[00:07] randal: thats it [00:07] I think most of the beta stuff will be upgraded to the final versions once they're out [00:07] CaptainMorgan, Still gutsy, still 2.0.0.14 [00:07] gilan: where do i tell it to use a differnt picture [00:07] randal: use_custom_icon (right panel) [00:08] dmsuperman, did you update your system?

[00:08] randal: and custom_icon (right panel) [00:08] dmsuperman, I imagine then the latest updates have done something to it... but I'm not certain [00:08] randal: did you see its [00:08] wirechief_intel: well I've tried upgrading it before and I have problems with the fglrx and the ones on the ati website. and I have trouble getting back to the driver I have now, but I did a fresh install of Hardy so I want to back up this driver before I try upgrading it with envy [00:08] How do you remove a MD when configuring partitions for RAID? When I try to "Delete MD device", I see the two MD's that I created but no longer want (md1_raid0 , md2_raid0) I receive the error: "There was an error deleting the multidisk device. It may be in use." The only way I was able to recover from this previous was perform a low-level format (turn all bits to 0... I really don't want to do that again) [00:09] CaptainMorgan, I think it's the times new roman font, it seems to somehow have been damaged. [00:09] RyanPrior: nice thanks alot brother! [00:09] dmsuperman, try a different font? what happens? [00:09] szx0, next time try unmounting it. [00:09] gilan: ? right click it? [00:09] macd, how do I go about do that? [00:09] randal: no left click [00:09] szx0, "man umount" [00:09] randal: value [00:10] phoenix5002: ok well, i would of thought you were using a vesa driver but its not coming up that way [00:10] szx0, additionally, "man mdadm" [00:10] gilan: i got it to work thank you [00:10] randal: really?? [00:10] is the performance in 64-bit Ubuntu noticeable versus the 32-bit version ? I'm not asking an architectural question per se, but an *ubuntu* question.... [00:10] CaptainMorgan, DejaVuSans looks better, but still really weak somehow [00:10] phoenix5002: i have fglrx installed (had problems too ) and fell back it come up with vesa [00:10] CaptainMorgan, on the desktop, no. [00:10] gilan: when you click it it doesn nothing [00:10] randal: 1 sec. [00:10] macd, I know how to use unmount. But that seems very irrelevant during the Ubuntu Installation procedure... I don't have access to any command prompt. I don't even have proper partitions? [00:11] hey guys does anyone know how to reduce ntop's resource consumption ? [00:11] gilan: nvm its working [00:11] macd, I've got my memory maxed at 4gbs... I'd like to address that last GB that isn't addressed in 32-bit OSs... or is ubuntu not affected by this addressing ? [00:11] szx0, you have right click in gparted to unmount then. [00:11] phoenix5002: i just changd macines here [00:11] CaptainMorgan, thats a good enough reason to use 64bit [00:12] hey guys does anyone know how to reduce ntop's resource consumption ? [00:12] macd, there is no right-click in the text-based installation [00:12] yell0w, dont use it [00:12] gilan: but it doesent show places or system settings and stuff [00:12] phoenix5002: when i did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg i ended up with vesa [00:12] macd: do you know something similar to it but not such a resource hog ? [00:12] szx0, on a text based install you'd want to not use the guided partitioning, and use advanced. [00:12] hi, I was by here earlier today about a problem with apt claiming my drive was full allthough I installed ubuntu from scratch last week and my root partition is ~10 gb. apt-get clean fixed that, but upon further inspection I find that my root partition actually IS full, but I can't understand what's taking up so much space since my /home is a separate partition and I never use root partition actively.. any ideas what might be causing this? [00:12] yell0w, not really, its just a hog [00:13] phoenix5002: when i have a ati1300 [00:13] macd, I am not using the guided partition. I don't even think the guided partition can be used for RAID. I am configuring my partitions manually. [00:13] yell0w, for on the fly I use "bmon" but its no where near as good as ntop [00:13] randal: http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3731/screenshotconfigurationez8.png [00:13] filthpig: There's a utility to find out what's hogging your disk space. [00:13] I must be asking impossible questions today, barely anyone knows to answer.. but, can somebody help me set up my graphics card on my laptop? is there a easy way at least for me to try, before going nuts?

For things like volume up/down and mute i see the correct corresponding gfx on my screen indicating the action is taking place, however the actual audio output is unchanged. For buttons like play/pause i see nothing on screen and nothing happens. Any ideas how i can get my keyboard media buttons functioning? [00:14] randal: my conf [00:14] szx0, after you found your raid devices unable to be deleted from that disk partitioner, you should have gone to a alternate tty and used mdadm to delete the raid devices [00:14] Hello all [00:14] How do I automatically mount in NTFS drive in HH ? [00:14] wirechief_: well is there a general way to backup any video driver, or is it different for different drivers? [00:14] szx0, its assumed if your messing with softraid you know your way around the utilities that manage it [00:15] * macd food calls [00:15] I know you edit /etc/fstab -- but what file system type do you use?

[00:15] phoenix5002: i just backup the xorg.conf [00:15] randal: ok?? [00:15] why does apt keep packages back? [00:15] xborgy: It is indeed strange, but it might have been caused by using sudo nautilus. [00:15] Why any of flash player (flash-player nonfree, gnash and swfdec) are not working??? [00:15] Jonty: which packages? [00:15] xborgy: If you use Nautilus as root, make sure you use gksudo. [00:15] wirechief_: I tried that and it doesn't work because the driver on ati's website has the same name I think so it overwrites the one I currently have, or something like that [00:16] phoenix5002: i just backup the xorg.conf cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [00:16] im so new i dont know what Nautilus is [00:16] xborgy: it's the file manager or file browser [00:16] xborgy: gnome graphical file manager [00:16] Starnestommy: well, I did apt-get upgrade amarok and it's keeping back amarok [00:16] ahh yes ok [00:16] wirechief_: basically the xorg.conf file looks exactly the same after I upgrade as it does now, but the driver is different, I have no "direct rendering" with the proprietary driver [00:16] Jonty: does it say anything else? [00:17] RyanPrior, oh, thanks!

[00:23] Hey guys, I editted my ~/.Xdefaults, but for some reason the changes only show up if I run the command xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults [00:24] says the max is 800x600 [00:24] Hey guys, I editted my ~/.Xdefaults, but for some reason the changes only show up if I run the command xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults and if I log out and log back in again, I have to re-run that command to get the changes. [00:24] tyler: if nfs, http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-ubuntu-linux-nfs-file-sharing [00:24] pulseezar: what about xrandr does it give different resolutions ? use what it shows you can use [00:24] which on a 17inch screen is totally gash [00:24] How can you collapse a node without using the mouse in the GTK tree view?

They're gone. [00:25] yeah, the prob is i'm using ubuntu on a lappy with a screwed graphics card. I can only get the display working in safe graphics mode but this restricts the resolution a lot, sort of making using it highly annoying [00:25] tyler: ntfs partitions shoudl already been seen by ubuntu, it's default [00:25] Flip2405: I saw, but I haven't used unreal since about a year ago [00:25] Hey guys, I editted my ~/.Xdefaults, but for some reason the changes only show up if I run the command xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults and if I log out and log back in again, I have to re-run that command to get the changes, how do I remedy this?

[00:26] will these make the user list appear? [00:26] thanks again [00:26] i remember seeing a movie where they insert a usb device into a slot on a keyboard. This seems really neat, but do they really make keyboards like this? Sorry for asking this here, I just didn't know where else to ask it. [00:26] Let me know if you like the vid or not [00:27] FrankiBoi: oh a list? i dunno [00:27] FrankiBoi: try sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [00:27] I was wondering if someone could help me - my sound stopped working properly after upgrading to 8.04. [00:27] SeaPhor: I've tried that stuff. I can tab to it, but arrow keys and spacebar do nothing. [00:27] pulseezar: welll what happens can you set your res to something else ? [00:27] sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [00:27] that will make gdm appear, don't know about a user list, look in your login preferances [00:27] that? [00:27] matt___, sure take mac keyboards for example === Calvin87 is now known as Cpudan80 [00:27] usser: ahhh...mac keyboards... [00:27] SeaPhor: I got an answer in ##linux though: + and - open and close the nodes, respectively. [00:28] only things less than 800x600 i suppose [00:28] RyanPrior, The "+" and "-" keys ( not on the keypad) [00:28] i have cinelerra installed but wen i go in the ubuntu menu to run it or click on the shhortcut on my taskbar it doesnt run at all ive even reinstalled the program and restarted ubuntu several times and still, it doesnt run [00:28] help plz [00:28] usser: lettme take a look at that...however...if i were to get one of those nice keyboards, would it work on my pc with linux installed? [00:28] which is of course only going to make things worse! [00:28] Hi guys. I am trying to remove a lot of folders with the same name inside another folder with a lot of under folders. Is there any way I can get rm to run through the whole folder and remove any sign of any folder with that name? [00:28] RyanPrior, lol, was hitin you with it same time [00:28] matt___, yes its layout is a little weird though, im sure theres lots of pc keyboards with usb [00:29] SeaPhor: I would prefer that the keyboard toggle them though. [00:29] For some reason I cannot increase the resolution of my screen passed 1024x768, why is that? [00:29] pulseezar: you might be able to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and get better but backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf first [00:29] usser: i figured logitech would have one, but i can't find any [00:29] hey there, does anyone have Evolution and Google Calendar running? I can't save meetings or events to my Google Calendar. [00:29] cylux, u can add resolutions with a command (doesnt work with hardy anymore) or u can use envy to get the proprietary driver for ur video card so that all resolutions r detected [00:29] pulseezar: just use default answers [00:30] cylux: What sort of computer are you using? Have you checked to see if restricted drivers help? [00:30] That didn't work === c is now known as Charitwo [00:30] ghindo: I have the restricted drivers now and basically I have every resolution available UP TO 1024x768 [00:30] Am I assuming that rt73 drivers are broken in 8.04 [00:30] The users do not appear in the Login Window face browser [00:30] ndee: I don't think anybody actually uses Evolution. They just pretend to, while actually using their web browsers or Thunderbird or Alpine or similar. [00:30] ? [00:30] cylux: Huh. What resolution is it SUPPOSED to be at, and what sort of graphics card are you running?

[00:33] so, when i attach an external usb hard drive and play either audio or video xubuntu crashes [00:33] grub question - how do i remove the text and boarder of grub, so it only shows my splash image and the OS choices? >.> [00:33] usser: thanks though [00:33] After an update today [00:33] they disappeated [00:33] david__--: What problems are you having?

[00:34] so with the new screen resolution tool in preferences, it's supposed to show two monitors if you have two plugged in? [00:34] FrankiBoi: you might need to change the GDM theme [00:34] it updated lots of things --evolution, etc. [00:34] usser: but once i did see in a business a monitor with two ports built in, sorta mimicking the imacs, that was NEAT [00:34] I changed it and the problem remains [00:34] emma: maybe it is just my feeling but ff3 beta 5 works much smoother on a fresh install than the upgrade from gutsy to hardy. :\ [00:34] D-Unit: that doesn't make it a desirable piece of advice to give, IMO. [00:34] my 1st day with ubuntu [00:34] wirechief thanks [00:34] Ryanprior:well,im a bit new to linux still so im sure the problem lies with me...im trying to copy extracted files to the amsn plugin folder but it isnt working out for me [00:34] congratulation PCDJ [00:34] RyanPrior, ok im sry :( [00:35] wirechief_: seems like reconfiguring xorg only affects the keyboard? [00:35] :) [00:35] Gin: There are some known bottlenecks to FF3 performance, some of which are exacerbated by having existing FF2 data. Those are being worked on. [00:35] i am gonna try to slowly ween myself off XP lol [00:35] Gin: Sometimes you can get a huge speedup by deleting all your browser history. [00:35] any help for xubuntu available here?

Talk about really hurting the cause. [02:07] paito basically compatibilty, but if you are doing a server they say its a good thing but i have used 32bit for both, i just had too many bugs with 64bit [02:07] amenado: it might be mkinitramfs [02:07] matt____: there has been many instances over the years [02:08] cinei roman pls prv me [02:08] i need a good .chm to .pdf solution [02:08] AndrewB: really?

Also, is there any guide to help me install unrealircd on ubuntu? [02:09] RyanPrior: oh, exactly what i meant. People know that if they can't legally install the codecs in linux, thus being a big turnaway factor IF people start getting prosected on a large scale. [02:09] matt____: yeah there was a big law case about it like 2 years ago, i can't remember the details, just that like every FOSS site out there had 'Support us!' [02:10] eclectic: i use dd to copy my .iso to the hard drive you can probably do it with it [02:10] matt___: I think that if people start getting prosecuted on a large scale, we may see a profitable business in licensing codecs, and/or more adoption of free formats. [02:10] AndrewB: what do you mean by "support us"? [02:10] support the codec creators and stuffs i honestly have forgoten about it all though [02:10] My kernel segfaults on boot. How do I fix it? Help! [02:10] matt____: the big companies are wise not to sue people on a large scale, as it keeps people locked into their non-free formats and hurts adoption of free ones. [02:10] licensing? [02:11] why that [02:11] !ot [02:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:11] IndyGunFreak, do you know if i can make a #server-name and keep it permanent? [02:11] unless its something driven by win32codecs there not much to fear [02:12] software patents are not valid in most countrys other than US [02:12] Can anybody tell me why it is that no matter what I try to use, it automatically overrides my decision with a font from the microsoft font package? I can only get Arial, Arial Bold, Courier New, or similar fonts. Everything else I choose just changes to those fonts [02:12] SeaPhor: no, i'mnot sure on that, sorry [02:12] RyanPrior: right...i heard something like microsoft not doing much about PEOPLE that steal their OS's, simply because of bad publicity. Microsoft sues the family of 4 because 12yo Johny downed XP from the bt site hurts pr a lot a guess. [02:12] eclectic: you may have to change the coding a bit for the names but it would be interesting to see if it worked [02:12] umount /mnt/cdrom [02:12] Create CD-ROM ISO image with dd command: [02:12] # dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdimg1.iso do this for cdrom images [02:12] wirechief_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:12] RyanPrior: same thing, sorta. [02:12] IndyGunFreak, thanks for the reply neway! :-)) [02:13] matt____: Also, if Microsoft did anything to hurt Windows adoption, it would be helping Linux. They want to keep people locked in. [02:13] ^Tech-Help^ : Is there any installation guide for unrealircd? [02:13] does anyone know how to call a vpn I created in a GUI via the command line [02:13] RyanPrior: yep, but gotta go. but right on :) [02:13] matt____: Microsoft doesn't even go after major software pirates in third-world countries, because they want people to get hooked. [02:13] wirechief: I'll try that as a work-around. But still I wonder if this is a bug that can be diagnosed and fixed [02:13] billenium: there's one in the readme or install files in the tarball that it comes in [02:14] Out of curiostiy, is there anything that a standard Ubuntu terminal can do that the Mac OSX terminal cannot? [02:14] I can only find the download for the windows unrealircd... Can you link me to the linux one? [02:14] billenium: it's the source version [02:14] ah [02:14] eclectic: not many do what you are trying, i doubt it but could be wrong.

[02:17] I am looking for a cool looking temp monitor with a graphical display for the desktop, anyone have an suggestions? [02:17] <^Tech-Help^> billenium you should be able to right click the file, choose open, then archiver should open it, from there you can extract it witha a GUI [02:17] Hi folks!

[02:19] hey! anybody found a way to re-enable wifi after unticking it via the network icon in panel? [02:20] jsoftw, i use ftp server for that sort of thing, if i'm following your question right [02:20] SeaPhor: ftp server? [02:21] nobody knows how to call a VPN connection that was created in the network manager GUI via the command line? [02:22] hey! does anybody know how to clear a resume image? I can't boot by laptop after hibernation [02:22] hello, whats the best way to have a command run at every startup? (sudo modprobe ndiswrapper) [02:22] jsoftw, like i said, i may not be following what you asked but i have files in this box that certain ppl can access thru ftp, for upload and download [02:22] berengal: only thing that i can thiink of is reinstall from livecd or do a trick with a different kernel either way your gonna lose your install. [02:22] TaRDy: cron [02:22] TaRDy: add 'ndiswrapper' in a blank line to /etc/modules [02:23] wirechief_: Can't I just replace the kernel? I've got the source [02:23] berengal although the trick might work [02:23] thank you binarymutant and rodolf0 [02:24] berengal well then maybe you could just recompile it but thats over my head at the moment, i use a precompiled kernel from another distro and it probably would not work here. [02:24] Hi guys, I´d like gnome to always open new windows in the middle of the screen, is it possible? [02:24] wirechief_: Assuming I've got two kernels, how do I select which one to boot? [02:24] wsjunior: maybe with devilspie [02:24] Hi, all. I'm running into a problem mounting a drive writeable. I mount it as root, but I want other users to be able to write to it. Any suggestions? How do I do this? [02:24] !devilspie > wsjunior (read the private message from ubottu) [02:25] wabash: what filesystem? [02:25] berengal it might be something i would try once im all done with testing [02:25] Let's see [02:25] jrib: Ext3 [02:25] !permissions > wabash (read the private message from ubottu) [02:25] berengal: it will show up in the grub [02:25] wabash: use chmod/chown as usual [02:25] wirechief_: It won't add itself automagically, will it? [02:26] jrib: Thank you. I'll read through this. I'll ask you if I still can't get it. [02:26] wabash: sure [02:26] berengal: when i replace my kerenl in kanotix i do a wget -N nameofthekernel and do a install script that comes with it, it is a ubuntu kernel [02:26] how do I make link or add to applications menu a program that i can start in terminal? [02:26] wabash, ext3 has its own permissions for each file/dir. If youw ant to allow a single user full access to files/dirs in the filesystem you will hve to mess with chown, and chmod to give the files/dirs the proper permissions [02:26] wirechief_: Well, I have no install script, just make [02:27] SeaPhor: System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [02:27] jrib: Thank you. I understand permissions well, actually. It's the mounting that I'm getting tripped up on. [02:27] Dr_willis: Thank you too. [02:27] Same thing though... [02:27] Is it just a matter of changing permissions/group of the mount point? [02:27] berengal: you have me curious if i could install one of those on kubuntu [02:27] wabash: mounting and setting permissions are independent [02:27] wabash: yes [02:27] wabash, for a externalusb drive. I normally make a SingleDir for my user (i call it UserStorage) and chown That dir to be owned by the user. I do NOT change the permissions of the mountpoint. [02:28] berengal: i havent done that . but have used other scripts from that distro to install ATI drivers [02:28] wabash: change the permissions after you mount is what I mean [02:28] jrib: Ok,, so then, would I do this: 1) mount the partition, 2) change group/permissions? Or would I 1) change permissions on the mount point, 2) mount the partition ? [02:28] jrib: Sorry, type at the same time! [02:28] hm one last question [02:28] berengal: and the ATI drivers are compiled in kubuntu [02:28] Okay, so it's linking now. Where are the bootable kernel's stored? [02:29] wabash, changing permissions of the mount point befor you mount will have no affect. its permissions are ignored when somthingis mounted over it. [02:29] does hardy ship with something to play h264 encoded videos in matroska video containers? [02:29] i think in /src [02:29] Dr_willis: Thank you for your input. That arrangement may not work for me though, the drive has to be accessible by all users. [02:29] bioth totem and mplayer seem to be unable to play that [02:29] hello. I have lots of packages from my gutsy intallation, and I dont wanna download them again. is there a way to tell APT to also look for packages there? (along with /var/cache/apt/archive/) [02:29] jrib: Dr_willis: I'll give this a try. [02:29] wabash, thats what 'groups' are for. or you could use the nasty chmod 777 on the files/dirs. [02:29] i need some good image editing software [02:29] berengal: i think in /src [02:29] jrib: kinda complicated for a simple task, but thank you anyways. [02:29] Guillaume3: gimp [02:29] something to the likes of the adobe suite [02:29] Dr_willis: Maybe then I misunderstood you. [02:30] I have bad news about the Gutsy alternate install .iso. The lib6-i686 package is screwed up and the base install fails. [02:30] that can maybe spit me out sliced up images in html [02:30] Dr_willis: What is a typical group for this kind of stuff? [02:30] wsjunior: it's not really complicated, just take a few minutes to learn the syntax [02:30] berengal: but i dont think i have answer for what you are wanting, it just spurred some what ifs in my head. [02:30] wirechief_: You mean /usr/src? [02:30] wabash, i rarely mess with groups. I would imagine you could make a usersgroup or somthing. [02:30] berengal: yes i think thats it [02:30] Dr_willis: Cool, thanks. So you don't know about plugdev group? [02:31] jrib: complicated comparing with kde that do it with a simple click, but i'm already reading some tutorials to learn the syntax. thanks. [02:31] wabash, thats a special group for the hardware devices automounting subsystem I belive [02:31] wirechief_: I've got nothing but the kernel headers there [02:31] jrib: Awesome. Thank you very much for your help. [02:31] Dr_willis: Thank you too. [02:31] Except for that, it appears to be be able to do a rollback from Hardy to Gutsy. [02:32] jrib: now, my mounted drive has permissions 770, and the group is set to a group that users are part of. Is this what you were thinking? [02:32] What is the point of roaming mode? (In network-manager) [02:32] RyanPrior, ok, wasn't quite that simple but that put me in the right direction, i figured out what command to tell it to do, THANKS! Again! :-)) [02:32] berengal can you read scripts ? [02:32] jrib: Also, any suggestions on which group to use? [02:32] wirechief_: Yeah, sort of [02:32] wabash: anything you want, I don't know of a typical one for you to use [02:33] berengal i could paste one and you could see if you could use it in some fashion to do what your trying to do. [02:33] Ashfire908: Easily switching WAPs [02:33] jrib: Ok, thank you. You have solved all of my problems, and I appreciate your help. Dr_willis, thank you too. [02:33] wirechief_: THin [02:33] Groups to the rescue! :) [02:33] oops [02:33] SeaPhor: yeah I just want a way for a sub-admin to be able to create a few accounts. [02:33] How can I examine the return value from a command in a script? I run a rsync command in my script and want to take a different action if the command was anything but successful. [02:34] fde, but for wired networks? [02:34] wirechief_: Thing is, I'm running in recovery mode. No internet (on my lappy right now) [02:34] eeboy: might want to try #bash [02:34] wabash, i just found this tutorial on the topic http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialManagingGroups.html [02:34] Ashfire908: I don't think it'll do much with wired... [02:34] wirechief_: unless it's a really short script, it would be tiresom to rewrite [02:34] Ashfire908: Same would apply if it does though... maybe you have static IPs set up in different places, just click that network for access... [02:35] berengal: true but you might get some insight on how its done. [02:35] hm, my touchpad is having some weird issues === doobe01 is now known as Doobe08 [02:35] it seems to see every click as being a double-click [02:35] berengal: only problem i have to go looking for it maybe a few minutes [02:35] Dr_willis: Thank you. I may create my own group for this, like "storage" [02:35] its in another partition ;) [02:36] Okay, I'll try poking around in the meantime [02:37] eeboy: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-10.html <-- see te Getting return value of a program bit [02:37] jsoftw, ok, sorry, i am learning all i can so i will know the answer shortly but as for now I am still a n00b with Linux, sounds like you want a remote desktop/terminal services with user/group restrictions tho, right? [02:38] Need help live cd screwed up dads pc [02:38] Ninjavidual: what happened? [02:38] the livecd doesnt do anything usualy [02:39] wirechief_: tried the dd command and system locked up same as with any other method-- 237mb out of 3g and now nothing works [02:39] in live cd licked shutdown, but a black screen came up with infinite loop of some sort of error. after several minutes i just presed to restart button on my computer [02:39] !pastebin [02:39] 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) [02:39] I have g15daemon installed via the ubuntu 8.04 repositories but the extra keys don't work. nothing's happening when i press them in xev. i tried restarting the daemon and made sure uinput was loaded, no dice. any suggestions? [02:39] Ninjavidual: and now? what doesnt work? [02:40] are there any recent experimental packages for the ati driver? still experiencing random X freezes(no system crash) with a radeon M6 (aka 7000 aka rv100) [02:40] now the pc wont show anything except black on the screen when i boot up [02:40] by extra keys i mean g1, g2, g3, etc [02:40] okay. this is somewhat urgent. how do i allow ftp access onto my ubuntu box? (apache is set up if you need it) [02:40] berengal here goes, lots of stuff going on when you replace a kernelhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/11590/ [02:41] berengal here goes, lots of stuff going on when you replace a kernel http://paste.ubuntu.com/11590/ [02:41] cached, install an ftp daemon? [02:41] cached: https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html [02:41] Ninjavidual: sounds funny [02:41] cached, if you're connected directly to the internet best not to leave it running permanently though unless you know what you are doing [02:41] wirechief_: Okay, thanks [02:41] Ninjavidual: so no picture at all? [02:42] thanks [02:42] I'm trying to just copy the new compiled kernel, and updating /boot/grub/menu.lst now... [02:42] hi [02:42] cached: That's actually for an older version, but it should all be applicable. [02:42] mgolisch: very funny. its not my computer and i dont know what to do. i cant even access the bios. the monito is black, just power light on the monitor is orange. yes, everything is connected up properly [02:42] Ninjavidual: Is the pc in standby mode by any chance? try holding the power button down for 4 secs after its powered up and when it powers down, start up as normal...also...can you confirm if there are any hard disk activity lights when the machine is powered up? Does the keyboard's capslock key for example light up when you hit it? [02:43] berengal, you can move the kernel and optional initrd to your boot directory and add them to /boot/grub/menu.lst. But are you really sure you need a mannually compiled kernel? it potentially breaks a lot of stuff [02:43] thingy: ill find out [02:43] Ninjavidual: when the powerlighht is orange, it usualy means it has no signal, that would indicate a problem of zthe grafics card [02:43] berengal as you can see you will need to reinstall drivers after a new kernel those other scripts are available they are opensource too [02:43] Ninjavidual: If the issue is there before Ubuntu or GRUB starts, then it's not an Ubuntu issue. [02:43] mgolisch: thats what i thought [02:44] berengal and i use the ATI scripts here on ubuntu and it works fine [02:44] Thingy: Thanks! [02:44] Ninjavidual: ensure there are no usb devices plugged in like hdd/flash keys etc and no cd int he cdrom drive as well [02:44] id try unpluging the power cord, pressing the power button a few times so its realy powerless, then plug it in again and start [02:44] fde: every thing worked before i tried using the live cd i just downloaded of 8.04 [02:45] Ninjavidual: The LiveCD doesn't touch anything on your computer by design. [02:45] Ninjavidual: and maybe try to put in another grafics card [02:45] or take it out of the pci slot and back or to another [02:45] thingy: ok ill check everything mentioned and try again. if it dont work maybee i will have to try that with the grapphics card [02:45] Ninjavidual: Maybe it's booting to the CD, and you have an unsupported Nvidia/ATI card? Did you take out the CD? [02:45] I just ./Configd and maked and made the .conf files for unrealircd... What do i do now? [02:46] anyone can play h264 encoded matroska video files? [02:46] none of my player seem to play them [02:46] try vlc [02:46] nothing [02:46] mgolisch, vlc or mplayer should be able to [02:46] mgolisch: I thought mplayer and vlc can play those [02:46] Meh, new kernel doesn't work [02:46] hi everyone [02:46] Probably messed up grub [02:46] berengal, why are you installing a new kernel? [02:47] billenium: This is an Ubuntu support channel, not a support channel... try #linux or something. [02:47] mplayer just doesnt display anything but cpu goes up [02:47] have a problem with my video player [02:47] ohkay [02:47] Hi,i have 2 60 gig RAID NTFS drives and Promise fast track boots them but when i try to mount them i get ntfs-3g: Failed to access volume '/dev/sda/pdc_eeaahffdh': Not a directory [02:47] koyo001, state the problem [02:47] rexy_: Because my old one segfaults [02:47] once i play too many videos at some point it just crashes [02:47] berengal, a stock ubuntu kernel? [02:47] fde: i booted up for the first time on the live cd i just burnt of 8.04. everything worked fine. i did not install anything, just looked around at everything in the new ubuntu and then clicked shut down from within ubuntu. afterwards i took out the cd and tried to boot the pc. nothing, just black screen with the monitor light orange. [02:47] mgolisch, check the prefs make sure that your video driver thingy is set to x11 [02:47] rexy_: Yes [02:47] Isn't unreal a package [02:48] is there a good RAID NTFS app to recover the files on it? [02:48] koyo001, which player ? [02:48] billenium: also... 'apt-cache search dancer' is a popular IRC server. [02:48] gxine [02:48] i have to get these files back.I can not lose them. [02:48] rexy_: I tried installing the X-Fi sound drivers, but my computer froze while compiling. When I tried restarting the kernel segfaults [02:48] berengal, which kernel on what processor? [02:48] and vlc [02:48] <^Tech-Help^> billenium try ./unreal start [02:48] koyo001, how do totem and xine-ui do ? [02:48] berengal, so it worked before, but when compiling it crashed and now it segfaults? [02:49] rexy_: 2.6.24.16 generic, on amd X2 4200+ [02:49] same problem [02:49] koyo001, no idea sorry [02:49] koyo001: try to delete .xine from your Home folder [02:49] the drives have not been formatter they still have all the files on them the only thing i have to do is rebuild the RAID Stripe can i? [02:49] could anyone help me with madwifi? is there any potential problems that could arise from making the recommended changes to kernel config in http://madwifi.org/wiki/Requirements ? [02:49] rexy_: Yeah. Those X-Fi drivers have been nothing but trouble [02:49] koyo001: Do you get the same issue without Compiz enabled? [02:49] berengal, does it segfault when you have those x-fi drivers loaded? [02:49] But I do want sound [02:49] or also without? [02:49] fde: 500 OOPS: vsftpd: refusing to run with writable anonymous root 500 OOPS: child died [02:49] i need a solution to not being able to browse a dir that a mounted nfs is in when the nfs server is down [02:49] fde what is compiz [02:50] the graphic enhencer?? [02:50] rexy_: I'm guessing it's the drivers segfaulting. Sort of looks like it, but I can't be too sure [02:50] koyo001: System > Appearance > Visual Effects ... set it to 'none' and see if it behaves better. [02:50] koyo001, the desktop effects , the eyecandy, the wobbly windows and animated menus and such [02:50] koyo001: compiz is for desktop effects. deleting ~.xine folder from Home while your media player is closed may help [02:50] cached, it refuses to run an ftp daemon that lets anonymous access to your root file system, you probably want to set some more conservative configurations [02:51] when i tried to shut down from within ubuntu an infinite amount of one error message (i cant remember what they said) came down the screen in black and white. so i pressed the power button on the computer to turn in off. Now the computer wont show anything except black when booting. [02:51] cached: Try accessing via a user on the system... or allowing anonymous, but not accessing with root? [02:51] rexy_: At least it segfaults during a modprobe, so it's a module that does it [02:51] ill try removing graphics card and putting it back in [02:51] i tryed deleting the stripe in Promise Fast Track and creating new RAID and it did make them to where they say Functional instead of Ofline now [02:51] berengal, ah, so it's the drivers then [02:51] cached: also ensure the FTP port is open. [02:51] cached, whats the problem? [02:51] will try all of these [02:51] usser: setting up vsftpd [02:51] and the Promise does tell me the drives and there is 2 of them 60 gig's [02:51] berengal, did you look on the forums on how other people might've gotten it working? [02:52] hi === zelrikriando_ is now known as zelrikriando [02:52] !wow [02:52] Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [02:52] why use that crappy card at all? [02:52] question is how do i reset the visual players [02:52] fde, seen that one, must have writable permissions for "/" vsftpd doesnt allow that [02:52] even using those drivers its not better than a cheapo soundcard for 5 usd or so [02:52] hey can somebody explain me how i can make my computer to accept torrents? [02:52] dmraid -tay only shows now pdc_eeaahffdh: 0 240206080 striped 2 128 /dev/sda 0 /dev/sdb 0 [02:52] rexy_: Yeah, I did that. At first I couldn't get the drivers to compile, but after looking at the forums, and trying some of what they suggested, I got it to start compiling. That's when the whole thing froze [02:52] koro: please try what I said and see if the issue goes away... compiz and video's both will try to use the GPU, I suspect your GPU can't handle it. [02:53] gothicd3vil: what seems to be the problem? [02:53] berengal, well if it froze during compiling that indicates an other problem with your computer. if it froze when the module got inserted then the module itself is the problem [02:53] and dmraid -r shows /dev/sdb: pdc, "pdc_eeaahffdh", stripe, ok, 120103040 sectors, data@ 0 and /dev/sda: pdc, "pdc_eeaahffdh", stripe, ok, 120103040 sectors, data@ 0 [02:53] babolat everytime i download a torrent and i try to open it with azureus or transmition it said error ip [02:53] koyo001: please try what I said and see if the issue goes away... compiz and video's both will try to use the GPU, I suspect your GPU can't handle it. [02:53] rexy_: Not too sure about that. I wasn't paying much attention, so I don't know if it finished compiling [02:53] cached, where is your ftp root, ie folder to which users get in upon logging in? [02:53] koro: sorry [02:53] gothicd3vil: could you shoot me the prompt you get? [02:54] sure [02:54] let me open it [02:54] berengal: why use that thing at all? the driver is crap anyways, it doesnt offer anything your wouldnt get with a properly supported cheapo soundcard [02:54] berengal, well i'd try again and see if you can just get it to compile, just build as a normal user, then it cant try to insert stuff into the kernel [02:54] I have reinstalled and reinstalled, and tried different configurations, and different sub-pixel rendering solutions, but no matter what I do, the msttcorefonts fonts render really pixelated. How can I fix this? I recently installed FreeType 2.3.5, but I'm not sure the version that comes with Gutsy so I can restore that version. [02:54] just get some cheap soudncard with asupported chipset [02:54]  wirechief_: tried the dd command and system locked up same as with any other method-- 237mb out of 3g and now nothing works [02:54] rexy_: It won't even try to run the script if it isn't sudoed [02:54] someone can help me to install a atheros wireless card on hardy heron__ [02:55] ?? [02:55] mgolisch: I don't have a cheapo sound card :( I tried using the on-board one, but it's not working at all [02:55] eclectic: sounds like the disk is corrupted. [02:55] berengal, ah, then i dont know. you could try compiling something randomly else, but if you havent had any other weird crashes or hangups it's probably the driver causing it [02:55] has anyone used ddclient much? i was wondering if after installing it always ran in background or what [02:55] !wireless | ricardo__ [02:55] ricardo__: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [02:55] mgolisch: Not even in windows, where I know it used to work [02:55] ricardo__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=38972 [02:55] i tried the compiz [02:55] the only thing i did was when the Promise fast Buil Utility boots up i deleted the raids and created them again and linux can not mount them anymore.Can someone please help. [02:55] still crashes [02:55] babolat in tracker status it said error but in download still on 0 [02:55] rexy_: I just finished compiling the linux kernel, so at least that worked [02:55] tanks [02:55] an another think [02:55] i had to do that to them because they were telling me Offline before [02:55] Hello [02:56] i need to erase the memory or something [02:56] rexy_: And, well, I am writing code most of the time, and didn't have any problems... [02:56] koyo001: are these video's flash? [02:56] berengal, yeah guess it's not the machine then. But dont use a custom kernel unless you really know what you are doing, ubuntu does a lot of stuff with it behind the screens [02:56] but now its telling me Functional [02:56] gothicd3vil: and you are definitet that the torrent isn't poisoned or what? [02:56] em, maybe where i canf find the steps too enable my aceleration card driver??? [02:56] no any type [02:56] is for an nvidia 700 [02:56] 7000 [02:56] let me try with another one [02:56] rexy_: Yeah, I was just trying to get to a state where I could use the internet and get some proper installer to patch the kernel for me. Recovery didn't allow that [02:56] because if i reboot then i am good with the players for a long while [02:57] rexy_: Anyway, if I use unetbootin to reinstall, will that wipe my whole previous install, or can it use old partitions? [02:57] wirechief_intel: do you mean the dvd disk? I explained in my forum post I tried many things. several disks do the same, but not on another machine, etc. [02:57] !nvidia | ricardo__ [02:57] ricardo__: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:57] I have browsed the web for days to get my BCM 4310 working in Hardy. Now it FINALLY works, however, I can see all wireless networks in range, but cannot connect to my own. Can anyone help me please??? [02:57] ricardo__, both of those issues should be in your System>Administration> Hardware Drivers> restricted drivers [02:58] eclectic: ok well maybe not the disk but the cdrom is funked [02:58] berengal, you can use old partitions and install over them, just do manual partitioning, though it's probably a good idea to clean out the / and just keep the data in your home directory and maybe some in var or etc [02:58] thanks [02:58] is the hostname just the name of the computer? [02:58] excuse i-m just a begginer [02:58] tyler, yup [02:58] coldopm: Does it connect without WPA enabled? [02:58] tyler: are you on desktop or server? [02:58] can anyone help me manage the memory the the players use [02:58] I have reinstalled and reinstalled, and tried different configurations, and different sub-pixel rendering solutions, but no matter what I do, the msttcorefonts fonts render really pixelated. How can I fix this? I recently installed FreeType 2.3.5, but I'm not sure the version that comes with Gutsy so I can restore that version. [02:59] the drive works fine in my other machine and the drive from that machine does the same thing in problem machine [02:59] rexy_: I was hoping it could just make a new kernel, but okay. I can live with that. [02:59] coldopm: or, alternatively, have you told it your WPA password? [02:59] babolat was the torrent, thanks [02:59] fde: To be honest I don't know how to login to my router. 192.168.0.1 does not work... [02:59] gothicd3vil: thought so ;) [02:59] ricardo__, no worries, we all were at one time (i'm still there :-)) [02:59] babolat: desktop [02:59] berengal, it's not impossible that the drivers need something not in the ubuntu kernel, but that seems unlikely [02:59] coldopm, try 192.168.1.1 [02:59] coldopm: 192.168.1.1 perhaps [02:59] babolat: but i wanna set up file sharing so i can access the files on my vista computer [02:59] fde: Yes I input password from network manager and it just wont connect. No pass error or anything.. [02:59] lol fde [02:59] please someone how do i recover my RAID? [03:00] rexy_: They should've told me in that case... stupid drivers :P Going to try the reinstall now [03:00] then your hostname is your pc's name [03:00] coldopm: your password will be in the docs for the wireless [03:00] problems with video players [03:00] berengal, you can just reinstall the kernel [03:00] coldopm: then you can define a password that NetworkManager will need to use. [03:00] fde: I know my pass, and it prompts for it when I try to connect [03:00] if you get it booting through the rescue console at least [03:00] babolat: thanks [03:00] if someone knows something about this [03:00] coldopm, do a ifconfig and the default gateway is usually your router's addy [03:00] would love to solve this [03:01] seaphor: ty [03:01] Question: Anyone who uses VLC know how you can make it so that only 1 instance of it is running? [03:01] !enter | koyo001 [03:01] koyo001: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:01] Anyone know where NetworkManager keeps its logs? [03:01] koyo001, whats the problem? [03:01] fde, err messages or syslog [03:01] rexy_: How do I reinstall the kernel from the rescue console? [03:01] rexy_: Nothing dedicated by default? [03:01] coldopm, np, let me know if i can help further [03:01] fde: However I know my pass, my network manager simply will not connect, to my network or any of the 3 unsecured networks in my building... [03:01] fde, not to my knowledge [03:01] anyone? [03:01] babolat: do i share with nfs or smb???? [03:02] berengal, actually if you can get to the rescue prompt that means your kernel is fine [03:02] shall i delete the RAID in Promise fast Build Utility then i can rebuild it in Linux? [03:02] usser: they keep crashing after a while of using them then i need to reboot to get them operating normally again [03:02] coldopm: Does 'dmesg | tail -n15' tell why at all ? [03:02] berengal, well most likely unless it has overwritten certain files [03:02] tyler: apples to oranges i guess [03:02] rexy_: Okay, then how do I make it not load the X-Fi drivers [03:02] hello, how to mount my other hard disk through console?? i can do it using mount command but uses 'sudo' which leads to root permission to new disk.. any solution?.. (In Gnome, we can simply double click the disk from Places Menu).. [03:02] <]5[> ...eh? [03:02] koyo001, is compiz on? do you have intel video card? [03:03] tyler:I know NFS has some security problems in the design. Since the security is IP based, IP spoofing could be a problem. Also a hacker might be able to access files with a special program, and guessing file handle numbers. [03:03] babolat: WHAT does that mean [03:03]  wirechief_intel: the drive works fine in my other machine and the drive from that machine does the same thing in problem machine [03:03] intel videocard pretty sure i do [03:03] im having a problem with my video drivers...after i boot and log in, my screen turns black and says out of range [03:03] berengal, not sure , if you can boot the rescue console look in /etc/modprobe.d if the drivers are listed there somewhere [03:03] babolat: I dont care that much....ill be behind my own router so im not that concerned [03:03] fde: not at this time cuz I am hardwired with my only rj45 [03:03] tyler: NFS is faster, SMB makes it easier to deal with Windows... both accomplish the same thing. [03:03] isnt smb just for dos or something.... [03:03] koyo001, what about compiz? is it running when you watch videos? [03:03] tyler: it simply means whichever works for you. if something breaks or performs poorly then we fix it. [03:04] eclectic:dam sounds like the cable or controller card is in trouble. [03:04] hi [03:04] I have reinstalled and reinstalled, and tried different configurations, and different sub-pixel rendering solutions, but no matter what I do, the msttcorefonts fonts render really pixelated. How can I fix this? I recently installed FreeType 2.3.5, but I'm not sure the version that comes with Gutsy so I can restore that version. [03:04] <]5[> so i should install both fglrx and radeon? how would i do this? just put them both on there? [03:04] eclectic: check the cable [03:04] coldopm: ok... that's why I chose 15... because it'll go back a fair amount of messages. [03:04] <]5[> (along with vga and vesa i wouldent doubt...) [03:04] ]5[, those are two different drivers, mutually exclusive as well [03:04] usser: i just turned it off (compiz) [03:04] tyler: if you're really interested, here's a conversation worth listening into -->http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/mailarchive/9911/msg00282.html [03:04] !ati ]5[ [03:04] Factoid ati ]5[ not found [03:04] Anyone know how to make it so that only one instance of VLC is running at a time and not 2 [03:04] eclectic: check the cable make sure it is seated on both ends [03:04] <]5[> !ati [03:04] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [03:05] so if im sharing to vista i should do smb over nfs?

