[00:00] ^ [00:00] ok... [00:00] ty for ur help [00:00] What's the command at terminal to find out my ip address (internal on lan) ? [00:00] !proposed [00:00] Factoid proposed not found [00:00] afallenhope: i chose maintainers version [00:00] whats a good game emulator for ubuntu? [00:00] vrkhans: So how far did you get? Did you figure out whether to use Madwifi or ndiswrapper for your card? [00:00] Scunizi, "ifconfig" [00:00] afallenhope: nothing it's for grub most likely [00:01] AaronH: thanks. [00:01] np [00:01] okays.. well I changed a few things.. like.. commented out one partition.. and on top of tha tchangd the interval and used colours.. i'm sure I can change it all back [00:01] ty ty [00:01] raulh, what do you mean by "game emulator"? Do you want to emulate a particural console, or do you want to run Windows games? [00:01] Would the "Mark all Upgrades" option in the synaptic package manager be a good or bad idea? [00:01] * xenos pokes [00:01] windows games [00:01] To the chap who wanted to know how I got on installing encrypted ubuntu partition (sorry forgot name): Fraid I can't get past the first hurdle. Whatever drivers are on the alternative CD apparently don't match the ones on the Live CD. Booting with my usual options (noapic, acpi=off) gives an error message about pnpbios. Adding pnpbios=off gets further, but then the graphics go wild and just get a load of crazy lines squiggling across the scree [00:01] n. [00:02] Zaiden: Good... unless you want to wait for packages to install, then go to a seperate tool to update the rest... [00:02] Oh - if anyone has an answer for the alternative CD problem, that question wasn't just directed at the guy I mentioned :) [00:02] Oh hey, there's an upgrade for the generic thing [00:03] ok 1 last question how can i install these library's [00:03] libc6 >= 2.2.4-4, xlibmesa3 or libgl1, python >= 2.3, python-gtk2 >= 2.6, python-glade2, wget (python 2.4 and python2.4-dbus strongly recommended) [00:03] brb reboot yay! new kernel (N) [00:04] I can build an ubuntu kernel from source, but I can't figure out how to properly edit the .config kernel options and still be able to use the magic ubuntu/debian scripts to updateconfigs and then build the kernel [00:04] help? :) [00:04] Swish: why are you editting .config by hand? [00:05] Hello; has anyone found a good HowTo for setting up ethernet connecting sharing between two Ubuntu 8.04 machines? I have two network cards in one computer (which I want to be a NAT gateway).. eth0 -> internet, and eth1 will share eth0 to my laptop. But how? [00:05] kitche, it seems the debian/config/i386/config file is in some different format than the .config file generated by xconfig or makeconfig [00:05] allquixtocix buy a ethernet port 0_o? [00:06] raulh, it's not necessary to _buy_ anything.. I'm attempting to use my Ubuntu box (with two ethernet cards) to perform the same functionality as a hardware ethernet switch. [00:06] allquixotic, I know it can be done with iptables [00:06] I can generate a .config on my own using xconfig or makeconfig, but I don't understand how to use those .config file options in the normal Hardy kernel-build process [00:07] allquixotic, firestarter is a GUI for configuring iptables and I think it is able to set up connection sharing for you [00:08] anyone know a linux game thats online? not flash games? [00:08] ola [00:08] como este [00:08] raulh: Urban terror = quake 3 mod [00:08] como son usted mi amigo [00:08] !es | harpreet [00:08] harpreet: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

[00:09] kitche, I'm having the exact same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=227835 [00:09] harpreet, you must download the ubuntu restricted extras package for that. [00:09] * Swish reads more on that thread [00:09] raulh: it's supported. [00:09] how can i install it? [00:09] alan_m how do i do that [00:10] hello. i need help with sound. running heron and for the last few weeks sometimes Flash videos are silent in Firefox, I can't play MP3s (I've tried in Amarok, in RhythmPlayer, but it works with mpg321) and I don't have any sound in AVIs. I've tried keyword searching but I only get old results (from 2005-07). can anyone help? [00:10] because ubuntu isnt reading it right. [00:10] raulh: in fact, when it was new, it was one of the best supported cards on the market [00:10] harpreet, you can go to add/remove under applications..or try searching for it through synaptic [00:10] anacaona: install libflashsupport, or wait for us to backport alsa-lib, alsa-plugins, and flashplugin-nonfree [00:10] too bad nobody answered that guy's question on the forum :) [00:10] polz: how do i install it on ubuntu [00:10] AaronH: Using firestarter to set up the sharing was remarkably easy; thanks! [00:11] AaronH: Thank goodness for small favors. :-) [00:11] yw :) [00:11] raulh: how does the problem manifest itself ? [00:11] hello, where is the crontab generated by kcron stored? [00:11] its not read [00:11] its usuing one of the generic readers [00:11] Whats least demanding linux distro out there, I have a weak computer that is in need of an OS. [00:11] can anyone help me with a failing fstab conf? [00:12] raulh: what do you mean by "not read" ? [00:12] usually, graphics cards are _written_ to [00:12] IGORV: what computer is it? [00:13] its using a generic reader. the card is not using its full potentioal [00:13] so opengl [00:13] and direct x [00:13] cannot be used [00:13] raulh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [00:13] help*my*keyboard*settings*are*mwessed*uop*cant*tyoe32 [00:13] raulh: I don't think directx is supported under linux [00:14] raulh, directX is supported in wine [00:14] raulh: have you installed libgl1-mesa-dri or whatever that lib is called ? [00:14] IGORV: If you are interested in a flavor of Ubuntu, try Fluxbuntu for a weak computer. [00:14] type [00:14] i asked earlier and nobody would tell me how to install librearys [00:14] g=fg===== [00:14] AaronH: but it's not going to work all that well on a G200 [00:14] how can i know what is wrong with this fstab line: #UUID=6c7278c4-f9a9-4a40-b478-028aa5856bdc /media/Media ext3 defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [00:14] true [00:14] even a G400 had pretty poor 3D performance [00:15] How do I uninstall oss completely? I already uninstalled pulseaudio but the option of OSS remains in the audio options. Also I have a problem with a game not wanting to start the sound because of comflicts between OSS/ALSA :S? I cant see any installed oss package. [00:15] magnus_: Why don't you first pastebin your fstab file? Maybe someone can help you then. [00:15] Steve-cal: its only that one line that doesnt work :( [00:15] ghelp [00:15] Whats least demanding linux distro out there, I have a weak computer that is in need of an OS. It came originally with W98 and has intel inside celeron processor, so it's a weakling. [00:16] j=keyboars= [00:16] magnus_: And what are the symptoms/errors you get? [00:16] magnus_: it seems to be commented out.. [00:16] messed*up]] [00:16] igoRV im on a hp vectra with a p3 ubuntu will run well on that [00:16] magnus_: also, why do you have an umask for an ext3 filesystem? [00:16] clicking on my date and time crashes the top gnome panel [00:16] IGORV, Xubuntu is suppost to be light on resources [00:16] Steve-cal: I cant mount the drive even as root. When commented out i can mount it [00:17] suppose* [00:17] Chousuke: yea i put the # there now its not supposed to be there [00:17] Fluxbuntu proved to eat it alive, so doubt Xubuntu will be good [00:17] IGORV: xubuntu with openbox do fine here on 500mh 256ram [00:17] Anyone try Arch or DSL? [00:17] Industrial: oss is part of the kernel and Alsa has a aoss option so your kind of stuck with it [00:17] Chousuke: whats wrong with my umask? :) [00:17] m13, i have 64m ram [00:17] kitche: crap :P [00:17] magnus_: you don't need one for ext3. ext3 supports unix permissions [00:17] magnus_: How are you trying to mount it as root? "sudo mount -a" or something? What exactly is your command syntax? [00:17] magnus_, ext3 doesnt support umask or gid for that matter [00:17] IGORV: then go for puppylinux [00:18] magnus_, thats why it complains [00:18] Puppylinux is live only i thought. [00:18] Industrial since a lot of software still uses oss [00:18] raulh: anyway, the driver you want to use is called mga, it's contained in the packet xserver-xorg-video-mga [00:18] Steve-cal: sudo mount /dev/sdb2 [00:18] raulh: refer to man mga for more info [00:18] IGORV: puppy or dsl [00:18] * polz is going to sleep now [00:18] kitche: well if it helps any the game is Stepmania, I just compiled it for x64 and the error I get when launching it is Couldn't load driver OSS: RageSoundDriver_OSS: ALSA detected. ALSA OSS emulation is buggy; use ALSA natively. [00:18] Steve-cal: but it should be mounted on startup since i have default options [00:18] so good night, everyone [00:18] polz how do i install that packet [00:18] how do i change my pannel so it would like the one that apple has [00:18] k night [00:18] thnx [00:18] kitche: game works fine tho, just no sound ... [00:18] usser: TY m8 [00:18] How do I know that my computer is safe from *Hackers* ?

[00:19] IGORV: u install it from live cd [00:19] Axe that, it crashes all the gnome panels [00:19] magnus_: you'll probably need to chmod or chown the mountpoint, as I think by default it's owned by root. [00:19] Chousuke: will try that surely it will work now thx guys [00:20] magnus_, np if u want it to be mounted as specific user user default options mount it and sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /media/Media [00:20] Industrial: sounds like a game that is not programmed for aoss correctly I believe there is oss packages in the repo but not sure [00:20] oss-compat but didnt hel [00:20] p [00:20] magnus_, *use default options [00:20] magnus_: I believe you need to give it a mount point when you do it manually: "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/sdb2" or similar (and sdb2? did you type that right?) [00:20] does anyone know a good ubuntu themes site for darker things? [00:20] Anyone else having date applet problems or know what could be causing it?

[00:20] thank you usser [00:21] m13: Does puppy partition itself, or do i have to have everything setup in FAT etc for it to actually install [00:21] Chousuke: Yes, but he has it commented out right now I thought.

[00:23] !upgrade | Slade^^ [00:23] Slade^^: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:23] should someone upgrade that !server command to say the current lts is 8.04 ? :) [00:23] IGORV: check on their site for info [00:23] usser: yea ive fixed fstab now so it should work.. have to reboot i guess..

[00:26] obf213, that has nothing to do with keyboard [00:26] obf go to system > prefrences > keyboard [00:26] harpreet: maybe I misunderstood you. You oughta explain exactly what you did [00:26] esotericisms, so setup a cronjob to run every two minutes rsync is smart enough not to upload the whole thing [00:26] the layout tab [00:26] usser: whoami is my name right? :) [00:26] make sure its correct [00:26] bazhabg.sudodpkgreconfigurerequirespassword] [00:27] magnus_, u can just copy/paste the command [00:27] what.....

[00:27] can someone help me with samba, I am trying to connect to my brothers computer (windows vista) and its asking for a username and password, the thing is he doesn't have a username and password. [00:27] danbhfive i am trying to make my java work for mozilla, applet does not load for yahoo games, i did everything, even installed java restricted packages under package manager still no luck [00:27] obf213, create a new user and see if the problem persists; also try booting from the live cd as it may be a hardware issue [00:27] well... what seems to be exacly wrong obf?

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. [00:28] magnus_, do ls -l /media/Media what does it say? [00:29] harpreet: unfortunately, you still arent saying what you did. You are still speaking generally. Maybe I'm just ignorant, because I have never heard of a java restricted package. There is icedtea, and sun-java, but what did you do? [00:29] mhz128, well, go to add/remove and type VM and see... [00:29] mhz128, VirtualBox is pretty easy to setup [00:29] it.was,.working.until.i,tried.to,change.nmonitor,.settings [00:29] cool [00:29] danbhfive, i think what he means is Sun java 6 [00:29] obf213, sounds bad; create a new user or boot from live cd [00:29] try to go back to default monitor settings [00:29] usser: i am the owner of Media now it say...

[00:38] obf214, you logged in as ttt then changed your nick to obf214; that requires /nick newnick [00:38] somebody acknowledge i exist [00:38] zelrikriando, so make it default ;) [00:38] usser, ...how ? :) [00:39] no,i,used,gui,option` === Xorothal is now known as abusingthethirty [00:39] zelrikriando, right click on the gif file select open with gthumb === abusingthethirty is now known as Xorothal [00:39] keys,are,shifted,one,over,vasically,but,some,keys,like,enter,are,missing [00:40] obf214, try booting from livecd (as I suggested earlier); typing here wont fix things magically. [00:40] <[GUN]Wires> hey [00:40] <[GUN]Wires> im trying to use a website that has a part that requires the windows media player plugin [00:40] usser, that doesnt make is default [00:40] <[GUN]Wires> but I can't install due to not having windows [00:40] <[GUN]Wires> any idea? [00:40] zelrikriando: open the gif then save it in Gimp's format.. now go up to Filters/Animation/playback.. it will open a window that you can toggel through the layers "playing" back the gif. Use the spacebar to toggle [00:40] zelrikriando, actually my bad right click->properties -> open with lets u select default for a certain type of file [00:40] I have ubuntu running on my desktop and laptop with access to wireless network. How do I share my external drive connected to my desktop? [00:41] [GUN]Wires: the totem plugin for mozilla plays wmv videos [00:41] and it is installed by defualt [00:41] g= [00:41] <[GUN]Wires> hmm [00:41] Ectomorph try a ftp?server on your own computer local? [00:41] <[GUN]Wires> it says I need a plugin for the online player on xmradio.com though [00:41] zelrikriando: it will do the same without saving to gimps format.. just load the gif and then follow the instructions. [00:42] ok === CaptainPanda is now known as CaptainPanda|afk [00:42] [GUN]Wires, or get rid of totem altogether and sudo apt-get install gnome-mplayer mozilla-mplayer [00:42] <[GUN]Wires> k how do i delete totem? [00:42] obf214, also if there is no enter key you could not enter your typing in here-->try booting from live cd, and then borrow a kb from someone as it sounds like a hardware issue [00:42] i did try selecting the share option (right click on drive) but it tells me i need to login as root [00:42] [GUN]Wires, oh that may be harder looks like they use some windows specific plugin [00:42] then login D: [00:42] thanks Scunizi [00:42] it should prompt you with a password request [00:42] <[GUN]Wires> mozilla-mplayer? [00:42] I shouldn't have to use root to edit anything in /home// right? [00:43] hi [00:43] <[GUN]Wires> ive got wine though [00:43] zelrikriando: no problem.. :) [00:43] no pw for root [00:43] that I know off [00:43] no, the password you used on install. [00:43] its,xorg.conf. [00:43] you NEED a password ubuntu wont let you install without one [00:43] [GUN]Wires, im afraid wine is not a solution for this type of problem, why do u want to pay for internet radio anyway? [00:43] i have a screenlet (py script) that will display the percentage of used cpu. Now, this has stopped working, for it displays 99% all the time while the system monitor displays the real usage... What can be wrong? [00:43] [GUN]Wires, theres plenty of free stations on the net [00:44] oh forget it [00:44] <[GUN]Wires> it's not just internet radio [00:44] tried that [00:44] its back again [00:44] <[GUN]Wires> I use it in my car and in my home as well [00:44] [GUN]Wires, oh i see [00:44] well, not anymore lol [00:44] <[GUN]Wires> can you think of an online radio station that doesnt require that plugin? [00:44] using wubi when i installed ubuntu i set the partition size to 15gb (default) i now want to increase this size, how do i go about doing that? [00:44] can someone help me use rsync [00:44] whats rsync navets? [00:44] [GUN]Wires, shoutcast.com [00:44] How can I make it so I don't have to use root to edit anything in my /home/username file? [00:45] [GUN]Wires, over 100000 radiostations [00:45] [GUN]Wires, that dont require proprietary plugins [00:45] i am getting the error skipping directory [00:45] <[GUN]Wires> ty [00:45] poseidon, you don't want that [00:45] you could make a script to do it [00:45] maybe.... [00:45] woli, why not? [00:45] or does anyone know of a specific channel for ubuntu wubi support? [00:45] because it unsecure... somebody told me [00:46] I have a directory in which I want to save my text/image/model/source files [00:46] Is anyone in here familiar with IPSec? [00:46] I don't want to have to run every single application as root in order to do that [00:46] I'm looking for anyone with "hung" shutdown experience. My upgrade hangs on shutdown but my fresh install (separate partition) does fine. [00:46] poseidon, you just have to set the permissions to read and write [00:47] poseidon: everything in your home directory should be owned by you [00:47] unless you created it as root (whicy you should never do) [00:47] e [00:47] q [00:47] XD [00:47] poseidon, you can use the 'sudo chown' command [00:48] loco please stop [00:48] let me see how to use it because i forgo [00:48] t [00:48] hA [00:48] hey.. I have three kernels for some reason [00:48] <[GUN]Wires> what's the command and option again for extraxting tar.gz files? [00:48] it works now! thank u so much!!!!! WOOT WOOT [00:48] afallenhope: sounds like you've had a couple of upgrades. [00:48] [GUN]Wires: tar -zxvf tarball.tar.gz [00:48] [GUN]Wires, tar -xvf filename [00:48] poseidon, use this: sudo chown -R : /directory/ [00:49] I have the following in my "/lib/modules" 2.6.24-12-generic 2.6.24-16-generic 2.6.24-17-generic 2.6.24.3 in in my grub I show the first three. how do I remove the last two? [00:49] does rsync make a mirror of one server to another? [00:49] <[GUN]Wires> what's the j do? [00:49] thanks [00:50] navetz: it backs up chosen items from one machine to another. [00:50] [GUN]Wires: - is for bzip files [00:50] <[GUN]Wires> bzip? [00:50] hola === turbo is now known as turbolover === Varka_ is now known as Varka [00:50] Scunizi: what if some are already backed up? [00:50] [GUN]Wires: - .bz2 [00:50] !es > ivanskunk [00:50] !spanish [00:50] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [00:50] afallenhope: use synaptic and search for the kernels.. find the ones you want to get rid of and tag them then "apply" [00:50] <[GUN]Wires> ok [00:50] ok sorry [00:51] no problem lol [00:51] <[GUN]Wires> so .xvf for tar.gz? [00:51] navetz: it will backup only what's changed. [00:51] yeyeah thanks [00:51] i talk spanish too :) [00:51] posiedon, could you achieve your goal? [00:51] Scunizi: can you help me fix my bug [00:51] navetz: I've never used rsync.. just read a lot about it. if the bug is with that.. sorry no. [00:51] [GUN]Wires: no, tar zxvf xvf for .tar zxvf for tar.gz iirc [00:52] could somebody explain me how does the indexing service work? [00:52] Scunizi: rsync user@user.homelinux.com:www/laptop /var/www is my command [00:52] Scunizi: oh ok [00:52] <[GUN]Wires> thank you [00:52] its been running for decades and can't find a single folder [00:52] [GUN]Wires: welcome [00:53] whats up with f-spot importing thousands of photos and making duplicates? i just want something to browse photos with etc. . . [00:53] [GUN]Wires, accidently tar -xvf does work for tar.gz files [00:54] kde4 = unstable [00:54] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> Does anyone know why I would get this error using the make command in the latest Ubuntu? http://pastebin.com/m69dbed37 [00:54] Chrysalis: is only makes duplicates to put in it's designated directory when you leave that option on [00:54] Scunizi: whats the point? i mean why does it do it [00:55] * usser kde4=awesome [00:56] Chrysalis: alot of times you're importing from a camera or cd.. you don't want to edit a file on the camera's flash and can't on a cd.. best I can come up with. [00:56] hello [00:56] can someone plesae help me [00:56] can someone please explain to me how to install something that ends with .run? [00:57] Chrysalis: it also creates it's own database of the photos .. i guess it's easier to do if they're all in one primary directory. It also takes the imported photos and puts them into directories under the primary by year, month & date.. [00:57] Flagtor, chmod a+x filename.run && ./filename.run [00:57] kkiuuyt [00:58] hey guys [00:58] Scunizi: good you mention the year/month thing too, thats even more retarded [00:58] <[GUN]Wires> ive extracted the x multimedia system to use shoutcast.org [00:58] <[GUN]Wires> I configured it fine [00:59] <[GUN]Wires> but the make and make install commands arent working [00:59] Flagtor ... usually "sh ", or "./" on the comand line, or there might be some Ubuntu specific way I don't know about. [00:59] Scunizi: ffs, if you have photos they are already organized on your hd, who puts all photos in a single directory needing a program to sort them for you [00:59] ok [00:59] [GUN]Wires, no dont. why? [00:59] ill try that [00:59] [GUN]Wires, rhytmbox should play it just fine [01:00] <[GUN]Wires> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [01:00] The latest kernel update killed wireless for me, anyone else? [01:00] [GUN]Wires, xmms is just way to old, if u want u can have something like it by entering sudo apt-get install audacious on the terminal [01:00] Chrysalis: depends on your point of view.. easier to find things by date if you remember.. you can also tag photos on import or after. that makes it easier to view a select group of pics. For other viewing programs try Mapivi & gthumb [01:00] [GUN]Wires, u dont need xmms [01:00] <[GUN]Wires> it sends me to the download page when i try to listen [01:01] sigh linux is so complicated -.- [01:01] [GUN]Wires: you need build-essential and build deps... I highly recommend not using XMMS though, it has been unmaintained for about 4 years now! [01:01] every tme i download a theme its a tar.gz file when i extract it theres png's and a .dekstop and a .xml file how do i install these? [01:01] <[GUN]Wires> ah I see [01:01] [GUN]Wires: There is audacious if you like that sort of player... else Rhythmbox as suggested will work (I'm listening to a shoutcast playlist right now w/ rhythmbox) [01:01] Quick question: I'm deciding whether to dual-boot Windows XP x64 in comparison to simple running a virtual machine of it. The /only/ reason I'll need Windows is simply for gaming, nothing else. So do any of you think Windows XP will run just the same (functionality-wise) if I run it in a VM instead of dual-booting? [01:02] Hello [01:02] <[GUN]Wires> ok [01:02] every tme i download a theme its a tar.gz file when i extract it theres png's and a .dekstop and a .xml file how do i install these? [01:02] what can i use as a file browser in the terminal? [01:02] <[GUN]Wires> shoutcast.pls downloaded fine, nvm :) [01:02] Chrysalis: gthumb will allow you to browse folders you already have setup [01:02] spiderfire, nano [01:02] raulh, you dont do that; install via appearances and choose tar.gz [01:02] Takyoji, no 3D in vm [01:03] it wont do it [01:03] usser: nano as a file browser? [01:03] bazhang_: oh, thanks for the heads up about that. [01:03] <[GUN]Wires> I still wanna use xmradio.com though [01:03] <[GUN]Wires> grrr [01:03] spiderfire: mc [01:03] "SasukeGDM" does not appear to be a valid theme [01:03] <[GUN]Wires> will audacrious allow me to use it? [01:03] but its under ubuntu themes in gnome-look.org [01:03] How can I background a process if it hasn't been started from a terminal? [01:03] raulh, then choose a diferent one [01:04] ive try'd it with 9 others [01:04] [GUN]Wires: If it would play in XMMS, it will play elsewhere. [01:04] spiderfire, nano is a text editor, im not sure what u mean by file browser [01:04] <[GUN]Wires> nah xmms was for shoutcast.com [01:04] I got this new ubuntu kernel on the bootup list, how do i delete the old one? [01:04] Ok during the installation of Ubuntu neither the GRUB nor Lilo boot loaders would install. How do I install them? [01:04] [GUN]Wires: In Linux, most codecs are shared between players, and the players concentrate on interface. [01:04] FunkyHuge: find it in synaptic and tag it for deletion.. [01:04] [GUN]Wires: what is wrong with xmradio? [01:04] <[GUN]Wires> it needs windows media player [01:04] <[GUN]Wires> i'll try audicious though [01:04] FunkyHuge: don't delete it.. just remove it from your menu.lst with the # sign, you might need to boot it again some day [01:05] <[GUN]Wires> is there a command I can use to download it/ [01:05] usser: like mc [01:05] <[GUN]Wires> or do I need to google it? [01:05] [GUN]Wires: No it doesn't... it needs WMP codecs... provided by gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [01:05] spiderfire, oh i see, yea mc. whats wrong with it [01:05] In hardy, where is the file that contains the resolution settings. Its not in xorg.conf anymore???? [01:05] IndyGenFreak, how do i open menu.lst in terminal [01:05] <[GUN]Wires> audicious does? [01:05] [GUN]Wires: sudo apt-get install audicious [01:05] usser: never tried it [01:05] [GUN]Wires: also likely flash or something. [01:05] usser: just trying now [01:05] FunkyHuge: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst then just put a # sign in front of the two titles you don't want in your menu.lst [01:06] what does this mean? [01:06] mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, [01:06] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [01:06] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [01:06] dmesg | tail or so [01:06] Itaku: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:06] oops thought it would do it in one line [01:06] <[GUN]Wires> could find package [01:06] spiderfire: If you plan to function in CLI... you will want to learn to use screen also. [01:06] sorry [01:06] but anyone know how to fix that [01:06] why is it when i try to execute a .run file it says [01:06] ./setup.sh:273: /home/tal/,setup15576: not found [01:06] fde: screen yes i tried that before [01:07] [GUN]Wires: No need to download a million players for different codecs... you just need gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg [01:07] How do I find what my iPod as mounted as? [01:07] Andrew_Barber: try xrandr -s like xrandr -s 1280x1024 [01:07] [GUN]Wires, listen to fde he [01:07] spiderfire: screen is a cli window manager effectively... so now you have a window manager and file browser [01:07] vnc ftw! [01:07] IndyGenFreak, Thank you so much, have a nice day! [01:07] Andrew_Barber: also man xrandr for options [01:07] timandtom: right click, propeties, then one of hte tabs shows it.. can't remember which [01:07] FunkyHuge: np, likewise [01:07] obf213: careful with vnc ive had problems with it [01:07] Scunizi: it feels like a juke box now that i think about it (fspot that is) so does pretty much every program on gnome really, i am not sure why its so hard to just make straigt forward light programs that just work [01:07] can firefox 3 read from gvfs volumes like ff2 used to? [01:08] Ademan: sure [01:08] Itaku, i just used it to fix my xorg.conf and regained my keyboard [01:08] "not found in available modes" [01:08] Ok during the installation of Ubuntu neither the GRUB nor Lilo boot loaders would install. How do I install them? [01:08] Chrysalis: fspot is a lot like Picasa in some ways.. it'll even upload to picasa and other sites like flicker.. [01:08] hey does anyone know firsrt hand if any .net languages like vb 2005 will install on wine ?? [01:08] are there any browsers will a really small footprint, yet really good with handling javascript. [01:08] how do i fix this error? mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [01:08] Ademan: FF2 never could read gvfs though... that is why most Gnome based distro's switched to FF3, it actually supports it... FF2 uses Gnome-VFS [01:09] I tried xrandr -s 1920x1080 [01:09] fde: ah, yeah, i forgot about that whole switch [01:09] Andrew_Barber: and? [01:09] raulh: have you checked appdb? [01:09] "not found in available modes" [01:09] checked what [01:09] Andrew_Barber: what kind of card: [01:09] despite editing the xorg.conf file and adding that mode [01:09] How can I background a process if it hasn't been started from a terminal? [01:09] geforce 6200 [01:10] Andrew_Barber: do you have the restricted drivers enabled? [01:10] Andrew_Barber, resolution problems? [01:10] yeah [01:10] Chaelvin http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ is one of the ways [01:10] IndyGunFreak: Ah, thanks xP Probably shoulda thought of that... [01:10] I have not only the same problem as you, I also have the same card. [01:10] yeah, all nvidia drivers enabled [01:10] Thingus: can you help Andrew_Barber out with the resolution? [01:10] timandtom: it happens to the best of us.. [01:10] lol [01:10] Scunizi, Uh, not likely, as I have the same issue and can't figure it out. :/ [01:10] This isn't a wipe out though. This is a completely fresh installation. [01:10] Thingus: Andrew_Barber have you both checked xorg to see if it's using the nv driver or nvidia? [01:11] nvidia [01:11] raulh: appdb... it's the first place you should go to find out how things work under wine [01:11] where do I get a live cd? [01:11] !wine [01:11] 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. [01:11] could it be a hardware issue? [01:11] Scunizi, Same.

[01:14] fde: in to linux :-) what do i do? [01:14] blankhead - It is. For certain applications some people have needed to get packages or tweak some [01:14] Scunizi, I've already looked at that wiki page, and tried most of the suggestions that fit my problem, but I'll keep trying. [01:14] ohhh well im really not a genius with linux [01:14] Bluesiberian: 'sudo aptitude install build-essential' in a terminal. [01:14] Anyone having problems with your microphone not working? [01:14] so i really dont know how to tweak stuff and make it work requinib5 [01:14] Chaelvin ...

[01:16] Andrew_Barber: i810 is a board type for intel video drivers. not nvidia.. separate issues. [01:16] Andrew_Barber: In Hardy, i810 is obsolete [01:16] or rather, who uses bluetooth headphones at all [01:16] okay, so that can be skipped === adante_ is now known as adante [01:16] oh thank u man i see the fix in the bottom there [01:16] Scunizi: being like picasa is nothing to be proud of really ;p, why i left windows is cause i was using open software trying to stay away from all the corporate bloatware to only find its even worse in gnome, its seems kde is really what seems to have the thought out software [01:16] thanks for showing me the site man [01:16] how do you paste a folder into / [01:16] brandon__: why? you probably do not want to do that [01:17] thanks everyone for the great help, but im hit the sack.

[01:38] Simonft: You copy and pasted lspci on paste.ubuntu.com? You need to copy and paste the URL and paste it here :P [01:38] Simonft: you're gonna get good at that ;) [01:38] fde: i did not yet, i cant figure out how to go to a website address!!! [01:38] fde, most of the users are experts of pastebin by the time they get outta here :) [01:38] how do i figure out what process is causing "device or resource busy" when i try to umount my external drive?

Resizing/moving partitions can shoot you in the foot though unless you know what you're doing so backup first is recommended. [01:39] fde: how do i go to the site? [01:39] Simonft: that's the lynx part :) [01:39] Is there a task manager in ubuntu? I can't open firefox because it says it's already running and not responding.

It has all the handlers in the about:config and there right. I looked it up to make sure. And I have the same location I have to make it look for the application launcher but it won't launch. Is it because of program permissions? [01:40] fde: ah [01:40] Simonft: you can also try elinks .. I find it easier than lynx [01:40] Scunizi, but I am worried about the data already in the partition, if I shrink a XFS partition, the data will be preserved? I only have 2 partitions on the disk. [01:40] Scunizi: figured it out, turned out a machine was ssh'd in the drives mountpoint [01:40] RequinB5: sorry, but the real problem is that i just can't run a terminal, alt+f2 doesn't open the "run" dialog, and ctrl+alt+f2 doesn't work... i just don't know what to do...

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [01:41] lvella: I don't know what will happen when shrinking xfs partitions.. backup is recommended.

[01:42] I think I'll install ubuntu on the old one, and mount the other as home [01:42] Simonft: Or you mean the error from 'lspci' ? [01:42] Scunizi, its not cause i had to go back to vesa [01:43] fde: i installed it, but i mean the error from lspci [01:43] Scunizi, it made my video crash [01:43] lvella: that'll work.. you can name it the /home on install .. just don't format it. [01:43] fde Can you try something for me... sudo apt-get install pastebinit && lspci > ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [01:43] fde Looking to confirm that works right.. [01:43] ok, thanks [01:43] lvella: oh, wait.. gparted doesn't support shrinking of xfs so backup, repartition, restore is probably the way to go. [01:43] linkinxp: ah.. ok.. my 2 cents didn't mean much sorry. [01:43] Jack_Sparrow: haha...

[01:45] to be more specific an Intel C2D E6300 - will it run ubuntu amd64 w/o a prob? [01:45] jeremy_, "amd64" can be used on any 64bit CPU, including AMDs or Intels [01:45] Swish: it's intel em64t, isnt that "virtual" 64bit?

Does it work if pointed to a diff pastebin? [01:46] ah [01:46] * Swish is practicing building kernels first [01:46] PiojooAzul - enter your password at the prompt and follow the instructions i gave you [01:46] well i'm doing one tonight, and wondering which i should tell my host to use (i386 or amd64) [01:47] jeremy_ generic ? [01:47] where does evolution store pim data?

[02:14] i ment what # thay on now [02:14] lol [02:14] yojesus: sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-plugins-{bad,ugly} <-- copy and paste [02:14] fde: does not work, does it matter that i am on a ppc? [02:14] ? [02:14] bot? [02:14] loner269, 8.04 [02:14] thanks ubottu > bots own.. [02:14] vircuser, so? [02:14] wow [02:14] emma: http://pastebin.com/m752f49bd [02:14] thay have been workin lol [02:14] vircuser in that case, me personally I went back to 32bit when I moved on to hardy from gutsy. [02:14] whatfile do i edit in 8/04 to change interfaces? [02:15] loner269 It represents the release date.. [02:15] i still got a drake around here lol [02:15] loner269, you must have been in a cave [02:15] Simonft: last try: linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` [02:15] vircuser simplicity mainly [02:15] anyone every run the cisco lwapp upgrade tool on the windows emulator? [02:15] Simonft: fwiw, yes that was pretty relevant. [02:15] not a cave lol [02:15] fde: package or command [02:15] Laurenceb: this is the line I was interested in: Option "XkbLayout" "gb" [02:15] other linux ubuntu didnt like me when i had drake lol [02:15] vircuser, she can see the drive that is not the issue... only that every folder apprears an X over it and she cannot access the contents [02:15] Laurenceb: fortunately/unfortunately that's what it should be for your keyboard so I am at a loss. [02:15] Simonft: package.... [02:15] hi i am linux, once you figure out how to do something, i am going to deprecate everything and change it all around so it doesnt work, have a nice day! [02:16] emma: ok... very odd [02:16] Laurenceb: there are several talented people who seem to be active now that were not here earlier, please ask your question again so that they can hear it. [02:16] turbo, please drive thru [02:16] fde: nope [02:16] lol [02:16] turbo: fail [02:16] ok, I have a laptop - acer aspire 5101, the keyboard mapping is incorrect [02:16] turbo, /etc/network/interfaces [02:16] e.g hash key and at key [02:16] at gives " [02:17] hash gives \ [02:17] ish_nitti: so how ya been [02:17] loner269, good [02:17] !question | Laurenceb [02:17] Laurenceb: 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. :-) [02:17] Laurenceb Sounds like gb keyboard [02:17] Laurenceb have you tried checking system->prefs->keyboard, layouts tab: make sure you have the right keyboard selected [02:17] how do i use chown but with uid, instead of uname? [02:17] http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=50468 I followed this tutorial to install finger-print usplash, but I have the problem of black screen, and the splash do not appears.... what to do to solve it ?? [02:17] Anybody here up for a chalenge? i can log into ubuntu via the graphical login, in fact nothing graphical will work at all.

[02:18] raulh Excuse me but why do you say that.? [02:18] ps, anyone know why COLUMNS= is ignored in gnome-terminal? [02:18] is there a nes emulator for ubuntu? [02:19] fde idt did not work [02:19] hi Jack_Sparrow [02:19] How do I give my wife's account access to my second hard drive(movies,music videos)? I looked for a users group to add the folders to but there was none. [02:19] Hello loner269 [02:19] yojesus: sudo aptitude install libflashplugin [02:19] fde: yes, what you said exept instead of generic, powerpc [02:20] yojesus: grrr... libflashsupport even [02:20] back in a few [02:20] lol was a joke [02:20] Simonft: Try that... -generic is x86 [02:20] fbc is the device an ntfs drive? [02:20] Does anyone here use Dell Inspirion 5100? I have been having a lot of trouble connecting to the internet with it and maybe you would know why. [02:20] raulh Claims of racism are NEVER a joke.. [02:20] nickrud, ext3 [02:20] fde: will wireless work in text based? [02:20] nickrud: if I try acer laptop, no luck [02:20] !ethernet [02:20] Factoid ethernet not found [02:20] Simonft: Sure, but I'm not familiar with how to set it up. [02:21] Laurenceb is it set for usa layout? [02:21] yes they are [02:21] !network manager [02:21] networkmanager is an application to make (wireless) networking Just Work. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager [02:21] you take them wrong :) [02:21] Jack_Sparrow, dont you think your being a little too radical. It jast as bad to do to the other extreme. [02:21] does anybody know how to set up wireless in text based? [02:21] !stop | raulh [02:21] raulh: NOTICE - Please stop this discussion NOW. See !offtopic for things that are inappropriate to discuss in this channel. Continuing will result in action being taken. [02:21] nickrud: under acer laptop, only usa layout is possible [02:21] Simonft: ifconfig and iwconfig [02:21] fbc you can do something like chmod a+rw /mountpoint, to make it read/writable by all [02:21] <`paul> how do i autostart my svnserve in ubuntu? [02:21] What about wired networking? [02:21] Simonft: man interfaces then type /wlan [02:22] fbc It is something we do not tollerate from anyone and all claims are taken seriously [02:22] I have inspiron 1525 [02:22] fde:ty alot :D [02:22] im using right now [02:22] !startup [02:22] Just my problem is with usplash that do not is showed, what to do?

