[00:33] Redian: ok [00:33] i know i lost my text file of what i had typed [00:33] i forgot the name of it and where its located [00:33] tux97: You lost the config file? [00:33] fwaokda: what do you want to ctrl alt del for? [00:33] Redian: do you mean file permissions? [00:33] chaqu1: yes. Install the package -- it puts a tar.gz into /usr/src [00:33] tux97: ohh okay [00:33] i mean my how to file [00:33] My sound has left the computer... I had sound.. Now I don't. Alsamixer shows that all I have is a microphone, of course it's reading some usb device that I don't have... [00:33] userwaldo: Yeah, he's trying to make it so three users can access a folder [00:33] I have an Intel Core 2 Duo, which has 64-bit support, and I would like to utilize that. On the download page, I select " 64bit AMD and Intel computers" under the category "What type of computer do you have?", but it gives me ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso -- ...amd64.iso? Is that acceptable? [00:33] ~_~ [00:34] Do you have to restart Ubuntu for "users" and "groups" to take effect? [00:34] Redian: you need to create a group and give the group permissions to the file [00:34] some packages download stuff itself when installing them, e.g. macromedia flash and ms fonts. that's a mess, who agree? [00:34] no restart the services belkinhelp2 [00:34] soundray extract it to desktop? [00:34] chaqu1: extract this somewhere and do what you did before: make and sudo insmod ov51x-jpeg.ko [00:34] Redian: there are 3 levels of access. user, group, and world [00:34] #mossoro [00:34] my fn-keys arent working, can any1 help?

[00:35] ok redian whats the name of it [00:35] Redian: he will want to change the group permissions, and also make sure that the file is owned by the group [00:35] chaqu1: yes, put it on the desktop if you don't mind it sitting there [00:35] tux97: ports.conf [00:35] hmm re-nationalizing [00:35] ty redian [00:35] mbuntu001, my update manager hangs when trying to update to 8.04 [00:35] soundray i can delete it when im through?

[00:36] Can someone help me with Wireless troubleshooting? [00:36] belkinhelp2: I think you may have to change the owner of the folder to the group [00:36] Tux97.....i just addes a list of users into a group. I dont see that group as an option under the Permissions tab of the folder im trying to share with others on teh same PC [00:36] fwaokda: if you want to kill a program then open Terminal and type 'top' to see the process [00:36] oh ok [00:36] what if my mouse doesn't work (ie the system hangs completely, so perhaps I can only reboot) [00:36] userwaldo: Wow...the support channel is tricky. All this targeted messaging in one huge mass >.< [00:36] fwaokda: if your system seems to have hung then use ctrl + alt + backspace [00:37] k [00:37] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13182/ [00:37] soundray :-( [00:37] ty redian now i forgot my port number i gave to my router lol [00:37] mbuntu001, is there a way to update to 8.04 through shell? maybe the something is up with the update manager [00:37] the share folders option seems to want to install services for Unix or Windows...im not trying to share across a network...just on the same PC....ARGH [00:38] Redian: you just have to learn to filter out what you is not aplicable [00:38] I feel so Linux illiterate [00:38] tux97: lol [00:38] does any one know in compiz how to make each of your dessktops a different wallpaper [00:38] fwaokda: have you tried changing your update sources in Software Sources?

[00:39] how to free the lock? [00:39] please [00:39] is there simple way to have timed alerts or alarms on ubuntu? [00:39] Redian: double check that you have no reason for the lock to be there, then just delete the lock file [00:39] chaqu1: would you mind unpacking and compiling that again? [00:39] mbuntu001, i see where to do it but idk what to change to [00:40] Can someone help me with Wireless troubleshooting? [00:40] fwaokda: go to System -> administration -> Software Sources [00:40] mbuntu001, the update manager didn't have a problem downloading stuff it was like 15% through when it froze [00:40] RenatoSilva: "Flannel: Redian: double check that you have no reason for the lock to be there, then just delete the lock file" [00:40] I keep getting this error when I boot Ubuntu 8.04: ata1.01 Status: {DRDY} - Anyone know how to fix it?

[00:42] !checkinstall | W8TAH, a better way [00:42] W8TAH, a better way: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[00:43] Flannel where would I find that config file [00:43] ok...i must have screwed something up here. The list of "groups" in the "User and groups" tab has just triplicated itself...in other words i know have 3 listing of user, admin, ntp, audio, scanner, etc [00:43] pushpop: I have no idea [00:43] heh ok [00:43] thx [00:43] RenatoSilva: /var/lib/dpkg/lock you mean?

Autostarted applications only start as the user who started them [00:46] Flannel: Synaptic told me to run dpkg --configure -a [00:46] tuna: root shouldn't be doing anything in X [00:46] soundray: Okay, well how do I make it work if there ARE symlinks? And Gnome's search for files app doesn't let you search recursively either. [00:47] Flannel: I know.

[00:48] branstorm, thanks [00:48] i see redian my laptop wont take hardy [00:48] tux97: Or yeah, init stuff, but I dont think that'd work with the GUI [00:48] hmm don't see it in the resportory I tried gsynaptics but it says xorg not configure to use it [00:48] but, depending on if it just needs ot be run vs running in your session, [00:49] chaqu1: let's install a package called checkinstall. This will let you generate a .deb package with the driver. This makes it easier to uninstall. [00:49] tux97: Aww, too bad, its nice.

Radit Did you understand what we were saying [00:57] chaqu1: it should run 'make install' for you, but instead of putting the files directly into the system, it puts it into this .deb package, which allows apt to keep track of the installed files. [00:58] chaqu1: does it seem to be working? [00:59] chaqu1: if you're unsure, please run 'dpkg --contents packagename.deb' and pastebin the output [00:59] anyone in Arkansas?

[01:03] netshark: Both. It depends on whether you get the remix CD or the non-remix CD [01:03] soundray: no i got the package thing to work [01:03] puff: bad news, I think that's a hardware fault [01:03] chaqu1: did you install it? [01:03] soundray yes [01:03] Flannel: what about the DVD it has the K included ? [01:04] the normal Ubuntu is bassed on what ?

[01:05] yo RedEyess hi [01:05] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13188/ [01:05] WOOO [01:05] Ok.. I am back to try and get help with my drives again. [01:05] say it kinda works!!!! [01:05] are intel's 3945 wireless network drivers in the kernel for 8.04? [01:05] fwaokda: Er, did you manually change this to hardy already? [01:05] trying to resize an HFS+ partition with the 8.05 liveCD, and everytime i use qtparted, parted, or gparted it says the drive is busy.. it is not mounted, and i have done swapoff -a [01:05] whats up? [01:06] how do i use rhythmbox and ardour simultaneously [01:06] chaqu1: if it kinda works, we've done all the right things. You may have to set some parameters as suggested by that wiki [01:06] NitroGlyceriX, I dont, see why not , if it's a bash script you use to start them put & at the end of each line , one command per line [01:06] soundray: the image is all sorts of messed up it shows three of me [01:06] no, i've tried to upgrade through the update manager twice and it got to about 15% both times and then froze the entire system [01:06] or I mean hardy heron 8.10? [01:06] Which Nvidia driver set should I use for the GeForce 8800 gt if I want to have full utilization of Compiz Fusion, Xinerama, and dual monitor support? [01:06] soundray you have my permission to log off thank you and goodnight [01:06] fwaokda What does your sources list look like [01:06] RedEyess, hardy is 8.04, 8.10 is not out yet [01:06] chaqu1: how generous of you [01:06] Jack_Sparrow, , http://paste.ubuntu.com/13188/ [01:07] Pelo, just adding the character '&' and that's all ? [01:07] Pelo: Ok. [01:07] soundray :-) [01:07] Flannel, no, i've tried to upgrade through the update manager twice and it got to about 15% both times and then froze the entire system [01:07] fwaokda: alright, well, we can do this manually. I'd sort of like those sources to still say gutsy, but we can just verify that we have te right metapackages installed. [01:07] chaqu1: seeing three of you is a common side effect of alcohol ;) [01:07] fwaokda: I saw you the first time [01:07] how do i use rhythmbox and ardour simultaneously? [01:07] NitroGlyceriX, adding & at the end of the line will tell it to go to the nesxt line when the current prog is started and not wait for it to end before executing the next one [01:07] Flannel: I don't understand why packages of Feisty for example, are not seen by APT on Gutsy [01:07] Flannel, ya - just making sure didn't know if you would see without your name there ;) [01:08] does Art Manager crash with heorn for anyone else? [01:08] RedEyess, intel stuff is generealy pretty well supported in linux in general [01:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13190 [01:08] I was going to open a ticket on this: e1000 thinkpad T60p ping 1000ms every other packet in 8.04 ; I've seen a few work arounds tried everything, one workaround works but seems to contribute to hanging the laptop...

I don't know how to fix this. [01:08] minion35, just go directly to the art-gnome website [01:08] RenatoSilva: because you don't have the feisty repositories still enabled [01:08] I am booted up on the live CD now. [01:08] Flannel: they need to be reffered by some additional repository, even if the package is the exact same version on Gutsy and Feisty [01:08] CorpseFeeder, what parttion is ubuntu on ? [01:08] Anyone else familiar with the e1000 thinkpad 1s ping time problem? [01:09] Pelo: I know but there are times when I am using GNOME network manager and it just doesn't work. [01:09] soundray: So I guess what I'm wondering is, what now? Should I just work through all the blocks in fsck and take the default value? [01:09] CorpseFeeder.. change the boot order of your drives in your bios [01:09] Flannel: but the package is exactly the same version [01:09] fwaokda Looks ok, did you apt-get update after you # out the awm at the bottom.? [01:09] how do you run 2 jack programs at the same time? [01:09] Pelo : I did i just liked using Arts Manager from past editions :) [01:09] pelo : #!/bin/sh [01:09] festival --server & [01:09] gpsdrive, but festival does not seem to 'work' [01:09] RenatoSilva: what? I don't understand what you're saying. [01:09] Flannel: APT would consider that package on cache as a Gutsy package [01:09] puff: you can run fsck -y instead [01:09] Flannel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/13191/ [01:09] RenatoSilva: right, because it doesn't know about the feisty ones === hiphophippotamus is now known as reiser [01:09] Flannel: I mean you have package aaa-1.2.3u3 [01:09] CorpseFeeder, when you get error 17 type enter, then select the correct line fromteh grub menu , hit e to edit , select the root line, and change the (hd0,0) bit to reflect the location of your ubuntu partiton === reiser is now known as bender [01:10] Jack_Sparrow, idk what your talking about :( im kinda new to ubuntu [01:10] Flannel: it is both in Gutsy and Feisty repos [01:10] puff: but I don't think it'll fix your drive. If you're lucky you'll be able to backup (some of) your data [01:10] fwaokda: Is this an Ubuntu box? Alright, we'll need to switch those repos back.

[01:10] RenatoSilva: But if you don't have the feisty ones enabled, it doesn't know anything about them. [01:10] Flannel: I've got it in Feisty, store it on a cd and put it on APT cache of Gutsy [01:11] RedEyess, try haveing a look i hte forum www.ubuntuforums.org [01:11] Flannel, ok 1 sec [01:11] soundray: How do I exit out of fsck? quit and control-c don't seem to work. [01:11] Pelo, that's okay, dont't know how I remembered that but I put a double & after the festival --server, that seems to 'work' ;) [01:11] RenatoSilva: mind taking this to #ubuntu-offtopic with me? This is getting away from support, and we'll have a lot less noise there anyway [01:11] Flannel: as Gutsy repos declares that same version exactly, it is supposed to "see" that package, which doesn't happen [01:11] fwaokda try this.. sudo apt-get update [01:11] how do you run 2 jack programs at the same time? [01:11] Pelo: I am sometimes not sure where to look... because wireless networking works sometimes... and sometimes not [01:11] Jack_Sparrow: no, he's gotta get his metapackages in order first [01:11] anyone know off hand what programs saslauthd uses? [01:12] Jack_Sparrow, ok that worked whatever it did [01:12] puff: you need to hit Enter, then Ctrl-C very quickly before the next prompt [01:12] Which Nvidia driver set should I use for the GeForce 8800 gt if I want to have full utilization of Compiz Fusion, Xinerama, and dual monitor support?

[01:13] fwaokda: you need to open it as the super user, alt-f2 then `gksu "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"` [01:13] LadyNikon, should be listed in the details [01:14] Pelo: it will only tell me.. my package to install.. [01:14] Flannel go for it... but you do mean feisty to gutsy then to hardy right [01:14] okies ill look [01:14] fwaokda: Save that, but don't bother closing the editor, since we'll be needing it again in a minute [01:14] DemonicButthead: xinerama cannot work with compiz (or any other composite manager) on nvidia [01:14] LadyNikon, if you already ahve it install check in synaptic, look in the properties [01:14] Jack_Sparrow: Is he on Feisty? I thought he was on gutsy. Or, well, roll back to whatever he's got. Then go one further [01:14] hi there, quick question [01:14] Im trying to modify xorg.conf file but i wont let me save it,how do I do it [01:14] im playing a game called soldat in wine [01:14] fooks, go for it [01:14] Flannel I was just going by what you told me [01:14] Jack_Sparrow: oh, I meant gutsy, not feisty. Still not into the whole "hardy is out" bit. [01:15] however, when i close it doesn't put my screen resolution back to normal [01:15] fooks, ask in #winehq [01:15] so i have this itty bitty screen res and have to restart x to get it back to normal [01:15] argh, this is not working. [01:15] Pelo: properties will tell me all the programs that uses a specific part of a program. [01:15] Pelo: um.. the first one. There are two hard disks. a 200Gb IDE and a 200Gb sata. I don't know which is which when I installed it because the installer does not differentiate between sata and ide. But I installed the root directory and swap space to the first drive in the list and the entire of the second drive in the list as /data. DemonicButthead: I tried changing the boot order in BIOS and it would not boot at all. [01:15] ttmontaoy: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:15] Crdlb.. so if I use xinerama.. just because I can't use compiz or any other component manager doesn't mean I'm not getting full use of my graphics card necessarily?

Last thing I saw was before I gave you the pastebin link [01:39] can anyone tell me where i can find some block lists? [01:39] danbhfive: It was working fine for about 6 months until today..

Maybe you can reconfigure xorg, then reinstall nvidia-drivers, and leave off compiz for now [01:42] outside of my depth then [01:42] sorry [01:42] <|[Petey]|> i tried to restart network services (/etc/init.d/networking restart) and that didn't work either [01:43] SeaPhor: I think it comes up under /media/disk/boot/grub....

What hardware are you even talking about? [02:30] VGA driver for a Radeon HD3650 [02:30] mookinator1313, basically, if you're running ubuntu you probably have every driver ("kernel module") already available [02:30] bazhang: ok, i have been asking in there too as well as #nvidia but thanks anyway [02:31] i am very frustrated, my browsers keep crashing epiphany and firefox. i use flash tutorials for playing instruments and they keep crashing, there has to be a solution. any suggestion would be appreciated [02:31] ok, so, then i dont need to install any drivers?

[03:16] tmapj, the ubuntu package will probably have it start at boot by default [03:16] klepto: I don't know why it's not showing up then, but you do need to install the nvidia driver somehow [03:16] ok I downloaded supergrubdisk, but when I burned it to a cd, it couldnt get supergrub to start [03:16] belorix112, what nvidia card do you have? [03:17] tmapj, you can check for a file like Sxxipblock in /etc/rc2.d/ (xx == 2 digit number) [03:17] any other ideas how I can fix this grub error 22 problem?

[03:18] supergrubdisk isnt working [03:18] klepto: nvidia-glx-new [03:18] tmapj, though, like i said, i'm fairly sure the package would set it to start at boot by default [03:18] klepto: then run: sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 [03:18] you can also look to see if it is running with `ps -elf | grep ipblock` [03:18] and reboot [03:18] Seaphor, it isnt working, ive already tried restarting and stuff after unchecking it and rechecking the box it isnt working, before i had to reinstall the restricted driver but IDK how [03:19] what does this mean You have been killed by services2.dal.net ((Autokilled: You match the pattern of a known trojan, please check your system with a cleaner from http://www.moosoft.com or Swat-it from http://www.lockdowncorp.com/bots/downloadswatit.html [AKILL ID: OS21211163314-100])) [03:19] I've tried whistling dixie, standing on my head, and appeasing the gods, also RTFM, but Linux just doesn't see it.

[03:20] orudie, sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop [03:20] Seaphor, in restricted driver it says not in use no matter what i do, hence the reason i need to reinstall it but IDK how [03:20] Pimps: that's something that has to do with dalnet. I think http://klines.dal.net might have some more information on it, but that's not exactly something for this channel [03:21] i am unable to connect to that site [03:21] Pimps: er, it's http://kline.dal.net [03:21] belorix112, check to see if it is blacklisted, 1 sec while i get the how to on that [03:21] Hi people - I'm wondering how to network two ubuntu computers together using one cable computer to computer [03:21] Hello. [03:21] Flannel, you here? trying to update through terminal didn't work it froze up again. I'm noticing though the freeze ups are random because the system has frozen up recently when it wasn't upgrading. [03:21] charlie_, make a crossover cable [03:21] yep [03:21] charlie_, or buy one [03:22] I have one [03:22] !offtopic [03:22] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:22] hey, where are the mozilla icons? [03:22] does that mean I have a trojan? [03:22] Do I need Ubuntu x64 to run more than 3.2GB of RAM ? [03:22] you do [03:22] Daisuke-Laptop, me ? [03:22] fwaokda: alright, hit ctrl-alt-f1 to get to a tty (ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to your GUI) and then login there and do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [03:22] I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu.

[03:22] fwaokda: We're hoping the freezes are GUI only, ad not full system, so we'll hopefully b able to finish if we do it without a GUI [03:23] Inazad, /join #php [03:23] Daisuke-Laptop, Speaking of 64bit, I have a quad core Intel Q6600 , that Is 64bit right? Right now I am using 32bit ubuntu with 3GB ram. If I had 64bit, would It run faster? A lot faster? [03:23] Flannel, ok TY so much -- this would be eons harder without you buddy ;) [03:23] I'm also new to XChat -- or any irc, as opposed to IM, so forgive me if I seem to be fumbling.

[03:23] charlie_, 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 are usually good choices [03:23] hey does anybody know how to generate a new ip for ubuntu? i just noticed that i have the same default ip since installation [03:23] belorix112, ok try this, just look for now,, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:24] klepto: you installed nvidia-glx-new ? [03:24] yep - anything else [03:24] yes [03:24] Daisuke-Laptop, I know Intel Q6600 supports 64bit. Just wondering if it's worth the switch to the x64 OS, since I know there's software compatibility issues [03:24] SeaPhor Please use gksudo gedit.... [03:24] klepto: I don't know why it would say that then [03:24] MaloMax, This is just the support channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic [03:24] klepto: the default is 24 though, so it might be ok [03:24] what do i need in order to play dvds? [03:24] max_: the compatibility issues are minor and most center around proprietary software, especially java and flash [03:24] !dvd | Lapinux [03:24] Jack_Sparrow, yes, sorry forgot to edit the copy/paste [03:24] Lapinux: 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 [03:24] hey how would i set up a new ip address [03:25] so just leave it alone or just take out -d 24? but still run that command?

I know some versions of linuix come confi9gured for this alreaddy but I cant remember how to do it? NE One? [03:25] max_: you will probably see a bit of an improvement, but nothing insanely drastic, i would imagine [03:25] Daisuke-Laptop, Ah, ok that helps a lot. I know how to fix flash for x64, and Java I could care less about [03:25] Daisuke-Laptop, I heard its about 10% performance, CPU wise [03:25] bderrly: what tool do I use to set the IPs in the same netblock [03:25] justin_ change your mac address and that should change your ip address [03:25] charlie_, /sbin/ifconfig [03:25] iliyas: when starting xchat with a url, you need to use "xchat --url=irc://server.name/channel" [03:26] HELP:: I need to reinstall the Nvidia Restricted Driver, No matter what i do it says not in use in restricted drivers. please HELP [03:26] Daisuke-Laptop, But with 4 cpu cores, I rarely run 80% of my cpu anyway [03:26] Pimps: hey how do i do that?

[03:27] iliyas: I don't remember what it was [03:27] where are the icons for firefox located in the filesystem? [03:27] max_ with 4 cores, if you aren't use them, you might think about donating time the computer isn't being used towards a boinc project. pretty neat stuff [03:27] Can anyone point me to info on how to get Hardy to recognize a second ethernet card? [03:27] ibleed, links? [03:27] Jordan_U, they were in restricted Drivers when i installed [03:27] max_, one second [03:27] belorix112, then paste the contents to pastebin and give me the link [03:27] ok yeah i think i tried that already and it didn't work, once im in ifconfig how do i generate a new one? [03:27] I get a ton of errors on the terminal when installing ndiswrapper [03:27] justin_: you want to change your ip public ip right not private? [03:27] is that a problem or all cool === Kolie2 is now known as Kolie [03:28] yeah public [03:28] ok === Kolie is now known as kolie [03:28] What? Suddenly my nvidia driver disappeared! No compiz! Anyone else have that problem? [03:28] do you have a router [03:28] Hey guys i just added a user to my ubuntu server. How do i add them to the same usergroup that i am a part of. So that they can use sudo?