[03:05] fde: I have read that Hardy network manager has some issues, just wondering if maybe I should reset my rotuers defaults and leave it unsecure for now till I get it working. PS any idea how I can check to ensure my essid is not hidden? [03:05] err ?=. [03:05] can someone tell me how i can force my X to use the intel driver instead of the vesa driver? [03:05] koyo001, what player do u use? [03:05] tyler: SMB/CIFS is the default in Windows for file sharing, they hate common standards :/ [03:05] rexy_: No, can't see anything, really...

I booted fine off the live cd into ubuntu and looked around without installing anything. Afterwards I clicked shutdown, but at the end of the sequence an error message kept trailing down a black screen in white (I can’t remember what it said). Having no choice, I pressed the power button on the case to turn it off. I took out the cd, and tried [03:09] coldopm: right click the computer monitors in the panel > "Edit Wireless Networks" and configure your connection correctly. [03:09] koyo001, right in vlc go to settings->preferences->video->output modules and change default to X11, thats the only one that worked for me with intel and compiz [03:09] babolat: no nothing was running [03:09] xborgy: how will gnome do it without having that entry in fstab..? [03:09] Could someone help me with my flash in FireFox [03:09] fde: no wireless networks appear when I open the edit screen [03:10] Computer|Nerd: ff3b5? [03:10] <^Tech-Help^> a live cd is not going to "screw" up your pc Ninjavidual, thats the beauty of LiveCDs [03:10] koyo001: oh ok. no more ideas from here. [03:10] babolat ff3b5??

[03:11] babolat yes [03:11] Computer|Nerd: which flashplugin do you have? [03:11] coldopm: Strange... it doesn't appear to have an "Add" here either >:| [03:11] Shockwave Flash [03:11] babolat Shockwave Flash [03:11] Computer|Nerd: flashplugin-nonfree? [03:11] ^Tech-Help^: that what i thought. only other possibility is that the grafifics card happened to die at the exact same moment that the live cd tried to shut down. very unlikley. [03:11] fde: yes [03:11] fde, he has the BCM43xx, cant remember the link... but theres a how-to [03:11] coldopm: it's setup in System > Administration > Network correctly?

[03:12] hi why changing the mouse pointer in appearance doesnt apply the new mouse icon? [03:12] ^Tech-Help^: like what? [03:12] Computer|Nerd: you can check for sure via Synaptic Package Manager. flashplugin-nonfree works best as many would claim [03:12] metanil: when i installed Ubuntu Studio i made my user as a admin as well so [03:12] <^Tech-Help^> Ninjavidual its really hard to say with cd-roms [03:12] xborgy: oh [03:13] computer nerd:or visit a web site that requires flash [03:13] fde: I know I can edit settings in there if I turn off roaming tho [03:13] i have to edit it manually in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme and restart X ?? [03:13] i want to add another OS to my system. is there any way to resize a LUKS encrypted partition (to a smaller size?) or should i just back up the data and repartition from scratch? [03:13] coldopm: then do that... heh... see if that works. [03:13] ^Tech-Help^: a faulty cd rom drive should not stop a pc from showing a bios screen at least, on boot up.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [03:14] fde: bye for now [03:14] babolat yes, I have flashplugin-nonfree, but it greys everything that is flash and puts a little play button in a circle that I click to play the flash. Also, it works with sites like YouTube, but it doesn't work with others like games or Ustream.tv [03:14] coldopm: alright, I need to set it up here, then I'd be more helpful, heh [03:14] croddy: i had Ubuntu Studio installed on one 120 gig drive today and i wanted another OS to dual boot on that and all you do is boot up that cd for the new OS and it will allow you to create the partitions and it leaves your other OS intact and nothing gets harmed also it places dual boot options automaticly in GRUB [03:14] who here has wow running?

FYI, a separate installation of firefox-2 works on Hardy ;) [03:15] thx [03:15] #winehq [03:15] Hi, anyone knows about the mouse wheel, scrolling through the Desktop applet in the Gnome panel, which doesn't work anymore? The ctrl-alt-arrows shortcuts work. [03:15] levi_: /j #winehq ... heh, sorry [03:15] Ubuntu-8.04 beta2 [03:15] babolat, ok, I will [03:15] i dont know anything about LUKS but it should work [03:15] usser: seems to have worked [03:15] levi_, or #cedega, or #crossover [03:15] croddy, you're better of looking in the LUKS documentation, if i had to guess i'd say encrypted filesytems dont cope very well with being resized [03:15] ^Tech-Help^: so what can i try now? [03:15] shimanoid: Update completely, see if its fixed in the final [03:16] Flannel: ty [03:16] Flannel: do you think I could recompile Gnome by myself?

[03:16] koyo001, right but theres limitations to that renderer, full screen doesnt work properly [03:16] Without posting !install, can anyone help me with an install from linux issue? [03:16] i was wondering how you can allow remote desktop connections into your virtualbox pc (im running xp on my virtualbox pc) [03:16] shimanoid: you shouldn't be compiling anything [03:16] So... when I open the run window and type ~/blah/blah it doesn't work lol but in a term the command works.. any reason why that is? [03:16] Flannel, instead of reinstalling the whole OS [03:16] koyo001, yea almost all of players have an option to choose the renderer [03:16] how can i stop gdm from starting? i have screwed up the config and i can't use the alt-f-keys to get to a console once i'm in [03:16] shimanoid: you don't need to reinstall, who said anything about reinstalling? [03:17] koyo001, do u use Ubuntu gutsy btw?

[03:25] Is there a GUI for SELinux configuration? [03:25] zelrikriando: Epiphany is always built against old gecko seems like, and has a limited plugin set... also usually feels slower, and webpages don't support it (at least with Firefox, you can pretend it's IE on XP etc) [03:25] My firefox stoped working it always freezed so i want to uninstall it a then reinstall but it wont let me uninstall what do i do [03:25] serrato for linux anyone know if it works??

It still grays things out! [03:26] 3 [03:26] wirechief_ 3 [03:26] inertial: yes... xephyr is nice... it's basically xnest-ng ... but xnest is far simpler. [03:27] heartsblood: locally?

Grub is now failing as well. Error 15 [03:28] fde: have you had it working with a dual head graphics card before?

[03:34] what do i do in the synapptic manager [03:34] taurusivy: add a deb-src line for hardy and 'sudo apt-get -b source libgtk2.0-0' [03:34] fde: what do i do in the synapptic manager [03:34] randal you may need to enable the multiuniverse source [03:35] wha [03:35] what [03:35] rexy: nope buddy its not muted [03:35] taurusivy: That will have it build for you from the hardy version, so you don't have to start from scratch. [03:35] and thanks for replying [03:35] What [03:35] randal: idk... what are you trying to do? [03:35] tell me in noob form [03:35] to reinstall firefox it wont work [03:35] randal in the synaptic you need to set the multi-universe [03:35] Well what do you know. A debian 3.0 install cd... [03:35] hello, was the tasklist feature removed from the clock applet in the panel? [03:35] wirechief_intel: Why? Firefox is in main. [03:36] whats the easiest way to determine somebodies gfx chip? They're using an onboard gfx chip on an intel 915 board but I'm not getting much information about the chip itself from intels site [03:36] heartsblood, lspci [03:36] wirechief_how [03:36] berengal: mmm... 4 year old software. [03:36] fde he needs to set his snaptic sources [03:36] fde, it doesn't show up in synaptic package manager [03:36] ty [03:36] berengal: That's Debian Woody, released in 2003 [03:36] fde: Yeah. Now to get it to boot windows again, so I can launch unetbootin [03:36] wirechief_ how do i set it to multi-universe [03:36] fde ok well not sure why he is not getting it. [03:36] ok so i added my smb shares for windows....should i also add nfs so i can share with another linux computer? [03:37] wirechief_intel: He just doesn't know how to use synaptic... [03:37] in addition to the sms [03:37] smb [03:37] fde: thanks for that, do i have to comment the dapper deb-src meanwhile? [03:37] randal: Settings > Repositories ... make sure the top 4 check boxes are checked. [03:37] they are [03:37] fde do you get that? [03:37] taurusivy: no, but they will be ignored cuz the hardy version is newer. [03:38] Computer|Nerd: what doesnt? [03:38] randal make that sudo apt-get install firefox-3 [03:38] fde, gnash [03:38] taurusivy: when it's done, comment the hard source. [03:38] fde: that will make it much easier,.. [03:38] I have reinstalled and reinstalled, and tried different configurations, and different sub-pixel rendering solutions, but no matter what I do, the msttcorefonts fonts render really pixelated. How can I fix this? I recently installed FreeType 2.3.5, but I'm not sure the version that comes with Gutsy so I can restore that version. [03:38] Computer|Nerd: Search > "Gnash" returns nothing?

[03:39] no, it just returns as not installed [03:39] randal: Close synaptic before using apt-get [03:39] I know with nvidia cards you still have to use the closed source drivers to get any sort of 3d working. Is that the same for intel and if so what are the intel gfx driver packages? [03:39] Computer|Nerd: ok... does about:plugins work? [03:39] Computer|Nerd: ie, does it show flash being set up? [03:39] rexy_: i have no headphones section under the sound options buddy ...can u suggest me another method [03:40] fde: got it [03:40] hello all [03:40] ihcus, err maybe it's called differently, most volume controls you can find in there somewhere [03:40] fde: ??? [03:40] taurusivy: k... remember 'sudo apt-get -b source libgtk2.0-0' ... -b is build, and source is download the source... [03:40] randal: If you have synaptic open, close it and run the command again. [03:40] fde: what do i do [03:41] fde it shows shockwave flash as working, and when I disable it the gray boxes stop and it is just blank where there would usually be that box [03:41] rexy_: i have no headphones sections under volume control tooo [03:41] fde: ok, i kinda know this:) [03:41] fde: randal@Randal-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install firefox-3 [03:41] Reading package lists...

[03:41] wirechief_ i rebooted 3 times [03:41] is there a good partition copier out there for gtk? [03:41] ihcus, maybe it's called line out or something [03:42] fde no [03:42] randal do sudo apt-get update then do the sudo apt-get install firefox-3 [03:42] Computer|Nerd: does clicking on the grey area do anything? [03:42] fde: actually, what i wanna about libgtk2.10 or above version is for some dependency required by something else. [03:42] wirechief_intel: That will give the same issue. [03:42] ... debian just isn't going to help me. It can't find my sata drives, and want a floppy to remedy this... [03:42] rexy_: no buddy there is no such thing [03:42] fde unless he changed something.

I'm having you set up a deb-src for hardy because that's the version that has gtk 2.10.

Cuz that's not a normal setup. [03:46] see floodbot, that was a good ban [03:46] randal sounds like you have it installed [03:46] blind, xorg.conf doesnt have any driver info for me.. [03:46] actually, fde, can i ask you a question [03:46] theres a command to detect a monitors refresh rate isn't there? [03:46] but i wouldn't play around with that too much, devilsadvocate, unless you know what you're doing. use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in a console [03:46] Chipsa964: Sure. [03:46] heartsblood: no [03:46] wait... what driver info are you looking for? [03:47] Hi, how to install ubuntu 8.04 in vmware 6.5? it's stuck in loading screen [03:47] would you know how to fix a video driver so that my screen doesnt show "out of range" [03:47] heartsblood: It should be on the back of your monitor though. [03:47] wirechief_ i know im trying to reinstall because its f up [03:47] is it wise to upgrade to hardy at the moment? [03:47] fde I think that I what I did, when it said "install missing plugins" I think I installed the wrong one and don't know how to fix it [03:47] blind, dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg also doesnt ask any graphics related questions (except one about using the framebuffer) [03:47] Is this the right place to ask questions about Filezilla? On windows I can set the private key for an SFTP server but I do not see that option in Ubuntu version. Anyone has any suggestions? [03:47] zizica: Not an Ubuntu question, it's not in Ubuntu. [03:47] wirechief_ its not working propaly sound doesent work nothing works [03:47] wirechief_so i want to reinstall it [03:47] devilsadvocate: it doesn't give you the option for which slot to read and what driver to use? [03:47] blind, nope [03:48] because i activated my driver from the restricted drivers menu, and after it restarts, i can log in, but after that, the monitor turns black [03:48] Chipsa964: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg' [03:48] fde, -_____- ok, any vmware channel in this network?

[03:50] omg, stop spamming with ubotu!! [03:50] Hi. How do I change the resolution of the gdm to 1024*768@85Hz ? [03:51] fde: there is a command to see what the 'available' refresh rates are, and knowing whats on the back of the monitor does me little good when i'm not even in the same state [03:51] stephen it's usually video [03:51] taurusivy: libgtk2.0-0-dev IS headers. [03:51] I selected install ubuntu, and then the logo and loading bar showed. The loading bar then stops moving and sits there [03:51] go low res [03:51] fde: yeah, the dependency problem [03:51] fde i got rid of it and it works now! [03:51] almafudge ahh, ok what is the command for that? [03:51] astro76, any idea how to install? [03:51] or... [03:51] heartsblood: Then can't assist you, sorry. [03:51] alternative cd [03:51] ok I will try those [03:51] taurusivy: What dep issue? [03:51] wirechief_ how do i unistall it [03:52] quick question: anybody here got quickcam communicate working in ubuntu 8.04 [03:52] ? [03:52] randal sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox 3.0 [03:52] almafudge: yes [03:52] fde, what do you want me to do after sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [03:52] almafudge: it works out of the box... just use it via Ekiga or aMSN... remember it's v4l 1 not 2 though. [03:53] cool [03:53] Chipsa964: set it up correctly... or hit enter if you don't know the answer. [03:53] why doesn't it show up as usb? [03:53] almafudge: It does... [03:53] wirechief_ DO YOU know why it wasent working you spelt the code rong [03:53] oh [03:53] fde, i just basically set everything as autodetect [03:53] then i think i killed the cam when i dropped it. [03:53] almafudge: plug it in and type 'lsusb' [03:53] ok [03:53] StephenF: not enough memory could do it; if there's 512 MB RAM or more than you have no worries [03:53] let me try right now. [03:53] Chipsa964: ok... did it fix your issue? [03:54] yes, i can get back to my screens, but my resolution sucks [03:54] I installed fglrx and now the initial display ( kdm) has a worng resolution. How do change it? [03:54] almafudge: also, when it's plugged in, type 'lsmod | grep gspca' ... that's your cam driver. [03:54] err, i can get past the login, but resolution is still bad [03:54] randal ok, so when you reinstall use the sudo apt-get install firefox 3.0 [03:54] hey folks, I have 2 xubuntu machines that i would like to network. how should I do that? [03:54] hi.. this new evolution (in hardy) can sync with google cal bidirectionally? [03:54] I need some help restoring my mbr [03:54] Chipsa964: You should have set that in the command I said. [03:55] wirechief_ the reinstall fixed the sound problem [03:55] Chipsa964: To force it, only pick the resolution you want... if it doesn't work then, it's not supported. [03:55] wirechief_ thank you [03:55] How do I reinstall grub? [03:55] fde: so, i'm not sure how to pass the headers path to the configure [03:55] berengal: install-grub /dev/hda (probably) [03:55] !fixmbr > berengal [03:55] taurusivy: It'll find it [03:55] randal great sorry it took so many key strokes but i dont use the firefox 3 anymore and each has its own syntax [03:55] thanks [03:56] fde: do i have to put the 2.10 headers to /usr/include to replace the old version? [03:56] i hear a lot of people have been having problems with 8.04 that they havent had with 7.10.... im not going to upgrade, people are comparing it to Microsofts blunders, Windows ME and Vista.... anyone here agree? [03:56] fde, it never asks me for a resolution [03:56] !offtopic [03:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:56] taurusivy: they should already be there... the configure script knows where to look though... [03:56] it asks me a bunch of stuff about my keyboard [03:56] Chipsa964: It should... don't have it auto-detect anything. [03:56] macd: btw, as far as ntop-equivalent goes, try darkstat or vnstat :) [03:56] ok [03:56] let me try that [03:56] Chipsa964: just hit enter if you don't know the right answer. [03:56] Okay, the thing is, I'm running a 6.0 live-cd with no X [03:57] apparantly it doesn't have install-grub [03:57] berengal: ok... then you need to mount the partitions, and set up a chroot ... then run grub-install inside that chroot. [03:57] fde, the only thing that asks me about video is the first one [03:58] berengal: Do you know how to set up a chroot? [03:58] the rest are about my keyboard [03:58] hi.. there are an #gnome or #evolution channel ? [03:58] My on-board linux is shot to pieces. I'd have to install one to chroot [03:58] fde: what if i wanna leave the old version in my dapper? [03:58] what's the best partition scheme: using different partitions for "/", "/boot", "/var", "/usr", "/tmp" or just a linux partition and a swap partition? [03:58] exit [03:58] Morph3us: /newserver irc.gimp.org ... #gnome [03:58] berengal: there are instructions in the pm ubottu sent you [03:59] fde: the use of 2.10 headers is temporary [03:59] thanks fde [03:59] Radit: A /, /home, and swap. [03:59] Radit, three is generally easiest: /, /swap, /home [03:59] danbhfive: Yeah, I'm looking at them now [03:59] Radit depends on what you want === c is now known as Charitwo === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [03:59] I really just need to be able to boot windows. I can reinstall hardy from there [03:59] taurusivy: it'll be replacing the old GTK... not like it'll break compiles or new software to keep it though :/ [04:00] Unless there's some command I can run to do that from here, which there probably is [04:00] A neighbor of mine is using Windoze XP. He forgot his admin password. I tried re-setting it with a Ubuntu live-CD using the "chntpw" application only to find out that it was not more in the Ubuntu repos. What application in the latest version of Ubuntu can I use to reset this WXP password? [04:00] Madpilot: Ha I beat you and I did it from home too. lol [04:00] berengal: I told you, you need to install grub again... [04:00] is there something new about terminal processes stopping when they go out of focus? [04:01] gNewPower: I don't know if Ubuntu has this but there are resources on Google. [04:01] gnewpower: Did you try downloading an OPHVrack Live CD? You can unencrypt the password that way. [04:01] *OPHcrack [04:01] I have 30 gigs of hd space.. i'm using gutsy right now and i'm going to wipe out my entire hd and use 30gb to install hardy.. [04:01] gNewPower: Restart the XP box into Recovery Mode, and it'll let you log into Administrator, rather than simply an admin account... then just change it or whatever [04:01] I lost like 9 hours worth of simulation time today because a simulation just stopped until I click on the window [04:01] schnauzer: OPHVrack Live CD? is that Ubuntu based? [04:01] gNewPower: Not an #ubuntu question though. [04:01] is it possible to use wget and save to desktop not the server i am running wget on ? [04:02] No, it is a Live CD mainly used for the purpose of recovering Windows passwords, nothing else. [04:02] Radit, with only 30GB, I´d recommend 8GB or 10 of /, the rest /home with a gig or two of /swap [04:02] yaris12346789: umm no you will have to run wget on the desktop to have the file saved [04:02] yaris12346789: Set up NFS and cd to the Desktop and wget that way. [04:02] !nfs [04:02] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [04:02] fde, even when i say no to autodetect, its only asking me stuff about my keyboard layout [04:03] It's pretty easy to use, though. [04:03] okay [04:03] thank you [04:03] schnauzer: thanks. I will get that! [04:03] does anybody here use on board intel gfx cards? [04:03] heartsblood: I sorta do [04:03] I have g15daemon installed via the ubuntu 8.04 repositories but the extra keys don't work (g1, g2, g3, etc.) nothing's happening when i press them in xev. i tried restarting the daemon and made sure uinput was loaded, no dice. any suggestions? [04:03] Yw yaris12346789 [04:03] fde: thanks, that is a very helpful pointer [04:04] no problem ;) [04:04] any ideas as to why the installer loses /dev/ram? [04:04] Kitche: do you have glx enabled? [04:04] MrObvious: if i use wget on this server, is it possible to use proxy ? [04:04] heartsblood: yes [04:04] Chipsa964: ugh, looks like Ubuntu changed it... you can add a Modes line to Xorg... [04:05] How do I set up a static IP on Hardy Heron? I've tried a couple guides, but so far all it seems to do is disable the system's connectivity. I think it probably has to do with my router. === Trevinyo is now known as Trevinho-{AwAy} [04:05] anyone know where pidgin stores it's passwords [04:05] yaris12346789: If you explain your situation better I could tell you. [04:05] gNewPower: Most XP machines don't actually show the admin account, and there is no password set at all... it's rather humorous. [04:05] Madilot: i will be making a separate partition for /home from the 30gb i'm going to allocate just for linux.. so 30gb will be exclusively for linux.. is using seperate partitions for /, /boot, /var, /usr, /tmp a good idea? [04:05] kitche: I'm having trouble getting an 82915 to work, did you have to edit your xorg.conf manually to get glx? [04:05] Xabriel: just set your router to give it a static ip [04:05] fde, can you tell me how to do that? [04:06] kitche, and what gfx driver are you using, kernel level or extra pacakge? [04:06] Radit, for a desktop system it's not really usefull doing tha [04:06] Radit, you can, but it´s a lot of extra setup. One partition for / should be OK [04:06] Radit: Honestly no. [04:06] MrObvious: i need to transfer specific files from a file storage, onto the current server i am working with. but if I connect too many times it will block my ip [04:06] heartsblood: well it's there it just might be commented out I use the i810 driver myself when I use the intel onboard [04:06] yaris12346789: Across the Internet? [04:06] yea [04:07] yo guys, i had sound in gnome, i log out, and log into kde, and everything says sound device is busy. what's up with that? [04:07] i810 driver? [04:07] fde: I dunno. I have not used Windoze since 2000. But my neighbor is stuck and I would like to help him out. Ubuntu used to have chntpwd and I suppose that there is a more recent application which works the same way === _Wiseguy is now known as Wiseguy [04:07] kindofabuzz, once I finally figgure out how, do I need to change any settings on the system itself? [04:07] my update manager freezes after i click on install updates... whats wrong? :( [04:07] Hello , anyone know where pidgin stores it's passwords [04:07] Radit you have to give so much to / [04:07] jason, the sound daemon from gnome probably still has the device open, or the pulseaudio server and kde might not be setup to use that [04:07] kitche: ok thanks [04:07] your WRONG rexy_ [04:07] it was muted, my bad :P [04:07] yaris12346789: Can you ZIP everything or make a tarball and just transfer that? [04:07] haha, sorry man === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [04:08] Xabriel: no, not if your router gives a static, your system is still dhcp [04:08] rexy_, no offense, honestly. [04:08] MrObvious: no i do not have root over the file storage [04:08] hey folks, I have 2 xubuntu machines that i would like to network. how should I do that? [04:08] kindofabuzz, ok, thanks [04:08] jason_1, it's ok [04:08] Chipsa964: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11598/ [04:08] hmm.. how about if later i decide to switch back to gutsy and i've already downloaded and installed alot of programs, if i just use a single partition for linux, wouldn't it be troublesome to do so? [04:08] Xabriel: but if you wanna do it on your system: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html [04:09] raket do you mean network the two machines together? [04:09] Radit, you cannot downgrade a distribution. [04:09] Chipsa964: You'll see the Screen section already, don't change anything, just make it look like that paste. === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [04:09] yaris12346789: Hmm that is a tough problem man. I don't know mn. [04:09] *man [04:09] rexy_: what a about reinstalling a distribution? [04:09] Radit, yeah that works [04:09] gNewPower: I still see chntpw ? [04:09] Byron1: I wanted to share a folder on each machine, that will be visible [04:10] my update manager isn't working please help! :( [04:10] Radit if you reinstall, the only thing you can keep is /home [04:10] pclynch: wana try the command line? [04:10] kindofabuzz; tried that. But afterward I have no connectivity. [04:10] Byron1: I already configured a little with the "shared folders" option [04:10] fde: I don't. if you do 'which chntpw' what do you get? [04:10] danbhfive: so partitioning /var, /usr and the others in a separate directory is useless? [04:11] fde, im really sorry for asking petty questions, but how do i get to editing Xorg? [04:11] Xabriel: you got something wrong then [04:11] gNewPower: It's not installed here, so I'd get nothing. [04:11] hi, can someone help me to create an Ad-Hoc connection in my wireless card in Ubuntu? [04:11] gNewPower: You have universe enabled? [04:11] yaris12346789: Well if you can't make a tarball even then you will be out of luck doing anythin else. Maybe someone can access the other end for you. [04:11] mrobvious is it possible to use proxy [04:11] Xabriel: what address do you want your system to have and what is your routers address? [04:11] with wget [04:11] Chipsa964: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:11] Can I reinstall Firefox 3 beta 5 as my password save does not appear!? [04:11] fde: so why did you say that it was this there? yes, I have universe [04:12] .0 [04:12] gNewPower: because it _IS_ there... doesn't mean I installed it, I have no need for it. [04:12] Radit: yes, there is an exception, for when you are custom installing non-free software, BUT, Ive only heard about that, and if you were really doing that, you wouldn't be asking this room what to do :P [04:12] does anyone know anonmyous proxies i can use [04:12] fde, thanks [04:12] Byron1, any ideas? [04:12] scribawf_: yes but see if the option for the password manager is unchecked in the options first [04:12] yaris12346789: I honestly don't know. It depends how strict the proxy is. If you want you can try TOR. [04:12] Hello , anyone know where pidgin stores it's passwords....etc/shadow ?? [04:12] fde: of course. can you see it in apt-cache search? [04:12] *Tor [04:12] kindofabuzz; I don't have a particular address in mind, I'm just trying to get samba working. And I'm not entirely sure what my router's address is [04:12] what is Tor ? [04:12] gNewPower: no, I'm just telling you its there to make fun of you :/ [04:12] what is the ip ? [04:12] Radit: again, most only do swap / and /home [04:12] !tor [04:12] TOR is a project aiming to provide anonymous connections via specialized !proxies - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR for information and help - Note that TOR is blocked on most Ubuntu IRC channels, please see !hostmask and !tor-gpg [04:12] Kitche: the key was the i810 driver, ty! [04:13] kitche; yes I have done that and am sure it is checked [04:13] Xabriel: well there's the problem, you probably had the broadcast wrong and all that [04:13] Starnestommy: Thanks lol [04:13] gNewPower: note it's 'chntpw' no d [04:13] fde: thanks. very funny indeed. [04:13] Xabriel: put 192.168.1.1 into your browser, do you get your router? [04:13] pclynch: que pasa? [04:13] sc006: /home//.purple/accounts.xml [04:13] Xabriel: or 192.168.10.1 [04:13] After upgrading to 8.04 Hardy, my sound has been broken - does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? [04:14] rakit try http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/ [04:14] gNewPower: That was just me sarcastically telling you yes apt-cache show chntpw works [04:14] How can I start an extra x-session on a different monitor on second (PCI-) vga card (in same machine of course) ? It's meant to be a workaround to triple screen wich won't go; other card is nvidia with two screens twinview) [04:14] fde: thanks. that is really witty. you're a pro. [04:14] hi, can someone help me to create an Ad-Hoc connection in my wireless card in Ubuntu?? [04:14] danbhive: i have 30gigs of space, how about: 28 gigs for / 2gigs fro swap? [04:14] kindofabuzz; I have a 2wire router/modem, I have to use http://gateway.2wire.net/ to get to my router [04:14] Starnestommy, thank you very much [04:14] gNewPower: *bows* [04:15] ghindo: We could help if you say how it doesn't work and what chipset you have. [04:15] anyone running some custom themes for kde? some wild different, but acceptable look? [04:15] danbhive: or 30 gbs - ( 100mb "/boot" + 3gb "/" + 6gb "/var" + 10gb "/usr" + 1gb "/tmp" + 2gb "swap") [04:15] kindofabuzz; which is partly the reason I don't know my router's IP [04:15] Radit how about 20g for /home 8g for / and 2g for swap [04:15] Xabriel: never heard of that, hmm, well go to that router page and look for a psection to set static ip's by MAC [04:15] danbhive I would save something for /home [04:15] Xabriel: 192.168.1.1 works on my 2Wire at home. [04:15] there ya go [04:15] Is there any way to "force permissions"? If I edit a file in a directory it defaults back to normal permissions, I want to to alway stay chmod 777 [04:16] Radit, for home use, you really don´t need a huge pile of partitions like that... [04:16] MrObvious: I have an Intel chipset (not sure which) and I get no sound whatsoever. Not only that, but when I try to play songs in Rhythmbox, they don't even begin to play [04:16] Hey guys, Im a bit confused about something important. Can Ubuntu (lilo or grub) boot to a software RAID5 drive? --I know that the boot loader cant read the data if its more than RAID1, so I created a separate partition with /boot as RAID1 ... [04:16] hello? [04:16] MrObvious, no dice :/ [04:16] Hi ubuntujunkie107 [04:16] Xabriel: Try 0.1 [04:16] danbhfive: im currenty on gutsy, and i set up 8gb for / and i only have about 300mb of free space.. [04:16] can somebody help me with my wubi install problem? [04:17] !ask | ubuntujunkie107 [04:17] ubuntujunkie107: 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. :-) [04:17] ubuntujunkie107: depends, what is the issue? [04:17] !ask| ubuntujunkie107 [04:17] danbhfive: im currenty on gutsy, and i set up 8gb for / and i only have about 300mb of free space left.. [04:17] MrObvious, that didn't work either [04:17] When you set up / don't all your programs go into /usr [04:17] here i will copy the text [04:17] Xabriel: try 100.1 [04:17] Radit I don't know whats going on, what happened to 30g?

[04:17] fde, ok, i changed those lines in xorg [04:18] now what should i do? [04:18] Xabriel: I tried. Do a ping to gateway.2wire.com and see what the IP is.

[04:18] Chipsa964: wait [04:18] Chipsa964: Please pastebin that section for me to check first :) [04:18] ok [04:18] fde: no.. i just have alot of programs installed.. [04:18] babolat thanks for the tip [04:19] Xabriel: Or look at ifconfig at your default gateway if you don't have another router. [04:19] Bye everyone. [04:19] Radit: It won't remove any... it'll just clean your apt cache... [04:19] hhmmm this is strange [04:19] Chipsa964: what is? [04:19] Xabriel: try 192.168.1.254 [04:19] anyone willing to help with update manager problems? i really need to update and it won't. I need fixes for 8.04 :( please help [04:19] after i save it, and i try to get back into it again, that section changed back [04:19] camera worked but no audio?

