[00:00] Brother_NoX: You mean using wine? [00:00] JonathanEllis: How do I do that? [00:00] CITguy08 if you are installing a SERVER, doesnt common sense say that you know how to setup a static IP on your server? [00:00] yes using wine [00:00] neofax: they're already uncommented [00:00] neofax: didnt find an error [00:00] neofax: they were by default [00:00] skatefox, then what would crossover office be used for? [00:00] Catslacks: I don't know of a way to force it to recognize your DVD. [00:00] Brother_NoX, wine best ask in #winehq [00:00] hi, when i try to sudo aptitude dist-upgrade the openoffice.org language packs get broken for me [00:00] How do I get Audacity to work with Hardy?\ [00:00] insomnia_: Do you have X then? [00:00] any ideas on how to fix this? [00:01] mordof: You will need to use google to find a repo that contains irssi [00:01] HackOfChris: Mainly for microsoft office apps and what not [00:01] HackOfChris Windows business type apps.. [00:01] hello [00:01] Arrick: yes, but if in the event that you cannot set it up properly. DHCP enables you to install the packages you need without having to muddle with the static NIC address. [00:01] how are you? [00:01] neofax: when you say X what exactly do you meen? i have X serv running i think [00:01] That's at least how I look at it. [00:02] JonathanEllis: It says to insert a cd even when it is in [00:02] mordof: That is strange, because irssi is in the universe repo [00:02] mordof: irssi is in the repos. Pastebin the contents of your sources.list and the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install irssi' [00:02] What partitions would yall suggest with a 110g hard drive? I need windows vista and ubuntu [00:02] insomnia_: Do ++7 [00:03] CITguy08 I kind of like the option to choose static or dhcp at the beginning, because my IP's are normally allocated for servers, and the dhcp bank isnt allowed to the net other than through those servers lol [00:03] HackOfChris: Bad language like that, is it necessary?? LOL [00:03] If X is up, then you will be in it then after pressing those keys. [00:03] when i try to configure my network interfaces, i am told that 'the interface does not exist'. also, i was using the proprietary driver for my wireless card, and all of a sudden it has disappeared. [00:03] HackifChris.... I have 150... I like mine 50/50/50 for two OS's and data storage [00:03] neofax: ok [00:03] anyone know how do I disable the beeps??? [00:03] Arrick: I agree, but for those that need something up quick, I think DHCP helps so that you can configure the static IP later. [00:03] HackOfChris install vista FIRST, and you want about 40+ for vista alone [00:03] HackOfChris 70 - 80 windows.. 10 root 30 /home plus swap equal > ram [00:03] Catslacks: Did you ever have your ethernet/wireless cards working on that computer under any OS? [00:04] HackofChris I have 150... I like mine 50/50/50 for two OS's and data storage [00:04] neofax: decided to use normal repos instead of the ca. ones.. seemed to be the issue [00:04] Steve-cal: Both worked under Vista no problem [00:04] argh, what does "umount: /media/cdrom0 mount disagrees with the fstab" mean? :( [00:04] I broked synaptec PLEASE HELP [00:04] E: The package avast4server needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. [00:04] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. [00:04] Chiselhuk_Plus1, lol, well if engineering didnt require it i would use it [00:04] tj83: What about a swap partition? [00:04] neofax: btw i just checked with synaptic and for some reason nvidia-xconfig isnt installed (not ticked)... and when i ticked i... it said that nvidia-glx would be removed in the process [00:04] tj83, what os's are ya using? [00:04] HackofChris but thats really depends on how you want to make use of it... [00:04] Jack_Sparrow: You using bad language too!! Best tagline I ever heard from the old BBS days "If a tree falls on Bill Gates, WHO CARES!!" :) [00:05] Catcheeto.... ya.. i just dont think of swap as a useful partition.... swap is 2gb... so its more like 49/49/49/2 [00:05] neofax: yeah, lol.. canadian repos are messed xD wouldn't update [00:05] HackofChris... I was using vista/Ubuntu [00:05] CITguy08 thats just something I would like to remain an option, however if the server im working on doesnt get past "Resolving dependencies of base packages" the point will be moot anyways [00:05] but now its ubuntu/testbed/storage [00:05] Chiselhuk_Plus1 What is bad language.. I would like to know as I would not intentionally do that? [00:05] trying to upgrade feisty->hardy but do-release-upgrade only sees gutsy - how can I get it to see hardy? [00:05] neofax: btw i just checked with synaptic and for some reason nvidia-xconfig isnt installed (not ticked)... and when i ticked i... it said that nvidia-glx would be removed in the process [00:06] tj83: just checking. I am newish to linux in general, wanted to make sure that 2 gb I have for a swap drive really is useful, lol [00:06] What is Analog Mix? It solved my static problem when I muted it? [00:06] tj83, I need to install vista first then install ubuntu? [00:06] neofax: and i did alt_cntrl+7 [00:06] * Chiselhuk_Plus1 regards any mention of Microsoft or any of it's products as bad language!!! :P [00:06] HackofChris... i just seen the light and realized.. one doesnt need windows anymore [00:06] mcrawfor: you have to upgrade to gutsy first, you can't skip releases in general [00:06] HackOfChris: you don't need Vista anymore [00:06] HackofChris thats is correct. vista first. [00:06] jrib: really, that has always worked for me before [00:06] lol [00:06] mcrawfor: it's not supported [00:06] but i encourage you to dump windows entirely [00:06] doolph: Vista is a bad word too!! tsk-tsk! [00:06] Chiselhuk_Plus1 thats because you like to work twice as hard for the same result ;'P [00:07] Catslacks: Well I don't think I can help, because if Ubuntu doesn't even have logical names assigned to your ethernet/wireless cards... that's too low-level of a problem for what I'm experienced with. [00:07] i thought we werent allowed to say v*sta, its a banned word in this channel [00:07] tj83: That's my man!!! Kill Windoze!! :) [00:07] HackOfChris: I personally have ubuntu only, but I have VirtualBox with windows in it [00:07] insomnia_: It may mean you have to different repos pulling in that file and one is a higher version than the other or you could have manually installed nvidia-xconfig [00:07] Ubuntu + virtualization + XP if you really need windows applications [00:07] doolph.... i second your opinion! [00:07] doolph, well if linux could run these engineering programs, i'd just go linux [00:07] argh, what does "umount: /media/cdrom0 mount disagrees with the fstab" mean? :( [00:07] Steve-cal: Yeah, I'll give it a bit more and then I give up. I've been defeated by Ubuntu. :( lol. [00:07] catcheeto: how much RAM do you have ? [00:07] freetards... [00:07] CatCheeto, if i run windows in VirtualBox, what all can i do? [00:07] HackOfChris: try VirtualBox, I have Adobe CS3 Full in it [00:07] randbot: do you have an ubuntu support question? [00:07] hello friends [00:07] anyone having trouble downloading packages? [00:07] AcornAcorn: It may mean your /etc/mtab points to a different drive than your /etc/fstab [00:08] Glitsj16: 1 1/3 gb, I have 1/2 gig for windows, since I try not to use it, lol [00:08] Hi. I'm tryng to boot off the hardy cd in 64-bit but it just drops me to a busybox initramfs shell instead [00:08] everything as long as you DONT use the half-baked ubuntu OSE version of virtualbox HackOfChris [00:08] I needed a link for download ubuntu ultimate [00:08] ubuntu.com [00:08] there is no ultimate [00:08] CatCheeto: 2GB swap should be plenty in that case [00:08] ubuntu ultimate? [00:08] HackOfChris: Easily? Everything. Doing things like using USB and such takes more work. Also have to worry about having enough RAM to run both at once [00:08] doolph, the program I have to run communicated and programs a breadbord for chip programming. Will Windows in Virtual Box be able to do this? It's connected USB [00:08] Anyone [00:09] * Chiselhuk_Plus1 is no techy by all means 'n I can maintain a MS free home!! :D [00:09] I needed a link for download ubuntu ultimate 1.8 [00:09] !mint | facilitador [00:09] facilitador: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate [00:09] ugh [00:09] Arrick half-baked? [00:09] I don't know you have to try it [00:09] CatCheeto, the program I have to run communicated and programs a breadbord for chip programming. Will Windows in Virtual Box be able to do this? It's connected USB [00:09] neofax: oh, maybe rightclick>unmount has nothing to do with gmount-iso [00:09] HackOfChris: if you are using atmel avrs, then the linux suite of tools is quite complete [00:09] jrib: [00:10] HackOfChris: Ewww, had to have USB... lol. It might work fine, I haven't had luck getting my USB stuff to work right, but I am very noobish, lol [00:10] ha ok [00:10] HackOfChris yes, the repo version of virtual box has a lot of issues, either get the .deb for linux, or go to #vbox and ask for a link to the .run script [00:10] i just wanted to let everyone know that this fix: http://wvarner.blogspot.com/2008/05/firefox-crashing-on-youtube-in-ubuntu.html works perfectly. it lets you use pulseaudio for flash (which lets you have audio in flash without having to close other programs using audio first.) and it prevents flash from ever crashing firefox. all i have to say about this is WOOHOO [00:10] Audacity is for some reason not producing sound in Hardy, is it because of Pulse, & how do I fix it? [00:10] HackofChris... you might be surprised if you dig hard enough.. i bet you will find opensource software to accomplish chip programming [00:11] amirman84:Thanks, I have been looking for a good guide for that [00:11] can someone please help me [00:11] i was using the proprietary driver for my wireless card, and then it just disappeared from the restricted drivers thing. how do i get it back? [00:11] holyguyver_: check http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup .. it has a few tips about audacity and PulseAudio [00:11] Thank you [00:11] tj83, I probably could, but the teachers require the code and source files to all projects. They compile it themselves to check us. It sucks [00:11] hi. I'm trying to boot off the latest 64-bit hardy but it just drops me to a busybox initramfsshell instead [00:11] yw [00:12] prw------- what is this?? [00:12] hrmm, anyone have an idea why my ubuntu server 8.04 install has been hanging for 15 minutes at 3% of the "Resolving dependencies of base packages..." on a compaq proliant ml330? [00:12] HackofChris... I See.. [00:12] tj83, so i'm kinda stuck to using there software alone [00:13] vxd2: pipe, with read+write permissions for the owner only [00:13] tj83, the only reason I was considering dual booting [00:13] Arrick: there's been different people reporting mirrors down at the moment, it might be related .. [00:13] HackOfChris you could still give them the source if its written on an OSS platform [00:13] HackOfChris: I would start out with something like (depending on software) 20gb for windows, 2 gig swap, and rest for ubuntu. Then try setting virtual box and if works, you can forget about needing windows [00:13] HackofChris Well.. there is no shame in using windows for your lively-hood albeit work/education...... But Linux need to be your primary "you" OS [00:13] Starnestommy: what do pipes do? [00:13] Arrick: I don't, but you might want to try the folks in #ubuntu-server as they might have more experience with a server install. [00:13] Anybody got a clue as to why Ajax doens't work with ISPConfig? [00:13] I'm having an issue with version 8.04 not being able to power off my PC. Is anyone else having this problem as well? [00:13] Arrick: did you swap vterminals to look for error messages? [00:13] glitsj16 i shouldnt need a repo when I have the disk [00:13] vxd2: they allow one process to send information to another [00:13] vterminals? [00:13] how do I do that amrik2 ? [00:14] i was hacked and i have rootkit srv4, how can i identify the attacker? [00:14] CatCheeto, another thing is i play wow, and can not get it to work right in ubuntu yet [00:14] Arrick: you can check with ctrl+alt+f1, f1-f8 are your vterms [00:14] Can anyone help me get build-essential installed without the internet? [00:15] does anyone have a copy of sources.list for Hardy PowerPC? [00:15] Can I somehow connect to a windows vpn with ubuntu? [00:15] rmll [00:15] Hi [00:15] Does anyone know how to get Google Talk that is in TERMINAL?? (sort of like naim but for gmail) [00:15] Catslacks: are you on windows computer now? [00:15] HackOfChris: I have gotten WoW to play using wine. My vid card doesn't meet requirements on this PC though, so it was slow. My understanding is it is due to the vid card and not running on wine, but I can't confirm till I get my normal PC back :( [00:16] hi i have a problem [00:16] CatCheeto, what vid card ya got? [00:16] !ask [00:16] Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:16] CatCheeto, when I run WOW I get 4fps [00:16] I'm having an issue with ubuntu not being able to power off my PC. version 8.04. is this an ACPI issue?? [00:17] HackOfChris: Onboard... lol. Even with that I was getting 10fps. I honestly don't even remember the specs to it [00:17] legend2440: Yes [00:17] HackOfChris, Using any addons? [00:17] I just installed ubuntu on my laptop which has atheros wireless card on it. but for some reason my wireless internet on my laptop is not working [00:17] <----finds that games are not really up-to-par in the linux world yet... but there are much more exciting and fun things to learn in here rather than windows... if games are your main use.... Linux is on its way to being for you... but not quite there yet. [00:17] !atheros [00:17] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:17] can any one help me, what should i do [00:17] Ahadiel, that's with no addons [00:17] HackOfChris, And where were you in WoW? [00:17] tj83: we'll always have nethack :) [00:17] any easy way out [00:18] can anyone get me an invite to #eeebuntu? [00:18] tj83 Comments and opinions are best in offtopic channel.. But check out World of Padman for a cute FPS Linux game [00:18] brb smoke time. === no0tic is now known as maru0tic [00:18] Catslacks: you might have to download ubuntu cdrom iso and burn it drom that computer, let me guess no cd burner on that computer right? [00:18] Ahadiel, I was in SW, but I moved out into Elwen Forest, and still same fps [00:18] vrkhans: look at the link Lunar_Lamp gave you [00:18] Jack_sparrow your right... my apologies [00:18] np [00:18] HackOfChris, Hrm, what video card are you running? === bear_ is now known as WheelerLT [00:19] Ahadiel, onboard, intel 945 [00:19] HackOfChris, That's why. The Intel GMA945/50 is not meant for gaming. [00:19] glitsj16 any other way beside ndiswrapper [00:19] Does anyone know how to get Google Talk that is in TERMINAL?? [00:19] Hi. Sorry, my system disconnected. If you replied to my post about partitioning could you please post again. Thanks [00:19] vrkhans: not that i know of no [00:20] Ahadiel, yeah, but I was expecting more, since I get about 400% more than that in windows [00:20] m_newton: There is a pidgin project that does terminal I think [00:20] Is there any packages available for firefox 3rc1? [00:20] legend2440: Actually, that's what I'm doing. It's sort of a last-ditch-effort [00:20] Im getting [312.513768] kernel panic - not syncing: Attempter to kill init! [00:20] ok so thats the only option we have [00:20] HackOfChris, Still, I wouldn't expect much from the Intel GMA945 [00:20] let me try that [00:20] HackOfChris: Yeah, vidcard not meant for gaming + OS not meant for gaming will kill it [00:20] what does this error mean? [00:20] m_newton: try finch. it is basically. pidgin in terminal [00:20] then [00:21] CatCheeto, so I should stick dual-boot if I want to play [00:21] HackOfChris: Since you are dual booting anyway, windows will be better for WoW till you can get a better vid card [00:21] when I shutdown, the harddrives park, but the system continues to run. Does anyone know a fix for this? [00:21] HackOfChris Yes [00:21] HackOfChris: Anything else you plan to do in windows? [00:22] CatCheeto, lol, laptop, can't upgrade card, it's a DELL :( [00:22] CatCheeto, that's all, wow and the engineering stuff [00:22] anyone know how to get SDL working with anjuta? [00:22] where can I get a new source.list file? [00:22] HackOfChris: Doh... lol. I know the feeling. You plan on sharing files between the OS's? [00:22] McJester: use System -> Administration -> Software Sources [00:23] CatCheeto, was thinking about doing 20/20/rest [00:23] HackOfChris: Like music or anything? [00:23] Hello ? [00:23] hello [00:23] i have a problem [00:23] jrib, that lets you edit the existing one, I need to restore the whole file back to default [00:23] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m4d03fcc4 this one [00:23] CatCheeto, yea, music and pictures...That reminds me, I need itunes for my iphone [00:23] it is 8.04 [00:23] mardi_soir Please post a description of the problem when you post a link [00:24] CatCheeto, I wish they'd come out with a linux version of itunes [00:24] HackOfChris, They won't =/ [00:24] HackOfChris: The swap file should be left fairly small, 2 gb or so. And if sharing then you'll want a partition for that. [00:24] mardi_soir: try askin in #ubuntu-fr [00:24] how i can untar a file [00:24] Jack_Sparrow, apt-get or aptitude fails [00:24] vrkhans: double click on it [00:24] mardi_soir: that links to a file in french... [00:24] !aptfix [00:24] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [00:24] Anyone with any thoughts on partitioning? I plan to put /home on a second hard drive but from various articles it seems there may be advantages in putting / and /boot on separate partitions. Any other opinions on what is good to split out? I have two 40GB hard drives plus a 6GB drive that I plan to use for swap. [00:24] vrkhans, tar xzf file.tar I believe [00:24] CatCheeto, ok, so 20(windows)/20(ubuntu)/2(swap)/rest? [00:24] McJester: are you sure you can't delete the one you have and use that interface to recreate it? [00:25] anyone else getting unable to connect errors when trying to update packages, able to surf fine, just can't download form ubuntu archives [00:25] Ahadiel, i know, but they should [00:25] Ahadiel, LOL [00:25] JonathanElli1 Pulling that 6gig out will most likely increase your overall performance [00:25] HackOfChris: Should work out just fine, specially if most your files are on the last partition for sharing. That is roughly what I had before using virtualbox instead [00:25] Jack_Sparrow: Really? Why is that? [00:25] Odd-rationale, matthew > no matter the langage .. see file [00:25] jrib, I didn't want to risk the chance of it not recreating [00:25] when installing a vista/ubuntu dual boot, which is easier to install first or second? [00:25] /var/lib/dpkg/available [00:25] HackOfChris Sep home is always a good idea [00:26] !fr|mardi_soir [00:26] mardi_soir: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement. Si vous avez besoin d'aide ou voulez discuter en francais, merci de rejoindre #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr [00:26] mardi_soir: i don't understand what you put in the pastebin says... [00:26] JonathanElli1 It is probably an older slower drive and you would better off dumping it [00:26] mardi_soir, if french is your first language... [00:26] amrik, Ubuntu second [00:26] CatCheeto, ok, do you think itunes would work good in Windows in Virtual Box? [00:26] HackOfChris, I can try it right now if you'd like. [00:27] mardi_soir, I bet that that channel can help you more [00:27] matthew, french ubuntu channel users are currently talking about windows versus GNU/Linux .. so borring [00:27] Ahadiel, that would be kewl of ya [00:27] Jack_Sparrow: Yes it is an older drive. I was only using it because someone told me that the reduced seek time would improve performance. [00:27] Ahadiel: so if i have ubuntu installed first, is it that i'm screwed? [00:27] mardi_soir, yes, but we can't read your file :( [00:27] HackOfChris: should work just fine [00:27] mardi_soir: give them the !offtopic factiod... ;) [00:27] matthew, ok so thanks for your explain :) [00:27] Jack_Sparrow: I mean reduced seek time because the drive is not seeking from data to swap and back again [00:27] JonathanElli1 You are unlikely to use it much and it could in theory slow down your main drive [00:27] amrik, Umm, You could probably install grub while inside Ubuntu, but I'm not an expert on the subject. [00:28] hello [00:28] Jack_Sparrow: OK thanks [00:28] Ahadiel: oh in that case sure then its trivial. thanks [00:28] Odd-rationale, not at all .. i ll be patient thanks to you too [00:28] JonathanElli1 Just my opinion.. but I would not use it [00:28] HackOfChris: I also heard the most recent version can install inside windows and run as its own virtual machine. No idea how well it works thogh [00:28] HackOfChris: Most recent version of ubuntu that is [00:28] help please! how can i burn VIDEO_TS folder on k3b? [00:28] JonathanElli1 If you are hitting swap then you should increase ram... [00:29] CatCheeto, you talking about running ubuntu inside of windows? [00:29] CatCheeto, Ubuntu is not really running insode of Windows. But rather it installs ubuntu to a file on Windows. [00:29] CatCheeto, Therefore the user can remove it easily at will. [00:29] Jack_Sparrow: I dont think I am hitting swap. I have 1GB of RAM which is the maximum my machine can take. I just put it in as belt and braces but I will take it out [00:30] Ahadiel: So does it then use windows to act like a dual boot or a virtual machine? [00:30] CatCheeto, it modifies the Windows bootloader to facilitate Ubuntu [00:30] CatCheeto If you are talking wubi.... you shoud read the faq.. I wont use or recommend using it [00:30] Ahh [00:30] I tried it once, was very slow. Never again. [00:30] will installing kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu 8.04 cause any problems? [00:30] theFATMAN, no [00:30] theFATMAN no [00:31] Everytime that I click on something in dolphin file explorer, i get the error "The desktop entry file /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/amarok_addaspodcast.desktop has an invalid menu entry "AddAsPodcast" Does anyone know how i can fix this? [00:31] HackOfChris, Downloading iTunes as we speak. [00:31] Ahadiel, kewl [00:31] ahadiel, what additional maintenance will be needed after doing so? [00:31] theFATMAN Nothing [00:31] Ahadiel, If I have xp installed, shouldnt all of the software for vista run in XP atm? [00:31] HackOfChris: So... apparently using wubi, the ubuntu on windows I was talking about is a bad idea, lol. As I pointed out, I am a newbie ;) [00:32] Jack_Sparrow, you guys, rock!! peace [00:32] theFATMAN You just select between kde and gnome under options where you login [00:32] So apart from a separate partition for /home (in my case a separate drive) is there much advantage to separate partitions for / and /boot? [00:32] where can i see when the machine was rebooted? [00:32] Hi guys. I want to keep some of my data (music) somewhere else than my home directory. Where would you put it? And I mean keeping it on the system partition not on some other. [00:32] fixed the sources.list file by copying the contents of the sources.list.distUpgrade file [00:32] JonathanElli1 / root and /home are the main two [00:32] HackOfChris, It depends? Some Windows software uses Vista specific API [00:32] CatCheeto: using wubi is not a bad idea. it it just a rather new idea... it is not reccomended for pernament installs though... just trial... [00:33] Jack_Sparrow: I understand why /home is a good idea. Did you say / root or /root?

