If this is the answers I get when I want help, I might as well just stay where I am. Good day to you. [00:04] marcosani, what's your problem? [00:04] Chiselh_uk: You know you have so many upgrades to go through if it is only 5.10, unless you have alot of software/customization that you've done, maybe you should just fresh install 8.04.

LOL [00:10] usser: Jack_Sparrow: my litany here -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=809535 [00:10] Chiselh_uk: I agree with Jack_Sparrow completely--if you have gutsy, stick with it for now, but on your 5.10 breezy laptop, you really should upgrade it. You can try Hardy or stick with Gutsy--your decision. [00:10] ok, usser [00:10] marcosani: i have no idea what would do that [00:10] Chiselh_uk You can always dual boot gutsy and hardy [00:10] Would anyone know how I would remove FNFX from my system? I was trying to get my FN keys to work, and now I got some unknown error showing. I just want it gone. I am a full noob at this [00:10] Jack_Sparrow, Now there's no reason why I can't use Hardy on my laptop, which doesn't contain precious data! [00:11] babolat I dont have the time needed to walk you through that.. someone will be able to help [00:11] Phenix: you should be able to do "sudo apt-get remove fnfx" to remove it [00:11] usser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15179/ [00:11] Just to let u know, I have a broadcom card 4312 with proprietary drivers... [00:11] Jack_Sparrow: That's exactly what I did--I had enough HD space that I put Hardy on another partition and made sure it wasn't going to completely break my system first. [00:11] does it change anything? [00:11] Chiselh_uk get the live just to make sure it works with your hardware.. [00:11] Thank you, I will try [00:11] hi all, I use drpython (an example), and when I open a file, i have to minimize the app to see the file in the editor. should it be compiz? [00:12] Sorry, but why fonts in my gnome-terminal so ugly ? :( [00:12] marcosani: did you install anything to get them to work?

Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [00:12] Chiselh_uk: How old is the laptop? Does it have at least 256 MB of RAM? Make sure it can handle Hardy if you want to install it... [00:12] marcosani: might work, might not, worth a try "sudo apt-get remove --purge b43-fwcutter; sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter " [00:12] when i first installed ubuntu they come out themselves as restricted drivers, i just said yes# [00:12] timofeji: you can change it, right click in the window, edit current profile, then change the font in the first tab [00:13] ok im confused. what is the name of the application in the top taskbar that allows you to select a network to connect to from available networks [00:13] Steve-cal, I'm gonna go for Gutsy 'n d/load the live CD of Hardy 'n see how it performs! [00:13] is that a gnome thing or a ubuntu thing [00:13] ok, i got the point guys...sporry [00:13] It's an old Compaq E500 [00:13] im in the livecd, how do i mount my sda1 to get access to my files? [00:13] because the only network thing i have in gnome in gentoo is a "you are connected to this network" not a "you can connect to these" application [00:13] i.e. its informational only [00:13] revilodraw Which live cd? [00:13] which is dumb [00:14] Chiselh_uk: Sounds like a good plan... Do you need wireless on it? Because that's one of the biggest bugaboos of ubuntu. [00:14] Jack_Sparrow: edgy [00:14] I440r What distro are you running [00:14] Does anyone know of a good/cheap SATA card? I'm looking for a card that is either PCI or PCI-e, has atleast 2, maybe 4, internal ports. Right now I'm looking at "MASSCOOL PCI-e 4 port SATA2 (SIL3132 Chip) Model XWT-PCIE10" from Newegg. [00:14] Steve-cal, I believe the Belkin dongle is supported, am I right? [00:14] revilodraw sudo fdisk -l Last letter is L [00:14] Steve-cal, Don't NEED wireless as such, but would like it! [00:14] right now im in gentoo using gnome. i was asking if the network thing in unbuntu is specific to ubuntu [00:15] Hello, I am on Ubuntu 8.04 on Wubi on a Toshiba Satellite M55-S135. I am making the iso of 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. Is there a way for me to add a bunch of mpg files on to the devede list like a batch or drag and drop? please let me know. thanks (please... [00:15] ...answer) shift click and control click do not work . Can I work out of this problem using scripting? How? [00:15] babolat, right so it is, nvidia... make sure u have the latest nvidia binary driver sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [00:15] ubuntu has "network control". gentoo has "network informational" [00:15] Jack_Sparrow: ok.. i thought it was mnt /dev/sda1 or somethng? [00:15] julien_c, thnx, but my config of hinting in system don't work with terminal === \0 is now known as UdontKnow [00:15] babolat, make sure it is selected in xorg.conf cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nvidia should give an output [00:15] im not asking for gentoo help in here lol [00:15] Steve-cal, I'm at the Ubuntu site 'n cannot see where I choose to d/load Guts or Hardy! *sigh* [00:15] Chiselh_uk: Belkin USB you mean? You would have to check to see whether its chipset to see how well its chipset is supported. [00:16] revilodraw sudo mkdir /media/revsdrive [00:16] Steve-cal, I think so yes! [00:16] Where does gnome store the icons? [00:16] revilodraw sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/revsdrive [00:16] Although I have a mate who has a Belkin pcmcia card he was gonna let me try! [00:16] I440r: the app name is "nm-applet" and it is provided as a GNOME component by RedHat developers [00:16] BCM43, i did it.. and now?

Not unless that's how u like 'em! lol [00:18] Chiselh_uk: I think just about any wireless card works in Ubuntu with enough feneggling--just takes work. [00:18] trait, compile a vanilla kernel from kernel.org [00:18] why doesn't vlc work on the latest ubuntu? [00:18] BCM??? [00:18] I440r: because Gento is ... "operationally challenged." [00:18] +o [00:18] only in SOME ways :) [00:18] Steve-cal, I'll just have 2 abduct u then!! lol [00:19] gentoo is one of those "we do these things not because they are easy..." distros :) [00:19] !ot [00:19] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[00:35] ringer: no I did.. it's not for the faint of heart or smaller systems.. needs a little horsepower [00:35] <[1]ElBArto> this might be possible but is there anybody here who switched from ubuntu from xp and no longer need and use there xp cd key [00:35] I am seeing some aberrant network behavior, I am under the assumption that "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop" should shut down all of my interfaces yet it does not, am I missing something specific to Ubuntu that would change this? [00:35] emma: where do you save your source programs? do you delete the .tar.gz file afterwards? [00:35] Anybody have any tips for how to keep X out of failsafe, or how to get a log when it is in failsafe?

[00:37] powertool08: Personally I just save everything in my home folder. I usually extract right in my home folder. The ./configure script should put everything important where it needs to be. [00:37] ringer, i never said that [00:37] still no firefox 3.0 rc1? [00:37] norc for ff...

[00:40] Nith did you give me some really bad advice or? [00:41] powertool08: Yes one can make a home partition. I have set one up. And then, when you wish to install the latest version of Ubuntu, you can do a manual install and only reformat the root. This leaves most of your personal settings intact. You do reinstall applications but the config files for those apps were all saved in your home folder. [00:41] Jack_sparrow what does that mean? [00:41] ringer: kdenlive (kde app and somewhat unstable).. avidemux... devede...dvdauthor.. vlc (wiki's on how to use this for dvd creation) [00:41] my sending mail does not work , incoming mail server works, outgoing is smtp and written well in evolution still doesnt work [00:41] whats emerald and how do i use it [00:41] harpreet: he means that some people are very immature, and have nothing better to do [00:41] Scunizi: are those my alternatives to lives?

Having some grief with MX printing in Hardy. [00:48] powertool08: I typically save tar.gz to home and extract them in there. Then cd to the extracted source directory and run the ./configure .

[01:53] astro76: Cool thanks for the info :) I didn't know that the developers had BBQs :) [01:53] ptyo11: Scroll down until you get to the vboxgroup (or something similar). Double click on the group name, and then make sure the tickbox next to your username is ticked [01:53] jrib: screen had the wrong settings and it recoloured inkpot on the left into that, which looks pretty good [01:53] Chuggst3r: It'll update your nvidia.... so you should be fine after. [01:53] SpookyET: that I believe :) [01:53] fde: I see...so I should be ok to boot into .17 or .16?

[01:55] HackOfChris Yes [01:55] Ok [01:55] HackOfChris: I do [01:56] AlabamaHit: I use 64-bit but for no special reason at all. I just feel like it. If you want to use lots of RAM it's good. If you aren't having any problems it doesn't matter. [01:56] quit [01:56] I'm curious on why the graphics on mine running ubuntu 8.04 doesnt look as crisp as they do in Windows? [01:56] fde: :( [01:56] HackOfChris: DPI, resolution. [01:56] fde: Same boat.. [01:56] HackOfChris: Check yoru screen resolution and DPI [01:57] HackOfChris Different video card driver... [01:57] 32-bit is more compatible with various things... if you experiment with many packages, go x32 [01:57] Im getting this error on boot: http://pastebin.com/m3e142790 [01:57] krim: so it takes more to run? or capable of using more. [01:57] can I install ubuntu on an ipaq handheld computer ... or is there some special linux for ipaqs ...any reccomendation??? [01:57] o, so there is no way to get the same great look on this laptop using linux? [01:58] Chuggst3r: sudo aptitude install nvidia-glx nvidia-common ? [01:58] HackOfChris: blindness? set your DPI and resolution properly. [01:58] HackOfChris Verify you got the latest driver and that your res is set correctly [01:58] AlabamaHit: 64 bit is capable of using more ram. If you want +4 GB ram you'll need 64-bit. [01:58] Sithe ... did you install inside windows ? [01:58] fde: Isn't nvidia-glx for older cards? [01:59] eyzi: fairuse is for windows only .... :-( [01:59] how do i remove the ubuntu boot progress bar and have the boot messages instead? [01:59] ok i will have to check those, but it is possible to get the same crisp look? can i see a screenshot of yalls? [01:59] !wireless [01:59] grobda: Nope. I've had ubuntu running fine for the past year. My computer locked up in the middle of updates and I had to manually restart. Now I get that error. [01:59] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:59] Chuggst3r: I don't think so... legacy is for older [01:59] so how can I install the nvidia driver on my ubuntu? [01:59] Hoenikker remove quiet and splans from the boot command line [01:59] fde: Hm, so why does it want to remove the nvidia-glx-new package? [01:59] k, thanks [01:59] Chuggst3r: there is nvidia-glx-new also [02:00] fde: I've got the nvidia-glx-new installed. [02:00] yotsu_box: use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [02:00] Sithe: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [02:00] <__machine> when (if ever) will mod-wsgi be available in hardy? im assuming it will take some time as this is an LTS release? [02:00] Chuggst3r: You said you removed it. [02:00] That is if it's not a problem. I just kinda wanna see how ya got it. Trying to learn this stuff [02:00] jrib, tried makes the resolution alot worse [02:01] fde: I reinstalled it after I install the headers thing and restarted. [02:01] Sithe: I am assumuing you are on ubuntu not kubuntu [02:01] HackOfChris, heres mine http://img144.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotfo9.png [02:01] by the way I'm using CRT screen does that make any difference [02:01] Seeker`: I've already tried that. Didn't work. [02:01] jack_sparrow, err, wait, how do i do that? i don't have a splines package [02:01] Sithe: sudo dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:01] Chuggst3r: ok... then I don't think I can be of any more assistance, I'm sorry :( [02:02] usser: I like the way yours is set up [02:02] fde: Well thanks for all the assistance, I appreciate you taking your time to try and help. [02:02] Jack_Sparrow: my audio only works in Pulseaudio even though the card is OSS modeled (according to the Windows version of the drivers). How would i go about disabling the onboard card and installing the Audigy SE I have in my computer as well? [02:02] Hoenikker gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [02:02] usser: what graphic card ya have? [02:02] HackOfChris, tnx, its intel GM965 [02:02] oh, in grub, i get it now thanks [02:02] Vedalken I would /join #Alsa and ask them [02:03] fde: I'm curious if I somehow managed to remove my .16 headers, would that cause the .16 install to use the .17 headers and bugger everything up? [02:03] usser: is that much different from intel 945? [02:03] Hoenikker np [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [02:03] Vedalken no [02:03] problem [02:03] is there a reason why my laptop wont boot from the cdrom?

[02:05] any ideas? [02:06] instead of booting the cd like its trying to do it goes to grub and tries to load 7.10 [02:06] hi [02:06] Chuggst3r: removing the 16 headers wont make it use the 17 headers, it will just error out if it requires them (it looks in `uname -r` type directories for headers) [02:06] can anyone see me?

[02:16] Seeker`: Nothing came up [02:17] Sitherae: what do you mean? [02:17] ianliu_88: First find out what chipset your wireless card uses: sudo lshw -C network [02:17] I'm setting up a command line system and I have some problems with the wireless. It's a Zydas Zyxel g202 and uses the zd1211rw firmware. I did a modprobe zd12rw and there was no problem, a dmesg | grep zd1211rw and it says that the interface is eth1. Now, simply doing a ifconfig eth1 up won't do it, it comes out with a 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Connection timed out' immidiately. SO I tried iwconfig eth1 mode managed essid [essid] key [02:17] [passw] and then reran the ifconfig up command. Now it says 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Broken pipe' any ideas? [02:17] Seeker`: No configuration thing came up [02:17] Seeker`: Nothing ran [02:17] Sitherae: Sorry, gksudo displayconfig-gkt [02:17] *displayconfig-gtk [02:17] Jack_Sparrow: that web page assumes I can see the drive in /media - and I can't [02:17] HackOfChris, an iphone eh, u might have some troubles then, in any case try amarok it may just work with it [02:17] I just installed another HDD in my machine and put XP on there so I can play some games.

[02:19] gnurph cant help you then.. [02:19] Jack_Sparrow: didn't work...in fact it just removed my internal back-up partition from the line-up. I figure I should also note I'm booting from the live cd so I can install ubuntu onto the external HD [02:19] Chuggst3r: moving them is undoubtedly why they're broken though.

That's the ".inf" file. [02:22] fde: Yet it still gives that same modinfo error when I run the jocket. [02:22] Seeker`: It already has the correct one selected.

[02:24] (well, it defines the module anyway) [02:24] Or what it is? [02:25] you shouldnt need nvidia in /etc/modules [02:25] ianliu_88: Yes, you should be able to get the drivers from the Dell website or something. And I'm not sure Vista drivers would be better than the XP drivers... you might have to experiment and find which works. [02:25] Sitherae: anything? [02:25] prakriti: They got moved, it might let the kernel find them easier...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [02:50] whisperkiller: There is, but it's not necessarily straight forward to set up; you need a dhcp/bootp server and a tftp server set up with an install image.

[03:00] linuxmademecrazy: I'm not sure but I think using "shared" is in effect a type of WEP... try setting your Ubuntu up with WEP and enter your network key.

[03:08] kevarm: You might also look in System - Preferences - Sound and check what Sound capture is set to. [03:09] Ubuntong: if that does not help, try running kde instead of gnome when you login.

[03:13] I would like my Motherboard it to do work with some of the latest nvidia gfx cards for windows gaming, and for linux gaming and regular tasks as well, i have not decided to use AMD or Intel [03:13] melch: basically the window manager organizes and tiles up your x windows, whereas desktop environments are more comprehensive by providing settings features to control other stuff like settings, a taskbar more icons, screensavers etc. [03:13] wtf [03:13] o.O [03:13] O.o [03:14] Hello!

[03:16] linuxmademecrazy: "With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication." That's from my router manual, so it looks like even though you don't use encryption, you use WEP for the authentication part.

Not sure why it wont work for you [03:23] echazan, take a look at the benchmarks, although firefox 3 is a huge improvement over 2 its not quite as stable at the moment so opera may sound like a good alternative... but thats all offtopic [03:23] soulhacker, I'm into using workspaces, but I'd rather not switch when I move my mouse :-| [03:23] Jack_Sparrow: I hope the mouse isn't broken... I just took it out of the packaging [03:23] soulhacker, is their any easy way to turn it off? (the sliding) [03:23] should i use the package manager or use the apt-get method? [03:23] Jack_Sparrow: I'll try it on another pc. [03:23] Steve-cal, I've tried the raw pass phrase, but I see another way to go about doing it now.

[03:27] I lost my 3D acceleration from upgrading to the .17 kernel. [03:27] Nope amrik, nothing :( [03:27] Chuggst3r: ok what the hell, i had less trouble upgrading from -17 to 2.6.25.4 than you have from -16 to -17 [03:27] Downloaded it, shut down x server, installed, rebooted. It still doesn't find those .ko files.

I can only assume its finding those files missing...continuing to load, then realising it still doesn't have the ko file it needs. [03:29] DrBanzai, what does iwconfig say, what does ifconfig say can u paste it all [03:29] there are three flash plugins available for linux, which one performs the best? [03:29] DrBanzai, pastebin err [03:29] echazan: none really work that well tbqh [03:29] hmmm [03:29] hi guys my problem is a pretty idiotic one i just installed xen on my hardy but accidently chose to keeep my local menu.lst instead of the new one so do u guys have nay idea where can i get the package maintainers version???

[03:32] soulhacker: well there is definitely a way to get individual files from an archive in apt-get, but ive never had to do that [03:32] Wow, there is not one good GUI based database in Linux, is there?

[03:34] amrik: Is through apt-get ok or should I manually install it again? [03:34] Chuggst3r: through apt-get should be ok [03:34] keithclark: depends -- my experience with people using it is running bad queries through odbc against multiuser databases which is terribly annoying in large businesses where there is a lot of political things intermingled [03:34] keithclark: otherwise, as a programmer I'm happy to seek alternate routes [03:34] can you pxe boot ubuntu install cd for a client install [03:34] dhcp3-server dont start after reboot, how to fix this corect way ?

It is web based for admin tasks rather than managing records.

To fix this I restart the computer and then the video plays normaly [03:35] I don't think phpmyadmin is what he's after. [03:35] lesq: yes, but from a productivity point alone, why write code when you can point and click? Or use a code builder? Makes no sense to me. [03:35] keithclark: I find those things impose a lot of constraints on thinking and expressiveness. [03:35] How can I fix this without having to restart my computer [03:35] lesq: It let's you think about higher level things about your application rather than think about the baseline things [03:36] keithclark Please join #Ubuntu-offtopic for Discussion and opinions [03:36] is there a way to pxe boot ubuntu alternate cd for install on anothe client [03:36] Jack_Sparrow, will do, sorry.

[04:59] Chuggst3r: like ive heard stories of people banned from b.net because they were running under wine [04:59] Chuggst3r: never happened to me but idk [04:59] Chuggst3r: Most people go YEARS without updating drivers or kernels on MacOS X or Windows... no need to rush them on Linux either :D [04:59] fde: Alright, one of my many learning mistakes. I'm trying to learn how to use Linux. [04:59] fde: I thought it was just a harmless update, I know better now.

[05:03] MeSio: I never saw a question... you said you were having issues with GRUB... then started talking about something else. [05:04] Chuggst3r: Alright have a good night :) [05:04] ohh [05:04] MeSio: Ahh... yeah... you DO NOT want to remove GRUB... you want to add XP to GRUB.

[05:08] fde: so what's the limitations of the virtual xp machine? [05:08] clayd: maybe see if #xorg can enlighten you.

Any idea on how to force it to use the default sink? [05:31] ShayGuy: That may or may not be a headache... we'll see... go to System > Administration > Software Sources ... "Updates" tab... at the bottom there is "Show new distribution releases:" ... make this say "Long Term Support Only" [05:31] Hey, I don't know anyone here but maybe someone can help. I'm trying to get my wireless to work with ubuntu, but it doesn't show up in the network manager and when I read the documentation it wants me to check Hardware in the Preferences menu which isn't there.

[05:38] ShayGuy: There is, but I always get the syntax of the command wrong ;( [05:39] Starnestommy: ./configure worked and now when i type make this is one of the errors that come up [05:39] mv: cannot stat `t-be.gmo': No such file or directory [05:39] Radzero: what are you trying to build? [05:40] xchat 2.8.2 [05:40] Radzero: it's already in the package manager as xchat [05:40] have you guys ever feel like you wanted to go back to windows after because you are not accustom to ubuntu ? [05:41] Starnestommy: Gnome version is. Thats what im on right now and i dont like it [05:41] i've got lots of stuff on /boot which i dont think i need, is it safe to remove them? [05:41] Radzero: xchat-gnome and xchat are separate packages [05:41] the screen shots ive seen of the regular version i like alot better [05:41] Radzero: sudo apt-get install xchat [05:41] ShayGuy: should be 'sudo sed -i s/gutsy/hardy/ /etc/apt/sources.list' [05:42] kenalex: just change ubuntu to your needs, even to be like windows [05:42] ShayGuy: Did you get anything I said? [05:42] Yeah, made the s//. [05:42] starnestommy: E: Couldn't find package xchat [05:42] kenalex: soon its going to be the other way around :) every time im using windows on my laptop i want to be able to apt-get and cant [05:42] ShayGuy: Ok... did you cat the file to ensure it worked? [05:42] whats the command to open widget factory? [05:42] Radzero: do you have the universe repository enabled? [05:42] when i look in the package manager gui it dont show nothing but ghome and gnome-common [05:43] It worked. [05:43] what is the command to initiate the screen saver manually rather than waiting for time to expire? [05:43] Starnestommy: I dont know what that is. All ive really done that wasnt in add-remove was install java [05:43] ShayGuy: Cool... now go to System > Administration > Update Manager ... refresh, and it should ask you whether you want to update to newest Ubuntu version.... [05:43] (That's really the process for updating?? I don't remember it being that annoying...) [05:43] i got a good knowledge of dos but alot of this is diffrent [05:44] Radzero: check system>administration>software sources [05:44] Upgradin'.

[05:54] whats up with the ubuntu servers they are going horribly slow [05:54] is it just me? [05:54] how do i access network shares in bash? [05:56] cd /path/to/share ? [05:56] df -h to see whats mounted and where [05:56] joensy: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/configuring-samba.html#windows-networking-clients [05:56] keram: Yes, people have been saying the repos are slow for hours. [05:56] very odd [05:56] they were blazing a few days ago [05:56] deejaypip: aptitude install build-essential should have both I think [05:56] who was [05:57] joensy, best way to learn for me was doing, open in gui, at top where path is, change to actual path, copy paste into terminal [05:57] * Rabbitbunny pulls out his list of randon nicks he memorized for just this situation ;) [05:58] lame :/ [05:58] 5 hours to upgrade to hardy [05:58] how can i cd into smb://desktop/e/ [05:58] feel my pain. [05:58] deejaypip install them, sudo apt-get install fakeroot debhelper [05:59] Greetz all [05:59] joensy, first you need to mount the share to a directory [05:59] what can i use to join 2 videos into one? [05:59] joensy, follow fde's link [05:59] joensy if you mean smb://desktop/e/ in the filemanager, you can't go directly there in the shell. That's a virtual file system mount [05:59] tbr281, mkvmerge [06:00] tbr281 google linux video editing [06:00] deejaypip: you probably want ubuntu-dev-tools actually... or just 'sudo aptitude install debhelper fakeroot' ... you probably want dh-make too. [06:00] alright thnx [06:00] if they are mkv [06:00] there is also an avimerge in the transcode package [06:01] is it possible to se a umask on a certain directory so that all files created in it have the correct privileges? [06:01] so there is no way to set it up through gui like "map network drive" in windows? [06:01] all these dev metapackages, they make my head hurt [06:01] joensy, i think you can click places -> network and it should be in there somewhere [06:01] joensy: There is... it's automatic via the GUI... when you browse to a share, it mounts it for you [06:01] smultron__ usually you'd do that with acl's [06:01] I find it rather annoying actually... vut it works none the less.

How do i fix it? [06:02] it mounts it, but i want to manipulate the files with the terminal, not nautilus [06:02] joensy: then you need the link I said. [06:03] who here know how to use madwifi drivers for acer 242x ? [06:03] joensy, if its mounted, type 'df -h' or 'mount -l' in terminal, you will see the share and where it is mounted to, just cd to where its mounted [06:03] nickrud: ah, ok. thanks [06:03] !madwifi | fserve [06:03] fserve: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:03] Nevermind.

[06:06] ShayGuy: But yeah... when it is, reboot... and let me know if you have any issues! [06:06] d [06:06] Thank you. [06:06] nickrud: do you know if the ACLs handle files added via samba? does it not matter how they're added?

But i need it to show on the desktop, on tty7 I think. Is there a way i can run an app from SSH for example and let it show on the local running desktop? [06:08] cs u frame08 [06:08] sorry, I don't mean local, I mean on the host computer, in this case it would be remote, since I'm connecting through SSH from a different computer [06:08] blech, can't figure it out; giving up [06:09] dpt: ssh -Y ... [06:09] I don't understand fde [06:09] dpt: It has to be ran from for example gnome-terminal though to show up on that desktop. [06:09] dpt: SSH X forwarding... [06:10] dpt: Read the man page for that argument.. 'man ssh' /-Y [06:10] so I open a connection to ssh -Y remoteHOst and then when i run the command it will show up in the remote desktop? [06:10] i've got lots of stuff on /boot which i dont think i need, is it safe to remove them? [06:10] (/-Y searches (in less which the man command uses) for the string) [06:10] hi i installed a terminal context menu for nautilus with 'sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal' and reasons why i aint seeing terminal in my right click menu? do i need to restart X or something?? [06:11] I have a fresh install of hardy ubuntustudio which is deciding to freeze and go to a black screen after a few minutes. I didn't get this behavior with vanilla hardy. ANy suggestions on where to start looking to diagnose this problem? [06:11] I'm trying right now. One sec. [06:11] dpt: you can use 'DISPLAY=:0 command' assuming that's the X display you're using [06:11] fxr_: you need to restart nautilus [06:11] when i try to install libdvdcss3 it says "error: c compiler cannot create executables" [06:11] Mobilecroxis: well ubuntustudio uses the realtime kernel whereas vanilla hardy uses the generic kernel [06:11] deejaypip: install build-essential [06:11] thanks starnestommy [06:11] dpt: Yes... [06:12] crdlb, is there a command for thta? i have tried closing all instances of it.. i guess nautilus is still alive somewhere? [06:12] Have an MP3 player which shows up as a regular mounted drive. Is it possible to have amarok recognize it somehow, and manage syncing of playlists. It's capable of MTP but that seems more trouble than what it's worth. [06:12] is there a way i can setup virtual local hosts easily? (something like the hosts file in windows) or do i have to setup bind etc? [06:12] fde, i cant paste anything in icons [06:12] close as in close all nautillus windows [06:12] how to install xp after ubuntu..it removes my boot partition...i have not given seperate boot partition [06:12] fxr_: it stays running as the desktop [06:12] Uplink: sudo it. [06:12] fde, how? [06:12] ahh i see, crdlb.. ll work that out then, thanks heh : ) [06:12] Uplink: sudo cp /dir/with/icons /usr/share/icons/ [06:13] fde, ty [06:13] fxr_: either nautilus --quit or killall nautilus (it'll respawn) [06:13] sure??? [06:13] yeah it will respawn [06:13] Does Emerald work fine in hardy? [06:13] ahh and thats it, easy when you know how eh.. thanks again crdlb [06:13] is there a way i can setup virtual (local) hosts easily? (something like the hosts file in windows) or do i have to setup bind etc? [06:14] twistage: sur [06:14] e [06:14] jedimind: /etc/hosts [06:14] oh neat [06:14] thanks :) [06:15] jedimind: Windows uses the FreeBSD tcp stack... for which that file pertains. [06:15] iirc, it's part of the BSD networking stack with some extensions, not freebsd [06:15] (Although the Linux tcp stack doesn't use FreeBSD code at all these days... entirely re-written since 2.5.something) [06:15] fde, they reimplemented it in vista, if I am not mistaken. One of the reasons why it sucks. [06:15] going on with concert of "Gratefull Dead" at "Debian information Center" in Second Life [06:16] Starnestommy: Well... but they continue to take FreeBSD code... and Windows XP contains the FreeBSD license, not the old BSD one. [06:16] ahhh, I tried following the directions here http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/13/enable-commercial-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu/ and installing everything that I needed in order to do that but I still can't play DVDs [06:16] enmalizbeth: I assure you they still took most code from FreeBSD... they're not that smart over there :P [06:17] fde i cant :( [06:17] deejaypip: That's not what I told you...

[06:26] Uplink: And that icon theme too... so it fits in fine atm [06:26] fde, doesnt fit with mines? :((( [06:26] twistage, well you can turn on the visual effect and then go in by hand and disable most of the plugins, or you could try using emerald without compiz, which should work iirc [06:26] Uplink: strange... restart firefox? log out and back in of gnome? [06:26] ok fde [06:26] Uplink: here it just worked. [06:27] fde, how can i put terminal on my quick launch?

[06:28] heh [06:29] fde, why my icons arent working right? [06:29] might be forced to use a version of g++ greater the 2.0 itn ;) [06:29] fde, do i have to load them with a command or something? [06:29] whats a good site for emerald themes [06:29] Uplink: I'm not sure... I had issues with the regular set... went with the gloss version instead, which is working fine.

It contains the only 2.6 kernel that properly supports my hardware :( [06:30] gnome-looks.org has them twistage iirc [06:30] fde, oh yea! ok... let me try the gloss version :( [06:30] thanks [06:30] well, I need something solid for production servers.. just broke gentoo, having a heck of time picking it up..

[06:32] hi [06:32] crap I'll download em both and try em out [06:32] well, it be fair fedora too itn [06:32] itn i'd suggest the former over the latter, unless you want single source support [06:32] does anybody knows of aftp server with utf8 or greek support? [06:32] does anyone know when virtualbox kernal module will be updated? [06:32] thanoulis: vsftpd ? [06:32] debian eh.. single source support? [06:33] thanoulis: umm... they all should. [06:33] itn, Ubuntu is based on debian of course [06:33] mark__: its in updates-proposed [06:33] not sure what you mean by that, but I will need a means of easily managing the os across many servers.. [06:33] vsftpd does not have utf8...:( [06:33] itn I mean support for both desktops and servers from the same source [06:33] I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.24-17 [06:33] oh, no just servers, the more bare bones the better [06:34] but there is no virtualbox kernel module [06:34] anyone have any problems with their video drivers after upgrading to 8.04?

[06:34] jedimind: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart [06:34] pppZero i have the same problem [06:34] jedimind: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [06:34] jedimind, /etc/init.d/apache restart [06:34] jedimind: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [06:34] pppZero probably because you don't have additional resolutions defined in xserver.xorg [06:35] jedimind: also, it's now apache2ctl [06:35] fde, whats this for? ".-add a "Main Menu" to your panel" [06:35] pppZero erm, xorg.conf doh [06:35] itn , 8.04 is LTS so this might be good time for you to start with it ;) [06:35] ah perfect Starnestommy, thanks :) [06:35] m1r: 75% downloaded =) [06:35] Uplink: That's one menu with Applications, Places, and System in the same place. [06:35] pppZero i tryed to reinstall video drivers after i upgraded and i have the same problem [06:35] itn: m1r is right, 8.04 is going to be supported for the next five years :D [06:35] im stuck in 800x600 [06:35] Uplink: As apposed to Menu Bar [06:35] heh, awesome [06:35] fde, so i do what the read me says?

[06:36] !hardy [06:36] Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [06:36] fde, what? [06:36] ross_ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:36] i tried that [06:36] Uplink: eh... just do what you did last time... wrong help question :D [06:36] fde lol ok [06:36] does the /etc/hosts file accept wildcards? [06:36] jedimind: yes [06:36] I wish they would put the torrent links on the main download page though [06:36] itn: correction, *officially* supported - there may still be community support after that [06:36] nickrud: ok nevermind [06:36] nickrud: i forgot the get* [06:37] what format ? *.domain.com ip ? [06:37] jedimind: yup [06:37] or other way around that is but yeah [06:37] if hardy desktop is suported 3 years and server 5, then i install server as my base system and add desktop to it to get 5 years support ? :) [06:37] do i have to restart anything for hosts file changes to take effect? [06:38] Daisuke_Ido: well so far all I know is they've done a really good job "selling" ubuntu on their website..

[06:38] fde: right, but was just a thought :P [06:38] m1r: There's always SOMETHING that makes you want to go on [06:39] fde , like update-manager -d on 1st beta :P [06:39] m1r: I'm not really sure how they distinguish to be honest... the systems are exactly the same. [06:39] ross_ you might like to use system->admin->synaptic , use ctl-f to search and click the box to the left of the found packages, then the apply button [06:39] fde , that why i am asking [06:39] m1r: Eh... I'll be going to intrepid as soon as they throw in 2.6.25 [06:39] fde: maybe desktop stops to be suported [06:39] nickrud: hoo rah [06:40] m1r: And I'm hoping it'll be asap [06:40] does ubuntu install apache/mysql/etc/etc by default? [06:40] can someone help me with ssh [06:40] itn: no [06:40] nickrud: yup found it thanks ; ) [06:40] ross_ otherwise, it's always apt-get install [06:40] fde: very good =) thx [06:40] itn, u get LAMP option in instsall process [06:40] nickrud: wow that's great [06:40] is the a way to copy from my local server to my remote server with ssh? [06:40] well, I'm beat, I'm gonna go sleep and try setting up DVD playback ability again tomorrow [06:40] navetz__ scp [06:40] navetz__: that's kinda the point of scp [06:41] Can i have help with a partial upgrade plz? [06:41] i've got lots of stuff on /boot which i dont think i need, is it safe to remove them? [06:41] fde, nickrud: scp works with ssh? [06:41] LinuxFreak: what is a 'partial upgrade' ? [06:41] bbyever unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing, NO [06:41] navetz__: it's part of ssh [06:41] fde, ok i pasted my icons [06:41] where can i find the linux flash blocker [06:41] do i have to type any command? [06:41] fde: awesome thanks [06:41] ross_: check at mozzila addons [06:41] Lik wen u hav got too may updates [06:42] so u cant install all of them! [06:42] Uplink: You choose it in Icons customization again? Should be working in Firefox et al now [06:42] mlr: perfect, thank you : ) [06:42] LinuxFreak put a copy of the complete output from apt-get -f install (if it fails) [06:42] fde, no command? no anything? [06:42] why doesn't xchat save my nickname and username etc? [06:42] LinuxFreak: sudo apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade [06:42] LinuxFreak erm, up on paste.ubuntu.com , that is [06:42] LinuxFreak: sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade [06:42] nickrud: well i have like 10 diferent initrd.img-2.6.27-*-rt/generic and im pretty sure i dont need them all... [06:42] Uplink: you untared what was in that dir again right? [06:43] ok nickrud [06:43] Uplink: It's _exactly_ the same as last time [06:43] Uplink: Just a different icon set [06:43] bbyever better would be to run synaptic, and uninstall the packages themselves. That will get some other stray stuff as well [06:43] fde, i didnt type anything the last time and my icons didnt work right :( [06:43] nickrud: ok thanks [06:43] Uplink: This set is more full... [06:43] fde, ;) [06:44] Uplink: I'm using the gloss set... firefox and folder icons are fine (latter being why I chose gloss) [06:44] (I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition!) [06:44] thanks for all the help, good night [06:44] Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition. [06:44] LinuxFreak running m1r's suggestion first would be a good idea, depends on where you are in the install. Won't hurt anything === TheInquisition is now known as Spam [06:45] * Spam turns off script. [06:45] * nickrud really hopes spam doesn't lives up to his name [06:45] s/up/down/ [06:45] spam [06:45] spam [06:45] spam [06:45] Spam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:45] Just kidding. [06:46] Anyway, I need help setting up a bulk mail server. [06:46] heh [06:46] hey guys. what deskletp app do you recommened on ubuntu? [06:46] gdesklets? which one is the nicest? [06:46] huh, what a morning config tor [06:46] StevenX: screenlets [06:46] none of the above, StevenX [06:46] fde, thanks. are there themes for that? [06:46] nickrud, how come? [06:46] StevenX: many [06:46] anyone using tor privoxy? [06:46] mlr, i think it is working! [06:46] When connecting to a server with gnome-terminal through ssh and running irssi, is it possible to get the taskbar to flash in ubuntu when a message is highlighted in irssi? [06:46] StevenX in my experience, they are all buggy [06:46] LinuxFreak: it must :) [06:47] I've started an e-mail marketing company that advertises via sending advertising e-mails to people's addresses on Craigslist. [06:47] StevenX: screenlets is the nicest by far... they are actual mini apps rather than just html boxes [06:47] I use screenlets [06:47] they are easy to write [06:47] mlr, when i did it using update-manager it failed! [06:47] nickrud, yea. my experience says the same. that's why i came in here to ask. [06:47] I already completed the script that extracts the addresses. [06:47] Spam you won't find much help here. In fact, it's not an acceptable topic at all [06:48] I need help setting up the bulk mailer. [06:48] Spam: No one here will assist with that. [06:48] No, this isn't true spam. You can unsubscribe. [06:48] fde, my firefox crashed :( [06:48] when you are doing scp, is there a way to specify that you wanna copy all directories except one? [06:48] fde, and can i find these themes on deviant art or is there a specific website you prefer? [06:48] Spam: mailman [06:49] there are valid applications for bulk email Spam but you did introduce yourself poorly heh [06:49] fde, woah ;) you seem to help here a lot =D [06:49] Is it possible to change the file extensions of about 100 files, all in a single directory, from .JPG to .jpg? [06:49] fde, my icons work! yay! [06:49] This is simply the modern equivalent of advertising snail mail. [06:49] <<< hands beer to fde [06:49] Spam, isit true then, when you unsubscribe, it tells a spammer that ur emal add is active? [06:49] RancidKraut there's a decent gui app for that, prefixsuffix [06:49] StevenX: www.gnome-look.org [06:49] Carbonflux: I already have the method of obtaining addresses. [06:49] fde, i installed screenlets from apt-get. how do i star it? [06:49] * sluxor hands beer to fde [06:49] fde, thanks again. [06:49] nickrud: Thank you very much. [06:50] RancidKraut: rename 's/\.JPG/\.jpg/' *.JPG [06:50] StevenX: should be in Applications > Acessories [06:50] Spam seriously, this topic is off limits here. Last warning. [06:50] * fde likes heineken :) [06:50] LinuxFreak: But then you pay $1.00 to get taken off of the list. [06:50] astro76: Thank you as well, that's what I was looking for. A GUI would be nice though so I'm gonna check it out. [06:50] m1r, if every guy who fde helped would give him a beer he would have a supply for the rest of the year [06:50] =D [06:50] Okay. [06:50] or more! [06:50] exactly lw0x15 [06:50] fde, it's not there. it installed fine in apt-get. no errors [06:50] Spam: Use mailman there are docs everywhere... you DO NOT want a mass mail sender... at least no one here will assist with that. [06:51] StevenX: dpkg -L screenlets | grep bin [06:51] StevenX: run the appropriate with a & after it. [06:51] This is a legal company paying IRS income tax. [06:51] fde, bro... why not all the icons are loaded? [06:51] (It's probably in prefs) [06:51] hey, i need a console torrent client that automatically scans a directory looking for new .torrent files. anyone know? [06:51] fde, I get the following: [06:51] /usr/bin [06:51] /usr/bin/screenlets-manager [06:51] /usr/bin/screenlets-packager [06:51] /usr/bin/screenletsd [06:51] StevenX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:51] Uplink: I'm not sure, its working fine here. [06:51] ebox is pretty nice, is there anything better before i commit to using it in production? [06:51] nickrud: Wow, that works amazingly easily. [06:52] Very simple. [06:52] StevenX: -manager [06:52] fde, do u see the ubuntu logo on the menu bar? [06:52] fde, great! thanks [06:52] RancidKraut yeah, it's good in it's little world. Not all of us are perl guru's like astro76 [06:52] Uplink: No... because that's not part of that icon theme... it's a white foot... to match the theme [06:52] fde: http://www.jutarnji.hr/EPHResources/Images/2007/09/22/pivo.jpg , girl not included ;) [06:52] mokzu: ebox is the new/better thing so enjoy ;) [06:53] nickrud: hah far from it ;) [06:53] fde, i see a white frame with a black square [06:53] hey all, how to display the user on xchat to be displayed, instead of just and icon [06:53] Uplink: yuck... logout and back in please. [06:53] i mean to be displayed permanently not temporary when you click the icon [06:53] what did i do wrong! :( [06:54] new2linux_: care to restate that? [06:54] I think he means the hostmask? [06:54] fde: i want the users on a room in xchat to be displayed permanently on the right side of the xchat windows [06:54] fde: are there anyway to do it? [06:54] how do i rip a bought dvd in ubuntu [06:54] any good SPSS (statisctical calculations, etc.) application-like alternatives for linux? [06:54] ah, thats in the settings new2linux_ [06:55] neil, use handbrake, that's the best tool for that job, IMHO [06:55] fde: i've installed xchat on fedora and all the users was shown on the right side, not just icon of how many users on the room like in ubuntu [06:55] ok where do i get that [06:55] neil, http://handbrake.fr/ [06:55] Thanks fde [06:55] new2linux_, Settings->Preferences->User List [06:55] thank you dude [06:56] new2linux_: you need to drag the nick list open from the right side, assuming you are using xchat and not xchat-gnome? (no idea about xchat-gnome) [06:56] FreeNodeMafia, why is that bad advice? [06:56] what's the difference between gnome-terminal and just terminal ? [06:56] new2linux_: View > User List ... uncheck [06:57] Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 196.1.237.210:8080 any help please ?? [06:57] lw0x15: 'Terminal' is a terminal for the xfce desktop which is nearly identical to gnome-terminal (since it uses the same terminal widget called libvte) [06:57] FreenodeMafia, lol. It has a complete english UI, and it's actually pretty cool. I assumed you were worried about copyright violations or something of the sort. [06:57] how would you become an Op? [06:57] fde: Settings ->Preferences -> User List, no such user list option found [06:57] ah i see :] usually the terminal took a bit longer to load than the gnome terminal [06:58] fde: View > User List, no such view panel found [06:58] i'm using xchat gnome 0.18 [06:59] lw0x15: just to make sure it's the same one, does the window icon contain a white dollar sign? [06:59] new2linux_, you need to use xchat2 [06:59] new2linux_, the gnome version of xchat is limited === xenos is now known as DocHoliday [06:59] hi [07:00] crdlb, dont know they are changed >_> but the terminals are different in colours so i guess they arent the same [07:00] lol [07:00] i have the same question about the terminal as well === DocHoliday is now known as xenos [07:00] What should I use to get EXIF data from photos? [07:00] carbonflux: how to use the xchat2? should i uninstall this version and install the new one? [07:00] #FreenodeMafia, well then pardon my ignorance. I can give you a private message back, so, this provides an ackward situation. [07:00] Alright, I've been struggling with this for a few hours now. I have a D-Link D542 Wireless Adapter and I can't get it working in Ubuntu. No wireless connections show up in the Network Manager. I tried consulting the documentation, but I couldn't find anything of help. It also tells me to look in Preferences > Hardware Information, which isn't even there. I've looked around the forums, but I... [07:00] ...really don't know what to do. [07:01] new2linux_: No... I mean just click it to uncheck the option in the menu [07:01] lw0x15: well, gnome-terminal and Terminal are configured separately, but their functionality is the same [07:01] alright. i prefer the gnome one >_> [07:01] carbonflux: can't find xchat2 on the add/remove programs. Should i find it through google and get the package and use synaptic for the installation? [07:01] new2linux_: Just hit 'ctrl + f7' [07:01] Catslacks: does it list in lspci * [07:01] Catslacks: I feel you, man. I've had my share of big wireless problems with Ubuntu. Support on the issue is not always great because every card is different. Did you try the forums? [07:02] new2linux_: look for xchat in system > administration > synaptic package manager [07:02] new2linux_: you'll find the complete package selection in System > admin > synaptic package manager [07:02] new2linux_, do you know about the package manager? System->Administration->Synaptic [07:02] fde: nothing happen with ctr+f7 [07:02] heh ya [07:02] Sziasztok! Azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy ha elindítom az Ubuntu Live CD-jét és beállítom az internetkapcsolatot Live alatt és úgy telepítem akkor az internet beállításokkal együtt települ? [07:02] Yes, but I couldn't find much on the forum. I'm not sure what lspci is, but I was reading the forums and it mentioned something about "UNCLAIMED" meaning the drivers weren't there? [07:02] carbonflux: ok, i'll try that [07:02] new2linux_: hold down ctrl and hit f7 ... it should take away the list. [07:03] Catslacks: open terminal and type: lspci [07:03] new2linux_, use the search button, look for xchat2, that will give you the version you are used too I think [07:03] I'll try that. I wish there was a faster way to do this because I've restarted at least 50 times now, haha [07:03] Catslacks: no restart needed [07:04] How can I get to the terminal then ? (same computer) [07:04] catslacks: ctrl+f2, then type gnome-terminal [07:05] catslacks: nevermind don't listen to me ;x [07:05] fde: i did that, hold down ctr 1st and then hit f7, nothing happen [07:05] I'm on Vista. Ctrl+F2 doesn't seem to be doing anything [07:06] Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 196.1.237.210:8080 any help please ?? [07:06] fde! :(((((((((((( [07:06] what is soft sound mixing? i want to turn off system beeps. for example, when i keep hitting delete, etc when there is nothing to delete or when i shutdown the system. i want those beeps off, and unchecking "system beep" doesn't seem to work [07:06] Catslacks: so u ask for vista problem here ? [07:06] No. [07:06] Catslacks: do you want to wipe Vista ? [07:06] No. [07:06] Catslacks, try #windows [07:06] 1,264 users -- wow his place has grown [07:06] this place even [07:06] bashca: is a web server running on port 8080 of 196.1.237.210 ?