[04:20] danbhfive: currently my gutsy install is 8gb for the / partition, i'm planning on swiping my hd and doing a clean hardy install; i'm going to allocate 30gb just for linux.. [04:20] here is my pastebin url : http://paste.ubuntu.com/11599/ [04:20] oops [04:20] Radit most all your personal settings go into /home. It also is set so that you have full access to it. Where as everything else goes into / [04:20] #I just cre [04:20] hey i got the webcam logitech to work... but no audio... [04:20] Radit how big is your current /home [04:20] aaa! stupid irc. too used to bash :) [04:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11599/ [04:20] Chipsa964: heh... try again, and ensure you do 'sudo gedit' [04:20] me ~, su ~ [04:21] fde: there is no "error" the manager simply "crashes" after hitting install updates. I think it crashes when it tries to bring up authorization [04:21] one moment, ubuntujunkie107 [04:21] Radit this is a simplex discription [04:21] okay thanks [04:21] Is there any way to "force permissions"? If I edit a file in a directory it defaults back to normal permissions, I want to to alway stay chmod 777 [04:21] hey guys [04:21] sorry its so long [04:21] weird, but anyway, it stayed changed this time :-p [04:21] danbhfive: only 3.7mbs [04:21] whats the command to kill a hidden adept manager? [04:21] kindofabuzz, MrObvious, 192.168.1.254 worked [04:21] kitche:the manager simply "crashes" after hitting install updates. I think it crashes when it tries to bring up authorization [04:21] wont let me start it up [04:21] :D [04:21] Xabriel: cool, google is your friend [04:21] brb [04:21] i have a pc ubuntu problem... when i leave it on for too long... it freezes on me. [04:21] pclynch: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade <-- return any errors? [04:22] ati video card [04:22] turned off all powermanagement. [04:22] pclynch: start "update-manager" in a terminal and see what happens [04:22] kindofabuzz, MrObvious, thanks for the help guys :) [04:22] I have bad news about the Gutsy alternate install .iso. The lib6-i686 package is screwed up and the base install fails. [04:22] Radit no way, what do you have installed? thats a huge install. I have a regular install, plus webserver stuff, and Im at like 3.5g, but my /home is like 20g [04:22] Has anyone else had audio problems in Hardy? [04:22] ghindo - yea with my usb cam... [04:22] Except for that, it appears to be be able to do a rollback from Hardy to Gutsy. [04:22] danbhfive: how do you get the size your /home? [04:22] babolat u still there? [04:22] does anybody have that freeze problem too? [04:22] ubuntujunkie107: [04:23] ghindo, yeah... much... sound card won't work at all [04:23] node357 have you been able to fix it? [04:23] danbhfive: just right click on the folder and see what size it is right? [04:23] so, anybody's pc freezing when you leave it on for hours? [04:23] radit, danhive you guys want to discuss this in #ubuntu-offtopic with me? [04:23] Radit there is a disk usage analyzer program. Im not sure how to do it by CLI [04:23] fde, httP://paste.ubuntu.com/11600 [04:23] ghindo, no I haven't... there are drivers around but they won't compile on Hardy [04:23] hey fde... did you get audio from the logitech? [04:23] ubuntujunkie107: you may just want to uninstall Wubi and try installing it again. Of course, you'll want to remove those MBR rewrite programs you installed first [04:23] Chipsa964: no... you were supposed to change the values inside <> 's [04:24] are there any tricks to make aptitude start faster? takes 5-10 seconds for me [04:24] kindofabuzz; knowing that; how should my setup from http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html look? [04:24] oh no 5 seconds!! [04:24] anyone know how to make custom ubuntu boot screens? [04:24] sparr: hardly a problem that is [04:24] fde, haha i guess I took what you said to literally [04:24] node357: Unfortunate :( [04:24] alma: nope... never cared to really, I just use a regular mic... [04:24] *too [04:24] oh [04:24] ok then i'll just backup my drivers and settings to my sandisk babolat thanks [04:24] lwizardl: www.gnome-art.org [04:24] ok [04:24] Anyone? :/ [22:19:47] Does anyone know if LILO / GRUB will boot with a RAID1 /boot partition and a RAID5 / partition? (all software raid..) [04:24] i'll get one.. thanks fde [04:24] danbhfive: do you mind going to #ubuntu-offtopic? [04:24] babolat: maybe for you. i might start it a dozen times in one day [04:25] so, anybody's pc freeze with ubuntu after screensaver stays on for too long? [04:25] babolat, thanks [04:25] mm_202: hmm well I do know most like /boot to not be part of a raid system [04:25] mm_202 try using vista bootloader its way more compatible with linux [04:25] hello? [04:25] i've heard grub is glitchy [04:25] wont let me start it up [04:25] whats the command to kill a hidden adept manager? [04:25] Chipsa964: I stated there was already a Section "Screen" ... you're not going to change much of those values... you're going to add the SubSection that includes Modes [04:25] ubuntuwhere'd you hear that?? [04:25] ubuntujunkie107: ugh? Vista boot loader?? [04:26] huh* [04:26] ubuntujunkie107: where'd you hear that?? [04:26] ah i see [04:26] o0Chris0o: sudo killall adept_manager [04:26] mm_202: even if it were possible, and I suspect it is, I can't see that it would be a good idea. [04:26] I'm having problems getting any graphics card drivers to work. ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro [04:26] that doesnt work, there is a nother way [04:26] anybody's pc freeze after screen saver is on for too long? [04:26] never mind its just that ubuntu's grub is glitchy [04:26] I can't seem to find it when I am google [04:26] Ecclesiastes: really? Man I ask wh? [04:26] why* [04:26] sparr: no offense meant. aptitude simply *is*... [04:26] ubuntukunkie107: how is it glitchy? [04:26] alma, I've always had that problem. I disable screenssavers [04:26] geeze. May* I ask why* ? [04:27] all or just 3d? [04:27] node357? [04:27] alma, any one [04:27] is it possible to run a 64bit linux on a pentium D? [04:27] ok - so how do we save the screen from burn in> [04:27] mm_202: ok, specifically RAID 5, can you see trying to do a boot while one of the partitions is failing? [04:27] * fde always considered software raid a nasty avoidable hack. [04:27] alma, turn off monitor when not in use [04:27] make a habit of it [04:27] Use Hardware RAID if you require RAID... [04:28] wow... back in the dark ages... what's next ... floppies? [04:28] lol [04:28] lol [04:28] Damn straight [04:28] with some things alma, nothing has changed [04:28] Ecclesiastes: the boot partition is RAID1 across 4 drives. So whats wrong with that? [04:28] Some of those 5" bad boys. [04:28] ubuntu 8.04... the next generation of floppy networks... [04:28] I had system freeze with GNOME screensavers years ago and they still happen [04:28] hah yeah [04:28] sneaker net 2.0 [04:28] alma: it's either an X Window flaw, or one with compiz. why care for a screensaver when you have power management options? [04:28] alma: He is offering a workaround... mine is: turn off compiz and/or don't use 3D screensavers... [04:28] i don't use compiz... fails on wide screen dual monitor... [04:28] oh right.. doesn't X blank the screen after a while anyway? [04:28] so babolat how would I go about uninstalling grub and vista loader...i had some bootloader files left over from Feisty and they show up when booting to vista [04:28] fde: Yes, I know. I would of but my dumb friend ordered a $350 3Com (?) RAID Controller but for PCI-X, not PCI nor PCI-E... [04:29] i thought maybe powermanagement was the problem... [04:29] ubuntujunkie107: reinstall grub via LiveCD [04:29] i'll use that instead of screensaver then... [04:29] whats the command to kill a hidden adept manager? I can't remember the code [04:29] alma: Normal screensavers won't negatively effect anything... just the 3D ones if your graphics card can't handle it. [04:29] fde, i cant seem to remember what the "Device" is... [04:29] ok [04:29] hello, i m using ubuntu 8.04 and i cant seem to get to the computers on the network, and i cant share files...help psl :} [04:29] grub will override vista loader? [04:29] Chipsa964: what is the card? [04:30] o0Chris0o: I guess ps -elf gives you all the current processes [04:30] mm_202: and how are you going to handle the swap space? [04:30] Ecclesiastes: well I guess I'll find out in about an hour... [=========>...........] recovery = 46.9% (146606720/312311552) finish=54.4min speed=50688K/sec [04:30] ubuntujunkie107: or if you wish to remove unused or undesired entries from grub, do sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:30] i'll try none 3d first.. .if that dont work - then powermanagement... then if that don't work... turn off by hand. [04:30] thanks. [04:30] nvidia [04:30] Chipsa964: that is the driver [04:30] Ecclesiastes: using LVM on the RAID5 partition. [04:30] Chipsa964: thus the Device [04:30] okay thanks [04:30] Chipsa964: Actually, did you install the proprietary drivers? Else it'll be nv [04:30] im going to try reinstalling hardy [04:31] mm_202: His BIOS should support it, else he should take it back. [04:31] hey guys how do i move AWN to my secondary monitor? [04:31] that seems to be the problem...when i install them and restart, my monitor goes black [04:31] !awn | charles|64 [04:31] charles|64: Avant Window Navigator, is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [04:31] Alright, I've got a nasty problem that I'd like to get resolved. If anyone can help, that would be awesome. Every time I install ATI drivers from anywhere that *claim* to work with my series of cards, I get a blank screen when I restart after the splash screen. Halp plox? [04:31] Chipsa964: Lets try with 'nv' for Device for now. [04:31] hello, i m using ubuntu 8.04 and i cant seem to get to the computers on the network, and i cant share files...help psl :} [04:31] babolat: removing the item off of the grub menu will get rid of the kernel, as well? [04:31] ok [04:32] ghindo: no. it just makes grub turn a blind eye [04:32] thanks babolat [04:32] fde: nothing to do with the BIOS, its a completely different BUS architecture, and he ordered from some dude online. Anyone need a high-end server hw RAID controller? [04:32] fde, httP://paste.ubuntu.com/11601 [04:32] mm_202: if it's a big success, like with real results, I am easily swayed with facts. Best of luck, really. [04:32] babolat: then what's the point of removing it form the GRUB menu? [04:32] can someone plz tell me how the hell you change text color in Xchat for windows [04:33] Bray: give out your ATI card specs so the room can see better you issue [04:33] ubuntujunkie107: preferances? [04:33] Ecclesiastes: Thank you. Since Ive been messing with this for 2 days (large drives), I might actually write a small tutorial about it... [04:33] Chipsa964: strange layout, but that _should_ get X started with that resolution... try logging out and back in now. [04:33] ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro AGP [04:33] ok [04:33] i know it doesn't say text color anywhere [04:33] how long has 8.04 been out and whats better abouit it then 7.10 [04:33] ghindo: because sometimes removing a particular OS does not edit the grub menu. it leaves crumbs. so manually removing them from grub is necessary [04:33] local colors? === MIDIval is now known as Invisible [04:33] xchat sux, kvirc ftw! =) [04:34] ross`: it's about 6 months more up to date... [04:34] <|ns|nR8> when i enabled nvidia propriety driver i get blank screen after splash at next boot...any ideas...its a laptop with geforce fx 5200go [04:34] 256MB [04:34] ross`: it's been out since 24th.. look for Hardy Releasenotes === Invisible is now known as V_invisible [04:34] well i have dial-up so i chose xchat because of its small file size [04:34] ross` It's only been out about a month and it has more up-to-date drivers, more available software, etc. [04:34] ross`: FOSS moves _quickly_ ... but if Gutsy works for you, it's still supported for a year. [04:34] ubuntujunkie107: use irssi [04:35] how long was gutsy the new version for [04:35] ross`: irssi for a n00b? great advice [04:35] ross`: 6 months [04:35] fde, should i install the proprietary drivers too? [04:35] ross: 6 months a new release is made [04:35] that what i thought [04:35] !hardy [04:35] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [04:35] ubuntujunkie107: i really uggest irssi [04:35] if i have a text file containing long list of files i want to download...is there a program that will read this and dl it one by one ? [04:35] itss not hard and it runs in shell [04:35] which makes it simple [04:35] and awesome [04:35] okay okay i will try it later [04:35] Chipsa964: Lets get this out the way first.... if you want faster graphics then we can after [04:36] can some one tell me how to set up file sharing on ubuntu hardy [04:36] ross`: shell is intimidating for most coming from another OS [04:36] fde: are yuo kidding [04:36] fde: i prefer shell then a gui.. [04:36] ross`: No. Hang out in here for a while and you'll see. [04:36] shell is simple, effective and precise. with no ditraction [04:36] ross` generally noobs prefer a gui... [04:36] yaris12346789: wget -i filename [04:36] babolat: Any ideas? [04:36] yaris12346789: filename containing urls you want to download [04:37] fde, its still at 800x600 [04:37] yes [04:37] ok [04:37] i couldnt live without shell, in fact me and a friend are making out own [04:37] V_invisible: right click a folder you want to share... and choose "Sharing " ... when that's done, come back. [04:37] Bray: one moment. see what i can do [04:37] ubuntu has a pretty frustrating learning curve though [04:37] kk [04:37] well [04:37] I have bad news about the Gutsy alternate install .iso. The lib6-i686 package is screwed up and the base install fails. [04:37] i started on debian [04:37] Chipsa964: then the resolution you want isn't supported :( maybe try System > Preferences > Screen Resolution... what is listed there? [04:37] ubuntujunkie107: about as much of a learning curve as windows [04:37] astro76: will it attempt to dl it all at once [04:38] linux is way simpler then windows [04:38] astro76: also is it possible to use a proxy... [04:38] only 800x600 and 600x480 [04:38] ross`, fde is right, shell scares or confuses all n00bs coming from windows [04:38] ross`: Great, most are coming to Ubuntu from Windows out of curiosity. [04:38] Except for that, it appears to be be able to do a rollback from Hardy to Gutsy. [04:38] i was talking about the terminal and sh*tty driver support [04:38] mmm [04:38] !language | ubuntujunkie107 [04:38] ubuntujunkie107: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [04:38] i guess you woudnt call that a learning curve [04:38] * fde came from 6 years of Debian almost exclusively. [04:38] fde, yep done that [04:38] lol [04:38] brb afk [04:39] chipsa964: sorry if this isn't your problem, but have you edited your xorg.conf? [04:39] V_invisible: It installed Samba for you? [04:39] well i have only been using ubuntu for.. actually i cant remmeber when i started using it.. but less then 6 months and the point is its much easier to use then windows.. even the frst week i was using it [04:39] windows is jsut so.. windows >< [04:39] jerknextdoor, yeah, fde and i have worked on it [04:39] Bray, listen in on this conversation -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=546756 it might help [04:39] fde, i have samba installed already but dont know how to work it [04:39] Windows makes me want to cry, that's why I hate that I have to use it at the moment. [04:39] V_invisible: You should have gotten an error at this point so far though... once you've seen the error about no permissions, then tell me again :) [04:39] It's really variable from person to person - if you've used Windows for a long time, then it's harder to switch. If you're familiar with other OSes, it's not too hard [04:39] the only thing i use windows for is some gaming [04:40] Hooray for growing up on DOS! [04:40] but ubuntu has simproved alot in that area [04:40] lol [04:40] chipsa964: sorry just caught the tail end of your problem when i joined. [04:40] ubuntu is awesome...just wish i could play call of duty 4 on it [04:40] thats cool man [04:40] V_invisible: ok... sudo gedit /etc/group ... there is a group 'sambashare' ... add your username after the last : in that line [04:40] btfielder: have you looked at wine?> [04:40] jerknextdoor, i cant seem to find a resolution thats supported [04:40] not really [04:40] lol [04:40] btfielder: you should be able to play CoD4 on Wine... [04:40] btfielder: ou can play it on wine [04:40] V_invisible: then save and log out and back in... then try the share again... now it should work :) [04:40] ill give it a shot [04:40] 1280x1024 ran in windows, but i cant find one that is supported here [04:40] apt-get install wine [04:40] is it gpl? [04:41] btfielder: yes [04:41] guess so [04:41] doesn't cod4 use the new directx10? [04:41] ross`, btfielder: COD4 isn't exactly playing nice with Wine [04:41] or is that even out yet, i dunno [04:41] fde, its already there :/ [04:41] I'm sure it has a DX9 mode too [04:41] i really should download x9 [04:41] V_invisible: that's all I did, and it's working for me..... [04:41] chipsa964: i've had the problem with every install i had on my old comp and editing my xorg.conf just fixed it. so if you've tried that, i dont know that i'll be much help. [04:41] well that's what i'm saying, in wine you gotta use opengl don't ya/ [04:41] V_invisible: You logged out and back in since installing samba? [04:42] DX 10.1 is "technically" available, so yes, that would me DX10 is out, not to mention it's used in Crysis [04:42] OK, I described the screwed up Gutsy install .ISO on the channel 3 times. I'm not doing a bug report. [04:42] mean* [04:42] fde, yeah i ve done that before...still the same :( [04:42] wait [04:42] whats 8.04 called again? [04:42] 55mb for wine not bad [04:42] Hardym ross` [04:42] ross`, hardy lol [04:42] ross`: Hardy Heron [04:42] Ecclesiastes: then the problem will never be fixed [04:42] Hardy ross` [04:42] even if i had windows, my computer couldn't play these newer games, i know vanguard didn't work when i got it, my card couldn't play it [04:43] Ah [04:43] V_invisible: I have no idea why something would work here, but not for you... using the exact same setup and exact same package versions. [04:43] Ecclesiastes: Have you heard of anyone else having similar problems? [04:43] surabaya [04:43] anyways, back to learning perl =) [04:43] i need to get a new video card, just enough for starcraft II [04:43] then im good [04:43] wait wut [04:43] starcraft II? [04:43] jerknextdoor, yeah, i dunno whats up...i guess maybe trial and error for supported resolutions? haha [04:43] when is that coming out? [04:43] no releae date yet [04:43] ahh [04:44] idk im a hardcore blizz fan [04:44] been since i was 5 years old [04:44] i have played all their games but wow [04:44] i hate wow [04:44] Does Wubi still require downloads when used from the LiveCD? [04:44] anyway goodnight all [04:44] babolat: Wubi won't work from the LiveCD [04:44] fde, so any more ideas? haha [04:45] Chipsa964: sorry [04:45] i meant from inserting the Desktop CD aka LiveCD fde [04:45] I'm trying to install Hardy, but both the Live and Alternate install CDs aren't picking up my current partition table. I have 2 SATA hard drives, one 400GB with a single ntfs partition, and the other with 4 partitions (ntfs, ext3, swap, ntfs) and it won't pick up the other drive [04:46] dmsuperman: ntfs is not natively supported by Ubuntu [04:46] babolat: I've been told it's not on the LiveCD... I'd imagine it wouldn't require any downloading on the LiveCD though, no... considering everything it needs is on the CD... [04:46] babolat: Yes it is [04:46] babolat, I'm not trying to install to NTFS, I'm trying to install to that first ext3 partition [04:47] Hi, my friend's monitor's brightness changes when the power mode is switched (AC to battery or vice versa). How can he prevent the brightness value from changing to default whenever the power mode is switched? Thanks. [04:47] fde: i thought you still needed ntfs-3g? [04:47] i just realized my volume control doesn't work at all,i can't even mute, known problem? [04:47] babolat: That is native. [04:47] oh probably because it's the alsa mixer? and it's using pulse? [04:47] fde: wrong term.. _out_of_the_box_ might suit your diction better? ;) [04:47] babolat: It just uses fuse... so it doesn't crash the kernel, or need to be approved by the kernel guys [04:48] selocol: Go to Preferences -> Power Management [04:48] babolat: It's installed by default last I checked too [04:48] is there a pulse audio mixer? [04:48] ghindo: Dimming is unchecked [04:48] fde: last i tried it wasnt [04:48] babolat, fde, I don't need NTFS at all, it's my second hard drive's partition table I'm having issues with (I just need to install over an existing ext3 partition === mariobro is now known as tawd [04:48] ghindo: I already unchecked "Reduce backlight brightness" and "Dim display when idle" [04:48] sorry, dosen't concern you dmsuperman [04:48] babolat: It is in hardy... [04:48] ghindo: Also unchecked "Dim display when idle" in the AC Power tab [04:48] kitche: No, I wouldn't expect that it would get fixed, bug report or not. Ubuntu is all about moving forward. [04:49] fde, well it used to work before i upgraded to hardy...and i cant connect to the windows work group computers either...even if i cant share my own files [04:49] fde: you need to apt-get install it dont you? or from Synaptic [04:49] dmsuperman: I would have addressed you about the issue if I had an idea what was going on... I'm not sure why it's not picking up the second disk [04:49] babolat: no [04:49] fde: yes [04:49] ghindo: from talking with the support people on this channel, I'm the only person to attempt it. [04:49] babolat: I never installed it, and it's installed here. [04:49] * SeaPhor ponders a new nick,,, how about "format_C:\~install_Ubuntu" [04:50] selocol: I'm not exactly sure about this, but I think Ubuntu "remembers" what the brightness was when it is on battery power and ac power and switches to that when it's switched from battery to ac or vice-versa [04:50] !ot | babolat, fde: i have HAD to intall it. used gparted the first time a few back, and i had to install it. [04:50] babolat, fde: i have HAD to intall it. used gparted the first time a few back, and i had to install it.: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:50] babolat: ubuntu-standard depends it. [04:50] babolat: in hardy === MTeck is now known as MTecknology [04:51] Ecclesiastes: What's the exact problem, again? [04:51] fde, sorry, babolat said something to me about ntfs and then you said something to him, so i assumed you were both talking about my situation [04:51] ghindo: Ok, thanks [04:51] selocol: Hoped that answered your question, sorry I couldn't be more certain [04:51] ghindo: :D [04:51] dmsuperman: I was pointing out that he was wrong because it is bad support to misinform... [04:51] hi [04:51] how do I find out which version of ubuntu I have [04:52] Lucroth: lsb_release -a [04:52] awesome thanks man [04:52] Lucroth: Go to Administration -> System Monitor -> System [04:53] #virtualbox [04:53] wow 2 responses instatly, I've got it now, thanks for the help [04:53] fde, er sorry man...but i gotta ask again...how can i access other windows network computers on my network [04:53] Will there be a huge difference in using 2 x 512 ddr2 ram and 1x 1gb ddr2 ram? [04:53] anyone know where i can get good nvidia drivers? [04:53] what is the command to install build essentials [04:53] arvind: only if it's dual channel, and then probably not a huge difference, no [04:53] Nvidia sucks, get an ATI [04:53] hello [04:53] arvind: There shouldn't be a significant difference [04:53] how can I install apache/php/mysql??? [04:53] V_invisible: Places > Network > Windows Network > Should list computers or your local network [04:53] ttmontoya: sudo apt-get install build-essential [04:53] btfielder, use the restricted drivers [04:53] its dual channel [04:54] thanks [04:54] I have ubuntu 8.04 ltd desktop [04:54] I tried to use the 7.10 alternate install .ISO, taking advantage of the "K"eep partition option. ON two disks which verified, and after the installer verified the package before and after extraction, the lib6-i686 package failed and thus the base system install failed. [04:54] hello, I need some help: I've been trying to get my wireless working on my laptop (hp pavilion tx1000 - bcm43xx), but have been encountering problems [04:54] doolph: The Ubuntu Server install CD can install the LAMP stack automatically. Have you tried that? [04:54] basically I don't get any device recognized [04:54] fde, thats the thing...theres nothing when i enter the windows network [04:54] Question; Firefox is locking up at launch, I reinstalled, still hanging startup, Fix? [04:54] ghindo: I tried to use the 7.10 alternate install .ISO, taking advantage of the "K"eep partition option. ON two disks which verified, and after the installer verified the package before and after extraction, the lib6-i686 package failed and thus the base system install failed. [04:54] whether I use ndiswrapper or the basica bcm43xx module [04:54] I don't get an interface at all [04:55] doolph: Does that answer your question? [04:55] V_invisible: Mine shows at least my box... because it's turned on... [04:55] even though the hardware appears (on ndiswrapper and lspci) [04:55] ghindo I have the server cd [04:55] Will there be a huge difference in using 2 x 512 ddr2 ram and 1x 1gb ddr2 ram? [04:55] and Lucroth , thats your opinion and not necessary in a support channel [04:55] arvind: no [04:55] ghindo: I am faced with a partition wipe to reinstall Gutsy. [04:55] but all I want is to test some scripts [04:55] that's why I want a apache server locally [04:56] dara [04:56] fde, i know for sure theres atleast one other windows box turned on right now...but doesnt show...and i setup the network on it myself...it worked before, but its not there anymore. It appears when i enter the network from another windows computer. :(( [04:57] is there any link where we could download vista to run in vmware? [04:57] if i want to use dual channel, then the ram should be in slot 1 and 2 or 1 and 3? [04:57] V_invisible: you can try going through /etc/samba/smb.conf ... or read man smb.conf ... it should be working via the GUI though :/ [04:57] !piracy | tawd, you've got to be kidding, right?

[05:39] bridger, same exact problem i have :( [05:39] And if it's playing music already, and I open up Youtube, it will get screwy, sometimes stopping half way through a song. And then I don't have sound for either. [05:39] yeah, Bridger, open up Sound in System > Preferences. Change everything to ALSA. You may want to write down what you had before and try it occassionally at the original settings in case they fix more sound issues in the future.

[06:51] Akuma: or iwconfig wlan0 if its loaded [06:52] Akuma: just to see if its using windows driver [06:52] StevenX, then I'd recommend the CBT Linux BASH video tutorial, its like a class except you cant talk back, the teacher even treats you like an idiot [06:52] I have just plugged in a netcomm am5066 rave III usb pstn modem. I need to get it to work can anyone help ?

Besides, after installing Vista, you're going to reconfigure your boot loader to see Ubuntu anyway. [06:56] ive been using it for about 15 days.. [06:56] Mcrib(i love those tasty things): when i try to install it, it says it needs to be ?ntaf?

[07:01] Gokee2: never investigated about a conversion. removing lines you dislike, and then re-accepting them when you ssh into the host will fix [07:01] Tyler, did it work? [07:01] can anyone help me with kismet? [07:02] Ronald, Ya I don`t know what host is what though...

[07:38] /cl/cl [07:38] fulat2k, you have 386 or generic kernel [07:39] sorry typo [07:39] bazhang: generic kernel [07:40] fulat2k, you have apci=off in the boot params? [07:41] Maybe you are right LSD|Ninja. But for a few bucks more, you could have gotten a decent modem. [07:41] bazhang: nope. [07:41] tyler, can you mount them not auto? [07:41] anyone uses skype? [07:42] skype webcam window behave strangely after recent upgrade [07:42] chris65536: yes i can...I cant share them over the network until there mounted right...its a pain in the but to do that everytime i restart....can i copy and paste this file and someone tell me what im doing wrong [07:43] the tutorial i followed was for like ubuntu 6. something given to me by legend [07:44] When I execute: "crontab cron.txt" does my crontab job survive forever (i.e. between reboots)? [07:44] sudo nano /etc/fstab [07:44] /192.168.0.194/drive2 /media/drive2 cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [07:44] //192.168.0.194/drive2 /media/drive2 cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 [07:44] second one [07:45] tyler that was for you btw [07:45] Tyler, So you are really talking about mounting over the network rather than local? [07:46] Why isn't there a wheel group? [07:47] patrick_: ubuntu uses admin group [07:47] i need help using scp when sshed in the host [07:48] is the hardy-proposed repo safe to use? [07:48] Soooo.. any chance someone might have to time to help me with Broadcom wireless issues? I know you all love those. [07:48] chris65536: hardware modems sell for 3x the price of a WinModem here [07:48] xaphoo you should ask if hardyis safe to use period [07:49] Well I'm trying to use libtomcrypt [07:49] xaphoo: Technically, no. [07:49] imo it should still be beta [07:49] well, on my comp Hardy (without the proposed repos) is doing great [07:49] but when i do make install it fails since it appears to rely on the wheel group existing [07:49] i upgraded my dist [07:49] and i really wish i hadn't [07:49] its crippled my pc [07:49] not entirely [07:50] but its crippled about 50% of what i do on here [07:50] !enter | e [07:50] e: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [07:51] icogens: I replaced the Broadcom in my sisters Lenovo with an Intel 3945abg. Was quite surprised when it came up first time in xubuntu of all things. === e is now known as Lokii- [07:51] ill be...

[07:52] that took care of _redBall_ :P [07:52] im out [07:52] Can I limit bandwidth for ubuntu update manager? [07:52] I'll try triclkle [07:52] LSD|Ninja, do they still sell WinModems where you are? Where are you? I guess if you can't afford an all-hardware modem, a WinModem is you're only alternative.

Welcome! [07:54] It's basically a Broadcom BCM43XG with a Linksys label on it. None of the tutorials I've found for using b43-fwcutter have worked, and I can't even really find any info on the BCM43XG at all. It's killin me. [07:54] quit [07:54] chris65536: I haven't checked recently but last time I did check, a basic PCI WinModem was I bought a WinModem, and it was a second-hand OEM WinModem. It as a POS. I'm cheap. [07:55] people buy modems in australia still ? [07:55] hi all [07:55] lokii: was that for me? [07:55] here broadband is as cheap or cheaper then dialup [07:56] LSD|Ninja, sorry, what is AUD$? [07:56] australia dollar [07:56] I see. [07:56] Ok so I have a program that assumes there is going to be a wheel group [07:56] Make a wheel group, patrick. [07:57] um [07:57] ok [07:57] chris: no im talking about mounting locally so i can access the files from my windows computer [07:57] but everytime i restart i have to manually mount them [07:57] anyone uses skype? [07:58] tyler are they usb drives or anything like that or internal drives? [07:58] Anyone know a way to force firefox to reload all pages from a command line? [07:58] * DracoZA is installing 8.04 on his old HP laptop...and holding thumbs... [07:58] no huge drives formated in ntfs [07:58] anyone wanna look at my fstab file [07:58] or can i paste the code [07:58] Tyler, do you mean you are dual booting Windows and Linux? [07:58] You'll have to buy me a drink first. [07:58] linux [07:59] im in 8.04 right now [07:59] yes i can read that im not registered though [07:59] tyler is your nick regged to nickserv here? [07:59] register so you can chat back to [07:59] link me to reg real fast [07:59] i'll help ya out [07:59] sorry [07:59] !pastebin | tyler [07:59] tyler: 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) [07:59] thanks man i really appreciate it [08:00] /msg nickserv help register [08:01] Does anyone recommend using the hardy-proposed packages? Or should I stay away from them... [08:02] ah well, I'm going for it === tyler is now known as barlrol [08:02] I have an odd setup in my mind and was wondering if someone had any ideas on how I would implement it. Basically I have 2 computers and 2 monitors, I want to be able to switch between dual monitor for one computer and a monitor for each computer in an easy manner. Got any ideas? [08:02] The keyboard/mouse usage should be able to be handled correctly by synergy [08:03] anyone uses skype? [08:03] Halleck, this sounds like a hardware question [08:03] xaphoo: hardy-proposed is for updates that haven't been tested yet, if you use it, you should expect bugs [08:04] ok... any way to revert out of proposed? [08:04] kelvin911: Skype doesn't abide by any standards, try OpenWengo or Gizmo or something that doesn't suck. [08:05] why all of the suddent, the webcam window in skype is all screw up? [08:05] it was fine before [08:05] xaphoo: all -proposed updates eventually go into -updates after testing, so just unselect it and let it go. [08:05] ok... [08:05] kelvin911: Who knows, ask Skype, we can't support it and they're not a partner of Canonical so we don't have to try :P [08:05] See ya [08:06] xaphoo: If you want to go back to an earlier version, look up the package in synaptic, there you should be able to force install a particular package version [08:06] i think it may have something to do with the new update [08:06] hello? [08:06] jbuncher: you can't downgrade using any apt based tool. [08:07] !hi | fips [08:07] fips: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [08:07] so um.. is there a "root" on ubuntu [08:07] fips: absolutely [08:07] fips: use sudo [08:07] !sudo | fips [08:07] fips: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [08:07] fde: I thought you could, if multiple versions of the package was on the server? [08:07] or is it what like the name you chose earlier [08:07] jbuncher: no [08:07] I have to say, Hardy is the smoothest, best looking, fastest desktop I've ever run [08:07] fips: It's sort of like both. You never log in as root, but you can gain root powers temporarily by using sudo. [08:07] so like, you know the user swithcer? [08:08] fde: Hmm. ok. How is the force version option useful then? [08:08] fips: Ubuntu thinks its more user friendly to only have to remember 1 password... so yes. [08:08] what is sudo exactly? [08:08] xaphoo: It's really enjoyable to use, sans the few bugs we're still working out. :-) [08:08] fips: sudo grants root privelages for a short period of time [08:08] the only bad thing is how flash overloads my CPU and makes it overheat... pretty bad, but it's adobe's fault [08:08] jbuncher: If you're using multiple sources? [08:08] and i should never log in as root? [08:08] xaphoo: yup, nothing you can really do about it... [08:08] fips on irc? [08:08] fips: sudo is a privilege elevation framework. It lets you provide fine-tuned control to what users can elevate to what privilege levels. [08:09] fips: Not only should you not log in as root, you cannot log in as root on Ubuntu. [08:09] fips: no. [08:09] and why didn't i create a root password during the install? [08:09] fips: It's generally recommended that you don't log in as root [08:09] pj [08:09] fips: Because there is no root password, and no way to log in as root. [08:09] fips: It's automatically assumed that the main user will be the root user, too [08:09] how to create partition on non empty disk without loosing information? [08:09] it's real? [08:09] fde: so you're saying the force version option only lets you select what version to upgrade to, and not one to downgrade to? [08:09] fips: your user password is the root password [08:09] so there is no root [08:09] sudo su - [08:09] If you feel as though you need to be able to log in as the actual root user for something then you're doing it wrong [08:09] passwd [08:09] ok, thank you [08:09] fips: No, root is still there - you just have to use sudo to access root's capabilities. [08:10] robert__: Do not use sudo su - [08:10] fips: you can do things like 'echo "foo" | sudo tee -a' rather than echo foo >> somefile ... so it's not needed... or just 'sudo -i' for a root terminal. [08:10] robert__: if you want a root terminal, use sudo -i [08:10] jbuncher: pretty much, yes. [08:10] how to create partition on non empty disk without losing information? [08:10] thanks for the help [08:10] RyanPrior, there is a "root password", it's just locked. [08:10] RyanPrior: Why shouldn't you use sudo su? [08:10] HSNews: you'll need to shrink an existing partition. [08:10] you want to resize the disk? HSNews [08:11] jbuncher: there is /var/cache/apt/archive ... you can manually install an old version if it's still there, then hold that version or something... [08:11] fde: hmm.....couldn't you just uninstall the app that you want to downgrade from, and install the one you want to downgrade to? [08:11] jbuncher: Hypothetically, there is a root password, but it's random and it would take a large amount of time to brute force it. [08:11] oh yes, how do i open up like a shell or something to type in sudo -i [08:11] jbuncher: You don't have to uninstall it, just install the old version via dpkg itself... [08:11] fips: applications - accessories - terminal [08:12] fips: applications, accessories - terminal [08:12] RyanPrior: no... the root account is disabled... hence the '!' [08:12] ghindo: There is a system of environment variables and such that are not set correctly when sudo su is used. sudo -i does special environment switching to make sure weird things don't happen. [08:12] RyanPrior: in /etc/shadow [08:12] I have 250gb disk, with two partition: C(50gb - windowsxp) and D(200gb - work files). And i want to install Ubuntu to 200gb disk. Resize it to 150(work files) and 50(for ubuntu) [08:12] it is real? [08:12] fde: so if there are multiple versions of a package in the repositories (such as one in -proposed and one main), how is using the force version to downgrade from proposed to main any different than just installing a old deb from /var/apt/archive? [08:13] !pinning | jbuncher [08:13] jbuncher: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [08:13] why does ubuntu automatically deny me full power over the system [08:13] jbuncher: oh, different question. nevermind [08:13] fips: What? [08:13] fips: it doesnt. it saves you from breaking it. [08:13] fips: There is no denial of power. It's a security decision. [08:13] what os are you usning HSNews [08:13] fips: You still have full power to administer, fix, break, and do everything root can do on your system. [08:13] jaffarkelshac, winxp and ubuntu804 [08:13] jbuncher: /var/cache/apt/archive ... it tells it what version to install... but it'll be overridden if you don't hold the package. [08:13] fips: Run sudo -i and you'll get a root prompt, just like on any system. [08:14] but there's hardly any reason to use sudo -i anyway === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [08:14] i thought you wanted to format to install ubuntu HSNews [08:14] ahh [08:14] whats -i for ? [08:14] thanks [08:14] fips: However, for security reasons, Ubuntu is designed so that you very rarely have to use a generic root terminal, and the opportunities to screw up your system are minimized. [08:14] fde: I must not be getting my question across, nm. [08:14] i just wanted to be able to you know? [08:14] Flannel: if you have to enter a series of commands, and want to avoid sudo everytime [08:15] calibrating and teaching gnome-voice-control is HARD! [08:15] jbuncher: unless you hold the package, apt-get upgrade will always upgrade to the newest version of the package, you can't then say 'apt-get install older_version' because apt will tell you it's already installed. [08:15] I want to resize exists partition without losing information [08:15] fips: I know the "no root terminal" thing strikes a lot of people coming to Ubuntu as strange, but having used Ubuntu for a couple years now, I never use the root terminal anymore. [08:15] one last question [08:15] and create new empty partition for ubuntu [08:15] jaffarkelshac: there's very few times when you'd need to do that, or at least, when the number of separate commands would deem a root prompt necessary. [08:16] HSNews: what type of partition do you have currently? [08:16] i already like it better than any other distro ive used [08:16] jbuncher: I don't even see the --force-version option in man apt-get... [08:16] and windows [08:16] fde: right, but forgetting about pinning the package so that apt-get upgrade will "keep" the right version, if I've got a later version of a package, and multiple versions are in the repositories, I should be able to force-version an older package, yes? [08:16] two NTFS partitions [08:16] fde: hmm......I thought it was there [08:16] fde: nm then [08:16] jbuncher: dpkg --force-help ... it's part of dpkg [08:16] i just installed 7.10, should i upgrade to the newest one like 8.?.? [08:17] hsnews: do you have a spare hard drive you can use to temporarily hold stuff? [08:17] fips: Since you probably don't have any valuable data to lose, this is as good a time as any to upgrade. [08:17] fips: wait for 8.10 [08:17] if you are using ubuntu right now, the program that allows partition resizing is gparted HSNews [08:17] fips wait until there is sound in flash [08:17] greetings freinds [08:17] fde: I guess it's not an option on apt, but you can do apt-get install package=version# according to man page [08:17] bazhang: you dont have sound in flash? i'm not having any problems [08:17] ofcourse you need to be extra careful before applying final changes HSNews [08:17] fips: There are a few bugs we're wrestling with, such as sound in Adobe Flash, but I suspect those will be fixed within months if not weeks. [08:17] ubuntu almost makes everything too easy =) [08:17] jbuncher: that's not the same as downgrading though. [08:18] last night my computer updated distribution or something and now everything seems a bit different [08:18] is the latest kernel upgrade in hardy-proposed worth getting? [08:18] gs-d876, I have only one 250gb HDD ((( [08:18] I am trying to compile php... where are the MySQL client libraries located? [08:18] fips: I'm getting the distinct impression LTS means "released something horribly broken because we have 3 years to get it right" :/ [08:18] fde: what is the difference? [08:18] Okey, thanks! I'll try [08:18] xaphoo: no. -proposed are more or less untested [08:18] LSD|Ninja: That's actually pretty close. Howver, on the whole, Hardy is awesomely solid. [08:18] xaphoo, how good are at fixing breakage from the command line (ie no gui)? [08:18] jbuncher: one, you're installing a certain version, the archive will only have the version you have, or newer... the other is installing a lower version. [08:19] ok I'm unchecking the proposed repos... I just upgraded a bunch of stuff (one reboot with proposed), but the second reboot proposes these kernel upgrades I dont want to deal with [08:19] bazhang: not good at all === solid_liq is now known as solid_liquid [08:19] LSD|Ninja: I do lots of C++ development, web development, graphics work, and so on -- all those work 100% on Hardy. It's just web browsing that gets me, pretty much. [08:19] How do I disable Pulse? [08:19] xaphoo, then steer clear === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [08:19] Zaiden: Why do you want to do that? [08:19] does anyone know what happens when it updates distribution ? [08:19] hsnews: maybe try wubi? [08:19] xaphoo: I thought I told you you shouldn't enable hardy-proposed ? [08:19] i got a book Linux Programming in 24 hours, i might start in on it tomorrow [08:19] my printer hp 1018 laserjet dosn't work with 8.04 .. every thing is ok until processing ?? [08:19] fde: Understood, the version you want has to be in the repos, but if you're downgrading from a -proposed package (say one that broke something) to the main repo package, that should work, right? [08:19] RyanPrior: I'm still more than a little annoyed that a handful of things that worked in Gutsy were dropped, moved or just plain broken in Hardy. Not cool for a long term releases. [08:19] Vegombrei: A bunch of new packages are installed, old ones are removed, and the rest are upgraded. [08:19] Vegombrei: it... um.... updates release version? [08:20] LSD|Ninja: we put the new packages in because we know we will get them working. We're putting you through a little hardship right now because, in LTS, we've got our eye on the long run. [08:20] um, well you advised caution, so the brave soul that I am I went ahead... all that it upgraded was some gtk stuff and evolution and nvidia (which still works well) [08:20] does xchat gnome do multiple servers? [08:20] jbuncher: I don't think so, but it might... I've never tried it though in the 8 years of using Debian. [08:20] jbuncher: yes, probably a good idea to remove -proposed while you're at it [08:20] RyanPrior: ,fde but everything seems different now [08:20] and everything works fine still [08:21] Vegombrei: different how/ [08:21] xaphoo, for now. [08:21] Vegombrei: Yes, because you upgraded release version... so everything is at least 6 months newer... FOSS moves fast. [08:21] fips, yes it does [08:21] RyanPrior: It's nothing that I personally couldn't fix if it became a problem I don't think it's reasonable to put the market you actively pitch to through that nonsense [08:21] fde,Flannel: ok, thanks. It wasn't something I needed to do, was just curious. [08:21] ok, so I've unchecked proposed... [08:21] how? [08:21] RyanPrior: I was told that disabling Pulse would make voice chat work in second life. [08:21] Ubuntu offers several IRCd's but not UnrealIRCd, why? [08:21] fips, oops u asked gnome lemme check [08:21] RudyValencia: use dancer-ircd [08:22] then I'd have to become a freenode server [08:22] i want to get on dalnet too [08:22] RudyValencia: It's not in the repo because no one cared enough to package it. [08:22] LSD|Ninja: There's absolutely no pressure on anybody to upgrade, the bug tracker is public, and I don't know about others, but when somebody comes in here asking whether they should wait, I always tell them yes, unless there's some feature in Hardy they're dying for. [08:22] freenode uses dancer [08:22] hmmm so everyones computers get updated automatically while you're asleep ? [08:22] RudyValencia: No you wouldn't. [08:22] gs-d876, I'll try, thanks! :) [08:22] when i fire up an xfce session it just hangs with the background, no icons, bars, etc. need to do a ctrl+alt+bksp to get out [08:22] LSD|Ninja: Unlike with Windows Vista, we're not doing anything to pressure Gutsy users to jump to Hardy. [08:22] If I knew how to package unrealIRCd I would [08:22] fips yes gnome does, u just connect to as many as you want [08:22] what is Hardy? [08:23] RyanPrior: You may not pressure, but you encourage [08:23] RyanPrior: At least, not for another 12 months :P [08:23] yeah but how? [08:23] fips: Ubuntu 8.04 [08:23] RudyValencia: Well, until then, or until you get someone to package it for you, it won't be in the archive. [08:23] Zaiden: I think a better question would be, how do you get Second Life to use PulseAudio? [08:23] RudyValencia: #ubuntu-motu if you're interested [08:23] !ot [08:23] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:24] LSD|Ninja: I think Hardy is a great upgrade for any power-user or enthusiast, but people who aren't those tend to stay behind for awhile, which is a good thing. [08:24] RudyValencia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [08:24] Hi, im using network-manager-gnome to connect to my Wi-Fi at home. I have got it set up in a fairly manual fashion. I need to specify my DNS servers and default gateway for it to work. Since i've had it set up like this, I can no longer connect to my work VPN connection (I could in the past). Basically since I disabled 'wireless roaming mode' and put in the details manually, my VPN will not connect. Anyone got any advice? Thanks [08:24] ubuntu has zero vendor lock-in; it is offtopic at any rate [08:24] I have to say that my first couple days with hardy were tough though since for some reason powernowd wasn't throtting my CPU correctly [08:24] "Update: Second Life voice support appears to be incompatible with PulseAudio as shipped by default on Ubuntu systems starting with 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). Workaround is to install esound as a replacement for PulseAudio, as described in the comments below. " [08:24] BonezAU: I ran into that problem awhile ago as well - could never figure it out. [08:24] and it was overheating [08:25] esound? [08:25] RyanPrior, yeah its very strange. Almost like a bug I guess? [08:25] any one know if a creative live sound card work on ubunto [08:25] xaphoo, what did you find out ? my temps have been 10 degrees higher [08:25] BonezAU: If it isn't a bug in the program, it's at least a usability bug. [08:25] leif_: depends on the model [08:25] RyanPrior, absolutely. I might head off to launchpad and see if any others have reported it yet. [08:25] ok [08:25] leif_: I have a creative soundblaster live 5.1 and it works out-of-the-box [08:25] haven't tried surround mode though [08:25] Has anyone of you ever heard of a desktop applet which you can put at the side of your way too wide widescreen and then shows a little picture of the other workspaces? I.e. like you can watch several TV channels in split screen mode, just with workspaces :) I always lose programs somewhere on some mysterious workspace... [08:25] ibleed: I reinstalled powernowd, and set it for low-aggression mode (not sure the command, look it up on the forums) [08:26] strge [08:26] strage [08:26] maybe a alsaconf [08:26] still though, if I am doing a long CPU intensive task like updating my music library, or if I am watching flash, my CPU heats to 100 degrees [08:26] RyanPrior, I have this other problem, every time I go to use my laptop the battery is flat... oops, PEBCAK :) [08:26] xaphoo: Sounds like you need better CPU cooling. [08:26] Ryan: yeah but I've never had any problem with Vista or with old ubuntus (I used to run edgy) [08:26] Buyyde1: it's not applet , but there's something in compiz-fusion [08:27] RyanPrior: Power Users and enthusiasts don't typically run Ubuntu though and that's the issue here. I'd let the issues I've had slide if this were any other distro but I hold Ubuntu toa higher standard because you actively pitch to a market that shouldn't have to put up with this BS. [08:27] it is possible that it got all dusted up though [08:27] i got a live 5.1 inside version [08:27] I should get one of those cans of compressed air [08:27] By chance, has anyone happened to get a Linksys WMP300N wireless pci card to work in 8.04? [08:27] LSD|Ninja, RyanPrior, mind taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic? thanks [08:27] LSD|Ninja, please stay ontopic [08:27] RyanPrior, my cpu temps rose 10 degrees from gutsy to hardy. [08:27] !anyone | LSD|Ninja [08:27] LSD|Ninja: 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? [08:27] kasra: Do you remeber the name of the feature? That would speed up the research :) [08:27] fde: ? [08:27] LSD|Ninja: It's unfortunate that we can't bust 100% of the bugs, but we came pretty close in Hardy. [08:28] LSD|Ninja: I would prefer to continue the discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like. :-) [08:28] You can't bust 100% of the bugs because you don't make an effort [08:28] !anyone | icogens [08:28] icogens: 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? [08:28] RyanPrior, LSD|Ninja take this to offtopic please [08:28] LSD|Ninja: sorry [08:28] :D [08:29] has anyone used vmware server with 7.10 successfully ? [08:29] !anyone [08:29] 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? [08:29] grrrr hit enter too fast... DracoZA ^^ [08:29] Buyyde1: sorry , try looking in ccsm , I have it with Super+E , or I have somthing simillar with F10 [08:29] kasra: ccsm? [08:29] Buyyde1: compiz config settings manager [08:29] is it just me or is packages.ubuntu.com down? and a lot of ubuntu [network]services seem to be failing[from all my computers]...connections dropping out left and right [08:29] Buyyde1: Recommend installing 'simple-ccsm' .... [08:30] I'll give it try, thanks. [08:30] DracoZA: Yes, I have. What is your specific question? [08:30] bluefoxx: p.u.c works for me [08:30] Buyyde1: cheers [08:30] !repomirror | They are rather slow for everyone due to recent release: [08:30] They are rather slow for everyone due to recent release:: Go to "System", "Administration", and "Software Sources" and choose "Other" from the drop down box. Then choose "select best server" and your system will choose the fastest mirror for you automatically. [08:30] Fair enough. I have a Linksys WMP300N card in my box. It worked alright in 7.10 using ndiswrapper, but I can't get the thing to do much in 8.04. I've tried pretty much every How-to I could find, and still no luck. What uh, what should I do? [08:30] DracoZA: Actually, let me ask a clarifying question. When you say "use with 7.10", do you mean 7.10 is the host, or the guest (virtualized) os? [08:31] jbuncher, Ive had a nightmare of an issue where a full installation works perfectly, I take the entire pc and plug it in on another network and vmware just refuses to work at all [08:31] icogens: lspci | grep -i wireless return anything? [08:31] Flannel: its failed to load a simple search page for "camstream" for the past hour...finally decided it doesnt exist or timed out :\ [08:31] jbuncher, 7.10 is the host [08:31] heya, since i upgraded to heron my dialog boxes (e.g. password dialog for thunderbird) always open up maximised - any ideas why? [08:31] fde: Nothing [08:31] I use it as a login shell, and it doesn't seem to be reading the /.config/fish/config.fish file... [08:31] any idea why [08:31] ? [08:31] icogens: ok... can you paste your lspci to paste.ubuntu.com for me? [08:31] pvh_sa|wrk: do all windows do that? are you using compiz? [08:31] DracoZA: Can you clarify "refuses to work at all?" [08:31] bluefoxx: ah... search is much slower. Perhaps its stored on a different host. And yeah, I get a timeout too. You doing it for a different version as your own? [08:32] crdlb, yes, using compiz. no, my terminal windows don't open like that (gnome-terminal) [08:32] Flannel: im doing the search from firefox 3.0 in hardy heron... [08:32] pvh_sa|wrk: check ccsm > Window Placement > Placement Mode [08:32] Sorry, I use fish as a login shell, and it doesn't seem to be reading the /.config/fish/config.fish file... [08:32] bluefoxx: no no, I meant, you're on hardy looking for stuff on hardy? [08:32] pvh_sa|wrk: make sure it's not on "Maximized" [08:32] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11618/ [08:33] icogens: This is a clean install? [08:33] jbuncher, it pretty much misbehaves with a few errors, but the two most common ones are to simply tell me that vmware is not installed when I connect to local host or secondly to tell me that the bridged adapter is down [08:33] fde: no, I upgraded from 7.10 using the online upgrade [08:33] DracoZA: Did you set your networking up as bridged? [08:33] jbuncher, I googled the bridged adapter issue and found a few instances but no resolutions [08:34] Flannel: i cant connect to the server to install camstreams to test if i fixed my webcam OK[perhaphs i should set up a local mirror on my LAN...for the packages i install ofton like ubuntu updates and such. i do reinstall on one of my machines about once a week and re-updating every third day on a 30KB/s connection is a PITA] [08:34] icogens: sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutters please [08:34] jbuncher, originally as bridged but I then tried as nat to avoid the problem but as soon as the machine gets plugged into a new network nothing works [08:34] bluefoxx: That's not what I asked. You're using p.u.c to search for hardy software, on a hardy box, yes? [08:34] \join [08:34] Flannel: yus [08:35] when I goto logout and select "shut down" my system goes to a black screen and hangs until I "ctrl-alt-delete" any ideas or where can I maybe find an error report for this? [08:35] bluefoxx: you can use (and I prefer) apt-cache search [terms] [08:35] jbuncher, I have run the network config to scan for new unused networks etc with no success [08:35] anyone using the fish shell here? [08:35] bluefoxx: it even allows you to use more than one word! [08:35] icogens: When that's done, please log out and back in, and tell me whether right clicking on the 2computers icon in your panel says "Enable Wireless" === keith_ is now known as underwatercow [08:35] What happens when you have a dual monitor setup and you unplug one monitor? Does it revert to a single monitor display? [08:35] icogens: via the right click menu.... [08:36] fde: I've already installed it, however, I switched from NM to WIDC. Should I switch back to NM? [08:36] kasra, fde: I had ccsm installed already and used it too (it's the 'advanced appearance settings' in the menu ^^) but I didn't find anything there. It's a shame the features aren't explained properly in most of the cases, it mainly just repeats the name. Would you mind having a look where the feature is in your case? [08:36] bluefoxx: that o course won't help you with the download from the mirror, but at least you can verify whether packages exist [08:36] Halleck: yes via hotplug [08:36] Flannel: cool! i shall try that[tab-completeion of aptitude install cam failed to show anything :0 ] [08:36] DracoZA: Ok. I don't think I know how to really go about solving this. I don't have any issues on my install (installed from repos) and it uses the NAT networking just fine, both at home and on campus (two different networks, both wireless) [08:36] icogens: NetworkManager is superior imo... so I'd suggest yes. [08:36] bluefoxx: If you're using firefox.... you have gnome, you can use synaptic too. Its got search et al built in [08:37] now i found out it is a x-fi sound blaster that proberly not work [08:37] icogens: We're going to get it working via NetworkManager, ndiswrapper doesn't work with NetworkManager, hence having to use WIDC [08:37] Why is it that when I press Ctrl + Alt + an F button, it brings up a terminal-like screen? [08:37] any skype user here? [08:37] what do i need to install for playing ape with rhythmbox [08:37] kelvin911: yes [08:37] hi [08:37] Flannel: eh, i like to install from terminal, less drain on CPU resources [only on a crappy little P4@2.4] [08:37] ghindo: because you've switched to a tty. your GUI exists on ctrl-alt-f7, 1-6 are separate logins [08:37] fde: Okay, I just reinstalled NM, WIDC is gone. [08:37] kelvin911: try #skype or something. [08:37] Buyyde1: do u use webcam? [08:38] kelvin911: no [08:38] bluefoxx: fair enough. Just making sure you know all your options [08:38] icogens: Did the icon show up again in the System Tray? [08:38] Flannel: What's a tty and why are they installed? [08:38] fde: I just loaded nm-applet, yes. [08:38] icogens: ok... right click ... does it say "Enable Wireless"? [08:38] jbuncher, very odd problem indeed it makes no sense to me to take a working machine plug it into another network with exactly the same settings and then nothing works, I am installing 8.04 now and then going to try the whole installation again, I hope vmware and 8.04 are happy [08:38] what's that movie called about linux? or maybe it's just about open source. [08:38] please look http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotzw8.png [08:39] fde: No. There isn't a wireless option in Network Settings, either. [08:39] bluefoxx, you could use: sudo apt-cache search cam [08:39] ghindo: tty stans for TeleTYpe, basically its a terminal (like what you'd get if you didn't have a GUI)... they're "installed" because theyre required, they're running because they're configured to by default [08:39] DracoZA: gl [08:39] Flannel: i rabidly read man pages for anything new im using XD[i go so far as to steal a screen from another box to read it there and work un-inturrupted on a terminal in my main monitor >D] [08:39] rabidly hehe [08:39] icogens: lsmod | grep b43 return anything? [08:40] Flannel: Thanks for the explanations! [08:40] mhm virtualbox hangs on 'Installing the base system (6%) Retrieving libconsole' on xubuntu 7.10 is there any workaround as this is only a temporary system for an assignment (where I have to make a directory in my home directory and mount a floppy drive) and downloading a 8.04 release would take longer on my connection than the rest of the assignment :E [08:40] * fde is starting to wish Ubuntu had waiting for 2.6.25 kernel... added a bunch of broadcom drivers. [08:40] fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11619/ [08:40] icogens: I asked whether it returned anything... that's yes or no :) [08:41] DistroJockey: tried it, got nothing T_T looks like my old favourite program for viewing my webcam is gone.... allways VLC though>) and it can stream to another computer on the network[but can stream to general network :(] [08:41] fde, waiting for a kernel would be silly, because you'd always be waiting for the next release... do it like the rest of us, if you need an upgraded kernel do it yourself ;) [08:41] fragged, ive had installations sit on 6% for several minutes before just FYI [08:41] ghindo: if you'd like, you can reduce the number that start by default (but you shouldn't remove all of them for safety reasons), but they don't use a whole lot, so its probably not worth it [08:41] fde: Er, yes then ;) [08:41] bluefoxx, ahh *nods* [08:41] DracoZA, I just went out for about and hour, and its still hanging, hitting enter / space did some disk i/o and read the CD image breifly but nothing changed [08:41] want broadcom wireless? hook your box up to your router via ethernet, enable b43, let it do it's downloading, voila, wireless [08:41] anyone uses skype webcam here? [08:41] * bluefoxx forgot how versatile VLC has show itself to be [08:41] fragged, ok ive never had it that long :) [08:42] Flannel: Why are there so many in the first place? What are they supposed to be used for? [08:42] kindofabuzz: I am hooked up to a router via ethernet, but how do I enable b43? [08:42] DracoZA, how familiar are you with Ubuntu? Does it attempt to download stuff while installing? (Native gentoo user here) [08:42] icogens: can you restart your computer with NetworkManager enabled please... remove ndiswrapper, or throw 'blacklist ndiswrapper' into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist before doing so though. [08:42] icogens: system > admin > hardware drivers [08:43] kindofabuzz: It's all setup fine, no need for that. [08:43] ghindo: They're just different places for you to login to. I'm not familiar with the historic reasons as to why the GUI is on 7 or whatnot, but say, you needed to log in as a numbre of users (or one user multiple times), you'd use the different ttys [08:43] kindofabuzz: Something is conflicting though, so I want him to get to a point I'm familiar with. [08:43] oh i missed all that [08:44] fde: Okay, blacklisted and going to restart. [08:44] icogens: please do what I said, and don't mind kindofabuzz ... he's kind of buzzed :P [08:44] when I goto logout and select "shut down" my system goes to a black screen and hangs until I "ctrl-alt-delete" any ideas or where can I maybe find an error report for this? [08:44] fde, have you tried what i said though? won't hurt [08:44] kindofabuzz: Only thing in my hardware drivers is my Nvidia card, so that's not an option for me at the moment = [08:44] kindofabuzz: will do when he comes back from restart if it's necessary. [08:44] icogens: no do try what i said [08:44] fde: Back in just a minute. [08:44] kindofabuzz: that's for proprietary stuff... this is an open source driver. [08:45] Flannel: Cool, thanks [08:45] fde: i'm sure he don't give a damn, as long as he has wireless [08:45] hp 1018 laserjet dosen't work on 8.04 why ?? [08:45] kindofabuzz: yeah... but I'm saying... it wouldn't get him any further. [08:45] and b43 is proprietary? [08:45] kindofabuzz: no [08:45] it would if it worked! [08:46] start simple man [08:46] crdlb, on Maximised where? sorry, closed xchat since each time i switch windows it seems to refuse keyboard focus :P [08:46] kindofabuzz: jockey-gtk isn't for this kind of stuff. [08:46] fragged, yes I think you can select additional packages during the installation but I dont think it does so without your input and network configuration [08:46] kindofabuzz: Why would I take him through stuff I _know_ won't help? [08:46] I admire your tenacity kindofabuzz [08:47] but let the man do his work first :) [08:47] fde: how do you know it won't work? [08:47] it does work [08:47] earthquake... [08:47] please ease up kindofabuzz [08:47] openarena! [08:47] every thing is ok but still processing without printing [08:47] fde: I have returned [08:47] eaze up? huh? [08:47] kindofabuzz: eh... it added "and various wireless drivers" ... but it'd just install the firmware I already asked him whether is installed. [08:48] i'm just saying the easiest way to get broadcom wireless to work [08:48] where do i extract the files for custom mouse pointers? [08:48] kindofabuzz: just hold back for now, will you? [08:48] icogens: ok... is there "Enable Wireless" in the right click menu now? [08:48] fde: Negative [08:48] have you all gone crazy? hole up? eaze up? lol [08:48] kindofabuzz: no need to barge in at this point. [08:48] icogens: then kindofabuzz will be showing you how to get it enabled.... [08:48] soundray: why are you barging in on us then? you hold up bro [08:49] fde: Thanks for the help :) [08:49] kindofabuzz: see? You get your turn. [08:49] kindofabuzz, yes we are crazy; but you get second shot if his fix does not work--promise :) [08:49] rm -Rf / [08:49] kindofabuzz: Okay! :p [08:49] !ops | kindofabuzz bad advice [08:49] lol [08:49] kindofabuzz bad advice: Help!