[00:34] anybody heard of when Firefox 3 will hit Ubuntu hardy? [00:34] Jack_Sparrow: but there is a directory /root as well isnt there? [00:34] Odd-rationale: Ahh, makes since. [00:34] * prower would dual boot vista just to be able to play some games but it's way too expensive :> [00:34] ok [00:34] jon_high9000: FF3Beta is on Hardy [00:34] anyone seen this error E: openoffice.org-writer2latex: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:34] E: openoffice.org: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured [00:35] JonathanElli1 when you run the installer you will see what I am talking about.. when you select root it will come back with just / [00:35] anyone know how to get SDL working with anjuta? [00:35] Jack_Sparrow: Any thoughts how big / should be? [00:35] JonathanElli1 10 gig min is what I recommend [00:35] Jack_Sparrow: What is the advantage to a separate / ? [00:36] CatCheeto: hi. i heard it can erase your language packs upon installation [00:36] McJester, not that specific error but seems like openoffice has some issues with upgrades. i get 'partial upgrade' from update manager [00:36] JonathanElli1 It always makes / sep home is helpful when restoring or upgrading [00:36] HackofChris... one thing i would like to point out is that a friend of mine... Used Gparted to whipe his HDD clean of all partitions and then vista would not isntall...... You will need to use some means of Fdisk to do this before installing vista... I reccomend the use of Hiren's boot CD... but any means of running fdisk will do. [00:36] Jack_Sparrow: By they way, not doubting you, just trying to increase my understanding [00:36] Ap4ch3, so you don't know the fix Im assuming [00:37] JonathanElli1 Never be afraid to ask... === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz [00:37] Jsn037: do you have a link to your paste ? Put it out here if u want .. [00:37] jon_high9000: Not sure about the language packs. I know when I upgraded to Hardy and it had FF3Beta, it sacked most of my addon's due to them not being ready. So I can only imagine what else it might break [00:37] JonathanElli1 You ask two people the same question, you get three opinions [00:37] tj83, ok kewl, if i dual vista, 20g wont work will it? [00:37] JonathanElli1 let me get you a link for sep home [00:37] anyone know how to get SDL working with anjuta? [00:37] Hackofchris... just a bit of something to look out for. and maybe gparted would work out fine for you maybe not... Um 20gb is a bit on the shy side for vista.... [00:37] Jack_Sparrow: Its alright. I already know I need sep home. [00:37] McJester, nope, someone here suggested -dist-upgrade but that wanted to un-install firefox3b [00:38] matthew: look at the sdl docs, IIRC it was pretty easy to pick up [00:38] JonathanElli1 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [00:38] Jack_Sparrow: That was always part of my plan [00:38] HackofChris.... I would use atleast 35-40 [00:38] ANyone know of any good video editing software ? [00:38] obviously free [00:38] CatCheeto: Yeah, i hear ya there. I am probably going to take the safe route and wait for it. [00:38] amrik, I can't seem to get it to find the SDL library, I added it through the package interface thing, which i'm guessing is wrong... [00:38] What's that name of Ubuntu media player ?

According to my router where the hdd is attached it should be defaulted as read/write access [00:40] What's the name of the default media player ? [00:40] amrik: the basic SDL functions aren't found, i'm guessing because its not linking against the SDL library [00:40] tj83: But if he is just going to wow and use his school software does he need all that space?

[01:45] OK, is there a way to make it secure? [01:45] jack_sparrow..... was that "ot" directed to me :) oops [01:45] m_newton: it depends on what you mean by "secure." By default, apache is mostly secure [01:45] OK, is there a way to make it secure?

It might be enough. [02:02] long term test check [02:02] thanks Starnestommy I was trying nick all [02:02] confirmed [02:02] yea, i mean it literally locked up, nothing would open [02:02] / what does UDP do?? [02:02] exerdigit: weird. What type of system? [02:02] beginning overnight test [02:03] m_newton: it's used for sending packets without connecting to the server [02:03] m_newton: most programs use TCP [02:03] m_newton, UDP is for applications (I mean uses, not programs) that need lots of speed and don't care about data integrity [02:03] IE: streaming audio [02:03] mungallo, well, its a sony vaio vgn-cr120e with ubuntu 8.04 64-bit [02:03] like a game pinging a server [02:03] would anyone like to post it for me? http://debian.pastebin.com/m62ccea76 [02:04] exerdigit: odd, my fj290 does ok [02:04] Lastly, no idea how this would work, but does ubuntu offer any way to install it from a usb on a empty machine? (or rather, without a cd drive) [02:04] / So it is best to go with JUST TCP, what about a program like AZUERUS [02:04] Steve-cal no, but i think the fs is destroyed some way, as the drive was accidentaly (long story ;o added to a pool done with ZFS, however only a few data was transferred, so I think there is still most of the fles somewhere [02:04] i want to see the emails that are being sent out from this box, not those received. how? [02:04] m_newton: I think bittorrent is also tcp [02:04] BitTorrent supports both layers for flexibility reasons only. [02:04] m_newton: but allowing udp and tcp is a good idea if you're unsure [02:04] yea, this was doing okay, until i plugged into someone elses broadband modem and the networking thing locked up my system and now this... not sure how to go about it... reinstall everything maybe? [02:04] bittorent is tcp [02:04] testdisk found some superblock too somewhere, but I don't know if they are for ext2 or ZFS (i am not sure if zfs uses some) [02:04] Unless you notice something horribly wrong with either TCP or UDP it shouldn't matter at all. [02:05] m_newton: If you are streaming audio FROM your server, leave UDP enabled, if not, you can probably ditch it [02:05] (Or unless someone is superseeding on only one protocol) [02:05] HiTo: Did you do the obvious "fsck" on it? Probably a huge long shot, but... [02:05] boyam, one more question if you have time :) ... my machine is at 192.168.0.11 should I use 192.168.0.0/24 for the -net ? [02:05] help pls help [02:05] big time [02:05] .. [02:05] depends on your proficiency, if you're pretty good, you might try to fix it, otherwise back up whatever you can and reinstall. [02:05] !ask | zaeka [02:05] zaeka: 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. :-) === zaeka is now known as yordan [02:05] yes [02:05] mungallo i just thought there would be something simple... i cant imagine this can be that deep of a problem...i just havent a clue where to begin [02:05] its very long [02:05] is there anyone here who has gotten SDL working with anjuta and can walk me through the process? [02:05] i must speek on query [02:05] ok whit you ? [02:06] !enter | yordan [02:06] yordan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:06] Good MOrning everybody! [02:06] Well, you can reinstal gnome. [02:06] Carbonflux, -net is the netmask of the destination network not your machine [02:06] Steve-cal I tried but it didn't work, maybe should try again... first time "device was busy" [02:07] mungallo, hmm... the problem is definitely in gnome you think? or could it be just about anything at this point, i mean, based off what i told you?? [02:07] sudo apt-get remove then reinstall [02:07] ok, who has a working repo for 8.04? [02:07] the us. one is borked as usual [02:07] HiTo: You have to make sure you run fsck in recovery mode or from a LiveCD for instance--you can't do it on a partition it thinks might still be mounted. [02:07] boyam, ok, guess I need to do more research, don't want to waste your time given my level of knowledge, thanks again :) [02:07] based on what you're telling me my best guess is that it's a gnome problem [02:07] !mirrors | Arrick [02:07] Arrick: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Hardy, and help keeping the servers' load low!

' (IT IS EMBEDED, that is not streaming is it?) Also is UDP is not secure right [02:07] but I don't know for sure [02:07] anyone use bitpim [02:07] will someone point me to a link for posting to the wiki? [02:08] m_newton: it's about as secure as tcp [02:08] tj83: What do you mean? [02:08] any error messages in "tail /var/log/messages" ? [02:08] ok, so I'm having a problem with moblock .. I tried installing it, which failed due to it not finding some dshield.gz file, and crapped on the install.. invoking the install again gives same problem.. and now, I can't even remove it.. remove, purge .. nothing gets that failed install package out of the list :/ halp =D [02:08] Steve-cal I will just reboot, this drive should not be mounted by default, I will tell you the message I get [02:08] Flannel... i want to share some of my work for other to use for help [02:08] tj83: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide [02:09] so why make it TCP only, IS this rite (TCP/UDP = more packets sent = easier to hack = bad if you are running a biz) [02:09] Nonsense, m_newton. [02:09] so...i boy myself a new pc the pc came whit vista i deleted it and i instaled a ubuntu 7.10 , but now i cant boot back to xp sp2 or 3, but i have 1 crapy windows full whit viruses , and i can boot whit him but not whit the original cds.. [02:09] m_newton: any traffic can be sniffed TCP or UDP [02:09] Sry noob, plz explain [02:10] Assuming that your TCP stack and UDP driver are both stable and working, there should be nothing potentially catastrophic about leaving both on. [02:10] WHAT THE DUCK [02:10] any traffic at all can be watched. === jo_ is now known as Psyux [02:10] I need help with Rhythmbox; after installing a set of scripts to let audio play over bluetooth a2dp, Rythmbox gets stuck when I try to play over the regular speakers. [02:10] Question: While i do a system backup, are there any _beginner_ guides to ubuntu that you suggest i read while i wait? [02:10] it's not a security issue. [02:10] how can i completely remove firefox64 and make firefox32 to be the default browser? [02:10] yes [02:10] Leefmc: For what? [02:10] m_newton: by default, most things use TCP, look at this for a better answer about TCP/UDP: http://www.skullbox.net/tcpudp.php [02:10] m_newton: only if the program itself wants to send tcp and udp [02:11] Leefmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/ is a pretty good place to start [02:11] m_newton, the network will transmit as many packets as is required to send data across to another computer. [02:11] M_newton: it depends on the program [02:11] Flannel: Into to ubuntu/linux, for beginners. I'm installing it for the first time. [02:11] Flannel: K, ty [02:11] intro* rather [02:11] .. [02:11] m_newton usage of tcp vs udp depends on what the app is doing.. it doesn't randomly use either [02:11] ok, SRY gtg Dinner BRB in 30 min [02:11] any equivalent in ubuntu for ipconfig command line? [02:11] Leefmc: If you have specific questions, feel free to ask here. But, for stuff in general, check that out. [02:11] mungallo, alright... ill have to get back to this later... thanks for your time. [02:11] MrPiracy: ifconfig [02:11] is there anyone here who has gotten SDL working with anjuta and can walk me through the process? [02:11] any help ? [02:11] Flannel: k ty [02:12] ifconfig or iwconfig for wireless [02:12] gtg Dinner BRB in 30 min [02:12] Flannel I have the install CD, Im talking about the repos for sources.list [02:12] Can anyone tell me where I can find the unshield .deb installers?

I'm not sure what you're asking [02:12] lots of powersaving at 800mhz :D === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [02:12] Is there a package or program to allow me to access web content via desktop? Or an application that run in the desktop?

[02:13] For example, not in an application window, but in the same space that a wallpaper image will occupy? [02:13] Sphook, its called a web browser [02:13] bulgarian [02:13] rkvirani: lol thanks, not what I meant [02:13] !bg | yordan [02:13] yordan: опитайте #ubuntu-bg за български потребители . try #ubuntu-bg for bulgarian users, and please idle there patiently [02:14] ty [02:14] I was thinking about was setting up VNC so that it would be accessible also on login screen. Do you have any experiences with that? [02:14] nobody [02:14] ;) [02:14] yordan: If no one there is active, we can go somewhere quieter [02:14] These little hp mininotes are rad [02:14] is there anyone here who has gotten SDL working with anjuta and can walk me through the process? [02:14] stequbu: you mean like remote desktop? [02:15] yes [02:15] Mattew, SDL and Anjuta? one is a library and one is an IDE. I'm confused?

Sort of like windows live desktop or w/e it's called. [02:16] Question: Does Wubi allow for easy transition between ubuntu and windows? I forgot my college requires windows, so i'll have to be able to use it flawlessly, but at home i'd much rather use ubuntu. [02:16] are the updates available in the "hardy proposed" section of synaptic usually safe? [02:16] the_alamo: no [02:16] the_alamo: not at all, they are for testing [02:17] ah. [02:17] Shpook, Linux distributions don't have a default web browser module.

[02:17] Factoid rdp not found [02:17] Leefmc: wubi allows you to dualboot Ubuntu/windows without repartitioning, if you don't mind repartitioning, a proper dual boot is the way to go [02:17] okay [02:17] Flannel, just tell me a channel to go [02:17] or on quiery [02:17] yordan: They're not awake? alright, #ubuntu-classroom [02:17] Flannel: is wubi somekind like vmnware? [02:18] LeefMC: wubi will work just fine. Any time you need to use windows, just reboot and select it at the boot prompt. [02:18] Flannel and jrib: thanks for the heads up. are they for the next release or might they work their way into hardy heron at some point? [02:18] ari_stress: no, wubi allows Ubuntu to live inside an NTFS partition [02:18] Flannel: Well i don't have a cd drive (its crapped in the laptop), is there anything wrong with using wubi like that? [02:18] nevermind, I figured out how to fix it...I think... [02:18] the_alamo: they'll work their way into hardy once they're tested [02:18] ari_stress: no [02:18] Flannel: Well, cd drive, and the fact that its an HP OS so im sort of stuck. [02:18] Jafet: Well, I'm really only interested in running(or creating) an application in the visual background area, behind the icons and such. I was just wondering if there was a program or method out there to reference. [02:18] Steve-cal bad superbloc, bad magic number [02:18] huh [02:18] flannel.. i still have not found here to post! its very clear how to post anything just the ruels [02:18] rules [02:18] they are telling me to come here [02:19] .. [02:19] ari_stress: it's an easy way to dual boot windows and ubuntu [02:19] Leefmc: nothing inheritly wrong with it, no. You get a little increase disk access time, but other than that, no. [02:19] k [02:19] Flannel: good to know, thanks again for the info [02:19] tj83: You want to create your own page, right? or just edit one? [02:19] Who knows, maybe the drive issue is just a driver issue. [02:19] hi guys pliss can u help me i have a problem with battlfield 2 and wine [02:20] my own... I found no related topics using search [02:20] yordan, 302 redirect infinite recursion error. Sorry. Your request can not be serviced at this time, if ever. [02:20] HiTo: Well if testdisk and fsck didn't help, I'm not experienced with recovering munged partitions, so sorry I can't help more. [02:20] Steve-cal if i specify a superblock found by testdisk, it tells me busy, fs mounted.... ? [02:20] Shpook: I don't know for sure, but I think that the wallpaper and icons are controlled and displayed by the same process [02:20] Leefmc: There are ways to dual boot properly without a CD, if you're interested.