Thanks. [07:07] man, i am loving this new theme and the screenlets. [07:07] What ircd would you guys advise me to use? [07:07] compizfusion, gnome, etc are something else. [07:07] anyone got similar mesage : 08:04:26) FreenodeMafia: Leave #ubuntu now. ? [07:07] I'll go try lspci and be back in a few minutes. [07:07] lol. StevenX I sense you were bored the other day [07:08] mll, yea, i got that too. some stupid bot. [07:08] Dew420, what do you mean? [07:08] StevenX: ok i thought i am beeing warned for trying to help :) [07:08] test: ircd-hybrid and ircd-ircu are in the repos, but there are a few others out there that you'll need to compile yourself [07:08] StevenX ; last time I got bored I re-themed everything I could think of [07:08] how does this guy solve the problem? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/xchat2-ubuntu-6.06-where-is-the-user-list-489366/ [07:08] Dew420, hahaha. yea. actually, i am procrastinating.

[07:09] Starnestommy, thanks... I also need to use services.. when on windows I used UnrealIRCd and Anope [07:10] GeorgeA: those also exist for linux, but you'll need to compile them from source [07:10] Starnestommy, I see... do you recommend it? [07:10] how do i install handbrake on ubuntu [07:10] neil: :) [07:11] whats the best jabber client for ubuntu? im i might be in the process of converting from fedora, because FC9 sucks so bad [07:11] locohost_: maybe gajim [07:11] locohost_: pidgin works fine [07:11] how do i install handbrake onto ubuntu [07:11] ыц [07:11] freshkcc: try lspci | grep Network or lsusb whichever applys then find driver for chipset [07:12] locohost_: Pigin is OK [07:12] is there a gajim, or is that gaim spelled wrong [07:12] gaim =pidgin [07:12] thanks Rat409, I'll look into that rightnow [07:12] GeorgeA: I've used them both for a while [07:12] locohost, pidgin's got a weird bug though, sometimes it freezes and gets all whacky in graphics, and takes up CPU and basically stops working, for me this happens a lot, for others it might be less buggy though! [07:12] locohost_: gajim is not gaim [07:12] Anyone else getting messages from FreenodeMafia? [07:12] gajim=jabber-client [07:12] how to install drivers and software for notebook camera (orbicam) [07:12] yes, Spam [07:12] spam , yes me [07:13] /ignore FreenodeMafia [07:13] thanks for the command [07:13] how do i install an tar.gz application [07:13] there an xchat plugin or anything?

I'm in manual partition.. [07:15] I went and typed: lspci and got Network Controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Ar5416 802.11abgn Wireless PCI Adapter (rev 01). So it's there. [07:15] if I get out of this gui, will they give me access to fdisk? [07:15] itn: I always advise GUIDED partitioning [07:15] um how do i install handbrake onto ubuntu? [07:15] really, why is that? [07:16] itn , u might try #ubuntu-server [07:16] m11: ah, thank you [07:16] itn: during a linux install always opt for guided partitioning. [07:16] neil, http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CompileGuide [07:16] hmm, do i need a package to make pidgeon work with jabber? [07:16] locohost_: no, pidgin works with jabber through the xmpp protocol [07:17] iv downloaded the tar.gz file but dont know how to install it [07:17] neil: Don't use the QT gui component unless you've previously ran apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [07:17] ;) [07:17] neil: extract it, then look for a readme or install file in it [07:17] жопа!

[07:19] Hold on, I'll type it out again. I'm having to restart every time I need to time something into the terminal so it's very time consuming. [07:19] sluxor, neil.

[07:21] i see :] [07:22] i'm new with ubuntu, so this may take me awhile [07:22] yeah, FreenodeMafia should be the utmost expert [07:22] I have a D-Link D542 Wireless Adapter. When I got into the Network Manager there are no wireless connections to connect to. I consulted the documentation and it says to go to Preferences -> Hardware Information, but that doesn't seem to be there. I tried a few other things in the guide but I'm not getting anywhere. I was talking to someone else and they told me to type lspci and so I did and... [07:22] rmdir works if it's empty =P [07:22] ...it outputted: "Atheros Communications Inc. AR5416 802.11abgn Wireless PCI" as my Network Controller. [07:22] FreenodeMafia is evading my ignore. :( [07:22] Spam, he already pm'ed me before to tell me that i suck at supporting lol [07:22] !danger [07:22] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [07:22] i'm using devilspie to run an embedded terminal, when i grab an icon behind it (half covered) and drag it out to where i can see it, the terminal has a thin border line which won't go away unless i logout/back in, why? a better way to reset? any ideas? [07:22] Catslacks: then is there, it is just not configed imo [07:23] ubottu, well, you should be very careful when using the command. Make sure you know what you are deleting. [07:23] enmalizbeth: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [07:23] oh, crap [07:23] So what do I do? [07:23] woah Amaranth you got him =D [07:23] freshkcc: atheros.cz says madwifi works http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ [07:23] google is your friend [07:23] lw0x15: He needs to be klined... but no staff are about atm [07:23] starnes, thanks xmmp was the key word. --seems to work great with my tls jabber server [07:24] google is the best man at your wedding! [07:24] lol [07:24] My laptop is constantly saying things about my wireless card and PHY transmission error. Is there a way I can silence it? I don't use the wireless anyway [07:24] is anyone aware of a fix for the "lose keyboard and mouse" problem? [07:24] disable the wireless card, or take away it's ability to come up automatically on boot up [07:24] can anyone help me? [07:25] Catslacks: do you see your card under netwrok manager ? [07:25] i have issues configuring xampp [07:25] guys i cant make the stand by mode to work on ubuntu 8.04 for my nobo. I mean, once I logoff and close my notebook and open it again there is no image. for some reason the display will not work, even if a press the nobo's Fn buttons to make it wakeup. any suggestions? [07:25] sounds like acpi issues, tough one [07:25] In Ubuntu or Windows? In Ubuntu there is nothing in the Network Manager [07:25] i get 2 errors when trynh http://localhost [07:25] Warning: file_get_contents(lang.tmp) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permiso denegado in /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/index.php on line 2 [07:25] help please [07:25] Catslacks: this not windows support chanell :) [07:26] I know. [07:26] rodolfo: try ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to virtual console, and ctrl+alt+F7 to switch back, does that fix it? [07:26] rodolfo: suspend/hibernate is still broken for alot of people [07:26] I'm not looking for windows support. I'm trying to get my wireless working in ubuntu. [07:26] rodolfo: configure your machine so it DOESN'T suppend when you close the monitor. It's not a real solution, but it will avoid the problem. [07:26] rodolfo: My Ubuntu Alternate refuses to hibernate. [07:27] astro76 neither the ctrl+alt+F1 nor ctrl+alt+backspace seems to work [07:27] best cisco concentrator client in ubuntu? vpnc probably? any got-ya's?

[07:27] anyone help me whit xampp please! [07:27] Another question about laptops in general... are the flourescent tubes that light the LCDs supposed to get too hot to touch the plastic around them? >_> (they are flourecsent bulbs... right?) [07:27] How am I supposed to do that? I mean, I know it WOULD be, but my wireless isn't working so.. [07:28] robg_ this is not an update from 7.10. [07:28] rodolfo: On a desktop it is not much of a problem, given the advantages that the OS offers. [07:28] enmalizbeth, and how can I do that? =P [07:28] lol, no, they are lcd's not flourcent bulbs [07:28] Catslacks: lan cable to router ? [07:28] robg_ true, but I can't tell the same for nobos :( [07:28] I don't have a 100 foot lan cable and can't move my computer right now for various reasons so [07:28] rodolfo: gutsy and hardy are having those problems. i heard it worked great befor gutsy [07:29] rodolfo, power management configuration, the option is around there. There is drop down or something, that gives you an option to select what happens when the monitor close event is fired. [07:29] rodolfo, select "do nothing" [07:29] can [07:29] rodolfo: I simply switch on in the morning and off in the evening. On Vista hibernation and powersavers were also a problem. [07:29] rodolfo, can't remember the specific details, and don't have a machine with windows nearby to look at the UI [07:29] is the "lose keyboard and mouse" problem related to the video driver?? or the enhancement feature of the desktop.? [07:29] is there any way i can install ubuntu or kubuntu but exclude the splash screen, cause that splash screen causes my graphics card to halt before it gets a chance to reach x windows system? [07:29] how do i install handbrake cli on ubuntu [07:30] locohost_: they're lit with special flourescent tubes fyi [07:30] as soon as it tries to load.. BANG [07:30] :( [07:30] sluxor: there is an boot option which disables the splash screen [07:30] ahh, a series of tubes, of course. i suppose i jumped in half conversation, sry [07:30] sluxor: try to remove splash from boot parameters, such as in f6 while booting from CD [07:30] enmalizbeth, it's ok [07:30] thanx [07:31] I know Xorg works fince once i apt-get my video drivers [07:31] its just the splash screen that doesnt [07:31] what is CLI [07:31] Command Line Interface [07:31] neil - Command Line Interface [07:31] enmalizbeth, and the powermanagement is set to do nothing, hopefully there will be a patch for this or something [07:31] sluxor: and if you want, you could remove quiet too :) [07:31] yeh thats all i need .. in which part of the installation should i edit grub.conf? [07:32] i didnt notice a chance to reach the console [07:32] before reaching the slash screen [07:32] neil: command line interface means you do everything from terminal instead of gui [07:32] sluxor: while booting from CD press f6, remove the commands, and that will stay in the grub config [07:32] sluxor: after installing [07:32] cool thanx [07:32] grub.conf=redhat? [07:32] well, not redhat specificly [07:32] is there a gui for handbrake [07:32] Rat409: it's the official filename, but debian uses menu.lst, i think [07:32] robg_ glad to know that this is not a linusers problem only. winusers have it as well >) [07:32] how do i play .asf video files? [07:32] but, redhat based distros are big on grub [07:33] Rat409: /boot/grub/menu.lst on debian systems ;) [07:33] rodolfo: power saving logic is extremely complex and in my opinion a waste of effort. [07:33] neil: i think dvdrip would be a better choice for you you can install it in synaptic [07:33] neil, it's not as bad as it looks. with handbrake, once you go through the options once, you can pretty much reuse them over and over again. I just had a small text file with all the handbrake options I needed. Copy/Paste and edit file name. Presto! [07:33] i know [07:33] is it possible to comepletely turn off the backlighting via the underlying linux, not gui?... it'd be nice... [07:33] hello all, i have a problem with my soundcard after upload my ubuntu for 8.04, any can help me please?

[07:34] sluxor, we already have functional BD rippers? [07:35] I wonder if there already IS a solution for this issue on third-party programs from Ubuntu repos.... [07:35] sluxor, I thought most of that stuff was still in proof of concept stage? [07:35] Anybody happen to have any hint for repairing X, with a known good conf(before upgrade) and no error logs (crappy upgrade)? [07:35] enmalizbeth: someone developed a BD player that can rip BDs, so people did it on their PS3 linux for a while until sony updated the firmware and corrupted my /dev/sr0 .

[07:44] new2linux_: 1 user per thin, you dont "have" to but its a good practice [07:44] new2linux_: would be mess if all users would have same acount and use same files :) [07:44] fde, i got it! :D [07:45] <[GUN]Wires> hey [07:45] Uplink: yay!

[08:08] Yachaziel, it was a long time ago, but yeah, issues trying to get messages, managing contacts, etc. [08:08] fde: that's xmdcp [08:08] it was for me [08:09] fde: err, xdmcp [08:09] jakarta [08:09] What's a good program for reformatting .m4b files (unprotected) to mp3? [08:09] Adlai: you're right... XAMPP is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAMPP [08:09] man just type that line that guy gave and on the part where it shows you're displays resolution uncheck the highest one that is checked. it will solve you're prob [08:09] I do not have the mp3 software/lame dll [08:09] anyone know how to disable away status messages and such in xchat?

[08:11] Apparently i just updated to a new kernel (2.6.24.17), and since it works well, i want to remove 2.6.24.16, which hardy came with.. however i can't find a kernel by that name, i just seem to have headers and modules for it, and a kernel called 'generic' [08:11] openros: one way is to overwrite your existing OS. [08:11] i dont know if i can get used to vi in ubuntu [08:11] well im having a resolition problem but not like yours. mines too high. it works but I want it lower. the screen flickers when I try to lower it [08:11] geek: that's 'linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic' [08:11] openros, do you hae a separate home partition? [08:11] robg_: but all my installed packaged will go off na [08:11] locohost try using vim then [08:11] !chmod | Yachaziel [08:12] openros: you can save files to CD and then overwrite.

[08:12] no, [08:12] Adlai: ahhh [08:12] oops ;p [08:12] there are too many other distros available and much less buggy [08:12] thanks [08:12] I have installed and usng the same partion for home [08:12] Adlai: It's a seperate thing... The distribution for Linux systems (tested for SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake and Debian) contains: Apache, MySQL, PHP & PEAR, Perl, ProFTPD, phpMyAdmin, OpenSSL, GD, Freetype2, libjpeg, libpng, gdbm, zlib, expat, Sablotron, libxml, Ming, Webalizer, pdf class, ncurses, mod_perl, FreeTDS, gettext, mcrypt, mhash, eAccelerator, SQLite and IMAP C-Client. <-- from the site [08:12] thats a good idea, im just so used to typing vi, i dont think to type it [08:12] openros, if you want to keep your docs and settings , a separate home is the way to go [08:13] ill probably just link my bashrc [08:13] fde: not interested, sorry [08:13] Adlai: I guess it does some magic to combine all those things. [08:13] Adlai: then stop replying? [08:13] !chmod [08:13] An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [08:13] I googled, it was told there to use gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" === Blasphemer is now known as rotted [08:14] ahhh!

[08:15] I googled, it was told there to use gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" [08:15] but not cdromupgrade file in the free cd [08:15] Anybody aware of any application that will allow me to perform a broadband speed test (up/down) via command line? [08:15] Ya ,i will backup the required data [08:15] Anyone know of a good program to reformat files from m4b (unprotected) to mp3? i also lack the lame.dll if someone can point me in the direction of that for linux [08:15] o0 [08:16] !netsplit [08:16] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[08:16] m11: i know what they are. it was just a *particularly* bad one [08:16] Yachaziel: you probably want ubuntu-restricted-extras, and then some tool like sox (if you're okay with cli) or some gui conversion tool (I don't know of any in particular [08:16] freetown_feizhou kvm? [08:17] Yachaziel: the lame library is in liblame0, the binary (command-line) is in lame [08:17] Dew420: yes. kvm. the new fangled hypervisor in hardy heron? [08:17] Adlai, magnetron: I know it doesn't use dll's. I have long accepted that linux works via magic. I just need the hocus-pocus words to make it love me again. [08:17] openros, accordin this you cant :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=772012 [08:17] could anyone help me with viewing files on my XP partition in ubuntu? I have no idea where to start [08:17] Why does X/GDM use low graphics mode and NOT use my nvidia driver? [08:17] freetown_feizhour not as of yet :s that im aware hah. [08:17] <_ruben> freetown_feizhou: #ubunutu-virt is the place for virtualization stuff [08:17] but ty for the idea [08:17] <_ruben> #ubuntu-virt that is [08:17] thnx _ruben [08:18] twisties: try : sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [08:18] Yachaziel: well yeah, you'll want one of the dependencies of ubuntu-restricted-extras in order to read/write mp3s; you might as well install the whole package if you're not a software libre evangelist [08:18] swedekid: tis simple. just open it, it'll ask for a password, type it in, and you can see things. well in theory [08:18] m11: i have nvidia-settings, when i open it it sais "you do not appear to be using an NVIDIA X driver" [08:18] I get an error saying unable to mount volume [08:19] this is i had this working today. all lovely with Compiz [08:19] swedekid, look here:http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [08:19] Adlai: So... I need to open the software catalouge and get the dependencies for mp3's? [08:19] thanks [08:19] Yachaziel ; which ubuntu are yu running? [08:19] Yachaziel: something of that order, sure [08:19] Dew420: Hardy [08:20] Yachaziel: ok, first you need to go to http://www.medibuntu.org and install their "repository". then you need a tool called "ffmpeg", install it with synaptic [08:20] anyone know how to get a working channels.conf? [08:20] magnetron: Ok. One moment... [08:20] I'm trying to install the new version of Banshee on Hardy [08:21] But either their instructions are useless, or I am :( [08:21] Low Graphics Mode is painfull, why does it use this instead of my correctly installed Nvidia driver? [08:21] i'm a bit confused. i use chrt to change the priorites of 2 irq handlers in kubuntu. the processes are call IRQ-11 etc. under plain ubuntu i can't find them ? [08:21] which irc client is the best to use with ubuntu? most like mIrc [08:21] xchat is my Fav IRC client for ubuntu [08:22] Dew420: use kvirc [08:22] xchat [08:22] i started on mirc, then moved ot xchat love it [08:22] Seamonkey :p [08:22] im using Pidgin at the moment and it's awful for IRC [08:22] Wuyanlin: Ok I did that and when I typed in sudo fdisk -l it came up with this "Partition table entries are not in disk order" in addition to what it shows on the website [08:22] I'm using pidgin too, can't reccomend it for irc... [08:22] I currently use xchat as well it's pretty good but I dno :P [08:23] do i just keep following the directions or is there a problem? [08:23] Here's a good question. Is it possible to use KDE's Kopete messenger in Gnome? [08:23] Dew420: enter the channel #ubuntu-bots it has a lot of poll results [08:23] I loved it when using KDE [08:23] twisties: of course [08:23] swedekid, no problem but be careful when modifying the fstab file [08:23] ty icqnumber [08:24] jussi01: would it look as nice? or not work properly? [08:24] Dew420: and read the topic there howto use it [08:24] twisties: why dont you try it - its not too hard to uninstall after if you dont like it [08:24] swedekid, make sure you read it carefully, bad fstab can make a system unbootable [08:24] twisties: if you have all the kde support libs, every kde prog works just fine in gnome [08:24] guys, things are very slow with winxp and I had to install vmware too because I need linux too on this laptop. do you think I should dump winxp and move to ubuntu or stay with winxp with vmware on it? the bottom line is, will it be faster with ubuntu? [08:25] jussi01: good point but my issue of my Nvidia driver not working is annoying me at the moment [08:25] it's a celeron 1.6 [08:25] umm just ubuntu unbootable or as in it simply makes the computer unbootable as in I wouldn't be able to get into windows? [08:25] kartagis: yes, native is at least 2x as fast as virtual in vmware [08:25] Kartagis: just install ubuntu if u dont play games ;) [08:25] Kartagis: I switched from Vista to Ubuntu and haven't regretted it ever since. Fast, easy, reliable. [08:25] What do you need xp for, kartagis? === exsa_01 is now known as r_m [08:25] Kartagis: a single boot Linux is a good production system but it is not very fast. [08:25] swedekid, ubuntu === r_m is now known as r_m_21_ [08:26] Ok good not as worried then [08:26] Is there a support channel dedicated to Nvidia at all? [08:26] swedekid, can you paste the fdisk -l output here: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/ and give me the link [08:26] Kartagis: well, XP runnin slow could mean a lot of things. i would note that running VMware on hardy needs you to jump through some hoops [08:26] mark__: it's my work laptop and it came with windows [08:26] hai [08:26] Do you have to give it back? [08:26] geek: Ý' [08:27] mark__: at some point [08:27] yes but not soon [08:27] Then I wouldn't mess with it too much [08:27] anyone know how to get msn work on http on pidgin ? I can't [08:27] Or they'll get annoyed [08:27] Kartagis: VMware generally needs some changes to run on the latest kernels, and is currently behind the curve [08:27] Kartagis: oh, how much ram? [08:27] geek: I'm running vmware on windows, not ubuntu [08:28] geek: 1gb of ram [08:28] Uhh, can anyone help me? I don't know why but I don't have a device manager haha [08:28] Wuyanlin: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15266/ [08:28] Don't forget my Banshee problem, people ;) [08:29] heck, I'll install windows when it's time to give it back [08:29] Kartagis: enough ram then ;). [08:29] wek.. ubuntu is much better then windows [08:29] :D [08:29] geek: for virtualization never enough ram ;) [08:29] swedekid, which one you want to mount , the NTFs or the FAT? [08:29] True [08:29] magnetron: I installed the repositories. [08:29] m11: true but i did used to run a VMrig on 256 mb ;p [08:29] just tell me one thing then guys. does ubuntu have vnc viewer of any kind? [08:29] m11 ; not if they need an os for gaming, in which case xp kinda wins [08:30] anything windows can do ubuntu does better :) [08:30] Dew420: Wine works perfectly fine. [08:30] kdc1956: Amen [08:30] Yachaziel_ If you want half the fps [08:30] Wuyanlin: NTFS, FAT is the one that has the recovery files on it... I think [08:30] Dew420: wine yes [08:30] Can you deactivate the checkdisk at startup? [08:30] Dew420: On which games? I'm able to get at least as many FPS as on windows. [08:30] swedekid, ok , did you create a mount point? [08:31] Kartagis: yeah i think there's a few. [08:31] So far no games I have run in wine have been better or just as good as when run in xp [08:31] For some reason my Device Manager doesn't show up, does anyone know why? [08:31] im at the point where im editing the fstab file [08:31] dwew [08:31] does anyone have experience setting up multiple monitors? I'm trying to use Nvidia drivers to setup an external monitor, which sort of worked, but it keeps locking up the desktop environment. [08:31] okay, I'm moving [08:31] swedekid, better edit it with gedit than nano [08:31] Dew420: probably didnt config wine corectly [08:31] Catslacks: They won't be... they still haven't completely implemented DirectX 9 [08:31] Dew420: I play Silkroad Online, Guild Wars, and WoW on a private server and all are a good 50 FPS or higher, which is what I got on Vista and is damn good for my graphics. [08:31] `date`.jpg doesn't work [08:32] so sudo gedit /etc/fstab? [08:32] yes [08:32] ok [08:32] Kartagis: look up installin vmware on hardy first, or use a slightly older version like gutsy and upgrade later [08:32] it will save a LOT of hairpulling [08:32] Catslacks: Someone got DirectX 9 installed in wine ... then performance should be just as good... but I forget how, or even if it's still possible. [08:32] So the documentation tells you to look at the device manager even though it doesn't exist? [08:32] <[GUN]Wires> damn.. this channel never stops does it lol [08:32] Performance? What? I'm not sure what this has to do with DX9, sorry. I'm really new. [08:32] PolishPaul: do you have compiz running? I remember that compiz doesnt like dualhead [08:33] swedekid, you can paste the fstab in the pastebin after you are finis ,we can have a look [08:33] geek: if I'm moving to ubuntu, i don't need vmware [08:33] [GUN]Wires: nope... cuz not all 1400 people are in the same time zone... so for someone it's still prime IRC time. [08:33] Kartagis: ahh. vmware was for ubuntu? [08:33] jussi01, yeah... someone mentioned it already... Getting rid of compiz would suck... is there any other way? [08:33] geek: yes [08:33] Anyway. I downloaded Banshee from the Gnome Subversion repos. Then the page I'm following told me to" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr", which I did and got this [08:33] fde , waht time at your place now ? [08:33] bash: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory [08:33] m11: 12:33 [08:34] Kartagis: oh, then should be fine [08:34] PolishPaul: not that I know of - you have to choose, but try joining #compiz-fusion to ask also [08:34] m11: I should probably get to bed actually. [08:34] Why does having a device manager or not depend on directx? [08:34] fde: Night! =) [08:34] fde u done great job tonight from what i saw :) [08:34] hey guys i have nvraid questions but i dont think it will be hard i have most of i t figured out [08:34] jussi01, good idea [08:34] brb [08:34] !ask | wiiman119 [08:34] wiiman119: 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. :-) [08:34] anyone know of a good tutorial to use mysql with amarok? [08:34] m11: Thank you :) [08:35] Wuyanlin: heres what I get when I do gedit /etc/fstab http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15267/ I have no idea what to do now [08:35] PolishPaul: hope you get it sorted [08:35] Yachaziel_: and everyone else: Night :D [08:35] gn fde [08:35] Night [08:35] wait maybe I didn't make a mount point >.< [08:35] i have a nvraid setup with win xp i have been able to mount and read from it in ubuntu my question is if i partition it and install ubuntu will the boot loader work and where should it go [08:35] i wanted to start my virtual box today but it failed (yesterday it was running). [08:35] hi [08:36] how do i make the desktop cube work on ubuntu [08:36] is there something known?

[08:37] Yachaziel: you anxiously awaiting it too? ;) [08:37] tobago: what kernel you running? [08:37] i reinstalled the package virtualbox-ose-modules-generic and have the same issue.

[08:38] Yachaziel: and ubuntu mobile of course [08:38] Yachaziel: ubuntu netbook edition gets announced next week [08:38] tobago: your kernel is too new, it will not work [08:38] yes before I made the mount point do I need to do it again? [08:38] ethana2: Ubuntu mobile? I mean for mobile phones. [08:38] mokzu, downgrade the kernel? [08:39] no [08:39] Yachaziel: yes.

[08:40] good morning, I installed ubuntu 32 bit but realise i Need to install 64 to use my RAM [08:40] swedekid, ok add this line at the bottom of the fstab (which you opnned with sudo gedit): [08:40] /dev/sda1 /windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0 [08:40] Housefly7k: you'll need to re-install if you want 64bit now [08:40] I put my /home on a seperate partition, can you direct me to a guide to easily install ubuntu 64 [08:40] anyone know why when i right click it shows on the desktop behind whatever application I clicked in? [08:40] Housefly7k: My system only uses 10% of RAM. Resource usage is inefficient due to iso install method. [08:41] In fact, all menus show on the desktop instead of in the program [08:41] Housefly7k: hmm not sure about a guide but it should be easy... select manual partitioning, set the mount points of your / and /home partitions, and make sure you do not check format for /home [08:41] Housefly7k: how much ram do you have? [08:41] or do i just pop in the cd, point the / partition to the one i have installed now and let it do its thing...also what is the recommended swap size for a system with 4 gb of RAM? === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin [08:42] swedekid, just making sure -did you unmount before you started? [08:42] Can anyone answer this quickly? Am I not supposed to have a device manager because of DX9? [08:42] robg_: what is your sstem and what do you mean it usues 10% of ram....? so no matter what iso I use it wont make a difference? [08:42] Why is the Ubuntu version of Banshee so far behind? [08:42] Umm.....nope..... said it couldn't mount so I assumed it wasn't necesary [08:42] Can you deactivate the checkdisk at startup? if so how? [08:42] !bum | synt [08:42] synt: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [08:43] Housefly7k: donno, most people tend to recommend 1x or 2x as much as ram, but i think that breaks down at more than a gig... too much swap\s a waste [08:43] geek: 4GB [08:43] Housefy7k: Linux will probably never utilize all of your RAM. Your swap partition on disk will also probably never be used. [08:43] swedekid, go to places> computer and look under /media do you see SDA1 there? [08:43] Housefly7k: 32 bit systems can use 4 GB with no problem [08:43] geek: because currently i have 4gb of swap...whenever i open device manager its never used [08:43] anyone know how to get a channels.conf file in hardy? === _sarmisak_ is now known as sarmisal === sarmisal is now known as sarmisak [08:44] Housefly7k: the only reason to have more than a very small amount of swap with that much ram is if you want to hibernate [08:44] geek: how much ram 32bit system get detected when 4gb ram inside ? [08:44] or are all the irq handlers dispatched by a demon like ksoftirqd/0 under ubuntu ? [08:44] astro76, exactly. [08:44] is there a GUI for unrar? [08:44] I just had to use the command line and aptitude to update... Starting Administrative application and update manager and what not in the GUI doesn't work. [08:44] geek: in device manager it says 3.2 GB of RAM [08:44] Wuyanlin: all I see is my cd drive and something called filesystem [08:44] Is that 32 actual bits as in 1/8th of a byte? [08:44] Housefly7k, then you are running a 32bit versin? [08:44] oh wait its in filesystem just a second [08:44] Housefly7k: I'm running 32bit on 4GB, it only sees 3GB but I haven't found the need for 64bit, I think that's what some people are getting at here ;) [08:44] I couldn't get synaptic to even start [08:45] m11 / Housefly7k : i thought the 3 gigish gigs of ram detected thing only affected windows ;p [08:45] swedekid, i was wrong , i meant "file system" [08:45] Wuyanlin: Ok in media 2 folders called cdrom and cdrom0 in there with nothing in them [08:45] geek: nope, same limitation [08:45] ok [08:45] astro76, I wouldn't recommend 64bit, some packages dont work properly with 64bits [08:45] StevenX: in theory it integrates with file roller or arl i think [08:45] That sounds right, swede [08:45] I click "check" on update manager and nothing happens. [08:45] geek it is limitation of 32bit system, some show 3.2 some 3.5 , but u cant get 4 [08:45] swedekid, did you add that line to fstab? [08:45] astro76: thats something i didn't know ^^ [08:45] astro76: to tell you the truth I am not complaianing...this is a huge upgrade to my old system and am currently running compiz and all that at 12% [08:45] yes and then saved it [08:45] made my wife here today I got her lexmark x1270 working on ubuntu [08:46] mad [08:46] geek, you are correct i believe. thank you. [08:46] m11: wierd. 4 gb is the theoratical maximum for a 32 but system [08:46] Housefly7k: if you are new to linux... and might want to run closed proprietary software... you might stick with 32bit for now [08:46] Man I can't get anything working in ubuntu haha [08:46] Some update over the last few days has axed update manager and such. It worked before. [08:46] Are there any advantages to running 32 bit over 64? even if it means not having full 4gb [08:46] geek: yes if u used onboard card with 768mb shared ram and 3.2gb for real ram :P [08:46] what happened Catslacks [08:46] swedekid, you need to add it to the bottom of the file and then save [08:47] catslacks why [08:47] crtl+ [08:47] ctrl+S [08:47] m11: on board cards can support that much? o0 [08:47] Catslacks: define anything ? [08:47] Housefly7k, if you are running a server yes [08:47] i have a nvraid setup with win xp i have been able to mount and read from it in ubuntu my question is if i partition it and install ubuntu will the boot loader work and where should it go [08:47] Housefly7k: the only problem people have with 64bit is generally when needing to run closed-source software compiled for 32bits [08:47] Well right now I just want my wireless to work and then I can go from there. Right now I'm having to restart between vista and ubuntu constantly. [08:47] geek probably no :P but i think it can up to 512 [08:47] Housefly7k, but for desktop I wouldn't recommend [08:47] Anyways, I guess I am the only person who is having problems with "update". [08:47] I'm having problems with it too swansk [08:48] Catslacks: i told you 1h u wont make any progres from windows to fix ubuntu [08:48] can't find checkdisk in bum Yachaziel. [08:48] mark_ I am not surprised. [08:48] Catslacks: either use ndiswrapper and win drivers or patch lan cable to ubuntu box until u fix wlan [08:48] synt: Use boot up commands to disable it. [08:48] how do i update a specific program? [08:48] Wuyanlin: I added it like you told me to and this is whats in it http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15273/ [08:48] commandline aptitude works fine [08:48] I can't update banshee [08:48] Housefly7k: I'm not sure what the status of flash and java is with 64bit, but they are common ones people run into problems with [08:48] well I added it earlier [08:48] delete windows use ubuntu only [08:48] theFatMan: sudo get-apt update [08:48] Well thanks for all the help guys, have a goodnight/morning [08:48] swedekid, save it with ctrl+s [08:48] Oh wait. That's because Ubuntu still has the 0.13 version in the repos [08:49] astro76: flash and java both works ok here on x64 [08:49] I don't know how to use ndiswrapper, and ubuntu won't let me open my other HDD or optical drives to get anything on it [08:49] swedekid, mount it with this command : sudo mount -a [08:49] m11: how about wine? [08:49] astro76, flash works but there is a major bug with flash plugin [08:49] Catslacks: only choice then lan cable [08:49] astro76: runing photoshop [08:49] swedekid, then you should be ale tosee it ina directory caled windows [08:49] Guess I can't use ubuntu then, haha [08:49] My update manager said there were three updates to gnome. I had to copy their names down and type them into the command line to get them to update. It took no time at all for them to update. Why update manager stalls I don't know. [08:49] Oh well [08:50] Catslacks: read on google about ndiswrapper if u want easy fix [08:50] I have been, but I guess I just don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing. === sarmisak_ is now known as sarmisak [08:51] Catslacks: install ndiswrapper , patch windows driver [08:51] Wuyanlin: ok I'm in filesystem and theres not a folder called windows, I checked computer and it's not their either [08:51] Yachaziel, the bootup commands are found in what file? [08:51] synt: One moment [08:51] swedekid, maybe in your home folder? [08:51] get this....I try to start synaptic....it says "starting admin" at the bottom then after a bit it disappears. Nothing happened. Synaptic never opened. This is a serious bug. [08:52] swedekid, did you get any errors when you ran sudo mount -a? [08:52] swansk: Linux works on magic. Is the moon right in your area? [08:52] nope and its not there [08:52] Funny haha...it worked before. [08:52] well, like I said, I can't get to the router and ubuntu won't let me access my other HDD or optical drives. [08:52] No one really understands how linux works. 0.o We just accept it. [08:53] swansk: Did you try rebooting? [08:53] yeah, didn't fix it. [08:53] wait i just redid it and got an failed tomount error just a second gonna put it in pastebin [08:53] Catslacks: u have cd rom ? think a little [08:53] Connected to the interwebz? [08:53] What do you mean "think a little."? [08:53] Anyways, I am going to have to update package by package manually until they fix it. [08:53] swansk: Works fine for me. [08:54] Wuyanlin: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/15275/ [08:54] It worked great for me too....not anymore. [08:54] Catslacks: download ndiswrapper.deb, and extract windows wlan drivers , transfer them to CD and put in ubuntu [08:54] I had to turn off windows by holding down the power button is that what the unclean shutdown means? [08:54] I have to go. Hopefully it will work later. [08:54] Ubuntu won't let me access my optical drives. I just said that. [08:55] Catslacks: u have any other option ? floppy , usb , zip drive , tape recorder [08:55] it won't let me access anything [08:55] it just says CANNOT MOUNT [08:55] Catslacks: u on livecd ? [08:55] anyone know why flv files are streaming really poorly? new to ubuntu, just got hardy today [08:55] No [08:55] hey guys no one ever answered my question and i feel rude to just keep reposting it did you guys see it or no one can help?

[08:56] I tried, it won't [08:56] Catslacks: then is not ubuntu problem u have other problems [08:56] fatman, i have flash installed. youtube works fine, websites like spankwire not so fine [08:56] * synt rips his hair in lack of knowlege. [08:56] ok guess ill have to mess around and find out thank you guys anyway [08:56] wiiman119, just carry out the instructions in your paste [08:57] d0nkeh: Youtube works fine? [08:57] Such as? Everything works fine in Vista. And Ubuntu was letting me access my other HDD but then suddenly just stopped. [08:57] d0nkeh, restricted flash, non-free? [08:57] Yay! Done it [08:57] swedekid, mmm...i'm not sure . tell you what i suggest save all the document , your fstab ,fdis l output and mount-a output in a file that you email to yourself. reboot the computer, if it doesn't work - post a question in the ubuntu forum. i believe it should work after reboot [08:57] nah, i got the free plugin that you see when you first try to watch a flash video and its not installed [08:57] Catslacks: LIVECD must let you mount any drive if they are OK [08:57] d0nkeh: Go to Package manager and download and install flash from there. [08:58] swedekid, what you need is fstab, sudo fdisk -l and mount -a . save those files/outputs and reboot. [08:58] damn [08:58] well they just say CANNOT MOUNT. And I don't have any problems with them in Vista. And they were working in Ubuntu before but then stopped randomly. So??? [08:58] swedekid, i need to go now..good luck [08:58] d0nkeh: Applications>Add/Remove... Type in "flash", hit enter, check the first option, choose accept, enter password, accept, you're good to go. [08:58] Catslacks: i repeat again , put LIVECD and test [08:58] yachaziel, trying that now, thanks [08:59] I did that though? [08:59] d0nkeh: My pleasure. [08:59] if it dont let you mount from livecd problem is in vista drive, not ubuntu imo [08:59] Looks like you can't play .mov files in banshee [08:59] swedekid: fix your problem?

Failsafe also fails, but I happen to have a fluxbox session, and that does not fail [09:12] Hi, I have added a mount option to a usb stick (through the gui) and now the usb stick doesn't mount anymore. How can I reset this? [09:13] Hi, I have an nvidia Geforce 8400m gts. It seems that when I install xserver-xgl package, I get a much better compiz-performance. [09:13] Balachmar: Plug it in. It does not show up on the desktop? [09:13] @Yachaziel: No, it does show up in system, but I cannot click on it, because of the mount failure [09:14] But when I install xserver-xgl, there things that don't work (like gnome-power-management to turn of my screen) [09:14] Balachmar: Use sudo mount ~/usb [09:14] anyone knows how to increase compiz-performance without installing xserver-xgl? [09:15] henne_: 1) Buy a better graphics card. 2) Install said graphics card. [09:15] @Yachaziel: mount: can't find /home/wligtenb/usb in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [09:15] What is the name of the usb stick? [09:16] Yachaziel: yes I preferred an intel, which has open source drivers, but they didn't have it for dell xps m1530 in my country. But it seems that my graphics card can do better (with xserver-xgl). [09:17] henne_: I am sorry to hear that. =( One moment... [09:17] you're actually using a fairly good graphics card... search synaptic for 'nvidia' [09:17] I don't know, you might find something in there [09:18] Yes, I too think that will work. =) [09:18] 1.0 GB media [09:19] At least that is how it sows up in places in the file browser [09:19] balacmar: You can see it in a directory? [09:21] henne_: which glx package did you install under synaptic? [09:21] Balachmar: cd to the directory in which it is in, then use sudo ~/(name of stick, if there is a space use ~/here\ is\ a\ space) [09:21] no, if you open a filebrowser. There is a sidebar on the left. And that is where I see the usb disk. However I cannot mount it because of the illegal mount options.

