I dont think I know how.. [00:49] gerardoj: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/desktopedition [00:49] Okay [00:49] well first of all, type "lsmod | grep nvidia" into a terminal and tell me if it prints anything back [00:50] ok I got that, but my question is more in the hardware side, I mean cause I can buy a desktop that will serve same as if I buy a real server right? [00:50] nothing [00:50] gerardoj: yes, if you have ethernet, HDD space, and a good processor and ram, yes. [00:50] how about "sudo modprobe nvidia"?

[00:53] http://gizmodo.com/373711/hp-media-vault-2100-linux-server-reviewed-one-kick+ass-little-penguin [00:53] I think you can use synaptic to do that, search for "linux-restricted-modules" and remove all of them [00:54] So Firefox 3 RC2 is already out and we're still using Beta 5. Does anyone know when RC2 will be in repos? [00:54] it will probably remove your nvidia drivers in the process. after it's done, tell it to install the nvidia drivers (nvidia-glx) and it should install the latest version of linux-restricted modules [00:54] gerardoj: i have used a Compaq net PC, with a 933Mhz processor, and 512Mb 333mhz ram. for my server for 2 years till i upgraded. it worked fine.

Perhaps rephrase/clarify the question. [01:53] i tried using console [01:53] but it gave me same error [01:53] i want to connect to a server and use graphical application [01:53] so i tried to run xterm [01:54] mshanks: there is a single package that contains alot, ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:54] and ssh rushin@ [01:54] rushin, in a terminal, 'ssh -X remote.machine.ip.orname' then run the app... [01:54] but when i connected to it...and try to run firefox..it said "Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display" [01:54] rushin, the -X is the impiorntant bit. [01:55] and doing that on a desktop too, I guess rushin [01:55] rushin: ok run ssh -Y you could use -X but I like -Y myself [01:55] I thought -Y was for local networks. :) but ive used both.