[02:20] Question: Also, is there any type of compatibility check i can see to make sure my machine will work? This is a 2yr old laptop, So its not new heh. [02:20] HiTo: Where are you running testdisk from? LiveCD or did you boot into a partition? [02:21] leefmc: booting from the livecd is a good way to check [02:21] Jafet: Exactly. [02:21] steviebuns: CD Drive problem rules that out, atm [02:21] tj83: Alright, just browse to the page you want to create (help.ubuntu.com/community/WhateverYouWantYourPageNameToBe) and there'll be a "this page does not exist, do you want to create one?" link. Um, I think there are page naming guidelines, let me look for that link. [02:21] TheMusicGuy: I need to figure out how to hijack that process. :-) [02:22] Shpook, no suck luck. First, you have to decide which desktop system you want to develop for... [02:22] Leefmc: 2 year old hardware is spiffy new in linux terms .. should work just fine [02:22] glitsj16: K, thanks [02:22] Ah.... that would be nice if they explained you had to go to a page that didnt exist LOL [02:22] leefmc: faunOS [02:22] tj83: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WikiGuide/PageCreation gives some guidelines (and instructions, and some help on making stuff quicker, re: templates etc) [02:22] Steve-cal i booted on a partition on another disk [02:22] %l -x -u mail what does that do? [02:22] heh, I got ubuntu working on a pentium pro 266 once. [02:22] tj83: They say that, read the second to the last paragraph of that page ;) [02:22] I know, I'm just saying, I don't think you can replace the wallpaper app without also effectively disabling all desktop icons. === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid [02:23] Has anyone tried banshee 1.0a yet? It doesn't seem to recognize my ipod [02:23] Jafet: That's a problem I've been thinking of.

[02:23] steviebuns: there are a few like that. [02:23] HiTo: OK, just curious that testdisk thinks your partition is mounted. Did you "umount" it just to make sure?

I have recently started dual booting windows and im not so certain about the protection of my windows half. [02:25] Leefmc: If you install with Wubi, Ubuntu sits on one big file, you remove it with add/remove through windows [02:25] Steve-cal if i do fdisk -l, i see /dev/sdg1 as 'linux' and if i do fdisk /dev/sdg1 it tell me "warning, flag 0x0000 not valid.... write?"

[02:26] HiTo: What happens if you do "sudo umount /dev/sdg1" and then fsck it? [02:26] Flannel: With any luck i'll be able to switch to a proper install of ubuntu anyway, i just need to hang onto windows until all flags clear. Namely college.

[02:34] Hito: what's the problem? [02:34] hey Jack Sparrow [02:34] Hello [02:35] mungallo messed up with an ext2 partitions, was added accidentaly to a zpool done in vmware, but only a few gigs were transfered on the pool, so I try to find a way to recover the data [02:35] HiTo: if badblocks finds a bunch of bad sectors, you should seriously consider sending your HD to the great silicon graveyard in the sky and buy a new one. How old is your HD? [02:35] Jack_Sparrow: Would testing it be as simple as booting with it in? In otherwords, do i follow the normall "install ubuntu with a usb stick" tutorial, and stop at the install stage to see if it works? If it does, i can then turn around and normal windows boot then wubi Ubuntu? Sound sane? [02:35] When Ubuntu starts with the splash screen, is X (xorg/xserver) started at any point during that loading process, or only after that? [02:35] Leefmc Yes, up to the point of wubi as I wont use or recommend it [02:35] Leefmc: yes [02:35] Steve-cal i don't think it has something to do with bad blocks, it has only one month, it is a new drive [02:36] Flannel whats the cmd again to create the ext3 filesystem? isnt it mkfs ext3? [02:36] the problem is that ZFS destroyed the ext2 fs on the drive i think [02:36] stequbu, im following the readme, and i cant seem to get the program to start [02:36] mkfs.ext3 [02:36] HiTo: Oh I see. How did the partitions get corrupted then? What happened? [02:36] Jack_Sparrow: I must inquire; why not? [02:36] Arrick: I've just always used parted. but yeah, mkfs.ext3 I believe [02:36] HiTo You would need to find a channel where people know zfs [02:36] or sudo gparted [02:37] HiTo: were you running solaris as an image? [02:37] Steve-cal in fact... drive was sdg1, and drives from sda to sdf were used in vmware, and on a reboot the letter changed... so when i created the pool i erased the backup [02:37] mungallo no FreeBSD 7 [02:37] is this is the command to take a screenshot? import pic.png ? [02:37] Ah [02:37] Leefmc I prefer a true partition for my ubuntu and not a simulated/ partition in a file on ntfs.. read the wubi faq and be sure you understand the difference in the installations [02:37] where do the packages save to when you install new progz? and would i be able to copy them to my secondary hard drive to reinstall them when i reboot with my new primary hard drive? [02:37] I would, but you know me Flannel, no gui [02:38] mungallo Would that be gksudo gparted...? [02:38] Arrick: parted, like I said. [02:38] That works too [02:38] KRaZy_WaKa /var/cache/apt/archives [02:38] Jack_Sparrow: Yea, The reason i'm choosing wubi for now is because i may need to hop back to my current win install. Not being able to reinstall windows, that is [02:38] assuming it's installed in which case: sudo apt-get install gparted [02:38] !gksudo [02:38] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [02:38] gksudo if you're in gnome [02:38] Leefmc I dual boot with no problems [02:38] !sudo [02:38] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [02:39] will01: I can't help you more. Except that there is a post on some forum maybe on hamachi.cc ? where everything is written including the command line [02:39] !su [02:39] mungallo gksudo for gnome gui apps kdesu for kde gui apps [02:39] hi there everyone, anyone know how i can extract .001 extension files [02:39] Jack_Sparrow: Yea but doesn't creating partitions on an existing system cause problems? (Specially considering the size of my laptop hd) [02:39] !root | mungallo [02:39] mungallo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:39] Yes... I am quite aware of that. [02:39] All of that. [02:39] Jack_Sparrow: would i be able to use them to reinstall the progz when i reinstall on my new primary HDD? [02:39] Leefmc Resizing partitions is not a big deal, the feature is built into the ubuntu installer [02:40] KRaZy_WaKa yes [02:40] flannel.... how do i get it to show lines, its taking multiple lines and making then one long string. [02:40] !clone [02:40] 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 [02:40] janet Wait, i just configured port forwarding correctly with azuereus and i semi works.. It is slow at uploading, but than againg that depends on speed of connection and how many ppl want it. I cant bench mark properly [02:40] Jack_Sparrow: thanx i decided against a direct disc copy, i prefer to reboot fresh, always did with windows and i think i will do the same with ubuntu [02:40] Jack_Sparrow: So the ubuntu installer can handle the creation of partitions, while leaving my existing win install intact? [02:40] mnewton: it takes time [02:41] Leefmc yes.. iut is the easiest way .. in my opinion [02:41] it [02:41] !aptoncd [02:41] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [02:41] Jack_Sparrow: same machine just upgrading primary HDD from 20 GB to 40 GB [02:41] m_newton: You might want to try going to some place like "canyouseeme.org" and testing to make sure your port is truly open. [02:42] !gparted [02:42] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [02:42] KRaZy_WaKa See also dd.. let me find you a link [02:42] Jack_Sparrow: I think i'll try that then, the only reason i was going to use wubi was because i did not have a working cd drive, and needed my existing windows install intact [02:42] exit [02:42] Hello [02:42] Thank you all :) [02:42] tj83: leave a blank line in between paragraphs, and use [[BR]] to insert a carriage return. But we're getting offtopic, You mind taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic? or even #ubuntu-doc, either of those would be more appropriate than here. [02:42] I'll probably have a few questions as i build my ubunutu usb stick [02:42] KRaZy_WaKa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) [02:42] hey anyone install the latest fglrx driver 8.5 and if so did they noticed flash running really slow? [02:42] !dd [02:42] Factoid dd not found [02:42] Anyone here try getting Dual Monitors to work with a Matrox card? [02:43] Leefmc You could also get gparted livecd and resize and add partitions that way [02:43] Jack, he can't [02:43] oh sweet, even better thanx Jack, i can get APTonCD from Synaptic? not totallt comfortable with terminal yet [02:43] CDROM is borked [02:43] No CD Drive [02:43] mungallo true [02:43] Leefmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#head-ca8e337bdfab6bfa1d064371898775fe1e9e22fd [02:43] I just upgraded to 8.04 and it broke microphone capture for me. Using arecord, all I get is a hum instead of my voice. This used to work with 7.10. Any idea? [02:43] Can anyone help me get my wireless started? I finally got the internet to work at all on Ubuntu. [02:43] KRaZy_WaKa yes aptoncd [02:44] I've never even had experience with USB Boots, are there anything special required by the motherboard/bios? Will a 2yr old laptop most likely be able to handle USB Installing? [02:44] Well, the computer has to be able to boot from a USB device... that's pretty much it. [02:44] leefmc: likely, mine does, check bios under hdd [02:44] yes it is open, but only on TCP... may result in slower uploads, i think, cant really benchmark [02:44] Leefmc-> thats fairly recent, so it should support usb booting [02:44] jmworx: Have you checked your sound configuration carefully for volume levels and what device is set for input? [02:44] make sure the disk is plugged in when you reboot [02:44] Flannel: I know hehe, were just discussing a few pro's con's. I'll be going through that now :) [02:44] Also, you would have to prioritize USB boot with the BIOS. [02:45] Anyone here using a Matrox video card? [02:45] !lamp [02:45] 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+) [02:45] Well, I cant get to work a little app that is not supposed to get runned as 16bits with Wine... anynoe has an idea?

I can't keep it this way, but it should help me until I get wireless working (if ever) [02:47] KRaZy_WaKa No big deal... but thak you anyhow [02:47] thanks [02:47] Thanks guys... [02:48] Catslacks: what kind of wireless card do you have? [02:48] sorry mirta: wine specific issue. check their forums and irc channels [02:48] Catslacks: You mean on-board LAN was disabled and now you enabled it? Or vice-versa? [02:48] Anyone here using a Matrox video card? [02:48] hello..I'm having an issue with PXE booting systems. The clients successfully boot up, hit the mirror, recieve packages...but get stuck at 83% when installing linux-generic... [02:48] Steve-cal: Ah, turns out the "wiring" in the driver is wrong. The front mic is wired to "Mic" and the "Front Mic" entry gives me nothing (probably wired to the back) [02:48] can some one help with that??

"If you want to install all the available modules, the ebox-all meta package will install all the modules."

You'd need to enable backports to get the official java [03:16] !java | Dgro [03:16] Dgro: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository [03:16] there are clamav directives in the apache confs? ..comment them out [03:16] Jack_Sparrow: I don't see apm-off in menu.lst.

I would not risk it [03:28] tester maybe small r [03:28] tester: use TAR: tar cf . | ( cd /the/other/dir && tar xf - ) [03:29] Catslacks: No problem, I'm sure you'll get it working with enough perseverance... :) [03:29] Hi, does anyone know about ATA errors extensiveky [03:29] cp: cannot stat `*.mp3': No such file or directory [03:29] tester: oops: tar cf - . | (cd /the/other/dir && tar xf - ) [03:29] I'm having issues getting my Ubuntu install to work properly [03:29] any specific reason gparted is not letting me do any changed to the xfs partition [03:29] Jack_Sparrow: didn't figure that would be a good idea, just figured i would ask, it's all good ubuntu loves user friendliness, unlike Winblows [03:29] mobiGeek, i need cp not tar [03:29] tester: why? [03:30] tester tar cpf- -C/path/sourcefile .|tar xpf- -C/path/destination [03:30] tester: are you trying to copy JUST the *.mp3 files or the entire directory tree? [03:30] mobiGeek, to copy not zip up or tar and then untar later [03:30] couldnt access some files on my NTFS volume when i changed out my primary drives and installed windoze temporarily [03:30] I got a similar error from Ubuntu, but this is what I got after my Debian install attempt [03:30] whats even odder is that I can connect to the samba share from some windows boxes but not others [03:30] just the mp3 files [03:30] ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) [03:30] followed by [03:31] theres thousands buried in directories [03:31] tester: the command I used doesn't create a tar file....it uses tar to copy the files and in so doing preserves timestamps, permissions, symlinks, etc....

[03:36] my apologies for off-topic, but borked reminds me of the swedish chef from the muppets [03:36] Anyone can help me install a Atheros Wireless LAN on my fresh installed Ubuntu! ?? [03:36] been googling my ass off [03:37] steingal Play nice and watch the language [03:37] Jack_Sparrow: a few factoids about common wireless card issues might help [03:37] !wifi [03:37] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:37] Like that [03:37] Sorry mate [03:37] Ok, I'm off to reinstall ubuntu and see what i can accomplish [03:37] !atheros [03:37] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:37] !broadcom [03:37] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [03:37] Could anyone tell me how to have my computer turn off my drives when they are idle? [03:37] Jack_Sparrow: how do i get a list of all ubottu factoids without flooding? [03:38] Nutzebahn: power options [03:38] anirudh0: under sys->admin->power options [03:38] anirudh0 You can /msg ubottu blah... or we have a page, but I dont have it handy [03:38] !msgthebot [03:38] Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [03:38] Jack_Sparrow... I too would like that list. [03:39] anirudh0: Power Management? [03:39] anyone seeing a huge mem consumption with the new ff? [03:39] When I think of it.. I will try and get it out to people [03:39] took 69% on my comp with a flash video running [03:39] One last note before I leave. When I insert my Ubuntu disk, I cannot use the option "Install Ubuntu to Hard Disk". I get that ATA error I mentioned. I must go into the Live CD and use the installer contained in there to install Ubuntu. Is this unusual? Could it be that I have to change my boot order to my SATA drive since my ATA may be going? (I have one of each, ATA being about 3 years older). [03:40] Nutzebahn: sorry..in sys->prefs->power management [03:40] anirudh0: Power Management? Power management only gives me two options. [03:40] dpkg --reconfigure -a takes a long time -.- [03:40] burningmunk mixing ata and sata have caused some issues [03:40] anirudh0: It doesn't say anything about drives. [03:40] Nith: depending on the state of thigns [03:40] things, even [03:40] Nutzebahn: laptop or desktop? [03:41] tritium: failed upgrade from feisty to hardy (through gutsy) [03:41] Nutzebahn: suspend=hard disks off and mem on [03:41] tritium A little southern drawl on that.. [03:41] apt broken, hal wont load... you know, the usual [03:41] Nith: ouch [03:41] Jack_Sparrow: yeah ;) [03:41] @JAck Sparrow: Do you know anything about drive cloning then? Maybe eliminate my ATA drive entirely. I have a 120GB ATA and a 320GB SATA drive. If I could ghost my 120 onto my 320, and then remove the 120GB ATA drive from my PC, would that possibly help? [03:41] Nutzebahn: found it? [03:41] !clone [03:41] 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 [03:42] burningmunk see also dd [03:42] Thank you. [03:42] burningmunk: you could get a conversion cable too [03:42] can anyone give me a hint on how to set up a user for nessusd? seems it doesnt use your username for the os [03:42] burningmunk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) [03:42] Krazy_Waka: On average what do those cost? [03:43] arg, scrollkeeper segfaulted while dpkg reconfiguring -.- [03:43] anirudh0: I don't want to do that because the sound card driver will stop working. Help? [03:43] burningmunk: dunno if that makes ATA read as SATA, but it could be worth a shot to not have to transfer [03:43] mobiGeek, any luck? [03:43] Nutzebahn: :)...dunno then [03:43] Thank you for the idea Krazy and Jack, you've been very helpful. If I have anymore questions I'll certainly be back. [03:43] :'( [03:43] Nutzebahn: you cant have everything working and still reduce power consumption :) [03:44] burningmunk: prolly around US $20 or less i would assume, i've seen mobo's and ATA HDD's that come with SATA conversion cables [03:44] anirudh0: I don't want it to go into standby mode, I just want it to turn off the drives, but leave the other parts on. [03:44] KRaZy_WaKa He Bee Gone [03:44] ugh, sound drivers. I tried alsa and oss and still my x-fi isnt working on ubuntu anyone else having trouble with xfi? [03:44] eh missed him [03:44] HELP! I have just installed ubuntu 8.04 (clean install). Then I followed these steps from http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ (1) Make way for the new “home” sudo mv /home /old_home (2) Then I needed to install Partition Editor to check which partition my home directory was located on sudo apt-get install gparted (3) Then gparted wouldnt run because there was no home directory [03:44] yeah i noticed Jack but thankx anyways [03:45] I'm having a problem with Amarok lately. When I try to play a song, it starts to play for about half a second then Amarok freezes up. Anyone know how to fix this? I really like Amarok [03:45] Can someone help me get my wireless working? [03:45] JonathanElli1 run live to fix it... [03:45] multi-tasking drinking some longnecks chatting on IRC and talking to my uncle who is drinking longnecks with me, got that message out a little slow [03:45] anirudh0: I don't want it to go into standby mode, I just want it to turn off the drives, but leave the other parts on. Can't I do that? [03:45] tester: try: find . -name "*.mp3" | tar cf - -T - | (cd /the/other/dir && tar xf -) [03:45] Rayvis: running amarok from the terminal will tell you what the problem is..then you or we ..an fix it [03:45] JonathanElli1 http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [03:46] Nutzebahn: this may not be safe..but look up hdparm [03:46] mobiGeek, will it copy right away or will i have to wait until its done finding them [03:47] KRaZy_WaKa goodnight.. and goodnight to all... [03:47] it will start copying after a few secs [03:47] Nutzebahn: look up the man page..specifically the -B flag [03:47] goodnight Jack_Sparrow [03:47] How would I run Amarok from Terminal? [03:47] tester: it uses piping, so as soon as find has pumped out a few filenames, the first tar starts archiving them to stdout, then the second tar will start extracting them. [03:47] What? [03:47] Ravis: Just run the name as a command in termional [03:47] no luck [03:48] tester: in the second tar, you could make it: tar xvf - [03:48] Rayvis: accessories->terminal...type amarok [03:48] Yea, bummer. My computer isn't USB-Bootable [03:48] tester: then you'll see the filenames printed to STDERR as they get exttracted/written to the other directory [03:49] Thanks DG1 abd Anirudh, I didn't think it would be that simple. [03:49] hola [03:49] is there a way to get rid of evolution, i find the large updates to be a waste of my very limited bandwidth and quota ?? [03:49] hola [03:49] bouma: just remove the package [03:49] bouma, you can uninstall it using the package manager [03:49] or sudo apt-get uninstall evolution [03:49] hola [03:50] Question: This sounds sort of insane, but what are my options to install real ubuntu (not wubi) from within Windows? Note that i can't install from USB or CD (Oddly enough, Floppy is enabled but i have no floppydrive, and Network is an option) [03:50] Leefmc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows [03:50] sudo apt-get uninstall evolution [03:50] gives E: Invalid operation uninstall [03:50] I ran Amarok from terminal but it didn't say anything after I tried to play a song and it froze. [03:50] ah, i was in the smartboot heh :) [03:50] bouma: remove [03:50] bouma: Or just use synaptic [03:51] bouma, sorry, my mistake, it should be remove, not uninstall [03:51] bouma: purge also works, if you want config files deleted as well [03:51] bouma: err, remove --purge, rather [03:51] since installing moblock every update or delete i do i get a E: moblock: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6 [03:51] has anyone run into this ? [03:51] tritium: purge will work in Hardy [03:51] tester: that work? [03:51] no [03:52] Flannel: ah, indeed [03:52] tester: what didn't work? [03:52] Flannel: It mentions on that page "if you later want install it to a dedicated partition, you can do it." in regards to Wubi. Are they saying that from within my running ubuntu OS, i can install a _real_ ubuntu (not the singlefile wubi thing)? [03:52] ah thanks everyone, simple :) [03:52] leefmc: doesnt that defeat the purpose of running ubuntu? [03:52] # /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS [03:52] find *.mp3 | cpio -pdumv /mnt/40gig this one is close that i found but its failing because it cant create the directory paths which i dont care to copy over any how [03:52] /ignore -channels #mwsf * JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS [03:53] KRaZy_WaKa: Why would it? I'm installing a real normal version of ubuntu [03:53] leefmc: throw in a 20 or 40 GB HDD and dual boot it! :) [03:53] tester: you saying you wanna copy all .mp3 to one directory?? if so, that's easy [03:53] Leefmc: From Ubuntu, you can install Ubuntu with the "from within linux" instructions, but no, you can't migrate from wubi to a real install withouth going through an installer [03:53] yes [03:53] tritium: um what would have happened if i let off the purge ? [03:53] tritium: i mean what just happened [03:53] KRaZy_WaKa: Heh, this has been an ongoing installation. Its a laptop with essentially no cd, and no usb installation option. And ofcourse, a laptop, not having floppy. [03:53] bouma: purge removes config files [03:54] how do I view tasks in my calendar view in evolution [03:54] Can anyone recommend a Terminal client for Ubuntu similar to the Mac iTerm? [03:54] find . -name "*.mp3" | xargs -i cp "{}" /the/other/dir [03:54] bouma: You left the evolution config files. You can remove them through synaptic, find the packages and mark them for "complete removal" [03:54] Flannel: So my only real option to try a real ubuntu install, is UNetbootin? [03:54] Flannel: or just delete ~/.evolution [03:54] Flannel: ok, thats a nice system. /me impressed [03:54] anirudh0: no, the config files in question are the ones in /etc/, it will not remove anything in your homedir [03:54] anirudh0: With or without the purge [03:55] how do you do anything with it? no CD? that sucks, does it not have a cdrom or just no install option? [03:55] how does one stop join/part messages in irssi? [03:55] Hi'a. I ran out of space on my /boot partition can I just delete the older kernels and related files? [03:55] tester: throw in a "-v" to display progress: find . -name "*.mp3" | xargs -i cp -v "{}" /the/other/dir [03:55] Markov: yes [03:55] Leefmc: It seems so. [03:55] mobiGeek, http://pastebin.org/39597 [03:55] Ok, someone please remind me why Linux is better than XP when the latest round of updates wiped out my laptop. Upgrading to 8.04 also created havoc with every wireless card in the house.