At least I knew not to do that ;) [08:50] I just installed 8.04 on my new lenovo t61p, every seems to work but I can't get my wireless get to work [08:50] Don't run the command kindofabuzz said [08:50] It _will_ break your computer [08:50] pvh_sa|wrk: oh, are you sure you have a window manager running at all?

[08:52] icogens: Actually, there's no "add", and you said it's not there... so I don't see how that would have helped... but then it's not working my way either, and I don't have a broadcom... just got wireless working 2 seconds ago though with WEP etc... using prism2_usb [08:52] NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. [08:53] crdlb, no, but that might be because i've remapped the windows key with xmodmap [08:53] fde: The only think in the menu is my NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver under Device driver [08:53] pvh_sa|wrk: you have titlebars on your windows?

I'm using ubuntu 8.04 with gnome and I noticed that my .Trash folder is missing(probably I erased it). I was wondering where do my deleted files go if anywhere when not deleting them permanently. [08:54] Amaranth: hey, remember me :D? [08:54] Can someone help me? My video card is not being detected [08:54] pvh_sa|wrk: lol just making sure; windows not getting keyboard focus almost always means there's no WM running :) [08:54] Amaranth: were you the one with a sony laptop? [08:54] fde: Yeah, that's what it seems like. I've tried the b43-fwcutter tutorials, but there seems to be a point where magic happens and wireless suddenly appears, but I'm magic..less. [08:54] icogens: It SHOULD be working, you SHOULD at least have an entry in System > Administration > Network now... but you don't [08:54] prodigel: Your trash is in .local, I believe [08:54] clusty: Nope [08:54] pvh_sa|wrk: the setting I wanted you to check was Place Windows > Placement Mode [08:54] or something close to that [08:54] clusty: I have an HP laptop, you must be thinking of someone else [08:55] ghindo: no trash folder there either [08:55] pvh_sa|wrk, does it do the same thing for a newly created user? [08:55] Amaranth: probably. some guy helped me out a lot with hibernation [08:55] Can someone help me? [08:55] crdlb, actually its worse than that. from time to time when i switch desktops the windows are actually frozen in some way - then when i minimize and maximise again suddenly everything works (and i see all the chat on #ubuntu) [08:55] AimLXJ: try setting it first with vesa or something generic [08:55] mornin guys [08:55] prodigel: It should be under .local -> share -> Trash -> files [08:55] good morning perlmonkey [08:55] crdlb, placement mode: smart ? [08:55] clusty: Oh, that was me then. My hack happened to work on your machine too [08:55] prodigel: It's using vesa right now and it's stuck at 800 x 600 resolution [08:56] pvh_sa|wrk: ahh, are you using any unofficial plugins? that's usually caused by buggy plugins that don't damage windows enough [08:56] ghindo: I see it now :D. Since when the change? [08:56] fde: Do I have to modprobe b43.. or something? [08:56] Amaranth: the thing with telling the ACPI that it aint linux? [08:56] AimLXJ: using gnome or kde? [08:56] How do i install custom mouse pointer themes? [08:56] prodigel: kde [08:56] DistroJockey, haven't checked. guess i could make a new user and see - when i upgraded to heron i had issues (which turned out to be esd related) so i removed all gnome settings [08:56] icogens: It's already loaded!

I'm not sure why, but that's how it is [08:57] got a slight problem.. I'm trying to install Ubuntu (latest) from CDROM onto a Dell Optiplex SX270..I'm not sure if the cd or cd drive is crappo, but its slow as f**k... like 5 hrs and still not installed.. blank screen on puter and constant cd drive action... however, I was able to copy the cd contents onto the hdd in an existing Debian Linux (bootable) partition.. is there a way to install without CD? also, the machine [08:57] AimLXJ: if using display setting apps can you see higher resolutions? [08:57] clusty: Yeah. Although it does that by default now in the kernel hardy has [08:57] icogens: The fact that it's being loaded tells me it at least thinks it's supported... but I don't know the magic words I guess... heh [08:57] oops, late [08:57] mornin mnemo [08:58] icogens: for kicks... what does 'ifup wlan0' say? [08:58] prodigel: I'm not sure since I'm not using any display applications [08:58] clusty: They claim to be Windows, iirc. They are aiming for bug for bug compatibility with that code path since it is the only one the BIOS writers test [08:58] soundray: thanks. got it solved. [08:58] pvh_sa|wrk: hmm, it might be one of them then, but it's unlikely [08:58] prodigel: All I did was enable hardware drivers. [08:58] fde: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0.

[08:59] icogens: Alright, well I hate to say this, because I'd rather you use native drivers, but it looks like you're going to have to go with ndiswrapper again... blacklist b43 and remove ndiswrapper from that file. [08:59] Amaranth: :D [09:00] * clusty joins #ubuntu-whine [09:00] :D [09:00] icogens: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist if you forgot [09:00] crdlb, i wonder if its something grabbing focus. like k3b - which has been acting odd for me [09:00] fde: gksudo [09:00] perlmonkey, ahh, sill me put a greater than sign on the end. Doh! [09:00] clusty: I was serious. If you want to talk about this I'm more than happy to do so in there [09:00] hi everyone, i want to maximize the eyecandy factor of gnome, i have the compizfusion and metacity windows managers (the defaults) on 8.04 what kinds of themes should i be looking for to get the maximum alpha blended sexiness going on? [09:00] fde: Gots it. [09:01] soundray: irrelevant... it has issues with things like Firefox according to the justification I've seen... and who runs Firefox with sudo? [09:01] AimLXJ: you could edit xorf.conf by hand [09:01] can anybody suggest a diff utility that's functional for english text (as opposed to code)? diff seems to be useless for changes within a paragraph :/ [09:01] amirman84: Emerald and Emerald themes? [09:01] aargh crap ok help :) I have tried twice to install 8.04 from a new install, during the "select and install" phase I get the error "Installation step failed" and it exits, I have written a new cd from the image just in case there was something wrong with the CD [09:01] prodigel: Okay but I don't know what to type down. [09:02] hehe, "Intrepid Ibex"? [09:02] cwillu: diff -a [09:02] fde: please, it's a much easier rule to stick to: graphical programs with gksudo, command-line with sudo. Just recommending -- I know it's your choice. [09:02] ghindo: do emerald themes install normally through the theme manager? [09:02] AimLXJ: are you acustomed with console? [09:02] That's what they're calling v8.10? [09:02] !intrepid [09:02] Intrepid Ibex is the code name for Ubuntu 8.10, due October 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidIbex [09:02] prodigel: No [09:02] AimLXJ: use your preferred editor to open /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:02] amirman84: Nah, you use another program - can't remember which at the moment. Check Synaptic [09:03] ghindo: will those themes play nice within compiz-fusion and metacity? [09:03] is a bz2 a compresed format [09:03] fde, that's just normal diff [09:03] will emerald themes work with compiz-fusion and metacity? [09:03] hey. Seemingly after a recent update, my FUSA has started showing only users who have logged in since the last boot (and probably logged out after their login). Any ideas folks? [09:03] fde, I need something that can diff based on word boundaries, basically [09:04] cwillu: -a is "treat everything as text" [09:04] prodigel: Okay what do I type down? [09:04] fde, yes, but the files are already text [09:04] fde, diff doc1 doc2 == diff -a doc1 doc2 [09:04] hyyyyyyyyyyyyy [09:04] everyone: do emeral themes work within compiz-fusion and metacity? [09:04] emerald [09:05] cwillu: diff based on word boundaries -- can you elaborate? [09:05] eye crie nowe [09:05] what command do I run to tell what wireless card I have? [09:05] soundray, as opposed to line-based (i.e., showing me in a sensible way where the changed word is) [09:05] JPSman: is it USB or PCI? [09:06] amirman84: I think Emerald replaces Metacity, if I remember correctly [09:06] any one can help me run a .sh file [09:06] soundray, I'm just about to write a filter to convert the docs to 80 char, but that's still going to give alot of garbage output [09:06] fde: uh....internal? its a laptop [09:06] thanks guys [09:06] I think the best option is to make a new partition, download the alternate desktop iso image, and install like that [09:07] Is there any reason my Xubuntu install is not running PulseAudio even though it's listed in the 8.04 release notes? It's a fresh install, not dist-upgrade. [09:07] JPSman: Lets see if that means PCI... lspci | grep -i wireless return anything? [09:07] lemmme try [09:07] fde: Thanks for the help in anycase, I'll try to get ndiswrapper workin again, although it was having problems with randomly not connecting to anything. [09:07] phew, been a while since i installed linux [09:07] bazhang: can I pm you? [09:07] perlmonkey, yeah, probably the way to go. Assuming nothing in that second link helped :) [09:07] icogens: It was likely conflicting with b43, which isn't working... so I had you blacklist it. [09:07] :) [09:07] soundray, sure [09:08] !install | perlmonk [09:08] perlmonk: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation.

[09:08] fde: Ah, was b43 standard with 8.04 installation? And would ssb also conflict? [09:09] fde: k doing that [09:09] JPSman: Probably broadcom or atheros [09:09] icogens: ssb was a dependency of b43 ... so if you blacklist b43, it won't load ssb [09:10] icogens: See, there was a good reason to paste it after all :) [09:10] 342 [09:10] can i search my menu to find out where something is? for instance brasero - its installed, not seeing it in the menu, but i might be looking in the wrong place [09:10] fde: Excellent. I just found and grabbed the exe that contains my driver inf, how would I go about extracting it? [09:10] icogens: you can try seeing what wine makes of it? [09:11] pvh_sa|wrk, It's usually in Applications - Sound & Video [09:11] icogens: wine whatever.exe ... you might have to install it though... [09:11] DistroJockey, what an odd place to put it. but can i search my menu somehow? [09:11] fde: If anyone asks, don't tell them that it was a self extracting file and I didn't think to check that before asking *cough* [09:11] reply yeah, is an odd place. Not that I know of. [09:11] fde: holy hell I did lsusb and I get 1 Realtek Semiconductor Corp [09:12] fde: so would that be an internal USB wireless? [09:12] pvh_sa|wrk: That menu really ought to be "Multimedia" to be more accurate. [09:12] * perlmonkey has splashed out on new hardware this week, replaced that old CRT with a 19" TFT and upgraded my aging systems 256mb with 1GB ram :D [09:12] pvh_sa|wrk, oops, reply hehe. I'd think Accessories is a better place [09:13] DistroJockey, yeah. or system tools or something. since i'm using this to write a DVD full of data :P [09:13] FINALLY managed to get my webcam working under Linux..woohoo [09:13] pvh_sa|wrk, fde : better yet Utilities :) [09:13] can any1 tell me any gud sources to learn java. [09:13] what's the linux alternative to ms's domain controller? [09:13] JPSman: I have no idea what module that would use, and google isn't being particularly enlightening :( [09:13] maybe i should change my bios to run on onboard sound card [09:14] DistroJockey: nah... cuz it generally contains Media related things... not random utilities. [09:14] DistroJockey, indeed. but it would be nice to be able to search the menu [09:14] can any1 tell me any gud sources to learn java? [09:14] 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? [09:14] fde, I mean for the placement of burning software [09:14] panesar_sandeep, google is a good resource [09:14] fde, I never burn sound/video [09:14] DistroJockey: Ubuntu tries to avoid "System Tools"... so maybe Accessories... idk [09:14] Hello i was trying to get into linux development and i was wondering what language the .c exetension [09:14] panesar_sandeep: http://www.javacoffeebreak.com/tutorials/gettingstarted/index.html [09:15] Flip2405: that C, you may need to install gcc [09:15] fde, :) hence my suggestion of Accessories or a new menu called Utilities [09:15] DracoZA, no i didn't meant about info, but sum buk or ebuk that may be helpful for learning java coding/programming. [09:16] ActuionParsnip No no i have that i know im not getting any errors just wondering what language the .c extension is wrote in [09:16] * DistroJockey has gone oftopic and apologises [09:16] * DistroJockey can't spell either [09:16] DistroJockey: i'm in #ubuntu-offtopic , join us [09:17] cwillu: you could pipe through tr -s ' ' '\n' (well maybe not) [09:17] Isn't it possible to make comments in pdf files, with the default Document Viewer, if not, is there another reader I could use, or can I get some plugin for Document Viewer, to make comments?

Doesn't matter though if it's working now... [09:26] omg thank you [09:26] HendriXXX: you could mv or rm the file and have it recreated [09:26] fips: you were told that about 10 times... hah [09:27] AimLXJ: make sure its Linux supported in kernel, do a search if it is not you may need drivers [09:27] perlmonkey: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7300 GS] (rev a1) [09:27] i know but i kept doing su -i [09:27] im high [09:27] should be supported in kernel [09:27] how do i chang the name of my computer [09:27] soundray: can i keep my setting if i remove that file? [09:27] fde: Yes, I did restart just now. Also, my rc.local has an rmmod ndiswrapper, and rmmod ssb, then a modprobe ndiswrapper, which seems a bit silly.