But when I'm not working at home, my computer is pretty idle. Overclocked quad core processor, 3.0ghz with 3gb DDR2 800mhz [03:28] what make and model is it [03:28] Maybe restarting would help. [03:28] lynksys-G [03:29] need the serial? [03:29] so i need to basically log into my router and set it up from there ? [03:29] max_ that would be a good use if its idle. i've got a dual core 3.0 non-overclocked. its comforting to know that while my computer isn't doing anything, its at least doing something positive for the world [03:29] Hi...Is the compiz on Ubuntu the fusion fork or simple compiz? [03:29] stoneDJay: it's compiz-fusion [03:29] stoneDJay: compiz fusion is not a fork of compiz [03:30] crdlb: isnt? [03:30] it is purely complimentary to compiz [03:30] hmm ok [03:30] what is the best way to mount a network drive thats fat32? I am trying to get better transfer speeds than 3.8MB/sec [03:30] join #perl [03:30] could anyone tell me what the channel is for ubuntu studio? #ubuntustudio doesn't exist [03:31] http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/CompizFusionVsCompiz [03:31] ibleed, Well, the hotter your CPU is, the less it's life-span. Also here in the desert, leaving my computer on all day makes my apartment hot as heck. But it's on anyways, so a few more cycles wont hurt my wallet anyway. The CPU its self only cost a hundred bucks or so [03:31] belorix112, I'm sorry but i dont know how to re-install a restricted driver that came with your ubuntu install, other than looking for it on the live cd, but even then that is something i have never done yet [03:31] what serial? [03:31] hi folks, can I download gutsy to hardy update to a disk? [03:31] How do i add a user from the commandline? [03:31] I love the world.

[03:32] Flannel: btw will be updating a dell preinstalled ubuntu [03:32] i dont know how to get to it to get rid of it [03:32] spx2, nice [03:32] can somebody help me with an amarok issue? [03:32] spx2, ima steal that ok ? [03:33] max_: feel fr33 ! [03:33] nick_: what be the problem ? [03:33] joshual: that's fine. Yes, you can upgrade gutsy to hardy via the alternate CD (not the Desktop CD): http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ [03:33] belorix112, i would ask again in chanel but be specific, how to install a restricted driver for abcd-vidcard [03:33] justin__: with linksys routers you should be able to clone your mac address [03:33] yeah [03:33] i can play WAVs in amarok but i can't add them to my collection [03:33] awesome thanks Flannel [03:33] How to share wifi internet connection (ath0) with another computer via ethernet (eth0) [03:34] mookinator1313, I installed pulse, liked it for a sec. Then had to remove it. [03:34] max_, its up to you. i keep my computer on all the time, so its a no brainer for me. i've also got good enough cpu cooling to not worry about it. i went through a hurricane here with a broken ankle, so i have no issues helping cure cancer or contributing to weather prediction super computing. [03:34] do you know how to clone your mac address already? [03:34] spx2, what's that? [03:34] I'm connected now with ath0 (wifi), and firestarter keeps telling me eth0 is not ready when trying to enable connection sharing [03:34] how do i remove pulse? [03:34] does anyone here know the virtual midi keyboard? [03:34] in your routers config menu [03:34] spx2, looks interesting though :) [03:34] ok im logged in, and im looking at the basic setup menu that has the ip info but nothing that will allow me to change it [03:34] How do i Add a user to the sudors file? [03:34] ok [03:34] does anyone know how to get LAN file transfer speeds above 4MB/sec? [03:34] orionr, sudo visudo [03:34] how can i get lan transfer speed above 2 mbps? [03:35] ok i cloned my pc's mac address [03:35] ibleed, My main computer has no good cooling, right now sensors say 57C for all cores.... but its like 94F ambient temp [03:35] Pimps hey so i cloned my mac address [03:35] Is the package search page down [03:35] ? [03:35] risingphoenix: it's been down intermittently for a while [03:35] Thanks [03:36] ouch max_. i'm at 40F at idle and it never gets 10 degrees past that. you might want to look into something. cpus are too valuable to let anything happen to them [03:36] ibleed, But I just bought a computer for the office, quad core, with a super badass traditional cooler, which should keep it cool. This means that I will have two quad core computers running 24/7, and most of the time they will be idle. [03:36] mahuyar: I don't have enough space on this machine to back up my windoze partition,so what I do is spit out all the characters of the windoze partition and pipe it through the network to a computer who has more space to store it,that's about it :) [03:36] (Novice user) Okay, here is my problem. I wiped my desktop hard drive and installed XP and Ubuntu on 2 partitions. Internet works fine in XP. Internet does not work in Ubuntu. I also have wubi ubuntu on my laptop, and the internet works fine in the laptop ubuntu. This is a wired connection... [03:36] Is there a way to boot ubuntu from the CD ROM drive? [03:36] <_Andrew> risingphoenix, you put in the live cd [03:36] ibleed, 40F is almost freezing temperature. You sure you dont mean 40C ? [03:36] yes under setup click on clone mac address [03:36] risingphoenix: put the cdrom in the drive ? [03:36] Jack_Sparrow, just a question but if someone messes up their restricted drivers for vid card and needs to re-install it, would it work to delete the xorg.conf file and let it be rebuilt or is there better way (backing up of course)? [03:36] risingphoenix: check bios settings for boot sequence.. [03:37] max_, there are teams you can join too on the different projects you can join, so if you could join boinc's team ubuntu, or another team, that your fond of or start your own. [03:37] spx2, quite nice .. thanks.. i'm gonna take a note of it too. :) [03:37] yes max_ 40C :) [03:37] so does anyone know why i can't add WAV files to my collection in amarok? [03:38] I'm connected to internet using wifi (ath0)... I need to share this wifi internet connection with another computer using ethernet (eth0)... I'm using Firestarter firewall to set up the sharing, but it keeps telling me eth0 is not ready.... [03:38] you will only be able to do this once to change your public ip address once you have done it you will have to change your mac address with ifconfig then clone it again [03:38] When I had windows on it, I could press f12, get the bios and booted the ubuntu desktop cd rom [03:38] Is there a way to reset my built in keyboard on my laptop? something keeps getting changed making it unusable [03:38] SanitariuM, why would you share wifi with a comp using ethernet? [03:38] ibleed, Grid computing is an awesome thing. Some day It will lead to the harmony of humanity and birth of AI, IMHO. [03:39] Now I want to try the sever cd, but hiiting f12 and selecting cd doesn't work [03:39] Router belongs to my neighbor upstairs, I use wifi to get the signal, I cannot run an ethernet cable from the router to the other PC [03:39] the other PC does not have wireless [03:39] risingphoenix, Ubuntu does not ( can't ) modify the BIOS [03:39] justin__: http://whatismyipaddress.com/staticpages/index.php/how-do-I-change-my-ip-address [03:39] It's hot as hell right now ... [03:39] risingphoenix, go into bios and chane the boot order to boot from cd first then just have the cd in the drive and things should start rollin [03:39] max :) we can only hope [03:40] SanitariuM: use wifi, and a nic and share out the connection? [03:40] justin__:http://www.tech-faq.com/change-mac-address.shtml [03:40] That's what I'm trying to do nakedgoat, it's not working [03:40] I'm not sure how to access the bios [03:40] delete didn't work [03:40] santi: buy yer own internet? [03:40] f12 appears to be the closest thing [03:40] justin__:hello [03:40] Windows XP, for example... if you're on wifi... and plug another computer into the ethernet jack, it shares the wifi with the other PC [03:40] risingphoenix, when itsdetecting your ide drives on boot usually you press F2 or del [03:41] how do i id a modem on my system [03:41] I think I'll just skip it [03:41] I'm trying to do the same thing with ubuntu now.. and please don't tell me to buy my own internet, i don't need sarcasm [03:41] Thanks anyways [03:41] DIL, i think you'd use lspci or lsusb at command line [03:41] its a madhouse [03:41] ibleed: ty [03:41] Anyone? The amd64 ISO will work with my Intel 64bit ? [03:42] justin__: r you there [03:42] yep max_ it will [03:42] thx [03:42] ibleed, they should just call it x64 then [03:42] max_, you might want to run 32 bit though instead of 64 if you want to avoid problems with java and flash [03:42] ibleed, I'm hoping to upgrade to 8gb 800mhz soon [03:42] max808, its called x86 [03:42] ibleed, I do lots of design work [03:43] Is there a way to reset my built in keyboard on my laptop? something keeps getting changed making it unusable [03:43] ibleed, there are no 'problems' with flash and java on 64 bit version -- at least not on any of mine [03:43] max_, ahh ok max. i wouldn't do that btw unless you had to have the memory. 4gb is quite a bit though if your running a server might make more sense [03:43] max_, yes, but why? i had and had issues cause everything els has to be 64,, not worth it for having 4g ram, which is plenty [03:43] How do you share a wifi internet connection (ath0) over an ethernet connection with another computer (eth0) ? [03:43] oh, thats good to know Bodsda. i've been told for a long time to avoid 64 bit for java and flash purposes [03:43] can anyone tell me why my transfer speeds are only 4 MB/sec on a gigabit router with a wired connection? [03:44] so it is fair to say a winmodem will not work on linux, is there such a thing as a linmodem [03:44] ibleed, nope, mines been perfect since gutsy [03:44] SanitariuM, firestarter [03:44] SeaPhor, 4GB ram not plenty, I'm using Autodesk Maya 2008 and Adobe CS3 Master Suite (2D graphics and animation) [03:44] jordan : firestarter is telling me eth0 is not ready [03:44] * burner_ wonders who uses an old school modem these days [03:44] sportman1280 I can only assume it is an unsupported network card using ndiswrapper or a low quality driver [03:44] * Bodsda would think people who are skint [03:44] burner : people who live in the boondocks (country) [03:45] my buddy has to use dialup... and gets a whole 2.0kbps [03:45] DIL, i think some winmodems will work. its been forever since i've used one though google ought to be good for that [03:45] SeaPhor, With 3GB, I'm still using about 1.5GB of SWAP [03:45] ouch, i wish we could fix that and get everyone broadband [03:45] Jack_Sparrow it is a restricted driver. i did not have to use ndiswrapper [03:45] Anyone, so i386 supports 4GB or 3.2GB ? [03:45] burner_, i have an 8mb broadband connection and usually see no more then 100kb [03:46] burner_: SanitariuM i am in one of the largest metro areas in the country so go fys what is wrong with learning something fi. [03:46] Bodsda, Install a firewall front-end such as firestarter [03:46] max_, you realise theres no program that uses more then 3 gi memory yeah? [03:46] is there no more XMMS player for the new version of ubuntu? [03:46] sportman1280 which gigabit card [03:46] max_, how would that help? [03:46] Bodsda, I run multiple programs at once. [03:46] nj786: audacious > xmms. it's basically xmms using gtk2 [03:46] max_, so, only vista could possibly use that much ram ;~) [03:47] Firestarter is telling me eth0 is not ready when attempting to share my wifi connection (ath0) with another computer via ethernet (eth0)... any ideas? [03:47] f [03:47] Bodsda, I use Maya for Linux, and run VirtualBox, Windows XP with about 3 Adobe programs running at a time [03:47] Jack_Sparrow: well the card itself isnt gigabit. so i dont expect those speeds. however 4MB is very slow. it seems. Its a built in one to my laptop, how can i look up the info that you want? [03:47] max_, ok, but why did you tellme to install firestarter? [03:47] max_, i use autodesk, MasterCam, CadCam, and running office stuff with 2g and 2g swap, but if you having issues all i am saying is be prepared to have issues as Bodsda said [03:47] Bodsda, wrong person =] [03:48] max_, o,kk,.lol [03:48] is it ever recommended to use firestarter if your always connecting through a nat router ? [03:48] sportman1280 all you can do is search for your laptop specs [03:48] wait [03:48] its an intel card [03:48] jack_sparrow: remember that from windows days hah [03:49] Is there a way to reset my built in keyboard on my laptop? something keeps getting changed making it unusable [03:49] Bodsda, Oh, you, if you only get 100kb and you have 8mb connection, then probably ports are being filtered. iptables filters all ports by default. Running firestarter tells you if some port is trying to be accessed and being denied. [03:49] max_, ok,so what i load firestarter then start a download and see whats doing stuff? [03:50] how can I forward traffic on certain port ranges to a specific interface? [03:50] using iptables. [03:50] Bodsda, Oh, this is http download? You only get 100kb max? [03:50] , you still there? [03:50] KB i should say* [03:50] ppl that use kubuntu can ask questions here to right? is there anything we cant talk aboiut? [03:50] why are some of my installed packages now missing from the /var/cache/apt/archives dir? and how can i get then back without having to manually work out all those dependencies? [03:51] max_, yep [03:51] anyone have any idea how to get sawfish running in hardy? [03:51] max_, well,. it varies sometimes 10kb-100kb rarely see 400kb [03:51] how can get 5.1 sound we use ubuntu Hardy ans i have already flush Pulse-fuck [03:51] i know why, because thay are all moved to apt cachers dir :-) [03:51] burner_: is this the best music player on ubuntu? [03:52] ibleed, SeaPhor I'm trying to get Virtualbox to use 5GB of physical RAM, leaving my linux to have 3GB. This is only possible with x64 Ubuntu, and XP-64. Correct? [03:52] belorix112, I mean [03:52] nj786: that's debateable, but it is a lot like xmms [03:52] Monica_28 Please watch the language.. [03:52] max_, correct [03:52] nj786 what about amarok [03:52] i have 2 pc`s (pc #1 = windows xp gaming rig) (pc#2 = linux box that passes sound from the windows machine to the home theatre optical in)...linux box has an nf2 mb with soundstorm chip i think its alc650 optical out [03:52] Bodsda, Rarely do http servers ever give more than 150KB/s in a single connection. [03:52] so the windows pc stereo out goes to the linux box line in [03:52] join /c [03:52] !clone | koshari [03:52] koshari: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [03:52] and again from linux box optical out to the home theatre optical in [03:53] can someone help me do it [03:53] jack Sparow get lost lol [03:53] max_, all that i've read on the ubuntu forums say you need 64 bit ubuntu to access more than 4GB though there was a non ubuntu forum thread that said something different you might want to google for that one [03:53] the sound storm alc650 chip does real time DDL decoding [03:53] max_, yeah, but my internet connection speed (time to load a page) is stupidly slow for an 8mb connection,.,. and mymachine lags (mouse jumpy) whenever i use the internet [03:53] Bodsda, If you were using a different method of downloading, you could use multiple connections. [03:53] so anything i pass to it gets decoded to 5.1 [03:53] wow u banned a chick ? [03:53] ;P [03:53] its nice in windows i used but i installed linux and now i dont know how to enable it [03:53] can someone help me [03:54] max_, You can use > 4 GIG of RAM with the 32 bit server kernel [03:54] Bodsda, you use a gateway? besides router? [03:54] you really shouldnt tell ops to get lost [03:54] ;~) [03:54] el1te: i'm no expert on sound, but it would seem to me using spdif after choking it through the regular line out is sort of pointless [03:54] yeah I saw that one comming [03:54] Jordan_U, I can use more than 4gb ram with 32bit kernel? [03:54] max_, no, i dont think so (whats a gateway?) [03:54] jdwilm nah man its great [03:54] i used it in windows fine ....dont know if i can do it with linux [03:54] is my wireless card not being able to detect any networks a driver problem or some other kind of problem? [03:55] max_, With the -server kernel instead of -generic, yes [03:55] YixilTesiphon, could be either [03:55] Bodsda, well, if all pages loads slow with your 8mbs connnection, then that means the web is coming from somewhere else than straight from your DSL/Cable modem [03:55] basically the nf2 mb has 2 sound chips...1 is the alc650 ac97 and the other is the soundstorm [03:55] Jordan_U, AH! I'm using generic. [03:55] el1te: then why not just connect it to the stereo with the regular line out -- you're not going to get any boost in quality passing it through another machine and outputting via spdir [03:55] max_, wifi dongle --> bt home hub --> outside world [03:55] alc650 line in to the soundstorm optical out [03:55] spdif* [03:55] max_, all i am saying is that the 64 os has some issues, i used it for a long while but in your case you may have a more +s than -s , just be prepared for the -s :-) [03:55] Bodsda, bt home hub? Tell me that doesn't mean Blue Tooth [03:55] the nf2 sound storm does real time DDL [03:55] SeaPhor, what issues are these? [03:56] dolby digial live decoding [03:56] max_, no its wifi [03:56] does anyone know a proper channel i can ask a question reguarding web development and how to put lots of quotes in a database so they can be accesible online? [03:56] my nf4 (windows machine) dont have ddl [03:56] or if anyone knows and will PM me? [03:56] so i have to use analog out [03:56] Bodsda, Your WIFI NIC is USB ?? [03:56] compy: try ##linux [03:56] max_, whats a wifi 'nic' ? [03:56] Bodsda, Network Interface Card [03:56] you think you can help me [03:57] max_, err,. its a usb dongle [03:57] im lost in ubuntu/kubuntu [03:57] k thanks [03:57] Bodsda, Ew, try a PCI at least, or plug in straight ethernet for real speed. [03:57] Bodsda: it could be your wireless connection slowing you down. It could be that the website you're downloading from can't give you more bandwidth [03:57] * burner_ doesn't boo USB wifi adapters and uses one... it's fine :P [03:57] can someone help me with this sound problem [03:58] burner_, max_, if i had the money i would buy a wifi pci card but till then its dongle for me [03:58] that said, cable is a whole lot faster [03:58] i dont even know where the sound manager is [03:58] Bodsda, Reason why your dongle may have been better in Windows, is that the drivers were programmed specificially for windoz [03:58] burner_, not an option -- cable doesnt reach router [03:58] Bodsda: i don't think you'll get any better performance through pci [03:58] burner_, you probably have a linux supported adapter [03:58] * burner_ uses ndiswrapper with a dlink wifi adapter [03:58] it's not ideal, but it works [03:58] * max_ barfs [03:58] * burner_ ends the digression and gets back to teh point [03:59] come on guys whos the guru here that knows all [03:59] * max_ learns some C# so he can program his own drivers [03:59] max_, burner_ i use dongle with ndiswrapper in an attempt to speed things up nojoy though [03:59] Bodsda, not much i couldnt eventually work out, but as you said some with video (flash), had to make sure that any software i wanted to install supported 64, been like 6 months since i made the switch so may not even be relevant as far as my issues, but everyone as i understand has had their own based on what their interests are :-) [03:59] el1te, #linux [03:59] Bodsda: maybe if you test your speed from another site, it'll be faster? try the ubuntu torrents? I get 1 MB/s for torrents... that == 8 mbps [03:59] what are some other programs for detecting rootkits? like chkrootkits and rkhunter [03:59] el1te, ubotu ;) [03:59] what are some other programs for detecting rootkits? like chkrootkits and rkhunter [03:59] ok [03:59] leet [03:59] sup [04:00] SeaPhor, i have been using ubuntu since gutsy (always 64) and never had a prob once the flash fx came out [04:00] thanks Jack_Sparrow but that only provides a portable list , i think i need to copy all my debs into a dir on a portable and run scanpackages to generate a packages.gz file to use as a repo on the non connected machine [04:00] Pimps Please be patient and hold off on the repeats [04:00] burner_, yeah I get great speeds through torrent, never through http protocol [04:00] !aptoncd [04:00] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [04:00] burner_, speed tests indicate its slowwww!!! [04:00] hey guys, I have a question [04:00] Pimps: those are it unless you code a new one afaik anyways [04:00] nine inches, josh__ [04:00] sorry I press up and enter by acceident [04:00] haha not that question ICM [04:00] koshari if they are not in archives then you may have run clean and purged them.. [04:00] Bodsda: bummer... I like my 8 mbps, but I wish Comcast wouldn't block torrent traffic like it does [04:00] josh__, 11.5 inches [04:01] oh snap :) [04:01] im black [04:01] nah, I just upgraded from vista to ubuntu, and I'm trying to move all my stuff over (had it stored on a "server") [04:01] can you use apt on cd to make a repo pn a removable drive? [04:01] max_ That is unnecessary in the channel.. It honestly does not matter [04:01] and I've got everything so far, but when I went to replace the bookmarks with the ones I already had saved, it won't let me .... [04:01] burner_, i wish i had an ethernet into the internet (THE internet) you know, the single machine that serves the internet,. i want it in my bedroom [04:01] says I don't have permissions, even when I sign in as root [04:02] how do i know if i have the 32 or 64 bit version installed,my friend installed through wubi. [04:02] how can I replace them so I have my bookmarks? [04:02] Jack_Sparrow, ok cap'n , it was just subject matter [04:02] Bodsda, how long have you been using linux, ? i am a n00b to all linux, but am soaking in all i can [04:02] SeaPhor, got a working ubuntu in january [04:02] josh__, easiest way is to make a user account with the same name and password as the server account. [04:03] love it @ upgraded from vista to ubuntu [04:03] HUGE upgrade [04:03] it's a monster [04:03] i think win98 is an upgrade from vista ;p [04:03] why not just drop your files onto an external? [04:03] josh__, why not just drop your files onto an external? [04:03] no no, when I try to put them in \etc\mozilla\profile [04:04] http://www.metacafe.com/watch/857874/vista_true_info/ [04:04] I've got my bookmarks on my laptop (running ubuntu) [04:04] josh__, /home/USERNAME/.mozilla/profile [04:04] right [04:04] Bodsda, cool, so you havent ever dealt with any other distro and have had no issues, man that is great, i could use your help alot [04:04] but it says I don't have permissions [04:04] even when I sign in as root [04:04] use myfoxmarks ;P [04:04] SeaPhor, i'd be happy to help -- if you want to join me in #helpseaphor [04:05] josh__, so you cant read files from the server which you're transferring files from? [04:05] does anyone here know the virtual midi keyboard? [04:05] josh__, you cant read any files from there? how are you accessing these files? [04:05] no, I've got them on the laptop, and I can read them fine [04:05] tmapj, yeah its rocks out hard core [04:05] but I want to be able to use them from firefox [04:05] anyone know if the bug for the nvidia 8xxx cards will ever get fixed? [04:05] max how do you get it to work? [04:05] tmapj sorry i dont know [04:05] max_ how do you get it to work? [04:05] so I need to replace the default "bookmarks.html" with the ones i already have saved [04:06] and when I go to do that, it says I don't have permissions [04:06] max how did you use yours? [04:06] even when I'm signed in as root [04:06] tmapj i dont have one, you asked if i knew of it. my friends midi keyboard kicks arse [04:06] josh__ gksudo nautilus does not work? [04:06] ok [04:06] im talking about the VIRTUAL midi keyboard [04:06] oh dear.... ambient temperature 97F, and its 8PM [04:07] gksudo what now? [04:07] what's nautilus [04:07] nautilus is the file browser [04:07] for gnome [04:07] ohhhh [04:07] I dunno, hang on [04:07] lol [04:07] i have a weird situation where, if I download and install the nvidia supplied drivers, X works.. but then when I reboot, it breaks the setup. How do I get ubuntu to stop reverting to the broke-ass config? [04:07] !enter > josh__ please read pm from ubottu [04:07] Hey, is anybody here familiar with the workings of a software raid and dual booting? I need some help. [04:07] !ask | Eric_Biggs [04:07] Eric_Biggs: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:08] hmm interesting that this is in the package directory in debian 4 "pdfcrack - PDF files password cracker" [04:08] i can't think of the name of the photo showing program i had maybe you type display to show the photos? [04:09] alexj0nes, edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the 'nvidia' driver to 'nv' you'll see it in the sections [04:09] i can't think of the name of the photo showing program i had maybe you type display to show the photos? [04:09] max: ok === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:09] alexj0nes, boot into recovery mode, do 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' to edit [04:09] chalcedony, I like gwenview [04:09] will it not work if I just change it right now without recovery mode? [04:09] max_, reboot pik recovery mode choose fix x (is a cool way to fix x related probs) just fyi [04:09] Ok, here's the setup - Vista is installed on a software RAID0 array. To avoid RAID issues I just installed 8.04 on a third drive. Now I'm having issues with where to put GRUB for it all to work. [04:10] ok, file edited. I shall test it with a rebootx0r. thanks to the max_, if it works. [04:11] how do i get faster wireless? [04:11] ok great [04:11] Bodsda, FIX X ? What's that, that new? [04:11] Eric_Biggs, on your primary boot device (first in list in bios) [04:11] mookinator: kill everyone else on the network [04:11] image magick .. but i want to find out what the crest on this guy's shirt says.. the picture isn't opening big [04:11] they're already dead [04:11] max_ [04:11] ty [04:11] max_, yeah devs decided to ditch dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and gaves us a new toy to play with [04:11] like im only gettin 2mbps, on my old comp i was gettin 54 [04:11] that worked, I got the bookmarks replaced, but that still didn't work, when I open firefox my bookmarks aren't there [04:12] Bodsda, Wow, less brain cycles = good ? [04:12] Bodsda, that would be the RAID array which Ubuntu sees as two separate drives. The problem is that Ubuntu does not detect a Windows installation at all so its not added to the bootloader. [04:12] In Ubuntu land, yes. [04:12] josh__ at least we are not chasing a permission problem around [04:12] very true, thanks for that [04:12] any other ideas? [04:12] how can i get faster LAN speeds? is there something that i install? or what? [04:12] talk to your ISP mookinator :P [04:13] Eric_Biggs, you would need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add it manuallythen im afraid [04:13] josh__, putting the bookmarks.html file in the right place? Mine are located in /home/USER/.mozilla/firefox/PROFILE!@#3123.default [04:13] mookinator1313, get a faster computer and cable? [04:13] josh__, You can also just Import the bookmarks.html file [04:13] install gigabit lan hubs and cards [04:13] hmmmm, lemme check then [04:13] i cant hard wire [04:14] mookinator1313: you can speed up access to websites by putting it in your host file [04:14] wait huh? how do you import them? [04:14] max, that didn't work -- made it worse, actually. [04:14] Bodsda, Is it possible to edit a Vista bootloader to add Ubuntu there? That seems like it would be an easier option as I'm sure GRUB won't see the drives as RAID either. [04:14] josh__ put your bookmarks in /home/josh and point firefox bookmark tool to it in there [04:14] josh__, In firefox, Do Bookmarks->Organize->File->Import [04:14] AlexJ0nes, What did we do ? [04:14] Eric_Biggs, err,. dunno you'd have to ask in ##windows [04:14] max_: modified 'nvidia' to 'nv' in xorg.conf. [04:14] AlexJ0nes, You changed nvidia driver to nv? [04:14] Hello! i have installed MySQL in 7.10. But can't connect it with php. "cat /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini | grep mysql.so" returned nothing. Can someone help me? [04:14] alex jones [04:14] Dinner time// bbl [04:15] max_: I believe the system is picking up the wrong driver on boot ... the install from nvidia's script clearly works, it just isn't present when i reboot for some reason. [04:15] hahaha, that worked, thanks max .... I feel stupid now, but at least I got my bookmarks [04:15] cyberbuf1: is php5-mysql installed? [04:15] alexj0nes ok then change it back to nvidia ... make sure you edited the 'driver' section [04:15] Bodsda, Or I may be able to mess with setting up dmraid while still in the LiveCD (you can do that, correct?) [04:15] sec [04:15] Starnestommy: yes [04:15] alexj0nes you have nv and nvidia drivers installed... this is what i know, and you can switch between the two [04:15] Eric_Biggs, yep i believe so -- raid is not my forte thouh [04:16] cyberbuf1: you might need to restart apache [04:16] installing the wireless card's driver will speed it up right? [04:16] max: how can i remove the nv drivers [04:16] Starnestommy: it never works. Even after restarting the machine. [04:16] Bodsda, Pfft...That's the entire reason I did this the way I have... [04:16] has anyone tried to modified init-functions and change the colors of the boot text under hardy? [04:17] ha ha ha aha ha aha ha [04:17] cyberbuf1: does /etc/php5/conf.d/mysql.ini exist? [04:17] AlexJ0nes, Dunno, they're like built in. You can just use the nvidia drivers, which are non-proprietary by just changing 'nv' to 'nvidia' in your xorg.conf [04:17] Eric_Biggs, it should be easy enough to add the bootable partition to grub -- just dont ask me how ask the channel ;~) [04:17] Starnestommy: yes it does. [04:17] Eric_Biggs: try searching the forums for adding vista to grub -- should work the same with or without raid [04:17] I've tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=347303 [04:17] how do you resume from a ctrl+z on the command line? [04:18] a driver for a wireless card will make it faster, right? [04:18] matt444: fg [04:18] max: i just want this thing to work when i reboot, so I don't have to run the install script everytime I boot up for the nvidia drivers to work. [04:18] mookinator1313: it probably should [04:18] jdwilm, Its software raid though, so a driver is involved. [04:18] but actually its not working properly... some hints? [04:18] best voip program? [04:18] mookinator1313, maybe/maybe not [04:18] ok, good [04:18] i think it's picking up the wrong kernel model [04:18] it wolnt hurt it aill it? [04:18] er, module [04:18] pen: ekiga? [04:18] Eric_Biggs: does gparted see them as two different drives? [04:18] gerardoj, with msn? [04:18] gerardoj, talk with msn? [04:18] Starnestommy: any help available? [04:19] jdwilm, the partition manager in 8.04 does, yes (is that still GParted?) [04:19] cyberbuf1: what happens when you try to run a php script that connects to a mysql database? [04:19] Eric_Biggs: yes it's still gparted; do you have vista's bootloader installed already? [04:20] pen: sorry Ekiga is not compatible with Skype or MSN I didnt cathcup that [04:20] was wondering if someone could help me, was trying to set up an eggdrop and I'm getting a "TCL cannot be found on this system" error [04:20] What is the name for the side application which displays system info? [04:20] Furkle: is tcl8.4-dev installed? [04:20] jdwilm, Yes, I'm not 100% sure that it hasn't been messed up by me trying to put GRUB at different spots though. [04:20] gerardoj, ok [04:20] no clue just did sudo apt-get install TCL [04:20] best voip program (with msn)? [04:20] Furkle: you need to run sudo apt-get install tcl8.4 tcl8.4-dev [04:20] hey, I'm just curious, how long does it take for a software update to be sent out to the repos on average? [04:20] I'll try that though [04:21] everytime my system loads, it loads the friendly-recovery menu, but this causes my system to hang, so certain services are not starting up (dhcp, etc). How can I turn this off. === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [04:21] Condoulo, 6 months :) [04:21] Eric_Biggs: assuming your BCD isn't messed up, you may be able to figure something out from this thread - i believe the OP simply added his other boot loader to grub [04:21] er [04:21] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=752402 [04:21] Bush is gay!

