[00:00] Gr34t3st: Have you tried pushing F4 on the menu (after language selection) and selecting 'safe graphics mode' and then selecting install, that's what I had to do. [00:00] Laney, lol, sorry [00:00] np [00:00] YixilTesiphon, that's.. crazy [00:00] I'm using coverflow GDM and it's supposed to but none are showing up. [00:00] Dreamsorcerer: Yeah I tried that. Let me try again. [00:00] Lanlost: that's what I thought [00:01] afallenhope if you did a windows system restore you dont have grub unless you reinstalled after that === rogerramjet is now known as rogerramjet1 [00:01] Lanlost, only seems to be an issue for certain apps, but might explain why i can't run WoW :P [00:01] Would a link to the theme I'm using help? [00:01] If i set a grace period what happens to the files once that time has passed? do they get deleted? [00:01] Dreamsorcerer: Did you have the same problem as me? The blank screen? [00:02] I get the blank screen with the cursor as well. [00:02] When trying to install under QEMU. [00:02] YixilTesiphon, are you sure it's not just a coincidence? I mean, I'm sure you've tested this to make sure.. I just can't think of how they would even be connected in that way [00:02] shinjin I will take a quick look .. [00:02] Lanlost: it has happened four times [00:02] http://paullinux.creations.googlepages.com/home [00:03] is there anything like visual studio for ubuntu? [00:03] is there a plugin that lets me see when people sign in? [00:03] DSL -> router = ok. DSL-> router -> computer = DSL ! Router [00:03] Jack_Sparrow: welll.. how would I reinstall it lol [00:03] Dreamsorcerer: can you help me [00:03] or [00:03] Bizzeh: What are you trying to develop? What language? [00:03] Wait, I fdound the problem. [00:03] hello, I want to run windows and linux. Should I install a dual boot, or should I run virtual machines, and if I start using vm which one? xen, qemu, VMware, etc..?

I have run "sudo adduser david vtune" and yet when i execute it still complains that the user needed added to vtune group [00:04] Gr34t3st: I didn't have the blinking line, just a black screen the moment the splash screen had finished loading up Ubuntu [00:04] How do I change the pictures that appear next to the names? [00:04] shinjin that looks good, glad you found the problem [00:04] try virtualbox [00:04] nvm found that one to [00:04] Dreamsorcerer: Were you overwriting windows ME? [00:04] Thanks for the help everyone [00:04] When my (Ubuntu 8.04) computer awakes from sleep it says something about drm_sysfd restore failed. What is drm_sysfs and what does it do? [00:04] hello, in download section only appears intel x86 and amd64 bits..intel x86 has support for both 32 and 64bits? or is only for 32bits? [00:04] np [00:05] Jack_Sparrow: yes yes yes rtfm I get it but I don't understand... what't eh point of this channel if you guys simply point ppl to a manual? it's a HELP channel [00:05] Dillizar: What makes you think you're screen may be unsupported? [00:05] 32 bit [00:05] Crow 32 bit [00:05] Cr0w: the x86 version is 32-bit but works on 32-bit and 64-bit machines [00:05] dri: virtualbox, is that the best choice? [00:05] dri: virtualbox is rather good yeah [00:05] Cr0w- EM64T enabled processors will work with 64 bit versions of ANY operating system [00:05] inetl processors anyway.. who even uses amd :P [00:06] in pidgin messenger, how do i download libnotify [00:06] Dreamsorcerer: cuz i cant change the resolution and if i chage to liek 640 i my hz are like 60 or smt [00:06] afallenhope we didnt say rtfm... but you need to have a basic understanding of the problem in order for us to properly help you [00:06] i damaged my ubuntu7.04, after trying to upgrade directly to 8.04 -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [00:06] or Dreamsorcerer the pic goes crazyyyyyyyyyyyy [00:06] Gr34t3st: Nope, installing it in a second partition, with 7.10 in already in the first partition [00:06] Just did a fresh install of Hardy, resolution on monitor was perfect, install complete, rebooted, now I get Sync Out of Range [00:06] what VM will fully utilize the 64 processor and the nvidia graphics card? [00:06] what is the best way to deal with that? [00:06] ok, just a question. I have this HP hub here, and I can't use it at all (Got it used), and I'm wanting to get in there using a Serial Cable and an ASCII Console to see if I can find any settings... how would I do that? [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: I know... but it's how it feels. Try to undertsand that not everyone is a guru. I apprecitate the help I'm just,.. I don't know.. frustrated. [00:06] i m going to re-install 7.04, does that means that: i have to update everything, before upgrade to 7.10 ? [00:06] ringer: look for libnotify in the package manager [00:06] Bizzeh: Depends on how much code assistance and stuff you want. I'm not sure why you care what language your IDE is written in. Are you looking for something very invasive and full featured or something more simplistic and hands-off? [00:06] DemonicButthead, do u mean that i should downalod amd64 for intel micro? (i dont speak english very well) [00:06] Jack_Sparrow: I know... but it's how it feels. Try to undertsand that not everyone is a guru. I apprecitate the help I'm just,.. I don't know.. frustrated. [00:06] eHome As you found out.. you cant go from 704 to 810 [00:06] oops [00:07] sorry for the double post/ [00:07] afallenhope did you read the link we gave you [00:07] Starnestommy: simple as that? sweet thanks! [00:07] I trying to use the intel vtune software that required the user to be a member of the vtune group but i cant get myself properly added. I have run "sudo adduser david vtune" and yet when i execute it still complains that the user needed added to vtune group [00:07] the fix grub one? [00:07] !fixgrub [00:07] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [00:07] !grub [00:07] that one?

[00:07] my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but now going online on gyachi?? Help [00:07] tvynr: intelisence, makes things easier, right click on a #include and open... stuff like that... and i care about what its writen in, because i feel dirty having java installed, nevermind using it... its the most horrid thing in the world, has ruened so many good programmers [00:07] check out the price of this hamburger. http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=82866&videoChannel=1 [00:08] afallenhope specifically https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [00:08] Dillizar: ermm, sounds like you may have a similar problem to me, will require some xorg.conf changing, have you got MSN messenger or something? [00:08] how to convert tgz to deb in gnome [00:08] Cr0w: The "amd64" architecture is used by AMD and Intel alike. Intel just calls it EM64T 'cause they don't want to put anything with "AMD" in it on their stuff. It's generically called x86_64, but the name amd64 caught on. [00:08] eHome that will do it [00:08] Jack_Sparrow: I didn't install Windows though.. Windows was installed before anything [00:08] When my (Ubuntu 8.04) computer awakes from sleep it says something about drm_sysfd restore failed. What is drm_sysfs and what does it do? [00:08] i would like to use kdevelop, but i CBA with half of kde being installed just to use it [00:08] yes [00:08] yes Dreamsorcerer [00:08] tvynr, ok, thanks :) [00:08] afallenhope you said you did a windows system restore, or did I miss something [00:09] hey gang [00:09] yes Dreamsorcerer that was the problem :P [00:09] Jack_Sparrow: i mean: in order to save time: can i do this: re-install 7.04, then upgrade to 7.10 directly ? [00:09] Jack_Sparrow: yeah... and it didn't work... [00:09] Dreamsorcerer: roadiechuck@hotmail.com [00:09] eHome yes [00:09] or does that screw stuff up? [00:09] Jack_Sparrow: [00:09] afallenhope it DID wipe out grub.. [00:09] dang it. [00:09] Jack_Sparrow: ok thank. i m trying now. [00:10] afallenhope it is the same as reinstalling windows [00:10] Jack_Sparrow: it's still on my linux partition thouhg:-s [00:10] I can see my partitions on the live CD [00:10] hey everyone, is there a tutorial about init.d that you all could point me to? i want to take an app and run it as a daemon === Effex is now known as Effe-Bed [00:10] Jack_Sparrow: i discovered that ubuntu is not secure: i have XP+ubuntu, yesterday i install ubuntu on a USB, when i login usb-ubuntu, i can see anything in my pc-ubuntu ? [00:10] I'm working off a fresh install of HH 8.04 and all audio drivers and utilities were installed and worked out of the box. I did have to un-mute my PCM in alsamixer in terminal, but I am still left with one problem. When I adjust my master volume either by using the buttons on my keyboard or using the Volume Control: HDA Intel (Alsa mixer), the "Master" volume doesn't adjust the loudness of my PCM/SPDIF output? Anyone know why? [00:11] Jack_Sparrow: is that a big ubuntu security hole ? [00:11] Bizzeh: Being a Java developer by day and a Python programmer by night, I'm afraid I'd have to disagree with you. But you're allowed your preferences. :) How about http://www.codeblocks.org/ ? I've never used it, but a cursory Google and a look at the screenshots seems nice. [00:11] my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but now going online on gyachi?? Help [00:11] Soopa, they're just shell scripts. Maybe have a look at /etc/init.d/skeleton? [00:11] nope, it's still not working and when i go to a terminal as david and type groups, vtune doesnt show up [00:11] my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but not going online on gyachi?? Help [00:11] afallenhope, make sure you put the name of who you are speaking to with every line [00:11] could someone give me advice on configuring grub for md raid? [00:11] @#$%^& blah gstreamer i hate you T__T; [00:11] but when i type sudo adduser david vtune it says user already added [00:11] Soopa, you can copy that, and then fill in the details. [00:11] can anyone point me in the right direction for enableing s-video output on a ati radeon 9600 in hardy? [00:12] i have a machine with /boot = sda2, / = md0, but i can't get past GRUB on boot [00:12] LinuxNIT: i hear fedora works with that sort of thing... [00:12] Jack_Sparrow: /media/disk-1 (linux) and /media/disk (Windows) [00:12] IrishDavid, doesn't user david already exist? [00:12] m0u5e, are you saying ubuntu cant do it? [00:12] LinuxNIT: no, but if you figure out how, i would like to know too :X [00:13] its my 3rd day that i am calling for the same help, but the Nature is against me these days i think :) [00:13] well fedora wont install on my laptop so im out there [00:13] LinuxNIT: i don't know why, but to me it seems like there has been a regression with video output to external displays... [00:13] eHome doesnt sound like a security hole. did you use the same user name and password on both? [00:13] afallenhope, can you see /media/disk-1/boot/grub ? [00:13] micahcowan, he does but i am attempting to get him as a user in group vtune as the vtune program requires this for launch but it keeps complaining [00:13] SeaPhor: yes I cam [00:13] LinuxNIT: have you tried playing around with the screen resolution utility under system>preferences? [00:13] can* [00:13] Jack_Sparrow: no. it's different user name [00:14] yes i have m0u5e [00:14] Jack_Sparrow: i would say it is a security hole. as i login from usb, and can edit anything on pc-ubuntu [00:14] LinuxNIT: did it even detect the display? [00:14] 2nd display is disabled and i cant enable it [00:14] my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but not going online on gyachi?? Help [00:14] its my 3rd day that i am calling for the same help, but the Nature is against me these days i think :) [00:14] afallenhope, thats probably the part that needs to be known, and you missed his name in that last post [00:15] unless i make it my default screen [00:15] eHome, I know what you mean as I am doing the same thing here in terms of logging in from usb [00:15] Is my gpg key vulerable to the debian/ubuntu openssl thing? [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: so ubuntu is heckable -- IrishDavid [00:15] eHome, it's effectively the same as taking the hard drive and plugging it into another system [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: and much easier to be hecked than XP [00:15] SeaPhor: okay... so I'm confused as to what I do lol. [00:15] eHome sorry, but I really really need to go... physical access is not the same as hackable... [00:16] IrishDavid, AIUI adduser is for creating wholly new users. [00:16] eHome, it requires physical access to the system [00:16] IrishDavid: ok - :) [00:16] micahcowan, it is also for adding users to a group... [00:16] I'm sorry to everyone though. I know you're all like :what a noob: [00:16] micahcowan, check the output from adduser --help because i checked to make sure i was right [00:17] IrishDavid: now i got a question. when i installed ubuntu in usb. everytime i have to plug the usb to boot pc, if not , i got an error" grub error 21 " [00:17] IrishDavid, is it? I've never done it that way... but then I usually use vigr. ...usermod should also be usable for that. [00:17] Does gksudo use the same sudoers file as normal sudo? [00:17] IrishDavid: but sometime i'd like to use my pc-ubuntu [00:17] blah banshee can't play my mp3s... yet movie player can play them :/ [00:17] afallenhope, tell him you can see /media/disk-1/boot/grub from the live cd, and ask if that makes any difference, i'm logging for a while else i'd try [00:17] AzMoo: i believe so [00:17] eHome, i got the same problem on one of my laptops when i tried to use it, but every other system i boot on has worked (system that supports usb booting) [00:18] SeaPhor: okay thanks [00:18] m0u5e: That's what I thought too. [00:18] IrishDavid, what's the output of "grep ^david /etc/group" ? [00:18] my creative vista webcam is working fine with cheese and xtv.. but not going online on gyachi?? Help [00:18] micahcowan, it does work, but then again it doesnt seem to be working for me right now..... still trying [00:18] its my 3rd day that i am calling for the same help, but the Nature is against me these days i think :) [00:18] afallenhope, no, i'll be back in a hour or so [00:18] micahcowan: oh, cool.. thanks! [00:18] david:x:1000: [00:18] does anyone elses banshee simply not play mp3s? [00:18] Any idea why my sudoers configuration works in a terminal but not from a shortcut? [00:18] david:x:1000: micahcowan [00:19] IrishDavid, sorry, I should have given you grep ^vtune, instead. [00:19] hello, any recommended apps to dump sprites and tilemaps from nes roms? [00:19] AzMoo: it should? try alt+f2 and type gksu [00:19] i got a 7.04CD, no 8.04CD, is there a better way to install 8.04, instead of install 7.04->upgrade to 7.10->8.04 ? [00:19] Jack_Sparrow: hey! I can see the /media/disk-1/boot/grub from the live CD which is located at /dev/sda5 [00:19] if that works, your shortcuts should work too [00:19] eHome: yes just install 8.04 Hardy Heron [00:19] vtune:x:100: [00:19] eHome: go to www.ubuntu.com and download the latest cd or ask them to ship it to you [00:19] anyone care to nominate a best linux chat client? [00:20] m0u5e: howto? i do not have the CD -- good on you :) [00:20] tanath: if you're using gnome i strongly recommend xchat-gnome [00:20] tanath: I personally like X-Chat [00:20] hello [00:20] eHome: you can either download it, or ask them to ship it to you [00:20] m0u5e: i like xchat, but that's just for irc [00:20] !hi | Piglet64 [00:20] Piglet64: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:20] tanath: xchat-gnome best bet probably if you are using ubuntu [00:20] hi [00:20] tanath: oh like pidgin? [00:20] m0u5e: seems have to install from a liveCD [00:20] m0u5e: yes [00:20] tanath: i've never really tried kopete but i've heard good things about it [00:20] dkt: what about for more than irc? [00:20] tanath: if you're using gnome pidgin if your using KDE kopete [00:21] tanath: theres also a new client called empathy which i hear will replace pidgin in gnome 2.24 [00:21] !hi | jbalint [00:21] jbalint: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:21] tanath: pidgin? [00:21] I have an old computer [00:21] how can i get the el source for emacs? seems it was included in 21.4, but not longer in 22.1 [00:21] i'm using pidgin, but i was hoping for something better [00:21] /msg ubottu etiquette [00:21] hey micahcowan I managed to get it working :) [00:21] IrishDavid, yeah? How? [00:21] maybe something that can support audio calls on gtalk, for instance [00:21] not that old dell 4600c/p4 2.6G/738M DDR/60G/nvidia 7300 [00:21] i reinstalled with me already added to the group :) [00:21] is there a way to reinstall an entire app dep tree? [00:21] Weird.. I went to a terminal and typed compiz and it loaded compiz over top of the desktop effects that were already loaded. So I ctrl-c it and now I don't have window borders. [00:21] i think it was just me being silly micahcowan [00:21] tanath: well i like pidgin ;-) works for me and what i need hehe... what are you missing from pidgin that you are looking for? [00:22] I am thinking to put an ubuntu linux into it [00:22] tanath: then I would suggest aMSN for MSN and Pidgin [00:22] IrishDavid, I was about to suggest Administration -> Users and Groups [00:22] for example, if i'm not sure if one of my packages is corrupt, i want to reinstall all apps which banshee deps on [00:22] anyone know anything about ubuntu-xbox? [00:22] IrishDavid, Or maybe sudo vigr (that's how I always edit groups) [00:22] micahcowan, I had been in there and done that, it may have just been me doing some silly [00:22] can i be like... sudo aptitude reinstall banshee --FIXEVERYTHING********? xD [00:22] dkt: pidgin doesn't support audio calls or file transfers on google talk, or status changing/updating on msn [00:22] dkt: nor any video calling [00:22] micahcowan, ill remember that, thanks :) [00:22] Should I put the latest version or should I put some older version into it [00:23] afallenhope: amsn is good for msn, but i'd like to use a multiprotocol client so as not to have to run multiple clients [00:23] IrishDavid, vigr uses vi for editing by default, I think, though, so may not be what you want (unless you first mess with the VISUAL env var). [00:23] Does the new version have too much for the hardware [00:23] Anyone know how to recover my GRUB if it's located at "/media/disk-1/boot/grub" [00:23] I'm on a linux LIVE Cd. [00:24] ok, just a question. I have this HP hub here, and I can't use it at all (Got it used), and I'm wanting to get in there using a Serial Cable and an ASCII Console to see if I can find any settings... how would I do that? [00:24] ubunt2ok: afaik ubuntu on xbox hasn't seen much love, it may be easier to go with gentoo, which still has an active profile for xbox. [00:24] tanath: i don't like amsn... in my experience its clunky, and crashes frequently [00:24] afallenhope: i don't know about recovering it... wwhy not just try reinstall grub? [00:24] i wouldnt use gentoo on xbox for moral reasons [00:24] Bizzeh: moral reasons? :3 [00:25] I will need this computer mostly for the web browse/multimedia/a light file server for the home network [00:25] since shallax did all the work, then gentoo took credit for it and kicked him off the team and took his work [00:25] Bizzeh: ah i c [00:25] m0u5e: I'd reinstall it but there's more than one Partition... there's my XP recovery partition and my Media Center, as well as my Windows partision [00:25] m0u5e: i used to have issues with amsn, but it seems good now. it's a bit iffy with sound though, but that's it [00:25] IS it possible to set GPU fan speed in ubuntu? [00:26] its another one of those things that claim to be "a movment of freedom" when its more of an act of comunism, "do what we say or your gone" [00:26] tanath: i dun like it >__<; (but then again's pidgins constant "error: msg could not be send errors" are annoying too) [00:26] Fritzel: anything is possible [00:26] How do i undo a installation with synaptic] [00:26] m0u5e: i don't seem to get that in pidgin... [00:26] afallenhope, you should try LinuxMint, it has a Live CD. It's an ubuntu derivative and the best I've used. [00:26] Anyone, jim-Dandy, better question, how can it be done? [00:26] m0u5e: which protocol? [00:26] Bizzeh: there needs to be a balance (like all good things) between individuality and communistic ideologies [00:26] when i forgot the stuff i installed [00:26] tanath: sorry cant help you, i don't have any use for the features === artenius is now known as noble- [00:27] m0u5e: personally, i think xchat is the best for irc, amsn is the best for msn, and pidgin seems the best all-around [00:27] Lanlost: what do you mean derivative? [00:27] t [00:27] does anyone have any words of insight on best music players / organizers for gnome? [00:27] m0u5e: amarok [00:27] Rythombox is pretty good [00:27] ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso vs ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso --> what's the difference? [00:27] tanath: for gnome :X [00:27] m0u5e: amarok for the win. it pwns all [00:27] m0u5e: xmms2! lol [00:27] tanath: i don't like amarok... its too feature bloated -__-; [00:27] m0u5e: what im trying to get at is, gentoo claim to be about freedom, yet they took his name out of all the source he wrote.... they wouldnt dare do that with any gnu supplied code [00:27] dkt: i use audacious [00:27] m0u5e: who cares. i use gnome, but i still use amarok [00:27] m0u5e: fine. audacious :P [00:28] m0u5e: i like listen for gnome [00:28] Help! i accidently installed crap and i need to undo the install, but i dont remember what i installed, is there a way to recover?? [00:28] libcaca [00:28] is ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso used to install directly from c:\ [00:29] tanath: blaghalgagha why won't it play T__T [00:29] IS it possible to set GPU fan speed in ubuntu? And how can it be done [00:29] m0u5e: ? [00:29] tanath: i'm trying to get rhythm box working but it refuses to want to play [00:29] hisingh1: usually if crap is involved, some tp and maybe a little water will clean it up [00:29] eHome, most likely you'll want to use the regular desktop iso [00:29] tanath: omg it works LOL [00:29] eHome, I think [00:29] ok, new problem.. when I close the lid on my laptop and then open it, the video is gone to crap, IBM Thinkpad T60p, and I cant bring back the normal video, any ideas would be appreciated [00:29] tanath: for some reason it didnt want to play with audacious... [00:29] gd morning [00:29] Fritzel: well i m thinking of installing from non-CD [00:30] eHome, if via wubi I have no idea I 've never used it [00:30] m0u5e: have the plugins? configured properly? [00:30] jim-Daddy funny, but can i undo a install [00:30] i would like to name and shame someone [00:30] asdfasdf [00:30] m0u5e: oh, i see it works now. good stuff [00:30] IS it possible to set GPU fan speed in ubuntu? And how can it be done? [00:30] asf [00:30] tanath: dunno what happened but it works now... [00:30] Fritzel: is it a waste that ubuntu has to be installed from a liveCD ? [00:30] http://www.navicat.com <<< download their "linux version"... its the windows version pre set up with wine.... [00:30] tanath: i like how banshee looks (and its simplicity) but rhythmbox seems to have improved since i last saw it [00:31] m0u5e: hardy's sound seems messed up [00:31] tanath: while banshee seems to still be extremely alpha :/ [00:31] anyone has some suggestion? [00:31] tanath: yeah... it is ... (they should just adopt phonon and be overy with it xD) [00:31] Bizzeh please not in here.. [00:31] m0u5e: rhythmbox improved? cool. i thought it was decent before, but amarok still owns it [00:31] eHome, certainly not in fact I much prefer it that way, it gives you time to play your favorite flash game while you're installing the os ^^ [00:31] m0u5e: phonon? [00:31] mOuse: if you run Wine you can have winamp if you really want [00:31] eHome, only bad part is the install doesn't take long enough and I usually have to quit my game :( [00:32] mmm... i wish there was instant search & highlight (like firefox) in xchat-gnome... so i could find and highlight previous comments by certain users [00:32] is there a way stop installation to eject the CD after install? [00:32] mOuse: or Foobar 2000 even if you run it in WIne === Arrick is now known as Arrick_School [00:32] Piglet64: if its any indiciation i'm on a 512mb RAM inspiron 1150 [00:32] SebNaitsabes: i try to stick to native apps [00:32] IS it possible to set GPU fan speed in ubuntu? And how can it be done? [00:32] SebNaitsabes: yeah, otherwise i'd use uTorrent for everything [00:33] anyways, gtg cya'll :0 [00:33] Fritzel: LOL [00:33] hello everybody.. can anyone answer meif we need to remove an USB device?? (stop the USB device like in windows) or you can just remove it withouth saying the SO you will rmeove? [00:33] m0u5e: what are you using? you not using xchat? [00:33] jansen: you should unmount it before you remove it (right click on device and say unmount) [00:33] tanath: i'm using xchat-gnome [00:33] oh [00:33] ty [00:33] okay cya'll :D [00:33] jansen, well if it's a disk you'll generally want to unmount it but other than that you're typically ok I believe [00:33] m0u5e: same here, but let's be honest, certain native apps suck really. as in the music players and MSN clients [00:34] talking about msn clients, amsn doesnt highlight when i get a new message [00:34] fs [00:34] anyone know how to prevent irc windows in pidgin from stealing focus? [00:34] Is there a more "high-powered" or "advanced" session manager for gnome?..In particular I want all my command terminals and windows (like eclipse) to open automatically when I login. The "save session automatically" only seems to restore things like firefox. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. [00:34] m0use SebNaitsabes, and the fan overclocking utilities for the gpu [00:34] m0u5e: And you are in the latest ubuntu? What is your cpu? [00:34] other chats don't, but irc does [00:34] I am looking for a distro that is great. I've tried (K)ubuntu before, right now I'm using Fedora 9. I love Kubuntu, but it seems to be a little "slow" in some areas. Perhaps this is just because of KDE, I'm not sure. I want a distro debian based, with kde, besides kubuntu, are there any? [00:34] Fritzel: your saying those suck to? I don't know about those [00:35] any experts in synaptic?? [00:35] \ [00:35] SebNaitsabes, well I can't find one, so in that it sucks [00:35] Fritzel: gpu is to do with opengl? [00:35] hisingh1: yes, run sudo apt-get install *. That'll fix everything! (Noone EVER run this command, please!) [00:35] quick question, I tried googling, but I think i must be phrasing this wrong: I just installed emerald on 8.04 and now some of the menus in my apps are way to tiny, and I didn't see an option to adjust menu fonts in emerald, any idea, or is there a directive to add to the config file? [00:35] <`Kermudge> Simple question. Is there a script or something that I can add to Xchat that allows for auto ops? [00:36] if someone here has the ISO of the alternate install CD of ubuntu with them could they tell me what the names of the files are called in the isolinux dir in the ISO [00:36] SebNaitsabes, more the other way around, but yes you're on the right track, the gpu is the hardware that processes the instructions opengl gives it, (that's a users rendition of what actually happens and 90% guesswork) [00:36] matt_, heh, that wouldn't work anyway :P [00:36] Fritzel: well I got an opengl problem [00:36] woiiiii anjing [00:36] does dpkg-reconfigure log the commands it runs somewhere? [00:36] tanath: oh, wouldn't it? Oh well [00:37] anyone know how to fix login screen size? [00:37] Is there a link that shows me how I should set up my HDD partitions so I can dual boot XP - Ubuntu? [00:37] SebNaitsabes, what type of graphics card and does "glxinfo |grep direct" give you "Yes" [00:37] eric_noob: emerald-theme-manager [00:37] Fritzel: the graphics card not sure, some Nividia one though I guess [00:37] matt_, there'd be dependency conflicts [00:37] I don't see the option in the theme manager for menu size [00:37] only titlebar size [00:37] SebNaitsabes, know thine hardware [00:37] woiii ngewe [00:37] matt_ do you know how to undo an install without knowing the package you installed from synaptic [00:37] how to configure clamav run on startup [00:37] hisingh1: NOPE [00:37] anjinggg [00:37] hey guys, [00:38] tanath: so..it'd be best do do something like sa* or such :) [00:38] I checked everywhere for this [00:38] tanath: better change or working.. [00:38] cobra girl ular cewe [00:38] matt_, for certain values of 'best' :P [00:38] matt_anjing [00:38] anyone know how to undo an install without knowing the package you installed from synaptic [00:38] IS it possible to set GPU fan speed in ubuntu? And how can it be done? [00:38] I have a problem with evolution encoding certains tags of an email [00:38] hisingh1: why do you need to uninstall whatever it is? [00:39] Fritzel: how to find out my graphics card? and it seems to be an open GL problem. I installed a program earlier Zattoo Player and it won't open from the menu, so I put it on desktop right clicked and got the opening command and in the terminal I get: http://pastebin.com/m76c744f8 [00:39] i am trying to install a .deb package but i get an error message from the installer...it could be i am not as a administrator?....is it any way to do it from terminal? [00:39] with ISO-8859-1 in the CC and From fields [00:39] Where is the emerald manager can I adjust the menu (File,Edit,etc.), not the titlebar, font size?

