[00:00] Broadcom: http://pastebin.com/d2426dd87 [00:00] vlad, still here? [00:00] bah [00:00] Yes [00:00] io__: editing sudoers is one way, another way that works for programs that aren't finicky about UID is SETUID for root. [00:00] !pastebin [00:00] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [00:00] I seem to remember reading about sudoers at one point... but I don't want to give blanket permissions, maybe just one app or two [00:00] jsoftw, comcast 8mbit burstable (cable) [00:01] io__: Right, you can do that in sudoers [00:01] oh right. So you dont need any auth or anything? Basically assign an IP, and thats it? [00:01] james__: yes im still here :) [00:01] kaiden: i found your problem, you have no wired internet device [00:01] pawan, ok what? did you pastebin your xorg.conf ? [00:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14662/ [00:01] change permissions on the file? [00:01] kaiden: just kidding, but do you know what yours is? [00:01] vlad, have you added the backports to your sources list? [00:01] Broadcom, yes, it's the device running on eth1 ;) hehe [00:01] does anyone know what winbind screwed up when it updated to cause my network browsing to fail? [00:02] should be the nvidia mcp55 one [00:02] change ownership of the file to a special group and then add the proper permissions and add that group to the users you want to run the file? [00:02] meh. [00:02] james__: dunno how to add them i downloaded 2 packages 1 for universal other for multiuniversal from the page u gave me [00:02] * jsoftw hates waiting for replys [00:02] so 00:11.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2) [00:02] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14664/ [00:02] actually why am I here :/ [00:02] well, I'll have a look at sudoers again, and attempt not to screw it up this time.... :-) [00:02] * mib_ih7x99 is battling a mutt [00:02] james__: both seems to be the same and are like txt files [00:03] now [00:03] Hello - I am having errors where compiles no longer work. simple functions like malloc are no longer declared. for example: /usr/include/c++/4.2/cstdlib:123: error: ‘::malloc’ has not been declared [00:03] kaiden: this link if for people for whom it did not work at all, maybe it will help. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/136836 [00:03] Launchpad bug 136836 in linux "Ethernet (nVidia MCP55) not working [ gutsy, hardy]" [Medium,New] [00:03] vlad, please explain [00:03] io__: I can give you the syntax to add programs so they don't require a password--do you need help? [00:03] even worse - I cannot find gcc or g++ anywhere in synaptic. Any ideas? [00:03] blizzardman1219_: Is your wpa_supplicant.conf file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf or just /etc/wpa_supplicant ? [00:03] nobody? [00:03] Broadcom, thanks, maybe that will give me a tiny bit of insight into it :) [00:04] pgi1: It should be. Pastebin your sources.list [00:04] mib_ih7x99: it's /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf [00:04] ubuntuROX: ask again [00:04] I have a problem, yesterday update manager installed a wine update and something called winbind. Today I cannot browse my network in Places Network... Shows windows network but there is nothing there? does anyone have any ideas? [00:04] it looks like you ran the command with -c/etc/wpa_supplicant (no .conf) [00:04] thanks for the help... [00:04] mib_ih7x99: oh sorry! let me fix that. one sec [00:04] blizzardman1219_: sure, np [00:05] Hi all [00:05] !hi | Ace2016 [00:05] Ace2016: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:05] ubuntuROx: they seem unrelated, it is probobly a problem with your network [00:05] I could sure use some help. If you had the syntax that would be great [00:05] when compiling a kernel how do i specify the old config file when running make oldconfig [00:05] Curious, can you browse guide listings when using totem mythtv plugin? [00:05] Flannel: http://rafb.net/p/kuE2w165.html [00:05] steve-cal: thanks [00:06] james__: i went to the page u gave me then enter to i386 for hardy then downloaded Packages.bz2 when i extract it there is a file "packages" that i open with gedit [00:06] Does anybody around here use the mutt email client? [00:06] io__: So start with opening up sudoers, "sudo visudo" [00:06] pgi1: that looks normal enough. do you get errors with 'sudo apt-get update'? [00:06] !anyone | mib_ih7x99 [00:06] mib_ih7x99: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:06] hello [00:06] !hi | pawan [00:06] pawan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:06] pawan, ok, I only know of 1 sure way to fix your issue, but you may want to ask around someone else here probably has a better solution, but this is what i did, I downloaded the ISO image and burned to cd, booted up on the live cd and made sure the graphics were fine on the cd, they were, i did sudo cp /ect/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk//ect/X11/xorg.conf and reboot and all was well [00:06] ok, just a sec... [00:06] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14665/ [00:07] Broadcom: I've got a mutt-specific question which I didn't want to flood the channel with repeatedly--so every hour or so I'm asking if any mutt users are around. :-) [00:07] I have GNOME on Ubuntu Hardy, is it possible to install/use KDE and GNOME on the same machine? [00:07] Flannel: no errors [00:07] mib_ih7x99: ok, sorry [00:07] Broadcom: No worries... :-) [00:07] Hit and Ign on the repositories [00:07] so should i download [00:07] ok I'm there... [00:07] is there a way through the terminal to get the public ip address of your computer using the terminal? (assume you are NATed, and no cheating using links) [00:07] pgi1: `sudo apt-get install build-essential` won't install it though? [00:07] Dr_Link: install kubuntu-desktop [00:07] Hi. does anybody know how to to fix desktop icons so that they don't move when i click "clean up my name" [00:07] io__: Does it show at the bottom ^X exit and ^G help, etc? We need to make sure you're using nano as the editor... [00:08] Dr_Link: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [00:08] blizzardman1219_: It sounds like your configuration file has an error. [00:08] mib_ih7x99: ok... how do i fix it? [00:08] Broadcom: Will that kill my GNOME environment? Will I lose any work? [00:08] squee_: curl -sf http://checkip.dyndns.org/|cut -d ':' -f 2|cut -d '<' -f1|sed -e 's/ //g' [00:08] Dr_Link: You then choose from the login manager which to use when logging in [00:08] I have touch pad and when I am typing in the room a brush it lightly and it scrolls the chat windows . Is there a way to make it not use those light touches ? [00:08] Dr_Link: nope [00:08] pawan, your choice, ask around for better solution or download and follow what i gave, wish i had more [00:08] I am assuming there is an xubuntu-desktop, too. [00:09] !kubuntu | Dr_Link [00:09] Dr_Link: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [00:09] Dr_Link: Correct [00:09] thanks for the help man [00:09] blizzardman1219_: Can you open up your supplicant conf file again (Alt-F2, gksudo gedit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf) [00:09] mib_ih7x99: is it possible without using a 3rd party? [00:09] hi there , i am facing a problem i installed bcm43xx driver for my wireless but when i open my restricted driver there is no driver but i am able to see my wireless option in network-admin can any budy help me [00:09] no it doesn't I started vi not nano. I prefer nano though...... hang on... [00:09] Hello Folks, ive recently (2 weeks ago) ran an update on Hardy and it seems to have broken gtk2 everything in gnome now shows up with the older gtk theme and the toolbar buttons are gone, any one have any ideas about how to troubleshoot/fix it ? [00:09] mib_ih7x99: ok done [00:09] pawan, but i would copy paste what inst i gave to your desktop, just in case [00:09] Yachziel or Broadcom: Well, I got part of what I wanted to work. I can see my ubuntu system from the laptop. Does Samba also allow me to see my laptop from ubuntu? [00:09] i apt-get ubuntu deskop and i am running a gnome right now how do i switch ? do xubuntu ? [00:09] james__: ? [00:09] how to add cyrillic support to ubuntu openoffice 2? [00:10] hexoroid: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [00:10] io__: You haveto use visudo though--don't open sudoers in nano directly--use "export EDITOR=nano && sudo -E visudo" [00:10] squee_: You could ask your router what your external IP address is. If it's a Linksys you could install, say, DD-WRT, and presumably get your external IP from that. [00:10] mib_ih7x99: alright, thanks [00:10] blizzardman1219_: What's in line 12? [00:10] io__: BTW, to get out of vi just type: :quit [00:11] Steve-cal: what does that do? [00:11] mib_ih7x99: a "}" [00:11] anyone know why i can log into this room thru chatzilla, but not thru the koversation program? the normal program keeps tryin to log into dal.net thru a different login name that i have no idea where it is getting it from [00:11] Flannel: sorry about that, lost internet [00:11] does anybody know how to to fix desktop icons so that they don't move when i click "clean up my name" [00:11] pgi1: `sudo apt-get install build-essential` won't install it though? [00:11] io__: That command runs visudo with nano. [00:11] how to check what kernel version I am using ? [00:11] Gohalien: uname -a [00:11] Gohalien: uname -r [00:11] how to add cyrillic to openoffice 2? [00:11] tolja quit repeating [00:11] blizzardman1219_: Try changing `ssid=blizzardman1219' to `ssid="blizzardman1219' [00:12] er, "blizzardman1219" [00:12] thanks [00:12] i.e., enclose it in quotes. then run the command again and see what you get :-) [00:12] I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 which contains the ltmodem drivers I need. I installed the package, and I see /lib/modules/ltmodem. Within that are 3 .o files. HOwever, none of them will load with modprobe or insmod. What's up? [00:12] I dunno - I search synaptic for g++, glib, whatever.. nothing shows up [00:12] mib_ih7x99: ok done. what do i do now? [00:12] ariqs: ... the .o suffix hasn't been used for kernel modules since 2.4 [00:13] ariqs: where did you get this driver? [00:13] blizzardman1219_: You enclosed your SSID in quotes? Try running the command I gave you again and paste the output. [00:13] but: g++ --version says 4.2.3 is installed.. [00:13] hi, does somebody knows wine and mail.ru agent? [00:13] mib_ih7x99: ok one sec [00:13] Steve-cal: ok so it reads "File: /etc/sudoers.tmp" [00:13] http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-16-386 [00:13] that's where I got it, chousuke [00:13] How do you get a list of what ubottu knows? [00:14] Factoids, that is [00:14] it's my same question as before said differently until I ask it in a way that I get the right answer ;P [00:14] hey all [00:14] !hi | Roey [00:14] Roey: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [00:14] I'm having trouble hearing any sound output from Flash. [00:14] Where can I set Flash to ALSA? [00:14] io__: OK, so move down to the bottom of that file and first add this: [00:15] Cmnd_Alias CMDS_AS_ROOT = /usr/local/bin/mycmd3, /usr/local/bin/mycmd2 [00:15] (where obviously you give the paths to your programs instead) [00:15] ariqs: I really have no idea. [00:15] is there a "provides" command to see what package is providing my g++ executable? [00:16] ariqs: did you try just "sudo modprobe ltmode" [00:16] ariqs: ltmodem* [00:16] yep [00:16] and lt-modem [00:16] and lt_modem [00:17] what about lt_serial? [00:17] pgi1: `apt-get file' ? [00:17] .. weird, though. [00:17] think so [00:17] they should be .ko files [00:17] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14667/ [00:17] there are no .ko files there [00:17] How do I unmount a volume in /media/ from terminal? [00:18] I had mp3's working with w32codecs out of the medibuntu repo's.. I installed osme updates and now mp3's dont play.. I've tried reinstalling w32codecs with no luck pls help :) [00:18] ariqs: You need restricted-drivers before ltmodem is there [00:18] linkmaster03: sudo umount /media/foo [00:18] jbroome: thank you [00:18] genii: i have them [00:18] mib_ih7x99: apt-get /usr/bin/g++ says invalid operation [00:18] blizzardman1219_: OK, that's a start. The line that has your passphrase, `psk=...' -- what does it look like? [00:18] urggghhh [00:18] pgi1: `apt-get file g++' ? [00:18] invalid operation file [00:18] blizzardman1219_: psk=hexadecimalstuff or psk="hexadecimalstuff" ? [00:19] Steve-cal: so I place this:Cmnd_Alias CMDS_AS_ROOT = /usr/local/bin/mycmd3, /usr/local/bin/mycmd2 and replace with my command including full path? [00:19] pgi1: sorry, I meant `apt-file' [00:19] damn this is so annoying. I can compile stuff in other distros.. why doesn't ubuntu support freaking malloc() ? [00:19] mib_ih7x99: psk=hexadecimalstuff [00:19] pgi1: do you have build-essential installed? [00:19] mib_ih7x99: hum.. don't have that command [00:19] blizzardman1219_: Try changing it to psk="your passphrase here" [00:20] pgi1: maybe dlocate? (I'm operating on faulty memory here, my Ubuntu laptop isn't functioning right now) [00:20] io__: Yes, that's the syntax to add two commands, you can add just one if you want. Be sure to include the full path. [00:20] pgi1: could try yum -y install build-essential [00:20] build-essential is already the newest version. [00:20] just a sec... [00:20] ariqs: I found a bug report stating that ltmodem will not work in 2.6.24-16 [00:20] ariqs: you will need -17 [00:20] tshine: wrong OS [00:20] mib_ih7x99: ok done. i'll post the report in a couple of seconds [00:20] yum? sorry, did I miss something? what OS is pgi1 using? [00:20] sure [00:20] ariqs: So apt-cache search linux-restricted-modules indicates it's installed? [00:20] *policy [00:20] ariqs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/210652/comments/5 [00:21] opps sorry apt-get -y install build-essential heh [00:21] Launchpad bug 210652 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 "[Hardy] ltmodem driver missing" [Undecided,Fix released] [00:21] james__: are u there? [00:21] tshine: no -y [00:21] ariqs: apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules rather [00:21] hmm.. [00:21] Starnestommy: why not? [00:21] tshine: haha--last night I told someone to `apt-get uninstall' something :-) [00:21] Well apt-get install build-essential shows that I have the newest version isntalled [00:21] chousuke: so what package is -17? [00:21] can anyone help me? [00:21] tshine: it's dangerous as the user can't directly control yes/no answers as everything answers as yes [00:21] ariqs: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17 [00:21] I need my music back :( [00:21] ariqs: you have -16 [00:22] ariqs: Also you may not be running i386 kernel. ltmodem is not supplied for any other kernels than that [00:22] genii: he is [00:22] !question | mookid [00:22] mookid: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:22] I've already asked it dude [00:22] Steve-cal: it asks me if I want to save to "sudoers.tmp" don't I want just "sudoers"? [00:22] mookid: sorry, faulty autopilot :-) [00:22] io__: just save it to sudoers.tmp. It'll automatically be moved to sudoers if it works correctly [00:22] io__: you want the tmp file [00:23] ;) [00:23] i don't see linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17 on packages.ubuntu.com for hardy [00:23] * mib_ih7x99 attempts an apt-get upgrade brain, to no avail [00:23] ariqs: I don't see it either. [00:23] io__: Don't save yet! You have to add the following, and replace steve with your username: [00:23] steve ALL = NOPASSWD: CMDS_AS_ROOT [00:23] oh well. so - am I supposed to just accept the fact that ubuntu doesn't support malloc? [00:23] ariqs: apparently it isn't in hardy yet [00:23] even though it is the standard way to allocate memory in C? [00:24] pgi1: what happens when you try to use malloc? [00:24] I've been working on this for HOURS [00:24] io__: add that after the other line... [00:24] Starnestommy: /usr/include/c++/4.2/cstdlib:123: error: ‘::malloc’ has not been declared [00:24] hello how do i see what version of java I have? [00:24] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14671/ [00:24] pgi1: it might be std::malloc [00:24] Steve-cal: ok just a sec... [00:24] pgi1: ubuntu supports malloc... [00:24] im using hardy btw [00:25] Yeah - but I'm not even calling malloc or ::malloc or std::malloc [00:25] this is happening in QtCore [00:25] pgi1: that's some other error [00:25] io__: And whatever you do, do not exit visudo until we are sure it works, OK? ;) [00:25] pgi1: did you manually install Qtcore? [00:25] pgi1: seems like your system headers are fubar :P [00:25] ok [00:25] manually install?? no.. I installed qt and qt-devel or whatever it is called [00:25] blizzardman1219_: So does your psk line read like this? `psk="WPA Passphrase here"' (not in hexadecimal form) [00:26] io__: So did you add the line? [00:26] pgi1: then it's a bug. [00:26] Chousuke: how do I un-fubar this then? [00:26] mib_ih7x99: not it's in hexadecimal form... was i supposed to change that? [00:26] Never had this problem on any other system/distro [00:26] pgi1: I really don't know [00:26] steve-cal: how do I save it without exiting?, yes I added the lines [00:26] pgi1: have you explained what exactly you are doing? === tell is now known as ian1 [00:26] pgi1: double-check that you're including everything correctly === ian1 is now known as ianm_ [00:27] blizzardman1219_: If I understand right, it works like so: `psk=hexadecimalstuff' or `psk="plain old text"' depending on whether you put quotes [00:27] io__: just do a Ctrl-O and save as "sudoers" not sudoers.tmp. [00:27] mib_ih7x99: ok i'll change that one sec [00:27] ariqs: anyway, it seems the only thing you can do for now is to wait for a new version of the linux-restricted-modules package [00:27] Steve-cal: is that such a good idea? doesn't visudo verify your sudoers file and then move it to sudoers? [00:27] Hi, I have a multilingual (fr-CA) keyboard on my laptop, and I only need the standard US functionality, so I can type common characters. Is there a way to change this in Ubuntu [00:27] i'm really confused why my mp3's would play.. I update patches and now they wont play ;( [00:27] Chousuke: this runs on every other platform/distro I have tried [00:27] alrighty then, thanks chousuke [00:28] Are there any IPv6 package servers? [00:28] pgi1: but it doesn't run on Ubuntu. It might be a bug in Ubuntu [00:28] here is the compile error: http://rafb.net/p/aY3DEK82.html [00:28] !mutt [00:28] Factoid mutt not found [00:28] Steve-cal: hang on backing up the file [00:28] yes - so how do I resolve this problem since it must be a bug in ubuntu? [00:28] pgi1: it's impossible to help you if you don't tell us what you are doing... === JonathanD is now known as JonathanS === JonathanS is now known as JonathanD [00:29] I am a developer for lmms.sf.net we have a large application it uses Qt and is written in C++ [00:29] pgi1: dpkg -S g++ [00:29] mib_ih7x99: You mean save it as sudoers.tmp and then visudo moves it for you? I don't understand what you mean. [00:29] would anyone be able to tell me if there are any good CAD software packages that work well in ubuntu? [00:29] pgi1: Again, does build-essential install? [00:29] pgi1: write something small then that recreates the error and pastebin it [00:29] it runs on my computer and every computer I tried. I am at my parent's house. They run ubuntu, and that is where the suffering starts. Compile error is here: http://rafb.net/p/aY3DEK82.html [00:30] you'll notice the malloc error happens in from /usr/include/c++/4.2/bits/stl_algobase.h:68 [00:30] Steve-cal: Doesn't visudo open nano, where you edit your stuff, and then you write-out to the default file (.tmp)? Then visudo validates the .tmp file and moves it to the sudoers file. [00:30] if he has installed qtcore from the repositories then that's definitely a bug. [00:30] so.. if you are saying that I broke the STL somehow... [00:30] !info qcad | ptrg [00:30] pgi1: that could be a problem with gcc 4.2 [00:30] ptrg: qcad (source: qcad): A professional CAD System. In component main, is optional.

[00:30] Chousuke: not qtcore, I installed Qt and qt-devel, whatever they are called [00:30] pgi1: er, g++ 4.2.

[00:31] blizzardman1219_: I'll be right back. [00:31] pgi1: try with another version of g++ [00:31] ok - I am package newb - can you point me to downgrading? [00:31] mib_ih7x99: I thought visudo validated the file before you try to save it, but I may be mistaken. So you're saying io__ should save it to sudoers.tmp and visudo will automatically move it to sudoers if it doesn't contain any syntax errors? [00:31] I don't want to sound dumb ,but I installed GSynaptics and I looked for SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf and I can't find it anywhere in the file. Nor do I have any idea where to put it . any one ? [00:31] so I don't blow this up any more? [00:31] mib_ih7x99: ok tell me when you're back. i have it pasted [00:32] pgi1: there shouldn't be a need to downgrade [00:32] Chousuke: to go from 4.2 to 4.1?? [00:32] pgi1: I think there are multiple versions of g++ in the repos [00:32] Steve-cal: it says unable to open /dev/nvram: Permission Denied [00:32] pgi1: you can install them simultaneously [00:32] Chousuke: yeah - but I have to be able to pick one while compiling... [00:32] you can use gcc-select I think [00:32] io__: Where are you? What returned that error? You still have visudo open, right? [00:32] pgi1: or update-alternatives [00:32] blizzardman1219_: I'm back [00:33] Steve-cal: io__ should save to the default location. [00:33] problem is, g++ doesn't even show up in synaptic [00:33] pgi1: or set CC to whatever you want, standard configure scripts will use that [00:33] hi, any1 here knows how to install desktop multiplier in hardy 64bit? [00:33] can anyone recommend a p2p client with a nice simple gtk GUI? [00:33] pgi1: It should, since you have it installed from b-e, `apt-cache policy g++` shows its installed, yes? [00:34] pgi1: apt-cache search -n 'g\+\+' [00:34] Steve-cal:I am in gnome-terminal with two tabs open, I did the CTRL-O and then went to the other tab and tried to run the program... [00:34] btw - if anyone is using splashy and updates the splashy theme, you will probably have to run update-initramfs -u so your boot up splash will show properly. At least that was the case for me [00:34] you know, it's a nightmare to try to download packages to a flash drive to run because of all the damn dependencies. WHy does linux do that? why not just make the package include the dependencies? [00:34] Flannel: apt-cache policy g++ shows it installed - yes [00:34] ariqs: cause they'd be huge [00:34] ariqs: Because then each package that depends on the same things would have to include them, and you'd be downloading a lot more [00:34] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14672/ [00:34] is there a good mIRC type client I can use to connect to other networks? other then this one? [00:34] ariqs: because that would be kind of dumb, to have the same library installed a million times [00:34] james__: u there? [00:34] mib_ih7x99: Saving to sudoers.tmp does not update sudoers that I am aware of. [00:35] OneTwistedPet: Pidgin [00:35] OneTwistedPet: check out xchat [00:35] lol [00:35] blizzardman1219_: Is your internet working? [00:35] I dont like pidgin for irc [00:35] have a larger pool of preinstalled dependencies and then it would be an issue to include many either [00:35] wouldn't [00:35] hi guys [00:35] its a good messenger [00:35] Steve-cal: Well, let's ask the manpage. [00:35] thats about it [00:35] OneTwistedPet: xchat, konversation, conspire, or mirc in wine [00:35] mib_ih7x99: no [00:35] ariqs: there already is a large pool of preinstalled stuff on ubuntu systems [00:35] anyway, I need a header file for compiling, I got one from packages.ubuntu.com and it's corrupt. Where should I go? [00:35] ok, installing gcc-4.1 and g++-4.1 right now [00:35] thank you man [00:35] greatful [00:35] have a good week [00:36] can you tell me please which is the garbage dir .... where is ? [00:36] mib_ih7x99: should i try the command without the -d? [00:36] then why does everything have a giant web of dependencies? I'm pulling my hair out on build-essentials [00:36] io__: In the other tab, just do a simple "sudo ls" and make sure sudo isn't broken with your changes. [00:36] leimer: ~/.local/share/Trash/ [00:36] blizzardman1219_: Why not? [00:36] How do you get USB headsets to work with Ubuntu 8.04? I have tried changing the device through the volume control but that does not work... [00:36] ariqs: because it's that way on every system. [00:36] hi, who knows how to setup a desktop multiplier in ubuntu 8.04 64bit? ty [00:36] ariqs: do you have the CD you used to install the system? [00:36] how can i know what device is my video tuner ? [00:36] jrib tnks [00:36] flannel: yes [00:36] Steve-cal: visudo parses the sudoers file after the edit and will not save the changes if there is a syntax error. Upon finding an error, visudo will print a message stating the line number(s) where the error occurred and the user will receive the "What now?" prompt. [00:36] http://linux.die.net/man/8/visudo [00:37] so - I just need to set my CXX and CC vars to the appropriate path? [00:37] chousuke: I am a bit of a c++ programmer in windows and it's simple ;P [00:37] ariqs: Pop that in, do `sudo apt-cdrom add` then sudo apt-get update, and install build-essential [00:37] ariqs: b-e is on the CD [00:37] Steve-cal: If the default write-out file is sudoers.tmp, and since sudoers.tmp is mentioned in the manpage, I'm guessing that sudoers.tmp is the correct file. [00:37] thankyou flannel! [00:37] ariqs: you probably compile static binaries then. or only use the preinstalled libraries. [00:37] I disabled GDM and got thrown out of X (wtf?). How do I enable it from this TTY? [00:37] ok, stupid question #1,098,874---How do I enable the emerald theme manager? [00:37] james [00:37] Steve-cal: oh yes, the first thing I did when the command gave me permission denied was attempt to open synaptic from the command line: ie "sudo synaptic" and that worked ok [00:38] io__: gksu synaptic, don't ever open synaptic with sudo. [00:38] ariqs: Linux works differently, and it works [00:38] io__: I haven't been watching your conversation, but did you try writing your file out to sudoers.tmp? [00:38] How do I enable GDM from a tty? [00:38] Any mutt users online? [00:38] !anyone | mib_ih7x99 [00:38] mib_ih7x99: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:38] What is the name of the program that helps you with the install of your (nvidia) graphics drivers? [00:38] hi, [00:39] Flannel: why "gksu" and not "sudo" [00:39] ariqs: on windows you have to ship every library with your app because there's no way to guarantee it works otherwise. on Linux, the distro makers take care of dependencies for you [00:39] mib_ih7x99: Well maybe I'm missing something, because I just modified my sudoers file with visudo, saved it to the default sudoers.tmp, and my sudoers does not show the changes. What am I missing? [00:39] How do you get USB headsets to work with Ubuntu 8.04? I have tried changing the device through the volume control but that does not work... [00:39] io__: use gksu (or gksudo) for graphical programs. It sets up the environment more appropriately [00:39] jrib: I just got done explaining that to Broadcom... :-) got a detailed question for an obscure program and didn't want to flood. [00:39] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14673/ [00:39] : I saved it directly to sudoers... [00:40] Steve-cal: I'm not sure. Last time I used visudo, I saved to sudoers.tmp and it worked, so I don't really know what to tell you... :-S [00:40] ok, stupid question #1,098,874---How do I enable the emerald theme manager? [00:40] what p2p app do you guys use/ [00:40] io__: Does it work if you try saving to the .tmp file? [00:40] io__: or whatever default filename it gives you [00:40] i am tryin connecting my sony erricsion 580i to my ubuntu laptop through cable but there is no activity in ubuntu but when i connect the cable to computer phone asks that whether connect as file i selected file but it dosent work in my ubuntu [00:40] can any budy help me [00:40] Let me paste the last couple lines of my sudoers file.... [00:40] or a better question is, is there a way to install my nVidia drivers through a GUI or something? [00:41] It might just be that I missed something.... [00:41] blizzardman1219_: can you kill all your wpa_supplicant windows? [00:41] ctrl-c [00:41] billenium: System > Admin > Restricted Drivers Manager [00:41] blizzardman1219_: If you don't have any open instances of wpa_supplicant, then run `sudo rm /var/run/wpa_supplicant/wlan1' [00:41] It says i dont need any restricted drivers :\ [00:41] I thought there was some program... [00:41] ok, stupid question #1,098,874---How do I enable the emerald theme manager? [00:42] !repeat [00:42] 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 [00:42] mib_ih7x99: ok done [00:42] !repeat | theFATMAN [00:42] mib_ih7x99: Well, I'm certainly no visudo expert, but I don't understand why it doesn't work on my system to save to sudoers.tmp. That's why I've always saved directly to sudoers but maybe I'm missing something here. [00:42] theFATMAN: please see above [00:42] billenium: stop repeating yourself :-P [00:42] good grief... [00:42] Steve-cal: here is what the last couple lines look like: # Members of the admin group may gain root privileges [00:42] %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL [00:42] # john ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown [00:42] #add /usr/bin/tpb [00:42] Cmnd_Alias CMDS_AS_ROOT = /usr/bin/tpb [00:42] john ALL = NOPASSWD: CMDS_AS_ROOT [00:42] io__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:43] mib_ih7x99 oh the irony... [00:43] sorry, I'll get the canoes :-) [00:43] billenium: yup [00:43] billenium: let it go [00:43] mib_ih7x99: what do i do now? [00:43] blizzardman1219_: can you run the 'rm' command I gave you? [00:43] mib_ih7x99: i did... [00:44] ok, now run the wpa_supplicant command again (without the -dd) [00:44] and cross your fingers! [00:44] Steve-cal: Well, I dunno what to tell you--if your method works, then use it! :-) [00:45] mib_ih7x99: just ask your question in a single line and put the details in a pastebin. If this is impossible, then you should probably ask a mailing list or forum instead. I don't think mutt is obscure at all [00:45] io__: When you ran "tpb", did you run it "sudo tpb"? You still have to run it with sudo, it just won't ask for a password. [00:46] didn't know that..... [00:46] hang on [00:46] Thank god! someone in a room to answer a simple question [00:46] Steve-cal: You close visudo and it checks and writes. sudoers.tmp is a lock file [00:46] How do you get USB headsets to work with Ubuntu 8.04? I have tried changing the device through the volume control but that does not work... [00:46] jrib: sorry, I shouldn't have used the word `obscure' -- at any rate, it's not a given that the people awake in here know about mutt [00:46] the local irc's didn't have a souls in to answer a question [00:46] blizzardman1219_: any luck? [00:47] !patience [00:47] The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [00:47] mib_ih7x99: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14675/ [00:47] Flannel: So the proper way to do it is write to sudoers.tmp, and if it doesn't complain, then exit and sudoers.tmp will become sudoers? [00:47] Steve-cal: that worked..... [00:47] mib_ih7x99: it failed :/ [00:47] anyone know how to disable the titlebar of background windows from becoming transparent? [00:47] blizzardman1219_: Bother. Lemme have a look at your paste [00:47] ok, stupid question #1,098,874---How do I enable the emerald theme manager? [00:47] mib_ih7x99: it really doesn't matter though. What you want is someone that can answer your question, not someone that knows about mutt. This is what happens and why it's discouraged: Anyone know about X? I do. Do you know how to do Y in X? nope. If you just ask "Does anyone know how to do Y in X", you have the same information with less traffic [00:47] I am new to this ubuntu thing... and need an answer to a simple question........ [00:47] io__: So you're all set, right? If you're sure sudo is working, then it is safe to close visudo now. [00:48] do any of you guys know if ubuntu supports the creative Xfi sound cards ? [00:48] Steve-cal: Just exit, and when it asks, yes, save. [00:48] Curious1, whats up? [00:48] in order to use a/v programs, do i need anyhitng other than ubuntu on my system as the root OS? [00:48] jrib: Point taken. [00:48] great. So the way to do it is to first add the "Cmnd_Alias CMDS_AS_ROOT = /usr/bin/tpb" and then.... [00:48] Curious1. clarify A/V use [00:49] Can anyone help with USB headsets? [00:49] blizzardman1219_: Well, I'm afraid that I'm out of ideas. Sorry I couldn't help... [00:49] such as vegas8 and ripping, audioion/cool edit pro [00:49] system keeps locking up all the time too.. Is there a way to just make apt reinstall everything regardless? [00:50] io__: No, if you need to add additional commands/programs to run without a password, just add them to the Cmnd_Alias line like I showed you earlier. [00:50] mib_ih7x99: you got me this far! i appreciate all the help you've given me... hopefully i'll get this eventually [00:50] blizzardman1219_: Well, best of luck! [00:50] Steve-cal and others: Thanks much. one last question: This will only allow /usr/bin/tpb yes.. [00:51] Curious1, if ubuntu can't host an app, either dual boot or run wine or vmware or virtualbox [00:51] the reason I ask is that someone pointed me towards "wine" database, but that's not just ubuntu [00:51] Steve-cal: just missed what you typed.... thanks. [00:51] Can anyone help with USB headsets? [00:51] crippler, wats up? [00:51] theFATMAN: http://openswitch.org/2008/04/28/how-to-enable-emerald-in-hardy-heron-804/ [00:51] legend2440, dude, you rock [00:51] Does anyone know how EnvyNG is gonna update his driver (ATi)? [00:51] 95% of my progs are there on the wine DB list... so i'll need wine too? [00:52] Curious1: some might have native linxu versions === Varka_ is now known as Varka [00:52] *linux [00:52] Curious1, yes if you cant find an equivalent to it [00:52] theFATMAN, I am trying to get my Logitech USB headset working with Ubuntu 8.04 and changing the device through the volume control doesn't seem to work [00:52] Flannel: I guess I just prefer to keep my sudoers open while I test it, then it is easy to change it if I need to, or if I made any mistakes that aren't caught as syntax mistakes. [00:52] io__: You're welcome. :) [00:52] LOL. Why is this? a file is conflict with itself?? http://rafb.net/p/V5Iv3923.html [00:52] Alsar: EnvyNG updated my ATI driver. Worked pretty well. [00:52] Crippler, have you checked the restricted drivers or logitech.com? [00:53] xodiak: Does it install 8.5? [00:53] Crippler, does your usb work otherwise? [00:53] thanks fatman and starnes [00:53] blizzardman1219_: ttyl, good luck! :-) [00:53] theFATMAN, My mouse is... [00:53] question answered. :) [00:53] could someone take a look at this and tell me if my load cycles are too high or not? http://pastebin.com/m621bab [00:53] hi - im wondering if anyone here has an S3 savage graphics chipset - im having trouble getting mine working [00:53] crippler .....is? [00:53] theFATMAN, working.. [00:54] blizzardman1219_, i didnt scroll back the last several hours to see what card you have, whats the chipset? [00:54] Alsar: I may have missed something. Not sure about the 8.5 [00:54] roycruse: hmm I had one... POS really... :) [00:54] SeaPhor: it's a D-Link WUA 2340 [00:54] bye all [00:54] crippler, then it is the drivers, goto logitech.com first, then look in the restricted drivers [00:55] xodiak: Well I already used EnvyNG to install my drivers, I was just wondering how that the driver update (notification) will be done :) [00:55] Steve-cal: You can't keep it open, the syntax errors are checked when your editor closes [00:55] http://pastebin.com/m56177d2a any ideas on what my compiling problem is? [00:55] Steve-cal: By saving to sudoers, you're effectively opening it straight, without visudo [00:56] What I learned about ubuntu: Don't try to compile stuff on it - it is not worth the trouble [00:56] Alsar: Sorry wish I could be more help. I just know before EnvyNG, my display was all messed up. only 800 X 600. Now I can go full res with Extra Visual effects. [00:56] haha, i'm getting the feeling nothing on ubuntu is worth the trouble ;P [00:57] ariqs: some people like having to do things with twice the effort [00:57] hi there [00:57] anyone here using hamachi ? [00:57] Flannel: OK I see what you are saying now. It would be nice if visudo would do the syntax check without having to actually close out the file. Your way is obviously the official way to do it, but keeping it open like I do just makes me responsible for catching my own syntax errors. :) [00:58] ariqs: you know, you'd save a lot of headaches by just buying a proper modem :) [00:58] Steve-cal: if it did that, it'd have to have its own editor [00:58] how can i see my windows hard drive in ubuntu live? === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [00:58] ariqs: I have experience trying to get winmodems to work on Linux. I finally gave up and got some proper hardware... Never regretted it :) [00:59] noob7210: isn't it at "My Computer" under places? [00:59] the vmware dont work at ubuntu 8? [00:59] I'm using a win modem on this box too. I had to compile the drivers for it as well. however, these drivers actually compiled right [00:59] Flannel: True, but I wouldn't mind if nano were just integrated directly into visudo, as I don't care for vi anyway. [00:59] no im runig ubuntu live 7.1 [00:59] I never have a few hardware modems, but they're not as stable online [01:00] cant see my windows drives [01:00] never - even [01:00] I end up getting knocked off and it pisses me off. Software modems are better [01:00] Flannel: But choice is what it's about, so vi people can use visudo too. [01:00] hmmm... I'm getting 11 load cycles every 26 minutes... that's a bit high, no? [01:00] Steve-cal: People who administer large systems with complicated sudoers probably love the advanced features of vi [01:00] ariqs: funny, my experience is just the opposite. [01:01] then again, currently I don't even have a modem :/ [01:01] direct ethernet to socket in wall :) [01:01] Flannel: i tried doing as you said - Installed gcc and g++ 4.1, then I did export CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.1, but now I get this error: http://rafb.net/p/V5Iv3923.html [01:01] I don't have that option living in the boonies [01:01] can somebody help me with realkek high definition 5.1 surround spdif coaxial i can just listen for 2 channels_ [01:01] ariqs: I think you'll just have to wait for the new kernel version. [01:01] ? [01:01] ariqs: I mean, the restricted-modules package === Hardcore is now known as Eyeye [01:01] knew what you meant [01:02] Flannel: That's true, but for dinky and simple sudoers files like mine, it's fortunately not an issue. [01:02] pgi1: try rmoving the -4.2 ones (with --purge, or "complete removal" in synaptic) [01:02] apt-get --purge g++-4.2 ?

[01:05] my wireless is not detecting networks [01:05] noob7210: it's used for mount data, such as which options to use for each partition and what to mount on startup [01:05] hi: you can launch it through the terminal, like alsamixer [01:05] hello. What is 'Printing Notification Icon' under Other? I click on it, and nothing happens [01:05] arecord in consle brings up a lot of foreign characters, so i assume it is [01:05] noob7210: It tells the system where all your partitions are, and what it should do with them [01:05] noob7210, it mounts all the hard drives... so search in google howto mount partitions [01:05] my wireless was working fine last evening and stopped detecting networks, how do i fix that?

I closed the shell and reopened (to update the environment) but now g++ doesn't exist, do I need to manually create the symlinks? [01:10] Alsar, then what?

[01:12] yes :) [01:12] nothing changes,both on full [01:13] pgi1: reinstall build-essential, remove the -4.1 packages. That's what you should have if you install build-essential, so we'll go with that. We'll try and figure out the original errors, since we're starting to stray from regular systems. [01:13] Alsar: both on full now with headphones in, i can hear myself when i speak right next to the microphone [01:13] hmm but also my typing is quite loud [01:14] if ubuntu is so easy to use, why are there so many problems [01:14] iptttt: Which problems are you having? [01:14] it's not compatable with all hardware [01:14] iptttt, because some times people dont stop playin with the system [01:14] wifi, and no good apps [01:14] i don't use usunbut anymore [01:14] ubuntu( [01:15] Alright guys and gals.

This is the ubuntu support room [01:16] i love ubuntu.... just doesn't have all my pro apps i need. [01:17] iptttt, what u need... [01:17] iptttt: For non-support chat, please see #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. [01:17] is there any script for auto mounting? :) [01:17] Hello [01:17] is XGL enabled by default yet? [01:17] noob7210: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [01:17] 7.1 live [01:17] I am having some issues with update manager and add/remove progs [01:17] noob7210, man learn how to mount partitions with fstab [01:18] I try and use either and they freeze up [01:18] noob7210: You may want to try 8.04, but I believe 7.10 should mount windows partitions automatically. If not.... [01:18] !ntfs | noob7210 [01:18] noob7210: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [01:18] gosmack, in terminal sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get update, if u continue having problems chance source [01:18] k [01:19] thanks [01:19] i'll try that [01:19] Hello Ubuntu heads! === tony_ is now known as Weng [01:19] gosmack, i would change sources first [01:19] If I add more RAM to my system hardware configuration do I need to re-install the OS to take full advantage of it? [01:19] cathartia, no [01:20] Flannel: thx it worked [01:20] HI everyone [01:21] I'm running 8.04 on a laptop that previously ran 7.10 flawlessly. However, under 8.04, my memory usage sitting at the desktop, doing nothing, straight out of the box, is over 300mb [01:21] lnar: back in the day we used to have to configure a swap partition with size proportional to the RAM size. [01:21] lnar: for linux swap [01:21] On a laptop with only 512mb of RAM and a small swap partition, this is a huge problem. [01:22] (especially because Firefox 3 is a hog and eats entire villages for breakfast, before starting on my RAM) [01:22] Weng: Unused RAM is wasted RAM, Linux loads up stuff into RAM that it thinks will be useful. It'll go away if you need it for something else. [01:22] OK - even with gcc-4.1.3, I am getting: /cstdlib:122: error: ‘::malloc’ has not been declared - If I look at the file (/usr/include/c++/4.1.3/cstdlib) on line 122, the line is: 'using ::malloc;' So - why does G++ fail on it's own headers? [01:22] Weng - yeah. I have reverted to ff2. Wasn't keen on the beta. [01:22] how to get .config for ubuntu kernel [01:22] cathartia, swap doesnt need to be of a certain size depending on ram, it depends on how much more space of work ull need so the system works fine [01:23] Flannel: That's great in theory, but at least 3x a day I hit 100% RAM, 100% swap and everything goes to hell. [01:23] Weng: sounds like you need more rams [01:23] cathartia, i have 2 gb ram, and dont need much more, so my swap is only 512 mb just in case i need more [01:23] Weng, you could try xubuntu [01:24] how can i tell if i have my video card drivers installed or not? [01:24] Hey I need to get up tomorrow at 4 am for this new job and NEED some application that will wake me any reccomendations? [01:24] I'm getting ata2.00 errors on hardy. I've updated my bios, but they persist, even with the acpi=force switch. I haven't found anything that explains / resolves my problem yet. Anyone else have this problem? [01:24] i have a nvidia tnt 2 card (pretty old) [01:24] can u read this? [01:24] Weng: turn off effects, and fast user switcher [01:24] I have to go to bed soon so it cant take forever to install either i just need something. [01:24] haha, yea lnar, but isnt there some kind of secondary drivers i should install for nvidia? [01:25] Flannel: Done both long ago. [01:25] !ata [01:25] Factoid ata not found [01:25] !ata2.00 [01:25] Factoid ata2.00 not found [01:25] i know there used to be for older ubuntu releases, some kind of graphics acceleration or something [01:25] Weng: 300MB seems abnormally high [01:26] newt: you in the room? [01:26] morning all [01:26] there we go, hehe sorry about the joke... system : adm : there is a drivers tool there [01:27] any ideas i need some apt getable app that will wake me up in 8 hours or so for work...? [01:27] I dont mean to be persistant im just in a rush to get to bed. [01:27] weix, use your cellphone [01:27] weix: You could just use cron [01:27] !ops | sdgsdgdgs [01:27] sdgsdgdgs: Help!

[01:27] Flannel: FloodBot handled it [01:28] lnar: ok, it says i have the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver installed.. guess im good, its just very slow and laggy, even when i play the Gnometrics game [01:28] Amaranth: He took a while [01:28] Flannel, i used to use xmms and xmms-alarm [01:28] wtf is console-kit-daemon and why does it have several screenfulls of processes? [01:28] oh well, gues its the price i pay for installing on an ollddd pc [01:28] How do I do a clean install (I already have ubuntu installed and I want to completely wipe it out)? [01:28] Flannel, but they seem to have omitted those from the hardy repo's [01:28] Flannel: No he didn't, it was two different people [01:28] 64 mb?

[01:29] is there some sort of keycode viewer in ubuntu? [01:29] can someone tell me how to print a list of open ports and the relevant ip addresses? [01:29] How important is the ubuntu-desktop package? If I remove it, will it affect upgrading my system? [01:29] james__ sudo netstat -tlpn [01:30] !ubuntu-desktop | ghindo [01:30] ghindo: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. [01:30] ghindo for upgrade, yes [01:30] ghindo, no no problem but why u want to delete it? [01:30] ghindo: It'll affect you moving to the next version of Ubuntu (although when you update, update-manager will take care of it). It will have no affect on your system. [01:30] does anyone know how i could get those .debs for xmms and xmms-alarm for hardy??? [01:30] lnar: I don't want to delete it, but I want to get rid of Openoffice and GIMP, which are part of Ubuntu-desktop [01:30] is there some sort of keycode viewer in ubuntu? [01:31] ghindo, no problem go ahead [01:31] jrib, nickrud, lnar, Flannel: Thanks! [01:31] Hi, im trying to altar the config file in /etc/X11 to make my wacom tablet work like a tablet, not just a mouse. I know what i need to put in, but i dont know how to use superuser or root. sorry if i sound new, its because i am :) any helpwould be appreciated [01:31] nickrud, that helpful but, it doesn't seem to show open connections, such as messenger, http, etc [01:31] Kungen354646 you can use xev , put the mouse in the window and press keys [01:31] james__ outgoing? leave out the l , which means listening [01:31] is there any documentation on what ubuntu 8.04 loads on bootup? [01:31] nickrud, ok [01:32] or what programs do what under the hood? [01:32] Like.. I have no idea what's running my wireless [01:32] or suspend [01:32] Pxrbot: in terminal gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:32] weix, did you try kalarm? [01:33] thanks legend :) how do i save the file in terminal? [01:33] If I want to upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy over ssh, what would be the best way to do so? It doesn't look like update-manager is happy with me doing it over ssh :/ [01:33] I still have the problem that my microphone isn't able to work on skype/audacity, but i can hear myself when i blow into it (very close to the mic) and no other times [01:33] i was wondering if anyone has used deborphan [01:33] !upgrade | ghindo [01:33] ghindo: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:33] Pxrbot: you don't you save it in gedit. you'll see [01:33] ghindo: Instructions on that page (well, the Hardy page), you end up using update-manager-core [01:33] ok, thanks again :) [01:33] i accidentally alt+f4'rd this window someone just said something to me can they resend pls?? [01:34] weix, kalarm [01:34] i was wondering if anyone has used deborphan, and is it safe to remove the packages it lists? [01:34] Thanks, Flannel :D [01:34] lnar, im running gnome... [01:34] weix, just install it, dont need to have kde to run it [01:35] lnar, is there a way to test it to make sure i can bet my job on it? [01:35] how do i use xev to log keypresses? [01:35] weix, here's xmms deb http://www.file-upload.net/download-817258/xmms_1.2.10-20070601-1build2_i386.deb.html [01:35] richiefrich: for the most part, yeah. If you have removed your ubuntu-desktop package, it may try and remove some stuff, just keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look like a library. But its usually good about it [01:36] weix, well configure it to ring in 1 min and see how it works [01:36] Alsar, great now i need to find xmms-alarm [01:36] How do I do a clean install (I already have ubuntu installed and I want to completely wipe it out)? [01:36] lnar, ok sweet ill take a look [01:36] Intertricity, hey... try bum [01:36] cathartia: Just reinstall over top [01:36] bum? === ademos is now known as AdemoS [01:37] link? that doesn't produce a healthy google search >_> [01:37] Flannel: ooh these are all libs :\ i am just trying to make room here i have the 8g eee and i keep getting disk full errors, so i am trying to clean up [01:37] Industrial, its a runlevel graphical editor [01:37] ahh found it, thanks :) [01:37] If I want to change a mount point of a drive I can just edit the fstab file to read have the new moutn point? [01:37] Industrial, no problem!!

