Broadcom: I'm not at a shell yet === c is now known as Charitwo [00:00] yeah there are a coupke knocking about === klep is now known as [klep] [00:00] clintchanc1: well, i dont know [00:00] theyre pretty good actually [00:00] Steve-cal: Moduliz0r it seems that a simple &> suffices [00:00] still trying to boot into the liveCD.. I have 4 GB of memory, so being out of memory shouldn't be an issue [00:00] elsteo: qemu-launcher adds a menu entry [00:00] Broadcom, ever hear about anyproblems? [00:00] though Linux will only address 3.2 GB of that I'm sure, since this is 32-bit edition [00:00] Moduliz0r: Yes, all stdin and stderr get thrown into cyberspace: /dev/null :) [00:00] cool [00:01] ICM: It can go up to 3.5GB IIRC [00:01] Anyone know why I cant add desktops in compiz on 8.04? [00:01] hmm, i cant have it hang the shell [00:01] its in rc.local :| [00:01] clintchanc1: nope, not like this, if you find the answer, tell me though [00:01] ill go take a poke [00:01] HEy why wont google desktop open? [00:01] Moduliz0r: Huh? It won't hang the bash shell. [00:01] ah thats cool, thanks [00:02] seaphor: it's not moving at all... [00:02] I may have to give the alternative CD a try, this is very frustrating XD [00:02] it seems that bluetooth implementation of copy multiple files/folders to bluetooth device is not implemented yet! :( === Struggle is now known as Infinito [00:02] 64-bit broke apt-get for me, and 32-bit installer disc won't boot, lol [00:03] ICM, try just a bit more patience before we get to that point ;-) [00:03] <_phoenix_> anyone here [00:03] rc.local only ever gets executed once, right? [00:03] _phoenix_ :no [00:04] seaphor: it's been at this screen for 6 minutes now :-/ [00:04] <_phoenix_> how can i deactivate the graphical effects? [00:04] Moduliz0r: Yes, and be careful what you put in it because everything is run as root. [00:04] ICM, is it responding to num lock/capslock? [00:04] yes [00:04] thats ok, well actually... is it su "commands" -c username to do that? [00:05] SeaPhor: Yep. and I've made sure scrollock isn't activated or anything [00:05] ICM, hit enter and see if there's any change? [00:05] !compiz [00:05] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [00:05] SeaPhor: no change === steven_ is now known as StevenX [00:05] hello? [00:05] I Though Google Desktop was supposed to have a sidebar? I cant seem to find it! [00:05] _phoenix_: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects, click 'none'. [00:05] is it a good idea to run these things as nobody? [00:05] Moduliz0r: "su username -c " [00:06] ok thanks [00:06] so su nobody /my/path/to/ip-update &> /dev/null & [00:06] how 'bout this? If I reinstall ubuntu from the love cd will it destroy the existing data and reinstall ubuntu as default as a more ubuntly challenged alternative to Gparted? [00:06] would that be any good? [00:06] with -c [00:06] i mean ^^ [00:07] How do i get Google Desktop to show Sidebar? [00:07] I am having trouble getting compiz up and running. I installed the compiz manager, but how do I make it "start" [00:07] SeaPhor: I'm kinda lost as to what to do next, this is very odd o.O [00:07] StevenX: Any relationship to stevex? [00:07] StevenX: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects, click 'whichever you like'. [00:08] Jordan_U: Okay, I have a live cd in, which option do i choose? try ubuntu with no changes, install, check cd, test mem, boot from first HD [00:08] how do I change the name of my workgroup? [00:08] ICM, nope. [00:08] firefuzz, thanks [00:08] clintchanc1, I dont think that the google desktop client on ubuntu (linux) has a sidebar or desklets/widgets sreenlets whatever... use screenlets if you have compiz running [00:08] StevenX: Oh, alrighty, sorry :) [00:08] cgentry72: chgrp [00:08] firefuzz: thanks [00:08] clintchanc1, they should be in your add/remove apps [00:08] ICM, i've only had this happen to me once, over 6 months ago on either fiesty or gutsy, someone here had me burn the ISO at slowest speed and that actually got farther cant remember if it completed, but did finish it with the alternate [00:09] hi [00:09] Moduliz0r: If you don't need your script run as root, add it with the "Sessions" program to run on startup. [00:09] Moduliz0r: "Sessions" will run the script under the user who logs in. === Infinito is now known as Infinito_ [00:09] i'm on ubuntu 8 and I need firefox 2 [00:09] SeaPhor: Alright, I'll try downloading the alternative :) [00:09] guillermo_spain, its in the repos [00:09] Steve-cal: its a server [00:09] but it only opens 3.0 and 3.0 don't works with firebug [00:09] guillermo_spain, use synaptic to find firefox 2 [00:09] ICM, and burn it at slowest speed, please [00:09] SeaPhor: Will do! [00:10] the second one needs root anyway, for port 443 [00:10] Paddy_EIRE I know, but I can get working properly and It's quite necessary to me, any hack to downgrade firefox? [00:10] guillermo_spain, no that would be pointless if it where built that way [00:10] SeaPhor: I would've thought that the Alternative CD would've been smaller xD [00:10] in terms of ISO size [00:11] ICM, nope ;-) [00:11] Paddy_EIRE so no solution? [00:11] I'm running kubuntu, but if I exit out of X to the CLI, I can't seem to get back to KDE. startx starts Gnome [00:11] Moduliz0r: OK, yes I think that should work, try it at the command line to make sure you get everything right. [00:11] I'm working on an interesting issue that I don't think is hardware related. I'm running Hardy on two different computers and what happens is this: When I go to Youtube and play , the audio is fine. Then, I can load up either Banshee or Rhythmbox and play , pause the music or even close it out, and go back to Youtube... and the audio is no longer there in Youtube! Anyone have any clue? [00:11] seems all good =] [00:11] guillermo_spain, just simply do what I am telling you and open "Synaptic Package Manager" and run a search on "firefox" then firefox 2 will be installable.. Problem solved. [00:12] sean_: at the login screen, click 'options' and choose kde [00:12] http://img186.imageshack.us/img186/839/55055427mo4.png << can anyone help me to make fix the network connection? [00:12] Moduliz0r: Good deal, hopefully your set to go. [00:12] can anyone tell me how to copy files from the live cd to my cpu? I have made some changes to some files that has caused problems [00:12] firefuzz, that's not working. the program is not running, even though i have selected diff effects already in the manager / config editor [00:12] Steve-cal: thanks [00:12] anybody know how to password protect a directory in apache without using htaccess? [00:12] i know there's some kind of configuration directive...dunno what it is [00:13] timelost, tried asking on the apache irc channel [00:13] ;0 [00:13] firefuzz: I'm not seeing the login screen. If I run startx it logs me into Gnome, if I log out of gnome it takes me back to the command line. [00:13] maybe i need to restart x server? [00:13] Where I can find a list of notebooks with good linux support? Trying to choose notebook. [00:13] CarlC0X-> all you have show is your loopback interface, where is your eth0 or eth1 ? [00:13] StevenX: run synaptic, search 'compiz' and insure it's installed. re-start usually isnt necessary. [00:13] CarlC0X: did you add network adapters when you created the VM? [00:14] ashlayne: Make sure in Banshee/Rhythmbox that if you are using the ALSA sound system, to use "default" as the driver and not your sound card. If you choose your sound card then the programs talk directly to it and prevent other apps from using it. [00:14] firefuzz, it is installed. [00:14] noob question [00:14] how do I deal with this error when using "make": [00:14] fwcutter.c:33:20: error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory [00:15] YixilTesiphon-li: Have you installed build-essential [00:15] Seeker`: no [00:15] firefuzz, I restarted, still nothing. [00:15] ;-( [00:15] what's that [00:15] amenado TTreshoem worked fine last night. then i used apt-get to remove networkmanager. then i installed back networkmanager with apt-get as well... then worked fine... but today... i see this problem === eboyjr is now known as gconftool [00:15] YixilTesiphon-li: If you are trying to install the fwcutter software, why not just do it through Synaptic? It's in the repos. [00:15] YixilTesiphon-li: it installs the packages you need for compiling stuff [00:16] Steve-cal: ok thanks [00:16] steven_: try system, prefs, advanced effects, if it's in the menu. [00:16] CarlC0X-> what is the reason for removing network manager? [00:16] In Hardy Heron, how do I disable DMA as a kernel option? [00:16] hey everyone. i just noticed that when i open gparted it tells me that i have 72 GiB free on my 1.35 TiB partition but df -h tells me that i only have 6.1 G free. can anyone explain the discrepancy? [00:16] hmm, why does this process have like three different entries [00:16] there's su [00:16] then sh [00:17] firefuzz, yes. i see advanced desktop effects settings [00:17] and then /bin/bash as well, why? [00:17] amenado the reason was having some problem while installing pidgin. and an error message said to disable network manager. and didnt work. so i removed it :) [00:17] Steve-cal: Do I go into Preferences > Sound to correct that, or is it a change through the player? [00:18] In Nautilus, I am getting a "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "RecordedCalls"." error, but I can use smbclient just fine - any ideas? [00:18] CarlC0X-> disable is not same as de-installing yes? [00:18] steven_: try using advanced effects and or appearance, sounds like it needs coaxing to work. ps aux |grep compiz [in a xterm] to be sure compiz is running [00:19] amenado, yes i know the difference. but i just gived a try. i just want to start with linux. im a very newbie :) [00:19] talntid: Do you mean accesing files over network through samba? [00:19] try something like ifconfig eth0 up [00:19] Yes [00:19] however, what can i do now to fix this issue? [00:19] firefuzz, it seems like it is running [00:19] or whatever your interface was called earlier [00:19] I'm not getting any search results in Synaptic [00:19] CarlC0X-> then since you are just a newbie and trying to learn things, go ahead and do a couple more of re-installing so you get familiar with the steps [00:19] ashlayne: Well, first go to Preferences > Sound and make sure you are using ALSA, then you need to check the settings of the individual programs to make sure they are using ALSA, and if they have an option to choose the driver, make sure you use "default". [00:19] when i try compiz in a terminal it says that xgl is not present and that it is using metacity [00:20] when you start ubuntu, look closely at the lines and you might find what your ethernet adapter is called [00:20] Also lookup snapshot in Vmware, its useful before you do something that might ruin your setup [00:20] CarlC0X-> more to gain by installing a fresh one, than struggling so hard to recover a botched install [00:20] steven_: that could be your problem, i'd suggest the ubuntu wiki site for xgl issues w/compiz [00:21] k [00:21] is ubuntu based on debian ? [00:21] amenado i have asked a simple question., u can either help or not. no need to be ironic. ... and in order to learn things i dont need to make a fresh install for every little thing. im sure there must be a way around [00:21] can anyone point me to resources for getting usb2.0 to work in hardy? usb 1.1 works fine, but I'm running into bandwidth issues (believe it or not) [00:22] mod_cure: yes it is, it's just not as good as debian. [00:22] in hardy, is there no longer a multimedia tab on the "removable drives and media" preference? I want to set vlc as the default dvd player and that was how i did it in the past. thanks. [00:22] firefuzz, so debain is still being developed ? [00:22] cycletronic, your hardware must support usb2, it's not a software thing [00:22] mod_cure: debian is alive and well. [00:23] firefuzz, so ubuntu uses the debian internals ? [00:23] CarlC0X-> if you believed it is so simple, then you probably already know the answer..you dont like to take my advise thats okay too..we ourselves didnt learn linux with one shot installs [00:23] Steve-cal: Score! Thank you so much for the help! I wish I'd've thought of that! [00:23] hi [00:23] mod_cure: negative, it's not totally compatible === steven_ is now known as StevenX [00:24] So I have a .iso that when I use "file " on it, it says ".iso: data". Is there a way to make it into an actual iso I can mount? [00:24] ashlayne: Great! Glad it worked. :) [00:24] anyone know how i can fix my headset sound? [00:24] ghabit: yes, samba [00:24] firefuzz, ubuntu used(not anymore) some of the debian internals in 2004 when ubuntu was created ? [00:24] i hear a toon when i plug in the headset, but then when i play something i get no sound [00:24] amenado its not my first install i assure u. i even installed debian and backtrack as well. i know how to install. now i just need to step ahead. so a fresh install wont help me. i need to learn how to fix things alright :) [00:25] benpicco: the hardware supports usb2, but when I modprobe ehci_hcd, it goes into an endless loop of "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 80" with increasing address [00:25] I can't find fwcutter on packages.ubuntu.com [00:25] mod_cure: ubuntu does things the ubuntu way, but it follows the basic debian way. they are different just similiar. [00:25] olá [00:26] CarlC0X-> okay, you dont like fresh install, try to learn the re-installation of network manager as it is the app you have tried to de-install and re-install [00:26] anyone wanna help me out? [00:26] musashi: Open a Nautilus window, the Edit/Preferences, there is the media tab [00:26] merlin08: Does it work at all or is it just poor quality audio? [00:26] amenado making a fresh install for every failure isnt a solution. means ill have to reinstall 5 times a day? :) [00:26] it doesnt work at all [00:26] i hear a sound when i plug in the headset...like a windows login kinda sound [00:27] but then nothing [00:27] CarlC0X-> i have done that before, allowing me to learn the nuances..but off course you are much smarted than I, so you can do things less [00:27] In Nautilus, I am getting a "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "RecordedCalls"." error, but I can use smbclient just fine - any ideas? [00:27] balug, cool thanks. did they move it or just remove a duplicate. [00:27] firefuzz, so ubuntu doesnt use debian internals it just follows the basic debian way ? === gconftool is now known as _a [00:27] merlin08: try double clicking on the volume ctrl [under gnome atleast] and check that headset isn't muted and cranked up. === _a is now known as I [00:28] tried that already....still doesnt work === I is now known as I_am [00:28] I_am: Please decide on a nickname and stick with it [00:28] amenado i see ure a little bit ironic. but u should be. being more advanced in linux doesnt make you smarter. it just makes u linux advanced :) [00:28] merlin make sure you are plugging it into headset and not microphone jack === I_am is now known as gconftool [00:29] musashi: Not sure, it used to be there. [00:29] its like it isnt my primary sound card [00:29] balug, okay, i see that but the only option for dvd is open movie player but not to select the movie player i want. am i missing something? [00:29] CarlC0X-> you are mis-understanding me, all am saying is i have to install several times, to get a real feel of what is happening [00:29] Seeker`: no [00:29] mod_cure: i'm no expert, but debian is debian, ubuntu just kinda cloned and tweaked it into ubuntu. [00:29] I just installed ubuntu 8.04 on this computer and rebooted when it asked me to and grub gave me an error saying it couldn't mount the partition. I can mount the partition in this live session. What can I do to fix this problem? [00:29] CarlC0X : are you familiar with snapshots in vmware? They let you roll back your changes to a 'checkpoint so to speak' [00:30] amenado, following the installation wizard doesnt give me any feeling about whats going on with my network manager :) [00:31] mod_cure: as far as system binaries, i wouldn't dare mixing them. use ubuntu repo's, definetly not debian repo's or .deb packages unless you like living dangerously :) [00:32] Nobody on the .iso file being a data with the file command, converting it into a usable .iso? [00:32] TTreshoem i see the spanshot button is not available now [00:32] CarlC0X-> you have re-installed and it worked, but suddenly it just does not work anymore? [00:32] amenado yes i know its strange. but it worked last night after i re installed :) [00:33] kellie did you let ubuntu do the partitioning or did you do it manaully [00:33] musashi: Mmh. You're right. [00:33] I let it do it [00:34] I told it to wipe one of my two hard drives and install to it [00:34] balug, for once :) [00:34] I think it was the second of the three options the wizard gave me [00:34] CarlC0X-> is the network on the host okay? networking on the host must be working before the vmware guest. [00:34] balug, there used to be a tab on the removable drives and media window but it's gone in hardy [00:35] does anyone have any experience in getting intel 4965agn working with advanced wireless auth like 802.1x? [00:35] amenado, and then there's people like me, I do a fresh install every week just to fix all the things I've "fixed" that week! ;-) but on a serious note, i could use your help in a bit? [00:35] linux was installed to that hard drive previously so I know my setup works fine [00:35] is it possible to disable ata1.00's DMA via a kernel option? [00:36] is it just me or there is something seriously wrong with firefox? [00:36] how can i have a dock on my ubuntu 8.04 [00:36] musahi: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/191475 [00:36] amenado yes host is fine, im using the host now. plus i can use wireless in ubuntu guest too [00:36] Launchpad bug 191475 in amarok "[hardy] media tab in file management preferences missing applications" [Low,Confirmed] [00:36] SeaPhor-> i do an install at least once a week, different methods though, [00:36] konqeror works just fine, firefox opens about 1/2 links and rest just slacks around with a half opened page [00:36] kellie which distro was on it [00:36] could someone guide me how to install a printer that is attached to a windows machine [00:37] hello good people, I have a question you might be able to help me with: I have two soundcards installed, I want to use on of them for output/input via oss (teamspeak) and the other for output via alsa, how would I go about fixing that? [00:37] clusty: firefox beta 5 is definetly acting weird here too. [00:37] hey im having trouble with speakers ... i have a 5.1 onboard sound card with 5.1 setup ... all channels work except center speaker [00:37] how can i have a dock on my ubuntu 8.04 [00:37] amenado, cool, i have here lately, lol, but those days are gone with the new wireless card :-)))))) [00:37] dillizar, install awn [00:37] bloodrock: Ubuntu 7.something [00:37] CarlC0X-> umm you have the wireless working in guest? [00:37] balug, thanks. that seems to be what i'm seeing. looks like most got fixed but not vlc [00:37] firefuzz: i just spent 3hours reconfiguring all my network [00:38] amenado yup :) [00:38] crille: how and from where [00:38] clusty: check and or remove mozilla addons in firefox beta 5 seemed to help me. [00:38] kellie weird that you came up with a grub prob hmm [00:38] !awn [00:38] Avant Window Navigator, is a dock-like navigation bar for the linux desktop that positions itself at the bottom of the screen. Homepage http://wiki.awn-project.org/ Awn-Manager can be found the Gutsy !backports repository and in Universe in Hardy [00:38] well, I just told grub to rewrite itself to the mbr on the drive so I'll try a reboot and write down the error code if it still gives ti to me [00:38] be back in a bit [00:39] dillizar, check this url for info: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/31/how-to-install-setup-and-use-avant-window-navigator-awn-in-ubuntu-feisty/ [00:39] could someone guide me how to install a printer that is attached to a windows machine [00:39] does anyone have any experience in getting intel 4965agn working with advanced wireless auth like 802.1x or LEAP? [00:39] firefuzz: worked [00:39] it might not be for your specifiv distro, but most of it should be accurate [00:39] CarlC0X-> I didnt know you can, you are controlling the wireless from the guest os? [00:39] firefuzz: godamn it.... [00:39] amenado, speaking of which, i have only done the alternate install once, and that was with help from someone in almost real-time on the forum (before i knew about this channel) [00:39] In ubuntu 8.04, I cannot get Evolution to put up calendar alarms. I want the alarm to appear and stay there until I click on the alarm. At present it sometimes flashes a message, but it disappears after a couple seconds, so I usually miss it. Anyone know how to change this? It worked on older versions of Evolution. [00:40] SeaPhor-> try it yourself, just digging up tidbits all over..makes you appreciate the developers sheer talents.. [00:41] dillizar: have you looked at avant-window-navigator? [00:41] oops, sorry, window wasn't scrolling and I thought there were no responses. :B [00:41] yes homeofpoe [00:42] is anyone here familiar with Nepenthes for ubuntu gusty? [00:42] amenado, i most certainly will, however, i was helping someone who is now downloading the alt ISO to attempt an install because the live cd kept freezing, any chance you can help him? [00:42] amenado yes works fine. i can get ubuntu online via wireless [00:42] SeaPhor-> let them join here in the channel [00:43] amenado, he was/is?? [00:43] CarlC0X-> you are controlling the wireless from the guest os? or the nic appears just as an ethernet from the guest point of view? [00:43] hey im having trouble with speakers ... i have a 5.1 onboard sound card with 5.1 setup ... all channels work except center speaker [00:43] SeaPhor-> okay..we'll assist them when we can [00:44] amenado, ok [00:44] amenado im controlling the wireless from the ubuntu guest (the one which doesnt work otherwise) [00:45] hi.. i have a problem with xorg.conf my screen is always 800x600 after restart, i have to go to nvidia program and set it to 1024x768, and i save to X and it does not work.... [00:45] Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0" [00:46] TTreshoem i did that ifconfig eth0 up and i see the eth0 now. but still no network connection [00:46] on my xorg.conf... shwoul i put it only Option "metamodes" "1024x768 " ? [00:46] anyone good with command prompt?? [00:46] my video is stuck at 600x800 clean install real 8.04 disk.?? [00:46] hisingh1, You mean terminal..? [00:46] CarlC0X-> what ip address did you get for your guest? for your host? [00:46] ya terminal; [00:46] Guys- installing Ubuntu now with the alternative CD- it tells me to enter a hostname for the system [00:46] is this the same as the computer name? [00:47] hisingh1, Uh I'm pretty good with it I guess... Well what do you need? [00:47] ICM yes [00:47] do you know how to copy a file from one directory to another [00:47] thought so, thanks amenado ^^ [00:47] ICM: yes it is, name it anything [00:47] amenado rephrase please [00:47] hi.. i have a problem with xorg.conf my screen is always 800x600 after restart, i have to go to nvidia program and set it to 1024x768, and i save to X and it does not work.... xorg.conf section: Option "metamodes" "1024x768 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0" can anyone help!?!?!? [00:47] firefuzz: going with Shana ;-) [00:47] ..beacuse I have a weird obession with naming my computers with (typically east-Asian) female names [00:48] CarlC0X-> your guest os will have a separate ip address from your host (hosting the guest)..what are they? [00:48] hisingh1, cp [00:48] hisingh1, if you're trying to copy a directory to inside of another directory, cp -r [00:48] ICM name one like Indira [00:49] amenado its set for auto. i didnt mess with the IPs [00:49] I NEED help with the restricted driver they arnt wworking [00:49] jansen: I would just edit xorg.conf and ADD a 1024x768 lines before the 800x600 entries. it usually defaults to rhe highest setting listed, but backup your original xorg.conf first. === SplinTer is now known as SplinTer0616 [00:49] Hmm nah, I'm very picky with names XD [00:49] CarlC0X-> auto what? no matter, each has to have an ip address, what are they?

[00:55] sudo ifup eth0 [00:55] TTreshoem: well if you are 200km away from the system that is a litle bit difficult to be honest ;) [00:55] Ignoring unknown interface eth0=eth0.

[00:58] are you sure you saw ifconfig return eth0? [00:58] CarlC0X: try staring intensely at lshw and lsmod; are the drivers for your nic loaded? [00:58] XiD`: try changing your sound to use alsa [00:58] LtL, i am already using alsa [00:58] in the VM that you are using have you configured the connection to be active? [00:59] how do you end a task using a terminal [00:59] org [00:59] how to change the color of inotify window? [00:59] CarlC0X: Also, what did you select: NAT or Bridged (share with host) ? [00:59] XiD`: have you tried 'system - preferences - sound?' [00:59] I can not mount my external hard drive. Ubuntu procliams that it can not mount the EHD due to an "unclean shutdown." Is there a safe way to mount this hard drive? [00:59] Bazhang, well if someone would Help me [01:00] is there a boot parameter that can be used to stop the Live CD from starting X ? [01:00] "unclean shutdown of the EHD" * [01:00] <[1]Coded1> sup; in terminal use "ps -A" to find the PID then "kill 'pid#'" [01:00] LtL, everything is set as NVidia CK804, which is my on-board sound driver. Is this incorrect? [01:00] blah569: what filesystem? [01:00] belorix112, that wont make it happen faster; open a terminal and type lspci for chipset [01:00] NTFS (I believe) [01:00] blah569: put it in a windows machine and run chkdsk [01:00] TTreshoem, it did work super fine last night. (untill i did an apt-get install remove networkmanager, and re-installed right back).. and still worked fine last night after i reinstalled. but today it didnt work. im sure it was becaused i messed with the network manager [01:00] blah569: hopefully that makes the journal consistent [01:00] ok [01:01] CarlC0X: i'm not sure what you're attempting to do, maybe wlan0 is your interface to use. the wiki has a good wifi section. [01:01] TTreshoem bridged [01:01] How do I run the "chkdsk?" [01:01] blah569: it sounds like you're pulled it without dismounting at some point [01:01] blah569, chkdsk is a windows command to run from DOS. [01:01] blah569: on a modern windows machine, chkdsk /v /f x: [01:01] okay, thanks [01:01] XiD`: CMD.EXE isn't DOS :P [01:01] <[1]Coded1> anyone with problems with xfx 6200 256mb graphics cards? I tried booting hardy 8.0.4 off a live cd and all i get is scree corruption regardless of the resolutions I cycle through [01:01] XiD`: I would think so, but ubuntu is weird sometimes, try anything different and see if it helps. [01:01] Dewi, well a dos emulator :) [01:01] XiD`: nor is it a DOS emulator [01:02] XiD`: it's a console [01:02] Dewi, it doesn't matter, as you can't run chkdsk from within cmd. [01:02] XiD`: er, you can't? [01:02] Dewi, so you are arguing semantics :) it forces a restart into dos regardless. [01:02] XiD`: no it doesn't [01:02] XiD`: XP doesn't even have a "DOS" stage [01:02] !windows [01:02] bazhung: http://pastebin.com/m72f04145 [01:02] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows.

