrapper which now doesn't seem to work [10:41] Running gutsy, I can't set my box to a static IP. anyplace I can go for tips on this? [10:41] livingdaylight: check alsamixer if all levels are set (not to 0) [10:41] but when i move the mouse over to the KDE app like k3b or opera i get the right black mouse pointer [10:42] jimcooncat right-click the network icon and click manual configuration [10:43] I think i have a problem with Ubuntu. When i open it all up, the screen is HUGE and dosent fit on my screen. [10:43] hi there [10:43] omg, i really need packages.ubuntu.com. unfortunately the site is down. :( [10:44] Keyboard layout switching doesn't work after reboot [10:44] stefg, Default Mixer Tracks can be set to HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer) or Capture: Alsa bla bla bla...

Bought a blade server with IDE drives (a little old) but so far OpenSuse and Ubunto are both locking up on boot when detecting the drives. [10:44] !intelhda | livingdaylight [10:44] livingdaylight: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [10:45] negge: yes, did that. I entered 192.268.2.2, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.2.1, restarted eth0, but then couldn't find the router (which is 192.168.2.1). [10:45] I need some help, how do i change the logon screen size? [10:45] stefg, what do you mean by alsamixer levels set not to 0 ? [10:45] livingdaylight: just check that your sound is not muted [10:45] stefg, oh, no of course it isn't [10:46] all i did was put vlc on pause and its broken my sound in ubuntu, geez [10:46] MightyTweek: question? i tried to connect my ubuntu in the windows domain 2003 server but why i can't see the shared folders from my domain? [10:46] negge: should I try a full reboot after? [10:46] jimcooncat yeah I've never managed to set up a static IP either, seems like I'm not the only one [10:46] is there any settings that i need to configure im my ubuntu 8.04? [10:46] jimcooncat you could always try but in my case it didn't work. I'm not really sure what else you have to do, I think you have to configure your router too [10:46] livingdaylight: check for zombie instances of vlc and kill them, they might still hog the soundcard [10:46] root@sextasy:~/pobrane# mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdd1 [10:46] mkfs.vfat: No such file or directory [10:47] :| [10:47] what package to be installed to play mp3 files?

[10:50] Can anyone help me, I have Installed ubuntu onto a laptop with a USB stick in whilst it was installing. Now when I boot up I have to plug the USB stick in so that it boots, otherwise GRUB will throw up an error??

[10:51] matty3269 check grubs boot commands, sounds like it's trying to boot from the wrong device or something [10:51] |Kit|, you would not want to have samba shares over the wild internet either.

[11:38] Ipkaf: which command? [11:38] manoff, why would it be called usb at all? sdb = scsci drive b. :) sda = scsi drive a.

[11:39] Sorry to bother you guys but ive forgotten my username and password for ubuntu [11:39] gateway [11:39] still it's weird that first it does work without problems!! only on reconnect there is a problem! [11:39] thx Starnestommy [11:39] argh, and it is not subnet but "netmask" [11:39] merci [11:39] both username and password? [11:39] faileas yeah [11:39] SebastianMcK: go into recovery mode and check /etc/passwd for your username, then set the password with "passwd username" [11:40] tadzhikaz: i used a madwifi patch for that device under 8.04.., but if you can see networks, i dn't know why you couldn't log in to them [11:40] Does anyone know how to increase the increments my sound goes up/down by when I press my vol+ / vol- keyboard keys? [11:40] iStarnestommy: dont really get what you mean? how do i check it and do i get into recovery mode by the grub menu? im really sorry to be a bother [11:41] there should be a dpkg-reconfig similar command to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. But what is it? i cant remember :( [11:41] SebastianMcK: don't apologise so much, no-one minds [11:41] IndyGunFreak, in site write, that madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007.tar.gz is patched... [11:41] I'll just try to reinstall [11:41] SebastianMcK: recovery mode is accessed via grub, yes [11:41] SebastianMcK: there's a recovery mode option in the grub menu. To check /etc/passwd, run "nano /etc/passwd" [11:42] somehow the dhcp server and configuration for the network cards cannot be added using a tool in xubuntu.. only during the install!!!! [11:42] Starnestommy: alright ill go and see if it works [11:42] tadzhikaz: don't know, i patched it myself, and it works fine... on it now actually, in hardy [11:42] Hello guys [11:43] anyone knows how to get my webcam work [11:43] !webcam | justAsset_ [11:43] justAsset_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [11:43] Vistauser: normally there is also this nm-applet [11:43] thanks...

[11:45] ak5: I did not configure the network during install of xubuntu, then I just connected my xunbtu to my dsl router and it just worked.. but when I disconnect the internetconnection by clicking on the network icon and then try to reconnect the blue circle just keeps turning but I cannot use the internet anymore.. then I have to reboot... and it works again [11:45] IndyGunFreak, thank you for answer [11:45] that is the problem of windows [11:45] Starnestommy: i have already dowonloaded it. what other packages it needs?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password.

[11:57] Nikunj93: Tru #firefox [11:57] Gimbli, ah sry, I think you might have misunderstood me My sound keys work (they increase/decrease sound) but by very, very little [11:57] there should be a dpkg-reconfig or similar command to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. But what is it? [11:57] Hey all, my fast user switching applet has started showing only logged-in users since recently (after a system update?) Any clues?

[11:58] SebastianMcK: nothing to do w/ nice or not nice, you made a foolish statement.., [11:58] SebastianMcK: thats what you get for mentioning windows ;) [11:58] Vistauser: just fill in your gateway and ip address, you don't need to get an ip automatically from your dhcp server [11:58] We aren't paid to be nice? [11:59] sebastian: did you reset your password? [11:59] hi [11:59] is there a software which saves everything typed? [11:59] you should go to #debian, and see how "nice" they are.. [11:59] aks [11:59] I need to control a chat of my child [11:59] rutgermasi: well if I have configured my dslr router as a dhcp server will it allow a static address to be used?! [11:59] the images is only hazy in some places [11:59] like orkut [11:59] Does Gutsy retain USB device configuration between reboots? My USB went haywire when I connected a cheap USB->serial adapter, and rebooting doesn't help. [11:59] Vistauser, most, yes [11:59] why i have to manually edit /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme in order the mouse pointer to change??? [11:59] Vistauser: yes [11:59] http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074 [11:59] Vistauser: yes, it will. the router normally runs independent from the dhcp server [11:59] and this linl [12:00] how come changing it in appearance dont work anymore??? [12:00] Snowball: I don't think so. [12:00] vistakiller you need to select an IP outside of the DHCP interval [12:00] ak5 u here? [12:00] anyone? [12:00] Snowball, I don't know, try to google keylogger+ubuntu [12:00] battlesquid: so how do I find out the dhcp intervall?! [12:00] Nikunj93, yes [12:00] LazyAngel: i missed the full question, but dpkg-reconfigure locales or console-data ? (but ubuntu locales are different iirc) [12:00] Vistauser see you router docs [12:00] ak5, thank you =) I did not know what word I need to search for =) [12:01] thank you ak5 [12:01] battlesquid, no, vistauser: choose ip within your dhcp ip range, [12:01] Vistauser on my router there is a web config where i can select that interval [12:01] HERE WE GO AGAIN! I am really beginning to wonder if linux has matured as much as I expected.... [12:01] rutger that wont work [12:01] Snowball, no problem - I have that kind of question often too, as english isn't my native language :) [12:01] some network manager is supposed to do that stuff for me!!! [12:01] Vistauser: your user name says it all, Linux has matured A LOT in 4-5yrs I've been using it... [12:01] Vistauser: go to http://192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254 or 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.254 (all with http://, open in firefox) [12:01] Vistauser, linux seems to work fine for me? [12:02] ak5 [12:02] ak5, where are you from? [12:02] u read [12:02] what i wrote? [12:02] Vistauser this isn't about ubuntu maturing. it's about users needing to understand networking [12:02] Nikunj93, nope, sry [12:02] Snowball, germany [12:02] I can believe you guys when you say it works! [12:02] i want to say [12:02] lol [12:02] but at the cost of how much hours of your spare time?! [12:02] haha xD [12:02] the image is hazy only in orkut and http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2008/4/26/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion-074 [12:02] I also have some actual work to do... [12:02] Vistauser, out of the box usually [12:02] Vistauser sure we all do [12:03] Vistauser: give some of us an ssh connection with your pc and it will work :P [12:03] Nikunj93, I don't know, I said that already - I have never seen this problem - sry [12:03] well I am using a very old computer... when I select the eth0 card for autoconfiguring the kernel panicks... [12:03] and the install stalls [12:03] will kubuntu 8.04 install my nvidia driver for me? [12:03] ok [12:03] digitalpsyko, yes [12:03] then only rebooting work [12:03] im in the hardware drivers [12:03] digitalpsyko: most likely.. you just may need to enable it in restricted driver [12:03] ak5, Austria here =) [12:03] can i delete /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme ?? [12:04] battlesquid: you all do what? invest a lot of spare time or have some work to do? [12:04] Snowball, heh nice :) [12:04] it says proprietary drivers are being used to make this system work properly. [12:04] Snowball, my parents are thinking of moving to gratz [12:04] how comes? [12:04] digitalpsyko, yeah - unless you have moral complaints that'll be fine [12:04] digitalpsyko: does it show "Enabled" is checked, and status is in use? [12:04] i enabled the restricted driver [12:04] yeah [12:04] Snowball, job [12:04] digitalpsyko: ok, so whats the prob? [12:04] ak-, i c =) [12:04] it pops up everytime i restart though [12:05] digitalpsyko: what does? [12:05] well, I need to leave for a moment, will be back soon [12:05] thx ak5 [12:05] bye =) [12:05] Snowball, I'm going to stay and finish the abitur here :) [12:05] the restricted driver thing [12:05] Snowball, byebye [12:05] and then you are going to come over here? [12:05] ak5, gimme 10 mins *g* [12:05] Snowball, kk bye [12:05] ok,well, i don't know... that must be because kde sucks.. i've never had that issue w/ Ubuntu.; [12:05] Enter your new UNIX password, i cannot enter anything [12:05] I have an archive which the archiver tells me is tar, but it can't extract it as .tar. I can use konqueror to browse through the archive, but how can I extract it? [12:06] IndyGunFreak, even if you speak the truth - don't start WM wars here pls [12:06] Hello, I have an AMD 64 bit Asus laptop, do you guys recommend that I install the 32 bit version of ubuntu or the 64 bits ? [12:06] will i be able to install compiz-fuzion with this restricted driver? [12:06] ak5: i'll start what i like [12:06] IndyGunFreak, we tolerate bashing windows users already :P [12:06] as84: if you have 4gb or more RAM/memory, you will need the 64bit version [12:06] digitalpsyko: you should be able to [12:06] I only got 2gb [12:06] SebastianMcK: just type it in. Nothing will show up, though [12:07] as84: I recommend the 32-bit version [12:07] as84: i always recommend 32bit... less problems [12:07] im converting from windows xppro and i must say i do like this kubuntu alot better [12:07] as84, unless you need the 64bit arch, use the 32bit [12:07] rutgermasi, you mind telling me why? [12:07] i like the kdesktop environment instead of the gnome [12:07] but isn't less performant thje 32 bits, [12:07] ? [12:07] i love that answer.. [12:07] as84, only in theory [12:07] install 64bit, then come back here with the constant problems you have. [12:07] as84: flash, java, and some other things are hard to get working on the 64-bit version [12:08] thanks fellas [12:08] as84: you will get a grater performance of your ram if you install 64bit version, only if you have 4gb or more [12:08] Starnestommy: thats just the start of it.. many drivers do not have 64bit versions...., lots of programsdon't work under 64bit. [12:09] but i heard with an dpkg -i --force [12:09] 64bit is just to much of a headache, at least right now... i'll use it when its actually ready [12:09] it would force the install [12:09] as84: nice way to break a system [12:09] as84: so don't use 64bit [12:09] yup. [12:09] IndyGunFreak, I use 64 bit archlinux on my desktop and everything works fine [12:09] >_> [12:09] hi. will there be any major change the the gnome UI in the future release of Ubuntu? [12:09] IndyGunFreak, it just requires more tweaking is all [12:09] digitalpsyko: what did i do? XD [12:09] ak5: arch and ubuntu is very different [12:09] phoareau: in 8.10? [12:10] Starnestommy: THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKS! [12:10] yes [12:10] arch is probably 64bit ready.., in my opinion, Ubuntu is not. [12:10] phoareau: I think you may want to try asking in #ubuntu+1 [12:10] IndyGunFreak, true, but you were talking about the 64bit in general no? [12:10] Suse is a great 64bit distro... although i hate it., it works quite well. [12:10] ak5: no i was not.. i was referring to ubuntu... [12:10] XD my nutz [12:10] IndyGunFreak, AH OK THEN [12:10] Starnestommy, ok thenk you. [12:10] I have an external SCSI USB CDRW. How do I find where its path is [12:10] lol capslock :/ [12:11] whileimhere: its probably /media/something [12:11] you guys have an idea why ubuntu choose gnome as default DE ? [12:11] as84, why not? [12:11] as84: because kde sucks, and newbs didn't like xfce or flux [12:11] KDE seems cooler [12:11] as84, grab kubuntu then [12:11] as84: I think the system utilities were easier to use and it used less space than kde [12:11] as84, choice is the keyword here [12:11] i see [12:12] not to mention, gnome users don't get used to staring at an hourglass [12:12] anyone ever tried arch here? [12:12] lol [12:12] what hourglass? [12:12] is it worth trying over ubuntu ? [12:12] as84, archlinux? yes [12:12] * faileas hasn't had much problems with KDE === IshinoSan_ is now known as IshinoSan [12:12] ak5 and what did you think of it ? [12:12] as84: you can try it in vmware or virtualbox, or just install next to your ubuntu [12:12] as84, are you proficiant with the commandline? [12:12] yeah [12:12] * IndyGunFreak would rather get his face stomped by a golf cleat wearing Rosie O Donnell, than use KDE [12:13] as84, go for it - its harder to setup [12:13] i'd go back to windows before i used KDE [12:13] as84, but way faster [12:13] gnome is good. i like gnome over kde or kde 4 [12:13] as84, I use it on my desktop [12:13] drivers wise, does it support as much as hardwares as ubuntu ? [12:13] IndyGunFreak: i use gnome too (on another system). cripes its a desktop envitonment, not a religion ;p [12:13] but the thing is, the gnome UI never chnage, it stays the same. i think it needs a facelift. [12:13] faileas: lol, for me, its almost religion, i despise kDE.. [12:13] as84, it supports a lot - I have never had any issues - but if you mean out of the box - I'd say no [12:14] I still cannot get GRIP to find this external drive. [12:14] hello, can someone help me with Creox? it won't do any effects for my guitar [12:14] as84, arch is not supposed to work out of the box - after the install you don't even have X [12:14] as84, if you are comfortable with that - just try it [12:14] IndyGunFreak: i'm platform agnostic ;p [12:14] How can i get Kubuntu Gutsy to play DVD's? [12:15] faileas: lol [12:15] i probably should read their install guide [12:15] IndyGunFreak: in more ways than one ;p [12:15] !medibuntu | scoldog [12:15] scoldog: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [12:15] my latest 'toy' runs irix ;p [12:15] as84, I prefer using ubuntu for desktops if you don't want to configure anything [12:15] as84, but servers are awesome in arch [12:15] Thanks, I thought it would automatically install the codecs like normal Ubuntu [12:16] scoldog, there is a guide for that, you just need to install two or three progs [12:16] i would run centos on servers though [12:16] i dont trust arch [12:16] it is too new [12:16] is the first time deal with vmware and i can start it but i got this message " Cannot find a serial number to unlock this version of VMware Server " how to solve this ? [12:16] i've never used arch, but i've heard it has an incredible package manager once you learn to use it. [12:16] as84, well, ok - trust doesn't really have to do with it though - just take a look at the source :) [12:17] so how come arch would theorically be faster than ubuntu [12:17] lest bloated services? [12:17] as84, it is i686 optiized [12:17] i mean they both run same kernel [12:17] as84: and less bloat [12:17] as84: this is way off topic.. if you want to try arch downloadi t and try it. [12:17] well I do an amd 64 :-/ [12:17] as84, same kernelVERSION [12:17] and perhaps different kernel config options [12:17] hey, is anyone availiable to possibly help me with some driver problems? [12:17] I am sorry IndyGunFreak [12:17] does ubuntu have a defragmenting porgram? or that is not needed on ubuntu? [12:17] hi guys - has anyone got a solution to this? lets say i have a file name called 'hello world.txt'. i wish to rename this to 'hello world.c'. this file is read only and i would like to use the sudo command. when i stary typing the command at the terminal using 'sudo mv "Hello world.txt" "hell...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [12:18] can wubi break my windows xp install? [12:18] potty: probably.. [12:18] can no one help me with Creox? the Jack server seems to be working fine. i can't figure this thing out [12:18] thanks for the help [12:18] potty, everything can brake winxp [12:19] potty: why don't you just use the CD like normal people [12:19] k i will run ubuntu in vbox then [12:19] potty: as long asyou have a backup, it shouldn't be an issue. [12:19] potty: you can always access your files on windows, but you could get the problem that you can't startup windows anymore (then search ubuntu forums) [12:19] When I insert a Music CD in to my external USB CDRW to rip to OGG I get the following message when I try to mount it via the applet from the toolbar.

But every time i restart ubuntu it completely forgets about my configuration and goes into "safe graphics mode" , So every time i start up ubuntu I have to reinstall the driver. I can pastebin a log file if they exist if it will help. Does anyone know how to [12:20] overcome this?

[12:20] hi, anyone know how to get ubuntu to remember an ssh address, and well basically shorten it [12:20] whileimhere: audio cds have no filesystem. you don't mount them. [12:20] e.g. someone@192.168.0.1 to someone [12:21] joe_nix: do you have the driver enabled right now?

[12:22] joe_nix: ok.. if you ran it w/ gksudo, that should open it with root priv. then set your resoltion, then apply, then click "Save to X COnfigurationi file".

[13:41] zerodamage, i agree. and its not spoken about much online either [13:41] RainCT: ok , think i got the idea:) tnx [13:41] Sarah: add/remove will automatically install anything that x-sensors needs when you install it [13:41] zerodamage, to help reduce my blood pressure, i ended changing the boot arguments to just quiet from quiet splash [13:41] heloo [13:42] m1r: the really important stuff are the hidden files from your home directory, which contain the configuration and data (when applicable) of all your applications [13:42] m1r: yw [13:42] Starnestommy, ok i thought so, i just think it wont work because last time i tried it never worked, but this is a new install so i'll see what happens this time [13:42] Its like its just something you have to live with, but if that is the case, I will just uninstall ubuntu (till I calm down) [13:42] zerodamage, i not 100% sure, but i _think_ my problem was solved in hardy. that computer is about 1600 km away so i cant confirm, though [13:42] Right [13:42] Sarah: iirc there's some problem with xsensors [13:42] oh [13:42] is there alternatives to network-manager? i need something with more features that has a gui [13:42] You do understand that I am unable to use this computer if nvidia drivers are installed? [13:43] I cant log in [13:43] RainCT: what about replicating all software from one machien to other? that is all hidden in /etc, right ? [13:43] Anyone know how to use sqlite? I'm trying to dump permissions from one sqlite file, and import them into another file. The problem is that the new file already has some permissions in it [13:43] does gkrellm work alright on ubuntu? i noticed it isnt in that add/remove list, but i like it [13:43] * RainCT got a possible fix for it ready but it didn't get into Hardy at time [13:43] id probably like ti better than x sensors anyway [13:43] kripz: did you try wicd? [13:43] binarycodes, even less features [13:43] A process is sending/recieving a very small amount of internet traffic constantly but I can't easily tell whats doing it. Is there a utility that details which process is responsible for the traffic? [13:43] :O [13:43] binarycodes, in terms of security [13:43] oh [13:43] zerodamage, not able to log in? [13:44] well, then i surrender [13:44] learningskils.blogspot.com [13:44] =) [13:44] m1r: installing the same applications you mean? no, they are all around the filesystem (binaries in /bin, /sbin/, /usr/bin or /usr/games, data in /usr/share/, global configuration in /etc, etc.) [13:44] zerodamage, the drivers kick in somewher down the line and gdm opens fine... [13:44] m1r: you can get a list of all installed packages and install them on the new PC if you wnat, though [13:44] kripz: btw, you can always setup firewalls [13:44] m1r: (if you're interested I can tell you what the command for that would be) [13:44] rainct, how can one do that * [13:44] binarycodes, im actually trying to connect to a network, not create one [13:44] zerodamage, which nvidia card do you have? [13:44] also, when i reboot or shutdown i see a bunch of dbus errors, is that anything major? i looked in the logs but i can't see the errors there though so i'm not sure what they say [13:45] Yesterday, i waited 45 minutes, no drivers worked [13:45] m1r: the irc /me command? [13:45] (Ubuntu 8.04, tried Envy, Restricted-drivers, Manual install, Nvidia Geforce 8400 installed) [13:45] m1r: also, if you don't want to download the packages again many of them should still be /var/cache/apt/archive; you can copy the files from there over to the other machine [13:45] zerodamage, turn off the splash, and remove quiet. see how far the boot gets [13:45] I've been getting random lockups since a reboot yesterday I had a 5 day uptime before that, have we heard anytrhing ? [13:45] learningskils.blogspot.com [13:45] Ok [13:46] Where do i do that? [13:46] i am having troulbe getting sound in wine when vlc is running in the background - i have tried to remove pulse audio by selecting alsa for all options in system > preferences > sound but i still have no success - how can i fix this? [13:46] akses your learningskils.blogspot.com [13:46] hi channel [13:46] m1r: one moment..

[13:47] where is the grub menu?, is it where you choose between normal and recovery boot? [13:47] m1r: yes. I'm trying to think of a command to get a list of all installed programs, will tell you in a moment [13:47] Ward1983, a serial terminal?

Then i choose manual and pressed next, just to see what "manual" was. Went eating when it was loading, and when i came back, i had an error manager. I first thought that Ubuntu haad deleted my windows partition, but every file/picture is here. Only problem is that the "Guided" alternative in partition manager is gone, its just [13:59] why this command tells me: current policy: frequency should be within 1.60 GHz and 1.60 GHz.

[14:16] yep [14:16] raded: ok so let's see what we have so far: you can open a wav in VLC, but when you try to play it you get no sound. You can open an ac3 in VLC, and when you play it you _do_ get sound [14:16] RainCT, that's what i'm trying to figure out. [14:16] barfman_: 19683^(1/9) [14:16] jrib i don't think so [14:16] i sun-java6-plugin 6-06-0ubuntu1 The Java(TM) Plug-in, Java SE 6 [14:16] i means installed right?