[01:45] hello [01:45] cypha, i think theres no possible way to do so [01:45] Kungen354646 try showkey in a console; if it works there you probably need to change your keyboard config in prefs->keyboard [01:46] are you an experienced user saying you don't think so? [01:46] Any one know how to change nautilus settings [01:46] tigran did you install dmix for alsa? [01:46] does anyone know how to end the continuous loop of netstat -c without closing the terminal?

[01:48] nickrud, how do you set the partition as executable? [01:48] hisingh1 with a nautilus window open, edit->prefs [01:48] james__, for kernel all you have to do in terminal is lsb_release -a [01:48] also, is there any other way of running the programs installed on my windows partition from linux? [01:48] how can i mount the USB? [01:49] james__, for applications, im not sure. [01:49] through wine or some other way, perhaps [01:49] nickrud, [01:49] ramradz [01:49] cypha by giving it the right perms in fstab, for example: defaults,umask=007,gid=rich,uid=rich [01:49] cypha First, check the ownership by going to /media and doing a ls -la ... Then, do the following, replacing “yourPartition” with the name of the partition (e.g. /sdb1)... sudo chown -R username:username /yourPartition followed by... sudo chmod -R 755 /yourPartition ... Finally, check to see if it worked by doing another ls -la [01:49] alan_m, no lsb modules are available [01:49] ? [01:49] cn i gt b&? [01:50] 10 [01:50] cypha and running windows programs from the partition? No clue, I use a vm when I need windows stuff [01:50] how can i mount the USB? [01:50] virtual machine? [01:50] Alsar: My app froze. Did you say anything? [01:50] cypha virtualbox or vmware. Good for all but 3d stuff [01:50] so you are able to run the stuff you have ALREADY installed in the windows partition? [01:50] thanks Jack_Sparrow ,btw [01:51] np [01:51] which one do you prefer, virtualbox or vmware? [01:51] how can I extract the first column of a file and save it in another file using shell? and the add "Data Filed" at the start of every line in second file... [01:51] I'm getting ata2.00 errors on hardy. I've updated my bios, but they persist, even with the acpi=force switch. I haven't found anything that explains / resolves my problem yet. Anyone else have this problem? [01:51] tigran, no, but did you try to type in a terminal "pkill pulseaudio" and then restart both your apps to see if the sound works then? [01:51] cypha no, I have an install there. I've heard it can be done. I've only used vmware, got it working and use it a couple times a month [01:51] cypha: virtualbox [01:51] thanks abcdef [01:51] abcdef, any idea of how i can run the software already installed on my windows partition? [01:52] Alsar: that works [01:52] cypha: wine [01:52] alan_m, I think i'm looking more for events such as success and failures. Any ideas? [01:52] So I recently setup a VPN into my work, and the VPN connects all good and stuff; but after i am connected the only DNS resolution I can get is for servers at work, nothing outside the work network though... what logs can i watch to see what is going on? [01:52] james__, no need for lsb modules when your getting release information like distriution and such. [01:52] cypha /join #winehq [01:52] Alsar: Do I have to do that every time or was that just a test? [01:52] wine can run things already installed, abcdef? [01:52] cypha: also check winedoors and PlayOnLinux, for details I can give you links [01:52] can you pm them to me abcdef? [01:52] cypha: ya, sure, why not? I run my counter strike [01:53] aargh! the fn-key is not registered at all it seems... [01:53] james__, system log under system->administration->system log [01:53] tigran, it's a bug already reported on launchpad, for now you'll have to do it every time when you boot up your pc if you do not wish to mess with pulseaudio and the dependency of ubuntu-desktop :) [01:53] james__, have you tried this? [01:53] Has anyone run Turbo Tax program under Wine? [01:53] Does anyone use Firebug 1.2 w/Firefox 3.0rc1 on linux? I'm asking before I ask because I'm doubtful anyone does. [01:53] I've tried to get "open with text editor" on firefox 3.0rc1 working with bluefish, my text editor. it just won't launch [01:53] cypha: well this isn't my registered nick, that is ^root^, which I can't used right now as I am also looking for help, and that is pain in ___ to type.. [01:53] alan_m, no, will do [01:53] jwormy, try setting dns server manually for the vpn connection [01:53] sevard i thought firebug doesn't work with firefox 3 yet? [01:53] lol abcdef [01:53] alan_m, how would you describe dmesg? [01:54] usser: to what? [01:54] hi: I'm using FireBug 1.2, which is working with Firefox 3.0rc1 [01:54] jwormy, only dns resolution doesnt work? can u ping something outside your work network by ip? [01:54] Alsar: Hey I'm sorry. It froze again. I don't know what going on. I saw you said something tho. [01:54] james__, honestly never used it. [01:54] usser: actually i can ping 'www.google.com' [01:54] what are the ubuntu sources equivelent of sid? [01:54] tigran, it's a bug already reported on launchpad, for now you'll have to do it every time when you boot up your pc if you do not wish to mess with pulseaudio and the dependency of ubuntu-desktop :) [01:54] usser: and a lot of sites i've been to already today [01:54] jwormy, right so?

The system log is somewhat helpful, although I don't know what many of the messages mean [01:55] Alsar: Alright. Thats not that big of an annoyance knowing it will be fixed. [01:55] Alsar: Thanks [01:55] tigran, no problem [01:55] jwormy, for vpn u using networkManager?

You're welcome to try, but just know its not supported, nor will it work forever.

[02:04] jwormy, right, try putting 167.206.254.1 instead [02:04] sbingner, its an automatic ban on whatever causes the trigger to floodbot...unless we code floodbot differently thats how its gonna happen :) === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [02:04] no worry, apparently that guy just left [02:05] usser: what about keeping them both? [02:05] Can anyone walk me through reducing my USB 2.0 to USB 1.0 on 8.04 64 server [02:05] jwormy, yea that'd work just put the one i gave u on top for now [02:05] jwormy, i just want to see if it'll work [02:05] usser: ok; hereeeee goes [02:05] * jwormy holds on for teh ride [02:05] jwormy, hehe, nothing crazy should happen [02:06] <__mikem> jwormy: i am afraid you are not tall enough to experience this attraction.

[02:08] usser: yeah me niether; but it does... i connect via name [02:09] jwormy, hm.. can u ping google.com right now? [02:09] ripps: which ati card you got? [02:10] usser: sure can't. [02:11] Anyone know anything about getting an ATI Radeon 9250 working in Ubuntu? === UdontKnow is now known as \0 [02:11] do you know if it is supported by the open source driver? [02:11] I've tried the tutorials that I've found on Google and have succeeded only in messing up my install.. lol [02:11] my sound volume is very low, even when everything is turned up to 100% [02:11] jwormy, hm... right, delete my server then, i suggest go into your routers status page and see what dns it uses and put that one there instead the one i gave you [02:12] 10-4 doin it [02:12] <__mikem> LastKnight02: its probably easier than getting the new nvidia cards to work with ubuntu [02:12] LastKnight02: [02:12] I do. [02:12] ProwL: How? LOL. [02:13] http://digg.com/api/diggthis.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdigg.com%2Fpolitics%2FBring_Back_the_Fairness_Doctrine# [02:13] (In other news, I got my Hauppauge WinTV card working.. lol) [02:13] suggested text editor for ubuntu anyone? [02:13] Xsploit, gedit works great :) [02:13] i use gedit [02:13] Xsploit: gedit? SciTE? vim? nano? [02:13] im wondering if anyone can tell me where i can find these desklets, http://kisain.deviantart.com/art/hacktoday-31493353 [02:14] <__mikem> Xsploit: nano [02:14] Hello guys, could someone help me with mozilla thunderbird, im having problems configuring it for hotmail. [02:14] <__mikem> unless you want gui, in which case gedit [02:14] you forgot emacs :P [02:14] (ftl) [02:14] <__mikem> emacs sucks [02:14] similar to editplus ? [02:14] Xsploit: try kompozer [02:14] punkk, hotmail is a hard one to configure for (I think you have to pay microsoft for something right?) [02:15] ns [02:15] wysiwug? no thanks [02:15] Xsploit use bluefish [02:15] Xsploit: kompozer isn't WYSIWYG, or rather, doesn't have to be. [02:15] I love bluefish [02:15] use quanta plus [02:16] alan_m, Thanks. Does anyone know of a email app program that is compatable with hotmail. [02:16] Hi, quick question. Can procmail, run on my local machine, sort email through IMAP, on a remote server? [02:16] How can I permanently disable USB autosuspend? [02:16] punkk: none are [02:16] in kde I have the panel at the top of the screen, but it still puts my desktop icons behind it, how do I fix that? [02:16] Windows live mail is :-) [02:16] punkk; you have to use a utility called getlive [02:16] gedit seems file [02:16] ethan961, no. [02:16] alan_m. was someone inquiring about hotmail through a client? [02:16] james__, yes [02:16] james__, punkk [02:16] <__mikem> hotmail = fail [02:16] http://enigmaengine.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/bring-back-the-fairness-doctrine/ [02:17] hmm is there a line counter option in it? [02:17] punkk: hotway, hotsmtp, or gotmail. [02:17] alan_m, that sucks, cuz you have to pay now. No more hotmail on your own terms [02:17] since when did live mail have pop support. [02:17] ethan961 is it just hotmail that isnt compatable. or is gmail and others not either [02:17] punkk: Those are scrapers that'll allow you to POP from hotmail [02:17] flannel, thanks [02:17] usser: alright; added the dns server from my router settings [02:17] usser: connected to vpn; but still same issue =\ [02:17] ethan961: only a long time ago, with some accounts grandfathered in [02:17] fdfs [02:17] i know, the ones that supported webdav [02:17] I use comcast mail with evolution, I love it [02:17] LastKnight02: i have left you a pm with directions for your radeon card. [02:17] jwormy, hm... and if settings left as they were it works? [02:18] jwormy, i mean does it connect alright with old settings? [02:18] use gmail with imap? [02:18] punkk: just hotmail/live mail, because microsoft is too cheap to proveide POP access, which gmail, yahoo mail, and AOL mail all provide [02:18] gmail is crap [02:18] can i play protected itunes music in linux [02:18] gmail+imap is pwn [02:18] joe_chat: nope [02:18] haha gmail is crap lolz [02:18] <__mikem> ethan961: you know its bad when even aol is doing a better job than you are [02:18] !offtopic [02:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:18] lo, yeah [02:18] lol [02:18] * alan_m backspaces and looks at flannel :) [02:19] can i decript protected itunes music in linux [02:19] I say that because your data becomes their data [02:19] anyone else getting the libxcb "Locking assertion failed." with java apps [02:19] your inbox is pwned [02:19] joe_chat: yes [02:19] usser: yeah it connects alright with the old settings [02:19] suggestion? [02:19] joe_chat: not directly in linux, no. [02:19] ethan961 so u can setup thunderbird and evolution to work with gmail then, just anything but hotmail. (without scraper) Thanks you guys [02:19] atleast my mails are all synched whereever I go [02:19] Do people still use POP mail? [02:19] jwormy, i dont understand then [02:19] it seems to connect fine and i can view the servers at my work in teh browser... [02:19] Yes, for some reason [02:19] usser: me niether that's why i am here =) [02:20] jbroome: weird. pop's terrible [02:20] usser, did you try all TB plugins? [02:20] punkk: pretty much anything other than hotmail. including gmail, which does one better thsn POP, if provides IMAP [02:20] Flannel: actually, you can [02:20] Flannel: google requiem [02:21] ProwL: Check your PMs. LOL === NW2190 is now known as nw2190 [02:21] hmm, wonder what the EULA is for gmail [02:22] hehe [02:22] <\0> james__: you had to accept it when you created the account [02:22] can someone confirm that this works: ps -eo pid | tail -n +2 | xargs -d \n kill -9 ? I've been trying to get it to work and can't [02:22] ethan961 imap is cool [02:22] <\0> james__: check the footer of the page [02:22] It's supposed to find all the zombie processes and kill them [02:22] it is [02:22] imap is pwn [02:23] \0 I don't have gmail [02:23] LastKnight02: I apologize but I don't see any messages from you. [02:23] * ethan961 is a co-host of a podcast, we can organize easily With imap [02:23] just wondering what the EULA says [02:23] oorza: You want us to kill our processes? [02:23] james__: ``We ownz all your data!'' :-) === abcdef is now known as ^root^ [02:23] ProwL: No worries. I was just saying that I have had one heck of a time trying this before.. The radeon drivers don't like me. [02:23] <\0> james__: lucky you :) the link at the footer of the gmail.com webpage goes to it [02:23] <__mikem> james__: the eula doesn't have any hidden surprises in it. I read it. you should be good. [02:23] Steve-cal: I was told it would find zombie processes and kill them, and I keep having scripts die on me and zombify [02:23] james__: But more seriously it's pretty decent. Still don't trust it... :-) [02:23] It's a PCI graphics card which, for some reason, makes me think it might be my fault for buying it. [02:24] LastKnight02: ahh man its pretty sweet. it works flawlessly if you configure your xorg. You're more than welcome to see my xorg.conf. [02:24] I'm getting ata2.00 errors on hardy. I've updated my bios, but they persist, even with the acpi=force switch. I haven't found anything that explains / resolves my problem yet. Anyone else have this problem? [02:24] james__: did that blizzard fellow ever get his wifi working? [02:24] I don't trust major monopolies that broker out data services..... [02:24] You got the 9250? [02:24] LastKnight02: I have a couple of 9200's. [02:24] <^root^> /msg NickServ IDENTIFY [02:24] Yeah, what's your xorg look like? [02:24] mib_3gx9gj, not sure, he left a while ago [02:25] frustrated [02:25] LastKnight02: Just a moment while I upload it to pastebin. [02:25] No worries. [02:25] james__: yeah, thought so--didn't see him. btw, would you know anything about client-side imap filtering? [02:25] maybe, a bit, I'm only an overachieving help desk pawn [02:25] haha [02:26] how can i see what modules are loaded? [02:26] hi anybody know how to add "places" to the menulist in xfce... i am creating my own already but i don't know the command [02:26] well, I'm trying to get mutt working with my various IMAP accounts (3 on 2 servers, neither with server-side filtering) [02:26] Kungen354646, lsmod [02:26] oorza: Maybe you should look at the man page for ps, because I don't think ps -eo pid finds zombies--that command prints all processes' pids I think. [02:26] usser: thanks [02:26] mib_3gx9gj, hold please [02:26] james__: sure :-) [02:28] james__: well, I've gotta run, but I'll be back in a bit [02:28] ubuntu rox :) [02:28] hi everyone, i don't think this is a common question, but how can i uninstall ubuntu? [02:28] mib_3gx9gj, ok man [02:28] I should have some info when you get back [02:28] Im still tring to learn ubuntu [02:28] Busybyeski, do you have it dual booted? [02:28] yes, with vista [02:29] my sound volume is very low, even when everything is turned up to 100% [02:29] Busybyeski, did you use Wubi or no? [02:29] i don't recognize that name [02:29] james__: thanks! (it looks like I could get what I want with pop and procmail, but I want IMAP's sync features...) anyway, ttyl [02:29] grub is my bootloader [02:29] oorza: Where did you get that whole string of commands? It looks suspiciously bogus to me. [02:29] Busybyeski, its hard to remove ubuntu dual booted with another OS without really touching the other os's files. [02:29] ProwL: Are you getting my PMs? I'm starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my IRC client.. UGH [02:29] Busybyeski Just install any os you want over the top.. /join #windows if you have any questions about that [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: so i start over on my windows install as a result? [02:30] LastKnight02 pm's require the user to be registered [02:30] AHHH [02:30] Busybyeski, yes...unfortunately [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: i also don't have my windows disk, it came pre-installed on the machine [02:30] Remind me to do that.. lol.. it looks like I will be here pretty often. [02:30] LastKnight02: I am not recieving any messages from you. Are you perhaps registered with freenode's irc services, and or identified? (I wonder if such a thing would inhibit our conversation) [02:30] where can i find the synaptic package manager? [02:30] Busybyeski do you have windows now..? [02:30] yes, can i just create a rescue disk or something? [02:31] * alan_m lets jack help this one since aparently im not that experienced :) [02:31] i imagine yuou probably have a rescue partition to boot... hopefully you didn't erase it. [02:31] omg! how do i get my friggin fn-keys to work?? [02:31] :p i can take all the help in the world on this [02:31] Busybyeski yes, but you need to see the people in #windows.. as it isnt a support question. Nothing in Ubuntu will keep you from formatting the ubuntu partition === DBLobster is now known as U09526 [02:32] Busybyeski: do you have a recovery partition? [02:32] IndyGunFreak: yes [02:32] Xspoit: System > Admin > Synaptic Package Manager [02:32] Busybyeski, if you have a recovery partition, use it to re-image your computer and remove ubuntu and install windows with the settings it uses. [02:32] then whatever the hell youd id, i would use it to reinstall windows, then make another attempt at linux if you want [02:32] ANY XFCE heads in here? [02:33] my attempt at linux has moved to f9, the live usb is VERY handy for me [02:33] where can i find the synaptic package manager? [02:33] * alan_m always assumes users have no recovery partition..i guess i need to start assuming they do? [02:33] alan_m: no, cuz 90% of them don't have a clue its there or what it is [02:33] :) [02:33] but recovery partitions are far more common nowdays [02:34] i have it, but i'm not quite sure how to use it :\ [02:34] recovery partitions just takeup space xD [02:34] i kinda removed mine..but i have the cd's with drivers for windows...not that ill ever use it (thats offtopic i know..and im sorry.) [02:34] should the image have been created before ubuntu? [02:34] you probably need to boot it from your bios i do believe [02:34] i always erase mine, so i'm not sure [02:35] if i boot hard drive it always goes to the first partition [02:35] Anybody use xfce in here [02:35] ? [02:35] Busybyeski: no, there's a way you boot the recovery partition, i'm just not sure hwo to do it. [02:35] @Busy check bios for options [02:35] does any1 have any insight on the fn-key bug in 8.04? [02:35] ask chris420 the real question :) [02:35] Anyone know how much disk space a "standard" ubuntu server install will require? I plan to run it headless, no X, etc. [02:35] no none at all [02:36] how to add places plugin to the menu via menulist.xml [02:36] hi [02:36] i have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/159333 [02:36] Launchpad bug 159333 in grub "GRUB crash at startup ERROR 15" [Undecided,Incomplete] [02:36] Busybyeski, its one of the F keys F1-F12 I would assume.

[02:37] The garbage bin informs me it has 1 item inside it but hwen i open it 'empty' is greyed out. also when i right click and click empty it supposedly empties but still reports 1 item inside it [02:37] alan_m: it actually might be, the only one i use is F9, i'll take a peek now, thanks.

[02:47] it's skipping about every minute [02:47] and the volume is very low [02:48] my speakers are turned up all the way and so is the vol mixer [02:48] scort: it's a good idea to update all of them, but the packages most relevant to your symptom are in linux-image. [02:48] I have a small lan with linux servers, my ubuntu pc and XP boxes on it. I have a shared folder on a linux server which XP can read/write, but my Ubuntu pc only gets read access. I can't figure out why I don't have write access. The user/pass is the same on my pc and the file server. Where might the problem lie? [02:48] scort, increase alsamixer volume [02:49] Smegzor: chmod [02:49] anirudh0, its up to 100% already! [02:49] for everything [02:49] Is there anybody out there? If so, I'd like to change the setting on the font font size, if possible. How do I do that. Joaquin (Jack) [02:49] chmod what? 777 ? [02:49] Hey, how do I find the name of the kernel module that is controlling my ethernet card? [02:49] it doesnt show up in dmesg [02:50] Nitricacid: Perhaps http://www.ducea.com/2006/07/27/allowing-ftp-access-to-files-outside-the-home-directory-chroot/ will give you some idea [02:50] if i apt-get install wine and then apt-get remove wine, will it leave remnants in the linux "registry" or any random files? [02:50] Origin can you see something in lsmod [02:50] or does it cleanly install and unisntall everything? [02:50] epc1, gnome-appearance-properties [02:50] My application menu bar has deactivated.How can i activate it again ? [02:50] ntolo, right click on panel [02:51] Smegzor: try 755 [02:51] and add the "applications" applet [02:51] Smegzor: if that doesnt work try 777 [02:51] Smegzor, sudo chmod 777 * [02:51] sme [02:51] Smegzor, in the shared dir [02:51] Smegzor: NASlite [02:52] if i apt-get install wine and then apt-get remove wine, will it leave remnants in the linux "registry" or any random files? [02:52] cypha, it may, to ensure complete uninstall do apt-get remove --purge wine [02:52] cypha, yes [02:52] ohh, ok, for the config files [02:52] k [02:53] usser, for some reason even that does'nt work [02:53] cypha, oh and even --purge will not delete your virtual windows installation [02:53] dsmith_: I used to run a NAS, but at the time it was my only linux box and I wanted to play with linux. I put desktop ubuntu on there. Pure file servers are no fun :P [02:53] cypha, completely delete the .wine folder [02:53] Smegzor: ok.... :) [02:53] * LastKnight02 yawns [02:53] cypha: Linux doesn't have a registry as such. As for random files, if you use the --purge option it will remove any configuretion files it used. However even --purge wont remove files created in user's home directories after the initial application was installed. [02:53] ProwL: You still here? [02:53] any idea how to switch the default movie player from totem to xine in heron? [02:53] LastKnight02: I am. [02:53] It failed. [02:54] !defaultapp > bjb1959 (read the private message from ubottu) [02:54] Byron1, this is good except it doesn't help if i cant recognize the name :[ [02:54] genii, what are random files? [02:54] anirudh0, it removes system wide config files only everything that user created he should take care of himself i guess .wine folder is one of those cases u dont want to just be deleted [02:54] nothing pops out [02:54] genii, that sucks, there should be a database that tells how to properly remove all software [02:54] no? [02:54] Origin What are you trying to do? [02:55] anirudh0, like iTunes and other apps you installed with wine [02:55] cypha, NO, we dont need registry in linux! [02:55] <__mikem> anirudh0: random files are files generated by the command "cat /dev/urandom > somenewfile.bin" :) [02:55] anirudh0: "[21:52] if i apt-get install wine and then apt-get remove wine, will it leave remnants in the linux "registry" or any random files?" [02:55] usser, he probably wants to reuse some software whose license has expired...in that case .wine will have to go :) [02:55] any idea how to switch the default movie player from totem to xine in heron? [02:55] Byron1: pass an option to the module to get it to use 10Mbps, I have a crappy ethernet cable im trying to use [02:55] lol, anirudh0 that's not why [02:55] i just want to cleanly remove things [02:55] can I do that without the name? [02:55] __mikem, random noise is generated by cat /dev/urandom>/dev/dsp [02:55] <__mikem> anirudh0: yes, I know [02:56] <__mikem> its called whitenoise [02:56] cuz i hated that windows left poopy trails of things you uninstalled [02:56] <__mikem> yuck [02:56] makes for a great alarm clock [02:56] <__mikem> lol [02:56] !ot [02:56] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:56] * scort goes to reboot into the new linux kernel [02:56] ProwL: I'm stuck at 800 x 600.. lol [02:56] this shit better no fuck up my shit! [02:57] fits the bill perfectly , "random" chatter [02:57] scort: cat /foul/language > /dev/null [02:57] scort can spell! [02:57] too many cats [02:57] Origin415: please pastebin `lsmod' output [02:57] Origin I am not sure [02:58] bjb1959: I told you how [02:58] Hello all. Is there a way to get the GNOME menu to display when you right-click on the desktop (similar to Xfce/Fluxbox) [02:58] Origin what type of ethernet card do you have [02:58] brb [02:59] Arky44, dont think so ... [02:59] darn :P [02:59] jrib, you can't change the default dvd player that way.... only works if you have a file to click on, have done that a million times so I know what you meant but it doesn't work [02:59] http://pastebin.com/m68c4e899 [02:59] whats the most used webserver ? [02:59] <__mikem> apache [02:59] apache [02:59] Arky44, anyway...Alt+f1 is faster [02:59] bjb1959: you need to rephrase your question then so that it is clear what you are trying to do [02:59] Byron1: the onboard card for a nforce2 motherboard [03:00] anything using lighthttpd [03:00] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628296 Arky44 [03:00] anyone* [03:00] Origin415: rt2500pci [03:00] oh he left [03:00] crimsun, thats my wireless card [03:00] hi [03:00] anyone got a dydns service for hardy heron? [03:00] and its slow as crap from this distance I might add [03:00] Nitricacid, i do [03:01] homecable: Some sites are using apache for main servers and lighthttpd or thttpd for their download servers [03:01] hi all [03:01] yes Nitricacid [03:01] usser: is it easy to use? [03:01] bjb1959, hardcore way is to edit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list [03:01] Origin415: forcedeth [03:01] bjb1959: in any case, go to edit -> preferences in nautilus and look at the "media" tab [03:01] OK. in gutsy you changed the default MOVIE player in removable drives and media but someone in their wisdom (?) took that option away in Heron and now I can't seem to be able to change it [03:01] perhaps with a gui? [03:01] it is an freenoe community? [03:01] freenode [03:01] anyone using ubuntu-studio ? [03:01] no [03:01] Nitricacid, i have one of those routers that support dyndns, so i didnt have to setup anything in ubuntu itself but i heard theres is a script that supposed to be pretty easy [03:01] and give me their views? [03:01] jrib. edit preferences has either movie player, open nautilus or do nothing [03:01] bjb1959: what version of ubuntu? [03:02] Hardy Heron [03:02] can anyone suggest me most popular c++ ide? [03:02] crimsun, thanks [03:02] :D [03:02] gaurav, Kdevelop [03:02] Ectomorph, any specific issues or questions? or just chat [03:02] bjb1959: ah, I understand what you mean. gxine shows up if you install it [03:02] ok thnx [03:02] gaurav, u'd be pleasantly surprised [03:02] will do, Thanks. any way of using xine though? [03:02] but i have to configure it initially? [03:02] just enquiring about its usability as a media based OS [03:03] bjb1959: probably, but I don't know how offhand [03:03] will use gxine then [03:03] as a musician point of view [03:03] ProwL: I think I got it! [03:03] Ectomorph, ubuntu-offtopic is probably a better place to chat about this :) [03:03] i am using it but not able to compile plzz help!! [03:03] LastKnight02: I would be interested in what you did to solve your problem. [03:03] ok - thanks for the tip :) [03:03] Let me test one thing first. [03:03] i have problem [03:03] gaurav, not really no configuration is really necessary [03:04] The garbage bin informs me it has 1 item inside it but hwen i open it 'empty' is greyed out. also when i right click and click empty it supposedly empties but still reports 1 item inside it [03:04] I'm trying to install moinmoin, but I keep getting this error -> http://www.yurimxpxman.com/mywiki/ [03:04] then what is process of executing program in kdevelop [03:04] ? [03:04] !google|gaurav [03:04] gaurav: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [03:05] it is required for kdevelop? [03:05] ProwL: I sent you a PM. I'm hoping it works this time. lol [03:05] create a new c++ project and go to build->build [03:05] LastKnight02: I did not recieve any message. [03:06] ok then [03:06] gaurav, you might be better off with geany [03:06] gaurav, its easier for smaller projects [03:06] ok [03:06] gaurav, u have to have build-essential installed and autoconf too i beilieve [03:06] any way to have a kb shortcut for ALWAYS ON TOP without compiz? [03:06] after build [03:06] usser, they are kdevelop's dependencies [03:07] anirudh0, ah nvm i had some problems not being able to build qmake or cmake applications missing some deps [03:08] cypha, maybe...using gconf-editor..not sure though [03:08] i am getting error in kdevelop:( [03:08] gaurav, what error? [03:08] gaurav, what does it say? [03:08] error-exited with status :2 [03:08] anyone use wow with ubuntu 8.04? [03:08] i don't think you can do things like that with gconf, can u ? [03:08] anirudh0, [03:08] gaurav, pastebin the whole thing it says when u build? [03:09] yea [03:09] gaurav, pastebin the whole error message [03:09] So I created a new user, did not select "Administrator Access" or whatever, then deleted the original user. Am I screwed, IE Do I need to reinstall ubuntu? [03:09] where to paste usser [03:10] cypha you'd have to write a small script that toggled /apps/metacity/windows_keybindings/toggle_above gconf setting, gconftool is the command you'd be using [03:10] gaurav, pastebin.com and paste the link to it here [03:10] cd '/home/daman' && make -k [03:10] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [03:10] *** Exited with status: 2 *** [03:10] jrib, didn't work, I installed gxine but still just have 4 choices under nautilus properties for media. open with movie player, open folder, do nothing or ask what to do. any ideas? [03:10] this is error [03:10] nickrud, definitely don't know how to do that [03:10] does taht already exist? [03:10] bjb1959: restart nautilus? maybe run sudo update-desktop-database first? [03:10] usser,u know this? [03:11] cypha actually I'm dense. gconf-editor /apps/metacity/windows_keybindings/toggle_above , give that a key binding [03:11] endeavormac: No. You'll need to reboot, at GRUB (hit escape right after POST) select "recovery console", then add the user you have to the admin group. with usermod -G admin -a username [03:11] ohh [03:11] cool man [03:11] gaurav, did u create a new project from within kdevelop or was it a file u've been working on before? [03:11] nickrud, can i keep you [03:11] yea its file me wrking before [03:11] :) [03:11] cypha I claim the excuse of watching basketball [03:11] ok, thanks [03:11] yeah, it's finally a game! [03:12] last 2 games sucked past 2 days [03:12] Please excuse me [03:12] gaurav, its not gonna work that way, you'll have to go to project->new project from withing kdevelop [03:12] endeavormac: once you've done that, type 'init 2' and you'll finish booting like normal [03:12] hey all [03:12] new to ubuntu [03:12] alright, thanks [03:12] ok let me try usser [03:13] gaurav, have you tried reading the kdevelop manual ? [03:13] there is also error while opening [03:13] jrib, refreshing the database worked. if I changed all the totem references to xine in /etc/gnome/defaults.list and refreshed the database would that work? [03:14] Tomas_: good deal [03:14] bjb1959: heh, probably, but would be hacky. My guess is you need to add the right MimeType [03:14] now i have to make new file? [03:14] whats a good webserver to use ? [03:14] lighttpd. [03:14] homecable apache2 [03:14] gaurav, what? [03:15] homecable, apache is good [03:15] jrib, less hacky way of doing that? [03:15] homecable, for what purpose? [03:15] have to make new file or new project? [03:15] php cgi etc [03:15] Alguém sabe onde se pode obter apoio em Português? [03:15] confused very much [03:15] none of ide wrking properly [03:15] homecable am partial to tomcat [03:15] homecable, apache2 is pretty good for that but its personal user preference :) [03:15] homecable apache2 in ubuntu is pretty much install and forget, but there's tonnes of guides for doing things on the net [03:16] !pt | Soskel [03:16] Soskel: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [03:16] gaurav, sigh.... project->new project choose c++ simple hello world application give it a name click next next next [03:16] homecable, apache is good,but big...lighthttpd is not as full featured, but much smaller in size [03:16] ok [03:16] !who|gaurav, [03:16] gaurav,: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [03:17] ok [03:17] gaurav, http://www.docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdevelop/kdevelop [03:17] gaurav, do some homework before asking :) [03:17] hiho folks. We're trying to run an ubuntu box as a kiosk for a trade show, and we basically want to start firefox without any window manager. Is that possible? [03:17] !tab [03:17] You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:17] WobWork, yes...but you'll be pretty much stuck with firefox [03:17] olá, o que é uma ferramenta gratuita vmware eu posso instalar? [03:17] is there a way in xchat to turn off channel joins and channel leaves? [03:17] my workspaces are in line left to right, can i make it 2x2? [03:18] without compiz [03:18] anirudh0: That's fine =) [03:18] i'm not running compiz [03:18] WobWork, try using emerald with a transparent skin [03:18] WobWork, i mean your computer will be useless except for the firefox window [03:18] cypha sure, right click the window switcher (the boxes) and select how many rows to show in [03:18] anirudh0: how do you mean? All we need is the firefox functionality [03:19] yea , me did alot [03:19] WobWork, even alt+f2 wont do anything...you'll have to login again [03:19] WobWork, ok [03:19] anirudh0: aye, that's fine [03:19] nickrud, dude, i love you [03:19] cypha, dont we all? :) [03:19] usser,ok done.now build? [03:19] ok, follow up question, can i have programs autostart in certain workspaces on boot? [03:19] without saving the session [03:19] gaurav, build->build project [03:20] gaurav, to run build->run [03:20] cypha add them to system->prefs->session, then use devilspie to put them on particular workspaces [03:20] gaurav, build->execute program sorry [03:20] ok, so i need to get devilspie [03:20] cool [03:20] anirudh0: I was under the impression that we just had to replace a call to the windowmanager in one of the startup scripts to call firefox, but we're having problems finding precisely where in ubuntu it lies. [03:20] bilud,get error!:( [03:20] how do i install php in lighthhtpd ?

[03:25] DIL debian can be thought of as a class by itself because of it's development model. Closest in maturity and ubiquity would be redhat, I'd say [03:25] Jack_Sparrow is that it ? [03:25] how do i fix the resolution? I can't even read the bottom of some windows [03:25] usser ,already have that [03:25] hexoroid it that what?

[03:26] thanks nickrud [03:26] hexoroid build-essential and kernel-headers are the basics [03:26] usser,by using sudo apt-get install openssh-server build-essential [03:26] Sarah: fdisk /dev/sdb [03:26] Jack_Sparrow i think that was it so i suppose sudo apt-get build-essential [03:27] gaurav, right. nice [03:27] Sarah that's assuming you have a partition there, if not use cfdisk for it [03:27] 's easy interface [03:27] usser, now what to do bro [03:27] yes [03:27] nickrud cfdisk will list my partitions and stuff? [03:27] gaurav, now program [03:27] hehe [03:27] Sarah yes [03:27] gaurav, write code [03:27] nickrud, oh ok thanks [03:27] hexoroid or sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r` [03:27] usser,byhaving new file?

[03:28] what php do i install for lighttped [03:28] Sarah: if you want i GUI, use gparted or qtparted [03:28] php5-cil ? [03:28] i have a problem with mi hp 3740. when it's printing suddenly stop. could somebody help me please? [03:28] lirit: ok. sorry then... [03:28] Odd-rationale: thanks anyway [03:28] is there a command/key to bypass the trash and just delete it? [03:28] oh ok Odd-rationale i might try that [03:28] gaurav, right create whatever .h and .cpp files u need, paste the contents of the files that u already created before u started using kdevelop and try to build the whole thing [03:28] hexoroid you can substitute the # for the exact kernel instead.. [03:28] kindofabuzz: rm [03:29] anirudh0: Any ideas? [03:29] ok [03:29] bbyever: yeah i know that much, talking about gui. like shift+del in windows would just delete it [03:29] kindofabuzz, yes there is [03:30] ohh lol shift+del in linux too [03:30] kindofabuzz, hehe [03:30] Sarah: be sure the disk you are trying to format is not mounted. that will make things easier... [03:30] usser,yea builded now [03:30] Odd-rationale, ok thanks [03:30] kindofabuzz: yeah i was just trying that out [03:30] kindofabuzz, figured it out before i made a witty comment [03:31] hehe [03:31] * nickrud thinks usser is going out on a limb, funny comment when he can't spell user ;) [03:31] i spoke before i tried it [03:31] usser,builded now how to execute it? [03:31] weird, in windows i just deleted all the partitions and it said unallocated, in gparted it shows that whole space as linux-swap [03:31] gaurav, build->execute program [03:31] i need a right click command for that though [03:31] * usser :) [03:32] maybe hold shift and hit move to trash [03:32] shit,there is error [03:32] kindofabuzz: enable it in the file manager preferences [03:32] kindofabuzz you can enable that in gconf-editor, somewhere under /apps/nautilus [03:32] nickrud: thanks [03:32] Sarah: Windows thinks any partition type other than it's own should just be "unallocated" or sometimes "unknown" [03:32] etyrnal__ : You may want to right click on the main menu, select Edit Menus, and when the list comes up, check off Screens and Graphics under the "other" category. Hit that, and you should be able to set your resolution not onlyfor windows but thelogin sccreen as well. [03:32] james__: I'm back :-) [03:32] genii, oh ok [03:32] nickrud, kindofabuzz : it's in nautilus prefs, second tab too [03:33] astro76 yeah, I just found that. I'm still in the 'everything hidden from user' mode [03:33] got used to just looking in gconf for all my settings [03:33] astro76: thanks buddie [03:34] james__: you there? [03:35] I'm trying to sort mail (on an IMAP server without shell access or server-side sorting); my IMAP client is mutt. Anybody have any suggestions? [03:35] usser,cant able to execute [03:35] usser,any other app required for this? [03:35] gaurav, what does it say? [03:35] hmm in gparted i cant click anything like format or partition on this free space that i want to format [03:36] Hi all. This is my first time on irc.Just poped in to say hi [03:36] mib_3gx9gj probably not real helpful, but look for a different mail provider [03:36] Sarah: is it unmounted? [03:36] Odd-rationale, yeah [03:36] although in gparted it says status : active [03:36] nickrud: yeah, I wish :-) [03:36] stuck with this one [03:36] Evolution abd Balsa work in IMAP. [03:37] oh bother, gotta go take care of something [03:37] bbl [03:37] mib_3gx9gj I keep a dreamhost account just for my mail mainly [03:37] usser,aceept it [03:37] Robby1976: this is the official ubuntu support channel, for normal every-day chatter you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic. Welcome! _) [03:37] i can click 'swapoff' maybe i should? [03:37] i dont know what that is though [03:37] :)* [03:37] but since it lists it as linux-swap maybe it wont let me do anything because it thinks its swap [03:37] usser,accept the screensjhot [03:38] OK then. Sorry bout that. Will go and check out the other rooms. [03:38] Odd-rationale, i clicked swapoff and it says [03:38] gaurav, dont see any dialog [03:38] Odd-rationale, i clicked swapoff and it said deactivating swap on /dev/sda2 - now i can format it [03:38] usser,accept the screenshot and see [03:39] Sarah: ok. [03:39] gaurav, i cant im not registered thats why pbbl [03:39] ok [03:39] /bin/sh: konsole: not found [03:39] *** Exited with status: 127 *** [03:40] gaurav, oh strange, shouldnt do that oh well sudo apt-get install konsole [03:40] gaurav: You're running gnome or KDE? [03:40] gnome [03:40] usser,gnome [03:40] usser: Why would he want konsole then when he has terminal? [03:40] i heard gnome was better than kde [03:41] is that true? [03:41] !best | Qster [03:41] Qster: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [03:41] Qster: its a preference thing [03:41] Qster matter of taste [03:41] Qster We try to avoid those discussions as non-productive ina support room [03:41] genii, seems like an easy way out, its kdevelop i dont remember where u set the default apps there [03:41] Qster of course, my taste is impeccably gnome [03:41] what type of taste does kde have differ from gnome? [03:41] usser: Ah, OK [03:42] qster, kde is more graphically demanding [03:42] if i install thing separately instead of a package will they still get updated? meaning does apt-get update keep track of each library or packages or what? [03:42] Qster you should ask for comparisons in #ubuntu-offtopic [03:42] Qster Please /join #ubuntu-offtopic to continue discussing it [03:42] how can i forcibly break a process' file lock? in the same way as removing the volume containing the file, but without doing that. [03:42] ah ok thanks [03:42] Qster: kde is more unified. gnome is more modular. that is kind of evoer simplufied. but thats how I see it.. [03:42] hello all [03:42] Chrysalis yes [03:42] gaurav, actually wait dont do it [03:42] gaurav, cancel it [03:42] done [03:42] usser,and wow [03:43] gaurav, canceled? [03:43] usser,program executed [03:43] gaurav, aww, oh well [03:43] nickrud: yes as in checks each file or goes by packages? [03:43] usser,well done usser [03:43] usser,u r gr8 [03:43] gaurav, heh u're welcome [03:43] Chrysalis goes by packages, files are handled in groups by package [03:43] usser,thx u very much for this support [03:44] nickrud: so 'no' then ;p [03:44] usser, let me try to execute fresh program [03:44] Chrysalis well, libraries come as packages; what in particular were you interested in? [03:45] When I play Warsow or Sauerbraten or OpenArena, the game is slightly transparent, revealing the desktop below... [03:45] Of course I am running Compiz [03:45] nickrud, the ubuntu-restricted. . . was thinking of trying to bypass the java that comes iwth that and stick with the sun one [03:45] can ubuntu run cairo-dock? [03:45] Xaphoo, thats a feature not a bug [03:46] lol [03:46] theFATMAN yes, I use it here [03:46] theFATMAN, sure can [03:46] Xaphoo: then disable compiz. [03:46] usser,tell me one thing [03:46] gaurav, sure [03:46] Jack_Sparrow, why isn't it available in synaptic? [03:46] Is there no other solution? you'd think people would have worked this out by now [03:46] ah, you can choose the java you want to use with sudo update-alternatives --config java [03:46] usser,we have to make all fresh file under project [03:46] theFATMAN no idea, but was easy to install. [03:47] Jack_Sparrow, apt-get? [03:47] nickrud, hmm [03:47] gaurav, no to add file to the project is simple [03:47] Jack_Sparrow, any dependencies? [03:48] Chrysalis or, you can install each of the packages that are recommended, see the output of apt-cache depends ubuntu-restricted extras. Each of those packages will be updated independently [03:48] nickrud, there somewhere i can read up on that? its the first time i hear it. . . and ive yet to get flash and java to play nice [03:48] theFATMAN It was two packages... I dont think it had to pull in anything else [03:48] theFATMAN let me look at my link [03:48] Jack_Sparrow, can u recall--ok, thanks [03:48] Xaphoo: It's not such a complicated thing. just alt-f2 metacity --replace play game. When done alt-f2 compiz --replace [03:48] gaurav, file->new and just choose the type of file cpp or h u want to create and put a tick on add to project to [03:49] usser,i have wriiten a new program but it is showing output of previous project "hello world" [03:49] Chrysalis I installed sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin, then ran sudo update-alternatives --config java to select sun. Flash just Works for Me™ [03:49] gaurav, u have to rebuild the project, [03:49] usser,it is neccesaary to add file to project [03:49] ? [03:49] theFATMAN https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8724&release_id=14108 [03:49] @gaurav check project options [03:49] gaurav, i dont understand [03:49] nickrud, 32 or 64bit? [03:50] gaurav Please try /join #bash or whater you are trying to program in [03:50] Jack_Sparrow, thanks, you're boss in this! [03:50] usser,i mean it is neccesaary to add file to project cant execute withot adding that inti project [03:50] Chrysalis I've never seen any single place that explains all the alternatives, but you can install configure-debian to see all the alternatives you can set [03:50] theFATMAN let me know if you have a prob with it [03:50] when installing ubuntu on the partitioning section will it remove my windows? [03:50] jack,wat ru saying dude [03:51] gaurav, sigh adding what into project? [03:51] gaurav this is not the programming help room [03:51] gaurav, u had a hello world program === Nith is now known as nith [03:51] Ugh.. I'm hating my graphics card right now. [03:51] Jack_Sparrow, it says invalid security cert? [03:51] Moult: if you install it in the windows partition [03:51] Chrysalis 32, I installed firefox in a chroot for 64bit in gutsy but saw no reason to keep 64bit for hardy [03:51] user,yea [03:51] @Moult not, if you re careful enough ^^ [03:51] Jack_Sparrow, pointless...told him 'n' times already [03:51] theFATMAN acvcept it [03:51] ok [03:51] Moult: If you have a second HD use that [03:51] Moncky all i see are three options [03:52] my laptop display dims right at bootup [03:52] gaurav, u replaced this with your own code adding some files, cpp and h, so go to build->build project and build->execute program [03:52] ive tried appending acpi=off to the kernel, but it doesnt correct the issue [03:52] choose a disk amount, use all, or manual [03:52] but it really feels like an acpi issue and i dont know how to fix it [03:52] nickrud, the flash wrapper on 64 was eating all my memory and cpu, wouldnt shut off after i closed browser so i gave up and trying to get everything right on 32 now [03:52] any ideas which i want to pick if i want to dual boot? [03:52] !flash64 | Chrysalis (I used this irrc) [03:52] Chrysalis (I used this irrc): You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [03:52] @Moult whats wrong with grub? [03:53] tscolin, right at bootup, or when you log in? [03:53] gaurav, if building failed for some reason its not gonna create executable so when u click execute its gonna execute the old one [03:53] rumpel i just want to kno which to pick [03:53] right at bootup [03:53] gaurav, so my bet is that after u added your code build fails, so fix that semicolon [03:53] usser Feel free to help him in pm [03:53] Moult: how many hard drives do you have? [03:53] @Moult i have grub and i satisfies my needs [03:53] about 5 seconds after i hit the ubuntu load screen [03:53] usser,ok [03:53] Chrysalis that, or a ubuntuforums article that was extremely similar [03:53] Jack_Sparrow, I may be calling this the wrong name, is it kiba block? Is that something different? [03:53] Moult: Grub will be installed as part of the install process [03:53] theFATMAN kiba-dock [03:54] genii: your solution interacts badly with awn and other compositing-dependent widgets [03:54] * usser apologizes [03:54] np [03:54] theFATMAN, kiba-dock is an old dock for kde [03:54] rexy_: ive had this issue before w/ debian, and turning off acpi fixed it, (well hacked it :P) but the problem was no longer there [03:54] hey guys, I'm having trouble with my video drivers, I've tried everything. if anyone has a few mins, please pm me. im using ati [03:54] theFATMAN, but if all you want is a dock, why not try avant-window-navigator? [03:54] Jack_Sparrow, ohhhh--then what is it that enables the icon blocks you can drop on the screen? [03:54] Xaphoo: Unfortunately yes. [03:54] nickrud, yea, i tried that for my 64bit install, i am on 32 now. . . so just install ubuntu restricted, then sun java and then sudo update-alternatives --config java? [03:55] rexy_: however, acpi=off did nothing to correct this [03:55] theFATMAN No idea [03:55] tscolin, i've never had that issue, so i dont know [03:55] tscolin noapic ? [03:55] tscolin, not sure acpi has anything to do with the backlight adjustment [03:55] jack ill try it [03:55] but [03:55] tscolin that wont help with the backlight [03:55] Jack_Sparrow, son of a gun, i saw it in a youtube video, and it looked sick, but apparently they called it the wrong thing. [03:55] Chrysalis that's all I had to do, iirc. Let me investigate something real quick [03:55] Jack_Sparrow: so try noapic? [03:55] tscolin, you mean you cant increase lcd brightness even after login? [03:56] tscolin Doubt it will work [03:56] anirudh0: correct [03:56] the display dims before i even get t sysvinit [03:57] never heard of that happening before [03:57] its very annoying [03:57] only ubuntu does it, so im tempted to compile my own kernel [03:57] but [03:57] that defeast the ez to use purpse :/ [03:58] * alan_m notices you two are the only two really talking, so I wont throw a who out...:) [03:58] try linux-386 [03:58] vanilla? [03:58] well [03:58] 64bit here [03:58] i have a problem with mi hp 3740. when it's printing suddenly stop. could somebody help me please? [03:58] strawberry :) [03:59] theFATMAN are you talking about kiba dock? [03:59] tscolin, assuming your arch is i386 [03:59] koshari, i have no idea now [03:59] haha Sam1337 i love when users can just jump in like that :) [03:59] lol [03:59] anirudh0: any pointers to my previous question, or should I toss it up again? [04:00] thats only 1 issue of many i am dealing with [04:00] WobWork, forgot your question :) [04:00] for instance wireless settings dont save :/ [04:00] anirudh0: =) [04:00] will cairo-dock work on a 64bit system? [04:00] WobWork, the firefox thing right? [04:00] elky hi melissa (: [04:00] it always wipes my AP password, and clears WPA2 to WPA1 :/ [04:00] thats annoying [04:00] !pm | Sam1337 [04:00] anirudh0: I was looking for a location in one of the startup scripts where I could replace the call for the windows manager and get it to just run firefox [04:00] !who| tscolin [04:00] Sam1337: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you.

