[00:01] markotitel: why don't you just say what the problem is [00:01] douye: yes, that's probably because you have installed some of the codec packages that ubuntu-restricted-extras depend on. Ubuntu-restricted-extras depend on a bunch of different codecs so that it's easy to install them all. you don't *need* to do it that way, though ;) [00:01] What's the name of the command run when you go to System > Admin. > Login Window?

The only app that has issues with sound is Lives Video Editor, but I will follow your advice anyway [00:02] douye- "ubuntu-restricted-extras" is a 'metapackage', as stated before- that means it simple tells your computer to download a bunch of other packages, it isn't actually a package in and of itself.

[00:07] looking for some help getting my ubuntu configured [00:07] how do I check if I have? I'm pretty sure I did, douye. Nikin: Isn't it installed by default? [00:07] J-Unit: kill works if you know the process id.. ie "kill 22944" .. pkill kills all processes that match the regexp you supply.. so "pkill fire" will kill all firefox processess and also any other processes starting with fire [00:07] I don't think I've ever used it, but I can probably do so. [00:07] I've used gthumb for a while, but I find I need tagging support as my image library grows. I can't stand f-spot. What else is there for the gnome desktop, that has the ability to fix small things like crop, rotate and red-eye. and has taggin support? Is picasa for linux any good?

[00:22] Has anyone else had an issue with ubuntu freezing up right after logging in after installing Esound? [00:22] there's a kernel bug that is solved by a firmware update. Can I as a regular user close it or does the kernel team to whom it's assigned have to do that. and is it invalid or fixed? [00:22] Zaiden: you shouldn't install esound. pulseaudio-esound-compat provides it. [00:22] gsker: which bug #?

Everytime I install something, It also tried to install googleearth at the end. [00:24] How do I tell it to just let go? [00:24] gsker: don't close it; the kernel team has its own triaging policies. [00:24] I have a 64 bit processor. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use the 64 bit version of Hardy? For example, hardware compatibility or incompatible packages. [00:24] linsejko: better try to remove it.... completly [00:24] gsker: the proper state would be 'Triaged'. [00:24] corinth We try to suggest that new users stick with 32 then upgrade later...

[00:26] corinth: other than that, 64bit support is quite good. Even skype, googleearth and acroread work (32bit versions of course) [00:26] Cash, you can click both mouse buttons on the desktop wallpaper or click the "wheel" button to move the cube around [00:26] Ahhhh. [00:26] corinth you can always dual boot.... see if there is enough speed difference to make it worth the effort [00:26] soundray, Thanks. [00:26] Soundray: It worked (sorta). I was able to resume from suspend, but everything was sluggish afterwards [00:26] linsejko: and did it install? [00:26] I stop it.

[00:32] Vaden, if you get the busybox shell it likely means it is not finding a hard drive to boot from; in which case you need to find it and mount it [00:32] Vaden: go to the vmware site and look for the Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop virtual appliance. === LeGreffi3R_ is now known as LeGreffi3R [00:32] my webcam is creative vista, Can i install this driver???

[00:38] i'm using a USB Enclosure for my 20gb hard drive... can i install it on there.. and do a boot for that drive? by hitting f12 to select my boot device? [00:38] TheNerdGotchU: you need to add the Window List applet to the new panel [00:38] vaden then mount the hard drive from the busybox shell and go to it-->will be a bit slower than a regular install though [00:38] TheNerdGotchU, go to a panel, right click and add "Notification Area" [00:38] TheNerdGotchU You need to click the panel and add to the panel the app switcher or something like that [00:38] were is the faq for wubi.. cause i'm not sure how to mount the hard drive [00:38] ratpoison: not Notification Area ( TheNerdGotchU) [00:38] Do ubuntu have the OPENSSL security problem?

[00:44] _paradox_: you need to name the link - I gave the option of giving it the same name [00:45] yes soundray [00:46] _paradox_, you probably need write preveleges on /usr/lib/mozilla/blah/blah.

[00:54] Thanatos____, go to system > preferences > appearance > go to the last tab and enable desktop effects.

[00:56] ratpoison, what does apt-cache search brasero turn up? [00:56] mouseboyx: just edit the mount_options key for vfat then and add sync to the list (not -o) [00:56] oh ok thanks [00:56] remu need a question [00:56] Thanatos____, "advanced desktop settings effects" is under system>preferences, if you have that you should be able to enable your cube [00:56] I am currently following ubottu's instructions. I assume that is what you mean? [00:56] bazhang: I tried, but the channel seems to be frozen [00:56] Hi guys! [00:56] when i play sound of any sort (ogg, mp3, movie on dvd) in vlc, i just get static from the speakers (even though the video displays correctly). i'm using hardy on powerpc. any suggestions? [00:56] ive got gmount-iso running, and im installing cricket 07 with wine, now the installer is telling me to swap discs, and when i go to unmount the iso so i can mount the second iso, it wont let me unmount the first iso, it tells me that the device is busy....can someone help? [00:56] Thanatos____, lol yup [00:57] Thanks so much soundray [00:57] agamotto_, they will know as soon as they get back; folks here may know as well-->just wanted to be sure you knew of that channel [00:57] Thanatos____, there are many things to do it... advanced desktop effects is gives you a program that has more features than ccsm but it's a little more complicated. Both can enable the cube [00:57] remu burn both iso to disk [00:57] mouseboyx: is it working for you? [00:57] yes [00:58] bazhang: Yah, I thought of it, but after staring at no new messages after 10 minutes, I figured the channel connection was fractured or something [00:58] * agamotto_ chuckles [00:58] I have just downloaded the nightly build of songbird. It comes in a tarball. how do I install it?(sorry for the dumb question) [00:58] Why isn't sync default?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [00:58] any ssh port forwarding experts have time for an unexplained mystery? [00:58] mouseboyx: because it prevents write caching. Write caching enhances performance [00:59] !anyone | hwilde [00:59] ratpoison : google launchpad ?? [00:59] hwilde: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:59] vbman: tar xzvf songbirdxx.XX.xx.tar.gz [00:59] helo, I'm find the good Bittorrent Server, someone cam help me? [00:59] Flannel, are you an ssh port forwarding expert [00:59] soundray, whats the point if the data isn't even getting written to the device, sounds slower to me... [00:59] vbman: Go into the Songbird dir that it creates in a terminal, type ./configure [00:59] mouseboyx: if your usage pattern is 'insert, write data, remove', then sync is better. [00:59] luciano, off topic here thanks [00:59] hwilde: You'll be more productive if you just ask the actual question to the channel in general [00:59] Flannel: Thanks [01:00] VNC not working [01:00] how to launch gui [01:00] on vnc [01:00] luciano: Bittorent server for what, please? [01:00] OH, but for internal drives... i get it, if it was on a type of drive basis, it would be better, soundray [01:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228363 [01:00] mouseboyx: if you open a file off the device and work on it with, say, the Gimp, then write caching makes it a lot more efficient. [01:00] Launchpad bug 228363 in ubuntu "Hauppauge PVR-150 with no audio after upgrading to Hardy" [Undecided,New] [01:00] Flannel, that would take a long time to explain and only an ssh port forwarding expert would understand. [01:00] so with wubi, if i just delete the /ubuntu folder, will that remove everything ? [01:00] or is there another way i have to get rid of it? [01:01] hwilde: Well, you've already spent 5 minutes trying to find an excuse to not ask the question, this is the internet, you can copy/paste (or pastebin if its that long) [01:01] Xsploit, via add/remove [01:01] i reinstalled another copy of windows over the old one and that appears to have fucked up ubuntu [01:01] !ohmy | Xsploit [01:01] Xsploit: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:01] is there a way i can get back into it without removing and reinstalling ubuntu ? [01:02] join #endgaget [01:02] vbman: After, the ./configure does it's thing, you do ./make, then ./make install. After that, you should just be able to ALT-F2, and type in songbird [01:02] join #endgagget [01:02] Flannel, I am trying to do remote port forwarding with the command ssh -N -R from client to server. On the server I can see from netstat that the connection is established and listening on the port. but I cannot login to the port. how could this be that the ssh tunnel is allowed to be created, but I cannot send traffic back over the tunnel?

[01:02] Xsploit: search google for grub fix mbr... When you reinstalled windows, you wiped out the grub loader [01:02] I think I enabled the "cube", what button combination enables the function? [01:02] write caching + sync? [01:02] _paradox_: sorry :) [01:03] can i burn an iso to an Cd-R instead of an Dvd-R [01:03] hisingh1: All commands in IRC are prefixed with / [01:03] Xsploit: Probably yes, it depends on what windows did, you might have more luck in their forum : http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 if you can't find anyone here familiar enough with wubi [01:03] TheNerdGotchU, sure [01:03] ///join #engadget [01:03] Flannel: wait a sec, this isn't source, it is an application [01:03] control+alt+leftclick [01:03] / /join #engadget for help on ssh [01:03] Thanatos____. default is going to be ALT+CTRL+LEFT/RIGHT [01:04] hisingh1: Nah, /join #engadget [01:04] uh oh [01:04] * hwilde ducks [01:04] Flannel:(already compiled) [01:04] do i need an iso burner for that or can i use ubunut's cd/dvd creator [01:04] and ctrl+alt+left or right arrow keys to change viewports [01:04] anybody here have experience with MONIT on a server for reliability????? [01:04] vbman11: just extract it into /usr/local/[wherever its stuff goes] [01:04] bazhang, you are pretty smart, do you know ssh -N -R port forwarding? [01:04] i mean iso burning program lol [01:04] Nerd: You should be ok with the built-in as long as the iso is not bigger than a cd [01:05] i got a question [01:05] TheNerdGotchU, right click on the iso and tell it go to cd burner [01:05] Thanatos____, plus, try holding middle click above the desktop background [01:05] TheNerdGotchU: Ubuntu has ISO burning software built in, just right click the ISO and you shoud have a "burn" option [01:05] does anyone know how to install a gamepad in ubuntu? [01:05] TheNerdGotchU, cd/dvd will do fine [01:05] Flannel: Thats all? [01:05] vbman11: more or less, yeah. [01:05] robert__, logitech gamepad ? [01:05] does anyone know where I can find a channel on freenode that deals in scripting for irc?

[01:05] robert__, usb ? just plug it in. type "dmesg" it's recognized naitvely [01:05] in terminal? [01:05] morning all [01:06] Question. is it possible to boot Linux off a flash drive? [01:06] hey [01:06] vbman11: probably a good idea to remove it if you've installed it in package management [01:06] do i type that in the terminal? [01:06] ust tried Wine, and I've got to say I'm quite impressed, even if shitloads still don't work [01:06] ¬¬ [01:06] Bah! My sound crashes at least three times a day now and the only way to get sound back is to restart. Does anyone know of an easier way so I don't have to log out and loose date? [01:06] arthur, sure, but very slow [01:06] you dont need packages for apt-get install [01:06] does anyone know where i could get a copy of the 6.06.1 iso lts the server one ? [01:06] Oops [01:06] they all seem to have been updated to the .2 [01:06] agamotto_ i can still choose ubuntu and i come to a command line prompt for /. so grub fix mbr is what i need? [01:06] what is the error message [01:06] gronne language please [01:06] starz: Why do you want .1? [01:06] i.e. i need a place that keeps older isos [01:06] blackvd, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [01:06] Flannel: special install requires that for the 3ware raid card i'm using unfortunately [01:06] can i copy and paste the iso image to the drive or do i need to go another route? [01:07] starz: it is still at ubuntu.com [01:07] do i type dmesg in the terminal? [01:07] robert__, yes "dmesg" [01:07] Flannel: K, Thanks! [01:07] hisingh1: No manual entry for gethostname [01:07] thanks [01:07] bazhang: sry.. "even if lots does not work".. better? [01:07] starz: Grab the alternate CD, those should still be .1, you can install a command line system from there, and then later switch to the -server kernel if you want [01:07] anybody on monit? [01:07] martianlobste1, try searching synaptic for gethostname, or google it [01:07] it did a bunch if text in just a split second [01:07] screw it ill just remove it and reinstall it [01:08] is that a really fast install or is something wrong? [01:08] Xsploit: No, you need to search google for grub commands. There is one to 'fix' an MBR that has been changed like your situation. I just don't remember the whole procedure currently [01:08] I'm trying to share files over the network between two machines I admin... [01:08] hwilde:didn't work.

[01:13] oops, i didin't see it type in the first time, sorry about the double post [01:13] ArrowLance: Um..... I have no clue what those could be unless they are some log file from chkdsk? [01:14] openssl? [01:14] gahh, I don't want it to be a windows share, I want it to be NFS [01:14] the shared folders thing is just /gone/ [01:14] Flannel: that still isn't quite what I need. I write C and C++ code. If I forget the syntax or include files for a function, say printf, then I type "man printf" from the command line, and the man page for printf comes up. But it seems that the man pages for most of the linux / unix api functions are missing. I would like to be able to do "man gethostname" and get the documentation for the C function, gethostname [01:14] well they are very large, and i never saw them before i installed ubuntu twice using wubi [01:14] I keep entering the password and it keeps asking me again [01:14] and now they are stoping me from defraging well [01:14] the share isn't even protected that I know of [01:15] * ethana2 installs samba and utilities [01:15] hey my gamepad still don't work [01:15] robert__: what kind?

[01:25] TheNerdGotchU: probably ifdown eth0 [01:25] yep [01:25] how does one boot back into XP from ubuntu? [01:25] TheNerdGotchU: or unplug your cable [01:25] sudo ifconfig eth0 down I thought [01:25] TheNerdGotchU: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [01:25] Gantz: click on the power button in the upper right hand corner and then select Windows XP from the boot list. [01:25] sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop [01:25] that's what I use anyway [01:25] that works too Dragnslcr [01:25] DragonSpirit, [01:25] hehe [01:26] i don't see that option [01:26] How can I output the result of 2^(8*4) ( or whatever) to append to a file? [01:26] Gantz: Did you install using Wubi? [01:26] if ifdown kills the connection if up would bring it back up [01:26] Gantz, another way is to click your icon on the top bar for the connection and click disable networking checkmark [01:27] right click [01:27] rabidweezle: to boot into windows...? [01:27] hi, my open vpn clients all get the same ip.. does anybody know why ?

[01:28] if there is no menu [01:29] oiiiiiiiii [01:29] !grub | Gantz [01:29] Gantz: 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 [01:29] can i use that guide backwards then? [01:30] Gantz: perhaps. [01:30] are you on sata or ide drives? [01:30] Gantz, which drive is windows on, the first or second? [01:30] Gantz: If not, ask Google. [01:30] i'm not sure what you mean by first or second [01:30] google helps alot with grub problems [01:30] the slave or master [01:30] DragonSpirit: Linux has no concept of "first" or "second" drive, so why are you asking? [01:30] actually i think they're both master [01:31] wtf? [01:31] Whats a good file extension for bash scripts? [01:31] Is it sh? [01:31] jumper the windows drive as slave if you have them both master [01:31] eboyjr: .bash [01:31] Gantz: find out where windows live and edit grub [01:31] lives [01:31] ! [01:31] on the same channel that is [01:31] if it's ide that is [01:31] if it's sata that's different I think [01:31] ones sata ones ide [01:31] eboyjr: .sh is fine too as long as you make sure to put bash in the crunch bang line. [01:31] ahhh [01:31] I see [01:32] so one will be hda, one will be sda? [01:32] RyanPrior: Awesome... thanks [01:32] again [01:32] is there a device manager type app in 8.04? i want to figure out what graphics card i have [01:32] * RabidWeezle don't remember the sata drive names [01:32] fdisk -l, then edit grub accordingly [01:32] ubuntu is on the older one while xp is on the newer [01:32] there you go [01:32] * RabidWeezle nods to nakedgoat [01:32] Freshy.. lspci should give you info [01:32] Freshy: lspci | egrep "(radeon|geforce)" [01:33] * RabidWeezle runs off since he can't think today [01:33] RabidWeezle, take that to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [01:33] Freshy: make that « lspci | egrep -i "(radeon|geforce)" » [01:33] Does anyone know of a way to have a screensaver as your wallpaper, WITHOUT XWINWRAP (Either that...or does anyone want to fix xwinwrap so it works with dual screens?)

[01:34] eboyjr: I think perhaps you should join #bash [01:34] RyanPrior: Okay [01:34] what should i choose, 32 bit or 64 bit ubuntu (amd64 6000 cpu) [01:35] eboyjr: for i in `seq 1 20` [01:35] hi.. cn anyone help me with shortcuts.desktop?? im having a problem.. [01:35] zzillezz depends how much ram you have [01:35] zzillezz: It depends on the amount of RAM you have, mostly. [01:35] are there still main disadvantages on going 64 bit [01:35] zzillezz if you have 4 or more gb of ram, you want to use 64bit [01:35] i have 2 gig of ram [01:35] soothesayer: Thanks [01:35] zzillezz i'm using 64bit, i have no issues tbh. [01:35] zzillezz: If you have >3GB of RAM, I suggest 64 bit. There are some disadvantages, but if you're tech savvy you should be able to work around them no problem. [01:35] zzillezz... also consider that you might want to use non-free software... like flash and such... 32 bit would be your best bet for a first time run [01:35] zzillezz: With 2GB of RAM, you will probably get only a very small benefit from running 64-bit. [01:36] zzillezz i found 2 .deb packages that i couldn't install because i was on amd64, and i had to compile those from source. Apart from that, no issues. [01:36] hmm that's what i was thinking too [01:36] hello, my screen flickers at random. Its not a hardware issue, but im not sure where to start troubleshooting. I'm using hte nvidia restricted driver and the issue started in hardy [01:36] and i read about the problems with flash and so [01:36] zzillezz 64-bit is definatly usable, but you should use 32-bit since you have no real need for 64-bit. [01:36] pete__: How are you sure it is not a hardware issue? [01:36] possitive [01:36] zzillezz i have no problems with flash...apart from the god damned OSS thingy [01:36] ryanprior: 100% sure [01:36] pete__: Emphasis on the word "how" [01:36] * nakedgoat runs amd64 no flash issues.. [01:37] ryanprior: didnt happy till the day i upgraded to hardy. Doesnt happen in windows. [01:37] thanks everyone :-) [01:37] How do i use aptitude to search packages by description and not just title? [01:37] ryanprior: on fresh install of hardy it went away for a while but jsut came back today [01:37] pete__: does it happen on the LiveCD? [01:37] ryanprior: no [01:38] ryanprior: let me explain what i mean by flicker. the screen seems to like of "refresh" almost... only once. and the display never distorts [01:39] pete__: It happens only once? [01:39] ryanprior: yes. but at random [01:39] ryanprior: might happen once every 5 minutes or so [01:40] That is strange. I would have no clue how to troubleshoot it either. [01:40] :( [01:40] crap [01:40] maybe try changine your screen rate? [01:40] eugman: its at 60hz [01:40] eugman: thats what its always been at... :( [01:41] Maybe it should be at 6.005hz? [01:41] ohhhhhhhhhh [01:41] It's something to try. I can't really gues what would be likely to cause such a heisenbug [01:41] ryanprior: 6 would be super low wouldnt it? [01:41] eugman:whats annoying is it went away :( [01:42] eugman: Im thinking its the nvidia restricted driver [01:42] however... dont know a lick about it [01:42] pete__: restricted drivers suck. [01:42] Hi, I'm trying to ./configure a program (bluez-utils-3.31) and it tells me "configure: error: dbus > 0.35 is required". However, I have dbus-1 on my system in /usr/lib/dbus-1.0. How can I tell configure where the library is? [01:43] foobar31: Perhaps you should update the update script? [01:43] update the update script? [01:43] ryanprior: haven't had an issue before. Its not ati... but... the opensource one does even less... [01:43] since updating to hardy ubuntu insists on auto-dimming by screen based on the brightness sensor ... i've tried to find everywhere i can to disable this but cannot .. anyone know where i might find this?

If i was to do disk encryption on Hardy, and use a keyfile (on a thumbdrive), would the thumb drive have to remain plugged in, or could I take it out soon after boot?

[03:07] joanki2: you can't. tar can't do zip, only gzip and bzip2 [03:07] ralph: you might need sudo [03:07] Agent_bob: I wouldn't do that but your choice [03:07] gzip bzip2 - which one do you recommend? [03:07] i almost always do !

XP not booting has nothing to do with ubuntu [03:13] I'm installing it on my daughter's laptop and its been sitting on 'Detecting Hardware' for about half an hour now [03:13] No drive activity or anything [03:13] lnar: I told you: kill the process [03:13] anyone played with the alternate CD and disk encryption? If you use a keyfile on a usb drive, does it need to remain plugged in, or is it only needed initially for the boot? [03:13] christian, is it you main hardrive? [03:13] yes because when i boot from cd it just gets over ran by ubuntu scripts [03:14] how do i know the pid? [03:14] mistik1: press ctrl+alt+f2, there log in and run "ps aux" [03:14] I tried installing Ubuntu 8.04 on another computer, and it loads up Busybox instead when I try booting into Ubuntu. Is there a way to fix this? [03:14] lnar: from ps [03:14] wols:yes because when i boot from cd it just gets over ran by ubuntu scripts [03:14] Genius314: it will tell you an error before loading busybox [03:14] eugman: no just my external, pics, music and movies [03:14] Is there any command that i can use to find out what causes a seg fault in a program? [03:14] mark__: when you run a XP CD, ubuntu NEVER comes into play ever. so explain more clearly what you mean [03:15] eugman:using gui copying will error out most of the time [03:15] mark__ are you just here to troll ? booting an xp cd will not "run any ubuntu script" [03:15] hey can somone help me set up a static IP from my router? [03:15] mark__: if you are unable to set your PC to boot from CD instead of harddisk, it is not a ubuntu problem [03:15] wols:i click f12 and instead of the click any button to boot from cd thing it just starts ubuntu [03:15] this is silly [03:15] navetz__: man interfaces. edit that file (interfaces) and /etc/init.d/networking restart [03:15] mark__: When it starts Ubuntu, choose the 'boot from first harddisk' option [03:16] eugman:I had attempted to dd image it but I screwed it up (obviously) [03:16] wiith ps there are like tons of lines, wich one is the correct to kill??? [03:16] hey guys what is the most lightweight browser, looking for something for my eeepc [03:16] When I move the mouse around or ctrl+alt+f2 the CDrom spins up then nothing else [03:16] usser: dillo is pretty good, assuming you still want a GUI [03:16] lynx! [03:16] mark__: your problem IS NOT a ubuntu problem. it's being unable to start from CD. [03:16] lynx, hehe, very lightweight, just no pictures, but that's no help [03:16] Flannel: thanks for not being an ahole like some others. ill just try that. [03:16] (it's also hard to use) [03:16] Flannel, yes a gui lynx is unacceptable :) [03:16] wols_: just have quick question, what is my gateway suppose to be and what is my route suppose to be? [03:16] how does one retain terminal history across terminal sessions. 7.04 OK but 8.04 not OK ? Googling doesn't see this as a common hardy behavior. [03:16] Hi, i installed my creative vista webcam, its working on cheese on my hardy, i can view it, but on Gyachi, kopete or ekiga etc, i am unable to broadcast it on the internet.. Help [03:17] Flannel: he wants to boot from CD. how does booting from hdd help him? [03:17] mark__ heh that might be because the f12 hotkey was something that the windows bootmgr accepted. you have to set your bios to boot from cdrom first [03:17] wols_: He said regardless of what he does, Ubuntu starts. He's trying to not boot from the CD, but back to windows. [03:17] Flannel: he's trying to boot from windows CD to reinstall it as he told us [03:17] chistian, hmm, well you could try the command line program cp which is the generic copying tool. That or i'd try copying things over a little at a time that might be a way around it. I'm afraid i don't know anything more helpful. [03:18] * pitchforked answered the question based on the wrong browser, heh, this is why i'll never be in support so much [03:18] wols which pid do i have to kill?? i do ps and there is a long list [03:18] what is your gateway address suppose to be? [03:18] anyway...gonna paste my whole big speel, been through the paste site so bare with me [03:18] mark__ and as wols so patiently pointed out, that is NOT a linux/ubuntu problem. neither is any "ubuntu script" "overwriting" anything. [03:18] Hi, i installed my creative vista webcam, its working on cheese on my hardy, i can view it, but on Gyachi, kopete or ekiga etc, i am unable to broadcast it on the internet.. Help [03:19] hi, i'm just trying to use ubuntu 8.04 under the wubu install. going into boot it starts fine, but then I'm prompted to choose my time zone, easy enough, immediately after i get Partman crashed, exit code 10 (A retry ultimately ends up in no movement of the install). Continuing with the error, I'm prompted for user information and then get "Summary Crashed" exit code 141 (Same thing happens for a retry as before). after that i' [03:19] I do notice that after going in to the live cd, I get prompted for the install again and that seems like it will go fine, I'm just concerned that it will overwrite my windows, which I'm just not ready to part with. so i'm just curious of whether that install will only be subject to the wubi vm or if it wants me to just install ubuntu and format the rest. [03:19] navetz__: the gateway is the routers ip address e.g. 192.168.0.1 [03:19] wols which pid do i have to kill?? i do ps and there is a long list [03:19] 90% done and It looks like I'm going to have to start all over again, Ubuntu MUST can do better than this [03:19] favro: oh ok, thank you, and is the route the IP address give to my by my ISP ? [03:20] I upgraded the RAM in my laptop.. it shows the full amount in bios, but in linux, it only shows 3GB of the 4GB i installed... any ideas? [03:20] Hardware detection on linux is a pretty simple task from goodness sakes [03:20] thats what I thought [03:20] wubi, ack... [03:20] navetz__: route? - you mean comps' ip address? [03:21] favro: I am not sure, my network manager says route [03:21] how do i disconnect an user with sudo??? [03:21] !root | lnar [03:21] lnar: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [03:21] lnar: how are they connected?