I was working on replacing grub, including the missing /boot/grub folder, I pretty much did this, and grub even comes up in the beginning, but for some reason, no matter what kernel I choose to boot, it says, cannot be found, or something along those lines. anyone have a clue whats going on? [02:37] all i wanted was to get virtualbox running [02:37] before when i tried installing windows it would freeze with 512mb [02:37] enabling the proper repos, and apt-get installing stuff.. is rather easy... [02:38] Hello all...when i put my Trash icon on the desktop and change the icon to the one i want it works but it doesnt change to the full icon when i put something in the trash.Does anyone know how to make this work? (I'm trying to use a MAC OS trash can empty/full icons.) [02:38] Mr_Bad_News, depends on what you are doing. VirtualBox has improved lately - where i use it more then vmware. but the next vmware releases - has some neat new features. [02:38] Badnews: go with vmware [02:38] its more versatile, virtual box is easier, but its worth it to install vmware [02:38] i was in ur position a few wks ago. [02:39] xborgy, is this known to work? [02:39] seaphor: i got a local brand Axioo its using SIS graphicscard and using SATA and i tried install Xubuntu but could read the harddisk the boot option was noapic acpi=off olddetect pnpdetect=off [02:39] i cant get vmware running [02:39] I tried virtual box and qemu to run XP from within Linux, and my opinion is virtualbox is better, faster and more stable to me [02:39] i did the patch [02:39] are u using hardy? === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [02:39] and it still does that thing where it says starting up and does nothing [02:39] no gutsy [02:39] ver irc.icq.com [02:39] bazhang_: it works with the default trash empty/full icons why wouldnt it work when you change them? [02:39] lexmark 1200 series printer is not on the list for ubuntu [02:39] oh wait, is this what happens: You click ur vmware icon [02:39] it says "Starting vmware" for a bit, then nothing? [02:40] what do i do backup the default trash icons...then replace with the mac ones? [02:40] yea WootOnLinux [02:40] think that would work? [02:40] anyone got a deluo usb gps device working under ubuntu without using wine? [02:40] hey [02:40] xborgy, not my question; do you know that replacing the icons will work? have you replaced the full trash icon as well? [02:40] josef, instead of the noapic did you try deleting quiet and splash and adding vga=771 to the kernel line? [02:40] Linux Newbe here [02:41] Mr_Bad_News: It was easy for me to solve that prob .. i simply uninstalled the package, and then i re installed it via synaptic === cary_jebus[UDCS| is now known as Cary_Jebus [02:41] bazhang_: i placed the trash icon on my desktop i changed the icon to the empty MAC OS Panther icon but i need to know how to change the full trash icon [02:41] Mr_Bad_News: worked just fine, just make sure u keep ur old settings [02:41] if there is anyone available to help with my grub problem, please let me know, I really dont want to have to reinstall, any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you know the answer or not? [02:43] Morgie, I meant your DSL.. [02:43] i think its 250$ or something [02:43] I downloaded a theme but when i install it i get a error [02:43] i got mine from a friend though [02:43] deeperror u see booths at the mall , they let u try it [02:43] Morgie, are you connecting the DSL directly to your hardy install or through a router? [02:43] brb [02:43] cowbud, i am on my laptop running 7.01 on it now [02:43] seaphor do i know the bootoption for to read SATA harddisks [02:43] WootOnLinux, i try to avoid the mall [02:44] deeperror :P well then [02:44] i am connected thru a cable modem, sorry [02:44] xborgy, trying to get more info to help you [02:44] Does ANYONE know if u can recieve an AIM offline message while using pidgin?? [02:44] Morgie, and is it directly connected to the ehternet device then? [02:44] WootOnLinux: I think so [02:44] Which would be the better choice for a small home network: ProFTP, PureFTP, WU FTP? looking to be able to let customers see pictures and share documents with friends [02:44] seaphor i mean do you know the boot option to read sata harddisk [02:44] WootOnLinux, that would seem to be a rather basic feature. I think its doable. [02:44] cowbud, not now, currently using the line for this compy [02:45] Morgie, but the other one is booted up? [02:45] bazhang_: if the default trash icons on the desktop can change from empty to full icons when its sopose too wouldnt you think you can change them icons? i mean for sure you could i mean. [02:45] Starnestommy: U are a pidgin user and u recieve offline msgs? [02:45] yea [02:45] WootOnLinux, i think i get them sometimes i'm hardly offline so not really sure ha [02:45] josef, does it not see your HDD? [02:45] Morgie, ok do you know how to open gnome-terminal so you get a command prompt? [02:45] oh yeah\ [02:45] i changed the icon but thats all you can do is change it to a empty or a full icon. [02:45] is packages.ubuntu.com down? [02:45] deeperror : really? wtf did i do somethign wrong on my computer? [02:45] what does ifconfig tell you? [02:45] WootOnLinux: I think so. Do you want me to try sending you one as a test? [02:45] Starnestommy: yes thatd be great!!! hold on let me pm u [02:46] josef, it sees your sata in gutsy, that part should be no different [02:46] now however i beleive i might just beable to find a Widget trashcan icon that would work for me.If there is one. [02:46] i have my terminal window open right now [02:46] hey is there any other irc chat rooms that specialize in ubuntu/grub help that I can go ask in? I know there are different ones for different countries, unfortunately, this is the only one I could connect to [02:46] Morgie, what happens when you type ifconfig? [02:47] either a Widget or Desklet. [02:47] seaphor ubuntu xubuntu and fedora doesnt see partition only on kubuntu gutsy i can install only with the option that i showed too you [02:47] it tells me all the info i should get [02:47] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=524965&page=2 xborgy [02:47] Morgie, you are going to have to provide a little bit more info if you want help not just the bare minimum [02:48] Cool, a reboot fixed it after I installed the new modules into the kernel :) [02:48] ok i forgot what it is to send the link for the codes [02:48] then add both options, the noapic and the vga=771, and in that order [02:48] I have wireless again, and now it does not cause a kernel panic when rubbing kismet :) [02:48] !pastebin [02:48] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[02:48] xborgy, yep he is [02:49] seaphor i will try it again thanks [02:49] SeaPhor: =) [02:49] awesome slyboots [02:49] slyboots, cool stuff [02:49] : [02:49] :) === codercotton|away is now known as codercotton [02:49] josef, just a shot,,, was the only thing that worked for me [02:49] 99% of solutions are typing your search terms into a search engine and reading the relevant ubuntuforums link [02:49] i have more than small iso files, is it possible to burn more than one into CD and choose from them when install ? [02:50] bazhang_: I am going to try that now will let you know just a sec. [02:50] hey guys, i'm having a slight problem that's emerged in the last firefox update [02:50] mohamed_: not easily [02:50] Morgie, how are you able to paste that? [02:50] firefox segfaults whenever it completes a download, any ideas how i can fix this? [02:50] seaphor its just a shot but who knows it can be helpfull too release the headache. and again thanks [02:50] bazhang_, some need help on that [02:50] thanks musikgoat , [02:51] high guys - any irssi users? [02:51] yes [02:51] willwh: I am one. WHy do you ask? [02:51] josef, plz let me know, if not here, on #SeaPhor [02:51] I am wondering about config for nickserv.pl [02:51] seaphor ok [02:51] i'm trying to convert .wav to .ogg with soundconverter. when i use "soundconverter -b" from the command line, it converts at 112 kbps, but when i use the interface, i get 192 kbps. does anyone know how to set the rate from the command line? [02:51] I haven't got it to work - assuming it's just my syntax [02:51] deeperror, I am happy to do the searching :) [02:51] Question: Ok, so i've used Ubuntu for a week now (all offline heh), and i love it. Aside from a few problems (all surrounding my mx revolution) its a great system. One question though, i was told not to install software by itself, in favor of the package manager if it exists in there; However, the package manager seems to update slow as tar! Why is this? And what if you _need_ new software? (eg: Blender 246 or FireFox3) [02:51] haha yea i do too [02:52] Leefmc: it shouldn't be slow? [02:52] hey guys, having a problem with ubuntu/grub, earlier I lost my /boot/grub directory, it has been replaced, as well as now when I boot up, it shows me the grub menu, but when I select the kernel I want (any of them), it gives me an error that it cannot find them/block error or something, any ideas? [02:52] Leefmc: mx revolution problems could be fixed with btnx [02:52] bazhang_, doin the search is okay but i wish peopledid *some* research themselves before asking [02:52] Leefmc: you could use a nearer repo..and if you _need_ new stuff, then by all means get it [02:52] musikgoat, Nope, but thats another story :) [02:52] Bodsda, then we would have nothing to do :) [02:53] fp2007: far-fetched possibility, but do you have an older (>=2yrs) motherboard with a hard drive bigger than 130GB? [02:53] Bodsda, what's the fun in that, lol [02:53] willwh, Well.. no? I mean, is there a reason for it being so slow? [02:53] bazhang_, heh,.,. im in a lazy mood ;~) [02:53] where's my BOOZE [02:53] how do you install boot screams === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:53] cowbud, offtopic [02:53] bazhang_, no shit [02:53] Cary_Jebus: you mean gnome login or usplash boot [02:53] Leefmc: it shoulnd't be slow - what is slow? the download? [02:54] anirudh0, Well i was specifically told it was best to use the manager.. and not knowing the reason for this, i figured i would find out why it was advised to _not_ install my own software [02:54] cowbud, watch the cursing [02:54] spiderskull: no I dont, the motherboard is older than 2years, but I only have a 60gb and a 30gb on my system, the ubuntu is on the 60gigger by itself [02:54] !ohmy | cowbud [02:54] cowbud: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [02:54] gnome [02:54] and Leefmc which repos are you using? [02:54] willwh, The update. FireFox RC1 hasbeen out for a couple weeks, Blender246 has been out for.. god knows how long [02:54] Leefmc: your own software does'nt update [02:54] willwh, Not sure, the default [02:54] gnome [02:54] Leefmc: that is down to the ubuntu release cycle [02:54] Cary_Jebus: there is a program called gtktwekui [02:54] anirudh0, Ah, and thats it? [02:54] fp2007: ah, nevermind -- I had an issue with GRUB earlier because my laptop motherboard only supported up to 137 GB, and /boot/grub was in the block beyond that [02:54] ok let me search it [02:54] Leefmc: if you want more up to date packages, I'd suggest another distro ;) [02:54] bazhang_, yeah, and you wouldn't get paid! oh, wait a minute,,, nvm.. let em search lol [02:55] if you don't want to wait for stable releases to be merged in [02:55] SeaPhor, :) [02:55] no matches :\ [02:55] bazhang_, off topic [02:55] Leefmc: may have security holes..but thats true for any ubuntu package as well [02:55] willwh, Wait.. so you're telling me ubuntu's package manager will always say FireFox Beta5? yeesh heh [02:55] willwh: aren't there different package repositories with more cutting edge software? [02:55] no, I didn't say that [02:55] you can use the Ibis repos [02:55] nore on gogle [02:55] cowbud, this is a support channel if you dont need support or your not going to helpothers please be quiet or leave [02:55] * Joeb454 needs sleep [02:55] that is the development kernel [02:55] Leefmc: you can allow for proposed updates [02:55] cowbud, this is support; do you have a support question-->if not then #ubuntu-offtopic might be nice [02:55] cowbud do you want the lo also? [02:55] indeed [02:55] is;nt rc1 out in repos? [02:55] spiderskull: do you think perhaps in my case reinstalling the kernels is the next step? the reason I ask is, from here (LiveCD), I have to mount the harddrive to a folder and go through that stuff to be able to install using apt-get or dpkg on the actual harddrive install [02:55] musikgoat, Pardon? [02:56] Morgie, nah jkust the eth* ones [02:56] go to system -> admin -> software sources [02:56] Bodsda, noticeI am helping someone [02:56] Leefmc: add hardy-proposed [02:56] Morgie, and I am a bit confused as to how you are pasting this if the system isn't connected [02:56] Leefmc: not recommended though [02:56] anirudh0, Why is it not recommended? [02:56] Leefmc: its worse than debian-unstable [02:56] Leefmc: the proposed are in testing stage [02:57] cowbud, then please stop the unnecessary posts [02:57] willwh: about nickserv.pl, I think it might be broken due to a recent change in NickServ and the other services on freenode. Someone in #irssi might have a fix for it [02:57] ah hah [02:57] Starnestommy: lovely - I'll check with them, thanks [02:57] cowbud i am re typing the printout [02:57] anirudh0, Well really, my only problem right now is with Blender246 and FireFox support heh [02:57] Leefmc: because the packages are not stable..have;nt been tested enough [02:57] Morgie, damn that is a lot of work, do you have an eth0? and if so does it have an ip? [02:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/17777/ [02:57] Leefmc: blender should be fine..they have their own repo iirc..add that [02:57] Bodsda, unnecessary it is a chat channel who is the overlord that deems things unneccsary [02:58] Morgie, looking now [02:58] i couldnt get DNS or roaming to work at all [02:58] Leefmc: and wait for ff..nothing much new from b5 anyway [02:58] anirudh0, What about firefox? Do they have their own? [02:58] anirudh0, IIRC i loved RC1 over B5 [02:58] anirudh0: i'd beg to differ on that... rc1 has a number of bug fixes [02:58] anirudh0, i loved it [02:58] Morgie, is that eth0? [02:58] is there any way to swich ubuntu to kbuntu without uninstalling it [02:58] yeah [02:58] anirudh0, Not to mention, it was annoying to have to "downgrade" heh [02:58] Leefmc: nope..but some people have compiled and put the rc in their personal repos..i would strongly advise waiting [02:58] leefmc, firefox rc2 is stable and cool [02:58] Cary_Jebus, install kubuntu-desktop [02:59] Cary_Jebus: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:59] Cary_Jebus: sudo apt-get install kubunth-desktop [02:59] musikgoat: nothing life changing :) [02:59] er, whoops [02:59] ignore me [02:59] cowbud, if you would like to continue this discussion then let me no and we'll move to #ubuntu-ops -- nad perhaps you should consider reading the !coc [02:59] dear god, didn't even know about FF RC2 hah. [02:59] sorry for being so newbish [02:59] Morgie, ok and when you connect your computer it just doesn't get an IP address at all or you just can't use the internet? [02:59] i just started linux [02:59] is there an apt command to get a list of all dependencies (recursively expanded)? [02:59] Bodsda, did you mean know or no? [02:59] fp2007: it depends on what error you're getting, check this page: http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm [02:59] and did you really just say coc? [02:59] !troll [02:59] Factoid troll not found [02:59] i didnt get an ip when i looked at my connection info [02:59] cowbud, know [03:00] too bad..this one is needed occasionally [03:00] anirudh0, Well let me ask this then. How long does it often take for software to move to the mainline repos? I mean.. will it be 3 months into FireFox3's final release, that ubuntu gets FireFox3? [03:00] cary@cary-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install kubunth-desktop [03:00] [sudo] password for cary: [03:00] Reading package lists... Done [03:00] Building dependency tree [03:00] Reading state information... Done [03:00] Cary_Jebus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:00] E: Couldn't find package kubunth-desktop [03:00] willwh, if you install kubuntu on top do you have the option to load either? and will settings/prefs be similar or do you get clean desktop? [03:00] Morgie, and again this is directly to your computer no router right? [03:00] Cary_Jebus: kubuntu-desktop [03:00] yes [03:00] Cary_Jebus: I meant sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:00] Leefmc: devs are busy right now..feature freeze for 8.10 is nearby..hence the delay [03:00] which is why I said "ignore me" [03:00] Does anyone know how to make GNOME Do actually open my Firefox bookmarks? It will show them when I start to type the name, but it won't actually open them in Firefox. [03:00] deeperror: you can load either at your login screen (you can choose the session) [03:01] Morgie, do you have any other computers to test, my guess is if you connect it and let it sit there for like 15 minutes you will then get an IP. I am guessing that the cable modem is being a badboy and only allowing certain mac addresses but hten it fails over after X amount of minutes [03:01] I personally don't like KDE, but whatever floats your boat :) [03:01] ty :) [03:01] anirudh0, I mean i'm not complaining, i just need to find my medium here. When i should just let the mainline repos be my guide, or when i should force my own. (Blender for example) [03:01] anirudh0, Ah nice [03:01] Leefmc: blender is a wonderful program ;) [03:01] spiderskull: thanks, I am going to read over all this now, hopefully I will find out what is wrong, I shouldve wrote down the error, it happens at boot and I have to reboot using a livecd [03:01] willwh: kde4 should change your opinion [03:01] wow the linux community is so friendly <3 [03:01] i dont think that is it, i am running the compy on the same connection as this computer [03:01] I have been teaching myself slowly the last few weeks :) [03:01] Cary_Jebus, give it time haha [03:02] :P [03:02] anirudh0: Feature freeze isn't until August, firefox should be all sorted out by 8.04.1, although I believe it was supposed to already be at that. [03:02] anirudh0, Also, i heard you should often install ubuntu fresh because it doesn't update that great. Do minor versions update fine? (8.04 to 8.10 for example?) [03:02] Leefmc: if you dont need something urgently..wait for main repo..if you do, well put the new one [03:02] Leefmc: if there are certain programs you want to install, and you want to test things out... google it and there will be a 1000 blogs with instructions to install [03:02] fp2007: yeah, I found what helps is trying to get as specific as possible. the nice thing about that page is that they have a section dedicated to error mesages and what they mean [03:02] does anyone use a UPS? [03:02] Flannel: i meant the devs are busy..hence the delay in uploading packages to hardy [03:02] I do [03:02] ijustam, yes [03:02] does your power history work? [03:02] but I dont know how to manage it on linux [03:02] ijustam: why? [03:02] :\ [03:02] Leefmc: minor versions update fine - but I would suggest installing your /home on a seperate partition [03:03] and I do a complete reinstall on new full releases [03:03] my power died today and i just noticed my power history is completely inactive [03:03] ijustam, i use nut not sure ha it just sends me emails on events [03:03] audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open audio device for playback. [03:03] any ideas? [03:03] how can I share files with xp running in vmware-server? [03:03] Leefmc: there is a place to get prepackaged deb's that ar not in the main yet... getdeb.net [03:03] willwh, Oh and btw, Blender is nice, but not nearly as good as some of the paid alternatives. 3D apps differ greatly from OSs heh. (i own most major 3d apps, its my field heh. Got fed up when Softimage wanted to charge me 300$ to switch my license to ubuntu) [03:03] Is there anyway to make firestarter notify you when there is a block event even if you havent clicked firestarter first [03:03] i found out that ubuntu's power manager will manage it now that i have my data cable [03:03] Leefmc: agreed, Maya is a standard pretty much [03:03] just.. power history won't move [03:03] I don't work int he industry but I know a lot of them [03:04] con-man: lsof /dev/snd/*..and see whats occupying audio [03:04] musikgoat, might want to also include that it can be bad for the system [03:04] ture [03:04] I'm desperate. [03:04] *true [03:04] something's still wrong wity my firefox. [03:04] problems with flash. [03:04] anirudh0: nothing [03:04] hey`, ask and someone will try to help just be exact.. [03:04] cowbud, the connection for that computer is being used by this one so i can get some help >< [03:04] Leefmc: does maya run under wine? [03:05] I've been trying to ask you guys the whole week, and someone already helped me really hard, and couldn't help me. [03:05] maya? I beleve there is a linux alertivative to that [03:05] con-man: which means nothing is using audio...is pulseaudio running? [03:05] willwh, Actually, i dislike maya. Its powerful, but it isn't friendly. Its designed for big companies with budgets to program their own features. If you wanna see a nice up and coming program, check out Luxologies Modo. Currently not linux, but they have a system to bake out apps for every release, so eventually they will support linux as a standard [03:05] I forgot the name... [03:05] Morgie, right but what I am saying is that some companies who distribute cable modems/dsl modems will only allow one mac address, however if you wait a while it may fail over and let you. I assume you don't have any other computer you can test? [03:05] nope [03:05] anirudh0: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=8992 [03:05] anyone know [03:05] the problem is I can't listen to any stream radio online. [03:05] anirudh0: nope [03:05] also, flas doesn't load properly, instead appears a play sign. [03:06] anirudh0, Actually, to avoid the hassle of licensing crap (i swear, spend 5000$ and you still dont own crap), the only app i plan on "Wine-ing" is Modo [03:06] reinstall flash [03:06] and due to that I can't upload pics on photobucket for sure. [03:06] Morgie, is this wireless or wired [03:06] hey`, and what happens when you click on that play sign does it try to load flash? [03:06] hey`: sounds like your not using adobe flash probably using one of the open source ones [03:06] con-man: start it from terminal..and see if an error comes up when you try to play something [03:06] bazhang_, cable modem connection [03:06] willwh, Is it possible to "transfer" my /home/ to a new partition, on a current install? [03:06] not right now no and it is hard wired === codercotton is now known as codercotton|away [03:06] cowbud, if I play the thing, in case of youtube vids. [03:06] Leefmc: yes, there are many blogs entries about it, one sec I'll dig you a link [03:06] they play alright. [03:06] Morgie, you can access the machine now? [03:06] if it's a flash effect it works. [03:06] Morgie, right so if eth0 is showing up chances are you are fine as far as the linux side [03:06] irc://freenode/#ubuntu [03:06] hey im bakc again ard [03:06] Leefmc: cp -rv ~/ [03:06] anirudh0: ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0 [03:06] ALSA lib setup.c:96:(snd_sctl_install) Cannot lock ctl elem [03:06] ALSA lib setup.c:96:(snd_sctl_install) Cannot lock ctl elem [03:07] and well I have installed the non-free flash. [03:07] con-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:07] 3 lines? [03:07] Leefmc: actually do cp -arv [03:07] and yet floodbot continues the flood [03:07] lovely [03:07] anirudh0, And you can make new partitions on the fly easily right? (In the partition manager, iirc) [03:07] is there a way to add a creation date to a file (apart from writing it into the filename) ...but still beeing part of the file ? [03:07] but when I wanna hear radio online is not possible. [03:07] it was 3 lines [03:07] con-man: use pastebin!! [03:07] http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [03:07] Failed to start the firewall. The device ath0 is not ready. Please check your network device settings and make sure your Internet Connection is active. [03:07] willwh: I do, but that was only 3 lines [03:07] and the photobucket problem is annoying too, i guess it's the same thing. [03:07] I'm trying to use firestarter to share eth0 using a wifi card [03:07] ok, so then why i cant i ever see my ipaddy [03:07] cowbud, does Morgie 's cable modem have a built in router? [03:07] willwh, Ty [03:07] no [03:07] con-man: i think a reboot might help..not sure though [03:07] Morgie, you need help or not? then answer my questions [03:07] cowbud, floodbot only tells the offender of the flood it doesnt 'continue the flood' thats like saying the next person who posts is flooding [03:07] I've installed several packages, also configuring firefox, but nuttin [03:08] anirudh0: aye, brb [03:08] I'll be right back, i got a question about FF-B5, and Amazon MP3. I can't preview the music. But brb, i need to reboot (system updates) [03:08] Bodsda, yeah well maybe floodbot should msg them instead of do it publically so we all don't have to see yet another useless line of text in this channel [03:08] it is just a ethernet modem [03:08] i am trying to play a wm file but its slow as hell [03:08] cowbud, some people dont allow pm's [03:08] Morgie, also preface your answers with the nickname of the person you are speaking to or your posts will be lost [03:08] adub: what player are you using and what codecs do you have installed? [03:08] what does it mean when i install brand new drivers for my pcmcia card and i look at my restricted hardware drives and it sais the device is working yet the pcmcia is not detected by my wifi scanner ...it wont detect any networks with it and the light on the thing isnt even on [03:09] Bodsda, seems like a bum compromise [03:09] willwh i tried mplayer and totem [03:09] adub: I work for a streamign media company and have totally tested WMA/WMV streams/files to death [03:09] the codecs im not sure [03:09] adub: perhaps your system is too slow to play it..start mplayer from cmd line..it should show something [03:09] cowbud, what does? [03:09] bazhang_, sorry i have just an eithernet modem [03:09] adub: make sure you have the gstreamer wm codecs instaleld [03:09] Bodsda, subjecting everyone to that because some people don't accept msgs they should just get kicked then [03:09] oh this isnt streaming media i have it local on my hard drive [03:09] whats in kde 4 thats not in kde 3 [03:09] Morgie, can you access the computer now [03:09] ok [03:09] 1 sec [03:09] bazhang_yes [03:09] cowbud: PM's only work for registered users on freenode iirc [03:10] what does it mean when i install brand new drivers for my pcmcia card and i look at my restricted hardware drives and it sais the device is working yet the pcmcia is not detected by my wifi scanner ...it wont detect any networks with it and the light on the thing isnt even on [03:10] Morgie, and the ethernet is attached now? [03:10] anirudh0: that's correct, you must be identified with Nickserv :) [03:10] started kde4 but theres no panel anywhere! any ideas? [03:10] whats in kde 4 thats not in kde 3??? [03:10] adub: can be a codecs issue..would'nt play at all then [03:10] * xenos cough* a panel [03:10] How can I go about mounting an ntfs drive using the kernel driver, rather than fuse and ntfs-3g? [03:10] cowbud, that would be harsh on users who have never been on irc before, they dont know not to post 4 lines in quick succession [03:10] Cary_Jebus: EVRYTHING :) [03:11] aww damnit [03:11] gstreamer0.10-plugin-good [03:11] nickrud [03:11] is that what i want [03:11] oops [03:11] I just installed KDE 3 [03:11] :( [03:11] Cary_Jebus: plasma mainly..and qt4..so apps become abot 30% faster [03:11] :(((((] [03:11] Cary_Jebus, yeah that is default [03:11] bazhang_ no i am using the connection for the one i am using to get some help, and my ifconfig is good [03:11] Cary_Jebus: KDE 4.1 beta packages are out [03:11] Hello Folks, anyone know stuff about iPods with Ubuntu? I seem to have an issue where as soon as I connect the ipod, podcasts that I've listened to are being marked as unplayed [03:11] LINK? [03:11] what does it mean when i install brand new drivers for my pcmcia card and i look at my restricted hardware drives and it sais the device is working yet the pcmcia is not detected by my wifi scanner ...it wont detect any networks with it and the light on the thing isnt even on [03:12] is there a way to add a creation date to a file (apart from writing it into the filename) ...but still beeing part of the file ? [03:12] naenae, first and foremost the best thing to do is google to find out whether or not linux supports that hardware [03:12] JohnPhys: you could add the relevant line in /etc/fstab [03:12] Wow... when using VNC to control my Ubuntu computer, Xorg uses 90% of the CPU, nothing more... ressource efficient ? (i have an e4500 with 2 GB) [03:12] ive done that [03:12] it doe [03:12] s [03:12] Cary_Jebus: see kubuntu.org [03:12] anirudh0: can you be more specific? [03:12] HiTo, vnc is resource intensive it takes lots and lots of snapshots in jpeg [03:12] ani, I dont want to have to uninstall ubuntu [03:12] How do I use pulseaudio one installed? I am using Hardy and have GUI tools. [03:12] Morgie, to troubleshoot this you need to connect the cable to the computer in question, then ifconfig should show eth0, then sudo dhclient eth0 should bring up the connection<--write down these instructions and then try them with ethernet connected (noting down any errors if does not work) [03:13] how is modification date controlled? is it possible to duplicate it and make it changeable only once so it works as a creation date? [03:13] JohnPhys: see the fstab file for format..replace ntfs-3g in there by the driver of your choice [03:13] HiTo: that is strange - I spend much of my day controlling my box over an ssh tunnel via vnc.... and my CPUs are not even 40% most of the time [03:13] HiTo: use ssh -X [03:13] bazhang_, assuming the aforementioned issue is not what is affecting him [03:13] anirudh0, that is hardly a replacement for vnc [03:13] bazhang_ ok i amdoing this now [03:13] portablejim: System > Prefs > Sound [03:13] yes but ssh -X doesn't work so well (i found) when using it from Windows [03:13] I installed Xming but i have errors when launching gnome [03:14] Cary_Jebus: not necessary..kde4 goes in /usr/lib/kde4..no messing up with ubuntu progs [03:14] otherwise ssh -X seems to use less ressources yes [03:14] Morgie, but the cable must be connected for that to work (you understand this right?) [03:14] anirudh0: how can I accomplish the mount from the command line? mount -t ntfs device mountpoint does not seem to work, the type of filesystem is listed as "fuseblk". I am curious about how to do this for rescuing ntfs partitions using a livecd. [03:14] HiTo: I use the default remote desktop feature in ubuntu (vino) - and an SSH tunnel for security [03:14] and it works gresat [03:14] willwh, == to vnc [03:14] cowbud: yes, true :) [03:14] JohnPhys: hmm..ntfs-3g uses fuse [03:14] JohnPhys: fuse=filesystem in user space [03:14] mount -t ntfs-3g [03:14] willwh it works fine yes, but I found it really hungry and I am not doing only that on the computer, [03:15] there is heavy file i/o [03:15] HiTo: what vncviewer are you using? [03:15] HiTo, there are alternatives but not built into the desktop well. FreeNX being one of them.. [03:15] HiTo: what colour depth etc are you tranferring? [03:15] anirudh0: exactly. I want to use the kernel ntfs driver. I know I have to modprobe ntfs to get that module loaded (it's not be default), but I'm not sure what to do after that. [03:15] hi everyone! im trying to update grub to add the .18 kernel, but its not working: http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/245603/ [03:16] I have followed https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio. I have set all dound devices to pulseaudio. [03:16] -18 [03:16] could someone help me with my xorg file, I'm trying to get 3 monitors working but I can only get the 1, my xorg file is here: www.pastebin.ca/1040933 thanks in advanced [03:16] Phoenn, nvidia video card? [03:17] and if I recall 3 monitors is not possible.. [03:17] which may be wrong [03:17] Question: Anyone who is running FireFox B5, could you please browse Amazon MP3 and try to preview music? I am unable to, and i am not sure if the blame is at Ubuntu or FF-B5 [03:17] willwh full available colours :) [03:17] cowbud: the main card is an nvidia agp card, the other two are ati pci [03:17] portablejim, #compiz-fusion might know [03:17] HiTo: that would explain much of the problem ;) [03:17] HiTo: try reducing that and see your results [03:18] started kde4 but theres no panel anywhere! any ideas? [03:18] xenos: add it using right click>add panel [03:18] phoen oh damn 3 differnet video cards yeah that is a pretty complex setup and is probably beyond the scope of this channel man.. [03:18] changed it to 256 colours, [03:18] Bodsda: why would #compiz-fusion know? [03:18] how come some of my sound ports are disabled in ubuntu? [03:18] xenos: there;s a kubuntu-kde channel as well [03:18] Anyone? :) [03:18] cowbud: any chance of getting two of them working? I'll take what I can get [03:19] (not sure if anyone is trying heh) [03:19] i have a sound card on my motherboard with 6 ports and it has headphones and speakers hooked up, i can only use the headphones.... [03:19] phoenn your best bet is to google about xinerama stuff and see what you can find.. [03:19] portablejim, because they deal with graphics and dual screens ,.,. it was just a suggestion [03:19] cowbud: alright, thanks [03:19] cowbud: be nice were suppost to be freandly... [03:19] randomshadowbmg: check for muted stuff in alsamixer [03:19] Cary_Jebus, what are you referring to? [03:19] bazhang_ i got these errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17781/ [03:19] willwh, Mind trying for me? [03:19] phoen oh damn 3 differnet video cards yeah that is a pretty complex setup and is probably beyond the scope of this channel man.. [03:20] bazhang_, which points to my original assessment [03:20] Cary_Jebus, yeah that isn't being rude [03:20] Cary_Jebus, it is more the truth [03:20] oh I though that was sarcasm [03:20] cowbud We dont tell people to rtfm or go google it [03:20] :P [03:20] cowbud, someone asks a question you say go away and search yourself -- not the helping mentality were trying to show [03:20] Jack_Sparrow: sometimes we should :) [03:20] wow [03:20] ok [03:20] do you know how to seutp xinerama with 3 cards? [03:21] have you even heard of that [03:21] probably not [03:21] cowbud: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:21] !enter [03:21] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:21] Ive done two before [03:21] cowbud, no but give me 10 mins i can prob find out [03:21] problem solved [03:21] but this is obviously a newb chanel [03:21] anirudh0_ There are times when it is necessary. But only as a last resort [03:21] :D [03:21] lol, what cowbud said was fine, he didn't offend me [03:21] cowbud, this is a channel welcometo n00bs intermidiates and pros alike [03:21] How do I move a pulseaudio stream to another computer, without killing the network? both computers are set up according to this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#head-83190ece29f1679536253fdcf836c51989fc209d [03:21] Bodsda, dude apparently not [03:21] you guys are so excited about your big mighty kick [03:21] ridiculous [03:21] cowbud Last time I did one it was 4 monitors on two cards, but I had to lose compiz to do it [03:22] cowbud: high horse much? :O [03:22] Jack_Sparrow, well I sure as hell didnt see you chime in [03:22] cowbud: i cant figure out whether you are a dev or a troll [03:22] !enter | cowbud [03:22] cowbud: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:22] cowbud, what big mighty kick??? [03:22] Bodsda, uh /kick [03:22] how do i get virtual box to mount an iso? [03:22] Bodsda the one he knows is coming for attitude etc [03:22] Mr_Bad_News, you set it as the cdrom drive [03:23] Jack_Sparrow, he got kicked? [03:23] Bodsda no.. but he knows better.. and is expecting one [03:23] :P [03:23] Mr_Bad_News, when you first create the virtual machine you will be presented with devices on the right hand side there you can select cdrom then select iso [03:23] Jack_Sparrow, oh god [03:23] anirudh0: any ideas? [03:24] Jack_Sparrow, someone who is expecting one should prob tone it down to avoid it ;~) [03:24] do I know better [03:24] I could give a fuck [03:24] kick me [03:24] cowbud: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:24] Jack_Sparrow: i hate to ask, but was the person that was having troubles with getting Regnum going. did he get it going after i left? *feels bad about it* [03:24] sorry for helping people [03:24] JohnPhys: i was out for a while..fstab did'nt work? [03:24] cowbud, bye [03:24] lol,.,.goodbye [03:24] cheers Jack_Sparrow :) [03:25] Hi, in which files are the settings for the gnome logout button? [03:25] so if i have 3 iso's for french russian and spanish i have to power down and select mount that iso each time? [03:25] oh wow [03:25] Mr_Bad_News: wow [03:25] now im out of here [03:25] lamers [03:25] is there a way to add a creation date to a file (apart from writing it into the filename) ...but still beeing part of the file ? [03:25] anirudh0_, Mind doing me a favor? (If you have Ubuntu & FF-B5) please check a random album i chose, and see if the previews play for you? (Requires Flash) http://www.amazon.com/Weezer-Red-Album-Deluxe/dp/B001A62PP6/ === rushin is now known as rrrushin [03:25] what anirudh0 [03:26] Mr_Bad_News: three iso's i mean..so many languages [03:26] so little time [03:26] eraldo, I think there are some filesystems that allow that. [03:26] Anyone wanna take a stab at why my xorg isn't working? I'd even settle for only getting 2 monitors working www.pastebin.ca/1040933 thanks in advanced [03:26] anirudh0: I want to do it manually from the terminal, as I'm looking for a way to accomplish this on a livecd for rescuing ntfs partitions. I was not able to mount an ntfs partition using a hardy disk, but a friend of mine was able to mount the partition using a debian cd using the ntfs kernel driver, rather than anything that used fuse. I am wondering how to accomplish that (mount ntfs using the kernel driver, not fuse). [03:26] Leefmc: I am - and the preview plays [03:26] willwh, Ah suck. So wtf.. why wont it play for me.. hurm. Thanks [03:27] anirudh0, willwh tried, you dont have to :) [03:27] Leefmc: what do you have set in Sys > Prefs> sound? [03:27] Leefmc: i get "open with totem" [03:27] Leefmc: I have everything set to ALSA [03:27] I don't trust pulseaudio yet! [03:27] JohnPhys: ntfs is not rw..ntfs-3g is..the command you typed way back was correct(mount from terminal) [03:27] crf: but ext3 is not part of that I guess ? [03:27] now I restart my computer to boot into KDE 4 right? [03:27] willwh, Ah i didn't realize firefox required sound settings. I assumed it all went through the same pipe (my mp3 player, vs firefox, vs some random prog) [03:28] Cary_Jebus: if that is selected in gdm [03:28] eraldo, that's right [03:28] newserver irc.discut.fr [03:28] no I selected kdm [03:28] crf: any other ideas ? [03:28] Cary_Jebus, you select which desktop environment you want to use at the login screen [03:28] Cary_Jebus: No, you'll need to select it from the "sessions" menu. GDM/KDM don't have a preference on what they boot to [03:28] Cary_Jebus: you have to select the kde4 session in kdm [03:29] anirudh0: at least on gutsy, both mount.ntfs AND mount.ntfs-3g point to /bin/ntfs-3g [03:29] well I need to update anyway [03:29] :P [03:29] brb [03:29] anirudh0: and to my knowledge, that uses fuse [03:29] eraldo, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems [03:29] * Leefmc waits for firefox to unfreeze [03:29] See this is why Beta5 stinks. hehe :o [03:29] JohnPhys: ntfs-3g uses fuse..there is an older ntfs driver that provides read only access [03:30] willwh, Hah! That was it! Thank you [03:30] willwh, I assumed i didn't have any sound problems because my mp3 player worked fine. [03:30] JohnPhys: see http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ for more details [03:30] eraldo, I'm not an expert. :) ... I don't fell comfortable giving advice that would result in changing your whole filesystem ;) [03:30] Leefmc: no problem :) [03:30] anirudh0: that would be fine, as I'm interested in rescuing data off of a busted ntfs partition that ntfs-3g has trouble mounting. How can I use the older driver from a hardy livecd? [03:31] Hey guys, my computer every time i log in now says "cannot load .dmrc it should have permissions 7555 and should be owned by user and not accessible by any other user, can anybody tell me how to fix it? ive looked everywhere, the forums havent helped out, i tried everything. [03:31] willwh, I was about to have a heart attack. I need my music fix haha. Every man has his addiction, and i have to budget mine heh [03:31] JohnPhys: afaik the older driver is'nt there in hardy livecd..you'll need edgy or dapper livecd for that [03:31] Leefmc: amen to that ;) [03:31] alan_m: you mean 600 [03:32] Yea overall, i am very happy to have made the move to ubuntu. [03:32] alan_m: do chmod 600 ~/.dmrc ..and chmod 700 ~/ [03:32] Honestly, i feel like i've thrown my 3D App burdon more than my windows burdon. 3D App licensing is so f'n horrible. [03:32] Except for a few, ofcourse [03:32] JohnPhys: it is unlikely that the older driver will work where the newer one failed [03:32] Leefmc: it is rather liberating picking up a *nix distro if you are used to windows :) [03:32] certainly is refreshing! [03:32] willwh, Amen [03:33] willwh, Once i can get my MX Revolution in working order, i'll be set hehe [03:33] anirudh0: well, the ntfs module still exists in gutsy, so I think ti's there. and my friend was able to use the ntfs kernel driver (not the fuse one) to mount the partition sucessfully. [03:33] anirudh0, ok, thanks buddy, lets see if this works......if i messed it up before...i had a backup so i wasnt too terribly afraid. [03:33] does anyone have access to a clean hoary install(no other packages installed) [03:34] willwh, You know xconf.conf at all? (i think thats what its called), there is a MX Revolution tutorial for an older ubuntu install, but im not sure if it would still apply for Hardy [03:34] can anyone help with a thin client server configuration? [03:34] fdhdh: ....Hoary or Hardy? [03:34] umm.. 8.04 [03:34] fdhdh, thats Hardy :) [03:34] Leefmc: xorg.conf :) [03:34] woops...well, anyone have access to a clean hardy install? [03:34] hoary was the second one..antique [03:34] Leefmc: It will probably still apply to hardy [03:34] fdhdh: Hardy :) I can't help with that, but I thought I'd at least ask ot clear up any confusion for those that can help. [03:34] fdhdh, i might be fixing to if this doesnt work, lol [03:35] does anyone know how to get a recursive list of package dependencies? [03:35] fdhdh, but as of right now, i dont. [03:35] willwh, Lemme grab the link, take a peak and let me know. IIRC xorg.conf is an insanely important file correct? (Also, if i end up screwin the file up, what would be my recover options?) [03:35] Leefmc: I was going to link this; it's not ubuntu specific though - http://andy.hillhome.org/blog/2006/09/27/logitech-mx-revolution-in-linux/ [03:35] fdhdh, for all packages? [03:35] Leefmc: let's pm session [03:35] yeah [03:35] fdhdh, your asking for a huge list there, heh [03:36] fdhdh: try apt-cache depends [03:36] i mean like...i have an ubuntu machine with no internet, and i want to install something on it...i want to generate all dependencies so i can download them, burn em to cd, and then give it to synaptic [03:36] !aptoncd | fdhd [03:36] fdhd: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [03:36] fdhdh, ^^^ [03:36] !apton.......meh [03:36] Factoid apton.......meh not found [03:36] fdhdh: use fluxubuntu live cd then..easier and faster..and it has nothing on it except bare min [03:37] * alan_m shoulda backspaced that..sorry [03:37] :D [03:37] is there a way to make a shortcut on the desktop for xkill? [03:37] yeah but how do i get APTonCD there [03:37] alan_m: how do you produce these * [03:37] i would need to install it along with a bunch of dependencies i bet [03:37] anirudh0, its called the /me command [03:37] * anirudh0_ test [03:37] connor - force quit applet not working well enough? [03:38] no [03:38] fdhdh, you download it as an iso [03:38] i just want to be able to double click it [03:38] create a launcher [03:38] but you'll need to click on the app too after [03:38] fdhdh, if you download the iso, it includes the dependencies :D [03:38] because sometimes my programs are fullscreen, they get forced windowed if my screensaver popups and forcequit has no effect [03:38] so a desktop icon for xkill would be quite lovely [03:39] downlaod what iso? [03:39] is there a filebrowser like filezilla but for desktop use (nautilus replace) [03:39] fdhdh, for fluxbuntu [03:39] i already have ubuntu installed [03:39] connor, you could use a program called zenity to open a dialog box then you enter a prog name and it executes killall [03:39] so yeah thats basically it [03:39] fdhdh: you are not listening [03:39] or can I setup nautilus to also have 2 path windows ? [03:39] no [03:39] i just want a desktop icon for it [03:39] is that too much to ask? [03:39] what would fluxubuntu let me do? [03:39] connor - create a launcher then [03:39] this is linux we are dealing with. anything is possible with linux [03:39] eraldo: "path window"? [03:39] how? [03:40] think i go tit [03:40] got it* [03:40] i dont see how downloading fluxubuntu will solve my problems [03:40] fdhdh, download aptoncd? [03:40] have flubuntu ever become final? [03:40] woohoo it worked! [03:40] eraldo: nautilus has no tabs ..or split view..if thats what you need [03:40] anyone help with an ubuntu thin client issue? i promise it will be fun :) [03:40] flux? [03:40] ok [03:40] yowwww: i want fun, whats the problem [03:40] good stuff connor_ === tro|| is now known as tro [03:41] I would not advise using fluxbuntu [03:41] anirudh0_: in filezilla i can look at one directory on one side and at the same time have a look at another on the other side... this way I can easily move a file from one dir to another [03:41] Bodsda: okay, i hope it works on a vanilla ubuntu install with no dependencies [03:41] yowwww: wheres teh fun at? [03:41] darthanubis, its final, just not "officially" supported. [03:41] im setting up a thin client system, got the server installed, trying to connect to it [03:41] better off using ubuntu with fluxbox installed from a alt. cd [03:41] fdhdh, the dependencies are included in aptoncd [03:41] eraldo: nautilus does'nt have it yet [03:41] hmm [03:41] first time setting up a thin client [03:41] i dunnolol [03:41] awesome, i feel better now ;) [03:41] anirudh0: is there one that does have it ? [03:41] alan_m, took long enough [03:41] that has what [03:41] eraldo: whats the problem [03:42] eraldo: search for "midnight commander" in synaptic..konqueror in kde has it [03:42] darthanubis, what are you referring to? [03:43] how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to 192.168.0.1:1234 to 127.0.0.1:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on 127.0.0.1 and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon. [03:43] eraldo: also look at pcmanfm..no split view..but tab support [03:43] alan_m, it is most nights ;~) [03:44] Ok, after i install dmraid to use a raid setup on my 8.04 install, i reboot into some (initramfs) shell. I've noticed there'sno /etc/fstab in this, and i think it may be because now that i'm using dmraid, it's picking up the single hard drive i use to boot from as something else [03:44] is there any use of raid on a single hd? [03:44] no [03:44] anirudh0_: No [03:44] well, technically it's a spanning raid with one disk [03:45] anirudh0: what I am looking for is twin view... but no command line browser... rather a desktop filebrowser with twinview [03:45] wow; [03:45] eraldo: konqueor and dolphin do it in kde..you can use those from gnome as well [03:46] eraldo - emelfm2 [03:46] yowwww: thats ancient [03:46] connor_: I most of the time start 2 nautilus windows... and drag one file from the first window to the other window... [03:46] anirudh0_ - it was updated not long ago [03:46] lalala [03:46] eraldo: i dunno why nautilus does'nt have tab and split view support [03:46] cause nautilus is sux [03:46] anirudh0_ - nautilus does have tabs in the latest svn [03:47] eraldo: its a good file manager otherwise [03:47] !br | nenen [03:47] nenen: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [03:47] yowwww: great! [03:47] I need some help connecting to a wireless network on my eeepc [03:47] yep, long overdue, but awesome nonetheless [03:47] yowwww: and split views? [03:47] aptoncd doesnt do what i want [03:47] connor_: now that I use filezilla for remote machines... I wondered if there is a way to get nautilus do that... but anirudh0_ already told me that it can not... [03:47] no anirudh0_ , one step at a time, lol [03:47] maybe it will be added before its final [03:47] :)\ [03:47] i dont think it lets me choose what package to install, it only works on ones ive already installed [03:47] mjburling, /join #eeepc also see their wiki at www.eeeuser.com [03:47] * anirudh0_ leaves for breakfast [03:48] anirudh0_: i know it is... but always having multiple nautilus windows open annoys me [03:48] breakfast? wow anirud...your up early :D [03:48] meh, too late [03:49] I'm in #eeepc and I've got help to get the modules installed correctly, I just don't know how to finally get in touch with a wireless network. [03:50] fdhdh, decide what apps you want and there dependencies (if needed) then go to an internet amchine and create the cd then take them back [03:50] mjburling, open a terminal and type ifconfig [03:50] How do I actually test and see if everything is working correctly and finally connect to a network? [03:50] I don't see my wireless adapter :( [03:51] mjburling - try iwconfig -scanning [03:51] see if it lists your access point [03:51] mjburling, then the module may not be properly loaded [03:51] Everything is set and ready to go (i think) in /lib [03:51] So frustrated. [03:52] how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to 192.168.0.1:1234 to 127.0.0.1:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on 127.0.0.1 and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon. [03:53] I just installed (on my 3rd machine) Hardy. and it won't boot. no errors during install. booting shows GRUB Loading stage1.5 and stays there. 1 harddrive in machine (sata) 1gig+ ram and stage1.5 is in /boot/grub. Any assistance? [03:54] anyone successful at getting the mic working on a dell d620 laptop? [03:54] i had found the LaptopTestingTeam results, and their input doesn't seem to work [03:54] I can't even get my external mic to work on a desktop when it worked on 7.10 [03:55] it always forces my capture vol to 0 [03:55] how do you install KDE themes? [03:55] Izinucs - have you looked at the menu.lst to see if it seems correct? [03:55] how do you install KDE themes? [03:55] cary_jebus - isnt in the control panel or something? [03:55] been sooooooooo long since i used kde [03:55] weres that [03:55] :P [03:55] can anyone tell me what packages i need for virtualbox? [03:55] yowwww it matches my other machine.. so with that referance.. yes. [03:55] is there a keytouch like program for ir remotes? [03:56] keytouch ? [03:56] Izinucs - does it use the UID of the HD? [03:56] under settings in the main menu cary_jebus ? or system or something along those lines [03:56] should open the control panel [03:56] yowwww: I'll check but I've gotta boot the live cd.. by the way I've tried the live and alternate. [03:56] Is there any way to use the kernel ntfs (read only) driver to mount ntfs partitions, without using ntfs-3g/fuse? I ask because I would like to do so to rescue ntfs partitions that ntfs-3g cannot mount, but both /sbin/mount.ntfs and /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g point to /bin/ntfs-3g, and I cannot seem to find a command that will let me mount using the kernel driver. Was this feature completely removed? Thank you for your time and [03:56] cary_jebus, you may have more luck in #kubuntu [03:56] kanyremote will00? [03:56] what is the current kernel for hardy 8.04? the update was 2.6.24-18-generic [03:56] ok [03:57] Izinucs - neither of them boot after the install? [03:57] reya276: it was -17 before the update [03:57] reya276: -19.33 [03:57] reya276: (in hardy-proposed) [03:57] stupid question... anyone know how to automount NTFS drives [03:57] lol [03:57] yowwww: nope.. and the drive is brand spanking new.. [03:57] !ntfs3g [03:57] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [03:57] size cary_jebus ? [03:57] thankyou tinin [03:57] errr Izinucs [03:57] np [03:58] man i havent used linux in ages.. [03:58] crimsun: well I did all the updates and yesterday it was 2.6.24-18-generic and now is 2.6.24.16-generic and my system is acting weird [03:58] JohnPhys, What error are you getting when you try to mount with ntfs-3g? Have you tried mounting read only? [03:58] yowwww: that's my response too.. been on ubuntu since Breezy Badger.. this one stumps me. [03:58] last i used this was when reading NTFS was considered bad.. [03:58] lol [03:58] !lol [03:58] 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. [03:58] Izinucs go to pm? [03:58] k [03:59] now it is even better than in winblows Mr_Milenko [03:59] crimsun: How can I make sure I'm using 2.6.24-18 because I compiled some drivers for this update [03:59] tinin, that works great for cell phones, but im using an actual remote control [03:59] reya276, uname -r [03:59] but you should use ext3 to avoid fragmentation Mr_Milenko [03:59] i dualboot [04:00] all of my media is on an NTFS partition [04:00] Jordan_U: it was a lot of buffer i/o errors, couldn't determine the number of somethings (clusters maybe?) I don't have the drive available now (it was a friends), but another friend was able to access it using a debian disk and the kernel ntfs driver, so I'm wondering how to od it from a livecd. I did not try mounting it read only, though that is a good idea. [04:00] Got to access my music :) [04:00] !virtualbox [04:00] 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 [04:00] Jordan_U: 2.6.24-16-generic [04:00] !msgthebot | exoplasm [04:00] exoplasm: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubottu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. [04:00] no idea then, will00, but I'm interested in that too. I read Mythtv or other media centers have support for that [04:00] hey, i need to update my bios on an acer aspire 5315 notebook. acer haven't provided a tool to flash it from anything except windows or DOS [04:01] You guys have made it quite easy to migrate from windows, and I thankyou. [04:01] tinin, they do, and i know lirc supports my remote/reciever but i cant seem to get it to work [04:01] could i do it under WINE or would i be better using something like the UBCD to start freeDOS [04:01] your welcome Mr_Bad_News [04:01] Mr_Milenko, [04:02] how can i redirect (incoming and outgoing) traffic to 192.168.0.1:1234 to 127.0.0.1:1234? i'm using Shorewall. Need this because i have a daemon that only listens on 127.0.0.1 and i want to access from LAN. No configuration possible for the daemon. [04:02] and if i'm using the UBCD and some sort of DOS, how do i access the bios flashing utility? just put it in a directory on the HDD? [04:02] JohnPhys, I think it's much more likely that the important difference was read only vs RW rather than ntfs-3g vs old kernel driver, but you should be able to apt-get remove fuse from the liveCD and mount -t ntfs and I think it will use the kernel driver [04:03] jonas22: if it only listens on 127.0.0.1 i dont know how you could trick it into listening elsewhere with firewall configs... [04:04] \nick Billybeans [04:04] hi === root is now known as poooop [04:04] hi [04:04] Jordan_U: I'm not so sure about that, as I think mount -t ntfs just uses mount.ntfs, which points to /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g, which uses the fuse stuff. You may be right on the rw vs. ro though, it's a good point. Still, I'd like to be able to use the kernel driver if needed (the ntfs module is still shipped, so it's *there*, but I can't find a command to use it!) [04:04] hi [04:04] can anyoner see me? [04:04] yes [04:04] Question: I am trying to create a new partition for /home from root, and GParted's options are all greyed out. I am digging through docs, but they haven't mentioned anything relevant yet, anyone have any idea? [04:04] sure, i see you [04:04] hi [04:05] sup? [04:05] Leefmc: you'll need a liveCD, as you can't edit mounted partitions [04:05] any help? new to linux and ubuntu, how to download bit torrents? [04:05] Leefmc: You have to umount the drive you want to create the partition on [04:05] how do i get Zelda for the ubuntu? [04:05] Flannel, Ah suck haha, all this again :D. So i guess im sort of hosed, oh well, i'll wait till i need to reinstall [04:05] Zelda the game? [04:05] Depends... a Zelda Clone or.. are you trying to emulate a rom? [04:05] JohnPhys, Can you unmount a partition your using? [04:05] yes [04:06] poooop, Which version? [04:06] ubuntugames.org [04:06] i want zelda the game,, im stuck in 1989 [04:06] for life [04:06] O_o [04:06] :D [04:06] uh.. [04:06] * Leefmc quotes that [04:06] how to install minibuntu on HDD ? [04:06] i would recommend the tv series but i think that was the 90s... [04:06] Although i would be 3 years old at that time, none the less its funny. :) [04:06] SMBSS!!! [04:06] Zelda on fridays [04:07] lol [04:07] Mr_Milenko: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:07] Is there a linux alternative to Remote Desktop? Yes I know about VNC, but I'd like support for audio and local devices (thumbdrives/etc). Plus I'd like to be able to stream video. I *could* just use XP but I just got my wife to warm up to Ubuntu and I don't want to take a step backwards... [04:07] what the hell im not flooding [04:07] Jordan_U: none of the updates that I did yesterday and today and there, the kernel update is non-existent and I know for a fact that I had done two of there kernel updates one was 2.6.24-17 and the other 2.6.24.18 but now the only ones present are 2.6.24-16 and 2.6.24.12 which is very odd [04:07] tom_: Check out FreeNX and NoMachine NX [04:07] Mr_Milenko, yes, you are. ;P [04:07] not on purpose :P [04:07] did anyone answer my question earlier about flashing my bios? [04:08] exoplasm: reading now...thanks :-) [04:08] what make and model of your PC Takeshi? [04:08] Leefmc: No, you can't umount a partition you're running ubuntu from. [04:08] tom_, ssh -X will do the audio redirection ( in hardy and newer with pulseaudio sound server enabled ) though not the local devices [04:08] who made it, what kind of board etc [04:08] mr_milenko: acer aspire 5315 [04:08] JohnPhys, Ah, didnt think so. Oh well im hosed hehe. Not insanely important i spose :) [04:08] Jordan_U: I'm trying to run virtual desktops from some free Windows XP embedded machines I got from work [04:08] need the update because my cpu fan doesn't spin once the OS starts :-/ [04:09] laptop? [04:09] Mr_Milenko, Me? Yes, with no/bad CD Drive [04:09] Mr_milenko: yeah [04:09] n/m :D [04:09] floppy drive? [04:09] hi [04:09] Jordan_U: could Startup manager have cause this, I clicked on "Restore Defaults" [04:09] tom_ you could launch graphical apps with: ssh -X user@your.ip:port(22 by default) [04:09] Leefmc: You can certainly unmount *other* partitions, just not the one that / is on. You can change/shrink them from a livecd though, since that won't have mounted your partitions. [04:09] tom_, I think the only thing likely to do what you want easily would be NX [04:09] anybody tried the lil asus subnotebook with the solid state disk? [04:09] Takeshi: ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_5315/vista/Bios/v1.21.zip [04:09] Jordan_U: Any ideas on where to hunt for the way ot use the kernel ntfs driver? [04:10] Googles your friend homie :P [04:10] Jordan_U: thanks. So FreeNX is the free version of NoMachineNX? [04:10] Mr_Milenko: i think the issue is you cant install it from linux [04:10] tom_, Yes [04:10] I am having some trouble with mdadm / RAID. The disks are new, and seem to be okay, but when attempting to access the array, I get a bunch of ata3 errors, and the machine eventually locks. [04:10] mr_milenko: i've already got 1.21 [04:10] yeah well your fan is screwed correct? [04:10] Jordan_U: I like free. It's my favorite price :-) I'll check it out..thanks for the heads up! [04:10] RE-Flash the bios [04:10] ;) [04:10] JohnPhys, Yea, but i can't use livecd (though some weird alternative may be possible via network.. but network is a pain heh). I'm fine for now. At the moment, all i can install ubuntu by is using the mini-iso, so next time i install ubuntu i'll be sure to setup a /home (i think it lets me.. i can't recall) [04:10] tom_: there is a free as in beer official version of NX, FreeNX is open source clone that i dont think is updated yet for hardy [04:10] HELP: I want to join irc.gnome.org, via pidgin, any one could help me? [04:10] [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? [04:11] mr_milenko: i can't flash the bios, and there's newer boises than 1.21 [04:11] khajavi, Sure, whats the problem? [04:11] oi.. [04:11] Leefmc: Alrighty. Yes, it does let you set up a separate home partition. [04:11] tom_, I am not sure what features it has and it was a pain to setup last time I tried but it's seems likely the most 'comprehensive' service available right now [04:11] dude you make a bootlfoppy [04:11] mr=_milenko:well, actually, i haven't tried to flash the bios, that's what i was asking [04:11] Jordan_U: Which one? FreeNX? [04:11] using DOS [04:11] @ khajavi:: i had problems with pidgin, too... concerning irc, i really prefer a conventional client [04:11] download the archive, open the CL50121-Dos folder [04:11] put that on a bootable dos floppy [04:12] boot from the floppy [04:12] mr_milenko: i asked whether i could use the windows bios update tool through wine [04:12] tom_, I really don't know what the practical differences are if any between the two [04:12] trust me dude.. this is alot easier [04:12] lol [04:12] tom_: http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=5 [04:12] sorry.. [04:12] tom_: it's super easy to setup [04:12] still don't have a floppy drive, dude [04:12] exoplasm: is nomachine free? [04:12] tom_: just make sure to install openssh [04:12] you just said you had one.. [04:12] fred_: what do you suggest me? [04:12] tom_: that is the free version (not open source) [04:12] Jordan_U: is it possible to force the system to re-download the updates? [04:12] khajavi, I agree with fred_ , XChat is nice, and Gnome-XChat is decent. But if you want to, simply go to manage accounts, make a new irc account, give it the url's, etc [04:12] i'm using Gnome-XChat right now [04:12] khajavi, Were you having specific problems? Pidgin not connecting, etc [04:13] is it possible to force the system to re-download the updates? [04:13] feeling good in here [04:13] exoplasm: as long as I don't have to pay :-p. Having a wife saps your money [04:13] thanks for the help everyone! [04:13] what? no i didn't? [04:13] I mis-read what you said my apologies [04:13] khajavi, Imo, Depending on your needs, XChat is best. XChat offers much more, since Gnome-XChat seems to be a stripped down version of XChat [04:13] Takeshi: i'd reccommend getting a base copy of MSDOS (or a clone) working so that it can boot a CD [04:13] he doesnt have a cdrom either [04:14] irssi is the best IRC client, hands down :) [04:14] oh [04:14] but I like pidgin :-D === richard is now known as kingbilly [04:14] hrm [04:14] USB boot support? [04:14] what you could do though.. is open gparted [04:14] that's what i was thinking with the ultimate boot cd [04:14] willwh, No python scripting support, == no Leefmc :D [04:14] to whomever that helped me with my .dmrc issues, thank you! it worked! [04:14] it comes with freeDOS [04:14] Takeshi: make a bootable usb stick with dos on it! :D [04:14] Leefmc: every plugin/script for irssi is written in perl :P [04:14] thanks for all I check them soon [04:14] willwh, I know ;) [04:14] hold on.. do you have a CDRom? [04:15] How can I force my system to re-download all the updates for the past two days? [04:15] [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? [04:15] khajavi, As i asked before then, what are you having problems with? Simply making an irc acount? Or are you having actual connection issues [04:15] Takeshi: all you need to have is command.com and a few other files... [04:15] khajavi, (If you answered and i did not see, sorry. Please reply directly to me so it gets flagged) [04:15] @khajavi ... stay safe, i'm off to zzzzZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ good night everyone [04:15] how easy is it to make a bootable usb stick with windows on it, and how big a stick would i need? would 128mb do? [04:16] Takeshi: why would you want to do that? :( [04:16] Leefmc: I insert irc.gnome.org in server and my nick name but it didnt connect to irc [04:16] !windows | Takeshi [04:16] Takeshi: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and /msg ubotu equivalents [04:16] Takeshi: why are you wanting to update your bios anyways? [04:16] Takeshi: you can make a bootable DOS USB pen [04:16] Jalathan, he said his fan stops on booting of the Operating System [04:16] hmm i've installed virtualbox (nonfree) but i dont see it in any menus... do i need to do something for it to show up? [04:17] *sigh* i need to find a way to split the connects/disconnects and the chat... [04:17] khajavi, You selected IRC protocol too i assume. Did you get connection errors? Did it "tell" you anything? [04:17] good reason though [04:17] Thanks for the help guys, I'm off to configure my system [04:17] khajavi, One reason i don't like pidgin for IRC, is it sort of hides IRC. Perhaps thats your issue? [04:17] hey guys, is it possible to have twin channel view in xchat? so i can see the chat in two channels simultaineously? [04:18] Bodsda: Why don't you open two instances of Xchat? [04:18] Leefmc: ok, I will install alternate IRC software [04:18] bullgard1, cause i dont want to [04:19] Can anyone please help, I need to make sure kernel 2.6.24.18 loads and not 2.6.24-16 [04:19] how can I tell what partition Ubuntu is using for swap file? [04:19] Takeshi: this might be of help: http://www.nenie.org/misc/flashbootcd.html [04:19] khajavi, Give Gnome-XChat a try, but i found its features too limited. If you know you want more, go ahead with XChat or irssi [04:19] khajavi, many like irssi [04:19] i changed partition that I want Hardy to use for swap. How do I tell Hardy to use the new partition? [04:19] Leefmc: thanks alot [04:20] !swap [04:20] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [04:20] jalathan: there's some kind of bug, because the machine was built for Vista (and its a "budget" model, with very liuttle support for anything a "casual" user wouldn't do) so when the OS starts, something to do with APCI, my CPU fan stops spinning [04:20] khajavi, np, nice to be able to help some haha. Considering all the help i've recieved here as of late (my first ubuntu install) [04:20] Johnny_5, I don't have any ntfs partitions to test it with but it seems that even if I rename /bin/ntfs-3g to /bin/ntfs-3g-bak mount still gets far enough to get errors like "NTFS-fs error (device sda2): ntfs_fill_super(): Not an NTFS volume." so I think it is using the kernel driver somehow ( though that is just a guess ) [04:20] On my Kern.log it says that 2.6.24-18 was install but only 2.6.24-16 is on the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [04:21] hello everyone [04:21] tommy_: swapon (is a command promt) [04:21] hello [04:21] tommy_: see 'man swapon' [04:21] how i can mount nfs from network in BusyBox v0.61.pre [04:21] khajavi, lot of work [04:21] what does it mean when irw returns a connection refused?