[04:01] anirudh0, you mean session startup? [04:01] Sam1337, because i triggered it, dont private message me without asking, thanks much. [04:01] ubottu knows all, sees all =) [04:01] WobWork: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:01] Chrysalis hm, I'm running into some issues tracing the java plugin for firefox2, apparently things have changed since firefox3 was added. [04:02] Oh it's rude to pm somebody without asking? I'll take that on board thanks. [04:02] WobWork, add this to the session startup then ...firefox &&sudo killall compiz [04:02] LastKnight02: but Mesa is part of what you need. [04:02] LastKnight02: I think you're confusing yourself. [04:02] Yes, I think so,. [04:02] WobWork, in system->prefs->sessions [04:02] theFATMAN is this what you mean ? [04:02] Sam1337, thanks bud...wasnt meaning to be rude or whatever, but when your in here and have questions..keep it in channel so that all can benefit :) [04:02] http://www.in.com.au/~holty/temp/kiba_beryl.mpeg [04:02] anirudh0: I'll give that a go [04:03] WobWork, sure..good luck for the trade show [04:03] hello i cant get azureus to work since i upgraded to hardy [04:03] nickrud, yea i have ff3 i seem to be the only one with flash and java problems though from what i can tell lol [04:03] general chatter in private message with me is ok now that ive read your pm...but...i really wouldnt suggest making a habit of doing it without asking Sam1337 [04:03] ouellettesr, please run from terminal and post output to pastebin [04:04] ouellettesr, probably a java issue [04:04] when i open a torrent it says its not a file [04:04] jirb, I figured out how to change the default dvd player in hardy heron. you do two things 1st make a symlink sudo ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd to allow programs like xine that look for /dev/dvd to find it. then right click on applications and edit menu. go to sound & video, look for movie player, right click, go to properties and change the command to your favorite player. in my case xine -f... [04:04] ...-g dvd:// Just fyi [04:04] what package is gdmsetup in? i cant seem to find it [04:04] Chrysalis switching back to ff3 [04:05] bjb1959, put that up on a wiki or something [04:05] usser,very confused? [04:05] martman, its installed by default [04:05] any suggestions as to which one? [04:05] usser,very confused === tony_ is now known as Weng [04:05] bjb1959, ubuntuguide.org might be one place to do that.... [04:05] KOSHARI, YEAH THATS IT [04:06] Will do [04:06] !caps | theFATMAN [04:06] theFATMAN: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [04:06] anirudh0 im doing a server install. so not much is installed by default [04:06] gaurav, what? [04:06] bjb1959: still hacky :) bugs should be filed against xine. Thanks for the info though [04:06] ff3 rc1 + flash 10 beta = pretty stable and smooth for me [04:06] martman, its in gdm [04:06] alan_m, lighten up dude it was an accident === Weng is now known as Wing_ [04:06] martman, i mean the package gdm [04:07] theFATMAN, ok, then i apologize myself [04:07] aln_m, i thought i hit super+tab to switch [04:07] How can I search for a text string in all the files on my hard drive, including binary and hidden? [04:07] Dad__: use grep, but that will take a while... === Wing_ is now known as amb5186 [04:07] koshari? [04:07] usser,in a project there is lot of file then when buils project whic file is builded!! all? [04:07] Hi. [04:07] jrib, inside a file? [04:07] jrib, you could also change xine to look for /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/dvd I guess but I'll let the xine people know [04:07] jrib, doesn't grep work only with text files? [04:08] Dad__: man grep :) [04:08] How do I uninstall a manually instlled .deb file ? [04:08] anirudh0: yeah, that's what grep does, no? [04:08] jrib, nope [04:08] gaurav, when u build yes all files in src folder get build to compose a single executable [04:08] usser,i think is all the way differnt then in windows [04:08] theFATMAN thats kiba dock [04:08] jrib, grep just searches a string for occurence of your search terms [04:08] anirudh0: grep searchterm file [04:08] jrib, so, unless you "cat" all files in your hdd, grep wont help [04:09] gaurav, its exactly the same concept as in Visual Studion on windows [04:09] koshari, is it compatible with 9.04? [04:09] usser,but iam using boland c++ in windows [04:09] jrib, searching _inside_ a file is what tracker and beagle are for [04:09] i mean 8.04 [04:09] cat file | grep searchterm is a useless use of cat [04:09] not quite [04:09] how can i auto-mount all my fat32 disks on boot? [04:09] you have to do that for _all_ files on your hdd [04:10] older versions of ubuntu used to do it automatically [04:10] gaurav, never used it but i imagine its the same [04:10] anirudh0: you are not reading what I write or are misunderstanding me. grep can search inside files. Try: grep searchterm /path/to/file [04:10] theFATMAN dunno i took that footage whan i was using 7.04 and my missus dont like it so i took it off [04:11] koshari, have u tried cairo-dock? [04:11] Chrysalis sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so [04:11] whats the command to delete a directory? [04:11] HappyHater: rm -r [04:11] how to add another spellcheck language in xchat ? [04:11] !cli > HappyHater (read the private message from ubottu) [04:11] jrib, you need to do that for all files,thats what searching a hard disk means [04:11] usser,here we have to use int main() not void main?? [04:11] theFATMAN no i havnt tried cairo dock [04:11] anirudh0: see -R in grep's man page [04:11] jrib, k [04:12] nickrud, so that basically makes ff use sun-java instead of the other one and then just install ubuntu-extras? [04:12] how can i auto-mount all my fat32 disks on boot? older versions of ubuntu used to do it automatically... there was also this software "disk manager", but it doesn't seem to work with hardy [04:12] usser,conio.h doesnot exist? [04:12] !vfat > psp2000 (read the private message from ubottu) [04:12] psp2000 you winn need to add some lines to your fstab file [04:12] jrib, i apologize...this is actually a pretty good method [04:12] conio.h is a windows header [04:12] thanks jrib, kept getting access denied, that took care of it :) [04:13] koshari, huh i guess i'm gonna check it out. | New question, how do I screencapture in ubuntu? not a screenshot, but video? For a tutorial? [04:13] anirudh0: no worries [04:13] gaurav, int main() is the proper way. and yes conio.h doesnt exist in linux [04:13] theFATMAN recordmydesktop [04:13] Chrysalis I did the restricted-extra install, then java. , then the update [04:13] gaurav, its a dos specific library [04:13] !screencast | theFATMAN [04:13] theFATMAN: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [04:13] in gparted, now that ive made that space ext3, how can i give it a mount point? or do i do that somewhere else, or just add it manually to /etc/fstab? [04:14] jrib, but how fast is it...can it look inside pdf's? [04:14] usser ,can u wrrite a small program specifying me syntax in linux [04:14] koshari, thanks, what format do they use? [04:14] nickrud: ok, and the flash that i should use is the one that comse with ubuntu-extras? [04:14] usser,then wat is used in place of conio/ [04:14] did the menu.lst setup change for 8.04??? I edited my menu and the change doesn't show when I reboot [04:14] theFATMAN default is ogg then i recode using ffmpeg [04:15] salut [04:15] gaurav, i dont know much c++, i'd suppose ncurses or something like that. i dont know much about c++, read up programming for linux [04:15] koshari, sweet, dude, you are badass! [04:15] je [04:15] Chrysalis yes, it's the same as from adobe just packaged up nicely [04:15] je [04:15] theFATMAN glad you liked the movie :-) [04:15] anirudh0: no, it will treat everything as text afaik. tracker/beagle will be faster when you search because they crawl and index [04:15] nickrud: ok, thank you [04:16] nickrud: ill give it a try [04:16] j'ai [04:16] !fr | astek [04:16] does anyone know about the menu.lst? has it changed with the recent version?

[04:20] anirudh0: is line 152 a problem? perhaps I should delete that 'root' and that is why nothing is showing up [04:20] anirudh0: yeah, I just added that, I guess that is from 7.10 right? [04:20] shane2peru, remove lines 159 and 160 [04:21] shane2peru, leave root alone [04:21] for now [04:21] s3a cant you just change the print output to lanscape?

[04:22] ragsagar,?? [04:22] shane2peru, you rebooted? [04:23] gaurav, i dunno man u'd be better of asking in #c++ or #programming [04:23] nyla: Firstly you should make a list of programs you use in windows. then see what there is in ubuntu for those things. Also try to run the livecd to see if any problems with hardware or so on. [04:23] ragsagar,what to do with it/ [04:23] was ./configue a success [04:23] tmapj, xchm and gchm also [04:23] no, I already tried that setup, and nothing shows below the Automagic stuff.

[04:24] Sarah: add a new line in /etc/fstab [04:24] shane2peru, no point..gaurav either cant or does'nt want to listen [04:24] anirudh0: lol, ok, I will give that a try, that seems to be the only thing that would cause it to not show up [04:24] ragsagar,can u solve above error? [04:24] nyla: If all your hardware works well then you already know it's a possibility to switch then. [04:24] Can anyone recommend a wifi card that'll play nicely with ubuntu? all the ones I've found on forums have had their chipsets changed since, and none in the Wiki list I can find on ebuyer :\ [04:24] is there a special channel for GRUB or Hardy boot problems? [04:25] Frenzi, doubt it...but you can ask here [04:25] Frenzi: Welcome to it. [04:25] Sarah: if it's an external hard disk or USB, you may want to use vol_id to create a UUID to make sure it's always mounted on the same mountpoint [04:25] pgquiles__, i tried that but it had all UUID stuff i didnt know what to put for that [04:25] anirudh0: brb [04:25] * shane2peru runs of to reboot [04:25] s3a in the print options there should be a choice between lanscape and portrait, thats what that does, terns the paper 90 degrees [04:25] thanks guys [04:25] when installing gutsy or hardy on a box with only one SCSI drive, and no IDE drive [04:25] apparently GRUB isn't installed properly [04:25] !Gnochm [04:25] Factoid gnochm not found [04:25] hey is there an easy way to get a list of what packages i have installed?

[04:28] the reverse of what i wanted :( [04:28] thanks anirudh0 [04:28] anirudh0: arrrggh, ok, that didn't work, :( I don't understand, it shouldn't be that difficult! :) [04:29] shane2peru, nothing shows up? [04:29] how do i install driver for my modem ? modem is HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Smart CP [04:29] anirudh0: nope, just the "Other Operating Systems" line, nothing below it. [04:29] harpreet: Do you have the driver downloaded and on your machine? [04:29] harpreet thats a software modem and you may have troble doing so [04:30] shane2peru, oops [04:30] Yachaziel: driver is not available anywhere except for Windows [04:30] Is there a command on 8.04 ubuntu to run from command line that can tell one what the status is of a laptop battery? Preferably in percentage.. [04:30] shane2peru, the "root" should'nt have been removed [04:30] s3a: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/01/print-large-banner-on-your-terminal.html [04:30] anirudh0: but even with 'root' there it didn't show up. [04:30] Koshari: Anything I can do to make it work? [04:30] shane2peru, its like "othe....", then"root", then "titl...mykernel",then the rest of the stuff [04:31] harpreet: Heed koshari's words. That's going to be fun. [04:31] anirudh0: right, that is how it was to begin with, and it still didn't work [04:31] Lord_Devi, acpi [04:31] Hola [04:31] harpreet: You might try here > http://www.freewebs.com/gkiagia/linuxonaceraspire9113.htm for a driver. [04:31] in fstab how do i know what to put for dump and pass? the mount point above the one im adding is pretty much the same kind of partition and stuff, and it has 0 and 2 [04:31] anirudh0: ok, let me reboot again, I copied the 'custom' entry that I put in, and pasted it in about three different places, [04:31] harpreet you would be better off buying a hardware modem for what its worth unfortinately, [04:32] and / above that has 0 1 [04:32] anirudh0: Awesome thanks =) that works great [04:32] Yachaziel; I had fun setting up my wlan but was successful after 10 days of struggle [04:32] this wil wound dumb ;) but how do i enable the Universe and Multiverse repositories in the synaptic package manager? [04:32] should i put 0 2 or 0 3 or something [04:32] sound* [04:32] de donde son? [04:32] anirudh0: I put it as the first one, the last one, and then in 'Other OS" [04:32] shane2peru, to begin with you had "savedefault" and "boot" at the end of the custom kernel [04:32] shane2peru, which i told you to remove [04:32] Lord_Devi: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state can be also BAT0 but not in percentage, sorry [04:32] harpreet: Lol, ok. Just so long as you're prepared. I still don't have my wlan set up just how I like it. =O Too lazy to put the finishing touches on it. [04:32] anirudh0: no, that I added after it didn't work a few times lol. :) I saw that from my old 7.10 entries. [04:32] genii: Oh ok thanks [04:32] Winmodems are generally a struggle but I've had good luck with Intel EP536's [04:33] Lord_Devi: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info also has other information related to the battery [04:33] shane2peru, there's nothing else wrong...is your kernel the problem [04:33] anirudh0: I noticed the warning at the begining of the menu.lst not to do that with raid devices, I don't have raid, so figured, it couldn't hurt [04:33] Koshari; thank you very much, I have a US robotics modem which has female serial connector, Can i get a male servial adapter with other side of usb to laptop? may that work? [04:33] shane2peru, as in...does grub say , "partition not found", or does kernel refuse to boot [04:33] genii: hrm, listing battery heatlh in miliamps might be cooler than a percentage.. hehe [04:34] Yachaziel; set it up buddy , its fun [04:34] harpreet dont you have a serial port? [04:34] anirudh0: I don't think, I can't even get mykernel to show up on the menu, so I haven't even got to try it. [04:34] Lord_Devi, changes over the lifetime of a battery [04:34] Does anyone know why a framebuffer call like vga=791 produces blank virtual tty's? [04:34] shane2peru, move it up [04:34] can someone please help me with my video card? [04:34] shane2peru, before the "other..." [04:34] harpreet: I think my time is better spent drinking ale and wishing someone would do it for me. =D [04:34] anirudh0: ok, let me reboot again, and give it another whirl, I pasted it in about 3 locations [04:34] shane2peru, what the problem? [04:34] ragsagar: one minute brb after reboot [04:35] Koshari: its female serial port in laptop and female connector in modem, so i can get a famale to female (two males) adapter? [04:35] anirudh0: Yeah I notice. Kind of handy you can tell the HEALTH of the battery by that though [04:35] harpreet if you can get the usb to recignise it i think it will be an easier task than the winmodem [04:35] harpreet, you'll need 2 in general [04:35] how do i enable the universe and multiverse repositories in the synaptic package manager to get all the fonts available? [04:35] harpreet, female->male->female [04:35] There was a bug report about it in Gutsy that was supposedly resolved but I'll be darned if I can find the fix. Anyone? [04:36] harpreet: I think you can get one of those. I tried splicing a line to do that once with success, if you can't find one. [04:36] Ironcitadel, edit sources.list [04:36] harpreet are you sure its not a parralell port??? serials are always male on the PC [04:36] hmm...what do I need to install to get my movies playing? formats, mpeg2, avi. asw. [04:36] harpreet is it a 9 or 24 pin connector your looking at? [04:36] * ethana2 runs updates, hopes for FF3rc1.... === CarlF1 is now known as CarlFK [04:36] Ironcitadel, replace all occurences of "hardy" by "hardy main restricted multiverse universe" [04:36] @xenos vlc [04:37] Is there anyone available that can help troubleshoot the rt73 driver issues? [04:37] anyone familiar with phpbb forums? im trying to install it on my LAMP server and im having some problems [04:37] Koshari; 9 pin female on modem and 15 pin female parallell on laptop [04:37] xenos, w32codecs and vlc or mplayer [04:37] is there any way to tell how much traffic uploaded/downloaded the inet conenction has done? [04:38] HappyHater, ifconfig [04:38] bazhang .. no joy on that link.... i still get GRUB [04:38] ragsagar: ok, I keep editing my menu.lst, and it doesn't show up in the menu when I reboot [04:38] anirudh0: I have main restricted multiverse universe enabled and did an apt-get dist-upgrade. Still no joy. [04:38] harpreet thats a juystick/midi port [04:38] is it true ext3 filesystem is much slower than ext2 filesystem [04:38] D4s0tt0c4t: Please do not ask to ask a question, or ask if someone is available. Please ask your question and if someone can help they will. =D [04:38] nyla: probably not. [04:38] Yachaziel, lol, !ask is so much easier [04:38] anirudh0: ok, didn't work again! I thought of a possibility, how can I tell what hdd I'm booting off of? [04:38] thanks anirudh0 [04:38] harpreet or vga if there in 3 lines [04:38] Koshari; what should I buy then to connect modem? 9 pin male on on side and usb on ther? [04:38] anirudh0: I did not know the command to use. =P I am still new here. [04:39] no FF3rc1 yet :( [04:39] shane2peru, did you move the section upwards [04:39] Koshari; 3 lines 5 pins each on laptop [04:39] anirudh0: yes, let me post you the new one [04:39] anirudh0: Is there a place I can view all the commands available? [04:39] @shane have you tried arrow-keys? sometimes its then display, escpecially if there a re special characters [04:39] harpreet the correct usb/serial will have male on tit [04:39] Yachaziel, the factoid system is pretty good ! will generally show up some useful info [04:39] harpreet 3 lines 5 pins each on laptop=vga=screen port [04:39] shane2peru, i have to go soon..please hurry [04:39] salut [04:40] !answer-to-the-questions-of-life [04:40] @rumpel or try the edit-option in grub... 'e' i think... [04:40] Yachaziel: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:40] anirudh0: ok [04:40] je [04:40] Yachaziel: that was my question. Sadly I have to explain my scenario and cannot get my question into clean and simple line, would probably be better to get someones help one on one rather than spam questions into the channel :/ [04:40] Nope, anirudh0, it seems broken to me. =0 [04:40] lol [04:40] Koshari, I'll get a male 9 pin and usb (adapter) ? [04:40] Yachaziel, lol :)...even the machine mainframe cant answer that [04:40] Koshari; connect modem to usb is the best choice then i guess? [04:40] Yachaziel, it's 42 :P [04:40] anirudh0: http://pastebin.com/d409cf0f7 here it is [04:41] harpreet yes thats what you would need, you might want to research what models people have had success with in linux [04:41] D4s0tt0c4t: Type your question into our Pastebin and just present us with that link. [04:41] !pastebin | D4s0tt0c4t [04:41] D4s0tt0c4t: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:41] Koshari; Thank you very much [04:41] anirudh0, Ashfire908: Lol [04:41] harpreet so in summary research which usb>serial adaptors work in linux [04:42] Koshari; I had only ubuntu desktop before, i install servers on it and how do i access all the servers? networking; mail server etc. and how do i set it up to serve a network? [04:42] anirudh0: if you have to go, that is ok, I will figure it out sooner or later, thanks for the help [04:42] shane2peru, check line 153 [04:42] shane2peru, its the only possibility [04:42] shane2peru, indentation [04:43] any software for opening rar files in ubuntu? [04:43] Nikunj93: unrar [04:43] Um.. [04:43] Has anyone isntalled Ndesk based application [04:43] How can I disable automatic detection of inputdevices in xorg.conf ?Ie so unless a keyboard is in xorg.conf then it won't be used? [04:43] can anyone tell me if tomorow is a holiday in the US ? [04:43] freeware or shareware? [04:44] tmapj: Yes it is. [04:44] I had only ubuntu desktop before, i install servers on it and how do i access all the servers? networking; mail server etc. and how do i set it up to serve a network? [04:44] tmapj: Yes. It's Memorial Day. [04:44] Nikunj93: Pull up the package manager and type in RAR while viewing all available applications. It'll pull up a full list. [04:44] so everything will be closed? [04:44] Nikunj93: free, but I think it's called flashplugin-nonfree [04:44] Nikunj93: I see one called RAR right off the bat. [04:44] Mainly, tmapj [04:44] ok thanks, sorry for the off topic question [04:44] yes there is a rar but its shareware i want a freeware [04:44] tmapj: some things might be open. Closing absolutely everything would be impractical [04:45] Nikunj93: unrar is free as in price, but called nonfree as there are restrictions on copying and modifying [04:45] I had only ubuntu desktop before, i install servers on it and how do i access all the servers? networking; mail server etc. and how do i set it up to serve a network? [04:45] Nikunj93: it might be unrar-nonfree [04:45] ok thanks got it [04:46] thanks very much [04:46] I had only ubuntu desktop before, i install servers on it and how do i access all the servers? networking; mail server etc. and how do i set it up to serve a network? [04:46] Starnestommy: well i downloaded unrar not unrar - free and i can t see any restrictions [04:48] harpreet you google, learn execute avery one on those queries [04:48] harpreet: I think you need to apt-get portmap nfs, then edit /etc/exports to reflect what you want to share and to whom. That will get your file server. [04:48] where can i see reboot,halt log for my machine? [04:49] (Or at least I think I remember it that way.) [04:50] msshams: check in /var/log [04:50] Anyone have a suggestion as to a good, free, Linux friendly Virtual Machine? [04:50] msshams: /var/log/syslog [04:51] Yachaziel: virtualbox-ose, kvm, qemu, xen, and there are some others [04:51] Yachaziel linux client or server? [04:51] Starnestommy: Thanks a lot. [04:51] koshari: It's ok. Starnestommy got it. [04:51] Yachaziel, depends on your processor, not all vm's run on every processor, you need HT extensions for some [04:51] To set up a print share I think you point your browser at 127.0.0.1:631 and define the shared printer there, then restart cups. [04:52] rexy_: How do I check the proc in linux? I'm doing it on my sis's computer and I don't know her hardware. [04:52] How do I install a startup wallpaper (GDM theme?) that I have downloaded? [04:52] Yachaziel: cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:53] jbroome: Thanks [04:53] Yachaziel, vbox is probably the easiest to setup, but also the most limited i think [04:53] what does cat /proc/cpuinfo lists? [04:54] when I try to boot, i get GRUB . There is a thing on the web that says I should check my grub.conf [04:54] In-Sane``: thank you, [04:54] :D [04:54] Anyone know how to get ttys1-6 to display when a vga=xxx parameter is in menu.lst? [04:54] can't find grub.conf [04:54] omg, the terminal bugged out on me while installing java during the accept/decline, apparently i had declined but i couldnt see anything cause the font/window was messed up and now apt-get cant find sun-java-jre anymore to reinstall or remove [04:54] In-Sane``, processor specifics [04:54] Ok, I'm using the rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.0 driver for my edimax ew-7318USg. I dl'd it, tar'd it, and did a make make install. Network manager sees all of the access points but cannot connect my network which is currently set to no encryption. Also it can only obtain an ip address if eth0 is connected and I use these commands http://paste.ubuntu.com/14707/ I just wanna know if this issue is familiar to anyone? I have been googling for hours and s [04:54] ome fixes get closer but none work. [04:54] rexy_: thanks [04:55] Frenzi /boot/grub/ [04:55] rexy_: Here's my processor - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14709/ [04:55] no grub.conf in that directory [04:55] For the RT73 chipset, you may have to use ndiswrapper and a windows driver [04:55] guys, how do i run multiple x displays? I know I have to press ctrl+alt+f1, then what do I do? [04:55] Are you running Hardy? [04:55] So, my cat sat on my keyboard, and now everything is in a negative color? So, what key combo did my cat discover? [04:55] Frenzi the files you will want are menu.1st and devices [04:56] @Frenzi also dont have a grub.conf... is it necessary? === marathe26 is now known as marathe25 [04:56] Steven: type "xinit -- :1" and you'll get an X on ctrl-alt-f8 [04:56] can i install server edition on desktop edition? [04:56] i've installed bind9, yet 'sudo /etc/init.d/bind9 start' is saying "fail!" according to /var/log/syslog, it's related to permissions on /etc/bind/named.conf, but the permissions check out. any ideas? [04:57] harpreet the server addition just has more packages suited to server, [04:57] Steven: You might need to do that from ctrl-alt-f2 instead. [04:57] May 25 21:51:08 achilles kernel: [ 5319.033326] audit(1211773868.237:7): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" requested_mask="::r" denied_mask="::r" name="/var/lib/named/etc/bind/named.conf" pid=7843 profile="/usr/sbin/named" namespace="default" [04:57] is the error [04:58] koshari .... i have poked around in menu.lst, and i think that might be where the problem is. It has a line that says kopt=root=UUID= and a long string of hex digits. I replaced it with kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro, but alas, no change [04:58] Koshari; would you recommend a course offered by an institute for small fees or I can learn ubuntu server administration all by my own? [04:59] harpreet: i'd suggest the book Linux System Administration [04:59] harpreet i jsut learnt stuff from the internet, everything is documented, wikipedia and ubuntuforums are your friends [04:59] What Virtual Machine do you recommend with this kind of processor? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14709/ [04:59] and google.com [04:59] for radeon compiz should xrg.conf have --- Option "VideoOverlay" "on" [04:59] ubuntu keeps removing 2/3's of my listed DNS servers every time I reboot... anyone know what's up with that? [04:59] Frenzi what exactly is your problem? [04:59] Hammer89, your dhcpd update overwrites the resolve.conf i think [05:00] when i boot, i get GRUB [05:00] Koshari; Kindofabuzz thank you very much [05:00] joe_chat_: Oh? [05:00] for radeon compiz should xrg.conf have --- Load "dri" [05:00] keyboard is dead at that point [05:00] rexy_: is there a fairly quick way to fix that? [05:00] Frenzi i doubt grub has anything to do with the keyboard, [05:00] LastKnight02: Oh? what? [05:00] Frenzi is it a usb keyboard? [05:00] no [05:01] @frenzi unplug usb-drives [05:01] Hammer89, probably through network settings or network manager [05:01] joe_chat_: You mentioned Radeon.. I'm still trying to get mine to act like I want it ito..

But I'm still a bit... laggy.. [05:01] Frenzi so you want to edit the sysytem to default to a system so you need no user intervention? [05:02] my ati generated xorg.conf file did not have the sames entries my ubuntu one did [05:02] koshari ... umm... not exactly... i just want the machine to boot [05:02] ie dri, glx, etc [05:02] anyone familiar with phpmyadmin i could use some help, like, how do i access the site once i have dled the repository? [05:02] LastKnight02: any ideas [05:02] Frenzi doess the keyboard work in a live session? [05:03] ubuntu LiveCD works fine [05:03] Anyone know how my screen could have been turned to negative colors?

[05:03] one [05:03] hardy [05:03] also tried kubuntu gutsy with the same results [05:04] anyone else having trouble searching the ubuntu forums? [05:04] i downloaded the ubuntu iso form the site, i can boot that to a live cd and install from there? will it let me reformat an existing partition without having to format my whole drive? [05:04] ok, so without a keyboard the default should have booted through the grub stage. [05:04] anyone familiar with phpmyadmin i could use some help, like, how do i access the site once i have dled the repository? [05:04] joe_chat_: Did you get my PM? [05:04] emperorcezar: did u dl compiz? [05:04] koshari... exactly. It seems that GRUB doesn't know what /dev/sda1 is [05:05] LastKnight02: yes i responded switch over? [05:05] You must not be registered.. I got no reply. ;-) [05:05] Frenzi ok look in devices and see what sda is listed as, ie hd0 ect [05:05] koshari... /boot/grub/device.map says (hd0) /dev/sda [05:06] Frenzi ok does your menu.1st file point to hd0? === vkrel is now known as krel [05:06] LastKnight02: look at pm [05:07] koshari.... umm... now you have to hold my hand a little.... where exactly in that file do i need to look? how about down at the bottom where it says root (hd0,0) [05:07] !uwin [05:07] Factoid uwin not found [05:07] Frenzi and are you getting an error like error 21 or error 17? [05:07] joe_chat_: I did. I saw no response. I think you may need to register first. ( /msg Nickserv REGISTER ) [05:08] koshari... .no error, just locked up box with GRUB . Can do nothing at that point except hit the reset button [05:08] Does anyone know if I can use xrandr to switch off/on my second external monitor? [05:08] baaaah! [05:08] how can i automatically load applications during start up? [05:09] Frenzi you will want root in the menu 12t entry for your kernal to equal hd0 [05:09] Everyone; this is awesome network to help each other and have a working computer system over having a crashing computer system; I appreciate all the help [05:10] LastKnight02: 5955.793 fps [05:10] Frenzi root (hd0,0) [05:10] ok, so i tried to play a game using wine, that didnt work and the game crashed [05:10] now im in a really low resolution [05:10] ie everything is huge [05:10] how do i get it back to normal? [05:10] root (hd0,0) is correct [05:10] Frenzi if its locking up it may be worth a try reinstalling grub, [05:10] joe_chat_: I hate you. LOL. I'm getting about 529 fps [05:10] LastKnight02: i installed radeon using ati drivers http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide [05:10] Xsploit, are you using GNOME? [05:11] that worked to get my speed up [05:11] nope [05:11] joe_chat_: I don't think that will work for Radeon 9250... [05:11] Frenzi have a read of this [05:11] koshari... .tried that a lot, even someone here gave me an excellent link that should have worked [05:11] http://www.techtalkwiki.net/restore_grub_on_linux [05:11] i use the 3850hd [05:11] Xsploit, all I know is it's System->Preferences->Screen Resolution for gnome [05:11] sorry =x [05:11] joe_chat_: Ahh.. I need to get a better graphics card. [05:12] koshari.. .there is a line that sets kernel options or something... kopt=root=UUID= [05:12] I'm disappointed in this one... With Compiz turned off, I get 568 fps.. but people using ATIs driver are getting 1100 fps. [05:12] gonna reboot [05:12] atlantic board is a game compatible to linux only, right? [05:12] cant even get into system [05:12] Xsploit: you might also want to use Wine's virtual desktop feature. Makes life so much easier until you get the game working [05:12] LastKnight02: woops 3650 hd 1gb OC [05:12] Frenzi yes that is because you chose linux volume management, [05:12] koshari .. I changed it to say kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro, but still no joyy [05:12] but ati worked with an x1300 [05:12] joe_chat_: That's real nice.

[05:13] Yo, how would I make a Ubuntu/8.04 package out of the 8.40.4 proprietary ati drivers? the --buildpkg only supports up to Gutsy as it's an older driver version. [05:13] LastKnight02: i think it might have something to do with xorg options or dri [05:13] Frenzi grub cannot read sda1 ect thats why it uses the devices table to interpret it to grub friendly terms like hd0,0 ect [05:13] what is the proper way to add mounts to ubuntu server 8.04? edit /etc/fstab or what? i looked at the fstab and got a little frightened by the UUID... [05:14] Well.. I've already tweaked the hell out of my xorg.conf [05:14] koshari... ok... i'll change it back [05:14] i use hardy [05:14] dumezil dont be intinidated by the uuid [05:14] I do too.

You could either use firefox2, or use the 'nightly testers tool' extension for FF3 to 'force' the older extensions to run on FF3. (which may be unstable doing that) [05:56] oh [05:56] Yachaziel, that would be Captain Jack not me :) [05:56] sry fatman.. [05:56] Does anyone know why I can't get my microphone to work? [05:56] i was TRYING to help [05:56] rayvis [05:56] it could be your soundcard settings [05:56] bazhang: You don't own us all? I thought you were half-bot half-man half-linux 1337xxorz.

Tried using totem, mplayer, xine, and vlc, no matter what I try, I get sound, but no picture (just a black rectangle) any ideas? [06:03] how do i disable the compatibility check on ff3? [06:03] Dr_willis: after adding nightly tester tools , restarted Firefox, I tried installing the UnPlug extension again but it also reports " This add-on is for older versions of Firefox" do I need to reboot or something? [06:03] yit4s: In Soviet Russia, ff3 disables compatibility check on you. =D [06:04] Yachaziel: lol how cool is that... do i have to move to moscow to disable compatibility check on ff3? [06:04] I'm looking for an add-on for firefox that allows me to tell a website that I am actually running IE(v). Does anyone know what that's called? [06:04] No, just open your Places window [06:04] yit4s: Probably. =P [06:04] what do i need in a mail service so that i can connect to it via emacs or alpine? [06:05] Yachaziel: try looking for a user-agent spoofer [06:05] hmm... what's a faster networked file system? NFS or samba?

[06:07] Hello, anyone here familiar with dd-wrt? [06:07] In-Sane: I want to view a website which will only open with IE4+. I cannot use IE, since I'm on ubuntu. I want firefox to tell it it is actually IE. I used to have that add-on, but then I updated and lost it. [06:07] Stewage: what's your question? [06:07] how do I set custom DNS for a static lease?

[06:09] uplink: hmmm... go to System>Preferences>Sound, try testing the devices available [06:09] Yachaziel: user-agent-switcher extension [06:09] all work [06:09] theLichKing: "beta" by definition means "we're going to hold you hostage later on" [06:09] people are trying to hit ports in the 55,000's... [06:09] :-P [06:09] Ok thanks Yachaziel [06:09] Rat409: Lol, yep. [06:09] yit4s, i think its a sound codec... b/c on windows the sound works perfect [06:10] Yachaziel: Is it silkroadonline by any chance? [06:10] theLichKing: They claim they won't, but if they do we'll just switch. I've tried a lot, but they're my favorite right now. [06:10] Sam1337: yes [06:10] uplink: what player are you using?

[06:10] [06:09] theLichKing: "beta" by definition means "we're going to hold you hostage later on" <-- no, you're thinking of windows :P [06:10] Stewage: Also, you'll need to sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [06:10] Yachaziel: I had to get the user switcher plugin today to get onto the site, worked perfectly. [06:10] yit4s, youtube, audacious, exhile [06:11] Yachaziel: thanks a lot for saving me the time to look for one :) [06:11] Sam1337: Thanks =D Have you gotten it to work in WINE? [06:11] Hornet: Hey, don't forget Google... [06:11] theLichKing: Not a problem. I hope you like it. It has a lot of features, is SUPER easy to use, etc. Make sure you use IMAP though. POP is the devil. [06:11] Yachaziel: No I didn't bother downloading it after looking at the sign-up form and I could'nt remember my old account details. [06:11] uplink: install libflashsupport if you're having trouble playing files on your player after playing youtube [06:12] Yachaziel: I'm just too lazy.

[06:12] uplink: amarok is recommendation. it sounds way better than windows [06:12] Sam1337: I can't get Guild Wars to work either.

[06:13] any skype users here? [06:13] I use Skype [06:13] Yachaziel: Have you tried cedega before? Cedega seems to run Guild Wars better than wine from my experience. [06:13] norty: sudo rm [06:13] Can't get my microphone to work though [06:13] Sam1337: Isn't that a pay service? [06:13] Yachaziel: You can download cedega for free with bittorrent.

I am not certain what the trash directory is. [06:16] Dr_willis: Will it appear in software updates when it's ready? The latest pidgin didn't [06:16] uplink: just make sure Music and Movies dont share the same device as Sound Events as you might not hear anything from Pidgin etc [06:16] no wonder...

It used to work perfectly under the previous kubuntu install, but after upgrading to hardy, sound stopped working. I've been fighting the problem on and off for a while now. Recently I discovered that running alsa force-reload fixes sound, but it's gone again after a reboot. any idea what the problem is and how to fix it? [06:27] i changed the mount point of my external drive to an invalid location and now i can't mount it! , any ideas [06:28] hamish: change the mount point back to some valid location. ;) [06:28] What's the directory to the trash?

[06:30] but since as it won't mount i can't right click it! [06:30] hamish: edit /etc/fstab [06:30] should i mount my partitions to where nautilus mounts them anyway? [06:30] i HD on an IBM server. I was told to try and disable (or bypass) the RAID card and try and install it directly onto the drive. I have disabled the RAID but Ubuntu still will not see either drive. Diagnostics on teh drives all check out clean. DO I need a specific driver or something? [06:31] the device isn't listed there [06:31] DavidCraft: whats the raid controller? [06:31] ok, trying not to pull out my hair. my friend's computer got banged around a bit and his OS disk got disconnected. his solution was to install ubuntu again, onto his secondary disk. he lost his data. that isn't what i have a problem with however. [06:31] um its.... [06:32] bazhang: Say i want to access trash from terminal - what do I have to type? I am stupid. [06:32] at the moment i'm trying to get grub to boot a kernel. it keeps spitting back error 15 file not found [06:32] hmm, does ubuntu use a different config file for mount points then /etc/fstab?

I would but have my hands full with a cranky baby atm ... [06:35] actually, let me rephrase. . . should i set up fstab to auto mount my partitons to /media/parition, same as where they get mounted through nautilus?

[06:36] norty: Thank Bazhang too. He was the one who knew the !trash factoid. [06:36] if i set them up to mount in /mnt i end up with 2 mounts per partition after running nautilus [06:36] bazhang, thanks :D [06:36] Yachaziel: I am not sure which keywords to search for.

[06:41] yes [06:42] DavidCraft: if it works for redhat/suse, it'll work for debian/ubuntu with some magi [06:42] give me a few if no one else can help [06:42] Yachaziel, it's also not throwing any errors, i deleted the config files too, and let them regenerate.. no luck. unless i am missing some [06:42] * izzyb_ still has baby [06:42] hamish_: have you tried to remove and then insert the device again? === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [06:43] izzyb_: np np, thanks for the help. Ill be around lol [06:43] i cant get wine 2 run vista but thats provably cuz im dumb [06:43] lol [06:44] rainman: you wouldnt run an OS using wine [06:44] rainman: I don't know that you can run vista in it [06:44] i can't "sudo apt-get install openmpi", do i have to apt-get all these packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/hardy/openmpi [06:44] wine is an api replacement [06:44] Is there a program similar to wine except it allows the user to install Mac OS programs in Linux as opposed to running Windows applications in Linux? [06:44] that lets you run windows programs, not oses [06:44] rainman: use a virtual machine like VMware or virtual box [06:44] i'm not sure i understand why an apt-get install openmpi does not work [06:44] rainman: you want a virtualization tool [06:45] wouldn't that just install all the "child" packages, or packages built from it's source? [06:45] rainman: and the blessing of microsoft to say it's OK [06:45] yes and when i do it pops up a dialog saying that i cannot mount it because the mount point i specified was invalid(In different words of course) [06:45] I installed bum, I am not able to see the startup packages and services.. I know how to stop a startup service, but how to add a package to the startup manager? :) [06:45] yea thats what i mean [06:45] Hi. Not sure where to look: I want to find a list of DBUS interfaces provided by NetworkManager. [06:46] does anyone here have any drbl experience? [06:46] rainman: try vmware [06:46] i added the line for my startup program to /etc/rc.local ,but when i apply using bum it says "Failed command execution". I copied and pasted the line char by char, so i don't know what to do. [06:47] ok === und3gr0und is now known as und3rgr0und [06:47] FrozenInferno: what's the line? [06:47] Yachaziel, so no clue what i need to do? [06:47] does anyone know how to extract multiple .zip archives with one command/ [06:47] ? [06:47] with p7z [06:48] ahh i fixed it [06:48] chaosrl: have you tired putting a space between each file? [06:48] well maybe 2morro cuz im 2 sleepy 2 do any confusin shit haha [06:48] su - brian -c "cd /folding; ./fah6 >/dev/null &" [06:48] anolis: I am looking it up. [06:48] anolis: Oh? What did you do? [06:48] Muhammad_Saad: do you have any ideas of how to get it to work? [06:48] Yachaziel, i fixed it.. some how.. i went to the Appearance preferences.. apparently "Extra" wasn't checked.. [06:48] so.. yea.. [06:48] Moncky: i totally forgot about that. i was trying to use "7z e *.zip" but it wouldn't process [06:48] FrozenInferno: you can skip the su - part [06:48] apparently running compiz by itself doesn't work? [06:48] oh wait [06:49] nevermind [06:49] i have 66 archives that need to be unpacked... [06:49] missed the brian [06:49] When running Exaile in 8.04, I can not choose any plugins (the plugin window just hangs the entire Exaile app). Anyone else? [06:49] anolis: I see. [06:49] do you have a user brian? [06:49] yeah, that's the account i use [06:49] does the line work if you manually type it at the command line? [06:49] and i got 2 work on beryl2 dam [06:49] yeah it does [06:49] Nevermind: found a command-line argument to do what I wanted. [06:50] im in mexico! [06:50] hamish_: I have never experienced something like that but may be you should try this. Go to System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media. Set the options such that the device is not mounted automatically and then try to change the mount point. [06:50] emerald isn't working now.. i can't seem to control the theme im using.. [06:50] i'm setting up my web cam. drivers are installed. how do I preview its server? I'm setting up motion to do stop motion movies [06:50] FrozenInferno: take the >/dev/null off the line so you see it's output [06:51] You'll still want the & [06:51] sigh.. got that working.. but had to restart window decorator to get the settings to apply [06:51] In fact, even now when starting Exaile, it automatically opens the Plugins screen and the program hangs... [06:51] oh well im happy now [06:51] i hope no one minds if i re-ask my question. Can someone tell me if there is a way to apt-get install all packages made from the source package "openmpi" in one foul swoop, or do i need to apt-get each package individually? [06:51] here is a link to the package information: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/hardy/openmpi [06:51] hm... I'm attempting to resize a partition with GParted on the Hardy Live CD, but it fails when running resize2fs, returning that 'e2fsck' should be run. I've run it many times, and GParted itself runs it before resizing... Any ideas? [06:52] endeavormac, do you mean all packages that start with 'openmpi', or its dependencies? [06:52] it runs fine izzy, the processes start in system monitor and everything. it just won't apply with rc.local and bum [06:52] endeavormac: why not use synaptic to select each one [06:52] endeavormac, sure just sudo apt-get install all packagename [06:52] hamish_: did that work? [06:53] well "openmpi" doesn't have any dependencies [06:53] there is nothing in there for drives [06:53] it's a source package or something? [06:53] FrozenInferno: I"m thinking its a path issue then, but the >/dev/null would hide such from you [06:53] you know what, maybe i need to do a little research in to the whole apt repository deal [06:53] only cameras , printers ,PDA's and input devices [06:54] well ill b back another day [06:54] any clue why when i try to compile a kernel module patch it complains about the kernel not supporting loadable modules? has loadable module support been disabled since 7.10? [06:54] hamish_: nothing for storage devices? [06:54] i figured it out; that's not the problem command, the problem command is "source /home/brian/byond/bin/byondsetup" When i took that out, it worked. but that's the line the byond setup had me copy and paste as well [06:54] hm... I'm attempting to resize a partition with GParted on the Hardy Live CD, but it fails when running resize2fs, returning that 'e2fsck' should be run. I've run it many times, and GParted itself runs it before resizing... Any ideas? [06:54] or i get "could not find package openmpi" [06:55] The_PHP_Jedi, maybe do e2fsck? [06:55] nope , I am running 8.04 btw [06:55] <[R]> is there like a guide or something on how to use apt? [06:55] anolis, I did many times, and GParted already runs it before running resize2fs as well. [06:55] !apt | [R] [06:55] [R]: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [06:55] [R], yes, "man aptitude" [06:55] The_PHP_Jedi, oh.. [06:56] <[R]> anolis: won't that tell me how to use aptitude? [06:56] hamish_: there is a tab for removable media. [06:56] [R], ok then "man apt-get" [06:56] [R], man apt-cache [06:56] <[R]> anolis: something not as technical as a man page [06:56] How do I check what graphics card I have? [06:57] [R], apt-get --help [06:57] nothing i can see [06:57] [R], aptitude --help [06:57] Yachaziel: what is your make and model of computer? [06:57] meh, you know what. it's too late for partitioning. g'night [06:57] Yachaziel, try "lspci | grep VGA" [06:57] thanks though anolis [06:57] Moncky: IBM Lenovo Thinkpad R61i [06:57] DavidCraft: babies down. what was the link you found to your driver? [06:58] hamish_: I have to leave now. May be you can find an answer with Google. [06:58] The_PHP_Jedi, sorry i couldn't help.. maybe try getting the actual GParted live cd? [06:58] VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) [06:58] izzyb_: well I found another potential, though the readme wants linux already installed or something... http://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-56950&brandind=5000008 [06:59] DavidCraft: yeah, you're going to have fun with this [06:59] anolis, I'll try that and QTParted... I'll try it when I wake up though. Too late for me to install Debian and get it configured. [06:59] Yachaziel: http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/ThinkPad_R61i_Laptop_NG1A6UK/version.asp [06:59] Yachaziel: Intel GMA X3100 [06:59] meh figured.... I just want to get ubuntu server installed on this thing O_o [07:00] Moncky: Thanks a lot! [07:00] Muhammad_Saad : thank you anyway [07:00] what's the thing to do in terminal to update everything? [07:00] make sure all my software is up to date? [07:01] izzyb_: any other avenues or aproaches to sugest? I am almost out of ideas O_o. [07:01] cypha: apt-get install upgrade i think [07:02] cypha: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install [07:02] hello! :) [07:02] which mp3player would you guys recommen? [07:02] thanks FrozenInferno , it worked [07:02] :) [07:03] DavidCraft: what's the machine again? does it have other driver controllers? can you add a sata controller to it? [07:03] jah: personally, i use amarok to play my music [07:03] bazhang: i tried removing using those directions now i apt-get isnt working. it is now "unable to get lock" error. any ideas? [07:03] how do you do a lookup of the mirrors of the repositories? [07:04] DavidCraft: I had to deal with a install like this years ago and iirc the solution I used was to build the system on another drive, add the needed drivers for the raid controller then transfer the system to the raid drive and boot it back up [07:04] DavidCraft: it worked, but it was a pain [07:05] out side of that, you'll need an install disk that already knows about the controller you have. given it's an Ibm, and IBM supports linux, you may find such a disk exists [07:05] izzyb_: its a xseries 335 machine8676. ANd I can prob ADD a SATA controler but theres no power for IDE or SATA HDs [07:06] hmm *nods* i see [07:07] DavidCraft: yeah, sounds like you're going to have to do a lot of research, but it should be possible. you may find suse or redhat installs work out of the box since there are rpms for those systems [07:08] ogre, do you have any other like add/remove or such open? [07:08] aye I may try and use one of those... [07:08] well thanks again for your help anyways izzyb_. [07:08] bazhang: no [07:08] ogre, just synaptic? [07:08] bazhang: just apt-get [07:09] DavidCraft: np. sorry I couldn't be more help. [07:09] ogre, what does sudo apt-get update return Please pastebin the error message [07:11] DavidCraft: I find it funny that the install instructions for this controller pretty much require that you have another drive to install to [07:11] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14721/ [07:12] ok, keyboard layout is pissing me off. I have usa-default and usa-intl in my layouts, and i have rt-alt set to switch between them. i have usa-default as my default layout, but when i hold rt-alt to use us-intl, it doesn't switch back to us-default. question mark? [07:13] ogre seems like there is a problem with your sources.list could you cat /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin please === co_ckp is now known as co_ca3m_pengen [07:15] bazhang: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14722/ thanks for the help btw [07:18] i did sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome to get this program to talk here now how do i connect to another channel? and can sum1 give me a channel about politics? [07:18] ogre normally that error means that another process (add/remove, synaptic ) is open; could you double check that they are not running, and if not try to open one or both of them and see if they return the same error. [07:19] hey.. hmm, what is the exact command to search for the location where a certain file is located? [07:19] #politics s3a_ [07:19] s3a_, just type /join #channame [07:19] oops [07:20] bazhang: synaptic is giving me same error and I never use aptitude [07:20] <[volk]> how can I export an amarok playlist with all the files into a folder?

