[00:00] RabidWeezle: did you try some other graphics modes? [00:00] Starnestommy: ty man :) [00:00] WillCotton01: the swap partition, if it was activated it probably overwrote the partition data [00:00] andor avoid rpm's [00:00] XmatriX: It's not that I can't play music while I am using flash. It's that once I turn off flash, music still won't work [00:00] Jav13r [00:00] hm [00:00] i can see the harddrive in ubuntu with all the data still on it [00:00] unchanged [00:00] WillCotton01: oh [00:00] andor: if you can find a .deb, that usually works best [00:00] XmatriX: Go ahead and send the link [00:00] run the files off it etc... [00:00] TelsaTony: do u have hardy? [00:00] WillCotton01: does fdisk -l show the right partition type for the partition? [00:00] kolie: did you try ctrl alt f1? [00:00] is the flash thingy, is only tar.gz or .rpm [00:00] WillCotton01: you have to run that command as root so eg: sudo fdisk -l [00:01] kolie: did you see a bootloader screen when your machine boots? [00:01] ok [00:01] i'll try [00:01] andor: flash is in Ubuntu's repos [00:01] andor, download the tar.gz and install. [00:01] Boohbah : yes, still blank not ttys worked [00:01] what's the difference between the live CD and live DVD? [00:01] Hi everybody. I've just upgraded to hardy and my IDE devices don't seem to be in dev anymore (/dev/hd{a,b,c,d})... Is this a new "feature" or is it a problem? [00:01] andor, or do like astro76 said [00:01] !info flashplugin-nonfree | andor [00:01] andor: flashplugin-nonfree (source: flashplugin-nonfree): Adobe Flash Player plugin installer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 18 kB, installed size 164 kB (Only available for i386 amd64 lpia) [00:01] I see ubuntu, progress bar move, then nothingness [00:01] flashplugin-nonfree, dont work on my Opera client [00:01] XmatriX: Yeah. Hardy, Gnome, and Firefox [00:02] milesd, are they sdX? [00:02] andor: oh you're on your own then ;) use tar.gz over rpm IMO [00:02] el_isma dvd has main repo and live as well as alt install [00:02] is anyone have problems with virtualbox share folder??i have host ubuntu 8.04 and guest windows xp sp2=with latest updates...i run cmd in windows "net use x: \\vboxsvr\david" and i get system error occurred 53 network not found..anyone knows whats going on? [00:02] astro76: ty for the tip :) [00:02] andor: you might be able to symlink it to the right location, but i don't use opera so have no idea what that location would be [00:02] kolie, how can I tell that? [00:02] Jack_Sparrow: So if I only use it as a live cd, I won't notice any difference? [00:03] el_isma not really [00:03] how do i know which sda it is [00:03] kolie, ...huh, cdrecord --scanbus reports them at 3,0,0 and 3,1,0 [00:03] TelsaTony: please talk in the pm window [00:03] calc: ye i will take a better look, and see [00:03] kolie, how do I know if/where they're mapped into dev? [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks. I couldn't find any info on the website [00:03] WillCotton01: sda is your first drive [00:03] np [00:03] SeaPhor: no it doesn't work. The config application (Touchkit) doesn't run because "the x module isn't loaded" [00:03] WillCotton01: the partitions in in under linux are named eg: 1 2 3 4 5 6 [00:03] milesd im not the person to ask :) [00:04] Boohbah : that key combo didnt do anything. [00:04] andor: that is assuming it can use mozilla/firefox plugins [00:04] yeah [00:04] Boohbah : I also go this trying to install so I used alternate which was fine. [00:04] anybody know how I find out how SCSI device 3,0,0 is mapped into /dev? [00:04] im pretty sure its sda4 [00:04] WillCotton01: what does it say the partition type is of that one? [00:04] hpfs/ntfs? [00:05] is anyone have problems with virtualbox share folder??i have host ubuntu 8.04 and guest windows xp sp2=with latest updates...i run cmd in windows "net use x: \\vboxsvr\david" and i get system error occurred 53 network not found..anyone knows whats going on? [00:05] How can I turn seamless mode off at virtualbox ? [00:05] WillCotton01: well then it is probably marked right unless it is fat32 instead [00:05] ferbyboy: you got access to the inet with the windows in the box ? when your ubuntu has [00:05] douye: right ctrl + L [00:05] WillCotton01: not sure why you can't see it under windows [00:05] well it seems to be marked right [00:06] xmatrix: doesnt work :/ [00:06] argh why is I get a black screen [00:06] well on linux its a perfectly normal ntfs drive [00:06] what does the id mean? [00:06] douye: hmm maybe try clickking on the windows start menu then try [00:06] has anyone here ever had to setup a touch screen? [00:06] hey guys [00:06] douye: yes igot internet service in windows and in ubuntu [00:07] WillCotton01: that is the partition type number, it is translated to the right into what type it is [00:07] oh right [00:07] i dont see the usb port option to enable it on virtualbox....what should i do? [00:07] WillCotton01: eg 82 is Linux swap, 83 Linux, 7 NTFS [00:07] alexbOrsova, hrm,,, [00:07] ferbyboy: hmm, what networking mode are you using in the box ? [00:07] Anyone available for a support question? [00:07] SeaPhor: here's something funny [00:07] hmmmm [00:07] douye: i also dont have no antivirus in ubuntu or firewall..im guessing maybe an upgrade in windows patched up the share function [00:07] unless its sda2 [00:07] * calc gets back to work on OOo [00:07] douye: ummm let me see hold on [00:08] w95 ext'd, could that be the problem? [00:08] !envy [00:08] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [00:08] !firewall | ferbyboy [00:08] ferbyboy: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [00:08] WillCotton01: you can probably tell by mounting it under linux then running 'mount' on command line and see what it says is mounted as what file system type [00:08] douye: as far as i know im using the default setings [00:08] SeaPhor: when I touch the screen it's like clicking the mouse button. so i think the mouse driver is [00:08] !virus | ferbyboy [00:08] ferbyboy: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [00:08] ferbyboy: the NAT option ? atleast im using that and it works for me :P [00:08] WillCotton01: that should be fat32 iirc [00:08] SeaPhor: interfereing with the touch screen driver. however, i dont have a mouse (its a laptop) i have a touchpad [00:08] jack_sparrow i dont see the option on virtualbox to enable it [00:08] WillCotton01: so if it is really fat32 and marked as such it should be ok [00:09] would anyone happen to know why my computer does not want to boot a ubuntu live CD anymore [00:09] WillCotton01: its ntfs but marked as w95 that might not work under windows [00:09] ferbyboy: but the error you get in the windows is mostlikely coz your windows cant access the network needed for the ubuntu-windows link [00:09] SeaPhor: which uses a different device under /dev/. So what the fuck? [00:09] douye: not too sure [00:09] how can i install development tools i am trying to compile someting and i am getting errors [00:09] alexbOrsova, can you disable the touchpad ? [00:09] how would it get marked as w95? [00:09] and is it possible to fix [00:09] douye: oka ima find out what im using hold on [00:09] WillCotton01: if you changed it when trying to fix it back(?) [00:09] SeaPhor: yes with a little button right above it. What do you suggest? [00:09] WillCotton01: check what it is mounted as before trying to chnage it [00:09] !envyng [00:09] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [00:09] hexoroid: to start with, sudo apt-get install build-essential [00:09] Why is my screen black after install with alternate? [00:09] how do i check what its mounted as [00:09] douye: yeah im using nat [00:10] nvm [00:10] WillCotton01: if its mounted as vfat then it is fat [00:10] !ohmy | alexbOrsova [00:10] WillCotton01: 'mount' [00:10] alexbOrsova: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[00:10] its mounted as ntfs [00:10] ferbyboy: hmm and guest software is installed ofc ? [00:10] SeaPhor: my bad [00:10] laeg i dont see the usb port on my virtualbox [00:10] douye: yes it is [00:10] laeg Pleae /msg ubotu envy so as not to spam the channel for your own requests [00:10] as far as i can tell i havn't actually done anything to the hd with linux :s [00:10] WillCotton01: is the partition mounted as ntfs listed as 'w95 ext' in fdisk, verify the number [00:10] anyonw know why my computer will not boot a CD and more only DVDs [00:10] alexbOrsova, try to use it with the touchpad disabled? [00:10] ferbyboy: and you added the folder to shared folders ? [00:10] douye: yes i have [00:11] hmmmm [00:11] douye: and i know im inputitng the same good command [00:11] hexoroid: that's the basic essentials, make, c compiler, etc... after that try again, any further errors are usually solved by installing the correct *-dev packages [00:11] Where are all the ubuntu experts :( [00:11] asdasd whats build-essential ? [00:11] actually [00:11] ohhh [00:11] omg, ff3 rc1 is available :-) [00:11] douye: im using net use x: \\vbox\david [00:11] its linux swap/ solaris [00:11] SeaPhor: no difference [00:11] hexoroid: ESSENTIOAL BUILD TOOLS [00:11] douye: just like my share folder says [00:11] kolie Please just ask your question and wait for an answer [00:11] WillCotton01: ah so its ntfs but marked as linux swap? [00:11] Jack_Sparrow i have like 7 times [00:11] alexbOrsova, was worth a try :_( [00:11] I used alternate to install, because regular ubuntu installer was black screen as well. After boot, I select ubuntu, and then i get black screen again, hitting shift ctrl f# still gives black screen. [00:11] yep [00:12] seems to be the problem [00:12] SeaPhor: yes it was [00:12] WillCotton01: CAREFULLY change it and save then reboot and it should work [00:12] kolie Then please.. avoid the commentary [00:12] ferbyboy: it should work then :/ maybe try pinging your ubuntu [00:12] WillCotton01: be very careful not to delete the partition, etc [00:12] how do i change it [00:12] douye: how do i do that? [00:12] Jack_Sparrow you responded :) [00:12] douye i dont see the usb port option in my virtualbox [00:12] SeaPhor: I should have backed up the proper files before reinstalling ubuntu, eh? [00:12] synaptic is giving me the option of envyng core, gtk and qt - which do i want? [00:12] WillCotton01: run fdisk /dev/sda [00:12] WillCotton01: then hit t [00:12] kolie: might be coz of not supported video card.. not sure tho at least friend of me had it all the time aswell with a card which is hardly supported anywhere [00:12] i upgraded from 1.5.6 and i choosed save not backup idk if that works [00:12] WillCotton01: type the partition number you need to change [00:13] WillCotton01: then hit '7' for NTFS [00:13] kolie I responded to Where are all the ubuntu experts :( ..........and I am asking that you try to avoid that. [00:13] Im using an ati card. [00:13] right [00:13] WillCotton01: then hit w [00:13] dimas869: dunno about usb.. havent figured that out yet, can do tho [00:13] douye: i upgraded from 1.5.6 and it gave me the option save and backup i choosed save [00:13] ferbyboy: uhm open a terminal in ubuntu [00:13] alexbOrsova, yeah, did this work with 7.10? [00:13] douye: okay i got htat [00:13] ferbyboy: type ifconfig and press enter [00:13] WillCotton01: then when you reboot windows will probably see it [00:13] SeaPhor: yes. [00:13] Do you people know about wubi? [00:13] does anyone know what i should change in my BIOS so that my computer will boot off of CDs and not only DVDs [00:13] i still have problems getting wlan to work! [00:13] Segadude Enough that I wont use it [00:13] SeaPhor: I can remember messing with it for a while before it would, bu I eventually did it. [00:14] alexbOrsova, did you fresh install or upgrade? [00:14] douye: ok i did [00:14] How often can I repeat my last message, when it scrolls off my screen? [00:14] MXGamer101: if it boots off one it should off the other [00:14] MXGamer101: never heard of that problem [00:14] ferbyboy: then you should a adapter named vnet 0 [00:14] MXGamer101: if the disk is properly created anyway [00:14] SeaPhor: I actually backed up my previous xorg.conf file from 7.10 and I've checked it [00:14] calc: checked [00:14] can somebody PLEASE help me? [00:14] >_> [00:14] SeaPhor: fresh install [00:14] ferbyboy with a few IP's in its comment [00:14] i checked both CDs on another computer they boot fine [00:14] douye: i got nothing like that [00:14] I use it. What wrong with it? [00:14] SeaPhor: and the two xorg.conf files are exactly the same [00:14] for some reason i can boot off a DVD but not a CD === breedingh8 is now known as nakedgoat === nathan_ is now known as yelowrose [00:14] MXGamer101: i have never heard of a system that can boot dvd but not cd [00:14] ferbyboy: hmm can you c/p the output ? [00:14] douye: i got wlan0 lo wmaster0 eth1 [00:15] douye: whats c/p the output mean? [00:15] MXGamer101: if that's true then that's some strange quirk ;) but no setting for such a thing [00:15] SeaPhor Please read the wubi site faq and understand the differences between wubi install and a traditional install on a sep partition [00:15] ferbyboy: copy-paste the given info of the terminal [00:15] alexbOrsova, it wont be there i dont believe, do you have /home on sep partition? [00:15] douye: oh whats that site bin thing again? so i could do that? [00:15] calc: neither have i, this computer has not done that before. [00:15] aparently not :( [00:15] ferbyboy: !paste [00:15] ferbyboy: darn :P sec [00:15] SeaPhor: no. i have one partition with all the linux files on it [00:15] i guess ill just suck it up and buy a blank DVD lol [00:15] I used alternate to install, because regular ubuntu installer was black screen as well. After boot, I select ubuntu, and then i get black screen again, hitting alt ctrl f# still gives black screen. [00:15] MXGamer101: can it *read* the cd at all later? or just not boot off of it [00:15] MXGamer101: maybe try updating the firmware on the drive, dunno that would help though [00:15] Well what i came to ask was and I upgrade for 7.0.4 to 7.10 when using wubi? [00:16] from sorry [00:16] !pastebin [00:16] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:16] douye: okay i forget where i can paste that its a site..i think pastebin or something [00:16] MXGamer101: because the drive very well might use different lasers for the different formats [00:16] !pastebin [00:16] WillCotton01: did it work for you? [00:16] MXGamer101: and one could fail [00:16] um [00:16] ff3 rc1 flies :-) [00:16] just gotta reboot and see if windows sees it [00:16] ferbyboy: paste.ubuntu.com :P [00:16] WillCotton01: ah ok [00:16] MXGamer101: but I'm just guessing now ;) [00:16] fok thank u ubottu [00:16] WillCotton01: good luck :-) [00:16] brb [00:16] hey guys, i just setup ubuntu 7.10, but my wireless thing doesn't work, it would show "Attempting to join ..." with the 2 balls and blue thing going around but never connect, does anyone know how to fix? [00:16] got it douye ill send u the thing in a minute [00:17] hi does nyone know how to start the jack driver in console? [00:17] astro you might be right because i jsut inserted the ubutu CD now and its detecting it as a blank disk [00:17] MXGamer101: ok that makes more sense [00:17] anyone know what the name of the pluginfile to flashplayer is? [00:17] andor: libflashplayer.so [00:17] douye: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12827/ [00:17] macd: ty :) [00:17] okay so i will take up my concernns with my computer manufacturer lol thanks for your help =) [00:17] I used alternate to install, because regular ubuntu installer was black screen as well. After boot, I select ubuntu, and then i get black screen again, hitting alt ctrl f# still gives black screen. [00:18] Well what i came to ask was and I upgrade from 7.0.4 to 7.10 when using wubi? [00:18] MXGamer101: you may want to try it in a third pc if its not a pressed disk, to make sure your burner isn't writing weird disks [00:18] MXGamer101: i've seen burners write disks they could read but nothing else could read them [00:18] calc: checked already on more than 1 PCs it loaded fine on the other ones [00:18] MXGamer101: ah ok [00:18] Can someone please tell me the name of Gnomes default archiver, e.g. handles .tar .gz etc? [00:18] ferbyboy: hmm weird that there is no vnet 0 adapter seen, as thats the one for the ubuntu-virtualbox connection if im right [00:18] douye: u got the link? [00:18] MXGamer101: then probably a problem with the machine that can't read it [00:18] hey guys, i just setup ubuntu 7.10, but my wireless thing doesn't work, it would show "Attempting to join ..." with the 2 balls and blue thing going around but never connect, does anyone know how to fix? [00:18] indeed, thanks a lot =) [00:18] Segadude that question needs some work, I cant make sense of it [00:18] andor, should live in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so [00:18] ferbyboy: yeah i got the link [00:19] MXGamer101, it could be your burner doesn't like the cd media you have. they are picky, some work, others dont [00:19] MXGamer101: you may want to see if it will read other burned disks as well besides the ubuntu one [00:19] Steve-cal, Ark. [00:19] SeaPhor: aren't you testing one of these? [00:19] sorry hold on [00:19] macd: i will check [00:19] MXGamer101: if its just picky updating the firmware on the drive might help [00:19] checking now [00:19] MXGamer101: also cdr might work where cdrw doesn't [00:19] thast weird..well i had 1.5.6 and i sudo apt-get removed virtualbox and sudo dkpg -r virutalbox and sudo dkpg --purge virtualbox... and the vdi was from 1.5.6 and 1.6 upgraded it by saving it not backing it up [00:19] Here it is fixed: Well what I came to ask was can I upgrade from 7.0.4 to 7.10 when using wubi? [00:19] hi [00:19] douye: read above [00:20] macd: Hmmm... I tried that a while ago and had it crash on me. Do you by chance have any other recommendations? [00:20] can somebody please help me now? [00:20] how can i play long name.mp3 [00:20] Steve-cal, if it crashed did you report a bug, ? [00:20] SeaPhor: are you at work right now? [00:20] so it has a space [00:20] SeaPhor You should verify by reading the faq on wubi.. but yes, I do believe you can. [00:20] i just discovered that smbldap-populate is broken in 8.04 -> it works with the new smbldap-tools script. Is this a bug which needs to be reported? [00:20] alexbOrsova, yes for WWAN issues, and its the next gen of that type, did you follow that link all the way through and the links to the drivers they rec? [00:20] ferbyboy: hmm weird, but thats mostlikely the error [00:21] ben34: in the terminal, "long name.mp3" or long\ name.mp3 [00:21] dam it didn't work [00:21] WillCotton01: oh :( [00:21] hello? [00:21] macd: Nope, didn't do any "backtrace" or anything, I just was hoping to find something a bit more stable. I suppose I could do a bug report. [00:21] okay so i just tried some other disks, its not reading any CDs DVDs only [00:21] douye: damn idk i was so close to using itunes for my ipod which works great....goddamn windows i hate using it... and banshee or gtkpod dont work to upload songs in hardy heron [00:21] SeaPhor: yes, it's actually the same driver I used last time and it worked. It's the only driver for touch screens that Im aware of. [00:21] i tried a previous distro of Kubuntu that worked [00:21] can someone help me fix my sound on my ubuntu hardy? [00:21] and a normal computer game on CD [00:21] WillCotton01: if you can still read the data you could back it up reformat under windows and copy it back [00:21] it wont read either one [00:22] yeah [00:22] ferbyboy: dont really know a way to fix it tho, might wanna try removing virtualbox without removing the virtual windows [00:22] Steve-cal, I dont have any problems with it, its very possible your missing some backend stuff [00:22] MXGamer101: definitely a drive failure then [00:22] WillCotton01: it might have written something to the partition that causes windows not to read it anymore === Naota is now known as Cosmo-san [00:22] Hi guys i need some help cloning my displays so my laptop screen will show on my tv its the only dvd player i have atm can some one please help me [00:22] is there any chance formatting it is gonna kill my linux install? [00:22] Jack_Sparrow, I'm not sure I'm following what you are referring to? [00:22] douye: idk i gotta see whats up man too lazy to do that [00:22] Steve-cal, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/ark make sure you have the recommended ones as well. [00:22] Hi, can someone help me fix my sound on my Ubuntu Hardy system? The sound sounds really scratchy.

[00:22] WillCotton01: not if you format the right partition [00:23] WillCotton01: be careful to select the right one though or you could kill it [00:23] Segadude You should verify by reading the faq on wubi.. but yes, I do believe you can. [00:23] hieu i had same problem i just restarted till it worked [00:23] yeah figured.. okay im gonna contact the manufacturer and see if my warranty will handle this [00:23] Hi guys i need some help cloning my displays so my laptop screen will show on my tv its the only dvd player i have atm can some one please help me [00:23] SeaPhor sorry.. tab complete [00:23] i mean assuming i pick the right one [00:23] WillCotton01: assuming you pick the right one it will be fine [00:23] Also, my wireless is not working correctly -- only the ethernet cable works when I am trying to connect to the internet. [00:23] macd: OK, I'll check that out. Thanks! [00:23] * summelsa1 feels ignored and lost :( [00:23] * hieu feels the same [00:23] Jack_Sparrow, :-)) [00:23] hieu: how did you do that?

[00:49] guys, someone here can help me with crontab? i installed a crontab file for root which restarts iptables every 15 minutes. I know for sure that the command is working, but I´m still getting emails from the cron daemon saying: /bin/sh: iptabes-restore not found [00:49] bottom right? where all my window tabs are? [00:49] saylar, cron jobs require absolute paths. [00:49] patifa: It is not listed in etc/fstab. When i added this to etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /media/WinXP ignore defaults,noauto,nouser,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 , it would still be in places menu ( just unable to mount it anymore from nautilus - probably could only mount it as a root) [00:49] so fstab or not it still is in nautilus places menu [00:49] Xsploit, thats what the panel is called ;) [00:50] well thats odd [00:50] macd, i know. thanks. i did a iptables -F to flush it and 15 minutes later the rules are effective again. i use 10 * * * * /sbin/iptables-restore /etc/iptables.up.rules [00:50] it wont add [00:50] I used alternate to install, because regular ubuntu installer was black screen as well. After boot, I select ubuntu, and then i get black screen again, hitting alt ctrl f# still gives black screen. [00:51] Any help? [00:51] I accidently made a shortcut to my desktop on my desktop.

[00:51] patifa: that is the whole problem :) I suspect gnome-mount is doing here something [00:52] macd, yeah, you can mount truecrypt in linux [00:52] saylar, yeah but I've managed to do nothing but corrupt them all [00:52] *scratching head* soo many different conversations going on heh [00:52] macd, is TC in linux command-line only? [00:52] hehe, that is something different ;) [00:52] ok ive figured out what the problem is [00:52] :p [00:52] nope, they build a gui for it [00:52] ops [00:52] Glovern: Try and remove the trash folder from your home via the terminal.

[00:54] patifa: fstab or not it still is in nautilus places menu [00:54] saylar, you have the rules file present in /etc right? [00:54] Xsploit: every monitor has some button on it, which is used to enter the internal monitor menu [00:54] patifa: even if doesn't apear in fstab [00:54] Xsploit: there you can adjust screen position etc [00:54] kalamot: odd... [00:54] yeah, sure. [00:54] douye : radeon hd 2300 [00:55] oh right [00:55] saylar, thats really odd. [00:55] like i said. i flush iptables and wait until the cron jobs starts again and afterwards the rules are active again [00:55] does Ubuntu [00:55] have apt-get for xchat ? [00:55] Man... i missed up at one of the last stages in my compilation. If a partition table is corrupted, wat software of choice for recovery?

[00:56] kolie: well it doesnt really have good support, but some folks are running it with that card [00:57] Nautilus only searches /media, I think, for drives to list to mount [00:57] MCCloak how ? [00:57] kolie: im searching on google atm for a fix [00:57] Xsploit: that is really weird [00:57] do i need to update sources.list ? [00:57] hexoroid: no [00:57] ok [00:57] douye what should I do to fix the blackness. I see the ubuntu logo, then a progress bar kinda thing, then after that blackness. When I hit the power off button it goes from black, back to logo with progress bar, then it shuts down [00:57] hexoroid: it is in standard gutsy repositories [00:58] Man... i messed up at one of the last stages in my compilation.

[01:11] kolie: and now everything runs fine? [01:11] I already know it isn't suppoerted.

[01:12] shinjin then it isnt supported.. cant do much with it [01:12] andor, possibly someone in #opera can help. [01:12] editing xorg.conf doesn't seem to get me anywhere. [01:12] ubuntu is still running i think though [01:12] at least not by inserting the proper resolutions. [01:12] hieu: You could install from source if you have it on a drive.

[01:13] what i said before didn't make much sense: so here's a better version: i got my wireless card working so that it can read networks, but when i try to connect to my network, it asks for an encryption pass. i put in my encryption pass, and it begins to connect. this is where the problem starts. it will get half way to connecting and then it will ask for my pass again. it does this over and over and continues not to connect. please help [01:14] hieu: Download the source and install from that with $ make install. [01:14] blizzardman1219 SOme cards will connect, but do not support wpa wpa2 etc.. [01:14] hieu: Ask around for more info, I'm leaving this chat.

I have the physical hard drive, I can run things on my computer, so I guess yea I do have access to the partition [01:15] jack: as far as i know this card works with encryptions, i don't see why it wouldn't. it's brand new [01:15] kolie: what system are you running on now?

Server runs fine on -generic but panics on -server or -xen [01:17] kolie: ok.. so mount the partition with ubuntu installed [01:17] blizzardman1219 HAve you checked for that card in supported hardware? New card does not mean it supports encryption in linux [01:17] does anyone know how to fix the by-uuid problem? [01:17] CoolAcid: which versions of -generic, -server, and -xen?

[01:18] MCCloak, i know its on sda but im not sure how to mount it [01:18] jack: i haven't checked that. i suppose i could disable my encryption for now but i don't know how [01:18] blizzardman1219, what chipset is your card? === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [01:18] seaphor: WG311v3 [01:18] Oh - I know why - I was looking in backports not proposed..

[01:28] Loaf: I think it's because of a 32-bit addressing limit [01:28] Loaf It should boot, it would just not be able to use all of it [01:28] aCCe-, are you familar with WINE? [01:28] Shouldnt it still boot though? I realize I wont have access to it all [01:28] !wine | aCCe- [01:28] aCCe-: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

What I am saying is that you can compile coreutils (this is the software that rm comes in) in such a way that it will not do "rm -rf /". It will tell you that you can't remove '/'. If you compile it that way the only way to remove '/' is by using a --no-preserve-root flag. Many distros compile coreutils in this manner, but ubuntu does not.

Now, I did it with the --no-preserve-root, and my VM is crashing quite badly :p [02:47] MCCloak, oh, i just read that the 2nd partition is ntfs. mayhaps that's your problem?

[03:16] broadcom, yes, both. I had wicd and wired worked, but then I stupidly uninstalled it. [03:16] my ati driver doesn't work with blender 3d can anyone help me? [03:16] no offense, but ive come to dislike broadcom drivers :P [03:17] DJ_Cranky, who doesn't? [03:17] tuga3d what driver are you using [03:17] DJ_Cranky: me too, i have this so that it will alert me if someone mentions one [03:17] eTranquility: any idea how you uninstalled it? [03:17] broadcom haha nice [03:18] broadcom: no i can't find anything with that in it [03:18] shig: darn [03:18] Broadcom: I uninstalled wicd through Synaptic Package Manager. [03:18] its weird, i had tried everything on my laptop, the b43-fwcutter, ndiswrapper, etc [03:18] no luck, then one day it just worked [03:18] broadcom: is there something wrong? [03:18] shig: the wireless is external,right? what is the name of it [03:18] how do i stream music on amarok? [03:19] DJ_Cranky: the driver from the repositories [03:19] broadcom: yeah its a usb linksys wireless adapter [03:19] eTranquility: and i take it you cant reinstall it because you cant connect to the internet? [03:19] randomly my menus bug out so that they go behind windows that are currently open, and i have to restart X to get them to open up ontop of windows that are open. [03:19] shig: what is the exact name? [03:19] Broadcom: Indeed. [03:19] eTranquility: lol, catch 22 [03:19] ok, I've just verified that the b43 module is loaded, i have an interface, but it just won't connect to the AP. [03:19] eTranquility: can you transfer file to it? [03:19] Itaku: Playlist -> Add Stream [03:20] BootNinja26 can you see the AP? [03:20] at some point I used to be able to put a script into /etc/acpi/resume.d (in particular 99-xrandr.sh), and have it run when I resume from suspend, but now that doesn't seem to happen. Am I doing that wrong, or is there some other way I'm supposed to do this? [03:20] broadcom: what do you mean that is its exact name [03:20] eTranquility: I remember... disabling stuff... some drivers, maybe... before I installed wicd. Like I said, I was messing with it, not exactly sure what I did. x.x Wired worked before without wicd. And yes, I can transfer stuff. [03:20] shig, for example linksys 59392 [03:20] apt-cache search postfix <-- does that search a local(OS) repos or remote repos(webiste) ? [03:21] eTranquility: lol, if you meant me, then you might have to reinstall if you did not keep track [03:21] broadcom: you mean the model number? it is WUSB54GC [03:21] argh, i can't use firefox 3 beta 5 without this segmentation fault crash ;( [03:21] Hi! My keyboard just died on my laptop while in ubuntu, but it works in the GRUB-menu and in windows xp. It just suddently happened after a clean reboot. Any ideas? :( [03:21] Broadcom: Yes, sorry, I did mean you, lol. I'm not sure what to reinstall though. [03:21] aCCe-: try http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-108832.html [03:22] RunKidRun, why don't you try RC1? [03:22] ok w8 [03:22] tuga3d what exactly is going wrong [03:22] Hey guys, i need some help with the genie effect in compiz... should i go to the forums [03:22] heh and now magically, I have wireless [03:23] highsaccharose what is the issue? [03:23] Broadcom: How can I figure out what I'm missing? [03:23] anybody remember off the top of their head how to set it so that iwconfig automatically configures at boot time? [03:23] soothesayer: thats to listen to other streams [03:23] i want to stream [03:23] DJ_Cranky: when i start blender it gives me segmentation fault [03:23] BootNinja26 i just use the network manager [03:23] eTranquility: there is not really a way, i would recomend reinstalling, i had the same prob [03:24] DJ_Cranky: I have genie effect selected in the Advanced Desktop Effects menu but it hasn't been doing anything, along with any of the other effects. I have the AWN dock installed. [03:24] Any thoughts? [03:24] I am a total noob to Ubuntu as well as Linux. but I love it. [03:24] Broadcom: You don't mean reinstalling Hardy, do you? o.O [03:24] I am considering abandoning Windows altogether. [03:24] !envy|tehdave [03:24] eTranquility: um... yes [03:24] Itaku: you want to stream you're music to other computers? [03:25] highsaccharose right click your desktop, choose change background then go to the visual effects section, make sure none is not checked, as none will disable compiz [03:25] Broadcom: Actually, I just messed with it again and now I have wired. =D [03:25] eTranquility: yay, lol, put the return of lspci in pastebin [03:26] tuga3d well, it could be many things, what card do you have [03:26] I'm trying to set up a dual-boot (using grub) to a different linux distro that is set up with lilo. Can it be done? [03:26] shig: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516649 [03:26] DJ_Cranky: an ATI Radeon xpress 200m [03:26] storm-zen yes [03:26] Broadcom: Okay, hang on just a sec.... [03:27] storm-zen what two distros are you after? [03:27] storm-zen, yes, you can do that. ubuntu will probably automatically detect your other system and add it to grub. [03:27] tuga3d you might need the legacy driver [03:27] Ubuntu (hardy) and smoothwall. Both are installed on separate hard drives. [03:27] is there a way i can go from ubuntu 6.06 to 8.x via the command line? [03:27] Is there any way I can password protect a specific folder? [03:27] tuga3d: is it a braodcom? [03:27] i need to upgrade a server [03:28] I couldn't install it with the other HD connected. [03:28] timelost: deskop is a server iwth more stuff [03:28] ( I had a bios issue. ) [03:28] DJ_Cranky: about to do that [03:28] does anyone know how to install compiz master on hardy? [03:28] timelost: sorry, thought you said to a server [03:28] I fixed it guys. I just deleted the .mozilla directory from my home folder and added a few packages (ubufox) and it worked ! :) thx everyone [03:28] Broadcom: i don't have access to a GUI environment [03:28] DJ_Cranky: ok, i'm going to try. Thanks [03:28] chaosrl you mean compiz config? [03:28] can somebody point the way towards a GNOME interfaced application that burns DVDs such that a DVD player can read them? [03:28] Broadcom: ssh only === morkar[2] is now known as mokka [03:29] DJ_Cranky: As far as I know, I just need to know how to tell GRUB to call the other distro, right? [03:29] timelost: sorry [03:29] timelost, try apt-get dist-upgrade [03:29] DJ_Cranky, no, i mean a version of compiz that i can compile and install extra plugins from git with [03:29] Is that information in the boot sector of the other distro, at all? [03:29] BootNinja26: does that take me to version 8.x of ubuntu? (hardy heron, i think it's called) [03:29] DJ_Cranky: does he have a broadcom? [03:30] timelost: yes [03:30] Can Ubuntu (grub) be told to spontaneously detect if there is another distro and add it to the list? [03:30] DJ_Cranky: extra effects was selected [03:30] storm-zen yes, although i would reccommend keeping both distros on one hdd and your data on the other, as GRUB by default automatically calls OS's that are on the same HDD [03:30] storm-zen: already does [03:30] randomly my menus bug out so that they go behind windows that are currently open, and i have to restart X to get them to open up ontop of windows that are open. [03:30] storm-zen, the installer usually detects my other system when I do a dual boot [03:30] *usually [03:30] DJ_Cranky: Can't do that, as Smoothwall must be on a drive by itself. [03:30] quick question- What's the default partition editor in Ubuntu 8? got a couple hours' worth of packages d/l'ing and gparted doesn't work [03:30] highsaccharose hmm... i dont know [03:31] storm-zen, if you know where your kernel resides and where your root directory is, you can manually tell grub to boot it [03:31] dabbill, in gnome? .. you can issue a "killall -9 gnome-panel to restart them [03:31] BootNinja26: That's the installer. Can't run the installer when both drives are hooked up. [03:31] BootNinja26: That's what I'm looking for. [03:31] nomasteryoda, yes its in gnome [03:31] that command will reload the panel [03:31] Mobius8345, I don't know. I always just use the terminal [03:31] err, actually it will kill it ... then gnome will know to restart it [03:31] storm-zen well it gets complicated having two bootable drives, hmm, which drive is grub running on? [03:31] does anyone know how i can change individual icon pictures? i know there are themes but there are somei want ot customize myself does anyone know how to change individual icons? [03:32] BootNinja26: ... But I don't know how to tell it. [03:32] ferbyboy: go to users [03:32] DJ_Cranky: The first one. [03:32] nomasteryoda, didnt fix my problem [03:32] ferbyboy what kind of icon, like a launcher? [03:32] bootninja- what, the text based thing, like in DSL? I'll do that. What's the command? [03:32] DJ_Cranky: /dev/hda. [03:32] does xchat have a nickcomplete function? [03:32] storm-zen and ubuntu is on that drive? [03:32] !tab [03:32] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:32] Dot2Kode, hit tab :) [03:32] or ya gota add a script? [03:32] Yes. [03:32] DJ_cranky Broadcom: yeah like the launcher icons [03:32] ferbyboy: sure. Get an icon pack, unpack it, drop it in .icons [03:32] dabbill, did you upgrade from a previous version, keeping a separate /home? [03:32] Mobius8345, fdisk /dev/hdx [03:32] thingfish thanks man [03:33] Dr_willis: hah thx [03:33] ;-) [03:33] ferbyboy: .icons is in your home folder [03:33] ah I feel like a dumbass, I was thinking that was DOS only.. thanks [03:33] thingfish i see it htere [03:33] sometimes I think it'd be easier if they WERE completely different command sets :) [03:33] but then what? [03:33] storm-zen then yes, you need to tell ubuntu's GRUB that there is another OS on the second drive [03:33] i already see some customized themes i have had [03:33] just setup hardy today and really like'n it...gota go back to freakin xp though to get some passwrds...heh... [03:33] DJ_Cranky: Is there a FAQ to do that? [03:33] well [03:33] *sigh* [03:33] Broadcom, do you know how to how to autoconfigure a wireless card on boot? I don't remember what conf file to edit [03:34] storm-zen ill take a look === flip2405 is now known as ee [03:34] BootNinja26: what card do you have? [03:34] DJ_Cranky: Much appreciated. [03:34] Dot2Kode, you can migrate your XP install into a virtualbox image === ee is now known as blag [03:34] ferbyboy: then go to the Appearance utility, choose Customize down at the bottom, then click on the Icons tab [03:34] say this..i just want a picture of virutalbox to have the windows symbol...dats it i wanna grab a small png or whatever format thats supported and assing it [03:34] Is there a reason ubuntu seems unpopular in other distro community environments? [03:34] nomasteryoda, /home is a seperate install [03:34] can some one help me via resolution [03:34] i see thingfish thats how it works [03:34] nomasteryoda, /home is a seperate partition [03:34] dabbill, and you did the upgrade? [03:34] thingfish thanks [03:34] I need help with resolution [03:35] nomasteryoda, no [03:35] Broadcom, I've got the card up and running, I just need to get iwconfig to connect to the AP automatically at boot [03:35] kajo: that is a little bit off-topic [03:35] DJ_Cranky: oh well, thanks for your help [03:35] nomasteryoda, just started like 2 days ago [03:35] oh, well there goes that theory [03:35] ferbyboy: that is for whole icon sets though [03:35] nomasteryoda: i was reading' up on something about doing that...so u can run some stuff in linux? kinda like wine or what? [03:35] BootNinja26: no idea [03:35] storm-zen this set of email conversations looks like a good place to start, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grubconf/+question/8621 [03:35] Broadcom, sorry. :\ [03:35] nomasteryoda, been running hardy sence release [03:35] thingfish yeah do u know how to just change individual ones? [03:35] DJ_Cranky: Thanks! I just need a place to start, right now. :) [03:35] i guess i would have to create a brand new folder and customize them that way huh thingfish [03:35] Broadcom, is cool. I'm just loath to install Xorg on a headless system [03:35] BootNinja26, are you using ndiswrapper or other? [03:35] ferbyboy: no, sure don't [03:35] Dot2Kode, sure,... but you can run full-on windows or linux or even OS/2 warp inside VirtualBox .. or vmware server or vmware player [03:36] BootNinja26: lol [03:36] nomasteryoda: kick ass..didnt know that...gota go read up on that...ty ;-)) [03:36] in fact, i need to migrate my windows install from work... so i can use it here [03:36] =D [03:36] Broadcom yes, i do have broadcom drivers on my hp dv9420us lappy :( [03:36] hehe [03:36] when I ssh to a server, the server auth logs complain that they can't find pam_smbpass - it seems to be slowing things down a bit - any ideas why it's doing that? [03:36] SeaPhor, I just installed with the b43 driver [03:36] are there new cd images available? [03:37] DJ_Cranky: um... do you need help with them? [03:37] new release of ubuntu seems to be better on resources...i have noticed...but my graphics cars is horrible...so its not really its fault =P [03:37] card [03:37] Dot2Kode: get a cheap nvidia card [03:37] Okay see my problem is i am watching movies on my tv and my screen comes out on my tv bigger then i want but its on the smallest resolution i got so there for i need to some how make smaller resolutions [03:37] DJ_Cranky: Didn't really cover a lilo setup. Do I even need to worry that Smoothwall uses lilo? [03:38] can some one please help me [03:38] even sub-$100 cards can get you very nice desktop performance [03:38] blag ask the question [03:38] Broadcom not at the moment, lol maybe if i need to reformat or something [03:38] broadcom: hey question i extracted the folder to my desktop but then when i run the cd wusb54gc command i get a could not be found [03:38] BootNinja26, is it at the beginning of your /etc/network/interfaces? [03:38] thingfish: ya man i gota do something...getting to be horrible...gonna throw to gather another box soon and just fix it up...throw this in the closet and run as a media server.. [03:38] shig: cd desktop first [03:38] what is the correct command in ~/.vnc/xstartup to have an xterm with borders that I can also move around, once I have does not move.. [03:38] nomasteryoda, any ideas what might cause this? [03:38] storm-zen well, basically what you want is for GRUB to load lilo on the other drive, and then lilo will load smoothwall [03:39] sorry thing is not pci express..which is what really sux ;-( [03:39] meh [03:39] SeaPhor, no, that's not what I'm looking for. I need the conf file that configures which ap to connect to etc. [03:40] desktop effects, even the extra ones, will work fine with even a geforce fx 5200 I'd bet [03:40] which you could probably pick up for like $50 [03:40] thingfish im on a geforce mx4400 on my oldest desktop, and even it does transparency, etc just fine [03:40] i have a FX5200 its fine [03:40] BootNinja26, well if you want it to load at start up, it has to first on the list, or am I way off? [03:40] thingfish: thats a lot for your desktop to rotate [03:40] well then ok..hehe..looks like i gota pull out the cc# tonight then ;-) [03:40] Broadcom: Okay, sorry about that. lspci? http://paste.ubuntu.com/12879/ [03:41] Make sure you have enough memory or else black window bug [03:41] dont need a monster i dont play games...got a 360 for that stuff =P [03:41] SeaPhor, the interface is loading fine. what I need is to tell it to connect to a specific essid with a wep key. [03:41] DJ_Cranky: good to know [03:41] broadcom: i did that the extracted folder in on my desktop but when i do cd (folder name) i get a no such file or directory [03:41] SeaPhor, I'm running server so I have no gui or it would be easy [03:41] thingfish yeah, its on an old evga personal cinema card [03:42] Is it possible to fix OpenGL flicker in Hardy on an Intel 945 vid card? === b_ is now known as biabia [03:42] BootNinja26, ahhh, ok, are you using WPA or other enc? [03:42] thingfish another odd tip, vista can't do aero with it [03:42] just WEP [03:42] anyone notice.. if you un-maximize rhythm box whilst having your Visual Effects set to Extra.. the screen just kinda sits there twitching like a dead animal? [03:42] DJ_Cranky: oh now that doesn't surprise me a bit. [03:42] demonic: that's a compiz setting [03:42] BootNinja26, duh, ok saw it [03:42] BootNinja26-> paste in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [03:42] is there a ubuntu studio room ? [03:42] thingfish yeah i know [03:42] Hey guys, I just did a clean install of Hardy and it won't let me change my screen resolution past 800x600. How can I fix this? [03:42] i got a sorry ol' intel card...but it does transparency and stuff...again i can tell a differnce between hardy and feisty as far as it go's. [03:43] DJ_Cranky: is that even a directx 9 card? [03:43] demonic: if you mess with snap edges and whatnot it should fix it [03:43] DemonicButthead i havent had that problem [03:43] dassouki: yes, #ubuntu-studio I believe. [03:43] thingfish yes 9.0a i believe [03:43] Oh, and the "test displays" button doesn't seem to do anything. [03:43] amenado, /etc/network/interfaces says auto lo \n iface lo inet loopback [03:44] DJ_Cranky: Ok. I'll look at it from that perspective. [03:44] BootNinja26-> one line? [03:44] I added a snap image to somewhere.. that's why I guess [03:44] amenado, no, it's got a linebreak where i typed in "\n" [03:44] can you put the 3dmark patch on wine after installing it? so i dont have to delate the games i alread got in and workin [03:44] shig: holdon [03:44] storm-zen its kind of like when using wubi, windows bootloader will launch GRUB when you select ubuntu, you want the same idea [03:45] BootNinja26, i have that somewhere,,, i'll look for it,, hope you get it soon, but i will go look for it [03:45] ok [03:45] Oh dear, just started upgrading a server this morning and it crashed just after it downloaded everything. Now ANY command I type in is Segmentation fault [03:45] BootNinja26-> okay modify that to include your connection to your AP, put it in auto [03:45] amenado, you mean type in the iwconfig command on that first line? [03:46] can you put the 3dmark patch on wine after installing it? so i dont have to delate the games i alread got in and workin === Ttech is now known as The_Doctor [03:46] BootNinja26-> nope, put another entry for your wlan or ath0 wireless interface [03:46] jbAU: could it be hardware? [03:46] thingfish: i don't think so, ran a memcheck it's all good [03:46] dos any1 here know where apps installed from scripts downloaded from cnr.com go?

[03:52] DJ_Cranky, I monitor it fairly closely. It was at 125f/113f. I've even ran it to 180f while converting .avi's.. it tends to do it at random, not via heat..