[02:23] Simonft: uhh... /wireless even ... anyway man iwconfig looks simple en... it's up? [02:23] in fact [02:23] Not a very smart one [02:23] Jack_Sparrow, Well, food for thought. The other extreme would be drag people out of their homes and shooting them for being racist. See, even a good thing history has shown can be taken to extremes. The holy(?) crusades. etc.etc. [02:24] I cant seem to get UK to show up at all now [02:24] fde: it is up, seems to be automatic [02:24] !ot | fbc [02:24] fbc: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[02:25] theFATMAN: please message the bot [02:25] fde: 16 was installed, so i just installed 17, i want to see what happens [02:25] fde, yeah i was just thinking that [02:25] Simonft: what does uname -r return? [02:26] Simonft: If that says -17 ... then that is why nvidia broke. [02:26] fbc, the discussion was stopped, I didnt mean you specifically. [02:26] fde: hold on, restarting [02:26] Hi im having a problem loading frostwire: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/motif21/libmawt.so [02:26] nickrud: thanks, I see the problem, not enough keys [02:26] but trying 105 key keyboard doesnt help [02:27] Is it difficult to get Gutsy desktop to run without the desktop? [02:27] is there a command that will tell me when an application is found using PATH, what location it was found in specifically? (like if I type firefox, it would tell me /usr/bin/firefox or /usr/local/bin/firefox or wherever it ended up finding it first?) [02:27] Laurenceb what model acer? [02:27] Hamled: Try "which" [02:27] <`paul> can i autorun a script as before login as a normal user (not root) [02:28] aspire 5101 AWLMi [02:28] storm-zen, awesome, thanks [02:28] Hamled: hth [02:28] storm-zen You can remove ubuntu-desktop.. are you looking for cli only server type setup? [02:28] <`paul> i mean the script should run as if run(d) by a normal user [02:28] Oh... finger-print splash, until do not works [02:28] what to do ?? [02:28] storm-zen: nope... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ... voila... to make it permanent 'cat /bin/null | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager [02:29] Jack_Sparrow: Yes, but I want to keep the desktop on board in case it's needed later. I just want to drop it to a run-level 3, or the like. [02:29] vga=791 is the problem, but I put off it, the screen becomes so big and strange to this splash [02:29] nickrud, That appears to have taken care of that problem. Many thanks. [02:29] fde: a ton of stuff came up when i booted again, now it seems to be stuck at running local boot scripts [02:29] fde, Doesn't tee -a append, so that would appear to do nothing [02:29] Where do i go for support with forostwire? java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/motif21/libmawt.so [02:29] what tto do ?? [02:30] WaxyFresh How did you install frostwire === The_JoKer is now known as SplinTer0616 [02:30] WaxyFresh: I might be able to help you with this problem. [02:30] Jack_Sparrow: apt-get i think,possible a deb. [02:30] I just installed ubuntu on a xfs partition [02:30] emma: whats up? [02:31] fde: it is rung 17 now, and that seems to have done somthing [02:31] Jordan_U: It would act like foo >> bar which still works if it's empty... try 'cat hey | sudo tee -a test' [02:31] WaxyFresh: I don't think so. Most likely you got it as a .deb from the site and installed it with gdebi [02:31] WaxyFresh: frostwire does not work with openjdk, uninstall opensdk and install sun java and it will work [02:31] twice it warned me that I should use LILO, and none it gave me the option [02:31] well there may be a way to work but that the easy solution for me [02:31] Actually, I'd really like to make it as easy as switching run-levels to go from desktop to non-desktop... is that possible? [02:31] now I have a ubuntu partition 98% installed [02:31] fde, I guess I just misunderstand what the goal was [02:32] WaxyFresh -- Are you using Hardy ? [02:32] sudo apt-get install opensdk [02:32] ooops wrong window^ yes im on hardy [02:32] anyone know why i cant find bitchx apt? [02:32] WaxyFresh: frostwire does not work with opensdk, uninstall opensdk and install sun java and it will work [02:32] Jordan_U: It is so you can pipe and redirect while working around sudo ... else you'd lose the perms when you tried [02:32] will there be any updates for virtualbox-ose?? since the update by virtual box has been useless. [02:32] WaxyFresh - Okay to start with uninstall FrostWire [02:32] WaxyFresh, You shouldn't need the sdk to just run programs BTW :) [02:32] Laurenceb I'm not sure what's going on there. With the new X, I haven't tracked down where all this stuff is configured at yet [02:33] Bluesiberian: it's not in 8.04's repositories [02:33] WaxyFresh: let me know when you have done that. [02:33] Simonft: Does it appear to be going better? GUI? [02:33] I'd like a server that has IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV tightly integrated and also has some sort of web interface. Any recommendations? [02:33] nickrud: new X ? [02:33] nickrud: I looked at this xorg.conf and the layout was set on gb as it should be for his. [02:33] If I chroot to the new instalation, and install lilo, will it work or there are some things the installer let to be done after installing GRUB? [02:33] and if i try to do it the reg way i get configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent [02:33] fde, I know what tee is used for, I know what tee -a does, what I didn't understand was what you were trying to accomplish with 'cat /bin/null | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager' [02:33] what can i do? [02:33] fde: no gui yes, but im am messing around with what i can do. [02:34] my network is randomly freezing? any suggestions to debug? [02:34] nickrud: this is Laurenceb 's xorg.conf -- http://pastebin.com/m752f49bd [02:34] Laurenceb the latest X does a lot of config stuff on the fly, used to be you had to put everything in xorg.conf [02:34] right [02:34] Bluesiberian: I think you need ncurses-dev [02:34] emma Laurenceb I thought the point was to not have gb [02:34] thanks for the help anyway :P [02:34] oh [02:35] Jordan_U: java is not working in other places as well. I dont think this is a frostwire problem. [02:35] Bluesiberian: you could also try irssi if you can't get bitchx to work [02:35] Jordan_U: I see your point... fortunately it's probably not installed currently. [02:35] that's what I get for assuming without asking for details [02:35] well at on my keyboard is above ' [02:35] nickrud: he lives in the UK and has a UK keyboard (as I understand it) his XkbLayout is set on gb also. [02:35] fde, Was that meant for someone else? [02:35] WaxyFresh: have you uninstalled FrostWire yet? [02:35] help!!! i cant create the correct isolinux.cfg!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/14953/ [02:35] I have < and > in two places :-/ [02:36] this is confusing [02:36] stares:i have ncurses5 installed [02:36] Bluesiberian: but do you have the -dev package for it? [02:36] I just did "fdisk /dev/sdb", then "Command (m for help): p", and it returned the normal info, as well as "Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary." Is there anything wrong with that? [02:36] Jordan_U: mis-worded... that file isn't created by default so it is irrelevant that I used -a probably is what i mean to state. [02:36] emma: its being removed,what now? [02:37] starnest: where do i get it? [02:37] WaxyFresh: even more reason to uninstall opensdk and install sun java [02:37] Bluesiberian: sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev [02:37] i havn`t been using ubuntu or debian for some time, i just installed ubuntu 8.04 on an amd athlo 64, would lik to get optimized kernle package for amd64, but i cant find any in the repository all off them are just dummypackaes marked for removal [02:37] Jordan_U: It is used by debconf if gdm and kdm or any others are installed at the same time.... [02:37] WaxyFresh: After you have removed it, then: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [02:37] Laurenceb that may be a bug, but I'm not familiar enough with xkb to say [02:37] Laurenceb Are you sure you are not setup for uk keyboard? [02:37] kindofabuzz: i think i have sun [02:37] fde, Ahh, you were not trying to zero the file but rather create it, 'touch' is usually used for that purpose [02:37] WaxyFresh: then let me know when you have done that. [02:37] where do I report installation bugs? [02:37] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [02:37] WaxyFresh: a couple of steps after that. [02:38] I'll try something other than UK keyboard [02:38] WaxyFresh: yes that's what I just said. [02:38] tat- the generic kernel sets itself for the kernel on the fly, wonderful magic [02:38] starn: i found ncurses-term installing that [02:38] tat- erm, replace second kernel with cpu in my last [02:38] Jordan_U: Pipping into an empty file works fine... I'm having it use /bin/null rather than gdm so it does nothing.... come to think of it I think I meant /bin/false though [02:38] Jordan_U: Either way, same result. [02:38] WaxyFresh: it's in the repos [02:38] !bug [02:38] 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 [02:38] emma: hehe i know i just keep typing CLI stuff into my irc client for some reason. -hic- [02:38] i reinstalled ubuntu now it says no connection any clues ? [02:38] aha # is above 3 [02:39] fde: IT WORKS (sorry for caps) [02:39] Simonft: What you do? [02:39] and changing to US amkes no difference [02:39] WaxyFresh: where are we at? Did you remove FrostWire and do the sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk ? [02:39] how do i test the connection to the mysqlserver? [02:39] Are laptops in general a real pain to run ubuntu on? [02:39] starn: same configure: error: cannot find setupterm or tgetent [02:39] emma: 23% at 128kbs a sec. shouldent be long [02:39] WaxyFresh: okay. [02:40] Laurenceb Are you restarting x after you set it to us keyboard? [02:40] Bluesiberian: try installing libncurses5-dev [02:40] will00 you can use mysql -uroot -p [02:40] virtualbox stoped working after the kernel update. How long before a new vbox-driver for the new kernel comes out? [02:40] WaxyFresh: and you removed the FrostWire you previously had installed? [02:40] Jack : no [02:40] and how do i get nvidia working under 8.04 i installed kerneel modules with module-assistant, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf is an allmost empty file with no real configuration ? [02:40] Jordan_U: I simply wanted to put that line into a file without having to use an editor or sudo -i .... [02:40] Jordan_U: That is the correct way to do that [02:40] how do I restart X ? [02:41] fde: installed 17, then did sudo restart now, which for some reason gave me a strange menu where one of the options was fix broken packages, so i said, what the heck, why not, then hit that, and it fixed stuff, then the same menu came back, and one of the options was resume normal boot, so i did that, and it showed a ton of stuff that took a long time, but now i see my login screen [02:41] tat_ why not just use the nvidia provided with ubuntu, I think it's still the latest version [02:41] Laurenceb: ctrl+alt+backspace [02:41] Laurenceb: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [02:41] nickrud: when i get the "mysql>" i know it connected right? [02:41] Laurenceb log out and back in or ctrl-alt-backspace [02:41] will00 yep [02:41] WaxyFresh: let me know when your terminal is ready for the next step [02:41] fde: i just realized how long that sentence was. [02:41] nickrud: then why cant mythbuntu do the same thing? [02:41] nickrud, : is that an dpkg package ? [02:42] will00 ah, now that's probably because mythtv doesn't have a proper user/password assigned/set [02:42] I think I broke my pulseaudio. I tried to install the glitch-free branch from trunk using svn, but it just killed pulseaudio instead. After the new kernel release for ubuntu (supposed to fix some problems with pulseaudio) I wanted to try over again, but even after using purging and reinstalling pulseaudio from apt, I still can't get it to work [02:42] ok [02:42] i reinstalled ubuntu now it says no connection any clues ? [02:42] fde, Ahh, then you meant 'echo' rather than cat, the command you gave added 'nothing' to the end of the file :) [02:42] What is good video editor should be able to edit the video and sound of the ogg project ? [02:42] starn: found libncurses-ruby [02:42] tat_ yes, if you go to system->admin->hardware drivers, it'll install them for you [02:42] Simonft: haha... well I'm glad it worked... next time state arch MUCH quicker... Ubuntu is dropping PPC, so I didn't even think to ask about it. (well no, it's going to ports, which you did state, it just didn't register) [02:42] what does the archive manager think about data that has been split into numerous rar files? [02:43] Jaikkuli: extract the first one, it takes care of it [02:43] WaxyFresh: ? [02:43] jrib: oh, wow cool [02:43] fde: thank you so much, but one more thing. while tring to fix it, i switch graphical manger to gnome, how do i change it back to kde? [02:43] starn: lol same error anything else? [02:43] Jordan_U: Ahh... doh... in my defense, I've been awake since about 6pm yesterday (6:43pm now) ... and I've been in here since 10am ish, without much breaks. [02:44] Simonft: You mean the login? [02:44] fde: how much you get paid? [02:44] fde: yes [02:44] fde, :) [02:44] Simonft: the correct way: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [02:45] Simonft, the ppl helping here volunteer their time [02:45] WaxyFresh: are you still with us? There is more that you have to do to get it working. [02:45] hi [02:45] How do you use radeonfb? I can't get it to work. The syntax is incorect in modprobe.conf? I tried "options radeonfb 1680x1050-32@60" and "options radeonfb mode=1680x1050-32@60". It says incorrect syntax. [02:45] I think I broke my pulseaudio. I tried to install the glitch-free branch from trunk using svn, but it just killed pulseaudio instead. After the new kernel release for ubuntu (supposed to fix some problems with pulseaudio) I wanted to try over again, but even after using purging and reinstalling pulseaudio from apt, I still can't get it to work [02:45] SeaPhor: i know, im joking, you should have seen his previous messege [02:46] Simonft: If that doesn't ask though... 'echo /usr/sbin/kdm | sudo tee /etc/X11/default-desktop-manager [02:46] ' [02:46] Simonft, i did ;-) thought you didn't, lol [02:46] (that's the location of gdm at least... which kdm to be sure) [02:46] fde: the fist one works, thank you so much. === ticky_ is now known as ticky [02:47] what happens when you connect two computers by USB? [02:47] Simonft: Most welcome :) [02:47] DaveKong they blow up [02:47] DaveKong: A whole lot of nothing at all? [02:47] I need help reinstalling pulseaudio [02:47] Oooo... even better! [02:47] DaveKong a joke, obviously :) [02:47] There some way to make a connection using usb? [02:47] :) [02:48] someone knows an actuall nvidia howto for ubuntu 8.04 [02:48] what is the best software for video editing [02:48] !nvidia [02:48] DaveKong, Nothing by default, if you want to do a little work and be a little crazy you could network them via ip over USB :) [02:48] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:48] hi all [02:48] ok, it worked ok in the terminal [02:48] WaxyFresh, I'm not sure where you went. We were not done. After you have (1) Removed FrostWire. (2) sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk then you have to (3) sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun and finally (4) Download Frostwire from here: http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads [02:48] I need the UbuntuStudio /etc/sources.list file. Looking for help. [02:48] The thought crossed my mind. [02:49] Sepero: Umm... it's EXACTLY the same as Ubuntu's [02:49] DaveKong http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ [02:49] Sepero: aptitude search ubuntustudio [02:49] if I type in tty2 its all fine [02:50] fde: What happened to archive.ubuntustudio.org? [02:50] oh well thanks for the help [02:50] I need to sleep [02:50] Laurenceb: but now if you type some place else? [02:50] its the same as before [02:50] hm. [02:50] Sepero: No idea... [02:50] seems to be a problem in X [02:50] thanks nickrud [02:51] oh well I can always relable the keyboard [02:51] Sepero: I guess when you can use a millionaires resources, it's not favorable to use your own. [02:51] DaveKong that one seems a bit dry, I googled usb linux connect two machines , there are more links there [02:51] I need to sleep, cya all, thanx for the help anyway [02:52] fde: Thanks for the help. I'll check it out. :-) [02:52] fde: if someone booted off live cd and all was ok, then they installed Ubuntu, and then tried to install their Nvidia drivers or ATI, instead of the restricted drivers, and now they get the "low-res" problem, is it a valid fix to just have them boot off the live cd, and do a sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot? [02:52] DaveKong and it turns out it wasn't such a joke, using the wrong cable does blow up the machines ;) [02:53] anyone know... if I patched my driver in the old kernel if the new kernel would have the previous patched driver or do I have to repatch it/ [02:53] SeaPhor: In most cases that will work. [02:53] hi, im having a problem burning a VCD, i had an AVI, converted it to a MPEG so K3B could make a VCD, burnt the cd, and everything went fine, but when i try to play the CD i get no sound. i double checked the MPEG, and there IS sound on it, but it gets lost somehow when i burn it. anyone know whats causing this and how i can fix it? [02:53] I need help reinstalling pulseaudio [02:53] SeaPhor: They should completely remove the other drivers, and use Ubuntu's. [02:53] HI all. I'm searching for a non-free packages working repository. particularly w32codecs packages is of interest. I've googled for repositories, none that I've found works anymore. [02:54] SeaPhor sudo update-alternatives --config xserver-xorg on the affected machine will get them a default display again, then they can go about removing the tainted drivers [02:54] SeaPhor: The xorg.conf's won't differ, the driver name is the same. [02:54] fde: ok,,, thats what i will look at how to do [02:54] !medibuntu | deea should still be live [02:54] deea should still be live: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [02:55] when someone has an opening... I need help with fixing my sound capture I have downloaded the drivers because the drivers in which Ubuntu installed works for all but the capture of my mic. [02:55] SeaPhor: Worth noting though that Ubuntu's X doesn't even define a driver in that file at all. [02:55] nickrud, thank you [02:55] nickrud, I've tried it, even the site has no pool listing [02:55] my kernel is 2.6.24-16 generic, and in the update manage it keeps telling me about 2.6.24-17, so i unticked those things and got the other things like python and a nvidia thing, but i just realised the nvidia-glx-new it updated has that same other kernel number in it, so i dont want to restart now in case those few updates i got were for the wrong kernel or something, how do i install what i had previously? [02:55] or will they be ok [02:55] hat ho [02:56] char hok [02:56] hi all [02:56] Other than System -> Preferences -> Settings -> Start-Up tab, where could something be added to run automatically when you login? A long time ago, I wrote a program that sends a random sentence to festival and it plays outloud when you login, but I can't remember what I made start it. [02:56] can someone advise as to how I would go about setting up something like a cron job so that when *any* time a user connects to the server, I am notified in some fashion... email, file creation on the desktop.. etc.. ? [02:56] tui buon nhu con gian [02:56] deea the pool is at packages.medibuntu.org , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu has the relevant instructions [02:56] CaptainMorgan, what kind of server? [02:56] captain:want to setup email client/ [02:56] I can tail the logs in /var/log/auth.log but I'm not always at the system [02:56] mmhckb, i think in preferences - sessions [02:56] ripps: This shows you how to install pulseaudio -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio [02:57] deea: Umm.... http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/w/ [02:57] Sarah: I asked where else besides preference - sessions [02:57] fde, nickrud thank you [02:57] ubuntu-lover, do you have one you recommend... also, I'm dealing with the ISP Comcast.. so there are some limitations in this regard [02:57] emma: Done [02:57] oh ok you wrote settings [02:57] deea == SeaPhor ?

I helped SeaPhor a couple mins ago... I really need sleep :| [02:58] anyways, any other ideas where something could be starting up from? I'm tired of my computer talking to me and scaring me when I login [02:58] captain,what u want actually plzz explain [02:58] deea fde gave you the correct directory, you can just download the right w32codecs and dpkg -i them [02:58] Nickrud, I have no luck tonight: site in construction. will have to wait [02:58] group:installing k9copy.help [02:58] WaxyFresh: okay so you have removed FrostWire and installed sun-java6-jdk ? [02:58] mmhckb, what kind? .... 64-bit, apache2 ran, php enabled..... what information do you need specfically ??

[02:59] nickrud, to me it says page non trouvee [02:59] ubuntu-lover, please use nick completion in a highly active channel such as this one.... I'm simply looking for some way to be notified when a user connects/logs on to the server [02:59] deea that's how I always get my w32codecs. And I have it open in my browser this second [02:59] i followed this guide... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_make_VLC_open_when_you_insert_a_DVD ... had to restart and now it doesnt work anymore.. i retraced all my steps and everything is the same but it wont work.. anyone able to help? [02:59] captainmorgan,ok [03:00] nickrud, do you know ftp pass? It seems to work by ftp === acigar is now known as FreeFull [03:00] Beawolfe: Yes, and probably. [03:00] ubuntu-lover, I'm open to the ways of being notified too.... that's up for debate at this moment [03:00] how do i install windows xp on virtual box? [03:00] how do i change the -depth of the mobitor's colors from the command line - i think either xorg or gdm are set to millions of colors, and i need it to be set to 256 colors (low mem vid card) [03:00] ubuntu-lover, email, cell text, Desktop/text.txt file creation.... etc.. [03:00] WaxyFresh: Where are we at? [03:00] nickrud, them something's screwed on my side... [03:01] deea no, I just doubleclicked the link in xchat to open the dir [03:01] nickrud, pls ping it for me [03:01] etyrnal: google 'default depth xorg' [03:01] captainmorgan,sr bro dont know abt that [03:01] how do i see how much ram i have ? [03:01] okay thanx fde [03:01] hi, im having a problem burning a VCD, i had an AVI, converted it to a MPEG so K3B could make a VCD, burnt the cd, and everything went fine, but when i try to play the CD i get no sound. i double checked the MPEG, and there IS sound on it, but it gets lost somehow when i burn it. anyone know whats causing this and how i can fix it? [03:01] fde, thanks [03:02] emma: it finished [03:02] Mr_Bad_News: free -m [03:02] Mr_Bad_News, cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal [03:02] deea got return from dunnewind.net [03:02] WaxyFresh: okay so you just did sudo update-java-alternatives.... is that correct? [03:02] CaptainMorgan: i'm thinking you can do something with "cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "session opened" | grep -v CRON" but i don't know exactly how it would work [03:02] CaptainMorgan: paranoid - why? [03:03] emma: yup ypu [03:03] emma: Yup yup [03:03] deea: Ugh, I have no reason to do something bad to you... I've been here for 9 hours almost straight helping people :/ [03:03] jeremy_, that's what I was just thinking... maybe I can develop a regex that matches "Accepted password for user ", or something to that effect. [03:03] fde, none taken. just that to me it says page non trouvee [03:03] fde: take a break man [03:04] How do i install realplayer and apple quicktime???! [03:04] fde keep on truckin' !! [03:04] lol [03:04] WaxyFresh: okay now I'm going to give you a link to download FrostWire from. Just click on the Ubuntu logo and then click on OKAY in the resulting dialog box: http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads [03:04] i mean don't stress yourself out though [03:04] WaxyFresh: that should start the instalation automatically. [03:04] m_newton, theres no need to have those ugly abominations [03:04] usser... what do you mean?? [03:04] emma: did sun java not work? [03:04] jeremy_, I'm expecting a higher volume of connections and would simply like to keep track... the auth.log file tends to be quite large, too large for casual review [03:04] CaptainMorgan: did something happen to make you feel you should get notified of logins or are you just being careful? [03:05] deea: What browser is telling you that? It's an WebDAV server... that is likely why it's not liking it :/ [03:05] ah [03:05] sorry emma [03:05] m_newton, just follow repository guide for medibuntu then sudo apt-get install w32codecs [03:05] Firefox wont play them [03:05] Hi, I'd like to record my electric guitar.Is there any software to add distortion or effects to it? [03:05] deea: You access such sites every time you install a package on Ubuntu. [03:05] fde, firefox is my browser [03:05] WaxyFresh: did sun java not work? [03:05] I am running a liveCD of ubuntu and finaly got it to RECOGNIZE two SCSI drives in the computer. I have tools to do diagnostics on them and even low lvl format them. I can't seam to be able to partition them or anything. I just want to get them usable. They are comming up as SDA and SDB. Any Ideas? [03:05] !medibuntu | m_newton [03:05] m_newton: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [03:05] fde I usually do them by apt-get [03:05] CaptainMorgan: i'm thinking in a screen you can do 'tail -f /var/log/auth.log | grep "session opened" | grep -v CRON >> ~/NewLogins.txt' [03:05] and if you run it in a screen, it should always stay running [03:06] m_newton, follow the guide at medibuntu.org [03:06] where can I find my fonts? [03:06] fde, what's about webdav? [03:06] deea you can try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-381bea41610683e5e26322fd7028e7aef85e3105-2 , it uses wget [03:06] jeremy_, how can I adapt that for a remote machine monitoring the remote server ? [03:06] Thank you emma. [03:06] deea: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list && sudo aptitude install w32codecs [03:06] emma: ^ [03:07] deea: copy and paste that... it is right from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu [03:07] WaxyFresh: thanks? Is it working now? [03:07] ne1 know how to create a raid 5 with no spares using mdadm [03:07] fde, have you looked at the insode of a xoeg.conf file? there's nothing in there that even remotely resembles anything like -depth [03:07] jeremy_, but cool, thanks for the insight, that looks useful ;) [03:07] Cool, also how do i delete temporary files???! [03:07] hmm, not so sure.. i'm not so great with bash scripting either.. but that would probably be my best suggestion is with the tail inside of a screen [03:07] fde, i asked here because i have already wasted several hours on google, in the man pages, in the forums, and on irc [03:08] etyrnal: I'm well aware of that... hence why I told you to google... so you know what to add. [03:08] Hi [03:08] fde no candidate version found for w32 codecs :D [03:08] Where can I modify the shortcuts in Ubuntu [03:08] don't think of them as wasted hours. think of all the stuff you learned! =) [03:08] Hello,, I can't play He is legend on hardy. nothing will play it [03:08] I've done medibuntu instructions [03:08] fde something really doesn't work here [03:08] m_newton, they will be deleted automatically upon restart. Packages that are cached using synaptic can be deleted by sudo apt-get clean [03:08] jeremy_, thank you ;) [03:09] deea: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install w32codecs sorry [03:09] emma: not in opera [03:09] np :) [03:09] WaxyFresh: FrostWire is a stand alone application. Did you install it? [03:09] fde gpg error: something about signature [03:09] WaxyFresh: has the install finished? [03:10] etyrnal: basically add DefaultDepth 16 (8bit I think) to screen section. [03:10] fde, i think its sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring now [03:10] How can I modify the keyboard shortcuts so I can bind the super key with other keys [03:10] fde NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 [03:10] deea: you need to import the GPG key for the repo [03:10] if i make a custom distribution of ubuntu, how can i create a net-install image? [03:11] and what if i have a cisco router doing dhcp, do i still need to install a dhcp server on my box? [03:11] deea skip all this high level stuff, just get the w32codecs package directly using wget, and install them with dpkg. It's not like they have any dependency issues [03:11] emma and WaxyFresh: frostwire will not work with openjdk. you have to install sun's java for it to work. well had to on mine [03:11] can somebody please pm me and explain to me a second a bit more about how it works? [03:11] deea: sudo apt-get install -y medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update [03:11] nickrud, finally ! [03:11] kindofabuzz: We just did all that. [03:12] deea I gave you a link on how to do that a while back ;) [03:12] emma: ok [03:12] How do i install everything in mediubuntu??!!! [03:12] WaxyFresh: if all you're after is Gnutella, install gtk-gnutella [03:12] fde, sorry - i'm just used to rtfm comments from people who assume i did not try on my own - so if i just add "-depth 4" at the end, that'll do'er ? === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude|laptop [03:12] nickrud, no I did import that gpg key :D [03:12] m_newton, just follow their repository howto [03:12] deea hahahha [03:12] WaxyFresh: go to Applications > Internet > Frostwire [03:12] etyrnal: If you don't want x to start on boot, sure. [03:12] fde, sigh [03:13] WaxyFresh: this is assuming you did the four previous things and installed FrostWire it should be there in the menu. [03:13] nickrud, what's about that key after all? [03:13] emma: i have not yet installed frostwire but i just checked to see if java was wokring in opera and its not. im downloaidn frostwire now. [03:13] fde, why wouldn't it start? [03:13] deea if you have the key, now apt-get install should work fine (assuming you've added the repo line) [03:13] nickrud, I mean is some sort of authentication or what? [03:14] WaxyFresh: did you install the Sun plugin? did you then link the Sun Fx plugin to Opera? [03:14] WaxyFresh: are you downloading it from the site I gave you a link to? [03:14] etyrnal: How do you intend to enter that without it being in the config file? [03:14] deea yes. The gpg key signs the repository, giving you some assurance that the packages are safe [03:14] nickrud, I see. Thanks for everything. [03:14] fde, thank you too [03:14] everyone is pro here [03:15] deea gpg basically tells you that you are getting something from the person that owns the key [03:15] fde, sudo nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- thrn just put it at the end of the file... [03:15] etyrnal: DefaultDepth 4 added to Section "Screen" in that file would work. [03:15] on php.net it gives this as an example $font = imageloadfont("04b.gdf"); what file format is .gdf? [03:15] deea: did yu type the last command I said? === imoet is now known as cew2_imoet [03:16] * fde wonders if it's wrong to find it funny that someone so paranoid (not a bad thing) has an unmasked nick [03:16] Okay, starting from scratch, fresh Hardy install, all I've done is let it update. How do I get wireless working? My card does not show up under Network Settings... [03:16] anybody here create a pxe boot/install server? [03:16] fde, sure, that helped [03:16] WaxyFresh: are you installing it from the link that I gave you? [03:16] Also, I've never ever used wireless under Linux before. [03:17] deea: It would have gotten rid of the GPG key error... [03:17] DrBanzai: use nm-applet [03:17] fde, it did, just forgot to tell you. It's all fine now [03:17] deea: :) [03:17] fde, that section has 3 lines - Identifier "Default Screen" ; Monitor "Configured Monitor" ; Device "Configured Video Device" -- an dthat's it [03:18] etyrnal: Neat, if you do what I say, I'll have 4... [03:18] emma i got teh deb from frostwire.com i didint follow your link,should i still install? [03:18] fde, found a sample xorg.conf [03:18] hello, anyone having problems with FN keyboard bottom? i just install 8.04 and FN is not working anymore.. now i cant even control the brightest of the monitor.. :( [03:18] DrBanzai, first thing first figure out your card's chipset lspci | grep Network. see if that shows up anything meaningful [03:19] * mneptok has a functional bottom [03:19] usser: Chipset is Intel 3945 [03:19] DrBanzai: use nm-applet [03:19] what is the * nest to the messages [03:19] WaxyFresh: just click on the link at the end of this sentence, then click on the Ubuntu logo, and then click on OKAY in the resulting dialog box -- http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads [03:19] DrBanzai, can u paste the whole line pls [03:20] on 7.10 the FN bottom of my laptop use to work perfectly.. now with 8.04, im having problems.. why is this? [03:20] emma: whats wrong with the one i downloaded? [03:20] WaxyFresh: that will use the GDebi package installer to install it for you. [03:20] next [03:20] ipw3945 is module [03:20] DrBanzai, intel should be supported out of the box are u running hardy? [03:20] it does not recognize my FN botton at all [03:20] fde, hardy has oss driver iwl3945 [03:20] usser: Yes, Hardy...just installed it an hour ago [03:20] usser: ahh, yes of course [03:20] anyone know... if I patched my driver in the old kernel if the new kernel would have the previous patched driver or do I have to repatch it/ [03:20] i cant even control the monitor brightest [03:21] afallenhope: repatch [03:21] DrBanzai, right pastebin the results of ifconfig command [03:21] DrBanzai: ***** use nm-applet ***** [03:21] How do you use module-assistant to load modules? [03:21] Hey [03:21] dang it [03:21] DrBanzai: click the GNOME Panel applet [03:21] fde: do you know where I can get the kernel source then? [03:21] DrBanzai: do NOT use the GNOME network prefs settings [03:21] akatsuki: You can file a bug and attach the patch, maybe it will be incorporated into Ubuntu packages. [03:22] can someone help me with some stupid problem? lol im trying to go from 5.1 to dapper [03:22] afallenhope: linux-source-`uname -r` [03:22] DrBanzai, nm-applet, right corner there has to be a little network icon there check if your card is listed there [03:22] i just installed ubuntu. :/ [03:22] mateus Upgrades must be done in order.. [03:22] !question | mateus [03:22] mateus: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [03:22] afallenhope: to limit confusion, actually 'linux-source-$(uname -r) [03:22] mneptok, should still be listed in gnome-network [03:22] fde: Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.24-17-generic [03:23] WaxyFresh: Have you done it? [03:23] ok thanks [03:23] fde, thanks - modified file - will be trying this later - i appreciate Your help [03:23] mateus You would be better off getting a newer version [03:23] fde, have a great evening [03:24] afallenhope: ahh... hmm... 'sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) I guess [03:24] emma: The task i was sent forth to preform nears completion. [03:24] Same thing other distro's have done, I wasn't aware Ubuntu had too though. [03:25] afallenhope: Actually, how do you mean you patched the kernel? You edited a module's source code, and applied it? [03:25] !question I'm trying to upgrade from 5.10 to "dapper". I got tired of Windows and found an old CD here. The problem is im getting this error when I try to get the Dapper version of Synaptic: "http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [03:25] http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found" [03:25] mateus: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [03:25] fde: yeagh [03:25] I'm trying to upgrade from 5.10 to "dapper". I got tired of Windows and found an old CD here. The problem is im getting this error when I try to get the Dapper version of Synaptic: "http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [03:25] mateus http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found" [03:25] !eol | mateus [03:25] mateus: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle [03:25] mateus: please install a newer version [03:25] fde: I patched the module source for the b43 driver... [03:26] mateus: like, maybe, 8.04 [03:26] WaxyFresh: Assuming you began the instalation in the way I was mentioning there, then when it is finished, then go to Applications > Internet > FrostWire [03:26] Should i download it and burn a CD? [03:26] mateus yes [03:26] hi other that the ubuntu documentation is there somewhere else to learn how to Linux, I find it hard to comprehend why I do thing, since basicaly all they say is do this and not really why Im doing it [03:26] is there a Gnome alternative to Amarok+MySQL? [03:26] hi, im having a problem burning a VCD, i had an AVI, converted it to a MPEG so K3B could make a VCD, burnt the cd, and everything went fine, but when i try to play the CD i get no sound. i double checked the MPEG, and there IS sound on it, but it gets lost somehow when i burn it. anyone know whats causing this and how i can fix it? [03:26] afallenhope: you probably only want linux-headers-$(uname -r) [03:26] mateus: unless you can pschically channel .debs, then yes, that's the best idea. [03:26] Yeah, i kinda think itll be more easier than upgrading it alll over. [03:27] afallenhope: You should definitely file a bug though and submit your patch if it is a fix.

It keeps switch between AC and DC power, and the screen dims and is very annoying.... I have heard the other people are have the same problem.... Any note of a fix? MS-1719 LAptop [05:13] Does anyone know what the earliest version is that supports the rtl8187 driver for Relatek wireless, or point me to somewhere I can find out? Cheers guys :) [05:13] waudette, nope...thats the most basic thing that can be done..i think... [05:13] *Realtek [05:14] scorch_, asking faster doesn't mean you'll get a response faster. Wait till it scrolls up a few screens worth. [05:14] Well, you should start alsamixer and play w/ the controls. The browser may be taking over your sound. [05:14] You should quit your browser and restart the app that's giving you trouble. [05:14] anirudh0: Maybe I can take a different tact then. In 7.x I was using factory binarys from ATI for my Graphics card. Are the Open Drivers ready for use yet? [05:14] so dmesg doesn't log all of the 'upstart' bootup ? For instance it doesn't log udevd ? [05:14] track* [05:15] Then U should avoid running Flash on the browser while running your sound app. [05:15] Oh, yea, and install and learn how to use alsactl. It will save you a lot of heartache in future. [05:15] what should the new labletype be when partitioning ubuntu to duel boot windows? [05:15] Rhorse: i already went in there and nothing is muted...actually i think ktorrent has something to do with it...i've had audio problem (no sound) from running ktorrent before...but nothing a reboot or even just a ktorrent kill wouldn't fix...this time it's a persistent problem...i'm still not sure what it is [05:16] Ermm where can I download 7.04 (Kubuntu) I can't find any links for it. [05:16] THe browser may be taking over /dev/dsp. This is common problem with gstreamer apps. [05:16] Rhorse: alsactl is installed...i can to the man page [05:16] raistlinmaje7, cant help you beyond the obvious "something is very wrong"...and the alacarte error is about incorrect parsing of an xml file..indicating that an xml file related to the menus either does'nt exist or has been corrupted [05:16] No worries I found it, thanks anyway peeps [05:16] Rhorse: but when i cut and paste your command i got an error message 'command not found' [05:16] Rhorse: wouldn't installing 'pulseaudio' fix that problem ? [05:16] would purging alacarte help? [05:17] naudiz, not familiar w/ that one. [05:17] raistlinmaje7, unlikely...alacarte is just the "user" ...its the "system" that is wrong [05:17] Rhorse: Fedora 9 uses it by default and it allows me to play multiple sources of sound at once [05:17] Rhorse: if the browser takes over /dev/dsp how do i fix that? and how would i check if alsa even started on boot up...i checked for messages, but didn't find any [05:17] lovely [05:17] hey [05:17] :) [05:18] I created a new partition using gparted.. the old one will still be there right? [05:18] I mean, I know it didn't delete it.. but it says unallocated for the rest [05:18] raistlinmaje7, i once had a problem with an upgrade where the icons in the menus disappeared [05:19] raistlinmaje7, even though the menus themselves worked...later figured out it had something to do with a defective icon theme [05:19] naudiz, ok checked out it's deb file. Looks like might be just the ticket. [05:19] But I'd be scared it'd bork my setup. 8 ) [05:19] I have Ubantu installed on an MSI lap top. It keeps switch between AC and DC power, and the screen dims and is very annoying.... I have heard the other people are have the same problem.... Any note of a fix? MS-1719 LAptop [05:20] Rhorse: I think it is the ticket one of it's features is : Support for multiple audio sources and sinks [05:20] /j #sles [05:20] Yea, I noticed that. [05:21] Wires, your question is'nt very clear..what do you mean by "rest"? [05:21] the rest of my harddrive, other than the partition I just created [05:21] the space taken up by ubuntu and such [05:21] anyone know how i can check if alsa is actually running right now? [05:21] irc.rizon.net [05:22] Wires, have you already applied the changes? [05:22] dhamma, you fix it by shutting down your browser and restarting your sound app fresh. [05:22] yes... [05:22] I'm having trouble getting the TV-out on my GeForce to work [05:22] ok that lost me even more any other way of getting dvd support [05:22] i don't have my browser running [05:22] anyone know how can i hide my host name when i'm going to network, so my hostname isn't logged into router log? thanks! [05:22] !gps > alan_M [05:22] something about Screen 0 already being in use (my monitor?) [05:22] i rebooted and didn't even open my browser [05:23] !source [05:23] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [05:23] naudiz, I just use FlashBlock to keep the browser sound neutral, and run my gstreamer apps w/o incident. [05:23] !ubuntusource [05:23] Factoid ubuntusource not found [05:23] anirudh0, is that a bad thing? [05:23] this just in, ubuntu 8.04 still better than Vista! [05:23] Rhorse: i don't think it's a browser issue [05:23] Killeroid, when I try to follow the directions to install lightscribe using alien, sudo alien -i lightscribe-1.8.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.rpm , I get an error, "File: lightscribe-1.8.15.1-linux-2.6-intel.rpm not found. [05:24] i need help here... anyone mind? [05:24] anyone familiar with nVidia drivers, tv-out, etc, pm me please :D [05:24] I have Ubantu installed on an MSI lap top. It keeps switch between AC and DC power, and the screen dims and is very annoying.... I have heard the other people are have the same problem.... Any note of a fix? MS-1719 LAptop [05:24] so dmesg doesn't log all of the 'upstart' bootup ? For instance it doesn't log udevd ? [05:24] mebbe not. It was for me. [05:24] Wires, dunno...if you are still running ubuntu, your partition cant have been erased : [05:24] ok thats what I thought, lol [05:24] thanks :P [05:24] harehole - terminal - nvidia-settings - have fun with the monitor settings - use twinview and such [05:24] anirudh0: thanks for the help [05:24] anirudh0: he might be running from RAM [05:25] I needed a good excuse to move to 8.04 anyway [05:25] can I move ext3 partitions without losing data? [05:25] #undernet [05:25] Wires, are you running from a livecd? [05:25] bad...he left [05:25] hola [05:25] yeah, I've been messing with nvidia-settings [05:25] join #undernet [05:25] saludos desde guatemla [05:25] !git [05:25] Git is a distributed revision control/software code management project created by Linus Torvalds. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) [05:25] quit [05:26] Check that you have the latest sound utilities installed like gstreamer, alsa, etc. Also all the restricted medibuntu drivers. [05:26] brb [05:26] raistlinmaje7, you mean extending an existing partition...gparted supports that i think [05:26] You can get all the info you need from googling it. [05:26] !who| Rhorse [05:26] Rhorse: 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 :) [05:26] Can someone tell me the apt-get command for the Ubuntu Source? [05:27] well I have a partition that's right up against the end of the disk, and a partition that comes before it that's way too big, so I want to shrink the partition that's too big, move the other partition over and make it bigger [05:27] is there another source of kernel bootup messages in another logfile besides /var/log/dmesg ? [05:28] Rhorse: what's weird is that everything was working fine...the sound just stopped...and i noticed it was after i had been running ktorrent, but reboots didn't change anything [05:28] dmesg isn't logging my 'udevd' but I know it runs at bootup [05:28] i cant get dvd support to work [05:28] can someone help em with my lack of sound (8.04 Hardy x86 on a P4, after applying all available updates) [05:29] I'm following a (rather bad) guide on something, and just used fdisk, editted some partitions, and wrote the changes. Now it tells me that they're all the correct System(Empty, W95 FAT32, and Linux). Do I need to format them still, or are they right >.> [05:29] dhamma, yea, I don't know why alsactl doesn't work if you have it installed. It *might* get you back to where you were. [05:29] APOWEN_: type 'alsamixer' and make sure the the volume is turned up and that it is unmuted [05:29] Hardy wasnt stable for me, also the sound did not work as well [05:29] raistlinmaje7, if you are moving a partiton, AFAIK data must be lost(unless you backup ofcourse)...if you are shrinking and extending _inplace_, data _might_ not be lost, depending on the filesystem types [05:30] all are turned to the max, yet no sound [05:30] ext3 [05:30] and it's pointing to the correct device [05:30] for both partitions [05:30] APOWEN_: Are you sure it's not 'muted' ? [05:30] raistlinmaje7, then shink and resize in place should work [05:30] dhamma, The command is 'alsactl restore' [05:30] awesome, thanks [05:30] Rhorse: ok...i'll try it [05:30] anyone know where i can find the ubuntu source? [05:31] sweetgum: what part of it? [05:31] APOWEN_: if there is an 'MM' on the volumes then it is muted [05:31] Rhorse: ok i just ran the command and nothing happened...do i need to use sudo first or reboot? [05:31] http://archive.ubuntu.com sweetgum [05:32] dhamma, does ktorrent work after you have restarted it? [05:32] sweetgum, thats the source code for the packages on the cd's [05:32] closest thing I get is a green looking 00 or OO [05:33] Need help with my sound...just installed Heron and no sound of any kind. Looked through forums and tried fixes to no avail. Sound Device: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM...any thoughts? [05:33] APOWEN_: ok then it is unmuted [05:33] there however is definatly no MM or mm [05:33] alan_m do you know if theres a sort of story board explaining how to get from kernel to debian to ubuntu IE(from kernel.gz -> ubuntu.iso) [05:33] Rhorse: i just fired up ktorrent and its running [05:33] APOWEN_: what kind of sound card do you have or is it integrated ? [05:33] hey i've been having some problems with debian and my network card, it cant configure it.. so i used an ubuntu live cd and it managed to find my wireless network card and use atheros hardware access layer and support for atheros 802.11 b or something drivers so my wireless card worked. does anyone know where they are on ubuntu so i can copy them? [05:33] how do I program in C in Ubuntu? Let's say I want to use GEdit or Geany...how do I compile/run? [05:34] sweetgum, are you meaning how ubuntu came from debian? [05:34] how hard is it to reconfigrue my X to have higher resolution with my RealSync PF77? can anyone take a look at my xorg.conf? [05:34] Motherboard intell variant [05:34] bczippy: take a look here yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [05:34] alan_m: Yes in addition, how debian came from the kernel [05:34] however it shows realtek alc880 [05:34] dhamma, ah, see? [05:34] sweetgum, I have no clue where to find that information, sorry. [05:34] After I make a partition with fdisk, do I still need to format it? Even if it reads as Linux or W95 FAT32 already? [05:34] alan_m: Thank you [05:34] dhamma, now you know what to do in the future [05:34] does anyone know what "Calgary: Unable to locate Rio Grande table in EBDA - bailing! " means? [05:35] APOWEN_: Are you using Gnome or KDE ? [05:35] it was working [05:35] hi, i would like to install a wiki on my LAMP (php) server. anyone know some wiki software i can get for free? [05:35] syntac: pretty much all of it [05:35] Rhorse: i don't follow you...i still have no audio [05:35] I am using gnome, general install from the CD ISO for 8.04 [05:35] hola [05:35] and having updated, and installed gstreamer addons [05:35] alguien que habla español [05:35] jbroome, i'm looking for some actual software [05:35] !es| jovelos [05:35] jovelos: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [05:35] mkquist: not all of it...will try and be back in a bit...thanks... [05:35] and the restricted drivers packages [05:36] Rhorse: do i need to use 'sudo alsactl restore'? [05:36] dhamma, oh, I'm sorry I thot you said it was good. 8 ( [05:36] Rhorse: no...sorry [05:36] syntac: http://www.wikimatrix.org/ [05:36] no, alsactl is not a root command. [05:36] could someone suggest a program to get a logitech wingman rumblepad working? [05:36] jbroome, excellent thanks [05:37] APOWEN_: Allright before we go any further are you sure the sound is turned up on the sound icon on the upper right hand corner of the you GNOME desktop on the panel ? [05:37] * Rhorse comes down off his soapbox, and is officially stumped. [05:37] hey, i need to copy the atheros HAL driver and the atheros support driver which comes with ubuntu, does anyone know where they are so i can just copy them? [05:37] yes it is running at 100% turned up no mute [05:37] like, where they are in the filesystem.. [05:37] APOWEN_: sound problems? [05:37] Mkquist yes [05:38] does this mean it is simply just not compatible? [05:38] APOWEN_: have u looked at this guide yet? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 [05:38] APOWEN_: always fixes my sound problems [05:38] not yet [05:38] Rhorse: i really think ktorrent is the culprit, but can't be sure...a search on ubuntu forums shows that others have had audio issues with ktorrent...it's a shame because i like the app, but if i can get my audio up again i think i'm going to ditch ktorrent. in any case, i've already posted this issue on the forums without much feedback...i'm avoiding a reinstall as it will be a lot of work to duplicate my current set up [05:38] Rhorse: but thanks for all your help anyway... [05:39] you could always use deluge :) pretty nice client UI very similar to utorrent [05:39] !clone | dhamma (along with saving your home and any bits of /etc) is pretty simple [05:39] dhamma (along with saving your home and any bits of /etc) is pretty simple: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [05:39] dhamma, yea, a reinstall is rarely nec w/ Linux. But another torrent client might work for U [05:39] !u | Rhorse [05:39] Rhorse: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [05:40] * nickrud will someday take the time to learn alsa [05:40] After I make a partition with fdisk, do I still need to format it? Even if it reads as Linux or W95 FAT32 already?

[05:43] is there a shortcut key for killing a problem [05:43] like a force quit [05:43] considering ARP and a learning Ethernet switch, 2 machines connected to the same switch with empty tables, the switch have to do some extra broadcast that was not required from the higher level protocols?

[05:45] bazhang, cheers [05:46] so i need gstreamer plugins ugly or something [05:46] ltcabral, you totally lost me there. [05:46] ltcabral, im clearly not the guy for that question :) [05:46] amrik2, medibuntu by itself doesnt seemt o work. i guess gstreamer plugins ugly will [05:46] or whatever contains faad [05:46] *should* be in universe/multiverse [05:47] alan_m: lol ok thanks [05:47] btakita, I bet someone in #bash would know the answer to your question [05:47] What program takes stdin and adds it to the gnome clipboard?

[05:47] hey I have file in my trash that says I don't have permissions to delete. Any help? [05:48] ltcabral, you can keep that question open for someone who does know the answer though, try not to repeat it too often though. [05:48] alan_m: okay... [05:49] X_ you could run sudo nautilus [05:49] i have been getting extremely poor performance with flash videos, wondering if anyone can help me figure out what the source is.

It could be in your home, or some other partition [05:49] i have an embedded terminal using devilspie and for some reason it now has a thin border around it, how did this change? can i make it go away without restarting the terminal/devilspie/logging out/rebooting? [05:50] ubottu, really? why? [05:50] Factoid really? why? not found [05:50] I will give it a try thanks Itai-Michaelson and nickrud [05:50] in the reboot part of that phase so see you in a bit? [05:50] Ubottu is a bot, its not meant for general conversation as it cant hold a full one, we can send it commands and it sends us back the information on that command. [05:50] bazhang, why was it moved there? [05:50] alan_m: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:51] Itai-Michaelson gvfs had that change, it's to do with allowing undelete and other goodies Real Soon Now [05:51] I tried sudo nautilus but that didn't show any files in the trash [05:52] nickrud, erm, what does "Real Soon Now" mean? [05:52] hello, im looking for the firmware i need to make my built in isight working on my imac...can anyone help me out?

Like vaporware [05:53] x_ use gksudo not sudo [05:55] I use su *grin* [05:55] bazhang: No good still root [05:55] using the wrong thing gksudo/sudo could wreck havoc (eventually) so always watch what your doing x_ :) [05:56] Itai-Michaelson: there is no hidden .trash file [05:56] Freddy__, It's available from your OSX partition [05:56] hi!, anyone using filemaker with wine?

And would disabling it/making it happen less often hurt(The computer has very little file activity, temporary or otherwise, if that matters).

[06:25] neyug1, so you want to change the boot order, correct? [06:25] timandtom that is, unless you just installed mtools that is [06:25] neyug1, you want it to appear under ubuntu? [06:25] vim? [06:25] yes [06:25] Vi IMproved. [06:25] vim is powerful [06:25] Ax4: yes [06:25] !info vim [06:25] neyug1, then you should follow my instructions lol [06:25] vim (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.1-138+1ubuntu3 (hardy), package size 790 kB, installed size 1552 kB [06:25] Though I recommend: [06:25] !info vim-full [06:25] vim-full (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor (transitional package).

[06:25] timandtom /etc/mtools.conf exists on my machine, I have mtools installed [06:25] chipdude here you go: http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup [06:25] !info vim-gnome [06:25] vim-gnome (source: vim): Vi IMproved - enhanced vi editor - with GNOME2 GUI.