[07:21] hello room, last time i downlaod APTonCD which works fine, but when i start it the next day, all the packages are not listed on aptoncd anymore, does anyone knows how to fixed this [07:21] Slart: well I just need to find my ktorrent binary at the moment =) [07:21] bazhang: ive never used add/remove just synaptic and apt-get [07:22] jah: then find might do the trick... what is the name of the file? [07:22] ogre, how about trying to open it then (add/remove) then if that fails run the bot command [07:22] Can someone help me configure ddclient? [07:22] Hello all. I need help with gnome art. It installs fine but crashes when launching. [07:23] ogre, unless you are downloading stuff right now that should not be happening as your sources.list is fine [07:24] Help! I think i've killed my ubuntu [07:24] Slart, its just ktorrent ;) [07:24] Does anybody here know how to configure ddclient properly? [07:24] Yachaziel, how? [07:24] I was trying to run GW in WINE and my computer froze, so I rebooted the system [07:25] What happened after? [07:25] Now when I login all I see is a tan screen with a little grey block taking up the top left quarter of the screen [07:25] scary [07:25] bazhang: i think that fixed it but i get this error when following that pages command http://paste.ubuntu.com/14725/ [07:25] So no gui? [07:25] When I mouse over the grey block I get a text cursor, but nothig else [07:25] None [07:25] jah: the filename of the file you're looking for.. if you don't know what it's called searching will be that much harder [07:25] hmm.. [07:25] it hates me... =,( [07:26] How are you on chat? or are you on a different machine?

[07:27] Yachaziel, i would as a 'test' - install some other window manager/desktop from the terminal, and see if that one works properly. [07:27] Yeah that could work as well. [07:27] Dr_Willis, how? [07:27] Yachaziel, go to the console of the goofy machine and try 'sudo apt-get install jwm' [07:27] ogre, are you logged into kde session now or ubuntu? and can you see those kde packages in your applications folder or not (eg konversation etc) [07:28] pl [07:28] pne sec [07:28] Yachaziel, then at the gdm login screen, there is a menu at the bottom to select sessions.. Try the jwm session, or see if theres any other sessions in there also. [07:28] How do i set Nautilus to use Active mode instead of Passive mode when browsing FTP shares in Nautilus? [07:28] JWW?

[08:07] killakali408650: you shrink the windows volume first [08:07] james_027, right click on it try to open it with totem see if that'll work [08:07] but if i shrink vista on purpose [08:07] killakali408650, i let vista resize itself and leave a section o the hard drive 'unallocated' then i let the installer install to the 'unallocated' part of the drive [08:07] killakali408650: resizing the partition is pretty safe. I do it all the time [08:07] i need help. i cant boot to hardy. i think i lost grub. i need to restore it. i'm using livecd.....what do i do next?

[08:22] andin: Ok! One moment [08:22] andin: =D [08:22] james_027, looks alright... im afraid i dont know what might be the problem, i understand u have a slow connection, but if i may suggest trying a different audio player like audacious, make sure your audio works. [08:22] izzyb_: k, thanks anyway... i think i'll reinstall ubuntu... or kubuntu [08:22] you no spicking indonesia [08:22] d[X_X]b, i used to use the fusesmb tool all the time. but it has issues now for me. :( just as a test i tried smb4k to actually 'mount' the shares - and it worked like a champ. I cant even figure out a good place to start troubleshooting this stuff. :( [08:22] bazhang: you there? [08:23] andin: No, I do not speak bahasa indonesian. =( Trying to get you that chat. [08:23] d[X_X]b, technically the kde/gnome file managers dont mount the shares.. they 'browse' them. smb4k sees and mounts them. [08:23] may adress [08:23] Has anyone had trouble getting their microphone to work in Ubuntu 8.04? and if so, how did you fix it? [08:23] Rayvis, hm... lemme see i'll try to run it [08:23] Dr_willis but it used to browse and thats it. now its throwing the folder to my desktop and favorites [08:24] halo [08:24] kamu suka sama men [08:24] d[X_X]b, Yep. - makes it a little hard to troubleshoot. :( [08:24] andin: difahami? [08:25] itu km bisa bahasa indonesia [08:25] Dr_willis and when i rightclick the favorites the only option is unmount so i fig its mounting... [08:25] Yachaziel, what's up? [08:25] usser: thanks a lot [08:25] d[X_X]b, The forums seem to have others with similer issues.. checking for any fix's (so far none, just a lot of , it affects me also posts) [08:25] bazhang: What's the factoid for indonesian? [08:26] dr_willis how do i browse an nfs share? i only know smb://computer [08:26] Yachaziel, !id [08:26] !id | andin [08:26] andin: join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [08:26] yes [08:26] thanks bazhang [08:26] d[X_X]b, i always just mount them. Not sure you can browse nfs likeyou can samba [08:26] Yachaziel, :) [08:26] how do i uninstall packages from terminal/ [08:27] how does one get to a USB key via command line? want to run fsck on one of mine, I think it's been damaged... [08:27] Uplink: sudo aptitude remove [08:27] ty [08:27] dr_willis oh.... so how does one mount it? ie... i use ipaddress as the mount? \ [08:27] adin: saya nggak ngomong. =P [08:27] lol [08:27] !nfs [08:27] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [08:27] left as I figured it out [08:28] d[X_X]b, i always do it from the command line. or fstab file - for linux to linux - NFS is the way to go. :) [08:28] kewl thnx [08:28] d[X_X]b, or for somthing quick - i use the sshfs tool [08:29] back soon guys [08:29] hmm.. funny i setup an smb/nfs... and i never knew...i tried nfs://computer...it failed haha...thanx dr_willis [08:29] i have a question... why when i right click !iptables [08:29] 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). [08:30] d[X_X]b, nfs is radically different from samba :) === drtadbmmdllm is now known as eth01 [08:30] So here's my problem. I have attempted to install Ubuntu 8.04 x64 onto a blank drive, however when install is complete it then gives me a prompt for init. Though funny thing it tries to make it go to hd0,0 though the live cd sees it as sda [08:30] what browser should i use to watch netflix? [08:30] d[X_X]b, in the forums - people have reported that using the older samba packages - gets their stuff working... go figure. :) === Unique is now known as Ashex [08:30] ross_: you need windows for netflix [08:31] is there anything that i canuse [08:31] to watch netflix [08:31] in ubuntu [08:31] i have a question... why when i right click ross_: you need windows, and all it's activex drm fun [08:31] Dr_willis yea unny how updates can be harmful... i lost so much with this upgrade to 8 [08:31] anyone else with a different opinion on this one? [08:31] ross_: it's a fact! :p [08:31] d[X_X]b, i did a clean install.. not upgrade.. :) and still have the same issue. [08:31] can I install internet explorer in ubuntu and use it to watch netflix o rnor? [08:32] ubuntu isn't very good when it comes to samba and such like. [08:32] Rayvis, doesnt even start on my laptop, must be video card, it works fine on my desktop with nvidia card [08:32] eth01, it used to work fine.. but since hardy.. ive had issues. sadly. [08:32] use a basic OS such as netbsd or archlinux [08:33] any ideas why the drive won't boot the kernel and sends me to init [08:33] debian is also another option, samba works well.. [08:33] astro76: what bout installing internet explorer in ubuntu [08:33] i have a question... why when i right click astro76: to watch netflix [08:33] ross_: it relies on windows media player 11 DRM [08:33] astro76: damn [08:33] Dr_willis: then don't use it. [08:33] astro76: there is no other way around it? [08:33] ross_: trust me I feel your pain [08:33] Usser: I have read that WoW will run fine through Wine with an Nvidia card. When I get some money saved up, I'll be building a new desktop with an Nvidia card. I suppose I'll wait until then to be able to play WoW. [08:34] I have been having trouble with my network connection and found a post saying this driver was not part of the kernal but you can get it... I don't know how to do what it says though. If anyone can explain it more I would be greatful [08:34] someone else [08:34] eth01, thank you for the comentary. I will go back to reading the forums now. [08:34] The 2.6 kernel includes this driver as a module called b44. It is accessible in the kernel configuration under Device Drivers/Networking support/Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)/. Select "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers", and "Broadcom 4400". You may compile it as a module named b44. [08:34] has to have a solution for this [08:34] Rayvis, you can play on an ATI though it can be a bit tricky [08:34] netflix cannot just be for windows only [08:34] can u help me? need to know how to make thunar opening samba shares [08:34] ? [08:34] err Usse is the one with the problem yes [08:34] there's gotta a solution [08:34] Rayvis, just dual boot with windows, and yea it definetely runs with nvidia [08:35] DigiDaemon: I have also read about getting it to work with an ATI card. However I have Intel Mobile 945GM and I can't get it to work properly. === u^A_ is now known as u^A [08:35] Intel hurts my feelings [08:35] Usser: Do you have any ideas of how I can get my microphone to work in Ubuntu? [08:35] Rayvis, good luck to you on that though you can pick up a decent nVidia for like 70 80 USD [08:36] Dr_willis: hah. [08:36] Dr_willis: advice to say the least. [08:36] usser: i try audacious and i work, I wonder y rhythmbox doesn't work ... do you have any suggestion of player that could support ipod [08:37] Rayvis, im afraid i cant suggest anything beyond fiddling with mixer settings [08:37] james_027: try Amarok [08:37] james_027, amarok all the way [08:37] guys, I'm on the liveCD right now and its asking to make a swap partition so I'm asking you A) How big it should be B) Primary or Logical C)Mount Point [08:38] and also where the location of the partition should be (beginning or end) [08:38] there's no mount point for swap [08:38] haha your right [08:38] how big should it be though? [08:38] i generally put my swaps at the start of a disk [08:38] Shervin: it should be a little bit larger than your RAM [08:38] DigiDaimon, usser: i am kind of hesitating... isnt amarok for KDE? using it in gnome could be slow? i really don't know... [08:38] generally my swap is at least 1GB [08:38] Ok so I have 1 gig so 2? [08:38] james_027 no it will run just fine, did on my machines every time. [08:39] swap files are rarely used in computers with 2gb RAM + [08:39] it also depends on your HDD size [08:39] James_027: I use Amarok in Ubuntu and it works fine. [08:39] Is it primary or logical? [08:39] depends on the rest of your layout [08:39] Shervin: logical or primary shouldn't matter, but the number of primary partitions are restricted to three if you have logical partitions, so make it logical [08:39] james_027, if u have a relatively new computer it'll run just fine [08:40] partition no. 5 will automatically become a logic one [08:40] if you just have one root/boot partition, it doesn't matter if your swap is primary or logical [08:40] thanks everyone [08:40] right, i've got 3 partitions right now 1for ubuntu 2 for xp 3 for data [08:40] now this swap file shoudl be logical? [08:40] Shervin: yes [08:40] anyone can help, how to install wine in Ubuntu 7.10 [08:40] depends on how much space you have left after creating the swap [08:40] !wine | I_need_help [08:40] I_need_help: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [08:40] i tried several times... but error [08:40] i've got like 250 gb space left [08:41] I_need_help: sudo apt-get install wine?

[08:42] I_need_help: or crossoverx? [08:42] Cedega shouldn't conflict with Wine as I have both installed on my machine fine. [08:42] crossover is better for those applications more resource hungry [08:42] im newbie in linux. i dont know what is that [08:42] Not sure about Crossover though. [08:43] but, when i instal wine, its still fresh installation of ubuntu 7.10 [08:43] i have no installa anysoft b4.

[08:57] eth01, apt-get update is still updating [08:57] MOzartstaedter: ping -c 10 [08:57] thx a lot [08:57] douye: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/xserver-xorg see how those depends are set up? the -all packages (both input and video) depend on every arch it seems. Depending on what gets chosen when you install, you may find yourself with all of those. [08:57] do i need samba for filessharing b/w ubuntu machines? [08:58] magnus_: no [08:58] U_G_G: why is it taking so long? once you've done thats finished too, run apt-get install [08:58] Myrtti: how is it done? :) [08:58] yes magnetron. im in screen now [08:58] magnus_: will the ubuntu machine act as server or client? [08:58] douye: it'd be -nv [08:58] douye: Or, nvidia-glx with or without -legacy [08:58] magnetron: one server another client [08:58] eth01, i open ADD/REMOVE and its downloading applications auto.. [08:58] magnetron: both *buntu [08:58] I_need_help: is universe enabled? [08:58] flannel: so as i got a nvidia 8600M GT card i should only need the nvidia version of it? [08:58] douye: See the first two things after -video-2 [08:59] s3a: what are you trying to make ? a banner or sign? [08:59] U_G_G: these are commands which need to be run in SSH. [08:59] douye: correct, although the -nv version might not be a bad fallback in case something goes wrong. But yeah, you just need one of those. [08:59] cypha, that file xfr appears not to be working - fire it up on the web somewhere instead? [08:59] you can do it with ssh(fs) (easy, safe, slow), or nfs (easyish, not that safe unless inside safe network, fast) [08:59] oh ok [08:59] magnus_: ^ [08:59] no, only checkbox number 2 [08:59] no, only checkbox number 2 from up [09:00] U_G_G: so before i lose my patience. load terminal, and enter sudo apt-get update and once thats finished run apt-get install [09:00] flannel: could that be the reason i cant adjust the nvidia card settings? (says i dont have a nvidia card installed, while it is using the driver seen by system -> administrator -> hardware driver) [09:00] Myrtti: i dont want to have to login ssh style.. [09:00] ok eth01, apt-update its going [09:01] U_G_G: k [09:01] Magnetron : no, only checkbox number 2 from up .. should i check all them ? [09:01] magnus_: that's not a problem if everything is setup properly [09:01] hi all [09:01] douye: I believe you need the nvidia-settings package for that. [09:01] Myrtti: mhm... [09:02] I_need_help: "main", "universe" and "restricted" should be enabled [09:02] flannel: i've got the nvidia xserver settings app installed [09:02] flannel: and that package you named is installed [09:02] i have a question... why when i right click eth01, why is apt-get update installing so many things [09:02] douye: I don't know. You'll have to ask someone who has experience with it. [09:02] does any1 know hot to make a http post or get request from the command line to a servre [09:02] server [09:03] what filesystem should I chose for an external HDD, that is only used as a storage device and also other computers i.e. WindowsXP/Linux/Mac machines should be able to directly connect to it. (actually the storage is at a router-pc, so everyone can connect via samba, but it's important if I move the storage around, eg. to a friends house) [09:03] how do i start xmms2 via terminal? [09:03] U_G_G: it's not installing anything. it's just refreshing the cache basiically [09:03] flannel: and in the xorg.conf or something the display driver is also named nvidia :P which makes it weird but oh well [09:03] i am using ubuntu 7.10 [09:03] basically, even [09:03] ok i see [09:03] U_G_G: has that finished now.. [09:03] how do i start xmms2 via terminal? [09:03] magnus_: bwah, can't find the good tutorial right away [09:03] 3 packages, 24% 24 % and 61% .. and counting.. [09:04] hehe [09:04] What is the linux correlation of COM2? [09:04] Myrtti: maybe samba is easier then .. im a noob :) [09:04] NeedHelp: /dev/ttyS1 [09:04] tyler: xmms2 [09:04] Thankyou [09:04] Magnetron : i did [09:05] landscape is not making me print to file sideways with openoffice.org [09:05] U_G_G: ok [09:05] Astro: Just in case, how about COM1 [09:05] s3a: what are you trying to make ? a banner or sign? [09:05] i have a question... why when i right click legend2440: huge letters to stick on a poster [09:06] magnus_: if you're in a safe environment, use nfs [09:06] Flannel: http://pastebin.org/38560 I get this when i type that [09:06] magnus_: it's quite straightforward to set up, perhaps even easier than sshfs [09:06] what is the better filesystem for a storage device that gets read and written alot but changed/deleted rarely? ntfs or ext3? both have disadvantages concerning connectibility [09:06] s3a: http://linux.about.com/library/bl/open/newbie/blnewbie7.1banner.htm [09:06] I_need_help: great, now "reload" again and try to install wine again [09:06] NeedHelp: /dev/ttyS0 [09:06] where can i get AUDIO CODECS? [09:06] !codec | Uplink [09:06] Uplink: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [09:06] magnus_: and it's fast. I get 1MB/s with sshfs and 10MB/s with nfs [09:06] Myrtti: nfs is that a package? [09:06] Astro76: Thanks again. I think I got it [09:07] Magentron : u mean i turn back to add/remove menu ? [09:07] Flannel: http://pastebin.org/38560 I get this when i type that [09:07] tyler: That's the xmms2 help thing. you'll need to let it know what you actually want. You ran the program, it noticed you didn't ask it to do anything, so it told you so. [09:07] magnus_: the serverside needs ... well I've got "nfs-kernel-server" [09:07] and the client side needs nfs-common [09:07] over one thousand people, cool [09:07] eth01, still there? [09:08] Myrtti: thx :) [09:08] Flannel: the program is not running though... [09:09] tyler: It finished, because you didn't tell it to do anything. What are you trying to get to happen? [09:09] Magnetron : now running downloading package [09:09] I_need_help: hit Reload in Synaptic, then close Synaptic and use "add/remove" again [09:09] I_need_help: good luck [09:09] A UI program to open up...is this just a command based program or what? [09:09] tyler: It is. for a GUI, you want to install "gxmms2" [09:10] Flannel: do you use amarak? [09:10] tyler: No [09:10] Madpilot: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_8.1211788898.png [09:10] whats the best gnome music program that i can have a aplet in the gnome bar to control it [09:11] eth01, i finish installing filezilla-common, but it doesnt shows up anywhere on the application list? === davincic0de18 is now known as jp17cam [09:11] cypha, interesting. Right-clicking on that extra box doesn't do anything? [09:11] brings up the same menu [09:11] Magnetron : thank you so much [09:12] from where if i got to preferences, i can choose the rows by columns [09:12] cypha, as the desktop-chooser widget? have you tried removing it entirely and re-installing it on the panel? [09:12] U_G_G: umm? [09:12] tyler: U_G_G for the menu item, you need to install `filezilla` [09:12] tyler: sorry, that wasn't for you [09:12] ok ty [09:12] it's not a widget tho? [09:12] just an option for the panel, right? [09:12] U_G_G: i hadn't finished with you, but yes, you need to install filezilla. [09:13] *-common is just the complicated stuff btw [09:13] I_need_help: you're welcome [09:13] èé/j #freebsd [09:13] morning... is there a way to get better fonts for ubuntu, in particular Firefox and the like? [09:13] [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Hardy GNOME shows most programs in English although all locales of 'locale' are set to German e. g. LANG=de_DE.UTF8. "~$ dpkg-reconfigure locales" only added a new line "en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date". Also erasing of .gnome, .gnome2 und .gconf and restart did not change that. How to troubleshoot? [09:14] bullgard4: your problem is familiar to me. I had it in Vista too. I have opted to run operating systems in a single language. [09:15] i have 2 images how can i make one (the smaller one) be on top (in the corner) of the other one? [09:15] using gimp [09:15] robg_: what program? [09:15] ronnie: ? [09:15] nothing.. [09:16] robg_: I'd like to run it in a single language: German. It used to work in Gutsy. It does not work any longer in Hardy. How to tell Hardy to use German only? [09:16] any1 here use gimp? [09:16] kinda s3a [09:16] help? [09:16] how do you install kde with apt-get? [09:16] bullgard4: I have never been able to run an OS completely in any other language than US English. Some things are translated, but never everything. [09:17] HappyHater: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [09:17] guys, how do i open a .ai adobe illustrator file ? [09:17] thanks [09:17] robg_: Well, I told you that it worked for me in Gutsy. [09:17] Dew420: how do i fuse 2 images and make one on top of the other? [09:17] o.O [09:17] good day guys, has anyone stumble with a bug in php a single echo statement execute at 5 sec delay even on commandline [09:18] bullgard4: then that was an exception [09:18] I dno man im baked [09:18] google it [09:18] !bugs | leejohn [09:18] leejohn: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [09:18] bullgard4: if you read German computer magazines, there is a lot of whining about translation. [09:18] Dew420: as in drugs? [09:19] robg_: You missed the point. [09:19] magnetron: ok, i will file a bug report on this [09:19] leejohn: thank you [09:19] bullgard4: translation is an ongoing issue that never completely satisfies. [09:19] i have an extra box under my workspace that can't be switched to [09:20] bullgard4: what does System > administration > language support yield? [09:21] i have an extra box under my workspace thing in the panel, that can't be switched to. i have compiz off, no desktop effects, 1x1 rows and columns. any ideas? [09:22] eth01, done [09:23] magnetron: Language Support > Supported Languages > Language German support asserted. No more assertions. -- Default language for new useraccounts and the login screen: 'Deutsch (Deutschland)'. [09:25] bullgard4: you may also mahev made wrong choices during install [09:25] if a motherboard supports ddr ram does it supprt all ddr ram there is? lets say if the ram is faster than it can handle does it still work at a slower speed? does it just not work? or does it cause damage to the motherboard? [09:26] Uhm, maybe a little off topic, but does anyone know how to save logs in irssi? [09:26] bullgard4: if you hit the "apply" button, does it wanna install complementary language support? [09:26] s3a: A fater RAM works fine and does not do any harm [09:27] s3a: damage unlikely. OS will inform you if RAM is recognized. [09:27] guys, does anyone know how to open .ai files ? [09:28] magnetron: At the moment 'Apply' is greyed out. So pressing it does not effect anything. [09:28] babo: http://filext.com/file-extension/AI [09:28] bullgard4: ok [09:28] is there a linux equivalent to "net view"? [09:28] what is net view [09:29] magnus_: what should it do? [09:29] hi, is there a wway I can make ubuntu redo my fstab automatically? [09:29] bullgard, robg_, k thx [09:29] Effex: read Configuration Options http://wiki.redbrick.dcu.ie/mw/Irssi [09:29] Baby_Shambl3s: mount -a if that's what you mean [09:29] i got 2 images in1 gimp window [09:29] Baby_Shambl3s: did you edit it manually? [09:29] how do i make the smaller pic larger? [09:29] s3a: scale the layer [09:29] Assuming you got layers [09:30] magnetron: no I just want it to be redone by the OS to include my other HDs [09:30] hey guys do you know of any torrent server software that can be installed on a *nix box? im hoping to serve torrents via my webhost and hoping there is some alternative to torrentflux? to many restrictions? ie login etc.. otherwise awesome? [09:30] dennda: mount -a [09:31] dennda: mount -a? [09:31] magnetron: just want to look up the ip numbers on the network. [09:31] magnus_: the ip numbers of the computers on the SMB network? [09:31] Baby_Shambl3s: man mount will tell you what that option does. Basically it remounts any of the devices. But I may have misunderstood your question [09:31] After running a system update on one of my computers, I tried to ssh into it but got this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14744/ What does this mean? Should I worry? [09:31] How do I make seahorse use my new non-vulnerable SSH key? [09:32] magnetron: no not smb.. [09:32] magnetron: my local network ie computers connected to the router [09:32] what do i have to do to know my ip address? [09:32] hello [09:32] Hello. I am trying to run multiple sessions of x display (so taht I can run a full-screen game on one session). I hit "ctrl+alt+f1", log-in, and then run "startx -- :1". However, it switches screens but never really starts up the new x session. When I got back to ctrl+alt_f1 it says "X Client 1 rejected from local host. No protocal specified. [09:33] magnus_: net view lists computers in your SMB network. isn't this what you wanna do? [09:34] dennda: this is a clean install two hds are mounting automatically but the others aint, I could edit the fstab one by one but I wish to know if there is a way for the OS to re-write the fstab again but this time including the other hds that might not have been present at the time [09:34] i am just typing a bug report for Xubuntu... can you please tell me which package should i choose it has the bug if the lock screen mechanism is not working? [09:34] w3rd_: looked at libapache2-mod-bt ? [09:34] naw? [09:35] is gdm the package it has this locking screen mechanism (which is not working at all) ? [09:35] ljsoftnet: in terminal type ifconfig or go here http://whatismyip.com/ [09:35] magnetron: i use ssh to connect to other computers not samba... i just want to see which ip-adressess are in use instead of having to ping each one or something... [09:37] sixforty: question, where the heck is the messaging software for this type of server located? is it redistributed?http://kos.enix.org/pipermail/daily-debian-package/2007-February/000876.html [09:37] magnus_: sounds like ajob for nmap [09:37] plik: ok [09:37] i love the threads...simple and public... === SuprUsr is now known as Thingus [09:37] lot of systems based upon this... [09:37] i have a question... why when i right click magnus_: sure, but how should you get the ip adresses of the if they have no hostname, no SMB name or any name at all? how would your computer be able to find the IP adress out of nothing? if you want to replace net view, you can use nmblookup and smbtree [09:39] Uplink: right click mp3 then properties>open with and choose amarok [09:40] legend2440, it wont show up [09:40] magnetron: "how should i" well i dont know thats why im here lol. [09:40] http://rafb.net/p/40Ok7229.html <-- anyone know how to fix that? [09:40] Uplink: then Add amarok [09:40] w3rd_: I can't parse your q. Shows what I know. [09:41] hi, can anybody here recommend a piece of software for keeping a personal log of projects (both software and other things)? [09:41] magnus_: you are both asking me for how to do it and what to do. [09:41] legend2440, it should be there by default [09:41] magnetron: ok [09:41] any good guide for a stable web interface email server build ?

[09:41] it'll definitely fix on restart, but i want to know why this is happening at all? [09:41] and can it be refreshed without restarting? [09:42] magnus_: sudo aptitude install nmap && sudo nmap -sV 192.168.0.1/24 or something similar [09:42] look at the website,,, they are using a platform, some sort of messaging server software... im interested to know what that is? do you have any idea... [09:42] magnus_: my router adds computer names to my local DNS server, very useful. another solution would be to add computer names and IPs to your /etc/hosts [09:43] w3rd_ : are you talking about Apache itself? [09:43] i guess... umm but i dont think so... [09:44] http://kos.enix.org/pipermail/daily-debian-package/2007-February/000876.html [09:44] http://rafb.net/p/mlzVyG32.html <-- any ideas on how to fix this?

[09:46] magnus_: ok [09:46] magnus_: welcome, time to learn ;) [09:46] say, i can run X via startx but GDM / KDM gives me an error (something about not having a terminal) ... where should i look for the problem ?

But I can't see gfxboot on boot [09:48] Jokka: partition logic is contained in gparted. Possible options are presented. [09:48] hey question, if i modify my webserver to include libapache2-mod-bt? what use would it have? dont i need more than that to allow users to seed torrents via my server? or am i completely off? [09:49] Jokka: seeing you have a drive in there already it'll probably be "b" and next you need to partition and make a filesystem [09:49] Jokka: you can use cfdisk and fdisk as well [09:49] w3rd_: is your webserver running on ubuntu? [09:49] is there a way to restart my mouse, like i can restart X?

[10:00] jokoon: As in change their appearance? [10:00] i got it formatted to ext3 now [10:01] bigjoe4: umm then i don't know that i can help further. My PC is standalone at home currently using 7.10. perhaps your on 8.04 and it has changed [10:01] Yachaziel : yes, but I just want to change them [10:01] Jokka: I seriously doubt whether you can control that secondary drive from within linux. [10:01] robg_, how come? [10:01] isn't there an off-topic #ubuntu channel? Like #ubuntu-chat or something? [10:01] can gnome exist without nautilus? [10:02] Yachaziel : I have png and cur files of the cursor I want to use [10:02] Jokka: gparted is used outside linux [10:02] Lanlost: #ubuntu-offtopic (excellent question!) [10:02] robg_, hmm.. i dont get ur point rly.. [10:03] Jokka: when I use gparted I shut down the OS and boor gparted from CD-ROM [10:03] is there an acpi debug? [10:03] in the package manager? [10:03] thanks sixforty, it didn't seem to show up in the channel listing or in the topic [10:03] will ubuntu crap if I remove nautilus? [10:03] robg_, oh i see.. well i got it running right now [10:04] magnetron: what do you mean you dont answer question, is that like a riddle of some sort? [10:04] Jokka: you have it running on top of linux. [10:04] Baby_Shambl3s: i don't answer questions i don't know the answer too. [10:04] robg_ , oh ok. So what should i do the? i just opened /etc/fstab to see what i could find.. [10:05] magnetron: ok [10:05] Jokka; the secondary drive must by recognized by the machine at a hardware level. [10:05] is there any app i can create powerpoint presentations with in ubuntu? [10:06] king7: I'm close to certain if you remove nautilus you also remove ubuntu desktop so keep have a desktop manager around just incase unless you cna work in cli other than that it shouldnt [10:06] jah_: presentations or _powerpoint_ presentations? [10:06] Ok bad idea then [10:06] i get a "bios bug found" followed by some numbers(goes by so fast) after grub and before ubuntu loading screen [10:06] anybody know what is that? [10:06] ACPI fix I think outfaller, but don't quote me on that [10:06] Its a shell too I guess, I thought it was just a file manager, so I use rox-filer instead [10:06] Myrtti: POWERPOINT presentations ;) [10:07] robg_ , so i need to get my pc to understand i have a new harddrive init ? [10:07] outfaller: the bug is found because it is known, and almost certainly patched by the kernel [10:07] jah_: any spesific reason they need to be *powerpoint* presentations? [10:07] Can anyone give me more specific dirtions on how to do what these diretions say? -- The 2.6 kernel includes this driver as a module called b44. It is accessible in the kernel configuration under Device Drivers/Networking support/Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)/. Select "EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers", and "Broadcom 4400". You may compile it as a module named b44. [10:07] Jokka: only your hardware manufacturer can tell you whether your machine will support another harddrive. [10:07] so nothing to worry about? [10:07] Myrtti: yeah, well cos its the most common thing used in my college... so .ppt aint working?? which other presentationtools are there? [10:08] jah_: do it with Impress, export to pdf and show with a pdf-reader? [10:08] jah_: better yet, do it with LaTeX, export to pdf and show with a pdf-reader [10:08] so Impress would be the most common chose? [10:08] robg_ , well if i had it working before the pc should support it right? [10:09] Myrtti: ok... well... where can I fetch impress? [10:09] jah_: if you've got OpenOffice, you've got it already [10:09] Jokka: there is a difference between saving to a disk and booting from a disk. [10:09] I love the ubuntu-studio theme [10:10] Myrtti: nah, but Im getting it now... can u recommen any guide for getting started with latex [10:10] jah_: sure, hold on [10:10] Myrtti: thanks [10:10] robg_ , nvm. i got it working now:) ill reeboot and look if it stays up.. thx anyway. cheers mate [10:10] If I open up SSH (port 22) to the world how vulnerable am I? [10:11] it depends [10:11] Jokka: the proof of the pudding is in the eating [10:11] [GNOME] After dist-upgrade to Hardy GNOME shows most programs in English although all locales of 'locale' are set to German e. g. LANG=de_DE.UTF8. "~$ dpkg-reconfigure locales" only added a new line "en_US.UTF-8... up-to-date". Also erasing of .gnome, .gnome2 und .gconf and restart did not change that. Language support: German is asserted. How to troubleshoot? [10:12] robg_ lol. i guess so:p [10:12] jah_: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/, for LaTeX in presentations http://www.scribd.com/doc/28011/beamer-guide [10:12] robg_ , now in this drive, theres a lost+fund folder i cant enter, what is that? do u know? [10:13] also its named "160.0 gb media" wich pisses me off.. -.- [10:13] bullgard4: if you have not tried it, open synaptic and search "locale", see if all the 'de' items are installed. [10:13] Jokka: I still do not understand your plans. [10:14] robg_ , the plan is to get it empty from everything so i can put my movies in there, my other partition kinda got full last night ;) [10:14] Hi, I've just changed the content of /etc/environment. Is there a way to have Ubuntu to pick up the changes without having to restart the system? [10:14] hello [10:14] where is the changelog of ubuntu 7.10 ? [10:14] Jokka: the lost and found folder (I believe) is where files go when they get lost; ie, the partition becomes corrupted. You can rename the 160gb volume by changing the drive label [10:15] Jokka: that is a file operation from within an operating system. Ask somebody with knowlegde in Linux internals. [10:15] hello everybody [10:15] Is there a friendlier alternative to sed for making the same change across several files? [10:16] robg_ , so the lost+found could be traces from an old OS? [10:16] Jokka: cannot tell from here. I thought you wanted to boot from that drive. [10:16] adam7, i cant change it.. "operation not supported by blackened" [10:16] robg_ ,no i just want it as extra storage [10:16] Jokka: what filesystem is that? [10:17] ext3? [10:17] Jokka; for storage it needs to be formatted and recognized by the OS. [10:17] adam7, what is what? the lost+found? [10:18] robg_, well i have it runnin and all but i want it empty. [10:18] Jokka: what operation was not supported by the backend -- renaming the lost+found folder? I don't think you can do that [10:18] only the ext3 have the lost and found dir [10:18] Jokka: you cannot empty a drive. Partitions are deleted by deleting a pointer to a file. The file stays there until overwriten. [10:18] adam7, changing the name of drive, but i think i kinda found the problem. i need to convert it to ntfs. [10:19] Hi, I've just changed the content of /etc/environment. Is there a way to have Ubuntu to pick up the changes without having to restart the system? [10:19] hi there. after I've started up the system, the window border is gone. I mean there's no window border. there's no window decoration either. That doesn't happen everytime but someone has any idea of what triggers this window decorator behavior? [10:19] jokka, you cant use some tools to read the ext3 driver in the windows os [10:20] rodolfo_, Are you using desktop effects / compiz ? [10:20] michael_ , hu? [10:20] Jokka: you shouldn't have to convert it to ntfs to change the name -- I have a bunch of linux filesystem drives here with nice names [10:20] esteth: yes I am [10:20] in fact, if you plan to use hte drive with linux, don't use ntfs [10:20] changelog ? anybody knows ? it's to prove that ssl bug has been corrected in Ubuntu [10:20] adam7, well i cant put things into the drive either [10:20] A_I_: see the topic [10:21] Jokka: this is correct -- you'll have to set permissions on the drive to make it readable to other users than root [10:21] i made the drive ext3 in gparted [10:21] esteth: that's just because sometimes I need that zoom function that comes with C-F [10:21] rodolfo_, It's a fairly common problem. opening a terminal and launching "metacity --replace" or "emerald --replace" depending on which decorator you use should solve it [10:21] adam7, how to? [10:21] Jokka: do you know where the drive is mounted? [10:21] chmod [10:21] I found it. The command is rehash [10:22] adam7, i followed http://keystoneit.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/add-a-hard-drive-in-ubuntu/ [10:22] esteth, indeed it worked out. I have C-F icon already installed but I wonder if this problem has something to do with my video card, which is intel GMA915 [10:22] Jokka: do this in a terminal and post the output : ls /mount [10:22] adam7 thank you, too much speaking people here made it disappear ;-) [10:22] i made a folder in /media [10:22] adam 7 alrajt [10:23] esteth, or is this just a C-F issue? [10:23] Jokka: sorry, that command should read ls /media === [CroX] is now known as CroX [10:23] adam7, cdrom cdrom0 film floppy floppy0 Games mISC MP3 [10:23] its aint there [10:24] rodolfo_, I'm not aware with quite how the issue works, or it's origin, all i know is that restarting the window decorator solves it temporarily :( [10:24] oh, it was lol "film" is the one === sigv is now known as sigvart [10:24] Jokka: did you perform gparted operations on that disk ? [10:24] hey guys, i just compiled and ran a simple openGL code, it basically just displays a box. when i execute the executable from terminal, the image gets corrupted with with the terminal, and it doesnt have a minimize button, maximize, or close button [10:25] anyone knows how to solve it? [10:25] robg_ , what i did was formatting it to ext3 through gparted [10:25] Jokka: ok -- you should have to do all those steps in the wordpress page to get the hard drive in the same spot every time -- renaming the drive should be sufficent [10:25] sixforty: In Synaptic, searching for 'locale', I compared what German packages are installed with another well-functioning Hardy computer. I found no package missing. Besides, I opened another Ubuntu Linux user account on this computer. It showed all GNOME entries correctly in German. [10:25] Jokka: if you re-format a disk then you destroy everything on it. [10:25] esteth, huum can you help me with some tips to provide better details about this issue? next time it happens I will file a BR to compiz-fusion devs and let 'em know [10:26] Jokka: at any rate, since you've done that already, let's move on (will let you save stuff on the disk with any user): sudo chmod 777 /media/film [10:26] Jokka: I strongly advise you to save to plastic rather than steel. [10:26] When I press the mute button on my laptop, there is a delay for about 2 sec before the audio is muted. Is there any way to remove this delay? Volume up and down works with no delay, and mute PCMhas no delay... [10:26] rodolfo_, Normally searching the ubuntuforums will throw up the issue, and a link to a bug in the appropriate place. Searching the bugtracker for compiz (if there is one) might throw up a solution/cause in the comments, also [10:26] hi can anyone help me with the debmirror application pls? [10:26] adam7, thx, now it seems to be working. i wonder if i could just delete the folder wit rmdir [10:27] hey guys i need help [10:27] robg_ , hu..? u confuse me:P [10:27] Jokka: lost+found? I don't think you can, but I might be wrong [10:27] !ask | ubuntu [10:27] ubuntu: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:27] what happened to the k7-optimized kernel in ubuntu? there seems to be only a generic kernel and an ancient i386 one [10:27] Jokka: use CDs, DVDs, Blue Ray [10:27] adam7. worked perfectly [10:27] Jokka: ok, good to know [10:28] can anyone help me [10:28] hey, where can i upload a picture so that you guys can view it [10:28] ubuntu: we need to know what your question is first [10:28] adam7, yeah. but i still cant rename it [10:28] i need someone to take a look at what's wrong with my desktop [10:28] wizo: try xs.to, it'll give you a url [10:28] ok thanks adam7 [10:28] bullgard4: ls -a in the ~ of the original user and of the new, working user. Compare the dotfiles. Sorry, but I think that's as far as I can take you. [10:29] esteth thank you. [10:29] i installed ubuntu and i have a wireless card but it doesnt read it or doesnt let me log on to the internet using it [10:29] Jokka: tune2fs -L newname /dev/hdx1 where /dev/hdx1 is the drive you want to rename === Carnage` is now known as Carnage\ [10:29] adam7, w000t? [10:29] so? [10:29] ubuntu a lot will depend on the EXACT wireless card you have. [10:30] !wireless | ubuntu [10:30] ubuntu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [10:30] how do i enable desktop effects in ubuntu? [10:30] Dr_willis: lazy [10:30] oh [10:30] c1|freaky: system, preferences, appearance [10:30] Jokka: you get it? [10:31] adam7, nope [10:31] where does ubuntu get the 'template' for new user's home directory? I'm used to /home/skel. [10:31] eth01, hes all yours then. [10:31] can i see passwords in linux? [10:31] not really but ill try to figure it out [10:31] adam7, that last thing made me look like a big question mark [10:31] Jokka: do you know the device name of your hard drive? [10:31] Jokka: is it a usb drive? [10:31] no its not [10:32] adam7 dev/sdb1 [10:32] its built in to my laptop [10:32] Jokka: ok, so using : tune2fs -L newname /dev/sda1 [10:32] how to mount my usb device [10:32] ubuntu - start with tracking down your exact wireless card/chipset - thats a must know bit of info., the command 'lspci' will give you some info that should mention the card/chipset [10:32] adam7, run that in terminal but change "newname" to the name? [10:33] sixforty: Comparing the dotfiles is tedious, isn't it? -- What I have done last night, in ~ I renamed .gnome, .gnome2 and .gconf and rebooted. There was no change in the language of the GNOME identifiers. [10:33] Jokka: yep -- you might have to sudo it, I'm not certain [10:33] hi, is there issue with firefox 3 on ubuntu that this app is not staying at the bottom of the apps or beneath them? anyone know how to fix this? On 7.10 firefox 2 didn't had this issue === Effex is now known as BrokenShadow [10:33] adam7, tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1 was the anserw [10:33] where do i change the name sorry im a newbie [10:34] ubuntu, type "/nick yournewname" without the " === BrokenShadow is now known as Effex [10:34] adam7: know of any other sites? xs.to doesnt seem to be loading.. [10:35] wizo: imageshack.us [10:35] ah yes [10:35] one sec [10:35] wtf! it still has 7gig used..

[10:36] adam7, yeah.. allthough ls gives me nothin ^^ [10:37] Jokka: I think some of the space might be reserved for the root user -- I don't know how to fix that though [10:37] hi - can someone help me with some hard disk management in ubuntu - im not sure what im doing exactly [10:37] as you can see, i ran the ./test which is an openGL application, which is meant to show a window and a white square on a white background, but instead i see this. can anyone help [10:37] adam7, well lets have it like that now, i need to go take a crap:) lol thx for all help mate [10:37] !ask | roycruse [10:37] roycruse: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:37] Jokka: no problem [10:37] roycruse: what do you have and what do you want to do. === sixforty is now known as garbag1 [10:38] wizo: turn of compiz, try it again :P === garbag1 is now known as sixforty [10:38] adam7: turn of as in no effects at all?

[10:39] wizo: the effects don't like opengl very much [10:39] ok i found my wireless card info now what do i do [10:39] :P [10:39] so.. is that a bug or? [10:39] adam7: ah i see.... [10:39] king7, you just need to install the ubuntu artwork [10:39] this take so long time, upgrading gutsy to hardy ... [10:39] wizo: some would call it that. I'm pretty sure you don't need to bother with a report, as it happens for most of us :) [10:40] Can anyone help with getting ubuntu to re-recognize my nvidia gfx card? There is no option for me to select my drivers in the Restricted Drivers [10:40] adam7: ah ok, cool cool, i guess i can live without the fancy stuff [10:40] wizo: yeah, you can turn it on/off as needed.

[10:43] roycruse: repartitioning destroys everything on the drives [10:43] killerboy [10:43] if I installed kubuntu and additionally installed ubuntu-desktop and would now like to remove all kubuntu applications, KDE and everything from kubuntu so i get a vanilla ubuntu-desktop - is that possible?

[10:44] brb [10:44] ok [10:44] roycruse: ask somebody with knowlegde of linux internals how to mount the drives in linux. [10:45] you are welcome [10:45] adam7: osmo is not in the respitories? [10:45] how do I stop ubuntu from asking for default keyring when the PC starts? [10:46] roycruse, theres a great many guides/tutorials on mounting - it depends on what exactly you are trying to mount.. In short -> 'sudo mount /dev/devicename /media/mountpoint' [10:46] michael_: hmm, i haven't found any apples photos [10:46] tyler: it may not be, one sec, I'll get you a link [10:46] hi [10:46] does anyone know of a good calender/appointments/tasks/ application with reminders for ubuntu? Anyone else....thanks adam7 [10:47] how can i get a list of devices so i now what named disk to mount [10:47] michael_: some other places to look at? [10:47] tyler: yeah, you better find another one unless you are feeling lucky ;) [10:47] Hi All. What's the best media player you all think? [10:47] they only have source, no ubuntu packages [10:47] !best | StrongMotive [10:47] roycruse, sudo fdisk -l should show all devices on the system [10:47] StrongMotive: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:47] vcl [10:47] sorry [10:47] i find all my theme from there [10:47] StrongMotive: having said that, vlc and mplayer are usually work well [10:47] can anyone tell me how to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.24.18? [10:48] adam7: theres gonna be a mainstream one thats in the respitories....sometimes they intrigrate this stuff in email clients or whatever [10:48] does anyone know of a good calender/appointments/tasks/ application with reminders for ubuntu? Anyone else.... [10:48] tyler: yeah, check out evolution [10:48] anyone else tried evolution? [10:48] !info evolution [10:48] evolution (source: evolution): groupware suite with mail client and organizer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.22.1-0ubuntu3.1 (hardy), package size 2539 kB, installed size 8316 kB [10:49] tyler: evolution is annoying but does the job. Sunbird is worth checking out [10:49] dosent fluxbox have one also. called orange? or somthing like that. [10:49] oops i mean xfce. :) [10:49] i don't like evolution but it's got a lot of features [10:49] bryanWB: you prefer sunbird over evolution then? [10:49] BryanWB: I have notices Gmail notifiers in Add/Remove [10:50] Does anyone know of a lightweight email client that can minimize to tray and play sounds on new mail? [10:50] tyler: haven't tried sunbird but it's connected to Thunderbid whick I prefer to Evolution [10:50] king7 [10:50] Ok, all I had to do was: apt-get remove usplash-theme-ubuntustudio [10:50] and it reverted it [10:50] I'm experiencing an intermittent solid freeze on suspend of my Thinkpad running Gutsy. In order to locate the problem and locate/create an appropriate bug report I need to figure out a way to determine what is actually happening that might be causing this. Can anyone suggest any such methods? [10:50] tyler: you can try evolution, it comes with ubuntu by default, so there won't be any installing [10:50] adam7: how do you add ssh keys now? [10:50] michael_: ? [10:50] you can install the startupmanager [10:50] michael_: hey, i found something very interesting: http://www.wallpaperpimper.com [10:50] yeah [10:50] tyler_2: I don't know :/ [10:50] lol tyler_2 sup [10:50] i am having problems with my wireless chipset drivers can anyone help [10:50] no the bootmanager [10:51] sorry for that [10:51] michael_: many photos [10:51] in fstab when using command noexec what is eman by binary i.e. programs?

