[00:41] _2: best of luck [00:41] Rampage: no, if you are getting those speeds over ftp, then the limitation is either your (wireless if you are using it) or disk or processor [00:41] _2: one more thing [00:41] <_2> just caught me soundray had the quit message all typed out. [00:41] after i made my home directory chmod 700, i cannot open ~/username .. it says permission denied.. how can i fix that? [00:41] musikgoat: Oh, I'm not useing wireless, plugged in via RJ45 cable, and I am able to get 11mb/s using linuxdc++ [00:42] _2: you seem to be very dedicated... in case you hadn't seen it yet, you can install the linux-doc package and read all the framebuffer docs under /usr/share/doc/linux-doc/2.6.23/Documentation/fb/* [00:42] Which is why I was wondering why this was slower [00:42] Rampage: really? interesting... i don't know what could bog down ftp speeds then... [00:42] astro76, thanks, that seems to work for thequestion i posed, i guess i needed to add some exceptions, the files can have different parts for foo/bar/baz, and not all ###s exist (ie, some numbers skip) [00:42] <_2> soundray linux-doc package good tip. ty. [00:42] artista-frustrad, i looked at the man page, and i have to apologize as i can't completely figure out how to run ffmpeg <.<;; [00:43] musikgoat, Rampage: ISP throttling? [00:43] Nope, private lan [00:43] when i use {x..y}*.baz, it says at x*.baz does not exist [00:43] any idea? [00:43] so the * isn't wildcarding as I would expect [00:43] Jalathan, thanks anyway [00:43] <_2> soundray and no i hadn't seen "linux-doc" i have seen/used rute-book [00:44] <_2> but it's old. [00:44] <_2> ok. anything else ? [00:44] lamp server??? [00:44] What kind of apps in Ubuntu are able to record asx files (videos streaming over the Internet)? KMPlayer always crashes. [00:44] not able to find it [00:45] _2: note that this is the doc that comes with the standard Linux kernel. The Ubuntu kernel may contain tweaks that aren't documented in there. [00:45] nitesh: that is only on the server install, not the desktop [00:45] _2: other than that: bye and good luck ;) [00:45] I just ran the vanilla updates for Hardy and now I can't access anything that requires authentication. Anyone else had this issue yet? [00:45] nitesh: you can install them separately if you want on the desktop system [00:45] hi, i'm having a problem updating vmware after i upgraded to hardy [00:46] patrickkkk: last time i looked into running vmware server in hardy, they hadn't patched it yet, the .24 kernel broke something [00:46] patrickkkk: but this was at release 6 weeks ago [00:47] ah okay thanks musikgoat [00:47] does anyone have a clear and *complete* guide to setting up bridging on linux? i need it to work with madwifi and it is intended to be used with virtualbox [00:47] musikgoat: do you know how to remove it then? or a guide [00:47] how to remove vmware? [00:47] is ther any lime wire software [00:47] sudo apt-get remove [00:48] !limewire [00:48] hellow [00:48] limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install /msg ubotu java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider /msg ubotu FrostWire as an alternative. [00:48] nitesh, what are you looking for? [00:48] anybody can help me [00:48] In the terminal, how would i go to a directory that has a space in it? for example i have the directory /home/user/this directory [00:48] patrickkkk: for vmware iirc its in /lib/vmware/ something-remove.pl or something [00:48] iam looking for limewire software [00:48] cd home/user/this directory [00:48] nitesh: read above [00:48] !limewire | nitesh [00:48] patrickkkk: idk for sure [00:48] which is better in everyones experience vmware or virtualbox? [00:48] nitesh, did you see soundray's message? [00:49] I stick with VmWare [00:49] nitesh: limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network.

[00:49] Tann, use \ before space [00:49] biabia_: k, thanks [00:49] is there a deb pkg for vmware? [00:49] anyone else know if vmware server has been fixed to work with hardy? [00:49] welcome [00:49] anyone tell me how to completely remove the flashplugins and reinstall them, i cant get any youtube videos to play. [00:49] thanks [00:50] soundray I'm still a bit lost with the entire partition deal. Would you mind looking at the screenshot and help me resize them as to how I want them setup? I don't think what I've been is right :/ [00:50] Tann, alternately you can put "quotes around filename with space" [00:50] has anyone else experienced issues just after running the hardy recommended updates? [00:50] hi. in my firefox 3 beta 5 youyube is not working [00:50] musikgoat: not sure about server, but fusion hasn't. You can try the open source version of the vmware tools -- they've been updated for hardy (but are experimental) [00:50] pablo do you have the plugin installed? [00:50] hi. in my firefox 3 beta 5 youyube is not working, does anybody knows what to do? [00:50] pablo, do you have flash player installed? [00:50] james_: What sort of issues? [00:50] Ours: how do i check? [00:50] i ran out of cds. where do i find instructions on how to install hardy heron from a usb key? [00:50] soundray: thanks it was for someone else in here tho [00:51] hr doesnt...\ [00:51] Ours: if you can put the screenshot on a website, fine [00:51] james_: how do i reinstall?

[00:52] oops [00:52] james_: thx i am downloading some packages i guess i need to wait [00:52] gnome-system-monitor and the appearances settigns [00:52] Does livecd offer anyway to boot into it via windows? Im trying to remember my bios command to change the boot order on an old machine, but i can't remember it.