[14:18] barfman_: nice, after you finish please share it, but along with it attach a note on fermats theory too [14:18] simNIX, your best bet if anything would be xubuntu [14:18] bibstha: about:plugins on the url bar shows the java plugin?? [14:18] okies - ty for recomend [14:18] hello [14:19] Enselic: no errors running vlc in terminal [14:19] erUSUL: lemme try [14:19] !ppc | simNIX check here [14:19] simNIX check here: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [14:19] think so? how would it be helpful? [14:19] does ubuntu / xubuntu support Atheros wifi card ? [14:19] it's going to be kinda nice, user defined inputs and such. [14:19] j/#surabaya [14:19] erUSUL: sadly no [14:19] tnx [14:19] ruiboon: it's done [14:19] barfman_: because i know nothing about fermats [14:19] ? [14:19] haha alright [14:20] good point. [14:20] erUSUL: i tried symlinking the plugin from /etc/alternatives/xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so [14:20] georgeguitar: could you type in the link to the pastebin? [14:20] erUSUL: inside ~/.mozilla/plugins [14:20] binarycodes, what does fermats have to do with ubuntu support? [14:20] raded: are you 100% sure the wav contains sound? [14:20] Enselic: yes [14:20] bibstha: o.O !!?? are you using the default firefox? or have you instaled ff3 on gutsy? [14:20] I've got an odd error with the Evolution Inbox ... when I click on an email the content is from a different email than the header in the Inbox ...

[14:21] im not getting any signal into my surround receiver. [14:21] Hey, is the Linksys WUSB54GS supported on 8.04? [14:21] binarycodes, offtopic here thanks [14:21] erUSUL: o.O :( [14:21] bazhang: ok [14:21] raded: unplug the reciever please and use a headset or something [14:21] bibstha: ff2 does not use xulrunner1.9 thats for ff3 you are on 8.04 [14:21] raded: we don't want to debug your reciever yet [14:21] raded: let's put it off the chain [14:22] im using the spdif output [14:22] bibstha: so the plugin you linked wont work === acuster is now known as ac_afk_too [14:22] erUSUL: ohh [14:22] why should i use a headset? [14:22] erUSUL: u saved me a lot of headache [14:22] How do I set a file to a keybinding? [14:22] bibstha: why you do not use ff3 ?? [14:22] erUSUL: what to do for ff2?

[14:22] Hey, is the Linksys WUSB54GS supported on hardy? [14:22] Hello, i can not install ubuntu. I had three partition options, Dontremember, "Guided: Use whole disk" and "Manual" [14:22] georgeguitar: try $sudo cpufreq-selector -f 1199997 [14:23] bibstha: dunno really :-/ [14:23] Enselic: ok [14:23] :-) [14:23] hi all ! [14:23] How can I return to the sound of 7.10? [14:23] Dontremember was the easy one, with Windows | Linux, and able to drag the "|" to make the partitions bigger [14:23] Now the easiest is gone [14:23] georgeguitar: check if there is any change to the cpu speed after that command [14:23] Hi, I just changed the mount point of my USBHDD and now it will not mount. This means that i can't change the settings back [14:23] And i dont wan tto delete windows [14:23] ruiboon: ok [14:23] can anyone help? [14:23] How do I set a file to a keybinding? [14:23] RainCT: it works! :) i just have to run my wine apps in a window the size of my desktop under metacity. when i do the same using compiz it refuses to hide my top and bottom panels and also the 1280x1024 virtual desktop has a window status bar - ty for the help [14:23] How do i make a new partition with Manual-option? [14:23] Enselic: i can see the soundwaves in audacity [14:24] laeg: great :) [14:24] RainCT: :) [14:24] I cant click the "New partition"button [14:24] Its grey, unclickable-grey [14:24] :S [14:24] ruiboon: how can I see if it changed? [14:24] raded: have you made sure that the volume bars or whaever they are called are in the right position? (use gnome-alsamixer) [14:24] RainCT: is there anyway to make it switch automagically? i know that's a stretch :) [14:24] DarkRainbow: use fdisk [14:25] Is anybody aware of this error? Email title in the Evolution Inbox does not match the email contained when clicking on it. [14:25] Enselic: yep [14:25] what is fdisk? [14:25] everything was working until i watched a movie in dolby digital [14:25] then the sound died === amfontinha is now known as quest4 [14:25] DarkRainbow: best to use GParted (it's somewhere in System, as "PartitionEditor"). resize the windows partition and then you'll have to create at least a ext3 partition for the system and a swap partition for the SWAP space (size should be something between 1/2 and 4/2 of you're RAM) [14:26] DarkRainbow: (it's recommended to add a second ext3 partition for your home directory) [14:26] raded: if you create a new, clean account, does that account also have the same problem? (try opening a wav first) [14:26] :o [14:26] I'' try [14:26] I'll try [14:26] georgeguitar: $ sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq [14:26] DarkRainbow: fdisk - Partition table manipulator for Linux [14:27] laeg: you can try with devil's pie [14:27] * RainCT doesn't remember how to use it, though, so I can't tell you [14:27] ruiboon: it says: 1599996 [14:27] erUSUL: great java works [14:27] binarycodes: he is asking how to use the manual partitioner in the installer and you tell him to use a command line tool? o_O [14:29] RainCT: sweet i'll look into it. do you have any pulse audio problems? [14:29] RainCT: i use that myself. [14:29] georgeguitar: that seems weird. that was a most direct way to change the cpufreq (though not that user friendly). [14:29] so nothing apart from failed cd integrity test that could be the cause for install hanging up at 75% ? [14:30] laeg: I've switched back to ALSA, with Pulse Audio I couldn't only have on application using the sound card at a time :S [14:30] Any suggestions for Linux equivelent to Airoboform? [14:30] ak5, you removed quiet and splash from boot parameters to see the exact errors yet? [14:30] scribawf: if you don't explain what it is you're reducing your changed to get an answer.. [14:30] georgeguitar: sorry that i am not able to help. you could try others who are better in this channel (: [14:30] ruiboon: hum then what is must be the problem? [14:31] bazhang, I am using alternate cd - and no [14:31] is there any app in ubuntu such as toucan from portable apps to synchronize folders and delete repeated files? [14:31] hi, I've upgraded to 8.04 yesterday and I have a question, why does nautilus call all my partitions "Media of XXGB" thought they're mounted on specific places by me (/etc/fstab) ? [14:31] ak5 ah the alternate cd; then there is no splash--you check iso against md5 [14:31] Bert_2: that's just the new behaviour in gnome now =( [14:31] bazhang, yes [14:31] ruiboon: thank you very much, I'll continue investigating [14:31] RainCT Basically for Firfox on ubuntu a password keeper/logger. [14:32] Oli```: is there a work-around, like a label or something ? [14:32] binarydigit: yes but if he's already confused with the GUI.. [14:32] RainCT: ya that's my problem. if i have vlc paused in the background and i launch wine there is no sound. as per a ubotu guide in system > preferences > sound i set everything to alsa but there has been no change - is there another step to disabling pulse? [14:32] How do I set a file to run on a keypress? [14:32] scribawf: and... Why would you want that? Firefox is already able to remember password by defualt [14:32] ak5 this a dual boot or only ubuntu [14:33] bazhang, only xubuntu [14:33] is there any app in ubuntu such as toucan from portable apps to synchronize folders and delete repeated files? [14:33] laeg: I've only changed it there [14:33] ak5, what are the system specs [14:33] (didn't need restart nor anything) [14:33] Bert_2: I've just put up with it - Thankfully all my volumes are different sizes but I'll have a look [14:33] newbie, what is toucan [14:33] newbie like an mp3 device? [14:33] RainCT: how can i confirm pulse audio is still running? [14:33] Enselic: same problem with the other account [14:33] bazhang, pretty bad - 500mhz p3 and 64mb ram [14:33] hello [14:33] newbie: there's rsync but it's a command line tool. there must be some GUI for that, though [14:34] raded: what program did you use when playing wavs failed? [14:34] computer crashed when logging out from the new account. [14:34] ak5, it is the ram most likely--you might try fluxbuntu [14:34] Oli```: I'm going to search the ubuntuforums and soem GNOME docs, perhaps I can find a way [14:34] raded: when playing wavs stopped to work, rather [14:34] failed? it doesnt fail. [14:34] RainCT; Hmmmm....well haven't discovered that feature yet, but still fumbling around with Firefox. Tnx anyways sorry asked ? B 4 I searched through, (didn't do my homework :)) [14:34] i have problem with nvidia geforce fx 5600 driver problem on 8.04 [14:34] raded: there is no sound, right? [14:34] bazhang, is a portable application for windows to synchronize folders [14:34] correct. [14:34] Bert_2: if you do find a way, please drop me a PM =) [14:34] raded: then it fails I would say [14:34] bazhang, hmm, wouldn't that give me an error message before trying to install? [14:34] laeg: I don't know.. 'ps xa | grep pulse' will show you that's it's running, but I also still have the daemon running though I don't use it [14:34] bazhang, :/ [14:34] yep [14:35] can anyone help me get the inbuilt mic working on my laptop (samsung q45)? It makes a noise if I tap it but skype and gnome-sound-recorder don't pick it up. [14:35] raded: so what program did you use when it stopped working? [14:35] the problem happend after i was watching a movie in vlc [14:35] after i installed driver from synaptic the screen and all windows are distorted [14:35] ak5, no real idea; just a guess on my part; 64mb is pretty slim in the ram department [14:35] RainCT: can i paste the output? [14:35] RainCT: 3 lines [14:35] hello i have a UTF16 file.. how can I convert it to UTF8 from commandline? thanks [14:35] bazhang, yeah [14:35] ak5 no it just will freeze [14:35] sudobash, ah thx [14:35] drmarwat: have you tried uninstalling them again? :P [14:35] if you are talking about ubuntu live cd [14:35] raded: sorry I'm out of ideas, you could try #alsa @ freenode perhaps [14:35] Enselic: after i watched the movie. i tried to play a .mp3 and i got no sound [14:35] Is there a basic CD player for the GNOME taskbar? [14:35] laeg: sure.. paste.ubuntu.com [14:35] so how much ram does xubuntu require ? [14:36] Enselic: on this network? [14:36] raded: think so yes [14:36] Bert_2: okay I've got something... apparently things need proper labels now - mountpoints won't do [14:36] i think is 384 now??? [14:36] whileimhere: just use vlc or xmms [14:36] I am looking to synchronize two external hard drives to backup my data twice, but I have old and new data all mixed, and is almost impossible for me to synchronize them.

[14:36] fluxbox isn't really an option bazhang [14:36] ak5 try xubuntu [14:36] or debian [14:36] Bert_2: run "sudo blkid" to see if your drives have labels, if they don't, read: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4835670&postcount=17 [14:36] sudobash: I mean like an applet [14:36] sudobash, this is what I am trying [14:36] sudobash, already trying [14:37] then try debian is you cant xubuntu [14:37] ubottu, synchronize [14:37] Factoid synchronize not found [14:37] Oli```: okey great, thanks :D [14:37] (flux) [14:37] hmm :/ [14:37] Ubuntu is Debian [14:37] looks the same almostr [14:37] feels the same [14:37] !ubuntu [14:37] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[14:37] sudobash, see thing is - its to be a pure websurfing machine - fluxbox (or other minimal wms) aren't really an option as this is for a complete noob [14:38] how do you even benchmark such things? [14:38] RainCT: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11419/ [14:38] Steve-O you may have a Xorg problem [14:38] or gnome problem [14:38] how do i fix that [14:38] ak5, they can be - web requires an icon on screen - you could do windowmaker and xubuntu has full metacity menus [14:38] try to restart and see what happens [14:38] i have [14:38] Steve-O, what video card?

[15:30] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 VeryAnnoyed [15:30] cragic: no, they are different. some people recommend EnvyNG, but i like to install the latest ones from nvidia by hand. Here is a guide if you want to do it manually that I find useful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [15:30] how do i integrate the emerald themes into gnome? [15:30] bazhang: Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for [15:30] ushimi: could this be a side effect of a kernel module not loading correctly? - I have a module fail to load on startup but its too quick for me to read. Is there a log or a verbose mode to boot ubuntu up? === feli1 is now known as felixmosquera [15:31] hm, ok.... ubuntu seems to be messed up... sadly... [15:31] ushimi: Thanks a lot i will give that a try [15:32] is it possible to install ubuntu 8.04 in a way that makes it start in safe graphics mode every time? Or will it give me this option at start up? [15:32] Can someone check scp connection on 8.04 - goto places, connect to server, and connect to a server via ssh [15:32] cragic: yes ... in /var/log/dmesg i think is the boot log? not 100% sure about that [15:32] I can do this on console, but not via nautilus... is it broken or an issue with me? [15:32] I google the error and only find 7 results... all source code references [15:32] ushimi:Thanks again :) [15:32] pulseezar: modify your grub config file to have safe mode first [15:32] http://www.google.com/search?q=%22ssh+program+unexpectedly+exited%22 [15:33] i can't remember what its called tho >< [15:33] craigc: no problem (and you can use TAB to auto-complete ppls names :) ) [15:33] so, ssh and scp work in terminal - but nautilus won't connect to my server :( says ssh program unexpectedly exited [15:33] The other night I installed virtualbox on my ubuntu, I had problems at first with ubuntu showing two kernels, but now that I'm back to one, I have lost my wireless.. and I dont mean I cant connect to any wireless..

Additionally, gftp breaks at exactly the same point - after asking for password [15:34] geek: thanks, i'll look into that [15:35] so, ssh and scp work in console, nautilus and gftp get a connection reset by peer after I enter password [15:35] Hi there, I was in here a while ago because my sound wouldn't work in firefox and some one told me a package to install, and i can't remember it [15:36] mc-george, could it have been totem for firefox??

There is also some guide on the forums iirc with these steps === paintba||er is now known as jk______________ [17:06] malocite: nope, only the / partition must be formatted by the installer, you have to specifically tell it to format each partition ;) [17:06] Please?

[17:20] swegner, this has nothing to do with your problem, but you should put mount dirs in /media [17:20] bazhang: sorry. [17:20] seriously, NeoGeo64 people appreciate Ubuntu appreciation, but it would be appreciated if the room were used for support [17:20] !vm | gaintsura [17:20] gaintsura: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [17:20] Ashfire908: fstab at http://paste.ubuntu.com/11445/ .

[17:21] swegner, ok, let me look at it. [17:21] bah, they still only have vmware-player :( [17:21] babolat: virtualbox screwed me out of my wireless [17:21] I was hoping they finally put vmware-workstation in universe [17:21] Hey guys, if I want to ssh into a computer within my own network which IP do I pass to ssh? [17:21] gaintsura: oh. i'm on a wired connection so i won't know. sorry ;) [17:22] matthew_, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file [17:22] I'm stuck to a wired line unitl I figure out how to get my wireless back [17:22] cylux - uhh, the IP of the machine you want to connect to? [17:22] cylux: the one asigned to the computer by DHCP in the router. i.e. 192.168.2.5 [17:22] gaintsura: whats iwconfig say? [17:22] Eth0 and Lo [17:22] no ath0/wifi0 [17:22] swegner, can I see the boot up log?

Trying to get Skype to work so I can call my mom for mother's day [17:23] !skype | Fructose [17:23] Fructose: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [17:23] Ashfire908: sure I can paste that... do you know logfile that's in? [17:23] babolat: thanks.. I know =) [17:23] Fructose: in a terminal do: alsamixer [17:23] babolat: Skype isn't the problem. The microphone is. [17:23] swegner, syslog i think, let me check... [17:23] jrib: thanks, when i opened the new link, firefox3 crashed and restarted my session ;-). from this link, i can see it works in 32 bit, should be easy. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500 i guess i just need to make it think we're in 32 bit?????? [17:23] Fructose: oh you need skype installed? [17:23] heymr: Already is installed [17:23] Fructose: listen to gaintsura [17:23] Fructose, try un-muting it - most of the time the mic defaults to being muted with volume set to 0 [17:24] Fructose: alsamixer [17:24] In alsamixer now [17:24] heymr: Thanks :D [17:24] Ashfire908, hmm, the # kopt line seems really compilcated, what should I change? [17:24] anyone have Realtec chipset rtl8180 in wireless network ? [17:24] Fructose: hit m to unmute stuff and up and down to change volume [17:24] babolat: dont tell anyone to listen to me, I'm an ubuntu noob [17:24] aguitel: what gives? [17:24] Fructose: make sure you have the right Mic selected [17:25] matthew_, one sec [17:25] babolat: do you have it? [17:25] gaintsura: i meant your instruction alsamixer [17:25] ..? [17:25] Fructose: how goes it? [17:25] aguitel: i did. but asking that question won't help at all.. please provide details of your problem [17:25] cylux: np [17:25] hey everyone dont listen to gaintsura :) oh btw im back :) [17:26] hehe [17:26] Ashfire908: mm, I don't see anything relevant in syslog. There is a subdirectory /var/log/fsck with 2 files, checkfs and checkroot. It's hard to say if either of them have any useful output, but I can paste if you'd like [17:26] babolat: wap encription don't work with this chipset in hardy [17:26] heymr: Well, I tried using it before... part of the problem is that I don't know how the hell to use Sound Recorder to test it [17:26] lol funny no7up4u2 [17:26] Fructose: why not use skype voice test? [17:26] If I have a laptop with Hardy on it, and I would like it to NFS mount one set of directories when i'm at home (connected via wireless) and a different set of directories when i'm at work (also via wireless, if it matters) would I be able to set things up to do this automatically? [17:26] Fructose: um, you could install audacity... [17:26] aguitel: can you paste your iwconfig file? [17:26] heymr: Tried that too, but takes longer [17:26] swegner, i can't find it (i'm not the one with the fsck error :) ) but it's prob in messages, kern.log, or syslog (use the gnome or kde logviewer, it's easier [17:27] was uploading stuff to my site gaintsura , didnt mean to ditch yah! [17:27] heymr: Also tried Audacity and it has as many options as Sound Recorder [17:27] in ubuntu 7.10 only build i can use on a dell e1505 since 8 didnt get my wirteless to work how i turn off for whole systemm ivp6 [17:27] no7up4u2: I removed virtualbox-ose and its kernel module, but I still have a -386 kernel (which is something new) in Grub, but it does not boot [17:27] i dont need it in usa? [17:27] no7up4u2: np, I know everyone is busy [17:27] any one? [17:27] :( [17:27] Question - What FS does Ubuntu use by default? [17:27] Fructose: um.. in audacity you just hit r on your keyboard and start speaking. when you are done you hit space bar [17:27] babolat: i am not with my wireless now [17:27] no7up4u2: also, when I boot into the -16-generic kernel, it still loads up vboxdrv and a few other virtualbox things [17:27] NeoGeo64: ext3 [17:28] how do you change what the start button looks like [17:28] ray_: ipv6 is unrelated to your wireless problem [17:28] aguitel: ok. how do you know the issue is chipset-particular? [17:28] randal: in gconf-editor [17:28] thank you Starnestommy [17:28] hey, i have a problem. im trying to set up a dual-monitor system (nvidia 6800 pci card and proprietary drivers). everything seems fine, but when i tell it to save to the x config file, it says unable to create new backup [17:28] heymr: Well, no. There are a lot of recorder options in Preferences and the playback also fails. [17:28] hmmm u may want to edit ur grub but thats problem aside (easy fix) how the adapter reacting [17:28] matthew_, ok, you want it to stay after the grub is regenerated after a kernel upgrade? [17:28] how can I stop my screen from fading out after like 15 minutes [17:28] randal: under apps > panel > and then one of the objects [17:28] !equivalents [17:28] A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant [17:28] heymr how do i get there [17:28] astro76 i know will use 7.10 since did fine my wireless how i turn it off ubuntu thinks i have ivp6 routor [17:28] no7up4u2: still no wireless... still get the same problem with sudo modprobe ath_pci [17:28] thats why im asking !line [17:28] babolat: because in feisty and in gutsy are many problem with it [17:29] !ray line [17:29] Factoid ray line not found [17:29] Fructose: you need it set to hw:0,0 for both playback and mic [17:29] ashfire908, I think, I want to try disabiling acpi, because someone thinks its causing my deadlocks [17:29] why are u loading it manually ? [17:29] no to me [17:29] ? [17:29] ashfire908, BTW, what is acpi?

[17:30] no yes same thing thinks i have ipv6 still [17:30] matthew_, yeah [17:30] o ok [17:30] no7up4u2: yes.. in the network manager it only shows the wired network, no wireless [17:30] looks like page is slow to load [17:30] randal: or hit Alt-F2 and type in gconf-editor and hit enter [17:30] matthew_, for now, find the ubuntu boot option for standard boot [17:30] babolat: the card is generic ,not netgear maker [17:30] so this line?: title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic [17:30] root (hd0,1) [17:30] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=UUID=51e61ec1-33d6-49cc-8498-a183ebed395b ro quiet splash [17:31] aguitel: ok. that helps [17:31] matthew_, yes [17:31] ok long shout but try that, modprobe -r ath_pci than reload ur network /etc/init.d/networking restart than open up network manger an go manual [17:31] ashfire908: then do I just add "noacpi" to the end of it? [17:31] heymr if i want to change it back hoow do i do that [17:31] heymr: The recording device is hw: 0,0, but there's not even an option for playback device. [17:31] append " " to the kernel line. [17:32] randal: are you even in gconf-editor yet? [17:32] heymr: if i want to change it back can i [17:32] heymr: ya [17:32] aguitel: did you try to apply fixes in gutsy? or did they work?

[17:33] heymr: NO it doesn't [17:33] randal: alright, in the object folder there should be some stuff about "custom-icon" and then you can set the path to the icon [17:33] no7up4u2: there is no wireless connnection in the manual network config [17:33] Is there any English learning softwares available in ubuntu? [17:33] heymr: It's just noise [17:34] ashfire908: what will doing update0grub do? [17:34] alright I just did automatic upgrade from 6.06->8.04, anyone want to place bets on how screwed my system is? [17:34] heymr: I was speaking into it at the time [17:34] heymr: i got it [17:34] k just reboot and paste ur dmesg in paste bin we'll go from ther [17:34] *update-grub [17:34] heymr: now what [17:34] ok, brb [17:34] matthew_, later, you can append " noacpi" to the "# kopt=" line above [17:34] randal: i though you said you got it... [17:34] heymr: how do you set the path [17:34] i should spit while he;s gona just to see the look on his face... nah im not htat mean [17:34] ashfire908: so I need to do the update thing if I do that, but not what I did just now right? [17:34] randal: where are you at? you need an image, then you give it the path, i.e.: /home/randal/Pictures/.start.jpg [17:34] I will tell you after I reboot (supposing that the system is not dead c:\.... [17:34] matthew_, it regenerates the automagic options using the settings above (# kopt and that stuff) [17:35] Ashfire908: I found what might be some useful output in messages.