I was just playing around and the particular web page I was on had an option to open the video in it's own window, I tried it, and surprisingly it worked. [03:45] oholiks: ok. [03:45] oholiks: ok. [03:46] ah. so whatever changed, i guess that made it stop working for me?

[03:48] all i can find is a dell wireless mini card [03:48] Is there any page that explains what on earth has been going on with flash? [03:48] D0ugh_B0ii: lspci [03:48] !wlan | D0ugh_B0ii [03:48] D0ugh_B0ii: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:48] D0ugh_B0ii: most probably a Broadcom [03:49] is there a fix to get lightscribe working in x64? [03:49] I need a little help please, I was looking through www.bglug.net and was wanting to view a video but it is telling me that I need to install Adobe Flash Player how do I get it, and install it please [03:49] I've tried a few flash fixes, and it's all very dicey. Sometimes it workis, sometimes it doesn't, but now it just doesn't work at all [03:49] !flash [03:49] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:49] !flash [03:49] I think all I had to do was go to a site that uses it, got the prompt to install the plugin, did so, and voila [03:50] cant you just get flash in Add/Remove, thats how I got it [03:50] hi, i'm just trying to use ubuntu 8.04 under the wubu install. going into boot it starts fine, but then I'm prompted to choose my time zone, easy enough, immediately after i get Partman crashed, exit code 10 (A retry ultimately ends up in no movement of the install). Continuing with the error, I'm prompted for user information and then get "Summary Crashed" exit code 141 (Same thing happens for a retry as before). after that i' [03:50] I do notice that after going in to the live cd, I get prompted for the install again and that seems like it will go fine, I'm just concerned that it will overwrite my windows, which I'm just not ready to part with. so i'm just curious of whether that install will only be subject to the wubi vm or if it wants me to just install ubuntu and format the rest. I've looked at the forum but didn't quite see an answer. Sorry if I'm an [03:51] monokrome ummm google.com/linux search machine check exception on opteron kernel panic there is a lot of talk about that. you might gleen something there... idk. [03:51] anyone know how to use openvpn-vulnkey to check for vulnerable openvpn keys? it seems to detect everything as "Not Vulnerable" but I know a lot of my keys 'should' be vulnerable.... and my ubuntu client says it is vulnerable.... [03:52] s/gleen/glean/ [03:53] Agent_bob: Been looking for a while. Nothing helpful. [03:53] Just a lot of confused people. [03:53] everytime I reboot I have low-graphics mode. I shut off X, go to a TTY, and reinstall my video driver. After that, restarting X, I have my normal display back. What could be causing this/ === gbs is now known as fserve [03:55] how much space should i leave for my ubuntu install? [03:55] wow, #ubuntu is super quiet. [03:55] how to enable this 3d desktop [03:55] everytime I reboot I have low-graphics mode. I shut off X, go to a TTY, and reinstall my video driver. After that, restarting X, I have my normal display back. What could be causing this/ [03:55] i checked the box [03:55] I speak too soon. [03:55] it doesnt do anything [03:56] I'm going nuts with this flash problem. Nobody seems to have any solutions [03:56] cypha: It depends. How are you planning on partitioning? [03:56] * pitchforked couldn't help except say don't see a shrink, they just put you on weird meds [03:56] mophead: The flash problem with sound? [03:57] pitchforked :) [03:57] RyanPrior: i'm going to shrink the volume on vista, and then i dunno, format it from there as well [03:57] or maybe from the live cd [03:57] what do u suggest? [03:57] cypha: Are you planning on storing your documents on the NTFS partition? [03:57] No, it's just that flash things coe up as just a gray box, even if I restart the browser multiple times. It happens in firefox 3, firefox 2, and galeon [03:58] RyanPrior: yes [03:58] is that a problem? [03:58] hey all-- trying to play an .mkv HD file on my movie player but it's all herky jerky-- is there any trick to smoothing this out? I'm assuming my machine should be able to handle this (core 2 duo 3G ram) [03:58] wols_: Back to that windows share mount issue... if I want to make it permanent by adding //192.168.0.5/shared\ files /mnt/win cifs exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 0 it does not work any more (using sudo mount -a to test). Any suggestions? [03:58] cypha: In that case you should probably just give Ubuntu about 10-20GB and symlink /home/cypha to /your/windows/drive/Documents and Settings/cypha/My Documents [03:59] Whats the command to ping another box on my netowkr? [03:59] Any one know what over heating point is for a 4600+ dual core 939 socket ? [03:59] MrPocknix_: yer not gonna believe it - the command is ping [03:59] lol [03:59] k [03:59] Tried to install Ubuntu on XPsp2 using in windows installation...after its done creating the first disc image it says it can't acess the CD-ROM drive.. Is this a known issue?? [03:59] ryanprior: ok, that sounds great! [03:59] RyanPrior: so you think 10 gigs is enough then? [03:59] Kirovski: not a problem I've run into. [03:59] okay [04:00] why would i need 20? [04:00] monokrome does this happen on cold starts or only on hot reboot ? [04:00] i thought ubuntu comes with pretty much all software i would need [04:00] cypha: it depends on whether you want to install a ton of Linux programs and games or not. [04:00] i don't really plan on playings games [04:00] Hello there. I've been having problems with ubuntustudio 8.04 and LiVES video editor. I have emailed the developer and after sending him some info he concluded the problem was that ubuntustudio's version of sox des not support wav files. How can I get sox to support wav? [04:00] but what linux programs are not with ubuntu, that are useful? [04:00] cypha: If you aren't going to install many new programs, 10 should be fine. I install many, so I use 20 for my root partition. [04:00] can i pm you ryan? [04:00] cypha tons and tons. [04:01] !pm | cypha [04:01] cypha: 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. [04:01] I need help brainstorming. What could be causing flash to putz out completely on my machine? [04:01] cypha: thanks for asking though. :-) [04:01] ok, i just thought i was floodign a little with a stupid newbie question [04:01] but okie dokes [04:01] anyway, so ok, i guess i'll do 15 [04:01] can i adjust this later? [04:01] cypha: we're here for newbie questions. :-) [04:01] cypha: It's hard to adjust later, but may be possible. [04:02] hmm [04:02] so it's hard in comparison to adjusting on windows? [04:02] (cuz that's easy) [04:02] cypha: You adjust your partition sizes a lot on Windows? [04:02] not a lot [04:02] hey does wine have an irc? [04:02] but i can [04:02] and i'm going ot do taht right now, in fact [04:02] !wine | diver [04:02] =) [04:02] diver: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:02] Any one know what over heating point is for a 4600+ dual core 939 socket ? [04:02] it's easy to add space to a linux system [04:02] cypha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:02] it's very very easy to add space to a linux system [04:02] thanks ryan [04:02] diver: #winehq as well [04:03] sweeeeeet [04:03] thanks :D [04:03] Is there an irc room for flash problems? [04:03] mophead: What sort of flash problem? [04:03] somebody asked me to post my fstab, what command do I need to enter? [04:03] it's probably too easy to add space to a linux system [04:03] morgan555: cat /etc/fstab [04:03] No, it's just that flash things coe up as just a gray box, even if I restart the browser multiple times. It happens in firefox 3, firefox 2, and galeon [04:03] I've tried a few flash fixes, and it's all very dicey. Sometimes it workis, sometimes it doesn't, but now it just doesn't work at all [04:03] is there actually a fix out there to get flash working in 8.04? [04:04] & paste fstab to pastebin [04:04] cypha: It's easy to shrink partitions, but it's hard to grow them sometimes. [04:04] hmm [04:04] cypha: It's hard to grow them "backwards" on the disk. [04:04] cypha: And it's easy to remove from the end of a partition, but hard to move it "forward". [04:04] not sure what you mean by "growing backwards" [04:04] how can i search for a given string within all files with names matching some regex ? i assume i want something like "find ./* -name filenameregex | grep string", but that's not quite it. [04:04] Is there a command do uninstall and reinstall an app? [04:05] is it due to fragmentation? [04:05] cypha If your partition table is like this: [--------], it's easy to shrink it like this: [---- ] [04:05] cypha: But it's hard to shrink it like this: [ -----] [04:05] RyanPrior why change the size of a partition ? jsut mount more space where it's needed [04:05] Agent_bob: what's the difference? [04:06] Agent_bob: just mounting more space requires buying new hard drives. [04:06] question: should i go get my nvidia drivers for the nvidia site or is whatever that comes with ubuntu sufficient? [04:06] Chrysalis: Definitely use the Ubuntu Hardware Drivers manager. [04:06] Chrysalis: unless you want to break your ubuntu: the ubuntu drivers [04:07] cypha you don't change anything in the prtition you just mount another fs on the point that you want more space. (with the exception of /etc it's almost a no brainer) [04:07] !lvm [04:07] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [04:07] hmm [04:07] Is there a command do uninstall and reinstall an app? [04:07] so i guess that's not considered "cleaner" than a partition? [04:07] ok thx [04:07] and would that cause issues for me with windows using that partition? [04:07] mophead: man apt-get [04:07] or accessing files [04:08] cypha: I doubt you'll run out of space with 15G. [04:08] wols_: thanks [04:08] hi, i get no sound when hi, the sound in my games is not working, can someone help me? [04:09] hey all, for some reason the latest kernel just doesnt work. doesnt load can someone help me out? [04:09] RyanPrior: cool! thanks, exactly what i wanted to hear [04:09] PPKuma: try sobering up a bit [04:09] cypha if a person has a working linux system and they are running out of room it makes no sense at all to monkey with the root fs. not when it's so easy to add a line to the fstab and be done with it. [04:09] mophead: sorry... i was saying that my game's sound in not working [04:10] Agent_bob: k...so that doesn't have any limitation anywhere? [04:10] PPKuma: Is there something else on, like a movie or something? [04:10] hello, new user, looking for some help with wireless networking [04:10] mophead: hmmm nope... [04:10] anyone want to help a friend out? [04:10] cypha only the limitations of your physical disk/s avalable it doesn't even need to be on the same "disk" [04:10] mophead: the strange thing is that in my sister's account is working properly [04:11] k, cool,,,i'll keep that in mind for the future Agent_bob [04:11] thanks [04:11] PPKuma: because your sister has h4x [04:11] cypha it doesn't even have to be on the same computer [04:11] and thanks RyanPrior [04:11] cypha: Good luck. :-) [04:11] a virtual drive i guess [04:11] RyanPrior lol [04:11] cypha nfs share [04:12] whats a good application to view attached hardware and whether its working in hardy, might be? [04:12] ibleed: lspci and lsusb [04:12] and with unionfs it can even transparent [04:12] would anyone be able to help install a wireless driver? [04:12] ibleed: lshw [04:13] !wireless | tracey [04:13] tracey: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:13] Flannel, i have a usb device thats detected under lsusb how can i find out if its supported by the kernel? [04:13] thanks Flannel and RyanPrior [04:13] ohh, so Agent_bob, it would show up as a separate drive then? or folder? [04:13] it wouldnt' show as part of the main partition? [04:13] cypha nope [04:13] i have been through that for a few hours now i'll reread, but if i have questions, can i ask? [04:14] cypha and yes it can. [04:14] tracey: Yes, but please ask specific questions if possible. [04:14] sure [04:14] alright, whatever, i'm just going to shrink it 15 gigs so i can install linux and worry about the later stuff later [04:14] tracey: Giving us an error message or an exact scenario is much more likely to get you a useful answer. [04:14] thanks ryanprior [04:14] cypha if by "main partition" you mean root fs then yes. [04:15] cypha that's what i've been saying :) [04:15] cypha, I'm not sure precisely what you'rea asking. [04:15] Meh, This IRC thing confuses me. [04:15] http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=155441484 is anyone able to see the flash on this page? [04:15] SirMoo: what IRC client are you using? [04:15] I used the packetmanager to install x-chat. [04:15] whats a preferred gnome application to view a hdtv tv tuner? [04:15] SirMoo: xchat is decent, but needs a lot of configuration to fit my tastes. [04:16] Whats a good simple to use one? [04:16] help!! (hardy) firefox takes the WHOLE screen when starting, as if it was a fullscreen app! and i can't restore it to a smaller size [04:16] ibleed: The premier package for TV on Linux is MythTV, but it's not a Gnome app per se. [04:16] any idea what may be happening? [04:16] reduz: Press F11 [04:16] SirMoo: I like ChatZilla personally. [04:16] SirMoo: xchat shouldn't be too hard to get used to and/or customize, though. [04:17] +1 xchat [04:17] RyanPrior, that goes to.. fullscreen, doesn't change much :P [04:17] i have just installed, and when i run lshw -C network it is only showing my wired connection, not my wireless. i have used the windows wireless driver program to install my driver, and have installed netrtx32 it's saying "hardware present" [04:17] Well.. I see virtually no features. I've used it in the past... But not indepth. [04:17] Agent_bob, RyanPrior, i'm not sure precisely what i'm asking either [04:17] lol [04:17] can anyone help me with ssh please? it keeps telling me connection refused when i test ssh localhost [04:17] SirMoo: what features are you looking for? [04:17] g0tcha: is openssh-server installed? [04:17] but i still can't see the wireless hardware, any suggestions....did i miss a step? [04:17] hi everyone! i'm having an extreme problem setting up my wireless card with Ubuntu 8.04. i've followed every single guide on the forums but still... nothing. i run a Netgear WG311v3 [04:17] g0tcha: It might be refusing because you have a blacklisted key [04:17] http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=155441484 is anyone able to see the flash on this page? Is it somehow faulty? Because after reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree, youtube at elast works now [04:18] Starnestommy, yes, and i tried to reinstall it again as well [04:18] im getting a wierd error when i try to grip ssh [04:18] mop: yes [04:18] g0tcha: is sshd running in the process list? [04:18] mophead: I can see Flash fine. [04:18] ok i still need help with et sound [04:18] blizzard: me too [04:18] it giving me this: Gtk'WARNING **: cannot open display: [04:18] that's why i'm here [04:18] Ha. At the moment... I'm not picky... I just need something thats pretty easy to learn. [04:18] RyanPrior: can you see ito n that pargicular page? [04:18] mophead: Yes. [04:19] what problem are you having tracey? maybe its the same one [04:19] SirMoo: you're best off learning the text-mode commands. [04:19] SirMoo: google for an IRC tutorial and you'll learn everything you need to know. It's really very simple. [04:19] when i run lshw -C network it's not showing a wireless card [04:19] Sorry, I forgot how to login into this channel. [04:19] just the wired one [04:19] need help with et sound [04:19] but i thought that i installed the driver [04:20] I simply haven't been IRCing for a long time. [04:20] with the windows wireless driver utility [04:20] i'm stuck at installing the driver [04:20] via ndiswrapper [04:20] I also forgot how to properly how to do large blocks of plaintext without getting excluded and filtered out from this group. [04:21] coliny: You mean like pasting a configuration file into the channel or whatever? [04:21] Okay, how do I send you an output of say, lspci? [04:21] Starnestommy, ps -ef | grip ssh <-- this should show if ssh is running, right? [04:21] is there any way to force v-sync for all my video applications? [04:21] !pastebin | coliny [04:21] coliny: 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) [04:21] g0tcha: try "ps aux | grep sshd" [04:21] RyanPrior: I meant pasting a config file or something like this into the channel. [04:21] What's !pastebin? [04:21] my cpu is at 100% with a few tabs in ff3b5, konqueror in kde barely touches my cpu. . . is this normal? [04:21] coliny: read ubottu's message === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [04:22] Chrysalis: Some people have that behaviour when their browsing history is very large [04:22] i got the driver installed [04:22] what does '--sm-disable' mean? i see it in the network manager session entry (nm-applet --sm-disable) and in mail notification's session entry (mail-notification --sm-disable) [04:22] but [04:22] Didn't y'all show me earlier how to do with on the web? Come on, this is going so fast! [04:22] nothing after [04:22] Okay. [04:22] Ok, I think I am going to just give up [04:23] Okay, sorry. [04:23] Thanks anyway, everyone [04:23] where i'm having my problem is that nothing happens when i do the "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" command [04:23] mophead: Come back tomorrow and ask again, and so on. Hopefully you will get help eventually. [04:23] This cant be good, my CPU is running at 88 degrees celsius :( [04:23] Actually, I've got a disk drive to buy (an optical type) and I'm confused. I'll come back later. [04:23] Yeah, dabbill, that's usually not a good sign. :P [04:23] blizzardman1219: when sudo modprobe outputs nothing, it usually has worked [04:24] can some one help me with et sound [04:24] well, i figured that, but when i do iwconfig, it doesn't show me as having a wireless card [04:24] i just checked the temp for the first time in like 2 years, so i am guessing its been running this hot for that amount of time [04:24] Anybody hear me? I'll come back to this later when list out a few CD based products. Okay? [04:24] RyanPrior: where do i limit that. . . all i see is for how many days to keep history [04:24] blizzard: same for me [04:24] iwconfig says no wireless extentions [04:24] oh, so we are at the same spot [04:24] Chrysalis: There's a certain folder in ~/.mozilla/firefox/yourprofile/ to delete [04:25] lsusb detects my hdtv tuner but there is no /dev/video0 on my system. is it not supported? [04:25] Chrysalis: You might want to ask in #firefox or on irc.mozilla.org [04:25] ubottu: after I've pasted in an output, what do I do next. How do I point you to it? [04:25] coliny: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:25] yeah sounds like it, but when i run ndiswrapper -l [04:25] it lists the driver [04:25] RyanPrior: ok [04:25] question....i dont see one of my hard drives in the mnt nor media folder...but i see it listed under 'places' in which i have no right to access [04:25] how can i fix thi [04:25] s [04:25] can some one help me with et sound [04:25] coliny: Do you get it? uBOTtu? It's a pun. :-) [04:25] same with me tracey, it lists it as running and everything... [04:26] coliny: After you submit the text to pastebin, just give us the URL [04:26] RyanPrior: No, I didn't. I didn't know it was a bot. Sorry. [04:26] !paste [04:26] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:26] how do i get the screen saver on here? http://zoomquilt2.madmindworx.com/ [04:26] coliny: No problem. :-) [04:26] blizard: nice to see i'm not the only one [04:26] RyanPrior: How do I point you to it. [04:27] Scifiguy951: screen savers suck. Resist temptation. [04:27] I did the pasting so how do I point out you to it. [04:27] hi to everybody [04:27] It's a plaintext. [04:27] ok [04:28] Starnestommy: netrtx32 : driver installed [04:28] device (10EC:8136) present (alternate driver: r8169) [04:28] but that thing is trippy as hell! [04:28] so i have the driver installed [04:28] i just plugged in a hdtv tv tuner. unsure if its supported by my kernel. i see it in lsusb but i dont have a /dev/video0. do i need to restart first or do i try and get it seen by my kernel? === AaronHall is now known as AaronH [04:28] but then when run iwconfig i have nothing, any ideas? [04:28] anybody knows how to set up a sniffer on HH? [04:28] mine says the same thing, its a little different but its pretty much the same [04:28] RyanPrior: oh sorry. I didn't see your message. It's scrolls very frantically and fast. [04:28] Scifiguy951: The flash version is pretty cool! [04:28] can some one help me with et sound [04:29] robert__: what is wrong with your sound? [04:29] * BradP waves [04:29] how do i play it on my comp after i save it? its a .swf file [04:29] Okay, the URL is http://paste.ubuntu.com/12365. Okay? Is this what I do after the paste procedure? [04:29] can anyone help me with gutsy and video playback on an ati x1600? [04:29] Actually it's meaningless right now. [04:29] it wont play i have done the trubleshoot off of ubnutu and it still dose not work [04:30] robert__: what kind of sound card are you using? [04:30] i dont know all other sound works [04:30] I'll come back to this channel later when I list out the names of disk drive products I'm considering to buy soon. [04:30] robert__: what isn't working? [04:30] just not et [04:31] question....i dont see one of my hard drives in the mnt nor media folder...but i see it listed under 'places' in which i have no right to access. how can i fix this? [04:31] Look I'm sorry for entering this channel without a reason for it. [04:32] coliny: ##hardware might be a better choice for talking about hard drives as well [04:32] hi again [04:32] so does anyone know how to help tracey's and my problem? [04:33] Starnestommy, i logged in from ubuntu, i think its easier like this [04:33] Ryan: so i have installed my driver, and i can see it when i run ndiswrapper -l , but when i run iwconfig it says that i have no wireless extentsions, any ideas? [04:33] i tried to run that command, it gave me this error: (grip:6646): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [04:33] g0tcha1: which command? [04:34] Well this is fun, cant seem to get a video working in either Totem/VLC or mplayer, Seems my ubuntu install is missing a file " xacodec: failed to dlopen /usr/lib/codecs/vid_iv50.xa while /usr/lib/codecs/vid_iv50.xa: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - which is the Indgo 5 video codec [04:34] Anyone know much about this? [04:34] Starnestommy, ps aux | grip ssh [04:34] g0tcha1: it's grep, not grip [04:34] after clean install of hardy i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/12366/ would compiling kernel with via82cxxx module help? [04:35] blizzard: i think that we are SOL [04:35] ops [04:35] Starnestommy, root 6499 0.0 0.3 5280 968 ? Ss 03:40 0:00 /usr/sbin/sshd [04:35] guess it means its running [04:35] g0tcha1: it appears to be running [04:35] hi, the sound in my games is not working, can someone help me? [04:35] Starnestommy, why does it keep telling me connection refused even locally then? [04:35] g0tcha1: it could be a bad configuration setting in /etc/ssh/ssh_config [04:36] PPKuma: most games don't support Pulse Audio yet, so you'll need to quit applications which might be locking the sound device, such as Pidgin, Firefox, Rhythmbox, Amarok, etc. [04:36] Starnestommy, ill paste it for you in pastebin.com .. one sec [04:36] g0tcha1: Are you sure your key isn't blacklisted for being insecure? [04:36] :/ i think we are tracey. so no one can help? [04:36] RyanPrior ok, ill try that [04:37] RyanPrior, umm how can i check that? [04:37] sniffer help [04:37] please [04:37] blizzardman1219, [04:37] montpelie: what kind of sniffer do you need help with? [04:37] g0tcha1: I'm not sure, but there's been a major security flaw in ssh and so there's now a blacklist for insecure keys related to that flaw. [04:38] ethereal [04:38] blizzardman1219, i just came on, what are your issues, if i can help i will, but i am fairly new as well [04:38] montpelie: You need to be specific if you want to get a good answer. [04:38] montpelie: I think ethereal was repleced with wireshark [04:38] How do I disable the blinking cursor in gnome-terminal ? [04:39] oooh, -was specific :)- [04:39] i have installed my driver, and i can see it when i run ndiswrapper -l , but when i run iwconfig it says that i have no wireless extentsions, any ideas? [04:39] that's for a WG311v3 [04:39] blizzardman1219: Does network manager work? [04:39] pending answer though, sad, but okay, will wait :) [04:39] no [04:39] pitchforked: What is your question again? [04:40] wireshark, ok.. I'd like to get to know what sort of info will I be able to get while monitoring the network I've setup [04:40] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12359/ [04:40] montpelie: anything that passes through the network interface that you monitor [04:40] montpelie: You can get all the info. You can sniff every packet that passes. [04:40] as far as I know all I'll get will be tcpIP packets converted in ASCII code [04:40] ok, I see [04:40] blizzardman1219, what card do u have, what chipset? [04:40] can anyone help me with hardy and video on an ati x1600? [04:40] montpelie: You can get non-TCP packets as well, no problem. [04:41] Starnestommy, http://pastebin.com/m3c91387e thats the ssh_config [04:41] ok ryan I get it [04:41] it's a Netgear WG311v3, chipset is something with Marvell [04:41] g0tcha1: what about /etc/ssh/sshd_config ? [04:41] hey all, for some reason the latest kernel just doesnt work. doesnt load can someone help me out? [04:42] now, what is the process I should follow so I can convert the packets I get into useful info [04:42] I'm asking you this, because I dont really know how it works [04:42] bare with me [04:42] pitchforked: I don't know why the Wubi install failed - can you still boot into Windows? [04:42] blizzardman1219, look here yet? http://linux-wless.passys.nl/ [04:42] Starnestommy, one sec [04:42] yep, there now [04:43] montpelie: Perhaps you should google for a packet sniffing tutorial. There isn't really the place to get a primer. === phenom_ is now known as phenom|zZz [04:43] pitchforked: Have you tried uninstalling Wubi and trying again? [04:44] ok, so google for wireshark right??? [04:44] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1037680&postcount=5 <-- SeaPhor, i used that guide. i got to the command "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" but when i run iwconfig it doesn't list the wireless as being there [04:44] what is open box in noob terms? [04:44] bender1337: it is a window manager [04:44] nope, was hoping to see if there was a faster solution, but i will try, ty [04:45] is there a way to get into comps as the same router as you? with out knowing any info on that other comp? [04:45] Starnestommy: whats a windows manger and how is it differnet from gnome? [04:45] bender1337: openbox is a different window manager than gnome is. It looks different, acts slightly different, and uses less RAM [04:46] is there a way to get into comps as the same router as you? with out knowing any info on that other comp? [04:46] Starnestommy: can you still use gnome programs shuch as the GIMP? [04:47] Scifiguy951: you'll need to know its hostname or IP address [04:47] blizzardman1219: maybe something here to try?http://www.jimbo7.com/wiki/index.php?title=WG311v3_LINUX_WIKI [04:47] Starnestommy, heres sshd_config http://pastebin.com/m6a939b72 [04:47] bender1337: it can [04:47] blizzardman1219, ok modprobe is at 5, and iwconfig is 9, are you sure everything in between was done correctly, and without any errors? [04:47] g0tcha1: change the "Port" option from 512 to 22 [04:47] blizzardman1219: maybe something here to try? http://www.jimbo7.com/wiki/index.php?title=WG311v3_LINUX_WIKI [04:47] g0tcha1: then sudo invoke-rc.d ssh restart [04:47] i went on the pc an went to whatismy ip.com and got the sme thing as this pc said. how do i get its host name or ip [04:47] blizzardman1219, like what happened at 8? [04:48] SeaPhor, i did iwconfig afterward just to see if it recognized the card. it didn't, so i couldn't get to the things afterward. [04:48] after 5* [04:48] Starnestommy, ok, one sec [04:48] the ifconfig -a that it tells me to do after 5 doesn't work either [04:48] Scifiguy951: to get its LAN IP, you would need to go to that computer physically and get its IP, or you would need to start probing random IPs on your network [04:49] hey.. what licence do the images on ubuntu.com use? if i would like to use one of them... [04:49] how do i do that? [04:49] blizzardman1219, is this a desktop or laptop? [04:50] SeaPhor, a desktop [04:50] Starnestommy, it worked this time [04:50] ok, is this a pci card or a usb device [04:50] PCI card [04:50] guys 1 question, any good app I can use to scan a NTFS or vfat mounted partition for viruses [04:51] blizzardman1219, is this a card or usb device [04:51] Does anyone know how to execute a command after another even if the previous one doesn't close? I'm creating a shortcut to click on and am having it a.) mount a remote ftp b.) open a file manager afterward. But, I can't use curlftpfs ftpserv.local /mnt/ftpserv && nautilus since the output of curlftpfs might stay open. Any hints to an && alternative? I tried ||, but no love. [04:51] blizzardman1219, ok [04:51] how do i probe random ips on my network? [04:51] !licence [04:51] Factoid licence not found [04:52] Scifiguy951: nmap [04:52] or ubuntu? [04:52] run a lshw -C network and pastebin the result [04:52] for* [04:52] Scifiguy951: find out what your IP is. If it's soemthign like 192.168.1.123, ping everything between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254 [04:52] xsacha: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/licensing [04:52] how do i find my ip? [04:52] Scifiguy951: ifconfig [04:52] blizzardman1219, run a lshw -C network and pastebin the result [04:52] guys 1 question, any good app I can use to scan a NTFS or vfat mounted partition for viruses [04:52] thanks Stale [04:52] xsacha: I think that's where I read about it previously, hope it helps [04:53] montpelie: clamav [04:53] SeaPhor: can't really run anything at the current moment. i'm working on a computer that has internet. [04:53] in terminal? [04:53] Stale: im not sure if that extends to the website as well though. or, if they are only speaking about the distribution [04:53] Scifiguy951: yes [04:54] xsacha: I could have sworn it specified there but you're right, no specificity [04:54] blizzardman1219, ? [04:54] ah, wrong link xsacha: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy might be more clear [04:54] Starnestommy, so to change the port i have to do it from /etc/init.d/sshd_config not ssh_config? [04:54] g0tcha1: yes [04:55] thanks Stale [04:55] blizzardman1219, you have a wireless device that isn't working, right? [04:55] yes [04:55] np xsacha, googled "ubuntu trademark license" :) [04:55] how do i run ip config in term? [04:56] Firefox 3b5 has stopped reading MIME info on my Ubuntu system. Nothing is listed under Preferences > Applications. When opening a file, 'Save As..' is always selected and the open with option is blank. Is this a known bug? Anyone know of a fix? [04:56] Scifiguy951: type in "ifconfig" without the quotes then press the Enter key [04:56] c-ron: i had the same issue, I didn't find a specific bug, but i noticed that issue also [04:56] anyone from dubai? [04:57] So far I've deleted my ~/.mozilla directory to try and reset it, and also reinstalled firefox.. didn't work [04:57] nothing happens [04:57] blizzardman1219, so why cant you. run a lshw -C network and pastebin the result? [04:57] in terminal [04:57] nvm [04:57] Stale, are you still having that issue? [04:57] because i can't be on my Ubuntu PC right now, because it doesn't have internet [04:57] which one is my "ip" [04:58] Scifiguy951: the IP address for eth0 or wlan0 [04:58] c-ron sometimes. the settings seemed to stick for a few of the file types i download frequently so i didn't look into it much further. it's a bit sporadic, i'm assuming it will be fixed in the final version. [04:59] in Hardy: even though I run sudo nvidia-settings and save my xorg.conf with the high resolution...when I reboot the resolution reverts back to 1024x768 everytime. How do I fix this? [04:59] "eht0" isnt in there [04:59] nor wlan0 [04:59] c-ron there's an extension i d/l also to manually edit mime types in ff that helped. it's in the addons for FF [04:59] hi, is it possible to get support for mldonkey in this channel? [04:59] Scifiguy951: what is in there? [04:59] Stale, yeah I saw that.. I think I'll try it out. Thanks [05:00] blizzardman1219, ok, on that pc, open terminal and type that exactly, any chance you can hard wire it for a short time? [05:00] So, does anyone here know of an alternative to && and || for simultaneous or time delayed execution of shell apps? [05:00] where are the icons located in hardy? [05:01] Stale: what? [05:01] in Hardy: even though I run sudo nvidia-settings and save my xorg.conf with the high resolution...when I reboot the resolution reverts back to 1024x768 everytime. How do I fix this? [05:01] link endcap:ethernet hwaddr thats the first one [05:01] flannel: Does anyone know how to execute a command after another even if the previous one doesn't close? I'm creating a shortcut to click on and am having it a.) mount a remote ftp b.) open a file manager afterward. But, I can't use curlftpfs ftpserv.local /mnt/ftpserv && nautilus since the output of curlftpfs might stay open. Any hints to an && alternative? I tried ||, but no love. [05:01] anyone have any idea why I would get a user permission error when trying to >> appent to a file in a var directory as SUDO ; the directory has 755 permissions [05:01] any ideas? [05:01] ??? [05:01] SeaPhor: i won't be able to hardwire it. hey i really appreciate the help but i've got to go. thanks! i'll be back later to see if i can solve the issue [05:01] tesmar: what command are you using? [05:01] Hello, my guests on Vbox can't access internet, I use NAT, the NIC are detected, the links are up, but ifconfig on host system shows no vbox interfaces, how to? [05:02] anyone know why i've lost the sound in xubuntu? any ideas? [05:02] Stale: use & after the command, that'll keep it from taking up the console. You want ;, && and || are dependant on exit codes, ; runs all the time [05:02] ? [05:02] Scifiguy951: try "ifconfig eth0 | grep inet" or "ifconfig wlan0 | grep inet" [05:02] cat "sometext" >> myfile [05:02] ok [05:02] sudo ca [05:02] blizzardman1219, ok, [05:02] using sudo [05:02] phiqtion: /usr/share/icons [05:02] Flannel: aah, I'll try that. Many thanks! [05:02] hi, is it possible to get support for mldonkey in this channel? [05:02] tesmar: try cat "sometext" | sudo tee -a myfile [05:02] tesmar: cat somefile | sudo tee -a myfile [05:03] Hello, my guests on Vbox can't access internet, I use NAT, the NIC are detected, the links are up, but ifconfig on host system shows no vbox interfaces, how to? [05:03] JDSBlueDevl: if you're using it on ubuntu, yes [05:03] which one is my ip? [05:03] in Hardy: even though I run sudo nvidia-settings and save my xorg.conf with the high resolution...when I reboot the resolution reverts back to 1024x768 everytime. How do I fix this? [05:03] ? [05:03] Scifiguy951: please pastebin everything that the terminal says when you type in "ifconfig" [05:04] well, actually that was a siple example I made up but even fails [05:04] phiqtion: user/share/icons [05:04] no! [05:04] ok, good. I'm having trouble with it. It's giving me a "4662 port not reachable" message [05:04] the real command is this [05:04] openssl gendh 512 >> /var/certs/monit.pem [05:04] tesmar: openssl gendh 512 | sudo tee -a /var/certs/monit.pem [05:04] which number is it? [05:04] what is the difference? I mean, why does the first dail? [05:05] inet6 addr:?? [05:05] Are there rules against talking about pirated software in here? Oo [05:05] tesmar: because the sudo is on the first command (openssl) and then the >> is being done as a regular user [05:05] tesmar: because the >> command is being run as yourself, not root [05:05] ahhhh [05:05] !piracy [05:05] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [05:05] thanks!