[09:39] fips: WHY?! [09:39] cwillu: ok wait [09:39] fips: The error might not mean much to you, but it does to many. [09:39] fde: how do i [09:39] !sudo [09:39] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:39] * perlmonkey at 71% on iso download [09:39] perlmonkey: Yes but how do I know if I have it? [09:39] fips, ctrl+alt+f1 (same+f7 to get back), log in, and you'll be at a terminal === Scribble is now known as Aroha [09:40] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times [09:40] cwillu: i changed my res to 1280x1024 @ 75hz with sudo nvidia-settings and wrote it to the xorg.conf through the program but when i restart it's 800x600/auto @75hz [09:40] AimLXJ: try and install it? [09:40] soundray: ok, but that is not the download page one is directed to from ubuntu homepage when clicking 'download' or is it 'get ubuntu now' [09:40] the page i showed you [09:40] Dvyjones: Does the wireless router have WPA or WEP security? [09:41] Dvyjones wifi in Linux can be a nightmare! I remember the problems I had, if you're lucky to have a chipset thats well supported it can be ok [09:41] fde: No, it has none for now, just to test [09:41] soundray: my point remains it could be more easily available and visible [09:41] fde: But I am going to enable WPA [09:41] perlmonkey: s/in Linux //g [09:41] fde: If its possible [09:41] perlmonkey: there, fixed that for you [09:41] Im geting "grep:memory exhausted" when running $tail -f | grep Ive never seen this before is there a limit or somthing causing this? [09:41] Dvyjones: Hmm... did you actually click one of the networks to get it going? (seems weird, but I think I had to first time too) [09:41] fde: Yes [09:41] perlmonkey: Yea I have both of them and their updated [09:41] Moncky what's txt-string? [09:42] cwillu: re: my problem above this is the xorg - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11629/ [09:42] livingdaylight: your support issue has been solved, though. If you feel Ubuntu needs improving, file a bug. [09:42] cwillu: a sting containing text only [09:42] gordonjcp: thanks [09:42] perlmonkey: actually Linux is the second-easisest OS to get wifi working in [09:42] Dvyjones: You're in roaming mode? Can you go to Manually Configure Wireless or something similar and make sure it's right? (Should be in the same place, below...) [09:42] soundray: after half an hour of being given the wrong links and being patronized for good measure along the way [09:43] gordonjcp: i would not make such a statement [09:43] laeg, looks like you're going into recovery x instead of the regular x; not sure why though [09:43] Where does update-manager place all of its downloaded .deb files? [09:43] firestorm, /var/cache/apt/archives/ [09:43] livingdaylight: now you're *really* going offtopic. Please stop. [09:43] livingdaylight: I wasn't patronizing you at all... I was directing you to the _correct_ way of checking on it... [09:44] perlmonkey: I would, and indeed I just did ;-) [09:44] its irrelevant [09:44] fde: no, soundray was patronizing me, asking me whether i can 'scroll' You were simply giving me the wrong links over and over [09:44] fde: if i try to configure gwget using sudo im getting error like cannot get lock [09:44] wat shd i do now [09:44] fde: Tried that, but it doesn't seem to work, atleast the "Network status" applet (the one with the bar on the side) whows im not connected) [09:44] cwillu: it doesn't feel like recovery [09:44] fde: adam7 gave me the same link you did but at least could see and admit that it did not give me what i was needing and asking for [09:44] livingdaylight: you referred to yourself as a noob. How should I know whether you know what scrolling is, let alone how to do it? [09:45] cwillu: is there anyway i can confirm this? i don't get a recovery message at startup [09:45] livingdaylight: I gave you no incorrect links either... I gave you the links that explain how to _correctly_ check the md5sum... why do things manually that software can do automatically? [09:45] laeg, probably not then, dunno [09:45] perlmonkey: Are you still there? [09:45] * cwillu seriously needs to go to bed :) [09:45] cwillu: ty :) [09:45] soundray: ok, so delete patronizing.... i appreciate you were trying to help [09:45] cwillu: bed is for quitters! [09:46] fde: that page did not give me the checksum to verfy against. === RudyValencia is now known as NotRegexKing [09:46] Dvyjones: I was getting that when I was trying to connect but got the wrong authentication... you're sure you turned off security on the wireless, and are allowing that MAC to access the router? [09:46] livingdaylight: no, but I told you how to get the checksum to check against on the CD... and so did the link... [09:46] AimLXJ yes [09:47] fde: I did a hard-reset on the router, all other comps in the house (bout 8) shows no secure, and mac adress filtering is off [09:47] fde: i guess it just needed rebooted === NotRegexKing is now known as RudyValencia [09:47] fde: I cant select No authentication in Manual configuration though === RudyValencia is now known as easytodrink [09:47] fde: i can tell you just wanna be right... i think we both have better things to do [09:47] Dvyjones: Can you see in the router settings whether that machine connected (have to know the mac address) [09:48] fde: So I just left the password field blank [09:48] livingdaylight: just for you, I've added links to the md5s to the wiki page [09:48] * soundray laughs at livingdaylight's lack of self-awareness [09:48] fde: Nope, its not showing up [09:48] * perlmonkey eats a banana [09:48] adam7 thank you... :) I think it will be usefull for a lot of other people too === easytodrink is now known as RudyValencia [09:49] livingdaylight: I am trying to ensure you that no one was giving you the wrong answer, or being impolite at all... because you aren't aware of how things are done, doesn't make them wrong when someone tries to teach you. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [09:49] * Dvyjones snatches the banana from perlmonkey and eats it himself :P [09:49] :P [09:49] hey anyone know what cause 8.04 to stop after login screen its not a lock up but i have background with nothing. Fresh Install. [09:49] * Dvyjones love bananas [09:49] * perlmonkey gets another banana and turns his back to the room [09:49] joshuag: is it white? [09:49] * soundray shares his banana with poor perlmonkey [09:50] soundray so kind [09:50] :| [09:50] fde: that page did not serve me... full stop. Either you can see that or you can't. adam7 recognized that the page didn't give me what i needed and has now gone and added the checksum number to the page i was referring to. Thank you again [09:50] no its like the standard background i gather [09:50] sorry i don't know what it is [09:50] AimLXJ: I dont know what else to suggest sorry [09:50] Dvyjones: On my router, I have to explicitly define MAC's that can access it... your symtoms seem to match a case where authentication is failing... else it'd return to the computers, rather than the bars. [09:50] like a soft yellowy grey [09:50] * Dvyjones thinks Dvyjones was bad to snatch bananas, and give perlmonkey ten bananas back [09:51] * soundray holds out his hand [09:51] * perlmonkey shares his 10 bananas with selected friends [09:51] perlmonkey: Well not sure if this helps but when I delete the xorg.config file everything goes back to normal but I won't have any drivers for 3D stuff. [09:51] hello [09:51] Dvyjones: Not the icon which you click to connect to a network, that one is returning to the computer, the other one with orange/green bars [09:52] i'd like to add my contacts in vcard format in Kontact but it does not recognise greek characters [09:52] any suggestions? [09:52] AimLXJ its always best to keep a backup of a good/working xorg config and then you can always refer to it and tailor your config how you need it [09:52] perlmonkey: Apparantly there was no backup at all after the upgrade :O [09:53] strange [09:53] veliouras: when you run 'cat yourfile.vcf' in a terminal, do the greek characters display correctly? [09:53] fde: Now it shows the blue bars, but no blue bars are there :S [09:53] usually they have long extensions like a date or something isnt it? [09:53] * fde thinks his brain needs a rest [09:53] perlmonkey: Well atleast now I know that I shouldn't upgrade this way and do a fresh install [09:53] has anyone tried to run (some form of) Ubuntu on a Playstation 2 ? [09:53] yes [09:54] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times [09:54] (and succeeded) ? [09:54] kPanic_: Not that i know of [09:54] fde: I recommend hacking the kernel with a binary editor for relaxation [09:54] kPanic_: No... Black Rhino (if it's still around) was a Debian port to the PS2 [09:54] Dvyjones: i've the same problem here on 8.04 [09:54] i'm on ubuntu 8.04 and 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? [09:54] soundray: mmm... hah, I said a rest though, that'd just make it numb :P [09:55] * perlmonkey has a long standing problem with laptop requiring manual ifdown/ifup before wifi will work after booting [09:55] fde :) [09:55] i think I need the original Linuxdisc from Sony to install blackrhino.. unfort. sony stopped selling those discs [09:55] perlmonkey: Ralink chipset? [09:55] the useradd -G vboxusers tobago seems not work right now... id togago => lot of groups but no vboxusers. is it recommended to add the group to tobago in passwd by vi? [09:55] kPanic_: You can still eBay but prices for those are way too much :p [09:56] tabris|away: you must log out and back in for groups to take effect. [09:56] veliouras: still here? [09:56] that's exactly why I don;t wanna buy ;) .. those eggheads at sony are selling stuff that's supposed to be free :s [09:56] fde, mean me? [09:56] soundray: that's a Netgear WG511T Atheros chipset [09:56] tobago: yeah sorry [09:57] laeg: all i know is i got the same problem... I'd love to hear the solution [09:57] fde, i tried it, but tobago was not added to vboxusers. dunno why. sounds crazy. [09:57] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LT [09:57] tobago: just edit /etc/group then :) [09:57] fde, o.k. [09:57] How do I view the CPU utilization on my two cores ? I looked at top but it only displays an overall as far as I can see? [09:57] hello [09:57] livingdaylight: did you do as i did following the ubuntu guide to disable it? i spoke with someone else who did the exact same thing and has resolved the issue [09:57] bonaldo2000, press the number 1 in top [09:57] bonaldo2000: System > Administration > System Monitor [09:58] fde, wait. /etc/group? no. i meant /etc/passwd [09:58] * perlmonkey iso download complete, cd burn commencing [09:58] DistroJockey: thanks alot! That was easy! [09:58] I guess I'll try to compile a Gentoo distro for MIPS.. maybe I can get it to work on a PS2.. thanks! [09:58] laeg: i wasn't aware of any 'guide' I went to system/preference/sound and switched from 'autodetect' to Alsa [09:58] tobago: you're adding the user to a group... /etc/group ... /etc/passwd changes shell and home folder etc. [09:58] bonaldo2000, :) no problem [09:58] kPanic_: Don't your Debian available?/ [09:58] tobago: also default group is there, but not subsequent groups. [09:59] livingdaylight: that was the guide :) [09:59] laeg: i was watching a movie on vlc put it on pause to see something on tv , half hour later when i resumed there was no sound [09:59] tobago: try 'adduser tobago vboxusers' or go via System-Administration-Users and groups [09:59] livingdaylight: do you watch tv on your pc? tvpc? [09:59] laeg: oh, ok then... well, it fixed nothing over here [09:59] hey all [09:59] tobago: err, sudo of course [09:59] bonaldo2000, htop is a nice tool also [09:59] laeg: no, that was tv separate from pc [09:59] jburd: i'd rather use a source-distro for compiling al the stuff I need.. I came from Gentoo to Ubuntu couple of years ago [09:59] since i upgraded my macbook to ubuntu 8.04 i don't get any sound when i plug external speaker to it (the laptop internal speakers work though), any idea? (the ext. speakers are turned on and plugged in a wall outlet (oh yeah, and their volume isn't set to 0 :P)) [09:59] is it dangerus to use the test deb [10:00] kPanic_: Sure you can, but don't you think you'd end up wasting too much time? :-) [10:00] leif: What do u mean? [10:00] laeg: and no one seems to know what to do? :/ [10:00] fde, in /etc/group is for the groups isn't it? and to add tobago to group vboxusers, i have to edit /etc/passwd and ad the groupnumber of vboxusers to tobago [10:00] livingdaylight: did you open something else in ubuntu that was using sound? i'm sure my issue is the driver isn't sharing sound across multiple applications - pulseaudio blows [10:00] tobago: you just add the username to the line containing vboxdrv after the last : [10:00] !sound [10:00] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:00] Dvyjones: that is not a solution [10:00] jburd; prolly will, but that's better than buying an Xbox360 :p [10:00] laeg: That was for myself :P [10:00] laeg: certainly not initially. I just went back to vlc and hit resume [10:00] tobago: no, that would make that users primary group vboxusers ... that's not what you want. [10:00] Dvyjones: :P [10:01] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LT [10:01] there is a tab in unbunto updater that is named test builds is those dangerus to use [10:01] livingdaylight: i'm always here so lets keep each other up to date with any progress [10:01] boy, it now been two years now that I use linux [10:01] !pm | veliouras [10:01] veliouras: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [10:01] woohoo [10:01] laeg: i then put a different hard disc into laptop with xp on it... and via wubi installed xubuntu... but xubuntu would crash everytime i tried to access external hard drive and play a movie or any media [10:01] lol [10:01] fde, yeah. sorry i mixed smthing up. now i udnerstood. [10:01] understod [10:01] stood [10:01] leif: Normal users should not enable the test repositories [10:02] livingdaylight: breakfast [10:02] ok thanx [10:02] soundray sorry for the delay [10:02] i am here [10:02] veliouras: when you run 'cat yourfile.vcf' in a terminal, do the greek characters display correctly? [10:02] hold on [10:02] fde: should i close those ports? [10:02] ok... i have a plantronics USB headset and wish to use it ... with generic kernel it works..... however virtualbox does not... so i use the server kernel and virtualbox works but USB headset doesnt...?? any ideas? [10:02] laeg: ok... well, i've just burned a new Hardy on disc . My previous install was an upgrade from Gutsy... i presume the sound issues to have totalled my install and just gonna do a fresh install and take it from there [10:03] tobago: It's ok, I wasn't clear enough first time I tried to explain... it's MUCH faster to manage users if you understand /etc/passwd and /etc/group though... just have to remember to give them a password and create their home folder after. [10:03] please help Ubuntu Hardy resolution stuck at 640x480 [10:03] livingdaylight: don't be so hasty [10:03] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LT [10:03] soundray i get "No such file or directory" response [10:03] !attitude | livingdaylight [10:03] livingdaylight: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [10:03] fde: huh? [10:03] :O [10:03] hi [10:03] 60 seconds to burn iso image woooo [10:03] hi [10:03] fde: he hasn't got a bad attitude [10:03] veliouras: by 'yourfile.vcf', I meant the name and location of your vcard file [10:04] fde: are you referring to our previous conversation or ?? [10:04] perlmonkey: First-time burn, or did you have some issues on other burns? [10:04] oh, i didn't catch any previous conversation [10:04] Dvyjones, it was set to HDA Intel (Alsa mixer). I changed it to ALSA PCM via PMA (PulseAudio) but still no sound :-/ [10:04] max [10:04] ok hold on again [10:04] livingdaylight: I just saw what laeg said, wasn't following really... apologies. [10:04] what kind of file is this systeme xxx.o on ubuntu ??? [10:04] nico8481: pulseaudio is buggy [10:04] fde: ok [10:04] Dvyjones: my 1st burn took 11 mins at 4x, and that cd had issues I think, although it checked ok for errors [10:04] what kind of file is this file xxx.o on ubuntu ??? [10:04] ok... i have a plantronics USB headset and wish to use it ... with generic kernel it works..... however virtualbox does not... so i use the server kernel and virtualbox works but USB headset doesnt...?? any ideas? [10:05] hi [10:05] one question [10:05] Dvyjones; that was my 2nd burn, at 52x [10:05] hello all, how to install virtual cdrom ? [10:05] does gnome uses metacity? [10:05] ipkaf: object file... [10:05] maybe a long shot: does anyone here by any change have a HP Compaq NX-series laptop with the latest ubuntu running on it? [10:05] akatsuki: it can but as standard ubuntu uses compiz [10:05] !mountiso | mohamed_ [10:05] mohamed_: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [10:05] akatsuki: Default Windows Manager for Gnome is Metacity, yes. [10:05] which mean firmware file ??? fde [10:05] laeg, yeah but i don't have any ALSA entry in there besides the one that mentions PulseAudio (and the one I was using: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) ) [10:05] thx soundray [10:05] ipkaf: yeah... it's a kernel object. [10:05] perlmonkey: Woot I burned Ubuntu Live CD 8.04 on DVD in 2 minutes on 4x :O [10:05] I wonder if sleep/hibernate works on the latest kernel [10:05] laeg.. de uninstall all compiz so [10:05] soundray: no, i get ???? instead of greek characters [10:05] i guess im using metacity? [10:05] kPanic_ no but I have a vintage Compaq Lite (8086) running Dos 3.2 [10:05] fde: i was about to presume you wanted to resume hostilities :) Look i know and appreciate that you and no one here is getting paid and its volutary... AND i really appreciate it. I want you to know that. [10:06] i can use this file for any linux system [10:06] Dvyjones: :D [10:06] ??? [10:06] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LT [10:06] laeg: what do you mean not so hasty? [10:06] akatsuki: Ubuntu will default you to Compiz if your graphics card is half way decent. [10:06] perlmonkey: LOL [10:06] akatsuki: for an easy and quick way to swap back and fourth install compiz-fusion-icon (tray icon) [10:06] ok thx fde [10:06] soundray: i have transfered all the data from microsoft outlook using outport [10:06] perlmonkey : I guess that hardware isn't really like ehmm. .. compatible? [10:06] i see [10:06] nico8481: i am having issues with pulseaudio myself that have as yet been unresolved [10:06] Dvyjones: ive tried a lot to get bcm worked again, ill send a bug report this week [10:06] KPanic_ that could run Linux easily, but not X [10:07] akatsuki: no [10:07] i mean i try compiz for a while.. but my laptop use to get super hot after a while [10:07] veliouras: the encoding of your file is something other than UTF-8 -- probably ISO8859 or some Windows encoding. You will need something to convert the encoding. [10:07] thats why i uninstall everything of compiz and im using none visual effects [10:07] hello everyone i am having a problem with bluetooth and was curious if any of you know why my bluetooth headset from plantronics is showing up but my lg vx8600 phone is not any ideas what to check for or any workarounds [10:07] livingdaylight: I don't hold a grudge... I'm incapable of it, requires too much energy... I just recalled how you were previously, and thought "don't be hasty" meant you were acting in a similar way. It puts off many, I just try to explain in a mature manner where I think the issue is coming from... [10:07] KPanic_ it was a very early "notebook" way ahead of its time when most laptops of that era were "luggables" has a small 10" LCD mono [10:07] livingdaylight: i mean don't rush a reinstall - you may still find a solution and it will be twice as frustrating if you reinstall and it happens again [10:08] with everything i mean everything... i type compiz on the synaptic.. and everything that was installed.. i uninstall [10:08] soundray: "something" means something extra in ubuntu or in windows? [10:08] How do I get ubuntu to auto-mount a flash drive? [10:08] It used to in 7.10 or whatever, but in 8.04 it does not [10:08] im using zero visual effects and non compiz [10:08] laeg: i'd love it if there was a solution [10:08] im sure about that [10:08] perlmonkey: I have a 2 year old NX-8220, runs Ubuntu beautifully (with AIGLX), but because of the SLAB-allocator (and ATI-prop. drivers) the sleep/hibernate doesn;t work [10:08] how do I do it manually? I just done it and could not get it to be writeable by a normal user. [10:08] livingdaylight: No need to believe I have prior motives or now dislike you because we disagreed once... I'm not like that :D [10:08] livingdaylight: let me know if you find one [10:08] I'm wondering if SLAB was changed it SLUB in 8 [10:09] veliouras: I'm just looking for a Ubuntu tool that would do it. There is a package called libunicode-map-perl [10:09] livingdaylight: What is the issue? [10:09] akatsuki: do as i said to confirm [10:09] kPanic_: ahh, its a common prob with laptops running Linux eh, I have the same prob with my Toshiba Tecra and many other makes/models [10:09] akatsuki: i have to go now [10:09] fde: i hold no grudge either. we got our nickers in a twist for nothing. I just wanted someone to verify my checksums on my iso seeing as there was none given on the downoad page [10:09] soundray please send me a line on this [10:09] Dvyjones: I think this is your problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4798063, its also mine [10:09] fde: oh, its sound [10:09] lets polarize and have a fight about it! [10:09] laeg but you ask me to install compiz [10:09] why? [10:09] !info libunicode-map-perl | veliouras [10:09] i dont need it [10:09] veliouras: libunicode-map-perl (source: libunicode-map-perl): Perl module for mapping charsets from and to UTF16 Unicode. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.112-10 (hardy), package size 468 kB, installed size 1120 kB [10:09] akatsuki: i didn't ask you to install compiz [10:09] livingdaylight: yuck... what sound card? [10:09] hello everyone i am having a problem with bluetooth and was curious if any of you know why my bluetooth headset from plantronics is showing up but my lg vx8600 phone is not any ideas what to check for or any workarounds [10:09] my laptop gets super hot [10:09] is there a mmo in a deb format [10:09] akatsuki: read what i said again. [10:09] so what you mean.. sorry [10:10] perlmonkey: ah.. ok.. it's a bigger problem, not only HP laptops.. okay.. [10:10] akatsuki: what is the make and what cpu spec? [10:10] you say to install compiz-fisoin icon [10:10] it's a tray icon that lets you switch back and foruth from compiz to metacity very easily [10:10] veliouras: I don't think that's the best solution though, having to write a Perl script [10:10] yes [10:10] ok thanks [10:10] fde: i was watching a movie with vlc when i put it on pause to do something else. when i came back sound was dead. I went to system/preference/sound and switched everything from autodetect to alsa but with no success. I was told it has something to do with puseaudio being buggy [10:10] hp laptop and cpu amd turion [10:10] akatsuki: it's the package 'fusion-icon' [10:10] whats that [10:10] jsoftw, so you did get the USB device to mount automatically but can't write to it? [10:10] for what i need that? [10:11] soundray do we have an easier solution? i am not an experienced user [10:11] im just asking if im using metacity [10:11] thats all [10:11] DistroJockey: no I had to mount it manually, and cant write to it. [10:11] ok... i have a plantronics USB headset and wish to use it ... with generic kernel it works..... however virtualbox does not... so i use the server kernel and virtualbox works but USB headset doesnt...?? any ideas? [10:11] (as a normal user) [10:11] livingdaylight: i didn't tell you that pulse audio was your problem, you told me that ;) [10:11] I had a HP omnibook laptop once (late 1990s), it looked something like an Apple Powerbook [10:11] whichi windows manager i am using thats all i want to know [10:11] but im sure im not using compiz [10:11] thats for sure [10:11] livingdaylight: hardy is using pulseaudio ... likely something played a sound for some alert, and vlc wasn't using pulse. [10:11] akatsuki: i've told you a solution to that. [10:11] jsoftw, normally it would automount. Must be a deeper issue [10:11] akatsuki: You can control which window manager youre running by installing fusion-icon [10:11] im guessing that the kernel does not have USB audio and virtualization... whats best ?? building my own? [10:11] livingdaylight: Is sound still working elsewhere? [10:12] perlmonkey: whow.. that's old.. is it still working like it's supposed to? [10:12] fde: no, not even after rebooting [10:12] DistroJockey: *shrug* it used to [10:12] jsoftw, just a flash drive? [10:12] kPanic_ my toshiba is weird.. sometimes it will sleep and resume fine, and other times it wont wake up, its like random :D [10:12] yeah [10:12] fde: what is the command lmpcia? [10:12] ook [10:12] i understand rutgermasi [10:12] thanks [10:12] to detect my hardware? [10:12] kPanic_ in the end I just disabled suspend/sleep function [10:12] livingdaylight: lspci | grep -i audio [10:12] hello everyone i am having a problem with bluetooth and was curious if any of you know why my bluetooth headset from plantronics is showing up but my lg vx8600 phone is not any ideas what to check for or any workarounds [10:12] jsoftw, can you check if the user you are using can mount external devices? [10:12] perlmonkey: me too, but that really sux coz it takes ages to boot :s [10:13] yeah its a real pain [10:13] veliouras: you said you used outport -- is this Windows software? [10:13] livingdaylight: list pci devices ... only return things that match audio, but don't care about case [10:13] livingdaylight: maybe you mean lspci? [10:13] soundray yes [10:13] perlmonkey: you're toshiba; does it have ATI-video> [10:13] fde: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [10:13] hay if my drives dont show on desktop after startup does that mean they are not mounted? [10:13] DistroJockey: I was mounting it as root... I was unaware you could mount stuff as a normal user... [10:13] hellop [10:13] rutgermasi: that was it, thank you :) [10:13] its been a while [10:13] livingdaylight: snd-hda-intel ... lots of people have issues with that, but it _was_ working... [10:14] does metacity is the manager that uses less memory? [10:14] DistroJockey: fixed now, used a different umask.. [10:14] or which is the one? [10:14] what i've to do to use TOR on FF 3.0 ? [10:14] i dont need design.. i hate design [10:14] hay if my drives dont show on desktop after startup does that mean they are not mounted? [10:14] i just want a cold laptop [10:14] jsoftw, normally you will need to be root to mount [10:14] kPanic_ has S3 SuperSavage, 16mb vdram [10:14] fde: i agree, it was working. Suddenly stopped and haven't got as much as a beep out of my system since [10:14] livingdaylight: does cat /dev/urandom | /dev/dsp work after entering 'sudo -i' ? (ctrl + c to stop the noise if it works) [10:14] jsoftw, ahh, good to hear :) [10:14] kPanic_ not too shabby a card, had better luck in Linux with it (and as a mythtv client) than other graphics cards in past [10:15] livingdaylight: uhh > not | sorry [10:15] Hi.. im trying to figure out why my wireless card isnt detecting any wireless networks.. im on ubuntu 8.04 and my wireless card is a : Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and i think its set on wlan0... Help? [10:15] btw i cant found.. fusion-icon [10:15] :?( [10:15] hello everyone i am having a problem with bluetooth and was curious if any of you know why my bluetooth headset from plantronics is showing up but my lg vx8600 phone is not any ideas what to check for or any workarounds [10:15] livingdaylight: trying to see if it's just that user that has no rights, or if there is a deeper issue. [10:15] fde: i'm in a different hard drive now [10:15] perlmonkey: ah.ok.. that's why it prolly sometimes works; using ATI-cards suspend2ram and hibernate just never works... system locks up completely [10:15] btw.. i have lots of wireless networks in the area including my own.. [10:15] :( [10:16] akatsuki : 8.04? [10:16] I guess I have to get a new laptop.. was planning that anyway [10:16] any bluetooth experts at all? [10:16] barlrol, type mount in a terminal to see what is mounted [10:16] kPanic_ are you going to stay with Compaq/HP or try something else? [10:16] none can help me? [10:16] Hello. I am seeking for an application that would do automatically backups of certain folders for me. Can anyone point me to one? [10:16] kPanic_: Try to stick to Intel stuff if at all possible... intel graphics etc etc... [10:16] veliouras: do you get a help message when you type iconv -? [10:16] what is a .chm file and how do i view it ? [10:16] fde: coz laeg mentioned having an issue with it, i mentioned having the same problem. I'm currently in a differnt hard drive running xp and installed xubuntu with wubi. But i'm not happy with xubuntu either [10:16] iconv- [10:16] I recommend Toshiba a lot for laptops, very durable machines and quite well supported in Linux, toshutils etc [10:16] My bcm4306 (14e4:4320) wireless card doesn't work... I can see all networks in NetworkManager, but when I try to connect to them, the icon spins for about 30 seconds, before the icon switch to the orange-triangle "No network connection" icon. In syslog, I get the message "Old device 'wlan0' activating, won't change" many times. I am using Ubuntu 8.04 LT [10:17] veliouras: please enter the - hyphen and the ? question mark as well [10:17] kPanic_: they have _very_ good support for Linux... Nvidia and ATI don't even release their specs, let alone provide open source drivers. [10:17] Deags: what are you trying to connect? [10:17] Vegombrei, it's a compressed html file used in Windows [10:17] no 8.04 [10:17] you mean in a terminal window or here? [10:17] 7.10 [10:17] perlmonkey: not sure yet.. I love HP coz of their service, but they use ATI (except when you have the laptop built by specs, expensive) [10:17] DistroJockey: how do i view it thru ubuntu ? [10:17] my vx8600 phone its an lg phone my plantronics headset connects but my phone wont any ideas? [10:17] fde: i was just gonna burn and do a fresh install of Hardy on the other drive as it had been an uprade from Gutsy and upgrades can be problematic, when laeg mentioned to to be hasty [10:17] veliouras: terminal window [10:17] kPanic_ aye, i like HP as a company too, but i dislike ATI i must say [10:18] livingdaylight: I'm not a fan of XFce at all. I think you should either use a DE, or use a straight WM... XFce fails at both if you ask me. [10:18] how can i install fusion-icon? [10:18] anyone? [10:18] soundray i get "command not found" [10:18] Vegombrei, may not be compressed. You could try just opening it with gedit.(will be alot of weird stuff though) [10:18] Deags: does it detect your phone ? [10:18] hi, with hardy my thinkpad gets stuck when i pull out the dvd-drive, this was working well with gutsy :( [10:18] akatsuki: synaptic package manager? [10:18] I'm actually thinking of getting a MacBook [10:18] nah and im not sure why i read on the internet that it works just fine [10:18] I run XFCE on my laptop cuz it runs way faster on my hardware challenged lappy [10:18] veliouras, terminal [10:18] yes i try [10:18] akatsuki: which distro.. [10:18] livingdaylight: If it's a fresh upgrade, and you have backed up things you want to keep, go for it... saves time in most cases if you can do without the data lost. [10:19] veliouras: which version of Ubuntu do you have? [10:19] ubuntu [10:19] Vegombrei: I dont think you have the right program (its probably the windows version) [10:19] sweet hardware, NVidia graphics, lot's of battery-time.. [10:19] soundray 8.04 [10:19] this is #ubuntu .. [10:19] DistroJockey: its a ubuntu for dummies doccument .. why would someone compress it thru windows ? [10:19] veliouras, miss, sorry [10:19] <|Dreams|> akatsuki: sudo apt-get fusion-icon [10:19] fde: yea, i think so too. Doens't seem like there is a straightforward solution. I just wish i knew what went wrong so it doen'st happen again [10:19] rutgermasi: its a ubuntu for dummies doccument .. why would someone compress it thru windows ? [10:19] I have a dual battery setup on my laptop, i can squeeze 5-6 hrs out of it usually [10:19] <|Dreams|> sorry sudo apt-get install fusion-icon [10:19] Vegombrei, lol, no idea. You have a link to it? [10:19] Deags: well.. if its not ditected, did you check the bluetooth is powered on your phone? (lowest level question) [10:20] Vegombrei: where did you download it? [10:20] can someone remind me where the login themes are stored [10:20] fde: are people being recommended to go to 'sound' and switch everyting to Alsa? [10:20] veliouras: did you enter it exactly as I said? "iconv -?" -- everything between the " quotes [10:20] yes [10:20] dreams.. didnt work [10:20] DistroJockey: nah .. downloaded it from mininova the torrent site ... hey can i send it to you .. mebbe you can figure out hor to view it and tell me how [10:20] i was reading how to do it here and i sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-gnome gnome-vfs-obexftp like it told me and then scanned by using hcitool scan and yes its powered on and put into the discovery mode it only gives me 1 min so i have to work fast everytime === zOrK is now known as carlosf [10:20] <|Dreams|> do you have extra repos enabled? [10:20] akatsuki@akatsuki-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get fusion-icon [10:20] E: Invalid operation fusion-icon [10:20] perlmonkey: that's a lot! Regular usage of high processor-usage? [10:20] akatsuki@akatsuki-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get fusion-icon [10:20] E: Invalid operation fusion-icon [10:20] I dont know about other laptops, but Toshiba make batteries that fit into the cd/floppy disk bay, secondary battery packs [10:20] livingdaylight: for kicks... try hitting ESC when prompted (QUICKLY, you only get 3 secs) and go to "Rescue mode" ... there is apparently some magic "fixall" option or something... it's magic, but it fixes so many strange issues. [10:21] akatsuki: add install after the apt-get [10:21] <|Dreams|> sudo apt-get install fusion-icon i know it works i just installed it [10:21] soundray sorry [10:21] what does irc mean when i need to be idendified [10:21] i missed the space [10:21] evening all, um, some issues with update manager "W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release.gpg Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)" [10:21] veliouras: that's important too [10:21] very and over again [10:21] livingdaylight: no, certainly not... that makes the situation worse actually... because Ubuntu doesn't use dmix. [10:21] perlmunkey , :) sup :) hey you know where the files for the login screens are stored ? [10:21] KPanic_ it is indeed, my laptop only has a P3-933 which does not get so hot as the more modern CPUs, but its sufficient for my needs really [10:21] DistroJockey: how doi send you a file thru irssi ? [10:21] Vegombrei, sure. sec [10:21] veliouras: are you getting a help message this time? [10:21] soundray i get a list of options. now what? [10:21] fde: ok, cheers [10:21] kakoonia.. i get this... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [10:21] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [10:21] Vegombrei: http://www.linux.com/feature/122171 [10:21] veliouras: what's the name of the file you want to import into kontact? [10:22] livingdaylight: dmix is the default alsa sound server... pulseaudio is lower latency, but the implementation in Ubuntu is poor currently honestly. [10:22] <|Dreams|> do u have a package manager open? [10:22] akatsuki: you got any apt synaptics runnning? [10:22] <|Dreams|> synaptic [10:22] moDumassest, you are using a local proxy which is diying [10:22] perlmonkey: lol.. i was just complaining in a dutch chatroom bout the high temp the processor : 85 c :s [10:22] soundray it's a list of vcf files [10:22] phew! [10:22] joaopinto, im not though [10:22] veliouras: how many? [10:22] 250+ [10:22] joaopinto, using a local proxy i mean [10:22] kakoonia: i was reading how to do it here and i sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-gnome gnome-vfs-obexftp like it told me and then scanned by using hcitool scan and yes its powered on and put into the discovery mode it only gives me 1 min so i have to work fast everytime [10:23] Vegombrei, join me in #.chm [10:23] moDumassest, so, your entries on sources.list are poiting to localhost:4001 ? [10:23] how do i get a indenditet on irc [10:23] no [10:23] now i got this [10:23] Reading package lists... Done [10:23] Building dependency tree [10:23] Reading state information... Done [10:23] E: Couldn't find package fusion-icon [10:23] akatsuki: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:23] perlmonkey, are you the same guy i know from EFnet ? [10:23] it's compiling stuff, and I have compiz running.. the proc and video are connected ; hence the temp. [10:23] in the future people will look back and laugh about how hot laptops got [10:23] joaopinto, gimme a sec and il checkit [10:23] !vmware [10:23] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [10:23] but now tis no joke, they get very hot, all that heat is wasted energy [10:23] <|Dreams|> enable extra repos akatsuki [10:23] akatsuki: enable common repos using system->administration->software sources [10:23] Deags: sorry budd im not sure then.. i installed only the obex-ftp.. and it worked out for me.. try to scan it through the bluetooth manager icon you probobly got on... "browse device" and try connecting.. through it ... [10:23] Likii: no thats an imposter :P [10:24] !fusion-icon [10:24] Factoid fusion-icon not found [10:24] veliouras: let's try this: cd to the directory where they are located. Then run "for i in *.vcf ; do iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-7 --to-code=UTF-8 $i ; done >>kontact.vcf " [10:24] No vmware-server in hardy yet? Anyone know if/when it'll show up? [10:24] perlmonkey : yup, but mine has to be cleaned too .. tabacco + cathear = HOT [10:24] akatsuki: Which ubuntu you running? [10:24] haha [10:24] kakoonia: i did no dice i wonder why other people can see theres and i do the same thing and nothing [10:24] I guess I have to call HP again [10:24] veliouras: this should create a single file called kontact.vcf which you should import into kontact. [10:25] gutsy [10:25] HP make lovely printers and workstations [10:25] soundray thanks. hold on please [10:25] I have them :P [10:25] joaopinto, i did install tor though [10:25] joaopinto, me sources.list http://pastebin.org/35395 [10:25] veliouras: do you know how to copy and paste? Easier than typing [10:25] does anyone remember what HP's Unix OS was called? [10:25] perlmonkey: I've had good experience with their servers too actually... [10:25] HPUX [10:25] hp-ux [10:25] oh yes [10:26] soundray :P [10:26] perron, it's HP-UX [10:26] is that still going/supported? [10:26] yes [10:26] dunno.. [10:26] im still getting [10:26] E: Couldn't find package fusion-icon [10:26] joaopinto: and the "-" is a substitute for "S" I'm told. ;-) [10:26] kakoonia: u think if i wined the cd that came with the blutooth usb drive it would work? [10:26] why use HPUX when you can get FreeBSD [10:26] hello, can someone help me? [10:26] is there any other way to know which window manager I am using? [10:26] any one can help me whit getting a idendifi on irc [10:26] I installed ubuntu, and it was working fine [10:26] osh_, you are misinformed [10:27] im pretty sure is metacity.. if im not using compiz then is metacity i guess [10:27] ? [10:27] then I installed a bunch of updates and now my network connection won't work [10:27] akatsuki: well fusion isnt on the repositories for gutsy.. sec.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3163821&postcount=8 [10:27] grrr i hate my neighbours [10:27] hows a monkey to code with all these noise distractions [10:27] moDumassest, from the error message, you must have a proxy configuration , eventually pointing to the tor service (that localhost 4001) [10:27] my neighbours hate me ( i'm DnB dj :)) [10:27] I think it's because of the local loopback interface [10:27] :D [10:27] how do I remove it? [10:27] moDumassest, check /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/* [10:27] soundray i get "iconv: illegal input sequence at position 31" [10:28] IMD: don't [10:28] joaopinto, im googling a solution, thanks [10:28] veliouras: okay [10:28] Deags: i dunno, didnt try it.. [10:28] IMD: that won't solve it [10:28] joaopinto: I've worked with it. Both HPsUX, Slowaris and all other old dragons. They all had their quirks that made them annoying in some ways, good in others. [10:28] kPanic_: Why use FreeBSD when you have Linux? Same question. [10:28] coz it's a lot safer ? [10:28] kPanic_: How so? [10:29] jails! [10:29] kPanic_: chroot [10:29] i'd rather use a jail [10:29] joaopinto, i have no apt.conf, but i do have a apt.conf.d [10:29] soundray now what? is it ready? [10:29] Linux is not Unix eh [10:29] but that's only for servers [10:29] is there anyway to know which window manager i am using? [10:29] my daytoday-laptop is ubuntu [10:29] kPanic_: I'd rather an OS with RBAC/MAC implementations that don't suck [10:29] all right what should I do then? [10:29] veliouras: I assumed that the encoding of your .vcfs was iso8859-7, as this is a standard Greek encoding. Apparently it's something different, though [10:29] another one that is not fusion-icon [10:29] perlmonkey: not unix? [10:29] akatsuki: didnt you try the link i gave you? [10:30] fde: are you good with bluetooth by chance u seem like a pretty smart cookie lol? [10:30] hal: we were discussing Unix OS's === avc_afk is now known as acuster [10:30] fde: , kPanic_: When you're done debating Linux/xBSD perhaps you could tell us if Emacs or Vi is better... >;-) [10:30] soundray a new file is created though. should i try to import this? [10:30] Deags: I have no bluetooth devices, so no experience really... System > Administration > Bluetooth is where I'd start though. [10:30] LOL.. [10:30] osh_ its personal choice? I prefer vi myself its quick and easy [10:30] damn.. i forgot i needed some help too... [10:30] 999 [10:30] kakoonia I did [10:31] its what you're used to I guess [10:31] Hi.. im trying to figure out why my wireless card isnt detecting any wireless networks.. im on ubuntu 8.04 and my wireless card is a : Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and i think its set on wlan0... Help? [10:31] veliouras: it's worth trying [10:31] but im not an user [10:31] there [10:31] osh_ : im lazy; pico ;) [10:31] so i cant take the file [10:31] kakooia: did you enter the correct wifi station settings? name, channel etc [10:31] osh_: Linux/BSD is arguable in a sane fashion... emacs vs vi is all personal choice, nothing particularly technical to comparisons. [10:31] ok hold on [10:31] perlmonkey: depends on the task at hand for me. emacs for scripting, vi for quick edits. [10:31] !sound [10:31] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [10:31] akatsuki: ahh.. damn.. you can register though.. but sec.. [10:31] !bluetooth [10:31] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [10:32] thx [10:32] fde: well put [10:32] soundray u did it! [10:32] !yay | veliouras [10:32] veliouras: Glad you made it! :-) [10:32] u r my hero! [10:32] so what do I do? [10:32] it was working fine and a software update borked it [10:32] veliouras: para kalo [10:33] !repeat | IMD [10:33] IMD: 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.

[10:33] actually; for me Vi is enough; it's on every base-system.. .. concering linux vs xbsd; i'm used to using FreeBSD, but Ubuntu is just plain easy.. no hassle [10:33] isnt there a new "improved" version of vi which has an interface a bit like emacs? I have tried it once I think, but prefer the good old simple version [10:33] perlmonkey: ye.. i tried that.. didnt work, but im mostly intersted that it will find available wireless networks.. like it needs to wake up or something.. i dunno.. when i tried to feed it with my wireless networks essid+wep key nothing happened (all info was correct) [10:33] hmm why does irc say i need to be identified when i conect to a new forum [10:33] Someone please help me with creating a wiki page @ wiki.ubuntu.com/ [10:33] veliouras: it's worth remembering iconv, in case you need to convert other Windows files to Ubuntu's encoding [10:34] perlmonkey: weird cuz if you've typed 'vi' in Ubuntu, you're using vim ... which is vi improved. [10:34] kaoonia: oh that sounds like a driver issue.. did you try and bring it up manually? ifdown x and ifup x (where x is the name of the device) [10:34] veliouras: it's documented in 'man iconv' [10:34] Martiini: What page would you create? [10:34] soundray u r right. but i don't remeber how to do it! [10:34] perlmonkey: vi itself is a pain to use. [10:34] ok thanks again! [10:34] kacoonia: may also be config issue, make sure you're using the right device name, a common error with wifi setup [10:34] fde: again I'd say it depends on the task at hand. linux does some things great, bsd shines in other areas. if either was missing we'll all be missing somethings. [10:34] rutgermasi: comprehensive and complete list of linux backup solutions/applications [10:34] fde: ahh yes thats it, vim [10:34] fde : only if y're not used to it .. (as is anything else) [10:34] I think I've found a bug, place your mouse pointer on one of the lines under a word at http://www.ekuriren.se/hermes/article/EK-20050124-06_1.html and it should start rapidly changing between arrow and hand, right? [10:35] Martiini: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide [10:35] krim_, Trying now o_o [10:35] * osh_ needs to get some lunch. [10:35] this is strange i cant concet to a irc sever [10:35] smmagic: Has to be exactly on the line [10:35] kPanic_: very true... I shouldn't have stated that line at all... sorry. [10:35] rutgermasi: yea, I have read that and registered .. if you read that page , you can see there is no way to start a page [10:35] leif: you are connected to freenode ;) [10:35] Can't get it to work krim_ [10:36] yeah when i want to conect to #blender on free node i cant [10:36] perlmonkey : hehehe!! i was looking for that command up/down, i tried iwconfig wlan0 power up.. i remembered something about it.. and how do i check which driver is loaded? [10:36] fde: sorry for what? Having an opinion? ;) [10:36] krim_: it's a feature :) [10:36] oops [10:36] on a 2 client [10:36] Just did,, krim_ [10:36] Hm, are you using Firefox 3? Hardy? [10:36] Martiini: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/PageCreation , To create a page go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pagename [10:36] i need to do some maintenance on my system using a live CD -- i know the standard *installer* does not support installing to a luks filesystem, but does anyone know offhand whether cryptsetup is on it? [10:36] firefox 3, hardy. krim_ [10:36] kakoonia: lsmod will show all drivers loaded [10:36] (if not, i'll have to go get knoppix or something) [10:36] smmagic: And it worked now? [10:36] yeah, I was doing the wrong thing, heh [10:36] !iconv [10:37] Factoid iconv not found [10:37] !kernel panic [10:37] Factoid kernel panic not found [10:37] croddy: You can install cryptsetup with the live cd [10:37] bummer [10:37] Is swiftfox a lot faster than firefox? [10:37] croddy apt-get install cryptsetup [10:37] no paulcros it is not [10:37] smmagic: Ah good, I guess I'll find somewhere to report it [10:37] hi all can anyone tell me how to install XMMS player? [10:37] croddy: It's not, try the alternate installer if you want encrypted fs's [10:37] * kPanic_ thinks it's time for SIESTA :D [10:37] on ubuntu [10:37] paulcros: SwiftFox just sets some configs in Firefox. [10:38] kakoonia: if you unplug the card and plug back in, and then do dmesg, you will see what driver its trying to use [10:38] krim_, before you do, perhaps install opera and try? [10:38] fde, i don't need an installer that supports it, i need a livecd environment that supports it [10:38] dngr, XMMS is no longer available on the repositories, you should use one of the existing media players instead [10:38] thanks Lokii- and rutgermasi i forgot about installing stuff from APT on the liveCD [10:38] Dnz or you can recompile the kernel and add encryption if its not already in it [10:38] kakoonia: will also give status/any errors, might be helpful [10:38] and install the cryptsetup package [10:38] croddy, oh thank you. so thats to say I no need to install the swiftfox after firefox. [10:38] and your ready to go [10:38] paulcros: Everything SwiftFox does, other than that thing on the bottom of the window, you can do with Firefox manually, if you know what you're doing. [10:38] can you tell me any of good media players for Ubuntu [10:38] Dnz, it's gone, try audacious [10:38] krim_: the dotted line changes to a continuous line on mouseover. This removes it from under the pointer, which causes it to be changed back. This causes it to cycle. That's not a bug -- it's expected behaviour ( smmagic) [10:38] Dnz: VLC is a good mediaplayer [10:39] !player | Dnz [10:39] Dnz: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [10:39] perlmonkey: well plugit out physically is too messy.. [10:39] if you want an XMMS clone, that is, if you have a large library perhaps rhythmbox or amarok [10:39] croddy: ok then what rutgermasi said [10:39] !player [10:39] Dnz: if you liked XMMS, you will like audacious [10:39] akatsuki: did you manage to downloadd the file? [10:39] kakoonia: its only of those internal tiny cards? [10:39] *one [10:39] perlmonkey: Yup. [10:39] Dnz: What kinda player do you usually like? [10:39] <[1]IMD> problem fixed [10:39] fde, Oh I see. I always thought swiftfox did some tweak by CPU. [10:39] <[1]IMD> pebcak [10:39] Thanx ALL [10:39] kakoonia: ahh ok, just do a grep on dmesg for the device or something related [10:39] Winamp:P lol [10:39] thanx all [10:40] <[1]IMD> but the issue was rather :psyduck: [10:40] perlmonkey: Ye.. im gonna go and try everything from the starts.. [10:40] :) [10:40] hello, i have problems with the package management. it warns me about an inconsistent package that i tried to install. there is no way to reinstall the .deb. what can i do? [10:40] I'm running feisty on my box. It is server box, so I really don't need X there, so I want to upgrade from desktop feisty to server edgy. Is it possible with do-release-upgrade would do it? [10:40] Dnz XMMS is next to the same as winamp but give amarok a try i can guarantee you will fall in love [10:40] perlmonkey: Thanks for the help bro.. [10:40] np [10:40] paulcros: Nope... it mostly does things like making multiple connections to each website... most sites throttle to like 10kb/s [10:40] <[1]IMD> I had the cat5 from the cable modem plugged into one of the switch ports instead of the wan port [10:40] loki where to get? [10:40] <[1]IMD> the confusing thing is it's been like that for a good month and it was working fine [10:41] Dnz sudo apt-get install amarok [10:41] paulcros: Swift just doesn't let you go high enough that you get IP banned by some sites :P [10:41] me goes back to cutting PCB's with a hacksaw while chewing on dried banana chips [10:41] fde, :) [10:41] why does my irc say i need to get a indentified on a freenode sever channel [10:41] Lokii-: Looks like audacious will be better for him. [10:41] loki one problem [10:41] E: Couldn't find package amaro [10:41] Swtty: please run 'sudo apt-get -f install' twice. Paste the output of the second run on http://paste.ubuntu.com and let me have the URL. [10:41] soundray: well it's still weird behaviour, the solid line should detect the area that the dotted line is in or something so it doesn't act weird like that [10:41] Dnz: amarok [10:41] ^^ [10:42] kakoonia i dont === vagothcpp is now known as vagothcpp|dinner [10:42] i was waiting for you lol [10:42] okej [10:42] working [10:42] thanx [10:42] man [10:42] so i guess i have to registrer [10:42] Dnz: If you like Winamp, Amarok will be overkill though.

No installation. How do i use it in Linux/Ubuntu? [10:44] It needs .Net Framework [10:44] DarkRainbow: you could try running it in wine [10:44] * soundray tries maniacally to hack into Lokii-'s account [10:44] !wine | DarkRainbow [10:44] DarkRainbow: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [10:44] DarkRainbow, your only option is to try it with wine [10:44] I tried Wine [10:44] Wine says it needs .NET Framework 2 [10:44] try xp in a virtual environment if not maybe [10:44] Lokii-: Also, in XChat ... XChat > Network List > click Ubuntu Servers then Edit on the right... then Nickserv Password [10:44] your next option, is virtualization [10:44] And that is? [10:45] DarkRainbow: mono [10:45] DarkRainbow: go to microsoft.com and download .NET Framework 2 and execute it with wine [10:45] Swtty: are you doing that? [10:45] I use virtualbox to run xp stuff [10:45] !virtualization | DarkRainbow [10:45] DarkRainbow: 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 [10:45] DarkRainbow: You don't want Wine, you want Mono...

[10:46] no [10:46] But got to reboot into Ubuntu to try .NET Framework [10:46] about as easy as it gets tbh [10:46] kakoonia [10:46] I will get at IRC in Linux [10:46] DarkRainbow: Should already be installed...

[10:48] Dnz: i prefer epiphany [10:48] epiphany and firefox are very similar [10:48] !better [10:48] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots.

[11:45] kakoonia: it should be in the latest kernel I think, but check you have it loaded [11:45] DracoZA: it might be your only option though. my older dell laptop has that problem on 8.04 [11:45] does anyone here use nvidia settings for configuring the performance and operations of the nvidia card? [11:46] someone help me please ~~ [11:46] Nikunj93: ah, right [11:46] anyone know how to install a conky script? [11:46] !conky [11:46] Factoid conky not found [11:46] gordonjcp: so u got it? [11:46] all the cds / dvds will fail out, but 7.10 will install and update just fine [11:46] gordonjcp: any way out? [11:46] Nikunj93: you can adjust the audio delay in mplayer [11:46] !concky [11:46] Factoid concky not found [11:46] Tidus, ok i'll give it a bash otherwise just go back to xp [11:46] how can u say please gordonjcp: [11:46] hello all ;) [11:46] Nikunj93: you may also be able to split the audio and video with mencoder, and recombine them with the right timing [11:46] Nikunj93: it's extremely difficult to do [11:46] kakoonia: modprobe ipw3945 [11:47] Nikunj93: the actual commands are easy enough but getting the timing right is hard [11:47] gordonjcp: can u tell me how because its a real trouble [11:47] perlmonkey: i got iwl3945 loaded instead.. just found a bug thread about it.. BAHH .. [11:47] ahh :( [11:48] Nikunj93: have a look at the documentation for mencoder and mplayer [11:48] kakoonia: http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/INSTALL dunno if that is useful to ya [11:48] has anyone got a tutorial on how to set up horde3 + chora2 on ubuntu for Subversion/ [11:48] perlmonkey: should i just load it with modeprob? or should i disable iwl first?

[13:10] prodigel, thje whole account was flagged as spam? :) thats a lot of spam === pannekake is now known as pingvin [13:11] RobbieRob: you have to close all other applications and then run them === pingvin is now known as pingvinen [13:11] hardy pulseaudio >>> 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 i have any program using sound in the background i don't get sound in any other apps. i have also disabled PulseAudio Session Management on startup in system > prefs > by unchecking but not completely removing from the list but still when i log in grep aux | pulse reports pulseaudio [13:11] I have some troubles with my Gnome ... can anybody help me?! [13:12] one question: why the function "Places->Connect to Server" doesn't save the connection in a persistent way? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and it worked fine in 7.10 [13:12] Dr_willis: sending from a@b.c to x@gmail.com: all mails from a@b.c was considered spam [13:12] akitcita, please specify with plentu of info thanks [13:12] Dr_willis: anyway, false alarm [13:12] wich is the best way for recovering an ubuntu system keeping the home folder safe? [13:13] @laeg All other apps are closed. [13:13] hey folks -- I installed network-manager-pptp, but I don't have the VPN option when i click on network manager -- I've also restarted nm-applet and rebooted...what gives? [13:13] doktoreas: have /home on a separate partition [13:13] danbhfive, the default installation do this? [13:13] hi, I have a bunch of text files on my ubuntu needed to be converted to windows format, is there an easy way to do this? [13:13] hi, I ran in-desktop:/tmp/install.dir.21653/Linux/resource/jre/bin$ ./java [13:13] doktoreas: no [13:14] danbhfive, :( any other solution? [13:14] but it says no such file or directory. but I clearly see the file is there. system is Hardy 64 bit [13:14] I thought about copying the whole home folder and reinstall the system [13:14] and then copy it back [13:14] doktoreas: I still like my solution [13:14] <_PupUser_> Pici: on the #linux they said if I wanted serveral linux distro's then I must have a /boot, is this fact, or just opinion? [13:14] how do you run a 32bit bin on hardy x64? [13:14] danbhfive, I know yours is the best slution, but now the machine haven't that set up [13:15] and need to keep the files safe [13:15] any program that does hq2x filtering on linux? [13:15] _PupUser_, not really true. But it can mak things handier.. - you WILL want to know grub in and out. [13:15] <_PupUser_> Gin: I am going to install ubuntu 32 on my 64! [13:15] I'm using the Ubuntu 8.04 my safe gnome works fine... and my normal gnome session boots up without anything accept the bg image and awn bar on the bottom.. I don't even get nothing by rigtclicking the desktop... or ctrl+alt+del... only thing I can do is restart X ctrl+alt+Backspace... and then I can have the same thing with the normal session and the ok thing with safe gnome... GRRRRR [13:15] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: ok thanx [13:15] doktoreas: yeah, but you can use the livecd to set it up now. There is nothing stopping you, as long as you have extra disk space [13:15] akitcita, sounds like a driver issue; this may take some time to fix so you need to be patient [13:16] danbhfive, I haven't thought about it tanks :D [13:16] _PupUser_, i have puppylinux, and geexbox both booting off the same partition. but the ubuntu install is the one handling the booting. so i have 2 different /boot dirs. [13:16] I am trying to get my sound working with internet DJ console but it isnt work. Is there anyone that can help me troubleshoot my sound card issues? [13:16] bazhang, ok... thanks [13:16] so you mean to use the extraspace for creating a new partition, and move the files inside it? [13:16] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: i have puppylinux to! [13:16] akitcita, which video card do you have; what drivers have you installed; how did you install them [13:16] _PupUser_, so i guessed from the nick. :) [13:17] bazhang, if it helps I have had some fusion-icon anomalyes [13:17] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: what is ur partition setup? [13:17] doktoreas: if you do setup a separate partition, come back, and ask for help on moving your /home to that partition, or use this website: http://drupal.openleadership.org/?q=node/39 [13:17] you cant do anything, mostlikely compiz has some problems [13:17] bazhang, I have the Ati x1500 with the restricted drivers... and it was working fine [13:17] _PupUser_, 100mb for sda1 for puppy/geexbox, 512mb swap partition, sda2, and rest for / for ubuntu in sda3 [13:18] bazhang, up until an hour ago... [13:18] tried to run with metacity instead? [13:18] bazhang, :) [13:18] akitcita, how about removing fusion-icon for the time being [13:18] akitcita, did you try making another user and logging in with that profile ? [13:18] bazhang, aptitude? [13:18] nope [13:18] _PupUser_: if you're going to install hardy, make sure you install the package ia32-libs after installation if you want to run 32bit software. [13:18] akitcita, yes lets try hwilde's option first [13:18] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: do u use puppy just from livecd or installed to harddisk? [13:19] hardy pulseaudio >>> 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 i have any program using sound in the background i don't get sound in any other apps. i have also disabled PulseAudio Session Management on startup in system > prefs > by unchecking but not completely removing from the list but still when i log in grep aux | pulse reports pulseaudio [13:19] <_PupUser_> Gin: hardy is buggy, so I am not going to use it. [13:19] bazhang, ok.. I'll try doing that now... [13:19] so sound does not work coming out of susspend is there a way that I can just restart my sound drivers w/o rebooting? [13:19] _PupUser_: have youtried it already? [13:19] <_PupUser_> Gin: yes [13:19] looking for a home design software that will run in linux [13:19] i just accidentally deleted important files on a fat32 partition... is there an easy way to recover those deleted files ? [13:19] sanguisdex, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [13:19] _PupUser_, its installed alongside the geexbox install. [13:20] laeg, how about completely uninstalling pulseaudio? does that have some effect? [13:20] jtravnick, bluefish works [13:20] auto power on anyone knows? [13:20] _PupUser_, just had to copy the files over from a USB thumbdrive install, and edit the grub menus [13:20] Nikunj93, you need to provide more details than that [13:20] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: do u think it is better on the harddisk? [13:20] laeg: why you want to remove pulse? the std alsa in hardy doesnt come with dmix, you dont have software mixing, which means you cant play sound from multiple sources without pulseaudio or some other sound server [13:20] bazhang: i haven't tried because i don't want to be stuck with no sound [13:20] Nikunj93, it's in the bios, I already told you this. [13:20] babolat, for designing a home? [13:20] bazhang, I gave the new user all the privileges OK? [13:20] _PupUser_, i dont need a cd.. :) and its faster. so yes [13:21] akitcita, hwilde does that sound right? === talntidwrk is now known as talntid [13:21] mgolisch: i can't play sound from multiple source atm. [13:21] mgolisch: except firefox and vlc with libflashsupport [13:21] hwilde: well i couldnt find that in my BIOS so i again came here [13:21] akitcita, yeah whatever I just want to see if it's a user profile setting [13:21] jtravnick: I've found that there is a significant lack of any user friendly CAD programs on Linux, I ended up using Inkscape the last time I needed something like that. [13:21] it is documented on the ubuntu website that pulse has trouble with wine, skype and other programs [13:21] laeg: mostlikely those apps you use are not configure to use pulse [13:21] <_PupUser_> faster? it should be the same speed, because it louds into the ram if it is on ram or the harddisk. [13:21] Nikunj93, it's a bios setting. there's nothing in the OS that can do that [13:21] hwilde, ok... I'll relog now [13:21] jtravnick, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-206732.html [13:21] laeg, pulse seems to be trouble all around at the moment [13:22] !repeat | Nikunj93 [13:22] Nikunj93: 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 [13:22] bazhang: yes :) [13:22] mgolisch: wine won't use it because it's trouble [13:22] _PupUser_, it boots faster - plus you dont need to slurp down all the ram ifyou dont want to.. PLUS it can use the swap partition on the hd.. [13:22] hwilde: I ran the restart and it shutdown alsa and restarted it but I am still getting "audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application." when I try and test a sound [13:22] laeg you get sound with firefox and flash? [13:22] _PupUser_: feel sorry for you. I have hardy x64, works great [13:22] sanguisdex, ew that is not good. something has locked onto your sound. you would have to modprobe -r the sound module then modprobe it [13:22] bazhang: yes i instaleld a fix libflashsupport - but before this there was no sound [13:22] anyone can help me with dkim-filter? [13:22] laeg: who cares for wine? [13:23] laeg: play on a game console [13:23] Gin: u had 2gb ram right? [13:23] :) [13:23] <_PupUser_> Gin: it worked, but I had to hack at it! [13:23] only pulseaudio is disappointing [13:23] well in my BIOS i go to Power management and then i find over there alarm is it that? [13:23] rutgermasi: yea [13:23] Gin: I said, it has less performance then 32bit [13:23] thanks laeg; will try it myself (currently no sound with ff and flash) [13:23] mgolisch: that is not a solution. [13:23] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: the livecd uses the swap as well! [13:23] bazhang: cool :) [13:23] _PupUser_, then use the live cd. :) i dont care. [13:23] I need help to diagnose and troubleshoot my ALSA sound card issues. I have already gone to the suggested websites with no help. [13:23] rutgermasi: not here. here it works better [13:23] Gin: but its slower [13:23] Nikunj93: This isn't really an Ubuntu issue, have you tried asking in ##hardware ? [13:23] bazhang: wait - no sound at all or just when another sound program us open? [13:24] mgolisch, not helpful; please refrain from giving nonsense advice thanks [13:24] rutgermasi: it is not slower. :\ [13:24] laeg none in ff and flash (youtube) [13:24] <_PupUser_> Dr_willis: I now u dont :) === sebner_ is now known as sebner [13:24] <_PupUser_> know [13:24] rutgermasi: programs I use on ubuntu has full 64 bit support :-) [13:24] Gin, you can now install 32bit version again, maybe not after a month [13:25] bazhang: my problem was only when i had something open in the background but the file is a fix for flash so maybe it will help you. let me know please [13:25] ok so i move to another problem i cant open system>adminstarion>logn window [13:25] Gin: yes, but if you havent 4gb ram, its not recommended [13:25] hwilde, The new user is blessed with a desktop... unlike me... :) [13:25] thanks laeg will do so asap :) [13:25] anyone using sshfs ? [13:25] So.. How's firefox and flash running in hardy ? Decent ? I [13:25] visik7, i have in the past. [13:25] <_PupUser_> Gin: at the moment u should install 32 vers, there is no advantage to using the 64. [13:25] visik7, it was coredumping onme in the beta testing for some reason.. I hope its fixed now. [13:25] rutgermasi: it is not about ram really, but it can do more calculation per second by using 64bit I asume [13:25] Dr_willis: do you know how to local forwarding a port while using sshfs ? ? [13:26] akitcita, bazhang ok so then you know it's something in your user profile, not the system itself that is borked [13:26] mgolisc/bazhang: apparently pulseaudio provided a suspect alsa layer which is why wine refuse to use it [13:26] Gin: just run a benchmark ;) [13:26] anders__: yes if you install livflashsupport [13:26] hwilde, bazhang yep... I suposed it was something like that [13:26] visik7, i thought ssh tunneling/port forwarding was a totally different thing then sshfs. I never use port forwared/tunnles. sorry. [13:26] laeg launching ff now.. :) [13:26] <_PupUser_> rutgermasi: i'v run the benchmark, no big difference [13:27] hwilde, bazhang I just lack the linux knowledge for the timesake to fix it on my own [13:27] rutgermasi: benchmark on what? [13:27] Dr_willis: I would use both with a single ssh connection [13:27] _PupUser_, so dont use 64bit if you have less than 4gb ram [13:27] rutgermasi: again, 64bit is not only about RAM [13:27] laeg, cheers. I'm considering upgrading to hardy as we speak. [13:27] is it? [13:27] Gin: you said cpu and ram? [13:27] <_PupUser_> rutgermasi: thats wat I said :) [13:27] anders dont [13:27] visik7, Not sure if thats doable. the sshfs website/docs are rather.... minimal. :) [13:28] rutgermasi: if you have software that take advantage of 64bit, why not use it? [13:28] <_PupUser_> Gin: at the moment it is, only about the ram [13:28] in windows i could power on through an application isnt it possible here? [13:28] I'm connecting to my webhost's server with Ubuntu's Places > Connect to Server via FTP. I'd like to learn how to sync a locally available folder with a folder in that server. [13:28] youdon't need 4GB ram to take advantage of 64 bit. do you? [13:28] !rsync | babolat [13:28] Factoid rsync not found [13:28] !sync | babolat [13:28] Factoid sync not found [13:28] _PupUser_: again, not for me, I asume Matlab x64 does the calculation much faster using 64 bit [13:28] danbhfive, thx I'll check it out [13:29] !syndication [13:29] Factoid syndication not found [13:29] rutgermasi: are you refering to a commandline? [13:29] visik7: Why not use a second connection? [13:29] babolat: Yes, search on ubuntu forums to 'rsync' [13:29] i am [13:30] !rsync [13:30] Factoid rsync not found [13:30] <_PupUser_> Gin: there are no programs made to take advantage of he 64, only 32 bit convertions to work on 64, therefore the performance in the same on 32 as on 64, but there is more support for 32 at the moment! [13:30] :( [13:30] visik7, http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/SshfsFaq has some neat info. but not sure if its what you want. [13:30] _PupUser_: no progrmas? any proof? [13:30] people, how to disable PC speaker beep? [13:31] in ubuntu [13:31] <_PupUser_> Gin: they work on 64, but are converted fron there 32 bit versions. [13:31] HSnews: you could just remove the pcspkr module [13:31] hwilde, bazhang What can I do now? [13:31] anders__: go for it [13:31] or disable it in your terminal @ HSnews [13:31] HSnews: a physical speakerectomy is a fairly trivial procedure, if you don't mind opening the box. [13:31] babolat: rawr! [13:32] laeg ? [13:32] hwilde, bazhang Use new user or... something to clear this mess up? [13:32] anyone please reply [13:32] HSnews, depends on whats beeping also. 'xset b 0 0 0 ' or 'xset b off' disables it for most apps. [13:32] <_PupUser_> Gin: maybe if you compile it for ur pc, you could take advantage of the 64! [13:32] babolat: sorry wrong person [13:32] _PupUser_: “The MathWorks support of AMD64 technology allows their user base in the engineering and scientific community to leverage the performance and large data set handling benefits of 64-bit computing,” said Pat Patla, director [13:32] bazhang: rawr! [13:32] rutgermasi: i'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/rsync. is this the right thing? [13:32] laeg it worked! thanks :) [13:33] _PupUser_: so, no, it's not just a conversion. [13:33] Nikunj93, please rephrase your question? [13:33] <_PupUser_> Gin: well do use that program, if not then there is no advantage in using the 64. [13:33] Dr_willis: thank you [13:33] bazhang: :P [13:33] _PupUser_: if it can cut about 0.5 of the calculation time, I will be very happy [13:33] :) [13:34] babolat: take a look at http://howtoforge.com/mirroring_with_rsync [13:34] rutgermasi: i doubt that this works with FTP [13:34] laeg: did you try to configure wine to use the esd driver? and install the pulseaudio esd compatibility package? [13:34] bazhang, What can I do with the user settings ? [13:34] laeg: maybe that would work out [13:34] akitcita, the new user works? [13:34] bazhang, yep [13:35] bazhang, only my old user is on strike [13:35] babolat: It uses ssh [13:35] <_PupUser_> Gin: whats the point, for that 0.5 speed improvement you will spent hrs at the terminal trying to make some driver compatable for 64! :) [13:35] Nikunj93, do you refer to to setting a timed power on for your hardware via software? [13:36] _PupUser_: actually all my hwardware works out of the box. :P [13:36] akitcita, well its really up to you--clearly you did something (old user) that borked things; you can go back and try to figure it out, or use this one and (hopefully) not bork it too :) [13:36] <_PupUser_> when the 64 is become more suppurted than the 32, then I will swap! [13:36] rutgermasi: does using ssh mean being able to do it via FTP? [13:36] then we will have 128bit distros! [13:36] !ot | _PupUser_ [13:36] _PupUser_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:36] _PupUser_: up to you. I am not trying to convince you to use 64bit. it works for me and I am looking forward for a better peformance [13:36] bazhang, OK... and can I just copy my old home folder to the new one or what? [13:37] is there a way with grub to do a one time boot on a kernel, if it fails try automatically revert to an older kernel? [13:37] babolat: No, why do u want ftp, ssh is fine and securer [13:37] <_PupUser_> ok [13:37] akitcita, that would seem unwise at this point--unless you can pinpoint what you did wrong you will bring over the old borken-ness [13:37] rutgermasi: it'd be what i were using now if i can. for reasons too many to say, all I have right now is FTP.. [13:37] incorrect, that would be a neat idea.. but never seen it done.. Normally its not the kernel caseing the issues. :) [13:38] Dr_willis, it will be if i screw up my kernel build :D [13:38] incorrect, you can boot on any one you have [13:38] bazhang, thats right... I'll use the new one for the work and try to fix the old one as practise [13:38] hi what is a good channel for webdev? [13:38] incorrect, thats why one always keeps a backup kernel entry in the menus. :) === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [13:38] babolat: other possibility is subversion [13:38] akitcita, good idea and thanks hwilde [13:38] i am building a custom kernel, however i am worried if i screw up i won't be able to recover the machine [13:38] incorrect: thats a reasonable concern [13:38] that i have never tried rutgermasi [13:38] Dr_willis, yeah but that need remote hands ;) [13:39] incorrect, you *do* know that is not supported here right? [13:39] Dr_willis, incorrect : but you can modify the grub lines in the grub boot [13:39] bazhang, hwilde, Thanks a lot... I'm still quite new to linux so I still think in the windows way... (LIMITED) :) [13:39] babolat, will this help u: http://howtoforge.com/ftp-backups-with-duplicity-ftplicity-debian-etch [13:39] bazhang, grub isn't supported here? [13:39] Where do you specify, if Firestarter is started on machine startup or not? [13:39] HELLEO [13:39] incorrect, the custom kernel [13:39] DistroJockey, what part is incorrect? How can a ystem even tell if the last kernel failed to load properly? [13:39] incorrect: custom kernels, a certain level of experience is assumed for building custom kernels [13:39] gatestone: could be System - admin - services [13:39] bazhang, i am not asking about that, i am asking about grub, [13:39] besides manually hunting for the scripts in /etc/rc?.d [13:39] incorrect though please feel free to do what you wish :) [13:39] incorrect: what's up with grub [13:40] DistroJockey, heh i miss read what you said. :) [13:40] i can't install ubuntu with wubiu [13:40] Dr_willis, hehe, was using his name, nothing incorrect about your statement [13:40] Dr_willis, :) [13:40] Lr5, it is not [13:40] mgolisch: arts and esd haven't been supported for a very long time [13:40] the question i asked.. was is there a way to do a one time default boot option [13:40] gatestone: k [13:40] incorrect: no, but the "fallback" option may suit your needs [13:40] Its always fun when you compile a kernel and forget to put in IDE or EXT2 support...