[00:43] legend2440, i found it in the properties for synaptic; txs [00:43] SebNaitsabes, ok first thing you need to do is find out what brand of video card you have Nvidia or ATI (and that's not something I know how to check) next thing you should do is install envyng and install the correct video card driver after that you should be able to progress past where you are now [00:43] tanath the .deb package give me an error message still...saids the codec is already installed is there anyways to copy the file to a different directory?

It resides in the mutiverse repository and can easily be installed via applications -> add/remove. For codecs try !codecs [01:12] is there any way I can get to GUI from BusyBox? Sory for being kinda boring with this question :) [01:12] jim-Dandy, i didn't realize it would matter since it was on my local lan. not port 9100 either. the browsing for it was still not getting through [01:12] My question can't be found at the wifi documents [01:12] Jav13r, sudo apt-get remove mozilla-thunderbird [01:13] Does anyone know how to fix the Firefox Flash video issue? It keeps crashing when I try to play a flash video [01:13] NicholasBernhard: setting up a wifi with Linux depending on your hardware can be a right issue, because of lack of Linux manufacture suppourt [01:13] afall another thing you might try is streamtuner if you want to listen to streams [01:13] jramsey: its done [01:13] what repo has cinelerra? [01:13] avatarone: what gui? busybox already provides that... [01:13] Jav13r, use Synaptic; search for thunderbird, mark the mozilla-thunderbird and then click apply [01:13] !info cinelerra [01:13] Package cinelerra does not exist in hardy [01:13] reya276: works for me [01:13] how do i change a folder icon using python?

[01:14] "nobody knows" there [01:14] SebNaitsabes: I had xubuntu and everything works. I've switched to ubuntu and roaming no longer works (everything worked in xubuntu) [01:14] or so they claim [01:14] reya276: maybe that's why [01:14] yes version 9 [01:14] Tanath: I just get BusyBox that looks DOS like, so it's just a shell i persume [01:14] anyone ever get bridge-utils working? [01:14] reya276: flashplugin-nonfree is version 9 [01:14] can someone help: how do i fix this "*** The resources directory 'resdir' is missing!" [01:14] NicholasBernHard: Xubuntu could be installed I mean then you got Ubuntu and Xubuntu [01:14] can't load Ubuntu [01:15] I've been updrading to latest ubuntu since 4pm [01:15] tanath: no it is not because it works just great on my work PC buddy [01:15] I've tried startx [01:15] avatarone: hrm. well you could run 'gnome-panel' for gnome... [01:15] avatarone: no, x is already running [01:15] where do i go for compiz support? [01:15] NicholasBernHard: in fact if you had known this is what you should have done :) with your working Xubuntu get ubuntu-desktop [01:15] avatarone: try logging into a different session [01:15] how can I run gnome-panel? [01:15] tanath: and I'm running the same OS(hardy) [01:15] Housefly7k: i believe #compiz-fusion is the channel [01:15] SebNaitsbes: Point taken. [01:16] avatarone: you could run 'gnome-panel &' in terminal [01:16] NicholasBernHard: that's right you can have Xubuntu/XFCE KDE/Kubuntu and Ubuntu/Gnome and other window managers all in the same install [01:16] NicholasBernhard: thanks [01:16] btw, thanx for taking time to answer my question [01:16] hello everyone [01:16] avatarone: but you should be able to choose another session, such as gnome, from the login screen [01:16] NicholasBernHard: which Xubuntu verison was it? [01:16] where is conky config file in ub 8.04 [01:16] SebNaitsabes: Hardy Heron 8.04 [01:16] So is the ubuntu [01:16] d[X_X]b, your home folder .conky.rc [01:16] hey, friend has pentium celeron 800 mhz. Will 8.04 work on that machine or woefully slow.....this is for a newbie Linux user [01:16] so, does anybody know how to do such thing? I mean, change the folder's icon via python to a folder [01:17] I get: /bin/sh: gnome-panel: not found [01:17] NicholasBernHard: look around the menus there should be stuff for setting up a network connection [01:17] I don't get login screen [01:17] jramsey: i removed. then installed via synaptic. and guess what. same #%^&*! problem [01:17] from loading it gets me straight to busybox [01:17] Thanks, I'll see what I can turn up. [01:17] kisid_one what if it isnt there? i just installed it [01:17] :S [01:17] woli: you're prolly best off looking for help with python in the #python channel [01:17] NicholasBernHard: system administation network try that [01:17] d[X_X]b, you can make one, just grab a template online and name it .conky.rc [01:18] thank you [01:18] d[X_X]b, are you viewing hidden items [01:18] yesd [01:18] tanath, sorry for double-asking, but I told you that they refered me this channel on #python, because nobody claimed to know how to do it [01:18] hello [01:18] d[X_X]b, the "." before conky is important [01:18] hey, friend has pentium celeron 800 mhz. Will 8.04 work on that machine or woefully slow.....this is for a newbie Linux user [01:18] tanath: ok I re-install the flash-nonfree plugin [01:18] hey, uh, does anyone know how i'd go about editing my winxp registry from linux? [01:18] Dante123: how old is the computer? [01:19] preferrably within the ubuntu gui? [01:19] kisid_one yea i guess you mean . for hidden [01:19] Help with dual-monitors on hardy needed...any help [01:19] d[X_X]b, yea [01:19] how can i remove shockwave flash add-on from firefox? [01:19] is better to hide with the .hidden list file i think [01:19] Dante123, should work if it slow he/she could always try xbuntu [01:19] uninstall flashplayer-nonfree [01:19] hbaolong: you got it from the network ? [01:19] wittyphotons: there is a wine registry editor [01:19] specially if you use the same folders in another os [01:19] yes. [01:19] or flashplugin-nonfree, can't remember the name [01:19] wittyphotons: or do you mean the registry from an actual winxp install? [01:19] is there a chan for xubuntu [01:19] bbalong: open a termianl and sudo apt-get purge flashplayer-nonfree [01:20] SebNaitsabes I have no idea. Does has 512 memory [01:20] #xubuntu [01:20] ty [01:20] Dante123: yes Ubuntu should run good with 512 [01:20] OK,i'll try it . [01:20] hbaolong, are you trying to remove flash or flash from firefox? [01:20] wittyphotons: not sure if there's an app for that, but you could use a livedisc for windows [01:20] yes. [01:20] Dante123: it's not VIsta :d with a 1GB requirement === onechard is now known as slinker [01:20] okay, will give that a try. My main thing is that ubuntu looks good and is fairly easy for newbies...that is why I want to stick with regular ubuntu... [01:21] how much systematic RAM does ubuntu use? [01:21] the shockwave is bad for flash, i want install another one. [01:21] why does it say doesn't support RPM installation' [01:21] Dante123, SebNaitsabes - it is going to run a little slow, you should use xubuntu or fluxbuntu [01:21] Dante123: also other distros to look at if Ubuntu is not so good on that computer [01:21] tanath, what is a livedisc for windows? [01:21] hi all im trying to play a dvd movie in ubuntu and its looking like scrambled porn? [01:21] SebNaitsabes....I think Vista needs at least 2gb doesn't it. I was thinking of puppy linux if ubuntu is too slow [01:21] the way to install ubuntu [01:21] Dante123: well yes use another window manager desktop envrionemnt such as Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu if Gnome is running not so well. or try another distro such as Damn Small Linux [01:21] all i get is (initramfs) ... [01:21] hbaolong, check the .mozilla folder, you can remove the simlink to flash [01:22] Dante123: or Puppy Linux [01:22] you insert disc, use ubuntu as if it was installed, and then install ubuntu from it [01:22] ak47 cause rpm is for red het you need to get alien a prog that makes a rpm into a .deb [01:22] hbaolong, give me a sec and i will check [01:22] Hi everyone, quick question...I just installed Apache2 and all the files are in var/www which isn't writable by the default user. [01:22] I was wondering should I move them? [01:22] Dante123: this computer is 1GB RAM Ubuntu is my primary OS, but I sometimes boot up Vista Home Premium and it runs quite well with 1GB RAM [01:22] OK, wait for u. [01:22] wittyphotons: there are live discs which are based on windows, which allow you to do various things, like registry editing [01:22] unable to get via vt6102 (rhine II) network chip to work, can only ping 127.0.0.1 [01:22] fresh install of hardy [01:22] Where i get puppy linux or DSL [01:22] I need to redirect my pc sound to input so that I can record with recordmydesktop. how do I do this with PA? [01:22] I know how to make var/www writetable, but would that cause security issue? [01:22] ak47: search Google [01:23] Nostahl: you sure its not some new positions [01:23] ak47 go to distrowatch.com [01:23] tanath, okay, i'll google around, thanks [01:23] jramsey: r u still around ? [01:23] is there a command that I can use in bash that will launch a file with the associated application (as if I had double-clicked on the file in gnome)? [01:23] anyone have any ideas, network was fine when runny edgy [01:23] its sounding like its playing ALL the languages at once [01:23] Jav13r, yeah; i can't find anything on Tbird profile issues in ubuntu forums [01:23] jdownie: open a termianl and type application name and enter [01:24] :/ [01:24] Jav13r, repost your issue; maybe someone else knows [01:24] It say i'm not a super user? [01:24] SebNaitsabes, not the application, the document. so for instance, i want to launch a.doc and get it to open in openoffice. [01:24] jdownie: that's easy enough to do with the GUI [01:25] anyone know when firefox rc1 will move to the ubuntu repos? [01:25] where' the firewall in ubuntu? [01:25] or is it simply iptables? [01:25] hydester: it works now?

[01:25] can any1 help me out why i get busybox and (initramfs) instead of ubuntu when i boot it? [01:26] thanks SebNaitsabes [01:26] afallenhope: but I think there is ufw or something in hardy [01:26] is there a codec's pack i need to get to play dvd's on my laptop? in ubuntu [01:26] well, I found part of the file in the firefox cache, but it's corrupted ... so I just have wget going now, which I know will work ;) [01:26] jdownie: Gedit is the text editor so. you want something similar what your doing [01:26] !dvd | Nostahl [01:26] Nostahl: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [01:26] Can anyone help me with a video driver issue.

I'm looking now [01:27] !firestarter [01:27] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:27] hbaolong, if you find instructions for installing it just look where it tells you to put the simlink and remove it [01:27] thanks hoonteke [01:27] i've check the .mozilla ,but i can't find the place.

[02:01] I've got a box I'd like to install Ubuntu on... but it has no CD-ROM drive, no floppy drive, and it's not PXE-capable [02:01] BinaryFu: and the -r [02:01] how can i make my dual-boot (XP/Ubuntu) PC a mono-boot (Ubuntu) PC? i want ubuntu to boot automatically without asking which OS to load? [02:01] I can take the hard drive out, and in theory install it to the drive from another machine, then put it back... [02:01] No, I was doing the -r, it just kept telling me there was no such file or directory [02:01] justdave: Does it have USB, or can you add it? [02:01] actually yeah, it does have USB [02:02] No, my bad, that was when I just tried your method. [02:02] -r does that mean recursive [02:02] -rf ?? [02:02] I'm not sure if it's capable of booting from it though, it's an pretty old box [02:02] Swatfoot: it does [02:02] justdave: If you've got access to another box, you can make a live USB to install from. It's a bit awkward though. [02:02] Gazoz: is ubuntu the first OS listed in the GRUB loader? [02:02] That one gave me zero issues, but still didn't cut the mustard.

[02:03] Gazoz: then just leave the loader open for 10 secs and ubuntu will auto boot [02:03] why are 84 of my packages obsolete? (i'm upgrading) [02:03] woli: because they are old [02:03] bazhang: no, it's got a custom-built linux distro that's about 7 years old on it, looks like it's loosely based on Slackware [02:03] uh ok [02:03] I need to rm 1 type of file within a directory tree, including ALL files in the subdirectories of said type. [02:03] so they will be replaced with new ones? [02:03] and there's no dev toolchain, so I can't compile anything [02:03] justdave, then unetbootin if it has internet [02:03] woli: basically yes. [02:03] will hardy be replaced? this distro sucks =\ [02:04] lwizardl - i know i just don't want to see this list and wait 10 secs, besides.. i don't use XP any more [02:04] hardy has been the best one for me so far [02:04] justdave: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick [02:04] but it's x86 so I could probably drop statically-linked binaries on it and have them work [02:04] Gazoz: in /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:04] hardy has been horrible... it keeps freezing up all my programs.

[02:05] some of them are shadow partitions intended for emergency restore and so forth [02:05] x86 [02:05] so should i change it to 0 [02:05] Gazoz: durka has the correct info, or google on how to remove XP from the loader and then partition the XP drive === deni is now known as deny [02:05] sorry about this begginer question but when i am manually partitioning my Ubuntu for a duall boot on Ubuntu 7.10 live cd what should I do?

[02:22] simple question, but new to gnome and ubuntu: how to i change the shortcut for deskbar-applet to the windows/super key instead of alt+f3? [02:22] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Tor.2Cprivoxy_and_Tor_GUI_.28Vidalia.29 yaman [02:22] or atleast hwat command line path will open it up [02:22] BinaryFu: I have my reasons for using pulseaudio =/ [02:23] how do you say those ***nick messages? [02:23] woli: /me [02:23] oh, like in msn [02:23] * woli just knew how to say messages [02:23] azzco: I understand...there's always some sort of evil lurking in everyone's lives. [02:23] * BinaryFu welcomes woli to IRC! [02:23] Now don't abuse the power. [02:23] bazhang: what about the short cut to switch between languages ? [02:23] easy on the /me messages [02:24] is there any proper method of adding applications to auto-startup through the terminal in Ubuntu 8.04? [02:24] How to reassign the shortcut for deskbar-applet to another key sequence, I just don't see where to do it [02:24] bazhang: Apparently the file must be corrupt. I say this because it copied all of 512KB over to my kde desktop, but it also gave me an error popup which said it couldn't copy it, at least it didn't copy it all. Just the front part of End of the Innocence by [02:24] Don Henley [02:25] fingers slipped LOL [02:25] i would definatley tell you if i knew [02:25] Firefishe: So...wait a sec.... [02:25] eric_noob: system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts === FlareFlare is now known as Flare183 [02:25] BinaryFu: k [02:25] Firefishe, sounds more like there issues with that partition than anything [02:25] Firefishe: You have a problem transferring data from one "supposedly" fine partition, to one that's obviously working just peachy... [02:25] Firefishe: And the file's corrupt? [02:25] hello all. I have pidgin freezing on me in Ubuntu 8.04 only 20s after I launch it... anyone else get this? [02:25] hey randall [02:25] wobblywu: do you mean when you boot or when you open a shell? [02:26] Firefishe, best boot into windows and defrag that partition pronto [02:26] Firefishe: It could be possible that bazhang NAILED the issue in under 20 seconds when he said your NTFS partition could have an issue. [02:26] hey roey [02:26] which action control deskbar- i don't seem to see it listed there [02:26] robdig, when I boot (or, specifically, log into my session) [02:26] robdig, the key being I want to do it through terminal, not through the Sessions dialog [02:26] im trying to get gcc to compile stuff eith the gcc (arguments) comand could someone help? [02:27] Firefishe: I'd do what bazhang says, the words spoken are wise indeed. [02:27] Good call bazhang [02:27] BinaryFu, just thought of it after reading what you wrote [02:27] wobblywu: looking [02:27] david__: what exactly are you trying to do with gcc? [02:27] robdig, thanks :) [02:27] BinaryFu: There are two music files in that folder. I successfully tranfered the other one over, and it is playing fine. The other one not only didn't transfer completely and gave me an error, but it also gave that weird output at http://pastebin.com/m481f446f when played in a music player. [02:27] make files [02:27] and just general c compiling [02:27] bazhang: Awww shucks, glad I could throw my two cents over the cliff. :) [02:27] robdig, that should be in sessions startup [02:27] Hello! anyone familiar with how to clear the terminal history [02:27] I'll defrag it, but it was just done a while ago. [02:28] BinaryFu, :) [02:28] $clear [02:28] david__: gcc -o output-filename input-file.c [02:28] ok thanks ill try [02:28] sorry...leading space in front of $ as in $ clear [02:28] Firefishe: If the defrag doesn't cut it, then yeah, the file itself could have been chopped up and served to some mean codemonger as sushi. [02:28] if i do that it just clears the terminal screen, i wnat to clear the whole history [02:28] david__: then ./output-filename to run the new program [02:29] hisingh1: oh, I dunno, sowwy [02:29] ]k [02:29] Hey, if anyone cares, ubuntu ships with a wordlist which is found in /usr/share/dict/. I thought I should share that with everyone. [02:29] could I just add shortcuts to ~/.bash_profile/ to auto-start applications? [02:29] SeaPhor: are you here? [02:29] i cant watch this dvd i just bought [02:29] ive seen that wordlist before [02:29] i installed the codec and i installed vlc and both wont load the dvd [02:29] !dvd | d4t4min3r [02:29] d4t4min3r: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [02:29] can anyone help me [02:29] minus the / [02:29] hisingh1: What are you using for chat? Because I use pidgin, and I just tell it to NEVER EVER EVER log anything...EVER. And that seems to solve the problem. [02:29] What is the best backup utility for Ubuntu 8.04 [02:29] wait nevermind, that was a stupid question -- confused a few files there [02:30] ubuntufreak: The one that works for your scenario...I think there's a few Cli and a few GUI [02:30] i dont care much about chat history, i care about Terminal history [02:30] BinaryFu, bazhang: One other weird thing is, when I boot into doze, it takes *forever*. The h/d spins and spins and spins, then, after about 5 minutes, finally stops, but occasionally speeds up again, hangs everything up for a long time, then quiets down again. [02:30] Not that I like that side of the drive much these days :) [02:30] hisingh1: echo "" > ~/.bash_history [02:30] i want it to stop logging what erve i type [02:31] BinaryFu: Can you tell me some [02:31] * Firefishe is gone to defrag [02:31] Firefishe: Sounds like that drive is going up. [02:31] ubuntufreak: What kind of backup are you looking for? Complete system? /home only? Just a few files here and there? [02:32] hello [02:32] dude. google it [02:32] what will that do? i tried it but nothing happened [02:32] is there a way I can tell apt-get to always include the "-dev" versions of packages? I'm getting quite irritated by having to track down the appropriate missing packages always... (e.g. for "imagemagick" I also turned out to need "libmagick9-dev") [02:32] BinaryFu: Complete system backup [02:32] hisingh1: exit all terminals, then go back in. [02:32] hisingh1: the history should be clear [02:32] is back [02:33] ubuntufreak: IF you are into the whole CLI thing, there's backup-manager...which is supposed to be pretty solid... [02:33] anybody knows shortcut keys for Totem player ? [02:33] thanks a lot [02:33] i think it is best to make an alias [02:33] hisingh1: that won't stop new things from being added to the history, though [02:33] BinaryFu: How do i access it [02:33] k [02:33] l [02:33] hisingh1: an alias to what? [02:33] ubuntufreak: Hop on into synaptic package manager and do a search "system backup" you'll find scads of things in there. [02:34] BinaryFu: Ok would that now [02:34] hisingh1: it's not as simple as "imagemagick-dev" when installing "imagemagick" --- I had to install "libmagick9-dev" to get the devel stuff [02:35] i installed xine and it wont play my dvd either [02:35] can anyone help me [02:35] Hi ,im just beginning to learn python I want to be able to run my programs from /home/username/Documents I add this to my $path so i should be able to run the program just by typing the name in terminal but it dosnt work [02:35] oh, sorry i miss read, i thought you wanted a shortcut [02:35] hisingh1: actually, "history -c" works better [02:35] Swatfoot: you need to add a #!/usr/bin/python line to the top of your file [02:35] ubuntufreak: Yeah, for me, a lot of times, when I want to find a certain type of program, I just use the package manager almost like google, and I can find a LOT of interesting stuff in the repositories. [02:35] sorry jeyk [02:35] no prob [02:35] thanks for trying :) [02:35] What would be the easyiest way for someone to send me a dvd image?

I went to the grub website and followed the recvering thing [02:40] hisingh1, ask in #ubuntu-bots [02:40] hisingh1: There is no best version, its all a matter of personal preference. And as far as studio and stuff go, what you're looking to accomplish. [02:40] ^^ [02:40] i want lots of eyecandy, and then the normal user stuff [02:40] hisingh1: Ubuntu is probably the one you're looking for.

[02:47] afallenhope: You just trying for packet sniffing over a LAN or are we talking WAN here? Because, there's VERY few cards that WAN works on yet.

[02:51] BinaryFu, is there any sideeffect? [02:51] Gr34t3st: Well, that's your answere then. :) As bazhang mentioned while you were away, you should either up the RAM or maybe look at fluxbuntu.

[02:55] pen: Yeah...it's just really a pain in my backside that they keep coming up with servers to "fix" the "problem" between ALSA and OSS. The problem being...the furry toothed programmers who REFUSE to give up OSS, just because it's "FREE" as in beer, and the audio fans who like to hear stuff come out of their speakers who don't care that ALSA is closed source. [02:55] Starnestommy: did you see my errors [02:56] d4t4min3r: I did [02:56] wtf [02:56] OSS open ? ALSA closed ? [02:56] Starnestommy: just making sure [02:56] d4t4min3r: and I'm trying to figure out how to fix them [02:56] wishie: Question? [02:56] Starnestommy can i pm? [02:56] Starnestommy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update [02:56] Starnestommy: is that right? [02:56] BinaryFu: yeah. how did you come to that conclusion [02:56] i should try that maybe [02:56] d4t4min3r: it is [02:56] wishie: I read up on it? [02:56] ok what are the cammands used to work ircII [02:57] hisingh1: I don't use ircII [02:57] W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org hardy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [02:57] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [02:57] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