[03:58] #ubuntu-br [03:58] tester: it's just unix man. no genius required :-) [03:58] does anyone know how to share a hard drive over a vpn? [03:58] anirudh0: as there is on any OS [03:58] gregbrady I find XP cludgy non-intuitive and a pain to use. I recently purchased a USB bluetooth adapter. On XP it wanted to replace the Windows bluetooth stack with one from Toshiba. On Linux it just worked. [03:58] KRaZy_WaKa: but if a piece of hardware does'nt work on xp,its manufacturer's will go out of business [03:59] EU NAO ENTENDI CARAI [03:59] I want to run a CMS on my home machine. Simple stuff: good gallery, blog w/ comments, etc... Want something flexible yet mostly easy to admin. Recommendations? I know Postnuke and don't want to go back... [03:59] will00 vpn just encrypts the connection. You can use any method like NFS or CIFS (Samba) once the conneciton is established [03:59] DICO: you must type "/join #ubuntu-br" [03:59] how do i reinstall the kernel hardware drivers? [03:59] harriseldon: yup, understood. I just wish Linux would be computer centric instead of the current distro models. Make them for current hardware. [04:00] anirud0: nah they adapt, hardware is designed for certain OS's, Windoze is known for compatibility issues [04:00] Flannel: And just to make absolutely positive, i can use UNetbootin with HD selected, to install Ubuntu without replacing/damaging the OS on that Harddrive, correct? [04:00] gregbrady it is a constant struggle between choice and standards. I agree. [04:00] will00, nothing special is required if u have vpn running just share it using samba. The other computer should then see yours in a windows network [04:00] harriseldon: oh yeah.....and we are caught in between. [04:00] dhamma what happened that you need to do that? Is there a specific driver that you need? [04:01] case in point: i am working on a friends XP computer which has a compatibility issue with a LiteOn DVD burner, and thus far haven't found the right drivers for it [04:01] Since it only gives you 2 options, USB & HD, i just want to make sure heh. The faq isn't explaining that part (that i've seen yet) === Cogumelo_ is now known as Cogumelo [04:01] harriseldon: yes, my audio driver got corrupted somehow...i got a fatal error during bootup at the loading hardware drivers stage...error message related to alsa [04:02] KRaZy_WaKa: thats because ms is trying hard to push vista now...and vista is such a sorry piece of work that the only way to do that is to ensure that some stuff only works on it [04:02] mobiGeek, try joomla [04:02] Leefmc: You should defrag windows first. And, this might be good to read before hand. once you've booted, its just like any other installation. [04:02] !dualboot | LeChaca1 [04:02] LeChaca1: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [04:02] Oh, Leef left. Sorry LeChaca1 [04:02] anirudh0: I don't want it to go into standby mode, I just want it to turn off the drives, but leave the other parts on. Can't I do that? [04:03] was going to make him learn ubuntu bcuz i know it will work! but am trying my best to keep him in his comfort zone as he is not very computer literate, he can do the basic everybody stuff i.e. web browsing dload music, edit video with windows movie maker, etc. [04:03] harriseldon: sorry, just venting here a bit! [04:03] dhamma use pastebin to post the error. Perhaps someone can help to diagnose the problem without rebuilding the modules [04:03] Can someone explain why when I click on the "updates available" and choose "preferences" it does absolutely nothing? [04:03] Is anyone having GUI update issues? [04:03] i'm sure i'd spend a lot of time on here fixing things that he would mess up if i set him loose on ubuntu lol [04:04] swansk: huge. It just took out one of my laptops [04:04] KRaZy_WaKa: that is a very common scenario..i'm trying to make by mom leave xp...but she says she does'nt want to learn another office suite again..even though oofice is so similar... [04:04] Which is better overall, Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [04:04] Rayvis: ubuntu...though kubuntu guys work harder [04:04] KRaZy_WaKa, that is no problem just remove his account from sudoers so he cant make system wide changes [04:04] harriseldon: the error messages scrolled by too fast and i didn't know how to freeze the screen and write it down...during another reboot the error message went away, but i've been without audio since then...rebooting and following the audio troubleshooting guide did nothing...it's either reinstall the modules or clean install, which i'd rather avoid [04:04] Rayvis lol. Do you like gnome or kde? [04:04] yeah trying to convince my gf as well lol... but some of her pogo games wont work with ubuntu lol [04:04] gregbrady: not that kind of update. I am talking about minor daily updates. [04:04] Rayvis do you prefer KDE or GNOME? [04:04] Rayvis: its just personal preference. [04:05] swansk, so am I [04:05] Rayvis if you don't know the difference, use ubuntu [04:05] dhamma what is the module for your audio driver? [04:05] Rayvis if you want to be cool like me, use xubuntu [04:05] harriseldon: kubuntu-kde4 can give ubuntu a run for its money though..4.1 is coming in a month [04:05] poopsock: lol [04:05] hi all, does anyone know hor to go about editing /boot/grub so i can sort out my error 17 and error 13(windows issues? [04:05] says online version is only for users running windows with IE, if the world was more in tune with ubuntu philosophy it'd be such a better place [04:05] gregbrady: really? I have to manually update everything from the command line. The gui update manager and synaptic doesn't work for me. [04:06] poopsock: why stop at xubuntu..go fluxubuntu! [04:06] swansk: I can't even add new programs anymore! [04:06] anirudh0 ah, now we are talking [04:06] KRaZy_WaKa: run IE under winw [04:06] swansk: `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` will upgrade everything [04:06] dhamma did you try rmmod for the audio driver. Then in a separate terminal use tail -f /var/log/messages then modprobe the driver again and look in the other session for errors [04:06] harriseldon: i'm not sure, but my card is cmedia cmi8738 [04:06] *wine [04:06] anirudh0 although i usually do use fluxbox on another, unmentionable, OS [04:06] i'm having issues with my video card...Nvidia geforce 7600. I think the latest kernel upgrade broke the driver and I can't get it working again -_- [04:06] yeah i thought about that, but she's a woman lol you know how that goes... they are right you are wrong! lmao [04:06] poopsock: there are even better things out there..damn small linnx for instance ;) [04:06] swansk: my system has slowley degraded to being almost useless. I have to completely wipe it out and reinstall tomorrow some time [04:07] Flannel: I have to do that even for minor updates? Will that fix the issues I have? [04:07] KRaZy_WaKa: so true! [04:07] Would Amarok run better on Kubuntu? It's started having troub;e running in Ubuntu [04:07] Rayvis: no..the same..what trouble [04:07] swansk: That'll grab all updates, all the time. The alternative (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade) will be identical except it won't grab new kernels. [04:07] anirudh0 nah, linux from scratch ;) [04:08] no cruft, no mess [04:08] poopsock: no..linux from scratch!=small binaries [04:08] Rayvis shouldn't make a difference [04:08] Flannel: great. I'd remember that. Now how do I get my gui update manager working again? [04:08] anirudh0 come look at mine [04:08] anirudh0 did you see this explanation of Plasma by Sebastian Kügler? It almost makes me want to switch to KDE, especially the activities concept. http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=817 [04:08] poopsock: the perfect thing to learn linux on though [04:08] harriseldon: then you should :) [04:08] anybody? I Grub wont let me load ubuntu 8.04 it just gives me error 17 [04:08] Anirudh0: It freezes when I try to play a song. I ran from terminal but it didn't say anything special. After it freezes, I have to open System Monitor and end it that way to try to open it again. It worked fine a couple days ago though. [04:08] gregbrady: do you have the hardy-proposed repo enabled? that seems to be causing problems for some [04:08] swansk: I have no idea. It depends on what's broken. If its something that broke with an upgrade, then upgrading again (once they fix the package) should fix it [04:09] anirudh0 anyway, I'm a bad, bad man and use freebsd mostly :( [04:09] i'm sorry [04:09] gregbrady: Your right, I can't add software either. [04:09] legend2440: let me check [04:09] harriseldon: its only a gig on your hard disk after all...and kwin4 even has composite support..so no compiz needed [04:09] poopsock: i pity you then [04:09] although i think i may be able to turn her after a while, right now i am running a win XP install of questionable legality on her computer, and she does get on mine on occasion so i found out last night lol [04:09] legend2440: Maybe that is my problem. [04:09] Rayvis: the only difference is that the libraries and pre requisites are mostly already instaled at kubuntu to support amarok [04:09] :) [04:09] anirudh0 I will wait for 4.1 and try it [04:09] swansk: nope, my system is completely beat.... === Cosmosan is now known as Cosmo-san [04:09] harriseldon: try from the current svn..compiles without any problems [04:09] harriseldon: rmmod snd-cmipci [04:09] ERROR: Module snd_cmipci is in use [04:10] anirudh0 i love pity from ubuntu users. As long as they use the pityGUI and never recompile the pity themselves! [04:10] harriseldon: nick from the foundation? [04:10] swansk: hardy-proposed is not stable, and should *not* be enabled on almost everyone's boxes. [04:10] legend2440: I get the following error: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [04:10] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [04:10] poopsock: lol :D [04:10] anirudh0 yes, but spelled wrong (not on purpose) [04:10] Flannel: Maybe That is my problem. [04:10] dhamma use sudo rmmod -f snd_cmipci [04:10] Flannel: HOw do I make sure it's off? [04:10] legend2440: and when I run dpkg, it just crashes my computer and takes about 20 minutes to reboot [04:11] dhamma this will force the removal of the module even if it is in use [04:11] hello , i instaled ubuntu 8.04 today , but now dhclient is broken , it will not get a lease from my dhcp device [04:11] swansk: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [04:11] any ideas on fixing this [04:11] harriseldon: ERROR: Removing 'snd_cmipci': Resource temporarily unavailable [04:11] mohadib, how do you know that it's broken, other then it can't get a lease? [04:11] adam7: thats broken in my book [04:12] swansk: some repos get put in /etc/apt/sources.list.d as well..you might want to look there [04:12] i can reboot to dapper and all works fine [04:12] mohadib, is it wireless? [04:12] mohadib: wireless? [04:12] dhamma can you use pastebin to show the output of lspci and lsmod? [04:12] anirudh0: told her that her AVG free is being discontinued in 2 days and wont be able to install the new because i cant get SP2 on her computer, and she suggested buying windows, in the current US economic situation lol [04:12] adam7: SuN13 its wired network [04:12] harriseldon: ok...hang on [04:12] mohadib: You have them both installed on the same box? [04:12] Flannel: yes , on differient harddrives [04:12] mohadib, Is it possible that the interface name changed ( maybe eth0 became eth1 and eth1 became wifi0 as happened to me once ) ? [04:12] gregbrady: have you tried sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [04:12] anirudh0: ok. I'll look [04:13] i made sure its useing eth1 [04:13] using mii-tool [04:13] legend2440: yup, it just crashes my laptop and it takes 20-30 minutes to reboot [04:13] !pastebin [04:13] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:13] the other nic is completly unplugged [04:13] KRaZy_WaKa: hmm..does anyone buy windows in the us for home use?...in india people almost never buy windows for home stuff..only organisations have to [04:13] anirudh0: if i could get all the games she likes running on ubuntu i'd be able to get her to switch without a problem i'm sure. [04:13] !pastebin [04:13] Anyone else have issues with an Nvidia card after the latest kernel updates? [04:14] Hello, thank your for a fascinating distribution. My interesting issue is that I installed Ubuntu onto my HP nc8430 with the Alternate CD. With the Live CD, the broadcom wireless was detected and almost all the quicklaunch buttons worked. After the install, neither the wireless nor any of the quicklaunch buttons worked. Any thoughts or direction? Thank you very much. [04:14] tehdave: i have [04:14] anirudh0: here in denmark piracy rates are about 30% [04:14] SuN13, have you gotten it to work properly since? [04:14] tehdave: are you using the new kernel restricted drivers? [04:15] sources.list.d has nothing in it [04:15] can anyone offer help trouble shooting high swap usage on a VPS? [04:15] trask: :)..almost 100% in india ...and people say the situation is same in china as well [04:15] KRaZy_WaKa, That is more of a question for #ubuntu-offtopic or some other channel, but yes, some people buy windows in the U.S. and almost all computers come with windows ( legally ) installed [04:15] SuN13, Tried installing them, rebooted, came back into a 600x400 resolution and it wouldn't detect my card T-T [04:15] flannel: I don't see any "probable" in sources.list [04:15] anirudh0: im coming as soon as i can, i know i live in the dead end of the world :P [04:15] SuN13, tried using the nvidia-glx package, nvidia-glx-new, and even the driver installer from Nvidia themselves [04:16] KRaZy_WaKa: please don't discuss owning pirated software here. Thanks. [04:16] uninstalling each one before installing the next... [04:16] harriseldon: http://pastebin.ca/1033715 [04:16] techdave: which restricted drivers do you have installed? [04:16] anyone know how to invoke the setup from a liveusb? [04:16] whats the bin name [04:16] swansk: how about hardy-proposed? [04:16] trask: ubuntu has a niche in regional languages though..ms does'nt care about people on villages who dont know english..but ubuntu and fsf does [04:16] SuN13, don't have the restricted drivers (from the Gui) active now [04:16] Nith: ubiquity [04:17] using the driver I got off Nvidia's site [04:17] legend2440: I see quite a few problems after the last update. I think it might have been a bit of a disaster for Ubuntu [04:17] when I uninstalled it before and used the restricted driver, it came back to a ridiculously low-res X session [04:17] techdave: which nvida card do you have? [04:17] legend2440: nope. not there === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid [04:17] anirudh0: its not the softwarelaws that drag me there, its the food ;) [04:17] SuN13, Geforce 7600 [04:17] my apologies [04:18] so no ideas why dhclient would work in dapper and no Hardy? [04:18] gregbrady: did you check if hardy-proposed repo was enabled? [04:18] what a channel, 1262 people... [04:18] legend2440: I can't, Synaptic crashes [04:19] trask: we have the same laws..but no one enforces them :) [04:19] hi ; is firefox 3 release??? i just did a upgrade and it says firefox3 ; but no info on mozilla site........... [04:19] legend2440: everything in my system - admin won't start [04:19] montamer: as far as I know, it's the beta version [04:19] montamer: yes..rc1 was out long ago [04:19] montamer, rc1 is out [04:19] techdave: try installing restricted modules for Linux version 2.6.24.17-generic [04:19] gregbrady: in terminal gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [04:19] montamer: which repo are you using? [04:19] hello [04:20] RC1 is not official release though you have to click on the latest update link or something like that on mozilla site [04:20] SuN13, so run the uninstall script for the nvidia driver, then install restricted? [04:20] one moment let me check [04:20] what tool can i use in ubuntu to join wmv video files [04:20] dhamma I do not notice anything strange. Can you do a dmesg | grep -i cmipci to see if there was some error raised for this module? [04:20] it just says firefox 3 no extention like rc1 or anything [04:20] http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html [04:20] i will just give a link to screenshot [04:20] wait [04:20] montamer: rc1==release candidate 1 [04:21] legend2440: and the lines will be? [04:21] montamer: essentially identical to the final release...except for any glaring bugs that might come out [04:21] ohhh [04:21] techdave: what i did was use the synaptic package manager... I unistalled the previous restricted one...unistalled previous drivers ...then just install it from the package manager....just to a search for nvidia and it is listed [04:21] ledend2440: I can't even start the partition editor. Authorizations I could start. [04:21] i use rc's they are usually really good [04:21] SuN13, only thing is, not sure if it would be the nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new... [04:21] is there some central place i can go to modify the default program different filetypes open with instead of right clicking on each and going to Open With? [04:21] legend2440: I don't see any terms "hardy-proposed" [04:22] ye i guess it is rc1 [04:22] in synaptic [04:22] i got so exited :) [04:22] montamer: on mozilla website halfway down on right hand side, under what's new Firefox 3 Sneak Peek [04:22] or are you saying just go through the restricted drivers manager? [04:22] techdave: doesnt matter if you install the correct restricted driver...it will show up in the hardware driver list [04:22] chelz: yes../usr/share/applications/defaults.list [04:22] harriseldon: dmesg | grep -i cmipc didn't return an error message [04:22] KRaZy_WaKa: saw the ff download record thing? [04:22] speaking of RC1 has it hit the ubuntu repos yet? [04:23] KRaZy_WaKa: they really want to burn their servers :) [04:23] anirudh0: thanks! :D [04:23] gregbrady: ok well then something else messed it up can u open synaptic from terminal? gksu synaptic [04:23] rc1 could become rc2 and so on, or it could turn into the final without a change larger than merely changing the internal name from rc1 to final [04:23] yup [04:23] KRaZy_WaKa: some reports on irc last night [04:23] dhamma are you using Hardy? [04:23] harriseldon: yes [04:23] KRaZy_WaKa: sorry...8 hrs ago [04:23] I only started using FF3.0 today, and I have already had problems printing and viewing websites [04:24] I don't think its that final [04:24] legend2440: updating with command line seems to work fine. It's some problem with GUI. It isn't server. [04:24] yeah got the report a couple days ago when RC 1 came out but i get nothing for update manager just the firefox 3 that comes with hardy which isd beta 5 [04:24] legend2440: Yup, same error [04:24] Someothername: i've had mem usage going to 70% [04:24] rc1, i've seen is actually rock solid, better that 2.0.0.14 by far [04:24] SuN13, thanks, I'll give it a shot === fdd-0 is now known as fdd [04:24] techdave: cool [04:24] dhamma what is the error message you are getting? or is it just no sound output? [04:24] gregbrady: what does error msg say? [04:25] hey does anyone able to help me out with my grub problem? [04:25] harriseldon: no sound output [04:25] anirudh0: unused memory is wasted memory [04:25] legend2440: same as described previously [04:25] Buhmanator: not when it prevents other apps from running..my comp was down to a crawl coz of ff [04:25] how long time goes usually between releases of new firefox ubuntu builds? [04:25] legend2440: I just updated. The "update" notice went away. I can only update with the command line. The update notice functions don't work. And many of the admin functions like synaptic don't work. [04:25] !ASK| J-a-k-e [04:26] J-a-k-e: 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. :-) [04:26] dhamma have you check the mixer settings to make sure it is not muted? If you can confirm that, we can move onto other steps to diagnose the problem [04:26] legend2440: run dpkg....and when I try that, my machine crashes and takes 20-30 minutes to reboot [04:26] i'll brb again [04:26] harriseldon: yes, i already check that out...nothing is muted [04:26] would anyone be kind enough to pastebin the EXACT output for traceroute www.example.com for me? :) [04:27] godfreyhk_: unknown host [04:27] I'm writing up a tutorial article but somehow I couldn't get the traceroute the work correctly on this vm.. [04:27] anirudh0: are you sure? [04:27] cause I can do it on my windows PC [04:28] godfreyhk_: traceroute: unknown host www.example.com [04:28] godfreyhk, its tracert [04:28] gregbrady: backup your home directory and reinstall? [04:28] dhamma can you try to play a sound file from the command line with the command aplay -v [sound file] [04:28] SeaPhor: no, he's correct [04:28] Someothername: yup, that's what I'm thinking. Time to give another distro a chance [04:28] seanw: tracert equivalents to traceroute -I [04:28] harriseldon: ok...gimme a sec [04:28] SeaPhor: tracert equivalents to traceroute -I [04:28] SeaPhor: I thought that's an alias for the windows version [04:28] I see some guys in here like 15 hours a day everytime with a new problem, isn't it time to those people to realize that Ubuntu is just not appropiate to them? [04:29] anybody get different hardware detection going from live CD to hd install? [04:29] zSoilworker: heh chances are they should google and RTFM more, but at least they're trying in their own way ;) [04:29] zSoilworker: to each their own. If they'd like to solve the problem, more power to them. [04:29] zSoilworker: yup, I agree. I fall into that catagory. [04:29] godfreyhk_: strange..ping and tracepath give something...traceroute says unknown host [04:30] zSoilworker-> persistence is the key [04:30] zSoilworker: on the contrary, ubuntu is exactly what is appropriate for them [04:30] ok, well I have windows on a 160 gig ide drive and ubuntu on my 30gig ide + a 320gig sata for movies and such Grub keeps on playing up and giving me an error 17 message when i try to load ubuntu 8.04 and sometimes an error 13 message when i try to load windows xp. I have tried reinstalling grub off the ubuntu live cd to each drive at different times, Tho it seems it is only a temporary fix [04:30] gregbrady: any files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates? [04:30] hi [04:30] harriseldon: http://pastebin.ca/1033740 [04:31] zSoilworker: because no other distro