[04:24] * AlexJ0nes laughs [04:24] Eric_Biggs, yes it does -- good ha ;~) [04:24] ******* [04:24] rycole: you would have to figure out a clever way to limit the size on users directories though, and then deny them their permission once they overran their quota [04:25] Eric_Biggs, 'removing' GRUB means replacing it with something else [04:25] Eric_Biggs : You want to remove grub and go back to vista? [04:25] I have a problem runing Conky, when it runs my desktop becomes black with Conky on it. [04:25] Jordan_U, sudo apt-get remove grub wont work then? [04:25] morphius, well, the quotas system by default just notifies me, and the user, when they go over their limit... and it automatically removes the files after x amount of time [04:25] nakedgoat, restore the vista bootloader. I've made a mess with my raid... [04:25] Bodsda, No, that will not remove GRUB from the MBR [04:25] i need help with my wireless card ... it wont work at all... i have the dynex dx-ebdtc [04:25] Eric_Biggs, use vista cd boot to recovery and type fixmbr sorted [04:26] i tried different wifi apps like wicd, wireshark.. nothing.. and i tried ndis and nothign there [04:26] Eric_Biggs : boot with yer vista cd, go to repiar, and bootrec.exe fixmbr from cmd prompt [04:26] Jordan_U, oh kk [04:26] Anyone have experience with Conky? [04:26] the other issue -- how do I get sound to work all the time in firefox for sites like youtube? [04:26] http://www.linux.com/articles/25246 [04:26] the card wont come on.. the lights arnt flashing on the back of the card [04:26] can anyone help me [04:26] Eric_Biggs : act. I think it's bootrec /Fixmbr [04:26] Anyone know something like SuperKaramba for gnome, thats not gDesklets? [04:26] nakedgoat, Bodsda , you guys know whether it'll be seeing the fakeRAID since thats in command line? [04:27] AlexJ0nes, You can try installing libflashsupport but that may cause crashes instead :( [04:27] Eric_Biggs, no idea [04:27] can anyone help me with wireless card issues [04:27] AlexJOnes I have good luck with mplayer plugin [04:27] how effective is "john" the active password cracking tool? [04:27] fdsss, reasonably assumingthe password is loical [04:27] Eric_Biggs : it will act. be on a ram drive, but you'll see your NTFS partiton that vista lives on [04:27] logical* [04:27] my bad ;P [04:28] argh, it used to work [04:28] sometimes it actually works in firefox [04:28] logical meaning that it is from the dictionary right [04:28] othertimes it doesn't.. leads me to believe they are not sharing the sound resources correctly [04:28] nakedgoat, can you clarify that? [04:28] rebooting to test my setup brb [04:28] d4t I can try to help with wireless [04:29] fdsss, no,logical meaning it is related to something like your usernameand has a combination of letters numbers and punctuation -- its a bruteforce attacker -- theoreticcaly it could crack anyhting given enoug time [04:29] this is a compiz question: id like to disable the 'window decoration' (because i hate the dropshadow) but when i do so none of my windows have a header or any sort of frame to them ... and i cant find a way to just turn that part on - any ideas ? [04:29] Eric_Biggs : if u wanna go back to vista, do what I said. :P, repair, cmd prompt x:>bootrec /fixmbr exit then reboot [04:29] nakedgoat, Vista is on a software (BIOS level) RAID0 array. Without a driver for that (which the Vista installer has natively) it would see two separate 500GB drives like Ubuntu does [04:29] jedimind, best ask in #compiz-fusion [04:29] cool thx [04:29] Mk...I'll work on it...let you know how things go. [04:29] especially if you have a fast computer [04:30] good luck! [04:30] i havent used since 5.10 this is nice [04:30] If all else fails I know I can back everything up with Fedora. [04:31] fedora vista and ubuntu -- strange mix [04:31] Not installed. But it does recognize the RAID natively. [04:31] Anyone have experience with Conky? [04:32] !ask | AimLXJ [04:32] AimLXJ: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:33] bodhi_zazen: I havce asked and no one ever answered, this is liek the thrid time coming by :/ [04:33] !patience | AimLXJ [04:33] AimLXJ: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [04:33] AimLXJ, what ?

[04:34] I am no conky fan [04:34] bodhi_zazen, mistoke me for you -- i feel insulted (lol) [04:34] AimLXJ : you edit your conky.conf? sounds like it's setting your bkgrd black [04:34] lol Bodsda [04:35] i'm struggling to figure out these articles on mounting an nfs, i want to access a folder on my desktop, from my laptop on the same network [04:35] Byan: http://beshenov.ru/debaday/img/conky.jpg [04:35] bodhi_zazen, ;~) well i suppose if you had to pick a name so much like mine it was gonna happen sooner or later [04:36] AimLXJ: that is a cool monitor what is it called [04:36] Hey guys, I've tried installing the toolchain three different times on my desktop. For some reason, I can get it to compile and install with no errors. When I got to compile an application the compiler looks at the wrong directory [04:36] conky ;P [04:36] does anyone know how I can get CMOS to recognize my USB drive (so I can boot to GRUB)? [04:37] crashes alot with compiz [04:37] I am using lappymonitor it's pretty cool [04:37] fdsss: It's called Conky [04:37] it says ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/local/lib/gcc/arm-apple-darwin/4.0.1/../../../../arm-apple-darwin-sys-include" [04:38] AimLXJ : try /j #conky [04:38] but, then gcc searches and finds it in two spots and what I believe causing a bunch of errors [04:38] nakedgoat: /j #conky in terminal? If so are you sure I put the "/"?

[05:02] i have an flv on my desktop pc and i am trying to stream it over nfs however the audio does not work on my laptop [05:02] i believe im using smb actually* [05:03] hieu : ./filename [05:03] I just finished updating to Hardy, now my resolution is all screwed up. How do I go about fixing it? [05:04] hieu : might wanna chmod a+x filename to make it executable | chmond a+x filename.bin [05:04] err chmod (my b) [05:04] i think im good with the ./filename thanks [05:04] I'm trying to get an nfs server working, but I need it to work with a firewall. I've been trying to use ufw but it wont allow clients to connect, Does anyone know what I can do to get ufw to work with an nfs server? [05:04] it say permission denied.. what i do? [05:04] Flannel, you still around? [05:05] hieu : then you do a chmod a+x filename.bin [05:05] ok [05:06] it works thanks [05:06] always do that when i get permission denied? [05:06] hieu : well permission denied, is a permission issue, chmod changes permissions ;)P [05:06] ok [05:06] hieu : man chmod [05:06] i better copy that command down, thanks [05:08] hieu: wikipedia is win for learning command line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unix_programs [05:08] do you know how i can view streaming .rm files from the net? [05:08] hieu: vlc might be able to [05:08] i tried installing vlc from synaptic package manager, and it say missing something [05:08] hieu: also, realplayer has a linux version, it's just kinda unstable [05:09] so the livecd won't boot on my friend's computer... it starts loading, the progress bar gets 15% and it dies. it kicks me back to a command line (initfas) or something to that effect and it doesn't even look like bash. i tried using wubi, same thing. wouldn't boot and kicks me back to archaic command line. what's goin on? [05:09] my system says I'm using Proprietary Drivers "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver" how can i fix this??? [05:09] it say this: vlc: [05:09] Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>=1.2.5) but it is not installable [05:10] arrrghhh: this happens alot when it has issues with the ide/sata controller (at least from what i've seen). This is it dropping to an initramfs (busybox i think) shell. There is a command usuallyto get through it, hold on [05:10] arrrghhh : your friend using raid? [05:10] donde estoy [05:10] que es esto [05:10] squee, sounds right [05:10] nakedgoat, no raid [05:10] !sp | chusmiza [05:10] Factoid sp not found [05:10] besides, why would the livecd be doing anything with the hdd's? shouldn't it be completely independent of that? [05:11] squee, definitely said busybox [05:13] i don't understand why a hard drive incompatibility should arise from a livecd environment... [05:13] arrrghhh: you could try "modprobe ide-generic && modprobe ide-disk", and it might continue, but this is kinda a specific issue, and might not be what is causing you problems [05:13] arrrghhh-> if you are on livecd try this , fdisk -l or dmesg and you'll see that even a livecd will attempt to detect what hd it sees on the system [05:13] arrrghhh: the other thing to check would be dmesg, and see if there are any errors there [05:13] arrrghhh : what ver? 7.10 or 8.04? [05:13] how do i get a notification in pidgin messenger when someone signs in? like the real msn [05:14] nakedgoat, 8.04. tried the ubuntu and kubuntu livecd's that work on other computers [05:14] ringer, install pidguin guifications [05:14] does the busybox prompt have dmesg?

[05:14] arrrghhh : try the alt. cd [05:15] nakedgoat, yea i'll have to partition his drive before hand. i don't want it messing up his previous (yet screwed) windows install. [05:15] could someone here help me install a graphics card on my laptop for ubuntu 8.04?

[05:30] cypha, type the name of the person you are talking to, or at least the first few letters then tab to have them added to your conversation [05:30] cypha: or whats up? [05:31] to autocomplete? [05:31] Hey, I've got a machine here I've just installed Xubuntu 8.04 on. It's a Celeron 1.7Ghz with 256MB RAM and it's hammering the hard-drive every time I try and do something. Is this a configuration problem or hardware? [05:31] libpq4 is required and its telling me libpq is a virtual package. I've tried the libpq ( >= 4) thing [05:31] still the same thing [05:31] cypha, yes [05:31] when enter :sudo apt- get install apache2 it said : sudo: apt-: command not found what's wrong? [05:31] mk, i tried gedit /etc/fstab ....it didn't work [05:31] cypha: sudo? [05:31] AzMoo, if it's that fresh of an install it's probably just indexing [05:31] oh, i'm sorry [05:31] just out of curiosity, why did i have to sudo it [05:32] squee: not sure what I'm doing wrong [05:32] yao, use apt-get ... no spaces [05:32] cypha: cat /etc/fstab will show u the contents [05:32] !tab | cypha [05:32] cuz i can open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf without sudo [05:32] cypha: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [05:32] but i just can't edit it [05:32] scunizi: Wouldn't that happen in one big bunch though? This only happens when I open something. [05:32] cypha: need to be root to edit [05:32] scunizi: By indexing you mean updatedb, right? [05:32] what does cat mean? [05:32] i've seen that before [05:32] i've set up a virtual hosts mail server with postfix following a guide on howtoforge but i am still recieving mail only for the default user in /var/mail as opposed to /home/vmail, whats going on? [05:32] but it wasn't in the faq [05:32] cypha: so i guess u really dont need to sudo, i just thought it u wanted to change it... thats all [05:32] mk,..i do want to change it, so i'd like to sudo [05:32] AzMoo, no .. tracker.. updatedb belongs to "locate".. tracker is the new one. [05:33] cypha: man cat ;P [05:33] but just for shits and giggles, i didn't sudo [05:33] ubergoober: you are requiring a package that apparently has been deprecated [05:33] and it wouldn't open [05:33] it gave me that error [05:33] or response [05:33] scunizi: ah hah. I must read about how it works. [05:33] !enter | cypha [05:33] cypha: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:33] cypha: tab really autocompletes u know... and ur still using the enter key as punctuation [05:33] !enter | scunizi [05:33] scunizi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:34] cypha: they mean, don't hit enter after each line of text, and try sudo gedit /ect/fstab ;P [05:34] fwaokda_: The description which you have given is too general. "I am new to Ubuntu" is no excuse not to look up the terms which I have mentioned, using Google and to try to understand them. Ask in this channel if you have found a term and do not understand a technical term in relation to your Ubuntu computer. [05:34] i know [05:34] * scunizi thinks it's a full moon..

[05:37] I thought (>= version ) would work but I still get a virtual package and it wont install [05:37] kde 4.04 [05:37] ur using kde? [05:37] ubergoober: you could try to just force it to use the new one, if you REALLY need it working fast you could go to the old repositories and force that package to install [05:37] is that kubuntu? [05:37] ubuntu with kde? [05:37] cypha: yes. [05:37] aah [05:37] i will use what ever i need to to get sound working with it...if i need to use my mom i will :) [05:38] lol [05:38] hello i cannot get the print screen function to work anymore since i got hardy, and ideas [05:38] el1te: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219631 [05:38] ielite, pm me, i'll tell u where to put ur penis [05:38] lol [05:38] nice url...reading it now [05:38] thanks [05:38] !language | cypha [05:38] cypha: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[05:40] squee: still looking but yeah I've tried that and it works but... [05:40] lartza, that happened to me as well, try restarting [05:40] AzMoo: It is probably due to a housekeeping process. Please use the command 'top' to find out what process it is. Then you may decide if a remedy is approriate or you need to wait until it is over. [05:40] lartza_: flv is poorly supported in linux. if that is the only filetype you have issues with, i would blame that. [05:40] but if that doesn't work, then i'm sorry, dunno [05:40] ubergoober: you could rebuild the package to use the new library [05:40] anyone here using conky here? [05:40] senthil: on my other laptop [05:40] the package I built will work with libpq5 and need it to install no matter what version ubuntu your using provided its ubuntu 6 and up [05:40] ty scunizi but i think elvis has left the living [05:40] hello [05:40] sent: not anymore [05:40] senthil I have recently installed conky [05:41] Is anyone else having trouble connecting with http://packages.ubuntu.com?