[02:57] mixter: I'm a little busy right now [02:57] i understand [02:57] what are the commands you use in ircII [02:57] BinaryFu: what is "open" about OSS (apart from its "free" branch) ? How is ALSA closed source, when i submitted patches to it just a few hours ago [02:57] wishie: And found that ALSA uses some closed modules in it's makeup and OSS is OPEN SOURCE SOUND? [02:57] BinaryFu, btw, if you switch back to alsa [02:57] it's irssi [02:57] BinaryFu, how do you deal with OSS apps? [02:58] personally I like bitchx [02:58] BinaryFu, with pulseaudio I can say padsp [02:58] BinaryFu: ALSA itself is open, but some drivers are closed [02:58] pen: alsa_oss [02:58] Is Emerald compat. w/ ubuntu 8.x ? [02:58] BinaryFu, works? [02:58] Is Emerald compat. w/ ubuntu 8.x ? [02:58] pen: It works very well. [02:58] I need help.I am using my sprint u727 wireless card as we speak.BU.and my fire fox is saying not online.All my other services works.since i am talking to you [02:58] BinaryFu, cool [02:58] ALSA has 2 main methods of OSS compatibility [02:58] BinaryFu, which guide do you follow to remove pulseaudio? [02:58] BinaryFu, I think maybe I should give it a try [02:59] hello everyone [02:59] pen: I personally don't remove it, I just cut it off at the knees by telling the sound system to only use ALSA. [02:59] Hi particle_man [02:59] any ideas Starnestommy [02:59] anyone konw if emerald is compat with ubuntu 8.x, yes/no/maybe? [02:59] !repeat | ex777 [02:59] ex777: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [02:59] group: Fire fox is saying it is off line but i am online tru my sprint u727 wireless card.What should i do. [02:59] just loaded up Hardy, installed all updates and everything, and ctrl-f doesn't work in Firefox [02:59] BinaryFu, you mean in sound settings you make everything alsa? [02:59] d4t4min3r: did you run this: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [02:59] pen: Saves me time and headache, especially when I have a terabyte of storage, it doesn't take up much room. :) [02:59] pen: Yep. [02:59] jtaylor13: Did Firefox ever work yet for you? [02:59] BinaryFu, cool [02:59] Cannot find a decent guide for dual monitors.....any clues where to start...especially to check if my card supports it? [03:00] how do i figure out what drive i need for my ati graphics card? [03:00] it brings up the search bar, but it can't find anything, nor does it autosearch for text. I also dled firefox 3rc1 and installed in a separate directory, with no luck [03:00] works fine in Nautilus though [03:00] why is everyone so quick to give crap to pulseaudio ? [03:00] it says i cant us ea graphics card because of proprietary drivers [03:00] anyway ideas? [03:00] any ideas rather [03:00] wishie: Here's a thought, because it doesn't always work yet. [03:00] wishie: And ALSA does. [03:00] wishie, i think you need sudo rm /rf /bin [03:00] perhaps if it was setup to work for most apps out of the box, and its helper applications were installed by default, itd work [03:00] BinaryFu, btw, what packages should I install for alsa oss [03:00] Starnestommy: yea just did it agin and same error when i do the gpg key [03:00] BinaryFu: my god man. PulseAudio has worked for AGES. when setup. [03:00] *-rf [03:00] no public key.... [03:00] can i use Remote Desktop Viewer to connect to a windows xp box? [03:00] hi [03:00] wishie: don't do the command that Speedy recommended, it'll screw up things really bad [03:01] anyone know, how to install GTK+-2.10 on ubuntu hardy [03:01] i know :) [03:01] wishie: I don't want to "setup" I want it to WORK when I install the OS. [03:01] Housefly is that dual monitors with laptop? [03:01] group: i have no problem with firefox when using wifi it is fine.tonight i just got my cell phone wireless card working. [03:01] how do i figure out what drive i need for my ati graphics card? [03:01] d4t4min3r: I'm not sure how to fix it [03:01] BinaryFu: then tell the packagers/releasers to setup it up properly [03:01] clayd: If you Windows XP box has a VNC server, yes. :) [03:01] Starnestommy: any other way to watch the dvd.... [03:01] johnny_, google and the model of your card [03:01] Byron1: yeah with a laptop, Inspiron 8500 [03:01] Starnestommy: i installed vlc and it wont play it.. any other way to i guess install libdvdcss [03:01] * particle_man awaits an answer [03:01] how do i find out the model Speedy [03:02] johnny_, on the box:? [03:02] dont have one [03:02] wishie: Or, I could beg them to stop with the stupid server nonsense, and leave that as an option for those who really want to have a NETWORK JUKEBOX, and leave my audio clean and sweet sounding. [03:02] ok heres a better question where do i download envyng-gtk [03:02] its in my laptop [03:02] wishie: But neither of those options is going to work...I'm not a programmer, they won't listen to me. [03:02] d4t4min3r: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [03:02] johnny_, did the laptop not come in a box? [03:02] no [03:02] lol [03:02] BinaryFu: its not just that, actually. PulseAudio beings alot of new features to the table, supports automatic 'upmixing', on-the-fly card switching etc [03:03] BinaryFu: per stream volume controls, reliable network sound, and many other things. [03:03] does anyone know how i find out what driver i need to download for an ati card [03:03] Envy [03:03] BinaryFu: its a FAR CRY from the 'servers' like esd and arts. [03:03] johnny what kind of card [03:03] johnny_, which card? [03:03] ati mixter [03:03] hello [03:03] wishie: And when they all work fine, and the developers set it up to work "out of the box" I'll give it a go. Until then, ALSA works just peachy for me, because I don't need a network server for my sound. [03:03] how do i find out what model it is? [03:03] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installation_of_both_ATi_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers johny [03:03] Byron1: is it supposed to be plug and play in Hardy or not yet? [03:03] i know thats the link [03:03] but i dont know what to do with it [03:03] the card is installed [03:04] great i am now using irc on terminal' [03:04] Johnny_, have you tried to use Envy? [03:04] i need to know what driver to install to get compiz running [03:04] envy sucks [03:04] envy? [03:04] thanks to all [03:04] .. don't say Envy sucks [03:04] it does [03:04] there are plenty of times where it sucks [03:04] BinaryFu: you have even read how to use PulseAudio ? Do you know of its features ? [03:04] exit [03:04] does anyone know if canonical offers a landscape-only support option? we are a university with limited funds and would like access to management tools but we are willing to forego support incidents to reduce costs [03:04] i cant even get envy up [03:04] but there are plenty of times where it works fine too [03:04] and vice versa [03:04] this is hopeless [03:05] sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk [03:05] No I mean, what does Envy do wrong? I'm not saying this to be defensive, I'm saying it because I'm literally downloading it right now [03:05] i do that and it says its not installed [03:05] (new install) and if there is a better alternative I would rather know about it [03:05] Laney, what card you got? [03:05] no package found mixter [03:05] Lanlost: the drivers in it aren't tested to work with ubuntu [03:05] Lanlost, what card? [03:05] hey how do i exit irssi [03:05] same here [03:05] My card is an ATI x1050 [03:05] is there a driver that I can install that allows me to use "screencast" as a webcam? [03:05] johnny and i have the same question [03:05] wishie: Ummm...no. Because...wait for it...ALSA works just fine. No popping noises where I have to adjust 200 levels to get it JUST RIGHT, no suddenly my youtube videos have sound by my rythymbox stopped playing...no...sounds play fine as I'm logging in, but stop completely after the drums...none of that. [03:06] I bought it because I ruined my Geforce FX by blowing compressed air into and blowing the fan backwards breaking the ball bearings (it was on) [03:06] the x series have issues with driver support, nonetheless, ubuntu has the driver in its repo [03:06] use the package mamager [03:06] wishie: I don't have to research pulseaudio to know that when I've used it, it sucks. And so I go to what really works well...alsa. [03:06] I bought an ATI x1050 instead of an equivilent nVidia thinking ATI had better support. [03:06] ati does have better support [03:06] wishie: When it's finally stable and really working smooth out of the box, I'll give it a whirl. [03:06] my 2400HD worked out of the box [03:06] speedy can you help me [03:06] you make things work [03:06] Right.. but the ati x1050 is really an 1550 I think [03:06] how do i exit irssi [03:06] man i have always had better luck with nvidia than ATI [03:06] i give up [03:07] It's a case of giving it a newer model number even though it's a realllllly old card [03:07] Have a good night all. [03:07] Housefly take a look here http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/multiple-monitors [03:07] hisingh1: /quit and then exit [03:07] what part of this didnt i get sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk? [03:07] Regardless, my ATI works fine right now.. I mean I've got Compiz, I've got Direct Rendering, everything is working [03:07] Lanlost, dudnt ubuntu auto find you a driver? [03:07] thanks [03:07] 8dudnt [03:07] 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS300M AGP [Radeon Mobility 9100IGP] [03:07] wishie: This is the first step to wisdom - don't try to convert someone to your way of thinking when their path is just fine as it is, only different. It's the reason we have all this mess for sound - too many people want to convert everyone else to their way of thinking. [03:07] what driver would i need to get compiz working ? [03:07] Night all [03:07] The problem is that when I ran glxgears, it would render fine.. but when I move the window.. it keeps an 'imprint' of the old window [03:07] BinaryFu: excuse me ? [03:07] the driver for your grfx card -_- [03:08] BinaryFu: you were talking about OSS being open ffs, and ALSA being closed ? [03:08] exactly speedy, why does tit not worjk [03:08] Thanks for earlier help. FYI, I solved the sound problem with http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Upgrade [03:08] i mean, what the. [03:08] mixter, because of the configuration probably [03:08] As in, I can move the glxgears window like 10 times and have 11 'windows' of glxgears open.. only one active. As soon as I move another window over the old ones they erase [03:08] maybe its blacklisted? [03:08] can i fix it [03:08] yes you can [03:08] wishie: Go read things. Like, what OSS stands for. And what drivers are in ALSA. [03:08] it says my card uses proprietary driversd [03:08] wishie: Until then, don't try to argue with someone who has already done so. [03:08] try SHIP_CHECK=yes compiz [03:08] nite [03:08] so I glxgears -info and it says [03:08] BinaryFu: read the debuggingsound page on ubuntu forums ? heard of alsa-info.sh ? [03:09] GL_RENDERER = Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 8x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL [03:09] yeah yhea [03:09] try SHIP_CHECK=yes compiz [03:09] so I'm obviously not using my ATI drivers [03:09] Speedy: SKIP_CHECKS [03:09] and see what happens [03:09] I must be using a software mesa implementation (I'm assuming thats what mesa is) [03:09] oh wait [03:09] you are using mesa [03:09] you need to be using the ati drivers [03:09] Why cant I get this second monitor to work, I tried it with my brothers laptop Windows XP and it just came on... so I know it worksNw just to get it to work with ubuntu [03:09] speedy nvidia doesnt have my driver son there site? [03:09] I don't know how to check which driver I'm actually using because I usually get it from xorg.conf [03:09] recently i've been having problems with my sound drivers; like if firefox is open,amarok wont work. now when i try to run amarok it says it coudlnt initialize the xine engine [03:09] i have an nvidia go 7150 [03:09] any ideas? [03:09] oh nvidia, sorry dude and dont talk abotu nvidua [03:09] but my xorg.conf is pretty... after-install-standard [03:10] as in default settings in each section [03:10] dont talka bout it? [03:10] im so confused [03:10] hey [03:10] hey hi [03:10] nope, there are some things i avoid in life, like ruby, apple macs and nvidia etc etc [03:10] I love linux, I used slack forever.. but in multi-terminal mode. When I used xwindows, I just used vesa and fluxbox [03:10] Starnestommy: ok libdvdcss2 and 3 are installed [03:10] and it still not reading [03:10] i understand [03:10] anyone here have experience with setting up Linux POS (Point of Sale) machines ? [03:10] so somehow I have no idea how to definitively check which display driver I'm using for X [03:11] Housefly linux uses xorg.conf for video. I believe you need to have two xorg files. It doesn;t just work [03:11] can anyone help me download envyng? [03:11] Lanlost: your problem is currently not fixable [03:11] is there a link? [03:11] mixter, yes. [03:11] crdlb, whys that? [03:11] lwizardl: what distro is that... for a linux POS? [03:11] isn't envy bad? [03:11] Lanlost: do not try to use the ATI driver to fix it, it will not help [03:11] !envy [03:11] 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. [03:11] Where are you getting this information? [03:11] oh kool, it's good [03:11] Housefly Did you take a look at the link? [03:11] can anyone help me with a dvd prolem [03:12] Lanlost: the problem is that no driver other than nvidia's supports redirected direct rendering. DRI2 will fix that eventually, but not yet [03:12] i cant get a dvd to play [03:12] cool, irssi and ircII both work great' === mussolini is now known as timtaylor [03:12] does envyng build debs? it's unclear from the description [03:12] d4t4min3r, I'm trying to find information on ubuntu for the os but information online seems to be very small chunks [03:12] hey, Devede is taking hours to convert my AVI movie into an iso image... is that normal? or is there any other way to do it faster? [03:12] crdlb, can I pm you real quick? I'll keep it short, theres just so much text gong in this chat [03:12] why do the adobe non-free flash drivers fail constantly? [03:12] Siph0n, depends on the sizr [03:12] lwizardl: what do you mean information for the OS? [03:12] hmmm I have everything working I need to work or want in i686, thinking of trying 64bit, I have 8gig lying on my desk begging for use, should I? lol [03:12] *size === timtaylor is now known as timthetoolman [03:12] Byron1: sorry I missed that, checking the link now thanks [03:12] and compression rate and alogrythm [03:13] ie.. 1 hour after installing them.. flash stops working entirely? [03:13] johnny_: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? === crd1b is now known as crdlb [03:13] Speedy, its not that long, maybe 2 hours, and the avi is only 700meg [03:13] bruenig, no stuff like if thisbrand is compatible with ubuntu etc [03:13] rendering yes crdlb [03:13] or just not load on any random website for no reason? [03:13] crdlb, what do I need direct rendering for? I mean, what's the problem you are talking about? The fact that when I move the window it doesn't redraw correctly? [03:13] I've used an ATI driver before for this card.. and had it be 3d acceled.. [03:13] johnny_: join #compiz-fusion for a moment please [03:13] !hcl | lwizardl [03:13] lwizardl: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [03:13] anyone know how to hide dot files when viewing the file system with firefox, ie when you are looking for a place to save a file, print... ? [03:14] can i use pidgen on terminal [03:14] is there a 64bit channel? [03:14] hisingh1, no [03:14] lwizardl: hardware support is a linux thing, not an ubuntu thing [03:14] crdlb, you don't need to give me an answer, but it would be nice if you could give me a link to this information or forum or anything so I can research it for myself. [03:14] Lanlost: ok let me explain differently. You have 3d acceleration (ie OpenGL), but when using compiz, the opengl stuff is drawn directly to the screen [03:14] jgraham__, press ctrl+h in the file picker [03:14] i have thisproblem with java http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5004933 [03:14] how can i get an instent messaging systm /besides irc on terminal [03:15] croddy, rad! thanks [03:15] hisingh1, I use Pidgin and XChat [03:15] Lanlost: to make moving opengl windows like glxgears work correctly, the opengl must be redirected [03:15] hisingh1, naim does at least AIM but it's no pidgin [03:15] Sonja, [03:15] Lanlost: neither of the ati drivers supports that yet [03:15] Sonja, its an error in the application [03:15] and thats just direct rendering right? [03:15] looks like a programmer error, IndexOutOfBounds [03:15] because I'm not using an ATI driver right now.. I'm using Mesa [03:16] Lanlost: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DirectRenderingToRedirectedWindows [03:16] I mean I have direct rendering enabled.. according to glxinfo [03:16] Lanlost: you are using the open source driver, which uses Mesa for its OpenGL implementation and DRI support [03:16] is there any way to get hide/sticky buttons on metacity and/or the GTK compiz decorator? [03:17] (fearing i'll have to draw an emerald pixmap theme from scratch) [03:17] how do I change gdm screen size? [03:17] Anybody know what I could use to create an image of my ubuntu installation so that I can quickly deploy it across multiple pc's? [03:17] err, not hide, above/below [03:17] where i can enable medibutu? [03:17] Byron1: See what i mean is my xorg looks nothing like the one in any of the guides [03:17] Section "Device" [03:17] Identifier "Configured Video Device" [03:17] EndSection [03:17] Housefly7k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:17] :/ [03:17] sonja you need the latest version of iriverter, if thats what you have then file a bug report, the problem is the code tries to access the -1th element of an array which is outof bounds [03:17] Sorry, didnt mean to flood, but thats basically what i have in my xorg, they have much more [03:18] can someone help me with a dvd problem [03:18] its a bug int he software [03:18] Byron1: how do I know what driver to use? [03:18] i did a complete reinstall of iriverter with synaptic [03:18] and still buggy [03:18] where i can enable medibuntu? [03:18] how do you tile the windows again [03:18] What's a good bt client? [03:18] ubuntu has tonight for some reason been failing me. randomly it goes to a black screen then directly to the login prompt, how can i find out what the problem is? [03:18] there ALT +TAB. WINKEY TAB what was the one to tile all the windows [03:19] afallenhope: shift+alt+up by default [03:19] kwan: transmission is simple, not alot of options for seeding and such but it does the job for me [03:19] thanks ! [03:19] kwan: my friend uses utorrent and azureus [03:19] Housefly7k: same here =) [03:19] anyone, i need help with the scanModem thing [03:19] oooohhh! what's the CTRL + ALT + DELETE equivelancy? [03:19] crdlb, so.. .. I guess I'm just confused here. I am using an open source _ATI_ driver which uses Mesa? Is this what ATI cards are supposed to use? [03:19] Does anyone know why Ubuntu wouldn't be connecting to a network while running in VMware Workstation? [03:20] the glxgears thing doesn't really bother me.. what am I going to lose out on from not having this direct rendering redirecting thing [03:20] housefly7k i just update to hardy and i dont know where i can enable medibutu [03:20] Housefly7k: u can't run utorrent in ubuntu without wine [03:20] it says to put it in home folder with modem??? im a newb [03:20] Should I install firefox RC1 over B5? [03:20] Housefly7k, utorrent is available on linux? cool [03:20] kwan: its not :P [03:20] shouldn't I still use a different ATI driver? As far as I know, I'm not using one.. the restricted driver manager says I can use it. [03:20] bittin: i think they both use wine [03:20] Lanlost: what you lose is that opengl doesn't work well in compiz. If you switch to the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx), you'd have the same problem [03:20] not Azareus [03:20] but theres a good thing if u like utorrent [03:20] thats like it [03:20] kwan: yeah sorry I meant you, it uses wine [03:20] just need to remember the name :P [03:20] bittin: Housefly7k here is giving me that idea lol [03:21] kwan: try Deluge [03:21] bittin, deluge? [03:21] Deluge* [03:21] croddy: yepp [03:21] http://deluge-torrent.org/ =) [03:21] <3 deluge [03:21] bittin: qBitTorrent [03:21] bobboy: never used that [03:21] iam uses Transmission also :D [03:22] but iam on osx atm :) [03:22] is #ubuntu the channel with the most people in i tor someting [03:22] on freenode [03:22] i have never seen more people [03:22] bittin: so you got any suggestions? I used azureus like a year ago on edgy, wasn't really feeling it.

[03:24] linux modem support sucks, its too complicated.... [03:24] Crdlb, Ah.. that must explain it [03:24] Byron1, ok well my dilemma is that I am tryng to add a 0 zero before a number 86574 in spreadsheet but it wont let me.? [03:24] how do i exit naim [03:24] i can play the computer with one hand [03:24] crdlb, in my last install I installed the ati driver.. but kept thinking it wasn't working because.. it was slower than my base install of ubuntu [03:24] can anyone tell me why ubuntu keeps asking me for a wireless pass phrase when the network is unsecured? [03:25] I rebooted and had a white cube.. and I fixed that.. and on next restart.. everything worked.. but I Was getting like half the frame rate [03:25] squarebracket: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-get-list-installed-software-reinstallation-restore.html [03:25] Hey guys, when is firefox 3rc1 going to be released in the repos? [03:25] should i install firefox release candidate 1 over ubuntus default firefox beta 5 [03:25] how do I know the right screen depth setting for my screen? [03:25] who need sfirefox [03:25] the hell with firefox [03:25] get maxthon [03:25] So... what if I want to play games though? Would I be better off switching drivers and then switching back .. or will mesa work fine? [03:25] bobboy, i would it is musch better [03:25] firefox ftw =) [03:25] idk minusidea, no one knows what to do with modems either [03:25] mixter, ff == w1n [03:25] bittin: utorrent. Its good you asked. I have a 9 months experience with linux (ubuntu) stopped using it 5 months ago (for strange reasons lol) and now i'm back :> Its literally spent the last 2 days installing ubuntu on raid and getting things to work and stuff [03:25] wth is maxthon? [03:25] mathon [03:25] use it [03:26] maxthon* [03:26] I am having trouble with Ubuntu connecting to the internet through VMware Workstation. Does anyone have an idea why it wouldn't be bridging properly? [03:26] kwan: then use Deluge [03:26] wers - there is no "right screen depth setting". It's all personal preference. [03:26] it wasn't doing that earlier - now it just started. it's really strange. [03:26] kwan: http://deluge-torrent.org/ [03:26] Housefly7k: thanks!!! [03:26] Lanlost: fglrx will probably be faster for gaming, but you'll probably want to turn compiz off when you run a game [03:26] best Utorrent Copy [03:26] there is :P [03:26] WhoNeedszzz: why is it so much better? can anything screw up? [03:26] Can anyone tell me how to add zeros in OpenOffice spreadsheet??? [03:26] squarebracket: your welcome...thank google [03:26] kwan: me myself is also a changer =D [03:26] uses Mac, Windows, Linux [03:26] BSD [03:27] and what i feel like :D [03:27] bobboy, not that i know of. my friend has it and said it is much faster and more stable [03:27] crdlb, so every ATI has this problem? I guess I'm just confused on why ATI has better 'support' if something like compiz doesn't work well. [03:27] zero what do you mean add zeros [03:27] I still want to know how I'm supposed to see what driver is loaded [03:27] anyone know why my wireless card suddenly stopped working? The model is Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) [03:27] <_s_a_t_a_n_> Hello [03:27] i have a windows partition that does not mount on startup i have to click on it to mount it can anybody tell me a easy way to get it to mount on start up [03:27] for instance, if I wanted to test this by installing fglrx.. how would I switch back [03:27] Hi _s_a_t_a_n_ [03:27] so does anyone know when ff3rc1 will be released in synaptic? [03:27] How do I use grep to get something like " `tusf_members_converge`" through command line? [03:27] Hello... I've been trying to sync a Treo 650 with Ubuntu and cannot get it to work. [03:27] I don't know what to put back into xorg.conf becuase I don't know the drivers name [03:27] WhoNeedszzz: kk [03:27] Every time I do it, it thinks I'm using `tusf_members_converge` as command output [03:27] mixter: sell me maxthon [03:27] Lanlost: who told you that? nvidia has tons of issues that will hold them back, but at the moment, they have the most mature driver [03:27] Byron1, well if I was adding a number to a cell, like 0089588, it only excepts 89588 and does not show the two zeros before the number [03:28] <_s_a_t_a_n_> i've made an ubuntu livecd, plz help me debug it, I get a kernel panic saying that no valid root= boot option was passed into kernel [03:28] Lanlost: the name of the current driver is either 'ati' or 'radeon' (ati is a wrapper for multiple drivers) [03:28] Lanlost: you can see that in /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:28] bobboy, don't listen to him, ff is better than any browser, _especially_ with security [03:28] _s_a_t_a_n_, make a new one [03:28] sell? [03:28] i dont sell [03:29] <_s_a_t_a_n_> veery funny zero88 [03:29] maxthon is an ie replacmeent [03:29] Lanlost - ATI does not have better support. This is well known. Ignore anyone who says otherwise. [03:29] bittin: buddy, are you experienced linux user yourself? I got this thing that's botherin me at bootup. It doesn't affect the functionality of my system but when it starts up, a pattern of "[[C^" fills out the screen as the OS loads up [03:29] mixter, so is ff [03:29] when used in conjunction with ff they are unstoppable [03:29] whatever ff dont do, mathon do [03:29] bs [03:29] whatever maxthon dont do ff do [03:29] WhoNeedszzz: kk... mixter: sell as in promote lol [03:29] name something that ff doesn't do [03:29] uninstall your IE replace it with maxthon [03:29] kwan: never heard about that problem before [03:29] Stay on topic, WhoNeedszzz, mixter, bobboy. [03:29] use firefox [03:29] <_s_a_t_a_n_> Can anybody help me make the right proper livecd? [03:29] mixter: im on ubuntu man i hate IE [03:29] _s_a_t_a_n_, when you mean made a livecd do you mean just burining the iso to a cd? [03:29] whenever i open windows http://pixloads.com/public/pview/55008/Screenshot.png that happens [03:29] exactly [03:29] tritium: how are we not on topic? [03:30] zero88: format the cell and set the number of leading zeros [03:30] i cant even get my gfx card to work with hardy [03:30] the main title bar is not shown [03:30] so taker it easy boys [03:30] WhoNeedszzz: the topic is not browswer wars, it is ubuntu support [03:30] anyone here run virtualbox ose? [03:30] Sorry guys, i asked a question then had to take off. Any idea why the i386 server would say that i have the wrong cpu? [03:30] mandrig - Your window decorator is disabled [03:30] crdlb, I have, it still doesnt work [03:30] when i install it with the package manager it wont install the kernel module vboxdrv [03:30] tritium: yes but it isn't really a browser war as i am informing bobboy of the security of ff [03:30] mandrig - hit alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" [03:30] <_s_a_t_a_n_> no zero88 I made my own initrd file, and used an ordinary ubuntu kernel [03:31] hola amigos ! [03:31] mixter was the one who came in saying screw ff [03:31] zero88: you'll have to be more specific than that [03:31] hay alguien ! [03:31] At present i'm running Fedora 9 for i386 with no problems. [03:31] _s_a_t_a_n_, kk forget what i said then ;) [03:31] <`Kermudge> Simple question I hope. Is there a plugin/script for Xchat that will allow for auto ops? Actually would like something that does way more than that. But Auto ops helps. [03:31] Ryoushi: Thanks, that fixed it [03:31] mandrig - You're welcome ^.^ [03:32] hola [03:32] crdlb, what do you mean. with my answer or question. becuase i formatted the cells, added one leading zero, and tried adding it, but it doesnt stay with the number it disappears once i go to a new cell [03:32] Ryoushi: Its a bad setting somewhere in my compizconfig, as metacity --replace just reset my graphics settings [03:32] but back to my original question. Does anyone know when ff3rc1 will be released in synaptic? [03:32] zero88: add more leading zeros [03:32] zero88: one leading zero won't do anything [03:33] WhoNeedszzz: no, that is not known yet [03:33] Ryoushi: But I believe i just found the underlying problem anyway :) [03:33] !ff3rc | WhoNeedszzz [03:33] WhoNeedszzz: The Firefox 3 RC package is not currently available as most of the Ubuntu-mozilla team are at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Thanks for your patience. [03:33] Housefly7k, crdlb how many? [03:33] mandrig - okie dokie. [03:33] zero88: it's not added in front of the number, but is how many digits there will be [03:33] crdlb, ahh ok it works. nm :). thank you [03:33] zero88: so if you set it to 4, 3 becomes 0003, and 124 becomes 0124 [03:33] what the hell is the Ubuntu Developer Summit??? [03:34] crdlb, I didnt know thats how it worked [03:34] can you rip music from an iPod with rhythmbox? [03:34] obviously a summit, for developers, of ubuntu relates software [03:34] specifically .m4p? [03:34] !language | WhoNeedszzz [03:34] WhoNeedszzz: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [03:34] Housefly7k: what did you search for to come up with that? [03:34] tritium: oh give me a break man [03:34] sacamano: yeah look at the tools>plugins [03:34] It looks to me either something is wrong with firefox 3 beta or firefox beta 3 is conflicting with flash player in Hardy. When i watch youtube videos (flash videos) the video is lagging like hell [03:34] zero88: 'leading zeroes' is a misleading name for it :) [03:34] is there a way to convert flv files into avi in linux? [03:34] tritium: if you think "hell" is improper language you are living in one messed up world [03:34] squarebracket: " list installed aptget applications ubuntu" [03:35] bittin, know anything bout that one? [03:35] Kwan.. the non-free flash drivers suck.. i'm having issues in hardy too [03:35] anyone else wanna flame me? [03:35] but Gnash is nothing but a joke anyway [03:35] kwan: nah [03:35] no one is flaming you mixter lol [03:35] zero88: if you want it to show exactly how many you enter you can format cell and set to text [03:35] Every once in a while, I'm unable to type in a window until I move to another window or minimize it, or something. It's really annoying, because I go to type and nothing happens. Anyone know what might be the problem? [03:35] uhm [03:35] okay [03:35] mixter [03:35] you're an idiot [03:35] Rixon-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:35] lol [03:35] sure mixter | holds a candle under mixter [03:36] lol [03:36] mixter: don't do that [03:36] maxthon all the way [03:36] Ever since I installed the new version of Ubuntu, everything has been magnificantly slow, especially rendering of webpages in firefox, is there a way I can get rid of the beta 3.5 and go back to the latest stable version? [03:36] i was merely asking which browser was better and why.. its cool though dont worry about it ill stick with firefox [03:36] letubenaiah, and that will show the amount of zeros? [03:36] <_s_a_t_a_n_> Can anybody plz give me the answer to a single question: I can install linux on a system, but not a single linux live cd doesn't work on my hardware. Why? [03:36] Have you tried auto proxy settings, dma? [03:36] whoneedszzz is ff3 more stable in ubuntu? i get service unavailable ALL THE TIME AND ITS ANNOYING!!! [03:36] I'm trying to extract an archive, I keep getting errors telling me I need to start at a previous volume, but I tried the .r00 file and it gives the same error [03:36] seemed unneccessary to ban him [03:37] zero88: that will show exactly what you put in so if you put in 03 that is what will show but if you put 003 that will [03:37] bogey-: nobody has been banned [03:37] DemonicButthead, even the flash player from adobe is like that [03:37] how do i get compiz 3d cube to pull back ? [03:37] tritium: uhhh that was a bit harsh, dont you think? [03:37] hey crdlb .. I cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver [03:37] +q != +b [03:37] excrucio: Sorry, I'm not too familiar with those, how would that help? [03:37] (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23 [03:37] Hello, anyone up too tackling a wireless Hardy problem? [03:37] I suppose that means I'm using aiglx already.. [03:37] DMA315 - you can uninstall the firefox beta and load version 2 from synaptic [03:37] I just was trying to see if I was using vesa or some other driver.. so that I could switch back [03:37] I guess my last question is this then: [03:37] How is my driver set to anything without it being in xorg.conf? [03:37] _s_a_t_a_n_ try this At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [03:37] Lanlost: if you want to find your driver, you'll have to look in it :) [03:38] Lanlost: autodetection [03:38] Rixon-: don't do that again, please [03:38] ok [03:38] I just assumed that the autodetection would update xorg.conf [03:38] what? [03:38] Sometimes I install software isn't a package (like you get from apt). How do I make it so that this software gets placed correctly in usr/bin and usr/lib....you know so that it's like it was a package [03:38] That's something that should be done [03:38] even if it doens't update xorg.conf [03:38] Lanlost: the xorg.conf is on its way out [03:38] you would think there would be a file created (for newbs or just for ease of use) that would be like autoconf.org [03:38] the autodetection happens at runtime [03:38] Okay, I'm using gnome with some QT apps, and I'd like to, if possible, use my GTK+ theme with the QT programs. If not possible, can someone point me to some tutorials or example qt themes that use pixmaps? [03:39] Help me get an IP anyone.... please ;_.? [03:39] what is the super button? [03:39] Logrusmage ifconfig [03:39] Right.. I'm just saying though.. It would be nice if it created an autoconf.org file after it does the autodetect so you dont have to cat a whole bunch of stuff [03:39] johnny_: the win key [03:39] the super button is the "windows key" [03:39] msttcorefonts x-ttcidfont this thing is installed and causing all kinds of issues [03:39] WhoNeedszzz is ff3 more stable in ubuntu? i get service unavailable ALL THE TIME AND ITS ANNOYING!!! [03:39] msttcorefonts [03:39] can you change the desktop for each destkop/ [03:39] can someone helpe me it wont let me unistall it [03:39] Genius314: there is a horrendously broken gtk engine to do the opposite (gtk-qt) [03:39] desktop? [03:39] johnny_ the windows key [03:39] if I change xorg.conf, it overwrites the auto configuration then.. [03:39] bobboy please lose the caps [03:39] synaptic says it cant [03:39] what is super button 5 then [03:39] add/remove says it cant [03:39] Genius314: and qt4 will have support for exactly what you want [03:40] but that won't help with qt3 apps [03:40] heyo [03:40] problem [03:40] win key + 5 doesnt do anything [03:40] johnny_ would that be windows key + #5 [03:40] i have an nvidia 9800GTX and I can't seem to get a driver for ubuntu 8.04 [03:40] bobboy, i dont think FF3 is going to solve your unavailable problem [03:40] bobboy, you having problems watching flash (or youtube) videos with flash player in ff3 too? [03:40] crdlb: Okay. It's not much of a problem. It's a bit annoying having two different themes though.. :-/ [03:40] what does it mean from the dvd player.. cant read from source [03:41] how can i edit a .php file in shell ? [03:41] didnt do anyting Jack_Sparrow [03:41] orudie, vim is a console editor [03:41] man, i love ubuntu. i wish my tablet worked in it :( [03:41] Genius314: there are a couple of lookalike themes though. For example, qt has a Cleanlooks theme which mimicks gtk's Clearlooks theme [03:41] orudie I use vim [03:41] Jaredu, i dont think nvidia drivers work in 8.04 yet [03:41] johnny_ are you trying to un-zoom? [03:41] ughhh [03:41] squarebracket what tablet [03:41] pr0le: hey! [03:41] yes Jack_Sparrow [03:41] only reason i installed linux again is because people told me it'd work [03:41] <`Kermudge> Quess I will try this question again. :) Simple question I hope. Is there a plugin/script for Xchat that will allow for auto ops? Actually would like something that does way more than that. But Auto ops helps. [03:42] johnny_ try win and roll the wheel [03:42] i cant even find a 64 bit 9800gtx driver on their site [03:42] pr0le: can you see me now! [03:42] but some people have said they have got it to work [03:42] orudie, vi file [03:42] gahhhhh [03:42] Byron1: ISDV4 USB -- not supported by linuxwacom [03:42] pr0le: over here! [03:42] tritium: IMHO the ban on WhoNeedszzz was unnecesary [03:42] i can flip it left and right jack [03:42] nothing else [03:42] I gotcha. [03:42] yabbo.. using the envy-gtk.. i can run an 8800 gt in an x64 image of 8.04 [03:42] bbyever: stay on topic, please [03:42] Jaredu, install ubuntu 7.10 [03:42] yabbo: mine seemed alright but mine's a 5700 fx tho (super ol school) [03:42] johnny_ /join #Compiz [03:42] bbyever: and sorry you don't feel channel policies are worth following [03:43] crdlb: Yeah, but I made the theme myself, mainly using the pixmaps engine, so there won't be a KDE look-a-like... Thanks, though. [03:43] Help me get an IP anyone? WICD continues to search for an IP when I try to connect to a network. [03:43] i wasnt able to find a nvidia driver for my 8.04 system so i went back to 7.10 with no issues [03:43] hmm [03:43] ettercap [03:43] does 7.10 have any different compiz fusion? [03:43] bbyever He thought it was and it is NOT up for debate in here [03:43] im dualbooting as well... so i dont want to format my entire drive x..x [03:43] Where can I get the desktop cube? [03:43] `Kermudge: #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of thing. [03:43] speaking of which, what advantage is there to running a 64 bit copy of ubuntu? do any programs even make use of the capabilities? [03:43] Jaredu, ubuntu 8.04 is the newest which means it hasnt been fixed 100% like 7.10 you should download and try 7.10 :) [03:43] im trying to get a driver from the nvidia site but i cant find it :( 8.04 or not [03:44] <`Kermudge> Thanks tonyy. [03:44] is there drivers for "ASUS EN8500GT SILENT/HTD/256M GF8500GT 256MB PCI Express w/HDTV & DVI" to work in ubuntu ? [03:44] longrus can you go to #ubuntu-offtopic and I will try to help [03:44] Sometimes I install software isn't a package (like you get from apt). How do I make it so that this software gets placed correctly in usr/bin and usr/lib....you know so that it's like it was a package. i just dont like putting all my applications in my home directory [03:44] Jaredu, compiz works in 7.10 much better but its the newest version of compiz still [03:44] any clue where i'd get a driver for 7.10 then? i have 2 burnt 7.10 cd's already [03:44] Jaredu: gutsy has 0.6.0 and hardy has 0.7.4 [03:44] hmm.. [03:45] so is there like a standard nvidia driver for linux in that respect cause im trying to get it off the site.. but there are none for 9800gtx :( [03:45] Jaredu, 7.10 has a restricted drivers database which you can use to get the driver automatically [03:45] ahh [03:45] i see [03:45] would that be hard to setup? :D [03:45] no its a click i want to install this and it does it [03:45] Jack_Sparrow: yeah, and he resumed his original question afterwards [03:45] ahh i see [03:45] well [03:45] i suppose ill be back in like 30 mins then lol [03:45] time to format [03:45] brb.