A reboot is required, so why are you arguing [01:03] !windows [01:03] CarlC0X-> on vista windows command line, type ipconfig, on ubuntu terminal type ip a <--- any results or you ignored my request?

[01:03] Dewi, i know it is, because this ubuntu partition is on my third drive, whereas windows is on my first. i couldn't run chkdsk on this drive while in windows.

This will let you use Ubuntu and see if all your hardware is compatible. [01:27] What are the primary advantages of running ubuntu as compared to XP?

I had a friend visit and they could only do wpa1 so I changed the settings, and now roaming my network I can't connect, but if I manually set things up I can connect, so I think NetworkManager or wpasupplicant has some settings stored for that specific essid and I can't find them. Any thoughts? [01:27] Anyone here good with SSH? [01:28] LtL, I mean for rhythmbox or general [01:28] AliP: depends... but no need for antivirus firewall defragmentation tool adaware scanners and soo on is the obvios advantage.

[02:19] News to me. [02:19] LtL, thank you [02:19] i turned everything up and still nothing. my speakers work fine cuz i can hear that they are on.

[02:40] j4w4: put "sudo" before the command [02:40] Starnestommy: thats what i thought but i wasnt sure, thanks [02:40] alip language please === conor is now known as Conor_M [02:41] hi every one need some help to configure my wifi card i am getting wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down when i am trying to scan for wireless and i have a firmware problem any one can give some help plz ? [02:41] does anyone know how i can get sound again???????? [02:41] slowlearner: I've never used apache with xampp [02:41] blahblahx: I've never used the livecd, sorry. [02:41] yaman: does the wlan LED glow [02:41] okay Starnestommy am i supposed to add mIRC to the WINEs virtual hard drive? [02:41] hello [02:41] shree: no :( [02:41] Nissan_350Z: is mIRC installed in wine's program files? [02:41] scifi you have no sound? [02:42] Does anybody know when Firefox3 RC1 is coming to Hardy Repos? [02:42] Starnestommy: is there any way to tell which config apache is using? [02:42] Starnestommy: i dont see it [02:42] Is there anyone here who uses Pulseaudio as their audio driver? I would just like some people's ideas of how well it works, and how well it works as a replacement for ALSA? [02:42] shree_ : nop :( [02:42] yaman: i would say that you might not have installed the driver properly then [02:42] i have NO sound whatsoever!! [02:42] alip how bout trying to reinstall ubuntu? [02:42] yaman: which version is that [02:42] slowlearner: isn't there already a deb package [02:42] http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup Steve-cal check this [02:42] slowlearner: it's usually using apache2.conf, ports.conf, sites-enabled/*, and mods-enabled/* in /etc/apache2/ [02:43] Steve-cal: Last I checked, pulseaudio isn't a replacement for your ALSA/OSS4 drivers. [02:43] Scifiguy951, create a new user and see if that works [02:43] Steve-cal: ive heard from some friends that pulseaudio cant or wasnt able to run on multiple apps at the same time [02:43] okay [02:43] shree_: i am a little bit new on linux it's hardy and i did configure the wireless b4 on dapper and on knoppix but now i am having some conflict with the firmware or some thing else [02:43] ubunturocks117: i previously installed xampp with no problems, now i tried the deb package and it wont work [02:43] did you go to system, preferences then to sound and make any adjustments there? [02:43] Starnestommy: somehow it's using my xampps apache conf [02:43] anyone know how to change the color of tray balloon? [02:43] yaman: have you tried the wireless driver application on Hardy. Installed my wlan device in a breeze [02:43] slowlearner: did you try alien [02:44] ubunturocks117: why would i do that? i sudo apt-get install apache2 [02:44] alien is NOT for ubuntu [02:44] Where can i find out when Firefox3 RC! will get to hardy repos? [02:44] ubunturocks117, bad choice [02:44] silverpower: If it doesn't replace ALSA entirely, what is its purpose? Does it just do the mixing part (multiplex audio output from various apps) and then hand it off to ALSA? [02:44] !alien [02:44] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:44] slowlearner: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP === c is now known as Charitwo [02:44] shree_: i tryied b4 and it's telling me network is down is there any thing or way that i can make an upgrade or autodetection for my card ? [02:44] anabelle, likley never [02:44] slowlearner: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default is the file you want iirc. [02:45] bazhang Why do you say that? [02:45] slowlearner sudo apt-get install alien then go to firefox site then download the .rpm package then there will be an option to convert it to deb then it will be installed === honey is now known as honeyzzz [02:45] yaman: which wireless card is it [02:45] anabelle, straight to final [02:45] yaman: Broadcom?? [02:45] ubunturocks117: Thats... just bad advice. [02:45] what do you mean? [02:45] ubunturocks117: why would i download rpm???? [02:45] bazhang bad choice for what [02:45] shree_> yeah for dell 1390 mini card [02:45] anabelle, I don't think there are resources to track the development of packages that are going to be in the repos at some point [02:45] Steve-cal: Yep, that's more or less all it does. That, and network streaming. Kinda handy, but I prefer ESD for that task anyway. [02:45] ok never mind [02:45] ubunturocks117: this is debian!!! [02:45] slowlearner converting rpms is not a good idea.. much better to compile it yourself [02:45] soldats: Interesting, I was looking at its description in Synaptic and it claims to be able to mix multiple audio streams together. But your friends had problems with it? Did they figure it out or just give it up? [02:45] yaman: i am having the same [02:45] ubunturocks117, please stop with the bad advice [02:45] Starnestommy: i dont see it [02:46] Nissan_350Z: you might need to reinstall mirc [02:46] shree_: does it work with you fine ? [02:46] ahh okay :D [02:46] Thank you :D [02:46] shree_: how did make it work ? [02:46] jughead but firefox3 RC1 is getting to the repos right? [02:46] bazhang stop being arrogant its called learning okay [02:46] Steve-cal: to mu knowledge they javent figured it out yet but im they will some time soon but for now they have all just been using ALSA instead [02:46] ubunturocks117, no name calling please [02:46] anabelle: Firefox will be updated, yes. [02:46] yaman: yeah. install Windows wireless driver program from App-> Add/ Remove [02:46] Jack_Sparrow: yes i've always been used to compiling from sources... and I might be considering to go back, since the one from repos did not work out of the box [02:46] Nissan_350Z: the reason why it's not working is probably because it somehow got uninstalled [02:46] and do you know, Starnestommy if this UnrealIRCd will work with Wine? [02:46] shree_: did you install it on ndiswrapper ? bcmlw5 ? [02:46] !ff3rc [02:46] silverpower: ALSA all ready has mixing of multiple audio streams functionality--so what would be the reason to use Pulseaudio? [02:46] Providing Firefox 3 RC package is planned, but currently most of the Ubuntu-mozilla team is at the Ubuntu Developer Summit (!uds) so please be patient. [02:46] :D [02:46] ubunturocks117 using alien can not be considered learning.. [02:46] yaman: You dont need that much of trouble [02:47] Nissan_350Z: you can compile unrealircd and run it natively on linux without wine or unreal's windows version [02:47] F***ERS!!! it didnt work!! [02:47] shree_> add remove?! [02:47] anti-learning more like [02:47] scifi did you get my last message? [02:47] yaman: I had configured it earlier using ndiswrapper for my KDE too. It did work [02:47] SeaPhor- just installed 7.10 64-bit edition, we'll see how this goes :) [02:47] no [02:47] Scifiguy951 Watch the language please [02:47] Starnestommy: i dont know how XD thats why i want to run it with wine [02:47] yaman: i meant install that program [02:47] yaman: :) [02:47] sorry i am just really frustrated [02:47] I suspect wine with his sound problems [02:47] bazhang: BTW thanks for that link. [02:48] did you go into sound and try adjusting it there? [02:48] Nissan_350Z: there are instructions in the readme and install files of the source archive [02:48] Steve-cal, :) [02:48] anyway, thanks guys, ill take a look at the links [02:48] shree_> :( i can't get it work i don't know how to install it like you did ? did you blocked any drivers manualy ? [02:48] join#100 [02:48] Steve-cal: Not much I can think of. It's a good replacement for ESD and arts. That's about it, really. dmix is good enough if you don't need network streaming (I do). [02:48] Starnestommy: okay thanks :D [02:48] yaman: have you installed that program [02:48] papi001 Please dont do that [02:49] i click test on "autodetect" and i get this message ""audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Resource busy or not available."" [02:49] yaman: search for wireless and you will find this program [02:49] i go into gnome-look.org and theres all these choices like gdm and gtk but which one is the default themer for ubuntu? tried ubuntu-look.org its down [02:49] shree_: in the add remove ? or synapitic ? [02:49] where can I find some help on a Code::Blocks install for dapper synap say its installed but I can't get it to load? [02:50] yaman: In the add/Remove under Applications [02:50] did you click on other options you should have seen your sound card drivers [02:50] als: is build-essential installed? [02:50] silverpower: I don't need network streaming, but I'm still having issues with audio apps "stuttering" sometimes when I use ALSA. Any ideas by chance? I'm not sure I would gain anything by trying PulseAudio. [02:50] yes [02:50] or at least something else similar [02:50] als: what happens when yoy try to start it? [02:50] yaman: they are very similar but synaptic has more features....you can also try apt-get or aptitude [02:50] *you [02:50] shree_: there is only 3 programs i have windows wireless drivers and 2 called hardware drivers [02:51] apt-get update? [02:51] Steve-cal: What sort of CPU load? You're not using the pure unmitigated evil that is gstreamer, are you? [02:51] yaman: install hte windows wrieless driver and hardware drivers [02:51] als: no, Code::Blocks [02:51] i clack "test" on one of the drivers and a "test" window comes up and nothing happens just "TESTING..." [02:51] shree_: i do have them all installed [02:51] haven't tried it [02:51] what version are you using scifi? [02:51] 7.10 [02:51] Did you just load it? [02:52] yaman now goto Ssytem-> Administration-> Windows Wireless Drivers [02:52] yaman: now goto Ssytem-> Administration-> Windows Wireless Drivers [02:52] silverpower: No, no gstreamer for me. :) And the crazy think is the "stuttering" can happen under light loads--I have a CPU monitor on my panel so I know exactly what's happening when my audio stutters. [02:52] bazhang: Do you have any personal experience with PulseAudio? [02:52] shree_: then [02:53] Hello, everyone, is anoyone available to help a desperate noobie? [02:53] theFATMAN go for it!

[02:55] ewww! vista! lol [02:55] Steve-cal: If that's what I think it is, I'm sorry to hear that. :p [02:55] o well tr ill just wait for ff3 final release [02:55] i have an NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 AGP DDR,would it be compatible with a newer dual core amd or intel?

[03:07] theFATMAN Does the livecd give you an option to boot the first hard drive.. that might also let you back in.. [03:07] manuel_: ubottu es un robot. no es una persona de verdad. [03:07] tmapj, not to worry about [03:07] Dewi, jockey-gtk [03:08] tmapj: Basically, yup. [03:08] silverpower: lspci -vv doesn't give any latency value for my sound card, but has a latency value for my monitor and other devices. [03:08] tmapj no but the same program can be used to rip the dvd and make copies or sell or distribute it illegally [03:08] bazhang, why? [03:08] Flannel, what would be the whole path to it? [03:08] croddy: oh, that thing just says I have none installed. How would I install some? [03:08] croddy: ie nvidia [03:08] lgc: I have no idea [03:08] well im not planning on copying and distributing it [03:08] SeaPhor: Cool, I never knew that! [03:08] Steve-cal: Okay, lemme check and see. Like I said, it's been a while. [03:08] tmapj: welcome to US law [03:08] tmapj try telling the government that [03:08] does ubuntu let you cut'n'paste launcher files or do I have to use terminal commands? [03:08] flyingsquirrel32, :-) [03:09] tmapj: you are only allowed to play digital media on devices approved by the cartel [03:09] <`Kermudge> Question using Xchat alas can't seem to get the whois command to work. :( [03:09] Dewi, getting offtopic [03:09] Dewi tmapj yeah thats what i meant by official dvd thing [03:09] jack_sparrow:it says it cant find the package [03:09] Dewi, you'll need to check and make sure that the restricted repos (universe?) are enabled in your apt sources config, and it should recommend the nvidia driver to you. if it doesn't, in my experience, that means your hardware is not recognized by the restricted drivers manager and you'll need to do it manually [03:09] my pidgin has one question. it said: not read Sock data!无法读取套接字 [03:10] !cn | edward_ [03:10] edward_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [03:10] jack_sparrow:the live CD does not [03:10] bye everyone, nice to chat!

[03:10] ok thanks [03:10] croddy: right... I've got universe/multiverse... if jockey isn't prompting me it hasn't worked? [03:10] beacuse i am chinese [03:11] DJ_Cranky, please take this to offtopic [03:11] sorry I hate the chat client.. :( [03:11] really [03:11] edward_, ahhhhh that makes sense :-P [03:11] Dewi in my experience if jockey or restricted-manager does not offer the driver to you then your hardware is probably too recent (or possibly too old) although you can try installing the nvidia stuff anyway [03:11] bazhang sorry, will do if convo continues [03:11] xcell ? [03:11] so what does 无法读取套接字 mean? [03:11] someone else dobson [03:11] K [03:12] Steve-cal: Mine displays it, but this is an nForce1 board. It also displays the latency as 0ms. >_< [03:12] jack_sparrow? [03:12] it's not read Socks [03:12] silverpower: http://pastebin.com/d58dbffc5 look near the very bottom for my sound card. [03:12] theFATMAN I never recommend wubi... I think you can save your windows install by installing grub even if it cant find windows, or just do a regular install without wubi and you should get windows back [03:12] croddy: Thanks, works like a charm :) [03:12] Which guy was asking for wireless networking help? [03:12] croddy: actually I get a bunch of 'modinfo' warnings when I launch jockey - there jsut aren't any nvidia files in my /lib/modules/*-generic/volatile [03:12] <`Kermudge> bazhang you there? [03:12] edward_, /join #ubuntu-cn [03:12] croddy: I'm on a live cd....

[03:12] Dewi, i don't know how to set up nvidia drivers on the live CD. [03:12] Jack_Sparrow: you are right although it may have to be configured manually with grub. [03:12] <`Kermudge> Need some more help bazhang. Can't get the Whois command to work. :( [03:12] theFATMAN, wubi installs ubuntu as aprogram in windows [03:12] !wubi [03:13] 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. [03:13] theFATMAN I can link you a faq later. [03:13] ohhh [03:13] `Kermudge, like this /whois [03:13] <`Kermudge> Yup like that. [03:13] anyone know what impact using WUBI might have on the NTFS journal? [03:13] yes, please do [03:13] Dewi, none [03:13] i have gotten -0- support from M$ [03:13] <`Kermudge> does not do squat when I use it. [03:13] SeaPhor: Not in the list. Should I move on to ndiswrapper? [03:13] bazhang: can it avoid doing metadata writes because it's just writing sections within one big monolithic file? [03:14] let me try again [03:14] edward_, do you know how to use wgetpaste? [03:14] `Kermudge, just right click someone's name then and ask for who is from xchat [03:14] `Kermudge: are you talking about wubi? [03:14] theFATMAN In your position, I would unplug my external drive, boot livecd, shrink my primary drive windows partition and let ubuntu install to that drive [03:14] what is it? [03:14] ok, how do i mount a partiton? [03:14] theFATMAN I need to get to dinner [03:14] with great gusto [03:14] ok [03:14] whats the command for edward to install wgetpaste? [03:14] wait one minutes. i google [03:14] i understand [03:14] im not sure what it is for ubuntu [03:14] <`Kermudge> Again nothing bazhang. [03:14] theFATMAN create mount point and mount the drive to that point [03:14] hi [03:15] how to link?

