[00:00] guardian, well i would try to mount it via USB before i gave up on it, at least to recover data [00:00] I have a feisty server, is there a way using upgrade-mananger I can update to gutsy not hardy? [00:00] yep [00:00] !upgrade [00:00] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:00] hmmm irssi or xchat. [00:01] macd: you have to upgrade to gutsy before hardy anyway [00:01] anyone get ProjectM visualizations working in Hardy Heron? [00:01] 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 [00:01] music visualizations [00:01] danbhfive, ok, i am working putting together a doc of what all the "-x" are and do [00:01] ok, so if I have a program that I seem to be able to run just fine as root, how do I determine what I need to do to allow non-root users to run it? I've tried all sorts of permissions since yesterday. The program is self-contained in a folder. [00:01] how do i specify dns with ifconfig, [00:01] watch out with that man [00:01] halycon, what version ipod? [00:01] I erased my entire music collection with one click of the mouse using gtkpod [00:02] DarrenCT, it is a ipod video 30gb [00:02] danbhfive, Im well aware of this, and Im not upgrading to hardy, the upgrade wiki seems to revolve around upgrading to the current release, over a prior release, [00:02] do you know what generation it is? [00:02] windowskilla: aren't you glad it's such a simple GUI? [00:02] hey, can someone please help. ive installed ubuntu 8.04 on a Dell with ATI rage 128 ultra graphics card. I am trying to get compiz working but I get an xgl not found error and my card is not recognized by envyng [00:02] I have a question about Mounting a Striped Volume from the Live CD. LSI SAS 1068 PCI-X Controller. Shows in lspci normally but there are no /dev/sd* to mount. Suggestions? Do I need to compile driver/insert module perhaps? [00:02] SeaPhor: I didnt follow that [00:02] it's the same with Nautilus not asking you to confirm you want to delete files [00:02] does any1 no how to use ubuntu's scientific calculator to simplify fractions? [00:02] no I mean I wiped it completely out. [00:02] lol [00:02] DarrenCT, lemme see if i can find out [00:02] macd: well, cant you just stop once you hit gutsy? whats the problem? [00:03] MachinTrucChose: a very unsuccessful troll, as nautilus does ask by default if you want to delete files. [00:03] no it deleted the shit when I went too sync my playlists. [00:03] oops. [00:03] danbhfive, b/c do-release-upgrade doesnt support moving from feisty to gutsy. [00:03] boa noite [00:04] DarrenCT, I believe its 5th generation [00:04] Brasil [00:04] danbhfive, ok, i am working putting together a doc of what all the "-x" are and do, like: -x [00:04] i cant play dvds can anyone help me? i have VLC? [00:04] Whenever I try to upgrade from Gutsy (7.10) to Hardy (8.04), the upgrader fetches 15 of 23 files, and then freezes. If I click Cancel, it then brings up the list of files that were not fetched. How can I remedy this? [00:05] macd: doesnt look like that is correct: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [00:05] gdf [00:05] Im just glad it didn't crash my system like my gutsy upgrade did. [00:05] SeaPhor: I think the man pages already do that [00:05] crash and burn [00:05] Halcyon, have you installed "libgpod" from synaptic? [00:06] SeaPhor: right? please don't be insulted, but have you looked at the man pages? [00:06] danbhfive, http://pastie.caboo.se/198534 I can read documentation myself. [00:06] i installed gtkpod im not sure if that includes that tho [00:06] anyone know where to get a legacy driver for ati rage 128 ultra [00:06] Can someone point me to any presentation on what's new on Hardy? [00:06] genna, I think the vesa driver is the only option for you [00:06] macd: is feisty uptodate? [00:06] where can I get the vesa [00:06] danbhfive, none taken, i am a n00b, so i "man what"? [00:07] danbhfive, of course [00:07] SeaPhor: try this: man ls [00:07] halcyon, you know how to use synaptic? [00:07] what ubuntu you using? [00:07] danbhfive, ok, TY! :-)) [00:07] Hardy? [00:07] DarrenCT, Im using Hardy Heron and should I install libgpod0 or 3 [00:07] ? [00:07] macd: well, I dunno, sounds like a bug to me, but I would just drop the tool, and do a manual upgrade [00:08] eventually Ill figure out how to use irssi. lol [00:08] macd, does vesa support compiz [00:08] genna: nope [00:08] genna : not very good if at all. [00:08] genna, according to ati, the ATI driver in the repos will work, but provides no 3d acceleration, meaning your card is to old to run compiz. [00:08] hey i installed xp on a seperate partition and i think it messed up swusp (hibernate) and now my comptuer wont hibernate [00:08] I need to export the display from one Ubuntu system to another... I tried issuing the "export DISPLAY=:1.0" command in terminal... but it's not working... what am I doing wrong? [00:08] danbhfive, "do-release-upgrade" think about that ;) release...... [00:08] you installed xp on the computer first or second? [00:09] second windowskilla [00:09] Really quick question. Need to grep for foo OR bar in a file. How? [00:09] macd, even though it supports 3d [00:09] macd: think about what? I don't follow [00:09] that stinks [00:09] libgpod3 should install everything you need Halcyon [00:09] danbhfive, its for upgrading to the current release from the previous, nothing else. [00:09] DarrenCT, yeah it says it was installed already [00:09] Halcyon, then you just tell Amarok what version of Ipod you have [00:10] im not sure where it is mounting [00:10] or if it is mounting it [00:10] #ubuntu-ro [00:10] Built a USB bootable 8.04 but having trouble with persistency. The USB boots ok into persistency mode but on reboot no changes are saved. Had a quick look at the casper-rw partition under partition manager and it is an unknown filesystem and it is not mounted. Any ideas? [00:10] Whenever I try to upgrade from Gutsy (7.10) to Hardy (8.04), the upgrader fetches 15 of 23 files, and then freezes. If I click Cancel, it then brings up the list of files that were not fetched. How can I remedy this? [00:10] it says "cannot find swap device" and something else but it closes too fast for me to read [00:10] danbhfive, i am looking for other stuff, like what the " -phigh" in "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" means, and that kind-of things [00:10] anyone know how I can sorta pin my term window to the desktop? [00:10] Nighteyes, could you pastebin the upgrade log that it outputs. [00:10] Halycon, do you see it mounted on the desktop? [00:10] DarrenCT, no its not [00:10] also [00:10] SeaPhor, at the bottom of the man page for dpkg, it shows see also, one of those contains all of that [00:11] anyone remember the command to pump the output of a shell script to a virtual terminal, so you can run the shell script thru a ssh session and then end the session without killing the script_ [00:11] Anyone have luck using scim-anthy is Skype? I have tried scim-bridge, xim , but it doesn't seem to let me do it [00:11] open a term, and type "df" this will show what is mounted [00:11] where do i go to report a piece of merchendise broken on delivery [00:11] macd: yeah, clearly its broken, You could file a bug report maybe, But, unless you want to do a manual upgrade, I can't help further, sorry [00:11] no its not mounted [00:11] macd, cool, thanks [00:11] genna, yes it does, but its very antiquated hardware. [00:11] I have my mouse, and it's an MX600. The zoom in/out buttons are already mapped to volume control, but I can't figure out where they're mapped at. I have compiz enabled. Where can I determine what is causing them to do volume up/down? [00:11] danbhfive, its not broken! its designed that way ;P [00:11] in my dmesg I am getting the following [00:11] danbhfive, and yes a bit of sed and some apt can upgrade it anyways. [00:12] [ 2082.769212] FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors [00:12] [ 2082.769229] VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb2. [00:12] SeaPhor: did you try: man dpkg-reconfigure ? [00:12] and dmesg also says some stuff about sdc but i tried mounting that and it wouldnt work [00:12] Hmm... sounds like the ipod might have a damaged file system?! [00:12] I need to export the display from one Ubuntu system to another... I tried issuing the "export DISPLAY=:1.0" command in terminal... but it's not working... what am I doing wrong? (3rd and last try for the day... looked around on google a bit but nothing seems to be working... help appreciated) [00:12] is this a new ipod? [00:12] it works in windows [00:12] macd, is there a way to at least get the normal visual effects since extra doesnt work [00:12] i have a problem with apache2..it's doesn't work on my address (example: google.ro) but it's working on LocalHost...i wanted to change something in httpd.conf but it's nothing there... [00:13] genna, honestly I dont think so [00:13] alright thanks [00:13] genna, compiz wasnt written with that old of hardware in mind [00:13] hhmm..... did you first use it in windows? [00:13] macd, Pastebin says that the upgrade log is triggering the spam filter. [00:13] the very first time? [00:13] genna, but you could prolly pickup something cheap that would run it great, anything nvidia, unless its a laptop then well, sorry ;) [00:13] DarrenCT, I have lots of stuff on it [00:13] I used it with itunes [00:13] Nighteyes, classic, try http://pastie.caboo.se [00:14] Built a USB bootable 8.04 but having trouble with persistency. The USB boots ok into persistency mode but on reboot no changes are saved. Had a quick look at the casper-rw partition under partition manager and it is an unknown filesystem and it is not mounted. Any ideas? [00:14] you are familiar with mounting drives ?? [00:14] ok thanks [00:14] hardy + amarok + ipodmini 2gen = work? no works :( It worked with gutsy... [00:14] DarrenCT, to be honest I havent really done it [00:14] if you can't get it to mount, there might be a problem [00:14] DarrenCT, to be honest I just copied the command from a document i found on google [00:14] hello my friend i have a problem i can't use WINE ! there are my past with différent error ! http://pastebin.com/m50169ce5 if someone can help me ? [00:14] Hey everyone, I have little problem, when i play music btw sounds okay but not what I expected.

The zoom in/out buttons are already mapped to volume control, but I can't figure out where they're mapped at. I have compiz enabled. Where can I determine what is causing them to do volume up/down? [00:15] Nighteyes, ah, I see, just wait a while and try again, that indicates the mirrors are heavily loaded [00:15] high [00:16] how can i link a directory? [00:16] Nighteyes, or you can use another set of mirrors [00:16] ln ? [00:16] i'm updating an Ubuntu 7.10 desktop concerning the OpenSSL/SSH problems, apt-get ugprade is telling me that openssh-client openssh-server ssl-cert package will not be upgraded, is it normal ? [00:17] quit [00:17] sorry Halcyon, gotta run... work on getting it mounted first "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/ipod" where sdb1 is whatever your ipod is when you do "fdisk -l" to show all disks, and their location [00:17] Thanks macd, I'll just wait till tomorrow then do it. [00:17] danbhfive, yes, but i dont see the -phigh or -i, or g. maybe thats why im having trouble on the man pages [00:17] DarrenCT, okay thanks for your help [00:17] psycose, no they should be upgraded, at console, could you type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and see if that happens again [00:17] SeaPhor: do you see -p ? [00:17] danbhfive, yes, priority [00:18] macd, ok so may be when i will run it again it will upgrade them ... [00:18] SeaPhor: so it means priority 'high' [00:18] danbhfive, hi? [00:18] i'm trying to enable the restricted drivers for the bcm43 but when I go to Hardware Drivers, its not listed there [00:18] psycose, possibly lets try and see if that helps, if not we can take another avenue [00:18] can anyone tell me how to get X-Chat to automatically log you in at startup? [00:19] psycose, but the output from the console will tell us if they are intentionally being held back or if its an error [00:19] Hi guys, whenever an application uses the wifi on my machine it lags untill its stopped -- like my machine will be really jumpy the mouse laggy and it doesnt stop untill firefox finishes loading the page, this also happens with apt so its not a FF prob,.,. anything that uses the internet causes it,. cpu spikes to 60%-100% -- what can cause this and is there a fix? [00:19] ~karma amarok [00:19] SeaPhor: that tells dpkg-reconfigure to only ask questions that are marked with the highest priority === Petto_ is now known as Petto [00:19] macd may be i can just see if someone pin-point them ? do you remember the command ? [00:19] Why does it say "Manual page make(1) line 112/162 (END)" is the end when it is only at page 112 out of 162 in man pages?

[01:05] compiz on a via is like windows 95 with an 386dx40 [01:05] hi [01:05] sparr, I was hoping to not have to reboot first, but it looks like that may be my only solution [01:06] zChris: it's not on modprobe, it's on connecting a device. dmesg shows a bunch of "new high speed USB blah blah using address 78" or so. Then it gives a "port 4 reset error -110" and then a "hub_port_status failed (err = -32)" after that [01:06] i can't install real player at 8.04 [01:06] macd: look into the possibility of a lock file. im not really sure how dpkg stuff locks [01:06] i have error [01:06] visof: count yourself lucky [01:06] alteregoa, I did win95 on a 386 sx25, my friends 486dx was smoking in comparison [01:06] sparr, yeah I rm;d the lockfiles already, Ive never encountered this before [01:06] i hate those slowape systems [01:06] macd: put on a flame-proof suit and ask in #debian [01:07] sparr, heheh, or just reboot and save face ;) [01:07] cycletronic: i assume you tried several ports? [01:07] alteregoa, how are the genode procs? I am trying to get this in under 1.5k installed [01:07] via is dead [01:07] is there a program that shows me information to my movies that i have on disk? best would be over a webinterface [01:07] Hi. [01:07] zChris: yes, a few, but perhaps I should try all of them... there are 7 to try... [01:07] they even can't build working chipsets [01:07] scythefwd, same if not worse, the geodes instruction sets are what I call "whack" [01:07] alteregoa, please take offtopic chat to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [01:07] they have its knowledge from cyrix [01:07] adac: look into mythtv. its way more than what you need, but it can do that [01:07] How can I create a new user in mysql?

[01:25] arooni-mobile: seems it wasn't upgraded... you need to run the upgrade again... and make sure it completes successfully [01:25] bazhang: opening it and it says no music on it, and the music players [01:25] 50% sudobash [01:25] http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Media_Device:MTP [01:26] ifireball, how do i run that [01:26] does anyone know any gears of war channel [01:26] belorix23112, does it mount okay [01:26] sudo apt-get install amarok [01:26] or something [01:26] ifireball, sorry !!!!!!! i mean there's ONLY hardy there and NO GUTSY [01:26] !ot | jeleta [01:26] jeleta: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

I went through the guided set up and now it gives me an error 17 cannot mount the hard drive. [01:27] asclepius28, ubuntu uses ext3 not NTFS [01:27] bazhang, no [01:27] lol [01:27] ubuntu supports NTFS [01:27] but not as systemdrive [01:27] arooni-mobile: ok. and the servers themselves, are they the same or different between the laptop and desktop? [01:27] alteregoa: except under wubi [01:27] well yes but it uses ext3 [01:27] you cannot install ubuntu to NTFS [01:27] but yes it supports ntfs [01:27] asclepius28, you tried to instal ubuntu of ntfs? [01:27] and i would rather to use XFS for the system [01:28] yeah [01:28] ext3 is obsolete , my opinion [01:28] to read and write with ntfs-3g which is now in default install [01:28] it installed all the way through and boots up with grub, but now it just cant mount [01:28] alteregoa, express it somewhere else [01:28] ifireball: thats the problem i'm having now, the properties window won't create for anything with a *.mkv extension, thats why I am asking how to manually reset it (where can I manually edit the mimes) [01:28] but you can not use ubuntu on an ntfs partition [01:28] or install it to ntfs partition [01:29] it uses ext2/ext3 and swap among a few other choices [01:29] what is the best solution as i dont want to reformat my entire drive again (320 gig) takes forever [01:29] use gparted, resize the NTFS partition [01:29] bazhang, no it isnt mounting properly [01:29] belorix23112, what errors do you get? [01:29] belorix23112, I read about that on the ubuntuforums iirc [01:29] is gparted on linux im running the live cd right now [01:29] Yes [01:29] yes [01:29] sudo apt-get install gparted [01:29] go to the terminal type gparted [01:29] Nope [01:30] sudo gparted [01:30] not nessisary [01:30] is it on live cd? [01:30] modsda, no erros just wont see any songs on the player itself [01:30] thats cool [01:30] Yes sudobasg [01:30] okay awesome thanks. so i need to reinstall linux? [01:30] so if anyone can just give me a straight answer of where gnome manages its file extensions that would be much appreciated [01:30] how do i get rid of what i just installed [01:30] bodsda, no errors jsut isnt recognizing any song from the MP3 player itseld [01:30] m0u5e, ubuntu has no file extensions [01:30] go download the text base installer and reformat useing that [01:30] it is all in the file header [01:30] m0u5e: that's weird... well do some digging in the hidden .gnome and .gnome2 directories in your home folder, it should be in there somewhere, probably stored as a bunch of *.desktop files [01:30] Bodsda: but it remembers how to open each file, what applications have priority [01:30] belorix23112, it should just recognize it as a mass storage device [01:31] yeah those extensions are the legacy of cp/m [01:31] qdos crap [01:31] can anyone help me create a virtual machine? [01:31] ifireball: i did, i deleted a few files hoping it would reset, but nothing has changed [01:31] m0u5e, it knows of file type yes [01:31] Hi, I'm trying to install the ndstgk program as referenced in https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/ndiswrapper.html but it isn't acknowledging that it exists. [01:31] Can anybody advise me? [01:31] tmapj come channel #flip [01:31] !vm | tmapj [01:31] tmapj: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications === termagan1 is now known as temagant [01:31] Bodsda: why does it no longer generate property windows for anything of .mkv extension then? [01:31] tmapj come channel #flip [01:31] Bodsda: whats up with that? [01:32] m0u5e, only vlc will play that iirc [01:32] where does apt-get install apache2-src store files ? [01:32] m0u5e: you need logout and log back in or at least force-restart nautilus for such changes to take affect [01:32] someday usb gets better [01:32] m0u5e, right click on a file with that extention and go to properties then open with tab, then specify what you want to open it [01:32] bazhang: that is not true, mplayer plays it as well, and if you gstreamer that allows mkv playback it will work [01:32] ifireball: I've done all that [01:32] it says i have a file system ext 3 with 4.40 gigs used and 290 unused with a boot flag [01:32] termagan1 you need to specify repositories for what you are downloading (where really) in /etc/sources.list [01:32] m0u5e, hmm; my apologies I stand corrected :) [01:32] Bodsda: as i said before, properties windows do not generate for *.mkv files [01:32] i mean /etc/apt/sources.list [01:32] Oh, okay. How do I know where the file is? It doesn't say in the help document. [01:33] m0u5e, properties windows?? [01:33] is anyone else experiencing a package break with libtotem-plparser10 currently? [01:33] Does anyone knows a good desktop recording application that can save files as AVI or MPG4 ? [01:33] when i try to "sudo aptitude full-upgrade" i get libtotem-plparser10 as a broken dep [01:33] termagan1 it should give you the repos on that page [01:33] m0u5e: well, its actually the 1st time I've heard of nautilus not showing property windows at all, what happens exactly? the option doesn't show up on the menu? [01:33] nm [01:34] Taras: try pitivi editor [01:34] sudobash: it doesn't, though... [01:34] ifireball: it does, but it just stays at "generating properties window" and stops [01:34] Install ndisgtk (System → Administration → Synaptic Package Manager). is all it says [01:34] ok [01:34] to be exact it says "Creating Properties window: You can stop this operation by clicking cancel" === Byan_ is now known as Byan [01:35] Under gparted its says my /dev/sdb1 with filesystem ext3, wouldnt it say NTFS if that was indeed what it was under? [01:35] asclepius28, sure [01:35] yeah if you have installed ubuntu succesfully you probably used ext3 and swap [01:35] asclepius28, so your problem lies elsewhere [01:35] m0u5e, must be a prob with your nautilus,. it works forme [01:35] m0u5e: weird indeed, well, do the blank user test, e.g. create a new user account and log in to it and see if its got the problem as well, to figure out weather its a global system problem or just with your account [01:35] you must have been confused or something [01:36] or maybe i am [01:36] Taras: ive not recorded myself but I an recomend you try UbuntuStudio - it has many record progs installed [01:36] asclepius28, this was grub error 17? this is a dual boot or not [01:36] Bodsda: i realize that... thats why I am asking if I can find out whats up with that -__-; [01:36] sudobash, ok,drivers downloaded,. what am i looking for? [01:36] ifireball: okay will try that thx [01:36] hi all, I set up compix (selected Preferences-->Appearance-->Visual Effects--->Extra). Then moved onto Preferences-->Advanced Desktop settings. Later, I put my visual effects back to" NONe" because of some problems. When I went back to "Extra" my previous compiz settings were forgotten. Do you have any ideas how I can save my compiz settings? [01:36] m0u5e, oh, sorry -- misunderstanding [01:36] compiz [01:36] heyall [01:36] !compiz [01:36] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:37] did you read that link i gave you it showed you how to get the drivers in with ndiswrapper better than i could tell you [01:37] anyone familiar with hamachi? [01:37] Well i made the mistake of loading ubuntu earlier on my external and it installed grub on my first hard drive with windows and then i used supergrub to fix my MBR and then reformatted the external and loaded ubuntu fresh [01:37] sudobash, ok [01:37] thanks [01:37] putting it grub on the second [01:37] !hamachi [01:37] Factoid hamachi not found [01:37] http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic67003.html [01:37] lol [01:37] !random [01:37] Factoid random not found [01:37] lol [01:37] im done. O.o [01:37] i installed that [01:37] but i cannot ping anything [01:37] whatever [01:38] maybe the ham0 bridge isn't working [01:38] asclepius28 well if you have any files you overwrote you might be able to still recover them just use GetDataBack [01:38] But even searching the repositories for ndisgtk or ndis comes up with no results. [01:38] altergoo: why does pinging matter? [01:38] So now 5 hrs later i reinstalled it to find that it cannot mount it now, but i assumed that ubuntu created the ext3 filesystem for me as i have it full reign of the external hd [01:38] altergoo: wait, nevermind. [01:39] I was able to fix it so when the external isnt plugged in it boots straight to window and when the external is plugged in it goes straight to grub, now it just cant mount the drive [01:39] asclepius28, why not share with xp/vista and use external as storage? you can fix current situation by reinstalling grub [01:39] hi..all.. how to install hibernate and spring in ubuntu? [01:39] when I start my laptop, there's a beep sound.. It started after I configured my ethernet card with the latest firmware... anyone know how to stop the beep? [01:39] bazhang: Hey! [01:39] yeah reinstall grub but use the SuperGrub Disk [01:39] asclepius28, update grub [01:39] trelayne: turn off the internal Vol.? [01:39] Arkaniad, yes? === terrestre is now known as abe [01:39] okay, you think i could just use supergrub [01:40] sudobash, this is not good -- Error: no ndiswrapper utils found! [01:40] even though i just installed it on a fresh hard drive? [01:40] SuperGrub Disk is your Friend [01:40] bazhang: you are like always here. [01:40] trelayne: might be a setting in the bios too. may I ask what laptop & model you have? [01:40] Arkaniad, I've turned off the volume and beep in Ubuntu, but that does not help === abe is now known as terrestre [01:40] Arkaniad, do you have a support question or just want to chit chat [01:40] sudobash: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper?? [01:40] Inspiron 6400 [01:40] tabidachi, [01:40] bazhang: i am here to help. [01:41] So am i correct in thinking that if it was the file system gparted would tell me it was NTFS? [01:41] asclepius28, nm about that; just update grub [01:41] tabidachi, I know when I got my computer and I had windoze installed, it would not beep, so figured it was something in linux.. === recon_etc is now known as recon [01:41] how do i go about that? i really am brand new with ubuntu [01:42] trelayne: just a second, I'm looking this up [01:42] thank you tabidachi [01:42] ima go. [01:42] .quit [01:42] sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils [01:42] my bad its been a while since i have used ndiswrapper [01:42] sudobash: That didn't work either. [01:42] NOne of it is wokring. [01:42] tabidachi, what's interesting is that when I had 7.10, I used ndiswrapper and it would beep twice [01:42] arooni-mobile: still there? [01:42] hi guys, someone knows about how to print in the comand line a specific line from a file ? any comand can do this ?