I'm using utorrent on Ubuntu with wine. I deleted some files by clicking on "remove torrents and delete data" but I didn't free any space. I also emptied the deleted items folder but those files weren't there :S [05:43] j1solutions, me too... but i spent a lot on this box.. quad schmucks and stuff.. i'd sepuku if the cpu died tomorrow [05:43] yay, it's installed! [05:44] walkman79: why are you running utorrent in wine? [05:44] what does build-essential do, in a nutshell? [05:44] thats silly [05:44] White^Knight, install the envy program: sudo apt-get install envyng-core [05:44] Zeker_, it allows you to compile from source code [05:44] bye everyone! [05:44] walkman79: the space is there if you reboot [05:44] Zeker_: it installs gcc and some libraries, utilities, and headers for compiling things [05:44] White^Knight, run it thru the text interface, sudo envyng -t [05:44] White^Knight, ok, look at System>Administration>Hardware Drivers [05:44] I rebooted [05:45] nothing changed [05:45] does any1 knows what is make checkconfigure? [05:45] oh - that happens here is all [05:45] sbj9000, thank you but don't the EDI's available already come with a built-in compiler? Why would it need these? [05:45] neto: it wasn't your last dollar, was it? : ) [05:45] i get my space [05:45] Check the config file to make sure nothing has changed in system setup [05:45] PreToRiAnZ: what program are you trying to build? [05:45] Zeker_: you dont need an IDE for c [05:45] asterisk [05:45] I think it is a bug in wine... [05:45] White^Knight, what shows there? [05:45] White^Knight, select option 5 to manually install, 2 for nvidia drivers, 3 for 71.86.04 (legacy) driver [05:46] PreToRiAnZ: I think it just checks configuration settings [05:46] White^Knight, in that order [05:46] c-ron: ok, i'm installing the evying-core program now [05:46] j1solutions, sorta ;) ... are there any USB sound cards that really work? [05:46] i can't boot windows because of an NTLDR error [05:46] ok, y'all are goin a little quick for me :) [05:46] neto: never tried one [05:46] guess i should check the website [05:46] c-ron if its being read incorrectly by kernel thrugh bios settings, it started 3h ago, and if its partitioned wrong its started 3h ago, I counted the space with MC(with directory sizes) and with du, and the missing space is the same as the deleted log file [05:46] jeebusroxors, I understand that all you really need is a text editor with syntax highlighting right? But I'm not that hardcore haha i need something with a debugger =P maybe someday I'll reach that level? Or should I begin that way? [05:47] i know, but i cant do the checkconfigure at the CLI [05:47] can someone tll me how to blackhole an ip address? === _Wiseguy is now known as Wiseguy === danny is now known as dannyeff === dannyeff is now known as dannyobrien [05:47] Loop|t_a|, what? how does a deleted file have any size???? [05:47] neto: little labels that will void warranty? do they really enforce that stuff? [05:47] Zeker_: *shrug* [05:47] c-ron you didnt understood [05:47] do what you want i spose, your compile will fail if your code sucks and you debug from there [05:47] I had 270gb of free space 4h ago [05:48] 3h ago I saw that apache error.log started to crazy [05:48] PreToRiAnZ: what are you trying to do on asterisk? [05:48] j1solutions, worse... yellow wax everywhere... the kind of color you cant find anywhere [05:48] what do you guys think, EDI to begin with, or should I man-up and use separate components? =P [05:48] neto: you are a tinkerer. be true to yourself. tinker. I was an auto mechanic for 20 years. my rule: if there is tamper protection on something, it need adjusting [05:48] and 2h ago I saw that I have zero space [05:48] and then I saw the error.log was 250gb [05:48] heh [05:49] jeebusroxors, for telephony purposes [05:49] I deleted that file but I didnt get free space any free space [05:49] Zeker_: ive never seen, or heard of, or cared to hear of an IDE [05:49] Loop|t_a|: have you restarted apache2 after deleting the log? [05:49] Loop|t_a|, did you stop apache, delete and reboot? [05:49] no I didnt [05:49] PreToRiAnZ: obviously [05:49] its a ubuntu server [05:49] jeebusroxors, that's cuz you're an elitist robot from what it sounds like haha [05:49] its onlyne [05:49] Loop|t_a|: restart apache [05:49] 'ello [05:49] online* [05:49] neto: i found yellow wax in my ear one day, but thats another story... [05:49] ok I will [05:50] I bet you think in binary [05:50] jeebusroxors, so are u familiar with asterisk?? [05:50] <--- dreams of one day thinking in binary [05:50] How do you uninstall something in linux? [05:50] Zeker_: what is the point of your ide? [05:50] ok, i tried installing that envying-core program, and it couldn't find the package [05:50] asterisk was a gull [05:50] Fath[0]m: with synaptic [05:51] PreToRiAnZ: ive had an asterisk box up for a few years [05:51] j1solutions, could you ship me some? maybe it will do the trick [05:51] neto: 10 dollars an ounce [05:51] 10 dollars an ounce? [05:51] It's not even that cheap in Canada! [05:52] Wols_: what if I dont see it in there? [05:52] damn that's like 10x less than i pay [05:52] jeebusroxors, im new to asterisk [05:52] Jeebusroxors, I have no idea how to work with separate components. I figure its faster if they're all in one spot. In fact, sadly, i don't really know much about IDE's... like I said, I just started learning c/c++ yesterday! [05:52] j1solutions, hmmm.. guess i wont be cleaning my ears for the next months then [05:52] Fath[0]m: Did you compile from source? [05:52] Fath[0]m: then you haven't installed it as a .deb package in ubuntu and is OT here [05:52] Zeker_: so go google c tutorial [05:53] It uses wine [05:53] neto: disable the sound in BIOS, reboot to ubuntu, enable the sound in BIOS and boot again (didja try that?) [05:53] Fath[0]m: totally OT then [05:53] PreToRiAnZ: do you need help with something? [05:53] is there a chan on this server that focuses on c/c++? [05:53] is Ubuntard a word? [05:53] Hi everyone, how can I burn an iso from the command line? [05:53] and as far as the System>Administration>Hardware Drivers, i'm runnin kde, and the closest thing that i can find for that is KInfoCenter [05:54] c-ron, if it's not you just coined it XD [05:54] j1solutions, i would try that with Windows... [05:54] is there any way to return Ubuntu from scratch?. I mean, restore to a fresh OS with the basic software and delete all the files. I don't have physical access though [05:54] c-ron: yes [05:54] * c-ron sleeps easily tonight! [05:54] Loop|t_a|: with cdrecord/wodim [05:54] I have a ATI radeon HD 2600 card, and the fglrx drivers don't seem to work. I've scoured the forums and google for answers, and no one seems to have one. Anyone in here know anything different? [05:54] that you, sett jeebus [05:54] one of my harddrives failed and it seems to be the one with /home on it [05:54] lamalex: with cdrecord/wodim [05:54] Zeker_: there probably is, but you wont get far asking questions that can be answered with google [05:55] lamalex: do you have a backup? [05:55] wols_: ok, but I need usage [05:55] wols_: yeah [05:55] and it doesn't list anything in there for my nvidia card (but it's tryin to say that it is an agp card, and i don't think it is [05:55] c-ron and wols thanks I restarted apache and the space is back [05:55] man wodim [05:55] wols_: but I was about to do an install of hardy anyway, I need to burn the iso :P [05:55] Loop|t_a|, sweet [05:55] wodim is easier than cdrecord I assume? [05:55] case solved === favfro is now known as favro [05:56] Hardy rocks on 3 out of 4 of my machines surveyed [05:56] of course i need help jeebusroxors, are u using the asterisk book? [05:56] I have a ATI radeon HD 2600 card, and the fglrx drivers don't seem to work. I've scoured the forums and google for answers, and no one seems to have one. Anyone in here know anything different? [05:56] SeaPhor: ? what next? [05:56] yes always stop services and programs before btchslapping their files [05:56] wow [05:56] PreToRiAnZ: no... [05:56] jeebusroxors, so how do u do it?? [05:57] PreToRiAnZ: do what? [05:57] White^Knight, is it enabled? [05:57] dcarr, envy installs ATI drivers. have you tried it? [05:57] what do you need help with? [05:57] installing GUI for Asterisk.. [05:57] i would think so, i can see things on my screen :) [05:57] but there is nothing in any of the tabs [05:58] who using mirc [05:58] O_O [05:58] PuMaHackeR, HAHAH [05:58] PreToRiAnZ: im not sure there is a GUI, there are a few web frontends [05:58] PuMaHackeR: um...theres someone using utorrent in wine... [05:58] what :D [05:58] White^Knight, in the menu, does it say its enabled and in use? [05:58] PuMaHackeR, sorry.. i use mIRC when forced into using windows [05:58] wols_: Do you know which options to use for an iso? [05:58] -raw? [05:59] c-ron: =) [05:59] in the KInfoCenter? [05:59] that what i mean jeebusroxors GUI using web base === biff is now known as bic [05:59] White^Knight, yes [05:59] PreToRiAnZ: did you read the install docs? [06:00] damn toughbook, don't make me download puppy linux [06:00] has anyone else had problems running apt-get purge roommate-couch ? [06:00] c-ron: r u livin in Michigan, Harbor Springs ?O_O [06:00] in the main menu, it just has a list, and to the right of that, are the clickable links that show each of those links... one of the links is nvidia, but when i click on that, there is no information in any of the 4 tabs across the top of the box [06:00] PuMaHackeR, I'm in alden [06:01] c-ron, lol,,,, [06:01] * White^Knight doesn't have a roommate :) [06:02] i already installed it... [06:02] who own this server? [06:02] PreToRiAnZ: so whats the problem [06:02] PuMaHackeR, freenode? [06:03] /join #ubuntu-programming [06:03] whops sorry [06:03] http://freenode.net/index.shtml [06:03] ok, i'm gonna try to fix this tomorrow [06:03] * PuMaHackeR O_O [06:03] it's too late here, and i'm beat [06:04] nite all [06:04] White^Knight, wait, you did the envy thing ?? i cant help you, i left all envy and dont know how, i'd check with whoever told you to do envy [06:04] w00t is horrible for my checking account.. just bought another impulse buy :( [06:04] can wine be toggled off and on? [06:04] White^Knight, g'night [06:04] hmm.. how can i say this?? i cannot log onto the addrs of the web base gui for the asterisk server IP add [06:05] White^Knight, run envyng thru the TEXT interface [06:05] White^Knight, envyng -t [06:05] SeaPhor: i tried to apt-get install envying but it couldn't find the program [06:05] PreToRiAnZ: ok, so you can ping the server right? [06:05] can anyone recommend a really stellar flashcard program? [06:05] next step is to make sure apache is running [06:05] the one already in the repositories isn't good enough [06:05] and it was apt-get install envying-core [06:06] White^Knight, i dont do ANY envy, and i do well! [06:06] how can i use su command in ubuntu? [06:06] White^Knight, no "I" in there [06:06] White^Knight, it's envyng [06:06] msshams: su -s [06:06] no jeebusroxors [06:06] White^Knight, not envying [06:07] ok, that found it :D [06:07] it's installing it now [06:07] c-ron: am i gonna have to close out of the window manager, or can i just use a terminal to do this? [06:08] White^Knight, type the first few letters of who you are talking to,, and hit tab till their name comes up, that will make it easier for us to communicate [06:08] White^Knight, terminal should be fine, but changes won't kick in until next x restart [06:08] c-ron: ok [06:08] PreToRiAnZ: no? [06:08] nope [06:08] SeaPhor: sorry :) [06:09] Is there no way to uninstall pulse in hardy? It's broken and should not be here. [06:09] White^Knight, np [06:09] PreToRiAnZ: no what? [06:09] unknown host [06:09] c-ron: ok, envyng installed, now what was that next step? [06:09] ok [06:09] so that would be a problem huh? [06:10] uytu\\ [06:10] White^Knight, run sudo envyng -t === zak2 is now known as llama32 === PuMaHackeR is now known as CR[a]ZY|BoY| [06:10] White^Knight, then pick option 5 to manually install, then option 1 to install ATI drivers [06:11] c-ron: instead of the nvidia drivers? [06:11] White^Knight, wait.. which do you have ? :) [06:11] c-ron: i have an nividia tnt card [06:12] White^Knight, sorry sleep dep :) choose 2 for nvidia, then 3 for legacy [06:12] c-ron: i know all about the sleep dep... i am too :) [06:13] Hello. My sound seems to have stopped working altogether, even though it was on the last boot. Does anyone have suggestions? [06:13] does anyone know of a good playstation 3 linux channel? excluding ps3linux? [06:14] Keo_Kyzuki, make sure your sound isn't muted or something [06:14] c-ron: it's removing the nvidia-glx-legacy that is already installed on my system now... is it suppossed to do that? [06:14] is AIR (adobe thing) available on ubuntu (or linux at all?) [06:15] Keo_Kyzuki, you might also consider a hearing aid [06:15] White^Knight, yes. [06:15] Keo_Kyzuki: have u released the factory installed smoke in the speakers? [06:15] c-ron, thanks for the smart response. The sound isn't muted, I've made sure of that. [06:16] whenever I type in google.com into fire fox in hardy its bringing me to Govt of india homepage [06:16] Keo_Kyzuki, check to make sure that your sound card is getting a kernel module loaded for it.. lsmod | grep snd [06:16] Fath[0]m: whoa! lol [06:17] yea [06:17] really weird [06:17] Fath[0]m: i've never even heard of any browser doing that before :D [06:17] Fath[0]m, your DNS server or proxy is doing it [06:17] http://www.drdo.com/labs/cair/index.html [06:17] Fath[0]m: try www.google.com.us [06:17] hey guys when i start my laptop it says "your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly" i have an intel 945 [06:18] thats where its bringing me [06:18] c-ron, not sure what the default is for an nvidia chipset, but I see that the snd-hda-intel module is loaded. [06:18] r u supporting hardy in this room?? [06:18] c-ron: sorry for my lack of faith... it's puttin some new programs in there instead :D [06:18] if I type in www.google.com it brings me to the right place [06:18] Talon218: yes [06:18] but if I type in just google.com it brings me here http://www.drdo.com/labs/cair/index.html [06:18] hello, I've just noticed a problem with my new heron installation. Certain games and screensavers flicker. Would that be a problem with DGA? How could I determine which part of X is having this flickering problem? Btw, I'm using ATI's Radeon driver. [06:19] okay hardy isn't picking up my ATA hard drive [06:19] my wireless was working perfectly earlier,theen while browsing the internet it cut out and now I cant connect through my router yet my wireless blue light is still on [06:19] what extra information do you want to know [06:19] macguges try temporary disabling compiz [06:19] Keo_Kyzuki, the snd-hda-intel module usually requires an extra parameter to work ... see http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=58&topic=26204.0;wap2 [06:20] d[X_X]b: ok [06:20] macgues: Might be drivers [06:20] if it is try envy [06:21] c-ron: ok, restart time? [06:21] White^Knight, yup [06:21] what the hell.. how do you shorted 'does not' ... doesn't ?? [06:21] c-ron, yes, because pclinuxos is exactly like Ubuntu. (Psst, by the way: modprobe.conf isn't in just /etc/.) [06:21] c-ron: i'll brb if everything worked like it's suppossed to :) [06:22] * White^Knight crosses fingers and reboots [06:22] hey can someone help me? i have hardy and out of nowhere it started to say this when i boot up "hey guys when i start my laptop it says "your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly" [06:22] i'm creating a seperate partition for my /boot directory, how big does it need to be? [06:23] markers: started to say what? [06:23] hotmonkeyluv: standby, I'll see how big mine is [06:23] "your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly" [06:23] Myrtti: cool [06:23] hotmonkeyluv: /dev/sda1 236M 25M 199M 12% /boot [06:23] Keo_Kyzuki, yes module confs are a pain in the ass to locate [06:23] Myrtti: so, about 250mb? [06:24] wait - compiz is heron's window manager? Which window manager is recommended if I don't use compiz? [06:24] David unplug you router power cord for 20 seconds then plug it back in, sometimes it is good to let it reboot it self..works for me when that happens [06:24] Myrtti: or is that 25mb? [06:24] cause it doesn't seem like it needs to hold a whole bunch [06:24] Keo_Kyzuki, /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [06:24] hotmonkeyluv: yeah, mine is 236, and that's what the alternative installer suggests when you choose to do a "encrypted on LVM" installation [06:25] hardy isn't picking up my Seagate ATA drive, in gutsy the drive is recognized on scsi0. During hardy's boot and within logs i notice a failure to recognize the UUID [06:25] hotmonkeyluv: (that was an output of 'df -h') [06:25] hotmonkeyluv: 100mb is ok for /boot [06:25] how do you like that lvm fancy stuff? [06:25] hotmonkeyluv: I don't have a choice really, company policy that I have to have all my harddrives xcept /boot encrypted [06:26] favro: I was thinking of between 50 and 250mb, just in case I need to hide something in there ;) [06:26] hotmonkeyluv: wfm [06:26] Myrtti: do you have any ideas what i should do about this "your screen and graphics card could not be detected correctly" [06:26] Myrtti: is there a performance hit? [06:26] hotmonkeyluv: not that I've noticed [06:26] hotmonkeyluv: then again, I don't notice those things that much [06:27] how do i do a bios update in ubuntu? [06:27] Do anyone have any ideas on why hardy won't pick up a scsi [06:27] Myrtti: what sort of work do you do? [06:27] /boot doesn't need to be all that big unless you have multiple kernels [06:27] markers: do you have a desktop installation cd nearby? [06:27] yes [06:27] c-ron: I plan to have sever [06:27] c-ron: *several [06:27] hotmonkeyluv: software development, currently working on LaTeX [06:27] Myrtti: what's that? [06:27] !latex [06:27] tex is a language for describing a document, commonly used especially for scientific publishing. Information and instructions for installing TeX and other related packages can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LaTeX [06:28] hotmonkeyluv, servers should be okay, unless you have multiple kerenls [06:28] markers: pop one in, reboot your computer, see if it detects the settings right [06:28] hotmonkeyluv, each kernel can take up 10+ megs [06:28] bios has nothing to do with the os, to update the bios you have to flash it [06:28] hotmonkeyluv: LaTeX is king for typesetting [06:28] c-ron: well, that's not to bad, I can have 20 kernels then [06:29] forget OpenOffice [06:29] Or MS Word [06:29] <[T]an2> anyone know how to make the vpn manager in the gnome networkmanager not change my dns server in resolv.conf? [06:29] I've got pheonix awardBIOS on an hp 700, and i was wondering how to flash the bios on ubuntu [06:29] hotmonkeyluv, if you need 20 kernels, you have what they call 'special needs' [06:29] but we knew that... [06:29] c-ron: other than glxgears, is there any other test to make sure that my glx is workin right? :D [06:29] mike_: Not the best idea - use a floppy drive [06:29] Hey I need help with setting my dvd read speed to be faster using sdparm/hdparm, It's clocked at like 300mb/s using hdparm -Tt command. [06:29] * hotmonkeyluv 's mommy says' he's special [06:30] White^Knight, try a sweet assed GL screen saver? or install alien arena [06:30] Hi all [06:30] c-ron: oh, and so far, so good :) [06:30] Cpudan80: dont have a drive lol [06:30] can anyone tell me how i can install .tgz software packages? [06:30] it's on my desktop right now [06:30] I just lost my audio completely. No program will play audio. I tried killing pulseaudio and starting it back up. No help. I think that rebooting it would probably fix it but I don't want to try that unless nobody has any other suggestions. Does anyone have any ideas? TIA [06:30] mike_: Look at BartPE [06:31] joanki2, tar gx something.tar.gz [06:31] mike_: It's a bootable windows install so you could load the flashing prog IIRC [06:31] type alsamixer in terminal and play with the channels and their volumes, see if they are blocked [06:31] joanki2, then nano README [06:31] mike_: im not aware of a reliable way of flashing the BIOS from ubuntu [06:31] hmmm [06:31] mike_: Which begs the question, why are you flashing the bios? [06:32] miickee: Were you talking to me? Everything in the mixer responds to input.... [06:32] flashing the bios is best achieved with a trenchcoat [06:32] well, i guess what im trying to figure out is if there is a way to open my options for adjusting clock speeds etc [06:32] Cpudan80, u dont flash bios from os,,, [06:32] i might be way off... [06:32] thegeek: Yeah, well I had that problem and I fixed it using a lot of different methods. [06:32] ....Oh? [06:32] flash it from a bootup cd? [06:32] Go to www.ubuntuforums.com and go to Video and Multimedia forum, and the sticky at the top dedicated to sound will help a lot [06:32] miickee: Okay, thanks [06:33] fsck [06:33] !who [06:33] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:33] oops! [06:33] !tab [06:33] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [06:33] shut the fu ubottu [06:33] SeaPhor: Wrong [06:33] SeaPhor: You can flash the bios from specific utilities in windows [06:33] SeaPhor: Now, that isnt the preferred way to do it... but it does work [06:33] c-ron: mind your language [06:33] Cpudan80: so is there another way to open up the clocking options in my bios? [06:33] I am having trouble: fdisk -l shows /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc as recognized drives. df -h -a shows that root is running off of /dev/hda. I should have 5 drives total. what can I do to get my drives back? running gutsy. [06:34] Cpudan80: but its better to flash from bootup and the like... [06:34] c-ron, being rude to the bot makes you look dumb. Being rude to people gets you kicked. Your call. [06:34] friedtofu: most definitely [06:34] some people have no sense of humor [06:34] mike_: Some bios have an advanced thing you can turn on - what kind of mobo is it?