[03:45] Jaredu: please use teh ubuntu-packaged driver [03:45] hehe [03:46] teimu it depends on what you are installing and how [03:46] Jaredu: I don't think the driver is new enough in 7.10 [03:46] anyone tell me when i try to "sudo apt-get install n" I get a "Could not open lock file n - open (13 permission denied_ E: Unable to lock the administration directory (n), are you root?"

[04:10] im doing a update.. is that why? [04:10] Jack_Sparrow, yabbo I've been away from ubuntu the past 5-6 months (for strange reasons). Before i left the scene it was kiba-dock and beryl that takes over the desktop scenes. Well... i installed kiba-dock on my laptop lastnight but my instincts are telling me that its not the popular dock of today [04:10] have you heard that vlc is going qt? well that's offtopic. hehe [04:10] or look at mediabuntu and install that [04:10] astro76: yes [04:10] took over* [04:10] cgentry72: that would be in the samaba config then [04:10] also wers vlc audio playback didnt work for my fresh after installing.. i had to change the audio source from the default one to alsamixer [04:10] anyone know? [04:11] something like that.. and now it works great :) [04:11] kwan, never used that one i have always used AWN [04:11] cant get data icon? whats this mean [04:11] astro76: i can't find the samba config anywhere in the menu [04:11] d4tmin3r what were you trying to do when you got the error? [04:11] kwan this isnt the place for polls and questions of that sort... see #Ubuntu-offtpoic for discussion and opinions about what people like best. [04:11] como me voy a ubuntu.es ?? [04:11] cgentry72: it's the file /etc/samba/smb.conf [04:11] ubuntu-es [04:11] i think awn looks better then cario-dock [04:11] yabbo: the message seems to appear when theres alot of traffic for one site.... [04:11] harriseldon: im in the middle of a update... [04:11] Mago_seiyu /join #ubuntu-es [04:11] Mago_seiyu: /join #ubuntu-es [04:12] astro76: ok thanks [04:12] 172 updates [04:12] Is there a better solution than the non-free flash drivers from adobe? [04:12] cgentry72: there's a line with workgroup = SOMETHING [04:12] DemonicButthead, what does better mean? free? [04:12] hey, isn't ndiswrapper included on the ubuntu cd? [04:12] i want a free flash drive [04:12] teimu my sentiments exactly. you beat me to it. lol [04:13] it is [04:13] teimu - better as in works better? seemless? [04:13] kwan http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page its fully customizable [04:13] bobboy, not sure what to tell you about that :( [04:13] harriseldon: any idea? [04:13] DemonicButthead, the non-free's are going to be the most comprehensive. [04:14] yabbo: really though lol.. i could understand if the entire net dropped that just be because wireless net sucks but it doesnt.. i can still surf other pages which leads me to think its FF's fault lol [04:14] teimu - but gnash only seems to 'partially' work on some web pages [04:14] bobboy, might be a timeout issue in FF3 [04:14] Did a fresh install of Hardy on a HP dv6000 of my housemates and the wifi chip I guess is broadcom which worked at first after installing the restricted drivers. Now it doesn't seem to either detect the card at all or scan, not sure. Not sure where to start with this so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! [04:14] DemonicButthead, yea...so get the non-free's if you want it to work fully [04:14] D4tmin3r did this occur during command line update or from update manager? [04:14] blackvd [04:14] same problem [04:15] if i figure it out ill let ya know [04:15] broadcom 83xx [04:15] cool same here [04:15] harriseldon: its just a icon up where the update icon comes from [04:15] yabbo: happens when i do alot of things fast like youtube or facebook and such.. its weird lol really weird and getting annoying.. cant wait till the devs put the repository up for rc1 to see if it fixes the issue.. [04:15] DemonicButthead, you should be able to download the plugin right throught firefox [04:15] teimu - my contention is that the gnash setup didn't work fully.. thats what lead me to thinking the non-free would be better to use [04:15] what is the best buy when buying a wireless card.. best support for ubuntu? [04:15] blackdvd which one is it [04:15] what model [04:15] DemonicButthead, i'd agree with that [04:15] d4t4min3r did it prevent the update from continuing? [04:15] no [04:15] not sure how do I check? I believe the 43XX [04:15] blackdvd mine is Broadcom BCM4328 802 ABGN [04:16] bobboy, thats why i try not to get into an OS the day it comes out even though its hard for me :p [04:16] in hardy go to hardware test [04:16] Emu de NES java p/ FIREFOX: http://www.firenes.com.ar/firenes-1.0.xpi [04:16] temiu = the non-free drivers for some reason work on 10 or 12 web pages and then all of the sudden stop working? [04:16] did that but it didn't even do an internet check [04:16] bobboy, i always want to install an OS the day it comes out and im always let down [04:16] d4t4min3r, laptop or desktop [04:16] !dpkg-reconfigure [04:16] Arrick: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:16] which is weird cause my laptop did [04:16] desktop [04:16] what is the best aim client to use on ubuntu?

[04:16] kyle_: pidgin [04:17] d4t4min3r, it doesn't allow you to do group chats though [04:17] DemonicButthead, hmm, troubleshooting that is a bit out of my league [04:17] i dont think aim allows group chats anymore [04:17] blackdvd [04:17] yabbo: lol k thx anyway man.. and do you know how to turn off the system beep (like in terminal when you backspace and there is nothing to backspace or even in pidgin?)? [04:17] skip test until it shows you your network info [04:17] d4t4min3r, check out the pci 4130 pci here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101 [04:17] hey, is there a problem with Broadcom BCM4328 in hardy?

[04:21] d4t4min3r, follow the link i sent you, it says no config, works out of the box [04:21] teimu video in general, closing my laptop lid screws up the picture to the point it needs a hard reboot to get it back [04:21] DemonicButthead: i have everything wacom from the pckg mngr, but...no good so far [04:22] thx yabbo [04:22] bobboy, np [04:22] theFATMAN.. which processor do they use in that tablet?

I'll let you know if the method I give him works [04:23] yabbo: it also works for me if i use flipflop [04:23] bobboy, i use a black screen as my screen saver let me change it [04:23] I have compiz in installed but I don't have the "Desktop Efffect" in the menu [04:23] k [04:24] blackdvd [04:24] lanlost [04:24] yo [04:24] were all in the same boat [04:24] Arrick, hmm. it seems ubuntu thinks your system is a desktop...or something. try installing gnome-power-manager [04:24] invit him in [04:24] afallenhope: look for a package called advanced desktop effect settins [04:24] afallenhope: you should check it in the config menu [04:24] afallenhope are desktop effects enabled in system-preferences-appearance? [04:24] Lanlost: thanks I'm thinking his wi-fi card might be bad cause under windows he had to constantly reinstall his drivers [04:24] settings* [04:24] he has a dv6000 [04:24] bobboy, nope and i turned on flurry [04:24] same wifi card [04:24] afallenhope: youll love it [04:24] blackvd, well your problem isn't really the same.. mixter didn't know how to load the drivers at all [04:25] :-p [04:25] Arrick, that'd be sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager in the console [04:25] I don't have Desktop effect ins hte menu [04:25] teimu its installed already [04:25] so I had him use ndiswrapper and a windows inf with the idea to use that to use the restricted driver after he gets the internet [04:25] bobboy, im on 7.10 not 8.04 :p [04:25] im getting real close [04:25] I hope you aren't having the same problem I had with my broadcom [04:25] I need an aim client for ubuntu that allows you to do group chats? [04:25] yabbo: im on 8.04 [04:25] yabbo: lol [04:25] I have desktop effects enabled [04:25] Arrick, so what is different after closing the lid? [04:25] My laptop was a compaq and had a button that would let you turn off and on the wireless. [04:25] nice lanlost wise words lol [04:26] in configcompiz setting manager [04:26] I installed leopard on to my laptop and it wouldn't work and I eventually found out that Macbooks have the same card EXACTLY [04:26] teimu the screen just scrambles, want to vnc in and see? [04:26] lol [04:26] i hope i dont have any problems at all [04:26] I need an aim client for ubuntu that allows you to do group chats? [04:26] but it wouldn't even scan or find the card, like you are saying [04:26] afallenhope: disable desktop wall and check desktop cube [04:26] afallenhope: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [04:26] Arrick, uhh, that's ok, for your security's sake... [04:26] afallenhope: Applications --> Add/Remove search advanced should be first package there called Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) [04:26] the reason was that the light was off.. most of these buttons when you click them just disable the card in the OS.. but it turns out that the button actually disables the card by turning off its power [04:27] kyle_ is that a question? Are you planning on using group chats? If not, it should not matter. [04:27] so without power it can't even get detected.. [04:27] In your opinion : best game pre-packed with ubuntu? [04:27] bobboy, http://www.senjinprophets.com/screenshot.png [04:27] harriseldon, yes I am planning on using group chats [04:27] <_s_a_t_a_n_> I tried to boot almost ALL linux live cd's, noone works. They cannot find the root filesystem and bring me to a limited shell. Why can this error happen with absolutely all linux live cd's on my hardware??? === rewrwfafe is now known as paul_cross === Scientus__ is now known as scientus [04:27] harriseldon, if I wasn't going to use group chats I would just use meebo. [04:27] it's just ironic that macbooks use the same card natively and I couldn't get the card to work because of a toggle button [04:27] Arrick, had this been happening ever since you installed ubuntu? [04:28] but make sure the buttons on for you, It might be the same problem [04:28] the light wouldn't work at all without the restricted driver on for me or with ndiswrapper [04:28] yes teimu [04:28] gnight all [04:28] kyle_ fyi meebo uses pidgin as the backend [04:28] !google [04:28] google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [04:28] yabbo: sexy [04:29] bobboy, :p [04:29] what app do i use for viewing a desktop larger then what my display device is [04:29] :P [04:29] Arrick. i dunno man. try the forums maybe? theres some really bright people there (too) [04:30] how do you get swfdec-mozilla to load flash files and start playing automatically? [04:30] has anyone here experience segfaults after running vmware for a while. Whenever I return back to linux from my windows vm, everything I open closes immediately after I try to type in something. EG, I open firefox. Bout to type something in the google search, and it closes whenever I hit the first key. It does this with everything, except nautilus. Alt+tab doesn't work, and the shift+right-arrow for highlighting doesn't work either [04:30] or highlighting doesn't work either [04:30] IT WORKS [04:30] its alive! [04:30] yabbo: tried installed AWN but that thing was just horrible [04:30] bobboy, on 8.04? [04:30] yabbo: yes sir [04:31] lanlost is king in these far territories [04:31] bobboy, it works great on 7.10 i dont think its tested on 8.04 yet [04:31] Lanlost, just a word of newfound info, most w-cards (especially HP machines) need power on before/during the drivers are installed, and before the manager is installed(whatever manager is used), or the manager will not work [04:31] anyone have any idea [04:31] yabbo: worked great if you have an idea of what your doing.. deffinitly not something to try for a first timer lol [04:31] i just installed my drivers [04:32] they work flawlessly [04:32] broadcome 4328 [04:32] bobboy, lol true [04:32] kyle_ it seems like pidgin supports group chat. Have you tried to use it in pidgin? === adaijdnfalsdf is now known as djhash [04:33] bobboy, would be nice to have a preconfiged ubuntu release from the mac4lin group [04:33] Lanlost: so when I installed hardy on this hp dv6000 it asked to install restricted wi-fi drivers b43-fwcutter which are not working now. So should I uninstall them and install the bcm43xx-fwcutter driver or try the ndiswrapper route? [04:33] ubuntu.es [04:33] muahahhahha [04:33] i'm on pidgin [04:33] just wanted to let you guys know i got it working :d [04:33] blackdvd [04:33] kyle_ choose buddies-join a chat and type in group name [04:33] hello, guys [04:33] i just did the ndiswrapper route [04:33] compiz + 8.04 +nvidia 9800GTX FTW! [04:33] then i browsed the inf file [04:33] caio [04:34] bobboy, i use to have my system look like this http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac [04:34] http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-53245-1&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&product=3444231&os=228 [04:34] ^^blackdvd [04:34] who can help a newb get a wacom tablet going on ubuntu 8.04, AMD 64bit? [04:34] ubunru.es [04:34] ?? [04:34] help ubuntu.es? [04:34] harriseldon, how do you invite people to that though [04:34] blackdvd first extract files in temp directory [04:34] yabbo: i got fed up with it.. you need to have compiz on which i only know how to do from appearence --> visual effects ... from there wasnt sure if you needed normal or extra.. tutorial neglects to mention it.. than the whole delete gnome panel was REALLY REALLY sketchy.. started AWN clicked save process and checked start open processes on startup.. restarted and that didnt work at all [04:35] mixter, just a word of newfound info, for future, most w-cards (especially HP machines) need power (to the device) on before/during the drivers are installed, and before the manager is installed(whatever manager is used), or the manager will not work [04:35] theFATMAN.. is your tablet 64 bit capable? [04:35] gotcha [04:35] kyle_ I have never used it. You probably check pidgin's website for documentation [04:35] i had it on the whole time [04:35] ubuntu.es ?????????? como lleho?

If you do not use those then you can try the Simdock package [04:38] kyle_ did you try conversation->invite once you are in chat? I do not use chat rooms through AIM so I do not know how it works [04:38] bobboy, which means you need the compiz manager [04:38] i have 4 hp machines present [04:38] anyone here knows how to automatically disable laptop speakers when a headset is plug? [04:38] yabbo: so i was stuck with a desktop without ANY panels at all.. luckily i made my windows button open a terminal.. tried to start awn and it said i needed to do something with compiz like compiz -fusion or something.. did that but there was a bunch of other stuff like warnings and stuff.. so i started up gnome panel again and tinkered some more and FINALLY got AWN open but it still wouldnt start on restart (gave up be [04:38] 2 laptops one dv9000 [04:38] 1 desktop hp pavillion [04:38] i also have 2 gateway laptops here [04:39] <= IT department [04:39] mixter, lol, then blame this on the bios ;-) [04:39] bobboy, you have to set it up to start as a service [04:39] I am trying to record my screen with audio ,but all the programs I have been using Do video or sound fine ,but when you try to take them together the sound has bad parts in it. What is good screencast program [04:39] yabbo: i did that was why i was angry lol [04:39] I am running open office calc via a ssh session and it keeps "greying out" every about 15 seconds. It does so for about 10 seconds. Why would that be? [04:39] i cant believe that that network driver worked with ndis [04:39] gooody what ubuntu version are you using? PulseAudio may do it automatically, otherwise there is usually a headphone jack sense flag in the volume mixer for the device. [04:39] seaphor its amazing i have internet on hardy [04:39] yabbo: it was setup as a service but it just didnt start.. [04:39] harriseldon: ubuntu hardy [04:40] mixter, great aint it!, i fought 6 months for wireless! [04:40] gooody is the headset a usb headset or through the speaker jack?

[04:42] you need to get a macpick and a mac hammer to open the macbox [04:42] bobboy, try 7.10 :p everything is currently set to work with it and wait till everything is fixed for 8.04 [04:42] because Im worried about copying and pasting files from the patch to seperate folders that the nexuiz files are located in [04:42] mixter, system>administration>hardware drivers [04:42] gooody there may be a switch in the volume control. Open the volume control. Then change the device to the Alsa version. Then under Edit Preferences look for an item that may correspond to headphone jack sense or something similar. Then enable it [04:42] mixter, where is that, what file speciffically [04:42] it wont let me [04:43] what would make num lock not work on my desktop? [04:43] seaphor it says its a proprietary drive [04:43] .. what the hell [04:43] mixter: ok I transferred the exe driver to the other computer and put in a folder named wifi in the home dir [04:43] and that its not allowe doto install it [04:43] haha [04:43] anyone plz [04:43] I stopped getting text, but I'm still logged in [04:43] mixter: how do I extract it?

[04:44] Lanlost, :) [04:44] what is emerald in a nutshell?