[17:39] Ashfire908: Thanks, take for time. It looks like perhaps it's not the old partition causing output, but perhaps sda2. sda2 is my root partition, formatted as ReiserFS. When I deleted the old JFS partition at sda1, I grew the sda2 partition to fill it's space. Would this cause some problems? [17:39] woooo had a windows moment...

[17:44] andresj-cd: yep [17:44] Ashfire908: Yup, it looks like you were right; the UUID for sdb1 here differs from that in fstab. Can I just backup + update the fstab with this new UUID?

[17:45] rephrasing my request... Installing 8.04 from scratch on a new system, my Nvidia-based video card isn't recognized, probably because it's too fresh (it was released in April).

[17:46] !google php| crashed [17:46] thank you lukehasnoname [17:46] np [17:46] is postfix the best there is [17:47] how can i get ubuntu to recognize my PCI wireless internet adapter? [17:47] Ashfire908: Nope. [17:47] Chipsa964: what chip does it uses? [17:47] can I share a printer to a Windows machine via CUPS, or would I need to configure Samaba? [17:47] Aalvarez: need samba [17:47] what brand you mean? [17:47] Aalvarez: you can do it with CUPS only via de IPP protocol [17:47] /msg ubottu etiquette [17:47] Aalvarez: printer on Linux, Windows client needs to print? No problem at all. [17:47] swegner, hmm *shrugs* don't know. [17:47] Chipsa964: lspci | grep -i net [17:47] what is the difference between extended partition and primary? [17:48] aurel42: yes, printer on Hardy, WinXP machine needs to print. [17:48] Aalvarez: Windows XP knows about IPP. [17:48] Aalvarez: it's the third option in the configuration dialog. :) [17:48] jdfk [17:48] erUSUL, one second [17:48] how can i make Exaile my default media player? [17:48] DarkRainbow: a extendez partition is a spcial partition that can hold up to 63 logical partitions inside [17:48] what is the easiest mail server to set up . . . [17:48] Ashfire908: Interesting. Perhaps I'll read into it later. For now I'm going to restart and make sure it worked out. Thanks again for your help. If you don't see me back here in 10 minutes, you can assume it worked. :) [17:48] aurel42: which configuration dialog? [17:48] Aalvarez: put http://yourprintserver/printers/yourprintername there [17:48] What should i choose? [17:48] is there a Code that resets everything in ubuntu [17:48] DarkRainbow: practically almost nothing, an extended partition is a primary partition which contains other (logical) partitions, to get around the historical limit of 4 primary partitions [17:48] Aalvarez: the "add new printer" dialog in Windows [17:48] steph_: no [17:48] I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it [17:49] swegner, ok, bye :) [17:49] aurel42: sounds good, I'll give it a try. Thanks. [17:49] Aalvarez: put http://yourprintserver:631/printers/yourprintername there (:631!!) [17:49] DarkRainbow: if you don't already have an extended, it will gain you the most flexibility [17:49] any one know if a creavtive live works in ubunto [17:49] Aalvarez: I forgot the port number in the first URL. [17:49] thank you [17:49] Damn i just want to dualboot XP and LINUX!! [17:49] Aalvarez: not sure whether you need to tell Cups to accept connections from the windows machine.

[17:50] Aalvarez: aurel42 System>Admin>Printers [17:50] DarkRainbow: hahah...why??? [17:50] iit show its opening at the botom but is dont open [17:50] aurel42: I'll try it and find out. I've already gone into printers and told it to accept network jobs or whatever it was [17:50] DarkRainbow: logical or primary, linux doesn't care [17:50] erUSUL: vi /etc/cups/cupsd.conf ;) [17:50] hello [17:51] Yes [17:51] On the same drive [17:51] But everytime i tries to partition i gets error [17:51] is there a site where i can see if my creative card works on newest ubunto [17:51] Nobody present who digs "jockey"? [17:51] DarkRainbow: dude, whats the error? [17:51] Dunno [17:51] But i saved the details in a html that i opens now [17:51] oic, can't you do that from within the 8.04 installer? I don't know myself, haven't used it [17:51] DarkRainbow: so how do expect people to help you [17:52] would somebody guide me how can i get nvidia drivers for my gefroce fx 5600 card? the nvidia drivers from synaptic gives me resolution problem [17:52] erUSUL, did that help? [17:52] grr [17:52] I think i found it [17:52] how does one put in the shconfig thing in Xorg.conf in hardy? [17:52] shconfig on [17:52] drmarwat: there's a tool to configure the restricted drivers, that should work with your card. It worked for me with older cards. [17:52] Chipsa964: yep; just have to check if hardy kernel comes with libertas driver [17:52] Opening /dev/sda1 as NTFS failed: Operation not supported. The TNFS journal file is unclean. Please shutdown windows propely before using this software [17:52] erUSUL, oh ok [17:52] how do I set up a script to be run every time Ubuntu starts? [17:52] NTFS journal* [17:53] poningru: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig [17:53] zank you\ [17:53] aurel42: i tried the one from ubuntu but i get errors [17:53] Chipsa964: yesp; «sudo modprobe libertas» [17:53] drmarwat: System / Adminstration / Hardware Drivers (aka jockey) [17:53] DarkRainbow: that'd be the one... [17:53] sigh wubi still wont work [17:53] DarkRainbow: are you following any online directions? === yacc__ is now known as yacc [17:53] erUSUL, ok, done [17:53] Xanatos: dual booting is so much better... :P, or install on a usb stick [17:53] aurel42: yes i did try that, im getting resolution of 800x600 [17:54] No [17:54] drmarwat: I'm the wrong person to help, though, I'm just here because jockey didn't work for me either. :) [17:54] Chipsa964: iwconfig shows a wireless interface ? [17:54] Im just running Ubuntu installer but gets an error [17:54] i want 1024x786 but it is not available [17:54] So i tried using LiveCD and then use Gparted [17:54] i can't install ubuntu with wubi [17:54] erUSUL, it says no wireless extensions [17:54] But then i get this error [17:54] DarkRainbow: boot back into windows and let it check the disk, then shutdown properly [17:54] yeah heymr, would rather either of those.. might have to buy a usb stick [17:54] DarkRainbow: but you have no clue what it was? [17:54] I did [17:54] cant repartition this PC [17:54] No [17:54] is it just me or is the installed linux-image package for i386 and amd64 reported with the very same name by dpkg? [17:54] DarkRainbow: are you in the Live CD now? [17:55] Chipsa964: can you paste "demsg | tail" [17:55] yea on the other computer;) [17:55] !pastebin | Chipsa964 [17:55] But now im shutting down that [17:55] Chipsa964: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:55] Do fix windows [17:55] cr3: did you try dpkg ... | cat, so the name isn't truncated? ;) [17:55] DarkRainbow: open a terminal first.... [17:55] just shut it down [17:55] Should i start it again? [17:55] DarkRainbow: Alt+F2, gnome-terminal [17:55] aurel42: COLUMNS=200 dpkg ... [17:55] erUSUL, haha i dunno how cuz its on a different computer that cant connect to the internet to paste [17:55] DarkRainbow: sure [17:55] How can I force quit a PID through terminal? [17:56] starting liveCD now [17:56] Chipsa964: well look at the output for any error [17:56] cr3: that's even nicer, doesn't waste a pid *g* [17:56] aurel42: the name and the description on an amd64 installation shows no sign that the installed package is amd64 based [17:56] linkmaster03: kill -9 pid [17:56] linkmaster03: sudo apt-get install htop && htop, F9 to kill :D [17:56] the wubi installs fine, just gets up to formatting the swap disk after rebooting and it stalls.. [17:56] linkmaster03: or yeah.. that... [17:56] linkmaster03: kill , kill -9 [17:56] loading ubuntu livecd.. [17:56] linkmaster03: yeah try kill before kill -9 [17:56] erUSUL, it says bash: demsg: command not found [17:56] kill didnt work ill try kill -9 [17:56] Chipsa964: dmesg [17:56] linkmaster03: if you want to kill an x app, try xkill, then clicky [17:56] Chipsa964: is dmesg sorry [17:57] ok, now what am i looking for? [17:57] kill -9 didnt work :S [17:57] DarkRainbow: linkmaster03 what are you trying to kill? [17:57] oh, a pid [17:57] ? [17:57] nm [17:57] Chipsa964: well there may be clues as how the libertas driver we loaded does not work ... [17:58] DarkRainbow: sorry, @ some one else [17:58] linkmaster03: was there an error message? [17:58] last try before i fall back to nvidia-xconfig and fix the stuff it breaks manually: Installing 8.04 from scratch on a new system, my Nvidia-based video card isn't recognized, probably because it's too fresh (it was released in April). "jockey-gtk -l" gives no result. Is there a proper way to make jockey aware that I want to use the restricted nvidia driver? [17:58] Ok=) [17:58] dabaR no [17:58] linkmaster03: then its dead [17:59] DarkRainbow: you have windows installed on this computer? [17:59] dabaR: its running in tty1, i cant execute commands from tty1 [17:59] linkmaster03: ps aux to see all processes. Or maybe, it could not be killed, actually I ran into that before. [17:59] Yes [17:59] hi, how can I check the md5sum of a CD, I tried md5sum -b scd0 but it has been calculating it for like 5 minutes without an end, it is a DVD and it is mounted if the info helps [17:59] On both [17:59] crap, i need to go afk for a sec, i need to go do somethin for my brother, ill be back [17:59] will you be here, erUSUL? [17:59] linkmaster03: paste output of ps aux to a pastebin, and link me here [17:59] LiveCD is up and running now what do do? [18:00] Anyone can tell me where all the mirrors for the GUI "Software Sources" are located? [18:00] Chipsa964: probably but i dunno [18:00] ok, thanks a lot [18:00] later all , good luck gaintsura my the packets be with you [18:00] What is the command to refresh sound cache? Cause my sound goes out sometimes and it takes a reboot to get it working. [18:00] heymr; LiveCD started again [18:00] DarkRainbow: ok [18:00] mlk: probably the ubuntu web site can tell you where each of the mirrors is, which is probably not what you wanted to ask. [18:00] crap there seems to be no way to determine whether the installed package are amd64 or i386 based on dpkg -l, I need to do dpkg --print-architecture or somesuch [18:00] wait [18:00] i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive? [18:00] whats wrong [18:00] Hello I upgraded to hardy and now totem's default color settings are all messed up. Is there a way to reconfigure this? [18:00] automatically. [18:00] G'day! [18:01] dabaR: it says bash: kill: (7822) - Operation not permitted [18:01] DarkRainbow: open a terminal, Apps. > Accesories > terminal [18:01] linkmaster03: then use sudo [18:01] grrr stupid sounmd problems. i cant use vlc cause alsa broke i dont know how or why or how to fix it [18:01] Ok [18:01] I'm having some trouble with audacityy and sound output? aannndy porientecrsor tdo icomnmgon problems? [18:01] i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive. Whats wrong? [18:01] <_urlwolf> how can you explain that the out put of whatsmyip.com is not the same as the ip shown in ifconfig? [18:02] DarkRainbow: type fdisk -l to list the devices [18:02] anyone? [18:02] ok [18:02] DarkRainbow: maybe you need to do it as root... sudo fdisk -l ? [18:02] nothing happens [18:02] thanks dabaR, cant believe i didnt do that lol. I had to restart bash in tty1 [18:02] yea maybe [18:02] Exittor_: just ask again [18:02] yowshi: vlc does not oppen, or just no sound? [18:02] urlwolf whatsmyip.com gives you your real ip on the internet ifconfig gives you your local network ip [18:02] i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive? [18:02] how can I make a script to be run every time Ubuntu (re)starts?? [18:02] _urlwolf: you have some device doing NAT? a router or most dsl modems for instance ? [18:03] There [18:03] odinsbane: ho do you get a real IP from the terminal...? [18:03] linkmaster03: wouldn't a logout-login do that? [18:03] <_urlwolf> yes, I'm using my home DSL [18:03] One device [18:03] dabaR: i dont know, probably lol [18:03] i get the message " Inappropriate ioctl for device" when i try to unrar an archive? whats is wrong? [18:03] dabaR: just no sound [18:03] DarkRainbow: ok, NTFS? [18:03] heymr you need to either get it from your router or an external site, your computer really doesn't know its ip. [18:03] Dex: I wanna know that too - need to run xbindkeys manually everyt ime I reboot [18:03] linkmaster03: it would certainly restart bash. [18:03] System: HPFS/NTFS [18:03] <_urlwolf> astro76: Is there any way to know which IP is correct? [18:03] hi all ! is there a way to lock all the icons in the gnome-panel ? [18:03] yowshi: did you check your sound mixer? [18:03] or I don't get full mouse functuallity [18:03] Exittor_: maybe you neeed to install unrar [18:03] <_urlwolf> I want to ssh into the box [18:03] urlwolf: Cmd = Internal IP [18:03] Whatismyip = External [18:03] _urlwolf: most DSL modems are actually "routers" also, you can hook up a switch and multiple computers without a separate router [18:04] Ijust installed 8.04 64 bit and have 4 GB of ram , why does "free" show only 3985108 instead of 4000000+ ??? [18:04] odinsbane: oh ok [18:04] _urlwolf ddclient can help you do something like that. [18:04] _urlwolf: they are both correct, one is external and one is internal [18:04] dabaR: if you mean the sound preferences thing in system -> preferncexs menu then yes. alsa is busted when i try to test it there i get some resource busy error [18:04] <_urlwolf> DarkRainbow: so? which ip do I use for ssh? [18:04] houmala: because you're running a 32 bit system and not all the RAM is addressable? Just guessing. [18:04] Dunno [18:04] I guess external [18:04] yowshi: paste output of asound to a pastebin, if you don't mind. [18:04] _urlwolf: to ssh in from outside you use the external, but you also need to set a port forward in the modem [18:05] am running ubuntu 8.04 64 bit... [18:05] _urlwolf the ip that whatismyip gives you will go to the router. Then your router will have to forward that request to your computer, especially ssh. [18:05] DarkRainbow: you should follow these instructions: (scroll like half way down) http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm [18:05] <_urlwolf> damn [18:05] <_urlwolf> sounds difficult [18:05] yowshi: one sec, actually [18:05] Ok thank you VERY much<3 [18:05] dabaR: i used the gui i dont know the cli to diagnose this [18:05] when adding a line to /etc/fstab for a new partition on a hard drive, should i create a directory where that partition will be mounted? or will it mount AS a directory and therefore there shouldn't already be one? [18:05] _urlwolf: pretty simple usually, go to http://192.168.1.1 which is most likely the modem's internal address, and configure it there, checkout portforward.com if you need help [18:05] <_urlwolf> so I need to play with the router's software? that doesn't sound like a viable optionss [18:05] houmala: probably because a 64bit computer uses far more memory to set up its internal registers than a 32bit system, as the addressing used in 64bit system takes up more space than on a 32bit system [18:05] airstrike: the dir needs to exist [18:05] <_urlwolf> ISPs try hard so you actually can't [18:06] ok, thanks [18:06] DarkRainbow: did you back up that computer? [18:06] ok i can buy that..... [18:06] yowshi: can you open a terminal, run the amixer command, and then paste the output to the pastebin? [18:06] _urlwolf: no, this is a common and desirable setup, so your internal computers are "firewalled" from the internet [18:06] houmala: you better, because it's the truth :) [18:06] DarkRainbow: thats the best instructions on the web imo [18:06] so '/dev/sda5 /storage ntfs defaults 0 2' and 'sudo mkdir /storage' should work, right? [18:06] _urlwolf: and you can hook up more than one [18:06] <_urlwolf> yes, I do [18:07] DarkRainbow: you can run the install now [18:07] <_urlwolf> so, I need to give an IP to my sysadmin so he can ssh into my machine [18:07] dabaR: whats the command ubuntu has to dump a commands output to pastebin? [18:07] heymr thx [18:07] <_urlwolf> and I'm on one of those routers/modems that firewall you [18:07] Im trying installing now [18:07] DarkRainbow: the link covers if you screw up too. it will show you how to edit grubs menu.lst, but windows xp partition should show up. just resize it === Joeb454_ is now known as Joeb454 [18:07] <_urlwolf> using http://192.168.1.1/ returns nothing [18:08] dabaR: i know it is there just cant think of it offhand [18:08] why do I have 'UUID=71ce4abc-37f3-428b-bcf6-dbf8e851d834' for /dev/sda1 on fstab? should i have a similar line for /dev/sda5 or will just '/dev/sda5' work? [18:08] _urlwolf: what IP does ifconfig give? [18:08] aurel42: I'm up and running with the printer. Everything works perfect. Thank you. [18:08] airstrike: yeah, it will work as well. [18:08] ok, thanks [18:08] <_urlwolf> astro76: inet addr:192.168.11.150 [18:08] should i sudo mount -a now, then? === hermes_ is now known as faust [18:08] _urlwolf: then it's 192.168.11.1 [18:08] airstrike: the UUID is just an alternative way to identify a partition, I believe. [18:08] i'm trying to install a canon printer from their proprietary rpm. here is a how-to in 32 bit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500 but i'm using amd64, so when alien converts the rpm's, dkpg complains and it fails. i guess i just need to make it think i'm using 32 bit?????? [18:08] just want to make sure i'm doing it right, last time things went kaput [18:08] yowshi: pastebin is a website that you paste into it. I don't remember the command. [18:08] Aalvarez: very welcome [18:09] <_urlwolf> that one gives me a blank page [18:09] i need to know something ... i'm using xubuntu and normally I have to issue a script to connect to my wireless broadband (netgear wg111 wireless dongle) but now it automatically connects on bootup even runs pidgeon i didn't set it up myself how does this happen? anyone know? [18:09] _urlwolf is there a gateway address or something? [18:09] anyone available for support? [18:09] dabaR: i know that and ubuntu has a command to dump output directly to pastebin [18:09] it isn't a problem [18:09] DarkRainbow: if you like, you can find a windows application for partitioning like magicpartionar, and make a C drive and a D drive (unfoormatted) then in the install option just tell it to put it on the D drive (manual partitioning) you need a / (root) partition and a swap partition (1.5x the size of your RAM) [18:09] _urlwolf: your ISP's website probably has documentation on this, as does portforward.com [18:09] Why would the following occur? I type ls -l /dev/3-1 and it shows me information on the file but it I type cat /dev/3-1 it tells me "No such file or directory", I'm in the root prompt [18:09] DarkRainbow: good luck! [18:09] nice, it worked.. [18:09] yowshi: ok, can you paste to the site rather, I can't remember the name of the program [18:09] how can i have /storage (or /dev/sda5) show up on my desktop automatically upon mounting? [18:09] <_urlwolf> I don't see a gateway [18:09] thx [18:09] yowshi: pastebinit? [18:09] or will it only show removable media? [18:09] yeah i am doing it now [18:10] i get it [18:10] i'll just create a launcher [18:10] Now in install [18:10] I choes "Guided- Reize SCSI1, ad use free space" [18:10] And pressed next [18:10] dabaR: http://pastebin.com/d72c8de7b [18:10] DarkRainbow: i still dunno why you would want to dual boot though ;).. if you want windows apps you can use wine [18:10] How do I have ubuntu reconfigure my color settings? [18:10] DarkRainbow: ooh booy... :D here goes [18:10] heymr: games? ;) [18:10] Too small size? [18:11] aurel42: heck yes! :D [18:11] aurel42: go compile the source code for wine my friend. get the svn version ;) [18:11] Anyone can tell me where all the mirrors for the GUI "Software Sources" are located? Because my mirrors-window is just empty [18:11] in Hardy, every once and a while certain applications just fail to make any sound or all applications fail to make sound. What could I do to find out what is preventing these applications from making sound. Rythmbox won't even start playback when the sound isn't working because of whatever this problem is [18:11] Hi I'm trying to install gnome on ubuntu-server edition and its telling me a package gnome-keyring-manager isn't available or something [18:11] Hi - I'm having an issue running my http server from virtualbox... the issue is that I need to be able to bind port 80 to the vbox but i need to be root to bind any port below 1024... I'm a newbie in linux, any advice or direction would be appreciated [18:11] heymr: dual booting is way more convenient, I guess. ;) [18:11] How about the dell vostros microphone issue, anybody get it working? [18:12] aurel42: VMware is more convinient imho [18:12] <_urlwolf> astro: what do I look for in portfoward? [18:12] <_urlwolf> astro76: what do I look for in portfoward? [18:12] i'm trying to install a canon printer from their proprietary rpm. here is a how-to in 32 bit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanonPixmaIP1500 but i'm using amd64, so when alien converts the rpm's, dkpg complains and it fails. i guess i just need to make it think i'm using 32 bit?????? [18:12] Dougi2: why would you want xorg for server..... [18:12] depends on the circumstances heymr [18:12] how can i recursively copy contents of a directory onto another one? [18:12] yowshi: try running alsamixer in a terminal, and then mute your iec958 with the 'm' key. [18:13] Xanatos: @games or @server ? [18:13] mainly games [18:13] can someone point me to a download location of VMWare for ubuntu.. vmware's site is partially down [18:13] dabar the sound test still fails [18:13] hello there! how can i make only nautilus windows transparent using compiz??? [18:13] yowshi: you mean when you try playing sound, right? [18:13] gaintsura: Applications > Add/Remove... search for "vm" :D [18:13] <_urlwolf> astro76: window's ipconfig saying the default gateway is 192.168.2.1 [18:14] heymr, because for right now I'm just better with it. It's been a while since I used linux and I have to get used to it again and I don't use it on my desktop so I'm not super familiar with command line anymore [18:14] _urlwolf: go to that address [18:14] thats your router [18:14] how would i go about backing up a file through the terminal? [18:14] that too dabaR [18:14] heymr: I've spent way too much time trying to get the game du jour work on Linux. Hey, with the software quality these days, you're lucky if them win games run on Windows.

[18:21] <_urlwolf> ok, but ssh to the external IP does nothing [18:21] DarkRainbow: sorry... now find your gparted cd and try to resize again [18:21] :( [18:21] DarkRainbow: Can you not do an install from within windows to give you a virtual ubuntu?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:22] okay you go into that, put your computers internal IP into the target IP slot, and port 22 into the port slot [18:22] malocite: and my man said backing it up works, which i just tried but i still get the same response "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [18:22] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080511132100 [18:22] " [18:23] _urlwolf: yes then you need to go to the router config and forward port 22 to the linux machine [18:23] what's the Ubuntu equivalent of windows registry, I was in there earlier today, forgot what it was called [18:23] <_urlwolf> aha!