[00:53] ???? [00:53] Now I don't know if I should delete anything, or just resize them [00:53] when I transfer files in Vista I get 35-40MB/s transfer rate. But in Hardy I only get 6MB/s. Is there a way to make it faster in Ubuntu? [00:53] Ours: your partitions are setup correctly [00:53] hellow [00:53] _Shun: maybe your dns servers have gone down [00:53] !flashplayer [00:53] 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 [00:53] Ours: the sda3 is just the opening to your logical partitions [00:53] I want to give half the drive to Vista, and the other half to Ubuntu, and that's not exactly broken up evenly [00:54] Ours, thats east [00:54] _Shun: see if http://64.4.32.7 works [00:54] easy [00:54] oh, yeah, vista has 32GB Ours [00:54] is it common for ppl to get muiltiple hits regularily when using firestarter? [00:54] So I don't know which one to shorten [00:54] <_Shun> ok [00:54] how to install lamp-server [00:54] x-X-x, define "muiltiple hits" [00:54] sudo apt-get install? [00:54] anyone got any idea? download speed through VPN is almost half of what it usually is (wasn't happening on windows) [00:54] nitesh, just re-install your OS [00:54] Ours: have you installed ubuntu yet? [00:54] _Shun: or http://65.54.186.17 [00:54] Ours, what? [00:54] Ours: your swap is way too big. I would delete /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda5, then create a 12GB sda5 (for /), a 20GB sda6 (for /home) and a max. 2GB /dev/sda7 (for swap). Then you'll have space left which you can make into /dev/sda8. Format them all with ext3. === daemon3_ is now known as daemon3 [00:54] musikgoat: I have [00:54] <_Shun> uhmmm just show me connecting to 64.4.32.7 [00:54] tommy_ i keep getting a hit from a group of ips regularily [00:55] !lamp | nitesh [00:55] nitesh: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:55] ie every 5 - 10 min [00:55] * daemon3 is still here. :) [00:55] <_Shun> the same thing... uhmmmm [00:55] soundray, I am running Hardy perfectly without a swap [00:55] x-X-x, which ips?? [00:55] <_Shun> but another sites ..i cant.. :S [00:55] Ours: you may have to reinstall, because if you want it to only be 60GB and open more room for the first partition (vista) you'll have to delete sda3-5 [00:55] <_Shun> i mean.. *can do in [00:55] *sda3-6 [00:55] james_: i installed screenlets, do you think tht can b a problem? [00:55] I'm trying to mount an ancient 100MB hard drive with a USB to IDE cable and Ubuntu is detecting it as a 2TB hard drive. Anybody know how to force the detected geometry? /var/log/messages here: http://pastebin.ca/1041324 [00:56] musikgoat, when I transfer files in Vista I get 35-40MB/s transfer rate. But in Hardy I only get 6MB/s. Is there a way to make it faster in Ubuntu? [00:56] tommy: 212.116.146.163 is one of the many [00:56] tommy_: until one day you have a program that leaks memory, and the kernel kills your OpenOffice where you were just editing a 40MB document. [00:56] nitesh, also, for running iso 's, Gmount-iso is a good program [00:56] * mDemocritus is done with work for the day. huzzah! [00:56] pablo, possibly, but do you have flash player installed? [00:56] tommy_: so what exactly is your point? [00:56] soundray, in 3 years I have never had that problem [00:56] mDemocritus see ya [00:56] _Shun: https://www.opendns.com/start see if that helps [00:56] tommy_: you are not a power user then [00:56] does anyone know that path to the executable for synaptic? [00:56] soundray, besides, I click the save button every 5 secs by habit :) [00:56] Hmm, all right, thank you musikgoat and soundray alike. I guess I do some deleting and come back if I run into further problems [00:56] <_Shun> uhmm---- there new place... i see it [00:56] tommy_: are you talking about from computer to computer? [00:56] how do i get ubuntu to forcefully mount a drive? [00:56] soundray, define "power user" [00:56] tommy_: please do not recommend this to other people [00:56] Ours: yes [00:57] james_: type "which synaptec" [00:57] !worksforme | tommy_ [00:57] tommy_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [00:57] james_: my firefox was working just fine [00:57] musikgoat, from one partitoon to another, copy is slow in Ubuntu [00:57] Demios, sudo mount should work [00:57] james_: /usr/sbin/synaptic [00:57] <_Shun> and now.. what i can do? [00:57] Though how do I delete them because it has a lock, it's not allowing me to click delete [00:57] Rampage, thanks [00:57] <_Shun> rampage.. ? [00:57] Jalathan: pardon? [00:57] tommy_: it could be the filesystems [00:57] tommy_: ext3 is kinda slow for large files and partitions [00:58] Ours: what are you trying to delete? [00:58] soundray, I can have open many applications and do lots of work, yet my system resources reports I still have plenty of RAM left, and I only use 1GB. I think this "swap" issue is misunderstood and overrated [00:58] Someone know how to do this: I have several thousand .doc ms word files I have copied into ubunti and wish to be able to do document searches using an index somehow with openoffice [00:58] _Shun: Try use the opendns servers to see if it is a dns error not resolving hotmail domain [00:58] sda3 partition, which includes extened, ext3, and linux-swap [00:58] MightyTweek: eeek why'd you wait til now to use that 100mb drive? [00:58] musikgoat, why does Vista give me 35-40MB/s? I thought ext3 was a bette file system than NTFS [00:58] after i made my home directory chmod 700, i cannot open ~/username .. it says permission denied.. how can i fix that? [00:58] _Shun: https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu more specifically [00:58] I'm running a gateway, MT3707, ATI Radeon xpress 200m graphics... How do i update my graphics drivers >.> [00:58] Demios, 'sudo mount ' [00:58] And extended along with the swap have a lock next to them, which is why I'm assuming it's not lettimg me [00:59] Ours: its likely in use... do it from a Live CD, or rom Gparted Live [00:59] tommy_: its better in someways not in speed, imo [00:59] Kyle__: doing some archaeology :) [00:59] tommy_: you're free to do what you want, but swap is an essential safety net for most users [00:59] happy dragon boat festival! [00:59] IndyGunFreak I am doing it from the Live CD [00:59] hmm, weird. [00:59] That's how I got into GParted in the first place :/ [00:59] soundray, I have never recommended to others not to create a swap partition. not my business to do so, all im saying is that in 3-4 years, of heavy Ubuntu usage, I have never had a swap partition and never had a problem [00:59] OK, Why can I start synaptic from BASH, but not from the system menu? [00:59] tommy_: XFS is speedier... all filesystems have their quirks [00:59] Hi all [00:59] musikgoat, ok cheers [00:59] is there any reason for my internet download speed to almost cut in half after connecting to a VPN? [01:00] musikgoat, so what can i do? change ext3 to XFS? [01:00] Ours: don't know, i don't use the live CD's for partitioning, i use Parted Magic's Live CD [01:00] Does anybody know any similar program to shades on mac? (http://www.charcoaldesign.co.uk/shades/screenshots/1) [01:00] Shak-: you are tunnelling all your traffic through the vpn [01:00] james_: tried a reboot (even though its a windowsy solution) [01:00] Ours: do not delete /dev/sda3 [01:00] ? [01:00] So this get's the brightness down by software [01:00] tommy_: you can do that... or reiserfs [01:00] tommy_, i have been using a swap partition for the whole time i've been using linux. my ram does run over into the swap often. even with 1.5GB RAM [01:00] musikgoat: can I change to just tunnel 'browsing traffic' then? (I want to use the internet through the vpn) [01:00] Ours: you may have to run 'sudo swapoff' in the terminal to remove the lock on /dev/sda6 [01:01] musikgoat: how does windows handle it, since my speed wasn't affected then [01:01] wish to be able to do document searches using an index somehow with openoffice [01:01] I'm running a gateway, MT3707, ATI Radeon xpress 200m graphics... How do i update my graphics drivers >.> [01:01] <_x-X-x_> tommy_ u know anything ?? [01:01] soundray, I have a 10GB Hardy partition and I overwrote some pics. Can I get them back? Would a data recovery company be able to get my pics back that have been overwriten? [01:01] Shak-: i'm sure it can be done but i'm not familiar with that === _x-X-x_ is now known as x- [01:01] your download speeds from the internet Shak- [01:01] ? [01:01] Jalathan, what do you run for that to happen? === x- is now known as _x-X-x_ [01:01] soundray I thought if I wanted to increase the size of the NTFS partition I'd have to get rid of the sda3 [01:01] at least give me a pointer [01:02] tommy_: a data recovery company is going to be EXPENSIVE [01:02] Jalathan, click on System/Administrator/System Monitor and tell me how much RAM it says you have free right now [01:02] hey can someone help me [01:02] i got this program linux ubuntu [01:02] musikgoat: the only options I see available are to route only specific IPs through the vpn.. doesn't windows route all traffic through the vpn though? [01:02] musikgoat, dont worry abouyt the money issue, im asking.. IS IT POSSIBLE for them to recover my pics that have been overwritten? [01:02] and i dont know that software [01:02] tommy_: possibly. Although if they have been physically overwritten on disk (which the recovery company would have to find out), it could be difficult even for them. [01:02] so cann someone tell me how could i put a betyl in my pc [01:03] Ours: that's correct, but why do you want that? [01:03] tommy_: its possible... depends on a lot of factors, but data has history, even after being overwritten [01:03] soundray, wow thats amazing, I didnt know that a file which has been totally overwritten could be recovered [01:03] i cant get xubuntu to go past 800x600 [01:03] nitesh, still here? [01:03] !iso | nitesh [01:03] tommy_: start with telling the company the filesystem being used to get a more accurate quote [01:03] nitesh: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [01:03] any1 knows any free online game ? [01:03] soundray why would it be better to have them shared, as opposed to just have them be on their own? o.O [01:04] musikgoat, I am surprised and puzzled how a file that has been overwritten can be brought back from "under" an existing file. Are u 100% sure of that information? [01:04] tommy_: it's the reason why security nuts and CIA people overwrite their disks multiple times before they throw them in the garbage [01:04] tommy_: look into how magnetic media works, there is "ghosting" of data, yes 100% sure [01:04] Ours: you said you wanted to share data between your Windows and Linux installations -- didn't you? [01:04] this will give me the livecd correct? (where i could install ubuntu from the usb key): http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [01:04] soundray, if I have a 5GB partition of pics, But then I accidently replace all the 5GB of pics with new files, are you saying there is a way to get the original files that are now under the new data back??? [01:05] soundray: now they just turn to thurmite [01:05] :-D [01:05] No I said I wanted to have them separate from each other [01:05] Although, which of the two would you suggest? [01:05] helloeveryone I was wondering if somebody can help me troubleshoot my soiund card, I installed xubuntu on an old 450Mhz box. After the install I discovered that the sound didnt work I figured that it might have been the old ISA soundcard that was pluged into it didnt have drivers. So I removed the ISA sound card and installed a newer soundblaster PCI card. I powered up the box and I still do not have any sound. I'm trying to g [01:05] et it to work but I'm lost. Any help will be most welcome [01:05] musikgoat, are you willing to prove it? can you overwrite a whole partition with new data and show me to get back the original files that have been overwritten. Can you prove it? [01:06] you can read about it online, i work for a hard drive manufaturer and we send people to data recovery companies all the time [01:06] tommy_: what I'm saying is that the new files have not necessarily been written to the physical location of your pics, in which case recovery will be easy (for an expert) [01:06] tommy_, am running ~888MB out of 1.4GB (forgot about the onboard video). Rest is used by the disk cache. enough offtopic right now though... [01:06] soundray, I read that anymore than 3 wipes is useless. Its well known now that 7 or 35 wipes is a waste of time [01:06] ermm i'm sorry the question but what is really the short-cut command to ... to execute in gnome ?! :x [01:06] tommy_: you just answered your own question, why 3 wipes not 1? [01:07] tommy_: I would say so -- but if you're really obsessed, you prepare for tomorrow's recovery technologies today ;) [01:07] dolphin_noel, Alt+F2 [01:07] soundray, listen carefully.... lets say I have a 5GB HDD and it is 100% overwritten by new data till it says :FULL:. Are you claiming that there is a way to get the old original data back that is "under" the new data? SO HDD have dual layers??? [01:07] So soundray would you recommend I have the two partitions share data, or have them seperate? [01:07] Jalathan damit looks i make it really troubel here neither this is working LOL :x [01:07] Separate, rather [01:07] when I play a MP3 using VLC it plays but still no sounds [01:07] tommy_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_recovery#Recovering_overwritten_data [01:08] thanks MightyTweek [01:08] its getting tiresome [01:08] Jalathan, mine says 16% RAM used [01:08] is there a way disabling the 'black screen' after several minutes of inactivity [01:08] !ot [01:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:08] does anyone know how to get irkick to work with gnome applications? [01:08] Jalathan, what is your %? [01:08] soundray, can u plz answer my last question? [01:08] is there way to use echo to write the contents of a file to another? [01:08] musikgoat, lets say I have a 5GB HDD and it is 100% overwritten by new data till it says :FULL:. Are you claiming that there is a way to get the old original data back that is "under" the new data? SO HDD have dual layers??? [01:09] Tann: do you want to overwrite? or append? [01:09] tommy_: will you pls have patience while I type up my reply [01:09] Flannel: append [01:09] Tann: cat file1 >> file2 [01:09] tommy_: read that wikipedia article that MightyTweek recommended [01:09] soundray, patience is a virtue :) [01:09] where can i get some help with wireless usb card in ubuntu???????? [01:09] musikgoat, who is MightyTweek? [01:09] please take hardware questions to #ubuntu-offtopic [01:09] thx [01:09] Flannel: Thanks [01:09] bazhang, no, because its OFFTOPIC in there ;lol [01:10] utzxubiru, not you [01:10] tommy_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_recovery#Recovering_overwritten_data [01:10] ok [01:10] tommy_, not a suggestion. [01:10] Ours: whats up? [01:10] MightyTweek, you wrote that article? If so, what are your qualifcations in data recovery and Quantun Physics? [01:10] tommy_: hard disk drives don't have dual layers by design, of course. However, with extraordinary amounts of effort, you can determine what was there before the overwrite happened [01:10] musikgoat would it be better to have the two partitions (Vista and Ubuntu) share data, or to have the separate [01:10] omg [01:10] bazhang, are you an OP? [01:10] is there a way disabling the 'black screen' after several minutes of inactivity [01:10] !ot | tommy_ [01:10] tommy_: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[01:11] tommy_: No, I didn't write it, just thought you might find it enlightening [01:11] anyone knows what is .muonlineromania.ro/ [01:11] soundray, ok i know what you are saying.. but that wouild involve a lot of guesswork and assumptions [01:11] And also, you told me that I'd need to delete sda3, but I can't delete it, due to the lock you saw in the screen shot. How would I bypass that? [01:11] Ours: vista and ubuntu can share a data partition, if its ntfs [01:11] it works if i chmod my home to 755, but if chmoded to 700, it gives permission denied [01:11] tommy_, do you want to recover something ? [01:11] Ours: boot from live disk [01:11] What is wrong with kmplayer! It won't record streams and I'm getting really frustrated. [01:11] MightyTweek, what are your qualifcations in data recovery and Quantun Physics to comment on data recovery? [01:11] LAU_, looks like some sort of gaming site [01:11] kantor: he just wont believe that data can be recovered from a written sector [01:12] i even tried adding user www-data to my group [01:12] tommy_, last warning === tscolin is now known as _tscolin [01:12] question... will ubuntu install on an external usb hdd? [01:12] McVista, sure [01:12] musikgoat: I am using the Live CD, which is why I'm lost [01:12] soundray, ok thank you [01:12] bazhang, ok i understand, thanks [01:12] bazhang but i got an account and i dont know how to enter the game [01:12] and tried to chown the public_html directory to www-data, but it isn't working still [01:12] kantor, yes my holiday pics I accidently overwrote [01:13] soundray, hey.. find the problem [01:13] !usb | McVista [01:13] McVista: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent [01:13] alnokta: just make sure it is world readable and owner to public_html is you [01:13] Ours: can you right click on the partition in question and go to information and see what it says [01:13] kahrytan: graphics card not seated properly? [01:13] soundray, OpenSUSE live made light of it [01:13] so chmod it to 755 and it should be fine [01:13] kantor, I have a 5GB partition for my personal pics. I overwrote the whole 5GB partition till it said FULL. Now I want the original files back that are "under" the new data [01:13] soundray, openSUSE live cd thought my tvtuner was my video card. And thought, what if ubuntu was thinking the same [01:13] thanks [01:13] alnokta: chmod 700 public_html will never work [01:14] tommy_ look for a professional data recovery ferm [01:14] kahrytan: so you used the Bus ID option? [01:14] *firm [01:14] soundray, I removed tv tuner card. [01:14] Hi all! [01:14] How do i make this usb key into a live "cd" [01:14] soundray, I guess I have to like to do irqs. [01:14] sudo does not work, can somebody help me pls? [01:14] testdisk and photorec might work [01:14] soundray, Bus id? [01:14] almostdvs: dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdX [01:14] rapha, what are you trying to do, and what user are you using [01:14] anyone want to help me with trying to go past 800x600 in xubuntu? [01:15] Rampage, i did chmod 700 /home/alnokta .. the public_html is in /home/alnokta/public_html .. [01:15] kahrytan: okay, if you need that tuner card back, you should look into docs how to specify a card's PCI bus id in xorg.conf [01:15] alguien sabe español?? [01:15] www.pastebin.ca/1041668 - my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file [01:15] !es | utz [01:15] utz: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [01:15] rapha: can you explain that a little bit [01:15] soundray, I do need it back [01:15] kahrytan: lspci tells you the bus ids in your system [01:15] alnokta: do chmod 755 /home/alnokta/public_html [01:15] Ok thanks :) ubottu [01:15] im facing alot of troubles from downloading Compiz fusion and i neeed Helppppppp i v tried many ways but its not working>can any1 help plzzz guys [01:15] nickrud, well I wanted to ask you guys first, before I spent a lot of time and money with data recovery companies to get back my overwritten files [01:15] soundray, So your try another distro was good idea but narrowed it down to hw conflict [01:15] alnokta: do chmod -R 755 /home/alnokta/public_html rather [01:16] tommy_, if it was overwritten 1 or 2 times or even three times can be recovered but only with special techniques like MFM (Magnetic Force Microscopy) [01:16] musikgoat: if I were to shrink down ext3 from 100 gigs down to 5, would I run into any problems in the long run? [01:16] tommy_ like you said earlier, you need people with the right knowledge set, quantum stuff and whatever [01:16] Rampage, You don't have permission to access /~alnokta on this server. [01:16] Rampage: my normal user; when I login to the server and type "sudo somecommand" I'm asked for the password, but nothing happens.When I try a second time, I'm not asked for the password anymore (normal) but still get an empty prompt back :-/ [01:16] soundray, How can something be so something screw things up [01:16] I'm thinking if I were to do that, I'd have the room to increase the ntfs drive [01:16] be so simple [01:16] Rampage, drwxr-xr-x 3 alnokta alnokta 4096 2008-06-08 01:11 public_html [01:16] nickrud, I am surprised and amazed that a 5GB partition that has been 100% overwritten, can still get back the original files that are now "under" the new files. Amazing I didnt know that [01:16] alnokta: Okay thats fine, does it work now [01:16] Ours: you should be able to run your / ubuntu on 5GB, as long as you don't install alot of stuff, maybe with the space you have 10 would be better [01:17] almostdvs: image.iso is the image you'd like to boot from. sdX is your usb drive. something like sdc or sdd [01:17] im facing alot of troubles from downloading Compiz fusion and i neeed Helppppppp i v tried many ways but its not working>can any1 help plzzz guys?? [01:17] Rampage, nope :( [01:17] tommy_: learn new things every day [01:17] part of the reason i moved to linux (previous ubunytu's) was lack of need for reboot on updates. so whats with so many restarts needed with hardy updates? [01:17] soundray, what do you know of bus ids? [01:17] kahrytan: put the blame on backwards compatibility. The PC's IRQ design is ancient and should have long been thrown out [01:17] rapha: is that the case with all commands? see if iptables works so do "sudo iptables -L" [01:17] musikgoat, yeah.:) the other day I learned that goats can play the drums :) [01:17] im facing alot of troubles from downloading Compiz fusion and i neeed Helppppppp i v tried many ways but its not working>can any1 help plzzz guys?? [01:17] im facing alot of troubles from downloading Compiz fusion and i neeed Helppppppp i v tried many ways but its not working>can any1 help plzzz guys??

[01:17] im facing alot of troubles from downloading Compiz fusion and i neeed Helppppppp i v tried many ways but its not working>can any1 help plzzz guys?? [01:17] kahrytan: not much, only that you can use them to tell the X server exactly what card to use [01:17] LAU_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:17] biabia for the kernel and libc6 (most fundamental library) you do need to reboot, but nothing else that I know of [01:18] Rampage, doing ls -l on /home gives: drwx------ 11 alnokta alnokta 4096 2008-06-08 01:06 alnokta [01:18] alnokta: so what are you getting now [01:18] good morning [01:18] tommy_, sorry was afk. 63.8% [01:18] the last 3 updates ive got needed restart [01:18] alnokta: when you go to http://localhost~alnokta [01:18] does anyone know how to get my volume as high as it is in windows?