I finally find out what is it downloading, by using the software you recommended. [06:35] Myrtti, btw i have not used any offense language, in case you didn't notice [06:35] miickee: This seems like it's more helpful for people who NEVER had audio working....talking about drivers, and enabling integrated adapters in the BIOS, and stuff [06:35] SeaPhor: there are now programs you can download that do the bios flash for you, it just restarts your computer and flashes [06:35] miickee: But I have had no problem with sound in the past, and just a few seconds ago I lost it out of nowhere [06:35] mike_: dont know much about MSI --- are you sure you cant just enable it directly (without flashing)? [06:35] seaphor: i just did it to my lappy [06:35] c-ron: in case you didn't notice, you used an acronym that contained offensive language [06:35] c-ron: which is basically the same thing. === Jabopz is now known as Jabop [06:36] Cpudan80: i couldnt see a way inside the bios.. is there a particular place i should look? [06:36] Myrtti, in case you didn't notice.. acronyms don't mean anything unless you know what they stand for [06:36] thegeek:Restarted your pc? Gone to System > Preferences > Sound and put all to pulseaudio or alsa? [06:36] c-ron: right. [06:36] Myrtti, right. [06:36] mike_: with Award, it;s usuall Del on startup to access the BIOS [06:37] so fsck ubottu [06:37] mike_, (sorry bro, was a joke) I work for HP testing Bios and firmware, the other guy is clueless [06:37] miickee: Okay, I just switched it all to ALSA....seems to fix it. So do you think it's just some bug in pulseaudio? === Jaie___ is now known as Jaie [06:37] Do anyone have any ideas on why hardy won't pick up an ata hd. dmesg reports a failed to Identify io error. any ideas??

[06:38] c-ron: remember what I told you though [06:38] pulseaudio isn't ready for primetime, no matter how hard the big distros try and push it. [06:38] mike_: Those are the BIOS menu options that have overclock stuff beneath them [06:38] Myrtti: i dont know what happened but after i rebooted with the cd everything is back to normal. thank you for your help [06:38] Hey guys, for some reason, when I'm watching a video on compiz fudion and I go into the cube thing or "wobble" the window, the video doesent go aloung with it, it just goes black or it keeps playing but doesent distort and move with the effects like it use to. how do i fix this? [06:38] Cpudan80: yes, but i have an oem bios, which doesnt have those options available by default [06:39] markers: it's only temporary [06:39] mike_: I see... [06:39] mike_: then you probably can't magically enable them [06:39] Myrtti, o i know. cause all those PG kids are using linux late on school night.. best not corrupt their young christian minds [06:39] markers: when you take the cd out, you'll probably end up in the same situation [06:39] c-ron: when i tried to run a gl screen saver (fireworks), it completely froze my system [06:39] mike_: Flashing an OEM board with non OEM stuff = bad idea [06:39] c-ron, lay off. This is an extremely international channel, it isn't late night everywhere... [06:39] it may change the signatures of the board which would mean licensing hell for windows [06:39] my wireless was working perfect earlier then cut out while browsing the internet for no apparent reason...now its telling me that network interface doesnt exists,please help!!! [06:40] and maybe some bad things in Ubuntu [06:40] You can *sometimes* flash an OEM board with the BIOS version of its desktop counterpart (if one exists) but it's by no means 100% certain === elpargo_ is now known as elpargo [06:40] s/desktop/retail [06:40] Madpilot, yes and all those international kiddies are so up on the acronym lingo.... [06:40] Myrtti: well i took the cd out and rebooted again a second time without the cd in the drive and right now everything is working as it was when i first installed hardy [06:40] david__--: Try ifconfig wlan0 up [06:40] c-ron: there are known users of Ubuntu of 8 year olds, off different cultures, different backgrounds, so we ask our users not to use offensive language [06:41] c-ron, drop it. You're pushing... [06:41] david__--: sudo ifconfig up [06:41] markers: funky! [06:41] Myrtti, don't censor me. i didn't say anything. [06:41] Cpudan80: yea that's what i figured, its just sucky not being able to edit anything, and i couldn't figure out if there was a way to open up more options [06:41] Myrtti: thats what im saying. thanks for the help Myrtti [06:41] c-ron: I'm trying to explain this to you so you don't run into trouble [06:41] Madpilot, agreed. I'll stop. [06:41] Opethian:no such device :( [06:41] mike_: AMD or intel ? [06:41] Cpudan80: Intel [06:42] P4 2.26 [06:42] markers: no prob, stay on the channel in return to help others with their problems :-) [06:42] c-ron: when i tried to run a gl screen saver (fireworks), it completely froze my system and i had to do a hard reboot [06:42] mike_: hrm so much for my idea then [06:42] White^Knight, do you see now why i said what i did? [06:42] mike_: AMD has a windows tool that will allow you to overclock... [06:42] mike_: maybe intel has something similar ? [06:42] SeaPhor: said what? [06:42] White^Knight, that could be a number of things..... try another app that uses GL [06:42] Cpudan80: lol think there's an ubuntu counterpart? [06:42] Myrtti: i would but im very new and trying to learn everything from scratch on my own so i dont think i would be much help to anyone :-( [06:42] mike_: Ehhhh [06:42] !overclock [06:42] Factoid overclock not found [06:43] :-( [06:43] Hi, I'm wondering if anybody can advise me on something. I'm trying to burn Ubuntu to a cd, but I guess it's 5 gigs too big. I've never used Windows before, so I'm sort of confused. The CD says it's 702, but also that it's 696, and Ubuntu says it is 699. IS there a way to reconcile these? [06:43] markers: that's how I started [06:43] Cpudan80: i guess ill take a look around [06:43] Thanks. [06:43] Why the hell do you want to overclock a laptop? And a P4-based one at that? [06:43] mike_: FYI P4s run very hot -- be careful when you crank them up [06:43] White^Knight, nothing, watch yourself, be careful [06:43] markers: now, after three years I work in an open source software development company, working from home [06:43] If anything, you want to _underclock_ those [06:43] Myrtti, anyone using IRC is already in trouble :P [06:43] opethian:still saying that the interface doesnt exist [06:43] Gah! [06:43] markers: stick around and you'll learn new things [06:43] A laptop! [06:43] SeaPhor: about using envyng? [06:43] it was working perfect,i dont see why it quit [06:44] No don't overclock a laptop! Good grief you wont be able to put it on your lap [06:44] is there a difference between grub and lilo's OS-finding abilities when you install them [06:44] david__--: Which card is it?

[06:45] that is good [06:45] SQLAlchemy [06:45] Opethian:Im still fairly new to linux andj have figured out a lot so far,but the commands and such are still new especially when it comes to wireless,is that all I type in? modprobe -r? [06:46] Cpudan80: so im not trying to squezze much out of it, just alittle boost might be nice [06:46] Cpudan80: i really just want to have the ability to do it haha [06:46] Who can tell me how to install fetion on the ubuntu 8.04 [06:46] yeah I dunno mike_ - sorry [06:46] anyway [06:46] time for bed [06:46] david__--, modprobe -r followed by your wireless card's module.

Error 17 points to a problem addressing the disk grub resides on [07:40] buntu .. system->administration->software sources [07:40] jobless: if i uncheck it it will change the repositores settings right? [07:40] grub resides on the XP disk i guess [07:40] but should boot the Ubuntu one [07:40] Kazuma: are the OS's on two different physical drives?

[07:43] !root | robert__ [07:43] robert__: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:43] when you did the install, on the last page before you finalized, did you check where the install loaded grub?

[07:44] Nautilus is starting to act strangely for me on Gutsy. When i open my home folder it sometimes says "the folder contents can not be displayed". If I close and re-open they're displayed fine. Sometimes it refuses to open a file. If I close and reopen nautilus this sometimes fixes it. But other times I have to log out. This is all sporadic, but seemingly happening more often. [07:44] Kazuma: if error 17 happens, it happens before menu.lst is read, menu.lst is irrelevant [07:44] jobless: ok thanks never mind... [07:44] buntu: I told you [07:45] I'm trying to configure my KDE4 panel (using kubuntu 8.0.4) but apparently "The Specified library kicker could not be found", any help? [07:45] wols_: srsly?

Is there some way to get rid of just the colon in each filename, or something like that? [07:45] where stage1 is on sda and the rest on sdb1 [07:46] err, that's ( : ) [07:46] sexcopter: mass renaming [07:46] ok buntu .. this what wols_ said .. sudo apt-get install checkinstall [07:46] check the renametools package [07:46] wols_: I'll have a look, thanks [07:46] MikeCulver: menu.lst shows everything correctly [07:47] even XP is listed there [07:47] jobless: i have a question what would be the first to install the "configure" or the install?

As for sound, integrated audio on most boards is well supported. For wireless, Atheros=based cards are probably the best bet. And for motherboards/chipsets, Intel is usually the safe bet. Just watch out for the secodary PATA controllers on modern Intel-based boards, go SATA if you can [08:06] buntu, what are you trying to do? [08:06] ok im in [08:06] buntu: build-essential is used during checkinstall, and yes, checkinstall is the recommended method [08:06] on shortcut key setups [08:06] Bodsda: installing the software [08:06] yit41, dunno -- run it from terminal to check for errors though === narg_ is now known as narg [08:06] buntu: which software exactly?

[08:08] Flannel, but you can just delete the source ?? isnt that just as easy?

[08:09] is it for creating deb packages [08:09] ??? [08:09] Flannel, ah,. thats where my knowledge is lacking -- cheers was tryin to work out why makin it a deb was usefull -- cheers dude [08:09] White^Knight: no, they both use a common underlying library, neither uses the other [08:09] i wonder how can I turn on the fn functions since this are very important for me [08:09] please someone help me, i installed vista and now i can boot ubuntu, how do you fix this? i'm on ubuntu live cd now [08:10] whuut, do you mean 'cant' boot?

X windows needs to be stopped before installing video driver [09:09] Can anyone help me install an odd tarball that I can't seem to get working? [09:09] i just installed some nvidia driver glx-new or whatever, and it asked me to restart [09:09] whats the problem cypha ?

[09:10] msolisch, using lacking.latin[(a_t)]gmail.com [09:10] are you using gnome or kde Darth_Gimp [09:10] boomshakalaka: It's a timeout-based thing, if an app doesn't appear to be responding within a certain time period compiz will make them grey. As soon as they start responding again, they'll get restored [09:10] Chapai: Gnome [09:10] pvh_sa|wrk: they will grey out....keep working and finish but not ungrey [09:10] boomshakalaka, you might want to run "vmstat 1" in a terminal window to keep an eye on what apps are blocking for... [09:11] i'm trying to burn a cd with brasero but it doesn't work... it says that i need to use a blank cd (which i actually did...) [09:11] anyone has an idea?

[09:11] do you have extra visual effects enabled Darth_Gimp [09:11] Chapai: yes [09:12] If they aren't un-greying when teh apps starts responding again then that is a proble, yes [09:12] mgolisch, does that mean it's ano?

That's normal [09:14] i did that dracoZA [09:14] DracoZA: Do you know what the direct link for that is?

I recommend every one to try it out. it cuts the cpu usage from 70% to 20% :-) [09:17] cypha under hardware drivers do you have nvidia listed ? [09:17] yrjokin: You can google ubuntu [09:17] linsejko: i guess you just extract that thing somewhere and start foundationStone.sh [09:17] LSD|Ninja: the screen will whiten back if I open firefox full screen [09:17] leonbrussels: ok [09:17] mgolisch, I tried that.

[09:18] linsejko: and? what error do you get? [09:18] fanch then join the channel #ubuntu-irc [09:18] I never said or did anything there...

That also got dropped but I'm less anoyed with that since it was pretty shicking anyway. [09:19] linsejko: you need to install a java runtime environment [09:19] it's a proprietary driver [09:19] man I still cant access my windows shared folder in Ubuntu [09:19] linsejko: the sun jre might be best [09:20] LSD|Ninja, DracoZA, any idea what i should do? [09:20] mgolisch, does it look like it should work otherwise? [09:20] Is that a particularly weird application setup, or is this normal just not as common? [09:20] linsejko: its written in java it wont work without a java runtime environemtn installed [09:20] im trying to /msg ubottu. he's not answering :( [09:20] just install the sun jre package [09:21] search in synamptic [09:21] synaptic [09:21] mgolisch, I'm pretty sure I have a jre... [09:21] and that it is sun. [09:21] LSD|Ninja: I'm also wondering how these apps could not be responding. I'm not running anything intensive on this 2ghz machine with a gig of ram [09:22] xtc [09:22] mgolisch, how do I tell if I have jre/ what do I do to install it? [09:23] linsejko: through synaptic. use the search function and see if the package's checkbox has green fill-up [09:23] Where could I download Fiesty Fawn? [09:23] okkk, i fixed my resolution [09:23] <_eMaX_> hi all [09:24] boomshakalaka: I think you're referring to a different effect. When an app is not responding, compiz will grey that app window and nothing else. The greying of teh background when it pops up a UAC - sorry - sudo prompt is something different. Either way, it should return to normal once it's not needed. Definitely sounds like a bug what you're having. Could be video-driver related, but I'm not sure [09:24] but my mouse still can't scroll [09:24] why cant ubuntu remember my WPA2 password like windows does [09:24] Agnostic: why would you want feisty?