[10:52] I am looking for an ssh key handler, seahorse will not recognise my ssh keys :( [10:53] adam7: its alright man, just a bit frustrated on this one thing is all [10:53] in fstab when using command noexec what is meant by binary i.e. programs? If that si sued could users still open music files from th HD? [10:53] Thank you [10:53] wtf is it with Turkey? [10:53] Baby_Shambl3s, anything thats been marked 'executable' ie: with chmod +x whatever [10:54] is there a way to configure the gnome language settings within the home folder? [10:54] today I've had a massive amount of ICQ spam from Turkish people [10:54] Baby_Shambl3s, since music files are not normally executable - shouldent be a issue. [10:54] ive tried typing sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb1 but i get the error bad primary partition 0 - how can i repartition this disk [10:54] is there anyone can help me ,when i start the firefox 3 beta 5 ,sometimes it will be fullscreen mode [10:55] roycruse: /dev/sdb [10:55] Life hier? [10:55] Dr_willis: ok just need to know this is a media hd just for music and films, a few word documents and pdfs so need to know if they would still run with the command noexec if it was included in fstab [10:55] roycruse: the "1" means the first partition [10:55] michael_: Most likely it will stay in whatever the mode was when it was last quit. So close all windows, launch it, set the size, then quit. All should be normal. Mind you, I've not tried this, but I expect that is how it will work. [10:55] Can anyone guide me through getting ubuntu to recognize my nvidia gfx card? In the Hardware Drivers section there are no options for me to select a driver. === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [10:56] owh: thank you [10:56] Baby_Shambl3s, try it and see.. will proberly work. but it proberly wont matter much either way. Its more of a security thing but proberly wont affect you much. [10:56] this is an example from the net user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 however I wish to include in that the only I have write permission while everyone has read permission, what do I add or change? [10:56] i meant it will fullscreen like pressed the f11 button [10:57] Dr_willis: thanx will do so having to manually add things to fstab as the disks werent present when ubuntu installed :'( [10:57] Do you guys like firefox3 over opera? [10:57] and the bord of firefox will go under my gnome panel [10:57] Baby_Shambl3s, i rarely see noexec used. If you are truely paranoid I guess. :) Dont forget the nosuid also! [10:57] !poll | king7 [10:57] king7: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [10:57] so i cant close it [10:57] michael_ I understand what you are saying, but if you quit the browser completely and start it, set the window properly, then quit it with that single window, all should be back to normal. [10:58] xlogik ... you have to be connected to the internet. when you enable the driver ( your're on the right window) an ypdated driver will be downloaded and then you hv to restart to enable it. [10:58] Nothing but bots in this channel [10:58] ok [10:58] thank you [10:58] i just think that maybe some script do this [10:58] Dr_willis: what does nosuid does, i am not paranoid but i just dont want others running games etc on the disk, just want them to listen or watch the movies I got thats all [10:58] king7: bestbot collects opinions - go ask him [10:59] How do I pause the Compiz cube in mid rotation PERMANENTLY, until the end of time (well, maybe for a few minutes :P). [10:59] In #ubuntu-bots ? [10:59] With the dictionary program, is it possible to search a specific dictionary? [10:59] king7: yes [10:59] owh what is the flash player do you use in your firefox3 [10:59] How do I ask him a question [11:00] Baby_Shambl3s, prevents suid programs from rnning.. what filesystem is this disk anyway? they could always copy the games to /tmp or their home dirs and run them. [11:00] this is an example from the net user,auto,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 however I wish to include in that the only I have write permission while everyone has read permission, what do I add or change? [11:00] Dr_willis: fat32 in fstab I put it as vfat [11:00] does anyone know how to install wine if u use this source code? sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list [11:00] is there anyone use the nonfree adobe flash player in firefox3 and that is no sound. [11:01] can anyone help me , flash is causing firefox to lag and freeze and mozilla-mplayer is causing my entire window manager to crash [11:01] it gets saved in ect folder how do i compile [11:01] Dr_willis: yeah they could but I know they wont and tmp gets deleted on boot :D so most likely home which is what im forcing them to do, i dont want any gibberish on the hds this time [11:01] Baby_Shambl3s, id say mount the thing.. look at the permissions and what users can do.. a problem with the dmask MIGHT be that people will be unable to enter directories. [11:02] grobda24: I had my system working but I ended up updated and the upgrade broke something... Ive tried a modprobe and I get the error "Module Nvidia not found" [11:02] Mr_Bad_News, maybe you can change an other player [11:02] Hello [11:03] Does somebody else use virt-manager here ? [11:03] these is three pugin in the source [11:03] Dr_willis: so dmask might be bad to tell you the truth i dont exctly know all the command and what they do so its more of trial and error, howerver will keep dmask out if thats what your saying [11:03] i like mplayer [11:03] i can save movies to my harddrive and its fast [11:03] why does flash cause firefox to lag [11:03] yes [11:03] steph33560: Most likely you are better off asking your virt-manager question in #ubuntu-server. === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [11:03] i dont know [11:03] Mr_Bad_News: which ff you got? [11:03] owh, ok, there I go ! [11:03] Baby_Shambl3s, thers dozens of guides out the descibe this stuff.. but basicially i would say try it and see. :) if its not what you want.. tweak it some more. [11:03] i used sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list to download wine, but it turns out its a source... how can i compile it and where can i find the files [11:04] adobe not suppot linux well [11:04] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080418 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.14 [11:04] raulh: You should consider just using Synaptic, rather than compile from source. [11:04] Dr_willis: yah trial and error I seem to be doing that a lot lately in ubuntu [11:04] With the dictionary program, is it possible to search a specific dictionary? [11:04] (03:04:03 AM) michael_: adobe not suppot linux well = wrong= [11:04] Baby_Shambl3s, directories must be 'executable' in order for users to access whats in them. [11:04] i got cs3 working [11:04] say if I wanted to search a german word to find out what it is in english.. [11:04] raulh [11:04] owh its wine.. [11:04] raulh: "turns out it's a source" ??? how did you come to this conclusion? [11:05] Mr_Bad_News: weird should do that run firefox from terminal it should give you something useful and go to the site that makes it crash [11:05] raulh: Yes, I know that. Wine is also available as a package in Synaptic. [11:05] i dont use ubuntu much .. [11:05] but i just find that when i use the firefox to open some site with a lot flash ,the browser will slow [11:05] and i use the adobe pugin [11:05] Dr_willis: ok well than will just use command defaults with rw and user hopefully that makes me have read & write while others only read [11:05] raulh: System -> Administration -> Synaptic, search for wine, install it. [11:06] micheal uninstall that plugin [11:06] and use a linux flash player? [11:06] firefox gives u 3 choices i think [11:06] thnx owh [11:06] Baby_Shambl3s, defaults with just 'r' you mean? for read only? [11:06] iyes [11:06] raulh: are the others better? [11:06] i know [11:06] acorn, it depends. [11:06] i use it ,because the flash with no sound [11:06] how do you restart X mid-session, if you make changes to xorg.conf and want them to take effect? [11:07] i tried all the three pugin [11:07] perlmonkey, alt-ctrl-backspace will force x to restart right then and there.. :) [11:07] CTRL + ALT + Backspace? [11:07] perlmonkey: a dirty way is CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE [11:07] merci :) [11:07] perlmonkey, or restart the gdm service [11:07] cool [11:07] anyone have tips of making ubuntu faster for me? i only have a 8mb ram video card [11:07] and finaly i choice the adobe pugin ,and still no sound , the i dont change it [11:08] Dr_willis: well i want myself to have read*write so thats rw while everyone else should be r but hwo do i show it in fstab? [11:08] @rauhl perhaps other windowmanager?... [11:08] do you know about adding monitor modelines to the monitor section of xorg.conf? is it necessary to do anything to start X with a specific modeline command switch, or can you switch between modes in X? [11:08] im using X is that too much ... [11:08] raulh, maybe i can send you a card with 32m [11:08] raulh [11:09] im in arizona :'( [11:09] Baby_Shambl3s, thats what the umask/dmask is for i think. Id have to just try whar you were doing . and see if it works.. You can talk about it all day long.. eventually you will just have to try it and see. [11:09] @perlmonkey nvidia? [11:09] im in chinese [11:09] hi [11:09] ni hao ^^ [11:09] can anyone tell me how can i let the flash speak [11:09] is ur soundcard installed? [11:09] rumpel,ni ye hao [11:10] rumpel: hi there, I'm using an MGA card [11:10] hehe [11:10] raulh: what are you pc specs im sure if you got enough ram it shouldnt be much of a problem especially if your bios allows video to ram "soemthing on those lines" [11:10] of cause [11:10] michael_: are you using hardy? pulseaudio? [11:10] 512ram 733ghz D:< [11:10] just the flash no sound [11:10] yes [11:10] hardy [11:10] Dr_willis: yah true this is what i got so far UUID=B9A2-F162 /media/sdc2 vfat user,auto,defaults,fmask=0111,dmask=0000,rw 0 0 does ti seem ok [11:10] the other application normal [11:10] only the flash [11:10] does anyone know why mozilla-mplayer crashes my window manager? [11:10] gees was hopig for one line [11:11] xlogik ... search http://wiki.ubuntu.com [11:11] michael_: in your system, preference, sound, set everything to use pulseaudio [11:11] :( [11:11] slart [11:11] <_21h_> hello [11:11] Baby_Shambl3s, i dont think you want to use 'user' and 'auto' - theres also users... user and users - normally let the users mount/have full access to things. [11:12] * perlmonkey needs to switch video modes for monitor in X, how to? [11:12] these it no sound item in my perference [11:12] Baby_Shambl3s, if you are using 'auto' then its auto mounting at boot anyway [11:12] ok [11:12] i found it [11:12] can linux support two monitors at once? [11:12] or can ubuntu? [11:12] !dualhead | raulh [11:12] raulh: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [11:12] Baby_Shambl3s, but it may be smarter then we are. and doing the senceable thing when told conflicting options [11:13] raulh, i use 2 monitors all the time on my nvidia card [11:13] raulh: yes i run 3 monitors for example currently [11:13] <_21h_> yes [11:13] raulh: Given that you're talking on my left monitor and I'm reading a web page on my right monitor whilst running Ubuntu, the answer is yes :) [11:13] kay D: [11:13] @perlmonkey usually they have to be placed in xorg.conf, i guess... for nvidia-cards i use nvidia-settings [11:13] <_21h_> kernel 2.6.25 in 8.04 repository now? [11:14] Dr_willis: so auto just mounts it at boot while keeping user/user out wont give them full access... well most of those lines got from the netin ubuntu documentation but i think that was written aroud dapper time [11:14] <_21h_> I need support for my b4311 rev2 wifi card [11:14] rumpel: yes, but I'm wondering how you switch between the modes in X? [11:14] Can anyone guide me through getting ubuntu to re-recognize my nvidia gfx card? In the Hardware Drivers section there are no options for me to select a driver and modprobe gives the error "FATAL: Module nvida not found." [11:15] Baby_Shambl3s, ive noticed that a lot of times people toss in way too many options. :) or redundant options [11:15] @perlmonkey System->Settings/Preferences->Screen Resolution (?) [11:15] see, theres a problem when i connect my second videocard, my bios settings freeze, is this common? [11:15] My sound is really distortionated! please someone help :( [11:15] xlogik , try reinstall nv driver ? [11:16] m14: tried that even tried to use EnvyNg [11:16] <_21h_> raulh, YES [11:16] how can i fix the bios from bitching D; [11:16] <_21h_> bla [11:16] lol [11:16] hi!i started using 'awesome' wm and i have small problem:clicking 'go to the directory' on firecox download list startups genome file manager but how can i start it whibout going throu mozilla? [11:17] !info awesome [11:17] awesome (source: awesome): dynamic and tiling window manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.final-1 (hardy), package size 42 kB, installed size 200 kB [11:17] Dr_willis: user= when mounted the mount point is owned by the user who mounted the partition this is from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 explains quite clearly basically using user thats root which means i ahve to do chmod but if i use users than it includes me and no one else "at least thats how i see it" [11:17] m14: no luck.... My sound is also messed up to [11:18] <_21h_> kernel 2.6.25 in 8.04 repository now? I need support for my b4311 rev2 wifi card [11:18] Dr_willis: true but i have no clue what fmask & dmask is or what the numbers mean so wouldnt know if I need them or not [11:18] any ideas how i can use squid to transparently redirect updates to an apt-cacher server on the local network? [11:18] for pidgin, to add an msn, in screename you put your email address? [11:18] Baby_Shambl3s, if using auto, then root will be mounting it at boot time. i recall 'user' often being used for vfat if you wanted the user to have full acccess. so 'auto' and 'user' are sort of conflicting. [11:18] xlogik: maybe try envyng ? [11:18] Hi folks. URLs from .desktop files stop at any question mark (?) when launched in Hardy. It's a reported bug.... anyone hear of solutions coming? [11:18] xlogik: i install the nvidia drivers manually myself. its a bit of a pain, but certainly doable. Here is a guide I use: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [11:19] if i use this 8mb mga g400 agp and a issi how can i get the bios from freezing when the issi card is connected?? [11:19] Baby_Shambl3s, you do not chmod files, or mountpoints for vfat filesystems . thats what the varios *mask* options handle. [11:19] hi, does anybody know of a pain-free way to install firefox 2 on hardy? [11:19] Baby_Shambl3s, fmask and dmask set the default modes for files and directories. - since you cant use chmod. [11:19] @ablomen synaptic [11:19] why would apt hold back updates that haven't been version pinned? [11:19] ablomen, its in the repos. [11:20] ushimitsudoki: Thanks ill take a look now... [11:20] specifically openssh-server and openssh-client! [11:20] '!info awesome: event not found' any other suggestions? [11:20] i need to update them... badly [11:20] Dr_willis: oh ok just tried mount -a and it seems to work but because you wrote that about coflicting how do i check if such thing is happeneign or mayhappen? [11:20] Ademan, you refering to the ssh updates? - because the the updates will regeernate the keys. [11:20] I'm trying to install Hardy, and it gives me a screen about BusyBox version etc and installation won't go on [11:20] ? [11:20] Dr_willis, rumpel, ah thanks yeah i looked over it, thanks [11:20] Dr_willis: hrm, how would i get around that then? [11:20] Baby_Shambl3s, see if your users have the permissions to do what you want. mount always seems to take the sane route when told such things. [11:21] Hi, I'm having a problem with gnome-system-monitor, where its CPU usage is anywhere between 50-100% [11:21] Finnish: is that before or after reboot?

[11:21] Dr_willis: ok [11:21] hi [11:21] LostOverThere: ive seen that when over clocking or it might be index if it is a clean install [11:21] is there an interface for adding repositories?

[11:28] Hi, how can i completely reset my Battery Power History Statistics ? [11:28] i use .basrc [11:28] remoteCTR1: remember to do a source ~/.bash_profile after adding aliases [11:28] jst33zy: uhuh i see that is news to me then:] [11:28] I was thinking the .bash* files mentioned a .bash_alias file :) alias's could go in about any of them.. you just have to pay attention to what you are doing [11:28] when i move around windows on the desktop, i get some horizontal lines/disturbances across the windows, does anyone else get that? [11:28] mechdave: I use it for multitrack audio stuff [11:28] perlmonkey: ok, thanks alot! [11:29] remoteCTR1 or you could make a seperate .bash_aliases file [11:29] jst33zy: hehe no thanks;) [11:29] b4l74z4r: ATI card ? [11:29] m14, no, nvidia [11:30] with hardy ubuntu do you have to install compiz themes? or do metacity themes work as well? [11:30] in a terminal, when i type 'sudo -s' it asks for my p/w but after i enter it i get 'Aborted'... googling turns up nil... any ideas? [11:30] b4l74z4r: u installed nv driver ? [11:30] AcornAcorn, compiz can use 3 different window decorators.. one of them uses the metacity themes. [11:30] m14, yes [11:31] b4l74z4r: nvidia-settings installed ? [11:31] Dr_willis: so it's fine for me to just download metacity themes and drag them into the theme manager? [11:31] m14, no [11:31] AcornAcorn, it can use those.. so that should work. [11:31] b4l74z4r: apt-get install nvidia-settings [11:31] Can somebody help with my problem of sendmail refusing to connect to my local host? [11:31] m14, what do i have to change in the settings? [11:32] b4l74z4r: install package and check options there ? [11:33] m14, i don't know anything about configuring those kind of options [11:33] www.sonygsm.nmj.pl zapraszam do rejestracji [11:33] example: scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ sudo -s / [sudo] password for scarter: / Aborted / scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ [11:34] ok so, i plugin my second videocard, the bios loads up full, and freezes, does anyone kno how i can fix this? [11:34] b4l74z4r: that is gui for nvidia options, install it [11:34] Looking for metacity experts: Can metacity have placement "margins" like the XFCE4 manager? [11:35] is there anything else besides mac linux and windows? [11:36] Mr_Bad_News: bsd [11:36] i thought bsd was linux [11:36] no it's not [11:36] Mr_Bad_News, you mean other os's ? yes.. thers dozens of them. BSD is not linux. [11:36] Mr_Bad_News, no [11:36] Dr_willis What>??????????????????Not Linux [11:37] Mr_Bad_News: Linux isn't really unix, either. [11:37] <\0> Mr_Bad_News: *BSD (several operating systems), Solaris, IRIX, TruOS, Ultrix, AIX, HP/UX, and hundreds of others [11:37] Has anybody knowledge of sendmail? [11:37] jst33zy, I saw a PC mag. call Apple os - "OSXLinux" the other day. :) [11:37] Haiku.. [11:37] eh, linux is a unix based operating system [11:37] ahah [11:37] reactOS [11:37] :D [11:37] !linux [11:37] Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux [11:37] have you tried any \0 [11:37] i see your point now [11:37] hey guys, when running C programs, which keyboard combo gives the EOF character? [11:37] Crl+D doesnt seem to work [11:37] anyone know how to make back and forward mouse buttons work in nautilus? [11:37] linux is just another platform for the apps I need [11:38] Starcraftmazter: maybe ctrl+c [11:38] Starcraftmazter, the window manager , may be grabbing it.. [11:38] crl+c is break [11:38] i dont want break, i want eof [11:39] Dr_willis: how do I fix it? [11:39] linux is an open platform in which i got full control, that's why i use it [11:39] Starcraftmazter, try the program from the console - see if it works there i guess. [11:39] thats what im doing [11:39] Is it appropriate to call window manangers "applications"? [11:39] i thought ctrl-\ was end of file also. [11:39] Starcraftmazter, then you eliminated that potential problem. :) [11:40] crl-\ gives "Quit" [11:40] crtl-f4 [11:40] ubuntu alternate with encrypted drive is virtually unbreakable. [11:40] <\0> Dr_willis: EOF is ctrl-d [11:40] mmm no, not crl-f4 [11:41] selocol, the purpose of a 'window manager' is enabling you to run your apps with as little interference from the window manager as possible. Its goal is to not be in the way. i dont think that's the purpose of an application. Applications are used to accomplish something [11:41] it is crl+d on my university computers...and I swear I used it on my home comp before, but it doesnt seem to be working atm [11:41] really weird, it does nothing === profx is now known as profXavier [11:41] salmiak_: ok thanks [11:41] ctrl-d twice = logout isent it.. :) been ages since i messed with these [11:41] how do i open samba [11:42] I want to know that how much vi is reliable then gedit,,,? [11:42] is there any chance it could be some compiz shortcut [11:42] neil, samba is a service.. You use samba to access shares normally. [11:42] neil open samba or mount a samba share? [11:42] and that could be messing with it [11:42] Starcraftmazter, you said you were in the console.. thats not the same as in a 'terminal' - yes compiz could be messing with it - if you are running this in the X gui. [11:43] ahh consolse [11:43] hang on, gime a second [11:43] Starcraftmazter, :) [11:43] yeh I was in term [11:43] can anyone help me?? i got a problem and.. after cloning my hard disk I got a "GRUB" message when i try to boot the clone... do anyone has any idea how to fix it? [11:43] urgh, now the shortcut for console doesnt work >_> [11:44] I think I enabled one too many compiz plugins and they are overriding everything [11:44] bnalohim: just reinstall grub again and please dont use the clone with the original content [11:44] bnalohim: you can reintall grub with the alternat livecd or supergrub [11:44] k9copy closes half way from copying my dvd [11:45] why? [11:45] Baby_Shambl3s i already changed the menu.list and the fstab.. and i tried to fix the grub with a systemrescue cd.. but with no succes [11:45] hmmm nope =/ [11:45] Problem in console (ssh'd in)... scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ sudo -s / [sudo] password for scarter: {mypass} / Aborted / scarter@MediaPVR:/usr/share/doc$ ... what does 'Aborted' mean and how do i fix my not being able to 'sudo'? [11:45] bnalohim: alternate is a single boot system [11:45] ? [11:45] with what command do i see what shell i ma using [11:46] remoteCTR1: echo $0 [11:46] what is the bash command for listing drives (including not mounted)? [11:46] is there any way to play a windows pc game on ubuntu [11:46] I am looking for an ssh key handler, seahorse will not recognise my ssh keys :( [11:46] bnalohim: strongly advise against running alternate in multiboot [11:46] neil: you could use wine [11:46] hello... when doing a dpkg --get-selections what does 'deinstall' mean? [11:46] where do i get wine do u have a link [11:47] Starnestommy: ayeah thanks [11:47] !wine | neil [11:47] neil: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [11:47] thanks === yacc__ is now known as yacc [11:47] anyone? [11:47] I dont understand.. sorry.. im not running any multiboot.. just trying to clone a hard drive to a smaller one [11:47] Any idea what could cause my evolution to crash every time I select "check for SPAM"? [11:47] anyone have any other bright ideas about my EOF keyboard key problem? [11:47] bash command that lists drives anyone? === pac1_ is now known as ontopic [11:48] ok next: why does my alias work locally but not on a remote machine that i am connected to with ssh (of course .bashrc exists in the aproppriate home dir and the alias is in it) [11:48] poopuser: df, sudo blkid, fdisk -L [11:48] thx [11:48] How can you install ubuntu specifically to a second hard drive? i.e. make two bootable hard drives. Do you have to specifically tell the installer not to mess with windows? [11:48] remotecTR .bash_profile gets ran by login shells. it normally parses the .bashrc and system /etc/profile [11:48] Hersten [11:49] Starcraftmazter: looked at your keymap [11:49] Hesten: your hardware must support multibooting drives [11:49] didnt work on console btw [11:49] la-perr: where can i check it? [11:50] Can metacity have placement "margins" like the XFCE4 manager? [11:50] Dr_willis: i just realized i got the wrong shell running-.- its tcsh, where can i change that?? [11:50] hello, what can I do if my external monitor only shows up with resolution to 1024x768 (ati x700, fglrx) in CCC but actually is a 1680x1050 one [11:51] You mean being able to choose which device to boot to from bios? [11:51] @exco nvidia-settings if you have nvidia. Or manually by insering modelines specific for your screen in xorg.conf [11:51] Hesten: right. [11:51] Is the correct syntax 'LANG=de_DE.UTF-8' or 'LANG=de_DE.UTF8'? [11:52] la-perr: yo, keymap [11:52] remotecTR no idea on tcsh - it uses totally diffrent files and alias formats I belive [11:53] Yep, it can do that. Then can you select specifically which partitions ubutu copies stuff to, so that it doesnt touch the first hard disk. [11:53] rumpel: I'm using the latest fglrx drivers -> Ati X700, about the modelines -> if I just add a monitor and modelines, how does the system know for which monitor this is? (meaning I have a section for the monitor in xorg, but atm it's not working (aka there's something wrong)) [11:53] Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode.. [11:53] is this chat room or like a forum [11:53] chat room [11:53] Hesten: what is currently on you drive ? [11:54] hey i need ubuntu which can run on 256mb ram {not xubuntu} [11:54] thanks [11:54] you are welcome [11:54] no upgrade cannot add ram [11:54] grub: ubuntu can do that too.. but you might want to take care what you run on it [11:54] robg_: I think just the windows partition. Any way to check? [11:54] hey do u guys know if i can minmize thunderbird to the system try vs having it minmized so its awesome running and can show when i got new mail? [11:55] Hesten: you may not proceed without knowing exactly what is currently on your drive |! [11:55] tyler: I think there was/is a plugin to do that.. I used it on windows.. don't know if it works on linux though [11:55] tyler: hang on.. let me see if I can find it again [11:55] the idea is that ubuntu goes on a second drive, not touching the first. Is that possible? [11:55] slart: ok thanks a lot man [11:55] Slart, i cant rember the name either. :) [11:56] Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode.. [11:56] ok but what version? i need atleast 128mb free ram!! [11:56] at least something exists [11:56] tyler: it's called "minimize to tray".. here it is for windows http://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/ [11:56] wrong password [11:56] Hesten, ive done that with some of my machines. I could hit F11 at boot up and tell it to boot hdb directly. i dudent have to put grub on the windows drive either. [11:56] hesten: maybe possible but not pratical. Pratical is to do a guided install in an empty paritition on your primary drive. [11:56] Hesten, otherwise i install linux to hdb, and just have it put the MBR on the windows hda drive. [11:56] @tyler try "new mail icon"-addon... [11:57] grub: regular ubuntu if you want a gui.. use the server version if you do not need the gui [11:57] @tyler gives you a tray-symbol and you can switch tb to another desktop [11:57] Moin got a VPS server running Ubuntu and want to intall KDE and VNC so I can connect to my VPS and se a desktop... [11:57] you mean the 8.04? that runs like shit on my machine [11:57] I've did a apt-get install kde and everything whent smootly.. until i should start the server with startx [11:57] X: cannot stat /etc/X11/X (No such file or directory), aborting. / xinit: Server error. [11:58] I'd rather avoid having two OSes on one drive, if at all possible. First, I don't like messing with that MBR (recently had trouble with that), and secondly provides a backup. [11:58] where are you guys from [11:58] grub: well.. I run it on my small laptop.. works great.. I run it on my via mini-itx server, runs great [11:58] hello [11:58] Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode.. [11:58] grub: I don't think the older versions are better [11:58] then what do i do?? [11:58] Hello [11:58] grub: but there's a new version coming out soon.. some kind of "ubuntu for ultraportables".. that might be better [11:58] Hesten: If you only have Windows on primary then there is no MBR. [11:59] ? [11:59] any body from philippines out here [11:59] !ph | raven [11:59] raven: Join #ubuntu-ph for tagalog [11:59] hello [11:59] I installed xmms2 but the daemon obviously not running yet. I dont see it in System > Administration > Services. How do I enable it at boot? [11:59] ultraportables? its just a laptop!!!! [11:59] How do I start x11 on my server? [12:00] test [12:00] blabla [12:00] grub and whats the specs for this laptop? [12:00] * Industrial gives Test a cookie .. worked! [12:00] grub: ok, fine, don't install it.. [12:00] 1.4ghz 256mb ram 64mb vram :-( [12:00] Sorry, I must be getting confused. Does the installer not let you tell it to which partitions to use, and which ones not to touch? [12:00] Hesten: you can do it manually. [12:01] Hesten: afaik it lets you chose. [12:01] Hesten: you might have to select "manual" at some point though [12:01] Why does my computer keep going back to the login screen every time I try and login? I had to start up using safemode.. [12:01] Why doesn't Mouse Keys lock the middle mouse button ? [12:01] Tutorials? All the ones I've seen have just said to let it run it's business automatically. [12:01] AcornAcorn: have a look at the ~/.Xsession-errors file or so [12:01] grub ive ran kubuntu and ubuntu on a Pent 1 100 laptop :) befor.. it worked... heh. You will have to decide what sort of work you want to do with the thing I guess. [12:01] iam sorry slart but i need a soultion (iam really sorry if i disaponted you) [12:01] Hesten: control over guided install is limited. Install logic is contained in installer. [12:01] dont know if that name i correct [12:01] j #crux [12:02] How do I enable xmms2d ? I dont see it in the Services [12:02] i need 128mb or more ram free thats it!!!!!! [12:02] how do i export .cam logged webcam sessions to any file playable by any player? [12:02] mgolisch: where do i find that? [12:02] @grub swap? [12:02] grub: take a look at some of the other distros out there.. "damn small linux" is one.. that's supposed to be light [12:02] grub the desktop/window will be taking up the most ram. so use the lightest window manager/desktp you can handle. Your 'need 128mb ram' seems an odd requirement. [12:03] Ok, thanks. [12:03] grub: if you need something that'll run in less than 128 mb of ram, you need a different distro: try Arch, SliTaz, or the one Slart mentioned [12:03] grub puppylinux, dsl, are for small low ram systems. [12:03] ok are they good for a beginer? [12:03] * adam7 likes SliTaz for low memory systems [12:03] Hesten: downsize Windows partition using Windows tools, create a large free space, and then instruct guided install into the largest free psace. [12:03] i need the rpm's and the softare that ubuntu has [12:04] grub go try them. I guess. and see. They are both well done.. and ubuntu dosent use RPMS [12:04] grub: try debian [12:04] ubuntu has a lot of software. :) [12:04] mgolisch: ok, found it, what am i looking for? [12:04] so does debian, Dr_willis :P [12:05] yes i want that software [12:05] AcornAcorn: for errors! [12:05] what else [12:05] grub all of it? if so - guess you set up a minimal ubuntu system then. [12:05] mgolisch: well.. there's a lot there, and i'm not even sure if the top is the most recent or the bottom [12:06] hi again [12:06] I don't think there is anyway you are going to run Ubuntu with Gnome and use less than 128mb of ram. [12:06] hi [12:06] !hi | killerboy [12:06] killerboy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [12:06] since I upgraded to hardy I have a problem with acroread and firefox [12:06] hey what about i install ubuntu with no gui then i install fluxbox or icewm??? [12:06] adam what i dont understand is that he just said he had 256mb ram [12:06] whenever an PDF is opened in Firefox, Firefox freezes [12:06] grub thats doable. [12:06] My only option is to download pdfs and open them offline [12:06] Dr_willis: yeah, but apparently he wants 128mb free... [12:07] adam7, grub: I did it once... don't do it. It's really really buggy, hard, and probably dosen't work any more. [12:07] which is unhandy [12:07] any ideas? [12:07] adam7, which makes no sence to me..... [12:07] trident523: do what? [12:07] how to transform text in gimp? i would like to transform it int arc and still be able to modify it [12:07] owww what do ido?? [12:07] adam7: Run ubuntu on a minimal ram system (192mb.) [12:07] Karotte: uninstall your pdf plugin and look for another one [12:07] grub do a server install then install the programs you want [12:07] is been months and iam looking for a distro [12:07] virtuald: uhm.. no? [12:07] virtuald: I really like acroread [12:07] too tough for a newbie [12:07] ok [12:07] is it possible to get a .rpm working in ubuntu? [12:07] trident523: oh :) I did that, p2 w/ 96mb of ram -- I didn't install the whole Ubuntu though... just the server stuff [12:08] and it worked just fine under gutsy [12:08] Mr_Bad_News: yes, but not a good idea relaly [12:08] really* [12:08] didnt think so [12:08] grub guess you give up, or learn, or try puppy/dsl or wait for that minimalubuntu someone mentioned. [12:08] just wanted to know if it was possible [12:08] Karotte: look in the bug tracker if it's known, maybe there's a workaround [12:08] grub there was a fluxbuntu i saw in the works also. [12:08] Mr_Bad_News: if you really want to, look up alien in the package manager [12:08] Is the correct syntax 'LANG=de_DE.UTF-8' or 'LANG=de_DE.UTF8'? [12:09] ok so i go for debian?? [12:09] Karotte: since acroread is proprietary, you'll find that people don't really like supporting it. [12:09] Karotte: I suggest you try some of the free alternatives, like evince [12:09] grub whats that going to gain you? [12:09] grub: yeah, I guess -- Ubuntu will run fine with 256 mb of ram though... [12:09] fluxbuntu -> http://wiki.fluxbuntu.org/index.php?title=Get [12:09] Q: if a file has rwx---rwx, then the group can't read, although everyone else can? [12:09] Chousuke: That's not an alternative for me :( [12:09] how can i convert mp3 to cd audio [12:10] Chousuke: it worked with this version of acroread, but since updating to hardy it stopped [12:10] jazza___: do you want to burn a cd with mp3-songs? [12:10] whats better fluxbox vs openbox (no flaming or outburst) based upon option anf unctionability as well as opinion [12:10] jazza___: most burning programs (e.g brasero) can do it [12:10] Karotte: most likely the plugin is incompatible with hardy then [12:10] what about k3b [12:10] !best | Baby_Shambl3s [12:10] !best | Baby_Shambl3s [12:10] Baby_Shambl3s: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [12:10] Q: Just upgraded to 8.04 ... where is the Restricted Drivers Manager utility hiding in the GNOME menu? [12:10] jazza___: sure [12:10] Baby_Shambl3s, depends on what you like. they are about the same. One uses tabs, the other dosent.. ect... [12:10] k3b probablt does that too [12:10] or maybe some channel about gimp? [12:10] m-c: Hardware Manager [12:10] what do i need to download for that [12:11] Baby_Shambl3s, install them both and test them out [12:11] m-c: sorry, hardware drivers [12:11] jazza___: i think you need to install a plugin first... let me check [12:11] adam7 thanks! [12:11] im usung kubuntu hardy [12:11] Karotte: there's not much you can do, just hope someone (adobe) fixes it [12:11] adam7, never say that again if you have seen how ubuntu 7.10 onwards run a 256mb ram machine you would be crying now [12:11] hm [12:11] ok [12:11] grub: I ran it on 128mb I think [12:11] * adam7 doesn't remember now [12:11] Baby_Shambl3s, at one time - they could even use the same themes.. but not sure if they still can now. [12:11] Karotte: you can report a bug, but if the bug is in acroread then there's nothing that can be done [12:11] !mp3 [12:11] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [12:11] jazza___: libk3b2-extracodecs ?? [12:11] adam7, ubuntu 7.10 with gui at 128mb ram? (your GOD) [12:11] grub: besides, my laptop is only using 244 mb of ram with normal ubuntu install, so it shoudl be fine [12:12] ??? [12:12] thats nothing ram free [12:12] adam7: regarding Restricted Drivers Manager, there is nothing to choose in the System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers [12:12] !java [12:12] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [12:13] grub: yeah, but there isn't much point in having free ram, is there? it's meant to be used [12:14] Maybe there is a synaptic package I need to install first to enable the nvidia restricted driver [12:14] grub: with only 256, you're gonna get some swapping, but it shouldn't be too bad [12:14] 96, on the other hand, is swap city [12:14] no problem i need somethin like windows xp? [12:14] hey [12:14] Xp will swap with 2gb of ram..... [12:15] grub: xp will swap on 256 [12:15] i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 to a usb disk [12:15] :) [12:15] it swaps on 1gb [12:15] (and 2, apparently :P) [12:15] Vista swaps just by waving it at the pc! [12:15] and i want it to load up only when the disk is conencted [12:15] nope its only swaping 200mb thats fine [12:15] !nvidia [12:15] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:15] !install | suspect42 [12:15] suspect42: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[12:16] guys. i am cuztomizing the desktop. can i use gtk & emeral themes are the same time? or are those two mutually exclusive? because i see one theme pack that has a gtk and an emerald theme, don't know what to do [12:16] akaustav: to the ram in your computer, most likely [12:17] am using kubuntu have had ubuntu [12:17] guys, I have java installed but my browsers aint seeing that [12:17] StevenX, compiz can use 1 of the 3 window decorators at the same time.. So yes.. those 2 are exclusive. [12:17] its the openjdk [12:17] StevenX: the buttons and text boxes, etc, will be gtk, but the windows borders will be emerald/compiz [12:17] so xubuntu ? [12:17] adam7, so to install the full theme, I need to install both of those correct? [12:18] what's a good console application for gnome? is there something like yakuake for KDE for gnome? [12:18] StevenX, like adam7 said. a 'gnome' theme has parts.. the window decorations and the widgits in the window. :) [12:18] Hello, my wireless network card doesn't work when module ssb is loaded before ndiswrapper. [12:18] grub: xubuntu isn't a whole lot lighter than ubuntu, I think [12:18] StevenX: yep [12:18] kk [12:18] thanks guys [12:18] I don't see any point in loading it at all, so I've just added it to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. But it keeps being loaded. [12:18] grub or fluxbuntu but its only at 7.10 version it seems. [12:19] malebria: I think I recall seeing something funky with that. You might have to put a script in /etc/rc.local that rmmod's ssb and then modprobe's ndiswrapper [12:19] Why a module that is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is loaded? [12:19] dr wiwlis whats so good about puppy linux [12:19] what do i do? ubuntu + gnome DE(GTK) + fluxbox [12:19] still a win user [12:19] c1|freaky: yes.. there are a couple.. [12:19] adam7: I've read about that, but I can't understand why blacklisted modules can be loaded. [12:19] puppy linux is cute, simple, and very small [12:19] grub flip a coin.. in the time you have been discussing this - ive downloaded fluxbuntu, and installed it. :) [12:20] hahah [12:20] m-c, yes it is. [12:20] hows it? [12:20] !info yeahconsole | c1|freaky [12:20] c1|freaky: yeahconsole (source: yeahconsole): drop-down X terminal emulator wrapper. In component universe, is optional.

[12:20] Is there a utility that comes with the default installation of Ubuntu 8.04 using which I can see the usage of my RAM? [12:20] malebria: me neither. bug somewhere, although on my computer, I have b43 and ndiswrapper loaded, and ndiswrapper is working, I think [12:20] grub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [12:20] http://wiki.fluxbuntu.org/index.php?title=Get [12:20] akaustav: System Monitor is in the menu [12:20] akaustav: system monitor [12:20] ok [12:21] hum...

[12:21] dimensione eccetera [12:21] ops sorry [12:21] adam7: it's ok to add it to rc.local, the problem is not knowing why blacklist is not working. === TheMaverick`_ is now known as TheMaverick` [12:22] grub: make sure you do "sudo update-menus" in a terminal before starting fluxbox for the first time. otherwise, you will have no menus.... [12:22] malebria: there, I can't help you -- check Launchpad, someone probably knows [12:22] Can anyone suggest a good way to partition things?

[12:24] kibibyte: why do you not like ipods? [12:24] will this give me all menu's [12:24] ok thanks guys [12:25] :) [12:25] does wine work for all windows applications and games [12:25] :o [12:25] @neil nope [12:25] ipods are crap , you need yo use special software to transfer music into it and ipod (or ishit) works only in particular networks [12:25] neil: nope.. not even close [12:25] you must hack it [12:25] i'm currently using debian can i just put thte ubuntu disk in nd overwrite the debian OS? the problem is i'm dual booting and i dont want to have to re-install XP again [12:26] what do you mean [12:26] kibibyte: If someone can suggest a good partitioner, I can make mine NOT suck. Happy? [12:26] neil: check the application database if you're looking to run something special.. appdb.winehq.org [12:26] adam7: are you sure, while in live session, downloads are done into the ram and not into my hard-disk. I'm using the system monitor utility to keep a track of my current RAM usage. But it doesn't show any significant increase in usage. [12:26] ok thankou dude [12:26] timandtom: gparted *is* a good partitioner.. something else is wrong if you ask me [12:26] DazzyB: you can use gparted to delete the debian partition and its swap partition (check which is debian swap). [12:27] DazzyB, use debian partitions for ubuntu [12:27] ok thanks [12:27] akaustav: if you told it to download to the hard drive, it will save to the hard drive. if you downloaded it to the home directory, it is in the ram [12:27] same [12:27] just format them [12:27] Slart, any idea what might be going wrong? When I plug my 80gb iPod in, it reads about 18gb of unformatted space, nothing else. [12:27] why would you need multiple swap partitions for multiple distros? one will do for all, unless you want to hibernate/resume into different ones, I think [12:28] well so far i reckon windows is better than linux [12:28] jazza___, why [12:28] easy to install programs [12:28] timandtom: I don't have an ipod.. is it supposed to work as a removable hard drive? I don't think so [12:28] timandtom: for ipod chat see # ipod [12:28] run games [12:28] windows is crap developed by 100 000 low paid programmers from india [12:28] no need for wine [12:28] jazza___, you dont want to know the fighting ive done with windows this week... and thats the end of the discussion. :) [12:28] dont blame linux for that [12:28] Slart, yeh, it reads as a removable drive. USB Mass Storage Device in windows. [12:28] kibibyte: can't you go to ubuntu-offtopic and vent your issues there, please? [12:29] jazza___: why would you expect to be able to run windows games under linux [12:29] Hi, can anyone tell me if there exists a repository with bleeding edge debs for compiz fusions and related plugins for Hardy heron? [12:29] well need to be able t self install [12:29] I can only find the old one for feisty [12:29] adam7: The system is installing missing multimedia codecs. And I'm in live session. And it is downloading gstreamer pluggins but no RAM usage. Then where is it downloading to? [12:29] timandtom: all of the space? or just the space that isn't used by the music? [12:29] jazza___, wrtite letter to game programmers why their crap is non cros platform [12:29] and cant bugeer sudo apt dint work [12:29] akaustav: ram [12:29] BeOS could clone/install itself from one HD to another.. That would make it the Best OS. :) [12:29] pain in the ass getting codes to buck upmy mp3 to audio [12:30] what games are there for ubuntu, i mean proper games [12:30] install should be lie win double vclick then installer [12:30] hi [12:30] comment ça se passe ici [12:30] neil: depends on what kind fo games you like.

All of its FAT32. So I really have no idea what it's deciding to read :( If I right click the drive itself, it shows the right amounts. [12:31] jazza___: do you have an actual support question? We can tell you how to easily do those things that you think are hard if you want (well not the *windows* games). [12:31] pain in the ass : prove to microshit that my system is legal, find proper drivers for XP in new computers [12:31] games like swat 4 [12:31] !language | kibibyte [12:31] kibibyte: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[12:32] trident523: I am connected via wireless too, but it asks again for passwords [12:32] well ihave k3b not sur eif ican find add ons in add remove [12:32] keeper: thats not a bug, thats a user malfunction [12:32] so almost after every reboot, I have to type in the PSK [12:32] anyone up on java and linux? [12:32] timandtom: well.. there's fdisk..if you like punishing yourself =) [12:32] koheleth: ask a more specific question [12:32] IndyGunFreak: not so much user as lack of free drivers :/ [12:32] IndyGunFreak: in 7.10 it worked flawlessly [12:32] keeper: Have wep? If your password is a hodgepodge of numbers, try picking the second password option. Letters? The third. [12:33] I have it installed but my browsers tell me to get lost :( [12:33] so do i have to use vm machine then [12:33] trident523: wpa psk [12:33] Slart, define punishing :P I don't mind command line stuff normally :) [12:33] adam7: i've enver had to enter my password, other than when I set up my connection, maybe it dependson the device [12:33] keeper: using intel, by chance?

[12:33] adam7: it is amd [12:33] jazza___: I'm still not sure what your question is. Write everything on a single line [12:33] jrib, sorry, thought I was in a friends chat [12:33] are there any viruses for ubuntu [12:33] Slart, I basically just need: raw partition, ext2 partition for linux, rest is fat32. [12:33] trident523: it is a msi USB stick [12:33] timandtom: well.. give fdisk a try.. it's all command line.. I think it's installed by default [12:34] hm.. there was a funky intel wireless bug after 8.04 was released, I think [12:34] Slart, Ah, ok, thanks, i'll look into that [12:34] neil: only a couple viruses exist for linux, and none of them are in the wild [12:34] well simple now i just format linux drive and stick to windows [12:34] wont to burn mp3 to cda audi [12:34] is there a player with builtin EQ and is there an inbuilt EQ in ubuntu that I can use for my sounds?

[12:39] roycruse: gnome-display-properties [12:39] koheleth: note that that is not xmms [12:39] what do you mean copy then rip [12:40] neil: You have to take the .vob files off first, probably.

[13:21] hey guys. i just installed ubuntu 8.04 on an external usb hard disk (freeagent go 160gig) and during install i opted to install the bootloader on the usb disk (since the computer's not mine). while booting, though, i get a "grub loading stage 1.5. error 2" message [13:21] StrongMotive, you need to either wait until it hits the repos or compile it yourself [13:21] StrongMotive: any particular reason, ie, beta5 isn't working? [13:21] StrongMotive: that's a hassle, much easier to stick to the repositories. You'll get updates from rc1 [13:21] My crond does not seem to be active - I've added a test entry (* * * * * date >> ~/date), but the file's staying empty. ps -aux | grep cron tells me that it's running. Any ideas what could be wrong? This is 7.10... [13:21] ok fine [13:21] it won't be easy :) [13:21] gaurav_: you mean compile?

[13:23] hp: keep it simple. [13:23] gaurav_: sudo apt-get install build-essential; g++ [13:23] apo:this for? [13:23] gaurav_: compiling c++ source [13:23] apo:in any compiler? [13:23] keep it simple as in? [13:23] gaurav_: No, gcc [13:24] legend2440: that did not work for me [13:24] hp: use CDs to install OSes [13:24] apo:but i am using anjuta [13:24] gaurav_: and?

[13:25] mgolisch:dude it is solved thnx for ur intrest [13:25] robg_: the install process went through, and i got to the point where i'm asked to reboot from the hard drive. doing that gives me a grub "error 2" message [13:25] gaurav_: I don't know about anjuta. You'll have to read it's documentation or ask somebody else. But it should have some frontend to g++... [13:26] ok [13:26] How do I list mounted partitions along with their device name/labels?

If you fail it is not possible. [13:28] hp what you did was fine; now you have the usb disk attached to your own computer and it wont boot, is that it? [13:28] is there any method to compile and execute thru terminal? [13:28] yes [13:28] there is no problem installing to a usb disk [13:28] ubuntu can handle that fine [13:28] the boot process starts, apparently [13:29] but at grub's stage 1.5 there's an "error 2" [13:29] robg_, what you are saying is simply incorrect [13:29] bazhang: Ubuntu has not announced the delivery of OSes suitable for USB sticks. [13:29] fawk, i have to sudo date [13:29] gaurav_: yeah use gcc [13:29] robg_: Ubuntu works fine on usb sticks [13:30] robg you are mistaken.

[13:32] robg please do not offer advice when you have no clear idea what you are saying. [13:32] robg it confuses the users and then we have to clean up.

Is there such thing as a font-manager under ubuntu as well, so I can display all my fonts= [14:08] ? [14:08] GarethSimpsonUK, you would need to do that ordinarily ...since the folder is owned by the "samba" group [14:08] rd: if you cannot solve the problem you will have to re-install [14:08] GarethSimpsonUK, so you'd need to add "gareth" to "samba" [14:08] do ia dd the star after chmod 777? === CaptainPanda is now known as Captain_panda [14:09] yes [14:09] cheers [14:09] GarethSimpsonUK, also do a sudo chmod 777 ./ [14:09] GarethSimpsonUK, in the right dir of course [14:09] nice joke [14:10] hey guys, on a liveCD, fdisk -l doesn't output anything. any idea why? === Captain_panda is now known as CaptainPanda [14:10] anybody got a hint?