There are no reason to maintain that design today with computer keyboards beside everyone use it so it's hard to change world wide habits :) [09:48] geek: lol =P [09:48] sudo should be used ONLY where needed [09:48] Yachaziel: until someone decides to pull you out of the %wheel group [09:48] leagris: I realize this.

[09:50] coz you know that linux eyecandy totaly cant run on other operating systems like BSD... [09:50] lol [09:50] (regardless of whether you call it a "joke" or not.) [09:50] eth01: Do you think someone would really take my comment seriously? [09:50] (that was a joke, false statement btw) [09:50] henne_: dang. I was afraid of that cause the 'new' package says its for the new chipsets. Glad you at least knew how to change it back [09:50] Yachaziel: it does not matter. and this is now becoming off-topic.

I had ti remove these packages and install from the nvidia downloaded installer. Not fun and not clean. Don't know why the Ubuntu 8.10LTS version don't work with that card. [09:53] geek:; They get old anyway. =P [09:53] EugenMayer: cause fdisk is a more advanced partitioning tool ? (im actualy clueless to the real reason why) [09:53] Yachaziel: they don't for me ;p [09:54] Lol [09:54] EugenMayer: why not just create it all from fdisk, write the partition table and just install onto the partitions you already made and formated with mkfs.ext3 [09:54] and mkswap [09:54] :) [09:55] sluxor: ouch. goodbye data? [09:56] !lamp | Kartagis [09:56] how can I uninstall without uninstalling its dependencies in order to re-install a previous of ? [09:56] ah, i feel like a 10 year old boy that just got a brand new toy :D [09:57] sluxor: good question. The only answer for that is: I used fdisk to delete all old gentoo partitions, though i did not create a new one. But even if i would create one, how should i tell ubuntu to install on it, when iam not able to select it [09:57] Where does LVM store its top-level info about the contents of the volume group? [09:57] hye guys... [09:57] i have a big problem with my Ubuntu...

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [09:58] Kartagis: it should do [09:59] did anybody know how to setup my usb tv card/box on ubuntu? [09:59] sluxor: when i use the "check partition table" function in fdisk, i get that partition 1 and 3 are overlapping ( crossing ) [09:59] beyta: what device is it? [09:59] beyta: like the model, the manufacturer, etc [09:59] EugenMayer: Well thats beyond me... sorry mate [09:59] :S [10:00] <[GUN]Wires> are there any C debuggers in the repos?

When I try to use lvm tools I get messages like-- No program "lvscan" found for your current version of LVM [10:06] how to i check what version of xubuntu i am using?

[10:12] doh .. i see the problem. [10:12] kibibyte: Since you are running from the CD you cannot unmount the CD to burn another CD. [10:12] gordonjcp: I believe he is running from the livecd. [10:12] anyone? [10:12] ah [10:12] I turned all of the drive /dev/hda into an LVM physical volume.

[10:41] amikrop: Definately. What sort of VR are you looking for? [10:41] Kartagis: do the following last two things: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [10:41] Kartagis: Then add this option at the very bottom [10:41] Code: options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo [10:41] Flannel: Let's say, something like Quicktime VR. [10:41] i've put some screenshots in this forum thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801493 [10:42] Kartagis: I have a similar sound card, and that fixes it for me. [10:42] aha, i didn't see that [10:42] thanks [10:43] amikrop: I'm not sure about that. That would depend on whether apple decided to write it for linux. Or at least, I'm assuming Quicktime VB is a quicktime thing, as opposed to just a protocol/whatever thing [10:43] how can I change my login screen? [10:43] except I don't use that same line at the bottom. When you're done editing alsa-base, log out then back in [10:43] how can i get grub to list its device map?

I have 3 drives, two SATA and one IDE. The IDE is /dev/hda and hd0 and is also by default the first boot drive for the BIOS. If I try to install grub to one of the SATA drives and set boot priority to favour that drive, grub fails [10:49] there [10:49] So, I've mounted my boot partition in home and done this....

I'm having problems with the built in microphone on my laptop. When recording from it, nothing is picked up. Just distortion. This doesn't seem to be isolated to the integrated microphone.

[10:57] I have Heron on an USB stick, to install from. Can I add some script to the stick, that will run after installation, automatically ? I want to do some adjustments, like remove packages etc, [10:57] thanks robg_ [10:58] yeah it seems to be a problem.. the joystick configuration program struggled with the d-pad too [10:58] dang. [10:58] magnetron: hey i have another question while this installs. I have an openssh server on another linux machine. How do i connect to that computer's cli? [10:59] well, at least you know how to install a 32 bit program now, LordyFlashy [10:59] hi, just looking for someone who might be able to help me out with a usb/permissions problem since upgrading to 8.04 [10:59] yeah [10:59] nitricacid: ssh that-computer-ip [10:59] !anyone MAt1 [10:59] Factoid anyone mat1 not found [10:59] how did you find out the dependancies? [10:59] just download the .deb, and use the --force-architecture [10:59] !anyone | mat1 [10:59] mat1: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [10:59] nitricacid: use the ssh command. "ssh username@ip-adress-of-server" [10:59] socr, how did you get Heron on a USB stick? [10:59] LordyFlashy: those dependencies are actually 32 bit libraries. They're for running any 32 bit program in 64 bit ubuntu. I originally found them while attempting to install skype. [11:00] I have other joysticks anyhow, just have to get them and hook them up [11:00] VSpike: Do you have a separate partition for /boot? or is it just inside your /? [11:00] ahh so now they're in, I dont have to mess with that? [11:00] socr, i tried but my computer just hanged [11:00] Flannel: separate partition [11:00] mess with what?

[11:01] VSpike: and we're just trying to fix stage1, right? once we get to stage 2, we're good? [11:01] Mat1: Sudo mount [11:01] yeh....but thats a temporary fix [11:02] Flannel: afaik [11:02] LordyFlashy: dpkg usually resolves dependencies automagically like synaptic. The ia32-libs just allows you to use --force-architecture [11:02] cool [11:02] thanks :D [11:02] there appears to be some sort of permission problem, alot of admin/management settings are blanked out [11:02] magnetron: once again your the man [11:02] i cannot seem to alter them as well [11:02] bedtime. I am off now. [11:03] Mat1: Huh, that's odd. [11:03] yep....problems started as soon as i upgraded to hardy [11:03] really wierd [11:03] problem* [11:03] otherwise its awesome [11:03] Mat1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[11:14] I killed him and now my network works, so I want to deactrivate the network manager [11:14] foobarasd: if you disable roaming mode you are disabling network manager. i think i made that clear [11:14] gooody: No idea. [11:14] erUSUL, no [11:14] When I disable roaming mode, the network manager application is still runinng [11:14] socr, ah [11:15] Rabbitbunny: thanks anyway for the reply.

It didn't even have a function to search for wireless networks.. [11:16] I do want other packages in the recommended repo, just not kernel updates, due to modules specific for this hardware being only for the original Hardy kernel [11:16] does anyone know if it is normal that logrotate reports 'Re-opening all log files' every day by mail?

[11:20] erUSUL, where is the function to search for wireless networks ? im using ubuntu 7.10 [11:20] Flannel: When I do the find command, it does suggest that the drive map has changed [11:20] Hi, I want to install ubuntu FIRST then Windows XP how do i go about doing that. I tried it once and then XP took over and didn't even give me the choice of booting into Ubuntu. [11:20] foobarasd: comman line? "sudo iwconfig wlan0 scan" [11:21] Flannel: because hd1 appears to have become hd0 [11:21] Shervin: you really should do it the other way around [11:21] shervin: i see no way [11:21] erUSUL, okay, found it [11:21] iwlist [11:21] Shervin: both OSes will attempt to establish dominance over your harddrive. [11:21] So how can I uninstall the network manager? [11:21] Flannel: I'm in the terminal now (fired up another machine to make this easier) [11:22] ersul: Is there a way where i can install ubuntu first? [11:22] erUSUL, foobarasd i dunno if im missing something, but if i go to wireless networks -> properties, i get a dropdown which offers me a choice of wireless networks to connect to... doesn't it already search for networks that way implicitly? [11:22] hello [11:22] OR at least i've heard of trying to put grub back into action [11:22] MPlayer before each launch tries to open soket and download LIRC. Failed to open LIRC support and then everything is work true, how to disable the download? [11:22] thats what i was told by someone today [11:22] Flannel: it appears to have a file system, in that if I do kernel / i get some vmlinuz and initrd files [11:22] Anybody can help me change file views of desktop as icons not as thumbnails. [11:24] Sinnerman: yes it does i never said otherwise [11:24] I want apt to never update the kernel, or it's modules. How would I do that? [11:25] erUSUL: oh well, i kinda missed the first part of foobarasd's question. i guess that kinda solves it? [11:25] Is there a way to 'easily' make md5 checksums of a whole directory with tree, and compare it after to a backup ? [11:26] Hi. My CPU temperature sometimes goes up to 95 degrees Celsius. When I run the `top` command, I see that fusesmb.cache uses 97% of the CPU. I tried ti `killall -9 fusesmb.cache` but it always comes back. Does anyone know how I can get rid of this?

I suppose you could always do a find ./ | md5sum or something like that [11:28] tdawgedogg, or #amarok [11:29] StealthCP, there is a way to tell apt to hold said package [11:29] Is it possible that my BIOS remaps grub devices at boot time and then puts them back again once booted? [11:29] manifest: Finish. ckech wikipedia [11:29] It seems that changing my boot priority changes the device map, but grub can't seem to see it one the system is booted [11:30] I guess I just manually edit /boot/grub/device.map ? [11:30] Slart I did, but I am not sure it will do it for the whole tree like that [11:31] StealthCP, echo "kernel-image hold" | dpkg --set-selections where kernel-image is the package you wish to hold [11:34] HiTo: this seems to work... find . -type f -exec md5sum {} \; >checksum.md5 [11:34] was linus torvalds finnish or estonian? [11:34] How can I disable LIRC support in MPlayer? [11:35] HiTo: it will create a file checksum.md5 with the checksums of all the files in the directory.. and any directories under it.. use md5sum -c checksum.md5 to check it later [11:35] can i easily uninstall installed deb packages? [11:35] are there any repositories required to sudo-apt get ndiswrapper? [11:35] manifest__: google didn't know that? [11:35] umm [11:35] :) [11:35] manifest__: yes.. go sit in the corner... no dessert for you ;) [11:36] !info ndiswrapper [11:36] :FFF [11:36] Package ndiswrapper does not exist in hardy [11:36] !info ndiswrapper-common [11:36] ndiswrapper-common (source: ndiswrapper): Common scripts required to use the utilities for ndiswrapper.

[11:37] what is the program for locking the screen in Ubuntu 8.04 called/named? [11:37] microwaver: ah.. I don't know where it is in 7.10.. try apt-cache search ndiswrapper and see what you get [11:37] Slart, thanks. i'll lok further into it, it's just i'm following this guide : http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/Wireless/Truemobile_ndiswrapper [11:37] Does anyone know where i can find kick-ass linux wallpapers?

[11:38] Ok, thx guys =) [11:38] Boxxxer, you mean when u type ctrl + alt + l? [11:38] yes [11:38] Jokka: I found nice photos via Google Images [11:38] Boxxxer: gnome-screensaver does it. [11:38] Slart I will try that so, thanks... files to check are on FreeBSD and original data is on Ubuntu [11:38] robg_ yeah.. but those kinda suck =) [11:38] so gnome-screensaver has this built in? [11:38] microwaver: it looks ok.. but I haven't messed with ndiswrapper so I might miss something obvious [11:39] Jokka, www.deviantart.com [11:39] Boxxxer: yes [11:39] Jokka: travel companies have nice landscape photos. [11:39] i see [11:39] thanks [11:39] HiTo: shouldn't be a problem.. if the md5sum software can talk to eachother [11:39] robg_ i want something that connects to linux [11:39] microwaver, thx [11:40] Jokka: Google image search is the gateway to images. [11:40] robg_ as i said, i don tlike em. ive been searching for the ultimate wallpaper for ages [11:40] Slart i hope so, and yes the command seems to work fine, thanks [11:40] eepro100 is seen to load using lsmod however the hardware is not available in ifconfig. [11:41] HiTo: you're welcome [11:41] robg_ http://img186.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot3mo8.png is what i got now [11:41] Jokka: I have 50 landscape photos on a CD and on file. I change to another photo every day. [11:41] anyone had much experiance with loading ethernet modules? === u^A_ is now known as u^A [11:42] I don't get it - when I start grub, it does stage 1.5 and drops me into a terminal... [11:43] If at that point I do "configfile /grub/menu.lst" everything works from there [11:43] So why will it not do that step automatically? [11:43] Maybe there isn't a way to detect which original file that the target of a hard link was? [11:44] hey guys, i have a problem with pidgin... it resets my connection to icq... msn connection works properly, though... it shows "Lost connection with server, connection reset by peer." when i try to re-enable it, it shows "incorrect password"... but i have saved the pass before :( [11:44] pavel_: actually I just saw the same thing, maybe there is an ICQ fault [11:44] how do i check whether burnt cd is correct or not ? [11:45] ok, thanks, im glad the fault is not on my side :) [11:45] !md5sum [11:45] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [11:45] gad0: is there a data verification setting when u burn the cd [11:45] question, does anyone know a place to ask questions about Webmin? [11:45] tdawgedogg: yes it was but had it unchecked while burning cd [11:46] jimmio: it isn't included in ubuntu's repos anymore.. see !webmin . Someone here might still know a thing or two about it though [11:46] do i need to re-configure kernel for sound? [11:47] if i may venture to ask, why does nautilus in gutsy take so long to load at log-on, that is, about 10-15 seconds, and is there a way to make it load faster? [11:47] gad0: well just to be safe i would reburn it with data verification....i have had lots of coasters with certain brands of discs [11:47] whats the exact command for doing md5sum or checksum on CD ? [11:47] tdawgedogg: already done that [11:47] hey,, hmm i jsut switched to Fluxbox... which filemanager besides nautilus am I able to use here? [11:48] thunar [11:48] thunar is in xfce [11:48] Well, the issue I have with Webmin is it not recognizing Apache is running... and not being able to start it. Really odd... [11:48] i am trying to get the gecko-mediaplayer for streaming in ff3, does anyone know if it matters weather i get mplayer of gnome-mplayer for it? [11:48] ya but it works well... tyberion you can install thunar [11:48] xthanks buddys [11:48] Can anyone help in setting up a VNC connection to a OS X Tiger box from Ubuntu 8.04 over an established VPN connection?

[12:00] Hello, all. Anyone interested in helping me troubleshoot a Hardy specific cups printing problem? [12:00] whats the difference between gnome-mplayer and mplayer [12:01] hey all, i've installed ubuntu and using eth1 for internet to get all the updates. Now, I need the eth1 to face the network for the thin-client. What things do I need to do? anyone got references to a link? [12:01] Chrysalis: try them both and see?

Version 0.6.0-0ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 107 kB, installed size 476 kB [12:01] Hi, Chrysalis - I'm not entirely sure but I believe mplayer is strictly CLI whereas gnome-mplayer probably sticks a gtk based GUI front end on the mplayer backend. [12:01] how can i disable lirc in MPlayer& [12:02] zaputr: with the -nolirc option [12:02] jrib: thats sorta obvious, isnt it? the reason why i ask is so i DONT have to do that [12:02] !sound [12:02] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[12:04] I get a screen with the backgroundimage, a mousepointer and nothing happens for at least 15 minute [12:04] s [12:04] elTigre: does failsafe mode work (session option at login)? [12:04] no [12:04] hey all, i've installed ubuntu and using eth1 for internet to get all the updates. Now, I need the eth1 to face the network for the thin-client. What things do I need to do? anyone got references to a link? [12:05] elTigre: can you login at a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F2)? [12:05] only kde4 works currently. I have installed kubuntu... but now I'd like to switch over [12:05] set static ip to eth1 and setup dhcp? [12:05] yes [12:05] er [12:06] elTigre: have you fully installed ubuntu-desktop and all dependencies? [12:06] that I can't say [12:06] I did try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop though [12:07] elTigre: redo the command in the text console and see if it reports any errors. If it does, try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' and 'sudo apt-get -f install' [12:08] hello im having trouble trying to Navigate to my ATI drivers to install them in the Terminal [12:08] cj_: you shouldn't do that. Install ATI drivers via System-Administration-Hardware Drivers [12:09] anyone know how to upgrade your initrd to load a different module? [12:09] soundray: doesn't change anything [12:09] all packages configure nicely, just as before [12:10] hello again [12:10] koshari: generally, you reference the module in /etc/initramfs, then run sudo update-initramfs [12:10] can you please help me find the source code of gnome-screensaver? [12:10] i did some google searches but no luck [12:10] elTigre: look at ~/.xsession-errors to see if any problems are reported in there [12:11] i am using full disc encryption with hardy. however since i have separate partitions for / swap and tmp i have to enter the password multiple times - which is kinda annoying. is there a way to tell the script to use the password entered on all luks partitions? [12:11] ok i keep getting a message New Restricted drivers in use [12:11] !source | Boxxxer [12:11] Boxxxer: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [12:11] cj_: so you already have the latest ATI driver for your system [12:11] soundray: I have to restart for that [12:12] : it's strange, it doesn't solve my broblem , before each running of file MPlayer opens then 13 seconds waits and only after 13 seconds normally run my file, log of Mplayer is here http://paste.org.ru/?lp4lvo , may be you know how to solve this problem [12:12] elTigre: no -- why? [12:12] elTigre: are you in Windows? [12:12] so its working properly then? [12:12] or at least restart the X Session [12:12] no, Kde4 [12:12] and KDE works kinda [12:13] elTigre: I see, that would have overwritten the error log [12:13] there aren't any errors in the xsession thing, so I have to look at the gnome generated one [12:14] cj_: probably. Do a 'glxgears' and check the framerate that it displays [12:14] soundray si i add the module to the modules file in initfs and then run the update? [12:14] cj_: or glxinfo [12:14] E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list [12:14] koshari: that's generally how you do it, yes [12:14] darn [12:14] can oyu help me out here? [12:15] Boxxxer: you need deb-src lines in addition to the deb lines you have [12:15] Boxxxer: System-Admin-Software Sources -- Source code [12:15] oh [12:15] ok [12:15] soundray and it will then not load the previously default module? [12:15] Boxxxer: soundra's way is better [12:15] Boxxxer: that will create the necessary lines that jrib refers to [12:16] Why when I'm in the grub shell do I have /boot/grub/device.map and /grub/device.map ? [12:16] ok i did that what am i looking for to see if it is working right? [12:16] koshari: I've only given you generic advice. You haven't told me any specifics of your problem. [12:16] trying now ;) [12:16] In fact generally I seem to have /... and /boot/... but they are not the same files [12:16] cj_: what's the framerate [12:16] hello, how can I divide string in python into splits by spaces ? [12:17] yup yup yup, it's working ;) [12:17] sorry a little new to this where do i find that i see alot of numbers [12:17] thanks [12:17] exot: try #python [12:17] or RTFM :/ [12:17] cj_: sorry to confuse you. What's the framerate from glxgears? [12:17] anone ever tried to transport a full hd output from a ubuntu pc to a full hd tv? === udk is now known as UdontKnow [12:17] soundray sorry, basicly my prob is i need eepro100 for my networking but even with e100 in the balacklist its seen to be loading with dmesg obviousely earlier than the modules blacklist cuts in therefore whan eepro100 loads it wont work until i do rmmod and then modprobe [12:17] soundray: no valuable information there.... [12:18] soundray: two errors about another gpg-client/ssh-client already running ... other than that nada [12:18] what's the different between synaptic and add/remove programs? [12:18] 27090 Frames in 5.0 sec [12:19] elTigre: you've never logged into gnome on this machine, correct? [12:19] = 5417 FPS [12:19] new2linux synaptoc is a lot more comprehensive [12:19] I have [12:19] new2linux_: add/remove programs is just organised differently - both use the same underlying package management [12:19] but thats two months ago [12:19] koshari: but those 2 programs function almost the same right? [12:20] new2linux: contrary to windows, linux works with one installer called package manager. [12:20] new2linux yes , however i dont know that add programs allows you to edit sources ect. [12:20] is there a way to force reinstallation of gnome? [12:20] Does this look reasonable for a two gig quota with 4k block sizes? sudo setquota -u username 400000 500000 8000 8192 -a [12:21] elTigre in synaptic you could do completely remove, install [12:21] cj_: that's awesome :) your driver is working [12:21] has anyone used xvidcap on ubuntu? it crashes for me when doing audio [12:21] elTigre: I don't recommend that [12:21] mrynit: known bug, chek launchpad. one solution is to build xvidcap from svn. [12:21] sweet thanks [12:21] elTigre: we need to do more diagnostics, otherwise you'll end up with the same problem. [12:21] rsk: oh fun... [12:22] yea :F [12:22] elTigre: I suggest you create a new user for testing, and see if gnome works when you log in as that [12:22] or switch audio codec might work [12:22] i used the eth1 for internet, now i need to change it to face the network for the thin-client? what things should i do to change the network? anyone has a link to this task? [12:22] ok... [12:22] i use recodMyDesktop and it works better on my P3 [12:22] mrynit have you tried recordmydesktop, i found it pretty stable [12:22] koshari: yeah but no audio. [12:22] elTigre: is this a gutsy system? [12:23] Hardy Heron [12:23] now if i could only get wine to run guild wars right id be set but i think i need to go to wine for that though [12:23] elTigre: so you installed the beta? Or did you upgrade from gutsy? [12:23] yes [12:23] cj_, Try forcing it to run in OpenGL mode. [12:23] koshari: the sound recording device is DEFAULT. im usign a usb mic. i dont know how to point it to the right audio input [12:23] elTigre: coffee or tea? Yes please. === kranny is now known as k33qk [12:24] if i may venture to ask, why does nautilus in gutsy take so long to load at log-on, that is, about 10-15 seconds, and is there a way to make it load faster? [12:24] Though I believe Heron was released recently [12:24] hello [12:24] elTigre: you said you logged into gnome months ago. Hardy has been out for 5 weeks only [12:25] hi everyone [12:25] need some help plz [12:25] upgrade memory will make gutsy faster ..and remove unnecessary service .. [12:25] well yes, but that was guts [12:25] y [12:25] abdulla:what?

[12:28] I tried KDE 4.0.4 with the kubuntu packages, but it is a complete failure. can someone help me ? [12:28] isn't there a way to mae it 100% compatible? [12:29] abdulla, 100% compatability will require Microsoft to play nice. [12:29] my fluxbox menu no longer has a styles directory, how do i get it back?! [12:29] abdulla: i have yet to have problems with it [12:29] abdulla: it will happen gradually, now that Microsoft have opened the specs to the ppt format. But it's hard work. [12:29] Emry :weel said [12:29] well said [12:29] They made PPT open? [12:29] aha i see [12:29] i thought OO.o was on ver 2.4 [12:29] Emry: yes [12:29] That is impressive. [12:29] Could someone recommend a book or similar about setting up a it infra structure for a small buisness? Basic stuff and what you should think about with users and storage etc. All in linux of course. [12:30] soundray, Is it open, or is it open with closed bits like their first attempt at an OXML? [12:30] Emry: it's still not a Free/libre format. There are strings attached [12:30] so i cant install ubuntu for my momslaptop [12:30] I try finding stuff on google etc, but my terminology limits me to bad results :) [12:30] abdulla:u can find pptview[linuxappfinder.com] built with wine at Ubuntu multiverse.

BUT if the documents are available for people to produce libs, then those libs may not be free but they will work. hehehe [12:30] abdulla: my parents are both on Ubuntu (non-technical) [12:31] abdulla: occasionally I have to give telephone support [12:31] abdulla, What are your requirements? [12:31] the problem is that the other computers in her work use winblows [12:31] having a problem connecting to web server via ftp. After server requests password ftp seems to hang [12:31] is there a way i can find out what computers are on the network i'm connected to? [12:31] leo|lap: basically client - server configurations. [12:31] abdulla:try pptview [12:31] basicly robg_ [12:31] wht is that [12:31] abdulla, Often times, unless you are a techy, it is better for your laptop to support whatever you use at work. Your home machine however is another story all together. hehhee:P [12:31] pptview? [12:32] iam a total noob [12:32] maybe not the specific configuration, but what to use and why [12:32] for example to share files, enable remote log on etc [12:32] anyone had that problem before? (with ftp) [12:32] leo|lap: you decide whether you want to run an inhouse server or whether you want to use online services. [12:32] abdulla: you shouldn't put your mother on Ubuntu, unless she has access to people who know it well and will help her in case of problems. [12:32] here's my problem:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=809626 [12:33] any help plz?

[12:33] arent there any opensource programs thaat can open any powerpoint presentation? [12:33] abdulla, If the machine is currentluy running windows, and she uses windows at work, and she is comfortable with windows, then it is ok to leave her with window.s :P [12:33] abdulla: no [12:33] Ok, go to your run line, run box, whatever, and tell it to run winecfg. [12:34] abdulla, openoffice [12:34] abdulla: as I was telling you, ppt was a closed, secret format until very recently [12:34] abdulla, essentially all ppt's will open in openoffice impress [12:34] abdulla: From what they are saying, ppt will start getting better! hehe [12:34] Dr_willis: my parent support load has decreased thanks to Ubuntu [12:34] is the server install the same as the desktop with just more stuff and support ? [12:34] abdulla, IS there a reason you want to put Ubuntu on her laptop? [12:34] abdulla: openoffice.org [12:34] Ogma: less [12:34] Ogma: no [12:34] soundray, sure cuts down on the viruses they managet to get. [12:35] Hi :) [12:35] Ogma: desktop is 700 Mb, server is 535 Mb. [12:35] can i start with a server install CD and get the desktop stuff or equal too ? [12:35] ok in wine cfg [12:35] Ogma: yes [12:35] Ogma: sure [12:35] ofcourse there is a reason i want to put ubuntu on her laptop [12:35] lol [12:35] Ogma, you can.. but it can be an annoyance. [12:35] cj_: there is no wine config anymore [12:35] i seee [12:36] Has anyone solved installation of Terminus in Hardy? libg++2.8.1.3-glibc2.2 isn't available anymore. libstdc++.so.2.8 is necessary for this game [12:36] because i oftenly use her laptop alot [12:36] I'm connected to work over a vpn, but I can't get access to any of the machines via VNC - they're macs and I can connect to them when i'm in the office using the built in screen sharing software, but not from home using Remote Desktop Viewer - is there a reason for this? [12:36] and i cant stand using windows [12:36] damn it like 3 more hours to download the desktop cd then.. i got the server one =( [12:36] and she likes ubuntu [12:36] Ogma: the server install doesn't have any graphical interface. if you are going to use it as a desktop computer, get the desktop install. [12:36] 你好，大家好！ [12:36] abdulla: you can set it up for dual-booting, so both of you can choose to use Windows or Ubuntu at boot time. [12:36] davetarmac: can you ping them? [12:36] im in it Wine configuration [12:36] !zh | lxb [12:36] abdulla, you can use remote access to fix problems on your mom's comp..in case any arise after the switch to ubuntu [12:36] lxb: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:37] abdulla: default grub to windows [12:37] Frogzoo: no, I can't [12:37] yea [12:37] what do you mean thers no wine cfg [12:37] set the wait time to 3 to 5 seconds [12:37] davetarmac: well, there's your problem [12:37] i never thought of that [12:37] wait [12:37] soundray, given an options, moms will _never_ choose ubuntu...from personal experience :) [12:37] i tried doing that [12:37] cj_ win for games? [12:37] i got till the partioning part [12:37] wine* [12:37] then some problems [12:37] Cededa FTW =P [12:37] no root is defined [12:37] Frogzoo: I know, do you have any experience of VPN's that might prove helpful? [12:37] abdulla: please put more than one sentence on one line. [12:38] cj_, Let me bring it up. [12:38] ok iam a slow typer [12:38] anirudh0: that's right. And why would she learn a new OS, if the old one is good enough? [12:38] abdulla, ubuntu has no root...use sudo [12:38] here is my problem::http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=809626 [12:38] how to define a root? [12:38] !sudo | abdulla [12:38] Frogzoo: I can ping the server, but I have a feeling that it has the same IP as my router here [12:38] abdulla: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [12:38] soundray, because 1)old one is prone to viruses 2)old one is prone to random crashes...the lost goes on [12:38] anirudh0: he meens / [12:38] abdulla: set the mount point of the linux patition to "/" [12:38] cj_, What kind of graphic card do you have? [12:38] ok im sorry guys i only got ubuntu 4 hours ago i just got the latest version of wine so im not sure all you guys a talking about [12:39] *list [12:39] ATI 3600 [12:39] wait just tell me wht i do when i get to the partioning part? plz [12:39] ya the mount point [12:39] and what type? [12:39] soundray, in windows, if something behaves wierdly, you are never sure whether its a bug or a virus [12:40] or a "feature" [12:40] cj_, :/ let me see what I fan find. ATI doesn't leave a lot of promise for games under Linux because of their crappy support of the community. (Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong here. It has been a while since I personally saw a driver release for ATI). [12:40] abdulla, have you checked the install guides on wiki.ubuntu.com? [12:40] if I install with my ubuntu 7.10 CD i can upgrade to 8 whatever pretty easy right ..? don't have to download like another cd just the updater will do it for me right [12:40] i have to set two partions right? [12:40] how do i make gnome do start automatically at startup? [12:40] anirudh0: I know all the arguments, and I'm on your side -- it's just a matter of perceptions. Most people accept viruses as a fact of life, to the extent that they come here saying "why is there no virus checker in Ubuntu by default?" [12:40] frozenball o/ [12:40] no going to check them now [12:40] hello :o [12:40] Ogma: why not go for 8.04 straight away ? [12:40] dpreacher: make sure you have gdm installed [12:40] :o [12:40] soundray, ah..but there is..for ubuntu boxes that act as mail servers for other comps running windows [12:40] abdulla: you need to create two partitions; a "root" partition (probably best if you use ext3 filesystem) and a swap partition, using the swap filesystem [12:41] yeah i do soundray [12:41] cj_: have you tried the new binaries from ATI [12:41] id have to download the cd and allready downloaded the server 8.04 CD don't want to torrent a 3 hour download again [12:41] soundray, there is even a freeware version of avast...not that it is needed [12:41] IF i can just update etc.. [12:41] i did install gnome do too..but i have to set it to run at startup [12:41] No, anirudh0, there is no virus checker in Ubuntu *by default* [12:41] i did that but then when i click next it says i have to set a root [12:41] how do i do that? [12:41] the swap drive is the equivalent of pagefile.sys under windows, it's like a bit of hard drive used as virtual RAM [12:41] soundray, but with the new NULL pointer hack..that may change [12:41] cj_, mrynit : mrynit There are new binaries? cj_ If there are new binaries get them. [12:41] is there a reason that I can't ping machines when on their network via vpn? [12:42] dpreacher: you mean gdm is not starting up? Run 'sudo update-rc.d gdm defaults' to fix that [12:42] cj_: i have never run windows 3D games under wine but urban terror and nexubis fine [12:42] how do i set a /root? [12:42] Ogma: switch on your computer in the evening and go to bed. In the morning the stuff is there. [12:42] soundray, see this for instance..even a linux box is susceptible to this ...http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/18/0436232&from=rss [12:42] cj_, Ubuntu MIGHT have packages for them, depending on the licensing, but there is a a good chance you will have to go straight to the web site. [12:42] Emry: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html :S [12:42] abdulla: do you mean a root partition? [12:42] robg_ but the updater thingy WILL beable to update it to 8 whatever right ???? [12:42] ya [12:42] not gdm soundray i want the quicklauncher Gnome Do to autolaunch on gnome startup [12:42] do i set thee mount point to /root? [12:42] the new ubuntu is quite perfect!!! [12:43] ok i have that DL already [12:43] i did that and it still asks for a root, why? [12:43] dpreacher: then you should configure gdm for autologin (System-Admin-Login Window) [12:43] mrynit, Awesome. ;P Their semi-mellineal update. :P [12:43] but not sure what to do with it [12:43] cj_, Follow the install instructions. [12:43] Ogma: probably, but I always get the best and the latest stuff. [12:43] abdulla: you have to set the mount point to just / (only the slash) [12:43] soundray, have you used the app called startupmanager? [12:43] abdulla: you have to set the mount point of the partition [12:43] and thats it? [12:43] lol i tryed didnt understand them [12:43] where you can select which programs to start when you login [12:44] sorry robg_, i got distracted :) I don't know if we really talk about the same thing, as i said my termonology is quite poor [12:44] Seeker`: , fde: there is no problem with the graphics anymore :) It resolved after I installed 32-bit [12:44] it has nothing to do with auto-logging in the user [12:44] robg_ understand however don't have a cd burner or anything and ony have a 7.10 install CD or the server 8 CD from a friend [12:44] so the mout point of the ext3 partion is / [12:44] i just wanted a command line way of doing it [12:44] rather than using the GUI [12:44] abdulla: are yuo doing this on a spare computer? [12:44] so its server 8 + update or desktop 7.10 + update [12:44] ya [12:44] Launch the Terminal Application/Window and navigate to the ATI Proprietary Linux driver download. dont know how to do this yet [12:44] iam using my laptop now [12:44] why isn't my winodw border changing thru emerald in Hardy? [12:44] im going to say 7.10 + updates would be easier [12:44] dpreacher, for kde its .kde/Autostart [12:44] Ogma: you can temporarily install 7.10 and use that to download other stuff. [12:45] quit [12:45] dpreacher, not sure for gnome [12:45] dpreacher: you've been talking about autostarting gnome... what exactly is it that you want to do? [12:45] so the mount point of the ext3 partion is /, only? [12:45] configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables <--- I got this while I was trying to configure alsa-driver. how come? [12:45] cj_, basically if it is like the ones in past (I have not looked so I am not sure) you will want to run them using sudo, or as root for the install, because it is going to put stuff places that your regular account can't go. go into xterm, then in the directory it is in run ./ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run [12:45] robg_ thats what im saying 7.10 and then run the updates = 8 whatever [12:45] should be [12:45] Gnome Do is different than Gnome soundray...its a quicksilver clone [12:45] dpreacher: it makes it easier if you keep everything on one line [12:45] oh oops [12:45] Kartagis, install build-essential [12:45] how do i remove the boot splash screen? [12:46] for gnome...ubuntu hardy .... why kde. i thought i'd ask kde queries in kubuntu room or kde room [12:46] abdulla: yes, that's the so-called root [12:46] SitUbuntuSit: remove "splash" from the boot options [12:46] abdulla: / is root as in the entier OS is installed there as opposed to splitting /home /boot /etc to different partitions [12:46] SitUbuntuSit, remove usplash [12:46] :P [12:46] abdulla: you don't need a partition that is literally mounted on /root/ [12:46] aha now i see [12:46] Gnome is semi-evil... [12:46] But it is not so bad. [12:46] Ogma: if you have 7.10 desktop and you want 8.04 server you can temporarily install 7.10 download 8.04 and re-install. [12:46] soundray http://do.davebsd.com/ [12:46] see this [12:46] thanxs alot [12:46] thanks... thought so, but didn't want to tinker first. [12:46] i dont understand how to get to the directory that what im having tropuble with [12:46] abdulla: you know you could read abot this stuff before harping on irc... [12:46] going to try it now [12:46] ok sorry [12:47] cj_, Where did you download it too? [12:47] mrynit, if people actually did that, this channel would be dead :) [12:47] dpreacher: System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs [12:47] Desktop [12:47] cd /home//Desktop [12:47] iam new to ubuntu and linux and iam a noob, thats all [12:47] im in the terminal thing [12:47] replace with whatever your actual user name is. [12:47] soundray...gotta set that up for someone remotely thru ssh. unless there's no other way to do it using CLI, i'll have to do it with GUI only :( [12:47] Printing problem: attached first printer to Ubuntu: LaserJet with ethernet port. The "hp-setup" finds it, but cannot ping it. (I'm using "roaming" and getting my Linux box's IP from the ADSL router, so the IP addresses are all over the place.) [12:48] anirudh0: it is ubuntu after all ... [12:48] abdulla, everyone starts as a noob...but then you learn to use google :) [12:48] debian is fairly friendly too. just dont mention ubuntu there [12:48] abdulla: buy a book or two. [12:48] CFLAGS was changed in "/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.14/acore/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS.<--- what do I do? [12:48] it says Bash [12:48] dpreacher: gnome executes ~/.gnomerc on startup -- perhaps call it from there. No experience with that approach here, though [12:49] i get nothing [12:49] anirudh0: everybody here was also a noob...well some day [12:49] will check that file n see if i could add a line there [12:49] abdulla, Feel lucky though. Some of us are returners, and the linux world is a whole new place from my first time around.hehehe :P [12:49] * Emry is a newb... AGAIN. @.@ [12:49] Emry: mainframes? [12:49] Re Printing Problem: is subnet mask stopping the ping going to the printer? [12:49] * soundray has been a linux noob for, erm, 14 years [12:50] mrynit, Not quite. Ever heard of Mandrake? :P Ever run a distro that had almost no real since of a package manager? hehehehe [12:50] anirudh0: aren't you the guy who started the Mac4lin thingy? [12:50] soundray no .gnomerc under ~ dir. [12:50] I'm connected to a VPN but can't ping any of the machines on the remote network. COuld this be to do with the IP addresses of the remote DHCP server (and router) and my local router being the same? [12:50] dpreacher: create it. [12:50] limac, i beg your pardon...started? [12:50] gentoo? [12:51] ok lets make sure im doing this right i go up and cleck on Applications then to Accessoris then to terminal correct [12:51] * Emry got to bootstrap a system when bootstrapping was still the normal way to do an install.... [12:51] oh...but i wanted to see the syntax of the file...can u pastebin ur gnomerc file soundray? [12:51] soundray, is there a autostart directory in gnome?..In kde any program in ~/.kde/Autostart gets executed at login [12:51] O.o Tryin being a newb through that. :P Now bootstrapping is what you do for a kick once you know your way arround. hehehehe [12:51] one more thing, how do i install a kdm theme. going to login manager in system settings doesn't have a means that i see to add a theme [12:51] cj_: idk if yuo have seen this before http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu [12:51] anirudh0: not sure, but in the screenshots I guess I saw your name there ;) [12:51] then when it open it come up as cj@cj-desktop:~$ [12:52] helo guys any way my resolv.conf file deletes on every reboot on ubuntu 8.0.4 [12:52] hi [12:52] cj_, That means you are probably in your home dir. Type cd Desktop [12:52] limac, its some other indian guy..not me though [12:52] anirudh0: oh my bad :P [12:52] dpreacher: I don't have one. You just put the name of any program you want to start on a line in that file [12:52] should i keep old menu.lst or new [12:53] limac, i guess all indian names would sound similar if you are'nt used to them :) [12:53] soundray, there is a system wide gnomerc [12:53] pawan, new [12:53] hello all, i have problem with my ATI Radeon Graphics X1100. I am using ubuntu 8.04. When I try to enable ATI accelerated graphics driver, I restart, then It goes black screen. I try to google in ubuntu forum, it seems not to solve my problem. Any one have the same experience? [12:53] so i just add the program line like i would enter it in the run dialog box? [12:53] can Ubuntu can resize my NTFS partition? [12:53] that didnt work eather [12:53] mepsipax, no [12:53] dpreacher: I still suggest you create a .gnomerc in $HOME [12:53] Hia, kernel 2.6.24-17 breaks suspend for me, against what do I file bug report? [12:53] hello all [12:53] mepsipax, Look up a program called gparted. [12:53] it says keep local version installed [12:53] dpreacher: yes [12:53] mepsipax, AFAIK even partition magic cant [12:54] I thought Ubuntu installer once resized a NTFS for me on a friends laptop... [12:54] Emry, he said ntfs [12:54] mepsipax, In fact, for hard core drive moving, you may want to download the live CD [12:54] i think that will be a safe option [12:54] mepsipax: Ubuntu will resize your NTFS just fine [12:54] anirudh0, Last I checked it supported it. [12:54] anirudh0: http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=204373&ssid=73451 :) === gregoirelamerded is now known as lolgreg [12:54] anirudh0: what makes you think NTFS resizing was not supported? It has been since before dapper [12:55] could i ask something? [12:55] soundray, resizing or fomatting? [12:55] anirudh0: resizing [12:55] anirudh0, Resizing follows a totaly different philosophy from writing to the disk. [12:55] anirudh0, It can resize NTFS without destroying data. [12:55] can me help somebody with my trouble?? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/217562 [12:55] Launchpad bug 217562 in ubuntu "Microphone don't work " [Undecided,New] [12:56] hi, Im trying to install ubunti with raid0 and almost at the end of installation I get " following package have unmet dependencies linux-generic depends linux-image-generic" [12:56] mepsipax, That said, DO backup anything that you don't want to lose...

[12:57] I got ill by just thinking of the possibility of have Digital Restrictions Management in my computer..... [12:58] sudo apt-get prolly [12:58] Insannus: don't. Use compiz-fusion. System-Preferences-Appearance-Desktop Effects [12:58]  Insannus: sudo apt-get install beryl ))) [12:58] This comand don't work here :( [12:58] compiz it better than beryl imho [12:58] hello [12:58] mepsipax, I would advise that you backup any important data first. If it is your primary machine and windows HAS to boot, then concider purchasing a second physical drive. That is just worst case scenerio talking. Download the gparted iso, it will boot a live cd with the program. Run it that way so that you don't have to have any drives active while you hack them up. [12:58] but I guess it is too late to change the decription for the update "[Amit Kucheria] * Poulsbo: Update DRM driver to sync with moblin tree" now? [12:58] Is Beryl oricially dead yet? [12:58] Insannus: what command? Please use the nick of the person you're addressing [12:58] officially dead. :) [12:59] i think no [12:59] Insannus, the beryl project was merged into compiz a whole ago...hence compiz _fusion_ [12:59] I use compiz [12:59] fusion [12:59] anirudh0: or comfuzion ;-) [12:59] !beryl | Dr_willis [12:59] Dr_willis: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged.