[03:32] Flannel: what is the first version === conor is now known as Conor_M [03:32] dijix, nautilus-open-terminal [03:32] montpelie, is there any useful error output? [03:33] Dillizar: Warty, although I'm not sure older is better. You may want to pick a distro specially designed for older/slower hardware, DeliLinux is one example of such a distro [03:33] tmapj, your question makes little sense. what do you run in the terminal that you want to connect through tor? [03:33] croddy, WHEN THE TERMINAL DOWNLOADS STUFF [03:33] tmapj, dont shout [03:33] sorry [03:33] tmapj, what stuff [03:33] tmapj, for the last time: the terminal downloads nothing. if you are running tools in the terminal, they might use the HTTP_PROXY environment variable. [03:34] bazhang, like software [03:34] sure, hold on [03:34] oceanvessel@oceangoingvessel-TPC:~$ sudo apt-file update [03:34] [sudo] password for oceanvessel: [03:34] Can't get http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Contents-i386.gz (404) [03:34] Can't get http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Contents-i386.gz (404) [03:34] Can't get http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Contents-i386.gz (404) [03:34] Can't get http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-proposed/Contents-i386.gz (404) [03:34] tmapj, why though [03:34] Can't get http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-updates/Contents-i386.gz (404) [03:34] not all of it please [03:34] Can't get http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy-security/Contents-i386.gz (404) [03:34] it was a yes or no question [03:34] pastebin didnt work, just to let u guys know [03:34] because they told me the software for playing DVD's is illegal [03:34] have a good day folks [03:34] tmapj, oh that; never mind [03:35] montpelie, there's another way with pastebinit from the command line [03:35] nobody cares whether you download libdvdcss2 tmapj [03:35] bazhang, what nevermind? [03:35] oh which one is it izinucs?? [03:35] tmapj, just download it as millions of others do [03:35] When I right-click on the menu, and select "Edit Menus" nothing happens. Same as when I go to System -> Preferences -> main Menu. Any ideas why? [03:35] * croddy did! [03:35] ok [03:35] brb i gotta get on my other box this wifi driver is too flakey im getting every thing like 5 minutes delayed [03:35] thnx [03:35] control +p [03:35] yaman: BTW do you know your IP address [03:35] bpat1434, alacarte takes a bit of time to start up even on fast hardware -- not sure why [03:36] croddy: I give it like 20 minutes [03:36] never taken that long [03:36] that would be too long to wait [03:36] montpelie, install pastbinit then you can cat | pastebinit.... it will return an address.. [03:36] bpat1434, run alacarte from a terminal and see if there is any useful output [03:36] (but don't paste more than a line or two in here!) [03:36] montpelie, it's also a different pastbin service.. so the link is a little different.. smaller [03:36] hey.. how do I remove an item from the menu? for some reason I have two "Services" [03:36] Flannel: lol 10x there is "Download installation floppy disks". [03:36] oh ok thanks for the info izinucs [03:36] like.. folders. [03:36] kk [03:36] afallenhope, use alacarte [03:36] croddy: permission denied? [03:37] I have a desktop PC connected to (wired) cable modem. I would like to share my internet connection with another person in the house. He has a laptop and he would like to do wireless internet. I have a Dell Wireless Broadband 2350 Router. As for me, I would like to continue using Wired internet. How do I go about setting up the router? [03:37] croddy: I have... and I can't remove it [03:37] I have tried doing a physical "rewiring" (the end of cable that went to the back of my computer now goes to the Internet port on the wireless router. Then, with another cable, I connect the back of my computer to "LAN1" at the back of the wireless router) but that doesn't work). Thanks [03:37] bpat1434, i'm out of ideas, sorry [03:37] Can someone please help me with my DVD playback problem? I have tried the links given in here and under support and on the Totum page, and wiki and still get the "you do not have the plugin" for this movie. [03:38] croddy: I simply want to remove one item === JohnnyHempseed is now known as crackerjackz [03:38] an empty folder that says "services" [03:38] afallenhope, i have not experienced any flakiness with alacarte so i am at a loss to explain the behavior you are describing, sorry [03:38] shree_: hello [03:38] croddy: [03:39] BTW, I installed VLC player and even it doesn't work correctly, barely loads before crashing when I run the dvd [03:39] croddy: http://paste2.org/p/29682 [03:39] croddy: I used the menu editor.... I made a new menu...named "Services" and "Security" I have two folders named Services now [03:39] want to remove the empty one [03:39] redwhitewaldo, that should have worked.. once connected can you see the rom of the router .. usually on 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 [03:39] izinucs: thanks for your reply. How do i know if i can see rom? [03:39] bpat1434, try 'chown -R brett:brett /home/brett/.config/menus/applications.menu' and run it again. looks like someone else might own your menus [03:40] Hello Flannel a couple of days ago you referred me to APTonCD and I'd like to ask you some follow-up questions [03:40] redwhitewaldo, type in both of the address i just gave you and see what pops up. [03:40] (might want to go a bit higher up than just the one file though) [03:40] hey izinicus [03:40] already setup pastebinit [03:40] and catted the file in question [03:40] shree_: ?!!?! [03:40] ok. I'll have to re-wire right now, and get the router as the middleman again. Because, currently, the router is out of the loop as I'm online. [03:40] brb [03:40] it came up with pastebin.com === dobson is now known as Nu2Linux [03:41] croddy: [03:41] montpelie, and /? [03:41] Anyone else know? I simply want to remove ONE item from the menu [03:41] nope [03:41] croddy: Was a bad permission on settings.menu and applications.menu [03:41] thanks for the suggestion [03:41] cool [03:41] am I missing something??? [03:42] montpelie, let me try here. brb [03:42] kkk [03:42] afallenhope: sorry bud, I'm new to linux too, i could help you if we were talking about menus in IRC. [03:42] wait! gnome its gnome? there are not versions like KDA? [03:42] KDE? [03:42] Nu2Linux: the menus on the main pannel. I simply want to remove a folder [03:42] redwhitewaldo: Alright [03:42] russ: Alright [03:43] testing [03:43] hello? [03:43] can you hear me, people? [03:43] izinucs: it says "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.1." [03:43] same for 192.168.1.1 [03:43] do you hear me? [03:43] I can see you redwhitewaldo [03:43] afallenhope: in what "ubuntu? [03:43] redwhitewaldo, is that address running a web server? generally that error indicates it is not. [03:43] Nu2Linux: yes [03:43] http://pastebin.com/f3e7c4f2d [03:43] montpelie [03:43] #ubuntu [03:43] I just installed this myself I have no idea.. [03:43] sup? [03:44] Flannel: why'd you say "alright"? did you get my "testing" message? [03:44] redblacktree, did you try the other number? [03:44] I dont get it, how do I access an secondary hard drive on ubuntu, I just installed this and i have no idea wtf is going on. [03:44] most panel allow you to edit the contents using a right button click [03:44] redwhitewaldo, did you try the other number? [03:44] that's funny. I was able to type things in while the router was connected, but I couldn't see any of your messages [03:44] sorry redblacktree wrong nick [03:44] Anyone know the url for the log for this site? [03:44] izinucs: yes, both numbers were tried. both said "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 192.168.0.1." [03:44] afallenhope: where is the folder ? [03:45] croddy, i'm not sure if that address is running a webserver. [03:45] can anyone help me solve a sound problem? [03:45] colin3, ask away [03:45] croddy: this i can tell you: i am just a regular websurfer [03:45] redwhitewaldo, if you have the manual for the router it should give you the administrative ip address to see the rom [03:45] <`Kermudge> 192.168.0.1 is your router is it not? [03:45] afallenhope: apps, places, system? [03:45] ok I just installed hardy and my sound doesn't work on some things [03:45] redwhitewaldo: no, my nick complete was betraying me. But, I did get your testing message. [03:45] i hear the drum sound at the login screen [03:45] i hear pidgin sounds [03:45] is there a listserver email client for linux? [03:45] yaman: I was wondering how I woudl connect to you on VNC, do you know your IP [03:45] shut, I did not get that izinucs, is that a sample? [03:45] and i hear the test sound on gstreamer-properties [03:46] dumb question: how do i start up any application in awesome-wm, terminal for example? [03:46] but I can't hear sounds from amarok [03:46] sent, awaiting response [03:46] shree_: [03:46] it wont connect to any of the servers for portage [03:46] shree_: i did sent some messages to you on private ? ! [03:46] izinucs: i have the paper manual. paper manual has no ip address [03:46] shree_: 90.153.218.109 [03:46] when i use theinternet the application doing so uses 60%-100% cpu! but when i watch this in top it says that my swap partition isnt being used at all,.,.is this normal? [03:46] montpelie, yep.. just did cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and that was the address returned. [03:46] by i know my internet works because i can ping google [03:46] colin3, something is probably blocking the sound device. 'lsof |grep snd' might help you find what [03:46] is there any chm to pdf or html converter available for linux? [03:46] hello where can i find the patch to create a 2.6.25 ubuntu kernel from the kernel.org version ? [03:46] OK Flannel I went and got APTonCD and when I start it, it lists a bunch of packages on my machine, but not all of the apps I have are listed, e.g., audacity, gtkpod, etc. Are those packages on my machine somewhere? How can I find them? Or, barring that, how can I get them onto a CD for my friend? [03:46] yaman: i didnt receive those [03:47] any ideas? [03:47] uhhm, I guess I am missing some sort of configuration then [03:47] redwhitewaldo, you might check dell's website for a more detailed manuel.. or their online live help [03:47] shree_: mmm no private i think because not a registerd name [03:47] it keeps timing out when i try to emerge something basically [03:47] shree_: 111111 (im open source) [03:47] this was the output: gconf-hel 6487 colin mem REG 8,2 357520 4950267 /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.17 [03:47] mixer_app 6618 colin 20u CHR 116,0 12148 /dev/snd/controlC0 [03:47] crap im talking in the wrong channel [03:47] is anyone here available for maybe 5 minutes to help me sort out the DVD issue. Nothing will get it playing. It's aggrevating since I can do anything I want in winblows.. But I really want to transition to Linux. [03:47] <`Kermudge> Nite folks have fun I think. [03:48] russ: do you have some examples of programs you have that aren't listed? [03:48] shree_: ?? you got it work ? [03:48] colin3, looks like gnome stuff is hogging the sound card. you'll want to look into something like pulseaudio [03:48] you too Kermudge [03:48] montpelie, you're not doing it from Alt+f2 are you? should be in an open terminal.. [03:48] izinucs: good news. CD rom has some stuff. IP Address 192.168.2.1. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0. Does that help? [03:48] right [03:48] aggg!! im ready to kill some one, im stuck at a step in a tutorial kuz its a little out of date, and i dont know the language, can any one help me out? [03:48] ok thanks [03:48] those are default settings. [03:48] redwhitewaldo, try it. [03:48] Flannel sure, I listed two - audacity and gtkpod - I'm sure there's lots of others [03:48] is there any chm to pdf or html converter available for linux? [03:48] is there a listserver email client for linux? [03:49] ok. here we go again. pls stand by. i'll get the router in the loop again. [03:49] 8-) [03:49] yaman: i am unable to connect [03:49] mookinator1313: we can use you over in Iraq../Iran.. :) [03:49] abhi/aspoor : that'd probably be best answered by a simple google search [03:49] Nu2Linux: it's int the main "Applications" [03:49] aspoor, you want to run a mailing list, or subscribe to one? [03:49] HEY!! JUST KUZ IM RETARTED!! [03:49] abhi, yes.. search synaptic for chm and you'll see what you're looking for [03:49] afallenhope: ok the main menu? [03:49] ok [03:49] izinucs , running it as root as well [03:49] doesnt mean the army is my only option, im not THAT dumb [03:49] Flannel I tried just searching for files with ".deb" in their names and a zillion "changelog.Debian.gz" were found but no files *.deb [03:50] !ot | mook [03:50] montpelie, you shouldn't need to do that.. [03:50] mook: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:50] !ISO Mirrors [03:50] Factoid iso mirrors not found [03:50] Nu2Linux: yeah [03:50] it should work though , right??? [03:50] shree_: can you telnet to 14314 [03:50] montpelie, yep [03:50] LOL @ mookinator1313 [03:50] afallenhope: you there? [03:50] oh man, I am lost [03:51] !ask mookinator [03:51] Factoid ask mookinator not found [03:51] dammit [03:51] !ask [03:51] 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. :-) [03:51] Nu2Linux: yeah [03:51] yaman: i have not used telenet to connect. can u give me the commands [03:51] http://pastebin.com/, this is all I get; no reference number after that [03:51] I have a python script that turns everything on the desktop into a SWF movie. Go Me [03:51] croddy, it seems PulseAudio is already installed... what do I need to do with it? [03:51] montpelie, just paste the output by hand then [03:51] haha [03:51] How to change autostarted applications (file type associations)... all I see for easily accessible options is "web client" and "multimedia player" [03:51] !pulseaudio [03:51] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [03:51] afallenhope: I think if you click on : applications then >other then menu editor.. that's what you are looking for [03:51] montpelie, there's a space between the file name and the | and pastebinit [03:51] much easier ah [03:51] the link will have better info than i will colin3 [03:52] there certainly is [03:52] have u tried vnc from a dial-up ever b4 [03:52] shree_, i have, and it's no fun! [03:52] oceanvessel@oceangoingvessel-TPC:~$ cat apt-file-error | pastebinit [03:52] http://pastebin.com/ [03:52] oceanvessel@oceangoingvessel-TPC:~$ [03:52] I'm not positive since everything in linux is installed in a package manager but I think you can customize it there. [03:52] Can anyone help me access a hard drive on my computer? [03:52] you could have had it pasted by now! [03:52] take a look at it [03:52] Nu2Linux: thanks lol. I should have seen that [03:52] yaman: what port are you serving. i have used vnc only on windows [03:52] I just installed ubuntu and i have no idea whats going on [03:52] shree_: telnet 90.153.218.109 14314 [03:52] montpelie, apt-file-error is the name of the file? [03:53] :) Hey I'm lost myself. is that what you were looking for? [03:53] correct [03:53] Nu2Linux: yeah. [03:53] hi... [03:53] AliP: you'll have to give us more than that, like error prompts, messages and log info [03:53] :) Yeah, the newbies win a round.. lol [03:53] shree_: the port is automatic configured just i asked for telnet to check if the problem is from the vncserver or from the bad connection [03:53] yaman: unable to connect to you [03:53] I'm *still* working on a sync problem with a clie palmOS handheld. When I sync, here's what puts forth: http://pastebin.org/37192 I'm using kpilot. [03:53] Well, I just tryed clicking on the harddrive like in WinXP, got "Cannot mount volume" [03:53] AliP, how many hard drives do you have hooked up? How are they partitioned? What filesystem are they using? Are they shown/detected by BIOS? [03:54] does it give you a reason, alip? [03:54] shree_: oh shift [03:54] what is a good bit torrent downloading program, other than transmission? [03:54] shree_: i am dead [03:54] I have 5 hard drives, nfts, yes they detect in bios [03:54] AliP: what kind of HD is it [03:54] russ: When you first start it, it lists the packages you have downloaded and are still in your apt-cache, you can add any dditional packages as well, by just indicating them. Everything in the repos is available [03:54] d4x mysterioso [03:54] They are all Sata Seagates [03:54] mysterioso, i like deluge, but apt-cache search torrent for an extensive list [03:54] yaman: iam unable to ping you [03:54] Nu2Linux: actually I found it myself in the System -> Preference -> Main Menu and I deleted it from there [03:54] sometimes ntfs (windows) drives if not properly shut down go into a read only mode, you have to bypass it with a FORCE option [03:55] Are they all ntfs AliP? [03:55] yes [03:55] I'm new myself, but had to answer this one for myself a lil bit ago [03:55] yo i have a dell latitude c640.... master bios password installed, and i dont know who it was registered under so calling dell is useless... anyone know how to get by it [03:55] Hello, I am unable to access my external Harddisk, I am encountering an error saying "Cannot mount volume". [03:55] I'll have to go look the command up on google for ya as I don't remember [03:55] Little. [03:55] "Lil [03:55] AliP: please install ntfs-3g from Synaptic [03:55] montpelie, try with a different file name and include the path [03:55] flameon, if you need a bag, steal a camera, not a laptop [03:55] " is correctly spelled"little", SanitariuM. [03:55] shree_: this is the dialup protection :P [03:55] ;-) [03:55] babolat: what for is that 3g stuff [03:56] shree_: i used the www.whatismyip.com to find out my ip [03:56] yaman: yeah. i think you might need to forward the apckets to you else i wouldnt be able to reach you === Charitwo is now known as Harry_Potter [03:56] shree_: it's for NTFS disk read/write capacity in the Linux kern [03:56] kk, izinux; to let U know I am at the directory the file was generated into [03:56] shree_: this should work but i don't know y [03:56] What then? [03:56] hey im trying the cp command and it say i dont have permission, then i try the su command to get access and it say authentication fails, why so? [03:56] ok, I'll give that a shot, hold on [03:56] montpelie, include the path anyway.. just to eliminate that issue [03:57] flameon, you can try pulling the CMOS battery and waiting a couple of days, but any BIOS security that was worth implementing in the first place won't be vulnerable to that [03:57] kk [03:57] Flannel I don't see how to add things in the repos - when I click "add" it takes me to my local file system. Would the package used to install gtkpod still be on my machine somewhere? How would I indicate to add something in the repos that is not on my local machine? [03:57] hi [03:57] I am unable to access my external Harddisk, I am encountering an error saying "Cannot mount volume". Please help [03:57] yaman: see when a packet comes to the router with that ip address that you mentioned, it will not know to whom it shoudl be sent and hence will be discarded [03:57] bmharsha, how is your external drive formatted? [03:57] izinux same thing === Harry_Potter is now known as Charitwo [03:57] yaman: if you forward i will be able to reach you at that ip address [03:57] bmharsha: what filesystem is your external HD? [03:57] croddy: It is an NTFS partition. [03:57] afallenhope: I hear ya.. :) [03:58] if windows isn't properly shut down (would normally ask you if you want to boot into safe mode), it will not mount normally without being forced [03:58] montpelie, try with a different file... like xorg.conf.. same address I gave you earlier.. [03:58] bmharsha, do you have ntfs-3g installed? you will need it [03:58] croddy... i didt steel it, my little brother put the damn pawssord on it by accident, and my mom got it from the school she used to work at... the laptop was donated so i dont know who its registered to [03:58] bmharsha: do you have ntfs-3g installed? [03:58] shree_: i am not under a router i am not using a dsl it's only a dialup old hsfmodem [03:58] croddy: Yes [03:58]  babolat: yes [03:58] russ: Hmm, it seems it doesn't download for you. Alright, well, you can use apt-get -d install [packages], that'll download packages without installing, then aptonCD can find them [03:58] flameon, i was only kidding. try again to recover the password from your brother and then try pulling the CMOS battery [03:58] i did pull the cmos battery for 4 days, and it didnt clear cuz its NVRAM [03:58] yaman: try ifconfig. you wouldnt have this ip address assigned to you [03:59] shree_: i connect with ppl on windows some times but this is the first time i try on the linux also like you thats y i can't guess what is the problem [03:59] oh well then you're out of options i guess, sorry, it's bricked [03:59] ok izinux, that came up with a number at the end, but the thing is, why is it not working with a file other than xorg.conf [03:59] bmharsha: try mounting the volume via the terminal [03:59] my lil bro was just messing with the keys... he dont know himself [03:59] does anyone have any experience in getting intel 4965agn working with advanced wireless auth like 802.1x or LEAP? [03:59] shree_:inet addr:90.153.218.109 P-t-P:10.10.10.4 Mask:255.255.255.255 [03:59] babolat: how do I do that? [03:59] i know there is a little circuit you can build that cracks some revisions of thinkpad BIOS passwords but this is now off topic and we have exhausted all avenues flameon [04:00] yaman: hmmm [04:00] "Lil" is correctly spelled "little", flameon. [04:00] shree_: i hate only the connections on the linux lol [04:00] when i'm doing ls -s its not showing the complete list of files [04:00] croddy: yes I have installed ntfs-3g [04:00] hey i need to access the root directory, and i type in su in the terminal window, and type in password but it say authentication fails, why? i only set 1 password throughout installation. [04:00] bmharsha: might help -->http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-633002.html [04:00] ls -a [04:01] how can i list all files using ls [04:01] bmharsha : open a terminal (applications, terminal), type "df", and see if your drive is listed.... look for the path to the device listed (example : /dev/sda1) [04:01] bmharsha, i think your ntfs partition was uncleanly unmounted -- someone here earlier mentioned a way to reset the clean unmount flag, but i don't know it [04:01] Hestv4: Ubuntu doesn't use su [04:01] how do you unzip in Ubuntu... This command "tar -xzvf" is only for tar files... [04:01] Hestv4: by default, you can use sudo su [04:01] Ububegin, unzip [04:01] yaman: i should tell you that I had problems earlier with drivers on fedora but Hardy was like damn easy [04:01] Hestv4: this is done to prevent people from forgetting the root password [04:01] sorry basson... i didnt know you were OCD as well as particular about spelling [04:01] HI [04:01] how do i unpack a download source code? [04:01] yaman: i have installed it thrice already, mainly bcoz i keep tinkering with it always [04:02] Flannel ok I've made a note of that and will give it a try. But a more general question apropos of the problem is this: what happens to a package once you install it? One of the packages APTonCD finds is emacs21 which is about the first thing I ever installed, but doesn't find a dozen or more packages I installed later. What gives? [04:02] shree_: no problem shree thanx i don't want to waste your time on the linux i am really happy that you tried to help me i ll try to find a way to remove the bad installation if it didn't work i ll reinstall the hardy again [04:02] which compressor was the file shrunk with UBubegin?? [04:02] flameon: i haven't used this tactic in years, but some boards would lose the password with a BIOS flash [04:02] mookinator1313 it depends on how it is compressed [04:02] hello all, 8.04 fresh install on a dell latitude d820. I'm having a problem with alsa/sound. on a fresh restart I'm able to play a movie with mplayer and everything is fine, it's an mpeg from a myth box so vlc speeds it up, etc... I just closed mplayer and went to start another one and it stops after about .5 seconds and no other application has any sound output [04:02] yaman: one thing i would try is [04:02] ~ [04:02] croddy: merci, dude.. didnt even know .. I had *unzip* [04:02] !sudo > hieu [04:02] im trying to make my wireless work faster than 5mbps [04:02] shree_: ? [04:02] Croddy... can we chat really quick on private [04:02] yaman: uninstall the hardware drivers [04:02] what up [04:02] Flannel in other words, what causes a package to depart from my "apt-cache"? [04:02] yaman: application [04:03] flameon i am out of ideas, so no [04:03] and im stuck at a step in the tutorial, because its a little out dated, and i dont know the language [04:03] hieu: sorry, I had the wrong nick [04:03] russ: /var/cache/apt/archives, and you can clean them with apt-get clean or apt-get autoclean [04:03] yaman: remove any remnants of the ndiswrapper method, if you had tried [04:03] hieu: sudo is how you get root access on Ubuntu [04:03] oh, what's with the sudo command? [04:03] Croddy, about the circut u told me about.... [04:03] hieu: sudo is like su, but it uses your normal password [04:03] !ot | flameon [04:03] flameon: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:03] found something izinucs???? [04:03] yaman: i had tried ndiswrapper on GNOME, but didnt get it right [04:03] oh ok [04:03] shree_: ah [04:03] hieu: it's better for most people because a lot of people forget their root passwords [04:03] yaman: i later tried this method and it worked in a flasj [04:04] shree_: i ll do it [04:04] mookinator1313 are you compiling userland or kernel/modules source? [04:04] yaman: after a reinstall when i tried this method it did work [04:04] so is the root password the password of hte first user created? [04:04] SuperQ, how does this work out when you hose the sudoers file? [04:04] hieu: no, the root password is disabled [04:04] shree_: ok i ll try it now [04:04] yaman: after removing both install the hardware drivers again [04:04] uhh, i dont know what that means, so im just gonna say im stuck at step 3.2 in this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4894088 [04:04] croddy: you boot to Recovery Mode, and it will give you root prompt with no password [04:04] is the ICH7 audio chip family blacklisted in gutsy? [04:04] montpelie, could just be that file .. you might try to copy it to the desktop then rename it to something more simple. [04:04] nassty [04:05] yaman: until you get the led on after boot, i dont think you can suspect anythign else [04:05] croddy: not really [04:05] croddy: Don't hose the sudoers file, always edit it with visudo [04:05] Flannel Kool - so if I do apt-get -d install [xxx] it grabs package xxx and puts it in there without installing? [04:05] shree_: ok , do you have a laptop ? [04:05] i'm gonna keep doing sudo passwd root immediately after installing [04:05] russ: right [04:05] i like it like that [04:05] k [04:05] croddy: why? [04:05] if it's disabled then how am i using it? [04:05] yaman: yeah, dell vostro [04:05] croddy: if I have physical access to your computer, there are 100 ways around a root password [04:05] yaman: i have not had any problem with wlan [04:05] hey ppl can anyone help me with my shell script? http://rafb.net/p/SvT0Io48.html the problem is that the file im running ./server is not inside a folder called server and changing to ./server/server wont work :( [04:05] mookinator1313 it gives the command for using tar to extract the archive [04:05] thanks a million - wonder what caused all those other packages to get "cleaned"? [04:06] mookinator1313 what trouble are you having with the command? [04:06] shree_: thanx shree_ i don't know how to thank you ( can't find a good way ) [04:06] but its not the right command, because the tutorial is for a different version of the driver [04:06] SuperQ, you're welcome to try. bring your twofish books. [04:06] thanks a million Flannel - wonder what caused all those other packages to get "cleaned"? [04:06] croddy: init=/bin/bash [04:06] done [04:06] yaman: i would have been happy to get your problem solved [04:06] :) [04:06] shuuuut [04:06] the same s.....t [04:06] that's only one way [04:06] I have created a custom Ubuntu 8.04 having all specific applications and codecs and media players. Can i distribute it in net? [04:06] izinucs: you there? [04:06] yaman: but i dont know where you are comitting a mistake [04:06] montpelie, k..at this point I'm at a loss. [04:06] Hi, I'm looking for a not-so-heavy IDE but not super light-weight either, any suggestions? [04:06] redwhitewaldo, yep [04:06] I even tried by renaming the file to a txt [04:06] i'm back without the router [04:07] Did you get my messages? [04:07] that's strange [04:07] mookinator1313 then change rt2500-1.1.0-b4.tar.gz to rt2500*.tar.gz that will extract it by pattern (version does not matter) [04:07] shree_: no problem thanx i know too much about windows mcse and vb6 12 years programmer i ll be glad if you want to ask about some thing [04:07] redwhitewaldo, no [04:07] yaman: i can assure you that I dont see any problem with the isntallation [04:07] shree_: was so kind from you [04:07] croddy: having a root password isn't all that usefull [04:07] i can connect with the router, but even the router's Device Status page says that internet is not active. [04:07] what's going on? [04:07] Palm sync success! problem solved by switching device entry from /dev/pilot to usb: [04:07] russ: I'm not too familir with what programs clean automatically. Its possible that synaptic or add/remove does. [04:07] yaman: thanks, i am actually moving over to linux. all the best with yoru attempt [04:07] croddy: if login to that account is disabled [04:08] redwhitewaldo: unregistered and unidentified users cannot send PMs to most users [04:08] redwhitewaldo, what kind of connection do you hve.. cable or dsl or ...? [04:08] izinucs: cable [04:08] shree_: yeah i c its really the best i am moving also thanx [04:08] Starnestommy: oh, i'm talking about regular messages (not pm). We're trying to fix my router [04:08] shree_: bye [04:08] shree_: thanx [04:08] yaman: bye [04:08] ey all. [04:08] harriseldon: that didnt work either [04:08] hi, my gnome sesion doesnot work after migrate from gusty to hardy, anyone can help me? [04:09] oh [04:09] mookinator1313 what file did you download? what command are you typing in the command line? [04:09] eric: can you be more persise? what doesn't work have you tried creating a new user account? [04:09] redwhitewaldo sometimes cable requires that you clone the mac address of your computer. did you try that in the router settings? [04:09] its the most current cvs on this page: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads [04:10] nakedgoat: i will try it in a console, [04:10] redwhitewaldo, harriseldon has a point [04:10] harriseldon: i didn't touch anything on the router's settings [04:10] i guess i could try that [04:10] croddy: dm-crypt is an ok solution, but even that's been worked around via the non-wiped ram attack [04:10] eric: so x isn't running at all? whats are the errors? [04:10] harriseldon: is that a matter of putting a check in a checkbox? [04:10] redwhitewaldo I do not remember off hand. I have seen the option but never used it. Look through the router documentation [04:11] Hi, is it possible to update to Hardy thruogh the LiveCD [04:11] what happened to the "bulk rename" app? [04:11] redwhitewaldo, it should be a button to push [04:11] leprasmurf: "rename"? [04:11] harriseldon: ok. if it's not a matter of just putting a check, how do i figure out my current (without router) MAC setting [04:11] ... i meant "MAC address" [04:11] hey izinucs, you just let me HIgh and dry man [04:11] mookinator1313 which source did you download? There are 5 versions. [04:11] lol, help me out with it [04:12] nakedgoat: you have right, i made an user, and i logged whit him [04:12] montpelie, been trying... I've exaused all my options... [04:12] eric: working? [04:12] yeah, workinh [04:12] redwhitewaldo, you won't need to know the mac address.. the router will find it by itself [04:12] hello [04:12] eric: super, have a good night. [04:12] it works for him [04:12] buenas noches [04:12] k, del ur bad user [04:13] Flannel: there was a utility (Applications>Accessories>Bulk Rename) which was a gui for bulk renaming. extremely useful when you rip an audio book and are trying to load it onto your mp3 player [04:13] and create ur new user AND USE IT [04:13] can't find it in synaptic either [04:13] izinucs: harriseldon. ok. thanks. i'll do the re-wiring again. [04:13] anyone?, I only have the ubuntu hardy heron livecd, can you only update through the alternate CD? [04:13] i'll be right back. 8-) [04:13] then the trouble is a malforming conf in the other accounts, [04:13] rt2500 cvs [04:13] and stop del; stuff from ur home folder ;) [04:13] redwhitewaldo: System-Administration-NetWork Tools -- choose your device (probably eth0) look at hardware address [04:13] someone that stopping the gnome panel and desktop [04:13] leprasmurf: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rename&searchon=names&suite=hardy§ion=all [04:13] i'm used to rpm, and have read the man pages for dpkg, dselect, and dpkg-deb, i need to know the debian version of rpm -q --requires [04:14] eric: ok, so -- u created a new user and it works fine? and the problem is what? [04:14] harriseldon: i downloaded 2500 cvs [04:14] Jonathan_R: What does rpm -q --requires do? [04:14] Flannel: nvm, I already looked through those and installed a few, none of them are what was in the previous release from what I can see [04:14] its like this [04:14] eric: sorry just trying to clarify [04:15] gonna paste in pastebin Flannel [04:15] any way to get a gconf-using app to reset all its gconf keys to their defaults? [04:15] leprasmurf: Those look to be the same ones that were offered in gutsy [04:15] http://pastebin.com/m8cfcf89 Flannel here ya go [04:15] mookinator1313 then the command should be tar -zxvf /home/yourlogin/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz (replace /home/yourlogin with path of the file) [04:15] brb [04:15] Flannel: and none of them are what was installed by default apparently. [04:16] Jonathan_R: so, just list depends? [04:16] right [04:16] the problem is tha the old users can log in in a gnome sesion, but the desktop is frozen, not work,. This users can log in kde without probklems [04:16] i need the deb equivalent [04:16] with out using apt-get [04:16] Jonathan_R: apt-cache show [package] or apt-cache showpkg [package] [04:16] harriseldon: where should i send the file? [04:16] Jonathan_R: They both offer different information, both include depends (in slightly different formats) [04:16] ok, is there a way to do it with dpkg? [04:17] hey im having trouble with speakers ... i have a 5.1 onboard sound card with 5.1 setup ... all channels work except center speaker [04:17] mookinator: have your performed step 3.1? When you use the tar command it will extract the archive to the current directory [04:17] bizarre problem: every time I try and connect to the router (not mine - 2Wire HomePortal 1000HW using WEP) the router loses its link with DSL [04:17] anybody got any idea why that would be happening? [04:17] hdoaekj [04:17] nakedgoat: the old users can log in in gnome, but their session are not working fine, the desktop not work [04:17] Flannel thanks a lot for your help. === ubuntu_ is now known as kwan [04:18] Jonathan_R: dpkg-deb -I [deb] [04:18] yea, i did step 3.1 [04:18] clear [04:18] ty [04:18] eric: new users work ok? [04:19] mookinator1313 then step 3.2 should work. Do you know where you saved the archive? [04:19] Ubuntu Live Cancelled? [04:19] does anyone know why? [04:19] jaebird: Who said it was? [04:19] does anyone know of ploticus? i'm having trouble to getting pl to be executable [04:20] I got an email from O'Reilly Media [04:20] i was registered [04:20] so Flannel with dpkg, I thought -l was to list the files of a packages [04:20] harriseldon: yea, i have the file browser open to it now [04:20] is there a way to get the configure time options for a package? [04:20] mookinator1313 are you using that full path on the command line with the tar command? [04:20] Jonathan_R: -L [04:21] ok so you said I [04:21] harriseldon: what do you mean? [04:21] We're sorry to tell you that the Ubuntu Live conference, which was scheduled to take place July 21-22 in Portland, OR has been cancelled. We are planning to include some Ubuntu content in the O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) also happening July 21-25 in Portland, Oregon. [04:21] I and l look a lot alike [04:21] Jonathan_R: -I is for info for depends. -L is for listing contents. dpkg -l (lower L) lists packages installed in your system [04:21] hai semua [04:21] jaebird: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here. [04:21] ty Flannel [04:21] mookinator1313 are you getting a specific error with the tar command? what is the path in the file browser for the file? [04:22] Flannel, uh [04:22] hi [04:22] jaebird: This is for support only, not general ubuntu discussion [04:22] izinucs: harriseldon. help [04:22] 8-) [04:22] harriseldon: heh, i seemed to have figured it out, kuz it spat out a whole bunch of stuff i havent seen before [04:22] anybody here? [04:23] Flannel, nice [04:23] yaa [04:23] redwhitewaldo what happened? did you figure out how to clone your mac address? [04:23] how can I set keybindings in compiz to change desktops? [04:23] bazhang, do you know of ploticus? i'm having trouble getting pl to be executable [04:23] harriseldon: no. 8-( [04:23] i have a laptop and a PC running hardy. HOWEVER ... the version of 'unison' ( a cool file sync utility ) are different on each system. on laptop its 2.13.16; on PC its 2.27.57. i've already tried running 'sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist upgrade' ... and the versions of unison are still different! help! [04:24] i took screenshots. would you like to know the ones related to MAC? [04:24] so anybody know why attempting to connect using wep to the router would cause the router to lose its connection to all the other boxes in the house and the DSL line? [04:24] redwhitewaldo sure find a place to paste them and I can take a look [04:24] hello [04:24] jaebird: sorry, I realised we probably should take it somewhere appropriate, but you have more information than anyone here apparently. UDS is going on, so it may take some time for it to trickle down through other channels (planet for instance) [04:25] speak Indonesian please [04:25] does anybody know what would cause network manager to say 'Connection ":1.54" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"?? [04:25] bazhang, do you know of ploticus? i'm having trouble getting pl to be executable [04:25] where do i go to turn the annoying system beep off (what happens when you try to delete and you cant delete anymore) [04:25] does anyone know of ploticus? i'm having trouble to getting pl to be executable [04:25] orudie what have you tried? [04:25] harriseldon, i really dont know how to get it executable [04:26] orudie: chmod +x filename [04:26] anyone know how to set keybindings for desktop switching with compiz? [04:26] i'm looking at this tutorial http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EasyTimeline/installation#Download_Ploticus [04:27] this is the line [04:27] If you can't put the Ploticus executable pl in /usr/local/bin, or any of the other suggested locations, just make sure it's executable [04:27] Hello. I just installed apache and ftp server: apt-get install apache2 AND apt-get install proftpd. The question is: how can I configure the standard folder be /var/www? and how can I enable the permition to create a subdirectory? [04:27] i didnt go to a download link [04:27] orudie where is pl installed? you can run which pl from the command line to see [04:27] i just tried sudo apt-get install ploticus and it worked [04:27] harriseldon, which pl returns nothing [04:28] Photoshop CS2 lags as if it would lag on Vista when I am using it on WINE. Does anyone know of a way to "speed PSCS2?" [04:28] orudie then pl is not in your path. did you install it using apt? [04:28] I just upgraded to 8.04 from 7.10 and network-manager has stopped working. when I run nm-applet from the command line, it gives me a cryptic message about not being able to own something. has anyone else had this proglem? [04:28] harriseldon, yeah [04:28] harriseldon, installed using apt and it seems like it installed fine [04:28] This is primarly with Text editing. [04:28] harriseldon, now im stuck at step 5.1 [04:28] harriseldon, i can do 'which ploticus' and 'ploticus --version' [04:29] can anyone help me? [04:29] anybody know when 8.04 will be ready and stable? [04:29] orudie does that work? Then use that full path in the php file [04:30] harriseldon, yeah, but it doesnt work i cant find pl [04:30] harriseldon: how do i change the code in step 5.1 so it works? [04:30] mookinator1313 the path should depend on the version you installed. If you use ls /root/source you can see the directory name that is correct [04:30] sorry noob question of doom coming up: how do i install my wireless tar.gz drivers? [04:30] mookinator1313 or you can use cd rt25* when you are in /root/source [04:31] mookinator1313 or you can use tab completion. Type cd rt [tab] [04:31] im soo lost [04:31] mookinator1313 are you at the terminal? [04:31] arrgh [04:31] yes [04:32] mookinator what do you get when you type pwd? [04:32] i made it up to step 5.1 in that tutorial i sent you earlier [04:32] Linux is patience but is well worth it [04:32] hey croddy, so after doing everything from the pulseaudio documentation, all of my sound quit altogether... however, i uninstalled that and went back to the way it was, and now i can get the sound working on any application where i can change the audio settings to use ALSA... is there an easier way to set this for everything? [04:32] sure it is krammer_ [04:32] mookinator1313 if you got that far, the cd command should be easy. lol [04:32] Hi, I'm looking for a not-so-heavy IDE but not super light-weight either, any suggestions? [04:33] uhh i just kinda followed exactly what the guy said to do [04:33] I need to get a PCI wireless adapter... what should I look for for Ubuntu compatibility? [04:33] i'm curious if anyone here uses a cisco anyconnect VPN client, mine broke after the SSL/Hardy Heron upgrade [04:33] and i get stuck when his codes are out to date [04:33] mookinator1313. I am trying to help. What is the error you are getting with cd command? [04:33] harriseldon: pls see http://www.bubbleshare.com/album/382754.0fbd91d0d95 for the pics [04:33] Ipass VPN Client [04:33] cd [04:33] morning all [04:33] cd command? wich is that? yes, i really am this nooberish [04:34] mookinator1313, cd means "change directory" [04:34] it's how you move through the filesystem [04:34] can anyone tell me how to install drivers? jesus this is so confusing. [04:34] ok, so what do i type into the terminal? [04:34] Try ultra VNC [04:35] harriseldon: let me know if you can see them ok. [04:35] 8-) [04:35] redwhitewaldo I see the check box! It is on picture 4 (Your ISP requires you to input WAN ethernet Mac) [04:35] croddy did you get that? [04:35] krammer_, i think i tried that in the past, but it was a bit cumbersome [04:35] cdm10, that's what I meant [04:35] i'm just cureious if anyone has had certificate errors since the upgrade really [04:35] harriseldon: what do i type in to the terminal for the cd command? [04:35] yes, i put a check there, which led to Picture 6. Pls see pic 6 [04:36] montpelie: sorry, what? I think I missed your message or something... [04:36] * vitas eyes his xp disk [04:36] mookinator1313, type cd [04:36] can someone please tell me how to navigate to my .wine folder using the terminal??? Is it a hidden directory? I have selected "view hidden filess" from my view menu [04:36] mookinator1313 did you try cd rt25*? [04:36] harriseldon: The MAC address, as in Pic 6 is all filled out, but internet still doesnn't work. 8-( [04:36] j4w4: type cd ~/.wine [04:36] right cdm10, you were talking about some issues with the VPN client [04:36] cdm10 thanks, ill try it, what does the ~ mean? [04:36] montpelie: I was not... I was talking about PCI wireless adapters. [04:36] j4w4: it means your home directory [04:36] montpelie, i had the vpn issue [04:37] cdm10: ok ill try it, thanks [04:37] cd rt25* came up as no file or directory [04:37] ok, what kind of issue, terddy [04:37] cdm10: it worked, thanks. [04:37] j4w4: np [04:37] harriseldon: cd rt25* came up as no file or directory [04:37] redwhitewaldo, you can uncheck the hostname checkbox. When I used cable (5 years) I had to leave the modem unplugged for 10 minutes before switching computers. did you try that? [04:38] mookinator1313 can you give the output of ls rt* [04:38] well, i think i might have a corrupted certificate on file, because when i attempt to connect i get a "Connection attempt has failed due to server certificate problem" [04:38] are hardy backports a good/bad idea? [04:38] harriseldon: i am really really really lost [04:38] unplug/power-off modem, harriseldon? [04:39] i know it says server, but i am able to connect with the annyconnect woftware on my Mac [04:39] the CABLE modem from the internet company, harriseldon? [04:39] harriseldon: how do i give the output of ls rt*? [04:39] mookinator1313 I am trying to have you list the contents of the current directory to find out where the archive was extracted. [04:39] anyone know how to disable the thing where scrolling rotates the desktop cube [04:39] I haven't tried switching off the cable modem, harriseldon. [04:39] redwhitewaldo at this point it cannot make it worse. you can try it [04:39] montpelie, do you have a favorite vpn client? [04:39] oh, i know where it was extracted, it went to /home/mat [04:39] harriseldon: ok. [04:40] herriseldon: it was extracted to /home/mat [04:40] guys my theme is horrible the inside one it looks like windows classic any help [04:40] mookinator1313 if type pwd to print the working directory does it show /home/mat? [04:40] soooooo [04:40] it jsut says /root [04:41] Are there any programs that can be used to try to read a device repeatedly? I have a DVD that isn't reading very well and I want to try to extract all of the data from it. [04:41] harriseldon: it just says /root [04:41] and i have tried almost every theme from gnome.org still no result [04:41] mookinator1313 what was the directory when you issued the tar command? [04:42] tv7494: try clearlooks industrial with murrine windowborders. [04:42] it looks really clean [04:42] harriseldon: root@comp-pwnage:~# [04:42] nvm [04:42] hey room [04:43] anyone help me load up my wireless driver [04:43] harriseldon: root@comp-pwnage:~/source# tar -zxvf /home/mat/rt2500-cvs-daily.tar.gz [04:43] bazhang : sir still no improvement in my theme tried every thing from gnome.org the apllication like start up manager s/w sources the inside theme is horrible like windows classic [04:43] harriseldon: that command, right? [04:43] this is turning out to be a nightmare, and i'm sick of laying on the floor to use my laptop [04:43] mookinator1313 then you need to be in ~/source when you issue the cd command [04:44] how do i get there? [04:44] vitas, do you knoa the chipset on your wireless card? [04:44] mookinator1313 you can issue the cd ~/source command [04:44] hi, i am having some trouble with a USB modem :( it appears that at startup the driver sometimes doesn't find the modem, but if I unplug the modem and plug it back in all is OK :) is the a way of restarting the USB system or something to simulate a device unplug and plug in ? [04:44] HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa [04:44] japa -A [04:44] Alsa_driver: the playback interface doesn't support mmap-based access. [04:44] Can't connect to ALSA [04:44] vitas: me too [04:44] shiet!!!!!! [04:44] mookinator1313 ~ is short for your home directory [04:44] So what if it doesn't support mmap? [04:44] I should still be able to start an application! [04:44] nmap? [04:44] wtf? I installed banshee with the intentions of removing it after using it to do what I wanted (which was to extract the music off of a friend's ipod shuffle). I installed it, couldn't get it to work (appeared to be a dbus issue, bellow the ipod library, didn't have time...), and so sudo aptitude remove'd banshee (I used sudo aptitude install so it would keep track of everything). [04:45] harriseldon: im in ~/source# now [04:45] I downloaded the tar.gz - it's a realtek 8185 [04:45] And now, I start up my window manager, and it's using gnome. I never had gnome installed before. [04:45] i'm in terminal [04:45] Hello, I lost my wireless applet thingy that's in the top panel, is there a way to get it back? [04:45] mookinator1313 then try typing cd rt then hit the tab key without hitting enter [04:45] apallo: hit alt-f2, and type nm-applet [04:45] hy [04:45] harriseldon: now what? [04:45] sd [04:45] apallo: you mean permanently? Have you tried rebooting? [04:45] apallo right click on panel and add [04:46] mkn [04:46] krammer_: if he's talking about networkmanager, it's not that. [04:46] i know [04:46] That app is broken -- it assumes everything can give mmap. [04:46] quit [04:46] It doesn't show up in add... [04:46] apallo: have you tried logging off and back on? [04:46] cdm10: will that fix it permanantly? [04:46] mookinator1313 when you hit tab did it autocomplete the directory? If it did, press enter [04:46] harriseldon: should i press enter after hitting tab? [04:46] trying now, thanks [04:47] brb [04:47] wtf? I installed banshee with the intentions of removing it after using it to do what I wanted (which was to extract the music off of a friend's ipod shuffle). I installed it, couldn't get it to work (appeared to be a dbus issue, bellow the ipod library, didn't have time...), and so sudo aptitude remove'd banshee (I used sudo aptitude install so it would keep track of everything). It's important to know that I don't have gdm, wdm, or xdm (o [04:47] r any equiv) on my computer- I just login in the terminal, and then use 'startx'. This takes me to fluxbox, which is the only window manager I had installed... this time when I typed in 'startx', it took my to a jacked up gnome that has issues. ???? why/how? How do I completely uninstall this intrusion? I tried sudo aptitude remove gnome, and it didn't find anything. [04:47] apallo: it won't, it'll just start it for that session. If it won't come back after logging off and back on, go to System>Preferences>Sessions and we'll go from there. [04:47] mookinator1313 sorry type Mo then tab again to begin the autocomplete for Modules [04:47] harriseldon: ok, now it says root@comp-pwnage:~/source/rt2500-cvs-2008051921# [04:47] mookinator1313 then hit enter [04:47] how do you do the highligt red for answering quesitons [04:47] mookinator1313 then use cd Modules [04:47] has anyone setup kontack (korganizer) to use google calendar? [04:47] krammer_: just say someone's nick, and it'll highlight on their client [04:48] mookinator1313 sorry that was cd Module [04:48] cdm10 [04:48] krammer_: yep, that did it. [04:48] but i dont c the red [04:48] krammer_: but I do. [04:48] ok [04:48] apallo: hey, is it back? [04:49] harriseldon: now im really lost lol, it spat out this: root@comp-pwnage:~/source/rt2500-cvs-2008051921# mo [04:49] modinfo mono mount.fuse mountpoint [04:49] modprobe more mount.ntfs mousetweaks [04:49] module-assistant mount mount.ntfs-3g [04:49] root@comp-pwnage:~/source/rt2500-cvs-2008051921# mo [04:49] cdm10: it didn;t come back [04:49] apallo: alright, go to System>Preferences>Sessions [04:49] goodnite all [04:49] ok izinucs [04:49] http://pastebin.ca/1023475 [04:49] It'd be cool if someone would write a command line utility that would let you pipe output into it and then paste what gets piped to it to a pastebin. [04:50] the problem I got with apt-file update [04:50] levander: ha, that exists [04:50] which kind of ssh key is "better"? DSA or RSA? why? [04:50] levander: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [04:50] torshido: er, are you sure you're talking about ssh? I think DSA is a PGP thing... [04:50] levander, wouldnt be hard, | clipboard [04:50] @ setuid_w00t: sudo apt-get install gddrescue [04:50] harriseldon: did you get that? [04:50] cdm10: Sitting in this channel, I was figuring someone had already written one that sent whatever was piped to it to the specified IRC channel. [04:50] ssh-keygen -t dsa [04:50] How does one restore one's system to it's previous state? [04:51] levander: ha, no, people just copy and paste 'em in, which is bad. [04:51] cdm10: I'm gonna try that one next time I get a chance. Thanks. [04:51] kajo: unless you have a backup, that's not going to happen... [04:51] cdm10: I know, I was trying to make geek humor. [04:51] hmm [04:51] cdm10, did you see my last post? [04:51] would be kinda cool to have a DCC pastebin [04:51] levander: Sorry, I shoulda noticed :) Sorry for the cyber-sarcasm fail. [04:51] cdm10: it is not a gpg thing [04:51] ok i got a quick one for someone [04:52] torshido: ah, sorry, I don't know as much about ssh as I should. [04:52] herriseldon: hello? now what? [04:52] i recently switched over to epiphany web browser, now when i click on links they dont open my web browser [04:52] so, which kind of ssh key is "better"? DSA or RSA? why? [04:52] how do i set it? [04:52] i think DSA is newer [04:52] not sure though [04:52] I was under the impression that using aptitude to install software would allow one to completely remove everything that was installed by using aptitude to remove it. Is this true or not? [04:52] mookinator1313 then you are on step 5.2 (the actual compilation of the module) [04:53] harriseldon: good news! internet wiith router now works! [04:53] frostwire isn't in the repositories?? [04:53] kajo: try sudo apt-get autoremove [04:53] harriseldon: after powering off computer and modem for a few minutes [04:53] redwhitewald1 excellent that is good to hear [04:53] apallo: still there? [04:53] wrong channel, bye [04:53] cdm10, what do you mean? What is that?? What would that try to do? [04:53] harriseldon: but now I don't know what is the solution: was it the MAC thing, the modem off thing, or the computer off thing? [04:53] redwhitewald1, there was probably an arp issue [04:53] solved by a 60 second timeout [04:54] kajo: it would try to remove everything that was installed as a dependency and is no longer needed.