[09:24] TOPSECRET, it can; what are you doing wrong [09:24] why would this happen ? [09:24] babola1, I am looking at the differences in OS. [09:24] <_eMaX_> is there a way to improve the preview in nautilus - if I want to increase like the size of a preview of PDFs, I can hit Ctrl+, but it doesn't render it better, just zooms in [09:24] TOPSECRET: it saves my WPA1 password, WPA2 shjouldn't be too much different. Are you remembering to tick the "Save in keychain" bix? [09:24] babola1, I am attempting to look at ubuntu from its earliest stages of development. [09:24] it changes the box to wpa1 and deletes the password [09:24] LSD|Ninja: ok thx [09:25] there is no save in keychain box [09:25] Hi All, Is there some way I can make an application in Ubuntu full screen? This was pretty straight forward in Kubuntu [09:25] Wallgod f11 usually works [09:25] i go into the network panel in configuration [09:26] *administration [09:26] Agnostic: oh. Google might help. just a tip, every release, there's a ReleaseNote. Check each one [09:26] rhydar__, isnt that only for firefox? for example it did not work in the XChat window [09:26] I was hoping someone in here would know where to get the earlier versions. [09:26] i want to update from 6.06 LTS to 8.04LTS. I followed the guidelines on the upgrade page but i dont get the question.... Any suggestions??? [09:27] \q [09:27] Agnostic: you mean you want the actual installation files? [09:27] Hi there, i am looking for somebody that can help me 1-1 set up samba, im having difficulty (and yes i have searched web guides first) [09:27] babola1, Yes. I want to install the early versions of ubuntu on my old system. [09:27] Agnostic: here, then -->www.old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [09:27] Frostex, best place for that is #samba [09:27] dppd: when a new release is available then update manager should tell you as much [09:27] babola1, Okay thank you. [09:27] thanks baz [09:28] LSD|Ninja: It doesn't... ;-( [09:28] hi all, anyone knows a screenshot capture tool that can capture a screen with scroll down? [09:28] babola1, Thats exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much. [09:28] mgolisch, downloading jre... [09:28] why cant ubuntu remember my WPA2 password like windows does [09:28] !screencast | ari_stress [09:28] ari_stress: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [09:28] TOPSECRET: you asked that like five minutes ago [09:29] How to make a app window like for eg. GEdit full screen in Ubuntu [09:29] TOPSECRET, set it in the command line [09:29] then it would remember [09:29] ? [09:29] TOPSECRET: hidden SSID? [09:29] Am I correct in understanding that Debian's openssh vulnerability requires an attacker to first have a copy of a users public key ? [09:29] Anybody in here famaliar with DVDFab? [09:29] it is open SSID [09:30] TOPSECRET, set in cli; it will be SET [09:30] i change SSID between home and work and school but it doesnt remember even when i dont change [09:31] i installed an nvidia driver, and when i restarted, i can no longer scroll [09:31] When i press Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager -d" nothing happens ;-( [09:31] !upgrade | dppd [09:31] dppd: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [09:32] someone please help [09:33] how do i view xconfig? [09:33] Hello I can connect and disconnect using pon and poff but not networkmanager. I have ethernet/pppoe connection. Is it possible to do (dis)connect using NM? [09:33] bazhang: is it possible to upgrade from 6.06LTS to 8.04LTS Directly...??? [09:33] dppd did you read that link or not [09:34] cypha, /etc/x11/xorg.conf [09:34] bloops: yes you can. it is also possible with Network Manager. What sort of problem do you have? [09:34] cypha, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:34] rather [09:34] I can however, tell whether the connection is active or not. [09:34] bazhang: looked at the page but did not spot 6.06 2 8.04....! [09:34] do i have to type something before it? [09:34] like sudo or something [09:34] you jsut want to view it? [09:34] or edit it? [09:35] bloops: in a terminal, do: plog [09:35] well, my mouse scroll isn't working [09:35] if you want view it nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:35] mgolisch, it works, thanks. I feel silly for it just being that. [09:35] sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:35] it was just a few moments ago [09:35] There's a checkbox next to ppp connection in network manager. I have set the details. But when I check/uncheck the checkbox it goes back to its original state [09:35] what does it mean that uptime is displayed with a '!' in? [09:35] it says here: Uptime: 180 days(!) [09:35] until i installed some nvidia driver [09:35] mgolisch, and everyone! I was never able to get this app to work properly on windows, but here on linux it was a small matter. :D [09:35] i have no idea what the 2 have to do with each other [09:35] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading dppd from a link on the page I gave you [09:35] thank you all. [09:35] linsejko: np [09:35] cypha, is the driver otherwise working properly? [09:35] bloops: have you done sudo pppconf? [09:36] is there an emulator like ndiswrapper to use osx drivers instead of windows drivers (for example a broadcom 4328 chipset) because, honestly, the windows driver sucks ass [09:36] dpowerd: well, i can't get the dual display to work either [09:36] have you tried envy? [09:36] what's envy? [09:36] its really wonderful imo [09:36] bazhang: ok... i tried this one but it does not work... [09:36] abadd0n_: best solution for broadcrap is replacement [09:36] !envy | dpowerd [09:36] dpowerd: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [09:36] still don't know what it is [09:36] that does not help [09:37] updated version of a package? [09:37] LSD|Ninja, 1. why? 2. not really an option on my airport extreme card [09:37] what is that [09:37] cypha, http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [09:37] what is that package [09:37] its a driver for nvidia and ati graphics cards cypha [09:37] uninstall your nvidia drivers and do them through envy [09:37] ohh [09:37] babola1: plog reports it as connected. Primary DNS, Secondary DNS etc. I connected using pon. [09:37] i ahd my dual monitors up and running in no time flat [09:37] abadd0n_: Broadcom wireless is irredeemably shite, no matter what OS you run [09:37] But I want to do it from network manager, or another gui. [09:37] and your PPP connection in NetMan still is unchecked? [09:37] i dont really enjoy editing xorg.conf manually :p [09:37] dppd, what was the exact command you gave [09:37] dpowerd: how do i uninstall my drivers? [09:37] When i press Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager -d" nothing happens ;-( [09:38] * LSD|Ninja is lucky he got his MacBook while they were still using Atheros chips [09:38] bloops: and your PPP connection in NetMan still is unchecked? [09:38] babola1: No. Its checked. It reports the status correctly. [09:38] i think you can actually uninstall them with envy, then install [09:38] But I cannot uncheck it. [09:38] Or check it when its connected. [09:38] bloops: then what is your questin? [09:38] *question [09:38] yes you can [09:39] dppd, you checked that dapper-updates was enabled or not [09:39] Can I do the connecteion/disconnection without using pon/poff? [09:39] bazhang: how do i check this? [09:39] ppl still use dapper? [09:39] dpowerd: will it ask me? [09:39] LSD|Ninja, actually in osx it's pretty good, but i'll take your argument as a mere insult towards the hardware, which, by the way, is not of any help to me [09:39] bazhang: by running the update manager? [09:39] cypha, yes [09:39] bloops: NetMan should remember your previous settings so that you won't have to dial again. you still need to dial before you can connect *every* startup? [09:39] help! i cant mount my drive all of sudden [09:40] abadd0n_, please tone it down [09:40] what's the difference between terminal and konsole? [09:40] cypha, if you are using kubuntu make sure to grab the right envy version [09:40] babola1: yes. [09:40] konsole is the KDE terminal ... [09:40] i have ubuntu [09:40] sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [09:40] ? [09:40] abadd0n_: you're like the 3rd person in here today who's complaining about Broadcrap, people are in here all the time complaining about it and my sister had a braodcrap card in her laptop that I replaced with an Intel over hte weekend because it was so bad [09:40] terminal is the xfce terminal ... [09:40] well, that's odd. How did you set up your connection? sudo pppconf? [09:41] cypha, just follow the guide in the link i posted [09:41] k [09:41] looks correct though [09:41] (3rd person that I've noticed that is) [09:41] bloops: well, that's odd. How did you set up your connection? sudo pppconf? [09:41] I don't think that terminal can tab windows ... [09:41] dppd you can find synaptic? [09:41] babola1: yes. [09:41] babola1: if its disconnected in the middle, (it happens) I have to use pon too. [09:41] Cant I just use nm to do what pon, poff does? [09:41] hazhang: opened it...! [09:42] bloops: perhaps it's an ISP issue.. [09:42] i'm not really complaining about the hardware, simply about the diffences in drivers, if linuxwireless had gotten around to m43 supporting 4328/29 chipsets yet, i'm sure it'd work just fine [09:42] if a new upstream version is available, do you file a bug on the package? I'm looking at keepassx 0.2.2 vs 0.3.1 [09:42] I am asking because thats what I did in fedora. [09:42] dpowerd: it didn't ask me to uninstall the nvidia stuff [09:42] dppd enable dapper-updates then refresh/reload [09:42] I could connect/disconnect using the gui there. [09:42] help me to mount my drive again [09:42] did you open envy already? [09:42] Is it possible to replace NM? [09:42] there is a GUI [09:42] sudo mouny -a [09:42] abadd0n_: Is your machine as OS X/Ubuntu dual boot? Is whether the card is supported in OS X oob important to you? [09:42] mount [09:42] With the one present in fedora? [09:43] sorry, sudo mount -a [09:43] dpowerd: i typed sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [09:43] and it did whatever it did [09:43] and now it's done [09:43] !who | bloops [09:43] bloops: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [09:43] cypha, now u must open it [09:43] actually a triple boot and already supportet in osx, i don't understand the second question @ LSD|Ninja [09:43] cypha, sudo envyng -t [09:43] bazhang: how do i enable dapper -updates? [09:43] something went wrong with my ubuntu. it says i dont have the privilege to do so [09:43] sry, gotta run, be back [09:43] ohhh, ok, cool gui [09:44] cypha apps-->system tools [09:44] yeah, i just found it [09:44] i was looking in system/apps [09:44] =) [09:44] cypha, there is also a real GUI not inside the terminal [09:44] yeah, i ran it from Applications now [09:44] babola1: can I replace NM with something else? [09:44] poke around under system in the main meun [09:44] ok [09:44] yit41 | mount is a sbin command, you have to sudo to execute [09:44] rhydar__: it says no file or such directory [09:44] I'm experiencing a weird problem with ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy. Sometimes it is if, when I type or I alt tab or different keystrokes one of the keys 'stuck' it is just repeated over and over. any ideas what creates this problem? [09:44] abadd0n_: afaik, the Airport Extreme card is still mini-PCIe (at least on MacBook Pro) meaning it should be to replace it with, say, the Intel n card, However, that will kill your wireless in OS X [09:45] i chose to "remove" the nvidia drivers and it's downloading something [09:45] that's so weird [09:45] is there an easy way to go from kubuntu to ubuntu (and maybe back)? I'd like to try gnome [09:45] rhydar__:but i can see my drive (named 38.8 GB Media) under Places [09:45] bloops: im not sure. i'll go check on that. but i think Network Manager can connect/disconnect. a click on the NetMan icon, then a popup appears. Hover your cursor over "dial up connections" and it should give you options [09:46] cypha, best of luck to you, im gone to raid my fridge, highlight me if you have probs ;] [09:46] dppd, is there not a software source in synaptic called dapper-updates? click to enable then refresh/reload [09:46] thanks dpowered: u've been very helpful! [09:46] yit41 | sudo apt-get install mount ... maybe [09:46] cq install ubuntu-desktop [09:46] babola1: left click on the icon has a 'Manual Configuration' dialog link. Right click has [09:47] and then install kde-desktop to go back?= [09:47] or how is the default wm set? [09:47] rhydar__:what do you mean maybe? i can mount before this and i even set up my ubuntu to auto-mount my drive [09:47] yit41 | is it an external drive? [09:47] Hey, I'm having difficulty deleting two directories from /mnt - see this nopaste and you'll see it looks _really_ wierd :S ... http://rafb.net/p/fuxa3B77.html [09:47] babola1: *'Enable Networking' checkbox which enables disables eth0 [09:47] cq you have kubuntu now? then choose in login screen under sessions [09:47] rhydar__: no, it's another partition. my XP partition. i installed my hardy via wubi [09:48] bloops: what do you have in Network Settings, Connections tab? [09:48] bazhang: ok. i did it... but nothings changes... [09:48] bazhang: yes. where is sessions? [09:48] cq in login screen the little menu there click it [09:48] is the login screen teh same for kde/gnome? [09:48] Hi people. I have a problem with my system that when I start it, non of the loading bar and the configuration output (starting servers, applications, checking system ...) appear. instead, I get a dim back screen with a very little light and then logs in the system normally after 3 minutes! Can anyone predict what's wrong? [09:49] and my pidgin kept giving me Reading error when it is trying to connect to MSN [09:49] natalisushka, with that small amount of info hard to say [09:49] dppd, you need to refresh now [09:50] natalisushka: check your system logs [09:50] bazhang: i did... It updates all the packetinfo... [09:50] dppd now try the command again [09:50] I believe it's a VGA driver problem. When I press Ctrl+Alt+4 to switch to command line unix-like I get very big characters, 4 in one line [09:51] yit41 | if wubi is like VirtualBox, there might be some config settings to allow networking and access to other drives ... [09:51] What exactly of the system log I must check? [09:51] natalisushka, then boot in recovery mode and fix the driver issue [09:51] bazhang: Alt-F2 and type gksu "update-manager -d"?? [09:51] dppd first close synaptic [09:51] I don't know how and what to fix! that's why I am here [09:51] bazhang: ok [09:51] natalisushka, first boot into recovery mode [09:52] natalisushka | are you using grub? [09:52] bazhang: do adept, synaptic, apt-get, etc. all play nice together? or do they need to be kept in sync somehow? [09:52] Yes [09:52] rhydar__: well, i can see my drive, access the files in it normally before this [09:52] And then? [09:52] rhydar__: 10 minutes ago it stopped working [09:52] Hello... what do I need to install to get "dlsym" ?? [09:52] cq adept synaptic and add/remove are front ends for apt [09:52] bazhang: nothing changes.... ;-) [09:52] is there a way to save an opened/edited gedit-file when the the kernel is standing? [09:53] dppd pastebin your sources.list [09:53] bazhang: which use /var/lib/dpkg, ok... === backslash is now known as backslash7 [09:53] i know it sounds curious but the linux machine is really standing without using any cpu with load average 10!!! [09:53] cq dpkg [09:54] where is mimi?? [09:54] i only have access to this machine via ssh from another machine. [09:54] After I login to my recovery mode, what shall I do?

I installed a 32bit firefox in /opt/ but i cant call any websites. I can call the local ip-adressof my router. Can someone help me out? [09:55] Do you want me to pastebin the contents?

[09:55] natalisushka, then we need to fix the driver issue; have you booted into safe mode yet [09:56] i just installed EnvyNG [09:56] anyone famliar with that? [09:56] !envy | cypha [09:56] cypha: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [09:56] But as far as I remember safe mode isn't graphic! or is it?

I'm trying to compile something, but it's not working because I'm missing "dlsym", "dlerror", "dlopen", and "dlclose". Any help? [09:57] * LSD|Ninja can't believe he just did that...

When I use irssi regularly, I can easily use ALT+arrow keys to change windows (right-left), but when I ssh to a shell and try the same, ALT+arrow keys just gives me "3D" and "3C". Any idea how to fix that? (Note: When I use PuTTY to ssh from Windows to the same shell, it works fine.)

[14:46] Pici, bah tty's won't be setup the first halve i guess... will try . [14:46] acol, then get fedora :) [14:47] hi. Does anyone know why php-cli is now not compiled with fastcgi support?

[14:49] bazhang, yeah i know grub, i just assumed there would be a more natural way. that is less keys [14:49] yes it will DonaldShimoda\ [14:49] check there [14:49] DonaldShimoda: Please read the second link, it outlines what needs to be done for users and admins. [14:49] no because the keys will be new now [14:50] acol you are not editing the kernel but the boot parameters--there could be nothing easier [14:50] Cyber_Stalker, i know that :P [14:50] Cyber_Stalker, i mind if is need to UPDATE putty also [14:51] no u wont need to update putty [14:51] Cyber_Stalker, i will have to use the new pub key, off course [14:51] Cyber_Stalker, ok, thanks a lot [14:51] hi folks, running ubuntu (recently upgraded to 8.04) that was preinstalled on my dell laptop i just bought...

[14:51] joshual, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [14:51] joshual: Just install kubuntu-desktop, theres no difference between that and the kubuntu CD. [14:52] kubuntu-kde4-desktop for kde4 joshual [14:52] joshual: And it will probably be easier due to dell drivers and whatnot. [14:52] bazhang: kde4 isnt really kubuntuized yet is it? [14:52] ask that in #kubuntu-kde4 joshual :) [14:53] Pici: cool thats what i was thinking... i know though that if i install kde along with gnome i will have a number of duplicate links in my menu...

I'm using monit to start and monitor some workers processes and I've setup monit to check the PID file.

So, I wanted to ask if someone here knows how to use monit to wa [15:06] i have 2 makefiles in my directory. a Makefile.in and a Makefile.am [15:06] attempting to use make in conjunction with those tells me nothing to be done [15:06] automake?

Google for your specific error and it should pop up. (copy paste the line with the error to google) [15:44] the web seems to say leaving it out of fstab [15:44] so i took it out [15:44] didnt make any diff whether it was in or out [15:44] shaneireland, aye; but did you do anyting with the fstab perchance? [15:45] whats strange is it does automount by Canon EOS but only after i run sudo lsusb [15:45] where can i get info about linux programming ang graphics? [15:45] hischild, libc6 says its installed [15:45] where can i get info about linux programming ang graphics? [15:45] at one point i removed the entries that were in there for sdb1 didnt make any difference [15:45] shaneireland, well that is a nice short term workaround and more important; did you try wiping the usb key--may have been a unclean removal on another system [15:46] bazhang: can you suggest one that will cap compiz well? [15:46] where can i get info about linux programming ang graphics? [15:46] I can`t totally remove kde [15:46] je789: it's a libc6 related package, which has that in it's name. [15:46] sandeep_panesar_ /join #bash [15:46] yeah tried that but its the same on lll usb devices [15:46] v0lksman, best to ask in #compiz-fusion for that [15:46] any other ideas anyone [15:46] im sure its hal related [15:46] !puregnome | liu_ [15:46] liu_: If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [15:46] hischild, i also installed libc-dev [15:46] and whats work it worked perfectly [15:46] (16:42:13) laika: hi, i have a problem with sleep mode on my laptop. I can get it to sleep, but when it wakes up there is only a black sreen and it hangs up.. any thoughts? i googled as i could but im not much a linux guy... is amilo pi-1556 ( Nvidia 7600 Go , C2D ) [15:47] when I have 2 IDE drives on the same bus (master, slave) with a 80pin conductor cable, does it actually make any sense in terms of speed to have a striping raid0 over these two devices? [15:47] and im pretty desperate [15:47] can i use xwindows along with gnome on my ubuntu? if yes then how? [15:47] does anyone know how to specify which kernel to load after reboot, i'm running a remote server? [15:47] can i install a fully-fleshed ubuntu into a chroot jail so i can boot it later? [15:47] laika, you probably need to twiddle some acpi things like posting bios and double chvt [15:47] laika It has to do with video drivers and config.. other than that I have no helpful info [15:47] shaneireland, other than the suggestions on that thread not sure [15:47] ubottu: thank you,I am from china,my country is suffering from earthquake,good luck [15:47] liu_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:47] http://paste.php.lv/7394?lang=php [15:48] touchpad scroll wheel keeps dying at random points [15:48] hischild, when i google i get people saying either build-essential or g++ or gcc needs installation but ive got those items?

[15:48] guys I have to install ubuntu on a number of laptops I was thinking debian-installer and preseed but are there other options ?

[16:22] but after my upgrade I don't have ssh-vulnkey like http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-612-2 says I should [16:22] hello! [16:22] wel: Explain your issue, he thought you were just saying you were going insane. [16:22] Jack_Sparrow: i wrote up there which card is it.. but ill google list of supported hardware to check it i guess.. [16:22] can anyone give me the correct syntax of a ssh or sftp entry on .gtk-bookmarks ? [16:22] wel you need to ask precise questions then; what you have done and what errors you have gotten etc [16:22] !hardware [16:22] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [16:22] salve [16:22] !it | stefano [16:22] stefano: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[16:24] and searched google for how to install.. all says something about "hardware info" and "device manager" but my 8.04 ubuntu doesnt have one.. [16:24] Jack_Sparrow: Yes.. i was all time wirely connected.. [16:25] wel see the link bazhang gave [16:25] That's odd. When I run apt-get upgarde I get: The following packages have been kept back: [16:25] openssh-client openssh-server [16:25] bazhang, ill look.thx [16:25] wel also make sure the bcm didnt end up in your blacklist [16:25] !blacklist [16:25] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [16:25] tuna, you need to: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:26] erm, tupari [16:26] Jack_Sparrow, hope ill get it to work.. thx [16:26] is there a way to rebuild your apt archive?

[16:27] /var/cache/apt/archive is empty now and I was wondering if it can be rebuilt automagically [16:27] joe_nix: Did you install libpcre-dev [16:28] hoggie, you should check launchpad bug page and see if they have any workarounds yet [16:28] hoggie Sorry, dealing with two wifi people at the same time.. [16:28] profanephobia, no [16:28] Pici: Yep [16:28] profanephobia once you clean it out. it is gone [16:28] profanephobia you can use the info at the link to remake your package list. [16:28] !clone [16:28] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [16:29] bazhang: ok, got a specific link to give me? or just google?

[16:29] The Return Key does not work from the Live CD boot screen. All other Function Keys work. Any ideas? [16:29] thanks anyways.. [16:29] joe_nix: There may be a configure arugment to either explicitly enable pcre or to point it to the proper location of it [16:30] Pici: I'll have a look, [16:30] problem: it seems like the drivers should be deprecated(i understand this as if it should be included in system)... and the guide expects me to have the driver in networksettings.. as if the problem is i dont know how to connect. to problem is i have nothing but point-to-point and wired connection in network settings [16:31] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/195136 hoggie and here https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200952 and a forum link here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=672332 [16:31] Launchpad bug 195136 in linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24 "No wireless for Intel 3945 in Hardy" [Undecided,Invalid] [16:31] !msg ubottu !automate [16:31] profanephobia: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [16:31] bazhang: thanks dude.

I want to see if when I hit my laptop's Fn button, it sends anything, Fn+F1 is doing the same as F1...not sure if that's normal [16:33] The Return Key does not work from the Live CD boot screen. All other Function Keys work. Any ideas? [16:33] ha [16:34] gexen42, keylogging? [16:34] gexen42: xev [16:34] ahabba bad burn? did you md5 it [16:34] Jack_Sparrow: Ya, twice [16:34] !keys [16:34] Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts [16:35] ahabba, what about cd integrity check [16:35] void^: Do you happen to know, if, using a laptop, you're supposed to get feedback when hitting the Fn key? [16:35] ahabba do you have a different keyboard to try.. and is this wired or wireless? [16:35] is there anyway to change the transparency of the Main Menu? [16:36] Does running wubi slow the system down at all since Windows is already running [16:36] IntangibleLiquid yes, the background.. [16:36] ZimCS: wubi/ubuntu can't run at the same time as windows.. [16:36] gexen42: depends on the model probably, but seems unlikely [16:36] Pici: Nah cant find anything that'll help me :S [16:36] bazhang: It can't try "Check for CD defects", without a return key. [16:36] ZimCS: Windows is not running when Wubi is. It's not emulation. But yes, there is minimal overhead from having an ext3 filesystem inside a NTFS filesystem. [16:36] its dualbooting, but without a seperate partition [16:36] Jack_Sparrow: wired [16:36] trying to write an ubuntu iso to dvd, getting error that it wont fit, i'm using 4.7g dvds (its a dell remastered dvd) is it possible the dvd image was made for a larger dvd?

