[00:00] HymnToLife: but how do I go about doing the install without the bootable cd? [00:00] DeepThought: nope.. [00:00] m-c: then, when the installer of the distro asks you where you want to install GRUB, install it on the partiton _NOT_ the MBR [00:00] Xecuter_: in konqueror [00:00] HymnToLife: nm me ... FF2 & FF3 don't share a common plugins dir [00:00] Xecuter; Should be "device.map" not devices.map I think... [00:00] Xecuter_: should really be there; lemme check [00:00] hi [00:00] HymnToLife: ah... so I should be able to run the installer within ubuntu ? [00:00] anyone have issues with the virtual terminals (CTRL+ALT+F1)??? When I switch to terminal one it's just a black screen... CTRL+ALT+F7 works to get back to the GUI though [00:00] m-c: not all distros support installing that way [00:00] whats upp dawggg [00:00] hmm, i'm trying to load guild wars and i hear the music but no game screem pops up [00:00] wtf [00:01] actually, only Gentoo supports it officially, IIRC [00:01] Xecuter_: sorry; is device.map [00:01] DeepThought: yea, but its still not there [00:01] hhaha this is ponys daughter [00:01] Xecuter_: veery strange; anyone have a clue ? [00:01] Woot. Fixed. Thanks! [00:01] i dont know what u guys are talking aobut [00:01] HymnToLife: any experience installing debian ? [00:01] DeepThought: its the arch boot if that makes a difference [00:02] Xecuter_: as far as I know it should always be there; but maybe you have to make it if not there.. Ehhh the arch boot ? what do you mean ? [00:02] hmm, i'm trying to load guild wars and i hear the music but no game screem pops up, any ideas? [00:02] Is there a specific IRC channel for support for Ubuntu running on Mactels? [00:02] Hello all... I seem to have a problem with getting firestarter to autostart after reboot... I changed the sudoer's file to include ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/firestarter, while in sessions putting in sudo firestarter --start-hidden - but it doesn't work... can anyone help me? [00:02] m-c: not without a CD [00:03] DeepThought: i mean the boot dir that comes with arch linux [00:03] shoult be doable, though [00:03] Xecuter_: Just a thought, but have considered just simply reinstalling Grub? You could save a copy of your menu.lst in case you need it. [00:03] Hey, I've been trying to install ubuntu for months. After the kernal loads, it sits on a black booting screen with a loading cursor. Anyone help me? [00:03] okay thanks for your advice HymnToLife - I will ask around in the debian channels [00:03] Xecuter_: oohhh.. that could be different, of course. But it' s still grub ? or maybe LILO ? [00:03] Dasmoover: would try the Alternate CD, if I were you [00:03] I got the 8.04 [00:04] it did the same thing [00:04] !alternate [00:04] The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [00:04] make sure no problems with XD [00:04] mine worked just fine [00:04] STSX: thats what i'm trying to do! [00:04] and when i booted the live cd for 8.04 it stalls on a mango colored screen [00:04] Where's ubottu bot ? Or maybe I should use ubot3 ? [00:04] DeepThought: yes its grub [00:04] ahh that happened to me too before [00:04] i just made another one [00:04] and that one worked fine [00:05] my problem can be fixed with alternate cd? [00:05] it might be [00:05] worth a try [00:05] i've heard something about my chipset and noacpci [00:05] Xecuter_: well, let me paste my device.map; you can try to use that after tweaking it to your situation ? [00:06] DeepThought: hm okey === cyclonut is now known as cyclout [00:06] afallenhope: I had that problem with gutsy; not in hardy however, it's ok now [00:06] Xecuter_: Why not then do a "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"? [00:07] hi can somebody help me please i have problems using my asus dvd ram in ubuntu 8.04 [00:07] STSX: 'Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.' [00:07] mythomaniac: Can you run firestarter from the command line OK with sudo? [00:07] STSX: yes [00:08] Xecuter_: http://pastebin.com/m5125e888 [00:08] Marcus Intalex is nice dnb :) [00:08] DeepThought: how'd you fix it [00:08] yes i know thx [00:08] Xecuter_: Did you make sure you used the right device? I just put sda in as an example. [00:08] lol [00:08] Xecuter_: note how the order is topsy turveed; it was made just a-b-c-d bu grub; wich was wrong [00:08] STSX: yes, its sda1 [00:08] i just upgraded to the new release, but my resolution is now limited to 800x600. i suspect i need to reconfigure my display. how can i do that? [00:09] Xecuter_: OK, but the actual command needs "sda" then, not "sda1"--did you use sda? [00:09] afallenhope: I didn' t , I installed hardy before It bugged me so much I wanted to fix it... ;-) [00:09] STSX: even the firestarter website states to do as i did, but it wont autostart? [00:09] DeepThought: just paste that into /boot/grub/device.map, and fix it for me of course [00:09] STSX: yes, i get the same === orphean_ is now known as orphean [00:10] Xecuter_: what do you mean ? === traxen is now known as traxens [00:10] DeepThought: i just make the /boot/grub/device.map like that? for me that is... [00:10] goldbond: you tried system-preferences-screen resolution? [00:10] Trouble installing a driver. says kernel ver of GCC does not match gcc-3.4 .... for more detailed information please see http://paste.ubuntu.com/16081/ [00:11] langleyo, yes. the max is 800x600. [00:11] Xecuter_: oh, yes; just make new textfile in boot/grub (remember to open the folder as root) and ppaste the map, change the numbers and number of disks for you sys [00:11] mythomaniac: Does firestarter need sudo or gksudo? I'm not familiar with it, so is it a command run in the terminal or a GUI application? [00:11] goldbond: kk...sorry...just checking [00:12] Xecuter_: There' s a prog that can show what he number of disks is right now, also a command in grub, but i' m sorry I forgot... [00:12] STSX: gksudo is for graphical programs [00:12] arg can't work this out. I don't run auto-updates on my machine (to avoid this problem) - mysql at some point in the last ~8 hours has stopped and now won't restart === Karter_ is now known as karter [00:12] STSX: sudo worked fine in the command line, never tried gksu... [00:12] the /var/log/mysql.err log is empty [00:13] mshanks: what happens when you try to restart it? [00:13] trying to start it (sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start) just returns fail [00:13] Xecuter_: anyway you cabn find out what it is at boot by editing the start-line in menu each time; if it boots, that' s the right number etc etc [00:13] Starnestommy: I know, that's exactly why I'm asking him whether it is GUI or not... [00:13] mythomaniac: OK so in sessions you are putting "sudo firestarter"? [00:14] DeepThought: yeah that i know, but i have to get grub running first :P [00:14] STSX: yes "sudo firestarter --start-hidden" [00:14] mythomaniac: And that exact command runs OK in a terminal? [00:15] Xecuter_: of course... Also very useful can be qgrubeditor, when you get it on; is in synaptic; startup manager is great too, is sort of the same, though different [00:15] STSX: let me see and i'll report back... [00:15] Xecuter_: and of course: [00:15] Xecuter_: | !grub [00:15] STSX: yes "sudo firestarter --start-hidden" does indeed work through the command line... [00:15] Starnestommy; any thoughts? [00:16] !grub [00:16] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[00:17] STSX: let me restart my system again, i just copied and pasted the sudoer line from the firestarter site and see if that was the problem, that i typed it wrong...

If you unplug without unmounting, it won't automount again [00:40] AcornAcorn: GNOE-VOLUME-CONTROL [00:40] erm [00:40] gnome-volume control [00:40] acornacorn-you can add a volume control option to your panel [00:40] tj83: I was sure emerald --replace would work for you [00:40] gnome-volume-control ... [00:40] Terabyte: open nautilus then edit>preferences>media [00:40] right click on the panel add to panel volume control [00:40] Kakura you should make avaliable more resolutions at dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, just don't change the settings of your mouse [00:41] legend2440, flannel, mdemocritus, limcore, tucana, jalathan, thanks I will try that. [00:41] Flannel: I think the %d is deprecated, I think it's %f now... [00:41] well i did compiz --replace and then emerald --replace again and now the top bar is back... whew! [00:41] Terabyte: see what STSX said [00:41] worked like a charm, :) [00:41] Kakura: *keyboard [00:41] tinin: unless I'm doing something wrong, I have done that 5 times, and it just did keyboard settings, then closed out [00:41] Flannel: it does automatically recognize that "something is mounted" but ..hmm maybe i should msg you with the output. [00:41] tj83: you do not need to do compiz. [00:41] usser: thanks thats what I was looking for [00:41] went to preferences, removable, multimedia, changed dvd entry to "vcl %d" [00:41] xenos: And an icon doesn't show up on the desktop? [00:42] so thanks flannel ^_ [00:42] I am having a few issues with my update manager and my add/remove progs [00:42] when I attempt to add something it hangs, and when i try to install anything it just hangs. [00:42] What to do? [00:42] Terabyte: I believe it's supposed to be %f instead of %d [00:42] tj83: it was compiz that was giving me trouble, with emerald it works perfectly. I think it's cuz compiz doesn't have the correct windows decorations installed [00:42] PCcertified.. all seems well again but going to do a reboot just to see if its going to restart x with the same condidions... and i have to get rid of this purple color! [00:43] gosmack: Does it give you an error or anything? Lets try and upgrade, see if those packages have upgrades that may fix it. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:43] just do ctrl-alt-backspace to reload your desktoppppppppp [00:43] Kakura try with a graphical program, I use kde and it is easy to configure the screen [00:43] conditions* [00:43] tinin: how I do that? [00:43] Flannel "A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error. name "(uset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") [00:44] I have a bit of a challenge. I have an old computer that I would like to put ubuntu on. It's a computer with no cd burner. It's a PPC computer. It has no internet, and no usb. I have another computer that can connect to it using ethernet that has internet, but a broken cd drive. It does have usb. The target computer currently runs Mac OS X 9.2.2. The other computer runs Mac OS X 10.4.11. Is there a way to put ubuntu on it? [00:44] yeah it doesn't give me an error at all [00:44] stsx, I have just tried it with %f (out of idle curiosity) it opens vlc, but does not play the file. %d works fine though. [00:45] Kakura you can try krandrtray, for example [00:45] tinin: how do I get to it is what I mean [00:45] is there an ipod management took for ubuntu [00:45] Terabyte: OK, I'll have to check my references and see why mine say to use %f instead. Thanks for the feedback. [00:45] Chapai: a few [00:45] yes hippo ipod management [00:45] Hey, if anyone here runs World of Warcraft in Wine, I'd love some help with this Mouse problem I've been having since I installed Ubuntu 8.04. It's been going on since release. The problem is this: When I press both buttons I get a "null" dragging motion. On windows (and the way it used to be on Ubuntu 7.04) when I press both buttons then engage at the same time. [00:46] err "the buttons engage at the same time" [00:46] Flannel: Hey thanks! That worked out pretty well. It's downloading all my updates and it's hopefully going to work out. [00:46] is hippo in repo brody [00:46] if I have compiz and emerald working in kubuntu, what would I need to install to make it work on the gnome side? [00:46] yes [00:46] can someone help me with a grub issue? Cannot get grub to chainload into windows [00:46] what package should i install to get /usr/bin/php? (better, how can i know what package i should install to get a particular file?) [00:46] cellofellow, which is better [00:46] php5 is not the one [00:46] google [00:46] Kakura search for some graphical configuration program for xog.com [00:46] kkathman, compiz-gnome [00:46] you can go to applications add/remove hippo ipod manager [00:47] Chapai: no idea, I have a SanDisk Sansa. [00:47] QueRicoMate, thank you :) [00:47] ok [00:47] hmm, i'm trying to load guild wars and i hear the music but no game screem pops up, any ideas? [00:47] kkathman, no problem man!!! [00:47] *xorg.conf Kakura [00:47] isn't there an option in apt or something? [00:47] nico8481-> perhaps you can man dpkg its one of the options for this [00:47] nico8481: its almost easier to do install LAMPs from source [00:47] QueRicoMate, will ccsm work ok once I get compiz-gnome installed ? [00:48] Chubbz, well actually i only need php to run a script i don't plan to install a webserver [00:48] kkathman, it should work fine... install that and tell me if u have some problem [00:48] i see [00:48] nico8481-> something like dpkg -S path/to/file [00:48] QueRicoMate, ok kewl [00:49] amenado, something like that, but that's only for installed packages :-( [00:49] I give up, installing wecams in ubuntu requires an engineering degree. === cirkit_ is now known as cirkit|lappy [00:49] tinin: you know of any? [00:50] PCcertified Not really, it just requires you look at a list and buy supported hardware [00:50] * cha0s takes away PCcertified;s certification [00:50] clear [00:50] Jack_Sparrow: my cam is supported [00:50] Kakura, no, only kde things [00:50] oops... >< [00:50] it does PC [00:50] w00t for me [00:50] =D [00:50] nico8481-> yes off course, you dont expect to find something that has not been installed yet do you? [00:50] I don't suppose anyone knows why Skype crashes whenever I delete any folders beginning with 's' in my home directory? They're only temporary folders which I'm setting up deliberately; there aren't even any files in them. [00:50] PCcertified There is supported and a cam that one person has managed to get going on their system.. [00:51] QueRicoMate, hmm execute compiz --replace - doesnt seem to have done anything - still looks like Im on the old metacity :( [00:51] i have a similar question to Terabytes only about Hardy. when i open nautilus and go to preferences>media>DVD Video it is set to Open Monvie Player which i think is Totem. How would i change default player to mplayer or vlc. the drop down box only offers Ask what to do or do nothing or open file. how do you change it? [00:51] my apologies for my daughters disruption in the channel earlier. [00:51] PCcertified I bought the cheapest generic can in the store.. $9 and it works with skype and everything else [00:51] legend2440: right-click, properties, open with. [00:52] i like mine logitech QCC STX [00:52] works fine for me [00:52] can some one help me iwht a complex grub issue? [00:52] DanielRM: its a dvd right click what ? the icon on the desktop? [00:53] Jack_Sparrow: I have 2 cams and one of them is a quickcam home. the easycam app on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam#head-ba7a5e02f2e8a08c8f04c463f05c792c7bc407be identified it a supported cam but fails to install the driver [00:53] Oh, a DVD. Sorry. In that case go into the DVD video directory and do the same on either the .ifo file or a .vob file. [00:53] legend2440: Oh, a DVD. Sorry. In that case go into the DVD video directory and do the same on either the .ifo file or a .vob file.* [00:53] amenado, nevermind [00:54] legend2440 i did it in hardy a few hours ago, i'm sure it allowed you to specify a command, in which case the command is vlc %f or %d (%d in 704 works for me) [00:54] QueRicoMate, ahh never mind - had to reset the ccsm stuff - I thought it would use the settings I set in kubuntu [00:54] kkathman, but u got it workin? [00:54] QueRicoMate, yep [00:54] kkathman, cool [00:54] PCcertified For starters anything that starts with debian unstable main brings up questions.. [00:55] any word on the 8.04 fix for the graphics cards? [00:55] anyone know of a decent divx/xvid codec for ubuntu [00:55] Jack_Sparrow: I agree but what can I do, throw out 2 cams and buy another one? [00:56] did you make sure the webcams were verified as compatible in linux? [00:56] anyone put ubuntu on a newer gateway laptop? [00:56] PCcertified If using a cam is a big deal for you.. yes.. sell them to a windows user === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [00:57] Jack_Sparrow: yes it is a big deal to me, and I suppose you're right... [00:58] PCcertified.... weird... when i edit the them in emerald manager... it doesnt stick after reboot [00:59] PCcertified Did you read that page where it shows a list of supported cams.. and is your cam in that list? [00:59] Hi. [00:59] Jack_Sparrow do you know how to make vlc the default media / audio player ? [00:59] How can I create a databse in Mysql? [00:59] / [00:59] PCcertified It looks to me that easycam is the name of the software package not necessarilly the name of a specific brand of webcam [00:59] Sergeant_Pony: Preferences>Preferred applications [00:59] any word on the 8.04 fix for the graphics cards? [01:00] @Rainmaker: can you get to the mysql shell? [01:00] RainMaker-> please visit #mysql [01:00] k [01:00] Sergeant_Pony system..pref..preferd apps [01:00] any word on the 8.04 fix for the graphics cards, restriced drivers [01:00] I need to get white text on a transparent panel, anyone have any tips? [01:00] evilgnome it's not listed under preferred apps [01:00] Sergeant_Pony: write it in [01:00] boo_gy, it depends on the gtk theme... and there s a gnome color chooser ive never tried but that can do that [01:00] Jack_Sparrow: thats correct... it is an app to install one of may brands of cam [01:01] Chubbz what do you mean? [01:01] Sergeant_Pony: also, you can right click on files of the type you want vlc to be associated with, and make vlc the default open-with item [01:01] type mysql ina terminal window [01:01] evelgnome ok cool and thanks [01:01] Okay, I need something other than Brasero to burn this DVD... [01:01] PCcertified And is your cam in the list of Easycam supported webcams [01:02] Hmm... gnome color chooser, I'll look into that. Thanks [01:02] Hello everyone. I recently updated everything, including the kernel, and I think I need to update some audio things because it's all silent here now. any tips? please? [01:02] anyone know a fix for the Nvidia Drivers for 8.04 release? Hardware drivers, and ENVY does not fix the startup in "Low graphics mode" [01:02] PCcertified Sorry if I seem argumentative.. I do not mean to sound that way.... Just trying to cut to the root of the problem and ease your pain.. [01:03] PCcertified It will only hurt for a minute.. then we can move on [01:03] evilgnome: what kind of sound card do you have? [01:03] Thingus: *sigh* this is irritating. I'm afraid that I can't help you on this, as the configuration files for Brasero are nonexistent from what I can tell... -_- [01:03] cmdrpinksock envy from the web or envyng from the repos.. there is a difference [01:03] Jack: Tried both, niether work [01:03] Thingus: do you have any of the kde libraries installed? [01:03] cmdrpinksock ca0106 [01:04] Jalathan, No. [01:04] cmdrpinksock which video card [01:04] is the desktop download for ubuntu the same as the laptop download? [01:04] Can anyone help me in adding my user name to the admin group in the sudoer's file? [01:04] evil: did you upgrade from 7.1 to 8.04? [01:04] Jalathan, But, I'm installing K3b anyway. [01:04] cmdrpinksock and if you tried the one from the web first, that could have added to the problem [01:04] notv it was for me [01:04] Jack: 8600m-GT [01:04] notv: er... there should be no "Laptop" Download [01:04] mythomaniac: Do you use GUI or CLI? [01:05] notv I downloaded the desktop version and it works fine on my laptop [01:05] Jack: I know, but I uninstalled the re installed first [01:05] Df_Yz: lets do it from within visudo? [01:05] cmdrpinksock: nope, just a full-upgrade from maybe two weeks ago [01:05] mythomaniac: Hm... :) [01:05] Thingus: you preemptively answered my question.. :) [01:05] evil: software or hardware? [01:05] sorry im a noob [01:05] n/p [01:05] cmdrpinksock: just sudo aptitude full-upgrade [01:05] notv: "Desktop" Edition is for regular (non-server) computers [01:06] cmdrpinksock the 8000's have been a pain since they came out.. Ok.. so you did use the web one first... even if you think you got it all out and cleaned up.. it still could be part of the prob [01:06] notv, the desktop will work on pretty much anything (welcome to Ubuntu) [01:06] <--- has quick question... under power management dim at ilde is not checked for AC power... yet it still behaves as it does on battery... any ideas why? [01:06] mythomaniac: in bash type man usermod [01:06] Jack: ok, so how do i start fresh? [01:06] evil: what version do you have? [01:06] mythomaniac: There is a "-G" option :) [01:07] mythomaniac, Df_Yz, make *sure* you remember -a [01:07] cmdrpinksock: hardy [01:07] cmdrpinksock I would try manually getting the binary nvidia driver and working at it from there unless you made a backup (Which I always recommend) after you did your base install [01:07] Jack: Yeah, no backup [01:07] !nvidia [01:07] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:08] cmdrpinksock Is where I would start [01:08] Jack: ok thanks [01:08] mythomaniac: have you found? [01:08] Hello everyone. I have this problem with a Maxtor IDE drive where it works fine for a while then just stops working. A reboot makes it work again, but after a while it stops working. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? [01:08] Thingus: within K3B you can select the directory to temporarily store the file under "Settings > Configure K3b...". I have to wish you luck, as I need to hop off. [01:08] cmdrpinksock Did you install the nvivid configure thingy.. sorry I cant rem the name [01:08] is it possible to have the desktop background play a video instead of displaying a picture? [01:08] Jack: yeha [01:08] !find nvidia [01:08] Found: nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-kernel-common [01:08] Df_Yz: yes i'm reading it over right now ;) [01:09] evil: hardy still has probs, however it found my realtek card fine [01:09] evil: maybe goto the manf and see about linux drivers [01:09] Gah! [01:09] Is it possible to disable Ubuntu's firewall? [01:09] cmdrpinksock: It's been working just fine since the release until this upgrade [01:09] Even K3b fails... [01:10] D3RGPS31 YEs.. read man iptables [01:10] i think ubuntu's firewall is disabled by default [01:10] !firewall [01:10] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [01:10] Looks like I have to fall back to ISOburn in Windows. [01:10] evil: hrmmmmm............... [01:10] Hey, I want to be able to do things on this computer while i'm somewhere else, I figured I can do that with ssh, Assuming this is a fresh 7.04 install, what do i have to do to this machine to allow me to connect to it. [01:10] Terabyte: You could use vnc instead [01:11] evilgnome, how many sound devices? asoundconf list will tell you [01:11] its built right into ubuntu [01:11] Terabyte Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto [01:11] thanks jack, [01:11] invader i'll take a look [01:11] np [01:11] the CPU frequency scaling has gone bonkers on my laptop, is there an easy way to turn it off in 7.10? [01:11] Df_Yz: hmmm, I don't want to add my username to the admin group forever, I just want to allow it to run one command without password - like autostarting firestarter after reboot? [01:11] Bodsda: just one, CA0106 [01:11] Terabyte have to install openssh to because to connect to your ssh server at home [01:12] I was able to get the update manager to install updates and hopefully not give me any more troubles. But the add/remove programs is still hanging when i select a program to install. It won't pop up the password prompt like normal. What should I do? [01:12] how does fat32 stack up to ext3? [01:12] evilgnome, do you get sound if you type killall pulseaudio ? [01:12] notv, ext3 ftw! [01:12] So nobody can help me with my hard drive problem? [01:12] notv... it doesnt [01:12] !patience | InvaderAmoto [01:12] InvaderAmoto: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:12] Bodsda: nope [01:12] fat32 sucks thats how it stacks up [01:13] lol [01:13] mythomaniac Firestarter does not need to start to be working. It only configures the tables.. unless you are using it to share a connection, in which case you can add it to the startup [01:13] i guess i dont really need to share anything with my windows partition [01:13] sorry bodsda [01:13] InvaderAmoto, oops,. factoid changed sorry,.,. just try hangin around for a bit someone might come along later who can help [01:13] i was just asking in case somebody didnt read what i said earlier [01:13] notv... you can mount your ext3 in windows if you wish [01:13] there is a free app on the net for it... ext2free or somthing of the sort [01:13] evilgnome, im not really sure what to suggest sorry [01:13] ext2fs [01:14] brilliant jack_sparrow, worked :) [01:14] Terabyte YEa [01:14] Jack_sparrow... thanks for the correction [01:14] how mark shuttleworth make money with ubuntu ? [01:14] Dell [01:14] InvaderAmoto, askyour question, if no one has answered in about 5 mins ask again just dont flood the channel ;~) [01:14] mythomaniac: man sudo [01:14] Dell ? [01:15] mythomaniac: man sudoers :) [01:15] hmm, i'm trying to load guild wars and i hear the music but no game screen pops up, any ideas? [01:15] CrocoJet, this is a support channel -- try google [01:15] I just installed hardy heron, and I want to apt-get install php4-cli...is there something special I need to do? I ran apt-get update but it still doesn't find it when I run isntall [01:15] yes Dell [01:15] Ok.. I am out of answers, I will come back when I think of more.. [01:15] bbl [01:15] cya Jack_Sparrow [01:15] how much space does hardy take after install? [01:15] Ubuntu comes on dell servers if you request it. Since it's a $$$ based product, there is money in the support [01:16] hi guys, I have managed to "connect to server" via the file browser and I can browse the files with no issues, however I want to be able to save downloads to that share and I can't find where it is mounted to?? [01:16] Jack_Sparrow: correct, however, i seem to have a problem with getting sudoer's file syntax down to allow it to startup after a boot, for example ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/firestarter does not work, also adding ALL=(ALL) ALL does not resolve the issue... [01:16] notv... not much... but need room to grow.. i think its around 3gb. not certain though [01:17] notv, I have just installed hardy and its taking 2.8GB [01:17] <---was close :) [01:17] Ok, i have another problem that I've been meaning to get addresed. I run team fortress 2 (a windows game) with wine and sometimes the game doesnt refresh, or the screen doesnt refresh unless the mouse is moving. I was thinking it might be a problem with if the game has ubuntu's focus (is on top). [01:17] im thinking of having hardy and ubuntu studio and a few other things, but saving most of my stuff on a seperate home partition [01:17] Hay, Any one USE deluge-torrent?? How is it? IS it recommended over azureus?? [01:18] m_newton, I dont but qbittorrent looks good so far [01:18] m_newton, transmission is default in hardy ask in #ubuntu-bots maybe [01:18] i'm back! just though of something, i just installed a new SATA-harddrive, on 8.04 it doesn't matter, however on 7.10, which i'm using now, theres a difference since SATA and PATA are sda and hda... does this consern my problem with fixing grub [01:18] ? [01:18] whats the command to setup ALSA ? [01:19] gorio.... try alsaconfig... worked in debian [01:19] m_newton, also the deluge site appears to be down atm :/ [01:19] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-linux-unix-deluge-gui-bittorrent-client.html this site says that deluge-gui is good [01:19] tj83, i'm using Ubuntu 8.04 [01:19] i've been getting lots crashes in ubuntu. about 1-2 a day for a LONG time. since feisty. i always chalked it up to flash, nvidia or sometime. i did full reinstalls as well as upgrades and no luck. recently i did some distro shopping and discovered this machine doesn't crash as all in sabayon, arch, or slacware. [01:20] Xecuter, grub is only a prob if theres a distro on this new drive [01:20] larson9999, thats nice [01:20] gorio.... i just tried it... your right it doesnt work in 8.04.... not sure... try google. [01:20] at first glance sabayon looks cool! [01:20] larson9999: is it a hard lock up in which you have to press your computer's power button or does it come back? [01:21] Bodsda: i'm having a grub problem; error 15, so i have to reconfigure grub... and ive followed the guide at ubuntuforums, but it doesnt work [01:21] Bodsda, not really. i'd like to give this laptop to my 7 year old with ubuntu since it's a bit more user friendly. but i don't want to give it to him while it's crashy pants [01:21] gorio.... "alsa --help" doesnt give anythin pertaining to setup either. [01:21] I have an hardy ubuntu server, it cant connect to internet though :( Is there any way i can connect to internet through wirelessly [01:22] Xecuter: if you have multiple hard drives try setting the boot order to go to one of the other drives. that fixed the same problem for me [01:22] larson9999, well i think you should take it upon yourself to ask for help then [01:22] Is there an N64 emulator for 64 bit hardy? [01:22] InvaderAmoto, the lockup where the mouse moves but you can't click on anything. reisub don't work. only why i've been able to get out is to power off. [01:22] InvaderAmoto: How_ [01:22] anyone know how i change keyboard layouts? this english setting is fucking killing me! [01:22] Xecutor: in your BIOS there are settings for this [01:23] !language | Xecuter [01:23] Xecuter: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [01:23] Hello [01:23] hi [01:23] hello [01:23] !hi | UbuntuDude [01:23] UbuntuDude: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:23] hi ubot, bodsca, m_newton [01:23] Xecuter: System -> preferences -> keyboard -> layout [01:23] ..;lol ubuntudude [01:23] !lol [01:23] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:24] So.. I think the adobe flash plugin is causing Ubuntu to crash *and* lose sound. So, with that in mind, I want to replace it. Any suggestions that are better? [01:24] InvaderAmoto, it also crashes with debian. [01:24] I hate to be a foul weather friend, but video editing is driving me bonkers [01:24] larson9999: i had the same problem as you. Unfortanatly so do many others. and i dont beleive all of them have found a fix. It turns out there are multiple things causing that problem. Mine was disk I/O errors. [01:24] redshadowhero, theres nothing wrong with flash at my end but theres a few alternatives i think (cant remember the names though) [01:25] larson9999: and if it is disk I/O errors, it wouldnt show up in system log viewer becuase it cant write to disk. === cyclout is now known as cyclonut [01:25] Bodsda: well, as soon as I close flash content, my audio turns back on a little later. The only crashes I've had is when flash-based content comes up. [01:25] xubuntu install stops at disk partition screen on alter cd install. says !!! ??? or something [01:25] ??? [01:25] Seeker`: done that 1000 times, doesn't work... [01:25] same here flash is ok... adobe reader sometimes gives a fit. [01:25] larson9999: give me a minute to find the bug report of this. [01:26] redshadowhero, ok,.,. flash seems to be your prob,.,. have you un-installed then reinstalled the flash non-free pluggin? [01:26] InvaderAmoto, yeah i know. i've been searching forums for a couple years :) i chalked it up to an issue with linux in general. i was kinda shocked that those other distros haven't crashed once. [01:26] * UbuntuDude wounders if anybody is knowing about video editing next [01:26] cmdrpinksock, use the live cd? i had similar probs with alt cd (i dont know of a fix) [01:26] ??? === dmb_ is now known as dmb [01:26] Xecuter: Can you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf [01:26] Bodsda: ...you know what? I think I have, but I'm unsure. So, with that in mind, I'll do it again. [01:27] Bodsda: That the prob... live cd will not work becasue not enough memory, lol [01:27] hey why doesn't pidgin support web cams? is there solution to this problem? [01:27] redshadowhero, always good to double check [01:27] only has 64 M [01:27] Seeker`: I'm running a live cd === chaky_ is now known as chaky [01:27] one of the memorey chip wont detect. [01:27] B-rabbit, amsn skype ekiga these last two audio too [01:27] how do i remove the xubuntu loading screen ?? when i boost my ubuntu? [01:28] Xecuter: Afaik, it doesn;t usually default to a gb layout [01:28] suRs, startup manager [01:28] QueRicoMate, i duno what yu mean mate? [01:28] Xecuter, mount your ubuntu partition to get to the xorg.conf if your on live cd [01:28] Bodsda: trust me, I know that one for a fact. :P [01:28] quericomate were is starup manager? i use xubuntu [01:28] B-rabbit, what do i mean with what? [01:28] Bodsda: why do you want my xorg.conf file_ [01:29] larson9999: if u want to try to narrow it down a little to see if your problem is like mine, just leave the computer without touching the mouse or keyboard next time it crashes. for me it would come back but opening apps or doing anything related to reading the disk would cause a crash or make a disk I/O error pop up. To fix it i had to use a SATA drive to install on instead of my IDE drive. === walrus is now known as walrusgumbo [01:29] Xecuter, not me, Seeker` requested it [01:29] suRs, sudo apt-get install startupmanager or search it trough synaptic or i dont know what xubuntu uses, but u can change the splash screen by that [01:30] Forget about that! help me with my grub problem instead! [01:30] or you could try asking politely [01:30] excuse me... i have problem with EKIGA [01:30] can any one help me? [01:30] Anyone know hot to reset the IP on a wireless network. Like (ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew) on windows?? [01:30] !ask | sabry [01:30] sabry: 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. :-) [01:30] thanks [01:31] np [01:31] I removed the partition that had ubuntu on it. Now, when I turn on my computer i get "Error 17" [01:31] * UbuntuDude will try that also. [01:31] Xecuter: i had tons of problems with grub a while back because i didnt no how it worked. look up how it works and you might be able to figure out your problem. [01:31] might be a grub error! [01:31] Matt12, re install partiton table by re installing configuring grub [01:32] m_newton it is...what can I do [01:32] how do I do that [01:32] i can't get on the computer at all [01:32] querucimate how can i add back my applecation to my bar meny? [01:32] I used the Hardy disk but I got the same thing [01:32] Do you have a live cd with you [01:32] anybody connect to server apps on my virtualbox because its using a nat using firestarter? [01:32] Matt12, use alive cd and do so [01:32] I have the hardy live cd, m_newton [01:33] but the same thing happens when I turn the computer on [01:33] anybody know how I can connect to server apps on my virtualbox because its using a nat using firestarter? I meant [01:33] Matt12, you need to change the boot order in your bios to boot from cd first === sekat0r is now known as sekator [01:33] hey, I'm having some trouble with an rs232 cable [01:33] it's rs232/usb, male on both ends [01:33] i get a grub error 15, and im trying to get it working by running the grub shell from a live cd, my /boot is on /dev/sda1, but i cant get grub to realise that! 'find /boot/grub/stage1' says hd(2,0), but thats not working... any ideas_ [01:33] bodsda...the first screen I get is the lenovo screen, the second is the error. [01:33] anyone know why emerald doesnt start up at boot? or atleast its themes are not visible? [01:33] I have 2 sites for you (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto and http://linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_repair_your_grub) [01:34] it doesn't show up in /dev or dmesg, so am I right in assuming it has to be plugged into another cable/device to do anything? [01:34] Xecutor: do you have multiple hard drives? [01:34] hey folks running ubuntu 8.04 on a dell inspiron 1525 that had 7.10 preinstalled (then i upgraded), i am trying for the first time to get the memory card reader to read... nothing appears in dmesg when inserting card. [01:34] Matt12, on the lenvo screen (or just before) it should say something like "Press F2 for bios" [01:34] InvaderAmoto, well, if that's the problem, i'll have to stick with another distro as we bought this hd recently. [01:34] can someone please tell me how I can map an smb mount in file browser to a mount point? [01:34] InvaderAmoto: XecutEEEr :P so i don't miss what you're saying... yes i have 3 atm, one SATA and two PATA [01:35] larson9999: i wouldn't assume that thats the problem. it could be one of a million things. [01:35] bodsda, it says no such thing...pressing f2 does nothing. [01:35] Does anybody know how to get Cinelerra or Kino or anything working properly for making youtube videos? I'm trying to import some quicktime format vids. Kino converts them to DV format which speeds them up and removes the sound. I can sort of get things working in Cinelerra (which only wants to let me to export with audio and video combined in qt format) but when I export the sound is bad, the colours are inverted, and the v [01:35] ideo is choppy. I saw I was missing some quicktime libraries but that didn't seem to help when I installed them and tried again. I tried to install kdenlive but it says it can't find drkonqi, which i can't seem to find anywhere either, so I am currently installing the kde desktop. [01:35] InvaderAmoto, the troubling thing to me is slack arch and sabayon don't have the issue. ubuntu that different? [01:35] ON https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto read the part with [Backup, Repairing and Reinstalling GRUB] i have used commandline! It worked best [01:35] Xecuter: what? and your BIOS might be set to boot from the wrong drive [01:36] m_newton...I can't get on my computer at all... I'm using another computer [01:36] I can't load ubuntu or windows [01:36] Matt12, well you have to work out how to get to your system bios before you can boot a live cd -- (or remove all hd's then boot to cd then plug drives back in (while machine is running)) [01:36] larson9999: i dont know anything about either of those distros. so, idk [01:36] can anyone help me work out why i can't get vlc to work? [01:36] InvaderAmoto: hmm maybe so... i'll try that... i'll be back if its not working... [01:36] you have the live cd right, use it to boot in a live ubuntu hardy === fserve_ is now known as fserve [01:37] In laptops you have to press f12 to get into live cd [01:37] m_newton I put the disc in, I turned the computer on, I still get a grub error. [01:37] (hmm, nobody noticed . . . I'll try the forums) [01:37] m_newton, i have a laptop and i only had to configure setup to do so [01:38] Ya, did you boot from the cd, or the hard drive [01:38] m_newton, i think his prob is his bios isnt set to boot the cd first, it boots hd and gets an error, he needs to change boot device order in bios [01:38] hi all i installed kopete in ubuntu and it asked for jasper for video chat... i install that too.. will it affect the video quality of the skype? [01:39] Matt12, while starting the computer press the key that says SETUP or del or sup and ull get into setupin boot options set it up to start from cdrom [01:39] Is there a way to install 32 bit hardy without loosing all the data I have in this 64 bit installation? [01:39] back again =D is there a tutorial on changing the text of ubuntu on bootup, when the splash is removed (like Fedora Core)? [01:39] Ok, so the problem lies in the bios, is this a new comuter, or old?? [01:39] m_newton it's a month old [01:40] um hold on let me type what I just did [01:40] Then when you start your computer, do you see the logo of the company as you boot before getting the grub error? [01:40] sabry, shouldnt do anything to skype afaik [01:40] Zaiden: you can transfer important files to an external drive. or if you install the 32 bit in a different place than the 64 (without formatting the 64) the installer asks if you would like to import settings from the 64 bit one. [01:40] <---- thinks esc usually kill oem splash screens [01:41] can anyone help me work out why i can't get vlc to work? [01:41] yes I pressed the "think vantage" button...I have three options 1. resume normal startup 2. enter the BIOS setup util and 3. choose temp startup device [01:41] i m unable to wifi... can any on ehelp me [01:41] ???? [01:41] Hello guys. When I start my system I can run Jedi Academy with no prob. If I run it after I have used finale 2007 I get no sound on Jedi Academy, and I get a message telling mi Jedi Academy can find no sound card in my system. How can I fix this? Is there some way I can "restart" sound on wine? [01:41] Matt12, choose number 2 [01:41] BobPenguin: you might try asking in #winehq [01:42] thanks Flannel! [01:42] m_newton... wouldnt 3 be better if he usually leaves media in the drive? [01:42] AcornAcorn: do you have any info on what happens or what your doing to try to get it to work? [01:42] always ticks me off. [01:42] Ok, try option 3. with the linux cd in the drive. and select cd [01:42] yes, if you arent good with bios i guess. [01:42] okay I'm in BIOS Setup Util...now what. 1 config 2 date/time 3 security 4 startup 5 restart 6 hdd diagnostics bodsda m_newton [01:43] Matt12, 4 [01:43] now select 4 [01:43] 1 boot 2 network [01:43] m_newton... :) its only opinion of course.. and easier to get someone else to do.... Oh... I fully get all bios settings... Just if i have bootable media in the drive i dont want it to boot it unless i tell it to boot it... ya know? [01:43] Matt12, 1 [01:43] InvaderAmoto: Ah, ok. I guess I'll just completely reinstall. Thank you for the help though. [01:43] he went with door # 2 anyways :) [01:43] InvaderAmoto: It can play some videos but there is no sound, and it doesn't work when i play mp3 or flac, that's what i've tested. on the videolan channel someone looked at the output and said my installation must be broken, but it's the same even after i purge vlc and reinstall. supposedly the problem is : "[00000292] main input error: no suitable access module for `file'" [01:44] ya [01:44] make the dc option first [01:44] make the dcd option first [01:44] make the cd option first (srry) [01:45] would that be "Atapi CD0:MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-850? [01:45] yup [01:45] AcornAcorn: hmmm. if they cant figure it out then it must be a pretty tough problem to fix. have you considered just using totem, or some other video player? [01:45] php4-cli on hardy heron - is this available by default? do i have to do anyting? [01:45] remember what it is on right now though, you will have to set it back to that later [01:46] InvaderAmoto: I've only had one person trying to help me out, so i suppose there could still be hope [01:46] OK so my order is 1: ATAPI CD 2: USB FDD 3 USB CD 4 ATA HDD0 etc. [01:46] InvaderAmoto: I'm thinking there might be some dependency not installed or i uninstalled something i shouldnt have [01:46] After that, chose the option that says save and exit, there might be one that says save as default, chose whichever you want [01:46] how do i add application icon to my bar? [01:47] AcornAcorn: well ubuntu is smart enough to tell you when a dependency isnt installed. [01:47] AcornAcorn: i would just use some other video player. I dont like totem, but i hear mplayer is good. === wobblyw1 is now known as wobblywu [01:47] InvaderAmoto: can't understand why it wouldn't work then [01:48] AcornAcorn: well thats why your here...: ) [01:48] Has anyone used WebCT's chat with Ubuntu on Firefox 2/3 ? [01:48] :( same thing...GRUB loading, please wait...Error 17 [01:48] ok, cool as long as cd is first, save and exit, make sure you have the cd in though. Next you will boot from hardy when you restart (hopefully) [01:48] hi, ub6.06 complains : no GLIBC2.4 found when im running some app. is it right to download and compile from src? [01:48] hi all... when I type smb://common, i can't see the shared folder... when i type smb://common/movies, I get a login/password screen and i can access the shared files [01:49] i can't see the shared folder list*** [01:49] any luck? [01:49] InvaderAmoto: hehe, yeah, i thought ubuntu was supposed to "just work" :( [01:49] m_newton I get the same error :( [01:49] what is the command to kill all process containing the name "firefox"? [01:49] how do i add application to my bar? [01:49] matt12 try door # 3 this time.. and watch the drive's status light to make sure it is attpempting to access the drive and if still no success... re-burn the disk or try on another machine. [01:49] InvaderAmoto: is there not something i could do to try and fix it, like purging and reinstalling from terminal or something? [01:49] Does it mean that if I'm able to run sudo that I have admin privileges? [01:49] AcornAcorn: yah it is... but as ubuntu users its our obligation to report bugs like that. [01:50] try again, the settings may require 1 reboot. atleast for my bios passwd they did. Basically try again [01:50] another question, if I remove firefox 3 from synaptic, will it remove all its files like the sql lite files [01:50] AcornAcorn: yah you could try reinstalling it. that might help [01:51] the cd is spinning I can hear it...but all I get is Eroor 17 everytime [01:51] hey, how do I change the listening port on openssh, i have tried the ssh_config file, I uncommented Port 22, and changed it to the port I wanted, and after saving it, and restarting it, the changes don't seem to have taken effect [01:51] there is a pritty good clip of this on the web. check out http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~cscie1/play/podcasts/2006/votw/1/Changing_PC_BIOS_Settings.flv [01:51] exit [01:51] oops [01:51] hi, ub6.06(with glibc 2.3.6) complains no GLIBC2.4 found, when im running some app. is it safe to download the latest version of libc6 and compile from src? [01:52] Matt12: it might be that the disk you are using is corrupt. try the live disk with another computer if you have access to one. [01:52] i need help loading my sound module please [01:52] m_newton... your set on him going through the bios... why not just choose the drive once? [01:52] or the only thing i can do is upgrade to ub 7 or 8 [01:52] Would there be a disadvantage of some sort for using a AMD 64 Dual core on 32 bit hardy? [01:52] i dont think his computer had that option [01:52] taurusivy: install libc6 and libc6-dev in the package manager [01:53] matt12.... choose # 3.... watch the status light... make sure you see some activity... if so and it doesnt work you likely have a bad disk. [01:53] if no light.. then you must do something else [01:53] hi. when i try to playback an mp3 with rhythmbox, it hangs approx. 10 seconds then starts playback. this also happens with flash when playing youtube videos... [01:53] taurusivy: i think its "safe" to, but idk if the program you want installed would recognize it. also if its updated in the repos you wouldn't get it. [01:53] how would i test to see how fast my wireless connection is?? i'm trying to stream video over this 802.11g (supposedly) chip... but it's not working like my other laptop [01:53] m_newton he said 3 was choose temporary boot device [01:54] that would be the live cd [01:54] i think i crahed my graphic card with the ubuntu cube and other effects [01:54] okay I'm going to test the live cd [01:54] Zaiden: the only thing i notice different between 64 bit and 32 bit is a slight (VERY slight) speed difference [01:54] can some1 help me out [01:54] Zaiden: and that a few apps arent 64 bit [01:54] oh wait, found it, supposed to edit sshD <<<< not ssh_config [01:54] m_newton.. I do agree with your logic... and from what he has said.. your suggestions "should" have worked... [01:55] hello people [01:55] can some1 help me out my ubuntu linux crashed [01:55] I'm trying to install php4-cli on hardy heron and it's failing miserably. Is this available by default? do i have to do anyting? This always worked on Debian... [01:55] O.o [01:55] whats your status now? [01:55] matt12... get back to the 1.2.3 choices and list them again for us plz [01:56] How can I copy a logical volume? [01:56] Malik_: what happened? did the whole thing lock up? can you move the mouse? give us more info [01:56] ryanakca: you could use gparted (gnome partition editor in add/remove) [01:56] tj83 1 resume normal setup 2 enter BIOS Setup Util 3 Choose a temp startup device [01:57] is there anyway to reboot my machine if I am getting this? -bash: /sbin/reboot: Input/output error [01:57] choose 3 it will ask you which device [01:57] why not man "lvmove" [01:57] give us your new choices [01:57] hi. when i try to playback an mp3 with rhythmbox, it hangs approx. 10 seconds then starts playback. this also happens with flash when playing youtube videos... any suggestions? [01:57] these are the options you see when you first boot right... 1. resume normal startup 2. enter the BIOS setup util and 3. choose temp startup device [01:57] i need help loading my sound module [01:57] 1 ATAPI CD0:MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-85 2. ATA HDD0: 3 PCI LAN [01:58] matt12 what after you pick # 3? [01:58] choose 1 [01:58] does the disk light come on? [01:58] tj83 okay, I'm testing the live cd on another computer right now [01:58] Matt12.. um.. ya it would help if the disk was in the drive of the notebook :) [01:59] somebody please tell me what command will tell me who is using a certain device. [01:59] Can someone point me to a guide for setting up a domain for a network? [01:59] im going to lose my freaking mind [02:00] can I get some help getting my eternal monitor to function? [02:00] i need help loading my sound module [02:00] 1 ATAPI CD0:MATSHITADVD-RAM is the one you want! Try this when you computer boots push f12 repeated ly till you get a menu that gives you thoes 1 ATAPI CD0:MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-85 2. ATA HDD0: 3 PCI LAN options. Chose the cd one and then viola [02:00] if that doesnot work try with f10, or escape [02:00] m_newton... its not f12 for all computers.. each manufacture is different. [02:01] It appears that the Live cd is defective [02:01] so I guess I'll try burning another one [02:01] Hey there. I seem to have forgotten where individual packages are located. I want to grab the XMMS packages from Gutsy. I've got no love for XMMS2. [02:01] Matt12: burn it at low speeds (like 4X) to ensure that it doesnt corrupt again [02:01] how do you list the groups a user is part of? [02:01] need help with xvidcap. Im getting 1% of success on frame rate... has anyone used it before? [02:01] Matt12 did you fully go though the last steps option 3 then option 1 with the disc in? [02:02] heartsblood: groups user [02:02] you might have to dwnload it again. Dont use torrents, get it from the official site [02:02] i need help loading my sound module [02:02] tj83, yes...the live cd doesnt work from another computer either though [02:02] First try burning again [02:02] so I'm going to try a new one [02:02] !sound Uplink [02:02] Factoid sound uplink not found [02:03] ops [02:03] InvaderAmoto: thanks [02:03] :/ [02:03] Matt12: Be sure to check the md5 sum on it to make sure it isn't corrupted (use "md5sum").... [02:03] i need the command eto load the sound modul [02:03] matt12.... IC... yes.. m_newton is right... use the official site as well as heed InvaderAmoto's advice on low speed [02:03] cant remember how to use the bot... hehe [02:03] ryanakca: np [02:03] ok I've changed a file to 770 but users other than owner can not cd to the directory. what could cause this? [02:03] Uplink: modprobe nameofthemodule [02:03] TY [02:03] does anybody know that command that will tell you who is using a certain device....in case, the device is not being unmounted, because it is busy [02:03] heartsblood, you need to change the perms for the folder. [02:03] to? [02:04] trakinas, how do i get the module of my audio? [02:04] tj83 m_newton...should the new live cd work...should I just install ubuntu again? and leave it...or is their a grub repair/remove app on it? [02:04] heartsblood, read "man chmod" [02:04] 770 should allow the owner and group members entrance. I don't want 'others' using ls on the directory [02:04] Uplink: that, i cannot help... [02:04] nano_: You can use "lsof" for that, but I'm not sure of the exact options to use for your case. Just check the man page. [02:04] Ashfire908, I know how to use the command [02:05] STSX thx [02:05] heartsblood, are the other users in the group that the folder is set to? [02:05] Can someone point me to a guide for setting up a domain for a network? [02:05] matt12.. unless you mad a back up of you grub settings.. its probably your only choice [02:05] yes [02:05] There is a way to repair grub, but it is kind of easy, but if you want to download all the other stuff again just reinstall [02:05] STSX: there was actually another command that i was in reference to [02:05] don't you hate it when you cant think of a very important command when u need it most!! [02:05] kernel: Cannot read proc file system: 9 - Bad file descriptor. how do I remount proc ? [02:05] do I need to log out the users for that to take effect? [02:05] There is a way to repair grub, but it is kind of medium level (correction) [02:06] nano_: Always more than one way to skin a cat in linux... :) [02:06] STSX: lol, yeah [02:06] heartsblood, no. [02:06] Matt12 do you dual boot? and does it give you the "press esc for menu" message? [02:06] m_newton...fair enough so I should just install ubuntu as usual again...and things should be fine [02:06] has anyone used xvidcap before? [02:06] um the computer I have doesn't have an ISO program...is there any free program/trial program [02:07] heartsblood, perms always take immediate effect. [02:07] http://pastebin.com/m6bcf55d3 [02:07] Matt12 what did you do prior to the issue to possibly "cause" the error? [02:07] heartsblood, are the folders that contain the folder set to the right group/perms? [02:07] you can see what i'm looking at there [02:07] yes, but you will need to get all updates and apps again, also you will have a clean harddisk, all data will be gone... [02:07] Matt12 look for ISOburn on google [02:07] tj83 I unassigned the partition through windows [02:07] the user is clearly part of the group but I can't cd to the directory [02:07] Matt12: InfraRecorder (if you are on windows) [02:07] m_newton...what about all my windows files. [02:08] you killed which partition? windows or ubuntu or what? === Martinp23 is now known as martinp23 [02:08] Matt12 which partition? [02:08] tj83 I killed the ubuntu partition, which killed the grub loader which now won't let me start up [02:08] yup, only if you installed on the whole disk though [02:08] yea... ubuntu is gone! matt12 [02:09] have you partitioned your harddisk? [02:09] matt12... reinstall ubuntu is your only option. [02:09] it is partitioned yes [02:09] Starnestommy: but libc6 in dapper's repo is 2.3.6, the app needs at least 2.4.. [02:09] taurusivy: you might need to upgrade ubuntu [02:09] m_newton... sounds like he killed the ubuntu partition.. hence the error.. [02:10] can someone help with ATI drivers for a 9250 pci card [02:10] the NVidia drivers are now broken in the .17 kernel [02:11] ya, i did that once... only to reformat and lose all files, now i have (literaly cracked my vista recovery cd and am liveing a happy life as a ubuntu/fedora user) [02:12] tinin: yea.. so I don't think I can find one... [02:12] srry once again wrong comment 2 wrong guy [02:12] m_newton I enjoyed ubuntu, but I really never used it...I was just hoping to reclaim the 15 gigs i alotted it [02:12] Ha... your trying to repair the windows MBR then... wow. [02:12] Ashfire908, you were wrong sir. I had to log each user out and log back in for the changes to take effect. [02:13] Ashfire908, it works fine now [02:13] Matt12 SHAME! on you for trying to ditch ubuntu. [02:13] heartsblood, what? [02:13] heartsblood, how are you accessing the folder? [02:13] Hey, I want to update my computer remotley, Obviously when I'm sitting infront of it I can run "software updates" but otherwise how can I do the same thing over the command line, I basically want the whole "update, yes yes yes accept next to all" but done over the command line. Is this possible? [02:14] I'm using nautilus, the others will most likely be using a bash term from putty [02:14] Matt12... it should be the exact opposite... I dumped my perfectly legal copy of vista for ubuntu. [02:14] how can I check what version of xorg I have? [02:14] tj83 I'm not knowledgable enough to get the most out of ubuntu [02:14] Terabyte, sshd and "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" [02:14] I think I found the answer to getting ubuntu to windows people. WWhen I tried to give someone a disk I made for them to try ubuntu I would get a so so reaction. I ordered 25 factory ubuntu disk from the ubuntu webite and they went like i was handing out 5 dollar bills ????? [02:14] Hey anyone, I've been trying to make my options for choosing a higher screen resolution higher than the 800x600 I am given. I've trien almost anything, does anyone have any input on what I should do [02:14] tj83 I can zip my way around windows easily, but with Ubuntu I was just doing basic stuff. [02:15] heartsblood, you shouldn't need to logout to do it. [02:15] thanks ashfire [02:15] Matt12... yes you are!.... it takes devotion... and time and simply removing windows from your environment... if you force yourself to live without windows for a month.. you'll never go back [02:15] oh, so then you should... oh wait repairing grub wont deleat it [02:15] STSX: found it......the command i was looking for was fuser [02:15] matt12 what are you trying to do? [02:15] now I don't care..Ill keep ubuntu if it will give me my computer back [02:15] Ashfire908, I'm just telling it that is what fixed it. In fact i'm sitting on the last user account (has not been logged out yet) and he can not enter the folder [02:15] terabyte I tried to reclaim my ubuntu partition for windows...which killed the grub loader and now I can't get on the computer [02:16] Matt12... grub and all things on that partition are now gone.. and now you have a "damaged" MBR. (master boot record) on your windows partition. [02:16] Terabyte, sshd will get you a SSH daemon which will get you a shell with a secure connection and apt-get is the package manager. [02:16] thanks ashfire908 [02:16] tj83 what are you saying man...am I cooked? [02:16] Ashfire908, after a quick relog he can now cd to the directory just fine. [02:16] matt12 what did you use? I use partition magic for 'reclaiming space' [02:16] heartsblood, whatever. [02:16] why xvidcap sucks with me? =( [02:16] nano_: Great you figured it out--I'll have to remember that command in the future. [02:16] i did just unassigned it I was trying to format it but vista wasn't letting me [02:17] STSX: its a lifesaver really! [02:17] I've got a uniden GPS unit here, with a USB interface.. in windows it comes up as a USB serial port and I can dump the GPS data into hyperterm.. But I can't seem to get Ubuntu to recognise it at all; it shows up in lsusb but that's about all... any suggestions? [02:17] Matt12... its not about keeping ubuntu to get your stinking windows back!. its about letting loose of windows!... no thats not what i am saying... what i am saying is if you wanted to try ubuntu and dual windows with it... would have been smart to take precautionary measure by backing up your mbr. [02:17] Hey anyone, I've been trying to make my options for choosing a higher screen resolution higher than the 800x600 I am given. I've trien almost anything, does anyone have any input on what I should do? [02:18] What installation of ubuntu would you reccomend for a old Pentium 2, I would assume xubuntu or is there another distro that may work better? [02:18] ok i'm back... again... but now i dont think grub is my problem; i've done the whole 'root (hd2,0)' and soforth, but its still not starting... booting hangs just befor grub is supposed to start. It's an SATA-disk, any clues? [02:18] matt12, have you tried looking up "reinstall vista bootloader" in google? [02:18] i have to go, easy fix is installing windows, i dont know much now cuz i have deleated my vista, i think deleating the grub might work. [02:18] Matt12... but... yes.. re-installing will essentially "patch" your mbr into a usable state again.. although i seriously hesitate to admit this to you as need some guidance to get started into linux. [02:18] nano_: So before I did into its manpage, just out of curiosity, what are the options you are feeding it? What does your command look like? [02:18] Kakura: dyu know why you're limited to 800x600? [02:18] matt12 see: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-general/26152-reinstalling-vista-bootloader.html [02:18] oh word...wellI did give ubuntu a couple weeks, I installed it almost as soon as I got the new computer [02:18] Packerfan: pupply linux.. even xubuntu isn't all that light [02:18] fuser -v /device [02:18] thanks m_newton [02:18] ok in this case he blew it with xp, but it amounts to the same thing [02:18] of file [02:18] Packerfan: theres lots of more efficient distros, [02:18] is there some good program to catalog ones pr0n [02:18] ok [02:18] bye to all ... for now [02:18] any ideas where to start looking? [02:19] jack_spratt: I have no idea, but I guess maybe cause my monitor is old, SiS graphics card, or there is some error, or I'm doing something wrong [02:19] Packerfan: tinyme springs to mind, but there are others that are better still for old machines === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateBooted [02:19] also its cd drive is dead, should I just plug in one of my drives temporarily for it [02:19] matt12 obviously you'll need your vista dvd;) [02:19] Kakura: has the monitor displayed higher before? has the chipset? [02:19] Matt12... I completely understand... I tried many linux distros and gave up multiple times.. [02:19] or is there a way to wirelessly install using the floppy and a wifi network [02:19] terabyte, the only thing is my computer came preloaded with vista and now extra dvd [02:19] I could probably try usb boot too [02:19] no* [02:19] I have a fast usb stick [02:19] argh, totem doesn't work either! my computer is a failure :( [02:19] org [02:19] Matt12 its hard to get "over the hump" with linux [02:20] your pc didn't come with any dvd backup? [02:20] of vista* === PrivateBooted is now known as PrivateVoid [02:20] Matt12, I have spent 6 months putting in an hour or two a week trying to get my drivers to work [02:20] im going back to windows quick [02:20] im lagging to much here [02:20] my computer came preloaded with 0x00 [02:20] ok i'm back... again... but now i dont think grub is my problem; i've done the whole 'root (hd2,0)' and soforth, but its still not starting... booting hangs just befor grub is supposed to start. It's an SATA-disk, any clues? [02:20] jack_spratt: oh yes, Windows had me always higher, and there was even more than my defaulted 1027x768 [02:20] Hey when I install fonts do i have log out and log back in for them to be usable in applications? [02:21] Packerfan: there are ways to install without CD, I dont know how to do it with buntu, i can only advise regarding other distros. in windows however you could presumably create a virtual cd drive and then mount an iso you could import from somewhere or download, and then install buntu using wubi [02:21] Matt12... and thats what we are all in here for... is to help you... so you can become one of us and help others too... I am not super experienced either... only been back in linux for a few months... but i "removed" vista.. and love it! [02:21] packerfan that's the boat I was(am) in. There was a lot of things I wanted to do but I just couldn't figure it out msgboards, chats, tutorials etc...no luck [02:21] I'm all Ubuntu. I even replaced my win2k server with Ubuntu [02:21] when using fglrx, i must boot into recovery mode, reinstall it, and then do a depmod. I have to do this every time. anyone have ideas why? [02:21] Kakura: sounds like your using vesa driver or something with limited functionality. either that or there is a vram allocation problem. try and sort out the video driver that your using and test it [02:22] * zcat[1] is trying to start some Linux / OOo / GIMP courses through a community training place I've been helping out at [02:22] but I'll keep Hardy...but things like mp3 player support, dual monitor support, among other things..I just couldn't get working [02:22] zcat[1]: interesting [02:22] jack_spratt: well I have a SiS video card, and I'm not sure how to install their drivers in Ubuntu, as they don't make them for any other OS except Windows [02:22] 'cos basically *nobody* teaches anything but MSOffice on MSWindows .. [02:22] Matt12.... Microsoft has brainwashed the general public to do whats "easy". and witht that comes limitations... thats the only way to make serious computing easy... it to limit your options so you never experience the truth... [02:22] I can't get sound to work with any media player on my ubuntu installation, can anyone help me work out why? [02:22] Matt12, dont give up so quickly :) [02:23] matt12 take a look at this also, http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Installing-GRUB-natively.html [02:23] Matt12.. you jumped the gun... dont get into the deep end right away... its ok to wade the kiddie pool for a little while. [02:23] tj83: you imply that windows is actually easy. My experience it's much harder, it's just that people are used to Windows and Linux is different [02:23] matt12, follow that to reinstall grub, booting into vista shouldn't be too hard, sadly I don't have the commands here,. [02:23] Kakura: your kidding! if sis only worked in win i wouldnt be a linux user most likely [02:24] terabyte thanks, I'll check that out [02:24] hey, i'm using a ZTE MF622 wireless modem. I use pppd to connect to the net with it. The problem is that i only get 60 kb/s download, though the device is capable to get up to 4 mbit. it's not the signal as i've tried this in a place with stronger signal and get the same results. can anyone help? [02:24] Kakura: you mean for that chipset only there are win drivers?? [02:24] zcat[1] perhaps easy is the wrong word "user-friendly" is more appropriate. [02:24] jack_spratt: The one I downloaded wouldn't open up [02:24] is ther any website that can i post a image of an error ??? [02:25] I just want the option of keying down to the "indows Longhorn etc." option and hitting enter. [02:25] tj83: the word you're looking for is 'user-familiar' -- because it's been almost universal for years, people just aren't familiar with anything but windows. Ubuntu bug #1 [02:25] matt12, personally I prefer windows too, but ubuntu just makes remote administration of my 'grans' computer so much easier, and frankly my uni course is based around it, horses for courses, and it's a total pain in the arse to find out your wireless, graphics, wired network drivers don't work. [02:25] zcat[1]: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 376, column 84 [02:25] I can't get sound to work with any media player on my ubuntu installation, can anyone help me work out why? [02:25] i need help lease, im getting NO sound at all [02:26] Uplink, did you have sound before? [02:26] terabyte, I did notice that networking through Hardy was easier than windows [02:26] acorn, have you tried turning the mute button off and on again (seriously check the volume level) [02:26] Uplink: are you using a laptop? [02:26] Kakura: look i dont really know about installing sis vdrivers in buntu. however in other distros its very easy so i assume it is in buntu here, but I cant tell you how. ask the others or forum trawl i guess. alternatively if you have an old video card lieing about use that instead. you can get one for $5 if you like; doesnt have to be good, but its a quick fix [02:26] Hey, lads/lasses. Ubuntu user for four years seeks laptop recommendation for his girlfriend. [02:26] YES [02:26] Uplink: What is your codec? [02:26] zcat[1] this is coming from many many years of windows experience and less than 1 year of linux experience... and your right... change is hard for people in general... but there has to be motivation and devotion and a will to make change. [02:26] so no help with my usb-serual gps problem :( [02:26] IXP [ATI IXP], device 0: ATI IXP AC97 [ATI IXP AC97] [02:26] matt12, yeah, in 704 it worked perfectly, plug and play, but in 804 it went tits up sat there for a day trying to get it to work [02:26] TBotNik, IXP [ATI IXP], device 0: ATI IXP AC97 [ATI IXP AC97] [02:27] modules are in the kernel, no worries [02:27] Terabyte: volume is fine and i can hear sound on flash vidoes [02:27] Rob125: asus eee? ;) [02:27] acornacorn, oh deaar sorry:( [02:27] zcat[1]: thought about that, but had one for a bit and our fingers are too small [02:27] jack_spratt: well thanks, do you know of any good cheap ones though? My computer was made around 2004, and I'm sure the parts are older [02:27] plus have a bigger budget than that. [02:28] In that case, anyone know about install SiS drivers in Ubuntu? [02:28] hey can some1 help me i wana get compiz fusion but i hav no internet and its not on the installation cd [02:28] Matt12.... i agree... hardware can be a mess in linux... for instance ... my wireless card didnt work for anything.. it took me 2 weeks to work it out. and now i have made a page on the ubuntu wiki telling eveyone else how to acomplish what took me 2 weeks to do. [02:28] Uplink: Did you check to see, Ubuntu docs or Google search, if your codec is in the release kernal? Mine is not (RealTek AC97 series) so I have to download and install seperate. [02:28] bbias [02:28] Rob125: A lot of Linuxers seem to like IBM thinkpads ... [02:28] TBotNik, my sound was working perfect a few hours ago [02:28] is it possible to get compiz fusion on to ubuntu without internet like download it on another computer and then copy it there [02:28] i'm having trouble! grub is not starting if i boot from my sata disk! what can it be? [02:28] Matt12... we are willing to give our time to you... if your willing to give back of course. [02:28] ola [02:28] hey, i'm using a ZTE MF622 wireless modem. I use pppd to connect to the net with it. The problem is that i only get 60 kb/s download, though the device is capable to get up to 4 mbit. it's not the signal as i've tried this in a place with stronger signal and get the same results. can anyone help? [02:28] Kakura: ebay should work if you choose that route. buntu should work tho, if it doesnt, consider trying a different distro [02:29] i'm using amarok in ubuntu 8.04. my keyboard has media keys that work fine with in e.g. rhythmbox (set via system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts), but i can't seem to set them in amarok (configuring in settings > configure global shortcuts). any hints on how to get media keys to work with amarok? [02:29] tj83 well, I'm learning a lot about my computer right now, that's for sure [02:29] !realtek [02:29] some help for recent Realtek chipsets can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RealtekRTL8187b [02:29] Malik_: possible yes, easy, not always . [02:29] alguem jah conseguiu instalar wifi atheros num note acer aspire 3050-1458 [02:29] bring out your dead [02:29] jack_spratt: any distro you recommend? [02:29] can u gimme the link for compiz fusion [02:29] matt12... thats my realtek wi-fi card how to.... look at it. [02:29] Uplink, did you do "lsof | grep pcm" and see if anything is holding up your sound card? [02:29] uplink: for what its worth i had probs with sound which i resolved by downloading new codecs [02:29] zeeeee: you are using gnome+ [02:30] Malik_: compiz-fusion is preinstalled.. perhaps you're thinking of 3d video drivers or compizconfig-settings-manager ? [02:30] ? [02:30] Xecuter, yeah using gnome [02:30] Matt12.. when i started facing my problem with the wi-fi i knew zero linux... not a single thing. [02:30] AaronH, im getting no response from that command [02:30] yea compiz-fig thing [02:30] i need that === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:30] Xecuter, er, not sure what's gnome+ [02:30] Uplink: Yup, you have the AC97, Ah the it was working now it's not. Q==> Did the autoupdater run? If so and if there was a codec update for base config, yours is gone now and you must re-install. Had that happen more than once, so wrote bash script to re-install, rather than all the manual crap. [02:30] hi somebody know how to install a atheros on acer 3050-1458? [02:30] zeeeee: okey, go to the script handler in amarok, and install the script Gnome media keys, that should do it ;) [02:31] zeeeee: thats your desktop environment [02:31] TBotNik, running the update manager right now... 17 updates [02:31] 有用汉语的么 [02:31] Uplink, did you try "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart" [02:31] Malik_: figure out what packages had to be downloaded, copy them from one computer to the other (they're in /etc/apt/cache somewhere) then use synaptic, it will see them there and not need/try to download them [02:31] AaronH, let me try that [02:31] hey, i'm using a ZTE MF622 wireless modem. I use pppd to connect to the net with it. The problem is that i only get 60 kb/s download, though the device is capable to get up to 4 mbit. it's not the signal as i've tried this in a place with stronger signal and get the same results. can anyone help? [02:31] !zh | zh [02:31] Xecuter, where do i find that script? [02:31] zh: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [02:31] Uplink: then re-install your AC97 codec after it finishes the updates. [02:31] i only need 1 package [02:31] matt12... may i PM you... alot of offtopic going on in here... but i would like a few more min with you. [02:32] compizfusion-package-manager [02:32] think [02:32] Anyone have a laptop recommendation? [02:32] Xecuter, oh i see it [02:32] Malik_: figure out what package had to be downloaded, copy it.. [02:32] compiz-configsetting-manager i mean [02:32] dangelo: If you want wireless help, best way to start is to give your wireless chipset, which you can find by doing "sudo lshw -C network" in a terminal. [02:32] my apologizes to the rest of the room [02:32] zeeeee: in amarok... in one of the menus there is a thing called script handler or something... don't know what it is in englis [02:32] i can't find a link to that to download [02:32] AaronH, ok, ALSA restarted [02:32] tj83 yes [02:32] zeeeee: youll find it there... [02:32] Xecuter, beautiful, thanks! [02:32] DaveG|: you got another computer on your lan you can test speed from, not your uplink to the internet? [02:32] TBotNik, ok ty [02:32] Uplink, now test your sound to see if it works... play an mp3 or something [02:32] zeeeee: np ;( [02:33] zeeeee: woops, ;) [02:33] Malik_: somewhere in /etc/apt/cache/ .. just copy it to the same place on the other computer.. you'll need sudo to write there though [02:33] jimcooncat, it's a wireless modem. i have no lan [02:33] o so thats already on the computer to [02:33] AaronH, nope :( [02:33] ubuuntu i mean [02:33] DaveG|: ok. mine has four ports that's why I asked. [02:34] jimcooncat, i don't mean a router [02:34] I had the SAME problem last time... i had to modprobe the modules... but this time i did and nothing happens... i think im doing something wrong or modprobing the wrong module [02:34] can anyone help me? grub is not starting if i boot from my sata disk! what can it be? [02:34] Uplink, and you have checked your volume and made sure your sound is not muted? [02:34] jimcooncat, i mean an actual wireless usb modem that connects to 3G [02:34] Uplink: I do not know how to get the attention of the kernal builder, but by now the AC97 codec should be in the kernal releases. You figure out how to get their attention and a bunch of us will put in our two cents, on it so they'll make it a priority for next release. Oh don't forget to advertise it here and on forums if you get their attention, so we can all chime in. [02:34] Malik_: yeah, it will be in the apt cache on the computer you already installed it on.. put it in the same palce on the other one and then 'install' it the same way, it will see it already has the package and won't need to download it. [02:34] DaveG|: I would call the provider and have them test -- or is that not an option? [02:35] I've got a uniden GPS unit here, with a USB interface.. in windows it comes up as a USB serial port and I can dump the GPS data into hyperterm.. But I can't seem to get Ubuntu to recognise it at all; it shows up in lsusb but that's about all... any suggestions? [02:35] wat i only hav one ubuntu computer? [02:35] is ther anyone here with Toshiba laptop ? [02:35] .. can I even run the windows usb drivers in a wrapper? [02:35] jimcooncat, well the device isn't supported for linux, but it does run on it. so they may just give me some crap about "oh y'ure using an unsupported os" [02:35] and thats the only one with internet [02:35] AC97 drivers work great here [02:36] hi, is it possible to create a 3TB filesystem with ext3 with the standard ubuntu desktop kernel? [02:36] YAY! [02:36] WORKS NOW :D [02:36] what did you have to do Uplink? [02:36] DaveG|: not if they plug in their own laptop into it to test [02:36] Uplink: Good great listening!! [02:36] modprobe snd-ac97 [02:36] hello all, i could use some help with changing my video driver, how do i change to my intel 915 driver? [02:36] lol [02:36] the codec [02:37] hmmm.. nobody here ever has answers for the questions I ask :( [02:37] hey guys, thank you for all your help! :D [02:37] zcat[1]: a bit bussy [02:37] gorio me [02:37] zcat[1]: get a better usb stick, all I have work fine r/w [02:37] need some help changing my video driver [02:37] how do you end a process? [02:37] please [02:37] LimCore: wt? Did you read the question? Uniden GPS unit.. [02:37] i've never had a usb stick that doesn't work [02:37] zcat[1]: Hey they sometime need time to think about it. Was going to ask what do you think you need a driver or just tty to the box? [02:37] Junkie: what card do you have [02:37] AcornAcorn: in a terminal: kill pid-of-process [02:37] Sergeant_Pony, could i open pvt with you ? [02:38] LimCore: laptop, need to enable 915 chipset [02:38] zcat[1]: right, I ment somethinh else [02:38] gorio ok [02:38] Junkie: i810 driver [02:38] AcornAcorn: or use System > Administration > System Monitor [02:38] LimCore: no, 915 for the hack... [02:38] 1200x900 [02:38] TBotNik: well, other USB-serial devices show up as /dev/ttyUSB0 or some such.. this one just isn't recognised at all.. the USB-serial chip is all inside the GPS no nothing I can do about that [02:39] zcat[1]: Did you go through a manual "mount" of the device? [02:39] Junkie: the driver for i915 is called i810 [02:39] TBotNik: How? It's USB serial not USB Storage... [02:39] LimCore: need to use 915 because my res needs to be 1200x900, and the driver is specially made for my notebook, its 915 check the package manager [02:40] Can anyone help me with fixing my screen resolution, something with install the drivers to this:" VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter" [02:40] zcat[1]: Remember if Linux does not pre-recognize the device, then a manual mount is in order. [02:40] how can I play a DVD from an .iso file? [02:40] Junkie: ok so its something new. I dont know then [02:40] LimCore: what is the cmd to get to changing it? [02:40] LimCore: thats all i need [02:40] Palomides: try running it in vlc or mplayer ; if not, then you can setup a loop - losetup [02:40] Palomides: Yes - mount the iso file and then open the directory (with say VLC player) [02:41] TBotNik: it's supposed to show up as a serial port and when you open the port it's dumping GPS data... it's not a USB Mass-storage device, it's a USB serial port. [02:41] Can anyone help me with fixing my screen resolution, something with install the drivers to this:" VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter"??