[05:41] but yes I've pointed to the dapper repositories and it does work that way. I just cant require a user to install it that way. kinda lame I would think [05:41] if this indicative of a hdd failure? [05:41] I just use it for browsing... [05:41] scunizi, lol :-)) [05:41] Ok thanks [05:41] yao no you can use sympatic [05:41] ubergoober: I've never dealt with that, check the wiki, they might have some way to do that. I would build seperate packages for each release personally [05:42] hurray 40 pcs with ltsp !! :) [05:42] what path does openareana typically install to? [05:42] works well [05:42] scunizi..u've definitely had ubuntu for a while [05:42] or linux at least [05:42] can i please request your help? [05:42] !ask [05:42] 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. :-) [05:42] Is there a way I can see exactly what's using my RAM? My system is using 186.4MB apparently (75.1%) but when I add up everything in the process list it doesn't come near that. I have already selected all processes. [05:42] scunizi, lol or "less" [05:42] lol [05:42] squee, i did, a few times [05:42] senthil have you looked at the variables html for conky on sourceforge? [05:42] AzMoo: top, or gnome-system-monitor [05:42] SeaPhor, that's what I was trying to get at.. lol [05:42] i didn't want to get annoying, so i asked someone that i thought was more certain of knowing [05:42] yes byron, no help [05:43] sorry,i just start to use it [05:43] azmoo, did u count the dependencies? [05:43] cypha: i must have missed it, one last time? :P [05:43] ubuntu [05:43] thanks squee [05:43] for speaking directly =) [05:43] np [05:43] how do i purge a package?

[05:44] and i think my pkg manager database is corrupted. http://pastebin.com/m1cb4b7a7 [05:44] it actually turned out to be more than i explected (this was from the synaptic update manager or whatever) .... these were the errors: http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/hardy/Release.gp [05:44] woops, sorry [05:44] hwdyki: try reinstalling it and removing it again? I'm not sure, i havent' dealt with corrupt dpkg much [05:45] http://www.pastebin.org/36898 [05:45] there you are, sorry [05:45] cypha: Did you run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update" [05:46] i did sudo apt-get update before it...adn i don't recall adding keyring, but i see the settings for it in my system menu [05:46] submenu Preferences [05:46] cypha: run that command in the terminal, I think that should help [05:47] one sec [05:48] says "done" squee [05:48] rg [05:49] Hi - I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras - and get an error trying to play DVD movie in Totem Movie Player - Any other ideas would be appreciated?

[05:50] the skype upgrade? [05:51] Bodsda, Hey, quick update - Got Vista back up and working, so I'm more or less at square one, which I'm okay with for the moment. Lol [05:51] squee: is there a way to install this using a terminal - like I did with ubuntu restricted? [05:51] cypha: it sounds like you tried to refresh the repositories and you didn't have the key for medibuntu installed. [05:51] sup [05:51] melissa1220 : i used this on my laptop worked fine, http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2008/04/medibuntu-for-hardy-heron.html [05:51] Eric_Biggs, cool,.,. what was the problem? grub not finding vista? there is a #grub channel but their usually quite silent [05:52] melissa1220: instructions at the link squee gave for adding the repo, then just sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [05:52] did i get medibuntu when i got dvd support [05:52] i added somethign to some file [05:52] melissa1220: if you're running 8.04 hardy heron: "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2" [05:52] through gedit [05:52] about medibuntu wiht a # or ## in front of it [05:52] u edited ur sources.list [05:52] yes [05:52] thanks naked [05:53] where should I login in root? [05:53] cypha: yep [05:53] squee: and everyone else thanks so much - will give a try - appreciate all your help :o) [05:53] Bodsda, Well, I just did the fixboot and fixmbr so right now only Vista will work. I'm going to try to figure out how I can link the Vista bootloader to GRUB and try that with GRUB installed on the disk with Ubuntu. [05:53] melissa1220: that will ask you to install a unauthenticated package or something (when it installs the key), say yes [05:53] melissa1220: you're welcome [05:53] naked, can i ask you some lala questions please? [05:53] yao you don't login as root [05:53] cypha: if i can answer I will, if not someone else will thats the point of just "asking" [05:53] scunizi, like a train wreck,,,, [05:54] wow, please stop saying that to me [05:54] lol [05:54] i ask stuff, and it doesn't get answered [05:54] Bodsda, I'm just assuming that the MBR would be split up on the two drives also, which is really making this a pain in the neck... [05:54] we happen to be speaking [05:54] and you happen to know about ubuntu/linux [05:54] yao why do you want to log in as root? [05:55] SeaPhor, the light at the end of the tunnel was suddenly discovered to be .... destructive [05:55] Eric_Biggs, try, installing grub on ubuntu disk,then see if you can use grub by selecting the boot device as the ubuntu drive if that works you should be able to link them [05:55] cypha: if i can answer yes. [05:55] i hope you wouldn't mind if i borrowed ur mind for a moment [05:55] anyway [05:55] anyone here play WoW and use a headset, plz pm me [05:55] o0Chris0o: I think that directinput isn't working through wine yet, I'm not 100% on that though [05:55] !sudo | yao [05:55] yao: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:56] well, i was wondering, what're the important files that are txt or something editable by txt that should matter to me? besides xorg.conf or sources.list or whatever you said........etc [05:56] scunizi, or at least a bit ,, intrusive... [05:56] where is alsa asound.conf locatred [05:56] desktop [05:56] well [05:56] home folder [05:56] stuff that i should care to edit [05:56] have to create it if there isn't one [05:56] SeaPhor, this is almost like comedy central.. [05:56] exactly...like asound.conf [05:56] that's for my soundcard [05:56] i'll def be checking that out later...cuz my sound doesn't work in skype [05:57] but no one was able to say why [05:57] Bodsda, I'm pretty sure I can switch between the two right now by changing the boot disk, which may be how I have to keep it, but in order to link them I need to know where/what exactly the Vista bootloader is. If its split between the two drives and GRUB doesn't see a software RAID I'm not going to be able to do it. [05:57] elite try locate asound.conf [05:57] i think it's by soundcard...but i don't understand the drivers on it...they say nvidia....but on windows i have an intel onboard or something (def not nvidia) [05:57] scunizi, well i think its about to get very interesting ,,, if you follow me,,, i have seen before,,, never ends good without help, just sayin :-)) [05:58] i dunno what hardy is listed by [05:58] I can't install some software [05:58] Eric_Biggs, boot into ubuntu and run sudo fdisk -l find the respective drives and note the /dev/?da? values for the partitions that are bootable -- that should be enouh to point grub and vista bootloader at [05:58] I have a question. If I want to use KDE instead of Gnome, do I just go to Synaptic Package Manager and install the package "kubuntu-desktop" and everything that goes with that? [05:58] !elaborate | yao [05:58] yao: 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) [05:58] yao which software [05:59] yel yes you ccan do that [05:59] squee: That fit the bill nicely - Did not even log out or do a reboot - Can now settle to watch my rented DVD - Thanks again - Have great evening or day ! [05:59] SeaPhor, you may be right.. starting to look like the linguistic skills are starting to fade into a morass of extra-curricular alteration. [05:59] Will I lose any of my saved files? [05:59] yel no [05:59] thank you [06:00] man scunizi? i spilled my guts and u didn't even offer a suggestion [06:00] Bodsda, it will show sda and sdb (the ones in RAID) separately though. If both are listed as bootable do I just put both? [06:00] I want to install apache [06:00] I have a question about the realvnc pkg do I have to have that on 1 pc and it will create the connection to the other pc's? [06:00] I need download? [06:00] after saying don't ask to ask [06:00] yao: sudo apt-get install apache2 [06:00] that's why i ask...i spend all that time explaining [06:00] yao go to sympatic and look for apache2 [06:00] Eric_Biggs, not sure im afraid, u'l have to ask the channel 9thanks for the update though ;~) [06:00] Byron1, Synaptic [06:00] ok [06:01] anyone want to help me with cdrecord? [06:01] cypha what is the question [06:01] I have problems with my dvd burner... I see a lot of device resets in the logs, and I have installed a new DVD burner and a new Cable... what could it be? [06:01] press pg up a few times please [06:01] Bodsda, At this point I may just play with Fedora for a bit. =P [06:01] if you don't mind bazhang [06:01] cypha: tyr ur up arrow a few times ;)P [06:01] Inx what help do you need? [06:01] otherwise, i'll pm to u [06:01] how do i get a list of packages which no other packages depend on? [06:02] cypha how about just a brief restatement in channel [06:02] Bodsda, Actually...I wonder if I could steal the dmraid data from fedora and throw it into Ubuntu. [06:02] nakedgoat, do you have a support question or just want to chit chat [06:02] k, for 1, i tried updating skype and i got some errors in synaptic [06:02] Eric_Biggs, err,. best ask the guru'sin the channel (ubuntu supports raid i believe) [06:03] bazhang : no I was just trying to help cypha, restate his question.

[06:03] Bodsda, yeah, you have to manually configure dmraid. I'm not even sure if that would allow grub to work right. I'll post something on the forums later and see if anyone else has done something similar. Thanks a lot. [06:03] yes [06:03] Eric_Biggs, ur welcome [06:04] hieu: no, passwd, then enter your password at the prompt [06:04] hieu: it's interactive, just type passwd [06:04] ok [06:04] http://www.pastebin.org/36969 [06:04] cypha, try a different repository?

[06:18] hi all, can I have some help with cdrecord pretty please? [06:18] ubud: you need a virtual machine like qemu, kvm, vmware, or virtualbox for that [06:18] for example, i have compiz enabled...and when i scroll my mouse wheel (on my laptop's synaptec touchpad) it goes down to the next virtual desktop.....but i have horizontal scroll enable in the mouse settings in Preferences........however, to scroll to the other virtual desktops...the right or left doesn't work to scroll, only top and bottom [06:19] lnxidiot, what is the precise problem [06:19] well, I have tried everything I can think of, I tried cdrecord -scanbus [06:19] it sees the device for the cd recording as 0,2,0 [06:19] lnxidiot, what is your end goal please be precise [06:19] to record the knoppix image to a blank cd [06:19] bazhang! how about a precise solution?

[06:39] I didn't capitablize anything [06:39] it was all lowercase [06:39] m0u5e, you can use 'cpufreq-selector' from the keyboard, or install the emifreq-applet on your taskbat.

[06:42] _bam: what other sites are not working? [06:42] lnxidiot: read the links you were given, they will help you. [06:42] m0u5e, if you want to lower the PRIORITY of a task vs. others, the only way I can think of is renice. But I don't think you can tune it exactly to a certain percentage of CPU usage.

[06:45] _bam: that is odd [06:45] can we speak about cdrecord topics now? [06:45] bazhang : k dude :-) [06:45] using wubi does it make a diff if a have a seperate partition for installing it? [06:45] tv7497: well, it really depends how many people have it, and how fast their connections are. That's just the nature of the beast [06:45] tv7497, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic [06:45] _bam: try setting up a different set of DNS [06:45] lnxidiot: if no one knows the answer to your question no one will answer, try asking again every 10 minutes or so [06:46] any idea about my bind question ? it is set on bind9, bay the way. tk [06:46] james_027: no, wubi lives inside a file on your NTFS filesystem [06:46] hello everyone.

[06:47] between nvdia and ati which card has best support for it's driver and performance on ubuntu with compiz? [06:47] sanzky: It will if there's a build in that directory. :-) [06:48] james_027: it all depends on which card you get, but usually nvidia [06:48] james_027: Historically nVidia is better for Compiz but currently, I've heard that ATI supports it too.... [06:48] astro76, same thing. [06:48] !o4o [06:48] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

[06:50] bazhang : ?????????? i didnt get u sir [06:50] james_027: I mean that Compiz requires video drivers to support AIGLX (Accelerated Indirect GLX), and historically nVidia supported AIGLX more than ATI. [06:50] tv7497, /msg ubottu for fun if you wish, ie not here === Traveler42 is now known as cateddy [06:51] james_027: Apparently current ATI drivers support AIGLX too, but I haven't tested it myself, since I don't have an ATI laptop anymore. [06:51] bazhang : k sir :-) [06:51] lgc: are you using slocate or locate command? you should use locate because actually ubuntu is using mlocate not slocate [06:51] are some problems in linux or ubuntu not solvable? [06:51] lgc: the warning should be just that, a warning but it should still work, of course I realize you shouldn't be getting the warning [06:52] with a nice value of 19, my compile is still affecting my system performance -__-; [06:52] m0u5e: Niceness only affects CPU-bound processes. It sounds like your compilation is IO-bound. [06:52] I have windows xp on one machine with 256 meg of memory. [06:52] Hello, I want to rezize a partition and make a new one in the free space, what tool should I use? and is it safe? the partition I want to make smaller is the / mount point [06:52] lgc: and if you installed slocate... maybe that screwed something up [06:53] cky: is there a way i can throttle that? :X [06:53] Привет всем:) [06:53] !ru | agent007 [06:53] !ru | agent007 [06:53] agent007: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke [06:53] I tried in install ubantu along side of windows. [06:53] m0u5e: if there's a way, I wish I know it. :-( [06:54] It says the the installer needs 256 memory and won't install. [06:54] lgc: you can also check 'sudo update-alternatives --config locate' and make sure it is set to mlocate [06:54] cky XD [06:54] cateddy: Grab the alternate CD instead of the Desktop CD, that'll install on systems as low as 32MB (or 8MB, if you do it right) [06:54] cateddy, with that minmal amount of ram fluxbuntu might be a better choice [06:54] hello please help me [06:55] I have nvidia fx5200 card [06:55] astro76, you were right: with 'locate' it doesn't complain. But I'm puzzled, because 'locate' didn't use to work on Ubuntu, but 'slocate'. At least till 7.10, if I'm correct. [06:55] Thanks for the help on this.. [06:55] lgc: locate should always have been a link to slocate ( or managed by alternatives system) [06:55] I will give it a try. [06:56] ali_, whats the issue? [06:56] lgc: but yeah I believe mlocate instead of slocate is new [06:56] running compiz [06:56] astro76, what does 'update-alternatives' do? [06:56] !nvidia | ali_ [06:56] ali_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:56] windows move bar on top dont show [06:57] ali_, sorry, please ask in #compiz [06:57] ok [06:57] lgc: it manages choices when there are multiple options, like choosing default editor between nano and vi [06:57] astro76, Oh, I see. [06:58] can anyone help me with making counter strike source work? [06:58] if i run too many things at once... is it more likely for my programs to experience errors? (what was that called.... collusion?) [06:58] !anyone | mookinator1313 [06:58] mookinator1313: 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? [06:58] lgc: man update-alternatives has a pretty verbose explanation ;) [06:59] lol [06:59] m0u5e: running too many things at one when hardware specs dont allow it isnt a good idea [07:00] astro76, I can see that. [07:00] babolat: but *why* isn't it a good idea (besides things run slow) [07:00] * Kiago is kicked by babolat (No Lol) [07:00] babolat: barring out over heating, etc, why is it bad :X [07:00] Kiago, please dont [07:00] I have done everything possible to get the restrictive driver up for my wifi Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) but couldn,t please ref http://pastebin.com/m71f1b62a [07:00] what Kiago did is not allowed? :X [07:00] is the diff very big between wubi install ubuntu from manual install ubuntu? [07:01] m0u5e: go Google it or something. i really don't know [07:01] james_027: That depends on what differences you're talking about [07:01] Hey guys...just I just moved my drives over to a new comp and now Xorg won't load. Is there any way to have it redetect the new hardware for a new xorg.conf when it loads? [07:02] babolat: okay thx [07:02] Flannel: could you notice it right away? [07:02] james_027: there are quite some diffs. www.wubi-installer.org might have more for you [07:02] james_027: I think most of us would recommend wubi only for trying out, but a real installation when you are serious [07:02] james_027: You mean the experience you get while running? No, there's a small performance penalty for disk access, but other than that, it should be more or less the same from a users point of view [07:03] hi [07:03] Flannel: yes that's what I mean ... [07:03] james_027: it will be near full speed unlike a livecd [07:03] james_027: but from a technical perspective or a few others, there are some considerable differences. [07:04] astro76: great to hear that :) [07:04] hello === gue is now known as co_januari [07:05] Flannel: does that has something to do with performance? [07:05] james_027: The performance is more or less the same, unless youre doing a lot of disk reads/writes [07:06] thanks: :) [07:06] how can i make firefox use xmms for pls files instead of the mplayer plugin? [07:06] I installed Ubuntu using Wubi and found no differences between Wubi installation and real installation in performance [07:07] zhongxin: nice to hear that :) [07:07] :-) [07:07] would optipng also make it faster for a program to display those pngs, or does it just save space? [07:07] !info wubi [07:07] Package wubi does not exist in hardy [07:07] does it increase cpu usage?

[07:16] si [07:16] Anyone here who could help with postfix name resolution problem? [07:16] lgc: dist-upgrade you mean? [07:16] astro76, yes.

The only difference is that it can installed inside windows, without partitioning and stuff [07:19] lgc: I'm trying to see what was actually default before, but packages.ubuntu.com is down. However, mlocate looks at timestamps and therfore takes less time to update then slocate [07:19] Mensch kann mir jemand helfen oder wie? [07:19] astro76, I see.

[07:23] i thought skype had somethign to do with this [07:23] bazhang: about 29 GB [07:24] cypha: you should be able to install or update skype if you've fixed your problem, since skype is in the medibuntu repo === sysoev is now known as pestkam [07:24] bazhang: but then i started copying little bits of data at a time, i even tried copying a folder with about 60 MB in it, and it hung! [07:24] yeah, what the hell is medibuntu anyway [07:24] and the same folder copied in windows in like 3 seconds [07:24] domino14: how many files? if it's thousands I would use cp -a from command line instead [07:25] astro76: yes it's thousands [07:25] astro76, let me call it a night before I fall asleep on the keyboard. Thanks for the help and good night. 'Later. [07:25] !medibuntu | cypha [07:25] cypha: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [07:25] you guys think it's a nautilus problem then [07:25] guess i fixed it [07:25] thanks astro [07:25] i keep getting the following error when running scripts on amarok "PyQt (Qt bindings for Python) is required for this script." [07:25] domino14: that would be my guess [07:26] any ideas? [07:26] is medibuntu not free? === fhiste_ is now known as fhiste [07:26] nautilus is now completely frozen, what can i do [07:26] if i want mount a nfs partition, i must install nfs-common?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [07:28] now how do i get nautilus to come back? [07:28] cypha: most if it is free but with legal restrictions depending on where you live... but some is non-free, like skype [07:29] domino14: just open a new nautilus [07:29] it wont open [07:29] i haven't any super user in ubuntu? [07:29] cypha: keep in mind I am not referring to free cost, but free libre [07:29] fixed my problem [07:29] ive had this happen before, the drive freezes, i try killall nautilus, and it never reopens unless i reboot [07:29] !sudo | msshams [07:29] msshams: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [07:29] astro: ohh, free for editiability? [07:30] domino: hmm what does ps -e | grep nautilus display?

[07:32] yeah [07:32] it didn't hear my voice [07:32] but i can hear it [07:32] domino14: kill 6007 [07:32] i installed ubuntu 8.04 now. when i try install nfs-common package with apt-get it says: E: Package nfs-common has no installation candidate, how can i fix it? [07:32] msshams, nfs or ntfs [07:33] Rat409: i did, and it still says 6007 ? 00:00:14 nautilus [07:33] when i do ps -e | grep nautilus [07:33] sudo kill 6007 [07:33] domino: its strange. did you use the -9 option? [07:33] rewel [07:34] NFS [07:34] astro76, do u know a guy? [07:34] bazhang: NFS [07:34] msshams, what are you trying to do [07:34] sudo kill -9 6007 [07:34] 6007 ? 00:00:14 nautilus [07:34] still there :( [07:35] msshams: apt-get search nfs | grep nfs-comon ... Are you get in list you package? [07:35] domino: wow if you can [07:35] 't [07:35] what does -9 mean [07:35] sudo killall -15 nautilus maybe [07:35] cypha: I know a few, for what now? [07:35] would you refer me, dr.? [07:35] =) [07:35] -9 means kill overide, as in the program has no choice but to quit. since it didn [07:35] still there. what does mean? [07:36] 't i don't know what to say [07:36] means non-responsive [07:36] is there some sort of stronger kill command, like nuke or annihilate [07:36] probly a zombie process [07:37] or defunct=stopped? [07:37] domino14-> yes shutdown [07:37] domino: not really, but there are faster ways to reboot, sudo init 3 then init 5 or alt+ctrl+backspace [07:37] can someone answer some soundcard questions? [07:37] ...actually a microphone question? [07:37] druid-tim what are those commands [07:38] druid-tim: not in ubuntu or debian, redhat uses 3 and 5 runlevels [07:38] ubuntu just uses 2 [07:38] I am using gtk-recodmydes and I am looking in the tmp where it says it makes the movie and I don't see anything. I see tmp.svkual5473 files that is mime type application/octe-stream could that be a tmp file that is use to store the movie [07:39] man what the hell is wrong with my computer [07:39] domino: init sets the run level . 3 is non-graphical , meaning kills all graphical programs, 5 brings it back to normal . alt+ctrl+backspace restarts x server which in short does the same thing [07:39] the cp command is hanging and ic ant even kill it [07:39] i removed a wifi card and added a wired nic, the wifi was eth3, but the new nic is eth4, how do i make my new interface eth3 [07:41] how can i get to my "my documents" from my ntfs? [07:41] guys how can I install the glib and gtk+ [07:41] it won't let me see the files [07:41] (and by the way, sometimes it doesn't mount on startup) [07:41] fun, I found some simple exemple of cross-plaform programming language (python by exemple) so I can learn a language to administer ubuntu and win32. propritery language been a pain. [07:41] guys how can I install the glib and gtk+ ?