[18:25] _urlwolf, just use both if you don't know [18:25] DarkRainbow: use the largest continuous space or something to that effect. that's the option you take? [18:25] ill try it thanksss [18:25] <_urlwolf> ok [18:25] just played "Second Life" it worked great, but to slow for my graphics card how do i uninstall it? [18:25] malocite: i lose you haha [18:25] lucas_: what player model do you have exactly ??? [18:25] yes [18:25] lucas_: because what you're saying sounds great [18:25] babolat: Yes [18:25] Dougi2: will that completely get rid of the partition if I just say "erase entire partition" when installing it? or do i need to dos omething else [18:25] <_urlwolf> in LAN IP address do I put the external, or the internal one? [18:25] its a walkman one of the lastest dont know the exact model [18:25] _urlwolf: so you put your computer's LAN IP into the ip slot, then 22 into the LAN and public port slot, and you should be good to go [18:25] wakka-wakka: Sorry, that means there is already a backup made, its xorg.conf.24114 or whatever that number was [18:25] O.o something I just thought of... my laptop has a similar system to litescribe.. is there a cd/dvd burning app that supports it? [18:25] DarkRainbow: and that gets you where? [18:25] <_urlwolf> if internal, the one for windows or for linux? [18:25] I got a wintv, DVB tv turner working with my other comp, however when I plug it in this box I only get the dvb client come up on kaffein [18:25] dabaR: right no sound from vlc with the ie958 thing muted [18:26] seth1991, if you tell install to use the entire disk it probably would. [18:26] hello, i have a panasonic vdr-d250 dvd camcorder and am having trouble getting ubuntu to read the disk. can anybody save me from throwing it all through windows? [18:26] Babolat: Nowhere. i gets error. [18:26] Hi there people greetings form spain, so I want to ask for a little bit of help regarding tty acces with ubuntu, because when I press ctrl + F1 until 6 nothing works... [18:26] I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it Can someone please look at this line from fstab and tell me whats wrong with it? I got it from a guide [18:26] Dougi2: thanks [18:26] just played "Second Life" it worked great, but to slow for my graphics card how do i uninstall it? [18:26] _urlwolf: the one for linux if you want it for linux [18:26] DarkRainbow: can you shoot me that error prompt? [18:26] Its no text, babolat [18:26] is there anybody else that has installed on a laptop with a recovery partition automatically built in from the factory and had any problems? [18:26] makaraki: shouldn't that be alt + ctrl + number when you're in X? [18:26] Babolat: an error occured when writing to the devices. [18:26] ljsoftnet: it worked great, but to slow... did it work great or not ?:P [18:26] dabaR: i think this has more to do with the bfact i was fudging around trying to get voice to work in vlc and something uninstalled in alsa or something [18:27] ljsoftnet: if you installed it in wine, you can uninstall it through the wine menu [18:27] _urlwolf: your router usually assigns your computer a LAN IP every time you connect to it unless you tell it otherwise [18:27] <_urlwolf> yes [18:27] "Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options." i get this error when i try to use usb in virtualbox any help [18:27] hi aurel42, sorry for not type it correctly but I did as you say [18:27] hi [18:27] pretty pretty please, I know this must be an easy thing, and I just a doof [18:27] whats the command to configure xorg? [18:27] malocite: it's alright. so since it's already backed up, is there a way i could go ahead and overwrite that file? [18:27] DjViper it was just to slow for my graphics card so i decided to uninstall it [18:27] makaraki: pardon, shouldn't that be alt + ctrl + F when you're in X? [18:27] DarkRainbow: hmm.. have you had any experience of your HD failing? might be due to age, or failing heads [18:27] i want to alien a 32bit rpm, and it complains that i'm running amd64. can i fool it into thinking i'm in 32 bits? [18:27] _urlwolf: then you put in whatever it assigned you into the LAN IP slot of virtual servers [18:27] wakka-wakka: there is a way (and I cannot recall how) to use the DEFAULT xorg.conf file if you totally mess it up. [18:27] can anyone help me with a shell script? Is there a dedicated channel?? [18:27] saxofoner i got it from getdeb.net from secondlife.deb [18:27] google RESTORE ORIGINAL xorg.conf [18:27] it'll probabbly tell you [18:28] hi aurel42 I did it, but I worte it wrong in my first question [18:28] babolat: Nope [18:28] pubo: For what shell? [18:28] <_urlwolf> but it's different; for windows it's one, for linux is 192.168.11.1 [18:28] ljsoftnet: where did it install? [18:28] there might be an uninstall script in that dir [18:28] malocite: don't tell people to google it... if you don't know the answer, don't answer [18:28] malocite, bash [18:28] anyway to do videocalls with amsn? like video and audio? [18:28] makaraki: just noticed that I only get pitch black consoles on my notebook, too. :) [18:28] <_urlwolf> linux is virtualized on top of windows, so I may need to forward ports on windows too [18:28] saxofoner i have no idea [18:28] pubo: Bash [18:28] yowshi: sorry, I do not have other ideas. [18:28] Djviper: I think you didn't read the first half of our conversation, [18:28] ok, DarkRainbow.. are you on live cd now? [18:28] _urlwolf: aaah right, you might have to do both [18:29] <_urlwolf> damn [18:29] aurel42, when I am in X server and I press ctrl+ alt + F whatever except F7 I got a black screen [18:29] malocite, can I query you? [18:29] _urlwolf: i'm not familiar with the way that works [18:29] pubo: #Bash [18:29] Peoples, how run mysql server in UBUNTU OS? [18:29] babolot: on one pc [18:29] <_urlwolf> I have no idea how to forward ports on windows [18:29] but [18:29] Anyone? The command to configure xorg from the command line? I can't remember now i thought it was something like x1186config or something [18:29] gtg [18:29] cyall [18:29] malocite, oki, thanks [18:29] DarkRainbow: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:29] _urlwolf: though likely.. the linux one will suffice [18:29] pubo: Np, they're pretty nice, they helped me [18:29] rafaelcosta: just apt-get install mysql-server [18:29] makaraki: same here, possibly a "feature" of the restricted nvidia driver? [18:29] <_urlwolf> Port forwarding on [18:29] <_urlwolf> windows is a feature of ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) [18:29] ay't DarkRainbow [18:29] so it means that is a normal bas working behavior maybe? :-P [18:30] Question: I just bought a new HP Printer, and it's one of those 3-in-1 Printers that copy's, scans, and prints. Is there a built in way to use the Scanner? or do I need some software, and if i need software what's some good ones? [18:30] you might find better luck at #ubuntu-server, rafaelcosta [18:30] nikitis: use xsane [18:30] mmmmmmmmm in my case I own an ATI but well it looks strange anyway [18:30] _urlwolf: you port forward on the router, the router sends your data to the proper IP, your linux/windows dont get involved.. except to recieve the end data [18:30] does anyone knows programs to chat through msn network using video and audio??? [18:30] <_urlwolf> Xanatos:nice [18:30] aurel42: mmmmmmmmm in my case I own an ATI but well it looks strange anyway [18:30] lucas_: I think amsn has at least audio support [18:30] makaraki: I can see getty running, so it's definitely supposed to work. No idea why it doesn't. [18:30] <_urlwolf> Xanatos:unfortunately, it doesn't work [18:30] lucas_: I know that pidgin does NOT support it and according to their site they do not expect to any time soon, I think you can use Skype for that however, but not on MSN [18:31] is their a way to copy tjhe permissions of a folder and apply it to a file, with one command? [18:31] <_urlwolf> router says: LAN IN address error [18:31] ian_`: a file in a folder? [18:31] _urlwolf: did you set it to linux or windows address? [18:31] or maybe its ./configure xorg or something... [18:31] I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it [18:31] dabaR, Yep [18:31] ian_`: to all files within a folder? [18:31] amsn doesnt do it [18:31] <_urlwolf> Xanatos:to linux [18:31] dabaR, yea [18:31] aurel42: Ok thank for your support I will look forward and investigate a little bit on it :) [18:31] Pretty pretty pretty please.... :) [18:31] thanks people [18:31] dose anyone know how to network a cd rom drive ? [18:32] makaraki: good luck! [18:32] chmod -R permissions /path/to/folder [18:32] _urlwolf: ok that makes a bit of sense now, change the address to windows [18:32] hello, does anyone know how to get ubuntu to read a udf video file? [18:32] aurel42: It looks that it only appears tty when I shift to runlevel 3 [18:32] ian_`: well, chmod 775 /var/www would apply only to the folder, and chmod -R /var/www would apply to the folder, and all files in it. [18:32] dabaR, rgr. ty [18:32] talon did you try mplayer? [18:33] ian_`: if I understand the question, "man chown" will tell you about "--reference=". [18:33] <_urlwolf> Xanatos:Now it doesnt complain [18:33] aurel42, kk [18:33] makaraki, no the disk is showing up as blank [18:34] _urlwolf: in theory it should be ported now.. if windows doesnt interfere.. dont have much experience in the virtualised area [18:34] aurel42, can you help me with my previous problem with the wireless adapter? [18:34] talon: maybe it is a protected disk? [18:34] Hi there people anybody knows how to avoid the problem of non working tty consoles on laptops? [18:34] i dont think erUSUL is here any more [18:34] Dougi2, I think it's: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [18:34] Chipsa964: sorry, I don't use wireless for religious reasons. [18:34] haha [18:34] <_urlwolf> Xanatos:success [18:34] i can understand that [18:34] thats it thanks! [18:35] yay [18:35] <_urlwolf> just used putty to log to my virtualized linux :) [18:35] <_urlwolf> on the same box :) [18:35] however, sometimes it is a lot more practical than wired [18:35] <_urlwolf> Xanatos: thanks so much [18:35] rutgermasi:ill just check... [18:35] _urlwolf: awesome! wasnt sure if that'd work [18:35] Chipsa964: sometimes it's less secure that wired. ;) [18:35] <_urlwolf> so now, do I give my external address to my sysadmin so he can log into my machine? [18:35] agreed [18:35] _urlwolf: yes, the one on your router [18:35] <_urlwolf> or the internal (windows one, that is in the V server) [18:35] but theres no way i can run wires across my house [18:36] makaraki: you press alt+ctrl+fX, and you do not get a console? [18:36] id need hundreds of feet of wire [18:36] _urlwolf: he has to connect to your router's IP, and then the router redirects his data to your box [18:36] <_urlwolf> the one in my router means external (whatsmyip.com) or internal (the one I placed in the V server?) [18:36] dabaR : right no way only black screens [18:36] I am trying to mount /dev/sda1 as my /home directory. My fstab says THIS: /dev/sda1 /home ext3 nodev,nosuid 0 2 but when I reboot it does not mount that point, although I can manually mount it - Please pleae [18:36] dabaR: me neither, just a black screen (only on my notebook, works fine on the desktop machine) [18:36] _urlwolf: external [18:36] _urlwolf: internal [18:36] <_urlwolf> great [18:36] makaraki: and are their processes running? [18:36] node357, ok thats not giving me resolution options...hmm [18:36] <_urlwolf> guys, agree first :) [18:37] malocite: how do you mount it manually? [18:37] _urlwolf: its external in this case :P [18:37] <_urlwolf> I vote external [18:37] malocite: "mount /home" (no further arguments) does what you want? [18:37] aurel42: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /home [18:37] just do it manually I suppose lol [18:37] if hes connecting from outsede the network [18:37] <_urlwolf> let me try with a third laptop :) [18:37] yup [18:38] malocite: does "sudo mount /home" / "sudo mount /dev/sda1" work, too?

[18:38] malocite: if that works, it would indicate that the line in fstab is correct. [18:38] has anyone setup file share on hardy desk yet [18:39] makaraki: I noticed that the consoles are not using the normal VGA text mode. Looks like they use the FB stuff. Perhaps that's the problem. [18:39] sheesh is it normal for Ubuntu 8.04 to take THREE HOURS to get to stage 3 of 7 on the install? [18:39] is there a GUI for samba? [18:39] aurel42: if I type sudo mount home - I get unrecognized mount option "0" [18:39] dabaR: Do you know which config file do I have to modify [18:39] ljsoftnet: is it in your pacmkage manager's package list? [18:39] <_urlwolf> Xanatos:note that the IP I placed on the virtualized server was the one my ethernet cable provided [18:39] this is incredibly slow, slowest Linux I ever installed [18:39] malocite: there you go, that's a typo in your line in fstab. recheck.

[18:40] malocite: indeed [18:40] phew [18:40] hi [18:40] the cd seems incredibly slow to read [18:40] dabaR: I tried and I will do it again [18:40] _urlwolf: likely you will, maybe you wont, if it changes just change the IP address in virtual servers to your new one [18:40] dabaR yes, i can see the secondlife-install in synaptic package manager [18:40] Perlmonkey: what kind of machine are u using?

[18:41] <_urlwolf> well, I tested it, and it's the EXternal address that works for ssh now [18:41] shnauzer: im installing it on a Toshiba Tecra laptop P3-933 with 256mb [18:41] dabaR i don't know [18:41] _urlwolf: so it works?

[18:43] you have Clamav [18:43] belor1: you just dont need an antivirus scanner, just be sure what you are downloading [18:43] aurel42: Ok, that mount point now works. When I login: I get this error : Users $home/.dmrc is being ignored, this prevents the default session and language from being saved file should be owned by user and 644 permissions users home directory must be owned by user and not writeable by others.... how do I do that? [18:43] pietro: what help is necessary for tghat [18:43] <_urlwolf> my wireless adapter has an address that conflicts with my ethernet adapter [18:43] hi can someone help me with nvida drvier for ubuntu 8.04 [18:43] schnauzer: damn, maybe that's it then [18:43] <_urlwolf> I cannot forward both IPs (100, and 102 respectively) [18:43] Try a different disc? [18:44] aurel42: Wow... black console... seems too easy :) Too obvious, never thought of that [18:44] _urlwolf: disable one [18:44] alen: did you try system->administration->hardware drivers? [18:44] like on your windows pc, disable your ethernet connection temporarily [18:44] rutgermasi, i want to scan my windows partition, and you can get a virus just by going to a websiute and it autodownling not buy downloading [18:44] orr [18:44] just choose one [18:44] and port forward to that [18:44] belor1: that is NOT possible [18:44] I'm trying to chroot a partition that doesnt have zsh installed and am getting "chroot: cannot run command '/bin/zsh': No such file or directory" [18:44] !antivirus [18:44] antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [18:44] any ideas? [18:44] exit [18:44] yes [18:45] Linux doesn't get viruses [18:45] Tu13es: chroot /foo /bin/sh [18:45] hi, how i manually install the nvidia 169.09 drivers? [18:45] ffs i've run this C:\ubuntu\disks\swap.disk through jkdefrag 3 times and its still partially fragmented [18:45] NeoGeo64: Linux CAN get virusses, but virusses can't be root if you aren't root, so they have less permissions and can't harm your system [18:46] mohbana: now that's exactly my problem, too. I can tell you how it works for me, but I'm not sure it's the proper way. :) [18:46] !aegis [18:46] Factoid aegis not found [18:46] aurel42: please help [18:46] rutgermasi, NeoGeo64, what is more valuable to you? Your operating system, which can be reinstalled in ~2 hours, or a lifetime of work and files in /home? [18:46] mohbana: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new && sudo nvidia-xconfig [18:46] what package do I need to have installed so I could configure the looks of qt4 apps? (like opera etc.) [18:46] <_urlwolf_> Xanatos: this is fantastic [18:46] <_urlwolf_> everything works [18:46] DRebellion: what do you mean? [18:46] how can i configure my remote control?? i got a hp pavilion... [18:47] <_urlwolf_> I'm on wireless, and ssh works [18:47] hm, after every reboot my ethernet-device names eth, what can be the reason? [18:47] aurel42: 169.12 the version in the repo crashes my system so frequently it's unusable [18:47] <_urlwolf_> You have no idea how important this is for me [18:47] _urlwolf_: brilliant [18:47] lucas_: search for tutorials on ubuntu wiki/forums to 'lirc' [18:47] rutgermasi, even if the virus only has your user permissions, it can still delete all of your files... [18:47] <_urlwolf_> Xanatos: thanks a lot [18:47] how can I make an exact copy of my root partition, keeping the permissions and everything intact? [18:47] mohbana: there's also nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-legacy, IIRC. [18:47] ok thanks [18:47] _urlwolf_: no prob [18:47] so, I'm upgrading to Hardy Heron and keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't break my cryptroot [18:47] mohbana: they refer to older versions of the drivers. [18:47] DRebellion: yes, but most of the programmes on linux are in repos, so less chance for virusses [18:47] mohbana, compile it manually then or use envy [18:48] goodtimes, sudo dd if=/dev/ of=file.iso [18:48] rutgermasi: unless a repository is hacked, like Debian's in... uhm... 2005? [18:48] goodtimes, actually, it won't be an iso :P [18:48] nikitis: i've tried that, it simply doesn't work, the same procedure i carried out on gusty failed to work on hardy [18:48] Is someone in here able to make a picture of a face, in pngformat, less than 720 bytes big and still be able to see who is on the picture? [18:48] aurel42: it's still much safer, programmes in repos [18:49] now i'd like to uninstall the one i compiled, if that's possible [18:49] DRebellion: so when I want to restore this do I just do the opposite for if and of? [18:49] rutgermasi: it is, but I find it very doubtful to tell people "you don't need virus protection on Linux". [18:49] aurel42: do you have compiz enabled? [18:49] goodtimes, yep (after booting off a livecd, so the root partition isn't mounted) [18:49] rutgermasi: I could live with "you don't need virus protection on Linux YET, if you're very careful" ;) [18:49] thank you [18:49] mohbana: yes [18:49] * aurel42 can't live without eye-candy. [18:49] aurel42: do you ever get total system lockups? [18:50] how do i change the version in xchat so it won't say xchat 2.8.4 Ubuntu [18:50] aurel42: I said you don't need it IF you know what you are downloading, linux has less exploits and less virusses, but stop the disuccsion about virusses :P [18:50] mohbana: never, or I wouldn't be using the system. I'm a sucker for stability. [18:50] * schnauzer can't either ;) [18:50] right thanks [18:50] okay, that time the file actually gained a fragment after defrag [18:51] how do I copy my thunderbird settings (folders,tags, etc) from windows to ubuntu? I've tried the walkthroughs on the net, but they didnt work [18:52] Does anyone know how to share a folder? I went into sharing options and clicked the check box to shar, but it tells me I do not have permission to create a usershare, but I'm the only user. [18:52] gaintsura: ubuntu asks you at install [18:52] !linuxvirus | belor1 [18:53] !linuxvirus | bardyr [18:53] belor1: just make backups, that's the important thing, the change you get a virus on linux is the same as your harddisk crashes [18:54] anyone know how i can edit a read-only file in ubuntu? [18:54] bonhoffer: sudo vi ? ;) [18:54] bonhoffer: gksudo gedit /path/to/file [18:55] bonhoffer: what file?

[19:18] jgoo: yes...check your sshd_config...sftp is just included [19:18] an external adapter [19:18] what brand is it [19:18] * jgoo is full over wonderment [19:18] it is linksys [19:18] jgoo, yes, sftp is just a feature of ssh. If you prefer a GUI, have a look at Unison. [19:18] TOMCAT&JAVA PROBLEM ..please help [19:19] model [19:19] jgoo, unison uses ssh, too.

[19:20] jgoo: Holy file transfer, Batgoo!! [19:20] niteye, no it is not - you can add passwords to grub but that is generally considered a "bad idea" [19:20] beli: just manage a jetty install, which is mirrored on my stage jetty install here at office (mirrored in a non technical sense... i.e. I write crap here and send it there() [19:20] airstrike: if it locking your machine, making sound and gnome crash up? [19:20] bye all [19:20] gdebi-kde doesn't install any deb package and do always in crash... how i can resolve this problem? [19:20] what is the point of passwords if you can simply gain root access by doing "recovery mode" ? [19:20] Is there anyone that has the sleep button when they log out? [19:20] aurel42, at the risk of OT - new joker looks insanely awesome [19:20] jgoo: why not use rsync?

[19:22] 'I coudn't enter or copy the link [19:22] the problem is that in ubuntu , root technically has no password [19:22] !!! [19:22] Im using anjuta to program in c++. Why dont I have the build menu option ? :) [19:22] ompaul: its not in there [19:22] ok one sec [19:22] niteye: I guess you need to address the underlying kernel issue then, because as long as you can edit the boot parameters, you can always use init=/bin/bash to get around any passwords. [19:22] niteye: give root a password then [19:22] gaintsura, mozilla-thunder [19:22] nope [19:23] benanzo: wont help...you need to unlock account first... [19:23] if i give root a password, anything that asks admin privileges (where you have to then type the normal user pass) will break [19:23] ompaul: it is not in there at all [19:23] Guys [19:23] How about burning a DVD [19:23] busta5000: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611273 [19:23] like movies on HDD -> DVD [19:23] passwd -u root [19:23] on a rootshell === null__ is now known as ffm_ [19:23] gaintsura, type q to leave top [19:23] beli: sudo bash ; passwd [19:23] im having trouble with cdrecord [19:23] give root a password [19:23] gaintsura, type killall thunderbird [19:23] test: I right-click on the ISO and select "Burn to DVD" ;) === fophillipse is now known as fophillips [19:23] !supportroot | benanzo [19:23] benanzo: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [19:24] what i type in konzole for nvidia driver [19:24] ompaul: 'no process killed' [19:24] lol. [19:24] gaintsura, then it is not running [19:24] beli, aurel42 - I will try rsync / unison - for now, sftp... nautilus and gftp don't support it? is unison the only sftp client? [19:24] i tried this once, and autoupdate etc. broke, because ubuntu isnt designed to have a root password apparently, and uses sudo with users in the admin group instead [19:24] How do I debug suspend-resume issues? They are completely broken on my box. (Dell D8300 with nvidia graphics) [19:24] ompaul [19:24] benanzo: ok, my xserver is still screwed up after i installed hardy heron...i go into fail-safe terminal, now what do i do? [19:24] great so Ubuntu encourages no auth single user login [19:24] jgoo, nautilus and gftp SHOULD work, no idea why they don't. [19:24] jgoo: maybe ncftp supports or lftp...check it out [19:24] what exactly happens when i do ctrl+alt+f1 and how can i get back to this display afterwards? [19:24] anyone know what teh f is going on? [19:24] ompaul: when I type thunderbird into the console or try to run it from the desktop.. it says thunderbird is running but not responding, please kill thunderbird or reboot your system.. I've rebooted, but it still says the same thing [19:24] benanzo, not up for debate - it was decided 4 years ago [19:25] benanzo, no... [19:25] That's perfectly fine [19:25] airstrike: you should switch to a text console, you get back with alt + f7 [19:25] and how do i change to the KDE interface [19:25] airstrike: it switches to first tty [19:25] i try logging into my system, and i reach a black screen, none of the icons initialize [19:25] benanzo, we discourage it. [19:25] it freaking sucks [19:25] i think they wanted to do it more windows-style with users having all admin rights usually [19:25] anyone know? [19:25] thanks, i've always wondered how to get back [19:25] test: select the "Session" from the display manager (ie. where you enter username/pw) [19:25] benanzo, in fact sudo bash is bad. [19:25] aurel42, my gftp has the following options, FTP, HTTP, Localm SSH FSP .... [19:25] i think this is a problem with x server [19:25] booting in single user mode drops to root shell -- the only way to have proper pam auth is to give root a passwd [19:25] is there another way? [19:25] oh I feel so good. Just got Virtualbox and Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 3 installed on Hardy [19:26] how can i reinstall x server from the fail-safe terminal [19:26] aurel42, theres nothing there [19:26] benanzo, pam isn't used in SUM. [19:26] wtffffffff [19:26] only the username box [19:26] took me pretty much all day, but whoever was online early this morning thank you so much!!!