[01:47] u dont know the make and model f your laptop u just bought [01:47] ? [01:48] I don't remember. [01:48] m0u5e: I suggest you start backtracking and uninstalling "weird" packages that may have to do with MKV, seems on of them may cause nautilus to try and do something too complex when displaying the properties window [01:48] Flannel, then I have to cut the number and just let print the text [01:48] carlos: then you'd use tail and head, to print the first N lines, and then take only the last line of that. [01:48] carlos: What? [01:48] hola [01:48] i'm sorry the question but someone knows why [01:48] ifireball: whats weird is that it doesn't eat up cpu cycles, it just does nothing... like the properties windows for mkv doesnt even exist [01:48] i am trying to figure the same thing u r lol but im useing a dell inspiron 1525 [01:48] m0u5e: nobody ever said its gonna be that easy...

[04:35] sudobash: ok can you help me, cause I don't know how to do that part [04:35] Indygufreak is a newb :P [04:35] Can alien do the rpm > deb conversions on a mounted file? [04:35] sudobash: Will do [04:35] you will find one that works properly... also always start the bin script from nvidia with sudo or as root whichever [04:35] IndyGunFreak, do you know the best person to ask on this issue? have to reset wireless card after every restart [04:35] Thanks everyone!!!!! I got a wireless signal of 80% 60 Feet from the ap using the inside chip!!!! Thanks Sudobash! [04:35] can anyone help me with some stuff on ubuntu? [04:35] Can someone help me mount a SD card? [04:35] and wat about emesene? it uses gnome... :) [04:35] dmesg gives me :error -110 whilst initialising SDIO card [04:36] ndiswrapper worked cool? [04:36] When I ran the command I got a bunch of "mkdir: cannot create directory 'blah': Read-only file system [04:36] steve_ what you need [04:36] !emesene [04:36] Emesene is an instant messenger for the WLM network. See http://emesene.org for more information. [04:36] SDIO card claims to support the incompletely defined 'low voltage range'. This will be ignored. [04:36] sudobash, ohh yeah, i got more signal on here than windows! [04:36] SeaPhor: is it ran by ndiswrapper? [04:36] I'm installing ubuntu on a laptop, and I've tried installing it a few times with wubi and a few times straight off the CD, but each time it locks up at 15% installation. I ran memtest, but I wasn't around when it ended. [04:36] lol [04:36] i need to know how to install programs [04:36] Has anyone seen this? [04:36] I'm trying to add a resolution to screen resolutions in Ubuntu 8.04 [04:36] IndyGunFreak, yes [04:36] !synaptic | steve__ [04:36] steve__: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [04:36] Jburrke: NTFS? [04:36] im new to ubuntu and linux [04:36] Can anyone help with that? [04:36] sudobash, now i just hope it dont die [04:37] !apt | steve__ [04:37] steve__: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [04:37] dmsuperman: ntfs? Oo [04:37] guys sme help with my splash screen [04:37] :-D [04:37] shouldnt... [04:37] steve_: welcome. [04:37] SeaPhor: does ndiswrapper start on boot up, or do you have to start it manually? [04:37] u can use aptitude... [04:37] Jburrke: is the filesystem you're trying to write to NTFS? [04:37] IndyGunFreak, ( i finally have mine working BTW) :-) [04:37] if it does come back and see us [04:37] hi [04:37] sudobash: ok is network suppose to be my DNS entry [04:37] * clintchanc1 kisses the laptop [04:37] !aptitude | steve [04:37] steve: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [04:37] dmsuperman: I have no idea, what's ntfs and how would I know lol [04:37] dns is for domain name resoloution [04:37] SeaPhor: i seem to remember you having an issue, wasn't it realtek?.. ive been out of the loop for a week or so. [04:37] IndyGunFreak, with someone sent to me for wireless issue, but is a boot isssue [04:37] Jburrke: well what's the path of the folder you're trying to create [04:38] I'll just paste bin it dmsuperman [04:38] Jburrke, ntfs = windows filesystem :P [04:38] IndyGunFreak, i fixed it! [04:38] guys can any 1 of u read what im typing [04:38] sudobash: I followed this http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/319 to the T and i can get to any website [04:38] yes tv7497 [04:38] spanther: not always, FAT is also used by windows and that would allow writes ;) [04:38] IndyGunFreak, this is for someone i'm helping now [04:38] tv7497: yes! [04:38] steve__ come channel flip [04:38] dmsuperman, fat is not ntfs! :P [04:38] SeaPhor: oh ok.. well, it sounds like you need to add ndiswrapper to your start up, or modprobe it or soething [04:39] steve__ /j #flip2405\ [04:39] dmsuperman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12643/ [04:39] spanther: exactly what i'm saying [04:39] sudobash: I meant can't get to any website [04:39] wow then any 1 of read my post about my splash screen [04:39] Jburrke: I'm in commandline, I can't much open it [04:39] Anyone have problems using IDJC to connect to shoutcast? [04:39] Jburrke: Just tell me the path of the folder you want to create [04:39] dmsuperman: Damn. [04:39] SeaPhor: have they addd ndiswrapper to modprobe? [04:39] IndyGunFreak, he does, every time he restarts [04:39] dmsuperman, ntfs-3g <-- heard about it is able to open and write on ntfs hehe :) [04:39] dmsuperman: it's a few branches into /mnt/disk/maya [04:39] sudobash everything internally works like I'm actually connected to the machine remotely from a different pc, but only internal IP work [04:40] spanther: Yeah, if this turns out to be an ntfs partition that's what i'll suggest, but i want make sure it's not FAT before we try to use ntfs-3g on it ;) [04:40] is there an application that helps me configure grub or do i have to do that manually in some config file? [04:40] SeaPhor: well that indicates he's not adding it correctly or something... is he saving it? [04:40] right well you might have to automaticlly set your dns so you need to figure out what that is and set it in /etc/resolv.conf [04:40] Jburrke: alright, do "sudo fdisk -l" in your command line [04:40] i heard my story being told somewhere around here... :) ignore me... [04:40] dmsuperman, aaah i see :D hehe okay [04:40] dmsuperman: Okay [04:40] guys my boot screen / splash screen not working i need to hit ctrl-alt-f1 every time after grub [04:40] reya https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/2248 [04:40] alexbOrsova, speak up bro [04:40] yo [04:40] Jburrke: There should be something that looks like whatever drive that folder is mounted as [04:41] dmsuperman: Yeah [04:41] Is there a way to display where drives are mounted, in the CLI? [04:41] Jburrke: What's the Filesystem [04:41] Who hasnt been helped yet [04:41] Jburrke: sorry, just System [04:41] Hello. I installed the most recent version of ubnutu on my laptop, and the fan won't turn on, so it overheats. [04:41] flip2405: tv7497 hasn't [04:41] indi: yo [04:41] flip2405: as far as i know [04:41] I'm having some problems, too. [04:41] :) [04:42] IndyGunFreak, name is alexbOrsova , he's new and trying to talk to you [04:42] f4rr4r: df [04:42] reya you will have to set your gateway also before you will be able to access inet that would be like a router of some sort [04:42] dmsuperman: thank you. [04:42] SeaPhor: then he needs to say my whole name..lol [04:42] dmsuperman: I cant see anything that would relate to that folder, but I do see hpfs/ntfs under one area [04:42] IndyGunFreak: yello [04:42] is there an application that helps me configure grub or do i have to do that manually in some config file? I want to edit the time until it automatically loads a OS and the prefered OS, [04:42] flip2405: can you help me with a screen resolution issuee? [04:42] sudobash: I did that too [04:42] Jburrke: Actually yeah I forgot about that haha. Do "df" in a command prompt [04:42] yes [04:42] bill [04:42] dmsuperman: the rest say unknown, system, linux, extended, and linux swap/solaris [04:42] dmsuperman: lol okay [04:42] alexbOrsova: are you sure you added it correctly to your modprobe list? [04:42] Hey what is the best wireless card and/or wireless chipset for linux that has drivers currently built into the kernel, and is strong, it needs WPA encryption and to be atleast G (N is okay too) [04:42] hmm... just noticed that my "refresh rate" is at 53mhz when it should be at 75mhz. [04:42] Jburrke: Look on the right, you'll see a /mnt/disk/maya or /mnt/disk [04:43] flip2405: I havbe ubuntu 8.04. [04:43] bil1 check pm [04:43] Jburrke: find the corresponding Filesystem to the left of that [04:43] IndyGunFreak, ty, [04:43] so you have a good gateway and good dns positive? [04:43] IndyGunFreak: what do you mean by correctly? I've been doing "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" to add it [04:43] I clocked the crap out of my stuff = asus + amd4600+ corsair 800 + nvidia 7600 ....my processor is @ 1.3 volts and is clocked @ 11x..what command can i use to get the actual clock speed...besides cat? [04:43] Is there a solution to force change the refresh rate to 75mhz? [04:43] hmm, [04:43] bill [04:43] bil1 type /j #flip [04:43] dmsuperman: gvfs-fuse-daemon sound right? [04:44] sudobash: check PM [04:44] Previously I had slack 12 on it, which turned on the fan fine. I think it is a kernel issue, because I got into /proc/acpi/fan, and it is empty [04:44] Jburrke: sounds right, but sadly I'm not familiar with it. Somebody else will have to help you figure it out :( [04:44] BIl1 [04:44] dmsuperman: there are two, one ends with maya.iso (the file i'm mounting) and the other ends in mnt/disk [04:44] Cyntek: if you are using an nvidia card, its a known bug [04:44] dmsuperman: but the mnt/disk one has a blank filesystem [04:45] Jburrke: Oh, it's an iso? [04:45] alexbOrsova: i really don't know why you'd have to do that.., what wireless card are you using? [04:45] which is weird and unfortunate, because all the other acpi stuff (battery, suspend, etc. works just dandy) [04:45] I am using an evga 7950gt ko 512 card [04:45] dmsuperman: Yeah I'm mounting an iso [04:45] Jburrke: You won't be able to directly create a folder in it, as far as I know, without some sort of other tool [04:45] hanbhfive: is there a work a round for it [04:45] dmsuperman: So extract the files somewhere else? (would that work? Oo) [04:45] is there an application that helps me configure grub or do i have to do that manually in some config file? I want to edit the time until it automatically loads a OS and the prefered OS, [04:45] IndyGunFreak: broadcom wireless minipci card, do you need the specific chipset? [04:46] Cyntek: whats the problem [04:46] need to force change my refresh rate [04:46] alexbOrsova: no.. [04:46] strange thing... on 7.10, my nfs shares are not being mounted automatically on boot, but they are fine in my fstab (mount -a mounts them).. what "init script" is required for automatic nfs mouting? === cyclonut is now known as cyclo|sleep [04:46] Jburrke: eh, if all you need to do is get access to those files. If you're wanting to make the change to the ISO, you need other software (i'm pretty sure, could be wrong though) [04:46] alexbOrsova: are you using hardy? [04:46] it's set to 53mhz and needs to be at 75mhz [04:46] did you install nvidia settings manager in the repros? [04:46] IndyGunFreak: 8.04. [04:46] Is nouveau in synaptic? [04:47] Cyntek: the listed refreshes are wrong, if you want the highest supported value, then just pick the highest listed value. I pick 53hz, and I get something like 75hz [04:47] dmsuperman: I've got access.. I'm trying to use alien to change the rpm files to deb files [04:47] IndyGunFreak: sorry, i don't know the name for it :) [04:47] alexbOrsova: wasn't there a new package added to hardy, so you didn't need to use ndiswrapper? [04:47] its set at 53mhz [04:47] dmsuperman: But alien cant do it because I cant create directories [04:47] hello [04:47] Jburrke: make a directory elsewhere, on your local filesystem [04:47] IndyGunFreak: was there? I don't know [04:47] anyone here having problems with setting up splashy on ubuntu 8.04 ? [04:47] Cyntek: install that...then reboot. to allow X to see it..then come back [04:47] can alien specify a directory to output them in? I'm sure it can... [04:47] whoever wanted the grub editor, try google http://www.ubuntugeek.com/qgrubeditor-a-visual-grub-configuration-editor.html [04:47] IndyGunFreak: I've done the same thing for the past four ubuntu versions [04:48] IndyGunFreak: this is the first tmie it hasn't worked [04:48] alexbOrsova: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Hardy [04:48] Jburrke: If alien can specify an output directory, just specify one on your local drive [04:49] the default status is set to 53mhz i have been rebooting since i successfully installed the restricted drivers. [04:49] IndyGunFreak: ok, but [04:49] dmsuperman: ah, good idea.. But I'm not sure if that's even possible, and if it was I wouldnt even know what to do cuz I'm following a guide XD [04:49] well have fun then Cyntek [04:49] IndyGunFreak: that's not exactly the same thing [04:49] Oh, and I know the fan isn't physically broken, because it turn on during suspend/resume. [04:49] thanks for the help [04:49] IndyGunFreak: i wasn't using bcm43xxx in the first place. Im using ndiswrapper and it works [04:49] Jburrke: what's the command to run alien? [04:49] IndyGunFreak: I just don't understand why it doesn't automatically load the module at startup [04:50] alexbOrsova: my point is, you shouldn't need ndiswrapper.. but honestly, i really don't know why you have to modprobe it every time, makes no sense [04:50] Any idea why when a boot from disk ubuntu still says its loadinging after 30 minutes [04:50] dmsuperman: sudo apt-get install csh alien [04:50] I am useing k9copy to backup some movie dvds i have. I put a check mark in all the titlesets, click DVD at the top, put in the name of the iso file and click save, It appears to run and compress the movie, but a ISO is never made. [04:50] I burned it at 8x [04:50] then you type for i in *.rpm; do sudo alien -cv $i; done [04:50] IndyGunFreak: btw, im reading the page and i dont see ndiswrapper mentioned [04:51] When you're CD'd into the directory with the rpms [04:51] whats the command line to inter xorg.conf [04:51] IndyGunFreak, his wireless works, just he has to reset it every reboot to make it work [04:51] dmsuperman: sorry I didnt write your name, forgot XD [04:51] enter* [04:51] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg === Dew420 is now known as Dew420[a] [04:51] what does this mean? kernel: [84723.372068] ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [04:51] dmsuperman: Omg I feel so stupid, I skipped a whole line in the guide [04:51] Jburrke: heh [04:51] IndyGunFreak: so whoudl I try a different driver or keep modprobing? [04:52] dmsuperman: It says clearly on the guide "Copy all the rpm files into a local directory" [04:52] Jburrke: lol [04:52] whe dvd burners etc try to start they become 'uninteruptible' [04:52] Jburrke: that would do it [04:52] dmsuperman: Lmao, thanks for the help anyways [04:52] help [04:52] halp? [04:52] some one experianced in xchat pm me pls [04:52] flip2405: try #xchat [04:53] No i just need some one to test something for me [04:53] alexbOrsova: i honestly don't know.. [04:53] I am useing k9copy to backup some movie dvds i have. I put a check mark in all the titlesets, click DVD at the top, put in the name of the iso file and click save, It appears to run and compress the movie, but a ISO is never made. [04:53] Does anyone know if this is normal? [04:53] anyone using splashy ? [04:53] what does this mean? kernel: [84723.372068] ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen [04:53] Cyntek: R U going for broke = the leats bootage to annoy the helpers as you cry for help?...just asking. [04:54] Jburrke: no problems [04:54] Has anyone successfully been able to upload to what.cd in ubuntu? [04:54] dmsuperman: THERE we go.. Thanks a lot XD [04:54] least* [04:54] IndyGunFreak: ubuntu doesn't even recognize my card without ndiswrapper, though, so Im not usre if there is a diff. driver, you know? [04:54] hello is it possible to use the free space of my windows partition to install ubuntu, or can i repartition the free space without reinstalling windows? [04:55] alexbOrsova: i don't thinkt he driver is the issue, if it was a driver problem, it wouldn't work === dmsuperman is now known as dmsuperman_ [04:55] dmsuperman: silly me, the cursor still jumps in firefox 2 [04:55] Jburrke, figured everything out then? [04:56] dmsuperman: it could be a touchpad sensitivity issue as per on of the threads [04:56] bingoer, ? [04:56] dmsuperman: Actually, not at all.. Just the very first bit [04:56] dmsuperman: silly me, the cursor still jumps in firefox 2 [04:56] dmsuperman: it could be a touchpad sensitivity issue as per one of the threads [04:56] bingoer, Oh, missed that. I was just switching IRC clients [04:56] dmsuperman: The hardest part hasnt even come, and I need some major help with it, but i cant really talk about it here xD [04:56] IndyGunFreak: exactly my train of thought, so then why is ssb still loading instead of ndiswrapper even though ssb is blacklisted [04:57] guys my splash screen not working [04:57] dmsuperman: When I get there, you think I could pm you and get some help? :D [04:57] alexbOrsova: i wish i could give you an answer, i have no idea. [04:57] bingoer, Perhaps. I know on my dad's laptop, you'll accidently barely brush the touchpad and click elsewhere, very obnoxious [04:57] tv7497: be honest..what did you do to it. [04:57] bingoer, luckily his has a little button to disable/enable the touchpad [04:57] i get errors when i update because gnome-desktop-data_1%3a2.22.1-0ubuntu6.2_all.deb cant be accessed. how can i fix the package [04:57] Jburrke, Feel free, but there's no guarentees I'll be any help :P [04:57] IndyGunFreak: olright, thanks for trying anyway === leo_ is now known as terrestre [04:57] nothing its been after my upgarde to hardy this problem statrted [04:57] dmsuperman: i was actually very careful to keep my palms away from the touchpad so I'm still not convinced [04:58] dmsuperman: Haha no worries, it's worth a try, right? :D [04:58] *at xcell [04:58] Jburrke, sure [04:58] ok, what is it doing..maybe Ican help [04:58] bingoer, Try and lift your hands completely up and type with fingertyips, very quickly, I'd say that's a proper test [04:58] :) [04:58] Hi, I plugged in my network cable into Ubuntu 8.04 hoefully it will detect the local settings, I have an issue identifying the network? any suggestions, please? [04:59] Guys is there a way to expand my diskspace from within ubuntu? [04:59] xcell : it goes blank totally blank no out put to monitor then i need ro press ctrl-alt-f1 to get text based ubuntu loading [04:59] clintchanc1: i imagine gparted would do it. [04:59] dmsuperman: hmm, it worked [05:00] Ubuntu isn't working with my IBM PC Server SCSI drives. [05:00] bingoer, Now all you have to do is find a way to set a hotkey to disable the touchpad [05:00] I installed wine and then world of warcraft the game ran fine, then I installed burning crusade and now it crashes at the screen to accept the ToS, anyone know a fix? [05:00] Ok I have an interesting question. How do I connect my Samsung Blackjack to my computer running Ubuntu Hardy? [05:00] dmsuperman: Are you registered on this channel? [05:00] just put a delay on the touch pad, 1 sec after a keypressed [05:00] It can't detect a hard disk drive! [05:00] Jburrke, I am [05:00] and i am still at a loss with this network issue. [05:00] tv7497: is it a laptop? [05:00] Jburrke, damn it, nevermind [05:00] bbias [05:00] xcell :ney desktop [05:01] If you can guess what my psuedonym says, you get a free prize! [05:01] utnubU_seluR? [05:01] utnubU_kcuF: if you hate it so much, use something else [05:01] dmsuperman: Lol, didnt think you were.. Werent answering my pm XD [05:01] Whover gets it gets the prize of getting kicked off the server. [05:01] is there a way to deploy different versions of ubuntu to different machines in a lan from one place? [05:02] Jburrke, I am, I just forgot to identify [05:02] dmsuperman: cool :P [05:02] Now I need help installing Ubuntu on my IBM PC Server with dual Pentium 90 MHz! [05:02] oops... [05:02] seluR_utnubU [05:02] even [05:02] rich_freecomm, agreed [05:02] :D [05:03] so [05:03] if I ndiswrapper -i driver [05:03] and then ndiswrapper -m [05:03] I have a Samsung Blackjack I and was able to connect it fine to Windows XP. But not that I use Ubuntu I want to be able to upload pictures from it. Any ideas? [05:03] why does modprobe ndiswrapper still not work? [05:03] why would i have access to the outside world using dhcp, but only access to the lan using a static ip? [05:03] This should be GNU/Ubuntu! [05:03] tv7497: in my personal opinion...i would re-do X...since the upgrade, X got corrupted. do... sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now that being said...you may encounter other problems, there is no guarantee to this..but it most likely fixes the problem. === ubuntu is now known as Shootfast === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan [05:04] RichardStallman: your trolling is quite droll, but annoying. go elsewhere. [05:04] hey guys, I have a quick Raid 5 question [05:04] you responded to it [05:04] therefore you made him happy [05:04] ;) [05:04] xcell :will give it a try dude [05:04] Hi, I plugged in my network cable into Ubuntu 8.04 hoefully it will detect the local settings, I have an issue identifying the network? any suggestions, please?