[13:47] Jokka: open as a new window? [13:47] askand: What are you running to get to those settings and do you get an error when you trY? [13:47] askand, tried gksudo gdmsetup ? [13:48] DistroJockey: yep tried that [13:48]  Pici: gksudo gdmsetup, no error messages [13:48] askand, same here now I try it [13:48] Jokka, try 'nautilus .' perhaps that will open the file manager to the current dir. [13:48] mgolisch> yeah, to have it up in a separate window. like when ur not using the terminal but clicking with mouse it comes like a window [13:48] Version Cue is basically a synchronization platform between local and remote files using an assortment of connection types (FTP, SSH, etc). It's basically used for distant collaboration efforts in Web designing [13:49]  Pici: DistroJockey: It showed up now, about 4 minutes after I issued the command...what could be the cause of this harddrivebusyness? [13:49] hy. is there any program that can resize a V4L devices resolution and make it available on an other device ... i used vloopback but it is not actively maintained, and my webcam crops the image massively when using in smaller resolution. [13:49] babolat: Im still here, but as a company i should use subversion [13:49] askand, Pici : mine is thrashing away also [13:49] worked perfect. cheers ate [13:49] askand, Pici : no idea atm [13:49] How do i specify proxy settings for Transmission? [13:49] rutgermasi: noted. i'm looking into it right now. thanks [13:50] DistroJockey: ok try to wait and see if yours too will show up [13:50] Jokka, actually nautilus by itself may open the current dir. [13:50] askand, have seen that before with something. Tis not right though [13:50] Jokka: write some shellscript which accepts the directory as argument, then write some function you execute after the cd, which starts a new terminal and give it the script to execute and provide the output of pwd as the arguemtn [13:50] babolat: Any VCS (version control system) or D(Distributed)VCS would emulate that behavior well. [13:51] babolat: u need a subversion server, just search on ubuntu forums ;) [13:51] How can I add a path to Gnome-do? It's not following .bashrc or .gnomerc.

[13:53] DistroJockey:strange [13:53] babolat: what do u want to say with #svn? [13:53] Pici, nothing in top seemed related [13:54] DistroJockey: Is swap full or not mounted? [13:54] rutgermasi: ask,that's all. http://subversion.tigris.org/ is their website right? [13:54] askand, Pici : can only think it's an indexing thing [13:54] DistroJockey: Was this the first time you opened this since you installed the system? [13:54] Pici, nope, have swap and not full [13:54] askand, yes [13:55] DistroJockey: aha me too === Rozza5 is now known as RoZzA`Away [13:55] [AmSg]I'm now away:Bed.

[13:57] poker [13:57] LogiTech, :) gee... guess that means all games dont work then.. or do ya want to give a LITTLE MORE info? [13:57] rutgermasi: no, i wonder if i can install over my current install or if i need to do a complete reinstall [13:57] lol, problem. i force guitted an app and now all i got in terminal is "<" what to do to get it back to normal?

[14:00] Dr_willis, how do you mean? [14:00] Jokka, try a command like cd ' [14:00] Dr_willis, i kinda exidently pressed alot of ottons:P [14:00] instead of cd 'foo bar' [14:01] Why does one of our Ubuntu servers (dedicated) resolve any host as its own IP address frequently? [14:01] Jokka, the other > ya saw is the 'continuation bash prompt' where its letting you enter more data for the earlier line. [14:01] kuja: what tool are you doing to check it's host [14:01] `/etc/init.d/networking restart` seems to fix the issue temporarily. [14:01] Jokka, check out the various bash docs/guides for more info. :) [14:01] ikonia: I've used resolveip. [14:01] Dr_willis, oh, ok, kinda explains why its not that good to press to much bottons lol. thx for ctrl+c :) [14:02] ikonia: Other programs, apt-get, svn, *anything* seem to act the same way. [14:02] kuja: when it goes "funny" trying pining it, nslookup and dig, see if the results change [14:02] This seems very low-level. [14:02] Jokka, if you have never used ctrl-c befor. :) you REALLY should spend an hr reading some bash/shell tutorials. [14:02] hey ,, wanted to know how to make totem play any region dvd [14:02] andreaaaaa: thats hardware lockin on your drive [14:02] resolveip google.com [14:02] IP address of google.com is 218.54.139.105 [14:02] 218.54.139.105 is the IP of that machine. [14:02] gee.. what if ya dd the dvd to a iso file, then played it. :) [14:02] kuja: what address does it come back with for "ping google.com" [14:03] ping google.com [14:03] PING ariworks.co.kr (218.54.139.105) 56(84) bytes of data [14:03] interesting.. there's always about the same number of people on this channel. [14:03] kuja: and then a networking restart fixes that [14:03] i have installed ubuntu within windows vista - although the dvd plays in vista and doesnt in ubuntu ..! pls help [14:03] ng0n, i recall seeing 3000+ on release days. [14:03] Anyone else have vmware running withe Kernel 2.6.24-17 ???? [14:03] okei sorry that i didnt "formed" my question " right"/"correctly" but i got solution for my problem,i got it work [14:03] andreaaaaa: it's hardware lock-in on your drive [14:03] kuja: google has a network cluster, so it has different when u look up google.com [14:03] rutgermasi: the address is HIS address [14:03] Dr.Willis: ahhh. right ! [14:04] w00t got maple 11 working on Hardy 64bit :-) [14:04] andreaaaaa, i follow the 2 commands at ---> http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_101_Enable_DVD_Playback_in_Ubuntu_in_Two_Commands [14:04] ikonia: http://rafb.net/p/GEgve657.html [14:04] ikonia: but vista plays it [14:04] andreaaaaa: vista uses different DVD playback software [14:04] andreaaaaa, you must enable special packages to play back dvd videos. [14:04] , tbh i havent read almost anythin about ubuntu. i figured out java,msn and graphic installs and now im just learning as i go, i kinda prefer that before reading xD [14:04] kuja: thats very odd [14:04] I really want to pinpoint this issue. [14:05] Could it have anything to do with bind9? [14:05] Jokka, the bash shell! read up on it.. 'your patience will be rewarded' "_ [14:05] Maybe bind is screwing things up? [14:05] Jokka, :) [14:05] kuja: I don't see how as your either using it as a caching name server or a local reolver, either shouldn't effect it [14:05] kuja: plus a init.d/networking restart doesn't change bind [14:05] Dr_willis: can u help me with these packages? [14:05] Dr_willis, im still kunda bothered writing "sudo apt-get install" insted of just yum lol. yeayh, i suppose i have to read that.. some day ;) [14:05] * Jokka walks away to get some food [14:05] andreaaaaa, that url gave 2 commands you just cut/paste to the terminal... [14:05] kuja: maybe worth stracing the ping google.com or the resolvip google.com [14:06] ikonia: Right. I wonder why restarting networking helps, and why it reverts back to being unable to resolve domains correctly. [14:06] Jokka, reading up on the apt-get docs/guides/tutorials should also be on your todo list. [14:06] Jokka, its on my todo list also.

[14:35] kuja: ok, so for example, can you paste the following for me [14:35] kuja: 1.) nslookup on it's own, you should get a > prompt [14:35] fhd, you can sepcify make options on the command line [14:36] kuja: 2.) lookup a domain you've never looked up before [14:36] kuja: 3.) try the same domain again [14:36] kuja: please paste the output of that please. [14:36] kuja: only type "nslookup" once though, do the rest from the > prompt [14:36] !paste | kuja [14:36] kuja: 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) [14:36] joaopinto: yeah, I was just wondering if I could set this once and for all... but it doesn't seem to be part of make, so... I'll use the cmd :) [14:36] thanks [14:36] lys: yes, that should be right [14:36] <^Migs^> is there a mirror I can download Ubuntu through FTP? Everything has been HTTP, and when I actually find one that's FTP, it just has shortcuts to ISOs that don't go anywhere [14:37] ^Migs^, a lot of the available Ubuntu mirrors support both http and ftp [14:37] heyya Myrtti :) [14:37] <^Migs^> right [14:37] ^Migs^: what's the problem with http? [14:37] <^Migs^> yet the FTP doesn't have anything [14:37] HymnToLife: does that mean i'll have to use ndiswrapper again? [14:37] <^Migs^> I don't know, but it keeps timing out on my computer. Might just be the network [14:37] just a quikie: how to install new software? i downloaded a tar.gz package [14:37] <^Migs^> Never mind, I'll just torrent them [14:37] yit41: what software do you want to install [14:37] ^Migs^: you can resume with http too , u know? [14:38] <^Migs^> yeah, but it times out every minute or so [14:38] hello [14:38] hi how do i make scan snap s510 work with ubuntu [14:38] ikonia: http://rafb.net/p/2NWfPK19.html [14:38] yit41, did you search for that software on the repositories ? [14:38] ikonia: i downloaded adobe reader tar.gz package [14:38] yit41: id look if its availiable via the ubuntu repos first, before trying to install using some tgz archive [14:38] ^Migs^: oh, you can also order your free ubuntu cd ;) [14:38] !compile | yit41 [14:38] yit41: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [14:38] lys: I guess so, or gat another wifi adapter made by a nicer company [14:38] like Ralink or Atheros [14:38] yit41: there are pdf readers in the ubuntu repo's [14:38] yit41: you dont need to install that [14:38] !pdf | yit41 [14:38] yit41: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [14:38] hi how do i make scan snap s510 work with ubuntu === fiendfyre is now known as dor` [14:39] yit41: you can use synaptic to install the xpdf package [14:39] ikonia: i know but i just like adobe reader better [14:39] o just installed xampp @ my ubuntu, now I have to set chmod +rw to every new folder or file I create inside the htdocs .. how do I chmod that folder so ALL the folders/files created inside it get the read/write permissions instantly? [14:39] yit41: then extract the tar file and read the install instructions === dor` is now known as dor [14:39] thats what i'm going to do anyway next month. i'll just take the cisco card from my wifes notebook till then ^^ but thanks a lot for helping me! [14:39] what are requirmements to roll your own ubuntu based distro ? any info appriciated [14:39] yit41: be aware this may do damage to your system === dor is now known as dor` [14:39] ikonia: but still, can i install from tar.gz package? [14:39] kuja: very interesting, it looks like your own DNS server is not responding [14:39] AngelaMuller, nman umask [14:39] !uck | m1r [14:39] m1r: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [14:39] erm, man [14:39] m1r: there is a howto on the forum for that, see the tutorials section on the forum. [14:39] yit41: you sure can, extract it, and read the install instructions [14:39] Okay does anyone here use PCSX? [14:39] ok for some reason, anim8or doesn't work under wine in the new release of ubuntu (8.04).. is it due to the 24-bit colors it recognizes from my video card? [14:40] what is .rpm file? [14:40] because i dont know how they got away with making a PSX emulator with no disc swapping, and i must know what im missing here. [14:40] X Error of failed request: BadColor (invalid Colormap parameter) telling me it doesn't like the 24-bits [14:40] bazhang: , Gin , tnx m8's [14:40] yit41: a package file intended for redhat based distros [14:40] cansomeone help me with ubuntu here? i am trying to acess my digital camera under hardy as a readable/writeable drive ... when i plug the camera in all i get is a picture import wizrad, and no mount point to write to the camera [14:40] eross: whats wrong with 24bit? you cant have more usualy [14:40] anim8or worked fine on my older install though [14:41] hi i have a device that works on windows but doenst on ubuntu? [14:41] ikonia: Not responding? Weird :S [14:41] andreaaaa: details, please [14:41] fugitsu scan snap s510 [14:41] eross: did you look at the appdb entry for that? if one exists [14:41] anyone ? :P i dunno where else to ask. google is useles.s [14:41] kuja: your using your own host as a dns server, so the first time you try to connect to the dns server with "nslookup" it says "no servers available" eg: I can't talk to your dns server [14:41] bazhang: UCK is only for live cd ? [14:42] ikonia: Should I have an alternative DNS? [14:42] so everything from synaptic is truly compatible with ubuntu? [14:42] m1r, you needed something different? [14:42] yit41: should be yes [14:42] kuja: you should have (if possible) 2 dns servers, on different networks [14:42] yit41, yes, it was built by Ubuntu people, for Ubuntu [14:42] andreaaaa: it's usb, right? [14:42] DistroJockey, The fonts are the same for a different user [14:42] sysRPL: what happens when you cancel out of the picture import wizard? [14:42] bazhang: for alternate cd build so i can easy install over PXE server [14:42] yes [14:43] ikonia: Would I simply add this to the nameservers list in /etc/resolv.conf and hope it works? [14:43] kuja: yes, [14:43] i didn't canel ... i went into fspot [14:43] HymnToLife: yes [14:43] andreaaaa: then do a lsusb and pastebin what you get [14:43] kuja: thats dynamic so should pickup your changes [14:43] robert__, :( [14:43] !pastebin | andreaaaa [14:43] andreaaaa: 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) [14:43] bazhang: my laptops ussualy not more then 256mb ram 900mhz that i will install to, so they cant really run good livecd editions [14:43] should i unplug the camera and plug it in again then cancel the wizrd? [14:43] sysRPL: close fspot and have a look in the "Places" menu === IshinoSan__ is now known as IshinoSan [14:43] k [14:43] m1r, that link seems to indicate it is for live cd's yes [14:43] does whois on the command line automagically choose the right whois server? [14:44] bazhang: yes [14:44] Why i receive this message when try to run fbi image ? 'can handle only packed pixel frame buffers' [14:44] i don't see anything different in places [14:44] Hi everyone! [14:44] I've got a problem with the installation of VMWare under Ubuntu 7.10. [14:44] Maybe some of you can help me. When installing, I receive the next message: [14:44] make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config3/vmmon-only/common/task.o] Error 1 [14:44] make[1]: *** [_module_/tmp/vmware-config3/vmmon-only] Error 2 [14:44] make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic' [14:44] TonWibier: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:44] ikonia: But the DNS on the external network won't have all the same records my server has.. [14:44] robert__, sorry, best ask again with as much info as you have [14:44] kuja: it should have EVERY record as a caching name server [14:44] DistroJockey, here's a screenshot: http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/3850/screenshot1np6.png [14:44] robert__, looking [14:44] kuja: the only records it won't have are ones that your dns server are SOA for [14:44] TonWibier: mostlikely you didnt apply the required anyany patch [14:44] DistroJockey, my DPI in appearance is at 145 and all the font-sizes are at 6 [14:45] gordonjcp: i dont see the camera in places [14:45] TonWibier: the std vmwareserver distribution doesnt usualy compile against that new kernels ubuntu uses [14:45] HymnToLife: thanks [14:45] sysRPL: what *do* you see? [14:45] robert__, looks to be application specific [14:45] sysRPL: any disks that weren't there before? [14:45] ubotto ; thanks a lot will get back to url later [14:46] Why i receive this message when try to run fbi image ? 'can handle only packed pixel frame buffers' [14:46] DistroJockey, well look at the google page in the screenshot and the launchpad page, some text is normal sized, and some is huge [14:46] mgolisch, I uses vmware-any-any-update 115. That should do the trick, I think? [14:46] robert__, yeah, that would be a html rendering issue I guess [14:46] no, it's the same as before i had plugged the camera in ... al the standard items ... home, computer, documents, music, pictures, network eect [14:46] ikonia: Should the external be listed as a primary or secondary? [14:47] kuja: there is no primary or secondary [14:47] kuja: they are both equal [14:47] gordonjcp: but i don't see the camera in there [14:47] bazhang: i found reconstructor for my purpose,will check it now. tnx m8 [14:47] TonWibier: please post the complete error on a pastebin service like paste.ubuntu.com [14:47] hello ! i have a problem during the install of Regnum ! Can you help me ? plz ? [14:47] TonWibier: and you did install the required kernel headers package did you? [14:47] Titanium: what's up [14:47] robert__, looks normal to me, not saying it's right [14:47] Ok mgolisch. On e moment..... [14:47] gordonjcp: this is a canon sd650 if that helps [14:47] Titanium, that is a game? native or wine [14:47] ikonia: i have a Ati Cards... [14:47] sysRPL: if you click on "Computer" do you see anything new on the left-hand side? [14:48] Native [14:48] Titanium: ahh, that is a problem ;) [14:48] ikonia: and when i want log me [14:48] Ok mgolisch. I've pasted it. [14:48] gordonjcp: yes, there is a tree ... but i've looked through it and the camera isn't under there [14:48] TonWibier: give the url then [14:48] :) [14:48] DistroJockey, hmm ok tnx. The openoffice font is big, but that's because of the DPI setting I think. Well I think I have to live with it :P tnx anyway [14:48] Dual-boot question: How can I check for rootkits in the other partition (the WinXP one) in Ubuntu? [14:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/11664/ [14:49] Toznoshio: you can't [14:49] Toznoshio: it checks the ubuntu partition [14:49] sysRPL: it might not have a "sensible" name [14:49] ikonia: $ ping google.com [14:49] ping: unknown host google.com [14:49] TonWibier: the complete thing [14:49] :( [14:49] Toznoshio: you'll need windows tools to check your windows partition [14:49] i can't i see a problem [14:49] how would i find it? [14:49] robert__, I tend to see a 96dpi setting [14:49] Ok.... [14:49] kuja: your dns server arn't responding [14:49] ikonia: you play Regnum ? [14:49] sysRPL: for instance my Fuji S602 appears as "Sandisk 4G" because that's the volume name of the card [14:49] Titanium: I'm sorry, I don't [14:50] sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera -t vfat -o umask=000 [14:50] DistroJockey, well the xorg DPI setting is at 147x145 because I've got a 15inch notebook with a 1920x1200 resolution [14:50] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt/camera busy [14:50] robert__, 15" at that res! are you crazy?! [14:50] i'm used to it [14:51] mgolisch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11665/ [14:51] my previous notebook was a 12inch @ 1280x1024 [14:51] ikonia: But you would need to boot into WIndows to use those rootkit detection tools, the point being you can't trust what Windows tells you anymore, anyway, thanks for trying to answer my question [14:51] TonWibier: you may need a newer version of any any patch: http://uruz.org/files/vmware-any-any-update-116.tgz [14:51] robert__, well, i'm sure that ain't it's native res [14:51] ikonia: You're right.. it just hangs there trying to ping (from my local machine) [14:51] sysRPL: is your camera /dev/sda1 ? [14:52] ikonia: Are you able to reach either 211.47.66.90 or 121.125.78.245? [14:52] Toznoshio: thats how it works [14:52] DistroJockey, 1920x1200 at my 15.4" notebook not native? yes it is [14:52] If not, I'm going to call their 24hour tech support and see what's up. [14:52] TonWibier: but it looks more like you are missing something in your compiler toolchain, did you install the build-essential package? [14:52] gordonjcp: no [14:52] kuja: those servers don't respond for me [14:52] robert__, ok, I ain't had one [14:53] ikonia: Weird, that's what's listed on their website as primary and secondary nameservers. [14:53] mgolisch: Hmmm, I'm not sure. Has this to do with the synaptic manager? [14:53] sysRPL: disconnect and reconnect the camera, and cancel the dialogue box that pops up [14:53] gordonjcp: that folder does not exist [14:53] k [14:53] robert__, upgrade? [14:53] kuja: I may not be able to resolve on them as most name servers are locked down to the fact that you have to be on their network to use them, and I'm not on their network === vincent_ is now known as Solo [14:54] TonWibier: yeah in synaptic make sure you installed the build-essential package [14:54] Ok, I will do that now. One moment, please.... [14:54] DistroJockey, http://www5.pc.ibm.com/nl/products.nsf/$wwwPartNumLookup/_NH3D8ND?open&OpenDocument&epi=web_express [14:54] ikonia: Oh well.. so much for calling them either. I forgot today was a holiday. [14:55] gordonjcp: i get the wizard with igonore or import photos ... i will click ignore [14:55] robert__, fair enough :) [14:55] DistroJockey: you're up late :) howdy! [14:55] heyya ere4si :) [14:55] mgolisch: What command to use? apt-get install ...... ? [14:55] sysRPL: yup [14:55] kuja: sort it tommorow [14:55] ere4si, ohh, yeah, time got away from me :) [14:55] TonWibier: or synaptic whatever pleases you more [14:55] :) [14:55] ikonia: Do you know much about using Postfix and using it to send mail so that Hotmail doesn't refuse it? ;) [14:55] ere4si, how be you? [14:56] DistroJockey: hehe same here - all be fine here [14:56] ere4si, :) [14:56] kuja: thats nothing to do with postfix, thats probably because your on a dhcp / DSL line [14:56] ubuntu 8.04 amd64 - kde applications keep crashing on startup mentioning somthing about DCOP server. [14:56] gordonjcp: i didn't see any changes to my filesystem? [14:56] kuja: for example you must have valid spf records (not for sure), reverse dns, not on a blacklist, .. [14:56] does any1 know where the java home is located in ubuntu?? [14:56] sysRPL: that\'s odd [14:56] ikonia: Not on DSL, and not using DHCP. The server's IP is static and has been preconfigured. [14:57] is it possible to combine two hd´s into one partion in ubuntu? [14:57] ^ bah, using MySQL too much today [14:57] gordonjcp: thanks for trying to help [14:57] kuja: what is the IP of the server [14:57] sysRPL: hang on [14:57] ikonia: 218.54.139.109 [14:57] gordonjcp: it's much appreciated [14:57] gordonjcp: okay [14:57] EXP2, using LVM, yes [14:57] err.. [14:57] ikonia: 218.54.139.105 [14:57] mgolisch: Sorry for being so ignorant, but where can I find the build-essential package? [14:57] sysRPL: pop open a terminal and type "ls /media" [14:57] TonWibier: apt-get install build-essential === jconnolly_ is now known as johnnybug [14:57] Ok, thanks gordonjcp [14:58] anyone know what password cups may be requiring of me to do admin ops? I'm using my normal password for the system and I'm an admin but it is rejected [14:58] TonWibier: install it using apt-get install build-essential or by searching for build-essential in synaptic [14:58] cdrom cdrom0 [14:58] Is there a difference between Ubuntu Server & Debian list on the web somewhere? [14:58] rutgermasi: I've got a reverse DNS for 218.54.139.105 -> ariworks.co.kr, but our MX record is mail.ariworks.co.kr -- do you think that could be an issue? [14:59] how to edit places? [14:59] kuja: your IP addresses are blacklisted [14:59] ikonia: Where? [14:59] kuja: loads of mail blacklists [14:59] Hei. I've reported an issue in Hardy about a month ago, kernel related. See #216927. I just noticed that the launchpad page starts with "Bug #216927 is not in Ubuntu". Why would launchpad states the the bug is not in Ubuntu ? [14:59] Launchpad bug 216927 in linux "i8042 mouse & keyboard often becomes completely unresponsive" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/216927 [15:00] robert__, not really my area, can only suggest remaking your xorg.conf [15:00] mostlikely your are running an open relay [15:00] ikonia: I checked on a CBL somewhere and realized that our IP was blacklisted because it sent out invalid EHLO responses, but I fixed that part. [15:00] kuja: zen, servicenet, fivetensrc, cbl, etc etc, there are on tons [15:00] DistroJockey, ok I might give it a try [15:00] Does anyone have this problem or know how ti fix it: im using compiz in 8.04 along with an ati graphics card, when I log in the screen goes black for about 2 seconds and then loads the rest of the background. Its just quite irritating [15:00] gordonjcp: do you have any other ideas? [15:01] mgolisch: No, our server is not an open relay. [15:01] robert__, best of luck [15:01] mgolisch: Our SMTPd requires authentication. [15:01] sysRPL: 2 secs [15:01] oes anyone know where the Java home is located on ubuntu 8.04 [15:01] gordonjcp:okay [15:01] bennyf11: should be /usr/bin [15:01] Hey guys, I'm on hardy-heron and I was taking a look through my xorg.conf and it's alarmingly empty... Missing a lot of key elements, however, everything functions correctly. WHere are the missing elements of it? [15:01] bennyf11: tried echo $JAVA_HOME ? [15:02] sysRPL: silly question, but is your camera set to be a USB disk as opposed to being a USB camera? [15:02] hey benny open a terminal and type "whereis java" [15:02] cylux, with the new Xorg versin most of the settings are auto-detected [15:02] version [15:02] ikonia: five-ten-sg.com doesn't seem to care about the IP.

[15:02] gordonjcp: i have no idea ... i don't think there is an option for that on the camera [15:02] bennyf11: but you did install a java runtime environment right? [15:03] sysRPL: ok, what make and model of camera is it? [15:03] like gcj or the sun jre [15:03] joaopinto: Say I want to override the resolution, how do I do that?

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:04] does anyone know why ubuntu sometimes automounts an external hard drive, and sometimes it doesn't? [15:04] but I am finding the windows border lagging a bit when switching from windows to windows [15:04] !sudo [15:04] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [15:04] anyone knows how to speed this up ?

[15:06] by providing the required section forthat [15:06] sysRPL: is your camera plugged directly into the PC, not through a hub? [15:07] gordonjcp: it's plugged directly into the pc [15:07] can anyone help me with metacity being slow ? [15:07] sysRPL: have a look at the output of dmesg [15:07] sysRPL: see if you can see anything that looks like it might be the camera [15:07] as84: have you installed the manufacturers driver for your video card ? [15:07] what is ubuntu's image viewer? [15:07] yes [15:08] sysRPL: it might help if you disconnect and reconnect the camera just before you type "dmesg" - you'll get lots and lots of output [15:08] tritonx, yes nvidia [15:08] g*something* a gnome tool.. but what is it name?.. (PS: can't check now.. i am on debian [15:08] when i tab between windows, the border kind of lags [15:08] gThumb got it [15:08] as84: hmmm, have your tried with all effects disabled? is it suposed to be a fast system ?

[15:20] noodles12: you're best off just opening it in the browser to get the best representation, but bluefish can do that [15:20] noodles12: I basically just use gedit [15:20] <[GSF]Martin> noodles12: according to ps -A nm-applet is running [15:21] Is there any performanceloss when running apps from NTFS partitions?

[15:21] :P [15:21] adam7: thanks i'll try bluefish or gedit like gordon said [15:21] noodles12: alike adam7 said, using the browser is the best way to view anyway - you can use ies4linux to install ie6 and ie7 [15:22] For some reason x11 won't use the resolution I set forit. Why is that? here is my xorg.conf http://infectious.cc/ss.png [15:22] adam7: becouse i cant move the stuff i got on the NTFS :< [15:22] noodles12: to be brutally honest, if you're not coding the HTML by hand you're just messing about [15:22] zChris: ntfs-3g is a userspace filesystem driver so it will be slower that an in kernel solution )not only for running apps) [15:22] noodles12: gedit is just a text editor :) [15:22] gordonjcp: i was planning to learn using the www.w3schools.com website, you have any suggetions? [15:22] erUSUL: much slower? [15:22] zChris: you probably won't see much loss unless your doing a *lot* of file usage [15:22] noodles12: yeah, it seems quite good - I use it as a reference sometimes [15:23] zChris: i haven't benchmarked [15:23] alrighty [15:23] noodles12: at work we use Macs, but there we just use TextMate ;-) [15:23] how to clear terminal history?

[15:25] Andycas, echo -n > ~/.bash_history [15:26] adam7: ty :) [15:26] and clear [15:26] Andycas: assuming you're using bash, you'll find a .bash_history file in your home directory, just delete it (but remember, the act of deleting is recorded in the .bash_history if you use rm .bash_history :) [15:26] to get rid of the backbuffer just type reset [15:27] zChris: it looks to be about on par with ext3 in terms of performance [15:27] how can i find the date my system was installed ?

[15:28] just wondered what you where talking about [15:28] it hogs quite much cputime here atleast [15:28] mgolisch: how fast it is [15:28] fraggle_laptop: deleting .bash_history didnt seem to have effect... [15:28] noodles12: not quite [15:29] speak french????? [15:29] Andycas: rm .bash_history, log out, and back in, and it should be gone [15:29] noodles12: but it's much more important now to have a good grasp of javascript than even a couple of years ago [15:29] !fr | farfadet [15:29] farfadet: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[16:38] What I'm saying is, Ubuntu, is open source, I.E. is not [16:39] Kibbey: [16:39] Kibbey: what difference does that make? [16:39] Kibbey: We can't fix IE if theres a bug in IE itself, but that doesnt mean that we dont suggest using ies4linux if IE is needed. [16:39] Kibbey: have you even looked at ies4linux?

I've been having an issue with SSH where it will take up to 20 attempts to connect, on each failed connect it will say "connection refused" but eventually it will connect.

[16:41] that it [16:41] Ok, let me make myself clearer, I'm sure I.E. works on Ubuntu, however, I'm sure canonical, prefers using firefox-vs-i.e. [16:41] how do I get the gfax virtual printer to show ?

It's an old hard drive I used while I was still running windows and I used it to store files like music etc. Is there any way to access it from ubuntu? Because whenever I try to access it it says that I don't have the necessary permissions and when in the properties of the hard drive I can't change the permissions, it's all greyed out [17:21] Is there any way to increase volume except alsamixer? Even with it on max it is too low. [17:21] Alex_Gaynor, it got disabled by adding the resolution by hand? [17:21] Jupp: I guess, I didn't change anything else [17:21] ok... i cant find a working repository at all now [17:21] ubuntu.com died [17:21] ubuntu-rocks is dead.. [17:22] hello all, i've just swapped out ubuntu server 804 out of an old p2 400 into a Socket 7 500 amd.. ubuntu doesn't like it on boot.. says wrong kernal.. is it possible load the correct kernal? [17:22] whats a working one.. [17:22] Alex_Gaynor, the only thing that comes to mind is that the monitor can't handle that resolution. are both the same make/model? [17:22] Jupp: No, one is a 21" Widescreen LCD and the other is a 17" CRT [17:22] Intangir: ... ubuntu.com appears to be working from here. Are you sure it's not a local issue? [17:22] oh nevermind.. tsocks doesnt work with sudo.. [17:22] EvilFiek: know what's the mountpoint? try sudo chmod 777 (mountpoint) , donno if its permanant but should make it readable for now [17:22] anyone know a fix for the trash can disappearing from the panel bug? [17:23] if I right click RIGHT in the corner of my panel I still get the trash can options... but I can't see it.. it doesn't reappear on reboot either [17:23] is the panel wider than the screen itself jaybe [17:23] Does anybody know if it's possible to force an app that uses oss to use pulse instead? [17:23] Jaymac, [17:24] Alex_Gaynor, double check that the monitor can handle the resolution you're trying to give it. that's the only thing I can think of right now [17:24] changing the kernal anyone? [17:24] My usb hd's got slow transferspeeds (about 1MB/s max, and it has usb2.0) anyone know how to fix that? [17:24] I found a online tutorial that said it would do that but I dont see the extra programs being loaded in the pulseaudio manager [17:24] no7up4u2: no, i dragged the panel vertical and it doesn't appear [17:24] weird [17:24] sbox: yes, I'm about to do that, too. What's the problem you're trying to solve? [17:24] donno than srry [17:24] Jupp: It deffinately can, is there any tool I'm missing for autodetecting the monitor(I remember doing that when I originally set it up under gutsy)? [17:25] could anyone tell some good Virus/Spyware defecter for "linux ubuntu" ? [17:25] shadu: hmm. is it plugged in now? [17:25] Can anyone suggest a Temperature Monitor (PC components, not the weather) that I can install that will put my temp stats up in my panel?

[17:26] soundray: i've just changed the hdd out of an old pentium 400 to an AMD socket 7, upon boot it states it doesnn;'t like the kernal as parimiters are missing [17:26] lots of exploits but no virus for say [17:26] soundray: is there anyway to get it to boot the correct kernal? [17:26] Alex_Gaynor, do you mind pasting your xorg.conf again? [17:26] which file in ubuntu allows me to set which login manager i use... like gdm or kdm ? [17:26] sbox: what system is installed on that HDD? [17:26] but if i dl EXE files which is meant for windows and if it have virus and i open it with "linux ubuntu" so i dont get cirus or what? :/ [17:26] ccooke: yeah i've got 2 usb hd's plugged in atm and both are slow [17:26] soundray: ubuntu server 804 [17:27] virus* [17:27] LogiTech, no [17:27] Jupp: http://dpaste.com/49494/ [17:27] Hi, I'm having some problems with Synaptics: Could not download all repository indexes [17:27] ok [17:27] Shadu: are they plugged in directly? [17:27] the idea is a virus in exe format would be meant for win os so the virus wouldnt understand the linux languange so dont worry about it [17:27] Or via a USB hub? [17:27] ccooke: yep both directly into my laptop [17:27] sbox: the server kernel should support either CPU. Can you be a bit more explicit about the error message.