[04:35] Starnestommy: damn, I was hoping someone here might know what the problem is, it's been like that for over an hour [04:35] DJ_Cranky, how do I log in as root? Already tried username "root" password [the root password] but it says it's wrong [04:35] * emma *smiles* [04:35] tj83: You've been here ofr less than 15 minutes.

Repeat your question every 15-20-30 minutes, and you'll get an answer soon enough [04:35] tmapj: I am in the GMT timezone, yes [04:35] ademos: There is no root password, use sudo instead of the root account.

[04:36] tau: it had that problem a couple weeks ago, then it worked for a while, but it appears to be down right now. I was able to access it a few hours ago, though [04:36] andrewbuntu yes, and considering ethernet cards rarely have problems i would say the card is broken [04:36] Belgium ? [04:36] ademos: rename a harddisk? [04:36] seeker... i know for fact that this is a popular and extremely common chip.... surely some of you have it... and even if there is a problem that is unresolved atleast let me know that others are experiencing the same thing... [04:36] france? [04:36] Flannel.. i been in here daily. [04:36] ademos right click the volumes, choose properties and attempt to rename them [04:36] Starnestommy: guess I just have to wait :( [04:36] what software i use to watch .rm streaming video's from the web? [04:36] DJ_Cranky thanks, I will just stop trying to get it to work then. Thanks for the help. It must be broken. [04:36] ademos: Whatever you were going to do (command wise), put sudo in front of it and it'll work. [04:36] Flannel, ademos right click the volumes, choose properties and attempt to rename them [04:36] tj83: If people have been having the same problem, it will probably have bene reported on the forums / in launchpad [04:36] Bug #181703 [04:36] Launchpad bug 181703 in brasero "Brasero does not recognize audio CD or blank CD-R" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181703 [04:36] ademos: right click the volume where? [04:36] tmapj: "GMT" is sufficient :) [04:37] Flannel, I assumed in "computer" [04:37] is there anyone who could help me get the virtual midi keyboard working? [04:37] Flannel, here's a repeat of my issue --- Ubuntu Hardy: After using the correct fstab commands, I get my two harddisks auto-mounted, and put on my desktop, but I can't seem to get their mount point names to be displayed. instead they're named "1000.2 GB Media" which wouldn't be that big a deal, except I have two indenticle disks. Any ideas? [04:37] seeker... i was unaware of "launchpad" that might be helpfull.... investigating... [04:37] ademos: `gksu nautilus` will get you a root nautilus window. Close that window *as* *soon* *as* you're done. [04:37] Flannel, and my fstab http://pastebin.ca/1021564 [04:37] although google turned up nothing. [04:37] i'm just about to upgrade ubuntu. I have windows on the same computer, is there any problem with it? [04:37] tmapj: Have you tried googling? [04:37] Flannel, alright [04:38] http://launchpad.net <-- tj83 [04:38] ademos go to system-administration- login window- go to security tab, check the box that says allow local administrator logon [04:38] ademos: I believe automount stuff is done in mtab, but I'm not too familiar with the gnome automounting. [04:38] seeker i want to emigrate to Europe, preferably Scandinavia. Would you be able to help me out or give me some direction at all? [04:38] i'm just about to upgrade ubuntu. I have windows on the same computer, is there any problem with it? [04:38] tmapj: OT [04:38] DJ_Cranky, used the gksudo and got in [04:39] ademos: Please don't recommend people enable the root account, let alone log in graphically with it. [04:39] ademos that works too :D [04:39] I am currently using a Linksys Wtr54g, and I have some idiots that like to use LimeWire... is there a way I can block limewire from the router ??? [04:39] is there anyone who could help me get the virtual midi keyboard working? [04:39] Flannel, strange, the drives appear to be named "storage" and "projects" but everywhere else sidebar, desktop, they are "100 gb media" [04:39] Flannel, that wasn't me recommending it, it was DJ_Cranky .... [04:40] tmapj: Please stop repeating your question so often. If people know the answer they will tell you. I would advise *at least* 15 minutes [04:40] KindOne: not ubuntu related [04:40] KindOne: i guess you could block the standard limewire port :) [04:40] is it just me or does 8.04 suck a lot? [04:40] that will only slow it down [04:40] KindOne, You could see whata ports they are using and block the ports. not the app. Good luck with it however. :) a lot of those apps can change ports [04:40] I have windows and ubuntu on the same PC. is there any problem with the upgrade to 8.04????? [04:40] misngh i don't see any downside versus earlier versions [04:40] marcioapf: it should work [04:40] misngh: it doesn't, but: every new ubuntu release has a number of people with problems. never update to it immediately... [04:40] marcioapf how is the dual boot configured, with wubi or with partitions? [04:40] wait a bit for it to settle down [04:41] DJ_Cranky, i see plenty .. the changes are gratuitous and regressive [04:41] ademos: err, sorry. You're right, and I knew that. [04:41] i have partitions. [04:41] hey, how do I run chkdsk on an external usb drive in ubuntu 8.04 (noob question, yes) [04:41] whats the channel for ubuntu studio, anyone? [04:41] DJ_Cranky: Please don't recommend people enable the root account, let alone log in graphically with it. [04:41] DJ_Cranky i have partitions [04:41] Flannel ok, [04:41] tmapj: #ubuntustudio [04:41] Arrick: fsck /path/to/device [04:41] heya Flannel [04:41] marcioapf i don't see how there could be any problem [04:41] Howdy Arrick [04:41] thanks wols_ [04:41] the new wireless tool sucks, i have to reconfigure wlan after couple of reboots/wakeups .. the samba tools are shit, the new nautilus thing is buggy as hell .. what's to celebrate? [04:41] Flannel, DJ_Cranky so it seems the only two places I don't see the labels are the side bar and the desktop....the two places I need them most; any ideas? [04:42] arrrgh, there's no one in ubuntustudio [04:42] DJ_Cranky ok, thanks =) [04:42] Flannel, I can see the labels while in root nautilus [04:42] hi again [04:42] ademos: You may try #gnome on irc.gnome.org if no one here knows. I'm not all that familiar with gnome [04:42] misngh: Do you actually have a support question? Or are you just here to insult ubuntu? Also, please watch your language [04:43] Flannel, okay thanks [04:43] Seeker`, support question for what? there is zero chance of having anyone care or even be aware that it's broken [04:43] ademos i have the same problem with my drives, so if you find a solution please do share [04:43] wols_ uhmm, how do I get the path to it, when it tells me to run fsck without device being mounted? [04:43] misngh: You're welcome to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic, but this channel is for support only. Thanks. [04:43] DJ_Cranky, hah alright. And by the way, it worked flawless in Gutsy [04:44] i've follow this wiki and when i try to build the driver gives me an error [04:44] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [04:44] Arrick: fdisk -l, check your dmesg, etc [04:44] ademos i know... :( [04:44] Does anyone know how to apply source patches? [04:44] so talking about how ubuntu sucks is off topic? no one interested in fixing bugs and figuring otu what's wrong? explains a lot actually [04:44] tuga3d: which driver, WHAT error? [04:44] misngh: yes, it is offtopic [04:44] hey i am trying ot install vlc from synaptic and i get this msg: vlc: [04:44] Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>=1.2.5) but it is not installable [04:44] why is that? [04:44] misngh: Talk about Ubuntu is offtopic. support is the only topic for this channel. [04:44] misngh: yes in this channel it is [04:44] Yay switching from Ubuntu to just plain Debian Stable. [04:44] misngh: this is a SUPPORT channel, not a RANT channel. so yes you are OT [04:44] misngh: don't come in here complaining about something, go to Launchpad and file a bug [04:45] misngh - please stop, you are not on a good path. [04:45] misngh: so you can ask about the specific problems you have but not rant about them. [04:45] i send plenty of "crash reports" to launchpad [04:45] and "program X sucks" is ranting. very stupid ranting [04:45] misngh: that rocks! thanks! [04:45] wols_: http://pastebin.com/m63a46d99 [04:46] misngh: Bugs are in #ubuntu-bugs, etc, we have lots of channels for specific things, this one is for support only. Ranting is welcome in #ubuntu-offtopic, but not here. [04:46] Flannel: hehe welcome? ;) [04:46] tuga3d: why do you compile this driver? [04:46] Flannel - I'm not sure that ranting is welcome in -offtopic either. [04:46] because the driver from repository crashs blender 3d. i'm just trying... === Sindacious_ is now known as Sindacious [04:47] zChris: Of course it is. As long as it follows the CoC, nothing wrong with banter. [04:47] is there any easy way for me to check if my system is booting in legacy mode or ahci? I'm on a mac pro and I tried patching the GRUB stage1 but I can't tell if it is working or not. Things seem much snappier but it's hard to tell after this many reboots. [04:48] nobody seems to know if a new install cd is coming. i might open a launchpad bug suggesting one. [04:48] wols_: because the driver from repository crashs blender 3d. i'm just trying... [04:48] solrize_: What do you mean a new install CD? [04:48] Can someone confirm that they have core 2 duo with cpu scaling working? [04:48] ng0n: dmesg should tell if it uses achi [04:48] *ahci [04:48] is there anyone who could help me get the virtual midi keyboard working? [04:48] hey all... I was wondering if anyone would know this... I have an IBM PC. When I run Windows XP.. the fan is on the whole time and is super loud... and it's really slow. When I run Ubuntu, the fan comes on when needed and everything runs smoothly [04:48] flannel, one that doesn't propagate the openssl bug. the current install cd is practically malware. [04:48] why does it say in "Screen and Graphics" taht I have no driver? I have Intel 945 GMA graphics card, resolution and everythign works great, but under 'driver' it says none [04:48] is something wrong with Windows or is the BIOS settings or something? Do I have a virus perhaps? [04:48] ahorriblemess: this is OT here. ask windows people [04:49] wols: what is OT? [04:49] !ot [04:49] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:49] my geforce 6600 doesn't work in hardy but it works out of the box in gutsy, any ideas? [04:49] ahorriblemess: you don#t have a ubuntu related problem [04:49] wols_ : it's not off topic at all... I'm asking about the difference [04:49] solrize_: 8.04.1 will be out in July (3rd), and with each point release you get a new install CD. You still may wish to suggest a patched CD on LP though, as that's probably a good idea. [04:49] awag: doesn't work is a bad way to ask for help [04:49] awag doesn't work as in no 3D acceleration? [04:49] wols_: it's not a problem... it's about why Ubuntu seems to run so smoothly [04:49] DJ_Cranky: right [04:49] ahorriblemess: it is off topic. we don't support windows. end of story [04:50] ubuntu uses the powermanagement as it should that's all [04:50] awag you install nvidia-glx? [04:50] flannel, thanks. [04:50] DJ_Cranky: and i can't change resolution above 800x600 [04:50] Flannel: when there is a new release, can you simply do a apt-get install update to update to that release ? [04:50] wols_: I don't want windows support. Does the Ubuntu install change BIOS fan settings? [04:50] hey wols_ how do I make an external USB drive mount automatically to the same place every time it gets plugged in? (I think its fstab or something, but I dont know how) [04:50] windows doesn't have the ubuntu powermanagement [04:50] ahorriblemess: no [04:50] zChris: Sort of yeah. You use update manager [04:50] wols_: you're a jerk [04:50] ahorriblemess... i agree this is a windows issue... please use the windows task manager to see processes using cpu [04:50] no, ubuntu doesn't change bios settings [04:50] Arrick: you edit fstab yes. man fstab [04:50] after that seek windows channel support [04:50] ahorriblemess: Kebert Xela did it. [04:51] tj83 #windows can help you [04:51] awag did you install nvidia-glx? [04:51] (Im in there) [04:51] hmmm. no sign of 'ahci' in the dmesg [04:51] awag: are you running a dual monitor setup? [04:51] !nvidia | awag [04:51] awag: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:51] not good ... :( [04:51] Arrick... i dont even have windows installed? [04:51] no dual monitors, i'll check out that thread [04:52] ng0n: I dunno about macs, but can't you set ahci in BIOS/OF ? then it would use ahci normally [04:52] wols_ macs are EFI [04:52] * Gauss 's head is now a giant egg. [04:52] ah yes [04:52] no bios [04:52] :) [04:52] and no OF anymore either :( [04:52] ok yeah, I have that closed source driver "enabled" but on the right side it says it cannot be used [04:52] Arrick... please explain your last comment. [04:52] and the stupid thng is that when we boot legacy AHCI is disable [04:52] awag: then this is the first step: make that one work [04:52] hi all, just wondering if anyone can help me [04:53] so some people have made it work by patching the stage1 [04:53] pj_88: depends on what the problem is [04:53] i just downloaded 8.04 and burned the image onto a disc, but it doesnt go anyfurther than the loading screen [04:53] but it's not seeming to do the trick for me, I can't even see SATA bus anywhere [04:53] !md5sum [04:53] ok, goodbye everyone [04:53] What does 'drm' stand for in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.ko? [04:53] pj_88 do a checksum but probably just grab the alternate disc [04:53] who thought making transmission as the default torrent client was a good idea... its a POS [04:53] pj_88: check if you burnt it right by comparing the md5sums [04:53] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [04:54] jaek: lol agreed :D [04:54] tj83 misdirected, was supposed to go to the guy you were talking to, sorry [04:54] ok thanks [04:54] jaek: Do you have a support question? [04:54] Arrick... I C. thanx [04:54] Seeker`, yeah, how do i get a better torrent client ;) [04:54] is there a support channel for Intel video cards? [04:55] also, maybe a pointless question, but what is better to start out on for a new linux user, ubuntu or opensuse..(i realise there may be some bias here) [04:55] Howdy everyone! [04:55] pj_88: you already answered your question... [04:55] pj_88: wrong channel ? :) [04:55] man, i just spent like 12 hours on this freaking ahci nonsense when I should have been buried in eclipse, i hate my inability to let things go .... [04:55] jaek: use synaptic and search for bittorrent. I personally use azureus [04:55] <----- votes for Ununtu as a newbie himself [04:55] randomly my menus bug out so that they go behind windows that are currently open, and i have to restart X to get them to open up ontop of windows that are open. Any one know? [04:55] bullgard4: direct rendering manager iirc. not digital rights management if that's what you were thinking. [04:55] Seeker`, yeah i used to use that... was just memory intensive [04:55] jaek: install one [04:56] pj_88 ubuntu is the only way to go [04:56] I think anyway [04:56] kdc1956: have you used opensuse also? [04:56] only way to go? [04:56] hehe [04:56] evrybody here think [04:56] yes I have it too [04:56] 10.3 [04:56] they are comming out with 11.0 soon [04:56] atrus: Thank you. [04:56] pj_88: this is not the best channel to compare distros. This is the Ubuntu support channel for people with problems. [04:57] ok, i guess its safe to assume that not a sould in here has a core 2 duo processor. [04:57] soul* [04:57] tj83, I have c2d and quad xeons [04:57] i gots c2d [04:57] mgs.... do you have cpu scaling funtionality? [04:57] ok, I need help.. I have a usb device which was initially plugged in, mounted as /dev/sdd1 /media/disk .... siad device quit working, and now the device still shows on my desktop, and in the /media/ area, but I cannot get them to go away... how do I get rid of this? [04:57] emma: its a failry good channel to start with, just seeing what people think, and how easy it would be to pick up for a new user [04:58] the xeons are scaled to 2.4 right now [04:58] from 3 [04:58] can't speak for the c2d but I assume it works [04:58] never tried the scaling here.. [04:58] pj_88: #ubuntu-offtopic is a good channel not this one [04:58] can anyone help me with a WiFi card: "Atheros?" AR5211 [04:58] I thought that C2D's auto scaled???? [04:59] mgs... what driver is used for you? acpi-freq? [04:59] pj_88 use your chat client to search the Freenode channel list for Ubuntu. You will find lots of channels. Some of those are better for socializing. This one is for support only. [04:59] tj83, whatever is default [04:59] My mouse has two ugly shadows at weird distances. I don't want any shadows. How do I fix this? [04:59] IS this under xorg? [04:59] tj83, me=linux newb, solaris/osx user. [05:00] are there any know issues with DVD burning in Ubuntu Hardy x64? [05:00] will you use cpufreq-info and check driver? [05:00] marpstar: that's a very general question :) [05:00] marpstar, ive had issues under the normal 32 bit hardy. :( [05:00] maxxxx same will you check on that for me? [05:00] massive? [05:00] can someone answer a question [05:01] have nvidia? [05:01] marpstar, I've read about drive problems relating to hardy, and how it ID's your drives... [05:01] omar9417: if you ask it, we might be able to answer it [05:01] marpstar, supposedly it now calls them scd1, and so on, or something, and that causes problems... [05:01] is there anyone who could help me get the virtual midi keyboard working? [05:01] !ask |omar [05:01] omar: 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. :-) [05:01] i have a 64bit processor should i install ubuntu 64bit version or is it the same as the 32bit version [05:02] MassiveAttack? have Nvidia? === Veinor is now known as Veinor|ZzZ [05:02] omar9417: for most users the 32 bit version will satisfy their needs. [05:02] Anyone else gotten the AHCI working on a Mac Pro? [05:02] I have mouse shadows, does anyone know how to fix this/turn them off? Someone said it was xorg on #fluxbox. I have an old HP laptop, InuYasha, so I doubt it. [05:02] tj83 I am almost positive. but dont quote me on it. [05:02] omar9417: a couple things like java and flash don't work as well in the 64-bit version, but the 64-bit version is a bit faster [05:03] MassiveAttack ido [05:03] but im having some trouble with the 32bit version [05:03] mgs.... cpufreq-info output for driver used? [05:03] for example trying to see a movie runs slow [05:03] Starnestommy: can you qualify that? I've seen several people say that and i've never seen any examples of how thats true. [05:03] Starnestommy: about java [05:03] omar9417: I have been told that unless you have 4 GB of RAM or more you will not notice any appreciable improvement in performance with 64 bit. However there is a chance you will experience more headaches. [05:03] Does anyone know how to fix my pen for my tablet laptop? It was working with 7.10 but when I upgraded to 8.04 it does not work.... [05:03] maxxxx.... almost positive of what? [05:03] InuYasha, ido? As in, the language that is a branch off of esperanto? (I am being half facetious to demonstrate I have no idea what you are talking about.) [05:03] oh ok [05:04] omar9417, i also have 64 bit, i am running 3 gb ram and that is why i run 32 bit OS, no reason yet to run 64, had more probs with compatability issues on 64 than needed 32 bit is fine [05:04] http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=diagramadeclasesqx2.jpg <---- can someone see this class diagram and tell me if its ok, its my first class diagram [05:04] mgs: I had to use a 32-bit version of firefox for java to work on the 64-bit version of ubuntu [05:04] tj83 auto scaling [05:04] mgs: although for some reason it occasionally works but usually fails in the 64-bit firefox [05:04] does anybody here have problems trying to se a movie [05:04] would autoscaling be represented in a cpu frequency monitor app... such as gkrellm or another? [05:04] tj83: bash: cpu-freq: command not found [05:05] hey, anyone have an eta on firefox 3 RC1 hitting repos? [05:05] omar9417, be sure you have all the codecs installed. [05:05] never mind. do ye have nvidia? mouse shadows should be in (main menu) system,admin [05:05] mgs.... sorry its "cpufreq-info" and i think it relies on package cpufrequtils.... so if you dont have it thats fine.. thanks anyways [05:05] Starnestommy: I spend the majority of my time coding in java and eclipse hasn't given me a peep on the 64bit hardy [05:05] omar9417, try watching with vlc, its in the repos, let me know if you need help installing [05:05] i have them all i can see the movie but it slows down [05:06] vlc [05:06] mgs: java applications work, but java web applets are a different story [05:06] were can i find that [05:06] VLC = best imho [05:06] omar9417: look in the package manager [05:06] VLC rocks [05:06] oh wait i have that [05:06] it does the same [05:07] omar9417, type that full name of the person you are talking to,, [05:07] Starnestommy: can you send me a link to try? not trying to be a pain at all, I just need to figure out if I should reinstall 32bit because java is my life... haha [05:07] oh ok [05:07] Can someone help me? how do i open up ports on Ubuntu? [05:07] starnestommy i have vlc [05:07] !tab | omar9417 [05:07] omar9417: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:07] how is free flash plugin working in x64 these days? [05:08] funny. thats the only thing keeping me on 32bit. damn flash [05:08] Falling-Inferno: as far as i know ports are open if yoiu havent installed a firewall by yourself [05:08] I'm out thanks all. [05:08] tj83, I grabbed that package but still no command 'cpufreq-info' [05:08] im kinda bad with this [05:08] mgs: http://www-jpc.physics.ox.ac.uk/Demo4.html is a rather complex applet that works in the 32-bit firefox but not the native 64-bit one for me. [05:08] omar9417, if you already have it then right click in the movie and play with vlc [05:08] mgs..... let me try it again. [05:09] By default "according to ubuntu's site" All Ports are closed by default [05:09] tj83, k, sorry couldn't help [05:09] And that isn't helpful because no one can see my website [05:09] yep.... cpufreq-info outputs fine for me [05:09] thanks though [05:09] I opened all the ports on my router but no one can see it.

[05:11] SeaPhor, original disck [05:11] Falling-Inferno: What's the problem you're having? no one can connect? can you connect locally? can someone on your LAN connect? [05:11] Flannel PM me please [05:11] Argh, PulseAudio is annoying -- if you pause a gstreamer app, or let Totem finish playing, it eats CPU. [05:11] And then dies. [05:11] I can connect locally and it says IT WORKS! [05:11] omar9417, are you dual-booted ? [05:11] but no one can connect outside of my house [05:11] And then makes all gstreamer apps lock up and require kill -9. [05:11] sda0 and ntfs is 10g ext3 is 15g [05:11] .... if you're fast enough to do it before they eat all your memory! [05:12] Falling-Inferno: you probably have a router [05:12] Seaphor, no [05:12] Falling-Inferno: Ah! outside the house. You need to forward ports on your router [05:12] DanaG I though pulse was going to be the future of audio on linux [05:12] ?? [05:12] I tried. [05:12] can anyone help me configuring mythbuntu ? [05:12] omar9417, what video card do you have? [05:12] mgs would you do one more thing for me... would you look at " cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver " [05:12] Falling-Inferno: what about through your LAN IP? [05:12] tj83, sure [05:12] SeaPhor, ATI Radeon 200m [05:12] Falling-Inferno: Well, obviously it didn't work as wll as you'd hoped. But that's the problem, not an Ubuntu one (and we can help you with that) [05:12] I have a problem that might be pulseaudio related -- When I start an application that uses audio then I can no longer listen to YouTube until a restart. Or, if I listen to YouTube then I can no longer listen to audio in any other ap, in until restart. What is the fix? [05:12] But my router is Verizon and I have Port 80 open but it doesn't give me a option for anything else. [05:12] can someone tell me how you join another channel in xchat? [05:13] SeaPhor, its a laptop [05:13] 64 bit JRE is broken :) [05:13] Falling-Inferno: it could be Verizon blocking port 80 [05:13] tmapj: /join #channel [05:13] tmapj: type /join #channel [05:13] thats not working === Sindacious_ is now known as Sindacious [05:13] omar9417, does that show in xorg.conf? [05:13] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/192888 [05:13] Launchpad bug 192888 in pulseaudio "firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport" [High,In progress] [05:13] acpi-cpufreq [05:13] I don't get why Hardy includes PulseAudio. [05:13] SeaPhor, yes [05:13] tj83: acpi-cpufreq [05:13] anyone know what makes pulseaudio so much better than alsa? [05:13] If you aren't going to include the UI to use it, it's worse than useless! [05:13] ok, thank you... that is what we have been trying to use... [05:13] All it does is break the ability to do anything, such as setting default audio device. [05:14] I can't get Gnash SWF Viewer to open [05:14] omar9417, what is swap size? [05:14] i want to decrease one of my volume size..using lvm....is it safe? === narg_ is now known as narg [05:14] SeaPhor, theres a new update on ATI.com but i dont know how to install it [05:14] No i logged onto my router and added it. But it doesn't give me a option for tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [05:14] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [05:14] tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN these ports.

[05:14] SeaPhor, sorry i dnt know whats a swap [05:14] !pastebin > Falling-Inferno [05:15] omar9417 a swap is similar to a page file in windows [05:15] Falling-Inferno: it's your ISP blocking it, not your router. I have heard of other people not being able to run webservers on verizon because port 80 was blocked by verizon at the ISP level [05:15] mgs mind pastebin /etc/cpufreq.conf [05:15] ? [05:15] *Sigh* this is more trouble than its worth. -_- [05:15] and i wont ask for anything more :) [05:15] omar9417, what is the update on ati? [05:16] randomly my menus bug out so that they go behind windows that are currently open, and i have to restart X to get them to open up ontop of windows that are open. Any one know? [05:16] SeaPhor, yes [05:16] Starnestommy: looks like I'll only be using ubuntu for play until java is fixed :( [05:16] tj83, no problem at all, until I leave you can ask as much as you'd like! haha [05:16] hey.. can you'll help me fix these dependencies when dpkg -i ? http://pastebin.com/d48683abe [05:16] Falling-Inferno you can use a different port to get around ISP blocking. [05:16] mgs... ya thats greatly appreciated... but my GF however isnt as helpful LOL [05:16] Is it possible to fix OpenGL flicker problem with Intel 945 GMA graphics card? disabling compiz does not work.

[05:19] nope. [05:19] SeaPhor, at least if i can install that update it might fix it [05:19] omar9417, , no, what is it,,, a .zip, .tar. is it for linux,,, ??? [05:19] life, me? [05:19] alphabetical...Fesity, Gusty, Hardy [05:19] tj83: haha ;) be careful, i lost my girlfriend because of java ... [05:19] :) [05:19] yeah...sorry trend [05:19] Falling-Inferno like Starnestommy said. but also forward it on your router.... [05:19] cool, thanks :0 [05:19] omar9417, maybe, but thats where to start [05:19] np [05:19] i never thought I would have to say that.... haha oh well [05:19] tj83, i'm not seeing that conf though [05:20] ack... can someone help me get my Avant Window Navigator working again?...

[05:20] lifewithryan: algorithmic art [05:20] excuse me, I just installed Gnash SWF Viewer in ubuntu but I can't get it to open. Can you help me? [05:20] nevermind -.- [05:20] omar9417, also, are you on 7.10, or 8.04? [05:20] illriginal: did you see the factoid? [05:20] thats interesting. when acpi-freq driver is used... it uses that file for governor scheduling [05:20] !awn > illriginal [05:21] lol it opens with emerald [05:21] SeaPhor 8.4 but i dint had that problem on 7.10 [05:21] tj83: maybe because I haven't rebooted? no idea [05:21] http://localhost:81/ [05:21] i've had tons of issues with compiz/awn etc on my thinkpad...was fine in Gutsy...upgraded...lost it all and had to reconfigure like mad [05:22] So. thats correct? I restarted and everything and No-Ip.org is adding the changes now all is left is to add it to my router. Wish me luck [05:22] how do you force update the locate db? [05:22] you didnt install it... it was already there... cpufrequtils is not a driver only untilities for information and control of a install driver. so your driver acpi-freq was already running. [05:22] mgs, ' sudo updatedb' [05:23] randomly my menus bug out so that they go behind windows that are currently open, and i have to restart X to get them to open up ontop of windows that are open.