[02:57] grubdub: OK, so you installed ubuntu32 and ubuntu64 on different partitions, and installed grub on both of them too? [02:57] For example if I sat the block-size to 1Mb [02:57] AaronH: thanks, i got it... [02:57] STSX: yeah, I sorta did. [02:57] salimfadhley, it would be much quicker to replicate the partition schema and then just copy the files to each partition [02:57] but I'm not sure if I pointed it to the right partitions [02:58] I really want an exact duplicate [02:58] grubdub: OK, so what do you get when you try to boot up?

[02:59] yes, but can I not adjust the block-size in the DD command [02:59] ragazzi ho un problemino su kubuntu:il cubo rotante ha solo 2 facce [02:59] halloween_: at the moment there's two partitions where menu.lst is present [02:59] Which one should I edit, and how do I edit it in a way where things don't mess up [02:59] (or do I have to reinstall ubuntu again :( [03:00] grubdub, always make a backup of stuff that you edit :-) [03:00] for example, is there any harm to setting bs=1Mb [03:00] can someone give me a quick explanation of what the 's' in directory modes refers to? [03:00] Jangari: s = sticky [03:00] Can anyone help me with fixing my screen resolution, something with install the drivers to this:" VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter" [03:00] yes, what does that mean, Starnestommy? [03:01] grubdub: You first need to figure out which partition has control of the MBR, so you can then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and get both partitions listed on bootup. [03:01] Kakura... a look around google shows that there isnt any support for your card at this time... atleast from what i have found [03:01] Jangari: that's a window type, sticky = available on all your virtual dekstops or workspaces [03:01] STSX that's where I'm confused. I'm not sure which one is [03:01] AFAIK, the master drive is the only one that needs to be correct. It's been a while since I've done this. Looking some things up now. [03:01] I know which drive is in control [03:01] but not which partition [03:01] Jangari: files in that directory can only be deleted or moved by the directory's owner, root, or the file's owber [03:01] *owner [03:01] and the partitions are all on the same drive anyway [03:01] Jangari: it's explained in man chmod" [03:02] Its just that I'm not very sure how to fix it. [03:02] lspci shows a "03:03.0 Ethernet controller: ADMtek NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (rev 08)" but it isn't showing up as eth1..

And do I Just do "modprobe driver" ? === emma is now known as emmma [03:02] oh, another question, my menu.lst appears to have three entries for 8.04, for some reason. What's the command to fix the menu.lst [03:02] ? [03:02] grubdub: I know there's an easy way to determine that from the Grub shell, but I don't know the commands. So what I would do is just edit the menu.lst on one of your partitions, and if it changes the boot menu, you know that's the one. Otherwise change the other. [03:02] thanks Starnestommy, that about answers my question [03:03] Jangari: you need to manually edit it [03:03] STSX: y'know the real problem here is determining which partition I installed the amd64 variant to >:D [03:03] i'm still concerned about how the other two entries for my installation actually occurred [03:03] Jangari: sorry for the confusion, read your sticky question in the wrong context [03:03] no worries, glitsj16 [03:03] Jangari: it could be an installer bug [03:04] Hey, I ws wondering if it was possible to make it so it doesnt run, resume (boots very fast when it does this) or w/e, when its booting, cauz it messes up my ndiswrapper [03:04] slyf: make it so that what doesn't run?

[03:14] wormz, I'd recommend 64-bit. [03:14] tj83 no i havenot because I'm not certain how to do that, ive only used kubuntu a month [03:15] it didn't work [03:15] Ahadiel: Though I assume the Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T9300 is 32 bit, does that cause a problem?

[03:15] glitsj16: it's integrated on the motherboard [03:15] wormz, The Core 2 Duo can support both 64 and 32-bit OSes. [03:15] wormz: No, it's 64bit. Well, it can be either, I suppoes that's a better way to put it [03:15] tempest: You probably need to lspci or hwinfo or look through the xorg log to find the bus-ID of the add-on card. Then add that busid to the device section of the xorg.conf file. [03:15] Ow, sweet action [03:15] i need help using chroot if i boot with a knoppix cd how dow i access my drives [03:15] the motherboard manual claims it is ... "Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 integrated" [03:15] mythomaniac: type "which firestarter" and what's the output? [03:15] wormz: just check to see if what you need to run does so under 64 bit [03:16] tempest ... save a copy of xorg.conf as xorg.conf.old so you can revert back if x doesnt boot... you will have to use a terminal editor like nano in the event it doesnt boot back... use "lspci" to get the bus ID.. you would have to find out what driver for your card.. id dont know... I use ATI [03:16] seems that ubuntu has not detected it properly? [03:16] if you update the /etc/modules file, do you have to reboot to have system see the changes?

[03:19] Uplink: you can do what you want but if your data is valuable to you get a new drive they are very reasobale now [03:19] Uplink: however, i believe that there is a possible workaround with marking those sectors as being bad so that the HDD doesn't use them [03:19] STSX: want me to use pastbin and post it? [03:19] Ok, i looked into it, for some reason ndiswrapper sometimes, doesnt work randomly, like, 1/10 or so boots [03:20] Uplink: DIL has the better option though, unless you ABSOLUTELY need this HDD [03:20] mythomaniac: sure.

Essentially, I am writing something that accepts TELNET connections as the means of communicating with users .. I've been looking at the telnetd sources to figure out how to turn on and off local echo on the client systems at will, but can't seem to find where it does it .. Is anyone here familiar with telnetd ? [03:24] Lynet: Am I supposed to do anything after I modprobe the driver?

From the message it sounds like the driver finds the card but the card isn't properly initialized or something. and according to google the tulip driver should be the right one for that card. [03:27] ? [03:27] hey all [03:27] :) [03:27] STSX: yes it was in sbin, let me reboot and see if it works now - man now i feel like a nub... [03:27] Lynet: Aye. Maybe I'll buy another card.

[03:58] DJ_Cranky: there wasn't one! The C68 driver apparently does, I am going to test it soon. [03:58] DJ_Cranky, the touch screen [03:58] DJ_Cranky: there wasn't one! The C68 driver apparently does, I am going to test it soon. [03:59] matt444, yes, with the find command then pipe that to grep [03:59] Flannel: Where would the Hoary distro be on that site? (looking through a lot of folders) [03:59] DJ_Cranky, the touchscreen on a hP tx1340ea that is tx1000 series. [03:59] hey guys ... i want to upgrade my 6.06 LTS to 8.04 LTS. but when i am doing a "do-release-upgrade" then i get "No new release found"... [03:59] Gaming4JC: You need a CD? or just the repo? [03:59] confuded hmm, it doesnt work now? [03:59] just the repo [03:59] displayconfig-gtk does not save the detections [03:59] I have the right video card and monitor resolution [03:59] I need the compiler deb for it [03:59] But it is not saving i [03:59] +it [03:59] read what link? [03:59] qos ubuntu 8.04 is not a pre-release anymore, it is a live release [03:59] DJ_Cranky, no. Hardy still does not have them. it is the Egalax drivers. The version 2.0 beta works on Hardy. [03:59] Gaming4JC: for your sources.list, the url would be http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ === narg_ is now known as narg [03:59] DJ_Cranky, thoug I cant find it! [03:59] DJ_Cranky, that means? [03:59] okay this bttv thing is getting annoying [04:00] ok [04:00] but 'em [04:00] how do I get online to that in Ubuntu without a modem, Flannel? [04:00] qos just use the update manager, it should automate it for you [04:00] Gaming4JC: deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary main, for instance. [04:00] ok... [04:00] Transmission has like no documentation. What's the deal with the yellow and blue bar in the main window? The yellow is longer that the blue. I have no idea what they mean. [04:00] Gaming4JC: ah, You need the packages themselves. [04:00] DJ_Cranky, There is no XServer on this machine. So, there is no gui for my [04:00] me [04:00] Gaming4JC: download packages to a thumbdrive and install manually with dpkg. [04:00] Flannel: YES :) [04:01] Gaming4JC: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ [04:01] ah ok [04:01] Gaming4JC: nah, just go to packages.ubuntu.com and you can download packages from there. [04:01] looking... [04:01] anyone here can help me with a lan card issue i'm having? I've installed a ethernet card for my LAN, which requires me to give it static ip. when I try to ping the server, I get destination host unavilable, although all the other members on my LAN are able to do so. Any ideas why? [04:01] !aptfix | daves111 (what about this?) [04:01] daves111 (what about this?): 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 » [04:01] cellofellow: I have Hoary. Doesn't exist there. [04:01] :( [04:01] ok [04:01] Hoary, huh? [04:01] yes [04:02] older distro [04:02] I guess updates are painful without internet. [04:02] qos: do you have dapper-updates enabled? (and are you up to date? [04:02] Gaming4JC: which packages are you looking for? [04:02] the compiler tools [04:02] umm... let me see [04:02] anyone got experience setting up a wintv go in ubuntu please message me or just say my name, I'm trying to get this thing to work with mythtv [04:02] Gaming4JC: they're on the CD. Do you have your install Cd? [04:02] anyone? with experience in ethernet card configurations? [04:03] build-essential. It's not on my CD (I have OpenCD version) [04:03] Gaming4JC: What on earth is the open CD version? [04:03] Flannel, look yourself. http://de.pastebin.ca/1035536 i think yes ... [04:03] Flannel: http://www.theopencd.org/ [04:03] older site [04:04] anyone know a good way to print an image as 4"x6" on a certain spot on the paper in ubuntu? Or maybe even print more than one image at a time on one sheet of paper? [04:04] daves111: the message you got from ubot3 is !aptfix [04:04] Howdy [04:04] (easily that is) [04:05] I'm looking to mount my NTFS (laptop) to my Ubuntu (desktop). I have SMB running on this computer (ubuntu) for the server [04:05] is there a good link I should be looking at? [04:05] Gaming4JC: That doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Hoary wasn't available as an open CD version as far as I know. [04:05] or is it just a simple command? [04:05] hi, could someone help me get java web plugin working on hardy? [04:06] just upgraded, and firefox is not detecting it even though its installed [04:06] qos: `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` gives you what? [04:06] showyoudawei: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-plugin [04:06] hey could someone tell me how to find the partitioner in 8.04 after your done with installing? [04:06] Flannel, you know that i want to upgrade from 6.06 to 8.04? [04:06] i would like to resize my partition but i cant find it... [04:06] Flannel: Well perhaps unoffical. But it's a nice Live CD. and when I type `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade` it says cannot connect to server [04:06] I know this is the wrong place to ask, but I'm buying a new computer, and I want to benchmark the one I have now. What are some benchmarking tools I can use, that can be compared with the "vista experience index" on new computers? [04:06] cellofellow: thanks, does aptitude break stuff though? that's just what i've heard so i've avoided it [04:06] qos: I do. You have to be up to date with dapper to upgrade to Hardy [04:07] i tried installing that package using apt-get but that says its outdated [04:07] showyoudawei: just use synaptic then [04:07] Gaming4JC: right, because the mirrors for Hoary have been offline for 18 months now. [04:07] there is a way to upgrade directly from lts to lts... see here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardyUpgrades#head-e059d5452a24b50d09c64df48058ef2d834eb197-2 [04:07] does anyone know how i can run the partitioner in 8.04? [04:08] qos: Right. You need to be up to date with dapper to upgrade to Hardy [04:08] cellowfellow: synaptic has no record of that plugin [04:08] hi ! Do you know how to configure the terminal to put 4 spaces per tab (a tab has 8 spaces at default). Thanks a lot for your help [04:08] brando1: gparted [04:08] showyoudawei: enable multiverse and reload [04:08] Flannel: Well, perhaps. But I also can't get online at all remember? I need some one to compile that modem driver... -_- [04:08] yes flannel, i cant seem to find it in my system menu [04:08] why is that [04:08] i'll try that, thank you [04:08] Flannel, so, for what is that do-release-upgrade thing for? [04:08] erh, multiverse is enabled [04:08] brando1: "Gnome Partition Editor" you may need to install it. gparted is the package name === Joeb454 is now known as Joeb454|Sleeping [04:09] qos: Once you've updated, to go from dapper to hardy [04:09] Hardy Heron, or Dapper Drake, ? [04:09] !away > Joeb454|Sleeping [04:09] so it comes in the livecd but it doesnt install? thats odd [04:09] here's what it said: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:09] Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package. [04:09] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [04:09] is only available from another source [04:09] E: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate [04:09] so what is the command for getting gparter do you know? [04:09] showyoudawei: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:09] I mean: sudo: unable to resolve host daves111-desktop [04:09] [sudo] password for daves111: [04:09] sudo: pam_authenticate: Conversation error [04:09] sudo: unable to resolve host daves111-desktop [04:09] [sudo] password for daves111: [04:09] daves111: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:09] Flannel, am i stupid? why isn't there anything from this in the tutorial? [04:09] Gaming4JC: Yes, if you had a proper CD, you could grab it form the CD, you'll have to grab it from that repo manually, and then grab all the depends too. [04:10] hey guys, any suggestion for the best console browser ? [04:10] Flannel: So you mean it is on that site some where? hmm.. looking still [04:10] qos: Up at the top, "be sure you have all upgrades applied to your current release" [04:10] Hello, I installed ubuntu using the Wubi installer on my Acer Aspire 5520. Unfortunatly my wireless doesnt work and my resolution settings are maxed out at 800x600. I am not sure what I should do now. [04:11] yell0w I like links [04:11] Flannel, exactly. I have all updates of 6.06... because YOUR CURRENT release === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid [04:11] yaris12346789, xubuntyu is just ubuntu with Xfce instead of gnome. [04:11] yell0w, elinks [04:11] how do you make the response to someone in yellow? [04:11] daves111: say their nick [04:11] showyoudawei: what version of Ubuntu are you running? [04:11] like? [04:11] ok Ashfire harriseldon tx [04:11] Starnestommy [04:11] hardy [04:11] Dave123, like this. [04:12] daves111: yes [04:12] Gaming4JC: That site is what apt gets packages from, yes. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/build-essential/ for instance is where you'd grab build-essential. Whichever version Hoary had [04:12] hardy w/ 64 bit processor [04:12] Flannel: Thnx. :) [04:12] so it looks yellow to you? [04:12] qos: that's what sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade does. I wanted to be sure. [04:12] bushy beaver with a P2450mhz, 128mb of RAM [04:12] the plugin worked fine in gutsy on my 32 bit laptop [04:12] Ok, this was working fine before one of the updates in the past week. I can't get pon/pppd to run a certain script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ no matter what I do. [04:12] showyoudawei: ok, so sun-java6-plugin *should* be available. [04:12] daves111: it does, but only if my nick is in the message [04:12] thanks for the help with Gparter Flannel [04:12] Stupid client. [04:12] later [04:12] Starnestommy like this ... eh? === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:13] showyoudawei: have you made sure Multiverse repo is enabled and your cache is up to date? [04:13] you have to type it each time? [04:13] what do you prefer, vmware or virtualbox? [04:13] daves111: or type the first couple letters of my nick, then press the tab key [04:13] yes, multiverse is enabled, and i've reloaded [04:13] wers: virtualbox [04:13] Flannel, ok. but won't start "apt-get dist-upgrade" a upgrade to 7.04 or something like that? [04:13] qos: No. [04:13] Starnestommy: oh ... cool === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [04:13] showyoudawei: well, this is just weird [04:13] qos: That just gets all of your packages up to date. [04:14] Starnestommy: I haven't done much of this [04:14] cellofellow, why? [04:14] Flannel: The link you just gave only back to version 10. Hoary is version 5.04 if I'm not mistaken... :s [04:14] hi guys [04:14] Flannel, ok. i see there is a error in my understanding of this process ;) [04:14] wers: easy to set up, friendly interface, speedy, useful features like session saving and snapshots. [04:14] Starnestommy: still don't know what to do about the updates freezing up [04:14] how do i change the hostname in terminal? [04:15] Hi. I'm trying to resize my ubuntu partition with gparted, can I do that while ubuntu is running or do I need to use a live cd? [04:15] is it possible to run my computer as SSH/HTTPD server on xubuntu very easily ? [04:15] Andre_Fiuza: sudo hostname newname, and change /etc/hostname for it to change at boot. [04:15] hello,guys here,i am using kubuntu now,but every time i power on my computer ,i must restart x ,or the desktop will not wok,anyone has the same problem [04:15] Andre_Fiuza: and change /etc/hosts [04:15] let me try [04:15] Gaming4JC: Those are package versions, you'll have to cross reference with http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [04:15] Hey: Who knows the command for stopping (join/part) for xchat? [04:16] Xcell: xchat-gnome or regular xchat? [04:16] Gaming4JC: for instance, build-essential has a version of 10.1ubuntu1 [04:16] regular [04:16] I can't get pon/pppd to run a certain script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/ [04:16] Xcell: right-click on the channel tab and uncheck "show join/quit messages" [04:16] can i resize my ubuntu partition while running ubuntu? if so, how? [04:16] Ah ok, Flannel. :) [04:16] hey everyone! [04:16] hi [04:16] I have a ubuntu problem! [04:16] brando1: no [04:16] :P [04:16] ok tx Starnestommy [04:16] I have no cgi-bin! [04:16] so then how do i resize? [04:16] I can't find it! [04:16] brando1: you have to use a livecd [04:16] It is just gone! [04:16] Say, I just downloaded the latest updates for 7.1.0 and it appears to have messed up my time display. [04:17] qos: So, pastebin the output you get from sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:17] ok thanks [04:17] bye [04:17] I need to put something in my cgi-bin! [04:17] * baloogan is missing a cgi-bin [04:17] man.. 2 dang simple.. i feel dumb now..lol [04:17] baloogan: the cgi-bin directory is in /usr/share, I think [04:17] okay [04:17] um [04:17] I don't have a /usr/share/cgi-bin [04:17] baloogan: try /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ [04:18] hi [04:18] okay I have that [04:18] I visited the forums to get resolution fo rmy issue with getting my wireless working. But the instructions I found required access to the internet to get some file at madwifi. how do I do that without internet access within ubuntu? [04:18] My time is displaying five hours earlier than it really is. I am set up for ntp. It is evidently reading the server, subtracting five hours for the time zone, and then subtracting five hours again. I am 5 hrs behind GMT not 10 hrs. [04:18] Starnestommy: I was close. :) [04:18] can someone help me - my updates won't update - just freeze [04:18] is there someone that is in charge to create packages? [04:18] I used Wubi-8.04 to install ubuntu and then booted it up. it booted no probs and asked me to update alot of stuff (gfx Driver) was one of them, then it asked me to reboot but after that i can still boot it up but i cant see anything and my screen turns off. does anyone know how i can fix this? [04:18] fale_: #ubuntu-motu [04:18] Flannel: :) thx === Dutt|Away is now known as Dutt [04:18] greetings friends, i have strange problem... a friend gave me a cd-r which has pictures... that is what he says..i looked at it and i see the burn marks behind it, so i know something is on the cd... but when i pop it into computer it says its just a blank cd-r [04:19] timezone is correctly listed as America/Chicago but time is incorrect as outlined above. [04:19] Flannel, http://de.pastebin.ca/1035546 === fale_ is now known as fale [04:20] does virtualbox require high system specs? i have 1.5ghz celeron M and 512MB ram [04:20] wers: that'd barely work [04:20] can someone help me - my updates won't update - just freeze [04:20] any ideas about my clock problem? This was not happening before I took the updates. [04:20] qos: alright, uh, apt-cache policy update-manager-core [04:20] do you think, it's worth trying? [04:20] wers: works much better with >=2 cores and 1GB ram. [04:20] wers: I've run it on less acceptably. [04:21] how about if I run some windows XP lite? [04:21] wers: I was nutty enough to use it on a 450Mhz Pentium III. [04:21] Flannel, http://de.pastebin.ca/1035549 [04:21] wers: maybe the EeePC version? [04:21] what happened when you did that, cellofellow [04:21] ? [04:21] tj83: id you test the compiz? [04:21] how do i view data from cd.. when it says its blank [04:22] Speaking of VirtualBox, I plan to install it once I get the new distro. I have 2GB Memory, AMD 64 processor, and a SATA-II, but what I'm wondering is if it will work, can you install things into the guest OS? (Such as swapping files back and forth from host to guest os) [04:22] wers: it ran sort of slowly, like everything else on that computer. Made it imposible to run Firefox. [04:22] cellofellow, that's what i'm talking about [04:22] Gaming4JC: yes, there's a Shared Folders feature for sharing files from guest to host. [04:22] qos: Alright, that looks good. sudo do-release-upgrade still gives you an error? [04:22] Awesome. :) [04:22] cellofellow, i only want to run it for me to sync my sony ericsson mobile phone with the pc suite. you think, it can run the app? [04:23] Flannel, still "No new release found" [04:23] Has anyone tried Paint.NET inside virtualbox with WinXP? (That'd be awesome) [04:23] g`day folks [04:23] hello all [04:23] wers: should be fine. VirtualBox lets you passthrough the USB connections with the proprietary version from Sun. [04:23] qos: Alright, we'll just.. ignore that and do it manually. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-standard ubuntu-minimal linux-[whatever arch, 686, 386, whatever] [04:24] Has anyone installed DB2 Connect V8.2 on 32 bit ubuntu? [04:24] tried suggestion - got this: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [04:24] Flannel, will install a xserver right? [04:24] qos: No [04:24] cellofellow, thanks. that would stop me from thinking of dualbooting or ditching linux. haha! i should've bought a palm device instead. hehe [04:24] I'm trying to mount an ntfs volume, but I get "Cannot mount the volume | Unable to mount the volume". I've been able to previously mount this same HD once before in this same system. It's an external HD connecting via USB. [04:25] i mean this: sudo: unable to resolve host [04:25] !hostname | daves111 [04:25] daves111: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [04:25] wers: or a Nokia N800. [04:25] cellofellow, does that sync well? [04:25] btw do DirectX games work in VirtualBox? (Specifically a racing game called Re-Volt) [04:25] wers: it's a linux "internet tablet". [04:25] i'm waiting for ubuntu-powered mobile phones [04:26] Gaming4JC: nope [04:26] :s [04:26] babolat what have tried so far? [04:26] cellofellow, yeah but that doesnt mean that it has a linux syncing app just like linux-powered motorolas [04:26] wers: that's coming, and ubuntu-powered UMPCs a la EeePC. [04:26] whats up room! Question? whats a mac address and what are they used for? sorry if im off topic [04:26] wers: it does, though. [04:26] How can I play DirectX games on Linux then. (I heard WINE had something)...? [04:26] yeah. still waiting for those [04:26] Can I please have some help with run-parts (in reference to pppd's use of it for ip-up.d and ip-down.d)? [04:27] harriseldon: i haven't edited fstab yet if that's what you mean. i dunno what to put in [04:27] qos: once we've done that, go through your sources.list and change the dapper's to hardy's [04:27] Gaming4JC: wine has partial Direct3D support. Windows games that use OpenGL work almost perfectly [04:27] TheNerdGotchU: MAC addresses are used for Ethernet (below the IP level) and AFAIK are like serial numbers or ISBNs, each NIC has one that is its alone. [04:27] hmm... [04:27] babolat if is is USB you should not need to. Have you tried to mount it from the command line? [04:28] Gaming4jc, I personally haven't had much luck with wine when it comes to games released more recently. I've only been able to get games to run well using cedega, but it's a paid software. www.transgaming.com [04:28] what's the command, harriseldon? [04:28] ok blingham. :) [04:28] Flannel, whats about the linux-? package? Linux beer 2.6.15-51-server #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 17:12:18 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux [04:28] Gaming4JC: Cedega and CrossOver Games apparently have wider Direct3D support. [04:28] I already installed "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin" but I am getting error message in Firefox 2 that there are no plugins [04:28] :-/ hmm [04:28] !ntfs | babolat [04:28] babolat: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [04:28] ashame they cost so much [04:28] Linux shoulld be free [04:29] qos: sudo apt-get install linux-686 [04:29] Is there something else I need to do to link java to firefox? [04:29] reading fonts in the console is easier than the terminal [04:29] qos: Oh, sorry. Uh, linux-686-server [04:29] says bash: somehostname: command not found [04:29] Gaming4JC: That attitude is a little misconstrued. I think Linux ought to be Free but not neccarily free. (as in libre and gratis). [04:29] wrong window :) [04:29] Gaming4jc, it is - the softare isn't ;) I will say though, that I've had games like Medal of Honor, World of Warcraft and City of Heroes running perfectly using Cedega. If you're a hardcore gamer and you want to use GNU/Linux, it's worth saving for. imho of course ;) === emmma is now known as emma [04:30] qos: sorry. Havne't done Dapper in a while, linux-server [04:30] * blingham agrees with cellofellow [04:30] * cellofellow thought that WINE made it a point to support WoW. [04:30] Flannel, a last question? is this process save? because there is still the open question why a regular upgrade doesn't work?! [04:30] qos: also, if you have like apache2 installed, make sure you have the "apache2" package (there's no reason why you'd delete this) [04:30] or this: bash: !hostname: event not found [04:31] cellofellow, to be honest I'm not certain. I've been off of WoW for sometime now.. I got the patch.. *bad pun* [04:31] is it possible to use windows vista's partition with xubuntu ? [04:31] qos: this process is completely safe. We could be tracking down a number of reasons as to why update-manager-core doesn't recognize the new thing, but this is much quicker, and just as safe, yes. [04:31] yaris12346789: I think so, but you can't install xubuntu on it [04:31] saving for? I thought Cedega was like 5-10 dollars a month, not so bad [04:31] is there any distro that allows me to do this ? [04:31] !ntfs | yaris12346789 [04:31] yaris12346789: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [04:32] !hostname | daves111 [04:32] daves111: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts .

Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [04:32] yaris12346789: you could use wubi [04:32] is that a distro ? [04:32] Hmm, well I always thought as Red Hat Linux being a bit traderous. Considering they charged for an OS alreadly largely built from free software. I think the same should be true for all Linux Software, freedom! :D Although I might look into Cedega... [04:32] daves111: Read what ubot3 says, it wasn't telling you to use the "!hostname" command in bash [04:32] oh [04:32] i c [04:32] gwern, it isn't so bad.. but that depends on your situation ;) If you're a young H.S. student w/o $$ it's a bit much /month :) [04:32] Besides, DirectX for Wine http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1051 free ;) [04:32] qos: also, if you have like apache2 installed, make sure you have the "apache2" package (there's no reason why you'd delete this under normal operation) [04:33] Flannel, thanks. i checked this already. take a look at this ... http://de.pastebin.ca/1035558 [04:33] Flannel: how do I find hostname [04:34] daves111: just type "hostname" in the terminal [04:34] qos: you wouldn't want --devel-release, Hardy is final now. [04:34] Gaming4jc, whatever works.. that's what I say :) You may end up needing a combination of a few solutions to get all of your games working. Only game I haven't been able to get working is M$ Flight Simulator X (go figure... ) ;) - but I've found Linux replacements since ;) [04:34] Flannel: says desktop [04:34] Flannel, but it is working. isn't it just a normal hardy? [04:34] daves111: then that would be your hostname [04:34] qos: No, the development release is Intrepid. [04:35] daves111: without qoutes 'hostname whateveryouwantthenametobe' [04:35] blingham, you've found a replacement to MS flight simulator? gief!! :P [04:35] Flannel, but it checks the hardy.tar.gz [04:35] I like FlightGear. [04:35] Yes [04:35] qos: shrug. Perhaps it knows better. Anyway, if its working thats fine. Why did you have an issue then? [04:35] FlightGear is pretty awesome, IMO. :) [04:36] hey === jonathan_ is now known as frsandstone77 [04:36] Also the Google Earth flight simulator is pretty fun. [04:36] hey there guys [04:36] lol I was using something that I found in the repos.. took a while to get it working properly, but worked well. Hasn't worked since I went Hardy back in April, but I havne't had time to play with it either... I tink it may hvae been FlightGear [04:36] ive got a problem with my external hard drive [04:36] says hostname: you must be root to change the host name [04:37] daves111: then sudo hostname NEWHOSTNAME [04:37] hello? [04:37] frsandstone77: What's the problem? [04:37] kk [04:37] i'll give you the exact error [04:37] If it's long, use a pastebin [04:37] hmm... anyone know if there is a patch and/or if Re-Volt is supported on one of the emulators? (Cedegna said it wasn't supported yet) [04:37] unable to mount volume 'Freeagent Drive'. [04:38] * cellofellow didn't get the puzzled questions when he mentioned a Google Earth flight simulator he was expecting. [04:38] hi guys, i put ubuntu on my laptop and am having trouble getting on my wireless network here at the house [04:38] Flannel, i appreciate your pain :), but there are some reasons i am worring about with this upgrade. i am wondering that it doesn't work as it should. and if it would be so easy with your methode, so why did they do it this way in the manual? === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as ThisServerSucks [04:38] question.. i'm running samba. i can see other pc's not in my home network. i cant access them but i dont know if they can access my machine. any ideas? [04:38] frsandstone77: How did you try to mount it? [04:38] i didnt [04:38] frsandstone77: Did you plug it in? [04:38] im not sure how to [04:38] qos: Because automation is safer if you don't know what you're doing (the script does what we would've done manually). [04:38] When will Gutsy not be supported? [04:38] yup [04:38] Chris|: October 2009 [04:38] tech0007: That is dependent on your /etc/samba/smb.conf [04:39] still says the same thing ... think I'll go cry myself to sleep [04:39] ah, alright thanks Starnestommy [04:39] frsandstone77: How is the volume formatted? NTFS? FAT? [04:39] ntfs [04:39] bye guys; thanks for talking [04:39] cya [04:39] xocite: i used the default smb.conf..anything i need to change? [04:39] Flannel, what the last pastebin mentioned was, that it will get started a new ssh server on a new port during the update and it is recommend to do this without ssh. [04:39] Hello. [04:39] !ntfs | frsandstone77 [04:39] frsandstone77: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubottu NTFS-3g or /msg ubottu FUSE [04:40] Hmm another thing I'be been meaning to ask, can you upgrade Ubuntu to latest build, or do you have to reinstall the whole OS each time a new version comes out? [04:40] tech0007: h/o, let me open mine [04:40] Do programs for linux support all GUIs? Like firefox, for example. I know that there is a verson that works on the KDE desktop environment, but would the one that I have on my gnome GUI be able to work on it? [04:40] xocite: ok thanks [04:40] qos: the traditional way requires manual editing of files, and stuff like that. But it still works, and was the way we've upgraded for a long time now. [04:40] samuel: yes [04:40] samuel: If I understood your question correctly [04:40] I'm facing _issues_ with gdm after clean install of Hardy Heron. Screen goes weird, can someone, please help? [04:40] Gaming4JC, apt-get dist-upgrade upgrades the whole system [04:40] samuel: any program that works on one desktop enviroment will usually work with the rest [04:40] samuel: the appearance may be a bit different but the functionality is the same [04:41] Flannel, did you try this with a 6.06 to a 8.04? [04:41] xocite: Thanks, I was just curious, for programming reasons. [04:41] ok, great Xecuter. :) How long would it take on Dial-Up though? :P [04:41] samuel: Now understood, KDE uses QT and gnome uses GTK [04:41] *understand [04:41] samuel: all the guis are compatible to a degree, looks and accessibility don't port from GNOME to KDE. [04:41] Gaming4JC, haha waaay to long:P [04:41] qos: Not on this box, but this box will be upgrading in the future, yes. [04:41] :P [04:41] Gaming4JC, but if your not paying by the hour, then go ahead ;) [04:41] \salvador [04:41] xocite: Yeah, I figured as much, as far as cross-GUI would be concerned. [04:42] tech0007: Can you post the default config for me to a pastebin so I can check it out? [04:42] Flannel, ok thanks for your patience. but i think i have to slept about this for a while ^^ [04:42] sudo mount sdc1 [04:42] tech0007: I'm using a different distro. [04:42] xocite: Thanks for the confirmation on that. Time to figure out what I want to make now ^_^ [04:42] samuel: running a GTK app in KDE is like running one in Windows. It works, just looks weird. [04:42] grrr why isnt fdisk seeing this drive [04:42] samuel: np [04:43] yowshi did you check dmesg when you plugged it in? [04:43] tech0007: But otherwise, look in that file and see who the valid users are. If a share is not listed as public (public = yes) then no one can access it. [04:43] no [04:43] Hello, anyone know how to get the hardware specs (specially the laptop battries) using terminal????? [04:43] ah some kind of buffer i/o error [04:43] xocite: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/16115/ [04:44] question about installing apps and drivers. where will they be installed? [04:44] m_newton, lshw? [04:44] yowshi if it is usb, try another port. sometimes it is port specific [04:44] I have ubuntu installed on one of my laptop's harddrives, but it won't start up (i think something to do with me installing vista on the other HD). Is there a way to use the live CD to get a list of all applications/packages i had installed on that harddrive before i reinstall ubuntu? [04:44] Xecuter: Lucky I'm not paying by the hour. ;) But if I got to a highspeed place, is it possible to update the distro from a new CD (kinda like Windows Repair, exept for Ubuntu lol) [04:44] it's an ntfs drive so maybe it simply cant do it without a reboot === mindframe is now known as Guest68352 [04:44] Gaming4JC: yes, actually [04:44] m_newton, I'm not sure if it contains battery info, but you can use sudo apt-get install hwinfo - which will give you some commands you can use to get very detailed hardware information. [04:44] Gaming4JC: you can upgrade Ubuntu from the next-versions CD [04:44] Gaming4JC, heh that i dont know... i think you can download the cd and upgrade, not sure... [04:44] Gaming4JC, ah, there you see ;) [04:44] Gaming4JC: not the LiveCD, just the Alternate. [04:45] saintmagician....i think you can re-install grub and pick up your vista partition [04:45] thanks a lot! [04:45] lol ;) ... alternate? [04:45] Gaming4JC: it acts as a repo [04:45] m_newton, the lshw that Xecuter mentioned is installed with hwinfo as well :) [04:45] tj83: i tried that, but it won't work. When i try to boot from my second harddisk, the computer still tries to go into vista... [04:45] Gaming4JC: Or in your case, Breezys install CD [04:45] Gaming4JC: well, with Dapper they split into the "Desktop" Live CD and the "Alternate" text-install CD. [04:45] its just alot easier to do windows then ubuntu for the install. [04:45] okay I can get video in xawtv and tvtime, but I get no audio form thsi card, any ideas? [04:46] kk [04:46] tech0007: From what I can see, the only things that are shared are your printers. [04:46] tj83 how goes it with compiz fusion [04:46] Gaming4JC: LiveCD became Desktop (and added an installer), Install CD was renamed to Alternate CD (and didn't change) [04:46] so i can use the ubuntu live disk to access my ubuntu drive and everything is there. Isn't there a way to find a list of everything i've installed from that? [04:46] guys need help with ethernet card issues... all info provided here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5089364#post5089364 [04:46] tj83, what happened to Matt12 when i left? [04:46] like a dpkg --get-selections type list? [04:46] PCcertified... ok... Compiz so far so good.. i tinkered with the emerald theme manager a little. [04:46] xocite: i shared the public folder in my home directory. [04:46] the ntfs package isnt there [04:46] Flannel: So how would I update Hoary for exmaple with a new CD? [04:46] m_newton... got him straight. [04:47] (probably do a clean install, but just so I'll know) [04:47] m_newton... he is dual booting now. [04:47] Gaming4JC: download or buy or borrow a Breezy CD and upgrade from it. [04:47] tj83 with ubuntu? [04:47] tech0007: I don't see that in your configuration. [04:47] xocite: but the main question, is it normal to see other PC's not in the home network when using samba? i'm using wired connection [04:47] anyone? with any experience in ethernet cards, please help me resolve this issue : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5089364#post5089364 [04:47] Gaming4JC: and then you can do the same with Dapper, and from there to Hardy. [04:47] m_newton.... yes vista/ubuntu. [04:47] Flannel, last question: when i am installing a xserver on this machine. can i then use the GUI (update-manager)? would that solve my problem? [04:48] tj83 how bout wubi, hardy is supported now. All in all better solution for a windows usr [04:48] Anyone got experience setting up WinTV Go 878 with Ubuntu? I can get video with tvtime and xawtv but no audio, any help would be greatly apperciated [04:48] cellowfellow: So I just pop in the CD and it upgrades? O_o (doubt it's that easy) [04:49] Looks like I now have to buy, yet another, webcam to try with linux. Any suggestions on a list I can use to crosscheck the models that work with linux. [04:49] qos: That could solve your problem, it wouldn't necessarily. But, once you've upgraded to Hardy, your problem will be moot. [04:49] s_spiff, do you have to internet connections? [04:49] two* [04:49] m_newton.... i personally dont have any experience with wubi... and personally... i got rid of windows for a reason... so dont really care to explore it at this time.. [04:50] itsg works for me [04:50] Where can one download git? I was essentially told that any program worth its weight, can be installed from the package manager. Yet, i cannot find Git. Surely Git is WELL worth its weight.. so whats the deal? [04:50] Xecuter: nopes. one is for the internet connection.. the other is only for LAN [04:50] can someone help me, the NTFS configuation is not available from add/remove applications menu [04:50] s_spiff, oh okey, let me just read throug your post... [04:50] i have a legal vista copy sitting on my desk... i just like to stare at it and think of evil things about bill gates. [04:50] Xecuter: thanks. [04:50] Leefmc: sudo apt-get install git [04:51] * Gaming4JC yawn [04:51] Leefmc: #apt-get install git-core gitk git-gui git-doc curl [04:51] how i can restart my bluetooth lan? [04:51] tj83 ya. try vista home premium with 1 gb ram... :wild BlackSOD (automatic restart) all day long [04:51] s_spiff, 1. is your cable connected? :P lol [04:51] Leefmc: another way is... install the packages "git-core" & "git-gui" via package manager (Synaptic) [04:52] My PC came preloaded with Vista... I then cleaned the virus with Ubuntu :) *groans at his own lame joke* [04:52] Starnestommy, Ok, so pardon my ignorance. But why is git in there? If i go to add/remove, "git" is not found, nor is "git-core" [04:52] Xecuter: hehe yeah it is. i tested the setup on XP anyways, worked fine there :( [04:52] m_newton , when i am not so poor... i want to build a nice desktop.. and then i will dual with vista... so for now... paperweight and as poor as i am it will be there for a while. [04:52] Leefmc: because add/remove is just desktop stuff. [04:52] i'm running ubuntu 8.04, and from what I understand, it comes with ntfs support. How do i mount my drives? [04:52] s_spiff, hehe, can you pastebin lshw -C networking ? [04:52] Leefmc: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager is everything [04:52] Xecuter: okies.. hold on [04:52] m_newton i have home premium with 1gb also [04:52] Starnestommy, Ah! So, are they both "package managers" ?, but one is specialized towards desktop features? [04:53] is hardy a recommended upgrade or is there really no benefit if you already have a properly working gutsy install? [04:53] Starnestommy, That would explain the bit of confusion i've been having between the two. [04:53] s_spiff, sorry; lshw -C network [04:53] Aha! Hey guys you know anything about "PlayOnLinux"? http://www.linux.com/feature/128773 [04:54] y u be hating on a gangstA ASS NEGRO === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [04:54] supposedly plays tons of Windows gmaes...

Choose one action: [05:06] and i had the option to setup [05:06] Xecuter: any idea where i can find pppoe.conf? [05:06] i tried -o force.. still didnt work [05:06] ntfs FUSE module [05:06] asc ^ [05:06] s_spiff, /etc? [05:06] and i did it [05:06] PCcertified ... whats up? [05:06] Xecuter: lemme try.. :( [05:06] i am unable to get the wireless card driver from my laptop for ubuntu, any suggestions? [05:07] and now i get the following error when i plug in my removable disk: [05:07] Now there's an error I haven't seen before === krim_ is now known as krim [05:07] the volume 'freeagent drive" uses a file system which is not supported by your system [05:07] fvf burning software [05:07] sorry [05:07] any DVD burning software [05:08] hi.. i installed realplayer for linux, but playin .rmvb files, the video is soundless.. any clue for me? [05:08] frsandstone77: is it an ntfs volume? [05:08] yes [05:08] frsandstone77: please check in SYnaptic Package Manager is ntfs-3g is installed [05:09] where to i find synaptic package manager? [05:09] s_spiff, /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf ;) [05:09] (sorry first day with ubuntu) [05:09] frsandstone77: System > Administration [05:09] Xecuter: thanks got it.. googled it D: [05:09] frsandstone77: what Starnestommy [05:09] linux isn't easy to use at first [05:09] there's a lot to it [05:09] for a newb [05:09] frsandstone77: what Starnestommy said [05:09] babolat: he's using fuse, the problem is he is hot spwapping [05:09] do you have mediubuntu? [05:10] Xecuter: woah! that file is missing in my ppp directory! [05:10] PCcertified: nevertheless he still needs ntfs-3g [05:10] frsandstone, check this out http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=520 [05:10] it'll help u [05:10] s_spiff, yea in my to... thats maybe cus im not using it :P [05:10] babolat: Yeah, I've got nothing. Google just mentions the -o force thing, and you've already tried that. [05:10] damn Windows.. it broke my partitions [05:11] m_newton, medibuntu repositories? yes i do.. why? [05:11] dskduq, i'd love to learn all that, but first i'd like to make sure my removable disk is recognized [05:11] Hi are there any alternatives to flash for embedding video on a web page? I'm asking this because people using ubuntu are averse to flash embedded [05:11] ubuntunew atleast tell the channel what chipset it is [05:11] frsandstone77: babolat I did it with fuse and did not use ntfs-3g...but that was in debian, should work here too... [05:11] Xecuter: but thats whats used to setup a pppoe based connection, how can it be missing?? its used to configure the whole connection/lan card.. [05:11] yes, babolat, i do have ntfs -3g is checked [05:11] ok, asc... i'm trying to restart since the option i've added to fstab is for automatic mounting.. maybe it needs to boot [05:11] s_spiff, no its just used to configure pppoe [05:11] frsandstone77: this stuff is important to know in general [05:11] well that should have a way to play everything [05:11] to help you understand the system better [05:11] frsandstone77: then i dunno what's wrong.. i think PCcertified can help you more.. [05:12] kk [05:12] s_spiff, do you have any pppoe deamons in /etc/init.d/? [05:12] babolat: Well, it also says that you can try starting in windows and 'safely remove hardware'. If you have a windows install handy it might be worth a try. [05:12] pccertified? what you got for me =) [05:12] can you play anything else, is it a sound issue? [05:12] s_spiff, try stoping it if you do [05:12] Xecuter: umm.. i dunno.. how do i check that? [05:12] m_newton, i can play sound with another apps.. like mplayer, totem or vlc.. xmms, rythmbox.. [05:12] Hi anyone knows of a good case study site/book of software implementation? like implementing an stock/revenue control, bookshelf control software or something basic, like that. Im searching more of requirements of a given area, business needs. [05:12] s_spiff, ls /etc/init.d/ppp* [05:12] Something oriented to requirements analysis of small business/ companies needs. [05:13] pccertified, you there dude? [05:13] frsandstone77: type /join ##linux they can help you [05:14] Xecuter: only one ppp seems to be there... pppd-dns [05:14] How do I get Ubuntu to do autoconf for IPv6? [05:14] frsandstone77: check out http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ [05:14] ok... i am really out this time... PCcertified... m_newton... night and night to all. [05:14] did you try helix [05:15] bye tj83 [05:15] Xecuter: got it... its in /usr/sbin and its called pppoeconf... not pppoe.conf :D [05:15] alright pccertified i'll check it out, thank you [05:15] s_spiff, aah [05:15] frsandstone77: the last timeI did it was more than 6 months ago.. it's do-able but I don't remember the exact instructions [05:15] m_newton, no, i don't.. [05:16] m_newton, in a forum says that if i kill the esd process, realplayer recover sound capabilities [05:16] I got one for ya's.. I installed edubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu (via apt-get) to try it out.. I've now removed it (via apt-get), but the boot screen still says edubuntu and the interface is not standard ubuntu.. anyone know how to put it back? :) [05:16] frsandstone77: there are step by step instructions there and this is a more reliable way if you want to WRITE to the ntfs drive [05:16] I'm using HH and when I first installed ubuntu, I could connect to wifi networks, but now all of the sudden, I can't. Any ideas as to why? I think it started when I reinstalled my video drivers... [05:16] this is a realplayer for linux ... esd process? [05:16] blingham, what do you mean about interface? [05:16] Xecuter: i'll just restart X and check it out if it worked.. [05:17] s_spiff, mkey [05:17] m_newton, no, esd seems to be a kind of sound system for linux, like ALSA [05:17] pccertified: thank you very much for your help [05:17] i'll give it a go [05:17] try helix, sudo apt-get helix-player [05:18] m_newton, all right.. thank u [05:18] The icons are all different when you install edubuntu, when I removed, and restarted X, they didn't change back [05:18] as for killing an application for sound doesnt seem like a solution, srry if i wasnt much of a help [05:18] blingham, just the icons? [05:18] blingham, rightclick on the desktop and choose other icons ;) [05:19] Well, it's the icons, the logo used to the left of the applications menu, and the boot screen. [05:19] lol ;) that much I could have figured out lol I just figured there was more to it than that :) [05:19] m_newton, thanks anyway.. i agree with you, killing ESD doesn't seem the solution [05:19] no prob [05:20] It's not really a problem, everything still works the same way, but I thought there'd be a quick fix :) [05:20] Morph3us, you have audioproblems? [05:20] sudo apt-get purge edbunutu-desktop [05:20] can someone recommend a nice hardware monitor? I'm looking for something partially transparent I can dock on side of screen on only desktop [05:20] most important stats would be HDD space and cpu mem usage [05:21] m_newton, I'll give that a shot.. [05:21] PCcertified, conky, and also screenlets [05:21] Xecuter, no, i don't.. but i'm trying to reproduce .rmvb files with realplayer [05:21] hey guys, I installed virtualbox & it's moduals & then whenever I restarted my PC I am getting no sound & my monitars resalution is messed up & everything is in safe graphics mode. I uninstalled virtualbox & all of it's moduals, but yet things are still stuck like this, what do I do? [05:21] thanks Xecuter [05:21] I did this before & it happened & then I had an update & after the update everything was fixed, but the update uninstalled the virtualbox modulas, so I reinstalled them & then this happened again, but updates are not fixing it as my machine is up to date :p [05:21] Xecuter, and the video is showed perfectly but soundless [05:21] It made it so that gstreamer cannot detect my soundcard, & that it will not detect my monitar type. [05:21] the one that comes with ubuntu not good enough? [05:21] hey Michael_ [05:21] Morph3us, oh ok, try killing pulseaudio [05:22] before I installed & reinstalled the virtualbox moduals it detected everything fine [05:22] who was that guy helping me earlier with ntfs mounting ?? [05:22] it is called system monitor [05:22] m_newton, I did that.. but it just tells me that it's already removed. I removed it with sudo apt-get remove edubuntu-desktop... [05:22] hey do any of u guys know how to hack like facebook passwords? do any of you have any software for that? [05:22] m_newton: which one is that [05:22] o_O [05:22] lol [05:22] we are talking about the OS that runs it [05:22] Althought it doesn't run it anymore as I uninstalled VB [05:22] Xecuter, pulseaudio? this is safe? :S [05:22] !offtopic | Michael_ [05:22] Michael_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:22] Michael_: the room and this channel in general does not support malicious conduct [05:22] (yet another question) I have a question only an X ninja can answer... the window manager's crashed, but GIMP is still open and not crashed itself... Any way to restart x and keep the programs open? [05:22] administrator system manager [05:23] so none of you hackers have anything?? [05:23] Morph3us, yep, i do it myself, as pulseaudio resulted in totem not playing audio [05:23] I uninstalled & purged VB [05:23] My computer doesn't want to do IPv6 autoconf, how do I enable it/make it work? [05:23] i will pay [05:23] I am still trying to figure out what update fixed it last time :p [05:23] maybe it was a linux kernal or a grub update [05:23] What do you think? [05:23] system >administrator >system manager [05:23] !ot | Michael_ [05:23] Michael_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:23] Any help? [05:23] you just want to change the icons right [05:23] !google | Michael_ [05:23] Michael_: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [05:23] blingham, to change splash screen System>Preferences>Splash Screen. [05:24] Xecuter, it works! [05:24] meh. I wish gimp had sequential autosaves. >.< [05:24] !google | blingham [05:24] blingham: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [05:24] ;) [05:24] Morph3us, np ;) [05:24] wats the latest kernal for ubuntu [05:24] Xecuter, but what happend with system sounds? other player sounds? i must kill pulseaudio anytime i want to use realplayer ? (many questions eh?) [05:24] Xecuter: looks like i'm able to connect to the dc++ hubs.. but some issue. I'm still getting destination host ... [05:25] hi guys i keep getting i "dont have permission to save files or create user shares" how do i give myself permission [05:25] use sudo [05:25] Morph3us, other sounds should work fine, since they dont depend pulseaudio... i think pulseaudio is just crap [05:25] bing_, use sudo [05:25] try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [05:25] Xecuter: alsa ftw [05:25] Ok ok, I get the picture ;) no more googles please... I was in the channel and figured I'd ask ;) I'll google it next time lol [05:25] hey hey [05:25] i got a question [05:25] xocite, yes, but alsa isn't a sound-server:P [05:25] m_newton, thanks, I'll see if that fixes things up :) [05:25] Xecuter, hehehe.. i think same.. [05:26] what do i type in sudo [05:26] Xecuter: i know [05:26] hello everyone i m a new user of ubuntu !!! i have connected nokia 6233 to my computer but ubuntu is not detecting it !!! [05:26] Morph3us, ubuntu is getting to big and sloppy i think, to much unneeded software... thats why im changing to arch ;) [05:26] how do you install drivers on ubuntu os? for the first time i want to try ubuntu so i need some help! anyone [05:27] I use Arch Xecuter /j #archlinux [05:27] bing....u use sudo with any command that needs root priviledges [05:27] m_newton, just FYI - trying to install ubuntu-desktop didn't work because it's already installed.. I'll just change them manually :) Thanks for all of your help. [05:27] does anybody else have problems with gcc? [05:27] i cant compile anything! [05:27] Xecuter, unneeded and untested software.. crash frequently (not enough tested software) [05:27] what is arch [05:27] can anyone give me a hand? i am unable to get on the net wirelessly or plugged into my router [05:27] tso if i write sudo [05:27] wen will ubuntu 8.10 use gnome 2.23 or 2.22 [05:27] NTU: Have you install build-essential? [05:27] lepri, you dont need drivers in ubuntu (okey sometimes you do, but very rarely) as drivers are integraded in the kernel [05:27] when you say manually [05:27] yes [05:27] Xecuter, why Arch? i never heard about that distro [05:28] Michael_: 8.04 already uses 2.22 [05:28] m_newton, arch linux is another distro, like ubuntu [05:28] sudo allow videofolder usershare [05:28] thank you dear flannel [05:28] Xecuter: if you _really_ want something lean you could try lfs linux :) [05:28] m_newton, Manually as in go and select the icons I want to use, and then change the splash screen. [05:28] i would try going into system > prefrence> apperiance [05:28] thanx Xecuter [05:28] lepri: Typically, you don't. Linux supports most, but not all, hardware without having to install drivers. [05:28] :) yup [05:28] Morph3us, arch is a distro that one builds up from the ground, its much thinner, runs faster and better, but its also harder to setup and such [05:28] oh [05:28] lepri, np ;) [05:29] is it better for me as a first time user to use dual-boot! untill i get used before i crash everything! [05:29] m_newton, yea.. that's what i'm going to do.. I just thought there would be a setting where something is still pointing to edubuntu even though I've removed it, and that I could just change it... [05:29] what are u trying to do? [05:29] bing_, tell me what u want to do? [05:29] Ooh, you were being facetious. Good boy. :) [05:29] Xecuter, is like Gentoo ? :S [05:29] good night everyone [05:29] If you want something awesome, try this sudo apt-get install ubutustudio-desktop [05:29] fen[a], hehe never heard of :P but i'm not using arch for the challenge, just because my computer is old and doesnt run ubuntu as good anymore [05:29] alright [05:29] does ubuntu 8.04 support coreboot?? [05:29] I have fixed my resolution back to what it should be [05:30] ammazing sounds and splash and all! [05:30] but I am still having trouble with my video card [05:30] Morph3us, no not actually, its a little easier, but is buildt around the same principal [05:30] either I am not running the correct driver or it just can't support flightgear [05:30] What package provides management for desktop effects these days? [05:30] why arch? [05:30] ragsagar:i want to allow net usershare on a video ive downloaded [05:30] asc, compiz [05:30] asc: is it better for me as a first time user to use dual-boot! untill i get used before i crash everything! [05:30] anyway I can tell if my videocard is too slow or if it's just not the right driver? [05:30] Xecuter, compile everything? [05:30] m_newton, ahhh I totally forgot about studio! I used it for a while when I had a spot on my friend's internet radio station, and then totally forgot about it. I'll do that instead, thanks!! [05:30] Michael_: Coreboot is independat of OS [05:30] I feel that it should be fast enough [05:30] m_newton, as i said my computer is getting old, and i need a lighter os to run things better [05:30] thanks again flannel [05:31] . [05:31] Xecuter: Now how do I turn off these bloody wavey windows :p [05:31] Morph3us, no arch has a package system like ubuntu, pacman [05:31] what are the key features for arch [05:31] without disabling desktop effects [05:31] asc: compiz-fusion and Emerald are a nice combo and seems to work well [05:31] no g00le plz [05:31] or allow net usershare on all my media [05:31] !ot [05:31] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [05:31] asc, lol rightclick on your desktop, and select desktop settings or somethings and set desktop effects to off [05:32] I killed my main linux partition trying to clone my hard drive [05:32] I tried to resize it first [05:32] and I messed it up [05:32] Xecuter- i asked something:( [05:32] I can see the ntfs side [05:32] hello, does anyone have any expirence with Firestarter and it's setup? I have 1 machine connected via EVDO (USB to cellphone) works fine, and I SSH into that machine over Eth0 from a laptop and tunnel a few X apps over it (kopete and skype). Problem is, once the 'net connection comes up, I can no longer connect to the main box due to firestarter's setup. Can someone tell me how to get this setup right? [05:32] :) [05:32] but I cant see my linux side [05:32] asc: System > Preference > Appearance, then Visual Effects tab [05:32] Xecuter: I have no such menu option. [05:33] m_newton, well i havent used arch that long, but the principal its buildt around is KISS (Keep it simple, stupid), that means there no extra unneede software and such [05:33] lepri, what? [05:33] is it better for me as a first time user to use dual-boot! untill i get used before i crash everything! [05:33] asc, hmm running ubuntu 8.04? [05:33] can you change the media player that launches when you plug in your ipod? [05:33] Here, let's try this again. I would like to configure visual effects. I don't want to turn them off, but I would like to, for example, disable wavey windows and configure keys [05:34] lepri, hehe yes it might be... the transision from windows can be difficult... [05:34] lepri Not a bad idea.. I ahve dual-b for years [05:34] asc: Alright, Youll need to install either simple-ccsm or compizconfig-settings-manager, the latter is more advanced. [05:34] aham, i see thanks :) [05:34] what package do i need to install to compile my custom kernel?? [05:34] a [05:34] asc, oh ok, then install compiz config manager, there you can disable wobly windows... [05:34] !kernel | Michael_ [05:34] Michael_: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - See also: /msg ubottu stages [05:34] !build-essential plus kernel headers and sources [05:34] build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB [05:35] 55 [05:35] why do you have firestarter [05:35] Aha. Thank you very much; that is what I was looking for. [05:35] asc: compiz manager lets u tweak every aspect of ur gui.....is a great tool [05:35] hi guys. anyone can suggest a good mmo game that i can download and install in ubuntu? [05:35] 怎么没人说中文 [05:35] ubuntu hardy already has an inbuilt firewall [05:36] !firewall [05:36] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [05:36] so i think i will give a try with ubuntu, and wish me luck, by the way, dont get tired of me if i come up again with questions:):) [05:36] m_newton: but firestarter provides a GUI to manage it with [05:36] m_newton: i've noticed a few odd log entries since i've started it. I assume it's just something poking away at me, including a few log for attempts at root on SSH. I'd like to restrict SSH access completely from the WAN side, and keep it just on the LAN side [05:36] can somebody help me determine the block number on a ubuntu partition_ [05:36] ? [05:36] I can't access it [05:37] I was trying to recover it [05:37] Vlad1975: i dont know about mmo for ubuntu, but i i do now that Cedega(runs over Wine) lets u play Windows based games.... [05:37] frodubuntu Block number or uuid [05:37] the hard drive is healthy [05:37] Jack_Sparrow: thanks for responding first of all [05:37] the thing is that my ubuntu partition was damaged in trying to resize my ntfs partition [05:37] did hardy change the way is uses network sharing? i could share files with my xbox in gutsy using about 2 clicks, ive tried everything i can think of in hardy and i cant get my xbox to work at all [05:38] Vlad1975: I know Second Life runs natively under linux, as does A Tale In The Desert. World of Warcraft works GREAT with wine as well, just gotta add -opengl flag to it's startup [05:38] sry cant help you, interested to know where you find these logs though [05:38] metalpres, no i can share things in two clicks in hardy as well... [05:38] do i just type -opengl in terminal/ [05:38] ? [05:38] so when I try to run a e2fsck I get Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda5 [05:38] The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 [05:38] filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 [05:38] filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock [05:38] is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: [05:38] frodubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:38] e2fsck -b 8193 [05:39] Vlad1975: no [05:39] gparted work? [05:39] it is weirds [05:39] Xecuter: i can turn sharing on but my xbox wont see the ubuntu box when running hardy, it sees it right away with gutsy [05:39] I mean wird [05:39] frodubuntu: is it ext2 or ext3? [05:39] whatever ubuntu 8.04 uses for default [05:39] what is an 'interrupt' ? [05:39] frodubuntu Did you try running livecd and gparted etc [05:39] m_newton: Firestarter logs that stuff. Plus, you can see SSH logs... let me remember where... [05:40] metalpres, flashed xbox? or xbox 360? [05:40] it is weird because now for ex. I'm running off my live cd [05:40] and it can see and mount my ntfs [05:40] part [05:40] i need to edit a confid.xml file but it wont let me save it says i dont have permisson how can i save it [05:40] If I have installed azureus where is it located in my computer? In windows I would look in "Programs Files" What is the ubuntu equivalent of that? [05:40] but gpated doesn't show anything at all [05:40] hard modded xbox 1 [05:40] !sudo | bing [05:40] bing: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root").