[17:28] sbox: yes, I'll ask my question in the meantime [17:28] Hmm. The text Ubotu links to on viruses is... Not well thought out. [17:28] ccooke: i've read on the inet that it was a known error with usb 2.0 and that disabling the sync option would solve it.. but i got no clue about where to do that [17:28] soundray: Cool [17:28] ccooke: kk opening it now [17:28] ccooke, suggest something better then [17:28] Shadu: well, you can try that [17:29] <_PupUser_> hey guys, what are ur views on installing on primmary as apose to extended, and logical as apose to extended? on the hardisks i mean?

[17:30] bazhang: Everything it states is broadly correct, but it misses a few points :-) [17:30] LogiTech, if ur worry about virus in dose get AVG its free [17:30] Shadu: no, that's normal [17:30] Alex_Gaynor, I might be steering you into the wrong direction (doing everything by hand vs. an autodetect tool), but I would add "Modes" to each monitor (look at my xorg.conf and see how I declared the "modes" that my monitors can handle). [17:30] Shadu: fstab is used for devices that are always expected to be installed [17:30] _PupUser_, that is a bit offtopic here; this is more for supporting people with issues with their ubuntu installations-->you might do a bit of reading up on it [17:30] read what i write.... i asked " themes for windows xp " and AVG takes PC speed down...its not some "bullshit" it really do...Thank you [17:31] ccooke: ah okay, where should my drives be in then? (what file) [17:31] Shadu: first, could you type 'mount' and put the output in a pastebin? [17:31] I have a problem with a laptop recently upgraded to hardy. It will only run with acpi=off and freeze randomly without. The gutsy kernel is still there and seems to be fine wrt. to ACPI & doesn't freeze -- but X (NVidia) won't run anymore with it. What should I do? Is there a straightforward way to make hardy work properly with the gutsy kernel? [17:31] LogiTech, please watch your language thanks [17:31] <_PupUser_> bazhang: just wanted a quit answer. [17:31] ok [17:31] I need help with my server, when I log in I get this: http://clarjon1.pastebin.com/f4a7fb0ff [17:31] _PupUser_, you might try in #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [17:31] <_PupUser_> ok [17:32] ccooke: got a site where i can put the data? :P [17:32] Shadu: USB disks and the like are automatically mounted when detected.

Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [17:33] Shadu: the bottom three lines of that are your USB devices, I presume [17:34] ccooke: the LaCie is one usb hd, and the Lacie + PORSCHE is a hd drive, if you mean those yeah [17:34] When I use xmms , then it blocks the sound device and I cant hear anything from vlc or any other program/game that produces sound. any ideas? [17:34] initd, what ubuntu version [17:35] Shadu: Okay. They don't appear to be mounted with the sync option, so it's not that problem.

See the factoid below. (I have no experience of my own with this) [17:37] for example, if I visit a webpage with sound, firefox blocks the device and I cant hear music from xmms [17:37] !sound | initd [17:37] initd: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[17:39] juannicolas: can you elaborate on that question? [17:39] I have a remote box running an old version of ubuntu, but it's been hacked and I need to do a clean install on a new partition.

Once you've got a clear break between new log messages and old ones, please plug in one of the USB disks - whichever you'd expect to be fastest. [17:40] ccooke: (it wants to update to 9 by now :P) [17:40] Shadu: Hmm. Seen that recently. [17:40] juannicolas: this could be a packaging bug or a problem with the mirror. Try a different mirror (change in System-Admin-Software Sources) [17:40] Howdy all.

[17:41] initd: only if it doesn't take a special effort please [17:42] Shadu: only plug in *one* of the disks - and hit enter a few times in the terminal with the log messages. I only want the log messages from you plugging the drive in, okay? [17:42] how do i get free disk space within terminal? [17:42] gorbierd: df -h [17:42] soundray could you tell me what to do?

[18:04] hi, i have three ntfs partitions automounted, but i "HEAR" ubuntu is constantly accessing them, how can i determine what does this? file indexing is disabled [18:04] ccooke: yeah but on a vista laptop here it goes with about 20MB/s so something is wrong [18:05] Shadu: is it holding steady at just under a meg?

Ctrl-C that [18:05] soundray: well, I'm having all sorts of problems with hardy so it might be bad but utterly true. [18:05] ccooke: you mean cancel or copy ? [18:06] hi, i have three ntfs partitions automounted, but i "HEAR" ubuntu is constantly accessing them, how can i determine what does this? file indexing is disabled [18:06] Shadu: Ctrl-C is cancel in the terminal [18:06] ccooke ah k, i used ctrl + z for doing that.. dunno whats different between them tho [18:06] w-mute: the fact that you are having problems does not justify claiming that it's "broken" if plenty of people have upgraded or installed it successfully [18:06] now and when i restart ubuntu, this disappears [18:06] peppych:it is working. [18:06] soundray: I really doubt they successfully upgraded on an iBook. [18:06] w-mute: that kind of thing is called FUD and is not welcome here [18:07] but sometimes when i start it up, it does this constant reading of my ntfs partitions, WHY? [18:07] Shadu: ah. Ctrl-Z puts the running process into the background [18:07] soundray: does not seem to help..am I supposed to get some kind of changelog? [18:07] Shadu: type 'jobs' [18:07] hello ppl, how I do to install the HSP56 Micromodem drive in the ubuntu 7.04? [18:07] ccooke: the job is stopped it says [18:07] soundray: I've been using Ubuntu since 5.10 and Hardy is the worst I ever ran. [18:07] Shadu: you'll see one or more still-running rsyncs [18:07] askand: no, but version numbers [18:07] soundray: just tried an old smoothwall in it and it worked fine [18:07] :s [18:07] I have installed ubuntu 7.04 on an Apple G3 iBook with the alternate installer cd. install went ok, but i can't get ubuntu to use the whole screen. the only resolution options i have are 640x480 and 800x600 and the screen will do 1024x768. in the xorg.conf file it only lists 1024x768 as the available modes. any ideas? [18:07] Shadu: yes - it's stopped, but the process is still running. [18:07] Shadu: bg will restart the job in the background, fg will restart it in the foreground [18:07] ccooke: so you can resume it when you want i guess ? [18:08] w-mute: extrapolating your personal bad experience and saying that it's broken is FUD and does not belong here. [18:08] ccooke: anyhow lets continue :) whats the next step ? [18:08] soundray: but maybe you can tell me why my CPU is constantly on 100% freq even though it is totally idle and everything has been working until the second I upgraded. [18:08] hello ppl, how I do to install the HSP56 Micromodem driver in the ubuntu 7.04? [18:08] soundray: aah I see, the problem is that it does not show if the version of fglrx is upgraded [18:08] Shadu: (you could tell something to carry on running at this point by typing 'bg %') [18:08] soundray: e.g the ati driver [18:08] w-mute: I have my own share of problems with hardy. Do I go around and scare people because of it? No, because that is utterly unreasonable behaviour. [18:08] Shadu: (or resume one of them with 'fg %>number>') [18:09] soundray: sleep and hibernate are broken and there are active bugs in launchpad about this. [18:09] Shadu: well, first we kill those... [18:09] w-mute: any software has bugs. Any major upgrade will contain regressions. [18:09] soundray: it would be much more unnreasonable to tell him to upgrade. [18:09] someone can help me please? [18:09] soundray: w-mute: you guys should take it to offtopic [18:09] soundray: this is called an LTS release. [18:09] [Tracker] How can I search for a search term containing a whitespace? [18:09] ccooke: by doing.. [18:09] w-mute: then say so. But don't say that hardy is broken, when for plenty of people it clearly isn't. [18:10] evening [18:10] Shadu: 'kill %'. So, if there's only one, 'kill %1' [18:10] did anyone encountered a problem in ubuntu 8 that full screen apps, games etc. come out of full screen ? [18:10] Shadu: if there are two, 'kill %1 %2' [18:10] danbhfive: no, this discussion arises from a bad support attempt. The issue needs to be clarified here. [18:10] Shadu: etc :-) [18:10] soundray:whatever. I talked to a fellow iBook user that I'd think would have the same problems I'm experiencing. [18:10] i just went through a fresh install on a different pc and am having the same java problem... the test applet at java.com doesn't run... i installed the icedtea-java7-plugin/gcjwebplugin/ i'm unintalling them now to install the sun-java6-plugin [18:11] ccooke: is it normal that it gives a rsync error ? and that when i do "jobs" it gives the same proccess but then with "exit" infront of it ? [18:11] soundray: and I'm not here to complain. All I wanted to know is which component is responsible for frequency scaling in hardy so I can file a bug. pbbuttonsd doesn't seem to do it anymore. [18:11] w-mute: okay. I can see that you are reasonable and have the best intentions. Please be careful with your wording, though. [18:11] Shadu: yes [18:11] bhsx: link? [18:11] ccooke: k [18:12] Shadu: that's the processes dying. If you run jobs now, you should see none [18:12] ccooke: then its killed i guess [18:12] ccooke: Wow you're right ^^ [18:12] link to? the java applet? [18:12] w-mute: I have previously filed a freq scaling related bug against the kernel, and it was processed there, so it should be fine if you do the same. [18:12] hey guys, just a random wondering question, when hosting companies says "you got 60Gb bandwidht a month", is that the bandwidth served to show the pages right ? [18:12] soundray: OK. I'll do that, then. Thanks. [18:12] bhsx: hey, you are right [18:12] it's at java.com and the middle link to "do i have java" [18:13] Shadu: okay. Now we're all cleaned up... Please run 'rsync -P /tmp/test_file /media/PORSCHE/' [18:13] bhsx: that really should work [18:13] danbhfive: have you had problems with other sites? [18:13] or is it just that that's the like ONE java site that doesn't work? lol, java works except for java.com :) [18:13] bhsx: I dunno, I don't think I use any java sites [18:13] anyone know a good generic 'display' section of the xorg.conf file to test some resolution issues. [18:13] hey guys, just a random wondering question, when hosting companies says "you got 60Gb bandwidht a month", is that the bandwidth served to show the pages right ? [18:14] i had it working on my last install of hardy... but now it seems broken [18:14] dunno [18:14] ccooke: hmm weird that one seems to be going with 2.1MB/s [18:14] Shadu: ah ha [18:14] What do I do if firefox refuses to start? [18:14] Shadu: NTFS speed is the main issue [18:15] ccooke: yep but still it's not going on full speed [18:15] yacc: start firefox with "-P" and create a new profile (or start it in safe mode, it's also parameter) [18:15] Shadu: yeah [18:15] ccooke: weird.. now it suddenly dropped down to 1MB/s [18:15] then again, they just changed the layout of the java.com site... maybe sun busted the applet... [18:15] Shadu: hmm. Caching of some sort :-/ [18:16] ccooke: speed is really jumping from 1.2MB/s to about 700KB/s [18:16] Hi, any success with Toshiba webcams? [18:16] Shadu: doh! [18:17] Shadu: it's connecting as USB 1.1, not USB 2 [18:17] na bravo [18:17] i just installed the "sun-java6-plugin" after uninstalling the rest, and it now works [18:17] ccooke: the problem with the sync options i thought.. from reading the web atleast :P [18:17] mnemo: I haven't installed any new addons if that's your idea, but let's try that. [18:17] Shadu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11694/ - first line of this? where it says 'full speed' ? [18:17] so, well, i guess that means the icedtead plugins are currently broken? [18:17] Hmm. I just started encountering a new problem. No changes since the previous boot, but it now hangs after the "v2.6:USB HID core driver" line during the kernel boot. Suggestions? [18:17] or at leasted bugged on some systems [18:17] Oy, I found the issue with oggvorbis...it was actually a PEBKAC issue. I was mistaking 1.0 for 10 and so it kept defaulting to .5 since my numbered choice was not between .0 and 1.0. LoL [18:18] ccooke: yeah whats with that line? [18:18] yacc: it can also be that the startup page triggers a crash, and a new profile will help in that case [18:18] How to get firebug working with ff3? [18:19] Shadu: Full Speed means it's a USB1.1 device, connecting at 12Mbit/s - or around 1MB/s after overhead [18:19] Shadu: USB2 is *High* speed [18:19] ccooke: its a usb2 device tho [18:19] Er, nevermind. Didn't give it long enough. My hackish "defragment" script changed the volume UUID. [18:20] mnemo: I have no startup page. Plus strace reveals this time that it's hanging connecting esd? [18:20] ccooke: and when i right click the mounted drive and select properties and go to the drive tab the connection shows "USB 2.0 at 12Mbps" [18:20] mnemo: That leaves the question how to restart esd and/or any other sound handling stuff? [18:20] Shadu: yes. [18:20] yacc: not sure, maybe reboot ;( [18:21] Shadu: high speed usb2 is 480Mbps :-) [18:21] I'm using 8.04 and am having trouble with Skype. People can't hear me unless I yell through my mic. Anyone help? [18:21] bhsx: did changing to sun java fix it? [18:21] ccooke: yeah but it says "USB2.0" [18:21] mnemo: rebooting is not really an option => I would loose all kinds of ssh sessions, long running processes and stuff. [18:21] fyrfry: mic boost [18:21] ccooke: not "USB1.1" [18:21] dmacnutt done it already through alsamixer [18:21] fyrfry: you can change the recording levels as well [18:22] Shadu: the port is USB2 capable. [18:22] Shadu: hmm. Try this: [18:22] dmacnutt should I make everything in alsamixer maxed? [18:22] no [18:22] Shadu: Unplug the disk again... [18:22] dmacnutt then what parts? [18:22] microphone and maybe microphone capture [18:23] hi, i have three ntfs partitions automounted, but i "HEAR" ubuntu is constantly accessing them, how can i determine what does this? file indexing is disabled [18:23] you'll have to go into properties and make sure all the needed sliders are being shhown [18:23] dmacnutt where's mic capture? [18:23] hmm.. does anyone know any simple music making prog? or perhaps some fun design or somethin? (need some time-killing things to do) [18:23] by default it turns off a lot because most people don't need it [18:23] ccooke: something is preventing my porsche disk to unmount gimme a sec and i'll fix it :P === Trevinho-{AwAy} is now known as Trevinyo [18:23] open up volume control and hit properties [18:23] Shadu: kill the rsync [18:24] edit-preferences [18:24] dmacnutt there are no properties [18:24] oh, k [18:24] ccooke: nothing to show when i do "jobs" [18:24] then what? [18:24] then find the ones that have to do with microphone and click on them then screw with the levels [18:25] ccooke: shall i just plug the drive out ? [18:25] wow [18:25] dmacnutt ok, I got crazy feedback for a second but then lowered that one === ubuntu_ is now known as Hagane [18:25] dmacnutt you have skype? mind if I call you to see if it works? [18:25] Shadu: try unmounting it again now [18:26] fyrfry: you can use the test call feature in skype [18:26] Shadu: (and close any windows on it and any programs accessing it) [18:26] dmacnutt but I won't be able to tell if they can hear me [18:26] will I be able to use a 64 bit linux on a pentium D? [18:26] dmacnutt that's the problem, they can't hear me [18:26] ccooke: still the same error [18:26] ccooke: closed all but IRC, firefox and virtualbox [18:26] fyrfry: the test call will play back what ou say [18:27] Shadu: okay. Physically unmount it, then [18:27] ore can pentium D only supporty a 32 bit? [18:27] yeahhhhhhhh [18:27] dmacnutt ok [18:27] HELLO guys! [18:27] ccooke: (starting the virtualbox to check something in vista) [18:27] has anyone had problems booting the ubuntu CD in qemu? [18:27] ccooke: unplug it you mean? [18:27] it seems to be unreasonably slow... almost to the point that it seems frozen [18:27] ok, so, in case anyone comes across this again... i had a fresh install and installed the icedtea packages for java.. they failed to launch the test applet at java.com... i uninstalled and installed the sun-java6-plugin and it worked great... THEN i unstalled ubuntu-restricted-extras, which uninstalls sun and installs icedtea!! [18:27] Shadu: does the virtualbox access anything on the Lacie/PORCHE? [18:27] far slower than other OS's/distros I've installed in qemu [18:28] dmacnutt still doesn't work [18:28] Shadu: if so (or if you're unsure), close it [18:28] so i had to RE-uninstall icedtea and RE-install sun-java6-plugin and all is working again [18:28] is your mic junk? :) [18:28] ccooke: nah and started it after i tried to unmount it [18:28] dmacnutt I have tried two different ones, so I doubt it [18:28] Shadu: in which case, unplug [18:28] anyone? [18:28] ccooke: k unplugged it [18:29] Shadu: Right [18:29] * Dialog some give psybnc or freeshell to me? please :S [18:29] Shadu: try this: [18:29] ccooke: it remains on my desktop tho [18:29] I have a newbie question....how come when I download files/program they go to the desktop, new to Ubuntu? [18:29] would anyone know how I would install named/bind? [18:29] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: just a firefox setting [18:29] Shadu: 'sudo rmmod ehci_usb' [18:30] Martin: I need to send it C: drive as in home... [18:30] ccooke: hmm ubuntu still thinks the drive is mounted :/ [18:30] ccooke: kk gonna try now [18:31] ccooke: did "sudo rmmod ehci_usb" and i get "ERROR: Module ehci_usb does not exist in /proc/modules" [18:31] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: ah windows [18:31] <[GSF]Martin> tools/options/select downlaod location [18:31] Shadu: damn, things have changed. Sec. [18:31] <[GSF]Martin> what's wrong with the desktop? why save things to C:\? [18:31] [GSF] Martin: you accept pming? [18:31] no one has tried installing ubuntu in qemu? [18:31] ccooke: im running hardy btw if that makes a different [18:31] ccooke: difference* [18:31] <[GSF]Martin> if it lets me yes? [18:32] <[GSF]Martin> but i think i just answered your question [18:32] ok, new question... can ubuntu be debootstrapped onto a system? [18:32] ok [18:32] Nasra: in Firefox you can go to Edit-> preferences and on the main tab you can either tell it where to download stuff every time or tell it to prompt you each time [18:32] any one know if there is a irc for the game dofus [18:32] Shadu: ah, yes. 'sudo rmmod ehci_hcd' [18:32] biagidp: thanks alot [18:32] in hardy, ive lost the ability to copy and paste with xterm. [18:32] <[GSF]Martin> [18:31] <[GSF]Martin> tools/options/select downlaod location [18:32] <[GSF]Martin> :P [18:33] <[GSF]Martin> seeing as it's windows [18:33] thanks Martin [18:33] ccooke: k didnt error this time, but didnt get any output either.. dunno if thats okay [18:33] dmacnutt well, I tweaked some stuff and got it working. Now I'm wondering if you know anythig about Skype screwing up in Hardy b/c I use other sound programs [18:33] Shadu: it's fine. [18:33] Shadu: 'sudo modprobe ehci_hcd' [18:33] i use xterm for a system here at work, and no, gnome-terminal cant be substituted. Its a remote access setup for my salesreps, and I wanted the lowest mem footprint possible [18:33] ccooke: kk it accepted that [18:34] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fyrfry, yes skype does that [18:34] Shadu: right. Now, hit enter a few times in that log window... [18:34] anyone know how to get rid of the joins and quit messages on x-chat? [18:34] fyrfry: not sure what you mean [18:34] I need to recompile php5 with additional options. How can I go about doing that from the package source? [18:34] People! is Jailtool and Jailkit the same? [18:34] can anyone give me an opinion on this computer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115472 [18:34] ccooke: you mean that tail -f thingy window ? [18:34] slestak: check out gpm [18:34] Shadu: yes [18:34] <[GSF]Martin> kathy: what are you using it for? [18:34] ccooke: closed that when the drive didnt want to unmount :/ [18:35] new 8.04 install. any quick things to check to get browsing windows shares to work? [18:35] [hardy]tutuxg when's it gonna stop doing that? [18:35] Shadu: okay - open a new terminal [18:35] What program does the file /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.24/drivers/cpufreq/Kconfig configure? [18:35] school mostly, notes in class and browsing but I like messing with ubuntu alot, desktop effects all that stuff [18:35] Shadu: is the drive still 'mounted'? [18:35] <[GSF]Martin> it's a little old [18:35] ccooke: yep [18:35] <[GSF]Martin> but it's cheap enough for a student [18:35] bullgard4: the kernel [18:35] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fyrfry, when skype devs decide add pulseaudio support to it [18:35] Shadu: try unmounting it again, now the drive is unplugged? [18:35] ya thats what i figured [18:35] <[GSF]Martin> it'll handle notes fine [18:35] what is the difference about GNOME2 and GTK2? [18:35] [hardy]tutuxg haha, any idea when that'll be? [18:36] <[GSF]Martin> won't be a gaming beast [18:36] Boohbah: hehe [18:36] im not big on gaming anyway [18:36] For no reason at all (I was afk and did nothing) rtorrent, audicous and probably some other applications crashed. Now I can't start any of them, and audio doesn't work at all? What can I do that doesn't include "roboot"? [18:36] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fyrfry, no idea [18:36] i ask this because i want to download a python editor and there're 2 options [18:36] ccooke: wont do a thing, it stays in the /media/ folder aswell and the mount command still shows it [18:36] soundf_: gtk is a toolkit, gnome is a desktop environment [18:36] Boohbah: think gpm install will require restartign X? [18:36] vista would go immediately for ubuntu with xp in a vm hopefullyy [18:36] [Hardy]TuTUXG well that sux. There's nothing I can do about it at all? Do I have to restart my cpu to get it to work, or just signout/in [18:36] Shadu: 'sudo umount /media/Lacie /media/PORSCHE' [18:36] bullgard4: what? [18:36] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fyrfry, skype's not open source, so i can't tell the roadmap of it [18:36] Courier font under ubuntu is really weird, is there a way to replace it with windows looking courier? [18:36] <[GSF]Martin> kathy: you can buy without an os to save money if you shop around [18:36] so what does this means? "Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GNOME2 GUI " === ubuntu_ is now known as jasig [18:37] slestak: no, it controls the mouse in console mode [18:37] do you know where though? [18:37] there's also "Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GTK2 GUI" [18:37] Boohbah: I expect a resonable answer. [18:37] people in ubuntu i've noticed are reboot-happy [18:37] i can never find a site that isnt too shady [18:37] ccooke: kk seems to be finaly gone [18:37] bullgard4: what is wrong with my answer? that's a kernel config [18:37] Shadu: right. [18:37] <[GSF]Martin> kathy: keep in mind one of the main issues with student laptops = is it portable + will the battery last [18:38] <[GSF]Martin> everything else is secondary : [18:38] Shadu: in that terminal, 'tail -0f /var/log/kern.log' [18:38] Shadu: and once you've done that, plug the drive back in [18:38] idc about the battery, the table/desks have outlets right on top for laptops [18:38] [Hardy]TuTUXG one last question about Skype. I've gone to my skype account and edited it so that people can see my # on their caller ID, but it still shows up as zeros. Why? [18:38] [GSF]Martin: just bought a network printer is it hard to set it up ...or is it just plug and play like in windows...? [18:38] thanks [18:38] <[GSF]Martin> maybe you were the first person to ever sign up to skype [18:38] ccooke: k done those 2 steps [18:39] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: if you have the drivers it'll be alright [18:39] it also says "Other port CIR (consumer infrared) " does that i mean i could buy a remote for it? [18:39] Shadu: could you pastebin the output of the tail command, please? [18:39] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: go to the manufacturer's website if it doesn't work by plug and play and get the driver === Dialog is now known as Unrealac [18:39] <[GSF]Martin> kathy: looks like it [18:39] I've gone to my skype account and edited it so that people can see my # on their caller ID, but it still shows up as zeros. Why? [18:39] Boohbah: I knew that before when you told me: "that's a kernel config." I have asked for a specific program. [18:39] ok [18:39] ccooke: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11704/ [18:40] so do you have any suggestions on where to look for laptop without an os? [18:40] [GSF] Martin: I have a cd with it...that comes with it......should I just intallit? === arlekin is now known as Manowar [18:40] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: the cd likely won't have linux drivers but you can try [18:40] Shadu: Nope, that's not done it. [18:40] I am new to Ubuntu [18:40] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: plug the printer in and see if it works first :P [18:40] okay [18:40] Shadu: unmount and unplug... [18:40] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fyrfry, i really wanna help u, but as i said, there maybe bugs with skype and not a lot ppl know how to solve them since it's not open [18:40] okay [18:40] Boohbah: no joy with gpm. [18:41] bullgard4: the kernel is a specific program [18:41] [Hardy]TuTUXG Well, I don't think this is a bug I suspect I haven't done something right. But anyway, thanks for your help and I'll keep trying to figure it out [18:41] does anyone know how durable acers are? [18:41] [GSF] Martin: get back to you with results [18:41] kathy: somewhat rather [18:41] bullgard4: maybe you are looking for a particular kernel subsystem? i'm sort of confused about what you are looking for [18:42] <[GSF]Martin> Nasra: afk a bit :P [18:42] ccooke: k done that [18:42] thanks Vlet , i take it you have one? [18:42] Ok, what do I do when a program hangs connecting /tmp/.esd-1000/socket ? [18:42] kathy: nope - just making that up === Manowar is now known as okoko [18:42] slestak: are you serving up xterms over an ssh tunnel? [18:42] .. [18:43] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> fyrfry, no problem, and when the audio not working well, close all the programs with audio like firefox and music players and restart skype, then it should work [18:43] Shadu: try 'rmmod uhci_hcd', then replugging the drive [18:43] Boohbah: If you do not know more than that then you cannot help me. Not the kernel as an entity will call and use this configuration file but a specific program. [18:43] kathy: they're kind of flimsy [18:43] Shadu: 'sudo rmmod uhci_hcd', that should be [18:43] kathy: get a toshiba or hp [18:43] i refuse to get hp or compaq [18:43] Boohbah: close, xterms over nomachine from rhel5. with gutsy or xp as a client i have no copy and paste issues, new issue with hardy. [18:43] kathy, I have a friend who has had an Acer laptop for about three years. He doesn't abuse it so it is still working. [18:44] which torrent client is preferred for ubuntu ? [18:44] kathy, you're not planning on whacking tennis balls with your laptop are you? :) [18:44] lol no [18:44] ccooke: somehow my bluetooth stopped working when i entered that command :s [18:44] i take care of my things, its my roommate im worried will be throwing the tennis balls around [18:44] Shadu: indeed. That's removed support for usb1/usb1.1 devices... [18:45] kathy, then most of them are "durable". Just take care of them and don't abuse them, they mostly last.

[18:49] ccooke: seems so [18:49] ccooke: shall i try the other drive ? [18:49] kthakore: poke around in the godaddy controls - there's probably a way to set the IP to which it points [18:49] Shadu: I'm afraid at this point, I'd have to suggest you try submitting a bug report [18:50] Shadu: yes, go ahead [18:50] thx Vlet [18:50] yeah Python Rocks!

They are not preloading Ubuntu. They are selling the laptops with a bare drive and FreeDOS (to satisfy the M$ contracts). So, you basically get a "white box" laptop. [18:54] how much do they start at? [18:54] ccooke: btw.. maybe something you know: is there someway to program and compile and stuff .exe files on ubuntu? (using the virtual box for that atm..) [18:54] kathy, http://www.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/nseries_nb?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd [18:54] Choicefresh: perhaps you need to defragment the XP partition first [18:54] can you advice some good boot manager ?

[18:54] ccooke: kk virtualmachine is shutdown :) [18:54] Choicefresh: perhaps [18:54] Shadu: Ubuntu (and linux in general) doesn't use .exe files [18:55] simplexio: n of the computer and come back but it no idea what command to type.also when i change compz the shade and exit out it doesnt save changes. [18:55] Shadu: are you building windows applications? [18:55] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> with wine it could :P [18:55] ccooke: yeah i know but maybe there was some program that would allow you to do that, guess im stuck with my virtualmachine [18:55] Choicefresh: also, maybe you were trying to resize it smaller than it can be (like, maybe you have 10 gigs of data and you were trying to resize it to 5 gigs) [18:55] ccooke: i got to at school yeah [18:55] Shadu: wine [18:55] Hagane: bum in synaptic [18:55] *sigh* this is going to be devastating...i have to change the boot settings back, defrag windows, reboot, change the boot settings back, start up ubuntu, change the settings back, rejoin, and then install [18:55] i did the default...guided resize [18:56] Choicefresh: where's the devastation [18:56] Choicefresh: how large is the windows partition?

[18:56] ccooke: anyhow.. about the file editing, tell me :) [18:56] Choicefresh: why do you need to change the boot settings? Do you have no grub menu?

[19:25] right..when I open up a browser for example it is sooo slow and I don't know exactly what I need to do [19:25] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> gltar, i think the switch user button should work [19:25] i didn't have the problem until i put the new video card in [19:26] does anyone in pidgin know how to keep guifications turned on but to keep all these joins and part messages from popping up? [19:26] hello hello people, is it normal that nautilus is taking 516MB of memory on gutsy? [19:26] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> sandra_, so it's not really relate to ubuntu [19:26] this is anoying no sound [19:26] is there a way to run the ubuntu installer in text mode? [19:26] see i'm not sure..i checked for more current drivers in windows and it said that I had the best ones [19:26] twobitwork: download the alternative iso [19:26] Sinnerman: no, unless you it is crashed or you are browsing a directory full of images/videos and it is creating thumbnails [19:26] and it runs great in windows [19:27] jimdb: ugh... ok, thanks [19:27] but when I start my virtual machine everything opens slowly [19:27] [Tracker] How can I search for a search term containing a space character? [19:27] Ali_ix: ah that would be it then - it is creating thumbnails; however, when i close the said directory, it does not seem to relinquish that memory, is that expected? [19:27] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> sandra_, i suggest u to look for the right driver if u r using vista, cuz some drivers for vista doesnt work well [19:27] does anyone in pidgin know how to keep guifications turned on but to keep all these joins and part messages from popping up? [19:27] any one know how i turn of my creative sound card [19:27] i'm not on vista..xp [19:28] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> sandra_, reinstall vmware? [19:28] Sinnerman: thumbnails will be created once until you change the file, so if you let it cream all thubmnails, then there might be no extra memory usage [19:28] hello [19:28] i have not done that..i was hoping that was last resort type of thing..but i may be there [19:28] i have a problem with sound in flashplayer with hardy [19:29] hey all, my fast user switching applet started showing only logged-in users in the user list about a week ago. Any ideas? [19:29] Sinnerman: also you can check top (in terminal) or system monitor in gnome to see which apps beside nautilus are eating memory [19:29] Ali_ix: yes, i've noticed the thumbnails seem to be stored with their md5 as filenames or such; but i was just wondering when exactly it would release that memory. short of killing it :D. [19:29] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> sandra_, keep ur ubuntu image, just reinstall the vmware player [19:29] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> sandra_, u dont need to reinstall ubuntu [19:29] sandra: Changing physical graphics card should, in theory, not have any effect on virtual machines. [19:29] Ali_ix: i've got nautilus in system monitor right now :D. it's the top of the pile for memory hog. [19:30] Having a problem with 8.04 - just installed it and when I try to boot it, it never loads the login screen. It just stays on the light orange screen with the cursor doing a loading animation.

[19:31] Austin`: no errors? you end up in a root shell? [19:31] Ali_ix: It gives me the option to boot normally or root shell [19:31] lll [19:32] And if I pick boot normally its the same problem [19:32] jimdb, you can ask in #pidgin [19:32] Austin`: there might be some vga problems, may be wrong driver or bad config [19:32] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Austin`, do what i said, find out the error messages [19:33] DRebellion are u trying to tell me that "linux ubuntu" is not for Games? i cannot play games with ubuntu normaly? :D haha [19:33] [Hardy]TuTUXG: ok, brb [19:33] Hi newbe needs help...

[19:34] So i cannot play games with linux ubuntu ???? [19:34] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> what game? [19:34] LogiTech: Of course you can [19:34] LordMorgoth: find . -name '*.mp3' -exec cp {} /your/path \; -print [19:34] LordMorgoth: try find + command exec parametrs [19:35] ok I really screwed up. I have dual boot pc xp and old ubuntu 7.10. tried to upgrade and now the partiions are lost. can still se my xp drives when i am in "ubuntu" mode. [19:35] LordMorgoth: Substitute your root path where I put in "." [19:35] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> LordMorgoth, u can write a script to do that [19:35] [Hardy]TuTUXG: Goldfisch already did it as one-liner:) [19:35] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> lol [19:35] eheh [19:35] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> im noob [19:36] Flannel ... i just got answer that i cannot play online games without lagg [19:36] LordMorgoth: My usage of find will flatten everything. If you want to preserve the folder structure, it will take a little more. [19:36] [Hardy]TuTUXG: mee too, glad to meet you :) [19:36] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> i was thinking cp */*.mp3 /path [19:36] LogiTech: Then whoever gave you said answer wasn't correct [19:36] thanks guys let me try waht Goldfisch n Ali_ix suggested :) [19:36] when i try guided install i see only two options manual or guided i dont longer see my xp partitions but i can mount them [19:36] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> LordMorgoth, will mine work? [19:37] [Hardy]TuTUXG: no [19:37] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> :( [19:37] Goldfisch: better to use -exec cp {} + rather than \; [19:37] [Hardy]TuTUXG: i tried urs before going in to ask :P [19:37] [Hardy]TuTUXG: the * wild card doesnt work that way [19:37] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Ali_ix, y?

[19:38] hydrogen: Huh? I use find all the time, especially when the file list I need to delete exceeds the command buffer. [19:38] wee that worked now i got sound [19:39] TuTUXG: Your idea may work if everything were at one level. find works recursively, so you can easily search a tree of files. [19:39] LogiTech: you might have more luck in #winehq, they may be able to answer specifics about that game, and/or help you with it [19:39] is there a way to find out what files are being written to? for example in windows i'd use something like filemon from sysinternals. [19:39] Goldfisch: I didn't say anything against that [19:39] Goldfisch: I said its better to use -exec blah {} + than blah {} \; [19:39] Sinnerman: lsof i think will help [19:40] ok i try... thank you Flannel [19:40] I'm trying to make ssh accepting my pub key for authentification.

Do you know if that is linux-specific, or POSIX-wide? (At work, they have solaris servers everywhere; at home I have linux on everything.) [19:40] TuTUXG: Yup. [19:40] Goldfisch: nope [19:40] Sup [19:40] nat2610: did you enabled key logins in ssh daemon?

[19:42] nat2610: usally in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [19:42] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Goldfisch, k, gotta [19:43] TuTXG: Actually, to be specific, using "*" in your command path gets expanded by the shell, before the actual command is run. In your case, before /bin/cp is called. [19:43] slestak: Well i think so lol, if i wasnt i dont think id be able to see anything === insomnia_ is now known as anabolix [19:43] TuTUXG: no prob.

[19:44] I found a workaround to fixing a linux problem, but I'm told to make a script with some code provided. What program do I use ti make a script? [19:45] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Goldfisch, did u mean that the cp will only run once? [19:45] kichimi: dont some x setup tools put a "temp" xorg.conf in the cwd? maybe check /root [19:45] Zaiden, gedit or any text editor [19:45] Zaiden: simply, a text editor, [19:45] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> Austin`, so there's something wrong with ur xorg.conf file [19:45] should i do reconfigure?

[19:47] <[Hardy]TuTUXG> jgb, login as root and add yourself back [19:47] jgb: boot up in recovery mood, you will have access to root shell, then add your self to groups [19:47] well it doesnt seem to say [19:47] <[GSF]Martin> didn't somebody say ubuntu doesn't have a root password?

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.

When you type "cp somepath/*.mp3 /path", it gets expanded to "cp somepath/1.mp3 somepath/2.mp3.... /path" before cp is actually run. It is up to the command itself to determine how it responds to variable arguments.

However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [19:51] Meh, as soon as I start dual booting Ubuntu, I start taking a class about using Windows XP...

[20:13] ... [20:14] * Vlet logs off [20:14] but when is disk anylizer saying 80 [20:14] Oberon: I open a terminal and just backspace, when it gets to the beginning should beep [20:15] Well it seems that xorg 7.2 wont crash with an ati radeon x1650 with the drivers installed and on 7.3 I do the same thing and with the drivers installed, on the next reboot I get a black screen, cant go to tty1 or anything just a black screen, yes the computer boots and it gets into the OS and doesn't show the screen at all after xorg is running [20:15] wow [20:15] yes i have hibernation on [20:15] Alehbye, No there is no beep. [20:15] interesting people in here today [20:15] stop beeping me, i g2g [20:15] should i turn hibernation off? [20:15] well, goodbye [20:15] Oberon: do you have any sound at all? [20:15] Choicefresh: So I have read [20:15] Choicefresh: wait no [20:16] Alehbye, No sound at all. [20:16] Choicefresh: you shouldn't [20:16] As in my speakers are working [20:16] okay [20:16] is 57C too hot for a cpu? [20:16] goodbye [20:16] no [20:16] Gin: its getting close i think [20:16] hi [20:16] simplexio, Also, my other RH9 box is running in 6 just fine. [20:16] anyone else have this problem with a radeon x1650 [20:16] Alehbye, My laptop speakers are working but no sound from the terminal. Music plays fine. [20:16] Gin: probably not, but to be sure, you should consult the spec sheet. You'll find it on the manufacturer's page [20:17] Thermal 1: ok, 64.0 degrees C [20:17] Gin: Usually not. [20:17] i have a booting problem with wubi [20:17] my nb seems to run fine with that high temperature [20:17] n00dle: strange problem. while i dont know much about congiuring ipv6 (because it just works) i havent have anyproblems with it [20:17] today I had 2 lockups with Ubuntu when encoding a video. :( [20:17] Oberon: go to System > Preferences > Sound, what is the sound playback set to? [20:17] what could have caused the lockups? [20:17] simplexio, Thanks... still hunting IPv6 Gurus. :D [20:18] Gin: first thing to check there is RAM. Use the memtes86 boot option from the grub menu [20:18] Alehbye, Autodetect [20:18] hi all [20:18] Gin: id have a look at the cooler first, had simmilar problems on my brothers pc, there was big film of dust between the cooler and the fan [20:18] GIN ubuntu live cd is freezing or install? [20:18] soundray: don't think it is RAM, [20:18] Oberon: try changing it to ALSA and testing again. [20:18] sudobash: nope, installation went fine [20:18] Still having same problem - when I try to boot it freezes right before the login screen and loads forever. Just upgraded to 8.04, recovery mode root shell works fine [20:18] now it is 60C :\ [20:19] is there somebody who knows how to assign sound to some keys on my laptop? i mean not using xbindkeys but just add a sound when launching apps with some keys [20:19] Gin: no need to think, given that it's so easy to check. mgolisch's suggestion is good, too [20:19] Gin so when you are booting it freezes... what Proc and MB? [20:19] anyone know why i would get a "The CD-ROM does not seem to contain a valid 'Release' file" error on a ISO? [20:19] I recall that there is no thermal paste between the heatsink and the cpu. :\ [20:19] Alehbye, Nothing :( [20:19] could that have caused the overheating? [20:19] thats your problems [20:19] Gin: yes [20:19] Gin: probably [20:19] my gf's macbook's t7400 is consistently running on 64c [20:19] any one know a good dvd player [20:19] definetly [20:19] Gin: that is bad idea [20:19] Leif software? [20:20] Gin what processor? [20:20] how bad is it? [20:20] yeah need to play my eu dvd [20:20] Oberon: I'm useless then. Sorry. Maybe someone else with more experience can tell you where to start. [20:20] not goo [20:20] d [20:20] sudobash: amd 64 3700+ [20:20] Gin: it's bad obviously, if you get crashes [20:20] yeah you need thermal it should be around 40 C [20:20] what type MB? [20:20] A friend of mine is trying to install xubuntu from the alternate cd. She got to the part where you put your hostname, and next it should start the partition manager. However it seems to have stopped while checking hardware [20:20] I don't know what MB it is any more [20:20] not its just overheating is all [20:20] Says it only displays blue with gray stripe [20:20] Thanks alot Alehbye [20:20] oh, it is an Asrock MB [20:21] but you need to enable MB Temp Threshold [20:21] MasseR: how much RAM does she have? [20:21] and update your MB BIOS [20:21] Oberon: np [20:21] sudobash: what does temp threshold do? [20:21] soundray: I'll check [20:21] MasseR: try changing to the log terminal alt+f4 usualy [20:21] turn of the pc if the temp gets to a certain degree [20:21] Alehbye, I used to have windows and ran a VM with ubuntu, i remember that had the terminal bell active. [20:21] but i have an AMD Atlon 64 X2 and it read 60 C before BIOS UPGrade and 40 C afterward [20:21] Alehbye, Could it be something to do with drivers? [20:22] so if you do have thermal gel on it and it is still overheating try BIOS upgrade [20:22] Oberon: I wouldn't think so for the system bell. [20:22] sudobash: the update probably introduced a correction factor for the temperature ;) [20:22] how do i create a dos boot disk (preferably virtual, i.e. a file that grub can boot)? [20:22] yeap [20:22] googling hasn't helped - since I upgraded to 8.04, networkmanager has asked me for the VPN passwds I need to connect to the internet. I go to keyring manager and cut and paste them. I'm using libpam-keyring. what's wrong and how do I fix it [20:22] strange the ubuntu player wont play my dvd [20:22] sudobash: encoding stopped, and the temp dropped to 45C. I'll get the thermal pste on it [20:22] I changed my drivers around just for testing with you and my bell worked no matter what [20:22] paste* [20:22] but it was overheating and shutting off for no reason [20:22] hello can somone help me , i need to download the deb pkg for bcm43 fw cutter for hardy and put it on a disk and then run it from the laptop im setting up to get it online. what is the http: address for this .deb file so i can just wget it ? [20:23] Alehbye, I have tried all the options on the list for the sound and none work with the bell. [20:23] leif_: what dvd? [20:23] yeah thats a good idea that is a sure sign that the heat isnt going anywhere fast [20:23] sudobash: ah, then they must have fixed a bug [20:23] leif_: if its content scrambled youd need to install libdvdcss [20:23] I was on my way to install Hardy 32bit :\ [20:23] ahh thanx [20:23] thought it was driver issue with Hardy x64 [20:23] soundray: Apparently she has 64 megabytes of ram. (at least the result of cat /proc/meminfo) [20:23] Gin use a thin layer of even gel [20:24] hi [20:24] MasseR: I'm afraid that's not enough for a regular Xubuntu installation. [20:24] thin evey layer* [20:24] sudobash: would toothpaste do? [20:24] even ** arghhh [20:24] :D [20:24] lmao [20:24] Anyone connect xbox 360 to Hardy?, mine fails to connect to eth0 device? [20:24] what is the soft like activesync for ubuntu ??? [20:24] soundray: Yep. Figured that out. [20:24] i'm on hardy and I want to know how I can automatically resize windows with compiz fusion. [20:24] Is there anyway to roll back 8.04 to my previous version (7.something) [20:24] Austin`: No. [20:24] soundray: I'll try to figure out some other linux distro for her :) [20:24] lika are you going through a router/switch or using a crossover? [20:24] Austin`: No, you have to reinstall. [20:25] or straight 360 to PC NIC? [20:25] Thanks anyway Alehbye [20:25] MasseR: consider DSL or Puppy Linux. It may be best to add some RAM, though [20:25] cpu is still hot now even pc is "almost" idling [20:25] hello [20:25] soundray: Yep [20:25] is there anyone here me ?