You do have to set it up for some chips though [01:19] kahrytan: EFI seems to be on the way to enabling that [01:19] Jalathan that ok i just unistall here a few stuff from desktop LOL whithapt-get and now to install it loooks it is start to be a litlecomplcade LOl [01:19] kahrytan: we're offtopic -- let's not catch bazhang's attention [01:19] hello [01:19] soundray, if pc boards had efi, apple is screwed.

[01:20] tommy_, so that the items that were placed into RAM a long time ago, but are seldom used are being placed in the swap, so that the disk cache has more room to work with === rug|af|fukn|k is now known as ruggy_ [01:20] MightyTweek, That webpage you gave me, can I show you what it says? [01:20] cruiseoveride: wow [01:20] dolphin_noel, good luck [01:20] alnokta: you say that it works when you chmod home to 755 [01:20] musikgoat, look at this.... [01:20] * Jalathan is afk [01:20] Hi. I've installed Ubuntu on several machines, but hit a new problem today: On a fresh install of Hardy, the fonts are occasionally HUGE (like 300 pixels or 90 points). [01:20] that why microsoft need to be carefull whith patents of software because we opensource EXISTE FIRST beford THEY :) [01:20] james_, i know. but they are few and expensive. [01:20] musikgoat, Substantial criticism has followed, primarily dealing with the lack of any concrete examples of significant amounts of overwritten data being recovered.[5][6] To guard against this type of data recovery, he and Colin Plumb designed the Gutmann method, which is used by several disk scrubbing software packages. Although Gutmann's theory may not be wrong, there's no practical evidence that overwritten data can be recovered [01:20] so basic they shoud never exist microsoft lol [01:20] dah [01:21] nickrud, did you see that?? from that webpage [01:21] rapha: sudo won't work as rahpa is not a member or admin (admin group members can use sudo by the default ubuntu config) [01:21] Rampage, yup it works well [01:21] i know i have compiz but i need to install compiz fusionn [01:21] tommy_: tell that to data recovery companies that do it every day [01:21] The first place it shows up is the login screen. Everything appears normal, but when typing in the username, the font in the input window is crazy big. [01:21] LAU_ same thing [01:21] musikgoat, have you seen it done with your own eyes? [01:21] how [01:21] Rampage, but when i chmod 700 alnokta .. it stops working [01:21] musikgoat, im just pasting from the weblink you gave me lol [01:21] i've had customers thank me for the recommendations that they recieved [01:21] kahrytan, might there be a certain manufacturer ( BFG maybe or Asus) that have that feature? [01:21] Rampage: k, I'll try to fix that through the server rescue console then... [01:22] LAU_ you have compiz-fusion in ubuntu, we just say compiz for short (easier to type) [01:22] musikgoat, it seems that data recovery of overwritten data is a scam and there is no practical evidence that overwritten data can be recovered [01:22] alnokta: Ah, I'm not sure why its doing that :-( [01:22] musikgoat, the data they get back is NOT overwritten data [01:22] tommy_: ok whatever you want to believe [01:22] ops but i have compiz but not compiz fusion [01:22] kahrytan, I also thought that foxconn offered some boards with EFI option [01:22] musikgoat, have you personally recovred overwritten data? [01:22] !compiz | LAU_ [01:22] LAU_: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [01:22] LAU_, its the same thing [01:22] james_, I never seen them in newegg yet [01:22] musikgoat, if not, then you cannot make such a claim [01:23] rapha: you want to add rapha to the admin group so do "adduser rapha admin" as root user [01:23] no i have not... your right [01:23] musikgoat, you do not work for any data recovery company that has recovred overwritten data, right? [01:23] LAU_ used to be there was compiz, and beryl. Compiz-fusion joined them, and that's what we use in ubuntu [01:23] kahrytan, lemme search quick [01:23] i need to run xp on ubuntu, what the best vm to use [01:23] ? [01:23] musikgoat, the data recovery companies can get back data, but not data thats been overwtitten. I am quoting the webpage you, nickrud and MightyTweek recommended :P [01:24] Rampage: okay. Can take a couple of minutes... === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [01:24] WIDESPREADpanic, why not dual boot them? [01:24] musikgoat, I just read another article from "experts" who claimed that Gutterman scammed everyone so they will use his wipe program. as there has NEVER been any solid evidence that overwritten data can be recovered [01:24] tommy_, any chance you could please stop tolling? [01:24] how im able to install comiz fusion i know that but i dont know its not working and its not being downloaded [01:25] sorry trolling. [01:25] LAU_ sudo apt-get install compiz gets you compiz-fusion. It comes with ubuntu [01:25] LAU_, how are you trying to install it === JackWinter_ is now known as JackWinter [01:25] from the terminal [01:25] alnokta: I seem to be getting the same errors on my system too [01:25] MeRodent, I pay my toll every day as I drive my car :) [01:25] Is there an Ubuntu light version I can install on a 512mb flash drive? [01:25] LAU_ one question: which version of ubuntu are you using? [01:26] musikgoat: I still can't get the locks off by the sda3, I've tried restarting and I've tried right-clicking and going to properties. It doesn't tell me how to delete that partition :/ [01:26] nickrud, did you see that info from that webpage MightyTweek and musikgoat gave? [01:26] cruiseoveride, not currently, there is DSL thats pretty light, i believe you could fit that on a flash drive, (cant get help from us here though) [01:26] cruiseoveride: server might fit [01:26] Ubunutu 7.04 feisty [01:26] Rampage, so what to do? :) [01:26] !server | cruiseoveride [01:26] cruiseoveride: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support [01:27] i did used wht u told me then wht is the next step [01:27] soundray, i think servers even bigger than 512MB...not sure though. [01:27] Peter Gutterman has scammed millions of ignorant users :( [01:27] soundray, last time i downloaded an iso of it, it was. [01:27] thank you soundray, will give that a go [01:27] alnokta: ah i got it, do "chmod 711 /home/alnokta" [01:27] alan_m: the iso might be, but the installed version isn't, especially if you don't go overboard at the tasksel step [01:27] i did used wht u told me then wht is the next step??plz [01:27] alnokta: You need execute permissions else you get permission denied [01:28] How do I "unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 5?" [01:28] musikgoat, this is from that wiki page.. "there's no practical evidence that overwritten data can be recovered. Moreover, there are good reasons to think that it cannot." [01:28] alnokta: hope that works [01:28] Rampage, thanks ,.. it works :) [01:28] Ours: to "unmount" your /dev/sda6, run 'sudo swapoff' [01:28] soundray, last time i tried server, it just gave me base and couldnt finish the install, so i had a terrible experience :( [01:28] LAU_ then from the system menu, system->preferences->appearances, visual effect tab, turn it on there [01:28] alnokta: you're welcome [01:28] I am having trouble getting an external monitor to work with my laptop [01:28] alan_m: Sounds like a bad burn [01:28] musikgoat, Gutterman made a lot of claims that apparently the critics have challenged him to prove, yet to date, Gutterman has been unable to prove that overwritten data can be recovered [01:29] LAU_ gotta give people a chance to type, patience is useful [01:29] Flannel, checked the iso, burned at lowest speed.... [01:29] musikgoat, what you say about that? [01:29] Sry:$ [01:29] Flannel, everything was right [01:29] Ours: on the live disk, are you running gparted under sudo? [01:29] Rampage, it was a major annoyance , i didn't want users to look at each others' files and in the same time i wanted them to use ~username [01:29] gksudo [01:29] (The fonts were so big that it was impossible to read ubuntuforums with a GUI-based browser -- though google's search results were in a reasonable size.) [01:29] i dont have the appearneces:S:S [01:30] Flannel, in any case, im fixing to get one of the newer dvd's from the canonical store so i know its gonna burn right...i know..OT..sorry. [01:30] alan_m: oh, too bad... Last time I did a server install, I did it in a vm, then copied it to a laptop drive for a laptop with no net or CD drive. I'm still amazed that it worked ;) [01:30] musikgoat just sudo [01:30] alnokta: yeah [01:30] kjcole, Might have just had a zoom preference for that page, did you try ctrl+0 ? [01:30] musikgoat, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Gutmann_(computer_scientist) <-- this guy is a fruitcake and has been contradicted many times. Read it === Ttech is now known as Ttech2 [01:31] soundray it's asking me for a usage (-hv/-a/-v) which one? o.O [01:31] musikgoat, i wouldnt believe what Gutterman told you [01:31] LAU_ what version of ubuntu are you running? [01:31] Ours: -a (sorry) [01:31] ubunutu 7.04 Feisty [01:31] yey he left?!? [01:31] good riddance [01:31] LAU_ ah! you're right, feisty didn't have compiz it used beryl. [01:32] Jordan_U, This was on a fresh install of Ubuntu hardy. I was continuing to relate a problem that also exists at the login screen. (Most of the screen looks normal [01:32] Ah, thank you. Last time you told me that, I did alt+f2, as opposed to doing it in the terminal, so I didn't understand why it didn't work [01:32] yessss soo..im not able to install Compiz-Fusion but i do have compiz and ofcourse beryl [01:32] musikgoat: feel free to complain next time [01:32] how do i install vmware server? [01:32] does anyone know if filthpig ever got video fixed? [01:32] LAU_ I'd suggest installing hardy if you really want compiz. If you're not totally comfortable compiling software and redoing your system config, you will get it done much faster and safer [01:32] Jordan_U, but the text entered into the username and password areas is, I'd guess 300 pixels tall.) [01:32] soundray: i put him on ignore... was he still talking? :-) [01:33] soundray, btw, I just upgraded to P-DC 2ghz with 250gb hdd. And now that i have compiz working. I can have lil fun/ [01:33] musikgoat, he wouldn't shut up. [01:33] musikgoat: indeed [01:33] LAU_ and when I say compiz, I always mean compiz-fusion since beryl and compiz(old) are essentially dead projects [01:33] soundray: i just thought he gave up cause i wasn't responding [01:33] kahrytan: enjoy [01:33] aha gr8.But hardy is the new version for ubuntu or wht? [01:33] Though the lock by extended is gone, I still can't delete it. Any clue? [01:33] Rampage: looks like the provider's rescue console doesn't allow you to access the system that normally runs (kind of stupid). I requrested a Lara now, but that will probnably take until tomorrow. Thanks for your help! [01:33] yeah i got that interesting [01:34] i need to install bitchx [01:34] kjcole, Possibly not detecting your DPI correctly and only certain parts of the UI are trying to adjust to this incorrect DPI?

[01:34] WIDESPREADpanic, enable canonical partner repos [01:34] if so do "su root" [01:34] i havnt worked on my Ubunutu for 8 months thats y im a bit lost and ignorant:S:S [01:34] login as root and then "adduser rapha admin" [01:34] Jordan_U, I believe you're on the right track...

[01:35] WIDESPREADpanic, how what? [01:35] how do i do what u said [01:35] rapha: non-Ubuntu system I guess? [01:35] Rampage: i think he's just reacting to some pattern.

[01:36] LAU_ if you don't have a separate /home partition, it would be wise. And then create a / as about 12-15gb, and the rest as /home. Then you won't need to do a backup for a reinstall [01:36] rapha: there is no reason why you should need to. And a great security risk if you do [01:36] soundray: no. its ubuntu alright, but i locked myself out - my own bad [01:36] Jack_Sparrow, soundray: not sure how else to add the user to admin group hence be able to use sudo [01:36] philosophe, you want a cli based irc client? then irssi is the one :) [01:36] !upgrade | LAU_ you can also go this way, without doing a backup, but not recommended by me [01:36] LAU_ you can also go this way, without doing a backup, but not recommended by me: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:36] i need to install vmware on ubuntu, why is it so hard?

Or virtualbox , many like that more than vmware [01:46] linkmaster03, i don't think so. AFAIK there is a gsoc project going on for that [01:46] virtualbox says error when i run it [01:46] Pici, save space [01:46] tommy_ sure, but why? [01:46] thanks guys [01:46] Pici, do I need them for any reason? [01:47] nickrud, save space, and why would I need them? [01:47] tommy_: They will be re-created the next time you boot.

[01:54] linkmaster03, oh, codeweaver's crossover office plugin handler is quite good if you can't do without, i didn't realise anyone still used director [01:54] linkmaster03: There is no Linux version of Shockwave.

[02:01] kahrytan, ok. how do I tell Hardy to use my 7300 NVidia? [02:01] tommy_, you can try disabling compiz and try [02:01] is there a reason that my keyboard occasionally stops working and i have to restart to get it working again/ [02:01] utzxubiru: if you have /home on a separte partition, all you have to do is reinstall [02:01] PhilH hahahahahaha (not laughing at you, I learned the same thing) [02:01] anyone know how I can install Nvidia 7300 drivers on Hardy? [02:02] the problem is not serious but i cant figure anything else my network conection is not working..lol [02:02] tommy_ system->admin->hardware manager should do it for you [02:02] Hallo! Please, is anybody out there able to tell me, if a long version off the little piece of music to be heared when loading UBUNTU, is existing? If yes, where can I get it? [02:02] nickrud, one of the early linux distros i used was mandrake, now that was a distro which handled graphical installation and partitioning elegantly, ubuntu is shockingly bad even compared to MDK 7.0 [02:02] tommy_, sometimes games doesn't work exactly as expected with compiz.. you can switch to metacity using "metacity --replace", but that'll disable all your compiz effects [02:02] utzxubiru wired or wireless (don't ask me about wireless) [02:02] nickrud, you mean hardware drivers? I dont see "hardware manager" [02:02] i can't past a file into a folder ? how can i do it ? [02:03] PhilH started with the same era, and it was usable [02:03] tommy_, You installed nvidia driver? [02:03] sandaruwan, whats compiz? [02:03] THWZ: i think that is as ling as it gets: you can find the file in /usr/share/sounds [02:03] *long [02:03] kahrytan, i dont think I have, how I install nvidia driver? [02:03] tommy_ yeah, that's what I meant. They changed the name of it and I mix it up sometimes [02:03] tomaw, just do it through hardware driver and it wil set up xorg for oyu [02:03] THX, I'll try! [02:03] nickrud, hehe ok :) [02:03] !postfix [02:03] postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer [02:03] nickrud, what was usable? [02:04] !mailserver [02:04] Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command.