Every time I use mount -t ntfs it mounts as a type fuseblk [04:22] khajavi, sdc3 is my new swap partition I want Hardy to use. WHat command I use? [04:22] tommy_: swapon -a [04:23] swapon -a will find scd3 on itself?

[04:26] tommy: does 'free' show swap in use? [04:27] On first install, how do I configre it to automatically boot up XP in GRUB loader instead of Ubuntu? [04:27] tommy, cat /etc/fstab [04:27] i tried asking in #debian, but they wouldn't take me seriously, (i was gonna go back to debian, just out of curiosity, cos its been a while, but the cpu fan stopped whern the installer started, so it kept overheating and dying, mid-install) [04:27] tommy: try 'swapon' and the partition that you reserved for swap. (or swapon -a) [04:27] khajavi, stop trolling dude. please dont waste my time. if u dont know, just dont give any advice [04:27] dfox1, what do u mean? [04:27] tommy_: He's not trolling, though the advice might not be the most descriptive. [04:28] bluewook: a few ways, you can either move it to the to (above ##begin debian automagic kernel list, not just up with the kernels) or add "savedefault" after the entry in your menu.lst and change the "default" to "saved" (near the top of the config) [04:28] i've got a problem with the ntfs-config program it tells me i don't have permission to open a hard drive that it originally let me open and it has switched names of the hard drive on me [04:28] JohnPhys, well his advice stinks lol [04:28] Flannel: English? =P [04:28] does anyone know why irw would return a connection error? [04:28] dfox1, free says, "Swap: 0 0 0" [04:28] tommy_, the command I sent you will answer your question on being able to tell what ubuntu is currently using for swap [04:29] kingbilly, what command> sorry I missed it [04:29] how can i do run 3D graphix in my VIA Technologies, Inc.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [04:29] bluewook: alt-f2, gksu "gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" then up at the top, change "default 0" to "default saved" and then scroll all the way down to the bottom, and right after "chainloader +1" make a new line, type "savedefault" [04:29] GogDaen: with dificulty. try installing DRIconf [04:29] kingbilly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17795/ [04:30] how many bytes after the start of the hard disk does the first partition start? [04:30] Flannel: When GRUB loader asks me to pick an OS to boot? [04:30] kingbilly, can u please look at my output and tell me? [04:30] Takeshi: have you a tutorial? [04:30] tommy_, dfox1 raised a good point, [04:30] what point? [04:30] bluewook: No, this'll be something you'll edit once you get into Ubuntu. Then after that, you'll want to choose XP once, and after that, it will be the default [04:30] dfox1, yes I did [04:31] Ok cool, thanks :) [04:31] tommy_, currently, ubuntu is not using a seperate partition for swap [04:31] does anyone use openvpn around here?? [04:31] dfox1, I made a seperate partiion, told gparted to use as linux swap. Then I restored an old Hardy backup. And im runnning hardy now, but it doesnt seem to be using my swap partition. what can I do? [04:31] tommy: you have /dev/sdc7 set as your swap partition. Do (sudo) # swapon /dev/hdc7) see what happens [04:31] GogDaen: no, but i can pretty much talk you through running those....although it's not a great chip for 3d, it's the onboard in all my desktop machines [04:31] hi , how do i specify target path for rar to extract ? [04:31] hi all , how do i specify target path for rar to extract ? [04:31] and your entry in fstab really shouldn't be commented out. [04:31] kingbilly, do I need a swap partition then? Because im running Hardy [04:32] I just bought a deluo usb gps device. Does anyone have one of these working? [04:32] what is /dev/sda1 normally ? [04:32] dfox1, how come Hardy is running fine if its not using any swap partition? [04:32] its a mount, but not sure what device (how do i check) [04:32] tommy_: Because you dont need a swap partition [04:32] pokerfacepenguin: yes, depends on what make/modell you have [04:32] Flannel, what????????????? :P [04:32] tommy_: Swap is not required [04:32] Flannel, really? I didnt know that [04:33] [Epiphany] What file stores the bookmarks? [04:33] tommy: it'll run OK depending on how much RAM you have and what apps you use. But at some point you really should have the swap on [04:33] tommy_: you only need swap if you run out of RAM [04:33] morphir_: deluo gps universal [04:33] tommy_:a swap partition is virtual memory, the equivalent of windows "pagefile.sys" [04:33] tommy_: If you've got enough RAM, sure. If you run out of RAM... things start going poorly [04:33] askvictor, what happens if I run out of my 1GB RAM and dont have a swap partition? [04:33] tommy_: try it :) === c3s4r_ is now known as C3s4r [04:33] pokerfacepenguin: google for "deluo linux" [04:33] Flannel, what happens if no swap partition and Hardy runs out of RAM? Does Hardy freeze? [04:33] tommy_, which partition did you want to use again [04:34] kingbilly, sdc3 [04:34] how do i find out what a specific mount is (/dev/sda1 for example) - what drive it is ? [04:34] tommy: what will probably happen is apps will randomly quit due to an out of memory killer process. [04:34] tommy_: hardy prolly won't freeze, but applications might. You won't be able to start new apps [04:34] morphir_: I have been googling all nite, and i see some have it running. No luck yet. I'll try linux instead of ubuntu or debian real quick [04:34] askvictor, i have 1GB RAM! what could I be running before it ran out of RAM? [04:34] tommy_, can you paste the output of " sudo fdisk -l [04:34] tommy_: firefox :) [04:34] tommy_: No, you just start chugging along, and some programs might close. [04:35] I am trying to install ubuntu on a AMD 4000 with 2GB of ram and a 7800GT, all i see at the top left corner is a blinking cursor. It loads the disc fine but when i click on live cd or install it just shows a blinking cursor [04:35] kingbilly, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17798/ [04:35] tommy: for instance. there was this time an aquaintance (back in the very early days of linux) didn't have a swap parrtition and only had a couple of megs of RAM. he told me that closing emacs took 45 minutes [04:35] Flannel, ok thanks [04:35] pokerfacepenguin: from what I understand there is support for your gps [04:35] askvictor, behave, dont tease me :) [04:36] Flannel, I will use gparted and remove the 800MB swap partition then :) [04:36] why is it when i run fsck it says that running it might cause serious problems with mounted drives (then lists my primary drive) ? [04:36] Flannel, is personal data written and stored on the swap partition? [04:36] WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. [04:36] tommy_: really depends on what you're doing. Go to system->admin->system monitor->resources to see how much you're using, or the processes tab to see individual processes usage. Firefox is using 210Mb on mine atm [04:36] jedimind: Because you shouldn't fsck a mounted drive. If you want to fsck it, sudo touch /forcefsck then reboot [04:36] pokerfacepenguin: is it usb or bluetooth? [04:36] I just downloaded a tar.gz file and I need help opening it. I looked up some guides, and they all say to use the command tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz then cd to the directory and type ./configure, but once I try to configure it tells me "no such file or directory" even though I CD'd to the correct directory [04:37] morphir_: i know some folks have got it going. I have already modprobed pl2303...is usb [04:37] Flannel: okay but why is my primary drive mounted ? [04:37] tommy: why not enable it? Take the comment # out of the fstab, save it, when you remount after boot it should find it and automaticallly add it [04:37] jedimind: Probably because Linux is on it? [04:37] pokerfacepenguin: then do lsusb [04:37] morphir_: i am just not sure how to troubleshoot furthur..i know that it is recognized as ttyUSB0 [04:37] askvictor, im running Firefox, xchat, terminal and it says 240MB RAM used, and 760 MB FREE [04:37] tommy_: Nothing is stored long term on the swap partition, but temporarily, sure, it could be. [04:37] okay ... im a little confused; ubuntu setup the partitions, it made my drives the way they should be by default - i didnt touch anything started from a clean slate... and now i cant fsck without potential massive data corruption ? [04:38] HELP: any one now how can i boot ISO from Grub? (the target system doesnt have any cdrom) [04:38] Can anyone help me with the blinking cursor in the top left corner? [04:38] morphir_: i have yet to have gpsdrive recognize it [04:38] Flannel, it doesnt seem i need it anyway. I have over 700MB FREE RAM [04:38] jedimind: What are you confused about? Why do you think your primary drive shouldn't be mounted? [04:38] jedimind: no system can reliably check a mounted partition [04:38] memory used, 21% [04:38] i cant find flash for mozilla in the synaptic manager. is there another good way to install it? [04:38] ok now I know, ill remove the silly swap partition lol [04:38] so i cant run fsck on a drive that has fsck installed on it ? [04:39] dfox1, he should edit fstab to use his desired partition, correct? [04:39] thank you everyone for your help [04:39] bye [04:39] the game OpenArena comes from quake III 1.32 source? [04:39] noxix: there should be a browser plugin afaik [04:39] jedimind: you cant run fsck on a drive that is in use. [04:39] hello all [04:39] Can someone please help me open my tar.gz file? The commands from the guides are not working properly. [04:39] francisco, we can play games on Hardy??? [04:39] like always I need some help, My wife can not use Ubuntu, and she would like for me to reinstall windows, with linux staying the same [04:39] kingbilly: yep [04:39] noxix: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [04:39] jedimind: you can reboot into recovery mode, remount the partition read-only, then fsck [04:39] jedimind: Like I said, sudo touch /forcefsck and then next time you boot, everything will be fscked [04:39] nouMenon: tar -zxf bia**.tgz [04:39] nouMenon: what program is it? [04:39] jedimind: or do what Flannel said [04:39] legend2440 it's the sitemap generator for Google === ares is now known as Guest437 [04:39] but openarena looks diferent betwen it and q3 [04:40] i see, problem being i cant seem to boot this laptop consistently. which is why i need to run fsck but there's no guarantee it'll ever boot again if i reboot it heh [04:40] nouMenon: can't you just open them in the file browser? [04:40] tenX is that the word for word command I should use? I already opened the tar.gz i just can't configure and make it [04:40] please help!! does anyone use openvpn around here??

(the target system doesnt have any cdrom) ? [04:40] askvictor what do you mean open them in the file browser? it's a program. [04:40] nautilus needs paneview! [04:40] jedimind: well, fsck will run before much else is done, before any of the linux files are accessed.. more or less. Your other option is a liveCD [04:41] morphir_: i have tried that one and it isn't working for me. [04:41] im playing around with ubuntu for the first time and im just running it in VirtualBox. I can't though seem to figure out how to get the resolution above 800x600. I know im only assigning 64mb of video memory, but I should still be able to go higher than that [04:41] Flannel: yeah live cd might be a good option [04:41] nouMenon: tar.gz is like a zip file. You first need to extract the files. [04:41] im gonna reboot and see if it works - wish me luck [04:41] askvictor: I extracted the files but now I can't do anything with them [04:41] nouMenon: okay thought you were in trouble extracting the archives content. usually you should stick to the INSTALL or README supplied. generally a "make" and "make install" should do your job [04:41] morphir_: the only thing is i was using gpsdrive, no xgps package and havent configured one ...yet :) [04:41] !install | khajavi [04:41] khajavi: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways.

[04:43] Flannel: thank and thanks for all [04:43] nouMenon: is ther sth like a configure script at all? [04:43] sup all [04:43] nouMenon: what _is_ in the targz file?