[05:29] SeaPhor, its a compaq presario v2000 i think its 2 years old [05:30] hi [05:30] But I don't get it when my brother Opens a port on his computer it is forwarded. My Port Forwarding System is flooded with his games and msn and such [05:30] PPKuma: ah, well in that case that would be one thing to try. The "in Linux" way is to use package management, not compile manually on individual systems, so the answer to your question as asked doesn't really apply to the particular instance. [05:30] He is running WinXP [05:30] where would files from firefox be saved ? [05:30] how do i rebuild a debian package? [05:30] how do i switch login manager to GDM? [05:30] SeaPhor, mine is single core [05:30] mgs... did /etc/cpufreqd.conf return anything I was giving you cpufreq.conf before [05:30] echelon_: the /topic in #ubuntu-motu has good links for packaging stuff. [05:30] Falling-Inferno you need to forward port 81 from the router to the ip of your computer === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid [05:31] tonyyaruso: say what? =/ [05:31] omar9417, go to system>Admin>system monitor [05:31] tonyyarusso, i meant something that's already packaged [05:31] ok [05:31] echelon_: yes, but the building is part of packaging. [05:31] ok [05:31] And how would i do that? [05:32] make install doesn't have a clean way to uninstall unless they gave you an uninstall script [05:32] omar9417, click on the "resources" tab, how many CPUs do you see there? [05:32] Falling-Inferno log into your router. goto the forwarding page, and enter the info... [05:32] maxxxx: hmm aint there a vnc server that accepts password longer than 8 ? [05:32] I did. But how do i make it Computer side? [05:33] Like My port is closed on my computer but its open on my router? [05:33] Hey can someone answer my question, please? [05:33] u need the firewall settings on hardy herron [05:33] SeaPhor sorry but how do i do that [05:33] is it with the terminal [05:33] deltaslaya: I don't think so [05:33] omar9417: cat /proc/cpuinfo [05:34] Starnestommy: What do you mean? [05:34] that's in the terminal. it has a lines "processor" [05:34] whats the question delta [05:34] deltaslaya: he was beign sarcasic ask your question [05:34] Falling-Inferno it needs to be open on your computer. like starnestommy said earlier. then your router will forward any requests on port 81 to your computers ip.. [05:34] ok [05:34] In the workspace switcher app, are you supposed to be able to drag the windows and move them to other workspaces? [05:35] deltaslaya: I don't think HArdy is able to switch applications' workspaces by dragging them onto the switcher applet [05:35] delta check your private message area [05:35] zChris hmm i dont know. I thought they all would??? [05:35] Falling-Inferno: BAD idea if you need help from people to be sarcastic [05:35] no i mean you drag the representation of the window [05:35] yeah you can [05:35] Well why doesnt it work [05:35] just drag the button to the switcher window [05:35] SeaPhor those should be my computer specs [05:35] omar9417, click on "System" > "Administration" > "System Monitor" [05:35] deltaslaya: oh. it appears to be working in gutsy, but for some reason it doesn't in hardy. [05:35] maxxxx: tightvnc has a limit on 8 :< [05:35] ? [05:36] Anyway. [05:36] deltaslaya: there might eb a related bug report somewhere [05:36] i noticed that to recently [05:36] *be [05:36] I hold my mouse over a representation of a window and it says click to start dragging "window" but when i drag it nothing happens [05:36] Is there some way i can do a Port Scan to check? [05:36] Is there anything good out there for batch-encoding/converting audio? I could write my own script, but I'm lazy :-/ [05:36] Ok it's not too big of a deal I was just wondering. So it's not just me then? [05:36] did u click and hold [05:36] Falling-Inferno: to check what? [05:36] zChris sorry man. I didnt know that. have you considered looking in synaptic for VNC and seeing what the repos have to offer? [05:36] Inferno...i can scan you if you want [05:36] Need some help with apache2 and php5 in Hardy [05:36] To check to see if I have the ports open on my computer and my router. [05:36] So that way i can host this website for my Et clan -_- [05:37] omar9417, then click the "Resorces" tab (directly under the Help) [05:37] Inferno: may i scan you? [05:37] What would prevent NVIDIA X Server Settings from saving to the X Configuration File? I am getting the error message "Unable to create new X config backup file '/etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup'. [05:37] someone had a PHP 5 question as well? [05:37] ? [05:37] i saw it go by [05:37] how do i set startup items for gnome? [05:37] DemonicButthead: did you run it with sudo? [05:37] ok [05:37] delta, if you check the preferences for the switcher bar do you have it set to show items from both workplaces, or just the main one? [05:37] apache2 and php5 [05:37] inferno, I can scan your machine but its illlegal without your permission [05:37] tmaleshafske: what kind of help do you need with apache and php5? [05:37] Yeah go ahead. [05:37] Butthead...sudo, but be aware there are nVidia bugs that prevent it from working correctly all the time [05:37] ok, just a second [05:37] Falling-Inferno when you open firefox right now on your computer and type in http://localhost:81/ what do you get? [05:38] I'm trying to set up a installation of Egroupware on my server [05:38] If you are using the nVidia drivers [05:38] My webpage [05:38] Wols- I don't believe so.. I forget if I used Synaptics or Sudo to get my drivers [05:38] you live in tampa area inferno? [05:38] saying It works! as the default for Apache. [05:38] Yes [05:38] When I go to do the install of the database in SQL it just immediately goes back to the login in page [05:38] just want to make sure i have the rright machine [05:38] Ruff^: You mean the workspace switcher app settings? No, I just have columns and rows. [05:38] Falling-Inferno cool so we know its your router. you need to log into it and forward the router [05:38] $version [05:38] DemonicButthead: that's no answer to my question. nvidia xconfig needs to run as root to be able to write to that directory [05:38] SeaPhor ok [05:38] $version [05:39] There is nothing in any of apache logs in reference to the reason [05:39] okay then you have a number of ports listening, but your router is bascially "blocking" them...i had to do "special" things to get them to respone to my scan [05:39] deltaslaya: I think https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/227655 might be related to this [05:39] Launchpad bug 227655 in compiz "Can't drag and drop windows in workspace chooser" [Undecided,New] [05:39] My only guess is that I am missing something in my installation or config of Apache and PHP [05:39] tmaleshafske: install a sql DB and a webpage have nothing to do with each other. installing is done via apt-get install, the webpage is access with a browser [05:39] omar9417, under the top graphs, is there a CPU1 and a CPU2? [05:40] tmaleshafske: it could also be a bug in what you're trying to install [05:40] where'd ya go inferno? [05:40] you have misunderstood [05:40] im here. [05:40] i can see the web page [05:40] tmaleshafske: cause you described it wrongly [05:40] i count about 13 ports open [05:40] when i login to setup/index.php [05:40] quick question about the sound system in ubuntu 8.04: How can i make it so one program using sound DOESNT horde the sound device so I can have more than 1 program using sound at the same time (I want to be able to hear pidgin sounds while i am playing a game, watching youtube vids, etc... anything that uses sound)? [05:40] Oh yea, it doesn't work when visual effects are set to anything other than none. [05:40] I found a problem with nvidia & xmame.....if you are in an IM situation, it's most pronounced. when I xmame my favorite video game...the game switches the screen resolution.....then during game play.....if there's any screen activity at all...nvidia will switch the screen mode (and de-focus the game)...which usually ends up killing off a ship/man/dot et al...very irritating [05:40] i don't see 81, i do see 80 [05:40] tmaleshafske: but you get sent back to the login page when you try to set it up? [05:40] i have a taskbar at the bottom of my screen that has all open programs in button form that also has a recycle bin on it, thats what im talkin about, if you right click and go to preferences it has the option to show programs from one workspace, or both at the same time [05:40] SeaPhor computer 1 [05:40] you create the database via the setup on the website [05:40] Falling-Inferno ok so you know your local IP address of your computer. just add that to the forwarding page with port 81 TCP [05:41] Wols: I'm obviously not logged in as root, and I'm not running the NVIDIA X Server Settings within terminal.. if that's what you're thinking.. there's no sudo command to it.. it's trying to write to the xorg.conf file without being logged into the terminal as root [05:41] which then ports to the mysql database that you chose [05:41] Ruff^: You mean the bottom panel? [05:41] DemonicButthead: that cannot ever work, use gksu [05:41] omar9417, ? [05:41] when i click on create. the page goes immediately back to the login screen instead of running the command [05:41] tmaleshafske: did you setup a user to access the mysql database? [05:41] sudo /usr/bin/nvidia-settings [05:41] yes [05:42] tmaleshafske: that is no apache problem. either your webapp has a problem of sql [05:42] most probably the web app [05:42] its not anything strange like requiring register globals to be on is it? [05:42] cranyum: nvidia-settings is X based IIRC. so that cannot work [05:42] yes, not the one that contains the applications places system menus. it has 2 small boxes down in the lower right that allow you to switch workspaces u can drag the buttons onto each grey box and drop them on that workspace are [05:42] area even [05:42] Well. why is 80 showing up? if people couldn't connect via it? [05:42] i've seen similar things with OpenRealty.... [05:42] SeaPhor, comp 1 and its using 40% and im not doing nothing just chating here [05:42] wasn't neccessary prior to hardy or on a centos machine [05:42] k [05:43] Falling-Inferno: because your isp is blocking port 80 even if you're forwarding it correctly [05:43] inferno: that's just it...your router is dropping all traffic to 80 as far as i can tell...my first port scan didn't see "ANY" open ports so I had to try some TCIPIP foo to get it to show me [05:43] omar9417, says "comp" not cpu? [05:43] Falling-Inferno dont worry about that. just forward port 81 to your local IP. probably a 192.168 address [05:43] Falling-Inferno: cause your router is configured via port80 and it has a very shitty NAT like most of those routers [05:43] does anyone know how to get multiple programs using sound at the same time? [05:43] Ruff^: I can't drag onto that thing when compiz effects are enabled. And it only has two preferences, columns and rows. [05:43] SeaPhor it says CPU [05:43] Falling-Inferno: you don't want other people from outside your lan to access your router, so they block the port always [05:44] tmale: can you get "other" php apps to run? [05:44] Ok well..I couldn't add port 81 but it had the option to open up all TCP port [05:44] arialth, what kind of problems are you having? [05:44] wols_ you got any other ideas other than the globals? [05:44] ports' [05:44] Falling-Inferno dont do that [05:44] omar9417, and to the right there is no cpu2? [05:44] he's on verizon which is either DSL or FIOS, i didn't think DSL folks blocked anything, [05:44] Falling-Inferno you just opened your whole network to the net. [05:44] SeaPhor no === [1]carpool is now known as carpool [05:44] cranyum: sound works just fine, except that when 1 program using sound is running, NO other programs use sound [05:44] tmaleshafske: it's the webapp that is a problem. you didn't even tell us what it is. ask the webapp support folks [05:44] how do i hide a program and let it run invisibly? [05:45] WOLS: I have GKSU installed, and I can use the NVIDIA X Server Settings Utility to change my settings for my immediate session (trying to configure 2 displays). I don't know how I would make this permanent. [05:45] DemonicButthead: gksu lemme try a few things here inferno [05:45] yao_ziyua1: as in it doesn't show up on the desktop, or as in it doesn't show up in the process list? [05:45] I was having a similar problem, but tracked it down to a problem with Flash in Firefox [05:45] Starnestommy: doesn't show in the desktop and taskbar [05:45] i accidently deleted /usr/local/bin am i in any danger? [05:45] programs seem to still be working.. [05:46] what program can I use to convert all my music over to .ogg [05:46] As long as you don't delete / your ok. :) [05:46] tmale: can you download LIve HTTP headers and use firefox to see if its returning errors, etc? [05:46] Qster: very few things are installed there, but most things that you compile yourself use it [05:46] Qster: no ubuntu program puts anything in /usr/local/bin. unless you put something there yourself, nothing was lost [05:46] oh ok good then can i just recreate it? [05:46] cranyum: i dont think it is a PROBLEM, really. When a program runs, it seems to reserve the audio device exclusively (this is true for games like Glest, Cube2, etc...) and my problem is I have pidgin running and i want to hear when i get a message WHILE i am doing other things [05:47] Qster: yes [05:47] okies thanks [05:47] I am using googletalk's in-browser chat app, which requires flash; yet, firefox at about:plugins says I have no flash installed, and youtube agrees. [05:47] why is it that on the terminal says that i have a 800 mhz prcessor when i have a 1.6 g [05:47] yea inferno, i can't get to any of those ports [05:47] i have 4 500GB disks in my computer, im going to have software raid0 > encryption > LVM for home root and swap, im thinking, should boot just be sitting on the first drive, or should i put /boot in a very small raid1 array? [05:47] need to learn to be a little more patient before pressing enter.. [05:47] omar9417, ok, so turion is not dual core, ok 41 % is not good sign for your prob, click the processes tab and click once on the %CPU section and then click it again, to have it sort by top [05:47] omar9417: CPU scaling: linux wont use all of the processor unless it needs it [05:48] MassiveAttack: I think google talk's chat thing is xjax, not flash [05:48] Man this router is a piece of crap. [05:48] Falling-Inferno what kind is it? [05:48] omar9417: it should scale it up to 100% when the system needs more cycles [05:48] definately need to impliment a undelete or at least a confirm for dir deletion [05:48] omar9417: cat /proc/cpuinfo what does "Model name" say? [05:48] The Verizon Fios Default one they give you [05:48] WOLS: So how would I use GKSU to run the NVIDIA X Server Settings applet [05:48] lucky man has fios [05:48] Qster: there can never be an undelete on a journalled filesystem [05:48] Starnestommy, thanks. I installed the extra repositories, and then restarted firefox; shouldn't flash thus be installed as per https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/web-browsing.html [05:48] DemonicButthead: I just told you [05:48] ? [05:49] ActionTec WAP/router- model MI424WR [05:49] amd turion 64 [05:49] That is the router. [05:49] omarthat will show you what is running up your system [05:49] omar9417: it says more than that [05:49] SeaPhor i did what u say [05:49] Falling-Inferno shitty. sorry i cant help you with that [05:49] omar9417, that will show you what is running up your system [05:49] MassiveAttack: is the flashplugin-nonfree package installed? [05:49] its weird i see a ton of ports but nothing is getting through [05:50] you running a MS box? [05:50] SeaPhor wow its a reallly big list of things runing [05:50] lifewithryan want me to check some stuff out on my end that your wondering about. [05:50] Falling-Inferno: doyu have more than 1 computer in your LAN? [05:50] omar9417: press uppercase C [05:50] Im running Ubuntu,My brother (1st one) Is running Ubuntu, I have another brother runing MS and a Labtop running MS [05:50] just wondering if we're getting through FIOS fine but your windows firewall is blocking it [05:50] but sort by whats using your resorces,, that will tell u where the prob is [05:51] omar9417, but sort by whats using your resorces,, that will tell u where the prob is [05:51] Falling-Inferno: go to any of your brother's PCs and try to access your LAN IP:81 [05:51] ahhh....i'm seeing a TON of MS stuff out there...so it sounds like possibly NAT [05:51] that should give you your webpage [05:51] the forwarding is from router to pc is borked [05:51] can someone help me with this? http://pastebin.ca/1021601 [05:52] Using the GNOME interface, I have a program located in System, Administration, NVIDIA X Server Settings.. how would I find out the executable file name and path so I can run it in GKSU? [05:52] My brother is being a (Sensored) right now give me a minute === Jesus2 is now known as Jesus [05:52] Starnestommy, is it telling that I can't find 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' with aptitude? [05:52] SeaPhor everything that i have is runing at the same time [05:52] DemonicButthead: press alt+f2, then type in gksudo nvidia-settings [05:52] and run it [05:53] MassiveAttack: did you enable the restricted and multiverse repositories? [05:53] makes sense now though [05:53] yelowrose, give more in explanation of problem with pastebin, everyone has areas that they are good at [05:53] i got SSH VPN working from work to my home server port 6112 and running a program via freecap to the port 6112 yet when i run the program i get this error "Your internet connection is either very poor or is not processing UDP packets thought port 6112" any ideas on how to work around it ? [05:53] machine at home is ubuntu server lol [05:53] can i just end there process [05:53] DemonicButthead: most of the time when i need to find a command for a menu item, i go to Preferences >> Main Menu, find the item, right click on it, and look at the properties [05:54] Ok [05:54] hey guys is there a channel for compiz-fusion? [05:54] I checked the computer that was unused [05:54] They can't connect to my site. [05:54] even by local IP? [05:54] I was hoping somebody could help me out with a sound problem I'm having on my Panasonic Toughbook CF-48. [05:54] Via localhost:81 or 192.168.1.3:81 [05:54] WhoNeedszz2: #compiz-fusion [05:55] thanks Starnestommy [05:55] but from your machine you can use localhost:81 and it works? [05:55] does anyone know how to create vhosts, i.e. for irc shell accounts? [05:55] Yes. [05:55] omar9417, can you shut down and cold boot your machine and come back and get to same monitor? to see if it is just running now, or is started at boot? [05:55] Arialth and WOLS.. thank you for eternal patience with me :) [05:55] localhost 81 won't work on anyone's machine but yours by the way [05:55] when i run rhythmbox and view a page in firefox with flash, one or the other will not have sound, and one will usually freeze. both provide errors when run from terminal: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12896/ - any help is greatly appreciated! [05:55] i just had some problems with my nvidia drivers soi ran envyng to get the latest drivers etc, how can i tell if the nvidia drivers are installed? (my xorg doesnt seem to like them) [05:55] DemonicButthead: np dude [05:55] SeaPhor, ok [05:55] DemonicButthead: Linux is complex like that lol [05:56] So i have to type in my ip and add :81 to the end. And that doesn't work on my machine. [05:56] Sound problem help...anyone? [05:56] omar9417, you can always find me in #SeaPhor [05:56] adam_ what is your problem? [05:56] whoa...this is wiered, lemme get this straight [05:56] SeaPhor ok ill let u know [05:56] on your machine, the web server, if you type localhost:81 you can pull it up [05:56] thx [05:56] berl:http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/09/stop-flash-from-locking-system-audio/ [05:56] Well, I've googled and looked in the ubuntu help forums for days--to no avail. Basically, I have no sound. [05:56] but if you type in your IP address 192.168.1.3:81 it doesn't work? [05:56] arialth: There's the capability of being able to do just about anything you can do on a windows pc.. there's just a round about way to everything. Gotta pay in time what you don't spend in cash.. but the experience has been invaluable [05:57] I've compiled ALSA from source (v16), but still no sound. [05:57] and from some other machine typing in 192.168.1.3:81 doesn't work either? [05:57] DemonicButthead: indeed indeed [05:57] what has anyone done with the poor font rendering in FF? [05:57] adam_ lol i am having my own slew of audio problems right now... i have no clue [05:58] Arialth: my next nightmare... not having Suspend throw my pc into a continuous cycle of rebooting and dropping ubuntu's session entirely ;) [05:58] aplay -l shows this: [05:58] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** [05:58] card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801DB-ICH4] [05:58] Subdevices: 1/1 [05:58] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [05:58] card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958] [05:58] Subdevices: 1/1 [05:58] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [05:58] uh oh [05:58] how do you change nicks in freenode? [05:58] Ok. Localhost:81 works on my computer, 192.168.1.3:81 works on my computer but not on anyone elses, 72.91.143.160:81 Doesn't work on mine or my other computers and 72.91.143.160 is my External IP [05:58] ./nick nick [05:58] WhoNeedszz2: /nick [05:59] DemonicButthead: oh gawd suspend. It worked when i first installed ubuntu 8.04 but now it crashes half of the time on resume! (After an update) and logs show naught for errors [05:59] right i have your external [05:59] not workin [05:59] working* [05:59] now can these other computers ping your internal? [05:59] does anyone know of a wikipedia application that can be used in ubuntu? [05:59] /nick dhfkjsd [05:59] let me go check [05:59] ./nick WhoNeedszzz [05:59] WhoNeedszz2: the nick that you're trying to switch to might already be in use [05:59] whoops [05:59] but it is me! [05:59] Wixi [05:59] i'm supposed to be WhoNeedszzz [05:59] did u curently drop ? [05:59] but for some reason it has me with the 2 [05:59] WhoNeedszz2: it's a ghost then [06:00] @cranyum - wow thank you! i've had this problem forever. thanks [06:00] Has anyone else been able to get sound using an Intel ICH chipset? [06:00] np [06:00] WhoNeedszz2: actually, nm. WhoNeedszz isn't conencted [06:00] i enabled the disconnect ghost option [06:00] i'm a-scared a ghosts [06:00] Yes they can. [06:00] er, WhoNeedszzz [06:00] then what the hell? [06:00] They can ping 192.168.1.3 fine. [06:00] noone knows of anything huh? [06:00] okay...sounds like your virtual host configuration is hosed up. [06:00] WhoNeedszz2: check your network or status window for any error messages [06:00] Arialth: the only problem for me is I'm no programmer.. and you almost have to be to do some of the things you have to do .. it's a new world apart from the windows slave ship. [06:01] Is there anyone on here that's an expert in getting sound working? [06:01] says WhoNeedszzz2 is not registered [06:01] any of those other machines have telnet? [06:01] !anyone | adam_ [06:01] adam_: 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? [06:01] telnet. 2 of them are windows machines so they have telenet in Command Prompt i belive. [06:01] DemonicButthead..it's not even close to what it used to be. Ubuntu has made things so much easier [06:01] etheredge, mediawiki [06:01] anyone happen to know a decent bit about xmodmap? I'm hoping i can figure out a way to make capslock+leftclick into a rightclick on my macbook.... [06:02] Falling-Inferno: iptables -L output please [06:02] Forgive me for my IRC ignorance. I need help getting sound working. === WhoNeedszz2 is now known as WNZ [06:02] DemonicButthead: lol windows. At least it isnt Mac. But i dunno a whole lot of programming and i've been able to solve many of my problems on ubuntu. I almost crapped my pants when ndiswrapper WORKED on this version of ubuntu [06:02] Falling-Inferno: and "sudo netstat -anp |grep LISTEN" too === WNZ is now known as WhoNeedszz2 [06:02] GRR [06:02] scunizi, thank you [06:02] see if you can telnet from one of those other machines to port 81 [06:03] etheredge, np [06:03] administrator@Ubuntu-Administrator-001:/var/www$ iptables -L output [06:03] iptables v1.3.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) [06:03] WhoNeedszz2: wait, it actually does appear to be connected [06:03] Starnestommy: this doesn't make sense [06:03] use sudo then [06:03] Cranyum: some of it is simple.. but it's still a huge learning curve for a windows idiot.. I've used microsoft for 18 years.. I'm more than sick of it.. I don't know what took me so long [06:03] Falling-Inferno: put sudo before that command [06:03] WhoNeedszz2: /whois WhoNeedszzz [06:03] Ok. [06:03] scunizi, do you know where i might be able to get it off the top of your head? [06:04] Lifewithryan: How would i do that paste link thing this is a pretty big output. [06:04] !pastebin [06:04] 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) [06:04] etheredge, I'll look hang on [06:04] scunizi, i think i found it [06:04] scunizi, gotta love google heh [06:04] Starnestommy: yeah that's me [06:04] heh, nifty, never saw that before wols [06:05] DemonicButthead: its the games, man, the games. They dun work on linux... well, game designers dont support linux, not the other way around. Games that run on both win32 and linux run better on linux (Nexuiz) but i dun think Steam will ever run on linux... i tried [06:05] but i'm new here, normally just in ubuntu-wisconsin [06:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12900/ [06:05] etheredge, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki and on freenode at #mediawiki [06:05] arialth: a) it does run under wine b) valve is currently porting the source engine to linux [06:05] i'm so confused [06:05] well 81 is there, but its all zeros...i thought only macs did that [06:05] wols_ no wai! link? [06:06] Starnestommy, is there a command i can run to see what runs at start up? (like msconfig in windows) [06:06] i just had some problems with my nvidia drivers soi ran envyng to get the latest drivers etc, how can i tell if the nvidia drivers are installed? (my xorg doesnt seem to like them) I can get in with some low res optioons etc but cant restore old known good configs [06:06] I dont have sendmail/postfix installed but I still show it as listening on port25 [06:06] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=source_linux&num=1 [06:06] SeaPhor, its worse [06:06] inferno, go to a windows box and try to telnet 192.168.1.3 81 and see if it connects [06:06] macd: sudo netstat -anp |grep 25 [06:06] wols_: and steam apps dont run. perhaps HL1 and TFC but not the newer ones that DO use source [06:06] if it does its listening [06:06] wols_, it says sendmail. [06:06] what's necessary to get the host key regenerated on a server? is apt-get install openssh (aka, doing what apt-get dist-upgrade would do) enough? [06:06] if it doesn't, its dropping [06:07] if it is listening, we've got apache issues [06:07] wow i must worship valve now; perhaps they can redeem themselves after having created Steam [06:07] I have 2 monitors. Display 1 is at 1680x1050, Display 2 is at 1360x768. Is there a way that I can have Display 2 pan up and down with my mouse movements instead of losing half of my screen into a deep abyis without being able to access any windows that have popped up down there? Or is there a way that I can lock down an entire work space at 1360x768 on Display 2 while having Display 1 having it's own 1680x1050 workspace? [06:07] scunizi, ty getin it atm :) [06:07] omar9417, oh ? open term and type top [06:07] wols_, nvm, the sendmail metapackage is uninstalled, but not the actuals. [06:07] etheredge, fun stuff [06:07] SeaPhor my prosecor is runing on 65% and 80% [06:07] SeaPhor: look in /etc/rc2.d/ and /etc/rcS.d/ [06:07] macd, apt has an option to remove packages that were automatically installed, I think that's what you want (wols_)) [06:07] omar9417: I told you to do something [06:08] ok === WhoNeedszz2 is now known as compiz [06:08] omar9417: run top and press "C" (uppercase C) there [06:08] compiz: /msg NickServ ghost WhoNeedszzz [06:08] No sound help here, huh? === compiz is now known as WhoNeedszz2 [06:08] cwillu, yeah thats called autoremove, but its cool, I just figured uninstalling the metapackage would grab it all, it just didnt. [06:08] which processes are shown [06:08] hey my favorite magazine! [06:08] I installed the extra repositories, and then restarted firefox; shouldn't flash thus be installed as per https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/web-browsing.html ?? I have installed all the repositories, and run sudo aptitude update. [06:08] well that and linux journal [06:08] ok [06:08] macd, yep; it's the same type of problem as the replacement init's had: how do you tell when you need to turn something off (or uninstall something)? [06:09] MassiveAttack: aptitude update doesn't install _anything_ === WhoNeedszz2 is now known as WhoNeedszzz [06:09] yay [06:09] thanks Starnestommy [06:09] omar9417, see what wols_ and Starnestommy just said? [06:09] omar9417: run gnome-system-monitor, on the processes tab, click the %CPU column until there is an ^ arrow, and see what programs are taking up the most processor [06:09] fuk u nub [06:09] !langauge Falling-Inferno [06:09] bitch ass hoe go away [06:09] Falling-Inferno, watch the language [06:09] wols_: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:09] whats with the harsh words [06:09] !coc > Falling-Inferno [06:09] Falling-Inferno: stop that real quick [06:10] omar9417, look in /etc/rc2.d/ and /etc/rcS.d/ [06:10] too late...i'm betting he was in a different room... [06:10] wols_, I understand, but that URL on the ubuntu help indicated that you just open the path to the repositories, update, and restart firefox, and it all works. [06:10] or thought he was [06:10] so is there a compiz-fusion channel? [06:10] Better yet.. running 2 displays of different resolution, is there a way I can maximize or 'full screen' an application on one screen only instead of an entire workspace? [06:10] buzz kill, i think i know what his problem was too [06:10] heh [06:10] !flash | MassiveAttack [06:10] MassiveAttack: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:10] WhoNeedszzz: #compiz-fusion [06:10] Starnestommy: doesn't exist [06:10] Starnestommy, Thank you! [06:10] wait [06:10] whoops [06:10] nvm [06:10] I TYPE C AND IT SAYS ITS AN UNKNOWN COMMAND [06:10] Falling-Inferno, were you talking ot me? [06:10] i just had some problems with my nvidia drivers soi ran envyng to get the latest drivers etc, how can i tell if the nvidia drivers are installed? (my xorg doesnt seem to like them) I can get in with some low res optioons etc but cant restore old known good configs [06:10] thanks again Starnestommy [06:11] adam_, he is gone [06:11] adam: we lost him [06:11] omar9417: type it while "top" runs [06:11] ? [06:11] no need for foul language [06:11] OK. I'm just trying to get sound working on my laptop. [06:11] what kind of laptop? [06:11] It's a toughbook CF-48. I'll get the sound chipset in a sec... [06:11] good thing you don't hear me when I can't get something working :D [06:11] adam_: and you still haven't described your problem [06:11] until you do no one will ever help you [06:11] Sorry about that. [06:11] By brother is a Retard. [06:12] MassiveAttack: you are mistaken, that url tells you to install flashplugin-nonfree, or ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:12] I got to remember to lock my PC. === ev0luti0nXtinct is now known as EvolutionXtinct [06:12] does latex on ubuntu support utf-8? [06:12] *doh* [06:12] anyway...were you able to telnet [06:12] No sound. That's the prob. I've compiled ALSA from source, and still no sound. AT all [06:12] All channels are unmuted. [06:12] Falling-Inferno: what is the iptables output I asked about? [06:12] ouch...compiled from source even [06:12] I've googled and searched the ubuntu help forums, but none of the recommended fixes have helped. [06:13] man...i *hate* sound [06:13] adam_: what does dmesg say sound related? [06:13] always kicks my hiney [06:13] I'm going to put my aplay -l output in paste bin...stand by... [06:13] But the output of Telnet. Was 404, Bad Request, But it gave me a output saying the ip was using Apache and ubuntu. and listed the versions [06:13] and we still don't know the chipset [06:13] Then it said Connection was lost. [06:13] good del, thats what we want [06:13] er deal [06:13] bazhang, are you around? [06:13] and that was to port 81 correct? [06:13] Waffle, hi [06:13] omar9417, have u found anything? [06:13] When running 2 displays, what would having a Separate X Screen do for me? [06:13] Falling-Inferno: last time: answer my questions please [06:13] DemonicButthead: 2nd X session [06:13] Wols: you got to give me the command agian. I got kicked -_- [06:14] SeaPhor no [06:14] Pastebin url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12901/ [06:14] Wols_: lol [06:14] he's able to telnet to port 81 wols...so iptables ain't kicking him [06:14] no dmesg...just no sound. at all. [06:14] bazhang, Last night you helped me with Grub a bit, giving me error 15, and it worked to get into Windows, the first part of my partitioned hard drive, but I still can't boot into Ubuntu... and now now of the commands i wrote down from last night work, do you have the link you sent? [06:14] adam_: lsmod [06:14] I'd be lost on what one session was.. nvm [06:14] Waffle, the grub link from the bot or other [06:15] DemonicButthead: I am not sure having a second X display would help you. You wouldnt have controls for it (the 1st x server would take input i believe) [06:15] omar9417, can you pastebin your /etc/rc2.d/ and /etc/rcS.d/ [06:15] bazhang, other I'm pretty sure, it was to a ubuntuforums.org post [06:15] lsmod output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12902/ [06:15] DemonicButthead: what type of video card do you have? [06:15] bazhang, I tried searching for it couldn't find it... dealt with Grub error 15, can't find the file [06:15] i already try [06:15] arialth: ok.. I'm running an EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT 512 DDR3 [06:16] Waffle, refresh my memory if you dont mind :) what was the original problem [06:16] arialth: PCIe bus [06:16] So...What can we do? [06:16] DemonicButthead: is that an nvidia card? [06:16] Arialth: yes [06:16] i just had some problems with my nvidia drivers soi ran envyng to get the latest drivers etc, how can i tell if the nvidia drivers are installed? (my xorg doesnt seem to like them) I can get in with some low res optioons etc but cant restore old known good configs [06:16] i miss nvidia....my laptop has ati :( [06:16] quick question what is the difference between the kubuntu dvd and the cd besides size? [06:16] DemonicButthead: cuz the nvidia settings for X has config for multiple displays. Have you tried using that [06:16] when i try to watch high quality flash videos, they play fine until i fullscreen them. then they are really choppy. they play fine fullscreen when i boot into windows so i know my gfx card can easily handle it. it happens whether compiz is enabled or disabled. any ideas?? [06:16] Is it the way i have stuff setup in the router? [06:17] alsamixer lists card as: Intel 82801DB-ICH4 and Chip as SigmaTel STAC9752,53 [06:17] lifewithryan: why would you buy an intel chip? ^^ [06:17] bazhang, I had 3 partitions on my main drive, one ntfs for windows, one ext3 for ubuntu, then a swap. I added another ext3 between the windows and ubuntu, and then grub started giving Error 15 [06:17] repos in the dvd (two at least ) christopher [06:17] ber1: This is a known bug with flash on linux. [06:17] inferno: i'm thinking that we have an apache config issue...can you paste the virtual host configs? [06:17] ty [06:17] Arialth: yeah.. it works.. I'm just trying to figure out what the option of having 2 Separate X Screens would accomplish.. that's all [06:17] what Directory would they be in? [06:17] umops_: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf* [06:17] Waffle, and now you can boot into windows whereas before it was none? [06:17] arialth: because nvidia cards work much better with linux and they're a bit more friendly to use geeks [06:17] hey berl install kde and the flash issue goes away idk why but it worked for me [06:17] bazhang, yeah [06:17] umops_: and /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:18] not kubuntu [06:18] kde [06:18] hi [06:18] oohhh, i see... [06:18] Waffle, error 15 grub, let me check the forums for a sec [06:18] so you haven't edited any of the apache files? [06:18] bazhang, can you help with cpu running 65%-80%? [06:18] bazhang, I tried following the threads advice... i'm assuming its because the ubuntu partition got moved over to make room for the new partition [06:18] christopher: i've wanted to try kde out for a while. i'll give it a go and see if i prefer ir. adam_ is there any known fix for it, yet? [06:18] Not really. [06:18] wow an entire repo on a dvd would be nice for when i have no internet [06:18] The only one i edited was the ports to change to 81. [06:18] So does anyone have any idea how to fix my sound? See above for output of lsmod and aplay. [06:18] lifewithryan: my point exactly. I wouldnt use an intel chip if they suddenly somehow became less than AMD or Nvidia [06:18] sudo apt-get install kde [06:18] wols_, ok is /var/log/Xorg.0.log just a log of attempted xorg.cnf loadings? [06:19] Hey does anyone know why my firefox browser spontaneously shuts down? [06:19] SeaPhor, hang on a sec [06:19] I'm trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. I'm getting the following error: "Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server." How can I fix this? [06:19] kde ftw [06:19] is faster than gnome [06:19] Xpistos: ff3b5 has been known for several questions in stability [06:19] so which file was that exaclty do you remeber? [06:19] well i guess its not full compatible with my laptop [06:19] gtk apps run better too [06:19] DemonicButthead: with 2 x servers you wouldnt be able to share windows between the 2 screens for a start [06:19] It was Ports.conf [06:19] head warning kde on debian based distros can be flaky tho [06:19] In /ect/apache2/ [06:20] i see that now. [06:20] just checking a few things [06:20] waffle you got the livecd? you may need to reinstall grub-->here is a link (from earlier version but should still work fine) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43591 [06:20] Alright does anyone know of a lets say wikipedia search from the desktop of ubuntu? [06:20] waffle boot up in the live cd and follow those instructions [06:20] christopher: lol are you kidding? KDE is almost like bloatware. Every time i have used it, it has taken twice as long to setup and get running properly. Does it actually work better in 8,04? [06:20] umops_: it's the log of your X server [06:20] Arialth: meh..wth.. I'll give it a try and see how far I get before I rip the rest of my hair out [06:20] i turnd off my compiz 3d setting and the prosecor is still the same [06:20] i'm thinking we need to do some virtual host stuff [06:20] upgrading to the hardon woot [06:20] omar9417: answer my questions [06:20] omar9417, dont give up just yet, i'm still working on it and i dont give up easy [06:20] bazhang, thanks, im on the livecd now. [06:21] DemonicButthead: now that's the linux spirit! [06:21] SeaPhor, what does top say is the major cpu eater? compiz, firefox or what [06:21] so probably better to go with my ff2 [06:21] i need help with my wireless adapter [06:21] i have found it to run really smooth [06:21] 384 meg ram [06:21] 1.2 ghz proc [06:21] na i wont give up [06:21] so you have some HTML in /var/www ? [06:21] tell me WOLS [06:21] geese i have 2 GB ram 2.2 ghz dualcore and KDE always ran slow for me (like, windows speed!) [06:21] goodnight. [06:21] !ot | christopher please chat in offtopic [06:21] christopher please chat in offtopic: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:21] Is there another channel that I might have better luck getting sound help in? [06:21] when you made the ports change did you restart apache? [06:21] Linux.. helping make millions bald since Linus Torevalds? meh [06:21] idk i just never had luck with gnome and kde always worked better and i know it better so it is my opinion as well but i have found it to preform better for me [06:21] adam_, #alsa though it is much slower there [06:21] etheredge: I think the deskbar applet can do it, I never tried since I always have an FF window open... [06:22] Just my Index file that says IT WORKS! in it. and yes i restarted when I changed the ports. [06:22] ok ty sorry [06:22] it is a Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [06:22] wols ? [06:22] is there any sane way to get a list of current connections? netstat shows them, but it truncates the ipv6 addresses, which makes it useless :( === yannick_ is now known as ylynfatt [06:22] hello, cannot get applets to work in hardy firefox 3 beta? applet not initialized is all i get, any suggestions? [06:22] shux... [06:22] thinking [06:22] omar9417: run top and press "C" in there [06:22] I'm trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. I'm getting the following error: "Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server." How can I fix this? [06:22] Thanks. I'll stay on here, and open that channel in another tab. Still hoping somebody here can help. [06:22] ok [06:22] ifireball, yeah hrm ill check it out. im just bein lazy heh [06:22] Prez00: install a jre? [06:22] ifireball, no applet to the panel can do it [06:22] wols_: gcj is installed [06:23] Answer to all IT questions: Pull plug and walk away from Computer/Server/Printer/Fax/Coffee Maker/Microwave [06:23] is there a way to mount my iso under /cdrom in ubuntu? [06:23] wols_: I see gjc plugin in firefox.. [06:23] bazhang, its for omar9417 , i'm trying to find why video is bad and had them look at system resources and discovered cpu usage very high [06:23] wols, ok i did [06:23] Prez00: that is not what I asked. gcj is no browser plugin [06:23] omar9417: which processes use most CPU then? [06:23] so then in your /etc/apace2/sites-enabled directory there should be at least one file, what do you have in there? [06:23] hi all [06:23] without burning the iso to a cd [06:23] DemonicButthead, better to use just the single screen cloned; no real advantage to seperate X imo [06:23] so i got a 16 gb sdhc card that used to work great, in 8.04, but now when i plug it in, only a handful of folders are shown and its a "read-only file system". all the information on the volume size seem to be correct but i cannot see all the data on it! windows recognizes it fine. anyhelp? [06:23] m0u5e: yes just mount the file [06:24] DemonicButthead: Install linux on it; it will run twice as fast (http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/201/Installation+Anxiety) [06:24] m0u5e, what iso? vlc can do that [06:24] I need help with my wireless - I set up the drivers successfully, I see a network to connect to and it connects fine, but I can't access the net [06:24] I need to make dhcp work with it [06:24] ezzieyguywuf: "mount" [06:24] i have 4 500GB disks in my computer, im going to have software raid0 > encryption > LVM for home root and swap, im thinking, should boot just be sitting on the first drive, or should i put /boot in a very small raid1 array? [06:24] hi, i can't conect my laptop to vpn [06:24] wols_: the drive is mounted [06:24] Xgl [06:24] :s [06:24] What is the function of the Kconfig files? [06:24] bingoer: output of ifconfig, iwconfig, route and cat /etc/resolv.conf [06:24] etheredge: deskbar has an option to search the web VIA your FF search engines, just go and install a Wikipedia search extension for FF and enable the option in deskbar [06:24] omar9417: what videocard do you have? [06:25] anyone else? [06:25] wols ATI 200 m [06:25] Bazhang: If I'm running dis-similar resolutions on 2 montiors.. can I get the second monitor to lock an app down within that window or pan around so I can get full use of my screen? [06:25] Ethernet works [06:25] ezzieyguywuf: it's not what I asked [06:25] SeaPhor, seems w-ols is on the case :) [06:25] wols_: icedtea is what the plugin says.. [06:25] omar9417, please make sure you use the persons full nick when talking to them [06:25] wols_, cool, so the contents of my xorg.conf shouldnt matter for this log? its just i ran a reconfigure-phigh so icould actually login to the gui [06:25] bazhang, now when i try find /boot/grub/stage1 it returns error 15: file not found... this is different from last night... should I just delete the old partition and recreate everything using gparted? I used partition magic to make the whole thing that screwed it up [06:25] ok [06:25] DemonicButthead, could you clarify? you mean with wine or what [06:25] but Wireless won't work [06:25] wols_: i'm sorry, i wasn't aware that you had asked anything. what was your question? [06:25] i can'tc conect my laptop to one vpn [06:25] Bazhang: When I maximize a window right now.. it drags across 2 screens.. completely worthless :P [06:25] bazhang, :-) [06:26] ezzieyguywuf: output of "mount" [06:26] gotcha [06:26] asd asd [06:26] omar9417: do you REALLY need compiz? [06:26] Bazhang: reading half a web page on one screen and half on another is annoying.. wondering if there was a way I can just maximize a window to a single display [06:26] wols something called Xgl is using 20% of my process [06:26] hello [06:26] Xgl is a driver of sorts needed for compiz on your videocard [06:27] it's a horrible hack which is why it uses 20% CPU constantly in your case [06:27] I'm trying to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy. I'm getting the following error: "Authenticating the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server." How can I fix this? [06:27] i have no audio on my video playback nothing is muted or turned down low. any ideas? [06:27] wols_, no i dnt need it is that the problem [06:27] Waffle, you did sudo grub first [06:27] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12903/ [06:27] mssever, switch repos [06:27] omar9417: don't load Xgl and disable compiz then [06:27] bazhang, no I did not... sorry about that, probably the reason [06:27] bazhang: to what? I'm using the official repo. [06:27] wols, what is Xgl [06:28] Yes There is one file in Sites-Available its named Default. [06:28] !xgl [06:28] 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 [06:28] you need ultimatebootcd to fix grub [06:28] omar9417: a driver your 3D desktop effects [06:28] omar9417: a driver your 3D desktop effects need for displaying [06:28] w4r1a0k: no [06:28] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12904/ [06:28] DemonicButthead, ah I see what you mean-->check out monitor resolution settings see if you can pull the two screens apart [06:29] bingoer: I asked about 3 other things too [06:29] wols_:did you get my pastebin? [06:29] wols_: yes, resolv.conf is empty [06:29] ezzieyguywuf: I did and it looks alright. you could fsck the drive [06:29] wols_ and route ... has nothing new.. but i'll paste it [06:29] or use the ubuntu cd [06:29] wols, i disable it but its still running on my system monitor [06:29] wols_: will that erase my data? [06:29] wols_, Ty, and omar9417 may need some step thru instruction [06:29] I have a 3dfx voodoo 3000, And my resolution is 800x600.How do I get a higher one? [06:30] bazhang: I can pull them apart.. there's really not much I can do about what I want.. I'll deal with it :) thanks bud [06:30] mssever, for security or what-->you can try again later or try another mirror or just sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade and choose to install without authentication [06:30] okay inferno, paste that for me [06:30] omar9417: xgl is started from init.d somewhere IIRC. find /etc -name xgl [06:30] DemonicButthead, :) [06:30] Seaphor, yes i do i guess i need ubuntu for dommies [06:30] gus: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [06:31] what dose that do? [06:31] SeaPhor: I don't remember where xgl is started. do you? [06:31] omar9417, no worries, we have all been there [06:31] gus: read the docs [06:31] wols_: once again, http://paste.ubuntu.com/12907/ [06:31] sudo: any ideas? [06:31] bingoer: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces [06:32] wols_, i have no idea, you know more than i do here [06:32] I know this sounds bad... but I'm new at this [06:32] when i unmaximize firefox it shrinks to just a few pixels of its full size, so that its almost exactly the same size. i always shrink it manually but it never keeps my size preference. is there a way i can make it "remember" to unmaximize to a smaller (and actually useful) size? [06:32] omar9417: run "dpkg -l |grep -i xgl" and pastebin the result [06:32] bazhang: It appears that update-manager won't upgrade with authentication problems. When I install anything, I'm getting those errors, which I ignore. I don't know how to solve authentication problems. I'll try switching to the us mirror, but I don't know the authentication details for that mirror, either. [06:33] wols, ok [06:33] wols_, looking... [06:33] mssever, do it from the terminal [06:33] ber1: exit all firefox, run firefox -safe-mode and check reset all preferences [06:33] mssever: apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade and show us the results [06:33] wols_: here's the /etc/network/interfaceS: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12908/ [06:33] has any had any luck withh envyng for installing nvidia drivers? or heard any bad stories etc? [06:34] umops_, success mostly [06:34] bingoer: iwconfig output [06:34] wols_: ahem, can you tell me all the required files, I'm copying these using a thumb drive manually :) [06:34] bingoer: you get a IP via DHCP it seems but you don't get a defaultroute and no DNS server. both things are necessary to have a network connection [06:34] umops what card [06:34] lifewithryan: did you get that?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:35] umops_, envyng-gtk may have the drivers for that; they just came out of beta-->if not now then very soon [06:36] how do i mount an .iso cd image directly to my /cdrom [06:36] wols, ii xserver-xgl 1:1.1.99.1~git20080115-0ubuntu1 GL-based X server [06:36] wols_, looking... do a locate xgl maybe you can make more sense of it than i [06:36] bazhang, yeah it was working last night and a did some updates and it'snow very broken [06:36] wols_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12909/ [06:36] m0u5e, what iso [06:36] omar9417: sudo apt-gte purge xserver-xgl [06:36] ezzieyguywuf: thanks! worked like a charm [06:36] a eeexubuntu iso :D [06:36] you were already answered m0u5e [06:36] wols_: fsck doesn't seem to like my drive. i'm running "fsck /media/disk" . is that wrong? [06:36] hi can anyone help me with scp? [06:36] !anyone | shubuntu [06:36] shubuntu: 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? [06:37] ber1: no prob :-D [06:37] wols_: is it of any use to say that it works on windows ... I can get the default gateway from there, it is a 192.168.x.x series [06:37] m0u5e, what are you trying to do please clarify [06:37] bingoer: I don't see a "associated" there [06:37] babolat: okay thx i got it :D [06:37] scp right? [06:37] wols, command not found [06:37] m0u5e: ;) [06:37] bingoer: so I'd say you don't have a connection to your AP [06:37] wols_, nice! TY [06:37] wols_: what does associated mean ? [06:37] bazhang: i wanted to mount a cd image directly to /cdrom so i didn't have to burn it to use it [06:37] omar9417: sudo apt-get purge xserver-xgl [06:37] omar9417: my bad [06:38] m0u5e, mount it on a partition instead [06:38] omar9417: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove xserver-xgl [06:38] scp /home/user/Desktop/file.ext id@site.ext:~/Desktop [06:38] it doesn't work [06:38] wols, ok [06:38] bazhang: wols_ Here's the result of the command you asked for: http://dpaste.com/50989/ It doesn't really accomplish much since the only updates shown are for Gutsy, not Hardy. [06:38] bazhang: and how would I do that? [06:39] shubuntu, im not sure you want to use a ~ in such a case. try the full path. (to eliminate any issues with ~) [06:39] mssever: you still have to upgrade to lastest gutsy [06:39] well the first part is actually the problem not the second [06:39] mssever: THEN you change your sources.list to hardy and do the same again (or use upgrade manager) [06:39] so i got a 16 gb sdhc card that used to work great, in 8.04, but now when i plug it in, only a handful of folders are shown and its a "read-only file system". all the information on the volume size seem to be correct but i cannot see all the data on it! windows recognizes it fine. anyhelp?

[06:40] wols_: Why should I update Gutsy? That just wastes my extremely limited bandwidth for no reason. [06:40] ezzieyguywuf: have you fscked it? [06:40] h1 [06:40] yeah [06:40] i'm replacing my name with user [06:40] mssever: to have a defined state of install to upgrade [06:40] shubuntu, if the files not there.. then its not there. :) double check that it is there. [06:41] i finally finished my munin libvirt plugin. [06:41] wols_ : yea fsck didn't do anything. said somethin about "unable to resolve" [06:41] mssever: deity knows when you last did an update [06:41] it's on my desktop [06:41] wols, should i do a restart [06:41] mssever, because we will have to fix it when it breaks-->saves us time [06:41] ezzieyguywuf: full error please (inkl. the commandline you used) [06:41] wols_ fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=6ca601d3-ec79-4528-9a3e-495c64c2c56d' [06:41] i'm thining there should be something i have to put before /home [06:41] anyone successfully using tor/privoxy in hardy? [06:41] wols_: I updated recently. I think we're solving the wrong problem here. [06:41] wols_: any ideas then ? [06:41] omar9417: is xgl still running (you can check with "top" and "C") [06:41] shubuntu, see if you can just access the file with cat, or somthing else. be sure filename/case is right. [06:41] mssever: you didn't as your pastebin shows [06:42] i can browse to that folder with cp [06:42] mssever, you can listen to advice; if you have a better way (in your mind) then go for it [06:42] bingoer: yes, check your logs, make sure you associate with the AP. right now your aren't [06:42] so yes the file is on the desktop [06:42] shubuntu, i always have to check scp example commands - i rarely use scp. [06:42] bingoer: probably a driver problem. what wlan chip? [06:42] wols_ yes its runing [06:42] wols_ i unmounted the drive and ran "fsck -M" and thats the error i got [06:42] wols_: I deliberately skipped some large packages as I'd likely just have to re-download them for the upgrade [06:42] wols_: broadcom 4310 [06:42] well i'm sshing to my uni id [06:42] i need to submit something [06:42] wols_ installed via ndiswrapper [06:42] and i've finished it [06:43] now i need to copy it onto my desktop there to submit [06:43] mssever: -M is no fsck option [06:43] i need help with my wireless adapter [06:43] !broadcom [06:43] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [06:43] w4r1a0k, what chipset [06:43] wols_ do u think i should re-install ubuntu [06:43] bingoer: boradcom should be supported without ndiswrapper by now. check your dmesg and your syslog [06:43] omar9417: no [06:43] shubuntu, you could ssh to the remote machine, then scp it from there :) i guess. [06:43] wols_: I just need to make update manager stop complaining about authentication. That's all. [06:43] it is a Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [06:43] i've done it [06:43] i've sshed [06:43] Hello, I need some help, how do I empty the trashbin? there's no shortcut for it in the menus [06:43] wols_: well, it wouldn't even scan the network without ndiswrapper :( [06:43] mssever: then do it. have fun. goodbye [06:44] anyone successfully using tor/privoxy in ubuntu hardy?

[06:44] crille: do you know how? [06:44] shubuntu, you could try the 'sshfs' fuse tool also. It makes the process more transparent. [06:44] wols_ : thats from man fsck [06:44] ezzieyguywuf: tell it the exact device name [06:44] babolat: no mate, I dont [06:44] and make sure the thing is unmounted of course [06:44] or read only [06:44] wols_: That was my question. How do I make it stop complaining? none of the outstanding updates have anything to do with this. [06:45] ok, but that just gives a longer error. by exact drive name, you mean /media/disk? [06:45] babolat: I mean, I know how to make a launcher, but I dont know what command to use [06:45] crille: ok. on the desktop, right click and create launcher.. Type "Location" [06:45] how do you close an open ssh? [06:45] i have 4 500GB disks in my computer, im going to have software raid0 > encryption > LVM for home root and swap, im thinking, should boot just be sitting on the first drive, or should i put /boot in a very small raid1 array? [06:45] mssever: and you are the expert to know that? if so, great [06:45] mssever: no you can either do what I tell you or stop talking to me. please [06:45] crille: then in Location, key in "trash:///" without the quotes [06:45] shubuntu: kill [06:45] wols_ : ok, but that just gives a longer error. by exact drive name, you mean /media/disk? [06:45] mssever, please listen to the advice offered [06:46] babolat: k, is that all? [06:46] hello [06:46] wols_: openoffice, firefox, cups have nothing to do with update-manager [06:46] ezzieyguywuf: ah. not UUID, use the /dev [06:46] crille: yep.. try it now and see if it works [06:46] !wifi | w4r1a0k [06:46] w4r1a0k: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:46] how do I clear my tmp directories? my hd is limited... is there a way for me to set it to clear after a reboot? [06:46] wols_: well, the logs don't saw anything apart from 'enabling_interface' [06:46] ezzieyguywuf: fsck doesn't know UUIDs. it's sdb1 I think from your mount output [06:46] bazhang, I tried it again, still no go. I was planning on installing 8.04 along side my 7.10 partition, that's what started this whole thing... think it would work if I just go with the install? If i can't acces 7.04 its no big loss, I was just going to keep it around for a while to make sure I got all my data off it [06:47] wols_ : ah ok. how do i know which sdb it is? [06:47] anyone here with a wireless broadcom 43xx that's working on hardy heron ? [06:47] ezzieyguywuf: dmesg, mount, etc [06:47] babolat: No such file or directory [06:47] crille: it will also work if you dragged the launcher to your panel.. just in case, like me, your Trans icon in the panel mysteriously disappeared [06:47] I [06:47] ezzieyguywuf: fdisk -l [06:47] Waffle, that would be the last resort; is the mbr on a separate disk? [06:47] you sure you have trash:/// as the Location? [06:47] thank you [06:47] bazhang, no, seperate partition... the one that works [06:48] babolat: trash:/// yes sir [06:48] does anyone know if i can use wine to run programs that are already installed on a mounted NTFS partition? [06:48] wols_: that returned no output (?) [06:48] Waffle, and sudo grub returns nothing? [06:48] okay. I have ubnutu 8.05,, ad I downloaded song bird a it's not working [06:48] crille: and the Launcher Type is "Location" right? [06:48] Bingoer: Works for me , did you enable you're restricted hardware? [06:48] What is the function or role of the Kconfig files? [06:48] gus what is the exact error you are getting-->precise details please [06:49] hmm, no, "command" [06:49] http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?ProductID=1639&DwnldID=14303&lang=por [06:49] crille: it needs to be "location" [06:49] bazhang, sudo grub then find /boot/grub/stage1 returned (hd0,5) [06:49] babolat: oh, sorry, didnt see that I could change that ;) [06:49] no it wont start [06:49] dipievoli: well, it never showed anything in that list. 'no proprietary drivers are in use on this system' [06:49] bazhang, but if (hd0,5) lines up with the partitions in gparted, then it should be hd0,6 [06:50] babolat: there, it works now, thanks a ot for the help mate [06:50] How do you rename a partition? [06:50] crille: ;) [06:50] is gtk+ same thing as gtk2? [06:50] ezzieyguywuf: which command? [06:50] Chrysalis, GTK+ 2.0 [06:51] dopievoli: well, it never showed anything in that list.

[06:55] i have 4 500GB disks in my computer, im going to have software raid0 > encryption > LVM for home root and swap, im thinking, should boot just be sitting on the first drive, or should i put /boot in a very small raid1 array? [06:55] berl limitation of flash [06:55] ber1: not if you use the proper driver for your videocard. if you use vesa it might happen. but flash is always a shitty CPU hog [06:55] jscinoz, you seen the raid links for ubuntu?

Version 0.9-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 84 kB [07:55] That link will tell me how to install things from tar.bz archives? [07:55] Chapai: what can I do? [07:56] matthew, aye [07:56] how can i detect and install my nvidia 8400m gs graphic card for hardy [07:56] matthew: if said tar.bz2 is source code, yes. [07:56] jilalxp2, Then the steps would be to start in single user mode, choose to go to a recovery shell, run "mv /etc/init.d/powernowd /etc/init.d/powernowd-banned", then run "sudo init 1" and choose to continue booting [07:56] bye [07:57] RudyValencia: at a terminal "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and copy/paste the output ? [07:57] Here, is what I am trying to install..If anyone could help me, like step by step like I had before, would greatly appreciate it.. [07:57] http://repository.rigsofrods.com/ [07:57] matthew, and we gave you a link on how to compile it [07:58] have the net splits finished yet? [07:58] http://pastebin.com/f4e1c102b [07:58] drah, here [07:58] I have to compile it to install it ? [07:58] yes [07:58] matthew, so it would seem [07:59] bazhang: I am new to Linux, Sorry, "so it would seem"..Sorry I do not know as much as you may. [07:59] my 'places' menu collapsted my favorite places because i guess i have more than it wants to show in one list, but theres plenty of room. can i make it show them all? [07:59] JDSBlueDevl: try renaming the folder /home/jdsbluedevl/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal to /home/jdsbluedevl/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal.old [07:59] matthew, have you perused the link yet? [07:59] matthew: http://wiki.rigsofrods.com/index.php?title=Installation_Guide#Ubuntu.2FDebian [07:59] its working but I can't see anything [07:59] I'll just leave this window open, and read those links [07:59] k [08:00] matthew: Don't compile, read the link drash gave first. [08:00] Jordan_U it went into the gui install, ty so much for the help [08:00] Hey I got a dell inspiron 1405 and i can't get the media card reader working. Any ideas? [08:00] whats the code to open my sources list through terminal? [08:00] Jordan_U was almost about to give up and back to windows =) [08:00] My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 8200 [08:00] that's using the mv command, right? [08:00] matthew: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [08:00] jilalxp2, np :) [08:01] h! [08:01] JDSBlueDevl: probably be better if you just renamed it through nautilus [08:01] the one that makes it open in another window where i can edit it? [08:01] drash: http://pastebin.com/f4e1c102b <- my xorg.conf [08:01] RudyValencia: ok, i'll check [08:01] matthew: that one makes it open in the current window, so you can edit it. [08:01] webcams anyone? [08:02] matthew, http://wiki.rigsofrods.com/index.php?title=Installation_Guide#Ubuntu.2FDebian ( unless I am misunderstanding what app you are trying to install ) [08:02] !webcam | egroeg [08:02] egroeg: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [08:02] Ziroday: ok, did that. What do I do next? [08:02] having trouble getting it to work (built i)n [08:02] What package are the non-free 3d intel drivers in? [08:02] how do i save it then? [08:02] cmerk: there are no non-free intel drivers. [08:03] What is the function or role of the Kconfig files? [08:03] how can i change the default program associated with avis? [08:03] matthew: ctrl-O and ctrl-X to quit [08:03] JDSBlueDevl: close all your gnome-terminal windows and reopen one as a normal use [08:03] JDSBlueDevl: should be all better [08:03] it didn't work [08:03] yeah read that got the sony drivers modprobe ect... [08:04] hey, is there any idea when Firefox 3 RC1 will be sent to the repos? [08:04] and no new gnome-terminal directory wad created [08:04] shows up in lsusb [08:04] Condoulo, very shortly [08:04] bazhang, Ok, just wondering. [08:04] I have a sata disk ... but it is slow, acn someone point me to a gudie for optimizing my hard disk ? [08:04] bazhang: will beta 5 be automatically asked to update to rc1? [08:04] babola1, aye [08:05] JDSBlueDevl: only idea is maybe copy across the root gnome-terminal folder [08:05] what directory might that be in? [08:06] b/c this problem is not just in terminal, but other GNOME apps like gnome-system-monitor [08:06] wuxia: Man hdparm [08:06] which doesn't have a directory in .gconf/apps [08:06] JDSBlueDevl: ah, well thats not so good [08:07] y? [08:07] ... [08:07] how do i exit the x server [08:07] JDSBlueDevl: means I dunno [08:07] RudyValencia: Can't spot anything out of the ordinary sorry .. [08:07] oh [08:07] zubu: ctrl+alt+backspace [08:07] hm, I don't know what to do then [08:07] how do i get back? [08:07] which means I have to rely on people who are probably never going to look at my posts on the forums [08:07] great [08:07] startx [08:07] RudyValencia, this is gutsy or hardy [08:07] thanx anyways [08:07] JDSBlueDevl: could be some config option under gconf, but would be really really hard to find [08:07] hardy [08:07] what card RudyValencia [08:08] bazhang: nvidia geforce4 mx 400 go (laptop chipset) [08:08] crazy. I terminal-entered sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager and it installed though doesn't appear anywhere in my menu systems. [08:08] RudyValencia, and what driver you using nv or other [08:08] bazhang: if it helps, my laptop is a dell inspiron 8200 [08:08] I'm trying to install the one the drivers manager suggests [08:08] my sound is broken and when i go into volume control there are no controls at all, what can i do from here? [08:08] rudyvalencia: are you also having problem with the graphics card after upgrading to hardy? [08:09] Yeah [08:09] zubu: I'm not upgrading, this is a new install [08:09] does it show a low graphics mode error? [08:09] RudyValencia, you may wish to try envyng-gtk; boot in safe mode then run it from apps-->system tools [08:09] can you run firefox 2 and three @ the same time? [08:09] egroeg, at the same moment? or just have both installed [08:09] hello all [08:09] but I'm not getting a display [08:10] both installed [08:10] I can't see anything on the screen [08:10] RudyValencia, boot in safe mode [08:10] I've got a problem with my display [08:10] any one can help? [08:10] egroeg, better to get swiftfox [08:10] here's the thread: [08:10] bazhang: can you please read this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12778/ [08:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=798296 [08:10] i also have the same problem [08:10] !elaborate | perhamlinux [08:10] perhamlinux: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

[08:11] which do I pick? [08:11] perhamlinux, please briefly describe here [08:11] ibazhang: have installed envyNG and installed the graphics card but it show s the same old error after reboot!! [08:11] hi guys, just wondering if any1 can help me with a gcc issue im having ? :| [08:11] resume, dpkg, root, or xfix? [08:11] bazhang: have installed envyNG and installed the graphics card but it show s the same old error after reboot! [08:11] Raineer, not sure what that is; what do the forums say?