[16:36] ZimCS Windows is not supposed to be running with wubi [16:37] gexen42:- i am not sure but try xev [16:37] ZimCS, it will be a bit slower than the normal install [16:37] Chapai: I did, it doesn't return anything [16:37] IntangibleLiquid rt click panel, properties, background.. [16:37] okay I'll just do the grub boot loader. thanks [16:37] Jack_Sparrow, that [16:37] Chapai: I just don't know if that's normal or not, I'm assuming not... [16:37] xev in terminal does not open anything? [16:38] how can I install new theme engine in hardy? [16:38] Jack_Sparrow, that's the taskbar, not the main menu i'm afraid [16:38] Chapai: Oh no, xev works, it just posts no feedback when you hit the Fn key [16:38] Hi guys. I'm having a problem with grub. I'mgetting Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition. I'm using LVM [16:38] Chapai: whereas the other keys do [16:38] ahabba, do other linux distros work okay? [16:38] IntangibleLiquid ok.. no.. I have not seen a way to do that [16:38] bazhang: Gparted worked [16:38] all your fn keys or just some gexen42 [16:39] IntangibleLiquid: If you can figure out what window type or class the menu is, you can write a compiz rule to make it more transparent. [16:39] I want to install the newwave theme engine in hardy but dont know how.Any help? [16:39] IntangibleLiquid: Use xwininfo for that, and specific help for the rule in #compiz-fusion [16:39] Pici, you must be kidding, I'm no programmer [16:39] ahabba, that is odd--this is wired kb? [16:39] IntangibleLiquid: its easy. like: class=menu (for example) [16:39] bazhang: yes, Dell laptop [16:40] ahabba, why not tab and double tap (on touchpad) or arrow keys and double tap [16:40] bazhang Pici bbl [16:40] cya Jack [16:41] What video driver am I using?

It's kinda annoying [16:43] ahabba, what about plugging in an external kb [16:43] IntangibleLiquid: No I havent heard of that one before [16:43] is there a way to play quicktime in firefox?

[16:48] when i connect to my vpn connection with openvpn, it does the openssl-vulnkey check, but it does it twice for the same key. why is this happening twice, and is there a way to whitelist keys so it doesn't get checked every time? [16:49] bazhang: yes, F12 > Boot from CD [Enter] > choose english language [Enter] > now Enter is dead [16:50] ahabba, before you get to that--> very beginning you need to get into grub menu and add boot parameters [16:51] bazhang: I think ya lost me. Is this like the [16:51] bazhang: like the boot options at the bottom of live cd boot screen? [16:52] sudo writes: "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: may 16 19:41:06 2008" what should i do? [16:52] ahabba, you are there now? [16:52] bazhang: yup [16:52] i have xterm only [16:53] ahabba, can you get into a console from there? [16:53] bazhang: I hit escape >"You are leaving.. and entering text mode" > now I have a boot: prompt [16:54] have there been many bugs when upgrading from gutsy to hardy using the update-manager? [16:54] naxaaa: sudo -K [16:55] profanephobia just "Keep" the obsolete files after you upgrade, to avoid any errors [16:56] ljsoftnet: are you presented with that option? [16:56] ahabba, now sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst === amblin_ is now known as amblin [16:56] profanephobia yes, just when the upgrade finishes [16:56] bazhang: any command returns "Could not find kernel image: sudo" [16:56] Question: is there an app which I can make moving images with? [16:57] is there a way to use dolphin to access a samba share as another user? [16:57] ljsoftnet: sweet! thank you... just curious have you used hardy yet? [16:57] the only hint to your video driver is hidden in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, now why is it so doggy in 8.04 and snappy in 6.60? [16:57] what's the gnome sudo command? [16:57] profanephobia ok [16:57] ahabba, that is worrying; seems the cd is not okay then [16:57] Fritzel: gksudo [16:58] erUSUL, thank you [16:58] hi, whenever i try to play flash videos firefox dies with this line: firefox-2-bin: pcm_pulse.c:115: pulse_stop: Assertion `pcm->stream' failed. [16:58] how can I remove a single screen saver? i would like to run Random ,but remove the ones I hate first :p [16:58] bazhang: I'll download and try again. Thanks for all your help - greatly appreciated. [16:59] Question: is there an app which I can make moving images with? [16:59] graft: if you want to avoid fixing the pulseaudio issue you can just remove libflashsupport [16:59] ahabba, if you md5sum the iso then it is either the burn speed or the media quality itself that is the culprit [16:59] void^: no, i want to fix the pulseaudio issue [16:59] void^: otherwise firefox will grab the audio, right? [16:59] somehow i'm having trouble installing hardy [17:00] i've set up an lvm and used two volumes for encryption [17:00] bazhang: good to know. I'll burn a slow one. [17:00] Hi all [17:00] hi there channel :) [17:01] Hello [17:01] ahabba, if the problem persists you may wish to add irqpoll to the boot parameters [17:01] graft: true. [17:01] now after asking for the passphrase and creating a random key it says starting up the partitioner the load status is at 47% apparently stalled and it tells me to "please wait..." [17:01] i tried installing ubuntu into a chroot-jail and it fails with cupsys [17:01] what the heck? [17:02] bazhang: will do. [17:02] unicum, how long [17:02] like 2-3 minutes now [17:02] void^: so - how do i fix the issue? [17:02] unicum, let it go for a while [17:02] oh, it could be stalled at encrypting the "to be" home partition at 187 gigs [17:03] could that be it? like.. not stalled, but busy with it [17:03] unicum, go out on a shopping trip in that case [17:03] I'm having trouble getting do-release-upgrade to find a release [17:03] k [17:03] but the box is dapper, so I am certain there is one [17:03] any tips for getting it to recognize that there is a release [17:03] ? [17:03] graft: i'm no good with pulseaudio. i usually just mess around with it until it ends up behaving the way i want it to. wish it was a little simpler to manage. [17:03] by the way.. in the textinstall pressing ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't give me a shell, why? [17:04] or am i doing something wrong here? [17:04] mcrawfor, update-manager-core install it === Scientus_ is now known as balzzand_cookies [17:04] bazhang: update-manager-core is already the newest version. [17:04] etworking and remote access [17:05] oh, nevermind.. got it now.. but how do i get out again without shortcuts?

One Fresh. (works).. one upgrade from Gutsy (primary production machine).. The upgrade version will not shutdown correctly. It hangs at the background pic of the Heron. I have to hit the button on the computer to force into shutdown mode. How do I resolve this? [17:05] dapper-updates - let me try that [17:05] cheers === chaky_ is now known as chaky [17:05] shortcut would be alt+f7, right? somehow it doesn't close the terminal to go back to the "please wait..." screen [17:05] bazhang: ah, dapper-updates is already enabled...

[17:07] ^Caseidon^: you can use Gimp to make moving gifs if you want [17:07] bazhang: sorry - didn't realize it would make a difference - do-release-upgrade is a cmdline tool after all [17:07] <^Caseidon^> How Scunizi? [17:07] Did you set anyrules about terminal server in it ?

[17:12] With Gutsy, I could run Unreal Tournament under Wine. With Hardy, it still runs, but the surface rendering is all screwed up. I can see through walls. What kind of search terms would be useful in figuring out the problem? [17:13] Simotempler, still there ?* [17:13] Escaper: build-essential and linux-headers [17:13] Scunizi: Thank's so much!!!

[17:21] hi, upgraded to hardy, my webcam stopped working, i get this error /dev/video0 no such file, [17:21] any hints to debug whats missing? [17:22] MrObvious, did you check the /etc/ or do a "sudo find / -name *gtkrc*"? [17:22] AaronH: Yeah. [17:22] hellp [17:22] AaronH: I'll try making a new one. [17:22] ajopaul: can you verify that the driver module has been loaded with lsmod? [17:22] hello [17:22] !ask | ralu [17:22] ralu: 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. :-) [17:23] MrObvious, find did find it? [17:23] AaronH: Not what I was looking for really. [17:23] sipior, yes uvcvideo v4l2_common among others [17:25] I just installed VMWARE off of a deb file. How do I run it? [17:25] ajopaul: you've verified that all the drivers that were used in the previous installation are now loaded? [17:25] Amphoteric: apps > system tools [17:25] its not there [17:25] MrObvious, did you look at /home/user/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 ? [17:26] Amphoteric: hmmm, maybe vmware is different from virtualbox, which is what I use. Sorry [17:26] sipior, am not sure, its a dell 1520 inspiron and it had worked out of the box just had to install cheese to use it further.. hence dont know wat modules were required [17:26] AaronH: No such file. :\ [17:26] ubuntu doesn't support >2 displays?

[17:27] This is gonna sound proper stupid. How do you open a file in vim? [17:27] Dear sir, [17:27] It is a humble request that if you could ship CD's free of charge to us of all the versions of Ubuntu and kubuntu [17:27] right form the version 6.06.1 LTS to the version 8.04 and also if you could send us any other future versions of [17:27] Ubuntu we would be delighted. I know that you do not ship older versions but it is request and them coming free [17:27] is an important part of the project. [17:27] r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:27] you obviously need to enable twinview on the second adaptor but not the first which you probably already have enabled for twinview [17:27] Dr_willis weird, i have 2 8800GT's and i can't enable my third and fourth displays on GPU 1 [17:27] What do we do?? [17:27] Bodsda: vim [17:27] sipior, no [17:27] Bodsda: vim foo [17:28] that's assuming that vim isn't running [17:28] Lardarse: umount sdb1 or sda1 depends what the usb shows as [17:28] r: contact shipit.ubuntu.com [17:28] sipior, Lardarse, is there any way to do this after vim is already open? [17:28] /loaded [17:28] CShadowRun, i havent ever used 4 displays. :) i normally use the 2 nvidia config toolks to enable them. i DO think you can use SLI - OR 2+ displays with nvidia cards.. Ive never used sli however [17:28] hello [17:28] sipior, uvcvideo: Failed to query (135) UVC control 1 (unit 0) : -32 (exp. 26). from my dmesg [17:28] Bodsda: i don't know, i don't use vim... [17:28] Bodsda: that still works. or try ":args " in vim proper [17:28] I've been getting seg faults in vim (and gvim) since I upgraded to hardy [17:28] Amphoteric, go to a terminal and type "vm" then press the [TAB] key a couple times and see if you have vmware [17:28] Bodsda, check out the 'vimtutor' program. :r reads a file I recall. [17:28] eido: umount? and how do i know what it shows as? [17:29] Dr_willis hehe i don't have SLi enabled because i'm running dual screen now, i just can't get quad :( [17:29] you need a second X server i think CShadowRun [17:29] Lardarse, ok,well thanks for your help and sipior ty [17:29] sorry umount unmounts [17:29] Dr_willis, is this pre-installed or do i have to install it? [17:29] daftykins that sucks :( [17:29] what dr_wills?? [17:29] mount [17:29] CShadowRun, my desk aint that big. :) [17:29] well i'd expect so [17:29] Bodsda, no idea. if its not installed. install it. :) [17:29] r: contact shipit.ubuntu.com [17:29] hehe [17:29] unless you can tell nvidia-settings to refer to the second card [17:29] DO nautilus scrpits work in thunar? [17:29] r: heh, try a longer nick :) [17:29] I have 6 displays and 7 computers on my desk atm :D [17:29] Dr_willis, will do ty vmuch ;~) [17:29] ok sorry [17:29] because i'd imagine it's not giving you any settings because it only sees the first card? [17:30] is there a way to check if a package is installed properly? I'm assuming that vim isn't broken and it's something wrong with my setup [17:30] It sees the second card and the displays. [17:30] CShadowRun, thats not a desk.. its an aircraft carrier [17:30] i'm uploading a screenshot now [17:30] MrObvious: the trick was to set writable in /etc/samba/smb.conf under my specific share [17:30] Dr_willis haha :D [17:30] Dr_willisi had to mod it a bit :P [17:30] csshadow conserve energy [17:30] http://tinypic.com/index.php <-- screenshot of my nvidia-settings [17:30] maximise entropy! [17:31] I was running a programme under Wine, then switched around to other desktops (using the Cube feature) and now my Wine program window is gone. That is, the program is obviously still running, but the Window is gone ... [17:31] Any idea how I get the Window back? [17:31] I just wondered, any way to get rid of that really annoying "reboot" after upgrades thing? [17:32] yacc: reboot! [17:32] Lardarse: fdisk -l lists partitions and drives [17:32] SuN13: *lol* rebooting costs time. [17:32] pinnerup, make sure you are back to the desktop you started the program on and check your taskbar [17:32] if its not there then you are going to have to kill the program and relaunch it [17:32] yacc: only kernel hal and a few others need reboot when upgraded [17:33] eido: i think i found it another way, by diffing "ls /dev" before and after plugging it in [17:33] i pasted it now what [17:33] Lardarse: then just look for the disk that matches the size of your usb [17:33] erUSUL: well, kernel I can understand, but why userlevel stuff? [17:33] how do I install virtualbox? [17:33] http://tinypic.com/index.php <-- screenshot of my nvidia-settings [17:33] http://i28.tinypic.com/6yfvc9.png [17:33] i know, i failed ;p [17:33] might want to give us a more specific URL [17:33] :> [17:33] AaronH: Ok. [17:33] daftykins haha yea, failed :D [17:33] if any one wants i send a html file of my problem/request [17:33] yacc: well hald is highly tied to hardware just as the kernel ... [17:34] can anyone help with my audio problem? i can't get audio to work.. its ays sound device busy, unavailable.. why is that? i tried reset alsa.. nothing worked.. tried shutting down firefox and restarting.. didnt work... anyone????

[17:34] Amphoteric "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" [17:34] Yeah, but the hardware did not change, right? === burilla is now known as asfas [17:34] Hello, how can I create a modified ubuntu distribution, I mean. removing and adding unnecessary packages and finally produce an image ? [17:34] dafty: from there I can install windows and get it running? [17:34] yacc: I think the upgrader asks for reboots on changes to the xserver also [17:34] "separate X server"allowed CShadowRun ? [17:34] And I think /etc/init.d/hald restart does exist? [17:34] eventually Amphoteric, yeah [17:34] daftykins yup, but i want twinview :( [17:34] does ubuntu gpg gen-key generated keys vulnerable for that openssl bug? [17:34] twinview by its' very definition is having two displays on a single card outputting different desktops [17:34] Lardarse: you will need to use sudo fdisk -l ...sorry [17:35] that doesn't work for a second :D [17:35] bazhang: for you... [17:35] and anyone else listening: [17:35] ok, im completely new to ubuntu. Why does clicking on install at the beginning of the Ubuntu install process not just install ubuntu and then boot me into the gui? Instead it just leaves me a hanging at some busybox prompt [17:35] try enabling separate X screen on screen 3 [17:35] wparry: gpg is no affected as it has nothing to do with openssl [17:35] i had ot do a full upgrade to get my system up to date [17:35] daftykins so how would i get quad screens? :p [17:35] then set twinview for the 4th [17:35] Hello, how can I create a modified ubuntu distribution, I mean. removing and adding unnecessary packages and finally produce an image ? [17:35] and then run do-release-upgrade -p [17:35] daftykins ok [17:35] does anyone want that file?? [17:35] not sure why the -p [17:35] how do I keep networkmanager from mucking with a specific interface? [17:35] hey guys was the use full disc option in the custom install? [17:35] my /tmp folder, i just noticed now, is 25G already. is there a built-in function that "safely" deletes the files in there? like something that i really won't probably be using? 'coz i'm not very confident about deleting them files myself [17:35] !uck | ghaleb [17:35] ghaleb: 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/ [17:35] if I connect to an ubuntu server's serial port and hit return, should I receive a login prompt --- or do you have to 'enable' serial or something? [17:35] ajopaul: strange. does a search of the ubuntu forums turn up similar problems? it's odd (though certainly not impossible) for a device to become unsupported in a later release. btw, this is gutsy you have installed now, right? [17:35] I installed KDE and dont like it, how do I uninstall everything that got put onto my system and then revert the splash screen changes?

[17:36] thanks erUSUL [17:36] if so it doesn't really matter right now it seems to have installed next to windows XP and not replace it is there a way I can rectify this? [17:36] huawei e220 worked perfectly in 8.04 live-env, but after upgrading from 7.04 it wont work, even wvdial wont work, just says that the device doesnt exist. what to do? [17:36] wparry: no problem [17:37] sipior: don't recall asking about serial terminals. possibly a miss-tell? [17:37] ok, next question, I have a printer shared from an XP machine, but don't see it from ubuntu... it's a standard SMB printer, and I've tried anonymous, guest, and a username/pass ... [17:37] Dr_willis: don't recall asking about serial terminal, possibly a miss-tell? [17:37] Btw, is there a way in LVM to reduce the size of a PV?

[17:37] eido: got it. thanks [17:38] Pici, ubottu .. is that includes the installation, any package I add will be added to the installed system ? [17:38] Dr_willis: yeah, my eyes don't track so well after five pm either :-) [17:38] jramsey, you need to do "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" [17:38] jramsey: try ifconfig -a [17:39] sipior, its Noon here.. time for me to go to bed.. 3rd shift sucks [17:39] I really need help [17:39] AaronH, will eth1 come up auto on a reboot? [17:39] huawei e220 worked perfectly in 8.04 live-env, but after upgrading from 7.04 it wont work, even wvdial wont work, just says that the device doesnt exist. also cu cant access the device. what to do? could it help to purge conf for things? [17:39] no [17:39] Captain_Hydro_Ll, you want to get completely rid of xp? is that it? [17:39] yes [17:39] jramsey, no [17:39] i need help i pasted on the paste bin nothing seems to happen again [17:40] AaronH, why does eth0 come up on boot and how can i get eth1 to do so as well? [17:40] jramsey [17:40] Captain_Hydro_Ll, this is a fresh install of ubuntu? [17:40] you need to add it to your network config [17:40] use a terminal [17:40] if could just send a html file to anyone willing not avirus!! [17:40] and type "sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces" [17:40] you need to add lines to duplicate what is set for eth0 [17:40] yes I just installed it and I now have both ubuntu and XP running on my computer [17:40] "auto eth1" [17:40] what he( daftykins ) said [17:40] "iface eth1 inet dhcp" [17:40] Pici, ubottu .. is that includes the installation, any package I add will be added to the installed system ? [17:40] r: you have to post the link to the paste [17:41] i'm surprised the network icon in gnome doesn't give you the options though. [17:41] Captain_Hydro_Ll, you can delete the xp partition if you wish or just reinstall and use entire disk your choice [17:41] for eth1 [17:41] can i sned you the file?? [17:41] question: should canonical file an anti-dumping complaint against microsoft for selling windows XP for $3 with the OLPC? [17:41] ghaleb, one of them is a bot :) [17:41] ok but how do I get the entire disc option [17:41] Hello! Can Wubi be installed from any of the CDs? [17:41] daftykins, "auto eth1" then "iface eth1 inet dhcp"? [17:42] Captain_Hydro_Ll, in the livecd installer? choose use entire disk instead of guided option [17:42] daftykins, just to let you know i want to run the bridge-util on eth1 [17:42] jramsey either pastebin the current config so i can confirm [17:42] PMantis: I think just the live cd [17:42] ok sorry to be a retard XD [17:42] daftykins, ok just a sec [17:42] daftykins: iirc if you have "iface eth1 inet dhcp" in your network/interfaces, then networkmanager will not configure eth1 for you. [17:42] can i list my partitions easy like "lsusb" for usb devices [17:42] Captain_Hydro_Ll, happens to the best of us :) [17:42] ^^ [17:42] amalgamated: I suppose the most effective option would be to send a complaint to EU. Anyway, this is probably better suited for #ubunu-offtopic. [17:42] danbhfive: I'll have to look, 'cause getting an exe and waiting for it to d/l 500MB is rediculous [17:42] bazhang, hmm .. I didn't get it! :) [17:42] ok amalgamated, i'll consider that [17:43] what do u mean ?

[17:49] but yes hardy [17:49] where is it? [17:49] wil: good question. Yes, but I don't know the correct Ubuntu way ;) [17:49] bazhang, and the left things ? [17:49] freely = read&write [17:49] HELLO [17:50] yacc: lol okay thanks [17:50] yacc: the oldhand way would be to edit /etc/fstab I guess. [17:50] wil it's just the way external devices work; you can quite easily add an entry to /etc/fstab [17:50] the installer is called wubi though [17:50] Captain_Hydro_Ll, ah that is the problem then [17:50] O:-) [17:50] ? [17:50] daftykins: would you be able to help me in doing that? [17:50] wil, it should be mounting automatically to /media/yourexternaldirve [17:50] wil: daftykins: seems like the old way is the new way too :) [17:50] wil: sudo gedit /etc/fstab => take a look.

[17:51] my /tmp folder just got to 25G is there a built-in tool in Ubuntu I could use to clean it up? or do i just manually delete them?-->is this safe? [17:51] so go into ubuntu and boot from the live cd [17:51] "lsusb" if it's a USB external [17:51] how to get rid of big tmp file? [17:51] Captain_Hydro_Ll: can you help with my audio problem?

Ideas? [17:51] Captain_Hydro_Ll, aye [17:51] er, ignore that - that'll just show what's there [17:51] babolat: a reboot should clear it out [17:51] is there an new list for compatibal hardware for ubuntu 8.04 somewhere?

[17:53] xjohnthomasx: are you playing mp3s? [17:53] xjohnthomasx, you tried selecting autodetect? [17:53] linduxed: yeah.. ? [17:53] xjohnthomasx : wich version of ubuntu?

[17:53] xjohnthomasx, you just have to do "lsof | grep pcm" then kill the processes that are holding up your sound card. [17:53] bazhang: have you tried XEN in Ubuntu? [17:53] it was working fine an hour ago [17:53] yacc: how would i find the id? is that the under fstab [17:53] AaronH: i will try [17:53] babolat: well, that sucks. Because, no, its not that safe, so I hear. I mean, I don't think its safe for CURRENTLY running programs (it could cause them to crash) So, if you delete it, and reboot, you should be fine [17:53] xjohnthomasx : did you enable system sounds? [17:53] file system is "fat,ntfs,smbfs" etc [17:53] bogey-, not yet; having issues? [17:54] Well, you will need the id to identify the device in fstab. you need to add a line to it. [17:54] Moment. [17:54] ghaleb, the rest is screenlets (goes with compiz) [17:54] yacc: really.. hmm.. i doubt it. i code with php and that's about it.. save for this irc room of course [17:54] AaronH: should this command take a while?

[17:54] xjohnthomasx : system / perferences / sound [17:54] take a look there [17:54] wil: when you open "Computer", and go to the properties of the device, it should show you the uuid in volume tab.

[17:56] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [17:56] xjohnthomasx, when you dont get any out put from "lsof | grep pcm" is when your sound card is free [17:56] ok, nice to know danbhfive [17:57] sometimes it's sensible to see the output of one before another, for new users [17:57] alex ask in #pidgin [17:57] yacc: i cant seem to find it, unfortunatly im using mythbuntu so its using the Thunar File Manager and Xfce so i think things are a bit different [17:57] which are the keys the go back in bash-history? [17:57] <___Alex___> pidgin keeps just keeps leaking, went up to 1.7GB of memory consumption before I realized there was somethign wrong :P [17:57] which are the keys to match my corrent uncomplete command with bash-history?

I moved every file & directory, including hidden ones, from the affected user's home directory into a subdirectory thereof. I still have the same problem, even though I can log in with a newly created [18:47] account. Any suggestions?