[13:00] Ienorand: linux-image-2.24.whatever [13:00] soundray, Thanks [13:00] Use compiz!=) [13:00] soundray, you mean digital rights management :) [13:00] anirudh0: no, I mean digital restrictions management [13:00] Dr_willis: as the factoid says... merged with compiz - so compiz-fusionis what the beryl devs now work on (AFAIK) [13:00] Anyone tried to install Ubuntu Hardy RAID0 on two USB Flash drives ? [13:00] anirudh0: that's what it does, it manages restrictions. [13:01] jussi01, thats not quite what im asking. :) but ill check out the beryl homepage and see what they say [13:01] No, I tried to install it on one flash [13:01] soundray, hmm..never faced it myself...get all songs and stuff off torrent [13:01] soundray, If you want to get technical, the people who coined the term said "Digital RIGHTS management". Digital Restrictions was an RMS term. hehehe :P [13:01] anirudh0: those who babble about "digital rights" are either confused or trying to confuse you. [13:01] Install on single flash works [13:01] yes [13:01] but when set up raid [13:01] it comes to [13:02] hello [13:02] soundray: hmm.... I guess so, but anyway. but the bad dudes have stolen that acronym now :-/ (but the swastika was not a bad symbol either before hitler stole it) [13:02] to the end and then [13:02] i have aquesion about openoffice [13:02] I have RAID at home desktop [13:02] soundray, Those who bable about digital rights are the all of the open source and free software community... That is the entire point of the movement. Concider your words. :P [13:02] have unmet deps linux-generic depends linux-image-generic [13:02] Hardy works with it [13:02] i have a range of numbers and i need to count how many of each number in the range exists [13:02] !enter| markotitel [13:02] markotitel: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[13:03] OK [13:03] soundray, you seem pretty pissed off by it though..... [13:03] someon have idea what can be wrong? [13:03] Kartagis, CFLAGS is just a 'variable' in the Makefile which holds flags passed to the C compiler (hence 'C' Flags). Obviously someone came along and added EXTRA_CFLAGS. Sometimes you can set one to be a superset of the other eg EXTRA_CFLAGS = CFLAGS option2 option3 option 4 [13:03] Emry: I am con*s*idering my words. Sensible people don't put digital and rights together. It's aimed to create confusion [13:04] Is there a programme of instant messaging or theme, with the interface similar to Windows Live? I do not like much of aMSN. [13:04] who here using UltraMixer? [13:04] =) [13:04] robg_: soundray: Emry: please try to keep on the topic of ubuntu support. [13:04] anirudh0: I wouldn't put it that way. I do feel that my rights (not "digital rights") as a consumer are under attack . [13:04] soundray: Digital rights are all about copy rights. Copy rights is what the Open Source and Free Software communities are built on. [13:04] jussi01: all right [13:04] jussi01, Sorry. [13:05] You are welcome to chat in #ubuntu-offtopic - and thanks! [13:05] How can I make ubuntu not lock my screen on suspend? [13:05] hello [13:05] soundray, He is right, we were starting to edge off into the OSS vs FSF type arguments. :P We should probably avoid religious debate. ehhehehehe [13:06] after the last nvidia upgrade (I think) mplayer gets stuck and I need a ctrl+c to make it start [13:06] Is there a programme of instant messaging or theme, with the interface similar to Windows Live? I do not like much of aMSN. [13:06] cannot run the update manger [13:06] MaximLevitsky, AFAIK not possible...defeats the whole purpose of suspend...someone else could come on and pose as you [13:06] Insannus, Look up Pidgin. [13:06] how big should a / partition be>?\ [13:06] Insannus: what about mercury? slow but more complete [13:06] and yes, pidgin, but it doesn't support windows live features [13:06] I think [13:07] thepunisher, 6 gb is good enough...8 gb is more than good enough [13:07] anirudh0, so what, I am the only one that uses the computer [13:07] thanks [13:07] Emry, I already know this, but I would like one with Windows Live, that Mercury is good? [13:08] anirudh0, and besides I want a opengl screen saver, but I suspect it to cause trouble [13:08] Insannus, he meant you to check out skins for pidgin i think.. [13:08] during suspend/resume cycle [13:08] MaximLevitsky, explain the last statement [13:08] hello all :) [13:08] anirudh0: u the same as anirudh1 ? if so why dont u just register ur name [13:09] on centos 5.1 im running this command to install a guest OS of ubuntu: debootstrap --arch=amd64 --include=linux-image-xen --components=main,universe,multiverse hardy /mnt/xen http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [13:09] im getting this error: E: Couldn't work out current architecture [13:09] bijur, did that..on that particular day, there was an xchat process i could'nt kill [13:09] anyone see that before? [13:09] Insannus, I don't know much about IM clients. I used Pidgin becauseI can log into EVERYTHING at once, and it is under active development. heheheh [13:09] Kartagis, then make sure that $(EXTRA_CLGAGS) is in the compile command: may look like this:>>> $(CC) -c $(ALL_CFLAGS) $< -o ../obj/$(@F) <<< $(name) is the reference to name: put $(EXTRA_CFLAGS) tin there: you may have to read about gcc compiler options to see where to put it, often it's just after the $(CC) [13:10] anirudh0, I meant that I use opengl screensaver. but it is started before suspend, and thus display driver must cope with suspending and resuming an live 3D application [13:10] Hi any munin users here? I have installed munin and seemingly configured it correctly yet when I go to the munin webpage, no graphs show up when I click on my hostname's link [13:10] anirudh0, some display drivers don't cope with that [13:10] MaximLevitsky, sorry then...can think of anything useful [13:10] heyo anyone has any ideas what this font it http://i30.tinypic.com/ivwdhc.png [13:11] n8ature i have not used debootstrap for years, i think you need to use i386 as the arch then make it a xen os [13:11] anirudh0, this is just a matter of settings, I always disable that, but I forgot how I did that [13:11] anirudh0, the problem is that ubuntu has _two_ suspend preparation systems [13:12] nice font [13:12] anirudh0 acpi-support, and pm_utils [13:12] bijur, yea ;) [13:12] how do you determine the path to the fonts folder using CLI? [13:12] MaximLevitsky: To disable passwors on suspend/hibernate there should be some settings in gconf-editor: /apps/gnome-power-manager [13:12] dpreacher: why? [13:12] want to copy over some ttf fonts [13:12] Help please, Got a printer on 192.168.1.12, but cannot print or ping. Ethernet is set to Roaming Mode with IP 220.253.207.85 subnetmask 255.255.255.0 . Will that prevent pinging or printing? What can I try, please? [13:12] dns53: thanks, i am having trouble running the 32bit guest kernels on the 64bit xen dom0... is there a way to get the 64bit guest on there? [13:12] !fonts > dpreacher (read the private message from ubottu) [13:12] why dont u ask that dude andash@lapdance :D [13:13] MaximLevitsky, hmmm...do you know how to do a timed wakeup from suspend, or from hibernate?

[13:19] does anyone know of an email client other than evolution that supports exchange servers?

[13:37] assuming the simplest meaning of mud [13:37] I find muds these days are more addictive than any mmo [13:37] which folderts will you sync og ubuntu if you have two ubunut pc and you want sync one of them with the other? [13:37] fight for your mud [13:37] chimp, glad to hear it.. went through it myself with an upgrade. [13:37] anirudh0: hehe [13:37] dns53: oops.. "debootstrap --arch amd64" worked.. but "debootstrap --arch=amd64" produces that error [13:37] rabidweezle: add the module to /etc/modules file [13:37] thanks legend [13:38] i have downloaded the 8.04 alt cd to upgrade from 7.10, is there anything special i should know or is it a smooth upgrade? [13:38] n8ature aah, those little inconsistencies mess things up [13:38] muds have somehow being phased out by wow, secondlife etc, but muds still have their charm [13:38] can i make a "key" to the home dir ? [13:38] Perfect, all done, that was easy legend2440 [13:38] bazzieb, do you have a separate /home? [13:38] lw0x15, You can set the permissions so that no one can see it except for the owner. [13:38] no [13:39] bazzieb: Alternate is a single boot install. [13:39] Emry, i mean like a hotkey [13:39] It surprised the hell out of me how fun a mud is, concidering I haven't really ever gotten into them [13:39] s/muds have/muds are/ [13:39] i was told i need to use that to upgrade [13:39] lw0x15, Ah. :P I am sure there is probably a way. hehe [13:39] oh, it was just pulseaudio acting up [13:40] bazzieb, ouch.. upgrade with cd works I think with the alternate cd.. you may end up with some issues though.. consider making a separate partition for /home or backing up /home [13:40] lw0x15, keyboard shortcut ? [13:40] yes === desti_T2 is now known as desti [13:41] is there a way to list packages installed with apt(itude) on a datetime-descending order? [13:41] scunizi: ok cool, will do, cause i just managed to get my file shares and all my apps working to how i like, so i cant afford to waist time fixing it all again [13:42] bazzieb: my advise is: write all your files to CD. Start installer with live internet connection. Pick LVM Encrypted mode. [13:42] bazzieb, always better to have a separate /home just in case you need to reinstall fresh you still have all your data [13:42] lw0x15, you mean open your personal folder with file browser ? [13:42] do I need upstart? [13:42] dpreacher: i'm pretty sure apt logs its installs somewhere, if you can find the log file, a regular grep should do that [13:42] uh huh [13:43] Hello, can anyone tell me which device I've got reading following lshw output : product: BCM4310 USB Controller [13:44] onemorestop, see --> Mod4 r :ExecCommand fbrun <--- i wonder if i can launch my home dir or any dir like that with a shortcut [13:44] lw0x15, is that fluxbox ? [13:45] do I need upstart if i want to add services to start-up or is there an easier way like rc-update on gentoo? [13:45] cool thanks guys [13:45] onemorestop, yep [13:45] Kartagis: the easy way is to install things with APT? What are you trying to add? [13:46] bazzieb: One other thing. Don't mess with the install process. [13:46] cat aptitude | grep [INSTALL] is this not the right way to find only those lines that show which packages have been freshly installed. it is showing the entire file contents [13:46] jrib: apache, mysql server and alsa-utils [13:46] dpreacher: grep [INSTALL] matches anything with an I, N, S, T, A, or L in it [13:47] oh how do i escape the brackets? [13:47] how setup usb bluetooth in hardy? [13:47] dpreacher: \[ [13:47] Kartagis: those are all in the repositories [13:47] thanks Kartagis [13:47] lw0x15, exec your file browser application with a name of the directory [13:47] Hello, can anyone tell me which device I've got reading following lshw output : product: BCM4310 USB Controller [13:48] jrib: I know, I just want to add them to startup [13:48] lol, ok, i am still a Linux beginner so i usually dont interfere with much [13:48] kelvin911, just plug it in :) [13:48] Kartagis: they are automatically added when you install them [13:48] onemorestop, ok ill try [13:48] cat aptitude | grep \[INSTALL\] this is not working still...all file gets output [13:48] i plug it in then what? [13:48] lw0x15, in gnome you might set you keyboard shortcut [13:48] bazzieb: just fill in the required info, pick LVM Encrypted (4th option) and go for a walk. [13:48] which repository might have old versions of icewm and xdm? [13:48] dpreacher: grep '\[INSTALL\]' probably [13:49] my phone cant connect it [13:49] let me try [13:49] can ubuntu do full hd? [13:49] kelvin911, gnome-bluetooth ? [13:49] onemorestop: i think so [13:49] perfect [13:49] :) [13:49] Hello people, I'm trying to find a solution to pulseaudio + wine without kill pulseaudio. Anyone know about that ? [13:49] kelvin911, have you install it ? [13:49] onemorestop: Bluetooth Applet 0.25 [13:50] but i got only the aptitude log...now to find the apt-get log [13:50] sweet, thanks very much [13:50] oh, I didn't know that. thanks jrib [13:50] remoteCTR1, full hd? what do you mean [13:50] jayson: I have sound in wine without doing anything special. In any case, look at padsp [13:50] onemorestop: when i plug in the bluetooth in windows i can see blue light flashing but not in hardy [13:50] onemorestop: do i need drivers ? [13:51] scunizi: high density tv, like 1080p playing blue rays and transporting it to a full hd tv [13:51] jrib, I have tried padsp and nothing is happening. Did you made any config in wine ? [13:51] kelvin911, dpkg -l | grep bluetooth ? [13:51] jayson: no, I don't even use padsp [13:51] how to install tar.gz? [13:51] jrib, Maybe I need reinstall my pulseaudio ? [13:51] onemorestop: ii libbluetooth2 3.29-0ubuntu1 Library to use the BlueZ Linux Bluetooth sta [13:52] kelvin911, apt-get install gnome-bluetooth [13:52] jayson: reinstall rarely helps anything, that's a windows mindset [13:52] remoteCTR1, so you want know if ubuntu can play a hd dvd? if you have blueray player installed.. will it connect to a large screen .. yep.. [13:52] onemorestop: the one in System doesnt work? [13:52] kelvin911, it works [13:53] kelvin911, but you still need gnome-bluetooth [13:53] traveler_2030: what are you trying to install? [13:53] remoteCTR1, you also have to realize that most commercial dvd's have protection. You'll have to load the decoder.. [13:54] anyone got suggestions for getting automount working again with 8.04? [13:54] since i upgraded it hasn't worked on any usb device - fat32 or ext2 or ext3 [13:54] kelvin911, i least i do need gnome-bluetooth to send file to my mobilephone :) [13:54] device is detected and appears in /dev ok, gnome-mount -vtd works, but why n automatic mounting? [13:55] jrib: I have a lot of changes in /etc/pulseaudio and /etc/asound.conf. Maybe that destroyed my configs. [13:55] jrib: is alsa-utils added to start-up too? how can I verify this? [13:55] microwaver: not sure i understand your question but BCM4310 USB Controller is a Broadcom wireless network card [13:55] onemorestop: ok, i install gnome-bluetooth now what? [13:56] i still get nothing in Bluetooth Preferences [13:56] legend2440, I know but there are 3 choices of driver. but I'm going to see if I can ndisgtk the one I have [13:56] kelvin911, check your menu [13:56] kelvin911: that I'm not sure about. You can see what it installs with 'dpkg -L PACKAGE' [13:57] how can i remove gnome, xfce and pekwm ? lol and just keep fluxbox [13:59] jrib: is alsa-utils added to start-up too? how can I verify this? [13:59] Kartagis: did you see my last response? === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [13:59] how do i know if the usb bluetooth is working? [13:59] Kartagis: they are automatically added when you install them <--- this? [14:00] kelvin911: that I'm not sure about. You can see what it installs with 'dpkg -L PACKAGE' [14:00] jrib: Package `package' is not installed. [14:01] kelvin911: PACKAGE is the actual name of your package [14:02] [14:02] the thing is when i plug in the bluetooth i got the bluetooth icon, but i can not detect any bluetooth device [14:03] hi [14:03] can anyone recommend speech recognition software? [14:03] I Have some sound issues in my newly installed Hardy. Totemplayer won't play the sound on either mp3 or avi files. Amarok can play mp3's fine. And youtube etc also works.

I just did the updates from ubuntu repos and it borked my gnome. right after I login with gdm, my entire screen goes white. I have a mouse cursor, but nothing else. help please :) [14:11] ciao [14:11] robg_, wha? I don't understand [14:11] problem spotted... [14:11] ubuntu come e va [14:11] bene grazie e tu ? [14:11] Can screen split vertically? [14:11] Ubuntu va bene [14:11] Speckal: How u update ur ubuntu? [14:11] Mabo, bene com tu :D [14:12] hej [14:12] lol [14:12] lol [14:12] is "apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop" supposed to work on hardy heron? [14:12] I try to install Hardy on a DELL PowerEdge 1600SC with a Adaptec aic7xxx controller and a CERC ATA/100 megaraid RAID controller. Theses devices seems to be loaded during to fisrt install stage, but the installer complains it doesn't find harddisk!!! What can I do? [14:12] ChaosTheory_, you mean screen - the tool to multiplex terminals.. I dont think it can. [14:12] Dr_willis: Oh, okay. [14:12] Speckal: ?? [14:12] when I try that I get a long list of packages with unmet dependencies [14:12] ChaosTheory_, for the Console, you could try 'twin' it has sort of a text based window manager for terminals [14:13] Dr_willis: I don't know how to use it. [14:13] ChaosTheory_, use what? [14:13] Dr_willis: Is it supposed to start up with a mouse? [14:13] Dr_willis: twin [14:13] joshuafr: the problem also happen on some Compaq and Acer laptop... Try check your system from boot.. [14:13] bye bye [14:13] go to the console, login, run 'twin' [14:13] ChaosTheory_, I think you need to have gpm enabled/running also for twin to work right [14:13] Dr_willis: Yes, I only run xfce4-terminal in ratpoison. [14:14] beyta: what do you mean? [14:14] joshuafr: maybe it disable ur hard disk to format.. [14:14] Dr_willis: I have gpm installed. [14:14] Dr_willis: How do I enable it? [14:14] anybody running KDE4 on hardy heron ..? [14:14] ChaosTheory_, last i tried. 'twin' did not work properly under X. its better for the console. [14:14] hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu on my eeepc, and i asked this question in #eeepc but got no help, basically I've made the usb bootable disk, but no matter what i do, the eeepc just has a flashing cursor and flashing activity light on the usb stick, this happens regardless of whether i make the usb stick installer with unetbootin, isotostick.sh or manually, any ideas? [14:14] beyta: you speak about the DELL RAID utilities? [14:14] guys i have this usb bluetooth, how do i check if it works in ubuntu? http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/pc-92-3-rocketfish-bluetooth-20-edr-class-ii-wireless-usb-adapter.aspx [14:14] Dr_willis: Okay, let me detach and try from there. [14:14] ChaosTheory_, and by 'console' i mean the alt-ctrl-F1 through F6 consoles. Not X terminal consoles. :) [14:14] al-maisan: yes, install kubuntu-desktop and then kde4 [14:14] are 512 RAM and about 700 MB swap enough for ubuntu? [14:15] adac: more than enough :D [14:15] Hi, how do I pass file parameters to the file i am running with wine? [14:15] sarmisak: thanks! [14:15] adac: I am running a local server with that config on a sempron ;) [14:15] sarmisak: that's why I love linux [14:15] Dr_willis: Yes, I know. [14:15] Dr_willis: It works. ^^; [14:15] joshuafr: sori i do not know about Dell... but on Compaq, i enter boot by F8 and have one menu that disable my hard disk from editing.. after i enable, the disk was detect... [14:16] Dr_willis: So what's the advantage of this over screen? [14:16] Dr_willis: Also, does it support keybindings? [14:16] beyta: ok, I'm going to look at that. Thanks [14:16] beyta: with the auto-update icon [14:16] joshuafr: I've worked with ubuntu on dell laptops and might be able to help. what's your issue? [14:16] slushpuppy\ /join #winehq [14:16] beyta: the update manager tool [14:16] kelvin911: plug it in? [14:16] Speckal: what do u mean? [14:17] sarmisak: i plug it in already [14:17] ChaosTheory_, try it and see. its more of a 'window manager' thing. you can have overlappiong windows, and a clock, and so forth. its not commonly used. but its handy at times. [14:17] sarmisak: cant find my cell [14:17] beyta: the little icon in the tray that tells you when updates are available [14:17] kelvin911: or much better idea, open a term window and type 'less /var/log/syslog' [14:17] sarmisak: and my cell cant find the computer [14:17] ChaosTheory_, think 'text based window manager for the console' :) [14:17] kelvin911: then plug out, plug in and watch the syslog [14:17] Thanks Jack_Sparrow. [14:17] np [14:17] Speckal: where? i use Xchat.. [14:17] kelvin911: should find a driver first [14:17] scunizi: sorry man i had an important phone call... so you are sure about that full hd capabilities, yes? (never mind the copy protection i know how to fix that) [14:17] hi guys was hoping you could help, i recently installed ubuntu 8.04 hardy through windows xp (WUBI) and have since been unable to mount XP permanently, anyone have any suggestions? [14:17] ? [14:18] Dr_willis: Great. [14:18] Dr_willis: Will I be able to run links2 -g here? [14:18] ChaosTheory_, at one time i was trying to figurure out how to do irssi in multi windows under twin. :) never did get it right. [14:18] my X screen goes completely white and it might be compiz... if I switch to a different vterm (ctrl+alt+f2, for ex), and type export DISPLAY=:0.0; metacity --replace & it doesn't work... what am I missing? [14:18] pdub Read the faq on the wubi wiki.. Sorry for the vague answer but I wont use or recommend wubi [14:18] beyta: sorry, what's the question? [14:19] ChaosTheory_, links -g would use the framebuffer console. if you have the framebuffer enabled it should work on the console. [14:19] pdub: there will always be some hard times always mounting an ntfs partition. sometimes it needs to be force mounted because of the way windows handles the ntfs logfiles [14:19] Dr_willis: I was unable to run links2 -g in normal tty before. [14:19] hi, i know its ubuntu server but i have nowhere to ask: how can i insert image in Joomla manually: [img]x.jpg[/img] does not work :(, thanks for help!!! [14:19] notebook is so slow sometimes...for example when i start amarok the disk loads and loads and loads and makes all slow that I can't work anymore :( [14:19] hi, are there currently ICQ problems with LICQ/PIDGIN? [14:19] ChaosTheory_, i would guess that you dident have the framebuffer enabled. [14:19] Dr_willis: Like what? Viewing each channel separately? [14:19] i am looking for the best linux distro for old laptop (pentium 2 64 ram memory) [14:19] sarmisak: the system log is so huge [14:20] sarmisak: where to start? [14:20] Dr_willis: How do I enable it? [14:20] nevill_: how much memory? [14:20] can you guys help me with squid? [14:20] What can I do when I cannot play a sound in flash at the same time as a sound from Totem? [14:20] kelvin911: push SHIFT+F [14:20] I have to close one or the other to play a sound. [14:20] ChaosTheory_, see the !framebuffer factoid. I alwyas disale the framebuffer. [14:20] aguitel: dsl maybe [14:20] aguitel: also, puppy linux [14:20] ChaosTheory_, it can cause 'issues' :) [14:20] Is this a bug in firefox or somewhere else? [14:20] ! xus utnubu ! [14:20] Factoid xus utnubu ! not found [14:20] aguitel: you would have to boot one from CD-ROM to see if all hardware is detected. [14:20] aguitel We dont do polls in here and with only 64 meg nothing Ubuntu will work except maybe a minimal install.. [14:20] Frogzoo: 512 RAM about 700 swap ...my nick was adac before. i got disconnected [14:20] aguitel, PuppyLinux is a handy tool to have on a live cd. :) [14:20] aguitel try distrowatch.com [14:20] sarmisak: ?? [14:21] Speckal: i ask why when i type 3 or 4 letters for the nick here and i press tab button, the nick not finish, but appear some word that i also do not understand on my xchat... [14:21] try debian if you only have 64meg [14:21] sarmisak: what am i trying to do here? [14:21] can you guys help me with squid? [14:21] nevill_: if you're careful, and don't open too many apps at once, you should be ok [14:21] kelvin911: you are watching the log go by [14:21] sarmisak: what log? [14:21] benistar: I think there are general icq problems today [14:21] pdub: Did you try that line that STSX gave you yesterday to add to your /etc/fstab? [14:21] kelvin911: plug out and then replug your usb dongle [14:21] also don't plan on using X with only 64 megs...might not be very nice [14:21] Le^stat: we don't know [14:21] thanks [14:22] How do I input apt-cache output to e.g. less? I know vim can do it with "|vim -" but less is simpler and also supports searching. [14:22] nevill_, thank you.. you saved my day.. licq just bitches around and pidgin tells me wrong password - perhaps they changed the encoding [14:22] !framebuffer [14:22] Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub [14:22] I have hardy 8.10.

[14:25] bad_image: ): was i [14:25] sarmisak: i dont understand those log [14:25] how to get packages from the website? [14:25] new2linux: packages.ubuntu.com [14:26] jrib: thanks [14:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15321/ [14:26] squid help required [14:26] How do I search for local packages? I am used to archlinux's pacman and I'd like to search through packages that I have installed. [14:26] jrib, doog, ko [14:26] (with apt) [14:26] sarmisak: part of the log ? http://www.pastebin.ca/1032072 [14:27] Anyone have a solution to the "Nautilus cannot handle ________: locations." bug? Happens whenever I try to do anything in nautilus (computer, network, burn, etc) [14:27] remoteCTR1, the capabilities are with the player and codecs available..maybe others can answer the question more susynctly (sp?) and with better insight.. my thoght is the machine can drive a large screen and you just need the blueray player and codecs to complete the picture. [14:27] nevill_: if disk is failing, you'll see scsi timeouts in /var/log/messages - but I think it's just low memory [14:28] i need gstreamer extra plugins and i've search for it and came out with many packages. which one should i pick for the gstreamer package? === jagggy1 is now known as jagggy [14:29] hello everyone [14:29] scunizi: that is a fine guess but ia ma afraid its not that easy, see there are more graphics adapters that can transport a 1920x1080 resolution, even my very old nvidia 6600gt can do that but only adapters beginning with 8800gt are capable of working out a full hd signal [14:29] AaronH: whats up... [14:29] Steve-cal i couldn't remember the line for the life of me and i never restarted so i had the partition all day yesturday [14:29] to which groups should i add a regular user in order for it to be able to run servers that open sockets? [14:29] Dr_Willis: Do you know how I can get the tty font to be used in a terminal emulator? [14:30] scunizi: so just to be able to produce the resolution wont do the job... [14:30] what is the command on freenode to map the server list? [14:30] if anyone knows [14:30] :) [14:30] ChaosTheory_, theres a console tool to set the fonts. I forget its name however. [14:30] Dr_willis: Well, I have a script to install fonts. [14:30] Dr_willis: I just dont know where to get the console font. [14:30] pdub: Well did you change your /etc/fstab or no? [14:30] ChaosTheory_, the 'console' uses a totally different kindof font then X does. [14:30] HardyHuman, freenode.net has all that stuff documented [14:30] Dr_willis: :( [14:31] hello all :) [14:31] kelvin911: you might consider buying another dongle [14:31] ChaosTheory_, use 'locate consolefont' to find them - i belive. [14:31] remoteCTR1, current HD requires blueray players. nothing else out there. HD dvd is dead. [14:31] sarmisak: whys that? [14:31] ChaosTheory_, it would be impressive if it could use the X fonts. [14:31] i can't figure out how, whenever i try to change the fstab, it says access denied, and i cannot log in as root.. not sure what the sudo command is under the terminal [14:31] hello ! [14:31] gotcha just wanted the shortest routes [14:31] sarmisak: this usb bluetooth only for windows? [14:31] kelvin911: it would cost much cheaper to you since it cannot load any drivers for your dongle [14:31] Dr_willis: It gave me a list. [14:31] kelvin911: probably yes [14:31] greetings from monkey island [14:31] pdub gksudo gedit path/file or sudo nano path/file [14:32] sarmisak: how do i know if usb bluetooth is for linux? [14:32] this place is strange [14:32] lol [14:32] what up unr3a1 [14:32] scunizi: looks like you're not the only one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/233889 [14:32] ChaosTheory_, theres some 'consolefonts' directory with all the fonts the console can use. theres proberly a howto on changing them. I normally dont bother.

[14:32] Dr_willis: Oh, okay. [14:32] HardyHuman the shortest route is to ask in a channel related to what you need to know. [14:32] lol [14:32] the system keeps notifying me about some updates related with of evolution, I want to disable those updates because I don't use evolution, any suggestions please? [14:32] pdub: The /etc/fstab is just a text file--you have to load it up with a text editor, say: "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" [14:33] hmm... ubottu recognizes launchpad links?.. cool [14:33] !pinning | In-Sane`` [14:33] In-Sane``: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others.

I'm trying to install ubuntu onto a hdd which is on my laptop (which i plan to remove and fit into a desktop PC after) anyways.. I get to the hdd partitioning stage, and whichever option I choose, it just goes straight back to the menu and selects the top option "guided" the hdd does have a previous (partial) installation of debian on it. any ideas? [14:33] Launchpad bug 1 in ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,Confirmed] [14:33] kelvin911: try googling [14:33] Slart: Please don't abuse it.... [14:33] Pici: just had to check =) [14:33] ChaosTheory_, i just googled an answer. :) sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [14:33] sarmisak: thats what i am doing [14:34] kelvin911: there are many sites for hardware compatibility issues [14:34] how can I see services added to start-up? [14:34] ChaosTheory_, i just googled an answer. :) look at the documentation in /usr/share/doc/console-tools and the other /usr/share/doc/console-* folders, since now these are the packages used to set up the console font at boot time, IIRC. [14:34] perlmonkey: always use guided option. Is safest. [14:34] HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [14:34] robg_ even if I select the guided option, it just goes straight back to the menu [14:34] Dr_willis: Actually, I think I'll just stick with my current font. ;) Thanks for the help, though. [14:34] Slart wrong nick? for link referance? [14:35] ok i got it loaded up.. now what would the the command line be to mount xp in a wubi install? [14:35] gizmokaka not appreciated [14:35] what the eheck [14:35] perlmoney: there is logic built into the installer. Sometimes something is not possible. [14:35] Hi [14:35] ChaosTheory_, i had issues with twin not using a proper font.. never did get it 100% working right. [14:35] hi [14:35] it doesn't make any sense to me [14:35] How can i change resolution on fvwm-crystal ? [14:35] i'm in 800*600 : ( [14:35] k [14:36] oh thanks for the attention :) [14:36] Dr_willis: Oh. [14:36] well captain Jack [14:36] Dr_willis: Yeah, I'm really accustomed to RP's keybindings. [14:36] if I select manual partition method and deleted all existing partitions, and create a new one from free space, it should carry that out eh. but it does not [14:36] perlmonkey does sudo fdisk -l return a valid drive and partition [14:36] scunizi: ahh.. indeed.. it was for jmgardn3 [14:36] what could be preventing it? [14:36] Jack: can you answer my small fairly easy question? [14:36] scunizi: about the "Nautilus cannot handle blablabla" bug [14:36] Dr_willis: I've got a nice setup, I think. ^^; [14:36] Jack_Sparrow I will break out to a shell and check, good point [14:36] Slart, yep.. :) np [14:37] jmgardn3: looks like you're not the only one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/233889 [14:37] pdub: Try using this: [14:37] Launchpad bug 233889 in nautilus "nautilus cannot handle" [Low,Incomplete] [14:37] /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,nouser 0 1 [14:37] how do i encrypt e-mail? name of the program plz :) [14:37] or a tutorial [14:37] which usb bluetooth is known to be work with linux? [14:37] Jack_Sparrow: I'm assuming the drive is ok as I was able to boot from it [14:37] perlmoney: always possible to do guided install of entire disk. [14:37] B-rabbit: there's a pgp plugin for thunderbird.. enigma something [14:37] Jack_Sparrow, so dude, can you also help me? [14:37] perlmonkey It might be seen in windows but not by ubuntu... [14:37] robg_ well it's not possible in this instance, so something is wrong [14:37] Slart: Unfortunately I have yet to get a fix.... [14:37] gizmokaka Stop.. No... [14:37] my question is fairly easy and short [14:37] Slart, thnx :) i will check it out [14:38] Jack_Sparrow, thanks [14:38] perlmoney: you could wipe disk clean with gparted and download a fresh LiveCD. [14:38] guru, hi [14:38] Is my blog friendly to Ubuntu users ? http://djbarney.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/how-to-keep-the-compiz-cube-zoomed-out-and-in-3d/ [14:38] might be an idea [14:38] guru, can please tell me, to which group should i add a regular user inorder for it to be able to [14:38] B-rabbit: enigmail is the name of the extension.. http://enigmail.mozdev.org/home/index.php [14:38] grobda24: yes. [14:39] run servers that open sockets? [14:39] perlmoney: if hardware is on good condition you can overwrite disk as many times as you want. [14:39] are there anyother programs the run windows game beside Wine? [14:39] grobda24: looks alright to me [14:39] grobda24, doesn't load here. [14:39] hackntossh ... I new to Ubuntu. I was worried about using vim, but maybe that's the only way to edit a protected file ? [14:39] Can someone else play a youtube video then try to play a mp3. I have to do one or the other, but i cannot do both at the same time. I was able to before 8.04 [14:40] grobda24: and I've got noscript and adblock running.. but it doesn't seem to affect so I guess it's playing by the rules =) [14:40] grobda24: doesn't load here either [14:40] scunizi .... what error ? dns ? traffic problem ? [14:40] raytruz`: are you using pulseaudio for sound? [14:40] grobda24, just continues "loading" black screen [14:40] grobda24: you can edit any protected file, you have to use "sudo" before you ask to edit...e.g. sudo pico httpd.conf [14:41] I hope a new kernel is released soon. :( [14:41] Slart: I'm using whatever is default for 8.04 [14:41] hackntossh ... yes, I meant in the GUI. [14:41] gparted seems to have done the trick [14:41] Slart: and Firefox for youtube, and totem for themp3 [14:41] thanks guys [14:41] are there anyother programs the run windows game beside Wine? [14:41] raytruz`: I'll give it a try here.. hang on [14:41] Chuggst3r, they just released -17 .. you don't like it? [14:41] perlmoney: sure, with gparted I solve any problem. [14:41] Slart: thanks. As far as totem goes, i just let it search for the codecs to play mp3. I did this just fine before 8.04. [14:41] grobda24, use gksudo gedit [14:41] grobda24: yes, vim is the best way imho [14:42] scunizi: No, it broke my 3D Acceleration. [14:42] raytruz: I notice the problem as well..quite strange [14:42] hackntossh .... ok, thanks :) [14:42] scunizi ... is that in the menu ? [14:42] jmgardn3: yeah it looks like we took a step back with this release :-) [14:42] Chuggst3r, must be a quirk.. 3 machines here and no breakage except for restricted drivers on server [14:42] scuzini: Nvidia drivers no longer work, and I've pretty much tried everything. I sat here all yesterday trying stuff with fde, amrik. [14:42] raytruz`: I don't have totem install but I tried using audacious and youtube on ff3 [14:43] Hi guys, I'm having issues playing DVDs. libdvdnav/read/css are installed, and it was working last night (well, sort of - the video was quite blue). Now I can't play dvds in VLC, gxine, mplayer, or totem [14:43] raytruz`: it worked nicely [14:43] suczini: Possibly, fde ended up just telling me to try waiting for a new kernel release. [14:43] raytruz: not quite sure what exactly the issue is, but I would guess it's an issue with the flash plugin...I have some issues with it at times [14:43] raytruz`: try running the sound applet.. System, preferences, sound.. set everything to pulseaudio [14:43] jrib: i've downloaded a package and save it to a usb, now i want to install it on ubuntu. i use synaptic to open a downloaded package but it can't open the file from usb [14:43] I've been trying t get a usb card reader working today (with no success), but that's all that has changed [14:43] Slart: roger. [14:44] grobda24, no .. to edit locked files you have to use sudo so that means the terminal.. however gedit is the default text editor off of Applications/Accessories .. gksudo gedit gives root privildges [14:44] I'm running Hardy x64 [14:44] new2linux: you can't double click on it? [14:44] scuzini: I'm not sure on quirk, everytime the kernel tries to run the nvidia drivers, it says it exits on a signal 15...or at least that's what the log says. [14:44] raytruz`: then run this "sudo apt-get install padevchooser paman pavucontrol" [14:44] Did anybody know how to use Windows font in Ubuntu? [14:44] jrib: the contents on folder couldn't be displayed [14:44] !fonts > beyta (read the private message from ubottu) [14:44] beyta msttcorefonts [14:45] new2linux: is this specific to the package or any file on the usb? [14:45] mean old MS changed the licensing on the Vista font packages. :( heh heh.. === jelmer is now known as jelmer__ [14:45] scunizi ... yes this sudo business makes a lot of sense. I did read the explanation page about it, but it's still sinking. I'll add the "gksudo gedit" to the blog as that's more friendly :) [14:45] jrib: the gstreamer plugins and the gstreamer ffmpeg [14:45] sinking in* === jelmer__ is now known as jelmer [14:45] new2linux: that's not my question though, can you read things on the usb key? [14:45] jrib: i've downloaded both to usb pendrive and now want to install it to ubuntu [14:46] jrib: yes, nothing wrong with the usb [14:46] jrib: other file can be open [14:46] new2linux: then copy the debs to your desktop [14:46] Slart: after i install those packages, is there anything to configure? [14:46] BTW I installed the new kernel. I only had to recompile my linuxtv drivers to match the new kernel. no other problems. [14:46] raytruz`: I don't know if you have to restart firefox or not.. but give it a try.. see if it works now [14:47] jrib: i'm plugging the usb on the thin-client but with administrator account [14:47] grobda24: I wish i had such few problems :( [14:47] No go [14:47] raytruz`: no sound at all? or some error message? [14:47] jrib: but, i'll try copying the file to the desktop and retry with synaptic again [14:47] I get sound from totem, but not flash [14:47] new2linux: you just double click on the debs [14:47] Chuggst3r ... I guess it varies from system to system. There's always something :P [14:47] I have to close totem first to get sound [14:47] new2linux: (no synaptic) [14:47] raytruz`: ok.. try this then .. run "pavucontrol &" in a terminal.. it will give you a pulseaudio control window [14:48] Chuggst3r_ ^^ [14:48] grobda24: Mine is frustrating, haha. The longer I can't get it working the closer I am to formatting. [14:48] done, shows no streams available in playback tab [14:48] jrib: if i double click, the archive manager open it and become a folder. and then how to install the package? [14:48] new2linux: what version of ubuntu is this? [14:48] raytruz`: ok.. what happens if you restart firefox and open a movie in youtube? [14:48] jrib: hardy heron [14:49] new2linux: with gnome? [14:49] jrib: yes [14:49] i try to connect to ftp on a linux fedora 8 server and it says unsupported operation with nautilis but works with kftp? [14:49] no stream avialble [14:49] but [14:49] jrib: ubuntu alternate x86 [14:49] raytruz`: you should get something like this.. http://tombuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/pavucontrol.jpg [14:49] if i open totem, i see it in the playback tab. [14:49] new2linux: weird... install gdebi if you want to double click. Otherwise use 'dpgk -i' on the command line [14:49] But firefox doesn't show [14:49] But it shows for you? [14:49] Chuggst3r_ ... Have you tried simply unistalling and reinstalling the nvidia driver in the normal way ? [14:50] raytruz`: yes.. like in the screenshot I get another little box for my flash audio.. [14:50] hmm [14:50] how did u install your flash plugin? [14:50] jrib: i'm plugging the usb pendrive onto thin-client but with admin. user account. is that ok with this way? to modify the system? [14:50] raytruz`: I wonder if I did something special ... can't really remember [14:50] Cuz i copied my mozilla folder [14:50] i wonder if i need to wipe it out [14:50] raytruz`: I think I installed it using firefox [14:50] and reinstall the plugin [14:50] new2linux: sure [14:50] raytruz`: there might be some magic going on in the installation script [14:51] yeah [14:51] i shall try [14:51] jrib: http://www.gstreamer.net/ here is where i get the package [14:51] doesn't ubuntu have a command like rc-update show on gentoo? [14:51] I have a router hooked up but did port forwarding and works with kftp as i mentioned but i would rather use natulis anyone know issue? [14:51] new2linux: no... why are you not using packages.ubuntu.com? [14:51] jrib: it call tarball, is it a package that could be double click and install by itself? === dawut is now known as davut [14:51] new2linux: no [14:51] raytruz`: do that.. once it uses pulseaudio you can use that volume control window to send the sound to a different soundcard or a different output.. change volume etc etc.. it's really handy when it works [14:51] Chuggst3r_ ... I think you can roll back the kernel by using the start menu options. [14:52] jrib: i'm on ms windows now, the ubuntu system are not plug to the internet [14:52] new2linux: k, use packages.ubuntu.com [14:52] hi can anyone advise me on where to go to for howto on openafs server and client setup on Heron? [14:52] jrib: ok, and then? i search the package and it give with many result that couldn't be click [14:53] new2linux: what package do you want? [14:53] is there any tool to manipulate layer 2 frames? i want to tag frames wth any vlan i want [14:53] Kartagis: update-rc.d? read man update-rc.d and see if its the same thing [14:53] jrib: gstreamer extra plugins and gstreamer ffmpeg video plugins [14:53] new2linux: what's the actual name of the package? [14:54] error [14:54] Do anyone face issues with Firefox in Ubuntu lately ? [14:54] openafs setup anyone? [14:54] jrib: gst-plugins-ugly [14:54] !anyone | pappan [14:54] Whenever I am clicking on a button, it just hangs there [14:54] pappan: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:54] pappan: it's a bit unstable when it comes to flash.. but other than that it works ok [14:54] pappan, did you upgrade? [14:55] I am trying to search mail [14:55] new2linux: I don't get any results for that package [14:55] hi, someone able to connect to icq with pidgin/similiar? [14:55] in yahoo [14:55] !anyone | argh, i forgot the name of this irc server. how was it again, irc.freenode ... something? [14:55] argh, i forgot the name of this irc server. how was it again, irc.freenode ... something?: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [14:55] and it just hangs there [14:55] vista sucks, third bsod so far! [14:55] pappan, did you upgrade from gutsy? [14:55] tabularasa_: I use piding with icq and msn [14:55] Am I able to download a good english dictionary in hardy? [14:55] yeah I did [14:55] new2linux: you want gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly ? [14:55] Slart: nevermind [14:55] tabularasa_: bah.. pidgin [14:55] jrib: i've search on the directory and the content of package, return to no result [14:55] Slart: i just gut connected [14:55] Hows it going everyone :D [14:55] from gutsy to hardy [14:55] is that the issue? [14:55] Slart: didn't work for the last 4 hours or so over here [14:55] !enter [14:55] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:55] jrib: yes [14:55] bye [14:56] It was working fine before with gutsy.. and with heron too, till some days back [14:56] jrib: they are restricted packages [14:56] pappan, try mv /home//.mozilla /home//.mozilla.backup and restart FF.. some plugins for FF from Gutsy cause issues. [14:56] new2linux: search for it, you get a search result page. The first hit says "Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly". Click on "hardy" right under it [14:56] ah thanks..I will try === roxahris_ is now known as roxandSLEEP [14:57] BTW but it happens with konqueror too..though not every time.. [14:57] any suggestion to backuping up the /etc folder? [14:57] pappan, don't know anything about konqueror [14:57] @pappan | which version do u use? [14:57] new2linux: you need to satisfy the dependencies listed yourself (ie click on them and download the package). To download the package click on the link for you architecture under "Download gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly". If you have a debian/ubuntu system with internet somewhere, there are easier ways to do this [14:58] firefox 3 beta 5 [14:58] !offline > new2linux (read the private message from ubottu) [14:58] Installed firefox 2 also..but it's all the same with FF2 also [14:58] how do I add my username to the proxy group? I added my username to the proxy group in the /etc/group file but that didn't seem to allow me to view files owned by group proxy? [14:58] Slart: Which plugin did you install for flash? Did you not choose the adobe one? [14:58] pappan: what's not working for FF, sorry? [14:59] Make sure you have the Adobe plugin, and in synaptic Libflashsupport [14:59] i use 2.0.0.14 and it runs perfectly [14:59] what chaan if i need help about voip? [14:59] Woot. [14:59] movedx, , When I am clicking on a button whose form action is a post, it hangs there.. Either prompt me for download that page or gives a white blank file [14:59] sarthor: find a voip application and frequent the application's channel [15:00] I am trying to search email in yahoo and it gives a white page after hanging for some time [15:00] pappan: sounds like a remote server issue, incorrectly configured Apache/HTTPd mime-type - does it happen on any site? [15:00] It shows waiting for us.mail.yahoo.com for quite a while before turning white [15:00] what's the best way to back up your config file? [15:00] yeah it happens on yahoo, some forums, and my own joomla site [15:00] jrib: i've used the link you've given http://apt.byethost14.com/, but no hardy distribution [15:00] a would check what movedx said pappan [15:01] new2linux: how about using synaptic then? [15:01] pappan, Yahoo is having issues right now [15:01] hello does anyone know where I can go to get instructions for setup and install openafs server? [15:01] jrib: the one on the gstreamer website, the name of the file is this gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.8.tar.bz2 === [Xorothal] is now known as Xorothal [15:01] LjL: new2linux would appreciate hardy on your apt site if you are bored :) [15:01] sarthor: #voipcoop #voipguys [15:01] I am confused, a file has: -rw-r----- 1 proxy proxy and I am part of the proxy group, why cant I cat that file? [15:01] LjL: yes, lack of hardy distribution [15:01] @majikins | google? :D [15:02] raytruz`: I use the adobe one.. yes [15:02] nanoprobe: tried that [15:02] raytruz`: flashplugin-nonfree [15:02] new2linux: look, you can't use that, that's just going to make it more difficult. I suggest you generate a script with synaptic. If you don't want to do that for some reason, then you should download the deb's manually from packages.ubuntu.com as I explained [15:02] nanoprobe: no luck or i'm not querying properly [15:02] guys, when I try and record sound, it comes out in really bad quality, i can't really describe the sound, it makes, but it bears some correspondance to when i speak into the mic [15:03] well it works from IE on windows.. [15:03] @tabularasa, i use pidgin [15:03] legend2440, thank [15:03] guys? [15:03] microwaver_: sudo cp name.conf name.conf.bak [15:04] pappan: sounds like FF, then, not processing the output fromt he server correctly. [15:04] pappan: try and do it with Opera [15:04] i try to connect to ftp on a linux fedora 8 server and it says unsupported operation with nautilis but works with kftp? [15:04] jrib: i get it, you click on the hardy link and then you'll be redirected to the download website [15:04] the ftp is running fedora 8 im using ubuntu hardy [15:04] jrib: in windows, you click on the name of the file [15:04] duane: That means nuatilus doesn't support the FTP operation you're trying to do. [15:05] what's the ubuntu equivalent to rc-update show on gentoo? [15:05] Kartagis: update-rc.d? read man update-rc.d and see if its the same thing [15:05] duane: nuatilus is, after all, not an FTP application - it just has the ability to do some FTP work. [15:05] duane: try filezilla or something [15:05] new2linux: yes, but keep in mind that you need to satisfy dependencies. Where you have to click is how the website is designed, it has nothing to do with what OS you are using when you view it [15:05] duane, ftpd and filezilla are better. =P [15:05] thanks moveax [15:05] movedx, thanks. It is not even communicating with the server..Though it shows "waiting for.." live http headers is not showing any communication.. What could be a work around you would suggest [15:05] and spacemoose [15:05] sparkyy, [15:06] how do i open a file with the extension of .db [15:06] i think it has to be with my ftp not showing my true ip [15:06] beyta: can't find any option to disable/enable write access on RAID disks :-( [15:06] i'm trying to change my icon theme in thunar, does anyone know how to do this? also, where should i extract icon themes that i download? [15:06] pappan: sounds like the connection between your PC and the remote server, or a very odd software fault. [15:06] legend2440, I was actually talking about the /etc/ folder :D [15:06] pappan did you try moving /.mozilla to /.mozilla.backup ? [15:06] pappan: Have you tried clearing your cache and trying again, after a complete restart of FF? [15:06] LeChacal: db seems like a generic extension for some form of database file [15:06] righto, I'll ask another time [15:06] 'night [15:06] LeChacal: need more info then that [15:06] yeah I did..I tried restarting the OS many times too [15:07] LeChacal: What does `file yourfile.db` return?