[06:26] np [06:26] ok im there [06:26] rodel, sudo apt-get install build-essential [06:26] is vim better than eclipse? i'm comming from MS Visual Studio [06:26] timandtom sudo apt-get install mtools [06:26] Ax4: ok im there [06:26] heh does anyone know how to get the places menu of the the main menu and onto the panel in Hardy like it was in Gutsy? [06:26] hackofchris: If you're coming from VS, you'll feel much more comfortable in Eclipse than vim. [06:26] sudo gedit /grub/files/about.dll [06:26] neyug1, actually close gedit [06:26] Does anyone know how to use Devede [06:26] ? [06:27] anyone here can help me, when i use mplayer play a rmvb video ,the player give a error: ao_alsa mixer load error [06:27] chipdude are you running Hardy? [06:27] hackofchris in some ways, but it's much less helpful [06:27] neyug1, let's make a backup first [06:27] Plain old vim is a terminal-based editor. [06:27] hello [06:27] Ax4: rgr [06:27] vim-gnome is GTK, but maintains much of the spirit of terminal vim. [06:27] neyug1, cd /boot/grub [06:27] Eclipse is an X-only IDE. [06:27] neyug1, sudo cp menu.lst menu.lst_backup [06:27] Jordan_U, sorry for bothering but, do i need to install any graphic driver? this is an intel imac 20" with ati [06:27] is eclipse easy to set up and run? or would vim run better [06:27] hackofchris: No idea, never used Eclipse. [06:27] neyug1, then, sudo gedit menu.lst [06:27] vim is more quick [06:28] Freddy__: fglrx if you want 3D acceleration. [06:28] and vim just a editer [06:28] nickrud, thanks, got it [06:28] eclipse is a ide [06:28] Freddy__: Restricted Drivers Manager should offer you the ATI driver, I think. [06:28] Ax4: done [06:28] michael_: Though vim can be an IDE if you deck it out with the right plugins. [06:28] neyug1, so you're in gedit looking at the config [06:28] Ax4: yes [06:28] yes [06:28] how would ya compile and run in vim? [06:28] Freddy__: you could always use the lovely Envy tool [06:28] neyug1, great, scroll to the bottom and you'll see the operating system(s) listing [06:29] most time i use it as a editer,and use an other tab for gcc [06:29] Ax4: ya [06:29] neyug1, you can reorder it there and make any changes you need to [06:29] restricted drivers manager is something like the restricted extras? [06:29] Or a screen session. :) [06:29] jstEEz, envyng-gtk in repos now [06:29] yes [06:29] Freddy__: Nope....System --> Administration --> Restricted Drivers or something like that. [06:29] Ax4: ok [06:29] Not actually on Ubuntu ATM. [06:29] bazhang yeah, it's almost enough to make me puke [06:29] but ctrl+tab more easy to press [06:29] bazhang yah i know , im glad they put it out there [06:30] nickrud, and now in restricted modules as well. [06:30] * SeveredCross is used to C-a "S-' [06:30] anyone help me , mplayer show me a error: so_alsa mixer load error [06:30] neyug1, if you want to change which one is default, there's an "option" in the beginning of menu.lst called "default 0" you can change that. it goes by numbering of the listing, (numbering starts at 0 btw) so the first is 0, the second is 1, so on and so forth... [06:30] michael_, try vlc [06:30] bazhang [06:30] how? [06:30] bazhang ohh, hadn't caught that yet. I filed a bug against envy-gtk, it messed up the sources.list.

[06:42] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: I used sudo while setting everything up? [06:42] theFATMAN: No, but see http://build.rockbox.org/ [06:43] _0tt0v0nc4t_ ya i know but it shoouldnt grey them out [06:43] k [06:43] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: yes I will try. Should I unstall network manager? [06:43] _0tt0v0nc4t_ no you dont have to [06:43] i used sudo and all of my pr0n was erased. tragic [06:43] _0tt0v0nc4t_ do you have the link? [06:43] Is it NORMAL for a drive to show way more then it's supposed to after you format it? Specifically, why the HELL does my 80gb iPod now say it's 200+gb? [06:43] can someone help me with a Firefox issue in Hardy? [06:44] hello... this is my first time here... [06:44] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: ok I will try RTutil now, I was considering that just before I came in here. What driver are you currently using? [06:44] How do I examine the SMART status of my HDD? [06:44] timandtom that sucks [06:44] i have no 3d acceleration :( on my imac [06:44] timandtom: I have also seen incorrect drive measures [06:44] I used smarthdd editor [06:44] zetheroo... what is ur firefox problem? [06:44] _0tt0v0nc4t_ its the RT73usb driver from serialmonkeys [06:45] zetheroo yes do tell [06:45] rainarrow ni used smarthdd exam.2.0. worked like a charm [06:45] robg_, does it seem to affect anything? I'm trying to install iPodLinux, and after following all the directions... I get this. [06:45] what u get? [06:45] in rtorrent i get a storage error, file chunk write error, no such device, device exists with free space [06:45] robg_, all the directions for partitioning and formatting I mean. Haven't got around to installing yet. [06:45] timandtom: I know my drive is 160 Gb so I don't care what the software tells me. [06:45] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: hmmm, thats the one that works by default and the rt73 tutorials say to blacklist [06:46] robg_, but it hasn't seemed to have affected anything, other then just looking wrong? [06:46] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: problem is it works but doesnt seem to be supporting packet injection [06:46] _0tt0v0nc4t_ when you blacklist it your actually blacklisted the one that ships with ubuntu [06:46] theFATMAN: There's also something called iPodLinux [06:46] I blacklisted and it showed up [06:46] _0tt0v0nc4t_ not the serialmokeys one with is aliased as rt73 ,--without the usb part [06:46] or jailbreak your ipodtouch [06:47] Munchkinguy, thanks dude [06:47] timandtom: for me on a desktop PC is has no consequences. I use gparted when I want to examine my drive. [06:47] Munchkinguy, I'm looking now [06:47] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz yes the intended driver is rt73 and rt73usb is the default ubuntu one [06:47] hi, who i can get the hydra-gtk for ubuntu 8 as deb. ? [06:47] You're welcome. [06:47] ebay [06:47] Munchkinguy, would Damn Small Linux work? [06:47] the_doctor: (it's 8.04) [06:47] _0tt0v0nc4t_ so when you load it you do modprobe rt73 of course after you comile it [06:47] can someone enlighten me about opensync? in opensync.org's there are instructions on how to use the multisync app, whose package apparently only depends on libmultisync-*. What are the opensync-* packages good for? How can one use them? [06:47] _0tt0v0nc4t_ correct [06:48] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: sudo modprobe rt73 even ;P [06:48] myrtii [06:48] yes [06:48] _0tt0v0nc4t_ ya [06:48] robg_ Ok, sweet. Do you know of any way to fix it though? I'd PREFER it to be working right, even if it won't affect anything [06:48] anyone here successfully save to ntfs with rtorrent? [06:48] us [06:48] theFATMAN, for which device? [06:48] ya [06:48] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: so is the default Ubuntu driver the serialmonkey one? [06:48] sony walkman mp3 player? [06:48] _0tt0v0nc4t_ i could never get it to work with network manager , somtimes it would but always flaky [06:48] timandtom: you would have to ask a Linux nerd. I don't know a hoot about Linux. [06:48] _0tt0v0nc4t_ no [06:49] beyta: Since upgrading to Hardy and using the latest Firefox 3 I find myself in constant loops with login ... like the session ends within seconds [06:49] robg_ Ah, k, well, thanks for the help xP [06:49] Munchkinguy, model#NWZ-S16F [06:49] _0tt0v0nc4t_ theres actually a whole right up about it, and ppl complaining like crazy cuz it recognizes the card but acts really weird slow and all kinds of madness [06:49] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz even when it wasnt working with Network manager, would you get results with iwlist rausb0 scan? [06:49] hey ubuntu peeps...i need a suggestion....is there a live feed rss reader that has a stock ticker view [06:49] theFATMAN, probably not; it's for desktop [06:50] bczippy, im back btw heheh [06:50] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: funny thing is, it always works perfectly with live cd's [06:50] whenever i combine a bunch of avis it only plays the first file help??? [06:50] thats what i'm looking for [06:50] Munchkinguy, thats what i'm looking for [06:50] Ax4: glad you and your kernel made it... [06:50] _0tt0v0nc4t_ to be honest i just do a scan with the util [06:50] is it possible to install grub in DVD and make it boot some .iso files burned on the DVD??? [06:50] yes [06:50] _0tt0v0nc4t_ command line network configs make me quezzy [06:51] bczippy, yea had to recompile some applications that broke but that's expected ;) [06:51] bigmcq77, that yes was for me? [06:51] lnar: Why not just use ISOLINUX? [06:51] bczippy, took mere seconds, with my quad-core beast hahah [06:51] theFATMAN: Sorry, do you want to install Linux on your walkman, or just connect it to a computer with Linux? [06:51] ya. my friend did it. I dont know how though [06:51] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: lol im still new to linux so me and the command line are still in our honey moon phase [06:51] _0tt0v0nc4t_ ahah ya i know, we all go through it [06:51] lnar, Why would you want it to boot iso files? [06:52] _0tt0v0nc4t_ its definately good to learn [06:52] Munchkinguy, i can use it with ubuntu, no problem, i want to install linux0n it [06:52] _0tt0v0nc4t_: well get used to her, you're stuck with her for life! =) [06:52] Jordan_U, im tryin to make a dvd with several distros [06:52] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> definitely frustrating and time consuming to lol [06:52] beyta: any idea why? [06:52] _0tt0v0nc4t_ what guide did you use? the one on the ubuntu site? [06:52] Ax4: don't know wether to be jealous or throw something at you... [06:52] SeveredCross, i dont know how to use it [06:52] lnar, Ahh, there is a better way to do that [06:52] lnar: Google? [06:52] bczippy, send me the link again and i'll review it and look for discrepancies (if any heheh) [06:52] _0tt0v0nc4t_: you'll get to the point where command line is faster [06:52] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: I have used so many I dont remember lol, mostly the aircrack one and some serial monkey ones [06:53] SeveredCross, ive search everywhere and didnt find any solution [06:53] Ax4: http://pastebin.com/mf53c1f [06:53] !opera [06:53] bczippy, haha be happy! not jealous rofl [06:53] opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [06:53] lnar: Interesting. [06:53] Jordan_U, how ? [06:53] anyone can help me? [06:53] i have a very old server [06:53] _0tt0v0nc4t_ well get it working dangit [06:53] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: I have refrenced ubuntu as well but its not as abundant with info as aircrack and serial monkey [06:53] _0tt0v0nc4t_ thats true [06:53] and nowi going to move the domain name to another new machine [06:53] so, wifi doesn't work on boot, and it needs to. If I boot up, do a /etc/init.d/networking stop and a /etc/init.d/networking start, it starts to work [06:53] bczippy, it's crazy, I came here for help tonight, still haven't gotten any, and all I've done is helped others..... *sigh* [06:53] _0tt0v0nc4t_ i used multiple sources myself [06:54] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: lol ok brb Im gonna go get RTutil [06:54] lnar, http://www.linux.com/articles/52927 And for future reference it is usually good to state your end goal before you ask a question like that, because you may have many people that can help you but never get an answer to the question you ask :) [06:54] any ideas what could cause this? [06:54] _0tt0v0nc4t_ cool beanz [06:54] hey guys - i'm setting up ubuntu via debootstrap on a gentoo livecd.. going well, jsut configuring my interfaces.. got a question though, what's "network IP.here" for in that config file? [06:54] helo.. anymore can guide me ? [06:54] PLease [06:54] SeveredCross, Jordan_U ive unpack the isos into a directory then creater isolinux/isolinux.cfg and give there the direction to each kernel but didnt show the correct menu with qemu, and even when i could boot for example mandriva, somehow the modules didnt charge on kernel or i dont know [06:54] Ax4: it's called karma...lol...would help more if I had more exp with linux... [06:55] Linux sucks [06:55] jackw whats the issue? [06:55] has anyone had anything resembling good luck with wifi and ubuntu? [06:55] bczippy, now when I left, you were instructed to reset grub with the livecd, what happened with that [06:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/14985/ < is that correct, the network part? [06:55] every adapter I try, it's a mess or a disaster [06:55] mitrovarr depends on which card [06:55] i also don't believe in karma... heheh [06:55] ^_^ [06:55] i've tried 3 and all had obnoxious bugs [06:55] karma. why my wife left me [06:56] mitrovarr , u only need iwconfig and dhclient command [06:56] Jordan_U, if u find any solution in that page for what im trying to do, Ill give u a million dollars [06:56] anyone? [06:56] mitrovarr i think there is like a list that states which ones have good linux support [06:56] kiss_son: I'm configuring this computer for someone else. it has to work in the 'normal' fashion, as much as possible, because I'll never be able to maintain it remotely. [06:56] Ax4: the only mods I made to the menu.lst was to add the Backtrack title at the very end and change the menu timeout to ten secs... [06:57] Jordan_U, none of that works man [06:57] i need help making a dvd [06:57] anyway, I shouldn't rant. I just want to know if anyone has had wifi setups that wouldn't work on boot, but worked otherwise, and found a solution for it. Hopefully a better solution than just restarting networking via a script or some other ugly kludge. [06:57] bczippy, and to review, the problem is that backtrack won't start up, what error code do you get? [06:57] how to combine avi files ? [06:57] lnar, Maybe I misunderstand what you are trying to do then, because that is an article about how to "make a custom DVD to boot multiple live CDs" unless I gave you the wrong link [06:58] please help with a Firefox issue in Hardy === obf213 is now known as peterpan [06:58] hi [06:58] how would i redownload packages i seemed to have delted the gnome-do package [06:58] Ax4: it shows up in the boot menu, just gives "Error 11: unrecognized device string" [06:58] bczippy, when you try to select it? correct? [06:59] yes [06:59] lnar, what is the issue [06:59] Jordan_U, i refers to a script that doesnt exist in the hole internet [06:59] I can't mount my windows drive. it says "$logfile indicates unclean shutdown (0,0) [06:59] zetheroo whats your issue i didnt see you write what it is [06:59] ai3gtmc yes it will not mount [07:00] bazhang, im tryin to create a dvd with multiple live cds on it, like ubuntu mandriva fedora... [07:00] jstEEz, so what do i do? [07:00] ai3gtmc its on a dual boot machine? [07:00] lnar... restart ur pc.. and the problem is settle.. [07:00] <[_miT_]> peterpan, thats a pretty neat package :) lookng at the screenshots right now [07:00] meh, I'm going to go try the 'restarting networking via a script' thing. After working on this for hours I like the sound of it better and better. [07:00] jstEEz: Since upgrading to Hardy and using the latest Firefox 3 I find myself in constant loops with login ... like the session ends within seconds [07:00] bczippy, ok lemme read your menu.lst :) [07:00] I have 3 hard disk 1 ubuntu 1 windows 1 misc stuff [07:00] Ax4: http://pastebin.com/mf53c1f [07:00] lnar, Ahh, that does pose a problem doesn't it :) [07:00] [_miT_], yeah i've been using it for awhile, its pretty neat if i could only get it back.... [07:00] sori lnar... not u... msg for ai3gtmc [07:00] jstEEz, ^ [07:00] so bazhang i asked if i can install grub on the dvd and burn the isos on the dvd and make the bootloader boot the isos from the dvd [07:00] i did completely remove, but for some reason it like delted the package [07:01] i just wanted a clean reinstall [07:01] theFATMAN, sorry I don't think there's any linux port for the walkman [07:01] ai3gtmc, restart ur pc and the problem is settled [07:01] bczippy, heheh already doing it, just was giving you an update as to what im doing on my end ;) [07:01] beyta, i did that already [07:01] ai3gtmc ok so that windows drive can you boot of it? if so boot off it and then back to linux and your all set [07:01] jstEEz: and I have to constatntly re-login again and again [07:01] lnar okay; and how does that relate to ubuntu support? it technically could be possible I suppose--perhaps uck could do it. [07:01] Jordan_U, u have any idea how to do it? have u ever did something like this? [07:01] <[_miT_]> peterpan, what happens when you sudo apt-get install gnome-do ? [07:01] Munchkinguy, i'm too stubborn ta quit! lol [07:01] jstEEz, no it's messed up that's why I used ubuntu [07:01] zetheroo ok do you want to downgrade to firefox2? [07:02] ai3gtmc well it wont mont it unless you fix that, its an ntfs thing [07:02] oh... open ur windows and shutdown... [07:02] i mean microsoft windows [07:02] jstEEz, beyta , I just need to backup my windows files then format it [07:02] beyta, who are you speaking to [07:02] Well, uh remember: Rockbox supports the iriver [07:02] bazhang, it doesnt at all... sorry u know where i can find some help for doing what im trying to do? [07:02] <[_miT_]> lol beyta [07:02] Hi all... I'm hoping someone can help, running from a LiveCD, as Ubuntu won't boot even in repair mode [07:02] ai3gtmc one solution is hang on let me find the command [07:02] ai3gtmc [07:02] jstEEz: if there is no way to fix this .... then I suppose.... but that is a bit annoying..... :( [07:02] <[_miT_]> !tab | beyta [07:02] beyta: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:02] jstEEz, ok thanks :) [07:02] [_miT_], Package gnome-do is not available, but is referred to by another package. [07:02] is there any better alternative OSS Project Management tools other than Collabtive?? [07:03] !uck | lnar this might do it [07:03] lnar this might do it: UCK is a tool that helps you customise official Ubuntu Live CDs (including Kubuntu/Xubuntu and Edubuntu) to your needs. See http://uck.sourceforge.net/ [07:03] <[_miT_]> peterpan, 7.10 or 8.04? [07:03] 8.04 [07:03] Ax4: just realized top of menu.lst cut off...reposted... [07:03] it was there a minute a go i completely removed, but for some reason it got delted [07:03] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: how do you install it? make make install seems to be no good for this one. :/ [07:03] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> *dons noob hat* [07:03] oh... thanks guyz... this is my first time here and use this xchat... thanks a lot... [07:03] <[_miT_]> peterpan, my repos found it [07:03] ubottu, i dont want to change ubuntu nor customize it [07:03] lnar: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:03] bczippy, yea that looks more normal heheh [07:04] lnar, let me check ubuntuforums [07:04] what's the best php ide for linux? [07:04] yeah. i know.....thats why im here.....i want. to. get it back [07:04] <[_miT_]> peterpan, what happens when you sudo apt-get update? [07:04] lnar, You could try the script linked to in the comments of that page, though I don't know how respectable it is [07:04] bazhang, dont that, they say something about magic iso, ive tried that doesnt work and no much more [07:04] Jordan_U, doesnt exist anymore [07:05] Running 8.04, at boot in either mode, I get errored out with: /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: Permission denied || init: Unable to execute "/bin/sh" for rc-default: Permission denied || init: rc-default main process (4531) terminated with status 255 [07:05] _0tt0v0nc4t_ first be root and then make clean && make && make install [07:05] it says there is no installation candidate [07:05] http://www.linux.com/articles/52927 here it is lnar [07:05] ? [07:05] <[_miT_]> !tab | peterpan [07:05] peterpan: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:05] bazhang, the same link of Jordan_U doesnt work [07:06] <[_miT_]> peterpan, what do you get from a sudo apt-get update? [07:06] lnar sure it does [07:06] bczippy, how many physical drives do you have connected, just an 80G? [07:06] see i found something i want to try... how can i install Gujin bootloader in the first session of the DVD? [07:06] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: I keep getting errors like this with every commandhttp://pastebin.com/m6cb54a76 [07:06] [_miT_], nothing. [07:06] Ax4: yeah...on a laptop... [07:07] _0tt0v0nc4t_ crap are you getting the gtk errors? [07:07] lnar, http://mikukkon.googlepages.com/make_dvd_05.tgz works here [07:07] lnar that should probably be discussed in #linux or #ubuntu-offtopic [07:07] bczippy, ok makin sure :) [07:07] i don't get it back [07:07] <[_miT_]> peterpan, nothing like its ok? [07:07] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: *** No rule to make target `Makefile_cst'. Stop. [07:07] has anyone used debian? how's it different from ubuntu? [07:07] <[_miT_]> peterpan, im having you update your box using the repos you have to make sure they're valid [07:07] how to auto organize icons in desktop? [07:07] <[_miT_]> peterpan, a sudo apt-get update will check those repos [07:07] gnome desktop [07:07] [_miT_], no. it fails on some fetches [07:08] julio_neto, right click on desktop [07:08] ill check [07:08] <[_miT_]> peterpan, 3rd party repos? [07:08] thanks Jordan_U bazhang [07:08] bazhang, AUTO organize automatic. [07:08] [_miT_], mediubuntu [07:08] lnar, Where's my million dollars ? ;) [07:08] bczippy, ok so: "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup" [07:08] <[_miT_]> peterpan, temporary uncheck any 3rd party repos you have and update again [07:08] _0tt0v0nc4t_ can you give me the url to download i need to look at it [07:08] julio_neto, no idea; why is that important to you? [07:09] bczippy, then let's make some modifications to the backtrack part, remove "noverify" from the root line [07:09] bazhang, cuz it's sucks... I always need 'order by name". [07:09] bczippy, vga=791 im pretty sure is a default option, remove that, and remove root=/dev/sda3 ro as well, so it reads: /boot/vmlinuz [07:09] Jordan_U, it has to work... probable wont because i want to burn different distros than that script lets u [07:09] bazhang, why there isn't a 'auto order' option ? [07:10] <[_miT_]> peterpan, after you've unchecked all 3rd party repos, run sudo apt-get update again and make sure it completes without any errors, [07:10] it would be pretty good! [07:10] julio_neto, ask in #gnome [07:10] bczippy, finally let's change root line from (hd0,3) to (hd0,2) [07:10] bazhang, humm tks :) [07:10] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: one sec I accidently closed it have toi find it again [07:10] Ax4: okay...should it read root (hd0, 3) or (hd0,2) [07:10] Ax4: ahh..one step ahead of me... [07:11] guys is this a major thing is my ubuntu is gnome not kde ! [07:11] exploits, that is standard [07:11] bczippy, now if this breaks for some reason or you lose the ubuntu OS, go into the command prompt, cd /boot/grub, rm menu.lst, then "cp menu.lst.backup menu.lst" and reboot, that'll do a restoration of what you have right now ;) [07:11] witch means [07:11] [_miT_], http://pastebin.com/m548977f8 [07:11] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Downloads [07:11] what is the difference between the 2 [07:12] bczippy, that way you're not completely left in the dark heheheh [07:12] one uses gnome [07:12] whut? [07:12] exploits: Uh yeah, kubuntu is KDE. [07:12] Ax4: got it.. knew that... see you in a few... [07:12] hi- i want to completely uninstall SCIM and all its config files. should i use apt-get or aptitude and what syntax? [07:12] KDE is just a different desktop environment, slightly more Windows like. [07:12] hope he gets it [07:12] GNOME is more Mac-like. [07:12] * Ax4 grabs some food [07:13] takao: u could use apt-get but u would also have to remove some of the stuff yourself [07:13] <[_miT_]> peterpan, are those in your 3rd party list? [07:13] comparing gnome to a mac is insulting! [07:13] Jordan_U, doesnt work it only works for some distros.... hehe told u [07:13] don't even dare! :p [07:13] takao: mainly, the config files, not the app files [07:13] srry got booted [07:13] ddesai, would using aptitude be better? [07:14] SeveredCross, I dont think those are good answers [07:14] takao: apt-get and aptitude are the same thing [07:14] I've edited devices.map from GRUB, do I need to update grub to get the3 changes in the boot trecord ? [07:14] [_miT_], no, i uncheck all third party [07:14] lnar, Damn, and here I thought I was going to get rich :) [07:14] ddesai, i thought there was some difference in te way they handle dependencies [07:14] lnar, For what distros that you need does it not work? [07:15] nhawk001: They're a good approximation for non-technical users. [07:15] <[_miT_]> peterpan, then it should be updating fine [07:15] * chalcedony smiles [07:15] takao: my memory is a little fuzzy, but from what i can remember, apt-get does a better job installing the required dependencies, but for the purposes of removal, it does't matter [07:15] <[_miT_]> peterpan, did you change your main repos around? [07:15] Jordan_U, i want to make a dvd with the ubuntu mandriva fedora gparted [07:15] guys, i have dual boot ubuntu and windows... but if i format my windows my grub will gone and i need to intall back my ubuntu... anybody know how to solve it? [07:16] [_miT_], nope i've done nothing. i just the usually completely remove to remove config files and it delted the binary or something i dunno [07:16] ddesai, is the syntax apt-get remove scim --purge? [07:16] its both confusing and annoying [07:16] * peterpan sigh [07:16] <[_miT_]> peterpan, then your repos should have no problem updating... [07:16] beyta, grub will stay [07:16] takao: Newer versions of apt-get support apt-get purge package [07:16] <[_miT_]> peterpan, from CLI can you do a successful DNS lookup? [07:16] beyta: formatting destroys everything [07:16] <[_miT_]> peterpan, nslookup yahoo.com for example [07:17] beyta, you just need to fix grub [07:17] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio is this still valid for Hardy and Alsa ? i just got Hardy .. sound does not work [07:17] yes [07:17] [_miT_], yes [07:17] robg_, how to fix it? [07:17] robg that is incorrect [07:17] beyta: what changes do you wish to apply ? [07:18] <[_miT_]> peterpan, so your update should be able to find the url's [07:18] <[_miT_]> peterpan, i dont know what else to try [07:18] yeah maybe those urls are obsolete [_miT_] [07:18] beyta: what is the exact problem ? [07:18] _0tt0v0nc4t_ [07:18] 怎么没有人说中文阿 [07:18] does lndir do the same thing a ln, but for directories? [07:18] !cn | jiansen [07:18] jiansen: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:19] takao: --purge should get rid of all the config files installed alongside the bin, but somother files are also stored near the /usr/share dir [07:19] _0tt0v0nc4t_ i was wrong there is a configure script now [07:19] robg_, i was format my XP, after finish installation, computer will restart and automatic go to windows xp... i can not choose my os to log in... [07:19] lnar, I would expect Ubuntu mandrivia and gparted to be layed out basically the same way ( BTW, mandrivia Ubuntu and fedora all contain gparted on their liveCD's so gparted is somewhat redundant ) [07:19] _0tt0v0nc4t_ so first you have to run ./configure [07:19] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: I was just readint something about that, dont have my mind fully wrapped around it yet [07:20] hello how can i access the log from all the commands i have used in the past in the tty1? [07:20] beyta: there is always one boot OS and if you want the other you have to do BIOS boot. [07:20] <[_miT_]> peterpan, where is the repo file located again, i forget? [07:20] _0tt0v0nc4t_ lol ya they update that tool pretty often the last one i used was 0.14 i believe now they have 0.16 out [07:20] [_miT_], im not sure either. [07:20] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: do I configure it with nano? [07:21] [_miT_], however, i went to the simple add/remove interface tried to add gnome do and got this error message: GNOME Do cannot be installed on your computer type (i386) [07:21] _0tt0v0nc4t_ nano? what are you talking about? lol [07:21] robg_, i use two OS in my pc... but after i format my xp, my grub was gone.. so i can't choose to log in with ubuntu... [07:21] <[_miT_]> peterpan, you running 64bit? [07:21] _0tt0v0nc4t_ you just run ./configure && make [07:21] which of course is incorrect seeing as i've been using gnome-do for months [07:21] _0tt0v0nc4t_ then sudo make install [07:21] [_miT_], no i am not [07:21] beyta: when you do BIOS boot what OSes are in the list ? [07:22] <[_miT_]> peterpan, then that error should'nt exist [07:22] why is all browser text that large with hardy? how do i fix font sizes? [07:22] i guess ubuntu isn't perfect maybe trying later might help i don't know [07:22] locario: "history". However you might want to scroll theough them: "history | less" [07:22] just spent two hours trying to figure out how to install non-repository pkgs ... no luck! lol does darn deb pkgs [07:22] robg_, Ubuntu and Windows XP... after i format, grub was gone... [07:23] !deb [07:23] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [07:23] _0tt0v0nc4t_ the best thing to read is the README file in that comes with the program [07:23] !grub | beyta [07:23] beyta: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:23] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: it keeps telling me the file or directory does not exist. I am in the /RutilTv0.16 folder [07:23] beyta: can you boot into Ubuntu and into XP from the BIOS ? [07:23] Ax4: well, partial success... [07:23] !gdebi [07:23] deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. [07:23] robg_, not from bios.. but from grub.. [07:23] portablejim: ok thank you :) [07:23] hmm if i turn off compiz's resize option i still should be able to resize my windows right? [07:23] beyta: you can fix your grub by following the instructions on the help-pages [07:24] beyta: the link ubottu gave you [07:24] wow [07:24] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: I did I couldnt find the syntax in there to get it going [07:24] _0tt0v0nc4t_ did you type "./configure" without quotes ? [07:24] beyta: what OS boots up when you press the start button ? [07:24] anyone have any suggestions about wow on ubuntu 8.04. When i run using opengl, the graphics are really slow [07:24] why can my broadcom 43xx laptop see like 20-something access points, mostly with very strong signals, while my iwl3945 laptop sees only 9, and those are mostly weak? i thought intel's drivers were usually much better and broadcoms were supposed to be hell [07:24] kindofabuzz, I would expect that you would not, try it [07:24] Ax4: got past the unrecognized device, started loading, then gave me a kernel panic error... [07:24] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> jstEEz: yup i can make a pastebin one sec [07:24] thanks ubottu, myrtti, and robg... [07:24] _0tt0v0nc4t_ ok [07:24] bczippy, lol oh christ.... [07:24] kindofabuzz: no [07:25] bczippy, this isn't your night is it [07:25] hmm ok [07:25] kindofabuzz: if you turn off window resizing, you turn off window resizing [07:25] _0tt0v0nc4t_ do me a favor and do an ls -al also and paste that [07:25] maco: i just thought there was a default before compiz's [07:25] hackofchris, Do you have the correct drivers for your Graphics card installed? [07:25] Ax4: well, i did get my Heron sound working...lol [07:25] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=367929 beyta read this [07:25] kindofabuzz: if you turn off compiz too.... [07:25] ahh [07:25] Please someone help me [07:26] gotcha [07:26] .oO(firefox, aka borkzilla) [07:26] kindofabuzz: but metacity's window resizing cant be used while compiz is your window manager because then metacity's not running [07:26] bczippy, funny, im having sound issues as well... haven't yet resolved it, but it's 2:30am for me, im calling it a night [07:26] !ask | Dil [07:26] Dil: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily).

[07:28] KRaZy_WaKa, Then you need to have root ( admin ) privileges as that is a system file [07:29] i am having the torrent [07:29] i'm aware... it's the privoxy config file, trying to get privoxy and tor up and running [07:29] anyone have any experience with the ultimate edition of ubuntu? [07:29] KRaZy_WaKa: if you use a terminal editor, like nano or vim, use "sudo nano" or "sudo vim" but if you use gedit, then open it with "gksu gedit " [07:29] yit4s, what happens when you sudo dhclient wlan0 (or nic name) [07:29] KRaZy_WaKa, To open it with root privileges run "gksudo gedit /path/to/file" [07:29] [_miT_], http://pastebin.com/ma23f98a [07:29] _0tt0v0nc4t_ i meant sudo apt-get install build-essential sorry [07:29] moshe, ultimate version of ubuntu?

[07:30] xchat-2.8.7a.exe [07:30] KRaZy_WaKa: gksu = gksudo on ubuntu [07:30] so i've noticed lol [07:30] sorry [07:31] ok on ubuntu so gksudo it is [07:31] KRaZy_WaKa: ever use a mac before? [07:31] dil why exe? this is not windows [07:31] * chalcedony smiles [07:31] nope [07:31] [_miT_], you have quite a bit more than i do [07:31] the name is Install-winMd5Sum.exe [07:31] went from winblows to ubuntu [07:31] <[_miT_]> peterpan, but i get a clean update :) [07:31] and never looking back [07:31] KRaZy_WaKa: oh ok...i was gonna say they do it the same way...all users use sudo to get root powers [07:31] anyway,I am having problems configuring an ATI radion 9200 video card.

[08:25] ikonia, ty :D [08:25] ikonia but in qemu only 640x480x4 [08:25] Agent_bob, That is not the correct syntax [08:26] Agent_bob: hand on hart, I don't know how this will work, as the use of the nvidia driver requires a kernel module, which won't be able to be loaded from your host, so will need running int he virtual machine, and I don't know how that interaction/hardware-connection will work [08:26] how do I get vncserver to auto-startup? [08:26] Agent_bob: heart even [08:26] Jordan_U ? [08:26] Agent_bob: you could try forcing the nv driver into xorg.conf for your gues [08:27] guest [08:27] ikonia i see. or maybe even a generic "vesa" driver ? [08:27] hi i've just installed ubuntu server recently... never had a server to play with before... couple questions on sharing disk space: 1) do SAMBA shares work over the internet or LAN only? 2) i want to do something like, setup 10GB for each user to use locally without restriction, allow access over the internet (sftp? or something simpler for non-techies to use?) but restrict the maximum... [08:27] ...transfer rate. any suggestions? [08:27] Agent_bob: nv may be better [08:27] amerinese: they are aimed at lan us [08:27] k i'll shoot that and see what happens. [08:28] amerinese: lan use sorry [08:28] ikonia: okay, so samba would only be for local use [08:28] amerinese: for network sharing you may want to consider sftp, http, something along those lines [08:28] amerinese: samba is aimed at local use but CAN work over the internet [08:28] amerinese: however I wouldn't use it over the internet [08:28] ok gotcha [08:28] How do I log automatically to ubuntu without entering my password, any hints please? [08:29] In-Sane``: Under login screen setup, you can set a default login [08:29] ikonia one other thing, do you know how to get pcspkr in the emulator ? [08:29] how do I get vncserver to auto-startup? [08:29] ikonia: any ideas for limiting the bandwith over the internet? either over sftp or http? not all traffic, just for filesharing [08:29] Agent_bob: I didn't think you could [08:29] amerinese: quos with iptables (not a 2 minute task setup) [08:29] Flannel: ok, so there it is. thank you [08:29] ikonia ok. [08:30] hi .. what do i do when i insert a cd and it gives me message ... cannot mount volume as file system isnt supported ?? i thought ubuntu supports all file formats [08:30] Agent_bob: as I understand it the rule of thumb is "no direct hrdware access" [08:31] when i change my visual settings in appereance -> visual settings to normal it goes ok, but when i reboot my pc the visual settings are back to none. how can i fix this? [08:31] hi .. what do i do when i insert a cd and it gives me message ... cannot mount volume as file system isnt supported ?? i thought ubuntu supports all file formats [08:31] ikonia hmmm then why would the vidio card be different ? [08:31] Agent_bob: it's not [08:31] i've compiz fusion icon installed as well [08:31] Vegombrei: what file system is on it ? [08:32] hello Vegombrei what is the fs on the cd [08:33] Given that one of my 'puters on this gigabit lan has several terabytes of storage available and others are hd-starved, how should I get rid of /var/cache/apt/archives on those other 'puters? [08:33] ikonia: i think that cd may have been made thru a windows pc [08:33] Vegombrei: does the cd work anwhere else ? [08:33] nonix4: you may find it easy to talk in english witht he word "computers" in staid o#puters [08:34] ikonia: ;) [08:34] ikonia: nope .. i guess a windows pc would be able to read it [08:34] nonix4: how lacking in disk are the other machines [08:34] Vegombrei: I didn't ask for a guest, I asked if other machines/OS's COULD read it [08:34] ikonia: talking 4 gigabyte ones... so they'll run out of hd space in less than a year of (unattended) updates [08:34] nonix4: cron it every 3 months to reduce it then [08:35] nonix4: maybe grep out not removing kernel updates for roll backs [08:35] Vegombrei: are you sure the cd is still good [08:35] hello, How can I block a program that is trying to connect to inet? [08:35] tobleronee: use a firewall ? [08:35] tobleronee: disable the program ? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [08:36] ikonia: i dont have any other os but ubuntu :( but i have encountered a similar problem where a friend of mine made me a dvd and it didnt work on ubuntu but when we tried it on his windows pc it worked [08:36] ikonia: well, given that it's a gigabit lan and the host w/ "infinite" storage available is online 24/7, having copies on all the other machines doesn't really make too much sense... [08:36] nonix4: it does for certain situations, such as a kernel roll back, hence why I said remove everything but kernel updates [08:36] blessed_guess: yes its good .. it says cannot mount volume as the system isnt supported by ubuntu [08:36] how can finde driver for lexmark(all in one) x74-x75 for ubuntu or how can install it? [08:37] Vegombrei: without knowing if the CD is good on another machine, or knowning what file system is on the CD - it's hard to progress [08:37] Vegombrei: don't give false informtation out [08:37] Vegombrei: your NOT sure it's good [08:37] ikonia: im flat out positive if i insert this disk into a windows pc it will work [08:37] Vegombrei: how ?

[08:52] Anonona_DC: iproute seems fine, maybe look at wondershaper as the problem ? [08:52] Anonona_DC: look at quos with iptables as an alternative [08:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shorewall/+bug/194623 is what I'm reading, but I'm not exactly knowledgeable on this type of thing [08:53] hi all, how can I start a bash script on ubuntu boot whith root priv without typing password ?

[09:11] enquest: what is the problem ? [09:12] ikonia: yeah dude but its the same udf thing [09:12] Vegombrei: yes, but you know if you tick that box it doesn't work [09:12] beyta: okay :0 [09:12] thx oli`` [09:12] Vegombrei: so why are you ticking that box?

Because today Ubuntu updated the kernel... how do I fix this so that the kernel module is loaded again?

[09:14] enquest: it's probably down to the new kernel released last night [09:14] enquest: I saw those updates too [09:14] enquest: this should not have broke it, but could have done, dependong on where the driver is loaded from [09:14] I have put in /etc/rc.local before ligne exit 0 /usr/bin/synergc myarguments [09:14] ikonia: Audi [09:14] ceoph: check it for errors. maybe it tries to start but something goes wrong [09:14] ikonia, I work on Ubuntu as webdeveloper and can't live without virtualbox [09:15] Dil: thats an ebook isn't it ? [09:15] enquest: I appriciate that, [09:15] ikonia enquest: the kernel driver for VB is kernel-specific. They should release a new module in due time, but to use it now, either compile yourself or use the old kernel (select at grub) [09:15] Vegombrei: oooh, you mean this is a music CD [09:15] Vegombrei: and your car won't play it without that extension [09:15] prodigel I try to find something in /var/log but don't find anything. Do you have an idea ? [09:15] ikonia: mp3 [09:15] had anyone here trouble using sun's wtk on ubuntu 64 bit machine ??

[09:16] Dil:.....no, have you tried any of the ebook readers in ubuntu [09:16] ceoph: try tty 8 (ctrl+alt+8). There you should see boot output. that's how I tested my rc.local scripts ;) [09:16] xst - the .deb (install file) is available in unofficial PPA packages right now - I don't know when they're going to change it. Firefox has a status meeting every Tuesday, though - so tomorrow we may find out whether we can expect an RC2, or a 3.0 release anytime soon [09:16] i found the apperance thing but there are only 3 options there where do i go to apply plugins etc? [09:16] ikonia: it has a bit... the release is 2.6.24-17 (vs 2.6.24-16) [09:17] ceoph: or maybe another console, search them all [09:17] sorry but i am using XP [09:17] Oli``: it's the same kernel version [09:17] does anyone know how i can load an mp4 onto an ipod in ubuntu? what programs?

[09:18] Dil: your on freenode now [09:18] anyone use compiz? [09:18] brocebeats: ues [09:18] yes [09:18] smokie, u kan use hipo ipos management tool.. i use that tool to manage my ipod...

[09:20] Anonona_DC: beta 3 was the release version ubuntu shipped with, RC1 is an update, RC2, could be an update, RC3, could be an update, to maintiana those updates linked in with gnome and other apps is a massive over head, just wait for final [09:20] hmm [09:20] Anonona_DC: because 3.0 is out within a week? [09:20] ceoph: you can run it by hand also. don't need to restart to see it work. just login as root and du /etc/rc.local [09:20] Dil: there are many people there [09:20] prodigel: ok, how I can test rc.local without rebooting ? [09:20] moDumass: alt-f2 then gnome-terminal [09:20] ceoph: :) read up [09:20] Dil: there are over 200 people there.. /join ##windows [09:20] awesome thanks [09:20] prodigel: ok, tks [09:21] guys [09:21] i joined [09:21] thanks [09:21] i got them there [09:21] IMHO when you to ship a webbrowser that wasn't out of beta in the mainline distro, there's an obligation to keep it updated with every securityfix that was put off until the last minute in the development cycle [09:21] i tried the iwconfig but it didn't work [09:21] ikonia did you have to install ccsm? or is it on ubuntu by default [09:21] the network still didn't connect [09:21] right now im on ethernet connection to the internet [09:21] can someone help me connect to the wireless [09:21] Anonona_DC: your welcome to your opinion, but thats quite an overhead, if they had shipped with FF2 people would be complaining [09:21] brocebeats: you install it [09:21] i pressed alt f2, what do you mean "and then gnome terminal" [09:22] killakali, i use wireless too... i just make configuration at manual wireless configuration.. [09:22] hi i need to know something more about using xchat [09:22] i am new here [09:22] Dil: just ask the question [09:22] Dil, what u want to know? [09:22] ikonia: How much integration is there anyway? Would it be possible to install a "stand-alone" ff alongside? [09:22] ikonia: ? [09:22] moDumass: the box that pops up after typing alt f2, enter gnome-terminal. the hyphen matters [09:22] about using xchat [09:23] found it [09:23] Dil: wanna narrow that down a little? [09:23] Lynet: firefox is stand alone - but for it to work as firefox currently does with gnome - that would be quite an overhead to intergrate every update [09:23] how do i make a configuration [09:23] ?

[09:23] please help [09:23] Vegombrei: I have no idea about your audi stereo - mine works fine without windows extensions [09:24] the firefox QA guys I talked with expected much more time (weeks) than they were given to mess with the trunk before RC1 was released [09:24] ikonia: "is standalone" "overhead to integrate". Those sound like conflicting statements. [09:24] ceoph: rc.local is executed before gdm [09:24] ceoph: why do you need gdm in rc.local? [09:24] about making friends [09:24] joining channels [09:24] Lynet: sorry, let me clarfiy, firefox is stand alone (grab a binary pack from mozilla.org for example) however ubuntu links firefox into the gnome envionrment for better interoperability [09:24] I don't know whether we'll get an RC2 or not, but it feels a bit rushed, and I'd hazard against expecting it out in a week [09:24] it said rx wep frame, decrypt failed [09:24] joining gropus [09:24] Dil: do you have a question, yes/no ? [09:25] sorry [09:25] wlan0: rx wep frame, decrypt failed [09:25] thats what it said [09:25] prodigel: rc.local starts before X ?