[05:15] ok then check for what you are using. most apps change with updates, just search all, [05:15] Is there a 'rmdir' that will ignore 'Directory not empty'? [05:15] steven2, I dont own one, but if your device has internet or wifi capabilities, perhaps there is a third party application to give you a file manager of sorts? [05:16] rich_freecomm, rm -rf [05:16] rich_freecomm: rm -r [05:16] rich_freecomm, be careful with it though! [05:16] Shootfast: Mine can either connect to a PC with Bluetooth or USB. But I don't have a bluetooth adapter. So that option is out. [05:16] Xcell, how to update? [05:16] hey where can I set the load module option for XGL in xorg.conf [05:17] I'll look into Ubuntu Mobile though.

[05:30] techqbert: so manually md5sum them and compare [05:30] xcell : not working dude splash screen :-( === sussu is now known as Finnish [05:30] KHAnet, what do you mean? downloading the firmware? or just downloading any thing [05:30] techqbert: if they're different then that means they aren't the same file [05:30] tv7497: what is problem ?

[05:50] Phirephly: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg [05:50] Hello, everyone, I would be grateful for some help. I have a problem with either wine or compiz or both. I installed the new version of wine while running compiz and it didn't seem to be working. I hear that there are compatibility issues with the two so I tried to figure out how to disable compiz without uninstalling. i couldn't figure it out so I just disabled ever option individually. Now, I don't know what to do. My windows for every application are [05:51] i have the setting manager so i just add the "emerald --replace" [05:51] ok..ive got myself in enough trouble...have a good day folks. god bless..and spread the (Ubuntu) word...thanks. [05:51] Intel GMA960 [05:51] I converted my little brother to xubuntu :D [05:51] psykrol1: that got cut off [05:51] Amaranth: No difference. [05:51] psykrol1: your windows for every application are what? [05:52] not visible [05:52] Does it matter that I'm running from Wubi? [05:52] now I've uninstalled both compiz and wine, no help [05:52] dmsuperman: I think filedupe in the freebsd repos has the functionality I want. It keeps a list of all files ever encountered with md5/file size and checks against the list on every pass-through. That's what I need. It compiles on linux-machines too. [05:52] psykrol1: how are they not visible? completely gone? white? [05:52] Shootfast: i'm in window decoration what do i do [05:52] I see the background [05:52] did you have wine working? [05:53] tj1515: there is an option to put a command in, it has 'compiz-decorator' in it now [05:53] no [05:53] tj1515: put 'emerald' in there instead [05:53] it never worked right for me [05:53] just installed new version [05:53] how can I remove postfix and all the config files? [05:53] tj1515, go down to window decoration [05:53] BRB, Gonna go Googlize.

[05:58] yeah [05:58] hey, so I just upgraded my ubuntu distro to the newest falcon whatever and went above compiling the development environment. I was able to remove the errors in the odcctools and properly set the environment variables. The whole environment compiled with no errors. I went to recompile some code I had previously unchanged and now the first error is an unknown gcc compiler error by one of the mac headers [05:58] speeds are slow 5mb/s but connections is like 90% [05:58] title bar gone [05:58] psykrol1: alt+f2 , then type : metacity [05:58] very sad [05:58] flannel just an academic question no actual purpose [05:58] someguy: You mean Intrepid Ibex? [05:58] mlr, what does that do? [05:59] you dont need title bar, hold alt and drag window by anything :P [05:59] someguy: er, sorry. Hardy Heron. That's a bird. Not an Ibex. [05:59] Flannel: version 8.04 [05:59] Hello everyone. Through my own absentmindedness I deleted the MBR from my flash drive. It has all of my sermons on it and I would really like to recover the information. What tool would restore the MBR without destroying the rest of my data? I would really appreciate help with this. [05:59] has anyone had the problem of firefox maximizing past the top bar? and covering the bottom bar? [05:59] any one on my wifi issue? [06:00] what bottom bar ;) [06:00] shol - not on your wifi atm, some other neighbor's [06:00] I just wondering that although the online documentation I could find says people can get it to compile by removing a warnings in odcctools make file and changing how to assign an environment variable does it actual work after [06:00] alt f2 won't do anything. That's the run command, right? [06:00] _yes [06:00] it being the development environment [06:00] it won't open [06:01] hmm [06:01] may be video card driver issue Qster [06:01] yeah, nvidia 8800 [06:01] psykrol1: can u open terminal [06:01] it's open [06:02] Could someone help me apply the SSH patch for Ubuntu?

[06:04] jtld: did it cause you any problems? [06:04] psykrol1: ctrl+alt+backspace [06:05] !upgrade | robotic [06:05] robotic: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:05] Hey, I can't find any information on minimizing my installation of ubuntu right now... I am running fluxbox on an ubuntu install, and I want to delete all the programs it comes with that I don't use (thunderbird, for one example). I can't find an easy way to do this, to just 'delete programs I don't want'. [06:05] robotic: it worked like a charm - Suse on the other hand sucks for that. [06:05] d [06:05] kajo , check for minimal ubuntu on forums [06:05] halo [06:05] hello [06:05] ich di nit argan [06:06] mlr, are you talking about doing a server install?

[06:07] psykroll: do you use compiz ? [06:07] wie installieren Ubuntu [06:07] jtld: I can always switch the sources back after [06:07] jtld: thanks mucho [06:07] jtld, robotic, it's recommended you use update manager instead of manual editing and such, it's safer. [06:07] flannel, thanks. [06:07] I was, but I just uninstalled it [06:07] I cant seems to access the manual help on fopen / fprintf / feof are they missing in ubuntu ?

I'm scared it'll break something at this point :) [06:08] Flannel: Danke [06:08] hey guys got something weird ... when i restart i can get the login screen; once i login, a terminal show up and that's it ? nothing else is loaded .... [06:08] Flannel, so that will remove all of my software, but leave my fluxbox untouched? [06:08] BonezAU: bitte [06:08] psykroll: it is simple thing , but i forgot how i fixed it, to make it short, your "metacity" dont start at boot. sry i had few beers :( [06:08] Flannel: I am updating remotely without using a GUI. [06:08] jtld: That's fine, there's a CLI version of update-manager as well [06:08] Flannel: What is the command? [06:08] i log my gdm completely and other drivers are not loaded also [06:08] kajo: It'll remove everything that Ubuntu installed, which may include some programs you use, but you can reinstall them later [06:08] please help [06:09] jtld: update-manager-core I believe, its in the upgrade notes [06:09] psykroll: u need somehow to set that meatcity loads at boot, i think i just added to "sessions" new entry metacity, but not sure [06:09] i can't connect to the internet with it now [06:09] flannel, that's exactly what I wanted, thanks. :D [06:09] hehe! The way you get more people from Windows to Linux is if you can operate a linux box while intoxicated...then you know you are onto something [06:09] Flannel: is there any risk that running the update manager will futz my existing system? [06:09] why my ubuntu doesnt support fopen / fprinf /feof / strncmp ? [06:09] Flannel: Thanks - Hey do you know GPartED fairly well? [06:10] sessions? [06:10] hey guys got something weird ... when i restart i can get the login screen; once i login, a terminal show up and that's it ? nothing else is loaded .... [06:10] robotic: Upgrading between versions is inherently more dangerous than not, but its fairly stable. You *dont* want to just grab a package from a newer version though, that's bad. Update-manager lists 213 updates without changing your sources.list? [06:10] So, I'm looking into editing my xorg.conf manually since I am unable to use the dpkg-reconfigure to access the video resolution settings. Though, I don't want to mess that up. Can I get some help? [06:10] robotic: update-manager is also used to do regular updates as well, not just in between releases. [06:10] Flannel, this won't remove terminal commands (programs), will it? [06:10] psykroll: system>preferences>sessions if i recall right [06:10] I want to add 1440x900 to my resolution list. [06:11] psykroll, type name to who you are talking to so they see you [06:11] kajo: Anything that's installed in ubuntu-desktop, but I can't think of anything, no. Most of that stuff is in ubuntu-standard [06:11] psykroll: but that is not the right way to solve that problem [06:11] Mba7eth: you're logging into "failsafe terminal" session [06:11] Flannel: Yes, the sources.list is what it's always been; I've just never updated anything except when something broke, on a program-by-program basis from the command line [06:11] tnx SeaPhor [06:11] robotic: Well, thats probably why. Do a full upgrade, you're worried about ssh, but you've got countless other security updates waiting. [06:11] Mba7eth: when you get into the login screen, there's a button called "sessions", press that and pick the kind of session you like" === Xorg is now known as Tankado [06:11] oic System/Preferences/Control Center and then sessions [06:11] Myrtti: no the normal one .... even failsafe doesn't work [06:12] hmm, it seems I get no sound when pulse audio (or autodetect) is selected, but alsa works - any ideas what might be wrong? [06:12] robotic: If you don't want to use update manager, `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` will accomplish the same thing [06:12] anyone on GPartED?? [06:12] !anyone | jtld [06:12] jtld: 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? [06:12] m1r, np, wish i could help more [06:12] Flannel: thanks! does sudo-apt-get update execute an update on everything, or just update my repository data?

[06:13] Myrtti: as graphical [06:13] xcell ; flannel : sir in bum usplash utility is idel [06:13] err [06:13] SeaPhor: :) [06:13] robotic: the update grabs new repository data, the dist-upgrade will grab the most recent versions of everything.

Running two AMD 2400s and the disks are SCSI about the same age.

[06:13] Flannel: Great, thanks; I will do that and hope it doesn't break anything [06:13] I'm viewing xorg.conf as a text file and the only thing I have is "Section "Device" // Identifier "Configured Video Device" // Option "UseFBDev" "true"" How do I go about adding a resolution to my video device? [06:14] what a good dvd player app for ubuntu? [06:14] mlr, so we're stumped?

[06:15] Mba7eth: are you on ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu? [06:15] Myrtti: ubuntu [06:15] mlr: or I'm losing it [06:15] Phirephly: joke :) [06:15] m1r: Someone should start it, then :P [06:15] psykroll: that is solution, but not the "right" way [06:16] Phirephly: :) [06:16] what programs do some of you use for DVD backup / compressing from DVD9 to DVD5 [06:16] mlr : sir in bum my usplash utility is idel any way of making it work [06:16] Mba7eth: there's something wrong with your settings, do you remember with what you were fiddling around before this started to occur? [06:16] is there a good dvd ripper for ubuntu? [06:16] tv7497: didnt understand ? [06:16] mlr I chose add and gave the name metacity, what goes in command or comment?

(i already managed to get the man pages) [06:19] mlr, no windows still [06:19] Phirephly: oh sorry try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:19] m1r, wow, i just been watching, and had hard time keeping up, and with all the others chiming in,, nice, impressed and apparently have joined you in a few of those beers!

As of now, it looks like I need to add a subsection to [Section "Screen"], but I'm unsure of what to have for Depth and Viewport. [06:20] how do you install live in gutsy [06:20] myrtti : i bet document reader is better than adobe rght ???????/ [06:20] psykroll: alt+f2 wortking ?

[06:20] tv7497: not always, it depends on user's needs [06:20] Flannel, when I try to run that giant command, I get errors. [06:20] Tankado: they're C functions, not commands [06:20] myrtti: but i didn't partition my box at all ... all directories are in one partition [06:21] psykroll: can u install compiz back ? [06:21] myrtti : oh!!!!!!!!

[06:21] I installed the restricted stuff but its not there? [06:21] mlr, workin on it [06:21] ok people [06:21] koheleth: you can install a plugin to be used within the browser and it doesn't need to be acroread [06:21] what is the default root pass on the ubuntu install? [06:21] hi [06:22] It didn't ask me during install.... [06:22] johny-b-goode: there isn't onw [06:22] *one [06:22] psykroll: think your window manager is messed when u removed it but cant be sure so lets begin from start :) [06:22] mlr: brb [06:22] !root > johny-b-goode [06:22] johny-b-goode, there is no such thing [06:22] !sudo > johny-b-goode [06:22] Madpilot: ok so how to login as root? [06:22] johny-b-goode: read the messages ubottu sent you [06:22] johny-b-goode: you don't need to. Use sudo instead [06:22] myrtti : dude liitle help needed [06:22] johny-b-goode, generally, you don't [06:22] do you need a high end computer to run Ubuntu? [06:22] johny-b-goode, sudo su - [06:22] Mba7eth: well. [06:22] Joe_, not really [06:23] Madpilot: for apt-get and other basic stuff.... [06:23] Joe_: an average one can usually run ubuntu [06:23] joe_:nope dude [06:23] fouad: eeeep, wrong answer [06:23] Joe_, dont need a high end computer to run any linux [06:23] mlr: still no [06:23] nice [06:23] joe_ , aat least 500mhz 128 ram :) [06:23] myrtti: any other clue ? [06:23] fouad: ok so basically just use sudo su - but there isn't a root user? [06:23] johny-b-goode, use sudo - see the stuff Myrtti had the bot send you [06:23] johny-b-goode: read the messages ubottu sent you [06:23] i have a few old cpu sitting around [06:23] johny-b-goode: "sudo command" is the same as "command" as root [06:23] ubottu, root | johny-b-goode [06:23] johny-b-goode: 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 [06:23] johny-b-goode, yep there is a root user [06:23] Joe_, ubuntu is an excellent choice for old computers... [06:23] my concern with ubuntu, is i am not sure how to set up the partition? [06:24] Joe_, especially fluxbuntu. [06:24] Wubi it :P [06:24] ubottu : dude little bit help needed regarding splash screen [06:24] tv7497: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:24] fouad: thanks. I was able to sudo su - and then just passwd and set a root pass. It just feels better knowing what the pass is. :) [06:24] Mba7eth: so how about "ls -lah /home"? [06:24] tv7497: ubottu is a bot. [06:24] joe_ , set it do automaticly pick size ;) [06:24] johny-b-goode, if you want to do something with the root privileges ,, you can do "sudo dmesg" as an example [06:24] johny-b-goode: Don't do that. There was no password before, the root account was locked. [06:24] johny-b-goode: UH-OH [06:24] fouad: of course, never to login as root for browing online but just to know what the pass is. :) [06:24] johny-b-goode, seriously, there is no need to do that. Ubuntu is designed to use sudo + user's pw... [06:24] phirephly : bott??????????? [06:24] Myrtti: :) [06:24] johny-b-goode: that wasn't a good idea [06:24] m1r: thanks it does a good job when picking that? [06:25] Flannel, I got errors running that giant block of code [06:25] johny-b-goode: you have just hade it easier for people to crack into your computer [06:25] Madpilot: yeah I noticed that. I just always have the habit of having the root password set to something ..... [06:25] phirephly : sir i dont know what is a bot [06:25] Myrtti: i got my user folder there [06:25] tv7497, ubottu is an IRC script, a robot of sorts [06:25] I pasted them on paste.ubuntu.com, though I'm not sure how that works... [06:25] joe_ it picks what it thinks is best for pc [06:25] tv7497: it's a program, not a person [06:25] @Flannel [06:25] johny-b-goode, now that you set a password for root , you are a little bit more vulnerable [06:25] kajo: After you paste, and hit submit, you copy the URL of the page you're redirected to to here [06:25] madpilot :oh!!!!!!! [06:25] joe_ , not that all like it... :) [06:25] tv7497, ubottu is also the most intelligent thing in the channel, but no matter :) [06:25] Starnestommy: don't worry it's not avaialble to the outside world. It's a home computer behind NAT. There is not translateable path to it unless request goes out via NAT. :) [06:25] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12657/\ [06:25] Mba7eth: on the same line that you've got your home, does it have your username twice as well? [06:26] can anyone explain why hardy is trying to install libtotem-plparser10 version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2.1 over an existing 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 ? [06:26] fouad: hehe, maybe next time I install it, I will leave it alone. :) [06:26] madpilot:well how can it respond like human [06:26] *him [06:26] beniamino: Its a bug, just sit tight and it'll be fixed [06:26] johny-b-goode, that is your system , your file , so it's up to you :) [06:26] johny-b-goode: no but really, it's not a smart thing to do. Ubuntu was designed to use sudo, there are plenty of things that don't work the way they were supposed to run, now [06:26] tv7497, because it's a very clever script. And the most intelligent thing in this channel, as I said [06:26] Myrtti: yes for the user and th group name [06:26] and ubuntu is easier to install than gentoo? [06:26] Myrtti, like what ? [06:26] Joe_, much [06:27] cool [06:27] well, I will leave it alone next time guys. :) I just didn't know and was a little too fast to change it. :) [06:27] Joe_: almost every linux distribution is easier than gentoo [06:27] Flannel: ok, thanks [06:27] johny-b-goode: You can re-lock it, sudo passwd -l root [06:27] so basically the package updater is asking for a pass, I didn't know what to give it.... [06:27] but emerge rox [06:27] When i try to mount the ISO DVD95 creates says, Windows cannot access this disc. The disc might be corrupt. Make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recognizes. [06:27] joe_ , for preformace on old pc's try xubuntu or fluxbuntu [06:27] johny-b-goode: yout user's password [06:27] Flannel: ok sudo -l root? [06:27] Starnestommy: it works. :) [06:27] madpilot : sir well my splash screen isnt working i tried bootupmanager there its idel (usplash utilty ) any way can i ficx this sir [06:27] this is a test, can anyone read me? [06:27] When should I expect hardy to update firefox to 3RC1? [06:27] johny-b-goode, user pass, always. [06:27] johny-b-goode: no. `sudo passwd -l root` [06:27] *fix [06:27] UF_Linguist, yes. [06:28] mlr: I'm trying not to lose hope [06:28] johny-b-goode: then when it prompts for a password, enter your users password [06:28] m1r: why are those better on old ones? [06:28] Flannel: it says password changed. So it changed it to something and locked it? [06:28] tv7497, I'm not sure - never broken that part of an Ubuntu install myself... [06:28] Joe_ , they eat less pc power [06:28] Flannel: okie dokie. updater is working. [06:28] johny-b-goode: no, it just locked it. [06:28] ok [06:28] Flannel: thanks. :) [06:28] kajo: Go ahead and manually remove the open office packages, and then try it again. [06:28] madpilot: k sir [06:28] Flannel, is there a way to 'force' the uninstall? [06:28] psykroll, try creating a file in your homedir or where ver, called like .start_metacity.sh [06:28] Flannel, thanks. [06:28] ok all root is lock. [06:29] joe_ , i prefer openbox for my system, not so easy to config, but runs like dream [06:29] psykroll inside it #!/bin/bash [06:29] sleep 10 && metacity; [06:29] under lock [06:29] thanks all. You guys are great help. :) [06:29] add that to sessions, make it exec first. [06:29] hi, could somebody tell me how to install firefox on ubuntu ? [06:29] don't worry the root is not open. WIll sudo .... [06:29] jason__:sudo apt-get install firefox [06:29] jason__: but it should be already installed, no? [06:29] anyone have a good manual for using emacs for C? (when i try to compile with it its tring to compile Lisp code) [06:29] thank you for the spredy reply. Is this a channel that can be used for.help with Ubuntu? [06:30] jason^, it's there by default [06:30] well right now i have firefox 3 beta 5 [06:30] m1r: so with ubuntu when there is a new version, I don't need to brun another iso for it? [06:30] UF_Linguist, it is [06:30] burn [06:30] Anyone know why the latest set of upgrades for Xubuntu (7.10) did weird things to the menu bar ? [06:30] the release candidate 1 for firefox 3 was released today [06:30] so i downloaded that.. and i'm not sure how to install [06:30] joe_ , only once u install , the people take care of rest for you :) [06:30] madpiilot: sir u know any 1 who can help this out [06:30] also, i dont think that version is on the repositories [06:30] When i try to mount the ISO DVD95 creates says, Windows cannot access this disc. The disc might be corrupt. Make sure that the disc uses a format that windows recognizes. [06:30] m1r: what apps you recommend? [06:31] mlr: sir u r damn rght people really take care of u [06:31] tv7497, not offhand. Try asking your question again here in a few minutes. [06:31] i have a dwl-g122 usb wifi, it has this annoying thing at least with me, when i plug it in, it stays on for a while its disconnected, i plug it back in can even connect to internet and use it and it gets disconnected whilst using it, any suggestions [06:31] Joe_ , depends of what u will chose, there is too many options :) [06:31] m1r: what your favorites ones? [06:31] can anyone tell me if an ossue I'm having is known? I am running the latest firefox and when I play anything, firefox will crash about 1/3 of the time. [06:32] joe_ , what ubuntu ships, i use :) [06:32] jason__, it usually takes a day or two for the repositories to get updated to the latest version.... [06:32] okay, then i guess i'll wait until it gets onto the repositories [06:32] thanks for the help [06:32] i assume is something to do with flash probably youtube UF_Linguist [06:32] good night all [06:32] jason__, I'm not sure how the Firefox update will be handled by Ubuntu this time. Usually only security updates are issued to existing Ubuntu versions. [06:33] sometimes youtube, but really anything with flash, and sound I suppose if that helps [06:33] good morning m/r [06:33] UF_Linguist, have the same issue [06:33] noone?