[08:16] perhamlinux, a bit busy at the moment [08:16] hi everybody [08:16] bazhang no problem, ;) [08:16] zubu, did it install drivers [08:16] bazhang yes [08:17] I installed a new sata drive (sdb1) and it's mounted. However I cannot create new folders within the GUI, I have to use "sudo mkdir [folder name]" can someone please help me [08:17] zubu how long did that take [08:17] bazhang not much ! compiz is not running. [08:17] i have a little question. Why do we need root privilege to mount an ISO image? Like using sudo mount ...blah... [08:17] hello people is this a relatively good place for help [08:17] zubu ten seconds, two minutes how long [08:18] ask and find out broha ;) [08:18] broha define relatively :) [08:18] broha , whay not? [08:18] benben: because the mount and umount commands and system calls are limited to root for security reasons [08:18] oh thanks Starnestommy [08:19] it says something about a crash report [08:19] but is there a way to mount ISO images anyway without root privilege? [08:19] and there's an error in the console after selecting to install the driver [08:19] benben, movie isos sure [08:19] bazhang one minute [08:19] benben, the fuseiso tool, and one or 2 other fuse tools can do that. [08:19] Anyone here knowledgeable with permissions and hard drives [08:19] !info fuseiso [08:19] fuseiso (source: fuseiso): FUSE module to mount ISO filesystem images. In component universe, is optional. Version 20070708-1 (hardy), package size 21 kB, installed size 92 kB [08:19] any1 able to help me figure out why i get mass errors when compiling .c using gcc? no matter what i compile it throws up declaration errors :| [08:19] zubu run it again after installing envyng-core [08:19] it asks me for a restart but that doesnt solve the problem [08:19] ok [08:20] ok i doesnt have a wireless option and my computer detects the hardware but wont use it all drivers are installed and ive been in evry forum imaginable but they take too long to respond [08:20] Dr_willis: ic, thanks for the tip I'll research into it [08:20] also tried ndiswrapper [08:20] broha, What chipset? [08:20] I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 from the desktop DVD. Upon booting I am presented with a "grub>" prompt. What do I do? Ideas? suggestions anyone? [08:20] benben, you need 'root' to mount filesystems. :) fuse works as a 'file sustems in user space' tool to let users have limited mount abilieis. [08:20] bazhang: o installed 0 upgarded 0 to remove. [08:20] broha open terminal and type lspci and tell us (dont paste long output) the chipset [08:21] bazhang: it says something about a crash report and there's an error in the console after selecting to install the driver [08:21] bazhang: it says 0 installed 0 upgarded 0 to remove. [08:21] zubu sudo apt-get install envyng-core [08:21] RudyValencia, try running it again after pastebinning the crash report [08:22] E: Couldn't find package rigsofrods . Where must I put it so that it will install apt-get install [08:22] paste.ubuntu.com RudyValencia not here [08:22] i did that but it shows 0 installed 0 upgarded 0 to remove. [08:22] bazhang : i did that but it shows 0 installed 0 upgarded 0 to remove. [08:22] zubu, then run the tool again [08:22] ok [08:22] from hdparm -Tt /dev/sda: Timing buffered disk reads: 116 MB in 3.01 seconds = 38.59 MB/sec <-- does that look normal for a sata disk or should I optimize it ? [08:23] belkin f5d8073 eternal and atheros ar242x internal [08:23] Dr_willis, ya thanks. But really it shouldn't require root anyway....i've seen Mac OS X ppl going straight into ISO images as if it's just a folder, without being prompted for root password [08:23] I have compiz installed. I have emerald installed. Compiz isn't using Emerald, how do I make it? [08:23] *external [08:23] Anyone good here with virtualbox? I can't find much help on #vbox. === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia [08:24] broha how many entries in ifconfig 2 or 3 (dont paste long output here) [08:24] bazhang: should i restart.but that didnt solve the problem earlier. [08:24] what is XAMBOT [08:24] Where do I place the RoR-linux-0.35.tar.bz2 file so that i can type like apt-get install and it works ? [08:24] 2 [08:24] matthew, did you read the second link? [08:25] Is it true that any ext2/3 filesystems created with >= 1.3.9 e2fsprogs support online resizing? [08:25] bazhang: the wikipedia one? [08:25] matthew, all of the links actually [08:25] bazhang: I am new, I can't make sense of it, I was hoping someone could explain to me a little [08:25] bazhang: ye [08:25] bazhang: yes [08:25] benben, you are missinderstanding the linux fundamentals.. Yes it should require root. :) mounting a 'iso' is the same as mounting any other filesystem. l what you are seeing are 'user front ends' to the iso stuff much like the isofuse tools are doing. [08:25] matthew, If you want to install it via apt-get then simply add the repository with System -> Administration -> Software Sources [08:26] caesa1: open 'Advanced Desktop Effects Settings' and in the 'Window Decoration' tab key in 'emerald' (and make sure that module is activated) [08:26] bazhang: I can't copy the information from EnvyNG to paste [08:26] it won't let me [08:26] matthew, this is not the place for that; you cant put that tar.gz into an apt-get command--better to search for a deb that someone has compiled for you-->not an easy task for a new user [08:26] benben if you dont need to have filesystem like access to it, you can just open an ISO with file-roller :P [08:26] hi! I succesfully installed the current ubuntu version. now it says for the frequenz 60Hz for my laptop. is it ok or should I try to change it to a higher value? [08:26] i have a very big problem [08:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12936/ [08:27] DevinHester, that is fine [08:27] How can I enable direct rendering on my Intel 945GM? [08:27] bazhang: thanks [08:27] RudyValencia, you ran it again and got the same error [08:27] I don't think there is any .deb files for this already compiled [08:27] bazhang: yes [08:27] it looks ok, but I'm used to a higher value on my desktop pcs :-/ <- noob ^^ [08:27] matthew, http://wiki.rigsofrods.com/index.php?title=Installation_Guide#Ubuntu.2FDebian seems to be a repository for it [08:28] matthew, then learn about compiling by reading some tutorials; it is not a quick fix sort of thing [08:28] matthew, Again, unless you are not trying to install rigs of rods [08:28] hm, my laptop may not work with Ubuntu, so I'll just put windows back on it [08:28] Dr_willis, an ISO image is not exactly a device like /dev/sdb1 or so. I see mounting and ISO image merely as a way to access its contents. If the content is owned by me, I shall be able to access it, right? [08:28] matthew, being new is not an excuse for not reading carefully [08:29] guys [08:29] huge problem [08:29] bazhang: should i restart.but that didnt solve the problem earlier. [08:29] benben, from the kernels point of view. its a 'filesystem' the fact its not a physical device is not imporntant. [08:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/12938/ some how adobe air installer is getting root without password, read paste for more info [08:29] zubu, you ran it again? removed and then reinstalled the drivers? [08:29] Is anyone familiar with Advanced desktop effects settings in 8.04? I'm trying to solve a flicker issue in 3d applications without disabling compiz. I understand there's some way to solve the problem through the advanced config? [08:30] benben, you can have files that contain other filesystems as well. or you can have virtual filesystems on virtual devices. :) [08:30] drash: I'm close but not quite there. I've keyed in "emerald" where it says "command" is that right? It isn't doing anything when I turn the module on and off [08:30] RudyValencia, you just hit install again, or removed first [08:30] benben, the whole goal of the 'fuse' tools was to allow user controll of filesystem type actions. [08:30] Dr_willis, true [08:30] benben, If you just wan to get at an iso's contents easily right click it and open with Archive Manager [08:30] Gimme a minute, I think I may have gotten something to work here... [08:30] bazhang: ididnt remove it.the installer envyng did it by itself! [08:30] zubu you click install or remove [08:30] Linux is very big on keeping 'user' things very far from 'system' type things. :) [08:31] bazhang: install [08:31] zubu click remove [08:31] bazhang: uninstall? [08:31] caesa1: ok, so far so good, start compiz again and try "emerald --replace" [08:31] Who can help me with my huge problem --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12936/ [08:31] zubu you see the button that says remove? click it [08:32] what does this mean when i try and copy a file into a directory? cp: omitting directory `/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/' [08:32] bazhang: should i restart now after uninstaling? [08:32] drash: k [08:32] mattryan: uncheck "Unredirect fullscreen windows" in "General Options" and "Support legacy fullscreen" in the plugin "Workaround" [08:32] maybe that'll help [08:32] bazhang: its in application > system tool [08:32] zubu you already removed? in two seconds? [08:32] lyzium: what is the command that you're running? [08:32] howdy, is it worthwhile to install the latest release amd64 onto a machine with core2duo? [08:32] bazhang:yes [08:32] drash: huzzah! I'm up and running. Let's hope it sticks. [08:32] mattryan, As far as I understand it there is no way to solve the flickering problem, it's a problem with AIGLX rather than compiz ( though I may be wrong ). I have hacked together a script which disables for the duration of a command ( like a 3D application ) then re-enables it when it finishes and used it in all the launchers for 3D apps, it's not great but it works :( [08:33] zubu that is not possible [08:33] drash: thank you very much [08:33] does clamav detect windows viruses? [08:33] Jordan_U, I am aware of the archive manager's ability to open ISO files. But what i want to do is to have my programs to process the ISO contents. [08:33] Swiftfoxer, are there any other kind :) [08:33] Who can help me with my huge problem --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/12936/ === danny is now known as dannyobrien [08:33] Jordan_U, obviously the easiest way to do so is to lay it out just like a normal file system [08:33] bazhang, to my knowledge theres like 6 unix/linux viruses [08:33] caesa1: yw, to make it stick, add a script to your autostart, wait, i'll paste mine , give me a sec [08:33] Starnestommy, its sudo cp /home/lyzium/learnspace/xf86-video-intel/src/.libs/intel_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/ [08:33] *whistles* [08:33] Swiftfoxer, Yes, in fact I think that's all it does :) [08:33] zd32nv: i have it on my core2 quad and am happy, fwiw [08:33] Jordan_U, sweet! [08:34] Jordan_U, but I really don't want to ask the user for root privilege just for accessing the ISO :( [08:34] ushimitsudoki: ubuntu, or other? [08:34] Swiftfoxer, There aren't really any *NIX viruses in the wild, clamav is usually used for email server that need to filter windows viruses :) [08:34] lyzium: you need to copy it to each target directory individually [08:34] zd32nv: ubuntu hardy [08:34] Starnestommy, i understand thanks :) [08:34] i hate apps that don't quit when you click the "x" in the upper right corner [08:34] Dr_willis, Okay I get your point...will give fuseiso a try [08:34] Jordan_U, it's a pity that it's taking more than 1250 minutes though [08:35] this one's just taking forever :( [08:35] !ot | Swiftfoxer [08:35] Swiftfoxer: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:35] even on windows it was never this long... sadly [08:35] bazhang: removed first [08:35] Hello , i installed apache2 server, but each time i type "http://localhost" on my browser , i get an error msg : " you choose to open ..which is a: PHTML file .. " and i get box to save the file ?? [08:35] sorry, bazhang [08:35] anyway thanks folks [08:35] RudyValencia, the app did or you chose remove first [08:35] both ways [08:36] kate rename the file to html instead of phtml [08:36] RudyValencia, not sure what you mean [08:36] morning [08:36] I tried letting the app remove it first. [08:36] it seems that the only geek available currently is bazhang [08:36] then I tried choosing remove [08:36] perhamlinux, the only one willing to google more like :) [08:37] bazhang: i have an envyng gui in application>system tools and it shows two drivers on th e right side ATI and NVIDIA. iselect nvidia> auto detect and install it does the installation and a pop up says operation complete the restart now or not? [08:37] Does the ubuntu kernel have the ext2online patch? [08:37] zubu, run remove first [08:37] bazhang: it took 20 secs. [08:37] at max. [08:37] How can I make a key-shortcut for gnome-do to appear ???? [08:37] zubu now reboot [08:37] ok. [08:38] zubu, dont install first [08:38] i'll be back [08:38] Can I ask a question? [08:38] mattryan: just ask it [08:38] ooo never ask that [08:38] mattryan, that is a question :) [08:38] :D I remember Wine being the best way to get windows games to play in linux. Is wine still the best way? [08:39] mattryan, Yes [08:39] RudyValencia, you still have the high res? [08:39] I gave up [08:39] oh rudy :( [08:39] yeah [08:39] I even had problems with Windows on this laptop [08:40] two more minutes and it would have been fixed [08:40] Is there an option to reinstall the kernel without reinstalling the whole systme? [08:40] I think I'll start with a fresh install and use envyNG to install the driver first [08:40] Jordan_U What [08:40] Jordan_U What's it called? [08:40] RudyValencia, try creating a new user first [08:40] mattryan: what is what called? [08:40] RudyValencia, never reinstall--:> this is linux :) [08:41] ok i doesnt have a wireless option and my computer detects the hardware but wont use it all drivers are installed and ive been in evry forum imaginable but they take too long to respond [08:41] mattryan, I was saying yes to the question "Is wine still the best way [to run windows games]?" [08:41] belkin f5d8073 external and atheros ar242x internal [08:41] it's already too late - I removed the partitions and replaced them with an NTFS one for tomorrow to reinstall XP [08:41] bazhang: i am back [08:41] bazhang: now what? [08:42] What is the function or role of the Kconfig files? [08:42] Chepra: go for "http://paste.ubuntu.com/12940/" and that'll always depend on the latest complete generic Linux kernel [08:42] broha, What is the output ( if any ) from "sudo modprobe ath_pci" ? [08:43] mistake Chepra: should read "linux-generic" [08:43] Okay I got RoR to install its in my Applications > Games > list but I click it, doesn't open...It install the data part of it, configurator and all..but won't open...any ideas? [08:43] bazhang: should i install the driver now? [08:43] hi all [08:43] has anyone setup "shared folders" for courier-imap server? [08:44] PEOPLE !!! PLEASE HELP ME !! http://paste.ubuntu.com/12944/ [08:44] i have done everything in the manual but still no luck, i can't make it work [08:44] none just loops back to command [08:44] !caps | AfroRowan [08:44] AfroRowan: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [08:44] broha, Same with "sudo modprobe ath_hal" ? [08:44] Well, you can read it, but you cant reply to it, said it for 6 times now [08:44] AfroRowan: sorry, but your disk is dead [08:45] AfroRowan: good luck with it [08:45] drash: i have the last kernel [08:45] AfroRowan: sounds like a bad bios setting or broken hard disk [08:45] same [08:45] omg [08:45] Any ideas why my game, Rigs of Rods won't open even after it finally installed? [08:45] i hope the 1st Starnestommy [08:45] AfroRowan: you might hear a click from the hard drive [08:45] what will it mean ? [08:46] it does the same thing [08:46] sarmisak: What does that say ? [08:46] AfroRowan: the motor of the drive is not working, try removing the drive and put it in an external box [08:46] how do i remove pulseaudio from hardy without removing ubuntu-desktop too? [08:46] matthew, Do you see any errors when you open it from the terminal? [08:46] (apparently people are unhappy with pulseaudio) [08:46] and try to access it from a pc or another nb [08:46] zd32nv: I don't think you can [08:46] Chepra, than go for the "linux-image-xxxxx-generic" kernel of your liking [08:46] !ubuntu-desktop | zd32nv [08:46] zd32nv: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [08:46] zd32nv: do you have any specific problems with pulse? it works very well for me [08:47] which one do you want to install Chepra ? [08:47] AfroRowan: i hope you can get your data back [08:47] huh, the motor not working ? :-/ [08:47] Jordan_U: matthew@matthew-desktop:~$ Rigs of Rods [08:47] bash: Rigs: command not found [08:47] zd32nv, You can also simply disable it in System -> Preferences -> Sound [08:47] adam7: i'm still a fan of alsa, and looking into ubuntu-installation, i've found that not all will go well [08:47] Jordan_U: It's under my Applications > Games though [08:47] matthew, Try it as one word all lower case [08:47] bazhang: what should i do now? [08:48] zd32nv: ok, suit yourself, but I'd suggest you at least give it a chance unless you encouter a specific problem :) [08:48] Jordan_U: ok same bash when i put it lower case [08:48] matthew, From the site it seems the command is "RoR" [08:49] Jordan_U: I typed "RoR" in terminal without the " and a bunch of stuff came up [08:49] why is system monitor showing 315.5gb free space but only 297.3gb available space?

[08:53] 1.4ghz [08:53] I have to try to install Ubuntu 8 times it kept freezing too brappin7 [08:53] its just given me a red screen. Installation step failed [08:54] :| [08:54] brappin7: ah, what's the error? [08:54] who knows how to send signal from php web page to a program? [08:54] Jennal: that's kinda offtopic, and you might have better luck in #php [08:54] it just says an installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Select and install software [08:54] attila: you remember me? [08:54] Jordan_U: see anything my friend? [08:54] Would there be any harm to executing 'sudo mount -a' periodically? Like every hour? [08:55] attila: my problem not yet fixed [08:55] brappin7: I take it you're using the alternate install cd? run the check cd for defects thingy at the boot prompt [08:55] how does one add an .srt file to .avi in movie player (Totem) please?

[08:56] livingdaylight: .avi and .srt should work anywhere [08:56] matthew, Yes [08:57] drash: but i don't see how i can put the two together in Totem? [08:57] Jordan_U: all I've been wanting to do is try this game under Linux...Always some problems jumps in front of me [08:57] How can I make a shortcut to run an interactive command line application? [08:57] Jordan_U: What do you suggest? [08:57] sarmisak, i have my hdd in front of myself [08:57] drash: i've done it in VLC, but don't know whether Totem supports it? [08:57] For example, how could I make a shortcut to run "ssh root@192.168.3.105" [08:57] hey jordan is there another tech channel u seem swamped bro [08:57] livingdaylight: Totem does that for you, or do you want to re-code the movie with the subs ? [08:57] serial = MHV2120AH [08:57] It does, check the preferences in Totem [08:58] drash: how does Totem do it for me? [08:58] matthew, What is the output from "dpkg -L rigsofrods | grep -i RoRConfig" ? [08:58] drash: if i click on .avi i get the movie but without the .srt [08:58] drash: i've checked preferences [08:58] livingdaylight: have you set the prefences in Totem ? [08:58] Hello, is there a way that I can know which physical volume does a logical volume map to ? [08:58] Jordan_U: matthew@matthew-desktop:~$ "dpkg -L rigsofrods | grep -i RoRConfig" [08:58] bash: dpkg -L rigsofrods | grep -i RoRConfig: command not found [08:58] matthew@matthew-desktop:~$ [08:58] drash: set it to what? [08:59] matthew, run that without the quotes [08:59] lol [08:59] livingdaylight: just checking the 'automatically load subtitle' stuff should do it [08:59] drash: i see nothing in Totem preference that has anything to do with subtitles [09:00] drash: where do you see that option? [09:00] should be in same directory with samename.sub [09:00] livingdaylight: what version are you using ? [09:00] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12947/ [09:00] matthew, Ok, try running "/usr/bin/RoRConfig" [09:01] Guys my ubuntu laptop does not play sounds after a while! has anybody seen this? Can somebody tell me how I can reload the sound drivers? Any suggestion welcome, I have that machine now and am willing to try and find the cause of this problem or a possible workaround. [09:01] drash: whatever Hardy has installed by default [09:01] drash: 2.22.1 [09:01] jobless, What version of Ubuntu are you using? [09:01] anyone know what package vim color themes are in? [09:01] Jordan_U hardy [09:01] livingdaylight: ok, same here, with the prefs, I suppose they did something extra for me :D [09:01] Jordan_U: ok, this is what I get....http://paste.ubuntu.com/12948/ [09:02] you mean here? [09:02] sure [09:02] heh [09:02] drash: ?? [09:02] Ademan: vim-common, or vim-full [09:02] need help, ask a question [09:02] jobless, you got a livecd? try running from there or create a new user and see if the problem persists [09:02] drash: can you give me a screenshot? [09:02] okay. can someone help me with my wireless problem? [09:03] Gordon_Frohman3: what kind of wireless problem is it and what card are you using? [09:03] !ask [09:03] 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. :-) [09:03] Starnestommy: interesting, because i brought over my .vimrc from my other computer, and every time i start vim it complains about missing a theme file, and i know i didn't install any aux theme files (and i've got vim-full) [09:03] hey guys, what's a good CD ripper that converts to wma or mp3? [09:03] Jordan_U: did you recieve my lastest pastebin url ? [09:03] livingdaylight: I use the "totem-gstreamer" package, check your Synaptics please just to make sure [09:04] matthew, Yes [09:04] Jordan_U: does it make any sense my friend? [09:04] bazhang .. i am sure i will get back the sound if i restart the machine .. i am just trying to avoid it .. [09:04] sarmisak, could it be a problem if i had no jumper on it ? === jobles1 is now known as jobless [09:05] drash: i use what was installed default. yes, totem-gstreamer is ticked [09:05] Hi, does anyone know, where can I find startup applications? I have set up conky to start at startup and I cant get rid of it... [09:05] jobless, that is not the reason I suggested that--by creating a new user we can see if it is something you did or not [09:06] What's the kde4 remix metapackage for kubuntu? kubuntu-desktop-kde4 or something? [09:06] livingdaylight: weird, maybe i activated a few other gstreamer packages, i'll check [09:06] c.hostnetbv.nl [09:06] matthew, OK, I am not sure about this but try "sudo link /usr/lib/libtiff.so.{4,3}" [09:06] Jordan_U: The Command it put under properties in my Applications > Games > Menu is /usr/share/games/rigsofrods/RoRConfig [09:06] Jordan_U: okay [09:06] bazhang .. ok i will create a new user and login as that user.. now .. [09:06] hey guys, what's a good CD ripper that converts to wma or mp3? === hedgee is now known as cky [09:07] Jordan_U: ok i did that [09:07] Jordan_U: back to matthew@Matthew-desktop [09:07] drash: http://img517.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotpx2.png [09:07] matthew, Now try "/usr/share/games/rigsofrods/RoRConfig" [09:07] illriginal: i believe the default ripping software can rip to mp3 just fine, i don't think it can rip to wma though. why not just use ogg though? [09:07] I give [09:07] livingdaylight: k, i'll take a look and post mine in a minute [09:08] illriginal: yeah, i just checked, it does mp3 just fine [09:08] Ademan, because if I make a copy of CD using ogg, I can't play it in my car. [09:08] which software?... K3B? [09:08] livingdaylight: it's in the genral tab ;) [09:08] Hi. I have trouble with my sound card (integreted with motherboard). I must in alsamixer lower sound on pcm, master and front. If i not change i heard crackle sound. But music have no bass and "power" like in windows. Someone know solution [09:09] illriginal: the default software should do it find applications->sound and video->Audio CD Extractor [09:09] illriginal: note you need to go to edit->preferences and change it from ogg to mp3 [09:09] Ha... awesome, thanks Ademan. I just installed this for the first time [09:09] how to change a common variable to a environment variable? [09:09] mattryan, Is it running now? [09:10] gaokai, export [09:10] illriginal: i dunno if you have the correct codecs yet in that case, you'll probably want this: [09:10] livingdaylight: found it ? Under "General" .. your screenshot shows the "display" prefs .. [09:10] can the other shell script call the environment variable? [09:11] illriginal: actually, apparently it's done automatically these days [09:11] Jordan_U: ok the config window did open, I set it up, clicked saved and play now, I just went to a blank screen i couldnt get out of.. [09:11] illriginal: i've been around here too long :-p [09:11] where can I find startup applications? I have set up conky to start at startup and I cant get rid of it... [09:11] Hey, how could I check which WLAN cards are supported in Ubuntu? [09:11] Dundee: system->preferences->sessions [09:11] drash: yes [09:11] Hello, I want to make this device work under Linux ( http://www.cellsina.com/irda/redbridge-adaptor.htm ). Can someone help? I have already searched Google a lot but could not find anything helpful. [09:11] ademan: thanks, thats it :) [09:12] drash: http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1pr2.png [09:12] Dundee: no problem [09:12] checking .. [09:12] my nm-applet is working but it stopped picking up wireless station, [09:12] Jordan_U: what ya think? [09:12] !wireless | Matic`Makovec [09:12] Matic`Makovec: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:13] Righto, thanks [09:13] I don't think there's a proper list of supported cards, but the info should be there [09:13] drash: so, by ticking 'load subtitles automatically' when i now click on .avi and the movie starts it will automatically find the .srt and run it alongside?? In VLC one has to initially manually load both avi and srt if one wants them to play alongside each other [09:13] Matic`Makovec, intel and atheros top the list; avoid broadcom if possible [09:13] livingdaylight: looks ok, should work automagically as long as you respect some location and naming conventions [09:13] ok bazhang .. i have a new problem now .. after creating a new user.. i am unable to switch users .. i just see a blank screen .. restarting x gets me back to my first user profile .. [09:13] Okay [09:14] jobless, what about the original problem though [09:14] matthew, Seems like this app depends on an older version of libtiff than is available for hardy and is generally poorly made and packaged :( [09:14] livingdaylight: make sure the avi and your srt are in the same folder and that only the filename extension differs [09:14] goede morge [09:15] Jordan_U: How can I get this, older libtiff ? [09:15] !nl | max_ [09:15] max_: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [09:15] vers gezette koffie, i'm off [09:16] Hi, I've just installed LVM2 and tried to set-up a volume group and logical volume. Everything went fine, however when I rebooted the system there were a couple of problems. The first is that the vg started out inactive and there is no device mapper loaded. To start it I have to do modprobe dm_mod and then vgprobe -a y vg1. [09:16] dunno bazhang .. i am unable to switch .. i will try logging off and login as the new user .. switching does not work .. [09:16] Whats the correct way of getting this to start up active on system restart? [09:16] matthew, It's probably more trouble than it's worth, it may even be easier to just try installing the windows version in wine :) [09:16] jobless, does the newuser have the same prob as the original user or not [09:17] Jordan_U: I tryed installing it on WIne, It also don't open [09:17] drash: works now! Thank You fellah.... [09:17] one more harder question: I have changed mounting settings of NTFS device (in nautilus) and I cant mount this device or change the settings...Where is this setting placed? I tried to delete .nautilus but no effect. [09:17] Jordan_U: maybe you can do it and help me? [09:17] livingdaylight: enjoy, yw :) [09:17] k round 2. lets see if it hangs at 6% again [09:17] Jordan_U thanks mate. Wine is going on now. [09:17] i need help with install ubuntu [09:17] i dunno which file to download..and burn to iso [09:17] JbCrash whats the problem? [09:18] can guide me [09:18] ? [09:18] oh [09:18] get either the alternate iso or the desktop iso [09:18] wats that diff? [09:18] desktop is live boot i believe\ [09:18] JbCrash, go here --> www.ubuntu.com [09:19] The other problem was that after installing LVM2 and rebooting the md RAID0 that I have seemed to hang the startup. Ubuntu hung at startup until I turned off the two USB discs that md uses.

Do I have any other options that FAT32? I know there's ntfs support for Hardy and ext2/3 plugins for Vista, but I'm not sure if they are good/reliable enough [09:21] anyone know the latest and best drivers for an nVidia GeForce4 8800GTS [09:21] from iso..after burn..its that i can boot it? i hv 3 partition in my hdd.. i hv vista installed..ubuntu will detect my windows? for lilo?

[09:21] Ayabara, Ext3* [09:21] bazhang .. any ideas for the next time i see this problem? [09:21] drash: saves me installing VLC.. which i used to use before for movies requiring .srt's . STrange how Totem automatically detects .srt file in folder and picks it up-like magic to me [09:22] brappin7: are you looking to dual boot , otherwise gparted might do a better job partitioning your HD before you install Ubuntu (just a thought) [09:22] ipei: and the ext2/3 fs support in Windows? [09:22] drash: yea, not used any of the plugins.. 'browsing youtube' etc [09:22] nah dont wanna dual boot [09:22] Ayabara, U currently use http://www.fs-driver.org/ for my windows machine... Works great. [09:22] im not familiar with partitioning it myself [09:23] jobless, what did the second user have; the same sound problem or no [09:23] matthew, Hopefully you can just run "wine /path/to/exe" [09:23] brappin7: look for gparted, also a live cd, real handy tool [09:23] bazhang: i m back [09:23] bazhang: what shuld i do now? [09:24] zubu, you need to remove the drivers first [09:24] ipei: ah. used that once before, and it was quite good then. have you had any issues with one os fudging up for the other? I see fs-driver supports UTF8 now as well. [09:24] bazhang:i did that.did a restart now what? [09:24] hmm. am I offtopic now? [09:24] bazhang .. when i tried logging off the system hung on me .. so i had to restart it and the problem is gone .. i am logged in as the first user now and everything works .. i never got to logging in as the second user .. :( [09:24] hi [09:24] k its gotten over the stall at 6% n has continued ...

[09:25] how to find my laptop : Standard personal computer (x86 architecture, PentiumTM, CeleronTM, AthlonTM, SempronTM) or 4bit AMD and Intel computers [09:25] zubu now install the drivers [09:25] pairing doesn't really work for me [09:25] ? [09:25] bazhang .. if you can tell me how i can reload the sound drivers .. that would be great! [09:25] morning [09:25] JbCrash: if you don't know, use the x86/standard one [09:26] when i see that problem bazhang .. the system bell works .. [09:26] Ayabara, I have it set up so I don't see the Linux partision. [09:26] is Hardy 64bit better supported say vs Gutsy 64bit? does more stuff work correctly? [09:26] ipei: good, since all my externals and my storage partition is in ext3 now :-). thanks for the tip [09:26] Ayabara, :-) [09:26] jobless, you using wine? [09:26] bazhang: should i restart now?

[09:27] bazhang:yeah [09:27] where are placed nautilus mounting settings? [09:27] zubu I have run that tool-->it takes longer than a single minute to do [09:27] Jordan_U: No, I'm on 32 bit, I came from Gutsy 64bit, clean install of Hardy LTS 32bit [09:28] bazhang isnt it the one in application > system tool [09:28] jobless, you can check in sound prefs; change from autodetect to alsa or other-->may need to experiment a bit [09:28] jobless you can also /msg ubottu sound for some instructions [09:29] zubu aye and it takes far longer than a minute to run [09:29] Any1 know what gets installed off the cd at 6% ? [09:29] why the downloading too slow [09:29] in the install software step [09:29] bazhang .. thank you for the tip .. will do that the next time i see the problem .. which occurs at least twice a day :) [09:29] brappin7, bad burn or corrupt iso [09:30] bazhang i downloaded the iso from 2 different places [09:30] and have burnt it 3 times [09:30] bazhang: it toook just about a minute. [09:30] the 2 other cd's hang and fail at 6% [09:30] Anyone know if adobe photoshop elements or adobe lightroom runs in wine? Haven't found a photo organizer/editer I really like in Linux yet [09:30] md5 the iso brappin7 [09:30] this cd hangs for 3 or 4mins but then continues [09:30] !md5 | brappin7 [09:30] bazhang: considering it has been installed what shuld i do next? [09:30] brappin7: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [09:30] Is there a good way to remove libraries which were manually installed to /usr/local/lib using make? [09:30] the cd check came back fine [09:30] Which is the better system to have or does it depend on what u need it for? Gutsy 7.10 or Hardy 8.04 ? [09:31] zubu no idea; there must be something strange that you are doing as it takes far longer than a single minute to run that tool [09:31] matthew, run the live cds and see for yourself [09:31] How does one configure which modules are loaded at startup? Currently I have to do modprobe dm_mod everytime I reboot. [09:31] bazhang: should i reinstall envyng ? [09:32] zubu that wont change anything [09:32] Well, I mean can you do everything on Hardy as you could do on Gutsy etc? [09:32] hi [09:32] <]Spectre[> hi to all. I'm looking if it's possible to connect my samsung telephone as usb memory under ubuntu,under windows xp it works.thanks [09:33] bazhang: considering it has installed what should i do next? [09:33] matthew, what wireless do you have which sound card what video card these are things to consider and a reason to run the livecds and see it picks them up or not [09:33] Hi hi! Can someone please tell me why these last rows in fstab have no effect? I have to mount them now, for some reason. Yesterday I could logoff and they got mounted automaticly. ---> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/12953/ <--- [09:33] Ayabara: gimp not to your liking ? there's also www.gimpshop.com (intended to replicate the feel of Adobe Photoshop) [09:33] zubu no idea as what I have told you to do could not possibly have taken only a single minute [09:33] I don't have wireless and I have onboard sound...and it seems to pick it all up find on Gutsy and Hardy [09:34] matthew, then run the hardy cd and see if it it to your liking [09:34] ipei, last rows? You mean the 0 0 and 0 1 rows? Those dont affect automounting I thought.. I THINK they affect the order the disks get fscked in.. (i need to look that up again someday) [09:34] err is [09:34] bazhang: I am on Hardy 8.04 32bit now [09:34] ipei: what does "bind" do there? [09:34] where are placed nautilus mounting settings (if you change the default settings)? I have searched in .nautilus and gconf-editor, but there is nothing like this... [09:35] drash: It's most organizing/tagging and simple editing, so gimp is not the best choice. Digikam is the best I've seen under linux, but I still think the mentioned Adobe products are neater for my demands. [09:35] gordonjcp, I have no clue. I saw someon etelling another to write that in a guide :S [09:35] matthew, then the choice has been made :) [09:35] Dr_willis, The last to rows in the file. /media & /var [09:35] ipei: actually, your paths are totally wrong [09:35] How do I disable IPv6 ?

[10:02] jscinoz: with that much, you don't really need any :/ [10:02] I have 2gb + no swap [10:02] jscinoz, that rule is a bit out of date these days,, Unless you want to use hibernate/suspend [10:02] adam7 doesnt the installer require you to have as wap partition? [10:03] ashish: are you from delhi? [10:03] swap* [10:03] jussi01: It rejects any incoming connections which new or invalid [10:03] i always put 512mb swap on every hd on a machine. [10:03] hmm [10:03] jscinoz: I don't know, off hand -- it it does, just remove it from /etc/fstab [10:03] blackladder;i m frm kanpur [10:03] I'd prefer to have swap for suspend hibernate [10:03] sevillian, not in this channel please [10:03] sevillian: no - it helps with linux installs being hacked [10:03] I think I have like a 4gb swap partition on this drive, just because. [10:03] and hell i'm running on a 4x 500GB raid0 array [10:03] i can afford 8gb for swap :P [10:03] jscinoz, then you do want a large amount of swap then for just that need. :) [10:03] hmm [10:04] but how often do you hibernate/suspend a desktop machine [10:04] jscinoz: really though, unless you are doing some video editing + image editing you won't need that much [10:04] when i set up this system (still waiting on a few parts to arrive) is it better to have swap inside or outside the raid0 array? [10:04] jscinoz: are you using the 64bit version? [10:04] adam7 yes [10:04] or i will be rather [10:04] ok :) [10:04] ashish: which coll? [10:04] otherwise you'll lose the 4th gb [10:04] i know [10:04] blackladder:IIT [10:05] is it better to have 8gb swap inside my raid0 array, or just 2gb swap on each drive? [10:05] blackladder: u??? [10:05] basically what would result in greater speed, linux's handling of multiple swap partitions or the one on a raid0 array [10:05] ashish: cool which semester and branch? if u dono t mind? [10:05] !swap [10:05] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [10:05] jscinoz, i doubt if it willmatter much. snce you wont be using it much anyway [10:05] thanky [10:05] true. [10:05] oh wait just realised [10:05] it needs to be on the array anyway [10:05] ashish, blackadder please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [10:05] blackladder:why do u ask???n wre r u from??

Now I cant get the game running. What should I do? [10:06] jscinoz: if you have an old spare drive (like 10gb), just pop that in and use it as swap [10:06] encrypted swap - for the truely paranoid? :) [10:07] Dr_wills probably :P basically its going to be 250mb /boot on raid 1 array across 4 disks, with the rest of each 500GB disk in raid0 then encryption then LVM then swap + home + root [10:07] tossing up between reiserfs or ext3 for the actual filesystem on each LVM volume though. [10:07] jscinoz: should be enough space for ya [10:07] probably :P [10:08] jscinoz: and 250mb for boot is huge, I think [10:08] Anyone have a link where I can get the snd-hda-intel driver for Ubuntu 8.04 ?

[10:09] jscinoz: true, and it's not like you're losing a significant amount of disk space overall [10:09] Dr_willis: but it's easier to get linux to read ntfs then windows to read ext2/3 [10:09] mevsthevoices: you should be able to [10:10] adam7: Thanks mate, I think I just found what I was looking for in a Ubuntu bug though... have to rebuild alsa with additional options [10:10] adam7 easier? well its a simple install.. but i think its SAFER to let linux read/write the ntfs. :) [10:10] Nom: sounds like fun, good luck [10:10] adam7, yeah and I'll put /boot on a raid1 array since even if i didn't, i'd still be losing 250mb from the other 3 disks as raid0 will use N of volumes * smallest volume for total size [10:10] hello everyone [10:10] hello. i set up an openvpn tunnel. it works fine, but after some time it suddenly stops working, meaning a ping isnt answered for example. what could be the problem?