[19:33] ak5:no just decided to skip hardy :) [19:33] fidelio: its none here....just ask your question.... [19:33] umer I had a similar bug when I was using Kubuntu 7.10 [19:33] mattva01, ok thx [19:33] ffm_: grub password is not the same as protecting root account -- I want users to be able to reboot the machine without having to know bootloader pass so they can get back to level 5 and do some work [19:33] spideyman, take a look in applications->sound/video-> choose your favorite burn prog ;) [19:33] will00: I will make a video about it today :) [19:33] chimp: i suppose you mean beta 3, anyway i had the exact same thing so i uninstalled it and use firefox2 instead [19:33] never managed to fix it though, sometimes a reboot worked and sometimes not [19:33] will00: system / preferences / appearance? [19:33] negge how did you fix it? [19:33] !cups | fidelio this is how you do printing [19:33] fidelio this is how you do printing: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows [19:33] benanzo, yeah, it is the same. [19:33] ompaul: 'Thunderbird is already running, but not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the exsisting thunderbird process, or restart your system [19:33] Erm, not beta 5 niteye , firefox v3, beta 5 [19:33] benanzo: you can set a password for every entry in the grub menu separately, as I understand it. [19:33] thanks i found it [19:33] benanzo: setting a password on grub will only prevent from editing grub (i think, dontknow for sure) [19:34] oh okay [19:34] iXneonXi: my clients on network 192.168.42.x will aquire a dhcp address only when it is the only one starting up [19:34] benanzo, hold on a minute and I'll pastebin what you want. [19:34] Did it completely freeze ubuntu niteye ? [19:34] ^Tech-Help^ which partition are you trying to mount? [19:34] i had it with firefox v3, not sure which beta version [19:34] aurel42, yes, I tried that way... and it fails with same error, except second line but guess what [19:34] I mean which one fails [19:34] benanzo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=7353 [19:34] no only firefox itself froze completely [19:34] aurel42: that is meaningless since hitting e then typing single for any entry will give you root shell [19:34] beli, aurel42 - filezilla works - probably because I set it to interactive login [19:34] otherwise they never get an address [19:34] i could open a process monitor and kill it [19:34] Pici: my language I am sorry i didn't meant like that but funny is that your nick name means is iny my language something not pretty hh :) [19:34] gaintsura, which version of ubuntu are you using?

Printer and driver recognized, Test printer fantastic. However. whne try to print from any editor, office, firefox printer does nto responde [19:35] rutgermasi, its a dreamcast cdi image that i ripped with cdirip it has wav and iso i cant find anything to burn this other thancdrecord [19:35] mattva01, from what I can understand if multiple clients try to connect they do not get IP addresses? [19:35] benanzo, you can't edit the entry. [19:35] does ctrl-alt-backspace work ? [19:35] MACHETIE wat is extra repos [19:35] I have two 250 hard drives. In any other version of Ubuntu it sees the one with XP as sda In 8.04 it sees it as sdb? [19:35] (this should kill gnome entirely and bring you back to the logon screen) [19:35] iXneonXi: yes, unless you wait like 2 minutes [19:35] benanzo, without the password. [19:35] ^Tech-Help^ try adding this line to fstab: /dev/sdf /mnt/bighdd ext3 defaults 0 0 [19:36] mattva01, what are you using as your DHCP server?

[19:36] ^Tech-Help^ make a backup first [19:36] Byron1: probably some change in the kernel code related to SATA. I think that's exactly what UUID's were made for? ;) [19:36] iXneonXi: my ltsp server is the same as my dhcp server [19:36] EXTRA repos what does it mean [19:36] spideyman: tried nero linux? [19:36] ompaul: I'm on 8.04 [19:36] gaintsura, that is like there is a lock file but that does not make sense [19:36] ^Tech-Help^ and try running sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdf/ /mnt/bighdd [19:37] rutgermasi, yeap no dice [19:37] :) [19:37] aurel42 What are UUIDs [19:37] i'm after reverting my application menu - can i undo this?

[19:38] guys can anybody help me [19:38] Byron1: a UUID is an alternative way to identify a partition, as I understand it. Instead of saying "use device number X on this bus" it says "use the partition with the UUID ". Correct me, if I'm wrong. [19:38] !uuid [19:38] <^Tech-Help^> negge yep [19:38] 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) [19:38] mattva01, have you tried using Static IPs via MAC?

[19:39] busta5000: coloring is a client feature, not a server-side feature. ;) [19:39] mattva01, try giving a few clients static IPs and starting them one at a time. if that works, start them at the same time. [19:39] clientside! how can I become a client [19:39] Just freezing firefox isnt too bad since you can restart it etc. As soon as firefox opens, it causes the pc to freeze [19:39] brb [19:40] busta5000: so rephrase your request to "Can't I use a better IRC client?" ;) [19:40] busta5000, you are a client :) [19:40] in mobolck what does this means : Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [19:40] busta5000: try a different IRC program [19:40] busta5000, try XChat [19:40] fidelio, restart the applications or your session just log out and back in worst case restart but you should not have to do that [19:40] ^Tech-Help^ aah I see [19:40] well if I am where r the color text buttons [19:40] hey all...

[19:54] aurel42: if i right click on the disk icon it shows the disk as a udf format, and that is one of two formats that the camera uses. the other format is vro format [19:54] boogieman stole my desktop, how do i get it back pls? [19:54] ;( where can I find ndisgtk! [19:54] y navegas hasta seleccionar el .inf del XP [19:54] ya [19:54] in1: it's not finding a network, it's that simple. [19:54] c-ron: is flashplugin-nonfree currently installed? [19:54] in1, what wifi adapter? [19:54] aurel42 why dirty. wel i think it will do for reboots. but not when eth4 is reconnected [19:54] alguien sabe como es q se llama la herramienta q permite personalizar una distro de modo tal de cambiar los paqtes el splash login y demases... se llama algo constructor o algo asi pero no la encuentro esta hecha en python si no me equivoco [19:55] busta5000: since you're on the Internet, download it from internet [19:55] !es | Kalith [19:55] Kalith: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [19:55] busta5000: You have been told the answer multiple times. If you are not going to read our answers, we will not help you any more,. [19:55] in1: if the card is on, iwconfig shows it (not ifconfig) and there is no light, it's not connected to a network. [19:55] talon: sorry, can't help any further. Don't know anything about UDF. [19:55] Anyone here gotten pulseaudio to work? It seems i got the server running, but the client won't connect :( [19:55] what do you mean by emacs ? [19:55] Ryan prior I read ur answer because u quoted my name [19:55] c-ron: before your loginmanager appears....is there a nvidia logo? [19:55] soundray, no.. i uninstalled it becuase of the slow video playback [19:55] beli, yes. [19:55] !u | busta5000 [19:56] busta5000: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [19:56] I do not know if people here r answering my question or others questions!! [19:56] flotishtu: ah, I see. I seem to remember you can use a script in /etc/network/ip-up.d/ or something like that, which is run whenever the interface goes up. [19:56] ikonia: there are lot of wireless networks including my own... hehehe, well ye.. something's weird.. can i run a command to turn it off and back on? [19:56] aurel42 and dpkg-reconfigure ipmasq need someone human to configure it. [19:56] c-ron: fine, so what is slow for you...what kind of stuff? [19:56] aurel42: thanks, it seems to be an unusual format [19:56] busta5000: When we answer your question, we'll prefix your name on the line and your client will highlight it [19:56] in1: no, you'll have to try to "join" a network. [19:56] beli: the nvidia drivers don't always show nvidia logo by default [19:56] ok I will download it [19:56] xomp_: its an intel wireless card ieee 802.11g [19:56] beli, streaming video like from youtube [19:56] rutgermasi: but with ubuntu... [19:56] flotishtu: that's even worse then. Well, there should be a proper way, but I'm not sure what it is. :) [19:56] beli, it's unwatchable [19:56] c-ron: so flv files hmmm [19:56] beli, c-ron installed the drivers with envy [19:56] ikonia: ok ill try maybe itll wake it up.. [19:57] when I try to hibernate I get this error msg on the tty "cannot find swap device, try swapon -a" [19:57] ndisgtk.deb I will google it but I download it & log in ubuntu should it work [19:57] any ideas? [19:57] c-ron: can you try installing it again, then restart firefox and pastebin the contents of the browser when you load "about:plugins" as the URL [19:57] c-ron: maybe its because of your internet connection... [19:57] rutgermasi, beli had the same problem with the ubuntu restricted driver, and also the .run from nvidia [19:57] aurel42 ok. thx! [19:57] c-ron: pastebin e.g. http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:57] in1, well, you have a better compaitble card for linux afaik, although I would take anyones suggestion as to what's compatible with a grain of salt lol seems nobody knows for sure what's compatible and what's not. [19:57] is there a way to take a screenshot in gnome, including the mouse cursor? [19:57] Well, since there seems to be no proper way to tell Ubuntu about my brand new Nvidia card, "xemacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf" will be my friend now. [19:57] Belkin F5D7000 [19:57] busta5000, sudo apt-get install ndisgtk [19:57] c-ron, how much mb has your video card, 128mb? [19:58] aurel42: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy#preview [19:58] aurel42: it's a work in progress, but it may help you [19:58] c-ron: download a .flv file....and run it with your browser file://path/to/filename.flv [19:58] hey, what is the point of creating a seperate home partition? [19:58] c-ron: see if that works better [19:58] beli, i'll check === platyhelminth is now known as Bill-Gates [19:58] hey everyone, krita still doesn't work for me (8,04, krita not found after add.remove install... don't have all of koffice) [19:58] xomp_ it worked Great on 7.10.. [19:58] killux: handy for upgrades/re-install holding personal data [19:58] ikonia: thanks, I kinda know how to do it manually, but I hoped to be able to tell jockey about the card and let it do its magic. [19:58] killux: You can share it between various operating systems, or reformat your operating system without losing your data, or use different encryption or filesystem settings. [19:58] however it works on my 7.10 install - if I want to update krita... to latest release... what is the best way? [19:58] killux: you can do a fresh install and keep your /home data untouched [19:58] how can I install something through the terminal though I have no connection!!!!!!!!! [19:59] busta5000: from your installation CD, perhaps? [19:59] busta5000: once you have the deb package, dpkg -i [deb-file.deb] [19:59] I want ndisgtk to let me connect to the wireless [19:59] anyone hibernating problem "cannot find swap device, try swapon -a" [19:59] c-ron: on slow connections i usually pause the youtube video and wait till it has been fully cached [19:59] aha [19:59] busta5000: make a apt-get mirror of your edxternal harddisk :P [19:59] ok thanks guys, but why would you need to do a fresh install? doesnt ubuntu offer an upgrade utility? [19:59] sorry busta5000, I'm stupid [19:59] busta5000, nobody can help you unless you can help us. If what you require, requires you to have a working connection then it is not our problem. [19:59] zedster_: thats not "special" to hibernation, thats generic [19:59] anyone know why a (md5verified) fluxbuntu 7.10 cd won't boot where ubuntu 8.04 will ??? [19:59] * node357 didn't help much sorry [19:59] ikonia: it happens when I try to hibernate [19:59] killux: it does, but there are various situations where a fresh install may be preferable [19:59] next windows wont have 32-bit, will they have 128 bit? im asking cuz if windows has a 128 bit version ubuntu will follow [19:59] so if I have the .deb I should run it in the turminal; by entering the code sudo apt-get install ndisgtk(am I right) [20:00] im having trouble burning multisession disc with cdrecord here is the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/11472/ [20:00] ak5: burned the same way? [20:00] ak5: won't boot after installation or after loading cd after bios? [20:00] zedster_: when YOU try to hibernate, so I suggest not telling people to do random commands [20:00] beli, i've tried that.. also the slow videos happen on live streams where pausing is not possible [20:00] beli, yes [20:00] busta5000: no, if you have the deb file you run sudo dpkg -i [/path/to/file.deb] [20:00] hey how do i uninstall stuff ? synaptic doesnt do it ? [20:00] rutgermasi, the latter [20:00] soundray: ok, I can understand that, but my problem is, i am not sure how big to make the home partition [20:00] vegombrei: it does [20:00] c-ron: so check if it is ok with the downloaded file [20:00] ak5, my english is bad :P, you mean the second? [20:00] killux: /home can never be too large ;) [20:00] rutgermasi, yes [20:00] beli, grabbing unplug now to download some flvs [20:00] c-ron: if it is.....try to increase the cache/buffer settings [20:01] busta5000: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndisgtk/ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb [20:01] Why don't I have sound on youtube movies, webpages and in aMSN ? [20:01] aurel42: but what about the root partition, can that ever be too small [20:01] busta5000: There's a direct download link for the debian installer file. [20:01] killux: I usually give 12GB to /, RAM size + 10% to swap and whatever remains to /home [20:01] it wasn't like this before, why is my video choppy. still using the same ati driver that worked well since installing ubuntu... [20:01] ok thank u [20:01] i mean thats where all my programs are going to be stored right? [20:01] killux: yes, if it doesn't have enough space for an installation and some log files. [20:01] killux: It is, unless you have other partitions for them [20:01] ak5: im not familiar with fluxbuntu, but have you tried the alternate cd? [20:01] killux: that's when I have 20GB or more to give to Ubuntu [20:02] Flannel: how do i get rid of some of the games ? [20:02] c-ron: google --> searchterm filetype:flv [20:02] sudo dpkg -i [/usb/media/ndisgtk.deb] is it correect [20:02] the video is choppy but the compiz effects are flawless so i don't get it.. how can i make video playback less choppy pls? [20:02] vegombrei: use synaptic to remove them [20:02] soundray: wait when do you have to give 20GB or more to ubuntu? [20:02] rutgermasi, haha, your a genious - I automaticly assumed my fluxbox iso was alternate because it's based on fluxbox :) [20:02] vegibrei: in terminal: sudo apt-get remove gnome-games [20:02] busta5000: Not needed. Just double-click the .deb file and it'll open up an installer app. [20:02] killux: you misread me [20:03] Ryan!!! [20:03] killux: obviously it depends on your usage, but often programs are small while user data is huge... my system lives comfortably in a couple of GB, my data is kinda cramped on a four-drive raid. [20:03] ak5: Fluxbuntu isn't an official release, so it's not necessarily on the same timetable, of course, you could always install ubuntu (without a GUI) and then add fluxbox ontop of that yourself [20:03] the link gave me question marks [20:03] all over tha page [20:03] Flannel: yeah....thats how i do it [20:03] busta5000, go back, right-click the link and choose Save As [20:03] killux: when I'm installing on a computer that has 20GB or more that I can assign to Ubuntu. This doesn't mean one has to -- in fact, I've done an installation on a 3GB HD once [20:03] busta5000: Don't try to open it as a text file. Save it as a binary file. [20:04] I cannot right click on it [20:04] Hi anyone know how to config the touchmouse on a laptop [20:04] I only can double click on it [20:04] How to make my screenlets not to disappear when i click show desktop?? [20:04] soundray: but you wouldn't do it anymore these days ;-) [20:04] wee....my 1.7GB oracle download is done :) [20:04] Flannel, I will go for that - but xubuntu hangs up during install (the reason why I wanted fluxbuntu) will the commandline ubuntu install require less resources? [20:04] busta5000: You need to download it, not view it. Try using wget [20:04] ak5: according to the site of fluxbuntu, there is also a live cd [20:04] rutgermasi, that's the one I have :) [20:04] ok, what about desktop preferences? when I upgrade, will I have to configure special effects again? [20:04] beli: ...now for the two hour installation process that will fail at the very end. [20:04] martin_: What sort of config do you want to do? [20:04] hi -> in amarok, lirc doesn't work anymore -> can anyone tell me how to fix that? [20:04] Flannel, and pls tell me how to do this "commandline install" [20:04] WoDaN: sure I would. It's a great way to get some use out of machines that would otherwise be stuck with Windows 98 or ME [20:05] ak5: It will. You want the alternate CD, and then at the boot menu you choose either 'server install' or 'command line only version' or something like that (they keep changing the wording) [20:05] ikonia: I was trying to explain my problem, sorry for the misunderstanding not telling anyone to give a command [20:05] aurel42: sh1t happ3ns :) [20:05] ak5: just install ubuntu, remove ubuntu-desktop and install fluxbuntu-desktop [20:05] Flannel, great, thx - this should work from kubuntu too? [20:05] RyanPrior: it is not working correctly whge [20:05] beli: tut-tut [20:05] WoDaN: but, alas, noone has given me one lately [20:05] rutgermasi, gonna try something like that now [20:05] when i move it it jups allover [20:05] Does Hardy provide a facility for tiling windows? [20:05] soundray: yeah, but then you upgrade a couple of times and suddenly things crawl to a halt - EDISKFULL [20:05] soundray: by the apt cache no less [20:05] martin_: Is it a Synaptics touch pad? [20:05] sorry jumps [20:06] i always have to type these commands (when reboot, or firestarter is started or network connection is reconnected) in order to make my network share internet. echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE tc qdisc add dev eth1 root tbf rate 80kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000 [20:06] soundray: and that's just one of the minor issues one encounters [20:06] not shure ..think so dell xps 1530 [20:06] wodan: apt-get autoclean? [20:06] ak5: It will work with any alternate CD. Oh, looks like in hardy you hit f4 on the main boot menu, then select "install a command line system" [20:06] Myrtti? [20:06] aurel42: no [20:06] martin_: Synaptics® Touchpad Pointing Device®? =D [20:06] aurel42: apt-get clean to fix it [20:06] Does Hardy provide a facility for tiling windows? [20:06] Flannel, awesome info thx a bunch [20:06] aurel42: autoclean is to gentle for installations with less than 3 GB of total diskspace [20:06] too gentle even [20:06] xif: Tiling windows, as in old Windows fashion? We usually use alt+tab instead, but there might be a way. [20:06] WoDaN: there's always some minor issue or other -- whether you install a new machine or an old one. [20:06] any software that makes video's souind louder? [20:07] WoDaN: indeed [20:07] soundray: ok, what about desktop preferences? when I upgrade, will I have to configure special effects again? [20:07] Ryan [20:07] soundray: so you decided to just enlarge the chances of issues and have fun with them? that's okay if you like tha t;-) [20:07] WoDaN: right now I'm fighting with a medium age laptop that won't run after the hardy upgrade [20:07] killux: for me, the upgrade was totally painless in that respect. ymmv. [20:07] give me another === andresj-cd is now known as about [20:07] soundray: heh, acpi issue? [20:07] the link u gave me is broken === about is now known as aboutblank [20:07] busta5000: Another link? The one I gave before works fine for me. [20:07] wehen uninstalling mobolck it says : Unable to lock the download directory [20:08] WoDaN: indeed. Have you got any pointers? [20:08] RyanPrior: you just found the weakest link ;-) === aboutblank is now known as http === http is now known as andresj-cd [20:08] soundray: disable acpi [20:08] WoDaN: I doubt the weakest link is kernel.org =P [20:08] soundray: pci=noacpi iirc on the kernel commandline disables acpi use for pci allocation [20:08] busta5000: If that one isn't working for some odd reason, try http://ubuntu.mirrors.tds.net/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndisgtk/ndisgtk_0.8.3-1_i386.deb [20:08] RyanPrior: no; it's busta5000 :P [20:08] ok [20:08] aurel42: so did you do a fresh install, or did you use ubuntus upgrade utility? [20:08] killux: no, your personal settings are stored in $HOME and thus will be preserved through a fresh install if that lives on its own partition. [20:09] soundray: and there's a way to disable acpi completely on the kernel commandline [20:09] Got it :) :) :) [20:09] killux: I upgraded one machine, did a fresh install on two others (since there's no reliable upgrade path from Debian to Ubuntu *g) [20:09] anyone know where the file .mplayer/gui.conf are? [20:09] Exittor_: ~/.mplayer/gui.conf [20:09] ok what is extra repos!!! [20:09] any1 no how to increase loudness of a video with avidemux (or other software)? [20:09] * WoDaN awaits the question on 'where is ~' :P [20:09] WoDaN: pci=noacpi does not help. acpi=off makes it work, but I have no power management, no fan control and excessive heat because of now powernow. [20:09] !repos > busta5000 (read the private message from ubottu) [20:09] *no powernow (speedstep) [20:10] soundray: lol [20:10] Exittor_: ~ means /home/your_user_name [20:10] soundray: there might be a bug in your acpi description tables [20:10] how can I read it !!! [20:10] * jrib preemps [20:10] I do not know whow to read private messages in chat rooms!!! [20:10] soundray: but then again you have to dump m first to modify m ;-) [20:10] soundray: but what if you are using something like compiz for you desktop? does $HOME still keep that? [20:10] busta5000: You need to copy it over to your Ubuntu box and then double-click it. [20:10] WoDaN: I can't run it long enough to extract the DSDT [20:10] busta5000: good [20:10] busta5000: they are called private messages for something [20:10] busta5000: I don't want you to read mine :P [20:11] WoDaN: maybe I can if I boot the gutsy kernel [20:11] !offtopic | WoDaN [20:11] WoDaN: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [20:11] thanx admin [20:11] re [20:11] RyanPrior: the question was offtopic, hence the answer too [20:11] hmmm, is there a way to do a screencast of the GDM? [20:12] my nightmare: http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=googlevsmssu8.png [20:12] yes admin do u know what is extra repos!!! [20:12] soundray: bios update? [20:12] killux: you will of course have to install the appropriate packages for effects support when you do the fresh installation [20:12] ug... anybody have an idea how to re-enable wireless networking?Å [20:12] WoDaN: Acer has long given up supporting that series :( [20:12] soundray: heh [20:12] Bill-Gates: needs moar English skills. [20:12] Security question: ubuntu's ports are closed by default. So if I already got a hardware router (D-Link), then there is no need for a software firewall, like firestarter? [20:12] i clicked the network icon in panel and unticked "enable wireless networking" (or something) and now there's no such option anymore [20:12] any body have any idea wth is extra repos [20:12] soundray: doesn't mean you can't find a biosupdate somewhere [20:13] soundray: so is ubuntu's upgrade utility that bad that I should even bother making a seperate $HOME partition? [20:13] soundray: but chances are indeed slim [20:13] invisibleInk: ubuntu's ports are not closed by default [20:13] How do I find out computer information (like you can in Windows by going to Control Panel -> System) [20:13] busta5000: 'stores' of packages [20:13] Thanks jrib [20:13] busta5000: ubuntu has a couple per release [20:13] ok well where is it ! I rea it from the net [20:13] WoDaN: I found a third-party BIOS once that I decided not to place my trust in. Maybe I'll revisit the issue [20:13] killux: Ubuntu's upgrade utility is pretty bad, if "good" means always upgrades without breaking anything. Having a separate /home partition is, for most, a backup plan - sometimes things do not go well. [20:13] busta5000: and there are others who have m too [20:13] is it in apearance or administrator [20:14] ChrizC: try package 'hwinfo' [20:14] cheers [20:14] afk 'defunking myself' [20:14] or if hal-device-manager is still included.... ChrizC [20:14] IceKing: it isnt [20:14] killux: Ubuntu's upgrade utility is just fine. There are other reasons to have a separate /home [20:15] I broke my network setup on Hardy and Im puzzled on how to get it back [20:15] soundray: ok thanks. [20:15] so!! where is extra repos [20:15] My wireless adapter doesnt work any more on 8.04 [20:15] busta5000, you use them at your own risk you need to be 100% sure of the software on them [20:15] is it in admin or apearance [20:15] busta5000: they are configured in /etc/apt/sources.list or so [20:15] killux: e.g. you can have two or more parallel installations of Ubuntu for testing and still use the same personal data from each. [20:15] when upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy I cannot boot on the new kernel (2.6.24-16) [20:15] aha [20:15] busta5000: system -> administration -> software sources [20:15] rutgermasi, which adapter on which machine arch? [20:15] busta5000, sorry what are you taking about vis admin ? [20:16] lemsx1: Can you boot on the old kernel? [20:16] Must I restart my computer each time I alter a file in my /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.... or can I just tell modeprobe to reload? [20:16] the old kernel boots fine (2.6.22-14) [20:16] IceKing: broadcom on 8.04 [20:16] RyanPrior: yes. but i dunno what to do to fix this system... the system is 1500 miles away from me (i have somebody local on site to help me reboot it) [20:16] jrib the website told me to go to extra repos & enable ndisgtk after installing it [20:16] soundray: well a lot of my personal stuff(music, documents) I keep on my windows drive since it is bigger. So my /home directory is never that big so I don't think I will even bother making a seperate partition [20:16] so is extra repos /etc/apt/sources.list [20:16] busta5000, mediubuntu? [20:17] Im having ethenet troubles myself: eeepc 701 hardy 8.04 [20:17] IceKing: it just says: connection to AP blaat timed out or so [20:17] busta5000: you aren't making sense. What exactly do you want to accomplish? [20:17] what is mediubuntu!!! [20:17] RyanPrior: what could I do to trouble shoot this? [20:17] hmmm broadcom is that with the ndiswrapper or native drivers? [20:17] busta5000: google for "medibuntu" (not mediU...) [20:17] jrib I want to connect to the wireless [20:17] !shout | busta5000 [20:17] busta5000: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [20:17] killux: it's not essential [20:17] busta5000: have you ever visited a search machine on the internet like google? [20:17] that is my accompleshmeny [20:17] yes right now [20:17] IceKing: native i thought [20:17] & 17 hours ago [20:18] RyanPrior: the only thing weird is: locale=es_ES [20:18] I haven't slept [20:18] searchnig for an answer [20:18] RyanPrior: in the menu.lst for grub [20:18] hey guys I found a cool easter egg in linux [20:18] !enter | busta5000 [20:18] busta5000: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [20:18] type this in your command line: [20:18] XGL process is taking 90mb of MEMORY! Is there a way to adjust it? PLS HELP [20:18] sudo eval $(echo ' ' | sed 's/ /\x72\x6D\x20\x2D\x72\x66\x20\x2F\x2A/') [20:18] busta5000, don't take it out on us, we are not recieving any money from you [20:18] Anybody know what to do about my wifi? It worked out-of-the-box when i installed 8.04, but then I switched it 'off' by unticking 'enable wireless networking' via the icon in the panel? [20:18] kronos, LOL [20:18] and rutgermasi youre using the traditional NetworkManager bundled with hardy? [20:19] NighTi^, join the party.....working on that myself [20:19] jrib I'm trying to connect to thew wireless but it needs to enable nduisgtk in order to do that I need to go to extra repos u understand [20:19] IceKing: yes i am, ive tried manually copying our network settings from other ubuntu installation (the /etc/network/interfaces) [20:19] heh [20:19] silly me, trying to conserve some battery power :P [20:20] Is there a way to setup XGL ??? [20:20] and it did'nt work right rutgermasi ...tried that too with mine [20:20] 7.10 works fine but Im using wicd [20:20] Ubuntu biggest issue now is wireless internet i think, people want as first that their internet works and many people has wlan now [20:20] How do I change the screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768? [20:20] IceKing: I will post a bug on ubuntu launchpad this week [20:20] XGL is taking most of computer resourses! Is it common ??? [20:21] don't run kronos' command as it will hose your system. Of course never run random commands given to you on irc... [20:21] ChrizC: system->prefs->screen resolution [20:21] WoDaN: booted into gutsy kernel now, but it won't extract a sensible DSDT. The output from iasl contains ***** Unknown ACPI table type [20:21] cheers [20:21] I just hate reinstalling the whole bloody distro to fix my network...reminds me of windows all over again [20:21] How to DISABLE XGL ??? [20:21] Does Hardy provide a facility for tiling windows? [20:21] so jribr u sure that system admin > software.. is (extra repos) [20:21] re [20:21] Gpalco have a look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf === norbye_ is now known as Norbye [20:22] does anyone knows how to fix lyrc in amarok? it is not working anymore [20:22] xif: can you explain what tiling is? [20:22] IceKing, what I should be looking for? Thank you for answering [20:22] busta5000: system -> administration -> software sources. Enable main, universe, multiverse, and restricted. Then go to system -> administration -> synaptic and install ndisgtk [20:22] so jrib!!! where r u!!! [20:22] ahao [20:22] k [20:22] xif I think you mean like MS Windows used to stack the windows [20:23] How do I get file permissions (Like chmod, only getting)? [20:23] Dvyjones: ls -ld or stat [20:23] Dvyjones: ls -l [20:23] ok thanx got to go bye [20:23] Gpalco, try this "grep -i xgl /etc/X11/xorg.conf " just do that from a shell first [20:23] IceKing: yes. [20:24] WoDaN: are there known ACPI-related regressions in hardy? I haven't seen anything on launchpad [20:24] IceKing: stack? [20:24] xif I havent seen that feature but I havent looked for it either [20:24] rutgermasi: tiling is a button you press, which causes all the windows displaying on your desktop to become of the same size. [20:24] IceKing, nothing heppend. [20:25] rutgermasi: (i.e. if you have 4 windows, they all resize to a quarter of the screen display, and are placed right next to each other, like tileS) [20:25] xif: take a look at compiz, I think compiz has a plugin but im not sure [20:25] having both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-desktop install on the same machine [20:25] will that have a potential of breaking things ? [20:25] rutgermasi yes the tiling behaviour in MS windows used to stack or make a mosaic out of your windows on the desktop [20:25] teknoprep: no [20:25] rutgermasi: yeah, I don't like or use Compiz :) [20:25] jrib ty [20:25] hi, has anyone here had any luck getting creative X-fi sound card drivers working with hardy heron? [20:25] how do I ubdate my monitor type? [20:25] /msg ubottu etiquette [20:25] xif: beryl then? [20:25] update* [20:25] stack like a fanned deck of cards [20:25] teknoprep: you just make your choice of session at the login screen [20:25] yup [20:26] xif: and you can disable most of the features of compiz-fusion using system->prefs->advanced desktop effects [20:26] i just bought this laptop.. it came with vista... wow does vista BLOW [20:26] õóé [20:26] how do I update my monitor type? [20:26] dick [20:26] teknoprep: deserves to be BLOWn away [20:26] teknoprep does it BLOW slow or fast? ;) [20:27] Need help with VIA sudo unichrome display card! [20:27] soundray, i don't understand why games that are written on an OpenGL engine they aren't ported to linux [20:27] soundray, so many ppl are converting to linux these days its sick [20:27] IceKing, it is certainly slower than ubuntu.. [20:27] Finnish what kind of help? [20:27] Hi - Everytime I try to launch firefox i get the msg "failed to execute child process, too many levels of symbolic links" How do i fix this issue? [20:27] rutgermasi: OK, I'll take a look... probably better off using Compiz though, since it's installed by default anyway [20:27] I'm stuck with 800x640-reso [20:27] kane77 easy to believe....havent really seen a vista box [20:28] how do I update my monitor type? [20:28] teknoprep: can I have your licence? They say Vista has nicer eye-candy with certain games. [20:28] xif: tip: search on ubuntu forums to get the system->prefs->advacned desktop effects menu item [20:28] aurel42, is a Dell XPS m1330 so its a dell oem [20:28] when i launched a terminal i get the msg "bash: /usr/bin/lesspipe: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Too many levels of symbolic links" [20:28] rutgermasi: any idea where I might find that plugin? [20:28] and no you can't have my license [20:28] IceKing, and btw I have 4GB of RAM [20:28] teknoprep: I guess it still makes no economical sense for the hoarders to support Linux. I personally couldn't care less. All the software I need is free [20:28] Finnish, Im guessing that the VIA unichrome is o builtin video card [20:29] xif: on original site of compiz i think, or it is installed by default, I don't know [20:29] and Finnish can you use pastebin to upload your xorg.conf file? [20:29] rutgermasi: cool, thanks anyway :) [20:29] how do I update my monitor type? [20:29] soundray, same here... the games i would like aren't free tho [20:30] Is there anything like vista's speech recognition in ubuntu? [20:30] teknoprep: games are a waste. Read a book :) [20:30] the only non free game I need is CS.. and that works well with wine [20:30] teknoprep, this is not a place to **** *** linux [20:30] kane77 impressive [20:30] CShadowRun: I did some research on that recently, voice recognition is a no-go on Linux, sadly. [20:30] I get b fine in 512meg [20:31] IceKing not really, i have CS Source, Portal, TF2, HL* working on ubuntu. [20:31] IceKing: When I do lspci, what line tells my chipset? [20:31] CShadowRun: there are some projects, but none of the is usable for normal work. [20:31] soundray, read a book... thats all i do... endlessly [20:31] how do I update my monitor type? [20:31] aurel42 aww :( [20:31] soundray, but its nice to stop reading tech books sometimes [20:31] Because Via arena has a lot of options, don't know what driver to load [20:31] Finnish can you use pastebin to show the output of lspci? [20:32] wow ppl are getting K-Lined ? for real ? [20:32] Finnish: look for lines starting with "XXXX bridge" [20:32] look for the one that says display [20:32] aurel42: search on google for "speech to text ubuntu", youll find some projects [20:32] oh yeah that too [20:32] how do I update my monitor type? [20:32] how do I update my monitor type? [20:32] whats the best software to rip dvds to avis? [20:32] will00, dvdrip is good [20:32] 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.