I really want it to be lanlost [04:45] Is there anyway to create a new user and then get rid of the old? [04:45] harriseldon: i have enable the headphone switch but it still don't work. [04:46] I mean, will that work.. I didn't know if the one I made during install had anything special about it [04:46] How would I find out the reason my laptop does not suspend/resume in Hardy -- it does in fedora 9, opensuse 11betas and foresight 2 -- but not ubuntu ... [04:46] I doubt it seeing that theres no root enabled by default [04:46] Lanlost: the only thing special that you'll have to add to the second, is to make it a member of the admin group, to have sudo rights [04:46] mixter, i have an issue, can you /join #SeaPhor to work on this? [04:46] gooody that has worked for me in the past, however hardy uses pulse audio instead of alsa. have you checked forums or wiki or google? [04:46] seaphoir [04:46] join my chat [04:47] Lanlost: the first one is a member of the 'admin' group. [04:47] harriseldon: thanks for the help. i'll try check the forum. [04:47] markginter24 look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend for help with suspend [04:47] thank you harriseldon - will do ... [04:49] hey guys, what's the command to stop GDM?... [04:49] illriginal: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [04:49] Cool. [04:49] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:49] huh, invoke-rc.d is new. I like it [04:49] he [04:49] ah I used that before. good stuff, astro76 and hoonteke [04:50] hi [04:50] hoonteke: update-rc.d is even handier to know ;) [04:50] hey guys, I'm trying to setup a dual boot with XP and for some reason when I boot from the xp disc it says taht there is no HDD present :( anyone have an idea? tia [04:50] what exactly is that for, astro76? [04:50] is it just me, or was gnome-system-monitor's cpu usage fixed in hardy? [04:50] thanks astro76 [04:50] harriseldon -- through my googling/ubuntuforum-ing I've come across most of those issues. I suspect it has something to do with the ati driver - but it doesn't make sense - since it works fine in foresight 2 [04:50] 'night all [04:51] hello [04:51] illriginal: update-rc.d can be used to install and remove the init script links [04:51] markginter24 are you using the free driver or the ATI binary driver? That may be the difference. [04:51] astro76: The man page says it's not intended to be used by people. [04:51] ok i have a question [04:51] harriseldon -- only the free driver [04:51] Does anyone know of software to do video conferencing (ie, video chat with more than 2 participants)? [04:51] but it hangs using either one [04:51] how in the world do i get my broadcom bcm4328 card working in hardy? [04:52] redhat2 - did you try the Hardware Drivers option [04:52] System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers [04:52] markginter24 where's that? [04:52] oh ok thanks [04:52] AzMoo: for update-rc.d, yeah true [04:52] np [04:52] guys, how install anything in unix systems? (ubuntu of course) [04:52] Newbuntu2: http://www.oovoo.com//download/ if you're willing to use wine as well [04:53] markginter24 nope not in there...just my nvidia chipset [04:53] AzMoo: because there are easier tools to use [04:53] any suggestion for some good games for a low-end machine? i got fb and wormux... what else? === noob is now known as nooblais [04:53] astro76: yeah, sysv-rc-conf. [04:53] redhat2: most likely you will have to use fwcutter or ndiswrapper to cut drivers out of the firmware of the broadcom routers, broadcom do not release source of their chipset drivers so you won't find any. [04:53] redhat2 - what chipset? it's a wireless card, no? [04:53] anyone care to help me set that up? [04:53] yeah it's a broadcom laptop wireless card [04:54] pcmcia? [04:54] bcm4328 [04:54] Hello, I have a question for anybody- Is it unheard of for a Cat5 cable to have a break randomly in the middle? [04:54] ekiga?... not sure [04:54] no, internal [04:54] hm [04:54] The-Bleh-Bleh: no, its happened to several of mine [04:54] The-Bleh-Bleh: No, but it does usually imply somebody's run over it with something. [04:54] i'm still thinking you'll probably have to use fwcutter [04:54] AzMoo: actually from reading the invoke-rc.d description, depending on what you need to accomplish, it isn't appropriate either [04:54] Newbuntu2: did you get my message? [04:55] hi rixon [04:55] AzMoo: The thing is, it's brand new. 35 feet though. [04:55] welcome back [04:55] ty [04:55] =) [04:55] redhat2 - sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter [04:55] Is this where I ask people simple questions :'D [04:56] the console says i need to reconfigure dpkg when i sudo apt-get install!?? [04:56] i dont know why they had to break it on me...it worked fine in feisty [04:56] redhat2 - when it installs it should ask you to download the firmware - allow it to do that -- and then simply sudo rmmod b43 and then sudo modprobe b43 [04:56] astro76: One wonders why you wouldn't just run the init script directly. [04:56] woli: what exactly does it tell you? [04:56] astro76: Unless you were using it in a script. [04:56] mandrig: I'm checking it out. Looks like it's just what I need, thanks! The fact that it's windows is better, the other people don't run linux... :( [04:56] AzMoo: yeah I believe you should run it directly, I won't be recommending invoke-rc.d anymore ;) [04:57] mandrig: Is this the only one, or are there other alternatives to compare to? [04:57] markginter24: i'm sure a root shell would be easier than all those sudo commands in a row [04:57] anyone know the best way to play counterstrike on ubuntu? [04:57] Newbuntu2: I just googled 'free video conferencing' and that was the first link [04:57] sudo: unable to resolve host [04:57] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run "dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem [04:57] redhat2: install windows? [04:57] Rixon - I guess so -- I'm a fast typer so I don't mind... [04:57] woli: run sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:57] hell no kappaccino haha [04:57] could someone please help me setup a dal boot with XP? for some reason when I boot xp the setup errors saying it cannot detect a HDD. tia :D [04:58] then tough luck :P [04:58] redhat2: either steam on wine, or a virtaul machine [04:58] i guess i'll stick to wine or crossover [04:58] One more question- With a cat5 cable, does it matter what colors you use where, as long as both sides of the cords match? [04:58] j/k I'm sure there is a way. I just don't know [04:58] The-Bleh-Bleh: Nope, doesn't matter, although it's usually good to conform to the standard. [04:59] Can you swith between two different users with one using kde and the other gnome? [04:59] *switch [04:59] Thanks. [04:59] keithclark: yes [04:59] how do I start a k desktop environment? [04:59] xorand: look in the sessions or options menu at the login screen [04:59] Starnestommy: just using the standard "switch user" option? [04:59] Starnestommy, it says sudo: unable to resolve host ahain [04:59] again* [04:59] Starnestommy, thank you [04:59] keithclark: yes [05:00] Rixon-: I'm interested in this virtual machine, PM ? [05:00] woli: did you recently try to change your computer's name? [05:00] ? [05:00] ok. [05:00] kappaccino: i cant pm, non-reg'd nick [05:00] no.... [05:00] doh [05:01] i just tried to install an app and entered my password wrong... [05:01] Rixon-: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration shows how to register [05:01] lol i know how to [05:01] i just cant be bothered [05:01] so ... anyone an expert on suspend issues with laptops? [05:01] anywhoo, so it's just an emulated windows right? (if I was using linux) [05:01] what did you want to know anyway? [05:02] yeah it's like running a non-existant computer, in a window, you can instal anything on it, BSD/linux/unix/mac/windows/whatever [05:02] redhat2 any luck with the b43? [05:02] you save a file as a disk image, that becomes your virtual hard drive [05:02] and you can install windows programs within the virtual machine? save settings etc? [05:02] markginter24 waiting for this updating to finish before i can do it [05:02] yeah [05:02] care to PM me? [05:02] so it's easier to talk [05:03] redhat2 - non-registered nick -- sorry... [05:03] lookup virtualbox/vmware/JVM [05:03] ah ok [05:03] Hi [05:03] for example, if I had this windows only insurance application (assume wine didn't work), I could run a vm of windows, install that and use it? [05:03] how do you use the 'cube' feature in compiz? [05:03] kappaccino yes [05:03] yes [05:03] hola [05:03] DemonicButthead: it's a plugin [05:04] you need the compizconfig manager [05:04] ne1?? :( [05:04] !es [05:04] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

[05:04] right.. i have the compiz config manager installed.. i don't know what the keyboard command is for it [05:04] kappaccino: i doubt xp needs a gig [05:04] is there a guide to compiz keyboard commands? [05:04] kappaccino: afaik xp will run on 256mb [05:04] this will probably be win2003 server [05:04] whats the command for the force quit thing? [05:04] hello all [05:04] but that's xp anyway :P [05:04] I've run vmware workstation on a laptop with 512mb of ram.. It crawls, but it runs [05:04] I think.... [05:04] anyone help me install drivers for gfx card [05:04] DemonicButthead: If you look through the compiz manager, then it will show the keyboard commands [05:04] Rixon-: but uou would need abit more when using it in a VM [05:05] thanks mandrig.. i will look closer [05:05] DemonicButthead: the config is a program, it will be in system>preferences>advanced desktop settings [05:05] What is the synaptic command to install kde 4?

[05:05] thanks Rixon :) [05:05] keithclark: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop [05:05] DemonicButthead: i believe you need to isntall compiz-settings-manager if you havent already [05:06] zChris_: i dont think the guest os would requier more ram, if anything your host os will be using more, for the emulation [05:06] astro76: thanks. Do gnome and kde4 co-exist in a friendly way? [05:06] zChris_: i allready told him that, he has compizconfig [05:06] DemonicButthead: for example, keycomman for starting the desktop cube is [05:06] zChris.. i have it installed, however.. what is the reference to 'super' key? i don't know where the heck thats supposed to be :P [05:06] DemonicButthead: the super key is the 'windows' key [05:06] DemonicButthead: superkey is the windows key [05:06] keithclark: sure [05:06] Rixon-: thats what i mean, since you are using a vm you would need more ram to run an os in it. [05:07] kappacino, I run XP on a vmware with 1gb of ram and it works very well. It runs perfectly a fastcad application. [05:07] whats the command for the forcequit pannel app?

[05:11] provolik: no, but to emulate a click or whatever you can use wget [05:12] and then put that on cron [05:12] Varak: that script wont 'press enter', it will just echoa newline in a terminal. [05:12] astro: Yes, and I get an error message, [05:12] astro: "Could not read book disk" [05:12] boot* [05:12] yup, you're right [05:12] Rasputin: you should verify the iso you downloaded, and if that checks out maybe burn at a slower speed [05:12] Varak, I need that is the application to receive the enter signal [05:13] !md5 | Rasputin [05:13] Rasputin: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:13] How can I find out what video driver my computer is using?

[05:16] hi to everybody [05:17] <|7hs|> I have Gutsy installed on an OLPC XO-1, and am trying to set up wifi. iwconfig seems to connect to the AP, dhclient runs and fetches an IP and DNS settings (though there is one 'permission denied' error), but there is no gateway. If I try to add it manually with "route add default gw 192.168.8.1" it causes the error "SIOCADDRT: No such process", and trying to ping the LAN or anything else causes "connect: Network is unreachable" [05:17] <|7hs|> Does anyone have any idea what the problem is? [05:20] how do i copy a file to a system folder? it keeps saying permission denied [05:20] i'm trying to add a script to etc/init.d/ [05:20] redhat2: with sudo [05:20] so what would the command be? [05:21] Flannel I'm still pretty new to linux [05:21] redhat2: sudo cp source dest [05:21] i'm used to OS X [05:21] * No1CaNTeL wonders why his q has been ignored for half an hour while everyone else seems to get their answers within a few seconds?? :( [05:21] how hard is it to set up that *nix -> AD link that is featured... what's it called now >_> [05:21] No1CaNTeL: what was your q ? [05:21] guys new here what packages do you guys use on a daily basis [05:21] No1CaNTeL: Your problem is a windows problem. You should ask in ##windows [05:21] how is it windows? [05:22] No1CaNTeL: Because your windows disc won't boot? [05:22] I am running ubuntu and I want to setup a dual boot with windows? [05:22] No1CaNTeL: it's because XP isn't detecting the hard disk [05:22] any ideas why that would happen? [05:22] you need sata driveres [05:22] this was originally an xp system [05:22] then use your original xp disc [05:22] and you wotn have a problem [05:23] No1CaNTeL: XP is ancient, they don't know about SATA drives. You need to provide a floppy with drivers on it. They can help you in ##windows [05:23] otherwise you need to slipstream your sata drivers win nlite [05:23] my print server has stopped working, I can connect to http://localhost:631/ but not to 192.168.1.60:631 which is my IP. no one on my home network can print now any ideas what the problem is? [05:24] i installed another OS bit i want to format it i hope that you people can help me please http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazomu4.png [05:24] is the part /dev/sda6 [05:25] Were the drivers erased when I installed Ubuntu then? This system was originally XP, it was re formatted a few times with xp without this problem, it is only after I installed buntu that I have run into this issue, which is why I would think this is related to ubuntu more then windows? [05:25] ferfactor_: it looks like it has /dev/sda1 set as the main partition [05:25] join #mysql [05:25] oups [05:25] Starnestommy: yes is the main part... [05:26] No1CaNTeL: Existing operating systems have no part in the installation of new ones [05:26] when my computer starts appear me a screen. there i choose the os that i want... [05:26] how can i make videos run smoother in either firefox or opera [05:26] Starnestommy can you explaint o me how to install compiz [05:26] ferfactor_: you only need one swap partition btw, it can be shared between different linux installs [05:26] so then why would this be a windows issue if it started to happen after installing ubuntu? [05:26] mixter: I don't remember how, sorry [05:26] ringer: better processor... [05:26] No1CaNTeL: because Windows is the OS that's having the problem, not Ubuntu [05:26] No1CaNTeL: Because you're installing windows, and the fact that you have Ubuntu on your drive doesn't come into play at all. [05:27] astro how i swap... [05:27] right click?? [05:27] I have a small issue. HELP! I can type KOREAN in open office but it prints squares on my HP Deskjet 5740 [05:27] mixter: open your synaptics package manager and search for compiz manager [05:27] could something like this happen if my partitions are not setup correctly? [05:27] hsystemx: lol thats it? there are no tricks? [05:27] No1CaNTeL: no, the CD is independant of anything on the harddrive [05:27] swansk: You may have more luck in #ubuntu-ko [05:27] ringer, dont take that serious.. *joke,. [05:28] thanks Flannel [05:28] try to slow graphic effects. [05:28] ferfactor_: you would need to add an entry for each OS in /boot/grub/menu.lst, then select the OS at the boot prompt after pressing ESC [05:28] blur... etc... [05:28] I never had this problem with Ubuntu before [05:28] Recent thing [05:28] Recent as in 8.04 [05:28] hsystemx: well im sure it wouldnt hurt anything (but my wallet) to get a better one, but it just seems that videos run choppy in both firefox and opera === wishie is now known as wishie[out] [05:28] !away > wishie[out] [05:29] Starnestommy: i want Ubuntu the only one, i want format the other O.S [05:29] kk, I will check in at ##windows then, ty, but it just seems odd that this starts to happen only after installing ubuntu though. :P [05:29] ringer, do you have graphic effects enable? [05:29] hsystemx: in compiz you mean? then yes. [05:30] ringer, turn off desktop effects, or compiz ... or do metacity --replace ... [05:30] and then try to see those videos... [05:30] how about 3d rendering ringer, would that have something to do with the video playback issue???? === Lanlost_ is now known as Lanlost [05:30] astro76: I worked just fine, thank you. [05:30] hsystemx: i dont do any 3d rendering, and is there a quick way to just turn off compiz while im watching videos, and switch it back on when im done? [05:31] astro76: in PCLinuxOS it did not work at all. [05:31] ringer "metacity --replace" [05:31] nevermind I found the problem [05:31] um , metacity --replace and then compiz --replace ? [05:31] hsystemx: also, i would like to keep my emerald theme, so i really dont want to do metacity replace lol...im being way to picky [05:31] hsystemx: in the command in window decorations?

[05:32] takes you back to your non-fancy desktop ringer [05:32] provolik: explain [05:33] then to turn on compiz, do compiz --replace [05:33] and if you want emerald on, then do emerald --replace [05:33] hsystemx okay, how do i get back to my fancy one after that?

[05:34] !enter | Mr [05:34] Mr: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [05:34] !enter [05:34] ringer, montpelie ... is right, in that order. [05:34] montpelie: && means that the second part will not execute until compiz exits [05:34] so that will not work [05:34] compiz --replace and then emerald --replace. [05:34] provolik: did you chmod +x the script? [05:34] im tired [05:34] anybody knows smth about that SATA stuff? or maybe knows where to read smth? === Gaint_Sura is now known as GaintSura [05:34] Ok. Well I have a RealTek Wifi Card and Ubuntu doesnt recognize it. Can anyone help? im typing this within Pidgin on a wired connection.

[05:36] provolik: sorry I don't understand any of your English :( [05:36] astro76, because I am italian and english is not my friend :) [05:36] if you just want to kill compiz and all those process, do: ps -ef|grep YOURUSER ... then do: KILL PIDNUMBER [05:37] montpelie: they'd both run that way, although as I said, it's not necessary [05:37] astro76, however sh links dash that is 755 [05:37] why would you killl compiz? [05:37] gotcha, thanx crdlb [05:37] kill* [05:37] can anyone tell me how to get nexuiz 2.4.2? [05:37] who is able to add factoids to the bot?: [05:37] to stop consuming ram?

[05:38] exactly, there's never a reason to use kill for that [05:38] hsystemx: i get an error now when resuming compiz. "GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read.

[05:54] Souler: if you had internet... it would show up in the same place with the NVIDIA drivers and you could download the files you need for it to work [05:55] Mr_Bad_News, #blackbox? [05:55] Souler: You would have to search for the wireless card you have (exact one) and find a package to install for it [05:55] its pretty much empty Ahadiel [05:55] okay... thx for help. [05:55] s'up [05:56] Souler: A wee bit more complicated and time consuming, but it works. I had to do the same thing with mine to get wireless... to get the NVIDIA drivers... to get happy [05:56] Souler: np, wish i could have helped more [05:56] What's better: Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec player or Gnash SWF Player?

When I install xserver-xgl [05:59] it seems to switch my opengl driver to Mesa [05:59] wittyphotons: most of your questions are probably best answered in #windows [06:00] so when I type "fglrxinfo" I get this [06:00] OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project [06:00] Instead of ATI [06:01] aw god [06:01] mkitzma1, "glxinfo |grep direct", have U tried that? === fserve_ is now known as fserve [06:01] so you know whether or not 3d rend is enabled [06:02] it seems to do the desktop effects just fine, but playing any 3d games kills my x server [06:03] I need help getting back the default setting for ubutnu [06:03] montpelie: I will have to enable the xserver-xgl [06:03] i did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop gobuntu-desktop edubuntu-desktop [06:03] what do you want xgl for mkitzma1???

[06:06] How i fix it or [06:06] go back to default [06:06] ak47: Easiest way is reinstalling. If we don't want to do that, there's an easy way to remove KDE and XFCE: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [06:06] you mean, how can you get back to gnome desktop then right???????' [06:07] ak47 [06:07] montpelie ya? [06:07] at the logon screen, there is an option that lets you choose which kind of session you want to start the computer up with [06:08] anyone know if the new ubuntu installer asks you to confirm what other OSes you have installed? I didn't notice it come up on mine, and then i got these GRUB errors... [06:08] sup [06:08] montpelie i did but can't go back to the default looking ubuntu 8.04 [06:08] lol, then I dont know, let me check [06:09] maybe i should just try to install again? [06:09] hey everyone. i'm trying to resize (shrink) an ext3 partition using parted but it tells me that an incompatible feature is enabled. dumpe2fs list these features enabled: has_journal resize_inode dir_index filetype sparse_super large_file. anyone know how to go about this?

[06:11] mkitzma1: right, that's normal [06:11] I am unable to create database [06:11] and [06:11] crdlb: shouldn't it be saying Yes? [06:11] if i use Wubi to install ubuntu same partition as windows and windows dies or gets corrrupted does ubuntu die too? [06:12] mkitzma1: upgrade to hardy, then you won't need Xgl [06:12] mkitzma1: no, you're using Xgl [06:12] also unable to create password for any of the existing users [06:12] including root [06:12] I have, and I experience lock ups when using fglrx [06:12] sacamano: It depends. It could, yes, it depends on what goes wrong [06:12] that's the reason why X crashes then, I run into the same problem once, and the way I could get it fixed was by uninstalling ati driver (that actually sucks), and it just worked [06:13] so then use the ati driver? [06:13] ynyus77: how did you install mysql? [06:13] I'd say NO [06:14] as a matter of fact I was using CENTOS by that time, had Feisty on a different partition though [06:14] mkitzma1 - ubuntu installed by itself [06:14] I just checked the command mysql -u root [06:14] it failed [06:14] ok, did you install the mysql-server? [06:14] but mysql -root@localhost worked [06:15] looks like it got installed [06:15] and I could succesffully start mysqld [06:15] ynyus77: put sudo in front of that.

[06:50] voodoo is old [06:50] danaG: no wonder [06:50] Oddly enough, the xorg log showed tdfx picking up 1280x1024 from the edid. [06:50] Yet... Gnome wouldn't use it. [06:50] In Windows, I can actually use it at 1600x1200, though of course it won't do 3D. [06:50] so can anyone suggest me anything? [06:50] So something must be screwy with the xrandr, or something. [06:50] Hi. I'm wondering what the easiest to setup mailing list implementation is. I already have a working postfix + dovecot + squirrelmail (and I don't need virtual users, or domains) [06:50] It also disabled dri even when running 16-bit color. [06:50] any admins [06:50] welll? [06:51] anyone? [06:51] how do i "install into a partition outside of the raid array" [06:51] ? === XLV_ is now known as XLV [06:51] achtung: You might have to wait for a while before someone can answer your question. [06:51] do i just make a new partition with acronis disk manager or something like that, and install wubi there? [06:51] ok, sorry [06:51] What is acronis disk manager? [06:52] its a program for creating partitions [06:52] deleting them and resizing them too [06:52] achtung, part [06:52] yesudeep, http://dpaste.com/51807/ [06:52] thanks [06:52] hi [06:52] I'd suggest using gparted in its stead. [06:52] I've updated my openssl packages, but all the rsa keys I generate are still weak. Is there a way to fix this? [06:52] achtung: the whole point of wubi is not having to change partitions, if you are going to change partitions, just install ubuntu for real [06:52] but i dont have a CD-r [06:52] and dont want to get one [06:53] achtung, gpart is good [06:53] im too lazy [06:53] achtung: that's a poor reason [06:53] Grako: How do you know they are weak? Did ssh-vulnkey tell you so? [06:53] i know [06:53] but still valid [06:53] !install | achtung [06:53] achtung: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [06:53] yesudeep, yes, and also, i'm using a script, and it says: e is 65537 (0x10001) [06:53] k thanks [06:53] also, the key is generated unusually fast [06:54] anyone here know if Firefox 3 rc1 will make it into the Ubuntu repositories? [06:54] !ff3rc | Geoffrey2 [06:54] Geoffrey2: The Firefox 3 RC package is not currently available as most of the Ubuntu-mozilla team are at the Ubuntu Developer Summit. Thanks for your patience. [06:55] astro76, ah, thanks... [06:55] sai: 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) [06:55] can it be done with just postfix and procmail? [06:55] sai: Which motherboard is that? [06:55] hold on [06:56] lemme check [06:56] hihi all, i tried logging in to xfce desktop few times in order to succeed. never had any problems with gnome. switched to xfce because computer specs a bit low for gnome. how do i solve the problem? thanks in advance [06:56] sai: ASUS M2N-VM or something? [06:56] M2NPV-VM [06:56] Asus [06:56] I tried downloading it from Mozilla's website, but I can't seem to find any kind of installer script anywhere in the folder [06:56] My dad just gave me the parts and i stuck it together [06:56] but that is really much easier than the stuff i need to know how to do [06:57] just switched to linux this week [06:57] Geoffrey2: you can just run from the extracted directory [06:57] Geoffrey2: linux tarball has no installer [06:57] I wanted to upgrade an Ubuntu package with one from a .deb (built for Ubuntu). How do I get apt-get to pick up the .deb file on disk? === newb is now known as trupheenix [06:58] sdtr443w: you need dpkg -i for .deb files [06:58] sdtr443w: sudo dpkg -i foobar.deb === newb is now known as trupheenix [06:58] hello i installed ubuntu 8.04. i dont know what key to press in installing all the packages of the server like lamp,openssh printer etc...so i hit the key X - no luck.. i did cntrl+x - same thing no response from the computer.so what i did is i press "enter" and after that done installing..how to install all the list of packages?is it okay i will reinstall the ubuntu server and press the spacebar so i could install all the packages?thanks [06:58] Kalamansi: space [06:59] Kalamansi: space selects [06:59] Thanks everybody. That was easy. === stephen_ is now known as stephenishere [07:00] Another question. I have to recursively unzip a few zip files from an archive. The zip files go two levels deep, and there's one file in the second archive I want to extract. Can unzip handle this or will I have to script something up? [07:00] unzip can handle [07:02] hmm... i guess i'll just stick to dsa keys, they seem to be fine [07:02] unless any ideas? [07:02] grako, just curious do you see my private messages? [07:03] i have dns problem since i install 8.04, google.com can not be resolve, and i ended up rebooting system everytime this happens [07:03] i dont think mine are sending out [07:03] sorry, yes [07:03] anyone have the same problem with 804? [07:03] i don't usually use xchat [07:03] sai: Have you seen this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+question/15743 [07:03] Sup guys. [07:03] any hints on setting up GRUB manually during an ubuntu 8.04 install>? [07:03] Anyone need some help with something ADVANCED?! [07:03] Please let me know. [07:03] how to kill firefox3? when i click on firefox, it says, it's already running [07:04] ick: killall firefox-bin [07:04] killall firefox-bin [07:04] ick: Edit your /etc/resolv.conf file? Have you tried `dig www.google.com` to check? [07:04] ick: Also then trace through using `dig +trace www.google.com` [07:05] ick: Rebooting the system is not the solution. Ubuntu is not Windows, I'm afraid. [07:05] * TheMaverick` agrees... Windows LOVES to reboot -.- [07:05] SeveredCross: ok thx [07:05] stephenishere, sorry, i'm not registered, so the server is blocking my PM [07:05] One second [07:06] @ yesudeep Thanks, i'm trying it right now [07:06] will try next time, SeveredCross when ff3 fails [07:06] ick: If your current DNS server doesn't work, try some other server. The OpenDNS servers work very well. You could try `dig @208.67.222.222 www.google.com` or `dig @4.2.2.2 www.google.com` [07:06] yesudeep: /etc/resolv.conf looks good. not i did not try dig +trace www.google [07:06] That should tell you what response you're getting from any of those servers. Use one that works. [07:06] when installing ubuntu 8.04, is manual GRUB setup in the advanced bit (just going through now) and also, is there any problems with using 1Tb HDs? [07:07] xfce log in problems, any takers/ [07:07] yesudeep: rebooting, works temporary [07:07] ick: Again, rebooting isn't the solution for the problem you're describing. Try the commands I suggested. [07:08] hi does any know how to get tapioca landell or ereseva running on hardy ?? [07:08] yesudeep: i am pretty sure it's an ubuntu thing, #1, when reboot to windows, it works, when i reboot ubuntu again, it works [07:08] yesudeep: ok [07:08] I have compiled tapioca, tapioca-pythn I think and sharps [07:08] yesudeep: i am just saying. what happens to my machine. it's an ubuntu thing [07:08] ick: Also, tell us the kind of connection you're using. Are you using pppoe? === cHeRrY_a is now known as aboed [07:08] yesudeep: works fine when i had 7.10 [07:08] Hello. I'm having a problem where ubuntu sees fit to turn on the power manager on my desktop computer (which has no battery to manage) this wouldn't bother me, but the CD drive stops working when this happens [07:09] agh, never mind, found the grub thing and just am trying again... [07:09] can someone quickly post "gcc -v" if you're using Hardy Heron !!! [07:09] yesudeep: cable modem [07:09] ick: I see. Do you have resolvconf or any resolver installed on your computer except the glibc one? [07:09] Anyone need some help with something ADVANCED?! If so please dotell. [07:09] r00tintheb0x, I need help [07:09] yesudeep: dont think so, everything is default, when i install ubuntu [07:09] When you do a standard install to a flash drive (not the live cd with a casper partition, just a regular old install like a normal hard drive install) can you take the flash drive to another computer? [07:09] yesudeep: i have /etc/resolv.conf [07:09] <^root^> Hi! i want to create an offline repository server at my campus, only available to my campus people, tell me what do i need, what type of server, what ram, what size disk, and how? [07:09] ick: Ok. Can you paste the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf file? [07:09] I would just check it myself, but I don't have another computer handy. [07:09] yesudeep: wait [07:10] phenom_: gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) [07:10] ick: dpaste.com [07:10] Grako, whatcha got? [07:10] r00tintheb0x, I installed the openssl updates, but all the new rsa keys I generate are still considered weak [07:10] phenom_: gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7) [07:11] http://rafb.net/p/eL2GRE55.html yesudeep [07:11] r00tintheb0x, they only have 65537 possible values [07:11] yesudeep: i win :P [07:11] Grako, is openssl telling you they're crappy? [07:11] r00tintheb0x, the script that checks them is [07:11] yesudeep: it's the same thing when it fails [07:11] ick: Ok. Now paste the output of `dig @192.168.0.1 www.google.com [07:11] Right. [07:11] <^root^> anyone? [07:12] r00tintheb0x, I found out when my shell provider told me I needed to update my key after I already had :-/ [07:12] ^root^: Have you considered caching packages instead? [07:12] ^root^: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocalAptGetRepository [07:12] Grako, you've got me on that one. [07:12] I dont screw w/rsa keys too much. [07:12] * Grako claps "I did it!" [07:13] http://rafb.net/p/aXuNnU39.html yesudeep [07:13] Thanks anyway for the try. [07:13] Grako: Which tool are you using to check openssl generated RSA keys? [07:13] astro76, still around? [07:13] yesudeep, ssh vulnkey, and also a script I found [07:14] ick: `dig @192.168.0.1 www.google.com` You missed www.google.com. [07:14] Grako: dowkd.pl? [07:14] yesudeep: ok [07:14] Lemme see [07:15] With intel chipsets, is dri enabled by default running ubuntu live?