[10:14] speaking of x86_64, whats it like nowadays? I hear you can still run any 32bit app provided you have the 32bit lib, and also that they finally resolved the screwyness with 64bit firefox + flash [10:14] but when i compile .c scripts i get errors, evn after installing build-essentials [10:14] :| [10:14] Dr_willis, true ;P [10:15] jscinoz, and yes. that can cause root owning files in your home dir. :( [10:15] Dr_willis: thanks a lot for the info sir. i'll give it a try. [10:15] mevsthevoices: yeah, I can connect, I don't know what the password/username is though ;) [10:15] adam7: how about enabling compiz or xgl or whatever it's called now for nvidia cards? [10:15] !compiz [10:15] 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 [10:15] Well, I'm happy to hear that in both cases, thank ya === madmaxmad is now known as mad_max02 [10:16] Does anyone know how to delete a package that is not installed but still is hidden somewhere in the computer? [10:16] mevsthevoices: watch out for the bots, though [10:16] i set up an openvpn tunnel. it works fine, but after some time it suddenly stops working, meaning a ping isnt answered for example. what could be the problem? [10:16] Which bots? [10:16] mevsthevoices: the ones that come looking for open port 22s and bruteforce them ;) [10:16] brappin7: if you are getting errors, there may be errors in the c source or you may require extra libraries or header files on your system [10:16] Nalleman, which file [10:16] var= $( dirname /bin/bash ) the error notice is "./creat: line 2: /bin: is a directory" ,why? who can help me? [10:17] Ohh dunna worry pass is 17 characters numbers letters different cases, less its a really smart not I think i'm just dandy [10:17] mcphail here's a pastebin, it might mean more to you then me.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12963/ [10:17] Please, where is the mouse pointer configuration tool in hardy? [10:17] bazhang, well I would like to delete fretsonfire from my computer, not only "uninstall" the game. [10:17] mevsthevoices: sounds good :) [10:17] Nalleman, how was it installed [10:17] the c source compiles fine on my mates freshly installed ubuntu [10:18] so its definately not the src [10:18] bazhang sudo apt-get install [10:18] mevsthevoices: yeah, handy hint - if you're behind some sort of NAT then don't expose port 22 to the outside world, make it something like port 8022 [10:18] var= $( dirname /bin/bash ) the error notice is "./creat: line 2: /bin: is a directory" ,why? who can help me? [10:18] Heh. if using apt-get to isntall somthing. its not a good idea to just rm the dir. it instals to. [10:18] Nalleman, check in synaptic for remove completely [10:19] mevsthevoices: "Security Through Obscurity" really isn't security, but it keeps the bots off, mostly [10:19] bazhang, I have. it dont work. I dont have to download the files again when I reinstall the game witch means that the package is on the computer. [10:19] gaokai: drop the space after the = sign [10:20] brappin7: at first glance, it would suggest there is a syntax error in "brap.c" which is causing a cascade of parsing errors [10:20] * soundray still looking for the mouse pointer config [10:20] Nalleman, remove --purge then [10:20] mevsthevoices: incidentally before I moved my port 22 out of the way, I used to get about 20 to 30,000 connection attempts *per day*, mostly from APNIC IP addresses [10:20] hmm [10:20] are there any issues with skype? [10:20] koheleth: yes [10:20] ah [10:20] bazhang, ok thanks. [10:20] starts to load and then fails [10:20] Yea, I can see it being a bit of a hole [10:20] koheleth: it doesn't like some sound cards, in particular my M-Audio Delta 1010LT [10:20] koheleth: it's closed-source, proprietary hoarder software [10:21] sure but I use it [10:21] mevsthevoices: you can, of course, just firewall off large swathes of the Internet from your port 22 [10:21] koheleth: start it from a terminal and see if it generates any error messages [10:21] pidgin or skype have the protocol yet? [10:21] mevsthevoices: also make sure that root login is disabled [10:21] ok [10:21] I could, just going to use this from many places [10:21] openssl vulnerability fixed yet? [10:21] jagggy: yes [10:21] hmm, ok, ty [10:22] mevsthevoices: if you're going to access it from one computer wherever you go, use key access, which removes the password element [10:22] Can you guys point me to the place where you configure mouse pointers in hardy please? [10:22] koheleth: are you having problems with skype? [10:22] adam7: assuming you've got good keys [10:22] I still don't get how that works, can do it, just not sure what I'm actualy doing [10:22] adam7: and you have updated to remove the Debian vandalism from openssl [10:23] yes, tried to start from a terminal and it starts then aborts [10:23] mevsthevoices: what, ssh keys? [10:23] Yes [10:23] mevsthevoices: want to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic? [10:23] koheleth: any error message? [10:23] Okie doke [10:23] just aborted [10:23] mcphail you were spot on mate, was a syntax error which was causing all my problems :D [10:23] how do i start networking in single-user mode? [10:24] bazhang, im sorry to say that it doesnt work the way I want it to. I still doesnt have to download the game when I install it [10:24] koheleth: as soundray said, start it from a terminal and see what it complains about [10:24] * soundray would have thought it's either under System-Preferences-Appearance or under System-Preferences-Mouse, but it isn't... (mouse pointers) [10:24] brappin7: it usually boils down to a missing semicolon :) [10:24] I said, it just says 'Aborted' [10:24] soundray: system prefs appearance themes customize mouse, IIRC [10:25] discovered an annoying bug : my shell is /usr/bin/tcsh, gui is KDE, when I restart all konsole's start with bash instead of tcsh [10:25] adam7: found it. Wonderful, thank you! [10:25] H__: did you use chsh and logout/in after changing the shell? [10:25] adam7 : yes i did chsh, and rebooted the whole machine [10:26] H__: hm, well then, you should be all set ;) [10:26] a fresh opened konsole starts a new tcsh, as it should [10:26] H__: do the ttys (ctrl+alt+f1, etc) use tcsh? [10:26] but the 'session saved' konsoles run bash now [10:26] where are placed nautilus mounting settings (if you change the default settings)? I have searched in .nautilus and gconf-editor, but there is nothing like this... [10:26] back later [10:26] adam7 : yes, they run tcsh [10:27] I tested those first :) [10:27] it's something funny with kde session save [10:27] good morning [10:28] H__: apparently, the fact that the konsole windows were running bash rather than tcsh was stored in the session information. Delete your stored sessions and setup/save a new one. [10:28] soundray excellent idea. i'll try that and report back [10:28] can i get someone's opinion [10:29] what's the best irc client for nix [10:29] gnome in particular [10:29] is there anyone that can help me with setting up a Huawei E220 modem? the network I use in 3 in UK [10:29] how come ubuntu server 8.04 i386 won't boot in virtualbox? [10:29] Hello? [10:29] haxt: in my opinion, xchat is the best graphical one [10:29] anyone: How can I completly remove package from the computer? [10:29] that's what im using [10:29] but i want something like mirc [10:29] xchat doesnt have good gui to me [10:29] anyone know how to start networking in hardy single mode? [10:29] or the gnome frontend [10:29] haxt: kvirc? [10:30] Nalleman, do sudo apt-get --purge remove [10:30] let me check it out [10:30] hello, where does ubuntu have it's default root for apache2 located? [10:30] Ok.... I just tried installing ubuntu again... now this time I get the grub menu, but if I choose anything at all, I get... "Error 15: File not found" [10:30] why is kvirc 93MB [10:30] I tried installing to the other hard drive this time.... [10:30] kdelibs-data kdelibs4c2a kvirc kvirc-data libarts1c2a libavahi-qt3-1 [10:30] liblua50 liblualib50 libqt3-mt [10:30] haxt: it also needs some of kde's libraries to run [10:31] all those packages have to be installed, why so manay dependences [10:31] im on gnome === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [10:31] i dont want a kde [10:31] haxt: kde programs work in gnome [10:31] well i dont want to download dependencies for a shell i dont use [10:31] especially for one program [10:31] thanks though [10:32] haxt: you could also run mirc in wine [10:32] Starnestommy: too slow :) [10:33] Starnestommy: that doesn't really solve the problem -- wine alone is 53MB... [10:33] !logs | AfroRowan [10:33] hmm [10:33] AfroRowan: can we help you? [10:34] yeah [10:34] Who was it that just helped me a second ago with IRC client suggestions? [10:34] i couldnt see your nick ti was bright yellow [10:34] it* [10:34] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12944/ [10:34] haxt: I think it was Starnestommy, but I'm not sure [10:35] hehe [10:35] i have a problem on a 7.10 server..on my hp server at reboot network doesn't start..can anyone help me? [10:35] better it's darkred now [10:35] Starnes: so are you using xchat [10:35] this is hopeless [10:35] BuSyAnToS: hp server ? [10:35] yes [10:35] haxt: irssi, but only because I don't like the graphical clients [10:36] hewlett packard printer server ? [10:36] AfroRowan: I'm afraid this is bad news. I think you need a new hard disk drive [10:36] Starnestommy: have you seen XChat-GNOME IRC Chat [10:36] !network | BuSyAnToS [10:36] BuSyAnToS: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:36] soundray: is there any, any hope of getting data back ? [10:36] BuSyAnToS: sorry, ignore that - check out /etc/network/interfaces [10:36] haxt: I use xchat-gnome -- good enough for me [10:36] i have ralink usb wifi card, but it does not work with iwpriv i get wlan0 no private ioctls. [10:36] Xorothal, The problem is that somewhere there lies some ".deb" files that is not removed, even if I remove with purge [10:37] haxt: I've tried it, but it lacks a lot of features and commands that regular xchat has, although the interface is better [10:37] Nalleman, oh ok, then idk [10:37] AfroRowan: well, you could give it to a commercial data rescue services, but they usually charge in excess of 10^4 EUR [10:37] adam7 already done with static ip in /etc/network/interfaces and at reboot i get eth0 not working [10:37] 10^4 ? why [10:37] BuSyAnToS: if you don't mind, can you pastebin that file? [10:37] sure [10:37] Nalleman: apt-get clean? [10:38] void^, i should try. [10:38] Starnestommy: better? it lacks the ability to display users in the window [10:38] AfroRowan: they take it to a clean room, take the platter out and insert it into a new drive [10:38] haxt: I forgot about that. [10:38] linuxac [10:38] Starnestommy: atleast i tried to find it as hard as possible and it took me 5 seconds in xchat without the ui [10:39] xchat-gnome can display users; they're just hidden by default in one of those little drag-to-expand windows, iirc [10:39] soundray: if that could be possible :D ... Someone also said that, the hdd spindrive could be broken [10:39] Hi. Is there a command line utility that will escape filenames? I want to do e.g. du -ks * but the star is expanding to filenames with spaces and dashes in it, du is just giving me an illegal option error. Is there some way to do du -ks $(ls -1 | escape) where escape would replace spaces with "\ " etc? [10:39] void^, it doesnt seems like that clean is a proper function [10:40] (This is in zsh) [10:40] adam7: http://pastebin.com/m6662a7d1 [10:40] hi all [10:40] soundray : confirmed, that works. I had to close all konsole's and open new ones, then log out, and on log in they are still tcsh (except for the one bash I kept around to test, that's still bash). [10:40] Rachel84: find -maxdepth 1 -print0 | xargs -0 du -ks [10:40] Rachel84: you usually need to use "find" for this, but i can't remember the syntax [10:40] hello, i set up an openvpn tunnel. after some time it stops working, e.g. pings arent answered. i took a look in the logs and it says "UDPv4 write returned 113". i posted my client config on http://nopaste.biz/42207 what could be the problem? [10:40] H__: that's very scientific :) [10:41] ok, how can I search after a certain file name in the root directory? [10:41] soundray heh :) must be a paranoid habit i kept [10:41] soundray & mcphail : thanks. That worked. Clunky... but it worked. ;-/ [10:41] does anybody know anything about this problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/k3d/+bug/112978 I've got the same issue, tho with another application [10:41] Rachel84: don't EVER call my code clunky again! [10:41] I have a laptop with a Turion 64 processor on it. How do I know if lin is using 64 bit extensions? [10:41] Launchpad bug 112978 in k3d "k3d crashes on start with GdkGLExt-WARNING **: cannot load PangoFont" [Undecided,New] [10:41] Rachel84: just kidding :) [10:41] search for I mean. Im just so swinglish [10:42] Nalleman: sudo mlocate [10:42] lol. I'm sure it was the cleanest possible solution given the constraints of the shell. ;-) [10:42] ok, second issue : during bootup the nfs mounts don't work, that's not surprising as the machine does not ping yet, and only at the end of a bootup does a dhcp request. After the DHCP request ping works fine and so does NFS. Is this a rc startup race/bug ? [10:42] BuSyAnToS: what does the network line in that file do? [10:42] Rachel84: the secret is never to use spaces in the first place! [10:43] soundray: could it be that the spin-motor just died ? [10:43] * soundray wholeheartedly agrees with mcphail [10:43] Sure. But torrents and other downloads are often full of the most horrendous filenames. [10:43] sensors gives ridiculous CPU temperatures, +17, -2, +11, +5 degrees Celsius on my AMD Athlon X2 4400+. What can I do? [10:43] my lightning today pane is messing up in thunderbird [10:43] AfroRowan: it's possible [10:43] adam7 it's optional but also without that line networking not restart [10:44] AfroRowan: if you can find the exact same drive, you could do the rescue-service operation yourself. Don't know where you'd find a cleanroom, though. [10:44] hi, is there a "trust me on this one" mode in ubuntu ? [10:44] BuSyAnToS: http://pastebin.com/d3bd8f850 <-- I use that to start my networking at boot [10:44] MindSpark: how do you mean? [10:44] MindSpark you mean no sudo questions anymore ? [10:44] I want to have my own nameservers in resolv.conf and I don't want the system to keep removing them [10:45] like my own manual entries in there [10:45] MindSpark: you use dhcp? [10:45] yes [10:45] yeah, soundray, im surfing the net hoping that i find a company with a cleanroom [10:45] Rachel84: that's why clients often have a mode where they replace odd characters in the locally saved file [10:45] MindSpark use vigr and add yourself to the sudoers group [10:45] MindSpark: ok, do this: [10:45] but after I changed the files, I chmod a-rwx /etc/resolv.conf [10:45] and it still doesn't do anything [10:45] H__, vigr ? never heard of that, lemme check it out [10:45] MindSpark: sudo vim /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [10:46] Like all of my today pane stuff is on the left side, but the pane itself is on the right... [10:46] Why is linux so hard to understand? [10:46] adam7, ok... ? [10:46] i just want to remove some packages from my computer, it should not be that hard?! [10:46] MindSpark: after you've got that file open, then find the prepend domain-name-servers line, replace 127.0.0.1 with your DNS servers, and then remove the # from the beginning of the line [10:46] Nalleman: because it is so logical [10:46] soundray, oooo no [10:46] Nalleman: what was wrong with the advice you received? [10:46] adam7, what does that do ? [10:47] MindSpark: from now on, using dhcp will cause those servers to be added automatically to /etc/resolv.conf [10:47] Yeah, but that's a workaround. It would be a lot nicer if the globbing syntax of the shell had a feature that caused it to expand to the escaped filename ratehr than the raw filename. After all, Having "*" expand to "My file name" on a command line is normally going to cause problems. Expanding to "My\ file\ name" would be a lot more useful, no? [10:47] Nalleman: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename' [10:47] MindSpark then edit /etc/sudoers and look for # Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to not need a password [10:47] Nalleman: sudo apt-get remove package_name_here [10:47] adam7, alright thanks ! === mohamed__ is now known as mohamed_ [10:47] thanks adam7 [10:47] lopin: purge [10:47] Rachel84: knowing zsh, there probably is an option to do just that :P [10:47] BuSyAnToS: that fix it? [10:47] soundray: What's wrong with remove? [10:47] soundray, it doesnt remove the ".deb" files from my computer [10:47] That's what I was hoping. [10:47] hello [10:48] soundray: do you maybe know a company that does a hdd swap in clean room ? [10:48] Nalleman: the deb file is not part of the package managed by apt-get. It is the package itself [10:48] MindSpark edit /etc/sudoers using visudo [10:48] Nalleman: if you want to remove the .deb, just delete it... [10:48] Nalleman: it keeps the .deb file there in case you want to reinstall it so that you don't have to download it again [10:48] Nalleman: remove it with sudo rm package.deb [10:48] soundray, when I try to reinstall the packages I doesnt have to download any file from internet, thus the files is on my computer! [10:48] AfroRowan: near NL? Probably Ontrack [10:49] anyone ideas on this one : during bootup the nfs mounts don't work, that's not surprising as the machine does not ping yet, and only at the end of a bootup does a dhcp request. After the DHCP request ping works fine and so does NFS. Is this a rc startup race/bug ? [10:49] Ontrack ? [10:49] Starnestommy, exactly [10:49] H__, thanks [10:49] and I want to REMOVE it [10:49] could help [10:49] adam7, comma separated ? or just space ? [10:49] Nalleman: yes. I just told you how. [10:49] soundray: nice (ontrackdatarecovery.com) [10:49] Nalleman: did the apt-get clean thing not work? [10:49] soundray, no you didnt [10:49] how i can install any windows apps on wine? [10:49] MindSpark: good question [10:49] Nalleman: okay I'll tell you again [10:50] Nalleman: remove it with sudo rm package.deb [10:50] Best place to add a simple "killall trayer -w" command *before* shutdown ? Having trouble with trayer app that re-starts with default params and those are awfull ... TIA [10:50] how i can install any windows apps on wine?

Basically this machine will be idle virtually all the time except for the off occasion that somebody wants to use the repository. [10:52] Is there a way I can put it in some kind of sleep mode so the computer will save power when it's not being used, but it'll still come up when accessed through the network? [10:52] Soundary : what means that error [10:52] help me, how to install cairo dock un ubuntu7.10 [10:52] fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000580 [10:53] sevillian__: it means that the exec flags were ignored. I don't think that's a fatal error, though [10:53] you can use wake on lan to save power when not in use, but slower responce time [10:54] i want to get ubuntu hardy repositories but i only have low bandwith, anyone here,please help me [10:54] Starnestommy> how can i solve that? [10:54] furrykef: modern mobos and CPUs will do this on their own, otherwise, no. [10:55] hi, does somebody know, where could i get GSM codec ? [10:55] Hi, everybody. I have 8.04 installed. I have disabled network manager from autostart and now my firefox always starts in independent mode. So I should switch it every time when I start it. How can I fix it?? [10:55] druid-tim: wake on lan is to turn the machine on, it won't answer SVN requests when off [10:55] Thank you all that have tried to help me out. It still doesnt work but I am to frustrated to work on this now. [10:55] sevillian__: it's a bug in wine itself. You would probably need to alert wine's developers. Does the installer that you started still run? [10:55] bye [10:56] OK, thanks guys [10:56] anyone from indonesia here???? [10:56] Is somebody using VENTRILO on ubuntu ?

[11:09] adac: check the link i gave earlier, it explains it a lot better than i can, but it helped me a lot [11:09] Starnestommy: firefox mostly uses a lot of ram...and there is also a problem with flash...which I think everyone has who uses 64 bit [11:09] ok, I managed to partition my new installation of linux mint a bit wrong... I meant to give 5 GB for the linux system files, and 50 GB for my user folder and 2.5 GB to my swap... but my home directory is on the linux system part, and /media/disk ended up with all the space... how do I edit fstab to make it right? I copy the files from /home/myuser to /media/disk and then edit fstab to mount the big partition to /home ? [11:09] aRie_indonesian: its an amd athlon 64 2 ghz [11:09] drash: yeah i will check this out [11:10] is there any cleanup utility for Ubuntu? [11:11] Pingviller: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [11:11] adac: i suggest u to reinstall it, my pc only intel pentium D 2.66Ghz dual core. n 512 RAM, just 64 VGA card. not slow. and i could use compyz well [11:12] soundray: i cant find the prices on Ontrackdatarecovery [11:12] deltaslaya: sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb (that cleans out all the .debs) .. [11:12] legend2440: checking :) [11:13] drash: is that cleaned everything? [11:13] hi [11:14] aRie_indonesian: compiz is a no go on my system ;) [11:14] aRie_indonesian: no, it only removes the .debs package managers leave after installation [11:14] bonjour [11:14] hi LjL can i in pvt? [11:14] hi, how do i erase the master boot record (MBR) ? [11:14] Hey guys, I'm trying to install win32 codec, but i keep getting this error: [11:14] W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [11:14] adac: r u have vga card Nvidia or ATI? [11:14] aRie_indonesian: ati [11:14] ive been googling, but can anyone recommend a gui frontend for smartctl of smartmontools ? [11:15] aRie_indonesian: so I can't even install the original driver [11:15] u don't have that driver? [11:15] deltaslaya: http://edhewitt.co.uk/2008/04/09/cleaning-up-all-those-unnecessary-junk-files-off-linux/ [11:16] legend2440: Thanks. [11:16] is it fdisk /mbr maybe ? [11:16] anyone ideas on this one : during bootup the nfs mounts don't work, that's not surprising as the machine does not ping yet, and only at the end of a bootup does a dhcp request. After the DHCP request ping works fine and so does NFS. Is this a rc startup race/bug ? [11:16] aRie_indonesian:no I don't use the original one [11:16] can someone help me with this NO_PUBKEY error? [11:16] adac: try installing envyng-gtk (that'll get the driver for your card) [11:17] Hi. [11:17] drash: I once tried with envy...it was not a good idea [11:17] drash: lot to read on that manual by the way :) [11:17] adac: i have the driver but in bin [11:17] how do i rewrite the master boot record on ubuntu ? [11:18] adac: yes but it's revealing stuff ;) [11:18] drash: I think so! Well and in the meantime while I read it i hope my sytem is finished working on nothing [11:18] ;) [11:18] illriginal: looking into it .. brb [11:19] aRie_indonesian: in bin? what do you mean by that? [11:19] tim167: What exactly are you trying to do? [11:19] u have email adac? [11:19] oh, cool! thanks drash [11:19] aRie_indonesian: sure [11:20] but why? [11:20] legend2440: since I already have the partitions done the whole manual is just confusing [11:20] illriginal: wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update (that should do it) [11:21] hi there [11:21] if i could, iwant to send it to u [11:21] aRie_indonesian: thx, but I think I can download it by myself [11:22] can anybody help me debug this error in glxinfo? http://pastebin.com/m23429900 [11:22] My harddisk is used a lot by some program. How can i find out which one? [11:22] schasi: Harddisk space? Or do you mean CPU cycles? [11:23] hi all i am usin bittorent download client how can i make so i can only download files get files and NOT UPLOAD [11:23] how do i make a virus for ubuntu? [11:23] joking [11:24] deltaslaya: erm, I'm not sure we talk about that in here ;) [11:24] K [11:24] bittorent-proble: there is no such option in the standard bittorrent client, because if there were, bittorrent wouldn't work any more. bittorrent relies onother people uploading. [11:24] ok, I managed to partition my new installation of linux mint a bit wrong... I meant to give 5 GB for the linux system files, and 50 GB for my user folder and 2.5 GB to my swap... but my home directory is on the linux system part, and /media/disk ended up with all the space... how do I edit fstab to make it right? I copy the files from /home/myuser to /media/disk and then edit fstab to mount the big partition to /home ? [11:24] schasi: run "top" at a console and check the output (or via system monitor, don't know where it is in ubuntu, xubuntu myself) [11:24] haxt: i mean cpu cycles, but not quite [11:24] i want to go off, arie_viola@linuxmail.org byeee [11:24] bittorent-proble: you can limit your upload speed, though, to limit the impact on the performance of yor uploading [11:24] WELL MY SPEED GOES SLOW when i download and same time upload [11:24] drash, i think its in the powertop package [11:24] can I use Kismet as access point Linksys WAP54g in modality client? [11:24] bittorent-proble: keep in mind that if you limit you're upload speed, some trackers will lower your download speed too... [11:25] top shows firefox using 40% of the cpu, but nothing else. There is also changing but high "waiting" percentage [11:25] s/you're/your/ [11:25] deltaslay: u wanna be the ubuntuers enemy?? by make a virus?? [11:25] But that shouldn't come from firefox [11:25] thx lyzium [11:25] bittorent-proble: that's a common problem. limit your upload speed to about 80% of your maximum upload speed. that should solve your issues. [11:25] hi [11:25] hi! [11:25] don't lower it too much though, because if you upload too slow, your download will slow down, too. [11:26] schasi: are you on linux or windows? [11:26] any DRI/DRM gurus in here that can take a look at my LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo here http://pastebin.com/m23429900 [11:26] hey are we allowed to ask support type questions in here? [11:27] haxt: ubuntu linux [11:27] I read the topic... [11:27] nzcoops: yes, but it doesn't mean you will always get help. :) [11:27] nzcoops: the topic says "Official Ubuntu Support Channel" -- so ys [11:27] schasi: what firefox are you using? [11:27] Ah crap, now the harddisk isnt't hogged anymore... [11:27] haxt: beta 3, the hardy standard [11:27] ah cool, cheers [11:27] schasi: lol cool [11:27] schasi: problem solved? [11:27] schasi: no RC1 is out [11:27] somehow [11:27] how is firefox 3? [11:27] so I have a dual monitor setup I'm trying to get working [11:27] schasi: and beta 5 is what is with hardy [11:28] haxt: beta 5 is still the Hardy default, I thinks [11:28] I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 [11:28] Is there a way to find out which program does a lot of disk io atm? [11:28] adam7: i know, he said beta 3, i said beta 5, but i also said RC1 is out [11:28] I've read a few forums on this but can't find anything too clear === eth01 is now known as eth01``` [11:28] haxt: ah, ok, misunderstood you, sorry === eth01``` is now known as eth01 [11:28] I'm using an HP nx6120 laptop with a Fujitsu monitor plugged in [11:29] it recognises the monitor and the laptop screen fine [11:29] iostat could do what i wanted ;-) [11:29] has the right res on both etc [11:29] but I can't seen to do anything other than clone... [11:30] I've also noticed in xorg.conf that the info is nothing like what other people paste [11:30] mine says all this quite generic stuff and doesn't list the monitor details or anything... [11:30] any thoughts on what to try? [11:31] how do i kill a PID [11:31] lyzium: kill PID [11:31] Starnestommy, that was obvious hehe, thank you [11:31] lyzium: kill PID :) [11:33] anyone use openswan vpn ? [11:33] Does anyone know about the compiz conflicts in Hardy Heron with ATI drivers? [11:34] anyone here running proftpd? i think i shouldn't have deleted /home/ftp because it contained a welcome.msg anyone know the permissions to /home/ftp and whats inside the folder? [11:35] mudd`Hossam: dpkg -L proftpd [11:35] thanks drash! [11:36] mudd`Hossam: /home/ftp is owned by root/nogroup and contains welcome.msg which is owned by root/root and chmod 644 [11:36] I tried to install a GTK theme, and it said that I need the pixmap engine. I couldn't find this in the appearance panel, or in the repositories. Is there any way to install it, or am I missing something? Thanks. [11:36] lyzium: killall is your friend ;) [11:36] hey how do you save and quit in vi editor? [11:36] ah thank you [11:36] nzcoops: :wq [11:37] ta Starnestommy [11:37] gordonjcp: anything inside welcome.msg? or is that of my own choice?

I cant find how to complete the second lvl :) [11:41] hello. i have a problem on Hardy that wasn't on 7.10: i have no subtitles. not in vlc and not in Totem. although dragging the subtitle file onto a played movie on vlc shows subtitles, but then the movie can't be paused/controlled. please help! [11:41] i think it will be more expensive to let it recover i/o buy a new 1 [11:41] mistake: have someone.. [11:42] anon111: do you have gtk2-engines-pixbuf installed [11:42] AfroRowan: of course, it always is. You have to buy a new harddrive, anyway [11:42] is there some way to find out my processors architecture? [11:43] soundray: hmm, would it cost much if i ask them 2 make a list with files that on my hdd? [11:43] trapdoor: uname -a [11:43] trapdoor: it'll contain a string like '686' or 'ppc' or 'x86_64' [11:43] soundray: this only delivers the kernel version [11:43] legend2440: I do now. Thankyou very much. :) [11:43] 2.6.24-16-generic [11:43] soundray: that would be the kernel, but not necessary the hardware.. [11:44] no ArmA players? [11:44] trapdoor: cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:44] trapdoor: cat /proc/cpuinfo [11:44] AfroRowan: the effort would be the same, so I guess you won't get a discount [11:44] shiz [11:44] trapdoor: what do you need this for? [11:45] Pensa`MIA, mohamed_ thanks, that did it's job [11:45] soundray, choosing the right options for my "make.congf" [11:45] AfroRowan: is the drive not spinning up at all now? [11:45] trapdoor: for that, I reckon you need the kernel architecture rather than the processor (if they even differ) [11:46] soundray: dunno, cant hear it, the fan blows in my ear when i turn on my laptop, besides some1 told me to put my hdd in de fridge, should i ? [11:46] Zyna test [11:47] soundray, no it has to be the cpu's, programms get compiled for the cpu, not the kernel [11:47] AfroRowan: it won't do any harm, but it won't necessarily help either === user__ is now known as woodong50 [11:47] trapdoor: that's wrong. [11:47] okay [11:48] ima put back tha hdd in laptop and test it out [11:48] uh oh i am trying to ssh and after performing a "reboot 0" apache is up and running fine, but i get a connection refused through ssh [11:48] soundray, no, a programm gets compiled to assembler code, which is executed by the cpu... not the kernel [11:48] trapdoor: if you compile a program for a 64bit processor, it won't run on a 32bit kernel, even if it's running on a 64bit CPU [11:48] wow [11:49] How can I add a list with links in d4x? [11:49] trapdoor: do you even know what a kernel is? [11:49] soundray, yes, but i think you run a kernel which fits your cpu architecture [11:50] trapdoor: not necessarily, that's what I'm trying to tell you [11:50] soundray, yeah, you told me, allright now [11:50] trapdoor: you can run a kernel that only supports a subset of your CPU's features [11:51] trapdoor: then those features won't be available to your program [11:51] How can I add a list with links in d4x? [11:51] Spiritual: what is d4x ? [11:52] mohamed_, a copy of wget [11:52] soundray, but if you compile your kernel it uses your "make.conf" [11:52] downloader for x [11:53] trapdoor: are you compiling a kernel now, or a program? [11:54] I have file, mc says it's growing when viewing it. It's size if 0. fuser shows nothing... What's wrong? [11:54] Hi Guys....

[13:23] hari, it may be you have some odd network card and need to load the proper module. It would be a rare network card for linux to not see/detect it. [13:23] ha, finally i made it ... irc is running. :D [13:23] first success with linux.

[13:25] user__: I closed the document and reopened it, and now it highlights it correctly [13:26] i was in wubi and it crashed.. now whenever i try to boot it it goes to initramfs. any suggestions? [13:26] r00tintheb0x: use /nick nick :) [13:27] does concurrency=shell still break hardy? [13:27] does network manager use /etc/network/interfaces ? [13:27] gnuskool: "VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms" (from the website) [13:27] fatbrain: gedit surely uses some heuristics. i could not find an option for it in the gui. you may try another editor ("webeditor" or just emacs). I suppose those are more often used for this task [13:28] blahblahx: no, i have it set like that , so far no trouble ... [13:28] i used cheese but it's useless i can't configure my web... [13:28] drash: no problems with logout or network manager? Because that's what happened when i set it in gutsy. [13:29] andor, I was setting up XChat to autoconnect :P [13:29] user___: I will switch to vim, thanks :) [13:29] fatbrain, NANO and PICO are a little easier to use... if you're new to Linux. [13:29] r00tintheb0x: new to linux, but I don't want a crappy editor to crap my style :) [13:29] + I've used vim before [13:29] Ah okay. [13:29] blahblahx: no probs there for the time being, network manager runs smooth and logout also [13:29] As long as your comfortable w/it. [13:30] drash: cool. [13:30] r00tintheb0x: indeed, thanks [13:30] no problem :) [13:30] blasty: i'm hardwired, so your mileage may vary ;) [13:32] esperti di webcam?? [13:32] hi [13:33] hum.... [13:33] hello?

[13:42] 有没有人帮忙阿 [13:42] thanks soundfray! :P [13:42] kwagga: if that fails you could try to recover the partition table with gpart (not gparted) or testdisk [13:42] !cn | aohan237 [13:42] aohan237: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [13:42] yep [13:42] I have to say english [13:43] aohan237: you have to speak english in this channel yes.

[13:44] hi all [13:44] hi [13:44] anyone who can tell me something about irc [13:44] !irc | aohan237 [13:44] aohan237: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [13:44] aohan237, not here [13:44] i'm a fresh man [13:44] aohan237, ;-) [13:44] !guidelines | aohan237 (there you go) [13:44] aohan237 (there you go): The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that.

[13:45] user___ al file wmc mpeg [13:45] Can I set up wpa2 using ubuntu? or is it purely a hardware thing? [13:45] faceface: your hardware has to support it. [13:45] faceface.... it is possible... [13:45] faceface: depends if your card AND the driver ubuntu has supports it [13:45] I'll give you the command in a sec [13:45] i hope someone can assist me, when i plug my usb wifi in, it works for a while and then it disconnets and connects again, it does this quiet often [13:45] OK [13:45] kwagga: it seems that your MBR manipulation has resulted in a corrupt partition table. If fdisk can read it, it can probably fix it too. If you've caused some damage that goes deeper than that, you may or may not have lost data, so no promises. [13:45] irc with no code? just an login name? [13:46] faceface: what card is it? [13:46] who can tell me ? [13:46] thinking about it, ppl who visit may appreciate wpa rather than wpa2 [13:46] RIP ?????????? [13:46] kwagga, not sure... sorry dude [13:46] RIP ??????

[13:46] aohan237: please join in #ubuntu-offtopic as this is not a support question related to ubuntu. I gave you 2 links which have more then enough information about it. [13:46] hello, i just upgraded to hardy from gutsy and i'm having a couple of issues. the most prominent one is that gksu never starts up. if i try to start an administrative program (say gdmsetup) from the system menu, the "Starting Administrative application..." tab appears in the window list, but nothing more. if i check its process, it's marked "sleeping". if i try to start "sudo gdmsetup" it hangs just the same. has the command [13:46] line sudo been replaced? what's happening? [13:46] misieq: #c++ ? [13:46] misieq, try linux [13:47] fsufitch: please do a "sudo apt-get update" [13:47] kwagga: NTFS, by the way, is a file system. It only determines how your data is arrange inside the partition. The organization of the partition table itself has nothing to do with NTFS. [13:47] fsufitch: do you get an error/complaint about hostname [13:47] *arranged [13:47] i installed ubuntu on ausb stick, it boots, but after the login window i get a blank screen with a mouse cursor only, how can i fix this ? [13:47] faceface: have a look on the card... any names? model? if not type in a teminal: ifconfig... and give me the mac address. [13:47] ikonia: yes [13:47] fsufitch: you need to boot into a recovery shell and add your hostname to /etc/hosts to map to a localhost ip address (eg: 127.0.0.2) [13:47] tim167, does it loop [13:48] ikonia: lol, so my computer forgot itself? [13:48] Chapai: what do you mean exaclty by loop? how do i check that ? [13:48] ok then i try it .... I thought that someone's help can be more useful than that i study it by myself........ [13:48] fsufitch: no, it's a bug with the setup in certain situations [13:48] kwagga, HWaddr 00:0C:F1:04:40:67 [13:48] ikonia: ok [13:49] !elaborate | aohan237 [13:49] Chapai: the mousecursor is just the arrow, the blank screen is the ubuntu light-brown background [13:49] aohan237: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [13:49] i was wondering if it was the same problem as mine, it goes from blackscreen mouse pointer and black screen and over and over so far no fix tim167 [13:49] gidna: ubuntu 8.04? [13:49] does anyone know how to fix ruby gems after the OpenSSL patch that appears to have broken gems last week? [13:49] I want to find a girlfriend! [13:49] tim167... reconfigure the xserver [13:49] datatec: define broken [13:49] freeman: that is not for this channel [13:49] ikonia: my hosts file has these entries rite now: 127.0.0.1 localhost [13:49] 127.0.1.1 Mercury.Mercury [13:49] freeman: you've been asked twice to stop messing around [13:49] !girlfriend | freeman [13:49] Factoid girlfriend not found [13:49] faceface: standby [13:49] kwagga, is that the dpkg-reconfigure thing ? [13:50] my computer's hostname _is_ mercury [13:50] fsufitch: change mercury.mercury, to mercury [13:50] ikonia: ok [13:50] tim: yes [13:50] fsufitch: it has a bad domain extension [13:51] ikonia: every time you try to check for updates or communicate with gems it gives you the error "uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner (NameError)" [13:51] kwagga, strange, that only asks me about the keyboard, nothing about screen settings... [13:51] * faceface stands by [13:51] what channel for irc help ? [13:51] datatec: I'm not massivly aware on gems, give me a minute to have a quick read [13:51] ikonia: works now, thanks :) [13:51] fsufitch: no problem [13:51] fevet1, try #freenode [13:52] fevet1: #freenode or your client's help channel [13:52] sure ikonia, thanks [13:52] is ubuntu-restricted-extras all that I have to install for me to play dvds? [13:52] wers: no [13:52] !dvd | wers [13:52] wers: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [13:52] how come if i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it only sets keyboard settings and does nothing about the screen ? [13:53] tim: I'm not sure of the exact command to reconfig the xerver... either wait for a answer... or try googling it... sorry mate... will have a look for you in a sec [13:53] faceface: ta :) [13:53] ikonia: i actually have another problem; everything's lagging like heck. I don't know if this is because of some new service or something, but for example, my compiz cube flip runs through just 2 frames of the animation instead of being smooth as it was in gutsy. i disabled the file indexing (i don't need that!) but are there any other new possible memory hogs? [13:53] tim167: xorg is dynamic now [13:53] i'm trying to set up a samba server using swat. the webinterface on http://localhost:901 is only showing my a few menu items after i login with the standard user account that ubuntu created. how can i get access to all menu items? [13:53] ikonia, so how do i make it do the screen settings ? [13:53] faceface: pastebin the output from ifconfig for me please..... go to www.pastebin.com... and gimme the link [13:53] fsufitch: its it just graphical stuff, or the whole machine in general [13:53] tim167: edit your xorg [13:53] Hi! Anyone here familiar with any kind of problems with fglrx and AMD64 (4gb of ram) ? [13:54] tim167: your xorg.conf sorry [13:54] ikonia: manually ? [13:54] ok kwagga ... just swpping terminls [13:54] tom__: why don't you just tell us YOUR problem [13:54] tom__: other peoples problems are of no interest to you [13:54] the eh button is broken on this mchine [13:54] Hello, I have done "sudo apt-get install eterm" but when its done and I type eterm, I get "command not found" how do I start it? [13:54] tim167: depends, what are you trying to do [13:54] ikonia: well i would understand that if it didn't work before, on gutsy, but before the upgrade it worked fine and smoothly === ArrowLance_ is now known as ArrowLance [13:54] crille, it's an uppercase E :) [13:54] crille: I think it's Eterm [13:54] 0.o [13:54] been in that trap as well [13:54] very upsetting.. [13:54] maan, Im so stupid [13:55] ikonia, my problem is that the desktop wont load, i get a blank brown screen with mouse cursor, though i'm not sure it is xserver related [13:55] how do i disable the irrelevant information messages in irssi ? [13:55] ikonia, Becuase I'm having a very regular problem (apparently) with fglrx.. I'm running an AMD64 bit board w/ 4gb of ram, and I'm thinking fglrx is causing kernel panics.. and I was hoping someone in here was familiar with the issue. [13:55] tim167: what does the log file say [13:55] crille, i think it's their fault to break the convention [13:55] I just thought that because the package was called eterm.*.*.*, the command was the same [13:55] magnus_: as in join, part, quit, and nick messages? [13:55] fsufitch: is it just the graphcis that are slow though, or the whole machine [13:55] Starnestommy: exactly :) [13:55] ikonia:sorry for my ignorance, but where is that again ? [13:55] magnus_: /ignore #ubuntu joins parts quits nicks [13:55] tom__: so thats the question not "anyone have any problems with fglrx" [13:55] ikonia: whole machine. earlier it took me about 20 secs to open an xterm! [13:56] tim167: /var/log/ [13:56] fsufitch: thats graphical [13:56] Starnestommy: THanks!! :) [13:56] ikonia, Well, it's mor euseful to find someone who has been through the same kind of issue.. you're no good to me if you know absolutely nothing about fglrx and 64-bit kernel panics :-) [13:56] fsufitch: try logging into it remotly with ssh - see how it responds [13:56] user___: yes it Does that only if I'm already playing a flash video [13:56] ikonia: nano /var/log is empty [13:56] tom__: do you know anything about it ? [13:56] ikonia: my machine? allrite [13:56] tim167: the whole directory is empty [13:56] fsufitch: thats a big help, just to see how it responds [13:57] ikonia, Apparently not, as I'm baffled. Hint: That's why I asked "if anyone was familiar with fglrx and 64-bit .. with some kernel panic splashed in" [13:57] magnus_: just be careful with that. If someone that you were talking to left or change nicks, you'll get confused and may make an embarassing mistake [13:57] Ubuntu 8.04 desktop install hangs after "Loading Kernel" reaches 100%. The CD is constantly being read but nothing else is happening, it just reads the CD indefinitely. [13:57] Has anyone encountered this issue? [13:57] anyone know how to set up a samba server with swat on hardy server? [13:57] ikonia: is it dmesg ? [13:57] how do i change static ip on kubuntu ? [13:57] soundfray: http://pastebin.com/d34f207cf :: Help please buddy! [13:57] gidna: is the flash video finished but still "visible" (the end f.e. on youtube where you can replay or choose a similar video)? [13:57] dgts123: install swat, edit the xinetd.conf and browse with a webserver [13:57] how can i check what version of my graphic driver i am using? [13:57] tim167: no - [13:57] tim167: I just asked a question to you - is the whole of /var/log empty [13:58] ikonia: no [13:58] ikonia: it acts fine... maybe it's the new gnome? [13:58] tim167: right - so what is empty when you say "it's empty" [13:58] It seems that root doesnt use the murrinetheme I have chosen, how can I fix that? [13:58] fsufitch: be with you in one second [13:58] ikonia: allrite [13:58] askand: you shouldn't be looking in as root [13:58] how do i change static ip on kubuntu ? [13:58] ikonia, i did, my problem is that i don't get to see all the menu items ("shares" for example) when i login from another machine's browser with the standard ubuntu account [13:58] ikonia: i did 'nano /var/log' but that should be 'nano /var/log/dmesg', right ? [13:58] kwagga: I'll have a better chance of seeing your lines if you spell my nick correctly [13:58] Dummy-: does your ISP give you a static ip [13:58] tim167: no [13:58] tim167: /var/log is a directoy that contains the files [13:58] sorry soundray... [13:59] tim167: look in /var/log [13:59] ikonia: Im not, its just that every application I run with rootprivilegies is ugly as hell.. [13:59] ikonia: yes, looking at it now, what should i see ? [13:59] multitasking :P @ soundray [13:59] soundray: you might tell people about tab completion that would solve the issue permanently.. [13:59] tim167: can you see the xorg log [13:59] faceface: Got that output yet? [13:59] hi there - i have a consmetic problem with pulseaudio: I want to load a module wich accesses /dev/input/event1 (keyboard) but I can't run pulseaudio in root privliges which I would need if I directly use this "file-stream" -- any possible solution to that problem? [13:59] ikonia: yes [13:59] tim167: so....... [14:00] user___ : also if I stop the flash video file go slowly the other video [14:00] kwagga: fdisk does not see a partition table on your /dev/sdc (and it's /dev/sdc not /dev/scd -- it does matter!) [14:01] fsufitch: ok, so there are a few compiz plugins which can cause issues in certain senarios [14:01] kwagga: that means it doesn't have any partitioning. [14:01] fsufitch: what video card are you using, what drivers, [14:01] anyone know if you can put the readahead list files on a flash drive? [14:01] gidna: ok, while you have the flash plugin running it consumes memory and cpu resources - even of the movie is stopped. either you have not enough ram or slow processor or there is conflict between flash and movie player accessing sound card at the same time [14:01] ikonia: here is an example http://www.imagebam.com/image/64f0786408501 [14:01] soundray... what can I do to correct this? without loosing the data? [14:01] kwagga: it may still hold an NTFS filesystem, but I don't know anything about devices that are formatted like that, so I can't advise any further. [14:01] magnus_: in theory - I wouldn't suggest it === dino` is now known as quaker33332 [14:01] ikonia: ok.. [14:01] ikonia: hang on leme get the info [14:02] with ubuntut 7.10 i hadn't this problem.. === fevet1 is now known as fevets [14:02] askand: why have you shown me that ? [14:02] kwagga: I guess your best chance is to transfer the drive to a Windows system and see if you can read the data from there [14:02] soundray... thanks anyway! much appreciated! [14:02] thanks! [14:02] ikonia: ok but i'm not sure what to look for in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, i see it loaded "nv" module... [14:02] gidna: try the flash player 10 beta, it has some bugs related to what you're describing fixed [14:02] ikonia, no ... my router dhcp off [14:02] tim167: your using the nv module, do you have an nvidia video card ? [14:02] ikonia: Because that is the problem I have and wrote about when you told me not to login as root, I am not logging in as root but any apps I start as root looks like that and I want to change that. [14:02] ikonia, so i need set static ip [14:03] anyone in here that has successfully installed vmware-server?, im running ubuntu-server and i get this error message when it tryes to build the vmmon module: http://lurix.net/vmware.txt [14:03] Dummy-: so what do you want a static internet ip - or a static internal ip for your network [14:03] ikonia: it's an nvidia geforce FX 5200 === sheep is now known as Starnestommy [14:03] what command can i use to list the size of files and folders, ls -al doesnt show that? [14:03] and i'm using the proprietary driver [14:03] ikonia, internal ip not internet [14:03] ikonia: yes [14:03] mumu: du [14:03] mumu: du -h [14:03] Dummy-: ok, so open system --> administration --> network and assign one [14:03] tim167: and you just get a blank screen [14:04] fsufitch: do you have ccsm installed ? [14:04] ikonia: what is ccsm? i'm guessing "no"? [14:04] mumu: or Applications-Accessories-Disk Usage Analyzer [14:04] fsufitch: no problem [14:04] ikonia: yes, but *with* a mouse cursor and a light brown background, not the black terminal [14:04] ikonia: compiz settings manager? yes i do [14:04] fsufitch: sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm [14:05] tim167: Hmmm thats odd [14:05] ikonia: it's an essential part of your good compiz breakfast :) i don't know how people survive w/o it [14:05] fsufitch: mega, ok, can you fire it up please [14:06] ikonia: indeed, it doesnt look like a xorg problem to me...i think its rather just that it stops loading the desktop environment for some reason [14:06] after the latest updates on 8.04 when I try to write dvd dual layer it fails. I tried k3b and everything don't work, the files seems on the disk but I can't touch them. I tried also nero, it writes the dvd but on verify it stuck on 50%. I'm trying to add one file ~5GB [14:06] zoddan: http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-vmwareplayer-vmplayer-ubuntu-hardy-804#comment-6245 [14:06] ikonia: done [14:07] #ubuntu-es [14:07] !flash [14:07] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [14:07] ikonia: i'm getting a gconf error on my scale plugin [14:07] GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly. [14:07] fsufitch: ok, do you know how to reset it to "default" from that gui ? [14:08] I'm trying to save some files from a windows hard drive usgin a linux system recovery cd. The problem is that the french files with accent marks aren'r displayed. [14:08] Any ideas? [14:09] ikonia: i'm trying to figure it out [14:09] ikonia, i cant get any administrator menu , i using kubuntu [14:09] Dummy-: ? [14:09] ikonia, i dont know why ...