[06:05] Dillizar if that's what you want, the windows to burn themselfs off the screen, it's under animations [06:05] can anyone tell me how to write a script that will stop a command returned from ps? I'm piping to a grep to find it, and it always returns the grep command itself so i'm not sure how to be sure i'm killing the right one [06:05] Starnestommy: graphical [06:06] MasterShrek, Not that either but it does alternate the screen that shows the alt-tab line-up. [06:06] dave11: if you dont find any software for linux that are like pingplotter you can always try to wine the original [06:06] hi guys...i have a display problem after installing nvidia driver. problem is the default display is set to the ext output instead of the lcd screen. no luck with screens and graphics either. :( im using geforce2 go, on ubuntu 7.10 installed with restricted drivers mangr [06:07] zChris: heard too many nightmare stories about that [06:07] <___Alex___> I'm on ubuntu 8.04 right now and was wondering if I switched to kubuntu or xubuntu, would stability improve? Or should I consider going to 7.10 instead? [06:07] wine is negative energy [06:07] dave11: weird, one guy says it works absolutly fine under wine [06:07] nickrud: wine is doing a great job :< [06:08] MasterShrek, zChris It wa sthe expo effect in compiz Super+E (which is windows+E for me.) Had to install compizconfig-settings-manager and run ccsm to find it. [06:08] zChris it always bites my butt, and I don't have the inclination to tweak it. I run a vm instead. [06:08] zChris: just dont want mix windows with linux, creaps me out..:) [06:08] dave11: i just use it to play games [06:09] windows on linux? thats cool [06:09] yes :) [06:09] tieTYT2-> what is your command line? [06:09] bash [06:09] or you mean the command i use? [06:09] ps aux | grep java [06:09] makes it feal dirty [06:09] lol [06:10] * nickrud agrees with dave11 , like totally [06:10] !who | tieTYT2 [06:10] tieTYT2: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:10] lol [06:10] i was talking to amenado [06:10] tieTYT2-> well put my nick on the front, so i would be able to follow [06:10] Is rebuilding the initramfs the last thing a do-release-upgrade command does? [06:10] amenado: do you want me to repeat? [06:11] ?me thinks nickrud=cool [06:11] tieTYT2-> yes [06:11] hi guys...i have a display problem after installing nvidia driver. problem is the default display is set to the ext output instead of the lcd screen. no luck with screens and graphics either. :( im using geforce2 go, on ubuntu 7.10 installed nvidia with restricted drivers mangr [06:11] amenado: or you mean the command i use? ps aux | grep java [06:11] eclipse23: you 100 sure it is on the ext ? [06:12] tieTYT2-> and that gives you how many lines? ie how many processes that has java on it? [06:12] Heyy, I really need some help... [06:12] tieTYT2 if you know you're looking for java, you might try pidof java [06:12] twiztr : with what? [06:12] amenado: it gives me 2 [06:13] My 160 GB harddrive is about to fail, so I got a new 250 GB drive, but they are both SATA, and I only have two sata cables (my DVD is sata too), so i cant boot to a norton ghost CD and clone the failing CD [06:13] nickrud: sweet, i didn't know that existed [06:13] that works perfectly [06:13] so i need to know how to make an exact copy of one partition on the drive im on now [06:13] to the other one [06:13] zChris: yes...under screens and graphics the 1st monitor is the lcd. but nothing appears in the lcd so i connected another ext monitor and the screen appears there instead. i cant seem to get the laptop screen to be default [06:13] without the need for a CD [06:14] what is a good iTunes-like MP3 player? [06:14] and my hard drive can fail at any second, theoretically. [06:14] hi, i am having some trouble with a USB modem :( it appears that at startup the driver sometimes doesn't find the modem, but if I unplug the modem and plug it back in all is OK :) is the a way of restarting the USB system or something to simulate a device unplug and plug in ? [06:14] forgive me if this is a simple question...but im trying to copy the symlinks in /etc/fonts/conf.d to a USB drive...and I can't find the option to 'cp' to do so [06:14] ideal would be one that can read an iTunes Library XML file [06:14] seems like I would just use another PC, or a USB drive cable. [06:14] eclipse23: hmm sorry cant really help ya :/ [06:14] so, any one have any ideas? [06:14] I'm sure these guys have a better idea. [06:14] twiztr: install the 250gb and install an OS on that one, plug in the first sata and ghost it ? [06:15] crazy huh [06:15] zChris: thanks bro...well worse come to worst ill just switch back to vesa :( [06:15] eclipse23: so it works in vesa `? [06:15] thanks guys [06:15] zchris: problem is only after installing the nvidia driver [06:15] tieTYT2-> also you can pipe it to grep -v grep to remove the last grep on the result [06:15] eclipse23: have you checked xorg.conf for hints ? [06:16] can anyone help me with my laptop, when I plug in my headphones the main speakers don't go off [06:16] duct tape [06:16] Anyone here got any experience with getting connected to the net in China?

If you have any login anywhere, the group change won't get recognized [06:19] zchris: whats that? sorry im new to ubuntu [06:19] !pastebin [06:19] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:20] nickrud i log out to the login page [06:20] no sessions still running [06:20] I'm on windows XP and currently downloading the iso image for ubuntu, but now facing a problem: I have no program to burn this onto a CD. does someone know a free burning program or a trail version of a commercial one that will burn that bootable iso image onto a CD for me? [06:20] I know plenty of free cd burning programs for linux but not a single one for windows o.O [06:20] Yarcanox: virtualbox [06:20] pyro17_ try clt-alt-f2, log in there, then sudo adduser XXXX adm , then do the logout/in thing there (faster turnaround on troubleshooting) [06:21] cdburnerxp [06:21] yarcanox:nero [06:21] Yarakyo: imgburn ?

[06:22] are there any really good directions on replacing Firefox in ubuntu? I'd like to get rid of the FF3.0b5, and use rc1 [06:23] nakedgoat:corona is good [06:23] eclipse23: well i can see it :P [06:23] Si si [06:23] nickrud says im not on the sudoers list O_O [06:23] back to topic ;) [06:23] How come some packages will only update in the graphical package manager, but not in apt-get in the console? [06:23] SkiddyFisk, sometimes you have to sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [06:23] zchris: so us cant see my post just now? the long one? [06:23] SkiddyFisk: your sources? can you elaborate? [06:23] hi, i found 1 of the mirror for package has been down, is there any command for me to ask apt-get to choose another mirror? or i have to edit the configuration file [06:24] pyro17_ aha! [06:24] eclipse23: where? give me the link [06:24] u007: tried man ? [06:24] Hi. I set up a bind server. stop working. syslog = unexpected RCODE (refused) 209.61.242.77#53. is that because my domain is unregister for now and I got kick ? anyway a restart make it work again, I just don't like window like troubleshooting [06:24] * Yarcanox is already excited about installing and running new ubuntu in half an hour :) [06:24] zchris: im lost...nvm [06:24] SkiddyFisk like what? That's not right ... [06:24] nickrud but i used the live cd to manually add myself to the admin [06:25] eclipse23: you use pastebin to paste text there for other to see [06:25] Anyone? Replace the distributed Firefox with that of Firefox rc1? [06:25] pyro17_: did chroot to the ubuntu on the hd ? [06:25] bpat1434, we'll probably get the update pretty soon.. [06:26] bah [06:26] Hi room [06:26] good evneing [06:26] bpat1434 what about apt-removing the old/current firefox and make/install the new one? [06:26] pyro17_ something went wrong in your add then. I'd suggest booting in recovery mode (hit esc when you see something about grub on boot) and running adduser XXXX admin to make sure it takes properly [06:26] at least that's the way I replaced wine [06:26] i am ubuntu latest and i have a iso cd which is created on debian [06:26] yarcanox: I've read that it would break some things in ubuntu that rely upon the gecko rendering engine [06:26] zChris i mounted the hdb1 and then edited /etc/group [06:26] zchris: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13416/ <--is this it? [06:26] scunizi: I'd rather get all updates, not just security updates [06:26] oh ok. so you have to ask someone else then =P [06:26] O my G0d! [06:26] lol [06:27] Hey- just looking for some guidance here, I updated to the latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop, and after the update my wireless card won't work. [06:27] eclipse23: the idea was that you should pastebin your xorg.conf :) [06:27] nickrud will adduser be bad if the user already exists [06:27] ;P [06:27] shadowimmage: restricted drivers? [06:27] nickrud: I just installed a fresh system of 7.04 and did a full apt-get update, then upgrade. after I finished that there was still a bunch of ssl and libssl type stuff that wouldn't update unless I went for the little tray icon [06:28] bpat1434: The updates will take a little while for firefox, because its currently UDS, but the repos will be updated soon [06:28] bpat1434: I wasn't using any before in the last version before 8.04 [06:28] the ISO is binded to work cdrom on /dev/hdc but my computer doesnt have /dev/hdc. I have /dev/hdb so i want to change the ISO content from /dev/hdc to /dev/hdb so i can use that ISO image and install on my computer. Do you think mounting the ISO and changing the content and creating ISO with changed files should work ? [06:28] I have installed KDE4 and after some time firefox freezed and I reboot it manualy...