[06:33] UF_Linguist, I am made to understand it has something to do with xulrunner1.9 [06:33] jason__: With all the FF love, it won't be long. [06:33] UF_Linguist, or perhaps swappy file issues? [06:33] hi all. how do i set up which embedded player (plugin) firefox uses for .wmv files? [06:33] its a known issue, i use epiphany for all my flash if am watching a lot [06:33] BlakJak, you can choose the " see the different ..." [06:33] not necessarily glad to hear, but at least it's not just me [06:34] epiphany? Is it a flash substitute? [06:34] epiphany? No. [06:34] its a browser [06:34] layo: for example, the 'door' didnt present the 'logout/suspend/reboot' dialogue but instead simply let me quit the x4ce somethingorother... and when i did.. i was left with a desktop and no menus [06:34] oh, oops. Is it more stable with flash? I've noticed firefox 2 has no such issue. [06:35] Is there any way to change emacs from Lisp Interaction to C Interaction ?> [06:35] UF_Linguist, I'm going to try the latest firefox release 3rc1 and see if that helps [06:35] guys my splash screen /boot screen not working well [06:35] thanks. [06:35] i tried to reconfigure x screen but of no use [06:35] whats up with ubuntu sometimes, nothing works, i mean everything does not open, even quit does not open the only way i have been able to get out it is hard reboot [06:36] nakedgoat: I have no clue how to do that, apparently. [06:36] also, when you shut Ubuntu down, is it /supposed/ to have vertical alternating lines of odd colors for a second? [06:36] UF_Linguist, I also would like to know that...

Glad to have found the place.

[06:37] nakedgoat: I don't know how to make it or make it exec [06:38] to create it, sudo gedit or pico, or vi ect... === RootMR__ is now known as rootmr [06:38] layo: I was in XWindows, I got prompted for some updates, which I applied. I found that Firefox was being very weird, so I went to reboot... the 'door' button (which moved from right to left aligned) didntd give me the usual reboot dialogues. === rootmr is now known as RootMR [06:38] i belive u want chmod a+x [06:39] oh, and post upgrades the shortcuts for firefox (etc) in the menu bar got replaced with defaults that pointed nowhere [06:39] wanan sudo that also [06:39] how to rip DVD to FW400-harddrive whit k9copy?

[06:42] tv7497: what is wrong with the usplash screen? [06:42] i don't know how to use some applications [06:42] kajo: if you install ubuntu first, you will also have a lot of packages installed that fluxbuntu wouldn't install [06:42] eduard: what do you want to do? [06:42] legend2440 :sir i goes blank after grubs load evry time i need to press cntrl-alt-f1 to get text version [06:42] i saw good features in youtube [06:42] nakedgoat: assume nothing and you'll save me embarassment.

[06:43] that might be because ubuntu isn't reading your graphics card, try booting in recovery mode [06:43] eduard: when talking to someone on IRC, please direct statements to nicks. Try Ens [message]. That way people will get notified when you say something to them [06:43] kajo: Thats the thing you log in to [06:43] Whenever I install this GTK theme, it tells me that the theme was succesfully installed, but then the theme is not visible on the list of themes to apply.

[06:44] as in like, au.archive.ubuntu.com except a university one [06:44] Any ideas as to why? [06:44] legend2441 : done it sir even removed d original splash screen and added a new 1 from gnome.org still no use [06:45] kajo: Whenevre you wanted to log in, either start GDM then log in, or log in then startx [06:45] Will ubuntu push the FF3 RC1?

[06:52] hey guys, quick question, hopefully with a simple answer. =) I'm trying to dual boot ubuntu with another popular OS and the installer is telling me that I have no hdd, or it can't find a hdd. has anyone else encountered this? [06:52] Flannel, k9copy doesnt create a iso [06:52] .............. [06:53] What would cause a PC to randomly shutoff other than a brownout or bad PSU? [06:53] Firefox keeps crashing on me when I try and log in to either facebook or gmail (gmail can be worked around by accessing the HTML version). It did not used to do this. Anyone have an idea of where to start? [06:53] psykroll did you try creating another user? [06:53] kajo: I have been checking the forums but i couldnot find aa solution [06:53] mauro : sound problem google it out dude there is a huge foroum regrding this dude may be something like this sound noy working in ubuntu in google search [06:53] dabbill: What does it create? [06:53] mauro, I would look, but my firefox is crashing on me. :( [06:54] tv7497: is usplash-theme-ubuntu installed? [06:54] psykroll still there ;) did u already try creating a new user? [06:54] kajo: Heh. Xubuntu may use firefox. This one is a better choice actually: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde (remember to remove the install kubuntu-desktop command at the end) [06:54] kajo: i have checked a lot of forums but..... [06:54] Flannel, just gives the audio / video folder [06:55] dabbill: Just make an ISO from those folders [06:55] mauro : check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=784449 [06:55] can anyone help me with DVDDecrypter and DVDshrink through wine? http://www.mrbass.org/linux/ubuntu/dvdshrink/ isn't helping so much! [06:55] Help?? I am running 'top', and it tells me that 253676k out of 320808k are being used, even though I am only running xchat and a terminal with 4 tabs (3 tabs doing nothing currently...) [06:55] kajo: are any other things running? [06:55] Starnestommy, Not a single other thing. [06:56] kajo: Unused RAM is wasted RAM. Linux stores stuff it think may be useful in RAM so it can get to it quickly. If other apps need that RAM, it'll be cleared for them [06:56] nakedgoat i just checked my wife's profile, it works fine [06:56] what is the code to get the utils for ndiswrapper? [06:56] legend2440:how do u check sir coz im totally noob [06:56] psykroll , just create a new user.. [06:56] kajo: top only shows xchat and gnome-terminal? [06:56] Flannel, I understand this, but 75+% being used on xchat and a terminal? [06:56] kajo: No, 75% being filled, not used. [06:56] why isnt apt-get install mysql-server working? it keeps failing when trying to initialize mysqld [06:56] Starnestommy, it shows Xorg, xchat, and top as the first three things. [06:56] Flannel, what program to make them iso, or how to just burn them so they will play in a normal DVD Player? [06:56] nakedgoat I can create a new root admin? [06:57] and delete this one? [06:57] yes sure [06:57] nakedgoat sweet [06:57] dabbill: if you take the contents of those files and burn them (so those folders are in the root of the DVD) it will work in DVD players [06:57] xfce4 terminal, starnestommy [06:57] Flannel, thanks [06:57] nakedgoat I will try but first a smoke outside [06:57] 253784 ram *used*.... I am suspecting this is the cause of my firefox crashing.... [06:57] @Flannel [06:57] kajo: check what's in the res column [06:57] psykroll i hear ya, me too. [06:57] tv7497: open system>administration>Synaptic and see if there is green mark next to uspals-theme-ubuntu [06:57] Starnestommy, for which? [06:58] does Ubuntu automatically log a history of all my assigned IP addresses anywhere? [06:58] tv7497: open system>administration>Synaptic and see if there is green mark next to usplash-theme-ubuntu [06:58] xorg shows 14m, xchat shows 14m... [06:58] xchat just shot to 23m for a second. [06:58] kajo: or type f then Q to sort by resident memory use [06:58] kajo, used, or just in use as cache? linux is quite aggressive about caching - might as well use available ram, after all [06:58] what is the code to get the utils for ndiswrapper? [06:59] D0ugh_B0ii: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [06:59] Madpilot, all I know is what top tells me. Does top distinguish the two? WHAT would it be caching right now??? [06:59] D0ugh_B0ii: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [06:59] ty [06:59] tv7497: ??? [06:59] Starnestommy, typing f gave me a screen that displayed what each field means... [06:59] oooiii [06:59] kajo: press Q then enter [06:59] q [07:00] Q [07:00] right. By then I had already screwed with 'q' to try and quit, before I realized how it worked. [07:00] kajo, I don't think top does distingush, actually [07:00] /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key, the SSHv1 host key, could still be affected by the OpenSSL issue, right? [07:00] top does tell me 'buffers', if that is important, under mem, Madpilot [07:00] mauro: r try resetting alsa [07:00] sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset [07:01] Starnestommy, what info do you want? [07:01] legend2440 :yes sir there is a green mark [07:01] kajo, "man top" for all the info - I think top is one of the lucky programs with a man page that's actually useful [07:01] mauro : sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset [07:02] kajo: free -m is useful sometimes [07:02] tv7497: and now? [07:02] tv7497: then in startup manager you should have option to choose usplash-theme-ubuntu as usplash theme [07:02] maoro : now ur sound works ??????/ [07:02] Rat409, thanks.

[07:05] tv7497: in startup manager in Boot Options is Show Boot Splash box checked?

[07:09] FujiMuji: still there. [07:09] how do I get it? [07:09] FujiMuji : ur video drivers :) [07:10] FujiMuji: install simple-ccsm and you can change it back to being on a cube [07:10] FujiMuji: install simple-ccsm if you want an easy way to get it, install compizconfig-settings-manager if you want full tweakage. [07:10] legend2440 : does this works sir sudo apt-get install -reinstall usplash-theme-ubuntu [07:10] it used to be that you went System>Preferences>Desktop Effects [07:11] The program 'apt-get' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install apt [07:11] lawlz [07:11] Rat409: No luck... it doesn't have IP addresses in the kernel log. thanks though! [07:11] tv7497: ??????????

[07:27] like it [07:27] cypha, hello did you ever get your dual monitors working?

[07:27] cypha, if you like winamp try xmms perhaps [07:27] well at least its working now [07:27] mauro : dude ubott is a robot an intelligent scrpit [07:27] fluxbox, and a handful of programs** [07:27] xmms just looks like it i thought [07:28] pat5star, psaikido no you should use the init system, this is debian afterall ;) 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or reload" [07:28] i read that functionality was not nearly as close [07:28] there was one that i heard was very powerful for linux [07:28] !bot [07:28] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [07:28] ya it resembles it but i dunno, i use amarok personally [07:28] but it didn't use gnome [07:28] used kdm or something [07:28] pat5star: but not changed [07:28] yeahh [07:28] i think amarok [07:28] !ot | babolat woohoo! just finished downloading Smallville S07E20 [07:28] babolat woohoo! just finished downloading Smallville S07E20: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[07:29] alsamixer is not working... [07:29] it might use the kde libs? im not sure [07:29] yeah [07:29] kde librs [07:29] psaikido: did you see what macd wrote? [07:29] exactly [07:29] cypha, Rythmbox is pretty nice. [07:29] im using kubuntu, it came preinstalled if i recall [07:29] Hi all. Hardy will no longer print since its last cupsys update (yesterday) :( Can anybody help me? [07:29] macd, what's it do compared to winamp? [07:29] pat5star: only just! i'm investigating that... [07:29] less/more? [07:29] equal? [07:29] cypha, its like osx compared to windows 95. [07:30] tmapj: are the downloads done yet?

[07:31] svensko, dont install it like that, prefix your install command with "sudo" instead.

How do I do this most efficiently? [07:33] everything that came in is removed and left unchanged [07:33] cypha, and if you want to search for packages, 'apt-cache search name' is your best friend :) [07:33] cypha, apt-get remove [07:33] babolat: i followed the grub recover instructions, but when i try to boot off the grub menu item labeled 'ubuntu etc.' i get 'partition not found'. but the windows menu item works fine [07:33] ohhh, cool macd [07:33] dpowerd: what about that --purge whatever thing [07:33] equally as good?

[07:33] kajo: you could install server, and then manually install stuff [07:33] cypha, use purge when your never going to use that program again, then it clears config files, data directores, etc. [07:34] psaikido, its always a madhouse! [07:34] how can i clear my temp files without rebooting? [07:34] kajo: are you disk space limited? [07:34] it'll put the config file back to before it was installed? [07:34] or undoes the lines it did? [07:34] tonsofpcs, you shouldnt be deleting anything in /tmp [07:34] SuperQ, is the server CD different from the minimal CD? I have only 6 gigs of HD, old laptop.. [07:34] tonsofpcs: It's probably not a good idea, since programs may assume that they will have continuing access to the temp files. [07:34] macd: yeesh - i'll have more time though - thx and bye [07:34] tonsofpcs: deleting them manually with mission-critical apps open is unsafe as i have been told [07:34] cypha, a lil of both [07:34] psaikido, anytime. [07:35] k [07:35] kajo: I don't think there is a "minimal" anymore [07:35] babolat: hello? [07:35] SuperQ, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [07:35] tmapj: ? [07:35] kajo: Oh, that's _really_ minimal [07:35] babolat: there is no "prefrences" in the window [07:36] i apparently already had rhythmbox [07:36] mauro: do you have alsa-utils installed? [07:36] came with ubuntu i guess [07:36] SuperQ, enlighten me on the finer points, please? [07:36] kajo: Server is a bit bigger, with some more common packages [07:36] So I've been googling for like 30 minutes, and I can't find any. Ubuntu offers you an opportunity to change your startup sound, however I can't seem to find any. I don't want movie clips. something that sounds professional like the currently included one, but perhaps a bit more techno-ey. Is there a website where these exist? [07:36] rhythmbox looks like itunes [07:36] kajo: minimal appears to be literally that.. the most basic set [07:36] SuperQ, like what kind of things would be on server that would not be on otherwise? [07:36] kajo: if you're familiar with Linux stuff, Minimal may be what you want [07:37] what do i have to do to get amarok? [07:37] kajo: otherwise, try out xubuntu, which is a lighter-weight full distro [07:37] kajo: minimal has basically the very core of an operable Ubuntu system. [07:37] legend2440: i do not know [07:37] cypha, yeah I guess I could have told you that ;) [07:37] i can't stand itunes [07:37] no offense [07:37] it's like the worst [07:37] tmapj: sorry. in Hardy: System > Administration > Software sources [07:37] kajo: If you want to install your own window manager, apps, etc, and customize everything the way you like, then minimal may be what you're looking for. [07:37] kajo: I'm not sure off the top of my head [07:37] i'd rather use windows media player! [07:37] =) [07:37] cypha: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:37] mauro: in a terminal type sudo apt-get install alsa-utils [07:37] SuperQ, Ryan- I'm not a poweruser, but all I want is a handful of stuff... ubuntu as it is feels bloated. I do not want Xfce, I want fluxbox, so I don't want xubuntu. I'm considering doing all of that customization, but wondering if that is best. [07:38] kajo: The server distribution has packages to set up things like a fully functioning LAMP server easily. [07:38] cypha: macd please take the chitchat to #ubuntu-offtopic [07:38] babolat: thanks. anything else [07:38] kajo: the server release also has packages installed by default which are useful in server administration but which are less useful for desktop users. [07:38] huh? [07:38] kajo: You can install fluxbox on xubuntu, and then remove xfce [07:38] tmapj: that's about it [07:38] I want to set up a 4 disk raid0 array, my motherboard is an asus striker ii formula which has the nvidia fakeraid. for the highest possible speed what would be the best way to do this? lvm, nvraid, md, dmraid or something else/combination of the above? [07:38] i'm trying to find out how to get amarok [07:39] how to rip DVD to FW400-harddrive whit k9copy? [07:39] Hi, I was trying to get multiple screens working on my laptop and something broke, and I'm stuck with a 640x480 screen with no idea on how to fix it. Can somebody help me out? [07:39] cypha, just apt-get it. [07:39] babolat any other reposatories? [07:39] SuperQ, but won't that leave other packages that I won't want, parts of the Xfce operating environment? [07:39] kajo: There is a distro called Fluxbuntu, but if you want to install fluxbox yourself, you could start with minimal and install Xorg and Fluxbox. [07:39] but it needs some libraries i thought [07:39] and i'm running gnome [07:39] i think [07:39] kajo: well, it will include a lot of packages [07:39] whats fluxbox? [07:39] tmapj: it's a window environment [07:39] cypha: It will get the libraries automatically [07:39] like Gnome and Xcfe [07:39] rkh: Can you use System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution ? [07:39] cypha, dont worry apt takes care of all of that, just 'sudo apt-get install amarok' done. [07:39] tmapj: very light weight [07:39] oh ok [07:39] ok [07:40] thnx [07:40] yea [07:40] RyanPrior: The only option available is 640x480 [07:40] tmapj: It's amazingly lightweight compared to Gnome and KDE as well. Works great on older computers, or for running many graphical sessions on one box. [07:40] I prefer ion3 for my work machine [07:40] tmapj: you add repositories via /etc/apt/sources.lst [07:40] RyanPrior, Yes I've heard of it... but it looks a little backalley... what I want is fluxbuntu with *NO* software on it. I want to install firefox, pidgin, xchat, java, etc., all myself, so that there is nothing more than what I use. [07:40] rkh: That is nuts. Don't know how to help. :-( [07:40] k, cool, thanks macd, zionpsyfer [07:40] kajo: yea, go minimal [07:40] legend2440: yes, I have alsa-utils installed [07:40] kajo: Sounds like you want minimal then, but I would disagree with you on not being a power user. :-) [07:40] kajo: start with an alternate CD, at the boot menu, hit f4, install a system without a GUI, then add fluxbox and xserver-xorg [07:40] AMAROK TAKES 131 MB's??? [07:40] RyanPrior: Also, whenever I try to run System->Administration->Screens and Graphics, it would just say "Starting Screens..." for a while and then just die/disappear [07:41] !caps | cypha [07:41] cypha: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [07:41] mauro: when you type alsamixer in terminal what happens? [07:41] rkh: Perhaps try using dkpg to reconfigure xserver-xorg? [07:41] hi [07:41] RyanPrior: How would I do that? [07:41] Flannel, why alternate as opposed to minimal? [07:41] kajo: minimal is identical to alternate only minimal has no packages on it [07:41] ???? [07:42] babolat...131 mbs? [07:42] RyanPrior: I'm kind of new to this, so I'm not sure how I would go about changing the config files... [07:42] I upgraded from gutsy to hardy using do-release-upgrade, but now my Xen user domain doesn't boot up, any hint on where I can find a howto on that problem or any other help?

[07:43] mauro: type lspci in terminal. is your souncard or audio controller listed? [07:43] kajo: with minimal CD, the CD itself contains *only* the installer, there are no packages on the CD (you download everything from the internet, and cannot install without the internet). With alternate CD, there is the installer, plus a repository of software, so you can install straight from the Cd, without an internet connection [07:43] Flannel: ohh, yea [07:43] I forgot about that [07:43] 谢谢 [07:44] zion: thanks [07:44] bu ke qi :) [07:44] by the way, i was trying to set the clock in ubuntu [07:44] i got the new york time right [07:44] but i was trying to set the time in dominican republic, and it wasn't showing the correct time [07:44] Flannel, what do you mean "+ a repository of software"??? *WHICH* software? Are we talking software to install and cause it to function, or are we talking about software like thunderbird? Apps, etc.? I do not want the latter.... [07:44] althoough the time zone says dominican republic [07:44] SuperQ, thanks. :) [07:44] the time is shown the same as new york [07:45] kajo: good luck [07:45] and i have the ubuntu tim server selected to synch with [07:45] is fluxbox smaller than damn small linux? [07:45] cypha: are you doing a dual-boot with Win* ? [07:45] yes [07:45] legend2440: no [07:45] tmapj, fluxbuntu you mean? no [07:45] !info fluxbox [07:45] tmapj, fluxbox is used in DSL. [07:45] fluxbox (source: fluxbox): Highly configurable and low resource X11 Window manager. In component universe, is optional.

The minimal CD contains *no* packages, at all. You can't install *anything* without the internet [07:45] So has anyone played with DRBD? [07:45] by the way, any way to get xchat to allow you to double click or click the links in the chat to open in the browser? [07:46] babolat : sir i have screwed p my splash screen [07:46] kajo: Likewise, the Kubuntu Alternate CD contains KDE, kernel, etc, plus additional software. [07:46] hello all [07:46] is there any version of linux i could install on my smartphone? [07:46] tmapj: heh [07:46] kajo: but this is just on the CD. Available to be installed, not installed by default, since we're choosing the command line system option [07:46] tmapj: Android :) [07:46] android? [07:46] tv7497: more information will help. what graphics card do you have? which drivers have you installed? etc. and please, no *sir* [07:46] for real? [07:46] tmapj, ubuntu mobile in a few months perhaps [07:46] http://code.google.com/android/ [07:46] kajo: the end results are identical whether you choose alternate or minimal CD [07:46] ubuntu mobile [07:47] tmapj, android would be for offtopic [07:47] yes [07:47] very much not #ubuntu [07:47] #google [07:47] heh [07:47] Flannel, I don't want Gnome.... I am fine installing fluxbox myself from scratch... I also want no 'additional' software. But you say it isn't auto installed, the alt-cd lets me pick the software I want to have installed, doesn't just automatically add all the aditional stuff? I don't even want gnome on default, I want complete freedom from 'defaults'.... [07:47] anyone able to help get my wireless network to auto connect at bootup ? [07:47] kajo then minimal install is what you want [07:47] fevets: before login? [07:48] bazhang: can you help with wine detecting my DVD burner? [07:48] legend2440: no. [07:48] no after login is fine [07:48] kajo: Yes, when it boots, you hit f4, and choose a "command line system" only. You want minimal CD or alternate CD, they give you identical installation options, but one *requires* the internet, the other will grab stuff off the CD [07:48] q_a_z_steve, external or internal [07:48] What does mean the classification in Launchpad > Bugs "Status=Invalid"? [07:48] bazhang: internal [07:48] fevets: network manager should auto-connect to known wifi connections [07:48] kajo: I almost think you would be better taking a debian cd installer, install the bare minimum, then add to it only the stuff you want later with apt-get [07:48] mauro: is your sound integrated on motherboard or seperate sound card? [07:48] it is connected now, but for some reason i have to run a small script to make it work, and sometimes the script fails and i kill and rerun in order to connect [07:48] bullgard4, not considered real bug [07:48] babolat: i dnt have a clue about my graphics card i use hardy with 2 gb ram 200 gb harddisk thats it i know about my system well all i get after grub is a blank screen i need to type ctrl-alt-f1 to swtich to text mode [07:49] fevets: What kind of script? [07:49] pat5star: that's what this is [07:49] pat5star: ubuntu minimal is the same [07:49] superq: can we talk privately ? [07:49] bazhang: Is this your interpretation or an official interpretation? [07:49] fevets: None of my ubuntu machines require anything special these days [07:49] fevets: /msg is ok [07:49] pat5star, I had a friend recommend this to me recently... how different is debian from ubuntu? [07:49] tv7497: what version of Ubuntu are you using, and what was the last time you did before this problem? [07:49] legend2440: separated [07:49] I know ubuntu is a debian based software, but I don't know all that debian entails as opposed to ubuntu. [07:49] q_a_z_steve, that is odd; have you asked in #winehq? [07:50] I just haven't experimented much outside of DSL & ubuntu. [07:50] mauro: what soundcard you have? [07:50] Flannel: oh I wasn't aware...sry guys. I did that a couple of years ago for a server and found debian was the easiest, because it installed bare minimum (basically a shell and networking) and you add to it from there [07:50] kajo, you can read up on it; this strictly a support channel [07:50] kajo: debian-installer is what the alternate/minimal CDs use. They have the program that installs, plus a bunch of packages (either on the CD, or downloaded), that it unpackages like with apt-get to install the system. [07:50] 8.04 i did nothing this exists from installtion itself [07:50] Hi all :) No more printing in Hardy since last update :( Is anybody else have this issue? [07:50] hey guys, how can i get a gforce 9600GT to work under linux [07:50] tv7497: what sort of problem are you exactly having? the splash-screen is off center or what? :) [07:51] pat5star: Agreed, great for a server. =) I'm glad ubuntu preserved that ability. [07:51] i alraedy had the setting suggested in http://jvliet.blogspot.com/2006/10/ubuntu-system-clock-setting-for-utc.html [07:51] but thanks [07:51] pat5star: no worries, just letting you know [07:51] MrEgg964: I've heard the complaint a few times over the last couple weeks, so I'm sure you're not alone. [07:51] superq: youll have to forgive me, i am not IRC expert or Ubuntu expert [07:51] Flannel, thanks for all the help. And everyone else, SuperQ, Rat409, baz, Ryan, etc... appreciate it. [07:51] babolat : sir its off i get just a blank screen [07:51] could someone please help me? [07:51] however, how can i i get the 2nd location to show the correct time? [07:51] hi, is there any plan to support bcm94311 rev 02 on hardy? a kernel backport or similar? [07:51] legend2440: i do not know. It is an old pc and the sound card too. [07:51] it's showing the same time as the first [07:51] Roxy123, this is hardy or gutsy [07:51] I been experiancing a network problem with ubuntu when ever the screen saver goes active, and when it wake up the connection is lost. is that a bug of some sort? [07:51] hardy bazhang [07:51] yoandy: We will support broadcom when broadcom supports us, which they have said will not happen. [07:52] mauro: are you also running windows on that computer? [07:52] yoandy: In the meanwhile, there are stopgap solutions like ndiswrapper which works for some folks - but the real solution is to not buy anything broadcom makes. [07:52] roxy123 :contact sir flannel [07:52] RyanPrior: Any idea where I should look to solve my problem? [07:52] Oh, and for the record, I'm ending up going with the minimal- I figure there's no reason to install it off the CD and then have to update it all. It was a close call. [07:52] ciao. [07:52] tv7497: is this the problem you are having? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/205990 [07:52] MrEgg964: I don't know a darn thing about printers, so I can't really help much.