[05:40] !sudo | bing_ [05:40] bing_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [05:40] m_newton: /var/log/auth.log [05:41] thanks [05:41] /dev/sdb5 1 7381 59279787 83 Linux [05:41] that is what fdisk shows when I list it [05:41] m_newton: should show you all the login attempts including CRON and such [05:41] metalpres, have you enabled anonymous sharing, or do you log in? [05:41] I'm currently considering either Liferea or Straw for a desktop RSS aggregator. Does anyone have any experiences with either that they feel would be worth sharing? [05:41] Vlad1975: -opengl is an option used with World of Warcraft in WINE to make it use OpenGL instead of Direct3D [05:42] but i can uper the file when i click save it save no permission , how can i write in terminal to save a window already open [05:42] Jack_Sparrow: I've been googling about it but I can't seem to find too much to help [05:42] oh i see [05:42] frodubuntu Partition recovery is always tricky [05:42] SiliconViper: I used Liferea until i switched to Kubuntu, then i just started using Akregigator [05:42] yeah, [05:43] I suppose that is why they stress so much data backup [05:43] SiliconViper: Liferea was very easy to use and did an excellent job. [05:43] frodubuntu ONe sec while I re-read your problem [05:43] Where are my installed files located on ubuntu? Like where can I see these folders? [05:43] So its safe to say that if i purchase any games i have to check that it has an open GL option available or it runs on linux [05:43] chlorate: it depends on the package installed. [05:43] Jack_Sparrow: np, and really, thank you [05:43] bing_, you cant, you must open the file as root and then save [05:43] hello ,does any one who can help me ?My chm documents can't read! [05:43] chlorate: to find out which files a package has installed, use dpkg -L [05:43] Starnestommy: Let's say if I installed azureus, where would it be? [05:43] SilentDis, thank you. Ease of use is always a good thing. Do you know how it copes with large numbers of feeds? [05:44] Can anyone help me with DDNS? [05:44] hey everyone... [05:44] hchufeng: install gnochm [05:44] Vlad1975: 99% of OpenGL games work great under linux. 80% of DirectX 7 and older games work fine as well. After DX7, you need a shim like Cedega to get it going well. I know SWG worked fine under Cedega, if that helps. [05:44] Vlad1975: check for a linux version, or check in http://appdb.winehq.org/ [05:44] frodubuntu can you manually mount that ext3 [05:44] hchufeng, gnochm [05:44] astro76 just do it last night ,but it can't support chinese [05:45] I have been having trouble getting my microphone to work in Ubuntu 8.04. I've follwed various giudes to fix it but nothing works. I've also noticed that I don't have options in volume control other users have, and I've checked all the boxes to have them all. Anyone have any advice? [05:45] thanx [05:45] Jack_Sparrow: I've tryed [05:45] coagent, DDNS? Whatcha need? [05:45] but it doesn't seem to work [05:45] hchufeng: maybe they could help you in #ubuntu-cn [05:45] would someone help me with k9copy on wine? [05:45] SiliconViper: I was running in the neighborhood of 30 feeds through it, same with Akrigator. Not sure what you're looking at... but I do expire after 2 weeks, and save only older stuff marked as important. I remember it got a bit slow when i was saving those 30 feeds for 2 months. [05:45] I have it working with forward maps but the rev maps are broken [05:46] Xecuter, pacman is as good as aptitude [05:46] Xecuter, ? [05:46] sudo mkdir /media/dsb5 sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 right [05:46] astro76 they told me to use kchmviewer but it can't support chm very well. [05:46] Morph3us, yea allmost, apt is the best around, but pacman is good [05:46] By the way I am trying to do DDNS between dhcpd and bind9 not ddns for a internet domain name [05:46] imaginativeone k9copy is not for wine it ins native linux [05:47] SilentDis, I read ~1200 items a month, spread across ~95 feeds. Do you think that would be a problem? [05:47] SiliconViper: the db would fill fast lol. I'd say expire after a week and set it to save stuff you mark as important, and you should be fine :) [05:47] Ok, a new question: Is there a way to grab a program into a separate x server? (I.E. from the root x server at :0 to a vnc server running at :1) [05:48] SilentDis, herm. How exactly does the 'DB get full'? Just slow access times, or outright breaks? [05:48] twentyfiftyone: are you talking about moving a program running in 1 x session to another? kinda like 'screen for x' type of thing? [05:48] Jack_Sparrow: well it mounts per say if I create say a folder called /ubuntu, \ then run === the-stace is now known as stace [05:48] SiliconViper: just slow, takes a while to page between articles, slow startup as it reads in the DB, etc. [05:48] oh! thanks [05:48] sudo mount -t ext3 -f /dev/sdb5 /ubuntu [05:48] How can I share internet with my Ubuntu Hardy running iMac? I need something like this. http://www.macinstruct.com/node/118 [05:48] SilentDis: My original X server is in an unstable state, and I have a program running with unsaved data in it. [05:48] would someone help me with k9copy? [05:49] hello everyone [05:49] can someone pls gtive me a few mins and help me get my laptop with ubuntu on the net [05:49] frodubuntu I would save a copy of your /home before doing anything else [05:49] Jack_Sparrow: butt when I go to the folder it is blank [05:49] hahaha [05:49] yeah [05:49] I would have too [05:49] frodubuntu did you try it my way? [05:49] :P [05:49] SilentDis: So I want to shunt it into a stable X server so I can save it, :P [05:49] my k9copy isn't finding my dvd writer [05:49] using the same machine with OSX and XP internet sharing is easy so I think I must be missing something obvious. [05:49] twentyfiftyone: is that machine running VNC so you can at least get into it and safe close? if not... I've not tried to retrieve 'dead' X windows, but i know you can't pull 'em over via SSH (i've tried, trust me lol) [05:49] My smplayer is broken.. it plays audio but no video shows since update to newest distro [05:49] a bit more info here [05:49] SilentDis, I see. That could be a problem. I've marked ~400 articles as worth keeping in the last month. [05:49] imaginativeone Will it read and rip the dvd though [05:50] I've got access to the console, plus access to another machine on the network. [05:50] Would anyone be able to help me get my microphone to work in Ubuntu 8.04? [05:50] Rayvis, turned up the volume in volume manager? [05:50] Rayvis /join #alsa [05:50] SiliconViper: 400 is no problem, I think liferea started having issue when it hit about the 3000 mark or so. I've noticed no slowdowns, myself, with akrigator, and nothing says you gotta run a gnome app... lol [05:50] Jack Sparrow: perhaps, but how can it do that? [05:51] if it can't find the hardware? [05:51] Hi! I've installed kdm and gdm. How can I know which of them is the current display manager? How to switch between them? [05:51] Jack_Sparrow: was your way to just create the folder and type 'mount /dev/hdb5 /mnt' or whatever place we are mount it to? [05:51] imaginativeone Reading is different that writing.. which is why I asked [05:51] coagent, sounds a bit more complicated than I'd be able to help with, sorry. For most cases like that, I just use ddclient. [05:51] sudo mkdir /media/dsb5 sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 right [05:52] !pm | Rayvis [05:52] Rayvis: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [05:52] installing ubuntu-restricted-extras I now have java working in my 64bit browser (whoo hoo!) but I get an interesting problem when trying to play Jagex games. I am redirected to a page claiming no suitable place can be found to write cache files [05:52] SilentDis, absolutely. I'm open to any RSS app, those were just the main ones I was considering. [05:52] I found this peculiar, and it was not an issue in the 32 bit browser [05:52] SiliconViper: as of right now... message store on akgrigator for me is probably somewhere around 4000 lol [05:52] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [05:52] Jack_Sparrow: mount: I guet you must specify the filesystem type [05:52] any sort of ideas on where java would try to put temporary cache files? or does firefox take responsibility of that? [05:52] Jack Sparrow: ah. no reading...don't know about writing (yet) [05:53] frodubuntu INteresting it cant figure it out [05:53] frodubuntu You are sure it is ext3 right? [05:53] I have update this to show /etc/network interfaces [05:53] I'm not [05:53] Jack_Sparrow: It is whatever ubuntu 8.04 creates [05:53] SiliconViper: so it won't look perfectly integrated. akregator sure gets the job done for me. I'd say try 2 or 3 of 'em for a week or so, and see which you like best. I last ran gnome and liferea back in 6.06, i have to assume they've made strides in their handling of large message stores :) [05:54] the story is that I was trying to clone my hd [05:54] frodubuntu If it is default then ext3 [05:54] how to share my document with windows user ,the sabam has been installed [05:54] yeah well that is what I thought [05:54] frodubuntu in the future use dd command [05:54] omg that was easy just type sudo before the gedit thanks guys [05:54] SilentDis, good stuff. That should scale well to what I'm looking for. I just don't want to start using something, have all my feeds in, good articles marked, etc, and then 4 months in find out that the app isn't scaling well, and there's no easy way to export my 'marked' articles. [05:54] Both Vista and my ubuntu laptop can "see" the iMac (running hardy) and connect but no internet [05:54] frodubuntu one more sec.. let me see how to force mount to ext3 [05:55] Jack_Sparrow: I was trying to clone my hd, so I set off to clone it and I realized that the hard drive was just 1 gig over the dest, so I resized the ntfs, and that messed the ext3 [05:55] SiliconViper: totally understandable :) sorry i don't have more info on how liferea is working now though. As i said, in your case, i'd still try running a couple in paralell, just to be sure it'll work for your needs [05:55] SilentDis, the only objection I have to using a Qt app is loading yet another library into memory. ;p A tiny concern, but no sense being wasteful if I don't gain a functional advantage. [05:56] SiliconViper: lol just like me. 2gb memory here, i'd rather see it go to disk cache when i can lol [05:56] The login screen is giving me a lot of problems. How can I change the login screen resolution? [05:56] SilentDis, yeppers. It's not that I lack the resources, just that being wasteful is a bad habit to get into. ;p [05:57] SiliconViper: totally agreed :) I'd like to try to trim my MP3 files for the same reason lol [05:57] gotama: you know you can set it to automatically log you in, with no login screen [05:57] frodubuntu I am going to take a shot and try this..sudo mkdir /media/sdb5 then sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 -o force [05:58] I have several users in the same pc. [05:58] Is there anything in the Network Administration tool in System > Administration that I am missing that allows internet sharing? [05:59] mohkohn: nope, learn to use iptables, it's not straightforward, but google for howtos [05:59] Has anyone used Adobe Photoshop CS2 with wine? I heard that all the games with Game Guard doesn't work on it because game guard is installed like a driver, so I'm kinda questioning adobe. [05:59] how to uninstall ubuntu and change ext3 to NTFs [05:59] mohkohn Read up on firestarter [05:59] SilentDis: Ok, I have a vnc server going on the semi-crashed machine. Any way to yank a running process to the vnc server? [06:00] Jack_Sparrow: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb5 /media/sdb5 -o force [06:00] Nikunj93: Just take your favorite partition editor in windows and reformat your ubuntu partitions [06:00] Nikunj93 no need, just format with your windows tools to ntfs [06:00] does anyone know how to allow regular users to open ports < 1024? [06:00] I have Firestarter [06:00] Jack_Sparrow: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb5, [06:00] When logout i just recieve a black screen. whit the message resolution not supported. Any Ideas? [06:00] Why is this so hard in 2008 [06:00] Zack1403, do you have a firewall? [06:00] which tool to use? [06:00] frodubuntu Sorry buddy... you may be out of luck [06:00] Xecuter: nope [06:00] do i have to do it through windows xp loaded? [06:00] Jack_Sparrow: missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so [06:00] Xecuter: at least no custom one [06:00] Zack1403, then what port do you need to open? [06:00] i need help, when i go to youtube on firefox the videos wont play...id really like to fix this, im running ubuntu ultimate 1.8 x64 [06:01] twentyfiftyone: not that i know of. you'd be looking to revive a dead x windows app, but i have no idea how to do it :( [06:01] Nikunj93: Not if you have like a Partition Manager CD [06:01] Nikunj93: er, Partition Magic [06:01] Nikunj93 no, you can run gparted livecd or gparted on the ubuntu livecd [06:01] Jack_Sparrow: well friend, thanks for your help, I think I found something while googling [06:01] did you get answer on firestarter [06:01] Xecuter: smtp port [06:01] it is something about "TestDisk" [06:01] frodubuntu good luck [06:01] Xecuter: which is 25 [06:01] mac_: no, not really. i keep looking through the options, but i must be missing something. [06:01] Jack_Sparrow: I think I'll check it out [06:02] chanel thank you all, I'll be distracted for a bit, but I'll let you know the results === mac_ is now known as m__newton [06:02] how can i use the GPARTED? using the live cd? [06:02] Zack1403, are you running a server on that port? [06:02] Xecuter: telnet localhost 25 gets refused so i know its not open [06:02] someone took m_newton... why? [06:02] SilentDis: Well, X is still running, sort of. It's only half-crashed. :) Thanks for your help, though. [06:02] mac_: my temporary solution is just to pull down firestarter when i wanna use chat over on the lappy. not ideal. :P [06:02] Xecuter: an app im developing is looking to [06:03] when i close the window of firestarter , does it stop working?? [06:03] Nikunj93 system..admin.. partition editor [06:03] twentyfiftyone: yep. I've got a ton of windows up, or i'd google for ya, i'd say search for 'reviving dead x windows application' and you might turn up something [06:03] Zack1403, if the server is running correctly you dont have to open any ports [06:03] m__newton no the tables are still in place [06:03] Zack1403, i think :P [06:03] thanks jack [06:03] np [06:03] Xecuter: well i guess I ended up on that issue because java is throwing a permission denied error when the server is trying to start [06:04] SilentDis: I'm exploring other avenues. :) Worst case, I lose an hours work and a semi-nifty gimped image. [06:04] Zack1403, sudo? [06:04] then why does the icon on the taskbar go away? [06:04] Zack1403, run nmap at yourself... [06:04] Xecuter: I would really like to not have test code running as root [06:04] ill try [06:05] Zack1403, hehe [06:05] m__newton: here's how it goes. I have firestarter stopped right now. I can ssh in, tunnel my xwindows over, etc. now, lets say EVDO goes down (it hapens) and i restart it, firestarter comes back on automatically, and cuts off SSH access. [06:05] Zack1403, if the server is running correctly you don't have to open any ports... i never have... [06:06] yea just ipp, mysql and http-proxy [06:06] what is EVDO? [06:06] jack_sparrow: in gparted when i click on delete partition it says Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 6 [06:06] what is EVDO [06:06] ntfs is not mounting automatic...every time i have to mount it manually...please tell me how to make it so that it mount ntfs automatic when i boot. [06:07] Xecuter: im going off this mainly http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=000412 [06:07] m__newton: basically internet access over Cellphone. I plug my cellphone into my PC, and i've got a DSL line, basically [06:07] heya [06:07] Xecuter: it is an old thread though, you think its not related to ubuntu at all? [06:07] Hello - How can I restart my Ubuntu server every night using a cron job? I tried simply adding a "reboot" command to root's crontab, but it didn't seem to work. [06:07] can pidgin be used to im over the lan like windows messenger [06:08] what should i use as the protocol? [06:08] jacob5: you can im in windows messenger without a sn? [06:08] Zack1403: no we need a screen name [06:08] chanel I don't know if you guys remember me, but I was having trouble recovering my linux partition, I've found an excellent tool [06:08] I saying in the corporate environment [06:08] called test disk [06:09] when i am creating a partion NTFS what shall i select Logical or primary? [06:09] jacob5: you look at jabber server? [06:09] no [06:09] good for corporate messaging [06:09] cool i want to do that [06:09] Zack1403: We can chat in windows messenger using our corporate email id right ? [06:09] Zack1403, no im afraid im not much help... since i dont know java... but i should think that if a server is running correctly, then the port should be open... [06:09] I am asking we can do that in pidgin [06:10] did Jack_Sparrow leave? [06:10] apparently yes [06:10] Queston to all: Is there a way to run TOR/Vidalia on Hardy Heron??? [06:10] Xecuter: hmm actually a key troubleshooting step i missed is actually trying to run it as sudo [06:10] m__newton: I will recommend Alltel as your service, and get a Motorola Razr V3m phone. works GREAT, linux detected it without issue right out of box :) [06:10] frodubuntu: yes he has left [06:10] Xecuter: one sec :) [06:10] m__newton: you can use tor [06:10] ok Nikunj93 [06:10] how? [06:10] thanks thanks for the info [06:11] jacob5: you wouldnt be able to through messenger but why would you want to? You can use trillian for windows or pidgen in linux [06:11] !google | m__newton, [06:11] m__newton,: google is the helpers' friend; many newer users dont have the google-fu yet; For GNU/Linux: http://google.com/linux [06:11] hello [06:11] ppl [06:11] HI raghav [06:11] hello [06:11] m__newton, the first thing i found in google seems to be relevant... [06:11] help me to spped up my boot time its very slow [06:11] hi [06:11] I have KDE 3.5 [06:11] i have gnome in ubuntu [06:12] raghav, i think theres a program called boot manager that allows you to tweak your boot prosess [06:12] raghav: remove unused services at boot up [06:12] :) I install KDE 4 or xFcE [06:12] where to remove [06:12] what was your search [06:12] how to remove [06:12] m__newton, what you wrote :P TOR/Vidalia on Hardy Heron [06:12] hydei315: I'm finding KDE4 is just not quite 'there' yet myself. Still working in 3.5.9 mainly here. [06:12] m__newton, i dunno, i just googled :P [06:12] m__newton: no [06:12] pls help [06:13] you don`t need wine [06:13] tor is available for linux [06:13] did you check synaptic if its has tor [06:13] why i'm have to mount ntfs every time i boot??? [06:14] do u know how to remove unused services at startup [06:14] Xecuter: yea that was definitly it, starting it up as root starts the server. For obvious reasons this is pretty much impossible. So do you know a way to allow users to open up the SMTP port? [06:15] codecain isn't here either apparently [06:15] man, I am sooo happy I was able to recover that linux part [06:15] Zack1403, no, and somehow i think its made not to allow users to do that... but if you search around you might find a solution... [06:15] hi, i'm using gnome / compiz / and emerald all on ubuntu, does anyone know why my windows automatically minimize after a period of inactivity and how i can turn that off? [06:16] hm.. [06:16] raghav: System -> Admin -> Services [06:17] Xecuter: thanks anyways for the help. Anyone know if its even possible to allow regular users to open up the SMTP port (or any under 1024 for that matter) [06:18] anyone tried switching to gnome on kubuntu? [06:19] ya [06:19] its easy [06:19] after I save my file with DVD Shrink...then what? [06:19] i apt-get install gnome [06:19] :) [06:19] tor, i got the package [06:19] godkas: he wants to switch, not just add it [06:19] how do i run it without vidalia [06:20] amirman84 i is he [06:20] godkas: i just realized that the "he" i was talking about is you [06:20] lol [06:20] haha [06:20] after I save my file with DVD Shrink...then what? [06:20] well to switch dont i add it and set it default? [06:20] Zack1403, just a thought, where is you server located? on the computer that is... [06:20] godkas: i did that once and it gets messy because the desktop packages also come with all the default apps [06:20] Xecuter: my home directory [06:20] any way to properly switch whilist saving my info? [06:20] Zack1403, okey... [06:21] can someone help? [06:21] and then wouldnt it technically be ubuntu proper? [06:21] Zack1403, and why don't you want to run it as root? [06:21] imaginativeone: state your issue [06:21] godkas: it'll save all your info, but i'm pretty sure there's a command that installs one desktop and at the same time removes the one you have [06:21] hmmmm [06:21] once I rip my dvd, do I just copy it to a blank? [06:22] hi, i'm using gnome / compiz / and emerald all on ubuntu, does anyone know why my windows automatically minimize after a period of inactivity and how i can turn that off? [06:22] that's my issue...I would like to know what to do next [06:22] Xecuter: well i guess I dont like the thought of my testing code having full rain over my system, but I guess I will have to run it as root on my server [06:22] see i dont particularly like gnome but id like to be able to restart x without restarting my comp [06:22] imaginativeone: hm.. are you trying to backup a dvd onto the computer or escentially clone your disk? === m__newton is now known as m_newton [06:22] frodubuntu: the latter [06:23] cloning the disk [06:23] godkas, CTRL + ALT + Backspace restarts X [06:23] imaginativeone: well yes, usually you would make a backup of the disk first and then burn that backup onto another disk [06:23] .... thanks.. thatll lock up my comp [06:23] you can create an image of the disk [06:24] is creating the image a superior technique? [06:24] imaginativeone: or if you have two units (a dvd reader and a dvd burner or two burners) [06:24] Please assist: my audio works in all applications except flash in firefox [06:24] Im in a great Problem I formatted the drive in which ubuntu was there and there are other 2 partitions which has windows but the pc isnt booting the grub isnt loding its sayin error 17 [06:24] imaginativeone: you could create a copy "on the fly" [06:24] how to boot in windows now?

So even with tor.. [06:32] I cant get that program to work for the life of me [06:32] ya i have wine but its not install saying that the dll file cannot be found [06:32] for source at least [06:33] anybody in here use nmap? [06:33] what might be the problem ..? [06:33] ?? [06:33] raghav: what is the full error? [06:33] safari for linux???? [06:33] chris__420: I sometimes use it [06:33] bedtime bye to all [06:33] is there a retardedly huge list of dependencies i can find somewhere that helps me do everything? [06:33] its saying the neeeded dll file is not found for installation [06:33] raghav: which dll? [06:34] starne i have google the rpcinfo.nes script as i keep getting that it is not a script but have found no solution [06:34] hey people, I have a severe issue with the 173 nvidia drivers. With the default config my x server dies and when I fiddle with the xorg.conf I can get one of my screens working but the nvidia settings refuses to work. [06:35] ya its installling [06:35] I have probably every error and failure listed in all the forums happening at once, I have been trying to fix this for hours but nothing works. [06:35] chris__420: I've never heard of that script [06:35] Ubuntu rulez the world kekek kakaka! [06:36] starnestommy have you run into this and or found a way to fix it? [06:36] how do I get rid of these shitty 173 drivers and go back to 169 that come from synaptic? help, please. [06:36] Hi I have a fairly weak machine 1.6Ghz centrino with 1gig of RAM and I want to run ubuntu in a virtual machine. however its quite slow, is there any way to pare it down to make it faster? [06:36] hmmmmmm well then i guess i really don't have anything to worry about then lol [06:36] flobbo: if you download 169.12 run package from nvidia it will offer to replace them for you again [06:36] solid_liq: don't do that! [06:37] amrik: thanks dude. This is a nightmare, I thought new drivers were supposed to make it better and not totally screw up your system. [06:37] flobbo: they actually work better for me. =\ to each system their own i suppose. i hope you arent using glxgears to benchmark [06:38] usser: that didn't fix anything. not the sound, and not the pausing thing. [06:38] amrik: glxgears? [06:39] flobbo: its a simple program that tests to see if your opengl acceleration is working. some people think its a useful benchmark but its not [06:40] amrik: I can only dream of benchmarks, I am running 800x600 cuz my cards aren't being detected as well as my monitors and I can only get a decent resolution once I manually change the xorg.conf file to say nv instead of nvidia in the driver section. [06:40] zachalink, hm that usually solves the issues, did u restart firefox, try killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio & [06:40] zachalink, the pausing thing is because of the sound [06:40] oh [06:40] I'll try restarting Firefox. [06:41] usser: do I do killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio & in terminal? [06:41] zachalink, yea [06:41] flobbo: wait what card are you using? [06:42] how to run the program fifa 07 i installed it in my documents in wine [06:42] flobbo, you can try using nvidia-settings or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, the gui stuff is not detecting things correctly and can't be trusted right now. [06:42] hey, how do you run Dual Monitors with 8.04? === zero is now known as Guest86330 [06:42] how to run the program fifa 07 i installed it in my documents in wine\ [06:42] its cloned [06:42] hey, how do you run Dual Monitors with 8.04? [06:42] amrik: 7900GTX and 8600 GTS. Worked great before I installed the new drivers. [06:43] and its running a way hi resolution [06:43] Guest86330, with nvidia cards. I configure twinview with the 2 nvidia config tools that are in the repos. [06:43] Carbonflux: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't do anything and nvidia-settings keeps telling me I am not using the nvidia driver. [06:43] pls help me [06:43] flobbo: alright good luck with the old drivers [06:43] ??////////// [06:43] Dr_willis, what is twinview [06:43] raghav: what happens when you run it from there? [06:43] raghav: cant you just run wine [location of executable] [06:43] flobbo, you have to use the nvidia driver for nvidia-settings to work clearly :) [06:44] Guest86330, its a feature of the Nvidia Drivers that allow configuration of more then 1 monitor. [06:44] what do you prefer, virtualbox or vmware and why? [06:44] Dr_willis: is TwinView necessary to have more than one monitor on nvidia cards? [06:44] Guest86330, the nvidia web site has a detailed readme on it. It allows extra featrues over the xinerama [06:44] !poll | wers [06:44] wers: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:44] amrik, it allows better controll. [06:44] ok [06:44] Carbonflux: yup, got them installed, have them in the xorg.conf, nvidia-settings tells me no go. [06:44] flobbo, I might have spelled it wrong, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is the right one [06:44] amrik, Twinview supercedes Xinerama i belive one can say. [06:44] Dr_willis, can you link me? [06:45] Guest86330, nope. go to nvidia.com and look i guess. :) [06:45] Dr_willis: oh I see [06:45] !nvidia [06:45] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:45] !twinview [06:45] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [06:45] you have to restart x flobbo relog or something, "nvidia" is the name, not "nv" [06:45] Carbonflux: yes, I read about that in a forum but it didn't fix my problem, just asked me about my keyboard settings lol [06:45] !DualHead [06:45] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [06:45] usser: what was that one pulsesound command again? [06:45] oh sorry. how can you help me choose between virtualbox and vmware? what factors do i consider? [06:45] flobbo, yes, most of the time the defaults work fine [06:45] wers: one costs money and the other doesnt. I use vmware because I got it for free from work [06:45] wers, i prefer virtualbox, vmware is proprietary and it took them almost a month to get their stuff working on hardy kernel whilst virtualbox worked right away [06:45] also Nvidia read me file [06:46] Carbonflux: when I have nvidia in the xorg.conf my x server crashes and goes back to 800x600 using vesa driver. lol [06:46] zachalink, killall pulseaudio && pulseaudio & [06:46] wers, both are free in the low end versions.. so try them both? i find some os's work better in one, then the other. - [06:46] wers: also I have it working on 2.6.25.4 kernel, so don't listen to people who say it won't work on hardy kernels or whatever [06:46] okay. thank you amrik, usser and Dr_willis [06:46] usser: Error opening PCM device hw:0: Device or resource busy [06:46] the new beta of vmware has some neat features.. but i cant figure out how to actually USE it. :) [06:47] usser: E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-alsa-sink" (argument: "device_id=0 sink_name=alsa_output.pci_10de_3f0_sound_card_0_alsa_playback_0"): initialization failed. [06:47] havent tried vitrualization ever so i had no idea. thanks guys. i'll go for virtualbox [06:47] ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 [06:47] zachalink: that sounds like a question for #pulseaudio [06:47] well, thanks anyways, gonna try and get rid of these drivers, what a nightmare. [06:47] zachalink, hm last two errors are fine [06:47] bye. [06:47] how to connect my moto yuva to system i have kandy and kmobile tools in gnome [06:47] my mobile is w230 [06:47] usser: they are supposed to be like that? [06:48] zachalink, the first one is something to worry about, quit all applications that use sound [06:48] flobbo, ya I don't have enough information to help I guess, I am using a 7800 on this machine with dual monitors etc and the newist driver === mrgnome is now known as SirAlexander [06:48] btw, I have a relatively slow laptop. 1.5ghz celeron M and 512MB ram. would it be enough to run XP on Virtualbox? [06:48] usser: I have no applications open that use sound. [06:48] at the moment. [06:48] wers: most likely now [06:48] *not [06:48] zachalink, try to restart [06:48] wers: yes, but uh your in for some pain [06:49] ubuntu? [06:49] Hi I have a fairly weak machine 1.6Ghz centrino with 1gig of RAM and I want to run ubuntu in a virtual machine. however its quite slow, is there any way to pare it down to make it faster? [06:49] wers, run 2000 if u can get your hands on it [06:49] all I want is to run my SonyEricsson PC suite. what do you think is the best way to do it (other than dual booting)? [06:49] wers, what does this suite actually do? [06:50] Is this the line to get a Big Mac? === kat is now known as Guest95201 [06:50] usser, sync my PIM [06:51] wers, hm... yea thats tricky on linux [06:51] Huh, so just IMPORTING my 93 subscribed feeds caused Liferea's startup times to plummet. That's not a good sign... [06:51] hello everyone, what do you think if we vote to remove obsolete pixmaps icons in /usr/share/pixmaps? Some geek developers argue they wont remove it simply because they love to use it even though somes are so so so outdated [06:52] I vote for a soda machine in every hallway. [06:52] mojo, update them! [06:52] usser, yeah. running the SE PC suite on windows would be the best idea.I'm going to install some tweaked windows XP "lite" designed for the EEE PC. would that work well enough on my machine? [06:52] mojo, are you proposing a per-pixmap vote, or a general vote? [06:52] it is VERY HARD to convince gnome-developers to remove those icons from gnome-desktop-data package, I think I will create a poll in the forums [06:53] What benefit do we gain by removing them? [06:53] Less files on disk? [06:53] yes [06:53] and make things more consistent [06:53] Any other gains? [06:53] How much room do they actually take up [06:53] around 5MB [06:54] mojo, its nice to have the variety, not like 5mb of icons hurts anyone.... [06:54] Consistency I'm a fan of. Files on disk, small but useful gain. I'm sure if you're meeting resistance from the devs, these trivial gains aren't going to be enough to swing the vote in favour of removal. [06:54] the pixmaps icons is used to be the icons for apps, now every apps ships their own icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor [06:54] so there is no point keeping them [06:55] hello guys i just installed xubuntu, and networking does not work....before during install it said it could not find dcp or something like that....please help [06:55] Could always split them into a gnome-desktop-data-obsolete-pixmaps package, no? Make them optional, get the benefits of both worlds? [06:55] yaris12346789: you might need to register your MAC address if you are on a college or work network [06:55] yaris12346789, then how are you typing here? [06:55] i am at home [06:55] i am using my note book [06:55] i installed xubuntu on desktop [06:56] yaris12346789: is the desktop wired or wireless? [06:56] hi [06:56] wired [06:56] cant use higher resolutions on nvidia 5200 [06:56] i skipped the network setup because during install it couldn't find dcp [06:56] d something [06:56] yaris12346789: dhcp? [06:56] yes [06:57] yaris12346789: is it behind a router? [06:57] Starnestommy: yes [06:57] yaris12346789: and is it connected to the router by an ethernet cable? [06:57] yaris12346789, have you set the ethernet card to recieve dhcp? [06:57] how do i shut a program down via the terminal? [06:57] Starnestommy: ye [06:57] theFATMAN, killall for instance [06:58] yaris12346789, check the cable to make sure it in snugly [06:58] theFATMAN: kill number-of-process [06:58] killall -s 9 if you're really serious. [06:58] bloodrock: its plugged in [06:58] how to install nvidia 5200 drivers through envy [06:58] ok ok, i mean just one individual app [06:58] yaris12346789: try running sudo dhclient eth0 [06:58] yaris12346789, go to network settings and set the ethernet card to recieve from dhcp [06:58] killall doesn't literally mean kill all. It means you can use a process name instead of a number [06:59] lol killall ^^ [06:59] ok [06:59] Like if you type ps -A and get the process name, like "gnome", you could then type "killall gnome" or if you were really serious, "killall -s 9 gnome" [07:00] yaris12346789, i realize that but sometimes if you had moved machine or slot is a lil loose the plug don't get proper contact [07:00] theres only one thing killall cant kill... itself *cue scary music* [07:00] theFATMAN: open system>admin>system monitor >processes right click process select kill [07:01] amrik, you're forgetting something. Killall also often can't kill... zombies! [07:01] and ghosts [07:02] its telling insert the correct dvd (fifa 07_ [07:02] You'd think they'd come up with a way for the kernel to kill zombied processes, like a doomsday kill command that'll just squash it no matter what. [07:02] I'm trying to create an ntfs partition in gparted, but the ntfs option is grayed out. Is there a library package I can install to fix this? [07:02] brb i will try some stuff [07:02] alex, um, gf3, g3f, gs3f, something like that, I think. [07:03] Sir_Fawnpug: well technically you are supposed to kill the parent of the zombie since the parent wants to use the return value [07:03] I am trying to install Mesa 7.0.3. Which configuration is best for a 32 bit Ubuntu 8.04 distro? Linux-x86? [07:03] Sir_Fawnpug: and init autokills direct child zombies, so a zombie takeover wouldnt happen :) [07:03] Priest, yes. [07:03] SirAlexander: ntfs-3g is already installed... [07:04] I've happened across a few zombies though that had no parent. Well, okay, except perhaps for X, you could say X was the parent because restarting that did the trick, but it's a pain to have to restart X in those situations just to take care of a zombie. [07:04] SiliconViper: Are you familiar with the configurations Mesa lists? [07:04] although thanks to tab completion (magic), I found ntfs-tools that looks promising [07:04] what is a zombie process [07:04] SirAlexander: I hear GNU shotgun also works pretty well, but you have to aim for the #includes [07:04] Sorry if I am reposting this. My network disconnected. [07:04] Priest, not really, but 32-bit Ubuntu is most definitely Linux/x86 [07:04] I'm getting a grub error code 25. I've researched the issue and cannot figure out what's wrong. I was able to reinstall grub but not go into rescue mode. Where should I go from here? [07:04] anybody knows about mediatomb? [07:04] amrik: I always thought you had to aim for the package [07:05] What is wrong with my dhcpcd.conf? http://paste.ubuntu.com/16128/ [07:05] diky [07:05] how do I remove somebody from the ignore list? [07:05] it says nickname*@* added to ignore list. [07:06] frodubuntu: /unignore? [07:06] And make me some eggs while you're at it, frodubuntu [07:06] SiliconViper, can you do me one favor and throw your eye over this list and make sure that would be the most optimal choice? - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16129/ [07:06] SirAlexander: the ntfs-tools package did the trick, thanks [07:06] I used Wubi-8.04 to install ubuntu and then booted it up. it booted no probs and asked me to update alot of stuff (gfx Driver) was one of them, then it asked me to reboot but after that i can still boot it up but i cant see anything and my screen turns off. does anyone know how i can fix this? [07:07] armik, sorry, I wasnt payomgo attetmopam [07:07] alexbobp: You're welcome :). [07:07] Dutt: What graphics driver did you install? [07:07] Err, paying attetniont [07:08] im not sure but it was the right one for my card as it was auto selected and i checked it [07:08] Dutt: what card do you have? [07:08] rats I just Nikunj93 [07:08] Geforce 7800 GTX [07:09] Priest, what other options are you considering? By that list, linux-x86-32 probably sounds best. [07:09] Dutt: try this: boot to Linux, and ctrl-alt-f1 to go to a command line. Then log in, and type "sudo nvidia-xconfig". After that, restart your x server (or reboot your computer). [07:09] great success im on ubuntu! [07:09] yaris123456789: You win! [07:10] SiliconViper, I was not considering another. I am not too familiar with what would work best. I looked down the whole list and just wanted to be sure which would be the best so I can rest assured that I've done all I can to fix any graphics issues I have. [07:10] hey if somebody had Nikunj93 could you msg me? [07:10] I was trying to help [07:10] Hooray Yaris! [07:10] im pretty shocked ubuntu is running this fast on my 195mb of ram [07:10] but much much faster than xp [07:10] alexbobp: i dont know anything about this but thanks.. will i b able to see in the command line? [07:10] I probably shoud not be in tis channel. [07:10] Priest, my opinion is that linux-x86-32 is the most fitting item to the description provided. [07:11] hey did anybody have the nick Nikunj93? [07:11] I would like to fit some chicken nuggets in my mouth. [07:11] yaris123456789: Ubuntu feels "empty" to me, in comparison to Windows XP, or Vista. However, I too have noticed significant increases in speed and in performance. [07:11] SiliconViper, thank you very, very much for your time and expertise. =) [07:11] yes [07:11] how to install CUBE in Ubuntu 8.04 ? [07:11] Dutt: the command line view doesn't use your graphics drivers, it uses super-old VGA. So it should work fine. [07:11] frodubuntu, * [Nikunj93] (n=ubuntu@59.93.243.204): purple [07:11] * [Nikunj93] irc.freenode.net :Sat May 31 23:08:40 2008 [07:12] Dutt: You can see the text scroll when you're booting up before it tries to run the GUI, right? [07:12] gorio: install simple-ccsm and switch to cube view from pane [07:12] Priest: it does seem to lack some goods in windows. but it does the essentials and im happy...at least i dont have to wait like i used to on windows [07:12] SiliconViper: what does that mean? [07:12] alexbobp: ok thank you.. [07:12] frodubuntu, it means yes, someone did have the nick. [07:12] Yaris, what does it lack? It installs with more apps than Windows does. [07:13] Flannel: how to instal simple ccsm, i'm new user could you help me ? [07:13] SiliconViper: I accidentally added it to the ignore list [07:13] oh really ? [07:13] Oh yeah. [07:13] okay i just gotta get used to this [07:13] Priest: what do you mean by "empty"? Do you need software for specific purposes, or do you mean the look and feel? [07:13] it feels like a mac [07:13] frodubuntu, then use /unignore? [07:13] SiliconViper: since I'm not used to the x-chat, can you find out if Nikunj93 is still alive? [07:13] Ubuntu installs with a bunch of apps, basically anything you'd need for your day-to-day stuff. [07:13] yeah, [07:13] yes [07:13] I tyed several modes of it [07:14] i wish i discovered linux earlier during windows 98 days [07:14] Just stack poking around the menus and you'll see all the stuff it comes with. [07:14] frodubuntu, /whois Nikunj93 would do that. [07:14] I tryed /UNIGNORE Nikunj93 [07:14] yaris123456789: If you are coming from Windows, you might find KDE to be more friendly than gnome. Try "apt-get install kdebase", or if you're used to Vista, "apt-get install kde4base" [07:14] gorio: Sure. Uh, I'll actually give you a page which will explain how to install all sorts of software: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto Just find the simple-ccsm package and install it (as per that page). Let me know if you still have questions [07:14] alexbobp: oh i was told kde might be too resource intensive for this old comp [07:14] Nice thank you [07:14] Alex, don't confuse Yaris with another DE. Besides, Gnome is standard for Ubuntu so it's best he just learn that. [07:14] yaris123456789, win 98 days was not all that good as far as linux went stil to complicated then lol [07:14] alexbobp: I mean empty because it's much more clean. I do not mean it as an insult. In Windows there are things EVERYWHERE. Your computer feels very, very cluttered. With Ubuntu... I mean, look at it! You sit down and there's two basic panels with basic options that branch into advanced options, and there's a blank desktop that displays newly downloaded or plugged in items. [07:15] yaris123456789: what are the specs of your computer? [07:15] frodubuntu, /exec -o echo > ~/.xchat2/ignore.conf [07:15] intel celeron 2.4ghz 196mb ram [07:15] 40gb hd [07:15] frodubuntu, then reload XChat. [07:15] integrated video card [07:15] alexbobp, yaris123456789, kubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-kde4-desktop, respectively. [07:15] * minus the -o part. [07:15] /exec -o echo > ~/.xchat2/ignore.conf [07:15] Priest: well, I managed to make my computer plenty cluttered... but yeah, I see what you mean [07:15] I'm getting a grub error 25. I was able to reinstall grub but it had no effect. Where should I go from here? (Pastebin of my fdisk dump and menu.lst is at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16131) [07:15] ups sorry [07:15] thanks man [07:15] bloodrock: yes [07:15] jus ta sec then [07:15] frodubuntu, that clears your ignore list, the easy way. [07:16] hey guys [07:16] alexbobp: On Windows - where do I begin? There's stuff on the desktop, stuff on the start menu, stuff on the panels, stuff in the tray, stuff popping up, stuff flashing at you. If you plug something in you have to search and find where it installed. It's just cluttered feeling. [07:16] I ok [07:16] I'll be back [07:16] SiliconViper: thanks for your help, really :D [07:16] Priest, then the term you're looking for is 'clean', not 'empty'. [07:17] Priest: well, that's a matter of installed software. Windows tends to get crapped up quickly, but I think that's more because of developers who think their app is so cool it HAS to be running all the time. As much as I hate Windows, I don't think that's even Windows' fault. [07:17] Yeah, what Silicon said. [07:17] question: why is ubuntu free? [07:17] SiliconViper, No I stand by my "empty" assessment. It does feel "empty" to me. [07:17] yaris123456789, because it can be. [07:18] Yaris, that's partially for philisophical reasons. [07:18] Priest: fill it up then! [07:18] interesting [07:18] ok [07:18] alexbobp: I didn't mean to sound like I was attacking Windows, I apologize. === Veinor is now known as Veinor|ZzZ [07:18] so there is no desire to make money off ubuntu by its original authors ? [07:18] yaris123456789: because we're all communists :P [07:18] anybody here that I was helping just now? [07:18] has anybody here been through the problem of pam_encfs breakage on hardy? As described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpam-encfs/+bug/205783 = [07:18] Malone bug 205783 in libpam-encfs "pam-encfs fails on upgrade to Hardy" [Undecided,Confirmed] [07:18] with a partition issue? [07:18] alexbobp: I do! =p It has over half the 160 gig HDD full of music. [07:18] yaris123456789: Actually, Canonical makes money selling support packages. [07:18] They make money from support contracts, but those are purely optional. They don't make money off of the software. [07:18] ah i see just like red hat [07:18] Priest: I didn't take it that way, no worries [07:19] SiliconViper: well, thanks I'm back [07:19] yaris123456789, Ubuntu is made up of so many little pieces, all built and maintained by different people, it'd be kinda tough to sell and share the profit fairly. Soooo much management. [07:19] I'll learn that one I guess. today hasn't ben my day [07:19] well I'm soo thankful to ubuntu [07:19] Priest: Fill it up with tray icons. In my trays, I have the mixer, Amarok, keyboard layout switcher, freenet, knetworkmanager, kgpg, klipper, and kwallet. [07:19] you have no idea how much [07:20] SiliconViper: i see interesting [07:20] alexbobp: Firefox, Evolution, Amarok, PlaneShift, Terminal and Xchat on mine. [07:20] man it bugs me to have lost that person I was helping [07:20] frodubuntu, just remember: If someone asks something that YOU can help them with, please do. They'll appreciate it as much as you do, most of the time. [07:20] Basically, there's a bunch of Linux software out there. Each distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora etc.) collects it all up and puts it together in their own special way, puts their stamp on it, and ship it out the door. [07:20] Priest: what's firefox doing on your tray? [07:20] Im currently developing a course outline for ubuntu - and going to offer a complete computer package with ubuntu and 12 - 2 hour classes on how to use your computer oooooo [07:20] alexbobp, beat me to it. [07:21] I'm getting a grub error 25. I was able to reinstall grub but it had no effect. Where should I go from here? (Pastebin of my fdisk dump and menu.lst is at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16131, they look fine to me but they could be royally messed up and I probably couldn't tell) [07:21] alexbobp: My apologies again, i thought we were discussing the panel. [07:21] I am still relatively new to Ubuntu. [07:21] hello [07:21] SiliconViper: yeah, I do, I really believe in returning a micro portion of what I get with all of this [07:21] Priest: ah. Mine is relatively empty, because I am so used to just typing the names of programs to run them. So much more convenient than the dumb "start menu" [07:21] moustic, hello. [07:21] not in just being a parasyte [07:22] I don't think parasite is the correct term. The open source community generally embraces users who give nothing back. [07:22] alexbobp: I see. [07:22] If we expected repayment, we'd sell software. [07:22] For the past two days I've been told I have 99 updates available, but then it tells me I have to run a partial upgrade, so I go ahead with that and it dies with an "Unresolvable error" [07:22] i am unable to mount usbdevfs, do i need some special usb modules ? (with a gutsy default installation) [07:22] Is this happening for anyone else? [07:22] Yaris, the basic idea is that information and software should be free, and you should instead make money from the services that go along with them. === Dutt is now known as Dutt|bbl [07:23] i see [07:23] where can i find programs to install for ubuntu...instant messenger, winamp, and those stuff ? [07:23] like training and support [07:23] Jaymac: do you have a -proposed repo available? [07:23] alexbobp: I was referring to myself potentially being selfish and reluctant to give back [07:23] Flannel: yeah [07:23] yaris123456789: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto [07:23] yaris123456789: I think pidgin is installed by default [07:23] Jaymac: remove it. That's your problem. [07:23] and expressing my wanting to avoid that [07:23] yaris123456789: this philosophy says that if software is free (as in freedom), then we can continue to make progress together, instead of continually trying to reinvent the wheel better than the other guy. [07:23] okay [07:24] yaris123456789, http://www.linuxalt.com/ <- a Windows 2 Linux software list [07:24] Flannel: what is that ? [07:24] Yaris, most of that is already installed. Pidgin (IM client) is already installed. Rhythmbox is already installed. You can also find more programs by clicking on the Add / Remove icon on the menu. [07:24] yaris123456789: search the repos (via synaptic is easy, check that link) for stuff. [07:24] ok [07:24] Flannel, what's wrong with it... is it broken at the moment? [07:24] okay [07:24] wow [07:24] this is awesome [07:24] yaris123456789: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:24] thank you everyone [07:24] Is there a way to tell terminal that I want to run each command with sudo until exit? Or do I need to type sudo each time? [07:25] Jaymac: -proposed stuff is not stable. It is stuff that should be considered almost always "broken". It hasn't been tested, etc. [07:25] Priest: Type "sudo bash". Then it's basically like you're root until you type "exit". [07:25] Flannel: I know that, but it shouldn't crap out like this [07:25] Priest: `sudo -i` will get you a shell. Don't use it unless you need to. [07:25] SirAlexander: sudo -i is better than sudo bash [07:26] *notes both sudo tricks himself* [07:26] Jaymac: -proposed is not fit for human consumption. You can't expect it to not have dependency errors, since it may depend on stuff that will be updated, but haven't been yet, etc. [07:26] There are more ways than those two too. [07:26] SirAlexander, Flannel: Thanks. I only need to do it for the next five commands, then I'll restart terminal. I know not to run it constantly. =P Not unless I want someone to kick me out of the loop. [07:26] Priest: No need to restart, just "exit" [07:26] hey SiliconViper is it possible to find out whether somebody is logged in with a certain ip? [07:26] Flannel: Ok, thanks. =D [07:26] SiliconViper: hello [07:26] SirAlexander: Better to recommend "sudo -s" then "sudo bash". "sudo bash" will load root's profile, which will (among other things) prevent you from running X programs. [07:27] btw how do i enable firewall in ubuntu ? [07:27] alexbobp: Should use gksu (or kdesu) for graphical programs anyway [07:27] greetings [07:27] alexbobp, I heard its better to recommend "sudo -i" [07:27] alexbobp: There's some inherint safety in that though. But he said the command line, so that's the direction I was going. [07:27] how do i check my laptop for 3D acceleration? also, what is the command to show my cpu informatioms? thanks [07:27] !firewall | yaris123456789 [07:27] yaris123456789: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [07:27] How would I go about fixing a grub error 25 that happened after a reinstall of grub (which I did due to an error 15)? [07:27] Flannel: I know that, but proposed is supposed to be a testbed before things are rolled out (example Firefox RC) - it's never been broken for longer than a couple of hours [07:27] yaris: not sure i haven't bothered, but i know there is a builtin firewall in ubuntu, it must be under administration [07:27] SirAlexander: I'm wrong, "sudo bash" does work for X. It was "sudo su" that doesn't. [07:27] Flannel: oh ok that is sweet [07:27] hi Flannel, do you remember y'day I had problems installing Ubuntu on a new sys, and it would hang on the language section? [07:28] <{hydra}> cat /proc/cpuinfo [07:28] alexbobp: There's only about 50 different ways to do it :P [07:28] one more thing. i have to use alt+tab each time to switch between programs...how can i make it show like minimized programs at the bottom ? [07:28] alexbobp, but sudo su works from bash, for X. [07:28] somebody can give some indications with problems to mount usbdevfs? [07:28] Jaymac: It's broken until the broken packages get fixed (or in this case, their depends get packaged). AGain, its not meant for general consumption, so you shouldn't expect it to not be broken. [07:28] i just an ipod as a gift, what sofware works with in ubuntu and also there is no safely remve in ubuntu, how do you eject then? [07:28] Flannel: I eventually found out the cause of the problem.. it was the USB keyboard I was using.. switching to a PS/2 keyboard solved it [07:29] perlmonkey: good to know [07:29] yaris: right click on the panel and add a windows something [07:29] Yaris, there should just be a regular minimize button on each window, and when you click it, it should minimize, and you should then be able to click its button on the task bar. [07:29] i forget the name [07:29] !svn [07:29] svn is Subversion: an open-source revision control system, which aims to be a compelling replacement for CVS. See http://subversion.tigris.org/ [07:29] Jaffarkelshac: I use Amarok. To eject just right click on the iPod icon on your desktop and hit EJECT. [07:29] Flannel: ya, was just wondering if there is anywhere we could put that tip for others? [07:29] yaris: "window list, or window selector" depending on preference [07:29] Flannel: Of course I expect it to break. In my experience even pre-release repos have been updated quicker :) [07:30] ok, oh dont use amarok, i prefer banshee, i dont think it has ipod support PriceChild [07:30] I'm trying to install a program available only via SVN. I've already run 'svn co' and it appeared to have downloaded all the files... what is next? [07:30] perlmonkey: file a bug with launchpad, they may be able to fix it. [07:30] is it possible to find out somebody's nick based on just the ip address? [07:30] ok [07:30] PriceChild: sorry [07:30] Darlok_Williams: you will probably have to compile it [07:30] ok, oh dont use amarok, i prefer banshee, i dont think it has ipod support Priest [07:30] amirman84: i did right click but i do not see add a windows something [07:30] In-Sane``: you can check your processor with "uname -p" [07:30] amrik: Okay... but where did it save the source files? [07:30] Jaymac: during alpha/etc it was the regular repos being broken, not side repos. In theory no one uses proposed as a regular repo, and hiccups like that shouldn't affect anyone, as such, no hurry. [07:31] Yaris, he means if you right-click on a panel, there should be an option "Add to Panel". [07:31] Darlok_Williams: if you're lucky (and most likely you are), you can cd into the directory in bash and type "./configure" [07:31] Darlok_Williams: wherever you checkout the svn [07:31] after that, you can type "make" and then optionally "make install" [07:31] Jaffarkelshac: I have not used banshee, but I can assure you that Amarok works perfectly well with my iPod. it even scrobbles my plays on last.fm when I plug it in. [07:31] amrik: Ah... found it, but there's no configure script. [07:31] How would I go about diagnosing a grub error 25 that happened after a reinstall of grub (which I did due to an error 15)? [07:31] is it possible to find out somebody's nick based on just the ip address? I'm trying to find back somebody I was helping [07:31] !checkinstall | Darlok_Williams [07:31] satokun, did you edit your menulst flie [07:31] Darlok_Williams: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [07:31] ok im at the add items to the panel [07:31] Darlok_Williams: if there is no configure script, just try make [07:31] Darlok_Williams: I see, is there configure.ac? signs that automake could be used? [07:31] ok, thanks Priest i will try it [07:32] alexbobp: Yep, tried that... lots of errors :) [07:32] Yaris, you want the Window List item. Scroll down until you find it, click on it, then click the Add button. [07:32] godkas, CTRL + ALT + Backspace restarts X [07:32] Darlok_Williams: see if you can find the first error message it prints. That will probably be complaining about a missing .h file. Then you can try to find what package you need to provide that header. [07:32] bloodrock: I think an update edited my menu.lst actually. There were two entries, completely identical for the same hardy install. I trimmed one but it's still giving me the error. [07:32] yaris123456789: right click on the panel in an empty space / then select "add to panel" / then select "window list" [07:33] okay [07:33] bloodrock: I have a pastebin of it if that'd help. [07:33] Although a Window List item should already be on the panel by default. I don't know why it wouldn't be. [07:33] yaris123456789: if you have any more questions feel free to PM me, i'm exiting this channel [07:33] sato i looked at your paste bin [07:33] amirman okay [07:34] bloodrock: Is there anything wrong with my menu.lst? I'm thinking that has to be what's wrong, but I don't know how to fix it if it is. [07:35] What partitoners come on the alternate/server cds? [07:35] Probably fdisk. [07:35] is it possible to find out somebody's nick based on just the ip address? I'm trying to find back somebody I was helping === Yahuda__ is now known as Yahuda [07:35] fdisk doesn't do resizing though. [07:35] {hydra}: thanks. got it :) [07:36] There's another newer fdisk-type util too, though I don't remember its name and I'm not sure if it does resizing either. [07:36] hello [07:36] satokun, you get error when trying to run the 7.10 [07:36] gparted is handy SirAlexander [07:36] yeah [07:36] satokun, or just the 8.04 [07:36] Livecds don't boot on this system. [07:36] That's true, but Ashfire was asking about the server CD, so I'm guessing he doesn't have a GUI. I don't know if gparted works on command line or not. [07:37] SirAlexander, that would be 'parted' :) or 'cfdisk' then [07:37] bloodrock: I now get the same error 25 when trying to run any of my three installs or their recovery modes. Disk read error. [07:37] Yeah Ashfire, what willis said... try parted. [07:37] well either I find a thing for the installer cd, or I install a gui system. [07:37] bloodrock: prior to the reinstall of grub, I got a 15 on all three. [07:37] Hi, can anyone here go to darkmewtwo.ath.cx and tell me if it works? [07:37] It's not on the cd. [07:38] ..? [07:38] how do i make the panel wider....like clikc on edge and drag it so that the panel is wide... [07:38] Right-click on the panel > properties > adjust size. [07:38] satokun, did you get error b4 or after editing menu.lst [07:39] Guys, my cd/dvd rom drive refuses to come out, and the system is not detecting it, please help. [07:39] SirAlexander: when i do that the size increases...i just want the panel to be wider [07:39] Tux, have a paper clip handy? [07:39] bloodrock: before and after. 15 before grub reinstall, 25 both before and after the menu.lst edit. [07:39] : Excuse me? [07:40] <_Master> i trying to run "./configure" in an extracted folder of program source code and its saying no such directory, what am i doing wrong, i remember having this problem before and finding a fix... [07:40] Yaris, check the "expand" box [07:40] Tux, if your drive won't open you may need to use a paper clip in the emergency release hole. [07:40] SirAlexander: okay expand is on [07:40] satokun, i don't see anything wrong in menu.lst [07:40] : Will a needle do the job? [07:41] can you ping a range of ips on a network to see which is live? [07:41] ok, i have two kernels now after the update, how do i remove the old one? [07:41] Tux: Yes. Anything thin enough to fit in the whole yet still has some strength to it. [07:42] satokun, as i read it you have 2 vers of 7.10 is that right [07:42] <_Master> i trying to run "./configure" in an extracted folder of program source code and its saying no such directory, what am i doing wrong, i remember having this problem before and finding a fix... [07:42] Why does this happen? My sound is working fine, then a few minutes later, the sound stops working. The way to fix this is to restart. Is there another method to use? [07:42] sato and 1 ver of 8.04 [07:42] theFATMAN: kernels are not space hoggers so you dont have to remove it, its good to have if something goes wrong or not work with new kernel, you comment it out in menu.lst [07:42] In my Windows partition, my sound does not stop working like this, by the way. [07:42] bloodrock: yes. it was my early ubuntu experiments. They're on a seperate drive from 8.04 and /home. One's clean, one's a bit played with. [07:42] i mean to so say you can comment it out theFATMAN [07:43] Any ideas why? [07:43] jaffarkelshac: thanks dude [07:43] bloodrock: neither boot, same error [07:43] how do i identify, what make and model my hdd is without opening my laptop to check the tags on my hdd. [07:43] * perlmonkey has filed his first bug [07:44] satokun, and these are all on 3 seperate hd's [07:44] and i dont want to reboot my laptop and check from the bios if possible ;) [07:44] <_Master> yeah [07:44] <_Master> i trying to run "./configure" in an extracted folder of program source code and its saying no such directory, what am i doing wrong, i remember having this problem before and finding a fix... [07:44] np theFATMAN [07:44] bloodrock: 8.04, /home and both 7.10 installs are each on seperate drives. [07:45] alexbobp: u still here mate? [07:45] sato you put the/home on a 4th drive? [07:45] ok chanel [07:45] I think I'm going to leave for a little while [07:45] it has been good to see you guys [07:45] I'm back [07:45] bloodrock: no, there are three drives. One has 8.04, the largest has /home, and the smallest has both 7.10s [07:45] cheers [07:45] Don't forget my eggs frodubuntu [07:46] bloodrock: since /home is pretty portable from what I could find between flavors, I gave it it's own drive. [07:46] can you do /home as a separate partition in the regular install cd or do you have to use alternate? [07:46] alexbobp: i did wat u said but it did not fix it.. [07:47] I think you can manually specify your partition configuration using the LiveCD, amrik. [07:47] amrik you can choose your partitions [07:47] satokun, ok was this running with /home on seperate drive with both 7.10 b4 installing 8.04 [07:47] : I did it! Thanks very much for your help. :) [07:47] You're welcome Tux :). [07:48] gaurav: istall package gnome-device-manager [07:48] hey guys is there a way of making it always use DISPLAY=:0 [07:48] gaurav: install package gnome-device-manager [07:48] in terminal [07:48] bloodrock: yes. the whole thing was running fine till I did an 8.04 update reboot. [07:48] "export DISPLAY=:0" [07:48] how do i complete uninstalll (including databases) mysql5 then reinstall it? [07:48] guys is there a way i can install gfx drivers with the command line b4 loging into ubuntu? [07:49] bloodrock: as of a week ago I was able to boot into all three installs each recognizing my /home properly. It's not the least complex thing in the world but it worked fine. [07:49] If you want the variable to stay set each time you reboot, you'll have to stick it in a script somewhere that gets loaded on boot. [07:49] SirAlexander, like /etc/rc.local? export DISPLAY=:0? [07:49] Dutt: Yes. Are you looking to install the Ubuntu provided drivers, or the drivers downloaded from nVidia? [07:50] tsu, that should work fine. [07:50] satokun, did you check gparted to see if it shows drives in order to how you had each set to it's drive maybe drive order got changed? [07:50] Hi there! Is anyone here a LIRC expert? [07:50] thanks =) [07:50] You're welcome :). [07:50] bloodrock: fdisk_dump is in my pastebin. as far as I can tell nothind's different, but lemmie doublecheck. [07:50] SirAlexander: it doesnt bother me any that work ill b happy with..at the moment i cant see anything unless i press ctl-alt-f1 [07:51] (my screen turns off) [07:51] If you want to install Ubuntu supplied drivers from the command line, you'll have to sudo apt-get install the right packages. If you download the nVidia drivers, you'll have to install some dev packages (build-essential) and then compile the driver (actually the kernel interface) yourself. [07:52] Hi there. I'm trying to make my startup a little smoother. I'm trying to get Quod Libet and Thunderbird to appear at startup, both in the system tray. Thunderbird has no system tray icon, so I use kdocker. But it always shows some dialog saying "System tray appears to be hidden" and I have to click it away before Thunderbird starts. [07:52] How do I check my graphics drivers from terminal? [07:52] bloodrock: that looks right. hda is /home (200gb) hdb is 8.04 and hdc are my 7.10s [07:52] SirAlexander: i have no idea how to do that [07:53] how do i know wat packages to install? [07:53] *compares* [07:53] SirAlexander: I don't think that they need to be compiled [07:53] hi all can some one help me out please? i updated my ubuntu and now the grub menu is not shown anymore it just shows me a grub> prompt [07:53] Weird networking issue here. I just hooked 2 pc's up to a linksys switch, now both machines are getting very slow networking speeds, and often cutting out at times. lagg in games. and so forth. Its ttill happening even after i unplug one of the machines fron the network [07:53] Basically, right now, I just want to know how to get that dialog to stop appearing at startup. [07:53] raymond: was /boot/grub/menu.lst removed? [07:54] Starnestommy: If you download the drivers from nVidia's website, you do have to compile the kernel module. [07:54] TiZ_: is the notification area applet working? [07:54] <_Master> im trying to run "./configure" in an extracted folder of program source code and its saying no such directory, what am i doing wrong, i remember having this problem before and finding a fix... [07:54] Their script will compile it for you, but yo have to have the right dev packages installed. [07:54] Yup. Quod Libet, Thunderbird, and the Fusion-Icon are currently there. [07:54] now anybody who i can get a hydra gtk deb for ubuntu 8.04? [07:55] well if i type find /boot/grub/menu.lst it returns that it cant be found so i think ur right [07:55] Dutt: I don't remember the exact names of the Ubuntu nVidia packages. You could try typing "sudo apt-get install nvidia" at the command line and see if it gives you any hints of package names. [07:55] bloodrock: hd1 should be 8.04, hd0 /home hd2,1/2,3 my 7.10s I think. [07:55] Will a package hold prevent a package from being replaced in a distro upgrade? [07:55] SirAlexander: ok thanks [07:55] You're welcome [07:56] so they are allready on my system? [07:56] Using sudo apt-get downloads and installs software from the repositories, so it adds software to your system. [07:56] cant install ia32-sun-java6-bin Error: could not open `/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/lib/i386/jvm.cfg' pls help [07:56] ok thanks [07:56] good morning! [07:56] Is there some way I can make kdocker run only after the system tray is visible? [07:57] if i type find /boot/grub/menu.lst it returns that it cant be found so i think ur right [07:57] Tiz_: You could always hack it by making a script that runs and sleeps for, oh, say, 15 seconds or so, and then loads kdocker for you. [07:57] bloodrock: grub stage1 and stage2 are on the 8.04 drive. if it couldn't read the drive it shouldn't be able to start grub and show me all three installs. [07:57] how can i connect with a windows vista via ethernet cable? [07:58] That would be good enough for me. How do I make it sleep, and where would I put the script? === Dutt is now known as Dutt|bbl [07:58] Dutt: try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", and then try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" again [07:58] hi [07:58] Dutt: try nvidia-glx-new [07:58] ok thanks guys [07:58] !hi | pen [07:58] pen: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [07:58] TiZ_: Do yo have any programming experience? [07:58] <_Master> im trying to run "./configure" in an extracted folder of program source code and its saying no such directory, what am i doing wrong, i remember having this problem before and finding a fix... [07:58] ubot3, hi [07:58] christoz rdesktop comp_name or use vncviewer [07:58] selocol, hi [07:58] _Master: does ./configure exist? [07:59] SirAlexander: Yeah, a little. C#, Java, VB, etc. But I've only just started using Linux. [07:59] cant install ia32-sun-java6-bin Error: could not open `/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/lib/i386/jvm.cfg' guys need help [07:59] kley actuall i want to transfer files to the vista's hd for a back up [07:59] satokun, it looks good to me and you said it all worked [07:59] satokun, until update [07:59] is it possible to have quotas on SMB shares, and how would I go about implementing this? [07:59] bloodrock: it did. now it doesn't [08:00] Does anyone know where I can find a halfway decent bash guide that's free? I want to be able to show my friends linux without worrying about them blowing up everything. [08:00] TiZ_: If I was going to do such a thing myself, I would use Python. There's a place you can stick scripts to make KDE run them automatically, something like ~/.kde/Autostart, something like that, but I don't quite remember. It's been a long time since I've really used KDE> [08:00] exactly [08:00] I'm using Gnome. [08:00] kdocker works in Gnome too, supposedly. [08:00] Oh [08:00] Well then. [08:00] mount them manualy if you know the path or use samba [08:00] And someone recommended it to me over alltray [08:00] <_Master> what do you mean Starnestommy? [08:00] _Master: does the ./configure script exist? [08:01] kley are you talking to me? [08:01] <_Master> i dont know? [08:01] TiZ_: In that case, you can create an entry for the script in the Sessions window, and it'll load with Gnome. [08:01] hello! [08:01] _Master: run "ls | grep configure" [08:01] bloodrock: I'll go check it one more time to be sure. [08:01] satokun, maybe try like editing or comment out all but first linux in the list and see if that does anything [08:01] Is there some way to disable the computer sounds? Like when you press a key too much and get this electronic noise? [08:01] Any old shell script? Or does it have to be Python? [08:01] how can I set up disk usage quotas on SMB shares? [08:02] bloodrock: I'll comment them out and give it a shot. It'll be a few minutes. [08:02] Anything executable, script, binary etc. If you can get a shell script to sleep, then that'd work fine. I personally don't know how, as I haven't played with shell scripts of that sort much. [08:02] How can i transfer files from an Ubuntu system to a Windows VIsta one? [08:02] <_Master> nothing is happening Starnestommy [08:02] via ethernet cable [08:02] _Master: then ./configure does not exist [08:02] * perlmonkey is drinking water flat out like a lizard [08:02] <_Master> how do i make it exist then Starnestommy lol [08:03] TiZ_: If Java is in your path, you could technically even make a little Java program to do it, but then of course you'd have the overhead of it loading the Java VM when Gnome loads. [08:03] I'm hoping someone can help me, I just updated to 8.04. And now after every apt-get upgrade I get an error mentioning bastille. I cannot even apt-get remove bastille or I get the same error over and over... [08:03] <_Master> its a key component of using linux i dont see why it wouldnt naturally come with it [08:03] _Master: does autogen.sh exist? [08:03] <_Master> how would i find that out? [08:03] _Master: ls [08:03] quit() [08:04] christoz, you should be able to see your vista via places>network [08:04] dgunn: Have you tried to "fix" your packages? [08:04] christoz unless you haven't setup shares on vista [08:04] <_Master> "ls" brings up a bunch of crap in terminal Starnestommy [08:04] bloodrock what's the steps for both sides? [08:05] how do i set up disk usage quotas for smb shares? [08:05] _Master: is autogen.sh in that crap? [08:05] SirAlexander: Sorry. I don't want to create a whole program just to start one a certain way. That seems too much trouble. [08:05] lol [08:05] francais utilisant ubuntu [08:05] Thanks for the help anyways, though. [08:05] christo from ubuntu you setup a share via samba [08:05] TiZ_: That's fine. That's the best way to get what you want quickly. Wouldn't be any more than, say, 15 lines, but it's up to you. [08:05] <_Master> no i dont think so Starnestommy [08:06] can any one share his content of his /etc/ia32-java-6-sun if you own this [08:06] _Master: what is the source code for? [08:06] can any one share his content of his /etc/ia32-java-6-sun if you own this, mine was accidently deleted === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [08:06] lol [08:06] <_Master> a webcam driver Starnestommy [08:06] How should i be able to see the window vista(linked via ethernet cable) via places->network? [08:06] aucun francais à la discution [08:07] hello [08:07] when u r installing ubuntu 8... at 29% takes a LONG time ? or my install got stuck ? ;D [08:07] _Master: check the readme or install files [08:07] now anybody who i can get a hydra gtk deb for ubuntu 8.04? [08:07] !fr | nauj64 [08:07] nauj64: 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 [08:07] !fr | nauj64 [08:07] <_Master> i did [08:07] christoz in vista can open my computer right click on drive that you wanna share choose propty' then the tab labeled share [08:07] merci compris [08:07] _Master: try running autoconf [08:07] I'm going to bed everyone. Goodnight. [08:07] kley: can't you just reinstall the sun java package? [08:07] <_Master> Logitech Quickcam Express USB Driver - 1. How to compile? - Just use a plain "make" to compile the driver. [08:08] bloodrock sounds to simple to be true :p [08:08] Slart : when reinstaling that package i got the same error [08:08] christo click on places then network then should see windowsnetwork that is if you have folders or drive set to be shared on vista [08:09] Hi all!:) [08:09] bloodrock: commenting out the other entries made them disappear. Error 25: Disk Read Error (for normal), Error 15: File not found (for recovery) and the memtest works fine now (but it was erroring out too). [08:09] thanks bloodrock [08:09] anybody know why my smb shares don't show up in vista? [08:09] <_Master> if i just do "make" it just gives me basically a help menu on "make" options Starnestommy [08:09] i cant seem to load my nvidia drivers can anyone help me on that please? [08:09] Slart i need it only to run sun's wtk on my 64 bit ubuntu [08:09] _Master: what are the options? [08:09] cristoz no prob [08:09] kley: hang on.. I'll check what's in my config [08:09] I have a problem with reading videos, when I read them they are "flashing", but when I put the wide screen on the video is fine. I have an ATI video card and I recently added 3D effects on my desktop. [08:10] Bllz: have you enabled printer and file sharing in the vista firewall? [08:10] Bllz: i've had that problem before except with XP. i just manually typed in the address instead of clicking browse. [08:10] bloodrock: the 8.04 disk reads fine under the live cd and a disk check shows it's working properly on the hardware level. [08:10] <_Master> 3 different "make all" options, 3 different "make install" options, and 1 "make clean" option Starnestommy [08:10] remoteCTRL i believe so [08:10] but iĺl check [08:10] _Master: try make all [08:10] yeah;) [08:11] InvaderAmoto... how would I determine the ip?