[06:28] sladjan: Try #kubuntu for KDE4 help (they may redirect you to #kubuntu-kde4) [06:28] SkiddyFisk the guys that mentioned apt-get dist-upgrade probably were on the right trail then [06:29] zchris: im on it...hahaha that was a bimbo mistake ill copy the xorg [06:29] nickrud: weird. well, update manager did it anyway. I was just curious. [06:29] amenado: I'm in China now, using GNU/Linux of course. [06:29] how to reinstall my videocard as was in default instalation??? [06:29] bpat1434: So even though the ubuntu site says that my card should work under airo or airo_cs I should get the Broadcom? [06:29] joelsolanki: how the hell did you end up binding your cdrom to /dev/hdc ? [06:30] sigh [06:30] bpat1434: or at least try? [06:30] shadowimmage: no. My card is a Broadcom card, I was just offering a suggestion [06:30] as to what the cause may be [06:30] I have installed KDE4 and after some time firefox freezed and I reboot it manualy...

[07:07] only i am using the S3 UniChrome Pro (vn800) video card [07:07] minusidea: did u find any solution? [07:08] I've had that problem minusidea/suthesan [07:08] no i've been searching the forums, the only thing I did see as a possible solution is to modify your xconfig file [07:08] Not on my laptop, but on my desktop. The resolution is stuck, correct? [07:08] right [07:08] yea [07:08] Hello? [07:08] when i go to settings it only shows 640x480 [07:09] yea [07:09] If you go to your display thing.. does it only have like one resolution listed and one refresh rate?

Mainly- how is it superior to any other chat software and what secret abilities allow people to share files and programs through it? [07:10] My brother, for instance, had some IRC channel through which he found anime episodes. How does that work? [07:10] Trust me, I will.. my question hasn't been answered, I know the feeling. It doesn't mean I'm not looking though. I'll spend 3 hours if that's what it takes. It helps me learn too [07:10] :) [07:10] I was just saying though, I was literally right about to run an install [07:10] but I'll see if I can put it off [07:11] you guys might try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [07:11] hello i need some help i added a external hd to samba and i used the chmod 077 comand for it and now i dont have network or net access any ideas?

[08:01] Wolf23, care to explain? [08:01] I tried to install Ubuntu on flash drive. When booted, Grub said error 17. [08:02] Found out you had to go in and edit menu.lst [08:02] Wolf23, sorry wrong nick [08:02] So I booted from the CD and edited the menu.lst in the flash drive. [08:02] wolfwalker, you installed on usb or put live cdversion on usb? [08:02] Or tried to....... when I tried to save changes, it said I didn't have permission to. [08:02] Installed on usb [08:03] wolfwalker, you have to open with sudo gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [08:03] Can I do that a GUI way? [08:03] whats a good package for an ssh/scp server [08:03] theres too many to choose from [08:03] montpelie: the maker is TP-LINK, and it is a usb :> I think if you could show me how to install the zd1211rw driver, i think it'll work cuz when i was running off liveCD that was the wireless driver it used [08:03] wolfwalker, just copy and paste that line into a terminal it will bring up a gui text editor === stunatra_ is now known as stunatra [08:04] With the spaces between sudo and gksudo? [08:04] wolfwalker: you can use sudo nautilus [08:04] montpelie, i almost forgot, thx so much for your attention to my question =D [08:04] no problem [08:04] wolfwalker, start at 'gksudo [08:04] Ah [08:05] bodsda: i dont know what to do after the openvpn connects on linux [08:05] wolfwalker: that command would open nautilus in super-user mode [08:05] on windows i can just go to a computer \\fserv or something [08:05] on linux i try ping fserv and it doesnt work, it works on windows [08:05] ok kwan, is seems that you can find the source by doing aptitude search zb1211 [08:05] hi guys [08:05] montpelie: man... i've been up since i dunno when... I finally successfully installed ubuntu on raid set, felt great. If you could help me get the wireless usb working.

Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids.

(need to cos my sound card is xfi) [08:10] wolfwalker, remind me what your attempting to achieve? [08:11] Have Ubuntu installed on a flash drive. Standard install, just chose the flash drive at the disk select step. [08:11] oh yeah [08:11] Have Grub installed on the flash drive's MBR, and BIOS set to boot from USB flash before hard drive. [08:11] wolfwalker, why didnt it work? error 17 still? [08:12] Grub keeps giving error 17, yes.

But i guess compat-wireless is some crazy linux wireless subsystem. anyways let me install the headers =D [08:43] alzamabar_: one possible way would to boot up using a live cd. mount your current ubuntu, then chmod from there.

[08:44] goooody [08:44] db92, like the model number off the box.

I used an old win98 floppy to wipe the old partition (which would boot before I wiped it), I also made a new one (which is empty). I had tried installing before wiping the old partition as well and encountered the same problem. If it makes any difference the old partition was Kubuntu 7.04 [08:53] montpelie: what do you mean about that original input sir? [08:54] is there a way to disable the creation of thumbnails in .thumbnails folder?

[08:54] montpelie: i don't see any file containing that filename. [08:55] kwan, you may want to try downloading the tarball into a USB, and plug it into the other computer, then follow the instructions provided on the page I sent you [08:55] r00tintheb0x: yup [08:55] By default, does vlc stream on udp or tcp? [08:56] db92, is your sound card a PCI-E? [08:56] When using http as a stream [08:56] r00tintheb0x: yup, last time i checked [08:56] Ok [08:56] gooody try by doing this "sudo updatedb | locate input.c" [08:56] Dont be a smart (_|_) [08:57] so we know where the file to be patched is located at [08:57] rofl [08:57] :P [08:57] db92, from what im reading it doesn't seem to want to work with OSS also. [08:58] idno, every guide ive found seems to say it works with oss [08:58] montpelie yea. i do have a jump drive handy but right now i'm still having problems with the "Software Sources" its still trying to connec to security.ubuntu.com. I'm under the Ubuntu Software tabs right now, and the only checkbox checked is "Cdrom with UBunutu 8.04 'Hardy Heron'" [08:58] db92, could you link me? [08:58] still worth trying, if it works ill at least finally get rid of the annoying pc speaker sound :p [08:58] why this with rm -rf tmp? [08:58] rm: cannot remove directory `tmp/jdk1.5.0_10/bin': File exists [08:59] ok, kwan, you need to click on reload, so the system knows which repositories are to be used [08:59] True db92... im not finding out much info on installing OSS either. [08:59] it'd be much easier if you can get an ethernet cable though [08:59] You may have to compile it from source. [08:59] r00tintheb0x: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571656 afaik [08:59] montpelie: it returns a different file [08:59] * r00tintheb0x looks [08:59] although it is somewhat outdated :p [09:00] montpelie you know what? i'm just gonna go comment out everything in sources.list myself [09:00] that should do it [09:00] db92, have you followed the guide to install OSS yet? [09:00] kk kwan [09:00] for sure [09:00] montpelie: /usr/share/doc/libgtk1.2-dev/examples/testinput.c.gz [09:00] did, but there was always something running from alsa [09:00] which file, gooody; the patch you sent me seems to be a patch for xmms [09:00] something called saa7134_alsa and snd_pcm that prevented it from working [09:01] db92, join the channel #r00tintheb0x [09:01] at the very top of it, the filename's been specified, therefore you should have the source of the xmms package, right??? [09:01] montpelie: yup, it's for xmms but it seems like my installed xmms is of different version than the plugin that i want to install [09:02] Blah, nevermind. [09:02] Good luck, you move too slow.; [09:02] You obviously have it handled. [09:02] o0 [09:03] Did you do step 3 here db92 ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4874981&postcount=2 [09:03] ok, gooody and where did you get that patch from, you should be able to get the 1.2.10 version of XMMS from the same place [09:03] ive done everything as it says [09:03] can anyone help me? [09:03] but obviously something was still running :p [09:03] Depends [09:03] I'm trying to install Ubuntu but the built in partitioner won't detect the HD. I used an old win98 floppy to wipe the old partition (which would boot before I wiped it), I also made a new one (which is empty). I had tried installing before wiping the old partition as well and encountered the same problem. Gparted won't detect the drive either. [09:04] i deleted my eth0 connection some how. how can i restore it to the live cd state-- thats when it worked [09:04] montpelie: ok thanks for the help. i'll try to search for that xmms version. [09:04] anyone got time to help? [09:05] ok, gooody, you may wanna take a look at http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php [09:05] montpelie, are you sure the linux header is on the liveCD?? [09:05] first [09:06] db92, im SURE I could do it man. [09:06] You need to make sure GDM is stopped... then kill all the alsa procs. [09:06] * r00tintheb0x shrugs [09:06] montpelie: thank's for the link. [09:06] the second step [09:06] tells you to remove alsa [09:07] Okay, when you paste the command... what's it tell you? [09:07] what im saying is that alsa isnt getting fully removed and some procs are still running :P [09:07] PASTE it to me. [09:07] http://pastebin.ca [09:08] daddyo23: how'd u 'delete' it? [09:08] no problem gooody, I think it'd be much easier by uninstalling the version you have, downloading the XMMS source from that page which is actually the newest version, and possibly there will be no need for you to patch after that [09:08] db92, if you want to continue this... /join #r00tintheb0x [09:08] I have BAD ADD and i cant concentrate over this "Cross talk" [09:10] db92: alsa problems? (just coming in, or looking) [09:10] Hey [09:11] mkquist: x-fi problems [09:11] therefore, alsa :P [09:11] <_julian_> hi all [09:11] I downloaded Ubuntu yesterday and wrote it to a CD-RW. It shows the boot screen and everything, but when I say boot or install or check disk, it says "error reading boot disk" [09:12] db92: well you could look here if you havent, it usually 'fixes' my sound problems.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 not sure on x-fi tho... [09:12] Is this because its a CD-RW? Or could my download be corrupy? [09:12] <_julian_> is it somehow possible to remove installed libxine and replace it with a custom built one without removing all programs depending on libxine and recompile them too? [09:12] Dark-Fx, did you finalise the disk ? [09:12] montpelie: ok. thanks for the information. [09:12] GibbaTheHutt, Its a Re-writable CD. [09:13] yeah just ive known some people have problems using cd's not finalised to boot from [09:13] which get stuck round about where yours sounds to have [09:13] try a normal cd and finalise it ? [09:13] _julian_: use checkinstall to create a deb. [09:13] kwan, it's in the cd, just found it [09:14] mkquist: no need, its a guide full of alsa details [09:14] Hi, is there a way to download userful from ubuntu 7.04 64bit, <-- the desktop multiplier? [09:14] mkquist: on the alsa site its said that my card is simply incompatible [09:14] what is the correct chmod option to make an index.html accessable on a apache server ? [09:14] Sure, ill try, Just dont wanne waist up my CD's :P [09:14] <_julian_> void^: can you point me to some documentation/howto? [09:14] Dark_Fire, check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded and compare it [09:14] where can i download desktop multiplier and how? ty [09:14] I've perfected a random number generator for Debianm here goes [09:15] 9...9....9....9.....9....9....9 [09:15] julle_ 750 I guess [09:15] I just tried to install ubuntu using the alternate install disc (8.04) [09:15] nick kwan === fongkwan_ is now known as kwan [09:15] which worked fine until it discovered some trashed files on the CD while writing the basic installation of the system on the hard disk [09:15] how can I tell this stupid installer to download those files from the web?? [09:15] _julian_: it's pretty simple, just checkinstall make install, instead of make install. i'm sure there's a lot of documentation out there, for details. [09:15] has any1 of u already tried to install desktop multiplier in ubuntu 7.04 64bit? :) [09:16] <_julian_> void^: cool, thank you (c: [09:16] the network is established (just normal DSL ethernet router) and if that thing just downloaded the trashed files, everything would be fine [09:16] so why doesn't it just do that? [09:16] i did something bad...now tell me how to recover....i did echo "hello" > /etc/fstab [09:16] montpelie, the only entry in my sources.list is: deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted [09:17] or what do I need to do so it finally does this? [09:17] and lost everything in /etc/fstab....now how can i recover? [09:17] lol [09:17] KazaLite, "ls -al /etc/fstab*" [09:17] kazalite, livecd might be useful [09:17] See if there's a backup [09:18] montpelie, yet i can't seem to find the "linux-headers-2.6.24-16-386" package [09:18] kazalite you will sutn need another fstab file, boot of a live disc and copy one from a live session to a mamory stick, then copy it back to the destinatin [09:18] hello, is there a way to override license acceptance when install with apt-get (force yes on all questions) [09:18] Is there a way to show additional partitions in the gnome file dialogs? Are they bookmarks maybe? [09:18] uhhmm, kwan, try by doing apt-get update first [09:19] So when I click open / save / etc, alongside Home, Desktop, File System, I would also like Data (/data) [09:19] then uname -r [09:19] does someone know where to get the netinstall disk then? *sigh* [09:19] i did it like 30 times [09:19] it should come up with the kernel version you are currently using [09:19] :'(.......no backup file....... [09:19] should i use nvidia-glx-envy or nvidia-glx? [09:19] so I don't have to download all the 600 mb again just because of 20 small files! [09:19] apt-cache linux-headers ??????????, [09:20] is there really no way to tell the default installer to download files from the net in case they can't be read from the disk? [09:20] apt-cache search linux-headers [09:20] kaza lite you wont need a backup file just use the live disc which will generate one dynamicly [09:20] or nvidia-glx-new-envy? [09:20] Yarcanox I'm pretty sure you're SOL [09:20] what's that o.O [09:20] but if i shutdown my system and get file from live cd...then on re-boot, nothing would be auto-mounted...right? i just mount my usb flash drive and then mount "/" by myself and then copt fstab file. [09:20] right? [09:20] never heard that abbreviation :) [09:21] Yarcanox: SOL=s**t out of luck [09:21] kazalite mount your hard drive in the live session and copy it over before rebooting, [09:21] so does anyone knows how to override console interaction when installing deb packages with apt-get ? [09:21] do i still fxload for hotplugging my tascam US-122 as mentioned on alsa wiki and ubuntu forums? [09:21] Mantan you want to tell me that there is no way to make the default installer download them out of the net? O_O [09:21] hi there [09:21] aurax, override? [09:22] there's a netinstall disk that does the same, and the default installer even asks for net mirrors _AFTER_ setting up the default system [09:22] kazalite i find it strange that someone who knows what echo "hello" > /etc/fstab would do would be asking these questions [09:22] anyone using virtual box on hardy [09:22] so why can't it just access them before? O_O it even configures the network - for what? for _not_ using it? [09:22] mneptok: It worked [09:22] montpelie, , its got: linux-headers=2.6.24-16, linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic. [09:22] amdxp: i am, why ? [09:22] anyone? [09:22] What might be the reason that rsnapshot last night took more than an hour while at all other days it took 10 mins maximum? [09:22] SFauconnier yeah override... it ask's for license acceptance, i want to override it [09:22] Hi, need help with a security issue. How can I chmod /etc/sudoers after I've change it by mistake? [09:22] douye anyway i can change the Ctrl down hotkey [09:22] Hey, any text editors support C++ syntax that are installed with ubuntu (as in coloring. compile options optional)? [09:22] kk, kwan, now do uname -r [09:22] <_julian_> void^: hmm, libxine in ubuntu consists of several splitted packaged how can I just make my one package replace all of them? - I think libxine1 is a metapackage, but somehow I'd need my package to implement that metapackage won't I? [09:22] Can I restart as root? [09:23] admxp: uhm lemme see [09:23] my toshiba doesnt have a right Ctrl button [09:23] 2.6.24-16-386 [09:23] sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic [09:23] alzamabar you can with a live disc [09:23] that should do it [09:23] Hey, any text editors support C++ syntax that are installed with ubuntu desktop 7.04 (as in coloring. compile options optional)? [09:23] AMDXP, interesting question let me check [09:23] amdxp: go to preferences > input [09:23] and when is 7.04 supported till? [09:23] AMDXP, xmodmap? [09:23] koshari, I've tried. It changed it there, but when I logged in again, the sudoers was still in 0775 [09:23] has someone the link to that netinstall disk? [09:23] anyone ? [09:23] amdxp: then highlight the "right control" box [09:24] or does this disk not exist anymore? [09:24] AMDXP, run that in a terminal [09:24] montpelie, was that for me? [09:24] Anyone know? [09:24] vagothcpp, gedit [09:24] amdxp: then press a key you want to use for it, and it will be set [09:24] yesh [09:24] I am really in need of something like this now [09:24] n [09:24] and when is 7.04 supported till? [09:24] nope alzamabar [09:24] ok let me try it right now [09:24] alzamdar did you mount the filesystem and change it on the disk or change it in the ramdisc? [09:24] alzamabar, boot your install in recovery mode and change it there [09:24] its already installed [09:24] AMDXP, File -> Preferences -> Input to change [09:24] and when is 7.04 supported till? [09:24] I can't find the net install disk on ubuntu.com and on google I get just some netboot stuff [09:25] is there a net install disk? if yes, where can I find it? [09:25] and when is 7.04 supported till? [09:25] kwan, you were finally able to install it right?, just download the tarball and do as I suggested [09:25] DracoZA : ty that was it [09:25] montpelie I haven't got the live CD for the version I'm running. I'm running 8.04 (SCSI system) but the live disc is for 7.10. So I couldn't mount the disk. I double clicked on it and it appeared under /media/disk [09:25] thanks for all the help guys/gals [09:25] yarconix a minimal install disc would be a webinstall disk, [09:25] yes [09:25] and when is 7.04 supported till? [09:25] DistroJockey, how do I do that? [09:25] AMDXP, did it work? [09:26] koshari where can I get it?? [09:26] and when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till? [09:26] ? [09:26] I just want to have it and install the system finally o.O [09:26] heymr: yes you can do as he instructed and set any key you like [09:26] without downloading 600 mb again when I just need 200 mb of this crap === spider is now known as Jahid_ [09:26] alzamabar, should be an entry on the grub menu for it, you may have to hit Esc to see the menu when you boot [09:26] and when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till? [09:26] File>>Preferences>>Input [09:26] DistroJockey, thanks. I'll try [09:27] AMDXP, cool. now you should see a change in the output of xmodmap [09:27] koshari I can't find a link on the homepage, so where can I download this minimal install thingy? [09:27] PLEASE, when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till? [09:27] montpelie it was already on the system. IN the instruction, it specificaly asked for linux-headers-2.6.24.16-386 but i guess i might have to give see if the generic one already installed on my system would do the job [09:27] <[LMM]Iowahc> hy there, question to compiz-fusion, before 10 minutes everything worked fine, direct rendering and also the water effect, now i started up and compiz didn't started up, a quick workaround for me was: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &, any suggestions? [09:27] vagothcpp, GOOGLE [09:27] Google times out! [09:27] heymr: now i can delete my XP partition and do a full blown Ubuntu [09:27] and run virtual box for any extra stuff i need [09:27] AMDXP, just that? lol [09:27] AMDXP, COOOLLL :D [09:28] i couldnt before because i didnt know how to switch in and out of virtual box [09:28] oh haha [09:28] anyone. where. can I get the minimal installation.

O_o [09:29] very annoying! [09:29] PLEASE, when is ubuntu desktop 7.04 supported till? === foka_ is now known as foka [09:30] goooody, got the same problem [09:30] with it [09:30] vagothcpp: 18 months after release, so about 5 more [09:30] apt-file update DOES NOT work [09:30] my keyboard is messed up in gnome. how can i fix this? [09:30] ty [09:30] hwdyki probably you got the wrong keyboard layout? [09:31] how can i change the layout? [09:31] I think the command was "sudo dpkg-reconfigure Xorg" or something which prompts the X-server configuration that lets you change it. hm [09:31] when i get my desktop going i can do a full install now [09:31] montpelie: does apt-file still works without the update? [09:31] no, it wasn't Xorg, was something else :/ what was the command for the Xorg-config-util again? hwdyki needs it [09:32] nope gooody, it seems to be a bug [09:32] dpkg -reconfirure? [09:32] hwdyki it's at least sudo dpkg-reconfigure , but I can't remember the name [09:32] someone here must now [09:32] *know [09:32] xorg-xserver [09:32] ah. so it's "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver" :) [09:32] if you google for that issue, it'll return some bug-related pages [09:32] its written at the top of the xorg file [09:33] what's up with firefox 3.0rc1 in 8.04? [09:33] in the remarks [09:33] xorg-xserver is not installed [09:33] montpelie: how sad. is it only unavailable in hardy? [09:33] hwdyki sudo apt-get install xorg [09:33] join #ubuntu-gr [09:33] ups [09:34] my /etc/fstab from live cd is totally different than what i had:'( [09:34] <[LMM]Iowahc> hy there, question to compiz-fusion, before 10 minutes everything worked fine, direct rendering and also the water effect, now i started up and compiz didn't started up, a quick workaround for me was: LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace ccp &, any suggestions? [09:34] kazalit use it as a beginning alnd add the extra lines you want from info you get from gparted. [09:34] Hello. What (cli) tool can I use to display info about a CD in a drive? (type, size, tracks ...) [09:34] hm hwdyki you can also manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the keyboard layout [09:35] yep, gooody, unfortunately [09:35] why is the "check update" option grayed in my firefox beta? is there a way to upgrade to 3.0rc1 with the package manager? [09:35] Hi, I have just installed dapper drake, firefow is really slow. How can i sort this out? [09:35] i'm on vnc. [09:36] some people's been able to get it to work after a looooooot of time [09:36] !ff3rc [09:36] The Firefox 3 RC package is not currently available as most of the Ubuntu-mozilla team is at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Thanks for your patience. [09:36] when i run twm in vnc, the kbd works. but when i run gnome-session, the kbd gets messed up. [09:36] whats gparted? [09:36] !gparted [09:36] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [09:36] i see :/ [09:36] any ideas? [09:36] major suckage [09:36] I dont want firefox3 tho [09:36] montpelie: after this bug is fixed are they going to provide it through updates? [09:37] how would i go about a virtual machine for ubuntu ? [09:37] h0ax: there are multiple virtualistion options, what do you need, [09:37] interzone: Why'd you install dapper? :/ [09:37] ok I'm now out to install it... hope it works this time [09:37] I want to know how to make firefox faster, it is alot slower than other versions [09:37] ikonia: i windows emulator [09:37] Stormx2: cos it was the only boot cd i had about [09:38] h0ax: ok, you want to run a windows VM within an ubuntu host, yes ? [09:38] Oh [09:38] heh [09:38] Couldn't you have burnt another? :/ [09:38] not sure about that, I guess you'll just be able to do apt-file update without a problem [09:38] Stormx2: no cd's [09:38] Well [09:38] ikonia: no sorry, i mean i want to run a live cd within linux [09:38] dont really know gooody [09:38] I don't know why firefox is so slow. [09:38] ikonia: Doesn't hardy have virtualisation of some kind installed by default? [09:38] hello... [09:38] amidaniel: no [09:38] You might want to upgrade to hardy though [09:39] <_julian_> ahh, I accidently removed all kde4-packages by removing libxine - how can I install them again? - is there some metapackage for kde4? [09:39] Oh, thought I read something about that ... *googles* [09:39] h0ax: ok, so y ou want to run a Linux livecd as an operating system, from within an ubuntu host, yes ? [09:39] Stormx2: i had this problem before but it was rectified by updates [09:39] ikonia: yes [09:39] ok. thanks for the info and help. it means a lot to beginners like me. [09:39] amidaniel: there are virtualisation options (such as kvm) built into the ubuntu kernel [09:39] hi all, pls can someone help me. i cannot find any relavant info on google. i cannot mount ANY usb hard drive device. it just suddenly started happening. when i try to manually mount i get mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist [09:39] Ah, maybe that's what I read [09:39] psyp, it doesn't mount automaticly? [09:40] nope [09:40] did you try restarting? [09:40] yup [09:40] h0ax: ok, very straight forward you just need to select a virtualisation technology, configure it and boot it, there are multiple options such as vmware, virtualbox, kvm, xen [09:40] lots [09:40] !virtualisation | howtoo [09:40] howtoo: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [09:40] oops [09:40] was firefox in dapper drake known for being slow?