[04:44] just playing with an ubuntu and apache and wanting a handy html [04:44] was wondering why i couldnt find out how to do it [04:44] tenX: there might be, there's a file setup.py I will try that === cary_jebus[UDCS| is now known as cary_jebus [04:45] I always thought installing new programs in linux was hard [04:45] morphir_: i admit i dont have much experience troubleshooting usb under linux [04:45] mocha: XM seems to be having issues with their online services. Some players work, others don't. I tried the MCE XM app in XP and Vista, but neither worked.

[04:47] nouMenon: at first this was only a guess. if you're not hitting any error msgs and cant even compile this might not be the right way. but if you need those things you cant install them via aptitude/apt-get [04:47] tenX: then how do I install them?

[05:00] mikejoconnor: Edgy is no longer supported, you should upgrade. http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu [05:00] pokerfacepenguin: if that is the port you connected the gps to [05:00] jahnkeanater: only you can answer that [05:00] and a new on ubuntu too..:) [05:00] where do i ask questions about ubuntu server? [05:00] i don know mutch python [05:01] SeaPhor: here, or #ubuntu-server [05:01] Flannel: Thanks, that's what I was afraid of [05:01] can somebody help me here... [05:01] #ubuntu-server [05:01] slushpuppy\:which end are you doing the transfer from? [05:01] SeaPhor: this channel or #ubuntu-server [05:01] frances: with what> [05:01] *? [05:01] Takeshi: I am doing the transfer from the ubuntu end. [05:01] is there a program that can convert music files [05:01] fo ubuntu [05:01] I have a `picky' question regarding fonts in Xfce4. [05:01] almostdvs: I assume by easy you mean not involving the command line? Coz personally I'd use something like rsync or rdiff-backup started by a cron job. [05:01] morphir_: how would I have known that? am I changing permissions willy nilly here? [05:01] OMFG [05:01] i installed avant-window-navigator or what ever its called through the terminal now what do i do to use it? [05:01] slushpuppy: grabbing files from a share on the VM, or copying to a share? [05:01] hehe [05:02] mikejoconnor: 18 months. Has been unsupported for over a month now. But that repo will work in the meantime (of course, it wont change day to day) [05:02] were the hell can I download screenlets [05:02] jahnkeanter: you could look into ruby also. basically you need to pass your files to a conversion tool, lame is good and will allow you to create proper id3 tag info also [05:02] slushpuppy\: grabbing files from a share on the VM, or copying to a share? [05:02] carey_jebus: type "sudo apt-get install screenlets" into the terminal [05:02] So guys, something has happened to my copy of ubuntu server, and now to my copy of ubuntu server with the ubuntu desktop modules loaded using apt-get that renders the system completely unable to boot, even in recovery mode. [05:02] Takeshi: copying files, from ubuntu, to a shared folder. [05:02] Basically, ever since I upgraded to Hardy/Xubuntu, the fonts in some apps (notable in the terminal and on audacious) look a little blurry. I tried messing with the anti-aliasing settings but to no avail... ? [05:02] Flannel: thanks for the help [05:02] thanks i will try those [05:03] anybody here?.....", [05:03] no [05:03] slushpuppy\:maybe try sharing the folder in ubuntu, then grabbing them the other way? [05:03] i installed avant-window-navigator or what ever its called through the terminal now what do i do to use it? [05:03] mikejoconnor: Also, once you've upgraded to Feisty, you may consider going to Gutsy at that time, since Feisty will only be supported for another four months [05:03] morphir_: I appreciate your valiant effort...i believe i need to research this more [05:03] Hmm, Takeshi, do you have a tutorial? [05:03] It repeatedly produces "exception Emask" errors on ata2.00 [05:03] Flannel: im guessing memtest doesnt come prepackaged? [05:03] what's the latest lts release? [05:03] frances: ask again (a lot's happened since your first try :) [05:03] gusty? [05:03] mikejoconnor: 8.04 [05:03] mikejoconnor: aka Hardy Heron [05:03] jedimind: Its on all CDs, as well as should be in your GRUB menu already. [05:04] * mikejoconnor nods [05:04] AndreusI: i acually had the same issue [05:04] Anyone have any clue why fonts are blurry on Xfce4/Xubuntu? [05:04] slushpuppy\: um....no, i don't tend to document my adventures in filesharing....or anything else i do....once it works, i usually just forget how i did it. [05:04] jedimind: It'll be the last entry in your grub menu, and it should be somewhere near the bottom on all Ubuntu CDs [05:04] Can anyone help me with a usb boot of the hardy alternate cd? [05:04] turns out my hard drive was dead [05:04] jahnkeanater: sounconverter in synaptic is pretty good. it has a GUI and can convert a whole folder of files [05:04] Flannel: is there anything i can run while ubuntu is running? [05:04] fredmv: you using the right resolution? [05:04] AndreusI: do you use encryption? [05:04] morphir_: how do i undo the chmod to reset remove the world permissions on that file? [05:04] is there anything like irkick for gnome? [05:04] It's alright Takeshi, I found one, thanks Takeshi, st1100pilot [05:04] jahnkeanater: soundconverter in synaptic is pretty good. it has a GUI and can convert a whole folder of files [05:04] dmb: No, the machine is new, and for some reason it went away after a while after the installation of ubuntu server [05:04] jedimind: No idea. But there are obvious problems with that (since Linux would be using some of the RAM, etc) [05:05] But it came back when I apt-get'd the modules for ubuntu desktop [05:05] don't know then [05:05] slushpuppy\: NP [05:05] morphir_: -rw? [05:05] It's sitting over the other side of the room repeating the same error message ad infinitum. [05:05] can anyone help me with using a projector on my laptop? [05:05] Flannel: how do i get into grub on boot? just hit esc ? [05:05] what's the DKMS build system? [05:05] morphir_: got it...thanks [05:05] jedimind: right after POST, yeah. When it says "press escape to view your GRUB menu" [05:06] ok brb again wish me luck [05:06] speaking of virtualisation....anyone heard any news about anyone getting 3d acceleration working in a windows VM under ubuntu? [05:06] jedimind: There is "memtester" which will test it in Linux, but not all of it [05:06] is there a way to mask gnome application so they show up in a program like irkick [05:06] I thought at first it might be an issue with my memory since I mistook its error message for a memory address, so I ran a full memtest. [05:06] if i want my windows partition to do backups, should i set that up before i install ubuntu? [05:06] is gnome able to change wallpapers like in kde with its slideshow mode [05:06] i read about a program that could do it a couple of years ago, but it only worked on certain multi-core CPUs [05:06] brb [05:06] ive installed ubuntu inside my windows... [05:06] askvictor, yeah, I don't think it's a resolution issue. It seems to be an effect of the anti-aliasing/sub-pixel rendering in Xfce. I just hate how it looks, altered the settings, and it didn't change anything. [05:07] Hi again, silly question, I don't see "Shared folders" under system -> administration :S. [05:07] how can I view my windows files inside my ubuntu?... [05:07] I'm running 7.10. In KDE, in system settings, clicking the administrator mode button does not take me into administrator mode, and I am not prompted for a password. Do you know what that can be about? [05:07] frances: mount the drive? [05:07] frances: ntfs-3g [05:07] pokerfacepenguin: you should have access to the device now, yes? [05:07] sounds like frances is running windows under emulation [05:08] so mounting the drive is not possible [05:08] Starnestommy: that works automatically nowadays afaik [05:08] frances: we are having the same problem :P [05:08] Hey what's the footprint of ubuntu installed? [05:08] almostdvs: should be seperate really... [05:08] darth: emulation? [05:08] Railer: about 2 GB? [05:08] morphir_: it didn't recognize in gpsdrive, so i removed what we just did to make it look like the rest of the permissons in those directories [05:08] thanks! [05:08] yes tenX [05:08] No, ive installed my ubuntu inside my windows, so ubuntu is my secondary OS... [05:08] frances> ive installed ubuntu inside my windows..

[05:10] :) [05:10] with samba frances [05:10] frances: we are still not sure about you're setup.. so it depends [05:10] or scp [05:10] yay [05:11] scp all the way ;) [05:11] any kind of networking file sharing thing [05:11] even ftp :) [05:11] or http :) [05:11] yay tenx scp ftw [05:11] darth: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [05:11] hahahah sorry floodbot, i know i do that [05:11] darth: i dont talk to spammers :D [05:11] lol beaten by a bot :) [05:11] this is my situation....I have 2 partition....C: and D: Ive installed my ubuntu inside my windows under c: I can mount my D: but I cant view my C:, it changed into a file system.. [05:12] Will Ubuntu update the firefox debs when version 3 is officially released? [05:12] BlueLaguna: it most likely will [05:12] BlueLaguna, yeah they will [05:12] BlueLaguna: yes in case a stable release is out [05:12] Alright [05:12] Thanks [05:12] btw i am new to ubuntu, i really love it [05:12] what is the equivilent of http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ for security updates, or is it just included in the http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ repo ? [05:12] frances: your partition turned into a file system? :D sounds like a challenge [05:13] mikejoconnor: there are no security updates [05:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=472056 <--- I have a problem identical to this person. [05:13] what I just know is that I can view my windows file under mnt folder in my filesytem but my windows file is not there [05:13] Starnestommy: thanks [05:13] The system refuses to boot at all, just repeatedly continues throwing those error messages until I reboot it. [05:13] It seems this is a widespread issue and not related to the drive. [05:13] frances: your windows file? :D [05:13] Starnestommy: Yes, that's it! Thank you very much for your help. [05:13] when i install ubuntu, I'm pretty sure i will be w/o internet until i set up my broadcom b43 card following http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=738216 can i install something to my usb key so that i can achieve this without an internet connection?

I cant find any forum posts about it. [05:36] guys - I want to buy a smarphone which runs linux or which synchronizes well with Ubuntu or Debian - anyone can give me some hints ? [05:36] * alan_m peeks in [05:36] why would both beagled and trackerd be running? [05:36] trask: i am a winxp as workstation and freebsd as anything-else guy [05:36] almostdvs, Here is the .deb you need in case you don't have the link: http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/pool/hardy-cafuego/broadcom/b43-firmware_1.0-0cafuego0_all.deb [05:37] even when i manually modprobe wlan it still doesnt appear in the netwoerk manager === naught102 is now known as naught101 [05:37] thank you, i was just casually looking [05:37] there's a range of nokias that run a scaled-down version of ubuntu on the market [05:37] ..... but ubuntu is a love-affair, everything is so goddamn smooth on this OS [05:37] acu [05:37] OK guys [05:38] I managed to boot in recovery mode without the error, selected "fix broken packages" and "attempt to fix X server", completely both, and that got me to the password screen. [05:38] hey [05:38] Don't know exactly what happened to fix the problem, but I'm assuming that the downloaded packages had something to do with it. [05:38] Jangari - thanks - I am going to google now again - it is so tough - I found that Google initiated an open source OS - android - for phones - but no info is out [05:39] the only thing i am missing in ubuntu is a decent handbook [05:39] I'm having trouble with my screen getting cut off when I hookup my Ubuntu Thinkpad up to a projector - can anyone help me? [05:40] darth: lol what is my biggest problem with it. its too smooth, i had to swap to fluxbox just to get it to be atleast a little challenging. Atleast on slackware you can spend your are forces to learn new stuff all the time. [05:40] ...and a section callled "this is how you recompile your kernel (without breaking stuff)" [05:40] ok that needed a trimming that last msg [05:40] trask: lol i had to get used to that too [05:40] Hi where can I get a changelog for the new hardy kernel -19? [05:40] i'm using Ubuntu hardy and ndiswrapper with a dlink usb wireless device. on every 2nd reboot my wireless does not work. can anyone help?? [05:40] so i just imagine ubuntu as a better windows [05:40] a much better windows [05:40] balleyne: are there keys/key combos on your laptop that change the screen output? [05:40] "dont forget you dont need to su in a terminal" [05:41] trask: i would have installed freebsd and fluxbox on this laptop and spent countless hours getting things to work if i hadnt gone the ubuntu-way [05:41] how do I turn off swap? [05:41] it is awesome! [05:41] darth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [05:41] askvictor: yeah, I have the Fn+F7 button (LCD) set to run i810rotate, which has got the toggle working. It's just that a little portion of the screen gets cut off on the right side, on the external (projector), which is a pain for presentations :S [05:41] BonezAU: What does dmesg say about your wireless card when it fails [05:41] tommy_, you asked that question earlier and were answered, did you forget? [05:41] but very very UN-challenging [05:42] BonezAU : you have to add your modprobe commands to startup [05:42] tommy_, swapoff [05:42] alan_m, i just deleted the swap partition. and rebooted. Is swap off? [05:42] yes tommy_ [05:42] luddite, what modprobe commands would they be? i used ndisgtk to configure the windows driver. i'm a bit new at this [05:42] tommy_, yeah it is if you did that. [05:42] alan_m, swapoff doesnt do anything [05:42] is it ndiswrapper? [05:42] darth, ok [05:42] balleyne: does the projector have an autoadjust type button? [05:43] balleyne: or you could try xvidtune [05:43] i have a kernel-module loading question... where do i put that i want my computer to load a module on boot? [05:43] darth, Hardy doesnt have a swap partion anymore as I deleted the whole partition. So it is smart enough to realise that and turn swap off? [05:43] darth: /etc/modules [05:43] BonezAU: sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [05:44] tommy: you could make a swap-file if you wanted to [05:44] luddite, oh of course, thank you I will try that [05:44] darth, I dont need one [05:44] i ran this 1GB laptop without swap for a week no problem [05:44] BonezAU: no probs [05:44] tommy_: restart? [05:44] askvictor, i rebooted after I deleted the swap partition., and hardy seems to be running [05:45] askvictor: ok, might check out xvidtune, it seems to be working now... but I don't trust it, lol [05:45] darth: i see windows as something very different. if your a heavy gamer thers little option. if your a lucky homeuser that doesnt game or have a weird homebanking ubuntu is currently what is recommendable. [05:45] the swap partition doesnt exist anymore, so im wondering if Hardy is still trying to look at the partition where it used to be?? [05:45] thnks askvictor [05:45] ohhhh [05:45] then nano /etc/fstab tommy [05:45] tommy_: it should be fine, but you could also look in /etc/fstab and delete the line which has swap as the third thing [05:45] and see if it still has the swap-mount [05:46] i need help.... for details please click here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5133027#post5133027 [05:46] !pastebin [05:46] i would appreciate your reply.....thanks.. === mini_g is now known as Jalathan [05:47] could you tell me dictionary for lunux [05:47] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[05:51] BonezAU, in /etc/modules [05:51] cheers mate [05:52] frances: the easy way: copy everything from windows onto an external hard disk; install ubuntu onto the internal hard disk, and copy back what you need.

If there are no major problems found, it becomes the release. If there are problems, then another RC is born. But to get out of beta and into RC it has to be stable.

[06:23] Janice8954: just entered, didn't see your question .. Audacity problems ? [06:23] Hello everyone. I was in here a few days ago trying to extract data off a damaged hdd. Well, I've found a way, but need help. Using dd, I was able to copy the hd to mine, but ended up copying the MBR from the bad hd and overwriting my MBR. Is there a way to copy the contents of the bad hd into a folder on my computer? If it help, I'm using an IDE/SATA to USB converter. [06:23] pulse audio? [06:23] JuzzyD: glxinfo | grep render [06:23] !pulseaudio [06:23] PulseAudio is a sound server intended as a drop-in replacement for !ESD - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio for information and installation instructions [06:23] not big ones i know. [06:23] juzzd: install BSD !!! [06:23] i don't care [06:24] Janice8954, that's the new audio back end on Hardy [06:24] Yeah, loads of Audacity problems [06:24] JuzzyD: if it says direct rendering : no, then you're missing something, maybe linux-restricted-drivers [06:24] Ah, crap. It did the same on windoze though. [06:24] SO I don't think it's the audio server really. [06:24] hello, anyone with experience using "share folder" in nautilus? [06:24] Any idea how to configure Jack properly then? [06:24] nope.. never used it. [06:24] It says yes and it does render, but not constant === ballzee is now known as Sinister [06:24] Anybody able to help me get videos to play?

[06:25] Just get VLC player [06:25] darth, Now a question why does my kernel 24-17 work but not the newer one? [06:26] yes, vls is a good idea !!!! [06:26] sortudo_78: thought I'd taken care of all that. but nada. [06:26] JuzzyD, do you have compiz/visual effects running? [06:26] can I access files on my local drive, from xp running in vmware? [06:26] That usually solves the problem, and it can be found in Synaptic [06:26] vlc !!!! [06:26] Filled-Void: because something broke in the new kernel or isn't compatible with it [06:26] Starnestommy, Should I be removing it then? [06:26] HappyHater: in what setup? [06:26] And should i still update my system using system updates? [06:26] why does java run sluggish in ubuntu and is there a way to make it run better [06:26] So no one knows how to Configure Jack? [06:26] I certainly do [06:27] Filled-Void: the new kernel's problems may be fixed sometime in the near future [06:27] HappyHater: vmware supports shared access on windows machines but it has been known for many security issues [06:27] HappyHater, yes.. but it's usually easier to use ubuntu to access xp in the vm to copy things across. [06:27] Juzzy: was that in response to my question? [06:27] what happen? [06:27] wta if i already downlaodeed it is it the same command [06:27] no, to Jalathan's [06:27] Filled-Void, thats a good question, which i can't answer [06:27] Ah, sorry then.

[06:29] JuzzyD, i found that under 8.04 with compiz running, anything running OpenGL flickers. by turning it off, the flickering stopped. however, i haven't taken the time to figure out what is wrong with the fglrx drivers, compiz, & OpenGL yet [06:29] Yes Jussi01 [06:29] ohhh, there we go, there's my answer sortudo_78 [06:29] * Jalathan is using a Radeon XPress 1100 [06:29] and then cog of destiny, sands of time, battle preps, victory or death, (the value of life gaiden), light [06:29] lol this takes a long time to load on my ds [06:29] thanks Jalathan, I'll give it a go [06:29] Janice8954: install qjackctl [06:30] !ot | Diaper_Rash [06:30] Diaper_Rash: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[06:35] there is a way to use VN 896 with compiz? [06:35] JuzzyD that's what I do, alt-f2 metacity --replace seems faster than clicking thru the prefs menu [06:35] Hey People!

I went to http://stickam.com/ which is a webcam site and Adobe flash player seems to not recogniz [07:10] e my webcam or microphone. I was curious what I should do for it to recognize them and to get my microphone working, thanks. [07:10] I know what they are, but as for 'dealing' with them, I deleted them in fstab.

This didn't happen 3 months ago! I installed ubuntu on this laptop since dapper and even [07:11] 7.10 and didn't see this, but now I see it although I reinstalled the system up to 10 times, still see it! what could the problem be? Also, when I try to switch to tty I get very big character, 4 words each line! Please help [07:11] even canon will work but for MP510 they dont have driver they use MP500 [07:11] which is not so sharp in printing [07:11] Elo [07:11] Can someone message me if they know how to fix the problem? [07:11] elmargol, thanks! didn't see that in google search! [07:11] My name is MIchal. [07:11] Kira: ok, untested, but cups root is /usr/share/cups (been a while since i fiddled with cups) [07:12] mohamed, looks like you need a propietry driver for it tp work pukker [07:12] I from Polish.

[07:13] drash: I just did. Not found.

[07:16] did you try googling it [07:16] Maybe this question would be more acurate: How do i set the owner of a file/directory in the terminal [07:17] Tann chown : file [07:17] yes, nothing showed up for trying to get adobe flash player to recognize your ps2 eyetoy or logitech usb mic [07:17] the rays are awesome [07:17] Tann: chown [07:17] Tann: check "chown --help" [07:17] nickrud: Tanks :D [07:17] So does any one seriously not know what the problem is [07:17] thanks** [07:17] i see ok wait let me see ImThatNerd [07:18] Tweaker I use to have that problem.

[07:25] install adobe for linux [07:25] so yeah [07:25] Okay i will google it [07:25] sure it will solve your problem [07:25] bpd1069, yes. Windows doesn't want you to be able to see it, so they don't add support for it [07:26] Thanks I will check it out. [07:26] they have adobe player for linux in adobe site itself [07:26] ok [07:26] Jman windows doesnt acknowledge ext3 partitions [07:26] install it then your camera will work [07:26] enjoy [07:26] Oh okay, thanks. [07:26] see you all take care byee [07:26] Seven_Six_Two: pardon? [07:26] bye [07:26] cause it thinks it's the only way to do things [07:26] bpd1069, oh sorry. that was meant for Jman [07:26] ward1983: if you dont know it or remember it, you need to check from the mysql config [07:26] NTFS :P [07:26] todd you've been bit by bug 204762 [07:26] Launchpad bug 204762 in linux "[Hardy] No DRI with Intel GMA 950 (aka 945GM)" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204762 [07:26] Haha, thank you also, 762.

Does anyone know a guide or something? :) [07:27] todd that will be fixed with the 8.04.1 release, I'm not sure when it's due === Alvin_FN is now known as ce_luphee_laperr [07:27] Jman, I don't know anything about it, but I think there's a project that you can install that will add support [07:27] Starnestommy: i got the following error: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade [07:27] Jman: using wubi ? if so, that installs ubuntu as one big file in XP under c:\ubuntu [07:27] You are great! nickrud !so what should I do then? [07:27] whoops' [07:28] Starnestommy: i mean: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [07:28] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [07:28] hi :) [07:28] lol [07:28] drash, Jman installed it in a new partition [07:28] todd you can wait, or look into the fixes mentioned in that bug report, look for the stuff about ppa archives [07:28] I don't know about wubi, but i installed ubuntu in a seperate partition. [07:28] i tried wubi earlier [07:28] kellyswan, with work, nt, 2000, xp, & vista can, however, the way that the patches that i've found have trashed my drives [07:28] Seven_Six_Two: ok, didn't get that [07:28] she loved it so much she's got me removing windows and doing ubuntu native === Alvin_FN is now known as ce_luphee_cute [07:28] that were ext [07:28] tmapj: put "sudo" beteween the && and "apt-get" [07:29] kellyswan, so wubi works well? [07:29] oh yeah [07:29] lol [07:29] hm. if i have a method in a class, is it possible to get the class name from within the method without using something like class::inspector ? [07:29] i was supprised the wireless works [07:29] kellyswan, is it like a vm, or do you choose at boot time? [07:29] dlink something or other [07:29] is there is a special command to tell about the processor tempratrure? my laptop goes down and i can't figure it out! [07:29] how can turn off my cli screen going dark (screensaver?) after a few minutes? (I am not in x, I am in the cli) [07:29] is the ATI x600 card supported w/opengl? [07:29] no its a NTFS loopback root drive [07:30] In-Sane: maybe acpi -t [07:30] Jman: maybe try this? http://www.fs-driver.org/index.html [07:30] but uses ntloader to boot it [07:30] thank you all the same! nickrud !Thank you! [07:30] ntfs support [07:30] perhaps this is not the right channel - is there a channel for graphics+ubuntu? [07:30] !lol | Diaper_Rash [07:30] Diaper_Rash: 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. [07:30] Jman: i've never used it so [07:30] I got it fixed thanks guys [07:30] its a real insall but its file \system aceess time sucks cause its a loopback [07:31] Starnestommy: after this backup, will the files that are on my system now but not in the list of packages be erased? [07:31] Green: using gnome-screensaver ? if so, try "gnome-screensaver --help" [07:31] cause you have to deal with ntfs limitations [07:31] kellyswan, but still far faster than cd..yes? [07:31] and ext3 within an ntfs filesystem, [07:31] prolefeed: thanks, looks interesting :) [07:31] tmapj: that just backs up installed pachages [07:31] TWeaker: what solved it ?

[07:46] eugen its whatever you set it to [07:46] frances: if you want to delete windows yes, now your ubuntu lives inside that so if you delete windows, ubuntu goed with it [07:46] frances, you can use a live cd to repartition before you install if you don't have anywhere to backup to, but you'll have to reinstall [07:46] loner start with ifconfig to see if it's listed as a device [07:46] eugen: ubuntu, and I'm not sure if there is a password, but that might also be ubuntu [07:46] i done nothing... just booted from ubuntu cd [07:47] and darkrai has a weird cry :\ [07:47] then try dmesg to see if it's mentioned in there.

[07:49] When I installed ubuntu I created a 2 GB sawp partition just in case. But I already have 2GB of RAM. How useful is the swap space really? [07:49] kelly_, but that's using them in vain [07:49] if that so.....can I back-up my ubuntu?....So when I re-install I could still have my installed programs?... [07:49] hmm..... my tv card is perhaps never going to work. === todd is now known as utnubudnai [07:49] more of exclamation [07:49] I installed Kubuntu on a USB-disc, but when I install it goes to that Virtualbox-screen [07:49] quantumelixir, not useful at all. [07:49] well how do i get it back on? [07:49] !cloning | frances [07:49] frances: 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 && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [07:49] quantumelixir, it depends on what you run, but I wouldn't recommend getting rid of the swap [07:49] freakwent, what brand is it? [07:49] (8:07:03 pm) i dont [07:49] quantumelixir, you probably won't use more than 100MB of your swap [07:49] videomate [07:49] I have this error when click on Gnome-volume-manager [07:49] kernel: [ 1460.304235] gnome-volume-co[8057]: segfault at 00000000 eip b73f9d28 esp bfbfd43c error 4 [07:50] e650 [07:50] tmapj: Do I know you somehow?

[07:50] quantumelixir: you will not need much of it for swapping, but perhaps as a resume space (if you use hibernate/sleep functions) [07:50] hai tom :3 [07:50] Seven_Six_Two: Why isnt it recommended? Even my pc is fully loaded it doesnt take more than 500mb of ram.. and considering I have 1500 more left.. why should there be more swap? [07:50] oh well mine uses a saa chip [07:51] drash: cant it use the normal ext3 partitions for hibernation?