How are you mounting the drive? [14:11] Dummy-: look in your /etc/host file - is your machine host name in there ? [14:11] Ardorin: are you using the 'mount' command? [14:11] ikonia: allrite, got the defaults [14:11] soundray, I'm using ntfs-3g and using -0 utf8 switch. [14:11] fsufitch: ok, restart X and lets see how it's working [14:12] ikonia: hey-o it doesn't lag! [14:12] ikonia, i linux beginner , how to look ? [14:12] Ardorin: -0 is wrong, it should be -o [14:12] Dummy-: open the file /etc/hosts in a text editor [14:12] fsufitch: thought as much [14:12] fsufitch: some plugins can be a pain [14:12] ikonia: so i'll just enable plugins one by one and avoid the laggy ones [14:12] fsufitch: enable them one at a time until you find the one thats being a pain for you [14:12] soundray, Yeah, it was a typo. I did it right on the console. [14:12] how do i delete all files without dirs in a folder tree and leave one certain extension of the files intact ? [14:13] does anyone know how to fix this ?: i get a blank screen after the login window, light-brown screen with the normal arrow mouse cursor... thanks === harris is now known as harrizz [14:14] blame: what extension [14:14] Ardorin: utf8 may or may not be good, but you have to set nls=utf8 as well (or whatever charset was used by Windows -- iso8859-15 perhaps?) [14:14] blame: rm -rf `ls | grep -v grep | grep -v .keep` [14:14] blame: that removes everyting but .keep files [14:14] I'm trying to troubleshoot some sound problems, and I'm wondering what are the "mixer" packages for exactly in relation to using ALSA? e.g. alsamixer, qamixer, etc. [14:15] ikonia: what's the grep -v grep for? [14:15] ikonia, wat the command ? [14:15] ikonia: multiple files and file extensions I'd like to delete all files but files with extensions *.doc [14:15] soundray: a typo as it wasn't ps ;) [14:15] blame: ok so rm -rf `ls | grep -v .doc` [14:15] sorry to come and go [14:16] soundray, That nls= thing on the mounting options? [14:16] Dummy-: open it with any text editor you want/like [14:16] help. I'm about to install ubuntu 8.04, but I'm concerned about the fact that it's not detecting my nvidia card, so it doesn't think it should install restricted drivers. This wasn't the case with 7.10. I got an nvidia 8600m GT [14:16] Ardorin: yes [14:16] ikonia, wait i try [14:16] sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev [14:16] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [14:16] libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.12.9-3ubuntu2) but 2.12.9-3ubuntu3 is to be installed [14:16] Steven_Office: did you try the new pulseaudio system instead of/on top of alsa ? [14:16] how could I downgrade the libgtk2.0? [14:17] i get a blank screen after logging in, light brown background with mouse cursor, any ideas please ? [14:17] EshiKaio: how did you upgrade it in the first place ? [14:17] ikonia, I should be using apt-get [14:17] thanks ikoniaI I had been confusing myself with "find" and "xargs" and all that [14:17] EshiKaio: no, how did you install upgrade it in the first place [14:17] ikonia, but dont know which repo [14:18] apt-get update; apt-get upgrade? [14:18] blame: find and xargs would be an acceptable way of doing it too [14:18] ikonia: thx, it works now :) [14:18] aptitude [14:18] fsufitch: no problem [14:18] drash: Was that for me I assume? [14:18] EshiKaio: there's an option in Synaptic to force a specific version of any package you want [14:18] draconius, pls advice thx [14:18] drash, [14:18] anyone knows where I can have some help programming with java? I know the channel is ##java, but which server I have to use? [14:18] Steven_Office: yes, just asking what your sound problem is ... [14:18] blame: in fact, I would recommend doing it with find and xargs if any of your filenames contain odd characters, such as spaces. [14:19] newbie: it's this server [14:19] newbie: freenode [14:19] newbie: you also need to be registered in order to join that channel [14:19] My dmesg includes 2 'quirks' (lines 109 and 110 in http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/216986/). Is a PCI quirk a minor error or has Ubuntu removed a minor PCI error? [14:19] but wait ikonia I think this syntax wipes out directories as well I wanted to use recurse and delete all files without the folders as well as the excluded *.doc extension [14:19] bullgard1: why is that a problem ? [14:20] Starnestommy, ohh now I understand why I could not access the channel. Could you tell me how can I register for that? [14:20] blame: yes, that will do directories [14:20] drash: BTW my nick is "Steve-cal" not Steve-Office. :) I'm having problems with choppy/shaky music playback, regardless of which audio player I use, and even under low CPU usage. [14:20] blame: don't use -r then [14:20] newbie: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [14:20] what's a good rss reader to use? [14:20] Starnestommy, thanks dude :) [14:20] soundray, Now i'm gettin gproblems from the pendrive. [14:20] It cant copy the files with weird names. [14:20] ikonia: I do not know why dmesg includes these two lines. Can you tell me that? [14:20] I can now read them from my hard drive, but they won't be copied to my floppy,. [14:21] soundray: what would be the syntax with find and xorgs? something like find. -type f | xargs something .. [14:21] what can I open an RPM with? [14:21] bullgard1: it's telling you that device has a "quirk" [14:21] bacta better to search for it in repos [14:21] drash, saw it, thx [14:21] it's not there [14:21] but I have an rpm [14:21] Ardorin: is it displaying the accented characters when you 'ls'? [14:21] what can I do? [14:21] bacta what file [14:21] Bacta: what software is it [14:21] EshiKaio: Steve_cal sorry, tab-completion mistake of my part .. i've gone through a series of changes that i got from ubuntuforums on that matter, i'll look for the bookmark, brb [14:21] ikonia: And what is a "quirk"? Do you know that and can tell me? [14:22] VMWare [14:22] bacta that is in repos [14:22] bullgard1: I don't know without more research [14:22] No, soundray, I get mars. [14:22] it doesn't work [14:22] won't install for me [14:22] I get question marks. [14:22] And things like that. [14:22] bullgard1: it looks like it's just had resources taken away from it and re-assigned b acpi [14:22] On my /etc/nework/interfaces file i want to setup a static ip, on most guides it does it using the auto etho but in mine its running on auto lo, anybody no why this would be ? [14:22] I get question marks.ls [14:22] bacta the rpm will work less [14:22] bullgard1: doesn't look anything major [14:22] r2d2_: lo is your loopback address [14:22] well it won't let me do it on synaptic [14:22] r2d2_: don't worry about that [14:22] I have an RPM [14:22] bullgard1: a quirk is a strange thing that isn't usually a major problem [14:22] is there anyway i can install this? [14:22] Ardorin: can you give me the exact line that you used for mounting the device please [14:22] Bacta: forget about the rpm [14:22] bacta no one instalss vmware that way [14:23] so if i just go ahead and add the auto etho config under it that will work ikonia [14:23] "Error [14:23] #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" === Raf is now known as Rafik [14:23] r2d2_: yes, if your device is called eth0 [14:23] ikonia, Starnestommy: Right. [14:23] Bacta: it's more trouble than downloading the Ubuntu package [14:23] Xorothal: -p for password [14:23] Steve_cal: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 .. it's a read ;) [14:23] ikonia, i'm using phpmyadmin [14:23] Xorothal: next time try to give more info [14:23] what do I search for in Synaptic [14:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13018/ any way around this annoying problem? I can't even get Live-CD to boot (tried 7.04, 8.04 and 8.04-64bit) :( [14:23] well it is yes but if i try configure it through the nwetork gui interface it doesnt recognise the device [14:23] because the vmware player package won't do it [14:23] Xorothal: looks like your grants aren't setup right [14:24] ? [14:24] Bacta, apt-cache search vmware [14:24] r2d2_: probably because eth0 doesnt exist on your system [14:24] r2d2_: look at "ifconfig -a" do you see an eth0 [14:24] vmware-server Bacta [14:24] then how am i connected ? [14:24] ikonia, it was working about an hour ago [14:24] r2d2_: wirless ? [14:24] lemme look.... [14:24] no [14:24] Xorothal: so what have you changed ?

[14:25] i installed various mysql-related packages [14:25] 1sec [14:25] Xorothal: so not really "i've changed nothing" [14:25] what am i lookin for exactly ikonia with that cmd cos a load of info has come up [14:25] r2d2_: your looking for a device called eth0 [14:25] yup [14:25] r2d2_: or a device thats not lo [14:25] it exists [14:25] ikonia, sorry, but I didn't think the packages I installed would have had any effect on the config [14:25] r2d2_: so ifconfig eth0 brings back display [14:25] I installed: python-mysqldb mysql-client [14:26] u lost me sorry [14:26] ikonia, and yes, mysql is running [14:26] r2d2_: if you do an ifconfig eth0 do you get info with an ip [14:26] Xorothal: connect on the command line for a test [14:26] lemme see [14:26] Xorothal: I suspect that now with mysql-client phpadmin is authing against that [14:26] ikonia, have done, and it works [14:26] yup [14:26] there is something wrong with my scim ,it can't input in opera.does anyone who can help me? [14:26] r2d2_: what ip do you get ? [14:27] 192.168.0.3 [14:27] hchufeng, works with firefox?

[14:28] hi, I experience a critical bug in 8.04 but I have no idea how to file it since GDM is crashing. Please help. [14:28] ikonia, so how can i set it to do so? [14:29] r2d2_: look in /etc/resolv.conf to see what you currently have [14:29] Xorothal: look in the config file there must be an option that says "use password" or something like that [14:29] what command can i use to empty the content of specific folder [14:29] What is the function or role of the Kconfig files? Is Linus Torvald's /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt the definition for the Kconfig files? [14:29] nogeek: can you elaborate [14:29] mumu: rm [14:29] mumu: rm -r [14:29] bullgard1: join #kernel [14:29] if i want to remove all files in it [14:29] ? [14:30] bullgard1: the are basic build instructions for kbuild [14:30] mumu: rm -r folder/* [14:30] nice!! [14:30] bullgard1: you'll get more info in #kernel [14:30] I'm trying to bind KP_Enter to "Switch to workspace 1", but the box tells me i cannot use it because it would be impossible to type with this key. I don't really care if i have to hit return instead of enter, but i want to bind the key. Is there a way to override gnome's "protection" and bind the key anyway? === Araneidae_ is now known as Araneidae [14:31] might there be a problem accessing mac dvds from kubuntu? i have some that are dual PC/Mac which work fine under XP, have not tried Mac. When trying to install under kubuntu I get access errors like i'm not allowed access to them. i can still get at the data as root... here is the output of ls -l: http://rafb.net/p/HnjkQu96.htm [14:31] JackWinter, data or other [14:31] its definitely not a xorg problem, i copied my xorg.conf file from a working installation on the same computer, but still i get a blank brown screen with mouse cursor after the login screen.. can someone help ? === fstxx___ is now known as fstxx [14:32] Guys! What script initializes X-server? [14:32] Rediska [14:32] niketas: gdm [14:32] ikonia: I will take into consideration what you have just told me about Kconfig. -- Thank you.

[14:32] niketas: x11-common [14:32] need help for installing HLDS on ubuntu [14:33] niketas: it's launched by gdm, which is launched by /etc/init.d/gdm [14:33] need help for installing HLDS on ubuntu [14:33] bazhang: data (some install disks) [14:33] aCCe-: we saw you ask 5 seconds ago [14:33] JackWinter, install for what [14:34] soundray: starting some videos in totem can make GDM crash, i.e. new log-in required. I see no pattern. Same issue with Kaffeine (which I use for DVB-T). Here the STOP-function leaves the last image in the window -- alike PAUSE. When covering this left window for a while with others, putting it back in front causes the same GDM-crash. Understandable? === insomnia_ is now known as anabolix [14:34] I can do a sudo cp -r /cdrom ., and then i have to do a chown.... seems like a wasteful way of installing... [14:34] JackWinter, installing what [14:35] bazhang: it's the installation disks for a windows VST called BFD v2 (a drum sampler). [14:35] JackWinter, why not wine [14:35] nogeek: don't report this against gdm, though. It's an xorg problem -- probably of the video driver. What's your card? [14:35] Has anyone had any success getting xD or other flash cards working in Ubuntu? [14:36] soundray: intel 945, Acer laptop [14:36] Xpistos, I have a card reader in my laptop, and it works fine for every type of card I've tested. [14:36] nogeek: and you're using the intel or i810 driver? [14:36] bazhang: I can only access the DVD as root..! much as i love my wine sequencer, I don't wanna run wine as root ;) [14:36] tom_ have you had to install any different drivers? [14:36] Xpistos, Negative. It all worked out of the box [14:36] My reader acts like it is reading, but never sotps [14:37] Hmm? [14:37] what version of ubuntu are you using [14:37] JackWinter, that is odd-->this a dvd you burned yourself? [14:37] Starnestommy: alright. If i wanna use new keyboard map and I need to put a string "/usr/bin/xkbcomp /path/to/your/home/dir/.xkb_config $DISPLAY" [14:37] soundray: how do I know? [14:37] Starnestommy: shall i put it to gdm? [14:37] Xpistos, 8.04. [14:37] hmm [14:37] nogeek: from /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:37] It detects it, and automountsi t. my card reader is built into my laptop, though. === SasukeStorm is now known as MetalGrayFox [14:37] niketas: I don't know [14:38] nogeek: this file should hold some information about the crash as well, before it restarts [14:38] What's the package I need to install to get Java to work in firefox?

[14:40] nogeek: you might log in on a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F2), do a 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop', then run X with startx, reproduce the crash, then make a copy of the log file in your home directory with 'cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~' [14:40] soundray: (II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, etc | (--) Chipset 945GM found [14:41] nogeek: i810 then.

[14:43] dmsuperman: sun-java6-plugin is only available for i386. Is that what you're on? [14:43] dmsuperman: tried Firefox-ing your way to Sun's website and taking their java test ? That might be another route to tackle your problem.. [14:43] speak italian ? [14:43] !it [14:43] Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [14:43] dmsuperman, about:plugins in the FF address bar will list current plugins [14:43] soundray, yes [14:43] nogeek: did you see my line about how to gather information about the crash?

[14:44] dmsuperman: you need to restart firefox once you've installed the sun-java6-plugin package [14:44] dmsuperman-> if it is not listed in about:plugins it must be added then [14:44] dmsuperman, Then i'm clueless brother. [14:44] soundray, I didn't even have firefox open [14:44] tom__, :( [14:44] tim167: X should be on VT7 (alt-ctrl7) [14:44] tim167, screen 0 is at ctrl+alt+f7 [14:45] amenado, if it's _not_ in about:plugins then it _is_ installed? [14:45] ctrl-alt-F7 [14:45] soundray: I just try to grasp it. I'll print it and then do it. Where could the crash be recorded already? what do I have to look for? [14:45] dmsuperman-> if it is not listed in about:plugins it must be added then [14:45] LimCore: it is on alt-ctl F7 but its a blank brown screen [14:45] amenado, that makes no sense, plus any page that needs java still has the missing plugin thing [14:45] dmsuperman, is there anything in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ ? [14:45] dmsuperman-> if you dont like to listen, then you are on your own [14:45] anyone with Truecrypt experience here? [14:45] scunizi: at screen 0 i get a blank brown screen with mouse cursor [14:45] tom__, a flash plugin [14:45] nogeek: when X has just crashed, the information goes into Xorg.0.log. When gdm restarts, it will get overwritten. [14:45] amenado, I did listen... [14:45] tim167: whats the result of ps -e | grep compiz ? [14:46] DjViper, what is your question [14:46] help a newbie (me!) I just got a sansa e260 v1, and loaded rockbox on successfully, I was wondering how I connect to it via ubuntu [14:46] exit [14:46] tim167: strange, what video card [14:46] Nith: i'll check hold on... [14:46] bazhang: after installing and creating a volume, how come my permissions is fubar? ie. home directory can't be read from my user [14:46] only root [14:46] tim167, that means gdm didn't start right for some reason.. could be because it didn't detect your video card correctly. [14:46] nogeek: the information you need should be at the end of the file. If you report a bug against xorg, it's no mistake to attach the entire log. [14:46] Nith: no output at all [14:46] hello this is not really a ubuntu question but a php under ubuntu question [14:47] DjViper, what tutorials did you follow [14:47] hello guys i need a tutorial for dual monitors with ubuntu, but my monitors needs different resolutions, notbook (standard) monitor 1280x800 and the vga monitor 1024x768, someone who knows a how to or something for that? [14:47] scunizi: i tried fixing it by copying xorg.conf from a previous install on the exact same computer... [14:47] amenado, how have I not listened? You asked a question that I didn't get, and I said it made no sense. I've answered everybody's questions to the best of knowledge and ability :S [14:47] why do i have this error Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagefilter() [14:47] tim167: have you ever got X running before? [14:47] is there any software like skype using video chat [14:47] bazhang: none? [14:47] DjViper, just winged it? [14:47] bazhang: pretty much yes? heh [14:47] skeeel: because imagefilter() is not a defined function [14:48] Nith, yes, on the same computer, but another harddrive, and an older ubuntu (now i try 8 on a usb stick) [14:48] DjViper, do you remember what you did? [14:48] skeeel: or the extension that provides it isn't loaded [14:48] i installed php5-gd [14:48] soundray: can I then also after a crash just shut down and boot into XP and copy the log from here? [14:48] Starnestommy, which ext is it , do you know ? [14:48] hello guys i need a tutorial for dual monitors with ubuntu, but my monitors needs different resolutions, notbook (standard) monitor 1280x800 and the vga monitor 1024x768, someone who knows a how to or something for that? [14:48] rouini: thousands .. any more details on what you're specifically looking for ? [14:48] tim167: so you're running from a live usb stick? [14:48] hi, where are located the files of a programm ? I must add a map file into the map folder of some video game, where will i find this ? [14:48] Nith: i'm still confused,,isn't X already running? since i got the login screen and i get a mouse cursor now... ? [14:48] bazhang: download deb, installed, created volume (AES), normal settings, mounted... crapped [14:48] nogeek: only if you have an ext3 filesystem driver for Windows [14:48] Nith: yes [14:49] nogeek: sorry, have to leave [14:49] tom__, could it be that I have firefox-2 installed? would that really matter? [14:49] tim167: yes but I mean when was the last time you successfully logged in [14:49] soundray: thanks yes I do [14:49] clee-saan: it should usually be in the .game folder [14:49] DjViper, this a new install or lots of precious data in there [14:49] skeeel: did you restart apache after installing it? [14:49] hello guys [14:49] dmsuperman, I'm not sure. Because I run 64-bit, I used to have Firefox3b5, and firefox2 installed.. ran into some problems.. then found "gnash" to replace flash.. so it just could be. [14:49] i am a newcomer to linux [14:49] bazhang: new install [14:49] Nith: on the usb stick, never, i get the login screen (graphical) and after that always the 'empty desktop' [14:49] drash: give me some name please [14:49] DjViper i no a nice tutorial link for truecrypt if u want it ? [14:49] bigboss_: welcome [14:50] r2d2: sure [14:50] Starnestommy, yes i resolve a previous error i had (imagecreatefromgif()) but now i have this one [14:50] ramukmar: and where is this game folder located ? I man the pathway from the hard drive [14:50] http://www.howtoforge.com/truecrypt-with-gui-on-ubuntu-7.10 [14:50] clee-saan, depends on the game but typically in your home directory.. /home//. notice the dot at the end.. sometimes the directories are hidden.. go to places/home from the menu and when the window pops up hit ctrl+h to view the hidden stuff.. [14:50] DjViper, best to follow a tutorial because with encryption there is no second chance :) [14:50] tom__, ah, it _is_ a bug with having firefox-2 [14:50] tom__, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/211309 [14:50] you have to create a new group wiht permissions or sommit, see page 2 [14:50] skeeel: what program are you trying to run that needs that function? [14:50] Launchpad bug 211309 in icedtea-gcjwebplugin "[hardy] Java plugin not registered in Firefox 2" [Undecided,Fix committed] [14:50] Hey all, does anyone know if packages.ubuntu.com is down? [14:50] rouini i can't for the life of me remember the last time i video-chatted (if ever) ;) clueless [14:50] dmsuperman, Sweet. Found your answer! [14:50] clee-saan: it's in your home folder, show hidden folders...and you'll see them [14:50] mechdave, was earlier [14:50] Starnestommy, a addons for oscommerce [14:50] that works with 8.04 also [14:51] bazhang: hhe, well I haven't encrypted my /home dir [14:51] DjViper, phew :) [14:51] drash: i want to install like skype features [14:51] bazhang, thanks, that is why I can't get to it :) [14:51] mechdave :) [14:51] bazhang: but for some reason truecrypt changes the permissions on all dirs [14:51] I think I'll use ingburn with wine for dual layer dvds until the problem fixed.. 4 dvds failed with k3b and nero [14:51] rouini: but not skype itself ? [14:51] tom__, and there's a fix in the comments, it seems to have worked [14:52] DjViper, see that tutorial all we be clear :P [14:52] ramukmar: okay, no map folder here. I guess i'll ask on the game's IRC [14:52] ramukmar: thanks anyway [14:52] clee-saan: just curious...this game, is it tremulous? [14:52] drash: of course help me [14:52] tim167: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=728341 this seems to be a similar problem in 6.10, it might apply to you [14:52] hello guys i need a tutorial for dual monitors with ubuntu, but my monitors needs different resolutions, notbook (standard) monitor 1280x800 and the vga monitor 1024x768, someone who knows a how to or something for that or can help me with that?

[14:58] is there any software like skype using video chat in Ubuntu 8.04 [14:58] fine, i'll give it another shot [14:58] rouini, ekiga [14:58] i really liked mirc to tell you the truth [14:58] cypha: did u try chatzilla? :) [14:58] i could do everything i wanted in mirc [14:58] and soooo many scripts available [14:58] i haven't magnus [14:58] should i? [14:58] cypha: i dont know ;) [14:58] cypha: imho, kvirc is the closest to mirc in terms of interfaces, but irssi is the closest in scripting ability [14:58] lol [14:59] Nith: it says i need at leas 4GB to install ubuntu, my usb stick is officially 4GB, but in practice it can only use 3.5GB or so, would that be a problem ? [14:59] cypha: mirc can also be run in wine [14:59] Question: I've got an old Toshiba 335CDS that is dropping to busybox during boot because it doesn't recognize the UUID for the hard drive. If I enter 'modprobe ide-generic' in busybox, then exit, the boot continues normally. Is there a way I can specify a boot option to force the use of ide-generic? [14:59] Hello, I have a big problem. I have updated mu ubuntu and after reboot my resolution is 800x600 and I can't change it to normal resolution... PLease HELP ME!!! on pvt? [14:59] I would like to open PHP files in gedit from Gnome commander. Any idea how to do it by double-click? [14:59] k starnestommy: but are premade scripts readily available? [14:59] Hello, I have a big problem. I have updated mu ubuntu and after reboot my resolution is 800x600 and I can't change it to normal resolution... PLease HELP ME!!! on pvt? [14:59] how can i get the sound configuration from the hardy live cd without a new installation? ( i already upgraded to hardy) [14:59] i actually haven't installed wine [14:59] Hie everyone. Can anyone help me with runing 8.04 on an intel card and 1650x1050 display? Keeps hanging the system... [14:59] cypha: there are several on irssi's website, and many more elsewhere on the internet [14:59] cypha: try it its nice [14:59] scunizi :how to use ekiga in video chat [14:59] i've been setting up my ubuntu one thing at a time [14:59] Hello, I have a big problem. I have updated mu ubuntu and after reboot my resolution is 800x600 and I can't change it to normal resolution... PLease HELP ME!!! on pvt? [15:00] magnus: try what? [15:00] scunizi: I have an old pc that runs 7.10 just fine, but ive always had problems mounting a second internal hdd, now i want to start fresh with 8.04 [15:00] by the way, what's the difference between dpgk, --purge, rm, and apt-get remove?? [15:00] rouini: there's some detailed info at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4839621 [15:00] rouini, will you be talking with another ekiga user or is the other person using something else? if so what? [15:00] cypha: other than them doing completely different things? :/ [15:00] This place is too much crowded, too many people into a room, I think this room may need a splitting [15:01] someone told me to --purge something before to make sure it completely was gone [15:01] otherwise, i usually see apt-get remove [15:01] cypha: apt-get remove essentially does dpkg -r, which does rm in a controlled manner [15:01] and rm seems to be delete smoething [15:01] Why does it say I have no graphics card driver in Screens and Graphics? I have the Intel 945 GMA and it works fine for resolution but under 'driver' is says 'none' [15:01] cypha: --purge removes configuration files too [15:01] cypha: rm just removes a file [15:01] so best is to --purge? [15:01] Dizkonnekted, if you install fresh with the second drive installed already it should recognize it and give you access.. If you have the system already installed and then put the HD into the machine, you typically have to edit fstab [15:02] so that all remnants of a package are gone? [15:02] cypha: only if you want to get rid of the configuration [15:02] cypha: sometimes you don't want that [15:02] ok, so if i took a long time setting up the config for the thing, and i may want the thing in the future...i should not --purge [15:02] scunizi: is there anther software [15:02] cypha: yes. [15:02] Hi everyone. Can anyone help me with runing 8.04 on an intel card and 1650x1050 display? Keeps hanging the system... [15:02] cool [15:02] I'll try the supergrub then [15:02] Hi. I am trying to open PHP files in gedit from Gnome commander (via double-click). But it tells me something about that I have to set application/x-php in Control Center. But there is nothing like this...any idea? [15:03] cypha: you could also just take a copy of the config, though. :) [15:03] szaybus, works for me [15:03] what about apt-get remove? that just does purge without removing the config files? [15:03] what do you mean take a copy of the config? [15:03] rouini, use skype on ubuntu if the other user is using skype.. linux version now has video [15:03] szaybus, I use intel chip and 1650x1050 without problem [15:03] cypha: copy the config file somewhere in order to store it [15:03] cypha: nothing special, just a copy :P [15:03] ohoh, i see [15:04] how do i see what each program is using as its config file? [15:04] scunizi:did you know kopete [15:04] cypha: you need to read their manual to know that [15:04] oh [15:04] i see [15:04] and all files for a program aren't kept in a single folder, right? [15:04] it's all over the partition? [15:04] usually it's something in /etc, or in your home directory. [15:04] well, not all over, but yes [15:05] that's why we have packages [15:05] k, makes sense [15:05] to make it easier to install and remove applications [15:05] hello [15:05] what's the difference between a directory and a folder? [15:05] cypha: chatzilla its easy to hide joins nicks etc there, and has a nice gui [15:05] cypha: just the name. [15:05] cypha: just the terminology [15:05] oh [15:05] cypha: they're traditionally directories on UNIX, and folders on windows [15:05] but a directory is .directory ? [15:05] no. [15:05] as opposed to /whatever/ [15:05] I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753, [15:06] I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753, PLEASE HELP ME [15:06] what's the . ? [15:06] hello to all! [15:06] I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753, PLEASE HELP ME on pvt [15:06] cypha: a directory is a folder and a folder is a directory :) [15:06] rouini, no.. but kopete is kinda like pidgin [15:06] cypha: thought the . makes it a hidden folder [15:06] cypha: a . at the start of a file or directory name makes it hidden [15:06] cypha: the . is a traditional unix way of marking hidden files [15:06] what does the . mean then? at the beginning [15:06] ohh [15:06] ok [15:06] cypha: it works for both directories and files [15:06] I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753, PLEASE HELP ME on pvt [15:06] cypha: the .folders are also where config files usually go [15:06] anyone here using intel 965 on a 16:10 display and hardy? [15:06] !repeat > Sladjannn [15:06] (because directories are files, in unix) [15:06] i see [15:06] hi i have this problem "cdrom:[Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071017)]/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs" [15:07] and what does that mean......a directory is a file? [15:07] i've ehard that a few times now [15:07] I've enabled enhanced desktop effects, and now whatever menu or window is in focus has a purple glow around it. How do i change the color of this glow? [15:07] scunizi: you are a new user or old one [15:07] cypha: it means that it behaves a lot like any other file [15:07] cypha: to the user that often doesn't matter, but it's visible if you program for unix. [15:07] here is a question: I am having trouble with my dell dj ditty. When I plug it in i get a mtp error. Anyone have ideas on how to address this? I have libmtp7 already installed [15:07] scunizi: Thanks for the response, I have the drives already installed, I was hoping to find a good guide on how to make the best use of them, partition size guides that kind of thing, looks like I'll have my work cut out then!! :\ [15:07] rouini, New? Old? 3+yrs with ubuntu and I'm over 45 yrs old. [15:08] suliman: put a # at the start of the first line of /etc/apt/sources.list with gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [15:08] cool [15:08] scunizi:you are very kind [15:08] i have a problem with MySQL. I cannot enter to it and create a my first database. I have so problem - "slavik@slavik-laptop:~$ sudo mysqladmin -u root password MyPassword [15:08] [sudo] password for slavik: [15:08] mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed [15:08] error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)' [15:08] slavik@slavik-laptop:~$ [15:08] " [15:08] Dizkonnekted, partitioning is a different matter.. / should be about 8-12 gigs /swap 1 gig max and /home the rest. unless you want to break out /usr and /var [15:08] scunizi: i wasn't able to get my microphone going in skype, although i had no trouble with the video [15:08] Slavi3: add a -p to that command [15:09] hi, i can't get access to http://packages.ubuntu.com , can someone help me? [15:09] Starnestommy : thank you [15:09] !paste | Slavi3 [15:09] Slavi3: 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) [15:09] cypha: for example, a "." at the beginnin of a filename marks any file hidden. because directories are files, this automatically applies to them as well. :) [15:09] slaci3 check if mysqld is runing [15:09] *slavi3 [15:09] PPKuma: it's been down intermittently for a while [15:09] cypha, mic seems to be a problem for me all the time on 8.04.. it's weird.. I think it has something to do with an intel onboard cound card. [15:09] chousake: so what if i don't know if it's hidden or not..can i no longer call it /whatever ? [15:10] scunizi: mine has never worked [15:10] Starnestommy: oh... yesterday someone told me here the site was working ok... [15:10] cypha, 7.10 worked great. [15:10] cypha: changing the input source from "mic" to something else and back fixes it for me [15:10] scunizi: where are you from [15:10] I have a problem, I have updated mu ubuntu 7.10 and now I cant change resolution to 1024x753, PLEASE HELP ME on pvt [15:10] Starnestommy: thank you! i wil try to do it... [15:10] hi [15:10] cypha: strange though [15:10] I need help [15:10] Starnestommy: is that why the apt-get is not working? [15:10] <_< [15:10] PPKuma: packages.ubuntu.com usually isn't used by apt-get [15:10] I need help installing video driver [15:10] rouini, a little of everywhere. now in us [15:11] cypha: you always know whether a file is hidden or not [15:11] for mic issues and a possible solution --> http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu#audio_issues [15:11] >_> [15:11] how? [15:11] cypha: a hidden file's name *always* has the . at the front [15:11] meh..... when u done helping him, PM me. [15:12] how will i see it if it's hidden? [15:12] and how will i know it exists? [15:12] scunizi:you are using Ubuntu 8.04 ? or what [15:12] well most filemanagers can show you hidden files [15:12] Starnestommy: so... i have a problem. Is there any command i can diagnose why the apt-get is not working? [15:12] scunizi: Thanks, Do you have any guidance about setting up the user(s) /home folder? [15:12] drash, hardy isn't alsa based.. [15:12] then why even hide it in the first place [15:12] Where am I? [15:12] rouini, yes [15:12] cypha: it might be a good idea to turn on viewing of hidden files in any GUI based file manger you use to get the hang of it [15:12] cypha: because you might not want to always see it [15:12] anyone with experience with intel 965 graphics? cant get x to work in 1650x1050 - it hangs the system, the open intel drivers dosent change anything, anyway to downgrade xserver in 8.04 to stable? [15:12] PPKuma: run "sudo apt-get update" then look for any error messages [15:13] yeah, even in windows i always had hidden files viewable [15:13] they just had a transparent tint [15:13] Dizkonnekted, not sure I understand that question.. you can place it on a different drive if you want. [15:13] Starnestommy: ok, will do that, thanks [15:13] I need help >_> [15:13] scunizi: no, but with pulseaudio it can work together like clockwork, also on top of alsa [15:13] how to upgrade ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 by CD [15:13] scunizi: i have amd is good or bad? [15:13] cypha: for example, the command line utility "ls" only shows hidden files if you give it the "-a" option. that is, "ls -a" [15:13] scunizi: it says i have nvidia sound stuff, but my sound stuff is an onboard intel [15:13] Souler: what kind of video card are you using? [15:13] amd is good [15:13] I use Nvidia [15:13] chousuke, good to know [15:14] but... I can't downoad any drivers from Nvidia website [15:14] suliman: I think you need the alternate CD for that [15:14] I need to use my support page at HP [15:14] but then [15:14] rouini, there's no real answer to that. [15:14] I cant find any for linux [15:14] Souler: are you trying to download nvidia drivers for your graphics card? [15:14] anyway to downgrade xserver in 8.04 to stable? [15:14] cypha: just hit ctrl-h in nautilius to show hidden files [15:14] The ones I download from Nvidia webpager..... they dont work [15:14] cypha: actually another way to view hidden files is "ls .*" ("ls all files that start with a .") [15:14] ya [15:14] how to alternate [15:15] I need drivers for linux [15:15] what's nautilus? [15:15] scunizi: people here prefer intel [15:15] Souler: use the hardware drivers managert [15:15] suliman: I don't remember [15:15] Souler: what driver [15:15] I did [15:15] cypha: it's gnome's file manager [15:15] problem is [15:15] oh ok [15:15] !enter [15:15] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [15:15] drash, I'll give it a try.. haven't tried that solution yet [15:15] I got no internet connection on Linux [15:15] cypha: most configuration files that are in your home directory are hidden in this manner [15:15] yeah, i'm in gnome, although i still don't know why one would choose gnome over the others [15:15] thanks [15:15] scunizi: Sorry, I was wondering what you would suggest for making the best possible space available for each user(s) [15:15] rouini, less issues sometimes.. espicailly on laptops from what I understand. [15:16] scunizi: i'm looking for the url, very informative new stuff on that front, brb, it's on pulseaudio.org wiki somewhere [15:16] chousuke: k, i'll start using -a as a habit if i ever use ls [15:16] anyway to downgrade xserver in 8.04 to stable? please pm me... [15:16] When last time I tried installing drivers, it said I needed some linux kernel interface.... but I dunno where to get it. >_> [15:16] how to format USB on ubuntu? [15:16] i think i've used it once cuz of some instruction [15:16] cypha: usually you don't need to see all the files though. :) [15:16] Souler: if you want to d/l the drivers from nvidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html you can download to a usb drive or something. You can get the linux-headers package from Synaptic [15:16] aCCe--> you use the tool fdisk [15:16] cypha: they're hidden because you usually don't need to care about them. [15:16] where is fdisk [15:16] ahh [15:16] ? [15:16] good point [15:16] scunizi: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [15:17] it's a read, but it delivers ;) [15:17] thx ushimitsudoki [15:17] aCCe--> whereis fdisk on a command line [15:17] Dizkonnekted, each user is placed in /home with their own directory.. like /home/bill or /home/sally .. they will only use the amount of space that is needed for the programs installed.

[15:24] nv nvidia riva 128 [15:24] drash, I see pulseaudio yeah [15:24] EshiKaio, it spins the disc but stays at this white screen [15:24] 8.04 dosent write the driver to xorg.conf usually (in my case on intel it dosent) so you may try to force it [15:24] ping jarick [15:24] pls want to know how to install some softwares like autocad and esword [15:24] C ya [15:25] so try ading Driver "nv" in xorg.conf device section [15:25] can someone help me [15:25] adakole5: you might need to use wine [15:25] drash, I found a howto install and it describes a bunch of things which don't exist on my system (adding users to pulseaudio groups, config files, etc.). Did the upgrade not complete the configuration? [15:25] is there a way i can use my internal sound card for playback and my usb capture card as capture input [15:25] adakole5-> if its in the repository, pretty much like the other packages, download via synaptic, if not, it depends on the apps [15:25] amenado -> rmmod ndiswrapper [15:25] ;ndiswrapper -e bcmwl5 [15:25] ;apt-get remove ndiswrapper-utils;then install the ndiswrapper5.1;echo blacklist bcm43xx >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [15:25] ;sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf [15:25] ; sudo ndiswrapper -l [15:26] is ther a way to install nessus without having to leave the nessus port open 24/7? [15:26] empty_, have you tried the live cd? [15:26] milos_: where are u from? [15:26] beerfan: pulseaudio is new and complex, i think it's very likely that it came with very conservative defaults [15:26] Sladjannn, Sarajevo [15:26] amenado -> i have a saved paper from the ubuntu forum View Poll Results: Did this HOWTO for Dell E1505 Wireless help you? [15:26] Sladjannn, sudo nvidia-xconfig [15:26] EshiKaio, I tried that one first [15:26] after the login screen i get an empty screen, light brown with mouse cursor only, how to fix this ? thanks [15:26] EshiKaio, then read that I needed the ppc iso [15:27] I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 as second OS. It doesn't boot at all. Now I have tried the "supergrub" too, and after running some time it stops after writing: "embed /boot/grub/e2fs_stage1_5 (hd0)" [15:27] beerfan: besides that, you have checked that all your channels are unmuted, using alsamixer for instance ? [15:27] milos_: sta dalje??? [15:27] yaman-> okay, so you got a broadcom 43xx chips, i have so far been unsuccessful with that chip to make it work..so am going to pass [15:27] I have a weird issue with the Hardy tg3 driver on a BCM5722 (Dell Poweredge T105). Anyone got experience with that? [15:27] bearophile, what exact error are you getting from the installer disk (or livecd) [15:27] On most systems, this means that you will need to locate and install the correct kernel-source, kernel-headers, or kernel-devel package; ----------------How do I know its correct and where can I get it. help me please, I'm tottaly new to linux. [15:27] milos_: uradio sam ono sto si mi rekao [15:28] I don't know how to install :-D [15:28] it is not, they are windows based softwares [15:28] Sladjannn, english here [15:28] basically when I reboot with the cable connected, the network doesn't come up, even through the system thinks it is [15:28] ok sorry I didn't know [15:28] adakole5: then you'll need to use wine to run those [15:28] drash: as far as I can tell the volume settings are the same as prior to the upgrade (nothing is muted) [15:28] Souler-> those are fairly advanced subject within linux, so you may want to start with just getting around linux rather than compiliing kernels [15:28] milos_ what next? [15:28] if I reboot *or* remove/reload tg3 with disconnected cable, and then plug it in, it will work fine [15:29] amenado.... I need it to install my video drivers [15:29] and I need that [15:29] amenado-> i think i have it working on knoppix and drapper you know i have a dell inspiron 6400 laptop i can't change it ... some thing installed here by default in the system i need to take off and it';s blocking my drivers from getting work [15:29] cuz last time [15:29] souler what dirvers [15:29] i needed that [15:29] how can I select my monitor model, dpgk what else? [15:29] Nvidia [15:29] http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.12.html [15:29] the ones here [15:29] Souler, no need [15:29] beerfan: "aplay -l" (that's an L) shows all your cards (if you might have more than one) ? [15:29] I got the 7 series one [15:30] Souler-> then you have to look for tutorials via google, topic ubuntu +driver compilation [15:30] bazhang: I have WinXP on a raid 1 and I have given up trying to install it on that raid as second OS, so I have a third HD now, I have installed it from live CD and it has given no errors, but it doesn't boot, if I force the correct drive it gives "Reboot and select proper boot device" I have then tried supergrub and its booting stops there, at that "running..." line [15:30] How do i change the glow color in ccsm? [15:30] drash, in the message and user logs I'm seeing messages "Failed to initialize daemon" and "This program is not intended to be run as root" [15:30] empty_, try the ppc cd you burned on other machines [15:30] it says driver is enabled but its not working....... [15:30] Souler-> i myself do not normally compile drivers, lest i really must [15:30] bearophile, the alt cd can set up raid etc [15:30] Sladjannn, restart computer, and if that doesn't help then try this http://pastebin.com/m2acad7c0 [15:30] EshiKaio, should the ppc iso be able to boot an x86 box? [15:30] how can I select my monitor model? [15:30] beerfan: ah that's informative, what daemon are we dealing with exactly ? pulseaudio ? [15:30] bearophile, or fix grub [15:31] amenado-> 2 when i try to make my modem work the sound card stop and a message uppers telling me to reload it then i found no voice come out ? do you know how to fix this ? please i don't have any connection way i can't use the local connection area only !:( [15:31] 'lo all [15:31] Souler: you can follow this guide to install the driver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual You must be careful that you have disabled the drivers that try to load by default [15:31] drash, that was about the pulseaudio daemon yes [15:31] bearophile, boot in live cd and sudo grub from command line [15:31] bazhang: the computer shop has told me otherwise, but that's not important now, I already have a third HD into the PC (and it works correctly from Win) [15:31] so there is no way I can fix my drivers without doing it? [15:31] bearophile-> please post your menu.lst and lets see what we may suggest as fix..paste in pastebin please [15:31] drash, and main.c [15:31] beerfan: try killing it ( "killall pulseaudio" ) and restart via "pulseaudio -D" and report back what happens please [15:32] where can I select my monitor model and resolution?? [15:32] drash, also saying it couldn't open /etc/pulse/default.pa but that file seems valid [15:32] I've just installed ubuntu, what web development tools are available for me now ? [15:32] yaman-> im afraid, i cant assist with sound, as mine dont have one either, network stuff i can help you [15:32] SirSilhouette you in atl?

[15:33] :) help is never without new problems i guess :p [15:33] how do I list open ssh tunnels from the terminal?

It is a netgear WG111 [15:35] It wroked fine in feisty [15:35] sudobash: do i have to kill the process to close it, or can I use an ssh command at the terminal to do it [15:35] hmm [15:35] beerfan: not with pulseaudio -D or with the command erUSUL gave here ?

[15:35] I have a weird issue with the Hardy tg3 driver on a BCM5722 (Dell Poweredge T105) [15:35] basically when I reboot with the cable connected, the network doesn't come up, even through the system thinks it is [15:36] if I reboot *or* remove/reload tg3 with disconnected cable, and then plug it in, it will work fine [15:36] EshiKaio, I'll try the disc on another computer, but will have to disconnect to test. bbl [15:36] szaybus: http://www.asdasdasdasdasd.pastebin.com/m2573ec23 [15:36] EshiKaio, thanks [15:36] amenado: i already got a shoutcast server running on a remote server and i got the music but i want to stream on it [15:36] hey!

All my bookmarks is gone and if I go to a page I can't go back (no history) and the tabs loading animation on tabs never disapear as if its still loading. [15:36] bazhang: :-) That's the menu.lst inside the directory created by supergrub [15:37] beerfan: maybe not the nicest of proposals, but you might check that pulseaudio is checked in your autostart settings, logout and report back .. sorry things take a while with audio sometimes [15:37] drash, ok very confused I have audio in my headphones plugged in the front but not on the speakers if headphones are unplugged. What does that mean? [15:37] how can i print all users that belong to a specific group?

[15:37] dgts123-> grep groupname /etc/group [15:37] bazhang: I presume you want the other, from the installed HD, then [15:37] bearophile, did you sudo grub from livecd (ubuntu) that should get a grub prompt [15:37] this is weird. any idea? [15:37] thx amenado [15:37] how can I determine if my USB thumbstick is being detected? [15:37] alsa ate my babies. [15:38] bazhang: okay, I'll do that then, I'll have to reboot then..

Got me out of a similar audio mess with better sound than ever before, worth the effort in my opinion. All the best. [15:42] you can try that first then restart x [15:42] szaybus, i think dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't wok any more for resolution in hardy [15:42] drash, thanks. I got sound now. Not sure why. I'll check that out.

[15:43] the same with display [15:43] * delcoyote willdo [15:44] My BCM5722 (driver TG3 on Dell PowerEdge T105 running Hardy) has a weird issue: if I reboot or remove/reload tg3 with cable connected, the network doesn't work, even though the system thinks it is up, and link is established. If I do same with network cable removed, and *then* connect, it works fine! [15:44] SwedeMike: they're all text files, should be no problem copying them into a fresh profile (to be safe) and see what gives [15:45] CescoAiel-> what is tg3 driver for? what functionality?

[16:56] Hi, I'm having trouble getting my wireless to work. I've tried to follow the MadWifi HowTo to no avail. Could someone please walk me through wireless setup (Atheros) so I can figure out what my problem is? [16:56] gooody: go to apps>nautilus>desktop> uncheck "volumes_visible" [16:57] hey_joe, that's most likely the easiest way to do it, i'd recommend it [16:57] hey_joe: yes, you have to have the ppc verison, other than that it worked, expect for kubuntu cd === Scientus is now known as scientus [16:57] gooody: got it? [16:57] Broadcom, i must have a new world mac. [16:57] Broadcom: i got this make: Nothing to be done for `vmware-install.pl'.

[17:00] MrBoss, it works for me :) [17:00] drash: I'm a little confused by this tutorial. What is PulseAudio, exactly? Will I no longer use Kmix to change my volume? [17:00] until i reboot -- i'll try /etc/rc.d/networking restart next time [17:00] and see if that fixes it [17:00] jay: um... i can figure out what your wireless card is [17:00] is there a better app to use for wireless connections besides the app ubuntu comes with [17:00] http://pastebin.com/d78f490fb anybody plzzzzzzz :P [17:00] uhh anyone here about to help out a novice in install linux on a vista machine for daul boot?