I cant get ubuntu to detect my graphic card (nvidia 8800gtx) [09:56] hmm, I have an 8800GTS [09:56] and... well... yeah [09:56] !envy [09:56] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [09:56] screw it. [09:56] what the hell? [09:56] i don't get this [09:56] !language [09:57] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[09:57] i just WISH that for once, new things are not added and bugs are actually fixed [09:57] well, First format, Ubuntu goes and puts /home and root on the same partition, and doesnt give me read write access. [09:57] Second format: Grub 17 error without dualbooting [09:58] Third: Wine flat out refuses to work [09:58] psypher246, bugs do get fixed... lol. get a real distro :P [09:58] which one then? [09:59] what's a good general chat room? [09:59] mm chicken [09:59] hello... anyone with a IBM X31 and ubuntu here? :) [09:59] so EnvyNG didnt work, how do I uninstall the drivers it installed? [10:00] Gustov: You could try #defocus for a general chatroom [10:00] thanks dj [10:00] Gustov, or #ubuntu-offtopic [10:00] where can i find the source folder of applications? i need to uninstall self compiled applications. [10:00] dudes I LOOOOOVE ubuntu. it is the shizzness. i am from south africa like Mr Shuttleworth and love the work he's dooing, but i just wish all the annoying things that have been in ubuntu since foreever gets fixed instead of new features being added [10:00] it just seems like irc is only for linux now [10:02] well, I can tell I'd LOVE ubuntu... [10:02] if it worked. [10:02] Gustov: there is pleanty of non linux irc clients [10:02] gooody: that's where you untarred the source code and many apps do not have a make uninstall target so you will have to delete files by hand [10:02] psypher246, great to hear; could you please move it to #ubuntu-offtopic thanks [10:02] so how do I uninstall drivers? [10:02] well.. i mean the theme of every irc room is linux based distros lol [10:02] I kinda just want to talk about life and stuff [10:02] Gustov, this is freenode [10:02] Gustov: No... No, they're not. [10:02] is freenode known for computer chat? [10:02] How do I uninstall bad video drivers? [10:02] what would be a good server for just whatever? [10:02] Gustov: no, there are hundreds of non-linux channels, if you join #freenode you can get advice on how to use your client to search for them [10:02] sam_, installed how [10:02] through EnvyNG [10:02] same use the same tool then [10:02] Gustov: efnet? [10:02] err sam [10:02] efnet.. cool [10:02] thanks [10:03] hmm, EnvyNG has no uninstall feature [10:03] only one server a time though, right? [10:03] weird, usb working fine now???? [10:03] Gustov: Not necessarily. [10:03] so nobody is using ubuntu on a x31? [10:03] Gustov: Not in my client. [10:03] Hi everyone :) [10:03] cybic_: as in the thinkpad ? [10:03] Gustov: Not in most clients, afaik. [10:03] miranda here [10:04] ikonia: yes, a thinkpad x31 [10:04] What might be the reason that rsnapshot last night took more than an hour while at all other days it took 10 mins maximum? [10:04] k i got another ON-topic question. is it possible to speed up the boot process by diabaling hardware autodetection and compiling the drivers you need into the kernel? [10:04] i have an eee pc that takes 2min 15 secs to boot, just not cool [10:04] ikonia: just need an advice, how to get less in power consumtion ;) [10:04] psypher246: yes; i do not think you will gain much but it is possible [10:05] which eeepc and how booted (sd card or other) psypher246 [10:06] either with the built in ssd or an external hdd [10:06] hello im trying to install a software of ubutu server 8... what key should i execute so that i could select all packages like lamp,openssh etc..X key is not working...

What is going on with my raid? [10:08] i have followed all the usual increase boot speed howto's [10:08] erUSUL: done already, still getting about 11,9 Watt [10:08] psypher246, that may work but with the eeepc may also be a hardware limitation they have a channel and wiki as well [10:08] cybic_: http://www.lesswatts.org/ [10:08] do u know the link? [10:08] #eeepc and www.eeeuser.com wiki psypher246 [10:08] yeah been there done all that [10:08] was hoping sumone had some more ideas [10:10] erUSUL: thx [10:12] Hi I would like to give a directory and all it's subdirectories +x permission (with chmod) but without touching the files in the directories. How do I do that? [10:13] I'm on a dual seat rig, and I can't get my machine to mount my camera media [10:13] I used gksu nautilus and it didn't see the camera at all [10:13] f-spot sees it but can't /do/ anything with it [10:13] noone for my raid problem? :) [10:13] anyone know how I get a reading of the state of my laptop battery on the command line?

[10:14] erUSUL: vasi: Thanks! [10:15] Morning everybody. Is there anybody around that can help me with a pppoe and pppd, I need to setup pppoe to use two concentrators. [10:15] ethana2, are the permissions correct on the device? [10:15] Whats the model number of your camera? [10:15] ethana2: have you tried gthumb or gtkam ?? [10:15] uh, I don't know, I don't know, and no [10:15] but I can do some finding out [10:16] Kodak EasyShare C433 [10:16] ethana2, that'd be good. [10:16] probably not [10:16] ok, hold. [10:16] k [10:16] ...and I'll install those two now [10:17] Should I be able to mount and access data on a raid that has the state: clean, Not started? [10:17] how can i uninstall self compiled softwares? [10:18] gooody thats why its a good idea to use chkinstall [10:18] Is it possible to setup pppoe with two concentrators and switching between then when needed ? [10:18] what is the command to install the restricted driver for ati hd2400 please [10:19] gtkam detects no cameras.... [10:19] koshari: sorry but i'm new to linux and not yet familiar with chkinstall. i'm just following instructions from blogs. [10:19] ...aand same with gthumb [10:19] koshari: is there other way to uninstall the software? [10:20] anyone knows how to get the Python hotspot module in ubuntu? [10:20] what is the command to install the restricted driver for ati hd2400 please [10:20] !ati [10:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:21] anyone know tool to manage updates centrally, got 25 ubuntu boxes [10:22] would like to push package updates and also not have all boxes download the updates directly but from a local repo [10:23] gooody was there a log left when you compiled the binarys? [10:23] hi [10:23] can i use the alternate installer CD to install an LVM raid1 with 2x mirrored disks? [10:23] libcrypto.so.0 and libcrypto.so.2 missing [10:23] how can i put it? [10:24] sammyice you want to check out apt-cacher [10:25] koshari: i don't know. where can i find those log files? [10:25] error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [10:25] they would likely be in the directory where you compiled the binarys, how did you install the package? [10:26] how can i install? [10:26] has anybody run captainclaw game in emulation [not virtualisation] softeware? [10:26] hey all ... using ubuntu 8.04 on my new mail server postfix / (dspam/amavis) and neither of them are modifing headers.... when I know that older versions modified headers successfully any ideas? [10:26] i follow this blog "http://blog.sartek.net/2008/04/install-xmms-on-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html". [10:28] r00tintheb0x: I had this problem on the alpha of hardy, I guess I assumed it'd be fixed by now. [10:28] I've got an odd issue. After running something like NWN, even after restarting X, glxgears reports a 700fps drop under my baseline. If I reboot, it's all cool. Windows take forever to draw in, and the system's just really laggy. [10:28] same thing was happening in windows [10:28] r00tintheb0x: should I do a fresh install? [10:29] garrett__: what GPU? [10:29] any way to diagnose this? memtest doesn't report anything, and SMART utils says my disk's fine. any health-report software for video cards? [10:29] ethana2: geforce 4 440gp (32mb) [10:29] goody do you want to remove just the xmms binary or all the dependencies as well? [10:29] garrett__: interesting.... buggy drivers I think [10:29] garrett__: that card probably isn't even supported anymore, is it? [10:29] ethana2: I was using the omega 6693 drivers under windows, and they'd been fine for a year or so. [10:30] hmm [10:30] koshari: including the dependencies [10:30] Does anyone know how to have a wireless NIC connect to a router upon boot? (this is for a headless server, administered via command line) [10:30] garrett__: there probably is some suite of sensors with gpu stuff, but I don't do much like that [10:30] ethana2: hm. i'll keep looking. thanks anyhow [10:30] yeah [10:31] garrett__: I hope it lived a good, full life [10:31] ethana2: it's like almost 6years old at this point :P [10:31] man why is ff3b5 so damn slow :( [10:31] gooody thats not a great idea because other packages may rely on thedependencies, thats why its wise to use a package manager to manage your software, is it causing trouble, porsonally i would live with it, may i ask why you installed it from source rather than getting a deb package? [10:31] ethana2: still sort of surprised it still does what i want (roughly)--or did, anyhow [10:31] randomnr: what are you talking about? [10:32] garrett__: 32 MB [10:32] garrett__: that's hilarious to me [10:32] ethana2: firefox 3 beta 5 is much slower than ff2 [10:32] and it fucks up the sound daemon [10:32] randomnr: opposite experience here [10:32] that would be flash [10:33] yeah [10:33] also [10:33] koshari: actualy i'm new to linux and don't know how to install xmms in ubuntu hardy. [10:33] !o4o [10:33] Some things are inappropriate for #ubuntu.

[10:33] yeah, that's the one [10:33] gooody: xmms isn't packaged for hardy, but audacious is a good alternative [10:33] gooody to install software you are best to research installing via synaptic to begin with [10:34] ethana2: the thing is when I watch a flash video with sound and then some other Application such as vlc oder pidgin makes a sound, the complete system halts [10:34] :( [10:34] !botabuse | ethana2 [10:34] ethana2: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [10:34] gooody the packages in the repositorys are generally good makes and using the package manager it is a lot easier to remove [10:34] gordonjcp: I just did the wrong thing, sorry [10:35] koshari: i usualy use synaptic for softwares available in repo [10:35] randomnr: is pulseaudio daemon running? [10:35] why is it CTRL+H ?? I have small hands :( [10:35] ethana2: ah, sorry, I thought you were a random teasing the bot [10:35] Привет [10:35] gordonjcp: no, I avoid doing that [10:35] gooody thats good, is xmms not available in the repos? [10:35] yarr, the guy who was helping me left the channel....

[10:36] koshari: use audacious [10:36] randomnr: pulseaudio is supposed to take care of exactly that problem [10:37] koshari:or beep-media-player [10:37] atmanam: do you know if it's possible to remove or completely disable pulseaudio? [10:37] gordonjcp i use amarok, its gooody looking for xmms, irecall it was repackaged as beep media player in a previous version [10:37] gordon..:i guess apt-get --purge remove should do the trick [10:38] koshari: yeah, beep was a port to gnome2, but I'm not sure if that's still maintained [10:38] atmanam: I think that might just have a knock-on effect on other packages [10:38] gordonjcp: i am used to xmms since it was available in gutsy and it's similar to winamp. [10:38] gordon..:or just remove the corresponding startu script in /etc/init.d/ [10:38] so that it does'nt run on startup [10:39] gooody: audacious is the modern version of XMMS [10:39] koshari: is there a way to remove xmms without removing the dependencies? [10:39] atmanam: good point, it is just a daemon [10:39] gooody: XMMS is gtk-1..which means the fonts are all screwed up [10:39] gooody: you may as well just leave xmms, for all the space it takes up === nico_ is now known as nico_|gone [10:40] you could simply delete the binary file if you knew what it was but thats a bit of a messy way of going about things, [10:40] gordonjcp: i'll try that after i remove xmms from my system. [10:40] gordon..:xmms has some very nice plugins [10:40] atmanam: they're easy to port === nico_|gone is now known as nico_ [10:40] atmanam: hmm thank you ill try to modify the startup scripts [10:40] bye [10:40] Does anyone know how to have a wireless NIC connect to a router upon boot? (this is for a headless server, administered via command line) [10:40] i dont know who the hell thought that all these bloated and large ass music players are best for everyone, but it drives me nuts ;x [10:40] IIRC xmms is tiny and it will be taking up bugger all space [10:41] hi, i am not sure about latex, especially etex. which ubuntu-package contains etex? [10:41] !find latex [10:41] Found: auctex, dblatex, latex-beamer, latex-xcolor, libwriter2latex-java-doc (and 56 others) [10:41] gooody if you still have the directory tou compiled it in available there may be a log file there [10:41] gooody otherwise there are often uninstall scripts left behind, [10:42] !find etex [10:42] Found: jadetex, mimetex, perl-modules, tetex-bin, tetex-extra (and 11 others) [10:42] i may have deleted the directory as instructed [10:42] gooody but agian these actions are not withour risk [10:42] goody: i did'nt follow the earlier conversation...but looks like you want "sudo make uninstall" [10:42] !info tetex-bin [10:42] tetex-bin (source: texlive-base): TeX Live: teTeX transitional package. In component main, is optional. Version 2007-13 (hardy), package size 17 kB, installed size 100 kB [10:43] koshari: it's OK. i'm willing to take the risk. [10:43] if i want to have etex, do I have to install tetex? [10:43] antmanam gooody installed a proggie compiled from source without checkinstall, and then deleted the dir the source was it [10:43] i am a little bit confused about tex-distros and how they are related to each other... [10:44] How to use apt-cache to tell me if a package is actually installed or not? [10:44] Hardy keeps freezing! Locking up completely! Gutsy didn't - whats up?! [10:44] Hey, any ideas on how to mount .bin files? [10:44] hi all [10:45] I only installed it on saturday, and it has crashed every night since then and 3 times since midnight today already. [10:45] koshari: unless he knows what the binaries ans libs are named(in which case he can use "find /"), he cant do much [10:45] (I'm in UK, its 10:45am currently) [10:45] hi benjie [10:45] antx, hi [10:46] Hey can i copy my gmail contacts to evolution address book???? [10:46] koshari: how can i locate the uninstall scripts? [10:46] Benjie: the .bin is an iso or a movie file? [10:46] Hey can i copy my gmail contacts to evolution address book???? [10:46] atmanam, you mean exyan === antx is now known as Ecclipse [10:46] Benjie:oops.sorry [10:47] napster: i think gmail can export contacts as vcard then import them on evolution [10:47] exyan: the .bin is an iso or a movie file? [10:47] napster : yes U can [10:47] atmanam: data [10:48] as vcard??? [10:48] i've got a strange problem. after updating from ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 my server won't allow any network connections. [10:48] atmanam: atmanam mounting with a loop and type as iso doesn't seem to do the trick [10:48] gooody get the /xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz tarball again and open it and see if there is a file called uninstall ect [10:48] koshari : sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename [10:48] I can ping the server from localhost to localhost and the two interfaces in the server. [10:49] koshari : or sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq packagename [10:49] koshari: it doesn't contain uninstall files. [10:49] but it just won't allow any other connections. it looks like the network cables are unplugged. [10:49] how do i stop the Download page from popping up in FireFox ? [10:50] but it CAN'T be possible that the cables are unplugged, since the host is running on VMWare ESX.

[11:15] chris_: is it a script? [11:16] soundray: its a propietary program [11:16] soundray: when i call another program, which really doesnt exist, i get the same error message, how come? [11:16] chris_: it must have some dependency that you haven't installed. Try running it with 'strace ./1' [11:16] soundray: ok thanks a bunch [11:17] anyone remembers where to put geometry settings for a certain X app? i need to set nvidia-settings window size permanently, now it starts as a very small window [11:17] eisenhower: metacity (the default gnome window manager) doesn't have this option. Other window managers do, though. [11:17] iirc its Xdefaults [11:18] Anyone know how to disable temperature-based/condition-based speedstepping? i think my GPU's underclocking on account of a dead fan [11:18] if i reset the temperaure sensors, i gain 500-1000fps in glxgears [11:18] soundray: tries others* thanks [11:18] and my GPU's really basically cool to to the touc [11:18] heya === nico_|gone is now known as nico_ [11:19] XLV: try starting it with the -geometry option to see if it even honors those settings.

To prevent file restoring. [11:20] soundray: http://pastebin.org/37245, ??, another reason maybe: i am on 64bit and the program is for 32bit only? would that be possible? [11:20] eyyYo, shred [11:20] I ditched Avanti, and took back the gnone panel. How can I minimize windows to panel? [11:20] my laptop's not overheating, but I've got a dead fan, and I think it's underclocking its self. if I reset the sensors, I gain 500fps [11:21] bazhang, oh, i didnt know it could do that.. thank you :) [11:21] :) [11:21] any idea how to monitor GPU/CPU clock? [11:21] how do i unload a module [11:21] or how to disable the temperature step? [11:21] i'm guessing it's underclocking on account of a fan's low rpm [11:21] i used modprobe to load a module and i think it is messing with other, so how do i unload it. [11:21] chris_: uh, looks like a simple case of file not found. [11:21] chris_: what kind of program is this? It tries to call makedev, which should be restricted to admin... I wouldn't trust it [11:22] soundray: x-plane.com linux demo (flight simulator) it worked in a vm machine 32bit yesterday [11:23] bazhang, sorry for bothering you, but I didnt find anything about it in 'man shred'. Do you have an example? :) [11:23] hi, what is the command to start the printer configuration tools in ubuntu? I'm trying to add a network printer.

[11:24] chris_: try calling it with linux32 ./1 (you may have to install it) [11:24] BobB: system -> adminsitration -> printing [11:24] bazhang, will do [11:24] XLV: use devilspie [11:24] chris_, I can't access that because i'm using a different window manager [11:25] eyyYo: what do you need to know? [11:25] gordonjcp, how to overwrite the empty disc space with random ones and zeros, to prevent file restoration. [11:25] eyyYo: 'shred ' is about all there is to it ;-) [11:26] eyyYo: create a very very big file? [11:26] soundray: same error message, another difference (and the only additional one) between yesterday (worked) and now is: now nvidia graphics driver installed. i hope thats not relevant [11:26] eyyYo: shred only really overwrites files [11:26] chris_: why did you rename it? [11:26] gordonjcp, yeah, but I was wondering if there is any software to do it :) [11:26] eyyYo: if you do something like "cat /dev/urandom > /somerandomfile" it will eventually fill up the disk [11:26] BobB: /usr/bin/system-config-printer [11:27] eyyYo: probably [11:27] chris_, thanks :) [11:27] BobB: or have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=310450 [11:27] soundray, will, do.

[12:20] yesudeep: or trather 'is not available, but is referred to by another package...' do I have to update sources.list with something? [12:20] DracoZA, I thought they were similar enough [12:20] Anyone here help me with IP forwarding, NAT/PAT? [12:20] can anyone tell me how to disable saa7134_alsa and snd_pcm? [12:20] tobylane, for your own sanity though it may be a nicer way to explore :) [12:20] The iso is massive though.. [12:20] ep103: Can you paste the entire original error diagnostic message at paste site? http://dpaste.com [12:21] yesudeep: nevermind, its now installing, I just misstyped. Thanks a lot [12:21] Can I install ubuntu 8 from an iso, without a cd writer? [12:21] Or update from 5.10 to 8.04 with just the iso of 8.04? [12:21] ep103: Sure, when you get it installed drop us a note about whether it worked. [12:21] I downloaded the amd64 iso DVD from kubuntu last night and was going to install it on my brand new computer running a intel core2 duo 3,16ghz cpu and 4gig ram.. but the installer crashed all the time.. is this a known problem?

The guide says I need to look for a "default run level" in /etc/inittab, but it doesn't exist (ubuntu hardy). There are /etc/rc#.d folders though (With # running from 0 to 6). Bottom line, how do I figure out the default run level needed for the Matlab R2007b license manager? [12:28] I installed the ov511 driver via Synaptic. MY LifeView USB CapView showed as /dev/video0 once in Skype but then vanished. Question: DO I need to restart the driver? How do I tell if it is detecting my USB gadget?

[12:30] grisevg: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/02/13-things-to-do-immediately-after.html that mentions codecs, probably will solve your problem [12:30] Cap_J_L_Picard, you can check to see if cam is detected by "lsusb" and "dmesg" [12:30] Purplemess: #5 should be your way to go, check http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/06/22/a-discussion-on-grub-security/ f.e.