If that's all you do, then you're probably fine, but try using a few instances of firefox and then fire up cinelerra [07:52] i know this is kind of complicated, but does anyone have any idea how to set up a wireless network or have a guide for it?

[07:53] darth: running a 64-bit kernel ? [07:53] drash yay [07:53] darth: Then what is swap really?!! [07:53] Seven_Six_Two, Gin who should I believe?!! [07:53] why will it hurt to keep it? [07:53] just have some swap there./ [07:53] trust us. [07:53] quantumelixir, stuff in mem that isn't being used much gets written to swap to make space for actively used stuff [07:53] it does no harm [07:53] :) [07:54] freakwent: yes. I certainly would like to use some of my hd for storing stuff [07:54] quantumelixir, if you never should more than 10Mb of your swap, just wipe the swap, it won't be a problem. unless you do heavy work on your pc [07:54] if you dont want to use a partition for it, just make a small swapfile [07:54] you can always add more swapfiles if you need more swap [07:54] ...space [07:54] how big is the HDD? [07:54] freakwent: 80GB [07:54] nickrud, I am the former todd!and I have registered my nick as utnubudnai [07:54] quantumelixir, with that size, I would wipe the swap for more space [07:55] just make a 128MB swapfile [07:55] nickrud, "todd" has been registered by someone else!

[08:03] akhil_: boot from Windows CD, recoverty console, fixmbr [08:03] HymnToLife, Ok.. Thankx [08:04] Seven_Six_Two, they are for contracts for work, its policy to lock the PDF before it gets sent, i cant NOT do it. so i need to have them locked before they are sent, no way around it [08:04] HymnToLife, When i boot now, i get a GRUB console.. cant i goto Windows from this??

LOL [08:05] fuck [08:06] padres cant score fucking runs [08:06] ectospasm, I think ctrl-f12 during the boot gives you output to see where it's stopping [08:06] Seven_Six_Two: OK, thanks...

I have a feeling someone has SWITCHED my RAM! How do I find out from Ubuntu? [08:08] (obviously, replace (hd0,0) with your Windows partiton) [08:08] Guest32271, PDFs are broken in the security arena so your policy does not make sense, you could try to get it adjusted on that basis [08:09] can someone tell me username and password for ubuntu live system? [08:09] ubuntu / ubuntu doesn't work [08:09] Guest32271, yeah. It's just what makes the suits comfortable. [08:09] there is no password (by default) [08:10] noob-africa: try "fd" in the commandline [08:10] eugen, try whoami in the terminal [08:10] eugen, sudo command << that is how you do it [08:10] anabolix: what should i look for?

[08:10] noob-africa: sorry "df" not "fd" [08:11] why is this so difficult to login into live system??? :-( [08:11] anabolix: df is for hard drive space [08:11] noob-africa: use free to see the amount of RAM [08:11] bacardee, what kind of system?

The fact that your even there raises some questions, are you sure your booting from the cd and not the hard drive?

When I came back I found that they were in the DDR2 slots, but when I put them in the DDR1 slot they worked. [08:13] oh sorry [08:13] swedekid: try running it from the temrinal [08:13] i must have missed it [08:13] swedekid, run from the terminal or add it to the menu manually [08:13] what would you like to know [08:13] HymnToLife: this means that someone took my DDR2 DIMMs and replaced them with DDR1 DIMMS. [08:13] swedekid are you from sweden? [08:14] bacardee, info about your system [08:14] noob-africa: you mean the _type_ of RAM ?

[08:30] moDumass: You can use rm -ri if you want to be super-careful. That'll prompt you for each file to remove. [08:30] hi... how do I totally delete all that has been imported to my "private" calendar in evolution? Need to have a fresh start [08:30] black [08:30] jasdevan, zzzzzzzzz ;) [08:30] Hrmms I have an intermittent issue with the flash player [08:30] darth, v?

[08:31] adi1y1, very carefully [08:31] anyone knows how to delete everything in the evoultion calendar? need a fresh start [08:31] noob-africa, that happened to me too. I had to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [08:32] darth, can you help me regarding mounting ntfs ? [08:32] adi1y1, maybe [08:32] you want it mounted via fstab? [08:32] thank you,darth [08:32] Seven_Six_Two: i did that, but it's not working... lemme see if it will now... [08:32] what is fstab ? [08:32] man fstab [08:32] adi1y1, do you have the 3g drivers installed for ntfs? [08:33] noob-africa: did you restart your xserver after doing that? [08:33] i have not installed anything yet [08:33] noob-africa: killall Xorg [08:33] so ive only had ubuntu installed for a week and i already have 3 versions of kernels at the log in lol, i think by the 3rd week there will be no more room at the grub log in screen [08:33] adi1y1, I think it is a file system tab, a tab where you can see your file system I supose. :\ [08:33] Seven_Six_Two,should i install 3g ? [08:33] adi1y1, not sure if they're installed by default, but you need them installed to mount ntfs [08:34] White_Lightning: pls read ur PM [08:34] thank you gin..

[08:35] I am just reading the website now...

[08:36] adi1y1, lsmod | grep ntfs [08:36] Jalathan: the point is that the kernel doesnt get upgraded and updates just add new versions and clutter [08:36] I get the error on my laptop, not my Desktop [08:37] Nicole_untu, Me!!!!!

[08:38] seven_six_two: hope its easy to configure [08:39] Seven_Six_Two: i ran the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command, and got some strange output...

[08:48] how do i do that ?? [08:48] gin: why does it just disapear on me....seems random since it also happened when clicking a link [08:48] Seven_Six_Two: i am new to this, i am not understanding everything [08:48] Seven_Six_Two: can you tell me the commands,pls. === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [08:49] MaskedOne, when it crashed, was there any site using flash?

The pci:0:1:0 part. Should I put that under "Device" in xorg.conf, where the other pci-part normally is? [08:50] ikonia: that is, replace it [08:50] MaskedOne, I have this problem too, but it happens less with ff3 rc2 [08:50] Seven_Six_Two:i am getting this error " Failed to access '/dev/sda1': No such file or directory " [08:50] shouldn't happen at all lol [08:50] Im trying to parade Linux as the pinnacle of stability but cant when this happpens lol [08:50] adi1y1, then it doesn't exist?

[08:53] MaskedOne, Opeta should be in the repo [08:53] MaskedOne, it's in the conical repo's [08:53] Seven_Six_Two:, i am able to read FAT drives but i cant read NTFS drives, but i can see the icons of drives in the explorer [08:53] adi1y1, do you have the fuse module installed? lsmod | grep fuse [08:53] Jalathan, not activated by default?

[09:07] adi1y1, you can only use the devices that are listed. they have to be in /dev to be mounted. You can't just make them up as you go [09:07] utnubudnai what are you trying to compile ? === xuecan_ is now known as xuecan [09:08] firefox! ikonia ! [09:08] Couldn't AquaFox's upgrade process be called with a force option of some sort? [09:08] utnubudnai: why ? firefox is in the repo's [09:08] hi all... i fixed my login screen problem... actually the correct settings were in xorg.conf.2 (which was a backup file). [09:08] It shows me this! ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/17850/ [09:08] back to square 1... thanks a lot u guys! [09:08] Seven_Six_Two: how do i find them in /dev ??? i tried but i couldnt locate anything [09:09] adi1y1, pata drives were hd(a,b,c,d)(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) before [09:09] utnubudnai: why are you compiling firefox [09:09] ikonia, just study the firefox on how it works! [09:09] utnubudnai: that error is quite straight forward [09:09] utnubudnai: compiling it won't show you how it works [09:09] I hope that I can change it! [09:09] utnubudnai, you need the devel packages.. [09:09] it won't show you how it works [09:09] bye for now [09:09] adi1y1, if they are listed properly in bios and detected during post, they should be the ones that begin with either hd or sd [09:10] adi1y1, 5 mins please. smoke time [09:10] Gin,I want to know how to get those packages! [09:10] hi, has somebody found any arrors on the recent ubuntu update(8.04)? To me the system gave a dependency error on kernel-generic... or something like taht [09:10] utnubudnai, use synaptic and make sure you have the source repo's enabled [09:11] utnubudnai: you are doing something for no reason and will likley break your system [09:11] Here's a question. How do I check two different HD on differ version files? [09:11] utnubudnai: why dont you tell me what your really trying to do and why [09:11] sinsun: what do you mean check ? [09:11] Seven_Six_Two: here all the partitions are listed "/dev/disk/by-id"....both HDDs have booted and take your own time [09:12] ikonia: I have a,b,c on HD1 and b,c,d on HD2 and I want to check how many different files in each HD. [09:12] ciao [09:12] sinsun: you could put the output to a file and diff it [09:13] ikonia: ls -alf > HD1 ; ls -alf >HD2 ; diff HD1 HD2 ? [09:13] ikonia, I want to modify firefox! I want a firefox with some links to some proper sites! And other people can use it! [09:13] sinsun: sounds good [09:14] ikonia: thx [09:14] ikonia, I think that's cool! [09:14] utnubudnai: firefox with links to proper sites ???? what are you talking about, [09:14] Seven_Six_Two: hey its hdb not sda [09:14] utnubudnai, midn to tell us more about the links? [09:15] adi1y1, hdb is one of the drives. if you have an extended partition, you can't mount that. [09:15] ikonia, sorry! it should be bookmarks not links! [09:15] utnubudnai: you don't need to compile firefox to change the book marks [09:15] utnubudnai, you want to make bookmarks for firefox? [09:16] adi1y1, eg. hdb1 might be extended and contain hdb3 hdb4 and hdb5 [09:16] Seven_Six_Two: hmmm......does that mea i cant mount a drive from secondary HDD ? [09:16] adi1y1, gparted or qtparted can show you the actual partitions that you have to mount [09:16] ikonia, I want add bookmarks to firefox! [09:16] utnubudnai: ok, you don't need to recompile firefox for that [09:17] utnubudnai: I suggest you stop now, before you break your system [09:17] utnubudnai, goto a site then click the bookmarks link at the topof FF or press ctrl+D [09:17] adi1y1, no, but an extended is just a container since you can only have 4 logical partitions [09:17] Seven_Six_Two: is it possible to ever mount those partitions ? [09:17] ikonia, No you do not understand me! [09:18] I seem to be having an issue with flash in FF. [09:18] utnubudnai: I do, you want to change the default book marks firefox ships with [09:18] utnubudnai, no,you are not explaining your problem properly [09:18] opera [09:18] adi1y1, yes, but you need to get the right partition numbers. how many partitions are on the drive that you want to mount from? [09:18] hi - can someone tell me how to make ubuntu mount a partition everytime it starts - thanks [09:18] roycruse: put it in /etc/fstab [09:18] I had flash working and now it just shows a gray box. [09:18] roycruse: or use automounter depending on your system setup [09:18] Seven_Six_Two: there many be around 8 partitions [09:18] roycruse, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=283131 [09:19] ikonia, I want to compile it and make it available for others!So they don't need to add those bookmarks themselves! [09:19] wait let me install gparted...Seven_Six_Two. [09:19] nickolaus, close FF and reload it,.should sort it [09:19] thanks all [09:19] utnubudnai: I understand that, and I'm explaining to you, you don't need to compile it [09:19] adi1y1, ok. sorry for now. I have to be at work in 12 hours. I need to sleep now [09:19] Seven_Six_Two: will be back within 10 mins because i have to lunch [09:19] utnubudnai, then you need to understand how to compile, how to package and how to distribute [09:19] utnubudnai: so I say again "stop" before you break your system [09:19] what's the root password? [09:20] fleebailey33: there isn't one [09:20] fleebailey33: ubuntu uses sudo [09:20] Seven_Six_Two: its ok,thank you anyways [09:20] says there is [09:20] utnubudnai, if you have to askhow to compile your probably not experienced enough to get this right [09:20] fleebailey33: where ? [09:20] Hi, I'm trying to install the drop-down terminal guake on Hardy Heron. I downloaded the .deb from the main site, but it says: Error: Dependency is not satisfable: libpango1.0-0, but I already have this library. What can I do? [09:20] adi1y1, I'll be back tomorrow night if you need help again [09:20] when i login [09:20] utnubudnai: again - you don't need to recompile firefox to change the default bookmarks [09:20] !sudo [09:20] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [09:20] fleebailey33, ^^ [09:20] fleebailey33: you can't login as root [09:21] ikonia, not entirely true [09:21] yeah [09:21] by default yes [09:21] Bodsda: yes it is [09:21] called single user mode [09:21] :P [09:21] startx [09:21] ikonia, no its not [09:21] fleebailey33: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:21] fleebailey33: single user mode is not logging in as root [09:21] ikonia, sudo su [09:21] it drops. to root shell. thanks [09:21] Seven_Six_Two: thats not logging in as root and incorrect synatix [09:21] Seven_Six_Two, thats not logging in as root [09:21] syntax [09:21] why ntpd sucks? [09:21] ikonia, then how to! [09:21] LimCore: it doesn't [09:21] ikonia, you can have GDM allow root to log in after you assign root a password [09:21] utnubudnai: the debian source package contains a default bookmarks file [09:22] Jalathan: yes, you "can" do that, however ubuntu is not setup to do that [09:22] requires a tick mark in one of the settings [09:22] ikonia: my clock is 800 seconds off. [09:22] while ntpd runs. [09:22] for hours [09:22] ikonia, ok true enough. doesn't even do root env that way either [09:22] LimCore: check your drift file [09:22] Seven_Six_Two: I know this [09:22] ikonia: it says 1.6 [09:22] well this is funny. i was just messing around [09:22] secen! [09:22] :PP [09:22] seven!* [09:22] ikonia, wow,.,.your gettin hammered dude [09:22] it works [09:22] LimCore: ok, so what servers are you syncing about [09:22] Bodsda: I don't think so [09:22] im on ubuntu right now woo [09:23] cat /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift cat /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift [09:23] ikonia, youve got like 5 people on your back [09:23] bacardee, it worked? noapic? [09:23] ill take a back [09:23] ikonia, doin a great job thoughm8 [09:23] cat /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift 1.872 [09:23] yes [09:23] anyone need help? [09:23] Seven_Six_Two: I'd request you never give that sort of command information out in future (sudo su) [09:23] ikonia: dunno, all is by default. [09:23] acpi=off noapic and nolapic [09:23] LimCore: ok, so thats why it's not working well, you've not set it up [09:23] ikonia: I want to have clock synchronized, not play with config files [09:23] ikonia: why not? [09:23] 64 bit version is installed and im using it right now :D [09:23] ikonia: ubuntu is for human beings or for ntpd experts? [09:23] Seven_Six_Two, sudo -i will alow you to become root in a shell session [09:23] LimCore: maybe checking why somethings not working before saying "it sucks" is a better approach [09:23] ikonia, in this channel sure, but I don't agree with withholding information [09:24] ikonia, So I should just change the bookmarks files!And then do I need to compile it? [09:24] Seven_Six_Two: thats not withholding information, just offer sudo -i [09:24] ikonia: if it doesnt work by default then it sucks for regular user [09:24] ubottu: no [09:24] Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! [09:24] LimCore: why are you always trouble like this [09:24] ikonia: well I looked into config file, it syncs with pool.ntp.org with seems ok [09:24] ikonia: everyone is, but most people just take it quietly [09:24] Seven_Six_Two, ikonia'scomment was merely stating that your command was wrong [09:24] LimCore: ok so pool.ntp.org is just an alias, it should find your quickest local time source [09:24] ikonia, ok. I thought it was sudo su -s [09:25] how can I search for which package provides a particular file? [09:25] Seven_Six_Two: no - its not [09:25] ikonia: omg. [09:25] LimCore: so do "ntpdate pool.ntp.org" [09:25] sudo apt-cache search [09:25] how does terminal say something when i open it? [09:25] like an motd? [09:25] askvictor, dpkg -S [09:25] fleebailey33: /etc/motd [09:25] ikonia: ntpdate[7943]: adjust time server 193.0.71.133 offset 0.003652 sec and? [09:25] LimCore: ok - so your clock is not actually off with that time source [09:25] askvictor, http://packages.ubuntu..com [09:26] ikonia: it is synced now, first time offset was 800 sec [09:26] LimCore: as you can see 0.003652 out of sync with pool.ntp.com [09:26] KRF: thanks [09:26] LimCore: type sudo rm -rf / [09:26] it works [09:26] KRF, double dot in there [09:26] LimCore: no problem, let it drift [09:26] fleebailey33: never say that in this channel please [09:26] fleebailey33 wants a kick [09:26] Bodsda, i think everybody knows [09:26] fleebailey33, dont ever suggest that -- or youll get kicke [09:26] LimCore: you know to ignore that please [09:26] ikonia: it was 800 second off [09:26] meh [09:26] [Epiphany] After feisty2gutsy upgrade Epiphany fogot its bookmarks. I replaced the ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks file with a backup copy but Epiphany does not show the old bookmarks. How to troubleshoot? [09:26] KRF, just checkin -- some people dont read links there given then complain when they dont work [09:26] why. because ubuntu users are only ones stupid enough to try it? o.0 [09:26] LimCore: I see that, but I can't look into it while it's not off, so let it drift again then shout [09:27] ok sorry, 500 not 800 =) 7 Jun 10:10:44 ntpdate[7736]: step time server 212.51.199.194 offset 573.092209 sec [09:27] fleebailey33: drop the attitude - its not needed and uncalled for, help if you want but don't cause issues [09:27] true [09:27] fleebailey33, if you want to discuss this tell meand we can go to #ubuntu-ops [09:27] ikonia, I read the man. thanks. wouldn't the way I suggested work fine for a quick command? I use it sometimes if I have to delete a file or dir. not for things like apt-get [09:28] Seven_Six_Two: technically works, yes, the ubuntu supported method (makes it easier to manager - no) [09:28] ? [09:28] Seven_Six_Two, sudo -i is highly recommended becuase it moves you to the root dir aswell [09:28] Seven_Six_Two: your technically correct in your command, but due to sudo's layout it's "more acceptable" to do sudo -i [09:28] fleebailey33: ubuntu aims to be for human beings, so it should work by default without reading RFC on NTPD, if you want to help to debug this possible bug then intall ntpd [09:28] anyone having problems using pre-released (hardy-proposed) updates? [09:28] LimCore: I'll help you - just left the clock drift again [09:28] ok. Thanks both. it's shorter too!! [09:29] un2him, no [09:29] ikonia: ok. I leave ntpd running then [09:29] un2him: no, what's seems to be the trouble ? [09:29] LimCore: let it get say 500 drift again then we'll walk it through [09:29] drash: not having problems, just wondering if it is a good idea [09:29] ikonia: hot to check the drift without updating it at same time [09:30] s/updating/fixing [09:30] un2him, yeah,they seem stable enough [09:30] LimCore: just do a "date" [09:30] Bodsda: thanks [09:30] un2him: okay, good question actually .. [09:30] un2him, although problems may occur,.,.it is unlikely but could easily happen [09:30] is everyone going to be in Portland, Oregon in July? [09:31] hi. since upgrading to 8.04 i can't write to a fat partition on my computer. i can read/write fine to a ntfs partition. anyone any ideas? [09:31] how do ou convert a .img file to iso? [09:31] Bodsda, drash: I do know that a recent problem with changing the wallpaper is fixed using hardy-proposed [09:31] un2him, noones complained about them in here afaik [09:31] and im using them [09:32] Bodsda: thanks, I think I'll take the plunge [09:32] un2him, good luck ;~) [09:33] im running into an error trying to install fretsonfire-game: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17859/ [09:33] ikonia, You say debian source package!do you mean a .deb file? [09:34] utnubudnai: no, thats a compile package file [09:34] utnubudnai, yes [09:34] no [09:34] ikonia, cant you just change the bookmarks in the .deb? [09:34] Bodsda: yes, [09:34] Bodsda: but you need the source package (not source code) to re-package [09:35] ikonia, oh, -- i see ty [09:36] is there exist some list of highlighted application for Ubuntu? [09:36] ikonia, then where could I get that compile package file? [09:37] johnnypea, highlighted application?? [09:37] johnnypea, What do you mean by highlighted? [09:37] Is there a way of granting access from nm-applet to the default keyring automatically without having to type in the password? [09:37] gramm: syntax error in that particular file, have you tried opening that one in an editor to check what could be wrong ? [09:37] utnubudnai: just to be clear - you don't need to re-compile the package, just edit a text file in the deb source package (not source code) you can get that package from the ubuntu repo's. There is a team in the channel #ubuntu-motu who can help guide you through it [09:37] recommended, best,the most used [09:38] !best | johnnypea [09:38] johnnypea: 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. [09:38] ikonia, ok thank you! [09:38] drash: i have, and line 167 is " results = ", and as i am not a programmer (nor do i have the time to learn and go through to figure out what should be there) i have no idea how to fix it... [09:38] hmmm OK [09:39] utnubudnai: an easier option maybe to submit and package update request, say "include these default pages" then when firefox gets updates from the ubuntu team, it's all done for you [09:39] utnubudnai: submiting an update request is much easier than doing it your self if your not happy with what your doing [09:39] Hola all. [09:39] drash: correction: "i am not a python programmer" [09:39] utnubudnai: eg: you could have broke you system if you carry on [09:39] ikonia, there unlikely to include some of the links unless ther *nix/ubuntu related no? [09:40] hi [09:40] gramm: okay, does the game work at all ? [09:40] Bodsda: I don't know - hence why I said "ask" [09:40] how can i manage services at boot up?? [09:40] please [09:40] ikonia, yeah ;~) [09:40] does services-admin works fine?? [09:40] [Epiphany] After feisty2gutsy upgrade Epiphany fogot its bookmarks. I replaced the ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks file with a backup copy but Epiphany does not show the old bookmarks. How to troubleshoot? [09:40] kyaneos: should do === Ja1athan is now known as Jalathan [09:40] gramm, i dabble in python,.,.anything i can help with? [09:41] and how can i see how sysv level i am in?? [09:41] bullgard4 maunally add book marks in epihpany, see if it stores them, if it does store them, see if your file has been changed (that way you can check it's writing tot he file ok) [09:41] ikonia, I'm sorry but I really don't know why my system would be broke [09:41] kyaneos: ubuntu doesn't use sysv init - but you can use who -r [09:41] utnubudnai: compiling and installing packages that conflict with the package managed version in #ubuntu [09:41] ikonia: does not upstart manage runlevels?? [09:41] in ubuntu sorry [09:41] kyaneos: yes it does, hence not sysv [09:42] mm ok [09:42] ikonia: and how can i see what runlevel i am running on?? [09:42] kyaneos: who -r [09:42] Bodsda: im trying to install fretsonfire-game, and i get a compile error (see here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17859/ ) when i try to install the package [09:43] thank you very much ikonia and sorry for my poor English [09:43] if i were to run ubuntu on my macbook, would there be a special version of it that i have to get [09:43] gramm, can u pastebin that file please [09:43] Bodsda, drash: the game at least starts though, so im going to poke around (setup guitar, etc) to see if anything breaks [09:43] kyaneos: no apologies needed [09:43] ikonia: I did add manually bookmarks to Epiphany. Yes, Epiphany does store them. I do not understand the word "tot" in your sentence: "that way you can check it's writing tot he file ok." [09:44] bullgard4: "to the" [09:44] Ah [09:44] bullgard4: the space was in the wrong place [09:44] Hi everybody [09:44] hi [09:44] ikonia: yes, I see. [09:44] dstan, As far as i know, you should use the regular version of ubuntu. I'm not sure if you have an older macBook with a PPC processor though [09:44] Where can I find a disk manager on ubuntu? [09:44] naw [09:44] Bodsda: sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17865/ [09:44] I need to know where Ubuntu is installed [09:44] gramm, thanks [09:44] those are called iBooks ;) [09:44] gramm: ok, if you pastebin that particular file (/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/hotwire_ui/scripts.py) we can have a further look, thanks in advance [09:45] hello, does anyone know how to configure the backend to mythtv using mythbuntu? [09:45] Anyone? [09:45] dstan, do make sure that you are backed up if you are planning to dualboot OSX & ubuntu [09:45] Where can I find a disk manager on Ubuntu? [09:45] drash: if you didnt see it, i just did. ;-) http://paste.ubuntu.com/17865/ [09:45] is there any package which contains a C reference and documentation for use with devhelp?? pleae [09:45] i'm trying to set up a backend/frontend... but the backend was never configured and now i can't connect to it [09:45] NemosNemos: install gparted, then find it in system->admin->disk manager [09:45] NemosNemos: gparted [09:45] ikonia: The writing to the file is ok. -- I presume that the error is conneted somehow to XML. [09:45] gramm: thx, missed it ;) [09:45] Thanks [09:45] I'll try [09:46] yeah [09:46] drash: np, you are giving me free help after all (and thank you for that), same to you Bodsda [09:46] i have time machine for that [09:46] ;) [09:46] gramm, try changing "results = " to "results = 0" [09:46] Another thing: VLC is better than Totem, but I can't uninstall the latter. How can I do that? [09:47] NemosNemos, sudo apt-get remove totem [09:47] Bodsda: should i then dpkg-reconfigure fretsonfire-game ? [09:47] NemosNemos: you can remove totem but you may not want to [09:47] totem sucks [09:47] gramm, no [09:47] caper1, no, totem plays [09:47] dstan, np, just talked to someone recently that borked his OSX install when dualbooting with ubuntu. timemachined to an ipod touch fortunately [09:47] true [09:47] caper1, a hover sucks [09:47] wha? [09:47] why? [09:47] caper1, a hoover sucks [09:47] Totem sucks [09:47] but after you install other players it wont [09:47] OK, so I won't [09:48] NemosNemos, theres no harm in leaving it there [09:48] caper1: totem uses gstreamer as backend, install the necessary gstreamer plugins and it plays anything you want [09:48] I don't even fuss with it any more and just use VLC or Mplayer [09:48] Drash, I loaded gstreamer, but it still cannot load .avi, .midi, .mp3 files [09:48] drash: it can use xine as well [09:48] Rythmbox ftw!! [09:48] Gstreamer is what screws up my other codecs [09:48] caper1, I agree with you [09:48] Bodsda: so, i that should fix it then, and i should be able to play the game (assuming no other bugs)? [09:48] this was a while back and I do not know if I would still have this conflict [09:48] VLC wins [09:49] NemosNemos, try vlc [09:49] hi. since upgrading to 8.04 i can't write to a fat partition on my computer. i can read/write fine to a ntfs partition. anyone any ideas? [09:49] vlc plays almost anything here :-) [09:49] Yeah [09:49] Ok [09:49] how do i set values with gconftool or gconftool2? i know the path to the key from gconf-editor. [09:49] broonsparrow: check your /etc/fstab file (just open it in a text editor) [09:49] gramm, yeah,. because the script is a text file it shoyuldnt need to be dpkgd'd so try it,.,. the only thing is if it doesnt work change the "0" to "False" [09:49] Trusty old VLC [09:49] NemosNemos: for those you'll need to install additional gstreamer plugins (look into the gstreamer-plugins-good -bad and -ugly) [09:49] dstan, sorry, to bork can mean to have created an issue/messed up something [09:50] The last thing: why cannot I see the partition on which Ubuntu is installed? In "Computer" I just see the WIndows Partition (220 GB) and a partition ext3 called "Filesystem" (where Ubuntu is). Shouldn't it be called in another way? [09:50] Bodsda: will do, thanks. drash: thanks. [09:50] gramm, lemme no how it goes [09:50] And in the folder sometimes it says "Access denied" [09:50] heh [09:50] i understood [09:50] :] [09:50] no worries [09:50] dstan: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:50] gramm: yes, report if it clears out the error [09:51] NemosNemos, thats the root folder '/' your home is /home/nemos/ [09:51] I dont think windows will recognize the partition [09:51] kk, was making sure all was clear [09:51] oh shit, lol, sorry. [09:51] drash: will do [09:51] NemosNemos, you need sudo to edit the '/' or anything above /home [09:51] Bosda, what do I have to do? [09:51] NemosNemos, what are you trying to do? [09:52] I want to see the two partitions [09:52] One called "C:" with WIndows on it [09:53] And the other one called "Linux" with Ubuntu on it [09:53] NemosNemos, in nautilus neither of these things can be changed tmk [09:53] is -19 more usable than -18? (in terms of -18 having caused issues with some installs) [09:53] Ok [09:54] But it is not so good to see a "filesystem" named partition [09:54] Where I cannot see the size [09:54] And things like that [09:54] Isn't it? [09:54] Jalatan: it should yes, best to keep -17 for a while just in case [09:54] my dictionary works only for english; i've added spanish in preference but it doesn't recognize spanish words? [09:55] NemosNemos, it doesnt bother many but sudo fdisk -l will tell you their size and you could sumbit a sugggestion on he brainstorm section of ubuntu forums to have this feature added to nautilus === zak2 is now known as llama32 [09:55] drash, kk, ty [09:55] k [09:55] thanks [09:55] livingdaylight: did you install a spanish dictionary ? [09:55] Can I ask another thing? [09:55] NemosNemos, your welcome [09:55] NemosNemos, of course you can [09:55] We are on a support channel [09:55] drash: i think so [09:55] correct NemosNemos [09:55] Ok: is there a way to install IE7 on Ubuntu? [09:55] drash: dict-es? [09:56] livingdaylight: aspell, ispell ? which one please ? [09:56] I've heard something on the Net, but cannot do that [09:56] NemosNemos, you would have to ask the wine guys in #wine but i think so yes [09:56] And what about installing tar.gz archives? [09:56] NemosNemos, not sure why you would want IE7 though [09:57] I prefer it... [09:57] NemosNemos, you do not install tar.gz files you unpack them and usually compile them -- whats the exact issue with tar.gz? [09:57] I don't know how to compile them [09:57] What do I have to do? [09:57] hello, could someone tell me as to which are all the instllation directories that Firefox uses in Ubuntu ? [09:57] I've extracted an archive [09:57] NemosNemos, id strongly suggest you try firefox for a few eeks because it is undoubtedly a faster more efficient browser [09:57] Bodsda, I know [09:57] NemosNemos, if you dont know how to compile you probably shouldnt be attempting it [09:57] But I don't like its theme... [09:58] And its management of tabs [09:58] livingdaylight: dict-freedict-spa-eng is what you need [09:58] NemosNemos, you can change the theme [09:58] how do i resize virtual box so its bigger [09:58] NemosNemos, and its tab amnaggement is similar to that of IR7 [09:58] when i click machine > resize it makes it smaller [09:58] hello [09:58] NemosNemos, there are ways to make firefox look and act like IE7 [09:59] drash: i installed dict-freedict-spa-en [09:59] drash: i need aspell? [09:59] really=? [09:59] how? [09:59] suhridk, ~/.firefox [09:59] suhridk, no sorry -- ~/.mozilla [10:00] ? [10:00] What? [10:00] Bodsda, thanks. How about /usr/lib/mozilla or /usr/lib/firefox ? [10:00] NemosNemos, why use linux if your gonna make it behave like windows? [10:00] what's difference between ispell and aspell? [10:00] NemosNemos, sry, this'll take a while, haven't attempted to do this for some time [10:00] the thing is I just uninstallted firefox 3, and i want to manually clean all the installation directories... [10:01] suhridk, in a terminal type locate firefox && locate mozilla | grep firefox to find everything [10:01] suhridk: No, don't manually do it. Do it through package management., [10:01] does anyone know? [10:01] the window is to small to do anything in [10:01] thanks Bodsda and Flannel. I uninstalled like this : apt-get remove firefox3.0 [10:01] livingdaylight: differences are mainly the same as in the paper-world, some applications prefer ispell, others aspell, have no experience with dict though .. is the dictd daemon running ? [10:02] Mr_Bad_News: install the virtualbox additions and then change the screen resolution in the guest OS [10:02] suhridk: No. you need to purge it, "remove" only removes binaries, purge removes everything. [10:02] how do i install the additions [10:02] suhridk: In synaptic, it's "complete removal" [10:02] !virtualbox [10:02] 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 [10:02] drash: yes, i added it from Applications/Accessories to panel and works with english, but i'd like to add other languages if possible [10:02] Mr_Bad_News: i think that page covers it [10:03] drash: if i had ubunt uinstalled in another language i suppose the default for the dictionary would be in that language [10:03] is there a plugin i need to get java working with firefox? [10:04] livingdaylight, try killall dictd to stop the daemon after you installed the spanish package, and fire the daemon up again, that's all i can think of [10:04] Flannel, so does that mean that Firefox 3.0 is completely cleaned up in my system ? [10:04] codyzapp: sun-java6-plugin [10:04] livingdaylight: yes that would make sense [10:04] suhridk: assuming you've done that, and removed your personal config files, yes. [10:04] Flannel, found in apps ? [10:04] livingdaylight : no [10:04] hi, how do I add an executable binary file to the PATH so that I dont have to be in its current directory to execute it? [10:04] codyzapp: Probably not, use synaptic. [10:04] Light-: Where did you put it? [10:05] Flannel, im new to ubuntu, where might i find synaptic :o [10:05] zvacet: yes? [10:05] Flannel: I compiled a program but I cant type in its name to run it, unless im in the directory I compiled it in [10:05] codyzapp: system > admin > synaptic package manager [10:05] k thanks [10:05] livingdaylight : you have to install support for that language under system>admin>language support [10:05] Flannel: its in /home/Programs [10:05] popey, how do i get the mouse to stop acting schitzo? [10:05] Flannel: its in /home/myuser/Programs [10:06] sorry [10:06] livingdaylight : this is from expirience I´m not native English speaker so I use my locale [10:07] Flannel, thanks. [10:07] Flannel: I ran its make install script which put it in /usr/local/bin [10:07] Do you experience something like "green-red" objects when playing movie with fglrx 8.5 ? [10:07] Flannel: but I still cant type in its name to run it from anywhere [10:07] Light-: don't put it there, put it in /usr/local/bin, or ~/bin would work too sure. .bash_rc is the usual method, and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1931 gives more details [10:08] Flannel: ok, thanks === selocol_ is now known as selocol [10:08] Light-: /usr/local/bin is the proper place for it [10:08] Light-: and /usr/local/bin should already be in your PATH (echo $PATH to check) [10:08] zvacet: i see. Would make sense that if i install aspell spanish or freedict-spanish -english that synaptic automatically installs language support or whatever dependency required. How should one know to go to system/admin/language support first? [10:09] I have had lots of problems trying to use plugins like (flash) for Firefox on my x86_64 system using nspluginwrapper.