I need to reinstall Windows, when I do, how do I reinstall GRUB? [20:57] leif sounds like you need codecs [20:57] !grub | camokat [20:57] camokat: 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 [20:57] cylux, i think its an italian word :-) [20:57] D3RGPS31: if the drive is mounted, using the eject button on the drive usualy doesnt work [20:58] DShepherd: Yeah btu what is the murrina engine? [20:58] how can I make sure that my system always responds to shortcuts? For example, I have a bug with cube2 where it sometimes starts and doesn't recognize my keyboard or something, so I can look around with mouse and shoot and it appears to be running ok, but I can't move, and I can't exit the game because I can't press escape, so it's basically the same thing as my computer freezing. The only shortcut that works in that case is ctrl+bac [20:58] any takers on sox? [20:58] cylux, http://www.cimitan.com/murrine/ [20:58] alguien habla español [20:59] DShepherd: Thanks =D [20:59] In ubuntu, can I turn off the thing where when you click the middle button on the left-hand edge of the screen it hide the window?

[20:59] totem vcl [20:59] ubottu, thanks! [20:59] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [20:59] My sound capture is ALSA but when I try to do a test sound it plays nothing [20:59] haha, nice [20:59] leif_: and it doesnt work? how do you open it? [20:59] hello, did anyone notice strange behaviour of firefox 3.0 b4? It uses 100% of cpu and hard disk every 15-30 seconds for another 20 seconds :/ And it freezes then. [21:00] leif_: if i recall right vlc has some open dvd option [21:00] did you use that? [21:00] fyrfry, i dont think it should make any sound.. [21:00] leif_: i know totem-xine can do it [21:00] just play the disk [21:00] oh, it shouldn't? [21:00] ok [21:00] Sufixx: I've heard several claims of that; I'd suggest installing firefox 2 [21:00] Sufixx: well, you might want to upgrade. The current versions in the repositories is ff3b5. [21:00] i got all deb files for xine-totem [21:00] Sufixx: there is a solution [21:01] fyrfry, unless someone else in here has another view i dont think it should make any sound [21:01] Sufixx: go to edit --> preferences --> security [21:01] I seem to have a grub problem: I can't seem to boot without editing the command. I have to press 'e' to edit, then 'e' again to edit the firs line, then change "root (hd1,0)" to "root (hd0,0)" 'Enter' to save, and 'b' to boot...then it boots fine. Any idea how I could fix this problem so I don't have to make this change on every reboot? [21:01] dshepherd idk, maybe it's not supposed to. I'm having trouble with Skype and am trying to do anyting to fix it [21:01] Sufixx: uncheck both of the "Tell me if the site..." [21:01] aaroncampbell: edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file :-) [21:01] since I upgraded to 8.04, networkmanager has asked me for the VPN passwds I need to connect to the internet. I go to keyring manager and cut and paste them. I'm using libpam-keyring. what's wrong and how do I fix it? [21:02] aaroncampbell: the filename might not be EXACTLY that, but it's pretty close to it :-) [21:02] fyrfry, oh.. well good luck :-) [21:02] hey does anyone know of an equivalent to netselect-apt ? [21:02] mgolisch: are you still able to help me? [21:02] hey guys I don't have /dev/video and I can't open up my tvtuner card. how do I get /dev/video0 back please? [21:02] Lunar_Lamp: what about when I get a new kernel, won't it just overwrite it? [21:02] aaroncampbell: Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, but be sure to edit it in the comments at the top, not the grub lines themselves. there's a groot line. After doing that, sudo update-grub, and then verify that the entries have been made correctly [21:02] aaroncampbell: it shouldn't do, no, as the root is separate from the individual kernel boot options iirc [21:02] D3RGPS31: unmount the dvd first, either using sudo umount /mnt/cdrom or by adding the diskmount applet to your panel and use that [21:02] i changed my screens settings to something it can't show, anybody know how to change it back (in gnome-display-config) [21:02] Anyone here know anything about Skype? Especially skype configuration [21:02] D3RGPS31: sry /media/cdrom [21:02] Sufixx: then go to terminal and type "rm ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/urlclassifier*.sqlite" [21:02] mgolisch: thank you xD [21:03] um, is there a way to auto resize (unmaximize and resize windows automatically) windows? [21:03] Sufixx: then restart firefox, and it should work fine [21:03] Im Having problems with Java. [21:03] iMatter: whats the problem? [21:03] hey does anyone know of an equivalent to netselect-apt ? [21:03] If I would like to change the user name "root" for something else, I only have to change the name "root" in the /etc/passwd? could changning the user name "root" to something else cause certain problems? [21:03] mgolisch,I usually play java games offen if i let then sit for like 30mins they freeze [21:03] Flannel: so I uncomment and change groot? [21:03] Some_Person: thanks very much! [21:04] hi, I was by here yesterday or the day before with a problem with my root partition being full, but that was solved when I found out that my backup program tried to but my /home backup into the much smaller root partition. I fixed that, but now I have another problem: My system is suddenly seeing my root partition as 2,4 gb when in in reality is ~10 gb. Under System Monitor - Filesystems i see "Device: gvfs-fuse-daemon, Mount point ~/.gvfs" [21:04] being the exact same size as my root partition.. Because the SysMon sees my root correctly.. But the Disc Usage Analyzer does not.. o_O [21:04] iMatter: in browser? or what? [21:04] aaroncampbell: no, don't uncomment, just change the numbers [21:04] Sufixx: you're welcome [21:04] mgolisch, or ill be playing and then it suddenly freezes and i have to restart the browser disable java/javascript two times then try and do it [21:04] Flannel: that worked. Thanks [21:04] aaroncampbell: the commented stuff at the tpo is what update-grub uses to regenerate the menu.lst (the uncommented stuff), which is what GRUB reads each boot [21:04] mgolisch, if that doesnt work i have to use epiphany it does the same thing their too [21:05] Does anyone have any experience with streaming from a sound card from VLC to an xbox, or any other device for that matter? I am trying, but the stream coming out is VERY soft. [21:05] hey guys I don't have /dev/video and I can't open up my tvtuner card. how do I get /dev/video0 back please? [21:05] mgolisch, so im in a rut of restart and on/off and game play isnt quiet as fun always having to do that [21:05] iMatter: hm what java vm did you install? [21:05] Flannel: I wonder why it ended up wrong in the beginning... I installed three times on this system trying to figure out the problem before I found a solution on google and used that manual edit on boot [21:05] filthpig: um, the .gvfs mount point is managed by a userspace filesystem handler that has to fake space available. [21:05] the gcj one or the java jre? @ iMatter [21:05] Pelin_ankara: please dont pm me with spam [21:05] mgolisch, java jre [21:05] iMatter: sun jre i mean [21:05] aaroncampbell: Did you modify your drives after installation? [21:05] mgolisch, I beileave so let me check. [21:06] hey, need help at mounting my mybookworld, can sb help me with that? [21:06] Flannel: nope. I had a drive that I let it completely format and use for /, and another drive that had my previous /home that I had it mount at /home, but I did all that during install. [21:07] aaroncampbell: specific questions are more suitable for IRC [21:07] Flannel: I assumed it was a problem with the /home driver, so on the second install, I used just one drive ...same thing [21:07] hello! === hfddfhh is now known as spartA [21:07] aaroncampbell: odd indeed. [21:07] aaroncampbell, try using qtparted to see what the partitions are [21:07] kbrooks, this is really odd.. It seems the disk usage analyzer thinks my ext. HDD is a part of my root partition.. And thus claims that root is full Oo [21:07] aaroncampbell: oops, wrong person :) === spartA is now known as sa === Squawk__ is now known as Squawk [21:07] can sb say me why i don get an replay anywhere :( [21:07] pilz: to what qeustion? [21:07] pilz: specific questions are more likely to be answered [21:08] pilz: what is "sb" ? [21:08] Heya, how do I install a murrina theme? [21:08] ikonia: I assume 'somebody' [21:08] ah [21:08] pilz: and people prefer to have English that can be read, as opposed to abbreviations they have to decipher [21:08] mgolisch, I have sun-java6-bin sun-java6-demo sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin [21:09] iMatter: strange, and it worked before using whatever ubuntu release you had installed before? [21:09] filthpig: well, open a terminal and pastebin the output of the command "df -h", including the line on which you typed that [21:09] Flannel: well, now that it's solved, I'll log that into the recesses of my mind for use in another two years when I decide to re-install rather than upgrade :) [21:09] Flannel: Thanks again [21:09] mgolisch, well i never used java too much until now that i started playing a game i used to in windows alot. [21:09] how can I make sure that my system always responds to shortcuts? For example, I have a bug with cube2 where it sometimes starts and doesn't recognize my keyboard or something, so I can look around with mouse and shoot and it appears to be running ok, but I can't move, and I can't exit the game because I can't press escape, so it's basically the same thing as my computer freezing. The only shortcut that works in that case is ctrl+ [21:09] mgolisch, before the game only java i used was Frostwire/Limewire [21:10] mgolisch, those sometimes mess up too :/ [21:10] iMatter: never played java games in browser [21:10] mgolisch, what java packages do you have? [21:10] How do I change the charset? Umlauts aren't displayed properly here. [21:10] iMatter: i have the sunjre one too [21:10] but i dont play browser games [21:10] mgolisch, maybe i just have the wrong ones? [21:11] tim: are you using pidgin? [21:11] mgolisch, what version some people say get java 5 instead of 6 [21:11] mgolisch, i know im just asking because if you have a diffrent combo maybe thats it. [21:12] where would i post a guide to burning dreamcast cdi images in linux? [21:12] [Tracker] How can I search for a search term containing a space character? [21:12] phoenix5002: No, I'm using WeeChat. [21:12] Heya, how do I install a murrina theme? [21:12] phoenix5002: Pidgin is very buggy. [21:12] Hi, icant get Solaris 10 x86 to work in kvm, anyone have it running? [21:12] tim: I have no idea then [21:12] In firefox usually java applets turn up gray and i have to reload [21:12] or turn java on/off [21:13] redspike: #solaris? [21:13] iMatter: uninstall icedtea and install the sun-java6-plugin [21:13] iMatter, thats not right cause i have sun java jre 6 in firefox and it works great [21:13] HI [21:14] danbhfive, i never used icedtea. [21:14] imcool, hey [21:14] kbrooks, http://pastebin.com/m119c77b8 [21:14] iMatter: do it anyway? [21:14] spideyman, can you tell me the exact java packages you have installed? [21:14] danbhfive, i dont think its installed is what im saying. [21:14] iMatter, one sec [21:15] phoenix5002: It's because of my locales-setup. Someone in #debian told me how to fix it: dpkg-reconfigure locales. Thanks anyway. [21:15] iMatter: ok, so uninstalling it wont hurt then :p o well, if you dont want to listen to me, whatever [21:15] In ubuntu, can I turn off the thing where when you click the middle button on the left-hand edge of the screen it hide the window? I have compiz turned off. [21:15] Anyone experienced that restarting gdm just results in black screen on all consoles? This is with the fglrx driver for xorg. [21:15] iMatter, shows as sun java 6 in application menu [21:15] filthpig: please retype what you said before, all on one line, so i can help more effectively [21:15] danbhfive, im listening but im saying Icedtea isnt installed at all [21:16] Cant uninstall something thats not installed in first place. [21:16] iMatter: ok, if you checked, and its not installed, then its not installed [21:16] iMatter, try sudo apt-get install sun-java jresun java6 [21:16] danbhfive, i have the sun-java packages installed.

[21:21] Some_Person: maybe not; is that a big problem? [21:22] mads try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:22] joacim_: ls might sort on its own [21:22] joacim_: try echo instead iam sure that doesnt do it [21:22] mgolisch: I'll check...

[21:24] spideyman, mgolisch, Thank you for your help ill see if this fix works ill be back if it doesn't. [21:24] would you guys say that linux (ubuntu in this case) is any less suitable for photography and web development, than say.. a mac? [21:24] mgolisch: You've right! echo lists like this: backup.tar.ab backup.tar.ac -> backup.tar.af backup.tar.aa !!! [21:24] spideyman- yes,it isn't there. [21:25] mgolisch- well wine is supposed to appear in the Applications menu after it's installed.it doesn't for me.

[21:25] mads it should start a reconfigure script [21:25] spideyman: brb reboot [21:25] kbrooks, yes, I know my / looks full, but it's not. There seems to be some bug or something somewhere, because Disk Usage Analyzer claims my / is only 2,4 gb.. oO Last time my / appeared full it was because my backup prog tried to backup my /home into /usr/something (lol), but I deleted that. Now the problem seems to be different.. (I'm still on the phone but I'll try to keep two conversations at once ;) [21:25] which packages does the "file" utility belong to? i seem to be stranded on a very sparse setup :P [21:25] evilbug: yeah if you install an application using wine there should be a wine entry in the menu for that application [21:26] mgolisch- i don't have anything wine-related under Applications.

[21:31] kbrooks, but somethin gIS very wrong ;) [21:31] Hello. I've noticed that video played in Ubuntu (VLC/Totem) has much lower quality than in Windows (VLC/WMP). Does Linux suck for multimedia or is this just some settings? [21:31] how do i recover RAID 0 Stripe NTFS in linux? [21:32] gnome-settings-daemon: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :1.0.

[21:33] i didnt know linux supports windows dynamic disks(software raid) stuff at all [21:33] ApoorvKhatreja: thanks for the reply at atleast. [21:33] tarkus: I read "pornography" ^^ and that depends on if you're going to use applications not available to Ubuntu, but to Mac === pranaya is now known as psyxac [21:33] ApoorvKhatreja: Yes I do [21:33] anyone knows how can I undo beeping from my system block ? I dunno why, but instead of beeb from columns, my system block beeps on highlights or when I press left key in terminal (and there's no place to move for cursor) ?? [21:34] tag: macs are definitely better than a linux box for multimedia [21:34] tarkus: running Photoshop etc would be more difficult on Ubuntu [21:34] tarkus: GIMP may or may not suit your photo processing needs [21:34] Achoth: no idea then, try fiddling with the video settings, aspect ratio, decoders etc. [21:34] How do I disable snapping windows in Metacity? [21:34] i can run adobe cs 8 through wine but its not stable [21:34] Achoth: use kaffeine, more user friendly [21:35] ApoorvKhatreja: I'll try it out, thanks [21:35] ApoorvKhatreja: can you stop addressing incoherent statements to me? k.thx. [21:35] xborgy: anything is highly unlikely to be stable in wine [21:35] Anyone know how to get files out of a zip that's larger than 4 gigs? Ubuntu allows you to make them over 4 gigs, but there doesn't seem to be 64bit decompression. [21:35] ApoorvKhatreja: thats not true === ReL1K___________ is now known as ReL1K [21:36] Kohlrak: the program to decompress needs to be compiled with largefilesupport [21:36] xborgy: http://appdb.winehq.org/ [21:36] Kohlrak: usualy the unzip program isnt [21:36] ApoorvKhatreja: yeah yeah yeah i know all about wine [21:36] atleast on our redhat boxen i wasntz able to unzip 6gb zip files [21:36] mgolisch, got any that can? [21:36] xborgy: here is a comprehensive list of apps that would work fine on WINE [21:36] thats ok [21:36] mgolisch: try using the unzip program in a terminal [21:37] i dont need that info thanks anyways [21:37] Kohlrak: i installed the 7za comandline archiver tool from 7zip it supports large files [21:37] hey all [21:37] is there any way to run "locate " and also have it delete what it locates? [21:37] atleast the redhat version was build with large file support [21:37] anyone here know anything about kernel? [21:37] Thanks, mgolisch, i'll try that. If not i'll let you know.

[21:40] kbrooks, this is the thing that puzzles me: gvfs-fuse-daemon 9,3G 9,2G 0 100% /home/carl/.gvfs which is similar to /dev/sda1 9,3G 9,2G 0 100% / [21:40] xborgy- so if i wanted to delete every wine-related file/dir i would do "locate wine | rm"? [21:40] well then I was able to compile a new kernel and so when booting to login screen, it when black [21:40] know any fix? [21:40] evilbug: nope [21:41] mysticdarkhack: well could you be more specific, any error messages? [21:41] mysticdarkhack: or did you monitor go off as if it doesn't support the current resolution [21:41] I could find any error message and just the login screen is black although when do you think the error log be? [21:42] evilbug: are you saying you just want to remove wine all together or the programs you installed inside of wine? [21:42] ubuntu wont let me share a folder [21:42] is compwiz necessary? [21:42] mysticdarkhack: most probably looks like you broke your xorg.conf [21:42] only if you want pretty desktop effects [21:42] evil_tech: why? any error messaged? [21:42] mysticdarkhack: replace it with the xorg.conf.backup in the same folder [21:42] mysticdarkhack: then try [21:42] not sure, but what the solution to see of this? [21:43] evilbug: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine and then rm -rf ~/.wine [21:44] Flannel- and that deletes everything and everything of wine? [21:44] mgolisch: it tells me it is going to make changes to the perrmissions and then fails saying it cant make the necesary changes [21:44] evilbug: Except what other users have installed, yes. [21:44] you would mine guiding me through this? [21:44] Flannel, xborgy- thanks. [21:44] evilbug: they'd have to also rm -rf ~/.wine [21:44] evil_tech: how do you do that? [21:44] mysticdarkhack: can you reach a shell? [21:44] evilbug: yeah so if you wanted to just uninstall apps inside of wine just type in a terminal uninstaller [21:44] still learning more about linux and now I'm getting into kernel [21:44] evil_tech: do you use shares-admin? its the tool called when you select the share folder option in nautilus [21:45] mgolisch: browsed the file system to the folder, right clicked properties and the share tab [21:45] mysticdarkhack: can you get a bash shell from somewhere - a live CD perhaps?

[21:45] mysticdarkhack: a system using which you can modify things on your linux partition [21:46] evilbug: where were they? did you compile wine? === bustabinary is now known as bdoss [21:46] Flannel- i installed it via "apt-get install wine" [21:46] macedonia [21:46] evilbug: then the remove --purge got rid of all the files the package installed [21:46] has anyone managed to get evolution to work with MS exchange 2007?:) [21:46] evil_tech: i see same here, it says it doesnt have permission in some path [21:46] Flannel- and there were a couple of apps that would just not delete. [21:46] well I'm using the old kernel so I can boot normally and so you think I can work the shell through there? [21:46] imali nekoj za muabet [21:46] Flannel- or uninstall. [21:46] na kanal [21:47] it seems to think that it's an exchange 5.5 server, which is just wrong [21:47] evil_tech: have some minutes? ill try to figure out how it works [21:47] evilbug: What? just remove your ~/.wine folder [21:47] . [21:47] Hellow there, im new to linux just got it install, and i got an laptop li1718. and i found out to get my wireless working i need to to get this madwifi thigi, then change some codes, can any 1 plz help me whit this ?

[21:47] mgolisch: i have time at work [21:47] Achoth, gordonjcp: im using gimp/inkscape right now, and its alright, i never really used photoshop or anything.. i've been on linux for 2 years and using this toolset. which works fine for me. but i cant help but wonder if i would gain anything from using mac and prop software.. [21:47] Flannel- they were still showing up as installed. [21:47] and they would run when clicked. [21:47] evilbug: I also recomend you to delete unneded pathlinks in /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/lib32 /usr/X11R6/lib32 /lib32 [21:47] filthpig: yes, .gvfs is not a real filesystem. it is a custom filesystem. when you query for space, it will say that because it is impossible and impractical to find out the *actual amount of space* from the filesystem code. [21:47] oh and the latest kernel I compile and install is 2.6.25.3 [21:47] they are no longer needed now you uninstalled WINE, this makes your Ubuntubox more secure or so.. [21:48] evilbug: You've done something else then. [21:48] filthpig: the "total" part is too hard to find anyway, so it uses / [21:48] Flannel- nope,nothing other than install them. [21:48] Achoth, gordonjcp: like.. would i get better resulting quality? less grain with photoshop? i dont see what the big deal is with photoshop. aperture is alright because the UI is great. but i mean for photo processing, gimp is fine at this point, no? [21:48] sorry if I'm not giving you any right anser [21:49] evilbug: alright, pastebin the output of `apt-cache policy wine` [21:49] mysticdarkhack: nvidia card ? [21:49] evilbug: and while youre at it, in the sameone, the output of your locate for wine stuffs [21:49] The version of Nautilus in Ubuntu 7.10 let me find a folder easily just by typing the first few letters in the browser window, and it would automatically scroll down to the file or folder. Is there a way to do this in the 8.04 Nautilus, or has it been removed? [21:49] Has anyone used Yahoo message with WINE software and was able to chat on the mic??? How can i connect to yahoo it asked me to use a proxy when trying to connect.... please help! OR what should I use to chat with others on the mic when THEY are using Windows / vista....? I would like to get yahoo to work, who knows a proxy or what i should connect to to sign in... www.yahoo.com and proxy with no firewall does NOT work! =( LoL [21:49] because im about to invest in an entry level DSLR Canon or Nikon.. and i dont want my opensource toolset to hold me back from getting better image quality.. [21:50] no intergraded intel x3300 or 3100 [21:50] mysticdarkhack: i didnt get nvidia 169.12 driver compile with 25.3 [21:50] Achoth, gordonjcp: ^^ [21:50] Flannel- it's saying wine is not even installed. [21:50] hi [21:50] hello, I'd like to do something a little different with my grub installation for ubuntu. rather than loading it into the beginning of the first hd, as in setup (hd0), I'd like to set it up on its own partition & chainload it from another grub menu. But I'm getting error 17. Has anyone used grub to load a second grub? [21:50] I've some problems [21:50] can someone help me please? [21:50] evilbug: right, pastebin the output of your locate of wine. Also, are you sure the programs you're running successfully are wine programs? [21:50] kbrooks, so when I ask for the size of my / I actually get the numbers from gvfs? Or do I misunderstand something now? [21:50] batataxpto69: what's the problem? [21:50] mysticdarkhack: hmm then no idea [21:51] hello [21:51] evilbug: try sudo apt-get autoremove wine [21:51] though so lol [21:51] I've some resolutions trobles and I can't install the printer [21:51] mysticdarkhack: and use: username: when you talk someone, dosent hilight else [21:51] whats a good webserver to run ?

[21:51] filthpig: reversed, gvfs gets the numbers from / [21:51] evil_tech: you can start nautilus using gksu or you can edit your smb.conf and add/change the line "usershare owner only = False" [21:51] witch one is fast [21:51] sequethin, check out boa for light stuff ;-) [21:52] hey, I'd like to have a drive auto-mounted to be used as a continuation of my main harddrive on my server [21:52] boa you say? interesting. :) [21:52] homecable: apache [21:52] homecable, they all are depends on what you want to serve on how much hardware [21:52] anyone good with servers [21:52] mysticdarkhack: but my best quess is that your xorg.conf isnt right [21:52] homecable: absolutely the best there is [21:52] msg me [21:52] kbrooks, alright, but why? :P I've never seen (or at least noticed) it before on other, earlier installs..? [21:53] mgolisch: so i can run gksu nautilus and that should let me do it? [21:53] homecable: when you absolutely have to host for every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitute [21:53] *language* [21:53] *it's a quote* [21:53] filthpig: it = unionfs? [21:53] someone knows why ubuntu does not apply the right resolution on gdm window, pdf docs, help windows [21:53] evil_tech: yeah [21:53] atleast that seems to work for me [21:53] filthpig: er, it = gvfs? [21:53] mgolisch: yay it worked. [21:53] mgolisch: thanks [21:53] kbrooks, yes [21:53] does gstreamer work with rythumbox?

[21:59] i've installed linux-uvc, realized it was already installed anyway, but luvcview still says that it can't open /dev/video0 [21:59] i think he wants windows domain users to be part of the local admin group [21:59] so they can use sudo [21:59] oh, and linux-uvc supports my webcam, and it shows up in lsusb [21:59] although i would like to enable those users that authenticate against the AD be able to sudo [21:59] essentially add them to the "admin" group in /etc/group [22:00] yes [22:00] hello all. i just upgraded from gusty to hardy and i dont have sound anymore. any ideas?

[22:44] con-man, i dont have a dell [22:44] Xecuter: it is like the harddisk drive noise [22:44] mgolisch http://pastebin.ca/1016289 [22:44] DellGuy, con-man: Please take this discussion to ##hardware, it is not related to Ubuntu support, thank you.

[22:48] simple [22:48] must be found to dvds iso via Web server somewhere, someone knows how to help me? [22:48] tarkus, gimp can only do 8 bit image depth atm. if you want higher color depth support, you may want to investigate cinepaint. or invest in a pro app [22:48] asizemore: maybe you need to provide the gateway address too [22:48] tarkus: If you're shooting in RAW format you may want to bring them into rawstudio first. [22:48] DigitalisAkujin: the same way they call it i386, even though its for non-intels as well.

Can anyone help me? :( [23:09] mgolisch, me too, RedHat 6.2 then FreeBSD, then Slackware, then Gentoo, then finally the holy grail - Ubuntu - a productive workstation OS [23:09] i remember you had to do some setting [23:09] Vlet and erUSUL - Ok I will check, thanks. [23:09] iclebyte: i have been using suse, then debian, then gentoo, now ubuntu [23:09] Lowkey, what's your sound card? [23:09] do you remember what?

[23:11] I'm looking to add some files that appear on the desktop of a custom live CD. I don't see a /home/ubuntu/Desktop (or /home/ for that matter even). I've build some live cd's, I just don't see how the ubuntu user and Desktop structure is created or where it exists. Any general "look at this script/file" is all I need to get going. [23:11] i hate all rom distris somehow [23:11] Its a beta distro [23:11] rpm [23:11] #1. the desktop bar exit button disapperars when i click it to exit.i need the command to reset it back to the factory. [23:11] Yeah, its a horrible package system [23:11] LowKey, i think i've seen this before, but i forget what was done [23:11] we use redhat at work, i hate it [23:12] mgolisch, i'm using gentoo for my final year project in an embedded device - looked into GNAP but i couldn't be bothered to learn it indepth enough to make the changes i needed on my timescale [23:12] yep :( [23:12] if you wait, you should see more stuff on it eventualy [23:12] <[Lowkey]> Kohlrak: Think!

[23:14] my ip tables are screwed up or something, because I can't access the internet [23:14] Lowkey, did they have the same sound card/usb device?

[23:14] rpm's are aweful [23:14] Davidium, 1sec [23:15] Vlet, yes I do, but no pure-ftpd.conf. [23:15] Lowkey, try to check if your sound card supports mic input (should be an incompatability list), but i don't know if that'd make a difference or not, but it should. [23:15] pedervl yeah, I need help with that [23:15] <[Lowkey]> okay [23:16] <[Lowkey]> actually [23:16] TangentCollision - You can read the iptables documentation or read the source to understand the processes. [23:16] <[Lowkey]> Kohlrak: when I have windows installed it works fine [23:16] Davidium, how did you decide it should be on 0,5 ?..

[23:17] you get the grub terminal up then "root (hd0,5)" (with the space) then "setup (hd0)" [23:17] <[Lowkey]> ok [23:17] thorny_sun: do not disable sudo.

I have my restricted drivers enabled, and when i got to appearance >visual effects and set it to extras it doesnt enable it like i expected it to..... and theres no advanced desktop settings under perferences....but compiz is installed in synaptic [23:22] MrObvious, look up the wave format, you'll notice it's pretty much raw data. never did it myself, but if you can program it shouldn't be too difficult [23:22] xim: install compizconfig-settings-manager to get the Advanced Settings app back [23:22] ah ok thx [23:22] hmm, since they put in the patch a few weeks ago to stop requiring extended maintenance, we've had more extended mainteance tues [23:22] Kohlrak: Ahh nevermind, found something on Google.

[23:34] sCOTTo: that doesnt help [23:34] ok sorry [23:34] :) [23:34] can anyone tell me why my keyboard (full usb keyboard) which worked fine in gutsy seems to ignore the numlock? [23:34] sCOTTo: i get dual monitor on test but when i click on keep setings on test screen he dosent keep the setings [23:34] * sCOTTo is using ATI with dual monitors [23:34] belorix23112: did you try to restart your pc and then try again? that worked for some how [23:34] Gin: yes i have [23:34] slidge: http://www.slax.org/documentation_loop_mount.php [23:34] When I had 7.10 on this beast, I enabled restricted driver and then it took me to a page where I clicked on the firmware....but doesn't seem to do that under Hardy (or did it once) [23:35] belorix23112 try running gnome-display-properties [23:35] sCOTTo: did u know what can be? [23:35] marreco: yeah it doesnt seem to KEEP the settings after a reboot... its annoying. - on the other hand - it doesnt detect when you have unplugges the second monitor either :) [23:35] marreco: nah i gave up :) [23:35] hehe [23:35] no after reboot [23:35] i have a slow internet connection and ive been trying to update to hardy but dont want to anymore, the upgrade process dint pass the point were it had to fetch files...how do i undo all the changes it has made? [23:35] Soulwarp: max res is 800x600 [23:35] just after the test [23:35] i see dualscreen on test but after no more [23:35] just a clone [23:36] should I try to completely remove b43-fwcutter and then redo the enable under hardware drivers?? [23:36] anyone know how to connect to a subversion server though a socks5 proxy [23:36] Anyone? [23:36] sCOTTo: ? [23:36] marreco: nah i gave up :) [23:37] brocebeats: How about a tsocks wrapper command. [23:37] :( [23:37] Dante, worth a shot [23:37] so anyone ? [23:37] Trying to use GParted to shrink my vista partition and use the space for Ubuntu, only problem is... regardless if I sudo in, or su to root, when the program loads it shows keyrings next to the drives, and I cant edit anything [23:37] i am not familiar with that command stroyan [23:37] i just need to know how to use the config of displayconfig-gtk on xorg [23:37] c/lear [23:38] * sCOTTo needs to go :) [23:38] I use nvidia for graphics, and the restricted driver isnt working and needs to be reinstalled help please and !nvidia doesnt help [23:39] ok, I fixed it [23:40] <_adriaan> laeg: what do you mean by 'better'? [23:40] brocebeats: Use the 'tsocks' package to get the 'tsocks' command. You configure a proxy with /etc/tsocks.conf file. You run a command transparently using a proxy with 'tsocks command'. [23:40] howapt: Is that because the drives are mounted? [23:40] thats nifty [23:40] <_oOMOo_> Cron question - I want to back up some files daily to another machine using scp - are the scripts run as root in cron.daily? [23:40] but i need subversion to actually connect via the socks5 not just checkout [23:41] am i just blind,or banshee doesn't have and eq? [23:41] _oOMOo_, you can use sudo script.sh to run them as whoever you want [23:41] jbuncher_: Well, when I unmount the Vista drive, I get an error symbol, instead of a keyring symbol, and on the info it says that the data cannot be read... all of the drives are still uneditable [23:41] how so i find out what module is my wireless card is? its a intel 3945ABG but when i run "sudo modprobe -r ipw3945" i get an error can find that module [23:41] howapt: try installing ntfsprogs [23:41] jbuncher_: includes a partitioner? [23:42] My Restricted Nvidia Driver is enabled but says its not in use plEASE HELP [23:42] <_oOMOo_> iclebyte I actually want them to run as me not root, cos I have passwordless login set up for my username [23:42] howapt: I think Gparted will use ntfsprogs to play nicely with ntfs file systems [23:42] howapt: I don't know if gparted uses the ntfs-3g stuff [23:42] jbuncher_: will give it a try [23:42] then use 'sudo _oOMOo_ scriptname.sh' in cron [23:42] t0nto: iwl3945 [23:42] _oOMOo_, read up on /etc/sudoers you can do it with no password [23:42] so its not iwp3945 [23:43] brocebeats: I don't understand the distinction you make between 'connect' vs. 'checkout'. [23:43] My Restricted Nvidia Driver is enabled but says its not in use plEASE HELP [23:43] jbuncher_: not in the repositories [23:43] howapt: They're in mine.... [23:43] _oOMOo_: stuff in crontab is run as the user [23:44] My Restricted Nvidia Driver is enabled but says its not in use plEASE HELP [23:44] i accidentally typed control + s in a ubuntu ssh terminal... how do i recover? and who the **** created a command that can freeze up stuff? [23:44] howapt: ntfsprogs is in main [23:44] arooni: you mean in screen, yes? [23:44] Flannel, yes [23:45] <_oOMOo_> thanks iclebyte - Flannel do I need to specify the username in crontab - if the script runs as anything but me then my backup machine will ask for a password [23:45] so how do i find that? [23:45] arooni: Everything is still running, you just can't see it. ctrl-Q (or reconnecting) will make it all visible again [23:45] hello all. I've done something horibly catastrophic to my ubuntu laptop -- reset the filesystem permissions. Is there a way to get them back to their defaults? Right now I can barely hang on to a tty as root, much less gdm as myself :P [23:45] anyone can help to keep the displayconfig-gtk settings?? [23:45] eipc fail to whomever implemented control + s [23:45] arooni: xoff xon [23:46] <_oOMOo_> Flannel at least I guess it will as the ssh keys are in my $home/.ssh directory [23:46] _oOMOo_: crontab is run by the user, and is a per-user file. [23:46] jbuncher_: found it, bit of a nublet, been installing programs through the console and as "apt-get install ntfsprogs" wasnt running I presumed the worse [23:46] are cleartype fonts better in hardy for an lcd? [23:47] ah [23:47] hey guys [23:47] _adriaan: i don't know they were described as being better for lcd [23:47] lol [23:47] can i ask a non ubuntu question [23:47] !offtopic | tetris [23:47] tetris: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:48] <_oOMOo_> Flannel ok I get you, thanks. [23:48] Kohlrak it worked! Typing on wireless now. [23:48] thanks [23:48] hello all. I've done something horibly catastrophic to my ubuntu laptop -- reset the filesystem permissions. Is there a way to get them back to their defaults? Right now I can barely hang on to a tty as root, much less gdm as myself :P [23:48] Arky44: what did you execute exactly? [23:49] jrib: it wasn;t terminal, just graphical. i changed them all to root. [23:49] Anyone ahving problems with wow+wine+hardy? [23:49] jbuncher_: no change, still the keyrings [23:49] Arky44: recursively? [23:49] how to edit a vps DNS zone? [23:49] Arky44: There seems to be a sad lack of utilities to fix file permissions and ownership for the dpkg based distros like ubuntu. If you have a good system to model after you could use chmod and chown with the --reference option to set file permissions like the good system. Perhaps mounting your / from a liveCD boot. [23:50] stroyan: i've tried the live cd...unfortunately i only have one with an outdated kernel :( [23:50] not sure if this is the right place, is there a good free hard disk cloning tool? [23:50] TaRDy: dd? partimage? [23:50] Arky44: you messed with file permissions/ownership? [23:50] howapt: unmount it [23:50] hello, need sme help with icons [23:50] beli: yup [23:50] jbuncher_: genius [23:50] Arky44: An outdated kernel won't have too much affect on the files present in the system part of the filesystem. [23:51] jbuncher_: well, thanks, I mean lol [23:51] jrib, are those ones to look up? I just got a new laptop and want to image the factory install [23:51] howapt: no problem [23:51] stroyan: i know, but the CD wouldn't load [23:51] the kernel [23:51] hey so what should i do about the partitioning error? [23:51] what is the lastest version? [23:51] TaRDy: yeah [23:51] i am new to ubuntu, but isnt there a manifest file? [23:51] heatxsink: 8.04 [23:51] what is the name? [23:51] so I can upgrade i'm on gutsy atm [23:51] jbuncher_: if I can pick your brain one last time, how will I go about increasing the linux partition, surely unmounting linux will kill my session? (I say surely, I know nothing) [23:52] well, m just gonna throw this [23:52] i tried installing mac4lin icon theme 0.4 on 8.04 [23:52] hardy [23:52] how do i run: sudo locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8 ... i'm getting: 'locale-gen command not found' [23:52] Arky44: If your box will boot from the liveCD then you should be able to mount the hard disk file system and fix it from there. If it won't boot from the liveCD, then you certainly need a different one. [23:52] whats the name of the pack to install that has gcc [23:52] etc [23:53] stroyan: here's the error i get when i log in: [23:53] now i get this error after applying it "Network manager applet could not find some required resources" [23:53] homecable, build-essential [23:53] howapt: As long as there is space available to the right of the partition (in the little picture in gparted), you can grow an ext3 partition. You do need to unmount the file system though. You can do this (for example) running from a live cd. Just install gparted. [23:53] yeah [23:53] jbuncher_: ok, thanks again [23:53] howapt: no problem [23:53] beli, not as such, look in system administration synaptic package manager [23:53] got problems with my raid 5 array, wount mount now, ran xfs_repai -n, and got "entry "clockwork orange.iso" at block 0 offset 1144 in directory inode 2013266226 references non-existent inode 51034395" any one know what this means, and if i let xfs_repair fix it will i loose that file? [23:54] ompaul: i just asked because Arky44 needs to fix file perms [23:54] ompaul: with a manifest file he might be able to use find with xargs and some little awk/sed to fix them up [23:54] beli, yuk not a hope that I am aware of [23:55] is there any iranian here ? [23:55] hola como puedo poner mi carpeta de favoritos de ie en firefox??? [23:55] how do i run: sudo locale-gen en_GB.UTF-8 ... i'm getting: 'locale-gen command not found' .... what should i do (ubuntu hardy) [23:55] is there a separate chan for unbuntu server? [23:55] beli: It is odd. There are some md5sum checker packages for debian based systems. But packages to not have a manifest with file permissions and ownership. [23:55] beli, time to do that / reinstall and reconfigure = more than 1 [23:55] arooni, yes #ubuntu-server [23:55] arooni: This is an appropriate channel as well [23:55] I'm having trouble getting my wifi settings to "stick" with 8.04. Everytime I reboot I have to go back in and manually configure them. [23:55] Hi all... Please, I have a Ubuntu VPS and I want to look and learn about DNS Zone... unfortunelly all I find in google is DNS servers for browsing ... Which file hosts the dns information? [23:55] NekoKun, check out named [23:56] stroyan: /etc/gdm/Xsession : Beginning session setup... (*newline) Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_US. (*newline*) Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default. (*newline*) mkdtemp [23:56] Is there a known issue with the wifi config tool? [23:56] how to pm on this channel [23:56] !ir | badjoker [23:56] badjoker: #ubuntu-ir baraye Farsi zabanan mibashad ke channele rasmie goroohe Iran-ie ubuntu ast. #ubuntu-ir برای فارسی زبانان می‌باشد که کانال رسمی گروه ایرانی اوبونتو است. [23:56] anyone can help to keep the displayconfig-gtk settings?? [23:56] got^root: /msg [23:56] thats crazy [23:56] my terminal actually displayed those chars [23:56] ompaul: thanks [23:56] perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). [23:56] Can't exec "locale": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Encoding.pm line 16. .... how should i fix? [23:56] how should i set the locale on my ubuntu? ;p [23:57] Flannel: i know ;) [23:57] Right, banshee has suddenly started scrolling through all the songs at high speed instead of playing the one I want it to.. [23:57] 1321 user - thats a wow [23:57] Arky44: what are you trying to do atm? [23:58] change the file permissions back to where they were, and somwhow fix the above error [23:58] I'm having trouble getting my wifi settings to "stick" with 8.04. Everytime I reboot I have to go back in and manually configure them. [23:58] Is there a known issue with the wifi config tool? [23:58] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed [23:58] I did not have this prblem with Xubuntu 6.06 [23:59] hi all [23:59] Im having an issue with grub and ubuntu. I have two IDE drives, and just added a SATA drive today. When I reboot with the sata drive in I get a grub error of "Error 15", if I dont have the SATA drive in, it works.. any ideas? [23:59] ko : hi [23:59] Arky44: why not reinstall your packages? [23:59] ToxicSoul2: your GRUB stage 1 is looking for the wrong drive to find /boot, [23:59] !grub | ToxicSoul2 [23:59] ToxicSoul2: 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 [23:59] can anyone point some url or explain how to setup ipv6 to make a vhost on irc? [23:59] ToxicSoul2: first link there will help (do it with the other drive in)