[08:24] i now that the package not exist on packages.ubuntu.com my question is who i can find this [08:25] remoteCTRL: i'm no pro but did u install it from hardware drivers in ubuntu or from nvidia's site? [08:25] hell|shock_: i suggest you use google, there is also yahoo and altavista or norhtern lights... [08:25] bloodrock: both the normal and recovery entries come back 15 file not found [08:25] InvaderAmoto: after i had a blank screen after upgrading to hardy i made the mistake to install from nvidia page...

[08:26] InvaderAmoto: i cant tell i just get a flickering nvidia splashscreen on boot for three times then find myself in vesa [08:26] satokun, add 1 to the sdb [08:26] sdb1 [08:26] InvaderAmoto: i can exclude a xorg.conf problem though [08:26] bloodrock: ok. sorry for the delay, I just have to boot to the live cd each time. [08:26] remoteCTRL: heh i was just gonna say u should go to recovery mode then choose to fix xorg.conf === Lerpsu is now known as oQuQo [08:27] InvaderAmoto: hehe, yeah i messed arround with that xorg.conf for about three hours xyesterday i can really exclude it... [08:27] remoteCTRL: a while back i tried installing from the nvidia site and it screwed up my xorg.conf pretty badly. even doing that recovery mode fix wouldn't work [08:28] remoteCTRL: i ended up reinstalling ubuntu. haha [08:28] InvaderAmoto: phunny thing is if i lokk into system/administratin/hardware drivers i see the driver as ENABLED [08:28] remoteCTRL: hmm. try disabling it there [08:28] hey guys if there are other users on my system and im sshLing in how can i send them messages. [08:28] but when i f ex try to run nvidia-settings it say you dont seem to have nvidia drivers running [08:28] remoteCTRL: maybe u have it installed twice! [08:28] the nvidia module is loaded though [08:29] actually i have installed it three times [08:29] i also have nvidia legacy and nvidia new in ther [08:29] remoteCTRL: i see. well that cant help [08:29] any clues. [08:29] which is interesting becvause i definitely removed it all [08:30] remoteCTRL: i would uninstall everything that comes in the repos and just leave the one installed from the nvidia site and see if that works [08:30] remoteCTRL: so I map a network drive as \\servername\sharename ? [08:30] is there a way to have a window popup with my message on it. [08:30] remoteCTRL: O [08:30] remoteCTRL: thats wierd [08:30] i have yesterday removed/purged: all that has a nvidia in its name, all that has xorg in its name, all linux kernels including modules and headers [08:30] snarkster: I don't think so [08:30] hello all [08:30] InvaderAmoto: you can sing it man [08:30] hmm i thought wall did that. [08:30] is there any way to restore firefox installation? my firefox crashes all the time [08:31] remoteCTRL: if i were u i would just do a reinstall ubuntu. it only takes like 30 mins maybe less. [08:31] snarkster: wall is just in terminals, I think [08:31] and there's also some problem with the profiles [08:31] but if i sudo shutdown itll popup a message telling them.. interesting [08:31] have tried reinstalling it few times [08:31] InvaderAmoto: well i got loads of dater on here and i have a raid 5 running and loads of other stuff so reinstalling is not an option at all...:/ [08:32] When my computer boots up, on the bootloader menu, i get both " [08:32] Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-17" and one that's 2.6.24-16 [08:32] why is this? [08:32] remoteCTRL: i see. well thats a problem [08:32] thank you. [08:32] InvaderAmoto: but thanks for trying anyways;) [08:32] yaksha: sounds like a bug [08:32] remoteCTRL: you could do some partitioning if you know what your doing with that [08:32] and what's the difference between 2.6.24-7 and 2.6.24-6? [08:32] both of them have a generic and a recovery mode option [08:33] i got a question (im a complete nub to linux) i just installed Ubuntu to my PC on free space i had left after installing Vista. I used the live CD it said the instalation was complete however when ubuntu boots from the default choice . I get a command line interface (busybox) how do i get to a GUI? [08:33] Starnestommy: old pr0 would like to help me out? [08:33] Will a package hold prevent a package from being replaced in a distro upgrade? [08:33] InvaderAmoto: yeah i do but as said its lvm and raid and all and that is hell of a job to get it right once you dont wanna create it new... [08:33] remoteCTRL: with what? [08:33] Starnestommy, mine did that too today when the system did a kernel update nothing to worry about [08:33] what port does xchat-gnome use and is it possible to change it? [08:34] Starnestommy: i cant seem to get my nvidia drivers loaded and im completely outta ideas... [08:34] ildude: for irc or dcc? [08:34] remoteCTRL: you could also transfer that data although that could be a pain in the ass [08:34] for dcc [08:34] hey, im looking for offline downloader of sites that can do recursive folders and get only *.html files etc... ideas for program? [08:34] remoteCTRL: I'm not sure what to do, sorry [08:34] ildude: it picks a random one [08:34] InvaderAmoto: talking bout 1,5 terrabyte;) [08:35] Starnestommy: *sigh* thanks tho dude [08:35] remoteCTRL: o...haha thats a lot. i guess i cant help you than [08:35] Trying to install ubuntu server in qemu, but it's having an error that it can't detect a cd-rom drive and then if I manually select one it doesn't work either.. [08:35] any ideas? [08:35] InvaderAmoto + remote CTRL: IT WORKS! YOU GUYS ARE GENIUSES. I am one happy n00b. [08:35] thank you! [08:35] InvaderAmoto: yeah i know but i appreciate you trying;) [08:35] Bllz: np [08:35] bloodrock: both the normal and recovery entries still come back 15 file not found [08:35] remoteCTRL: np [08:35] remoteCTRL: check /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if the drivers are being loaded in there [08:35] Bllz: heh glad i could help gg [08:36] ubuntu-8.04-desktop-amd64.iso works for intel quadcore too ? ;D [08:36] bloodrock: I checked while I was in nautilus on the live cd, and the files are there. [08:36] Starnestommy: yeah thats basically the point; i can completely rule out the xorg.conf... [08:36] DarkYoh: I think so [08:36] hmmm, which ports would i have to open on my firewall? [08:36] ok ty ;D [08:36] ildude: you might be able to tell xchat-gnome to use a specific range [08:37] ildude: sry man i cant tell by heart which ports dcc uses, best google for it [08:37] :) [08:37] DCC has no specific standard ports [08:37] Negromancer: according to man aptitude yes it will prevent upgrade [08:37] Starnestommy: that is bad then XD [08:37] ok, thanks for the help. [08:38] gawd someone save me pls:/ [08:38] satokun, just thought of something your menu.lst shows (hd1,0) if i not mistakenit should be (hd1,1) [08:38] if i don't have a public share, the password is the username/pass from the ubuntu account, right? [08:38] Bllz: right [08:38] remoteCTRL: how did u rule out xorg.conf? [08:39] Bllz: yes [08:39] remoteCTRL: try running "X :1" and see what errors that gives out [08:39] InvaderAmoto: by playing arround with it for hours [08:39] remoteCTRL + InvaderAmoto: how come it's not being accepted then? [08:39] Bllz: try not putting anything in [08:39] InvaderAmoto: i let nevidia-xconfig create one for example, and so further and so on... [08:39] bloodrock: when I installed grub it only listed 1,0 as a root. 0 is the first partition on the drive and it's not my swap (I don't think, at least, it never was before...) [08:39] remoteCTRL: did u try the recovery mode thing? [08:39] InvaderAmoto: the ok box is grayed out until i type something [08:40] Bllz: you need to login explicilta with that user otherwise you use your windows user;) [08:40] Bllz: then check to see what the domain is [08:40] it says it's mapped using a different user name and password [08:40] Bllz: make sure its the same domain that your ubuntu computer is on [08:40] InvaderAmoto: gnome failsave works but that would be vesa not nvidia [08:40] InvaderAmoto... what does that mean? lol [08:40] satokun, (hd1.0) point to the mbr partition hd1,1 would be the ext3 partiton [08:40] Starnestommy: how do i do that? mean the xorg.conf entry? [08:41] remoteCTRL: whats gnome failsave? i mean in grub u can choose recovery mode or something like that [08:41] remoteCTRL: not sure what you mean. it prompts me for a username and pass... i give it the username/pass that i used to create it in ubuntu, and it's apparently not mapped to that user [08:41] remoteCTRL: and then u can choose to fix xorg.conf [08:41] remoteCTRL: what do you mean? [08:41] bloodrock: worth a shot. back in a few. === selocol_ is now known as selocol [08:41] InvaderAmoto: oh that you mean, yeah but thats just like running single user mode with less things avail... [08:42] do i need to create an ubuntu user with the same credentials as my windows user? [08:42] remoteCTRL: have you done it? i think you might be thinking of something else [08:42] Starnestommy: (09:39:03 AM) Starnestommy: remoteCTRL: try running "X :1" and see what errors that gives out [08:42] InvaderAmoto: yeah but as i repeatedly said now i have no need to fixy the xorg.conf as it does not represent the problem [08:42] ;) [08:43] Bllz: if ur connecting to a ubuntu share from vista, it should ask for username password and domain (at least in XP it does) and make sure all of the things u put in there are the same things as your ubuntu machine [08:43] remoteCTRL: what errors are printed when you run the command Xorg :1? [08:43] InvaderAmoto... what's a domain... is that like the server's name? [08:43] oh! says command not found [08:43] like ubuntu-desktop? [08:44] remoteCTRL: i dont how you could be that positive about it being not xorg.conf's fault. your not telling me what you did to rule it out. [08:44] remoteCTRL: what about X :1? [08:44] Bllz: go to system, administrator, network [08:44] Bllz: InvaderAmoto got a point in that, need to add the samba share to the workgroup to work properly... [08:44] anybody know at what time cron.weekly is run on a default ubuntu install, and how the time can be adjusted? [08:44] yeah the funniest thing just happened which actually isn't that funny...

[08:50] Hi everybody! I run ubuntu on my PC which connects to the internet through a non-wireless router. Using a wireless usb stick on the PC is there any EASY way of sharing the internet(I'd like to connect my PDA). nm-applet doesn't seem to help much....

[08:52] Dr_willis: well i wouldnt go that far hehe [08:52] chunchun: i wouldnt install them from the nvidia site [08:52] anyone? [08:52] invader, i tried the hardware driver from the system settings [08:52] Starnestommy: well basically i started messing arround because i had a blank screen after upgrading to hardy in the first place.. [08:52] didn't work. [08:52] legend: tried that as one of the first things I did, made no difference, and older than my last backup before I started wouldn't work because the configuration was way different [08:52] satokun, i'm stumped can't figure where the prob is [08:52] InvaderAmoto: still doesn't work [08:52] remoteCTRL, i would. :) there was a site the other day with the '10 worse must have apps' :) they really hammered on how flash is way abused/used too much :) [08:52] damn ASUS W7SG NOTEBOOK [08:53] Bllz: ok. so when you try to connect to the share from vista what does it ask for? [08:53] well what's the command to install a tar.gz type of thing? [08:53] Dr_willis: well you ouhgt not believe everything you read on the internet;) [08:53] bloodrock: I can't make any changes on this computer, so unless I could get supergrub through the live cd it wouldn't help me [08:53] i cant boot anyone help! [08:53] zachalink: extract it, then read the readme and install files that come with it [08:53] help :( i have reinstalled ubuntu about 10 times now working with different ways of installing the driver [08:53] but nothing works [08:54] it asks for the user name and pass. when I enter it, it says ẗhe network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share.

[09:10] InvaderAmoto: Not for me.... What do you mean by "worked", and what config do you have? [09:10] askbahr: i have a tv tuner card that came with a remote. try using the remote urs came with (assuming your using a tv tuner card) [09:11] ikonia: this is an NTFS filesystem under ubuntu if that matters... [09:11] goblok [09:11] ikonia, there's something in xbase-clients that provides the functionality. [09:11] Bllz: ok, so root is the owner of that file system at the file system level [09:11] it also says my monitor is undetected and i have to use generic.. [09:11] ikonia: yes [09:11] Bllz: oooh your trying to share out an NTFS file system under linux [09:11] althought i'm sure that i'm 1280x800 widescreen.. [09:11] but it still shows 800x600 after i configured it [09:11] Bllz: that can get messy due to only read support without fuse [09:11] ackbahr: like if i press vol up the volume will go up and play plays things if totem is open [09:11] ackbahr: etc [09:11] okay so i should format? [09:11] is JFS okay? [09:11] wht [09:12] yahh [09:12] Bllz: thats up to you, but I wouldn't share out NTFS file systems in anything else other than read only [09:12] hay iiiikkkkk !!!

Software Sources is no go [09:12] Help :( [09:12] ikonia: ext3 is slower than jfs if i'm not mistaken. then again this is a USB HDD so that will probably be the bottleneck. You reccomend ext3 then? [09:12] kahrytan: check your users crontab [09:13] pedekate bajunggak gante sudaseharian loe kagak mnde [09:13] Bllz: your using samba.....the bottleneck will be the network stack interface to your remote disk.

[09:31] so a group is just that... a collection of users [09:31] though I have on ether device [09:31] Bllz: I only asked about windows to give you something to relate to [09:32] Bllz: thats it [09:32] my mic doesnt seem to be working.. i've trial-and-errored all the inputs in audacity.. cant seem to get it to work =/ [09:32] right right. okay! makes sense! thanks [09:32] kahrytan: yes, it would change the checksum, but I don't think your method would work, of course your welcome to try it [09:32] is there a way i can check? [09:32] insertable: disconnect and reconnect the mouse.. should work again [09:32] i want help :( [09:32] chunchun: we know [09:32] chunchun: ask your question [09:32] chunchun, what's your problem? [09:32] insertable: are you using a KVM? [09:32] yay [09:32] chunchun: sorry about the earlier [09:32] attention [09:32] Slart: that stops it from having a seizure momentarily, until next time [09:33] this is my problem. [09:33] darrend: KVM? [09:33] Slart: Bllz nvidia 9300 not working at correct resolution with the nvidia-new driver [09:33] Slart: Bllz as a summary for him [09:33] chunchun: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia to see if your card is compatible [09:33] I am using an ASUS W7Sg with a graphic card Nvidia 9300 GO which doesn't work with correct resolution no matter whatever i try and [09:33] hmm.. chunchun... have you tried using envy? [09:33] insertable: switch box that allows multiple PC's/servers to share keyboard/video/mouse [09:33] yes [09:33] envyng [09:33] insertable: I don't really know what's causing it.. perhaps try playing with what driver you use [09:33] darrend: nope [09:33] !envyng [09:33] 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. [09:33] tried that, and i tried installing directly from nvidia.com and also from the ubuntu driver hardwares [09:34] chunchun: out of advice then! lol sorry [09:34] It seems that no one wants to help :( [09:34] ikonia: ah.. thanks [09:34] try ubuntuforums [09:34] chunchun: you didn't need to use envy/or the drivers from nvidia, that could be the problem you've now messed up your install/modules [09:34] ikonia [09:34] insertable: ok - I know this was a problem a couple of years ago in vanilla kernels, but seemed related to kvm hardware [09:34] HazemMohamed: try stating your problem again [09:34] i have reinstalled [09:34] each time [09:34] i changed the drivers [09:34] !enter | chunchun [09:34] chunchun: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:34] i can tell you i reinstalled at least 10 times lol! [09:35] chunchun: I don't think I see that card on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia [09:35] ikonia, it's read only now [09:35] does that mean it won't work? [09:35] chunchun: the nvidia-glx-new package should be enough to run that card [09:35] darrend: just using some generic ps/2 scroll mouse [09:35] when I used arping command to the router it pings to the right mac address [09:35] ikonia, When I do find the app, ill report it so it doesnt do it [09:35] then after or 2 or 3 requests it is changed to another false address [09:36] Starnestommy: I think that page is outdated.. [09:36] okay then i shall reinstall it [09:36] the whole ubuntu [09:36] lol [09:36] insertable: did disconnecting/reconnecting it work ? [09:36] !enter chunchun [09:36] Factoid enter chunchun not found [09:36] how to install sun-java6-jdk but the 32 bit version on a 64 bit ubuntu ? [09:36] darrend: nah, it still happens later on [09:36] ikonia: is it possible to have an smb share where anyone can read but only predefined users can write? ... is that the guest option? [09:36] !enter | chunchun [09:36] darrend: it's pretty random [09:36] kley: ubuntu is not multi-lib [09:36] <[K4z3yu]> high-freq, I have an amd64 processor along with a Gefore 6800 gpu, 2GB ram and 2 SATA drives. I had Ubuntu working on my previous computer and decied to try out 8.04 on this computer. I put the live disc in and run it, the loading goes smooth, but once the loading has finished, all I get is green and teal vertical stripes flickering on my screen. The same applies if I try to install it directly, I also tried an non-amd64 version of 7.10, b [09:36] <[K4z3yu]> ut the same problem persists. [09:37] darrend: sometimes the screen will flicker for like 10 minutes at a time and i need to shutdown X [09:37] Bllz: sure, you may want to look at the read= and write= options in the smb.conf file, as well as file ssytem permissions eg: everyone read only, but a specific group has read-write access [09:37] insertable: yeah, I know the symptoms :( [09:37] I have a Windows partition and an Ubuntu partition and needed to do a clean re-install on the Windows partition. So I did, and then used a recovery console to get GRUB re-installed and return to Ubuntu. For some reason my video drivers and sound drivers have disappeared, even though the software is all still installed. And who knows what else. That's all I've found so far. It's very strange. Anyone know what could be wrong? TIA [09:37] insertable: could be a dodgy mouse spamming the xserver [09:37] insertable: tried a different one? [09:38] :( [09:38] darrend: could be. never happened with previous mice. and nah, is the only one i have for the moment :< [09:38] ikonia, heres the error with web added "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/Release Unable to find expected entry web/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)" [09:38] darrend: trainee wages.. [09:38] kahrytan: I know what the error will be [09:38] so i need the 32bit java package to run sun's wtk ,i got it working by installing ia32-sun-java6-bin [09:38] insertable: sounds most likely.. I know for sure the kernel fix went in at around 2.6.11 or .12 [09:38] kahrytan: I understand the issue [09:38] but i need jdk then [09:39] darrend: i'm using ubuntu server, instead of the desktop version. maybe there is something missing? [09:40] ikonia, and im not the only one. (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725217). last post [09:40] ikonia: same problem with the file share [09:40] can i resize a partition i am using with gparted or something of the sort? it cant read ntfs so it wont let me unmount it or resize [09:40] darrend: i don't think it ever happened with the desktop version [09:40] Bllz: what is the file system permissions ? [09:40] kahrytan: I don't doubt you are the only one [09:40] chunchun: here's the supported cards for the latest nvidia driver... http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.05/README/appendix-a.html .. I don't see the 9300 Go anywhere on that list so I don't think it matter how many times you reinstall [09:40] thegeek: hi again. I'd guess that you could disable then re-enable your video drivers to get them back, but I can't say I know why they got lost. Not sure about the audio drivers, but I'd again guess that the same uninstall/reinstall might fix it. [09:40] insertable: doubt it - the mouse handling is part of the kernel's core i/o drivers I think. But then I don't use X on my servers [09:40] ikonia: "the network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and passsword. to connect using a different user name and passworkd, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share" [09:41] Bllz: and thats from a windows machine ? [09:41] lmao [09:41] yes [09:41] that means [09:41] my graphic card will never work on ubuntu [09:41] darrend: well me either. we use ubuntu server at work.. just wanted to mess around with it at home [09:41] renegade444: I looked in the "Restricted Drivers Manager" and the NVidia driver isn't even listed anymore! Even though nvidia-glx-new is installed....o_O [09:41] Bllz: that means the drive is already mapped on your windows machine, unmap it first [09:41] ikonia: i'm sorry... i don't understand [09:42] chunchun, untill nvidia updates their drivers. perhaps. [09:42] Bllz: it's saying the drive is already mapped as another user, if you want to change anything remove the current map first [09:42] it's not mapped... afaik [09:42] the latest GO driver is 7900 [09:42] mine is 9300 [09:42] mapped in windows? [09:42] Bllz: where are you getting that error message ? [09:42] darrend: just a pain as i am on call tonight. trying to help a customer out over the phone and my fluxbox changes desktops every millisecond for 10 minutes [09:43] chunchun, now ya know why Linux users are big on nvidia and ati opening their drivers.. so we wouldent have to wait on nvidia to release updates. [09:43] when i try to map the drive and it prompts me for my passphrase, ikonia [09:43] yo [09:43] Bllz: where are you getting that error [09:43] on vista [09:43] I'm having trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop. The system hangs on step 1. Someone suggested it could be a device driver not responding causing the computer to hang. How could i rectify this? [09:43] Bllz: ok, so that error is saying the drive is already mappyed [09:44] mapped [09:44] Rishie: have you tried the alternate install ? [09:44] ikonia. how come I don't see it in My Computer, then? [09:44] !alternate | Rishie [09:44] Rishie: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal - Torrent at http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent [09:44] Bllz: that part I don't know === DeizJr is now known as DeizJr_ [09:44] Bllz: it's possible you have it open in a browser of some sort [09:44] ikonia... i had to map the other ones manually [09:44] i guess i could make it readable to all [09:44] ikonia, I will probably never find the cause ofthe problem [09:44] it's only hosting network backups [09:44] Bllz: what user are you trying to connect as ? [09:45] ikonia:i have to make data disc that will contain a single disc image file or a disc that contain contents of the image file??? [09:45] kahrytan: thats your opinon [09:45] my default linux user: louist [09:45] Bllz: does that user louist have read access to the disk ? [09:45] insertable: you're working from home and they expect you to buy your own equipment to do it on?? I'd look for another employer :) [09:45] yes [09:45] he owns it [09:45] Thanks guys. I'll check that option out. [09:45] insertable: may be easiest to leave the mouse disconnected until you can get a different one to try [09:45] ikonia, im no good at bug hunting [09:45] Bllz: ok, and is there a samba user created that maps to your linux uer and does the password match ? [09:45] kahrytan: ok [09:46] no. the windows logon is different [09:46] insertable: operate fluxbox with key bindings [09:46] is that the problem? [09:46] help!!for live cd i have to make data disc that will contain a single disc image file or a disc that contain contents of the image file??? [09:46] Bllz: ok - so you have to map the drive using the linux users name [09:46] Bllz: I think there is an option in windows that says "connect as a different user" [09:46] Bllz: that is your problem [09:46] gaurav_: a disc that contains the contents of the image file [09:46] ikonia: wait... when it promted me for a username/pass, I gave it the linux one [09:46] darrend: heh yeah. my second straight week too. they said "some weekend work", they should of said "most". yah, i might have to just leave firefox open and unplug mouse for now. cheers :> [09:47] Bllz: that doesn't always work, you may have to use the "connect as a different user" option [09:47] gaurav_, if its a single .iso on the disk - you burnt it wrong. Use a tool like 'burn at once' for windows that burns the IMAGE to the disk. You do not 'open' the iso and copy the files.. you 'burn the image' to the cd. [09:47] gaurav_: you'll have to burn the image to a cd.. not as a big file but burn the contents of the image to the cd [09:47] starnestommy:sure? [09:47] ooooooooh! okay! [09:47] do you happen to know how i can access that in vista?

[09:47] Bllz: if your logged in as "bob" on the windows machine then it will try to connect to the samba share as "bob" - but bob doesn't exist, so on the windows machine you need to say, I'm bob, but please connect to the samba share as "steve" [09:48] Negromancer: don't see why not [09:48] Negromancer: yes but why would you? [09:48] all u have say different !!confused [09:48] ikonia: connect using a different name? [09:48] To get 7.10 so I can upgrade THAT to 8.04? [09:48] Bllz: different username [09:48] Using encrypted partitions seems to use a lot of cpu power. Is there any way to optimize it? [09:48] i need help! [09:48] johey: nope [09:48] !night [09:48] It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. [09:48] gaurav_, we are all saying the same thing. You Must burn the .iso file properly - whenyou do you will see lots of files on the cd. and it will be bootable. [09:48] johey: encyption has an overhead [09:48] Negromancer: why not skip gutsy and go straight to hardy? [09:48] ikonia: okay. right. thanks so much! [09:49] Bllz: no problem === DeizJr_ is now known as DeizJr [09:49] powertoo108: how do I do that? update-manager just shows me 7.10 [09:49] dr_willis:okiz [09:49] ikonia: uh oh... same problem [09:49] Negromancer: Yes, 7.10 is available, and yes, through update manager will work fine. [09:49] dr_willis:let me tru now thnx [09:49] powertoo108: You can't go straight from 7.04 to 8.04 [09:49] Bllz: try mounting it as a samba share on the linux box, you'll get better error output [09:49] gaurav_, if using windows try the program 'burn at once' or any of a dozen 'iso image burning tools' that exist for windows [09:50] Negromancer: oh, ya i guess you have to get gutsy if you go through the update managers [09:50] ikonia: what's the command? [09:50] dr_willis:no iam using ubuntu [09:50] crap. [09:50] Bllz: mount -t smbfs -o username=steve //server/share /mnt/point [09:50] gaurav_, then you should be able to just double click on the .iso under gnome I belive. and it will ask to burn it properly [09:50] ikonia: i see that share under smb://home-server alreay [09:50] *already [09:50] Negromancer: i assumed you had /home on its own partition and was thinking just do a clean install [09:50] Bllz: thats not mounted, thats browsing it [09:50] gaurav_, or Right click on the ISO image file and choose Write to Disc. [09:51] ikonia: I see. However, I have a single core 2.2 GHz AMD 64bit cpu. When I copy a big file to an encrypted partition, the machine is quite unusable for other tasks at the same time. Though, according to top, only about 20-60% of the cpu is used. Can't it use the full power, or why is this? [09:51] dr_willis:it asks me whether to "create from image" or "create with fike" [09:51] file* [09:51] johey: hows your ram looking ? [09:51] powertoo108: when I installed this I was 100% linux-noob, didn't know to do that [09:51] ikonia: 2 GB, no swap. [09:51] johey: the over head is the conversation, you may not need cpu - you could also be waiting on disk io while the encyption "buffers" [09:51] Negromancer: understood, i did that also the first time [09:52] johey: conversion that should read [09:52] Anyway, I just wondered if the 7.04-7.10 upgrade system is dead, because it just quits in the middle on me with no network activity [09:52] ikonia: can you check my syntax? sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=louist //Home-Server/Network Backups /media [09:53] hello, i'm trying to install 8.04 on an Intel Mac Mini, it installs fine, but it won't boot after the install, just keep in mind, that i don't have mac os x on that machine. any help please? [09:53] Bllz, spaces in share names - are a BAD idea. [09:53] Bllz: ahhh spaces, you'll need to escape char them [09:53] ubuntu classifies my hard disks as removable storage... is there any way to tell ubuntu that they are not? [09:53] ikonia: what's the escape char? [09:54] Hi room [09:54] hey [09:54] Dr_willis: how bad? [09:54] BAH :( [09:54] STUPID NVIDIA! [09:54] Bllz, they just made you hit a brick wall dident they. :) I would rename the share and put a _ in its name [09:54] ikonia, Would logs sure who accessed it? [09:54] okay [09:55] Bllz, spacs, quotes, and other fancy chars = bad habbit. :) [09:55] ikonia: Ok. I'm running Ubuntu Server on this new machine. 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 3x1TB SATA2 disks in a RAID5 array, system on a USB stick. It will be used only as a file server. Is encryption of the ~1.8TB RAID partition a too naive idea you think? [09:55] i need help! [09:55] Dr_willis: duely noted. I'm still n00bing hard... lol [09:55] in what file is my session resolution(!) [09:55] yeah i could use some help myself [09:55] Bllz, dont forget that CaSe SenSitiVity and Samba/shares Case INseneSitiviTy can cause issues also. :) [09:55] I am having problem with HDA NVidia sound card 6 channels are not working [09:56] ikonia, im trying all kinda of apps to find the source [09:56] in what file is my session resolution (the_symbol_of_asks) [09:56] Is there anyway to repeat the process of autoconfiguring GRUB like the install process does? [09:57] thegeek: super grub disk [09:57] okay it's 5 am... i'm going to bed and tackling this tomorrow [09:57] Negromancer: What? [09:57] thanks everyone! [09:57] thegeek, if there is - ive never found it.. you basicially want the system to scan the whole machine and install all the proper entries for every os it finds right? [09:57] thegeek: I was just trying to find a page on how to do that for you, lol, but I have so far failed [09:57] kahrytan: why are you telling me this ? [09:57] thegeek: super grub disk is a disk you can use to do that, google for it [09:58] I keep it on a floppy just in case [09:58] thegeek, theres varioys ways to reconfigure grub..but ive not seen one that scans the whole machine and adds a proper entry for every os. (yet) [09:58] in what file is my gnome session resolution (the_symbol_of_asks) i got a trouble with that and cant start gnome2 again! [09:58] Dr_willis: I just told him a way :p [09:58] Dr_willis, renegade444, and Negromancer: Actually, my ultimate goal here is to figure out why the devil installing Windows on an entirely separate partition made my Ubuntu act screwy by disabling drivers and stuff....someone in #linux suggested maybe my old GRUB installation had some options that I'm missing now :P [09:59] Negromancer, so you are saying that disk will generate a proper menu.lst just like the ubuntu installer does? [09:59] that is exactly what I am saying [09:59] Negromancer, adding an entry automatically for windows, and every linux install. [09:59] I think it can do that, yes [09:59] Thats a neat trick. :) wonder what app it uses.. and why theres not one in ubuntu by default for it, [10:00] its basic use is for pooched MBRs of that kind [10:00] The ubuntu menu.lst has a lot more info then a normal grub menu.lst has also. I might add... :) [10:00] it can also restore the windows bootloader [10:00] ikonia, EUREKA! found it [10:00] in what file is my gnome session resolution (the_symbol_of_asks) i got a trouble (changed rotation, then x crashed...) with that and cant start gnome2 again!

Thanks for the tip, even if it wasn't intended for me ;) [10:01] anyone gotthat list of supported linux nvidia drivers again? [10:01] anyone gotthat list of supported linux nvidia drivers again? [10:01] eh [10:01] :] [10:01] i cant select wallpapers via the gnome-appearance-properties dealio [10:01] thegeek, i dotn see how grub could be affecting it at all.. I have had some weird hardware that if i booted to Windows from a powered down state.. then rebooted to linux. the Devices wouldent get configured right. But if i powered DOWN and went to linux first.. they would get configured right. [10:01] anyone else running into this? [10:02] Dr_willis: Huh. And this happened even with a working installation with the hardware configured and having been used for a while and everything? [10:02] thegeek, that sounds even weirder.... [10:02] chunchun, Supported by whom [10:03] Dr_willis: I know! It's really strange. [10:03] Everything was working fine. [10:03] I've been using it for months. [10:03] thegeek, all grub does is hand the system over the kernel.. once the kernel takes over.. grub is done. [10:03] nvm [10:03] stupid 9300 nvidia [10:03] All I did was re-install Windows on a different partition, and then recover GRUB. Then Ubuntu is all whacked out! [10:03] Hi guys. can anyone advise me what to use to download some youtube clips? [10:03] thegeek, ive done that dozens of times also. and never had an issue. [10:04] Dr_willis: ^ And yeah, I know what it does. But this problem is so weird that I'm ready to accept just about any explanation.

[11:46] hi guyz,i really need your help...i moved (fstab edit)home folder to another drive and my banto keeps whining about missing .dmrc file treating me "i need .dmrc or i wont save your changes'.gentlemen what do i do now? [11:46] !clone | exot [11:46] exot: 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 [11:46] !nvidia [11:46] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:46] der i noticed the only way in 8.04 to get restriced to DL in gui mode without synaptic was to use the apperence visual set it to higher then it would grab it [11:47] just clicking enable in hardware thing didn't work [11:47] prince_jammys, yeah ..