Does anyone know why mplayer does not sync up right while totem is fine under xfce4? [10:12] livingdaylight : I don´t know how to that sorry you will find somebody smarter then me here [10:12] Light, is your firefox browser 62 bit or 32 bit ?

[10:23] the new compiz fusion in hardy repositories has a scale plugin which requires me to click on the screen edge; how can i avoid clicking?

[11:23] imaginativeone: did it work? [11:23] tech0007: both ideally [11:23] Jeztastic, a TON of stuff is posted on the forums, sometimes your post gets buried past the 1-3rd page before someone that knows how to help looks [11:24] g'day everybody, thought somebody might knowt he answer to this question, is there a reason l7-filter-userspace isn't a ubuntu package? [11:24] girard: its enough to substitute noauto in /etc/fstab for that partition [11:24] Folken_: what's that? [11:25] Jalathan: yeah, i know, but it's frustrating when you've got a problem yr totally stuck on. That's why I thought I'd try here [11:25] true [11:26] unfortunately, sometimes googling it is the only way to get an answer... -_- [11:26] tech0007: a program that lets you filter packets based on protocol, so you can easily block/shape bit torrent etc [11:26] tried that too! [11:26] tech0007: http://pastebin.com/d5e9e57d is my fstab file === taigh is now known as cyberfin [11:26] Folken_: hmmm, that might be useful for me [11:26] http://sourceforge.net/projects/l7-filter/ [11:26] o_o [11:26] what are the benefits to a custom kernel? [11:26] Jalathan - I rarely ever have to go farther than google to solve a problem. [11:27] I imagine it'd be useful to a lot of people, but I can only find it as source, which compiles fine but I'm just wondering if there are license issues as to why it's not a a package [11:27] amazing what I've learned in a year abbout linux just from googling and on the forum [11:27] is there a python method to publish an object? [11:27] girard: its not in your fstab. what does sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda says? [11:27] Jeztastic - Its amazing how much Linux teaches you about how computers do things [11:28] can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here? When typing "insmod dvbloopback.ko" I get: insmod: error inserting 'dvbloopback.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module... please throw me in the right direction! [11:28] SageLord, true dat! [11:28] Jaffarkelshak: worked like a charm [11:28] SageLord: i second that! [11:28] tech0007: ive added it to that pastebin page [11:29] good to hear imaginativeone [11:29] Sagelord: yeah - learned about BIOS, set up servers, god knows what else [11:29] Jalathan - I have only been using linux sense november 07 and I feel like I have nearly double my knowledge of computers [11:29] Jeztastic, ok, looked at the log, what's the issue with the reconfiguring your xorg(.conf)? sometimes a second take on an issue through google can help alot [11:29] and don't forget learning how a kernel is build :) [11:29] dont see anything tahts vfat/ntfs [11:29] girard: [11:30] hmm, seems netselect-apt is still broken. is their an alternative console program to automatically or maunally select a apt mirror without editing /etc/apt/sources.list by hand? [11:30] how do I switch from gnome to kde? [11:30] tech0007: its mounted atm on my desktop - cant i find out that way somehow [11:30] SageLord, i can understand that. i've been looking into getting it going for ~10 years now. only within the last year and a half or so did i start to really delve into it [11:30] hi guys [11:30] o_O [11:30] imaginativeone - Just install the KDE package from synaptic [11:30] you need to install kubuntu-desktop imaginativeone logg off and select it in sessions [11:31] imaginativeone: are you trying to install KDE? [11:31] it downloads a little over 100mb [11:31] I think I already installed kde... [11:31] It's a real simple problem, I'm not reconfiguring the file directly, I'm using the reconfigure program in 7.10 [11:31] girard: try this http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/10/25/hide-partition-icons-from-your-ubuntu-desktop/ [11:31] I just don't know how to switch to it [11:31] imaginativeone: a better way would be installing kubuntu-desktop - that way you'll get a nice kdm/gdm entry to choose from at system startup === codyzapp is now known as LunchBox [11:31] ugh :-( [11:31] imaginativeone: logg off, and click sessions and select it [11:31] girard: right click properties on that icon and see what partition it is [11:31] Jalathan - To be honest it reminds me of the days when I used DOS. When I used to putz around with autoexec.bat and config.sys etc. [11:32] I'm newbie enough to lose all of my work up to this point [11:32] Jeztastic, *phew*, 7.10 is much easier to troubleshoot than 8.04 for this [11:32] SageLord, :P [11:32] then I go a message via the terminal about thexorg.conf being backed up and I'm out of the program, can only type in the terminal [11:32] Jalathan - But on a much larger scale :) [11:32] imaginativeone: if you have kubuntu-desktop package (and dependancies) installed, in kdm or gdm (the login screen - whichever you use) you have the "options" menu, and there - "session type". just choose KDE [11:32] x-session-manager has a bunch of apps i can only stop with kill. is there any other way? [11:32] can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong here? When typing "insmod dvbloopback.ko" I get: insmod: error inserting 'dvbloopback.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module... please throw me in the right direction! [11:32] imaginativeone: what work, what have you lost? [11:32] a bunch of child apps [11:32] pain! so simple, not the kind of thing you can google easy [11:32] Jeztastic, ok, did you type in startx? [11:33] cyberfin: instead of insmod, try modprobe [11:33] tech0007: it gives me a uuid cant see a partition name though [11:33] nope, still editing not got that for [11:33] far [11:33] ok one sec [11:33] cyberfin: it *should* load the module dependancies [11:33] imaginativeone - If you have already installed the package, just choose KDE from the sessions menu in the login screen [11:33] i am getting lines in vidoes when compiz is enabled, i have been trying but so far no fix except disable effects [11:33] I can't bring up administration/login window on one of my ubuntu machines. I get a busy mouse then nothing. How do I fix it? [11:33] ok... I get: FATAL: Module dvbloopback.ko not found. [11:33] ... kk [11:34] x is not running [11:34] Jaffarkelshac, if you have an ati video are, you are not alone [11:34] cyberfin: sudo modprobe dvbloopback [11:34] cyberfin: for modprobe the module needs to be linked against the kernel source and put in /lib/modules/{kernel-version} [11:34] girard: how many harddrives u have? [11:34] cyberfin: without the ".ko" [11:34] my notification area claims I need to reboot for security reasons, but I don't recall installing a kernel upgrade... is there a way to figure out a) what I should restart so I don't have to reboot and b) clear that notification from the notification area?

[11:35] Jalathan: i have nvidia [11:35] Jaffarkelshac: vsync settings re-check might be worth a look, turning it off in compiz and activating it on your card natively is always a better option imho [11:35] guys, what option should I add to the kernel options in live-cd boot-up screen in hardy, so that it boots-up into text console? [11:35] * Jalathan smacks his head [11:35] ghostknife: can you ellaborate slightly? sounds liek you're shooting in my general directin :) [11:35] i'm out after this...

I am having a problem with my mouse, after installing ubuntu 8.04 it works for a while and then it stops! I unplug it and plug it to another laptop, and it works, I plug it back to the first laptop and still doesn't move until I restart the computer! How can I solve this? [11:37] Jeztastic, type in 'startx' [11:37] can't get from cli to the configure program [11:37] Does anyone know of a terminal command that will bring up the shutdown dialouge? [11:38] tech0007: its ntfs and 70ish gig so it must be sda1 i think [11:38] loller: and paste the whole output to the pastebin (not here!), and paste the link to it here [11:38] k [11:38] girard: yup [11:38] Jeztastic, so you can't use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'?

[12:20] Smegzor: If you want it very dirty and simple from the commandline: 'ifconfig eth0 up 10.0.0.123; route add default gw 10.0.0.1 ; echo "nameserver 10.0.0.1 > /etc/resolv.conf"' -- note that this will overwrite your resolv.conf (use double >> if you just want to append the data).

[12:20] Smegzor: That sets eth0 up with the 10.0.0.123 address and sets 10.0.0.1 as your internet gateway and nameserver. [12:21] natalisushka: you can partition and format flash memory with gparted [12:21] Woxdee: thanks. Its a new install so I don't mind overwriting stuff (so long as I don't overwrite with Windows!) [12:21] tech0007, How? I tried removing them under sudo rm -r [12:21] !gparted | natalisushka [12:21] natalisushka: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program.

That's brazen [12:37] Vorbote: aha.. I see [12:37] fanx. bye [12:37] soundray, I tried to make the point clear. [12:37] kahrytan: you obviously think you know much more than I do. So go ask yourself for help. [12:38] soundray, no i dont [12:39] soundray, What did you think i meant when I said there is no log after you suggested to go into recovery mode and collect it?

I'm sure you'll find someone else who will help you if you ask the channel again.

[12:59] NemosNemos, $ sudo aptitude install ntfsprogs [12:59] NemosNemos, then restart your gparted [12:59] NemosNemos, to be on the safe side, boot from the LiveCD or use a specialized disto such as PartedMagic or RIPLinux (there are more than you can shake a stick at).

If you are a beginner, I suggest you try with PartedMagic first. It has an enhanded gparted tool that works great with ntfs partitions. [13:03] Now the last thing: where can I find G parted on live? From Resource--> System? [13:03] NemosNemos, I beleive it's under System->administration->disk editor, or something.

(windows) (windows) (linux) (swap) [13:15] dr_Willis: which one has the "boot" flag on it? [13:16] mnemo, I belive the first one.. but i beliuve that grub dosent care about the boot flag. [13:16] ahh okay, I thought that might be the problem [13:16] dr_Willis: do you know if I can just edit menu.lst directly or do I need to run some command afterwards??? [13:16] hey ? [13:16] mnemo, on my all linux systems I dont think any of the partitions are bootable. [13:17] hey are there any chat progamms on lunix wich i can use for msn ? [13:17] What is a good firewall for Ubuntu? In Windows, i enjoyed an oldie Firewall (low resource, good monitoring) that would allow me to control all ports/activity going in/out of my net, not to mention any programs doing any action heh. Though i was using windows, so i was paranoid, i still would like a good soft-firewall. Thoughts? [13:17] rick_, Pidgin [13:17] mnemo, depends on what you change. The config file has settings that grub uses,, then the special #commented settings - that update-grub uses.. [13:17] pidgin ? [13:17] ill try [13:17] rick_, Yup, suppots hotmail, yahoo, etc :) [13:17] mnemo, be sure to backup your existing config. :) [13:17] kahrytan: start in safe mode (from the bootloader in the very beginning) and switch to vesa drivers. then uninstall all nvidia drivers with packet manager [13:18] dw_Willis: My system is already unbootable... I'm getting "grub error 17" at boot [13:18] Leefmc: iptables is the actual firewall, which is always on in ubuntu .. you're looking for a GUI frontend to control it, try ufw or firestarter [13:18] ok thanks :) i made this comp but i didnt have a windows, so i though lets try linix [13:18] kahrytan then restart regularly and use envy (http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html) to install the latest drivers [13:19] anyone want to test ekiga here? [13:19] drash: i have been wondering about firestarter. is there any security risk from it running in sudo mode all the time?

Are there settings that allow for it to notify me etc? I've installed many apps that have used inet and yet no firewall has questioned them. [13:20] hey [13:21] salparadise_: no need to run firestarter all the time, i won't advise that, just launch it when you want to make some rule changes [13:21] nemosNemos1: can you acces those ntfs volumes? [13:21] a moment [13:21] nemosNemos1, use system rescue cd @ http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page [13:21] I'm trying [13:21] why? [13:21] mnemo, i would say either the grub config is looking at the wrong filesystem, or the filesystem is currupted. from what i am reading. [13:21] drash: ah okay, thx [13:21] can you acces?? [13:21] Yes, I can access [13:22] I just want to resize that partition [13:22] Is it so difficult? [13:22] On Windows I would that in 2 seconds [13:22] is ntfs volume encrypted? [13:22] No, it shouldn't be encrypted [13:22] Leefmc: iptables is very robust (hence very complex) .. firestarter will report all you want yes [13:22] ekiga anyone, fancy a chat!

And possibly get descriptions, as to not install the wrong thing [13:27] Leefmc search at http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [13:27] Leefmc: try apt-cache search xxxxx [13:27] !apt > Leefmc (read the private message from ubottu) [13:27] dr_Willis: nah, I used the built in partition resize in Vista to shrink my NTFS partition and then I also removed another NTFS partition completely [13:27] nemosNemos1: you should testdisk ntfs volume [13:27] hi [13:28] You know what? I thought Ubuntu was faster than Windows for managing drives, partition, and things like that; but I've just understood that Windows is far better and easier. I'll open Windows and I'll resize the NTFS in just 2 minutes. Who wants to bet? [13:28] Stroganoff, ty. jrib, ty :) [13:28] or rather, jasdevan, sorry haha. Misread a line :) [13:28] nemosNemos1: the problem is bigger [13:28] somebody have installed ati free driver GIT version ? [13:28] And then I'll do a TESTDISK on Ubuntu [13:28] mnemo, so you just deleted some partitions in the middle. (thats why the #'s jump) eh? Its possible the uuid's have changed. but i think thats only if you rezise the linux partitions. [13:28] i am unable to access the microphone [13:29] I think these are the gaps which separate Unix Users from Windows users [13:29] dr_Willis: I believe there should be a big gap because I left unpartitioned space... because I wanted to let windows modify the NTFS and then let gparted expand my ext2 partitions later on (I wanted to let each tool do only what it does best) [13:29] microphone is not working [13:29] the fact that Linux is still too complicated [13:29] nemosNemos1, you are now in the realms of discussion not problem solving please stop that is offtopic [13:29] PLEASE somebody have installed ati free driver GIT version ? [13:29] :( [13:29] nemosNemos1: run check disk on windows [13:30] TuniX12, remind him that MS has not released any specs on ntfs for linux.. and hes lucky to even be able to read the disks. :) [13:30] TuniX12, heh.. oh he allready left.

Not an app in my default repositories. [13:38] is there a way to make the caps lock key behave as an extra alt gr key? [13:38] drash: that fixed it... thank you VERY much [13:38] Kitu: if you can ruun compiz than you have 3d enabled [13:38] I had already fixed menu.lst but it was also necessary to run the "setup" command from the grub command line it seems [13:38] lance consider all of these hints to make your microphone work: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=238820 [13:39] mnemo, so the empty space was still being numbered? goofing you up? or what exactly webt wrong?

[13:39] TuniX12, how to reinitialize free driver ? [13:39] jasdevan, In other words, ubuntu comes with default repos. Those stink for Blender heh. Blender being at a new version, i need to upgrade it but the default ubuntu repositories have Blender245, i think thats a whole month late IIRC. So i was talking last night, and i was old Blender might actually have its whole own repository it maintains. What would i search for? ("apt-get repository"? "package manager repository"?) [13:39] jrib: i do but they dont support video call [13:39] TuniX12, fglrx is free driver ?

The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. [13:40] ok [13:40] jasdevan, Hope you got that all, i think XChat has a bad line count heh. [13:40] msn ? [13:40] euh [13:40] tuniX12: does it support video call [13:40] ? [13:40] im amazed that people install IM clients and want to voice/video chat.. then they go on their Cell Phone and want to Text Message each other... :) [13:40] free clone of MSN [13:40] AMSN [13:40] lol [13:40] so [13:40] ompaul, When it comes to features, newer is better in 3d apps. [13:40] dr_Willis: lol, but not ubuntu related [13:40] drash what's pasuspender? [13:40] ompaul, 3d apps usually make huge leaps between versions. [13:40] kitu: i use amsn but it has no video call [13:40] BCM43, its funny because its true.... :) [13:40] TuniX12, what's the package to installe to be sure that free driver is installed and actived ?

[13:41] kitu: with amsn???? [13:41] Leefmc: I got it, sorry I misunderstood your original question. I'd suggest google, honestly. Or if it's that important to you to stay with the latest version, consider compiling from source. [13:41] yes [13:41] shenlong: it's a pulseaudio command to move itself out of the way of any application that doesn't support it, without killing things so any other ap that does work with it can keep on tuning in as well [13:41] marshall: which problem? [13:41] dr_Willis: since I deleted one my NTFS partitions the index in menu.lst was wrong... my linux partition used to be (hd0,2) but when I deleted the extra NTFS partition I had my linux partition at (hd0,1) instead.... I had already figured out how to boot a livecd and update the menu.lst chaning (hd0,2) into (hd0,1) but that was not sufficient.... the final step that fixed it for me was starting the grub command line tool using "sudo grub" and then running [13:42] newk, i have problem with micro i believe but visio work [13:42] it's not very important for the micro [13:42] i can resolve the problem [13:42] TuniX12, i open appearance preferences and try to change the background. the image flickers but nothing happens [13:42] does somebody install kiba-dock?