allows you to survive without rtfm [04:31] legend2440: let me check [04:31] j-a-k-e: running vista? [04:31] J-a-k-e: paste menu.lst [04:31] how do i install the linux binary of doom3? [04:31] tritium, chelz , godfreyhk , I've been using tracert, since i was on Red Hat 7.04? [04:31] my output looks like this http://pastebin.com/m16f0128b [04:31] I guess they will be more comfortable using WIndows. [04:31] bad news [04:32] legend2440: yes, 37 of them [04:32] At least if they screw up, wich is most likely, they coudld just reinstall it. [04:32] SeaPhor: why don't you check what's installed, then [04:32] I am guessing some of my ICMP packets got filtered by vmware or sth [04:32] KRaZy_WaKa: no, windows xp I never had this trouble with with 7.10 [04:32] this is what the file is called i gotta get to run doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run [04:32] tritium, lol,,, ok :-) [04:32] gregbrady: remove them sudo rm * [04:32] godfreyhk_: you should'nt be asking guys to post their traceroute..not in a public forum [04:32] legend2440: all? [04:32] SeaPhor: i just copied and pasted what the tracert man page said [04:32] since I only need some sample output for my article I'm thinking that it's too much work to debug this problem [04:32] gregbrady: yes [04:33] legend2440, gregbrady: be careful with that command [04:33] if the nvidia driver is properly working 'lsmod | grep glx' should produce a line of output, correct? This is not happening for me, even though Load 'glx' is in the Module section of my xorg.conf. anyone know what's up? [04:33] this thing was working great all damn day..i installed some virtual box os stuff..and now none of my kernels modules are loading...x wont start..and nvidia driver wont load. before i start tearing things apart is anyone familar with this situation? [04:33] dhamma can you try aplay again but this time use pasuspender aplay [filename]? This will remove pulse audio as a potential problem [04:33] anirudh0: maybe you can remove/change the internal network part? [04:33] does anyone know the name of the app that is a sidebar like mac has or windows gadgets or something lol.. it has RSS feeds.. clock.. network monitoring..etc [04:33] gregbrady: yes be very careful make sure you are in right folder [04:33] godfreyhk____: then whats the point :) [04:34] anirudh0: is that /boot/grub/menu.list? I'm running windows xp at the moment the only thing I can boot into so I'll have to reboot off the live cd [04:34] this is a dell machine inspiron with 710 pre install on it. [04:34] J-a-k-e: xp has an ext3 driver..google for it..it'll allow you to access menu.lst [04:34] shehmood: make sure you have the correct restricted drivers installed for the kernel [04:34] gregbrady: cd /var/lib/dpkg/updates [04:34] anirudh0: well I guess changing 192.168.5.4 to 10.23.10.2 won't be very much of a problem for me [04:34] bobboy do you have a url with a screenshot? [04:34] harriseldon: i have killall pulseaudio in my startup routine...it's not running...having said that...alsa was playing fine for a while, then suddenly stopped....i noticed ktorrent was running at the time, i use gnome, so i don't know if something got corrupted that way [04:34] legend2440: done [04:35] at least it's better than those * * * :S [04:35] harriseldon: one sec ill try to get you one [04:35] dhamma: unlikely [04:35] gah [04:35] legend2440: I sudo nautilus....it just makes it easier [04:35] gregbrady: not sure if you nedd to reboot or not try synaptic [04:35] kubuntu === yusuf_ is now known as cupu [04:35] does anyone know of reasons that would prevent the glx kernel module from loading in Hardy? [04:36] j-a-k-e: here are som dual-boot tutorials that may help, http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/2006/06/02/how-to-dual-boot-ubuntu-606-dapper-linux-desktop-along-side-windows-xp/ first site is vista and ubuntu dual boot tut, and second link is dapper and XP dual boot tut, ya may have to browse around the sites a bit for hardy and XP dual boot [04:36] godfreyhk____: its probably not convenient for you..but i'd suggest ssh'ing to a public server..and running traceroute from there [04:36] dhamma any reason why you stopped pulseaudio? Have you gone through steps to make sure that alsa is not trying to use pulse? [04:36] anirudh0: i've had audio problems from ktorrent taking control of my audio, but it was never anything that couldn't be fixed by closing ktorrent or (at worst) rebooting [04:36] legend2440: ok, now should i upgrade or what? [04:36] harriseldon: http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/1290/screenshot1li4.png something like this [04:36] i just reinstalled 7.10 on a harddrive with windows xp, and grub was set up just fine. but when i tried to install 8.04 grub would not install properly. what gives? [04:36] !hd0 [04:36] Factoid hd0 not found [04:36] legend2440: and thank you very much for your persistence and help! [04:36] dhamma: it is not ktorrent, but arts that controls the audio..hence sudo killall artsd will help [04:36] anirudh0: I'd do just that thanks :) [04:36] gregbrady: synaptic opens now? if so try sudo dpkg --configure -a agin [04:36] any suggestion though? [04:37] smehmood: do you have the correct restricted drives installed? [04:37] harriseldon: i'm not sure what steps that would be...but like i said...alsa was working fine for a while, and even when i removed the 'killall pulseaudio' from my startup routine, the audio wasn't restored [04:37] legend2440: will do [04:37] I want to change the password of my irc account but i do not know where to get that authcode [04:37] harriseldon: this guy says its called Sidebar and its a screenlet?? what would be some alternative? [04:37] tritium, chelz , godfreyhk , wait, i think i may have been taken wrong= meaning i said it wrong!, I am a n00b, i have played with things before and been taught this or that but now I am 100% Linux/Ubuntu,, I was not making a statement of correction, was just saying what i have used and how i have used, and yes, i type that slow [04:37] hai [04:37] is there a windows support channel? and has anybody used it? wondering if it is as good as ours, got some windoze questions i need to ask them [04:37] KRaZy_WaKa: The thing is everything worked fine with gutsy, tho now that I have hoary installed I'm having issues [04:37] Pramod_Helios: /msg nickserv set password new-password-here [04:37] bobboy I think that is gkrellm. Have you tried screenlets? [04:38] disconnect [04:38] KRaZy_WaKa, there is ##windows [04:38] krazy_waka: yeah [04:38] ok thanks [04:38] harriseldon: i dont even know what screenlets are? [04:38] legend2440: ok, If I crash, I'll be back in 30 mins [04:38] syntac, /disconnect ;) [04:38] SeaPhor: it's cool. The tracert is in the traceroute package, but it's not installed by default. What's available by default is traceroute6. [04:38] anirudh0: i have ktorrent running right now and this is what happens: killall artsd [04:38] artsd: no process killed [04:38] gregbrady: synaptic opens now? [04:38] yes [04:38] legend2440: yes [04:38] exit [04:38] adam7, yea, it changed windows on me right when i typed it :) [04:38] adam7 their info any good? [04:39] bobboy http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Home [04:39] tritium, can you give an example cmd? [04:39] bobboy it is in the repo's too [04:39] SeaPhor: example of what? [04:39] syntac, ah :) [04:39] Does anyone know if there's a scoring RSS reader? Like you would score usenet news posts? This is driving me crazy. RSS can give you a firehose of information, and I haven't found a single program that gives you the tools to manage it properly. [04:39] godfreyhk____: seems that was easier said than done..most servers seem to require a paid shell account [04:39] gregbrady: i guess you can try updates if you want [04:39] anirudh0: I installed a driver tho I just realised for some reason my ubuntu drive doesn't show under winxp's computer management [04:39] godfreyhk____: you dont have a friend who has a public ip? [04:39] KRaZy_WaKa, I assume they're ok, but I don't think there are as many people in their channel as in here [04:39] harriseldon: k thankyou [04:39] tritium, tracert www.google.com [04:39] harriseldon: i think the big clue for me was the fatal error message during bootup...i think the audio kernel driver is corrupted and i'd like to reinstall it somehow to see if that's the problem...how do i go about doing that? [04:39] legend2440: well, I have to at some point, right? [04:40] J-a-k-e, Windows can't see the ext3 partitions [04:40] Honestly, I think I'm going to have to get an rss to email converter, and then actually use a newsreader on them. [04:40] lol off i venture into the abyss that is M$ lol i'll stay here though for moral support :D [04:40] gregbrady: lol yes good luck [04:40] tritium, thats what i'm used to doing [04:40] SeaPhor: that's correct [04:40] legend2440: thanks! You have really helped me out here [04:40] gregbrady: your sure hardy-proposed is not enabled? [04:40] anyone know how to install canon MP210 printer in ubuntu? [04:40] godfreyhk____: you could ssh to his comp..but all this is rather too much hassle...cant help it though..no one who understands what he is doing is likely to give you his traceroute output :/ === angusb_ is now known as angusb [04:40] it said missing driver [04:41] chmod +x doom3-linux-1.3.1.1304.x86.run how do i do that? [04:41] adam7: ok never mind haha i'm an idiot I just realised I'd disabled the drive in device manager [04:41] karllenz: terminal [04:41] legend2440: and listened to my venting at the same time! I will check for the hardy-proposed [04:41] the file is on my desktop [04:41] looks like my problem is quite small compared to most. I think I will just deal. I downloaded the windows driver and installed ndisgtk. Wireless is up now. I have no idea where to go to get the quicklaunch buttons working. No biggy though. Thanks again for a really fun distro. [04:41] i just up graded to hardy and i cant figure out how to change what volume channel the buttons on my keyboard and mouse control under gusty it was just preference on volume control not anymore, any ideas? [04:41] anirudh0: no problem thanks anywyas :) [04:41] karllenz: right click on it, go to properties, then select "execute" under user [04:41] tritium, thanks for your time [04:41] its like none of the crap that come on this thing works [04:41] maybe I'll be better off debuging my vmware problem [04:42] troxor: now how do i run it? [04:42] gregbrady: in synaptic>settings>repos>updates>no check on hardy-proposed [04:42] got it [04:42] awsome [04:42] legend2440: No, hardy-proposed is unchecked [04:42] gregbrady: ok good [04:42] lets say i run a command like gedit helloworld.txt from the bash shell.. how do i bring this application to the background so that i can cont'd using the shell for other purposes [04:42] dhamma you can try to reinstall linux-generic but your success may be limited [04:42] grendal_prime: tone down the language, please [04:43] Ububegin: add a & to it..but google would have told you faster [04:43] i have 7.1, windows xp and grub all installed and working perfectly. can i use the 8.04 cd to replace 7.1 and not mess up grub or windows? i've had bad experiences with letting the 8.04 cd install grub [04:43] harriseldon: i installed gkrellm with sudo apt-get install gkrellm but how do i start it up now? i cannot find it in the applications bar [04:43] legend2440: take some credit, thanks! [04:43] Ububegin: gedit& [04:43] harriseldon: so what do your instincts tell you...i've run out of options besides a clean install [04:43] gregbrady: no problem your welcome [04:43] how to make Canon MP210 all-in-one printer work? [04:43] can someone help me mount my card reader? [04:44] anirudh0: but the gedit is already running... i want to bring the application to the background... [04:44] harriseldon: i've even considered downgrading back to fiesty [04:44] seems like hardy has multiple issues with people [04:44] gregbrady: have you tried updates yet? [04:44] anirudh0: without closing the alredy opened gedit... Is it not possible :? [04:44] Hi Folks. I just installed ddclient. Does that package automatically start on reboot? how can I tell? [04:45] Ububegin: open a new tab! [04:45] how can I mount this ? 09:03.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) [04:45] hey folks, whats the best way to install kde4 without installing kubuntu-desktop? [04:45] Ububegin: in gnome-terminal :) [04:45] SuN13: yes, i do have the latest restricted drivers installed. [04:45] how to find drivers for canon mp210? [04:45] joshual: look up the kubuntu page for details...package name is kde4-core [04:45] dhamma corrupted modules like you suggest would mean bad hard drive, that is why it seems unlikely. I would try the live cd first to rule out a general sound card issue [04:45] i have 7.1, windows xp and grub all installed and working perfectly. can i use the 8.04 cd to replace 7.1 and not mess up grub or windows? i've had bad experiences with letting the 8.04 cd install grub [04:45] Ububegn go back to the terminal and type ctrl-z [04:46] kelvin911: printers use ppd files. google for a ppd file, if one's not provided in the ubuntu packages [04:46] anirudh0: :) .... Kinda did that all the time, just wondering if there was some other command out there... [04:46] Ububegn then type bg to put gedit in the background [04:46] harriseldon: does'nt work on all apps [04:46] harriseldon: good idea...and if live cd plays sound then??? my harddrive (seagate) is fairly new [04:46] smehmood: which nvidia card do you have [04:46] SuN13: should there be a "glx" module? lsmod has an "nvidia" module and a "agpgart" module that says "nvidia, intel_agp" next do it [04:46] SuN13: Geforce 8400 [04:46] anirudh0 I just did it for gedit :) [04:46] tritium: do i look for it in canon website? [04:46] tritium: or ubuntu site? [04:46] harriseldon: type *bg* .. doesnt work [04:47] anirudh0: do you have experience with conky? [04:47] kelvin911: I'd google it. [04:47] smehmood: you would use the glx new driver, but which version of the restricted driver do you have installed? [04:47] RoshanK: conky and compiz dont mix [04:47] Ububegin you did ctrl-z first from the terminal to suspend the current command? [04:47] harriseldon: no, just type *bg* [04:48] anirudh0: ok, i can access my ubuntu drive should I just paste my whole menu.list here? [04:48] RoshanK: compiz screenlets may be a better option [04:48] tritium: canon site doesnt have linux driveras [04:48] SuN13: 169.12, I installed it using EnvyNG. I've also tried just by using the restricted drivers manager. neither has worked. [04:48] J-a-k-e: no..on pastebin.com [04:48] anirudh0: really? i thought a bunch of ppl got it working? is it the flickering that you're talking about? well right now i'm trying to use conky but have no clue on it. how do i start? sudo conky? [04:48] dhamma you could try copying the module from the live cd to your other system just to verify your hunch (backup the module first of course) [04:48] anirudh0: sorry about all the questions [04:48] kelvin911: you're looking for ppd files, remember [04:48] tritium: looking [04:49] RoshanK: yes..you have to use double buffering to get past the flickering..but there are still some issues under compiz [04:49] Ubugegin you must suspend the current process first with ctrl-z this will put you back to the $ prompt. Then type bg [04:49] Hey all, does anyone know why the unlock button on network-admin is greyed out? I have to manualy kismet to look for an access point, then iwconfig to it? [04:49] what is a good utility readily available to view file contents including non-printable characters [04:49] harriseldon: how do i locate that module? [04:49] RoshanK: nope...no sudo..conky has a default .conkyrc that should work to begin with...then google for other conkyrc's..or write your own [04:49] SuN13: although Restricted Devices manager says "In use" if i start up nvidia-settings, it tells me i don't seem to be using the driver. It tells me to run nvidia-xconfig, and restart X. After doing that, it still says i'm not using the driver. [04:50] anirudh0: http://pastebin.com/m392b674e === solid_li` is now known as solid_liq [04:50] anirudh0: ok i found the default under examples and renamed it to .conkyrc after putting it my home holder but can't see anything of conky on the desktop [04:50] tritium: can i use the one for mac? [04:51] tritium: canon doesnt support linux [04:51] kelvin911: ppd files are fairly universal [04:51] smehmood: i have as the latest resticted driver : restricted modules for Linux version 2.6.24.17-generic [04:51] anirudh0:: nvm i see it [04:51] anirudh0: thank you [04:52] hello everyone. [04:52] J-a-k-e: your ubuntu is on hd2..and win on hd1 [04:52] tritium: am i looking for scangear? [04:52] ok got x working again...that thing installed some weri kernel...a server kernel of some sort...very bazar..anyway..i have this thing happening with kdm...crap..wrong channel for that. [04:52] how come when i run doom3 my monitor says out of range do i need to change my refresh rate? [04:53] tritium: or IJ Printer Driver? [04:53] J-a-k-e: that is probably causing the problem..but i have no experience with seperate drives..wait for other people to answer [04:53] and how do i do that [04:53] how do i get one computer to show up under network servers in nautilus on another computer on the same network [04:53] dhamma it will be located at /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ubuntu/sound/alsa-driver/pci/snd-cmipci.ko (uname -r will be replaced on the command line with your currently running kernel version) [04:53] kelvin911: i don't know what you have [04:54] tritium: Canon MP210 [04:54] legend2440: yup, all works well! [04:54] harriseldon: ok...i'll try it...thx for all your help and advice [04:54] tritium: i found a .deb file to download [04:54] well according to device.map [04:54] (hd0) /dev/sda (320 sata) [04:54] (hd1) /dev/sdb (160 ide) [04:54] (hd2) /dev/sdc (30 ide) [04:54] J-a-k-e: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:54] gregbrady: ok good [04:55] what's the difference between "Mark for removal" and "Mark for complete removal" [04:55] legend2440: adding new programs works wonderful again! Thanks [04:55] I appear to have versions of the nvidia driver for 2 versions of the kernel (one of which is not in use atm), and I wan't to uninstall that. [04:55] can someone help me mount my card reader? (texas instruments 5in1) [04:55] gregbrady: yw [04:56] J-a-k-e did you check here? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=442945 [04:56] smehmood: yes you need to use the one i specified above for hardy [04:56] gregbrady: what happened. did computer crash during update? [04:57] I don't want it to go into standby mode, I just want it to turn off the drives, but leave the other parts on. Can't I do that? [04:57] J-a-k-e what is (hd2) then in your menu.lst? [04:57] anyone screen says out of range when i run doom3?? [04:57] yours. [04:57] !gkrellm [04:57] Factoid gkrellm not found [04:58] what are the chances Hardy will get openssh 5.0p1 soon? or at least 4.8p1? [04:58] harriseldon: yep, thanks I did try that. Oh i forgot to mention hd2 is my ubuntu drive [04:58] guys i need to figure out how to extend or duplicate on a monitor connected to a laptop? [04:58] does Debian have to pave the way? [04:59] legend2440: yup, each one. [04:59] anyone monitor says out of range when i run doom3 [04:59] Nutzebahn have you looked at Laptop Mode Tools (http://samwel.tk/laptop_mode/) be careful using it on desktop hard drives since they are not designed for the same number of spin-up/spin-downs [04:59] Hello, what drivers do I need to load Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless driver? [04:59] J-a-k-e does it seem odd that system.map does not have it listed? [05:00] ysth, once the distribution is out, they only provide updates for security, not new features [05:00] Zikiti, iwl3945 [05:00] harriseldon: This is a desktop. [05:00] gregbrady: oh ok. now those files you deleted while using sudo nautilus are probably in your root trash taking up space [05:00] thank you [05:00] Zikiti, on hardy, ipw3945 on gutsy and older [05:00] zoidberg give graphics card details. It would determine what tool to use [05:00] hardy here [05:00] adam7: oh, well [05:00] thanks [05:01] i have an ati radeon 9000 [05:01] what repository is this on? [05:01] its a dell d600 laptop [05:01] legend2440: no worries. Space is not at a premium. I love the technique you taught me though. I should be able to fix the other 4 machines now. [05:01] i think it should be easy to configure coz back when i had 7.04 it worked [05:01] ipw3945, what repo? [05:01] gregbrady: ok take care [05:01] harriseldon: it is listed in device.map as (hd2) /dev/sdc [05:01] iwl3945 sorry [05:02] legend2440: I just hope that Ubuntu corrects the problem. [05:02] Zikiti, iwl3945 is included in the installation, one thing u might wanna do is install backports package [05:02] Zikiti, it has an updated intel driver [05:02] Nutzebahn did you do a google search for linux spin down hard drive? There are some tips for using hdparm [05:02] ok because I don't seem to have it at all in my installation [05:02] hello everybody, where can i find share folder in ubuntu hardy ??? [05:02] Hey guys I"m in the midst of some stablitity problems. I figure to come in here now before I do a restart to see what can be done. I finished played FCE Ultra emulator and now all of a sudden the sound stopped working and GNOME is acting unstable. The top taskbar will freeze if I press the shutdown button and various programs such as Firefox, the Help menu, and even the terminal will freeze and not load. I'm in 8.04 and I'v [05:02] Zikiti, its not in any of the packages this driver is opensource and include in the kernel [05:03] Then why isn't my card loading? [05:03] Ktorrent broke on me. I tried to reinstall it (Windows habits) but it won't even run on it's own, and loading a .torrent says it can't talk to klauncher. [05:03] Zikiti, the driver is relatively new and unstable, many people report issues with it, try backports package [05:04] ok [05:04] Question: I used UNetBootin to install Ubuntu from Windows. Now it seemed to work great, though i am unable to check if it made a 2nd partition or anything like that, since i don't know ubuntu, but the main problem is that when i shut ubuntu down, after installing some basic stuff (FF3 Rc1 for example), i rebooted and it was a fresh install..