[12:31] BeBoBli: you could shrink, create a new part, move stuff over and repeatedly grow/shrink [12:31] can you tell me how to set up my nvidia drivers [12:31] i can't find the restricted drivers menu [12:31] popey oh it's big enough to do that all at once. What program do you reccomend I do this process with? [12:32] hristoVladev:get envy apt-get install envy [12:32] HristoVladev: Depends on which nvidia card you've got [12:32] BeBoBli: gparted [12:32] MX 440 [12:32] geforce [12:32] popey: note I am in windows right now... is that available for it? [12:32] BeBoBli: no [12:32] BeBoBli: there is a live CD [12:32] I am using Hardy Heron. The apache web server is not working... I tried reinstali [12:32] Then how would I be able to even move the files over anyways?\ [12:32] BeBoBli: you could boot off a gparted live cd [12:32] I restarting it [12:32] gparted | BeBoBli [12:32] HristoVladev: If I'm correct that can be installed by nvidia-glx package [12:32] !gparted | BeBoBli [12:32] BeBoBli: 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/ [12:33] also, I reinstalled it. Still, it is not working. [12:33] what should I do? [12:33] BeBoBli: just download that and boot off it [12:33] lightcone:/etc/init.d/apache2 start wat output?? [12:33] bebobli: you should be able to read the ntfs from linux and do the copying with linux after following their gparted instructions [12:33] Thanks. This will do perhaps... is it in a GUI or will I be digging around a terminal [12:33] BeBoBli: gui [12:34] renegade444, Oh really... pretty interesting. [12:34] Last I heard linux couldn't even read off of NTFS [12:34] !paste [12:34] 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) [12:34] soulhacker: Starting web server apache2 httpd (pid 5860) already running [12:34] [ OK ] [12:34] Myrtti: thee? [12:34] there* [12:34] BeBoBli: it's not too difficult to use. the gui is good [12:34] bebobli: the ntfs support is pretty matutre now [12:34] actualy we write to it well now muhhaa [12:34] Really?! Awesome. [12:35] lightcone:cool do nmap localhost paste its output in ubuntu pastebin and give me link [12:35] Definitely giving Ubuntu another shot if this is all true. [12:35] The external drive is unreadable on another ubuntu machine so that's why I'm converting it [12:35] But if you say that it can be read somehow I'll just format now. [12:36] I mean format this laptop to use Ubuntu again. [12:36] anyone know a good fileshareing program? [12:36] it's not gonna boot on NTFS thats for sure [12:37] deluge [12:37] /msg nickserv set hidemail on [12:37] niner64, Yeah, but it's an external. It's just where I am throwing all my extra files on. [12:37] transmission (in ubuntu) azeruas [12:38] bebobli: if you were willing to do significant command-line on the older ubuntu install, you could probably make ntfs-3g work on it and read/write the drive without any formatting or re-installing. [12:38] BeBoBLI: then you should be fine with the fuse driver [12:38] ???? [12:39] ya 3g thats the one that writes well [12:39] bebobli: but a fress hardy heron (8.04) install should read it be default [12:39] unless it's vista [12:40] or don't detect his drive but probably will [12:40] hello [12:40] niner64: unfortunately, there's always SOME snag ;) [12:40] or you use your second HD for linux and first for doze. ya [12:41] does ubuntu 8.04 have restricted drivers manager ? [12:41] i remember when buntio wouldn't even boot on both my machines and now it's kinda nice [12:42] ForsakenSoul:yes [12:42] so im happier then i was previously [12:42] forsakensoul: yes [12:42] i'd like to boot freebsd w/ the grub that came with ubuntu. freebsd is installed on the 4th primary partition so i used hd(0,3) as root but it always tells me "error 17, cannot mount selected partition" any hints? [12:42] where is it ? [12:42] my gdm just restarted itself for no reason , thinking harder about changing kernel [12:42] ForsakenSoul:system>admininstration>hardware drivers [12:42] ok 10x [12:42] hi, can you suggest me a solution for free online file storage?i would like something that can be managed outside a beowser [12:43] sini:you are off-topic but have u ever heard of rapidshare [12:43] wouldn't we all like that maybe a GMAIL account has some storage options [12:43] simi:you are off-topic but have u ever heard of rapidshare [12:44] === Yahuda___ is now known as Yahuda [12:44] I have firefox 3 rc1 with 8.10 and ever since I upgraded to hardy whenever I play flash video in firefox consecutively (about three times) firefox crashes.

[12:48] gnomefreak: when i use archive manager it just says adding files to archive and doesn't do anything [12:48] AcornAcorn: right click it and you should get a dialog asking about what type or compression [12:48] gnomefreak, 32 [12:48] ubuntu freezes at startup after improper shutdown, I tried fsck it didn't work, does anyone have any other ideas?? [12:48] new2linux: would suggest you set one card up at a time. also you should work out what your doing exactly , like what are the names of your two cards ect.

[13:34] hi all [13:34] prince_jammys i think has to be with maybe chess game? package glchess [13:34] dimas869: that package has also caused me problems :) [13:34] I install Kino and it is not detecting the camcorder and I have it connected to firewire [13:34] dimas869: i think i ended up just removing it [13:34] how do i change the way time is displayed on ubuntu hardy? [13:34] are there anyway to store the updates of hardy ubuntu locally? so, i don't have to download the updates if i reinstall the os [13:34] the chess game? [13:34] like microsoft wus server [13:35] how do i disable the visualization on totem? im playing an mp3 file and its annoying [13:35] dimas869: yes. i don't remember what the problem was, but i ended up removing it [13:35] that able us to download and keep them locally [13:35] prince_jammys so should i just delete it from add remove programs?

[13:37] nantax: yes, restart totem [13:37] jrib: okay solved.. tnx [13:37] or is there a location settings type thing somewhere?

[14:19] erUSUL, i've just installed java on my 64bit desktop so I will give it a run now and see if it works [14:19] so, i save the old one as Xorg.conf.old? [14:19] Agion... do you know how to use"nan" terminal tex editor? [14:19] welkin: you might need to rewrite that file.

I'll install that shortly as no doubt i'll need it later [14:20] or anything so you can use it as a back up file.

[14:25] What is a command to ping my subnet please? I want to discover the IP of my network printer. [14:25] Okay. I have a question about my bootloader. I Installed Ubuntu on a portable USB disk, wanting to be able to take my installation with me on the go, but unfortunately the bootloader was installed on my computers main drive.

[14:26] clarezoe: sttings are normal on receiving on sending smp i have SMP AUTH and i have ssl enabled on both [14:26] Infecto: yeah sorry, confused you with welkin [14:26] welkin: Perhaps rewrite to not use dos-specific stuff? conio.h is neither aprt of the standard c runtime nor required by posix. [14:26] welkin: it cant work on windows either.

I would have to check what syntax you need, but it will ping a whole subnet and find alive hosts. [14:29] Wilde_Sehnsucht: So you want to rate-limit uplink but not rate-limit downlink? Sure, that's possible. [14:29] STSX: I can learn, thanks :) [14:30] Lynet, No. I want to rate-limit downlink (traffic that goes FROM the world TO computer).

[15:06] sofiankrt: Okay, but still. Google firestarter and iptables. [15:06] remu: Are you registered?

[15:14] sofiankrt, this happens with any ftp ip? [15:14] hey, you know how kubuntu has the app in admin to set what drives to auto-mount on startup, and what permitions to give the drive for user access?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [15:21] Varanger, ah, well as etronik mentioned, Audacity is great for that [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: not 20, 21 [15:22] Slart: i did ask a question... then was just told "go find out somewhere else" [15:22] i'm the v4l radio tuner guy [15:22] ;) [15:22] etronik: Thanks! [15:22] Sir_Fawnpug: Thanks! [15:22] wow.... ubot3` is slacking :D [15:22] Chad2408m, what kind of problems? [15:22] Jack_Sparrow: thanks! Good luck fighting all the pirates in the carribean, bye! [15:22] we're all ears over here [15:22] * Varanger says lol [15:22] actually, those are nice themes, i'll check them out. :) [15:22] Bizzeh: nope.. you were told how to edit your fstab from what I can see in the logs [15:22] How do I create an initrd image while booted from a rescue disk ? still trying to recover from failed upgrade - TIA [15:23] Varanger: Audacity isn't automatic but it's the best thing that I've seen for ubuntu. [15:23] !attitude | Bizzeh [15:23] Bizzeh: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [15:23] Mariux, nonw46: I forgot I didn't have buil-essentiall installed, lol, thanks guys [15:23] Bizzeh: but to answer your original question.. nope, I don't think there's an app for setting up drives to automount.. but editing the fstab isn't that hard, you just have to be careful [15:23] what is the default version of Netbeans on Hardy? [15:23] Slart: no, i wasnt told HOW, i was told "edit in a text editor" i didnt actualy get an answer to my question [15:23] Bizzeh: Welcome to the Ubuntu Community. Your attitude of expecting anyone to be helpful instead of just chiding you is not appriciated. [15:24] !!! my panel just froze [15:24] nonw46: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [15:24] how can i restart it? [15:24] this has happened before [15:24] Bizzeh Did you ask a follow up question before you called us communists [15:24] Bizzeh: There are several apps to set drives to automount. /etc/fstab is still much, much faster. [15:24] Bizzeh: Plus, OSS is more like ultracapitalism [15:24] are the rumors true about hardy amd64 being able to install flash out of the box? no more manual hacks? [15:25] Bizzeh: try running "man fstab" from a terminal [15:25] !flash64 [15:25] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [15:25] Bizzeh, it's actually really easy once you get the hang of it.... but i personally think you can use an app, it's easier [15:25] /etc/fstab is faster, when you know what your doing, and you KNOW fstab.. when you dont, you have to go through the trouble of breaking it and doing it wrong and the unabiltiy to boot your pc several times [15:25] exactly [15:25] Bizzeh: /etc/fstab is both faster and easier for automount instead of mount on click. [15:25] Bizzeh: you'd better check your logs.. you asked if there was an app, someone suggested you edit fstab using a text editor.. then you told us that last time you did that it hosed your system.. that's not a question.. if you have any questions about editing the fstab you can ask those and we will do our best to help you [15:25] if my panel, "ubuntu menu", and everythign else other than xchat weren't frozen i'd look it up for ya [15:25] c_sokun, I'm not sure, but I'd say 6.0 [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: is there any thing left that would be annoying on 64bits? how about skype? [15:26] Bizzeh: make a backup of it - cp /etc/fstab /etc fstab.bck [15:26] Bizzeh You are told it took just a minute to restore your old fstab.. Did you bother to ask any questions about that [15:26] Bizzeh: then if you break it, you can just restore the backup [15:26] can you all please stop fighting for a minute and give me a hand maybe? [15:26] when you have a broken fstab.. and cannot boot into text... then having a backup is useless [15:26] mDemocritus: Both incomplete and not necessarily the best idea. [15:26] c_sokun, yup it's 6.0 [15:26] what's ubuntu's equivalent of "restarting explorer.exe"? [15:26] mynyml I still use 32 so Im not the best source for answers on that [15:26] Taza: why is that? [15:26] Jack_Sparrow: thanks [15:26] nonw46: pkill nautilus [15:26] nonw46: startx [15:27] how can I check version of the package on the repository? I don't want to apt-get install if it not the version I want. [15:27] nonw46, killall gnome-panel [15:27] haha its not startx [15:27] nonw46, log out an back in mi [15:27] Bizzeh Please ask your support related questions and avoid this discussion [15:27] Bizzeh-> have you have your coffee yet? drink a cup of joe, your nerves will chill a bit :P [15:27] thanks all but i can't get a command prompt [15:27] Stroganoff: It most decidedly is. [15:27] nonw46: I think it restarts by itself... you can just kill X too if you want that (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) [15:27] The resolution of Ubuntu is horrible at 640x480. I cant hardely see anything. I tried to follow all these tutorials about xorg.config and such but got nowhere. Ubuntu has nothing written for 'Monitor' or 'Display' in the file. I know all the things you need to configure a monitor (eg vertsync, and size) but I dont know what to do. Whenever I try to do something I can never hit apply or ok wither because the resolution is [15:27] too low. Please help me I posted a problem at the ubuntu forums but got no help. My driver should either be: Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller or i810. Can anyone tell me how to either manually configure a driver/monitor, or tell me how/where to download drivers for these cards. any help is very appreciated. Thanks! [15:27] BRB [15:27] Taza most people use a login manager.. [15:27] Stroganoff: So? [15:27] wait, isn't ctrl+alt+backspace "reset to defaults"? [15:27] Stroganoff: That's the closest equilevant of restarting explorer.exe if you ever need to start it. [15:28] nonw46: no, that's "restart X" [15:28] Taza: i get that it's incomplete, but why is making a backup of fstab not a good idea? [15:28] ah [15:28] nonw46, that will restart xserver [15:28] nonw46, ctrl-alt-bksp usually kills X [15:28] Taza i think you overrate explorer.exe :p [15:28] kane77: thanks [15:28] Does anyone know if there's still stuff that doesn't work as simply on hardy 64bits as it does on 32bits? [15:28] like skype? [15:28] mDemocritus: Making a backup of fstab is a good idea. Making one in /etc/ is not. And you need Knoppix to restore it. [15:28] flash? [15:28] anyone know how to use a phone as a modem via bluetooth? [15:28] Taza: ah good call [15:29] nonix4: it's a violent way of killing X.. only use if if you have to [15:29] mynyml, flash and skype work without any problems [15:29] bazhang: according to the rumors, flash just works out of the box.. [15:29] mDemocritus: Or the Ubuntu LiveCD but that's, uh, just awful. [15:29] ConstyXIV: I've done it using my laptop and mobile.. it's a bit weird but it works [15:29] Hello! Is Firefox 3.0RC packaged on Ubuntu? If so, How to install it? I have no updates for firefox since version beta 5.. [15:29] kane77: thank you! anything else i should be careful about? [15:29] Bizzeh: so to amend my advice, cp /etc/fstab ~/fstab.bck [15:29] hello, how can I review all the active connections on my pc and which program controls them? [15:29] Bizzeh: to make the backup [15:29] mDemocritus: cp /etc/fstab ~/.fstab [15:29] :P [15:29] mynyml, thus the question mark :) [15:29] ratpoison: try sudo netstat -ap -A tcp [15:29] ratpoison: sudo netstat -panlt [15:29] ratpoison, have you heard of a program called Ethereal? It's pretty useful when it comes to auditing connections [15:30] ratpoison: netstat can give you some information.. usually to much information... but it's a start [15:30] Slart: so ctrl+alt+backspace is not the same thing as log out? [15:30] i changed my mind. this place is the worst help community i have ever been to [15:30] mDemocritus check this cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/fstab.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [15:30] Hello, can someone please help me?!? [15:30] Hey, where can I find the hardy heron dsektop background for download? [15:30] ratpoison: but with "inet" not "tcp" [15:30] im switching back to gentoo [15:30] bye [15:30] selocol: nope.. it's more of a "yank the cord out of the wall"-way of logging out [15:30] thnx guys for the wealth of info, I'll man netstat for more details [15:30] He's switching back to Gentoo because Ubuntu is too difficult? :P [15:30] Switching to gentoo.. that will work [15:30] mynyml, hmm.. I can't think of anything right now.. the situation got better (I've been running 64-bit ubuntu for 3 years now) [15:30] that's hilarious [15:30] anybody help me create an initrd image ?? without it I have a dead system [15:30] Slart: oh my.. thanks, that's very helpful. i've been using it all the time as if it were logging out [15:30] hello? [15:31] Taza, I'm a bit curious as to why his fstab would be so complex that he couldn't regenerate it by hand [15:31] kane77: i guess its time i give it a try then. thanks [15:31] Sir_Fawnpug: You, frankly, shouldn't be here. [15:31] gentoo has its place... it taught me so much about linux during the THREE WEEKS it took me to get X running :D [15:31] Sir_Fawnpug: Your skill level is WAY too high for users like that. [15:31] bazhang: got ya =) yeah i guess i'll believe it when i see it for myself =) [15:31] !test [15:31] Failed! [15:31] Chad2408m: patience is a virtue... what was your question again [15:31] Sir_Fawnpug It inst diffiecult.. [15:31] Taza, probably not, but if he's going to throw salt in the wound and whine about volunteers helping him [15:32] Sir_Fawnpug: Me and you could easily regenerate a fstab by hand but if he managed to break his system editing fstab he ain't got the skill [15:32] !fixres | Chad2408m (try this) [15:32] Chad2408m (try this): The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

MY UBUNTU IS BROKEN!!!!!!!! [15:32] W: GPG error: http://se.archive.ubuntu.com hardy-proposed Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key [15:32] gaof you there? we can try some things [15:32] smallfoot-: stop that.. [15:32] smallfoot-, lose the caps [15:32] if i ctrl+alt+backspace and i get a black/blank screen with no login window and ctrl+alt+f4 or f7 both don't work, what key combination should i try? thanks [15:32] ????++++ [15:32] Taza, well it's not something that I generally recommend to ubuntu users [15:32] can I use apt-get to just read the package description? [15:33] How can I change the "sans-serif" alias? [15:33] smallfoot-: ubuntu isn't broken, but that GPG key is. Try disabling the hardy-proposed repository [15:33] smallfoot-, there is no reason for SHOUTING [15:33] Anyway, I'm out. I have a lot of reading to do [15:33] smallfoot- Running proposed ... in your sources for a particular reason ? [15:33] ratpoison: try aptitude show [15:33] ratpoison, "dpkg -l "compiz"" maybe [15:33] Jack_Sparrow, yes i want new cool stuff on my computers [15:33] ratpoison, aptitude show packagename [15:34] smallfoot- Asking for trouble... [15:34] mmm my help request ain't getting thru.. I wonder if I shout ;-) [15:34] smallfoot-: new stuff isn't always cool [15:34] Jack_Sparrow, but ubnutu is boring, i want cool stuff, like new compiz plugins [15:34] My questions is basicly: I need help with the Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller or i810 driver. Can anyone tell me how to either manually configure a driver/monitor, or tell me how/where to download drivers for these cards. any help is very appreciated. My resolution is too low to do anything (640x480) [15:34] smallfoot-: new stuff breaks faster [15:34] selocol: try ctrl-alt-backspace, then hit f2 when the screen goes black [15:34] smallfoot- I can give you a page of them if that is what you want.. [15:34] selocol: it might get you to a login [15:34] Jack_Sparrow, oh ok [15:34] smallfoot-: then you'll have to learn how to handle stuff like this.. [15:35] Chad2408m, try to install "915resolution" [15:35] mDemocritus: thanks [15:35] smallfoot-: without running around shouting like the world is going to end for every error message [15:35] selocol: did it work? [15:35] oh. Basically from what I understand, aptitude and apt-get are similar tools, but apt-get has super COW powers and aptitude doesn't. Other than that, are the interchangeable? which one should I prefer when I could use both? [15:35] calculator dont have color on buttons, webcam dont work, it dont have wallpaper changer like macosx [15:35] smallfoot- http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 fish inside your cube floating windows etc [15:35] mDemocritus: i'll have to wait until it happens again.. ;P [15:35] mDemocritus: ive been pulling the power cord previously :/ [15:35] ratpoison: aptitude has a nice interface when run with no parameters [15:35] smallfoot-, we talked about this before; have you forgotten? [15:36] selocol: ah... what was the original reason for it? [15:36] ratpoison: they are interchangable.. [15:36] ratpoison: some people say aptitude handles dependencies better... but that was a couple of years ago.. [15:36] mDemocritus: i just did ctrl+alt+backspace and the login window never appeared [15:36] Hello, is there some way to get restore the last directory you have deleted? [15:36] bazhang, maybe [15:36] umyi: trash bin? [15:36] Slart: Yes [15:36] umyi: if you used nautilus [15:36] Slart Ubuntu implimented tohse features in our verrsion of apt-get [15:36] bazhang, oh wait, yes you was the guy who banned me [15:36] selocol: right... but i'm asking... why did you need to do that? [15:37] bazhang, yes, but this time i didnt say any bad words [15:37] Can I install step from the repositories? Its in kde-edu. [15:37] other than having freedom of choice, what is the reason for two tools for basically the same thing? [15:37] Hey, where can I find the hardy heron desktop background for download? [15:37] smallfoot- and you are well on your way again [15:37] hey i know that automatix is done making programs for ubuntu atfer 7.4 but are their any other programs that do the same thing??? [15:37] Slart: I might have, dont remember exactly how I did it [15:37] smallfoot-, please read this: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [15:37] Jack_Sparrow: yes.. it was fixed in.. dapper? feisty? [15:37] mDemocritus: i didn't know what else to do [15:37] slart it was few hours ago though [15:37] ratpoison, it pretty much boils down to choice [15:37] Slart I have slept since then so I dont remember [15:37] ratpoison: aptitude has some extra features, handles conflicts better, and has a more advanced interface [15:37] umyi: do you see the trash bin on your desktop? [15:37] ratpoison: welcome to the FLOSS comunity... there's normally at least a couple ways to do the same thing [15:38] Slart: No, I used live cd to install [15:38] jhasse, thanks for the information, but when I installed it through synaptic it said this: 915resolution - What should I do know? [15:38] selocol: you still misunderstand me... why did you need to do that? did the system lock up, or what? [15:38] mDemocritus, I realise that... it's just that I find the "me too" project philosophy a bit redundant [15:39] Chad2408m, you could try "sudo apt-get install 915resolution" [15:39] anyone experiences ubuntu server and gallery2 ? [15:39] umyi: hmm.. ok.. let's back up a bit.. you had a working ubuntu system.. and using that system you deleted some files/folders.. and you're still running that same system, right? [15:39] mDemocritus: yes, without the login screen, i couldn't do anything. system did not respond to any of the key combinations i tried. so it locked up, perhaps [15:39] ratpoison: of course it is... but there's scenarios that make it worthwile [15:39] ratpoison, the redundancy, imho, is actually a good thing [15:39] jhasse, sorry about that. It said that It couldnt find something and that it wasnt automaticly configured and that I should do it manually, what do I do now? [15:39] I was told how to fix the wireless but it requires a restart of init.d/networking and then using iwconfig for the connection with dhclient wlan0. Is there a way to automate such a task, not as a script, but to just have the system do this instead of us for wireless upon loading the destop? [15:39] selocol: ok so when you boot, you don't get the login screen? [15:39] Slart: Yes [15:39] well! time to blow my system out the water and try to restore data from tape later on... my best guess right now is upgrade to Hardy Heron completely F###d my system ! [15:40] whatever [15:40] is there kde-edu 'beta1' in the repos? [15:40] umyi: you installed the regular ubuntu? === RuyalarPrensi___ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [15:40] etronik Please dont swear even if you try to discuize it [15:40] mDemocritus: i was in fluxbox. i wanted to switch to gnome, so i hit ctrl+alt+backspace. instead of the login screen showing, i got a blank/black screen, which did not respond to any key combinations. i tried ctrl+alt+f7 and ctrl+alt+f4 and ctrl+alt+backspace. [15:40] Sir_Fawnpug, well redundancy is the last measure you can take for system reliability, but it increases system complexity. I guess this is an engineering question of how to compromise between the two [15:40] Chad2408m-> can you do this gksu displayconfig-gtk and configure your video card from there? [15:41] Slart: Yes, from the live CD, I had still the files when it was installed [15:41] i changed my home folder , now when i try to login i get the error This process is currently running setuid or setgid [15:41] This is not a supported use of GTK+ [15:41] umyi: if you open the file explorer (it's really called nautilus).. ie double click on a drive or something [15:41] what to do [15:41] I think it's much better this way.. if you don't like the way some tool is developed you can step in and develop another one to please yourself and maybe other discontent linux users, ratpoison. [15:41] Jack_Sparrow: sure. soryr [15:41] Slart: ok [15:41] selocol: try not to use ctrl-alt-backspace unless you really need to... it's not a very nice way to restart X [15:41] selocol: from what i understand that is [15:41] Jack_Sparrow: sure. sorry! [15:41] umyi: do you see a panel on the left side with your drives? [15:41] etronik I understand your frustration... [15:41] Slart: yes [15:42] mDemocritus: yeah, i didn't know that until just now.. thanks [15:42] how do you add a startup item when it's a program that has to be run from the command line with a specific $PWD [15:42] I think it's cool to consider aspects other than technical when building a system, but I speak only for myself here :) [15:42] umyi: at the bottom of that panel there should be something called "Trash".. click it [15:42] etronik Do you keep a sep /home partition? [15:42] hi, could someone help me install my router and tell me what I need to do to do "port forwarding"? [15:42] selocol, what's your question? [15:42] selocol: np... if you log out of fluxbox, do you get back to the login prompt? [15:42] amendado, thank you very much. I was able to change the resolution, now I just have to kog on/off for changes to be made. Ill tell you if it works. [15:43] mDemocritus: yes [15:43] please anyone, ubuntu (latest) server and gallery2, installed it, installed imagemagick, jhead and all the 'have to' stuff on a ubuntu web/php/mysql server, no directory with gallery, what am i doing wrong [15:43] durka: Just include the full path when you specify the program in the "command" area. [15:43] selocol: ok cool.... don't use ctrl-alt-backspace then :D [15:43] how do i install a linksys router in ubuntu? [15:43] i changed my home folder , now when i try to login i get the error This process is currently running setuid or setgid This is not a supported use of GTK+ what to do [15:43] Slart: There is no Trash, Its the 7.04 version [15:43] ratpoison, I guess the best answer for that is that UNIX is inherently modular, so the redundancy lets more advanced users set up their environment to their liking [15:43] mDemocritus: ok, got it :P [15:43] morning all, security-wise am I ok to change the permissions of /var/www/ so I can put files in there? [15:43] umyi: ohh.. my bad.. thought you were using hardy.. hmm ok.. hang on [15:44] hello helpline? [15:44] brando: the linksys router installs itself [15:44] brando1 for port forwarding.. See your router setup.. not a hard thing to do [15:44] hey, where does the stuff go I choose "only for download" in synaptic? [15:44] brando1: there's no software to install... plug into the router, reboot the system, then point a web browser to http://192.168.1.1/ [15:44] hello soshka [15:44] umyi: on the desktop.. do you see a trash bin icon anywhere? usually lower right corner or on the background itself [15:44] brando: portforwarding depends on the router, what router do you have (what isp are you with) [15:44] brando1: the rest is up to you and linksys :D [15:44] mDemocritus thanks.. you beat me to it [15:44] [[for]]... or so [15:44] I've broken my ntfs partition, but I know what's wrong. In the partitiontable it says the partition starts at 63 but it actually starts at 64. How do I fix this? [15:45] so then how do i configure port forwarding, im not even sure what that is, but i read that its what i need to do to make Transmission faster [15:45] Slart: Ah, i didnt look after it there in first place [15:45] Sir_Fawnpug, another thing is that if one tool fails some reason, you have another tool for the job. That causes some bloating I guess, but it boils down to choice I guess [15:45] brando: you will find the control panel for your router by typing 192.168.1.254 into firefox. from there you can setup port forwarding, [15:45] www.portforward.com brando1 [15:45] umyi: =) it can be sneaky [15:45] brando1: it's in the applications and gaming section usually [15:45] can anyone tell me how do i check what ip i have in terminal ? [15:45] my files were there thx :) [15:45] brando1: follow the link from bazhang... good site for it [15:45] ifconfig [15:45] hi, how can I browse my windows network neighborhood with ubuntu through GUI ? I don't see how I can browse it (i'm under xfce) [15:45] my conky says i have ip adress 0.0.0.0 and its pretty still [15:45] Slart, you want to make your trash icon visible ? [15:45] can anyone tell me where I have to look for the deb file which synaptic has "only downloaded" for me? [15:46] thanks [15:46] Infinito_: nope.. but thanks anyway =) [15:46] suRs: ifconfig [15:46] !samba | AlexCONRAD [15:46] AlexCONRAD: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

[15:46] Armada, I'm not sure if there's an easy way to fix that [15:46] ok [15:46] Sir_Fawnpug: Then what's the hard way? :P [15:46] anyone with a solution for this gallery2 problem ? [15:46] mar77i /var/cache/apt/archives [15:46] i have internet issues anyone willing to help [15:47] Why can't I play an "ogg" (vorbis) audio file? What Ubuntu package do I have to install to play these files (with Amarok, mplayer, xine, etc)? [15:47] soshka: what is it? [15:47] Armada, my advice would be to back up the partition table and take a hex editor to it [15:47] Jack_Sparrow: thank you! [15:47] !ogg [15:47] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:47] Armada, you might also be able to do it with fdisk or gparted, but I'm not so sure about that [15:47] mar77i np [15:47] soshka, what's your problem exactly ? [15:47] umyi: did you find your files? [15:47] hello @all [15:47] hello noobuntu [15:47] !hi | chev_chelios [15:47] chev_chelios: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [15:47] nice nick btw [15:47] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, I'll check the web page. Didn't expect to have issues with a non-restricted format like Ogg. [15:47] so yeah - hw do i change permissions of /var/www so I can put my web page in there? [15:47] thx :D [15:48] or am i going about things the wrong way [15:48] it tells all about my ubuntu knowledge :P [15:48] kwtm Agreed [15:48] Armada, as long as you keep all of the relevant info handy, you could redo the partition table and it won't format anything [15:48] Slart: I was because i importing some pics to my pc, after i did format the camera, i found out that 1/3, was just grey, then I remembered that I had imported it twice and would just find out whether they were grey both, yes I found the file, thank you, but they 1/3 were grey both places [15:48] soshka: what is your problem with internet? [15:48] *it [15:48] Sir_Fawnpug: What if I request to move the partition but stop the operation as soon as it corrected the table? [15:48] Hello folks [15:48] umyi: ah.. to bad [15:48] Caf-Fiend: no you dont change them let them be the way they are [15:49] is qemu still the right package to be installing, or has something superseded it now? [15:49] Jack_Sparrow: Hey! That web page doesn't say how to play Ogg files. :P My Ubuntu came with the ability to play mp3's but not Ogg!? [15:49] noobuntu: this is the place where all noobs and kung fu masters exchange the knowledge, because knowledge is power! [15:49] Armada Sounds like a good way to break your system [15:49] Armada, I think fdisk is transaction-based, it might rollback [15:49] I'm about to download an Ubuntu install CD to install on my Desktop. Now I'm struggling whether to use 64 or 32 bit. Does compiz work with 64 bit on Ubuntu? [15:49] ray_: cheers, ok then, where do I put my html files? === daniel_ is now known as daniel [15:49] kwtm What distro are you using.. clearly not ubuntu [15:49] daniel: how much memory do you have ? [15:49] Armada, don't quote me on that though [15:49] daniel, may as well get 32bit [15:49] Slart: I don't have more than 4GB of memory [15:49] Slart: Now I moved the pics to a USB stick, then it reset the modified date both on the USB stick and on the desktop [15:50] daniel: 64 bit is usually more of a hassle than it's worth [15:50] Jack_Sparrow: Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty, currently up to date. [15:50] bazhang: Yes I guess that'll keep away much trouble. [15:50] kwtm in a term type lsb_release -a [15:50] Thanks guys, will go 32bit then. [15:50] Caf-Fiend: simply in /var/www, use sudo if needed to copy them [15:50] daniel: 64-bit can be a bit cranky when it comes to flash, java, electronic id's and such.. but you'll get those 0,5% extra performance =) [15:50] sorry extreme lag [15:50] chev_chelios: so, kung-fu masters, beat the sh*t out of me :))) [15:50] kwtm No version of kubuntu plays mp3s out of the box [15:50] basically my net works but it is very VERY SLOW [15:50] can i i do it with gui? [15:50] i have broadband 20mbit [15:50] daniel, I have 64bit computer and 32 bit runs great :) [15:50] hi all. When I'm using firefox and a Flash is played, alsa get busy and other media players (e.g. mplayer) cannot accsess. This happens in Hardy. Is there a solution? [15:51] so i shouldnt wait 40 min to get into google [15:51] ray_: i mean, how do i use sudo in gui [15:51] i changed my home folder , now when i try to login i get the error This process is currently running setuid or setgid This is not a supported use of GTK+ what to do [15:51] soshka: we need more info... what router, what service, etc [15:51] soshka-> you have a bit counter? [15:51] noobuntu: one day you become kung fu master, and serve other noobs... [15:51] Caf-Fiend, gksudo [15:51] all: i have issues with ubuntu update, can't upgrade [15:51] Slart: I think its too late to get the original dates back now, but in the future, is there a way to keep the original modified date? [15:51] umyi: yes.. I think moving files counts as modifying them... but the images probably have the date embedded in the image tag thingy [15:51] Caf-Fiend gksudo [15:51] i have very little knowledge in what you all have said [15:51] ta [15:51] Saelynh, you are so cool, how can you have ipv6? [15:51] Jack_Sparrow: Would it play ogg out of the box? If not, what do I do to get it to play ogg? Btw, result of "lsb_release -a" is: No LSB modules are available. / Distributor ID: Ubuntu / Description: Ubuntu 7.04 / Release: 7.04 / Codename: feisty [15:51] is there a terminal command results i can post to help you help me [15:51] kinda like me, i guess. i started noob, reached larvae, now i am an experienced fighter, one day praying to become kung fu master... [15:52] Caf-Fiend gksudo nautilus but it is not forgiving if you make a mistake [15:52] Slart: ok [15:52] soshka: what brand of device connects your computer to the internet, and who do you pay for your internet service? [15:52] :) === jasmine is now known as frasar [15:52] Jack_Sparrow: Don't think I have separate home, just backup tapes with bacula [15:52] chev_chelios: can you help me with upgrade to 8.04 ? [15:52] kwtm It should have played ogg and not mp3's [15:52] smallfoot-: I'm god [15:52] Caf-Fiend transfer them first to your homefolder, then cahnge yourself to 'sudo bash' and give your password, then copy or move them [15:52] Saelynh, cool [15:52] noobuntu: what is it? [15:52] !ot [15:52] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [15:52] ta [15:52] etronik I strongly suggest you look into a sep /home partition [15:52] first, how to manually force update? [15:52] Caf-Fiend: use sudo -i, not sudo bash [15:53] hi all ;) [15:53] ok [15:53] i have a motorolla broadband box thingy its virgin media (no problems with the company) [15:53] noobuntu, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, i think [15:53] noobuntu: apt-get dist-update or dist-upgrade i think [15:53] is there any reason i can't just change permissions on the folder [15:53] soshka: do you have other computers? [15:53] Jack_Sparrow: Funny. I brought over the autoconfig file from my previous installation, so I guess that's where it installed the mp3's. But I didn't take anything away, unless installing mp3 support takes away ogg ability... [15:53] so I can manipulate everyhitng in it [15:53] soshka: use my nick in your message so my client highlights you please [15:54] soshka-> unless you are one heck of a big company, gettin a 20Mbit link to an ISP is mucho dolares in cost [15:54] Jack_Sparrow: I tried looking in Adept for packages containing the word "ogg" but didn't know which one to install that would help me. :( [15:54] i still need a little help on this gallery2 and the ubuntu server, anyone? [15:54] kwtm It should not have removed anything.. but it could have a conflict somewhere... [15:54] soshka, do you have other operation systems (i.e windows, freebsd, etc) that you could test to see if get slow internet on them too ? that would help discarding possible problems [15:54] soshka: i've already missed a few of your messages [15:54] i mean, it's only running PHP for a local page [15:54] kwtm Gimme a sec to read up.. [15:54] amenado, i have 100 mbit [15:54] anyone noticed that if you move the mouse slowly, the cursor wont move, only when you move the mouse at a certain speed, the cursor starts moving at that speed aswell. this is with relativly low mouse sense since i like that :D [15:54] Jack_Sparrow: So I guess one place to start would be the mp3 packages and see if I can find what it conflicts with? [15:54] smallfoot--> right, up to your hub only [15:54] Aondo do you have an optical or laser mouse? [15:54] mDemocritus opical [15:54] amenado, nope [15:54] optical [15:54] amenado, everything works great now. Thanks, the only thing is that my refresh rate is down to 56 and by just looking at the xcreen makes you want to throw up. what was that code you had me type in again. it let me change the resolution and I forgot to change it. [15:55] Aondo: in ubuntu? I know windows XP has some weird "increase mouse precision" setting but I haven't seen it in ubuntu yet [15:55] amenado, my ISP offers 100 mbit/s down and 10 mbit/s up [15:55] Aondo might be your mouse.... [15:55] mDemocritus it is not. i'm sure. [15:55] amenado, i downloaded ubuntu 8.04 in 7-0 megabyte/s [15:55] Slart yes ubuntu [15:55] kwtm sudo apt-get install amarok-xine libxine1 libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs libogg0 liboggflac++2c2 liboggflac3 libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 libvorbisfile3 vorbis-tools vorbisgain flac [15:55] * mDemocritus is jealous of smallfoot- and his wicked ISP [15:55] no only ubuntu [15:55] smallfoot--> you must live across from an ISP premises [15:55] kwtm From this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=388537 [15:56] ubutnu 8.0 something [15:56] amenado, When I ran dist-upgrade, Ubuntu told me it would take some hours, it took <5 minutes [15:56] Aondo: I'm guessing it's your mouse that's doing it.. might be some kind of powersaving feature [15:56] last night the net was fine, perfectly fine now its all crazt [15:56] chev_cheliot: its dist-upgrade i think, it ask me if i'm root [15:56] Slart it does not have that feature. it's a MX518 [15:56] Chad2408m-> can you do this gksu displayconfig-gtk and configure your video card from there? [15:56] during boo, my system asks me for a keyeing password TWICE . how come ? [15:56] soshka: are you connected wirelessly or wired? [15:56] boot [15:56] amenado, its not so uncommon to have 100 mbit where i live, there are even some places with 1 gigabit, but its rare [15:56] wired [15:56] Slart it all depends on the sense i set it to, either in gnome, or with xset m. [15:57] hi all, how to set alsa as the default sound driver in ubuntu hardy [15:57] amenado, internet is fast in sweden, south-korea and japan, its only in USA where internet is sucks and 1970 [15:57] soshka: hop into a terminal for me [15:57] Jack_Sparrow: thanks, will see which pkgs I'm missing. (Or be lazy and apt-get install them and let apt-get sort it all out.) [15:57] smallfoot--> where do you live? you have fibre coming in to your premises? [15:57] Aondo: try checking out the assistive technology settings.. you might have hit a special key combo sometime and started something [15:57] not sure how to solve this mouse sense stuff :P sounds like a bug in x mouse driver or something [15:57] yes [15:57] mDemocritus: System > Pref > Sound [15:57] is there a way to remove the network indicator applet from the gnome toolbar? [15:57] soshka: did you solve your internet problem? [15:57] soshka: ping google.com [15:57] everything else has a Remove From Panel option, but not it [15:57] babolat: wrong nick? :D [15:57] amenado, i live in sweden, in an appartment complex, it has fibre to the house, then cat5 to the appartments [15:57] smallfoot--> i believe you, if you do have fibres into the house, [15:57] Slart this is allways, exept when i set the mouse speed to a higher speed [15:58] soshka: what's the time say? [15:58] thermoplyae: it isn't a panel object.. it'a a program running.. with an icon in the systray [15:58] chev_cheliot: are you there? [15:58] mDemocritus > sorry [15:58] Slart it is only when i want a slow mouse sense, which i usually do [15:58] babolat np [15:58] lets take the fibre chat to offtopic please [15:58] noobuntu: here i am [15:58] the working one is too high [15:58] thermoplyae: pkill network-manager.. or if it's called nm-applet or something [15:58] chev_cheliot: it asks me if i'm root [15:58] i am going to make an new installation of hardy and want to backup my stuff, what folders do i need to backup, home + etc folder or more folders ? [15:58] smallfoot--> okay that make sense, you swedish, japanese and koreans are making us live (merikans) in envy [15:58] and the slow mouse sense is useless with this bug === guerby_ is now known as guerby [15:58] noobuntu: did you do it in console? [15:58] chev_cheliot: sudo -s or how was it to change to root? [15:58] chev_cheliot: yes [15:59] Aondo: well.. I've never heard of it before.. but it might be a driver issue.. I just don't know [15:59] noobuntu: just sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:59] noobuntu: it's sudo -i [15:59] noobuntu sudo -i if you want a root shell [15:59] o rthat.. [15:59] do i post results or [15:59] what am i looking for? [15:59] much better than sudo su :D [15:59] Aondo, you got a usb mouse? do you know your motherboard model ? [15:59] slart: excellent [15:59] kwtm Shoot them all and let the ogg gods sort it out [15:59] julle_, you might also want to back up some things in var, depending on your setup [15:59] soshka: look for the "time=" number [15:59] hi, how to set alsa as the default sound driver system-wide (e.g. for command line mplayer), I kno how to do it for gnome [16:00] where is the info kept for the machine? i know there's something somewhere that you'd echo out to get system info but i forget where [16:00] kwtm Might save you a dep problem later [16:00] it says something like this right ?64 bytes from py-in-f99.google.com (64.233.167.99): icmp_seq=1 ttl=244 time=16.6 ms [16:00] julle_, If you have anyting in /opt, you might want to back that up as well [16:00] slart: is it safe to take more drastic action to prevent it from showing up at startup, or does it actually handle the process of connecting to a wireless network? [16:00] 94.6 ms [16:00] mordof: you mean in console or in x? [16:00] console === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [16:00] well, 'handle' here meaning 'initiate' [16:00] soshka: is that consistant? [16:00] mordof: i think lspci [16:00] lists all pci devices [16:01] all devices [16:01] soshka: and please include my nickname in your message [16:01] amenado, the mother of the guy who owns one of the internet companies here are like 70 years old and have like 10 or 40 gbit/s connection lol [16:01] thermoplyae: I'm not really sure how much of the actual work it does.. or if its' just a gui for the configuration settings.. [16:01] that's one of them.. how bout proc info, etc? [16:01] mDemocritus: ok [16:01] slart: then there's only one way to find out :) thanks again [16:01] smallfoot-, please chat elsewhere thanks [16:01] Infinito_ usb mouse yes. MX518.

[16:02] hi [16:02] Is it normal that Ubuntu disables an irq and tells you to try using irqpoll option even if you have irqpoll in boot options? I have to try a couple of times to get it to boot (Ubuntu 8.04, fully updated) [16:02] noobuntu: what are you using now> hardy or feisty? (7.10 or 8.04) [16:02] can somebody help me === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [16:02] 01.0 change [16:02] !ask | pablo [16:02] pablo: 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. :-) [16:02] !ask | pablo [16:02] chev_cheliot: 7.10 [16:02] i have a problem upgrading my ubuntu to hardy [16:03] Aondo Those logitec mice have given me nothing but grief..

[16:04] that's a good idea, Jack_Sparrow [16:04] noobuntu: try that link, it should have the explanations.

[16:12] Sir_Fawnpug: Me too, that's why I bought that 1TB drive ;) [16:12] mDemocritu : whats powercycling?

It's designed for laptops moving from one wireless environment to another. If you are disconnected, it immediately starts looking for other available connections. [16:12] Armada, I've been in a situation where I've had to manually fetch the data that was accidentally deleted from a coworker's ext3 partition; it's not pretty. [16:12] soshka: unplug the modem, wait 5-10 seconds, plug it back in [16:13] kwtm, ah great, sounds good I'll check it out, thanks [16:13] babolat: ty but page error [16:13] reflous: The real program is "Networkmanager", but it can be hard to use, so [16:13] soshka: it'll disconnect you from the net, but just log back onto freenode when you computer's restarted [16:13] cool ty [16:13] i'll be back [16:13] reflous: they wrote Knetworkmanager to make it easier to use. One caveat is that it [16:13] where can i find the Xubuntu Dvd Iso [16:13] reflous: has trouble with hidden networks; works better if the network is broadcasting its SSID (but ok to have encryption with keys) [16:14] !torrents | xxSimxx [16:14] xxSimxx: Hardy can be torrented from http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent or http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent depending on your architecture.