[16:15] rick_ : are they deb files or someting else [16:15] ill check [16:15] Russian: ok the "direct rendering: No" line tells you that it's not using the nvidia binary driver.... the open source one that ships with ubuntu is for 2d rendering only, thus it doesn't perform direct rendering [16:16] !restricted [16:16] 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 [16:16] socr : lame liblame I think [16:16] Emess: im not sure of anything, according to the ubuntu wiki i should use nvidia.glx [16:16] .exe .run and .package fileś [16:16] !nvidia [16:16] !components | rick_ [16:16] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:16] rick_: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[16:16] !paste [16:16] 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) [16:16] Hmmm, I'm not to sure then alado2, I don't really use ubuntu....

[16:17] My Firefox 3 (Hardy) keeps telling me to restart when I go to the add ons. Reinstalling through Synaptic doesn't change anything.

Does anyone know of any references for XChat commands. [16:21] oops... i guess i should make longer messages... but anyway x keeps restarting when i am typing something and i have to relogin but it just keeps happening [16:21] rick_, this is a sign you MIGHT want to spend an hr or so with some Linux basics web sites. :) You are trying to do a sort of advanced 'thing' [16:21] rick_: just to test it... if that works, you can then do it with alt-f2 [16:21] I went to their site but it does not show me how to access files or anything of the sort [16:21] Russian: i'm at a loss... sorry [16:22] twistedoblivion, the xchat.org site has docs.. what do you mean by access files? [16:22] mDemocritus: k thanks anyway =) [16:22] My Firefox 3 (Hardy) keeps telling me to restart when I go to the add ons. Reinstalling through Synaptic doesn't change anything. Does anyone know how to "completely" remove Firefox 3 from Hardy, so I can get rid of this? [16:22] twistedoblivion: http://xchat-win32.berlios.de/setvars.html [16:22] kumarphilly: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.log [16:22] ye it works tkx [16:22] twistedoblivion, and most IRC clients have rather standard IRC commands.. [16:22] Hi I've been running multi-boot systems for a while, can I get any advice on dualbooting with windows vista when installing windows vista last.. and a way to be able to wipe and reinstall windows without overwriting the MBR [16:22] Not to mention, I just left Windows behind (hurray), and I am now an Ubuntu user [16:22] mDemocritus, ok [16:22] twistedoblivion, http://xchat.org/docs/ seems to work for me [16:22] is it possible to load grub back into the MBR from windows? [16:22] JarG0n, when you add extensions you must restart firefox [16:22] sluxor, generally the advice is dont but it is possible il find you a link [16:22] I appreciate all the help!!! Will be looking into all suggestions, thanks in advance [16:23] bazhang_> I did, but it keeps telling me to restart anyway. I've even rebooted. [16:23] kumarphilly: if that file doesn't exist, try /var/log/Xorg.0.log [16:23] twistedoblivion, http://xchat.org/docs/ seems to work for me [16:23] Is getting a filesystem inconsistency during the routine drive chek a erious problem? [16:23] sluxor no but you can use a live cd to do it [16:23] bazhang_> any relation to Ba Gua Zhang ? [16:23] ok [16:23] Thanks dr_Willis and ompaul [16:23] according to synaptic, I do not have firefox-2 installed, and firefox 3 is installed. When I select firefox from the applications menu, firefox 2 starts up. How do I fix this? [16:23] sluxor, after you install windows you will not be able to boot either OS unless you follow this -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [16:23] were do my downloads go ? [16:24] wich map [16:24] be back in 10 minutes... mDemocritus will you be around? [16:24] rick_, downloads by default to ~/Desktop [16:24] ok [16:24] rick_, map? depends on how/what you used to download them. :) [16:24] thanx Bodsda i was looking for a direct page for it :) I would of probably figured it out but was too lazy' [16:24] mDemocritus: Maybe its beacuse I am running x64? [16:24] Russian: could be... [16:25] sluxor lol well I learned something new [16:25] sluxor, the best way to do it is google your question i found that link with -- "how to fix ubuntu after vista install" [16:25] kumarphilly: i'll still be in the channel, but i'm at work, so no promises about replying right away... we're pretty dead right now though, so i should be available [16:25] What is the best way to "manually fix" a broken filesystem as fsck asks me to? [16:25] ok [16:25] how do i get the latest firefox? [16:25] windows is a lot less complicated :P [16:25] quantumelixir, i tend to boot a live cd and run 'fsck' on the filesystems [16:25] mDemocritus, got it... http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d62219ce4 [16:25] rick_, No its not. :P [16:25] FFForever, you can download from the mozilla website for the *latest* build or get the latest stable release from synaptic [16:25] dr_Willis: Its happend a few times to you? file system inconsistencies? [16:26] Microsoft Windows likes to take over your partition. I think it's an antitrust issue that needs to be taken up by the courts. [16:26] dr_Willis: How serious is it really? [16:26] rick_ not really you just know it better [16:26] haha ok :p [16:26] well i dont have any chose so :P [16:26] * kumarphilly brb [16:26] how dose one compile the latest b uild? [16:26] quantumelixir, over the last 13 years.. a few times.. given the total disasters ive had under windows.. linux beats it 1000000% [16:26] hi [16:26] rick_, the thing you call complicated about linux is actually choice -- you have 100 times more with linux so you become confused [16:26] hi, i have a problem with a bash script. I have the following code if [ "$perform" = "yes" ]; then [16:26] OUTPUT="$out |channels=\"$channels\";calls=\"$calls\";5;0;0" [16:26] else [16:26] OUTPUT="$out" [16:26] fi [16:26] sanya: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [16:26] echo $out [16:26] rick_, Theres always a choice. [16:26] dr_Willis: When does it happen exactly? [16:27] i wanted to format a external harddrive with ext3 now it has dafult delivered FAT32 [16:27] sanya, pastebin it [16:27] Does "Upgrading" reset alot of configs? [16:27] !nvidia [16:27] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [16:27] i plugged the drive in and made sudo cfdisk /dev/sdg [16:27] Bodsda that about sums it up [16:27] but which number do i need and how to i make the fs? i rememebr somethign with fsck [16:27] quantumelixir, hard drives are the MOST unreliable part of a PC. Stuff happens.... [16:27] sanya, specialised bash questions can also be asked in #bash as not many people in this room have a high level bash knowledge, some do but not all [16:27] rick_ : when you get morefamiliar with linux you will share dr_Willis opinion [16:27] fsckd, yep [16:28] dr_Willis: how serious is a file system inconsistency? [16:28] ok.. thanks, i'll ask in #bash [16:28] quantumelixir, i imagine it depends on how inconstant it is [16:28] dr_Willis: Mine says 0.3% of the files are non-contiguous [16:28] how do I remove firefox 2 from my machine so that I can use firefox 3? I have already removed firefox 2 in synaptic, but when I run firefox from applications, I get firefox 2 [16:29] dr_Willis: That, and lot more blocks and sizes.. but thats all I can remember [16:29] quantumelixir, that is not bad [16:29] Hey all, my CPAN is broken. How do I get rid of it and reinstall it? Do I just aptitude remove perl5? [16:29] nibsa1242b, you need to enable the "hardy proposed" repo then install FF3 [16:29] quantumelixir, that has nothing to do with inconstancyt [16:29] ompaul: ok.. thanks [16:29] Hi! I need to build a kernel module against the Ubuntu 8.04 kernel. In redhat-like distros, you usually have a kernel-devel package which contains enough kernel source for you to do kernel development. Is there a kernel devel package in Ubuntu? [16:29] dr_Willis: Then? [16:29] !kernel [16:29] 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 [16:29] quantumelixir, boot live cd, run fsck on the unmounted filesystems to check them.. reboot [16:30] anyone having problem with slow motion video playback?

(it wont recognize them in the global hotkeys area) [16:30] is firefox3 RC1 pretty stable? anyone have problems with it? [16:30] dr_Willis: I dont think I have my livecd with me right now too [16:30] un2him, how did your delve into hardy proposed go? [16:30] Bodsda: I thought firefox 3 was in Hardy by default. Synaptic reports the firefox version as 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 [16:30] I am running xvnc4server and connecting via xvnc4viewer.. I am following the guide in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=259448 but how does one disconnect and later resume the session? Every time I disconnect from the vnc server my session dies [16:30] nibsa1242b, FF3 beta 5 was default [16:30] Bodsda: no problem [16:31] !kernel | hxu (more info for it) [16:31] hxu (more info for it): 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 [16:31] :S when i slik on WoW it geths an memory error [16:31] Hey [16:31] klick* [16:31] i use hardy [16:31] legend2440, its alittle unstable IMO [16:31] dr_Willis: When exactly does such a problem arise? What shouldnt I do from now on? [16:31] hxu: then sudo apt-get build-dep linux-source [16:31] legend2440, its better then any previous versions [16:31] I remember looking through files that people had and being able to download them, but don't remember how to do that anymore [16:31] Bodsda: ok... my point is instead of getting FF3 beta when I click on firefox, I get firefox 2.0.0.14, how do I fix that. [16:31] my wireless card works [16:31] but now the wireless led doesn`t light up [16:31] hxu: that will get you the source [16:31] fsckd: ok thanks. guess i'll wait then [16:32] it does so on other distros [16:32] Привет всем [16:32] i cannot play videos from bbc. stuck in very slow motion. [16:32] rick_, your questions regarding WoW and wine are probably best addressed in #winehq [16:32] How does one drop and later resume a vnc session? [16:32] hxu: pardon me... for hardy, it's sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r) [16:32] hxu: then apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) [16:32] п буржуйски говрят...

[18:11] nickrud: yes, metacity --replace works [18:11] gnychis: what are you wanting to find out specifically? [18:11] davi2: grub error 17 usually means that grub can't mount some partition... for instance if you have ubuntu on the 3th partition on the first disk then grub will point to (hd0,2) .... if you clear all partitions and install ubuntu into the first partition you must make sure that grub points to (hd0,0) instead [18:11] ok systat [18:11] i cant get my video driver to work and its driving me up the wall [18:11] What is best Commodore 64 emulator ?

On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). [18:14] That is the problem [18:14] davi2: the most important part is that you start up the grub command line and run the "setup" command so that it writes the proper "root" back into your boot sector [18:14] enterneo then try the install again [18:14] nickrud: I see... that could take a while :P thanks though [18:15] ALL: Nothing didn't worked on my laptop when I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10, with 8.04 everything works :p [18:15] otarid you should talk to crimsun about sound, he is way above me on this stuff [18:15] crimsun: where's that located?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [18:35] why scrolling speed is jerky in any browsers in ubuntu? [18:35] does matter the order the partitions appear listed in the fstab file?

[18:35] lol, sorry, i just need to give the HD boot a spin ASAP [18:35] Starnestommy, yea [18:35] davi2: the fstab is not used until linux has actually started booting... grub only uses /boot/grub/menu.lst [18:35] pen: does scrolling work with compiz disabled? [18:35] musikgoat1: mDemocritus yeah, this is some qwest deal, and that guy saying to wget from qwest. I'll try it. [18:36] i actually dont have that file either!!

[18:37] 2 disks, 1 SATA> nd 1 IDE [18:37] Starnestommy, but if I go to some websites with pictures, then the scrolling speed will reduce significantly [18:37] Starnestommy, or any CSS sites i think [18:37] Drk_Guy: it may be that the vista boot loader is on the other disk, and thats whats set in your bios as the first boot disk [18:37] pen: try disabling smooth scrolling [18:37] davi2: okay now im just totally guessing here but maybe "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" will install it :> [18:37] Drk_Guy: go into your bios and change the first boot disk to the other disk and see if grub shows up [18:38] The first one is the SATa one [18:38] hd0, but it wont install [18:38] Starnestommy, I did that and the slow sites are still slow [18:38] Is there any tool to wipe out the MBR?

[19:21] the problem is this: when I restart, it automatically tries to connect to different wireless networks [19:21] owen1: you shouldn't need another swap then [19:21] is there a way to set it so it connects to my network by default? [19:21] jjnova: does the screen blank? or just freeze with an image? [19:21] Where M$ uses NTFS as a filesystem what system does Ubuntu use?

[19:27] lol [19:27] jjnova: hm... live CD for hardy runs the -16 kernel, if it works, I don't think that's your issue.

[19:30] umn1 check and uncheck roam I guess [19:30] yeah, ubuntu's really stable now, except for the occasional "black screen of death"... out of nowhere, everything goes blank, all buttons stop working, the only thing you can do is open and close the CD drive, or hard-reboot [19:30] anybody give a hand with multiboot grub nonsense? [19:30] Mecha25: i havent had that prob yet...:) [19:30] Yeah I've poked all through the manual configuration and that seems like what I'm after, but if it's set to a manual configuration I get no connectivity (even though it's set to use the exact same connection info as when I added it in roaming mode) [19:31] Mecha25,Well, at least you know it's jacked with the screen goes black, instead of the mouse still be responsive and nothing else [19:31] so I suppose the crux of my issue is the fact that manual wireless configuration doesn't seem to work, even though I can connect fine in roaming mode [19:31] hi.

[19:47] no... k3b is fine... try burning at lower speeds, how old is the optical drive [19:48] unable to open "session" [19:48] rayray: i used k3b last time i burnt a disc, its been a little while since i did it though, and i also just tried brasero [19:48] rayray: err. nothing [19:48] After gutsy2hardy upgrading the LANG=C prefix has no effect any more. But the prefix LC_ALL=C functions. How to troubleshoot? [19:48] lapinux:: alcohol swab the eye maybe .. has fixed me before [19:49] lapinux :: and like musikgoat said .. try slow speeds or a disk crom the bottom of the stack [19:49] !netsplit [19:49] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [19:50] rayray: its odd that it passes simulation but not a normal burn, i did notice when it simulates it doesnt do the "optimum power calibration" that the normal burn does [19:50] well I give simulation zero credit ... [19:50] hi, i solved my grub problem finally by formating my first partition with gparted livecd [19:51] lapinux :: imo its a joke as I see your situation a lot [19:51] it seems ubuntu livecd could not format the partition correctly [19:51] rayray: whats a joke, that people are having these sort of problems? [19:51] lapinux:: no .. simulation burn .. [19:51] rayray: i think its working [19:52] rayray: at 8x for a 52x disc [19:52] how do I change the driver used with my wireless card? I have installed the ndiswrapper driver as the default one is broken but I don't know how to apply it. any ideas?

[19:52] lapinux :: I pass simulation all the time and chew up discs at high speed .. have to go to 2x for dvds [19:53] rayray: nope, i forgot to uncheck simulate, time to try again [19:53] rinaldi_: you'll have to make sure the built in one is blacklisted, then make sure ndiswrapper loads on boot [19:53] why does my grub folder disapear from /boot? [19:53] rinaldi_: search ubuntu docs for blacklisting and for adding a module to boot [19:53] bobby jindal [19:53] CyD_: how do I blacklist the driver? I have ndiswrapper set to load on boot [19:53] hello all is it safe to installgrub while the system is booted onto local hard disk? [19:53] therealballchalk: heck no [19:54] Mecha23 how would i install stage1 and stage2? [19:54] CyD_: ok thanks [19:54] rinaldi_: you'll add a file in.. /etc/modprobe.d [19:54] at least I don't htink so. I'm no expert. I just know the last time I tried to install grub from inside ubuntu it broke my MBR [19:54] rayray: well, it looks like the 8x burn is going to work [19:54] !netsplit [19:54] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[20:05] emo :: boot to previous version in grub [20:05] WarPriest: no [20:05] rayray: Okay. And when do you think it'll be fixed? [20:06] emo: ya because it is pre updates [20:06] D: [20:06] amarok says "Xine was unable to load audio drivers" [20:06] WarPriest: what is the filesystem and what data is on it? [20:06] How Do I Get Hardy To See My External Drive?? [20:06] pls help me ppl [20:06] data is 25GB+ of music and movies [20:06] WarPriest: if the file system isnt NTFS or fat32 it wont be able to read from the drive [20:06] curiosity how do yall think about OpenSolaris? anyone tried it? [20:06] rayray: my firefox, session, and shutdown button not working properly [20:06] emo: sorry .. I have no idea .. [20:06] theRealBallchalk: i tried it and gave up due to lack of hardware support [20:06] WarPriest: transfer to external [20:07] WarPriest, yes but if the filesystem is ext3 windows won't be able to recognize it.. [20:07] WarPriest: what filesystem? [20:07] rayray: help [20:07] ferronica: you said its because of updates .. just don't use the updated version .. boot from pre-update version in grub [20:07] icewaterman, how do i check? [20:07] is it mounted? [20:07] yeah [20:07] it is [20:07] rayray: u mean kernel 16 [20:07] WarPriest: open a console and type mount [20:07] hi [20:08] there a little windows program you can install that make windows able to mount ext3 partitions as ext2.. can't recall its name though. works great. [20:08] Could somebody please help me get the internet working on 8.04? Ever since I updated I can't use wireless or wired. Yes, I have a broadcom. [20:08] rayray: ?????? [20:08] what filesystem is best for a 3GB drive? [20:08] WarPriest: then look for the line representing your second drive [20:08] ferronica :: I guess .. one higher on the list .. (err two higher) [20:08] /dev/sdb1 on /media/Music_movies type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [20:08] rayray: ya there are total three [20:08] skyhawk: depends on what you want to do with it - if you're ever going to want to plug it in to a windows machine then use fat32 [20:08] hmm [20:08] skyhawk: otherwise ext3 is probably a safe bet [20:09] WarPriest: could be ntfs. [20:09] ferronica :: I remember everyonther being resue or something .. anyway .. one boot option up [20:09] rayray: i tried with all same problem [20:09] ferronica .. weird [20:09] WarPriest: if the data is not encrypted it is probably ntfs, so you can simply shutdown your box, remove the harddrive and use it in another box [20:09] I am trying to troubleshoot wireless networking. I type ifconfig -a wlan0 and I get a message that looks like it is working, but I never connect to SSID [20:09] ferronica .. then roll back firefox?

I thought it did but => md5 downloaded_app returned an error. [20:26] icewaterman, for 2 GB ram can we use 64 bit version of Ubuntu ? [20:26] abhinay: md5sum [20:27] abhinay: >4GB would [20:27] Kot1: one sec [20:27] musikgoat: ok [20:27] abhinay: because for >4gb you would get a speed increase on 64bit [20:28] m65: try to ping Jack_Sparrow maybe about the spam? [20:28] icewaterman, so installing 64 bit version of Ubuntu in Core2Duo with less than 4 GB RAM is a bad idea ? [20:28] i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng. [20:28] X will not start with any of them.

[20:29] yep [20:29] senora [20:29] m65, yea, same here [20:29] abhinay: the only reason it'd be bad is that theres still problems with running 64bit [20:29] does ubuntu come with an md5sum check installed. I thought it did but => md5 downloaded_app returned an error. [20:29] abhinay: there is no gain but lots of pain with amd64 if you have <4GB [20:29] anteaya: look at what you said, md5sum command and you ran md5 ;) [20:29] bluefoxx: samething happened to me [20:29] !netsplit [20:29] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[20:29] icewaterman, thanks for the info :) [20:30] Kyle__, thanks [20:30] i will try md5sum [20:30] Kot1: you can try going to a terminal (alt-f1) and type the following commands (this will end your graphical desktop, so save any work) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop then on the next line type sudo nvidia-xconfig after that type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start which will restart graphics... if the middle command fails, type the last and it should get you back here [20:30] theFATMAN: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [20:30] i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng.X will not start with any of them.

You will change root to your installation and may run passwd to change root/user password with it. After rebooting the password should be the one you selected.

[21:49] jamesmcm: during instalation you can do the partitioning of the disk [21:49] cara: Re-install it [21:49] SeaPhor, Those are usplash and vebose. They are disabled for recovery mode. it doesnt work in that either. [21:49] jamesmcm: first thing is to resize the xp partition using gparted, a gui tool on the live cd [21:49] when i go to youtube the videos dont play...http://paste.ubuntu.com/18164/ [21:49] Scuniziz: you are right, it worked.... [21:49] ive gotten to this so far [21:49] okay thanks [21:49] nano.. nice.. what server are you going into [21:49] sigh [21:49] cara: Personally i wouldnt use wubi, but, try to see if there is an option to force x86 [21:49] SeaPhor, Usplash works fine. [21:49] Scunizi: im not going into any server, why do you feel like playing? [21:50] Drk_Guy: I was trying to avoid that [21:50] i kinda suk at it [21:50] err can it resize NTFS partitions?

[21:50] cara: There is no other way [21:50] will it format it - or is it just in case [21:50] Drk_Guy: I've used gentoo before :) [21:50] can anyone tell me how to reinstall the free/non-free flashplayer?

It will prob. go ok, but I always take the cautious approach. [21:51] SeaPhor, cuz you never had 7200 [21:51] Hi, i´ve set up passwordless ssh auth for a user, but with a passphrase. Gnome keyring unlocks this passphrase upon login. This works perfectly, however i want to execute ssh (which starts a tunnel) by using sudo, and now ssh needs again the passphrase (using -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa) [21:51] erUSUL: thank you [21:51] Scunizi: im trying to configure a shortcut in my gnome-panel for alienarena, but its not working...? [21:51] orgthingy: sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp [21:51] un2him, okay - i don't think there's anything too vital but i will doublecheck [21:52] nano. find it in the menu and right mouse click.. it will have an option to place it on the panel [21:52] erUSUL: but u need to have internet to do that! The whole point of downloading gnome-ppp is to get internet working :P [21:52] jamesmcm: good luck. i have to go, but if you need help, i would search the ubuntu forums online [21:52] kahrytan, no, closest i personally have is a 7300, but have worked in here with ppl that had 7200 [21:52] un2him, okay thanks for all your help [21:53] Scunizi: but y doesn't it work when i find the executuable through the Main-menu-config option...?

[21:53] How can i get the emerald themes if svn repo's not working? [21:53] erUSUL: youtube videos will still not play, the player isnt even on the page [21:53] orgthingy: go to packages.ubuntu.com and dwonload the precompiled package from there. Compiling from source ytar.gz is not adviced [21:53] ???