[14:18] Gazuk87 [14:18] PriceChild: are you doing something with wow?

[14:18] rd: in the Section "Device", add the line: Driver "vga" [14:18] thanks waiting [14:18] hello [14:19] help_please [14:19] rd: then save that, and sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart [14:19] anirudh0, thx [14:19] lnar: synaptic doesn't kill your system.. thats' the difference =) [14:19] rd: hopefully that will get a usable (albeit slow) gui, so we can get it working properly more easily [14:19] hi [14:19] i_started_ubuntu_and_all_i_get_is_my_wallpaper_after_logging_in [14:19] sorry_my_spacebar_is_broken_on_this_machine [14:19] no blank password doesn't work [14:19] lnar: don't use automatix.. try !automatix for more info [14:19] Slart, so its not good to install it [14:19] thanks, i try [14:19] I recently upgraded from gutsy to heron and the users I had created in users and groups don't show up. the only user that shows up in the settings manager is root. any ideas?

[14:20] rd: that's just so you can get to a state where it "works", but doesn't work as well as it should [14:20] yes [14:20] lnar: I think in general, you should not install packages for gutsy onto a hardy system [14:20] hub_, dont do that [14:20] i've just tried to open the user utility in gnome and it didn't work so it looks like a bigger problem [14:20] ok [14:20] hey.. in the past when a new distro was released I did a complete reinstall.. since I'm really happy with my 7.10 system as it is now, I don't want to trash my settings and all.. what's the risk of "just upgrading"? [14:20] rd: if you have a working gui, it makes it easier to pastebin files we need to see to help you make it work as well as it should [14:20] ok guys thanks! Slart danbhfive [14:20] but he gives error after check like no root found ...

[14:30] Oval: it does [14:30] emma: ah.. ookie :) can you tell me 1? [14:31] Amaranth: Can this be avoided, or must I specifically look for a ramdisk distro? [14:31] Slart: is ext3 better? [14:31] blumm: On the login screen click on Options, then Sessions, then Failsafe GNOME. Then login. [14:31] Oval: running it from CD-ROM is only to test whether you hardware is detected. It is not a permanent solution. [14:31] thanks_wilL_restart_now [14:31] Oval: why are you wanting to make it not use the cd drive?

[14:33] blumm: are you in windows now? [14:33] Oval: I think there is a way to customize the live cd, you may want to look into that [14:33] GarethSimpsonUK, when upgrading files are downloaded first [14:33] danbhfive: I'll check that out. Thank you, danbhfive. [14:33] I'm using a swedish dvorak layout but every time i boot ubuntu i'ts still the QWERTY layout even though i dont have the qwerty layout in the list with layouts.

I like to know if is possible to enable or disable those effects. [14:34] Amaranth:what_to_do_exactly? [14:34] blumm: Also, make sure you wait at least 2 minutes before giving up, you may be hitting a bug where login stalls for 2 minutes [14:34] GarethSimpsonUK, so if you are so tight on space...you might face problems..i meant 3.7 gig for a fresh install [14:34] oval you can do it with uck [14:34] My Error after routine check in the boot: *An automatic filesystem check (fsck) of the Root File system failed... and * The root file system is currently in read only mode. > How can fix this ? i dont will reinstall Ubuntu.

[14:34] oh ok, so will kde + server fit 'comfortably' on a 4gb? or should i be safe & sacrifice a 40 gb? [14:34] GarethSimpsonUK: Upgrading takes extra space. You have the old install, then you download the new install, so that could be double, make sense? [14:34] GarethSimpsonUK, no [14:34] !uck | Oval [14:34] Oval: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs.

[14:34] Amaranth:on_failsafe_login_i_get_the_same_mess [14:35] GarethSimpsonUK, use a 8 gb partition..thats more than enough [14:35] anybody who knows about gnome settings? [14:35] so it wont fit on a 4gb? [14:35] Joelito: I am not certain but it seems that nautilus controls a lot about your icon behavior as well so check there too. [14:35] oh ok [14:35] gnome settings deamon [14:35] hi. Just dist-upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04, and my gnome-panel has some weird slow-motion effect. Can I get rid of that?

[14:42] ok [14:42] thanks for ur help [14:42] or-repair-broken-packages? [14:42] bazhang: I know you have experience with broadcom wireless chips--do you know whether jope can use something other than ndiswrapper to get his card going? (BCM4310 he says) [14:42] http://www.imagefix.info?page=viewer&id=990003278_Screenshot-2.png [14:43] smeril, the resolution is too low...can read the error messge [14:43] hmm jatt, you said twice the ram amount meanwhile anirudh0 said <= ram... which one is it? :) My router will have approx. 32 mb ram so I suppose it's either 32 or 64 or perhaps 100mb to be sure? [14:43] ok [14:44] tzd, depend on whether you want to hibernate [14:44] tzd, for hibernation you need atleast >=RAM size [14:44] anirudh0: i see.. if i want to do that then I'll need a lot more? [14:44] steve-cal any idea why an export command to lib/firmeware wouldnt workk [14:44] danbhfive:apt-get-doesnt-work [14:44] tzd, but for modern computers, swap is hardly used in the normal course of events [14:45] tzd, so most of the time its wasted disk space [14:45] so here's a bug in the latest "LTS": if you tell the installer not to format /boot, it'll do it anyway! [14:45] blumm, sudo dpkg --configure -a [14:45] does anyone know how to compile the apparmor module together with grsecurity? [14:45] !bugs | ex-parrot [14:45] ex-parrot: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [14:45] I tried it, but it gives me some errors while patching grsecurity [14:45] anirudh0:ok-? [14:45] I'm not going to bother filing it because it'll never be fixed, I'm just angsty. [14:46] jope: Where are you getting that command exactly? Is it "export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware" from that page? [14:46] anirudh0: ok i see... well this will be for a external usb drive plugged in a router that will run fileserver etc without the need of a computer. Since the router will have 32mb of RAM then I'll assume I'll create a swap file for my external hdd and I'll make the zie of it approx. 100mb.... that should be enough for hibernation as well right? [14:46] ex-parrot, not necessarily [14:46] hi all [14:46] damn [14:46] what-a-mess [14:46] tzd, more than enough [14:47] anirudh0: ah great news, need my space right now so excellent news :) Thanks once again! [14:47] anyone? [14:47] steve-cal, yes im installling the b43 as told tht would work i downloaded and extracted the b43-fwcutter and then it says that line. i put in /lib/firmware and it says export /lib/firmware [14:47] bash: export: `/lib/firmware': not a valid identifier [14:47] PmDematagoda, impossible to help..unless you post config.log from the compile dir [14:48] http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=arejTbgdNwECvQ1211809397 [14:48] anirudh0, but will that apply during patching as well? [14:48] jope, type Steve-cal 's command properly...you are probably missing a punctuation [14:48] Im getting patch errors with utime.o and a few others [14:48] PmDematagoda, oh...then atleast post those errors :) [14:48] Can you see it now? [14:49] How do I change between english dictionary and the swedish one? [14:49] anirudh0, ok, give me a minute please:) [14:49] Is there anyway to connect iscsi to Ubuntu 8.04? [14:49] http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=arejTbgdNwECvQ1211809397 [14:49] anirudh: i think i did. im supposed to replace firware_install-dir with /lib/firmware [14:49] jope: Who told you that the fwcutter software would work with your card? I mean on that page it shows your chip is not supported. And if you want to use fwcutter, just download it with Synaptic--you don't need to compile it yourself. [14:49] anirudh0, I will have to restart the patching from scratch since Ive deleted the folder, so this may take so time [14:50] anirudh, ok maybe thats what i misunderstood [14:50] steve-cal, i was just advised to follow that page. [14:50] Asking again: Crontab does not run my user's jobs, but root's fine. Any ideas? [14:51] http://www.postyourimage.com/view_image.php?img_id=arejTbgdNwECvQ1211809397 [14:51] apo, check syslog...it will have cron's entries [14:51] steve-cal, anirudh, ook thanks, thats where i went wrong. i thought i had to substitute when i didnt, ill continue, thanks fro your help [14:51] How do I change between english system dictionary and the swedish one? [14:51] hello world [14:51] lol [14:51] anirudh0: As I said, root runs fine, user doesn't. :P [14:51] Can someone help me tweak some settings with remastersys? I'm trying to make a custom distro, and I need some help as to how to change a few things. [14:51] anirudh0: That's all syslog says. === WzCocoon_ is now known as WzCocoon [14:52] jope: You are making this really hard on yourself I think. :) I just checked and that software is available in Synaptic--"b43-fwcutter" just download it and try it if you really want to. You don't have to compile fwcutter yourself. [14:53] smeril, run gnome-settings-daemon from the terminal...the gui only shows part of the error message [14:53] can anybody tell me how to change the resolution of a video card? [14:53] I'm a little confused. Do I need to have NFS installed as well as Samba in order to do file sharing?

[14:54] is that bad? [14:54] erUSUL, I have java working now thanks [14:55] i just booted up the live-cd hardy heron on an old computer, and i noticed that it does not detect the ethernet card [14:55] what do i do?

[15:02] luderacer: then dmesg - see if it detects it [15:02] soory FloodBot1, was just pasting all the error messages [15:02] jope: If that webpage claimed the fwcutter software would work with your BCM4310 chip, I would be willing to help you troubleshoot. But until I see convincing evidence it is supposed to work with your chip, I don't want to mess with it. If you want to try ndiswrapper, I can give assistance. Otherwise maybe someone else can help you with the fwcutter software. [15:02] linxeh: will try, then ill see if something else is needed [15:02] thanks [15:02] krazty: next time, it would be better to paste it in the pastebin and just give us the link. that way you won;t flood the channel [15:03] krazty, please dont paste in channel thanks [15:03] ok, sorry guys - no bad intention to flood [15:03] linduxed: I seem to remember there being different revisions of that card with different chipsets, might be wrong though [15:03] steve-cal: ok i just did those instructions and then typed sudo modprobe b43 i cant get it to work so im going now to try ndiswrapper again, do i need to undo annything before i start on ndiswrapper?

It worked for me. [15:08] jope: then do "lsmod | grep 43" again--there should be no b43 module returned.

[15:10] bazhang: can you help me again? [15:10] jope: OK, do you have the Windows drivers for your card? [15:10] but just modprobing tulip didnt do the trick [15:10] bazhang: well, those are the ones I usually use, and I wonder why they don't work [15:10] I need a media player [15:10] smallfoot-: so download the latest version and install it manually instead of getting it from the repository [15:10] Broadcom, sure, if you help jope :) [15:10] ill go with genii's trick and check the IRQ [15:10] bazhang: what is his problem? [15:10] stev-cal, no, i was going to follow the instructions here using 2e [15:10] Having to upgrade only once every three years is good for some, others want to upgrade all the time. Ubuntu is for the first.

[15:11] jope: What do you mean "2e"? You lost me. If you want to use ndiswrapper you have to have the windows wireless card drivers. [15:12] emma, Damn it didn't work have any other idea? [15:12] Broadcom: He's got a BCM4310 chip [15:12] genii: HOW do i specify that?

[15:51] Agion, try this then: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose the correct driver; answer default if you dont know for the rest [15:52] umbrualbert: You have only one "home" directory and every user will get directory whithin home directory but you can add user withouth direcotry. Type in terminal useradd --help [15:52] hi [15:52] i was thinking of installing ff2 coz i am going nuts with the repeated crashes Uplink [15:52] bazhang: im back [15:52] Steve-cal: yes i have but there was still problem, but i could agree that i worked better with ndiswrapper then bcm43xx module [15:52] Broadcom, okay :) [15:52] umbrualbert: You have to have root access to add users.

We haven't seen that problem. What all have you done recently as far as installing software and in particular installed from outside official supported repos.

[16:16] yeah [16:16] koro: then use automatic configuration dhcp instad of manually setting static ip [16:17] michael__ yes, but cube and other effects need ccsm and if your video card is not setup.. compiz cant work [16:17] kbrosnan: Ok, I've read it but I didnt get if it says in there if theres already a patch out or should I just go back to FF2 for the time being...

[16:18] Hello, I'm using the rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.0 driver for my edimax ew-7318USg. I dl'd it, tar'd it, and did a make make install. Network manager sees all of the access points but cannot connect my network which is currently set to no encryption.

[16:18] first* [16:18] Jack_Sparrow: no, I have not used outside repos, as far as keyboard goes. [16:19] TimMatrix Have you used outside repos.. keyboard related or not. [16:19] umbrualbert: When there are major updates you'll be waiting a while, as opposed to apt-get just replacing the binary it needs [16:19] erUSUL: yes still same problem :( [16:19] Georgij: Linux refers to the kernel the operating system runs on... so the first LInux kernel WAS Linux, as it still is [16:19] genii: so if a package is available I should apt-build rather than apt-get...seeing that I have ample bandwidth and CPU resources [16:19] Tux came around a few years later [16:20] dunken: !@#!@# it shouldn't fail... are you sure boot sequence on bios is th right one *after* you plug the other disks ?? [16:20] :( [16:20] Jack_Sparrow: Well, what kind of outside repos. I always use Ubuntu's repos. [16:20] marx2k: there is a patch written it is not in Fx 3 rc1, and it might not make a Mozilla build till 3.0.1 but it is recommeneded that linux distros apply the patch and roll it out to thier consumers [16:20] TimMatrix sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [16:20] I uninstalled the 2.24.16 restricted drivers and installed the 2.24.17 drivers along with nvidia-glx-new, now hardware manager is saying I have no restricted drivers in use on the system [16:21] maybe I should recover back to the .16 version [16:21] kbrosnan: yes, would be nice [16:21] meanwhile, digg crashes opera :/ [16:21] TimMatrix: since it happens with two different keyboards have you checked in the BIOS settings to see if there are any options in there regarding keyboard operation?

If the proprietary thing comes only for i386 for instance and your are optimising for 686 then it will say incorrect platform from package manager. And no sources to build the optimised one for your box. === sylar_ is now known as sylar [16:22] How do you alt-tab out of fullscreen apps, and why is'nt it possible to change the volume using special keys when in fullscreen?

[16:48] Did Nvidia release graphic driver for Ubuntu 8 ? [16:48] hello [16:48] ok I rolled back to the 2.6.24.16-386 from the .17, nvidia is working now [16:48] it even hang my totem quite frequently, n sometimes quite persistant! when it hang, my whole xwindows hang :( [16:48] Sarah: you should be using the generic krnel i386 is for old hardware (so is no smp capable) [16:48] Sarah - did you upgrade to the 24-17? [16:49] i dont know what i did [16:49] hm, i compiled the ubuntu kernel myself and the module sources as well but the modules do not fit to the kernel (they are placed in the wrong directory) [16:49] erUSUL - smp means multi-processor? [16:49] erUSUL, yeah i think the last one was generic, how do i get back to that? [16:49] Sarah: the "linux-image" package installs the default correct kernel [16:49] or HT support? [16:49] bsrat: yep === zera_ is now known as Gohalien [16:49] mine is going to waste then, i installed the generic === CaptainPanda is now known as CaptainPanda[awa [16:50] Jack_Sparrow: how do u install? What three things you can install? [16:50] Sarah: system>administration>startup manager choose default boot os as the generic kernel === CaptainPanda[awa is now known as CaptainPanda|afk [16:50] Sarah: you installed box doesn't it ? [16:50] erUSUL, so i should install this - linux image 2.6.24.17.19 generic linux kernel image [16:50] ? [16:50] Sarah: as i said "linux-image" is the package [16:51] but there are a bunch, i have 2 installed [16:51] the generic and the 386 one [16:51] should i uninstall that 386 one? [16:51] 应该可以 [16:51] TimMatrix I am installing the three things you saind you installed last to make sure they work for me here.. so we can eliminate them as a source of your problem [16:51] !cn | kason [16:51] kason: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [16:52] erUSUL, ok ill install it, and just leave that 386 one there for now maybe i can uninstall that afterwards [16:52] since i guess i wont be using it then [16:52] Sarah: boot with the generic one then uninstall the i386 [16:52] ok... [16:52] that means install the linux-image thing right? [16:52] Jack_Sparrow: Oh, thanks.... [16:52] can anyone help me with setting up my webcam ? After I have upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy it just doesn`t seem to work [16:52] i think they should upgrade alsa to latest 1 as soon as possible [16:52] Sarah: system>administration>startup manager choose default boot os as the generic kernel then reboot . you cant uninstall the 386 if your running it [16:53] ok [16:53] im just a bit confused now though, do i install that linux-image, or since i still have the generic one there listed as installed i just change the boot thing? [16:53] Hi! I have to linux common linux comands in my university. unfortunately i missed class. I already know some "level 0" = beginner commands like find, tr, cd, mv, rm, grep, tr, but in the exam today was trap and crontab. i would like to learn some more commands what are include in "commonity" the oney like trap and crontab or awk too. can someone help me to get a list of commands like this? [16:53] hi every one, i have installed ubuntu 8 and i have a problem with gksu, is not working [16:54] Jack_Sparrow: Using Dmesg, and found this entry as follows: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input1 [16:54] legend2440, i dont have startup manager [16:54] Hi, Does anyone has Zattoo? [16:54] D4s0tt0c4t: I am back. Do you have a pastebin result, or other info? [16:54] i have update manager [16:54] genii: yes I pm'd them to you [16:54] genii: did you get it? [16:54] Sarah: sudo apt-get install startupmanager [16:54] hi there - in XChat, "Beep on channel message" has no effect - do I need soem extra lib for that? (I do have libnotify) [16:54] (that's XChat proper on Gutsy - not the light version that seems to come with Ubuntu) [16:55] TimMatrix Doesnt mean anything to me... but it may to someone.. [16:55] is it possible to completely revert an ubuntu installation back to exactly how it was when you installed it? [16:55] so im not installing this linux-image thing? [16:55] friend1, can you use gksudo or sudo? [16:55] D4s0tt0c4t: Not received. You need to be registered on freenode before PM is possible [16:55] Zattoo???? [16:55] dmesg told me that the usb device was disconnecting and reconnecting. It definitely works if I plug it in and restart my computer, I was just looking for a lazy way to initialize it http://pastebin.com/m25d86b93 [16:55] anyone??? [16:55] genii: I see, I didnt realize that before [16:56] AaronH: yes, i tried with gksudo, don't working too [16:56] genii: that explains alot about pm's I've sent out [16:56] D4s0tt0c4t: Reading [16:56] Sarah: no i think you want to try the generic kernel first to see if it works. you can always switch back [16:56] !register > D4s0tt0c4t [16:56] if thats the one i was using before it worked fine [16:56] D4s0tt0c4t try sudo /etc/init.d/hal start to get usb drive recognized.. [16:56] ill see if it works [16:56] zitsep: it might be helpful to look at the contents of the LPI programs... http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification [16:57] I uninstalled firefox, and now when i tried to install it again using apt-get install firefox-3.0 it goes all weird :( [16:57] AaronH: i have reinstalled gksu, i have the same problem [16:57] could someone help me apply a patch , i would like some clarification on some things if possible [16:58] do you get any error messages when you run gksu from terminal, friend1? [16:58] Jack_Sparrow: it didnt work http://pastebin.com/d4547e0b [16:58] D4s0tt0c4t: I do not believe the driver name would be rausb0 incidentally. That would be some device in /dev that it would make. After you plug it in, does this devicename appear there? [16:58] Jack_Sparrow: ok [16:58] Anybody know if Nvidia has relesed the graphic driver for Ubuntu ? I asked the Fedora guys if Nvidia has released for Fedora they said no, so I'm also checking if Ubuntu has it. [16:59] ok that worked thanks [16:59] friend1 HAve you changed permissions or run gui apps with sudo and not gksudo are you on the original user and not a user you added after the install etc [16:59] AaronH: no, only appear in status bar and then desapear [16:59] Jack_Sparrow: Do you think it has something to do with daemon or something running in the background, ie. macros or short-cut keys? [16:59] astro76, thanks i will look [16:59] genii: the device is a edimax 7318USg. It uses rausb0 to interact with it for everything else [16:59] I just removed my windows partition, leaving a large chunk of empty disk space. How can i use GParted to merge that with my current Ubuntu partition? [17:00] Jack_Sparrow: Hang on, I think it's compiz. Hold on and let me check.... [17:00] TimMatrix Did you do any editing of those [17:00] Hi all :) [17:00] TimMatrix If you made some changes in shortcuts in compiz you could have knocked it out [17:01] i haven't been able to connect with tor in a long time. is there something going on ? [17:01] a new kernel? [17:01] emma PM me when you get a chance.. thanks [17:02] Jack_Sparrow: bingo! You've just given me a brainwave. yep, it's the compiz manager. [17:02] Now I know how these things works. [17:02] Is anybody up one some of the fixes or where to look to see if I should upgrade my kernel? [17:02] where's the initialization?I hava no found /etc/inittab in ubuntu 8.04 [17:02] TimMatrix So the problem was.. user error... glad you figured it out [17:02] Jack_Sparrow: I';m going to leave a response to that user who had the problem to CHECK for short-cuts on Compiz [17:03] Jack_Sparrow: notice this, I used capital c on Compiz! [17:03] TimMatrix np... welcome to Ubuntu [17:03] friend1, I dont think I am going to be able to help you get that working. :( [17:03] <`paul> how do i run a script on boot? [17:03] :) [17:03] Jack_Sparrow: lol, thanks. [17:03] How can I get to the trash in terminal? [17:03] since that kernel thing just then, now in update manager i have some stuff about 2.6.24-17, but do i really want that? [17:04] !trash [17:04] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [17:04] ok AaronH. thanks, don't worry [17:04] D4s0tt0c4t: Googling indicates it uses the rt73usb driver. If you do: lsmod | grep rt73usb does it show that driver loaded? [17:04] `paul, put a script into /etc/init.d/ for whatever you want. make the appropriate links in the runlevel directories. www.linuxfromscratch.org has a pretty good howto somewhere. [17:04] Dr_willis: thanks you. [17:04] Jack_Sparrow: Which gives me an idea. I wonder if there is such a program that lists out what's the keyboard behaviuour, like CTRL, or ALT, SHIFT, etc, with an associated key, does. It would be useful to find the problem to this by using this 'program' if such one exists? [17:05] I had java working in FF3 but I uninstalled and installed ff2 and now java does not work, can anyone help? [17:05] !java [17:05] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [17:05] Sarah: well i guess if it messed things up you could alway choose the generic kernel again [17:05] but all that is installed [17:06] Jack_Sparrow: so, I'll present another problem. The X-Sensors. lol [17:06] Is there any nice wireless networking tool thats about as good as the windows one? (I like the way the windows one knows what type of password the router requires, i also like the way it saves the profiles and automatically connects) [17:06] ok, is tor working for anyone else right now or lately ? because it hasn't worked for me in months. [17:06] TimMatrix I dont think one program could show that... any program could create its own macro set and not be seen in any system config === shelbyscates is now known as smesaynayayer [17:07] hey everyone [17:07] hey [17:07] TimMatrix sensors is still loading.. although never used it [17:07] where might be the problem if --enable-monitor=lvds,crt1 gives a different output on the external monitor than --enable-monitor=lvds,tmds1 [17:07] i just installed bitchx and im sooo happy [17:07] CsShadowRun have you tried wpa_gui? [17:07] guys, somebody knows how patch gksu in graphic mode?, it's not working to launch, stay in status bar for a moment and then desapear. I can't launch my apps in root mode [17:07] i need a little bit of advice regarding an intel gl960 graphics card with compiz, anyone help? [17:07] and everyone loves ubuntu [17:07] <|DuReX|> I'm having Audacious installed as MP3 player, now when I double click on a m3u file, it doesn't get loaded in Audacious, I just get a window to select files in it :s === voron_ is now known as Twim4 [17:08] DSoTS whats the question? [17:08] do i need to install install-css.sh in order to play dvd's even though ive install the restricted extras package installed? [17:09] since I upgraded from gutsy to Hardy the wifi led doesn't blink anymore on activity (it doesn't even turn on at all). I noticed that the driver changed from ipw3945 to iwl3945. How can I get the normal led behaviour? is it possible to switch back to the old driver? [17:09] anyone know how to show up CPU sensors, such as temperatures, clock speed, etc. for the Ubuntu 8.04? [17:09] I've got an GL960 and compiz works fine. [17:09] !medibuntu > bobboy install libdvdcss2 from here, rather than trusting random scripts please [17:09] !medibuntu [17:09] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [17:10] fde: random scripts? [17:10] I downloaded quicktime4linux-2.0.0 and it can't ./configure it says no such file or directory. I can't make either it says "make stop" how do i compile this? [17:10] something like PREFIX=/usr or something? [17:10] popey: Do you know where he got it? [17:10] back again [17:10] olskolirc: ffmpeg supports quicktime [17:10] heh it seems that all of linux is often 1/2 random scripts calling other scripts.. :) [17:10] fde: its art of the libdvdcss package [17:10] DSoTS whats the question? [17:10] I've got an GL960 and compiz works fine. [17:10] Hey does anyone know how to get dual monitors working on hardy heron [17:10] do I download ffmpeg fde ? [17:10] right, i can run Google Earth fine under xubuntu until i get compiz running [17:10] |DuReX|: right click .m3u file choose properties the open with and select audacious [17:10] popey: I wasn't aware of that [17:11] then it tells me my graphics card is unsupported [17:11] |DuReX|: right click .m3u file choose properties then open with and select audacious [17:11] olskolirc: just via Synaptic will work. [17:11] genii: not right now, but it show it when it is plugged in...is that normal? [17:11] braineatingalien: open up a terminal and type nvidia-settings [17:11] olskolirc: you want 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ffmpeg [17:11] DSoTS: did you install xserver-xgl ? [17:11] ok thanks [17:11] yep [17:11] still not helping [17:11] timMatrix, you can use the screenlets [17:11] DSoTS: you shouldn't have [17:11] olskolirc: umm, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg sorry. [17:11] ohhhhh [17:11] ok [17:11] do I install it jmknsd [17:12] so uninstall it? [17:12] fde: i got the info from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats which told me to use the command sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ... i can play movies (downloaded ones) like divx and mpeg4.. but i cant seem to play a dvd inserted into my dvd drive [17:12] <|DuReX|> legend2440: did that, when I double click, I get a message box now, 'Executable text file', I select run, but doesn't load in audacious :x [17:12] DSoTS: yes. google earth still won't work perfectly with compiz on intel (a limitation of the Direct Rendering Infrastructure) though [17:12] braineatingalien: err, is it not installed already? a gui should pop up. If not, yes install it [17:12] but it will at least run [17:12] thanks [17:12] i'll give it a shot [17:12] D4s0tt0c4t: Yes, that means it finds and loads the correct driver so you don't nned to do that part. You should be able to do something like sudo ifconfig wlan0 up to bring the wlan0 device up (which in turn is dependant on the rausb0 we discussed earlier) [17:13] how do I use apache on ubuntu? On windows there is a folder called httpd, what is the equivalent of this on ubuntu? [17:13] jmknsd its installed now what do I do once I have the settings opened [17:13] bobboy: you need libdvdcss2 from mediabuntu repository to play dvds (i think [17:13] rausb0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [17:13] |DuReX|: open .m3u with text editor. make sure there is something in there for audacious to play [17:13] bobboy: That package comes with libdvdread that can play DVD's with the help of regionset package... it doesn't actually install regionset though, and libdvdcss2 is generally preferable to the end user... despite questionable legal situation surrounding it. [17:13] friend1: screenlets? I'll find out. [17:13] genii: sorry ment to address that to you [17:14] braineatingalien: click on X server Display Configuration and a windows-like tool should appear to the right [17:14] genii: I'm just gonna restart. It definitely works when I restart with it plugged in [17:14] D4s0tt0c4t: Ah, this is then because no entry for wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces [17:14] <|DuReX|> legend2440: when I load it in the menu of audacious it works, when I double click on it, or select open with Audacious, Audacious opens with a box to select files ... :s [17:14] bobboy: to play a DVD in Totem, you have to File > Open Location... and type dvd:// [17:14] <|DuReX|> instead of opening the m3u :( [17:14] crdlb: just uninstalled xserver-xgl, run compiz and i'm still being told by google earth that I'm running opengl emulation [17:15] Totem: /var/www usually [17:15] fde: i use vlc i hate totem.. ill try this medibuntu and the libdvdcss2 [17:15] DSoTS: you need to restart your session. Xgl is still running [17:15] ahhhh [17:15] of course [17:15] i'll be back to let you know, and hopefully to thank you [17:15] since I upgraded from gutsy to Hardy the wifi led doesn't blink anymore on activity (it doesn't even turn on at all). I noticed that the driver changed from ipw3945 to iwl3945. How can I get the normal led behaviour? is it possible to switch back to the old driver? [17:15] jmknsd thank you so much I think I can figure it out from here [17:15] np [17:16] D4s0tt0c4t: You can use ifup instead, this one is not dependant on the interfaces file [17:16] genii: yes right now interfaces just shows auto lo and iface lo inet loopback [17:16] I try again, somebody knows how fix GKSU, it not working in ubuntu 8, i can't launch my app in root mode, only if I run in terminal mode [17:17] friend1: Oh what happens when you try to use gksu [17:17] ? [17:17] D4s0tt0c4t: sudo ifup wlan0 alternately [17:17] friend1: gksudo [17:18] philsf: as long as everything else is working fine, the leds for the iwl drivers are on the to-do list afaik [17:18] genii: still no luck with that. Restarting will be easier at this point. My main problem is when it is working it can see and associate with my non encrypted AP but not connect to it [17:18] is it possible to make a .so from a .dll ? [17:18] how to I enter a directory with root perms? [17:18] hak5fan: it only appear in status bar, and then desapear [17:18] friend1: try gksudo [17:18] D4s0tt0c4t: The wireles connection commands are done with iwconfig [17:18] System Monitor [17:18] astro76: everything but the led is working AFAICT, but so was with ipw [17:18] yes, i have tried, don't work [17:19] how to I enter a directory with root perms? [17:19] friend1: How doesn't it work? Does it give an error? [17:19] friend1: but you can use sudo app in terminal? [17:19] astro76: do you have any link with a discussion or information about why the driver was changed?

[17:22] Totem: Just add whatever user is supposed to be doing www files to the group of www-data [17:22] fde: is the same thing, appears in status bar and then desapear [17:22] jrib: why not? I'm the only user on my pc, and www only has root perms right now. Can I at least make the folder public? [17:22] friend1: No output on the terminal? [17:22] genii: how do I do that?

It's far from a comprehensively secure way I agree [17:24] fde:You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.

[17:28] or i correct the quetion [17:28] i see 3 letters of 'u' and one letter of 'n' which look like porn chat symbols on the ubuntu sticker. even the sticker is shaped like a 'u' when seen horizontally. who has designed this way of writing our ubuntu [17:28] what do you guys think itis the best coniguration to the laptop ntsc or pal?! dont pal will make the xorg.conf lose refresh rate?! [17:28] !ask | bobby_ [17:28] bobby_: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [17:28] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and when i boot i dont get the ubuntu logo with the bar... also i dont get the splash screen... i have a 2.4GHx P4 processor and 845 motherboard [17:28] test [17:28] fde: it doesn't but i can see how someone can mistakingly call NTFS NTSC [17:28] test [17:28] hello [17:28] Test_ it works [17:28] nvm...

[17:29] dolphin_noel: such a setting I would imagine would only apply to TV out, and it depends on what country you live as to what standard your TV is [17:29] bobby_: that happens some times does it really matter? [17:29] i just installed ubuntu 8.04 and when i boot i dont get the ubuntu logo, i just get a blank screen and it shows the login window after quite a long time.. with the bar... also i dont get the splash screen... i have a 2.4GHx P4 processor and 845 motherboard [17:29] Hi Can someone please explain to me why when I use synaptic to install a program (most recently opera) it doesn't put a launcher in the menu I started it by typing opera in a terminal but then its tied to the terminal ..... how can i sort this? [17:29] |DuReX|: i see what you mean about it opening box. i got it to work by creating playlist with easytag and including full path to mp3 files now when i open with audacious it plays the mp3s [17:29] I just want to be able to access var/www [17:29] how do I do that? [17:29] astro76 so the bios configuration to pal or ntsc dont have nathing to do whith refresh rate ... in xorg.conf ?! [17:30] and the screen display?!

Im getting NO sound at all [17:30] hak5fan, yeah.. i think it matters becos im trying to get my people to convert to ubuntu and when the startup screen itself fails.. it doesnt leave such a good impression [17:30] Totem: man chmod, man chown. [17:30] becker: You can just fire up the menu editor by right clicking the word "Applications" to make it see changes. [17:30] dolphin_noel: correct, should be for tv out only [17:30] becker: Ought to be automatic, but it's often not. [17:30] !man [17:30] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [17:30] !chmod [17:30] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [17:30] bobby_ so does it take much over a minute [17:30] thx fde / astro76 ' [17:30] !chown [17:30] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[17:35] mdeering_: correct, there has been a security update for that package [17:36] fde, i took it off and i still get no sound at all [17:36] astro76 i was thinking ... that the out to the tv have to do whith graphic card and not whith bios setting display ... :x i dontknow :x so what you recomend pal ?!

how does ubuntu let me write and delet something at other partitions like a windows or espezialy a mac partition [17:56] javier, wait [17:56] astro76: I wouldn't call it loud but it's a definate improvement [17:56] anirudh0: alright (...waits...) [17:56] arc_shmoo, a RAID 0 only stores half the information on each disk (striped) ... it does not seem logically possible to convert a RAID-1 to a RAID-0 without totally redoing the data layout on disk.. which means software has to do a long conversion process. Have you googled? [17:56] javier: because usually you use ssh instead of telnet [17:56] hey hey, can I ask something? i'm bugged by a bug in Hardy... [17:56] anirudh0: what would that script do? find all symlinks targeting ~/foo/config/, update to ~/foo/bar/config/ ? I wouldn't know how to do that [17:56]

i must delet some files in the mac partition [17:56] is there a channel that discusses specifically about wifi issues? [17:56] astro76: I know, but as I said, I'm obliged to use telnet [17:56] hak5fan: yes, adobe's player, not gnash [17:56] javier: make sure you don't leave it wide open [17:57] Swish: yes [17:57] After I set an LVM group active, what is the device that I mount in fstab?

[17:57] javier: only use it over local network because passwords are transmitted in plain text [17:57] javier: i mean, restrict access to it via a firewall at least [17:57] When I share a folder in nautilus, how can I change the permissions so that files are created with MY UID, or with world/group-writeable permissions? Or do I just have to add it to smb.conf manually? [17:57] arc_shmoo, I didn't see anything in the md commands that converted between RAID levels like that either [17:57] Swish: can you use ghost to restore the data?

I didnt have to do anything to get it working [17:58] thanks anirudh0 [17:58] rainman: you need a copy of windows, i guess [17:58] arc_shmoo, of course. Heck you could probably also "dd" it [17:58] Hey, I'm having problems with getting onto the internet (or even my network) in ubuntu 8.04. It worked fine in 7.04, but now it doesn't.

[17:58] astro76: well I am having network manager forgetting the key when ipw2200 restarts.. used to be fine with gutsy [17:58] rainman, virtualbox, vmware-server, kvm, xen, all are virtualization technologies that allow you to run windows within linux. [17:58] javier: if feasible make it listen on localhost onl [17:58] Swish: dd? [17:58] y [17:58] lnar: some cards are crap. [17:58] Inar: the backport fix didn't work [17:58] astro76: any fix for that or workaround [17:58] BlueDevil: Oh well, that's not really part of the practice, so I don't need to worry about that ^^ [17:58] BlueDevil: but thanks for the advice nonetheless [17:58] arc_shmoo, just make sure you're reading the raw data from the block-device-level that stores your data consecutively... not from the raw hard drive [17:58] Terabyte, details please...type of card, way of connecting etc [17:58] marathe25, still see one? [17:58] astro76: here is the log http://paste.ubuntu.com/14799/ [17:58] yep [17:58] marathe25, tell me what u installed [17:58] meaning not from /dev/sda, but rather from /dev/md0 [17:59] this is my problem: i saw the help page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick...then I set my usb stick as described..after that I reboot the system and type the command live-install..it appears loading vmlinuz and initrd.gz [17:59] lnar, why would installing the backports help? [17:59] arc_shmoo, dd reads raw data from a device [17:59] have any of you guys installed the 64 bit version of ubuntu ? [17:59] booby_ hows things going? [17:59] but after that [17:59] it says telnet-server has no candidate for it's instalattion, and it gives me several choices wich to choose from anirudh0 [17:59] anirudh0 Striker Extreme Nforce 6 motherboard with 1 of 2 wired connections being used. [17:59] !anyone | alexi5 [17:59] alexi5: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [17:59] theLichKing: http://bluemarine.tidalwave.it/ [17:59] alexi5, yes, on the server variant, I dont think the desktop really needs 64bit yet [18:00] javier, choose one then :)...i doubt it matters much which one you choose [18:00] it doesn't work anymore [18:00] anirudh0, there are some modules that arent charge from the beginin [18:00] anirudh0: ill do that ;) [18:00] from [18:00] from [18:00] from [18:00] esa1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

fde: ive installed hfsplus but it appears this "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'PG HDD" when i try to get in the partition [18:00] Inar: linux-backports-module-hardy-386 [18:00] marathe25, in that case try ubuntu for amd 64bits [18:00] some helps? [18:01] i think that the problem is in the syslinux.cfg file [18:01] Terabyte, connecting via dhcp or pppoe? [18:01] i have a AMD64 x2 with $GB of ram and i trying to decide whether to install the 32 bit and waste 2GB of RAM or use the 64 bit and get to use the full amouunt of memeory [18:01] Erhm does someone know how to insert a backlash in Ubuntu terminal with a Macintosh keyboard? :! [18:01] dhcp [18:01]

fde: yesterday it works great but i diddn had this hfsplus tool but i was able to see some files [18:01] Inar: wait, it looks like I should have installed the generic version [18:01] sorry, let me try that again [18:01] Terabyte, what does this give "/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart" [18:01] found out, nvm ;) [18:01] alexi5: or use 32bit with highmeme support [18:01] anirudh0 dhcp* [18:01] Terabyte, add a sudo [18:01] alexi5 RAM wastage inevitable [18:01] i had alot of problems with the 64bit version with ubuntu 7.10 [18:02] marathe25, hehe there we go [18:02] alexi5: 32bit will use 3GB of ram [18:02] Swish: im giving it a go brb [18:02] alexi5: I'm running 32bit on 4GB ram here [18:02] p: Ahh, there is a bug in Ubuntu apparently... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2221 [18:02] anirudh0 "/etc/init.d/dhcpd: command not found" [18:02] alexi5: if you are going to use it as desktop with java + flash it much easier to just use 32bit with higmem, but i have no idea is higmem support enabled in default ubuntu kernel [18:02] ok i'll stick with 32bit [18:02] alexi5: My system uses about 10% of RAM [18:02] +restart [18:02] Terabyte, sorry dhcdbd [18:03] I still haven't found how to properly compile a kernel for 8.04. rough sketch of what I'd like to do: apt-get source linux-image-`uname -r`; make xconfig; (change some options in debian/config/amd64); debian/rules updateconfig(??); AUTOBUILD=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-server (?? I just want to build amd64-server) [18:03] ^^ is that right? [18:03] Does Ubuntu support mutli processor out of the box (an "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600") ? [18:03] !compile | Swish [18:03] Swish: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [18:03] grobda24: absolutely [18:03] grobda24: yes [18:03] grobda24: yes [18:03] grobda24: yes [18:03] * Swish reads the link magnetron elicited [18:03] !kernel | Swish [18:03] Swish: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [18:03] OK, here's what google video looks like on my new hardy install: http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/bits/screenshot.png [18:03] !compile | Swish [18:03] Great :) So I can just use the generic kernel ? [18:03] hmm [18:04] I dont understand the way some things are packaged. Like the gstreamer plugins. I'm looking for the modplug plugin or anytihng to play mod files as a gstreamer plugin but I get these "packs" ... why? [18:04] anirudh0 *Restarting DHCP D-Bus daemon dhcdbd [OK] [18:04] >prompt [18:04] Swish: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [18:04] help [18:04] apt-cache search gstreamer0.10- [18:04] jjlee: which flash player did you choose to install [18:04] hey, i'm looking for a beamer theme for LaTeX that has filled and open circles up at the top of each slide to indicate the progress through the sections... does anyone know of this? [18:05] Industrial: It would be insane to package each individual plugin. [18:05] grobda24: i think ubuntu smp kernel support upto 8 as default or 4, not 100% sure, but you can also compile kernel and add support upto 256 cpus or more [18:05] thanks guys I'm reading.. :) [18:05] clicking on a video causes a "Loading..." message to briefly flash up on the area that's black in the screenshot, and then brief messages about "connecting" and "waiting for" in the firefox status area [18:05] hackel: no it wouldnt, because now i have to go seach in what package the thing i need is [18:05] Is there some here who would mind looking at their /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script and help me understand where in the script it looks for movement of the mouse to wake up? I would really like to understand it to troubleshoot. [18:05] Inar: all right, I installed the correct backports module, but still no go [18:05] hackel: which defeats the purpose of apt-get. [18:05] robg_:what type of stuff do you do on your system to allow it to take up only 10% of the memory [18:05] jjlee, amazing! i have the same problem [18:05] magnetron: flashplugin-nonfree [18:05] jjlee: did you install flashplugin-nonfree ? [18:05] IS it possible to install ubuntu using remote desktop? [18:05] jjlee, never knew [18:05] Industrial: Yes, and you would waste a lot of overhead in package files all for a 32kb plugin file. \ [18:05] I don't have a monitor here [18:06] jjlee, aren'nt the videos at video.google also available on youtube? [18:06] Is there an RPC server running, if yes, what is user / passwd [18:06] hak5fan, i tried rebooting [18:06] jjlee, google owns youtube after all [18:06] anirudh0: I think google has been busy recently improving integration with other sites [18:06] marathe25, linux-headers u have that installed?? [18:06] alexi5: I had a Vista system that could barely support Vista. I wiped it off and now I can run 5 Linuxes without problem. [18:06] anirudh0: so it's possible it worked for you earlier [18:06] bobby_ and? [18:06] Inar: yes [18:06] when i am trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on m [18:06] Industrial: The purpose of apt-get is to automatically retrieve debian package files from a repository. It has nothing to do with how things are packaged. And you would need to search for the package name containing your mod plugin in any case. Searching within the package is really no different. [18:06] man, noisy channel, bye [18:06] <}MatriX{> Network error: Connection Refused [18:06] <}MatriX{> how can he allow to connect to his port ? [18:07] y [18:07] help, I updated ubuntu using the auto updater today (may26), and now it will not open gnome or x, what should I do? [18:07] jjlee, hey...all videos have a "watch on youtube" link [18:07] anyone use screenlets? [18:07] anybody have a gutsy box they can try looking at video.google.com? [18:07] hackel: How do i know which package I need then? [18:07] hak5fan, the blank screen is still there [18:07] robg_:5 linuxes on one system? is that through some sort of virtualization [18:07] when i am trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on my desktop it will do the loading bar animation and then display a blank screen, any ideas how to fix it? [18:07] STSX: I don't think in that script mouse movement is checked [18:07] hackel: I'm not going to just install all of them [18:07] if not, I can reboot to gutsy and take a look [18:07] hackel: furthermore i just want that one gstreamer plugin and not everything in the package [18:07] bobby_ and the browser? [18:07] ramiel77: boot with the nosplash option, see what happens [18:08] marathe25, how do i do that? [18:08] browser works fine now [18:08] anirudh0 still doesn't work after that though. [18:08] ok I have issue's with the cdroms [18:08] jjlee, you said youtube worked fine right, so you could use the youtube links [18:08] BlueDevil: How does the computer wake up then? I'm not understanding. [18:08] hak5fan, thanks :)_ [18:08] someone should fix the typo "368" on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel [18:08] alexi5: I disapprove of virtualisation. [18:08] is ubuntu already installed, or are you using a live cd? [18:08] (supposed to be 386) [18:08] anirudh0: yes -- though would be nice to discover a workaround [18:08] marathe25, i have windows on it currently, i'm booting from CD to install [18:08] bobby_ then paste the contents of /boot/grub/menu.lst at pastebin.ca [18:08] I've read that Kernel/Compile page (that's what I've been reading) but it isn't clear [18:08] marathe25: type uname -a in terminal does it mention SMP anywhere? [18:08] hak5fan, ok [18:09] Terabyte, post the output of "cat /var/log/syslog|grep dhcp" on pastebin [18:09] hello [18:09] legend2440: yes, it does [18:09]

fde: wahhhhhhhhhhhh i dont get this shit [18:09] hackel: "GStreamer plugins from the "base" set " ... what is in the "base" set? and the "good" set? and the "bad" set? this makes no sense to me. [18:09] STSX: usually through some sort of hardware event [18:09] Industrial: The package descriptions should specify which plugins each package contains, but I see that is no longer the case for all of them. I do think this is a problem. Though honestly, they're pretty small, I always just install everything. [18:09] and not sure if strictly *every* video has a "watch on youtube" link -- after all, not all of the videos are hosted on youtube, or any site associated with google [18:09] i installed ubuntu on my laptop (kubuntu), lenovo, and i don't have sound, please help xD [18:09] marathe25: then dual core should work [18:09] well, tell that to my box [18:10] marathe25: lol [18:10] hak5fan, http://pastebin.ca/1030137 [18:10] hackel: well I don't know which specific plugin I need. I'd like to be able to play module files (mod/it/s3m/etc) with QuodLibet. [18:10] BlueDevil: Hmmm... hardware could mean mouse, correct? I can use that script to suspend my computer, and moving the mouse is what wakes it up. [18:10] and I still have the usual flash sound issue :-( think I'll try pulseaudio... [18:10] BlueDevil, guess what :| [18:10] bobby_ lokking at it now... [18:10] DreadKnight_: turn the sound on...make sure everything is plugged...then get ur drivers [18:10] if nothing else works, burn ur portatil [18:10] hak5fan, ok [18:10] p: Not much to get I'm afraid, it's broken. [18:10] DreadKnight_: sudo aplay -l [18:11] Uplink: what :) [18:11]

fde: the link is working but iam not so good in ubuntu^^ [18:11] BlueDevil, it worked with the live CD T_T [18:11] marathe25: how do you know only 1 is working? checked in system monitor? [18:11] has anyone tried a timed wakeup from hibernate? [18:11] i'm working on installing ubuntu from a live CD however the screen blanks after the loading progress bar [18:11] Uplink: that's good news :) [18:11]

fde: it doesn 't mount my mac partition [18:11] anirudh0, i tried once on a laptop [18:11] as in hibernate computer, then wakeup 6 hours later automatically and execute some command [18:12] Industrial: Also, this is the way plugins are packaged by gstreamer upstream... I agree the descriptions should ideally be changed. [18:12] anyone know why windows snap to the top and bottom of the screen? it's annoying. [18:12] legend2440: that, and cat /proc/cpuinfo lists only one core [18:12] ramiel77, how did you do it? [18:12] marathe25: oh ok [18:12] hackel: hmm ok ill check the gstreamer site then [18:12] Can anyone help me apply a theme i downloaded, I am using emerald on a gnome desktop. Hardy heron [18:12] Uplink: maybe if you purge the relevant sound packages and install them again, it'll work [18:13] BlueDevil, lol i tried that [18:13] given a preexisting windows installation, and given that there is no access to a windows install image, can windows still be accessed under virtualization? [18:13] jjlee: http://pastebin.org/38652 [18:13] wew [18:13] Nitricacid, using compiz already? [18:13] ....help, I updated ubuntu using the auto updater today (may26), and now it will not open gnome or x, I just get command line, what should I do? [18:13] lnar: yes [18:13] BlueDevil, BRB [18:13] Nitricacid, ok open compiz manager [18:13]

fde: and its says only root can mount this partition in media [18:13] Uplink: i'm out of ideas ATM and need to bolt:) good lick [18:13] luck* [18:13] Nitricacid, apply emerald themes with emerald-theme-manager [18:13] lnar: ok [18:13] anirudh0: how [18:14] ziptnf: It's a feature... type 'gconf-editor' in a terminal ... browse to /apps/compiz/plugins/snap/allscreens/options and set it to 1 [18:14] Nitricacid, ? [18:14] anirudh0: theres no apply/ok? [18:14] fde, beat ya to it [18:14] Nitricacid, then in window decoration [18:14] Nitricacid, you need to install emerald-theme-manager first [18:14] ziptnf: :P [18:14] anirudh0: i dont know how to apply it lol [18:14] fde, i didn't know it had to be UNCHECKED [18:14] Thomas_Hicks: You could start with typing "dmesg" and see where all the errors are when it tried to load. [18:14] lnar: k [18:14] Nitricacid, oh..just click on it, there's no OK [18:14] Industrial: http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/plugins.html [18:14] anirudh0: that doesnt work [18:14] marathe25: is there a setting in the BIOS to enable dual core? [18:15] hey all i need HELP - is there any way to recover recently deleted files? I deleted the wrong directory in krusader........ [18:15] does ubuntu have any issues installing on a stripe array? [18:15] anirudh0 http://pastebin.ca/1030139 [18:15] DreadKnight_: so looks like you "ALC262 Digital" -- is that what you configured in System->Preferences->Sound? [18:15] lnar: what do i do in this window [18:15] btw, in case anyone is interested, i had a GRUB issue previously where it wouldn't install GRUB. a simple workaround is to create a /boot partition and use that for GRUB [18:15] Nitricacid, it says command there u have to erase what it says and write emerald --replace then install the theme in emerald then restart ur session [18:15] how to install Lexmark X74-X75 driver? [18:15] so like [18:15] jjlee: haven't configured anything :-) [18:15] emerald -- Duck [18:15] if its called Duck [18:15] Nitricacid, worked the last time i used it...have'nt used emerald in a while though :) [18:15] DreadKnight_: actually, I'm ignoring that dialog when setting up my system just now, since apparently PulseAudio is what all the kool kids are using now [18:15] Industrial: That's all you need to know. :) gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad [18:15] lol [18:15] zyx386_: http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi is it supported? [18:16] DreadKnight_: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup seems to be working for me so far [18:16] #indomp3z [18:16] Nitricacid, you mean Duck is a command line option? [18:16] no its the name of the theme [18:16] lnar: how do i phrase the command again? [18:16] hackel: thanks [18:16] DreadKnight_: I find the first thing to get working is aplay $(locate .wav | head -n 1) [18:16] i need help with live CD boot install? [18:16] bobby_: here try this, it should work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=770207 [18:16] Nitricacid, emerald --replace [18:16] Terabyte, see this "....Exobyte dhclient: can't create /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.leases: Permission denied" [18:17] so emerald --Dusk [18:17] jjlee: hmm.. i'm on kde3 (kubuntu) actually [18:17] lnar: right? [18:17] DreadKnight_: (at least after you have the sound device you expect listed in aplay -l) [18:17] Nitricacid, no just emerald --replace [18:17] hi people, anyone using Evolution with Bogofilter? It seems to learn spam, but somehow it doesn't detect anything in similar incoming letters [18:17] DreadKnight_: so follow that page I referenced, is my advice [18:17] is there any way to recover recently deleted files? I deleted the wrong directory in krusader........ [18:17] oh ok [18:17] DreadKnight_, aplay is provided by alsa, not gnome [18:17] Nitricacid, u have emerald installed right?