[19:33] Leo you still here, this is sam delta [19:33] it keeps wanting to continue that java jre install but it cant [19:33] RyanPrior: thanks for the tip === dieck_ is now known as sam_delta [19:34] cause i cant agree to the license agreement [19:34] how do i agree [19:34] restarted after the sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter and wireless light still orange which means not working and iwconfig sayed no wiress cards its a built in broadcom [19:34] Bert_2: thats the thing, no matter what i use i only get audio from the left side. [19:34] RyanPrior: I am a windiows admin breaking into the linux worl (about 2 years experience now) and I need to learn how to manage the linux systems in a smarter way [19:34] *world [19:34] lastelement0: have you already tried switching between mono and stereo in alsamixer ? [19:34] how long do 200 GiB usually take to be rewritten with random values? [19:34] maw_: just give up [19:34] hehe [19:34] el1te: have you tried tab and enter? [19:34] maw_: if you haven't figured out in 2 yrs [19:34] I am having ttrouble loading ubuntu it goes to file checking goes through number 731 then has trouble connecting CD then repeats. [19:35] Guys, is there a way after upgrading to 8.04 to return to 7.10 without reinstalling the whole system? [19:35] Bert_2: how would i do that i don't think im aware of how one would switch that [19:35] after changing corg.conf, what do I need to do to use it? is there a restart in /etc/init.d, or do I need to log out or even reboot to get it to reread it? [19:35] sd_: I haven't looked. Only had about 4 systems to manage [19:35] issa- no [19:35] lastelement0: give me 2 min. I'll check it [19:35] and they just run... [19:35] doubt it issa [19:35] issa: why the retro grade? [19:35] Bert_2: thank you [19:35] sd_: Trolling not needed. :-) [19:35] I can't get my head around these kinds of masks: 1.2.3.4/24 where 1-4 and 24 could be any value. How do I match IPs in the ranges 0.0.0.0-255.255.255.255 and 1.2.3.0-1.2.3.255? [19:35] it's hard enough getting an upgrade path stable, getting downgrade stable is tough and a lot of work [19:36] maw_: that's awful :/ you need to solve actual problems ... [19:36] lastelement0: Bert_2 I had a look on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Dell_Inspiron_E1505#Intel_82801G_.28ICH7_Family.29_HD_Audio_Controller and it doesn't mention any problems with that sound card :/ [19:36] I have problem with compiz, when effects are turned on, my title bar is messed, I cannot see it, can anyone help me? [19:36] goibhniu: funny thing is that is was working a day or two ago [19:36] cq: you need to restart x [19:36] lastelement0: if you open alsamixer (you know, open a terminal and typ alsamixer) go to the right and there you find an option "mono", press M to make it active and then check [19:37] gluefairy: how? logging out probably isn't enough, is it? [19:37] AstralliS: alt+f2 and run emerald [19:37] maw_: but if you start with shell scripting/eficient shell usage (including cluster commands) it pretty much surpasses anything windows could offer [19:37] lastelement0: also, the gentoo wiki is not a reference for ubuntu [19:37] Cuz I installed the system before and had problems getting my system freezed right after loggin in and firing two applications at a time! I had to reinstall 7.10 again. But it was during the testing of the beta system, but I dont know if it will work now, and I already have a lot to reinstall if anything happened, and I don't want that! [19:37] emerald is already started [19:37] Hi all [19:37] cq It probably is. But if not, cntrl alt backspace kills the xserver. The command startx should bring it back up again. [19:38] lastelement0: are you okey ? [19:38] bert_2: weird, when i press M it bounces between the left and right, so they both work [19:38] am I supposed to kill xserver? [19:38] bert_2: they just aren't working together [19:39] anyone wnt to help me with my brighness control? it isn't working at all [19:39] if we had physical access. [19:39] why wont it let me copy more then 4gbs at a time? [19:39] lastelement0: are you on the mono option or on another one ? [19:39] (which we don't) [19:40] any1 in here who can help me with an Geforce5200go and Xserver? [19:40] when apt-get tries to install java...it wants me to agree to it in the "SHOW DETAILS" window [19:40] im not fully sure if i am or not [19:40] how do i enter that window to agree to it [19:40] does anyone know how i can copy more then 4g at a time? [19:40] el1te: Open it up by clicking the little arrow next to it [19:40] here's what I get when I type emerald in console: Checking for Xgl: present. [19:40] Checking for nVidia: not present.

Mine wasnt working as well and my fn buttons made it work fine [19:41] lastelement0: that's very very strange, I need to check some stuff to give you an answer, give me 5 min. okey ?

[19:42] well my ps3 does === gexen42 is now known as gexen [19:42] i couldnt figure it out how to install so every tine i boot it tells me [19:42] i would like if windows could read it as well [19:42] el1te: Adept may be a little different in the layout. #kubuntu could tell you more concretely. Or you can just do this via the command line, [19:43] but its not a req atm === gexen is now known as tempspace [19:43] goibhniu, my ps3 but i would like windows to if possible [19:43] I apt-get upgrade'd and now apache wont boot :( [19:43] lastelement0: you can toggle a channel with , and . or with < and > [19:43] !pastebin | AstralliS [19:43] AstralliS: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

You've already installed, correct? [20:05] goibhniu: just to register [20:05] Omid: can u paste your /var/log/Xorg.0.log using pastebin [20:05] Tyler: well maybe you need to pass fsck -c to check for badblocks? also take a look at smartctl to see if it reports errors [20:05] i hope someone can help me... i just accidentally deleted the taskbar / taskmanager from my panel... how do i get it back [20:05] no, after ubuntu boot time progress I see that [20:05] Odpey: right-click the panel, choose "Add to panel..." and add the task manager applet. [20:06] Odpey: 3-click process. :-) [20:06] my grub screen stopped working, and that was ok for a while, but now I can't get into windows or ubuntu. does anybody know what to do? [20:06] hello, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 LTS but I had a second HDD with an incomplete Windows XP install and now XP shows up as a grub entry. How can I reformat the second HDD and get the XP option off of the grub screen? I downloaded Gparted already [20:06] i don't have the option 'Add to panel' [20:06] Omid: Alright, try booting to windows, then shutting down completely, then rebooting into Ubuntu. Soemtimes that happens if you have an unclean shutdown [20:06] i just installed kubuntu 8.04 with the kde 4 desktop [20:06] erUSUL: will do. thanks for the pointers. BTW it doesn't show up at boot either, I have to use Gparted to pick it up. I don't know if that tells you anything [20:06] Odpey: You're in the wrong channel then. Please ask in #kubuntu [20:07] thanks :) RyanPrior [20:07] Odpey: Actually #kubuntu or #kubuntu-kde4 [20:07] Guys I'd like to wipe my mbr and OS loaders and have a fresh clean 8.04 ubuntu server. How do I do that? [20:07] I did try that way, but it does not fix [20:07] Can anyone walk me through a Slackware-Ubuntu dual-boot installation? =P [20:07] sjgibbs80: Just pop the disk in and install, reformat the entire harddrive [20:07] alright, hd is wiped out if anyone was on here an hour ago. [20:07] sjgibbs80: A strong magnet would work. Otherwise you could try reformatting the drive. [20:07] eri3: What you mean it stopped working? Grub doesn't load or it loads and gives you a funny screen? [20:07] how do i go about uninstalling firefox beta [20:07] britton: repartitioning is easy, fire up gparted and delete it. As for changing the GRUB menu, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the windows stuff at the very bottom [20:08] Bonsoir à tous [20:08] wakka-wakka: Use synaptic [20:08] !fr | mibu666 [20:08] mibu666: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [20:08] Flannel: How do I "reformat the entire drive?" - I used the partitioner step and it left an old loader behind [20:08] how do i figure out my network device's name (it's not eth0)? thanks [20:08] britton, you just have to use gparted to wipe out the windows hdd and then edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to get rid of the windows option at boot [20:08] sjgibbs80: pick 'guided' [20:09] anyone know how to fix my login screen? its way bigger than my monitor, making the box where i enter my password at the bottom right, instead of being center screen. [20:09] sjgibbs80: During the installation, just tell it to use the entire drive, or go manually and delete all the partitions, then create new ones, etc [20:09] redwhitewaldo: System>Network Tools [20:09] gluefairy: iit just stopped loading and automatically went to windows. it did that before because i had set windows as the first startup option so it automatically picked it, but then the screen stopped loading altogether... it didn't matter to me because my mom was using the computer and she hates ubuntu, so i didn't really care. but now even windows won't load up. i'm just assuming that if i can find a way to get to the grub screen [20:09] anabolix: I've heard that complaint like 3 times now, still not sure what causes it. [20:09] Tyler: is it "lo"? [20:10] tech0007 & Flannel: I think I've tried that from the manual option. I'll try the guided options. brb [20:10] redwhitewaldo: You're asking a process of elimation question. Try it [20:10] Tyler: I see eth0, but when i do a command "sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0" it says "unknown interface" [20:10] ryanprior: yea its been that way for a while.... but it wasnt that way when i installed ubuntu... its after i got new login screens and used them [20:10] redwhitewaldo: Sounds like you're missing drivers === RandomCake__ is now known as RandomCake [20:11] thanks Flannel AaronH rebooting to ck for grub errors [20:11] eri3: Can you paste your menu.lst? [20:11] Tyler: but my wired internet is working just fine [20:11] anabolix: Perhaps you should read the documentation on the gdm login screen and then things will make sense. [20:11] redwhitewaldo: type ifconfig [20:11] ryanprior: tbh, i think i might have followed an instruction on how to use the login screen i just got, and might have altered a config file [20:11] tech0007: want to remove kde desktop (keep some kde apps though) [20:11] how I can scape that window? [20:11] ryanprior: but it was a long time ago, and forgot what exactly i might have done.... [20:12] why I see that? [20:12] tech0007: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12532/ [20:12] icewaterman: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [20:12] gluefairy: i can't get the computer to load at all. it tries loading into windows but i get to some options like 'start in safe mode' or 'start last known working configuration,' but none of those work [20:12] anabolix: Like I said, if you understood the system, you might be able to look at the necessary configuration files and so on and just make sense of it. [20:12] eri3: Do you have any live cds? [20:12] ryanprior: if im not mistaken i had to add a variable value at an end of a config file... something like vga=xxx ...... xxx=being any 3 numbers [20:13] redwhitewaldo: you r using eth0, try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart instead [20:13] ryanprior: thanks [20:13] anabolix: sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf [20:13] anabolix: check your resolution in this [20:13] eri3: The ubuntu installation cd for example, which you could boot from. [20:13] gluefairy: i'm sorry but i'm not sure what that is... is that the same thing you use to install ubuntu in the first place? if so, no, i think i lost it, but i could make a new one [20:13] tech0007: Usage: /etc/init.d/networking {start|stop|restart|force-reload} [20:13] gluefairy: i could make a new one... what then? [20:13] redwhitewaldo: are you trying to figure out your ip address or configure your wireless? [20:13] tech0007: i'm trying to set up opendns (cf https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu#step2) [20:13] redwhitewaldo: right [20:13] hello all, how to connett to samba share, located in same home network (Dreambox sat reciever, running Linux) ? Windows PC can see and connect to Samba, but cannot from Ubuntu 8.04 [20:14] tyler: # Usplash configuration file [20:14] xres=1280 [20:14] yres=1024 [20:14] anabolix: ok is that the resolution you ususally run at? [20:14] Tyler: tech0007: i'm down to the last step on that opendns.com page. Command "$ sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 " wont't work for me. [20:14] anabolix: there is another file to configure your loggin and I'm trying to remember it [20:14] eri3: you will need to boot the computer to fix anything (unless you could steal the hardrive), so yeah, you will need to make another installation cd. [20:14] hi i have a problem how to launch automatically flash player in my firefox browser [20:14] is there a way that I can install something with "sudo apt-get install conky --enable-xmms2" (this doesn't work) Can you pass arguments to aptitude when installing packages? [20:15] ? [20:15] tyler: 1024768 [20:15] tech0007: hm, i think i should go for a new i386 install (currently it is amd64) since there is no easy way to get a working 32-bit installation via chroot and then boot it, i guess i am with installing it all over again [20:15] redwhitewaldo: try eth1 then [20:15] tyler: 1024x768 [20:15] anabolix: change it to that then [20:15] tyler: your telling me to edit the config file? or change the res, from the options [20:15] Hey Guys :) [20:15] hotmonkeyluv: No, apt pulls down binary packages, not sources. You *may* be able to do that if you apt-get source conky and compile it yourself though [20:15] redwhitewaldo: you can skip the last step i think, try it [20:16] anabolix: edit the config file to the resolution that you usually run on your desktop [20:16] Pici: I tried that, but it won't go through the make process [20:16] tech0007: ok. [20:16] thanks! [20:16] What could be the reason for ubuntu lagging on a laptop with 512 mb ram and 1,8 ghz? [20:16] hotmonkeyluv: You'll need to do apt-get build-dep conky first [20:16] nobody could not help me? [20:16] akand: the Gnome DE [20:16] anyone wnt to help me with my brighness control? it isn't working at all the directory /acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness doesn't exist. [20:16] Pici: oh.. [20:17] im looking to get a dell laptop..it needs to be a latitude..i hear the dell latitude d630s are the bomb..anyone running one and how well are they dealling with the hardware? [20:17] Omid: what's wrong? [20:17] eri3: after making a new one, you should boot into it, mount the partition ubuntu is located on and check the file /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:17] grendal_prime: you need to search the forums for Dell Vostro Ubuntu guide [20:17] how would i go about uninstalling firefox 3 beta 5 and installing one in the 2 area? [20:17] grendal_prime: I'm not promising anything but it may work [20:17] Pici: Wow, that seems like a really useful command, I wonder why I never heard about it [20:17] black screen alike Microsoft DOS! first word: "BusyBox Verion 1...." Ubunu 8.02 Desktop [20:18] askand: perhaps a bad gfx card driver? [20:18] I see that after Boot time progress [20:18] hotmonkeyluv: that grabs the build (compile) dependencies for packages, useful if you want to compile your own versions of stuff already in the repos. [20:18] wakka-wakka: don't uninstall firefox 3b just install ff 2 to run along with it [20:18] Pici: hrm, I still get the same errors [20:18] Tyler: why do you say that [20:19] Pici: do I need to ./configure it with those installed first? [20:19] hotmonkeyluv: yes. [20:19] what is name of the package containing the complete kernel sources for hardy [20:19] wakka-wakka: because ff3b will eventually turn into ff3 release cantitade [20:19] Pici: does it hurt/matter if I do ./configure and then do it again? [20:19] Tyler: maybe you could answer this.. is there a way, that when i press the down button on the address bar, it will show what i went to, not what's in my bookmarks (or whatever it shows) [20:19] mephistofun:You can find it in Synaptic. Search for kernel [20:19] hotmonkeyluv: nope, you can ./configure all you want [20:20] wakka-wakka: it shows both. [20:20] My update manager is showing me an update for 'libtotem-plparser10' but it's greyed out and I am unable to select to apply it, why might that be happening? [20:20] Hi, im trying to add Vista to GRUB on hard drive sda1 but I get the error "Grub Error 13: "Invalid or unsupported executable format" here is my fdisk -l and menu.lst http://pastebin.com/m77213da0 any ideas? [20:20] mephistofun: linux-source [20:20] Pici: WOOT! it's alive! [20:20] wakka-wakka: It's showing your bookmarks? I've never heard of/realised that [20:20] thanks a bunches Pici [20:20] hotmonkeyluv: surely [20:20] mephistofun, shear in the bash [20:20] let me take a ss and show you [20:20] if possible [20:20] what it happen? what should I do? [20:21] Pici: do you perchance know of a good conkyrc file I can use? [20:21] hotmonkeyluv: nope! I think the conky website has some samples though [20:21] yeah, they do, just wanted to find another source [20:21] Hi I am trying to run updates via a "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade" and I am getting some unmet dependency errors. Some of the packages depend on versions that are newer than that are in the hardy repositories; how can I fix this? [20:21] tyler: it didnt fix the problem :S [20:22] Daisuke_Laptop: is there a way to have it just show what i went to/typed in, instead of both or description? [20:22] anabolis: Hold on [20:22] nobody can not understand me? [20:22] Omid: do u have dual boot [20:23] Hey there everyone. I am looking for a good audio recording/editing program in which you may record tracks seperately then add them together and add effects to them. Also some MIDI. For Ubuntu [20:23] wakka-wakka: not that i know of, all i can say is to give it a chance, it's actually a lot more useful than it seems at first glance [20:23] anabolis: sudo apt-get install startupmanager [20:23] Arelis: audacity === Cracken227 is now known as G1 === G1 is now known as Cracken226 [20:23] anabolis: then run startupmanager in terminal [20:24] tech0007: I meant something like garageband [20:24] Firefox keeps dying on me! grrr [20:24] what is going on with libtotem-plparser10? it is depending on versions of libraries that are newer than those in hardy repositories === dmb_ is now known as dmb [20:25] Hey =]] Can anyone help me out? For some reason, my sound stops working with some programs after a while. Like, I was just using Amarok to listen to music, and now Firefox won't make any noise. Why is this?

[20:26] is there anyway of hiding MSN by pressing some keymap, like we can do in MSN PLUS! ? [20:26] condawg: Firefox and especially Flash in Firefox is having sound troubles right now, and it is is a really big mess to sort out. However, it stems from well-known bugs, and it's being worked upon as we speak. [20:27] amrik, i am sure. i'm really using debian. But ubuntu doesn't even have a ppc build [20:27] RyanPrior: Thanks =] Is there any way to get it to temporarily work again without restarting? Or is a restart necessary? [20:27] anabolis: hows that working for you? [20:27] tyler: ok i just installed it and i ran it... now what? [20:27] mitch_: This is not a good channel for that question. Perhaps ask on irc.mozilla.org [20:27] RyanPrior, they sent me here..... [20:27] anabolis: lol change the settings to what they should be. What resolution are you running on your desktop? [20:28] condawg: You can install the package libflashsupport, but it is a sub-standard solution since it often causes Firefox to crash after watching multiple Flash movies with sound. [20:28] RyanPrior: But, after it crashes and I reopen it, it can still restore my tabs, right? [20:28] condawg: I just keep a tab of pages with Flash movies that I want to watch, and then watch them all at once at some point so I don't have to keep switching. [20:28] alright how od i go about installing firefox 2 [20:28] mitch_: to be clear what version of ubuntu are you using? [20:29] condawg: Yes, you can restore your tabs. It's annoying though. :-) [20:29] i just dl'd it [20:29] =D [20:29] RyanPrior: FF crashes after a few flash movies anyway [20:29] RyanPrior: Alright. Cool. I'll try that out. Thanks =] [20:29] with or without libflashsupport [20:29] Ronald: not on my computer, without libflashsupport. [20:29] Has anyone tried the flash 10 beta? [20:29] alright, I've got it down to two possibilities: ppc = PowerPC or ppc = Pocket PC, which one? [20:29] ok, Thanks! I will try it [20:29] I have an IBM thinkpad, and I would like to get VGA out going. My default function key doesn't seem to do anything. I'm running hard herron. Any takers? [20:29] RyanPrior: FF been crashhappy on flash on linux since I known it [20:29] Thanatos____: Good luck and Godspeed with that one [20:30] RyanPrior: Is there anything I have to do after installing the package? I'll try restarting firefox... [20:30] Ronald, thats strange, I've never had FF crash on flash on linux [20:30] mainly on youtube [20:30] Ronald: no surprise there. Flash is a closed blob. However, with Adobe now "supporting" Ubuntu, hopefully they will be able to manage a fix. [20:30] Tyler, is this a known difficult problem? [20:30] doesn't really matter [20:30] * el_ruso says Hi to everybody [20:30] is there anyway of hiding MSN by pressing some keymap, like we can do in MSN PLUS! ?

[21:26] dekstop cd [21:26] Cyber_Stalker, why not upgrade to hardy? [21:26] Flannel: I did find an option for that, and IIRC it didn;t have any effect. Sorted now though. [21:26] Broadcom i cant get hardy yet [21:27] ikonia: ok, that would have been my second idea.. i think i will go with your plan and put the two storage hd's in NTFS [21:27] Cyber_Stalker, why not? [21:27] Cyber_Stalker: you can't upgrade with a Desktop CD, just the alternate (or the internet as well, obviously) [21:27] because i use a lot of files larger than 4gb [21:27] Cyber_Stalker: only thing you can do with a desktop CD is re-install [21:27] any idea what this means? [21:27] BulBulRed: but don't raid them ! [21:27] BulBulRed: if you want to share them - don't raid them [21:27] opps this checked the “Enable accessible login” under the “Accessibility” tab [21:27] got ya ikonia [21:27] thx a lot [21:27] BulBulRed: sorry- was just trying to get that across clear [21:27] thanks for your time Flannel [21:27] sjgibbs80: no problem [21:27] My sound quit working for my messangers & xchat etc but it works for my music and start up etc is there a way to fix that i have sound enabled on both messangers and xchat any ideals?

[21:29] Cyber_Stalker: You need the alternate CD (to upgrade) or you can re-install with the Desktop CD [21:29] broadcom: the page said "checked the “Enable accessible login” under the “Accessibility” tab" waht does thi smean? [21:29] ok flannel thanks :D [21:29] what directory is all the user menu info kept. I see a .gconf and a .gnome2 [21:30] Cyber_Stalker: If you're reinstalling, you can remember that you can have /home on its own partition, and then you wont lose your files, just the installed programs (which you then reinstall) [21:30] ikonia: I have apache installed, where should I start in the configuration process? [21:30] using 8.04, enabled cube effect and the top frame of window is gone.. no minimize, max, close buttons..? [21:30] .........

It may be the apps that I run.. but that was with kubuntu also.. I reloaded with vanilla ubuntu [21:34] Flannel thats what i ment it doesnt seem to be booting in the vm [21:34] will try again [21:34] ok thx [21:34] someone... [21:35] Flannel does ubuntu have boot priority? therefore it could be skipping loading the cd/ [21:35] I just ran "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" but a package was held back. Why, and how can I fix this? [21:35] how can i restore the top frame which contains the close and resize buttons after i enabled the cube effect? === wakka-wakka is now known as pilgrimage [21:35] Cyber_Stalker: That's all done in your BIOS [21:35] does anyone know where the mount options for an automountable device is stored? I used an illegal mount option, and can't mount the device to get the icon to change it. [21:35] Cyber_Stalker: or, however the VM does it. [21:35] My sound quit working for my messangers & xchat etc but it works for my music and start up etc is there a way to fix that i have sound enabled on both messangers and xchat any ideals? [21:35] weird [21:35] how would i go about installing firefox 2.0? [21:36] Cyber_Stalker: the choosing of the boot thing happens outside of the OS (or cdrom's) control [21:36] pilgrimage: firefox-2 [21:36] Flannel i know how to do it [21:36] UBUNTU ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:36] im asking if linux has anything that may interfere with that [21:36] fr34k I had that problem. I reset all to defaults. for me it has something to do with the animations.. not the cube effect. [21:36] WINDOWS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [21:36] omar9417, nowai, vista rocks :P [21:36] Cyber_Stalker: No, that happens before Linux gets a chance to do anything [21:37] !offtopic | omar9417 [21:37] omar9417, pft.