But how do I check see what outgoing and incoming internet connections my computer has? [07:50] ifconfig [07:50] i'm gonna get out of ubuntu just cuz everyone i ask for help makes fun of me that i'm using ubuntu! === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:51] cypha: is that a good reason not to use an OS? [07:51] well, considering i can't get it fixed, cuz no one will help me cuz they make fun of me or don't know how [07:51] hey everyone. i'm having trouble trying to install parallels on hardy. anything special i need to do. i have followed all the help bout linux headers and changing from dash to sh but nonw of the help applies to me [07:51] hi, is there a python serial module installed as standard in ubuntu ? [07:52] cypha: there is a plethora of dedicated ubuntu geeks who can help you at the ubuntuforums [07:52] pestkam: when i run this command: sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common. apt-get says: Package nfs-common has no installation candidate [07:52] druid-tim: a bad install? [07:52] it was a fresh install from the cd.. [07:52] who likes being helped in not-realtime [07:52] i don't edit /etc/apt/sources.list until now [07:52] =/ [07:52] i burned the cd image from the website [07:52] cypha, the answers are not always available right away [07:52] domino: was the cd downloaded? maybe it got corrupted. [07:52] i'm trying to do cp -av now, to copy files from my firewire HD [07:53] domino14_ is the cd from caniacol or is it a burned cd you made [07:53] msshams: pastebin your sources.list, since its missing some key components [07:53] druid-tim yes i downloaded the cd, corrupted ? how could it have passed checksums or run programs with corrupted data? [07:53] domino : check the checksums [07:53] cp -av is completely hanging after two files [07:53] domino: ok let me think [07:53] how can i do that? [07:53] domino14_ you may have a bad burned CD [07:54] msshams: please can you run command [07:54] but how is it possible that a bad burned cd could install a whole operating system [07:54] pestkam: when i try to run apt-get search it says: Invalid operation search [07:54] bazhang, i understand, i was just hoping to find someone that happened to know [07:54] domino: stranger things have happened to me. [07:55] domino14_ it's possible it's happened to me I tried to install DSL and it kept hanging on me [07:55] msshams: please can you run command ... sudo apt-cashe search nfs-common... and say .. see or not see .. in list your packege [07:55] msshams: apt-cache search, but I prefer aptitude search [07:55] ive used this firewire hd with gutsy back in the day, and it never gave me any problems [07:55] when i burned the cd i also checked an option to verify the integrity of the cd [07:55] apt-cache search [07:56] cypha, I have asked many times for help on things and people just do not know; in those cases I use the search words such as ubuntu hardy skype bug and get either launchpad bug reports or ubuntuforums links that are helpful [07:56] domino14_ yea you could have a bad install cd try reburning it at a slower rate and if that doesn't work request a free cd [07:56] lol...bazhang...ur way more advanced than me [07:56] u can't find issues cuz u probably haven't figured them out yourself [07:56] domino: so I think it's not currupted, but maybe something similar like bad driver maybe, do you have any non-standerd drivers? [07:56] i mean solutions [07:57] please help,i have a problem with restarting apache2 when i try to restart apache2 it show me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/13242/ [07:57] cypha, 99% of answers are a combo of either the bot or google and ubuntuforums/launchpad [07:57] i can't find solutions, cuz i have no damn clue...and i haven't found it on google cuz my queries turn up the issue and not hte solutions [07:57] druid-tim yes it asked me to install an nvidia driver [07:57] domino14_ druid-tim is right [07:57] i keep seing descriptions of my problem, but i JUST DON'T FIND solutions [07:57] even till the very last post [07:57] cypha, then it is a bug and you should file it [07:57] hey guys I know this isnt' related but, I need help with my ingame sound using a headset. I am using wine, and my sound is real tinty, I don't know how I can get it clear..also my system sounds don't play now [07:57] domino14_ then install it that might resolve some of your problems [07:58] it's probably overfiled [07:58] i did install it [07:58] but i'm sure people use skype [07:58] NVIDIA accelerated graphics card [07:58] so smeone has to have a solution [07:58] it's a "proprietary driver" [07:58] domino14_ but is it enabled [07:58] cypha, getting frustrated here wont get it fixed any faster [07:58] shadow420: yes it is [07:58] please help,i have a problem with restarting apache2 when i try to restart apache2 it show me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/13242/ [07:58] hey all! [07:59] how can I get a module to unload in hardy now? [07:59] domino: It could be the cd burned bad try burning it to an iso and ckeck the checksum to know for sure if you have the time (or re-burn the disk) and try using the nv driver instead of the nvidia one. [07:59] can i rest on your shoulder for a little bazhang? [07:59] how can I get a module to unload in hardy now? (when I suspend) [07:59] cypha: sudo apt-get update... if agane package is cannot be instaled => cheak you repository list [07:59] pestkam: when i run apt-cashe search nfs-common i didn't see anything [07:59] what's cheak mean? [07:59] domino14_ that is weird I installed it to my old p3 and I have no issues with hardy and I was using the beta at the time [07:59] domino: at least until you can rule the driver out [07:59] cypha, I dont use skype; really know almost nothing about it--you might consider some other solution or being patient until a solution is found [08:00] pestkam, i've done sudo apt-get update, it's fine [08:00] why? [08:00] hi people [08:00] please help,i have a problem with restarting apache2 when i try to restart apache2 it show me this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/13242/ [08:00] cypha : dude u have some problwm with skype [08:00] druid-tim: well i havent tried copying it with the driver disabled [08:00] I'm trying to download ubuntu desktop 64 bits [08:00] but the md5sum [08:00] it's a lot different [08:00] what if another program has a mci problem too? [08:01] does anybody has the md5sum [08:01] for 64 bits ? [08:01] How can I get hardy to unload/reload modules? [08:01] costal79: Yes. Desktop or alternate? [08:01] HI, from when I upgraded to hardy my ubuntu box, the numeric keyboard doesn't write and some shortcut as shift+canc doesn't do [08:01] desktop [08:01] in fact, when i run amarok, and i press the X to send it to the system tray, i get some sound error and cannot hear sound from there on, until i restart [08:01] bah. how can I get it to unload/reload modules *with suspend*? [08:01] costal79: fc43f665ba51c4be0d95c011aefef45d *ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso [08:01] costal79: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS [08:01] i dunno if that's related to my mic problem (while my sound is working) [08:01] yep I knew that [08:02] that's what I'm saying [08:02] cypha: i can send my /etc/apt/soururses.list on your e-mail. [08:02] the md5sum is different from there [08:02] also I've tried another mirros [08:02] mirrors [08:02] what does that do pest? [08:02] (sorry, cypha=n00b) [08:02] and the md5sum is different [08:02] pestkam > !paste [08:02] costal79: Do you have BitTorrent? If so, just re-torrent your .iso. [08:03] i'm have a problem, i'm trying to install "terminator" and it comes up with this error "sh: msgfmt: not found Error while running msgfmt" [08:03] costal79: If the .iso is mostly the same as the "good" copy, then it shouldn't take too long to sync up the rest of it. [08:03] Shadow420: !hui ? [08:03] the strange is that I've been trying with different mirros and I'm getting the same I'm wondering if the md5sum in the webpage is wrong [08:03] fine, ubuntu 1, cypha 0...i'm very sleepy [08:03] pestkam you could also paste.ubuntu.com for c-ypha [08:03] goodnight [08:03] this is what I'm getting 34dc27fd30af4c91f921038b6507e480 [08:03] !paste | pestkam [08:03] pestkam: 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) [08:03] costal79: the web page is definitely correct [08:04] mmm [08:04] costal79: Yeah. You should re-torrent your .iso, I reckon. [08:04] it sucks [08:04] I'm using wget from different mirrors [08:04] how do i check to see if my checksums are ok [08:04] !md5 [08:04] 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 [08:04] pestkam it's quick and easy to use [08:05] Shadow420: google doc's it quick =) [08:05] *is [08:05] pastebinit is quicker [08:05] costal79: Are you on an Ubuntu or Debian system? [08:05] ubuntu [08:05] 6.10 [08:06] costal79: Are you planning to upgrade it to 8.04? Upgrades can't use desktop image, only alternate. In which case, if you can't use BitTorrent (e.g., work firewall), you can use jigdo. [08:06] I want it to install it in another computer [08:07] cky: that's a moot point anyway, you can't go straight from 6.10 to 8.04 ;) [08:07] astro76: True, I misread that as 6.06. :-P [08:07] but my point is that the blody hash is different from the website [08:07] cky: ah ha :) [08:07] does anybody has desktop 64 8.0 that can send me the hash ? [08:08] costal79: I do, it's the same as the website [08:08] costal79, the website hash is right [08:08] is it 1.3G ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso ? [08:08] costal79: It's definitely not 1.3G. :-P [08:09] costal79: It's supposed to be a CD image, not a DVD. [08:09] cd is 1.3g? [08:09] costal79: it's 698 MB [08:09] costal79: dude it was sme where 699 mb [08:09] is this ubuntu-ultimate? [08:09] I'm selecting "64bit AMD and Intel computers" [08:09] I want to record my desktop , I have try gtk-recorddes and it don't work at all, then I istanbul and it mess as well, I find if I don't record sound they do fine . Is any good program for combining video and sound ? if if I record them separate ? [08:10] bazhang : ubuntu ultimate ???????/ [08:10] costal79: If you can't BitTorrent, you can rsync the image from an image mirror. [08:10] costal79: In any case, both methods will allow you to download the differences between your image and the official one, without a full redownload. [08:10] costal79, please pastebin sources.list [08:11] bazhang: That's a bizarre question...what's sources.list got to do with anything? [08:11] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [08:11] :P [08:11] cky, want to see distro name [08:11] abd then I choosed 64bit AMD and Intel computers [08:11] i wan help in installinf X on rhel 5 [08:12] udinesh5: then you are definitely in the wrong channel [08:12] udinesh5, ubuntu? [08:12] coastal79: dude its still 699 mb from the website that u gave [08:12] yeah i am a debian user but now breaking head with rhel lol [08:12] udinesh5: heh try #linux ;) [08:12] i am sorry for that [08:13] sure [08:13] udinesh5: or #redhat [08:17] [08:17] how do i find out how many bytes is the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso [08:17] domino14_: may i ask what you need it for? [08:18] im trying to see if my cd that i burned was corrupted [08:18] !md5 | domino14_ [08:18] domino14_: 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 [08:18] i installed ubuntu 8.04 now. when i try install nfs-common package with apt-get it says: E: Package nfs-common has no installation candidate, can anyone help me? in here? [08:18] i saw that already [08:18] anyone know why amarok isn't compiled with MP4/AAC tagging support? [08:18] it tells me to do dd if=/dev/cdrom | head -c bytecount | md5sum [08:18] domino14_: that's how you check if a disc is corrupt. [08:18] so im trying to figure out how big that cd is [08:19] domino14_: don't bother trying to figure that out. The | md5sum part gives you the md5sum of the cd, which you can check to see if it was corrupted. [08:19] i need the bytecount [08:19] head -c prints out all those bytes [08:19] i need the entire iso [08:19] domino14_: why? It can still be corrupted and be the same size [08:20] doesnt md5sum take into account the size [08:20] i give it all the bytes with dd and then head [08:21] it calculates the checksum, and then i compare it to what the web site says it is. i got that from the website [08:21] msshams: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13248/ [08:21] hi [08:21] msshams: cheak [08:21] domino14_: if you follow that guide on the first link you can check it just fine. [08:22] can someone help me with a graphics problem? [08:22] GBrain: if you can explain us the problem :-) [08:22] hehe yea of course. [08:23] I'm trying to set the resolution of my notebook to 1400x1050 [08:23] but it will not work [08:23] domino14_: you could boot the cd and use the "check cd for defects" option [08:23] msshams: sorry don't use hardy... other repository it's ok [08:23] GBrain: i see. And you have the drivers for your videocard? Could you tell me which one please? [08:24] guys, i'm having some trouble w/ fluxbox. can someone tell me how to fix this problem? it says that my session only lasted 10 seconds. I can't copy what I get from the error msg. [08:24] I have an intel card [08:24] mom a tick [08:24] lspci ... VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [08:25] how can I follow another user connected from the terminal, follow as in what he is doing. [08:25] and.. I think I'm using the i810 driver. [08:25] pavs: the w command [08:25] w pts/2? [08:26] GBrain: ok.

[08:38] giloth: metacity is used when compiz isn't available. By starting metacity you disable compiz. Once you've enabled the drivers, try switching to metacity with it. opens up the run dialog on gnome.

[08:39] GBrain: as long as you add my name when you speak to me, i can read it all just fine. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf there should be a line called drivers. What is that line called? [08:39] also, i don't mean to be a pest as i could probably look this up, but I currently have two windows partitions. is there any limitation that requires my boot partition to be the first logical partition? i remember that lilo required the kernel to be on a sector < 1024.

[08:40] it mostly has to do with my firewire HD .. i cant copy from it using nautilus without it hanging [08:40] garrett__: no, and that lilo limitation was still only with old BIOS [08:40] stewy, this is ubuntu or not [08:40] and then i kill nautilus, and it never comes back, and i have to restart my computer [08:40] astro76: much thanks. i'm getting the feeling that this is going to be less involved than i was expecting. [08:40] and if i try copying using cp -a, it also hangs and stops copying after a couple of files [08:40] hischild: at the moment my Driver-Option in the "Device-Section" is set to "vesa" ... if I try using "i810" the X-Server will not start [08:40] im runing linux ubuntu 8.04 [08:40] how do i see if i currently have hyperthreading enabled again (i forgot the command) [08:40] someone suggested my install was corrupt, but the cd checks out [08:41] m0u5e: cat /proc/cpuinfo [08:41] stewy: use /dev/brain [08:41] domino14_: does the iso check out too? [08:41] astro76: thx :) [08:41] GBrain: the way i'd normally walk now, would be to ask you to enable it, and then pastebin the output of dmesg which would contain information as to why it won't start. [08:42] hischild: Ok I'll check it out and give you the message from dmest [08:42] dmesg [08:42] woohoo the metacity --replace worked like a charm [08:42] anyone here know what terminal he is using and what color scheme it is applied in this pic? [08:42] http://nano.fooo.org/screen-april.png [08:42] is there a way to make it like that by default so i don't need to do it everytime? [08:42] is there a more advanced utility for cpu stepping? my processor supports 9 steps, yet i only see it at 2.8ghz and 1.6ghtz [08:42] m0u5e -- i dont know, i did a fresh install :) [08:43] if the iso didnt check out, but the burned cd did check out, that would be insane [08:43] giloth: it should default to metacity now. Howevery, it would appear that compiz is broken. [08:43] giloth: System > Prefs > Appearance, Visual Effects tab [08:43] domino14_: i mean your original iso cd image... did you md5sum the file? [08:43] m0u5e no i didnt, i left it on my computer and then reformatted with the ubuntu install [08:43] domino14_: :( [08:43] thx hischild - prolly not compiz thats broken just ati like normal :) [08:43] but how could the original iso not check out, and the cd itself check out [08:44] domino14_: i'd just try reinstalling... is it a laptop? were you moving it around as it burned? etc [08:44] nope it's a desktop... [08:44] should i try disabling the nvidia proprietary driver? [08:45] it just doesnt make sense to me that a reinstall would fix everything [08:45] :/ [08:45] domino14_: depends on what kind problems your having... [08:45] domino14_: i don't know, sometimes a reinstall will magically fix things for me [08:45] i basically cant copy from my firewire HD without it hanging [08:45] domino14_: did you install a bunch of packages? etc [08:45] yes [08:45] one more question and i'll stop buggin - whats the fglrx gear test command? [08:45] just teh stuff it told me to, and a few things like qt, g++, emacs [08:45] nothing weird. and that nvidia driver [08:46] giloth: glxgears [08:46] domino14_: does your harddrive also have usb? [08:46] domino14_: and what filesystem? [08:47] anyone here know what terminal he is using and what color scheme it is applied in this pic? [08:47] http://nano.fooo.org/screen-april.png [08:48] astro76: hard drive came formatted with dos filesystem [08:48] well thats what it says [08:48] how do i check the filesystem [08:48] hischild: I had to restart the notebook because the screen blackend and the X-Server would not start with the "i810" option set. The log-File says I810: No matching Device Section for instance (BusID PCI:0:2:1) found. [08:48] hischild just to let you know compiz was my problem but its not compiz that is the problem i don't think - 3d screensavers are giving similar effects to the screenshot i posted [08:48] hischild: (EE) No devices detected. [08:48] domino14_: that could be ntfs or fat32 [08:48] hischild: Fatal server error: No screens found [08:49] GBrain: i see. Is there a line in xorg.conf that shows that address? If so, please run << sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg >> to create a new xorg and see if it still does the same thing. [08:49] nice pen, if you find out, tell me too! [08:50] giloth: i see. The only times i've seen such a thing was when my gfx overheated or compiz was broken [08:50] it says filesystem type: msdos [08:51] hischild: address... you mean the BusID? I have the BusID "PCI:0:2:0" in my Device Section in the conf-file [08:51] GBrain: that one yes. [08:51] SFauconnier, sure, same to me ;) [08:51] GBrain: it's probably pointing not at your gfx card but something else. [08:52] SFauconnier, btw, what do you think? is it xterm? it doesn't look like gnome-terminal [08:52] hischild: ah. could it be the builtin display controller? [08:52] GBrain: that's possible. [08:52] hischild: the address shown in LSPCI is 0:2:0 .. the display controller is 0:2:1 [08:53] /join #evilution [08:53] GBrain: type lspci [08:53] GBrain: in lspci it shows as 0:2:0 and xorg has 0:2:1 ? [08:54] fxtgear: 00:02.0 VGA comnpatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile Integrated ... (rev 03) [08:54] pen: it doesn't look like gnome-terminal, wether it's x-term, I have no idea. [08:54] hischild: well.. it almost seems to be the case [08:55] pen: looks like an a-term that has been skinned a bit, with vim and syntax highlights on. [08:55] hischild: the other one shown in lspci is: 00:02.1 Display Controller: Intel Mobile... [08:55] hischild, a-term? [08:56] pen: and screen with a somewhat decent hardstatus line in his .screenrc [08:56] pen: sort of like x-term but then different, like with most things in the world of linux. [08:56] hischild: i have 0:2:0 in my conf file.. witch should address the VGA compatible controller... [08:56] hischild: shouldn't it? [08:56] hischild, so it's one of the variant of xterm? [08:56] GBrain: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should put it all back like it should. Make a copy of your current xorg first. [08:56] astro76, so he is using screen? [08:56] pen: yeah [08:57] pen: could be yes. Can also be one of the many other ones. [08:57] astro76, how do you come to this conclusion? [08:57] hischild, I see [08:57] hischild, but how can you turn on the syntax highlight in a terminal like that [08:57] pen: because I've written such hardstatus lines ;) [08:57] pen: http://engineeringlinux.org/wiki/GNU_Screen [08:57] whoa!! [08:57] pen: it's not a terminal you're watching, that's probably something like vim with syntax highlighting on [08:58] i disabled the nvidia driver, and now things are ok, it seems [08:58] hischild, but it says terminal... [08:58] pen: there is really nothing to the terminal, it could be anyone [08:58] how could the nvidia driver screw up my firewire HD? [08:58] astro76: screen can hide the title bar names?

[09:01] Purplemess: what driver are you attempting to install/activate? [09:02] astro76, vi or vim?

[09:02] hischild: I'm running ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop, which has an Intell Pro/Wireless 3945AB card in it.