Would I simply re-create user accounts on the fast PC to match the family members and then move the /home directories over so everyone kee [15:28] ps their email/documents/etc?

[15:47] mohkohn, to see your iptables configuration do "sudo iptables -L" [15:47] Xerxes: I suppose it should be fine then [15:47] the only way for me to bring up my wireless card w/ static ip is to change my pairwise and group settings to CCMP and back to TKIP (my actual router setting), and after reboot i have to do the same thing. any thoughts? [15:47] damn [15:47] the gfx card shouln't cause a prob ;) [15:47] fuck [15:47] I heard there is a new stable version, 8.0 s is that correct?

[17:28] ok [17:28] I'm using an Nvidia Geforce MX200 graphics card [17:28] i'm using ebox but it doesn't have any apache/ mysql admin tools, what's a good system to run alongside ebox - i looked at webmin but it does a lot of what ebox does [17:28] I´m using a nvidia geforce 9000 Someone where I can find driver ? [17:28] Jack_Sparrow: The standard install will put lilo there if Grub does not support the filesystem. [17:28] there's no such card as a 9000 [17:28] unless you mean 9000 series... [17:28] dafty, ok you've lost me [17:28] what a good program for mounting iso images? [17:28] but i find the linux version of th drivers [17:28] Mr Sparrow, I had to use lilo because of a Dell Optiplex conflict [17:28] I´m using a nvidia geforce 9 Someone where I can find driver ?

In the open file dialog box there is a "Stream/Save" option at the bottom. Enable this. Then click "Settings". Here choose file and specify a filename. Then slect an encapsulation method - either Ogg or Wav. Choose an audio codec. I have had good results using ogg encapsulation with the vorb codec but have also used the flac codec to get an uncompressed file. [17:30] and scroll to the bottom and turn off "simple file sharing" [17:30] EmJay: no it is not, there are two files in this directory called flashplugin-alternative.so and libvlcplugin.so [17:30] your user accounts on the XP machine will need passwords. [17:30] dafty, hold on, couldyou explain why i am turning off file-sharing in xp when i want to netowrk the two computers [17:30] the key word here jope is "simple file sharing" [17:30] not "file sharing" in its' entirity [17:30] please try and read what i type [17:31] dafty, ok well in that case id rather set up a network if its possible [17:31] what do you mean set up a network?

Some files I was working on a day or two ago have either reverted back to a previous state - including the filenames have changed or they have disappeared and the old files have reappeared. This has happened a couple of times in the last few days. I know I saved the new versions - and then I renamed them as well. One brand new file has also disappeared. I am beginning to think I am going mad - this is not just ordinary user [17:36] Ursinha: then how can top help ? :) [17:36] JonathanEllis: I might have been a bit unclear.

[17:38] One thing thought, this problem is cross OS [17:38] cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver [17:38] @ funddevi [17:38] ... but I thought ubuntu will be the better place to fix it, due to the avialability of tools [17:38] sinan, guess you should read its man page [17:38] sinan is it a laptop by any chance [17:38] ? [17:38] daftykins: nop, desktop [17:39] sinan, there are plenty of options, since lsof lists all opened files [17:39] adc: on my system there are a few dirs under lib only for firefox. i have mozilla mozilla-firefox firefox firefox-3.0b5 and firefox-plugins - maybe it is in one of these [17:39] i've fixed a compaq laptop for a friend once and the hard disk light would stay on when it wasn't really reading the disk [17:39] is there anyone here, hwo have time to help me to get acces to a partion with files, filesystem ntfs from ubunto. first time i use ubuntu and i have read about fstab file.

[17:39] Ursinha: thanks, checking the man page :) [17:39] http://pastebin.com/m5427a48f [17:39] i didn't, it was purely the light telling lies ;) [17:39] !ntfs | raginghawk [17:39] it survived OS reinstalls [17:39] raginghawk: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [17:39] so i just gave up [17:39] tzd: OK. Well in that case you will have to consult the documentation or user group for the particular distribution of linux installed on your router. I am surprised it needs a swap partition - usually that is used for memory hungry applications where they demand more memory than is physically available or more often so that the applications in the foreground use physical memory and the apps in the background use the swap file. I am guessing it woul [17:39] raginghawk permanent mount or one time [17:39] oh wait no that system wasn't the light, it was phantom processor load [17:40] sinan, :) [17:40] nothing happened daftykins [17:40] the command returned nothing then?

[17:41] uhm how can i modify my screen res? it only goes to 1024x768 and i want it higher [17:41] funddevi yeah you could reinstall, though i'd be more tempted to check whether there is any documented lack of support for old legacy geforce 2 hardware with the nvidia driver that comes in 8.04 [17:42] !fixres | cristi1990 [17:42] cristi1990: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[17:58] question [17:58] hi is there anyone who can tell me why my firefox-2 keeps crashing all the time?? i just open certain pages and its closing itself.. .:((( [17:59] what version of ubuntu? [17:59] tyberion, run it from terminal..are the pages using java? [17:59] hardy [17:59] hmm firefox 2 huh, it's probably fighting with whatever firefox 3 config you have in your /home directory [17:59] jah@nutshell:~$ INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager [17:59] how i remove Tracker Search Tool from start up? [17:59] tried deleting all hidden entries relating to FF3 in /home ? [18:00]

heheheh yes but no i have problems to get a ( d-link dfe-528tx ) work on mac ( internet pci card ) [18:00] anirudh0: system>admin>system log is how I opened it but I still dont see any way of searching. I am not sure how crontab would help me. [18:00] how i remove Tracker Search Tool from start up? [18:00] i'm currently trying to buy tickets for the phillies game, but the browswer, which asked for security keys, is loading but not getting through, anyone have any idea why? [18:00] anyone has* [18:00] daftykins: yeah.. nuffing there from ff3 :( [18:00] someone can help me with nexuiz patch [18:01] well, it does have info on registering but where do I type it? [18:01] whats that "could not get the plugin manager" error... [18:01] this is the site http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/ticketing/singlegame.jsp?c_id=phi [18:01] JonathanEllis, ctrl+F [18:01] so type it in here?? [18:02] JonathanEllis, opens up a "Find" box [18:02] then after clicking on the "t" under hot tickets, it opens up a window and asks for security keys, however, upon entering, it attempts to load the page but it doesn't get through! [18:02] unlike windows [18:02] JonathanEllis, at the bottom [18:02] !enter>ross [18:02] how i remove Tracker Search Tool from start up? [18:03] tyberion are you sure? even under the name "mozilla" ? [18:03] i just installed hardy on an ibm running vmware. I am getting one fail on boot: cannot mount filesystem: Protocol error. where are the filesystems listed? anybody get this error? [18:03] ross_: page came up for me, but the power ticket popup won't go away === dmb_ is now known as dmb [18:03] daftykins: should I just delete my .mozilla folder?? well I just tried ephyphany web browser.. still the same problem :( [18:03] Uplink, you right click on it and say remove from panel. [18:04] Uplink, in sys->prefs->indexing...there's an option there [18:04] try using the profile manager tyberion [18:04] Uplink: System - Preferences - search [18:04] anirudh0: OK thanks. Well I searched for back backup and back-up but could find no entries. Wouldn't I have to had to setup backups myself anyway? [18:04] but yeah move the ".mozilla" to ".mozillaold" to test [18:04] :| [18:04] i have nexuiz 2.4.0 on hardy64 i would like to update it to 2.4.2 with the patch i downloaded from nexuiz site... i read the guide on the website but i can't find the directories where to unzip those files! [18:04] wow that is annoying as piss [18:04] JonathanEllis, unless you have another sysadmin :) [18:04] should i use cdda2wav or cdparanoia to extract my audio cd ? [18:04] anirudh0: Nope. I'm the only user on this pc [18:04] ross_ not that this helps you but it works for me on gutsy with ff2 [18:05] stefano software in ubuntu is installed via APT to keep it updatable via a simple command, manually overwriting with newer versions will just cause problems. [18:05]

can some give me a macosx86 it isnt a legal apple (mac) irc its a hackintosch irc [18:05] Does ubuntu come with a backup program? [18:05] JonathanEllis, check the timestamp on the files that reappear mysteriously...you can do this via right clicking in nautilus..or by ls -lh in terminal [18:05] JonathanEllis, AFAIK , not by default [18:05] JonathanEllis: there are MANY available, you have to install and configure [18:05] thanks, i know but if i type apt-get upgrade nexuiz nothing happens, even if a new version exists [18:06] !google> p [18:06] what is gutsy with ff2? [18:06] Jack_Sparrow: what is gutsy with gg2 [18:06] daftykins: i just renamed the folder.. and reloaded.. still got this error message here:INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager [18:06] stefano, the newer patch might not have made it to the repos yet [18:06] Jack_Sparrow: anyhow, the site just loads but it doesn't let me through to place the ticket order.... [18:06] jbroome: Thats what I thought, but none come preinstalled? In that case, since I havent installed or configured one then my problem shouldnt be related to backup software [18:06] I think is been like that since I tried to install java plugin.. hmm === aoshi_ is now known as aoshi [18:06] ross firefox2 [18:07] daftikins, anirudh0 thanks a lot, i'll wait then... [18:07] tyberion, purge ff2..delete .mozilla..reinstall..you'll lose extensions and customizations [18:07] ross_ I pressed t and got the page with the prices etc? [18:07] is there a way to list all non-free packages installed? [18:07] Hey all ! I have a problem, ubuntu doesn't see my "DVD burner". I can read from the drive, but I Can't use it to burn CDs/DVDs. Any ideas what to do ? [18:07] hello! i have problem with installation of torbutton. i can't install them on ff 3.0b5 and 2.0 , but early i have normal installation. [18:07] i mean, that the installation was successfull before [18:07] anirudh0: what u mean by *urge*? [18:07] *purge* [18:07] Hi, I have a problem installing Ubuntu in a laptop with WXGA monitor with 1280x800 screen resolution, the screen is distorted and flickering [18:08] tyberion, sorry...apt-get --purge remove firefox-2.0 [18:08] is this in LiveCD mode rcahilig ? [18:08] yes [18:08] anirudh0: ok, will this completeley remove firefox2 with all its stuff? [18:08] daftykins: no, I'm using alternate install cd === pedro is now known as Bagualas [18:08] Jack_Sparrow: now try to enter a number for tickets and then choose your seats [18:08] tyberion, yes...except the .mozilla folder [18:08] how do I change my garmin from a disk to a serial device for gpsd? [18:09] Jack_Sparrow: it will open up a window which asks you for the security keys, and when you enter it, the page just loads [18:09] anirudh0: Odd. One file has create date 6 Feb 08 and accessed 12 May 08. The other created 6 feb 08 and accessed 16 april 08. But I know I have accessed these files much more recently than that. And in fact saved both of them a day or two ago [18:10] anirudh0: is ther any reason for using ff3 instead of ff2??? [18:10] JonathanEllis, _very_ wierd [18:10] is cdparanoia better than cdda2wav ? [18:10] tyberion, check out release notes... [18:10] Hello [18:10] anirudh0: your opinion:)? [18:10] Jack_Sparrow: you seeing what i'm seeing? [18:10] anirudh0: They are both OpenOffice writer templates. I just opened one - well generated a new file and the access date has not changed [18:10] personally i was very surprised that ubuntu would use a beta browser. [18:10] hello, I have an entry in my hosts file which 'host' is ignoring but which I can use to 'ssh machinename' and ping machinename, anyone got any idea why I'm not seeing an ip address being returned? [18:11] Jack_Sparrow: the page just loads, but it doesn't let me through unlike when i'm in windows ;( [18:11] tyberion, gmail works much better...gnome is better supported...the list goes on [18:11] I got a problem with my audio card. I follow the insctructions right here but I have still no sound : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=747054&page=4 [18:11] ross_ I see a shopping cart with one ticket [18:11] Do you have an idea please ? [18:11] I'd strongly recommend Firefox 3, unless you absolutely require incompatible lugins like google Browser Sync, etc [18:11] daftykins, it is beta only in the widest sense of the term...almost no random crashes [18:11] the rendering is faster, the memory use is lower, you can scale images and it's got nicer tabs :D [18:11] ross_ colorado rockies section 121 row 34 etc [18:11] adc_: found something [18:12] ? [18:12] doc|work what do you mean an IP being returned? as long as you put an entry in /etc/hosts saying "machine x.x.x.x" it should work fine. [18:12] EmJay: what? [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: so you got through [18:12] ross_: It may be a problem with the web-page. They may not have built a standards-compliant page. I had a recent problem that I could only check-in to an airline using internet explorer on windows, not firefox [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: i did not get through [18:12] JonathanEllis, frankly, i'm flummoxed...unless you edited the files as another user... [18:12] daftykins: I have them the other way around, and they're not [18:12] EmJay: no unfortunately i couldnt figure it out. i followed the link given above but this didnt help yet [18:12] daftykins: should work :/ but aren't [18:12] sorry yes IP first [18:12] Jack_Sparrow: you got through the page after word verification, correct? [18:13] have you tried restarting the networking service ? [18:13] daftykins: in fact, it's happening with a number of entries [18:13] anirudh0: As I said before, I think I (or my computer) am going mad. I only have one username on this pc. Its also rather odd that ubuntu rolled itself back from 8.04 to 7.10 [18:13] otherwise you may need to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and re-configure the line "hosts:" [18:13] daftykins: have restarted the entire machine (started before I left work yesterday) [18:13] you can comment out the current "host:" line and simply put a new one "hosts: files dns" [18:13] hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 [18:13] then see if it works. [18:13] correct [18:13] daftykins: ok [18:14] ross_ Since it wants my email and credit card # to finish .. yes, it got through [18:14] Jack_Sparrow: so...how do i get pass the "please wait we're looking for the best seats for you.?" [18:14] I like to format a 4GB SD Card ..how can I do it [18:14] Jack_Sparrow: blah i'm not getting through the site [18:14] treonaut plug it in [18:14] should appear on the desktop [18:14] JonathanEllis, hmmm...auto rollback...thats a first :) [18:14] right click [18:14] hello! i was wondering if i can add more locations to the gnome locations than the ones there... my city is not in there and i want to add it [18:14] is there a format option? [18:14] ross_ Like I said, I dont know.. but only that it does work in Gutsy and the old firefox [18:14] JonathanEllis, if i did;nt know better, i'd say it was a poltergeist at work [18:14] where? daftykins [18:14] where what. [18:14] anirudh0: Well its an option in windows. But didnt think it was in ubuntu [18:14] be more specific [18:15] daftykins: done and restarted networking, no change [18:15] when i say update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun i get the result No alternatives for firefox-javaplugin.so. [18:15] JonathanEllis, sure no one is messing with your system?...have you set up autologin by any chance [18:15] ross_ I guess you could boot a gutsy livecd and get the tickets .. if you are pressed for time [18:15] anirudh0: I see only two users. Me and root [18:15] daftykin you said: plug it in [18:15] you wouldn't have needed to have restarted a service for that to work [18:15] what is the host system doc|work ? [18:15] daftykins: ok, well, still not working :) [18:15] adc: if sun-java6-plugin dosn't work - maybe try installing java-gcj-compat-plugin - that is the open source java [18:15] default ubuntu desktop/server 8.04 ? [18:15] daftykins: another machine on my network [18:16] anirudh0: no autologin and unless they are burgling the house... But in that case I would expect them to steal stuff not just mess with my head [18:16] adc_, or the icedtea java plugin [18:16] daftykins: the machine trying to connect from or to. It's from heron to a freebsd box [18:16] JonathanEllis, lol [18:16] question: is it possible to cache the liveCD in memory and have it use that copy? I want to burn a CD while running off of the liveCD... [18:16] anirudh0: And who would bother retrieving files from the trash and deleting others? [18:16] Hi, i screwed up my panels and i dont see my open applications anymore, any way to reset or fix? [18:16] JonathanEllis: you should install unhide and check for hidden processes [18:16] !panels [18:16] Factoid panels not found [18:17] !panel [18:17] Factoid panel not found [18:17] that's a very pointless idea jonaskoelker [18:17] Jack_Sparrow: well no, that's not the problem, i just want to be able to buy tickets regularly without having to do gutsy stuff or booting into windows : ( [18:17] saki, add the applications again via "add to panel" [18:17] Jack_Sparrow: so can you please clarify for me once again what's the real problem here? [18:17] daftykins, not really [18:17] lolzer: Could it be a virus? Are there such things on linux? [18:17] anirudh0: what do u add so it can show the applications that are currently open? [18:17] no [18:17] so what happens when you type "ping machine" doc|work ? [18:17] not generally speaking [18:17] !panels [18:17] Factoid panels not found [18:17] ross_ Not sure.. I dont have Hardy or FF3 on this box [18:17] JonathanEllis, not unless one got written specially for you :) [18:17] jack_sparrow: ive maked it :) soooo happy, thanks to you and everyone else who helped me. :) [18:17] daftykins: how so? [18:17] daftykins: that works :/ [18:17] raginghawk glad you got it [18:17] oh ok found it [18:18] thank you :) [18:18] !reset [18:18] Factoid reset not found [18:18] oh so it wasn't just that which you needed working? i might've read your problem wrong then... ? [18:18] JonathanEllis, other things being equal..i'd recommend either creation of a new user...or a reinstall [18:18] ive mounted my first partition on a linux os... ;) [18:18] sorry folks, cant remember the trigger for resetting the panels [18:18] ah you said the prog "host" is ignoring it [18:18] To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » [18:18] ok [18:19] sorry doc|work [18:19] daftykins: 'host machinename' isn't working, and it seems certain ways of resolving the ip address aren't, but ping and ssh can both connect to the machine using the machinename [18:19] np [18:19] anirudh0: When I upgraded, I cloned my hard-drive to a spare first, just in case. Should I start from scratch? Just that it may take a long time to get back to where I am - especially setting up the printer [18:19] yeah i think you need a proper DNS server entry for "host" [18:19] I have a php script which is trying to resolve but is failing [18:20] daftykins: oh well, despite it being a pointless idea, is it possible? [18:20] EmJay: when i go to javatester.org it says that java 1.6 from sun is installed and looks good, maybe it is the applet on that particular page, it gives me a Start: java not initialized when i start that applet [18:20] anirudh0: I read somewhere about a method to generate a list of installed packages and then reinstall from the list. Or might that cause the same problems? [18:20] JonathanEllis, first try creating a new user...maybe something's messed up with your user's settings...are system files also facing the same problem [18:20] are you just trying to produce a simple platform by which to write discs without having an installed OS jonaskoelker ? [18:20] JonathanEllis, one sec [18:20] anirudh0: Another problem since upgrading is that sane doesnt work anymore so maybe a clean install would be better. Oh god!!!!!!!!! [18:21] !clone | JonathanEllis [18:21] JonathanEllis: 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 [18:21] daftykins: crap, any alternative? this is just for a local machine. [18:21] anirudh0: Oops. Sorry [18:21] JonathanEllis, very rarely have i heard of an upgrade going perfectly. [18:21] daftykins: no; I have one box, one CD drive. I have an old liveCD and want to burn a new one [18:21] a quick scan of the man page for "host" shows it's a DNS util, so i think it requires more setup i'm afraid - unless i knew more about what you're doing that's failing like what that PHP use is then i'm afraid i think DNS'd be needed [18:22] anirudh0: this one seems to have caused a *lot* of problems :/ [18:22] Jack_Sparrow: hi again [18:22] why not install the old OS to that system then copy the newer version ISO to it to burn? [18:22] anirudh0: In other words, you recommend a clean install? Is dpkg likely to clone my problems from one machine to another? [18:22] Jack_Sparrow: so what do i need to do to buy tickets lollll [18:22] a little wasted time to install the old OS i know, but why not ;x [18:22] daftykins: arse, ok, thanks, any suggestions on a way to set up a local dns server easily? [18:22] JonathanEllis, dpkg only clones packages [18:22] funnily enough i'm wrestling with BIND9 right now doc|work XD [18:22] ross_ No idea... but someone will know [18:22] anirudh0: So the packages would be fresh versions? [18:23] JonathanEllis, I seriously doubt that your problems are due to some bug in some package [18:23] daftykins: because it takes ages. Besides, I have the necessary hardware to be able to do what I want, so it should be able to happen ;) [18:23] JonathanEllis, yes. [18:23] and progress is not great, it's pretty heavy a service [18:23] daftykins what about a bootable usb with ubuntu [18:23] Hi... I have a Geforce f5200 board.. suddenly (reboot) my resolution change (from 1280x1024) to 640x480 and I can't fix it... The system said that the driver can't be used, I change the nvidia-glx-new uninstall by Sinaptic and install the nvidia-glx withouth success... someone can help me? [18:23] Jack_Sparrow: who should i ask? ; ( [18:23] anirudh0: OK. Well thanks. Guess I have a day of fun coming up real soon then! [18:23] i think my problem is just that it's a very simple problem to get around but jonaskoelker wants an incredibly radical solution to simply get around laziness [18:24] ross_ form the best/most complete question you can and be aptient while someone tries to come up with an answer [18:24] (no offence intended) [18:24] JonathanEllis, well...periodic installs do build character :) [18:24] daftykins: I take it you don't write perl? ... Laziness is a cardinal virtue [18:24] ross_, you could try running IE under wine, in case the problem is that the site requires IE [18:24] that i don't ;) [18:25] anirud0: ah - that could work yes [18:25] anirud0: however [18:25] anirudh0 I just got through with gutsy and ff2 [18:25] running hardy: getting a distr. update: libmono cairo.... [18:25] anirud0: i had no problem buying tickets while in windows and i used mozilla : ( [18:25] anirud0: so is the problem the browser or the OS? that's my questions [18:25] question* [18:25] hi, i'm having a problem with screen resolutions. i mucked up my xorg.conf once, and this GUI for editing xorg.conf came up. anyone know how to bring that up again? looks like xorg-edit, but that's a "command not found" [18:25] ross_, interesting...and you would have used ff2 as well i suppose? [18:26] ross_, the os is very unlikely to be the problem in any case [18:26] ross_, i meant when you bought tickets under windows? [18:26] anirudh0: Hmmm. Thats an interesting way of putting it. I had hoped all that was gone now I am not running windows. The reason I came to ubuntu is that windows xp was broken and I have installed windows so many times then spent a whole day or three downloading all the security updates etc before reinstalling all my apps. At least dpkg should save me a lot or work [18:26] !browsers [18:26] 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) [18:26] "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" suspect43 [18:26] hi there , i have sound, i have startup sound, but no shutdown sound ( and it is set ), any tips what could be the issue? [18:26] ross_ it would not take long to try one of those others [18:27] JonathanEllis, i guess i would have installed ubuntu about 24 times now...over 2 years since 6.06 [18:27] daftykins: that has just keyboard configuration. no resolutions [18:27] unimatrix9: is that really a problem worth debugging just to get shutdown sound? [18:27] JonathanEllis, an upgrade always caused problems for me [18:27] anirudh0: God! Why so many times [18:27] I **** my windows registry, is there anyway to edit it from linux? [18:28] what did you do to it? :O [18:28] anirud0: yes, i was able to get through word verification in windows [18:28] anirud0: but here, i can't [18:28] the problem with upgrades is that every system has different dependency requirements and sometimes things just get fuzzed. [18:28] depends on your view, i was just wondering if some one has the same issue , or even better know a solution [18:28] ross_, ff2 in windows?..thats the same browser Jack_Sparrow used [18:28] anirud0: so this is kinda strange, [18:28] Messed with some language keys, now it bsod's on boot [18:28] in IT the word "upgrade" in the context of operating system installations done any way other than clean install is often a very very bad idea [18:28] Is there any way to carry configs over with dpkg? [18:28] hi, how do I set the name resolv order? some time ago you could have modified hosts.conf to set order hosts,bind. now what? [18:29] I know whats wrong, i have some keys to replace them, but dont know how to get them in [18:29] hi, does anybody know what happened to aegis antivirus in ubuntu repos?, it doesn't appear [18:29] JonathanEllis, no AFAIK...but ubuntu does "import settings"...never tried that though [18:29] anirud0: you wanna try it? [18:29] Thecaptain2000: /etc/hosts.conf [18:29] /etc/nsswitch.conf Thecaptain2000 has a "Hosts:" line [18:29] er, or what daftykins said [18:30] JonathanEllis, i was experimenting with every linux distro i could lay hands on..started linux with 6.06..as a result had to repartion the drive many time..hence the large number of installs [18:30] anirud0: http://philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com/ticketing/singlegame.jsp?c_id=phi, click on any of the green "t"s [18:30] daftykins: in nsswitch do I put hosts, bind? === n8ature_ is now known as n8ature [18:30] anirud0: now enter a number of tickets you are buying and click any of the seats or just best available [18:30] anirud0: enter in the word verification stuff and click enter [18:30] anirudh0: So now I dont know which hd to repartition. Erase my 7.10 installation or the new 8.04 one. But if I want to import settings I guess I would need one or other of them on a visible partition. I am running out of spare hard disks! [18:31] comment out the current line "Hosts: blah" and enter a new one "Hosts: files dns" [18:31] anirud0: see if you can get through to buy the tickets [18:31] i think this approach is what you need to do anyway, what are you doing exactly? [18:31] JonathanEllis, as i said, i have no experience with importing settings...perhaps someone else has though... [18:31] anirudh0: Or should I just do a clean install on a fresh partition, leaving the others in place? [18:31] Good morning [18:31] good afternoon [18:31] ross_, i get an ""address not found" [18:32] hi, i just hit this bug while doing a dist-upgrade to hardy: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/module-init-tools/+bug/208874 [18:32] is there a workaround? [18:32] Launchpad bug 208874 in module-init-tools "module-init-tools post-install script error 2" [Undecided,New] [18:32] Enkidu_ak: Good evening [18:32] in /etc/nsswitch.conf I have a line saying hosts: files dns mdns4 if I want the content of the file hosts to take the precedence, how do I modify the line? [18:32] JonathanEllis, ubuntu needs to "see" a partition to import settings from it [18:32] good daybreak [18:32] anirud0: wow [18:32] as i just said, comment out the current line "Hosts: blah" and enter a new one "Hosts: files dns" [18:32] hello, im trying to use bootcdwrite to make a full livedvd of my ubuntu and I get this error or warning, SRCDISK does not fit on DVD (Needed > DVD) does it means the iso wont fit on a dvd because of the size? [18:32] Well thanks to all. I have something to think about now! [18:32] anirud0: i got to where it just loads (Please wait while we're looking for the best seats) but i wouldn't let me trhough [18:33] ok, I'll try that [18:33] anirud0: so anyhow, do you think it's the browser or the os? === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [18:33] so I'm typing and as I do up pops a window from synaptic, I hit space, and something gets agreed/rejected. I don't even know what it was.... Anyone know how I can find out? [18:33] how do you fully override hicolor icon theme? [18:33] ross_, from Jack's experience ...browser [18:33] the window stole focus :/ [18:33] hi [18:33] if I apply a custom theme, not all the icons in the theme will be used. Some will still use the icon in hicolor [18:34] how do I solve this? [18:34] pen, the theme is incomplete...nothing you can do [18:34] leaving [18:34] anirudh0, what do you mean incomplete? if [18:34] is there any chance that Ubuntu 8 will recogonize my wireless adapter? WG311T (Netgear 11.g) [18:34] how do you find the popularity of some packages? [18:34] anirud0: ok - but...what's the difference...i used the same browser in windows and i had no problem getting through....so why now...? [18:34] or am I going to have to do some crazy ndiswrapper nonsense? [18:35] burn it and boot into LiveCD mode and see. [18:35] pen u have to modify the names of icons that are not shown to fit to ur gnome names of icos, see what are the names of a theme icon and change the ones that dont shown in the current theme u are trying to see [18:35] is it a PCI card or what? [18:35] dafty @ me ? PCI yes [18:36] I am attempting to generate a CSR from the command line using "openssl req -key -out ". The command executes and asks for my key passphrase, which I enter, but then I am presented with a blank line. No prompt for further information, and as far as I can tell, it will sit there indefinitely. I can kill the process, of course, but that wasn't the behavior that I was expecting from openssl. I am using openssl 0.9.8e with [18:36] why left me a message then leave? [18:36] where is the system shutdown script located?

[18:39] use that for your application launcher. [18:39] it was supported in 7.10 jagggy [18:39] daftykins, but not in hardy... [18:39] hardy is newer [18:40] hence has support [18:40] :P [18:40] can anyone help me? my pc doesnt recognize blank cd-rs anymore [18:40] daftykins, still not the anwser i seek, is it suported or not ? [18:41] listen [18:41] jagggy: 3945 is working fine right now for me. [18:41] i just told you it is supported in an OLDER version of Ubuntu, that makes it supported in a NEWER version, logic dictates [18:42] hi there channel :) [18:42] so yes, 8.04 hardy, 3945abg, YES [18:42] daftykins, false statement, it was unsuported when it started.... [18:42] daftykins: unless support was removed, as sometimes happens :) [18:42] (when hardy started) [18:42] daftykins, we do get regression bugs unfortunately now and again [18:42] well i have a laptop with that chipset for wireless [18:42] and it works [18:42] anyone know why I can't change the number of desktops? [18:42] so what more do you want me to say 0o [18:42] it reverts back to 1 when I close it [18:42] hi [18:42] daftykins, thats what i wanted, a simple yes, ty :) [18:42] where can i find nice wallpaper?