[12:37] I have ip forwarding enabled, ad-hoc network up and running, computer connceted to it, but the internet connection is still not being shared to the clients [12:37] erusul yes [12:38] Hey guys, I formatted, installed wine etc etc, and when I try to run programs, it spams this in terminal: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-60000000 [12:38] err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report [12:38] join #exim [12:38] Assid, May want/need to use the following first: http://www.u3.com/uninstall/ [12:38] oops forgot im not in #wineHQ [12:38] anyone have any luck running mastercam in ubuntu and how [12:39] Hey ya'll. Running Hardy Heron, and have enabled nvidia_new restricted driver, but it is not in use. I've installed nvidia-glx-new, but am a bit over my head, as this package doesn't even show up in synatpic, and the forums I've found don't refer to envy or legacy tags. [12:39] !puregnome | microwaver [12:39] where are the graphics card config files stored in ubuntu? [12:39] DistroJockey: any clue if i can reload it in the future? [12:39] Vixus: I could be wrong, but I think its the xorg.conf file [12:39] If I do this ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromGutsy ) will it be beside ubuntu, or replace gnome? [12:39] ep103, do you know where that's kept? [12:39] Beside gnome, or on top of ..erm [12:39] Assid, why would you want to? ;) [12:39] sam_, did you run "winecfg" [12:40] Vixus: I used to. If you google it I'm sure itll pop up [12:40] I have ip forwarding enabled, ad-hoc network set up, computers connected to it, but the clients are not able to use the internet. Someone help? [12:40] sam_, did you run "winecfg" [12:40] bazhang, what was the command to ask ubotto to reset my menus? [12:40] !wine | sam_ [12:40] sam_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [12:40] DistroJockey: still use a windows machine ..and its handy for the u3.. tbh [12:40] Eww u3 ftl [12:40] Anyone know if there is a "Device Manager" in Ubuntu Hardy? [12:40] Assid, there are better free options such as PortableApps [12:41] Thats not great either [12:41] ep103, I enabled the new restricted driver too but I'm not even sure if it works.. window effects are very slow.. [12:41] portableapps? [12:41] Assid, yeah, google it [12:41] If it can be run on one of these, it can be run without it [12:41] yeah checking it [12:41] My ubuntu hardy install gets really slow when a file operation like copying or moving is being performed [12:41] CapeTown-HardyHe: you have more info? maybe url? [12:41] A lot of programs, things like gimp and opera , can just be copied onto the usb drive [12:41] any idea why? [12:41] Vixus: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:42] If I do this ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromGutsy ) will it be beside gnome, or replace gnome? [12:42] Vixus: yea, everytime I put ubuntu on a new machine, I have to play around for a while before I get them working again. its always card/driver issues [12:42] Window effects will be slow if you don't use compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) to set the compiz display frequency to match that of your display. It doesn't seem to automatically detect the right frequency and defaults to 50. [12:42] legend2440, thanks [12:42] hrmm seems similar [12:42] for me [12:42] ep103: Ok. What errors do you see now? [12:42] bazhang, what was the command to ask ubotto to reset my menus? [12:43] yesudeep: still enabled, still not in use. typed nvidia-xconfig --help with same results [12:43] CapeTown-HardyHe: Applications>system tools>device manager or in terminal gnome-device-manager [12:43] I need help finishing this networking issue. computer A is trying to share a wired internet via ad-hoc from wireless. Other computers can connect to the ad-hoc, but none are able to use the internet. Help? [12:43] chris_ : Not sure what more info you need. I installed ov511 drivers via Synaptic but Skype only show /dev/video0 once and I don't get any info from "modprobe ov511" command... :-( [12:44] ciao [12:44] yesudeep: found a forum online that said i needed to make sure that only nvidia-xlg-new was installed, and not nvidia-xlg-old or nvidia-xlg, but when I went to synaptic, I got confused by legacy vs envy [12:44] !list [12:44] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [12:44] !gnome [12:44] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [12:44] ep103: That's nvidia-GLX-new not nvidia-xlg-new. Are you sure you have installed the right package? [12:44] CapeTown-HardyHe: oh skype cannot help with that, terribly sorry, dont use closed source software much [12:45] ep103: If you have a recent nvidia graphics card you don't need legacy drivers. I haven't played with envy (yet). [12:45] yesudeep: sorry for the mistype. I typed it in correctly, but all lowercase [12:45] Does anyone know how to reset your gnome menubars? [12:45] Chris_: I installed ZoneMinder too but I though Skype would help me "test" the video capture.... I can't ghet ZoneMinder (open source) to show an image on /dev/video0 [12:45] ep103: Can you pastebin the output of dpkg -L nvidia-glx-new at dpaste.com and show us the URL? Also paste the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf there in a new paste. === Craig_ is now known as SecurityZen [12:46] does this : gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel work to reconfigure your gnome menu's [12:46] xorg.conf doesn't even have any entries for graphics card driver.. [12:46] yesudeep: http://pastebin.com/m17323f84 [12:47] At least, mine doesn't. [12:47] rayne: i look at my server and find script maybe this help you [12:47] looking for someone who has a working x-fi on ubuntu... [12:47] ep103: You see this line: "Package `nvidia-glx-new' is not installed." It tells you the problem. [12:47] i cant seem to find a guide for setting up ipsec specific to ubuntu? [12:47] yesudeep: hold on [12:47] If anyone's interested, I tracked down the my performance slowdown. while the cpu temperature wasn't worrysome, it looks like speedstep was being overly aggressive due to a 0rpm fan. (massively slow system, still said it was running at full clock). cleaned out the fan and no problems now. [12:48] rayne: you need to modify ip, network interface http://phpfi.com/318343 [12:48] do i have to especially compile openswan to add it to the kernel? [12:48] mohamed_: appreciate it [12:48] I saw that but: http://pastebin.com/m6bdf9339 [12:48] so what should I be installing? [12:48] Vixus: i am not sure hardy still uses traditional way of reading from xorg.conf files. i would digg a bit on the net how x config has changed from gutsy to hardy [12:48] anyone ever had pc suddenly shut down and after it wont work without unplugging power plug [12:48] ep103: Ok. Now step by step. Follow this. Type `sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx-new nvidia-settings` and pastebin the output at dpaste.com No changes in the case. Almost all packages in ubuntu are named in lowercase. [12:49] I used the caps in my post to emphasize the 'glx'. Sorry about that. [12:49] http://pastebin.com/m4ad217b3 [12:49] Also make sure you don't type the backquotes (`) surrounding the command. [12:50] Is it normal to have three compiz processes running? [12:50] umm, four [12:51] actually five [12:51] mohamed_: is that something I would copy and past over? [12:51] i have nvidia-settings working on my setup.. it lists a version number for nvidia drivers so I guess my drivers are working properly? [12:51] ep103: Ok. Do this now. Click through the main menu > System > Administration > Software Sources. [12:51] Lr5_: i just started playing with it today, so dunno, but I have compiz-decorator (2 instances), compiz and compiz.real in my process table [12:52] ep103: Can you check whether "Proprietary drivers for devices (restricted)" is checked? [12:52] oh amazing, this has the very settings I wanted [12:52] Vixus: Nice. :-) [12:52] yesudeep: its unchecked. I've already uncommented everything in the sources.list file, never checked here. I take it i should check this box? [12:53] rayne: is script you can create file anyname.sh and past this script inside then chmod +x anyname.sh run this script and see if it work of course after you modify it to put your network interface inside and ip [12:53] I have compiz, compiz-decorato and four compiz.reals at the moment *wonders where the fifth one went* [12:53] ep103: Ah. You should avoid touching the /etc/apt/sources.list file until you become a more advanced user for now. [12:53] ep103: Enable all the repositories. [12:53] interestingly, apps still want to run fullscreen.. that's probably to do with my coding though. [12:53] Hiya! I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04 and when I try to plug in a usb stick it says 'cannot mount volume'. It worked when I booted up as a live CD but not now I have actually installed it! [12:53] i am not so happy hardy fan. I was very happy gutsy user. Clean upgrade stopped my cisco wlan adapter. (though i was able to enable it with forum help). Can anyone help me, why windows drive automount icon on desktop disappears everytime i start pc ?. that was never a problem in gutsy. [12:53] three of the .reals use about 17% of cpu each [12:53] ep103: The problem is that the package manager cannot locate the package. nvidia-glx-new exists in the restricted repost. [12:54] repos* [12:54] Vixus: http://www.bi03.co.uk/home/blog.php?id=8 [12:54] muhamed_: I dont see ip values anywhere in there [12:54] asfak: comment the line that mounts it in /etc/fstab [12:54] hi. anyone can give some details about some specific ways to protect files and folders on a shared system? let's say that there are 2 (or more) users and each has it's own /var/www/user_site folder, everyone of them has write access on it's own folder but not on other's. i need to know exactly how to disable read acces on other's folders and stil those folders to be available on web. [12:55] legend2440, my monitor works fine, I was just wondering if I could change how fullscreen applications were displayed at various resolutions. [12:55] rayne: there is EXTIF="eth0 and INTIF="eth1" also EXTIP= [12:55] Lr5_: huh. i've only got a 1.8GHz p4m, and it's sitting at about 1.3% with a 31M memory footprint [12:55] muhamed_: what is EXTIP= ? [12:56] Vixus: oh ok misread your problem [12:56] yesudeep: okay, repasted the installation code you gave me. Its uninstalling some legacy files that were apparently on there, and installing nvidia-glx-new [12:56] rayne: external ip [12:56] garrett__: I have a core 2, 2.13 ghz both [12:56] saltedlight, you just have to use the "chmod" command [12:56] ep103: Looks good. Once it's done, can you pastebin the output too? [12:56] and I don't think they should do that [12:56] saltedlight, your probabbly going to need to make each specific user the owner of their directory and then make the directory a member of the www-data group and set read access on that and write only access for the user. but as AaronH just said google "chmod" [12:56] Lr5_: could it be that it's showing up twice in your process table because it's spread across both cores? [12:56] What happens if you kill a compiz process? [12:56] rayne: this is the ip that connect to internet ( external ip ) [12:56] garrett__: it shows as 4-5 [12:56] yesudeep: to which command? the installation? [12:56] !xfce [12:56] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels [12:56] Lr5_: You lose the window management functionality. You can resume it by issuing 'compiz --replace' [12:56] muahmed_/garrett_: so that would be whatever the IP is the hardline uses to hit internet right? [12:57] ep103: Yes. [12:57] Lr5_: i don't have a dual core box, but i remember about 8years ago there was some serious goofyness with process reporting on SMP machines. [12:57] saltedlight, if you would like more detail I will try to explain better on a PM [12:57] Lr5_: i'm guessing that's been fixed up, but im' not too familiar with it. [12:57] rayne: you have two network card one connect to internet other to the internal network [12:57] now it's seven compiz.reals, strange [12:57] Lr5_: is it running slow? or are you just making sure that it's not doing something silly? [12:57] Lr5_: powered by rabits! [12:57] mohamed_: gotcha, sorry. Drifting off into sleep [12:58] mohamed_: was loosing concentration [12:58] garrett__: other programs are running a bit slow [12:58] yesudeep: http://pastebin.com/m1eeb1d55 [12:58] Lr5_: huh [12:59] ep103: Nice. Now enable the drivers in the "restricted drivers manager" and reboot. :-) [12:59] ep103: And as usual, leave us a note. :-) [12:59] Lr5_: are you using gnome? if so, try disabling it and see if you get you performance back [12:59] Lr5_: dunno what'll happen if you killall -9 [12:59] I tried disabling the desktop effects, had no effect [12:59] yesudeep: thanks again for putting up with the all-nighter stupidity. see ya in a few [12:59] ep103: np. [12:59] Lr5_: huh. that probably shouldn't happen [12:59] hello, where to get the ncomputing software for ubuntu? [13:00] mohamed_: okay, modified and ran the script [13:00] mohamed_: do I need to restart the internet connection? [13:01] anyone ever been able to use mastercam cadcam software in ubuntu [13:01] rayne: no just test your internal network [13:01] rayne: first be sure that ip of the network working well [13:02] mohamed_: how would I do that? [13:02] yesudeep: It worked, I'm good to go. Thanks again! [13:02] ep103: Did that work? [13:02] slt [13:02] ep103: Sure, good luck. [13:02] rayne: you can ping server from any pc or oppisite [13:02] hi i was just wondering whether anyone could tell me how to enable a USB flash drive to be writable it says permission denied and doesn't even allow root [13:02] Hey whats the difference between "GNOME" and "GNOME Failsafe" Failsafe GNOME works fine, however, when I try to log in to GNOME it plays the login sound, starts to show the taskbars then it goes all white [13:02] and i have no input at all. I have to ctrl alt backspace [13:03] rayne: you use dhcp server ? [13:03] mohamed_: how do i specify to ping using wlan0 and not eth0? [13:03] rayne: it depends on your default route and the routing tables for the interface. [13:03] rayne: less you have some loadbalancing setup [13:03] This may seem like a dumb question but would a program compile faster in a lighter desktop. At least one that is lighter than GNOME? [13:04] mohamed_: I think i do use a dhcp... i think i set one up when I was trying to set this up the other day [13:04] whileimhere: yes [13:04] nobody has any idea why GNOME Failsafe would start fine and GNOME doesn't ? [13:04] wileim: yup [13:04] garrett_: I try to ping and i get 'Destination Host Unreachable' [13:05] whileimhere: you can start the compile run from alt-ctrl+F1 f.e.: no window manager at all [13:05] whileimhere: I'm using about 18% on just my windowmanager. so that 18% would otherwise be given to gcc [13:05] That is what I was wondering. [13:05] rayne: then you've got a routing problem [13:05] mohamed_: the computer connected on the internal network does have an ip assigned to it and such [13:05] Not that I compile much software. [13:05] Hi, you guys, I have a problem. When my computer boots, it gives me alot of errors saying that "root is read only filesystem" [13:05] I need to learn how to create deb files for distrobution now. [13:05] whileimhere: you can renice gcc so that it'll grab a lions share of your scheduler's allocated cycles, though [13:06] sandra: maybe your filesystem is broken or your harddisk is damaged [13:06] garrett_: I was wondering if it could be because of using eth0 (external) and wlan0 (interal) [13:06] garrett__ how? [13:06] Ok I'll try a 2nd question. I bought a USB data cable for my cell phone, yet I can't get Ubuntu to detect it. All the programs say as a default it should be /dev/mobile but theres nothing there. [13:06] run fsck to check your filesystem [13:06] Hi! I'm using ubuntu 7.10 (amd64). Update-manager notifies me about available updates. I'm satisfied with my current system, but I would like to have it up-to-date. If I make the suggested updates my actual settings will be overwritten? In other words, do I need to reconfigure anything after installation of updated packages? [13:06] just use alien [13:06] Ubuntu isn't detecting it. [13:06] whileimhere: "nice" sets the priority of a procecss with regard to the kernel scheduler [13:06] killed three compiz.reals, processor usage dropped to 75% [13:06] ncomp, is there a way to make root read-write... and not just read only? [13:06] whileimhere: if a process has a higher priority, it gets more processor cycles. [13:06] whileimhere use alien [13:06] sandra: true [13:07] sandra: but thats not the error itself [13:07] sandra: you need to know why it is read only [13:07] SnakeArt, nah, all your settings will stay the way they are [13:07] It says, mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read-only [13:07] rayne: possibly [13:07] garrett__ I understand what nice is and does I mean how to I make it set for gcc? [13:07] it often happends when something goes wrong with your filesystem [13:07] rayne: my guess is your routing tables are a bit mucked. [13:07] matrix: advising alien generally is not a good idea [13:07] Martrix: Alien is for converting rpm to deb isnt it? [13:08] sandra: are there more errors? [13:08] whileimhere: nice -n priority make? [13:08] oops, killed the one that was handling the windows, apparently it didn't do anything else than switch to the other window manager thing [13:08] ncomp, Is there some way to make /dev/hda1 read and write? or root read and write? [13:08] sorry if im wrong why chris [13:08] SFauconnier: Tnx. It makes me feel more comfortable:) [13:08] sandra: root means / [13:08] your root fs [13:08] alien does the job [13:08] and processor usage is down to 55%, looks better [13:08] there is nothing wrong with alien [13:08] garrett__ thanks I will try it next time I am doing this. Its already 40% done [13:08] whileimhere: nice -n -20 gcc foo.c -o foo, for example, would set that process as the highest priority [13:08] mount -o rw / [13:09] Almost every file after it tries to mount... gives me an error that,, can not do ___ root is read only. [13:09] matrix: its a tweaky conversion tool. it exists for ages now, but its more of a nono tool. users should use deps/rpms designed for their distro after all [13:09] whileimhere: or if you have some computers sitting about, you can setup something like distcc and just build yourself a compile farm [13:09] sandra: you need to type sudo before [13:09] re-enabled compiz, no cpu % effect, so I guess I fixed the problem [13:09] ok thanks for the advice chris [13:09] how would i mount /dev/sda4 to /mnt/lfs [13:09] Lr5_: something probably got bjorked up [13:09] Another off-topic question (but I never get responses in ubuntu-offtopic) so here it goes. I would like a lighter web browser. Is there one out there for linux? [13:09] ncomp, How can I make /dev/hda1 read write? [13:10] whileimhere: opera's pretty light weight [13:10] sudo mount -o rw /dev/hda1 / [13:10] whileimhere: epiphany ? [13:10] garrett__: could be related to testing how firefox crashes the x server when visiting certain pages [13:10] ncomp, Will it stay that way when I try to boot it next time? [13:10] hello! [13:10] garrett__ I hd considered Opera. Isnt that closed source? [13:11] my pc speaker doesn't work ob beep command... how can i test it or turn on? [13:11] sandra: if it should stay then you need to do an entry in your /etc/fstab [13:11] whileimhere: y [13:11] whileimhere: yeah, it is. [13:11] can someone tell me how i can edit my xorg.conf? it says i cannot write to the file.... [13:11] zuperz: alsa-conf ? [13:11] make sure you use sudo arleas [13:11] It needs to stay, it basically told me to add... it at boot [13:11] sandra: first try sudo mount -no remount,rw / [13:11] you need root priveleges [13:11] I was thinking of switching over to Lynx for my day to day things. [13:11] i used sudo [13:12] hola [13:12] privileges [13:12] for real dwag [13:12] but when i did that, it opened a blank file [13:12] the ghetto is hard [13:12] ncomp, It says to add it to start up with lilo [13:12] I know dwag [13:12] so i found xorf.conf and opened it, but nothing would save [13:12] and it wont let you edit [13:12] whileimhere: or k-melon or firefox wonder edition [13:12] i'm the only user [13:12] the ghetto is hard [13:12] whileimhere: i haven't tried either of those, though [13:12] What is the easiest way to upgrade firefox to RC1? [13:12] Arleas: gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:12] whileimhere: i use firefox having pics disabled if that would give you an addiotional idea.. [13:12] ghis: Wait until you receive the official update from Ubuntu. [13:12] Arleas: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:12] chris_ That is an interesting idea. [13:12] ghis, wait till its on the repos [13:13] !ff3rc | ghis [13:13] ghis: The Firefox 3 RC package is not currently available as most of the Ubuntu-mozilla team is at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Thanks for your patience. [13:13] ncomp, it said at start up that I need to add... mount root=/dev/hda1 rw ?? Where would I add that to? [13:13] for real dwag [13:13] sandra: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html [13:13] what is the name od kde room?

This beta 3 sucks... doest not work well with flash at all.... [13:14] sandra: true [13:14] ok i did that, i entered my password, but nothing happened [13:14] not standart speakers for music, but beeper, i think that it isn't need any drivers [13:14] Im going to wait till all my extensions are compatible with FF3 before upgrading [13:14] Sladjannn: #kubuntu-kde4 [13:14] ncomp, can you tell me where to put "mount root=/dev/hda1 rw? [13:14] im using xubuntu on an eee pc [13:14] ghis: delete the firefox3 package, download the tarball, toss it in /usr/local or something and symlink /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/local/firefox/firefox? [13:15] ncomp, It also said that I could use "loadlin vmlinuz root=/dev/hda1 rw [13:15] garrett__: thanks [13:15] ghis: then rm -rf it when an ubuntu package comes out [13:15] garrett__: yeah sounds like a good idea [13:15] ghis: make a backup of your .mozilla dir just on the offchance something stupid happens, though [13:16] I know that kcontrol is no more in kde4 but how do you get system settings to look the old way like this http://www.tuxmachines.org/images/ultimalive/kcontrol.jpg [13:16] ghis: i think i'm going to do that, too, actually ;P the 8.04 build is sort of slow.

[13:17] mlr: mount umount [13:17] to point it where the root fs is [13:17] HELLO [13:17] FUCK FUCK [13:17] GO GO [13:17] garrett__: i installed minimal ubuntu and it seems i dont have mount package, i tried with afuse and autofs i think but both not working [13:17] esi1: shut up or you will be kicked [13:17] he is already gone [13:17] So, "nano lilo.conf?" and add what line? ncomp [13:17] m1r: whoa. no mount? [13:18] garrett__: yes, no mount [13:18] is there any way i can get mousepad to open my xorg.conf with the priveledges to change it? [13:18] install mount [13:18] fdsss: what is name of that package ? [13:18] m1r: do you have a network connection? can you just lookup what package provides mount? [13:18] your mousepad ?? [13:18] anyone use mastercam with ubuntu [13:18] garrett__: on synaptic it drops all but "mount" === Acid4 is now known as ac1d === ac1d is now known as acid4 [13:19] Arleas: gksudo mousepad [13:19] it's a text edit application shipped with xubuntu i think....

[13:19] ncomp, I just use "nano /etc/lilo.conf" [13:19] I have no idea mount should be in the default install because then you will not be able to open any removable media [13:19] I should try out xubuntu .... [13:19] garrett__, fdsss , i instaled autofs and afuse, but seems they not what is needed [13:19] sandra: its better to look at google i cant paste all this stuff here [13:20] garrett__: dpkg -S [13:20] fdsss: minimal install , cli , then gui === Tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek [13:20] I dont know what to look up [13:20] does xubuntu come with a Live CD ??

[13:21] * N3bunel saluta [13:21] ncomp, since it seems it only wants to be able to also read and write to the disk, and it is marked as readonly for some reason [13:21] so gksudo gives permissions that sudo does not? [13:22] sorry, im completely new to linux [13:22] maek i dont think so, i personnaly prefer fluxbox for a minimalistic desktop [13:22] garrett__: it says i have it already [13:22] !gksudo | Arleas this explains it better than I can [13:22] Arleas this explains it better than I can: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [13:22] gksudo means that you can open a GUI application as root [13:22] eo sandra ¿hablas sapanish?

How can I fix that? [13:25] garrett__: :D [13:25] oh okay koshari ... and what does a different session option mean ?? [13:25] linus thinks that gnome is for idiots [13:25] Arleas if you are the owner of the folder its in the properties accesable via nautilus or you can use chmod cmand [13:26] fdsss: Thats not appropriate. [13:26] hi, just have a question. when you enable and install proposed updates, is it only for expert users? will you get broken software/dependencies? [13:26] Tell me leightweight picture viewer ?

[13:27] If I "login" as root using "sudo su" at the command line, then when I run my VLC Media Player, I noticed there are two instances (processes) of VLC in memory--one as root and the other as my username. If I start vlc normally under my username, I only get one process under my username as expected. What am I missing here? Why does VLC do that?

[13:46] hi - on Gutsy's Compiz my graphics chip (Intel X3100 / 965) is blacklisted - how can I find out whether it's supported in Hardy? [13:46] koshari: yeah thats what i did and the effects were on again [13:46] Ace_NoOne: it is [13:46] astro76: are you sure? how do you know? [13:46] Ace_NoOne: I have it ;) [13:46] astro76: thanks!! [13:46] zackyramone and to switch back to metacity, "metacity --replace" which is the standard gnome window decorator [13:47] hmm... so, I run mythtv... do I just have to retain the filesystem with /var on it and it's good to go again under ubuntu? that's the main thing I want to preserve. [13:47] koshari: ok everything is back to normal [13:47] astro76: any catch? or does it Just Work since upgrading? [13:47] zackyramone you may want to see if the nvidia binarys are installed properly by running glxgears [13:47] Ace_NoOne: upgrade on my T61 went fine [13:48] koshari: glxgears runs perfectly [13:48] zackyramone nice [13:48] astro76: thanks - was there any kind of notification, or has Compiz been activated automatically [13:48] i using smplayer to watch rm file but why no video out ? anyone help? [13:48] Ace_NoOne: hmm can't remember, but just go to system > prefs > appearance and check [13:48] so does anyone knows how to override license agreement when installing deb packages with apt-get (like sun-java6-jdk and postgresql-8.3)? [13:49] Ace_NoOne: it probably was [13:49] astro76: yeah, will do - now I have a reason to upgrade ;) [13:49] zackyramone now you just need to get skydome and scale setup :-) [13:49] aurax: override in what way? so they'll install without you agreeing to the licence? [13:49] _Hypnos: well, i tried to look it up, but i don't remember... try reading the man pages for crypsetup... [13:49] Hi, I'm looking for a free utility that can take full system backups (disk images), similar to Ghost, any suggestions? [13:49] *cryptsetup [13:50] hdparm ---- what are these error messages [13:50] /dev/sdc: [13:50] IO_support = 0 (default) [13:50] 16-bit) [13:50] HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [13:50] HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [13:50] HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device [13:50] readonly = 0 (off) [13:50] readahead = 256 (on) [13:50] cdecarlo: partimage is nice for that [13:50] geometry = 19457/255/63, sectors = 312581808, start = 0 [13:50] cdecarlo: partimage, you can run it from the System Rescue CD [13:50] koshari: how?

[13:51] you need to install the advanced compiz configurator [13:51] Is there a way to delete all of the files and folders inside of a directory but without deleting the directory they are contained ? [13:51] rrittenhouse: enter the directory before issuing your rm [13:51] it was an error message i believed should be read at once [13:51] jim_beam: Use a pastebin next time [13:51] !paste | jim_beam [13:51] jim_beam: 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) [13:52] i copied from treminal [13:52] rrittenhouse: "pushd ; rm -rf ; popd" [13:52] !paste [13:52] rrittenhouse: maybe there's a better way but: rm -r dir/* && rm -r dir/.* [13:52] jim_beam, it makes the channel unreadable though [13:52] ok [13:52] sorry [13:52] hi there!