[17:02] relevant line broadcom is Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0bda:0111 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

[17:05] Hey guys, I'm doing sudo aptidude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade, but it keeps "holding back" openssh-client and openssh-server. What gives? [17:05] hi all, anyone have any recommendations on a program for using a web cam with? I need to test out my new shiny logitech communicate stx [17:05] adaran this is nto working, sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf [17:05] !irc | Rafase282 check the last link [17:05] Rafase282 check the last link: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [17:05] hello all, does someone know how i put my wireless conection with password on linux, i do not have wireless internet.... [17:05] chris072, answer my question, please. did you use the wubi installer? [17:05] Hello? [17:05] thanks adaran, i decided to ask here because i'm only using ubuntu now and since idk anythign about c and c++ even thoguh I needed a program for use them I should ask here [17:05] Tonren: pastebin apt-cache policy openssh-client openssh-server [17:05] Tonren, there have been some issues with blacklisted ssh keys (or to be more accurate, insecure ones) [17:05] no i did not use the wubi installer [17:05] So when you're running in Ctrl + Alt + F6, what's that called? [17:06] Just "terminal? [17:06] " [17:06] ChaosTheory^: Virtual Console [17:06] ChaosTheory^: a tty [17:06] Oh, I see. [17:06] Rafase282, well, you could join #c, where people will tell you, somewhat rudely, to read the channel topic and google it [17:06] So what if I just want to use this? [17:06] If I made screen my window manager? [17:06] How would I do that? [17:06] uxdmark: You're trying to connect to a wireless connection that doesn't exist? [17:06] Tonren, dist-upgrade should work (a new package will be installed to help "weed out" insecure keys) [17:06] adaran i did not use the wubi installer [17:06] Now i am trying to connect to my home netword what is wireless [17:07] ChaosTheory^: ctrl-alt-f[1-6], type screen (or screen -r if you've already got one) and ... go to town! [17:07] ChaosTheory^: simply disable gdm from starting (sudo update-rc.d gdm remove) [17:07] chris072, k, now ndiswrapper is bad. you should find out what kind of chipset you have, then look for information on how to install without ndiswrapper [17:07] Flannel: But I don't want it to start up to the graphical login screen. [17:07] hello. my computer is a dual boot and the windows partition won't start up and i suspect it has a virus or something like that, however, i can still access all my windows files. does anyone know if it's possible to do a virus check or spyware cleanup on my windows data from my ubuntu? [17:07] Flannel: http://pastie.caboo.se/199099 [17:07] ChaosTheory^: see astro76 [17:07] chris072, from what i gathered there's a good chance it's a broadcam chipset, maybe even a bc47 [17:07] Is that a program? [17:07] adaran: What's the difference between safe-upgrade and dist-upgrade? [17:07] topcat1027: you could use clamav [17:08] Tonren, dist-upgrade allows packages to install new packages as dependencies, safe-upgrade does not [17:08] ChaosTheory^: see what I said ^ ;) [17:08] Starnestommy: is that just a program i download? if so, where should i get it from? [17:08] Flannel, i want to get a connection on my notebook to the wireless netword at home how do put do that, itś protected (i got password) [17:08] astro76: Sorry, can you post it again? Stuff is passing by really quickly. o_o [17:08] ChaosTheory^: simply disable gdm from starting (sudo update-rc.d gdm remove) [17:08] Oh, okay. [17:08] topcat1027, the virus scanners are usually windows only, except for clamav. not being able to boot is rarely a virus issue. you could get a bart PE live CD with a virus scanner installed [17:08] And if I wanted to run something like ratpoison. . . [17:09] ok thanks [17:09] Just "ratpoison?" [17:09] topcat1027, that's rather difficult though [17:09] How do I install w32codecs, what is that repository for ubuntu? [17:09] adaran: That worked, thanks! [17:09] Flannel, i want to get a connection on my notebook to the wireless netword at home how do put do that, itś protected (i got password) [17:09] astro76: Hold on one minute. Let me go into naim. [17:09] Tonren, make sure you run openssh-vuln [17:09] hi all [17:09] hello all [17:09] ChaosTheory^: ratpoison uses X [17:09] i fresh installed ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, how do i check the os configured correctly my graphic card? [17:09] who was having wireless touble? [17:09] Sorry for the inconvenience, astro76. [17:09] PPKuma, do you see graphics? =) [17:09] Can you post the command again? [17:09] please, can someone give me a link to a how to for using dual screens with an ati graphics card? [17:09] adaran: thanks, i'll try the less difficult one first, haha... i was also thinking would it be possible to use a virus scanner in wine? [17:09] topcat1027: it's available from the package manager [17:10] adran: yes :) [17:10] i have a special case here [17:10] i can't find one which's working [17:10] #ubuntu-nl [17:10] adaran: yes :) [17:10] ChaosTheory^: sudo update-rc.d gdm remove [17:10] !daul harddrives [17:10] Factoid daul harddrives not found [17:10] i use a wireless router [17:10] adaran: It's running it automatically. [17:10] !dual hard drives [17:10] crazyisraelie: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:10] uxdmark: When you connect, it'll pop up a box and ask for all that stuff [17:10] topcat1027, i'd doubt it. seriously, most likely you're better off backup and reinstalling windows. i cannot think of a solution that would cost me less time than that, other then fixing your most-likely not virus related boot problems [17:10] hi all [17:10] now i think my router is hacked by someone [17:10] goldsniper: lol [17:11] which is the best ide for php [17:11] \i mean... i have wep [17:11] goldsniper, why's that? [17:11] newuser, vim [17:11] besides vim [17:11] anyone say "Cheese" =P [17:11] newuser, gvim [17:11] astro76: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gdm exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) [17:11] and still when i check there are someone still using my wifi connection [17:11] !best | newuser [17:11] newuser: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:11] adaran: but... when i use 3d games my computer crashes after a while =/ [17:11] is there some clipboard managing application for gnome? [17:11] PPKuma, define "crash" [17:11] icewaterman: There is... I'm trying to remember the name. I know it's out there, though. [17:11] icewaterman: glipper iirc. [17:12] adaran : how to connect him and tell him to bug off? [17:12] Pici: There we go! [17:12] adaran: so you think i'm pretty much screwed for trying to fix windows? it's not too terrible since i can backup all my files first but i just hate redoing the whole thing. [17:12] ChaosTheory_: umm... try stopping it first with sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [17:12] goldsniper, switch off off the router [17:12] Pici: th [17:12] x [17:12] th [17:12] grrmlö [17:12] adaran: the computer freezes, i try to switch to tty1 but the pc don't respond [17:12] goldsniper, switch it back on, connect to the webinterface, enable wifi encryption [17:12] thx [17:12] PPKuma, do you have a second computer? [17:12] PPKuma: does this happen while running firefox? [17:13] greetings [17:13] adaran: i did enabled the wifi encription alraedy [17:13] topcat1027, that depends. you haven't described what's not working in any detail [17:13] goldsniper, WEP is not encryption [17:13] Okay, I did it. [17:13] I was trying to install a firefox plugin and got the message that the relevant packages couldn't be downloaded from the gb ubuntu archive because it couldn't connect to 127.0.0.1:3128. This port is common for proxy's. Has anybody else seen this or have I been hacked? [17:13] Broadcom: no, it happens after a while playing xMoto or tuxkart [17:13] Now, is there a way to change the font on this thing? =D [17:13] adaran: no, why? [17:13] goldsniper, usually, it takes then less then 10 minutes to crack it [17:13] i want to change my ubuntu to kde look, how do i do that [17:13] newuser: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [17:13] PPKuma: hmm... [17:13] PPKuma, whenever X freezes, i ssh into the machine and read the logs to find out what happened [17:13] newuser, install kubuntu-desktop [17:13] Then ctrl + alt + del ==> KDE. [17:13] newuser: sudo apt-get install kubuntu desktop [17:13] ChaosTheory_, [17:13] *backspace [17:14] PPKuma, most likely the system hasn't crashed, but the xserver has [17:14] i got a problem here [17:14] ok [17:14] O_O [17:14] just installed Ubuntu 8 [17:14] adaran: well, it would say something like windows failed to boot up, choose these options: safe mode, safe mode with blabla, last working startup, or start windows normally... none of them work [17:14] I'm a noob, sorry. [17:14] adaran: isee... is there a way to access the log after rebooting? [17:14] PPKuma, however, 3d applications freezing is often an issue of overheating [17:14] works fine [17:14] I can try, though. [17:14] Okay. [17:14] pensos2: yey =) [17:14] PPKuma: free | grep Swap [17:14] but can run me some apps [17:14] i tried this site [17:14] person.com [17:14] PPKuma: what does that give you [17:14] adaran: okay.. i like to try something else... i know this someone is my neighbour, so i want to frighten/surprised him by sending him a message , maybe popup on his pc? i know his using winxp.... [17:14] PPKuma, not that i know of. do you ahve windows installed? try gaming there and see if it freezes, too. check your CPU cooler, gfx temp, etc. [17:14] astro76: Is it possible to change the font here? =D [17:14] !enter | pensos2 [17:14] pensos2: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [17:14] "./program so its suppose to load for me a message box [17:14] !enter | pensos2 [17:14] How to make launchers show up in avant? [17:14] adaran: wait a sec [17:14] goldsniper, i'd refrain from that. [17:15] Does anyone know of any decent printer/scanner individual or combo devices that work well on Linux? I need a fast scanner for scanning a lot of letters and documents. [17:15] topcat1027, define "don't work" please [17:15] What program will be called by the GNOME click sequence System > Quit > Suspend or System > Quit > Hibernate, respectively? [17:15] any one had any success with the XFI Extreme Audio from Creative? [17:15] Broadcom Swap: 2000052 42564 1957488 [17:15] chesshh... i using linux but got hacked by a windows user??? [17:15] PPKuma: ok, that is not the problem, nevermind [17:15] goldsniper, if he's clever enough to break into your WEP-secured network, you're most likely not going to be able to scare him easily [17:15] moveax: I think it might be /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh [17:15] "./program goldsniper, and what makes you think that someone has "broken into" your network? [17:15] no sound at all, [17:16] adaran: how do i check the cpu temperature? [17:16] Tonren: wrong person [17:16] oneguyks, cat file1 file2 | ./program [17:16] goldsniper: was your network using encryption? [17:16] moveax: Oops. That's what I get for skimming. [17:16] goldsniper: that's because a Linux system is easier to crack if it's not correctly setup. No firewall and a running SSHd makes it an easy target [17:16] bullgard4: I think it might be /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh [17:16] adaran: maybe i just want to send him a message that he can use my internet connection but have to share the bills? [17:16] Tonren: :) [17:16] adaran: tell him to make all of the pictures on the internet flip [17:16] PPKuma, i don't know. never bothered with it. =) [17:16] Ahadiel: how do i make it to where my system uses the whicd [17:16] instead of nm applet [17:16] wicd [17:16] adaran: well, all the safe modes have the same results... they seem to work for a second, ask me my user name and password, but after that it just keeps loading until infinite, and then my computer makes those annoying beeps that don't come from the speakers and it just keeps doing that. if i try 'last known working' it just freezes right there, and if i try 'start windows normally' the screen just goes blank [17:16] can anyone here help me with my wireless problem? [17:17] Broadcom, i doubt he has the technial expertise to pull that off =) no offense =) [17:17] broha: yes [17:17] ok, adaran and Broadcom, thanks for your time [17:17] broha: do lspci, and put the result in pastebin [17:17] Starnestommy: nope, i think... im using wep just now [17:17] goldsniper, well first give me a reason why you're thinking that that is the case, then, why not just go over and ask/talk to him? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [17:17] goldsniper: you shoudl probably use a wpa variant instead of wep === newuser is now known as ubunturocks [17:18] adaran i followed the tutorial for my laptop on getting wireless working and it still does not work :( [17:18] topcat1027, hmmm, maybe a bad startup entry, but i can't be sure. [17:18] chris072: you have a braodcom? [17:18] goldsniper: wep is fairly easy to crack [17:18] adaran: where can i learnt how to send message to my wireless lan , broadcast maybe? [17:18] My network has no wireless option but my computer says the hardware and its drivers are installed : i have an Atheros ar242x internal wireless card and a belkin f5d8073 external nrouter card [17:18] broadcom, how can i find out? === tuna-fish is now known as tuna [17:18] Starnestommy, wep is an outtadate technology [17:18] goldsniper, you're not listening to what i'm saying and i'm not continuing this conversation =/ [17:18] is apt-get and aptitude the same? [17:18] chris072: lspci, put the return in pastebin [17:19] Starnstommy: Yes... i think i'll change to wpa [17:19] ubunturocks, no [17:19] ubunturocks: no, but somewhat similar [17:19] goldsniper: also, you may want to use mac address filtering to get further control [17:19] ubunturocks, two different package managers working on the same "system" [17:19] broha: do lspci and put the result in pastebin [17:19] Tonren: I will test if that is the case. [17:19] <_sammy_> broha: atheros only have proprietary drivers. You will need to google some [17:19] does anybody know how to setup the multi user function with ubuntu ? [17:19] ubunturocks: they both manage packages on the command line, but aptitude has more functions and it also has an interactive interface [17:19] _sammy_, what about the zd1211rw ? [17:19] adaran: just like yum and aptitude? [17:19] adaran: sorry ... so i cant learnt that... its okay [17:19] broha: if you have a atheros, nevermind [17:19] is it better to use wubi or or a dedicated partition for buntu? [17:19] goldsniper, wep can be crack in minutes now http://www.boycottwep.org/aircrackvid.html [17:19] settign up WPA [17:19] so my brother can login without me having to log off [17:20] how or what is pastebin [17:20] adaran: well thanks for the info man, i'm gonna look into it more and see if i can figure it out. thanks again, and also thanks starnestommy. see ya [17:20] broha: if you have an atheros, nevermind [17:20] Ar242x 802.11abg wireless [17:20] Hello :) I have problems mounting my external harddrive. I insert it and it pop ups saying it cannot be mounted because of it being unclean. I've rebooted it in windows twice, didn't work. also force mounting doesn't work :( Any help?

[17:22] I was just wondering if anybody can help me out...I just dived into Ubuntu and so far everything works flawless. except, (guessing it has something to do with emerald) GUI would crash and I would be stuck with a full screen console [17:22] adaran, its a PDA [17:22] So I was wondering if anybody knew the command to reload the GUI :) [17:22] who was i helping with wireless? computer just crashed [17:23] pensos2, oh. well, in that case, good luck =) [17:23] adaran, am connecting using a USB cable [17:23] Or prevent gnome from crashing anyway [17:23] Foy, perhaps you want to restart X?

[17:26] Foy, well, don't restart the gui from the gui [17:26] which does not function well under Hardy [17:26] Foy, the script will kill the gui, which will kill the script while it's being killed [17:26] I figured haha [17:26] Broadco1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13062/ [17:27] Any idea why it would crash in the first place? [17:27] . [17:27] D0ugh_B0ii: it is Broadcom, try private chat now [17:27] Foy, that'd be my guess. if you want to restart x, switch to tty1 (C-M-F1), do it from there [17:27] Hello :) I have problems mounting my external harddrive.

Did you mean "yes"? [18:17] phoenix5002, none, just updated [18:18] Baughn: sorry i think it was clear [18:18] why isn't there a newer version of pcmanfm in repos? 0.3.2.x is around 1.5 yrs old :-O there is 0.3.5.x deb on his site, from getdeb you can even get 0.3.9.10 for gutsy, current version is 0.4.1.1, I can't work out why there would be such an old version in repos :-/ [18:18] this is getting me cray : can anyone help on how to add a drive in the computer:/// [18:18] who knows if ATI Radeon 9550 is enough for Beryl? [18:18] ParanoyaM: Okay, first things first. Have you added or removed any HDs recently? Or CD drives?

I'm currently using Debian etch [18:21] my friend just installed Ubuntu, but he uses some dial up program called "easy wireless net" and it doesn't have a linux version. Is there anyway he can still access the internet with his service provider. maybe with wine? [18:21] <_sammy_> eTranquility: You need the kernel sources: $ sudo apt-get install linux-source then try again [18:21] ParanoyaM: Grub uses BIOS calls to read itself (beyond the 512-byte stage0 loader) from disk [18:21] rigolo yes, I see all my drives [18:21] ParanoyaM: Those calls are very often unable to read from add-in pci cards, so.. [18:21] Jack_Sparrow: you should see the drive "/" and maybe other hard or cd or even nfs drives [18:21] hmm [18:21] ParanoyaM: Install GRUB on a disk that's directly connected to your mobo, and it should fix itself [18:22] Baughn: yes, so this why i choose builtin controler ide drive [18:22] ParanoyaM: This does /not/ mean you have to install /linux/ on that disk, just the /boot/ partition. It might mean /adding/ a /boot partition, of course. [18:22] ParanoyaM: For grub setup, you mean? [18:22] Jack_Sparrow: i have a line in fstad that mounts my /dev/sda7 to /media/DriveData [18:22] Baughn: it is impossible, because there is WinXP os, and i can't remove or modify it [18:22] Baughn: yes [18:22] _sammy_: Okay, thanks, will try. [18:22] Jack_Sparrow: but this drive doesn't appear in computer:/// [18:22] rigolo Ok following so far [18:22] Same error with one HDD removed, trying to remove both now [18:22] ParanoyaM: grub setup just decides where the 512-byte stage0 loader gets installed [18:23] ParanoyaM: Well, and stage1.. I think... anyway, not really the point. The *point* is: /boot *must* be on a disk that's readable by the bios. Yours apparently isn't. [18:23] Jack_Sparrow: i can access it via /media/DriveData, but i would like to have it in shortcuts, computer:/// and other handy places, like a drive.. :) [18:24] Jack_Sparrow: see what i mean ? [18:24] ParanoyaM: If you really, really can't resize your windows partition.. get another disk? Or a new mobo with a sata header, perhaps. ;P [18:24] ParanoyaM: Meanwhile, you could use wubi. That would work. [18:24] Baughn: is it possible to resize ntfs partition without datalost [18:24] rigolo not yet.. [18:25] ParanoyaM: I know partition magic can do it. I *think* parted can in some cases, but.. not sure. [18:25] I see all of my mounts in nautilus under places and on my desktop.. [18:25] how do i set up file sharing from one ubuntu to another? it's using samba and it won't let me shre anything. how do i set the permissions? what's the samba password?? [18:25] Baughn: i tried with gparted, i can't make it smaller, but can make it bigger [18:25] Ok, while doing an install without a CD of 8.04 (by copying initrd.gz and vmlinuz from the mounted ISO and booting from them by editing grub) how can I mount the iso again from the command line when it asks me for the cd? I'm currently using Debian etch [18:25] ParanoyaM: Defragment it first [18:25] Jack_Sparrow: that is waht i want can u paste your /fstab somewhere [18:25] rigolo sure [18:25] Please help. my system seems to think I have a package manager open when I don't, this keeps happening even after reboot [18:25] and mount /dev/sda1 /mnt fails with 'invalid options' [18:25] kom0dor: What are you installing from, if not cd? [18:25] Baughn: is it possible to make from linux [18:26] can someone please help me to understand why I cant start "frets on fire". This is what i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13079/. [18:26] ParanoyaM: No, you'd have to defragment in windows [18:26] I downloaded the alternative iso, copied the vmlinuz and initrd.gz, and edited grub to boot from those [18:26] ParanoyaM: Um. Presumably it can't boot right now.. [18:26] I'm currently using grub+debian stable [18:26] Baughn: yes i can't load it now :( [18:26] ParanoyaM: Grab a windows cd, go into the recovery console, and use.. fixmbr? I think? [18:26] ParanoyaM: Google for that keyword, anyway. [18:26] Baughn: yeah, [18:27] rigolo http://paste.ubuntu.com/13080/ [18:27] Baughn: anyway why this happens/ [18:27] kom0dor: Yes, but physically. What are you installing /from/? [18:27] Jack_Sparrow: thx [18:27] np [18:27] _sammy_: No luck still, I get the same thing. [18:27] ParanoyaM: It's happening because you have /boot on a disk that's connected to your add-on PCI card, and either your bios, your add-on card, or both are too old/lack the ability to boot off it [18:27] my friend just installed Ubuntu, but he uses some dial up program called "easy wireless net" and it doesn't have a linux version. Is there anyway he can still access the internet with his service provider. maybe with wine? [18:27] Interesting. I left the laptop HDD in and now Ubuntu seems to be booting up correctly. Meaning either the original HDD doesn't like Ubuntu, or there's something wrong with my first SATA slot.... [18:28] Wouldn't it be possible to install from the mounted iso? After I mount my current hda1. couldn't I mount xubuntu.iso /cdrom and use that for the install? [18:28] yes, phoenix5002. [18:28] ParanoyaM: It must be said that, if your machine doesn't /have/ sata support on your mobo.. you could grab a $150 mobo and core 2 cpu for probably twice your current speed [18:28] not wine, phoenix5002 but pppoeconf [18:28] babola1: how? [18:28] babola1: is that a package? [18:28] kom0dor: Are you trying to do it from inside debian or something? [18:28] can someone please help me to understand why I cant start "frets on fire". This is what i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13079/. [18:28] phoenix5002: how does your friend use the dial up connection? Is it DSL? [18:29] Any idea why vobcopy aborts at 2048MB? [18:29] kom0dor: It might take some creative editing, but http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ should have all the information you need for that [18:29] No, but I created a /b00t folder with ubuntu files in it because I have no cds to burn. [18:29] Baughn: i need sponsor maybe ) [18:29] I'll start reading, thanks [18:29] I've got a wierd problem, sometimes when I try to play a video or sound file it'll just render frame by frame and I'll lose sound. It'll stay like that till I restart, and it occurs across multiple multimedia mediums. [18:29] !find vobcopy [18:29] Found: vobcopy [18:29] ParanoyaM: Or just use wubi. That /would/ work. [18:29] Hi Again [18:30] ParanoyaM: (Except perhaps with /boot on that other disk.. again...) [18:30] Jack_Sparrow: ?

Better off asking the channel. === teste111 is now known as nevoeiro [18:32] ParanoyaM: No, you need to make it directly connected to your mobo. If that means an ide disk, then you probably need a new mobo.. but ide would work [18:32] Jack_Sparrow: it's the fastest way to backup a DVD. OTOH, it's the most "stupid", and worse, since my Ubuntu install it stopped working. [18:32] heh, alright. I don't have an usb pen drive, but the installer actually boots, and gets to the point where it says: Your cd is not in the cd drive, and that's where it's stuck [18:33] Baughn: connected what? directly connected to my mobo is IDE [18:33] can someone help me with my wireless I cant get my computer to recognize my wireless interface it calls it an ethernet controller I have tried installing madwifi but it didnt help [18:33] somehow, I need to use the ISO on my hdd instead? === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [18:33] yacc YOu are not by chance using a fat32 to store the temp or anything are you [18:33] how do i copy all files in folder into another one using ssh?

For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [19:11] is UBUNTU worth this headache or should I switch to another linux program [19:11] does anybody know how to make a launcher, or script that starts the terminal and does a command as would I have done it manually? [19:12] broha: what is your problem? [19:12] Ienorand: gnome-terminal -x [19:12] broha explain [19:12] babola1, but I can't do that, since I can't even boot the Live CD and install Ubuntu with Vista HDD installed. Only way to install ubuntu is to remove Vista HDD while installing ubuntu :( [19:12] quit [19:12] Ienorand: yes, one second [19:12] Scynet: you will want to use LiveCD of Gparted or repartitioning tools to cleanslate your drives === vixen85 is now known as vix85 [19:13] I am having multiple problems one is my wireless not working after 4 days of trying every solution imaginable and now i find out that the dvd players dont actually play dvds i am new to linux all together and installed it on my cs proffessor recomendation as a compiler [19:13] babola1 Yeah I guess, but I'm not sure I want to go that far. If I can't install Ubuntu on the other HDD without affecting vista, I'll just format the Ubuntu HDD as NTFS and use the extra space in Vista [19:13] gnome-terminal -x does not work [19:14] is there another linux that is more suitable for newbies [19:14] bomanizer: Ubuntu is an excellent new user choice [19:14] Scynet: i guess you can do that.. good luck! [19:14] I think I'll make a post on Ubuntu forums, babola1. Thanks for the help [19:14] broha: Linux mint might be... [19:14] Hi there. Is there any benchmark to try my hardware? [19:14] broha: you know the answer to that [19:14] broha: if you don't really want Linux, you can run GCC on virtually any OS [19:14] ikonia: I know :) perhaps you ment to talk someone else [19:14] broha: have you read in the wiki on how to make dvds work? [19:15] ikonia, not really, its excellent until it doesn't work [19:15] evening, any clues as to how to install the server edition of 8.04 from the DVD? [19:15] ikonia: ubuntu is a bit too buggy imho [19:15] bomanizer: yes, I meant broha sorry [19:15] but still I give ubuntu to new users [19:15] Chapai: as with any product [19:15] broha : Ubuntu is O.K. for newbies but if you want to try something else go for PCLinuxOS [19:15] i read some forums and tried the new codecs and i still get dvd errors only now i get them on multiple programs [19:15] ikonia: LOL no prob, but does anyone have problems with packages.ubuntu.com? [19:15] Hi, I can't set up pulseaudio with mpd... [19:15] <_sammy_> LimCore: Indeed, likewise [19:16] ikonia: in example, damn psi doesn't work [19:16] broha: Ubuntu is probably one of the strongest candidates to use for a new user [19:16] the site seems to be down...? [19:16] ikonia: I use ubuntu, I need psi (with openpgp) what can I do [19:16] LimCore: I don't need your examples thanks, I'm well aware of what the situation is [19:16] bomanizer: I get the same (UK o2 braodband) [19:16] ikonia, true, my wireless stopped working and for a while now, i cant even tell whats wrong with it [19:16] ikonia: actually that was a specyfic question :) [19:16] or to rephrase it: do I need to download the server CD, or can I install the server edition from the DVD? (it would seem sensible for the DVD to contain both desktop and server installs, so I didn't bother checking when I downloaded it) [19:16] broha: provide more details of your error like prompts or error messages, what you need to do to get them, etc. [19:17] Ienorand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13091/ [19:18] caleb: cheers [19:18] bomanizer: packages is up for me [19:18] !register [19:18] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname.

[19:19] any X / Mouse guru's in here? I'm having some funky mouse behavior and really could use some help. When I'm in WoW (World of Warcraft -- Played in Wine) my left and right buttons pressed at same time don't act correctly. I've tried: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 9" and it correctily binds the right button.. but. [19:20] when I'm trying to press both mouse buttons at the same time that doesn't work [19:20] bomanizer: dead for me now too [19:20] I just installed Fedora 9 alongside Windows XP and Ubuntu.... I can no longer boot into Ubuntu, though... I get an error 13 when I try. COuld someone tell me how to reinstall Grub and redetect my OS's? [19:20] bomanizer: looks like it is having a problem [19:20] ikonia: ok [19:20] yeah [19:20] How come when im installing Ubuntu in safe graphics mode i get the error "Cant Display this video mode"?

[19:22] How come when im installing Ubuntu in safe graphics mode i get the error "Cant Display this video mode"? [19:22] wibble_: you can partition it up , no problem [19:22] Metta: your card can't display that mode ? [19:23] it's like the video output stopped responding for a moment and then comes back. :S [19:23] can grep --color go through `more' and still stay colored? [19:23] at least I could watch flash videos in firefox and listen to music in rhythmbox [19:23] hsuh: more is a problem for that [19:23] Is there anyone available with experience using the xserver-xorg-input-joystick drivers? I'm having issues not freaking out X whenever i restart X with my additional input device. [19:23] ikonia: less? most? [19:23] hsuh: not just with grep [19:23] maxxxx: If you don't like Pulse then go back to Alsa. [19:23] I even had to restart because pulse got stuck in an audio loop [19:23] hsuh: not sure how less will work [19:23] (the same) [19:23] maxxxx: do you have a quesition, or are you just spouting off random comments ? [19:23] ikonia: so its a known problem.. thanks then [19:23] spouting [19:24] maxxxx: please stop then, #ubuntu-offtopic is better for that [19:24] jdwilm: I have experience [19:24] kk [19:24] maxxxx: #ubuntu is for support [19:24] Darlok_Williams: I don't bother to reinstall grub, I just combine the two menu.1st config files. boot into Fedora and mount the Ubuntu partition and then cut and paste the Ubuntu menu.1st parts into the Fedora menu.1st config. Back up everything so you can reverse your mistakes , ha [19:24] hsuh: well, certainly more was [19:24] mind if i ask you some questions in a pm?

[19:27] hsuh: maybe worth adding an alias [19:27] w30: thats more realistic [19:27] It's not a card. [19:27] ikonia: I'm trying to copy and paste from a terminal window, so you can see the output from apt-get install [19:27] I misspoke. [19:27] ikonia, k ill play around in my vm more thanks.

[20:08] IndyGunFreak: no, it will not [20:08] far as i know.. [20:08] IndyGunFreak not it wont [20:08] really? [20:08] hmm, well i stand corrected.. [20:08] I didn't think that it did. [20:08] xen-on-redhat recognizes settings in /etc/sysconfig/xend (e.g., "XENSTORED_PID=..."). i'd read that on debian/ubuntu, the analogue is /etc/defaults/xend. tried that -- not recognized. [20:08] *does* ubuntu have a similar settings file? [20:08] it will create a 5-10gb file on your current partition [20:08] Its just a a disk image. [20:08] Jack_Sparrow: do you get a grub menu, like a normal install, or do you have to start it from within windows. [20:08] IndyGunFreak you get a grub type menu [20:08] Anubis done, now? how can I connect to the pc ?? [20:09] also I wanted to truecrypt my drive and its much simpler with wubi than using grub. [20:09] hmm [20:09] k i've installed the extras for trutype fonts, now what? [20:09] IndyGunFreak I ruined my windows ntfs install trying wubi.. never again for me. [20:09] ssh ip of the computer n-iCe [20:09] am i the only one to have a lot more hassles with hardy than expected? [20:09] cgentry72: what are you trying to do? [20:09] Anubis but in a windows computer, using putty [20:09] Jack_Sparrow: how can you ruin a windows install using wubi? [20:09] Jack_Sparrow: it's just impossible [20:09] rohan: just use the fonts in gnome [20:09] Anubis? :O [20:09] nope it is not [20:09] Jack_Sparrow: lol, so much for easy and safe..lol. if people would get over their fear of the cd's, it would be much easier. [20:10] huh Stonekeeper [20:10] hm, when I copy files from CD permisions are User USER ( eg. marko ) , but group is nobody ? [20:10] how can I fox that [20:10] Jack_Sparrow: please tell me how did you manage to do it? [20:10] rohan read the faq carefully from wubi.. [20:10] Anubis: you play tremulous? [20:10] no, Stonekeeper [20:10] ok, wrong person, sorry [20:11] any idea, Anubis ? [20:11] n-iCe, i dont use putty, so hang on [20:11] Is there a applet to disable ondemand on cpu?? [20:11] I'm using an emergency live cd right now, and I have no idea how to fix my MBR....... [20:11] Anubis thanks I mean i know how, but it is not connecting [20:11] damn IPV6... still there [20:11] plse where is the folder that keeps the images for the desktop [20:11] my fonts just look funny overall [20:11] I 22 the desfault ubuntu ssh port? Anubis ? [20:11] Jack_Sparrow: that still doesn't say how you managed to do it [20:11] rohan they insist it is no more dangerous that a lockup in windows that gets rebooted, but in my case the ubuntu lockup reboot trashed my setup and I had to reinstall windows from my backup [20:11] images [20:11] rohan read the faq... [20:11] n-iCe: yes it is [20:12] rohan google up wubi dangers etc [20:12] drash, ipv6 still there [20:12] default ssh port is 22 n-iCe , you can change it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [20:12] Lev|atan: there are alternatives --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202838 [20:12] Will somebody help me in a private chat? or I can give out my email... [20:12] commodore13 dont give email in channel [20:12] i know... bad idea, but I'm desperate. [20:12] Anubis ok, yes, but why can't i connect to the ubuntu machine??? any idea, more info maybe, im using the public pc ip and port 22 [20:12] drash, ok [20:13] Jack_Sparrow: all i found is - http://kempj.blogspot.com/2007/09/wubi-dangers.html [20:13] some one know fix for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24/+bug/220857 [20:13] how can I make it public, or what should I do?

[20:13] how does ssh work, do i need a remote machine for that? [20:13] rohan I dont care to discuss it.. I just wont recommend nor use it [20:13] n-iCe, is the machine directly on the internet or behind some type of NAT'ing device [20:13] n-iCe did you install sshd ? [20:13] you said you are using putty correct? n-iCe [20:13] Anubis yes [20:13] ssh is for remote file and terminal access Neuling [20:13] Jack_Sparrow: fine, but as they say, it's beta.

Is something like dd and tar the best way, or can I make a smaller version? [20:14] Jack_Sparrow: also, you don't need to use language like "i don't care to discuss it".. it's not as if i care too much, either. [20:14] macd says is already installed in the lastest version [20:14] rohan All the more reason for it not to be used by novice linux users [20:14] anyone know how update Firefox 3 beta5 to rc1 ?

[20:15] commodore13: it's better practice to describe the problem instead of redirecting to a thread. [20:15] remink, it works but you can't tweak any of the dpi settings [20:15] Well its just a feature Neuling. What did you want it to do? [20:15] rohan: i heard that only the final will be in the repo [20:15] drash, done... ill reboot now... thanks dude [20:15] under session enter the ip address of the ssh server, and check ssh in the connection type and click ok, it should open a terminal that will ask for user and password [20:15] I use SSH to access my server so i dont need to leave a monitor and keyboard attached [20:15] ill back soon [20:15] commodore13: you've erased the mbr of windows... [20:15] macd: idd, and it's not really exact [20:15] under session enter the ip address of the ssh server, and check ssh in the connection type and click ok, it should open a terminal that will ask for user and password n-iCe [20:16] Lev|atan: one less thing, no problem :) [20:16] yes [20:16] !pm | commodore13 [20:16] commodore13: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [20:16] dark_Harmonics: well trafic is encrypted, to surf safely ( against sniffers ) [20:16] commodore13: get an xp cd, go to recovery mode, type fixmbr, and you should be done. [20:16] aguitel: oh ok, i thought they might include RC. well then you can't upgrade your install.. you can have a parallel install in ~ [20:16] hischild: I don't have my XP CD and I'm running vista premium [20:16] Anubis it doesn't that's the problem, says connection failed [20:16] n-iCe, if you are using the public ip then you need to port forward or allow connection to host on your router or network it might have active firewall [20:16] commodore13: then create a small /boot partition and install grub on that. Or use the supergrub disc to fix it. [20:16] Anubis i did [20:17] is modem Thompson ST510v6 compatible with Ubuntu? [20:17] Hi, When I use autologin, I get the keyring asking for my password again... can I fix that somehow? [20:17] neuling yea sorry i dont know how to do that sort of thing. I just use it to connect to other computers [20:17] a [20:17] n-iCe, can you connect to the ssh server using the private ip? 192...... [20:17] Anubis no [20:17] hischild: my problem is a bit more complicated then that, will you open a private chat with me please? [20:17] dark_Harmonics: yes thanks however :) [20:18] commodore13: i will not. I'm willing to help in the channel though. [20:18] do you have a firewall on the ubuntu server n-iCe [20:18] all right, well to make It short I dont want GRUB because its a pain to truecrypt using grub [20:18] Anubis no [20:18] let me try something, wait [20:18] drash, done... ipv6 out XD [20:19] Neuling i know that you can use a proxy server to hide your identity on the internet, but packets sent on a network can be sniffed unless they are encrypted on that network and then decrypted before being sent. I dont think ssh is what you are looking for [20:19] drash, ty dude [20:19] commodore13: you can use the supergrub disc to fix the mbr like windows would with fixmbr. Google for the supergrub disc, boot from it, then follow the onscreen instructions. === nonix4_ is now known as nonix4 [20:19] drash, the post says one is supposed to download "flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.218.0conn3_i386.deb", do you know where to get it from? [20:19] commodore13: that means that you won't have grub. [20:19] Lev|atan: :) your welcome [20:19] hischild: will that install the originall vista bootloader? [20:19] lgc: yes, just a sec, i'll check [20:20] Can you do a net install with ubuntu, like you can with debian? [20:20] Anubis port udp or tcp? [20:20] commodore13: it will fix the mbr. The bootloader from vista hasn't been removed, only the link to it. supergrub will put that back. [20:20] unstable: yes [20:20] Hi all, i have a dependencies problem with wine on ubuntu, here is the scrrenshot (i have completed removed 1 time before) http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3886/errorvh1.png I really dunno wot to do... Thx alot :D [20:20] hischild: I will try that, thank you. [20:20] i am unsure what the problem could be if you can even reach the ssh server on the private ip [20:20] unstable: http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [20:20] Anubis but the port must be open using tcp or udp [20:20] dark_Harmonics: well just over ssl sites it works i am just a bit scared when sending passwords over the net or so not each site uses ssl [20:21] unstsable, yes and there are minimal install cd's available for that purpose [20:21] lgc: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [20:21] i believe its tcp n-iCe [20:21] otherwise, unstable , have a look here -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:21] unstable: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:21] unstable: i thnk this is better though, it looks "official" -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [20:21] does ubuntu include ONE working jabber client with openpgp? [20:21] matteo1990: can you pastebin your sources.list [20:21] drash, thanks. [20:21] matteo1990: your sources seem to be wrong. What version of ubuntu are you running? [20:21] n-iCe, am not sure so just select both if its an option [20:22] ok, Anubis done using 192.168.1.67 [20:22] LimCore: I don't know about Pidgin but you can install Gajim or Psi (which both support it) [20:22] gtk-chtheme messed up appearance, now in appearance it everything is a question mark [20:22] lgc: no problem, it solved my sound hijacking , hope it works for you as well [20:22] so you can reach it now? n-iCe [20:22] how do I revert it so I can use appearance again [20:22] MattJ: psi is an EPIC FAILURE in ubuntu (openpgp is broken) [20:22] neuling not sure there is much you can do because if the site you connect to doesnt use a secure protocol, it wont decrypt your encrypted traffic anyhow. Shame on them for not caring about their users [20:22] MattJ: Gajim is just pidgin now [20:22] Anubis using the private ip, yes [20:22] MattJ: and kopete also have a bug in openpgp [20:22] LimCore: Someone told me that the other day, but when I tested it worked [20:22] LimCore: No, Gajim is Gajim [20:22] and public? n-iCe [20:23] n-iCe, alot of NAT devices require your host computer to have a static IP to perform port forwarding as well. [20:23] Anubis i will try later [20:23] dark_Harmonics: yes true at least you can encrypt your emails [20:23] LimCore: Gaim is now Pidgin, Gajim is not related to either of them [20:23] When creating "asound.conf" for further pulseaudio configurating should it be located in /etc/asound.conf or ~/.asoundrc [20:23] i am running Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon, the problem in my opinion is that when i select from synaptic "complete removal" for wine i deleted some wrong files... Where i can get source file to pastebin? thx aLOT [20:23] drash, but the .deb version doesn't seem to be there, just the .rpm. Is there a need to convert it? [20:23] MattJ: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/psi/+bug/224906 [20:23] Launchpad bug 224906 in psi "[Hardy] Psi 0.11 connects in an infinite manner without success after enabling OpenPGP" [Undecided,Confirmed] [20:23] matteo1990: what files? where were they? [20:23] matteo1990 sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [20:24] LimCore: I saw that, but it works for me [20:24] matteo1990: /etc/apt/sources.list [20:24] Why does it say I have no video card driver installed? Under "screens and graphics' it is picking up my Intel 945 GMA card but under 'driver' it says none. Screen res still works fine though. [20:24] usually for security purposes, the default port for ssh is changed, n-iCe [20:24] * LimCore slaps psi [20:24] i've tried aircrack-ng on ubuntu 8.04. and now i can't get a wireless connection (the wireless connection isn't visible anymore in the network-icon on the top right. can somebody help?! [20:24] lgc: no i got a .deb, it was there 3 days ago when i tried the workaround, checking ... [20:24] LimCore: Try Gajim anyway, and if you have no luck, join ##jabber and I'll help you when I get back [20:24] fifthrune: it's using the generic default.. if you have the option to turn on the propriatory driver in the restricted drivers manager do so. [20:24] wow, ubuntu has a package to paste to pastebin? too good, never know of it [20:24] <__mor1> hi folk [20:24] I'm trying to use the LiveCD to restore my GRUB, but when running "root (hd0,0)" it tells me the disc doesn't exist.... [20:24] drash: you can convert rpms to debs with alien... [20:24] How do I set it up so that my home folder is on a shared partition? [20:25] rohan yea, it is nice [20:25] Mark_G: last time I tried that I had to reconfigure .xorg. am I doing something wrong? [20:25] Jack_Sparrow: yes, better than having to give the url etc [20:25] rohan sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [20:25] but it's a ubuntu-only package, not in debian [20:25] checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: err cannot create executables which one can I download? [20:25] <__mor1> just little problem: seahorse (e.g. keyring manager) don't ask for password (so networkmanager forgets my wpa password) [20:25] rohan I got tons premade.. [20:25] Anubis thanks [20:25] danners: that's a very dangerous (i'm probably writing it wrong) and can cause more then a single error. [20:25] danners: thx for that, but there's already one available on the net :) [20:25] n-iCe, np [20:26] Jack_Sparrow: nice idea [20:26] Could someone please remotely try to mount my dvd writer im finding it really difficult i cant find it [20:26] <__mor1> how may i have seahorse asking for password again? [20:26] Anubis do you know any to create executables?? [20:26] hischild: yeah i know but if it is the last possibility... [20:26] lgc: you'll find it attached to this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 .. sorry for the mix-up [20:26] yeah i guess, but for which os, you use both ubuntu and xp n-iCe [20:26] fifthrune: not neccessarily.. xorg isn't really used to much for video right now.. it's xrandr. but if you want all the graphic goodies you have to use the right driver.. I'm no expert on the the work-a-rounds to get the rez and configuration correct.. maybe someone else here can guide you in that area. [20:26] ubuntu [20:26] danners: it's better to compile from source.

Hang in there, it is tweaking and turning sometimes, but worth the effort [20:40] thanks x2 [20:40] sensae .. iwlist scan [20:40] sensae: you might load wifi radar.. that will give you a list if you have a gui [20:40] Greetings, I am having major network issues. I cannot connect to the Internet through my router using any Ubuntu variant, while Windows, my PS3/360, PSP, and phone can all connect through the router without any issues.

[20:43] two of my colleagues at work are using it on the desktop, they seem to be finding it mostly okay [20:43] yamanickill: It depends of your opinion about stability.