[18:43] okay, found this: http://fosswire.com/2007/08/17/ubuntu-getting-xorgconf-gui/ . i've seen exactly this gui come up when i screwed up my xorg.conf. how do i bring this up again? [18:43] where I can Paste which is the url [18:43] because nautilus is the file browser application [18:43] oooh [18:43] Hi, what can I do when a bug report don't have responses for a long time ? [18:43] by simply telling an application launcher a path, it doesn't know what to do with it [18:43] well that explains it [18:44] ;) [18:44] it's pretty basic [18:44] can anyone help me how to installing ubuntu [18:44] and use mirc [18:44] I am new and trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Server, but none of my SATA drives are detected. On the drive selection list, what should I choose? [18:44] download and burn the ISO of desktop [18:44] put it in and boot from it [18:44] sorry im very new, im trying to migrate over from xp/vista because of the horrible affects vista has on my new laptop [18:44] Hi, after detecting I have an ATI chipset, enabling the 3rd party drivers and restarting, my screen resolution has gone DOWN, also my monitor isn't recogonized though I don't know if it ever was.. how can I address this? [18:44] install it, get to desktop and use synaptic to install "xchat" [18:44] mekata, use xchat on ubuntu it is similar to but much exceeds mirc [18:44] anyone know why I can't change the number of desktops? [18:44] can anyone help me please where to paste? [18:45] i already use mirc but i want to adding remote [18:45] i cant add remote in xchat [18:45] dury: pastebin [18:45] dury: http://paste.ubuntu.com [18:45] use mIRC under wine then [18:45] carib: the installer will probably detect the drive on which it will install. [18:45] and eh, is 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) suported in hardy? if so i need to upgrade :) [18:45] Installer did not detect any drives at all. === nico- is now known as nico|afk [18:46] Hello people, what can I do when a bug report don't have responses for a long time ? [18:46] Xchat is good, and mIRC works well under WINE [18:46] that's just a chipset reference, it contains no specific information on what the audio controller is [18:46] are you sure there's not a second line from "lspci" ? [18:46] irssi>* [18:46] carib: you will have to consult your hardware manufacturer. [18:46] daftykins, Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) ain't that the sound driver? :s [18:47] check out the most awesomeness mockup for colored themes in ubuntu http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/317/coloredthemeyz9.png and if you like that, then vote for it http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/9190/ [18:47] Thanks Robg [18:47] no that is the chipset. not the software driver [18:47] why does enabling the 3rd party ATI drivers end up reducing my total screen resolution options? [18:47] no, it simply says that the audio controller is a high definition device [18:47] dang :( well i'll take a bet on it that it will work so, lets upgrade [18:47] Hello my sound card working grate but my microphone not working any ideas ? , Thanks [18:47] probably because the new drivers read new information from your monitor and so reduces resolutions you can use kshah [18:48] is it a CRT or LCD? [18:48] please, does anyone know how to fix this? how do i enable widescreen monitor in xorg.conf? [18:48] hello people [18:48] how do I install packages for english language... now it's in spanish and basque [18:48] what video player has the most skins? [18:49] spiderfire: xine has a few as does mplayer [18:49] suspect43 are you having problems even after running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ? [18:49] daftykins: LCD, Hyundia L90D+ that was what i suspected [18:49] daftykins: yes [18:49] is it because the menus in that prog do not have your 1280x800 suspect43 ? [18:49] daftykins: unfortunately i have no idea where i'm going to find the monitor drivers [18:49] monitors do not need drivers kshah [18:50] daftykins: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't ask about screen resolutions at all, only keyboard settings. [18:50] are you using this computer now kshah? [18:50] daftykins: yes [18:50] did you definitely type "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ? [18:50] daftykins: yes [18:50] well you could try running this same program i'm talking to suspect43 about, kshah [18:50] daftykins: yes, I did that as per a post on a forum [18:51] kshah: did it ask about screen resolutions at all? [18:51] daftykins: okay, I'll scroll up :) [18:51] no it didn't [18:51] yeah [18:51] same prob [18:51] it asked me about keyboard layout and mice [18:51] hmm you're right [18:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/15371/ [18:51] spiderfire, mplayer has lots of skins [18:51] i just ran the program on ubuntu server and it only asked about keyboard config yes [18:52] !who | daftykins [18:52] daftykins: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[18:53] hi i have been having problems with the grub loader === brocebeats is now known as brocebesleepn [18:53] you might want to describe what you mean there Don_Miguel [18:53] okay, i added the horizsync and vertrefresh values. now i can select from lots of resoltuins, but when i select 1440x900 i get this weird square resolution [18:53] anyone here using awn on hardy? [18:53] instead of widescreen [18:53] i take it you've tried running system -> preferences -> screen resolution -> "detect displays" suspect43 and kshah ? [18:54] yes [18:54] ssupect what monitor do you have? [18:54] daftykins: yes, to no avail [18:54] suspect43: Sun Java gave me 1440 x 900 on a standard 19". I did not have to intervene. [18:54] HP w1907 widescreen lcd. native res is 1440X900@60 [18:54] anyone know why my server install logs in as root automatically? [18:54] i mean that there are the old versions in the grub loader which i want to remove [18:55] how do you install extras specificly file-browser-manager.py? [18:55] robg_: very helpful, thank you. you've trolled me before, so please stop. [18:55] if lsusb tells me that a device is connected on for example bus 005 device 002, how do I find the corresponding /dev file? [18:55] raistlinmaje7, dmesg should tell you [18:55] raistlinmaje7 : type "dmesg | tail" [18:56] raistlinmaje7, might try disconnecting and reconnecting and then look at the bottom of dmesg [18:56] daftykins: it looks like my only option is a manual edit of xorg.conf, right? [18:56] gaurav_: are you talking about the menu choices that come up in GRUB ? [18:56] daftykins can u help me with the grub loader [18:56] most likely kshah yes, if you're sure the graphics driver is good enough to support it [18:56] tried that, doesn't help much [18:56] and then? I get usb4-1 [18:56] what's wrong with GRUB? [18:56] is that a dev file? [18:56] yes don miguel [18:56] !grub | kshah [18:56] daftykins: i believe it will, thanks [18:57] i get a list of resolutions, but when i select them i don't get the actual res [18:57] kshah: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[18:58] you might've forgotten to enter a pass during setup [18:58] what ver of server? [18:58] interestingly, i had windows dual booted on this machine, the installation became corrupt and I had to force the windows partition to mount yesterday in Ubuntu to recover my data [18:58] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> where do you find all these bot commands? [18:58] gaurav_: I think you want to be VERY fast when grub loads, [18:59] <_0tt0v0nc4t_> for ubottu [18:59] hello, its not possible to blacklist the speedstep-centrino module and load the acpi-cpufreq. :( ive did something wrong and now it seems like its not turning back. [18:59] dafkins - 8.04 server [18:59] how can i get acpi-cpufreq as standard? === LoHung is now known as skillet [18:59] hallo [18:59] how can i get the physics working on my kiba dock [18:59] hmm i've installed 8.04 server several times recently and not had that problem [18:59] hey all, i'm having some video problems. I'm trying to use nvidia-settings, but it tells me i'm not using its X driver. so, i do what it says and run nvidia-xconfig. It modifies my xorg.config file. i restart my X server, and nvidia-settings still tells me that i'm not using the X driver. the main problem is that im stuck at 800x600. i should be at 1280x800 [19:00] daftykins: it would appear that everyone is experiencing the detection problem, perhaps it would be worthy as a channel topic... [19:00] gaurav_: I think you want to be VERY fast when grub loads, and you can then carefully edit those lines of text in the menu ... read the info in the links shown before ( scroll back up for those ) [19:00] i am a really new linux user and i can't find how to install the drivers for my modem any idea ? [19:00] smehmood "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep driver" in terminal [19:00] hi all, just setup a barebones pc kit that came with evga 650i mobo, 2gb ram, and sata hd (supposed to be 250 gb) but windows setup sees it as 130gb. Wanted to install ubuntu linux but system hangs at some reference to sata....so that is why I went with windows. Could there be something I need to setup in the bios? [19:01] da_samus: what's the name of the modem [19:01] were i more regular here, topic considerations would be viable perhaps, if this channel works that way ;) [19:01] Hi everyone. I suppose this isn't a ubuntu-specific question, but since I'm on a ubuntu machine, I'll ask here. Is there any way to determine the maximum number of hard links you can make to one file? If so, how can I do it? [19:01] If I don't do nosplash it hangs on the ubuntu logo with the orange bar stuck [19:01] how come my dvd burner doesnt recognize cd-rs anymore [19:01] daftykins: that's odd... it came up empty. i thought i saw a driver line in there, but at this point, ive looked at tons of xorg.conf's [19:01] (On ext3, to be clear.) [19:01] daftykins: so there's no driver specified... what's the best way to rectify this? [19:01] Dante123 windows XP pre- service pack 1 has a logical block addressing limitation that prevents it seeing disks bigger than 127GB, you need to install to a small partition for C: and then upgrade service pack for it to see the disk properly [19:01] so which /dev file is 4-1? [19:02] otherwise Dante123 slipstream service pack 3 into an installation CD and XP setup will see it correctly during installation [19:02] pastebin your dmesg please raistlinmaje7 [19:02] after just having plugged the USB key in [19:02] daftykins: oh, that's because it should have been 'grep Driver' it is specified, as "nvidia" in my file [19:02] How can I know if a spesific nvidia card is supported? [19:02] its not a usb key, its a usb device, I just want to get raw input [19:02] has anyone here compiled libfprint? [19:02] ffm: check the hardware compatibility list [19:03] cerebrate: which is where? [19:03] also, there are all of two lines, do I have to pastebin that? [19:03] ffm: one second while I find it [19:03] My router isn't getting my Ubuntu machine's host name.. is there a common reason why that might be? [19:03] it's a D-Link EBR-2310 [19:03] ffm: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia [19:03] does it matter that the router does not see its' hostname? [19:03] it sees my Windows box fine [19:03] well, no, but it used to [19:04] was just wondering why [19:04] cerebrate: merci [19:04] have you upgraded version between then and now? [19:04] daftykins I really want ubuntu on this machine but it keeps hanging and won't install. This is quad core do I need a 64 bit version of Ubuntu? Shouldn't 32 install? [19:04] hi === celtic_ is now known as EmJay_ [19:04] no 32-bit is fine Dante123 [19:04] yes, I did a fresh install [19:04] is it possible to log to shell as root without waisitng time 100 a day writing sudo ? [19:04] are you booting a ubuntu 8.04 desktop i386 CD Dante123 ? [19:05] can I reinit the process which reads xorg.conf w/o rebooting? or does that imply restarting X? [19:05] kibibyte: just type in su [19:05] daftykins yes I am [19:05] "sudo su" before running stuff kibibyte === EmJay_ is now known as EmJay| [19:05] it's simply restarting X yes, kshah [19:05] raistlinmaje7, daftykins but i want log as root to terminal [19:05] ctrl+alt+backspace in X, or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [19:05] thanks again [19:05] np [19:05] that will do it [19:05] Would ubuntu 64bit be able to utilze 192GB ram? [19:06] * EmJay| is back [19:06] how can i make acpi-cpufreq the preferred module? [19:06] EU [19:06] 192!? [19:06] blacklisting speedstep-centrino didnt helped. :( [19:06] up to several terabytes of RAM i think yes debian [19:06] daftykins could there be a bios setting that needs to be setup that might be causing the problem....or perhaps graphics [19:06] daftykins: 16exebytes to be exact, max with 64bit. [19:06] why ask if you knew the sum. [19:07] What about 4 quad cores? [19:07] daftykins: Just making sure... [19:07] possibly Dante123, can you take a digicam picture of where it stalls? [19:07] hang on...will try [19:07] Question. Can I burn the Ubuntu CD to a DVD disc? [19:08] sure sagredo [19:08] should apic mode be enabled or disabled in bios daftykins [19:08] sagredo: not the iso i think... [19:08] sagredo: DVD costs more than CD. [19:08] XD [19:08] does a folder have to be executable in order to cd into it? [19:08] robg_: Not if you steal them from work [19:08] robg_: all I have is a DVD [19:08] whos using windows [19:08] debian: it's the iso [19:08] i'm not familiar with ever needing to play with an "APIC" mode in BIOS, and i'm very experienced with configuring BIOSs Dante123 [19:08] kdubois: no [19:08] sagredo: we use CD because it is cheap. [19:08] sagredo: What os are you running? [19:08] I don't think so kdubois [19:08] To burn the disk? [19:09] daftykins i have to do nosplash to get any results that might be useful...hang on...Okay will leave apic as is [19:09] then why if i do chmod -x *, i cant get in any of my folders? [19:09] you don't really need to disable nosplash Dante123, you can switch between screens using ctrl+alt+ function keys from F1 to F12 to see boot progress, unless it properly locks up i guess... [19:10] also, can I image a usb flash drive to an ISO? [19:10] lol folders can't be executable [19:10] daftykins what about memory timing in bios [19:10] don't run "chmod +x *" that will break things. [19:10] what are you trying to do kdubois ? === EmJay| is now known as EmJay [19:10] I want to run a system with four quad cores, would Ubuntu support this? [19:10] please can someone help me in editng my grub loader [19:10] Hi guys. [19:10] debian, sure, why not? [19:10] debian: it should. [19:11] debian the hardware you're talking about really doesn't sound like something appropriate for a more home user system like ubuntu ;x [19:11] i want to remove the previos versions [19:11] so X doesn't appear to be reading from xorg.conf. I tried blanked the file so it only contained a newline, and deleting it completely, and neither had any effect. does anyone know why this is the case? [19:11] ltracy_: I need a strange kernel [19:11] debian, why strange? [19:11] my /etc/X11 dir has tons of [19:11] daftykins: i'm trying to determine if a folder needs to be executable in order to cd into it [19:11] xorg.conf.\d+ [19:11] daftykins: Not? If I want to play games, then it is best to have the entire HD on a ramdisk. [19:11] daftikins: ubuntu is an industrial quality product. [19:11] SFTP over Nautilus is portraying persistent problems with authentication (a very prominent one being a frozen 'Authentication Required' window). Is there a way for me to help debug this and report it? [19:11] ltracy_: It couldn't be normal... [19:11] smehmood: what directory are you in? [19:12] cerebrate: /etc/X11 [19:12] robg_ that has no relevance to the question at hand [19:12] saying a product is for category x does not define its' hardware support. [19:12] debian, the SMP in the linux kernel supports more than 16 CPU's.. so it'll be fine [19:12] daftykins what about raid? currently disabled [19:12] does anyone know much about V4l? specifically v4l2? [19:12] tdobson: what does the overlay bit mean here: /dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support [19:12] ltracy_: Ok, 4*4=16cores... [19:12] daftikins: Europeans use Ubuntu in business and government. [19:12] Dante123 anything relating to the SATA ports on the chipset may cause the stalling if that's why it stalls after SATA as you say [19:13] a picture woulds till be great though ;) [19:13] is there a way to list all the updates without installing them? something like yum check-update for ubuntu? [19:13] it usually prompts you whether you want to continue anyway so i just run it tRSS [19:13] ... that was a disaster.. now i'm in 800X600 lol [19:13] robg_ : government in germany is def not using linux/ unix [19:14] daftykins: i am actually trying to automate the update process, hence, i just want to list all the updates before actually installing them [19:14] daftykins yes, it seems to stall when doing stuff with sata. Do you have any bios suggestions around that? Raid? [19:14] m4rtz: French Gendarmerie: 80000 units. [19:14] see if it boots disabling all the SATA ports entirely Dante123 [19:14] then you know it's SATA [19:14] so i just fixed my screen resolution problems by deleting both 'xorg.conf' and 'xorg.conf.failsafe'. anyone know what's going on? [19:14] or the HDD you have connected causing ubuntu to stall [19:14] nice ;) that's the way I like it hrhr [19:14] which file might it be reading from now? [19:14] robg_: i read that macedoina is going for 180.000 pc units with ubuntu [19:15] Hi all [19:15] gaurav_:when you first boot up, you have 2-3 seconds to respond and then you can enter grub and edit those "old versions" out ... it does help to read the HOWTO and the other info links ... [19:15] i think it reads the monitors capability on every boot smehmood [19:15] currently all of the sata ports are disabled....with raid disabled in bios [19:15] daftykins [19:15] m11: Europe has no choice. Microsoft is not providing usable product. [19:15] what the heck is the name of that DVD burning software.. === brocebesleepn is now known as brocebeats [19:15] I want change my IRC's password, how to i do? [19:15] all the ports are disabled? surely not? [19:15] /msg ubottu etiquette [19:15] ltracy_: brasero [19:15] robg_: europe has choice and they choose ubuntu ;) [19:15] oops [19:16] maybe I should enable raid and sata 1 where hd is daftykins? [19:16] daftykins: perhaps... but its not like it generated another xorg.conf or xorg.conf.failsafe. so it must be getting configuration settings from some other file [19:16] thanks don but there are old versins of ubuntu which i want to remove [19:16] robg_: in ger they r still using xp or nt [19:16] smehmood no, it's quite feasible for it to have some process auto generating on boot. [19:16] anyone? how do I take "Bus 005 Device 004" and get the corresponding /dev file? [19:16] cerebrate, thanks [19:16] m4rtz: everybody is still on XP but many will migrate to Ubuntu if MS does not provide usable alternative. [19:16] what about acpi function daftykins? Any suggestion there...currenlty enabled [19:16] raistlinmaje7: have you tried running "sudo fdisk -l" and see if it lists the /dev/ of the USB key? [19:17] have nvidia card on hardy compiz enabled Xorg and compiz.real take up 70 to 80 % of cpu .. is that normal ? [19:17] i got a question [19:17] just experiment Dante123 [19:17] this drains my laptop battery very quickly.. [19:17] your computer sounds very odd. [19:17] okay.....will get screen shot on reboot...thanks. [19:17] its not a flash drive [19:17] How to change username IRC password? [19:17] How to change username IRC password? [19:17] * daftykins slaps NamTCM around a bit with a large trout [19:17] don't repeat yourself. [19:17] i don't have a printer, the library does. will i be able to print xcf images from a windows computer? [19:17] What is the easiest way to install ubuntu on a real partition without cd-boot? [19:18] NamTCM go to #freenode [19:18] gaurav_: OH ! then you need to REALLY uninstall them ... editing grub will only remove those entries IN GRUB, they do NOT UNINSTALL any previous versions ... only the links that would load them if they still exist, as I understand it .. [19:18] razaccour: xcf images are gimp project files basically. You'll want to save them as a jpeg most likely [19:18] robg_: join #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss this... cuz I don't see that commin [19:18] I have a question. Is it possible to install ubuntu on a hard drive without altering the boot information on another hard drive with vista installed? [19:18] you know, I've always wondered how people take screenshots while the system is booting [19:18] how do i save them as jpeg? [19:18] Ok, thx [19:19] peachberry: do you have multiple harddrives? [19:19] using virtualisation software like VMWare lolzer [19:19] lolzer: what is this about screenshots while booting? [19:19] hackssilber: yeah [19:19] peachberry: can you not disconnect during install ? [19:19] hello does any one here use ubuntu ? [19:19] I can [19:19] oic. yeah, that makes sense [19:19] uxac [19:19] ah [19:19] peachberry if you want ubuntu to boot as well as Vista, you will need to modify the vista boot HDD [19:19] djtamse, this is #ubuntu [19:19] will that work? just disconnect the vista drive when I'm installing [19:19] unless you're swapping hard disks every time [19:19] ha ha okay im just new here didnt no :-D [19:20] daftykins: I don't want to dual boot [19:20] yes but you'll have to disconnect it every time to boot ubuntu [19:20] or change your boot order in BIOS [19:20] just be able to switch the boot order in BIOS to load which operating system I want. [19:20] very tedious :P [19:20] peachberry, if you make your second drive your master and the vista drive the slave you shouldn't have to alter the vista installation [19:20] im woundering how to get a proper driver to my ati X1300 [19:20] razaccour: if you're in GIMP, go to file -> save as, and then down near the bottom of the dialog box that came up, there's a drop down box that lets you select the filetype [19:20] !ati > djtamse [19:20] thanks [19:20] hacksliber: okay thanks a bunch. so ubuntu won't try to alter the boot table of the vista as long as it's a slave drive? [19:20] ? [19:21] Is there any equivilent CLI program to RedHat's chkconfig program in Debian/Ubuntu? [19:21] that's what i need to find out deltaray2, so set some services on boot in ubuntu server [19:21] peachberry if it can see the vista HDD it will modify it [19:21] deltaray2: sysv-rc-conf [19:21] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? <- I have this error when i'm trying to sudo apt-get install audacious [19:21] Hi everyone [19:21] A simple question: [19:22] lolzer, I don't have that command, is that an extra package to install? [19:22] daftykins i have the photos.....can I send them to you? [19:22] When I cd to /home and list directories, there are some users, just normal. And a home folder "guest" (has no user) whiches background is green. Why is that ? [19:22] deltaray2: you will need to install sysv-rc-conf first then from a terminal : sudo sysv-rc-conf [19:22] use a free hosting website like www.imageshack.us [19:22] daftykins: oh. I'll just disconnect it when I'm installing. what about after I installed it? like will it try to alter the boot table after the initial install? I mean after I install ubuntu on that hard drive with only that hard drive and then connect the vista hard drive. [19:22] tharis20: make sure you don't have synaptic, add/remove programs, or are installing anything else from the command line [19:22] @ Dante123 [19:22] Nevermind [19:22] cerebrate, thanks ;) [19:22] no it won't peachberry [19:22] it'll either run or not run [19:23] daftykins how do I sent them to you? [19:23] daftykins: okay. thanks for the help. I'll give it a try. :) [19:23] use a free hosting website like www.imageshack.us Dante123 [19:23] Anyone please ???? [19:23] ls => directory with green background ; WHY ? [19:24] deltaray2: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf - it's small in size and very useful if you are used to chkconfig [19:24] heya [19:24] it's the second thing I install after firestarter [19:24] Would someone please answer my question? I'm not able to find anything in google. "ls" => directory with green background [19:24] why is that ? [19:25] err.. ubuntuforums down? [19:25] "ls -l" show anything backslash7 ? [19:25] (about its' permissions) [19:25] it worked, thanks very much [19:25] lolzer, thanks [19:25] thanks daftykins. Sure, some directories, one of them has green background, why is that ? [19:25] cerebrate [19:25] welcome [19:25] ah [19:25] wait [19:25] backslash7, cause of permissions [19:26] its prob set to 777 [19:26] root root [19:26] i'm gonna get off here and head to the library [19:26] yall have a great day [19:26] I'd like to use it for a everyone-full-access-samba-share ^^ [19:26] So I just chmod 777 it ? [19:26] hi i have problem with pppoeconf when i write this command in terminal i have this massage Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the modem. [19:27] backslash7: that is probably a very bad security practice, but sure, go ahead [19:27] hardy upgrade /nvidia, have xorg and compiz.real take up 70 / 80 % of cpu . is this normal ? [19:27] backslash7, thats what it is alraedy more then likely... chmod 755 [19:27] Ah of course, files don't need to be executed [19:27] is there any way to make X Vsync? [19:27] ajopaul_: no, that doesn't sound right [19:27] 755 = ? ; 777 = ? cerebrate or skillet [19:28] http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img4399lc1.jpg daftykins [19:28] I get a "403 forbidden" when trying to access web site (locally) through a symboliv link... Help [19:28] cerebrate, any know reasons? [19:28] is there any way to make X Vsync? [19:28] for no apparent reason, when I press on an arrow key in firefox it has a little flashing line just like how a word processor has when you are typing. If i press down, it scrolls down line by line, and on websites that can be sporadic. has this happened to anyone else before? any fix? [19:28] hello i want to know what application (package) is used in live ubuntu cd to support the hotkeys such as Fn+F8 (screen brightness, volume adjustment) ? [19:28] what package does that? [19:29] any one help me [19:29] ??? [19:29] ajopaul_: I have no clue. Make sure you've got the correct nvidia driver installed is about all I can think of [19:29] anyone can say a program to video straming? i need to move direct from camera( by firewire) to server, in windows i have used the Windows Media Encoder [19:29] backslash7, http://www.zzee.com/solutions/linux-permissions.shtml [19:29] CorbinFox: I think that's a feature.. something like cursor navigation [19:29] ShadowBelmolve: check add/remove programs for 'video editing' [19:30] slart: then why would it just start at random? i didnt do anything with any settings or preferences....it is kind of messing with me right now, i don't like this "feature" [19:30] skillet: Just browsing there (through google) :D But thanks [19:30] Hope this works with samba [19:30] CorbinFox: you probably pressed some weirdo key combination by mistake.. I found it the last time it happened to me.. I think I can find it again =) [19:30] ah, i found the setting....i wonder how it got selected...considering i havent been in my firefox preferences in a week or so [19:31] cerebrate, ok, now thats my confusion here.. when most complex 3d function work fine viz games cubes etc. how can i conclude if my driver is incorrect [19:31] cerebrate: return nothing =/ [19:31] is there any way to make X Vsync? [19:32] slart: you know what! earlier today i was turning down my amarok volume (i use a key combo of Winkey and arrows) and it gave me that stupid message of caret browsing (which isnt unusual) but there was another blank window that I just closed without clicking yes or no to. it could have been that [19:32] hi [19:32] CorbinFox: that sounds very plausible [19:32] i'm sorry Dante123 i have no idea what to say about that problem, you can try googling for "ubuntu driver sd" or something but i don't know what to suggest [19:32] ShadowBelmolve: I believe you want to install the program "Kino" [19:32] I just installed a new sata hard drive in my pc [19:32] CorbinFox: ah.. it's F7 [19:32] how do i get ubuntu to recognize, format, and mount it? [19:32] MrGlass [19:32] hmm, i wasnt anywhere near the F# keys [19:32] open a terminal window, type "sudo fdisk -l" [19:33] ajopaul_: go into synaptic, and tell me what nvidia-glx package you are using [19:33] you should be given a line about the new hard disk, correct ? [19:33] ok [19:33] cerebrate: i have kino, but, to sendo the video to server? i have see the icecast2, ah, i need to sendo camera -> server in real-time [19:33] ah well, it is fixed either way, thanks for the help :D [19:33] How can I give full access to a folder and its subfolder for apache (sudo chown -hR apache DIR doesn't works)??? [19:33] hold, ill go try. laptop is 5 feet from the PC [19:33] daftykins I tried puppy linux livecd and it got hung up too....do you think it could be related to dvd drive (only cd type driver there). I have it plugged into mobo ide pins via 80 pin cable that came with mobo....hd is sata [19:33] ShadowBelmolve: That sounds something like using vlc to set up a stream. I'm not entirely sure how to do that, and I don't know what software would be able to do that other than vlc [19:34] although windows installed off dvd drive fine [19:34] it's possible Dante123 i haven't tried booting linux from a PATA CD drive on a modern SATA system so i can't comment [19:34] backslash7: fyi (I was curious) I believe files with a green background like that mean that they have "search permission is granted to others, and the restricted deletion flag is set" [19:35] daftykins: it lists the new hd, in a seperate list from the mounted hd [19:35] daftykins: my desktop uses sata hd's and a pata cd-rom drive. It works with ubuntu fine [19:35] ah okay Pici thank you :D [19:35] Dante123: there should be no problem booting off the drive. [19:35] good good, what /dev/ was it? [19:35] /dev/sdb ? [19:35] cerebrate: i cannot install vlc, says various of dependences is not stable =/ [19:35] yes [19:35] Dante123: I use a PATA optical drive with SATA hard drive and no problems. [19:35] ok "sudo apt-get install gparted" MrGlass [19:35] ShadowBelmolve: attempt to correct that by opening up Synaptic, and finding vlc there. [19:36] k. does that require an internet connection?

[19:39] i'm afraid i haven't used "parted" much personally MrGlass but typing "print" shows the current disks etc and "help" will give you command help [19:40] how can you determine what is using the hard drive [19:40] this sooooooooo wrong! [19:40] is there anything wrong with hooking up dvd drive with 80 pin cable to ide pins on mobo? or should it be 40? [19:40] yeah, ubuntu killed my time too.

[19:50] Anyone from Japan? [19:50] the machine is booting from cd......the problem is that the boot process is haging.....see this pic http://img238.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img4399lc1.jpg [19:50] !jp [19:50] 日本語の場合は #ubuntu-jp または #kubuntu-jp を参照して下さい [19:51] How to build a deb file from source file? [19:51] there has to be some what to determine what application is causing all this disk activity [19:51] Dante123: Either faulty hardware or faulty CD. [19:51] ohio [19:51] NamTCM, ./configure and then run 'make install' (you should be root to do these) [19:51] I'm going to take out the wireless card (just in case it is causing a problem) and then put a new cd drive in.... [19:52] NamTCM: Google should tell you some things about the app checkinstall [19:52] Has anyone been able to get Swfdec Flash Player to work? (curious) [19:52] any ideas? :/ [19:53] iam9376-> look if an entry is active at that time [19:53] Hi guys for some reason I can no longer open up synaptic package manager [19:53] iam9376-> look if an entry in cron* is active at that time [19:53] I see the start window running [19:53] but then it stops [19:54] amenado: how [19:54] iam9376-> look in the crontab [19:54] !checkinstall > NamTCM [19:54] evanderv: does it report another instance? [19:54] <_paneb> how can i find out whether my video card is pci express or agp? [19:54] no === Biolunar_ is now known as Biolunar [19:54] iam9376-> or use top to see what process is going on [19:54] I have restarted the computer many times [19:54] it still does it [19:54] top only reveals Xorg as being highly active [19:54] I can run apt-get from command no probs [19:54] How do I copy information on the network drivers from the livecd to a current installation? [19:55] evanderv: Try starting it from the command line to see if it burps any errors. gksudo synaptic [19:55] heh (grasping) have you tried to get-apt synaptic again (if it's possible) :D [19:56] Izzi: mount both resources (the network drive and the local disk) and copy the data [19:56] erUSUL: I mounted the local disk, what data specifically am I copying? [19:57] Lynet: It just hangs there [19:57] wpa_supplicant isn't wanting to connect for some reason (using ndiswrapper). Here's the debug output: http://slexy.org/view/s21BkjpQtb -- it works with the same configuration in my old Ubuntu install, and I can connect using debian. :-s [19:57] I upgraded and lost my network drivers [19:57] hey guys what's the spanish packages [19:57] just upgraded the kernel [19:57] Hey guys - is there any reason why the webcam which was working fine last time I booted ubuntu would suddenly not be viewable? [19:57] hi, i wanna look at hard drive in a hex editor. before I go and do something really stupid like open the device in the editor and probably crash something, i was wondering if anyone had any better way to do it [19:57] there were some updates today [19:57] erUSUL: do you know which data to copy? [19:58] !es dury [19:58] Factoid es dury not found [19:58] :-\ [19:58] Izzi: oooh i missunderstand you thought you where copying data files from a sever to your machine using the livecd [19:58] Hi, ive just installed hardy on the new laptop, put the nvidia driver on but i cant change the resolution past very low, id be grateful for any help :) [19:58] Ok - now the lsusb command isn't working. That's slightly odd. [19:58] Sweet delicious victory! [19:59] The_PHP_Jedi: how do I type in terminal? [19:59] evanderv: Hard to say what the cause is without some sort of error message. I suppose you could try to reinstall synaptic. [19:59] why does rhythmbox need such an absurd amount of CPU in hardy? it basically uses as much CPU as it possibly can, all the time. i have a CPU with hyperthreading, and so this problem is not noticeable, rhythmbox can sit and max the CPU - fine, i still have another "core" for everything else. but if i run another program that legitimately uses 100% CPU, for example, doing a render in blender, then suddenly rhythmbox cant even manage to play music without stuttering [19:59] hmm sorry for long rant :( [19:59] I finally fixed my video card issues! [19:59] dury, open the terminal and type into it... [19:59] ali1234, complain with the rhythmbox developers :) [19:59] Is there any alternative cd for Ubuntu server as well? [19:59] to, rather. [20:00] ali1234: i do not have that problem ... no change between hardy and gutsy cpu usage [20:00] Dury . Click Applications > Accessories > Terminal. Type away [20:00] Lynet: best way to install it again would be? [20:00] The_PHP_Jedi: which command.... and what? [20:00] how do I get to the advanced desktop effects settings dialog on ubuntu? [20:00] it's appeared on my PC but not my desktop [20:00] dury, what do you want to do? [20:00] johey: you would have to look in the mirror: //releases.ubuntu.com [20:00] ok - sorry if someone was responding to my question, but I need to reboot. [20:00] I'm terminal right now [20:00] er, not my laptop [20:00] The_PHP_Jedi: install spanish packages for gnome [20:00] basically, pre hardy, rhythmbox would behave nice when the machine was loaded by other apps. now it stutters if it cannot have it's 100% cpu [20:01] dury: check #ubuntu-es -- they probably know. [20:01] kiris: Syetem -> appearance -> visual effects -> extra [20:01] :P [20:01] CPU usage hasn;t actually changed [20:01] evanderv: apt-get remove, apt-get install I guess. [20:01] robg_, I only find server, desktop and alternate. Not server-alternate. [20:01] yeah I thought so doing it now [20:01] :D [20:01] Do y'all know why wpa_supplicant isn't connecting to my access point on my new install, even though it works on my old install? [20:02] whats the terminal command to view my network shares? [20:02] johey: if it is not there then it probably does not exist. Pity through. Drive encryption would be welcome on a server. [20:02] how come there is no /etc/exports file in heron ? [20:02] Lynet: This also happens when I run LikeWise [20:02] fde: You around? [20:02] how do I create one, touch /etc/exports? [20:02] not sure if its relaterd [20:03] whats the terminal command to view my network shares? [20:03] What do people use (first hand experience) to view SWFs? nothing I've tried works...ideas? [20:03] robg_, Yeah, and the possibility to boot the cd would be nice as well. [20:03] hi I have got kubuntu 8.04. I'm trying to run a *.deb file but it doesn't allow me and keep asking me for a program to run the file, anyone can help me? yhanks [20:03] tdawgedogg: assuming you means windows networking, smbclient -L [20:03] rich_freecomm, I just use Firefox (I open the file through it). [20:03] KeKoS: you don't run .deb files.. they are not executable [20:04] ah i figured it out shares-admin [20:04] whats a DBus launch error in banshee music player? [20:04] Do y'all know why wpa_supplicant isn't connecting to my access point on my new install, even though it works on my old install? [20:04] The_PHP_Jedi: tried that....even if the file is local, it acts like it's 'downloading it' with a continuous circle [20:04] hi all [20:04] Why isn't there a alternate version for Ubuntu server? [20:04] KeKoS: if you want to install it you use dpkg .. "sudo dpkg --install yourdebfile.deb" [20:04] Is there a reason that wireless networks don't seem to update in Ubuntu? They seem fixed at what is available when I turn the computer on... [20:04] i need IP forwarding set to enabled permanently on a couple of ubuntu server systems, i have the line "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf but the system doesn't seem to read it on startup so it doesn't get set, meaning i have to run "sysctl -p" to force it to do so, how do i solve this? [20:04] Slart I would like to install a program *.deb and I used to do it on Ubuntu [20:05] "dpkg -i blah.deb" for ubuntu [20:05] they are packages [20:05] KeKoS: either you just double-click on the deb in gnome..or use the terminal command I wrote above [20:05] rich_freecomm, odd. I don't know of any standalone .swf players... so I can't help you any further. :-s [20:05] i have fedora9 and win XP installed on my system. If i install Ubuntu will the Grub autommatically add fedora 9 and Win XP or not? [20:05] Lynet: I dont think its the program itself [20:05] keith: even if you run "iwlist scan" from the command line? [20:05] Linux_User, yes, it will. [20:05] I think its something to do with administrative applications [20:05] Lynet: I can't run any of them [20:05] keith: if so, it is probably a bug in the driver for your wireless network card [20:05] Linux_User: windows probably ; fedora not likely [20:05] The_PHP_Jedi: maybe I should have stayed with FF2? :D [20:05] jelmer: I was unaware of that command... so I don't know [20:05] ok thanks [20:05] hey guys [20:06] quick question [20:06] Hi how do I remove an installed program (munin) [20:06] g[r]eek, use Synaptic. [20:06] keith: generally, networkmanager (the icon in your panel) should do the right thing [20:06] Linux_User: the latest instal usually becomes boot and usually provides links to other installed OSes. But strange things happen. [20:06] The_PHP_Jedi, via command line? [20:06] g[r]eek: synaptic or sudo apt-get remove packagename .. [20:06] jelmer: How often does it update its list? [20:06] whats a DBus launch error in BANSHEE MUSIC PLAYER? anyone know :(..? [20:06] evanderv: Hmm.. Might perhaps be something borked with root or perhaps with pam. If you're using likewise (Win AD integration, right?) there might perhaps be something there. [20:06] morning folks.. got a bit of a qunadry [20:06] g[r]eek, no, open the application Synaptic. It should be in your System menu [20:06] Ok thanks - does that remove all log files associated to it etc [20:06] g[r]eek: use --purge if you want to remove all configuration files too [20:06] hello, is there a way I can burn mp3 files into an audio cd with ubuntu? thanks [20:06] What to do then to have Ubuntu, Fedora and Win xP all on the same system? [20:06] keith: not sure, but quickly enough [20:06] !pastebin [20:06] 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) [20:07] The_PHP_Jedi, thanks but I need the command line - server edition [20:07] Slart, ok thanks [20:07] teq: brasero can burn audio cd's from mp3s [20:07] keith: it *may* be a bug in networkmanager though, that's why it would be useful if you can verify that "iwlist scan" also doesn't work [20:07] g[r]eek, then use 'apt-get remove package' [20:07] Linux_User: just add fedora yourself it shouldn't be that hard [20:07] just installed ubuntu on my HP Pavilion DV6000 (nvidia chipset) and can't seem to get the wireless networking to work [20:07] Lynet: I do have Likewise [20:07] <_paneb> how can i find out whether my video card is pci express or agp? [20:07] I will unistall it [20:07] The_PHP_Jedi, ok thanks [20:07] Slart: im using 7.10 [20:07] jelmer: will iwlist scan update the gui? [20:07] Slart: any tip? [20:07] How do I start Compiz Fusion on ubuntu 8.04? [20:07] teq: brasero is available for 7.10 too [20:07] paneb: Just look at which slot it goes in to on your motherboard [20:07] keith: I don't think it will === mmi is now known as MotherMayI [20:07] teq: sudo apt-get install brasero [20:07] How to add? plz simple solution, i am not an expert [20:07] Slart: apt-get install brasero? [20:07] keith: but it will be useful to figure out which bit of your system is failing [20:07] i want to congfigure it... [20:07] Linux_User: you have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add a "stanza" for booting fedora you can copy that from the fedora /boot/grub/menu.lst [20:08] Slart: lol ok thanks [20:08] I am getting a ton of problems with Evolution not resolving names in the exchange address book, a debug has led me to these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15385/ ... basically saying it cannot connect to the gnome_keyring ... connection refused [20:08] in to which channel i have to go to get info about mp4,mp3,ipod,iphones and so on... [20:08] debian, go to add/remove programs and look up fuzion [20:08] debian, compiz* [20:08] I will unistall it [20:08] jelmer: I'll mess around with that, thanks [20:08] I've installed the Wireless LAN Manager but when I try to launch Wireless Assistant, I get this error: "Could not launch menu item. Unknown encoding of: file:///usr/share/applications/kde/wlassistant.desktop [20:08] evanderv: Just guessing at this point, really. Hard to tell without having some error message. [20:08] any help on wireless networking? [20:08] Do y'all know why wpa_supplicant isn't connecting to my access point on my new install, even though it works on my old install? Debug output: http://slexy.org/view/s21BkjpQtb [20:09] omniiii, what's your specific issue? [20:09] debian, once you have installed compiz fusion go to applications > system tools and it should be in there [20:09] (12:08:31 PM) omni: I've installed the Wireless LAN Manager but when I try to launch Wireless Assistant, I get this error: "Could not launch menu item. Unknown encoding of: file:///usr/share/applications/kde/wlassistant.desktop [20:09] i need IP forwarding set to enabled permanently on a couple of ubuntu server systems, i have the line "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf but the system doesn't seem to read it on startup so it doesn't get set, meaning i have to run "sysctl -p" to force it to do so, how do i solve this? [20:09] The_PHP_Jedi: (12:07:14 PM) omni: just installed ubuntu on my HP Pavilion DV6000 (nvidia chipset) and can't seem to get the wireless networking to work [20:10] PdUb101: he needs to install compiz-settings first [20:10] daftykins: I have the same problem.. I don't reboot my server very often but I have to set it manually [20:10] Worked. Thanks fellas. Cheers. [20:10] PdUb101: I can't find compiz in add remove programs... [20:10] it's annoying isn't it Slart [20:10] The_PHP_Jedi: If I had to guess it is a bad key. [20:10] daftykins: I tried the sysconf thingy too.. didn't work [20:10] omniiii, not familiar with KDE, sorry. [20:10] daftykins: extremely annoying [20:10] yeah it's only updated if i run "syctl -p" [20:10] The_PHP_Jedi: I'm not using KDE, I just installed a fresh ubuntu [20:10] The_PHP_Jedi: But that is merely a guess. Try using wi-fi without encryption for now. [20:10] MrObvious, I'm using exactly the same configuration file as my other systems, and it works. [20:10] The_PHP_Jedi: Like I said, it's a guess. [20:10] MrObvious, eh.... that's not really an option. Security is a must here. [20:11] daftykins: ah.. I usually log on using ssh and change it manually [20:11] The_PHP_Jedi: Yeah I prefer WPA w\ a strong password too. [20:11] MrObvious, thanks for giving it a shot though. :) [20:11] Should I add it any where in menu file of ubuntu's grub? [20:11] daftykins: add "sysctl -p" to /etc/rc.local as workaround ?? [20:11] debian, make sure the "show" tab says "all available applications" [20:11] the_PHP_jedi: so there's no KDE. I just need to know how to get wireless networking to work using the default ubuntu installation (using gnome I guess) [20:11] hello everyone [20:11] Linux_User: at the end after the windows entry for example [20:12] debian, you are also going to want to install the advanced desktop effeects setting (ccsm) [20:12] ok, thx alot. I will try it [20:12] I am getting a ton of problems with Evolution not resolving names in the exchange address book, a debug has led me to these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15385/ ... basically saying it cannot connect to the gnome_keyring ... connection refused. Can anyone help ? [20:12] omniiii, well, gnome has a handy applet that's in the top bar... It's pretty straightforward. [20:12] anyone having a problem with Mozilla where it reads spaces as tabs? [20:12] the_php_jedi: what's the name of it? I've looked at everything in the top bar and nothing seems to point me in the right direction [20:13] omniiii, you could try right click -> add to panel... and choose 'Network Monitor' (or something similar to that name) [20:13] The_PHP_Jedi: Maybe post it in ubuntuforums.org in the networking section and see if someone has any ideas. [20:13] the_php_jedi: I've installed the network selector, and in the menu it says "Wireless disabled" but the wireless is controlled by a physical toggle switch on the laptop, which is set to "on" and the status indicator is blue indicating that the wireless card is in fact activated [20:14] omniiii, then maybe you need to install the drivers for your card, perhaps using ndiswrapper if none are available for Linux natively. [20:14] MrObvious, I think I'll do that... Apparently there's no support chan for wpa_supplicant... Cheers. [20:14] the_php_jedi: I see. [20:14] daftykins: Could you try adding net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 I found an old bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/84537 that sounds eerily similar. [20:14] hi am on ircii, can u pl tell me the command to reconfigure xserver ? [20:14] Launchpad bug 84537 in procps "sysctl.conf, net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding, race condition?"

[20:21] Mibias: download install pack en burn it into a live cd the install it, other ways are buggy [20:21] david__: is dbus running? try 'dbus-monitor' in console?

[20:24] hello [20:24] my wireless & sound card have stopped working after upgrading to hardy(8.04), anyone have any ideas how to fix this? [20:24] MGalaxy: Well.. Considering that 192.168 is private address space that is not valid on internet that's not really surprising. [20:25] I've a box which doesn't detect some usb devices which are already plugged in at boot. If after the boot I unplug-replug them, then they get detected, and work like a charm [20:25] what does dbus monitor do exactly? can i fix bugs with it? [20:25] ever heard of such a problem? [20:25] they work fine when i switch back to 2.6.22.x but not on 2.6.24.x [20:25] david__: Its for interprocess communciation [20:25] AlienX: I'm running skype 2 with alsa.. haven't had any real problems with it [20:26] was unable to locate a report of something similar [20:26] Slart, hmm. It tells me that there is a problem with my audio playback :-\ [20:26] so all i get from dbus monitor is error report, how do i fix the errors then? [20:26] reinstall program? [20:26] david__: dbus-monitor should just show you the messages on the bus. if it gives you an error it probably means you dont have running dbus [20:26] hi [20:27] im having a problm with my my sound card [20:27] so reinstall banshee in this case..? [20:27] my wireless & sound card have stopped working after upgrading to hardy(8.04), anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

[20:32] Webu: is it a seperate partition or just part of / [20:32] david__, I also recommend http://slexy.org as a pastebin :) [20:32] david__: it's a nice excuse, but pastebin has nothing specifically to do with linux ;-D [20:33] ugh brasero is not working for me :( [20:33] is there a program i ubuntu like notepad in windows, a text writer that doesn't format the text? [20:33] Lynet, I don't know, I was looking for the reason why doesn't my Apache show anything up, until I noticed that :-/ [20:33] how do i reset my audio drivers????? [20:33] boris, 'Text Editor'? [20:33] jelmer: I'll test that out next I guess [20:33] dbarnett, it's /var/www, just a directory. [20:33] BorkisDrizzt: gedit [20:33] ok ok ok [20:33] might try a fsck [20:33] sorry Webu never seen that [20:34] Webu: That smells like a borked directory entry to me. I'd unmount whatever filesystem it is on and run fsck on it. [20:34] i am having trouble getting my machine to access my network. any tips for an ubuntu noob? [20:34] AlienX: hang on... let me check [20:34] Is there another program that burns mp3s into audio cds besides brasero? thanks [20:34] Slart, cheers [20:34] 2.0.0.68 [20:34] My evolution keeps crashing with "lost connection to the exchange backend service" i need help [20:34] Anyone using TORRENTFLUX? Where are finished downloads? [20:34] ah, found it, meh, it should have been under office programs [20:34] AlienX: 2.0.0.68 .. no -1 in the about box at least [20:34] dbarnett Lynet, okey thanks, I'll try to recover it, but luckily there's no much data lost if there's nothing to do. [20:34] Webu: can you cd into it? [20:34] Slart, hmm I'll have to see if I can find the older revision then [20:35] "-bash: cd: www: Permission denied" [20:35] Webu: try as root [20:35] how do i list the users in a room? [20:35] can anyone help me get ubuntu to access the internet? [20:35] RayzrShrp: /names [20:35] using irssi [20:35] frankie_: sure [20:36] frankie_: state the problem.. [20:36] RayzrShrp: /names [20:36] backslash7: try searching for them with 'locate' [20:36] thanks [20:36] RayzrShrp: and it's a channel, not a room [20:36] i'm running my network on a verizon router (*fios stuff).... [20:36] sorry lol [20:36] Webu: i've asked on another chanel I lurk in and they say corrupt fs [20:36] check your dmesg output for errors [20:36] "sudo: cd: command not found", hmm.. [20:36] dbarnett, I see. [20:36] frankie_: whats the problem? [20:36] i have a few other machines linked through ethernet using netgear switches that use the house's power grid. [20:36] irssi seems much nicer then bitchx [20:37] ubuntu isn't seeing the ethernet hookup. [20:37] Webu: it sounds like a permission problem on www [20:37] "[46116.153032] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] 398297088 512-byte hardware sectors (203928 MB)" [20:37] my mac and 3 other windows machines are all able to use it fine. [20:37] Oops, not that one, hmm. [20:37] frankie_: we have those things too, and they've worked fine for me... [20:37] my dlink wireless media server wont connect with ubuntu, and the video streaming also lags ..