[02:04] PhilH the install. 7.1 I think it was for me [02:04] hello. I'm trying to install plugins on firefox 2... it gives me a 203 error unless i have root access, but when i install the plugin on root then it doesnt see it on my non-admin login. anyone know how to get around this? [02:04] nickrud, it showed Nvidia "NOT IN USE" with RED DOT [02:04] my keyboard stops working after a while, does anyone know what causes this/ [02:04] tommy_ is the installed checkmark checked? [02:04] nickrud, yeah, no sarcasm intended, it was more than usable, it was user friendly, if only ubuntu could be as good :-s [02:04] nickrud, i did now, it says I need to reboot. BRB [02:05] Is there an environmental variable that use to figure out the xsession in the .xsession file (so I can start specific programs based on the session)? [02:05] nickrud, wish me luck, if you dont see me again that means Hardy wont boot :P [02:05] * nickrud slaps PhilH all around the channel for heresy [02:05] nickrud, it was certainly a step up from RH 5.2! [02:05] will00: is it reproducable? or only sometimes happens? [02:05] * PhilH cowers [02:06] hey, I have a music folder on my windows hard drive. I would like to my a symbolic link to this folder in ubuntu. How can I do this so that everytime I boot up, the folder will still be there. also if I add to this folder, will the music be uploaded to my windows folder [02:06] PhilH with all it's problems it's still the best version I've used for ease of install, really. For nearly everyone the live works great [02:07] killux, is your windows drive mounted? [02:07] not right now sandaruwan [02:07] if i have a snd drive and its /dev/sdb1 how do i mount it? i have made folder in /media/storage so isnt it ¨mount /dev/sdb1 /media/storage¨? [02:07] killux: ln -s /folder-in-windows /home//Music [02:07] For some reason, none of my usual apps are making sound. When I try aplay I get: [02:07] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [02:07] aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy [02:07] tj83 yes, using sudo [02:07] nickrud, the memory overhead of running the installer from within a liveCD environment forced me into the altCD for 7.04, for 8.04, on a machine with 1 gig of ram, it finds new ways to annoy me [02:08] anyway, i'll stop whingeing and get the alt ISO [02:08] killux, after it's mounted use the "ln" command Odd-rationale mentioned [02:09] nickrud: yes it see the shockwave plugin but still no video [02:09] Odd-rationale: how do you make it so that it will be linked on boot up? [02:09] Odd-rationale: There is only the login-sound; I thought it could be part of a longer peiece of music. [02:09] nickrud it didnt work... says /dev/sdb1 doesnt exist. [02:09] radius_ go to ' google flash test ' , see if it works there [02:09] nickrud, wow, the windows I open now have a fancy style. But Hardy reported that the new driver cannot be supported by Ubuntu. [02:09] THWZ: no it is not part of a longer piece... === brocebeats is now known as brocebegone [02:10] nickrud, it now says.. "new restricted drivers in use". [02:10] tj832, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb [02:10] whats that mean? [02:10] hi, i can't find where my cdrom drive is mounted - if i insert a cd it plays in rhythmbox automatically, but i can't figure out where it is [02:10] killux: if you link it like how i showed you. it should work. Does your windows drive mount on boot up? [02:10] tj832 are you sure you have formatted the new second drive? [02:10] hmmm, how about installing with wubi and moving that to a real partition afterwards, is that more likely to be successful? [02:10] compiz isnt starting correctly on boot, how do i get it back to normal? [02:10] tommy_ now in a terminal type glxinfo | grep direct , if it says yes you have 3d accel for games [02:10] Odd-rationale: no It doesn't how can I make it mount on boot? [02:10] it means that you are using a no open source driver [02:10] nickrud .. yes.. it contains data and fdisk shows it as /dev/sdb1 [02:11] Odd-rationale: THX, I think I'd have liked it. [02:11] tj832 sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt , try that [02:11] killux, you'll have to edit /etc/fstab [02:11] hey all [02:11] where can I download the ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 from? I have no net connection in my ubuntu installation so I want to copy it on the windows drive and install it from there... [02:11] killux: sure. you will need to edit your /etc/fstab file. let me try to find a good link... [02:11] hey all can some one tell me how to install epona-1.5rc3 [02:11] guys, i can't figure out how to record sound from "myself"... if it's posible in ubuntu, like in win ) [02:12] nickrud thank you that worked [02:12] actually i think it maybe under /dev/scd0 [02:12] Nevermind: use gnome-sound-recorder [02:12] but i can't mount that [02:12] one more question, Odd-rationale or sandaruwan, lets say I upload a new music album to this linked folder in ubuntu, will the new album still be phiscally on my windows drive? [02:12] killux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab there is an heading for ntfs [02:12] ok thanks [02:12] cara http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ [02:12] killux: yes [02:12] nickrud... now where did it go? /mnt? [02:12] thanks nickrud [02:12] Odd-rationale: ok cool, thanks. [02:12] tj832 yes. If you want it on your desktop, you'll need to create a dir in /media , then do the mount command with that as the target [02:13] tj832 mnt is used for temporary mounts, not meant to be a permanent location [02:13] killux: so basically, you need to do 2 things: 1. automount your windows partion. 2. link your music folder in winodws to ubuntu (ln -s / brb === brocebegone is now known as brocebeats [02:14] nickrud i did make a mount dir.... storage /media/storage it wouldnt mount there [02:14] tj832 try again, if it works on /mnt it'll work on any dir. Check for typos [02:15] nickrud... ok will try again.. but i have done this multiple times [02:15] nickrud to un-mount umount /dev/sdb1? [02:15] tj832 and you can see the files in /mnt ? [02:15] tj832 yes [02:15] how do i install .rpm file & .tar.gz ? [02:16] Question: How do I set my time for GMT [02:16] nickrud.. yes the files in /mnt are useable [02:16] man: what program are you trying to install? [02:16] man rpms, you don't . tar.gz depends on what's inside it [02:16] man: you should try to use .deb not .rpm [02:16] man, for rpm you can use alien to convert those to deb [02:16] Odd-rationale:vmware [02:16] so my drive is installed, i just don't know what it's mount point is [02:16] man: vmware is in the repos. use apt-get or synaptics to intall [02:16] this is weird, any ideas? [02:16] alien is a beast that will rip out the guts of your machine [02:17] Hello. I have my clock set to Casablanca, but its WRONG [02:17] are there any games for Ubunut that look really nice and 3D? [02:17] man system->admin->software sources, 3d party tab: enable canonical partners , then install vmware-server [02:17] Ubuntu is showing Casablanca as being 2:17 now, but it is 1:17 [02:17] i didnt like tremulous, it doesnt look nice at all [02:17] jals mount in a terminal [02:18] are there any games, besides tremulous for Ubuntu that look really nice and 3D? [02:18] Qrawl you can change UTC in /etc/defaults/rcS [02:18] tommy_: gl-117 [02:18] * mistya is away: Serenella X X X [02:18] nickrud, ty [02:18] !games | tommy_ [02:18] tommy_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php [02:18] Qrawl that might be a time change bug, if changing utc doesn't help you might check for that [02:19] how do i check dma on my hd and cd rom [02:19] I'm currently running 7.04. I have the 8.04 CD from Canonical. Is there a way to use the 8.04 kubuntu disk as an upgrade source? [02:19] ohhh, gl-117 . Forgot about that one [02:19] Odd-rationale, wghats gl-117? [02:19] is Wolfenstein Enemy Territory look good? [02:19] tommy_: flight game. graphics are not too bad.... [02:19] i got this error "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.4-1gutsy2_i386.deb: subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" [02:19] Firefishe no, you'd have to upgrade to 7.10 before you can use the 8.04 to finish the upgrade [02:20] Odd-rationale, whats the most visually and grapphically best game for Ubuntu? [02:20] ok thanks nickrud, but i guess what i mean is, cds play when i insert them, but my drive isn't mounted, cos it doesn't appear under 'mount' in terminal [02:20] man put the complete error on paste.ubuntu.com , the real error came earlier in the output [02:20] nickrud, UTC=yes . maybe my system clock is messed up [02:20] jals they don't mount for music iirc [02:20] how do i check dma on my hd is on/off ? [02:20] nickrud hey hey hey .. its working now in /media/storge.... weird thanx dude [02:20] tommy_: i'm not a big gamer. i just like games like frozen-bubble, supertux, and wesnoth... :) [02:20] nickrud: okay, so what's involved with upgrading to 7.10? sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade ??

[02:21] How do I set up a driver for my G15 keyboard, running Kubuntu 8.04? [02:21] it appears to be under cdda://scd0/ [02:21] man: try "sudo apt-get update" first [02:21] but that's not a real mountpoint is it? [02:21] jals correct. Music disks don't get "mounted" [02:22] ok, but isn't the drive in general mounted somewhere? [02:22] so it's easily accessible via like /cdrom [02:22] tommy_: i can tell you about a game that is in development that looks REALLY good. it is due by the end of this year...

[02:26] achandrashekar: how do you feel with human theme in your reduced screen? [02:26] achandrashekar: the wife lost a great opportunity ;) [02:26] ever since i installed fusion-icon, compiz isnt starting on boot, under the menu it has compiz selected, but i have to restart the window manager for compiz to actually run, how do i fix this? [02:26] I just loaded nvidia legacy driver for my nv15 gts/pro geforce2 card . . . now gnome just has a black background with white mouse . . . . i installed xfce at commande line, all the fonts transformed to really tiny [02:27] lol [02:27] bmk789: you sure it's not starting considering compiz does nothing by default [02:27] LucaCappelletti: its fine for me..because the ubuntu eee script that is available resizes fonts and pretty much fixes the issues associated like acpi and such [02:27] LucaCappelletti: he should sold his wife... lol [02:27] grip needs a location for my cdrom, what do i put in [02:28] kitche: ive had compiz running almost perfectly on boot until i installed fusion-icon [02:28] jals, /cdrom [02:28] hi, I'm having a little trouble getting my ATi Mobility Radeon 9200 to work with fglrx after upgrading to 8.04.

[02:28] Jalathan, this is what i'm saying though, that isn't working [02:28] LucaCappelletti: and i learned a few tricks with USB install process [02:28] bmk789: well fusion-icon is the way to start compiz-fusion if your trying to start -fusion === _choc is now known as choc [02:28] LucaCappelletti: how do I do that??

[02:29] Hi, I have a question about a recent download: it first tells me to Untar the data files with 'cd ' and 'tar zxvf rr_data0.5.0.tgz' and I don't quite understand this, being the noob that I am [02:29] jals, hrm...

[02:57] Sully7, but you're using the standard sound output from the computer? I mean via minijack? [02:57] cruddpuppet: and you put this blank page on that port number? [02:57] Hey anyone here play Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne? [02:57] no [02:58] not me at least [02:58] man: what exactly do you want to do?

I have apache running on port 13337, as it won't let me run it on port 80 [02:58] hmm, hey all, im having real issues installing ubuntu on a toshiba laptop, would it be any easier to install it across a network from this ubuntu machine?

[02:59] filthpig, I have a creative audigy [02:59] connor:yes [02:59] bloodrock, trying to mount my cd drive [02:59] on my bios, i have to go to the boot menu, and it recognizes usb hard drives and FLASH DRIVES as ide hard drives O_O [02:59] cruddpuppet: heh, well, it sucks that it won't let you run it on port 80. Thats weird right there. BUT, you should be able to use apache configs to redirect domains to a different port. I think, not totally sure [02:59] jals it's not auto mounting when you put a cd in it ? [03:00] danbhfive: Thanks, I'll look into it. === Muffie is now known as Rappaporti [03:00] man: see this http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ [03:00] to mount a cd drive a readable cd has to be in it [03:00] Sully7, ok. hm, I think this might be a PulseAudio issue.. Your speakers are just fine, right? [03:00] talking animal movie. [03:00] ya [03:01] filthpig, my speakers work great [03:01] bloodboy, kinda of, but not in consistently accessible location, ie, /cdrom [03:03] ok, i think ive found the problem, these laptops have 248 megs of ram [03:03] twisted [03:03] cruddpuppet: take a look at /etc/apache2/ports.conf [03:03] how can I configure VLC to use pulseaudio?

[03:04] hello, can someone help me, when i click under places to mount my 160GB linux partioned hdd i receive an error saying mount point can not contain the folllowing characters, i messed this up by clicking properties and in the gui options changing the mout point to /media/point but now i cant fix it [03:04] Thanks. [03:04] Sully7 seems like a few people are having the same problems with usb headsets [03:04] i'm still here... anyone have an idea :D?