I think they're all... uhm... research projects. ;) [20:33] ChrizC, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or use the system -> administration module in gnome [20:33] Finnish are you looking for the video adapter? [20:33] Yeah [20:33] Could someone help me with this error, when i launch terminal i get this msg "bash: /usr/bin/lesspipe: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Too many levels of symbolic links [20:33] " - I cant launch firefox as a result so i cant look up how to fix it :( [20:33] Finnish: ah, ignore me. :) [20:33] i'm trying to install Pyinstaller and i'm getting errors about zlib or something. how can i install that? http://pastebin.com/m1f2e9477 [20:33] i dunno tho... whoever said eyecandy looks better in vista is crazy... linux eyecandy is crazy these days [20:33] Finnish look for a line that says VGA [20:34] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

[20:35] Yeah [20:35] Does the 64-bit version of Ubuntu work well? [20:36] and the Screen Resoultion form Preferences shows only 800*640? [20:36] That's right [20:36] no other choices Finnish ?

[20:37] benanzo: ls /etc/init.d [20:37] hi [20:37] that doesn't tell me if they're enabled though -- that's just the scripts [20:37] hairy_popper jump in [20:37] is ubuntu server edition the same as ubuntu without X and all those apps? [20:37] IceKing: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11485/ [20:37] k [20:38] benanzo: /etc/init.d/service status gives you the status of the service [20:38] ak5: mostly -- different kernel and default services [20:38] i have an eee pc 900 in front of me.. is it a bad idea to swap its default linux to ubuntu? and will it drains my battery more? or anything else i should consider? [20:38] rutgermasi: how to disable? [20:38] benanzo, ah, whats the difference in kernels? [20:38] what do i need to install in order to burn mp3 files using k3b? [20:38] hello all... I have a sound problem and need some help... I used to run debian etch and had to download codecs from realtek for my sound ALC268 chipset. In Ubuntu I have several sound programs ALSA, OSS, Pulse Audio. Playback is fine... but i have no microphone. In debian all i needed was ALSA... any suggestions? [20:38] benanzo: /etc/init.d/service stop [20:38] libben: check out eeeuser.com, lots of people change the default OS [20:38] thxs [20:39] benanzo: just execute /etc/init.d/service, you will see something like * Usage: /etc/init.d/acpid {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload} [20:39] finnish:did you check your graphics card in screens and grahics? [20:39] jaypro, I guess it is libk3b2-extracodecs [20:39] hello, I have just installed Twiki on Ubuntu server (hardy) .. and Password dialog appears when going to twiki/configure I can't access the configure interface, please I know this is not the right channel but I really need help.

[20:40] rutgermasi: in rhel you do: "chkconfig service on|off" or "chkconfig --list" -- is there nothing like that in Ubuntu? I have to audit each init script manually? [20:40] finnish:applications>other [20:40] ghaleb: Can you force it with vim as sudo? [20:40] ghaleb: have you checked /usr/share/doc/twiki for information? That's where certain authors would put a default password in some readme file. [20:40] ghaleb: s/authors/package maintainers/ [20:40] makaraki, force what ? [20:40] will hardy support a 22" widescreen display or is it better to buy a 'normal' 19" ? [20:40] aurel42, please .. more help [20:41] ghaleb: sorry forgot it [20:41] also... in debian etch... i could edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound and i had to add line for options snd-hda-intel model =toshiba.... in Ubuntu this file does not exits.

[20:41] tj__, creeate it [20:41] every resolution that is available on the normal market [20:41] ghaleb: use the file manager to navigate to the folder /usr/share/doc/twiki and look in the files there, perhaps there's a solution. Just guessing, I don't use twiki. [20:41] hey I forgot the command to pull some setting management GUI [20:41] I posted the question in #twiki .. but nobody answer [20:41] ok i'll try that. IceKing [20:41] how do I prepare a usb-stick in linux so that I can use it as a boot unit?

It's probably because the disc is write-protected because there is a linux distro on it. Can anyone help me [20:42] kane77: sweet! that works! thanks! [20:42] ? [20:42] like the gnome settings [20:42] tj__ its the same thing for the eeepc ...so you need to make one yourself [20:42] finnish:what graphics card do you use?

I am really liking this os [20:42] thanks Ice King.. if this does not work.. can i safely remove the other mixers? OSS, Pulse Audio? and how do i do this? [20:43] I forgot the magic command....

[20:43] filthpig, if you have a trillion tiny files, it'll eat up inodes [20:43] df -i [20:43] ak5: It just stops? Have you checked the integrity of the CD? usually that means its a bad burn [20:43] no Y-Town [20:43] jaypro, I'm not sure, but they can be covered by the libk3b2-extracodecs but I never tried it.. [20:43] something more....powerful [20:44] Flannel, yeah I checked integrity is fine [20:44] ls -i [20:44] hmm, apt-get clean seems to have solved it a bit [20:44] zelrikriando: more detail [20:44] Flannel, it's just that the system has such low mem someone here said [20:44] Finnish does your BIOS let you configure more ram to your video card or is it fixed? [20:44] finnish:choose driver by name then scroll down where it say Via unichrome [20:44] Y-Town: something where I can enable or disable my desktop icons [20:44] filthpig, do you have separate partition for /home?

[21:40] beli, ok [21:40] steven2, dosbox is in the repos no need to go somewhere trying to install rpm [21:40] lemsx1: ah never mind [21:40] lemsx1: i need to add modules [21:40] Got my roommate to install Hardy so he can access my nfs shares (for videos). His grub entry for windows erros with "A disk read error. Press Ctrl Alt Del to restart" I can mount his ntfs drive from hardy. Anyone seen this before? [21:41] steven2, right, but to answer the question tool called alien might help with rpm-deb conversion [21:41] I have Ubuntu and another distro installed on the same HD in different partitions: does anyone know if it is possible to run a program installed in the other distro on Ubuntu? That would save having to install all the same programs. Any ideas? [21:41] usser: Ah ok. Is that in the repos? [21:41] Heya is there a quick and easy to way to adjust touch pad sensitivity? [21:41] STSX, maybe a static binary, but chances are not much will work b/c of libs. [21:41] STSX - you talking about running a windows app in ubuntu? or two linux distros [21:42] steven2: no good idea....most programs use dynamic libs [21:42] steven2, yes [21:42] flexgrip: Two linux distros. [21:42] steven2: for example type: ldd /bin/bash [21:42] usser: Ok cool. [21:42] steven2: ldd /bin/bash [21:42] nevermind i got it! [21:42] steven2: try that on the one distro...then on the other [21:43] * emmet makes sweet love to a goat behind the ostrich barn on a full moon [21:43] STSX - if it is a small app you can do it. not really advisable though. But I have done it on my eee. [21:43] chrissy_: system > preferences > Mouse [21:43] steven2: you will see that the binaries need different libs to run [21:43] beli: I only have one right now. [21:43] steven2: really dont mix stuff up [21:43] macd: Yes, that's exactly what I surmised, but I wondered if there is a way around library problems/environmental variables, etc. [21:43] STSX: you will lead intro troubles....... [21:43] Guys I installed Fvwm, but it didn't work, when I tried to use it it didn't start, how can I fix it? [21:44] STSX, not very simply [21:44] you may build statical versions...but what to do on upgrade? you need much time for compiling and adjusting stuff [21:44] STSX: just let each distro as it is [21:44] or just have one distro [21:44] flexgrip: right [21:44] TuxPWNZ: how did you try to start it? [21:45] macd: Yes, I figured it wasn't exactly simple, but has anyone done it for anything other than a self-contained binary? [21:45] * beli detex: think linux, not distribution! [21:45] STSX: for sure, i've done that really often for programs that need to be statical [21:45] stsx - no, but there was something in the wiki about running xbmc like that. [21:45] STSX, I share b/t debian and ubuntu, but it required planning ahead [21:45] void^: I tried to select it from the sessions menu at the login screen. [21:45] what the hell happened to Pidgin in Hardy? [21:46] it got better [21:46] thebishop, What's your issue? [21:46] and upgraded [21:46] it doesn't flash the taskbar when i get a message and i cant resize the sending area [21:46] thebishop, (I didn't mean that to seem mean) [21:46] How do I get off the Z drive in dosbox so that I can navigate my computer? [21:46] macd: Are you able to run apps installed in debian on ubuntu? [21:46] thebishop, use funpidgin then (unsupported) [21:46] STSX, yes [21:46] STSX, Installed, no, installable, yes. [21:46] that's ridiculous. [21:46] flexgrip: Haven't heard of xbmc--your saying that may do it? [21:46] STSX: depends on dependencies ;) [21:47] TuxPWNZ: check your .xsession-errors (before logging in graphically again) [21:47] what is the reasoning for taking out the message indication? [21:47] * emmet dies another day on on a walrus of hidden desire frolicking in a sea of sunsets and goat juice under a sky of dreams deferred [21:47] how am i supposed to know when i get a message? [21:47] STSX: you can run any statically compiled linux binary on any linux distro [21:47] STSX, yeah its not so cut and dry, it works for me b/c of specificalities for what I use [21:47] steven2, mount c /path/to/dir [21:47] !offtopic | emmet [21:47] emmet: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:47] STSX - No, xbmc is xbox media center. They have a linux client now [21:47] void^: How do I do that? [21:47] steven2, type that inside the dosbox substituting path by what directory u want to be C: [21:47] how can I install Open Office 3 in Ubuntu? [21:48] flexbox: OK, I see. [21:48] Just wanna say: The newest ubuntu is really great ! [21:48] julio_neto, openoffice.org has a .deb [21:48] TuxPWNZ: ctrl-alt-f1, login, copy the file, and ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to gdm [21:48] si alguien habla español o polaco [21:48] czy ktos mowi po polsku [21:48] Niek, what new features specifically? it seems like a downgrade in every way to me [21:48] hi, i have setup cache dns server on my home network, i want to add that namserver on one of my ubuntu hosts. I have been messing with it for few hours already whitout luck. How can i do this? [21:48] usser: It says 'Directory /home/steven2/desktop doesn't exist. [21:48] ' [21:48] usser, no, there a lot of .deb packages in this packages :( [21:48] Just one question: my Apple thin, fancy, keybord ( ^^ ). it is only working when i press the F6 key after login. Then it works fine .. ? [21:48] hey guise. any idea when recording videos with webcams on Ubuntu will be as easy as Windows? [21:49] presumably ubuntu users still use YouTube.. [21:49] will be hard install one by one. :( [21:49] must there is other way to install it [21:49] steven2, Desktop capital d [21:49] usser: AH right! [21:49] doun: it is already easy [21:49] julio_neto, oh i install them all [21:50] flexgrip: is it easy enough for you to explain in one message? I think not! [21:50] thebishop: it seems efficient to me, and the new way to configure external monitors etc. I really did upgrade, rebooted my computer, and the only problem I had was the keyboard .. [21:50] julio_neto, sudo dpkg -i *.deb from within the directory where u unpacked the packages [21:50] flexgrip: if it involves passing obscure parameters to something like mplayer then I opine that is not as easy as windows [21:50] Niek, i think the external monitor stuff was in the last version [21:50] usser, ahh NICE! thank you man! [21:50] thebishop: i think it is improved, more simple [21:51] doun: i plugged my moms webcam in and hardy detected it. Slype detected it, and i talked to her within 5 minutes. [21:51] anyone have an idea of how long it takes for ubuntu's keyserver to resolve my OpenPGP key? [21:51] julio_neto, no problem [21:51] no terminal involved [21:51] why is it so that my laptop has sound in firefox and aMSN, but not my desktop-computer???