[13:53] any answer on hdparm [13:53] zackyramone http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/8/29/How-to-set-up-Compiz-Fusion [13:54] koshari: thanks [13:54] jim_beam, you need to modprobe whatever module corresponds to your chipset, or controller.. its a sata drive? [13:54] alecs: with root access, monitoring software is more or less superfluous, isn't it? :-) [13:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13484/ if anyone speaks finnish, would you kindly say what to do in that point [13:55] thanks sipior and astro76 [13:55] ask linux [13:55] linus [13:56] manifest: I can help [13:56] thanks. should i just re-install wine? [13:56] <_Hypnos> Odd-rationale: i found out, thanks to your info i got to dm which is "device mapper" and the admin tool for it is dmsetup (also the package name, which i had to install) [13:57] It tells you to go to synaptics and fix it there [13:57] E: Type "- 16:56:58 -" is an unfamiliar line, the Source 1 / etc / apt / sources.list.d / winehq.list [13:57] E: Lähdelistaa can not read. [13:57] Go to the source as hallintaikkunaan and to resolve the situation. [13:57] E: _cache-> open () failed, please report [13:57] i using smplayer to watch rm file but why no video out ? anyone help? [13:57] is there a sparc flavor ubuntu available? [13:57] hrmm [13:57] this documentation is flawed [13:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [13:57] first it says to do something [13:57] thenb it says dont [13:57] where could i find synaptic? [13:57] actually, the nvidia binaries are exactly why I'm pissed off with fedora. they have apparently started using some quite new (bleeding-edge?) x server, that the nvidia code hasn't caught up with, but they released it anyway. [13:57] apt-get install synaptic [13:57] axisys: there was server only, I think it was dropped, at least officially [13:57] "Follow the instructions, but use /dev/sdx2 instead of /dev/sdx1, and make sure you make /dev/sdx2 bootable in fdisk." [13:58] why cant the damn thing be a bit more specific [13:58] sipior : can you be more explicit ? [13:58] astro76: :-( that sucks.. i wanted to install it on a sun netra [13:58] axisys: yeah, there's debian ;) [13:58] alecs: well, can *you* be more explicit about what you want to accomplish? :-) [13:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/13485/ [13:59] astro76: oh ok.. i guess i could use that then.. do you happend to know any of the other popular distro run on sparc? [13:59] astro76: like fedora/centos, mandriva .. etc. [13:59] axisys: not off-hand, debian has the most platform support [13:59] astro76: or opensuse [13:59] use rpms [13:59] axisys: not any of those AFAIK [13:59] astro76: ok.. cool~ [13:59] finnish: http://paste.ubuntu.com/13485/ [14:00] sipior, i want to install an application that make a statistic of opened windows. [14:00] can someone help me with live usb [14:00] XLV: LoL the previous file I download has the same md5sum [14:00] XLV: the one I burned [14:00] XLV: and md5sum is fine [14:00] there may be the same issue with nvidia drivers and ubuntu for all I know. [14:00] XLV: but I burned it twice and tried from qemu and was broken [14:00] can anyone help with LIRC? the lirc channel is dead === Exteris is now known as Exteris_ [14:01] bogey-: hmm this one has the same m5sum as the one I burned [14:01] hey all [14:01] bogey-: maybe its broken for polish language [14:02] mateusz: you may have to realize that your cd burner is bad :( because i promise you i burned that exact cd yesterday and put it on three computers [14:02] alecs: what sort of statistics for each window? [14:02] I installed Ubuntu 8.04 and I am having problems with networking. it is saying that the eth0 device does not exist. but when I load the LiveCD, I am able to see the device. [14:02] <|StOnE|> good morning [14:02] <|StOnE|> ppl [14:02] Morning to you [14:02] mateusz, qemu -cdrom [[cdrom''image]] -boot d [[hd''image]] should mount the iso in loopback device, so you dont have to burn it to test it in qemu === Exteris_ is now known as Exteris [14:02] bogey-: I tested it in qemu [14:03] unr3a1: ubuntu numbers ethernet devices in a retarded way, on occasion. do you have multiple network interfaces by any chance? [14:03] XLV: this one works [14:03] XLV: in qemu [14:03] XLV: I'll try bad one [14:03] unr3a1, what changes have you made in the install vs the live cd [14:03] sipior, I have only one ethernet card. i have a wireless card, but that does't even show up with lspci [14:03] bazhang, none, that I am aware of [14:04] unr3a1: you might see if eth1 is there. try "ifconfig eth1" and see what turns up [14:04] unr3a1, yeah try ifconfig [14:04] sipior: http://www.staffcop.com/features/ to see what are my active windows or so ... and be able how much time i have spent in one window or so [14:04] ifconfig only shows loopback [14:04] unr3a1, try using "sudo lshw -C network" to see if your network cards are detected [14:04] alecs: mmm...creepy. [14:05] i'm getting this error: "include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing", the 'fix' is: "Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it" but idk how to do the fix [14:05] sipior: yeah i know ... [14:05] <|StOnE|> i need a little help [14:05] <|StOnE|> anyone know how i can install kiba-dock [14:05] XLV: hmm the "bad one" also works.. maybe I removed that bad one.. ok.. [14:05] XLV: but thanks [14:06] unr3a1: does "sudo ifconfig eth0" return an error? [14:06] !find kiba [14:06] File kiba found in python-moinmoin [14:06] anyone using the applet 'screenlets' ? [14:06] sipior, yea. it says that device does not exist [14:06] I haven't tried eth1 [14:06] but I will [14:06] are there any additional font packages for open office? [14:06] unr3a1: and eth1 is the same? looks like a driver didn't load... [14:06] mateusz, if the iso mounted on loopback on qemu works, but the same iso burned in a cd/dvd doesnt, then the writer or media is problematic, try writing to some other media or at lower speed [14:07] I need to reboot... its dualbooted on the machine I am on right now [14:07] Is there any known reason winecfg would stall while creating the ~/.wine folder? [14:07] err [14:07] anyone got a working version of the live usb [14:07] Assid, sure [14:07] unr3a1, "sudo lshw -C network" will also give you your cards logical names like eth0, eth1, ect... [14:07] the doc is messed up.. just doesnt want to work for me [14:08] Assid Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh [14:08] Assid, which docs [14:08] anyone using the new video ipod nanos with rhythmbox? is it just plug and play? [14:08] it shows me to copy the file to 1st partition.. but the 1st parititon is tiny === phenom|zZz is now known as phenom_ [14:09] PyRo_ Sounds like a question for /join #Winehq [14:09] AaronH, alright. I will give that a try and see what it outputs [14:09] Jack_Sparrow: Ty [14:09] np [14:09] sipior, thats what it looks like to me, but here is my lspci: http://rafb.net/p/OynMvo98.html [14:09] Does anyone know whether the correct sentence in french is: "J'aime beacoup habiter en ville" or "J'aime beaucoup POUR habiter en ville"? [14:10] sipior, note line 16 [14:10] J'aime beaucoup habiter en ville [14:10] SidStudios: it's the first sentence [14:10] 1fr | sidux [14:10] Thanks much [14:10] !fr | sidux [14:10] sidux: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [14:10] SidStudios, that seems offtopic [14:10] bazhang: No way, people in the "ville=city" use Ubuntu, and so do I [14:11] By the way, does anyone know why my cache usage by programs has suddenly become so high? [14:11] SidStudios, nice defense [14:11] I can't delete some files via ftp [14:11] unr3a1, did you try that command I gave you? [14:11] Says directory not empty [14:11] bazhang: :p [14:11] unr3a1: i see it. can't remember which driver the Rhino-II uses...I assume via-rhine. try "sudo modprobe via-rhine", and see what happens [14:11] Oops, not files, i meant directories on first message [14:11] kk [14:11] in fact the real good sentence would be "J'aime beaucoup habiter en milieu urbain" [14:12] sidux: Ah, and the adjective will get me one more tick on the IGCSE, cheers [14:12] hoi [14:13] AaronH: I need to reboot to try all these commands and get their outputs. My laptop is dual-booted between Slackware and Ubuntu... [14:13] does the new ipod nano work with rhythmbox in hardy? === slushpuppy\ is now known as slushpuppy` [14:13] ramukmar, you tried it yet [14:14] sidux: So what would be the "milieu urban" alternative to "campagne" [14:14] bazhang: i have the older generation and it's fine, i might get one for a friend...want to check if it works [14:14] yes! [14:14] unr3a1, ah... well you should be able to get get the logical name for your network device then do "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" replace eth0 with the correct logical device name [14:14] SidStudios Can we stay on topic please [14:15] SidStudios: You probably want to ask in ##linguistics, #ubuntu is only for Ubuntu Linux support. [14:15] bazhang: and she's on ubuntu now :) [14:15] Pici: I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to disrupt your channel... [14:15] oops [14:15] sidux and SidStudios you could open a channel such as #french and chat there [14:15] SidStudios: "milieu rural" [14:16] unr3a1, after you get your device up and you want to connect to the internet you just have to do "sudo dhclient eth0" again replace eth0 with the correct name [14:16] bazhang: Thanks for the suggestion! sidux: Thanks :D [14:16] Hi there. Everytime I start my 8.04 box, I need to run recovery mode, ask to fix xorg. Is possible to solve it?? [14:16] S4nD3r: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? [14:16] gnome do not starts if do not run this fix of xorg [14:16] 8 [14:16] anyone here that AWN? [14:16] The LTS? [14:16] S4nD3r: I had that when I didn't change my menu.lst to the newest kernel [14:17] S4ND3R: Did you upgrade Dists or Fresh install? === neversfelde is now known as neversfelde_ === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [14:17] I installed 8 directly from CD [14:17] it was working until yesterday [14:17] normallu [14:17] normally [14:17] S4nD3r: Hmm, try deleting Xorg so it creates a fresh one for you [14:18] Do a backup [14:18] How do I restore my panels [14:18] !panels [14:18] Factoid panels not found [14:18] !resetpanels [14:18] !gnomepanel [14:18] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [14:18] hey all, is there a way to run do-release-upgrade, without it asking questions? [14:18] Factoid gnomepanel not found [14:18] cp /etc/X11/Xorg.conf /etc/X11/Xorg.conf.bak [14:18] Hi, I am having trouble getting a TP-Link USB adapter to work. It uses the RALink "rt73usb" module by default. I have been googling for a couple of hours and have tried everything. The out-of-the-box ubuntu rt73usb driver *does* work, but it connects to my wireless lan at about 2mbps and it drops out regularly. Has anyone had any success in getting this type of USB wi-fi adapter to work correctly in Ubuntu? [14:18] bazhang, thanks, :) that was the thing i was looking for [14:18] Hmmm got a more serious problem [14:18] Aaron [14:19] microwaver: What can I do to serve you? [14:19] I've got my panels, but I don't have the menu bar on application (i mean maximize, minimize, ...

Envyng does not seem to know my card [14:19] SidStudios: Oh, you mean like in Mac OS X? [14:19] AaronH: alright. will do that.. is there anything else I should do if lshw -C doesn't pull anything? [14:20] hi folks - this is a very noob question -- but i need to know so i dont screw it up -- im beginning to learn to package deb files for the carrier project -- if im packaging an app that uses X and the gui - i need a computer with X etc on it to build the packages on, right? [14:20] microwaver compiz --replace [14:20] W8TAH: You might [14:20] SidStudios: how to recreate other xorg.conf ?? [14:20] Jack_Sparrow, what does that just do? [14:20] SidStudios, ok - thats what i was thinkin [14:20] S4nD3r: Just reboot, it should auotmatically make a new one for oyu [14:20] i think that shell script seems better way to go [14:20] microwaver dives you back window decorations like open close and minimize [14:21] S4nd3r: And if it doesn't create one that works, use your old backup [14:21] gives [14:21] it should have added -v in the cp .. so people know whats happening [14:21] ok then [14:21] I will reboot to try it [14:21] Jack_Sparrow, a quick gfx reboot did the job :) [14:21] unr3a1, "sudo lshw -C network" should give you the info you need to do "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" then "sudo dhclient eth0" and you should have internet with no problems.

[14:28] FYI i am new with linux [14:28] Yo`, that is not supported [14:28] voodoo: ahh, good to know. [14:28] Yo`: Thats probably because the package repositories are no longer online.

[14:29] how do i disable a module thats in use? [14:29] for support Yo` get a more recent version [14:29] Yo`: you're probably best off just backing up all your personal documents or whatever to a cd or thumb drive or somewhere else, and just install Hardy [14:29] Yo` You need to get a newer/supported version.. you will continue to have problems if you do not [14:30] Yo`: Why don't you just get 8.04? [14:30] It's like using windows 3.1 [14:30] 'ere! SidStudios you know anything about usb support?

Well, I would say that there's still a really good chance that it's hardware. generally, whatever OS is on the laptop, doesn't know what type of mouse it is; the computer just tells the OS, "I have a mouse at address xxxxx, go ahead and use it" [14:48] k Vlet so the nipple should always work thats the lesson right ?

This guide, called "Linux is Not Windows" is a pretty good read -- http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm [16:08] geogij, proprietary standards [16:08] ubuntu does something very annoying, suddenly everything stops working, nothing open, the only solution has been to hard reboot. what causes this. [16:08] chapai: is this hardy? [16:08] yes Afromonkey0 [16:08] I aldready know the diffrence, [16:08] Chapai, check your sys log! [16:08] chapai it's a known issue, never had it myself [16:08] But the emulator was made in Linux then in Windows [16:08] andy_: you can use " ps -AF | grep panel -" to find the process id then use "kill" to stop it. [16:08] hrm no help [16:09] chapai it's on the forums somewhere hang on [16:09] Georgij, if you did you wouldnt say things like " why doesnt anything work on linux" [16:09] anyone here know anything about Clam ? [16:09] neil_d i did killall but it just restarts automatically [16:09] i'm not getting any sound with pulseaudio, can anyone help ? [16:09] I'd be interested in the post too, Afromonkey0 [16:09] Fear_Lobster: what do you want to do with clamav? [16:09] Well nothing works [16:09] hey, my wireless finally worked on my laptop with the 8.04 release, so I am pretty happy with it. [16:09] in Linux [16:09] apperantly [16:09] Georgij, would you care to prove that theory? [16:09] I am deciding whether to install 8.04LTS on co-located servers, so I need to know if it's ready yet :) [16:09] yes [16:09] I havent gotten it working in any other linux distro other than ubuntu [16:09] Very nice [16:09] * Swish guesses not for a few months [16:09] !offtopic [16:09] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

At first the external monitor just displayed random colours and lines, I then install nvidia drivers and now it won't even detect the external monitor. Appreciate any help [16:10] guy who's hardy was freezing whos name i can't remeber, there's this [16:10] http://techxplorer.com/2008/04/23/fixing-random-freezes-in-ubuntu-804/ [16:10] Arrick, hehe! That's what we would be running it on. PE 860s and 2950s. You? [16:10] andy_: I think its meant to do that, you would probably need to remove it to stop it coming back. but that is a little drastic. [16:11] Fear_Lobster: you using avscan or clamtk as a front-end? [16:11] 2950's here Swish [16:11] let me check [16:11] Swish: there's the usual issues with ubuntu desktop (wireless card, 3d card, etc) but I've found the server to be quite stable [16:11] woo! With PERC 5i? [16:11] yep [16:11] Vlet, cool man [16:11] Swish: in other words, no problems at all :) [16:11] erUSUL: it's not even working on the live CD at standard configuration nor in the installed system, everytime i try to open sound with pulseaudio it says it's playing but i don't hear anything [16:11] Arrick, any issue getting the megaraid_sas driver working like there was in 6.06LTS? [16:11] the only thing I am having an issue with for desktop, is the network manager [16:11] not a bit SwedeMike [16:11] Swish ^ [16:11] neil_d i want to get rid of it temporarliy while i play a game [16:11] sweet! [16:11] that makes me happy :) [16:11] Arrick, did you install Dell OMSA also? [16:12] whoever's hardyheron was freezing, is your machine an HP? [16:12] Yodude: have you checked mute/volume in alsamixer and in pulseaudio configuration?? [16:12] i want to disable the gui deal that manages the network and set my nic's to automatically search for dhcp without having to be started by the netman [16:12] Swish yes [16:12] whoops, didn't have ether. which would you suggest? [16:12] andy_: you can use preference to make it 'auto hide' or put in 'hide buttons' [16:12] Afromonkey0, its me, its fujisemens [16:12] Arrick, same 5.2 OMSA package that people made for 6.06LTS or is there some other procedure? [16:12] xdcc list [16:12] erUSUL: all my alsa mixers are full, but i don't see any pulseaudio configuration box [16:12] there's this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=756906 [16:12] same one [16:12] Arrick: System>Admin>Net disable roaming mode for the card [16:12] kewl :) [16:12] i can't find the one i was looking at originally [16:13] that's excellent news Arrick [16:13] Fear_Lobster: dunno, i use it from the command line. Try both, see which you like [16:13] Yodude: have you instaled the packages pavumeter paprefs etc ??? [16:13] nevermind thanks for the time Afromonkey0 [16:13] which one is not command line? [16:13] erUSUL: no i'm no the livecd [16:13] is it just me or did the 8.04LTS .isos ship with the broken openSSL weak-key-generation code? [16:13] erUSUL: do i install them ? [16:13] andy_: is that what you are looking for ? [16:13] Yodude: try it [16:13] Swish: they shipped before the issue was known [16:14] Fear_Lobster: which ever has "front end" in the description [16:14] erUSUL its already unchecked in there. the problem is that it insists on using the wireless, and wont connect the LAN when I plug it in, i have to run ifup eth0 to get it to connect [16:14] Swish: yes they did. that didn't happen until after 8.04 was released [16:14] jbroome, yeah I noticed when I apt-get upgraded them that openSSL was fixed. do you know if there's a new .ISO coming out soon? [16:14] erUSUL: but aren't they supposed to be shipped working by default ?? how come evrybody else has it working ? [16:14] Swish: probably not until 8.04.1 comes out [16:14] neil_d kind of, but i dont really like autohide, id prefer them just to go when i run my game [16:14] jbroome, alright. Not a huge deal anyhow, but I know it might make the bossmen less nervous :) [16:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/flat_dark_ubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=darkflatubuntu.png -- how can i get this btw? [16:15] ok, I'm going to try clamtk, it has a gui [16:15] Swish: A new iso is planned to be released in June/July. [16:15] Yodude: mine worked by default yes. i was just trying to be constructive; [16:15] oh wait, the wireless has roaming enabled erUSUL, but uhmm, it wont disable [16:15] Pici, cool beans [16:15] Swish: i run and apt-get update && upgrade after a fresh install regardless [16:15] andy_: the 'hide buttons' is the only other way I know. [16:15] <^paradox^> anyone here know how to uninstall wurm? the mmorpg [16:15] jbroome, same here. I also ran dist-upgrade [16:15] eth01: I believe thats a mockup, not a real theme. [16:15] I forget what upgrade wouldn't fix, but dist-upgrade did install more things [16:15] erUSUL: btw did i say that the pipeline testing works ? [16:15] are there any good sites for learning command line? I really want to start learning. === Yvonne is now known as Yvonne_ [16:16] erUSUL: it doesn't give sound, but it doesn't give any kind of errors neither [16:16] <^paradox^> i didnt use a package manager or command line [16:16] That disk usage analyzation program that comes with ubuntu - it's in the accessories menu, I believe - what is it actually /called/? [16:16] how can i edit the background color of my menu's? [16:16] Fear_Lobster: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal Check More information at the bottom. [16:16] Fear_Lobster, experiment. First step is having an 8.04LTS virtual machine (or real machine) to play with. Then figure out what you want to do and google. Or start googling for "bash tutorial" [16:16] Or, rather, what's the package name? [16:16] Baughn: baobab [16:16] or I guess Pici already had a link! :D [16:16] ok, thank you [16:17] jbroome: bao..bab. Okay, I found it, but.. geez. [16:17] Pici: so where could i get themes? (gnome) [16:17] Baughn: yeah, i have to tabcomplete to find it. [16:17] Yodude: which player do you use to test sound it has pulseudio or esd enabled? [16:17] <^paradox^> started by clicking a link in firefox which then asked to open a file with java webstart [16:17] eth01: gnome-look.org [16:17] <[blackb]> /server irc.oltrelinux.com [16:17] how can i edit the background color of my menu's? [16:17] <^paradox^> it was installed like that [16:17] <[blackb]> /server irc.oltrelinux.com [16:17] ty [16:18] erUSUL: i'm just testing it using system-preferences-sound [16:18] anyone know good password generator other then apg [16:18] i miss ubuntu [16:18] Arrick, in the past few days I mastered setting up LVM2 on top of md RAID arrays via the debian/ubuntu installer, too. Very slick :) [16:18] erUSUL: alsa when selected works fine but pulseaudio no luck [16:18] <^paradox^> but wurm's not the game for me so id rather uninstall it. but im new to linux and im not sure how since package manager or command line wasnt used [16:19] yeah, I like it, especially with dynamic disks on demand Swish [16:19] <^paradox^> can anyone help? [16:19] * Swish has a 100MB /boot on just RAID1(md), then on another RAID1-md, I made an LVM split into three logical volumes: 2GB swap, 5GB /, and rest for /home [16:19] how can i edit the background color of my main menu's? === sparr_ is now known as sparr [16:19] I even failed a disk to make sure the system would boot, and it does :) [16:20] Yodude: all i can say that it works for me .... [16:20] although it takes a few minutes just sitting there before it proceeds to the intramfs prompt [16:20] Yodude: pulseaudio is running ? "ps ax | grep pulse " restarting it makes any difference? "sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart" [16:20] yea Swish its nice [16:21] Arrick, now the only thing I wonder is... should I even bother with the PERC5i card or just do RAID6 on our 6 drives with md? ;D [16:21] erUSUL: no luck [16:21] Swish: hardware raid, ftw [16:21] jbroome, sadly PERC5i isn't really hardware RAID :) [16:22] it's fakeraid! [16:22] exit' [16:22] quit [16:22] enterprise level fakeraid, but none-the-less.. :) [16:22] Yodude: Aplications>Sound and video>Pulseaudio device chooser [16:22] exit [16:22] joan, /exit [16:22] thanks [16:22] joan: /quit [16:22] :) [16:22] <^paradox^> anyone can help? [16:22] raid6 SwedeMike [16:22] is there any way to automatically disable my touchpad when i have an external mouse connected? [16:23] erUSUL:i'm installing the pulseaudio config apps sec [16:23] Arrick, right now we have it setup in RAID 10, which is very fast [16:23] yeah, but doesnt that take a lot of extra space Swish ? [16:23] !dualhead [16:23] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [16:23] probably not a bad idea to linux raid it with md in a RAID10 then. Yeah it "wastes" half the space [16:23] !leave [16:23] Factoid leave not found [16:23] but it's the fastest most resilliant way to RAID the drives [16:23] up to 3 drive failures before there's a problem [16:24] and it's 3x the speed of a single drive :) [16:24] erUSUL: it's a shame pulseaudio is such a mess in hardy, everything else is so perfect [16:24] (which is not bad for my purposes)... and the speed does not go down when the array is degraded, which was another plus [16:24] i need help with "Cannot mount volume" problem due to unclean shutdown. [16:25] garrett__: are you there? my irc client crashed [16:25] Yodude: worked for me :) i never had sound problems in ubuntu [16:25] gooody, can you mount it read-only? [16:25] hi, i just tried to upgrade ssh per the vulnerability announcement on a 6.06 server. the computer reported that ssh client and server packages were held back. How do I get this upgrade completed? [16:25] gooody or maybe run an fsck on it? [16:25] !dualhead [16:25] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [16:25] paul___: I don't believe the ssl bug affected 6.06 [16:25] paul___, check your existing openssl version anyway. you might have 0.9.8a which is not affected [16:25] Swish: sorry i'm new to linux and not familiar with mounting volumes. [16:25] paul___: sudo apt-get install held_packages [16:26] erUSUL, wow I didn't realize there was a thing for that :) I always just used apt-get dist-upgrade which didn't hold anything back [16:26] Swish: how can i run fsck? [16:26] Still, the bug did not affect 6.06 [16:27] gooody, i don't know off-hand how to mount an unclean volume. Google or maybe someone here will tell you :) [16:27] maybe just force the mount, I dunno [16:28] which themes would you guys recommend tho? [16:28] Swish: thanks anyway. [16:28] erUSUL: thanks, but that command didn't work for me. There's also a linux-image held back too. [16:28] paul___, that's a new kernel. beware if you do grab that :) [16:28] I would really appreciate any help with syslog, I am running 8.04 and I know I did all the configs but I can't see any logs [16:28] np gooog [16:28] gooody* [16:29] I did a netstat -u and I can't see the server listening on syslog port [16:30] erUSUL: i messed with the device choose and it worked ! [16:30] !yay | Yodude [16:30] Yodude: Glad you made it! :-) [16:30] erUSUL: seems like it's the two soundcards not being selected well [16:31] Yodude: congrats [16:31] anyone running TimeVault w/kubuntu? [16:32] how do i unrar on linux? [16:32] unrar e .... jansen [16:32] What is the command in a terminal to list hard drives? [16:32] well after installing unrar ofcourse [16:32] I want to see what the internal hard drive is being seen as. [16:32] a quick question before i leave: how easy is it to uninstall an ubuntu partition? Can it be done from inside windows? [16:32] Swish: I do have ssl version 0.9.8.a. So I don't have to upgrade? [16:32] apt-get install unrar? [16:33] hello , is there an option to update/change user password from livecd ? [16:33] or apt-get install rar? [16:33] unrar [16:33] Afromonkey0: just delete it? [16:33] join #Xubuntu [16:33] Woops [16:33] sparr: i've never done anything with partitions before [16:34] you need to be aware of the grub, Afromonkey0 restore to windows before you delete ubuntu [16:34] hi buddies' [16:34] hi [16:34] what's the magic behind the shell telling me: The program 'foo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install foo"? [16:34] lekro_, foo=what ever you put there [16:34] Bodsda: yea, but how does it work? [16:34] Bodsda: he wants to know how the package-to-get is determined [16:34] any one can help me about the idea of building Iptables fail over cluster [16:34] lekro_, the prog xchat is not installed install by doing sudo apt-get install xchat [16:34] Bodsda: how does the shell figure out the required package? === dc2447 is now known as jez [16:35] chapai: i don;t knwo what a grub is, but i'll cross that brindge when i come to it [16:35] !dpkg | lekro_ [16:35] lekro_: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [16:35] what do i have to add in the .bashrc when i want to set JAVA_HOME path? [16:35] chapai: i'm just considering moving from wubi to a full partiion, and i want to know its not permanent [16:35] lekro_, it should only say that if you try and use it or another package which has itas a dependency tries to use it [16:35] does anyone have a palm treo and know how to format the phone? [16:35] hey, anybody know a good program for wiring diagrams? [16:35] hi [16:36] lusius: i like 'crocodile clips' but htta may be windows only [16:36] paul___, correct, the "a" version is unaffected. only the "c" version and later are affected for openSSL [16:36] anyway later all, time for grub :) [16:36] which themes would you guys recommend tho? [16:36] Afromonkey0, a partition is permanent unless you delete it; no add/remove for that [16:36] grub? [16:36] Afromonkey0, maybe wine? [16:36] hahah poor choice of words. Food. ;D [16:36] grub is the linux boot loader, it usually overides windows' bootloader, if you just delet it, you cant load windows Afromonkey0 [16:36] My windows key doesn't seem to be working - xev shows it mapped to F13 but when I try and use it from withing openbox nothing happens? [16:37] lusius yeah that'd probably work, i don't knwo though [16:37] jez, have you selected the correct keyboard layout in xorg? [16:37] chapai: so there's no simple procedure in place to remove a linux partition? [16:38] Afromonkey0: did you install ubuntu on external usb hard drive? [16:38] Afromonkey0, hmm, i'll check it out ;) [16:38] <^paradox^> i still need some help uninstallin wurm [16:38] if its not wubi, you need to restore windows bootloader and then just delet the partition with ubuntu Afromonkey0 [16:38] Chapai: I think so [16:38] legend2440: no its my main c:/ drive with wubi [16:38] paradox what is wurm [16:39] bazhang: do you know how the shell calls dpkg to figure out (for example) that fsck.hfsplus is part of hfsprogs? I'm just wondering because dpkg -S fsck.hfsplus finds the package but takes like 10-20 seconds whereas the shell knows it immediately [16:39] if you are using wubi, its the easiest, just unstall using wubi Afromonkey0 [16:39] anyone plays cube here? [16:39] chapai: ok, it's just that my wubi install is upfucked and noone can fix it, i'm wondering if i should go with wubi again or go with a full partition. what do you think? [16:39] <^paradox^> its an online rpg game. i installed by clicking a link at wurm's site which asked me to open a file with java webstart [16:39] Afromonkey0: Please watch the language here. [16:39] lekro_, man dpkg or scour the web for that; this is a support channel [16:39] <^paradox^> it was installed that way [16:39] Afromonkey0, please with the language [16:40] ^paradox^: in terminal type sudo updatedb then locate wurm its probably all in the /opt directory [16:40] <^paradox^> i didnt use a package manager or terminal [16:40] sorry [16:40] hey [16:40] <^paradox^> i installed it to /home/thegreatdestroyer/Wurm [16:41] ^paradox^: then just delete that folder [16:41] that's a hell of a username, there [16:41] could someone help me with a scheduling issue [16:41] there is a little risk with full partition install, you need to know exactly what the default option wll do and specifically what partiotion is going to use, i almost lost my data when installing on my laptop, Afromonkey0 [16:41] <^paradox^> thats all? [16:42] chapai: i guess i'll stick with wubi then. thanks for the advice [16:42] <^paradox^> i dont wanna screw anything up [16:42] are there any virtual machine programs that i can run linux on? [16:42] ^paradox^: Thats all [16:42] no Afromonkey0 [16:42] ^paradox^: yes then if you want sudo updatedb then locate wurm to make sure its all gone [16:42] could someone help me with a scheduling issue? [16:42] Hi there, I'm looking forward to organize my mails in evolutions just as gmail does. In other words I would like to group every mail and his replays in a conversation.