[09:24] that's out of date [09:24] odinsbane: So, I assume that it's done... ^.^ [09:24] Ganandorf: if you can't enable them in System > Prefs > Appearance, ask in #compiz-fusion [09:27] Hey, can anyone help me with some compiz problems? I got it to work after a lot of trouble--I have an ATI card--but after I rebooted now it drains all the system resources and causes the computer to eventually just freeze entirely, even cursor and no combos work to get out i.e. ctrl+alt+bspace [09:27] I have problems with Intel 945 <> xorg-server 1.4.1git. It might cause GDM to crash. Is this a known issue? === RandomCake__ is now known as RandomCake [09:28] haxt when that happens have you tried switching tty's ? alt-ctrl F6 ? [09:29] hey everybody, after upgrading to hardy, I started to have continuous problems with 16 packages, including: ubufox, docbook-xml, scrollkeeper, xubuntu-desktop, update-manager, update-notifier... At the beginning the update manager complained about not being able to configure them because of some missing files. I re-installed xml-core, which resolved some of the issues. Now I am getting "Package problem, the package ... failed to install or upgrade" error for e [09:29] Hi... ive been told that adding "clocksource=hpet" to the kernel command line will fix the really slow hardy boot issue. It does. Just want to confirm, is it safe to make this permentant? === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [09:29] odinsbane: i've tried every binding posible. only fix is power button. [09:30] haxt, I have that same problem sometimes when I start wine, and somebody said the tty switch would work, but ...I haven't tried it. [09:30] Hi... ive been told that adding "clocksource=hpet" to the kernel command line will fix the really slow hardy boot issue. It does. Just want to confirm, is it safe to make this permentant? [09:31] chazco: Well failsafe, which im in now, runs optimally with no slowness. So it's still the same kernel i'm on. Maybe an HPET conflict with compiz? [09:31] Not sure... i have the clocksource unstable issue in Hardy, along with the firefox bugs, so trying to fix the first one... dont have compiz enabled [09:32] chazco: And it's not a slow boot time. It's once I try to start using the computer once it's booted and compiz tries to start animating stuff it just freezes. === chazco_ is now known as chazco [09:32] chazco: that sucks to hear. what kinda firefox bugs? [09:33] It crashes all the time and closes randomly... moved one PC to Arch already because of it, but want Ubuntu on the laptop [09:33] chazco: have you tried booting in failsafe? [09:33] The clocksource issue is when the kernel tries to load for me... the splash thing moves from side to side [09:34] where do i change the private key ? each time i try to ssh to another box a window pops up 'unlock prviate key' when i hit deny, i can then login to the box [09:34] Nope, fresh install so thought it wasnt worth the hassle. Tried to install FF2... madness to use a beta in a released system [09:34] [09:35] hmm, strange.. I installer the jre-plugin and got no errors. But the the plugin doesnt work at all.. Nothing about java when typing about:plugins in the browser [09:35] chazco: lol yeah betas in a final release is weird. hmm. just in my case failsafe makes everything work while i try to fix it in normal boot. and you say "tried" to install FF2? [09:35] i deleted windows vista today [09:35] hatter how about your .ssh/known_hosts file? [09:35] it is the worst piece of crap in the world [09:35] haxt - The profiles clashed for some reason, will try a different approach next time. [09:35] i wanted to back up the install just in case, cuz i did pay for the operating system in a way by buying the compuer [09:35] and it required like 25 CDs [09:35] domino14: lol that's nice to hear. hopefully you're not new to linux? [09:36] nope im not [09:36] ive been using linux on and off for like 8 years [09:36] vista is absolutely awful [09:36] chazco: have you tried ff3rc1 yet? you can copy it right into the beta5 folder which is the recommended way to install it until ubuntu repos have it [09:36] btw,got Vista/Ubuntu dual-boot setup (i need Windows for some stuff)... i hear SP1 breaks grub support, is this true? [09:36] Unlike me. I'm so new I don't even know how to mount a .iso image to a virtual cd-drive under hardy =) [09:36] haxt - To be fair, a RC is still not a good plan for me [09:36] odinsbane, i was just wondering if 8.04 has a gui management thing for keys [09:37] hatter I have no clue [09:37] chazco: but in the world of linux trying several things can wield unexpected results. [09:37] I have a problem, when I installed ubuntu, it just made a / partition and a swap, and everything that isnt used by swap is in /, I want to havea separate partition for /home, what is the easiest way to change that? [09:38] crille - When i created a seperate /home for the first time i found a backup and fresh-install (create /home during install) was the eaisiest [09:38] So if I remove 'compiz' will my computer work more like it did before I upgraded to hardy? [09:38] chazco: thats what I feared [09:38] You _can_ do it by resizing partitons, but its quite a bit of hassle [09:39] odinsbane: have you just tried using metacity instead? [09:39] haxt for what? [09:39] odinsbane: metacity --replace [09:39] odinsbane: that has fixed some people's problems. [09:40] chazco: Learned the hard way that having a separate /home is a good failsafe in case you need to reinstall =/ [09:40] heh, thats why i made one... I used to break Ubuntu totally about once a week :) [09:40] ;) [09:40] chazco: normally once a day for me when the new release comes out lol [09:41] Does anyone here know Bryce Harrington? [09:41] firefox doesn't let me use the save image... thing or set a image as background... [09:41] when i click save image nothing happens [09:41] Bryce Harrington = Ubuntu Xorg Maintainer [09:42] And he could fix our problems odinsbane [09:42] Thanks for the help, c ya [09:42] how do i get the effects and screen savers for compiz that i saw on youtube [09:43] Ganandorf: Do you have an ATI or nVidia card? [09:43] nvidia 8400 [09:43] Have you tried enabling Desktop Effects yet? [09:43] yep i did i have some of the effects [09:44] open a terminal [09:44] but i don't know how to get the spinning cude and all that [09:44] ok [09:44] terminal open [09:44] sudo apt-get install ccsm [09:45] Ganandorf: it install? [09:45] it says it couldn't find package [09:45] k hold on [09:45] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [09:45] try that ganandorf [09:45] ok [09:45] and do you have all your repo's open? [09:45] can i use VLC to stream embedded quicktime in firefox? [09:46] ljsoftnet: i think smplayer plugin for firefox handle qt [09:46] handles* [09:46] ok i think it installed [09:46] haxt how do i install it? [09:47] Hello, I got a proble, that if I login witout X windows, then it will be a failare ,but if with x windows GUI system, it's a success [09:47] Ganandorf: ok goto System>Prefs>Advanced Desktop blah balh [09:47] dpkg: error processing kio-umountwrapper (--remove): [09:47] subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 [09:47] Errors were encountered while processing: [09:47] kio-umountwrapper [09:47] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [09:47] pip: error message? [09:47] ljsoftnet: Applications>Add/Remove [09:47] i saw that at th eend [09:47] jatt, Is it possible that there is no any error message ? [09:47] ok it opened [09:48] jatt, OK, wait please [09:48] hello! May anyone tell me why radeon driver is blacklisted in compiz (is there any danger in using it?) it seems to work fine with me? [09:48] Ganandorf: there should be all your settings. if you want a cube, enable 3d cube and rotating cube and make sure you haev atleast 4 horizontal workspaces [09:48] jatt, what log do you want ? [09:48] ok cool and what about the screen savers [09:48] anyone knows which package includes alsaconf? (I need to configure soundcard cause spdif connector on mainboard is not detected/used under linux) [09:49] Ganandorf: i don't use screen savers so i wouldn't know sorry lol [09:49] can somebody help me fix this: i can't save images or set a image as background in firefox. i googled but can only find windows solutions and something about ubuntu that i don't understand. "save link as" also doesn't work [09:49] Ganandorf: i know if you goto System>Prefs>Screensaver that you can enable them, maybe you'll find what you want in there [09:50] what happens is, when i click it, nothing happens, not even get a location box [09:50] jatt,Do you want to check the kernel log ? [09:50] Ikonz: click? tried right-click? [09:50] yeah im not totally retarded :P [09:50] * MatBoy is away: MatBoy Hides ;) [09:51] haxt: ok thanks alot been trying to get this figured out for weeks [09:51] Ikonz: so nothing comes up? is this only in firefox and not on dtop? [09:51] firefox [09:51] is dtop another browser or sometihng? [09:51] Ganandorf: glad I could help. I'm jsut sitting here trying to find someone to help me with my problems. Compiz lags the hell out of my pc after i rebooted when it worked PERFECT before reboot [09:51] Ikonz: dtop=desktop [09:51] oh crap [09:51] yeah, it happens in firefox [09:52] Ikonz: FF3B5? [09:52] i right click on a image or file, save link or image, nothing happens [09:52] yes [09:52] Ikonz: try a different firefox. FF3RC1 came out yesterday. [09:52] ok i hope i don't get any trouble with it i am running linux on a 6 gig hard drive [09:52] lol [09:52] Also, FF2 can be installed in Add/Remove [09:52] * MatBoy is back (gone 00:01:52) [09:53] Ganandorf: LOL my linux partition is only 10gb [09:53] That hurt, I ran compiz. Had to hit the power button. [09:53] hai hai.i have problem with flash player - it's laggy and sound is bad (i am using non-free) how can i fix this problem? [09:54] eodinsban: do you have an ati card? [09:54] possibly I am not sure. [09:54] I do not have an nvidia card [09:54] poopuser: you need to probably install and configure pulse audio. [09:54] thank u [09:54] i try [09:55] eodinsban: hmm, well you need to know to begin troubleshooting. [09:55] haxt: when i click on some of the settings it says that it requires a plugin is that supposed to happen [09:55] eodinsban: open up terminal and in there type "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [09:56] haxt I am pretty certain that it is not 3d [09:56] Ganandorf: yes cuz some of the special effects cant be on at the same time [09:56] eodinsban: can you open terminal and run that command and tell me when you've opened it? [09:56] Hi everyone, please tell me how to import Ms Office fonts to Open Office? Thank you [09:56] o ok so how do you know which ones can't be on at the same time [09:56] if theres a new firefox, why doesn't the upgrade manager tell me? apt-get also doesn't have it.... [09:57] is there like a manual for this [09:57] :-D [09:57] Ganandorf: common sense. like you can't have a cube desktop and a grid desktop. [09:57] haxt sure it is going. [09:57] haxt: i just checked and i have pulse audio installed [09:57] Ikonz: it [09:57] o ok i see cool [09:57] Ikonz: it's not in the repo yet, it takes 1-3 days normally [09:57] Ikonz: you have to download it and put it all inside the beta5 folder ORRR wait for the repo to be updated in a few days [09:58] poopuser: okay then is the Pulse Audio applet running in the top right? [09:59] poopuser: open System>Preferences>Sound and make sure the first 4 drop-down menus are set to PulseAudio Sound Server [09:59] haxt:there is a icon that looks like speaker [09:59] kk thx again [10:00] It's funny. I consider myself a linux noob, but I can help so many people LOL [10:00] I'm here looking for help, but instead I end up helping everyone else. [10:00] i need some help, my onboard wireless suddenly stopped working, iwlist scan gives no results and nm-applet picks up nothing, i had to install fresh install, the i looked at the lsmod for both and this is what is different, or mising from the non working wireless. wlan_tkip,wlan_scan_sta how do i load manually load it/ [10:00] haxt, I found an intel device. and I know my card is intel, but I don't know what 'ati' is so does intel make ati cards? [10:01] Chapai did you ifconfig 'wirelessdevice' up [10:01] eodinsban: no Intel is another possible manufacturer for your video card. MAKE SURE YOU DONT CHANGE ANYTHING in that xorg.conf [10:01] haxt so why would I 'sudo' it. I could just as well view it? [10:01] did not need to iwconfig shows the device and can even assign essid eodinsban [10:02] eodinsban: well if you had an ati I could've helped you. and it would save time if you couldve saved if you had had an ati card. make sense now? [10:02] problem is that i can't download the new version of firefox because firefox doesn't let me download anything -_- [10:02] haxt, so my card is not ati? === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [10:03] Ikonz if you have the address you could use wget
[10:03] so whats another browser that i can download from synaptic to do the job? i tried looking for opera but couldn't find it..anything else? [10:03] eodinsban: If you don't see any ATI or Radeon words in there and you see an Intel under the "Device" section then you probably have an Intel card, NOT an ati [10:03] ok ill try that [10:03] haxt I have an intel card. [10:03] Ikonz: or I could send you it :) [10:03] Ikonz: I'll get you the url so you can wget it okay? [10:03] hey haxt my problem with linux is that it does not recognize my other devices like webcam tv capture card and stuff === bezibaerch3n is now known as bezibaerchen [10:04] what do i need to detect them [10:04] haxt its cool compiz has found its way off of my computer. [10:04] Ikonz: http://pv-mirror02.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0rc1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.0rc1.tar.bz2 [10:04] :) [10:05] Ganandorf: hmm well I don't know how to help you there. [10:06] haxt i still don't know how to get some of the those effects i saw where can i get a manual for this [10:06] Ganandorf: you'd have to know what they are and install the applicable drivers [10:06] liek instructions and stuff [10:06] google.com = [10:07] which package is best? "adobe flash player" OR "swfdec player" OR "gnash" [10:07] msshams: i'd say the first. adobe. [10:07] never given me problems. [10:07] all flash has sound problems in hardy. requires proper sound drivers. [10:08] is that why you're asking? [10:10] i need some help, my onboard wireless suddenly stopped working, iwlist scan gives no results and nm-applet picks up nothing, i had to install fresh install, the i looked at the lsmod for both and this is what is different, or mising from the non working wireless. wlan_tkip,wlan_scan_sta how do i load manually load it/ [10:11] Chapai: i think you want modprobe [10:11] i thought so, but it did nothing ozzloy [10:12] Chapai: so it might be something like modprobe wlan_tkip [10:12] oh [10:12] well then i'm out of suggestions T_T [10:12] tried that nothing [10:12] it can be very frustration diagnosing a problem in ubuntu [10:14] doees synaptic keep some sort of record of installs and uninstalls? [10:14] yes [10:14] why does banshee crash when you add to much music into it? how the hell does it have a buffer overflow this is supposed to be MORE stable than windows, not LESS [10:14] /var/log/aptitude laeg [10:14] ty [10:15] np [10:15] Chapai: are you next to the internetless machine? [10:15] or are you on it, on a different os [10:15] Chapai: "IMPORTANT: this log only lists intended actions; actions which fail due to [10:15] dpkg problems may not be completed. [10:15] " [10:16] i am using it, (different partition) [10:16] my logs, installed and unstalled using aptitude laeg [10:16] esperegu: install gnome-alsamixer and set IEC958 sliders to zero [10:16] How often calls Ubuntu 8.04 ntpdate? [10:16] it doesn't show anything i installed via the synaptic package manager [10:17] it even list dependancies intalled or kept laeg [10:17] esperegu: alsaconf has been discontinued [10:17] haxt, do you have a feeling of what it might be? i can switch [10:17] Chapai: it vexes me greatly that ubuntu gives me 3 different ways to install packages without specifying which is best and causing solutions to have a 1 in 3 chance of success. [10:18] How can I show a (GUI) message from the console? [10:19] synaptic and aptitude are the same, one is just grpahical, i use aptitude laeg [10:19] if there the same why does /var/log not list things i've just installed? [10:19] in fact it only lists things i've installed via terminal [10:20] anyone know where to get font-schumacher-misc for ubuntu ? [10:20] huh, that might be laeg [10:20] <|et> is there a way to get your video card identifier to input into xorg.conf because mine says generic card but i have an nvidia 7600 [10:21] <|et> but im not sure what to enter as identifier [10:22] Chapai: never fear synaptic has its own history. how does apt-get and applications > add remove compare to aptitude/synaptic? i was of the understanding that aptitude removes obsolete software when installing a new package but the two former do not? [10:23] I've uninstalled pulse and switched everything in sound preferences over to alsa, but I still can't get system sounds to play. Things like clicks, logins, etc. [10:23] Chapai: well. have you tried selected roaming mode? and is it not allowign you to look for wireless networks at all because you say you're missing certain packages. if you know the names why dont you just install them [10:23] I have to use this to get iwl3945 working on Hardy http://linuxexpert.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/fix-intel-wireless-driver-on-hardy/ [10:23] Is there a downside to editing /etc/modprobe.d/iwl3945? Is there a better solution? [10:23] Arthur: is ESD enabled? [10:24] hi I have installed a driver for my laptop cam.The cam is now working fine but synaptic started reporting it as broken package and says to remove it.Can I stop this in synaptic ? thanks [10:24] I am using ubuntu 7.10 [10:24] i have not uninstalled anything, and its not package i think i am missing, its modules from lsmod. haxt [10:25] haxt... lemme check [10:25] brb [10:26] I don't see ESD in sound preferences haxt [10:27] Arthur: System>Prefs>Sound and then click the Sounds tab, it's at the top [10:27] Chapai: i think you have to patch your lsmod with the appropriate modules but i dont know how :\ [10:28] thanks for your time anyway haxt, [10:28] Does anyone know how to make compiz not run when I boot, but not be uninstalled? === moversti is now known as MM2 [10:29] <|et> is there a way to find out your video card identifier to input into xorg.conf because mine says generic card but i have an nvidia 7600 or is there a cmd to make it detect it? [10:29] legend2440: the description saids it gives me the same functionality as alsamixer... but I was looking for more since alsamixer did not fix the fact that onboard spdif adapter does not provide sound. [10:29] why not dissable effects haxt [10:29] How I disable that annoying start screen in emacs? [10:29] haxt: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects > None [10:29] Chapai & crdlb: I can't get there when I boot normally [10:29] |et: the Identifier is just a label; it has no semantic meaning [10:29] <|et> ohh okay [10:29] <|et> thankyou [10:29] you only do it once haxt [10:29] haxt: use the "Failsafe Gnome" session at the login screen [10:30] im in that right now cool [10:30] it will carry over? [10:30] it should still be disabled when you reboot haxt [10:30] crdlb: do you know anything about compiz login hang issues with ati cards? [10:30] haxt: explictly setting the effects level to None should do it [10:30] haxt ... in gconf-editir, change the window_manager key to metacity from compiz [10:30] esperegu: read #4 this may relate to your problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/no-output-through-spdif-but-analog-works.-how-do-i-get-output-through-spdif-265174/ [10:31] yeah what crdlb said [10:31] haxt yup, esd is enabled. [10:31] Disabling compiz is only my last resort. I was able to run compiz perfectly fine and i got it all configured. But then I rebooted and now it hangs after I login if I try to do anything liek move a window or open a program. [10:32] i am having shearing effects, lines in my videos can someone help, forumns got no solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780358 [10:32] Can anyone help me with troubleshooting? Possible xorg problems [10:32] esperegu: he fixed it by installing gnome-alsamixer and setting IEC958P slider to zero [10:32] try running it in terminal [10:32] and see if any errors show up [10:32] talking to me atmanam? [10:33] yup...sorry [10:33] anyone know where to get font-schumacher-misc for ubuntu ? [10:33] I'm in failsafe atm, and if I type in compiz it removes al titlebars and then lags the computer UNTIL it finally freezes--including cursor--and no button combos work i ahve to reboot [10:33] first kill the existing process using "sudo killall compiz.real" [10:33] legend2440: I will try. but I have an onboard coax digital (working) and a bracket with coax&optical connected to mainboard spdif connector (not working under linux but on windows it works) [10:33] and "sudo killall compiz-window-decorator" [10:34] then type compiz --replace....and see if any errors show up [10:34] compiz isn't running. I'm in failsafe. :| [10:34] i did both of those killalls and they weren't running [10:34] there are no errors [10:34] @haxt: ah..I missed the earlier conversation :) [10:34] the computer freezes [10:34] ah k [10:35] @haxt: Could you please repeat your graphics card specs and stuff [10:35] haxt: In failsafe, change that key I mentioned in gconf-editor to metacity. Then, to trouble shoot when you log in you run "--compiz replace" That way, if it freezes up on you, when you reboot you'll log in fine. Once you can run compiz without hanging the computer, you can change that key back. Simply disabling effects doesn't disable compiz. It's just compiz running and pretending its metacity. :) [10:35] i am having shearing effects, lines in my videos can someone help, forumns got no solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780358 [10:36] atmanam: ATI Radeon 9600XT, using open-source ati drivers because proprietary(including using envyng) doesn't allow compiz to run [10:36] is packages.ubuntu.com down?

[10:37] @chapai: run mplayer from terminal on a video file and post the output please [10:37] atmanam: And the thing is, when I first enabled compiz is ran fine and now that I reboot it causes all these problems.

[11:05] crdlb: could you think about what could be the problem with why it HANGS? [11:05] crdkb: before i manually changed xorg.conf [11:05] crdlb: compiz would start for a few seconds [11:05] haxt: there are bugs in the r300 driver [11:06] work..and then crash [11:06] which should be fixed soon now that ATI has released full specs [11:06] bullgard4: in synaptic package called pm-utils contains /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate. i think that is it [11:06] atmanam: thats what happens to me now [11:06] several specific models of the 9600 are known to have issues [11:06] crdlb: yeah i've heard the 9600xt is the worst :X [11:07] crdlb: but here's what boggles my mind. when i finally got the drivers to work and compiz ran FINE for like 8 hours. then i rebooted and it hangs and causes the pc to freeze. [11:07] haxt: did you modify xorg.conf between boots? [11:07] haxt: coz it does'nt get read [11:07] haxt: it could have been some sort of interaction between fglrx and the radeon driver (particularly the kernel modules) [11:08] haxt: unless you reboot..or restart X [11:08] bullgard4: did you find out the name of the applet [11:08] atmanam: i already told you all i have added in xorg is resolution [11:08] fglrx may have initialized the GPU in some way that the radeon DRM does not [11:08] haxt: try lsmod|grep radeon [11:09] crdlb: yeah it's something strange. that isn't obvious--atleast to me or anyone in the community.

[11:11] first I tried to use EnvyNG, but it's proprietary drivers didn't allow compiz to run at all [11:11] fran2: yes. [11:11] fran2: radeon 9600xt, you? [11:11] hi all, recently changed my GC from a NVIDIA 6800 to a AIT 9800 , there is a graphics program that I use , when i compile it now it is unable to find libGL and does not compile the opengl bit of the program, anyone have any ideas what I am missing [11:12] recon69: drivers that support ogl [11:12] haxt:fran2: check thinkwiki.org [11:12] recon69: are you using the open source driver or fglrx? [11:12] it helped me out with my problem..might help you guys too [11:12] using fglrc [11:12] running 9800 here [11:13] recon69: try xorg-driver-fglrx-dev then [11:13] but seriously..whats the point of compositing..it hardly adds anything to functionality..its just a lot of eyecandy [11:13] thinkwiki.org... thx [11:13] crdlb: could you tell me the differences between the os ati drivers and fglrx? [11:13] if you know [11:14] haxt: os ati drivers->releases by ati [11:14] haxt: "ati" is the open source driver developed by the community and fglrx is ATI (now AMD)'s proprietary blob [11:14] crdlb: is'nt that the other way round..but i'm not sure myself [11:15] crdlb: functionality wise, ati doesn't have ogl and fglrx does--is that about it? [11:15] haxt: they both support OpenGL [11:15] crdlb: I have all the  xorg-driver-fglrx drivers installed [11:15] recon69: but do you have xorg-driver-fglrx-dev installed? [11:15] crdlb: is there a way to test ogl support? [11:16] glxinfo I think [11:16] haxt: 'glxinfo | grep direct' is a primative method [11:16] haxt: the problem is that the open source driver's 3d support on r300 and up (you have an rv350) was reverse-engineered [11:17] but now ATI has released specs, so the major problems should be fixed [11:17] I don't think I even have an RV350, I think that's wrong. I think I have an RV360--in fact I'm sure of it. I have a Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600xt, not 9600 plain [11:17] hi, i would like to program small programs with code::blocks, i already got it installed, but it tells me now that g++ is missing, how can I add g++? [11:18] but technically the identifier doesn't do anythign right [11:18] carstendod1: install build-essential and g++ with the package manager [11:18] haxt: do lspci|grep VGA [11:18] my glxinfo http://rafb.net/p/TOfPif45.html [11:18] haxt: yep, it's just a label used to match the device section to the screen section [11:18] Starnestommy: Thank you!

I'm trying to install 8.04 from cd. It boots up fine, but it drops me to the installer shell after it loads the kernel. I'm getting "end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0" in dmesg.

[11:33] some links in firefox has logged of me ubuntu on several ocassions and now when open firefox, it covers both panels. but not in fullscreen mode. i only get out of by going fullscreen and out. [11:33] most of these screensavers consume a lot of cpu resources...... thats the reason i asked.. [11:33] haxt: Doing that, it's copying from a fedora home dir, but I can't see why that would matter [11:33] chmac: no actually i use a windowmanager.. [11:33] i'll try [11:33] perfector: you will not using your PC while the screensaver is on, why do you need the CPU power for? [11:33] perfector: What does that mean? [11:33] chmac: well if the files are hidden root might be able to copy them i would think anyways. [11:34] when i booted up into the live cd for 8.04 i got an error "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" [11:34] jatt: to run some aps in the background [11:34] wait wai twait [11:34] haxt: Command isn't working as root, but `cp -r folder dest/` works, but not with the wildcard [11:34] chmac: ok wait [11:34] chmac: are you talking about . files?