[03:05] has anyone had issues getting ubuntu to work through spdif [03:05] cruddpuppet: take care [03:05] Sully7 It has to do with how the app handles sound [03:06] danbhfive: virtual box does not work with the latest kernel, and I need help getting it running [03:06] !sudo > shamus [03:06] shamus: enable proposed in sources.list, and download the -18 version of vbox-modules [03:06] fsckd, I understand Frostwire not working, but Banshee?

The issue is the apps themselves and how they communicate with the rest of the system, I guess. Rythmbox/audacious/xmms/bmp/whatever works fine with the headset? [03:08] Flannel, which one? [03:08] in etc? [03:08] filthpig, I can check if you want me to [03:08] my mp3 codec dosent play sound [03:08] they probably can [03:08] moDumasser: sad thing is I could tell you on windows or OS X I just don't know for linux [03:09] Sully7 yea it seems strange === moDumasser is now known as modumass [03:09] Sully7, it would be nice as it would either confirm my suspicion or give a pointer to where the problem lies [03:09] filthpig and fsckd, give me 5 minutes then [03:09] danbhfive: it is now saying I dont have permission to use the module on my username, however i have added my user name through the terminal, do I have to restart the service?

[03:11] so it seems there is no support for ATi Mobility radeon older than 9500 in hardy? Is there some way to enable the drivers from gutsy? [03:12] shamus: you have to be member of vboxuser group [03:12] shamus: I believe its actually a user group, hence the command to add your user to the vboxusers [03:12] is there an panel applet which will show the status of caps/numlock?

[03:21] yea I have never had much luck with the upgrades [03:21] LuluFiasco: I would have thought most people running Slackware or Slackware based would love to get rid of Windows, this is going off topic though [03:21] SebNaitsabes: my first linux distro was slack and it was fun :) [03:21] marc_ just roll an egg off the table [03:21] j/k [03:21] laco: never had luck w/ slax...too geeky for me rotf [03:21] * SebNaitsabes WIndows won't boot. a virus? probably or something like that caused that [03:22] :o [03:22] hymm [03:22] laco: those were the days... [03:22] hmm [03:22] I'm trying to use VMware and it's asking me for a file that exists, and when I point it to the file it asks for it recursively. I know this probably isn't quite the place to ask, but hey, it's on ubuntu [03:22] sebnaitsabes: did you use wubi? [03:22] * SebNaitsabes and by the sounds of it, it's not hardware since the data can be accessed on a Live CD [03:22] sensae: use virtualbox [03:22] I just add an extra partition for /home so i can keep my configs in a safe place [03:22] bloodboy, but can u pv me i cant see [03:22] on hardy, totem randomly restarts X when starting to play a video file, I have YouTube plugin enabled and the last restart was when I was trying to watch a YouTube video, is there a unresolved bug there?

[03:22] askvictor: im not so old :) it was only 4 years ago :) [03:22] sensae: virtualbox is much better than vmware, and stuff runs better on it [03:22] i dont know [03:22] i use ubuntu [03:22] i actually used wubi [03:22] concor: Wubi no and the Debian one, no ,but years ago I tryed something similar for some other distro, didn't get that far with that though, but I was LInux noob then [03:23] fsckd and filthpig, I restarted my computer and tried the music players, but they didn't work. In fact, nothing puts sound through my speakers now. I think that is because I downloaded some PulseAudio plugins, which also added PulseAudio to the list of sound cards available in "asound-gtk". [03:23] how to turn off gdm? [03:23] i used virtualbox and it worked great [03:23] Well I have a special set up [03:23] therealballchalk: go to the terminal and type killall gdm [03:23] try that [03:23] LuluFiasco: ah ha I got an idea for you, that might fix Windows, well two in fact [03:23] I have Windows XP on another partition and I'm trying to boot it as a VM [03:23] !enter | connor [03:23] connor: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[03:23] theRealBallchalk: go to one of the 7 VT's then do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [03:23] laco: sorry; still equate slackware with the dawn of the linux era, I forget ppl still use it :) [03:23] tech0007 i mean at boot up [03:24] LuluFiasco: well if you got a Windows CD the obvious thing is to try that and see if that will fix your boot [03:24] connor Who are you saying no to [03:24] i think X windows in itself is lame [03:24] CLI is gonna conquer the world [03:24] sensae: you would have to image it and restore into vm [03:24] Hello, I was trying to open remote files on Hardy, if I open nautilus and then I type ftp://user@myserver.com/ and click enter then I got a window asking for the password and then I can connect, BUT if I do it for instance on gedit, click open, then I type the same ftp url, I got Could not find the file /home/user/ftp:/myserver.com.. Does anyone knows why this is happening? [03:24] Anyone know what lib is glbc? [03:24] Anyone know what lib is glibc? [03:24] Anyone??? [03:24] jack_sparrow: i was saying no to ubottu [03:24] Zend Ide?

[03:25] fsckd and filthpig, are you still there? [03:25] on hardy, totem randomly restarts X when starting to play a video file, I have YouTube plugin enabled and the last restart was when I was trying to watch a YouTube video, is there a unresolved bug there? [03:25] hoennshipping is the couple brendan and may [03:25] tech0007 how? [03:25] fsckd, the configs are of no importance to me, and this is my mom's laptop. She only uses it for browsing and stuff, but she'd like to play around with Google Earth.. Oh well, I'll see if I can find some empty cd-r tomorrow anddo a fresh install. [03:25] Anyone know what lib is glibc? [03:25] It just goes back to black. [03:25] DIL: I'm not sure I follow, but I don't want it to be an image. I want a native-bootable -and- VM-bootable partition [03:25] checking for gcc... gcc [03:25] checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [03:25] See `config.log' for more details.

[03:25] Sully7, yea, bu it' 4.25 am right now, so I have to sleep for a while, I guess [03:25] And it's been set up before, I know it will work. You just need to set up different hardware profiles [03:25] Does anybody know how to get spdif working? [03:25] ok filthpig [03:26] I'm just having technical problems with VMware [03:26] Oh, okay. So I should just Google search Ultimate Boot CD and go from there? [03:26] well that will get the LInux one yes [03:26] as for the Windows one [03:26] !ot [03:26] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:26] sensae: virtualbox can't open vmx files, but it can use vmdk (vmware disk) images. So you'd need to create a virtual machine in virtualbox and point it's disk to the vmdk from vmware [03:26] do you guys use vmware for work or for home? [03:26] LuluFiasco: http://www.ubcd4win.com [03:26] Hi. I have a folder in my trash. when i click 'Empty Garbage Bin' it doesn't get removed. Any ideas?

Sounds like it should work then. [03:28] LuluFiasco: various ways that can be done [03:28] LuluFiasco: and I meant from Windows [03:28] rhilton: some google developers use it, but not all, and it's not anything official. [03:28] astro76: filthpig: That got it, thanks [03:28] askvictor: The vmdk is the important file. It points to /dev/sda, lol [03:28] illa: doubt it, ultimately they're little more than a big file that pretends to be a disk. If you get into snapshots there might be problems...

I know the graphics card is usable under linux using the free ATi drivers but it isn't working now. It is a clean install of 8.04. Heres the weird part: it works fine on the live disk [04:00] one last thing to do though, my usb haddrive mounts at bootup without an entry to /etc/fstab to /medis/disk... but i want it to be /media/FLIX [04:01] illa create the mount point you want and edit your fstab [04:01] hi, i can't seem to get any name resolution via firefox (tho other apps seem to do it fine) [04:01] hello. is there a way to add a generic kernel to a server? [04:01] where does it read a setting to mount as /media/disk though [04:01] gotta be somewhere [04:03] anyone? why am i suddenly unable to resolve domains in firefox? [04:03] if i put in an IP address it works fine [04:03] i guess there was no answer on that one [04:04] Hey! is there a dvdshrink for ubuntu??? [04:04] wolf8984: why were you banned?