[05:06] any help on my problem would be most appreciated, I've had this problem at least two times a day.

My last ubuntu session seemed to shut down right, but i lost all of my custimization. [05:10] micoh: ok [05:10] kelvin911: well it's because it's a stupid Canadian product lol. [05:11] canon canadian? [05:11] Where is my $EDITOR set? I know that if I want to switch form nano to vim, I can add export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim, but I can't find my current declaration...

Is it ubuntu-specific or debian-specific?

Is there some odd "ubuntu save session" command i need to use each time before shutting down? My last ubuntu session seemed to shut down right, but i lost all of my custimization.

[05:22] BeOSMrX: http://www.archlinux.org/irc/ lists them all [05:22] micoh: how do i know if mounted properly ??, I assume that they are since i can access my files but you might have a something there ...

This will reset your graphics settings to defaults. [05:24] no [05:24] but i'm having issues with firefox [05:24] Question: Anyone? I can't use ubuntu if i am unable to save anything.. [05:24] ,if I changed it to ati,and restart x,the system indicates the wrong configuration [05:24] it unexpectedly closes on me..when i'm on youtube [05:25] Kaemon12433, that would be under a topic, anything dealing with ubuntu is cool here, including all applications in it.

[05:25] usser: ok i did that [05:25] mobiGeek: Question: I installed ubuntu, but after changing settings and new programs, it doesn't seem to save them when i shutdown. Anyone know why?

[05:27] usser,wait for a minute [05:27] usser: same issue still [05:27] mobiGeek: I'm typing the explanation, sorry [05:27] Leefmc: k [05:28] guys, relax in here, lol [05:28] matthias_N: try a google search for "nls=utf8,umask=0222" and you should find several guides to modify your fstab using those settings [05:28] no solutions yet alan? [05:28] Kaemon12433, im totally stumped, are you running a 64 bit ubuntu? [05:28] nope [05:28] normal version [05:28] * alan_m sighs [05:28] usser: i still have the same issue i can run it in wine but its really choppy and slow [05:28] micoh: thank you, will do ... [05:28] i have a dell dimension 2350 [05:28] mobiGeek: Ok, full story :). I installed ubuntu from Windows via UNetBootin because i am unable to usbboot, and don't have a cd drive. It seemed to work great. I logged onto ubuntu, added FF3, changed some settings, learned some things, etc. However, when i shut down moments ago all seemed fine. I saw no big errors, or anything, although it did ask me to make sure disk trays were closed and hit enter, i did that, and all was well [05:29] !flash | Kaemon12433 [05:29] Kaemon12433: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [05:29] mobiGeek: Thats a bit long, hopefully it all fit in.

[05:30] you're a cool guy alan..or a cool girl.. [05:30] usser: Ok the driver is loaded but I can't connect to any wireless network [05:30] mobiGeek: i did that, and all was well. Until i rebooted.. i rebooted, and it wanted the duel boot screen again, which made me choose UNetBootin, which i did, and that apparently either reinstalled Ubuntu, or my original ubuntu didn't save. Any comments on this? [05:30] Kaemon12433, thanks man, (im a guy) [05:30] I'm about to give up... thanks for your help anyway [05:30] alan dont mind if i stick around here? [05:30] hope i dont take up too much bandwitdh [05:31] ok so ##windows channel not so bad considerate people with intuitive solutions, but no closer to fixing my WinWoes lol glad to be back [05:31] Zikiti, do u see any networks at all? [05:31] Kaemon12433, personally i dont care, im not sure of the rule of people hanging out in here...op's? [05:31] micoh: that is okey just admitting it is worth a lot ... [05:31] anyone knows how to make canon mp210 works in ubuntu? [05:31] usser: yes I see them [05:31] When I boot, my screen goes black for ages. How do I get it to display what it is doing? Scrolling text is reassuring that something is going on rather than the system has died. I tried changing "# defoptions=quiet splash" to "# defoptions=quiet splash vga=791" in /boot/grub/menu.lst but then it complains "Undefined video mode number: 317" and gives me options to try other modes which also dont work! [05:31] usser: even tried creating my own [05:31] not connecting [05:32] thank god! i finally got a stable dual head setup [05:32] can i get a ruling on Kaemon12433's staying in room and just hanging out guys? (I am not sure of the rule and dont wanna break it) [05:32] there is something like a lan tester for linux? [05:32] 8.04 does not like synergy at all... thats all there is to it [05:32] well ubuntu [05:32] kelvin911: http://software.canon-europe.com/softw\are/0028481.asp?model= That is a cups driver for that printer [05:32] usser,there are so much,i try to pick up some:(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] rev 0, Mem @ 0xf0000000/27, 0xe8100000/16, I/O @ 0x3000/8 [05:33] karllen1, im sorry i cant help u much try issuing this command on the terminal doom3 --help to see maybe some command line switches that allow u to adjust the behaviour [05:33] to test stuffs like, bandwith, kind of packages that travels on the net, etc [05:33] viumden, pastebin it [05:33] so is it ok? [05:33] i cannot seem to get grub installed properly to a new drive I'm using to replace my existing one. each drive has three partitions (swap, /boot, and /, in order), and i've edited the new drive's fstab to match the new partitions' UUIDs, but when I boot off the new drive I just get the "grub>" prompt instead of the menu my old drive gives. what should i do next? [05:33] !pastebin | viumden [05:33] viumden: 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) [05:33] well guess i should get back to the task at hand, time to play with APTonCD [05:33] Kaemon12433, i guess so...*shrug* [05:33] cool then [05:33] Kaemon12433, ive got no official ruling from anybody saying otherwise. [05:33] usser doom--help does the same thing [05:33] what happened to ubuntu upgrade for 8.04? my firefox3 is gone and i cant install it! [05:34] thanks tho [05:34] :( [05:34] true [05:34] Kaemon12433: what better way to learn than to lurk [05:34] ubottu,tky,got it [05:34] Factoid tky,got it not found [05:34] mobiGeek: Perhaps my C:\ drive has the UNetBootin on it, and thus it rewrites ubuntu whenever i run it? Honestly i have no idea if UNetBootin installed a 2nd partition, because i don't know how to properly run ubuntu, so figuring that out is hard. Is there some added step i missed during this whole ubuntu process? [05:34] Zikiti, hm... when u try to connect to one of those, immediately after it fails run dmesg and pastebin its output [05:34] So does anyone have an idea? I can see the wireless netwoks but cannot connect to them, also, I don't seem to be able to connect to one that I'm creating [05:34] Leefmc: when you rebooted, was your Ubuntu distro not listed in the boot menu? You shouldn't be choosing UnetBootin again [05:34] ok [05:34] karllenz, or doom3 -h [05:34] mobiGeek: No it was not [05:34] KRaZy_WaKa, so...that was a yea? [05:34] Kaemon12433 and alan_m: Do a whois on random members. Half these guys haven't said anything for 8 hours or more [05:34] karllenz, also try man doom3 [05:34] k [05:34] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=681289 can you help me get Serpentine to convert files to .wav? [05:34] TeslaTony, heh, guess that was my official answer, thanks tony :D [05:35] Leefmc: when you rebooted, did it go straight into windows? [05:35] karllenz, this should give u some info on how to launch doom3 with a specific resolution [05:35] Kaemon12433, thats the answer, hang out :D [05:35] mobiGeek: I only had windows, and unetbootin as options. [05:35] cool i guess [05:35] mobiGeek: No, it showed the boot menu (the two options i mentioned) [05:35] usser,http://paste.ubuntu.com/15719/ [05:35] most freindly chat room i've been in so far [05:35] usser: man doom3 in comand line [05:35] so long as ya stay on-topic with your posts and watch the language, basically common sense stuff [05:35] besides the ZSNES one [05:35] karllenz, yep [05:35] hanbg out kick back drink a longneck i am lol [05:35] well i dont drink [05:35] mobiGeek: Btw thanks for the help, i hope in time i can contribute back.

[05:37] Kaemon12433, yeah #ubuntu-offtopic or..... [05:37] Leefmc: once you've run the installer for ubuntu, you no longer want to run UNetbootin. You want to reboot and tell your machine to boot into Ubuntu. [05:37] amen on that alan_m i'm guilty of straying off-topic on occasion but it spawns from on-topic discussion generally but i'm done now lol [05:37] does no one know? [05:37] lol ;D [05:37] I just am not sure which boot mgr is being used that you need to tell it to boot from the other partition (the Ubuntu one) [05:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=681289 can you help me get Serpentine to convert files to .wav?

[05:42] leefmc: bin? i'm not sure.

[05:43] mobiGeek: I'll try that then [05:44] mobiGeek: Yes but how do you run them :) [05:44] mobiGeek: It tells me i need to assign an application to run it [05:44] sooo... i put in my login/password, and then just brown screen, nothing [05:45] Leefmc: you don't want to downlaod the Linux version of unetbootin, you want to download the windows one as you are running unetbootin from an existing Windows system. [05:45] micoh: Congrats on that... shouldnt be hard to convert any business especially office environments ubuntu comes with complete productivity out of the box, and saves the company money [05:45] mobiGeek: Ok, thanks then :) [05:46] Q: Has anyone had issues with flashplugin-nonfree and sound under Hardy?