[09:30] jbroome, thanks [09:30] jbroome thanks mate i gott abe blind today-.- [09:30] starnestormy [09:30] ur name is long [09:30] ghindo: that rebinds /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0 [09:30] blankthemuffin, good. try disabling it, then restart X and see if it's still sluggish :) [09:30] i will call u star [09:31] ghindo: have you tried using the hardware button? [09:31] Dil: type Star then press the TAB key [09:31] yes lynet i have the right password i tripple checked it too [09:31] tab is working [09:31] does ubutnu server has a gui? (can i add fluxox or openbx easily) [09:31] but the text replied to me is in red color [09:31] liassist: it doesn't have one by default, but you can add one [09:31] liassist: no, yes [09:31] ikonia: dude can you help me set up an ftp server ? [09:31] by that i came to know that the text is for me [09:32] whcih one [09:32] gnome? [09:32] how can i do that [09:32] yacc: Thanks, that worked! What do I do if I have two CD drives on that computer? [09:32] philsf: I'm running the option on a remote computer and just want to know it works [09:32] Vegombrei: what up ? [09:32] killakali408650: The first think I do when troubleshooting wireless is to turn of encryption first. Once it works without encryption I know that everything else is ok so that any problem that shows up when I turn on encryption is only related to that. [09:32] so apt-get install fluxbox [09:33] liassist, fluxbox is for what? [09:33] gui!! [09:33] fluxbox is a window manager [09:33] its DE too [09:33] oh.... ok... [09:33] ohh turn off the encryption huh [09:33] How can I find out what repository a package belongs to ? [09:33] i read the error log lynet [09:34] it said rx wep frame, decrypt failed [09:34] rajalot, It still sees slower than my other PC ( which is much much less powerful ) but it's heaps better all the same. Down too 3s loads for pretty much everything [09:34] or can i install a previos version of gnome (which works on 256mb ram smoothy) [09:34] DracoZA: apt-cache showpkg foo [09:35] tx jbroome [09:35] or can i install a previos version of gnome (which works on 256mb ram smoothy) [09:35] ikonia: you see i wish to let my friends connect directly to my pc and download stuff .. it would save me the effort of burning dvds for em .. [09:36] i need a driver for my nvidia card. RIVA128 real agp [09:36] exit [09:36] or can i install a previos version of gnome (which works on 256mb ram smoothy) [09:36] does anyone have any ideas? [09:36] killakali408650: Well, that sounds like wrong password to me. Or misconfigured encryption type (wep-64/-128, wpa, wpa-psk,...) [09:37] thanx [09:37] prodigel: I'm back, sorry [09:37] or hex vs ascii [09:37] ceoph: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=48196 [09:37] ceoph: you could find your sollution there [09:37] that is weird though lynet because my other pc's use 128 weo [09:38] wep* [09:38] ceoph: haven't tried it but look pretty straighforward [09:38] i even use the same password to go onto them [09:38] killakali408650: could be ascii vs hex password. [09:38] So, why are the Banshee versions on the repositories so old? [09:38] 0.13.2 vs the latest release of 0.99.2 [09:38] ascii? [09:38] I am trying to establish if it is entirely necessary to use Ubuntu Server as opposed to Ubuntu Desktop for a machine that is going to be sitting on the net ? [09:39] windows is good when it comes to this networking stuff lol [09:39] DracoZA: completly depends on what you want to use it for [09:39] killakali408650: that made me pucker. [09:39] hello [09:39] Morning :) im trying to install a program via terminal, ive done what the readme says (./configure, make, make install) but no go, id be grateful for any help :) [09:39] jbroome, virtualbox and mail server for the moment [09:39] i wonder if someone could help me [09:39] what made you a pucker jbroome? [09:39] killakali408650: Well.. For configuring wireless windows has the edge right now. [09:40] Pxrbot: Are you getting any specific error messages? [09:40] Pxrbot, gotta give us more to go on than that, what program, what errors are you getting, etc :P [09:40] DracoZA: for a mail server, you don't need a gui. I haven't used VB to know how well that works CLI only [09:40] I want in the first spqace of each line of txt make two spaces with a command in a shell [09:40] yea lol good thing i have dual booting i guess the ubuntu partition is no good when it comes to the internet connectivity [09:40] I have a nightmare trying to install wine...... [09:40] dang :( [09:40] I'm guessing if I turn off indexing of files it should increase performance by a significant amount. [09:40] of file contents even [09:40] knew i was gonna have a problem with the connectivity [09:41] jbroome, from a security point of view is Desktop secure enough ? [09:41] blankthemuffin: [09:41] airsnort is the program, but its spurting errors i dont understand (im very new to Linux) :) il try and find something i can write downabout the errors [09:41] DracoZA: should be [09:41] blankthemuffin: only if the trackerd is running.. once it's done indexing there shouldn't be any difference [09:41] DracoZA: the desktop version doesn't open any more ports to the outside by default than the server version does [09:41] Pxrbot: You can copy and past the error messages to pastebin and then link us to that [09:42] !paste | Pxrbot [09:42] Pxrbot: 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) [09:42] jbroome, sorry got yanked away from machine, yes i am currently sitting at an ubuntu machine with gui [09:42] Slart, yeah, it just seems to be taking a rather long time to index. [09:42] i guess i can't do much bout it [09:42] oh wells [09:42] blankthemuffin: you can also limit what folders the tracker indexes.. don't let it wander off to remote drives or such [09:42] moDumass: so when you hit alt-f2, a "run application" box doesn't come up? [09:42] jbroome, Ok worth a try, I have spent so much time getting to learn Desktop version without being a linux guru and now I feel like i'm starting all over again having to do everything from Terminal (which I will learn in due course) [09:42] except after touching a panel button cant use the panels [09:42] Slart, Yeah done that too. [09:42] can someon help me installing wine? [09:43] jbroome, nope nothing comes up [09:43] blankthemuffin: but before you start doing drastic things.. are you sure it's the trackerd that's slowing your machine down? checked the system monitor? [09:43] marco_ What problems are you having? [09:43] marco_: sudo apt-get install wine ... tadaaa , done [09:43] moDumass: freaky, i got nothing then. [09:43] haha [09:43] thanks [09:43] i have tried that [09:43] i have firefox though [09:43] It gave me a strange message [09:44] !paste | marco_ [09:44] marco_: 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) [09:44] marco_ What message(s) are you getting?

[09:45] marco? [09:45] ok ok [09:45] it says [09:45] Agent_bob: not really, no [09:45] E: broken packages [09:45] marco_: don't paste it here if it's more than one line.. [09:45] Agent_bob: What exactly are you trying to do? [09:45] gordonjcp i was afraid you would say that. [09:45] jbroome : thanks [09:46] ok [09:46] marco_: !pastebin the whole thing.. including the line where you type sudo apt-get etc.. [09:46] gordonjcp get qemu to alow higher than 640x480x4 rez. [09:46] Okes then, that's much better. Any more perf problems I'll blame on laptop harddrive. [09:46] Pxrbot: Did you receive any messages prior to that? [09:46] Thanks all. [09:46] Agent_bob: uhm [09:46] marco@marco-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install wine [09:46] [sudo] password for marco: [09:46] Reading package lists...

[09:46] Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have [09:46] marco_: pastebin... not paste.. [09:46] Agent_bob: check the manual for qemu regarding screen resolution [09:46] gordonjcp i am using the nv driver in xorg so win95 in the qemu can't use it's propriatary driver correctly.

[09:48] Agent_bob: you're already using a driver in xorg [09:48] test [09:48] gordonjcp yes the generic nv like i said [09:48] ghindo: good question => link /dev/cdrom1 to /dev/sr1? No idea. [09:48] uhh [09:48] greets gents. i have a ubuntu pc and a kubuntu pc, any way i can log into the remote machine and visually see kubuntu? [09:48] ghindo: me being a laptop man :-P [09:48] fixed the problem [09:48] :D [09:49] thank you lynet [09:49] this is the url http://paste.ubuntu.com/15012/ [09:49] killakali408650_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:49] Agent_bob: so install the proper nvidia driver [09:49] killakali408650_: well, what was it? [09:49] yacc: Nevermind, I figured it out myself :p Thanks for your help, though! [09:49] lol hex key [09:49] gordonjcp maybe i'd be better off using vesa in xorg ? [09:49] hah, win! [09:49] gordonjcp there is none. [09:49] yay [09:49] im :D [09:49] marco_ Tryp typing into the terminal: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [09:49] gordonjcp nv is "the proper nvidia driver" ;/ [09:50] any idea? [09:50] ok [09:50] lol im an idiot [09:50] ghindo: heres the new paste, the different install attempts were suggestions from the tech guy at uni, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15013/ this is all there is [09:50] thank you guys for all your help [09:50] I just did the latest updates for my driver and headers on ahrdy and now I'm left with white screen once gnome-session starts [09:50] Guillam3: Sure is! You can set up a VNC server [09:50] ubuntu rox now :D [09:51] !vnc | Guillam3 [09:51] Guillam3: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [09:51] Agent_bob: no, nvidia is the proper driver [09:51] driver is ATI [09:51] gordonjcp can you help me install that ? [09:51] Agent_bob: if you've got an nvidia card, you kind of need to use the binary driver [09:51] !nvidia [09:51] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:51] Pxrbot: chmod +x install_sh [09:51] i got this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15015/ [09:51] gordonjcp but my card is not supported other than the "nv" generic driver. [09:52] Agent_bob: what kind of card is it? [09:52] nvidia RIVA128 [09:52] agp [09:52] uhm [09:52] i think the latest updates blackilsted my ati card so now compiz fails to start and leaves me with a white screen? [09:52] how can I test what driver is in use?! [09:53] Agent_bob: ok, that *isn't* supported by the binary driver [09:53] i have to go [09:53] Agent_bob: basically you need a card from this century [09:53] thanks for all ur help [09:53] see ya [09:53] jbroome: chmod: cannot access `install_sh': No such file or directory comes up, should i change directory? [09:53] Agent_bob: or a little later in the last century [09:53] gordonjcp heh. finished correcting me yet ? lol [09:53] Pxrbot: you should be in the directory with install_sh when you run that command, yes [09:53] Agent_bob: without wanting to seem unduly harsh, that card *is* ten years old [09:53] marco_: can you paste the contents of your /etc/apt/source.list [09:54] marco_: Try "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade" If that doesn't work, go to Synaptic -> Edit -> Fix Broken Packages [09:54] gordonjcp so is the computer it's in. [09:54] so ? [09:54] whats the card details Agent_bob? [09:54] hold on a second ill try that [09:54] Gr3yW0lf agp 2x 16m mem [09:55] Agent_bob, you have the chip name or card retail name? [09:55] How do I upgrade from e.g. SuSE to Ubuntu but keep my RAID and /home? [09:55] Gr3yW0lf riva128 [09:56] isn't there a riva driver? [09:56] Gr3yW0lf nvidia sorry if you didn't catch that eariler [09:56] Hi guys [09:56] does anyone know how to re-label a secondary harddrive. i have it mounting to /media/storage however on the desktop its label is 320.1GB media [09:56] caper1 hye... [09:56] Bracki: I don't think you can unless your /home is on a separate partition. :/ Don't take my word for it, though [09:57] no i got that Agent_bob :).. you have tried the legacy nvidia binary driver? [09:57] :) [09:57] Gr3yW0lf yeah. [09:57] just did the latest updates on hardy and now i get a white screen after gnome-session starts. the update was for the ati flgrx driver and the linux headers. I think it blacklisted my card as glxinfo | grep direct - returns NO. how can I test what driver is in use. with compiz trying to load on startup would that leave me with a white screen? [09:57] passbe: set the label for the drive.. if it's ext3 I think there is a ext3label program [09:57] Gr3yW0lf it works for the pci riva chips but not the true agp chips [09:58] ok i got more errors [09:58] go to : [09:58] * n3uromanc3r would like to know who to beat with a large stick after mucking up his system with the latest updates. [09:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15018/ [09:59] n3uromanc3r ummm the fellow that ran the updater... ? [09:59] macro_: Did you try the thing with Synaptic? If so, did that give any error messages? Did you try installing Wine again? [09:59] passbe: e2label is the program [09:59] Agent_bob: no the idiot that blacklsited my card [09:59] I tried that fix broken packages but nothing..... http://paste.ubuntu.com/15018/ [10:00] Slart: just found it thank you [10:00] jbroome: im in the correct directory by the looks of it now, but comes up with http://paste.ubuntu.com/15020/ :S === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [10:01] there used to be linux support for my card. i don't know why they dropped it. nor when exactly. [10:01] the new xorg.conf layout has cryptic entries like " Device "Configured Video Device"" how do I get access to more detailed information? [10:01] Pxrbot: i have no idea what's going on. [10:01] marco_: I'm not sure what to do at this point, then. I would post on the forums and file a bug report. === yesudeep1 is now known as yesudeep [10:02] is rate aint it ? [10:02] anyone know the replacement of "curl --binary-data @filename" using libcurl in php ? [10:03] jbroome: nor me :) ive only been using Linux for a few days, so i think its probably something im doing,il try from the beggining, thanks for all your help :) [10:03] ..test [10:03] Agent_bob , perhaps you could try forcing the legacy driver to use its agp suppoprt rather then the one in the linux kernel, or vise versa .. READMEs for doing that for particular versions are here : ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/ [10:03] Any one else might know why sometimes apps keep on crashing? like i try to turn on terminal it launches and goes blank [10:03] I think i will star all over again [10:04] intall ubuntu and check all updates [10:04] if that doesnt work [10:04] well lets see [10:04] marco_: Make sure to file a bug report, though. In case other people are having the same problem [10:04] !launchpad | marco_ [10:04] marco_: Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [10:04] marco_: have you pasted your sources.list? I missed [10:05] no i havent [10:05] ubuntu is starting to turn a devout follower into a sceptic here. I don't mind learning how to use an ubuntu system from the groundup. but I do mind having to learn how to do somehting I already knew how to do in the previous version again everytime they release a new version. this is NOT linux for human beings.! [10:05] hoe doi file a bug report? [10:05] Pxrbot: did you happen to read the INSTALL file in the airsnort dir? [10:06] n3uromanc3r: file a bug [10:06] i have just started with this OS yesterday thats why iam bit lost [10:06] jatt: yeah I seem to be doing that alot recently [10:06] Hey guys. I hope you're having a good day or night.. My ethernet card is not recognized. It comes up in lspci as Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 05) [10:06] jbroome: yeah, it tells me to do ./configure, make, make install [10:06] marco_: To be fair, it is a bit of a tough problem [10:07] Pxrbot: do you have build-essential installed? === marko_ is now known as marko-_- [10:07] marco_: please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file. there is something really wrong with your package db [10:07] Any one else might know why sometimes apps keep on crashing? like i try to turn on terminal it launches and goes blank...after that i always need to restart it... [10:07] restart ubuntu* [10:07] Pxrbot: and the pre-reqs listed in the README [10:08] jbroome:iii guess so, but knowing me i havnt, il check synaptics and the readme :) [10:08] Pxrbot: Could you just post the entire README file on pastebin? [10:08] jatt: the bug appears to be ubuntu. I keep convincing friends that ubuntu is ready for the mainstream. lol. why do I keep kidding myself [10:08] n3uromanc3r: you can also stick to a LTS version. I use Dapper since years without upgrading to another release and works as I expect. [10:08] there ugo [10:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15028/ [10:09] lol [10:09] jatt: erm this IS a LTS lol [10:09] i was getting less crashes with XP than ubuntu now [10:09] n3uromanc3r what is "mainstream" ? [10:09] something is wrong for sure [10:09] i have mathematica .nb files, which program can i use to read them (free) [10:09] doesnt seem stable enough for me [10:09] ghindo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15029/ [10:09] Agent_bob: the old "the year of the linux desktop" [10:09] lw0x15: have you tested your memory lately? [10:09] marco_: must be something wrong with your connection, i'm able to hit that wine repo fine [10:10] billybongo: i dunno, i forget [10:10] billybob, what do you mean by tested [10:10] jbroome: laugh? I nearly forgot. [10:10] umm [10:10] I am an avid supporter of open source, don't get me wrong, but this is the reason why people jump ship [10:10] lw0x15: memtest or similar [10:10] marco_: do you really need the upstream version? [10:10] ok [10:10] prodigel: Thank you for your link but I'm front of strange problem [10:10] ill restart ubuntu and try memtest [10:10] marco_: why are you pulling hardy on a gutsy system? [10:11] *hardy package [10:11] i just hate spending 3 hours a day dealing with a list of problems ongoing forever and ever and thats what you have to commit to to use linux [10:11] frequent crashes in any OS are often attributable to memory errors [10:11] Pxrbot: What happens when you type in "sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8"? [10:11] ceoph: what problem? [10:11] i just want to run few .exe here [10:11] take a look at my /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/m44a8252d - it states WW) fglrx(0): could not detect X server version (query_status=-3) which means fglrx is broken. [10:11] gnu/linux has evolved a lot, ten years ago there was no near support or tools like today to install gnu/linux, you are lucky to use it now :) [10:11] but dont know ... [10:11] billybongo: that or overheating [10:12] i have mathematica .nb files, what program can i use to read them (free) [10:12] prodigel: synergy app is bugged. To run it correctly, you must start it with root priv. Or if you use gdm conf files, all script runs after logging are under user identity. [10:12] (e.g. old slackware and yggdrasil distros). [10:12] marco_: change that wine.budgetdedicated.com line to gutsy, and you should be in business [10:12] i tried different version of wine but its always the same problem with that broken packages [10:12] marco_: if you use the wine that's packaged into ubuntu, you won't have this problem [10:12] So how can I run after session login (gdm) a script with root priv, without typping sudo password ? [10:12] ghindo: E: Malformed line 77 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse) E: The list of sources could not be read. comes up [10:13] ffmpeg from mediaubuntu doesn't come with faad support ? [10:13] marco_: also, as jbroome noted, you are trying to install the wrong version [10:13] Hey guys. I hope you're having a good day or night.. My ethernet card is not recognized. It comes up in lspci as Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 05) [10:13] jatt: you have stuck to one LTS so you wouldn't see the alarming trend of completely changing the way ubuntu works that has been implemented. I now dread updating to a new version as it has great benefits but you will be LOST [10:13] which version is the suitable for ubuntu? [10:13] marco_: for the version you're running, gutsy [10:14] n3uromanc3r: why would he be lost? [10:14] n3uromanc3r: nothing is particularly different [10:14] Hi, I'm having a problem with VLC outputting center channel audio to my left speaker ;( [10:14] marco_: you should in the very least use the package that is meant to run in your version of ubuntu (gutsy, not hardy) [10:14] gordonjcp: i disagree [10:14] how did you add wine's repository? [10:14] ceoph: one quick sollution would be to suid your app [10:14] n3uromanc3r: [10:14] ceoph: but that's a potential security risk [10:14] ok i will go to the webpoage of wine hq to get that gutsy v. ok [10:15] marco_: you also have to remove the one you have, otherwise it will get precedence [10:15] gordonjcp: take the new xorg.conf layout has cryptic entries like " Device "Configured Video Device"" how do I get access to more detailed information? this is different no?! [10:15] marco_: you could alter your /etc/apt/sources [10:15] n3uromanc3r: it's not different at all [10:15] how do i remove it? [10:15] n3uromanc3r: some things get called different names. RTFM. [10:16] ok.. is there any alternatives to memtest \? [10:16] lol [10:16] gordonjcp: this used to be filled with detailed info. now it is not [10:16] n3uromanc3r: why are you messing about with xorg.cof anyway?

[10:16] lol [10:17] i can no longer see flash, what gives? [10:17] n3uromanc3r: you should look for information elsewhere, for example, with lshw [10:17] n3uromanc3r: leave xorg.conf alone, unless you've got good reason to poke about in there [10:17] yes I know how to find infomation regarding hardware [10:17] n3uromanc3r: so what's your point then? [10:17] I know what I'm doing in xorg too thank you very much [10:17] done it [10:17] n3uromanc3r: obviously you don't, or you wouldn't be whining about it [10:18] n3uromanc3r: what exactly got you lost about? [10:18] my point is I'm just a bit annoyed at the latest updates messing up my flgrx setup [10:18] now gnome fails to start [10:18] marco_: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade === Squawk_ is now known as Squawk [10:19] gordonjcp: you don't seem to be paying any attention w/s/e [10:19] how to use wpa2 with 7.04-genome?

My ethernet card is not recognized. It comes up in lspci as Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 05) [10:20] gordonjcp, FF 3 beta 5 [10:20] n3uromanc3r, goto #ubuntu_moaners :P [10:20] I agree it is a pain in the neck, but I would say the only thing you can do is to file a bug or wait if someone in this channel (or forums) has solved a similar issue. [10:21] melch: what comes out if you do "lsmod | grep e100" in a terminal? [10:21] melch: that's an odd problem since the ee pro 100 is a pretty common card [10:21] ! flash [10:21] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [10:21] Hi, whats the ubuntu/linux command to check a drive for errors (and recover them)? fdisk?

I tried and it gave me a mounted filesystem warning. [10:24] n3uromanc3r: and your point? [10:24] gordonjcp: now I don't want to see Configured Video Device. I want to see actual information relating to what device is specified. [10:24] Peppery`: yes, needs to be run under SU [10:24] n3uromanc3r: the first file is full of lots of pointless rubbish [10:24] Peppery`: are you fsck'ing the root fs? [10:24] philsf: what am i looking for. Cause typing all this up is rediculous [10:25] philsf: he's all yours, i'm going to bed. :) [10:25] n3uromanc3r: so add in the oldfashioned definitions then [10:25] n3uromanc3r: no-one's stopping you [10:25] jbroome: night :) [10:25] no no no that's the wrong answer [10:25] philsf: because I'm getting weird errors at startup that ubuntu usually does a fsck for me on, but it didnt seem to do it this time. (unclean shutdown, ssd, etc) [10:25] melch: paste the whole thing, don't type [10:26] n3uromanc3r: if you can't be bothered to learn how to do it properly, do it the old way [10:26] the right answer is: file a bug so the ubuntu developers are aware of the issue and they can fix it. [10:26] philsf: how can i when the computer lacks a ethernet card..... [10:26] gordonjcp: I'm just saying. you learn how to use something and then what you learnt is of no use. this is not a good approach to take on the distro designed for new users [10:26] Peppery`: could you paste the warning, please? [10:26] n3uromanc3r: you could even install X11R4 if you really want [10:26] philsf: i am typing it into the paste bin [10:26] n3uromanc3r: === tesa is now known as tesa_GBU [10:26] how do i find out the ip address of my computer doenst work with ifconfig need it to try out nmap on my computer [10:26] n3uromanc3r: things change [10:26] melch: how many lines are there? [10:26] done i removed that wine hq [10:26] n3uromanc3r: I do a lot of work on cars, and I grew up with cars that had carburettors and contact breaker ignition [10:26] when gnome stops to work that isn't called "change" but "Bug". [10:27] feature [10:27] regression [10:27] n3uromanc3r: now cars have fuel injection and wasted spark electronic ignition with one coil per pair of cylinders [10:27] gordonjcp: I know. things do change. my pc worked this morning. now it doesn't. hurray. now I spend most of my day off fixing somehting that wasn't broken. cheers ubuntu devs nice 1 [10:27] n3uromanc3r: guess what? I had to learn how to work on the new stuff too [10:27] philsf: my ubuntu system is in single user mode, but it goes something like "WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue?" [10:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15041/ [10:27] n3uromanc3r: i may have missed this, but did you boot with the older kernel? [10:28] thats the source list [10:28] n3uromanc3r: it must have been broken if the update broke it [10:28] gordonjcp: look I am not trying to be obnoxious here, I love to learn but fixing something that wasn't broken is not my idea of sound methods [10:28] Peppery`: can you umount it, or is it the / ? [10:28] melch: please, don't type [10:28] jbroome no [10:28] philsf: /, i guess. [10:28] gordonjcp: no it was working fine [10:28] how do i find out the ip address of my computer doenst work with ifconfig need it to try out nmap on my computer [10:28] n3uromanc3r: had you changed it manually? [10:28] melch: is there a line starting with e100? [10:28] gordonjcp: it appears that the update either blacklsited the card or broke flgrx [10:28] gordonjcp: nop [10:28] philsf: hang on almost done [10:28] Peppery`: what command did you issue, exactly? [10:28] Neulingg: www.ipchicken.com ? [10:29] philsf: just fsck [10:29] n3uromanc3r: fglrx is broken anyway [10:29] n3uromanc3r: I'm increasingly convinced that fglrx is an elaborate hoax [10:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15042/ [10:29] gordonjcp: I really sincerely hope you can see my frustration. I LOVE ubuntu and have been singing its praises since dapper [10:29] philsf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15042/ [10:29] Peppery`: well there must me possible to find it out over the terminal or not??? [10:29] gordonjcp: :p [10:30] melch: line 6 doesn't look good [10:30] gordonjcp: now you're going to tell me I should use nvidia. i know this already! hahaha [10:30] jbroome: I know i want to know how to fix it [10:30] melch: eeprom corrupted doesn't look good [10:30] melch: probably a bad card, got another? [10:30] melch: sorry, can't help you [10:30] * philsf points to the hw dept [10:31] I asked this in #eeepc but got no response: I'm trying to boot the alternate installer off a usb stick i prepared with unetbootin, the eeepc is sitting there with a flashing cursor and flashing activity light on the flash drive, and its done this for 30mins? Did i perhaps prepare the bootable usb stick incorrectly? [10:31] philsf: can u tell me what eeprom is? [10:31] philsf: should I be doing something differently? [10:31] Peppery`: don't know, you didn't tell me what you did [10:31] melch electronically erasable programmable read only memory i believe [10:31] Peppery`: you need to tell fdisk which partition to check. [10:31] philsf: just fsck [10:31] so, fsck /dev/sda ? [10:31] melch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM [10:32] gordonjcp: looks liek the kernel module isn't available [10:32] Peppery`: that's a drive [10:32] melch: it's hardware that seems to be FUBAR [10:32] jbroome: /dev/sda1? [10:32] jbroome: works in windows [10:32] Peppery`: are you using the same computer now? [10:32] n3uromanc3r: hm, that's odd [10:32] Peppery`: that is indeed a partition, i don't know what that's mounted as on your machine. [10:32] n3uromanc3r: is it a very old card? [10:32] anybody knows how to config the wpa2 in wlan? [10:33] Peppery`: please paste the results of "sudo fdisk -l" [10:33] gordonjcp: If i install ubuntu on a friends laptop, a friend who knows nothing and doesn't want to learn then having it work one day and not the next is very bad form no? it would put them off. agreed? [10:33] gordonjcp: x880 xt so yeah sorta [10:33] gordonjcp: x800 sorry [10:33] n3uromanc3r: no, because if you haven't messed about with the config it won't break [10:33] PhilKC: /dev/sda1 * 1 486 3903763+ 83 Linux [10:34] gordonjcp: its an old ati agp card [10:34] gordonjcp: I can honestly say I haven't touched a thing [10:34] philsf: no, different computer [10:34] jbroome: that is what it is mounted as [10:34] Peppery`: the computer you're trying to fix is in single user now? [10:34] n3uromanc3r: odd, I've got an ATI card in my laptop and it's absolutely fine [10:35] dammit, I've managed to break various apps by uninstalling some library. Is there a classic method for resolving this? [10:35] philsf: yes [10:35] osfameron: reinstall the library? [10:35] gordonjcp: I recently reinstalled and haven't even rolled back from the backup [10:35] dammit, even uninstalling and reinstalling quodlibet, it's still broken [10:35] gordonjcp: just installed codecs and driver [10:35] gordonjcp: yeah, but I don't know which one. And shouldn't installing the app magically pull in the correct library? [10:35] hello [10:35] osfameron: it should do [10:36] What i can install ubuntu on root crypt partytuons usb? [10:36] maybe the error you get will give you a clue [10:36] gordonjcp: I'm getting " version PNG12_0 not defined in file libpng12.so.0 with link time reference" [10:36] gordonjcp: should have gone pretty smooth as there has been no tinkering under the hood (yet!) [10:36] hello everyone [10:36] gordonjcp: should I just uninstall libpng and reinstall? [10:36] osfameron: o_O [10:36] Peppery`: what is the exact command you issued that gave the warning? [10:36] osfameron: yeah, that would be my first attempt [10:36] !language [10:36] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [10:36] philsf: fsck, fsck /dev/sda1 both give it [10:37] ok, how about umout /dev/sda1 [10:37] * osfameron tries reinstalling libpng1.2... [10:37] that works [10:37] Peppery`: sorry, umount /dev/sda1 [10:37] hmm, that doesn't work [10:37] philsf: I assumed you meant that [10:37] Peppery`: ok, so try fsck /dev/sda1 now [10:37] there we go :) [10:38] gordonjcp: no joy :-( [10:38] Peppery`: works good? [10:38] philsf: yes, thank you very much :) [10:38] Peppery`: np [10:39] hi ... a question regarding bind9 (on hardy): would recommend running bind within a chroot-env or is using apparmor "enough"? [10:41] hi [10:42] osfameron: no idea then, try googling the error [10:42] hi, anybody knows a tool who can give me a boot benchmark ? [10:42] marco_: did you manage to install wine?

I have had this service for free with orange.fr , no the sods are charging for it without telling you [10:43] i have to wait to see what happens [10:43] gordonjcp: turns out something is well and truly bodged lol [10:43] Can I only allow only certain people in it? [10:44] gordonjcp: take a look at this output from dmesg | grep fglrx http://pastebin.com/m7a3c6d1b [10:44] n3uromanc3r: uhm, ok [10:45] n3uromanc3r: are you actually trying to use a Linux kernel, and not for instance FreeBSD or some washing machine firmware? [10:45] I have problem with flgrx and ubuntu and could do with some assistance, it would appear from a professional too. output from dmesg | grep fglrx http://pastebin.com/m7a3c6d1b [10:45] gordonjcp: lol yes. this is out-of-the-box [10:45] jatt: smbmount for mounting samba shares.

[11:05] n3uromanc3r: you are using this driver ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.47.3. As to why it seems to fail at the end... maybe you need the restricted modules package or something [11:07] hey all, im modumass and i cant use xchat because i somehow mashed my clock button and when i click it i cant use my panels anymore [11:07] erUSUL: I have linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-generic [11:07] so no menus or applications [11:07] please help me people [11:08] evilsherpa: You did what? what about a clock? [11:08] Flannel, you know the clock on your taskbar, or menu bar [11:08] whatever these bars are called in linux [11:08] n3uromanc3r: then dunno :| never used the fglrx driver [11:09] if i click on mine my machine spazzes oujt [11:09] evilsherpa there called panels [11:09] i know, sorry ive been saying panels for ages and no one reacted so i thought that i may be mistaken [11:10] evilsherpa you could try cont alt backspace to restart the x session [11:10] but yeh, i added clock and calander to one of my panels but if i click on it my panels stop reacting [11:10] koshari, i have to hard reboot everytime to get it back, restarting x restarts it without any panels at all === sivchand is now known as TheOne === TheOne is now known as Okkadu [11:11] evilsherpa looks like something is amiss there.... [11:11] indeed there is [11:11] evilsherpa can you delete the panel and create a new one? [11:11] i deleted the sunbird dir from my /opt/ dir [11:12] koshari ive done that too [11:12] and everything works perfectly until i touch the clock [11:12] and unfortunately i do that quite often [11:12] evilsherpa kill the clock then === zak2 is now known as llama32 [11:12] so i thought i might reinstall sunbird [11:13] koshari no, thats not fixing it [11:13] thats just ignoring it [11:13] evilsherpa whats sunbird got to do with it [11:13] the folder that i deleted was the sunbird dir (sunbird is mozillas calendar application) [11:14] evilsherpa clock version Clock 2.22.1.3? [11:14] and i think the calendar had somehow integrated with the desktop calendar, [11:14] koshari how would i tell? [11:14] evilsherpa are you talking the default gnome clock or the sunbird calender? [11:15] koshari, im talking about the default clock, which i would click 1nce to access the calendar [11:15] and i think when i deleted the sunbird dir in /opt/ i somehow destroyed something [11:15] evilsherpa ok then again whats this got to fdo with sunbird? [11:16] when i click the clock 1nce now it doesnt call up sunbird like it used to, now it freeses my whole pannel [11:18] is there something like a net install version of ubuntu where i can pick and choose packages to be installed? is that what the 'alternate install' disc is? [11:19] !minimal | ceil420 [11:19] ceil420: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [11:19] so im not sure but i would think that whatever calls sunbird is not finding sunbird and may be spazzing out [11:19] cheers [11:19] wow <10mb [11:19] gordonjcp: I fixed it by installing fglrx envy version and all is ok. weird [11:19] hello, how do you put a equaliser on rhythmbox or all the sound output from my pc? [11:20] Is there a https page with checksums available? [11:20] Now I don't really know where to go to ask for this, so I'll ask you guys. I got one of those rar files, with like a 100 parts and whatnot, how do I unpack them correctly? [11:21] saint___, unrar -e somefile.rar [11:21] saint___, it'll auto-extract the .r00-rXX files [11:21] saint___: unrar the first one.

[11:31] hi all, i was wondering if someone could give me a hand... i installed apache2 and completely buggered it up so i did an apt-get remove and removed the apache2 directory in /etc/... now when i reinstall apache2 via apt i cant get it back... is there any way i can get the apache2 directory back? [11:32] Slasher`: that depends on the file system. [11:32] my epson stylus c45 printer is not printing black [11:32] well, i think its ext3... its ubuntu server 7.10 [11:33] Slasher`: maybe you want to do a "sudo apt-get purge apache2" [11:33] ok i'll try that, thanks magnetron [11:33] Slasher`: .... [11:33] Slasher`: purge does a complete removal, including the settings files [11:33] Slasher`: you should explain your problem better, because you are getting odd instructions. [11:33] i did it with --purge before, is that just the same as purge? [11:33] sorry ick [11:34] magnetron? are you the same guy how helped me on the puppy forum? [11:34] i installed apache2.. played about with some stuff and totally messed it all up so i uninstalled it and removed /etc/apache2 [11:34] Slasher`: there are some recovery tools for Windows, but they are targeted at ext2 and they don't work too good. [11:34] now when i apt-get install apache2 i cant get /etc/apache2 back for some reason [11:34] no European-African, i don [11:34] Slasher`: what's your definition of "back"? [11:34] European-African: i don't do forums [11:34] Slasher`: when you delete a file, it's gone, generally. [11:35] get the directory back with the default settings in it [11:35] Slasher`: that is easy. [11:35] magnetron: sorry, I meant irc! [11:35] so i can try again at setting it up [11:35] Slasher`: if you already removed the package, just reinstall it. [11:35] sure you do [11:36] i tried but it doesn't put the apache2 folder in /etc again [11:36] European-African: i'm not in the puppylinux channels either. it must have been someone else [11:36] oh [11:36] Slasher`: the config stuff is in the -common package i think [11:37] hi .. my dvd rom drive doesnt read any disks .. its probably because i was messing around with it tryingto read write dvd-ram which worked by the way but now any cd or dvd that i insert it wont recognise .. how do i reset it back to how it was before ?