[20:48] first login as your user [20:49] can someone tell me what plugin/update i need to run the java on this site http://www.wotmud.org/beginner-client.php [20:49] thats why i was wondering how to go abou tit [20:49] ok, thx i'll try [20:49] Xcell brasero is less powerfull than gnomebaker [20:49] vai: i don't know if ubuntu 5.4 can burn isos without another program [20:49] hello there. I've installed ubuntu server. And now I've installed fluxbox as X. When I start it I get message could not connect to xserver. Than I've tryed tp install xinit. But when I do: startx I get: /etc/X11/xorg.conf no such file or directory. What do I have to install to run fluxbox ? [20:49] so i just burn it in iso format is it? [20:49] ok la [20:50] ok let me try using window then [20:50] I only suggested it cuz of the boot screen [20:50] id on't know if brasero is less powerful than gnomebaker, but gnomebaker is more user friendly [20:50] vai: use gnomebaker or brasero [20:50] i'm reading rhythmbox code, any advices to simplify that ? [20:50] drash, darn! I can't find ANY of those headings! That's weird! [20:50] should i extract the file first or just burn the image file in iso format? [20:50] IndyGunFreak: they both work don't they [20:50] Hey can someone help me with Apt-get? [20:50] vai: just burn it [20:50] yamanickill: he shoud buy a life cd then :) [20:50] ok guys [20:50] frojnd, have you install xserver-xorg-core ? [20:50] Hello. I have 1024x768 monitor. But after ubuntu installation I cannot choose right resolution. What can I do? I can see there only 1280x900 and 1280x1024 [20:50] thank you very much.. appreciated [20:50] lgc: that is indeed weird :p .. register and log in, it is hidden if you are not logged in [20:51] far as i know, i tried brasero under gutsy, found it harder to use than gnomebaker, but i guess they both work fine [20:51] Panda200x, what with [20:51] burn image in iso format [20:51] I use baker and it is very easy and powerfull [20:51] Jordan_U: no I haven't I'll right awqay [20:51] I can't get 'build-essentials' [20:51] build-essential [20:51] because if it is bootable that will preserve the boot [20:51] Panda200x: build-essential [20:51] yeah [20:51] without the s [20:51] I spelt it wrong here [20:51] Dwood, FF prompts for the plugin.. I chose java 6 se and it works. [20:51] there you go [20:51] paulinho: i prefer k3b [20:51] it's spelt correct in terminal [20:51] k3b is great. [20:51] 'E: Couldn't find package build-essential' [20:52] but k3b is bigger in ram [20:52] Panda200x, What version of Ubuntu are you using? [20:52] 8.05 [20:52] paulinho: yes but works better i think [20:52] *4 [20:52] hello [20:52] it's linux :-) lot of choices [20:52] IndyGunFreak: ubuntu has the option to burn with nautilus [20:52] <__mor1> mercy on me! how may i have keyring to store password for wireless (using nm-applet)? [20:52] yamanickill: yes it does, but i don't like using nautilus, just personal opinion. [20:52] how can i get ubuntu to log in automatically without requiring user interaction ? [20:52] danbhfive: sry i got a problem with my sister XD Did u read the postbin? ^_^ [20:52] ghabit: watch this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13136/ [20:52] IndyGunFreak: why? [20:52] Panda200x, Can you install *any* packages? [20:52] Jordan_U: so now I just startx ? [20:53] tim67: why?? [20:53] I'll check [20:53] drash, I'm logged in. On the bottom I read that I MAY (post new threads, post replies, post attachments, etc.). [20:53] personal preference [20:53] does anyone have problems with ubuntu 8.04 and sun java? I'm trying to use gotomypc and the java applet keeps freezing before i even login [20:53] tim167: why?? [20:53] frojnd, You may need to do some extra configuration for startx to start fluxbox but 'xinit' should work [20:53] Neuling because i need it to, i did this often, but now i cant use the gnome interface to make the setting [20:53] They all seam to be installed. [20:53] vanithasan [20:54] all, the best and easy method to change official usplash? [20:54] <__mork> hi [20:54] <__mork> again here with my keyring password [20:54] IndyGunFreak: whats so bad bout it? it does the job, and it works. [20:54] lgc: do you see item #2 ? it's a few lines above that [20:54] Panda200x, try updating sudo apt-get update coz i cant think if any reason why you cant install [20:54] blacking -> Startupmanager [20:54] thehurley, I would suggest using port forewarding + ( optionally ) dynDNS + VNC, it's free and open [20:54] artwork do not work in my 8 box. When I click, nothing happens... what to do ?? [20:54] When I modprobe something and set some attributes, how can I make those attribute persistent when I reboot my system? [20:54] Jordan_U: I get some error when I startx [20:54] tnx [20:54] yamanickill: nothing bad about it, i just don't like it... i prefer gnomebaker or k3b.. if others like it, thats awesome. [20:54] <__mork> problem: it seems that i can't save a password in my keyring to have nm-applet remember wpa passwd... any hint? [20:55] IndyGunFreak: i'm not saying you should like it, just interested [20:55] frojnd, What about xinit? [20:55] it's updating [20:55] Jordan_U: just xinit ? [20:55] frojnd, Yes [20:55] IndyGunFreak: its useful because it works nice and easy, and it means i dont have to install more bloatware [20:55] yamanickill: your perogative i guess, i hardly consider gnomebaker bloatware.. [20:55] Jordan_U: also some error [20:56] when did nautilus actually start to be able to do that? cause i don't think feisty could [20:56] IndyGunFreak: not really bloatware...but its less on my system [20:56] drash, oops! I think I found it. I was looking at the bottom of the PAGE, not at the end of the post. Stupid me! [20:56] Hi all! i got a problem with wine installation (after once i completed removed it with synaptic) here is the screenshot http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3886/errorvh1.png and the pastebin of my .source http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13132/ thx alot :D [20:56] lgc: no problem :) hope it works [20:56] frojnd, Can you pastebin the error ( you can use the command 'pastebinit' to use pastebin without a browser [20:56] Where can i find wireless ethernet drivers? [20:57] !wireless | mark-ux [20:57] mark-ux: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [20:57] drash, let me try and continue. Brb. [20:57] Jordan_U, this is work related for my girlfriend, i'm trying to setup a ubuntu 8.04 machine for her to use, but when i try logon to the remote computer in work via gotomypc -- firefox craps out [20:57] 'E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?'

I have no cd available [20:58] is the apt fixed or the not able to install Panda200x [20:58] not apt I fixed the: 'E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?' [20:58] tux: same way you do to a cd. [20:58] sure [20:58] can i burn the cd image on dvd [20:58] tux: of course [20:58] hi @ all [20:59] any X / Mouse guru's in here? I'm having some funky mouse behavior and really could use some help. When I'm in WoW (World of Warcraft -- Played in Wine) my left and right buttons pressed at same time don't act correctly. I've tried: xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2 9" and it correctily binds the right button.. but. [20:59] when I'm trying to press both mouse buttons at the same time that doesn't work [20:59] thehurley, You could try ice tea or again use VNC instead of GoToMyPC ( unless you don't currently have access to the PC of course :) [20:59] but wil it work to install ubuntu [20:59] tux: why wouldn't it? [20:59] cann someone tell me where i can find some infos about gtk and C [20:59] Jordan_U, gotomypc is company policy [20:59] Hi all! i got a problem with wine installation (after once i completed removed it with synaptic) here is the screenshot http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3886/errorvh1.png and the pastebin of my .source http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/13132/ thx alot :D [20:59] :/ [21:00] W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

[21:00] i read in some forums that you needed the dvd image and not the cd image to burn ubuntu on a dvd bootable [21:00] can someone tell me where i can find some infos about gtk and C [21:01] okay thx.. i wil try.. itis possible to resize the partition in ubuntu 8.04 [21:01] tux: i don't see why that would be a problem, i've burned CD images to DVD's w/o issue. [21:01] okay thx [21:01] i need to know which cameras are best for ubuntu hardy heron please [21:01] can anyone tell me about compiz fusion? [21:02] i should have said webcams [21:02] embrik: it's all that fancy gui graphics [21:02] are there plugins for compiz fusion to get it doing those fancy stuff I can watch at youtube? [21:02] lo, [21:02] l [21:02] eyecandy right?

[21:04] lame? too bad quality was what I meant [21:04] mark-ux, it was a joke [21:05] thehurley, Oo ok but can you help me to find a ethernet driver? i got a Nvidia chipset [21:05] "can you help me find my xyz", "where's the last place you saw them" [21:06] embrik, at the samesite you'll find compiz-check, it'll give you a rundown of whether your hardware supports it and what to install driver wise etc. http://forlong.blogage.de/article/pages/Compiz-Check [21:06] mark-ux, sorry, i'm not much of a linux/ubuntu guru; i'm in here looking for help myself [21:06] mark-ux: you need to find out what chipset you're wireless card has then ask again referencing that for a better answer. atheros is supported out of the box typically, broadcom is a little more of a struggle. [21:06] my screensaver unlock dialog is horribly slow. i can't even type my password and end up having to switch to another console to restart gdm. anybody know what's up? [21:06] there ran apt-get update again and it worked, now what [21:06] hi! i've a problem installing postfix... cant install it because of exim...did anybody have this problem? [21:06] you still cant install build-essential Panda200x [21:06] Mark_G, I got a nvidia chipset, WLan [21:07] how can I use pipes ? like this ? xinit > text ? [21:07] how can i make the alt+tab (cool-switch) use windows from all virtual desktop [21:07] s [21:08] Can i paste the error?

[21:09] mark-ux: I'm not sure but I don't think nvidia makes wireless.. [21:09] mmm [21:09] why aren't there any restricted drivers listed in my "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers"? [21:10] Error 21 there is no such hard drive while choosing ubuntu os in grub os selector [21:10] hacim, Should there be any? [21:10] Mark_G, I bought my notebook some months ago, and i'm 100% sure about it. Or they made a mistake. I thought the only made graphics cards, but what could i try? [21:10] wastedfuid: i would expect a broadcom one to be there, for my bcm43 wireless card [21:10] Did you JUST do a fresh install, hacim? [21:11] My friends bcm43 restricted driver won't pop up until she updates totally.. for the new kernel. [21:11] wastedfuid: yes [21:11] Mark_G, Maybe is this easy; My notebook says this: 802.11b/g WLAN [21:11] Do a complete system update, hacim. It should appear afterwards. [21:11] wastedfuid: yeah, I did that first :)( [21:11] You completely updated, and still not restricted driver? [21:12] does anybody else have a slow unlock problem? [21:12] firefox 3 rc1 still not in repos? [21:12] i can't type in my password, it's like the dialog hangs [21:12] wastedfuid: yup, complete update, reboot for the new kernel [21:12] misieq: have a look at collectd.

Am I supposed to reboot even though I haven't done the kernel upgrade in order to see a change? [21:24] Is it possible to completely move an installation of Linux from one partition to another? [21:24] when i tried doing an update [21:24] Hi... i'm trying to fix several bugs in Hardy... one appears to be clocksource, but dont think its related. Since Firefox3 is unusable I need to install Firefox2, but would like not to break anything. Is there a way to do this? [21:24] it was updating skype and some other stuff [21:24] Package xlibs-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source...............Any ideas peeps ?? [21:24] Darlok_Williams: yes, either put all in a tar.gz file and extract it on the other partition or do a binary-copy with dd [21:25] lgc, did you do any of the related stuff regarding pulseaudio at the links i gave earlier ? if so, then yes, pls reboot [21:25] icewaterman: And that would be bootable? [21:25] Darlok_Williams, you can copy an entire partition with 'du'. [21:25] I need some help with the xorg.conf file I read something about modifying the resolution on the file but when I check there were no number on the whole file [21:25] how do I search a proccess [21:25] Is it possible to select a region of text/images of a Webpage in Firefox 3 and then print only that selection? Seems like I could do that in Gutsy, but not in Hardy... [21:25] Darlok_Williams: no you need to change some grub and fstab settings (maybe reinstall grub) [21:25] is there an easy way to install ubuntu on a 1 geg usb [21:25] but it is doable [21:26] Basically looking to install the stable version of Firefox without breaking FF3... last time i tried the profiles seemed to clash [21:26] drash, I'm still at the "Howto: PulseAudio fixes..." post. I've made all the changes up to the point of the kernel upgrade. [21:26] Darlok_Williams, sorry, I mean, 'dd', not 'du'. [21:27] whats the easiest way to migrate back to firefox 2? [21:27] i'm having slight problems with the panel relocating the buttons from time to time. so i was thinking of having a small script that replaces stuff in the panel configuration, is this doable? [21:27] can anybody help me fix my resolution [21:27] firefox 3 is driving me nuts (mostly because of broken extensions) [21:27] lgc: Okay...thank you. [21:27] panicbyte - I'm trying to find that out too... you can install it in synaptic but it breakss profiles [21:27] lgc: ok, did you add any of the tweaks from the puseaudio wiki as well ? i rebooted just for the fun of it, don't know whether it's supposed to be necessary [21:27] ttmontoya: What's the issue? [21:27] I need some help with the xorg.conf file I read something about modifying the resolution on the file but when I check there were no number on the whole file [21:27] panicbyte probably uninstall ff3 then install ff2 [21:28] Dew420, it breaks everything [21:28] drash, no, I haven't. [21:28] Dew420 & panicbyte - Ubuntu is intergrated too much for that to be a good idea [21:28] chazco, i was hoping there was an EASY solution, but you are right [21:28] i'm gonn ahave to do a workaround [21:28] It seems amazing that they shipped it with an unstable beta [21:28] chazco, agreed [21:28] ttmontoya, try "xrandr -s " like xranr -s 1280x1024 [21:29] chazco: That's a very common sentiment here... strange decision. [21:29] It means I cant reliably go online on my laptop... panicbyte - As a temporary solution i guess you could try an alternate browser, but its far from ideal [21:29] chazco, i think you are SOL about the broken profile [21:30] chazco, and so am I [21:30] How can I pipe output of xinit to file.txt ? [21:30] lgc: i have two sound cards, and did some things i don't even grasp right now on a technical level, it sounds great though, so i'm happy for now [21:31] panicbyte - The second post on here sounds interesting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785175&highlight=firefox [21:31] panicbyte, chazco: I had to purge Firefox3 and then install FF2... worked well after that. [21:31] Hi, I'm considering building myself a 10" touch-screen computer (ubuntu tablet;) running a VIA pico-ITX motherboard, but I can't seem to find a fitting power supply for it.. Any ideas what might work? It'd also be nice if I could get it to run on batteries ^^ (but that might be stretching it a bit far..? [21:31] can someone recommend a nice gui client for subversion? [21:31] Darlok_Williams - When i tried that bits of Ubuntu ceased to work correctly... [21:31] scunizi:ttmontoya@ttmontoya-laptop:~$ xranr -s 1280x1024 bash: xranr: command not found didn't work [21:32] filthpig, off the top of my head [21:32] hey, which is the more stable platform as a desktop, ubuntu or kubuntu? [21:32] How about building it on a laptop motherboard? [21:32] chazco, did you upgrade? I did and FF was goofy. after closing FF then "mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.back" and reloading FF it worked great [21:32] ttmontoya, sounds like you don't have the restricted drivers loaded.. is that right? [21:32] the you could use the laptop battery and charger filthpig [21:32] hi all i downloaded a movie its no country for old men 4gb dvd, now when i open it there are .vob files i want to have subtiltes but i dont see where subtitles are [21:32] Col^, those aren't as easy to get, I think. Not that I've tried rally hard either ;) [21:33] Does anyone know why when I try to play World of Warcraft, I click 'play' from launcher, then my screen goes black, then WoW just exits before I even see the login screen? [21:33] scunizi - Nope, using just a fresh install of Hardy has an unusable browser [21:33] Darlok_Williams, will that destroy my profile??? [21:33] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13151/ [21:33] That might be it, what is the command for that [21:33] !wine | miwachiru [21:33] miwachiru, it might not like compiz.. disable compiz and try again. [21:33] miwachiru: 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. [21:33] to get them [21:33] panicbyte: You'll want to backup your ~/.mozilla/ directory first. [21:33] panicbyte: Then just copy what you need back over. [21:33] How do I disable Compiz? [21:33] filthpig, i think that the motherboards for the intel Dothan cpu's should be available [21:34] chazco, weird.. on two of my machines it's noticeably faster then FF2 [21:34] So on bootup, fsck reports errors, then reports a short read and tells me to fsck manually. [21:34] And drops me into a maintenance shell. [21:34] scunizi: how do I get restricted drivers [21:34] miwachiru: System -> Preferences -> Appearance [21:34] Now what do I do? [21:34] How can i make a wireless connection ? [21:34] scunizi - For me its slower, crashes repeatedly and has other issues too [21:34] I need an X/Mouse expert. someone that knows things like xmodmap, xev, xbindkeys, etc... I'm having a bit of a time trying to get my mouse working right (like it did in Ubuntu 7.04 with NO problems) [21:34] ttmontoya, system/administration [21:34] what a fucking mess.... [21:34] !language | panicbyte [21:34] panicbyte: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:34] chazco, sorry to hear that.. :( [21:35] Me too :D [21:35] hi all i downloaded a movie its no country for old men 4gb dvd, now when i open it there are .vob files i want to have subtiltes but i dont see where subtitles are [21:35] chazco, this is such a mess [21:35] chazco: I have found that FF3b5 works pretty well in Fedora 9. [21:35] can someone tell me what plugin/update i need to run the java on this site http://www.wotmud.org/beginner-client.php [21:35] hey, which is the more stable platform as a desktop, ubuntu or kubuntu? [21:35] chazco: I haven't wanted to try it in Ubuntu yet :) [21:35] I also have the clocksource issue with Hardy, any idea how to find out when it will be fixed? [21:35] Disabling Compiz didn't help :( [21:35] Darlok_Williams, nothing wrong with it not being stable, it just broke all the extentions [21:35] Bizzeh: I find Gnome to be more stable (Ubuntu) [21:35] movieplayers: that sounds like movie piracy [21:35] Dwood, did that earlier.. did it not work for you? [21:36] panicbyte: Ah. Yeah, that was the biggest drawback for me too... but I found that FF3 has a lot of other extensions that do what the others did. [21:36] who cares i want to have subtitles on it [21:36] how do I enable public joining on my ssh server???????????????????????? [21:36] Col^, hmm, then I might just buy a cheap laptop, pick it apart and reassemble it in a more fitting manner, don't you think? [21:36] so i can see the text [21:36] Bizzeh, i think Ubuntu is more stable than kubuntu. But if you like KDE environments better than Gnome, then just go for it :) [21:36] Darlok_Williams: which is the better in general? is there any difference except kde? [21:36] panicbyte: It's more of an issue of the extensions' developers not keeping them up-to-date, though... not really Mozilla's fault. [21:36] Bizzeh: Well, there are completely different sets of applications for each. [21:36] filthpig, i would. But you might try and make sure that a battery from a normal laptop can be assembled with a desktop motherboard [21:37] I'm thinking about the powerconnector [21:37] Bizzeh: If you're looking for easy to use, go with Gnome. If you want absolute control over the smallest of details, then KDE may be better for you... but it is a bit more complicated. [21:37] Col^, yeah [21:37] hi all i downloaded a movie its no country for old men 4gb dvd, now when i open it there are .vob files i want to have subtiltes but i dont see where subtitles are [21:37] Is it safe to add "clocksource=hpet" to the kernel command line? [21:37] Maybe there is a guide of making a converter. That would certainly help you in matters of time :) [21:37] Does anyone know why World of Warcraft exits before I see the login screen? The screen turns black then it just exits. I've tried disabling Compiz and it does not work still. [21:37] movieplayers: Try purchasing the movie and keeping your piracy topics elsewhere. [21:37] scunizi: I check and the only drivers Im using are the ones for wireless [21:37] I guess I'll just make a few forumposts and see what tips I get from there :) [21:37] Darlok_Williams, still wasn't wise to use a beta [21:37] panicbyte: Agreed. [21:38] ttmontoya, what kind of video card? [21:38] to make your extensions work with firefox -b5, pls look at http://www.lifehacker.com.au/tips/2008/02/14/make_your_extensions_work_with_the_firefox_3_beta-2.html [21:38] it's updated for beta 5 [21:38] scunizi: ATI rage m3 is old [21:38] fsck help, anyone? [21:38] Hello there. What packages do I have to install to run fluxbox. Can someone gives me an list of it since I'm on ubuntu server. No gui packages installed so far.. Thanx in advanece!! [21:39] Will try to install Firefox2 alongside FF3, so hopefully thats on fix. The clocksource issue can supposedly be fixed with "clocksource=hpet" (hoping its safe). Thanks all :) [21:39] <__mork> why keyring don't ask for password? help! [21:39] miwachiru: Run it from a terminal and watch the output for errors. [21:39] Ok Darlok, I will try that [21:39] <__mork> (daemon is running) [21:39] ttmontoya, ah .. ATI.. unfortunatly I don't know much about the setup of ati.. someone here will.. you need to ask again to the channel and mention the card type and model number.. someone will know. .... usually... [21:39] movieplayers, i'm not a pirate. But if i were. I would use vlc player, maybe that would help you out [21:39] miwachiru: Keep in mind you need to run "wine [filename" from a terminal. [21:39] frojnd: xorg and fluxbox should be enough [21:39] Darlok_Williams: i want control and ease [21:40] scunizi: Thanks anyway [21:40] Hi @ all! why I find only ubuntu desktop 8.04 in a file .iso of 700 MB? [21:40] Darlok: Ok let me try that [21:40] Bizzeh: Then go with Gnome.... you can still customize the crap out of it. [21:40] yes i am using vlc but i dont understand .vob files [21:40] movieplayers: Was it in .ISO format? [21:40] Shinem: what else would it be in? [21:40] no its .vob files [21:40] jbroome: lol [21:40] is there any dvd player on ubuntu [21:40] movieplayers: VLC is an excellent DVD player. [21:40] Can anybody help me fix my resolution Im using an ATI Rage M3 video card [21:41] movieplayers, if it's a divx xvid or any other encoded format. You would be able to see the different subtitle tracks in VLC player [21:41] or if it's a dvd for that matter [21:41] Hi @ all! why I find only ubuntu desktop 8.04 in a file .iso of 700 MB? [21:41] the hyrule scrolls [21:41] Shinem: rephrase? [21:41] !iso | Shinem [21:41] Shinem, it's a disk image? [21:41] Shinem: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [21:41] Shinem, because that's the size of it? It will burn to a cd just burn it slow.. slow.. slow [21:41] well i open the .vob file on vlc i see subtittles select scene when i click there nothing happens [21:41] selam millet [21:42] is iptables not included in hardy by default, anyone? [21:42] !ot | movieplayers [21:42] movieplayers: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [21:42] but the OS is like 3.7 GB...or not? [21:42] Shinem: The CD is compressed... whenyou install it, it will expand. [21:42] movieplayers, open up the movie, not the subtitle [21:42] it downloads stuff off the net [21:42] void^: thanx [21:42] movieplayers: did you check your vlc prefs ? you need to activate the 'advanced' options (right bottom corner) to get those i think ... [21:42] are you sure? [21:42] Shinem: we've all installed from that iso. [21:42] Shinem, yes.. but there are lots of extra stuff on the cd that isn't necessarily installed.. you also have all the installs for Open Office, gimp and many other programs. [21:43] quite, if it was more than 700mb, how would it fit on a cd [21:43] Shinem: No, I'm lying to you :) [21:43] when i open the movie i can only see the movie with out no subtitles [21:43] the ubuntu fairy came and installed it on all of our machines [21:43] I saw it! [21:43] movieplayers: then you're SOL. buy the movie and get the subtitles there [21:43] jbroome: My Ubuntu Fairy thought it was hilarious to install Hoary instead. [21:44] Darlok_Williams: you have upset the ubunty fairy. [21:44] no there is a .vob file when i open it it shows subtitles and sellect scene and main menu [21:44] jbroome: True story. [21:44] because...i've found kubuntu in a desktop version like 3.3 GB... [21:44] movieplayers: Buy the movie. [21:44] can you read ? [21:44] Shinem: there's also a dvd sized .iso available [21:44] and it surprise me [21:44] Now that I've installed all the necessary packages for fluxbox. How can I run it as non rott ? [21:44] Shinem: That's the DVD version... it just contains more software. [21:44] * scunizi suggests putting a couple of quarters under your pillow to satisfy the ubuntu fairy [21:44] uhm... the right version to install? [21:44] dvd or cd? [21:45] doesen't matter [21:45] frojnd: Just don't type "sudo" before running it. [21:45] if you have an internet connection [21:45] yes i've got [21:45] Im trying to install unrealircd... but make is not working. [21:45] frojnd, on boot at the login screen change sessions? to fluxbox. [21:45] Shinem: Just install the CD version. [21:45] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [21:45] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [21:45] Darlok_Williams: erm.. this is a problem only root can run it.. [21:45] opps sorry [21:45] * panicbyte is giving up, he's just gonna deal with firefox 3 [21:45] Shinem: both will work if you check the md5 after downloading and again in the install menu itself [21:45] scunizi: but now I can only run it as sudo startx === sergiumihai is now known as Serg1u [21:45] billenium, unreal.. tournament? [21:46] frojnd: Oh, fluxbox... sorry, missed that. You need to select it from the Sessions menu before you login. [21:46] unrealircd [21:46] Darlok_Williams: I don't have any season yet. I'm installing fluxbox from serevr.. [21:46] First i did ./Config, then make... [21:46] frojnd, remind me what we did.. it's been a while .. [21:46] i am trying to get my hewlett packard deskjet 932c printer working with feisty. plugging it in and trying to print an abiword .doc was unsuccesful. searching hp printer drivers led me to a site which identifies the need for hplip which i see via synaptic that I already have (an older version) installed. What do I do to get hplip to recognize my printer and print when I need it to? [21:46] Is there a way to open a rar archive thats split up into serveral smaller files in 8.04 Amd_64? [21:46] frojnd: select it from gdm,kdm etc. or put in ~/.initrc exec fluxbox and from console login startx [21:46] ok, my ubuntu box motherboard died. I need some of the files off the SATA drive I had, does anyone know if I can pop it into an existing windows machine and read the disk? [21:46] frojnd: Ahh... [21:46] scunizi: I've installed fluxbox and xorg and now I can only run startx as sudo... [21:47] scunizi: and I'm on server right now [21:47] frojnd: typo ~/.xinitrc [21:47] Swian: If you pop that into a new computer, it will most likely boot ubuntu... [21:47] Swian, if it's formatted as ext3 then yes if you load a ext3 driver in windows. [21:47] its not a new computer [21:47] Different* [21:47] frojnd, ah. maybe by sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start .. then ctrl+alt+f7 [21:47] drash: sorry but i haven't understood [21:48] having it boot ubuntu wouldn't be bad as long as the ubuntu drive could read the other windows drive [21:48] If you take the hard drive out of a linux box. And pop it into a different box, it will likely boot ubuntu... since ubunut is on the hard drive [21:48] why doesn't memory card reader work in hardy? It doesn't show up in dmesg either [21:48] drash, I'm back with good news: It works like a charm! Thank you so much! [21:48] So, do electronics stores like Best Buy and Circuit City let you boot a LiveCD on their systems to check for compatibility? Or would they just assume I'm trying to give them a virus? [21:48] Swian: Then just mount the windows hard drive and boom! done! [21:48] rocking, thanks [21:48] Shinem: it's a safety precaution, checking the md5sum guarantees you downloaded a fully operational .ioso to install ubuntu ... [21:48] is there any dvd player on ubuntu [21:48] Rat409: weired.

[21:49] einPaule, copy or move [21:50] I tried cp ./ ../ inside the subfolder [21:50] anyone know where i might find the — symbol on my keyboard?

[21:50] ArrowLance: above tab [21:50] einPaule mv /parentfolder/subfolder/* /parentfolder (I think...)

[22:13] Baltazaar: cool thanks [22:14] whatever01: If you want that even if they have access to the files, you can use some sort of disc encryption, or something simple like GPG to do it.

No one downloads a beta to run it permanently. :s [22:15] What are some good multiplayer fps for linux? [22:15] hey u guys use kubuntu???

[22:18] MuddClub_Guest: shouldn't have done base-dir [22:18] aftertaf: why did you make the switch? [22:18] afteraf you could probably get that out of /proc [22:18] nottha_k, check sessions and disable it [22:18] MuddClub_Guest: you want the base dir of your local install [22:19] In my Monitor Resolution Settings, it shows my display as unknown.

[22:27] ikonia, thanks [22:27] Fosco-: join #winehq [22:27] drash, under System->Preferences I only see "Appearance Preferences" (actually its equivalent in Spanish) and then, under "Visual Effects" I get "None", "Normal" or "Extra". No mention of Compiz whatsoever. [22:27] soir' l'irc [22:27] ikonia: I wrote a tutorial for setting it up with through ubuntu...i just noticed on my xbox that it says access videos on your "windows-based" PC...even though it's Ubuntu [22:27] ikonia: thanks [22:28] taco! [22:28] ikonia: That worked fine, now I just need to install some other dependenacies. [22:28] are you from psp-haks? [22:28] hi i have this problem "E: j2sdk1.4-doc: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [22:28] lgc: I always suspected my lack of spanish would someday haunt me .. i'm afraid this is it :) .. maybe someone jumps in that can help you through this [22:28] danmurf: exactly, so the legailities of the xbox license is nothing to do with ubuntu [22:28] danmurf, because the 360 is setup by default to connect to the upnp server build into wmp11, then it was opened to connect to any upnp server [22:29] lgc: did you try running "ccsm" from the console ? [22:29] Is it possible to redirect an application that runs on a screen 0 to screen 1 ? [22:29] ikonia, no errors in this log [22:29] drash, let me try ccsm. [22:29] Bizzeh: ok thanks :) sorry to ask here, I know it's not strictly an Ubuntu question but I was trying to help other Ubuntu user by writing a tutorial but I don't want to do anything illegal :) [22:29] MuddClub_Guest: you need to enable logging then in the init script, the option is something like -log [22:29] anyway, is there any way to v-sync my desktop to make it so compiz effects dont cause shearing? [22:29] illegal rocks! [22:29] ikonia, ok [22:29] drash, it's not installed. Maybe that's why I don't get any "infamous cube", in the first place. [22:30] Baltazaar: please don't be silly [22:30] lol [22:30] Baltazzar : I agree :) [22:30] and remember, its only illegal if you get caught [22:30] sorry again [22:30] well, I was going to put the tutorial on my website lol [22:30] lgc: yes that would explain things, easily fixed though [22:30] better head over to #slackware [22:30] gxe rocks!!! [22:31] Hi all again, anyone know how i can have a wastebasket icon on my desktop please? [22:31] hi, when i install any program i get "E: j2sdk1.4-doc: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1" [22:31] ? [22:31] drash, I wonder why it isn't included in the standard install. [22:31] i'm trying to compile ffmpeg from source. but for some reason i get libavdevice.a and libswscale.a instead of libavdevice.so etc'... what am i doing wrong? [22:31] langleyo: drag from places folder? === Xcell is now known as me [22:31] langleyo : the exact same as you would on windows "shudder" :) [22:31] dimor: why do you not use the one in the ubuntu repo's ? [22:31] langleyo: take it from the floor, and put it on your desk. ;-) [22:32] kap23d: it just opens the window [22:32] do anyone know how to fully override hicolor theme? [22:32] i get some errors with these ones === me is now known as TheFed [22:32] on TOP of your desk, otherwise it will miss the desktop [22:32] can anyone help me with compiz tab switcher here? [22:32] My onboard NIC died, and so I disabled it in the BIOS and put in a PCI NIC. This works sometimes, however sometimes when I boot the PCI NIC is assigned to eth1 instead of eth0, and then I can't access the network. [22:33] Is there a way to force my PCI NIC to use eth0?

Go to http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html to learn more about this feature. [22:33] Hi! I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on a laptop it gets to "Loading, please wait..." then it ends up on commandline ("ubuntu@ubuntu") - any ideas? [22:33] wheres the places folder? [22:33] lgc: can't vouch for that .. look for simple-ccsm in Synaptic [22:34] ikonia: any idea why i don't get *.so files? [22:34] !bootoptions | ZoRaC [22:34] ZoRaC: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [22:34] it happens only with those 2 libs i mentioned [22:34] for my school department i would like remastering an Ubuntu distro: how can make to start easy my project? tnx [22:34] ZoRaC : did you install the boot loader? [22:34] thanks for your help [22:34] i'm gonna faint [22:35] drash, I'm installing compizconfig-settings-manager. I hope that'll do. [22:35] dimor: pardon ? [22:35] lets pretend i dont know what a places folder is or where it is :) [22:35] blacking : try making your own themes and backgrounds. always an easy place to start [22:35] dimor: .so files are lib files, what libs do you want [22:35] lgc: i use that one as well, works a charm [22:35] minion35: This is before the installation i started. I select the option to install Ubuntu and then after some loading it just stops and shows the commandline :( [22:35] when compile ffmpeg [22:35] ZoRaC : select the option run live cd [22:36] dimor: why are you compilging ffmpeg [22:36] blacking: google turns up http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-linux-mint-livecd-with-remastersys [22:36] dimor: it will break your package manager and it's dependencies [22:36] tnx all [22:36] minion35: I tried that too, it freeze after "runing local bootscript [OK]" or something like that... [22:36] wastebasket icon on desktop howto anyone pls? [22:36] drash, now I can find the 'Advanced effects' entry on the menu... [22:36] the ones coming with ubuntu gave me some errors [22:36] dimor: so why not fix them [22:36] lgc: great .. the cube is near :p [22:36] dimor: rather than blindly compiling a new version that may do nothing [22:36] ZoRaC : what specs are your machine? [22:37] that's kinda too late now... [22:37] dimor: is it ? [22:37] unless there's a way to rollback that install [22:37] dimor: you've not installed anything yet [22:37] yes i have [22:37] ... [22:37] it's an Acer Aspire 1350 [22:37] dimor: ? how have you installed something, it doesn't compile [22:37] does anyone know how i switch on vsync for my desktop? [22:37] do anyone know how to fully override hicolor theme? [22:37] it does compile [22:37] dimor: what have you installed if it doesn't compile ? [22:37] ZoRaC : what processor do you have? [22:37] but not everything i need === ordinateur is now known as iekrc === ajonat__ is now known as ajonat_ === iekrc is now known as ikerc [22:38] drash, looks like I found a treasure trove...:). [22:38] lgc: there's about 20 lines that explain it in detail at http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion , under "Configure Compiz and its plugins" .. take your time to go through it, you just did :) [22:38] how would i execute a .run file ? [22:38] minion35: mobile AMD Athlon XP 2400+ [22:38] h0ax: ./$file [22:38] Can display my current display and refresh rate in a terminal window? [22:39] drash, I'm on this guy's page. But what's that about the 'infamous cube'? [22:39] hi. i am running the desktop x86 version and only one core is found by the kernel on my athlon 64 x2 !! [22:39] Can display my current resolution and refresh rate in a terminal window? [22:39] zorac : what install disk do you have? xi386? [22:39] solsTiCe: show me the output of uname -a [22:39] solsTiCe: how did you determine that? [22:40] minion35: yeah, x386 [22:40] by /proc/cpuinfo and monitor application [22:40] lgc: I think the author is refering to the "hype" that followed after the first youtube appearances of the cube .. [22:40] root@debian-desktop:/home/debian/Desktop# ./et.run [22:40] bash: ./et.run: Permission denied [22:40] eh ? [22:40] solsTiCe: show me the output of uname -a [22:40] 5413567867456890 [22:40] h0ax: sudo chmod 755 $file.run [22:40] http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=moniteursystmekr0.png [22:40] http://pastebin.com/d3ea3655e [22:40] sorry my mastercard number, forget it [22:40] hi! I just installed keepassX via "apt-get install keepassX" but the version that was installed is 0.2.2 on their website is already 0.3.1 for ubuntu. How can i update to the newest version? (I use ubuntu 8.04) [22:40] Do you know if there is gmpc package with plugins? [22:40] zorac : you need to download the version for AMD processors . . . [22:40] Linux soho 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [22:41] minion35: there is an separate version for AMD? *embarrased* [22:41] I've installed fluxbox from server. What package do I have to install so I'll have supported audio ? [22:42] drash, I hope it's that and not some technical issue. [22:42] carstendode, Just download their .deb package from http://www.keepassx.org/downloads [22:42] zorac : yeah their is because the kernal needs to be configured for the specific processor [22:42] :) [22:42] so I will be able to use skype? what packages do I have to install ? [22:42] minion35: I only see a version for 64 bit AMD? [22:42] solsTiCe: thats odd [22:42] Hey, I have two questions. First of all, I need to type sudo modprobe ath_pci to get my wireless working. Is there a way to have that execute on every login so I don't have to type it each time? Also, is there a way to set a default folder for wallpaper that updates automatically instead of having to add wallpaper under the background tab? [22:42] ZoRaC: what do you want to do ? [22:42] ikonia: ok. i reinstalled the ffmpeg from the packages [22:42] but still i need libavdevice.so [22:43] dimor: bit late for that now [22:43] Jordan_U: wont that somehow confuse apt-get? or is "ubuntu" okay with that? [22:43] solsTiCe: is there a BIOS setup option that disables the second core? [22:43] which i don't seem to have [22:43] no, it's fne [22:43] lgc: yep, it took me a while to get the cube going, i had only 3 workspaces and obviously that's one short for a rotating cube :) gdluck [22:43] zorac : is your computer not x64? [22:43] !skype | frojnd [22:43] frojnd: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto [22:43] dimor: is it - how do you know your other stuff was removed and replaced sucessfully [22:43] how do you limit a user so they can only view within a particular directory of the file system? [22:43] minion35: no, it's just a regular Amd Athlon XP [22:43] doubledew: chroot [22:43] doubledew: file permissions or chroot [22:44] how do i install something on ubuntu? [22:44] !synaptic | pawan [22:44] pawan: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [22:44] carstendode, If it's a .deb and it is made for the version of Ubuntu you are using apt will be perfectly happy about it and will know all the needed information about it [22:44] ffmpeg depends on libavcodec, libavformat and libavutil [22:44] !software | pawan [22:44] pawan: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [22:44] drash, do you happen to know if all effects can be used concurrently? I mean, can I go on and merrily check all the boxes without troubes? [22:44] there're all there too [22:44] !software | pawan [22:44] pawan: I suggest you read the basic "welcome to ubuntu" page at http:/www.ubuntu.com [22:44] so i guess nothing's broken [22:44] Jordan_U: Thank you for your help! [22:44] carstendode, np [22:44] stefg: maybe u didn't understand.. I haven't installed any other packages than fluxbox... directrly after server install... does fluxboy byitself support audio drivers ? [22:44] lgc: the only limit to that one is hardware specs .. :) [22:44] drash, s/troubes/trouble [22:44] zorac : well the installation should definatly work . . . try re downloading the file and buring to a different disk. [22:44] frojnd: you'd need alsa [22:44] frojnd, No [22:44] doubledew: you can't stop users from looking at some bits of the filesystem, like system files [22:45] o damn, what's up ? [22:45] I'm actually installing fluxbox now [22:45] doubledew: for reasons which I hope would be obvious [22:45] frojnd: no. The kernel modules package supplies audio drivers. [22:45] minion35: the same CD works fine on a different machine... [22:45] no BIOS setting toenalbe other core. it's working on archlinux. found a bug report #213011 [22:45] frojnd: the server version comes with audio support. What happens when you run 'alsamixer'? [22:45] gordonjcp: so say i want a user to be able to ssh into a machine but be limited to his /home directory. is this possible? [22:45] do anyone know how to fully override hicolor theme? [22:45] !dmix | frojnd [22:45] frojnd: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [22:46] pen: what do you mean [22:46] pen: you can change the theme to another theme [22:46] zorac : i dont honesty know what the problem is so. . . try the forums maybe? sorry [22:46] hola [22:46] ikonia, if I change the theme to a custom theme [22:46] minion35: ok... thanks anyway :) I'll try the forums then... [22:46] follar [22:46] doubledew: not really, they must be able to see things like /bin, /usr etc [22:47] ikonia, if I have the icon for that app, usually that app will use the icon in hicolor [22:47] ikonia, not in the icon theme I install [22:47] ikonia, I don't understand why [22:47] does anyone else have problems with Art Manager on 8.04? [22:47] solsTiCe: hm, interesting... have you considered installing the amd64 version? [22:48] pen: are you sure your theme is using your icon theme [22:48] ikonia, I'm sure [22:48] gordonjcp: well it must be possible in some respects, what if i have a webserver and want to be able to ssh into it to modify a website? obviously those files reside on the machine somewhere, but i wouldn't want that user to be able to go check out whats on the machine [22:48] can someone tell me where to put downloaded pkg's so synaptic will c it [22:49] ikonia, do you understand why problem? [22:49] ikonia, my [22:49] <__mork> hi. seems that autologin on ubuntu stops keyring asking for password. how solve the problem??? [22:49] I think so [22:49] sngsoig: /var/cache/apt/archives (you will need to use sudo for write access to that directory) [22:49] ikonia, just like what I asked, how yo fully override hicolor theme? [22:50] pen: I would have expected changing the icon theme to override it [22:50] ikonia, I did [22:50] doubledew: that's usually done by ftp. google for for the usual way to restrict ssh user logins to certain parts of the dir-tree [22:50] soundray: did that but when i search for anything it wont find it [22:50] ikonia, most of the icon did changed [22:50] ikonia, like the folder icon [22:50] ikonia, but if I have icon for screenlets for example [22:50] olá [22:50] Is there a repository for python and its dependencies? [22:50] ikonia, i won't change because there is already an icon for that in hicolor [22:51] sngsoig: are they dpkg files? [22:51] ikonia, I have to manually replace the icon in hicolor folder to change it [22:51] Hi, does anyone know why this command in cron doesn't kill stunnel 4 "36 23 * * * root killall stunnel4" worked ok in ubuntu but not in kubuntu. is it an issue with kde? [22:51] stefg: thanks, i think that sounds like what im asking about [22:51] sngsoig: sorry, are the .deb files? [22:51] soundray: yes ....deb [22:51] My laptops keyboard stops responding erratically in Ubuntu and the numlock key turns on. I DO however see keypress events from showkey [22:51] is there a way I can keep a list of the applications installed to reinstall them after i reinstall hardy?

[23:00] pawan, Compiz requires 3D acceleration which vmwre fusion does not yet provide ( AFIK at least ) [23:00] solusian: mount it in Windows and do a clean shutdown [23:00] soundray: Okay, thanks.

[23:03] Is there a repository for Python and its dependencies? Everytime I try and install a depedency, it needs other dependencies and none are in the standard repository? [23:04] <__mork> hi. seems that autologin on ubuntu stops keyring asking for password. how solve the problem??? [23:04] lgc: you might want to check the settings for some other stuff, i'll check it, never tried rotzting an avi .. brb [23:04] Ubuntu9025, so you did sudo gedit /etc/filename [23:04] BOZG: because your compiling from source [23:04] Gin: run firefox -safe-mode and see if it still crashes [23:04] BOZG: it's up you to meet the dependencies [23:04] did one of the latest updates mess up something with signal.h or sigcontext.h? one of my applications no longer compiles and complains theres no makerule for sigcontext.h [23:04] BOZG: python and all the libs and dependencies are in the core ubuntu repo [23:04] Has anyone gotten the usbconnect 881 working on ubuntu?

(Ctrl-Alt-F2) [23:05] lgc: mine 'sticks', and this is an old card, pretty sure it's some obscure setting [23:05] ikonia: So far I've had to get PyCairo, Cairo, libxml, pixman, freetype, fontconfig, pygtk 2.0 and none have been in the repos. [23:05] FooAtari: works now. i was misstyping :) [23:05] ikonia: make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/include/asm-i386/sigcontext.h', needed by `navigator_interface.o'. Stop. [23:05] thanks! [23:05] good stuff Ubuntu9025 :) [23:05] BOZG: of course they are in the repo's [23:06] My laptops keyboard stops responding erratically in Ubuntu and the numlock key turns on. I DO however see keypress events from showkey. It is not working currently so I am using an external keyboard [23:06] how do you get out of a virutal terminal [23:06] ikonia: and /usr/include/asm-i386/sigcontext.h does not exist [23:06] soundray, yes, with my user and pwd [23:06] themoebius: so it's saying that header is not where it should be [23:06] ikonia: Not for me and all my repos are enabled. [23:06] xsnoopyx: Alt-F7 or Alt-F9 [23:06] anyone tell me how to put wastebasket icon on my desktop please? [23:06] BOZG: no - you just don't really know what your doing [23:06] thanks [23:06] lgc: do you have v4l (video 4 linux) as your output module in the player you use ? might be related [23:06] drash, or maybe it's just that Compiz is not prepared for that yet. [23:06] SeaPhor: from there, check the permissions of your home directory with ls -ld $HOME [23:06] ikonia: right and my hypothesis is that one of the latest glibc updates broke it because this used to compile fine. [23:07] drash, how do I check that? [23:07] BOZG: do an apt-cache search libxml and you'll see all the libxml packages [23:07] BOZG: for example [23:07] !icons | langleyo [23:07] langleyo: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop?

[23:07] themoebius: I wouldn't expect an update to remove the headers [23:07] BOZG: because your getting packages that don't exist [23:08] SeaPhor: are you mounting the extra partition on /home or on /home/yourusername ? [23:08] lgc: you should now i guess, i activated that option via a xorg.conf switch for my (nvidia) card [23:08] lgc: i'll paste my xorg.conf, give me a moment [23:09] ikonia: I'm copy and pasting what packages I'm told I need and doing apt-get install. How could I be trying to install packages that don't exist? [23:09] BOZG: exactly [23:09] lol [23:09] BOZG: you don't really understand what your doing, so you should probably not be doing this [23:09] hmmn, linux especially as a desktop is far more stable than it used to be [23:09] ikonia: Then please explain to me how I do it. I want to install avant-extras. [23:10] How else can I install it? [23:10] guys i ca't get the rastageeks ov51x to work [23:10] :-( [23:10] Bizzeh: do you have a support question? [23:10] soundray, on /home, and the output is drwxrwxrwx 72 wbc wbc 4096 /home/wbc [23:10] BOZG: building software from source is not aware of the package manager so when it says "I want libxml" it doesn't mean I want the package "libxml" it means I want a component from the libxml application/libary/headers - it's up to you to find out the correct package name to get the files your software wants [23:10] ikonia: I think it changed /usr/include/asm-i386 to simply /usr/include/asm and the include path is hard-coded into the makefiles [23:10] sorry...i want my wastebasket on desktop not kubuntu [23:10] lgc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13168/ (mind you, this could be different for your setup, but try adding the switch anyway) [23:10] soundray: no, just making a general comment about my experiance so far [23:10] themoebius: that would be a big change [23:10] SeaPhor: it shouldn't be writable to anyone but wbc [23:11] Bizzeh: please use #ubuntu-offtopic for that [23:11] does anyone know anything about installing webcams?

[23:12] BOZG: then compile it [23:12] Bizzeh: maybe we didn't know the answer [23:13] Bizzeh: maybe we didn't see it [23:13] drash, let me take a look at that in a while.