[16:15] Wait, how did I just join #ubuntu? [16:15] o-i-c DIL [16:15] smallfoot, they didnt work. The first command showed me info and the second one opened the update window http://paste.ubuntu.com/16194/ [16:15] I was allready in it. Gah irc. [16:16] Hi, i want to install Tapioca Or Jabbin in my ubuntu Gutsy [16:16] julio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tapioca [16:16] julio: Seems out of date. [16:16] chev_cheliot: it looks like this time upgrade will go through. i think the best thing is to reboot before going to upgrade the machine, in order to clear memory from eventual garbage :))) [16:16] trident523 It doesn't tell how to install in the Gutsy [16:17] should /home be setup inside a LVM or is that too risky ? [16:17] julio: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/tapioca-qt/0.14.1-0ubuntu2/+files/tapioca-qt_0.14.1.orig.tar.gz [16:17] smallfoot, i have not install anything different than all the upgrades for the 7.10 version and amsn [16:17] julio: As I said, seems out of date. [16:17] i think it's in the repos, julio.. try sudo apt-get install tapioca [16:17] I tried, It doesn't work. [16:18] Not even jabbin [16:18] julio: then that package might do it for you [16:18] julio: Then you'll have to compile it, I guess. === puzzle is now known as edson [16:18] i'm now in console as root. how to switch back to regular user? [16:18] julio, try 'aptitude search tapioca' [16:18] hello! I have an old IBM laptop whose screen is out of order. If I hook it up to a display through the VGA adapter, will it work? [16:18] noobuntu: 'exit' [16:18] noobuntu, exit. [16:18] thx [16:18] ratpoison, yes maybe, try [16:18] ratpoison, should do [16:18] ratpoison, it's worth a try. [16:18] no special commands needed? [16:19] noobuntu, nope, "exit" should be enough [16:19] noobuntu: nope, if you use su or sudo -s then exit takes you down one level. [16:19] it works with exit, thx people [16:19] If I type "java -version", I see that it's OpenJDK. But I also have Sun Java installed. How can I make the command default to Sun Java? [16:19] i wish "sudo exit" woudl work [16:19] Infinito, there are archives [16:19] cognatus: Why? [16:20] babolat, How can i use this package you sent me? [16:20] soshka: by the way, don't pm without asking in the channel first, it's considered rude by some people [16:20] just to see what would happen, i guess [16:20] cognatus: Wouldn't you allready be root then, trying to exit a terminal as root? [16:20] cognatus: when would "sudo exit" ever be more useful than "exit"? [16:20] Its me [16:20] can anyone give me a simple answer how to play music over smb:// directory using any player so far nothing work with amarok , VLC etc [16:20] its the same problem [16:20] cause it would like... REALLY exit [16:20] :P i dunno [16:20] second question: can mythTV interoperate with MacOSX? I'm thinking of making it a MythTV front/back end with the ability to send video through the WiFi. The other computers are Macs. Does MythTV interpoerate with Mac OSX? [16:20] cognatus: btw, the reason it doesn't work is because "sudo" creates it's own shell to execute the command in. But exit always works! [16:20] julio: here -->http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [16:21] ImDude: Why don't you browse to the directory? Or, even better... use DAAP. [16:21] i want also to now that with smb:// and playing music [16:21] soshka: i would try it with another computer, unless your ISP will support linux, which i doubt [16:21] installed tuxguitar but can't launch it :((( [16:21] Hum, thank you babolat. I'll try. [16:21] /usr/bin/tuxguitar: 21: /usr/local/opt/java/jre/bin/java: not found [16:21] well I did mont the directory I can browser fine I can even add songs to amarok but it won't play [16:21] what is DAAP [16:22] www.acronymfinder.org [16:22] Direct Audio Access Protocol, ImDude [16:22] noobuntu, ImDude: DAAP is way more supported. It's what iTunes uses in it's sharing. There's a project called Tangerine that is a server for DAAP. I'll go look quickly. [16:22] ** www.acronymfinder.com [16:22] there's all so ...MPD [16:22] oh yeah that's what I am talking [16:23] :) [16:23] cognatus, what is that [16:23] as well as gnumpd [16:23] babolat: you da man - thank you so much googled last night and could not find such a simple solution [16:23] ImDude, noobuntu: Well, atleast in rhythmbox, it's an enable-able plugin. In amarok, not so much. [16:23] ay't DIL [16:23] both work well and allow music streaming [16:23] it's a dictionary of acronyms [16:24] Slart: just so you know, removing the applet seems to keep the computer from automatically joining wireless networks, though it still automatically detects and joins wired ones [16:24] cognatus, dont spam the channel [16:24] smallfoot, are you still there?? would it help if i give you my upgrade logs? [16:24] it's possible that the keys for the wireless networks are being stored in a gnome keyring? i dunno [16:24] ottoshmidt, you have java installed? [16:24] anyway. now you know. and thanks again [16:24] when was i spamming bazhang [16:25] ottoshmidt, command would be... "whereis java" to find it [16:25] or which java [16:25] ok [16:25] cognatus, take unrelated links to support elsewhere; next time wont be a warning [16:25] ya [16:25] bazhang: someone asked what DAAP meant.. he just gave a valid external resource [16:25] ImDude, noobuntu: I forgot how I got amarok to do that kind of sharing, but rhythmbox has a plugin called "DAAP music sharing." Enable that, and if the other computer is serving, it should show up shortly. [16:25] nomasteryoda, /usr/bin/tuxguitar: 21: /usr/local/opt/java/jre/bin/java: not found [16:26] sorry [16:26] /usr/bin/java /usr/lib/java /usr/share/java /usr/share/man/man1/java.1.gz [16:26] is it ok [16:26] ? [16:26] ah... seems tuxguitar wants java in that folder [16:26] ottoshmidt, try 'sudo updatedb' and try locating again [16:26] ottoshmidt, use paste.ubuntu.com for large pastes [16:26] right. so when someone asks a "google it" question and someone replies "google.com", that's not spamming [16:26] oh [16:26] neverming seems you're done [16:26] trident523: thx, i found it. only now i must somehow force linux to see my windows network shares :D [16:26] *nevermind [16:27] there is one a little annoying thing that I can't find the settings for it since I am here for a quick stop I may s well as for it: when I have multiple windows open the windows behind the main windows becomes transparent a little, how can I remove that transparency /opacity ?? [16:27] noobuntu: Lucky me, I don't have any of those. :P [16:27] ratpoison, in web browser? [16:27] ImDude: are you using compiz? [16:27] ImDude, do you have compiz or the basic WM? [16:27] ottoshmidt, yes [16:28] trident523: i must have it, but i'm on the way to get rid of it :D [16:28] yes [16:28] compiz [16:28] ImDude, press alt+f2 type 'ccsm' [16:28] ImDude: should be in the compiz settings.... i think there's a transparency option [16:28] ottoshmidt, then, paste on the box, press send, and paste the address here [16:28] hi ,i have problems with java in firefox 3 in hardy 32 bit, i habe IcedTea, is this implementation incomplete for applets ? i need sun java or how can i fix this? [16:28] noobuntu: sshd is fast for transfering stuff between computers, and "just works." But only on *nx machines. [16:28] how do i play a dvd which i just mounted? [16:28] it was an .iso before [16:28] Does users-admin (in ubuntu/gnome) uses /etc/adduser.conf ? (it does'nt look like that for me!) Is there a way to change the default value of users-admin? [16:28] ImDude, you'll have to fiddle a bit as tehre are many different transparency settings [16:29] ratpoison, ok [16:29] I think I looked there but since I am a blind man chances are I missed [16:29] I'm going to reinstall Windows but that will overwrite my current mbr (GRUB) what is the best way to reinstall it once windows is installed [16:29] ImDude: go to system->preferences->advanced desktop eff sett [16:29] OK I will have another try. I have internet coming in from eth0. I want to share it though wlan0. [16:29] Armada: Back it up first with dd ;) [16:29] ImDude: well i know it's a setting in there... i'm just not sure where... try general settings [16:29] Armada, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows use whatever one you like [16:29] My current setup is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16196/ [16:30] What am I doing wrong? [16:30] ImDude: first transparency bellow general settings (second group), disable it [16:30] ImDude: check if you have System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effect Settings. If you do, then use the function search feature for "transparency" [16:30] how do i play a dvd which i just mounted? it was previously an iso file, if i use movie player i have to manually select all the .vob files [16:31] mohbana, you can select a folder to play in vlc [16:31] mohbana: some media players can play a directory... [16:31] or smplayer [16:31] mohbana: kaffeine does it too [16:31] mohbana, use vlc. Then File > Open Disk (or something similar) Then choose the corect device [16:31] and they "realize" the folder is more or less a dvd and just play it [16:32] thanks alot [16:32] trident523: the funny stuff is that i saw windows networks just before a couple of days. and since i tried to install wlan on ubuntu, i can't see it anymore [16:32] got it working! vlc [16:32] i got my problem nearly fixed [16:32] Guys! shuld I use LVM or plain partitions ??

That's what worked on my other pc [16:33] cognatus: care to elaborate just a tad ? [16:33] thankd! [16:33] Dasmoover, either that or envyng-gtk [16:33] etronik, YMMV but i found LVMing to be considerably less useful than previosuly imagined [16:33] sudo apt-get install? [16:34] Dasmoover, aye [16:34] Dasmoover, aye, or synaptic, if you like it graphical [16:34] etronik, and now i have 200GB of data that i want to de-LVM and no space to do it in [16:34] Dasmoover: then you can make sure it's working with glxinfo | grep direct [16:34] Dasmoover: it should say direct rendering = yes [16:34] im not using the graphics card [16:34] i need to install the drivers on [16:34] im using my onboard [16:35] is that ok?

[16:35] Ehh. Halfline. Ignore that. [16:35] just do sudo apt-get install envy in the command line?

[16:36] Would dd if=/dev/hda1 | (gzip to file) and then (gzip from file) | dd of=/dev/hda1 successfully backup and restore a NTFS partition in /dev/hda1 in case of viruses / spyware? [16:36] Dasmoover, On my other pc, I installed the exact same card from System > Hardware Drivers without a hassle [16:37] Note: The image would be made when the system is clear.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [16:39] ImDude: opacify, sry [16:39] Would dd if=/dev/hda1 | (gzip to file) and then (gzip from file) | dd of=/dev/hda1 successfully backup and restore a NTFS partition in /dev/hda1 in case of viruses / spyware?

[16:41] ImDude: give me a moment to look at it [16:42] thanks [16:42] well, it would do the entire partition [16:42] mDemocritus: Lemme guess, the partitions should be exactly the same size if restoring. Or will dd write safely on a larger partition? [16:42] Taza: error on the side of caution... same partition size [16:42] babolat, sorry the same error [16:42] Hello all. Was wondering if anyone had BlueRay discs working in their comp. I havent set out on it yet and the web has mixed results. is it worth the hassle? [16:43] babolat, i will copy the log in teh web so u can c it [16:43] If my Vista Client can see my Ubuntu access point and the signal is strong, and it connects is the problem ... [16:43] Taza: i don't have much xp with dd tho.... google the hell out of that before you write it [16:43] mDemocritus: Yeah, I was thinking that too. That however means I need to do the partitioning with the windows installer if I do... [16:43] how I configured the host? [16:43] client I mean! [16:43] Taza you should be able to partition it with fdisk... just make sure the type of the partition is correct [16:43] mDemocritus: I'm thinking of just dd'ing the windows xp partition to the linux partition and then restoring WHEN windows gets chockfull of malware again [16:44] Because oh-so-rare types of malware can infect a linux install from windows and then corrupt a disk image. [16:44] ImDude: perhaps i got wrong what is bothering you, tell me again your problem plz [16:44] Taza: or just don't use windows for web surfing.... [16:44] Taza: or anything for that matter :D [16:44] mDemocritus: Not an option. Bro. [16:44] mDemocritus: He's strictly against booting to a different OS for gaming.

[16:47] how to install wine in ubuntu linux ???? [16:47] pablo: easy way to paste to the terminal is to highlight copy a text then, with the cursor in the terminal active, press Ctrl-Shift-V [16:48] nope i still have the same error wit hmy graphics card im using onboard [16:48] netboy: sudo apt-get install wine [16:48] On a second issue how do I remove a firefox extension that comes back after every time I uninstall it? [16:48] netboy: You install it just like any other program. [16:48] correct [16:48] then what should i do to install mirc.exe [16:48] hi there channel :) [16:48] pablo: do you have all the updates for your current install? [16:48] Taza: that idea could mess up the games.... registry values and all [16:48] but I also like the fact that I can use alt and mouse2 (scroll) to make any windows transparent [16:48] ImDude: press super+P ... if this is not your solution, press it again to go back [16:49] netboy: wine /path/to/mirc.exe, or double-click on mirc.exe in the file browser [16:49] babolat: yes, i have download all the updates and amsn, but nothing else [16:49] are there alternative apt sources for gnash cvs versions? [16:49] netboy: ..run the installer perhaps? [16:49] After this operation, 55.1MB of additional disk space will be used. [16:49] Really wine is 55mb ?? [16:49] pablo, or highlight with mouse and middle click (it will only paste the currently highlighted text though) if you like mouse better [16:49] mDemocritus: It's still easier than reinstalling everything every time he gets a virus [16:49] netboy: well, it's a full emulator for windows, so that makes sense [16:50] the mirc will work right? [16:50] can anyone pm and help me out [16:50] Taza: i suppose.... [16:50] so i can add remote ?? [16:50] ratpoison: im using right click, but its ok [16:50] Wine Is Not an Emulator [16:50] pablo: in Software Sources, do you have the pre-release and unsupported updates checked/enabled?

[17:20] STSX: Of course that works. That's manually mounting. [17:20] dimas869: how about 'aptitude' at a terminal [17:20] I spent so much time before and I just coudn't find the right spot [17:20] Kuwanger: check this instead -->http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=292995 [17:20] any1 can help me? [17:20] noobuntu: thanks again [17:21] so.. firefox doesn't seem to have java enabled but I checked the synaptic package manager and the sun distro of it is installed. Do I just need a plugin? I also installed openjdk.. Which is better? When I ran sudo update-alternatives --config java it had a star by the OpenJDK one [17:21] Kuwanger: Actually that doesn't always work if your fstab is not correct. [17:21] probably because I installed it second.. it was probably already set to default [17:21] STSX: Well, yea. But the issue wasn't whether I could manually mount it or not or diagnose altering fstab to mount that way. [17:22] any application gets stock with the error [17:22] STSX: The issue was how to get auto-mounting to work so I wouldn't have to manually mount/unmount all the time for my dvd-rom drive. :/ [17:22] Kuwanger: could you paste your fstab? [17:22] how can i install mouse theme downloaded? [17:23] Lynet, it worked! Thank you. I will give you a virtual beer. A real one if you ever come to Cambodia!

[17:27] how do I fix that [17:27] how can i change mouse theme in ubuntu 8.04......../ [17:27] my questions more about which is better.. the sun jdk or openjdk.. but I found out that openjdk is by sun anyway.. so.. I'll figure it out the old fashioned way [17:27] for some reason the NIC isnt working using the livecd [17:28] D3RGPS31, your IP is assigned by your router [17:28] Lanlost: yeah I couldn't tell you that... i wish there was just one standard! [17:28] stsx: yea that helps thanks. so by /prefix do they mean /usr? also, do i just replaye hal-system-power-suspend-linux with my custom script? [17:28] eyes`only: actually it need to be set to 1 for on to hide join part msgs [17:28] ezzieyguywuf: What is the URL of the gnome-power-manager website? I'm just curious. [17:28] Kuwanger: upon startup, without inserting a CD, do you see your CD/DVD drive in "Computer" or /media ? [17:28] stsx: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-power-manager/index.html that is the main page [17:28] :-* [17:29] does anyone know what causes the live cd when booting to attach to the xsession? I am trying to create a custom liveCD but used the server as a base... and installed gnome-core on top of it. However when I boot the live CD in KVM it does not switch the the xsession but only a console. In comparision the default ubuntu iso does connect to the xserver when booting in a kvm session [17:29] stsx: i found the answer to my question in the FAQ [17:29] Lanlost: /set irc_conf_mode=1 gives 'no such variable' [17:29] babolat: Nope. [17:29] derspanker: yes, but i can't change 72.224.xxx.xxx, the range in the xxxs are from 1 to 255 so i don't think i'd beable to go outste that range [17:29] babolat: I should note, I'm not running gnome. [17:29] err that was to legend2440 :-\ [17:30] Kuwanger: then I strongly suggest you restart. [17:30] hi, how do you find out what hw:x,x a certain card is? [17:30] babolat: I still don't get your obsession with restarting. [17:30] ezzieyguywuf: I guess all you would need to do is replace that script. Have you tested your script successfully? and just out of curiosity--where did you get it? [17:30] how do i take screen shot? [17:30] I keep getting overflow in spectral RLE ignoring playing mplayer [17:31] legend2440: ok i figured it out.. the /set command needs no '=' sign [17:31] Kuwanger: just trying to help. i need to go, and i am telling you that you *might* solve your problem with a restart.. would it be that hard? [17:31] ugh [17:31] grr still getting quits and joins! lol [17:31] eyes`only: might need to restart xchat for it to kick in [17:32] can someone help me get my resolution over 800x600 O_o [17:32] babolat: How might it solve my problem? [17:32] suRs ... alt - print screen [17:32] stsx: yes my script runs great. All it does is a) replace compiz with metacity. b) call /usr/sbin/pm-suspend c) replace metacity with compiz :-) actuall, i had to sleep the computer after replacing compiz with metacity because it wasn't giving the comp enough time to make the change before replacing. It works great for suspending with ATI graphic and compiz. i made it myself (my first script!) [17:32] stsx: would you like to see the script? its quite short [17:33] legend2440: i refuse to restart an irc app for such a simple setting :P [17:33] hi [17:33] actionshrimp: I think that info is in /proc/asound/modules [17:33] again, Kuwanger... when adding a device to fstab, that means you want that device to be mounted when you STARTUP.. right after saving fstab after adding that file, no STARTUP is executed is there? and how do you execute a STARTUP? by turning off your computer then turning it on again. [17:33] hi i have a problem with apt someone can help me ? [17:33] anyone for the res issue? [17:33] jasiek_: we dont see a question [17:33] ezzieyguywuf: Sure, it sounds interesting--can you pastebin it please? [17:34] babolat: No, I don't. If no media is inserted, there's nothing to mount and it'll fail. If some media *is* in the drive, it will automount. But, then, I can't press eject to unmount. [17:34] stsx: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16209/ [17:34] eyes'only: I checked out my menu.lst and it looks ok [17:34] babolat: That isn't entirely true--you can test fstab by doing a "sudo umount -a" and it will mount everything in fstab. [17:34] babolat: Beyond that, 99% of the time, the dvd-rom drive won't even be connected at startup. [17:34] when i try to install something apt wants to install kdebase-workspace-libs4+5 [17:35] hey everyone, I've just installed screenlets for the first time. I have a few screenlets that I'd like to keep on the desktop, and not allow them to be minimizable, even when I click the show desktop button, is this possible? I've tried a number of google searches, and none of the solutions seem to work out, I was hoping that the "Window Rules" plugin in compiz might do the trick, but unfortunately that was a no go...any ideas? [17:35] stsx : i'm kind of hesitant to replace the whole hal-system-power-suspend-linux script with my custom one, namely because there are a lot of things i'm removing that i'm not sure what they do. [17:35] Every once in a while, my sound stops working and I need to restart to get it to work again. Can anyone help? [17:35] Kuwanger: it's your problem not mine.. mine is an advice :) [17:35] Can someone please help me with a hardware issue ? [17:35] babolat: Granted, it's my problem. I'm just trying to get advice more than the "kick it, maybe it'll work" variety. :) [17:36] ezzieyguywuf: But you have nothing to worry about if you just simply rename the existing one and replace it with yours. You can always change it back, right? :) [17:36] flying_greg: well that sucks... [17:36] stss: good point [17:36] legend2440: ok you win, i'm restarting :P [17:36] stsx: plus, i guess i will be using the pm-suspend script which does a lot [17:36] maybe il go over to the sabayon channel ..they will probibly help more O_o [17:37] Kuwanger: a CD/DVD drive is a device in itself, even without a disc inserted in it. a restart is not a bang-it-might-work solution. [17:37] I keep getting overflow in spectral RLE ignoring playing mplayer [17:37] hey [17:37] eyes`only: thanks for the help it was worth a try. my menu.lst shows 8.04, 2.6.24-16-generic [17:37] who helped me earlier'? [17:37] DASMOOVER that would be me [17:37] or at least attempted to [17:37] ezzieyguywuf: Do you know offhand if that gnome power manager site has info about the "/usr/sbin/pm-suspend" program you are using? I have to use /etc/acpi/sleep.sh for my computer. Where did you get info about that program? [17:38] i still cant believe that an app on an OS that prides itself for lack of need for reboots needed to be restarted for such a simple change as turning off joins and parts [17:38] can any one even read my text? [17:38] flying_greg: that's the only entry? [17:38] babolat: Look, I'm pretty sure that at some point, an event is generated by the kernel when a cd-rom is inserted in the dvd-rom drive. And I'm pretty sure that at that point, something will then execute the mount command necessary to mount the disc. [17:38] eyes`only: well, i got recovery mode, memtest also, and win2k [17:39] Kuwanger: as you please *sigh* [17:39] babolat: My general issue is, I don't know what that "something" is and why it's not running/working. [17:39] Is there some people having usbuirt worling with lirc on last ubuntu kernel (2.6.24.17) ? [17:39] Hi, I use firefox with ubuntu hardy : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5 I get an issue with space size : every space char takes the size of 3 normal spaces char. This is the case of both interface and content. Any idea or tip on a dependancie that may be the concern ? [17:39] stsx: i think i read somewhere that they would eventually make pm-suspend standard. I found it doing a search for files on my comp for 'suspend' as i was trying to find the script that controls suspend. I don't think pm-suspend does at the moment but it works great. That gnome-power-management website does mention it though. you should check it out. [17:39] so when you boot into 2.6.24-16-generic you don't have wireless and video drivers? [17:39] STSX: thanks [17:39] Kuwanger: How about trying "xev" in a terminal, insert your CD/DVD and see if it picks up the event? [17:39] flying_greg: so when you boot into 2.6.24-16-generic you don't have wireless and video drivers? [17:39] hi, the ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugin folder is no longer there, they changed the structure, were i must place te plugins for firefox 3 now? [17:39] eyes`only: i was thinking it was in interfaces, networks,hostname, hosts...everything looks ok === martinp23 is now known as Martinp23 [17:40] where can I see the screen resolution used currently on my laptop? [17:40] STSX: xev is for X events, not linux kernel events [17:40] simi, manual placement of plugins? [17:40] eyes`only: i got video just fine, just no networking capability whatsoever [17:40] Kuwanger: My mistake. :) [17:40] simi, /usr/lib/firefox/plugins i think.. [17:40] jatt : system>preferences>screen resolution [17:40] STSX: No problem. [17:40] anirudh0: yes manualy [17:41] flying_greg: do you actually have the non-generic video drivers? when it happened to me I was stuck with the software drivers [17:41] STSX, dmesg? [17:41] hello [17:41] ezzieyguywuf: Did you ever try the /etc/acpi/sleep.sh script? [17:41] simi, hmm..try there..not sure if it'll get recognized..look at about:plugins in ff after you put it there..check perms too [17:42] eyes`only: i got the ati driver from ati - why would video driver kill my networking? [17:42] stsx: yea, i think thats the default script. uhm, i accidentally removed (rm) my hal-system-power-suspend-linux script instead of renaming it (mv) like a dummy! could you pastebin yours for me so that i can have a backup? [17:42] I want to use dpkg-www, but I don't want to install apache. Is it also possible to use another (small?) webserver, and how do I have to configure it? (I chose thttpd) [17:42] simi : usr/bon/totem/gstreamer [17:42] anirudh0: thx [17:42] hi there, does anyone have an idea why there are no speaker setups shown in my amarok on ubuntu hardy amd64? [17:42] ezzieyguywuf: :D You really did that? OK hang on... [17:42] zvacet : *usr/bin [17:43] stsx: i know i know..... [17:44] zvacet: thanks! [17:44] jatt . np [17:44] flying_greg: it wouldn't, i'm just saying that when i lost wireless i also lost my vid driver, so apparently we don't have the exact same symptoms [17:44] ezzieyguywuf: I forgot to ask--are you on Hardy or Gutsy? I'm not sure if they changed the script between the versions, but just to be safe I want to give you the one you need. [17:44] uvok, searching google for "lighthttpd tut" is more likely to be helpful [17:44] stsx: i'm on hardy [17:45] flying_greg: do you not have ability for standard wired NIC either? === HappyHater_ is now known as HappyHater [17:46] eyes`only: nope, i have absolutely NO networking...wired or wireless...i can't even connect to my server through putty...going nuts here [17:46] eyes`only: i am stuck using win2k right now...hating life [17:46] flying_greg: what happens if you run gnome-network-preferences [17:46] ezzieyguywuf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16210/ [17:47] anybody know why ubuntu would keep "loosing" my domain settings? [17:47] already checked and it is not set to roaming [17:47] eyes`only: if that's the same as the ubuntu gui...i can change it between static, dhcp, etc. and nothing happens...can't even ping [17:48] stsx: thanks, thats a lifesaver. let me go try out my custom script now with fn-f4 :-) [17:48] I can't set up internet connection (DHCP && StaticIP doesn't work) thru ethernet modem, ubuntu 7.04, eth0 RTL8168 PCI-E 1Gb [17:48] Hmm, it seems I might be right. [17:48] under winXP it works [17:48] Rawk02: If I were you I would check /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname and make sure they exactly agree, with the domain included. [17:48] hey ive got a question: in the topic of this channel it tells me to "type /msg ubottu etiquette" [17:48] its that a typo? [17:48] filo86: i got same problem under 8.04, i don't know if i got rtl8186 or not [17:49] trebnoj: ubot3` not ubotu [17:49] *ubottu [17:49] Rawk02 ... it doesn't like you ? :P You should probably provide the specific behaviour. [17:49] anirudh0: Theres a long chatlog as onliest result, I guess you meant that? [17:49] filo86: i think under ubuntu forums there is a fix for the rtl8186 [17:49] flying_greg: how about gnome-nettools [17:49] Kuwanger: So did you fix your problem? [17:50] flying_greg: err gnome-nettool, sorry [17:50] STSX: if i just manual edit them to match should that take care of it? [17:50] eyes`only: i'll have to jump off here and reboot back into ubuntu - what should i look for? === _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka [17:51] Rawk02: That could be a bit dangerous if you don't have experience with them... how about pastebin the exact contents of both those files before you change them? [17:51] STSX: Not yet, but I think I found the answer. Apparently, the kernel sends events to hal, hal sends events to gnome/kde, and gnome/kde mounts the cd-rom. [17:51] well nettool is an app to test pings and tracerts and the like, see if you can select your eth0 and do any of that [17:51] Hi [17:51] eyes`only: yeah i can't ping out [17:52] STSX: Since I'm not using gnome/kde, I'm not seeing automount behavior. However, there's something called ivman which does the same job. [17:52] can you ping your router? [17:52] did anyone I have problems installing Hardy [17:52] Morning. I'm having some problems with my webcam under Hardy, which isn't detected. I'm on a HP Pavilion dv9000. Most people seem to say their webcam works with V2LC but I'm not getting it detected under either Skype or Ekigo. [17:52] Kuwanger: Interesting--and did you find a way to monitor when a kernel event occurs, like inserting your CD?

[17:54] anyone have any experience with the pcsx PSX emulator [17:54] make sure you ping IP not domain name [17:54] Rawk02: OK... how about the URL so I can see it?

[17:55] STSX: if i am looking at it right the .mshome should be what the domain name is correct? [17:55] Hi, i have a probleme with Xubuntu when i run it "live or "install"... I have the Busybox in my face [17:55] so...no i can't ping router [17:55] SuN13: That'll work, yeah. [17:56] anyone have experience here with ubuntu x64 pcsx [17:56] flannel: dsk starts from 0 and partition starts from 1 ? [17:56] flying_greg: does 'route' give any feedback? [17:56] Rawk02: Yes I believe all you need to do is edit the hostname file to include your "mshome" domain too, so it should be "zach-desktop.mshome". Do you know how to edit the hostname file? [17:56] error code here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16213/ [17:56] <[LMJ]> thanks jrib, that's solve my problem [17:56] it just keeps sending packets but no return [17:57] My Mouse-Cursor moves to the corners when I focus a new window. How can I disable this? [17:57] STSX: should just be a simple sudo gedit right? [17:57] Yan3: Hold on, let me check something for you. It should work. [17:57] SuN13: No, they both start from 0 [17:58] Hi everybody, got a little problem, really boring. I got the 8.04 cd, and when i try to install it, or to boot on the livecd, it waits a few minutes on the ubuntu loading screen, and then comes the busybox, without any error message. [17:58] Any idea ? =s [17:58] Rawk02: Actually should be "gksudo gedit /etc/hostname", but to be on the safe side, you might want to backup that file first. [17:58] can anyone help me setup dualview with my nvidia 8400 GS? [17:58] !hostname | Rawk02 [17:58] Rawk02: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING!

Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [17:58] Dasmoover, I suggest you install TwinView and work from there. [17:58] flannel: what about the chainloader +1 option do i keep that the same? [17:58] SuN13: yep [17:58] Yan3: I don't exactly have an idea how to solve this. [17:58] Rawk02: Technically you need to use gksudo instead of sudo since gedit is a GUI app. [17:58] STSX: Yep, testing it out, it seems to work. [17:58] flannel: thanks gonna try now [17:59] what is the oackage name? [17:59] Kuwanger: That's great--so what was your solution? [17:59] hm whats with the red lines in the chat? [17:59] STSX: Bascially, installing ivman and running it. :) [17:59] flying_greg: kinda sounds like a firewall issue, but i don't use the firewall so i don't know how to use it [17:59] arch: ....seems to be a help for limited persons...

[18:01] dd if=/dev/yourdvddrive of=/your/dir/something.iso [18:01] Kuwanger: Hmmmm... I'm just wondering why Ubuntu doesn't just come with that program by default? Seems like basic functionality they should incorporate....

I'm the odd-ball that uses icewm. :) [18:03] Kuwanger: Oh I missed that part. :) [18:04] Kuwanger, i could'nt manage to configure ivman..though install's easy..try the automount program [18:04] Kuwanger, when you try to access a drive..say ls /mnt/cdrom, the drive will get mounted...config's much easier..forgot the details, google them up [18:04] eyes`only: gksudo sets up the correct environmental variables for gedit and other GUI apps--just because gedit is tolerant enough to be run with sudo doesn't mean you should. :) [18:05] anirudh0: For me it was easy. Run as root, run as user, and it just worked. [18:05] anirudh0: But, if I have problems, I'll look into automount.

[18:46] lol @ javagamer [18:46] Starnestommy: before [18:46] Oli: It's the BIOS that tells me the CPU is going over 100C [18:46] woah [18:46] julle_: sounds like a bad cd [18:46] blaked: if you can't say something helpful, be quiet.

[18:47] I didn't reapply any thermal paste (I assumed what's on there already is enough, I don't have any thermal paste on hand) [18:47] javagamer: the cpu is either overheating or the temp probe is messed up.... one or the other [18:47] julle_: you may need to also download it again, or try the alternate cd [18:47] javagamer: get some... it's pretty cheap... like 3-6 bucks [18:47] whats a module is it liuke an nlm [18:47] !ops | h4mx0r [18:47] h4mx0r: Help!

[18:49] when i install various programs into my ubuntu system.. does the main weight of the data go somewhere in the root.. or specificly within the home mounted partition [18:49] hail to the priest [18:49] I request some help. I'm new to ubuntu [18:49] :D [18:49] xD === blaked is now known as fedagent [18:49] !ask | WarPriest [18:49] WarPriest: 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. :-) [18:49] Jaikkuli: somewhere in the root [18:49] Jaikkuli: everywhere besides /home [18:49] The problem is it's sunday and there isn't anywhere nearby that sells thermal paste. I'm checking if any of my freinds have any. Would none-computer places (like a hardware store) sell thermal paste? [18:49] what do you all use for a quick cfv md5 checksum check? i read about cksfv but not in the repos so just get cfv from the repos? [18:49] I am still an elf [18:49] Jaikkuli: mostly /usr typically [18:49] Anyone able to install ubuntu 8.04 in qemu? [18:50] astro76: which means i still should have a decent amount of space put away for the root then? [18:50] Jaikkuli: It all goes in root, unless you tell some of it to go elsewhere (home is a good place to keep elsewhere). All of your non-personal stuff will be stored inside of /, but in a variety of directories [18:50] javagamer: anywhere you can buy a processor I guess.. [18:50] astro76: because i am not sure what is reasonable [18:50] it fails for me saying it can't find a cdrom drive [18:50] javagamer: rubbing alcohol over the cpu removes old adhesive residue and quickly dries. The less water content the better don't worry about frying stuff because the water content has less electrons [18:50] Slart,that was the problem....thx [18:50] Can I create the xinetd.d dir under /etc ?? 8.04 does not have it by default [18:50] !ask How do I increase the resolution? The resolution goes up to only 800*600. [18:50] WarPriest: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:50] D: [18:50] so if i am storing all my personal data in home.. how much would be reasonable to put aside for root? [18:50] Jaikkuli: 10G /should/ be fine, 20G will definately be (for a standard desktop install, if you know better, give yourself more) [18:50] javagamer: probably not... best wait till tomorrow. put down the computer and go play catch or something :P [18:50] moshe: ah.. nice [18:50] Flannel: ok [18:50] WarPriest: don't prefix things with !ask, just ask [18:50] !ask How do I increase the resolution? [18:51] javagamer: just be sure to apply new paste and use a plastic bag or similar for every step to make sure nothing mixes that shouldn't [18:51] oh [18:51] XD [18:51] Excuse me, but is this generally a good idea: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installing_Pulseaudio_Tools ?

I use to have DammSmall Linux installed on an old 450MHz box and it worked fine. I have since upgraded to xubuntu 8.04 and now the NIC isnt working. [18:52] javagamer: all hardware stores sell the stuff but if you like have to make some you could use baby powder and umm some sort of oil I remember reading about these people making systems out of old nintendo parts doing that but its sloppy work that wouldn't be a long term fix [18:52] glitsj16: what does? Pulseaudio or those Pulseaudio tools instructions? [18:52] Pulseaudio: both [18:52] Myrtti: i cannot remember it's complete meaning.. i learnt like 3 years ago, and was half asleep while listening [18:52] * WarPriest sigh [18:52] h4mx0r: hardware stores sell CPU thermal paste? [18:52] glitsj16: I thought Pulseaudio was installed by default though [18:53] but what of the libflashsupport installation there? [18:53] Myrtti: i shall wiki it [18:53] Pulseaudio: it is, you'll have to start the daemon though [18:53] * WarPriest wants to increase resolution but cant. :[ [18:53] anyone have any ideas to get the NIC working [18:53] hmm [18:53] Jaikkuli: I usually try to keep atleast /boot and swap and / in primary [18:53] glitsj16: I thought it was always on, replaying ESD as a sound mixer [18:53] Pulseaudio: it looks safe, although pulseaudio-* will install some uneeded dbg packages [18:53] Thanks for all your help. I'm off to the local hardware store. [18:53] h4mx0r, thermal compound isn't oil and baby powder :-P it's metal powder in a semi-liquid form [18:53] I hate 800*600. [18:53] Pulseaudio: this is the problem with ubuntuguide, it doesn't tell you why, just how [18:54] Myrtti: is there any difference in performance etc between using a logical and a primary partition? [18:54] flannel: i couldnt get the grub to boot to the other os...i think i am missing something... edit the menu.lst in grub directory do i need to edit the device.map....this this os is on a separate disk not its ntloader as boot loader... [18:54] Arctic Silver 5 ftw [18:54] Cafuegos custom pakages had b43 and my lt has xb63 [18:54] y'know, so I have audio everywhere. I'm worried about libflashsupport though, I heard it'll fix flash's audio but break things [18:54] question: Why does my audio/video sometimes play at a snails pace and other times not? (it's not cpu related) I'm using hardy. [18:54] Slart: I haven't looked into it that much [18:54] Artic Silver 5 is my fav [18:54] Myrtti: does formatting have much point? is it ok to use ext3 for everything or? [18:54] Arctic* [18:54] brad0722: most likely a codec issue [18:54] well, here's to finding out [18:54] WarPriest: what graphics card do you have? maybe it only supports that resolution [18:54] Ok guys (and/or gals), how do i increase my resolution to 1280*1024?

What error did it give? Also, you can try a bunch of things by editing the lines inside of the grub menu, just hit 'e' and you'll get dropped to an editor (useful for trial and error) [18:55] WarPriest: did you read the link that ubotu sent you? [18:55] Myrtti: i have used both at different times with no problems.. and i have no preference.. but is there anything important that i should know? [18:55] uhh [18:55] Jaikkuli: if you've got a huuuuuuuuuuuge partition, then format that to xfs, fsck can be run for it even if it's mounted, that makes the booting process a bit faster [18:55] Pulseaudio: have you seen (and tried) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 ? [18:55] is there a google desktop pkg for ubuntu repo? i see one in google's own site.. is that the preferred one to install should I choose to use google desktop ? [18:55] i didnt get it?

Ext3 is better when it comes to smaller files I think [18:56] (which is somewhat broken at the moment, I've come to understand [18:56] brad0722: or the codecs are not the best really [18:56] i installed teh nvidia drivers [18:56] man this is like work [18:56] Pulseaudio: yes it does, basically install flash 10 beta from adobe and you're good [18:57] anyone in here familiar with ubuntu server [18:57] kitche: if that was true, would it *sometimes work just fine*?

When I go to network settings shows a point to point connection [19:15] jimcooncat: not seeing it there. perhaps it's a firefox 2 versus firefox 3 thing [19:16] WarPriest: is that all it says?

[19:20] mDemocritus I do have link lights on the switch and NIC [19:20] Slart: also I found a guide to installing from the CD's that seems MUCH easier than the one Bioware wants me to use [19:21] DOS rocks, lol... so simple. Only true suckage is for devs to program for a specific hardware (ie: GPUs, sound, etc.) [19:21] Ward1983: Dual monitors or no?

But you have enough ram? [19:22] jimcooncat, 4GB... lol [19:22] cipher_nemo: Im using compiz and I want to watch movies on full screen...

[19:22] Ward1983: So you're running 64-bit? [19:22] lol [19:22] jimcooncat, correct [19:22] i allready said that :) [19:23] sTiVo: what kind of problem? [19:23] Slart: yep I did and saved the hints ... I'm usually offline you see. [19:23] mDemocritus The NIC is ISA if that matters [19:23] me too [19:23] ciphet_nemo: and if I'm playing im playing wine, but I play quite rarely on linux... [19:23] Agion: movies, as in DVDs, mpegs, or some other format? [19:23] weeman13221: shouldn't [19:23] mDemocritus: shouldnt what? [19:23] Hi, i need some help, somehow firefox 3b5 is not starting up [19:23] cipher_nemo: any movies, my fps with fgrlx is like 200 [19:23] sorry Ward1983 got to the game late. Nothing is scarfing up your memory that you can see in top or System Monitor? [19:23] Rampage: tried starting it in safe mode? [19:24] i see the firefox process running when u run ps [19:24] Agion: are you using Totem or some other plalyer? [19:24] mDemocritus, my home tower is not the tower its gonna be running on once its done being configured [19:24] player* [19:24] I have to set my clock to "use UTC" in order to show the correct LOCAL time. [19:24] How can I start it in safe mode Slart [19:24] weeman13221: i'm at a loss... try spending some more time on google, look for install network drivers [19:24] Rampage: from a terminal, run "firefox -safe-mode" [19:24] cipher_nemo: its not about the movies, the whole system lags much... [19:24] jimcooncat, 443.1MB is used atm [19:24] Ward1983: and you got at least a little swap? [19:24] jimcooncat, i got a swap of 6GB [19:24] I almost dropped my laptop [19:24] Rampage: I think it skips your add-ons and such.. [19:24] jimcooncat, 8 was a little over the top :) [19:25] mDemocritus, been there done that i just need some way to install the driver if i can get the files [19:25] Oh, okay trying now Slart [19:25] Well that's not it unless your box is overheating [19:25] Agion: if it's the whole PC, then it might not be related to video drivers or x's config. Or is it just lag when moving around windows, etc.? [19:25] Slart: I get nothing, no response from terminal [19:25] :S huh [19:25] Rampage: and no firefox, I assume [19:25] Rampage: run "killall firefox" from a terminal first, to get rid of any firefox processes out there [19:25] Slart: I am able to load up firefox 2 normally [19:25] i receive mote bytes / second then i should receive [19:25] liek WAY more [19:26] wow, is this really for Ubuntu support? [19:26] sTiVo: set the machine clock to whatever timezone you want, either UTC or local, then set up NTP- `ntpdate pool.ntp.org` is a quick fix [19:26] anyone here know how to get the TiLP2 usb drivers to work? [19:26] Slart: there are no firefox processes running [19:26] donsolo: yeah, cool huh? [19:26] sTiVo: linux and windows uses the hardware clock a bit different.. but you might already know that [19:26] very cool [19:26] how do I scan for 802.11g [19:26] I'm kind of a linux n00b so... [19:26] Slart: I was surprised I got no results for "locate firefox-bin" [19:26] Rampage: hmm..no error messages either? [19:26] ciepher_nemo: Wihtout the 3D fgrlx it runs well, but with it it lags, i think its pretty much to due with my graphic card drivers... [19:26] weeman13221: what kind of stuff do you have running on the server? [19:26] no error either Slart [19:27] eh quelque speak french,, [19:27] Rampage: try running "pkill firefox; pkill npviewer.bin"... then try again [19:27] donsolo: we usually just ask questions and give answers, so just shoot it out there [19:27] !fr | trofhacker [19:27] trofhacker: Ce canal est en anglais uniquement.

[19:27] My point is that none of this was a problem until I installed the latest ubuntu upgrades. Previously, I did not need to select "use UTC" to show the correct time and now I do. [19:27] i'd rather not have to have local copies of my music [19:27] aller moin vite merci ^^ [19:27] well is there any like skins to make this thing prettier than it is already?

I was wondering how to find out if this is a bug. [19:28] weeman13221: use a different ethernet card then :D [19:28] Rampage: hmm.. nothing in the syslog either? [19:28] Hey guys, is there any way for me to check out my cpu temps? [19:28] can be a little more specific donsolo. You want a skin for your irc program? [19:28] slart, good idea! I'm a bit slow today :) [19:28] lol === FriedCPU is now known as FRiEd|BnC [19:28] Slart: Let me ckeck [19:28] :-D [19:28] Rampage: what errors do you get when trying to start firefox in a terminal ?

In component main, is extra.

[19:29] guys.. need help with Ethernet Card issues : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=814701 [19:29] francesco, you may want to be a little more specific.. for instance what language are you using?

[19:30] Slart: I found package X Sensors which uses lm-sensors. Thank that one's good? (from add/remove apps) [19:30] Pulseaudio: forgot the little dash there.. it's a pretty boring text mode app.. but there are other, more shiny apps that can present it to you.. !conky and such [19:30] cn28h: I use C.

[19:33] legend2440: yes i have, firefox and firefox-3.0 start a firefox process but no gui loads [19:33] setite: should ask your pfsense question in one of the BSD channels [19:33] I have two ethernet ports myself, both onboard however. [19:33] it says ESSID:off/any ........ does this need to be on for wifi to work??!??!?!?! [19:33] weeman13221: it might just be some obscure NIC that nobody's written a driver for [19:33] Pulseaudio: but then that'll deleted your ip settings .. won't it? [19:33] firefox-2 loads the browser gui [19:33] lol [19:33] Slart: okay that explains why i don't have it [19:33] I can't hit backspace in awn... help?

[19:39] troxor: I have it and it's very very frustrating :P [19:39] Starnestommy: i downloaded and burned a new copy of hardy but i've got the same BusyBox again [19:39] true [19:39] very true [19:40] Agion: Mesa is software acceleration [19:40] Darlok_Williams: that's kinda funny... i hated it for the three weeks that it took me to install gentoo... but i learned so much i love it now :D [19:40] julle: what about the alternate cd? [19:40] How do i check what type of filesystem i have [19:40] Agion: you want the vendor of your card on that line [19:40] ok [19:40] gentoo is hard [19:40] I wonder... I really wonder why I still insist on using Linux so much.... I really enjoy the idea of it... but the time I burn for nothing is tremendous [19:40] deadlyallance703: you could install the stuff yourself..

[19:41] troxor, how can i easily check it [19:41] jimcooncat: Hmm... after a quick scan, I didn' [19:41] jimcooncat: didn't see anything that tells how to completely remove Ubuntu and just go back to Windows (it's for a neighbor, not me :) [19:41] I have a hard time loosing wieght [19:41] some simple command [19:41] ? [19:41] what channel can i get help with mysql?

[19:42] true [19:43] I like the cure [19:43] reppypepp1: you can try umounting and mounting it again, maybe it will say. [19:43] Anyone here running on an amdx264 machine? Are you able to enable cpu scaling in ubuntu 8.04? [19:43] whats the terminal command for emptying trash? [19:43] Darlok_Williams: if it's vista here's a much better site: [19:43] http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Linux [19:43] Pulseaudio: yes and yes [19:43] Darlok_Williams: you can use gparted from the live CD to remove the Ubuntu partitions and resize the Windows partition to occupy the free space [19:43] Jaikkuli: rm ~/.local/share/Trash or somesuch [19:43] Slart: USB 3.0's speed is around 4.8 Gbits/ sec [19:43] I love linux [19:43] soundray: That's what I did... but I'm stuck on Grub not booting windows. DO I need to use the Windows XP disc to fix that? [19:43] I love stallman [19:43] Darlok_Williams: yes [19:43] Slart: I get this message that I am unable to use cpu scaling when I add the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor to the panel [19:43] I love you guys [19:43] rm ~/.local/share/Trash is this how i empty my trash? [19:44] soundray: You happen to know the command for the recovery console? [19:44] Henry_RHodes_III: We love you too. [19:44] Pulseaudio: you might have to install something.. hmm.. hang on [19:44] Does that work for you, Slart ? [19:44] Darlok_Williams: if you don't have one, you can use any DOS rescue CD/floppy [19:44] thanks [19:44] I used to have a trident [19:44] Pulseaudio: yes.. I have two of those running.. [19:44] (or is this something due to CnQ possibly being not turned on?) [19:44] if I had to pick up a book from a (you know) bookstore, does anyone have any recommendations about ubuntu books / linux file system? [19:44] vga [19:44] Jaikkuli: or just cd to .local/share/Trash/ and look at it ;) [19:44] Two of them? for the two cores? [19:44] Darlok_Williams: no, but IIRC, there is a menu option for repairing the master boot record. [19:44] Darlok_Williams: i think it is fixmbr or fixboot [19:45] Pulseaudio: yes.. .one for each core.. I couldn't decide which core I wanted to look at =) [19:45] Irc is addicting [19:45] kappaccino: o'reilly's stuff is usually good, though there might be better, or might be worse [19:45] Darlok_Williams: in DOS, it's fdisk /fixmbr [19:45] troxor: well for some reason it is not letting me delete some files.. dunno why but some files do not have te permission and i cannot change it [19:45] troxor: so i planned to do it as root [19:45] how do i fit the up bar to use all the up space?????????????' [19:45] lol [19:45] mDemocritus: ummmmm dunno no network connectivity, need to get drivers for ethernet to work then after that im just dandy for everything else [19:45] Jaikkuli: rm ~/.local/share/Trash will remove the Trash folder rm ~/.local/share/Trash/* removes the files inside [19:45] Henry_RHodes_III: do we know ;-) Myrtti aka Online on IRC since 1996 [19:45] soundray: Thank you. [19:45] legend2440: thanks [19:45] not realy [19:45] Will I get any problems if I try installing Ubuntu 8.04 on a macbook?

[19:46] weeman13221: but it works on the original system? [19:46] saxin: not necessarily [19:46] torroella: right click -> properties, tick the "Expand" box [19:46] soundray: is it tested? [19:46] I'll check on CnQ first I suppose, it might not be turned on. Them bios makers always disable it by default >:( [19:46] Pulseaudio: I'm looking through the list of stuff I've got installed.. see if I can find what it was [19:46] saxin: I suggest you look up some installation reports first, though. E.g. on tuxmobil.org [19:46] cnq [19:46] how do I expand the upbar???? http://img50.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotgj6.png [19:46] lol [19:47] Jaikkuli: wait rm ~/.local/share/Trash/share/* removes the files [19:47] legend2440: i cannot, i get this following prompt [19:47] torroella: middle-click drag the items to the right [19:47] soundray: Hmm... I booted my Windows XP disc, but it didn't give me an option for Recovery Console... did I miss something? [19:47] mDemocritus: no, that what i been saying, on the original tower and mine no ethernet [19:47] torroella: or hold shift, and grab the leftmost one and drag them all at once ;) [19:47] lol [19:47] legend2440: ahh [19:47] troxor: i did it :< [19:47] does anyone know a programm to make an image-presentation on DVD? [19:47] soundray: Well.. If is there some known problems that will happen? [19:47] Darlok_Williams: don't know, sorry, now Windows expert here. [19:47] lol [19:48] Darlok_Williams: f8 [19:48] DIL: When? It never showed the option... [19:48] I dunno how ubuntu-related this question is, but could somebody help me daisy-chain two routers? I got FiOS installed two days ago and their router sucks, so I'd like to turn off it's wifi capabilities and use a WRT54GL router instead. [19:48] legend2440: says no such directory [19:48] lol [19:48] he said daisy [19:48] Pulseaudio: I've got the powernowd installed.. that might be it [19:48] troxor, but it is my main harddrive with root on it [19:48] Bllz: If you are lucky, their router can be set to bridge mode. [19:48] weeman13221: ok... first thing to do is find out if it's being detected [19:49] cool [19:49] well i'll have to do that [19:49] saxin: there are some differences between Macs and other PCs, mainly in the way the filesystems are laid out and the minimal system that boots the machine (EFI vs. BIOS). [19:49] this will tell you: lspci | grep -i ethernet [19:49] Lynet: the actiontec can? [19:49] Jaikkuli: sorry got confused rm ~/.local/share/Trash/files/* [19:49] Slart: under services settings (admin->services) I see powernowd activated [19:49] lol [19:49] troxor: i cant!