[12:22] iv_: check /usr/share/doc/packagename/* for license of each package [12:22] ifconfig not ipconfig [12:22] adam7, understood sir [12:22] adam7: i have no working ubuntu distro at hand right now... my server is in dpkg --reconfigure, and my laptop just failed 1 file on the 8.04 cd... [12:22] K-4U: if you don't have it in a Linux machine then googling the model and *exact* revision (different revisions of the same card can and do have differetn chips) should help [12:23] koshari: i guess its the rw .. ill try removing that .. and get back to u [12:23] robg_: thanks - but i mean a licence only [12:23] whats the most convenient and user friendly way of forwarding a port on a ubuntu machine? [12:23] iv: I believe it is offered free of charge. [12:23] is anyone familiar with LinuxMCE? [12:23] Vegombrei it stands to reason you cannot mount an optical disc read write! [12:23] erUSUL: no such thing as a licence for whole ubuntu? [12:24] iv_: each piece of software in ubuntu has its own license [12:24] iv_: No, Ubuntu is merely the sum of its parts [12:24] it's free.. i must be sure for 101% to use it in an office [12:24] iv_: It is. [12:24] koshari: yeah but in case of dvd ram its gotta be read write [12:24] iv_: *most* of it is GPL or LGPL or similar, though [12:24] iv_: it is impossible every program has its own license. GPL MIT BSD etc [12:24] ok, get it [12:24] koshari: it worked !!!! [12:24] iv_: and you have to respect it you can not relicense all ubuntu [12:25] iv: the structure is open source but you dress it up with restricted drivers which are commercial. [12:25] K-4U: It doesn't have to be Ubuntu specifically, most Live Linux distros will have lspci [12:25] Hi there, we are having problems booting ltsp clients after upgrade from gutsy to Hardy. ltsp-update-sshkeys and ltsp-update-image were run. We now have thwe following message when ctla-altf1 on terminal: mount:Mounting /nbd0 on /rofs failed :invalid argument. Any ideas. [12:25] * Vegombrei thaks koshari for all his help .. thanks bro [12:25] where can i put wpa2 questions, guys? [12:25] LSD|Ninja: I can't get IN linux :| that's the problem... [12:25] thanks a lot - that all i need to know :) [12:26] iv_: as long as you use only the main repo, you'll definitely be fine. the software in universe is all free to, and multiverse isn't (someone correct me if I have that wrong) [12:26] K-4U: not even from a LiveCD? [12:26] Who should i set as owner of my disk? [12:26] LSD|Ninja: No.. the live cd fails... better burn it again at low speed... [12:26] K-4U: It doesn't have to be current, if your 8.04 disc doesn't work use the 7.10 one instead [12:26] adam7: multiverse has patent problems not license problems [12:26] erUSUL: ah, ok :) I knew it was something like that [12:26] LSD|Ninja: Even THAT one won't work... that's the problem:S [12:26] adam7: and depends on the country you live in [12:26] adam7: to get reasonable graphics you need Sun Java which is a comemrcial product. [12:27] how do you need java to get graphics? [12:27] * adam7 is confused [12:27] I have a bit of a problem getting my wireless network to work on my new laptop, anyone able to help with that? [12:27] lol @ adam7 [12:27] ***adam7 is confused +1 [12:27] what is your problem? [12:27] robg: the open source products comes with OpenJDK which is ugly so you want to change that to Sun Java which is nice. [12:28] koshari: how do i backup the original ?? ive already made changes [12:28] It woun't find the wireless network [12:28] K-4U: Do you have working Linux LIveCDs? Any will do, it doesn't strictly have to be Ubuntu [12:28] hello is anyone familiar with Linux [12:28] LSD|Ninja: no.. [12:28] what? [12:28] Brian23: there are 1318 people in this channel that are, yes. [12:28] hi all [12:28] adam7: beat me to it :P [12:28] what might cause me to get a "Permission denied" error when trying to run a program as root? it is +x and the partition is not mounted noexec. this is an almost pristine install of ubuntu hardy server [12:28] Anyone into ownership? [12:29] adam7: you forgot to let himself out... [12:29] robg_: wouldn't installing the sun version of java only prettify the java apps? [12:29] Vegombrei sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak [12:29] K-4U: true :/ [12:29] hi anybody know how to use a mouse? [12:29] phallus_worl: ... [12:29] ... [12:29] adam7: I am in Europe and I simply install the best stuff from Medibuntu. [12:29] :-D joke [12:29] hello is anyone familiar with linux MCE? [12:29] … [12:29] Brian23: only Ubuntu in here [12:29] :D [12:29] !ot [12:29] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [12:30] Vegombrei so fstab.bak would become your backup === pen_ is now known as pen [12:30] Anyone into ownership? [12:30] !ask | magnus__1 [12:30] magnus__1: 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. :-) [12:30] 0.o [12:30] magnus__1 yeah i own a boat [12:30] magnus__1: ##bsdm is over there --> [12:30] wow === nico_ is now known as nico|afk [12:30] does anyone want my root pw [12:30] lol [12:30] hm [12:30] any one knows where to input the key for wpa2? [12:30] LSD|Ninja: LoL joker [12:31] HardyHuman: whats a root password ? [12:31] 0.o [12:31] OK: who should own my disk? [12:31] wangfg: in the wireless network manager, presumably [12:31] wangfg: you should be able to just pick the WPA2 network out of hte list and enter the key the same way as with WPA, WEP or whatever [12:31] magnus__1: you, probably? [12:31] adam7: i mean root or the user= I ? [12:32] magnus__1: that depends [12:32] gordonjcp: on what? [12:32] magnus__1: on what part of the disk you're talking about [12:32] magnus__1: oh :D I was confused, sorry. probably root for security reasons, although gordonjcp might have a good reason otherwise... [12:32] HardyHuman: hey how do i know whats my root password ? [12:32] magnus__1 i would say there is likely a group called disks [12:32] Vegombrei: there isn't one in Ubuntu, although you can create one [12:32] !sudo | Vegombrei [12:32] Vegombrei: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [12:32] Vegombrei: Ubuntu has no root password defined as standard [12:33] oh ok thanks [12:33] LSD|Ninja: problem is that there is no such item in list in nm [12:33] And a locked root account. [12:33] gordonjcp: the whole disk mounted in /media... [12:33] gordonjcp: its just shared stuff on it [12:33] Hello [12:33] yup [12:33] koshari: whats that group for [12:34] I just installed ubuntu 8 for a friend on a Thinkpad T41 and there is no sound? [12:34] Does it need a seperate driver? [12:34] wangfg: then you can't pick up that network [12:34] Is it possible to remove pulse audio from hardy? [12:34] * dougsko solved his problem. encfs mounts have different permissions after all [12:34] hello where does kaffeine store its settings? [12:34] I installed ubuntu many times on my old x31 which was fine [12:34] i am using my Ubuntu 7.10 machine as file server on my windows network. Is there virus protection available(for Linux) that will be able to still keep my exe's safe? [12:34] knifepoint: yep -- the question is, why do you need to? :P [12:34] gordonjcp: there is no such choice in the list,but there is wireless lan [12:34] bazzieb: yep [12:34] !antivirus | bazzieb [12:34] bazzieb: antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus [12:35] sweet [12:35] gordonjcp: like wep [12:35] I sync the / in other pc with rsync [12:35] Can anyone help me to get sound working on an T41? [12:35] been a help as always [12:35] use grsync its easier [12:35] adam7: what security reasons? [12:35] bazzieb: scanning windows exes is about the only purpose of virus scanners in linux. [12:35] where does kaffeine store its settings? its noe ~/.kaffeine [12:35] wangfg: use wpa [12:35] but in the log appears kernel: [ 487.605588] atl1 0000:04:00.0: tx busy [12:35] gordonjcp: why? if i missing something [12:36] adam7: because even when i change all the defaults to alsa. programs eg. mplayer, totem, vlc all default to pulse audio. And for some reason pulse audio sounds terrible compared to the standard alsa [12:36] magnus__1: i dont know i was guessing, a lot of hardware is owned by groups such as scanners ect, and to access them you become a mamber of the group, its a way of letting multile users access control to certain hardware. [12:36] magnus__1: if you're talking about the device nodes (the stuff in /dev), you don't want other people messing with them [12:36] heya... i'm on 8.04 upgraded from 7.10. rhythmbox is freezing every time i try and play music. any ideas? [12:36] because that's what your access point is using [12:36] if you had to sync / of ubuntu which files will exclude to avoid errors? [12:36] koshari: okui [12:36] gordonjcp: i have tried wpa_client, but it make me confused too [12:36] knifepoint: feel free to uninstall pulseaudio in the package manager [12:36] wangfg: hm [12:36] adam7: i do realise its just a wrapper but for some reason i loose volume and i also loose surround sound support when running through pulse [12:36] !alsa > knifepoint [12:36] wangfg: I don't know then, I don't actually use WPA or recommend its use [12:37] gordonjcp: why don't you recommend wpa? [12:37] how to fake hostname? [12:37] adam7: because it's pathetically slow, and just as insecure as WEP [12:37] adam7: ok but i was talking about disks as they are mounted in /media not the device files.. [12:37] !hostname | archman [12:37] archman: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [12:37] gordonjcp: is wpa a application? [12:37] Need some help. Have fu¤%& up my system... Tried to upgrade chroot to accept x11vnc for tcm but now all I get is BusyBox and initramfs on my thin clients. Im a newbie. Is there a way to remove all ltsp settings and reinstall default system? [12:37] gordonjcp: WPA2 as well then? [12:37] join #ubuntu-de [12:37] wangfg: WPA is kind of an application, WPA2 is implemented in hardware [12:38] adam7: no, WPA2 actually does decent encryption [12:38] adam7: wpa is way to better than wep, believe... [12:38] archman: I would agree there [12:38] magnus__1 for the record there isnt a disks group but there is a fuse group [12:38] ubottu: will hostname be reset after reboot? [12:38] archman: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:38] fuse is for using fuse filesystems [12:38] is there really no one who can help me get sound working on a thinkpad t41? [12:38] gordonjcp: i cannot change it, it is the public protocol [12:38] I just switched this guy from windows to linux [12:38] I dont want him to switch back [12:38] Hello [12:39] How much disk space is generally needed for the packages for a web server running rails, lampp, etc? [12:39] archman: If you change it in those two places, no, it will not be reset after a reboot. [12:39] Pici: thanks [12:39] I just wanted to knox if any of you have some probleme with medibuntu and its key not working? [12:39] koshari: there was a "disk" group actually. they own all my disks. [12:39] Emry: just select the packages in the package manager, and hit install. It'll tell you how much when asking for confirmation to install [12:39] adam7: if i choose to remove pulseaudio it appears it will remove ubuntu-desktop is this correct? [12:39] Pici: if i hostname <***> hostname will be reser after reboot? [12:40] knifepoint: yep, shouldn't be a problem though [12:40] puckman: which version of ubuntu are you on? [12:40] archman: What does <***> mean? [12:40] puckman: it's quite hard to help without a clear description of the problem [12:40] Pici: some name [12:40] hi [12:40] sorry [12:40] adam7, :P I am making preparations to request my service provider to switch the OS on my server. I wanted to try to do a little research first. At the moment they are running an abomination. :P [12:40] archman: No, this would be a permanent hostname change. [12:40] its for this sweet old guy we have at work, he cleans here [12:40] adam7: im sorry? it seems like a big problem to me theres a fair few packages installed there [12:40] bad eyes and I thought ubuntu would be ideal for him [12:40] Emry: ok, I'll check for you. Just Lamp and Ruby? [12:40] I just installed a 8.0.4 [12:41] fresh of the cd, ran the updates [12:41] knifepoint: uninstalling ubuntu desktop won't uninstall all the packages [12:41] magnus__1 ok well it looks like it was a good guess, i had to play round with the scanner and ieee1394 groupd recently so it was logical there was a disks group [12:41] adam7: ok thanks for that [12:41] archman: check the message ubotu sent you about hostname. it explains exactly what to do [12:41] puckman: what have you tried so far? [12:41] puckman: my guess you are on hardy [12:41] nothing, i tried looking online [12:41] any ntfs-3g user here? [12:41] hi [12:41] ok [12:41] Lamp, Ruby, the nfs related deamons, And I can estimate high after that to allow for anything else that comes to whim. :P [12:41] blessed_guess: how can I see if its hardy [12:41] magnus__1 i would imagine your a member of the disks group [12:41] GNOME terminal reports Current locale= ANSI_X3.4-1968. How can I change Current locale to de_DE.UTF-8? [12:42] copying from my ext3 partition to a ntfs partition using ntfs-3g puts the files always with root user. [12:42] ah yes, its hardy [12:42] do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature) [12:42] koshari: group is called "disk" not "disks" btw :) [12:42] puckman: click on system then preference then sound [12:42] puckman: what kernel version? [12:42] Emry: looking like about 130mb [12:42] puckman, Is he added to the audio group? [12:42] Emry: I might not have gotten all the rails packages though [12:42] Good day to everyone. I am looking for assistance with rdesktop. Installed 8.0.4 recently and what worked in 7.0.10 does not working for me now. Assistance would be apreciated allot. [12:42] adam7, Cool, so if I allow about 10 or 15 gigs, that should be more than enough. [12:42] Pici: so i just edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and then hostname <***> and it's changed? [12:43] Emry: far more than enough [12:43] blessed_guess: done [12:43] I just want to be able to give them explicit instructions. I hate doing an install blind, but there is no way I am making it to their datacenter. :P [12:43] Pici: also, will that new hastname appear on network logs? [12:43] Emry: you can get the whole ubuntu install in 1/3 of that [12:43] puckman: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24758 [12:43] puckman: on the devices tab select alsa on all [12:44] archman: Yes, and it depends. [12:44] how do i check who is in a group. [12:44] magnus__1: cat /etc/group [12:44] ty [12:44] adam7, Right now the poor machine is running CentOS.... One should administer their machine, not fight with it. :/ [12:44] Pici: i need change my hostname for router logs... [12:45] woeha :| my ubuntu box just started running XP? :| [12:45] Yes, poor machine indeed…having to bear the pain of CentOS isn't easy. [12:45] Hehehe. The community is not as supportive as most Linux distros... [12:45] O.o Their community is not as supportive as the Windows community... :( And I wish that was just me being pesimistic. [12:45] there is not anyone in the disk group .. why is there then such a group .. :/ ??? [12:46] do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature)? [12:46] Anyone able to assist me with terminal server client please? [12:46] anyone know how to find disk block sizes etc for recovery of reiserfs file system superblock on ubuntu? what tools to use? [12:46] waaarrgggjjjjjjjj :| this is the second CD i screw up :| [12:46] blessed_guess: lol, silly me, tried a few of the options and now have sound [12:46] puckman: the default mixer tracks select capture: alsa pcm on front:0 [12:46] Bhlynd, There should be at least one built directly into the OS. What do you need to know? [12:46] K-4U: cdrw :) [12:46] It takes forever to install anything.. Does anyone else have problems with the server? apt-get is just saying this: "0% [Connecting to no.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:700:300:1800::b)]" [12:46] adam7: they are all already screwedup... [12:47] Pici: is there a way to fake my host name? It's like, i have 'that' hostname, but other is shown? [12:47] bullgard4: sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf (and maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [12:47] Emry, I get an error when attempting to connect. May I show tyou this? [12:47] lappy198: try a different server? [12:47] ??? why are there groups without members :/ ??? [12:47] adam7, I have.. I tried both se and no [12:47] Ubuntu so rocks === moe_ is now known as |moe| [12:47] magnus__1 permissions are quite complicated, [12:47] hi there. are the gnome applets writing some kind of log-files? [12:47] the guy is 78 years old, could not figure out windows [12:47] If it is just a line or two you can show it here, if it is more then use a pastebin. :) [12:47] archman: I don't know, and I'm not going to help you do something like that either, sorry. [12:47] puckman: indeed it does... if the boot cd works¬_¬ [12:47] but he understood how ubuntu works [12:47] koshari: indeed :/ [12:48] I have it on my macbook as well [12:48] Pici: no prob, tnx! [12:48] Bhlynd, If it is just a line or two you can show it here, if it is more then use a pastebin. :) [12:48] puckman: good have a blessed day [12:48] i try to connect to a vpn through network-manager-opvn, but it's not working and its pretty hard to debug with no error-message [12:48] if you had to sync / of ubuntu which files will exclude to avoid errors? [12:48] blessed_guess: do you know of a easy way to get the trashcan on the desktop like a big icon? [12:49] i set the resolution of the laptop to 800x600 which is easier to read for him [12:49] dave12: leave out all of /dev and /sys -- actually, what you want to do is use the one-filesystem option in rsync; I think it is -x [12:49] do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature) [12:49] dave12: you probably don't need to sync /tmp either [12:49] Emry, here is the link; http://pastebin.com/d32607b6 [12:49] Hi- Is there a way to remove ltsp to reinstall a default installation. I have fu¤# up the system... === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [12:50] guffe: where do the ltsp config files live? just remove them, then reinstall lstp [12:50] ltsp* [12:50] lappy198 have you tried another mirror [12:50] Pici: I did dist-upgrade two Gutsy laptop computers to Hardy. In one the GNOME language works all right. In the other not (most identifiers are in English). I just noticed a different content of the ~/.bashrc file. Is this file the culprit? [12:50] what to do when xserver doesn't show anything, except the background-color after typing startx? [12:50] K-4U change from fluxbox? [12:50] koshari, Well.. I tried both se and no, and as long as they arn't on the same server, yes. [12:50] puckman: one moment [12:51] adam7: Can i remove all files from /opt/ltsp/* ? When my thin clients starts up now all I get is BusyBox and initframs [12:51] koshari: Sorry? [12:51] do you know any mediaplayers that play ac3 files as external audio files to video (mplayer doesnt like ac3, vlc lacks the feature) [12:51] bullgard1: Could be, if you're setting that environment variable from there./ [12:51] guffe: I don't know; I've never setup a thin client, but if those are the config files, then probably you can [12:51] K-4U fluxbox loads with a blank screen but iam tipping you havnt installed fluxbox-desktop? [12:51] I'll try...... [12:52] koshari, It works after like 3 minuters. But it waits forever with: "0% [Connecting to no.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:700:300:1800::b)]" [12:52] koshari: no.. not that i am aware of... the power failed whilst updating to 8.04 (it was still downloading files) [12:52] ssn what do you mean by externel media files? [12:52] Emry, did you get to the link? [12:52] puckman: in terminal type gconf-editor then go to /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible and check boxes [12:52] Going now. [12:52] Pici: Thank you for your help. [12:53] K-4U ouch , can you try loading recovery ? [12:53] Emry, thank you. [12:53] I feel jelous now, I want a thinkpad again as well :P [12:53] Is this a terminal client or a feed client? [12:53] koshari: recovery mode? yes.. i only get terminal then... [12:53] terminal server client [12:53] Bhlynd, Which terminal are you trying to use? [12:53] koshari: K-4U: if it failed while downloading files, it shouldn't be a problem. Power failure while *installing* files, on the other hand, would be an issue [12:53] koshari: i gut a soundfile and a videofile, i want to play them both [12:53] the defaulty one with 8.0.4 [12:54] legend2440: awesome, thanks! [12:54] at the same time [12:54] adam7: i HAVE issues... [12:54] puckman: yw [12:54] so this WOULD be mplayer videofile.avi -audiofile audiofile.ac3, but my mplayer doesnt like my ac3 files [12:54] lappy198 is no the netherlands? i use an australian mirror [12:54] Bhlynd, What kind of server are you trying to connect too? [12:54] Emry, I get that error when I attempt to connect. The client is the default client with 8.0.4 [12:54] K-4U: well, for one, I think you have to start a window manager after startx'ing the server [12:54] koshari: no is norway [12:55] adam7: how?? [12:55] K-4U: not sure on Ubuntu -- why don't you use gdm? [12:55] or another login manager? [12:55] hmmm, a LOT of apps cant handle 800x600 screen [12:55] Emry, windows 200 [12:55] ssn you will need to mux them with something like avidemux [12:55] the buttons are off screen [12:55] koshari, "no" is for norway [12:55] adam7: sorry.. i m a real ubuntu-noob [12:55] Emry, Sorry that is windows 2000 [12:55] adam7 then I don't sunc /temp ,/sys and /dev [12:55] I'm trying to run ./bootstrap and I keep getting AM_RUN_LOG not found in library What does this mean [12:55] Bhlynd, I mean is it telnet, ssh, something else? [12:55] And which command are you running to get there? [12:55] dave12: yeah, don't sync /tmp /sys or /dev -- I think that should be all [12:56] K-4U- why don't you use gdm?+1 [12:56] Emry, rdp port 3389 [12:56] K-4U: no worries. also, fluxbox may not appear to be running, so try rightclicking on the desktop and see if you get a menu [12:56] and the option -x? [12:56] koshari: what is it? (really sorry.. as i said: i'm a linux-noob) [12:56] adam7 iam guessing gdm went haywire during a upgrade when the power failed, [12:56] option -x don't cross filesystem boundaries [12:56] I'd like a server that has IMAP/SMTP/CalDAV tightly integrated and also has some sort of web interface. Any recommendations? [12:57] dave12: correct [12:57] the meaning of this what is it? [12:57] dave12: speaking like Yoda, why are you? [12:57] hello [12:57] everyone [12:57] dave12: if you have additional drives or partitions mounted, then it won't send those [12:57] K-4U i would guess the gdm went haywire when the power failed during your upgrade, you could try checking it in synaptic [12:57] ...hai [12:58] yang_: hi! [12:58] yang_ hi [12:58] Bhlynd, Ok.. I don't know anything about rdp. :/ [12:58] dave12: /sys and /dev are different filesystems, so it wouldn't sync them [12:58] where are you from [12:58] Whats the command to get similar result with apt-get? [12:58] koshari: so.. tell me, how do i get IN synaptic when i have no gui? [12:58] When you say terminal, I think text only. ^^; [12:58] Don't know the package name... [12:58] Hi, i want to install/configure pppoe server on my ubunut hardy. i did search for any howto, but no success.. any help... [12:58] Emry, no problem. [12:59] Bhlynd, Sorry. It was worth a shot. ^^ [12:59] TAiNiUM: postfix, courier-imap-ssl, and apache with libapache2-svn. i dont know about caldav though [12:59] Hello, i am trying to set up my wireless, and I am stuck with " ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:155): Windows driver is not 32-bit; bad magic: 020B " anybody knows where I can find 32 bit drivers for Broadcom 1390 WLAN Mini PC ? [12:59] K-4U you can use apt. [12:59] but adam can you write me the sentence of rsync to avoid this problems [12:59] if you know the name of the package [12:59] because I dont know how to put it [12:59] Is there anyone around that could assist me with an issue regarding remote desktop on 8.0.4. I am attempting to connect to a windows server. [12:59] does ubuntu have some kind of firewall by it self [12:59] ia anyone from china call m e [13:00] koshari: i'm a real noob... sorry for asking so many questions: what to type? :P [13:00] hexoroid: ufw [13:00] it seems to be blocking one of my ports.. [13:00] K-4U ie, sudo apt-get install packagename [13:00] dont know how to disable that [13:00] TAiNiUM: i dont know what youre looking for in a web interface either. do you want an imap web interface like squirelmail or something? [13:00] hexoroid: Firestarter [13:00] TAiNiUM how do i enable port 3333 its blocking it [13:00] puckman: great I can see you got a solution to your problem [13:00] hexoroid: there is no firewall on Ubuntu [13:00] dougsko: Have you seen Citadel? I'm considering using it. [13:00] !firewall > hexoroid [13:00] koshari: i already knew the install-command, but what to install then? :p [13:01] hexo: sudo apt-get install firestarter then edit the appropriate rules [13:01] adam7: ofcourse there is, ufw. [13:01] hello everyone, today i've tried to install kde4 devel in my ubuntu, in two machines, in the first one everything gone well on the second i got this error http://rafb.net/p/5CVnLH17.html, does anyone knows what it can be ? [13:01] hexoroid: ufw allow 3333 [13:01] TritonX: there is no firewall, so that wouldn't be the problem [13:01] well TrioTorus this is a fresh install.. [13:01] blessed_guess: yes, looking good. Just set up chat and email for him. Ubuntu so rocks for new computer users [13:01] robg_: but it doesn't block anything by default... [13:01] K-4U sudo apt-get install gdm [13:01] TAiNiUM: nope, whats that? [13:01] you got to install one to open the ports, I thin kit pretty much closed by default [13:01] robg_: there is also iptables [13:01] TAiNiUM it says i need to be a root to run this script [13:01] I have moved at least 30 users in the last year to either linux or mac, away from windows [13:01] adam7: sudo su, ufw enable, ufw logging on, ufw default deny. [13:01] http://www.citadel.org/ [13:02] TritonX: the ports are closed because nothing is running on them. you don't need to install anything to open a port [13:02] hexoroid: what robg said [13:02] robg_: ok, but that's not default :P [13:02] koshari: unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages" [13:02] adam7: ufw is a simple interface to IP tables. [13:02] robg_: I know. So is Firestarter. [13:02] TritonX: if you are trying to access the port from outside your network though, you probly need to forward the port on your router [13:02] koshari: last time i typed that one.. it asked me to reconfigure dpkg... [13:02] rsync -arvx 192.168.2::root / [13:02] TAiNiUM that is still not doing it [13:02] please I need help, my menu editor seems not to be working [13:03] my port is still blocked [13:03] hexoroid: are you trying to access said port from the internet? [13:03] K-4U if you have unmet dependencies it would indicate you have found your problem. [13:03] could be something else blocking it. try another port. [13:03] koshari: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed [13:03] adam7 yes i am [13:03] hexoroid: you have port forwarding enabled on your router? [13:03] koshari: and how to solve? :p [13:03] is anyone want to know me [13:03] hexo : get firestarter, trust me [13:03] ' [13:03] adam7 it was never a problem before [13:04] ? [13:04] adam7 [13:04] only ubuntu i have "dmz" set [13:04] ver5y easy to use [13:04] hexoroid: you might have something already running on 3333. try 'netstat -na|grep 3333' and see if that matches anything [13:04] dave12: yeah? [13:04] yang_, chinese? [13:04] anytime I right click on the applications menu and select edit menu nothing happens [13:04] hexoroid: "before?"

You might wanna put a livecd in and see if you can just copy files off that way, might be faster. Otherwise, you can mount the stick if you know the device name: mkdir /tmp/mountpoint; mount /dev/sdx1 /tmp/mountpoint [13:14] K-4U can you use the live disc to copy your files? [13:14] koshari: hmm... i hope so :P damn... well, running on windows also didn't solve....

[13:26] MaximLevitsky does iwconfig see it? [13:26] HardyHuman, "query" me? [13:26] yeah msg [13:26] yes [13:26] one had to do with weird sound behaviour in heron (flash video no sound, sometimes; no MP3 playback except from command line). [13:27] the other i was looking for old release desktop wallpapers. [13:27] anacaona, have you updated to the latest kernel? [13:27] koshari, yes, I got some bad messages from dmesg [13:27] i already got vpn server so how i want to make a vhost [13:27] bazhang: yeah. [13:27] how to change the memory wubi requires? [13:27] hi [13:27] How can I mount an LVM2 volume using the LiveCD? [13:27] anacaona, and the problem persists?

[13:27] bazhang, most issues come when upgrading from a properly working to a bleeding edge kernel :) [13:27] [ 305.837499] iwl3945: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x82000008.

[13:28] bazhang: its been like this for a bit over a week. [13:28] anacaona, one workaround at least with the -16 kernel was to install libflashsupport to get sound back for flash video [13:28] koshari, it seems that it is somehow connected with bad firmware [13:29] bazhang: the thing about the flash is that its not consistent. it comes and goes. the no MP3 is really starting to annoy me, though. [13:29] i am screwed :| [13:29] MaximLevitsky ? you using ndiswrapper? [13:29] How do I mount an LVM2 volume using the LiveCD? [13:30] freak, nice offer...you'd probably have got help anyway :) [13:30] koshari, obivosly not, why, intel hardware has free linux driver === ubuntu__ is now known as something [13:30] anacaona, that maybe related to the sound system you are using (pulse et al); and as for old release wallpapers, distrowatch links to a site (forgot the name) that has wallpapers for nearly every distro [13:30] adam7: koshari: Thanks for your help... i'm off to reburn the image, and try to reinstall ubuntu... [13:30] MaximLevitsky thje firmware message prompted me to ask that [13:30] K-4U: good luck :) sorry we couldn't save your install [13:30] mn [13:30] hi [13:31] hi [13:31] adam7: doesn't matter, thanks anyway ;) i think i'll be back later today to ask about the wireless [13:31] K-4U: alright :P [13:31] bya! [13:31] MaximLevitsky have you had it working? did it work of the live disk? [13:31] bazhang, anyone knows where I can find the startup sound that was in dapper [13:31] i meant the sound you here just after login [13:32] I just wanted to ask. Is anyone else experiencing very slow scrolling in firefox on gmail? [13:32] koshari, nope, it never did [13:32] anirudh0, on a dapper disk most likely; probably just insert the disk then extract it [13:32] bazhang, ah..but i dont have a dapper disk [13:32] yo.. any one might know why my ubuntu keeps on freezing apps sometimes ? [13:32] bazhang, else no point in asking...google does'nt show anything [13:32] lw [13:33] anirudh0, let me try [13:33] lw0x15, which apps specifically? [13:33] allad, umm...most of them lol [13:33] lw0x15, which apps...what config..please give more details [13:33] all the fookin apps [13:33] no errors nothing [13:33] just freezes [13:33] and thats it [13:33] lw0x15: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:33] MaximLevitsky what module is it loading, [13:33] bazhang, the dapper sound was beautiful, the new sound is somewhat harsh(to my ears atleast) [13:34] i did memtest for 3hours no errors nothing [13:34] anirudh0: is the dapper sound in Gutsy too? I only have a copy of the Gutsy cd here [13:34] koshari, iwl3945 [13:35] lw0x15 happens to me too [13:35] Whats the ubuntu package that install most used libs? [13:35] what is the name of the package that contains the development utilities ( c ompiler, c header files,etc..)

[13:35] hi.... i have latest ubuntu on my desktop... and wifi-card, i can manually connect to wifi network, but it should be done by NetworkManager applet, and this applet doesn't connect me to wifi net [13:35] most ubuntu apps freezes on me too, [13:36] what should i do ?\ [13:36] Hey, can anyone tell me how to get OSS4 to play system sounds, I cant hear message beeps in pidgen, but amarok music player works [13:36] bazhang, thanks...have been looing for this for a long time [13:36] *looking === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [13:36] ah, clever, just download the package :D [13:36] theres no selection for OSS in gnome sound menu, but any application that has drivers for it seems to work well, like i can play games in WINE like Deus Ex and TF2 [13:36] bazhang, but how do i extract a file from a deb? [13:36] she, lw0x15 , please give details. which apps? how often? [13:37] bazhang, i cant install the package...it'll conflict with ubuntu-desktop [13:37] anirudh0: just open it -- it's a tar.gz, so the archiver will do it [13:37] koshari, what is this [13:37] adam7, ok..debs are gzipped? [13:37] anirudh0: the program is called file-roller, I think [13:37] anirudh0: yep [13:37] allad, many of them.. i just tried a few for example terminal.. gimp image viewer etc [13:37] MaximLevitsky http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636177 [13:37] i didnt try all of them [13:38] MaximLevitsky basicly its another driver written for your wifi chipset [13:39] And ubuntu doesn't have it, at least modprobe doesn't work [13:39] !appdb | bob1122 check here for what will work [13:39] bob1122 check here for what will work: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [13:39] hi.... i have latest ubuntu on my desktop... and wifi-card, i can manually connect to wifi network, but it should be done by NetworkManager applet, and this applet doesn't connect me to wifi net [13:39] what should i do ?\ [13:39] XATRIX; If it works it's fine. [13:40] Lol... Basic linux question.. Can i run a .bin file? [13:40] yes. [13:40] lw0x15, that's weird. never had any problem with those apps. sorry folks. can't help u on that [13:40] Jck_true: indeed. just chmod +x nameof.bin first to make it executable [13:40] robg_, no....network manager applet dosn't work fine [13:40] its just not these its just generally freezes [13:41] i can use xchat [13:41] and firefox but not others [13:41] if I met crash on xubuntu desktop, it's mean the keyboard and mouse no response, sounds like kernel panic. [13:41] 20:38 < rainleong> how could I check what problem cause it. [13:41] XATRIX: normally you get an automatic DHCP. If that fails, then you do a manual config. === Kaja_ is now known as Kaja [13:41] if I met crash on xubuntu desktop, it's mean the keyboard and mouse no response, sounds like kernel panic. [13:41] 20:38 < rainleong> how could I check what problem cause it. [13:41] bazhang, I get sound in WINE, but not system sounds is what I meant. I'm asking how do I make OSS appear in the GNOME System->preferences-> sound menu , OSS is not there, there are options ALSA, PUlse Audio, and autodetect thats it [13:41] I'm having a slight problem. just dist-upgraded to 8.04, resolution is set to 800x600, My monitor will take 1280x1024. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't allow me to select resolution or driver and manually adding the definitions to /etc/X11/xorg.conf does nithing. Hints? [13:41] adam7: Adn how do I run it then... [13:42] thanks adam7 [13:42] oasisfai, check your syslog and kern.log [13:42] Hey, I'm using the nvidia-glx-new video driver, and it keeps getting removed once I reboot my computer. Has anyone experienced this problem before? [13:42] oasisfai, via sysytem->admin->system log [13:42] I have alto of partitions in a seperate hard disk (10), everytime i mount them they are mounted as /media/disk-n and they are named on the desktop as "xx.x GB media" is there a way to set up a permanent mount point? such as /media/windows ? [13:43] robg_, how can i make my ubuntu to dhcp on start, without networkmanager apple [13:43] u mean under /var/log ? [13:43] oasisfai, yes [13:43] speedhunt3r, yes [13:43] Rabbitbunny: enable your restricted drivers if its ATI/or nvidia [13:43] speedhunt3r, mount it..then right click on it in computer:// [13:43] XATRIX: My installs always network themselves. [13:43] anirudh0 , I checked both sys.log and kern.log. [13:43] speedhunt3r, and set a mount point under "volume" [13:43] seem no problem. [13:43] bob1122, what does apt-cache search oss turn up? or you can search in synaptic [13:44] robg_, are you a developer ? [13:44] Rabbitbunny: after enabling the restricted drivers install and use displayconfig-gtk to set your monitor and then use nvidia-settings to set your resolution [13:44] my friend and me upgraded ubuntu (my friend) and xubuntu (me) from gusty to hardy. [13:44] oasisfai, then it is'nt a kernel panic [13:45] XATRIX: Some call me that, but I do not know a hoot about Linux. I simply do carefull installs. [13:45] bazhang, I typed that command and my terminal was flooded with a list of programs so long it couldnt even display on the screen [13:45] we both met random crash. [13:45] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 XATRIX here is the comprehensive cli networking guide [13:45] bazhang I followed the tutorial on the ubuntu forums for installing OSS4 , and my xfi works [13:45] bob1122, then try in synaptic [13:45] we use the same laptop ( hp persario v3113au ) [13:45] ePax: tbemus, I'm using an intel i810. [13:45] I not sure it is kernel panic or not. [13:46] oasisfai, it might be related to you particular model then...check google and ubuntuforums [13:46] but the keyboard and mouse without any reponse. [13:46] anirudh0, do i need to make folders in /media prior to that or it'll create it? [13:46] desktop was stop. [13:46] even the time bar. [13:46] Rabbitbunny: you should still be able to use displayconfig-gtk to set your monitor then the xserver will let you set your resolution [13:46] robg when i click on some network to connect....applet try to do this but after some time spend, it shows nothing [13:47] Rabbitbunny: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=531943 [13:47] Rabbitbunny: Thare you have one howto. Try and see if it works. [13:47] what about iwlwifi, is it included in ubuntu, and does it work in general? [13:47] I google many times, I can't find the solution about this problem. [13:47] XATRIX: You will have to ask somebody who is familiar with the applet. I do not trust an install that refuses to network. [13:48] speedhunt3r, no...it'll create it [13:48] how do I tell aptitude which version of a package I want? apt-get install ghc6 installs 6.6.1 and I want it to install 6.8 [13:48] bazhang I have all the dependencies for OSS i think [13:48] bazhang: and also oss-linux v4.0 is shown as installed in synaptic [13:48] bob1122, not a wine player; that is the best I can offer-->perhaps #winehq can help though [13:48] ePax: That would be great if dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg still let you select video/resolution [13:49] Silex: If you want to install prerelease package then you have to enable your backports. [13:49] is it possible to use openoffice to turn a normal typed document into pamphlet form? [13:49] bazhang: its not a wine issue, its system sounds, like the gnome soudn menu it OSS4 doesnt show up, I was saying WINE as an example of sound that DOES work on my computer with OSS4 [13:49] ePax: any page explaining how to do that? [13:49] Silex: I presume you are using Gutsy, ghc6 6.8 is not available in those repositories. [13:50] bob1122, then #alsa [13:50] anirudh0, i just tried it /media/SLES10 and it gives an error when i tried to mount it, "mount_point cannot contain newline, G_DIR_SEPARATOR (usually /) [13:50] Hello [13:50] bazhang: I don't use alsa anymore, I removed it as per instructions of the oss4 installation on the ubuntu forums. you cant use oss4 and alsa at the same time [13:50] speedhunt3r, heed the message :) [13:51] Pici: yes, so I have to install it manually? I'm pretty sure there must be a repo somewhere with the 6.8 package [13:51] speedhunt3r, just put disk, for /media/disk [13:52] would anyone be willing to help me install Nvu, I'm having trouble [13:52] Silex: System - Administration - Software sources - Updates (enable prereleased sources) , after that try to install your desired version off software with synaptic [13:52] Silex: If you're willing to upgrade to Hardy, its in those repos. [13:52] ePax: I'm ssh'ing a box there [13:52] what's an "untrusted package" with respect to installing Ubuntu packages using aptitude? [13:53] cosmodad, something where the gpg key has failed to match or similar [13:53] Pici: ok, so sudo aptitude dist-upgrade ? [13:53] anyone player racer? [13:53] bazhang: why would that happen with packages I download from official Ubuntu reps [13:53] ? [13:53] and i meet a problem, can't init fmod [13:53] Silex: sudo do-release-upgrade [13:54] Pici: okay, on my way [13:54] thanks [13:54] Silex: you're trying to enable repos via console? /etc/apt/sources.list [13:54] racer problem, can't init fmod [13:54] anyone can help me [13:54] Rabbitbunny: upgrading seems less troublesome for some reasons, if it works that is :) [13:54] let's try [13:54] cosmodad, it might mean that you are missing a gpg key [13:55] cosmodad, it does happen from time to time here as well. [13:55] i'm having trouble getting the following command to work: sudo aticonfig --initial. It reports the error "Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver Line [13:55] cosmodad, check the webpage of the repo for more info on how to add one [13:55] anirudh0: shouldn't all official packages utter this warning then? [13:55] Pici: "env: do-release-upgrade: No such file or directory" [13:55] hello i have installed ubuntu 8.04 and want to change the monitor resolution, since i have a widescreen, but /etc/X11/xorg.conf is allmost empty and the tool to change the display resolution doesnt let me change hsinc and vsinc [13:55] i have attempted sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and followed all the prompts, but with the same outcome after rerunning the aticonfig command [13:55] anirudh0: I haven't seen this warning for the last 25+ packages I installed, and suddenly here it is. Doesn't seem logical to me. [13:55] where is the xorg ircchannel [13:56] racer problem, can't init fmod [13:56] anyone help me [13:56] ? [13:56] Silex: You probably need to make sure that you are up to date with the rest of your upgrades first. [13:56] joe_chat: You should try to get help from your distro before bothering the guys at xorg. [13:56] bazhang: with official repository packages you mean? [13:56] Pici: seems I need to sudo aptitude install update-manager-core first [13:56] this installs do-release-upgrade [13:56] cosmodad, aye [13:56] any1 no how to make a two-fold pamphlet with openoffice.org word? [13:57] cosmodad, that could be because not all packages come from the same section [13:57] ok i want to setup keycodes for a microsoft office keyboard specifically cut/copy/paste and scroll wheel [13:57] cosmodad, or the same repo for that matter, assuming you have multiple repos enabled [13:57] ok i also want to setup horzontle scrolling on and intellimouse [13:57] joe_chat: Try looking for information on keybindings. [13:57] any ideas [13:58] i did poorly written writeups === TAiNiUM is now known as tain [13:58] Anyone else use oss4 here? [13:59] anirudh0: I have no clue why but doing apt-get update helped. [13:59] anirudh0: although there was only a single non-official repo in my sources.list, but it is totally unrelated (VirtualBox) [13:59] joe_chat: It's the nature of the beast. Search harder or pay for support. [14:00] I'm having an issue with running full screen applications such as blender. My time and date display as well as the network icon keeps flickering over it - this happens with almost *every* full screen application. [14:00] cosmodad, it would have updated the gpg key...some repos change their keys at times...you key might have been old [14:00] anyone help me? [14:00] Which system log contains the shutdown information from the last shutdown? I had some errors on shutdown and had to use the power button since the computer froze. [14:00] got it im in metacity keybindings how do i scan a keycode when i press copy [14:00] DJAdmiral: I messed with that about two months ago, The only fix I found was running windowed. [14:00] anirudh0: still, if that was true, I'd have been required to ack the key, wouldn't Iß [14:00] anirudh0: ? [14:01] racer game can't init fmod [14:01] Rabbitbunny: Apparently even windowed mode of blender is also fullscreen, stupidly enough. [14:01] DJAdmiral: Yes, But it didn't flicker near as often for me, I could actually click buttons. [14:01] :/ [14:02] cosmodad, hmmm...not sure of that [14:02] cosmodad, since you are updating, rather than adding [14:02] Rabbitbunny: Thanks anyway. [14:03] anirudh0: nevermind -- I'm not too much of an gnupg expert to assess the circumstances either. [14:03] anirudh0: Good Thing is, it works now. [14:03] i'm having trouble getting the following command to work: "sudo aticonfig --initial". It reports the error "Device section "Configured Video Device" must have a Driver Line in xorg.conf [14:03] and I again can experience the [false] feeling of safety. :) [14:03] bazhang: thanks too. [14:04] i'm having a problem printing PDFs. when i choose PDF as a printer and click ok, everything seems to go fine yet there's no dialogue box asking me where to save the file and i can't find a PDF anywhere afterwards. using heron, upgraded from gutsy. [14:04] could anyone provide me with a link to an example, correct xorg configuration for an ATI card (Radeon 2900 if possible) or someway of getting my configuration file correct [14:04] i have attempted sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and followed all the prompts, but with the same outcome after rerunning the aticonfig command [14:04] cosmodad, no expert on gpg either...but thats usually the case [14:04] anacaona: checked ~/PDF? [14:04] anacaona, it is stored in ~/pdf [14:04] :) [14:04] !ati | mancmatt [14:04] mancmatt: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:04] thanks guys!

I'm still on gutsy and it's still ~/PDF here. [14:05] ubuntu-lover: use envy itll tell u and if it has itll get it and install it for u [14:05] <[GuS]> ubuntu-lover: did you check in nvidia site?

[14:07] mancmatt: First of all check if you have your restricted drivers enabled for ati. It should install latest working drivers for your ati card. [14:07] and i chose the correct page size in the pdf options. [14:07] bazhang: well thats wat i meant and isnt that only for hardy? [14:07] and even in acrobat reader it doesn't seem to work.

See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [15:09] aah-- dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg without option that xorg.conf offered [15:09] Slart, Myrtti: Any idea of the proper syntax to mount stuff with fstab in Wubi? :) [15:09] 'sudo hostname ' says 'unable to resolve host ' [15:09] andy56_uk: okay, you will need to do this in recovery mode then. [15:09] STSX: after the installation is done, it should be handled the same way than any ubuntu's [15:09] STSX: well we might as well try it.. or im gonna be forced to mount the windows drive everytime :-/ [15:09] STSX: absolutely no idea what so ever.. but there has to be some info about it somewhere.. canonical invented this little weirdo.. it had better send a manual with it =) [15:09] pdub: It's not that bad. It is just that wubi does some tricks (instead of installing linux in separate partitions it creates a couple large files on your xp filesystem and then treats those files as the linux disk). Few of us use wubi, so your fstab looked unfamiliar to us. [15:10] PriceChild: I just asked here because someone might have some experience with that [15:10] simplexio: Adding the -phigh to that command makes it for resolution settings only. Otherwise you get all the options of driver, keyboard, etc [15:10] soundray: thanks for your help, will try now. Myrtti: not tried yet - just about to. Thanks to all, will be back later. [15:10] STSX: perhaps live cd, fiddle fstab from there... [15:10] would you recommend reinstalling ubuntu in a different way?? [15:10] pdub: boot from the cd [15:11] wubi is a bit fresh [15:11] or will it be fine to work in like this.. im really just trying to get away from windows because im not a fan of vista. and figured this would be the best OS to do so [15:11] but we might get your problems fixed without you reinstalling [15:11] I have to go get some food, take care [15:11] pdub: Installing Ubuntu on a separate partition is really ideal, but we can deal with a Wubi install... [15:12] at some point im going to completely delete windows, i just don't know enough about ubuntu to do that yet [15:12] Speaking of which.. pdub wants to mount his xp partition from a wubi linux install (i.e., same partition that has the linux disk image files). Will this cause any problems? [15:12] ? [15:13] STSX: i view a dual-boot configuration as transitional. [15:13] I want to play .mp3 files that are in my windows partition in linux. But when i try to access the drives in nautilus it says they cannot be mounted? Anyone know how to do this? [15:13] pdub: If you want to eventually get rid of Windows, I think putting Ubuntu on its own partition is really your best solution. [15:13] hey [15:13] where can I find ubuntu hacks???? [15:14] Devistator: what? [15:14] hey, I was asking about how to login to root earlier.. when I type su and then my password I can an auth failure [15:14] Wires: sudo gedit [15:14] robg_: What do you mean? At least if pdub has it dual-boot he can easily get rid of Windows like he said he wants to eventually. With Wubi you can't do that, that I'm aware of. [15:14] ok, could you give me the command to mount windows everytime, if im going to reinstall i might as well try to enter something into the fstab [15:14] Cool tricks on da computer, hacks where can I find them? [15:14] what does gedit do? [15:14] Devistator: google. [15:14] what should I search under? [15:15] "ubuntu hacks" [15:15] Devistator: ssh 127.13.65.12. Same username/password as your own. Mess around and have fun with the poor pwned dude. [15:15] STSX: maintaining a dual-boot system becomes a pain-in-the-neck due to constant switching between OSes. [15:15] or ubuntu tips + tricks [15:15] err that's a word processor [15:15] wow, thanks [15:15] Wires: do not use su please. Use sudo -- for example 'sudo nano' to open an editor as root. [15:15] bbl [15:15] I want to play .mp3 files that are in my windows partition in linux. But when i try to access the drives in nautilus it says they cannot be mounted? Anyone know how to do this? [15:15] Wires: for gedit and other graphical programs, use 'gksudo gedit' or similar [15:15] pdub: Hang on a minute... [15:15] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [15:15] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [15:15] that's why im trying to use su [15:16] Devistator, lifehacker also [15:16] nvm... [15:16] sudo ./configure.. im retarded ;) [15:16] i have to print my homework on a short bond paper but I do not know what paper size to set on openoffice.org. how does openoffice.org call a short bond paper?

[15:16] wers: you wrote a paper on james bond!? [15:17] Wires: Because the root account is locked by default. [15:17] wers: my experience with OpenOffice is that it automatically formats to the right size. [15:17] Nitricacid, in our country, we call the size "short bond paper" [15:17] Nitricacid: if nautilus can't mount your Windows partition, it may not have been unmounted properly before. Boot Windows and do a clean shutdown. [15:17] i don't know what to set on oo.o [15:17] ah yes, ok thank you [15:17] if i dont boot into gnome failsafe i get a all white screen after upgrading to hardy, any odeas please? [15:17] tanks [15:17] soundray: ok BRB [15:17] Anyone use OSS4, oss doesnt appear as a selection in gnome sound applet [15:17] Wires: sudo bash will give you a root shell. Ubuntu is sorta designed to force you to enter a password every time you want to change system stuff. [15:18] wers: I just type a letter into the default paper size and the printer returns a perfect letter. [15:18] Wires: to switch to root use 'sudo su -' [15:18] ok.. now im getting configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [15:18] !rootshell | jmacpherson [15:18] Hey.. which application allows me to add subtitles to a movie?

However, if you really need a root shell, use « sudo -i » (other variants of this commands are redundant and/or potentially dangerous) [15:18] when trying to configure xchat [15:18] hi [15:18] jmacpherson: or sudo -s, or sudo -i (I think it's the recommended way for some reason) [15:18] !enter | wires [15:18] wires: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:20] soundray: thanks.. I have to start writing this stuff down or something =) [15:20] remoteCTR1, same ..been having a sound problem no ones responding on ubuntu forums either [15:20] what command can i use with apt-cache, or a similar command to see the files provided by a given package? [15:20] install [15:20] remote: probably your video card that doesn't support a function [15:20] remoteCTR1: This is with nvidia graphics? [15:20] remoteCTR1: what is you graphic problem [15:20] wirelessdreamer : try apt-cache search "bla" [15:20] jmacpherson: nope its a ati and it worked just fine until i upgraded to hardy [15:21] 1. I cant select oss 4 in gnome sound menu, so i get no system sounds, 2. I get no sound in half life singleplayer, but 1.6 and HLDM work and have sound. [15:21] k1dugar: i get an all white screen after login since i upgraded to hardy [15:21] For the second problem i must have bumped the topic on the ubuntu forum about 600 times [15:21] still have yet to get a response [15:21] remoteCTR1: I had issues (on nvidia) the fix was to remove xserver-xgl [15:21] hoggie: search only checks package names, it doesn't say what files are provided, so i can't find where it gets installed to [15:21] xgl? [15:21] remoteCTR1: upgraded driver, then reinstalled and was okay [15:21] ok, when configuring I get error 'coud not find glib' [15:21] bob1122: sure way to annoy people. Have you thought about restating/rephrasing your problem? Adding extra information? [15:22] bob1122: use aoss to run oss software with alsa.. [15:22] jmacpherson: you mean from the nvidia site directly? i haven't tried tha tyet... [15:22] remoteCTR1: Yeah, it was what I was using for the nifty bouncing graphics etc. [15:22] jmacpherson: is that a nvidia related thing or is that also there for an ati card? [15:22] soundray: almost every bump I did updated the issue.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=796994 see for yourself [15:22] remoteCTR1: No not from the nvidia site, but when I upgraded to Hardy, I got the white screen. The solution for me was to stop using the XGL xserver (which was providing me with the fancy graphics) [15:22] wirelessdreamer : i didnt get what you wanna do? you want to check which pkg's need to be installed also when installing a specific pkg? or where its installed too? [15:22] soundray: What would be dangerous with sudo bash compared to sudo -i? The RootSudo wiki says the second should be used but doesn't explain why as far as I can see. [15:23] Slart: I removed alsa. u cant use OSS4 and alsa at the same time.. and OSS4 is the only thing that supports my sound card (Creative X FI) [15:23] remoteCTR1: I am not sure, mine was nvidia but I *think* the problem applied to both [15:23] Hey.. which application allows me to add subtitles to a movie? (to play it together and also to create a new file with vid+subtitles)?? [15:23] Slart: so I dont really have a choice between OSS and ALSA right now [15:23] jmacpherson: what fancy gafcs are you precisely relating to? i hope you dont mean compiz? [15:23] hoggie: no i want th check what files get installed when i install a package, like where it puts its binaries and config files [15:24] remoteCTR1: Yes compiz etc. but for some reason I also had the xserver-xgl package installed, removing this fixed the problem. ymmv [15:24] jmacpherson: in that case thanks for the hint dude i'll try that out!:) [15:24] soundray: I have also posted on the WINE appdb, and some other forums , no one can help me fix it [15:24] bob1122: ah.. you're a creative-victim.. sorry to hear that.. well.. I don't really have anything more to add.. never played around with oss .. sorry [15:25] remoteCTR1: I now have compiz running but do not have the xserver-xgl package installed [15:25] remoteCTR1: Cool, good luck! (I understand the frustration! ;) [15:25] why would video be extremely slow and choppy in totem and mplayer, yet play fine in dragon player or vlc? [15:25] wirelessdreamer : hmm.. i dont know how to check that.. i just know that usually u can find it in /usr/sbin /usr/share /sbin [15:25] gstreamer issues? [15:25] Slart: yeah..it sucks. But before OSS4 came out it was even worse, the only help I got was people saying "Just buy another sound card" like I can just pull 100 bucks out of my rear end [15:25] !subtitles [15:25] Factoid subtitles not found [15:25] Lynet: the difference is a sane environment. Most people would expect a full root environment when they see a # prompt. If you run sudo bash or sudo su or other root shell commands, your environment is incomplete, e.g. $HOME points to your user home instead of /root/ [15:25] jmacpherson: hehe yeah after all i have now been googling for an hour and a half... [15:26] how can i inject subtitles to a movie file?? [15:26] bob1122: maybe there is no solution then [15:26] hoggie: its a web app, but nothing got added to /var/www roundcube [15:26] soundray: so im supposed to just deal with no sound? [15:26] soundray: any idea of the difference provided by 'sudo su -' ? [15:27] soundray: Ah. Gotcha. Kinda obvious really, facepalm moment on my part. [15:28] jmacpherson: there is none that I am aware of. But people are going to forget the - and run into trouble. That's why I support ubottu's stance on this: sudo -i for rootshells, anything else is of the evil. [15:28] bob1122: is oss-compat installed? [15:28] soundray: fair enough - old habits die hard :-) will read the man pages, thanks! [15:28] wirelessdreamer : you know which command runs the application? [15:28] bob1122: you can always ask Creative better to support open source driver development [15:29] soundray: Please excuse the interjection, but I was following what you were telling Lynet; if I do "sudo su" and then "echo $HOME" it shows my home as /root, not my user's home directory. Did I miss something? [15:29] hoggie: thats why i need to find out what it installs, no command runs it, its web browser based [15:29] how can i inject subtitles to a movie file?? [15:29] hi, how do I find out in which libghc6 package is `Control.Parallel.Strategies' [15:29] ? [15:29] apparently apt-get install ghc6 doesn't install it [15:29] what about the Beagle? [15:30] legend2440: I did a apt-get install..i guess it 2wasnnt installed, do I have to reboot my pc now? [15:30] wirelessdreamer : whats the name of it? you cab find / -name [15:30] STSX: Some variables won't be initialised properly - I'm not 100% sure of the differences but I know that sudo su - (or this sudo -i) is required to run your root login scripts properly [15:30] hoggie: package is called roundcore-webmail [15:30] soundray: I just read on the alsa site that creative has suipplied the alsa team with data sheets for the xfi and the card was delivered to the team, development work has started [15:30] bob1122: not sure if you have to or not [15:30] I get this when configuring Warning: The GTK (GUI) frontend will not be built. what should I do? I did apt-search'd for gtk and got nothing [15:30] er, I did apt-search rather [15:31] hoggie: using find still won't tell me if it installed a file that doesn't have that name in it [15:31] STSX: your /root/.bash_rc will NOT be run if you only 'sudo su' [15:31] STSX: indeed, it does here, too... This has changed from previous Ubuntu versions.