[07:16] yesudeep: when it fails, i have to go to another computer and manaully, type in the ip for google.com, and it will work [07:16] ick: When you lose your connectivity run that command again.

I've managed to buy new motherboard, cpu and psu, and still had it crash (far less frequently mind you), ran a memtest, it crashed, removed a stick of RAM (which I did before buying all the stuff and it still crashed back then) and it finished a memtest easy. Stupid cursed computers... [07:17] Heh. @ JebJoya2 [07:18] hmm, just been fiddling with ffmpeg to convert my mpg to flv for embedding on my site... but I found out that audio is ignored.

But Ubuntu wont pick up my Realtek card. [07:18] Mr: How is it defined in the output of lspci?

[07:31] geck1: so you're saying i can pick any cheap dvd disk drive for writing to disk. Was the person who wrote that article too fussy? I've all noted reviews on everything are fussy and technical. [07:31] how to stop it [07:31] soreau: never touched what? [07:31] hello, all! im have problem with install updates through update-manager [07:31] lol, k, good reason [07:32] coliny yea i really don't think there is toooo much of a difference [07:32] hey guys, whats a good media stream broadcasting program? anything compatible w/ shoutcast? [07:32] vlc [07:32] coliny: That setting from clean install [07:32] except that vlc has a terrible/non-existant media library [07:32] which i really really miss from winamp [07:32] geck1: okay, sorry. maybe i'm so fussy. What setting from clean install? === r00tintheb0x is now known as DJ_Kitten_Kicker [07:32] theFATMAN: icecast [07:32] hello world! [07:32] mhz128: hi [07:33] soreau: what setting from clean install? === DJ_Kitten_Kicker is now known as r00tintheb0x [07:33] default font [07:33] magnetron: broadcasts like shoutcast? [07:33] nm [07:33] I can't change it [07:33] theFATMAN: i'm not sure, maybe [07:33] can someone tell me how to use the git-core? [07:33] i'd like to know what files change after installations and options [07:33] I'm having some trouble installing DRBD on Hardy Heron. The drbd8-module-source has been wrapped up in the linux-modules-source, but I'm not sure how to use it. Anyone with any experience on this? [07:33] I am unable to change my refresh rate beyond 50hz @ 1360*768. The monitor can display up to 60hz. How do I manually change the refresh rate? [07:33] everyone: look, this is getting very fast pace. maybe too fast pace for me. [07:34] that way i can learn to manipulate config files manually, without the need for someone to have made a GUI [07:34] magnetron, thanks, dude, i'll check it out, peace [07:34] cypha: you probably want to use cogito or similar to wrap around git [07:34] coliny: You've not even BEGUN to experience fast paced buddy. [07:34] How do I begin the glade editor from the command line ? [07:34] magnetron, can you tell me how? [07:34] !refresh rate [07:34] Factoid refresh rate not found [07:34] !refresh [07:34] Remember that every time you hit refresh, Canonical is wasting money, bandwidth, and CPU time serving your request instead of doing useful things like uploading the image or paying for ShipIt disks. Please do so sparingly. [07:34] i so far did sudo apt-get install git-core [07:35] git init . [07:35] git diff [07:35] cypha: no. there's a lot of excellent guides on git and cogito on the web and in the "man git" page [07:35] who's y? [07:35] am i dealing with a bot? [07:35] y would you think that? [07:36] coliny: Ask not who I am. [07:36] Magnetron: Meant it as a joke. [07:36] I am using Ubuntu 7.10 on booting my os, the terminal program starts automatically how to stop that [07:36] right, managed to get ubuntu up and running on my slightly broken machine, could anyone help me with graphics issues - it doesn't recognise my monitor (it did in the livecd) and i can't get a resolution above 1280x1024 [07:36] magnetron, is this a good way to learn what are the important config files and how to manually edit them? [07:36] y: are you a bot or what? [07:36] coliny: No, I am not a bot. [07:37] cypha: the config files of git? you shouldn't do that. [07:37] guess what? networking has never been my forte [07:37] OK.

[07:37] Coliny: No worries man [07:37] magnetron, i wanted to use git to see what changes in linux's config files [07:37] i thought that's what it did [07:37] Mr: What's up? [07:37] I need help gettin on my wifi. [07:37] y: Confusion about what DVD disk drive to get. http://paste.ubuntu.com/13598/ [07:37] Guys - Do not ask to ask a question or poll us. Ask your question and we'll do the best we can to answer. [07:38] cypha: there are plenty of good guides on how to use git on the git homepage. get it? [07:38] I have a realtek card integrated in my laptop. And I need help getting it to work [07:38] if i learn to manually edit the config files, i'll be able to pretty much control linux the way i'd like, no? [07:38] has anyone installed DRBD on 8.0.4 yet? [07:38] Does anyone know how I can begin using glade? I just installed it, and I can't find it anywhere on the menus, and I don't know the command line command for it. [07:39] guys, i just installed icecast, and i cant find it [07:39] :p [07:39] Mr: One moment while I help coliny [07:39] ok. [07:40] y: That's just merely sales assistance. Does it really matter specifically what DVD disk drive I get? [07:40] anyone know why the battery management would turn on on my desktop and then the CD-rom drive would stop working? [07:40] Coliny: I think any one would be ok personally. [07:40] what's CVS stand for? [07:40] Anyone else having problems with wireless networking dropping connection under load?

[07:42] /echo cypha: there's always define:cvs in www.google.com/?q=define:cvs :) [07:42] coliny: I'd go with the third option. The Asus [07:42] Anyone having problems with wireless networking dropping connection [07:43] Coliny: But any one of those should be ok. Don't hold me to that though. [07:43] Anyone know how I can start up glade through command line? [07:43] D: [07:43] hi all... it seems that our ffmpeg doesn't come configured with mp3 codecs (when trying to transcode an mpeg movie to flv and forcing it to use mp3 streams, it claims that the codec is unsupported). Any clue how to fix that? [07:43] That's the one with Lightscribe. That does not work with liber software; there is a proprietary Linux software for this - is it from Nero? [07:44] Cynewave: What kind of network are you running? (besides wireless) [07:44] Actually, I don't need Lightscribe. [07:44] right, bit of an odd one: got a LG 20" LCD monitor attached to the DVI port of my GeForce 8600GTS graphics card, and have installed the ubuntu restricted driver for the gfx card. However, when I set resolution to 1650*1080 (max of the monitor), it appears only in the middle of the screen (basically borders on the left and right to change from 16:10 to 4:3, then borders at the top and bottom to change 4:3 to 16:10). Any fixes? [07:44] y: Sorry to hold you to the stuff. Sorry. [07:44] coliny: I was speaking from personal opinion. My bad. I use lightscribe and dual layers. =P [07:45] Coliny: No worries. That one was totally my bad [07:45] i typed man git [07:45] and it seems good [07:45] y: Thanks for the info. [07:45] but how do i get to the tutorial in the notes? [07:45] in the notes section [07:45] Cruddpuppet: What is it? [07:45] basvg, try this link re codecs and conversions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 [07:45] okay, bye bye. [07:45] Any way to find out subpartition data of sda2 for instance from an dd image of sda? [07:45] hello all...weird problem [07:45] y: I've just installed Glade, for use with Python, but the problem is, I don't even know how to start up glade. [07:45] ok. Y? [07:46] I did a fresh install of hardy on my laptop, compiz works fine [07:46] Mr: One moment [07:46] ok. np. [07:46] DracoZA: wow ... um, thanks ;) [07:46] y: There are tutorials telling me how to use glade, but they all start with "open up glade" without telling me how. -.- [07:46] I did an upgrade on my desktop (including installing the configuration util) and it only works when I run the compiz command from the command line [07:46] i typed "man git" in the terminal...and at the end it says Notes ... 1) tutorial 2) Everyday GIt 3).....etc.... how do you go into them? [07:46] how do I make compiz load every time by default? [07:46] cruddpuppet, I assume you tried "glade" from a terminal :) ? [07:46] yes : ) [07:46] Cruddpuppet: The app is just "Glade"? [07:46] hehe k [07:46] right, bit of an odd one: got a LG 20" LCD monitor attached to the DVI port of my GeForce 8600GTS graphics card, and have installed the ubuntu restricted driver for the gfx card. However, when I set resolution to 1650*1080 (max of the monitor), it appears only in the middle of the screen (i.e. with big black borders at the top and bottom). Any fixes? [07:47] Mr: Try their website, download drivers? [07:47] I don't know the command. I tried typing in "glade" "Glade" "python-glade" etc, nothing works [07:47] JebJoya2, version of Ubuntu ? [07:47] well there are linux and Windows. [07:47] cruddpuppet: One sec... [07:47] DracoZA: 8.04, fresh install [07:47] So Of course. I downloaded the latest linux.

The Linux and windows. [07:54] what command can I run to get info on my DVD drive? [07:54] just to make sure I had both of them in case I needed them.

You said you downloaded both, and they're on you're desktop right? On is NET8180.INF, what is the other?

[07:59] savvaslivecd: would it be in the visual effects tab? because i dont see anything new there just none, normal, and extra [07:59] markers, select the 'Extra' option [07:59] bodsda: i did that and no change.

I can't really change jumpers on the card, this is an internal touch screen thingie and I have no manuals for it. I have tried using setserial, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe BIOS is the only option then?

[08:01] markers: then you should have compiz enabled, try move the windows a bit, for example minimize the window, it should do it in a 'graceful' manner [08:01] alguien hablas español [08:01] !es | blass [08:01] blass: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

[08:28] export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [08:28] k [08:28] Then psypher246 give me an "echo $PATH" [08:28] /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [08:28] nikoboy: no, you can't just copy the usb to make it work [08:29] okay psypher246 you say when you reboot it wipes your path out? [08:29] i'm not sure, i just thought that that is what happens [08:29] nikoboy: the usb drive has to be made bootable by using parted, and then, you need to do a bunch of things for it to work. Its easy but terribly straightforward [08:30] Okay, try rebooting then doing a "echo $PATH" as your normal user.

[09:08] Slart: where is the conky config file located? [09:08] mandrig : go to your home folder [09:09] mandrig: in your home folder.. ~/.conkyrc [09:09] Slart, thanks I will try and let you informed [09:09] xaphoo: i gave you the commands only because you asked for them. what exactly are you trying to do? :) [09:09] mandrig : ctrl + h to show hidden files [09:09] Does anyone know if DC++ is good?

[09:09] babolat: no, I didn't ask for them, you must have me confused with someone else. I asked about how to enable anti-aliasing in my nvidia and compiz setup.... which have not woked since I installed hardy [09:09] Dew420`irie: is it just like any other p2p much as amule? [09:09] Slart: Dew420`irie, .conkyrc isn't in my home folder [09:10] pr0nGuy: my computers seems to do that by default.. I don't know if there's a setting for it [09:10] Dew410`irie: nvidia-settings controls nvidia x server settings, but for some reason its anti-aliasing slider doesn't do antyhing at all [09:10] mandrig: perhaps it's created the first time conky is run? [09:10] mandrig: there might be a sample config in /etc too [09:11] pr0nGuy: you don't need a prompt. when the icon on the desktop is gone, or the device isn't in the gnome-panel anymore, then it is safe [09:11] how does one enable anti-aliasing text-only? [09:11] hmm can I manually add a device to the Fstab such as this (/dev/sdb1 * 1 12187 97892046 7 HPFS/NTFS) trying to mount it but it does not exist under fstab but comes up under fdisk -l [09:11] mandrig : it should be near the bottom, it's not in a folder [09:11] I mean what line in xorg.conf or whatever [09:11] msowders: I don't know about the * ... but yes.. you can add a line to fstab [09:12] babolat: but I don't even see the thing on my desktop even when it's mounted (maybe 'cause my desktop is so cluttered). [09:12] Dew420`irie: I know, its not in the home folder, however, I found a conky.conf in /etc/conky [09:12] hmm. [09:12] Slart, I got this info, configuration: driver=HDA Intel latency=0 module=snd_hda_intel, and Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01) [09:12] xaphoo: this may help. -->http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?s=1458306b3e214b0857a0b2dcd8d10c35&t=3756 [09:12] Slart: the * was just what I copied from fdisk -l [09:12] thanks [09:12] thanks [09:12] Im not too sure then mandrig I haven't used conky much [09:12] msowders: if you add the line you can run "sudo mount -a" to mount everything in /etc/fstab.. it will print out error messages if anything is wrong [09:12] pr0nGuy: what kind of device are you trying to mount? [09:12] Dew420`irie: Slart, Yep the /etc/conky/conky.conf is what i'm looking for [09:13] msowders: you might want to take a look at "man fstab" first.. there are some extra stuff you might need to write in the fstab [09:13] he [09:13] y [09:13] exit [09:13] Slart: ok I will take a look at that [09:13] why the sudo mdam --query --detail /dev/md0 always return active, it never indicates clean, the /dev/md0 (swap partition) it says clean [09:13] atul_: ah.. very common audio chip.. I'm surprised it didn't work out of the box.. [09:14] is there a problem with my mirroring? [09:14] pr0nGuy: If the icons are indeed missing, press Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor. Then navigate to apps/nautilus/desktop and check 'volumes visible'. [09:15] tcpdumpgod: hey soz i lost u [09:15] Anyone need help with something besides 3D effects, NVidia drivers, or crap like that?

[09:17] pr0nGuy: there's really no icon? Scroll up because I already gave you instructions :) [09:17] Slart: Dew420`irie: apparently the makers of conky changed the location of the config file to /etc/conky/conky.conf [09:17] just fyi [09:18] Slart: i didnt get u [09:18] babolat: I followed your instructions and they rock. My volumes visible is checked. [09:18] mandrig: ah.. well.. I've been keeping my own config file so I haven't noticed [09:18] mandrig, interesting I only installed conky the other day and it was in my home folder [09:18] hmm [09:18] mandrig : I may also be thinking of a different file [09:18] who knows [09:18] conky.rc or something along them lines lol [09:18] Im new to using DC++ does anyone have a good hub for me to connect to? [09:18] spsneo: I didn't understand your question "Slart: will i be install ubuntu on mac book/" .. explain a bit more [09:19] recoy, that is a bit outside the scope of this channel [09:19] recoy: there are sooo many.. and it's very offtopic in here [09:19] Slart: I believe he means will he be able to install ubuntu on a macbook [09:19] sorry? [09:19] mandrig: ah.. that makes sense.. thanks [09:19] its just i dont know anything about it [09:19] Slart: i mean will I be able to use ubuntu on apple laptop [09:19] spsneo: yes [09:19] pr0nGuy: do other media icons appear on mount. next time tell us you've executed an instruction already so we can help you further [09:19] spsneo: I don't really know..

[09:21] recoy: #ubuntu isn't a channel for "everything you don't know where to ask about".. try in #ubuntu-offtopic' [09:22] spsneo: i would recommend a Dell [09:22] spsneo: are you new to Linux? [09:22] mneptok: any reasons if u wish to enumerate [09:22] Slart: ok thanks.. i just wish u guys were not so rude about it.

[09:24] HappyHater: start at the .rar volume if there is one of those [09:24] Slart: no prob. this channel is all i got =) so apologies now i know where to ask [09:24] whats the bash command for move? is it mv? [09:24] mandrig: yes [09:24] thanks [09:24] mandrig, aye [09:24] there isn't one, it's all .rNN.. .r00-.r48 [09:25] * mneptok sighs at the mention of .rar [09:25] HappyHater: then you need to ask the person that created the archive [09:25] HappyHater: there isn't a sfv-file? [09:25] HappyHater: If you're trying a downloaded archive via bittorrent, you might want to check comments regarding the file. It might be a broken or corrupt archive.

[09:27] !repos [09:27] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [09:27] ok... its a problem with thumbnails for folders. in the new nautilus they are the SAME size as folder icons. very annoying.

[09:27] ;] [09:27] jah: you can change the repos settings using the system, administration, software sources dialog.. I don't know where the file is.. I think it's called sources.list or something like that [09:27] netron1234: you can change thumbnail preview size with gconf-editor [09:28] !burniso [09:28] To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [09:28] thanks guys ) [09:28] thanks [09:28] mneptok -> tried that in apps->nautilus -> thumbnail size... is there a "thumbnail preview" setting somewhere?

"thumbnail size" default is 96. upped it to 128, with no change. [09:30] netron1234: did you restart your GNOME session? [09:31] mneptok-> ah! no i didnt. should i? [09:31] netron1234: you'll also want to rm -r ~/.thumbnails/* [09:31] babolat: If I try to add some files when it's not mounted, will there be anything that says that it's not mounted? [09:31] mneptok -> ah . of course. thats where the thumbs are cached... [09:31] ok . will do both now.

Do you know any way to easily create multiple fixed size volumes archives with nautilus? something as simple as right click create archive? It should be used be inexperienced users, so the fewer the steps needed the better [09:36] slart: thanks, brb [09:36] Chris_M: this may shed some light -->https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-us-co/2008-March/003769.html [09:36] Hey, i got a really serious problem with a harddrive partition not showing, will anybody give it a shot? please..

I just removed the .localdomain part and then it worked again [09:38] tobil222 > try booting off a live cd. "damn small linux" might be worth a shot. only 50mb in size. [09:38] Slart, I know the problem is in the hostname but you cant edit hosts without sudo [09:38] Hey, anybod, i seriously need help. Ill pay to get help if thats necessary [09:38] Slart: Reading package lists... Done [09:38] Building dependency tree [09:38] Reading state information... Done [09:38] Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package.

[09:40] Slart: I had two machines with the same problem, one I needed to boot recovery mode, the other machine for some reason I still could use sudo even though I had the unable to resolve hostname error, couldn't work out why there was a difference though [09:40] darn.. nautilus thumbnails are stil the same darn size as folder icons... grrrr... annoying. is this some sort of new "feature"?

What can I do? [09:40] Ok... here goes.. I installed vmware to get a program running imn winxp that i needed for school. So i got everything wirkong and then i made the windows machine able to view one of 2 partitions.. That worked fine as well, but when i restarted my computer, this partition was missing..

What can I do? [09:41] tobi1222: check in vmware if the HD partition is selected/loaded [09:41] tobi1222: you defined that partition like /dev/hda1 or /dev/sdb2 [09:42] Well, i cant open vmware now, because the windowsxp file was oln this partition [09:42] DJones, I dont think theres an F2 ? didint do anything, booting from CD [09:42] gd1: there is a way to force a disk check on reboot.. a file you have to "touch" or something.. don't do it while you're running the os [09:43] gd1: look at this post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=95743 [09:43] tobi1222: and last commect with ?. because you cant trust to those device names anymore, they can change in every boot. use /dev/disk/by-uuid/ instead [09:43] netron1234: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665515 [09:43] DracoZA: Must admit I thought it was F2 as soon as the grub screen started to come up, mine are all single boot, so there was only about a 2 second pause while it waited for for it to be pressed before it booted up normally === usuario is now known as ubunTech [09:44] tobi1222: so you need edit some vmware config that points currently to wrong hd [09:44] babolat -thanks. will check that out. here's my forum post on it with screenshots http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801493 [09:44] im in /dev/disk/by-uuid now and there are 3 files [09:44] tobi1222: type ls -la there [09:44] in terminal?

[09:45] which software can view all tiff files in ubuntu [09:45] and by the way, thank you for giving it a shot.. i appreciate it === yesudeep1 is now known as yesudeep [09:46] topso when you define next time vmware to use some partition you type into that device field /dev/disk/by-uuid/8EE88C21E88C09A3 [09:46] should i post the ls -la output?

[09:49] theFATMAN: they should already be open [09:49] netron1234: i haven't tried that yet so i really wouldn't know. sorry [09:49] Please, what should i do in the by-uuid? [09:49] Ububegin: Look into Cinepaint [09:49] azureus tells me it is closed [09:49] I can see 3 files but i cant open them [09:49] tobi1222: those configs are probably in ~/.vmware [09:49] What configs?

Danke.. [09:51] What the--? I boot up today and suddenly ubuntu decides it can't use the nvidia drivers.. why? [09:51] theFATMAN: it might not be forwarded from your router.. but that is all in the azureus online help [09:51] slart-ok, so they are wide open? does ubuntu have a native firewall? [09:51] It's been working perfectly so far, since install. [09:51] tim167: boot into your BIOS. It should have a page where Power Configurations/Settings can be made. There, you can choose "Power On" "Last State" etc [09:51] I'm installing ubuntu over pxe, can I specify that I want to install the server edition? [09:52] So, ive opened up vmware now, what should i do?

[09:52] slart: is it adviseable to enable it? [09:52] (the server edition) [09:52] theFATMAN: you're probably behind a router.. you need to forward a port from the router to your computer [09:52] slart: know a good tut? [09:53] theFATMAN: not unless you need it.. which you probably don't if you're behind a router [09:53] slart: ok [09:53] babolat: thanks i'll check it out [09:53] theFATMAN: check the azureus help..

[10:13] :desperate: [10:13] * Dew420 is not an expert :P [10:13] jorje_villafan: recovery menu? on grub there is an entry to boot into recovery mode (root without gui) so you can edit fstab to fix the thing up [10:14] I'm wondering how anyone get's anywhere with so many people talking at once. [10:14] gdl didn't they kinda work everything out in the open intel drivers? [10:14] gdl and isn't intel opening their drivers?

[10:15] Dew420 and Slart: Thanks for the tip, but I have no one to specifically talk to, as I need help and have no idea who to ask. *shrugs* [10:15] jorje_villafan: nano is a text mode editor. "nano /etc/fstab" and fix the fstab [10:15] Krepta : state your question and smeone who thinks they can help will answer [10:16] state your problem even hah [10:16] Ah [10:16] hi [10:16] hi [10:17] ubuntu doesent start, i got [10:17] ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/bc258c01-8313-4739-8e11-0bef..... does not exist.

[10:19] Krepta: check the syslog (tail /var/log/syslog) , kernel log (tail /var/log/kern.log) for any error messages. [10:19] p1tt1 : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=430123 see if that helps [10:20] Krepta: tail only shows the last 10 lines or so.. you can set this by using tail -n 20 to get the 20 last lines.. [10:20] Slart : you know too much! ahhh :P [10:21] Slart: No errors listed, not surprising since the computer halts, no hard drive activity, nothing, just two blinking lights.

I was able to login using the safe mode command line and was able to change it but then it said I didn't have the permissions right, I might have messed with changed a permission. Sorry for not being more clear earlier [10:23] SilverMx: huh? I don't know exactly what you want, but, hardware information is easy to find for me, let me see, I'll tell you once I refresh my memory [10:23] Thanks Slart : and Krepta [10:23] Krepta: where that menu? for see what hardware u have [10:23] jorje_villafan: well in recovery mode you should have all the permisions ... but do "sudo nano /etc/fstab" if you like [10:24] Krepta: check the forums if anyone else has the same laptop/wireless card.. apart from that.. well.. it's hard to troubleshoot without any kind of error message.. especially with wifi drivers [10:24] mrynit: use apt-cache policy packagename [10:24] hello... [10:25] SilverMx : system > admin > system monitor for a brief overview of your hardware [10:25] Slart: thanks, but, the forum refuses to allow me to post [10:25] And I do mean brief :P [10:25] this is off topic but is anyone in here french?

I then added the the line to fstab and saved. then restarted with the an error message stating that I needed to change /home permissions to 644. i logged back in with the safe terminal mode I checked to see if my new home partition was recognized, which it was. then I went to change permissions in my home folder, I changed [10:45] the file access to rw and when I clicked apply to everything inside the permission went back to -- . So being lamo that I am I check the / permissions I don't think I changed anything there, but it was after that that I couldn't log back in, so I must have done something.

[10:50] first time in IRC pls help [10:50] Krepta, the winamp-like app at the moment is Audacious (not audacity as stated by someone) [10:50] cypha: just enter "gconf-editor" [10:50] vemon: Er, that was me.