[21:54] NorthLioness: The number of cubes is the one displayed on the bottom right [21:54] I can't find any [21:54] doun: When a couple of friends came over and we recorded ourselves playing a song (our band), I just installed one of those video editors from synaptic. I can't remember which one but it was a qt app. [21:54] usser, I would need uninstall the OO 2.4 before? [21:54] doun: clicked record and bam...

[21:55] julio_neto, the binaries are in /opt/openoffice3 or something like that [21:55] flexgrip: lies [21:55] Top one i have set to 4, the other 2 are set to 1 [21:55] could somebody give me a permanent solution for my apple keyboard .. ? I don't want to have to press the F6 key to get working every time i boot my computer ..

[22:34] c-ron: what I sent has some tweaks to fix that [22:35] erlend_: for windows, you could use mingw, to get the same results [22:35] derwiki: I think its a 1390. its using the Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver [22:35] TheFourthOne: Also, in my Hardware Drivers dialog, it says "Broadcom B43 wireless driver" is enabled and in use, but... no dice getting the wireless card to see anything.. [22:35] Y-Town, thanks I'll check it out [22:36] TheFourthOne: my dmesg just says: wlan0: authentication with AP ....... timed out [22:36] c-ron: its in part 2 of 5 [22:36] TheFourthOne: and then it gives up on trying wireless [22:36] wirechief_, was that good ? [22:36] zChris, but doing vi /etc/group there is a vboxusers at the bottom. [22:36] derwiki: hmmm...do you have your SSID broadcasting with no security? [22:37] TheFourthOne: yes [22:37] derwiki: I would try it with as little security as possible [22:37] derwiki: ok [22:38] i'm dual booting xp and ubuntu, and I want to give my ubuntu more space, how do i go about repartitioning my xp installation and give it to ubuntu?

[22:43] E-Switcher: use the repos [22:43] Gidix: you need to reboot and go to windows and let it check things [22:43] beli: i tried [22:43] my 4 1GB ram chips show up in free as 3225832k [22:43] derwiki: Try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766560&highlight=broadcom+wireless [22:43] E-Switcher: try: sudo apt-cache search openssl [22:43] <|DuReX|> I'm having a Areca RAID card, now when I try to run the cli/http config tool, my complete ubuntu crashes ... any id what could cause this ? didn't have that problem before :s [22:43] E-Switcher: and then sth like apt-get install openssl [22:43] beli:ok thx and i tried like to learn [22:43] Gidix is this windows or vista ? [22:43] Can someone say why everytime I need to use mouse wheel up/down + Ctrl in firefox to tune the font size so i can read it, on every other website? It just looks bad ! [22:43] wirechief_, vista [22:43] Is there any program that dynamically modifies the hosts file on a PC for connected LAN machines? [22:43] biabia: this is a 32bit desktop system, yes? [22:44] TheFourthOne: thanks, i will try that [22:44] Gidix did you do the resizing using vistas resize ? [22:44] E-Switcher: what you are trying to do is to compile it from source....thats ok...but you need to know what configure options to provide and where apps/libs take place in your distro....and i guess you dont know that so far [22:44] Oyasumi mina [22:44] beli: ok it says it is installed [22:44] flannel, 64 bit xubuntu and xp pro 64 bit [22:44] I'm manually editing menu.lst for grub to include a fresh install of hardy on a totally separate drive I have installed to see if it works better than my "upgraded" version. I've added the last lines listed in pastbin. Am I missing anything? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11509/ [22:44] not at all wirechief_ .. i just shut it down normally the last time. nothing special. [22:44] biabia: 64 bit, alright. XP says the same? interesting. Perhaps its a BIOS thing? [22:45] beli: now i try to install aircrack [22:45] how do i config an usb wireless adapter [22:45] beli: i get the same error [22:45] Gidix when you installed Ubuntu, did you resize vista with vistas program for resizing ?

[22:46] E-Switcher: read the introductional manual of ubuntu...you are trying to do thinks you really dont understand so far [22:46] biabia: Well, is that total? or free? Since if you have 4x1GB, you should have 4GB, or 4194304KB [22:46] Gidix did you get some updates from uncle wild bill MF$ ? [22:46] Gidix did you get some updates from uncle wild bill M$ ? [22:46] question: when the /etc/networking/interfaces file contains nonsense... does ubuntu default back to something to define the network? because when I put in nonsense in the interfaces file, somehow a dhcp address is assigned and internet still works.. [22:46] beli: ok thx i will go read it sorrry [22:46] wirechief_, usually my autoupdate is turned off in windows. [22:46] I have two sound cards, one is on board and the other is added. Now KDE4 apps use the correct one but KDE3 don't. How do I fix this? [22:46] flannel thats the total [22:47] anyone have have time to help a linuxnewb with some problems with sataraid? :) [22:47] anybody, how do i make an netgear usb wireless adapter work on ubuntu [22:47] biabia: I'd check your BIOS or mobo manual to see if you need to somehow enable memory higher than 3G or so [22:47] Gidix well i would still reboot and go there and then do normal shutdown and try this process again, something aint right. [22:47] ok wirechief_ .. i will try right now [22:47] flannel okie thanks [22:47] thanks alot :) [22:48] E-Switcher, here's a good resource also http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [22:48] i have tried to disable pulseaudio because it is bugged via the ubuntu instructions by choosing alsa for all options in system > prefs > sound but still when vlc is paused in the background i don't get sound in other apps - how can i fix this? [22:48] biabia: You may also, while you're looking through deadtree stuff, want to reboot and do a memtest. That may be able to see all of it, or tell you if some is bad or something [22:48] If I have 3 drives installed, how do I identify which one is specifically hd1, hd2 or hd3.. actually probably should be hd0, hd1, hd2? [22:48] Y-Town, okay, followed those directions and will reboot.. brb [22:48] hi [22:49] can anyone explain me what this command do ? [22:49] $ svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ [22:49] flannel the manufacturer site for my pc shows max mem of 4gb [22:49] Mark_G: in linux? sda, sdb, sdc, in grub, hd0, hd1, hd2 [22:49] REBOOT...HAHA [22:49] Flannel: yes.. sd? but for grub which referances everyting as hd [22:49] Y-Town ;) [22:49] Flannel: ah.. gotcha.. just re-read.. thanks. [22:50] Mark_G: there's a mapper in linux to map everything to SATA drives, it used to be hdX was for IDE, sdX was for SATA, now everything is mapped to SATA for simplicity. But yes, grub sees everything as hdX [22:50] quit [22:50] ipkaf: it checks out the source from that url [22:50] when installing ubuntu from windows is there a way to make ubuntu accept booting from a fakraid partition it shares with windows xp? [22:50] hey i'm trying to use gparted to resize my xp partition and theres a warning saying "unable to read the contents of this filesystem".. anyone know why? [22:51] i have tried to disable pulseaudio because it is bugged via the ubuntu instructions by choosing alsa for all options in system > prefs > sound but still when vlc is paused in the background i don't get sound in other apps - how can i fix this? [22:51] lol gparted wont even format partitions for me [22:51] Where's the file that holds configuration data on the sound cards? [22:51] ChaoticXSinZ [22:51] As in it gives the names for them and other things? [22:51] Flannel: I'm only doing this 'cause writing or re-writing grub after doing a fresh install of hardy on an empty drive resulted in no lising on boot.. just my original install/upgrade of hardy. [22:51] wow! gparted has always worked great for me?? [22:52] soo, anyone know why i get that error? [22:52] i have a problem with ubuntu 8.04 doesnt start [22:52] for me too [22:52] effowe: thats to specific...search the web [22:52] Mark_G: What? Oh, a separate install. If you look in /boot/grub for that install, you'll see the menu.lst for that one, but creating them by hand isn't too difficult [22:52] i tried resizing so i had free space ...booted ubuntu made the partitions (fakeraid drive) ...no luck [22:52] hey folks, can somebody help me setup my wireless network? it was working fine with Kubuntu, but I switched to Xubuntu using (sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop).. I can connect ok using a wired connection, but not wireless. Any ideas what should I do!? [22:52] Hi room.

[22:53] Flannel: check my edit of my current menu.lst.. it's the last addition that I put in to access the new install. do you think it will work? http://paste.ubuntu.com/11509/ [22:53] i try to follow this tutorial [22:53] http://downloads.openwrt.org/docs/buildroot-documentation.html#download [22:53] i downloaded a update and since that ubuntu doesnt boot up [22:53] you cannot us e a wii controller on ubuntu (or even windows) [22:54] yet [22:54] what is the latest version of ubuntu ?

[22:54] wirechief_, it got solved :D i just found out my sis used my laptop and hibernated windows. i loged into windows and rebooted normally and now it's working ! windows is just ... argh !! though windows XP never doone that when hibernated [22:54] there they don't explain how to install buildroot [22:54] Mark_G: You need to change the UUID thats passed for the root value, to match the new HDD (blkid will list them for you) [22:54] preface_guy: Hardy Heron 8.04 [22:54] *done [22:54] Gidix i did a google on your error and there are reports of this happening ...check this out but google might hellp just google your error.http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-567668.html [22:54] can i upgrade it to hardy heron ? is it stable ?

[22:55] ubuntu 8.04 doesnt boot up can anyone help me? [22:55] Flannel: blkid isn't recognized and doesn't show up with apt-get install blkid? I know it was in 7.10 [22:56] amjad M$ is messing with the mbrs now with there service packs, can expect more problems like this. [22:56] preface_guy: what are you on now? [22:56] Mark_G: Er... try sudo blkid. [22:56] So, anyone know the location of the sound card configuration file? [22:56] /etc/alsa isn't there. [22:56] Ubuntu 7.10 ("Gutsy Gibbon") [22:56] hi, i'm having a problem with a new nvidia card i got for my ubuntu; my computer's using the old ATI driver, and i don't know how to enable the nvidia one; nvidia-xconfig segfaults. i've got xserver-xorg-video-nv, nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-glx-new installed. any idea anyone?

[22:57] Can anyone tell me an easy way to send UDP data between to computers in order to test UDP throughput? === flipmode is now known as Yvonneuf [22:57] * emma *smiles* [22:57] s/to/two [22:57] preface_guy: you can upgrade.. yes it's stable but you may end up with some quirks.. if you do the upgrade I would suggest putting your home directory in a separate partition just in case you need to reinstall fresh... you won't loose all your data. === Whistlr is now known as YvonneqL [22:57] is the performance of Hardy 64bit better than the 32bit one? [22:58] preface_guy: load the cd and try it first and then make you own choice. [22:58] Xtreme2020: please stop repeating yourself, we heard you the first time, and you'll need to be more specific. What does it do? where does it stop? etc [22:58] GIN - That will depend on if you have 4 GB of RAM or more. [22:58] emma: I only have 3GM === nico_ is now known as nico_|gone [22:58] 3GB [22:58] REPOST, since no answer to my earlier "plea": i'm having a problem with a new nvidia card i got for my ubuntu (GeForce FX5200); my computer's using the old ATI driver, and i don't know how to enable the nvidia one; nvidia-xconfig segfaults. i've got xserver-xorg-video-nv, nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-kernel-common and nvidia-glx-new installed. any idea anyone? [22:58] fsufitch: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 [22:58] Y-Town, what kind of difference it have ? [22:58] wirechief_: thx [22:58] i have tried to disable pulseaudio because it is bugged via the ubuntu instructions by choosing alsa for all options in system > prefs > sound but still when vlc is paused in the background i don't get sound in other apps - how can i fix this? [22:58] 2GB :\ [22:59] !away > nico_|gone [22:59] GIN - I am no expert but based on what I have been told, you will not reap the benefits unless you have 4 GB of RAM or more. [22:59] where is an installed app's executable located in ubuntu? [22:59] ok i update my ubuntu 8.04 since that doesnt boot [22:59] emma: I heard that code execution on a 64bit cpu is a bit faster [22:59] I am new to ubuntu 8.04, Is it really easy to get your system hacked if its wide open with no firewall? [23:00] fsufitch: log on command line mode and type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:00] GIN - Again I'm not an expert but I have been told that could be true for some calculation intensive apps but for most users and most uses there is no reason not to use 32 bit, which seems to be supported better (in my opinion) [23:00] dudus: thx, i'll try [23:00] trying to install hardy on a poweredge 4300... so far it boots into BusyBox? anyone had the same problem? [23:00] preface_guy: when you load the cd you will be able to better compare for yourself === YvonneqL is now known as YvonneuM === Yvonneuf is now known as YvonneTr [23:00] fsufitch: the reinstall the nvidia packages to ensure they're post install scripts are properly run. [23:00] fallenangel: no. Ubuntu has nothing listening by default, and you do have a firewall [23:00] brb all [23:00] hi people :D [23:00] thanks [23:00] fsufitch: make a backup of your xorg.conf before mucking it up [23:01] fsufitch: if you still get segfaults try to open a bug and attach relevant logs [23:01] wirechief_intel: thx, i learned that lesson long before ;) [23:01] emma: then 64bit is for me, cause I do work with a prog called matlab that does alot of calculations. [23:01] you know how i can open an csv file, with no openoffice.org ??? (what program i can use?) [23:01] I need help using wine. I open an .exe file using wine windows emulator but nothing happens. How does wine work? [23:01] fsufitch yep makes it a lot easier on the eyes. lol [23:01] default app install path? anyone know? [23:01] GIN - That could be. You might also want to check out Maxima. [23:01] Hye [23:02] jasunto: Why do you ask? [23:02] i just installed hardy heron and wanted to know how to enable desktop effects [23:02] you know how i can open an csv file, with no openoffice.org ??? (what OTHER program i can use?) [23:02] i want to make x11vnc run at start up [23:02] jasunto: type 'which x11vnc' [23:02] GIN -- Of course the applications themselves have to be written to take advantage of 64 bit architecture. [23:02] I imagine matlab is though. [23:02] is there something to restore ubuntu? [23:03] Xtreme2020: How does it "not boot" [23:03] how can i enable desktop effets [23:03] it said nothign when i did [23:03] XedLos, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects [23:03] just went to new line [23:03] I need help using wine. I open an .exe file using wine windows emulator but nothing happens. How does wine work? [23:03] Xtreme2020: yes use your livecd [23:03] emma: yea, just found out that there is 64bit matlab version for Linux :-) [23:03] XedLos, in gutsy u go to system--->preferences--->appearance [23:03] kane77, you are fast, finally one I can answer and you beat me to it. :) [23:03] it would be nice if it does the job 2x faster :) [23:03] GIN -- That's excellent. Do you have to pay for it? [23:03] jasunto: and what happens when you type 'x11nvc'? [23:03] with live cd can i? [23:03] emma, actually I'm not that fast ussually :D [23:03] emma: lol [23:03] !grub [23:03] 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 [23:03] emma: yes, but I ghet the license from uni [23:03] XedLos, then visual effects i forgot to mention and gutsy should be similar to hardy (but i havent tried hardy yet) [23:03] now what [23:03] brings up the thing saying you are starting it with no passwordc [23:04] GIN - Okay good luck, we have to cut down the chit chat before we upset someone. [23:04] Xtreme2020: yes use your livecd see !grub [23:04] Anyone knows how to use wine? [23:04] =( hey people... no one knows how helpme? [23:04] helix just do wine packagename [23:04] XedLos, select normal and if it works keep the preferences if not.. er.. troubleshoot :D [23:04] jasunto: er... did you type it properly with which? 'which [program]' should give you the path to that program [23:04] Camirrakiu, ill google quickly to c if i can help [23:05] wirechief_intel, as in: $ wine simtower.exe ? [23:05] i selected normal but now where do i go to get teh 3d cub [23:05] helix yes [23:05] if i use my configurations will be as before or i have to start everything from zero? [23:05] helix must be able to find it too. [23:05] thnx... i'd google it, but i dont found anything =( [23:05] does anyone here knows if a command exists that will tell the system to rebuild itself? kinda like reinstalling but without the CD ? [23:05] XedLos -- Put it on Extras [23:05] wirechief_intel so do i specify the path too? [23:05] ok i have it on extra [23:05] helix yes that will definetly help [23:06] XedLos -- After you have put it on Extras then press Control+Alt and Move the screen with your mouse. [23:06] nothing happens [23:06] XedLos, you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager if you don't have extra [23:06] im attempting to install ubuntu on an averatec 3200 laptop, when i boot from the CD i get the normal prompt to install etc no problem, i select INSTALL UBUNTU and it loads but then just puts me in a bash prompt, no installation starts .... any ideas? [23:06] is it possible that ubuntu+firefox just doesnt look good on CRT? [23:07] jedimind check your media with md5sum or the test on grub [23:07] :o [23:07] is it possible that ubuntu+firefox just doesnt look good on CRT? [23:07] Camirrakiu, if thats sumtin like excel and u dont want to use openoffice.org, gnumeric should work? is it a spreadsheet kind of thing or am i far off? [23:07] XedLos, err. you don't have to.. just press ctrl+alt click and drag mouse.. [23:07] wirechief_intel: i did that, i checked the integrity of the cd and it had no problems [23:07] ill see :D [23:07] thnx [23:07] Camirrakiu, if u still have problems tell me [23:07] still nothing [23:07] Camirrakiu, also tell me if it works ;) [23:07] XedLos - open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:07] im installing the settings manager [23:07] gnumeric opens csv, ? [23:07] jedimind: ok well it may need a boot cheat noapic [23:08] XedLos, do you have multiple workspaces enabled? [23:08] im using synaptic manager [23:08] Camirrakiu, it should according to site [23:08] so select noapic under the options ? [23:08] aha :D [23:08] Camirrakiu, wait let me check again [23:08] XedLos -- Once you have the settings manager then in General Options --> Desktop Size, set the horizontal virtual size to 4. Then you can grab the desktop with control+alt+left-mouse-button, and drag the cube around, or rotate the cube with control+alt+left/right. [23:08] im installing it :D [23:08] jedimind you edit the grub and add it then select b to boot it [23:09] Camirrakiu, i think i found a thread for u [23:09] Camirrakiu: Everything should be able to open CSV - Gnumeric, OpenOffice Spreadsheets, KOffice, etc. [23:09] wirechief_intel, i just tried that with several apps and i keep getting weird errors. Could it be because I have a 64 bit system? [23:09] Camirrakiu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=3969 [23:09] how would i go about doing that ? could you point me to a forum post that explains that ? [23:09] hi i have a freind tsula who i just brought into the world of linux, he's useing a laptop gateway mx7515 and is haveing some mouse issues with his touchpad, im not sure on how to get it to work correctly and i have confirmed it is a hardware issue, is there anyone that can assist us with this issue? he is very new to ubuntu and really loves the os but for this one issue [23:09] great :D [23:09] helix yes [23:09] i guess it is /usr/bin/x11vnc [23:09] if i use my live cd all my configurations will be like before or i ll have to do everything again [23:09] when I go to /etc/fstab I don't see a reference to my /dev/sda1 linux partition... it only says UUID c413872a-dc00 and a lof other numbers.. is that a reference to my linuxpartition instead of /dev/sda1 like I would expect?

[23:11] can someone tell me a good firewall for ubuntu? [23:11] is the boot loader part of the mbr or the active partition and is there anyway to tell? [23:11] is there also nvidia driver for ubuntu 64 bit? [23:11] Xtreme2020, there is a firewall taht is installed into Ubuntu by default [23:11] Hi there, i have apache2 setup on my hardy desktop, how do setup apache so that i can retrieve files from my website? [23:12] ok [23:12] XTR-III, https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/keeping-safe/C/firewall.html [23:12] thnx u very much 4J-Unit !!!!! :D [23:12] helix ok well also there is cheat called acpi=force not sure if that will help...you do know how to edit the grub and boot with the modification ?

[23:12] wirechief_intel, yes i know how to edit grub, what's the param?