But before the wireless would not work. Is this still the case? [19:49] Lynet: I tried an online tutorial yesterday and there were epic amounts of fail that ensued [19:49] Slart: aye, will reboot in a bit [19:50] can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some on [19:50] e help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me g [19:50] et kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba dock please can some one help me get kiba doc [19:50] kappaccino: carnovski !flood [19:50] k please [19:50] DIL: Well, I don't know what happened, but apparently just booting the Windows XP install disc changed the mbr.... because now it booted just fine. [19:50] Whoops. [19:50] soundray: I'm thinking of removing macosx, and run ubuntu on it.. [19:50] * Darlok_Williams slaps the crap out of carnovski. [19:50] trident523, huh? [19:50] troxor: done, nothing yet [19:50] carnovski: No. [19:50] Jaikkuli: can you browse to ~/.local/share/Trash/files and see if its there? [19:50] kappaccino: Sorry, mah backspace still isn't working. [19:50] torroella: then move them by middle click dragging them where you want [19:50] carnovski: what the hell is wrong with you.. the world doesnt revolve around you, shut the hell up [19:50] Darlok_Williams: glad to help :-) [19:50] I love ubuntu [19:51] torroella: or hold shift, and that will 'push' all unlocked applets out of the way [19:51] anybody know how to put an actiontec router into bridge mode for use with a linksys wrt54gl? [19:51] Bllz: Have fiostv? Don't if you do. [19:51] trident523: no. only internet [19:51] legend2440: yes i could cd to it [19:51] troxor: nothing happens!! [19:51] saxin: I think most wifi chipsets that are in use on Apples these days are supported. No guarantees, though [19:51] Bllz: Oh, cool. Not using actiontec + tv = broken TV service. [19:51] torroella: ok, right click and select move [19:51] troxor: so what do I need to do with the driver? [19:51] torroella: then move them around [19:52] Jaikkuli: any files in there? [19:52] trident523: haha yeah they warned me about that. do you know how to do it? === RuyalarPrensi_ is now known as RuyalarPrensi [19:52] Agion: there are tons of tutorials, one sec [19:52] saxin: boot the live CD -- maybe your wifi works out of the box, then you don't have anything to worry about. [19:52] legend2440: ls right? no.. doesnt list anything [19:52] soundray: I see.. [19:52] Bllz: You could bridge it, or just connect the linksys infront of it. [19:52] legend2440: but wait.. sorry.. the files are from an ipod.. do they have a seperate trash? [19:52] troxor: it expands when i set it to the right or left but up doesn't, that's the problem i can't expand to use all the space above [19:52] how do I get VNC working in Ubuntu hardy?

I'm afriad that just connecting the router will cause conflictsm, for example with the administration page since they both use the same IP [19:53] could it work? [19:53] brb testing CnQ [19:53] Bllz: I've never tried it though.

Similarly, synaptic shows that the installed version is 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3. I guess Synaptic's right, huh? So wonder wh [20:32] D3RGPS31: I think Ubuntu seems to have a bit of a bug with this [20:32] noobuntu: try the live cd's.. each one has a different feel to it [20:32] D3RGPS31: To do that you need to plug it in before Ubuntu boots up [20:32] whoops, i meant firefox --version reports Mozilla Firefox 3.0b5, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2008 mozilla.org [20:33] D3RGPS31: Then it seems to function correctly [20:33] jamiejackson: add hardy-proposed back again, since synaptic hasn't got firefox3rc1 in it's repo i think [20:33] net [20:33] then i must all download and install ... little bit tedious work regarding that i have 0 knowledge about linux [20:33] Goop: when i do that, or plug it in after boot, it lists itself under mouse devices [20:33] I have proposed and backports enabled as software sources atm, so yeah... [20:33] Goop: should it be doing that? [20:33] slart: then i must all download and install ... little bit tedious work regarding that i have 0 knowledge about linux [20:34] D3RGPS31: I'll try plugging mine in, I haven't used it in a while [20:34] Goop: is it adesso o.O [20:34] slart: which one do you use and why not the other one?

[20:36] D3RGPS31: Mine also acts like a mouse and not a tablet [20:36] slart: so, main difference is window engine? [20:36] jamiejackson: I'm not sure about that, but try upgrading to 3.0rc1 again ? [20:36] ubot3`: aww.. how sweet.. you come crying to me when your broken.. now run along.. walk it off [20:36] Slart: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:36] D3RGPS31: Let me just check whether it is listed as a mouse device [20:36] noobuntu: it's the only difference, afaik [20:36] oh dang, that's a real pain to get powernow fixed in that way [20:36] Pulseaudio: i'll do it from synaptic this time. before, i tried the upgrade via the command line, where i'm less confident...

[20:40] jamiejackson: probably, I'm not sure myself. I'm kinda afraid of the CLI and I try to avoid it at every chance [20:40] UsuarioDoBrasil: Or should I say, what do you need help with in Wubi?

[20:44] I have an AT&T (sierra wireless) 3G card -- i have it configured and everything works great with pppd. the only thing is that its not recognized and doesnt create the device nodes if I have the card already inserted when I boot up. I have to pop it out and pop it back in... I'd like to submit a bug report but I don't know what is the appropriate project to submit the bug under.. anyone have any info? [20:44] undecim: great! I went through the installer and I chose to not install the boot loader at the last step [20:44] its very reproducable, it happens every time i boot up my laptop [20:44] okay, do you have a live cd of some sort?

[20:48] noobuntu: was that the livecd? some find that they need the alternative cd to get ubuntu to install on their computers because of hardware configurations. but the alternative cd doesn't let you try out ubuntu first before installing. no i think if install fails you start over making sure cd is not defective or if it was a bad burn [20:48] undecim: sure, no problem. thanks. [20:48] hello, [20:48] DexterF: Not easily.... the nVidia drivers give me much better performance and were much easier to set up, especially using nvidia-settings (should be installable through apt-get repos.)

[21:08] And i have one more problem,when i try to install Ubuntu from my CD without booting,my OS,vista says that when the setup is creating and "Image" it says it has stopped working,and that it will close it.

I just installed ubuntu on my 64-bit system and installed several packages, but now its missing some default packages (gnome-panel, etc.) and When I try to apt-get those packages, it says that the packages cannot be found (or dependencies of the packages cannot be found). [21:09] STSX: Thanks anyway [21:09] rDoo: You mean there aren't many settings in xorg.conf? [21:09] drak1: lspci should tell you which VGA card you have. If it's nvidia, install their proprietary driver. [21:09] What is the ~/trash directory? [21:09] hi, when i stop a task pressing control-z (in the terminal), how can i resume it?

[21:09] rDoo: Make sure you type it correctly [21:10] any ideas on how to solve this and get gnome back [21:10] icqnumber: nothing ... it stands there (About 16 minutes reamining) [21:10] InvaderAmoto, thanks for the menu manager, I've forgot it !! [21:10] How can I boot from a USB device using grub? is it t all possible? [21:10] eyes`only, can i use only a bcc field with an empty 'to:' ? [21:10] rDoo: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [21:10] STSX: I don't know the name of the GUI, but you can manually edit the list at /etc/apt/sources.list [21:10] steph33560: oh well for nvidia drivers i just install them from hardware drivers in administration [21:10] Goop: i see Section "Monitor" [21:10] Identifier "Configured Monitor" [21:10] EndSection === mnem0 is now known as mnemo [21:10] nico8481: yes, in that case, the to: field will show "To: " or something like that [21:10] STSX: gksu --desktop /usr/share/applications/software-properties.desktop /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk <-- exactly what alacarte says about it [21:11] drak1: Go down the the Screen section [21:11] How do I forcefully remove something from Trash? There is a file which refuses to be removed in my Trash bin/ [21:11] eyes`only, thx [21:11] undecim: have you tried "aptitude reinstall ubuntu-desktop" ? [21:11] any ideas on why my gnome-panel would suddenly quit loading on startup or how I could troubleshoot it [21:11] !install > mboman: [21:11] nico8481: watch it with that, it's a good way to get blacklisted on spam servers [21:11] Goop: just "default screen" "configured monitor" and such, no resolutions or modelines [21:11] Goop: what should i do at "screen" === icqnumber_ is now known as icqnumber [21:11] fde: Thanks [21:12] ghostz: better ask in gnome channel ;) [21:12] eyes`only, ah :-/ [21:12] noobuntu: when you try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade or sudo apt-get update synaptic and update manager must be closed [21:12] noobuntu, thanks [21:12] InvaderAmoto, behaviour of "alacarte" is strange [21:12] How do I forcefully remove a file from my trash? [21:12] Priest: login as root and try deleting it [21:12] rDoo: I'll help in a minute [21:12] Priest: you could remove it as root user. using root user is dangerous as you can do litterally whatever you want to your computer, which could include screwing things up. just type gksu nautilus in terminal [21:12] eyes`only, well i'll put myself in "to:" then :) === b0ha is now known as b00ha [21:12] legend2440: affirmative, will close it now, or try at least [21:12] InvaderAmoto, checkboxes uncheck themselves after cheking it... [21:12] drak1: What is there in the screen section? [21:12] steph33560: How so? [21:12] izm99: Well.. I just tried that, and this is an interesting message I get... "ubuntu-desktop is not currently installed, so it will not be reinstalled." [21:13] Priest: go to ~/.local/share/Trash/ ... in files or info ... sudo rm whatever is in there [21:13] Does/has anyone here used apt-proxy? [21:13] Amaranth, i've launched "alacarte" from a terminal [21:13] gah... I'm not in the sudoers file... had to add a user by hand afterwards since the installation went wrong [21:13] hello [21:13] Priest: i don't understand the problem. you want to delete the file? [21:13] steph33560: ya thats a bug i think. it happens to me, on the side bar you have to enable things within the other things before checking them (if that makes sense to you) [21:13] Hello. [21:13] undecim: what does aptitude install ubuntu-desktop say? [21:13] izm99: yes [21:13] legend2440: update manager has no button close and its not responsive. should i just "kill" it? === matthew__ is now known as Talcite [21:13] So I guess I have no other option but to boot in to rescue mode.... again... *sigh* [21:13] nico8481: You know all that spam you get that your name/address isn't in the To: field? This is how you get them. Someone emails to a huge group in the BCC: and then puts something weird in the To: field. Spam analysis engines flag that stuff [21:13] rDoo: i got "Trident Microsystems Cyberblade/XP (rev 63)" for VGA controller [21:13] hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my apache setup [21:13] steph33560: and? [21:13] Amaranth, I click on a un checked checkbox, to enable it then it unchecks itself 1 second later [21:13] noobuntu: yes [21:13] I keep getting 403 forbiddens [21:14] me___: Sounds to me like you would be better off just doing a complete reinstall and try to get things right so you don't have to manually fix everything. :) [21:14] steph33560: You can't make an empty menu show. [21:14] izm99: http://pastebin.com/m169efac8 [21:14] well I get it for sites are are symlinked to /var/www [21:14] I'm having a SMALL problem or two with my fresh install. [21:14] Priest: do you have the Trash applet? right click, empty trash. Or in Nautilus, if you open the trash folder, File -> empty trash [21:14] Goop: Section "Screen" [21:14] Identifier "Default Screen" [21:14] Monitor "Configured Monitor" [21:14] Device "Configured Video Device" [21:14] EndSection [21:14] drak1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:14] steph33560: You also can't make it show things only users with sudo access can use in the Administration menu [21:14] Amaranth: sure you can... [21:14] steph33560: what are u trying to enable? [21:14] me__: What happened that things are so messed up? [21:14] eyes`only, ah ok so it's the huge bcc list that gets them flagged as spam, not the fact that the "to:" is empty (?) [21:14] How do I disable suspend entirely? [21:14] When i type in the same line as (initramfs) it says /bin/sh not found ,should i download Ubuntu Again? [21:14] fde: No, you really can't [21:15] Amaranth, i must check but i think i'm in the sudoers list [21:15] InvaderAmoto, login screen for exampel [21:15] Amaranth: Why you'd want to is beyond me... but go to alacarte > click Applications > check "Other" for instance... it'll be there with nothing in it. [21:15] nico8481: combination of both. each has a certain 'weight' and if the sum of the weight is too high... it equals spam. [21:15] someone suggested sites_available, but is it possible to use virtual hosts in the same domain i.e. localhost, but have a different DocumentRoot? [21:15] izm99: No, it was not letting me delete it from trash. I got it now. Had to sudo -i, cd to ~/trash, rm -r, done. [21:15] steph33560: But are you in the 'admin' group? [21:15] fde: Trust me, that doesn't work. I wrote alacarte [21:15] how can I get like a regular Mozilla Firefox, I was trying to listen to Yahoo! Launchcast radio but it says it don't support the browser at this time...Any ideas? [21:15] Amaranth, true, i've lost the group adm [21:16] How do I disable suspend entirely? [21:16] eyes`only, hmm... /me learning new stuff everyday :) [21:16] Folks, this should be real simple: I have a button on my screen marked "terminal." When I click on it, I get a blank, white window. What's going on? [21:16] matthew__: Have you tried spoofing as IE or something? [21:16] drak1: Try this code in the Terminal [21:16] Amaranth, well, my user is not a its member anymore [21:16] Priest: Ok. Somehow it had root ownership. You probably could have also chown yourusername the_file and then tried. [21:16] drak1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [21:16] Q: is there any channel where I can ask questions about kernel and modules ? [21:16] steph33560: The menu doesn't parse the sudoers file, it just checks to see if you are in the 'admin' group [21:16] nico8481: spam engines use a huge number of checks... huge bcc lists, huge to lists, server IP range not same as sender's, etc. Hold on I'll find you a reference [21:16] drak1: Close the file first, though [21:16] woddf2: how can I do that? [21:17] matthew__: you can likely fool it with the user agent switcher extension at addons.mozilla.org [21:17] Amaranth, sudo usermod -a adm ? correct syntax ?? [21:17] how to make desktop cube ? [21:17] matthew__: you can also install firefox2 [21:17] can i dual boot vista with ubuntu? [21:17] matthew__: Try getting a UserAgent spoofing extension. [21:17] Uplink: yes [21:17] prabakaran: do you have your graphics cards drivers enabled? [21:17] woddf2: forgive me im new to linux, how do i go about doing this? [21:17] matthew__: ...go about doing what? [21:17] nico8481: http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_2_x.html [21:18] !install > Uplink [21:18] Goop: it's been asking me about keyboard [21:18] spamassassin is one of the best spam filters ever IMO [21:18] woddf2: getting a user agent spoofing extension, I dunno what u mean [21:18] Niksoni: I don't see your problem, can you repeat it? [21:18] matthew__: I am looking for one now. [21:18] drak1: What about it? [21:18] Amaranth, InvaderAmoto thanks [21:18] Matthew__: search "User Agent Switcher" on google, the first link should be FireFox extension [21:18] wow [21:18] I must restart X11 to see it's ok :) [21:18] Anybody? [21:18] steph33560: np [21:18] yes . wen i clicked ctrl+alt n pagedown key my desktop cube goes flat [21:18] Matthew__: firefox rules >.> [21:18] steph33560: Did the menu items show up again? [21:18] matthew__: I found one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 [21:18] I have ubuntu installed already... i just wanna dual boot it with vista... but i know vista might do something with the MBR [21:18] Aragon, [21:19] eyes`only, indeed that's quite a checklist :p [21:19] HELLO hello (hello) [21:19] prabakaran: go to add remove and install ccsm [21:19] Any unanswered problems? [21:19] Amaranth, I restart X11 and I go back here ;) [21:19] steph33560: I thought it was the 'admin' group, adm is the old one (from like pre-dapper times) [21:19] matthew__: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=user+agent&cat=all [21:19] nico8481: yup. updated often to thwart new spammer tricks too [21:19] steph33560: sup? [21:19] Do I count, arch? [21:19] i hav ccsm [21:19] zonkamatic: Yep. [21:19] zonkamatic: you may need to repeat your question [21:19] Then, yes. [21:19] prabakaran: then in preferences on the menu you'll see it. go into it and enable desktop cube [21:19] zonkamatic: Problem? [21:19] i clicked d effects but still its not workin [21:19] Goop: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" only let me reconfig keyboard.. didn't do anything to video [21:20] also i dont know d keybidings [21:20] prabakaran: and you go left and right with alt+ctrl+clickanddrag [21:20] drak1: Ah, let me look some more then [21:20] Amaranth, well seen ! the admin group exist also ! [21:20] prabakaran: or alt+ctrl+left or right [21:20] I have a fresh install, iso dl'ed and burned last night, freshly updated. When I try to run a terminal, I get a blank, white window. What's going on? [21:20] Sorry, we are unable to support this browser at this time. [21:20] How do I use that to help me load launchcast radio? [21:21] Uplink: i guess u can intall vista, but u will not be able to boot ubuntu, to soleve this u will need to install grub [21:21] I have this one question,that i don't know if it really is a problem.Should the screen for Live CD booting(like in older version) be the same so i can know if im encountering a problem? (Like press enter to boot as Live CD) [21:21] zonkamatic: Hm. No cursor or anything? [21:21] yes d cube rotates in d full screen i cant make d cube small size [21:21] Amaranth, InvaderAmoto Aragon restarting X11 [21:21] !grub | Uplink [21:21] Uplink: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [21:21] Not even a status line at the top. [21:21] zonkamatic: You decided you knew more than the system and installed the nvidia driver manually. :P [21:21] matthew__: Launchcast won't work at all on Linux... try last.fm ... much better anyways. [21:21] drak1: Are you using a 3rd-party driver for your graphics card, such as the ATi or nVidia drivers? [21:21] It's a pain to kill the process. [21:21] Amaranth: Seriously? [21:21] arch: Seriously what? [21:21] Uplink: solve* [21:21] nico8481: as you can see, FROM_BLANK_NAME is in there :) [21:22] matthew__: It uses activex, that's why launchcast won't work... but they make you pay, last.fm doesn't. [21:22] Nope. Went with the straight install. I DO have an Apollo Bloody Monster (Nvidia Geforce 4), though. [21:22] Amaranth: He manually installed the nvidia drivers? XD [21:22] prabakaran: what do mean d cube? and d full screen? and you want it to zoom out more when it rotates? [21:22] Goop: nope. it's "Trident Microsystems Cyberblade/XP (rev 63)" integrated on the laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600). noone else who has this laptop seems to have the same problem though [21:22] zonkamatic: How did you install the nvidia driver? [21:22] i get launchcast plus with my DSL thats why I was trying to use it [21:23] I didn't. I went with the stuff that came on the CD. [21:23] zonkamatic: 32 bit or 64 bit? [21:23] OS or video driver? [21:23] zonkamatic: Then you don't have the driver for your video card installed. [21:23] zonkamatic: OS [21:23] prabakaran: i'll brb if you still need help [21:23] 64. [21:23] zonkamatic: System->Administration->Hardware Drivers [21:23] fde: i can't get the Last.fm thingy on Banshee to work [21:23] ok inveder [21:23] eyes`only, yup, a search on "bcc" finds nothing though, i guess it's called something else [21:23] fde: wont let me click it [21:23] thanks [21:23] drak1: Assuming you're running Hardy Herron, go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers [21:23] matthew__: you cuold run windows in a virtual machine and get it that way [21:23] *could [21:24] atlef: how do i get a windows virtual machine? [21:24] drak1: Does it say anything? [21:24] matthew__: yeah... try lastexit or via rhythmbox/amarok ... banshee doesn't do it, just does audioscrobbling ... [21:24] Not "sudo apt-get install nvidia-drivers" and "sudo apt-get install invidia-config" etc. [21:24] nico8481: it might be part of HEAD_LONG or something [21:24] Goop: tried that. it only says things about the wifi card [21:24] Amaranth: If he didn't have the correct graphics card driver installed, the computer would not have started up X, so his desktop system wouldn't work. [21:24] drak1: Hmm [21:24] !virtualbox [21:24] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [21:24] (Just did that stuff with freespire--having a field day since I got a new CD burner.) [21:24] drak1: I'm starting to hate your PC ;) [21:24] !virtualbox > matthew__ [21:24] arch: Not true, he has the 'nv' driver. [21:24] drak1: brb [21:25] I'll check the video drivers. [21:25] Thanks. I'll be back. [21:25] Goop: haha.. well it's an old laptop so i thought i could run ubuntu on it better than winxp [21:25] Amaranth: Well, I've had an ATi driver, that's where I had my problem. [21:26] Does/has anyone here used apt-proxy? [21:26] arch: We're very good at making sure X always starts :) [21:26] okay I'll just get lastexit and stuff...Anyone know a very good graphical game I can install from Synaptic ? [21:26] zonkamatic: Sadly, the only thing I believe you can do at this time is reformat. Or was this as soon as you reformatted? [21:26] drak1: Back [21:26] Hey can anyone help me with getting a keyboard layout file running? [21:26] drak1: What is the problem again? [21:26] fde: do u know any games in synaptic with great graphics I can try? === jerryb is now known as NeedtoKnow [21:26] Any other problems? [21:26] arch: Why would you ever need to reformat === NeedtoKnow is now known as TellMe [21:27] arch: This isn't even a serious issue [21:27] eyes`only, well i guess a 23 addresses Bcc list with a non-empty To is OK, don't you think? [21:27] Amaranth, InvaderAmoto Aragon back [21:27] matthew__: alienarena, nexuiz .... there's a ton [21:27] Hello... I've got a Lithium Ion battery in my laptop, and Ubuntu says that its capacity is 52%. Is there any way to increase that? === TellMe is now known as whoa [21:27] Amaranth: That was the only thing I could do when I decided to go to an idiot streak and manually install my vid driver. [21:27] steph33560: menu items there now? [21:27] I'm trying to get something working called "Mirrorboard" working that lets you type with one hand. [21:27] arch: That is the most obvious route, I guess [21:27] Amaranth, yes but ... .strange X11 behaviour [21:27] fde: list off a bunch that u know, I'll get them all I want to have a variety :) let them download while I do some things around the house here..;) [21:27] arch: He says he didn't install the driver at all === whoa is now known as Voltaplein [21:27] drak1: OK, so you're not using a third-party driver and your config file doesn't seem to show any signs of configuration :S [21:27] Also, whenever I suspend or hibernate Ubuntu on my laptop, it works fine, but when it wakes up it beeps for a few seconds and then claims that suspend/hibernate failed. [21:27] Amaranth, look likes compiz failed [21:27] drak1: have a look at http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php/product/3768/sl/t [21:28] What is the "wmaster0" interface that I see on my Ubuntu Hardy machine? [21:28] drak1: Let's see what we can do ;) [21:28] Anyone? [21:28] steph33560: Crap, that'd be my bug :/ [21:28] Amaranth: driver issue with VGA Controller "Trident Microsystems Cyberblade/XP (rev 63)". system thinks the monitor is 11" instead of 15" and so resolution is capped at 800x600 [21:28] Amaranth, gdm really slow, need to stop then start [21:28] steph33560: Anymore details? [21:28] How do I get rid of dependencies I no longer use? [21:28] invader ? [21:28] matthew__: I don't have them all memorized... sorry... those are just the ones I play myself... along with glest [21:28] drak1: Oh [21:28] mib_ih7x99: Hmm. I'm not very sure...

There's a site where you can run your mail through a spamassassin filter, lemme see if I can find it [21:28] Ardorin: deborphan [21:29] Amaranth: Well, that's a prob ill have to leave to you, Am. [21:29] thanks!!!!1 [21:29] atlef: deborphan isn't really the same... just does libs by default. [21:29] mib_ih7x99: Hold on, I need to find a tool I used to find sys specs... [21:29] fde: thank you..if anyone else knows please type my name and list some good games I try [21:29] Amaranth, blank screen, mouse clicks with late answers, switch to console tty<7 verrry slow (must wait 2/5 econds) [21:29] fde: oh, my bad [21:29] arch: I have a pretty strange configuration. Lifebook P1510D (tablet PC with passive digitizer), and some bits and pieces work and some don't.

[21:30] Amaranth, I thouht compiz immediately [21:30] blech it's only windows. http://www.mailingcheck.com/download-spam-checker/ [21:30] ubot3: seems the right thing for me. thanks [21:30] mib_ih7x99: Suspend/hibernate problems are entirely dependent on your particular hardware configuration and can be tough to troubleshoot--you're best bet may be to search ubuntuforums.org for your particular setup [21:30] atlef: Personally, I just use aptitude, it'll get rid of that stuff automatically... replaced debfoster/deborphan a while ago. [21:30] STSX: Well, suspend/hibernate work fine OOTB, but when I resume I get an error claiming that they failed. [21:30] Amaranth, I use NVIdia's owners drivers [21:31] arch: The touchscreen, screen rotation, and hardware buttons under the screen. I managed to figure out how to get the touchscreen working with a perl "driver", and I installed a couple of packages from fjbtndrv.sf.net that sort of let the screen rotation work [21:31] prabakaran: i'm back [21:31] steph33560: is this a GeForce 6xxx laptop? [21:31] wb [21:31] eyes`only, the content would be "enl4rge y0uR p3N15 anD heal 4LL yoUr !lln3ss3z wiT my M1racul0US p!llz (4ND get a fr3e w4tch)" [21:31] ;-) [21:31] i cant make d cube desktop [21:31] Amaranth, No, a workstation ... but with a Geforce 8800GTX [21:31] steph33560: just disable compiz then [21:31] nico8481: woohoo free watch... where do i sign up?! [21:31] nico8481: Please save that for #ubuntu-offtopic [21:32] lol [21:32] steph33560: I don't care to figure out nvidia problems today [21:32] how safe is it to always applying pre-release packages? [21:32] prabakaran: what do u mean by d cube desktop? [21:32] Amaranth, as me ;) [21:32] Amaranth, IK tried to install open drivers, but I failed [21:32] prabakaran: whats the d for? [21:32] yao_ziyuan: They've only killed machines twice in 4 years [21:32] InvaderAmoto: He means the wokspaces on a cube [21:32] Thanks all [21:32] Amaranth, this case might boost me :P [21:32] mib_ih7x99: Usually Ubuntu, even Hardy Heron, does not support screen rotations and excess buttons. [21:32] See ya FDE [21:32] arch: This laptop uses one of those pointer buttons (between G, H, and B keys) and I can't push-click or scroll, but moving and the left/right mouse buttons work. Like I said--half this thing works and half doesn't. [21:32] yao_ziyuan: depends how you go about it... 'sudo aptitude safe-upgrade' won't get you in much trouble... not recommended though either way. [21:33] InvaderAmoto: Most likely a spelling mistake or short for 'desktop' [21:33] Axel: oh. i still dont get why you would say d [21:33] does anyone here have good advice on contrast ratio for a monitor? I am looking at 2 different ones, one is 1000:1 and the other is 2500:1 but about 25 dollars more. [21:33] Axel: oh === nick_ is now known as nickthorley [21:33] it means d desktop will be in d meddle of ur pc screen n u can rotate vertical n horizantal way [21:33] mib_ih7x99: Then again, if you snoop around in Keyboard Shortcuts and find the "scroll up/down" button configs, you can set those to the scroll. I'm not sure if I really understand your question. [21:33] prabakaran: so you have desktop cube and rotate cube enabled in ccsm? [21:34] arch: I found modules that make it work--not perfect, but it works tolerably. xrandr rotates the screen, but 3D (Compiz) + xrandr = crash. [21:34] hi all - what is the best ubuntu program to convert mp4 files into mp3 [21:34] !u | prabakaran [21:34] prabakaran: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. [21:34] hi [21:34] prabakaran: or it might just be called rotate, i dont remember [21:34] do you recommend dual booting ubuntu with vista ? are there any conflicts? the laptop is very fast. [21:34] i want to visit a website that uses realplayer to listen to audio clips [21:34] then, how safe is it to apply all pre-release packages just for once? [21:34] yes i clicked d both n other some effects also [21:34] yaris12346789: Should work fine [21:34] the file extention is .ram [21:34] ok [21:34] i installed xubuntu on my old computer very impressed. im just gonna install it on laptop as well :) [21:35] smax: Install Helix [21:35] mib_ih7x99: This computer is obviously 32-bit, correct? [21:35] me really itchy [21:35] prabakaran: then holding down alt and ctrl then clicking and dragging should make the cube rotate [21:35] yaris12346789: Just make sure you install Ubuntu after Vista, not the other way around. :) [21:35] hahah y es [21:35] arch: Yes. Intel Pentium M, designed for XP Tablet Edition, with 512MB RAM and a 1.2GHz CPU. [21:35] smax: Like Axel said, install Helix, or use mplayer [21:35] i run firefox. [21:35] arch: Not the fastest machine, but it's not bad for an ultraportable. (8" screen) [21:35] is this a firefox plugin [21:35] mib_ih7x99: Good that you know your hardware specs. [21:36] I'm running Hardy and i've gone through the entire faq, but still cannot get my Broadcom WIFI card to work with UBUNTU. Any suggestions? Its a x64 release and my card is BCM4311 [21:36] smax: Helix is your best bet unless you're using a 64-bit machine [21:36] smax: mplayer plugin plays realmedia just fine [21:36] kk thanx folks [21:36] back [21:36] shit my fire fox got all kinds of fucked [21:36] !language | onthefence928 [21:36] onthefence928: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [21:36] arch: Well, there are all these stickers on this computer... Intel Inside! :-) [21:36] wait a min [21:37] mib_ih7x99: XD, well, i'm still looking for the Hardware Spec program... [21:37] for some reason my firefox3 that came preinstalled on my ubuntu is all messed up, I lost all my bookmarks and my add-ons don't work [21:37] Anyone here use the `onboard' onscreen keyboard? I'd like it to dock at the bottom of the screen so maximize works, but I don't know if that's possible. [21:37] and reinstalling didn't work [21:37] You know where Xorg.conf is, right, mib_ih7x99? [21:37] onthefence928: it's firefox 3 beta?.. or even more messed up than that? [21:37] arch: Well, I know most of the specs about this machine, and if you need anything else I can dig it up for you [21:38] back [21:38] yes it rotates . thanks invader [21:38] can anybody say to me how can i see ubuntu in 2 monitores? [21:38] it's firefox3 that came with my hardy heron installing [21:38] arch: Xorg? Tell me about it. I've had to dpkg-reconfigure the xserver about 15 times :-) [21:38] !dual | freethinker [21:38] !fixres | drak1 [21:38] Factoid dual not found [21:38] mib_ih7x99:If you can, use the pastebin at paste.ubuntu.com and paste your Xorg.conf in there. [21:38] I used WUBI by the way [21:38] Noxide: If you do a "lsmod | grep bcm" does it return anything? [21:38] dont understand [21:38] !twinview | freethinker [21:38] freethinker: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [21:38] yes i have go there [21:38] !dualhead | freethinker [21:38] freethinker: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [21:38] but stiil i could not do [21:39] mib_ih7x99: Ah, lol. I've also had some trouble installing a driver for a Manhattan graphics tablet, I haven't solved it so far. [21:39] its on console? [21:39] Amaranth: sorry I had to reboot after running sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart [21:39] arch: My xorg.conf file was autogenerated, and there isn't anything special in there. What were you looking for? [21:39] freethinker: I can't really help you beyond that.. I only use one monitor myself [21:39] prabakaran: np [21:39] STSX: Nope :( [21:39] arch: Is it a passive or active digitizer? (passive = touchscreen, active works only with a pen, but the pen can move the mouse as well as click and erase) [21:39] mib_ih7x99: Really, I'm not sure. I'm not exactly a professional of Ubuntu, but I can find my way around :( [21:39] Noxide: OK how about "lsmod | grep b43"? [21:40] and how to make fire effect wen i close d window ? === Axel is now known as Marluxia [21:40] Slart: it came with my hardy heron install, I used wubi [21:40] STSX: yes, it returns a bunch of stuff. want me to put it in here? [21:40] arch: Same here. I've been using *nix machines for a few years, and I can figure most things out--the more complicated stuff, though, I need help with :-) [21:40] prabakaran: I heard a blow torch works really well for that. :) [21:40] !compiz > prabakaran: [21:40] Any idea why apt-get dist-upgrade makes me drop language packages? [21:41] Noxide: Please pastebin it: paste.ubuntu.com [21:41] i dont know d keybidings for tat [21:41] mib_ih7x99: Well, if I can't find it out, there is one person who can solve just about everything. His name is Jack_Sparrow, and he's usually on during weekdays. [21:41] heh k, give me a min. let me connect my laptop via ethernet so i dont have to type it all :-P [21:41] prabakaran: i think thats in the plugin called animation [21:41] arch: Do you know anything about xorg modules? There's an actual driver for my touchscreen at conan.de, but I can't make it work--I'm assuming that Ubuntu's Xorg is too new or something. [21:42] mib_ih7x99: Which module is this? [21:42] prabakaran: you can find out the key bindings for plugins by going into the settings for the plugin. thats how i know them. [21:42] whose got two video cards and is able to use them at same time? may I copy your xorg.conf file so I can make mine work too? [21:42] arch: Thanks--I'll try and drop by sometime during the week then. The module is at http://conan.de/touchscreen/p-series.html [21:42] i got a old cheap matrox millineum [21:42] thanks guys for the help ! [21:42] !battery [21:42] Factoid battery not found [21:42] brb [21:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16271/ [21:42] ubot3`: ACPI [21:42] Factoid acpi not found [21:42] bd time ççççççççççççççççç [21:43] STSX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16271/ [21:43] sorry my kitten just type "enter" [21:43] time to go to bed, bye ! [21:43] mib_ih7x99: What went wrong in this module? [21:44] Has anyone here used apt-proxy? [21:44] not working [21:44] ok i'm trying to roll back to the 2.6.22-14 kernel to fix a sata/ide driver issue problem with the new kernel, but when i boot from the old kernel, X doesn't start, i get lines in my Xorg.log of (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA graphics device... suggestions? [21:44] it invokes mplayer. but the file is not playing [21:44] mib_ih7x99: And yes, I've had some experience with Xorg mods. [21:44] when i install aptana jaxer and configure it, and lauch it : [21:44] /opt/AptanaJaxer/Apache22/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [21:44] arch: Well, I installed setserial, and put the referenced command in bootmisc.sh (along with a chmod a+rwx /dev/ttyS0 to let the perl "driver" work) [21:44] :( [21:44] somebody know this error ? [21:44] mDemocritus, you might not have the driver in the old kernel modules that xorg is set to use [21:45] arch: I dumped the driver in the appropriate directory (I forget the exact path, but kbd_drv.so and the other drivers were in there) [21:45] mib_ih7x99: Wow, you almost know more than I do...\ [21:45] Noxide: Well that's a good sign--the b43 module is the latest module in Hardy for Broadcom chipsets, and I think it's supposed to work with the BCM4311. So if you do "ifconfig" and "iwconfig" what do you get? And what happens when you try and connect thru System > Admin > Network? [21:45] and helix is not in the repos [21:45] Kitu, you are missing a shared libary. make sure you have the package for the libary installed. [21:45] Ashfire908: so i have to use a different xorg.conf? would the upgrade to hardy have wiped the old one, or made a backup? [21:46] ok helix-player [21:46] Noxide: ...and it looks like b43 is loaded according to lsmod. [21:46] arch: I tried ~15 different variations on my xorg.conf file, and all I could do was completely disable my mouse. I had to hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and edit xorg.conf from there (and you have no idea how many times I had to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg :-)) [21:46] Ashfire908, i have libexpat but the ubuntu package don't contain libexpat.so.0 [21:46] mDemocritus, you have to check that it's using the correct module. [21:46] i couldnt find d keybidings [21:46] juste libexpat.so.1 and libexpat.so.1... [21:46] -e [21:46] mDemocritus, sorry, Ive actually never done an upgrade. [21:46] prabakaran: so you want it so that when you close a window it bursts into flames? [21:46] yes [21:47] Kitu, is what your using designed to be on ubuntu [21:47] Ashfire908: np that gets me started [21:47] arch: The instructions reference /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input; a `locate kbd_drv' found the appropriate directory [21:47] STSX: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16272/ [21:47] prabakaran: ok, give me a second [21:47] hey does anybody know why my firefox3 lost all of it's settings and broke it's bookmarks and add-ons? [21:47] mib_ih7x99: Okay, I'm clueless as to how to fix this kind of problem. This appears to be a graphics problem, and I've worked with Amaranth to pretty much solve one. [21:47] arch: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input (/usr/X11R6/lib doesn't exist) [21:47] ok [21:47] How would I go about getting to irc.what.cd? [21:47] Ashfire908, why i use ubuntu (sorry i understand only basic english) [21:47] STSX: When I try and connect it just sits there and eventually DOES NOT connect. Takes forever for it to stop trying too. [21:47] mdemocritus: hardy has a new Xorg, changes are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XORGHardy [21:48] Ashfire908, normally it work on debian libexpat.so.0 [21:48] mib_ih7x99: Whoa whoa whoa! I remember that error when I was installing my graphics tablet... [21:48] onthefence929: i've had that problem before. i had to go to system monitor and force quit all open firefox's then whne i open it i have to choose restore. try that [21:48] startx loads xfce. how do i change the default to be something else (i am not usig gdm). [21:48] this library is in the debian package but not for ubuntu :( [21:48] mDemocritus: maybe u just need to reinstall the nvidia driver... [21:48] STSX: I've tried it with WEP/WPA and Unsecured networks, I have other boxes connected wirelessly so I assume its some setting or something wrong in ubuntu. [21:48] arch: Well, I'm probably going to have to settle for Sam Engstrom's perl driver--I've rigged it up in such a way that it works tolerably. [21:48] mib_ih7x99: Try mkdir /usr/x11r6/lib [21:48] Kitu, that was basic english. Is the program that you are trying to use designed to run on ubuntu? [21:48] Ashfire908, aptana jaxer [21:48] arch: At first I ran `mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input' and dumped the driver there; that didn't work. [21:49] mib_ih7x99: Clueless again :P [21:49] mDemocritus: this will update ur old kernel [21:49] Kitu, I don't know what that is. [21:49] arch: I'm not sure if the driver was even loaded or whether it's compatible with whatever X11 system Hardy uses. :-S [21:49] mib_ih7x99: The driver API/ABI has changed since we were using /usr/X11R6 for stuff so the driver will almost certainly not work [21:49] it is an AJAX IDE over eclipse [21:49] mib_ih7x99: Your logs probably show it failing to load the driver at all since there is an ABI mismatch [21:49] Amaranth: Ouch. [21:50] when using vim is there a way to delete an entire line at a time, or delete a selection - rather than holding down the delete key forever ? [21:50] stu: dd deletes a line [21:50] prabakaran: go to the settings for animations [21:50] ok n ? [21:50] aha thanks [21:50] stu: dw deletes a word [21:50] Noxide: Well, maybe try connecting manually: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "the_AP_name" and then maybe "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" [21:50] stu: d$ deletes to the end of the line [21:51] prabakaran: and uncheck everything except butn [21:51] cool thanks snap-l [21:51] prabakaran: i mean burn [21:51] NP [21:51] ok brb [21:51] InvaderAmoto: I tried that jusInvaderAmotony other ideas?t now, it doesn't work. I had also tried reinstalling via synaptic, a [21:51] STSX: Ok, one second, let me try those two commands. [21:51] icqnumber: it will update the old one? you're sure? [21:51] Noxide: For troubleshooting, try using the AP you know is unsecured. [21:51] Amaranth: Thanks. I'll try recompiling it (the sources are available). Aside from `xorg-dev', what packages will I need? [21:51] mib_ih7x99: No idea [21:51] mib_ih7x99: In that case, your functionality with the touchscreen is limited until someone, or if you feel like it, YOU, creates a driver for this touchscreen. I think. [21:51] where would i find out when the next kernel release will be? [21:52] mDemocritus: load it and then try to reinstall nvidia [21:52] Amaranth: The driver is at http://conan.de/touchscreen/p-series.html if you're curious. [21:52] InvaderAmoto: i meant: yeah I tried what you said, and it didn't work, I also reinstalled via synaptic, I didn't work either [21:52] mib_ih7x99: Wow, Amaranth makes me sound like a babbling monkey [21:52] icqnumber: load the old kernel and try reinstalling the nvidia driver? [21:52] mib_ih7x99: If you need more than what xorg-dev pulls in something is probably wrong though :) [21:52] Jack_Sparrow: Hey jack [21:52] mDemocritus: mine is 2.6.24-17-generic [21:52] arch: Well, I don't know how to write an actual driver, but if I can recompile this one I can try to make a .deb [21:52] onthefence929: did you try restarting the computer? i'm out of ideas though [21:53] STSX: When I type "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" it gives me a "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory" error. [21:53] Amaranth: Thanks. Let me download the source and see if I can compile it. Wish me luck :-) [21:53] mDemocritus: yep [21:53] mib_ih7x99 Well, you know more than me, I've just found out... ._. [21:53] InvaderAmoto: yeah I did [21:53] icqnumber: right... the 2.6.24-17 and -16 kernels won't allow me to mount my second hard drive... the 2.6.22-14 does [21:53] arch: Well, thanks for your help anyway! :-) [21:53] is there a way to change the sensitivity for a 'tap=click' in the touchpad? [21:53] mib_ih7x99: Yw. [21:53] im back [21:54] Noxide: When you tried connecting thru the "Network" GUI, did you make sure you only enabled "checked" the wireless adapter, and unchecked your ethernet? [21:54] icqnumber: from what i've been reading on bugzilla and all, it looks like an upstream kernel issue [21:54] Any other non-graphics related problems? [21:54] STSX: I think so, but let me try again. [21:54] choosebreakfast, problem? [21:55] On my new hardy install, the clock doesn't seem to keep synchronized. [21:55] Yes, I am new to IRC, I don't know anything about it, and I am trying to find a way to connect to a server, but I don't know how [21:55] Amaranth: This driver "should work for XFree 4.x and Xorg 6.8.x and higher." Last update was 09/06/07 (I'm assuming that's 9 June, but it's ambiguous). [21:55] ok prabakaran in the animation settings, uncheck all the random effects except burn [21:55] wen i close d window d fire effect not workin [21:55] puff: Your current time and your system time? [21:55] * chalcedony smiles [21:55] i did tat [21:55] it's supposed to be irc.what.cd [21:55] Amaranth: Do you think simply recompiling it will be enough, or do I need to actually change the source code? [21:55] I am curious, but what I tried was apparently wrong [21:56] arch: Both, AFAIK. What's "current time"? [21:56] prabakaran: then go to the effect settings tab and check the first check box: random animations for all events [21:56] i'm trying to find the mount point for my usb stick on hardy? [21:56] prabakaran: that will make the windows burn everytime they are opened or closed [21:56] arch: The time in your area. [21:56] brb [21:56] puff: The time in your area. [21:56] prabakaran Are you talking about paint fire on the screen or a diff fire effect? [21:56] arch: Both the shell command "date" and the clock in the taksbar show the same time, which is currently noon instead of 5pm. I have the time zone set to New York. [21:56] Lol i addressed a message myself [21:56] prabakaran: its possible to just make it so it does that when its closed but you'll have to ask someboady else about it [21:56] So... having some serious problem swith two boxes. I think the problem is with NFS> Random segfaults when streaming movies over NFS [21:57] Latest hardy. [21:57] choosebreakfast: should maybe try: /server irc.what.cd [21:57] Since two boxes are doing it, and it only happens when I'm doing NFS... it seems related. [21:57] arch: Yeah, my system time and the correct local wall clock time. [21:57] Jack_Sparrow: he wants it so that when a window closes it bursts into flames [21:57] Puff: How far off are they? [21:57] is there a way to change the sensitivity for a tap on the touchpad? [21:57] arch: 5 hours. [21:57] is there a way to make aterm stay on top if it is borderless [21:57] InvaderAmoto But that is not "Paint Fire on The Screen" if that is what he thinks [21:57] wer hat erfahrung mit starmoney und ubuntu unter wine [21:58] arch: Looks like it might bea time zone issue, but I do have the correct location selecte.d [21:58] Jack_Sparrow: i no. i told him its in animations [21:58] thank you [21:58] Bother. Both the README and NEWS files in this source package are 0 bytes. That's helpful... [21:58] k [21:58] STSX: How should I disable ethernet? I put it to roaming mode and unplugged the ethernet cable.

Has this been moving off to 5 hours gradually or instantly [21:58] Argh, my VMs under my system can't reach the internet. [21:58] arch: Instantly. [21:58] puff: Yep, timezone problem. [21:58] it works . thanks n 1 more doubt [21:58] I can ping the host computer from the guest, and vice versa, but forwarding seems to be broken.

[21:59] puff: If it completely drives you MAD having the wrong timezone but the right time, reformat. [21:59] glitsj16: Yes, I already did that. [21:59] arch: Wow, that's a little drastic :-) [22:00] Noxide: When you pull up the Network program, there should just be a checkbox next to their names when you pull up the Network program--just check the wireless one. [22:00] prabakaran: i'll brb. i gotta do something really quick [22:00] ok [22:00] arch: Do you know anything about Li-Ion batteries? [22:00] i have a problem with ubuntu [22:01] mib_ih7x99: So? I don't know how to solve stuff like this. I'm more comfortable answering beginner questions like, "How do I compile source" [22:01] can i ask it here ? [22:01] Anyone else having trouble with gnome printing? Firefox and Evolution won't print. OpenOffice prints fine. All KDE apps print fine.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:01] It does not appear to affect the date/time. [22:01] mib_ih7x99: God, your name is hard to type over and over... Not really. [22:01] STSX: See, it works very weird for me. Unless I manually set it up, it wont let me put the checkbox there. If I leave it on roaming it will be a "-" So I set up Ethernet to roaming and wireless to a "check" but it goes away everytime i close the window [22:01] does anyone know how to locate the mount point for my usb stick on hardy? [22:01] arch: Sorry--let me change it to something less unpleasant. (I'm on mibbit.com, a web IRC interface.) [22:01] Noxide: Kind of like the Userspace File System in the CCSM, right? [22:01] irc://irc.bitient.org/what.cd [22:01] arch: try typing the first couple letters of the nick and hitting tab [22:01] oi [22:02] ok.. so when i load ubuntu it doesnt fully load to the desktop..but stops at a msdos screan that says something with interframes.. or something like that..

[22:04] arch was that for me ? [22:04] arch: Sorry--mibbit barfed on me when I tried to change nicks. [22:04] Noxide: Don't use roaming mode--connect to a specific AP that is unsecured, and use DHCP for the addressing. [22:04] adi_: did you made something before the problem appeared? [22:04] chalcedony-> type mount [22:04] InvaderAmoto You back yet [22:04] simi i updated the system [22:04] didnt do anything manual [22:04] Ashfire908, sudo ln -s libexpat.so.1 libexpat.so.0 correct the problem [22:04] i'm back [22:04] STSX: I've tried to do that, but I cant choose "Unsecured" so I put in the WPA information, and that does not work. [22:04] chalcedony: Try /media [22:05] How do I get output to my TV? It's connected with a S-Video cable from my Nvidia card to a SCART input on the TV. [22:05] STSX: wlan0 IS listed in that file. [22:05] mib_ih7x99, go to Terminal, and type in "sudo apt-get install xchat". Follow the prompt and launch Xchat when you're done. Easier interface, I would guess. You can use your Ubuntu username default with it. [22:05] hello [22:05] wow mibbit kicks butt... like meebo for irc :D [22:05] prabakaran: you still need help? [22:05] Well, i gotta go. Peace, ppl [22:05] yes [22:05] adi_update , did a kerenel upgrade happen? or do you know what packages had been upfdated?