[21:37] omar9417, please stop [21:37] did dell release a new hsf dial-up modem driver for hardy (32-bit)? [21:37] ok [21:37] Flannel: after i get it through apt-get install, does it load it into the menu? if not how do i load it into there? [21:37] Dude can some one please help me [21:37] pilgrimage: It ought to, yes. [21:37] after upgrading via the internet from 6.06 to 8.04, my ability to access the wireless network that supplies me internet is broken. The settings have been retained in the new applications that govern the connection, but it just does not seem to work. [21:38] flip2405, please just restate your question [21:38] Flannel: lets see [21:38] what module(s) are responsible for Ubuntu 8.04's device automounting? [21:38] My sound dose not work in my msn messanger or xchat [21:38] el_taco: how did you reset it to default? [21:38] anybody here has a ATI video card and was able to install it [21:38] pilgrimage: yes, it does [21:38] my network pci card is a smc2602W ezconnect [21:38] It works for every thing else [21:38] :P [21:38] ;) [21:38] omar9417: wats ur problem exactly? [21:38] Hello, can somebody assist me with an sftp/ssh problem? [21:38] or the new ATI drivers [21:38] i was wondering is there a way to fix the issue with mouse themes not working properly when compiz is enabled? i hate the constant change of mouse theme when i place my mouse over firefox and desktop its an annoyance anyone have any clue how u might fix this? [21:38] nice distro ;) [21:39] Will ubuntu ever have dvd copying software? [21:39] i have no open gl [21:39] Agnostic: it does already [21:39] Agnostic: it alredy has [21:39] Flannel: it does [21:39] Agnostic k3b [21:39] !dvd | Agnostic [21:39] Agnostic: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [21:39] Agnostic: u mean like encrypted dvds? [21:39] could someone help me clone a partition to another harddrive? [21:39] I can use "Places --> Connect to server" from 1 PC to the other, but when going the other way I receive an error. [21:39] so say i wanted it unstall it would the coding be something like apt uninstall firefox-2? [21:39] s3a, Yes. When I purchase a dvd, I always make a backup. [21:39] fr34k in compizconfig click on preferences then there's an option to reset to defaults. [21:40] Until that happens, I can never leave windows. [21:40] blankhead: Using kde-window-decorator --replace will attempt to use existing underlying KDE theme where possible inside Compiz. But I do find it crashes often [21:40] i have a ATI 200 m [21:40] Agnostic: i think k3b now can do that but k9copy does that i think but i use dvdshrink (windows app) in wine then use any normal ubuntu burn software to burn it [21:40] what's the plan for firefox in Hardy? like will it update as the FF RCs and final come out? I could really use the Firebug Extension back, but it only works with FF RC1.... [21:40] My sound dose not work in my msn messanger or xchat.... it works in pidgen and frostwire and all that but i want it to work on msn to can some one help me [21:40] Agnostic: I think that DVD copying software was available for Linux first as decss was made in the first place to be able to play DVD's on Linux [21:40] Have the Breezy Repos been taken down? [21:40] jamiejackson: for 8.04.1 yes [21:40] I heard of a gnome applet where you can track the time of what you are doing, and by this keep control of your wasting time at the PC. What was the name of the applet? [21:40] jamiejackson, there are ways to fix this, google it [21:40] n2diy: They have been for about a year now (since EOL) [21:40] I use DVD FAB with windows. It seems to work real well. I was hoping Linux had something like this. [21:40] Bah wrong channel about KDE, etc... nvm me :) [21:40] i followed http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ but i get 'invalid bootable partition' can anyone help ? [21:41] but i wana install the new drivers but i dont know how [21:41] n2diy: they're archived if you need to upgrade from Hoary [21:41] im bad working with the terminal [21:41] Flannel, ok, can I use the Dapper Repos for Breezy? [21:41] el_taco: that didn't work for me.. any other suggestion? [21:41] can anyone help install ubuntu on a usb device ? [21:41] I have a question. I want to install Ubuntu on a pc with winxp. I don't want to dual boot. I'm afraid I've alreay installed over xp and have the dual boot situattion. what can I do to Create a purely Ubunut mchine? Keep in mind I'm new to linux and installing os's in general. [21:41] n2diy: Eh? No. Upgrade to dapper. Breezy hasn't received security updates for over a year now, time to upgrade to dapper [21:42] n2diy: You should be able to upgrade to Dapper ( or is that what you are asking? ) [21:42] Broadcom: you sure about that? i did modify the xml file of the installer, and it pretends it's installed, but firebug doesn't actually work properly, and on the firebug issue tracker they say it *doesn't* work with beta 5, not even Firebug 1.1 beta [21:42] Agnostic: try running that app thru wine in ubuntu then if u like it so much [21:42] My sound dose not work in my msn messanger or xchat.... it works in pidgen and frostwire and all that but i want it to work on msn to can some one help me [21:42] fr34k might be something with your video drivers [21:42] Captain_Hydro_Ll: So, you have a computer you want to make pure Ubuntu? [21:42] did anyone successfully install ubuntu on a usb stick ? [21:42] Agnostic: u do no what wine is right? [21:42] Yes! [21:42] Captain_Hydro_Ll: pop in the CD, and install. Let it use the whole disk [21:42] Broadcom: firebug 1.1 beta actually does install on FF3b5, but it just doesn't work [21:42] s3a, Yes. [21:42] jamiejackson, maybe i a wrong [21:42] s3a, A buggy program. [21:42] el_taco: 'k changed 'backend' under compiz config to flat-file and it worked. [21:42] Flannel, I just rescued a friends old Windows box, and it doesn't have enough RAM for Dapper, so I had to use Breezy. I'd like to get Abiword and Gnumeric installed on it? [21:43] LOL, I was afraid of that, I don't hav a cd [21:43] Agnostic.... , so why not wine your old dvd ripping software and wine ay buggy [21:43] isnt* [21:43] n2diy, try xubuntu [21:43] fr34k i'll have to remember that. [21:43] n2diy: You sure it doesn't have enough RAM for a stripped down Dapper? [21:43] Agnostic: well u can use k3b and k9copy then... [21:43] I have a folder on my desktop that has a lock on it and i cant delete it. i tried sudo rmdir in the console but it wont lemme since its got folders inside of it. lots of folders [21:43] can anyone help me with automounting... I can do the leg work.. I just need to know where to look... what automounter does Heron use??? [21:43] i have a usb stick which is seen as 2 devices, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, i installed ubuntu to /dev/sda but it doesnt work, i get 'invalid boot partition' can someone help ? [21:43] i seem to be having some problems with sound, i'm getting a message that xine cannot initalise audio drivers from amarok. any ideas? [21:43] n2diy: Dapper didn't use significantly more RAM than breezy. You could always switch to Xubuntu or some other lightweight WM. [21:43] n2diy: Or for that matter a stripped down Hardy [21:44] tim167, i dont think ubuntu works on usb devises [21:44] Whats the package name for initrd-tools? [21:44] n2diy: there's an archived copy of Breezys repos up: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ switch your sources.list over to that and it'll work fine. Just remember, you're unsupported and potentially vulnerable [21:44] * Flare183 is here to help [21:44] Broadcom, Jordan_U, Flannel, ok on all that [21:44] Broadcom: It does, yes. [21:44] Broadcom: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ [21:44] n2diy: There is always software in linux that will stay light, and often ( like with FF3 ) gets significantly lighter with new releases [21:44] wont let me upgrade to hardy ;( [21:44] s3a, Is k9copy able to copy .. copyrighted discs? [21:45] Flannel: considering the recent ssh/ssl shenanigans, let's change that to "probably vulnerable" [21:45] tim167, Flannel ah, thought it did not [21:45] Flannel, thanks, and it is a test box, so security isn't an issue. [21:45] Agnostic: i havent checked myself but i think k3b has added ripping capabilities to its alredy "burn a disc" options [21:45] Daisuke_Ido: no. pre-feisty isn't vulnerable. Or at least, I know its not on Dapper, and I believe its not on Edgy. [21:45] Broadcom: I'm running Ubuntu on a USB Hard drive right now [21:45] n2diy: Do a command line install of ubuntu... then add fluxbox and a few apps. THat thing'll fly. [21:45] Flannel can you help me install ubuntu to a usb device ? [21:45] s3a, okay. [21:45] anyone knows why system>>preferences>>appearance doesn't let my selected gtk2 theme (black) allows to make everything dark??the button stays grey and with that the task bar items as well [21:46] My 7.10 wont fetch it ;( [21:46] Flannel: hmm... breezy was before that... edgy might be vulnerable [21:46] what's the terminal version of pidgin called? [21:46] tim167: is it a USB Hard drive? If so, unplug ur physical hard drives, launch the live CD, install from there. [21:46] tim167: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-86a18ab57715d9bb5f0dfaba497a928e67cd73ed is more help than I can give [21:46] nevermind then :) [21:46] it should work. [21:46] does anyone know how to get grub working without USB legacy support? My PC has no PS2 ports and no USB legacy option in the bios [21:46] So, Flannel, you're saying in order to do this correctly I'll need a cd?

But I know dapper isnt. [21:47] linksdragon have you looked for a bios update? [21:47] I am having problems installing Ubuntu on this machine, I am getting getting an xserver crash. I think its because of my Nvidia 6800.

[21:47] Captain_Hydro_Ll: You'll need some way to boot to the image, whether its CD, or USB, or whatever. [21:47] that's good, at least that makes it another release that doesn't have to be patched [21:47] el_taco, not yet. It's a fairly new computer, so I didn't even think about that. [21:47] just feisty - hardy [21:47] flip2405, if noone here can help you, file a bug [21:47] !sound | flip2405 [21:47] flip2405: 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).

(and i see that that Hardy version hits july 3) [21:48] flip2405: How'd you get msn messenger running? [21:48] Myrtti my sound works its just my msn sound [21:48] Arthurarchnix apt-get install amsn [21:48] flip2405: first of all, it's probably an issue with wine if you're running msn messenger. type winecfg and configure your sound options. [21:48] Fogel1497 just be carefil not to mistype that [21:48] No [21:48] I use amsn [21:48] witch [21:48] tim167: is it your boot order? or is it while booting ubuntu? [21:48] flip2405: there's also emesene [21:48] is linux verson of msn [21:48] Can any1 tell me how to get the package initrd-tools ? [21:48] jamiejackson: I'm not sure, it'll be at least an RC version (which is just as good). And firefox3 will continue to have bugfixes applied throughout Hardys lifecycle, so whatever we end up with is just in name only. [21:49] Daisuke_ido i know i dont like that one though [21:49] ldiamond: nope, it starts booting alright but always fails [21:49] Guys i need some help. i recently upgraded to .10 and the grub menu list i had is gone. i cant boot into vista anymore. Is there anyway to remove ubuntu and fix the mbr? [21:49] hello, what should I do to make gdm authenticates through LDAP server ? [21:49] I just ran "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" but a package was held back. Why, and how can I fix this? [21:49] The fail I get is 'Failed to start the X server. Would you like to view the log?' When viewing the log I get "Fatal server error: no screens found" [21:49] nah no help; I'm having trouble connecting to msn with 7.10, it started recently - it works eventually, but for example pidgin takes 8 hours to connect (no exaggeration) [21:49] tim167: and you tried unplugging all your hard drives before installing? [21:49] ldiamond: the furthes i got was having the ubuntu login window, but after that it hangs [21:49] clintchance: sure, boot to the Vista DVD, and you can reload the vista bootloader. Removing Ubuntu is as easy as deleting the partition [21:49] I've tried pidgin, aMSN and finch [21:49] I can print to my printer, but when i insert a sd card into my printer it doesnt load to my computer. Any ideas? [21:49] please, can you access to http://www.xach.com/lisp/ ? [21:49] ldiamond: furthest [21:49] ghindo: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [21:50] Oh well, then I'd get into verbose mode (ctrl alt f1) to see what happens [21:50] ldiamond: also tried on 3 different computers [21:50] Flannel, i have an acer. they didnt give me a disk. All i have is the ready upgrade for vista disk [21:50] thx Flannel: last question, is there any package-friendly way to get a more current FF before july 3? (i don't think i can wait that long, as a web developer) [21:50] spainish: its there [21:50] I cant help you more than that, I didnt run into those problems [21:50] Can any1 tell me how to get the package initrd-tools ? [21:50] Flannel: That didn't do it, either [21:50] i am havind a problem with devede when i convert i get no audio it was fine before i upgraded to 8.04 any ideas? [21:50] lordleemo, sure?

[21:51] !usb [21:51] For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [21:51] Broadcom, i want to instal to a usb stick, not from a usb stick [21:51] !livecd [21:51] The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. [21:51] #ubuntu-us [21:51] jamiejackson: You can get the latest binaries at any time from mozilla and just run them from inside your home folder ( so it won't conflict with a global installation ) [21:52] tim167 google "running ubuntu live cd off a flash drive" [21:52] Broadcom: ah the second link is that, but i tried it and couldnt get it to work [21:52] Flannel? [21:52] Broadcom: I am, I cant find it. Its apparently in Universe, how do I add Universe to the list? [21:52] clintchance: That may be able to. Otherwise you have a few options, keep GRUB on a small partition to boot to vista, use something like Smart Boot Manager, or find some way to get the vista loader on there though... whatever methods the internet has to offer [21:52] tim167: it's persistent, which essentially means it's a usable installation. [21:52] I can print to my printer, but when i insert a sd card into my printer it doesnt load to my computer. Any ideas? [21:52] ldiamond, go to sofwhare sources [21:52] ldiamond: System -> Administration -> Software Sources [21:52] thanks Jordan_U [21:53] Fogel1497, does the printer really read the sd card for you computer? i have never heard of that [21:53] jamiejackson: np [21:53] Nubbie: i followed several tutorials, all go well in the process, but the actual booting always fails on some way [21:53] Fogel1497: we are sorry but our clairvoyant operators are all busy on other lines. Don't call us, we'll call you. [21:53] flannel, Wouldent happen to have vista with your bootloader by anychance? [21:53] anyone have any experience with an x-fi card under 8.04? [21:53] please, can you access to http://www.xach.com/lisp/ ? [21:53] Broadcom: then where should I go? [21:53] spainish, whats it for? [21:53] ldiamond, check univese [21:53] Nubbie, now, my last attempt using http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-via-the-live-cd/ i get 'invalid boot partition' on boot [21:53] yah its got a little slot for an sd card and the photos show up on a preview on the printer, and i can open the files on the sd card from my computer on windows xp [21:53] Broadcom: the one with (universe) was already checked [21:54] spainish works fine, [21:54] jamiejackson: There may be someone with a repos (either PPA, or some other third party one), or you can just keep it in /opt for the time being, and then delete it once the package upgrades. Instructions for the latter: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion [21:54] i am havind a problem with devede when i convert i get no audio it was fine before i upgraded to 8.04 any ideas? [21:54] jamiejackson: that page is a little dated, so the filenames/etc will be different, but the process is the same [21:54] Broadcom: When I do sudo apt-get install initrd-tools, it cant find the package [21:54] can someone help me clone a windows install onto a new bigger harddrive [21:54] this link refused my connection [21:54] Hi. I'm installing 8.04 and have been sitting at "Starting Bluetooth" for about 15 minutes ... is this normal (I have no bluetooth hardware) [21:54] ghoti, there are some opensource ghost tools. or use Norton ghost [21:54] GhotiPhud, this is ubuntu only [21:54] thx Flannel [21:54] Ntsunda: No, that is not normal [21:54] clintchance: No. It'd be some third party restore/diagnostic/whatever disk or something. UBCD4Win might be able to, I don't really know. You might try ##windows [21:55] i am havind a problem with devede when i convert i get no audio it was fine before i upgraded to 8.04 any ideas? [21:55] Broadcom I want to clone this partition using the Hardy live CD [21:55] boas [21:55] Flannel, Thanks il try irc windows [21:55] Ghotipud, you g-parted [21:56] Ghotipud, use g-parted [21:56] how would I do that [21:56] Broadcom: When I do sudo apt-get install initrd-tools, it cant find the package [21:56] is anyone running ubuntu from a flash drive ? [21:56] ldiamond-> which tool within initrd-tools are you looking for? [21:56] please, can you access to http://www.xach.com/lisp/ ? [21:56] ghotiphud go to www.gparted.com [21:56] I have the live cd in and can see the internal HD and the external one I want to copy onto [21:56] spainish: Why are you asking? [21:56] I opened up gparted, but I don't see a clone option [21:56] I just ran "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" but a package was held back. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" didn't fix it either. How can I fix this? [21:56] i need a reliable answer [21:57] ghotipud come channel flip [21:57] spainish it works [21:57] channel flip? [21:57] ghindo: What package? and does it say why? [21:57] type /j #flip [21:57] On gutsy sshd, when a user logs out, its leaving a stale session, is anyone else experiencing this, (only started a after the second sshd update) [21:57] spainish: if you want reliable advice look elsewhere :P [21:57] amenado: mkinitrd [21:57] my connection to it doesn't work, can you access to http://www.xach.com/lisp/ ? [21:57] ldiamond-> thats been replaced with mkinitramfs [21:58] my flash drive shows up as 2 devices, one is 1.5 MB and contains some kind of 'lock' application for windoze, might this prevent me from booting from it? and can i remove it? [21:58] spainish I've said like 3 times that it works [21:58] Flannel; The package is libtotem-plparser10, and it doesn't say why it's being kept back. [21:58] tim167-> not two devices, perhaps two partitions? [21:58] amenado: I compiled another kernel, I'm trying make modules_install and make install but I don't get the initrd file. [21:58] spainish: have you tried pinging it? it works. please stop disrupting the channel when there are alternative ways to solve your problem.

[21:58] ghindo: What version of ubuntu are you on? and can you pastebin the output of apt-cache policy libtotem-plparser10 [21:58] Cappah hello [21:59] tim167: Is it one of those "secure" drives ( which are BS IMHO ) ? [21:59] Broadcom; How can I do that then? [21:59] bye [21:59] I want cPAnel Compatible with Ubuntu ;( [21:59] spainish if you can ping 207.5.178.19 then it's a dns issue [21:59] ldiamond-> look at your configure file and see if mkinitramfs is compiled as a module [21:59] Jordan_U: i suppose useless for installing ubuntu on it ? [21:59] HabboTom, prolly not going to happen, ebox should be a pretty viable option [21:59] el_taco, 207.5.178.19 refused me the connection too [21:59] !offtopic [21:59] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

It appears someone messed up in the packaging, and either got the wrong depends versions, or the other packages are versioned incorrectly. File a bug against this package at launchpad, as of now, there's not a whole lot you can do about it (well, there is, but it gets messy real quick). Having this held back is nothing to worry about, it won't break anything [22:07] amenado-> it is working with the other clients [22:07] Mudassar-> i want to make sure I folllow you, from your client (another host) you are trying to ping a server? [22:07] Flannel: Cool, thanks [22:07] HabboTom: Have you purchased cpanel? [22:08] ghindo: Be sure to file a bug report though, otherwise the devs won't know to look at it [22:08] Mudassar-> or you have already logged in to the remote server and then doing a ping? which one is it?> [22:08] amenado: yes I have two laptops, both running ubuntu.

[22:12] flannel: do you have a suggestion for getting sound working? i tried that link earlier and when i got to sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0 it gets a whole bunch of no such file or directory [22:12] Mudassar-> is that another host* within the same subnet where the vpn server is located/connected ? [22:12] hi [22:12] HabboTom: You can use alien to get the rpm to work, except the problem with that is that RPM based distros handle Apache an entirely different method as Ubuntu and other deb distros. Perusing the web, it looks like DirectAdmin supports Ubuntu [22:12] xFlipx> Yes. Maybe the wrong video driver, or visual effects too high for your machine [22:12] amenado, no it is different [22:12] wafflezone: Have you followed the Sound Debugging wiki page?

[22:18] !VNC [22:18] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [22:18] amenado, actually this is an assignment and we are given this configuration file with the suggestion to type this commandopenvpn --config client.ovpn [22:19] amenado, openvpn --config client.ovpn [22:19] how do i connect a desktop in windows to a linux [22:19] amenado, but it is not pinging it [22:19] hisingh1_, it is bot follow the link [22:19] Mudassar-> as an additional assignment, kindly google for openvpn tutorial and read up the tutorials for it..

[22:20] what is the GUI tool for editting NFS shares? [22:20] ?? i want to connect to a windows using a linux with VNC [22:20] Nubbie: I don't have the Window Rules plugin enabled and AFAICT it would require explicit and detailed settings for each client. Is there a big radio button for something like "Allow windows to steal focus"? [22:20] hey guys I have a problem: my home network is WPA. In gutsy, my computer using a linksys WUSB54G usb wireless adapter with ndiswrapper could connect to it. However, now that I've updated to Hardy, it can only connect to unsecure networks.

[22:20] ?? any ideas === Idzme_ is now known as Idzme [22:21] hisingh1_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH [22:21] wafflezone: Have you tried this? echo "options snd_intel8x0 index=-2" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [22:21] thanks i will check it ourt [22:21] is there any package taht'll convert midi to mp3?

[22:22] hisingh1_: SSH is just a secure protocol though which VNC screen sharing can be tunnelled though, to make it more secure. [22:22] hisingh1_: you will [22:23] etheredge, yes it does, you may need to install nfts-3g, although that seems to be in the default build now [22:23] hisingh1_, sudo apt-get VNC [22:23] what is the GUI tool for editting NFS shares? [22:23] matthew, i'm not aware of any that exist [22:23] THANKS!!, i wil try now! [22:23] matthew: they got rid of that GUI in Hardy. [22:23] matthew: your mouse :) [22:23] hisingh1_-> just a heads up, if you are going across internet links, using vnc is insecure, and a bit slower.. [22:23] matthew: there is a bug filed against the removal of that tool you should subscribe to. [22:23] whoever I was speaking with - you were right - it was something in compiz that was lagging me [22:23] hi can someone help me? [22:24] matthew: right click on the folder, pick 'share' [22:24] hisingh1_-> now within your local lan, it is fast enuff [22:24] hi... i have a problem, i have a HDA Intel sound card using alsa mixer, when im listening music in exaile for example i cant hear anything else but exaile, and if Im watching a video and listening it I cant play sounds in exaile, how do i solve that?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [22:24] On ubuntu boot (before install) I get sbin/modprobe abnormal exit [22:24] Broadcom: howcome your corporate policies not include linux?

[22:25] amenado both dont work (tried wubi) [22:25] livecd and hdd [22:25] the package is called vncviewer [22:25] CarlFK: that does samba [22:25] JontyO-> what did you do to attempt to boot from a hdd? and you have a running linux now dont you? [22:25] so in console you type vncviewer ip [22:25] Nubbie: really! that's insane. it was a good tool. how ridiculous. [22:26] etheredge, i think gparted does it [22:26] nuit!!

[22:26] any idea on how to make alsa play sounds at the same time in different players?? [22:26] matthew: hmm, I thought there was a 'network type' option... [22:26] frostburn, ive been using gparted but for some reason it wont let me choose NTFS [22:26] CarlFK: not on my system. [22:26] erm I tried booting form livecd (same error) and Wubi from inside windows to boot from hdd (same error) [22:27] how do i configure alsa?? [22:27] in vim, how can i save a file as a diff filename? open with -- vim /home/bod/blah.py save with :wq! /home/bod/blah2.py ??? [22:27] JontyO-> try the alternate cd then..i dont know if it will fix your issues [22:27] CarlFK: he is not having connection issues, he's having filesharing issues. the utility that used to encapsulate samba and nfs shares has been dropped from support in favour of a per-user right click-on-the-folder samba sharing solution.

[23:45] guardian, I'll ask around while you seek help from another here [23:45] hey everyone has anyone had any experience working with an Ipod in Ubuntu? I am attempting to get it working with Amarok and I have read a couple of the howto's and documents ive found on google and I'm still not able to get it to mount/detect [23:45] is there a single command that does "chmod +x" to all executable files?

[23:49] sFEARs, it is equivalent to the local area connection icon in winxp [23:49] Hi [23:49] there's no way to purge the settings from there halycon [23:49] !hi | The-red-queen [23:49] The-red-queen: Hi!

[23:52] hi. [23:52] sFEARs, otherwise in the terminal I believe you use iwconfig to set the wireless options [23:52] what directory is the Tango theme located? [23:52] where do themes go? [23:53] how do i search for room names on xchat? ubuntu chat etc [23:53] /list === Mr_SpOOn is now known as Mr_SpOOn[nonciso [23:53] Ubuntu_, type /list [23:53] Ubuntu_, type /list [23:53] Thanks [23:53] amenado, do you know of a way to recover UUIDs to edit ftab? [23:53] gpolo: /win 82 [23:53] sorry [23:53] where can I see the console X is running, like when you run startx manually ..... any thoughts?