[05:49] braniff: the BlackBerry is a very different device than other handhelds when it comes to network access === Naota is now known as Cosmo-san [05:50] mobiGeek: tell me more pls === kwan is now known as kwan|sleep [05:50] viumden, try to run the command as sudo [05:50] viumden, sudo glxinfo see if thats any different [05:50] braniff: so you have a "personal" blackberry (i.e. not tied to an account at your work) ? [05:50] mobiGeek: yes [05:51] hello guys, i just move from sabayon to ubuntu.. sabayon use gentoo so i use emerge.. what would be the emerge of ubuntu? [05:51] braniff: who is your data provider? Verizon? T-Mobile? Rogers? .... [05:51] i mean how do i install programs from terminal? [05:51] usser,I did it and nothing seems changed [05:51] mobiGeek: tmobile [05:51] akatsuki: apt-get [05:51] akatsuki ubuntu is debian based and uses deb packages. Look oneline for apt-get or aptitude [05:51] apt-get [05:51] install? [05:51] yup [05:51] ah speaking of mythbuntu/myth tv, how does it work what kind of channels do you get? does it get the same type channels as cable/satellite companies? or internet tv like miro? [05:51] for example in gentoo.. to search for a program.. we use.. emerge -S [05:52] how can i search before install it? [05:52] hy??? [05:52] braniff: http://freeiphoner.com/blackberry-8300-curve-but-i-cant-stream-musicradio/ [05:52] sudo apt-get install fluxbox [05:52] thats a normal example [05:52] to search for every version of that particular software i want to install [05:52] do i follow the steps here to install canon mp210? http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntulinuxusersgroup/browse_thread/thread/86528f97840ceceb [05:52] braniff: what streaming player do you plan on using? [05:52] on gentoo we use emerge -S (name of program).. on ubuntu what would be? [05:53] akatsuki apt-cache search [05:53] wonder if this will work sim sim salibim !mythbuntu [05:53] you mean search? i usually just try tabcomplete :) [05:53] lol guess not [05:53] mobiGeek: i have berrytunes - works great [05:53] usser,I also did "glxgears",the mark is aroud 667fps,is that normal? [05:53] good [05:54] mobiGeek: the problem is vpn to home network with my blackberry [05:54] any ideas of things to look at to debug why login doesn't work? just goes to a brown screen [05:54] viumden, glxgears is not a benchmark, its impossible to tell if thats normal or not [05:54] braniff: k, just a sec [05:54] viumden, im sorry im lost, dunno what to do, did u try restricted drivers? === brunne1 is now known as brunner [05:54] how do i make ubottu tell me about stuff? and is their a list of stuff i can make ubottu tell me or anyone else needing support for that matter [05:55] wassup nickrud [05:55] KRaZy_WaKa, put "!" in front of a term u want explained [05:55] harriseldon how to remove a program using terminal? [05:55] When I boot, my screen goes black for ages. How do I get it to display what it is doing? Scrolling text is reassuring that something is going on rather than the system has died. I tried changing "# defoptions=quiet splash" to "# defoptions=quiet splash vga=791" in /boot/grub/menu.lst but then it complains "Undefined video mode number: 317" and gives me options to try other modes which also dont work! [05:55] KRaZy_WaKa not a whole heck of a lot [05:55] !bot-snack [05:55] Factoid bot-snack not found [05:55] apt-get remove? [05:55] !snack [05:55] Factoid snack not found [05:55] usser,restricted drivers seems not support the old 7500 for xorg7.3 [05:56] akatsuki yes [05:56] This may be a dumb question, but I'm trying to setup my wireless card to use the b43 module/driver. I have compiled the module, and loaded it via "modprobe b43", but I don't know how to setup the interface. [05:56] braniff: can you not just stream the files through regular HTTP ? [05:56] JonathanEllis: having same problem [05:56] !helpersnack | usser [05:56] i tried to do it with some pizazz courtesy of hadji from johnny quest for mythbuntu and it didnt work lol [05:56] usser: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:56] sim sim saabim !mythbuntu [05:56] viumden, i see, im sorry then. [05:56] :) [05:56] mobiGeek: heh yeah i guess i could [05:57] braniff: assuming a VPN connection is possible, how do you envision getting access to the files? VPN just gives you a secure tunnel, but it doesn't say how you get the files to your device. [05:57] note, you only deserve one, you gotta provide your own :) [05:57] lmfao that thing is ingenius, gott give the creator 10 points for comc relief [05:57] heee [05:57] usser,thank you all the same [05:57] i cant even go root in ubuntu! wth [05:58] how i go root using ubuntu? [05:58] akatsuki: sudo [05:58] its not su? [05:58] mobiGeek: would set up an OSS music streaming server on local net [05:58] sudo -s [05:58] sudo? [05:58] akatsuki, sudo su [05:58] !sudo [05:58] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:58] !mythbuntu | sim sim salabim [05:58] sim sim salabim: Mythbuntu is an Ubuntu derivative centered upon setting up a standalone MythTV system. See: http://www.mythbuntu.org for more information [05:58] braniff: according to the writeup, it seems that you have to have the files on your local SD card (or local memory)....or you can stream a selected number of streaming radio stations. [05:58] sudo -s | enter pass | now you have root term [05:58] braniff: I can't see anything indicating that it can accept streams from an arbitrary server [05:59] thanks [05:59] haha i like it johnny quest and ubottu an entertaining combination [05:59] braniff: it does say "stream and store from a website", but I suspect they really mean "download from a website" [05:59] mobiGeek: can "add station" and put in arbitrary URL to streaming music server [05:59] does anyone try before ubunto on the ps3?? [05:59] how it runs? [05:59] smooth? [05:59] i may do it later [05:59] nope [06:00] never tried [06:00] i will try it later [06:01] braniff: but you still need to let your provider's BIS (BlackBerry Internet Server) get access to your streams. Because the BB device doesn't *really* do network access. It uses a BES or a BIS to get the data and then it uses RIM.NET (which is a different type of network) to transfer the data to your device. [06:01] hey folks, how do I setup ubuntu to play more than one audio at the same time? [06:01] akatsuki: i've looked into it, Sony was actually doing work with YDL Yellow Dog Linux, that was supposed to come with the PS3 [06:02] mobiGeek: doesnt bb now have tcp/ip stack ? or is that just a hack on top of the rest ? [06:02] yes nickrud i know he left this time lol [06:02] braniff: so I'd say put your files under Apache and expose it to the 'net. Then you should be able to stream those. [06:02] ok now my screen is all messed up i type displayconfig-gtk set my settings to my lcd model and the resolution and refresh rate i want hit ok log out and in and my resolution doesnt change [06:03] braniff: the BB device does not really have a TCP stack...at least not the way you and I would think of it. [06:03] mobiGeek: knowing all of what you say... what is the best handheld mobile computing platform that is also a phone ? [06:03] the graphics card tab it says none mm [06:04] braniff: The BB device fires TCP requests to the BIS/BES which in turn uses the MDS (Mobile Data Service, a sub-server to the BIS/BES) to actually fetch the data and hand it back to BIS/BES for communicating to the BB. [06:04] braniff, eeepc [06:04] braniff: the blackberry! :-) [06:05] and I also have some troubles in installing the adobe air application twhirl.everything goes well when I in my first time installing it,but one day i just concidentally delete the /opt directory by fault,so all the files about adobe air and its application lost,but after i reinstall the adobe air I foud the twhirl application just can't be installed.The installer told me that the twhirl install file which I download from the offical site is damaged.I had [06:05] re-download the files many times but the error persists,any one has an idea to solve this problem? [06:05] braniff: it all depends on your requirements. I love the BB because I can do network stuff with it (though there are limitations if you are going through a BIS, the BES has much more functionality). [06:06] braniff: and the BB is an extremely secure device, enforcing secure communications between the BB and the BIS/BES. So anyone sniffing the radio signal gets nothing but noise. That is not the case with Palm, CE, Symbian, etc... [06:06] braniff: so you need to determine what "best handheld computing platform" means. [06:07] mobiGeek: i have liked my blackberry curve so far but i would still like to vpn somehow [06:07] can anyone tell me how to boot my Ubuntu install from the CD ? [06:07] mobiGeek: even though i can stream music using apache like you said [06:07] braniff: the BB is actually a very low-powered device. Palm/CE/etc... are typically much more powerful, more memory, and closer to a "computer"...but that doesn't necessarily make them "better". [06:07] usser, one more time... ican't get net access right now but in my message log all I see is this: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [06:07] f [06:08] I installed it on my computer, then installed another OS (FreeBSD), and now cant boot into Ubuntu. I would rather have lilo if at all possible [06:08] foureyes779 why do you need to boot it from the cd? (what you're trying to accomplish makes a difference here, probably) [06:08] mobiGeek: i'd love a 3G linux phone [06:08] foureyes779 boot up from bsd, and add ubuntu to lilo under bsd maybe? [06:08] braniff: but what is it you are trying to get via "vpn" ? establishing a VPN doesn't give you anything....you still need to access services. What services are you after? [06:09] nickrud: freebsd uses soething called boot0 [06:09] I would rather use lilo though, and want to boot into Ubuntu. can the install CD be used to boot an installed system ? [06:09] usser, as I was saying... "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" is the message I see [06:09] Zikiti, thats not enough...arrg. ok do sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers [06:10] Zikiti, then head on to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download [06:10] @L!nK [06:10] mobiGeek: i think a vpn would generally be more secure than exposing my home network to "the internet" - i have zero internet facing services now. If i exposed apache then i would orders of magnitude more vulnerable to hackers [06:10] sudo apt-get install life [06:10] mobiGeek: Quick Q, which Ubuntu should i be installing for what i described last time, Alternate or Desktop? [06:10] Zikiti, and follow the instructions on that site [06:11] Well thank you for the link but I'll fight witht his anther time... I don't have "Internet" access right now [06:11] Leefmc: desktop [06:11] foureyes779 hm. well, an option to get things up and running under grub is https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows , and http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2005-02/0470.html wil help with lilo (I'd recomend grub, even though I wrote the lilo thing) [06:11] tahnks anyway [06:11] Zikiti, oh ok no problem [06:11] braniff: yes, but what services do you want your BB accessing? [06:11] mobiGeek: Bummer, thats what i did do. I still have no ubuntu option for booting. [06:11] sup, im confussed on summin, all of a sudden i cant use root console, add/remove, synaptics, or anything to do with administration, any ideas someone? [06:11] Where is the xorg.conf file? [06:12] nickrud: tnx [06:12] mobiGeek: Any quick thoughts? Otherwise i'll just have to save it for another day i guess :) [06:12] ]l-0kl- [06:12] Spaise: Using the right password? [06:12] yes [06:12] wont even open console [06:12] *cant [06:12] Leefmc: you went to bed :-) so there's something about configuring the boot manager to allow booting the second partition. I just don't know enough about boot managers to help. [06:12] Spaise: Is the computer plugged in? =P (Just kidding!) [06:12] haha [06:12] :D [06:12] Yachaziel: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:12] legend2440: Thanks! [06:13] mobiGeek: streaming music mainly though there are text documents i need sometimes away from home [06:13] mobiGeek: Infact, i am not even sure if ubuntu was even installed on a separate partition. I have no idea if windows would see this 2nd partition in its manager or not. [06:13] One comment though, on gutsy I didn't have any problems whatsoever... I'm tired of "Upgrading" and getting f*kd. Why can't something that worked before continue to work properly without expert knowledge? [06:13] mobiGeek: Well that was the intention.. but its killing me haha [06:13] Leefmc: one idea woudl be to let the install clobber your entire Windows OS. That is, let Ubuntu install onto the entire drive. [06:13] mobiGeek: Yea but i need the duel [06:13] hi all, about to buy a new system for my primary system. was wondering which graphics card brand is better. i'm currently running ati and know that nvidia were typically better. but recently i hear ati has gone open source or something. i don't play games just basic user [06:13] meh anyone? [06:14] swansk: still here? [06:14] Zikiti, see the thing is gutsy used proprietary ipw3945 driver which was pretty good but it was closed hardy decided that opensource iwl3945 was ready when apparently it wasnt [06:14] helo. I am trying to do an install over pxe. and copied the contents of an 8.04 cd into the /var/www/ubuntu8.04 directory. However after pxe booting a system and pointing the pxe client to the address and path /ubuntu8.04/ it complains that it cannot continue. Any ideas? [06:14] is there a utility to set macros in gnome? [06:14] i have already installed apache as well [06:14] Zikiti, pissed me off to but it was still a right decision u'll get better support for OSS driver on the long run [06:14] braniff: so you are talking about exposing web and files? The BB isn't really all that good at "general computing". It is fantastic email and PIM, and some limited custom applications. [06:15] I hope so [06:15] Leefmc: well, you are in a bit of a pickle. not sure what to say. [06:15] mobiGeek: Thanks for trying :) [06:15] trance_techau then any 1 or 2 year old card ati or nvidia card will do, really. nvidia is claimed to have the best right now, and ati has opened up some. Still waiting on the bennies, imho [06:15] Leefmc: i missed the earlier part [06:16] so i'm not at home right now, but my roomie said my computer is no longer working... i can ssh to it and reboot it, but x11vnc doesn't ever work. i looked at top and kdm is taking 100% of the processor constantly, and my roomie said the monitor shows nothing - like it's off. what happened?!? [06:16] Leefmc: your machine has no CD? [06:16] mobiGeek: Yea [06:16] mobiGeek: maybe i should look at some other platform? i need more power heh - something that runs linux [06:16] mobiGeek: In theory, it all installed fine.. im just confused how to get the duel booting working. [06:16] sup, im confussed on summin, all of a sudden i cant use root console, add/remove, synaptics, or anything to do with administration, any ideas someone? [06:17] braniff: the BB is great if you have a BES. It is quite limited to the native apps when you are stuck with BIS. [06:17] anybody here using a laptop with external monitor get ubuntu to give an extended desktop [06:17] nickrud> yeah i have x600 atm. seems a bit jerky with compiz enabled [06:17] arrrghhh I'd try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [06:17] ok i got my screen backtogether but had to reconfig x...now im unable to start extra graphics [06:17] Leefmc: yep. you might try #linux...they tend to have more die-hard installer dudes hanging out there. [06:17] my card drivers are enabled [06:17] mobiGeek: K thx [06:17] ussr, thanks! i googled for it, and found it in a debian repo. [06:18] hey folks, how do I setup ubuntu to play more than one audio at the same time? [06:18] Leefmc: though you are trying to do somethign few die-hards even want to do: keep a windows dual-bootable [06:18] hi [06:18] Jalathan, what frostwire? [06:18] How do I view my current video drivers? [06:18] i wanted to report that releases.ubuntu.com is offline suddenly... how comes? [06:18] trance_techau yeah, it's useless on my x1100 also. I leave compiz alone on my laptop [06:18] yeah - windows is useless [06:18] braniff: You can say that again! [06:18] Question: Anyone else know? I installed Ubuntu via UNetBootin on a 2nd partition. Went into ubuntu and all was fine, then back into windows to remove UNetBootin as directed. Now however, i can't find/gain access to Ubuntu [06:19] yep so thats why i'm getting a new card this round of upgrades [06:19] Yachaziel: glxinfo [06:19] hence my question [06:19] twas talking about the flash audio issue... <.<;; [06:19] nickrud, i don't understand what happened... but i restarted the kdm like you said, and it's no longer taking 100% cpu but i still can't get into the machine. [06:19] trance_techau I've heard some talk about good xorg.conf options for ati cards, but never looked for them [06:19] Leefmc: installing grub might fix your problems [06:19] Jalathan, oh, right [06:19] np [06:19] Thanks Frogzoo [06:19] braniff: Google "grub"? [06:19] Hello, I'm having some problems with visualization using qemu and kvm-amd. i have modprobed the kvm-amd kernel module but when i run qemu with the option -kernel-kqemu it says that kernel-kqemu is an unknown argument [06:19] Linux might be great or wathever but [06:20] I cant download at all from releases.ubuntu.com [06:20] arrrghhh is X running? ps -A | grep Xorg [06:20] Leefmc: you probably need a linux boot cd with grub-install on it [06:20] Frogzoo: How do I use that command? [06:20] is it common for that site to get off service frequently? [06:20] braniff: No can do, no cd heh [06:20] arrrghhh I better warn you right now, I ssh into machines, but don't forward X over networks, so I won't be able to give you more than really basic assistance [06:20] if i PM someone and they are still online but away from computer. if i log off will they still get pm when they return? [06:21] Leefmc: you have a floppy drive ? [06:21] legend2440: yes [06:21] hi can someone help me with my printer/scaner? i'm trying to use xsane and it says failed to opend device 'hpaio:/par/PSC_500?decive=/dev/parport0':Device busy. this is HP PSC 500 printer/scaner [06:21] Starnestommy: ok ty [06:21] braniff: Laptop, cd is broken, and usbboot is not an option :/ [06:21] How do I edit the the list of apps that launch automatically at bootup [06:21] ? [06:21] nickrud, yea looks like X isn't running. i don't get wth happened. they said they left the room, came back and the monitor was just off. i think i'm just gonna have to wait until tomorrow when i'm home. [06:21] great im out of luck... I needed Ubuntu 7.10 before saturday but from the looks of it I wont before 3 or 4 weeks [06:21] nickrud> HD3870 or 8600GT thats baiscally more shortlist. but ati or nvidia [06:21] Hey when i run a specific theme i get >> dvanc(gtk-chtheme:25436): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine" [06:21] !bum | mhz128 [06:21] mhz128: 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 [06:21] i have murrina installed from source [06:22] Leefmc: can take your laptop hdd out, connect it to a desktop and then install grub on it [06:22] trance_techau never used either.