W98 [07:53] superq: you didnt see my reply ? [07:53] legend2440: In w98 i have sound [07:53] tv7497: As much as I'm flattered, I'm not an expert in everything ;) nor am I always around [07:53] roxy123 : ask sir flannel or babolat about ur problem they r born genius they can help u [07:53] fevets: no [07:53] smultron: the LiveCd is commonly used for reinstalling Grub. in a terminal, do: sudo grub [07:54] fevets: you need to register in order to send private messages on freenode (I know, it's lame) [07:54] bazhang: do i need to restart? or how can i tell if my card is seen [07:54] flannel : sorry sir but u vere answering everrthng :-) [07:54] how can i view my windows drive in linux? [07:54] Roxy123, I believe you do need to at least logout; I recall restarting after I used it though [07:54] babolat: yeah, i did that like the ubuntu help page said [07:54] is it within the root directory? [07:54] smultron: and? [07:54] mauro: device manager in windows may tell you name of soundcard then you could google ubuntu and name of soundcard and you may get info on how to get it working. it may not be supported in linux. [07:54] SuperQ: If you want, you can `/msg nickserv set unfiltered on` and not require registration for queries [07:54] bbian bazh [07:55] babolat: when i try to boot from the Ubuntu option at boot time, i get 'partition not fond' [07:55] fond [07:55] found* [07:55] bbian?

[07:57] I just did a fresh install of hardy on my desktop and am not able to set the screen resolution any higher than 640x480. Usually I just modify the xorg.conf, but now that Xorg 7.3 is out and the config is different, I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone shed some light on this problem?

[07:57] babolat: ah yes. much easier. silly me :) [07:58] ,njv [07:58] yoandy: That's the only info I know about regarding broadcom cards. We get more people in here asking about broken broadcom wireless than any other hardware failure though, including broken graphics cards... [07:58] hai [07:58] hello [07:58] i have a question [07:58] What does mean the classification in Launchpad > Bugs "Status=Invalid"? [07:58] pada mau uang ga? [07:58] yaru1022: ask. :-) [07:58] smultron: ok. get into the boot folder, then grub folder. open menu.lst and pastebin the file's contents [07:58] bullgard4, that it is unconfirmed and not considered valid [07:58] bullgard4: It means it's not a bug. [07:58] i left my computer for one night [07:58] bazhang: that did not work [07:58] and my hard disk space was 4% used (about 4GB out of 100GB) last night [07:58] and today [07:59] mauro: if lspci is not listing your soundcard. i doubt it will be different with the hardy boot cd [07:59] it's like 99GB is used up [07:59] i have no idea what went wrong [07:59] anyone know how to get my 9600GT video card working ? [07:59] bullgard4: For example, if somebody rants about how much Ubuntu's security team sucks for letting the late vulnerability go unnoticed, that would be invalid because it's better discussed on the mailing list and not the bug tracker. [07:59] Roxy123, you ran the envyng tool from apps-->system tools? [07:59] RyanPrior, ok, i guess i'll have to wait 6months for 2.6.25 kernel on ubuntu, i know current broadcom 4311rev02 problem is because a 2.6.24 bug [07:59] babolat: how do i update initramfs-tools any sudo apt-get install command [07:59] legend2440: i will reboot and i will try to find the information [07:59] RyanPrior: Is this your personal interpretation or an official interpretation? [07:59] babolat: http://pastebin.com/d671436ad [08:00] can xchat show the Ops and voices? [08:00] dmsuperman_: what do you mean it didn't work for you? did it install but firefox still won't run any java programs? [08:00] bullgard4: That is the definition of an invalid bug: a report which is something other than a bug, such as a rant, a question, a request, etc. [08:00] bazhang: it said that my card was not recognized [08:00] apt-get tv7497 [08:00] bullgard4: search Google for the Ubuntu Bug Squad to find our community bug docs [08:00] mauro: here is list of souncards and whether they are supported or not https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCards but you need to know name of yours to check [08:00] Roxy123, you went to system tools and ran the tool? [08:01] babolat : lol [08:01] yes bazhang [08:01] I am trying to network vista and ubuntu..can anyone help please? [08:01] Roxy123, what did it do-->and what did you try-->please be precise [08:01] bazhang: I selected auto hardware detection [08:01] smultron: your Windows installation and Ubuntu installation are both in the same Hard Disk. Windows is in the first partition while the Ubuntu install is in the 2nd. Correct? [08:01] babolat : coz they ask for the above tools to be uptodate [08:01] babolat: yes [08:02] Roxy123, so you did *not* install the drivers? [08:02] yoandy: sry I missed your convo about your broadcom card, what were you asking? I have the same card [08:02] TokenBad, have you looked into samba? [08:02] Hello. How does one go about moving the /home partition, or the contents of it, to a new, larger /home partition ? Using 7.10. Have added a hard disk, no problem partitioning it with gparted or mounting the partitions, that's all good, but we do need help with naming the partitions properly and what steps are needed to give the /home partition a new larger home. [08:02] dpowerd yes...but can't seem to get it to work [08:02] bazhang: no it did not install anytrhing, i selected auto, then it came withthe error that my card was not found [08:02] whats the issue? [08:02] How can I run an application on startup? It has to run as root. [08:02] smultron: are you sure? because your Grub menu says that Ubuntu is on a second HD [08:03] RyanPrior: Google does not return a single hit for "Status=Invalid" AND "Ubuntu Bug Squad" [08:03] its like it sees the workgroup and all but not show the drives [08:03] Roxy123, well it would be helpful if you installed the drivers [08:03] babolat : u dere ???????? [08:03] but I also can't ping my windows computer [08:03] tv7497: yes? do apt-get update [08:03] pat5star, i ask if there were any plan to backport 2.6.25 on hardy to fix curretn problrm with bcm94311rev02 and 2.6.24 kernel [08:03] babolat: the / partition is mounted on the same HD as windows. the /home partition is on another hard disk [08:03] is there some vista firewall running?

[08:10] Is there any solution for an empty /proc/acpi/fan? also, when I try to echo an appropriate line to trip_points (which has only two entires, one at 95C and one at 100C) I get "permission denied" error, even though I am sudo'ing the command. [08:10] SuperQ, i thought recent kernels could boot off a md raid array? [08:11] mogunus: what is the command that you're using? [08:11] BrB [08:11] jscinoz: yes, but RAID1 [08:11] babolat: there is no pacakage bye the following name [08:11] jscinoz: I normally create 2 partitions on my systems [08:11] mogunus, getting supported hardware might help - the reason you get bad values or non existent values is that the machine is not aware of what it is reading [08:11] jscinoz: a small 1GB RAID1 mirror for / [08:11] sudo echo -n "xx : xx : xx : xx : xx" > trip_points [08:11] jscinoz: and the rest as a RAID5 for everything else [08:12] where the xx's are digits [08:12] SuperQ thanks, also what kind of speed loss would i be looking at if i used dm-crypt on top of the raid0? [08:12] mogunus: try echo -n "xx : xx : xx : xx : xx" | sudo tee trip_points [08:12] jscinoz: depends on your CPUs [08:12] jscinoz: and how much CPU time you expect after crypt [08:12] SuperQ, quad core, 2.6ghz :P one of the shiny new 45nm ones at that [08:12] hi [08:12] babolat : there is pacakge by d name in synaptic sir [08:12] jscinoz: hah!

[08:14] superQ, /root will still be on raid0 though [08:14] babolat : there is no pacakage [08:14] superq so i guess /boot will have to be separate. [08:14] i know, but it's really just hurtful! [08:15] jscinoz: You probably don't need root on raid0 [08:15] i try so hard to not be put down by their comments [08:15] jscinoz: actually, I highly suggest you don't put it on raid0 [08:15] like they'l help, but they'll be derogatory each line of the way [08:15] EAch line [08:15] jscinoz: 1GB is enough for root and boot if you have /usr and /var on raid0 [08:15] cypha, but sometimes you must help yourself and do some independent research [08:15] babolat : sir u there [08:15] SuperQ oh didn't think of putting usr and var on separate [08:15] dpowerd: i'm only asking the stuff i've tried to fix and couldn't [08:16] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [08:16] /dev/md0 965M 360M 557M 40% / [08:16] i have some simple questions about ubuntu...if someone doesn't mind [08:16] superQ so i'd end up with /root 1gb outside of raid and not encrypted, /var /usr and /home inside raid0 and encrypted?

[08:16] even though it supposedly will update from an online time server [08:16] SuperQ alright thanks [08:16] jscinoz: well [08:16] superq should i use LVM? [08:16] it still shows the same time as the first location [08:16] yes [08:16] LVM ++ [08:17] /dev/mapper/ns-data 900G 811G 90G 91% /data [08:17] secondly, i'd like to get my c:\ drive to mount [08:17] :) :) [08:17] but am not sure how...typng "mount" at the cl doesn't show it there [08:17] legend2440: i am here. You? [08:17] could anyone show me how you make a virtual machine? i keep getting an error [08:17] SuperQ so i if i use LVM on the space in the raid0, i can redistribute the free space between /var /usr and /home if i ever need to?

[08:26] it's 1 line [08:27] cypha: cool, just paste it then. =) [08:27] linsejko1: probably best to stick with 7.10 until 8.10 comes out in October [08:27] Is ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 able to run compiz?

Although i have changed these settings in smb.conf unix password sync = no and pam password change = no. How do i solve this problem? [08:27] linsejko1: 8.04 is great :) [08:27] LSD|Ninja, there will be 8.04.1 in July ;-) [08:27] Problem,the switch between users says "users" and the power icon doesn't give me any options to restart or anything, it just restarts to login screen...

[08:29] nakedgoat: I tried it, but I wasn't able to turn effects on [08:29] Intel integrated can do Compiz, your Radeon would be heaps better than that. The big problem you'll have is geting the ATi drivers running reliably [08:29] cypha: That tells me you're synched up with the server and you're very close to what the time should be. [08:29] legend2440: type this "sb and snd-sb16" at the beginning? [08:29] finnish is your name registered? [08:29] Hi. when I install mdadm on hardy, the initrd produced is useless (and won't boot). does anybody know how to fix this? [08:29] for the main clock [08:29] but what about the 2nd ocation? [08:29] it's showing the same time as this one [08:29] except its in a different time zone [08:29] yoandy: I just remembered, one thing that made it work and I don't know why, was to add this to rc.local: rmmod ssb; rmmod ndiswrapper; modprobe ndiswrapper... [08:29] should be 1 hour difference [08:30] nakedgoat that didnt do the trick [08:30] mauro type sb on one line then type snd-sb16 on another line [08:30] if its only 1 hour difference you can calculate the time yourself :P [08:30] tmapj: I haven't done any registering, so I guess my name isn't registred [08:30] ciao a tutti, mi potreste dire come faccio a trovare ubuntu.it?

[08:30] i know :P [08:30] yoandy: obv you can put those 3 commands on sep lines. but those commands allowed my wireless to startup on boot. if you run those from a shell on your laptop now just to check, it should work [08:31] Well, I'm on some messengers [08:31] cypha: Indeed, the time zone shouldn't matter to you as the end user. the NTP client (ubuntu) should adjust the time to your TZ. Daylight savings perhaps? What time zone do you have in? [08:31] why dont i seem to have the compiz aquarium plugin? do i have to install it?

I'm quite sure we haven't met before [08:32] and the second one is America/Grenada [08:32] mauro: then save the file and reboot [08:32] cypha: Alright, I just switched my location to NY, and I'm showing 3:32.

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:20] how can I run a command repeatedly on a command line? [09:22] burner: i know that. you are telling me there isn't any default root password (when LivdCD) is ran, when i type su, its for the password. I simply typed enter, and authentication failed [09:22] Good day. How can I format a HDD? [09:22] kwan: you can make a root password [09:22] burner: it asks for* [09:22] the password is not blank [09:22] it simply doesn't exist [09:22] kwan: use sudo [09:22] burner: i see. so how do i create one for the root, if i'm in the terminal [09:22] "sudo passwd" will set the root password so you can use "su" again, but that's lame, just use sudo for the application you want to run :) [09:23] burner: okay thx [09:23] kane77: for loops are cool [09:23] i lost sound and the wirelees driver or something that doesnt "enable" eth1? I have done tons of things and no success. when i try to ifup eth1 it tells me unrecognized or somethhing? It happened when I tried updating to the 8 version. The wirless icon doesnt have any routers in the wireless connection list. have you heard anything like this or do you have a clue how nd what to fix? [09:24] kane77: http://www.netadmintools.com/art423.html for example [09:24] The Drive is USB, and I try to get this NTFS sh*( off that disk. It's an external USB drive.

Did all that and found NO HELP AT ALL [09:26] I'd like to install ubuntu server through PXE, can this be done? [09:26] gumponthewe1: did you try the ' system -> admin -> hardware drivers ' ? [09:26] Sure, I can't tell you how but I know one of the Universities here has a network port in their computing common room that lets you boot an install Ubuntu over th network [09:26] i'm planning to dual boot windows with an existing ubuntu installation. is there some info i should write down before i do this. i know grub will be written over. [09:27] LSD|Ninja: pxe server :) [09:27] how come only gmail accounts car recieve mail from my posftix server? created using this guide (http://howtoforge.com/virtual-users-and-domains-with-postfix-ubuntu-7.10) [09:27] burner: Can I go back to previous, eveything worked well, after upgrade the wireless was the first thing wrong we noticed, got on the forums and noone can tell anybody how or what to fix... What should I do? [09:27] how? [09:27] do I need to download ubuntu server ? [09:27] I've already configured dhcp and tftp [09:27] gumponthewe1: you can't go back, but forge on, you can make it work! :) try the hardware drivers thing [09:28] i have a new hp laptop with an atheros wireless card, ubuntu tells me that the atheros hardware abstraction layer is currently 'in use' however i cant get a madwifi driver installed or my wireless working, how do i do this? [09:28] mudd`Hossam: since gmail can receive your mails, so can others. but hotmail blocks mof the mails [09:28] burner: yea, you mean for my wirless, yea it was all fine, just not letting eth1 be enabled, it had a star saying disabled [09:28] burner, will that work on kubuntu by itself? o.0 [09:28] i get an hour glass for a few seconds then nothing seems to happen [09:28] Gin: @san.rr.com doesnt recieve them, and @hotmail.com wont either [09:28] burner: I figured that was part of it what I meant was I couldn't explain how they set it up [09:29] Gin: my ip is not on spamhaus or anything, what can i do to alleviate this issue? [09:29] mudd`Hossam: contact hotmail? [09:29] LSD|Ninja: me either, cds have always worked quicker than figuring out pxe for me ;) [09:29] burner :can i go back to old setup untill those wireless bugs are fixed?.... It seems to only be laptops? [09:29] Gin: eeeeugh, should i have roundcube (imap client) use my ISP smtp server?

[09:32] is it a known problam that hardy's partitionmanager stalls if you try creating a swap file with a random key? [09:32] gumponthewe1: boot the latest kernel... pick hardware drivers, and enable it [09:32] gumponthewe1: you dno't have to use ndiswrapper do you? [09:32] ohhh, how... I am not that trick at this yet. [09:33] never ming my question: found it under "main menu" [09:33] mind [09:33] the latest kernel should be booted by default. i would really make sure you have all the latest updates too [09:33] oh yea, when i use the new boot it wont let me open my hardware manager...what then?