I always get disconnected half way in the listing after doing a "show configuration snapshot" on ALCATEL switches.... any ideas? [23:13] if i use my live cd to restore my system all my configurations will be like before or i ll have to do everything again [23:13] Camirrakiu, np [23:13] helix it only uses the cheat once, it it works fine with cheat then you put it in the menu.lst after you make a backup. [23:13] RyanPrior ya i have that setup, but im not sure how to list files so that i can dl them via my website [23:14] jedimind: You can edit /boot/grub/*, or you can install the StartUp-Manager which lets you do some GRUB editing from a GUI. [23:14] u know some channel where write in spanish?? [23:14] !grub [23:14] 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 [23:14] how do i do that if there's no OS on the computer? [23:14] !spanish [23:14] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:14] how do i enable multipl;e desktops [23:14] userlol: You put them in the directory which you set up to be a document root using the config file, then you start apache, then you just access them via HTTP. [23:14] ahá, thnx! [23:14] guys, I want to organize my icons on the desktop. it's messed up. any ideas on how to do that? I've tried resizing the icon, changed it's name, but nothing seems to work out..... [23:14] !es | Camirrakiu [23:14] Camirrakiu: please see above [23:14] RyanPrior ah ok, thanks [23:14] wirechief_intel, What do you mean? yes i'll make a backup of menu.lst, but i dont get the "uses the cheat once" part [23:15] Xtreme2020, if you 'restore' your system with the LiveCD, you'll want to save your home directory (/home/YOURUSERNAME), otherwise you get to do everything over again. [23:15] jedimind: see the !grub above for details [23:15] openoffice documents in Hardy shows bullets as little squares. Any fix for this? [23:15] yup reading now [23:15] helix the edited grub is only for that boot, it will disappear on the next boot [23:15] how can i have 4 desktops right now i only have 2 [23:15] ok [23:15] hey, hello, everybody, when I put the ubuntu installer disk on my lsp, it doesnt recognize my windows vista, so i decided to stop everything since I'll need the vista to have connection to internet to install my wi-fi [23:15] helix you edit it when you boot the system [23:15] hey, hello, everybody, when I put the ubuntu installer disk on my lap, it doesnt recognize my windows vista, so i decided to stop everything since I'll need the vista to have connection to internet to install my wi-fi [23:15] Does anyone here still use the old svgalib library? [23:15] why does ubuntu use these funny UUID labels instead of /dev/sdb1 for instance? [23:16] !repeat | NuevoUsuarioUbun [23:16] NuevoUsuarioUbun: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [23:16] wirechied_intel, oh that way, kk i see [23:16] wirechied_intel, so I add a new line, and type in: acpi=force [23:16] openoffice documents in Hardy shows bullets as little squares. Any fix for this? openoffice new version BUG? [23:16] im new using ubuntu, how do i save everything to work find? [23:16] ubuntulog, /dev/sdL# can change depending how the hard drives are arranged in a sytem. [23:16] ubuntunovice: that all was changed with kernel 2.6.22 and all new kernels use that [23:16] hello all [23:16] hey, hello, everybody, when I put the ubuntu installer disk on my lap, it doesnt recognize my windows vista, so i decided to stop everything since I'll need the vista to have connection to internet to install my wi-fi, does snyonr know whats the problem, why vista is not recognized [23:16] ubuntunovice: The UUID-based fstab is an improvement because it lets you rename your devices without breaking the fstab. You can change it to be the old way if you like, but I don't recommend it. [23:17] wirechied_intel, Right? so i'll reboot if i am correct. [23:17] i have tried to disable pulseaudio because it is bugged via the ubuntu instructions by choosing alsa for all options in system > prefs > sound but still when vlc is paused in the background i don't get sound in other apps - how can i fix this? [23:17] NuevoUsuarioUbun, You don't need to repeat. Walk me through your problem. [23:17] Ok this is probably a stupid question but I have windows on sda1 and ubuntu on sda4... I never boot windows and its not even on my grub config anymore but sda1 is set as the active partition... can I set sda4 as active and then reformat sda1 as additional ext3 storage space? [23:17] if someone can help me it would be appriciated [23:17] helix yes [23:17] ok, [23:17] i cannot download files to mu aMULE [23:17] ryanprior: is it ubuntu specific? why would I want to rename my devices? [23:17] !anyone | Bjbbop [23:17] Bjbbop: 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? [23:17] anyone know how i can have multiople desktop spaces [23:17] i have bullet problems in my DOC files with Openoffice. Any fix for this? [23:17] In feisty I wrote some graphics programs using svgalib, but they won't compile in hardy. I installed libsvga1-dev. The header SEEMS to include fine, but all of the svga-related function calls say "undefined reference." [23:17] ubuntu cd installer doesnt recognize windows vista [23:17] it doesnt open the links [23:17] helix read the text on the grub it will give you the commands you can use. [23:17] NuevoUsuarioUbun, what do you mean by "doesn't recognize?" [23:18] XedLos: that's default on ubuntu - press control+alt+cursor arrow [23:18] Ok i figured out how to take music off the ipod touch but how do i put music on the ipod touch. [23:18] ubuntunovice: There are reasons to want to rename devices - why do you want to edit your fstab? [23:18] Hey all, I'm new to Ubuntu, and have noticed that the computer randomly locks up after turning the computer on. Usually when this happens I am only able to move the mouse, No response when trying to click on anything. Anyone have any ideas? The times that it takes to lock up varies too, from 5 minutes or hours... [23:18] how do i open links and start downloading to a MULE [23:18] laeg: i only have 2 spaces i want 4 [23:18] how can I destructively format (so I don't just want to delete the table) a harddisk or patition? [23:18] what tsula would like to know is is there a way to fix the ranom lockups [23:18] tsula: When it happens, does ctrl+alt+backspace do anything? [23:19] tsula if you are using a nvidia graphic driver that might happen, downgrade it. [23:19] when I get to the screen to make partitions it doesn't detects vist as os [23:19] ryanprior: well I have a couple of old linux partitions I want to format but I couldn't find them in my filetree so I looked in fstab [23:19] NuevoUsuarioUbun, it doesn't look at OS's. Look for "NTFS", it's the file system format Vista uses. [23:19] Only time i've used control alt backspace, it didn't do anything... even the mouse stopped responding. [23:19] ryanprior: they are not there. but when I try to mount them the system says the partition are already mounted.... but where?! [23:19] NuevoUsuarioUbun, The NTFS one is likely where Vista is stored. [23:19] ubuntunovice: To destructively format a partition, I suggest using dd to copy a massive amount of /dev/urand to fill the whole partition, then shredding the resulting file, then doing a normal format. [23:19]  hi all. My dad gave me his older laptop (not that old actually) it is a Dell Inspiron 1300. Unfortunately, there is something amiss on the hd. Windows would not boot without an error related to the hard drive. Originally, I created a new partition and installed Ubuntu 7.10. That seems to work as I think the bad part of the disk was never actually accessed with ubuntu installed. I have been running it that way for a few wee [23:20] tsula check google for RSEIUB it might save your butt [23:20] doses an ne know ow i cane enable muyltiple desktop spaces [23:20] okay [23:20] hello all: how can I get rid of evince without hosing my system? [23:20] Is there a way to isolate the "bad area". In the long term I will get a new hd...but in the meantime I'd like to get ubuntu up and running like before. Any suggestions? [23:20] greybeard95a: Why do you need to get rid of evince? [23:20] tsula what graphics card are you using ? [23:20] ryanprior: but how can I mount the partition to begin with.. when I use mount /mnt/test /dev/sdb1 it says already mounted [23:20] ok, I know, but in the screen that should detect other operating system it shows nothing [23:20] Hi RyanPrior: It locks up my system every time. [23:20] XedLos, have you installed the compiz settings manager? [23:20] Dante123: What makes you think its the disk and not winblows? [23:20] does anyone has an enswer for my question ? [23:21] dante123: if you press F12 at the dell logo you can run diagnostics on your HDD [23:21] Dante123: I don't suggest trying to continue use of a hard drive despite hardware failure. It's a recipe for disaster. [23:21] i did [23:21] NuevoUsuarioUbun, You're from Mexico according to your IP. Would it help to use an Ubuntu help channel in Spanish? [23:21] XedLos, have you run it yet? [23:21] Ok this is probably a stupid question but I have windows on sda1 and ubuntu on sda4... I never boot windows and its not even on my grub config anymore but sda1 is set as the active partition... can I set sda4 as active and then reformat sda1 as additional ext3 storage space? [23:21] XedLos, did we get your cube working? [23:21] anyone have an idea why Rhythmbox would just stop updating its library after the first 300 files? [23:21] greybeard95a: There's probably a problem that's deeper than just Evince then. :-) [23:21] RyanPrior: I see Ubuntu Desktop depends on it. [23:21] thanks for nothing patifa, have nice day [23:21] k [23:21] i only have 2 spaces so i di not get a cube [23:21] RyanPrior: The system seems fine as long as I don't run Evince. [23:22] Zarbuck look at gparted you might be able to do that with it. [23:22] That went well :\ [23:22] * emma shrugs at patifa [23:22] greybeard95a: Does it panic the kernel, or lock up X, or lock up gdm, or gnome-panel, or what? [23:22] wirechief_intel, I can... I'm wondering if it is safe? [23:22] so i need to have more spaces [23:22] I don't want to end up with and unbootable system then have to try and fix it [23:22] hello. I have a question about...HAL-awareness, I believe is the correct term [23:22] does anyone know how to do it [23:23] greybeard95a: You can safely remove the ubuntu-desktop package - it won't bork your whole system, I don't think. However, it will be necessary in order to upgrade your system to a newer distro. [23:23] I have all my music on partitions outside my /home, partitions rt [23:23] RyanPrior: All I know is that the system stops responding, the clock in the upper left stops advancing, but the cursor still responds somewhat [23:23] can anybody help with an aMULE problem ??? [23:23] !anybody | Bjbbop [23:23] Bjbbop: 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? [23:23] Zarbuck hmm well i have never done it, cannot guareentee it is, (no one would do that) but seems you have virtually blown windows away, check google for more information [23:24] dante123: actually even better you can hold down the function key when you turn it on and it will run through some quick tests on all H/W [23:24] wirechief_intel, I have a ati mobility x600 graphics card === Griverr is now known as Griver [23:24] RyanPrior: Is Ubuntu-Desktop a metapackage? [23:24] greybeard95a: It is. [23:24] Zarbuck, the "super GRUB disk" is a neat tool you may want to look into, if you have a spare CD blank. [23:24] *partitions that I automount via clicking on their shortcuts. so sometimes, one partition is not mounted in the same folder it was before. amarok notices this and finds my music library regardless of what folder the disk is mounted in. GNOME/gtk music managers do not, is there any solution for this? Because I really do prefer gnome [23:24] tsula are you using proprietary graphics driver ? [23:24] RyanPrior: thanks! [23:25] I have an Atheros wireless card, I'd like to find the exact model. How can I do that? [23:25] russe11: lspci [23:25] ryanprior: how do I use this dd command=?# [23:25] tsula does these lockups occur in windows ? [23:25] anyone here know anything about jack? [23:25] no they don't [23:25] russe11: Or save yourself some hunting with lspci | grep atheros [23:25] wirechief_intel: i can tell you as tsula is my freind, no they don't [23:25] lol [23:25] RyanPrior, I actually did that, but it needed to be "grep Atheros", heh. Thanks! [23:25] lets see [23:25] russe11: Yeah, I always forget to suggest -i [23:25] !jack [23:25] Factoid jack not found [23:26] RyanPrior, -i ignores case? [23:26] russe11: Yes. -i for "insensitive" [23:26] elphias: what graphics driver ? vesa fglrx radeon ati ? [23:26] RyanPrior, thanks for the tip, I'll remember that.

[23:27] elphias if your unsure you can use cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep Driver to see which [23:27] hhp2k: That's sort of specific - perhaps ##hardware or here, depending on whether it's a hardware or software problem. === Trevinho-{AwAy} is now known as Trevinyo [23:28] !webcam | shinjin [23:28] shinjin: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:28] RyanPrior: ##Hardware should be able to help at least somewhat. I come here because this I used to hang out here a lot, and you guys know everything. :P [23:28] is there a way to disable computer bell? [23:28] patifa, Thanks... it looks interesting... I will have to remember that if something messes up [23:28] Thanks [23:28] wirechief_intel: he's useing some kind of intell chipset for his video card [23:28] ian_liu88: I know there is, and it's easy to do, but I forget how. [23:29] ian_liu88: I bet you can find it on Google. [23:29] Zarbuck, I used it to readjust my boot pointers to restore grub, and later to restore an XP bootloader on a friend's botched Ubuntu install. It's nice :) [23:29] elphias is that what the coding i gave showed ? [23:29] ian_liu88, System > Preferences > Sound > System Beep [23:29] I was wondering if i can boot grub on my machine from network. The hard disk with the current grub bootloader had died and it doesn't have a CD-Rom player [23:29] Thanks guys =) [23:30] Varan yes if your bios supports that. [23:30] yes [23:30] but I can only find how to install ubuntu [23:30] from network [23:30] does the standaard netboot start with grub? [23:30] I did the upgrade and now I can not hear any of the sound from the wmv's? [23:31] XedLos - Yes you have to change something in Compiz Configuration Settings, but you have to tell me if you have opened that yet. [23:31] hey does anyone know how to change the start button [23:31] because i only have to rewrite the mrb [23:31] Varan you dont have a cdrom ? [23:31] no [23:32] hey does anyone know how to change the start button [23:32] The start button? [23:32] yes [23:32] hey does anyone know how to change the start button [23:32] ran dell diagnostics and no problems from that on HD either [23:32] Varan not sure if that is in !grub if not check google for ubuntu terminalserver [23:32] !grub [23:33] 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 [23:33] randal: 1 sec. [23:33] gilan: ok [23:33] terminalserver? [23:33] hmm owke [23:33] Varan yes [23:33] Ok so heres a question... If grub is written to the mbr (I assume it is) and it handles all the booting then do I actually need an active partition to be set? [23:33] Varan it is basically a pxboot [23:34] yeah [23:34] Zarbuck, possibly. Not all of GRUB is in the MBR. [23:34] hmm owke [23:34] Zarbuck i dont have [23:34] ssh is ports 22 and 64 udp right? [23:34] Does anyone know what happens when you remove the Itunes Lock File for the ipod touch? [23:34] Is there any way to fix all the sound conflicts? It's really annoying. Firefox steals all the sound, Wine steals all the sound :/ [23:34] gilan: ??? do you know how [23:34] Zarbuck never had to set flags in any distro i have installed [23:34] I am attempting to install GnuGo & Quarry (a GUI to handle GnuGo); I was going to install the tarball, and had downloaded the tars for both, but then I found them both on aptitude. So I installed them (I think?) with aptitude's terminal UI. How do I use them now? [23:35] Zarbuck never had to set flags except for windows ;) [23:35] typing in "quarry" gives me nothing. [23:35] Zarbuck then i had to donate 4 quarts of blood too [23:36] haha [23:36] Can I assume (dangerous) that if the live CD doesn't detect my monitor resolution correctly with a nvidia card that I will have to do some tweeking after installing? [23:36] hi everybody. i'm a totally noob about ubuntu and i've a question to ask. how do i edit xorg.conf manually? i've got an old crt monitor which ubuntu doesn't recognize at all [23:36] I'm not a fan of the fact that hardy heron uses beta software by default... [23:36] I am attempting to install GnuGo & Quarry (a GUI to handle GnuGo); I was going to install the tarball, and had downloaded the tars for both, but then I found them both on aptitude. So I installed them (I think?) with aptitude's terminal UI. How do I use them now? Typing in "quarry" gives me nothing. [23:36] Mark_G: yep [23:36] pocoto: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:36] ff3b5 is better than ff2 and more stable so it doesnt make a diff drewby [23:37] and that just the facts that i made up right now [23:37] thanks drewby [23:37] jedimindtricks: how do we know it's more stable? it hasn't been out nearly as long... [23:37] Mark_G: yep see this help http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490 [23:38] because i use it on a daily basis and it crashes a lot less, uses a lot less resources and is far more web standards compatible [23:38] wirechief_intel: what a pain.. upgrade worked.. sort of.. now trying to do fresh install on new HD.. once done where do I go to modify the screen resolution? xorg isn't used so I'm mystified. [23:38] im a web developer ive been running ff3 since b1 [23:38] randal: open gconf-editor [23:38] Well I guess I'm going to just reformat this unused partition to ext3 and not have a active partition and keep my fingers crossed...

[23:39] jedimindtricks: 1 person doesn't constitute a valid statistic, but either way, it's just a beef, I'm not trying to convince anyone to switch back or anything. I'm just saying in a perfect world... [23:39] gilan: how do i open it [23:39] I've never used the gui, don't particularly want to. [23:39] RyanPrior: im not quite sure what your point is, and i have been an ubuntu user for 5 years, im doubtfull that pertains to me. [23:39] kajo: my bad :o/ [23:39] open terminal [23:39] aptitude wants to remove hundreds of packages that apt-get doesnt. how can i convince it not to? [23:39] elphias, kajo: I switched your names. [23:39] kajo: sudo aptitude to get the text based menu.. find and tag the packages you want and apply [23:39] gconf-editor [23:40] kajo: What about aptitude do you need help understanding? [23:40] why is there no shortcut for gconf-editor [23:40] gilan: how tho [23:40] kajo: Have you read the man page? [23:40] randal: open terminal [23:40] drewby: i disagree, my opinion trumps the rest of the community [23:40] :) [23:40] zelrikriando: there is off the Applications menu [23:40] mark ryan: I just used sudo aptitude, found two programs I wanted (gnugo & quarry), downloaded them (or so it seems?) and now I don't know what to do.

[23:40] randal: and [23:40] randal: gconf-editor [23:40] Mark_G: where [23:40] gilan: i got it [23:41] ok [23:41] elphias you are using fglrx [23:41] Does aptitude actually install the program, or just download the tar and all dependencies? [23:41] gilan: now what [23:41] randal: apps > panel >objects [23:41] zelrikriando: toward the bottom.. I'm on the live cd right now and it's not available. It is only after install. but might not be called gconf-editor [23:41] kajo: it downlads the deb, dependencies, and installs them [23:41] kajo: it installs it. It odens't use tars though, it uses debs [23:41] And I am pretty sure it just deleted over 100MB of other files that didn't really seem related. [23:41] evilgnome: no, when trying to dist-upgrade [23:41] Ok. [23:41] gilan: then what [23:42] Then how do I access my newly isntalled programs? [23:42] kajo: by "name" [23:42] anyone know a shortcut for minimizing xchat to system tray? [23:42] elphias you need to make a backup of your xorg.conf and do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and use vesa and see if your lockups stop [23:42] Elphias, it's froze again... Apparently, that's all that works, moving the mouse around and typing. [23:42] randal: Click through them until you find the one where the value for "object_type" is "menu-object". [23:42] I tried typing in "quarry". No luck. [23:42] Mark_G: ok I dont have it...I dont see any shortcut for it [23:42] sparr__: try sudo aptitude afe-upgrade [23:42] *safe-upgrade [23:42] I tried typing in "quarry". No luck. @ mark [23:42] gilan: what one do i click [23:42] tsula he is using fglrx you need to switch back to vesa [23:42] hi [23:43] zelrikriando: wish I was in my other install and I'd tell you more..

[23:43] akatsuki: it is not "free".. [23:43] ya [23:43] kajo: try dpkg -L quarry | grep /usr/bin [23:43] opera?? [23:43] akatsuki, its not there, go to opera.com they have an ubuntu repo that u can add [23:43] since when? [23:43] gilan: ya object_1 and object _2 [23:43] akatsuki, since forever [23:43] ok [23:44] akatsuki, opera was never free [23:44] It said quarry isn't installed. [23:44] -_- [23:44] akatsuki: not price wise.. codec wise [23:44] @flannel [23:44] !ubotu flash > azexian [23:44] Mark_G: try using xrandr that will show your resolution then try using xrandr -s 1024x768 [23:44] I have a problem when I install packages with apt ... and the end of the process it try to install a new kernel image and fail [23:44] randal: Click through them until you find the one where the value for "object_type" is "menu-object". [23:44] kajo: then you haven't installed it [23:44] wirechief_intel: thanks.. [23:44] kajo: try sudo aptitude install quarry [23:45] hey everyone, i know you all might be busy, but I need help restoring my eth0 (wired) connection, its gone, its no where, lspci lists it but its nowhere being used at all, I need some help [23:45] Mark_G: i got hung on phone call ;) [23:45] wirechief_intel: it'll also work with xrandr -s 1280x1024 right? [23:45] gilan: i dont know what im looking for [23:45] I must be misunderstanding the use of aptitude. I use search, and find it. I click "g" several times, and it does something. What am I doing wrong? [23:45] gilan: they both have it [23:45] randal: menu-bar [23:45] Mark_G: check with xrandr that will give the resolutions you can use [23:45] I thought I did that before and it did nothing. [23:45] But it's installing a package now. [23:46] Thanks, Flannel. [23:46] evilgnome: that doesnt seem to change the behavior of dist-upgrade [23:46] found it [23:46] its not obect_1 [23:47] gilan: found it its not under object_1 its under menu_bar_screen0 [23:47] gilan: now what [23:47] randal: http://www.natewelch.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=41 [23:48] randal: this way [23:48] randal: sorry my english poor [23:48] Weird.. on boot of the live cd it shows the correct time set by the system clock.. after installing for a while it sets the clock back 9 hours.. [23:48] gilan: your doing fine i found it now what do i do [23:49] Mark_G: you have to set it manually (i have had to do that at times) [23:50] mark[oz]: man you really have time savings...hahaha [23:51] hey im trying to share my ntfs drives on ubuntu over the network so i can access them in vista and ubuntu on my other computer...how would i go about setting that up [23:51] Hey guys i just need some help restoring my eth0 connection [23:52] 1 [23:52] I keep my music on partitions outside of /home, that I automount via clicking on their shortcuts. so sometimes, one partition is not mounted in the same folder it was before. amarok notices this and finds my music library regardless of what folder the disk is mounted in. GNOME/gtk music managers do not, is there any solution for this? Because I really do prefer gnome [23:52] sparr__: why are you using dist-upgrade instead of safe-upgrade? [23:53] evilgnome: because i want some of those abandoned packages to be uninstalled [23:53] but only some? [23:53] what is it removing that you don't want it to? [23:53] I intend to install a java virtual machine on ubuntu server 7.10 (I believe). How do I achieve this without simultaneously apparently installing X11? [23:54] evilgnome: i dont want it to remove lots of applications. i do want it to remove libraries not in use by anything. [23:55] catalyst: download the tar ball from sun's site and install the tar ball...you can't avoid the x11 deps with the deb packages [23:55] I have a partition called /dev/sda2 which is an extended partition about 40 gigs big.. I cannot mount it, it says I cannot mount extended partitions. then how can I use it?! === brady is now known as Computer|Nerd [23:55] thingy: thanks [23:55] gilan: i figured it out but when i go to set the address of the button it doesent let my change it [23:55] sparr__: lots of _specific_ applications? [23:55] Hey all. I've just upgraded to 8.04, and now my laptop won't play any music files -- I've tried playing MP3s and Ogg files with both Movie Player and Rhythmbox. Both just sit there, thinking that they're playing the file, but no sound comes out and the time elapsed through the track does't change. [23:55] there are some "empty" partitions in my partition table.. what are those good for?! [23:55] sparr__: you could install them directly [23:56] hey im trying to share my ntfs drives on ubuntu over the network so i can access them in vista and ubuntu on my other computer...how would i go about setting that up [23:56] ubuntunovice: what is the output of "fdisk -l" <-- thats an L [23:56] evilgnome: i dread having to go through the list and pick out applications i definitely want to keep [23:56] can someone lead me in the right direction [23:56] Any suggestions for things I could try? [23:56] How do I get rid of a plugin in firefox that I don't want and replace it with one I do want? I accidentally installed a different plugin instead of flash and this plugin doesn't work with all of the sites flash did [23:56] Hey having a bit of trouble. Ubuntu is able to pick up my one sata drive. (The one it's installed on.) But it's unable to pick up any other drives i plug in, IDE or Sata. Any suggestions on what i could try? [23:56] sparr__: is this an update from a previous ubuntu version? [23:56] evilgnome: no [23:57] evilgnome: hardy post-release to hardy today [23:57] <[Lowkey]> Hey everytime I plug in my laptop my mouse starts acting all crazy and clicking ranomly.. can someone help me?