[18:18] lnar: now i have to login/logout for this to take effect? [18:18] yes anirudh0? [18:18] jjlee: yes [18:18] Nitricacid, that command tells compiz to use emerald insted of metacity [18:18] ahhh ok [18:18] robg, ii have windows on it and i try installing from the live CD and it will give me the loading bar and then the screen will blank [18:18] !undelete | spykedtomato [18:18] spykedtomato: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although a method that might work in some cases is described at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html [18:18] Nitricacid, yes but first in emerald select the theme u want to use [18:18] Terabyte, you have a permissions problem, but i'm not sure what will resolve it [18:18] ya its selected [18:18] Hi guys, I'm using kubuntu-8.04-kde4. i ran fc-cache -fv, and now i'm getting the libcairo/gtk bug from december, where some invalid font is causing all gtk apps including firefox to crash with a floating point exception. does anyone know how i trace which fonts are causing the problem? [18:18] i only have 1 theme [18:18] BlueDevil, i blacklisted my sound driver and i got no sound... then i took it off and i still get no sound... my card is NOT getting picked up [18:18] thanks ubottu [18:18] how to install xp after ubuntu [18:18] Nitricacid, then logoff and login again [18:18] whats the command to shrink a picture 50% ?

fde: i rebootet and its there but i can't delet things whyyyyyyyyyyyy [18:18] ramiel77: did you reduce the Windows partition in size ? [18:18] hello, are there language packages for firefox 3? [18:19] DreadKnight_: I used to run Kubuntu, but found it rather a pain -- more broken than plain ubuntu. Sometimes, if you want to use kubuntu, it's actually easier to switch to ubuntu, get stuff working, then go back to kubuntu. [18:19] anirudh0, do you think reinstalling would help? [18:19] <[LMM]Iowahc> hy there, today I was planning to set up routing, everything is fine, but from inside i can't reach certain sites (f.e.: openstreetmap.org) when i log on to the server everything is fine [18:19] I'm using a swedish Dvorak layout but every time i start ubuntu i'ts still the QWERTY layout even though the QWERTY layout isn't in the list with layouts. [18:19] ok brb [18:19] Terabyte, unlikely, unless you have done something after the install that might have caused it [18:19] Hey [18:19] does anyone have their ubuntu on a cd? [18:19] Terabyte, wait for someone else to answer [18:19] can someone help me, im trying 2 install ubuntu onto a cd? [18:19] robg, i haven't messed with the partition yet but i will delete when i can install, the thing is i can't get to the install from the live cd, the screen just blanks [18:19] anirudh0 ok thanks [18:20] ramiel77, how did you do timed wakeup from hibernate? [18:20] BlueDevil, i blacklisted my sound driver and i got no sound... then i took it off and i still get no sound... my card is NOT getting picked up [18:20] can someone help me with installing ubuntu on a cd?

(And also ubuntu complains about the computer not entering sleep correctly) I have an intel integrated soundcard.. Running hardy.. [18:20] <_DonDon> lnar: I now have Ubuntu 8.04 installed on the system and now it's coming up with 3 proprietary drivers: atheros hardware access layer (hal), support for atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards, and nvidia_new. They are all checked (enabled), and the 2 Atheros says they're in use, and the nvidia_new says not in use. Still can't get wireless to work and I obviously have to install drivers for my nvidia card too. [18:20] Why does Hardy refuse to play sound in more than one application at a time. Even if I watch a video in VLC, close VLC, then try to listen to something in Firefox, it's muted... I have to restart Firefox to get sound back. Is this the "new, improved" sound system at work? [18:21] hi. i'm running ubuntu 8.04 with an nvidia 7600gs. i can't get my resolution over 640X480 [18:21] ramiel77, hmmm...apmd allows you to do it...but the ubuntu kernel did'nt support it the last time i checked [18:21] ramiel77: single boot Ubuntu will overwrite everything. [18:21] What is the output if you type uname -o in a terminal in Hardy Heron? [18:21] given a preexisting windows installation, and given that there is no access to a windows install image, can windows still be accessed under virtualization? [18:21] _DonDon, install them all and restart ur computer [18:21] Okay, scratch that... restarting Firefox doesn't help... I need to restart X [18:22] <_DonDon> lnar: there is no install button [18:22] Anyone know how I can go about undoing fc-cache -fv?

[18:22] _DonDon, check them all tilt them [18:22] hi all [18:22] anirudh0: I believe it's possible with at least vmware, I did it many years ago... if you plan on booting into windows again, you might want to make a new hardware profile first because all your hardware will be redetected with the virtual devices [18:22] Darlok_Williams: Are you using ALSA under System > .... > Sound? Try that instead of "default" or something else. [18:22] jwoods: undo whatever change you had made then run fc-cache -fv again? [18:22] mcscruff: use the screenlets daemon [18:22] <_DonDon> lnar: they are all checked and enabled [18:22] STSX: I've tried Auto and PulseAudio [18:22] _DonDon, did u restart the computer? [18:22] could anyone tell me which problems could I find while moving to ubuntu 64bits? flash/java? what else? [18:23] skype? [18:23] why does my pidgin keep crashing?

[18:23] akk: i didn't make any changes. some help file i was reading suggested running it, and since then, firefox won't start. floating point exception. [18:23] Uplink, run from terminal and find out :) [18:23] * Pers3ux has problem with compiling sl-modem driver [18:23] STSX: Trying it now. [18:23] Darlok_Williams, you mean sound or video? [18:23] anyone? screen resolution problem, nvidia card. [18:23] <_DonDon> lnar: here is a screenshot http://i25.tinypic.com/15mbj9d.png [18:23] anirudh0: just that one [18:23] Darlok_Williams, video playback used the xv port [18:23] _DonDon, ok let me see [18:23] anirudh0: Sound. [18:24] anirudh0: Video works fine. [18:24] Darlok_Williams, which can be used by only one app at a time [18:24] #/j ubuntu-offtopic [18:24] lnar: thanks worked like a charm! [18:24]

I suspect you can't actually un-do it [18:24] Nitricacid, no problem man!!! [18:24] marathe25: is there a setting in the BIOS to enable dual core? [18:24] <[LMM]Iowahc> anyone? [18:24] how do I compile using ./configure please? I don't have a ./configure in my untarred file? [18:24] _DonDon, hey did u restart the computer after this? [18:25] p: I do not know, sorry. [18:25] <_DonDon> lnar: no i did not, i'll do that now [18:25] anirudh0: And it doesn't matter if I close one of the apps... it still seems to steal the sound from everything else. [18:25] DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket [18:25] ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server! [18:25] olskolirc: what are you compiling? [18:25] akk: that's bad news. what exactly does fc-cache do? it doesn't appear to have created any hidden .conf type dirs... [18:25] jwoods: You might be able to get some info on why firefox is crashing by running it under strace and seeing what files it's trying to open just before the crash. [18:25] _DonDon, please do so and come back... [18:25] olskolirc: read the provided readme files [18:25] legend2440: I'm not sure, I haven't check. It worked OOB with the amd64 version of Hardy, though, so I don't think it's a BIOS issue [18:25] olskolirc, probably your package uses another method [18:25] quicktime jrib so that I can go on secondlife and have video [18:25] i need help with PIDGIN [18:25] this is the error i get [18:25] DCOPClient::attachInternal.

That is a KDE thing. [18:26] jwoods: AFAIK, fc-cache goes through the fontconfig settings specified in /etc/fonts, figures out what fonts to use and caches them somehow [18:26] <_DonDon> lnar: restarting now [18:26] fde i dont know :| [18:26] olskolirc: quicktime is in the repositories, no need to compile [18:26] can someone help me? [18:26] Uplink: #pidgin [18:26] _DonDon, ok... i have an hp laptop and all worked fine [18:26] anirudh0: That's what I thought too. I assume it is running because I DO get sound... just very sporadically === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master [18:26] jwoods: I know that if you make changes to settings in /etc/fonts, they often don't take effect until you run fc-cache [18:26] those don't work for me jrib [18:26] thanks [18:26] Uplink, http://www.google.com/search?hl=de&q=DCOPClient%3A%3AattachInternal.+Attach+failed+Could+not+open+network+socket+%3CUplink%3E+ERROR%3A+Couldn%27t+attach+to+DCOP+server!&btnG=Google-Suche&meta= [18:26] im having alot of trouble trying 2 download ubuntu onto my burnable cd [18:26] Darlok_Williams, ps -A|grep puse [18:26] *pulse [18:27] anirudh0: For example, Exaile plays sound fine.... Firefox does not. [18:27] akk: it does a couple of ENOENT (No such file or directory) and some EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailalbe), but then the real problem seems to be a SIGFPE after munmap called [18:27] JOnah, check md5sums [18:27] doesn't seem to be pidgin problem ;) [18:27] I had video on feisty fawn in second life and the upgrading to gutsy, i lost it [18:27] olskolirc: show me the second life documentation that tells you you need quicktime [18:27] jwoods: What I don't know is where this cache is stored ... [18:27] anirudh0: Yes, it's running. [18:27] akk: that's a good idea. i'll go see if i can figure that out. [18:27] we all need quicktime jrib [18:27] windows and linux [18:27] Darlok_Williams, too bad, that means your problem is more complicated [18:27] olskolirc, no [18:27] akk: crap, gotta take care of an emergency. if you come up with any other ideas, /msg me? and thanks for the help.

[18:28] legend2440: well, it's 2.6.24-17-generic [18:28] I have the jrib [18:28] what's the command to get your version of linux? not uname -a, that only gives the kernel. I want to find Ubuntu 8.04 or something like that [18:28] anirudh0: Well, I've had this issue since installing Hardy. Seems to me it's a Hardy issue (I've recently bought a new computer... same problem) [18:28] _DonDon, and how u try to connect [18:28] olskolirc: ffmpeg supports quicktime ... I think I told you to install the gstreamer plugin earlier... doubtful that's useful for that game, but you didn't state why... sudo aptitude install ffmpeg [18:28] from the repository jirb [18:28] <[LMM]Iowahc> noone can help me?

There is no other method I know of, but you could probably writeup a little app to do such.

[19:04] lnar: installed firefox to /usr/local/ [19:04] THIS is why I don't like #ubuntu, too many people :P [19:05] smartboy....nevermind [19:05] lordollie can a .deb file run a script after installing, that would make it a lot easier, then you'd just have to convince those who maintain the packages to have them launch some type of usage document upon finishing [19:05] indio: There are issues with some cards though, you might simply be unlucky enough to be effected by that. [19:05] santor:i m not geting that [19:05] my drive is sda1 [19:06] fde: Looks like I'm affected. If I configure dmix, no sound capture is possible. [19:06]

[19:09] Gladiator: then you have to fix that before ubuntu can do anything. Did you/do you have windows on this machine too? [19:09] santor, you could always generate a doc link to the desktop or some such that links to a manpage or other help/getting started and then is cleaned up after a certain period of time. [19:09] Yea, it works fine in windows. [19:09] I'm 100% sure it's ubuntu. [19:09] Gladiator: with the light off? [19:09] Hi, how would I add a Fedora to the bootloader configuration? Is there a way to do so without knowing what kernel Fedora is running? [19:09] amenado: can't do much pasting since I'm off the network, but it's only two lines and I don't see an eth0: [19:10] When I boot up in windows, the light comes on.

[19:12] Unable to open 'dvdsimple:///dev/scd0' why is that? [19:12] Right, amendo, that's nice, but a few months ago I fixed the problem without using that command and using pastebin. [19:12] Rixon-:you can run netstat -ant to see if a service is listening or established [19:13] FelipeS-> only during an install, after that, you must manually edit the menu.lst file [19:13] bremby: need an pulseaudio plugins for audacious. [19:13] Rixon-: right, i didnt' know if you where gonna start it tho or if you needed to look for connections when you started it [19:13] STSX: will the update for audacious be included in the repositories eventually too?

Can you please tell me how to unmount both of those partitions? [19:20] amenado: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14850/ - I just figured it was simple enough not to have to paste, but here 'tis.

[19:21] _DonDon, that will unmount all partitions that aren't currently in use, and throw an error for the ones that are in use [19:21] remoteCTRL install codecs [19:21] omg my ext3 disk is configured as ntfs in fstab is that Dangerous? [19:21] _DonDon, if you know where they're mounted at, you could simply do "sudo umount /PATH/TO/MOUNT/POINT" for each partition you want ot unmount [19:21] maximumbob-> do a sudo lshw -C network lets see what your system detects as your network nics [19:22] amenado, I don't know where the driver for it is in windows [19:22] magnus_, I'd say that if it's mounting then it is an NTFS partition, and not EXT3 as you think it is [19:22] <_DonDon> It says they're busy [19:22] soifran: apparently something wrong with libavcodec or faac [19:22] mediaportalx: i guess that wouldnt clear the Unable to open 'dvd:///dev/scd0' error, would it? [19:22] Hi all, does amd64 support surround sound on realtek AC97' ? [19:22] !surround | Metox [19:22] ajopaul: ok the problem is not overlapping partitions, it's that your partition table is unordered. Do you know which software created that table? partition magic? [19:22] Factoid surround not found [19:22] maximumbob-> per what you pasted, its okay, but somehow your driver has not activated your nic yet [19:22] _DonDon, if you are SURE that it's safe to unmount them, use the -f flag to force the unmount [19:22] remoteCTRL sounds like a scrthed cd [19:22] hello [19:22] Gladiator-> i dont know either, so you have to google and locate it [19:23] darrend: thank you, again [19:23] i have ubuntu 8.04 in vmware, eth0 was working, after reboot, ifconfig only lists lo0, any ideas? [19:23] today, after I installed some apps, Audacity among them (not Audacious), my Totem Player got "damaged" - When I double click on some file to play it in Totem, after 1-2 seconds after start short loop is once repeated, but then disappears immeadieately, and the sound is then alright. Just the beginning is wrong, and very anoying [19:23] how do i get etho0 back? [19:23] amenado: Everything there is in order, has product, vendor, size, clock, etc etc... though at the top it says "*-network DISABLED" so I guess that's what I have to fix [19:23] anyone? [19:23] dmsuperman: you are right its not mounted [19:23] mediaportalx: a what cd please? [19:23] each time i try to enable advanced desktop effects in System>Appearances in 7.10, it prompts me for nvidia driver installation. after clicking yes and restarting, it still prompts me [19:23] Kl4m, had vista initially shrunk c drive and used rest of the space for ubuntu, had some unallocated space left, used gparted to create a drive out of it [19:23] maximumbob-> yep thats the clue.. -network Disabled so you have to fix that one [19:23] remote [19:23] no not partition magic [19:23] i mean dvd lol [19:23] Bits: Are you sure you have the driver installed? [19:23] <_DonDon> so should I do sudo umount -f or sudo umount -a -f [19:24] hey, today i got my eeepc, now i tried to install ubuntu 8.04, over a usb stick, using this tutorial: http://www.teamteabag.com/2008/03/07/install-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-from-usb/, but it only flashes the underline and it wont start the bootmenu :/ anyone experience with that? [19:24] bremby: how can i be sure, asides from clicking the "install driver" button (thought it was self-evident) [19:24] amenado: how? And for the record, another ubuntu desktop install I have has the bare interfaces file (just lo) but wired still works there. [19:24] <_DonDon> so should I do sudo umount -f or sudo umount -a -f [19:24] hey guys [19:24] hi all... i just noticed that my /home partition's free space is reducing on every click i made to browse the folders... two days ago i have 1.2GB free space. without adding any new files, now i only have about 1.5MB free space. what is happening? any ideas? [19:24] magnetron - if that's a yes, how do I get that to work? I fiddled around alsamixer (installed the package), turned up the surround, but no luck. [19:25] im installing ubuntu on my laptop today [19:25] Metox: sorry, i don't know [19:25] does the Gnome xchat minimise to the notification tray? [19:25] Kl4m, from fdisk tired fix partition order, rebooted still the prob persists.. [19:25] just had a couple of questions [19:25] Bits: Go to System->Administration-> Synaptic [19:25] maximumbob-> which vendor is this card from? wireless or wired? [19:25] !xchat [19:25] Factoid xchat not found [19:25] Hi.. this is super bad and weird. I did "sudo apt-get update", then "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" but my internet dropped out while it was downloading packages. Now I can't sudo anything. Everytime I use sudo it returns segmentation fault. Sudo fdisk -l equals segmentation fault. sudo apt-get clean returns segementation fault. Non sudo commands work fine. [19:25] mediaportalx: a what dvd then please? i dont understand the term scrthed [19:25] amenado: wired, SiS900 PCI Fast Ethernet [19:25] _DonDon, the preferred way to do it would be "sudo umount -f /PATH/TO/MOUNT/POINT" but if you aren't sure where it's mounted you can check by entering "sudo df" in your terminal [19:25] sooo lol anyone there 2 answer 2day?? [19:26] _DonDon, I'd advise against ever entering "sudo umount -a -f" because it would unmount the partiton that ubuntu is currently on [19:26] maximumbob-> on that lshw -C network what driver it indicated is it attempting to use? [19:26] Any body know if AMD64 supports surround 4.1 on AC'97 [19:26] Bits: with that program, you can search through all packages you have installed, so, search for "nvidia" and one of the drivers there should be checked as "installed" [19:26] I've tried rebooting, but since that only tends to work with Windows, it obviously didn't fix my problem. [19:26] i guess not :( [19:26] amenado: I think this is what you're asking - it says "module=sis900" [19:27] "magnetron: soifran: apparently something wrong with libavcodec or faac" yes, but wht ? [19:27] <_DonDon> dmsuperman: I am on a Live CD, trying to delete the Ubuntu partitions and it says its Unable to delete /dev/sda5 and "Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5" [19:27] Bits: probably the packages' name should be "nvidia-glx-new", if you have newer computer [19:27] maximumbob-> if its pasted, no mis-translations..so am not sure.. [19:28] _DonDon, if you're sure that you don't need it then you could unmount it [19:28] ArthurArchnix: Reboot to the recovery console (at GRUB, select recovery console), and try to finish the upgrade, or at least fix sudo. [19:28] soifran: if i knew i would of course have told you [19:28] maximumbob-> there may be another entry that says driver= [19:28] <_DonDon> I just did "sudo umount -f /dev/sda5" and it said invalid argument, not mounted [19:28] amenado: ah yes, sorry missed it: driver also =sis900 [19:28] what programs can compare text files? [19:28] <_DonDon> But why is GParted telling me its unable to delete the partition [19:28] _DonDon, that's the device, not the mount point [19:28] and show the differences [19:28] sure... I suppose I could reboot into single user mode... and try and finish the update. But unless that magically fixes sudo... and why would it break? Oh well, no choice but to try it I suppose. [19:29] anyone, experienced problems with Audacity???? [19:29] I have a fresh install of ubuntu Hardy and I want to get some files off of my windows network. [19:29] It hadn't even started installing, it was still downloading. [19:29] maximumbob-> do you have that in /lib/firmware/`uname -r` ? [19:29] DonDon: gparted contains complex [partition logic. Believe gparted. [19:29] Anyway, off to go try it. Thanks flannel [19:29] _DonDon, do "sudo df" to see your mount points [19:29] thanks to all [19:29] <_DonDon> okay so i did "sudo umount -f /" and it said Device or resource busy [19:29] ArthurArchnix: Could be you were upgrading sudo when you broke, or who knows. In S.U.M. it'll tell you what you should do to fix apt (probably a reconfigure/similar) [19:29] thanks magnetron [19:29] amenado: interestingly no [19:29] by [19:29] When I load the windows computers I can't see any of the files. [19:29] bye [19:30] can I just force a screen resolution? I did everything from 'FixVideoResolutionHowto' but no luck :( [19:30] how do i add a new disk to fstab? [19:30] <_DonDon> okay so i did "sudo umount -f /" and it said Device or resource busy [19:30] maximumbob-> and then maybe you have to look in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless or somewhere in ubuntu/net/wireless [19:30] Is there anything available to fix this firefox fsync issue? it takes an age to type URLs or load my history [19:30] _DonDon, then I'm not sure what's wrong [19:30] is firefox 3 rc1 available to install on ubuntu? if so, how?? beta 5 crashes often and my experience on windows has had no crashes since i upgraded to rc1, i want to do the same here on linux!! [19:30] _DonDon: You'd be unmounting their locations in the current filesystem (probably in /media), / is your liveCD [19:31] someone facing problems with conky when a network device is up but NOT connected?

[19:36] _DonDon-> what is the reason you wanted to unmount these filesystems? [19:36] Woet: can you connect it via wired? [19:36] ajopaul: so fdisk says the partition table is ok and the system otherwise works fine? If so then it could (should) be a parted / gparted bug [19:36] Hello, I am on ubuntu 8.04, and I have a problem.

[19:37] Woet: so put the cable that is in the computer you are using now into the one you are having trouble with [19:37] nickolaus-> do a lil tutorial on samba, perhaps lots of your questions will be answered [19:37] Woet: lol, there is a reason for that [19:37] Peter_bz: | ask [19:37] Ojoo: If you're using ndiswrapper, it will show as a wired connection, because that is how it is seen.

[19:40] <_DonDon> amenado, yes [19:40] amenado: wiping your disk clean with gparted. [19:40] I did, but I guess my question is if samba has a GUI or can I only use via terminal? [19:40] _DonDon: You just need to unmoun the two partitions, which you probably already did when you did umount /media/disk and it didn't say anything. No error message means success. [19:40] _DonDon-> dont even try to uninstall, just format the partition where it is installed.. that will take care of it [19:40] why does not all disks have an UUID? [19:40] The build has a lot of problems in the file GUITest.xs--so many that gnome-terminal's scrollback isn't long enough. [19:41] !prefix [19:41] As you can see, this is a large channel.

[19:41] silly question.. i am having a mind blank.. how to do make more than one gnome panels on the desktop [19:41] amenado: in that case you can only access the computer through the CD-ROM drive. [19:41] do i have to use gparted?? [19:41] does anyone know how to view all the computers on your network? [19:42] Jaikkuli: right click, click add pannel [19:42] amenado: I don't really understand it... Googling lets me know that ubuntu usually does fine with sis900, and lspci has it showing fine too.

Right now my fstab mounts /dev/sdXY as various mountpoints, but if I ever change my partitions I'm sure that'll mess it all up [19:43] Broadcom: ok, is there a GUI for samba?

[19:45] killakali: yes you will get the grub menu [19:45] ok , i need to know if theres support in ubuntu for usb modems ?? [19:45] maximumbob-> basically, if you dont have the driver, the nic will not work [19:45] killakali408650: be very carefull you cannot afford to make mistakes.

[19:46] sooo after vista is done formatting the partition that i just created, i just put the cd in the cd drive and restart the computer right? [19:46] Broadcom: i mean like.. complete seperate ones.. like.. i could have one at the top, one at the bottom for example [19:46] Darkche1: yes, but it depends on the modem of course [19:46] killakali408650: find a friend who has done this before. [19:46] and then install ubuntu from there?? is there anything specific that i should look out for? [19:46] Jaikkuli: yes, do what i said, then move it [19:47] robg_ isn't there a way to remove ubuntu if it does mess up??

[19:50] ciaooo [19:50] test [19:51] linduxed-> is that the driver for it? tulip? [19:52] maximumbob-> well i will not argue with what you have read, but is it working for you?

For lscpi I only included ethernet line [19:53] magnus_-> is there a filesystem on it yet?

[19:55] amenado: thats right [19:55] amenado: gotta go brb [19:55] magnus_-> you can mount without using uuid [19:55] amenado: yep [19:56] Are there ubuntu forums somewhere ?

[19:57] and I can play regular mp3s off my pc in audacious just not off the web I guess [19:57] Jaikkuli: im not sure why [19:58] welllll :D [19:58] |et: Since flash is a proprietary format there isn't much for that. Although you may want to look at ktoon or synfig [19:58] Quick question for the gnome desktop, how can you remove the symbolic link "emblem" i know it's not an emblem but calling it that for lack of knowing what it is :P [19:58] <|et> okay thanks [19:58] I installed wine, I tried wine program.exe but it shows an error. I also tried wine --help and all I get is wine program argument.. whats the right command for wine please? [19:58] DaveKong: If the driver came as say, a .deb file then use: sudo dpkg -i thefilename.deb [19:59] When connecting my camera to the computer, ubuntu wants to use gphoto or gthumb or whatever to "import" the images. I just want to see the camera as a mounted volume like a usb stick. How do I make it do this? [19:59] In-Sane``: 'program.exe' is just a placeholder. You should replace it with the name of a real program [19:59] ok, I got a modem driver compiled finally and it's working, but it requires root to access it, which is a total pain in the butt since I want to use gnome-ppp. Why does it require root?

[20:17] well, I hate reasking over and over, that's not polite [20:17] witepa: so then just install it [20:17] xri, the net works fine in windows [20:17] bigsexy: it may stay in cache, or just be saved in RAM [20:17] soundray: it works now, from Edit Munus, thanks, wonder why i didnt have that [20:17] bigsexy: no that applies to every modern browser (and many other applications). this is mostly done to increase performance, you can however clean this cache our even disable it (disabling it will seriously hurt performance) in Firefox's preferences (in case you use firefox). [20:17] xri, its only in linux that i get this prob [20:17] bigsexy, secondly, more or less that is correct and the computer will keep much of it's data locally [20:18] !alacarte [20:18] Factoid alacarte not found [20:18] Can the Bot provide info about Ubuntu packages?

[20:21] Chrysalis: as far as i know, nvidia-settings is a GUI tool and nvidia-xconfig is some command line xorg.conf generator.

[20:34] so do I have to download the amd64 version or the i386 version? [20:34] james__: same error man [20:34] vlad, what video card do you have? [20:34] Slalomsk8er: yep, thats right.. does that command helps me? [20:34] soundray: heh, i just wanted to know if there is a URL for the changes that the update-manager shows too, without firing up wireshark ;-) [20:34] james__: radeon x1300 [20:34] james__: radeon x1550 which is the same [20:34] everytime I try to mount the Pearl MP3 player it tells my bad superblock [20:35] vlad, do what? [20:35] DaveKong: Just returning to the next line indicates the module successfully loaded [20:35] james__: do what? [20:35] soundray: basically, update-manager isn't showing yet whats changed at the nvidia driver. i had crashes and wanted to read the change log. i can also wait a day with the update [20:35] In-Sane``:yes you can let it write a typescript of your terminal session with the output of the command in to a file [20:36] vlad, is that just the video card or is it also a capture card/tv tuner? [20:36] :o [20:36] hello [20:36] xri: or update blindly and cross fingers... [20:36] james__: just video card [20:36] !hi | tuchki [20:36] tuchki: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:36] thankyou [20:36] which card do you have, the 1550 or the 1300? [20:36] someone know how can i let free space on desktop [20:37] Slalomsk8er: thank you [20:37] xri: I always assumed that if update-manager doesn't show the changelog, it means that it hasn't been written yet [20:37] soundray: i do that on most updates :-) but in this case i'd like to see if there is a chance for a fix of my problem :-) [20:37] hi all [20:37] oh i need to reboot just finished updating [20:37] i want to have a screenlets always visible [20:38] soundray: that may well be true. i'll wait until it shows the text. i don't have grave problems right now, just some rare crashes in some 3D apps [20:38] tuchki: turn off the widgets layer [20:38] I hope this update takes care of my recent X crashes [20:38] mnemonic_: I did alsa reload and sound works [20:38] ok KlrSpz , and then? [20:39] tuchki: and then they should always show? [20:39] yes they are, but when i have a maximized window, screenlet cover it [20:40] turn the "always on top" feature off for the widgets [20:40] hardy heron soundcard not working please guys help [20:40] !sound | FrancisFarme [20:40] FrancisFarme: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:41] can someone help me use samba to find a computer on my network [20:41] Good evening. I wonder if I could find some help for my graphics problem. [20:41] !ask | masterpop [20:41] masterpop: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:41] Hey all, I'm having a hard time getting my usb hard drive to work on Hardy. dmesg says "Read/64 error -71" [20:42] dfarmernv: are you plugging it into the mainboard directly, or into an external hub? [20:42] Miesco: congratulations [20:42] KlrSpz, i want that when i maximize a window, it maximizes whitout cover the screenlets, smoething like reserve that space only for screenlets. is it possible to do that? [20:42] It's straight in to the back of the pc [20:42] say what? [20:42] I've messed around with my sound drivers alot is there a way to send them back to default to try smthn new? [20:43] Brief description: loaded 169.12 nvidia drivers using EnvyNG; computer starts in Low Graphics mode- cannot change resolution. Running nvidia-settings brings error: "You do not appear to be using NVIDIA X Driver". Various attempts to configure xorg.conf failed. [20:43] tuchki: i'm not following what you're wanting.. doesn't make sense to me; or it's contradictory to what the concept is [20:43] why is wmv streaming support so bad for ubuntu firefox, if u try to jump in time ur video pretty much always just stops working [20:43] dfarmernv: is Ubuntu running as the main OS, or as a guest in a virtualbox or similar? [20:43] KlrSpz: i think he wants something like Vista SideBar [20:43] navetz: just go to network:// in nautilus. Sorry I or try smb://computerIPOrHostName [20:43] no eth0 device after reboot, ifconfig has no eth0, just lo0, im on vmware [20:43] havne't a clue what that is [20:43] Quick question for the gnome desktop, how can you remove the symbolic link "emblem" i know it's not an emblem but calling it that for lack of knowing what it is :P [20:44] soundray, It's main OS [20:44] obf213: becouse wmv stands for WINDOWS (tm) movie [20:44] running native [20:44] KlrSpz: it's like giving your screenlets a couple of inches of your monitor real estate exclusively. so that when you maximize windows, the alloted space still remains unchanged [20:44] hak5fan: oh sorry, I am using kde [20:44] ahhhh [20:44] hi guys [20:44] i'm certain that's possible [20:44] i don't know how exactly, but i'm sure it is [20:45] yes babolat, that is what i want [20:45] hak5fan: oh I found it [20:45] erUSUL, yeah i know just figured it would be this terrible [20:45] dfarmernv: as far as I know, this is a timing issue. I've had this once, and by pulling the plug and reinserting I could eventually make it work. On another occasion, I just couldn't fix it at all. [20:45] james__: still there? :D [20:45] navetz: Good [20:45] Hello [20:45] tuchki: KlrSpz: i've already seen a screenshot of such a setup somewhere just forgot where, never mind how [20:45] hak5fan: thank you [20:45] Ubuntu is taking forwever to boot in qemu... [20:45] soundray, alright. I've had the drive work twice and the rest of the time not too. I guess I'll just have to remember not to reboot once I get it working :P [20:45] soundray: I got my modem drivers compiled finally, and they work, but they require root permission because I have to run something to load the module [20:45] np. You can also add network drives with knetattach [20:46] What give Ubuntu control over LCD brightness? Is there a kernel module I can unload to stop it altogether? [20:46] soundray: I don't want to type in my pass just to connect. [20:46] hi i just installed ubuntu on my comp in a dual boot environment [20:46] hi all [20:46] tuchki: also, a quick-tip, in xfce and even in compiz (it's actually an opendestkop.org standard) you can right click and middle mouse click the maximize button to maximize vertically OR horizontally exclusively [20:46] everything seems to work good except [20:46] the wireless connectivity [20:46] soundray: what I was thinking though, is if I change permissions on the thing I have to run that loads the module, how would I do that? I can't find it for some reason. I know it exists, but when I search file system with search, it doesn't show it [20:46] killakali408650: what kind of wireless device? [20:46] ariqz: erm, did my suggestion not work? [20:47] connection dropped, back. Not sure if anyone replied to my earlier msg.. [20:47] navetz: There's generally more kde users in #kubuntu, but less activity [20:47] jrib: To be honest, I haven't tried it yet. I wanted ot try to make the file executable without root [20:47] i just installed ubuntu on my comp and im having trouble with the wireless connectivity [20:47] thank you KlrSpz, that is nice [20:47] jrib: I just haven't figure out how yet ;P [20:47] it picks up the network but when its connecting its having trouble [20:47] op [20:47] can someone help me out?? [20:47] tuchki: yeah i use it for a similar purpose [20:48] ariqz: your best bet is to set it up in sudoers. What are you executing exactly? [20:48] what is the dir /s filename.* version for linux? [20:48] ariqz: if the name of the module was ltmodem, you could just do a 'echo ltmodem | sudo tee -a /etc/modules' to have it loaded at boot time [20:48] jrib: martian_modem [20:48] Is it at all possible to have to instances of the same program installed/running (specifically firefox) both using different configurations? [20:48] killakali408650: you have to respond back; but are you sure you're typing your key in correctly, and with the right encryption? [20:48] yes [20:48] ariqz: heh, you gave up on ltmodem then :) [20:48] i like checked it all [20:48] and all the keys work [20:48] yes [20:48] right now im using vista [20:48] not that i know of, sharperguy [20:48] so i even double checked on there [20:48] Hello again, so my sudo is still broken, even after booting into single user mode and completing the updates. To recap, I did sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Then my internet dropped out and packages did not complete downloading. Now I can't sudo anything. Everytime I use sudo (or gksudo) it returns segmentation fault. While in SU I reinstalled sudo. [20:48] ltmodem is a martian modem driver [20:48] sharperguy: you could do something silly like running it as another user; otherwise it's up to the application to know how to support multiple configuration [20:48] and the keys are right [20:49] err [20:49] other way around ;p [20:49] i have had no trouble with the drivers at all :D === gregoirelamerded is now known as zoxea [20:49] ariqz: do you insert it with modprobe at the moment? [20:49] ubuntu for some reason won't let me have advanced graphics run on my laptop [20:49] ariqz: yeah, it's on the wiki right? [20:49] eaw [20:49] hey, has anyone got this distro to do extended desktop? [20:49] KlrSpz, might just do that then... [20:50] tried to do it, however, all i got was a clone [20:50] killakali408650: and the encryption schema is right too? as well as sometimes you have to specify if it's an "open" or "shared" key system; some routers are specific, some allow you to accept both [20:50] open wep [20:50] i load it with modprobe in rc.local [20:50] and schemma? [20:50] babolat: the screenlet would need to set _NET_WM_STRUT to tell the window manager to avoid placing windows in that area, but some window managers have a feature to allow the user to set an area without any windows setting _NET_WM_STRUT [20:50] !prefix [20:50] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [20:50] alguem sab cairo-dock igual o dock do mac? [20:50] i also run martian_modem [20:50] but then I need root to use it [20:50] which is aggravating [20:50] ariqz: what exactly do you have to run as root? [20:50] crd1b: o_O [20:51] soundray: wvdial, gnome-ppp [20:51] !pt | alessandro [20:51] alessandro: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [20:51] What can I do if typing sudo always results in "segmentation fault"? [20:51] vlw [20:51] I don't have permission to /dev/ttySM0 otherwise [20:51] ariqz: you only need to run those once, no? After that you can connect with 'pon provider'. [20:51] should i reboot and try again klrspz? [20:51] !modem | ariqz, have you read this [20:51] ariqz, have you read this: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [20:52] vlad, yup but just for a bit [20:52] ArthurArchnix: hey, i remeber you. you were here like 6 months ago with the same question [20:52] ArthurArchnix: buy new RAM ;-) seriously. the disk may be corrupt (run e2fsck), a wrong binary may be installed. or your computer has a damage [20:52] or this time i can just use the ethernet port for the first time connecting [20:52] I don't have to do that with any other modem drivers.. and I'm sure there is a way to get around it [20:52] oh and for some reason when i was running the memory check it said my cpu was a p3 [20:52] my cpu isn't a p3 its the t9300 dual core 2.5ghz [20:53] ArthurArchnix: i got the same answer as 6 months ago: your computer hardware is damaged, needs fixing and probably replacement [20:53] I want to install ubuntu sever with the gui. can i only use the gui when i need it? Or will it boot to the desktop by default??? [20:53] how can i confirm that the system sees the t9300 [20:53] ? [20:53] can someone help me with samba, when I go to a network computer the address is smb://somestuff, how would I get there through a terminal? [20:53] babolat: oh it was tuchki who has the problem :) [20:53] ArthurArchnix: or you just messed up your installation completely. but sudo usually runs fine on vanilla ubuntu machines [20:54] bazhang: you there? [20:54] navetz: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html#windows-networking-clients you'll need to mount it somewhere [20:54] ariqz: what happens when you configure your ppp connection, then try to use it with pon? [20:54] ariqz: the wiki page describes your options. A few of them seem to allow you to connect without a password [20:54] !dialup > ariqz (read the private message from ubottu) [20:54] xri: he came here some time ago, telling us about more than ten reinstalls of different linux distros with similar problems [20:54] good evening [20:54] can anyone help me??? [20:55] !helpme | killakali408650 [20:55] killakali408650: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience [20:55] !hi | tuomas_ [20:55] tuomas_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [20:55] navetz: or do "man smbclient" might be what you need. [20:55] xri: I did a memtest a week ago and there were no problems. It can't be a binary install problem because nothing new was installed, the packages were only beginning to download. I can fsk the disk, but I have a large number of partitions on an extended partition, is it safe, do you know of a good primer? i'll take a look at the man page obviously. Thanks Magnetron, I don't recall seeing this error before. But as I said, my m [20:55] Steve-cal: thanks [20:55] How can I have Pidgin autostart and connect on boot? [20:55] okay, how can i make ubuntu see my t9300 intel processor [20:55] i've seen the wiki page many times, jrib. It's that I can't access /dev/ttySM0 without root. gnome-ppp doesn't require a password by default [20:55] killakali408650: describe your problem on a single line please. [20:55] magnetron: so bad hardware or PBKAC ;-) some CPUs might be not 100% intel compatible and cause strange problems. [20:55] ariqz: you're in those groups it mentions? [20:56] ariqz: what do you get from 'ls -l /dev/ttySM0'? [20:56] linkmaster03: go to presences, then sessons. [20:56] Firefox 3.0 in Ubuntu Hardy has an issue it seems with login pages...... quite often I find myself in a loop with the login page after having been told I have successfully logged into the site .... I am repeatedly sent back to the login page.... WHY??? [20:56] killakali408650: cat /proc/cpuinfo [20:56] xri: magnetron Plus, everything works fine except for sudo, so that doesn't seem to point in the direction of hardware failure. [20:56] ArthurArchnix: what CPU do you have? cat /proc/cpu [20:56] #ubuntu-server [20:56] when i was doing the memory test the system said i had a p3 processor, when i actually have a dual core processor, i am worried that the system isn't using both of the cores how can i fix this [20:56] BCM43: thanks i had no clue ubuntu had that, whoa :o [20:56] i'm looking for worldchat [20:57] ArthurArchnix: plz don't start. it IS a hardware problem. we discussed this to great length. i've got nothing to add [20:57] !info worldchat [20:57] Package worldchat does not exist in hardy [20:57] I keep having this problem where nothing loads after I login except for my wallpapers a I can't figure out if the problem is with gnome or xorg or what. Does anyone know what to do? [20:57] killakali408650: do a 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ^processor'. How many lines do you see? [20:57] magnetron: I think you've got the wrong guy. [20:57] Firefox 3.0 in Ubuntu Hardy has an issue it seems with login pages...... quite often I find myself in a loop with the login page after having been told I have successfully logged into the site .... I am repeatedly sent back to the login page.... WHY??? [20:57] always used mirc [20:57] zetheroo: please wait a little longer before asking again [20:58] btw syslog reports some errors with pulseaudio [20:58] xri: Its under cpuinfo, but its a intel duo core t2050 [20:58] ArthurArchnix: well there is also an unlikely chance that you have an error in the config file and sudo crashes instead of printing an error message. but that's rather unlikely that tools is in wide use, bugs are usually found.. [20:58] My hardy heron doesn't allow any other ICON THEME except gnome, how come? after last general updates my earlier icons were replaced by ghastly gnome-ones. Any clues? [20:58] anyone know of a good motherboard that has RAID built-in? Preferably 4-6 SATA slots too [20:58] releod: wrong channel. Try ##hardware [20:58] ArthurArchnix: thats a normal CPU, i have a core 2 duo too. that is not the problem. hmm [20:58] oops [20:58] thanks! [20:59] Why would nmap localhost show something different than an nmap from a machine on the same network? [20:59] anyone? [20:59] hi, when I extract an archive with file-roller, my firefox freeze while the extration, am I the only one or is it something known ? [20:59] Ktron: nmap localhost scans on the loopback interface [20:59] !patience | zetheroo [20:59] zetheroo: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [21:00] ArthurArchnix: if you want to go lowlevel... you could enable core files. let it crash and analyze the core file with gdb... but that needs some programming experience [21:00] Ktron: becouse localhost goes through lo and the other is through another iface (ethn or wlann) [21:00] soundray: a whole mess of junk I can't remember all of. :P [21:00] magnet, ah... so for some reason cups is listening on lo and not my other adapters... [21:00] root root dates [21:00] This all happened during my update. I'm gonna restart in single user again and purge myself of /tmp /var/cache and any gnome locks or such. xri, yeah, that's well beyond me. If cleaning out my apt directories doesn't solve it I'll create a new user and see if sudo works for it. Back in a bit. [21:00] Would anyone happen to know when 'ppa.launchpad' sources are going to become authenticated? [21:00] ArthurArchnix: one step easier would be running "strace sudo" and see what it tries to load/do before it crashes [21:00] Flannel: maybe its just my internet connection ... but it seems that nothing is moving in here,.... like not much activity.... [21:00] ariqz: you're making it a real pleasure to help you. Have a good day\ [21:01] Ktron: System>Admin>Printers> Sever preferences [21:01] xri... good Idea. I'll install strace while I'm in single user mode. [21:01] thanks [21:01] soundray: the computer is in a whole other room, it doesn't have irc installed or anything, so I could download it, get on in there and you'd be gone by then anyway [21:01] erUSUL, I don't have a GUI, I did a ubuntu server install and selected the Print Server option [21:01] what part of it do you want? [21:01] My hardy heron doesn't allow any other ICON THEME except gnome, how come? after last general updates my earlier icons were replaced by ghastly gnome-ones. Any clues? I've tried to apply other icons but with no success. [21:01] erUSUL, I'll have to dig around I guess [21:02] zetheroo: What's your point? You don't need to ask every 3 minutes. Wait 15 or so at least. Everyone who's awake now saw your question, you need to wait for more people to wake up to ask again effectively, otherwise you're just asking the same people over and over. [21:02] Ktron: /etc/cups/cupsd.conf then [21:02] Can anyone discern what's going on here? Or at least point me to another channel or website that will fix this problem? http://paste.ubuntu.com/14878/ [21:02] Flannel: sorry about that [21:02] Flannel: do you have any insight regarding my query? [21:03] can someone help me with smbclient, how do I connect to a network computer with it? [21:03] heh, we need a #ubuntu-question-pickup channel where no discussions take part, but where the questions clearly stand out from the chatting ;-) [21:03] Does anyone at all know how to remove the Symbolic Link icon from desktop icons? [21:03] james__: anything else i can do? [21:03] freddy_engels: when do you get that error? [21:03] zetheroo: Nope. I'm still on 1.5 myself. You could try googling around and/or searching the forums (ubuntuforums.org) in the meantime. [21:03] hi all [21:03] zehteroo: my understanding is that firefox 3 is still beta and consequently has some problems. Use an earlier version. [21:03] soundray: what a twerp. Let me help you, but first tell me all the contents of your hd memorized in binary format [21:03] !hi | pr0ggie [21:03] pr0ggie: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:03] Flannel: the only info I found was it happening in Windows XP.... which was useless [21:03] Some sites don't work for me in 3.0, so I use 2 when it starts fucking up. [21:03] erUSUL, you're the man, thanks [21:04] Ktron: no problem [21:04] BCM43: When I start loading X11 [21:04] and btw, that wiki doesn't work either. the version of martian you get being helped by the wiki link doesn't compile [21:04] freddy_engels: watch the launge [21:04] hardy+nvidia+dualscreen ... effects? [21:05] but that's what you get from ubuntu support, more troubles ;P [21:05] fostot: don't use links? :) [21:05] hi does anyone know how to install a jre from sun? [21:05] !java > mohbana (read the private message from ubottu) [21:05] como se llamaba el canal? jajaja [21:05] how do i install jasper for yahoo messenger on kopete? [21:05] jrib: did you read my message? i meant a jre i downlaoded myself [21:06] BCM43: After I login to ubuntu, nothing loads except for my wallpaper. [21:06] mohbana: why? it's better to use the repositories [21:06] m-c: yes, that is possible [21:06] The only way I can get anything to work is by going into failsafe gnome [21:06] (which I'm in right now) [21:06] crd1b: thanks [21:06] http://cshadowrun.googlepages.com/mouse.PNG Anyone got any ideas how i would go about this? [21:06] ok [21:06] crd1b: can you offer another idea then? [21:07] just tell me how to do it please [21:07] how do i install jasper for yahoo messenger on kopete? [21:07] mohbana: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [21:07] mohbana: I am telling you the best and safest way. If you want to do something else, then I can't help you. Sun does have instructions on their site though [21:07] erUSUL java does not support mozilla firefox for some reason [21:08] fostot: use .desktop files in your ~/Desktop folder [21:08] zetheroo: It's not useless. It's a firefox problem, which means it could very well be OS independant [21:08] mohbana: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [21:08] BCM43 - so you know... it was the "evdev" driver that is buggy, I changed it to "mouse" and it worked [21:08] harpreet: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [21:08] bye [21:08] anyone got any tips on getting lotus symphony installed in 8.04? I have tried using xterm, reqular gnome, failsafe gnome, reg gnome with compiz killed... I will run the installer and check the error if that would help, just weird that it fails. [21:09] hello ppl, Happy holidays! [21:09] I've been using the new ubuntu release since it came out ... and audio seems to only work with one application. is multi-channel audio broken? is there a known fix?? [21:09] erUSUL it is available in package manager too but it shows it cannot be installed [21:09] how do i install jasper for yahoo messenger on kopete? [21:09] Flannel: here is what I found http://onubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/05/breaking-infinite-login-loop.html [21:09] Now, I want to know why my firewall won't let any internet tr5afic to my internal network, any takers? [21:10] tru [21:10] ufl [21:10] harpreet: are you on 64 bits? if so use "icedtea-gcjwebplugin" package [21:10] BlackRece: either you've blocked it off or you haven't set /proc/sys/ipv4/ip_forward to 1 [21:10] #ubuntu [21:10] erUSUL sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin [21:10] erUSUL yes i am on 64 bit [21:11] Slart: where do i set that? [21:11] BlackRece: i once upgraded and the old version of firestarter blocked me out of my net - so try to flush the packetfilter roules [21:11] hi i need some help with updates: suddenly synaptic proposes a lot of updates, among which the kernel. Where on the net can I verify this is OK? [21:11] not using firestarter, pure iptables [21:11] BlackRece: try this .. first "sudo -i", then "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward", then "exit" [21:11] zetheroo: that's a login loop with XP, not with firefox on XP [21:12] after 3 days, I have my GRUB problem fixed, and I'm now the self-proclaimed leading IRC expert on GRUB and Adaptec SCSI adaptors [21:12] BlackRece: then flush your iptables [21:12] Flannel: ok well then I have found nothing about this issue by googling it.... [21:13] soll: same thing here.. also got a load of updates.. including a kernel update [21:13] Slart: best test method? [21:13] ok, I know a file exists, but when I goto places -> search for files. Select file system as folder, it doesn't find the file. WHY? [21:13] multi-channel audio in 8.04? anyone? [21:13] is the search not recursive? because that's just dumb [21:13] Frenzi: congratulations - i gave up an a old sata board (ak35gtr) and used the windows boot loader to load grub ^^ [21:13] BlackRece: well.. the forwarding thing only affects other computers on the internal network.. try just surfing from one of them [21:14] Slart: no joy! [21:14] ariqz: case sensitivity? the tracker hasn't updated the index yet and the file new? the search doesn't work the way you think it does [21:14] slalomsk8er ... I went through a lot of ideas before flashing the BIOS on the Adaptec adaptor... I refused to do the Windows thing [21:15] BlackRece: have you set up NAT? [21:15] slart: how do I search like dir /s filename.* in dos? [21:15] ariqz, it can't find any files when you select file system or only particular things?\ [21:15] crd1b: ok can you explain how to get the Launcher to actually open the folder instead of treating it as an application/octet-stream [21:15] Slart: echo 1 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward is less verbose [21:15] ariqz: what is the name of the file you're looking for?... I don't speak windows.. sorry [21:15] ariqz: find . -name filename.* -print [21:15] it doesn't find what i want it to that I know exists. I don't know if it can't find any or not [21:15] Slart: i think i have, let me just restore iptables with my NAT rules [21:15] after installing NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2 with apparent success I had to reboot, the Nvidia kernel module is loaded and I see an Nvidia logo, then I quickly get to the login screen, then the screen goes black.