That'd be a good starting point to get me back in shape [11:09] so basically ZSNES is broken in Ubuntu... very reassuring [11:09] * psilo has played netplay on zsnes in ubu [11:10] why is their no md5sum for the fellowing http://pastebin.com/m35a0a839 [11:10] I have a sound blaster live [11:10] shoudl workw fine [11:10] seanj: gotta use an older one though, 1.42n as I recall. [11:10] ugh [11:10] how on earth woudl i install an older versin [11:10] !patience | seanj [11:10] seanj: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [11:10] debian 4 seam to have the same problem as ubuntu current stable 8.0.4 [11:10] seanj: yes [11:10] I have been trying out everything out to get my wifi up but couldn't. using compaq nx6310 with Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI + ubuntu 8.04. every possible cmd is fetching me correct result except one qvantel@QSSLP003:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces... RTNETLINK answers: No such process http://pastebin.com/m3b6021f3 [11:10] so Ubuntu ships with a broken one,t hat's great [11:10] seanj: it is possible to compile it yourself... i know it's not the ubuntu way [11:11] You have to google for the old zsnes and compile it, that's all. it's not ubuntu's fault so much as zsnes', I think. [11:11] well someone maintines it [11:11] maintains [11:11] would thikn it would work [11:11] How about that groups output, anybody? [11:11] I'd say that's the maintainer's fault [11:11] so that would go back to Debian, ya? [11:11] Is this the right place for laptop enquires? [11:12] nope [11:12] seanj, depends. if the package version ends with 0-ubuntuN, then the maintainer is in ubuntu, otherwise (1-ubuntuN 2-ubuntuN ...) the package is from debian [11:13] it's debian [11:13] interesting vemon [11:13] i wish it all workefd... i just ran away from Windows just to slam up against this problem [11:13] ok thanks. can you tell me how to get to the right place [11:13] it's not lik ei want to play Doom 3..just some emulated games [11:13] pretty sad [11:14] ubuntu is based off of debian's package system [11:14] seanj: there will be many more, linux is not totally plug-and-play, even ubuntu [11:14] can anyone point me to a good intro to blackbox for a total newb [11:14] I know, fdsss [11:14] yeah I see that psilo [11:14] sad but true [11:14] blackbox is cool [11:14] me being a gamer is the only reason that I dual-boot between Ubuntu and XP.. lol [11:15] not readty for a user like me [11:15] you should also try fluxbox [11:15] Any 7.10 users? Please paste me the output of `groups`! It's very easy and I'd appreciate it :) [11:15] no doubt rrohde_ [11:15] Is there an option for "time stretch" in totem or other media players other than the MythTV front end? (especially ones that are cross-platform, windows/linux/mac OsX) [11:15] I am using 8.0.4 [11:15] i cant even figure out blackbox fdsss [11:15] seanj: the scary part is that I don't see myself *not* play games in the next 30 years or so.. pretty sad :) [11:15] fdsss, how do i configure it [11:16] can you run me through a setup [11:16] I just play around with it until I got it [11:16] fdsss: you know what, that'll work too, would you please? [11:16] i have no idea where to start [11:16] wifi trouble with Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI please checkout http://pastebin.com/m3b6021f3 [11:16] i've been reading the faq but its pretty vague [11:17] i'm having trouble with broadcom [11:17] with wireless networking [11:17] yep [11:17] cypha: everyone has trouble with broadcom! :D really, they are not that good [11:17] how to get it working [11:17] lol, i know, it came with my hp [11:17] for bbconf when i run ./configure i get checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! [11:17] i have the 4322 [11:17] 4322AG [11:17] right [11:18] maybe with WINE I can run Windows version of ZSNEs [11:18] cypha: did you run the driver manager? [11:18] yes [11:18] johnny: blackbox uses the right click to open up applications [11:18] i apt-get installed linux-restricted-modules-generic [11:18] cypha: but did you run the driver manager? [11:18] is there any way to get totem to play videos or audio at a faster tempo (i.e. "time stretched")? [11:18] theres nothing but xterm restart and exit in mine fdsss [11:18] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic <--- didn't exist [11:18] flipper1: not sure about totem, but mplayer will. [11:18] cypha: but did you run the driver manager?! [11:19] what's the driver manager? [11:19] i thought that was it [11:19] hmm.. okay how about this :) i want to save and restore iptables rules when I shutdown and boot up. How do I do that if I do not have /etc/network/interfaces.template? /etc/network/interfaces says not to edit itself because it's autogenerated. [11:19] mmm, I'll check that out, thanks psilo [11:19] flipper1: in the manpage, see the -ffactor option. [11:19] johnny: so pretty much every thing you access in blackbox is through the right click menu [11:19] cypha: i take that as a "no". in system > administration, there's the hardware drivers guide. [11:19] yes [11:19] theres nothing but xterm restart and exit in mine fdsss [11:19] it's not listed in there [11:20] oh [11:20] cypha: maybe it's because you installed modules manually. [11:20] in the help file [11:20] johnny: which version of ubuntu are you using? [11:20] gutsy [11:20] how would i have installed it automatically? [11:20] but theres never been anything there [11:20] cypha: by running the driver manager! [11:20] I have no idea [11:20] ohhh [11:21] synaptic [11:21] ... [11:21] ramontayag: put whatever you want in your init scripts for runlevels 0 (shutdown) and 4 (multi-user boot), iirc. [11:21] can you pastebin your .blackboxrc fdsss [11:21] I never used blackbox in ubuntu before [11:21] or not? [11:21] and how do i install things [11:21] no. the hardware drivers guide, cypha [11:22] cypha: you should have run that. without installing random packages manually. [11:22] the hardware drivers guide is in the help file? [11:22] I am not currently using blackbox [11:22] cypha: no [11:22] I like fluxbox better then blackbox [11:22] cypha: in system > administration [11:22] checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! [11:22] fluxbox is based off of blackbox [11:22] what do i do to fix that? [11:22] and go to "Hardware Drivers" ? [11:22] cypha: YES! [11:22] <[BTF]Jehar> Hey, I was wondering if I could make a desktop link in gnome that didn't have an icon, but just text. [11:22] then what [11:23] I have no idea [11:23] there is nothing there but my nvidia [11:23] <[BTF]Jehar> Or the text to the side of the icon, perhaps. [11:23] I am not a linux know it all [11:23] cypha: then you shouldn't have instaled the kernel modules package [11:23] If I delete items using gksudo nautilus they dont end up in my trash, my trash is empty but the disk space is still being used ? [11:23] Oh yeah. is there a way to change the color of the text under an icon? [11:23] is that the linux-restricted-modules-generic ? [11:23] =kernel modules package? [11:23] cypha: hmhm [11:24] oh [11:24] cypha: yes. [11:24] sorry [11:24] BTF Jehar : try using special symbols if you want to get rid of the text completely, some of them will show nothing [11:24] i was following the guide [11:24] what should i do? [11:24] cypha: which guide? [11:24] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM43xx_(all,_ndiswrapper/firmware)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice) [11:24] is there a way I could make the windows that I move transparent? [11:24] I'm using Compiz-Fusion [11:25] DracoZA: if the files are opened by any other process they will not be deleted until closed [11:25] <[BTF]Jehar> Dew420: Actually, it's just the opposite that I want. [11:25] psilo I have restarted [11:25] <[BTF]Jehar> Text without the icon. [11:25] Ah [11:25] johnny_: what I would do is just uninstall blackbox then reinstall it and see if that fixes the problem [11:25] DracoZA: hm, updatedb && slocate 'one of the files you deleted' [11:25] cypha: did you finally run the "restricted driver manager", as that guide tells you to do? [11:25] there is no problem [11:25] DracoZA: figure out where they're hiding, which might tell you what's going on [11:25] it needs to be configured [11:26] i dont know how , im new [11:26] psilo, okie dokie [11:26] Does run level 2 include networking? [11:26] i asked if any one knew a really good guide for newbs [11:26] magnetron: iam using hardy and finding trouble with wifi Broadcom http://pastebin.com/m3b6021f3 [11:26] when I used blackbox it did not need to be configured [11:26] ranit: then ask the channel [11:26] I have just "sudo adduser psilo " for several groups. None of them are in my `groups` output. What gives? [11:26] I did update-rc.d service defaults and I see it adds the service to runlevel 2 [11:26] isn't that the Hardware Drivers in System>Administration? [11:26] ubu's group management seems sketchy. I did 'usermod -G group psilo' and lost my sudo ability. heh [11:27] cypha: yes. [11:27] i'm in there [11:27] it's not listed [11:27] so, "yes" then [11:27] yeah [11:27] btw [11:27] you see how it says to get a second file? [11:28] that file is old now, being that this was written for gutsy [11:28] fire fox is taking a really long time to scroll down [11:28] all the sudden , why? [11:28] cypha: that guide is old and not adapted for hardy [11:28] so i looked in the the synaptic thing, and searched for restricted [11:28] or linux-restricted actually [11:28] is there a compiz irc channel? [11:28] mmm, mplayer doesn't seem to have any gui options to speed up playback. Going to check a few other players. [11:28] johnny_: cause FF is a beast? :) That is often due mainly to flash in the page. [11:28] and it turned up a newer one [11:28] actualy, a few of them, and i didn't know which to get [11:28] maybe you can tell me? [11:28] flipper1: gmplayer should take the same options [11:28] Ontolog: I don't know a good tool to check run levels. In Red Hat world you can use chkconfig for this i think. I can only guide you to look in /etc/rcX.d [11:29] and then it'll show up in the restricted drivers list [11:29] there is no flash open psilo [11:29] gak, I tried a whole day to get compiz to work with an old ATI Mobility 7000 card. neat stuff though [11:29] just two pages and both are all txt [11:29] johnny: I noticed if I change my useragent that does not happen any more on flash based websites [11:29] Blinkiz: oh the tool is update-rc.d but I'm just curious about what if networking support is available in rc2; i guess i should just look haha [11:29] how can i fix it psilo [11:29] hi,. [11:29] where are the sounds file of pidgin located? [11:29] if it is a flash problem [11:30] how to install "ubuntu server 64bit" to RAID-0? [11:30] johnny_: flash ads can drag FF down, I use a flash block extension. For casual browsing though, I just use Opera, it's much faster. [11:30] any slackware users in here [11:30] fdsss: former, yes :) [11:30] after tonight's "usermod" fiasco I'm nearly considering going back. [11:31] * psilo jokes. [11:31] slackware is at version 12.1 now [11:31] well nice, windows version of ZSNES works fine with WINE, ... native version is FUBAR. very encouraing [11:31] encouraging [11:31] last I used was 12.0, just a few months ago [11:31] well, I hope I don't crash... I've finished installing the new wifi drivers and stuff [11:31] node357 : there have been reported bugs with pulseaudio that could be causing the no-sound [11:32] PART [11:32] can anyone tell me, how to install "ubuntu server 64bit" to RAID-0 on mainboard?, I can't becase it can see 2 harddisks... [11:32] Dew420, that's good to know. I wish I knew more about pulseaudio, maybe I could fix the problem [11:32] can someone help me add a google calender to evolution? [11:32] see anything good magnetron? [11:33] see anything good magnetron ? [11:33] can someone help me with the ubuntu file system [11:34] Ontolog: I have found a tool to manage run levels. apt-get install sysvconfig. [11:35] is the gnome-network-manager buggy in hardy ? I can't get the VPN options in the expected system tray (nm-applet) even after installing required plugins anyone have an idea? [11:36] Ontolog: You also have the program sysv-rc-config [11:36] Blinkiz: thanks man but I think update-rc.d will do the trick and is the standard ubuntu way [11:36] I have 2 disks one 40 gig with the ubuntu installed and the swap file and a 320 gig one that I want to use for media, but I canf find the 320 gig drive [11:36] Ontolog: I thought you where looking for when networking was started? [11:37] Blinkiz: I just found this article on run levels on Debian/Ubuntu: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html [11:38] Blinkiz: It seems everything is started in run level 2 on this system [11:38] Ontolog: yeah [11:38] Ontolog: Didn't know that [11:39] can someone tell me which linux-restricted-modules-generic i should download in synaptic so i can see the restricted driver listed in the hardware drivers list? [11:40] i'm following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM43xx_(all,_ndiswrapper/firmware)?highlight=(WifiDocs%2FDevice) [11:40] but it's a bit outdated [11:40] hi all [11:40] anyone with any help [11:41] Blinkiz: I believe redhat (used to at least) load the graphical environment at runlevel 5, and networking stuff was loaded at run level 3. I believe the run levels were cascading but it seems run levels are not cascading on ubuntu. [11:41] how can i test ubuntu to see if my gfx card is working correctly? (or something like that :ppPpP) [11:41] Ontolog: yes, its like that [11:41] db92: What graphic card do you have?

[11:43] emma: i think it is a common ubuntu-task [11:43] db92: Then I don't know. Don't you have a management gui that can tell you that? Like ati-config but like a gui?

[11:43] how would i access my haddrive folder (through my livecd) with root permission? [11:43] Blinkiz: i mean something like an efficiency test, not what im told [11:43] The bcm43xx driver has full support of the Linux Wireless Extensions and therefore should use wpa_supplicant via the wext driver interface [11:43] any ideas? [11:43] i need to install the latest one in order to support the GPU 9600 [11:43] i have no idea what that means [11:44] Blinkiz: it has a control center by itself but i want to see how well it does in the act :P [11:44] HELP_: what is the problem. Are you having trouble mounting the drive ? [11:44] ikonia: I can mount the drive, but some files in there say i don't have permission to access them [11:44] HELP_: is this on a Fat file system or NTFS ? [11:44] ikonia: Im not sure, i think its Fat [11:45] but i need to reinstall the drivers after a reboot, coz of a mismatch..

[11:45] db92: Well, you have a useless program with the name xengine that can do some benchmarking :-P [11:45] roooofl [11:45] kk [11:45] eisenhower: try escaping it.. instead of '(', write '\(' [11:46] HELP_: ok, thats quite common for fat, you need to either a.) mount it with the permissions of the user you want to use as fat has no permissions on the file system, you can do this with -o user=$username as a mount option, or b.) launch nautilus with root permissions with gksudo nautilus [11:46] eisenhower: same with ')' [11:46] hi [11:46] That did the trick [11:46] eisenhower: or set the whole path under " and " [11:46] thanks slart [11:46] eisenhower: I think putting the folder name in quotes works too [11:46] quotes work to? [11:46] mhmm. didn't know that. ty [11:46] Blinkiz: it just gives me mass reports about somethings rotations per minute :P [11:46] eisenhower: you're welcome [11:46] magnetron, i really appreciate all the help you've given, and even digging up that site...but i'm honestly still a bit confused as to what to do [11:46] hi [11:47] what is your name [11:47] ikonia: hwo would i mount it with permissions of the user? [11:47] HELP_: use mount -o user [11:47] be-net: do you have an ubuntu related question? [11:47] first of all, should i be uninstalling the kernel things that i got? [11:47] db92: yeah, isn't it useless? :-D [11:47] HELP_: more details available with man mount [11:47] eisenhower: you can also use the tab key to autocomplete the path for you, once you've started typing the path (and have it auto-escape all special chars) [11:47] db92: See the game http://alientrap.org/nexuiz/ for some action! [11:48] db92: it runs without problem on my ubuntu. [11:48] ikonia: whats a man mount?, the problem with my harddrive is that i accidently removed libgtk2.0 [11:48] Blinkiz: yes, the issue is doing something like a real benchmark on the card, that should be somewhat lightweight :P [11:48] hello all [11:48] HELP_: how is a lake of libgtk a problem with your hard drive ? [11:49] HELP_: sorry a "lack" not lake [11:49] is it possible to update from Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04 using the Ubuntu 8.04 CD ? [11:49] Hey.. i installed ubuntu7.10, and each application involving sound gets stuck.. i didnt have this problem when i installed 7.10 2 month's ago.. now its a pretty fresh installation..any ideas of how to solve this? [11:49] db92: What should you compare against really? The best thing is to use a game for linux. See some cool effects. See a game list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_games [11:49] Chris_M: the tab thing totally didn't work. lOl [11:49] ikonia: its broken the ubuntu desktop, and i can't access gnome. all the repositorys seem to be broken, i can't reinstall or install anything :s [11:49] cypha: you need to install the bcm43xx-fwcutter package and run it [11:50] HELP_: ok, so you can't access the desktop, so what is your current status, are you stuck in a shell ? [11:50] wathek: yes, although you may have a problem if you have more installed than the default software (you have to add the CD as a repository in your /etc/apt/sources.list although it may do it automatically these days) [11:50] HELP_: how (what command) did you do to remove libgtk [11:50] should i uninstall the other stuff? [11:50] or the 1 other thing, rather [11:50] the restricted driver i installed [11:50] Ademan, ah cool [11:50] wathek: but if you have access to the internet AND the CD, i think it will let you do both, although considering most of the packages on the CD are probably outdated anyways... [11:50] Ademan, yes that's what I'm gonna do [11:50] ikonia: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801392 [11:51] cypha: i don't really know how the package you installed affects this [11:51] eisenhower: well it can be that there are similar paths and you have to hit tab twice to show them [11:51] so then maybe i should just uninstall it [11:51] Ademan, what should I add to the source.list ? [11:51] can anyone name some text editors/IDEs with vi/vim emulation? I love VIM but i'd rather use a full fledged IDE, i just can't edit without :w scattered all throughought my text :-p [11:51] how come no geek created a tray plugin for thunderbird. makes no sense to me. thunderbird is extremely popular,and there is a tray plugin for windows. how come linux donr have such a plugin? [11:51] eisenhower: then you'd have to give it more characters until it knows which one to choose :) [11:51] how should i uninstall it? [11:51] (ie. which type of uninstall) [11:52] HELP_: ok, that makes sense [11:52] wathek: well have you tried just inserting the CD ? because i remember a popup saying "this cd has a software repository on it do you wish to add it?" or something like that [11:52] eisenhower: you can also complete commands that way, try rmd for example to complete to rmdir [11:52] HELP_: what was the .deb package you tried to install ? [11:52] Ademan, euh let me try [11:52] Chris_M: yea i guess it does work. I had to restart terminal [11:52] Chris_M: is there a way to get it to complete filenames too? [11:53] ikonia: well, i was trying to install gnome globlemenu [11:53] HELP_: ok, so are you on a livecd now, or the broken install ?

[11:53] wathek: i'm going to sleep though, good luck [11:54] Ademan, ok thanx a lot [11:54] ikonia: the deb that broke it all was libgtk2.0-common_2.12.0-1ubuntu3.1._all.deb [11:54] HELP_: ok, that make sense [11:54] ikonia: yeah i can boot into recovery mode, but last time i think it didn't work :S [11:54] ikonia: i can try again though [11:54] HELP_: recover mode didn't work? [11:54] HELP_: in what way ? [11:54] HELP_: you should just get a command prompt in a recovery shell [11:54] eisenhower: should work out of the box. did you try twice? [11:55] oh the tab worked but only with directories. not with files [11:55] magnetron, what would be the proper way to uninstall the restricted drivers i installed? [11:55] ikonia: ok, so to get into grub recovry, i just press ESC whilst its loading, then go down to recovery mode and press 'b' to boot? [11:55] HELP_: there should be an option that says "Recovery Mode" [11:55] HELP_: that should boot you into a shell [11:56] is that from the LiveCD [11:56] HELP_: no [11:56] HELP_: from your normal install [11:56] so the install disk [11:56] HELP_: the hard disk your ubuntu OS is installed to [11:56] hey guys, does anyone else also have horrendous picture quality in FF3 on hardy. most sites i go to just looks terrible [11:56] Well thank you for all your help, cya [11:57] can anyone tell me, how to install "ubuntu server 64bit" to RAID-0 on mainboard?, I can't becase it can see 2 harddisks...

[14:12] NetTroller, have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527488 [14:12] not encrypted ..open [14:12] NetTroller since it was installed once. the debs should be in var/cache/apt/archives nm should still be there [14:13] hi people. how would i go about converting a .mdf/.mds CD image file into ISO on ubuntu gutsy? [14:13] NetTroller: you can use then iwconfig wlan0 ssid "yourid" [14:13] or such [14:13] man iwconfig [14:13] how do i put computer and trash launcher on my desktop ? i don't want it on panel [14:13] !info mdf2iso | Sinnerman [14:13] sinnerman: mdf2iso (source: mdf2iso): A simple utility to convert mdf to iso / cue / toc images.

What is better, installing the nvidia from restricted drivers, or installing envyNG which comes up in the hardy package manager and let it install the card? I have a nvidia 8500 gt. [14:13] Pici: thank you. [14:13] Jack_Sparrow I thought so too..but I must have really messed it up..it wanted to go online again [14:13] Sinnerman, have you tried opening it in brasero? [14:13] it should allow you to connect, when you are, use dhclient [14:14] Sinnerman, the fuseiso tool I belve can mount/access those. Check its website. and the fuse website for info on using fuse.

Dr_willis i will check that out - that would save me some overhead. [14:14] so I'm guessing everybody used the network-manager..there isn't anything better ? [14:15] joaopinto: does the restricted drivers utilize all the capabilities of the card? [14:15] anybody have a sec to help me with a raid question? [14:15] nope, nm is fine when you know how to use it [14:15] Sinnerman, I have moved all my images to ISO. I feel your pain... [14:15] Sinnerman, i recall the fuseiso site saying it could handle .nrg and other formats.. perhaps it cant do them all.

[14:16] i'm running ubuntu 8.04. i've inserted 2 500GB drives and i want to run them in raid 1, but ubuntu sees both drives even though i've configured them in raid 1 during statup. they're connected to a hardware raid controller [14:16] netron1234: maybe not everyone has crappy fonts [14:16] netron1234, I have already created a bug report for it, it is not a generic issue, it just affects a few people [14:17] bogey- yep...figured that..but I'm just new ..and read peeps used RutilT ..and with aircrack..it didn't like the nevermind ..so wondered what everybody used instead [14:17] netron1234: Can you be more specific? [14:17] any ideas of how to make ubuntu see them as a raid pair? [14:17] bogey- yep...figured that..but I'm just new ..and read peeps used RutilT ..and with aircrack..it didn't like the n m ..so wondered what everybody used instead [14:17] jjoaopinto: are there any pro's or con's to installing the restricted drivers? [14:17] NetTroller, I use WICD on my laptop [14:17] sorry..have an acro running [14:17] joaopinto -> thats odd.. because i did a FRESH install on a desktop here and i got the same crap fonts issue. [14:17] if it's the same problem as mine, the firefox fonts look terribely bad, on some sites almost unreadable [14:17] nickleus, is that frustrating?

[14:18] so it didn't got much attention [14:18] FastZ well now I know how to stop the n m ...I'm game to try other alternatives..this reinstalling everytime is a pain [14:18] my hardy at work and at home both don't have font issues, either.. ?!

[14:35] bazhang: I wanted to see if the one worked better than the other [14:35] bazhang: I was wondering if envyNG did a better job? because it downloads and installs extra package! [14:36] European-African, depending on more packages does not means it provides more functionality ! [14:36] European-African, no means of comparing here as I only use the one. [14:36] joaopinto: then what are the extra packages for? [14:36] probably they are required to build the module for your kernel version [14:36] holly... [14:37] the extra packages are not driver functions [14:37] openssh-client and -server have upgrades for dapper [14:37] why? it is safe to upgrade? [14:37] ok [14:37] European-African, like I said you several minutes before, the restricted driver is the more stable, while envy is the latest [14:37] ok [14:37] if the restricted driver works fine for you, then you should keep it [14:38] well I dont mind if it is the latest [14:38] envyng is now into the restricted-modules iirc [14:38] bazhang: yes that is right [14:38] How do i take screenshots of dualscreen with Gnome ? Using Nvidia Xinerama [14:39] bazhang: that is why I wondered what to install! [14:39] cromag , print screen ? [14:39] m1r: only one screen captured. [14:39] or aplications -> take screenshot ? [14:39] Quick but stupid question: i just installed ubuntu and luckily it was a Side-by-side with Windows (on a seperate drive) otherwise i'd be screwed right now.

[14:43] FastZ just been reading forums..this WICD looks great..can't wait to try it...thanks again [14:43] CK-TECH, had the same problem myself.. it has to do with the assistive technology. you might want to go to System/Preferances/Assistive Tech and turn off the option that makes the numeric keypad a cursor. [14:43] Vedalken: ummm..?? [14:43] can i please get some help with setting up broadcom? [14:43] screenlets version from getdeb is 0.1.1, in the repos is 0.0.12 so the getdeb version is newer [14:43] Vedalken: so which one dosent work ubuntu or windows ? [14:43] i've really had a lot of trouble withthis [14:43] Simplexio: Ubuntu [14:43] and had various sources of help [14:43] but if someone can really just see me through to the end [14:43] i'd be ever so grateful [14:43] Vedalken: so you have grub there.. [14:43] I was trying out the ubuntu minimal cd, and it had a nice menu after the base install. it gave options such as gnome-destop, kubuntu-kde4, openSSH, samba server, etc... Could the ubuntu team give this same capabilities, but instead of getting it of the net get it of a dvd? [14:44] or is there already a dvd that does this? [14:44] Vedalken: ... actually. when grub start you select rescue mode kernel [14:44] European-African, all of those options can be performed with a single command [14:44] m1r: http://peecee.dk/upload/view/115207 [14:44] Vedalken: that should work too [14:45] regardless of the install medi you use [14:45] m1r: on the right there should be a terminal window with irssi hehe [14:45] Simplexio: I only get the default (aka windows) boot module. I haven't noticed grub. [14:45] joaopinto: yes but it still gets it from the net! [14:45] Cromag: 1 min [14:46] European-African, if you get a cd/dvd, no, it does not, it will only get it form the net if it's an update [14:46] or, if the package is not available from it [14:46]  I'm starting to learn how to build packages, and I was wondering if there's a streamlined method for determining dependencies if I'm downloading source that's not in the repos?

[16:32] Ish_nitti: you said the volume icon disappeard from your task bar... [16:32] jonaskoelker: correct [16:32] ok, I can't find anything that causes the random crashes, but since it's or a freeze or a crash where my LCD just turns itself off I'm thinking it's the GFX driver [16:32] i have a wireless isuue [16:32] jonaskoelker http://packages.ubuntu.com/sv/hardy/x11/uim-xim is this what you need?

[16:34] jonaskoelker: oh wait, so the volume applet thats on the gnome panel isnt part of my taskbar... [16:34] not a broadcom card?

[16:35] jonaskoelker, aren't .avi files supposed to run on vlc automatically? [16:35] mhmmm [16:35] ubottu: are you really a bot?

[16:38] jonaskoelker: was missing the python-alsaaudio package for the awn volume manager applet! [16:38] because my laptop is dualbooted between ubuntu and slackware [16:38] jonaskoelker: doh!

[16:39] someone talking about a harddrive error i head on the forums, something about ubuntu not communicating with the harddrive [16:39] Does the restricted hardware manager install the xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd driver or do I have to go into apt and install that myself? [16:39] dafdaf It is more stable. But no OS can take into account everything a user can do to mess it up [16:39] robin different things everytime, it just crashes [16:39] i enabled big desktop in ati catalyst control center, and have removed my second monitor and tried to disable big monitor support, but i can't get things back to normal. when I try to configure screen resolution, for example, it still is configured to "clone output". compiz fusion doesn't work either now [16:39] Same here [16:39] how can I disable this completely? [16:39] it crashes like 10 times in a couple of hours [16:39] IdleOne, you're not gonna like this but https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/186666 [16:40] Launchpad bug 186666 in linux "Hardy cannot recognize sis191 network adaptor" [Medium,Fix released] [16:40] And I'm pretty sure it's not me that is causing them, because on ubuntu 7.10 or any other ubuntu it works without any problems [16:40] dafdaf instead of these vague statements, can you ask a specific question... or point to a link. [16:40] I have a machine I dual boot but here recently I have been having to reset the bios between boots otherwise my multipliers are on my processor are getting set back taking me from 2GHZ to 1.. anyone know why? [16:40] dafdaf, does it crash if you boot into safe mode? [16:40] unr3a1: well, either consult the slackware people, ask it's a part of their system, or man lilo [16:41] IdleOne: i'm thinking you have to install that driver from source, but i'm no expert on the subject [16:41] Sauerhead: sounds like a bios issue, not ubuntu. i would flash to the most recent BIOS [16:41] Sauerhead, ubuntu doesn't touch the bios [16:41] Safe mode? you mean like recovery mode, [16:41] Jack_Sparrow, well my ubuntu crashes all the time, i havent tryed safe mode, i can run it for like a couple of hours, but then when i suddenly open a program everything crashes [16:41] different programs crash it everytime [16:41] Sauerhead: Have you asked in ##hardware ? [16:41] Vlet, the reason I have lilo installed is because my laptop is dual booted between slackware and ubuntu. I need to add a line to the kernel boot parameters, but I don't know where to do that in lilo [16:41] so no apparent connection in programs [16:41] vlet, alrgiht [16:41] I have the most recent bios [16:41] unr3a1, sudo updatedb && sudo locate lilo [16:41] but yeah I knew it wasn't a debian/ubuntu issue [16:41] unr3a1: gksudo gedit /etc/lilo.conf [16:41] will Heron run good on an 735.54MHz pentium 3 [16:42] could be x moto, tvtime, mozilla [16:42] dafdaf is this a fresh hardy install or what version/release [16:42] just can't seem to figure it out is all [16:42] unr3a1: if I had to guess, it's /boot/lilo/something.config [16:42] Sauerhead, your cmos battery is probly dead so its losing the bios. [16:42] You have a different problem then I have I think, here it really just RANDOMLY crashes ... When I'm listening music, browsing a website, jsut all of a sudden my monitor goes in standby OR my desktop freezes [16:42] Sauerhead: Its offtopic for here, sorry. [16:42] Jack_Sparrow, its a fresh install on a full harddrive, newest version from ubuntu [16:42] dafdaf: try dumping dmesg to syslog to see if the kernel logger's giving you any useful information [16:42] dafdaf please run this in a term. sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [16:42] no I tried replacing that as well [16:42] but yes I'm OT sorry [16:42] legend2440, thank you [16:42] okay to secs [16:42] hwilde yeah I saw that bug but says there is a fix released. just wondering if the fix was added to hardy [16:43] dafdaf: have you installed lmsensors or anything to monitor your CPU temperature? [16:43] garrett__, no [16:43] i enabled big desktop in ati catalyst control center, and have removed my second monitor and tried to disable big monitor support, but i can't get things back to normal. when I try to configure screen resolution, for example, it still is configured to "clone output". compiz fusion doesn't work either now.