[11:30] hi kling0n [11:30] I'm sorry if I'm on the wrong channel, but I need some help with the wget command [11:30] i just upgrade from feisty [11:31] sorry for broding... but 1/3 of my application launches goes bad due to dbus errors [11:31] chalcedony: hi :) [11:31] how can I get a web folder using wget ? [11:31] steph_: wget -r [11:31] steph_: wget -r -l1 [11:31] krammer_ i'm trying to upgrade from feisty to hardy, it stopped at gutsy [11:31] steph_: might be better to take further questions about it to #ubuntu-offtopic [11:31] I want to retrieve the www.website/folder/subfolder* [11:31] I tried -R [11:31] ill brb [11:31] i am having a peculiar annoying issue, i plug my wireless card (usb) it disconnects, connects and keeps doing that for a while and then never connects again, i have t remove it and plug it in again (dwl-g122) [11:31] steph_: wget -r -np www.website/folder/ [11:32] thanks gordonjcp kling0n === nunuk is now known as mug [11:32] would i be better off running a Hardy Server or a Gutsy Server ? [11:32] markf, now uninstalling java5 basically, should I only uninstall the plugin? [11:32] mjnbrn: hardy is an LTS distribution [11:33] mjnbrn: so it'll be supported for at least three years [11:33] Wouter136321: both would make sense... I don't have both [11:33] markf, ok, done [11:33] let's see [11:33] five years for server [11:33] gordonjcp: thank you :) [11:33] bazhang: oh, is it? [11:33] !lts [11:33] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [11:33] mjnbrn: it's also generally newer to begin with, which is good ;-) [11:33] Wouter136321: try to close ff first ;) [11:33] mjnbrn: dapper is still a good call for servers [11:34] kling0n, worked perfectly thank you [11:34] youre welcome [11:34] markf, yeah I closed it and restarted it, problem stays... [11:35] Is anyone else intimidated by the shear number of programs you can install? [11:35] ninina: no. just install them all :) [11:35] Wouter136321: then we need to search if more people have the same problem... :( [11:35] so much clutter [11:35] Can someone tell me where the best place to ask for ALSA support would be? [11:35] chat in #ubuntu-offtopic ninina [11:35] mcphail: I tried installing all the games in the repos once and it broke. [11:35] ninina: use the "add application" [11:35] #alsa [11:36] Fair enough. [11:36] ninina: from the menu... its nicely categorized and has ratings [11:36] hello,upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.24-17) my wifi card does not work anymore, while instead before the updgrade with 2.6.4.22-14 it works. So now I have to boot with the old kernel to make it work... === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [11:36] puccio: what card and which driver? [11:36] i seem to have lost my gui .. kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot [11:36] Can anyone help me, i got my new computer, it has 2 nvidia 9800gtx, i installed nv beta drivers since default nv drivers don't support this card yet, now i want to setup sli but i can't find any documentation on it [11:36] hi, I trashed my fstab. I'm using livecd and don't want to wipe my installation... [11:36] Does anyone have a foggy idea of why my tty's would just turn up black screens instead of prompts? [11:36] markf, actually I have to go now. I'll try to find a solution later. I just saw that the Firefox 3 RC1 is out, so maybe that solves some probs [11:36] puccio, the -16 is standard [11:37] Anyone in the UK watching BBC News 24 just now :) Ubuntu on Click [11:37] Wobbo: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8174/README/32bit_html/index.html [11:37] kling0n, I'm on an intel laptop, the card uses the driver ipw3945 is it possible? [11:37] !ot | digitalspaghetti [11:37] digitalspaghetti: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:37] Wouter136321: how about in FF2? you can install this as well... [11:37] ninina, The reason there is allot of programs because there is no single !best application for any single user. It's best to go over each program and find one that fits you. If you need help with it, message me. [11:37] bazhang, -16 is standar but which kernel numer exactly ? [11:37] markf, is it possible to run them together on one system? [11:37] puccio, you using proposed? [11:37] kajo: is compiz and/or xgl running? I know someone who had to disable them to get a tty [11:38] puccio: this might be for you: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/using-ipw3945-instead-iwl3945-in-hardy.html [11:38] can anyone tell me what my fstab should look like? and what the correct permissions for /home &c are? [11:38] greetings from monkey island [11:39] Hello. I am trying to connect my Samsung YP-K3 to my Ubuntu Linux and copy files there with AmaroK. I have installed libmtp7, but AmaroK doesn't detect it automatically. When I run dcop kded mediamanager fullList it gives me some errors, such as DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! - what can I do? [11:39] mcphail, I have *nothing* running. I am in fluxbox, trying to install my system. I used startx (purposely have no display manager), and now fluxbox's right click menu is not working, so I can't get to terminal. No problem, except that my tty's won't work either. [11:39] bazhang, I installed all the linux image packages which are available on the repository at the moment (apparently 2 or 3) and I experimented booting with them. WIth the latest one, I have problems [11:39] Wouter136321: I read that someone disabled the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications addon and scrolling was ok... [11:39] kling0n, thanks I'll give a look, but it's weird before it was all working fine [11:39] puccio, which is why they are in proposed :) [11:39] aliosha: it might be easier if you describe the problem you're trying to solve [11:39] Aleksander-pl, isn't there a MSC mode on that player as well? [11:39] mcphail, so no- I have neither of those running. Though, if you asked me to check, I wouldn't know how, as I can't open terminal to run top or pstree. :\ [11:39] kahrytan, how to check it? [11:39] markf, I tried that, but didn't work [11:39] Wouter136321: here is the bug report: you can read it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/217580 [11:39] Launchpad bug 217580 in xulrunner-1.9 "Slow performance with Gmail" [Medium,Fix committed] [11:39] puccio: i think the driver was dropped in the new release [11:40] Aleksander-pl, Read the players manual. Ifthere is, use that instead. Drag and Drop is easier. [11:40] puccio: you might try adding the backprts repository [11:40] kajo: try creating a file called /home/kajo/.config/xserver-xgl/disable and restart x [11:40] bazhang, kling0n so basically you say I should backport to the old driver? [11:40] puccio: might be the easiest... [11:40] Wouter136321: workaround is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4412617 [11:41] puccio: or you could try troubleshooting on the new one "my card doesn't work" is not a lot of description to try and problem solve from :) [11:41] hi [11:41] Wouter136321: just read the bug report more... i will read it now as well ;) [11:41] kling0n, i know i know but the only output i get is that with the latest kernel my card really just do nothing, in dmesg i don't have any significant output [11:41] soundray: ok. my linux doesn't log in (boots ok) and it says because permissions on $home are screwed (paraphrased) [11:41] is there an install cd which includes all 3 ubuntu desktops? [11:41] puccio: so no driver gets loaded? [11:41] kling0n, I can't even switch it on/off (no led actived) [11:42] Wouter136321: which theme are you using? [11:42] puccio: could you pastebin output from lspci ? [11:42] Chrysalis, not one supported here [11:42] hi [11:42] Wouter136321: I'm using the blue clearlooks theme... [11:42] I've just ran the update manager and I can see that there's an update which appears as grayed out, and I cannot select it. Is this normal? I'm using ubuntu's 64bit version, iכ that makes a difference. [11:42] now I booted frmo the working kernel. Is it out to paste lspci from here? [11:42] soundray: it gets more fun. /home is a different partition, and the way i managed to screw the permissions was to try and mount it at /home/alex [11:42] hello. I cant connect to MSN in Pidgin, however e.g. IRC works.. I get the error message; "Unable to connect".. [11:42] Wouter136321: You can go to: Preference - Appearance [11:42] !pastebin | puccio [11:42] if even [11:42] puccio: 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) [11:42] bazhang: how about a plain one with no DE [11:42] hi all [11:43] bazhang: so i can install whichever de i want after that [11:43] just a quick question re. ftp [11:43] kling0n, ok. yes I'm doing it [11:43] Wouter136321: You can go to: Preference - Appearance - Clearlooks [11:43] every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs [11:43] markf, on my way [11:43] how can I download a directory with ftp [11:43] !minimal | Chrysalis [11:43] Chrysalis: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:43] Wouter136321: ok [11:43] aliosha: so your data ended up in /home/alex/alex ? [11:43] Wouter136321: ok [11:43] How do I create this file without having a terminal or gui to start programs from? ctr + alt +dlt doesn't even work, though I can move my mouse and righ click on the taskbar. Should I just hard restart and go from there? [11:43] fla10 msn updates at random times and doesn't keep up with linux very well, wait and it might work again in awhile [11:43] Wouter136321: that's the theme I'm using... [11:43] @ mcphail [11:43] kling0n, http://pastebin.com/m4338f229 <-- is it what you meant? [11:43] would normaly use scp but can only ftpto this server [11:43] markf, I just have the Firefox default theme [11:44] kajo: you must have a terminal before you type "startx" :) [11:44] chalcedony: thank you very much [11:44] bazhang: do those have gparted? [11:44] soundray: yes: well, I ended up with 2 copies of data, because there was already a full set in sda2 [11:44] markf, also, I can't find appearance in the preferences of FF [11:44] any one here any good with ftp? commandline [11:44] mcphail - I used a terminal to type startx, the terminal that started when I booted; I don't have gdm or other display mgr. After typing startx, I lost access. [11:45] Chrysalis, it is a 9mb installer; only what you want gets installed, including gnome or kde [11:45] markf, if I go to the Add-ons and look at themes I only see the Firefox default theme [11:45] hi [11:45] puccio: does the driver load ? [11:45] aliosha: I don't think that's what happened. Rather, your sda2 partition was mounted twice -- once on /media/sda2 and once on /home/alex -- correct? [11:45] every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs [11:45] !hi | perlmonkey [11:45] perlmonkey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [11:45] it wasn't on /media/sda2 at all [11:45] bazhang hi [11:45] Wouter136321: It's the Ubuntu them... you have to go to System - blabla... [11:45] kling0n, as I was saying, I am now on the working kernel, otherwise I wouldn't be connected to Internet :) [11:45] perlmonkey, you have support question or just wish to chat? [11:45] concerning Chrysalis, isn't there a DVD that has all the 'buntu's on it? [11:45] kajo: try pressing "Alt-SysRq-R" then "Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" [11:46] kling0n, if you are still here I can lspci from the non-working kernel, copy it locally, and then reconnect and paste it [11:46] bazhang I have a support question [11:46] every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs [11:46] aliosha: is alex the only user you created on the system?

[11:46] !ask | perlmonkey [11:46] perlmonkey: 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. :-) [11:46] soundray: yes [11:46] every time i boot my laptop i have to manually load ifdown and ifup to get my wifi connection going, i was wondering if there is a way to do this automatically? i need it done just before login, since my /home is mounted on nfs [11:46] puccio: lspci should not be different between kernels [11:46] mcphail, I typed them in the wrong order. :\ now I just have a black screen. xD [11:47] kajo: yea i think there is, though i dont have a dvd drive ;p [11:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 perlmonkey see here [11:47] phoenix_ bonjour [11:47] how can I check that the hardware of a laptop i am planning to buy is supported by linux?

[11:47] kajo, one that is not supported here yes [11:47] aliosha: can you boot the system from a live CD? [11:47] perlmonkey, You use sudo with ifup?

At least that works now. [11:48] didnt know you couldnt upgrade form the LiveCD and just went ahead and dl'ed it [11:48] can anyone tell me what Grub error 17 is? [11:48] I think the reason why my network connection isnt starting automatically is because I had to use wpa_supplicant for WPA support [11:48] legend2440, thanks [11:48] What are those esoteric keystrokes???

[11:52] Hello. How do i get my microphone to work on Ubuntu? I searched google, but most of the instructions there don't help.. but i think it's also because my pc's sound doesn't work.

[11:54] rom correct that's how it works. [11:54] soundray: um? [11:54] soundray: at the moment is at /media/disk-1 [11:54] aliosha: is /dev/sda3 your root? [11:54] soundray: yes [11:54] CorpseFeeder: sorry i do not know for sure, formatting should remove it.. maybe this is helpful: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/4494 [11:54] rsk : it's a bit annoying [11:55] yea [11:55] perlmonkey, Wouldn't update-grub work? [11:55] aliosha: can you do a 'sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt' and let me have the output of 'ls -l /mnt' (okay to paste it here if it's just one line) [11:56] markf, yeah I experience increased performance in scrolling in general (also in chat here), but the gmail problem is still there. So I think there still is another bug that is causing this [11:56] markf, I really have to go now tho. Thanks a lot for all the help!

Let's see. some of the latest reports on the bug tracker say that the latest firefox 3 nightly fixes the problem [11:58] anyone here using a 7600GT AGP card on 64 bit amd? [11:58] markf, hopefully that is also in the new RC1 [11:58] That's what the manual says at least [11:58] kling0n, sorry my connection went down. Did you reply perhaps?

Thanks a lot :) [12:00] aliosha: okay, I'm starting to understand. I think all you need to do is to fix the permissions on the mountpoint itself -- the contents of your /home/user partition seem okay [12:00] if sli is turned on in xorg.conf, would it fail to load if sli hardware wasn't propperly installed? [12:01] hi, how does one go about mounting a usb card reader? There is no /dev/sda showing in my /dev/ folder...

[12:03] soundray: useful stuff [12:03] aliosha: that way, when you fix the permissions, it knows that you mean the 'alex' in your installed system, not the 'alex' in the live system, which presumably doesn't exist [12:04] soundray: very much so [12:04] can someone confirm that libtotem-plparser10 is BROKEN right now?

Need to put in a field that is out of view? Yes, its a constant gripe. Luckily there is the extension "dragtoscroll". This needs to be fixed in ff3 as it only requires a tiny amount of code (eg the extension is 3 KB) and it will be even more important as ff3 finally has recieved native ability to drag-and-drop between tabs. [12:22] soundray: failure. ouch [12:22] does anyone know what that is? [12:22] Martiini, that proc thing - is a feature that not all kernels have enabled.

[12:23] The kernel .config is in /boot ? never seen that in there... [12:23] Jezz, right click on the panel I think you can add it [12:23] aliosha: what did it say? [12:23] Martiini, if you don't know where the kernel config goes then you should probably not mess with it... [12:23] well im not on ubuntu now but will try it thnx [12:23] Dr_willis: /boot/config-$(uname -r) [12:24] Dr_willis: Im on gentoo and all kernel configs are in /boot [12:24] y a t il des francais ?

WHAT should I do now? [12:25] Dr_willis: ubuntu is a little different than most distros too, in the sense that they don't enable /proc/config.gz for some reason ;) [12:25] Dr_willis: and ubuntu config is also in /boot [12:25] hello perlmonkey [12:25] anyone know where the notification sounds in ubuntu are stored ? [12:25] chalcedony, now you should try what you were doing before [12:25] damouille: whats up [12:25] aliosha: okay, changing the permissions has not worked then. hwilde's suggestion won't work -- of course you know that... [12:25] ca va? [12:25] soundray, hwilde: I am running from livecd, so need the bash thing to make /media/disk root first... [12:25] aliosha: you're booted back into the live CD? [12:25] hwilde thank you [12:25] fevets:I have install network-manager, but the icon doesn't appear [12:26] also, the bar on the top seems "flat" in the some screenshots it looks a bit more 3d [12:26] aliosha, type in "sudo fdisk -l" and figure out which disk like /dev/hda1 or whatever [12:26] void^ i must of overlooked that file. :) i recall others asking about the kernel .config in here. and never seeing them get that answer. :) but then again..

I *could* try 'chown alex.alex /mnt/home/alex' again... [13:01] aliosha: I think part of the problem is that your user data is all in the root of the partition. [13:01] when i got a call i open my video i have not listen to the person that calls me [13:01] aliosha: I'm not sure, but it's possible that mounting changes the ownership of the mount point.

[13:17] It was great to see my Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX work right after I installed Ubuntu 8.04, good work! The problems is, though, that the activity light doesn't light up when the camera is in use. Is this a config option somewhere or should I report this as a bug?

[13:18] skype or what [13:18] rouini: no, ubuntu [13:18] yes i do so [13:19] rouini: you may need the dmix fix. See the factoid: [13:19] !sound | rouini [13:19] rouini: 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).

[13:25] ahhh I'm just removing Wine atm myself [13:25] Prodoc: see 'ls /sys/module/gspca/parameters' [13:26] hwilde, I can't use the touchpad hotkey, is keytouch able to help me with that?

[13:26] welcome back aliosha [13:26] soundray: the other thing about livecd is that you have to reinstall xchat every time you boot [13:26] Prodoc: if you want to set one, try for example 'echo 4 | sudo tee /sys/module/gspca/parameters/gamma' [13:26] hello Trium [13:27] Prodoc: if /sys/module/gspca exists, it's using that driver [13:27] Hi, i can view my creative vista webcam on my xawtv and cheese software, but My gyachi / Kopate is unable to broadcast the view... Help me please. [13:27] help! brasero consistently fails to burn - gnomebaker works fine as does cd/dvd writer built-in to gnome. purely due to speed. I get fails from all burning apps when the drive tries to burn at full speed. how do I limit brasero to a lower speed [13:27] aliosha: either that, or you use the chat program that's installed (pidgin, I think) [13:27] I found the perfect solution to getting flash working on 64-bit ubuntu, atleast if you have the problem where youtube freezes after 2 seconds. All you need to do is uninstall libflashsupport [13:27] anyone know where the notification sounds in ubuntu are stored ? [13:27] soundray: it didn't work... [13:27] soundray: cool, it does [13:28] don't know why I didn't think of it sooner [13:28] aye pidgin I think is installed by default [13:28] aliosha: same error? [13:28] soundray: nope :D [13:28] Hello. I was wondering if there was a program inside the Ubuntu repositories that I could sudo apt-get, to reconfigure the screen on my laptop. [13:28] negge: doesn't that make the sound stop working? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [13:29] adam7 nope [13:29] Teapot: there is nvidia-settings if you have a nvidia graphics card [13:29] Hi I am having trouble getting emerald to work on a HP laptop with nvidia graphics , anyone out there have the same problem?

[13:30] negge: ah, then that's why: with pulse, it stops working with sound :) [13:30] hello [13:30] anyone know where the notification sounds in ubuntu are stored ? [13:30] Yamanickill [13:30] donno [13:30] Teapot: then I don't know.. but what do you want to reconfigure? [13:30] anyone know how to adjust screen brightness in knoppix?

[13:30] adam7 is there any advantage of using pulseaudio instead of alsa (in this case)? [13:31] shinao1 there is no root password [13:31] shinao1: you'll need a live cd [13:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12719/ [13:31] yamanickil /usr/share/sounds [13:31] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12719/ [13:31] shinao1 boot in recovery mode and change your own pass [13:31] I *think* [13:31] single mode [13:31] igge: I wish to change the screen resolution and colour depth as the screen on my laptop worked in PCLinuxOS when I did that via the command line. [13:31] negge: not in your case -- pulse has some cool new features, however, like network streaming audio support [13:31] soundray: 'ls /sys/module/gspca/parameters' doesn't give me something for the activity light. Does this mean I should report a gspca Package bug? [13:31] negge: it tried booting to the recovery mode but it still took me to the login gui [13:31] shinao1: did you set a root password for that computer? [13:31] no i didnt [13:32] aliosha: hmm, interesting... [13:32] hey firefox rc1 is here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html [13:32] but i would like to login and change the passwords since ive forgotten all the passwords on the machine [13:32] Teapot: System/Preferences/Screen Resolution doesn't work? [13:32] Trium: thanks, that was correct [13:32] shinao1: then using recovery mode should allow you to change the root password -- make sure when you get to the prompt, you do passwd USER to change USER's password [13:32] hey, i live in belarus, and when i receive ubuntu cd`s, my post wanna take total value from another side of postmail [13:32] bug? Totem occasionally and Kaffeine crash GDM -- are there others with the same issue here?

[13:33] igge: Okay. Thanks very much for your help. [13:33] Prodoc: on the other hand, it's probably better to get in touch with the gspca developers about this [13:33] hi, how do i install the divx web playaer? [13:34] soundray: ok, different applications using the webcam produce the same result so I'll give that a try [13:34] mohbana: go to synaptic, search divx player...?

[13:36] soundray: heh, where do I find the gspca people? :-D [13:36] aliosha: excellent. What does ls -l /mnt/home say? [13:36] hi im getting a green screen on media playback and need to know how to change video output driver [13:37] adam7: in the recovery console the machine asks for root password for maintenance [13:37] shinao1: that probably means you set a root password [13:37] Any users in China?

I did what many pages say and sym-linked libjavaplugin_oji.so to various places e.g. /usr/lib/firefox(-3.0b5)/plugins etc and it does not show up in about:plugins. Yes I did google and even tried the "sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /opt/java/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so" trick. [13:53] hi,there? [13:54] Trium: perhaps you've set a http proxy? [13:54] I have a question... Somehow I have lost all the borders around my windows... How can I get them back? [13:54] Saladin: disable compiz [13:54] I havnt configured a proxy under System-->Network Proxy, and havnt touched the config of eth0 [13:55] Saladin: right-click Desktop, Change background, visual effets -> none [13:55] compiz is to blame === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [13:55] But, but... I like my visual effects. And it only happened about ten minutes ago [13:55] Will I be able to reactivate Compiz afterwards? [13:55] Trium: is this Chairon thing the proxy you've set? [13:56] Saladin: select no effects, then revert [13:56] nope thats the name of this PC [13:56] saladin: you could also try running either "metacity --replace" or "emerald --replace" to get them back, depending on wether you use emerald, or the default decorator [13:56] Saladin: did you use the restricted-drivers-manager? [13:56] Saladin?? === PrivateVoid is now known as PrivateVoid_AFK [13:56] Trium: do you get this error when you do 'sudo ls'? [13:56] Yes, koro? [13:56] soundray, Hm. Alsa is selected, but producing sounds is not the problem. It's that programs hogs sound resource. For instance, sometimes when flash and firefox is running, I can't play music, and if I play music in amarok, I can't play on the synth zynAddSub . And sometimes the only fix to "clear soundcard" is reboot (or maybe a magic cl command) [13:56] Saladin: my nick isn't familiar to you, right? [13:56] soundray: it there a known prob with the Java plugin in 8.04? see my post above [13:57] how can i manage hardware device with a GUI in xubuntu? anyone give me some hints? thanks :) [13:57] I did, followed by a password prompt [13:57] havchr: did this happen after upgrading, or is it a fresh install? [13:57] koro, no it isn't, Should it be? [13:57] different saladin i guess, nvm [13:57] nazgul: not that I know of [13:57] legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12726/ === Dew420[a] is now known as Dew420 [13:57] And the metacity --replace command worked brilliantly [13:57] Thanks guys [13:58] soundray, fresh install. I've had this problem on every computer I've run ubuntu on. HDA nvidia and HDA intel machines.. and maybe one other on-board soundcard that I can't remember the name of. [13:58] how do I determine the installed gspca version? the package manager does not list gspca as installed [13:58] hi,guys? how can i manage hardware device with a GUI in xubuntu? anyone give me some hints? thanks :) [13:58] how can i get a nice hardware overview whitin ubuntu? [13:58] havchr: I think you may need the DmixPlugin fix from the factoid [13:59] tingle: which version? [13:59] Prodoc: 'sudo modinfo gspca' ;) [13:59] 'sudo modinfo gspca' does not give me a version number either [13:59] aliosha: oh ok. well i'm glad your back in business. soundray went above and beyond on that one :) [13:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228363 [13:59] Launchpad bug 228363 in ubuntu "Hauppauge PVR-150 with no audio after upgrading to Hardy" [Undecided,New] [13:59] soundray: yes I tried that first ;-) === peter__ is now known as paddax [14:00] havchr, how about /etc/init.c/alsa-utils restart [14:00] legend2440, it was good fun (and educational) [14:00] err .d* [14:00] legend2440: once I started, I couldn't abandon aliosha ;) [14:00] aliosha: lol [14:00] soundray, I've also heard that pulseAudio is something that should fix this. But I don't really know that much about computers. [14:00] dpowerd, isn't that just cleaning up after the problem instead of fixing it? [14:00] Also, another question... Is there a way in Ubuntu, like the Windows feature to increase data transfer from HDD to HDD by increasing priorities. Like you can with explorer.exe in Windows? [14:00] Soundray: Killed a frozen process of update manager, i still get the resolve error but the package has now been downloaded. Ill have a play and see if im having some network ishoos! [14:00] havchr, perhaps :\ [14:01] o.O my firefox wont start and my log off/shut off/ restart etc menu wont show up [14:01] does ram get more used up in 64-bit? [14:01] soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12726/ is an explanation [14:01] J-Unit: yes, a bit [14:01] where i change the HZ on the monitor to 65HZ or higher in the xorg.conf ? [14:01] aliosha: yeah, I saw it, thanks [14:01] soundray, well how much cuz i had the impression it was almost double the memory [14:02] aliosha: still not sure why this /tmp thing happened [14:02] J-Unit: my impression was ca. 25% (but I haven't checked) [14:02] hello, i gotta a question, how can i make grub scan for new systems....and update the menu.list????????? [14:02] !fixgrub > joako [14:02] soundray, u mean 125%? [14:02] J-Unit: yes [14:03] soundray, ok, just wanted to know [14:03] soundray, thx [14:03] hi [14:03] Prodoc: perhaps if you search dmesg output for gspca, you may find a version number there [14:03] thanx [14:03] soundray, nor am i. [14:03] Take care all, thanks for the help Soundray! [14:03] 4 Hours to Age Of Conan early access :D [14:03] !virtualization [14:03] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [14:03] Trium: how did you fix it now? [14:04] soundray, although from that forum, it seems that it might be an update bug [14:04] fine [14:04] !Wine [14:04] 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. [14:04] could anyone help me quickly?