[20:37] frankie_: Does Ubuntu work with other ethernet connections? If not, could be the card driver and have nothing to do with the power line connection. [20:37] try fscking it [20:37] nope [20:38] BorkisDrizzt: yes [20:38] BorkisDrizzt: sure, with Brasero - you can burn any file. [20:38] Webu: fsck and cross your fingers. [20:38] sweet [20:38] #tuxhelper [20:38] card driver? [20:38] frankie_: The ethernet card in your computer. Any idea what kind it is? [20:38] tonyyarusso: hey any idea why my brasero stucks on burning process? [20:38] I'm having priblen with my laptop connection to wireless network. dmesg gives me dhcdbd: message_handler: message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth1 for sub-path eth1.dbus.get.reason. Anyone heard of this before? [20:38] i can open it and check :p gimme a sec [20:38] teq: nope. [20:38] tonyyarusso: it doesnt gets started at all [20:39] how can I quit my X session? [20:39] hi [20:39] hello [20:39] anybody know where to find docs to make my own deb package? [20:39] slim: pkill xserver? [20:39] how are you ?? [20:39] !packaging [20:39] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [20:39] BorkisDrizzt: if you want even more burning power and don't mind installing kde libraries - k3b is a fine, fine burning tool. [20:39] slim: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [20:39] I'm having issues with being able to hear sound on You Tube and other websites, however, I can hear sound just fine from programs such as VLC. Any help? [20:39] Lynet dbarnett, yeah looks like there's problems when reading the dmesg, I'll try what happens. [20:39] does anyone here know anything about fixing Evolution??? [20:40] pkill xserver does nothing [20:40] lolzer, why, is there a problem with installing kde libraries? [20:40] question: how do I regenerate device.map? [20:40] slim: "pkill X"? [20:40] slim: try what tony said sudo invoke-rd.d gdm stop [20:40] BorkisDrizzt: it's a personal preference thing. [20:40] no. no problem with it. just using a little more disc space. nothing wrong with it. I love k3b. [20:40] Lynet: Hey I unistalled LikeWise now I can't log into Ubuntu at all [20:40] slim: try ps -Fe | grep X [20:40] teq: -rc, not -rd though [20:40] I think Slim found a way.. cause he's gone now! haha [20:41] Lynet, actually, am I possible to unmount the disk Ubuntu is installed? I need to do that before fsck? [20:41] can anyone help me with grub? [20:41] Lynet, am I able to* [20:41] tonyyarusso: ahh typos :P [20:41] Webu: you'll need to use a live cd for that [20:41] slim: try what tony said sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop [20:41] jonaskoelker: it depends on what kind of help you need with grub [20:41] Starnestommy: how do I regenerate device.map? [20:42] Starnestommy: ... either by hand or by program [20:42] Webu: umount or remount read-only. If it is your / partition, it is probably easiest to boot a LiveCD and do fsck from there. [20:42] Why would uninstalling LikeWIse prevent me from logging back into gnome [20:42] tonyyarusso, ouch, hopefully live cd doesn't need X, just thought it's a server computer? [20:42] I have changed my password and even created new accounts and none of them work [20:42] jonaskoelker: it depends on what hard disks, floppy drives, and cd drives you have, and which device nodes they are associated with [20:43] Lynet, I see, thanks, now it's time to find my disk :-) [20:43] Any advice with regards to lack of sound when watching flash videos? [20:43] anyone know of a project designed to wrap firefox up in a COM layer object? [20:43] evanderv: Ouch. Don't really know. [20:43] Webu: oh, bother. Live CD would include X, yes, although it's possible they've added a text-boot option since I last checked. Otherwise, there might still be the "repair" option on the !alternate CD, which might do the trick. [20:43] My evolution keeps crashing with "lost connection to the exchange backend service" i need help [20:43] jonaskoelker: my device.map just says "(hd0) /dev/sda" so i guess you just need to supply "grub style" device name and kernel device node for each HD in your system, in that format [20:44] I am completely locked out now [20:44] Starnestommy: I have, {primary,secondary}{master,slave}: disk, disk, cdrom, disk; I want to boot from 2nd slave, which is also the root drive [20:44] my dlink wireless media server wont connect with ubuntu, and the video streaming also lags .. [20:44] teq, can ubuntu tell me what card the machine is using? [20:44] What is the command to turn on root login at gnome login screen [20:44] nibsa1242b: Are you using the Adobe flash plugin or something else? [20:44] evanderv: there isn't one [20:44] frankie_: i believe it does, i dont know the command, sorry [20:44] evanderv: what would you do that? [20:44] tonyyarusso, hmm okay, I think I should just grab the server here, because it would be hard to do it "remotely". [20:44] my mail (outgoing) does not go through in evolution or kontact? do i have to set up any port ? [20:44] Webu: agreed [20:44] hi [20:44] how do I bring up the grub boot command line at promp if it's hidden [20:44] hello [20:44] evanderv You can get recovery mode root from grub menu [20:44] jonaskoelker: try sudo grub --device-map [20:45] how are you ???

(i'm a huge noob) [20:45] Starnestommy: requires an argument [20:45] Steve-cal: I'm pretty sure its the official Adobe flash plugin. about:plugins reports it as libflashplayer.so & npwrapper.libflashplayer.so [20:45] Hello. I need help with my CD burner. I insert the empty CD, but I get the error "burn:/// is not a valid location" when I choose 'make a data CD'. Making an audio CD is no problem though. Any idea what might be wrong? [20:45] is there anyone here who install wengophone on ubuntu ??? [20:45] tonyyarusso: I unistalled LikeWise now I can't get back into gnome [20:46] my passwords wont work [20:46] or also what is the script install option for adding a line to grub so oit's always there [20:46] evanderv: do your passwords work on a terminal login? [20:46] I need console=ttyS1,38400 [20:46] what is likewise? [20:46] my mail (outgoing) does not go through in evolution or kontact? do i have to set up any port ?

[20:55] I've been having some problems lately with stability. I'm beginning to suspect GNOME.

Whenever the taskbars freezeup, the [20:55] it is a quake 3 game [20:55] frankie_: gratz!! [20:55] majikins: Well, what is your wireless card and the chipset it uses?

[21:07] <[D-Tail]> cerebrate: that is, i'm having a hard time modifying stuff on that disk... the best solution for me would be to have it mounted and formatted [21:07] D-Tail: I have no clue. I'm just attempting to see if maybe you just got unlucky and the card died right about the time you upgraded. [21:08] <[D-Tail]> well, my phone can still read it, so I guess that's no option === ChristianPunk is now known as Jorrrram [21:08] chicobo329: sudo apt-get update [21:08] alright.

[21:15] majikins: Doesn't look good--your wireless card doesn't even show up in lspci. Am I wrong in assuming it is PCI installed? or are you using a USB wireless device? [21:15] <[D-Tail]> cerebrate: I already have that, but it doesn't seem to notice the RS-MMC card [21:15] BCM43: Oh okay! I'll settle with FF2 for now push comes to shove. Thanks for the help [21:15] <[D-Tail]> after all, it's mounted from an USB device [21:15] Jaikkuli: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [21:15] Minarr: buy him a beer [21:15] also, burning the pictures along with the presentation failed hard [21:15] chicobo329: your welcome [21:15] Minarr: show him how to do all the things he does with his current OS [21:15] evanderv: Fixed login, or did it fix synaptic too? [21:15] ok new problem I can't open up any administrative applications [21:15] <[D-Tail]> oh wait, now it sees the disk, how weird... [21:15] Steve-cal: apparently its usb - but it is onboard [21:15] Steve-cal: Ok, problem fixed. I had 2 versions of Flash installed to my /home/.mozilla/plugins/ directory. After removing them, and installing the plugin from the repo I now have sound during Flash videos. [21:15] such as synaptic [21:15] i'm installing ubuntu from boot cd, on our university we have a ubuntu repository but when i try to configure manually i dont know how to do it [21:15] <[D-Tail]> I guess I can manage on my own from here, cerebrate... thanks so much so far!

[21:16] nibsa1242b: Great! So you just manually removed the files in the plugins directory? No special uninstallation necessary? [21:16] <[D-Tail]> cerebrate: I'll come back to you when I have mounting problems again, I guess the root-only 'feature' hasn't gone away... we'll see! [21:16] evanderv: Do you see anything suspicious in the system logs? [21:16] Boohbah, but i'm on install cd.. i cant modify /etc/apt/sources.list [21:17] majikins: Try "lsusb -v" to look for USB devices. [21:17] ivanmerida: did you try? i thought the livecd filesystem was loaded into a ramdisk [21:17] is there an application to maintain albums of digital camera photos?My camera can be mounted as a flash disk. [21:17] cerebrate: doesnt list my specific model [21:17] ph_softnet: f-spot, but i hear it has problems [21:18] Boohbah i have the minimal boot cd [21:18] Jaikkuli: then you probably don't have compatibility for that camera [21:18] ivanmerida: did you try? [21:18] Boohbah, thanx [21:18] Steve-cal: yeah, just a manual deleting was all that was necessary. I did have to go into about:config and change plugin.expose_full_path to true so that I knew where the 3 versions were. And I happen to be running firefox 2.0.0.14. [21:18] cerebrate: well i probably do actually.. many other brother laptops have the same one [21:18] is there any way to retrive the code name of the version of ubuntu a system is running? I need to script something that downloads a diffrent file depending on the version of ubuntu. [21:18] Boohbah it dont have /etc/apt/sources.list when i enter to a shell with alt f2 [21:19] i keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/15401/ when I try running virtualbox [21:19] Lynet: No nothing that sparks a problem [21:19] Help me with http://people.debian.org/~dz/i8k/ please! [21:19] nibsa1242b: I'll have to remember that trick. I'm using FF2 also. [21:19] cerebrate: further more i think i accomplished it last year, on an earlier version of ubuntu [21:19] bipolar: lsb_release -c [21:19] I hate it when they assume one to know how to compile and install. :( [21:19] how to put music which i have downloaded from limewire "to" "mp4 touch" ??? pls help some1...if this isnt right channel then where do i have to go? [21:19] cerebrate: i can find it with lsusb if that has any relevance [21:19] i did a sudo apt-get on virtualbox-ose-modules and -generic [21:19] but i already had them.. any idea what else it could be? [21:19] Jaikkuli: I don't know anything further than the HCL list. [21:19] jrib: thanks!

It is a Debian package--may not work or be stable in Ubuntu. [21:20] Please! Anyone? [21:20] Steve, it's the only way to turn the fans on... [21:20] cl0s: yes, i had the same issue. i believe i installed the non-OSE binary directly from the virtualbox site and it was fixed [21:20] Is this the channel to speak about Hardy Heron or is that still in a different channel? [21:21] cdc: i think it's ok to talk about hardy in here since it's the current version [21:21] Steve, on this Inspiron Laptop. [21:21] Lynet: Wait I can now open it using gksudo synaptic [21:21] but I can't from gnome itself [21:21] Steve-cal, can you help me install it? Please! I'm out of lung capacity soon. [21:21] hey guys im kinda confused on how to install themes, i downloaded GrayDark-Ice.emerald, and im not sure how to apply it to my Ubuntu 8.04 [21:21] not sure if this applies, but how do I make a Windows XP partition after I've already put Ubuntu partitions on? [21:22] KOJV: what do you need help with? [21:22] BCM43: http://people.debian.org/~dz/i8k/ [21:22] Lynet: it wont ask for my password anymore like it use too [21:22] Will the Windows CD work fine, or will it get confused by the Ubuntu partitions and screw something up? Also, where do I get the dual-boot enabled? [21:22] !install | Chaotic_Descent [21:22] Chaotic_Descent: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

Help me? [21:23] Steve-cal: from what I have read of my board, its the realtek [21:23] Chaotic_Descent: it was setup automatically for me with my existing windows partition, so you'll have to edit it manually if you install windows after linux [21:23] evanderv: Hmm.. Does gksu work? [21:23] hi all - if i wish to clear a users mail file I can just 0 the mail file cant I so "">usersmailfile ? [21:23] chaotic, I've found it easiest to install Ubuntu and different Windows versions each on their very own physical drive. [21:23] KOJV: what bout that? [21:23] BCM43; I can't make it run., [21:23] Lynet: Yes [21:23] KOJV: what is it? [21:23] where can i get GSPCA? or is it included in ubuntu hardy? aparently it enables use of my webcam.. however i cannot see how to use it at least [21:23] ok I'll go look. [21:24] BCM43: Fan controlling system. [21:24] Does this channel seem to produce a lot of lag? [21:24] Well... I'm just getting tired of having to go into the bios every time I want to boot from the other partition. [21:24] Circe: no [21:24] KOJV: is it compiled or do you need to? [21:24] anyone here know how to make miro work with alsa not pulseaudio? [21:24] Jaikkuli: gspca should be installed by default in 8.04 [21:24] hello [21:24] Circe: a little [21:24] it plays but no sound [21:24] !hi | aks_ [21:24] aks_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:24] BCM: I have no idea, got no programming skills. Please download and check it out. [21:24] BCM43: I fixed it :D [21:24] HI [21:24] Chuggst3r: what was it? [21:24] I'm wondering whether the hibernation issues that some laptops had are fixed in Hardy? [21:24] my other HD is IDE so... it won't let me change partitions without rearranging which drives are first.. [21:24] !hi | ubuntu [21:24] ubuntu: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [21:24] evanderv: Weird, cause starting synaptic from the menu shouldn't be anything else than 'gksu /usr/bin/synaptic' [21:24] BCM43: The beta drivers I had weren't removed. [21:25] Chuggst3r: oh [21:25] KOJV: hold on, i need to swich to my ubuntu computer [21:25] Lynet: Yes you are right I checked the porperites in the menu editor and its right [21:25] BCM43: I didn't realise, I though removing nvidia-glx-new would do it...apparently not. [21:25] Thank you BCM43! [21:25] BCM43: The regular installer didn't see them for some reason either...no idea why. [21:25] Is it possible with iptables to make TCP connections to host 1.2.3.4 port 345 go to say localhost:1234 ? [21:25] anyone here know how to make miro work with alsa not pulseaudio? [21:25] it plays but no sound [21:25] Chuggst3r: are you using aptitude ore apt-get [21:25] I really need help. Ubuntu 8.04 setup is using one of my partition as /usr, i told it not to format and it told me it would delte **older system files** I sais yes, that would mean the only folder of personal info I had there with a non linux system folder name wouldn't bve deleted. [21:26] majikins: I don't know how to help you because I'm not sure what chipset you have--it might be that "8187" line but I'm not sure. [21:26] apt-get [21:26] Juvenal_Antena, is spamming [21:26] The stupid installer erased that as well! [21:26] Is it possible with iptables to make TCP connections to host 1.2.3.4 port 345 go to say localhost:1234 ? (not on the router, but on the box that is initiating the connection) [21:26] I don't know why Ubuntu won't let me create an NTFS partition just to be on the safe side. [21:26] Should I be using aptitude? [21:26] is there a way to restore? [21:26] Chuggst3r: i like it better [21:26] yacc: yes [21:26] BCM43: I'll keep that in mind, I'm just happy in the end :D [21:26] ali1234: Any hints? [21:26] does anyone have problems with sleep and hibernation in Ubuntu 8? [21:26] BCM43: Thanks for everything though. [21:26] the folder was colled 2doc and it was inside /usr, anyway to recover? [21:26] ali1234: how to configure it? [21:26] Steve-cal: ok - I've dug up on the forums but there hasn't been any conclusive solution [21:26] Why do you need ubuntu to create an ntfs partition? [21:27] Chuggst3r: your welcome [21:27] yacc: no idea, but i know it is possible. try looking at setting up a transparent http proxy, that is kind of similar to what you want [21:27] Steve-cal: everyone just basically says buy a real wifi card! [21:27] hey I'm installing on a nvraid setup its all installed but the boot loader. how do i go about this thanks for the help [21:27] Steve-cal: but thanks for trying [21:27] Hey! Is there a Bittorrent client in which I can choose exactly what files I want to download? [21:28] is there any risk of the Windows installer screwing up the partitions? just wondering why they keep telling me to install Windows first. I can't do that at this point. [21:28] ibioss: Azureus lets you download individual files [21:28] ali1234: yeah, but these usually run on the firewall, not on the clients. [21:28] !grub > Chaotic_Descent (read the private message from ubottu) [21:28] Chaotic_Descent: you'll need to reinstall grub if you install windows after ubuntu [21:28] BCM43: Can you get the program running? [21:28] yacc: they don't have to though [21:28] sagredo: thx, you know any other? azureus feels so bloated [21:28] ibioss: I do not. Good luck though [21:28] oh, thanks. [21:28] KOJV: im looking at how to install it [21:29] sagredo: thx [21:29] majikins: I did a quick check and I think that "8187" is the chipset on your realtek card. I believe you can try ndiswrapper to get it going. [21:29] thank you for informing me on what the issue was. [21:29] Steve-cal: ok - how do I do that? [21:29] hi all, i am hooking up cd drive to evga 650 i mobo...there is one set of ide pins on the mobo and I am using the 80 wire ribbon that came with mobo....if the cddrive is set as master with jumpers.....and the ide ribbon cable has two ide female slots....does it matter which one plugs into the cddrive....end one or middle? [21:29] KOJV: download it, extract, and move into the folder [21:30] question please, i acquired a theme that says "This is an Emerald themes for the Dar-Ice GTK themes" does that mean i need to download GTK app? [21:30] yacc: On a router you would do some preroute rule to rewrite the packet address. For packets originating from the same box I think you need to do the rewrite in the output chain. [21:30] majikins: Easiest way would be to use the "ndisgtk" GUI program in the repos, or you can do it at the command line. But I would try ndisgtk first if I were you. [21:31] is the Desktop/Live CD the Ubuntu installer CD? [21:31] Steve-cal: I'm relatively comfortable with cli [21:31] Steve-cal: but I will take your advice and install quickly :-) [21:32] BCM43: Yes, then? [21:32] yacc: But if I'm not mistaken the output chain is after the route decition, so in that case you would have to reinject the packet to the input chain so that it will be rerouted to the correct destination interface. [21:32] can some one help me install grub manually on my nvraid setup? [21:32] yacc: ..but exactly *how* to do that is something I've forgotten a long time ago. [21:32] KOJV: make, then sudo make install [21:33] majikins: I forgot to mention since I assumed you knew, but to use ndiswrapper you need the Windows wireless drivers for your wireless card--do you have those? [21:33] Steve-cal: nope [21:33] My system won't boot; HDD LED flickers but no progress. I've got root on LVM using kubuntu hardy alternate setup CD. Was debugging an issue with HAL preventing powerdown/reboot, so I was rebooting in recover mode fairly often. Suddenly, reboot stopped somewhere in between, can't remember where. Only Idea I had was using the Magic SysReq key to SIGTERM all processes, which got me the emergency menu. After that, things got worse. Loading things would [21:34] Steve-cal: can I download it?

Do you see an alternative? Or have any suspicions what's keeping the system busy? [21:34] u guu guys are assholes, all i had to do was date --set 5/28/2008 and Gnome would have started correctly. [21:35] i formated. [21:35] preciate it. [21:35] majikins: Yes, you should be able to find the Windows drivers for your card, but it may take a bit of googling or looking around the RealTek site or something. [21:35] majikins: Didn't you get anything like that with your computer? [21:36] when setting up evolution with gmail.. what server type should I choose? [21:36] KOJV: you still there?

[21:37] aks_: it can as long as ACPI is working correctly [21:37] KOJV: you ran make before that? [21:37] oc80z: yes, a full reinstall is usually not the best option... you should have asked me [21:38] hi ubuntu gods.....i just got evga 650i mobo, 2 gb dual channel memory, quad core cpu from intel.....do I got 32 bit version of hardy 8.04 or 64 bit? Will be doing some tremulous, cod 1 and 2 gaming on this machine....rest is normal internet stuff.... [21:38] KOJV: duh, im an idiot, i know why. You have to do aptitude install build-essentials first [21:38] Dante123: any gaming, stick to 32-bit [21:38] hey guys :) Should I ask for a stable mp3 player here or in another channel? [21:38] jonny_: have you set the driver in your xorg.conf to VGA? [21:38] Dante123: from what i hear, 64bit is not great [21:38] maximilion: another channel [21:38] Dante123: flash and java also have issues with 64-bit [21:39] Right BCM43 , the name of the channel? :) [21:39] !64-bit | Boohbah [21:39] Boohbah: AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu.

[21:39] anyone got a solution to how to get automount working in 8.04? [21:40] maximilion: wait, do you mean stable with ubuntu? [21:40] jonny_: if you set it to VGA you should at least get to a GUI, then you can debug from there [21:40] Well, I'm running 32-bit Gutsy Gibbon and VLC is not at all stable. [21:40] zathras_laptop: isn't that controlled by some gnome daemon? [21:40] cdecarlo: No, nothing saying VGA. Where do i put the VGA thing? [21:40] Boohbah thanks for advice [21:40] matija: you shouldnt need anything.. it should work by default [21:40] matija: the driver to use compiz is already installed, however ubuntu has a compiz blacklist of all laptops using the ati driver [21:40] maximilion: you could try amarok, the 1.4 branch is pretty stable... [21:40] Is there an easy way to convert from .bin and .cue to .iso? [21:40] matija: so if that's a laptop, you'll need to bypass the blacklist [21:41] okay how do I do that ? [21:41] Boohbah, it stopped working for me when i upgraded [21:41] I remember something when I had ati on my desktop [21:41] If someone is happy with their mp3 player in their Ubuntu, I'll be happy to try... don't need fancy stuff like db or cataloging or visual fx, just want to select a few mp3s and play them in order :) [21:41] maximilion: oh, duh, i thought you were talking about the hardware, such as an ipod [21:41] crdlb, glxgears give me around 1000fps [21:41] BCM43, don't worry :) Just was unsure about 'best this n that' discussions here [21:42] crdlb, but when I enable desktop effects nothing happens [21:42] is there a command in the terminal to determine the CRC of a file [21:42] matija: that doesn't really mean much :) please join #compiz-fusion for help with overriding the blacklist [21:42] majikins: You still there? What's the status? [21:42] maximilion: your not taking a poll, you want one fine one [21:42] cdecarlo: Im going to restart the pc see if it helps.

I tried to get them to go for a full install but they're too entrenched. I figured a little linux in a vm is better than none [22:04] Factoid emt64 not found [22:04] FireFlyFan: musical transposition? [22:04] frankie_: sudo apt-get install xchat [22:04] boohbah" yeah such as Finale for windows [22:05] frankie_: sudo aptitude install xchat [22:05] frankie_: or use "Add/Remove program".. or use synaptic [22:05] aptitude is bettar than apt-get [22:05] anyone know if this is something I should actually be concerned about? http://pastebin.com/f21abe60b [22:05] I want them to be able to edit the webpages from any workstation on the network [22:05] FireFlyFan: rosegarden is an interesting midi sequencer that has sheet music display... it might do that [22:05] gribiii: dependency hell [22:05] amrik: for something simple like xchat I don't think aptitude makes any difference.. or? [22:05] boohbah: I am not actually playing the music rather wrighting it in from different keys and transposing it to my own. [22:05] well, this is about the fglrx driver, but i am using the "radeon" driver, sorry, i forgot to tell [22:05] FireFlyFan: ahhh, check out lilypond [22:05] boohbah: okay thanks., [22:06] Slart: I think the dependencies resolve better, and when he wants to remove a package it will take care of removing unused dependencies [22:06] i just read something about DRI !? [22:06] being so new at something like linux really sucks :p [22:06] amrik: please tell me you've got something more solid than "aptitude is better with dependencies".. I've never had any dependency problems using apt-get [22:06] FireFlyFan: more help in #ubuntu-studio [22:06] gn8 [22:06] frankie_: no, it's fun to learn!

For example if you install something that requires a lib, and then you remove it with apt-get I dont think the lib goes away [22:07] should i try to use the proprietary ati-driver? [22:07] learning is the easy part, its the first few steps that are rough.

[22:09] does anyone know a good app to program in flash? [22:09] which filemanager besides nautilus/thunar is good for the use with fluxbox? [22:10] amrik: oh.. come on.. now you're scraping the bottom =) [22:10] Slart: PAL or NTSC for DVD player? [22:10] shane__: depends on where you live..

[22:11] Hdparm sais like "HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device" [22:11] are there any good filemanagers besides thunar/nautilus, for fluxbox? [22:11] shane__: hmm.. the US uses NTSC.. Europe uses PAL, mostly [22:11] how can i get ethereal/wireshark onto ubuntu? [22:12] tyberion: I don't know if I'm mistaken or not, but isn't fluxbox just a window manager? why would it include a file manager as well? [22:12] frankie_: sudo apt-get install wireshark [22:12] Slart: Good thing i asked, the default is set to PAL, im going to try NTSC [22:12] shane__: here's a nice page.. http://www.high-techproductions.com/pal,ntsc.htm . Seems like NTSC is the way to go [22:12] amrik: yeah it is... but when I launch nautilus.. it starts adding my gnome theme, wallpaper and so on, so I tried thunar, its ok.. but arent there any other ones? [22:12] Hi. What is the IRC client that comes on Ubuntu Live CD's? [22:12] anyone running ubuntu with a vanilla kernel? [22:12] johey: are you using hdparm on a SATA drive? [22:12] kkerwin: xchat? [22:13] ah, thank you boohbah [22:13] Slart: Yeah. You know a better option? [22:13] Boohbah: Thank you.

[22:14] it is now, earlier ubuntu stubbornly refused to feel the ethernet plug i had shoved up it's digital ass. [22:14] amenado: that is a little off topic. try #ubuntu-offtopic [22:14] amenado: kernel without patches. my problem is that almost all works, but i cannot switch back from x11 to console (splash is working fine though), just cannot login [22:14] tyberion: yes. you could look into "rox". found it while googling http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000191 [22:14] amenado: a vanilla kernel is directly from kernel.org, with no patches applied by distributors [22:14] amenado: i have the lieutenant kernel [22:14] johey: from the man page hdparm provides a command line interface to various kernel interfaces supported by the Linux SATA/PATA/SAS "libata" subsystem [22:14] hi.. when i open synaptic it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [22:14] vanilla kernel= kernel from kernel.org [22:15] icewaterman: what version? [22:15] Boohbah: 2.6.25.4 [22:15] on hardy [22:15] johey: I don't think Ubuntu uses libata anymore.. so it doesn't work out of the box [22:15] jansen: so what keeps you from doing just that ? [22:15] icewaterman: often, vanilla kernels are unstable [22:15] what do i do when the terminal has finished the request? [22:15] icewaterman-> that dont seem right, you can not login via a console? like if you go ctrl+alt+f1 ? [22:15] icewaterman: I'm actually running kernel.org 2.6.25.4 right now, are you talking about switching vterms? [22:15] when i do that it goes: [22:15] johey: there was a sdparm utility for SATA drives.. but it didn't have all the bells and whistles of hdparm [22:16] Slart: Ah ok. I just want to check so the disk parameters looks fine. [22:16] amrik: switching from x11 back to console [22:16] how can I change number of virtual desktops from 2 to 4 ?? I'm running kubuntu and I just installed compiz and its running nice. [22:16] My notebook with hardy keeps the hdd busy during boot. Any idea how I can find out what it is doing? Splash is already disabled, the root filesystem check was just completed, and now it hangs. What can I do? [22:16] icewaterman: browse lkml for any changes in the console driver for that version... [22:16] icewaterman: are you trying to do ctrl+alt+f1? [22:16] amenado: cant [22:16] boohbah : what do i do after it got the install for wireshark? [22:16] icewaterman: or try another kernel [22:16] johey: but do a google for hdparm sata and see what you find.. there's bound to be some info out there [22:16] can anyone try to help me to get my logout to work correctly. when I logout it just goes to a black screen [22:16] frankie_: type 'wireshark' in the terminal, or maybe you can find it in the menu [22:16] hey guys [22:16] amrik: yes, and i only get a fancy background, no console [22:17] oh.. i wasnt using sudo =[[ [22:17] hi there. For some reason I can only select resolutions equal to or smaller than 640x480 with my laptop (which was running 1280x800 before my last boot). I can run glxgears so it's not a problem with my graphics card. Can anyone help? [22:17] icewaterman: a fancy background? you mean like the background you had from X? [22:17] jansen: cluebat time ! :) [22:17] frankie_: probably 'sudo wireshark' or 'gksu wireshark' [22:17] Slart: Yeah, I've done some googling... Nothing much found there. :/ But thanks anyway! I'll take a look at sdparm. [22:17] Boohbah: i tried to compile the ubuntu kernel and the corresponding modules, but failed to compile the ubuntu-modules stuff, so i chose the newer kernel from kernel.org [22:17] amrik: yes,but with a lot of noise in it [22:18] icewaterman: are you by chance using the nvidia binary driver? [22:18] icewaterman: do you need a specific feature not offered in the ubuntu kernel, or what? [22:18] pist0l-fish: I guess I'd try tweaking the modelines in the xorg.config, but that's a not very ubuntu-like way and requires quite a lot of work. [22:18] cool! now is there a way to put a shortcut on the desktop? [22:18] amrik: nope, free radeon driver [22:18] icewaterman-> can you not kill X via ctrl+shift(alt?)+backspace ? [22:18] MvG: good thinking. Sorry, I've configured X before but I seem to be terribly good at forgetting obscure conventions [22:18] johey: here's a little info.. it mentions sdparm too , http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/sata-harddisk-and-the-hdparm-command-585480/ [22:18] Boohbah: well the ubuntu kernel with its default config is kinda crap - too much debug and dangerous options, no nx-bit etc. [22:18] Slart: Thans alot! === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [22:19] amenado: i probably can, but i'm afraid i will not be able to login anymore and would have to reboot [22:19] frankie_: did you try and find it in the GNOME menu? if so you can drag it to the desktop [22:19] yeah, wasn't there. i had to sudo it [22:19] icewaterman: so you've compiled a kernel before... [22:19] icewaterman: if you tried to stop gdm via /etc/init.d/gdm stop, can you drop down to a console then? [22:19] nevermind, it needed to launch before it appeared [22:19] anyone know why a second user on my ubuntu install cant connect to wireless? [22:20] smileboot: groups [22:20] how do I findout if my soundcard is ok? [22:20] icewaterman-> or if you have ssh installed, can you try to login via ssh? [22:20] or why they cant hibernate the laptop either [22:20] smileboot: check that both users are in the same groups [22:20] smileboot: there might be a wifi group he/she has to be in [22:20] amenado: dunno, no sshd installed and i do not have another box with a monitor right now [22:20] embrik: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [22:20] i'll try to kill x11 and see what happens [22:20] smileboot-> only one user shoud be able to fiddle with network stuff (ie root)...not bunch of users.. [22:20] is the location of the splashscreen in ubuntu etc/usplash.conf ? (the config file) ? [22:20] smileboot: he might be not in the right group to use it (probably he's 'Desktop' not 'Admin' so hasnt got the rights to use ndiswrapper) [22:21] icewaterman: you did try alt+f1 ? [22:21] amenado i agree but for a laptop it should be able to connect to wifi [22:21] Hello, How do I rename a NTFS drive name? [22:21] boohbah: when i started wireshark, it warned me about using the name "root" (the warning was something along those lines) what do i do about that? [22:21] icewaterman: so the problem again is you can't switch from X to console? [22:22] how do i reset my audio drivers????? [22:22] smileboot-> a user has still go to become root priviledge..so add the 2nd user to sudoers [22:22] Boohbah, cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp made a lot of noice - so sound out seems to be ok, what about record - how do I do that? [22:22] zepherin: see if there isn't something like a ntfs-setlabel program.. [22:22] i have no sound!!! and sudo alsa foce-reload doesnt work!! HELP!!!!! [22:22] Boohbah: tried that, but i only get a screwed version of my desktop background, no console [22:22] amenado: ok ill give that a try [22:22] Boohbah: if i kill x11 same thing happens [22:22] Boohbah: this only happens when i use usplash btw.

Can someone advise how to get fglrx working? [22:23] is the location of the splashscreen in ubuntu etc/usplash.conf ? (the config file) ? [22:23] embrik: record? you mean line-in or microphone input? [22:23] How do i exit the KDE x-server [22:23] if i do not use usplash it works (without framebuffer console of course) [22:23] konner-> go to single user mode [22:23] How?