[23:09] polarbear: if the network cards are good, you can just throw a regular straight-thru cable between them and then check what speed they're connecting at (100, 10) [23:09] that'd be a decent indicator of nic health [23:10] SeaPhor, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814125071 [23:10] polarbear: or you could always hit staples and grab another nic for like $20 [23:10] anyone know what torrent client opensuse 11 uses? [23:10] jowi how can i get to the settings go under wine configure? or should i look for a txt file in the tycoon location?>? [23:10] i wanna get it for ubuntu [23:11] cycom, ya thats what ill do, there is actually a place which sells super cheap cabling also [23:11] jowi i have now way of getting to settings for roller coster [23:11] cycom, really close by [23:11] ahhhh.... [23:11] hi [23:11] lost power [23:11] polarbear: grab both, return what you don't need I guess. [23:11] gnome hardy [23:11] I just did an mini.iso install of 8.04, and my resolution is stuck at 800x600; when I look at xorg.conf, however, I don't see the numbers to edit. It just doesn't have those fields. What's the deal? [23:11] panel and menus is gone [23:11] nosa-J, you should set it within the game itself. Wine support Direct 3d natively. I have no experience with Roller Coaster but from other games running under wine that report a similar error. [23:11] <_2> anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? [23:11] rebooted again and selected safe gnome [23:11] no go [23:12] nosa-J, for more info perhaps #wine-hq can be of help [23:12] !wine [23:12] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [23:12] llama_: I think the new Xorg does a lotta buncha autodetecting. What drivers you using? [23:12] ok ill check ther [23:12] cycom, All defaults, I'm just on some older HP laptop. [23:12] nosa-J, Wine Appdb [23:12] hey any good port scanners in linux [23:13] i have installed the nvidia driver for 7200gs via synaptic, via hardware drivers, via nvidia installer, and via envyng.X will not start with any of them. Ubuntu goes from loading screen to blank screen with video on.There is no Xorg.0.log generated when X fails to start. No error of any kind of generated to screen. I even waited over night for it to generate one. It just didnt generate any error [23:13] nosa-J, Wine's Appdb page is quite good [23:13] <_2> WARNING; i'll repete my question in five minutes if no one answers! [23:13] llama_: yeah, but what IS the default, and what kind of video card does the laptop have? [23:13] thanks Jowi, i really appreciate it, ok ill googlle that [23:13] cycom, thaks for your help, it just finished so im going to go try moving the pc, bbl [23:13] nosa-J, http://appdb.winehq.org [23:13] kahrytan: did you get any errors from that modprobe? [23:13] ty [23:14] soundray, no [23:14] llama_: if the default is VESA, that might explain your lo-res [23:14] never mind [23:14] !nmap [23:14] Factoid nmap not found [23:14] _2: please leave about 10, so other people have a chance to log on in the meantime [23:14] soundray, funny thing is people on newegg says it worksi n linux [23:14] <_2> soundray :) [23:14] hi all, im stuck trying to get my wg111v2 working with ndiswrapper. I have blacklisted the default drivers and set the module to run at startup but nm applet seems to be caught in a loop where it keeps asking me for a wireless key where I am sure it is right. any ideas? [23:14] kahrytan: I know a few people with working 7200s [23:14] cycom, the way I would have been able to tell you that I knew of was looking at xorg, but now all it says is "default screen", "configured monitor", "configured device", etc. Which is really frustrating. If there is some other way to tell, let me know (I'm no expert or anything). [23:15] soundray, so why not mine [23:15] kahrytan: it's hard to say when it crashes without any message. Have you tried it in any other OS? [23:16] soundray, Vista is coming soon. It should work there better. If it doesnt, then its bad [23:16] Vista is not a particularly good place to be testing hardware for functionality [23:16] kahrytan: that's what I was thinking -- it could be a hardware fault [23:16] gnome panel plz... [23:17] will dye soon of loliness.. [23:17] soundray, sadly, its coming up on it's 1 yr mark [23:17] or something like that [23:17] Any recommendations on a e-commerce solution running on stable? [23:17] <_2> riba1 gnome-panel ? [23:17] gone [23:17] after I login [23:17] llama_: sorry, got distracted. check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:17] startup file plz? [23:18] soundray, 2 more months left [23:18] <_2> riba1 gnome-panel ? [23:18] kahrytan: presently we don't know whether your whole machine hard locks, or whether it's just the video subsystem. Correct? [23:18] llama_: it's long. grep through it for EEs (errors) [23:18] _2: yes [23:18] <_2> yes [23:18] soundray, ctrl-alt-sysreq doesnt work btw [23:18] kahrytan: did you look it up? [23:18] also, go through it with less, and once you get to the bottom, look for stuff like 'vesa' or 'intel' or 'ati' or 'nv' and such [23:18] soundray, what? [23:19] kahrytan: you have to hold down the three keys, then press R E I S U and B in succession [23:19] _2: donnt know why a power failure mess it up [23:19] soundray, thats impossible to do [23:19] anyone know how to make an object transparent when creating a GDM theme? [23:19] soundray, takes 2 hands for ctrl-alt-sysreq [23:20] <_2> kahrytan no it's not. [23:20] created another user and still no panel on desktop [23:20] kahrytan: no, it isn't. I've done it many times. Takes a bit of practice. Or a weight on the PrintScreen key [23:20] icons are there though [23:20] and right click worx [23:20] voila [23:20] thankfully [23:20] :) [23:21] <_2> soundray three keys ? alt+sysrq+[R,E,I,S,B] did i miss one ? [23:21] riba1, is gnome-panel still installed? "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" should let you know [23:21] soundray, you use your middle finger and thumb? [23:21] _2: Ctrl [23:21] <_2> soundray not needed here. [23:21] why ubuntu doesn't upgrade firefox? [23:22] _2: it's possible [23:22] ianliu_88, cuz final isnt released [23:22] ianliu_88: because there is no security-relevant change in the rcs [23:22] Hi, every single time my kernel is updated, nvidia ceases to work. Any suggestions? [23:22] Hmmm, thanks [23:22] soundray, no. cuz its not final [23:22] ahhhhh [23:22] MindVirus: do you have the linux-image-generic installed? [23:23] <_2> MindVirus don't update your kernel.... but that's bad advice. [23:23] soundray, it was posted on brainstorm why it isnt being upgraded [23:23] magnetron, how do I check? [23:23] gnome-panel A panel is already rubning. [23:23] MindVirus: in synaptic [23:23] how come if i on't see any panel?? [23:23] cycom, I don't use grep often, and can't be sure I'm using it right- I think the only "EE" grep is finding is in the beginning where it says the following: "(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown." [23:23] kahrytan: it's in proposed. If the final isn't out by the point release date, the rc will be in the point release [23:23] soundray, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/8808/ [23:23] <_2> riba1 it crashed and left a stale lock file most likely. [23:24] Rampage: if you're still here i have the webmail plugin, also the hotmail one, but as im me i have no idea where to go next... [23:24] <_2> anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? [23:24] _2: tx...how do I star the gnome control panel and reset it ? :) [23:24] hi all, im stuck trying to get my wg111v2 working with ndiswrapper. I have done everything I should but nm applet seems to be caught in a loop where it keeps asking me for a wireless key where I am sure it is right. any ideas? [23:24] Pxrbot: Okay, in the Menu tools- Addons [23:25] soundray, This card is really making me angry [23:25] magnetron, yes, it's installed. [23:25] <_2> riba1 i really don't know. i haven't seen gnome in years. [23:25] jaki jest polsi kanal ubuntu? [23:25] polski [23:25] kahrytan: The RCs bring a lot of updated packages with them, its not just one FF3 package that needs to be tested. We should be seeing RC1 moved to -updates soon. [23:25] kahrytan: is there any definitive official statement on that page? [23:25] !pl | hakin [23:25] hakin: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl [23:25] Pxrbot: Click on the preferences for the Webmail addin [23:25] _2: what do you use? terminal? :) [23:25] its a netgear btw [23:25] soundray, Developer doesnt count? [23:25] <_2> riba1 yeah console, and blackbox when i need/want a gui. [23:25] ook im on the preferences [23:26] I was stopped a tar process. How do I keep tar.gz files that I didn't conclude in? [23:26] make sure the POP and SMTP are running [23:26] both error [23:26] i was wondering, i've just installed ubuntu on my eee, and got wireless working. but i cant seem to connect to unsecured networks. i cant leave the seecurity field blank when setting up the connection. can anyone help? [23:26] _2: i am happy for you and sorry I can't afford to do that anymore :( [23:26] how do I get the uid of a new drive I installed? [23:26] family and work does not leave any more time [23:26] Pxrbot: Change the port to 1100 and 2525 respectively and then try restart thunderbird [23:26] magnetron, now what? [23:26] cycom, did you catch that? [23:27] <_2> riba1 you might find the lock file by something like; find ~/ -iname lock [23:27] kahrytan: I wonder if it's an issue related to the specific kernel/driver combination. Perhaps you can find another distribution that has the NVidia driver on a live CD (perhaps Knoppix does). If that works, you've got a software problem. If it shows the same symptoms, it points in the hardware direction [23:27] got to go finishing the daughter playground birthday present [23:27] kahrytan: it does -- who is the developer? [23:27] _2: tx..at ;east is a start [23:27] hey all [23:27] <_2> riba1 if you find it just delete it and restart gnome [23:27] ive just installed my nvidia drivers and it boots ok [23:27] i was wondering, i've just installed ubuntu on my eee, and got wireless working. but i cant seem to connect to unsecured networks. i cant leave the security field blank when setting up the connection. can anyone help? [23:27] Rampage: done that, bother say running (IMAP is stopped, just though it might help) [23:27] heh [23:28] kahrytan: I see what you mean now [23:28] DVSoftware: [23:28] HOOOOOORAY I BOOTED UP [23:28] soundray, All i got is Linux mint and 7.04 [23:28] what went wrong, i compiled a linux 2.6.25 kernel and the *.deb packet of the kernel had 200mb! [23:28] <_2> riba1 or; find ~/ -iname '*lock*' for a much proader search scope. [23:28] I however cannot get a higher res than 640x480 despite editing my xorg.conf to only have 1024x768 resolution [23:28] Pxrbot: I don't use IMAP myself so no idea what that does, I assume its running fine now on the port 1100 and 2525? [23:28] kahrytan: can't you get 8.04? [23:28] can anyone please advise [23:28] soundray, i got 8.04 installed [23:28] <_2> s/proader/broader/ ooops [23:28] <\3TATUK> What is the question that properly corresponds to the answer of 42? [23:29] \3TATUK: what is the meaning of life [23:29] \3TATUK: How many roads must a man walk down, also #ubuntu-offtopic [23:29] <\3TATUK> Are you sure? [23:29] Rampage: both POP and SMTP say running [23:29] that answer is weird [23:29] can anyone help me? [23:29] * _2 is sure it's OT [23:29] \3TATUK: but to understand the answer, you must first understand the question [23:29] 200mb kernel header [23:29] thats wierd [23:29] Pxrbot: Okay thats good, now go into the hotmail extensions preferences [23:29] i made make menuconfig [23:29] llama_: yeah, sorry [23:30] <\3TATUK> meaning of life has nothing to do with it ... it's all about the universe and the ultimate question ^^ [23:30] llama_: that means you have no errors [23:30] ok im there [23:30] and just pressed enter until the oldconfig dialog was finished [23:30] I would do cat /var/log/Xorg.0.conf | less and look for the driver near the bottom [23:30] \3TATUK: Please continue the philosphical questions in #ubuntu-offtopic , #ubuntu is for Ubuntu support only. Thanks [23:30] it'll say something about intel, or ati, or vesa or whatever. [23:30] cycom, I guess that's right. I don't have any errors, it is running 'successfully' in 800x600. [23:30] kahrytan: on the feisty live CD, I think there is a way to download and activate the nvidia driver [23:30] soundray opensuse? [23:30] the kernel was working but had no sound [23:30] because pci was not initialised [23:30] llama_: the other thing is, run lspci to determine what brand of video card you have [23:30] can someone help me please? [23:31] i'm having problems encoding a video using ffmpeg on ubuntu 8.04 [23:31] kahrytan: I really don't know -- my first stop would be Knoppix, but then I'd have to search the web [23:31] it encodes fine in debian sid [23:31] soundray, ive got 6.10, 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04 [23:31] Jowi: how can i join wine hq no one is in that channel when i join it [23:31] Hello, I am using "Sticky Notes" and when I make some they always hide when I click on the desktop, can I somehow avoid this? [23:31] nosa-J: /j #winehq [23:31] Pxrbot: Sorry will be with you in a minute [23:32] !Sticky Notes [23:32] Factoid sticky notes not found [23:32] kahrytan: well, you definitely have a few options for testing different kernels then [23:32] Rampage: no worries :) Team America is on [23:32] ahh cool [23:32] the command line I use is ffmpeg -y -i file.avi -s 320x240 -f ogg -vcodec libtheora -vb 64k -acodec vorbis -ac 2 -vol 300 -ab 16k -r 12 file.ogg -acodec vorbis -ac 2 -vol 300 -ab 16k [23:32] !Notes [23:32] Johnnypea that's just how the program is. don't click on the desktop [23:32] Factoid notes not found [23:32] soundray, been using for year [23:32] how do I get sdc1 to show up in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [23:32] could anyone help me identify the problem ? [23:32] can someone help me? im having problems with wireless in 8.04 [23:32] llama_: lspci should have something about 'VGA compatable controller' or something [23:32] ehm, there is really no way? [23:32] cycom, I don't understand why this is all necessary. I don't think I need new drivers or anything, I only had to do a little tweaking formerly, no driver changes were necessary. Anyways, I think this is the videocard line from lscpi- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM710 LynxEM [23:33] Pxrbot: Okay sorry, close the preferences now and go to Edit -> Account settings [23:33] soundray, im gonna download opensuse [23:33] <_2> anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? [23:33] johnnypea if you don't click the desktop and instead click whatever program you need then it should be functional enough [23:33] hi, I am using ndiswrapper with my netgear dongle, but I can't get wep to work in nm applet, or at all for that matter. I get stuck in a loop that keeps asking me for the wep key. any ideas? [23:33] llama_: well, did you try adjusting the resoltuion inside gnome? [23:33] Pxrbot: In there Create a new account and select webmail [23:33] I'm so confused, sdc1 shows up as this " 07D7-0C16 -> ../../sdc1" no other drives have a uuid like that? [23:33] i don't think there is a way to prevent it [23:33] kahrytan: so you're saying that previously you've used the NVidia driver with success? [23:33] llama_: system, preferences, Screen resolution? [23:33] soundray, with fx5200 [23:34] Rampage: ok [23:34] soundray, but different system [23:34] _2, is the framebuffer enabled in BIOS/CMOS? [23:34] llama_: your other option is to just add the modelines yourself [23:34] Then add your details and follow the steps till account creation is done [23:34] how do i connect to an unsecured wireless network in 8.04? the network manager doesnt let me leave the security field blank - it forces me to put wep or wpa [23:34] <_2> Jowi it's a tosheba you can't switch anything in bios hardly. [23:34] cycom, I am in fluxbox, gnome is a bit bloated for this machine. I'm fine adding the modelines myself, but I don't know how to make them from scratch; I couldn't find that information on google. [23:34] i'm having some major issues with BIND anyone know BIND very well? [23:35] <_2> Jowi short answer is " i have no clue, but probably can't change it anyway " [23:35] hey guys, i have a problem in hardy, i keep having updates for kernel 2.6.24 , but the system still uses 2.6.22 , if it matters i upgraded from gutsy when hardy was beta ! [23:35] llama_: me either... see if you can find any Xorg.confs from people with a similar laptop on a different distro. [23:35] i can't nslookup anything it continues to say connection timed no server could be reached [23:35] cycom, thanks then. [23:36] iptables if off, /etc/resolv.conf is updated [23:36] _2, most toshiba computers uses "ESC" during boot to get into BIOS [23:36] named is running [23:36] how do i connect to an unsecured wireless network in 8.04? the network manager doesnt let me leave the security field blank - it forces me to put wep or wpa [23:36] _2, or F1 [23:36] <_2> Jowi f2 [23:36] Would it be safe to shrink or delete my swap partition? It's 5.8 GB, and that seems like an awfully large size... [23:36] <_2> Jowi im in bios now. [23:37] kahrytan: yeah, perhaps looking at another distribution's success with your card will give you a clearer picture [23:37] soundray, and windows test [23:37] kahrytan: yes [23:37] Rampage: when i click on Get Mail 'sending the username did not succeed' basically an error message :S [23:38] llama_: np. good luck! [23:38] <_2> Jowi has in main "lcd display > en|dis/able" in advanced "nothing about display" [23:38] soundray, nv do video acceleration? [23:38] kahrytan: you could also play some music on a virtual console to see if it stops when you get the black screen [23:38] kahrytan: only 2D [23:38] guys! anything about hardy not using the 2.6.24 kernel though it's updating it !! [23:38] hi all im trying to rip music from my cd's and its ripping at about 4x speed why is it going so slow? [23:38] Pxrbot: Umm, Okay once you have created the account go to Tools -> Addons -> preferences for hotmail [23:38] anyone BIND ???? [23:38] Pxrbot: Tell me what you see there? [23:39] mich54: the problem must be in your /boot/grub/menu.lst -- do you want to put it on http://paste.ubuntu.com for us to see? [23:39] sploozer: You may want to try asking in #ubuntu-server [23:39] Nostahl: What program are you using to rip your CDs? [23:39] no hotmail accounts found... i think this may be a case of me setting the account up wrong? [23:39] tryed rhythmbox and audio juicer [23:39] Pxrbot: yes looks like it, now go back to account settings [23:39] cant find settings in eather for ripping speed [23:40] sploozer: why are you running bind? [23:40] Pxrbot: Tell me what your settings are under server settings? [23:40] soundray, I just meant video as in actual videos [23:40] soundray: then i have to mention that i i used to have my boot files on the same partition of the filesystem then i changed it to a separate one [23:40] Pxrbot: Specifically server name and username? [23:40] <_2> Jowi that's about it. has a "security" section where you set/change the passwd, and an "other" section where you turn lid switch on/off and low bat alarm on/off, then the "boot" section where you can choose lan cd or hdd that's it. for my bios. [23:40] kahrytan: I think so [23:40] local DNS cache server for local webserver name res [23:41] Rampage: servername = localhost, port = 1100, security settings = never [23:41] <_2> imo they built crap and sold it as if it was gold. [23:41] mich54: then you should reinstall grub [23:41] mich54: follow the RecoveringUbuntu... instructions from the factoid: [23:41] !grub | mich54 [23:41] mich54: 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 [23:42] Pxrbot: for username is it @hotmail.com? [23:42] <_2> anyone else ? [23:42] soundray:ok thanks , i'll try that ! [23:42] magical_trevsky, hi, somebody would help me with volunteer software development ? details on private [23:42] Rampage: no theres the part before the @hotmail.co.uk [23:43] i can`t get the whole output from ..

[23:43] Ever since the kernel update about a week ago, my laptop has been acting flaky. Every now and then wireless will just disappear - iwlist can't see any networks, and ifup/ifdown eth1 say "ignoring unknown interface". I have to reboot to get wireless working again. I found a bug about that 184055 I think. [23:43] Pxrbot: Ok add the hotmail.co.uk then [23:43] empty? [23:43] <_2> know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? [23:43] Pxrbot: *@hotmail.co.uk [23:44] However, the past few days my laptop (thinkpad t43p) has been crashing oddly, mostly when I close the lid or when I leave it idle for a while and the screen blanks out. [23:44] I can't get it to come back, have to hold down the power button and force a reboot. [23:44] Rampage: im an idiot, you're a genius :) they're downloading now, thanks so much :) [23:44] Sometimes it *won't* reboot, the power icon on the screen frame comes on but nothing appears on the screen. That may be heat-related, though. [23:44] Anybody have any clue about this? [23:45] Pxrbot: Thats good, also have you set up the SMPT? [23:45] Pxrbot: And you're welcome [23:45] Rampage: eeerrrrm i guess i havent? [23:45] soundray, if the card worked in windows, then what? [23:45] Pxrbot: Ok so in the account settings, at the bottom there is Outgoing Sewrver (SMPT) [23:46] Pxrbot: In there add a new server [23:46] hey guys, I'm trying to access my WinXP partition in Ubuntu... and I don't have ANY drives showing up... can someone help me? [23:46] kahrytan: that would be circumstantial evidence for a driver bug rather than a hardware fault [23:46] Pxrbot: Description "hotmail", server name "localhost", port "2525" [23:46] ubuntu, yo umust to set the grub config file [23:47] Pxrbot: For the username you want @hotmail.co.uk again [23:47] soundray, 430w psu should befine too? [23:47] kantor what? [23:47] I have a two monitor setup. i have my lapt top and a 1280x1024 LCD connected to it. it works fine but when i move my mouse over to the 2nd monitor is will pan when i go to the edge of the screen. is there a way to turn off panning? [23:47] <_2> i thought hotmail was imap [23:47] Rampage: use secure connection? leave as is? [23:47] Can anyone help me set up my SAMBA configuration? [23:47] ubuntu, you are new to Linux ? [23:47] kahrytan: I should point out that the driver is the responsibility of NVidia (not Ubuntu) [23:47] Pxrbot: leave as is [23:47] kantor I'm in a live session, and I can't see my windows partition anywhere... nor do I have a /media/hda1 drive I have absolutly nothing [23:47] Two quick Q's pleas don't dis about topics, just need to find help. 1. Any CVS gurus with SourceForge experience available? 2. Windows .txt file does not break a line with "\n" or "
" so what is the correct code? [23:48] Rampage: done [23:48] kahrytan: whether your wattage is enough depends on what else you have in your system [23:48] soundray, yeah yeah. already filed a bug under restricted [23:48] Pxrbot: Then in the hotmail account config, set it to use this server for Outgoing SMTP [23:48] kantor no I'm not a total newb but I'm not really sure why I can't see my freakin hard drive at all [23:48] ubuntu in terminal type cat /proc/partitions [23:48] server irc.matrixirc.de [23:48] TBotNik, check file encoding. what windows app are you using to open .txt [23:48] <_2> TBotNik \r\n [23:48] ubuntu if its a big list pastebin it [23:48] What is the best file system for a linux in a laptop? xfs, jfs? [23:48] install gparted [23:48] major minor #blocks name [23:48] 7 0 690804 loop0 [23:48] major minor #blocks name [23:48] 7 0 690804 loop0 [23:48] Pxrbot: Try send an email to yourself from thunderbird to check if its working, and if it is you are all set [23:48] ubuntu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:48] <_2> TBotNik \n\r sorry. [23:48] ubuntu, install gparted [23:49] ubuntu, and open it, you can see with that program all the hard drives and partitions [23:49] gbs: i prefer ext3 [23:49] Would someone help me set up SAMBA? [23:49] is there a way to turn off panning on a second monitor [23:49] how do i check what drive my cdrom is [23:49] <_2> TBotNik mac stile is \r linux is \n win uses both. [23:49] ie hdc or something like that [23:49] soundray, doubt it's psu. people use 430w for bigger cards and more system extras [23:49] kantor it's already installed, I start it and it doesn't find any drives... even when I click "refresh drives" [23:49] Rampage, but ext3 is slower then xfs [23:50] kantor it's totally greyed out, nothing in it [23:50] I've never used anything else gbs :-(, so can't give a good opinion [23:50] how do i find out what my cdrom is ie hdc or something [23:50] Rampage, aw, ock [23:50] soundray, is there a live cd that includes nvidia? [23:50] kahrytan: a lack of power wouldn't result in problems so reproducible [23:50] ubuntu, maybe do you have accidentally deleted the partitions or messed up the master boot record of the hard disc [23:50] Rampage: how do i set the hotmail account to use that server as the outgoing? i tried sending a message, i get a Send Message Error come up [23:51] <_2> TBotNik fyi there are apps to convert to from on that dos2unix unix2dos [23:51] soundray, huh? [23:51] Pxrbot: In the account settings, check in the hotmail account [23:51] mrynit: Using PHP, but "\r\n" does not a new line make in .txt files. [23:51] kantor no... I can boot into windows xp just fine... I need to replace a file in windows but I can't while I'm IN windows because it's in use [23:51] Pxrbot: Then in the hotmail account config, set it to use this server for Outgoing SMTP [23:51] kahrytan: I don't know. NVidia forbids redistribution, so it would be legally difficult to produce a live CD with their driver on it [23:51] ubuntu did that /proc/partitions show anything other than what you pasted... anything starting with /dev/hd or sd [23:52] whats the command to see what drive my cdrom is listed as [23:52] kantor no [23:52] musikgoat no [23:52] <_2> Nostahl if it's mounted mount [23:52] ubuntu then the live cd isn't seeing the disks from a hardware level... [23:52] kantor all I can access is the temporary files installed for unbuntu's file system [23:52] <_2> Nostahl a little harder to find if not mounted. [23:52] kahrytan: your system crashes each time you start X. So your problem is well reproducible. It is thus not likely a power issue. [23:52] #ubuntu [23:52] musikgoat yes I see that.... how do I fix it? [23:53] ubuntu irc french ? [23:53] quel et la manipe [23:53] where can I find good documentation on encoding a video file form avi to ogg ? [23:53] !fr A [23:53] Factoid fr a not found [23:53] Rampage: perfect :) for other accounts do i use the same outgoing server of they're hotmail? [23:53] !fr | cerix [23:53] cerix: 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 [23:53] soundray, http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/19150.html [23:53] kahrytan: have you considered SeaPhor's suggestion? [23:53] ubuntu: i would look in your dmesg history for any errors reading the disks [23:53] ubuntu, I think you messed up something there, try to become root and use fdisk from a terminal [23:53] Umm, i would suggest creating different ones with different login details if you have multiple accounts Pxrbot [23:53] I added a drive to my system and can mount it fine, I however have to sudo to create any files or copy files to it? [23:54] ubuntu, to see if that program sees some partitions [23:54] Would somebody help me set up samba? [23:54] somebody to help me i`ve posted my problem here http://pastebin.ca/1041609 ? [23:54] Rampage: ok :) thanks again, you're a magician [23:54] kahrytan: that looks like a faulty or incomplete installation to me [23:54] ubuntu following kantor's recommendations, sudo fdisk -l [23:54] Pxrbot: You're welcome [23:54] ubuntu but pastebin it [23:54] musikgoat it's blank [23:54] soundray, I did get that error once. [23:54] how do i convert my .nrg file to iso ? [23:54] sudo fdisk -l doesn't list anything at all [23:54] I'm on Hardy, trying to connect to a Books A Million (chain bookstore) wifi hot-spot. I can see the network, and I get an IP, but I can *do* anything. I do not get redirected to their auth/login page over http. It's been reported else (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=742354) but I haven't seen a resolution. [23:55] <_2> Nostahl if you ever need to find a cd/dvd drive from a command line http://ubuntu.pastebin.us/?show=d3fd5b0a1 [23:55] does the directory I am mounting to provide the permissions for the mounted device? ie chmod 777 to /storage before I mount anything to it? [23:55] somebody to help me i`ve posted my problem here http://pastebin.ca/1041609 ? [23:55] ubuntu: ok odd... I would try rebooting the LiveCD [23:55] soundray, when I got to recovery, I went to root. And that error showed up [23:55] ubuntu: then immediately check sudo fdisk -l [23:55] I've been to other free public hotspots that had me "register" or "authz" when I used http and had no probs. [23:56] <_2> cdavis no. if it's an M$ file system it's psyudo permissions, else they are on the fs itself. [23:56] musikgoat I've rebooted like 5 times, used different versions (xubuntu, kubuntu etc) and have gotten nowhere [23:56] Is there anything I can do to connect (and use) the Books A Million wireless connection? [23:56] kahrytan: what I'd do then is a fresh install and a bog-standard driver installation through jockey-gtk [23:56] soundray, If it worksi n windows, its not power issue [23:56] jockey? [23:57] kahrytan: I already said it's not a power issue [23:57] kahrytan: jockey-gtk = System-Administration-Hardware Drivers [23:57] hola! [23:57] soundray, thats what that is [23:57] ubuntu: your issue is pretty unique, there's not too many times where the install disks cannot even detect any hard drives, what are you installing this on? [23:57] !it | war [23:57] war: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [23:57] !it [23:57] soundray, I did fresh install already. [23:57] _2, Thanks, makes sense and I have it working now [23:57] how do i mount .nrg file ? [23:57] soundray, i updated system, then install nvidia [23:58] musikgoat a PC with an ASUS mobo, and just a regular EIDE Hard drive [23:58] <_2> cdavis welcome [23:58] musikgoat yeah I dunno... I can't seem to figure out the problem either [23:58] <_2> does anyone know how to get my boot/console rez off of 80x25 on a tosheba lappy with ati chips ? i tried vga=(771,773,781,782,783,788,789,791) all yeld a "bsob" nothing useful. ? [23:58] kahrytan: through jockey-gtk? [23:58] ubuntu can you pastebin your dmesg? [23:58] _2: try vga=ask [23:58] hi [23:59] flannel whats up? [23:59] <_2> Flannel heh it will only allow text mode from ask. === poooop is now known as WSP [23:59] hi flannel [23:59] soundray, yes [23:59] _2: what's the native panel resolution? [23:59] which is best driver for intel i915 graphic card? my system uses i810 by default. should i change it? [23:59] is there a way to downgrade my version of Firefox? i'm currently using beta 3.0 and I think its not compatible with some of the websites I use. [23:59] <_2> soundray 1200x800 [23:59] weechat