[15:33] wirelessdreamer : hmm im afraid i cant help you then, try googling for the same problem and see what the search produces, you can be amazed sometimes how a specific problem happens to another fraustrated buddy! and i didnt try it. cause i wanted to see which is recomended instead of trying them all before :) but thanks i think ill do that after all :) [15:33] legend2440: Sound WORKS in amarok, WINE, anything with OSS drivers built in, but gnome sound applet doesnt show OSS as an option, so I get no system sounds [15:34] jmacpherson: Interesting, you could always ". .bashrc" if you need to I guess, or could you even ". .*" to try and run all .files? Just curious, since I've always wanted to know some of the subtleties of "sudo su" (would explain why things don't work sometimes as expected)> [15:34] I get this when configuring Warning: The GTK (GUI) frontend will not be built. what should I do? I did apt-search gtk and got nothing [15:34] STSX: Just did quick test. There are differences in at least COLOURTERM, PATH, DISPLAY, XAUTHORITY and some SUDO_* between sudo su and sudo su - [15:35] Lynet: did you look at the sudo -i environment, too? [15:35] Lynet: Interesting... what if you do like I suggested to jmacpherson and manually run all the .files to initialize everything? [15:35] Lynet: the SUDO_* stuff is not that important, of course. XAUTHORITY could be, though [15:35] STSX: yeah now I'm curious. try this, if you sudo -i, you get a root login and get dumped into /root/ as the current dir === Veinor|ZzZ is now known as Veinor|away [15:36] STSX: sorry hit enter... then try run an X app, it should work [15:36] STSX: but if you sudo su - you will get a "cannot open display" [15:36] anyone know a good alternative to Y!

You know any good online references?

It may have other consequences than just the sudo error. [15:45] I inserted a new 1TB HDD into my computer and partitioned it with gparted. But when I look in the drive, it says 46,8GB is in use. Does the ext3 filesystem really take up that much space? [15:45] heh [15:46] soundray: Ok, will do that now and come back later. [15:46] Armada: are you sure it says 46 gig in use? or have you calculated that from amount of free space? [15:46] Armada: those are probably the reserved blocks [15:46] Wires: apt-get build-dep is a great timesaver if you for some reason want to build from source instead of pulling the binary from repos. :-) [15:46] jmacpherson: I agree, but I'll give you a case where you would want to use gksudo to run terminal commands: say you are writing a bash script that you want to run from one of the Gnome menus, and need to run some commands as root, but you don't want the whole script run as root. If you put "sudo " in the script, you won't be able to run the script since sudo has no terminal to ask your... [15:46] bob1122: sorry out of ideas. you've probably tried more stuff than i could ever think of. have you tried channel #OSS? [15:46] ...password. So wouldn't it be nice if you could just gksudo the command and the nice spiffy GUI window comes up asking for your password? [15:46] legend2440: thanks for the help, ill try that [15:46] hi all. is there a way to force hardy to install the latest version of an application (e.g. f-spot, whose current stable release is 4.3.1 but installed hardy version is 4.2)? I'm a linux noob, so don't yet fully understand the package update system yet... [15:47] SwedeMike: It says it in the properties: 46,8GB in use [15:47] Armada: you can change the amount of reserved blocks with tune2fs -- please read the man page [15:47] Hi all. Today i suddenly got a message saying that i was using restricted drivers - VMWare kernel drivers. I don't understand where that came from. Anybody seen that or have any idea? [15:47] fredh: do you have vmware installed anywhere? [15:47] jmacpherson: That's an example from personal experience, not hypothetical... :) [15:48] need help with Derive under Wine ! [15:48] squidly: Yep, the Player version, but I thougth only the "guest" os would need special drivers. Also it has been installed for at least a week, why "restricted drivers" now? === x-spec-t is now known as Spec [15:48] STSX: Sounds like a feature request for sudo - if it has no terminal but has $display then pop up a gui password prompt. [15:49] ziod, you could either add the proposed repos or compile yourself; this is highly unadvisable however. [15:49] fredh: vmware has to hook in to the kernel for hardware access. [15:49] that may be where it comes from [15:49] fredh: what does lsmod show? [15:49] Hi im having problems setting the path to java in opera. ive tried yelling at opera and it has no effect. does anyone have a better idea? [15:49] bazhang: so will the updated version eventually find its way into the ubuntu automatic updates? [15:49] How do i change keyboard configuration in Xubuntu? [15:49] ziod, sure [15:50] !backports | ziod [15:50] ziod: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [15:50] What do I do to mount a folder to another folder? For isntance, "sudo mount /media/Media/Videos /home/dmsuperman/Videos" complains that /media/Media/Videos isn't a block device [15:50] squidly: Oh ok. That sounds reasonable. I just don't get why. Sorry can't lsmod right now, since I am at work. I will try when I get home this evening. What should I look for? [15:50] Lynet: Yes, I agree. But I found an easy workaround: "gksudo true && sudo " which basically let's gksudo ask for your password, and then let's sudo do the dirty work since you just entered your password. [15:50] How do i see a list of all running proceses? [15:50] STSX: Fair point - and good example. Had forgotten that I have done the same myself (to mount NFS shares at work). Though I guess it's never been an issue for me because the script run from the gksudo handled it's own environmental issues (or ignored them by using absolute paths!) [15:50] cjohnson: use a symbolic link instead (man ln) [15:50] soundray: it's a new drive that is only going to contain data, no programs at all. What is the absolute minimum? 1%? [15:50] WHeres a good starting point for programming in linux? I kno a small amount of C++ [15:50] fredh: look for anything with the name vm* in it [15:50] soundray, Is there a particular reason to use a symbolic link? [15:50] WaxyFresh: ps aux [15:51] STSX: Oh, how premptive laziness has saved me time and time again! [15:51] fredh: 10-1 its got some networking and sound, and usb [15:51] it may have more as well [15:51] soundray, I've done it with a folder to folder before, and it just seems to be a bit more flawless (for example ls -al will show it as a folder, as opposed to a folder linking to another folder) [15:51] fredh: The host OS needs some vmware drivers for vmware to run. lsmod should show at least vmnet, vmblock, vmci and vmmon. [15:51] bazhang, soundray, ubottu: thanks! I'll check out backports... [15:51] jmacpherson: :) [15:51] fredh: At least, those are the ones vmware workstation 6.5 beta installs on my hardy. [15:51] ziod, one of us is a bot :) [15:52] Armada: I'm sure you can set it to 0, but don't do it before you know why ext2/3 has this reserved blocks feature. [15:52] Lynet: correct. I have not used vmware for a while [15:52] cjohnson: there are mount options, --bind, --rbind, --move depending on your needs [15:52] hey guys [15:52] soundray: to reserve space for the root so it can write to the disk even when it's full, right? [15:52] cjohnson: you can always mount a device twice, but you have to call it by the block device name, not by the existing mount point [15:52] squidly: Cool, will do. Thanks a lot. [15:52] Lynet: Thanks I just get a little paranoid when stuff like that pops up when I didn't take any action (well I did install, but nothing happened for over a week) [15:52] Armada: yes [15:52] why is there not a pendrive dirstribution of ubuntu? [15:53] soundray, I have /dev/sdb2 mounted as /media/Media, I want to mount a folder within /media/Media in my home directory [15:53] the_eraser: there doesn't need to be. You can install Ubuntu on a USB device.

You have to use a symlink [15:53] hi [15:53] soundray: okay, I'll set it to 0, thank you very much for your help and sorry for asking questions that are already in the wiki, but I didn't know it was reserved space [15:53] i'm having problems with printing from openoffice, but it's only from 1 account on the machine. All the other users can print ok from their config. Before I deete loads of stuff, does anyone know of any config files I should be looking at?

Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka. 4 It then passed along to Azmon and joined the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the sea. This is their [c] southern boundary.

Are there any recommended upgrade paths? [16:00] m-c: if you install compizconfig-settings-manager it will add an "Advanced desktop settings" shortcut to your preferences menu... digging through here you can view and configure shortcuts for the different plugins [16:00] Bracki, I dont think you can directly upgrade linux systems to ubuntu [16:01] Bracki: you can only upgrade older Ubuntu versions. Other distributions, you have to do fresh installations. [16:01] #ubuntu-fr [16:01] julien_: /join [16:01] Thanks ! [16:01] julien_: de rien [16:01] m-c: The key it refers to in shortcuts is the windows key on the keyboard, if you have one (windows key, not keyboard that is) [16:02] soundray: cheers === aree is now known as areels [16:03] Lynet: when are you free to take delivery of your new washer & tumble drier? [16:04] Bracki: There are no true and tested procedures for in-place upgrade from some-linux-distro to ubuntu. The easiest way is probably to backup /home (and whatever other files you want to keep) and do a clean install of Ubuntu. [16:04] jmacpherson: thanks!! [16:05] i cant seem to kill off an app that has semi crashed? i tried as root kill -9 but it just wont kill any other command im unaware of to really kill this app [16:05] still cant get tunderbird to work [16:06] I can only write to my HFS Plus partition as root, how can I get it to work for regular users too? [16:06] ubuntuisloved: if kill -9 doesn't help, only rebooting will. [16:06] it askes for a password now when trying to send email though [16:06] and i put it in and it keeps asking for it [16:06] and i know its right [16:06] Bracki: I once moved from debian to ubuntu. Well it worked but took really long since everthing have to download again [16:07] if kill -9 doesn't work then the processes is stopped and will be killed the next time the cpu encounters it [16:07] ubuntuisloved: which app? generally kill-9 should work, but sometimes the process has a different name to what you expect. (e.g. could be a python script) also try killall -9 (or do as soundray suggests) [16:07] what is this busybox thing my computer booted into? i cant get it into ubutnu [16:07] Hi, I just changed mount options on my usbdisk and now it won't mount anymore. How can I reset this? [16:07] ubuntu* [16:07] jmacpherson: should I be able to "spin the cube" by default ? [16:08] ahh found it guys ....xkill does the trick? not sure why [16:08] i cant open /etc/mtab. surely this must be something wrong? [16:08] m-c: I think the default is "desktop wall" which allows ctrl+alt+ to slide between virtual desktops [16:08] I can only write to my HFS Plus partition as root, how can I get it to work for regular users too? [16:08] m-c: the compiz settings app will allow you to enable the cube instead [16:09] jmacpherson: the shortcut is not functioning right now... maybe I need to install that package first? [16:09] could a wonky RAM connection create a kernel panic{ [16:09] jamey-uk: I have no specific information on hfsplus, but you could make a directory inside the filesystem with group write permissions and a group that all your users belong to [16:09] hello, i just did an ubuntu install and I get an Grub Error 17 coud someone help? The first primary master hdd is 80 G with xp on it with the xp-`s MBR (witch I wish to remain untouched) and second one is with Ubuntu and fc [16:09] soundray, actually xkill killed it from xscreen but the dang thing is still running...time to reboot [16:09] jamey-uk: or you could explore the umask, uid and gid settings that that particular filesystem driver offers (probably described in man mount or man hfsplus) [16:10] just wish there was a manual for the default compiz configuration. I am not wanting to load anything extra, just to know what is already enabled. [16:10] Did anyone else have their display setting jacked up after running yesterdays updates? [16:10] m-c: someone correct me if I'm wrong but you should get at least the wall running if you go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects and select either "Normal or Extra" [16:11] jmacpherson: just checked again, and Extra is enabled here [16:11] could a wonky RAM connection create a kernel panic? [16:11] hello, somebody can help me with a library permission problem. I have openldap and the process deb4.2_recover call lib but the lib is forbiden for any user, anyone have an idea? [16:11] m-c: yeah that's the best I know. but if you install the app, it won't enable anything extra unless you tell it to, but you can see from the app what is currently enabled and what the shortcuts are [16:11] jmacpherson: wish that "Help" button worked on that GUI page, that'd be the place to describe the functions [16:11] yamanickill: yes [16:11] m-c: fair complaint though :) [16:11] H [16:12] jmacpherson: thanks again for your advice [16:12] m-c: no problems, good luck!

[16:12] soundray: if i were to take out the RAM from the slot, could it still do it? [16:13] the_eraser: right click mtab choose properties>open with select text editor [16:13] How do I prevent my ubuntu from hard-freeze with the new kernel? Problem is caused imho by the b43 driver [16:13] yamanickill: Wonky ram can cause all sorts of random problems, inkluding kernel panics. [16:13] yamanickill: it depends on the exact nature of the fault. BTW, don't remove RAM from a running system (not sure if you were going to) [16:13] first connection ist lost, then my keyboard freezes and then the whole system halts [16:13] yeah thats bad [16:14] soundray: Started up kernel -16 and edited hosts to ensure the expected machine name was in there. The sudo and gksudo problems now seem to have gone away in kernel -17, though the VirtualBox driver problem still occurred. As I now have root access, I was able to fix this. Thanks very much for your help, and now the question we all hate. Any idea why in incorrect host name would affect sudo in kerynel -17? [16:14] heh [16:14] soundray: sorry, missed them, thanks. But I'd like to make the whole HDD writeable (or at least by my normal user account). I have it listed in fstab and can successfully mount and unmount it based on those settings [16:14] soundray: i just broke one of my RAM slots and whenever i boot anything, it has a kernel panic [16:14] jamey-uk: see my second reply [16:15] yamanickill: it may be a deep-seated electrical fault on your mainboard [16:15] yamanickill: I believe the memtestx86 is still shipped on the ubuntu cds (and is a boot menu option). run that test and see if it confirms your issue. If it fails without the RAM even installed, then you could be in for some bad news [16:15] andy56_uk: incorrect host names always affect sudo [16:16] yamanickill: the memtest utility is available on the installation CD on the startup menu. [16:16] soundray: i'm working on a large 26in TV, sorry i missed them ;) will look into umask, uid and gid, thanks [16:16] hello i need a help [16:16] Hi all. I installed an unsupported package using synaptic. It hang during the postinst script. Where can I report that fact? [16:16] soundray: Thanks again, and will bear that in mind in future. [16:16] i have ubuntu (8.04) and i can't open my modem ( PLANET ADU 2110A USB ADSL ) help [16:17] daddy: normally an Ubuntu install should do an automatic DHCP.

[16:18] tzd yes [16:18] now i can't becaue i m in house's freind [16:18] tzd: -17. [16:19] bazhang: i see. I automatically upgraded to that one and now my computer loads constantly whn running on that new kernel? [16:19] daddy, come back when you can troubleshoot the machine directly [16:19] hi need help. I am having kernel problems since upgrading to version 8.04. pc fails to boot frequently and gives error acpi read timeout anyideas ? [16:19] Lynet: yep that's the one, thx [16:19] Anyone familiar with installing vmware server (latest) on ubuntu 8.04? [16:20] daddy: not all USB ADSL modems are supported. See if your modem has an Ethernet interface for internal connections (aside from the WAN port). If so, use that instead of the USB connection [16:21] soundray ok but [16:21] soundray you can't tell me driver or other file ? [16:21] hey soundray: remember that issue I was tellin u guys about before..well I checked "Driver emulation" under audio in wine and no sound works in hl1 single player [16:21] anyone able to help with kernel issues? [16:22] I can't seem to identify any blank dvd+rw discs inserted, any one has any ideas? [16:22] will try to boot up in the previous kernel and see if that helps, pretty sure it has to do with that new kernel :/ [16:22] brb [16:22] daddy: if that's not an option, try to identify the line in the output from 'lsusb' that corresponds to your modem. It contains a USB ID -- do a web search on that ID and "ubuntu" [16:22] ahhh i think i've fixed it soundray...i think it just wasn't in properly...schoolboy error lol [16:22] how do i a modify the pulseaudio settings? i heard that pulseaudio support per-application sound levels [16:22] bob1122: great, well done!

When I had set my monitor and graphics card, it wouldn't save the settings at first, requiring that I set them each time I loaded ubuntu. On the last time I did it, the screen looked really bad, to where I can't see anything. When I did a reboot, Ubuntu loads the same way after login, to where I can't see anything. Is there a way to fix this without a reinstall?

[17:19] Georgij: no [17:19] Georgij: there's no good alternatives to windows if you want to play the latest games .. [17:19] please be more precise about what you want [17:19] HymnToLife - I can get to the login screen, but after that, it seems to have improper display settings. The screen appears 'torn' and I am unable to view anything. However, the login screen is fine. [17:19] jah: Uninstall package firefox-3.0 then install package firefox-2 [17:19] Lycade: then Ctrl+Alt+F1 will bring you a text console, just login and run that [17:19] Georgij: wine will only work some of the time, on some of the games..vm's have problems with accelerated graphics and such.. [17:20] Ah [17:20] HymnToLife - Thank you. [17:20] apt-get did nt find Devede, help [17:20] hi there, i'm having loads of problems getting openchrome to behave correctly. can anyone help me out?

[17:20] when I want to change the race it freezes [17:20] jah: Yes. [17:20] Georgij: Oblivion works with wine.. but at 1/5 of the speed you'd get in windows [17:20] Georgij: then you have no option but to stay with Windows [17:21] anyone using a macbook here? [17:21] Georgij: check the application database.. there might be some hints and tips on how to make it work [17:21] Georgij: appdb.winehq.org [17:21] hey guys where is the screen to change the video drivers ???? [17:22] any help???? [17:22] Thanks Slart [17:22] Georgij: you're welcome [17:22] After upgrading to Hardy the lower right pane of Evolution E-Mail is missing. How to restore it at the expense ofthe upper right pane? [17:22] !ask [17:22] 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. :-) [17:22] how do i save a session in gnome? and how do i remove bookmarks in the upper menu under places? [17:23] Georgij: Using virtualization software like vmware or virtualbox, you can install a full Windows inside a "fake PC" that runs under linux. The problem is that some stuff (especially accelerated graphics) will be slow or not work at all. Using Wine you can run windows pograms directly in Linux. The problem is that Wine is not a 100% complete copy of windows, so some programs won't work properly. [17:23] anyone using ubuntu can you load this page i cant seem to get it to find the plugin http://www.kidscreations.com/3dbuilder.cfm === wobblyslack is now known as slackpipe [17:24] ubuntuisloved: same here.. can't find the plugin [17:24] FF3 does not find the plugins for me, ubuntuisloved. I am on 8.04 [17:24] which is better vmware or virtualbox [17:24] ?? [17:24] hello everyone...i've got a question: I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and i have a Netgear wg111v3 USB wireless adapter installed with windows drivers with ndiswrapper... [17:25] sap, depends i kind of like the new virtualbox better and its free [17:25] hey guys where is the screen to change the video drivers ???? [17:25] it does list the available networks...and even connects...but it doesn't show the signal strength [17:25] andy idea?

[17:25] minus one the in that msg, heh [17:25] thanks ubuntuisloved [17:25] sap: They are kinda sorta the same functionality wise. Virtualbox is easier to install on cutting edge/new distributions like Hardy. [17:25] I have one package which is marked as a hold package how to remove the hold [17:26] thanks lynet [17:26] after a few recent updates today, i keep loosing out sound on my machine, requiring me to restart, using 8.04 [17:26] hello everyone...i've got a question: I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and i have a Netgear wg111v3 USB wireless adapter installed with windows drivers with ndiswrapper...it does list the available networks...and even connects...but it doesn't show the signal strength..any ideas?

[17:28] oh wait look [17:28] the prob is [17:28] try Cedega sap [17:28] ubuntuisloved: i use the dropdown menu, roaming mode enabled [17:28] is there any faster browser than firefox? [17:29] agares: Google is probably your best bet. There are so many different wifi adapters around and ndiswrapper is kinda a hack so googling for your particular adapter and ndiswrapper is usually the best short for finding out how to make it work. [17:29] i have wine i have the condition zero folder (not installed)just running [17:29] !browsers [17:29] Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) [17:29] hello, i'm looking to buy a laptop, but not sure what are good brands?

[17:30] Lynet: i did...and i did get it to work..i'm online with it just now...but it doesn't show the signal strenght... the internal wifi device does though... [17:30] irodders: in terminal dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvd with dvd inserted what do you get for message? [17:30] hi, i have problem geting my sound blaster external card to work. when i test it in the sound menu it gives a tone. however when i try to play a sound file or anythin else, it doesn't produce a sound. [17:30] sorry hl1???? [17:31] dint understand [17:31] can data be recovered from a scratched dvd? [17:31] age of empires 2 works [17:31] i guess what i meant to ask is; if im downloading updates through the update manager...and my connection is lost, there shouldnt be a problem of corrupted files or anything of that nature, right? ie it wont try to install files that arent complete or try to install something without the dependencies already dled too, ? [17:31] cp does'nt work...gives "Input/Output error" [17:31] agares: Unless someone here has the same adapter and has signal strength working, the only answer I can give you is "google for it". Sorry. :-/ [17:31] that was a mouthful [17:31] Lynet: ;(( tnx anyway... [17:32] how to troubleshoot an extremely slow ftp connection (comes down to 0.5kB/s while it could be 120kB/s) when I know the problem is not the server I'm connecting to? I use firestarter as my firewall front end and disabling the firewall doesn't change anything. it's not my router, as I can upload files fine from another computer on the same network. I am, however, connecting to the router via wifi (broadcom card with ndiswrapper) [17:32] ahh in that case its probabl not caused by ubuntu and asking in wine is a good idea, just that they get pissed off when we send too many people over there, by hl1 i meant half life one engine games [17:32] hey guys where is the screen to change the video drivers ???? [17:32] no havnt tried [17:32] HymnToLife: Thanks, once more. I did the commands you provided, and now the system operates again. [17:32] can anyone help me with my external sound blaster soundcard? [17:32] meltingclock It should not be a prob, but can be fixed if something is glitched [17:32] thanks Xbehave [17:32] kekkkk: Does download from toher places work fine? [17:32] kekkkk: Does download from other places work fine? [17:32] right on, thats a load off my mind [17:32] Lynet: oh another thing maybe... when i click on the icon with signal strength the name of the usb device is: Unknown USB vendor specific interface [17:33] Lynet, downloading yes, uploading I haven't been able to try [17:33] Xbehave It isnt our job to support wine, they have no reason to get upset [17:33] Lycade: nice :) [17:33] yeah and the usual reply just check the website as if we i dint already do that [17:33] what's the best irc client? [17:33] Lynet: why doesn't it say Netgear wg111v3 when i installed it... i didn't reboot my pc ... u think it could help? ;D [17:33] where is the Video settings in Gnome??

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [17:33] Hey. [17:34] Jack_Sparrow: when we cause the problem it is our problem, e.g with the realse of hardy apparmor was causing errors in wine, and they were right to be annoyed at us packaging wine but not having it work properly [17:34] I downloaded Celtx but there is now set up instructions or a configure file. Help please? [17:34] agares: I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Dunno, really. === aree is now known as areels [17:34] can data be recovered from a damaged dvd? [17:35] depends on damage [17:35] anirudh0: no idea, but you could give a go at a computer shop. dont think you are much help on your own if you are not specialized on the subject. [17:35] =] [17:35] areels: cp from terminal does'nt work..Input/Output error [17:35] a computer shop wouldn't know anything about recovery... [17:35] :p [17:35] What are the different options for spiffying up the default Grub boot menu on startup? I heard there are grub splash screens, and are there any other boot loaders that look a little better than a DOS window? [17:35] anirudh0: take a look at ddrescue [17:35] Lol, mine does...

[17:52] agares: lsmod [17:52] Jack_Sparrow: cool [17:52] aegzor1: you've had that problem before? ...i really hope you could remember O:-) [17:52] Lynet: first you do a defrag, en then reduce the size from within the OS and then use gparted for further reductions. [17:52] hello what do you reccomend for opening and extracting .img files [17:52] After upgrading to Hardy the lower right pane of Evolution E-Mail is missing.

[17:54] bullgard4: you are very polite :) [17:54] Ups [17:54] wrong channel, i thought it was the danish channel [17:54] Cya [17:55] Blastur: are you unpacking to same disk? [17:55] agares: the module you suggested includes ipw2200 which is the model number of an intel wireless card if that helps [17:55] jah: Fonts for: "Western" Proportional: "Serif" Size: "16" Serif: "serif" Sans-serif "sans-serif" Monospace: "monospace" Size "12" Default Character Encoding: "Western (ISO-8859-1) Allow pages to choose their own...: "Yes" [17:55] aegzor1, yes === UdontKnow is now known as Wowbagger [17:55] how slow is it? what size are the archives?

[17:55] though, the speed is very low! i get much better performance with windows xp (also same disk) [17:55] ok [17:55] jah: you key in those settings after clicking the Advance button [17:55] agares: I would guess... why not just configure the interface to be "down" permanently? [17:55] hey there, can i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 using the disk or will that do a fresh installation? [17:56] is there anyway i can profile the system to see whats going on? [17:56] stu how? [17:56] aegzor1: any brainfarts so far? [17:56] stu why permanently... [17:56] agares: by editing /etc/network/interfaces [17:56] bazzieb Use the alt for upgrade [17:56] Blastur: strace perhaps [17:56] agares: because you want to live without it ? [17:56] stu i want to turn it off when i want to... [17:56] alt? [17:56] ;D [17:56] hey guys i'm looking for the wine channel [17:56] all the time i restart my keyboard layout is reseted to usa default, any ideas howto fix it, known bug? [17:56] alternate cd isntall is like normal instal just more options are avaliable? [17:56] ghismo winehq [17:56] agares: ah.. then dont remove the module... you can just ifconfig waln0 down for example [17:56] !wine | ghismo [17:56] ghismo: 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. [17:56] Jack_Sparrow: You can't add the regular image as a software source and do an upgrade from that? [17:56] thanksSparrow [17:57] Lynet Not to my knowledge [17:57] agares: ifconfig wlan0 up and ifconfig wlan0 down will control the interface [17:57] Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean alt? [17:57] stu the problem is...that it's working ok with both turned on...just that i don't get the signal strength of the routers in the dropdown menu(list) with the USB.... the internal device does show the signals...the usb doesnt [17:57] stu any idea? [17:57] bazzieb alternate install cd [17:57] all the time i restart my keyboard layout is reseted to usa default, any ideas howto fix it, known bug? [17:58] babolat: you could try installing the latest driver directly from nvidias homepage [17:58] !alternate | bazzieb [17:58] bazzieb: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [17:58] aegzor1: are those the ones in need of compiling? [17:58] ah, thanks [17:58] anyone knows of a program to repair mp3's? [17:58] stu the signal strength bars are empty...although i CAN connect via USB to the internet... but it's a problem not knowing which router has the best signal [17:58] Lynet: Alternate is also much better quality. [17:58] babolat: i think nvidia has binary drivers on their homepage, so no compiling would be necessary [17:59] agares: nope, I experience that issue when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04... a fresh install of 8.04 fixed it though... perhaps you could "mark for complete removal" in synaptic the package that relates to the network manager (perhaps nm-applet) or something [17:59] can some1 plz tell which is the default font used in firefox in Preferences/Content? [17:59] robg_ What are you talking about [17:59] agares: iwconfig will tell you the signal [17:59] stu it DOES list routers and security type...but not signal strength [17:59] robg_: Even if I burn it to a cheapo CD-R? ;-) [17:59] Jack_Sparrow: in my opinion, Ubuntu Alternate is much better than Ubuntu Desktop. [17:59] agares: there is a iwconfig scanning option (man iwconfig) that will output the signals [18:00] ok. i'll try it aegzor1.. are those any different from what the repos offer? since i haven't missed out on any updates since i got hardy [18:00] robg_: does'nt it have exactly the same packages on it? [18:00] Lynet: I always use cheapos. [18:00] robg_ Has nothing to do with quality... [18:00] anirudh): It is simply a more robust system. [18:00] stu Link Quality:1/100 Signal level:-95 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm .... lol ... but it's not that bad i can download pretty fast... [18:00] babolat: they might be newer than those in ubuntus repos, not really sure, i don't have nvidia anymore [18:01] sorry i couldn't be more help :/ [18:01] robg_: in what sense...do you mean the packages in alternate have security updates or something? [18:01] robg_ It is the same but without the livecd feature.. Text based install... [18:01] Smart question, if emacs is so hated, why does almost everything have emacs or emacs-like keybindings by default? [18:01] Jack_Sparrow: Do not porget that it was designed a an OEM OS. [18:01] !xorg [18:01] The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [18:01] robg_: i think you are a little sleepy :) [18:02] Jack_Sparrow: It has a dedicated installer which probably masks GRUB.

[18:02] anirudh0: There's mp3val, but it looks more like an mp3 validation tool than for hard-core fixing. [18:02] having / on a lvm shouldnt effect my sound system right? i just reinstalled to put my / on a lvm the 1st install was only 10 mins old so i didnt change anything but my sound isnt working anymore. lspci shows my device but thats it [18:02] stu and i did not upgrade..i did a clean new install of 8.04... [18:02] is there some way to remove a flash partition in windows? I need to repartition this thing so I can install ubuntu and I don't have a working cdrom [18:02] anirudh0 I agree [18:02] Lynet: k..will look at it [18:02] i know it sounds stupid but thats the only diffrence on the installs [18:02] ctrl + alt + backspace also restarts Xorg right? is there a difference between that and using the init script? [18:02] How to I make a game launchable with just a command like "wow" when I open the term or command launcher [18:02] anirudh0: Do not forget that Ubuntu Desktop is a transitional technology for dual-boot. [18:03] robg_: i must correct my earlier statement..you are very sleepy or a little high :) [18:03] robg_ Where are you getting your information [18:03] irc.langochat.net [18:04] How to I make a game launchable with just a command like "wow" when I open the term or command launcher [18:04] Luhta: the partitions don't show up in disk management in windows? [18:04] anirudh0: perhaps we are talking about different OSes. [18:04] Where does kino store its temporary files ? [18:04] absnt, the easy answer to that question is to put #!/bin/sh on the first line of the file then put the commands after which you would normally execute to launch it [18:04] i think someone else is masquerading as robg_ [18:04] Jack_Sparrow: I have it running on my PC. [18:04] trolleh, yes however "delete" is disabled without much explanation [18:04] Luhta: On the first line of what file? [18:05] robg_ I dont know what to say about the advice you are giving [18:05] is it possible for me to run something via ssh, and have it show up on the display on the machine, so if i start firefox via ssh, it should show up on the display on the actual pc. [18:05] one more question, once i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04, is there a rollback option by anychance? [18:05] absnt: It needs to be in your $PATH. Either add a symlink in ~/bin/ or add the directory that wow is in to your PATH. [18:05] bazzieb: No. [18:05] absnt, a new file that you would create, search google for an introduction to shell scripting for mor information [18:05] bazzieb not unless you made a backup [18:05] backup is a good idea, thanks [18:06] !backup [18:06] There are many ways to back your system up.

[18:06] can I use ubuntu aside from two other OS? I want to tripple boot with grub, and I would like to keep my Windows XP and another linux distro. is it posible? ofcourse all on differrent hdd partitions (mountpoints) [18:06] Luhta: the reason I ask is because im trying to use a command "nonXgl" to launch the game in its own X server but it doesnt work because the path to the game has spaces in it and using "\" doesn't work for some stupid reason. [18:06] !firefox [18:06] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[18:08] Can someone help me fix my Oblivion please it works but it freezes everytime i wanna change the age or the race of the character at the begining of the game please help me! [18:08] Lynet: you were right..mp3val only checks..no fixing :( [18:08] absnt, Lynet, that will only work if the program that launches it deals with spaces well [18:08] Can anyone tell me how can i be connected to the Internet when the wireless signal meter shows 0 signal for each router???? I have an integrated wifi card too...and that one does show the signal...the usb doesn't....

[18:12] Anyone else lose padlock_aes.ko with today's kernel update? I'm trying to figure out how to make cryptsetup use the new ones they have installed now. [18:12] shadowman: Well, I dunno, it seems random. Sometimes the screensaver's running and the system just hangs - can't reboot or kill X, although SysRq works [18:12] so I recompile with dpkg-buildpackage, but it seems some version problem to insmod that module [18:12] Luhta: I made the dir /bin/wow/ and put the link in there and now it says permission denied, I changed the permissions and it still says it [18:12] thanius, I'm guessing the mouse continues to move when it happens? [18:12] Hi [18:12] shadowman: Yup [18:13] Luhta: I mean, yup [18:13] yes i got it to work thanks! [18:13] Should I install directx in wine to play oblivion? [18:13] hmm.... look at thesystem monitor. find the proces that takes a lot of resources and tell me what it is?

[18:13] is it a default install? which packages (programs have installed after installing the system? [18:13] absnt, could you do an ls -l on the symlink so I can see what it's pointing at? [18:13] Luhta: You're a good gusser. :) [18:14] Is there a way to set the size of icons on the desktop as default? [18:14] problem is in drivers?

[18:15] thanius, well it's a known issue and actually a bug in the nvidia driver from how it was explained to me, and has been around for a while, my understanding is the only way to get it to go away is to either figure out which age old driver didn't have the bug or disable smp which will cut your performance [18:15] is there a way to make the bottom and top of the cube different colors?? [18:15] Georgij: in gnome i dunno in kde there is a way === yesudeep1 is now known as yesudeep [18:15] oh [18:15] Luhta: Is there a way to get the latest driver used in Gutsy?

[18:16] Georgij: Grab a 360 [18:16] I downloaded kubuntu 8.04 iso. Is there a way to copy files to usb and make it bootable because I dont have any optics on computer I want to install it to ?? [18:17] Georgij: ask in #winehq.. and just a hint.. stop with the whining and caps.. noone will help you if you behave like that [18:17] thanius, well as I understand it "Latest" is the problem, but I know that it's been around for a while so the impression it left me with was that the only real option was to disable smp (reducing performance) or use an unrestricted driver (even worse an option if you're a gamer or use compiz) [18:17] absnt, I didn't forget about you [18:17] Arleas: start the file manager (thunar, I assume) with gksudo. Alternatively, use sudo cp on the command line [18:17] Slart, none will help me anyways and dont you think I have checked winehq? [18:18] mad_max02 - i did that on my EEE PC: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home follow the USB instructions there [18:18] hello.

[18:18] Luhta: I guess I'll try reverting the driver version by version then. :) [18:18] Luhta: ok i got it kinda working, it says "failed to open Z:\bin\WTF" because its launching from /bin/ thinking that its the wow dir, but it should be launching from the wine dir, I thought it would because its just a link right? [18:18] Anyone know why padlock_aes.ko went away with today's kernel upgrade? [18:18] Luhta: Didn't have this problem a week ago [18:18] Georgij: I don't know what you've checked and what you haven't.. #winehq is the offical support channel for wine [18:18] !install | mad_max02 [18:18] mad_max02: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Any ideas? [18:23] SuperMENG: take a deep breath and think about it first.. fakeraid doesn't give you much extra speed.. and if your motherboard dies you'll have to find a new one with the exact same chip.. go for software raid instead [18:23] hackofchris: not sure about install intel drivers, sorry :( [18:23] hello, i can't get ubuntu to boot into a text login only (no GUI) [18:23] Arleas: no, that's not necessarily true [18:23] Luhta: but that doesn't work with my nonXgl command =/ because its dumb and doesn't like spaces [18:23] yes [18:23] soundray: no i'm usinig it correctly, it replys that xorg file is backuped [18:23] i've tried different run levels, init levels, /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:23] how to [18:23] no joy =( [18:23] Arleas: you will never have to pay for Linux, that's for sure [18:23] Frogzoo_: and every time I compile, it's CC and LD successfully, but failed to insert [18:24] I try apt-get instasll dmraid [18:24] absnt, can you pastebin nonXgl so I can see what you're working with [18:24] Anyone know how to install a intel driver on ubuntu 8.04 [18:24] SuperMENG: I don't know if the alternate install handles software raid.. but it might [18:24] Arleas: not completely true but it will give you lots of freedom.

[18:26] robg_: but then i'm paying for maintenance and not for the operating system! It cuts down the cost of building a PC by about £70... [18:26] I press alt+f2 to console [18:26] A book from ubuntu [18:26] Jack_Sparrow: thnak you good to know [18:26] np [18:26] For Begineers [18:26] bullgard1: you tried #ubuntu-de? [18:26] absnt, I'm not 100% sure about this change but do this change the last line from exec $@ to exec "$@" [18:26] SuperMENG: If you have not installed any packages yet, you may first need: sudo apt-get update [18:26] daysleepr: can you use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to get to a console while at the graphical login? [18:27] Arleas: technically Ubuntu is free open source software. Only the restricted drivers are commercial products. Maintenance and support is something else. [18:27] yes, but i need the graphical interface shut down completely [18:27] Luhta: nope =/ still says the dir was not found [18:27] trying to install NVIDIA-Linux drivers and it wants the GUI off [18:27] soundray: So thank you very much for your patient help yesterday. I tried ubuntu-de on 3 different days. May be I should try next week once again. [18:27] anyone know how to install intel graphic drivers in ubuntu 8.04? [18:27] Anybody know why the cd's aren't detected [18:27] how are you launching it with that script [18:27] absnt how are you launching it with that script [18:27] so, i'm about right then! it's a good reason to stick with learning linux...

[18:29] I dont' know where to type "sudo apt-get install dmraid" [18:29] or put some nonsense in driver section in xorg.conf, then x cant come up [18:29] Luhta: Well that works nicely =D Thanks [18:29] How do i install new intel 945 driver in ubuntu? [18:29] hi, i just upgraded to gutsy and when i open a window (ie; places > home folder), it opens for a flah and then disappears. also the graphics are hideous, and im sure it has something to do with my ati x1400 graphics card. any fixes? [18:29] absnt, you're welcome one more thing [18:29] soundray: I consider that a last resort because I would need several adjustments anew which took me several days in the past, for example to re-establish the framebuffer console. [18:29] robg_: just come right out and say Linux is economically superior! :) [18:29] the ubuntu way? is that something new? i'm still on 7.10 [18:29] Ubuntu 7.10 won't run directly from CD anymore :(, help [18:29] Hi there again, I'm trying to revert the nvidia-driver, should I just install the restricted-modules package without the .36-suffix? [18:29] Arleas: probably so in many situations [18:30] daysleepr, from a console you can do a /etc/init.d/gdm stop [18:30] the weird thing is, i run nvidia-xconfig and it writes a new .conf file but gdm doesn't seem to listen... [18:30] this will stop your X [18:30] daysleepr: System-Administration-Restricted Drivers [18:30] absnt, if you're up to date with wine and ubuntu I can tell you from experience nonXgl is not neccesary anymore unless you have reason to do it that way, I have played wow for hours at a time on a composite desktop with 0 problems === GodMok is now known as godmok_ [18:30] Firefox crashes on me in Hardy Heron when watching Flash videos. Can anyone help? [18:31] Arleas: It depends whether Ubuntu succeeds in building an online support infrastructure that can offload maintenance for a reasonable fee. [18:31] robg_/soundray: thanks for the help [18:31] how do i figure out what my windows partition is? (e.x /dev/sda4) [18:31] hackofchris: Usually Ubuntu installs them automatically. At least this is the case with me since two years. Otherwise be more specific and state details of your situation. [18:31] Luhta: I am actually doing it to see if I can fix some TF2 problems =/ it doesn't want to change the resolution.. every time I try it freezes with a black screen =/ [18:31] noodles12 sudo fdisk -l last letter is L [18:31] just look at the partition size [18:31] Fructose: acess http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html [18:31] http://coringao.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/download-flashplayer10.jpg?w=500&h=203 [18:31] anyone help me... installing ubuntu server 8.04 64bit into raid ...

[18:32] icqnumber: why don't you go through sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg as I suggested? [18:32] hackofchris: So you could at least state what your old drivers were.

[18:46] pici: i did that, but not joy - it worked on mac os x... [18:46] anirudh0: No, it is a HD video [18:47] anirudh0: and the osd is also pixellated [18:47] soundray: ok i will try it again...

[18:47] luhta, the game is windows native, so it's running under wine, and i think compiz is on, it's what ever gets installed by default with ubuntu [18:47] hackofchris: (line 3 is important.) I have a predecessor of yours, and Ubuntu always automatically loaded the proper VGA driver.