[04:06] don't want to say [04:06] but it wasn't my fault [04:06] it is awesome but i still think it isnt as morrowind [04:07] Jack_Sparrow, is that for kde only, will it run on gnome [04:07] m_newton most apps will run in either, it just pulls in a few extra libs [04:08] is Starnestommy here? [04:08] Ok, I'm having trouble getting X to start properly on my laptop. I know the graphics card is usable under ubuntu using the free ATi drivers but it isn't working now. It is a clean install of 8.04. Here's the weird part: it works fine on the live disk [04:08] you want 3D effects or something? [04:08] debian is better than ubuntu [04:08] and xubuntu [04:08] can anyone tell me how to back up from a "my-packages" list????? [04:08] and screensavers maybe don't even work properly or at all? [04:08] and kubuntu [04:08] there is a program that will get the ATI driver for you [04:09] I'd like graphics in general SebNaitsabes. I only have terminal [04:09] lol [04:09] wolf8984: Was it because someone else was trying to be anonymous? [04:09] i see [04:09] BZWingZero: really what is this hardy ? [04:09] X is refusing to start at all. [04:09] what is this nullmailer-send process? [04:09] darkrai is legit though [04:09] and why is it always launching child processes? [04:09] can anyone tell me how to backup from a "my-packages" list????? [04:09] wolf8984 bri-h Take the offtopic to pm please [04:09] !clone [04:09] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [04:09] yes tmapj open synaptic there is an options under file [04:09] or that [04:09] hey jmax [04:10] dbmoodb, Yes, hardy. However I used 7.04 and 7.10 successfully but since I wiped and reinstalled I can't get graphics on either. 7.10 or 8.04 [04:10] mmm interesting what graphics device is it ? [04:11] ATi Mobility Radeon 9000 (RV250). === daYZman_ is now known as daYZman [04:11] ok so you install 8.04... and you update and you still can't get gui up [04:11] that is very weird there is now bullet proof x which, despite disliking at first i now sort of like (in some regards) [04:12] tmapj, do check the box "Save full system state, not only changes" [04:12] I didn't have an 8.04 disk available. I used a 7.10 disk to install (I had graphics on the live disk) and once I rebooted to the local install I had no graphics at all. I updated to hardy through the terminal alone. [04:12] tmapj, when you save the markings [04:13] BZWingZero I could not get my ati mobility working on 8.04 (Well it worked but way too slow) so I moved it back to 7.10 [04:13] eevee stop doin things with malice [04:14] Jack_Sparrow, Before I updated to 8.04 I still couldn't get graphics on the local 7.10 install. Just the live 7.10. [04:14] !who | Tommy_Mango [04:14] Tommy_Mango: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:14] BZWingZero YOu can copy the livecd xorg to the hd install and fix most of that [04:14] !tab what [04:14] Factoid tab what not found [04:15] timmy wakeboard [04:15] timmy wakeboard [04:15] timmy wakeboard [04:15] kill him [04:15] Tommy_Mango: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:15] he did it in debian [04:15] Jack_Sparrow, will the 7.10 live xorg work in the 8.04 install? [04:15] sorry not kill -- kick [04:15] BZWingZero DOubt it.. but I never tried that [04:15] Should i just dive straight into ubuntu and start playing with it, or read up on it first? [04:16] desolate, whichever you prefer. [04:16] Jack_Sparrow, I'll try that and let you know how it works [04:16] dbmoodb handled [04:17] tmapj: I am now [04:17] good work "_" [04:17] Figuring linux out on a scale of 1-10. One being childs play, and ten being quantam physics. :P [04:17] desolate, it's up to you, however your initial experience will be more pleasant if you take time to at least learn the basics [04:17] Starnestommy: whats that command to load from a my-packages list? [04:18] desolate: its easier than windows. [04:18] we get your drivers / other things for you [04:18] so -1 [04:18] !msg | tmapj [04:18] tmapj: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [04:18] why is cd ripping so slow in ubuntu [04:18] tmapj, Synaptic can read from that list, and rebuild your system [04:19] Nostahl its not ubuntu its you! ;) [04:19] tmapj: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade [04:19] desolate there are no speed settings for ripping that i can find anywhere [04:19] Nostahl I couldn't help you im a noob [04:19] desolate, To use linux, you have to realize it is not better or worse than windows or OSX, it is (first and foremost) DIFFRENT. [04:20] thanks Starnestommy [04:20] greetings [04:20] I disagree. It's better. [04:20] Way better [04:20] tmapj, (my response was in reply to the pm) [04:20] BZWingZero, well i've played with it a bit and im just alittle hesitant I don't want to start messing around and make a mess of it [04:21] desolate, try using a live disk for a whole day (use a usb drive for saving) and see how it works. [04:21] jalathan your reply was of no help, i tried to tell you that i saved my-packages as a text file [04:21] Can Can anyone help me delete a partition via GParted on the LiveCD please? [04:21] how do I open a .msi with wine? [04:21] but thanks anyway [04:21] desolate It is easy to do a full backup .. just one line in a terminal and you can restore just as easy [04:21] !backup [04:21] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [04:21] shamus if you have WINE installed you should be able to right-click, and open with [04:21] shamus /join #Winehq [04:22] Jack_Sparrow mind giving me a hand please? [04:22] Ours WHat is the prob [04:22] BZWingZero, I do want to add some of the great desktop features i've seen. Like the burning/sparkling, cube, the icons on the bottom like mac, stuff like that. [04:22] Starnestommy: is there a big difference between ubuntu-generic and ubuntu-rt? [04:22] desolate don't worry about breaking ubuntu, it's the most common way to learn :) Just keep a separate partition for home, and you're reinstalled in nearly no time [04:22] Ours sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && lsb_release -a >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) [04:22] Is it all simple downloads or is it something you need to use the terminal to do? [04:22] I'm trying to delete sda3 http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/5903/screenshotcy3.png [04:23] I'm building a church in my backyard dedicated to ubottu. [04:23] But it's not letting me, even though I'm using GParted on the LiveCD, and I was told it should allow me to :/ [04:23] Ours Run that command while I look at the prob [04:23] All hail ubottu! [04:23] !ubottu [04:23] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [04:23] * nickrud steals Jack_Sparrow 's textreplace [04:23] Hey Nick [04:23] Will do [04:23] desolate, most of the fancy features are enabled by default on Hardy Heron (current version) if your graphics card is supported. [04:23] tmapj: the -rt kernel is only useful if you do a lot of multimedia stuff, but it only brings small performance benefits, and some programs don't work well on realtime kernels [04:24] hey jack, a nice one liner there [04:24] BZWingZero, well i have a radeon 1900xtx should I download drivers? If so where? [04:24] Ours If you want to delete 3 you need to del 5 and 6 fiest [04:24] Starnestommy: thanks [04:24] But it won't let me delete 6 because it has a lock on it :/ [04:24] Ours 3 is extended, it is used to hold the logicals so you can excede the 4 primary partition limit [04:25] desolate, I don't know how well the 1900xtx is supported. You would need to research that a little bit. It would likely need a reboot or two (after installation) to get the fancy effects working. [04:25] How do I make sure if my graphic card is enabled or not? I got tired trying to enable desktop effects and I don't seem to be able to run compiz in my laptop. any help please? [04:25] So how would I unlock 6 so I could delete it? [04:25] Ours turn swap off [04:25] have you got the driver [04:25] installed [04:25] Ours why do you want to delete 3 anyway, if you look you can see that it's the total size of 5 & 6. It contains 5 & 6 [04:26] for your graphics card? [04:26] SebNaitsabes Please [04:26] yes I know sorry [04:26] desolate, you should be able to download them through the restricted drivers manager once you install. Not possible to use from the live disk directly IIRC [04:26] SebNaitsabes I understand it is a hard habit to break.. I should know [04:28] <__mikem> Hey, i am trying to use fwcutter to get a broad com card to see a wireless network [04:28] <__mikem> I have all the information in correctly yet the thing just won't connect [04:28] Thank you Jack_Sparrow that really helpped [04:28] <__mikem> well? [04:29] BZWingZero, oh i see so heron has most of those features already? [04:29] /join #linux [04:29] Is there a comprehensive guide someone could point me to on seting up a LAMP server on Feisty Fawn? I'm getting alot of errors while apt-gettiing apache. Its not creating the config files. [04:30] anyone? [04:30] desolate, yep. they just need enabling once the graphics drivers are in place. Hardy does its best to have the drivers ready for you, and if so, the neat graphics will be pre-enabled [04:31] sooo [04:31] hey [04:31] i've got a dual monitor settup [04:31] BZWingZero, had i not had heron and had to go about getting those features what would i do? [04:31] is there any way, say I'm watching a movie, to adjust how the picture spans into the other monitor? [04:31] so the lines are even? [04:32] <__mikem> I really don't want to repeat myself, but I kind of REALLY NEED to get this broad com card to work [04:32] First step would be to get 3d support for your graphics card. Second step would be to enable the features. [04:32] However, the first step sometimes is difficult and requires the terminal [04:32] terminal > * [04:32] Is there a comprehensive guide someone could point me to on seting up a LAMP server on Feisty Fawn? I'm getting alot of errors while apt-gettiing apache. Its not creating the config files. [04:33] BZWingZero: are you talking about my issue or someone else? [04:33] BZWingZero, see the terminal is where I get lost I have no idea how to use the terminal [04:33] In-Sane``, sorry, I was responding to desolate. Forgot to put that. [04:34] BZWingZero: it is ok :) [04:34] desolate, that is why we are around to help. Just come and ask. [04:34] Starnestommy: you still there? [04:35] tmapj: yes [04:35] blef [04:35] BZWingZero, awesome should i ditch windows? [04:35] How inconvenient. [04:35] Starnestommy: is there a major disadvantage to installing ubuntu through wubi? [04:35] BZWingZero, at this point all i need to do is backup my media and im good to go it seems [04:35] desolate, try dual booting until you are comfortable, or use a spare machine. [04:35] lazyPower: i feel ignored too :P [04:35] tmapj: Why must you install that way/ [04:35] Hello, is there a way to find or reset the Root Password? [04:35] In-Sane``: Happens to the best of us :P [04:36] candive: Yes. [04:36] candive: passwd root ? [04:36] tmapj: you must keep windows installed, and you have to reinstall ubuntu the normal way to use it on a different partition [04:36] BZWingZero, for programs like itunes, mirc, aim, and other games do i need emulators? [04:36] candive: boot into recovery mode, then type passwd [04:36] desolate: look into Banshee and Amarok to replace iTunes [04:36] mIRC is replaced by xchat, aim = pidgin [04:36] Starnestommy: is there a disk speed disadvantage? [04:36] askvictor then? [04:37] wine and WineX are great ways to play games [04:37] tmapj: there may be a slight one [04:37] I'm using 8.04 on a gateway/router thing, and it is restarting after precisely one hour for no apparent reason. Anybody know why this might be? [04:37] candive: actually, you shouldn't use a root password; that's what sudo is for [04:37] desolate, I've had good luck using amarok for my ipod's music management. Pidgin (included) is excellent for AIM/MSN/YAHOO replacement and xchat is good for irc [04:37] asc: I rooted it :P [04:37] Starnestommy: like how much? could you give me a ballpark percentage? [04:37] BZWingZero, so i can still talk to people on aim using pidgin, and i can still use an ipod with banshee/amarok [04:37] asc: Thing? [04:37] Yeah, I checked for rootkits, temperature and memory problems [04:37] candive: by default you can't 'log in' to a root account, but you can log in as a user, type 'sudo -s' to get a root shell [04:37] asc: and nothing? have you checked your logs? [04:38] Gun: A computer, such as would be capable of running ubuntu and also acting as a gateway and/or router [04:38] I am using Terminal to update clamwin but passwrd is invalid so boot to recovery type passwrd [04:38] askvictor: Thats probably what he is after. [04:38] lazyPower: "Jun 7 20:24:54 Ashkelon syslogd 1.5.0#1ubuntu1: restart." [04:38] desolate, yes, you can use pidgin for aim (there is even a windows version available). I haven't used banshee but amarok worked fine for me. However it doens't do itune's DRMd files. [04:38] Odd [04:38] asc: Have you timed it? Is it on the hour? [04:38] Starnestommy: ? [04:38] asc: check your CRONtab [04:38] Yes. [04:39] Starnestommy: am i bothering you? [04:39] mayhaps you have a renegade reboot process in there [04:39] Back soon [04:39] Wait. It takes one hour, but is not at the hour. [04:39] Oky doke thanks for all the info guys especially you BZWingZero [04:39] candive: sorry, you don't need to boot into recovery mode; run 'sudo passwd root' from the terminal [04:39] desolate, not a problem. [04:39] asc: So 60 min. [04:39] askvictor Really bad idea [04:39] !noroot [04:39] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [04:39] Anybody here have any luck setting up a LAMP server on fiesty? [04:39] Gun: Yes. [04:39] tmapj: I'm not sure about that percentage. I was a litle busy helping someone else in another channel [04:39] candive: but I reckon there'd be a way to do with without setting a root passwd [04:39] oh ok [04:39] In_Sane, you can check if you've got rendering enabled by typing glxinfo in the terminal [04:39] !sudo [04:39] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [04:39] asc: Sounds like a job. [04:40] !botsnack [04:40] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:40] Jack hates root. [04:40] Gun_Smoke It simply is not supported in ubuntu [04:40] Anyone up for helping a total noob? [04:40] Starnestommy: could you please give me that command to back up from my-packages one last time? i promise this will be the last time i ask you. im sorry to harass you like this. [04:40] Looking. [04:40] Aaron2: just ask your questions and we will answer them if we have any [04:40] tmapj: sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade [04:40] Aaron2, thats what we do best, just ask your question :) [04:40] Well I know that, but being that Ubuntu is also Linux, and LINUX supports root. [04:40] asc: is it _exactly_ one hour? [04:40] BZWingZero: I got this: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [04:41] !root | Gun_Smoke [04:41] Gun_Smoke: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:41] I'm having some serious troubles getting the wireless setup on my laptop with Ubuntu [04:41] thanks a million [04:41] I've gone through as many FAQs and guides as I can fine, but I'm just way to green on using Ubuntu to know what I'm doing lol [04:41] Aaron2: What card, what version of ubuntu? [04:41] or Linux in general [04:41] ask: It seems to be. It's happened 4 times. [04:41] In_Sane``, Then you don't have the drivers working properly for the card. [04:41] How do I get rid of an unallocated partition in GParted? [04:41] Ours: allocate it? [04:41] Broadcom 4318 card, rev 02 [04:41] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, I don't need to guess... I won't tell the secret. [04:41] !noroot [04:41] We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) [04:42] I just downloaded the firmware to see if that helped, but I can't get it to [04:42] Actually... wait, I had cron disabled when it started. [04:42] Ours: if something isn't part of a partition, it's unallocated [04:42] !noroot | Gun_Smoke [04:42] Gun_Smoke: please see above [04:42] <````bulldogg> Aaraon I am now expert but the way I got it working on my mac is to load the ndiswrapper and use the windows driver [04:42] <````bulldogg> now=no [04:42] Jack_Sparrow: Thanks again..... I won't tell. [04:42] Where's the ndiswrapper? [04:42] *sigh* [04:42] hiii [04:42] room [04:43] BZWingZero: how do i get those drivers working? [04:43] asc: I'd try getting as much logging happening as possible... are you logging the temperature of the CPU and HDs? [04:43] <````bulldogg> I knew you were going to ask that hold on a sec and I will see if I can find the post I used aaron [04:43] lol okay, thanks Bulldog [04:43] my amarok is not working [04:43] askvictor, password reset thank you very much [04:43] can u help me? [04:43] How do you create a shortcut to a terminal command? I have a rather long command (a compiler, of sorts) that i run often, but its so generic i'd like to simple make a terminal file.. similar to a windows .bat [04:43] In-Sane`` depends on the card. [04:43] asc: cpu load? [04:43] Ubuntu does work with WEP, right? I haven't switched over to WPA and I'm too lazy to do it unless Ubunutu needs it lol [04:43] askvictor: I've been watching them. CPU temperature and RAM use is fine. The boot drive's temperature is high, but I'm pretty sure that's a sensor problems. It's never caused and problems before. [04:43] Aaron2: yes it works with WEP [04:44] askvictor, when I try to use the clamwin gui to update it says i must be root to update app [04:44] *problem, any [04:44] I'm having a small problem with firefox, whenever it completes a download it crashes, any ideas? [04:44] hello all [04:44] is back [04:44] asc: or you could try disabling as many services as possible and slowing re-enable them... but it might take a while... === sauvin_ is now known as sauvin [04:44] jscinoz: which version of firefox ? [04:44] hmm [04:44] byeee [04:44] Leefmc several ways, you can put an alias in ~/.bashrc , or write a bash script for more complex stuff [04:45] candive: can you run clamwin using sudo? i.e. gksudo clamwin-command (or whatever it's called)? [04:45] BZWingZero: how do i know which card it is? [04:45] <````bulldogg> this should help you Aaron http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-networking/120971-broadcom-wireless-ubuntu-8-04-a.html [04:45] arbir, what ever is the latest in the repo, i believe 3.0rc1 [04:45] wants to know the differnence between SCIM and Keyboard layout ( which lets you type in ur language of choice) [04:45] hmm @ jscinoz [04:45] nickrud: Is multiple commands "complex"? [04:45] Are* [04:45] askvictor: Any word on which services will make it dies when you disable them? [04:46] bulldog: I see an issue right off the bat... I can't even get my laptop to grab the net plugged in with a hard wire [04:46] Leefmc yeah, more than one command would generally take a script. Open a file in the text editor, put #! /bin/bash on the first line, then whatever commands you want on the following lines [04:46] jscinoz: this is rather weird [04:46] jscinoz: did you try re-installing the package ? [04:46] asc: perhaps try booting into recovery mode and wait an hour to see if it's a service or the basic system. [04:47] Can anyone tell me if there would be any dangers if I purged MySQL, and phpmyadmin off my machine? [04:47] Sindacious: are you keeping a backup ? [04:47] nickrud: How is it run? Doubleclick? Essentially, "execute" it? [04:47] <````bulldogg> okay Aaron... can anyone else help with this.. [04:47] <````bulldogg> I thought it was a wireless issue [04:47] Sindacious: you wouldn't be able to use anything that required mysql [04:47] heh heh, sorry. I told you guys I was noobish [04:47] arbir, yes i've tried that, also tried with a blank config (moved ~/.mozilla away temporarily) [04:47] askvictor: Aight. Thanks. [04:47] <````bulldogg> dont' worry about it I am very much a rookie to [04:47] Leefmc: or if it's just a few lines, you can put it right in the shell and escape lines with the "\" character [04:47] nickrud: Also, what extension? .bash ? [04:48] .sh [04:48] <````bulldogg> I will never claim to be an expert there is always stuff to learn [04:48] arbir, Starnestommy, I'm planning on reinstalling both, however a few things messed up and I don't know any other way to fix it but to get rid of it and reinstall (Which I don't have a huge problem with) [04:48] Leefmc usually you'd run stuff like that from a terminal. Or, you could right click the desktop, use Create Launcher, and run it from there. And no extension is needed. One more step, after you save it. You have to run chmod +x to make it executable [04:48] jscinoz: try this $ firefox -createprofile [04:48] Sindacious: I think you may also lose any databases that yoy have [04:48] asc: or you could add a little logging script to write every minute or two what processes are running and how much memory/cpu each is using? [04:48] Boohbah, nickrud: Ty [04:49] what did you mess up Sindacious? [04:49] actually... I don't know if this matters or not, but I don't have the network manager [04:49] arbir one moment. [04:49] Sindacious: make sure you have ur /var/lib/mysql directory backuped up [04:49] I was reading about it in a couple of different walkthroughs and I just don't have it [04:49] or I'm too green to find it heh [04:49] I'm having to try and do everythign manually [04:49] And while I'm getting the settings right, it still won't connect [04:49] !bash | Leefmc [04:50] Leefmc: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [04:50] oops [04:50] arbir, this is weird last time I looked at it something was messed up now everything's back to normal. [04:50] How can I use Virtualbox? There is no module package for kernel -18 [04:50] <````bulldogg> Your network manager should be under System... then select administration... then select network aaron [04:50] Sindacious: Sindacious can u tellme whats messed up ? [04:50] Sindacious: its very vague [04:50] Leefmc: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [04:50] askvictor: I'm just watching it on Conky. 1-2% CPU and 7% ram use. :p [04:50] Leefmc one more thing: install abs-guide , it's the advanced bash scripting guide. It lives at /usr/share/doc/abs-guide after you install it [04:50] . [04:50] Boohbah: can u help me with SCIM and keyboard layouts ? [04:50] I'll see what happens when it dies in half an hour [04:50] okay, so it's just the manual configuration editor? [04:50] Thank you [04:51] arbir: no i only use us english keyboard, sorry [04:51] arbir, well originally a error message was coming up when trying to bring up phpmyadmin on the machine, but it's back to the normal login page now (I can't remember what the error said) [04:51] arbir, hmm i just found another update in synaptic, seems to have fixed it [04:51] What can I do when the virtualbox-ose-modules package doesn't exist for kernel -18? [04:51] <````bulldogg> That should open a window that is titled Network Settings [04:51] Sindacious: well then, i guess you can sit back and relax [04:51] now im confused, i thought i had my munting sorted out, but ii cant write to the hardd rive with out using sudo, Im using /dev/sdd1 /media/NEW ext3 auto,users,rw 0 0, the ubuntu thread syas no need to add masks with ext3? the user i use in ubuntu is owner of the mount pont [04:51] is stuck :-( [04:51] asc: or if you're sure it's that regular, you could try changing the system time to jump forward to the next expected crash - that way you can see if it's based on actual time or something else which builds up (disk space, memory, temperature...) that seems to take an hour [04:51] arbir, lol, sorry about that :x [04:52] askvictor, I have set root passwrd should I remove the root password??? [04:52] sensae:run the setup again [04:52] yeah, that's it [04:52] but isn't it supposed to find the networks that I have around? [04:52] sensae:i had that when i installed, updated some packages, then vbox wouldnt run [04:52] illa: Which setup? [04:52] <````bulldogg> okay what do you see inside that window aaron/ anything [04:52] illa: I installed Vbox from repos [04:52] candive: you can just open the /etc/passwd file and put a ! to reset root passwd [04:52] candive: or use sudo passwd -l [04:52] i kinda forget, it was a few weeks ago, but i thought it was sort of like a service [04:52] anybody can help me with SCIM ? [04:52] <````bulldogg> actually it should show your network resourses such as your nic card... you wireless card etc [04:53] askvictor: I'm pretty sure it was an hour. The last entry before the reboot was uptimed moving it up to rank X at 59:52 or something. [04:53] ll;p [04:53] and it was like service setup or something, i figured it out real fast so must have been on ggoolgle [04:53] haloooooooooooooooo [04:53] illa: since it's an ext3 fs, any permissions on the fs will be used by the system that mounts it. [04:53] Also, it's happened at 22 after at least 3 times in a row :p [04:53] arbir what language are you trying to use? [04:53] so i set permissions on the mount point or fs? [04:53] arbir, Starnestommy, thank you [04:53] Ok, so I just tried replacing the desktop's xorg.conf with the one that works on the live disk and.... nothing changed. [04:53] devanagri / Hindi [04:53] askvictor: But anyway. These are things that I will try. [04:54] <````bulldogg> arron mine shows a wireless connection.. a wired connection and a dialup connection.. what does yours look like [04:54] arbir try joining #ubuntu-in , that channel probably has plenty of people who've set that up [04:54] nickrud . thanks, it should work out, i guess [04:54] let me try [04:54] where do i get a version of swiftfox for ubuntu [04:55] How do I install proposed packages? [04:55] urmom [04:55] arbir I've messed with it in the past, but don't have the right stuff installed right now to test again [04:55] asc: I hate debugging things that take a while to occur... but at least it's regular and not just random :) === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [04:55] sensae system->admin->software sources, find proposed on the update tabs. [04:55] nickrud: thats fine.... atleast u gave me a pointer [04:55] thanks a ton nickrud [04:55] It it was a real error maybe it would give a reason. :\ [04:55] arbir hope it's not a wasted trip [04:56] nickrud: that channel is like empty [04:56] hardly 20 folks there :-( [04:56] sensae after you do that, you can find the package in synaptic [04:56] thanks guys [04:56] set permissions on the mount point [04:56] nickrud: KDE :) Do you know where it is in Adept? [04:56] Ok, so any ideas on how I can get X working on my laptop? Copying an Xorg.conf from the live CD (where x worked) didn't solve the problem. [04:57] bulldog: mine shows the same [04:57] sensae: just search [04:57] sensae nope, but I'm sure adept has something about setting sources [04:57] sensae: adept should have a search [04:57] Ok I am having a issue changing my login window after I set it and close the window it resets to default? any ideas on why [04:57] No no, I meant where it is in Adept's software sources [04:57] nevermind though [04:57] had a question i put 2 folders in trash bin, but wont let me empty says i do not have access, yet wont let me take back out of trash bin either [04:57] sensae if no one answers here, try #kubuntu those guys use that second rate software ;) [04:57] LOL @ nickrud [04:57] nickrud: They actually just did, and lol at second rate. [04:57] helooooooooo [04:58] Qster: Have you tried from a terminal? [04:58] nickrud: which is ur default file manager ? [04:58] how do i empty trash from terminal? [04:58] arbir nautilus in spacial mode [04:58] <````bulldogg> okay Aaron if it shows the same you should be able to plug into a cat5 cable and get an ip address as long as your modem is giving dhcp....if you can get an address and surf the internet this way.... then open a terminal and do a sudo apt-get "the list of files that website I gave you was" [04:58] what is your name? [04:58] ok, I've got ndiswrapper transferred over via thumbdrive. How do I install? [04:58] nickrud: whats that spacial mode ? [04:58] <````bulldogg> sudo apt-get install "said files" aaron [04:58] get aout [04:58] nickrud: i have been using thunar, the lightwreight manager, its less buggy somehow [04:59] ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? [04:59] Gun_Smoke: how do i empty trash bin from terminal? [04:59] Qster: sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/ [04:59] whhat i ve done [04:59] arbir it's an aquired taste, it doesn't use a tree view, it uses separate windows for each directory; depending on how you click it leaves the original open or closes it, also the windows show up in the same place on the desktop each time it's opened [04:59] I'd be using GNOME if it wasn't for a few choice bugs [04:59] <````bulldogg> what kind of a file is it Aaron? is it a .deb [04:59] <````bulldogg> ? [04:59] Qster: without the sudo [04:59] ok well fine :P [04:59] nickrud: dont think i have taste for that [05:00] not responding have a computer [05:00] anyways i have a question [05:00] Ok, so any ideas on how I can get X working on my laptop? Copying an Xorg.conf from the live CD (where x worked) didn't solve the problem. [05:00] taek [05:00] oranye helo, no ones ignoring you, you just haven't asked a question [05:00] gz.tar [05:00] Question: What are these files with ~ at the end of them? At first i thought it was something to do with Git, but now i found some outside of git. So what are they? Temp files? === The_JoKeR is now known as SplinTer0616 [05:00] ? [05:00] Leefmc backups [05:00] Leefmc: temp files or backups made by editors [05:01] <````bulldogg> Aaron it would be so much easier if you did the sudo apt-get install to get those files... all dependencies will be solved and such [05:01] arbir don't knock it till you've used it for a while, it's really nice once you've set it up the way you work [05:01] sorry for repeating but how do I make sure if my graphic card is enabled or not? I got tired trying to enable desktop effects and I don't seem to be able to run compiz in my laptop. any help please? [05:01] nickrud: have u tried thunar ? [05:02] nickrud: also, which music player do you use as default ? [05:02] shelbyscates: it would be in his home folder wouldn't it [05:02] I like Dolphin ;) [05:02] im on a toshiba satelite and all my tty terminals are blank [05:02] sometimes i can log in but the text is huge [05:02] arbir used it for a while on a weak computer, but not much. And that first rate software, amarok ;) [05:02] arbir: amarok [05:03] minirok [05:03] nickrud, Starnestommy: Ah hah, so should they be ignored then? When are they normally removed? (Ie, i closed gedit, yet the ~ still exists) [05:03] In-Sane``, You check it with glxinfo. If DirectRendering is "no" then your graphics card is enabled. Enabling it depends on the card [05:03] i liked amarok, but somehow, its album management is something i could not understand [05:03] Leefmc I occasionally go through and delete them, but generally I just ignore them. (saved my butt once) [05:03] Ok I am having a issue changing my login window after I set it and close the window it resets to default? any ideas on why [05:03] nickrud: So there is no auto-remove time? They just perma exist? [05:03] Last question tonight. Where do I find a listing for all these commands used in terminal? === PrivateVoid_Ghos is now known as PrivateVoid [05:03] nickrud: yell0w,.. also the fonts are small, and i dont have qtconfig for qt3, unless there is an amarok based on qt4 [05:04] Hey, I'm having an issue with Ubuntu Hardy on my Macbook, The sound keeps dropping out for half a second every 15 seconds while listening to music [05:04] Leefmc yes, think of them as automatic backups of the previous file version [05:04] arbir: yes there's atconfig for qt3 [05:04] BZWingZero: i checked it and it says: direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) [05:04] Qster: Get it? [05:04] <````bulldogg> Anon do you happen to know what version of alsa you are running? [05:04] hey you guys i made some custom keyboard commands ( to start and stop ssh) an example script is: as an example, i used the guide at http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/ and the keyboard commands work PERFECTLY in gnome, but i dont use gnome, i use wmii, and when i tried it again in wmii, it didnt work :( how can i make it [05:04] Should be the latest [05:04] <- but it didnt work and i found the settings were intact [05:04] yell0w: is there an amarok based on qt4 ? [05:04] Leefmc you'll only see them when you have show hidden files on, or use ls -a [05:04] In-Sane``, Ok, the next step is to figure out what kind of card it is and how to enable it. [05:05] <````bulldogg> I had problems with the sound on my macbook until I updated to I believe it is 1.16 [05:05] ````bulldog: I think it is the latest, I used apt-get [05:05] nickrud: Interesting. Any idea if terminal commands will see them then? Commands such as Git (git add ., git commit -a, or directly) [05:05] BZWingZero: it is ati card [05:05] In-Sane``, Which one. Some work better than others. [05:05] Leefmc never used git myself [05:05] (Note i am aware git is not specific to the terminal, but yea heh) [05:05] BZWingZero: how do i tell? [05:05] nickrud: K [05:05] nickrud: ty :) [05:05] arbir: don't know, not in the default repos [05:05] anyone plx? [05:05] isn't that a bad cartoon [05:05] nickrud: I'll just watch and see if one pops up in a commit of mine heh [05:06] i can download the latest for qt4 based amarok ? [05:06] what's wrong with writing a file to it? i don't get how that's not clean [05:06] In-Sane``, It will be listed somewhere in the list if you type "lspci" (w/o quotes) into a terminal. [05:06] Leefmc hahaha, hope no one thinks badly of you if they do :) [05:06] arbir: you can certainly try at their site [05:06] BZWingZero: check it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/18242/ [05:06] <````bulldogg> Anon I am not sure then.. that is what corrected my issues... I haven't heard of the in and out issue with the sound... did you check www.ubuntuforms.org under the Apple section? [05:06] yell0w: looking now :-) [05:06] ma3x: "sync" isn't the default.