[06:22] Yachaziel: try instead: grep -i driver /var/log/Xorg.0.log [06:22] mhz128: Hope that helps! =D [06:23] krazy waka: from where? releases.ubuntu.com is dead. totally. [06:23] ahh ive got it. my hostname didnt match in host tab to what my hostname actually is [06:23] one moment [06:23] I had getright downloading it and it died at 98% of the download. [06:23] SomeNick it's not dead, I can see it here [06:23] (it wouldnt be me if it didnt die seconds before completing, ya know) [06:23] does anyone here use VNC [06:24] SomeNick oh, that would suck [06:24] http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [06:24] is that place available? [06:24] nickrud, yea i just rebooted again, and X is not running. [06:24] SomeNick: http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/ Very Fast Mirror, took me 20 or 30 minutes I think tops to dload 8.04 [06:24] I cantuse 8.04 [06:24] SomeNick SomeNick https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors also [06:25] Ok, I am having trouble with my graphics in a certain program - Wine - (but I'm not getting any help there), can anyone help me with this? Here is a layout of my drivers. I know the problem lies with 3D accel. and my drivers, well... I think I know. [06:25] they have 7.10 as well i believe [06:25] my retarded teacher at college (we have something personal against each other) wants Ubuntu 71.0 for the course [06:25] and kdm is taking 100% of my cpu... i really want to know what happened. [06:25] ok I will try that, thanks [06:25] tell him to get it himself? [06:25] lol [06:25] you can order 7.10 on cd [06:25] order a bunch free for the class [06:26] Has edgy reached EOL? [06:26] frenzy: yes but will it get in like... 8 hours? ;-) [06:26] and pass them out [06:26] um [06:26] no [06:26] do they still ship 7.10 cds? [06:26] was downloading at 100Kbps plus for me I live in PA US [06:26] i think so? [06:26] well where are you some nick [06:26] i run 3Meg DSL from Verizon [06:27] that should give you an idea of how long it will take for you to get from that mirror [06:27] somenick: where are you at? [06:27] When searching for files using 'locate file.txt' how come I am not shown any results? I just get returned to the prompt [06:28] my hp pavillion used to be able to control both the volume of the speakers and the volume of headphones with the buttons on the keyboard....now it only controls the volume of the speakers and doesnt affect the headphones....I dont believe I did anything to change this....any odeas why? [06:28] well at least it is downloading now [06:28] Housefly: did you upgrade or anything? [06:28] had to start over from 0% oh well [06:28] Hi, New here and not too familiar with linux. (ubuntu 7.1) I have probs updating. Can somebody pls. help? [06:28] at 256 Kbps should be ready by tomorrow [06:28] mhz128, do sudo updatedb [06:28] mhz128 the locate db only gets rebuilt once a day, you can run sudo updatedb to update it manually [06:29] frenzy42: nope, this is still hardy [06:29] SomeNicl: you should have it within the hour [06:29] is there a voice that says "system fail" with ubuntu? i don't get wth happened... i'm really freakin out. [06:29] If somenick was in the SF bay area, i would have him come to my place and pick up the cd LOL! [06:29] it still doesn't look like X is running, and kdm is taking 100% cpu. [06:29] *SomeNick even [06:29] Krazy_Waka: Not so early, my connection is slow.

[06:32] frenzy42: i even changed the device to pulse audio...now the volume control in the panel controls both...maybe I should restart to see if that was it [06:33] i can honestly say the fastest i've had anything dload was HArdy from that mirror. between 100K and 300K [06:33] Housefly: try it, maybe? [06:33] ok :) not used to this chat. I have a prob installing updates. Get this msg. darn, it won't paste... brb.

[06:34] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [06:34] Does anybody have a suggestion for a videoconferencing program that works with iChat? I really do not want to install skype [06:34] does this Ubuntu really take 320 MB RAM to work? [06:35] ok britta open a terminal [06:35] cab anyone help me with my scanner? [06:35] nickrud: lol i think that may have been my next mirror to try, but once i caught the CSS server (which is a computer science school) i settled for Ubuntu upgrade in half an hour lol was fast enough for me [06:35] then type "dpkg --configure -a" [06:35] thanks. terminal opened. [06:35] KRaZy_WaKa I take it back, it looks like it's throttling now. Bummer. [06:35] that should fix it [06:35] hi [06:35] this place is great, I will come here again when I have Ubuntu questions after installation === neo_ is now known as newbieatubuntu [06:36] 384 minimum to run the LIVE CD, being as how it's an OS running from your CD-Rom it buffers to RAM a lot! [06:36] Hello everyone, can you help me get my antialiasing working in Ubuntu i have nvidia 8500 gt [06:36] hello, what came after breezy ? [06:36] I planned to install it to a 128 MB RAM computer.... [06:36] SomeNick that's a bare minimum, I finally replaced my 512mb max machine a year ago [06:36] once its installed to physical drive it blows Windoze out of the water [06:36] well I will put it here [06:36] SomeNick, I used Ubuntu with 320MB RAM for ~2 years. not too much can be done without touching the swap, but it works better than XP [06:36] but this comp isnt mine [06:36] i have problem with my scanner, can anyone help? [06:37] I rn XP on the 128 RAM machine [06:37] says requested operation requires superuser priviledge [06:37] tis better to run XFCE (Xubuntu) or Fluxbox (Fluxbuntu) [06:37] so maybe Ubuntu would run too? [06:37] SomeNick: you may want to grab the alternate installer [06:37] on those specs though [06:37] hello, what came after breezy ? [06:37] I used to ride single speed bikes uphill [06:37] ygg: what is "Dapper Drake" [06:37] somenick im curretly runnign it on a box with no keyboard mouse and 128 mb [06:37] alternate. [06:37] how about if I run Ubuntu in VMWare? [06:37] steibuns ok thanks [06:37] oh hell Ubuntu will run like a champ on 128MB once installed to the physical Hard Drive [06:37] britta: did that work? [06:38] (this comp has 2 GB but isnt mine - cant really fumble much with partitions and such) [06:38] * nickrud thinks he's finally understood KRaZy_WaKa 's nick [06:38] no. says requires superuser priviledges, which I should have... [06:38] hi guys, anyone know how to scan? [06:38] it's the live CD that's the RAM monger lol [06:38] !xane [06:38] Factoid xane not found [06:38] Krazy_Waka oh kool [06:38] !xsane [06:38] Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE).

[06:38] jala: it doesn't work [06:38] absolutely not [06:38] try sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:38] says error, device busy [06:38] hrm [06:38] britta you have to actively take superuser privs each time you need them, you're the admin but you're running in a normal user account [06:38] lol i only say that from experience [06:39] ok [06:39] How do you pause the directory listing per page? Using the command ls ? [06:39] superuser is not automatic in linux, you have to ask everytime [06:39] nicely [06:39] I assume you have more experience than me, in quite new to Linux overall [06:39] qui parle francais? [06:39] hmm, ok :) think perhaps i better go to a slower channel. [06:39] i had 256 in this HP klunker couldnt do it, had to upgrade [06:39] example: http://xkcd.com/149/ [06:39] hello my friends.. does anyone know when i boot from ubuntu cd not hd.. which ip is taking the cd to work on the web? a random one ? or my computer ip?

[06:40] IMHO Linux kicks the donkey crap out of windoze [06:40] before your command [06:40] I had Ubuntu 7.04 on a Pentium 4 which suddenly got destroyed in a flood that wipe out my little apartment pretty much..... sucked... :-( [06:40] tonewhy, sry, I don't have too much experience in scanning under linux... you might try over at #sane [06:40] britta but of course ;))) [06:40] ok nick [06:40] thanks [06:40] jala: ok thnc [06:40] nickrud how so on the understanding of the nick? lol [06:40] np [06:41] he he, there are not so many users. haven't been in ages. [06:41] KRaZy_WaKa crazy to run ubuntu in 128mb, that must be excruciating [06:41] try xubuntu Krazy [06:41] britta you see bullgard4 there? [06:41] i think the old machine can be upped to 512 [06:41] but wont be done overnight [06:41] under applications? [06:41] I get xubuntu to run on the trashiest of computers [06:42] britta nm, you said dk, I was thinking de [06:42] xubuntu? [06:42] i ran it on 384 on my old machine but never really got into it was still hesitant to complete the transition, it kinda just sat and collected dust i played some of the gnome games lol [06:42] yes. dk. Denmark [06:42] but does xubuntu still have all the stuff of other ubuntu linux? [06:42] i don't see anything wrong, other than the Xserver couldn't start [06:42] britta I claim slow americanitis. (I live in LA, so the international stuff eventually sinks in ;) [06:42] anyone to give me a hand with this wireless issue? [06:42] yup same stuff different desktop environment [06:42] well same stuff for the most part [06:42] same repo's too [06:43] ok mite grab a copy of that [06:43] most of it [06:43] i heart xubuntu [06:43] :) well, it's bright and early here. too eárly for me to have my wits about me... [06:43] if xubuntu doesn't work i use DSL or puppy linux [06:43] i personally didnt like Xubuntu [06:43] but then maybe it still is in 5 hours ;) [06:43] try some other small distros [06:43] Who in thsi chatroom is the tech support? [06:43] is it possible to find old packages from some archive site? i need the 2.6.24-12 kernel for hardy [06:43] elpargo: ndiswrapper using bcmwl5.inf worked here bcm94311 (rev02) [06:43] need Ubuntu 7.10 sorry cant do with anything else [06:43] I need help dude [06:44] absolutely required at college. [06:44] newbieatubuntu whoever understands your problem, after you describe it [06:44] currently i can only find 16 and 17 [06:44] you can get a limted computer to run pretty well under the right OS [06:44] newbie anyone and everyone [06:44] nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d37aade0f [06:44] !ask newbieatubuntu [06:44] KRaZy_WaKa: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [06:44] I want to install the latest nvidia drivers that were posted 3 days ago from nvidia [06:44] I guess I'll run it under a virtual machine like VMWare [06:44] this machine has 2 GB of RAM [06:44] how do id o that [06:44] but isnt mine [06:44] stupid bot lol [06:44] KRaZy_WaKa theres a fluxbuntu iirc [06:44] arrrghhh and what was in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? [06:44] newbie: download a program called "Envy" [06:44] bullguard4, don't seem to have it. should I install? what is it anyway? [06:45] just google it [06:45] frenzy42 envy-gtk is in the repos now [06:45] Oh [06:45] ok :) [06:45] thanx all but I'm good running Ubuntu Hardy on an HP with 512MB RAM currently [06:45] britta a person :) [06:45] what does that mean [06:45] envy gtk? [06:46] I want the new nvidia driver though [06:46] envyng [06:46] sudo apt-get install envy [06:46] in a terminal [06:46] i think if i update to the news nvidia drivers it will fix my compiz problems [06:46] what compiz problems are you having? [06:46] antialiasing isnt workn [06:46] newbieatubuntu install envyng-gtk , and run it. It's designed to install the latest drivers from nvidia. I heartily don't recommend it however [06:46] !envyng | newbieatubuntu [06:46] newbieatubuntu: envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package. It is now part of the ubuntu universe repository (envyng-gtk OR envyng-qt) and has community support. As an early version, its results may vary but this should be used over the unsupported envy package. [06:46] nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d344f7c2 - sorry i just pasted the whole file, i don't know what is important there... [06:46] SomeNick: borrow some RAM from a friend's computer? or see if you can find somebody in school with RAM for your PC and give them something in exchange? that is the spirit of Ubuntu after all :D [06:47] oh that's nice they finally fixed the crappy envy. [06:47] ok, av sw. reply had nothing to do with me then... geez will have to update reading and typing skills... [06:47] please be all means use the new version it HAS to be better [06:47] hi, i have kubuntu 8.04 on a cd .... is it possible to switch to GNOME after it install the OS ? [06:47] newbieatubuntu: my recommendation is to stick with the free/open source drivers [06:47] mib_m7euumzq, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [06:47] when i play dvds, there are all these artifacts in mplayer, whats the best player to use in ubuntu? [06:48] sorry if you already replied. how do I get superuser rights? [06:48] VLC best player ever [06:48] locohost: vlc [06:48] or, is there a better plugin to use? i have totem-xine [06:48] mib_m7euumzq, actually use aptitude instead of apt-get. it'll make it a lot easier if you want to go back :P [06:48] and vlc installed [06:48] nvidia here wouldn't work trying to use hardware-drivers,envyng built it fine [06:48] there a plugin i need for vlc? [06:48] ok, thatnks [06:48] mib_m7euumzq: what arrrghhh said [06:48] britta: go private chat [06:48] thanks [06:48] no locohost [06:48] arrrghhh the critical thing is the last 2 lines in that file. I'm googling it but not seeing a fix [06:48] argghh :) how? [06:48] locohost: I think you don't know what you are talking about [06:48] heh [06:48] VLC on Ubuntu or Windows [06:48] Right now I have Nvidida installed [06:49] aptitude is something new in ubuntu 8.04? [06:49] mib_m7euumzq, oh no. [06:49] locohost: you don't like mplayer because it "doesn't" plays stuff, or the interface? [06:49] Nvidia X server settigns is in my administration manu...... however.......... the antialiasing isn't being loaded [06:49] i thought maybe the new drivers would fix this problem [06:49] hadnt heard of it uptil now [06:49] hehe [06:49] i said there were artifacts [06:49] newbie: what is your video card ram? [06:49] 8500 gt 512 [06:50] Hi all! I'm trying to upgrade Edgy to Heron with update-manager, but it's crashing early in the upgrade process and complains that it can't find the repos [06:50] locohost: like your video is pixelated? [06:50] locohost: what do you mean by that [06:50] Is there a way around this? [06:50] as in...different color shapes in the video that move [06:50] newbieatubuntu, i have the same card.... i think it sucks [06:50] its not 8800 [06:50] but its alright [06:50] locohost: are you sure it's not the video file? [06:50] no, using a dvd, tried several [06:50] skillet how did u get antialiasing working [06:50] non even a burned dvd, from factor [06:50] mib_m7euumzq, there's a lot of arguments over which is better. frankly, i don't know why there aren't any graphical front-ends for it. the main difference from apt-get is it actually removes all the crap that is installed when you install something with aptitude. if you install it with apt-get, and try to remove it with apt-get, not everything will get removed that was installed. [06:50] arrrghhh check to make sure you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf , move it out of the way and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg . Everything I've seen on the net says something about the xorg config, so.... [06:51] it just worked for me [06:51] reservour dogs, actually :) [06:51] locohost: actually a "profesional" dvd is worse than a burned one in this case. [06:51] nickrud, k i'll try that. kdm is still takin 100% cpu... i don't get what happened. [06:51] robotic: back up your personal files, and perform a clean install [06:51] robotic: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list change all edgy's to hardy's and cross your fingers [06:51] skillet does antialiasing smooth out the edges of ur compiz fusion box [06:51] KRaZy_WaKa: that's so windows.... why not solve the problem? [06:51] arrrghhh: ok, thanks, that was new for me :) [06:51] arrrghhh well, you can use apt-get autoremove . On the kdm, it's cuz of the X failure most likely [06:51] newbieatubuntu, i would tell you but im not on that computer right now [06:52] sorry [06:52] so the command would be like .. sudo aptitude install ??? [06:52] mib_m7euumzq, google aptitude. and nickrud it was my understanding apt-get still doesn't get all the dependencies & aptitude is much better at that. [06:52] robotic: a jump from edgy to hardy is pretty unlikely afaik [06:52] mib_m7euumzq, yessir [06:52] locohost: take a look at the ugly plugins, now beware some of those are actually illegal in some places. [06:52] wokay, thanks [06:52] elpargo: because that is the solution I offered i don't know of another if you do feel free to suggest it to robotic [06:52] how much harddrive space do i need to compile the latest kernel? [06:52] arrrghhh better, probably. I only use aptitude myself [06:53] After updating the kernel on my gateway, my system has seemed to stop running the ppp up directory scripts. [06:53] skillet: is there a way of permanently running the command nvidia-settings -l before compiz loads on the computer? [06:53] however my reasearch says just one release at a time or do a complete reinstall so like Rat409 said [06:53] nickrud, why doesn't synaptic or adept use it as a front-end? is it that new, or is apt-get that old? i don't get it. [06:53] I read online I have to load that command before i load compiz [06:53] arrrghhh and synaptic is essentially a front end of aptitude [06:53] im guessing that doesnt use libsexy [06:53] bu da bump tss [06:53] KRaZy_WaKa: I wasn't around to read the question but, reinstall should never be the answer. [06:53] nickrud, it was my understanding synaptic was a front-end for apt-get NOT aptitude... [06:54] arrrghhh at least, it uses a lot of the same routines. If you look at the filters and such in synaptic, you'll be amazed at how they mirror aptitudes [06:54] Anybody know.......... IF is there a way of permanently running the command nvidia-settings -l before compiz loads on the computer? [06:54] locohost@princess-alena:~$ dpkg -l|grep ugly [06:54] ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.7-3 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set [06:54] already got it, i guess [06:54] newbieatubuntu, im sure there is [06:54] apt-get and aptitude are command line (terminal) commands and they are hellafast compared to synaptic [06:54] arrrghhh apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, adept are all front ends to apt [06:54] arrrghhh: they are all the some thing. [06:54] newbieatubuntu, maybe rc.local? [06:54] thanks guys. I'm actually trying to go edgy->feisty->gutsy->heron, so maybe that'll have better luck? [06:54] well yea [06:54] i dont even know what rc.local means i need instructions lol [06:54] im a windows user [06:54] remember dselect? [06:54] nickrud, well i think i completely broke mah comp. i can't get to my webserver or ssh after reboot. [06:54] heh [06:55] hello [06:55] Hello. I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.04 LTS recently. When I try to print something from evince now I get a greyed out menu entry "Print ...". Any idea why? [06:55] locohost: that's gsteamer ugly which is used by totem, is your mplayer using gstreamer? did you try the video in totem? [06:55] you can put stuff in /etc/rc.local to run on boot [06:55] arrrghhh, what did you do before your reboot? [06:55] arrrghhh ouch [06:55] elpargo: i am relatively new to ubuntu, and as i understand it this is an open support channel, people ask questions other people make suggestions [06:56] totem says an error occured, location not found [06:56] skillet, dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg. then reboot. nothin else. [06:56] arrrghhh, nothing network related? [06:56] KRaZy_WaKa: agreed but you should give good suggestions [06:56] In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution [06:56] # bits. [06:56] how do i do that? [06:56] usser,thank you for you help,I changed "radeon" to "ati" and it finally works!but I hava a question that why "sudo glxinfo | grep rendering" results a yes while without "sudo" it still gives a no? [06:56] skillet, nope. i'm wondering if it's running fsck or something... [06:56] elpargo: gramnted reinstall is maybe a cheesey "windows" fix, but it beats the hell out of upgrade through 4 releases [06:56] any download manager for ubun tu? [06:56] hi to all [06:56] hi im new in ubuntu have problem w/ my video card is a nv geforce 9 cant find software for it any buddy have a hint for me? [06:56] IMHO [06:56] newbieatubuntu sudo chmod +x