TIA [21:16] erUSUL: ahh.. knew there was a workaround for that kludge.. thanks [21:16] thanks jackol [21:16] Slalomsk8er: FLushing iptables didn't work cos it wiped my nat rules!

[21:48] timetrap: nope, but maybe still - apparently the installer is waiting for "activity" from kb or mouse [21:48] timetrap, for example terminal [21:48] quite a lot of them [21:49] dutch: That would be the key, if the terminal is still working, and the installer is not. Remove the KVM from the mix and try it again. [21:49] lw0x15: you need to be more specific, give me a name and the error that you get [21:49] timetrap: Don't have a KVM - direct mouse/kb etc. But maybe, just maybe, it is related???

[21:53] hey, BlackRece, you here? [21:53] grub cannot mount selected partition [21:53] gavintlgold: glad to hear that you got it working [21:53] StevenX: just alt+tab to another window and the fullscreen app will be minimised [21:53] k [21:53] is there any way of changing the aspect ratio of a zoom window? [21:53] freddy_engels: Is your goal to get rid of pulseaudio? [21:53] navetz: use rsinc [21:54] *rsync [21:54] Slalomsk8er: what is that? [21:54] b [21:54] emma: yeah, it is ust making problems [21:54] Howdy all. If I have understood this correctly, software such as konversation, amarok and kaffeine are kde-based, right? Will using that kind of software in gnome cause problems? [21:54] remote sync trou a ssh tunel of some sort [21:54] lw0x15: your terminal has no prompt? [21:54] i cannot get ubunto to boot! its installed, grub is installed it REFUSES to boot :( [21:54] muramasa: no, it wont [21:55] emma: What exactly does pulseaudio do? [21:55] timetrap, its not about my terminal.. its just an example.. the same happens with other apps [21:55] i just have to force quit [21:55] freddy_engels: okay take a look at this link, especially the part at the bottom about how to remove pulseaudio -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [21:55]  navetz: if you use windows on the other end install cwRsync [21:55] radit: one problem at a time, if they are related they will all be resolved at the same time [21:55] I440r: what disk is grub installed on? the external hard drive? [21:55] muramasa: No, although the first time you start such an application in Gnome, it will be very slow to start... and by default it will not match the Gnome desktop at this time. [21:55] hi i just upgrade Ubuntu 8.04 but the new kernel is orrible [21:55] radit: launch a terminal and tell me what you see [21:56] how can i turn back to the old kernel? [21:56] is there any way of zooming a selection? like u drag out a zoom box or something [21:56] freddy_engels: pulse audio is an abstraction layer of some kind that seems to sit between ALSA and your sound card. When or if it worked it would provide some possibly nice functionality but for many people it does not. [21:56] fde, Killeroid: I see. Then I can exclude that from my troubleshooting then. Kaffeine often breaks down so I have to reinstall it in order to play any movies, also Amarok has broken down a couple of times. [21:56] muramasa: So, issues no, but inconsistency and resource intensive, yes. [21:56] yes. the external usb drive [21:56] Anyone able to help me, I need to know how to open a shell terminal in a source directory. (brand new to ubuntu so go easy) [21:56] Can anyone help me get my wireless working again? After this last upgrade the wireless option is gone [21:57] muramasa: Ensure that they are set to use ESD/PulseAudio rather than Arts. [21:57] killer yes the external usb drive has the grub and the OS installed on it [21:57] I am using Hardy Heron and I have a problem with the Chess game. I cannot load a saved game. When I load a saved game (.pgn file) it instantly says, "GNU Chess wins. The white player has resigned". Then I cannot continue the game and all the white pieces are immobile. What am I doing wrong? [21:57] putting grub on the internal drive is NOT an option [21:58] I440r: can you pastebin your grub menu list (its fround here /boot/grub/menu.lst) [21:58] Ojoo: Can you be more specific... you want to be able to browse to a directory and say "open a terminal here"? [21:58] i know where it is hang on [21:58] emma: Thanks. Hopefully this will fix that bug. :) [21:58] is there any way of zooming a selection? like u drag out a zoom box or something [21:58] Just a easy question..how do i change password for my computer? [21:58] Can anyone help me get my wireless working again? After this last upgrade the wireless option is gone [21:58] fde: Right now it's on Auto, will change it to PulseAudio then [21:58] ManBlue: what wireless card? [21:58] *which [21:59] atheros Killeroid [21:59] aach - How do I enable xdmcp on ubuntu? All FAQs tell me to go through gdmsetup security tab, but the 'enable xdmcp' in fact is not there! :-/ [21:59] muramasa: That _should_ improve the situation. [21:59] well, I still can't get my wireless working so I downloaded a madwifi it says to install it i have to make a shell termial in the madwifi source directory [21:59] !madwifi | ManBlue [21:59] freddy_engels: I hope so as well. [21:59] ManBlue: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:59] fde: Can I leave videodriver as auto? [21:59] muramasa: sure. [21:59] ooh, perhaps under 'remote' ? [21:59] the documentation doesn't have enough [22:00] yes! thanks for everything. :p [22:00] I downloaded madwifi, typed "make", then what? [22:00] Ojoo: I imagine it means to type 'make' within the source dir [22:00] did that Ojoo, then I don't know the next step [22:00] how do i do that? (sorry im a noob) [22:01] ManBlue and Ojoo are having the EXACT same issue... fun. [22:01] deep [22:01] i need help with 8.04 live CD, when i try to run it so i can install ubuntu, the loading progress bar shows and then the screen goes black [22:01] Ojoo: What do you have currently? Just a file with the extension 'tar.gz' or something? [22:01] fde: Thank you. I will try out these new settings for a while :-) [22:01] j/ #linuxac [22:01] i extracted it on my desktop [22:01] why can't i open admin apps in gnome after i upgraded to 8.04? [22:02] killer http://pastebin.com/d32dc9dad [22:02] so i have the file madwifi-0.9.4 file sittin there [22:02] j/ #linuxac [22:02] I extracted to documents [22:02] the grub.conf is fine. thats not the problem [22:02] Ojoo: ok... then go to Applications > Accesories > Terminal ... cd /Desktop/whateverfolderitis and follow the instructions from there. [22:02] this installation of grub wont even boot my internal drive OS's [22:02] Slalomsk8er: what do you mean admin apps? sudo command hasnt stopped working [22:02] Ojoo: You'll need to 'sudo aptitude install module-assistant to ensure you have all required deps though [22:03] the references to the internal drives partions will be deleted from this once i got things working. this drive will be used to boot THIS DRIVE only [22:03] o an sudo -s in gnome terminal gives me : sudo: unable to resolve host mypcname [22:03] (It depends on build-essential and kernel-headers etc etc...) [22:03] I440r: next time you address a comment to me, use my full nick or else i might miss it [22:03] but in tty it worked yust fine [22:03] (Also rather handy if the source provides helpers that module-assistant can use...) [22:03] Killeroid, yea i keep forgetting killer works lol [22:04] flash is broken on my 8.04 ubuntu system in firefox. How do I just uninstall, and then reinstall? [22:04] kajo, go to synaptic and search for flash [22:04] kajo: no need... sudo aptitude reinstall [22:04] no seriously, I typed make already and I'm not clear what to do next [22:04] kajo: That is probably not the issue though. [22:05] fde, what would cause it to stop working/what do I need to do? === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [22:05] I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and getting the error: unable to start visualization, "Failed to link new visual efffect into Gstreamer pipline" when clicking "vizualization" in Rhytyhmbox how do i solve this? [22:05] fde, it was working fine a while ago... [22:05] kajo: do you have gnash installed? how about swfdec? (dpkg -l them to see) [22:05] hi [22:06] fde, no, I always did flashplugin-nonfree [22:06] kajo: Please check. [22:06] kajo: Just for kicks [22:06] I440r: simply change the (hd1,1) to (hd0,1). since grub is installed on the external hd, the external hd is the first hard drive it will see. [22:06] can snybody help me with ircii? somebody using it? where can i find some help? [22:06] I440r: http://pastebin.com/m6abad103 [22:06] fde, how? [22:06] aptitude search? [22:06] ManBlue-> read the README file included with the tar ball [22:06] erm no [22:06] fde: By the way, wouldn't 'alsa' be more logical to use? (Note: I'm still in the 'beginner' phase, but most sound related issues I've worked with use alsa to some degree) [22:06] kajo: I said... 'dpkg -l gnash' and 'dpkg -l swfdec' [22:06] oohhhh [22:06] ok it looks to me like the gnome netapp gave me network but broke my sudo :( [22:06] ! [22:07] muramasa: No, because Ubuntu no longer uses dmix by default. [22:07] if i boot the external hd IT becomes hd0 ? [22:07] muramasa: PulseAudio replaces dmix. [22:07] fde: Ah I see :-) [22:07] Hm. Why would VNC auth fail, even when configured to use correct vncpasswd file? [22:07] fde, I have neither. [22:07] is there something more straight-forward and light then f-spot for gnome? something like the kde one. . i forgot its name [22:07] Killeroid, thanks lol [22:07] can any one help me with the ubuntu 8.04 live CD? [22:07] hi [22:07] ok, bye [22:08] i can help [22:08] *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. this means what? [22:08] muramasa: The role of both dmix and pulseaudio is to allow multiple apps to access a single sound card at the same time... so you'd be encountering your issue every time any app used the sound if you set it to use neither. [22:08] I440r: you are welcome, i had the same problem a few years back when i was a noob [22:08] im not a noob :P [22:08] ramiel77 i can help you [22:08] what do you need [22:09] fde, I had neither of those installed, what else could be the problem? [22:09] ManBlue, means that either u didnt run ./configure or developers didnt include install option [22:09] brandon__, when i try loading the live CD, the progress bar loads and then shows a blank screen instead of a desktop/login screen [22:09] fde: Ah, that I did not know :-) Good to have that cleared out. Thanks for your assistance mate, been helpful :-) [22:09] kajo: ok... can you please pastebin the output from 'dpkg -L flashplugin-nonfree' and also the output from 'ls -l /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins' for me [22:09] be right back, starting over [22:09] !paste | kajo [22:09] kajo: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [22:10] ramiel77: what os do you have installed [22:11] is there any way of zooming a selection? like u drag out a zoom box or something [22:12] Hi!

[22:13] ireworks: did you add the diskmouter applet to the panel? [22:13] what cd is it? i386, amd64? [22:13] wirelessdreamer, of course not.

[22:14] usser:ah a vlc client. ok thx for the help [22:15] kajo: I set it up just like I always do in gentoo, added my user to /etc/group/admin: and admin is set correct with visudo, anyone have ideas? [22:15] StevenX: open terminal, ./setup.sh [22:15] StevenX: "sh setup.sh" [22:15] StevenX: sh ./setup.sh [22:15] StevenX: make it executable with "sudo chmod a+x setup.sh" and then "./setup.sh" [22:15] ramiel77; what proseser do you have [22:15] thanks [22:15] hey i have a question [22:15] fde, yes. I tried to uninstall flash and reinstall before I came with just "sudo aptitude remove", and then reinstall, which didn't work- and then tried removing and isntalling within the browser, which didn't work. [22:15] John____, a vnc client not vlc === Azarnast is now known as Malakiastar [22:15] usser:oh sorry! [22:15] when you put the cd in click demo and the click the boot help [22:16] can anyone help me i got a ? [22:16] dellpc, just talk, don't ask. [22:16] !ask | dellpc [22:16] dellpc: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:16] !ask | dellpc [22:16] kajo: That doesn't explain why there is _nothing_ in the xulrunner-addons/plugins dir ... please re-run that command with a terminal. [22:16] brandon__, i have the intel processor, not amd and the problem isn't processor but graphics because it loads the booting screen and the loading bar [22:16] Hey. I'm an experenced linux/bsd user. I'm wondering if compiling a custom kernel for a Hardy desktop system will increase performance, as opposed to using the stock generic kernel? I'm on intel 64 bit. [22:17] slalomsk8er, what was it you asked me to do again? [22:17] is it a dual core? [22:17] TheFearsomeFufu: sssh gentoo [22:17] TheFearsomeFufu, u wont notice much increase [22:17] i just got this computer and it has a linux operator and the internet was working and now everytime i go on the internet as soon as i click on a lick the internet closes [22:17] hey, how do i get a package (ndiswrapper-common) without installing, i need it for a laptop without a intenet connection [22:17] kajo: There is NO way those are actual results if you typed those commands within Applications > Accessories > Terminal . [22:17] TheFearsomeFufu, and yea ^^^ [22:17] brandon__, it's not dual core [22:17] icewolf: Gentoo? [22:17] fde, weird. I ran it again and it did something different. I just copied pasted, so I dunno what went wrong... I'll probably check my last command in a second. [22:17] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14901/ [22:17] ireworks: ad the diskmouter applet to the panel maybe ? [22:17] dellpc: you mean the browser? [22:17] did you guys update to the .17? [22:18] TheFearsomeFufu: build linux from scratch basically. Puts the power in your hands, not for the faint of heart etc. [22:18] slalomsk8er, how do I go about doing that? [22:18] ok then insert the cd, click demo, then click the help [22:18] fde, I accidentally had the ' before the command... [22:18] arcraft with wine [22:18] sorry [22:18] yes [22:18] ok I want to go through my whole collection of flac and add the replaygain info, I know about metflac --addreplaygain, but unfortunately this will still calculate for files that already have the tag, I need those files ignored to save time any ideas? [22:18] can i install starcraft with wine [22:18] icewolf: Nah, I want to use Ubuntu (It's for my girlfriends system, and she's new to linux). I'm just trying to get the best performance I can, so I thought compiling a new kernel would help [22:18] kajo: That's more like it... flash isn't there... which is expected based on what you've said... please type: dpkg -L flashplugin-nonfree [22:18] ireworks: hover your mouse over a empty spot on the panel right click and add search for diskmouter [22:18] neil_: probably, check the wine apps database [22:19] msg NickServ IDENTIFY hihihi [22:19] TheFearsomeFufu: oh then stop services that are not needed, like pcmcia if running etc. [22:19] aahha [22:19] lol [22:19] TheFearsomeFufu: disable IPV6 in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases etc etc. [22:19] brandon backslash msg [22:19] TheFearsomeFufu: trim da fatty acids :). [22:19] fde, I already typed that, and got the same result as last time- "Package 'flash..." does not contain any files (!)" [22:19] "\msg" [22:19] i did and it says i can, but i do not know how [22:19] brandon__, demo? i see "try ubuntu without any change to your computer", "install ubuntu", "check cd", "test memory" and "boot from hard disk" [22:20] icewolf: Alright, thanks. Is there a wiki page that has info on optimising for performance or anything? [22:20] TheFearsomeFufu: probably many, I just look for specific items. [22:20] kajo: sudo aptitude purge flashplugin-nonfree && sudo aptitude clean && sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree <-- copy and paste that please. [22:20] slalomsk8er, is the panel the desktop? I'm a complete linux noob, I apologise! [22:20] TheFearsomeFufu: look into the startup routines. runlevels etc. [22:20] in windows insert the cd and click demo [22:20] TheFearsomeFufu: http://tinyurl.com/5sz6uy [22:20] windows must be loaded [22:21] neil_: sudo apt-get install wine After wine is installed, download the setup program for startcraft, right clcik the exe and select run with Wine and wine will install it [22:21] ireworks: it is the bar on top of the screen [22:21] brandon__, why does windows have to been loaded to install ubuntu? [22:21] kajo: Then try restart Firefox, and try Youtube or something. [22:21] TheFearsomeFufu: also there are other variations of Ubuntu that give you more performance. Depending on your machine. Like Fluxbox etc. [22:21] i was wondering why everytime i get on the internet and i click on a link the whole page disappears [22:21] so you can first install the boot help driver [22:21] thanks [22:21] TheFearsomeFufu: Because KDE and Gnome consume like a fat man at an eating contest [22:22] firefox& [22:22] brandon__: Why does he need that? [22:22] wrong place, sorry [22:22] slalomsk8er, I'm presented with add to panel, properties, delete this panel, new panel, help and about panels, what do I click on? [22:22] ireworks: ah, yeah, I used fluxbox a few years ago...I'll look into it again, thanks a lot [22:22] fde, can you help me? [22:22] becouse it is not loading right [22:22] ramiel77: What are you attempting to do? [22:22] ireworks: add to panel [22:22] i currently have been running the LiveCD and been loving it...wanting to add a new HDD(IDE) to my system which is currently SATA [22:22] this cause any major conflicts in dual booting? [22:22] ireworks: you dont need the applet to mount a disk [22:23] Tand: no [22:23] fde, just install ubuntu on my desktop. I get the loading screen and then my monitor turns blank after i get the loading bar done loading [22:23] killeroid, is there an easier way? I just need to access my windows drive [22:23] insert the cd while in windows and then click demo [22:23] fde, I go to youtbe, and it doesn't even try to open the vid, just says, "hello, you either have javaScript turned off or..." [22:23] is it possible to make the bar in xfce4 transparent like its possible to in gnome? [22:23] Need help with a wireless card that was detected just fine in 7.10 but after upgrade to 8.04 it doesn't know the PCI card is there. [22:23] fooks - If no one can help you with that here I would definitely try #xubuntu [22:24] marion: did you run lspci? [22:24] ireworks: i know no easier way if you are used to use the mouse to do things [22:24] this is annoying. when I start up bittorrent, my ping times from any of my workstations and my server to google.com go from 30 ms upto 1-2 seconds! [22:24] emma, heh, xubuntu is non-responsive [22:24] icewolf: Yes. It shows up there. [22:24] fooks - since xfce is the default DE in xubuntu. [22:24] emma, yeah === _tscolin is now known as tscolin [22:24] marion: tried some modprobe commands etc? [22:24] fooks - I see. I have never been in there. [22:24] ramiel77: There are options to use different video settings during install, please try vesa... or boot with 'linux vesa' [22:24] hallo [22:24] luigi_B: hi [22:24] slalomsk8er, I have added the disc mounter applet, now what do I do? [22:24] ok I want to go through my whole collection of flac and add the replaygain info, I know about metflac --addreplaygain, but unfortunately this will still calculate for files that already have the tag, I need to ignore already replaygained files to save time any ideas? [22:24] where do i find the wine setup program for starcraft [22:24] fde, youtube does not work. [22:24] how do i copy a folder to: / [22:25] icewolf: No. I am not familiar with modprobe to try that alone. [22:25]  ireworks: do you see some disks? [22:25] ireworks : "sudo ntfs-3g /dev/partition /media/Windows" [22:25] kajo: can you type: dpkg -L flashplugin-nonfree again? [22:25] fde, I still have a dropdown bar above that says I have missing plugins [22:25] marion what kind of card? [22:25] ireworks: replace /dev/partition with the windows partition] [22:25] marion: what I would do is run lspci, look for the "model #" like ar456456656 or whatever, then type that model number into google and find out some details [22:25] for help for flash go to the website of flash [22:26] fde, the vesa thing doesn't work, why does ubuntu 8.04 not have the ubuntu 7.10 safe graphics option? [22:26] Slalomsk8er I am new, a little help.. [22:26] slalomsk8er, I'm running off the live disc and everything is taking a while to load. I'll write back in a minute [22:26] thats what I do, for example with my linksys rt61 card. [22:26] how do you copy a folder to / [22:26] ramiel77: It should. [22:26] fde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14903/ [22:26] jst33zy: It is TrendNet TEW-443PI [22:26] icewolf, marion what is he looking for in lspci ? [22:26] brandon__: You mean your home directory, or / ? [22:26] how do i install starcraft using wine [22:26] fde, i've tried vga=xxx with the appropriate numbers and it led to nothing better [22:26] anyone have issues with the -17 revision? for example audio drivers maybe? video playback issues [22:26] kajo: You didn't do the entire command I said then.... [22:26] sudo cp -r /source / [22:26] slalomsk8er, it's added, now I have 4 little pictures of discs on my panel [22:26] fde, I am certain I did. I'll check. [22:26] emma: well his wireless nic ain't working any more so I recommended looking up his module on the net to see how to make it work? [22:27] marion oo never configured one of those [22:27] i need to make runescape [22:27] work === huayra is now known as hubuntu [22:27] ramiel77: I didn't say to do 'vga=' :/ [22:27] find out which chipset that tend card uses. [22:27] icewolf: I was just curious, i was going to suggest lspci | grep somethingsuitable [22:27] Anyone know of a colocation datacenter gizmo in South Africa (johannesburg), that will set a box up for me? [22:27] like my linksys card doesn't have a "linksys" chipset per say [22:27] WHen I log in before my desktop background is set I see the brownish Ubuntu colour. I would like this to be black. I changed the Desktop colour to black in Appearence preferences but it's still brown when I log in initially. Can I change this? [22:27] neil_: ialready answered your question, i said you dont need a y special wine setup program for starcraft, just use the windows startcraft exe [22:27] so i need to copy rscache to / [22:27] fde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14904/ [22:27] Slalomsk8er what have I to write in the shell to know how much RAM is in my pc? [22:27] emma: grep is good :) [22:27] ireworks: left click and mount every one of them - search for your files and add a usbstick to save your stuff [22:28] marion looks like you can use ndiswrapper [22:28] do a google search for it [22:28] fde, sorry i misunderstood because i was looking at that as VESA options, what exactly do you want me to add to the boot parameters [22:28] how to i copy a folder to / [22:28] which logfile should I look in if, upon connecting and seeing a window, vnc sessions immediately close? [22:28] This linux stuff is so much fun [22:28] yes it is [22:28] brandon__ did you try? [22:28] icewolf lol [22:28] kajo: Can you please try each step before the &&'s and tell me any errrors? [22:28] brandon__: sudo cp -rv folder_name / [22:28] yes it says restirted acsess [22:29] brandon__ if so did you get any error? [22:29] slalomsk8er, I have tried to mount them and it says that it can't, operation is marked to be in use [22:29] ramiel77: just boot with 'linux vesa' as boot param [22:29] ok [22:29] yes i did get an error that said resterted acsess [22:29] ireworks: maybe it needs a bit time if used from the livecd [22:29] brandon_ use sudo [22:29] jst33zy: my first problem is that ubuntu doesn't recognize the hardware. I can see it in ispci but nothing else. [22:30] I has a somewhat severe problem. so everytime i now boot, I see odd errors in the boot process relating to my sata drive (they look like 'ata7.00: Exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen'). this is really really bad, since it means very little except the console will work since / gets mounted read-only - and I cannot edit fstab to mount it rw, because it is ro, and I can't dynamically unmount / for obvious reasons [22:30] fde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14907/ [22:30] ireworks: if the icon changes it is ready to use [22:30] and then it also will not mount /home, but that's a lesser problem [22:30] what do i type after that [22:30] marion thats fine, i had a Ralink RT73 usb card and lsusb didnt show me anything [22:30] so I'm stuck here in a mostly useless console wondering why ubuntu hsa this problem with my hard drive and always seems to've, when gentoo never complained [22:30] marion but it still worked if i downloaded the firmware [22:30] did I miss a driver install somewhere along the way? [22:30] i was wondering why everytime i get on the internet and i click on a link the page closes [22:31] using wubi when i installed ubuntu i set the partition size to 15gb (default) i know want to increase this size, how do i go about doing that? [22:31] marion so when u use ndiswrapper youll need to get windows drivers for it and install the .inf file [22:31] dellpc: i asked you, do you mean browser? [22:31] yes [22:31] kajo: System > Administration > Software Sources ... please ensure each of the top 4 checkboxes on the first tab are checked. [22:31] dellpc: what do you mean by page closes? do you get an error, or does the browser close? [22:31] i told you that [22:31] brandon__ where is your folder located at? [22:31] the browser closes [22:31] so, I think my first issue is - how the heck do I remount / rw? [22:31] slalomsk8er, it's still refusing the mount the hard drive [22:32] (even if there's a package I need to install, I obviously can't do that while / is ro!) [22:32] fde, there is no option 'software sources' under 'system->administration' [22:32] dellpc: try another page. does the browser crash when clickcing links on other pages too [22:32] ? [22:32] I have 4gigs of ram but sysmon is only reporting 2.7gigs minus onboard video memory. If I were to run the 64bit version would the 4gigs show up? [22:32] someone please please help me mount a network drive onto my computer [22:32] I can't get it working with samba [22:32] on all pages i can type in the page i want to go to but when i click on a link in the page it closes [22:32] /join #ubuntu-it [22:32] during the install, how do I tell Ubuntu _not_ to probe the PCMCIA devices ? [22:32] icewolf: 32-bit ubuntu supports 4g of ram [22:32] fde, i tried the linux vesa option and still get the same problem [22:32] jst33zy: I did install the drivers using ndiswrapper and it told me that the hardware was not present. [22:33] slalomsk8er, it says $logfile indicated unclean shutdown (0,o) Failed to mount 'dev/sda5': Operation not supported Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. [22:33] Killeroid: but its only showing 2.7gigs [22:33] what is the french channel ? [22:33] anyone? how do I remount / rw, while in it? [22:33] I am trying to use teamspeak. can someone tell me what i have to do to turn on my mic [22:33] ireworks: i don't now why - maybe it is time to use the terminal and enter the command killeroid gave you [22:33] kajo: Ok... do the same thing in "Synaptic Package Manager" entry in Settions > Repositories ... [22:33] Killeroid: not that I NEED it, well I will for my vmware sever. [22:33] hi [22:33] ireworks: it just means windos did not shutdown successfully, [22:33] hi brandon___ [22:33] ramiel77: sorry [22:33] anybody get an extended desktop with external monitor? mine always clones. [22:34] fde, it's alright [22:34] kajo: Same menu. [22:34] any ideas [22:34] ok I want to go through my whole collection of flac and add the replaygain info, I know about metflac --addreplaygain, but unfortunately this will still calculate for files that already have the tag, I need to ignore already replaygained files to save time any ideas? [22:34] killeroid, that's the problem, windows wont boot at all so I'm trying to salvage my files [22:34] c'est ou le chan francais ? [22:34] obf213: what if you use xrandr ? [22:34] dellpc: Did you try surfing after disabling all your addons? [22:34] how do i copy to / [22:34] fde, every box is checked under 'software sources' on the 'ubuntu software' tab. [22:34] Killeroid: can you take over ireworks i need to fix my grub and sudo ^^ [22:34] what are addons? i just got this computer [22:34] brandon___ where is the folder your trying to copy at? [22:34] slalomsk8er, sorry to be a burden haha! [22:34] can anyone help me with the ubuntu 8.04 blank screen problem? [22:35] kajo: Did it prompt you to refresh anything? [22:35] dellpc: open up firefox, go to the tools menu, click add-ons. disable everything there, restart firefox and try surfing [22:35] ok ty [22:35] mac3k desktop [22:35] will try and be back if it does not work [22:35] my HH 8.04 was updating some packages and when installing light goes off and my pc down in the process ... when re started my pc some programs like firefox and Kagregator cant run ... do i have to reinstall HH ?? or is there any command form terminal to fix this ?? thks [22:35] fde, no- they were all already checked. Would you like to see the original output from the first time I ran the clean/purge/install code you gave me? Maybe that might help? [22:35] icewolf: ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Windows -o force [22:35] ireworks: np i just don't have much time as work starts soon enough ;) [22:36] phirestalker: you can script that. Just use metaflac --show-tag and add the replaygain info conditionally. [22:36] sudo cp -r /home/brandon/desktop/file_name / [22:36] Killeroid: ? [22:36] crimsun: I was afraid of that lol [22:36] kajo: Sure... there is no way you can't find flashplugin-nonfree though if multiverse is enabled. [22:36] hey, fde, check this out- I exited, and then clicked 'reload', and I got this error box message- The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct." [22:36] polz, whats xrandr [22:36] brandon___ assuming your using the terminal [22:36] polz, i just use "Screen Resolution" [22:36] irewolf: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Windows -o force [22:36] what if it is a folder [22:36] kajo: Wow... you're on the same machine right now right? [22:37] no .exe on ubuntu ? [22:37] icewolf: sorry, i meant irewolf [22:37] what if i need to copy a folder [22:37] how can I recognize a program ? [22:37] fde, yes. [22:37] bruno_: sure... via mono or wine [22:37] can someone tell me how to get my mic working? [22:37] Killeroid: fricken piss I was getting paranoid for a moment. [22:37] fde, http://paste.ubuntu.com/14908/ [22:37] I want to be able to open xchat when I click on an irc link on firefox [22:37] ok, since no one has any useful advice for me, I have a general question. why does ubuntu by default make filesystems mount read-only on error, if X and everything else utterly fails when / is read-only? [22:37] obf213: xrandr is both an X extension and a program to use it [22:37] ireworks: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Windows -o force [22:37] brandon___: are you using the terminal? [22:37] brandoon___ the -r or -R switch will copy within the folder [22:37] obf213: it's a command-line program, not very user-friendly, but it might work for you [22:38] hey under my tools there is nothing about addons [22:38] I mean, wouldn't it make sense to at least mount /tmp in ram, so you could do *something*? livecds manage just fine without a writable disk [22:38] obf213: you can also try grandr, maybe it'll work for you (it didn't work for me, but mileage may vary) [22:38] BAH! When I try to connect to an ubuntu vnc server, I get a pink background screen for a second before it disappears. In the log appears, "transport endpoint is not connected" [22:38] i can if i need [22:38] hi i have a question guys i have ubuntu installed can i install windows now or do i need to partion hardrive [22:38] kajo: Ok... in the same place as before... directly below, it lets you choose a different mirror... "Download from:" ... click here and pick Other mirror... and have it pick best one. [22:38] dellpc: under tools, addons is the third item on the dropdown menu [22:39] gwern: feel free to propose it via brainstorm/blueprint [22:39] ireworks: did it work for you? [22:39] kajo: Then try searching here for 'flashplugin' install it and if it doesn't work then, we're going to cheat. [22:39] but when i first tryed i just coppied and it said restircted acsess [22:39] I have a question, would anyone happen to know the reason Webmin will not properly install things via apt-get? it uses things like --force -y I think, and it just kinda... hangs forever [22:39] hi i have a question guys i have ubuntu installed can i install windows now or do i need to partion hardrive [22:39] crimsun: I suppose I'll do that... if I get my system working again [22:39] n95-2, try vw ware [22:39] using wubi when i installed ubuntu i set the partition size to 15gb (default) i know want to increase this size, how do i go about doing that? [22:40] you mean wmvare [22:40] n95-2: you probably don't want to install windows. odds are it'll blow away your ubuntu install. windows is mean that way [22:40] Xsploit: sudo aptitude install gparted [22:40] n95-2, yep [22:40] n95-2: vmware [22:40] killeroi [22:40] n95-2, you can just partition the drive and install windows to the new partition if you're looking to dual boot [22:40] d, I'm running off a livecd, everything is taking forever! [22:40] how do i log in as root [22:40] bbthebmaniselko: sudo [22:40] my HH 8.04 was updating some packages and when installing light goes off and my pc down in the process ... when re started my pc some programs like firefox and Kagregator cant run ... do i have to reinstall HH ?? or is there any command form terminal to fix this ?? thks [22:40] bbthebmaniselko: sudo su - [22:41] jackol: NO! [22:41] oh well. I suppose I'd better try another reboot. [22:41] fde: ;) [22:41] BAH! When I try to connect to an ubuntu vnc server, I get a pink background screen for a second before it disappears. In the log appears, "transport endpoint is not connected" [22:41] fde, I got the same errorbox when I reloaded. [22:41] bbthebmaniselko: don't... use sudo for root stuff [22:41] will that stay after i close termanil [22:41] how can i install windowsxp on wmare [22:41] k that would be extensions [22:41] is there any ttutorial [22:41] jackol: and I think sudo -i or sudo -s is the preferred way.. if you have to do that [22:41] ireworks: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda5 /media/Windows -o force [22:42] ireworks: run that command, it should mount the windows disk [22:42] upgraded to hardy heron and can't get compiz to work with ati radeon xpress 200 card. xorg.conf says I am using flgrx driver but compiz-check script says mesa any ideas?

[23:32] that means that the module is installed but wireless is not working [23:32] How do I check the system log? [23:32] FrozenInferno: System > Administration > Logs [23:33] Uhh... System Log [23:33] kajo: Crazy that everything in that file basically amounts to those 3 lines huh? [23:34] <[AoS]Bluesib> does xubuntu format the harddrive? [23:34] FrozenInferno: dmesg [23:34] usser, no dice [23:34] FrozenInferno: run the command "dmesg" in terminal, it will display the system log [23:35] bjb1959, when u restart it does it run at correct resolution or does it launch in "failsafe X" [23:35] Killeroid: all I get is a bunch of wlan errors. I'm going to disable wireless since I'm wired and see what i get. [23:35] vrkhans .: I just point you to the document I don´t have wireless so I can not help you [23:35] how do i get the apple thing in the bottom instead of the panel [23:35] [AoS]Bluesib : yes [23:36] fde, I do not completely understand. when you say, 'then copy *these* into a file called 'sources.list' in your home directory", I don't know what you mean by these. I also don't know what 'chmod 644 file' would do. But ultimately, I don't understand what that all does. :\ [23:36] FrozenInferno: the nautilus error you are getting is related to gvfs. gvfs is responsible for computer:/// , smb:/// and others [23:36] usser, sorry I got a white screen after I tried compiz --replace and had to ctrl-alt-backspace. what did you say? [23:36] i am trying to duel head (normal multihead) but my bios freezes when i connect the second video card is it ubuntu, can anyone help me? [23:36] Killeroid: so what do i do? [23:37] bjb1959, when u restart it does it run at correct resolution or does it launch in "failsafe X" [23:37] Killeroid: I'm not getting any error messages related to my problem. [23:37] kajo: The lines in the paste I gave you. chmod modifies the permissions on the file, because it has to be a certain way for apt to honor it. [23:37] usser, I am at correct res [23:37] alguna niña guapa??? [23:37] yojesus whats the apple thing? [23:37] any beauty girl????????????' [23:37] bjb1959, and glxinfo | grep direct says No? [23:37] what web cam application in linux [23:37] raulh, if your system is dying in post, I don't think you can pin it on ubuntu. [23:38] its not dead.. [23:38] FrozenInferno: I am sorry but i have no idea what to do, my only suggestion is to restart gnome(x), basically log out and in again, that will also restart gvfs and hopefull fix the problem [23:38] it just it worked with windows [23:38] usser, correct [23:38] and i reformated to full ubuntu [23:38] and it wont let me dual head [23:38] bjb1959, bah im at a loss [23:38] raulh, so it it not dying in bios, but boot? [23:38] Killeroid: I have to restart because of updates anyway. I'll be back to report what happens. [23:38] yes [23:39] FrozenInferno: ok, i will be here when you get back [23:39] ahh, yes. then it is ubuntu, 1 video card in linux is scary enough, let alone 2 [23:39] usser, well thanks anyway I guess it's just another reason to stick with nvidia at this point [23:39] dang.. thanks. [23:40] where Firefox 3 keep plugins?I checked /usr/lib/mozilla and found just two but if I go to the about:plugins I see plugins are installed where are they? [23:41] zvacet: been wondering about that too, i asked in the firefox channel on the mozilla server and everyone ignored me [23:42] ~/.mozilla/firefox/foo.default/plugins/ [23:42] Killeroid : good news [23:42] fde, I did it (though instead of making the file in my home directory, I just did "sudo nano sources.list", pasted it there, and saved it, and then did sudo chmod 644 /etc/apt/sources.list) [23:43] Killeroid: zvacet it actually depends on the build so of course the firefox channel will ignore you if you ask there it's usually in ~ or in usr/lib/firefox/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [23:43] fde, that all of that equalled those three lines is insane. [23:43] xD [23:43] zvacet: I think most of them are now in xulrunner-addons [23:43] Hey guys installed Fluxbuntu, i know my user/pass to be correct since its so simple. But every time i enter it, it just clears the form and asks for it again [23:43] kitche: i specifically told them i was on linux(ubuntu hardy heron0 [23:43] fde, ran sudo aptitude update just now, and it did quite a bit of loading. [23:43] kajo: ok... that should be it... you actually skipped my next two commands, but I thought it'd be easier that way.... [23:44] hi all, how can i build planes in open TTD ? [23:44] Killeroid: how would they know where ubuntu keeps the plugin path though? [23:44] Killeroid: take a look in /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons I think alot are there now [23:44] kajo: No more errors though? [23:44] cannot build a single plane somehow. [23:44] well, let's see. [23:44] Killeroid: I restarted and it gave me the same error. Disabled compiz, same error. [23:44] jc___ : thx [23:44] kajo: It would have updated the security repo, which was disabled... and probably this mirror never actually worked. [23:44] fde, no more erros, thank you infinitely. [23:44] mojo, did u build airports? [23:44] usser, yes i did. [23:45] 2 airports, usser [23:45] zvacet: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [23:45] mojo, at least thats what unlocks planes in regular ttd, perhaps the year, it may be to early for planes [23:45] kajo: You're very welcome, I only apologize for you having to go through this :( [23:45] usser, ah... that could be. [23:45] Hey guys installed Fluxbuntu, i know my user/pass to be correct since its so simple. But every time i enter it, it just clears the form and asks for it again. Any idea as to why? [23:45] jc__: thanks, found almost all the plugins there [23:46] legend2440 : like I said just two of them but I get answer it is xulrunner-addons [23:46] FrozenInferno: sorry that didnt help, ask the question again and see if anyone else can help you [23:46] fde: A true ubuntu patriot, eh? Do you know what went wrong with my sources list to cause the mayhem, or *why* something went wrong with it? [23:46] kajo: For what it's worth, flashplugin-nonfree would just be a simple install away now... as is over 24,000 other pieces of software, including games and any tool you could possibly need... [23:46] kajo: Without a functional package management system, you might as well be using Windows :P [23:46] usser, but could not planes in my last game until 1980. could not click on the build planes button. why? [23:46] IGORV: try the fluxubuntu channel but sounds like a pam issue [23:47] Anyone know how to fix a nautilus error preventing me from viewing Computer? [23:47] kajo: I have seen the issue with imbrandon's mirror before... it is something wrong with that. [23:47] thanks kitche [23:47] kajo: However, I had asked you to switch mirrors, and the issue never went away. [23:47] fde, I wasn't using his mirror before, though, I only switched to that when it tried to select the optimal server. [23:47] yeah!!! nexuiz is awseome [23:47] awesome [23:48] anyone know what to do when recongfiguring xserver and it quits with this error xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080526154428 [23:48] can linux read a ntfs formated partition? because my windows is dead and i got important files i need [23:48] raulh, yes [23:48] FrozenInferno: bug has been reported but no fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/233889 [23:48] Launchpad bug 233889 in nautilus "nautilus cannot handle" [Low,Incomplete] [23:48] mojo, nope regular TTD works without airports and im in 1930 [23:49] mojo, dunno what might be the problem [23:49] is there something that allows me to block flash content? [23:49] can anyone help me get online with my cellphone , its done via usb , i did installed kppp , when i try to detect it ... wont work [23:49] mojo, planes are for wusses anyway, easy way to win lol [23:50] Piece of poo. Guess I'll wait for an update. Thanks legend2440 [23:50] kajo: are you in holland by chance? [23:50] raulh: Find out what partition it is with "sudo fdisk -l", and then try mounting it with something like: "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/hda1" where you replace hda1 with your ntfs partition. Also, the /media/hda1 directory (whichever you want) must exist first. [23:50] fde, nope, I'm in texas. [23:51] i know everything lies down in dmesg [23:51] kajo: Ok, then it's definitely a more wide spread issue. [23:51] cant get it to work [23:51] usser, wusses? [23:52] is there some kind of desktop search for ubuntu? [23:52] mojo, jk, planes are boring... the whole point of the game is building railroads === soll is now known as mous [23:52] hello [23:52] Anyone here running 64bit hardy? [23:52] !anyone [23:52] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[23:53] zaiden, i don't have that problem so maybe its your soundcard? [23:54] go into your sound options? and peek around [23:54] Zaiden: make sure you're using the -17- kernel from hardy-proposed. [23:54] anyone here use thunderbird? [23:54] I know it's PulseAudio, forgot to add that. [23:54] kitche: what is it called? [23:54] Please, help me [23:54] i'm trying to upgrade my 7.04 to 8.04 w/ the liveCD -> gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" and it doesn't do anything [23:54] try text based install [23:54] wtf does segment fault mean?