[14:05] take care, thanks again! [14:05] Trium: you should make sure that your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname are correct [14:05] I was just wondering to install ubuntu I just wipe my hardisk, and insert the cd, no? [14:05] !hostname | Trium [14:05] Trium: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [14:06] Hepoco: you could. You could also leave the wiping to the installer. [14:06] !vmware [14:06] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

[14:06] how does one reset gnome-panel's settings to default? [14:06] is it compeltely safe? [14:06] What are the minimum specs for Ubuntu Server Edition? [14:07] as in, I wont lose any data? [14:07] You will lose data on the partition you want to install to. [14:07] As it formats the partition [14:07] Hepoco, you said "wipe" [14:07] But, other than that, you won't lose any data [14:07] Hepoco: no, when you resize a partition, things like a powercut can lead to data loss. Always have a backup. [14:07] #ubuntu-il [14:07] Just ensure you install to an empty partition [14:08] Can some one help me [14:09] I downloaded ubuntu and burned the image to cd when i boot from disk everything seems fine but it never loads [14:09] Hello Everyone!

Where I can make movies out of images (+ sound) [14:11] aliosha: I think you have to log into failsafe mode and delete $HOME/.gnome2/panel2.d [14:11] Hi - can't believe I got myself into this situation. I effectively did sudo rm * in /usr/bin. I cancelled it by the time it had got to g, but that means that apt, aptitude, dpkg etc are gone so I can't reinstall stuff. I've downloaded the ubuntu iso but I can't open it to copy the files out, and I downloaded the dpkg .deb package but have the same problem. I had thought of burning the iso and trying to fix from a live environment [14:12] tetrapus, I recommend trying dyne:bolic... [14:12] ouch [14:12] soundray, fun... here goes :D [14:12] Hi everyone [14:12] Tetrapus, I would also recommend lives, as that seems good. [14:12] anyone who can help me install ubuntu? [14:12] hi,boy [14:12] kajo: What is Dyne:bolic like? [14:12] plamen: burn cd boot, and install ? [14:13] plamen: okay, I'll pop round. Where do you live? [14:13] kajo, saladin, are dyne:bolic / lives in the repos? [14:13] just kidding [14:13] Lives isn't, I don't think. [14:13] hi, ubuntu has a plugin for firefox where it covers flash content with a grey screen with a play sign... what is it called? [14:13] that add-on for firefox [14:13] It is an add on for FF [14:13] Called "Stop Auto-Play" [14:13] flashblock? [14:14] rsk: I dowloaded the 64bit iso and burnt it on a CD, i get in the initial menu but that's about it [14:14] I have a problem in Xubuntu 8.04 with a portuguese keyboard: Basically, when I try to make the @ sign (Alt Gr + 2) it will turn on caps lock and num lock and it makes it impossible for me to do the @ sign using the keyboard. Can someone tell me how to make it behave properly? [14:14] Saladin: cool, thanks. [14:14] soundray: thanks but no thanks :-) [14:14] FlashBlock is a bit different, in that it blocks ALL flash, not just videos/music [14:14] Saladin: my bro had it on his laptop, it was awesome... so I asked. [14:14] I love it. [14:15] plamen: have you checked the CD? There is a boot option for it [14:15] Also, you may wanna try noscript [14:15] It makes things so much safer [14:15] soundray: i tried but nothing works [14:15] rss: you'd need to get it from addons.mozilla.org [14:15] hi. [14:15] i am currently using ubuntu fesity [14:15] and i want to know how can i do apt-get java [14:15] i have version 1.5 currently [14:16] but it still complains to me that i dont have java [14:16] kajo: huh? dynebolic seems rather complicated, booting? [14:16] pls help [14:16] plamen: it's safe to assume you've burned a coaster then. Do a md5sum check of the .iso you downloaded before you try again. [14:16] hello, is it possible to see what packages are installed with apt-get? [14:16] I know... it is only for youtube and like? [14:16] !md5sum | plamen [14:16] plamen: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [14:16] hello, I used lvm on part of my harddisk when I install from the alternative cd.

[14:39] IdleOne: apt should do that automatically [14:39] IdleOne: No. The issue is that apt-get install git should install *git*.

[14:48] yamanickill, ubuntu's not the problem, the problem is manufactorers not providing drivers [14:48] In terms of setting up a network, can I use all desktop versions, or would you recommend I use a Server edition of Ubuntu as well? [14:48] LM ? =? [14:48] perfector: ok, thx bro. I'll try to check my firewall now. but i need to reboot first. see u later :) [14:48] unimatrix9: it can't just have been a driver issue.

[14:49] i like to keep one that works out the box just incase i get any problems...i use an LM technologies USB one and it works perfectly...just seems to be laptop ones i've had problems with [14:49] its really hard to pick out an pci wireless card that works out of the box this way.. [14:49] but...having said that..i've never not got one to work...eventually they all work with me [14:49] perfector: define "base". you still have all of X [14:49] hi [14:49] perfector: gnome is part of ubuntu's "base" [14:49] hard cash if you make the wrong choice [14:50] wols: uh yeah ok i get it now.. [14:50] wols: thx [14:50] unimatrix9: pretty much none does. your best choice is atheros (intel is another good choice but they only exist built in usually) [14:50] there are drivers which could work out of the box (ralink, zd1211, etc) [14:50] but in the end they have various problems [14:51] how accurate is ubuntuhcl.org?? [14:51] hi.... [14:51] unimatrix9: I've found that i can get most wireless drivers working eventually [14:51] can anyone tell me why i can acess keyring manager without having to eneter a password and from there it can show my password for that keyring, hardly secure! [14:51] ralink was the discussion of not working correctly [14:51] hi.... [14:51] yamanickill: yes, but with how much hassle (or ndiswrapper) [14:51] unimatrix9: the driver is Free, but it's shit [14:51] i guess before buying any hw its best to check there [14:51] not too happy about the hardware or software there [14:51] wols: only one took longer than 10 mins [14:51] ohmy wols [14:51] hi........

[15:00] and for vlc, do i do sudo apt-get install vlc-nox ? [15:00] lyzium: I'm not on my Ubuntu box, but you can get that info from one of the items in the system -> administration menu. [15:00] is that the right one? [15:00] wols: so you think i should get one card that has 2 outputs rather than 2 cards? [15:00] cypha: sudo apt-get install vlc [15:01] i see [15:01] k [15:01] yamanickill: yes. and a decent one. what mobo/cpu? [15:01] lyzium: or you can read through the output of dmesg :) [15:01] yamanickill: and what usage for the PC? [15:01] yamanickill: the 8400gs will be as fast or faster than your built in card [15:01] otherboard is an intel...can't remember model number [15:02] Hi, does anyone know why when I play my music it plays at a slightly different frequency?

[15:48] favro: it's the hippy part of linux :) we prefer open source .. however sometimes companies doesn't like to "share" their specs or open up their codes.. so linux is forced (to some degree) to provide "closed" code.

[15:57] BSG75: unlikely [15:57] BSG75: what error are you getting? if any [15:57] WGGMK: yet when I logon to gmail using FF I can do everything just fine [15:58] need help i installed xubuntu to usb disk but still is very slow my pc is 256mb ram and 1.4ghzz pro [15:58] need help i installed xubuntu to usb disk but still is very slow my pc is 256mb ram and 1.4ghzz pro [15:58] WGGMK: eventually it just times out [15:58] memory speed is related to performance most of the time, the memory size is not so much (depending on the texture sizes...) [15:58] wols: nope, when I try to turn it on, it just flickers one time, and then displays: "Desktop effects could not be enabled". Both for Normal and Extra [15:58] Dew420: hi. I'm glad you mentioned that b/c I just installed hardy on my laptop. When I watch videos on youtube, it the video lags so badly that its almost unwatchable. At first, I thought it was my laptop, then I thought it was a firefox buggie. So, is the flash problem a confirmed bug? [15:58] nm-applet is not picking up any wireless ap?, [15:58] l went to places > connect to server > ssh, and now i cant delete the bookmark. where is it saved [15:58] bazhang: thanks for your help but something is missing here .. [15:58] WGGMK: says the smtp server is not there or accepting connection.. but if I take out attachment .. it works just fine :( [15:58] 我来了， [15:58] BSG75: how large is the attachment your trying to send.. im not too familiar with that application but perhaps there is a limit on size? [15:58] WGGMK: 10-800k [15:58] bazhang: are u good at printers [15:58] 有那为朋友在的 [15:59] BSG75: who is your ISP? double check your SMTP settings [15:59] !ubott [15:59] Factoid ubott not found [15:59] mc-george sorry, cant help you more. [15:59] !ubot [15:59] Factoid ubot not found [15:59] WGGMK: checked my smtp ... my ISP shaw in Canada [15:59] !jp | chenyong88 [15:59] chenyong88: 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [15:59] nm-applet is not picking up any wireless ap?, [15:59] 看不懂 [15:59] need help i installed xubuntu to usb disk but still is very slow my pc is 256mb ram and 1.4ghzz pro [15:59] need help i installed xubuntu to usb disk but still is very slow my pc is 256mb ram and 1.4ghzz pro [16:00] WGGMk: lots of video memory is often used in marketing, to sell cards with sub-par chips. [16:00] r: no one is going to help you if you keep being a dick [16:00] Hi there, can anyone tell me why nmap won't work when I execute it in ubuntu running on VMWare?? [16:00] Dew420, hello [16:00] BSG75: they may require Authentication for you to use their SMTP server, or they may have restrictions on attachments using their SMTP servers.. they may think your sending illegitimate files or something. I would call your ISP and see what they can do for you [16:00] i mean it works it just can't find anyone other than my own virtual machine and the router, noone else inside my network [16:00] ok iam not a dick help me now [16:00] hahaha [16:00] r, add more ram? [16:00] Kwan, I believe iti s yeah === emile is now known as skfhsiugfuiee [16:00] how do I manually (from CLI) enable compiz (visual effects) so I can see more detailed error messages? [16:00] Kwan : I have heard people mentioned youtube crashing FF. [16:00] WGGMK: even though I am using gmail? [16:00] not possible i hae ubuntu 6.06 how to i make that bootable [16:01] sunnybg: just run 'compiz --replace' [16:01] Kawn : I have yet to personally see it, It worked fine for me [16:01] sunnybg: type compiz --replace in console [16:01] crdlib: root or reg? [16:01] reg [16:01] void^: im not getting into specifics.. im just pointing out what you said was basically incorrect... memory and performance are most certaintly related in any case. the more the better.. but the same goes for GPU/CPU/BUS speeds.. if there isnt an equal balance to utilize the memory its fruitless [16:02] BSG75: yes, your using a POP client which means your not e-mailing thru gmails servers.. your e-mailing thru your ISP's servers [16:02] crdlb, cappy: thanks. [16:02] Dew420, what's FF? Any fixes or work arounds you could suggest? [16:02] BSG75: your only recieving e-mail from gmail's servers but it must go OUT thru your ISP before anything [16:02] FF = firefox [16:02] i dont think gmail supports full pop/smtp usage [16:02] I get a message during boot - "nvidia liscence has tainted kernel" - what are the repercussions from this apart from poor performance? [16:03] sudobash: actually it does [16:03] which means they will limit what you can do [16:03] kwan, FF = Firefox, [16:03] are you sure? [16:03] maybe that was yahoo i was thinking of [16:03] Kwan, Which firefox are you using? 2 or ff3b5? [16:03] Now, Xgl not present... what should I do, glxinfo says direct rendering yes - so 3d is on. [16:03] favro: Not really anything that you need to worry about as an end-user unless you're concerned particularly with how things are licensed [16:03] WGGMK: true .. but why the heck would someone filter TLS and SSl traffic? but then again we are talking Shaw here .. they are definitely no the brightest crayon in the box.. well calling them. [16:03] favro: And it shouldn't cause poor performance if you have an nvidia card :> [16:03] sudobash: https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86399 outgoing server name: smtp.gmail.com [16:03] sunnybg: that's not the error message; look below that [16:04] prower: it is the performance that I'm concerned about [16:04] What's the name of the default "monospace 12" font used in gnome-terminal? [16:04] I have no problems with flash + FF + youtube o.O [16:04] BSG75: I know its similar with Comcast Cable in the US, they require authentication (basic Username & Password) to use their SMTP server.. some are more strict [16:04] Dew420: Hardy comes with FF3B5. [16:04] favro, nvidia driver taints the kernel since its closed source [16:04] favro: Ah, well that message coming up shouldn't have anything to do with performance issues [16:04] Hi! I am updating Heron thru adept. It said that rss-glx is upgradable. I clicked request and I get Break(upgradable). Is it OK for me to proceed upgrading rss-glx? What is BREAK? [16:04] prower: I get better performance with half the mem on another comp running dapper [16:05] different vid card? [16:05] *vid card mem [16:05] Kwan : let me see if there is a fix yet. I think someone said yesterday they were working on it [16:05] i just upgraded to hardy but there seems to be a problem. 1.grub is showing two pairs of ubuntu 8.04 loaders .the first one starts with a screen and wide black rectangular patch in the centre of a white screen. while the other loader starts ubuntu in command mode asks for login but the screen keeps on flickering . finally the gui starts with some error prompt "low graphics like safemode setting" and then it shows the login page .after that the screen resolut [16:05] ion is altered and hardy is not able to recognise my graphics card .what should i do? [16:05] hi everybody! i have a very old linux-distro installed on a even older notebook (1ghz intel chip). i now tried to install ubuntu, xubuntu respectively, but when i reach the grub to choose if i want to install/try or whatever test ubuntu it doesn't do anything when i hit enter (just the cdrom runs, as it sounds like...). it this a problem with my old notebook or what could it be? i can boot into a gentoo instalation-environment on cd, but not [16:05] ubuntu... [16:06] Kwan : also, you can install FF2 on hardy, so I was just seeing if you had [16:06] Dew420, so its not flash (like u mentioned b4). I knew my laptop could at least handle youtube. lol [16:06] where do i download compiz-fusion [16:06] attila: I've never seen that line during boot before - that is the concern [16:06] ok i have crated a ubuntu usb stick its a live version so can i get fluxbox on it [16:06] ok i have crated a ubuntu usb stick its a live version so can i get fluxbox on it [16:06] jeleta: from the compiz-fusin website [16:06] crdlb: the other message is "Found laptop using ati driver"??? And then it says it falls back to metacity [16:07] this irc client its stupid it reapeats [16:07] this irc client its stupid it reapeats [16:07] t|zz, try xubuntu alternate install cd [16:07] yea but it is so damn confusing i cant find a link to download it there [16:07] i just upgraded to hardy but there seems to be a problem. 1.grub is showing two pairs of ubuntu 8.04 loaders .the first one starts with a screen and wide black rectangular patch in the centre of a white screen. while the other loader starts ubuntu in command mode asks for login but the screen keeps on flickering . finally the gui starts with some error prompt "low graphics like safemode setting" and then it shows the login page .after that the screen resolut [16:07] ion is altered and hardy is not able to recognise my graphics card .what should i do? [16:07] !patience|r [16:07] t|zz: try using the alternate install cd [16:07] r: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [16:07] sunnybg: ah, please join #compiz-fusuion [16:07] litlebuda: thanks, will download, whats the difference? [16:07] i turned on "restricted driver" for an nvidia card, and now my computer hangs [16:07] favro, its completely normal, probably the previous versions didnt show it during the booting but it was there :) [16:07] fresh install [16:07] Kwan : im not sure, a lot of people have mentioned flash problems === AskHL_ is now known as AskHL [16:08] t|zz: it's not graphical [16:08] zubu: check with 'dmesg' and find what type of card you have.. [16:08] crdlb: thanks [16:08] anyone wanna help me out, how do i turn off "restricted drivers" ? [16:08] reflect that iam sorry holy volunteers i have comited a sin [16:08] can you give me a direct link to download it [16:08] whats the command to switch the javac command to another java compiler? [16:08] t|zz, its in text mode install and has more options than the "normal" cd , its recomended for low mem or older computers [16:08] attlbut the performance is lacking from previous installs - using dapper it was 20% better showing vids [16:08] well but gentoo install cd has a framebuffer with splash, even quite-mode, but this can be booted from cd... [16:08] hardy is the issue [16:09] WGGMk: exactly, more memory can be fruitless, therefore more memory does not automatically result in better performance. you are, of course, right in saying the more the better - but it's like with money. having more of it is nice, but doesn't guarantee happiness. ;) [16:09] ok thanks guys, will try [16:09] please dont show thy wrath on my weak sole all mighty [16:09] Firefox 3 is very slow what is the problem [16:09] mohan34u:that is alright but what about two ubuntu loaders ? [16:09] rouini: best you can do is close it & restart it [16:09] zubu, do "lspci |grep VGA" to find out what card you have [16:10] zubu: I didn't noticed your post.. what is that 2 loaders? [16:10] Friends! sorry - I repeat my request. Hi! I am updating Heron thru adept. It said that rss-glx is upgradable. I clicked request and I get Break(upgradable). Is it OK for me to proceed upgrading rss-glx? What is BREAK? [16:10] void^: I agree but, you said memory is almost entirely unrelated to performance which is not true.. lol anyway, we both know what we're talking about with different views.. =) [16:10] i do so many times Firefox 2 is better [16:10] !ubottu [16:10] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [16:10] hello guys, how do i turn off restricted drivers (once installed) ?

[16:11] zubu, find out what driver you need for it [16:11] then Firefox3 [16:11] ok [16:12] rouini : I see, hmm I don't know what everyones problem is lol [16:12] is preload reliable on heron, or will I regret installing it?? [16:12] zubu: is that 2nd option for recovery mode? [16:12] attila:what about 2 pairs of grub loaders (one is recovery and the other is the normal) i just upgraded to hardy but there seems to be a problem. 1.grub is showing two pairs of ubuntu 8.04 loaders .the first one starts with a screen and wide black rectangular patch in the centre of a white screen. while the other loader starts ubuntu in command mode asks for login but the screen keeps on flickering . finally the gui starts with some error prompt "low graphi [16:12] cs like safemode setting" and then it shows the login page .after that the screen resolut [16:12] ion is altered and hardy is not able to recognise my graphics card .what should i do?

[16:15] Yao, usually just download the .exe you want to install and double click. Wine should open it [16:15] Friends! sorry to repeat my request. I am updating Heron through adept. It said that one rss-glx is upgradable. I clicked request and I got Break(upgradable) message. Is it OK for me to proceed upgrading rss-glx? What is BREAK?

[16:23] mohan34u:yes but numerically its the first loader and remove the error from the second ubuntu loader [16:23] is there something in ubuntu that can be installed to update upgrade or reinstall other systems on a network running solely ubuntu? [16:23] termitor, theres tons of this stuff on gnome-look.org or kde-look.org and program called startupmanager allows for easy setup [16:23] I would ask google this but i wouldnt know what to ask. [16:23] sidewalk, you might have to resort to xorg.conf [16:23] mohan34u:grub is showing three OSs [16:23] sidewalk: «gksudo displayconfig-gtk» [16:23] Does anyone know how to reconfigure X on Hardy? [16:24] sidewalk, try what erUSUL said first [16:24] ok.. then.. install startupmanager from synaptic or apt-get [16:24] Dew420:is there any perfect theme you use [16:24] mohan34u:first is hardy heron then recovery then again hardy heron and then again recovery and the vista and .. [16:24] for some reason, in order to get wireless to work i have to 'sudo /etc/inet.d/networking restart' after i have logged in ?!?!? [16:25] rouini , I have setup my gnome desktop etc to look how I want it to [16:25] Dew420: you may be right. I had problems with gutsy without wine and I downloaded. Thatś why I mentioned. [16:25] or go to /boot/grub/ and comment(#) out whatever you don't want in menu.lst file.. [16:25] done downloadin [16:25] rouini : try www.gnome-look.org [16:25] zubu, the other options are probably older kernels [16:25] is there something in ubuntu that can be installed to update upgrade or reinstall other systems on a network running solely ubuntu? [16:25] fevets, i dont know what the real problem is, but to help you could add that command to Sessions (System->preferences->Sessions) [16:25] that might be wrong lol [16:25] Hey, has anyone here tested the new Firefox 3 RC1 on hardy? [16:25] or is there a place someone can direct me? [16:25] fevets, then you dont have to run it yourself, gnome will do it for you [16:26] how do you use traceroute6? no matter what host I give it it tells me unknown host, my dns are working properly [16:26] I would like to know if the stability is better than beta 5 and so worth upgrading immediately [16:26] I am using startupmanager for booting options.. I hope it will help you.. [16:26] usser: i just upgraded to hardy and then restarted the sysstem [16:26] zubu, yes its older gutsy kernel [16:26] mhollisjr, firewall? [16:26] how to copy all files in a dir except for one in the shell? [16:26] Dew420:i know this site.are you a new user of Ubuntu or old one. [16:26] mhollisjr: don't use traceroute6, use traceroute [16:26] monestri, none unless installed by default on ubuntu, [16:26] rouini, I have been using ubuntu since... let me check I hae the disc somewhere [16:27] zubu: in startupmanager you have a choice to use only one kernel.. [16:27] amrik, traceroute is not installed by default traceroute6 is, there must be a reason and a way to use it [16:27] mhollisjr: traceroute6 only works on fully IPv6 networks. traceroute is what you want [16:27] amrik, ahh alright, but given the right circumstances it would succesfully resolve? [16:27] hola?

[16:33] rouini: yes, skype [16:33] mohan34u:before upgrading to hardy i was able to choose the OS from the boot loader [16:33] Hello, i have a problem with my xorg.conf, it takes the x.org.failsafe by standard, how to fix that that it takes my normal xorg.conf?

[16:56] * emma *smiles* [16:56] :) [16:56] mewt: one quick way is to install the server kernel and boot into that === kPanic_ is now known as ivootje [16:56] monestri so you would then do what I just said eh [16:56] Pollywog-> no one is stopping you, to do those, you are trying to use an equipment designed for something else, but hey thats what innovators do..all power to them [16:56] karel_, dont move your partitions. big trouble you will have. [16:56] bazhang i don't see any mplayer plugin in synaptic [16:56] amrik, i thought of that, but i dont want to end up using deadline as my scheduler :/ which is why i started looking into getting pae suport for my current desktop kernel [16:56] max__: ok, thx [16:56] .com [16:57] where is the start-up picture located please? [16:57] would you then* [16:57] yes I did it [16:57] !usplash [16:57] Pollywog-> even using windows, if your modem does not have a mic input..dont know how you'd expect to have a convo [16:57] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [16:57] mewt: you might have to recompile your kernel then :( [16:57] karel_, unless you are savvy with grub, edit all your config file to point to the new drive locations (hd1 instead of hd0 example) [16:57] amenado: what I need is a "softphone" type thing like what Skype has, but for ordinary calls instead of VoIP [16:57] Dew420:my PC is AMD is good or not [16:57] ljsoftnet, mozilla-mplayer [16:57] what's next?