[18:50] Luhta: that is the windows command :S [18:50] hackofchris, that sounds like it's onboard there may be a setting in your bios to increase the memory allocation to video memory at the expense of system memory [18:50] bullgard1, is that what you wanted? [18:50] bullgard1: so what? That's the point of the pastebin. [18:50] kontagious, I realize that but as I said the question wasn't for me [18:50] Luhta: lol ok [18:50] Kl4m: /mnt/distro is the mount point, it is an extra partition, with almost nothing on it. [18:50] kontagious, I ment in ubunut ^^ [18:50] Luhta, how in the world do i do that? [18:50] Kl4m: that is why I don't understand how it could be busy? I don't have any docs open from that partition [18:51] shane2peru: do you have any nautilus or any shell open with current directory as /mnt/distro or a sub-dir ? [18:51] hackofchris: are you related to jack [18:51] jack? [18:51] anyone know what would cause most "gnome" apps to not display their contents? [18:51] hackofchris: I am not familiar with the current situation of 945 drivers. But using this information, a knowledgeable person should be able to advice you the proper driver. [18:51] only happened after I ran updates this morning. [18:51] hackofchris, it varies from system to system I'd recommend you take a look at your motherboard manual and see if it has the option, if it does, you may get a benifit from increasing memory allocated to video, beyond that I'm afraid I can't really be much help [18:51] shane2peru: lsof /mnt/distro [18:51] Kl4m: no, nothing, that is what I checked too, odd, it is in the fstab, but that shouldn't keep it from umounting [18:52] hackofchris: what driver are you currently using? [18:52] Question, I want to change the permissions of all files/directories recursively in such a way they become GROUP +rw --- but I do not want to change the CHMOD except for that, how can I do so? (ex, if it was already set to a certain chmod, I dont want to affect that -- just want to make it group +rw if it is not already) ? [18:52] soundray, 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [18:52] i have a problem with a samba share. I new to ubuntu and not sure what "location" is, but when i access the sambe share through it, the econding is corrent. Using cifs with utf8 and smfs in fstab does not seem to give me the right encoding. what could be the problem ? [18:52] tonewhy: is it working? [18:52] shane2peru: lsof | grep /mnt/distro [18:52] CapaH: use chmod -r g+rw [18:53] hackofchris: that's your hardware. I'm asking about the driver you are currently using. [18:53] soundray, is that what you wanted? [18:53] o [18:53] Kl4m: ahhh, nevermind! I found it, I had run 'sudo -i' and was working in root, but before that, I was in that folder, so even though I left that folder, my user was still there [18:53] it seems to only happen with gnome-specific applications. [18:53] !shadowman hmm its still not, and the graphics is also not working either. its really pixilly and blury [18:53] tonewhy: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:53] Kl4m: wow, that was odd, lol, thanks for the help [18:53] firefox & other apps are working fine it seems. [18:54] tonewhy: Please don't prefix your responses with ! , you're confusing the bot. [18:54] soundray, how do i get the driver information? [18:54] tonewhy: please don't use ! as the first character [18:54] tonewhy: are effects enagled? [18:54] tonewhy: don't put a ! before a nick, type the first letters and complete with [18:54] tonewhy: what resolution? [18:54] Kl4m: that lsof is awesome! new one for the book for me, thanks [18:54] jack_sparrow: it runs under DOSBOX no problems, thanks for the help! [18:54] Kl4m: why does lsof /mnt/distro not work? [18:55] tonewhy: if it is a laptop 15:4 it should be 120:800, if it is 1024x768 the drivers are not working:( [18:55] shane2peru: there's something "better" than lsof but I don't remember [18:55] hackofchris: please copy your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the URL [18:55] anirudh0, it should providing the directory exists, however it won't display anything if nothing is open [18:55] *1280x800 [18:55] Kl4m: fuser? [18:55] anirudh0: because I didn't know any better :) [18:55] anirudh0: you probably don' t have anything mounted there [18:55] how do i strart kde from the command line [18:55] Luhta: nope..try lsof ~/ [18:55] shadowman, its a 120:800, but its set on auto res. so i'll try the 120:80 manully [18:56] Luhta: does'nt seem to show everything [18:56] anirudh0: ahh, you were helping me with my menu.lst before, remember, I have to tell you what happened [18:56] anirudh0, it will only show files in use [18:56] tonewhy: try it, but it should work out of the box for nvidia, that is strange... [18:56] shane2peru: yes [18:56] anirudh0, lsof = list open files [18:56] anirudh0: remember I edied my menu.lst and it didn' t change? [18:56] how do I compile and install devede? [18:56] soundray, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15129/ [18:56] drivers should work out of the box on ubuntu. that is why we use it:) [18:57] shane2peru: yes..you fixed it? [18:57] anirudh0: I have two hdd, and as it turns out I was booting off sdb, not sda! I had a real mess [18:57] shadowman, ya i didn't have any problems when i had 6.10 [18:57] kushal1: any reason why you're not taking it from the repositories? [18:57] shane2peru: :) [18:57] anirudh0: that is why when I edited my menu.lst on sda1 nothing showed up [18:57] tonewhy: start the screensaver if it is lagging, it is the dirvers... [18:57] i tried sudo apt-get install devede which did not work [18:57] be r8 back got 2 goto loo:) [18:57] anirudh0: after the kernel update, it left me with a real mess, I re-installed [18:57] shane2peru: tough one to diagnose...i guess [18:57] !info devede | kushal1 [18:57] kushal1: devede (source: devede): program to create video DVDs. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.6-0.0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 1128 kB, installed size 2592 kB [18:58] kushal1: you need to enable multiverse, then you can apt-get it [18:58] !multiverse | kushal1 [18:58] kushal1: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories [18:58] anirudh0: long story short, I installed a second hdd, and copied everything over to the new and started booting off it, forgot to change the BIOS to reflect that change [18:58] hello my thinkpad makes strange noises out of my soundcard plugs, under windows there is no noise. [18:58] kushal1: it may be easiest to enable multiverse through System-Admin-Software Sources [18:58] anirudh0: booted off sdb, and ran off sda because I updated fstab, menu, all to show sda lol [18:59] rawmeat: i have the same problem...it occurs randomly for me [18:59] anirudh0: what a disaster, lol, got it all fixed now. thanks for the help though. [18:59] rawmeat: sometimes when i try to close the lid [18:59] shane2peru: np [18:59] at mine all the time. [18:59] hackofchris: look at line 298: you're already using the correct driver for your card. [18:59] soundray, does that tell you anything? [18:59] i am back... [18:59] it makes me boot windows xp where there is no such noise. === HOHO is now known as COWO_22_Semangat [18:59] soundray, so why is my graphics still so choppy? [18:59] rawmeat: a whining sound? [18:59] shadowman, ya its definatly drivers i think the scrensaver doesn't even render [19:00] hi [19:00] I'm not able to use all resolutions my hardware supports, Xorg.0.log show that x is using xorg.conf.failsafe. This is not an ati/nvidea issue. Hints? [19:00] quick question. Do you guys like Fluxbox or Gnome better?

[19:01] knopf: can't you change it? it's what a wiki is all about after all [19:01] yesterday there where no such noises. [19:01] Slart: I don't see an edit button anywhere on that page [19:02] Is it just me, or are Ubuntu repositories down? [19:02] irc://freenode/soundray,isnick [19:02] rawmeat: i think its the cpu speaker beeping..and not the main one..dunno why though [19:02] thanks, soundray [19:02] hello [19:02] hm [19:02] knopf: hmm.. seems your right.. odd [19:02] works here m1dn1ght [19:03] whats the right software for speedstep on core2duo cpus? [19:03] m1dn1ght: they are working... [19:03] soundray: any thoughts? [19:03] cheers fellas. must be on my end. very odd indeed [19:03] m1dn1ght: Just you. Or, one of the mirrors might be down, try changing your mirror in system - admin - software sources. Download from: [19:03] Can someone help me fix this...when I try to launch ubuntu i get this error "The display sever has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting 2 minutes before trying again on display :0." [19:03] knopf: oh.. it isn't a wiki.. it's a help page *about* a wiki.. my bad [19:03] I changed synaptic from UK repository to main one - didn't help [19:03] MiLK: restart computer [19:04] i have made a minor modification to the Romanian keyboard layout that is quite important in respect to ortographic norms [19:04] not so much down - downloading at 0.5k a second, instead of my usual 1.5meg :) [19:04] or you did already [19:04] hackofchris: did you paste your entire log? [19:04] rawmeat: you mean cpu frequency scaling..cpufreq-selector [19:04] m1dn1ght: swedish servers seems to be up [19:04] shadowman - i tried several times :-/ [19:04] is there a way I can make this modification available for the future updates (or versions of ubuntu) [19:04] hackofchris: I wonder if the repeated "fbc disabled on plane a" messages have something to do with it [19:04] ? [19:04] anirudh0: its not in the repos (cpufreq-selector) [19:04] SliMM: #ubuntu-devel [19:05] I have a screen resolution question. I have an ubuntu 7.10 server that was built with a 17" flat panel monitor and all the graphics worked fine. when I moved it to the server room and KVM which has an older 15" crt monitor I would get a resolution error and not be able to see the server, so I connected the FP to it and in the ubuntu gui I reduced the resolution to 800x600, that seems to work except during boot. is it possible that the splash [19:05] Why do i get this pixxelated video in vlc when using X11 output with fullscreen: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/3920/pixellhi7.png [19:05] "fbc disbled on plane a"? what does that mean? [19:05] how do I find out what files have been installed by a given package? [19:05] on the command line [19:05] I know it's possible because synaptic does it [19:05] rawmeat: its a part of gnome-applets [19:05] soundray: i did paste the entire log [19:06] hackofchris: I don't know, but there's a lot of those in your log file [19:06] Bizarre...rest of the internet seems fine. No idea what could possibly cause everything except Ubuntu repositories to be fine.... [19:06] SliMM: keyboard layout important for ortographic norms??? just curious.. what does "ortographic norms" mean? [19:06] hm i better reinstall them [19:06] anyone else got any ideas? [19:06] How do i check what driver is in use? [19:06] change your repo [19:07] the_eraser: if you are using restricted drivers, there is a shortcut in the menu [19:07] Slart: ortographic doesn't also mean the way you write letters? [19:07] SliMM: ahh.. nevermind..looked it up.. thought you were talking about 3d projections and such.. [19:07] soundray: thank you, it started to work, after i have restarted [19:07] shadowman: yes its restricted but the shortcut menu dont tell me the packages name [19:07] I must have chosen the only 2 non working repos to check :) Just switched to Oxford Uni mirror and working fine now - doh! [19:07] SliMM: it does indeed [19:07] Thanks for the help guys! [19:08] My computer stops at : running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) and stops there after todays upgrade. Any ideas on how to fix [19:08] Slart: not orthogonal or whatever >_< [19:08] is there any way i can just like reset my unbuntu installation without actually reinstalling it? [19:08] anyone know what "fbc disabled on plane a" means? [19:08] Why do i get this pixelated video in vlc when using X11 output with fullscreen: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/3920/pixellhi7.png [19:08] SliMM: =) [19:08] Slart: so, any ideas? [19:08] SliMM: not unless you know which package the file is from.. [19:08] Is there a reason dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't allow me to change settings for my video card? [19:08] ICQnumber_: you can restart X after changing the configuration by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (saves you the reboot) [19:08] the packages name... try to see in synaptic [19:08] mm [19:09] Slart: it's just the "ro" keyboard layout file [19:09] SliMM: you could try using apt-file to see what package it's from.. then mail the developer [19:09] gotta go for the next 10 minutes. c u all soon... [19:09] ok [19:09] how can I find out what package it's from? [19:09] ok :) [19:09] SliMM: there is a utility called apt-file that searches packages for filenames [19:09] !info apt-file [19:09] apt-file (source: apt-file): APT package searching utility -- command-line interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.0 (hardy), package size 16 kB, installed size 120 kB [19:09] Slart: thanks [19:09] hackofchris: there's another thing in there that worries me: (WW) intel(0): Bad V_BIOS checksum [19:10] soundray: yep, i know, i had no clue howto set up my keyboard by hand, because it was working out of the box with opensuse [19:10] soundray: what does that mean? [19:10] is there a way to boot a CD from grub command line? [19:10] Is there any plans to patch ubuntu to handle kvms more gracefully? [19:11] hackofchris: you might try to reboot your machine and see if the message appears in the log again. If it does, it's possibly a fault with the graphics hardware. [19:11] SliMM: shutdown -r now? only way of booting from a cd that I know of.. unless you're talking about a vm [19:11] SliMM: yes it can...please google for the details [19:11] icqnumber: well, yeah, suse with their German tradition should be expected to do that particularly well [19:11] soundray: is there a solution if there is a fault with the graphics hardware === sars-aeol is now known as MAHerron [19:12] kleedrac_work, you can read on KVM and ubuntus plans for it and more@ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Intrepid [19:12] Why cant I use compiz with XV video output? When compiz is enabled i get just black screen [19:12] Slart: my BIOS is... broken, quite difficult to boot from a CD (actually I find it impossible) [19:12] hackofchris: have it repaired or exchanged. Preferably on warranty. You'd have to solidify the evidence, though. [19:12] anirudh0: will it work for the standard ubuntu live & installation CD? [19:12] SliMM: yes [19:12] soundray: ok thanks, gonna try a reboot [19:12] Can anyone help me with this error: "The display sever has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting 2 minutes before trying again on display :0." ? [19:12] SliMM: keep you finger on the boot options key (F8) [19:13] Thanks macd but it seems to only be refferring to kvm as the virtualization software and not the hardware switch :P === ICQnumber_ is now known as icqnumber [19:13] ICQnumber_: having said that, if you configure your keyboard correctly during the installation, you shouldn't encounter this problem. [19:13] SliMM: hmm... I don't think there's a lot you can do from ubuntu to change that.. [19:13] MiLK: it means Xorg encounters errors just after login that force it to restart [19:13] kleedrac_work, Im not sure how an operating system could handle a external hardware device thats transparent to it any more gracefully [19:13] MiLK: read /var/log/Xorg.0.log for details [19:13] anirudh0: thank God, I'll finally be able to fix my gutsy-hardy Ubuntu [19:14] kleedrac_work, is it possible you have an older analog type KVM with no keep alive? [19:14] macd: It's more to do with the fact that it listens to the junk sent down the line to the point I have to remodprobe my mouse when switching back to the ubuntu box [19:14] SliMM: check the md5sum of your iso first though [19:14] salu [19:14] macd: I've built a simple shell script to do it and bound it to a keystroke so I'm as close to convenient as it's gonna get on my end ... I'm kinda hoping they start working on why xorg listens to that junk in the first place [19:14] hi, just migrated to ubuntu today, bascially i copied my firefox profile from the windows dir to /etc/firefox-3.0/ and renamed it using sudo to profile, but firefox still remains the same, any ideas?

I need a hardy dvd, because where I'm intending to work there's no net. There's just one problem, because the md5 sums don't fit what so ever and the dvd i've burned already tests 11 files as wrong... the files I'm talking about are on cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current and .../080423 any proposals? [20:18] fde: ok [20:18] bietz: They've been working on it now for something like 3 years. [20:18] This is done through ACLs in squid and this thing is working very fine. Server has no proxy set, so all sites are accessible in the server. Machines over the LAN are connected to this squid server, and hence, all the above said sites and job search sites are disabled. [20:18] robg_: i did and i ifconfiged it to an ip no results [20:18] fde: oh... [20:19] the problem with it is now [20:19] Some users do need to access gmail or orkut for any genuine purpose, or the work allotted to him is over, so they can do whatever they want. In this case, the present solution is remove that IP address from the ACL and restart squid. This is not a good solution as a network administrator needs to sit with this all the time. Moreover, the user has still access to the source code and the risk still exists. (Or the files needed to be moved from the system befor [20:19] e allowing these sites, which is not fair and practical). [20:19] anyway, thanks for your help! [20:19] bye [20:19] orkut for a genuine purpose? [20:19] does anybody have display problems with intel graphics and dual monitors? i can't access the top panel on my left screen, and the wallpaper on my right screen is not displayed properly [20:19] robg_ cannot tell from here.

[20:22] Slart::) [20:22] kurugah: find a friend will some expertise. [20:22] Slart :other than that [20:22] Slart:atleast for ma long explanation [20:22] k33qk: you want a proxy that can be disabled whenever the user wants to? then why have a proxy at all? [20:23] how do i enable telnet? [20:23] how does ubuntu work with nvidia ? [20:23] it works very well [20:23] anigma, it works well with nvidia [20:23] anigma: envy [20:23] robg_: thank you for your time. ill think ill try another distro then [20:23] hi [20:23] anigma: check the driver manager [20:23] I have a question [20:23] kurugah: I have tried them all. [20:24] k33qk: or you want to be able to allow a user to bypass the restrictions when the network admin says it's alright? [20:24] can you install ubuntu mobile on a moto q [20:24] Slart:yes [20:24] how do i enable telnet? [20:25] how do you get in on or where to go [20:25] Slart:But the network administrator needs to sit with this all the time [20:25] harpeet, just use it in terminal [20:25] harpreet: type 'telnet' on a terminal [20:25] without the quotes, obviously [20:25] type 'q' to quit [20:25] type in man telnet harpreet that will give you a lesson how to use it [20:25] k33qk: I still think setting up some kind of internet-enabled public computer is the way to go [20:25] harpreet: what do you mean by telnet do you mean the daemon? [20:26] Slart:even i thought In this case, to remove that IP address from the ACL and restart squid [20:26] kitche, telnet for host to host remote connection [20:26] Slart:but i need a better solution [20:26] k33qk: or find a proxy that doesn't have to be restarted to change settings [20:26] harpreet: telnet is the command you want but you still did not fully answer my question [20:27] Kitche, I want to set up a telnet server [20:27] Slart :can u explain it ? [20:27] when I set up a cron job through kcron, does kcron need to always be open for it to work? [20:27] harpreet: you would install telnetd and open server port TCP 23 [20:27] gnutron: advice is telnet is old school, use sshd instead. [20:27] k33qk: I don't have any solutions for you.. I'm just bouncing ideas [20:28] harpreet: ok you need to edit the /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment the telnet line but anyways you should use ssh really unless you are setting up a game or something [20:28] Slart:oh [20:28] i'm talking to myself, disregard that.

[20:35] whats the bitchx client called in Ubuntu [20:35] na elmentek a pics@ba... [20:35] 1 enként:@ [20:35] MINDENKI [20:35] acid-trip: what do you mean? [20:35] Radit: try system > preferences > preferred appliactions. [20:35] Seeker`, when i run apt-get install bitchx [20:35] how do a I add a user to the sudoers file? [20:35] doesn't show up [20:35] it fails [20:35] acid-trip: bitchx :) [20:36] well i guess no one here has any info at this time.. :) thanks anyway.. [20:36] shane2peru: sudo visudo [20:36] bye [20:36] the only problem is that the system is on the hard disc, and i have to unmount the hard disc in order to partition it [20:36] acid-trip: have you tried running it from the command line [20:36] Slart:that sounds reasonable but i am not the one who is facing the problem [20:36] any suggestions? [20:36] Anyone have problems connecting to a router with BCM4401 ethernet card(wired)? [20:36] gnutron: is that vi? I don' t do vi. [20:36] my audio suddenly stopped working and i went through the audio troubleshooting guide with no luck [20:36] Seeker`, yeah [20:36] k33qk: well.. back to the /tmp folder.. you could always have a separate /tmp folder for the guest [20:36] i'm on ssh access to the machine [20:36] gnutron: can I sudo nanosudo? [20:37] acid-trip: Do you get any error messages? [20:37] SliMM: you can use gparted to examine a harddisk and edit it. [20:37] shane2peru: no choice, /etc/sudoers file must be editted by visudo only. [20:37] How can I set it up, so "python" by default, uses python 2.4? [20:37] unstable: alias the command [20:37] E: Couldn't find package Bitchx [20:37] robg_: it says that i have to unmount it in order to edit it [20:37] shane2peru: sudo less /etc/sudoers and read it first [20:37] gnutron: ahh, man I hate vi, it is not a simple editor, I'm sure it is powerfull, I just don't know how to use it. [20:37] slart:oh..is it so? [20:38] acid-trip: it's bitchx not BitchX [20:38] k33qk: I don't really know.. I haven't tried this before.. but it should be possible [20:38] SliMM: you can also shut down linux and boot up gparted from CD-ROM [20:38] gnutron: how do I get out of this vi?? editor? [20:38] E: Couldn't find package bitchx [20:38] robg_: well, can i just unmount the partition? [20:38] acid-trip: I dont think it is in the repos [20:38] shane2peru: esc, :q! [20:38] apt-cache search bitchx shows nothing [20:38] gnutron: it is so powerfull ctrl-c doesn' t even work [20:38] :/ [20:39] shane2peru: hit escape then :wq will save and exit [20:39] acid-trip: no more bx i noticed too... [20:39] shane2peru: then enter [20:39] :/ [20:39] * acid-trip likes bitchx [20:39] lol [20:39] SliMM: I do not know. I always do everything with tools. [20:39] not even epic [20:39] lol [20:39] acid-trip: ive been using pidgin.. actually like [20:39] Odd-rationale: thanks, I'm so not a vi person [20:39] arpreply, i'm in ssh [20:39] lol [20:39] acid-trip: have you got universe enabled? [20:39] it's epic4 [20:39] lol [20:39] robg_: i am not against doing it with tools, but i find it difficult if not impossible to boot from a cd [20:40] shane2peru: once you get used to it, you'll love it! [20:40] acid-trip: www.bitchx.com/download/ircii-pana-1.1-final.tar.gz [20:40] SliMM: just keep your finger on the boot options key (f*) [20:40] I need help with partition information [20:40] Odd-rationale: I'm a simple nano guy, or gedit, lol [20:40] robg_: grub? [20:40] SliMM: gparted liveCD [20:41] I have a main partition of 10gigs for "/" and I fear it isn't enough, but I can't resize it [20:41] hi, how can I enable "mouse gestures" or something like that (so [20:41] what would cause a long delay (black screen) between grub loading of kernel and the splash screen to show up (where the orange ubuntu bar is going across the screen)? [20:41] is there anyway to pass the sound of microphone in the virtual machine of virtualbox? [20:41] robg_: in order to use it i have to boot from it, does work with GRUB? [20:41] acid-trip: actually it seems liek bitchx is not in the repos anymore [20:41] kitche, that kind of sucks [20:41] SliMM-> you can not dismount if you only have one disk and same disk is where you have your linux installed === effie is now known as effie_jayx [20:42] yo i have ONE pidgin frozen window... ( i restarted pidgin) but the chat window stayed and i cant turn it off, how can i kill it ? [20:42] SliMM: I never work with GRUB. You force a CD boot by keeping your finger on F8. [20:42] acid-trip: sicne I checked the packages.ubuntu.com and only thing that comes up is epic4 among others since they have themes for it [20:42] long delay, as in > 30 seconds, it only happens when I connect the computer to the tv, there is no delay when I connect the machine to an LCD display, it seems like a display probing/detection problem, can I disable that somehow? [20:42] tyler: 10 gigs is enough. [20:42] !info bitchx [20:42] Package bitchx does not exist in hardy [20:42] acid-trip: but you could use finch if you wanted to really but finch/pidgin is not really good for irc [20:42] amenado: could I use a RAM Disk temporarily? [20:43] kitche, like i said i'm using ubuntu through ssh [20:43] on my personal machine i use bsd [20:43] lol [20:43] gnutron: but I'm doing alot of dvd ripping [20:43] SliMM-> you can if you know how to === Kagee is now known as Kag [20:43] acid-trip: and your point being finch is pidgins cli program === Kag is now known as Kagee [20:43] i think i'm going to be forced to do a reinstall...the forums and irc haven't been able to help...what i would need to know at this point is if the default livecd support lvm, because my /home is mounted on an lvm partition...i think in the past, you had to d/l a special install disk [20:43] gnutron: is there anyway for me to allocate another partition for ubuntu and tell it to use that as well? [20:43] acid-trip: I know you use BSD mostly it's FreeBSD correct :) [20:43] for those of you looking for bitchx.. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2007-November/002726.html [20:43] yes [20:44] :D [20:44] amenado: i know how to create a filesystem on a ramdisk, and mount the ramdisk [20:44] dhamma: a re-install destroys everything on the disk. [20:44] amenado: but in a certain place under /, not as / [20:44] amenado: any suggestions? [20:44] SliMM-> but you know you can not umount the / you have booted from [20:44] tyler: you can create another partition if you have room yes [20:45] robg_: / is on a 'real' partition and /home is on a seperate lvm partition [20:45] SliMM-> find a way to boot from cd or usb disk [20:45] amenado: ok, I'll have to hope F8 will work then, thanks [20:45] gnutron: Lol I know I can create another partition, but I want ubuntu to move it's /tmp directory to another partition [20:45] this may be offtopic or not, what is a public key and how do i get one? if it is off-topic could somebody point me in the right direction please? [20:45] dhamma: I never use GRUB. If I re-install I simply create an empty space and install into it, [20:46] hi i have problem built-in microhone , speeakers are working, i have sound but i cannot record any soound , its SB600 soundcard [20:46] KRaZy_WaKa: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography [20:46] yo i have ONE pidgin frozen window... ( i restarted pidgin) but the chat window stayed and i cant turn it off, how can i kill it ? [20:46] robg_: i've used grub and lilo for years without problems [20:46] help [20:46] dhamma: fine then go ahead and do it. [20:46] gnutron: When I tell k9copy to use another folder for its tmp files I get errors [20:46] lw0x15: xkill and click on the offending window [20:46] tyler: that should be done during installation, as for 'moving' /tmp, that may be tricky. [20:46] what i need to know is whether or not the livecd supports lvm...anyone know? [20:46] KRaZy_WaKa-> you can create one with the openssl tools, man openssl, but for detailed explain, you have to google for a tutorial [20:46] TY Slart [20:46] does anyone know of a good guide for setting up sql through amarok? [20:46] lw0x15: xkill -9 to stop asking nicely and just murder it [20:47] lol ok thanks [20:47] and amenadoi [20:47] thanks Slart :) [20:47] trying to get pidgin IRC set up to run tor [20:47] god i love linux [20:47] lol [20:47] man is this a pain in the @ss [20:47] hi all [20:47] how do i start a program in a different language? [20:47] in the past you had to download a different install cd for lvm support, but i don't know if that's still the case [20:48] LANG="XX_XX" works with oowriter, but nothing else === Wowbagger is now known as e [20:48] dhamma-> i dont think liveCd supports it, perhaps the alternate cd do [20:49] how to execute script with sudo ? [20:50] kibibyte: sudo ./script [20:50] kibibyte: sudo sh scriptname.. or sudo bash scriptname [20:50] bartosz@bartosz-laptop:~$ sudo ./alsa-info.sh [20:50] sudo: ./alsa-info.sh: command not found [20:50] kibibyte: try sudo sh script [20:50] how to start a programm in a different language? [20:51] kibibyte, it probably doesn't have execute permission set, try chmod 755 alsa-info.sh and then try again [20:51] ok [20:51] how do I get the default wifi drivers to load during startup [20:53]  for my custom mount script, how can I test if some device is mounted? needed for unmount command in stop() .. yes, I know, it appears in mount, but testing for mount | grep | /mnt/my_mountpoint is just a bit wacky *g (#!/bin/ash) [20:53] so I have some imagemagick versions that I built from source, and I'd like to delete them (having IM problems, want to just reinstall only from apt) [20:53] can someone tell me, can I just remove the files/folders from /usr/lib without wreaking havoc? [20:53] no [20:53] jadams_: it's impossible [20:53] jadams_: I don't think so [20:54] jadams_: almost every program uses something that's in there [20:54] yedda2: you can check in /etc/mtab [20:54] jadams_: Chances are if you compiled from source, it didn't go to /usr/lib ...

A failed network connection is often a first sign of that. [20:55] hmm..how can i make my bar at the bottom a bit wider ?

[21:37] !w32codecs | Georgij [21:37] Georgij: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [21:37] i want a big fat text that says DOWNLOAD W32CODEC DEB PACK HERE [21:38] lol [21:38] Mus Find the ports by going to a terminal and typing dmesg | grep ttyS [21:38] Georgij: you add the repo then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs [21:38] harpreet: I said pastebin ... not here [21:38] Georgij: perhaps ubuntu isn't for you lol [21:38] Soopa: it depends on if you let pureftp follow symbolic links and the permissions ont the directories (as based on the user loggin in) [21:38] ohhh, okay [21:38] harpreet: can you pastebin the output of: ls -l /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins/libjavaplugin.so please [21:39] my_haz: thanks, i'll look at proftpd docs [21:39] sensae: look up this Ipod and Udev and exec program it should show you what you need to add to do what you want it might not be Ubuntu specific but you can convert it pretty easy to the ubuntu/debian way [21:39] Soopa: proftp or pureftp? [21:40] k31to it has its good points [21:40] windows had too many bad points [21:40] sensae: Go to Places > Home ... Edit > Preferences ... "Media" tab... "Music Player" ... change that [21:40] so i went to ubuntu [21:40] guys, I downloaded the source for ubuntu-modules and edited appleir.c to update the device ID for my iMac remote control. I installed the deb package I built and the remote worked... now after a reboot it's stopped working - re-installing the deb package now does not fix the remote - any ideas??? [21:40] what repo? [21:40] fde: Amarok is conveniently missing from the list [21:40] !who | Georgij [21:40] Georgij: 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 :) [21:41] Georgij: When you try to download a deb package the packagemanager only knows where to find it because it has a list of repositories (collections of packages). If you want to download from a repository that Ubuntu is not allowed to include by default it makes sense that you have to add a new repository manually. It is quite easy once you get the hang of it and it will be very useful to you later on, which is why people here want you to learn it : [21:41] there isnt a repo for hardy [21:41] sensae: "ask what to do" ... then select amarok when it does so [21:41] so i took 7.10 insted [21:41] where do i paste it fde? i dont know [21:41] Georgij: there is. Use medibuntu [21:41] Georgij: yes there is i just did it this morning [21:41] stu: Likely you need to insert the module for it [21:42] Georgij -> administration -> software sources [21:42] genii: the module is loaded [21:42] fde: It still gives me the same options [21:42] I swear to god after i ve done this it wont still work [21:42] jack_sparrow: Did not work... Any other ideas? [21:42] Georgij -> 3rd party sources, add medibuntu repo there [21:42] stu: Is it a USB device? [21:42] harpreet: It should only be one line... so yes [21:42] i did this it worked now i can watch my movie ? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs [21:42] scorch_ nope [21:42] Georgij -> sudo apt-get update [21:42] fde, it says no such file or directory [21:43] Georgij: Georgij i added `deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy free non-free` and then i installed the w32 stuff [21:43] genii: lsmod | grep apple gives me appleir 7040 0 [21:43] Georgij: depends on whether you enabled the repository first... [21:43] Georgij 0> sudo apt-get install w32codecs [21:43] genii: yes its a USB device [21:43] Anyone have a low graphic mode problem after 7.10 to 8.04 upgrade? [21:43] Soopa: Your proftpd may be using chroot which will prevent symbolic links from working. See http://www.castaglia.org/proftpd/doc/contrib/ProFTPD-mini-HOWTO-Chroot.html for details on using "mount -o bind" instead. [21:43] i have w32codec now [21:43] genii: and I have reloaded usbhid as well [21:43] hello can somebody say me a program, for .ccf files [21:43] Can i look my video now? [21:43] stu: Unplug it, wait 10 seconds. Replug it. Then see if dmesg reports anything about it. [21:43] Georgij: how about trying? [21:43] Georgij:you could be watching that movie right now and enjoying your bow of popped corn [21:43] WOHO! [21:44] THANKS [21:44] lol [21:44] how can we tell :P [21:44] alexi5: "bow of popcorn" does that have +5 damage (explode) [21:44] hey ... since the last set of updates this morning, my virtualbox doesnt want to launch windows any more stating: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed.

[21:53] can anyone recommend a simple alarm for ubuntu?

[21:55] thekip_: but then again i don't know why that would give you such an error, is it giving you the source code or just a blank file? === gesker_ is now known as gesker [21:55] how would I go about packaging http://modulargaming.com for ubuntu universe? would I split the external libraries up? e.g. Smarty and ActiveTable [21:56] it gives me the source file [21:56] thekip_: and this is with [21:56] jep [21:56] !format [21:56] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [21:56] what's the command to activate emerald ? [21:56] which worked before installing mod-mono [21:57] * invite is Pelo [21:57] thekip_: never seen that before. how about other random functions? like [21:57] invite , emerald --replace ? [21:57] ">test [21:58] lol date("Y-m-d") works too :+ [21:58] no idea why phpinfo wouldn't work [21:58] thekip_: what does #php have to say? [21:59] hmmm it looks like it has something to do with file permissions [21:59] Ever type mk2fs when you meant tune2fs? Yeah, that sucks. [21:59] allthough they look exactly the same [21:59] is it possible to daisy chain SATA drives? [21:59] m-c: I don't think so [21:59] can anyone recommend a simple alarm for ubuntu? [22:00] my_haz: thx for the tips, just found my error [22:00] the phpinfo() command was opened with thekip_: what was it so we know? [22:00] StevenX: what do you want it to do [22:00] m-c: eSATA might be able to.. not sure though [22:00] I get a white screen when I log into ubuntu, unless I select the failsafe gnome session. I am sure this has nothing to do with emerald (I am using an emerald theme) or compiz as I have tried to remove them and then log in. [22:00] my_haz, play a sound file at a certain time [22:00] thekip_: didn't i mention that up top? my very first suggestion? [22:01] I'm having problems with my sound on fresh installs of Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Etch/Lenny. My old install of Feisty, which I upgraded to Hardy, still has sound working. Any clues? I've debugged just about everything :-s === croppa_ is now known as croppa [22:01] you can use an eSATA port multiplier as a single "chain" increaser [22:01] StevenX: i mean the very very very simplest would be to use `at` or `sleep 3500 ; mplayer good-morning.mp3` [22:01] Slart: thank - no, I just bought a new hard drive and noticed 2/2 sata slots were used [22:01] or also, an infiniband->sata module (and back again to sata) [22:01] The_PHP_Jedi, have you checked alsamixer, i had my sound muted [22:01] but that's passive, I think. [22:01] my board is pretty old, so I doubt it has eSATA [22:01] ah damn, I'm sorry, didn't notice the lack of php at the opening tag.... [22:01] m-c: ouch.. well.. there are SATA controller cards that doesn't cost an arm and a leg [22:01] StevenX: failing that xmms has a plugin xmms-alarm [22:02] thanks for your thoughts then [22:02] lw0x15, yeah, I checked volume levels and unmuted. [22:02] oh, good idea [22:02] I thought you meant to just try a echo [22:02] my_haz, the 3500 is in seconds? [22:02] anyway, there are such things as eSATA hubs/active things that increase the number of meters you can run the sata cable. [22:02] StevenX: yes [22:02] ah i forgot to check if the string is *only* my own name [22:02] my_haz, k, thanks [22:02] i wonder how the other clients do it [22:02] StevenX: you might do `sleep $(( 3600 * 8 )); mplayer good-morning.mp3` [22:03] Hello, I am making a home DVD with about 200 short clips using Devede. I have already added about 60 files one at a time but my hand is starting to hurt. It is also really boring.

[22:03] no [22:03] lol kushal1 [22:03] as I doubt the drive can push that much data [22:03] <_eMaX_> hi all [22:03] hi [22:03] hello [22:03] jedimind :( [22:03] modulargaming: thanks [22:03] <_eMaX_> how can I start programs automatically in gnome after a login? [22:04] kushal1: sorry dont mean to be rude was just a funny request, wish i could help but ive neer used devede [22:04] m-c: you mean if you should get a SATA 1 or SATA 2 controller? === defs|Abd is now known as Abd67 [22:04] guys, I downloaded the source for ubuntu-modules and edited appleir.c to update the device ID for my iMac remote control. I installed the deb package I built and the remote worked... now after a reboot it's stopped working - re-installing the deb package now does not fix the remote - any ideas??? [22:05] no I am not angry at you. it is just that I don't want to be adding all these files by hand [22:05] _eMaX_, System>Preferences>sessions [22:05] _eMaX_: or `$ vi ~/.xinitrc` [22:05] without the $ of course :D [22:05] is it wrong for me to be using ubuntu mouse icons in windows? [22:05] m-c: I just check my local computer shop and the SATA 2 cards aren't that much more expensive.. I'd go with a SATA 2 card [22:06] jedimind: very un-jedi [22:06] jedimind, looking back, I don't know what I was thinking trying to add everything by hand. I cannot even believe I added over 60 of those by hand. I wish I could drag and drop using default settings [22:06] Strange thing happening. If I use a media player to play music (Rythmbox) and then go into firefox and try to listen to audio, nothing comes out without a reboot. Is it just me, or.... [22:06] hey [22:07] !format [22:07] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [22:07] <_eMaX_> my_haz, gnubie: tnx [22:07] rhsanborn, have you attempted to close Rythmbox before opening Firefox and trying to listen to audio? [22:07] rhsanborn: that happens on redhat some times, i have never had it happen on ubuntu [22:07] !diskmounter > alan_m [22:07] rhsanborn, afaik, only one app can use audio output at any given time. === AJC__Z0 is now known as AJC_Z0 [22:08] has apparmor been giving ppl issues? [22:08] m-c: oh.. just thought of something.. it you buy a pci-card you'll probably be limited by the pci-bus.. not the SATA connection [22:08] no way [22:08] you must be able to output audio from more than one app at a time [22:08] anybody getting this problem?: scp: warning: Executing scp1 compatibility.

[22:09] The_PHP_Jedi, I can't remember if I've done it in that order. I just had rythmbox open, and, with it open tried to listen to something on myspace. It still wouldn't work even after closing the music player [22:09] salut [22:09] my_haz, maybe your sound card has better compatibility with ESD or something. [22:09] i am missing 1 GB 99 MB and 99.5 KB [22:09] Anyways, I'm having sound problems myself [22:09] I'm having problems with my sound on fresh installs of Ubuntu Hardy and Debian Etch/Lenny.

[22:10] quick question [22:10] !hi | gbolte [22:10] gbolte: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [22:10] what error message dose the ubuntu sshd throw if you try to log in 3 times with the wrong password? [22:10] slart: ubuntu compatibility being the most important aspect, of course [22:10] !ask | gbolte [22:10] m-c: I've used a promise card before.. but that was a couple of years ago [22:10] gbolte: 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. :-) [22:10] (1 gb 1023 mb and 1023.5 kb really) [22:10] what reposetory do i need to add so that i can install xmms using apt-get? [22:10] hmm...perhaps it's firefox. I had to kill it to bring it down, and when I brought it back up, it can play fine... [22:10] Package xmms is not available, but is referred to by another package. [22:10] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [22:10] is only available from another source [22:10] E: Package xmms has no installation candidate [22:10] steven@steven-laptop:~$ [22:10] StevenX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

Also I ticked "Off" under Restricted Drivers manager but it still says "In Use" just next to where it is NOT ticked Enabled... [22:11] StevenX: xmms is no longer being developed, I suggest trying audacious instead. [22:11] ok The_PHP_Jedi is this a system you built yourself or what ? [22:11] ixion, pre-made HP system. [22:11] Pici, thanks [22:11] what would cause a long delay (black screen) between grub loading of kernel and the splash screen to show up (where the orange ubuntu bar is going across the screen)? [22:11] anyone wanna humor me here and try sshing to a ubuntu machine 3 times? [22:11] long delay, as in > 30 seconds, it only happens when I connect the computer to the tv, there is no delay when I connect the machine to an LCD display, it seems like a display probing/detection problem, can I disable that somehow? [22:11] wtf...