[11:37] haxt: lol [11:37] haxt: Ok, so debian is just different in that regard [11:37] dougsko: oh it just drops the priority u mean?? [11:37] cheers chmac [11:38] dougsko: so everytime i launch the screensaver i have to do it.. [11:38] i just downloaded and installed supybot but couldnt run it any idea guys ???????? [11:38] perfector: itll run it but with the lowest possible cpu priority. that way, itll minimally impact anything else youre doing [11:38] chmac: i suppose. i never encountered the problem but I just remember the extra wildcard. I don't know how fedora works. [11:38] haxt: It seems logical to me that /* would include . files, anyway... [11:38] dougsko: not very efficient dont u think?? [11:38] chmac: well see. you might copy them wtihout knowing. extra space being used [11:39] dougsko: isnt any other way to do it using xlock or xscreensaver or anything else? [11:39] perfector: its quite efficient, just alias it in your .bashrc like this --> alias xlock='nice -19 xlock' [11:39] when i booted up into the live cd for 8.04 i got an error "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon" [11:39] chmac: and in so many uses it might cause problems? who knows. the alphanumeric wildcard is easy to remember [11:39] haxt: lol, it's long to type though, and "to avoid accidents" doesn't sound like a reason that would fly with die hard hackers! :) [11:40] dougsko: hmmm... worth a try.. actually i was planning to bind it to my fluxbox keys or load the app during startup [11:40] chmac: haha die hard hackers use ubuntu? good one [11:40] perfector: i was just gonna say that [11:40] KyHilBly56, did you md5 the iso as well as do the cd integrity check; what speed did you burn the iso at [11:40] chmac: when i put on my black hat I run knoppix-std 8) [11:40] yes it was all good [11:40] haxt: why not? all the tools on knoppix are available for ubuntu [11:40] !ot | haxt [11:40] haxt: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [11:41] haxt: But Ubuntu requires no maintainance [11:41] perfector: Can you choose a screensaver which is just a blank screen? [11:41] perfector: That can't use much cpu can it? [11:41] dougsko: the best way would be if either of these screen locking apps have an option like that inbuilt.. but i cant seem to find it [11:41] bazhang: i dont need you telling me what to do. if anyone is being offtopic it's you talking to me. thanks. [11:41] so i couldnt set the video res...just 800x600 [11:42] gnotghol: ubuntu has required a lot of maintenance for me, atleast every time a new release comes out [11:42] KyHilBly56, get into the grub menu and remove quiet and splash from the kernel you are booting [11:42] perfector: You said you're not using Gnome, are you using KDE instead?

[11:46] chmac: i suppose. but if you remember for the future it could be useful. [11:46] haxt: I'll bear it in mind, thanks [11:47] KyHilBly56: it is quick. its right after the BIOS screen. when your booting, just hit 'esc' a bunch. you might enter your bios; if you do, just quit it and keep hitting escape and youll get in [11:47] Does apt-get install linux-686 actually do anything? I saw the comments for this package is that it is a "Dummy package can be removed" and installing it installs something very small less than 50kb [11:47] KyHilBly56: or just pay attention and watch :) [11:47] lol [11:47] ok man i'll try [11:47] is it mbr problem? [11:48] this is on the live cd boot now, not a perm install...does that make a diff [11:48] Ontolog: thats a meta package for one of the more specific kernels. you install that, and itll pick the most recent 686 kernel for you [11:49] psyxac: try with the dat disconnected, maybe it's a SCSI problem? [11:49] KyHilBly56: 99% sure it should be the same [11:49] ok [11:49] dougsko: ok so by installing linux-686 a new kernel was indeed installed?

[12:00] hi [12:01] psyxac: so what's the dat for? [12:01] psyxac: can you install without it to see if that works? [12:01] stothepizzle: select manual bootloader installation from the setup menu? [12:01] stothepizzle: asuming you are using the alternatecd [12:01] no, i'm not [12:01] graphicsal install cd [12:02] it means when i install NOVELL suse it goes upto time zone and when i want to install ubuntu it didnt start [12:02] if my exchange server is: rcc.mail(added in host.conf as 192.168.31.1 rcc.mail) then i added this line in postfix(relayhost=rcc.mail) will this foward all mail to my exchange server(rcc.mail)? [12:02] if the desktop cd doesnt offer that chroot into your installation from the livecd and setup the bootloader manualy using grub-install or the grub console [12:02] hi, I want to compare directory trees, and have listed the differences (either in a file, or onscreen) would prefer a graphical (gnome) interface. I DO NOT want to compare byte by byte. Just size, and timestamp would be enough (its gigabytes of files to compare, that would not work with byte by byte) [12:02] what can I use for that ? [12:02] i tried a lot of ways to install it but it seems it got me [12:02] ok mgolisch, are you saying i cant? [12:03] so if u hav ne ideas to give me den plz u r welcome [12:03] I tried mc (it only compares the active directory, and does not dive into structure) [12:03] i'm looking at ready to install->advanced and it says Device for bootloader isnstallation: (hd0) [12:03] neither gnome commander does the job, [12:03] stothepizzle: and you cant change that? [12:03] mgolisch i can [12:03] i want to know what to change it to [12:04] making md5summs of each dir is to complicated [12:04] if there is no button or something id try to just skip that part and do the grub install manualy [12:04] xd_: there should be like md5deep command afair [12:04] mgolisch i can change (hdo) to anything [12:04] p md5deep - enhanced message digest calculator [12:04] i need create global variables on py web pages so for search can send me a person simple codes? [12:04] should i change it to /dev/mmcblk0? [12:05] xd_: what if you just ran a diff against the listing of the directories? [12:05] LimCore, but I need to do a Md5 diff than. This takes ages on something like 10GB [12:05] so again everyone just thinkin or shuttin [12:05] stothepizzle: no not neccerarily, hd0 in grub means the first bios disks, if that mmcblk0 thing is that its ok [12:06] ok, so how do i find the (hdX) of my mmc card? [12:06] how do I change GDM's resolution? my grub, usplash, and gnome session screens are correct except for my gdm screen [12:06] xd_: diff ? [12:06] stothepizzle: it'll be /dev/sd [12:06] gordonjcp it isn't [12:06] ushimitsudoki, thats what I tried, but the usual command I use takes to long. I just want a rough compare. There is no MD5 Compare necessary. I just want to know if a file is missing, or has another timestamp [12:06] its /dev/mmblk0 [12:06] stothepizzle: at a console type "dmesg", plug the card in, and type "dmesg" again [12:07] stothepizzle: see what changes [12:07] erUSUL, yes , but Diff is not something fast, and comes out with a lot of unneccessary things [12:07] stothepizzle: easiest way is to call the grub binary and try something like setup (hd[tab] and see how grub expands that [12:07] it will list the partitions and its types [12:07] xd_ strange. because i would expect ls on two directories and diff to be very quick (i have done this on directories with 25K+ files) [12:07] I want to have a list of the files which are different. I have to do a lot of those operations. Using diff would take hours [12:08] iam quiet sure you can determine which disk is which by that [12:08] stothepizzle if u install linux partition alone u need add another system in your boot screen manualy be cause not write MBR registry your other system key === julle__ is now known as julle_ [12:09] ushimitsudoki, hmm. Ok you mean ls command. hmm this could work, but still is a lot to type. Looking for something where I can point to, and not type everything. i have to do this on different disks and structures [12:10] maybe some synchronizing utility or so, which gives out different files, and shows in which folders there are differences [12:12] bazhang: how can i reinstall hardy from cd. i am using hardy! [12:12] zubu is this a dual boot or only ubuntu [12:13] zubu: reboot with it, do a fresh or repair install [12:13] bazhang: i am using hardy! from hard disk .i have a hardy beta CD! [12:14] zubu: why that? [12:14] zubu the beta? you should get the final cd [12:14] hi all is packages.ubuntu.com down for you too?

[12:15] ...via the console i can't see the windows pc's by hostname [12:15] bazhang: not to mention the low graphics mode problem [12:15] zubu do you a slow internet connection? if not you should get the final [12:16] hello everyone [12:16] so if i go: 'ping windowspc' it tells me the host is not found, but i can access it via smb://windowspc/ [12:16] everone still busy with other peoples problems? or does someone have time for me to ask some questions about networking [12:16] !ask [12:16] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[12:17] pestkam: firewalls are not the case [12:17] Guillaum3: yeah it sounds like something is filtering icmp packets...either your router or windows fw (most likely) [12:18] dougsko: we have another ubuntu machine which is able to see these hostnames like such on the same network [12:18] i can't seem to get networking to work [12:18] Guillaum3: you windows domain? [12:18] Guillaum3: well then its not your router [12:18] bazhang:i have descent speed. but i am not in the mood to download it.what would you suggest? after all that low gaphics problem i was considering downgrading to Gusty since it was working fine!(it even used to show the nvidia wallpaper at startup) [12:18] Guillaum3: you can nmap -P0 -p135 to check if its up [12:18] Guillaum3: Are you use windows domain? [12:18] rgs80074, this is wireless? what chipset [12:19] i have internet access but i can't access the other pc's on the network [12:19] hey [12:19] pestkam: i do not havea 'domain' field enetered [12:19] bazhang: but my frend had this beta cd. soo i thought i would try hardy again!! [12:19] in the tools it says some error when i try to configure my network card [12:19] how much HD space does ubuntu take once installed ? [12:19] Guillaum3,pestkam : the problem is samba does name resolution using netbios, one of the samba/windows hosts is the master browser, it holds a list of all smb servers their name and ips the name entered in naitulus is resolved using the masterbrowser pc or using boradcast request, but ping uses dns so it will only work if the hosts are added to the local hosts file or a localdns server is setup [12:19] hi everyone how is everything [12:19] rgs80074, the other pc's are windows or linux [12:20] i am using the new version of ubuntu that i just donwloaded and is allowing me to dual boot [12:20] Guillaum3: try just mounting the share with mount: mount //host/share /mountpoint -o username=,password= [12:20] for now they are all windows pc's [12:20] zubu, well going that route you will a ton of updates [12:20] fi this goes well though i might change them too [12:20] mgolisch: thanks for your input [12:20] rgs80074, you should consider samba then [12:20] how do i auto reconfigure the x serve?

[12:22] i had a file i edited once. i switched the words "DNS" and something else around [12:22] is there any way i can find a good book for ubuntu? or any documentations? thanks [12:22] gnomefreak: that doesn't detect my vid card drivers [12:22] thanks, i'll have to write/save this and reboot to ubuntu later [12:22] hwdyki: you asked how to reconfigure it and yes it does [12:23] hwdyki: now lets try with what are you trying to do [12:23] is http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper-backports/ down? [12:23] please someone. My kernel modul for sound is loaded. How do I know? Ive tryed lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0 and the output is http://pastebin.ca/1022640 i've installed alsa-base and alsa-oss but I still can't hear any sound from headphones. (headphones are working - double cheked) Any ideas why I can't get any sound ? [12:23] also i used the version that starst the installation inside of windows, is there a way to increase the default size of the installation folder? i stuck with the default of 15gigs [12:23] McNult1: packages.ubuntu.com is down right now [12:23] setup drivers for my card. [12:23] hwdyki: hardy? [12:23] yes [12:23] hwdyki: what card? [12:23] rgs80074, ah wubi; then that is a different story [12:23] damn - oh well [12:23] GeForce FX 5200 [12:23] no sound in alien arena or open arena can someone help [12:24] bazhang: no none at all. in the beginning it just downlaoded the graphic driver on its own and then evrything was fine.it even used to show the nvidia wallpaper before the login screen.!! [12:24] hwdyki: go to system > administration > hardware drivers [12:24] zubu, then you may want to stick with gutsy if that worked best for you; I have seen the troubles you have had with hardy the last two days [12:25] gnomefreak: i don't have a gui. [12:25] hwdyki: that is easiest way, other wise you install nvidia-glx-new and change the drivers by editing the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file by hand [12:25] hwdyki: you can use safe mode [12:25] samba with wubi? is that possible? [12:25] hmmz, any one? ;) [12:25] bazhang, i dont see why not. [12:26] thanks Dr_willis :) [12:26] mgolisch: how do i check if a localdns server is up, can i specify him myself? [12:26] wubi? whats that? [12:26] bazhang, once wubi boots the linux system. its using all the other hardware - its just running from some sort of filesystem in a file. I thought [12:26] bazhang: yeah thanks a lot for being there.i had been a bit sluggish in the beginning.copyin entire lines of code and all that.... [12:26] hwdyki: hardy should throw you in a crappy GUI if your card isnt configured since everyone should get a GUI after install. if you edit the file by hand remember to make a backup before changing anything [12:26] !wubi [12:26] Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows users that allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu like a Windows application, in a simple and safe way. http://wubi-installer.org/support.php for troubleshooting. Please file bugs at http://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug. [12:26] Guillaum3: that depends or your network [12:26] bazhang: so how can i downgrade!! [12:26] mgolisch: what if the router is the localdns? [12:26] zubu, why not stick with gutsy for now [12:27] mgolisch: then dhcp should handle all of that [12:27] zubu you need to get gutsy install disk and reinstall [12:27] Air_F: https://help.ubuntu.com/ has some good general documentation. I don't learn well from books, so I don't know of any good ones. [12:27] hwdyki: if you isntall the drivers i said you should than beable to use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and change the driver to nvidia and you should than have gui\ [12:27] how to cups remote ??? [12:27] bazhang yeah i have that! thans to shipit [12:27] anyone have trouble with gnome and microphones ? [12:27] pentagon: thanks. lemme have a look. [12:27] zubu, and if you have any issues you can come here and ask :) [12:28] bazhang: thanks a lot! you guys a very helpful! [12:28] i have the nvidia drivers. [12:28] zubu :) [12:29] ***dont forget if u have amd proccessor (64bit) ur driver cant read kernel name and versiyon 1st open kernel name later install driver [12:29] Air_F: wiki.ubuntu.com is good community docs. The Official Ubuntu Book is a good book [12:29] Air_F, ubuntuguide.org is good; as far as books (ie paperback) there is one or two really good ones [12:29] gnomefreak: is the official book Free? [12:29] i prefer linux cbt's [12:29] can anyone tell me if switching to a KDE desktop is going to mess up my compiz and other settings ? [12:29] hwdyki: than you nee dto set it up in xorg.conf file either with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or by hand [12:29] dougsko: no [12:29] bahang: so how can i downgrade to gusty! reboot> insert the cd.? [12:30] zubu right [12:30] hello all someone in who uses virtual box 1.6. in ubuntu? [12:30] All i'm asking here is a little tip... so I could know what else to try and test why I can't get any sound. please [12:30] zubu: you need to reinstall for gutsy as downgrading will cause many issues [12:30] bazhang: :) good site too [12:30] phimic, what is the issue [12:30] s/will/can [12:30] Air_F, :) [12:30] gnomefreak: thats too bad...ubuntu needs a handbook as complete and available as freebsd's [12:30] zubu use adept manager and go full upgrade [12:30] vmware server is better thank virtual box [12:30] in my opinion [12:30] thansks for the help everyone [12:30] bazhang: i cannot compile it with fakeroot debian/rules binary [12:30] hi i just downloaded 8.04 and when i was trying to install, the partitioner gave me an error that it cant resize my partition or something like that, any ideas? i was trying to split the partition to keep few gigs as swap and the rest as / [12:31] in a bit i'll reboot to linux adn see if i can get it to work [12:31] i get the error http://pastebin.com/mb569266 [12:31] phimic, what are you trying to compile [12:31] I am a chinese student ,I am English is poor. I need a fraind to help me study English ,and I can use chinese talk whit him. [12:31] i just foudn ti odd that i had internet access just not access to the toher pc's on the network, my issue with fedora a while ago was with no access period [12:31] thanks for the help :). see you soon guys. [12:32] phimic: you should really be asking that in a differnet channel but it looks like you are missing depends [12:32] zhengjia, there may be sites for that but this is ubuntu OS support [12:32] bazhang: virtual box 1.6 [12:32] phimic why use fakeeroot ? [12:32] zhengjia: come over to #ubuntu-offtopic and chat with us [12:32] gnomefreak: i already asked in #vbox [12:32] phimic: we dont really support building of apps in this channel due to the amount of users in here [12:32] phimic, why that version? you can get in repos or the package from their site [12:32] phimic: try #ubuntu-offtopic [12:32] phimic: what're you having issues with, specifically? [12:32] hey, I'm trying to make a share in samba that people can write to but cannot delete files. I don't know where to begin... any idea? [12:32] faileas: hes missing a dep ion building an app [12:33] most likely its libstdc++6 or 5 -dev package [12:33] depending on what the app needs [12:33] immesys this file not your u cant delete first take this file [12:34] since i am here [12:34] nadrosima: sorry? [12:34] anyone know where i can find good sidebar gadgets for ubuntu [12:34] chmod change owner! [12:34] or widgets, screenlets or whatever they are called [12:34] phimic: install either libstdc++-dev or libstdc++6-dev and you should be good. whenever you get an error like that, you usually need the "dev" package of what it errored out on to make it work [12:34] nadrosima: but if the files are created by samba guest, then all clients are the same owner... [12:35] nadrosima: aah, you mean make samba change it to a different owner on write? [12:35] it needs a 5 or 6 there isnt one with just ++ [12:35] dougsko: thank i will try [12:35] are u not guest this is guest file so user file only a security [12:35] rgs80074, 'desklets' 'gdesklets' 'opera has some also' - and proberly a dozen other ways to get differnt widgets. [12:35] what is come over ? [12:35] gnomefreak: yeah i guess thats dummy pkg [12:36] Hey guys, am I allowed to ask for help here? :P [12:36] dougsko: it is [12:36] nadrosima: I'll try that, thanks [12:36] sam_: So long as its Ubuntu related, sure. [12:36] zhengjia: "come over" means "visit" or "go to" [12:36] sam_: sure, if its about ubuntu ;) [12:36] dougsko: firefox depends on it and i forget it sometimes so i know the error well [12:36] hi to everyone [12:36] zhengjia: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [12:36] phimic: you get the point though right? [12:36] sam_: no you arn't, but you'll ask anyway ;p [12:36] rgs80074: also screenlets is in repos [12:36] gnomefreak: haha good ol' ff [12:36] hehehe, Thanks guys ;) [12:36] dougsko: oh yeah ;) [12:37] is someone able to know why i cant put any letters in the wow account on wine [12:37] * gnomefreak goes back to work [12:37] repos, is there a lot of those, i read somewhere about adding multiverse and universe [12:37] ok, so, I just installed wine, and the performance is pretty bad (10fps looking at a wall in CSS), so I'm thinking of running wine on its on Xserver, but there really arent any guides that teach noobs how to do it ;) [12:37] but it hink those already are in the list of repos for the installation [12:37] it freezes [12:37] !universe | rgs80074 [12:37] rgs80074: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [12:37] ok now to work [12:37] thomas_: Probably best to ask that in #winehq, we dont really support issues with running applications in Wine, only getting Wine installed :) [12:37] ahh ok :P [12:37] thanks ;) [12:37] dougsko: yes i installed both but still no luck [12:38] phimic: you get a different error this time? [12:38] how do i get there [12:38] I'm installing Ubuntu, but whenever X starts, the display's massively corrupt (looks like a piece of old ANSI art). I'm installing on my laptop with a broken LCD, so I've got an external LCD hooked up. Is this the issue? Display works fine until X starts. === SO_SWEET is now known as Zi [12:38] i am new [12:38] dougsko: the same [12:38] thomas_: there's basic instructions on setting up WoW under Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [12:38] thomas_: type:/join #winehq [12:38] ok [12:38] phimic: is this package in our repos? [12:38] thanks [12:38] hi i just downloaded 8.04 and when i was trying to install, the partitioner gave me an error that it cant resize my partition or something like that, any ideas? i was trying to split the partition to keep few gigs as swap and the rest as / [12:38] also, once it does start, I have limited use of the command line. Specifically, the terminal doesn't scroll up to accomodate text. Typing "clear" doesn't do anything. I also don't seem to be able to navigate a file using vim or nano. [12:38] type:/join #winehq [12:39] garrett__:holt shift and press pgup [12:39] gnomefreak: no i try to build it with fakeroot debian/rules binary [12:39] phimic: we have vnc in repos so just sudo apt-get build-deps vnc [12:39] phimic: there is a fakeroot package too [12:39] that should pull all deps in or look in control file for the deps [12:39] gnomefreak: vbox 1.6? [12:39] zChris: it's more like.. once text scrolls down, I can't get the cursor back. Also, the blinking cursor position marker never leaves the top left corner of the screen--so something's mucked with the termcap, I think. [12:40] phimic: if you have a debian/rules file you will have a debian/control file with the list of build-deps [12:40] garrett__: tried changing tty with alt fx ? [12:40] zChris: typing "clear" doesn't do anything, but sometimes alt+f8 to get back to my corrupt X and then flipping back to the console restores it [12:40] zChris: but then it works until text scrolls to the bottom of the screen. [12:41] hi all....im running ubuntu on vmware and i can browse internet. ip of my ubuntu is 192.168.1.151 and of windows host is 192.168.1.123. When i try to connect to ubuntu on vmware using putty i get error message "network error: connection refused". what sort of settings/configurations i need to fix this thing? [12:41] zChris: also, i it's impossible to use vim/nano to edit my xconf to continue with the install process. [12:41] garrett__:why ? [12:41] phimic: most of time a point release doesnt change build-deps much. best place to ask this would be in #ubuntu-motu [12:41] phimic: you might want to just try installing some of the other libstdc++ dev packages. its just looking for a specific version. one of the ones available should be right [12:41] garrett__, i recall the 'reset' command in the console at times helped me. - sounds like a framebuffer issue? disable the framebuffer perhaps? [12:41] dougsko: ok thanks i will try [12:41] zChris: because it seems like the tty keeps losing input. [12:42] phimic: there are alot of modulesfor it [12:42] zChris: i.e: i'll type esc and :q to quit vim, but it doesn't do anything. [12:42] garrett__: did you try changing tty as i suggested? [12:42] KazaLite, lets cover the basics.. You did install the ssh server under ubuntu? [12:42] kazalite open first port if u connect with ur linux look servive port maybe closed [12:42] zChris: if I switch tty's, then it'll work until the screen fills again. [12:42] How can I resize my login screen, i cant see all the buttons as the resolution seems to be at the wrong setting. [12:42] zChris: yeah, i did. i have to switch back into X then back to a tty [12:42] phimic: i have 0.1.9.4 from repos [12:42] zChris: the point is, it's impossible to edit any files to continue on with the install process. [12:42] !info vbox3 hardy [12:42] vbox3 (source: vbox3): voice response system for isdn4linux. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.1.9.4 (hardy), package size 34 kB, installed size 228 kB [12:42] garrett__: weird, tried killing x? [12:43] and same for hardy [12:43] zChris: yeah [12:43] Dr_willis: no:(.....what other packages i may need to install? [12:43] garrett__: one thing you can try is to install ssh and edit them from another comp [12:43] phimic: save you some headaches if you just install it since its newer than 1.6 [12:43] zChris: it goes from ANSI-looking color blocks to a pale blue with black lines--looks about 640x480 [12:43] * gnomefreak back to work for real this time [12:43] KazaLite, look for the ssh server in the repos. Ubuntu dosent install any services by default normally. Depemnds on what you want to do. [12:43] KazaLite: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [12:43] thanks guys again, hopefully if things go right hwen i get back on i'll report i have network access [12:43] later [12:43] how would i download a file from a link from the command prompt [12:43] zChris: i could do that, unfortunately I've got a 4318 chipset on my network card, so i can't do that :P [12:43] <^TaRaKsIaS> hey y'all [12:44] Amanda18, wget command is handy [12:44] garrett__: thats not supported? [12:44] Amanda18: wget linkGoesHere [12:44] Dr_willis: is there a dir where it downloads it to? [12:44] garrett__: dont you have ethernet? [12:44] wget http://................ download /home/userdir/ [12:44] zChris: not natively. i've got the drivers on a partition for it, but I don't think i can get it loaded up entirely. [12:44] Amanda18, whever you tell it to. :) linux works that way a lot... [12:44] zChris: i do, but the router's in my neighbor's apartment ;P [12:45] bazhang: can you come on the offtopic channel [12:45] Amanda18: if you don't specify one, it downloads it to whichever directory you're in [12:45] zChris: and my router won't do bridging mode [12:45] ohhh [12:45] garrett__: but the computer you are on now? is that one in the same room as your lappy? [12:45] zChris: i'm on my laptop, booted into windows. [12:45] Dr_willis: !!! wassup [12:45] zChris: haven't been able to continue with the install process [12:45] Assid, Gas prices are up. :) [12:45] garrett__: so you dont have 2 comps ? [12:46] sweet.. so you changed to 2 horse power yet ? [12:46] I'm trying to determine if it's failing due to someting goofy in the 8.04 configuration for the geforce440go, or if it's because i'm using an external lcd panel (the CLF inverter in my laptop's display flaked out) [12:46] zChris: unfortunately, on. [12:46] Assid, I drive 10 mile a day to/from work. :) i could use a moped. [12:46] cool...... ssh-server installed:D now whats the next task? [12:46] zChris: unfortunately, no. i gave my desktop to a friend awhile ago. [12:46] you should [12:46] Does Ubuntu have a tool that will allow me to *safely* resize an ex3 partition to create a new 10gb partition on the disk? [12:46] or even a baby ninja [12:46] KazaLite, err.. connect with the ssh client you like. :) [12:46] garrett__: hmm, so the problem appears only when the tty gets filed ? [12:46] zChris: yeah [12:46] KazaLite: it starts the server automatically when you install it and on subsequent restarts [12:47] Dr_willis, Assid: -offtopic if you're going to continue the chatting, please ;) [12:47] garrett__: and this monitor is a external one? [12:47] Pici: ! hows you [12:47] wooohooooo............i works:D.....love you guys.....GOD bless you ppl:) [12:47] hrmm.. people dont remember me [12:47] KazaLite: if you need to configure it, the config file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config [12:47] Pici, :) What if my Moped runs Linux! :) heh. [12:47] hahaha [12:47] zChris: the cursor-positioning just seemed really janky. if i type "ls", the, the cursor overwrites the last line of output, if i remember correctly. [12:48] why are my fonts so clunky with ff3? [12:48] zChris: yea, i'm using the external one now--works fine in windows, and it works fine up until X starts. [12:48] zChris: it's just some dell 17" panel [12:48] garrett__: well i cant really help ya since its too weird problem ;) [12:48] zChris: but i doubt its a modeline issue, as the panel would just shutoff if it was out of range or someting [12:48] garrett__: try another live cd without x and see if the problem persists [12:48] zChris: indeed ;P [12:48] cool === elkbuntu is now known as elky [12:49] What program will be called when I click on System > Quit > Hibernate? [12:49] i dunno but my hibernate option is rly broken [12:49] i always wondered about that [12:50] Anyone? Safely resizing partitions? [12:50] gparted === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [12:50] chmac: that was to you [12:50] also weird cant install on an existing xp box [12:50] koro: Thanks :) Will gparted shift the data down the disk? [12:50] what is the medibuntu "keyring" ? [12:51] chmac: yes [12:51] koro: Ok, sweet, I didn't think it did that, thank :) [12:51] and how do i find out whether i run Feisty, Gutsy or Hardy? [12:51] can't remember [12:51] sybariten: lsb_release -a on a terminal [12:51] Look at the logo on boot up? :) [12:51] or was it in the MOTD? [12:51] chmac: it even resizes widnows partitions safely :) [12:51] Pici: merci [12:52] koro: Ahh, times have changed :) [12:53] sybariten, the keyring is what you need to import (gpg) to ensure security of that repo [12:53] bazhang: so is there some kind of encryption involved somewhere= [12:53] ? [12:54] sybariten, well there is a check on that keyring but all you do is copy and paste the command into terminal from the medibuntu site [12:54] Can i use my old laptop as a second screen for my first laptop with Ubuntu ? [12:54] Like MaxiVista does for Windoze computers [12:55] what is SCIM package?/ [12:55] stelt sounds interesting though never heard of it; have you checked ubuntuforums [12:55] stelt: can't think of a way that would allow windows being dragged over to the other screen [12:55] msshams, allows for east asian input of languages [12:55] msshams: Pretty sure that's used for Eastern fonts [12:55] weird fonts on ff3, anyone [12:55] ?? [12:56] bazhang: okay... have to ask something else too, regarding medibuntu === neuro|ir2si is now known as neuro_ [12:56] sybariten, what is it? [12:56] peterretief: what do you mean by weird, exactly? [12:56] rpj8: it must running? [12:56] hey all, trying to install rails, why doesnt sudo gem install rails -v 1.2.3 --include-dependencies work???? === wong1 is now known as wong1_wongy [12:56] msshams: I've never used it myself. [12:56] about this command: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list ...what does it do? i have only worked with sources.list before, whats the point of a subdir called sources.list.d ? [12:56] Does Ubuntu auto-mount usb disks? [12:56] chmac: yes [12:57] msshams: are you planning on doing stuff with east asian languages? if so, yes. otherwise, probably not [12:57] rpj8: how can i disable it? [12:57] msshams: http://www.google.com/search?q=disable+scim+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a [12:57] pentagon: well i can hardly read the links for one [12:58] suppose you want to remaster jeos-8.04 cd (custom kernel patches + some extra packages from hardy), how can you check if all .deb's in the pools on the CD are self-contained so that they don't need external dependencies (eg via http mirror) ? [12:58] ubuntu wont let me blacklist e100 and let eepro100 load at boot time, i can sudo rmmod e100 and sudomodprobe eepro100 once the systewm has booted , so i was wondering would i be able to write a script to kill e100 and load the eepro100 module at boottime? [12:59] koshari: add e100 to the blacklist [12:59] !uck | ub4b [12:59] ub4b: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [12:59] bazhang: see above ... i understand that its a wget with output file... [12:59] rpj8 i did that but on lsmod it still loaded [12:59] sybariten, sorry missed it [12:59] can't get php5 installed in my apache2 ? [12:59] koshari: You must not have blacklisted correctly. [13:00] hey all, trying to install rails, why doesnt sudo gem install rails -v 1.2.3 --include-dependencies work???? [13:00] i need some help with ssh keys [13:00] i'm doing this [13:00] blackwing:~# ssh-agent [13:00] SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-ZYiZDw2893/agent.2893; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK; [13:00] SSH_AGENT_PID=2894; export SSH_AGENT_PID; [13:00] echo Agent pid 2894; [13:00] koshari: How exactly did you blacklist the module [13:00] blackwing:~# ssh-add [13:00] Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [13:00] well other than palcing the line "blacklist e100" in the blacklist i dont know what else to do, that worked in edgy but isnt working in hardy [13:00] voodoo: use pastebin for long lines. [13:00] sybariten: easier to add, maintain and remove entries if they're bundled in separate files. [13:01] oi [13:01] oi pessoal [13:01] td bem???