[16:57] Pollywog-> well now, you have just changed the requirements from what you have said earlier...two different animals [16:57] bazhang i already tried that but still doesn't work [16:57] no one uses amarok? [16:58] just tried something :) [16:58] Pollywog there are no free version that let you call from pc to peoples home phones [16:58] amrik, will there be noticeable performance gains or loses if i use a server kernel ? [16:58] ljsoftnet, then you need to install ubuntu-restricted-extras and clear firefox cache (restart firefox as well) [16:58] Pollywog-> at one time, dial-pad was very good, bought by google, dont know what they did with dial-pad [16:58] Jack_Sparrow: you are not understanding me.... I do not want to use VoIP. I just want to make a regular call but from the computer [16:58] Jack_Sparrow, ? [16:58] though my regular phone line [16:59] is it possible this -> http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php in UBUNTU [16:59] Windows has done this since Win95 [16:59] Pollywog-> and I also told you, does your modem have a mic to allow you to speak and be heard at the other end? [16:59] joombaga: vertical only works when using Desktop Wall instead of Cube, and the flicker is due to limitations in the Direct Rendering Infrastructure that both drivers use. [16:59] Pollywog With special modems and drivers.. correct [16:59] Pollywog, free phone calls via the phone line? [16:59] jim_beam: ^^ [16:59] bazhang: I did not say free [17:00] the local calls would be free [17:00] Jack_Sparrow, ? [17:00] I would pay for others just like any other call [17:00] monestri what [17:00] anyone here have experience with dmraid? [17:00] Pollywog, does your modem have a mic [17:00] Pollywog-> and you gained what?

[17:11] yep max__ [17:11] the scroll wheel dies at random points in time [17:11] screenname92834: yes [17:11] is the kernel going to get updated as well?

But when I click on it now It opens an applet type window and it has flashy type icons that are interactive (buttons) but It does not display the text or graphics.

[17:22] attila:also how can i change the resolution of my screen? [17:22] using Network manager [17:22] mcphail: i am not using gdm [17:22] trufknarf-> you have a usb drive where you can transfer it to a file? or you have to do a manual copy, be accurate with the info, or else you'd get a bad advise too [17:22] I think they know nothing about ubuntu in ubuntu-offtopic, and seem to be talking about blackadder [17:22] mysterioso: your message was cut off at "and if I clicked install it would fix it.

The obvious 1st question is "if not, why not?" [17:24] compengi_: what is the point of that? [17:24] monkeyBox: Because of the switch over to upstart [17:24] amenado, it gave ips to all 3 of my connections instead of eth0 [17:24] how can i install my graphics card driver? [17:24] mworth-> you have the liveCD cdrom? install it from that [17:24] compengi_: state the obvious and unhelpful wont you [17:25] Flannel, what's upstart? [17:25] screenname92834, didn't you want a upgrade to hardy documentation? [17:25] I need a comparison right now, about to buy a new laptop, need to know what is the state of the ati drivers vs. the nvidia drivers [17:25] amenado, I am happy to stay with 7.10 if the upgrade wont work- I dont want to redo everything [17:25] clintchanc1-> so? is eth0 active? is it in use? [17:25] h0ax: Did you verify the CD? Is this 6% of the actual install? It would depend on your internet speed and the mirrors internet speed, since you're downloading [17:25] !upstart | monkeyBox [17:25] monkeyBox: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [17:25] amenado, no eht0 is not active im using wlan0 rightnow with network manager gnome [17:25] Hi, I'm trying to fix grub, when I enter the command "setup (hd0)" it says "Error 12: Invalid device requested"... what can I do? [17:25] Flannel , yeah it's 6% of the actual installation .. been there about 20 mins now [17:26] Could someone please suggest a decent Firefox 2 plugin that will allow me to play streaming video (particularly the Quicktime format)? I'm using Hardy and mozilla-mplayer no longer supports Firefox 2 in Hardy. [17:26] mworth-> just my opinion, 7.10 is wonderful, no need to go to 8.04 and am assuming you have done the patches for that nasty bug.. [17:26] when i used the debian minimal it had got alot further [17:26] in ubuntu 8.04, what do i need to do to RDP into a windows box? I tried changing the port to 3389, that did not work. [17:26] aka, performance wise, is ati keeping up with nvidia on linux yet? [17:26] clintchanc1-> then if eth0 is not active why do you expect it to have an ip address? [17:26] amenado, dunno what bug you're on about but I have installed all the availible upgrades [17:26] defdef: check out tsclient [17:26] nevermind, found it [17:26] however I am stuck in shitty graphics mode atm [17:26] mcphail: it is nice that you help me. i thougth ubuntu means freedom. you can do things in different way. i was spending 3 hours to get rid of gdm. i just dont want it. so if you are now teling me i should go back to gdm i could go back to windows, right? [17:27] h0ax: Like I said, it depends on the internet. If this doesn't work, try the alternate CD, same options, just with packages on the CD itself [17:27] amenado,i dont, wcid is the program i want to use too connect to my network but when i use it it timesout at ip retrieval (or what ever its called) [17:27] mworth-> good that you are updated, its the vmsplice am referring to.. [17:27] Hey, I am having a problem doing a fresh install of Hardy Heron is the right place to ask for help? [17:27] Flannel, any idea how I would add hdparm to the default startup? I'm trying to emply a fix to keep my hard-drive from dying (Load_Cycle_Count going up really fast) === compengi_ is now known as compengi [17:27] joschan: no. I was merely suggesting that getting rid of gdm makes things difficult for yourself. Fair enough - I'll not bother you any more [17:27] also, another thing I need to know is what is the standard vga= kernel line in ubuntu (I fragged mine on the dell laptop so I get no tty's :/ ) [17:27] Does anyone know what package contains "update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders" ?

[17:28] mcphail: you are not bothering me. if no one helps me now to get permisions for startx i will have to reinstall gdm and be frustrated for the rest of my life ;-) [17:28] amenado, its a gui [17:28] !grub [17:28] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Alternatively someone could explain to me why I need to update all my software to upgrade to hardy. [17:28] joschan: sorry - didn't mean to repost... [17:28] where are firefox cookies stored?

[17:30] mcphail: thank you for caring! [17:30] joschan: i _used_ to know this kind of thing back in the old slackware days! I'm afraid my "startx" knowledge has atrophied over the years! [17:30] clintchanc1-> maybee..dont know what you got.. [17:30] Flannel Im not entirely sure. I have WINE. but I just double clicke the installer in the cd drive [17:30] hello!! can someone helo me to install grub on separate partition beacause i have a dual boot ubuntu an xp, for that can i use ubuntu live cd and install grub from there to partiotion dev/sda1 or or any other way, pls help [17:30] zvacet: why? my system is dapper, and the upgrade runs from dapper to hardy. [17:30] and it ran the installer [17:30] mysterioso: What program are you installing? [17:30] Whenever I try and install ubuntu 8.04 onto my machine during a fresh install it crashes my machine at ~97% particularly when i mentions it is trying to install the sbp2 driver [17:30] Why is it that whenever I install a Metacity GTK theme, in the "Appearance Preferences," and then I receive a message telling me that the theme was installed successfully, but then the theme is not visible on the list of themes to apply?

I am using Ubuntu 8.04. * [17:31] kokolo-> you have an installed linux? what happened when you installed ubuntu? what do you get when you boot? a grub menu? [17:31] mcphail: i will have to find this out on a seperate test installation. will bring back my gui now because i need it urgently [17:31] thank you! [17:31] joschan: one thing i would check is the permissions on ~/.Xauthority [17:31] this is weird as I previously ran 7.10 without issue and kubuntu 8.04 installed fine first time It just didn't support my wireless card (which was strange as I thought it was just the window manager that changed) [17:31] mysterioso: I think that's a yes. Usually what you do is copy the contents of the CD to a folder, and then do the same for the rest, etc. But, I'm not really too sure. You might try #winhq, they'll probably know. [17:31] screenname92834: you need all Dapper updates not all updates from other releases [17:31] Hello, Is there a way to use Ubuntu to stream Multimedia onto Xbox 360? [17:32] flannel thanks, what is winhq? [17:32] Update manager says I can install 7 updates. One of them is libtotem-plparser10.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04.

I'm using Hardy and mozilla-mplayer no longer supports Firefox 2 in Hardy. [17:32] redwhitewaldo : sudo apt-get update [17:32] sbohan-> what is the problem now? any errors? [17:32] the machine crashes during install === adante_ is now known as adante [17:32] Where is update-gdk-pixbuf-loader? After some searching it seems to be a script contained in gtk2 RPMs, but I don't have it. Are there any packages that contain this for ubuntu? [17:32] a cant boot i have isntall dual boot xp and ubutntu, and i acidentaly remove my first partition of all sistems grub which is on dev/sda1 and now i need to install it there because i dont sue windows bootloader just grub for all systems [17:32] aha [17:33] !who | sbohan [17:33] sbohan: 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 :) [17:33] and then grub complains [17:33] flannel thanks [17:33] !grub [17:33] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[17:33] Update manager disappeared. [17:33] i didnt lost it i remove the whole partition [17:33] kokolo same computer you are chatting now from? or another computer? [17:34] notebook [17:34] redwhitewaldo: there's a bug with libtotem plparser, it'll be fixed, until then, just ignore it, it won't hurt === LastKnight is now known as LastKnight02 [17:34] Because I wanted to swtich to Ubuntu or Xubuntu on my Desktop and I that is my main internet server usually for the house [17:34] kokolo: You removed /boot? or windows? or what?

[17:34] So I presume, then that 'ubuntu' is an umbrella term for a big collection of software packages. Is the kernel in there too? [17:34] even though I don't have the 8.04 LTS Alt. CD Yet [17:35] Flannel: ok. thanks. I don't understand. ubuntu is now OUT (officially out), yet how come there are still updates for bugs? If the updates don't end, why say that ubuntu is officially released? [17:35] @amenado The Grub error I get is Error 17 [17:35] screenname92834: Ubuntu is a linux distribution, it contains a kernel, I'm not sure what youre asking other than that.

[17:35] redwhitewaldo : If it is out doesn´t mean it is without bugs [17:35] So how do I update my kernel to a newer version? Is there a package name for it? [17:35] how can I get the ubuntu installer to install to "rather large" floppy? [17:36] redwhitewaldo: Software will always have bugs, since its huge. Updates fix bugs, and sometimes packagers make mistakes (like this time) so theres a bug in a packaging scheme, as opposed to the programs itself [17:36] Yeah, But Derander, I don't have enough room for both XP and Ubuntu Togerher [17:36] screename92834: Hey if you want to know wat unbuntu means!!! then check out the nelson mandella video in you /home/___/Examples [17:36] i remove patiton of grub!!

Windows XP is on its third service pack :) [17:37] ok [17:37] @amenado: I did a fresh install and chose for it to use the whole disk (guided), the grub error as far as I can tell is a side effect of the installer not actually completing, I have ran the installer 8 times now and it always crashes at the same point right near the end, however the live CD works fine on the system with no issues [17:37] just wondering [17:37] sbohan, [17:37] XmatriX: what is it called? [17:37] boot with noapic [17:37] does anyone know of a solution to my only being able to use one program with audio at a time? [17:37] will the ubuntu installer detect it? [17:38] actually, noaipc no1apic just to be safe i guess [17:38] is there an easy way to change the ownership of my keyboard to my user perminantly [17:38] or even a hard way [17:38] amendo, it gives me compiling errors, I would say them, but I need to install Ubuntu first to retry, I was going to install Gutsy for right now, because that is the only Alternate CD I have Right [17:38] @monestri: noapic? I know it's a arugment to pass to the installer [17:38] but how would I go about doing it [17:38] screename92834: its in your home folder under another folder called examples (if you didnt delete it) it contains just example files of documents and sounds and also has a video of nelson mandella talking about ubuntu and what it means!! [17:38] sbohan-> you have tried 8 times to install? and fails at same exact spot? what errors if any you have observed? [17:38] it doesn't want to detect the floppy [17:38] How do I set my external USB DVD drive to auto mount when I turn it on? [17:38] Are the US repos back up and running at full speed yet? [17:38] Jack_Sparrow: I got a problem to install Lame-3.97 -> [17:38] how do i open gconf editor? [17:38] http://lame.sourceforge.net/download.php [17:38] Derander: Try uninstalling your modem if you have one installed. I know it sounds weird, but I had that problem back in dapper. [17:39] sbohan, when the ubuntu screen first comes up press f6 [17:39] kokolo: alright, you'll need to reinstall it. Instructions are here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows depending on what you have [17:39] joombaga: no modem, unfortunately [17:39] and add 'noapic no1apic' to the boot line [17:39] McRib-> i have been downloading yesterday and have not observed slowness [17:39] @amenado, it mentions at the bottom "Firewire CD-ROM driver spb2" and then as it's there the machine cuts out [17:39] XmatriX: that sounds like totally irrelevant to computing. [17:39] and any other commands you think will help [17:39] I suppose I might add to my above problem (inability to have two applications using sound) that this is a fresh problem with Hardy [17:39] monestri: nolapic, not no1apic [17:39] bazhang you can pm me whenever you like. [17:39] lol seriously? [17:39] amenado: Alrighty then... thank you. [17:39] this can't be a hardware issue as I did a test and left the machine running for three hours after install #7 on the installation screen and it didn't crash oce [17:40] Derander: try switching to ALSA, assuming you're using Pulse Audio [17:40] sbohan-> you have a firewire connected CD-ROM? is that what you used to boot your liveCD from? [17:40] XmatriX: sounds like some marketing speak like if I call my product "fastcool" they'll need to translate that in japan. [17:40] screename92834: it is relevant to computing, its about community and opensoure and that kinda shiet [17:40] joombaga: 100% alsa [17:40] McRib you're welcome [17:40] 'noapic nolapic' then [17:40] you can check in boot options anyway [17:40] @amenado : No firewire devices are conncted to my machine at all [17:40] Jezz : type in terminal gconf-editor [17:40] oh ok :P [17:40] screename92834: not everything has to have a direct meaning, like umbrella w/e u were saying, its a broader meaning [17:41] Jezz : or you can find it under system tools [17:41] joombaga: oh, bizarre! [17:41] Derander: well I'm out of ideas. [17:41] joombaga: apparently if I kill pulseaudio, it kills my sound, even though nothing anywhere sets it to pulseaudio [17:41] thnx found it [17:41] @monestri: cheers will try that now! [17:41] How do I get a list of all the packages that are included in the definition of "ubuntu operating system"? [17:41] joombaga: apparently it is the default on this system, or something, how do I turn it off? [17:41] pulse audio is the default sound server in 8.04 [17:41] Question: If I use manual partitioning on install to set up three partitions (root, /home, swap), I'm supposed to set the root partition to being bootable, right? [17:41] sbohan lets do this, boot using the liveCD and then lets peek around on your installed system.. open a terminal on liveCD and type fdisk -l [17:41] Jezz :np [17:41] monestrI: bah, lame, thanks [17:41] is there some form of udev for dummies? my rule doesn't work for changing ownership of my keyboard to my user [17:41] FactTech, yes [17:41] kk will do that now [17:42] screename92834: wat kind of question is that??? [17:42] ..Thingy Thanks. [17:42] The floppy is actually an SD Card but it detects it as a floppy because thats the only thing I can mount it usually virtualbox wit [17:42] FactTech: / not root, and the bootable flag doesn't matter in linux [17:42] FactTech-> no need to be, im booting from a extended partition [17:42] Derander: System > Preferences > Sound. You can change everything there. [17:42] @amenado: will go quiet while it loads [17:42] Flannel - Yes, I wrote "/" as "root" in the above, but thanks for checking! [17:42] !tab amendo thanks for your help [17:42] sbohan: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:42] !tab [17:42] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [17:42] screenname92834 http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ [17:43] FactTech: just making sure, since /root is another option, although different completely [17:43] Derander: Luckily mine somehow defaulted to ALSA. [17:43] joombaga: everything was set to alsa when I was experiencing the problem, pulseaudio was still running and killing it turned off my sound, is there a way to remove pulseaudio entirely and use whatever gutsy used? [17:43] Real quick question y'all... any suggestions on how to speed up a copy of Ubuntu? I've got a 2 ghz processor with 1 gig of RAM and it moves slower than Christmas.. lol [17:43] sbohan-> use the pastebin to paste the result of questions i ask okay? [17:43] Flannel - It doesn't matter that it's bootable? Is that because the booting is handled by GRUB? [17:43] amenado: where is the pastebin you use? [17:43] !paste | sbohan [17:43] sbohan: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [17:43] Jack_Sparrow: thank you my good fellow. [17:43] how to install vlc in ubuntu? [17:43] sudo apt-get install vlc [17:43] vlc sucks though [17:44] I suggest mplayer [17:44] Flannel - Does that mean you only need to set it as bootable if there will be a non-Linux OS on that partition? [17:44] FactTech: the bootable flag only matters to some older things, DOS uses it, Linux doesnt, and if I remember correctly, windows hasn't since moving away from DOS (windows XP) [17:44] sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio, hallelujah! [17:44] monestri : +1 [17:44] Derander: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio [17:44] how I can setup amarok to play the song that I choose from a directory instead of queue it [17:44] joombaga: yeah, just did that. [17:44] amenado: I will switch to using the ubuntu machine in question now! [17:44] Derander: you beat me to it [17:44] +1? [17:44] Flannel - OK, thanks. Interesting.

It is supposed to work by pressing Alt Gr+2 (right Alt + 2), but when I press the right Alt key it will only turn on the num and caps locks and sometimes act like I'm pressing the F1 key, thus opening the Help. Does anyone have a clue on how to fix this? [19:28] SeaPhor I would look at how your permissions are set per the error, and more importantly, how they got changed. [19:28] Argh, I'm trying to rsync to restore from a backup, but rsync is segfaulting somewhere. [19:28] rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1318) [client=2.6.9] [19:28] is there any way I can export the primary display to /dev/video?

[19:30] Wobbo: are you running 64bit? [19:30] chocobanana, you have the most delicious sounding nick by the way. Good luck with your problem. :) [19:30] jbroome, nope [19:30] you need a 64-bit operating system to use 4 GB RAM [19:30] Just a refresh... I am dual booting Ubuntu on a macbook pro... chipset is as follows: AR5418 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01), I download and installed a thinkpad driver, and it's showing as valid... but my wireless is not. showing any ideas? [19:30] Wobbo: there you go [19:30] AaronH: I need the video to be in mpeg4 format and I want it to be non-interactive. [19:30] Wobbo: it is due to 32bit cpu limitations [19:30] jbroome, crap... 64 bit sucks... [19:30] Jack_Sparrow, says root owns /home and my user owns /home/username [19:30] SeaPhor: yo, dude [19:31] hi all [19:31] are there any cli irc apps? [19:31] SeaPhor: i figured it out, if you want to know how i did it [19:31] Bodsda: irssi [19:31] agamotto: thanks [19:31] Wobbo: Nah, I have been running 64bit for nearly three years now [19:31] irssi Bodsda [19:31] Aaron: can vnc do mpeg4?

[19:31] drewby, you can make vnc non-interactive, but I don't know how you could record the display, especially over the internet [19:32] Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks [19:32] Aaron well then vnc will not work for me. [19:32] agamotto: i tried, no succes, WoW won't run, and my new system has 2x 9800gtx, there is no driver for 32 and 64 bit, only a 32bit beta driver [19:32] jbroome, apt sugggests i should install irssi-scripts what are they? [19:32] alexbOrsova, yes [19:32] agamotto:5hours back i had gusty and everthing was fine.but i was upgrading to 8.04.after installing it i restarted the system but this lowgraphics problem has popped out! i have downlaoded several nvidia drivers but still not working [19:32] Hi, once Ubuntu 8.04 installed, there was some file left with GID 999 throughout the file system. I fixed it with "sudo find / -nogroup -exec chgrp root {} \;" [19:32] SeaPhor: so, first i blacklisted all the network drivers except the one for wired ethernet in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [19:32] Wobbo: Ah, yes, if you want to do games under linux, then 64bit isn't quite for you [19:33] zubu, reboot,choose recovery mode form grub,then pick the 'fix x' option [19:33] Bodsda: scripts for irssi. [19:33] zubu: is there an nvidia driver in the repos called something like nvidia-glx-new? [19:33] SeaPhor: that alone doesnt do it however [19:33] Is there anyone here with a 9800GTX that has a lack of performance, probl due to the fact it's a beta driver? [19:33] alexbOrsova, yes, ok [19:33] jbroome, yeah but what do they do? [19:33] glxinfo says: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect - but compiz renders ok.

[19:44] Is Ubuntu COMPLETELY free? or does it have non-free compoments?

[19:47] Explore gucharmap; it's fun. [19:47] Pincus: no, if we're just talking free (as in beer) then yes, Ubuntu is 100% cost-free. The drivers are closed-source, like video card stuff that nvidia puts out for their graphics cards. [19:47] smultron, can you boot from the live cd? [19:48] SeaPhor: yep [19:48] what are the default permissions and owners of /tmp/? [19:48] Pincus : these drivers cost you no money, but are not open-sourced. They generally deliver better performance [19:48] hello, can anyone help me with some errors I am getting when trying to install rtl8187b wireless card drivers? [19:48] oh, it is OK with me [19:48] Flannel : oops, thought you missed the request ;-) [19:48] mcphail: it is giving me this error : "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration [19:48] file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080518001803" [19:48] H__: No worries.

[19:54] I looked in the xorg log, and it actually showed it getting the EDID with the correct 1280x1024..... but then it didn't USE that resolution! [19:54] What's up with that? [19:54] linkmaster03: scp? [19:54] It went to 800x600 instead. [19:54] Who do I talk to to get a universe package updated? [19:54] zubu: you ran it with the "-phigh" part?