[22:46] I've deleted the known_hosts-File, running a ssh-session adds 2 entries, why that ? [22:46] siriusblack: then it maybe hosed? if you have a winows box see if you can format to fat32 [22:46] omg, im not saying you guys are obligued to help. god i just made a statement and now everybody is arguing with me [22:46] no, i cant i tried, i can only format to fat(16 or 12) [22:46] matisse: known_hosts is re-created whenconnecting and accepting any key [22:47] eduardo, might i suggest windows XP. At least then everything will just work, and you won't have to be talked down to everytime you have a question. [22:47] eduardo You made an inflamatory statement and now complain when you get flamed.. go figure [22:47] gnutron: there was only 1 connection [22:47] siriusblack: then fat 16 check mfg site to see if they have a formating utility [22:47] why 2 keys ? [22:47] hello everybody I am kind of a n00b but my question for somebody is how do I make my gdesklets setup launch automatically at startup? [22:47] laughingman: i dont like windows xp, thanks for the heads up. [22:47] eduardo Did you even look to see if xsane sees the scanner portion of your printer [22:48] mfg site [22:48] ? [22:48] !startup [22:48] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [22:48] Jack_Sparrow: it doesnt, thats why i need to change de driver [22:48] siriusblack: who made it [22:48] Jack_Sparrow: but idk how to do it [22:48] ah === Hallertauer is now known as epi [22:48] theman: try going to System --> pref --> sessions and reate a new entry for gdesklets [22:48] what do i use to scan a ntfs partition for a bad sector and mark it to not be used? === epi is now known as foobrew [22:49] eduardo Did you read the supported hardware page to see if your printer is listed [22:49] any hints? [22:49] Jack_Sparrow: yes, its not listed [22:49] siriusblack: did you try fdisk [22:49] people still complain on how to use some soft e=wares like auto cad on linux [22:49] umm... okay? this page is weird, a page "who we are" stating you know who we are [22:49] yea, but i cant use it... [22:50] well [22:50] eduardo then the additional features are not supported and it is using the driver that will let it work as a printer only [22:50] ok odd-rationale and where would i do that at exactly? [22:50] Jack_Sparrow: but before my last ubuntu reinstallation it worked fine and it recognized as the model it is, idk whats going wrong now [22:50] im probably able to, but i dont know how to [22:50] theman: in the startup tab [22:50] siriusblack: sudo fdisk -l to list your drives [22:50] eduardo Hope you find an answer [22:50] siriusblack: determine the relevant drive [22:51] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, do you know if theres any other way i can use the scanner? [22:51] siriusblack: fdisk /dev/relevantdrive [22:51] eduardo you can use it if you install XP in a virtual box [22:51] itś not in them [22:51] eduardo nope [22:51] and run the scanner through XP, and set up a shared folder. [22:51] siriusblack: huh [22:51] i need an answer pls [22:51] theres only my HD-drives showing up [22:52] siriusblack Does gparted show your usb stick? [22:52] I'm having problems with my sound on fresh installs of Debian Etch/Lenny + Ubuntu Hardy. My old install of Feisty, which I upgraded to Hardy, still has sound working. Any clues? I've debugged just about everything :-s [22:52] Disk /dev/sda: 0 MB, 524288 bytes [22:52] 1 heads, 1 sectors/track, 1024 cylinders, total 1024 sectors [22:52] Units = cylinders of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes [22:52] Disk identifier: 0x00000000 [22:52] thatś the relevant drive with info [22:53] siriusblack: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:53] theman: http://www.howtoforge.com/gnome_gdesklets_p3 see step 5 [22:53] oooohh!! i found a driver :) [22:53] adakole5 See cedega, wine appdb etc [22:53] jack_sparrow: it shows the SD-card at a size of negative 512 bytes [22:54] siriusblack: use the name of the person you are resopnding to Jack_Sparrow [22:54] siriusblack You know it cant be a negative number... will it let you unmount it and format it to anything [22:54] which program can I use to unrar things? [22:54] evening folks, my first time here [22:54] anyone know any good unrar softare? [22:55] !rar [22:55] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [22:55] Jack_Sparrow: no, i can just change the label [22:55] hi trollslayer, and welcome to ubuntu : ) [22:55] can anyone recommend a screen recorder? i can't get any of the popular ones to work [22:55] I can't seem to get ksysguard to connect to a remote machine. When I try the daemon mode it says connection refused. When I try ssh it just doesn't connect. Any Ideas? [22:55] i tried istanbul, mydesktoprecorder, and xvidcap [22:55] siriusblack Odd.. I would try the gparted stand alone livecd [22:56] quick question - more people are askign abotu HDMI audio which I have got working on my system - who do I contact to suggest a sticky on the subject? [22:56] i 2nd gparted live cd [22:56] gnna try fdisk first... [22:56] Jack_Sparrow: he referred to sda as the SD card [22:56] anyone know of a working desktop recorder on gutsy? [22:56] anachronoks-> import does not work for you? [22:56] dil: what do i do after fdisk /dev/sda [22:56] in the forums trollslayer? [22:56] Trollslayer Put your info in the pastebin and give us the link and we will see what we can do [22:56] amenado: never heard of import, i will check itout [22:57] anachronoks-> it just take a snapshot of your windows [22:57] siriusblack: m [22:57] is there a command I can use to view info about my internet connection? [22:57] >iRelingquish< - I was wondering if there was a specific place [22:57] amendo: i am looking for a video recorded though [22:57] every time I boot up my machine I have to rmmod appleir and then modprove it again to get it to work.... how can I fix this ? [22:57] yea... [22:57] dil: then what [22:57] anachronoks-> umm you take multiple snapshots? and sequence them? [22:57] hi i just installed 8.04 but wireless isnt working. it did on 7.10. lsmod shows the driver is running, but iwlist eth1 scan returns no results [22:57] I believe its because the appleir that gets loaded automatically has the wrong device id associated with it [22:57] hi, I recently tried to tweak my 8.04 installation, using the tips at http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-8-04-for-Speed-86405.shtml, however now X won't startup, and I can't seem to rechange the files i modified, even though I use sudo- how can I overcome this? Thanks! [22:58] amenado: lol, i am sure there is a better solution [22:58] HappyHater: /sbin/ifconfig for starters. [22:58] siriusblack: CREATE DPARTITION [22:58] thank you odd-rationale odd-rationale your the man [22:58] thanks, gnutron [22:58] does anyone have resources on emulating a webcam? maybe having a fake device that just plays an avi? [22:58] how does one connect a pulseaudio source to a pulseaudio sink? [22:58] that was exactly what i was looking for [22:58] anyone try dual booting ubuntu and opensolaris? [22:59] DUC1: no, but i guess it could be done if you use ubuntu's grub [22:59] well [22:59] dil: wtf... all primary partitions have been defined already, [22:59] that's my problem [22:59] m [22:59] what? [22:59] i should clarify, does anyone know of a screen recorder that works in gutsy? [22:59] anachronoks-> proly there is..try pyvnc2swf and can you let me know how it works for you? === iSephr is now known as Sephr [22:59] >jinho< - start up in text mode the reinitialise the graphics driver? I had to do this with and ATI card [23:00] amenado: okay, i will try it, thanks! [23:00] every time I boot up my machine I have to rmmod appleir and then modprove it again to get it to work.... how can I fix this ? [23:00] siriusblack: you have to be aboslutly sure that this is your sd card [23:00] siriusblack: d [23:00] jinho: which files [23:00] hello, does anybody know how to lock the screen on suspend and hibernate in xubuntu [23:00] yea [23:00] siriusblack: dto delete partition [23:00] i deleted all 4 [23:00] I had to install opensolaris first, as it needs the first partition. It would appear that ubuntu erased opensolaris from grub [23:00] I'm having troubles with "sudo", apparently it doesn't work as it should... [23:00] ok i got one more question for anybody that cares to answer... how do you fake your ip address with ubuntu? im not talking about the one that your router assigns to you but your real one that is set to you by your isp? [23:00] siriusblack: n [23:00] jinho: specifically? [23:01] DUC1: if you have opensolaris already installed, install ubuntu on another patrition, and it should autodetect the other one, and even if it does not, you can add one line to grub config file [23:01] theman you cant fake an IP address [23:01] >jinho< I think it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:01] theman you can proxy through another IP address, but you cant fake it [23:01] anyone know the package name for mergedfb? [23:01] My drop down menus just died [23:01] siriusblack: n to create new partition? [23:01] oh ok... that sucks lol [23:01] What would cause gnome/naut to do tis? [23:01] DUC1: ubuntu installed its own grub [23:01] i know there is a mac changer [23:02] sil: sure [23:02] i was wondering if you could do the same thing with an ip [23:02] jjlee: I modified /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/menu.lst [23:02] dil: sure * [23:02] theman yes you can spoof a mac address but spoofing IP would just be pointless as the packets would never get back to you [23:02] siriusblack: p [23:02] dil: done [23:02] theman: you cant fake your ip.. not on mac, not on windows, not in ubuntu.. it's not for lack of tools [23:02] is it possible see the modules that one program is using? [23:02] you can use a proxy [23:02] DUC1: and did not autodetect opensolaris. you will need to add a line to grub config file and point that grub to opensolaris path. [23:02] ixion: spoofing mac is illegal... please don't advise it here. [23:02] dil: partition number 1 [23:02] jjlee: coincidentally, you wouldn't happen to be john lee at MRL would you (if that doesn't make sense ignore me) [23:02] jinho: usual questions - what did you do, what happens, and what did you expect to happen? [23:02] >theman< - surely the outside world will see the ISP address because the router does IP address translation [23:02] really? i never thought about it like that... i told you im still a n00b please be patient with me [23:02] First cylinder (2-1024, default 2): [23:02] siriusblack: 1 for one partition [23:02] I got that far, thanks [23:03] jjlee: I followed some of the tips here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-8-04-for-Speed-86405.shtml [23:03] jinho: MRL doesn't ring a bell [23:03] just have no idea where to go for the lines I need; I'm gonna try switching over to the opensolaris server [23:03] >fde< -illegal? No, but pointless I think [23:03] DUC1: example ( hd0, 0) etc [23:03] Slart: yes you can... but also not something for #ubuntu [23:03] What would cause dropdown menus / lists to break for all gnome/naut? [23:03] Trollslayer: No it is illegal. [23:03] anyone know how to backup teh mysql data files without running mysql? [23:03] jinho: don't make me read that, pick a specific problem, explain what you did, what happened, what you expected [23:03] jjlee: specifically the ones to tweak the harddrive [23:03] dil: First cylinder (2-1024, default 2): [23:03] any on knows why i had turn off firefox to listen to music in xmms [23:03] Trollslayer: At least to then connect to the internet with that spoofed MAC [23:04] >fed< under what law? And which country? [23:04] foxhop: maybe gnome-panel crashed. If you have no top menu panel, try typing gnome-panel in a terminal. [23:04] lw0x15: XMMS is not using ESD [23:04] n6rej: try backing up a file where you bd is. [23:04] :| [23:04] siriusblack: select it [23:04] fde, solution / [23:04] jjlee: I modified /etc/fstab so that it went from something like: UUID=19f70288-7340-40c0-82d1-ee4b218fee1d / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1 [23:04] ? [23:04] fde: I don't agree about the ip faking.. but I agree that this isn't the place to discuss it =) [23:04] Jack_Sparrow: sorry to bother you again, can u tell me the argument for make please? [23:04] chev_chelios: thats just it I don't know where mysql stores the db [23:04] siriusblack: 2 [23:04] dil select it? [23:04] jjlee: to: UUID=19f70288-7340-40c0-82d1-ee4b218fee1d / ext3 noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro,data=writeback 0 1 [23:04] Should I install from Hardy-Proposed, or are there any serious problems with it? [23:04] ok [23:04] jinho: so what's the problem right now? [23:04] cuz i cant hear the sound on youtube while having xmms on [23:04] lw0x15: Make it use ESD? It's in the prefs somewhere... XMMS isn't in Ubuntu though [23:04] n6rej: what are you using? [23:05] hardy [23:05] Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (2-1024, default 1024): [23:05] wheni log in.. it tells me something about home and .dmrc and permissions.. anyone know what i am talking about? [23:05] i need to burn a dvd-r through the command line... know any tutorials or walkthroughs for that? [23:05] siriusblack: then the highest 1024 [23:05] >ripps< - I've found a few minor issues but seems pretty good [23:05] chev_chelios: hardy is the distro [23:05] Is it possible to upgrade firefox 3 to the release candidate yet? [23:05] try the forum n6rej [23:05] chev kk [23:05] dil: done [23:05] jjlee: gdm doesn't startup, but everything else is working, with the exception that I can't modify those files now, not even if I use "sudo" [23:05] Quick question: Is Firefox supposed to close when you hit C-x? [23:05] n6rej: i know. and you installed mysql from a repo? [23:05] stroyan: What would cause dropdown menus / lists to break for all gnome/naut? A panel is already running [23:05] chev_chelios: yeah [23:05] jinho: what exactly do you type, what happens then, what did you expect to happen? [23:05] fiz1: there are PPA's for it... you can check planet.ubuntu.com ... someone was discussing how earlier [23:05] jinho: startx does what ? [23:05] andersbr: mine doesn't [23:05] siriusblack: w to eritr it [23:05] Slart: FF3? [23:06] siriusblack: w to write [23:06] Seems the dropdown menus are working they are just showing up behind everything else [23:06] andersbr: yes.. the regular one in hardy [23:06] n6rej: well, I think you should find what you are looking for on the forums. [23:06] jjlee: I'm basically in console mode- I typed "sudo vim /etc/fstab" hoping to be able to change the file back to the way it was, but vim won't let me save [23:06] I get choppy sound while playing Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, like it will play a sound every second, the rest of the game works fine, how might I troubleshoot this? [23:06] fde: any idea when the final will be out? [23:06] chev_chelios: kk [23:06] WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 13: Permission denied. [23:06] The kernel still uses the old table. [23:06] The new table will be used at the next reboot. [23:06] Slart: Mine is woefully crash-happy. [23:06] Syncing disks. [23:06] foxhop: So you have a top panel with labels like "Applications" but clicking on them brings up no menu? [23:06] hey. I have an Intel X3100 and in 8.04 desktop effects "Normal" works, but in 7.10 it does not, any idea? [23:06] jinho: what does vim say when you attempt to save? [23:06] fiz1: When it's ready (although on Linux, it'll be released with a critical bug from what I've heard :/ ) [23:06] n6rej: etc/mysql perhaps? [23:06] >anders< - what hardware? [23:06] andersbr: is ctrl+x supposed to do something? some kind of plugin problem? [23:07] jjlee: before the file opens up it says "Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim71/debian.vim: line 58: E483: Can't get temp file name" [23:07] chev_chelios: thats what I'm hoping.. either there or /var [23:07] andersbr: ctrl x is supposed to cut [23:07] jinho: press the escape key, followed by a colon and the letters wq and an exclamation mark... :wq! [23:07] fde: yeah, im just ready to get all my old extensions working again, such a pain being without them [23:07] jinho: df -h [23:07] well, iĺl reboot [23:07] stroyan: i have a top menu, clicking them brings up a list, but the list goes behind other windows [23:07] Slart: I don't think so. I hit it accidentally. [23:07] so does suspend, etc. work better in heron? is it new code? [23:07] jinho: that will force vim to save the changes [23:07] n6rej: i google-fu mysql and ubuntu file path, and i think it should be /etc/mysql [23:07] foxhop: That's a new one to me. [23:07] fiz1: what extensions? there is a way to force them to work... I forget how though, google [23:07] !alternate [23:07] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [23:08] every time I boot up my machine I have to rmmod appleir and then modprobe it again to get it to work.... how can I fix this ? [23:08] chev_chelios: ok, then i'm safe cause i backed up all of /var and /etc [23:08] fde: most of the usual, foxmarks, themes, just little things [23:08] jjlee: wq! gives me "/etc/fstab E212: Can't open file for writing [23:08] fde: thanks anyway, take it easy:) [23:08] * fde has no idea what a foxmark is [23:08] jinho: type df -h [23:08] n6rej: there you go, but just to be doublesafe, google-fu it [23:08] can i pick and choose what packages to install with the alternate cd? [23:08] chev_chelios: yep.. ok.. off to fix the server [23:08] siriusblack: have you rebooted yet [23:08] jinho: "df -h" into bash prompt, that is, not into vim [23:08] !acpi [23:08] Factoid acpi not found [23:09] fde: foxmarks is a exension that saves your bookmarks on a server so that you can keep them sycronized over several computers [23:09] !suspend [23:09] Factoid suspend not found [23:09] jinho: and you opened it with sudo? if so your file system has been mounted as read only or something [23:09] ixion: wq! doen't work, it adamntly refuses to save, despite me trying to override and despite the fact that I used sudo [23:09] * Slart wants an extension that doesn't send my bookmarks off to some weirdo server [23:09] ceil420: no, you can limit what is installed based on function, then install explicitly, that's about it.... [23:09] siriusblack: you have to format it [23:09] fde, is there no way to install Ubuntu without all it's crap? ;x [23:09] jjlee: do you want me to rewrite everything here? [23:10] ceil420: I think there's a minimal version [23:10] ceil420, server edition [23:10] jinho: huh? did you run df -h yet? [23:10] Slart, minimal version won't boot for me [23:10] n6rej: good luck [23:10] ty [23:10] jjlee: yeah, sorry I got the list [23:10] ceil420: sure... alternate in 'expert' mode... or the server install, again, not installing everything [23:10] jinho: boot from the linux CD... mount the file system there are read write and try again [23:10] jinho: don't paste the output here [23:10] ubuntu JEOS [23:10] jjlee: /dev/sdb1, varrun, varlock, udev, devshm [23:10] ceil420: well, who would have thought that.. the crap was there for a reason ;) [23:10] Just enough operation system, ceil its ubuntu jeos [23:11] jinho: just look at output, consider if you have any free space on the partition on which /tmp is mounted [23:11] or on which / is mounted [23:11] jjlee: I have lots of free space [23:11] good [23:11] Slart: Other than the decision that choice is confusing, there is no reason. [23:11] jinho: type mount --- are any file systems read only ? [23:11] ??output parameter [23:11] fde, but is it just gonna have some vague things like "desktop", "server", "office", "design", etc, or can i choose 'xfce', 'apache and mysql', 'abiword' and 'gimp'? [23:11] ??out params === mochako12 is now known as alt12 [23:11] siriusblack: you have to format it [23:11] wrong channel [23:11] jinho: sudo touch /tmp/foo [23:11] fde: huh? [23:12] * TopoMorto is Going To Sleep :)) [23:12] jjlee: cannot touch [23:12] dil: partition disappeared too, with restart [23:12] jjlee: Read-only file system [23:12] hi, i changed routers today and can't connect to the shared folders in other computers on my network, i have to type out the entire ip address [23:12] is there a way to 'reset' this? [23:12] !server [23:12] jinho: what did you mount readonly? [23:12] Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [23:12] siriusblack: it should be blank [23:12] ceil420: yes.. it'll give you things like "Ubuntu Desktop" "Kubuntu Desktop" "Apache" "MySQL" ... etc, nothing for specific packages... just deslect them all, and use apt after [23:12] is anyone else expierencing internet connection problems or is it just me? [23:13] remount it rw [23:13] dil:p? [23:13] ping? [23:13] woah [23:13] fde, alright, i guess i'll do that :x [23:13] i havent been able to connect to this channel most of the day [23:13] ixion: pong [23:13] siriusblack: use fdisk again [23:13] fde, ought to be a fast install, anyway :p cheers o/ [23:13] jjlee: I booted up the system as normal, except gdm failed to come up, and then I logged in, except now everything is read-only [23:13] Slart: Where did I lose you? Other than base, there is no need for anything in Ubuntu... it is there to give a complete system that doesn't confuse n00bs with choice. [23:13] ya [23:13] jjlee: how would I remount as rw? [23:13] bascule: thanks, im lagging bad [23:13] ah so it was mounted read only [23:14] siriusblack: use fdisk to format it [23:14] jinho: mount -o remount,rw /where/ever [23:14] unount it first [23:14] jinho: ah, perhaps there was an fsck failure [23:14] oh remount [23:14] nm [23:14] look in dmesg [23:14] dmesg | less [23:14] how [23:14] Slart: I was responding to your statement to ceil420 [23:14] fde: ah.. yes.. I understand now.. it's getting late.. I blame it on lack of coffee [23:14] fdisk -f /dev/sda? [23:14] hi, i changed routers today and can't connect to the shared folders in other computers on my network, i have to type out the entire ip address. seems like its looking for the other computers based on the old ip addresses, can some one help me? [23:14] type "/" (without quotes) in less to search.

[23:17] Hi guys.. I'm trying to install the ported version of Alien Vs. Predator, but when I type "make" it says error all over ther place [23:17] fde, caffeine is pretty ineffective on me, too ;x i've tried. 52oz of tea and a coupla 12oz cups o' coffee and i'll still be as tired as if i'd had nothing [23:17] hi i just installed 8.04 but wireless isnt working. it did on 7.10. lsmod shows the driver is running, but iwlist eth1 scan returns no results [23:17] chev_chelios: n/a ... although mirrors have to sync with the main server [23:17] hex code? [23:17] hey -- I'm trying to track down a crash on my machine (occasionally, everything will go away and come back, and dmesg reports that dbus-daemon crashed). I found bug #218343, which says it's a duplicate of bug #194720; but I 'don't have permission' to view bug 194720. why not? [23:17] joshua_: Bug 218343 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/218343 is private [23:17] joshua_: Bug 194720 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/194720 is private [23:17] joshua_: Bug 194720 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/194720 is private [23:17] siriusblack: 6 is fat16 [23:17] fde: so, main repo gets updated first??? [23:17] any known good epson printer to use [23:17] up 2 date [23:17] I have been unable to get Compiz to work on my machine - is there any reason to that? I bought it within the last year... [23:18] could anyone please tell me how to install AvP? very badly docimented [23:18] kdc1956: check linuxprinting.org .. it has a big list of supported printers [23:18] chev_chelios: yes... ie, archive.ubuntu.com gets things before mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu [23:18] anyone know if you can tile all windows vertically/horizontally? [23:18] documented === alt12 is now known as alternate12 [23:18] gronne, Alien vs Predator? [23:18] ghindo: gnome or kde? what graphic card?

[23:18] thanks [23:18] chev_chelios: us.archive.ubuntu.com is actually a pointer to another mirror, in this case mirrors.osuosl.org I think [23:18] fde: thanks. [23:18] ceil420: yes [23:18] julien_c, epson was good back in the day, weren't they? [23:18] i installed the fglrx drivers and tsome fonts avery large especially the ones on the login screen and also in the firefox browser. how do allow my system to display the fonts correctly [23:18] the one from 2000 [23:18] anyone know if you can tile all windows vertically/horizontally? [23:19] chev_chelios: It's GNOME, and it's some Intel integrated graphics, I think [23:19] jjlee: http://pastebin.com/d4063d352 [23:19] ceil420: maybe I'm too young, probably before I was born ;) [23:19] mikeyfbi: apparently compiz can't, no [23:19] lol [23:19] jjlee: the UID isn't the real one, but I doubt that matters [23:19] ghindo: what graphics card? [23:19] if it is x3100, my friend had same problems, and we didn't work it out... [23:19] fde, odd hey? where would i go to recommend that feature? [23:20] kde, somewhere on ubuntuforums i suppose? [23:20] fde, somewhere on ubuntuforums i suppose? [23:20] hmm [23:20] ceil420: would you have any idea? [23:20] jjlee: It's some intel Integrated graphics, not sure of the specific model [23:20] ghindo: intel x3100 from i965 chipset was our troublemaker... [23:20] it's an awesome game! [23:20] dil: still 492 kb... [23:20] mikeyfbi: No, probably compiz bugzilla [23:20] ghindo: what computer, what chipset? [23:20] gronne, does it run natively in Linux, or are you trying to run it in Wine? [23:20] jjlee: http://pastebin.com/d4063d352 [23:20] ghindo: don't know about that card, sorry [23:20] siriusblack: try fat32 [23:21] chev_chelios: It's a Dell Inspiron 1420, and I'm not exactly sure of the chipset [23:21] I can't add a new 'location' browser to the main menu . . .:( [23:21] mikeyfbi: There are MANY other window managers, many offering what you want though... 'aptitude search x-window-manager' to see a list. [23:21] ceil420: according to the bad document from it wine may be used to install some parts of it, but it should be able to run in linux from his port [23:21] ghindo: wat one second.. [23:21] siriusblack: b is fat 32 [23:21] mikeyfbi: should be able to replace compiz with any via --replace [23:21] gronne, you got a link to the document? [23:22] ceil420: sure, I'll find the link [23:22] got a second warning [23:22] if there's an error in the description for a program in add/remove programs, is there somewhere i can report it so it can be changed? [23:22] siriusblack: was it ever 2gb or is just the label that says it [23:22] but that's the only difference... [23:22] yea [23:22] mikeyfbi: compiz is still relatively young, and has only been adding functions not related to effects over the last 6months to 1year... since it was mentioned as default for gnome. [23:22] ghindo: what cpu? [23:22] it was 2 GB for about a week, then it crashed, and now its 512 kb [23:22] hi i just installed 8.04 but wireless isnt working. it did on 7.10. lsmod shows the driver is running, but iwlist eth1 scan returns no results [23:22] fde, oh no, i'd have to get rid of compiz!! haha [23:22] ghindo: there are three models [23:23] (i had nearly 30 songs and over 70 games on it.) [23:23] zeno_: Same problem here. [23:23] ceil420: this is the guy that's made it, http://icculus.org/avp/ I'll try and find more stuff [23:23] chev_chelios: Core 2 Duo T7100 [23:23] icculus is a cool guy [23:23] try fsck /dev/sd? you may have a corrupted sd card that is it for me [23:23] mikeyfbi: for now, or just live without, using things like the scale plugin for the time being. [23:23] he did what he could for UT3; too bad Epic screwed it up ;x [23:23] ghindo: it is the infamous x3100, sorry, cannot help you. all three have the same intel x3100 gpu. [23:23] chev_chelios: Drat. Thanks, anyway [23:23] ghindo: wait! are the restricted drivers enabled? [23:24] andersbr: using 2200BG intel? [23:24] jinho: *if* you wanted to remount (but don't, yet), I think you want something like sudo mount -o remount -t ext /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f7d0a65f-55fe-42c5-bc5a-2fd8815802e9 / [23:24] fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) [23:24] dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN [23:24] /dev/sda: 5 files, 5/123 clusters [23:24] fde, yes i have explored thoroughly compiz in ccsm :) i love it! thank you for your time! [23:24] ceil420: the only "guide" I found was a swedish one(I'm swedish too), but it hasn't helped me much... maybe you can see something in it anyway http://bbs.linux.se/viewtopic.php?t=17379 [23:24] zeno_: lemme check. [23:24] jinho: but I wonder if it's mounted readonly because of errors [23:24] chev_chelios: It doesn't look like there are any restricted driver to BE enabled [23:25] jinho: I suspect that's the reason -- look more carefully in dmesg first [23:25] <_nike_> hello [23:25] <_nike_> anyone can help me ? [23:25] !hi | _nike [23:25] _nike: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:25] no [23:25] jinho: presumably the errors were caused by the modifications you made to the mount options for that device [23:25] !ask | _nike_ [23:25] _nike_: 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. :-) [23:25] jjlee: well at the beginning it said "X cannot start because of internal errors" [23:25] rude: please stop [23:25] sorry :-) [23:25] jinho: don't worry about X [23:25] scnr [23:25] <_nike_> the window in windows xp is perfect ... in ubuntu is very left ... how I can config this? [23:25] jinho: that'll just be a side effect of root filesystem being mounted read-only [23:25] Question: What's a good server side Ad Blocker for Linux? I want to have something like a transparent proxy that does ONLY ad blocking.. [23:26] jjlee: k one sec [23:26] zeno_: hmm. Don't remember how to check. [23:26] _nike_: is there an autoconfigure on your monitor? [23:26] _nike_: what do you mean by very left? [23:26] jinho: you're looking for stuff about that filesystem / mount point [23:26] lsmod | grep ipw [23:26] gronne, i don't understand swedish, but it looks like you just download ryan's code with cvs (or svn, as available on his site), and type "make", then run SETUP.EXE with Wine. after it's installed, it looks like you run the 'Avp' shell script (with ./Avp) [23:26] * Chiselhuk_Plus1 waves hello sheepishly....feeling like a prat! [23:26] ghindo: sorry:) [23:26] jjlee: gotcha [23:26] if there's an error in the description for a program in add/remove programs, is there somewhere i can report it so it can be changed? [23:27] zeno_: Nope. [23:27] AcornAcorn: depends on the program [23:27] hello world [23:27] chev_chelios: Thanks anyway [23:27] AcornAcorn: launchpad ... file a bug [23:27] hey [23:27] !hi | moose_ [23:27] moose_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:27] ceil420: Yeah, that was my plan, but when I run "make" it just gives me a huge amount of errors [23:27] BCM43, aren't package descriptions distro-specific? [23:27] the world of UBUNTU NERDS [23:27] fde: thanks :) [23:27] i set up wpa2 wlan encryption via wpa_supplicant, it all seems to work fine, i can see myself beeing connected to my router via iwconfig, i can start wpa_supplicant manually. when ic then start the dhclient, it wont get an ip from my router though dhcp is activated in it. any ideas?

[23:28] Chiselhuk_Plus1 , try run youtube video, FF should ask u for flash install [23:28] BCM43, they might, i'm not sure [23:28] fde: hi, thanks again [23:28] anyone get brother multi function printers working in ubuntu?

Ubuntu is based on Debian Sid [23:31] Chiselhuk_Plus1: for installing flash player, it's actually best to use any website -but- youtube that has flash content.

I was told to look for .DEB files 'n there aren't any!! :( [23:33] SuN13: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers tell you about it?

[23:35] ceil420: http://pastebin.org/39005 [23:35] I've gotten myself in quite a pickle in Ubuntu, since I upgraded my kernel yesterday to the -17 version. [23:35] <_nike_> aff [23:35] <_nike_> =( [23:35] Chiselhuk_Plus1: Why not just install it with Synaptic? "flashplugin-nonfree" is in the repos. [23:35] Ubuntu no longer see's my Nvidia card, and says it's not able to detect it. I also can no longer run anything that requires administration rights from the admin menu. === jah is now known as nutshell [23:35] Chuggst3r: reboot using -16 instead (hit ESC when it counts down) [23:35] I can run them via sudo in the terminal. [23:35] fde: I did, same issue. === nutshell is now known as jah_ [23:36] I'm not entirely sure why...but same issue. [23:36] Chuggst3r: it probably isnt related to the kernel upgrade then [23:36] I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop. My sound only works in pulseaudio (or autodetect which in turn redirects to pulse) modes and need to know if my drivers (from windows) would need to be installed via WINE or is it because my Onboard sound is an unsupprted type? It's a Realtek HD system based on the Nvidia GeForce6100PM-M chipset [23:36] to get root do i just type sudo in the term with the program after it? === jah_ is now known as tyberion [23:36] gronne, sorry, i don't know what to tell you :( [23:36] jinho: ok, try remounting with that command I suggested [23:36] Vedalken: wine cannot install drivers [23:36] how can i play a flv file in ubuntu [23:36] Seeker': It's what i thought as well, but now this might have been a severely stupid move...but I went through the sypatic package manager and removed the new kernel upgrades. [23:37] * fde wonders why he never has any fun issues to fix on his machine :'( [23:37] Chuggst3r: did it remove anything else? [23:37] Seeker [23:37] jinho: if that doesn't work, try "-o remount,data=writeback" instead of "-o remount" in the mount command [23:37] It removed a few other packages related to that same kernel. [23:37] catandfear, for one-off commands, yes. you can also log in as root in the terminal using "su -" and using root's password, but be careful with that (and remember to "exit" when you're done) [23:37] jjlee: kk [23:37] I've installed the new linux modules that came with the update for gutsy, my gfx driver has gone wild, cant get a proper resolution, is there anyway to fix this ? [23:37] SitUbuntuSit: Many ways, but you could use "KMPlayer" for example. [23:37] ceil420: ok, I'd love to post the errors that I get when I type make, but for some reason it's too many errors that "terminal" can't display every line!! [23:37] hi [23:38] thank you Steve-cal [23:38] jinho: if you suddenly drop offline, we'll know what happened ;-) [23:38] rsk: okay. so how would i install the drivers for it? [23:38] what does eth1: link is not ready mean [23:38] is there a way to make terminal see more lines? [23:38] how do I get root access in clam so I can update it? === Rayneman is now known as Rayvis [23:38] Chuggst3r: I dont think it would have caused the problem ,but i'm not an expert [23:38] How do I open the device manager in Ubuntu where I can see connected devices? [23:38] Seeker': When I run the Update Manager via the terminal, it gives a "current dist not found in meta-release file" [23:38] Steve-cal: Thanks, I tried synaptic but it didn't pick up anything I typed! Will look for "flashplugin-nonfree" Thanks *mwah* [23:39] Seeker': I can't imagine it being a hardware issue, I mean I'm running the card right now. It works, but Linux doesn't detect it. [23:39] Chiselhuk_Plus1: You have to make sure all of your repositories are enabled in the "Software Sources"... [23:39] Steve-cal: You say that like u think I know wot i'm doing!! lol [23:40] Seeker': It also went from working properly, to rebooting when it asked me to and having it stop functioning. I can't imagine that happening... [23:40] Chuggst3r: I'm not sure what to suggest [23:40] Steve-cal: How do I do that, plse? :) [23:40] does anyone know how to update clam av? [23:41] i need to get root access to it but i don't know how. I have never really used terminal [23:41] Chiselhuk_Plus1: OK, if you are all ready in Synaptic, just go to the menu "Settings" and choose "Repositories" [23:41] catandfear: aptitude install clamav will update if newer version is available. [23:41] catandfear: do you want to update the scanning engine or the definitions? [23:42] catandfear: the clamd will update if new virus definitions are found automatically. [23:42] I have two restricted drivers. How can I remove one (that is not enabled and not in use) without removing the other? I wanna keep Nvidia but get rid of VMWare kernel driver. This thread seems to suggest it is impossible but surely there must be a way??? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=489512 [23:42] I just installed freecol (the colonization clone) and when I try to start it nothing happens. I'm using Hardy 64. Any ideas? [23:42] both === bah_ is now known as bah [23:42] Does anyone here know how to Install realtek HD onboard sound drivers into Ubuntu 8.04? [23:42] catandfear: to run a command as root in terminal just add "sudo" in front [23:42] I tried running freecol from terminal now and got "exec: 26: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java: not found [23:43] catandfear: yeah... I missed sudo as powertool08 points out [23:43] what application allows me to get packets from xdccing.com [23:43] Seeker': Sorry, went to test reconfiguring the card. Still nothing...any ideas at all? [23:43] krim: Do you have java 6 installed? [23:43] Chuggst3r: none, sorry [23:43] catandfear: It's really not to protect you though, viruses don't effect Ubuntu... it is to protect people you e-mail etc, and they should have scanners themselves. [23:44] :( Anyone else have any suggestions? [23:44] fde: Happen to have any suggestions? [23:44] Steve-cal: I'm there now..... [23:44] hanth1: hanth1 Shouldn't aptitude install everything the package needs to run? It installed these two packages with freecol: libhiglayout-java libwoodstox-java [23:44] after i do dhclient eth1 dmesg gives eth1: link is not ready. how do i fix [23:44] Ganandorf: What do you mean "get packets"? [23:44] Steve-cal: everything under "ubuntu software" is ticked, do I need to go under the other headings 'n tick stuff too? :) [23:44] well the stuff that you get from mirc [23:45] Chuggst3r: None if linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-generic is installed. [23:45] i think thats what they call it [23:45] I understand that but still, tin foil hats are in fashion these days. I understand the sudo as superuser and have been trying to understand the terminal but how would I go about finding the commands I need [23:45] http://xdccing.com/ [23:45] Chuggst3r: You said booting 2.6.24-16-generic doesn't fix the issue, so idk [23:45] normally i use mirc on windows [23:45] Chiselhuk_Plus1: You should be OK I think, close it, go back to Synaptic, and hit the "Reload" button... [23:45] catandfear: look on the clamav website / forums [23:45] but i not sure what to use on linux [23:45] catandfear: google has all the answers [23:45] pigden does not work for me [23:46] Krim: Yes ideally it should take care of dependencies like that. But not always, like if the person who packaged freecol forgot something. Can you try the command which java in a prompt? [23:46] Ganandorf xchat [23:46] Ganandorf: install 'xchat' [23:46] Could someone in "here" help me? [23:46] !ask | Irreducibilis [23:46] Irreducibilis: 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. :-) [23:46] ok cool [23:46] Ganandorf: if you like console-based apps, 'irssi' is nice [23:46] Who could help with sound problem with Wolf ET, and where I can get irssi ? [23:46] thanks guys [23:46] furythor: sudo aptitude install irssi [23:46] irssi ftw! [23:47] i think i figured out my problem, Radio Frequency Kill Switch is on, how does one turn it off i have no idea what it is [23:47] Ganandorf Many others like konversation etc... [23:47] grab screen too [23:47] hanth1: /usr/bin/java was the result. I also found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=779645 but don't know how to create symbolic link (or if it would solve my problem) and when I looked for sun-java in aptitude I found several choices, don't know which to choose. [23:47] Right, well I want to run a local SMTP server, but my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP on port 25, so how would I use putty to forward port 25 to say... 15000 or something, so when I attempt to send via the local server it comes out 15000, not 25 [23:47] so konversation is kde and xchat is xde i presume [23:48] Irreducibilis: Most ISP's will block that unless you have a registered domain. [23:48] Steve-cal: Blonde moment, I'm looking at synaptic on this pc which is FINE not the laptop!!! :( [23:48] Ganandorf: Xchat is GTK [23:48] Ganandorf: Gnome is GTK [23:48] is there some shortcut to remove all the old kernel related packages? e.g. 8.04 is on 2.6.24-17, and i want to remove all the -16 related pacakges. how do i do that? [23:49] Ganandorf: Xchat is not related to Gnome though. [23:49] krim: From this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=255573 you can see syntax for creating a symbolic link [23:49] Yes, I realize that, but if I were to send it through a secure shell, forwarding it through putty, then it is no problem, right? [23:49] Because it would appear to originate from port 15000 or whatever, not 25 [23:49] ok [23:49] Alrighty, so rolling back to the -16 distro fixed my Administration icons...but still no video card...can't imagine why the video card is doing this... [23:49] hanth1: Thanks! [23:49] and what about konversation [23:49] does someone know somekind of fast manual for basic users for ubuntu [23:49] ?? [23:49] I have a Realtek HD onboard sound card. Is there any way to install the drivers for it (which are windows drivers) into ubuntu? [23:49] Ganandorf: although, konversation is not part of KDE either... it is just a package that depends kdelibs [23:49] who has a solution to this: how can i have a video on youtube playing with a sound together with xmms with a sound cuz now.. its either xmms or video [23:49] cant have both [23:50] Ganandorf you can run either one in gnome or kde [23:50] i see cool [23:50] I have accidentally installed Ubuntu 8.04 on my XP 40GB HDD... the installation used the whole drive,and reformatted it, although most of it is unused... can TRK rescue any of the XP data?? do you know of any free software that can?? [23:50] !no [23:50] Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [23:50] Frank_c: once it re-partitions the drive unfortunately not. [23:51] frank_c: you have a very slim chance of recovering data [23:51] Ganandorf: kdelibs is a library adding additional functions on top of qt which many developers like to use with that toolkit. [23:51] Who is snakking norsk? [23:51] lw0x15: try changing the output plugin in xmms from OSS to ALSA [23:51] ...... [23:51] thought so... thanks [23:51] After how many lines is it safe to bump my question [23:51] fde: i was able to fix the problem, i dont know how but after the update yesterday something got corrupted... i install the correct restricted driver version...the previous version was installed....and fix the x server during recovery and it works now [23:51] Irreducibilis: wait about 5 min [23:51] Irreducibilis: You can just configure sendmail or whatever to use a different port :/ [23:51] hanth1: ln -s /usr/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java or the other way around? [23:52] powertool08, where can i change it :| cant find anything to chaneg [23:52] change [23:52] hendrix: Aint you dead? [23:52] SuN13: You fixed it by installing the linux-restricted-modules package for the new kernel ;) [23:52] fde: Well, I am trying to use Mercury mail server to route my own mail without the help of a third party [23:52] SuN13: Glad it's fixed though [23:52] hello everybody [23:52] But I am finding it difficult when my ISP blocks outgoing port 25 [23:52] !hi | marcosani [23:52] marcosani: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:52] thanks [23:53] krim: I think you got it the right way around. ln -s something-real something-symbolic [23:53] fde: yeah...i dont know how it got uninstalled..thanks anyways [23:53] as u could imagine i need help [23:53] Now, I am quite certain it would work fine if I could forward it to something else, I just need to know how to use putty to forward it [23:53] Irreducibilis: never heard of it... try postfix or sendmail or something. Sendmail is used by something like 80% of the web [23:53] Is there a mediacenter solution for ubuntu? [23:53] marcosani: ask a question [23:53] lw0x15: open up xmms, right click, go to options -> preferences [23:53] Penol: mythbuntu [23:53] hey guys how many of you here upgraded to UBUNTU HARDY? [23:53] fde: Is sendmail a full featured SMTP server? [23:53] Irreducibilis: yes [23:53] tanks bcm [23:53] I will take a look [23:53] can i contact u private? [23:53] moose_: almost all i think [23:54] is easier for me [23:54] hello can anyone help me with my monitor resolution ? i have a 1280x800 monitor that uses 60 hz i created a modeline with gtf and the resolution is ok now bu all the ketters are weard [23:54] haha [23:54] marcosani: no need to. just ask the whole channel [23:54] lw0x15: 1st tab is audio plugins, try several of them and see if it fixes it [23:54] hello can anyone help me with my monitor resolution ? i have a 1280x800 monitor that uses 60 hz i created a modeline with gtf and the resolution is ok now bu all the letters are weard [23:54] Irreducibilis: Sendmail is THE SMTP server... it is what all implementations are either based on or reimplement. [23:54] hendrix: if you google around there are a ton of websites out their for those new to Linux and Ubuntu [23:54] Irreducibilis: Postfix is easier to configure though. [23:54] hanth1: I tried both :) the 'right one' gave me "no such file" the wrong one gave me "file exists" and freecol still won't start [23:54] jjlee: sorry I was afk, can you tell me the remount command again- what you wrote is beyond my irc client's buffer- appreciate it [23:54] Hello, I'm trying to get my "MSI Digivox A/D, DVB-T" to work on ubuntu-linux, it doesn't find it.. any ideas? [23:54] BCM43: how is the new UBUNTU? [23:54] Irreducibilis: Your ISP probably uses Sendmail... [23:54] moose_: great if your wireless works [23:55] bcm43, still there? [23:55] jinho: sudo mount -o remount -t ext /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f7d0a65f-55fe-42c5-bc5a-2fd8815802e9 / [23:55] Oh good [23:55] I have problems getting my gfx card running 3d graphics... Using the Hardy Dist :) ... Anyone with advice? I'm sort of a newb ;) [23:55] Steve-cal, When I access repositories on the laptop it brings up a window saying "CD Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" [23:55] jjlee: thanks [23:55] Anyone have an idea on how to install Third-party drivers for a Realtek HD onboard sound device in ubuntu. I have the windows drivers but that's it and i can't find any place that would have the drivers for it. [23:55] Mercury is an utter hastle to config [23:55] Irreducibilis: For receiving, you'll need something like dovecot (IMAP and POP) [23:55] jinho: or perhaps sudo mount -o remount,data=writeback -t ext /dev/disk/by-uuid/3f7d0a65f-55fe-42c5-bc5a-2fd8815802e9 / [23:55] hi, anybody can help me with a wireless problem? [23:55] hey people, My PC freezes once in a while when I use the File Browser. Using Hardy. Any thoughts about how to fix this? [23:55] !ask | marcosani [23:55] marcosani: 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. :-) [23:56] Steve-cal, I used an old original Ubuntu disc the ex left! [23:56] fde: New interesting little thing, I've used EnvyNG to install the nvidia drivers, and it detects my video card as the proper 7900 GT. [23:56] BCM43: i havent installed the new ubuntu cuz i want to wait untill august but my friends insist on installing it too haha [23:56] Chiselh_uk in a terminal type lsb_release -a [23:56] is there a hotkey command like ctrl+alt-delete in ubuntu? [23:56] actually im waiting for the August release [23:56] jjlee: "by-uuid/ is a parameter for the mount program? [23:56] krim: Hang on I am gonna test it here (tired can't remember syntax) [23:56] maybe to see if there is anything new [23:56] haha [23:56] Hi all! [23:56] Chuggst3r: How is that an issue? [23:56] i tried to fix a alsa-bug, like listed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/192382 but after this i have no sound anymore. can anybody tell me how to get the standart kernel with standart vonfiguration? [23:56] Launchpad bug 192382 in alsa-driver "alsamixer broken in hardy - intel hda" [Undecided,Confirmed] [23:56] Chiselh_uk: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [23:56] fde: and does this software, either sendmail or postfix allow me to change the port it uses? [23:56] jinho: no, just a way of naming device files [23:57] ok bcm... i installed ubutnu 8.02 and everuthing works fine, including my wirelss card (broadcom 4312) but when i leave my laptop alone, after a while my connection just disappear... [23:57] Irreducibilis: Both do, yes [23:57] fde: Not so much an issue, but more of a pointer that it's something with Linux. I would think if it was a hardware issue it wouldn't detect the video card at all. [23:57] moose_ there is no august release [23:57] Steve-cal, It's 5.10 on the laptop, that's Breezy Badger, I'm using Gutsy on my pc! [23:57] r u sure [23:57] jjlee: my UUID starts with: f7d0a65d-xx-xx-xx-xx-xxx, do I need a 3 before f7d0a65d, or was that a typo? [23:57] fde: Running the -16 kernel did fix my Administration problem, just having the video card issue now. [23:57] Steve-cal, Can I not just upgrade it online? :) [23:57] jjlee: just want to be sure =) [23:57] !release [23:57] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [23:57] hanth1: Maybe I need to install sun-java instead of making symbolic links. [23:57] Chuggst3r: Umm, it's probably detecting it via the kernel... [23:58] Chuggst3r: Envy just packages never nvidia drivers. [23:58] X Window has been crashing on me. how do i know which graphics card driver to download from the nVidia Website? [23:58] how long is the LTS support? [23:58] newer* [23:58] Chiselh_uk: You mean upgrade from 5.10? Yes, but you have alot of upgrades to go through. [23:58] fde: True enough, so if the kernel is seeing it properly what the heck could be causing this... [23:58] 3 years, moose_ [23:58] fde: Oh, and the program need to run on windows too [23:58] moose_: 3 years desktop 5 years server [23:58] got the question bcm? [23:58] Do they run on it [23:58] Irreducibilis: What program does? [23:58] sendmail or postfix [23:58] I wonder if someone would mind helping me, I installed FNFX for my Toshiba FN keys, and now I have some error. I just wish to remove it, and forget my FN keys. How do I remove it? [23:58] fde: I mean if it didn't function as a video card, I don't think it should be having this problem. Regardless, I'm gonna try another reboot and see if it works. [23:58] Chiselh_uk No you cant.. it has reached eol and it would be a long hard day to upgrade it as you would need all of the releases in between [23:58] Steve-cal, So where do I start, no d/load limit...in fact thanks to AOL cocking up I have free b/band!! LOL [23:58] Chuggst3r: Not the correct modules for the kernel. [23:58] no one an idea? [23:59] Anyone know anything about where I can get myself unshield? I'm pretty much a linux idiot, and I've seen a lot of files, and I can't seem to find a unshield package. [23:59] jjlee: the remount worked it seems [23:59] ok kool [23:59] linuxmademecrazy, unshield? [23:59] Irreducibilis: Nothing worth having runs on Windows exclusively. [23:59] !info unshield [23:59] unshield (source: unshield): extracts CAB files from InstallShield installers. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5-3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 8 kB, installed size 60 kB [23:59] Jack_Sparrow, So where do I d/load Gutsy? [23:59] linuxmademecrazy what is unshield [23:59] fde: But does it run on windows at all? [23:59] linuxmademecrazy, drop the linux in the second line [23:59] krim: You could try that. But which java seems to show that you have java installed already... I suspect it IS sun java 6. (java -version will tell you) [23:59] !download [23:59] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low!