[22:38] Boohbah: well, i kinda need it because with usplash i can use a modification to cryptsetup for fulldisk encryption to only ask for 1 password and not for every partition the same password again [22:38] what is the equivalent of (windows: alt+f4) in ubuntu? [22:38] krissam-> which chip does your wifi nic card have? [22:38] thats why i need usplash [22:38] i dont have a server the comps are connected thru router [22:38] icewaterman: find a kernel that has better usplash support [22:39] what is the equivalent of (windows: alt+f4) in ubuntu? [22:39] Hello everyone. I recently decided to switch to Ubuntu 8.04 after being a windows user for most of my life. To my understanding I have to "compile" .tar.gz files in order to install them. Can someone point me to a good tutorial on installing those types of files? Thanks! [22:39] anabolix: what does alt+f4 do in windows? [22:39] closes selected window [22:39] amenado: Intel 4965 AGN [22:39] yea [22:39] Boohbah: the ubuntu kernel compiles fine, even with modifications, but i cannot compile all the modules for it because it compiles them only for the generic kernel. and custom kernel gets a differnt name [22:39] ? [22:39] otherwise i'd not be stuck with another kernel. [22:39] Sounds like someone needs to look up scifiguy's IP and report him to the IP's ARIN contact to me. [22:39] AlexRADL: what sort of tar file do you have? most software in ubuntu is already packaged for you, don't bother with tar files [22:39] alexbobp: it sounds like you're looking for package 'bash-completion'; you'll also want to look at /etc/bash_completion if you have it [22:39] LOL [22:40] krissam-> google around for the correct driver? [22:40] hey [22:40] anabolix: In Gnome it's the same. For KDE it's something else [22:40] boohbah: it closes a selected window or program automatically its kinda like going to the task manager in windows and ending a programs task or forcing it to quite [22:40] im trying to load up openvz for ubuntu [22:40] amenado: sadly if i do that now the wireless will work since this account has been logged in it only dosent work when the user logs in from an off state [22:40] anabolix-> try alt+f4 [22:40] but it says the kernel has a bug [22:40] whats PPA? [22:40] i am having multiple problems since i upgraded to hardy heron. the computer function normally for an hour...and then there is no sound, most programs won't open, or just a window pops up. i also have problems at that stage with trying to shut down or restart the computer, since the menu won't apper, so i have to unplug the computer and restart liek that [22:40] Boohbah: I wanted to install xmms, I couldn't find it in the packaged applications, so I decided to try and download it. It is a .tar.gz file. Am I missing something, is it in the packaged applications? [22:40] any thoughts ? [22:40] Hey guys, I just switched to the OSS driver and now audacity won't open up. It gives me this error: audacity: src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c:764: BuildDeviceList: Assertion `snd_config' failed. === Blasphemer is now known as rotted [22:41] Hi all, can someone give me an good graphical alternative to network-manager ??? I am using enlightenment as Desktop. [22:41] smileboot-> a user have to be logged in, and then sudo to have access to the network.. [22:41] Hello [22:41] icewaterman: how exactly are you compiling your kernel and modules? [22:41] my computer also heats up constantly [22:41] can i get some help please how do i apply a gtk theme on xchat on ubuntu? [22:41] amenado: that's what i figured i'd do if i could confirm that the drivers weren't installed but so far i'm not sure if i'm just noobing around with the answer right infront of me but :( [22:41] al_: ever since the new ubuntu? [22:41] smileboot-> maybe i dont follow -- when the user logged in from off state? meaning? [22:41] i've been looking through the logs, and there seems to be a problem with the audio diver [22:41] hey guys, anyone know how i would get divx working on ubuntu? (on firefox) [22:42] the last version of ubuntu uses customized or "almost empty" xorg.conf files ? [22:42] AlexRADL: xmms has a different name now... i forget it [22:42] anyone know what xmms is called now? [22:42] Fujisan: Just go to System -> Properties -> Appearance and go to the Themes tab and drag your tar.gz theme to there and select it. [22:42] Assid: yes, since i updated to hardy haren [22:42] audacious? [22:42] Boohbah, i couldn't find it too [22:42] rhythmbox? [22:42] krissam-> to check sudo lsmod | grep drivername [22:42] no it's not rythembox [22:42] Boohbah: like the howto from the wiki says. but it gives me a kernel named 2.6.24.3-* no matter what i do. while the standard name is 2.6.24-17-generic right now [22:42] Boohbah: Ok, I'll take a look at those. Thanks for the help! [22:42] Assid: after the last update, there is no background, just a black screen [22:42] al_: yeah.. dont blame yoụ. it acts the same way here [22:42] AlexRADL: i prefer amarok for a music player [22:42] \join #domus [22:42] AlexRADL: i mean xmms is outdated, are you sure you want to use it? [22:43] al_: atleast the heat part [22:43] amenado: ahhh well yeah when user 2 logs in they have sudo ability but canot connect to wifi if however user 1 logs in connects to wifi then switches to user 2 user 2 now has wireless (obviously) both have the same rights and privileges as far as im aware [22:43] and compiling the ubuntu modules for any other kernel than a kernel named 2.6.24-17-* seems next to impossible [22:43] any ideas ppl ? [22:43] AlexRADL: I use Amarok too. [22:43] Isn't xmms still XMMS? But there's a 2 version somewhere too. I just use the standard audio programs and they all work without xmms stuff. [22:43] AlexRADL: welcome :) [22:43] how do I activate clipboard, the programme which stores the elements i have copied or cut? [22:43] is there any alternative for network-manager ? [22:43] Boohbah: xmms is still xmms, but xmms is no longer being developed. [22:43] al_: can you log into text based? [22:43] Pici: i see, so audacious is a fork? [22:43] Hey guys, I just switched to the OSS driver and now audacity won't open up. It gives me this error: audacity: src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c:764: BuildDeviceList: Assertion `snd_config' failed. [22:43] Boohbah: I believe so. [22:43] SoulChild, wlassistant? [22:44] nope...but i'm not that good in command line, if that's what u mean [22:44] embrik, i ll try it, thanks [22:44] SoulChild: sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces :) [22:44] Boohbah: Ok. Well, what I am really looking for is a program like Winamp for ubuntu. I used to run my radio show on winamp with a specific plug in and I am looking for a program to replace winamp. So, can anyone recommend a program that I can stream my radio in? Thanks for the welcome! :) [22:44] hi ppl [22:44] stefg, :D [22:44] smileboot-> am not really following what you are trying to do, only one user should have access to the network stuff, can you imagine if user1 wants to connect to AP1 and user2 to AP2 ..you follow? [22:44] stefg, maybe your r right, i should configure it to my needs [22:44] /join #ubuntu-es [22:45] al_: do you have any graphics? [22:45] can someone tell me is there any way to read HDD from mac os x on ubuntu? I mean, I can read it, but I can open the user directory, dont have permissions [22:45] SoulChild-> i read somewhere wicd, but i myself prefer the command line to vim interfaces file [22:45] how can I pass permissions? [22:45] BCM43: yes, but no desktop [22:45] hey guys, anyone know how i would get divx working on ubuntu? (on firefox) [22:45] Alex, does the shoutcast site not say the linux alternative for streaming? [22:45] al_: you ran the update? did it freeze after it? [22:46] BCM43: nope, all updates installed successfuly [22:46] al_: sudo aptitude update [22:46] amenado: well this is a laptop so the need for either user to be able to connect to a wireless network after bootup is quite important user 1 has it setup she it auto connects ive tried setting up the same thing for user 2 but i cant even connect manually just asks for the access point password over and over [22:46] Hey guys, I just switched to the OSS driver and now audacity won't open up. It gives me this error: audacity: src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c:764: BuildDeviceList: Assertion `snd_config' failed. === rotted is now known as Blasphemer [22:46] !ppc [22:46] PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [22:47] NovaXeros: It says XMMS is the linux alternative. That's why I had the question about downloading XMMS. Apparently it is outdated though :P [22:47] smileboot: ubuntu has problems with WEP [22:47] BCM43: aptitude sais eevrything updated [22:47] smileboot-> perhaps you were not clear, are the users 1 and 2 logged in to same laptop at same time? [22:47] Flare183: was that for you or someone else? i can help you with a ppc. [22:47] can someone tell me is there any way to read HDD from mac os x on ubuntu? I mean, I can read it, but I cant open the user directory, dont have permissions [22:47] BCM43: it was for someone [22:47] hey guys, anyone know how i would get divx working on ubuntu? (on firefox) [22:47] BCM43: when i run a program, all i can see is the borders of the windows. nothing else [22:47] icanic in fact [22:47] Should I use something else (besides XMMS)? [22:48] al_: press ctrl + alt + F1, and login, then run uname -a [22:48] Ah yes, that's right. As much as xmms isn't under development anymore, I think it is still available for use, and still works okay. Have you tried it at all yet? [22:48] Flare183: put | [22:48] * Flare183 knew this already [22:48] I mean, I can't be certain. I'm no linux expert. In fact, very much the opposite, but I'd like to offer as much assistance as I can. [22:49] AlexRADL ... the newer ones like Amarok have functions to stream out whatever playlist you're playing. [22:49] hi guys, I'm having some really weird Xorg troubles [22:49] its literally repeatedly logging in [22:49] Grobda24: Oh, ok. I'll try Amarok out then. Thanks for the help Nova. [22:49] No problem Alex. [22:49] So, are most of the applications that I will ever need already packaged? [22:50] Didn't like Amarok at all. [22:50] I checked syslog and it says "failed to authenticate user" [22:50] AlexRADL: yes [22:50] and repeated roughly 100 times [22:50] BCM43: Ok, awesome. [22:50] plugins to watch webtv? firefox 3.0 beta, ubuntu hardy [22:50] has anyone heard of this behavior before? [22:51] possible hack attempt [22:51] any one knows what theme opensuse 11 beta 3 is using? [22:51] Bloated, stuff running in background, can't make sense of my perfectly hierarchically ordered mp3 files (100s of 'Various Artist' and same name artists, and you need to right click the icon to REALLLLY close it, upon which it fades volume to zero before exiting, and then closing the file window where I dragged my mp3s from... [22:51] i want to know what driver a pci-device is using. Help me? [22:51] matthew-> yes, someone trying to login and failed [22:51] Can I recommend updating firefox 3 beta in hardy to the release candidate? I had some stability issues with the defualt one that comes with Hardy, but updating to RC1 helped a lot. [22:51] Gin: You'd be better off asking the opensuse people. === irc_ is now known as useless_k1tty [22:51] I'm not able to watch webtv, can anyone tell me what plugins to install? [22:51] the_eraser: lspci [22:51] And it didn't have the standard nav keys out of the box. OK, /rant :) [22:51] BCM43: i did that [22:52] hi [22:52] embrik-> webtv? dont know, try miro [22:52] BCM43: now what ? [22:52] al_: what did it return? [22:52] I liked XMMS, would have been it for me if the volume control actually allowed changing volume. Any ideas? :) [22:52] where can i browse for linux-compatible webcams? [22:52] !webcam | Azhi_Dahaka [22:52] Azhi_Dahaka: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:52] BCM43: the kernel version [22:52] amenado: no not at the same time well not usually hence why this is an issue id like user 2 to be able to bootup and use the laptop without user one having to login first just to connect to the wifi [22:52] BCM43: but it says nothing about drivers, right? [22:52] I have a question about torrent programs. I used uTorrent on windows, and someone recommended that I used Deluge on Linux. Would that be the best alternative or would something like Transmission be better? [22:52] NovaXeros .. I thought that beta was RC1 under a different name ! Why is it not updating it'self ? [22:52] al_: i know, put what it said in the channel [22:52] I thought i can mount bind a directory to partition mounted to /media/disk-1 and then the new files created will be at the new partition..but apparently not..like so.. mount --bind /vz /media/disk-1; touch f1.txt; but when i unmount the /bz from /media/disk-1 no files is in the partition [22:53] BCM43: 2.6.24-17-generic #1 SMP [22:53] the_eraser: drivers, oh, i guess not [22:53] what happened with GKSU? it's not working anymore... the administrator menus' entries are not working also [22:53] BCM43: :/ [22:53] al_: ok, that is fine. updated correctly. your not getting errors anywhere? [22:53] smileboot-> check /etc/group and match all the user1 group memberships then same with sudoers file [22:53] BCM43: nope [22:54] Does anyone use KGS(kiseido go server) I got the restricted extensions package with java etc yet I still can't get the pages to load right... [22:54] grobda24: I'm not sure. It might well be that it is, in fact, the same program, but when I installed a fresh Hardy, it always showed Firefox 3 Beta 5 in the title window, but now I've updated to RC1, that's gone, and it crashes a whole load less. Perhaps it was just my original installation that was buggered, but from what I saw, updating made a difference. [22:54] AlexRADL: I've just been reading a link about how deluge misuses ext3 filesystems and causes excessive file fragmentation. [22:54] Any idea why XMMS volume knob won't change volume? Tried ALSA, OSS... The other players can do it. [22:55] al_: are you on a seperate computer now? [22:55] ArthurArchnix: Hmm, that's weird. So, do you think Transimission would be the best alternative, or something else? [22:55] BCM43: on the same one [22:55] AlexRADL: I've just installed transmission and it's pretty ok. A lot of people swear by rtorrent & screen. Those are about the only two I'd use, but the girlfriend needs to use it too, so rtorrent is out. CoLI only. [22:55] Hi, im trying to get epsxe to work but it needs libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 but its not in the repos. where can I find it? [22:55] How do I use Quicktime in firefox in linux? [22:55] al_: run sudo shutdown now, then choose fix broken packages, then restart [22:55] anyone got a wintv-hvr950 (usb tv tuner) working? [22:56] al_: sudo shutdown now will not shut it down [22:56] ArthurArchnix: Ok, I'll check out rtorrent. Thanks. [22:56] http://pastebin.org/39310 anyone know how to handle unmounting a sshfs mount which refuses to umount [22:56] rinaldi_: have you activated the Universe and Multiverse repos? [22:56] NovaXeros: yes [22:56] omg ubuntu is being annoying [22:57] AlexRADL: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=801737 scroll down to about 14 and read the rest. It's got some good links for you to go over [22:57] AlexRADL: ktorrent [22:57] Ok, thanks guys. I appreciate all the help. I'm definitely glad I made the switch from windows :) [22:57] What happens if I have a restricted driver in use? [22:58] ArthurArchnix: you could use transmission-cli and screen [22:58] Hey, I have a problem. If somebody could help me that would be great. I finally got Ubuntu to recognize my wireless card by using ndiswrapper and the xp drivers for it. Everything seems to be in working order except when I try to connect to my network it does it's little "Trying to connect" thing but can never seem to get on. [22:58] NovaXeros: it says it can't find it, where I know I installed it in gutsy... [22:58] Sitherae: then you are using a binary module which taints support from the kernel developers [22:59] rinaldi: that file should be in the universe repo according to google. I would check myself, but for the next 20 or so mins, I'm stuck on a live CD whilst I repartition my hard drives. [22:59] Sitherae: errr taints the kernel, which the developers cannot support [22:59] ubuntuisloved-> can you try fuser -ki /www/REMOTEMOUNT === pr4bh is now known as heavymetal [22:59] what happened with 'gksu'? the administrator menus' entries are not working and with the terminal it's not working also [22:59] Boohbah: Is a restricted driver like the one from the nvidia website? [22:59] Sitherae: the nvidia driver is a restricted driver, yes [23:00] BCM43: Thanks for your help today! [23:00] i got the live cd and tried to boot off it on my comp and it boot off it and i said run the os from the cd but not install it and it booted and did the screen with the orangeish thing that went back anf forth and then it came to a tan screen and all there was was the mousse and then it changed to a black background and i left it foer about an hour and it never did anything and all icould do was move the mouse -_- [23:00] Ok, to my understanding there are certain "repos" that are used to download applications. I can seem to find rtorrent or ktorrent in the "Applications" tap. Is there anything I need to add? [23:00] Boohbah: Alright. Anyway I can get the message to go away? I don't really care :) === CaptainPanda is now known as CaptainPanda2 [23:00] Sitherae: also, ndiswrapper drivers [23:00] can't seem to find* [23:00] BCM43: i did that. but the system couldn't boot again. i had to restart [23:00] rinaldi: Once you've updated your sources.list file to include the multi and uni for your version of the distro, hardy/edgy/etc, make sure you update synaptics sources or your apt-get command line, then do apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 [23:00] amenado, perfection dude thanks [23:00] Bensawsome: try hitting CTRL_ALT_BACKSPACE [23:00] ok [23:00] ty [23:00] Sitherae: oh where is the message? i can't help since my ubuntu doesn't look like yours :) [23:00] BCM43: it also told me there are some packages that are no longer needed [23:00] Desktop_ ... from what I know about ndsiwrapper just because the hardware is recognised and the drivers load does not mean they actually do anything. If it's reported working it should be listed on the ndiswrapper wiki. [23:01] had to restart comp so i try it later [23:01] thanks [23:01] Boohbah: Its in the system tray on the right hand side [23:01] ubuntuisloved-> come back again anytime [23:01] Boobah: Has that little icon [23:01] Hi, Does anybody know if linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-17-generic is supposed to be installed together with the 2.6.24-17-generic kernel when the -16 restricted was installed previously? [23:01] so has anyone had a problem where their X server just constantly kicks them back to the login window? [23:01] Sitherae: yeah i don't use gnome [23:01] Boohbah: Ahh. KDE? [23:01] It is in the list for supported in the wiki. [23:01] My syslog says "warning: couldn't authenticate user", about 500 times [23:01] ARGH... no fucking wonder my wireless doesn't work... the frigging retailer gave me a wrong wireless adapter :/ [23:01] Sitherae: yes [23:01] Any ideas why XMMS won't change volume? ESD is enabled. Help! [23:02] Like, I can see the wireless networks around my house. I just can't connect. [23:02] matthew-> is it a valid user? [23:02] How do I make apt-get ignore a specific dependency when installing a package? [23:02] anyone into drivers? [23:02] maximilion: because xmms is a piece of crap [23:02] hello! [23:02] Boobah: Also. Whats the difference between the 17, 16, and 14 at start up? [23:02] I'm not pressing enter or anything, the gdm tries to authenticate, then fails, and tries again, and fails. By itself [23:02] alexbobp: I don't think you can do that, but you can do it manually with dpkg [23:02] Sitherae: those are different versions of the kernel [23:02] Desktop_-> dont use wep or wpa or wpa2 or any encryption and see if it works [23:02] Boohbah, can you recommend a nice simple one like it but better? [23:02] Desktop_ ... you could try #ndiswrapper , or, do they have a forum ? [23:02] Sitherae: best to use the latest if it works ok [23:02] alexbobp: note that doing it may break your system. [23:03] how can i reinstall all of my kernel modules? or better yet? just the ones associated with alsa and my sound card? [23:03] Boobah: cool thanks [23:03] amenado, since you seemed to know that last problem i've sometimes had applications in Java like Eclipse hang when VPN goes down and i tried kill -9 but it still hangs is there something else i could do to force an app to stop? [23:03] ok, I'll try turning off the encryption. One sec. [23:03] maximilion: what are your requirements? low memory usage? gui? command line? [23:03] Chousuke: wouldn't the worst case be breaking the package I'm installing with missing dependancies? [23:03] Ive got a little question... Ive got a laptop with special key FN+F2 for pushing my volume up and down... and in gnome it worked since I first installed hardy... so now I wanna switch to fluxbox and need to know which app it is that makes my hotkeys for adjusting my volume possible.. could anyone plzzz take a look at: http://pastebin.org/39311 and tell me what app it is????? [23:03] maximilion: music library management?\ [23:03] Boohbah, "Like Winamp 3".. kinda... or FooBar2000 :) [23:04] alexbobp: It might confuse apt. [23:04] attig.. men du hade ändå råd med chokladkakor? =) [23:04] alexbobp: what package is it, though? === CaptainPanda2 is now known as CaptainPanda [23:04] ubuntuisloved-> you tried kill -9 `pid of eclipse` ? [23:04] doh.. [23:04] my bad, sorry [23:04] Boohbah, don't need management, I have a folder structure that works fine for me :) [23:04] maximilion: i haven't used foobar [23:04] Oh, does anyone have any idea how to increase the number of virtual desktops so I have an actual 'cube' in Compiz? [23:04] maximilion: i guess xmms is the closest to winamp 3 [23:04] And also, if it's possible to run the Usplash screen in 1280x800 [23:04] Hi, I followed the tutorial on how to enable DVD playback on the FAQ, but it still doesn't work in totem-xine [23:04] Chousuke: I want to install wine without installing libgphoto2-2, or install libgphoto2-2 without installing udev. [23:04] NovaXeros: in that compiz config settings manager thingy [23:04] !ccsm | NovaXeros [23:04] NovaXeros: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy), install 'simple-ccsm'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion === m13 is now known as m1r [23:05] Is this the appropriate channel to ask a question about Deluge? [23:05] alexbobp: you... don't have udev installed? [23:05] amenado, yes but eclipse was using files from /www/REMOTEMOUNT so i wonder if that had any impact? i know it was the reason it hung but shouldnt it still be able to kill with kill -9 PID [23:05] NovaXeros: i would guess usplash won't work at that resolution [23:05] alexbobp: or is it trying to dl udev from a non-ubuntu repository? [23:05] The new firefox is uglyh [23:05] Chousuke: It's on colinux. All the stuff that interacts directly with hardware can't be installed. [23:05] ugly* [23:05] Hi there. Is it possible to remove an update from update manager? I do not want to update a software, because there is a bug in that version, but I'm also tired of seeing the update notes all the time [23:05] 8-) [23:05] alexbobp: ah [23:05] Boohbah, yeah, and there's a Winamp 3 alpha 1 for Linux, but... it feels like the volume control thing should be solvable [23:05] When trying to start bitlbee on my server(it's running dapper) I get a permission denied problem. "Can't read/write from/tp /var/lib/bitlbee/" Then, it says, "Fatal signal received: 2. That's probably a bug." What can I do to make it work? [23:05] mmhh, no one :(? [23:05] Alright, thanks very much. Will give it a bash when I get back onto my main installation. [23:06] error 16: Inconsistent filesystem, what does this mean? [23:06] imma make a sandwich, back in 5 [23:06] alexbobp: download the libgphoto package manually. [23:06] or alternately, "psh, udev is for wimps." [23:06] alexbobp: then you need to install it with dpkg and the appropriate --force -flags [23:06] ubuntuisloved-> impact in what sense? and which pid are you trying to kill -9 ? [23:06] Hey guys (and gals) I just installed Deluge and now I want to remove Transmission. But I do not know how, and it is NOT in the add remove apps program. What do i do? [23:07] Chousuke: can I make apt-get download the deb without thinking about dependancies? [23:07] has anyone had any success in using a windows media center remote with linux, i remember for my keyboard i use something called keytouch, is there anything along those lines for remote controls? [23:07] !pulseaudio [23:07] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [23:07] ^^ BUGGY [23:07] DO NOT DISTRIBUTE [23:07] mysterioso: sudo apt-get remove transmission [23:07] mysterioso: in the terminal type in sudp apt-get remove deluge [23:07] :-P [23:07] sudo * [23:07] .... [23:07] amenado, eclipse PID .....im saying if the remote mount with sshfs goes down which eclipse was using it hangs eclipse i cant seem to kill off eclipse when it happens the last thing someone here told me was to reboot? ive not heard that since windows era back 2 years ago? [23:08] Flare183: And he wants to remove transmission not deluge. :p [23:08] flare183 except I want to remove transmission [23:08] alexbobp: apt-get -d install libgphoto2-2 [23:08] Sorry [23:08] maximilion: did you have xmms working in another version of ubuntu? [23:08] mysterioso: Do what alexbobp said. [23:08] ok [23:08] J-_: Does it need to be run as root? [23:08] Flare183: You should be. :p [23:08] how do I set deluge as default for bittorrent files/ [23:08] MrObvious: Sarcasm? [23:08] will00: LIRC is good for remote controls [23:09] Chousuke: it refuses to download the deb because of dependancy handling. [23:09] mysterioso: I would just find a torrent file and right click it and try the Open With or whatever. [23:09] Flare183: No. :p [23:09] ok stormx2_ is there a good gui program for that or is it all text mode? [23:09] MrObvious: Then stupid response? [23:09] mysterioso: firefox? [23:09] nvm [23:09] Flare183: lol [23:09] !lol [23:09] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [23:09] boohbah I am using firefox [23:09] will00: I *think* it's all text mode, but its not too hard to set up. I can help you through it, if you like. [23:10] alexbobp: ah, aptitude can do it [23:10] alexbobp: aptitude download whatever [23:10] ok that would be perfect [23:10] IRC is IM. It's just IM with a bit more grammatical skills. [23:10] mysterioso: so click on the torrent link and "open with..." [23:10] I wish [23:10] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras will install quicktime for firefox [23:10] alexbobp: No its not [23:10] * Flare183 is a IRC Op Helper [23:10] Flare183: Suckup. :p Hahaha j/k. [23:10] Flare183: any synchronous text messaging is IM. [23:10] alexbobp: i feel like we have high standards for irc here [23:11] Chousuke: thanks. I'll have to install aptitude, but if it works, it works [23:11] boohbah yes i know, but i am trying to streamline, soo I was hoping someone could tell me a way to make deluge default. or any program for any file for that matter. [23:11] how do i open a .rpm file? [23:11] Boohbah: Yeah lol. [23:11] MrObvious: No Actually I am trying to be a Ubuntu Member thank you [23:11] IRC is multiplayer notepad, but that doesn't matter. This is a support channel, not a chin-wagging session. [23:11] alexbobp: then you can install the libgphoto thing with dpkg -i libgphoto*deb --ignore-depends=udev [23:11] !ot [23:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:11] will00, okay, that remote is definately supported [23:11] Flare183: I'm just messing. Chill man. [23:11] alright [23:11] hajjjjj [23:11] mysterioso: did you check the box that says "use this program by default" ? [23:11] MrObvious: ok I know... [23:12] uuuuhhhh..... hold on [23:12] Ive got a little question... Ive got a laptop with special key FN+F2 for pushing my volume up and down... and in gnome it worked since I first installed hardy... so now I wanna switch to fluxbox and need to know which app it is that makes my hotkeys for adjusting my volume possible.. could anyone plzzz take a look at: http://pastebin.org/39311 and tell me what app it is????? [23:12] boohbah where is this box? [23:12] Uhh. What's going on with the openoffice packages? [23:13] stormx2_ is there someplace we can talk with less traffic? [23:13] sudo aptitude full-upgrade keeps asking me to resolve an openoffice conflict by removing parts of openoffice one by one. [23:13] Quick question - is it still possible to upgrade from Edgy - as its repository seems to have been removed from the main repository site ?? [23:13] will00: PM okay? [23:13] hold on [23:13] Need to identify to services. === Stormx2_ is now known as Stormx2 [23:13] Greetings all; I'm looking for an FAQ or other online reference tool for basic terminal commands, what they mean, what they do, etc. Does anyone know where I should go to start learning some of the commands? [23:14] tyberion: It's a keybinding kind of thing I think. If you go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts you will see a volume adjustment setting and see which key it is. On mine it is XF86Audio(whatever). [23:14] Boohbah, I'm on Gutsy Gibbon, and yeah it works perfectly bar the volume control... kinda useful feature to have tho :) [23:14] !terminal | Mohenjo [23:14] Mohenjo: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:14] mysterioso: ok it seems a little broken in firefox 3 beta 5 on hardy... is that what you're using? [23:14] I've only had Gutsy so... [23:14] no I am using gutsy [23:14] cliveRummble: old-releases.ubuntu.com should let you get up to date and then move to feisty [23:14] Chousuke: thanks, it's working. [23:14] anybody know how to apply the 3dmark patch to 0.9.59 wine? [23:14] cliveRummble: I've never done it, but that's what I would try anyway [23:14] boohbah no i am using gutsy [23:14] mysterioso: edit > preferences > applications ... at least in ff3 [23:14] thanks [23:14] hey guys [23:15] !hi | Milk [23:15] Milk: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:15] aldrin [23:15] I just upgraded to 8.04 via the update manager [23:15] cliveRummble: note that you need to upgrade edgy -> feisty -> gutsy -> hardy, so a backup and reinstall may be faster/easier [23:15] Change of topic :) Are there any laptop manuf. that officially support Linux? [23:15] What the hell has Ubuntu done to the open office packages? [23:15] MrObvious: yeah I got athat too.. on launch media player... but... how would I integrate that into fluxbox? [23:15] It's only removing it. And now it's not even doing an upgrade [23:15] enabled the restricted nvidia drivers and now my dual monitors are broke... I'm lost.. I tried restoring a backup of the xorg.conf, and that doesn't seem to change anything [23:15] tyberion: You might be better off asking in a more fluxbox specific channel. I'm sure there are keybinding settings in Flux though. [23:15] maximilion: can you change the volume with the sound mixer app? [23:15] Or the other way, distros that officially say "working well with this / that laptop" [23:15] It said it wanted to install oo.org 2.4.1 to replace 2.4.0 and it needed to remove the existing version. [23:16] hi guys [23:16] MrObvious: there are.. but I think I cant use the gnome thingies there.... so I need to get used to amixer I guess [23:16] !laptop | maximilion [23:16] maximilion: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org === CaptainPanda2 is now known as CaptainPanda [23:16] Boohbah, had ALSAmixergui working, now it won't start [23:16] will00, have you seen my PMs? [23:16] tyberion: There might be a volume setting. You'd have to look for yourself though. [23:16] will check into that. weird. [23:16] jrib - indeed, but I have customized some of the system so a complete reinstall may be painful.... [23:16] im trying to get divx to work on firefox but having problems (on ubuntu) [23:16] stormx2 yes [23:17] Have you sent any back? [23:17] Hello, I'm looking for a channel to talk about Ubuntu programming. Could you help me please? [23:17] Whats the tool that lets you grab keys? [23:17] Apparently LIRC setup is very easy nowerdays [23:17] ok [23:17] Stormx2: Can I have my own IRC server? [23:17] cliveRummble: not if you make backups [23:17] anybody? [23:17] debian: What? [23:17] maximilion: how bout 'amixer' from the terminal? [23:17] Well, yeah, you could [23:17] Why ask me though? [23:18] tyberion: I'm not sure. You could play with the Gnome one and then figure out what the key names are. [23:18] Stormx2: I want something cool for my ubuntu 8.04 [23:18] okay [23:18] !info ircd-hybrid | debian [23:18] debian: ircd-hybrid (source: ircd-hybrid): high-performance secure IRC server. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:7.2.2.dfsg.2-3 (hardy), package size 547 kB, installed size 2200 kB [23:18] Well [23:18] I tried turning off encryption but I still cannot connect [23:18] maximilion: or alsamixer from terminal === seric is now known as s3ric [23:18] jrib - yes but there are changes to /etc for my laptop vido card, tomcat changes, and probably other stuff that isn't in /home. Maybe my fault... but I don't see an easy way to find what I have changed. Or am I missing something? [23:19] genii: Hmm [23:19] anyone with any thoughts on restoring my dual monitor setup (or even resolutions higher than 800X600 atm) [23:19] I'l think about it [23:19] But I want to change resolution [23:19] And I am scared of text files [23:19] im trying to get divx to work on firefox but having problems (on ubuntu) [23:19] cliveRummble: meh, you have to decide which approach would be more work, it's really up to you [23:19] Milk: what did you change? [23:19] What should I do? [23:19] debian: but your name is debian [23:19] debian: Don't be scared of text files. [23:20] stormx2, i havnt had much luck with some of the programs, most of them dont show my remote in them [23:20] debian: i imagine it's pretty difficult to use debian without text files [23:20] Just tell me how to fix the resplution! [23:20] Boohbah, Upgraded to 8.04, enabled restricted nvidia driver, restarted gdm [23:20] Boohbah: Webin + a lot of plugins [23:20] the wine source directory is /usr/lib/wine right? [23:20] brb... trying something [23:20] how do i see if i have a lib installed? [23:20] hey guys. I'm having some major problems with gdm [23:20] debian: something else about debian... they like people who know how to read and learn [23:21] I can't log in! It keeps auto-logging in for me, and failing, then auto-logging again [23:21] Is there a way to roll back HH to GG? [23:21] will00: Which programs have you tried? [23:21] talcite508: what kind? [23:21] nemilar: no. [23:21] Have you installed LIRC? [23:21] debian: you asked about running an irc server and now you want to change screen resolution? which is it? [23:21] jrib - thanks - I think I will go to bed and sleep on it! [23:21] stormx2, yes [23:21] Boohbah: But Ubuntu is for stupid people [23:21] and back [23:21] didn't work [23:21] Boohbah: Screeb res [23:21] BCM43: all my syslog says is "warning:couldn't authenticate user" about 500 times [23:22] Pici: :( 8.04 is too buggy [23:22] I can start a tty, but that's it [23:22] debian: so have you tried the fine gui tool available for that task? [23:22] will00: Some programs have LIRC interfaces built in. Some don't. But first you need to test that LIRC is working. Open a terminal and type "irw". Then start pressing buttons on your remote. [23:22] debian: You must believe Donald Knuth is stupid because he seems to like and use Ubuntu a lot. [23:22] Boohbah: Where and what is it named? === nith is now known as Nith [23:22] See if some stuff comes up. [23:22] talcite508: when you go to text based, can you log in? [23:22] yesudeep2: for real? [23:22] hey, FF tells me I need more plugins, and it didn't find them (application/x-mplayer2) [23:22] so how do I get that [23:22] Boohbah: Yes, Donald Knuth uses Ubuntu. [23:22] yesudeep2: i hear linus uses fedora. last i heard [23:22] BCM43: yes, no problem [23:23] ese estas hay [23:23] Screen resolution can fix it" [23:23] Jay! [23:23] !es | lemarroy [23:23] lemarroy: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:23] Yeah. Linus has used Fedora, SuSE, Ubuntu, etc. but not Debian because he thinks the mindset of Debian is not right. [23:23] <\3TATUK> I've never seen update-notifier display anything other than 'The list of changes is not available yet.

I might not see them otherwise. [23:25] isn't there a gui for dual monitor setup now? [23:25] ok stormx2 [23:25] Can onylp me? [23:25] Uatec_, GNU Binary Utilities (binutils). [23:25] yesudeep2: got tired of long compiles on my slow machine [23:25] Hi everybody. Has anybody had experience setting up surround sound under pulseaudio? I can't seem to get mine working... [23:25] BCM43: is that is? [23:25] oh, thanks smallfoot- [23:26] :) [23:26] Boohbah: Exactly why I stopped using Gentoo. [23:26] hi I installed hardy on two USB flash with raid0 [23:26] damn [23:26] what's happened was my machine crashed [23:26] yesudeep2: when i get a new dual core i'll at least run it in virtualbox to mess around with it [23:26] Stupid question: how do I find my processor information (speed, type) without going into the BIOS? [23:26] and now problem is I can boot only with cdrom [23:26] and when i started back up again ld can't find /usr/bin/../lib/cd [23:26] and i can vouch for it, it's not there [23:27] weepel cat proc/cpu [23:27] but i don't know why it would be looking there [23:27] Uatec_: is your path the same? [23:27] yesudeep2: and the community fragmentation... but i think some good things will come of it [23:27] Stormx2, is irc case sensitive? [23:27] thanks markotitel [23:27] !offtopic | Boohbah [23:27] nith, that path doesn't exist, that's not where cd is [23:27] a) i don't know where cd is [23:27] talcite508: try sudo aptitude install libpam-smbpass [23:27] b) i don't know where it's supposed to be [23:28] Uatec_: I mean is your $PATH correct [23:28] Does 8.04 still use xorg? [23:28] c) i don't know why ld is looking there [23:28] ahh [23:28] well, i can use the cd command [23:28] !enter | Uatec_ [23:28] Uatec_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:28] why can't I play this in firefox? http://qtss.arts.usyd.edu.au/japanese/jpns2621/lesson08.mov [23:28] weepal under hardy you do "cat /proc/cpuinfo" [23:28] BCM43: i really do like ubottu [23:28] sorry Boohbah [23:28] I installed ubtuntu-restricted-extras [23:28] markotitel, hurm, no such file or dir [23:29] this is 6.10 [23:29] Nith, i don't know if it is correct or not [23:29] Boohbah: i can tell, you talk to it privately a lot [23:29] weepal.. just cd to the /cat directory and then do "ls"... you should see cpu somewhere. Try and cat it. [23:29] i don't know what it was before the crash, so i have no way to compare [23:29] I am installing Hardy right now on my laptop, though. People relatively happy with it? [23:29] thanks ArthurArchnix [23:29] mepsipax: sudo aptitude install ~ngstreamer0.10-plugins mplayer vlc [23:29] hellol [23:29] BCM43: do i? why do you say that?

[23:30] Slart, smug content? how so? [23:30] yes [23:30] wepeel: honestly, I've had nothing but problems since I've upgraded to HH [23:30] Uatec_, yeah, I think so [23:30] I am doing a fresh install [23:30] Boohbah: you sent the offtopic to yourself [23:30] are you using fully qualified paths? [23:30] Uatec_: what were you doing when your machine crashed? [23:30] nemilar: like what? [23:31] wepeel: I was kind of expecting a bit more from a LTS release.. but it still works.. and I still get to feel smug when I talk to my windows-friends =) [23:31] !prayer > Boohbah [23:31] BCM43: yes, i was straying offtopic [23:31] BCM43: it's stuck with openGL desktop enabled, even if I turned it off; it's stuck with emerald instead of metacity; epiphany keeps crashing [23:31] i'm not, i just called ld with a bunch of relative paths, and it says "ld: cannot find cd" and gives that path "/usr/bin/../lib/cd" when i put it in verbose mode [23:31] when I'm editing an item in the menu, how do I make sure the item runs as root? [23:31] BCM43: pulseaudio is garbage; flash crashes all the time [23:31] Condoulo: put a gksudo in front of the command [23:31] Boohbah, ,i wasn't doing much, but it was the host machine that crashed (this linux machine is a virtual machine in virtualbox) [23:31] Slart, heh. I've been using 6.10 for a long time...I hope this will be better *crosses fingers* [23:32] Slart, Thanks. :) [23:32] nemilar: flash crashes in firefox? [23:32] wepeel, i'm using hardy heron now, it's making me very happy, it's so damn fast [23:32] Uatec_: what OS is the host?

[23:33] yesudeep2: fire fox flash crash [23:33] well it's running ok (ish, X configuration was broken before) [23:33] BCM43: but I rather use Epiphany rather than FF, anyhow [23:33] hmm, i wonder how i could do some sort of check disk [23:33] i don't particularly want to have to intsall it (ps. if i do, i'm going to take a back up of the disk image as soon as i'm done) [23:33] ok stormx2, i have lirc installed [23:33] Wicked. [23:34] will00: Some programs have LIRC interfaces built in. Some don't. But first you need to test that LIRC is working. Open a terminal and type "irw". Then start pressing buttons on your remote. [23:34] Ok, this is strange. I cat'ed proc/cpuinfo and got AMD Athlon 64 3200+ with cpuMHz at 800.000 . I thought this was a faster processor... any reports of incorrect processor reporting in 6.10? [23:34] BCM43: Epiphany will refuse to open once a day, and the only way I've found to fix it is a reboot... logging out/in doesn't help [23:34] Uatec_: fsck /dev/sdx [23:34] Uatec_: only fsck with disks unmounted, so if it's root do it at boot [23:34] wepeel: your processor clocks itself down when it's not doing anything really important..

[23:35] bye bye [23:35] will00: Try doing this first: sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start [23:35] Uatec_: wait [23:35] yes? [23:35] where can I get a new sources.list for Hardy Powerpc? [23:35] will00: Or it may be this: sudo /etc/init.d/lircd start [23:35] wepeel: cat /proc/cpuinfo [23:35] night guys :) thx Boohbah, Stormx2 :) [23:35] nemilar: cant help you with the rest, try asking on the channel [23:36] jbroome, yep, that's what I did [23:36] stormx2, you had it the first time [23:36] Uatec_: i think you need to boot with some option [23:36] McJester: you should not need it, it should be automatic [23:36] BCM43: thanks for the FF flash help, though [23:36] wepeel: there's probably some weird file you can look at somewhere in the /proc tree.. I've given up trying to remember all the neat stuff in there [23:36] thanks [23:36] Uatec_: to run fsck before the root filesystem is mounted [23:36] In VLC it says Unable to open 'rtsp://129.78.16.29:80/japanese/jpns2621/lesson08.mov' [23:36] ddddddddd [23:36] Ok, I still can't get my wireless working. I have ndiswrapper and the driver installed. It shows my network in the manager and I can select it, but after I type in my key it just does it's little 'trying to connect' thing and then nothing. [23:36] BCM43, I screwed mine up without making a backup [23:36] Boohbah, yes, i was going to google for that [23:36] hi, im using 8.04 and I can't get my external monitor to work, any advice? [23:36] will00: Does irw work now? [23:36] first i'm backing up my data [23:37] Catslacks: what wireless card? [23:37] Uatec_: ok, great! [23:37] Cazy_Mofo, are you running a laoptop, then? [23:37] yes [23:37] D-Link DWA542 [23:37] by work do you mean sit there in the terminal and give no output when i press buttons? [23:37] McJester: ill give you a copy of mine. Where is it again> [23:37] I give lots of presentations on my laptop and it's essential that the monitor out work. I'm installing 8.04 right now [23:38] I'm curious, though, to see what the BIOS on this machine says. Be bcak in a bit :) [23:38] Catslacks: please do lspci and put the result in pastebin [23:38] Is there anyone who has chucK running? I apparently don't have my sound setup for it and don't know how to take care of it. [23:39] I'm on a different computer, but I can go write down what you need [23:39] ok. There, a proper irc client [23:39] so yeah, I'm totally stumped and very worried [23:39] improper irc client sounds dirty [23:39] basically, my entire system just went haywire [23:39] Catslacks: Is your computer not connected to the internet in any way? [23:39] stormx2, i think its working [23:39] Accept the defaults, an option will come up to set a description, set one and enter, select the next default, job done - checkinstall created a .deb package, installed it and left a copy in the folder you're working in. [23:39] Is text showing up when you press buttons? [23:39] No. [23:40] (on the remote) [23:40] Are my problems with SWF unique? I've reinstalled gstreamer, totem, firefox 3 (then uninstalled it to go back to 2 to see if that was the issue), nsplugin, gnash...I'm out of ideas on why SWF (local) file will only open a FF window and will sit there as if it were loading...for hours [23:40] what do they mean by the set one and enter? [23:40] GDM is stuck in an endless login loop. It automatically logs in with empty credentials and of course fails [23:40] stormx2, no nothing shows up [23:40] hi, is anyone familiar with the usage of amixer??? [23:40] will00: Hmm. Not good. [23:40] stormx2 i kinda figured [23:40] You selected your remote during the install, yeah? [23:40] talcite, create an empty credential user? [23:40] if I go into a tty and start xorg manually, it starts, but all the windows flash on and off, and no taskbars appear [23:40] Catslacks: It's easier pasting command output to the pastebin if you use pastebinit and have at least a wired connection. [23:41] !prefix [23:41] 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 :) [23:41] sudo aptitude install pastebinit and then lspci | pastebinit [23:41] its as if the windowmanager went insane [23:41] Yes, I know. And if I could have one I would be doing that. But I can't. Sorry to sound blunt, but I've had to explain this at least 10 times, haha. [23:41] Should 64 bit stuff be faster than 32 bit stuff on a 64 cpu? [23:41] BCM43, LordOllie, any ideas? [23:41] !prefix | yesudeep2 talcite2 Catslacks [23:41] yesudeep2 talcite2 Catslacks: 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 :) [23:41] debian: barely [23:42] Slart: Is the ubuntu intel driver bether than the windows intel driver? [23:42] talcite2 did you put it in pastebin? [23:42] yesudeep2: a script for automatic pastbin? [23:42] debian: eh.. I have no idea what so ever [23:42] Boohbah: yeah [23:42] debian: for some is faster. but that's probably just a feeling. but I think it should encode faster on a 64bit system [23:42] BCM43: put what in pastebin? sorry I was using a terrible client before. I probably missed your message [23:42] talcite2 were you the one with wireless trouble? [23:42] nope [23:43] BCM43: I was the one with repeating GDM troubles [23:43] BCM43: is there someone who doesn't have wireless trouble? only those who don't use it [23:43] talcite2: ah. sorry. i found nothing [23:43] =/ [23:43] Gin: So now my computer is super fast? [23:43] argh. This is insane. I did nothing to break it! [23:43] * yesudeep2 doesn't have wireless troubles. [23:43] Boohbah: yesudeep2 does not [23:43] Does anyone know how to disable compiz from console? [23:43] well i don't either [23:44] ok, 8.04 installed. let's see if I can get wireless going ;) [23:44] trying to get onto the site to search an error on install..but forums are very very slow ..anyone seen 'error 15' on installing a dual boot? [23:44] wepeel: lshw -C cpu will tell you the processor speed.. regardless of powersaving mode [23:44] stormx2, i didnt see the last message, how would i have selected it? [23:44] BCM43: so that's 2 of 1309 people who don't have wireless trouble [23:44] Slart, ah, ok. let's see if it matches what I just saw [23:45] How do I use amixer in order to set my 'Master' to +5% volume?? anyone used to this? [23:45] debian: I don't think your computer is superfast with a 64bit system, it should be as fast as the 32bit version [23:45] BCM43: you understand my logic? [23:45] Could not listen on port: 64652! <-- how do i change that? [23:45] debian: just give it a try and see if you like it better than the 32bit [23:45] will00: When you installed LIRC, it should have come up with a window asking what remote you'd like to use [23:45] Xsploit: listen on a different port [23:45] Wait, what ubuntu version are you on? [23:45] BCM43: I typed lspci and my adapter is there. I also tried ndiswrapper -l and it said the driver was installed and the device is detected. I can see my wireless network in the list, but can't connect. [23:45] !lamp [23:45] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [23:45] Itaku: Who was that for? [23:45] * Dena has a trouble with Wireless can't make Wlanassistnt work with Ultimate Edition of Ubuntu [23:45] Boohbah: well, mine works fine now, but you have no idea how hard it was before. yes i understand the logic, but have you seen how many people com in there with sound trouble? !offtopic | BCM43. [23:46] Boohbah yea... how ?? [23:46] Catslacks: put lspci in pastebin [23:46] BCM43: my point was that wireless is always a challenge to setup. ;-P [23:46] ok stormx2, should i uninstall and reinstall it then? [23:46] Xsploit: i don't know, what program is it? [23:46] Boohbah: make that 7 because 2 of my friends and my other desktop machines which have wireless builtin work out of the box as well. [23:46] Gin: 32bit win xp [23:46] Can I apt-get wine? [23:46] BCM43: I can't. I'm on a different computer with no connection to the other one. I can write down what you need, though. [23:47] debian: yes. sudo apt-get install wine [23:47] and one of them has a broadcom card. <-- funny that worked right. [23:47] Boohbah: 'ninja video helper' [23:47] anyone haveing problem with lime wire pro launches just fine but in the center where you select what your looking for and name and download window are blank [23:47] Catslacks: do you have a usb flash drive? [23:47] did anyone try to use aerodump-ng? [23:47] !anyone | Anubis [23:47] Anubis: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [23:47] Xsploit: i don't know what that is. did you install it from an ubuntu repository? if not, we can't help you [23:47] guys I couldn't change my keyboard layout so I removed it and I added it again, then this window hopped up: "Error activating XKB configuration.

[23:48] debian: this argument was had a while a go on the channel, they won. [23:48] nope [23:48] stormx2, yes [23:48] Hm. [23:48] okay, first problem. The system has told me that it's using restricted drivers (Atheros HAL and Support for Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards), but I cannot connect.

(unlock) [23:50] will00, then do irw again. [23:50] debian: tell them that, i use it. [23:51] wepeel: nope, it is introduced in Hardy I think [23:51] BCM43: No, broadcom isn't on it [23:51] I have never seen that before in Gutsy [23:51] tyberion: compare sizes? you can use the partition editor to look at the layout of th edrive [23:51] Software Question - Installing JAVA on Ubuntu to work with FireFox, I've tried Synaptic, and Java's tutorial, neither work [23:51] Catslacks: do you see 802.1 or somthing like that? try to locate your wireless card [23:51] mmkay got it [23:51] stormx2, same issue [23:51] BCM43: Yes, my wireless card is listed there. [23:51] debian: Plus aptitude is less irritating. apt-get barfs every time there is a typo. So if you have 4 typos, it'll stop upto 4 times until you've corrected them. [23:51] !hi | BCM43 [23:51] BCM43: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [23:51] Catslacks: what is it?

What IR receiver are you using? The standard windows media center edition one? [23:52] BCM43: D-Link DWA542 [23:52] !fsck | cens0red [23:52] cens0red: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [23:52] 3/j #Linux [23:52] oh [23:52] :) [23:52] BCM43: I installed the drivers for it using ndiswrapper [23:52] cens0red: sorry, just ask a question. no need to welcome me to the channel [23:52] BCM43: i thought you two were old friends [23:52] debian: some reading for you.. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude [23:52] stormx2, yes im using the one that came included with my hauppage 1800, which is the standard MCE set [23:53] Boohbah: can I disable fsck running on startup? [23:53] that filesystem check thing is looking more like windows xp.... :S [23:53] Catslacks: is that what is says on lspci?

Didn't mean to irritate you. [23:53] works!! [23:53] will00: Hmm. Well I'm not sure what the problem is. [23:53] cens0red: it's fine [23:53] white_eagle: if you don't shutdown clean you could have fs corruption [23:53] congrat wepeel :) [23:53] hi everyone [23:53] my very first impression of hardy heron is that it's fast [23:54] stormx2, could it be the transmitter that i set to none? [23:54] I can unmount a usb stick but the usb stick still has the light on. Is there a way to stop power from going to the usb stick? [23:54] Yeah [23:54] probably [23:54] transmitter? :/ [23:54] Boohbah: ok, thanks [23:54] What other options were there? [23:54] Boohbah: I needed to skip it once [23:54] selocol: i have a same problem:) [23:54] Receiver and remote? [23:54] selocol: you could try eject.. (I get the same thing.. windows shuts the power off.. in linux everything is still lit up) [23:54] Boohbah: it was really urgent [23:54] wepeel: I second that. for me, only pulseaudio is troublesome. [23:54] BCM43: i think cens0red was greeting you... cheer up! [23:54] Slart: alright.. thanks [23:54] chev_chelios: =] [23:54] white_eagle: ok [23:55] Slart: how do we fix that in linux?

How do I get it to work? :) [23:56] chev_chelios: I don't know.. but I doubt your usb-stick will break from being connected for a while [23:56] BCM43: sometimes it's good to take a break after long hours of irc [23:56] Gin, will I need to get that? [23:56] usb stick just keeps power on. even when ejected. i recon that has sth to do with kernel stuff:) [23:56] Boohbah: lol, i know [23:56] BCM43: take a walk outside, get some fresh air, etc. [23:56] anybody here uses vmware workstation? [23:56] BCM43: but you know what's best ;) [23:56] Boohbah: just got back from dinner, so you would think i would be fin [23:56] emma: install the pulseaudio tools.. "sudo apt-get install pavucontrol paman padevchooser" ... set everything to use pulseaudio [23:56] well, i just tried the reconfigure again, and it said " * Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC [fail] " [23:56] the old kingston stick powered off, and the new one (takeMS) doesn't [23:57] Slart: okay I will give it a shot.