[17:07] ya [17:08] i rebuilt ffmpeg with some additional codecs enabled, but update-manager immediately began pushing me to update to the version from the repositories. how can i instruct apt to prioritize these locally created packages over the ones in the repository, so that dist-upgrades won't remove mine? [17:08] I have a media key set to open my home directory (set the shortcut via System >Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts).... but now I want to set pcmanfm as my default file manager when I press this button... is there a way to do that?

You can manage the chmod permissions from there [17:14] xorand: probably, but learning how chmod's a good idea. [17:14] hello, i need help changing my desktop effects settings with the console [17:14] does anyone here have any experience doing dual monitors with compiz?

I was switching back and forth between it and console screens.. and just now I switched back to see it "fade out" / fade to black.. no keyboard or mouse movement is waking it up.. any suggestions? Thanks.. (8.04) [17:14] xorand: er, learning chmod is a good idea, as you're going to wind up setting permissions in configurations all over the place [17:14] picci:then? [17:15] i have linux box that is inaccessible because the graphics card can't handle desktop effects [17:15] garrett__, that's extra brain space i could use elsewhere ;p [17:15] rat: It uses the words after the url to determine which folders (distributions) to get packages from. [17:15] jwm: ctrl+alt+f4 or f5 will give you a console [17:16] garret thanks but i need to modify the config dile that controls desktop effects and have no idea where to look for that [17:16] pici:yes they do that but all the packages they download is in the same folder either it for gutsy,hardy [17:16] config file [17:16] it would be easier if root could login from the login window. is there no way for root to login like a user? [17:16] switchcat: there is a bug in some nvidia drivers what makes similar things... e.g geforce 6200... I ran across this too, but there wasn't any solution [17:17] when using dig command, what file does it use to find the name servers ?

[17:19] ok [17:19] thx for your answers! :D [17:19] can anyone help me with fluxbox? [17:19] it seems i can pin my locally rebuilt ffmpeg packages in APT if i can just override the Origin: line in the package info. does anyone know where i can set this when i build the deb packageS? [17:19] jwm: yeah [17:19] how can i view the packages install on the OS ? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [17:19] jwm: then ctrl+alt+bksp your X session [17:19] jwm: or just move your compiz binaries :P [17:19] mod_cure: synaptic package manager [17:20] mod_cure: sort by "installed" [17:20] pl [17:20] ok [17:20] garrett__: i actually love just moving or deleting the compiz binaries [17:20] mod_cure: or dpkg -L on the cli [17:20] garrett__: but where do i find them? [17:20] lol [17:20] jwm: type "which compiz" [17:20] garrett__: ok [17:21] jwm: /usr/bin/compiz by default on 8.04 [17:21] garrett__: i'll work on this on my other machine for a few minutes [17:21] Pici, how can i view all the packages aviable without going out to the web ? can i view them on OS ? [17:21] anyone had any luck configuring tacacs+ un 8.04? [17:21] garrett__: thanks [17:21] jwm: no problem [17:21] jwm: or you could probably just remove the compiz package [17:21] mod_cure: apt-cache search will search the indexes that you have already downloaded from the repos [17:21] mod_cure: open synaptic package manager and sort by "Installed" [17:21] I have another problem why is it my analog keyboard does not work and my usb keyboard works on ubuntu? [17:21] how can i convert a .bin to a .iso, or just mount a .bin file? [17:22] I've noticed one of my processes has suddenly disappeard, is there any log avaible to see the reason why it stopped? [17:22] jwm: and check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. you might be able to figure out why X is black. [17:22] anyone know of a cgywin that works on macs? [17:22] cisconet: was the PS2 keyboard plugged in when you booted up? [17:22] yep [17:22] cisconet: then it should work fine [17:22] Webu: it depends on the binary and if it was getting logged. [17:22] compy: Try asking in ##mac #ubuntu is for Ubuntu Linux support only. [17:22] Webu: might want to check /var/log/messages [17:22] it works on the other stuff like settings [17:22] garrett__, okey, thanks, i'll check it out. [17:22] Pici, apt-update installed the index on the system and then apt-cache search will pull up those indexes ? [17:22] Webu: np [17:23] does anyone know how to get my wireless working again on ubuntu? [17:23] mod_cure: Yep. [17:23] hello again [17:23] Makuseru: http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=bin+to+iso+linux&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f Seriously this search will probably have your answer. :) [17:23] mod_cure: Well, basically ;) [17:23] Pici, when using dig command, what file does it use to find the name servers ? [17:23] but when I boot to ubuntu the num lock , cap locks , scroll lock begain to blink [17:23] Gordon_Frohman3: whats the issue? [17:23] mod_cure, /etc/resolv.conf has the dns servers, is that what u mean [17:23] after the last updates on 8.04 i get errors on shutdown, how can i backtrace the cause? [17:23] weub: but for the most part, if a parent process starts a child process, and the parent process closes, the child process closes, too. [17:23] hwilde, thanks [17:23] garrett__: removing the package is smart [17:23] mod_cure: /etc/resolv.conf , which is populated from whatever your dhcp server gives you and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [17:24] well when i boot to ubuntu (dual boot with vista) my wirless card doesnt show up on the connection thing [17:24] can i run a package manager in the console? [17:24] thanks [17:24] unimatrix9, sounds like an acpi issue [17:24] jwm, aptitude, apt-get, or dselect [17:24] Webu: also, most processes will close when their controlling terminal goes away (i.e: close the xterm) [17:24] hwilde , why? [17:24] Gordon_Frohman3: you may need to use ndiswrapper with a windows driver to get it working [17:24] How does IRC work in pidgin [17:24] vipaca: poorly [17:24] unimatrix9, bc that's what handles shutdown... [17:24] crodd1: Get out of my brain ;) [17:24] hallo [17:24] jwm: yeah. i didn't know if you were trying to diagnose why it was breaking X or if you just wanted to get rid of it all together, hence why i didn't suggest it first [17:24] When I click the power button in the upper left, the menu doesn't come up for about 30+ seconds to choose shutdown, any suggestions? [17:24] i see [17:24] vipaca: sudo apt-get install xchat [17:24] damn, crodd1 beat me to it [17:25] upper right* [17:25] anyone know if Linuxant has come out with drivers for 8.04? [17:25] it wont let me PM you [17:25] vipaca: Do that in a terminal and you will have a much much much better IRC experience. [17:25] garrett__, hmm i see, it was a server, i mean daemon process running, it just disappeard and looks like theres nothing on the logs, both system and the program itself.

[17:28] when i try to twinview and click on apply i get this message Failed to set MetaMode (1) 'DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select @1280x720 +1024+0, DFP-1: 1024x768_60 @1024x768 +0+0' (Mode 2304x768, id: 64) on X screen 0.

To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [17:29] mod_cure: you can use rc.local, but i'm guessing there's an ubuntu way of doing it. [17:29] anyone can tell me where to enable my microphone in ubuntu? [17:29] perhaps there is some other ubuntu channel where the APT gurus hang out? this pinning problem is ruining my day [17:29] !pinning | crodd1 this may help you [17:29] crodd1 this may help you: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [17:30] hanak: the volume control applet [17:30] garrett__: now it gets silly. compiz isn't even installed [17:30] Pici that howto doesn't even describe apt pinning, it describes putting holds on [17:30] jwm: hm. [17:30] garrett__: lol what dumb of me looool [17:31] jwm: run "ps auxw | grep compiz" does it show anything? [17:31] sorry for such stupid question [17:31] hanak: spent 5minutes figuring that out last night ; [17:31] does someone know how to enter a range of ip addresses, say from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.130 in squid.conf? [17:31] hanak ;) [17:31] ralph will it take e.g. /24 ? [17:31] jwm: er--run that while X is running [17:31] When I click the power button in the upper right, the menu doesn't come up for about 30+ seconds to choose shutdown, any suggestions? [17:31] garrett__: i have virtualbox installaed with xp and like to test msn in there but no mic i whas thinking it whas from ubuntu. But try it now :) [17:31] thanks again [17:31] Hello all, I am trying to install postfix via aptitude, and I'm getting a bunch of error codes (http://paste.ubuntu.com/13689/plain/). Could someone steer me in the right direction? [17:31] garrett__: i've logged in directly to a console session [17:32] jwm: and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if you're getting any useful information about why X is bjorking. [17:32] error: libotr 3.1.0 or newer is required <<< what does it mean ? [17:32] jwm: could be as simple as an invalid modeline [17:32] Jav13r_: means you need version 3.1.0 or newer of libotr [17:32] I've just installed 8.04 onto my friends computer and cannot get the wireless to work. PC is HP Pavilion dv2000 with Broadcom 4310 adaptor. Suggestions?

[17:33] xrys: b43-fwcutter, rather. [17:33] Jav13r_: If you are compiling something you'll need the -dev package for that [17:33] garrett__: my intuition is that i need to get into a configuration file that sets desktop effects to enabled and change them to disabled [17:33] When using 1280x960 I'm stuck at 60Hz. How can I enable 85Hz at this resolution? This is with a Radeon X800XTPE and the restricted driver. [17:33] crodd1: Pici ok thx [17:34] Hey I am still having the screen problem I cant see gnome here is a pic of the problem http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn305/cisconet/Photo1.jpg [17:34] what can I do [17:34] "sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner username -j DROP" alows me one user. How do i add more users to drop? [17:34] Sorry, but how do I determine that? I've attempted to use a few guides but most have just made a mess on the system... [17:35] is it a good idea studying for the rhce with ubuntu? i don't have a connection fast enough to download centos, and i can't affort rhel [17:35] jwm: agreed [17:35] xrys: hold on a second [17:35] garrett__: when i did "ps auxw | grep compiz" the output was "jwm 5173 0.0 0.1 2800 732 pts/0 R+ 12:32 0.00 grep compiz" [17:35] jwm: hm. so compiz isn't running. [17:35] how can I update firefox in hardy ?? rc1 is out and check for updates button is gray in beta5 === tonyl is now known as schmooze [17:35] garrett__: any idea where said config file might be? [17:35] is there a way for me to download the wireless driver update and save it so if i have to reformat i can install it as to have internet [17:36] a clean install of 8.04 was much nicer than an upgrade [17:36] mad_max02: Wait for the developers to release the update officially.

Thanks for your patience. [17:36] Pici, okay then [17:36] mad_max02, you can wait a bit or compile it yourself [17:36] lordharsha: No. RH and Ubuntu do not even use the same package management or system configurations. [17:37] ledmushroom, what chipset on that card [17:37] xrys: hm. lspci shows that it's a 4310? [17:37] ill check to see if any universities here have it [17:37] "sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -m owner --uid-owner username -j DROP" allows me one user. How do i add more users to drop? [17:37] thanks [17:37] garrett__: right. i don't think compiz is running [17:38] from lspci, "04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01)" [17:38] xrys: ahhh [17:38] xrys: i haven't used one of those before [17:38] or can i run this command multiple time with different names to drop more? [17:38] jwm: try gconftool-2 –type string –set /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager “metacity” [17:39] idk how do tell [17:39] d Ubuntu on my PS3.

[17:39] where can i get information on an shutdown error with out having to reboot my system o see what the error is? [17:40] I tried recovery but not driver instalation [17:40] xrys: you've tried using ndiswrapper? [17:40] not to happy about ubuntu right now [17:40] I doubt that I can find drivers for my system [17:40] cisconet, is this hardy? what vid card [17:40] its a server [17:40] y6es [17:40] tyes [17:40] hello. I'm running ubuntu live cd on a laptop and want to burn a cd. Is this possible? [17:40] Ginetteann, could you pastebin your sources.list [17:41] Fade_To_Black, sadly no [17:41] Fade_To_Black, you could boot from usb though and do it that way [17:41] garrett__: gimme a sec , rebooting [17:41] jwm: word [17:42] where can i get information on an shutdown error with out having to reboot my system o see what the error is?

[17:42] Fade_To_Black: or connect an external CD burner [17:42] jwm: i'm going to go have a cigarette. i'll check in with you when i get back to see how it went. good luck! [17:42] garrett__: thanks [17:42] ledmushroom, open a terminal and type lspci-->should show the card name (atheros, broadcom, intel et al)dont paste the whole thing here just that one line [17:43] is it possible to install ubuntu from a network boot?

[17:43] any tips are welcome [17:43] I tried but the guide I used was written for a Ubuntu 6.10 and thus I wound up with a mess. I found that rather than using the guide to compile ndiswrapper, there was a set of pre-compiled in synaptic, I tried to use those, but results differed from what the guide was expecting.

[17:49] [GNOME] What command will called when I click Locations > Recent Documents? [17:50] Anyone have a strange issue where one USB port in Ubuntu is slower than the other all of a sudden. My mouse cursor for my wireless mouse drags and is slow in a certain USB port [17:50] [GNOME] What command will be called when I click Locations > Recent Documents? [17:50] bazhang, I will have to keep D/Cing because I have the PS3 and the box im using now sharing one wired connection. [17:50] I'm kind of new to ubuntu.. But a pretty good tech when it comes to Pc's. [17:50] As wireless doesnt work with the PS3. [17:50] garrett__: unknown option -type [17:50] incorrect : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [17:51] I have went through a couple of tutorials and can get in some times but have problems afterwards [17:51] hm... difficult... i have 15k pictures... [17:51] Ginetteann, you need to edit the sources.list; put a # in front of the cd listing (1st one) and remove the #from the others then refresh (sudo apt-get update) and try again [17:51] hello [17:51] in recovary mode of ubuntu 8.04 it directely goes to root mode after chousing from menu and does not ask for password even though i set root pass [17:51] has anyone been able to remove mail-transport-agent and install postfix successfully? I am getting errors when trying to do it. [17:51] i want to stop it, hoe? [17:51] one question how do i check rkhunter log file [17:51] i want to stop it, how? [17:51] I recently did an install and changed the monitor afterward to Samsung 749bf. This was a disaster. I edited the monitor config to get a slightly better display. only after I re-installed ubuntu 8 and re-edited the file did it work. Is there a way to clear a device and re-install it without re-installing ubuntu? [17:52] *samsung 740bf [17:52] sss : in recovery mode you are superuser [17:52] bazhang, let me clarify. you want me to comment out the very first line? And then remove every other # from the rest of the sources.list file? [17:52] Ginetteann, not familiar with ps3; is there a gui for that? [17:52] sss: remove the recovery mode option from your grub menu if you dont want it to show up [17:52] bullgard4: not a command at all. Nautilus evaluates the content of $HOME/.recently-used.xbel [17:52] sss: I believe you have to edit the grub menu and remove recovery since that auto logs you in as root with no password [17:53] bazhang, the PS3 has its own OS, the XMB. That has a GUI. And Ubuntu running on a PS3 also has a GUI. [17:53] zvacet: but i want that it ask for root pass [17:53] for some reason since i booted ubuntu today i have no more bar at the top of any windows anymore with the - [] X signs and that lets you move the window around and stuff. how do i get it back? [17:54] hello, i just got the new Ubuntu 8.04 i386 CD by mail, and the site says to upgrade from the CD run cdromupgrade file, but i can't find that file anywhere, it's not on the cd. [17:54] Ginetteann, okay well then you can go into software sources and check the appropriate repos (minux backports most likely) and uncheck cd then refresh and try again to install [17:54] Ginetteann, there is also a #ubuntu-ps3 channel, though there are only about 8 people in it :) [17:54] Woah, your talking way out of my depth here. Im new to Linux, like most. [17:54] sss: you could set a root password, but that would reduce Ubuntu's security. [17:54] I need it as plain and simple as you can make it. [17:55] has anyone been able to remove mail-transport-agent and install postfix successfully? I am getting errors when trying to do it. [17:55] anyone use rkhunter [17:55] Ginetteann, okay, this is a standard ubuntu gui though right? [17:55] 10 people. i noticed and joined [17:55] kitche: it is one option but i want that it ask for pass [17:55] Ginetteann: are you aware that the PS3 runs pretty much the PPC distro version of ubuntu [17:55] Yeah [17:55] Im not sure [17:55] i there any way to do this [17:56] Ginetteann: super, so as long as you keep away from direct hardware access, the PPC rules should be the same as the PS3 [17:56] Ginetteann, so go to system-->administartion-->software sources and set that up there [17:56] sss: it might be better to use grub's password feature [17:56] i still cba to update to 8.10 [17:56] somebody plz tell me what the problem is, this sucks [17:56] for some reason since i booted ubuntu today i have no more bar at the top of any windows anymore with the - [] X signs and that lets you move the window around and stuff. how do i get it back? [17:56] things might get better for the ps3, as soon as the GPU ram is hacked [17:56] LhiQuer: 8.10 does not exist yet [17:56] ikonia, all I know is that install software packages via sudo apt-get install. [17:56] The cannot be found, even though they exist. [17:56] I cannot install* [17:56] Ginetteann: ok, starting at the begining is a great way to start [17:56] any canonical employees here? [17:56] ikonia, i meant 8.04... too baffled with #ubuntu+1 [17:56] 256Megs means ubuntu runs slow for me, [17:56] Ginetteann: what packages are you trying to install [17:56] malifal: what's the problem ? [17:57] malifal, what do you need? [17:57] hello, i just got the new Ubuntu 8.04 i386 CD by mail, and the site says to upgrade from the CD run cdromupgrade file, but i can't find that file anywhere, it's not on the cd. [17:57] Ginetteann: have you run 'sudo apt-get update'? [17:57] Where can I find a gutsy guide for ndiswrapper? [17:57] damn .... how do i list processes again? [17:57] Strick^9: ps [17:57] sss : why? ae you only user on that comp? [17:57] malifal: it's only on the alternate CD [17:57] k [17:57] ty [17:57] [GNOME] What command will be called when I click Locations > Recent Documents? [17:57] I have tried a few, such as Xchat and Mirc. Yes I have run sudo apt-get update. I have also tried a few others that are required to get flash working under Ubuntu on the PS3. [17:57] Ikonia the ps3 version is unable to update from 7.10 to 8.04, packages are broken? [17:58] sss: like I said remove the recovery option from grub you just want the single user mode [17:58] bullgard4: what was wrong with my answer? [17:58] !samba [17:58] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [17:58] so to upgrade to 8.04 via cd, i need the alternate? [17:58] LhiQuer, yes [17:58] Ginetteann: so what happens if you do "sudo apt-get install xchat" [17:58] soundray: what do you suggest me doing in order to do an upgrade without having to download 800MB? [17:58] matrix : afterr finishing scan rkhunter tell you where log file is I don´t remember but it should be in var [17:58] How can I add a font to ubuntu? [17:58] soundray: Please excuse me. I was in the kitchen. I overlooked you answer. My apologies. [17:58] ok it seems to be working but i am wondering as this is a friends laptop and when they go home as the wifi doesnt seen to be scanning or should i say detecting a wifi broadcast as i set it manually had too for it to work roaming doesnt seem to be detecting anything when she goes home will it work there? [17:59] X-Seti: yes, it's a community release so not all packages are up to date/manucally verified, only the auto build [17:59] E: Couldnt find package * [17:59] bullgard4: you know that that's rude, asking a question then turning your back on the channel [17:59] bullgard4: I gave you the system admin guide for gnome [17:59] bullgard4: it should be in that guide [17:59] ikonia, [17:59] Ginetteann: and does apt-cache search xchat show any results ? [17:59] I have a font file, but it only starts a viewer, when I click on it. An install/add button is missing. [17:59] Ginetteann, you need to follow the path I laid out above [17:59] malifal: I'm sorry, there isn't really an alternative [17:59] Ikonia oh and the ps3/8.04 version doesnt install for me? [17:59] ikonia: can u repeat that link for guide ? [17:59] My laptop takes ages to show the logout screen and sometimes doesn't show the Suspend option unless I cancel and do it again. There must be a bug open about it already for Hardy. Anyone know the bug number? [17:59] bullgard4: not a command at all. Nautilus evaluates the content of $HOME/.recently-used.xbel [18:00] darn it :p [18:00] ikonia his sources list only has cd [18:00] mlr what link guide ? [18:00] bazhang: ahhhhh [18:00] bazhang: well done [18:00] bazhang, ikonia , it is really difficult to follow two different paths at the same time. [18:00] can i ask where can i change the language of my firefox? [18:00] X-Seti: I'd need more info to help with that [18:00] for gnome ikonia ? if there was a link to guide [18:00] Who shall i follow? [18:00] 7.10 run very well, with a TV tuner and webcam, so im alittle proud of that [18:00] mlr, oh, ok, hang on [18:00] Ginetteann, him as I am leaving soon :) [18:00] Ginetteann: bazhang [18:00] ikonia , many tnx [18:00] oops [18:00] Ginetteann: follow me [18:01] Ginetteann: have you done 'sudo apt-get update' recently? [18:01] soundray: I am not that rude. I have overlooked that answer of yours. It is rare that I miss an answer. -- My apologies. [18:01] Ginetteann, yeah him :) [18:01] soundray, yes I have just now. [18:01] for some reason since i booted ubuntu today i have no more bar at the top of any windows anymore with the - [] X signs and that lets you move the window around and stuff. how do i get it back?

[18:03] nabcore: it should only pause for a milisecond [18:03] nabcore, well, that's a security concern [18:03] ikonia; it's a bit longer. It's *such* a pain [18:03] ikonia; it's an oldish machine [18:03] nabcore: such as ? [18:03] nabcore: can you give me an example of a wrong command that makes your system pause [18:03] how long should the LiveCD take to detect hardware and boot up into Ubuntu?

[18:04] soundray, what is it saying? Well, I dont know how to explain. The best way I can put it is Couldnt find package. [18:04] I can't select 1280x960@85Hz (only 60Hz), despite my monitor supporting it. Every other resolution seems to work fine. Any ideas? [18:04] BoyBlunder: exim is still running [18:04] Samuusi : you can add languages [18:04] And then the name of the package it couldnt find. [18:04] it takes around 1 second [18:04] Ginetteann: did you notice any errors on the apt-get update? [18:04] None [18:04] DefineByte, it's your xorg.conf [18:04] nabcore: what command [18:04] Good morning! I have an easy question: Last night I deleted the bottom toolbar in Ubuntu (the one that displays the open programs) in the hope that it would force them to display on the top bar. Does anyone know how to restore this functionality, or move it to the top bar? [18:04] Ginetteann: any output at all? [18:04] Ikonia: i have a dual-core AMD64 proc. Yet it never seems to want to boot. I wait 10 minutes and it still hasn't booted in off the CD. [18:04] Hi all. A question regarding network-manager-pptp. I'm trying to connect to my works vpn, unfortunately if I use the nm-pptp I get wrong password error. If I configure the pptp by hand, with the password in chap-secrets in quotes, it works. Using quotes in nm-pptp is not helping. The point is I want to avoid keeping the password in clear text. [18:04] defdef: right click -> add to panel -> window list [18:04] ikonia: how? I cannot find it running anywhere. i'm using ps -A | grep exim and nothing is found. [18:04] nabcore: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove command-not-found' [18:05] zvacet: oh btw as language i mean something like finnish :) [18:05] Vedalken: what hardware is in the machine [18:05] soundray, wait. [18:05] soundray; thanks [18:05] Good Evening Guys! [18:05] general question: I want to return to the default window manager rather than compiz. what is the name of it? I'm using gconf-editor. [18:05] BoyBlunder: thats the problem, the dpkg manager things it's running - trys to stop it and fails [18:05] It didnt exactly update when I issues that command. [18:05] BoyBlunder: dpkg -l | grep exim [18:05] hi [18:05] defdef, good morning, right click your existing bar and choose new bar [18:05] It said: [18:05] jwm: go through System-Preferences-Appearance-Effects [18:05] jwm: just go to system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects and choose None [18:05] pen_ I've tried modelines, preferred modes and setting the horizontal and vertical refreshrates; what would you suggest? [18:05] ikonia: any idea how to resolve? [18:06] Ginetteann: don't paste please [18:06] DefineByte, why don't you let the system decide what's good for you? [18:06] BoyBlunder: dpkg -l | grep exim - see if its installed [18:06] soundray: i can't get the because i enabled desktop effects and now there is no graphics AT ALL [18:06] Ginetteann: paraphrase if you can [18:06] Because I know better? :) [18:06] ikonia: 4 instances of it are there.

[18:06] BoyBlunder: apt-get remove $package them [18:06] pen_: I got that far, my question is how do I tell Ubuntu to display my open applicatison on that bar? Do you know what I mean? Like in Windows when you have IE open, it displays in the bottom toolbar. How do I configure that in Ubuntu? [18:06] DefineByte, let me find the command [18:06] zvacet: did u get this: zvacet: oh btw as language i mean something like finnish :) [18:06] jwm: can you log into failsafe?