[13:16] bazhang: see http://pastebin.com/d5b2b31d4 [13:16] wgrant thanks again [13:16] dejx: np [13:17] tobydeh: What's the problem? [13:17] tobydeh, you want to merge a mounted partition? [13:17] tobydeh: That all looks fine. [13:17] Please, let me know an ubuntu-TV-program? [13:17] no, im runing out of space on /var [13:17] tobydeh: you certainly cannot modify a partition without unmounting it [13:17] thats where all mysql data is and all apache lgos are [13:18] i dont want all the partitions i want to merge evertyihg into sda1 [13:18] tobydeh: and it's very dangerous to modify partitions on a hard drive with any mounted partitions [13:18] tobydeh: 33% full == running out? [13:18] tobydeh, which is root [13:18] it wont take long [13:18] would you recommend funpidgin over pidgin? why? [13:18] tobydeh: You won't be able to easily do that without taking everything offline. [13:18] !tv > rt_ (Please see the private messsage from ubottu) [13:18] tobydeh: How did it ever survive before, then? [13:18] i paid for 400 gigs i want them!! i only have 4 [13:18] it only had one partition [13:18] wellroot and swap [13:18] Um, upgrades don't repartition your system. [13:18] :( [13:19] anyone here know about Evergreen OpenILS? [13:19] wgrant: hw can i assgn more room to /var [13:19] Stareagle: I poked at it a bit a couple of years ago. What do you want to know? [13:19] tobydeh: symlinks? [13:19] tobydeh: By repartitioning your system offline, ideally. [13:20] But if you really have to, symlinks would work. [13:20] its assigned all of the space to /home which i dont use [13:20] http://www.open-ils.org/downloads.php Stareagle [13:20] tobydeh: `it'? [13:20] i cant take it offline id loose my job [13:20] I have a problem with my USB mouse. When I left click once, it seems that 2 left click events are sent one after another. This doesn't happen with the right-click button. [13:20] i am getting could not initalise/open audio device > no sound ushimitsudoki [13:20] Stareagle, those are vmware prebuilt appliances for that [13:20] wgrant: I have attemppted an install 4 times now and keep failing at thepoint of running the cgi scripts. I have two main problems, could you help? [13:21] tobydeh, you will loose your job if it goes down [13:21] Stareagle: I don't remember much about the installation at all - you'd probably be better off asking the OpenILS people. [13:21] I'm interested in understanding what the "Preparing restricted drivers" phase of bootup that invokes /bin/ld_static actually does and why it's required, can anyone point me to something to read that mentions this? [13:21] How can I show Television at pc with ubuntu? [13:22] Stareagle, just load the appliance I linked you to [13:22] tobydeh: if you lose your job if the computer stops working, you need to get some backup pronto [13:22] maxb: ubuntu links the restricted driver kernel modules at boot using the unlinked code in /lib/linux-restricted-modules [13:22] jaffarkelshac: hmm all i can say is that the tutorial there worked for me. I also note that is mentions some rmvb can not be played, and that in some cases you have to manually change the driver selection in mplayer [13:23] http://www.linuxtv.org/ rt [13:23] tobydeh: So you upgraded a mission-critical server, which then spontaneously repartitioned itself? [13:23] maxb: putting the linked .ko kernel modules in /lib/modules/linux-VERSION/volatile [13:23] i have the data backed up, but i cant afford for it to go offline again, i had it offline to go from debain to ubuntu [13:23] ushimitsudoki: no worries i run xp on virtual box for the things that do not work on ubuntu, i will use that instead ushimitsudoki [13:23] tobydeh: I thought you said you upgraded from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS to 8.04. [13:24] crdlb: I'm a little confused what it's linking to, though, since the ld invocation doesn't list anything but the module's own .o files, as far as I can see [13:24] wgrant: it was debian i used a 1and1 reinstall image to go to ubuntu 6.06 which must have made the partitions then i upgraded [13:24] Does anyone know where to find pidigd plugins? [13:24] bazhang: I'll try that. got to get vmware going first though :-) [13:24] Jokka: tried on pidgins homepage? [13:24] tobydeh: If one wants a server with appropriate partitions, one shouldn't use a prepared image with completely wrong partition sizes.... [13:25] Stareagle, enable canonical partner repos and sudo apt-get install :) [13:25] zChris, yeah but didnt udnerstnad much ^^ [13:25] its a 1and1 disk image how was i to know the partitions were stooopid? [13:25] i just click the "install ubuntu" button [13:26] Jokka, there's some pidgin plugins in the ubuntu repos. [13:26] bazhang: enable cononical? Sorry I'm still a bit green. I just ditched winXP and am starting from scratch!! [13:26] "Not what you wanted" does not equal "stupid" [13:26] Stareagle: System->Preferences->Software Sources [13:26] !info pidgin-plugin-pack | Jokka [13:26] jokka: pidgin-plugin-pack (source: purple-plugin-pack): 30 useful plugins for pidgin. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.0-1 (hardy), package size 159 kB, installed size 624 kB [13:26] wgrant: Sorry, not Preferences, Administration. [13:27] Stareagle, open up software sources and enable the software repos (software repositories) then refresh and look for vmware-server :) [13:27] heh [13:27] I've installed nautilus but when I click on a .cxx or .txt file I don't have any editor installed. What is default editor ? [13:27] What program will be called when I click on System > Quit > Hibernate? [13:27] * polz has just found the source of his problems [13:27] ok, so earlier my computer froze and i had to turn off the power and restart, now some of my applications will not start, is there anyway i can reinstall them or is there another way to fix this? [13:27] frojnd: /usr/bin/gedit on Ubuntu. [13:27] ArrowLance, try from the terminal and pastebin any errors [13:27] wgrant any ideas? [13:27] ArrowLance: Do you get any errors? [13:28] thx all [13:28] Hi folks [13:28] wgrant: thanx [13:28] tobydeh: Sorry, but you should have checked this before you cut over a mission-critical system... [13:28] the entry grub's menu.lst, created after the upgrade, didn't contain an initrd image [13:28] how do you get the kernel version? [13:28] bazhang: Thanks, do I do an apt-get install? [13:28] ImportError: No module named gtk [13:28] uname just tells me "Linux" [13:28] thanks for not helping [13:28] MrNaz: uname -a [13:29] lsb_release [13:29] Stareagle, aye, though with sudo :) [13:29] tobydeh: It's not an easy thing to fix online. Or without reinstalling. [13:29] uname -r [13:29] it worked before, but now it says a module is missing [13:30] small question, I'm trying to install adobe flash player but when asked "Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, [13:30] or Opera browser (i.e., /usr/lib/mozilla):" I have no idea what the path is... [13:30] Mmmmm!! apt-get couldn't find a vmware-server package!! [13:30] Does xubuntu have the live cd option? [13:30] ArrowLance: Please paste the actual error message if it is just one line, otherwise pastebin it. [13:30] Agnostic, aye [13:30] bazhang, thanks. [13:31] ironeyex: Install the flashplugin-nonfree package. Don't use the download on adobe.com [13:31] ironeyex: can't you just apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree ? [13:31] maxb: it's linking them together into a single file; apparently it's a legal thing [13:31] I'm trying to connect to my notebook with my phone via bluetooth. Using bluez on the machine, my phone sees it and I get prompted for a passkey, I enter the one set in hcid.config and it shows "connecting..." then fails, with "Unable to connect to [machinename], Try again?", as if it is timing out. Anyone know how I can get this to work? [13:31] how do i find that? [13:31] ironeyex: Or go to any Flash-using site except YouTube, and Firefox will tell you what to do. [13:31] Hi all! [13:31] ironeyex: Otherwise, System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager, and find flashplugin-nonfree. [13:31] Is it possible to run the importer that was available during install after I've installed? I want to grab my Evolution data from Fedora 8 on a different partition... [13:32] ok i will try that Thanks guys [13:32] wgrant: http://pastebin.com/d5965237d [13:32] chmac: I don't believe so. [13:32] bazhang: Mmmmm!! apt-get couldn't find a vmware-server package!!

[13:33] ub4b, oh that is bad [13:33] it says it already installed [13:33] Stareagle: You need to find the Canonical, commercial or partner repository. It might be under the `Third-Party Software' tab. [13:33] ArrowLance: Which applications aren't working? [13:33] Browsing is a bit slow and it hungs up when accessing a webpage with many images (e.g. a search on images.google.com) [13:33] ub4b: That's right, it's not a live CD.

Enable multiverse.

[14:36] \_corky\_: be my guesst :P [14:36] ironeye - what do you mean? [14:36] <\_corky\_> frojnd's calender in evolution doesn't work on one PC, but it does on another, how can he check version numbers, and or enable that function [14:36] <\_corky\_> am i correct frojnd ? [14:36] Tpohat- I mean I dont understand when it says about adding lines [14:37] \_corky\_: almost, I'm just trying to set up my gmail for evolution, and for server type there isn't any SMTP option.. [14:38] frojnd: SMTP is for sending mail [14:38] ironeye - simple. open up your good ol terminal. Applications > Accessories. then type in the sudo gedit command. and copy and paste the two lines into the sources list at the very bottom. [14:38] <\_corky\_> frojnd, can you wait a second, dont leave #linux because i am going to boot ubuntu 8.04! [14:38] \_corky\_: I won't [14:38] <\_corky\_> ok, brb! [14:39] Vlet: yes I also wannt to send mails via evolution [14:39] komputes: libdvdread loads libdvdcss when available (decrypting library) and decrypts the dvd no matter the region, the question is if you want to break DMCA by using decss [14:39] i just want to install a printer thats on a network from a windows machine. thats shared and i just want to know how to do it....blah >< [14:40] i'm so glad living in europe and not having to obey the DMCA :D [14:40] ironkey - feel free to IM me if you need more help. [14:40] frojnd: that's fine, but when you configure evolution, you need to first configure how you want to RECEIVE email [14:40] Tophat: the printer gui in System -> Admin doesn't do it for you? [14:41] Vlet: correct this is my first time running evolution [14:41] the ubuntu gui installer crashed [14:41] how do i start the text based installer? [14:41] e4rth: boot from the alternative cd [14:41] Vlet: http://www.debianadmin.com/configure-gmail-in-evolution-thunderbird-or-kmail.html and it's just like here [14:41] is there any way of doing this [14:41] without downloading another cd?

[14:42] Hello :) I'm having some problems with the nvidia drivers. I can't seem to set twinview up correctly.

[14:42] adam7: huh? [14:42] Vlet: What should I choose for receiveing mails ? [14:42] frojnd: well, it looks like they skipped a step; see the title of the second picture: "sending email" [14:42] adam7 - nope. i can't find the printer. and if i type in the IP address of the machine its connected to, it doesn't find it or anything.... :( [14:42] I have two Hardy installations one on my desktop and one on my laptop. I use evolution to check mail on the exchange server. Although the config of the two clients seems to be the same the one on my laptop doesn't offer me to save calendar invitation to my callendar, but instead show a nicely formatted version of the invitation. Any ideas what the problem can be? [14:42] frojnd: pop [14:42] e4rth: run the installer again and see if it works better the second time [14:42] frojnd: use a mail client to connect to your ISP's mail server [14:43] I want to install software by wine,should i put all dll files required into system32 folder? [14:43] The desktop seems to have evolution version 1.2.1 while the laptop has 1.2.1.1 [14:43] ive tried 3 times [14:43] Tophat: hm. I've had very good luck with that printer gui thingy [14:43] its crashed each time [14:43] GMAIL has a wonderful evolution tutorial on the website if you login click setting and prefrences and enable pop and it has a guide there for you. [14:43] e4rth: where does it crash? [14:43] wonderful that something as simple as that [14:43] Hello :) I'm having some problems with the nvidia drivers. I can't seem to set twinview up correctly. Problem: I choose my second monitor and enables it as twinview, then it fires up and everything is nice. When I reboot tho, both monitors light up. However, as two seperate X screens. I can't figure out how to make it last so that both screens are in twinview. it resets to seperate x screens when I log in [14:43] and so cricial [14:43] is so buggy -_- [14:43] e4rth: in what way crashing ? [14:43] ikonia: what server type for receiving mails than ? [14:43] frojnd: POP! [14:43] frojnd: you don't need a erver [14:44] frojnd: pop.gmail.com [14:44] adam7 - have you been able to setup a printer onto your ubuntu 8.04 that was physically hooked up to a windows xp box? [14:44] frojnd: you need a mail client to connect to your ISP's remote mail server [14:44]