[05:11] and the wireless was the only connection method I used previous [05:11] utzxubiru: its not easy, especially with ubuntu, you have to use ndiswrapper, you must have the windows driver, and configure ubuntu to use it if its supported (thats all i can tell you) ;) [05:11] 2/win 30 [05:11] if there is a private chat option of some kind in here could someone please contact me and help me out with my internet problem?

[05:17] yell0w, yes, I installed 7.10 clean from the live disk (x worked fine on the live session). Rebooted to the 7.10 install and had no x. Updated to 8.04 through the terminal and still no X. [05:18] 1201 users here it's good channel [05:18] BZWingZero: you might want to switch to console by atl-ctrl-F2 and do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:18] There aren't any video options in it in 8.04, just keyboard and mouse. [05:19] BZWingZero: did the installation goes through ? === adante_ is now known as adante [05:19] i have to be honest i really don't know much about computers... [05:19] yell0w, The installation and the upgrade went just fine, no errors. Just a blank screen if X tries to start. [05:20] BZWingZero: that reconfigure doesn't do you any good ? [05:20] @_@ [05:20] BZWingZero: I'd recommend you do a clean install of 8.04 [05:21] yell0w, the reconfigure doesn't touch video in 8.04 anymore.

[05:24] hello alll... wondering if i could get some help about upgrading to 8.04... im using the alt install cd. when i first ran the upgrade it asked me if i wanted to d/l new packages i said yes and started the upgrade..... then the power cut out, so i started again but most of the packages were already downloaded.... now whenever i run the upgrade, it says fetching packages and near the end gives me an error about not being able to get them from the cd.... ive burn [05:24] ...even on saturday night, there's over 1000 people in here [05:24] https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct [05:24] Nostahl: err, without DMA support for some SATA controllers? likely. without DMA support for /all/ SATA? no. [05:24] here is my problem [05:25] amonxz_keops: that's a link to launchpad.net's code of conduct page, not a problem. [05:25] BZWingZero: if it's really that bad and you'r in the states i can send you a cd [05:25] lol [05:25] hello guys [05:25] hello El [05:25] yell0w, Thanks, but I have it downloaded and burned already at work, I just won't be back there until Monday. [05:26] any1 can help me with installation im havin an error [05:26] BZWingZero: ah ok [05:26] dont get u [05:26] amonxz_keops: what is your problem? === El is now known as Insurrecto [05:27] but my problem is the pgp key [05:27] amonxz_keops: er, what is your question about it? [05:27] i need to validate it [05:27] amonxz_keops: did you make a pgp/gpg key? [05:27] i created it but i cant upload it to the server [05:27] Im having this Buffer I/O FD0 when installing from the cd. [05:27] antzikal: open mplayer then right click on control panel and find preferences then click video tab on top. which video driver are you using? [05:28] anyone? [05:28] amonxz_keops: does "gpg --send-keys" work? [05:29] no [05:29] aata: I'd recommend you do a clean install of 8.04 [05:29] amonxz_keops: what does it say when it doesn't work? [05:29] crimsun i cant find any were online where people are having success with dma on sata drives? [05:29] let me paste it [05:29] amonxz_keops: to a pastebin, please [05:30] Nostahl: it works fine here. [05:30] danc3 but why wouldn't the upgrade work? ive had to do this for every upgrade... it just doesnt make sense i can never just put in the cd and make it work... plus i lose all my installed programs..... [05:30] whats the command to enable it with sata [05:30] its not hdparm [05:31] aata: I don't know, but upgrades frequently don't work completely right. You won't lose your "programs", and you should have a backup of your home directory anyway, which is where all your settings are. [05:31] http://img376.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazokeopsnormandeoe3.png [05:31] no is an image [05:31] Nostahl: sdparm ? [05:32] how to check for updates from the command line? [05:32] amonxz_keops: gpg --send-keys appears to have worked [05:32] amonxz_keops: I don't think it's supposed to say anything if it worked [05:33] danc3 i have a backup of my home directory that no problem.... a fresh install just means i have to download all the apps that i had installed previously.... again. if there's a way around that, then im game :) [05:33] danc3 what options with sdparm? [05:33] aata: you could keep a list of installed programs and reinstall them all in a single command. 'dpkg --get-selections > list.txt' [05:33] Nostahl: don't know, read the man page [05:33] ie hdparm -d1 /dev/ etc [05:33] owen1: "sudo apt-get update" then "sudo apt-get upgrade" [05:33] well [05:34] aata: oh well, start downloading [05:34] BZWingZero: thanks [05:34] Hello, any1 can tell me a solution for the buffer i/o fd0 error when installing? [05:34] Boohbah true but im not near a very fast internet connection. it would take like 10 hours to download everything again ( i know cause ive done this when upgrading to 7.10 also) [05:34] aata: what apps are you using that don't come with the installation? [05:34] !clone | aata [05:34] aata: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [05:35] Nostahl: everything i have read says there are no DMA settings available or needed for Sata drives [05:35] danc3 i know just trying to make this as comfortable as possible [05:35] it doesnt work [05:35] amenado: nice [05:35] ok i installed swiftfox why does it still pop up firefox2 when i open it [05:35] hello, I am trying to capture audio sound, not from a microphone, but sound that my computer is playing from a flash application [05:35] why is my ripping speed so slow if its not dma issue? [05:35] do i have to unistall firefox2 [05:36] UBUNTUJAY123-> look at the command behind swfitfox, does it call firefox2? [05:36] amenado i tried that before... seems like it only works on machines running the same version of ubuntu cause it downloads the packages for that release [05:36] swiftfox %u thats the command [05:37] so that means i have to keep firefox2 right [05:37] aata you can always get a list of what is installed and then use those as the list for installation on the new [05:37] UBUNTUJAY123: I don't think firefox2 affects switfox in any way [05:37] hey yall i found out how to change the default media player in hardy :) [05:38] when i lanch swift firefox pops u [05:38] UBUNTUJAY123-> you can see if swiftfox is a script and look inside it, to see if it calls firefox2 [05:38] how i do that [05:38] do what? [05:38] UBUNTUJAY123-> man file [05:39] aata: no, just change your /etc/apt/sources.list [05:39] ok so how is hardy better than gutsy anyway...? [05:39] aata: the software is newer [05:39] Boohbah meaning? [05:39] how do you do what ubuntujay123? [05:39] what does 'list index out of range mean'? [05:39] aata: THAT IT WAS RELEASED AT A LATER DATE [05:39] see if siwft has to have firefox2 or not [05:39] aata: crane attack is better than monkeyfoo [05:40] hey everyone, i have a problem with XGL and an ATI card [05:40] aata: it a newer release. [05:40] Boobah, Newer doesn't always equal better... just look at vista and XP. [05:40] Boohbah i was talking about changing the /etc/apt/sources.list..... :P [05:40] yell0w: i'm going for tiger claw [05:40] im not that stupid..... [05:40] thats true [05:40] Nostahl: do you have paranoia mode on? that will make ripping a lot slower [05:40] <````bulldogg> aata, it is more refined it has long term support [05:40] UBUNTUJAY123-> first thing is find out if swift is a script or a binary, if a script then you can peek inside [05:40] aata: That's cool. [05:40] aata: s/gutsy/hardy/g [05:40] amenado i dont know how to do that [05:40] Hello, any1 can tell me a solution for the buffer i/o fd0 error when installing?? [05:40] UBUNTUJAY123-> man file [05:41] meaning change the gutsy's to hardy's? [05:41] whats a man file [05:41] I'd say if your up and running smooth on either to say where your at.. [05:41] UBUNTUJAY123-> man file <-- type that on a terminal [05:41] stay* [05:41] whats man file? [05:41] hahahahahaha [05:41] lol [05:41] UBUNTUJAY123: it's a man page that tells you about the various unix command line utilities [05:41] Gun_Smoke: i like hardy's ufw [05:41] man = manual [05:42] oh he is saying read the man page for 'file' [05:42] whats it do? [05:42] chepner what how do i tell [05:42] y i wnat that for [05:42] how do i delete a non empty folder? [05:42] UBUNTUJAY123-> so you will learn what the command is about [05:42] robert__: Open a terminal and type man bash [05:42] hey im getting fd0 buffer erro when installing how can i fix it? [05:42] ok [05:42] In-Sane rm -rf /path/to/folder [05:42] <````bulldogg> UBUNTUJAY123, so you can learn. [05:42] or, "man ls" [05:43] or " man man [05:43] or "man man" [05:43] aata: thanks [05:43] all i want to know is if i have to have firefx to run swiftfox [05:43] UBUNTUJAY123: so that command will tell you if swiftfox is a script or a binary, whether you can edit it or not [05:43] Insurrecto-> dont worry about fd0 unless you are using it.. fd0 is floppy disk [05:43] it wont let me install [05:43] that made no sense at all [05:43] ill keep getting the error [05:43] robert__: Just do it. [05:43] and then it shows me a command line [05:43] !swiftfox [05:43] Factoid swiftfox not found [05:43] You'll learn a lot. [05:43] i just uninstall firefox and see for my self [05:43] i did [05:44] thank any ways [05:44] Insurrecto: try to install using the alternative cd [05:44] robert__: What do you see? [05:44] UBUNTUJAY123: I don't think swiftfox needs firefox [05:44] Nostahl: what program are you using rip? in the options there should be settings to control how much error checking is done when reading the disk [05:44] ... [05:44] where can i find that? in ubuntu page? [05:44] i'm unable to get ff2 or 3 to start in 8.04 and galeon says something about not having access to or the right ssh stuff but i thought i fixed that in an update? thunderbird doesn't start either? this is the case on 2 machines 1 pc 1 laptop both good machines running XP better and easier than U8,04 [05:44] robert__: What your supposed to see is the answer to 1195 peoples problems. [05:44] all it does is explain what it is [05:45] chepner im using default settings of cd juicer [05:45] UBUNTUJAY123 has some sort of aversion to learning... [05:45] rhythembox is the same speed too [05:45] robert__: Yes, exactly. So now try "man uptime" [05:45] it doesn't make sense to me [05:45] robert__-> correct ..also try to man man and you'd read about how to use man pages, and the different options [05:45] i have installed ubuntu HH on my laptop today [05:45] robert__: Just read it. It tells you what it does. [05:45] but the external sound is not workign [05:46] though the headphones are ok. what can i do to get the speakers working? [05:46] <````bulldogg> Boohbah, I know I was almost going to give him the go ask google response but I am trying to be nice [05:46] ok folks... i dont see what i can do about this upgrade business. last suggestions? [05:46] doesn't look like anything useful to me [05:46] i already googled my issues and found nothin of help [05:46] <````bulldogg> I wasn't talking about you kain lol [05:47] robert__-> if you stay long enuff with unix and linux, and bsd.. you will learn to make friends with man ..pages [05:47] i know ;) that wasn't directed at you ;) [05:47] kain: ssh , firefox and galeon has nothing to do with each other [05:47] <````bulldogg> I like helping people...as long as they are willing to try [05:47] make friends with? [05:47] no? [05:47] thanks anyway :) [05:47] robert__: You are somewhat expected to at least glance at those pages before you ask for directions on how to read the directions. Sort of.. [05:47] robert__ the manual is excellent when you need to learn how to use something on the command line. E.G. I used it last night to read the manual page for iwconfig to get my wireless working from the command line. [05:48] <````bulldogg> aata I have never had an upgrade go right [05:48] in ubuntu 8.04 when i clse a myspace tab or whatever... the damn music keeps n playing. [05:48] <````bulldogg> you should re install from scratch [05:48] amenado, i did man touch,,, and now i feel kinda dirty [05:48] bulldogg thats prob what ill end up doing anyway. [05:48] LOl [05:48] SeaPhor-> heh! [05:48] my wireless already works, thats the only internet i have, which is some neighbors at the apartment building here, don't know where from === tat is now known as sourcode [05:48] you know in california, we are making it legal.. [05:49] how do i update the packages list in the synaptic package manager? [05:49] <````bulldogg> I have never had any luck doing an upgrade I don't care what OS it is... it can be Windows, Linux or OSX non of them handle upgrading from one version to another well [05:49] any1 running compizfusion wit an ati card? [05:49] Galeon when I try to go to ie. www.schwab.com "Galeon could not initialize the browser security component... SLL protocol disabled not SSH sorry [05:49] the only reason i reverted to that is because on fresh installs i can't get mozilla to work [05:49] In-Sane``, I'm not sure exactly how in Synaptic, but you can run "sudo apt-get update" from the terminal and it'll update the package list.

[05:50] upgraded... reinstalled packages... uninstalled packages... nothin :( [05:50] from 6.0 to 6.2 and to 7.... no problem [05:50] yep [05:50] robert__ that is correct, terminal is a command line. [05:50] BZWingZero: ok, my system is up to date, i think [05:50] on 2 seperate pc's [05:50] ````bulldogg, yes you should [05:50] even did re-installs [05:51] amenado: Tell you, you don't have permission. [05:51] tried just ff2 [05:51] etc [05:51] tried it all [05:51] do u think that it can run in a ati 9700pro 512mb? [05:51] <````bulldogg> which version do you recommend darth? [05:51] ````bulldogg, maybe try pc-bsd, which is a gui-installer on top of freebsd [05:51] so here i am ;) [05:51] thats how i check for updates. other than that i don't use it much [05:51] <````bulldogg> thanks for the quick response lol [05:51] kain: try google.com ?

If you do "sudo apt-get upgrade" that will install any updates found. [05:51] freebsd can be murder... Don't expect a debian installer [05:51] depends ````bulldogg, if you want a desktop system try out pc-bsd, if you want a server use regular freebsd [05:51] hi [05:52] Gun_Smoke, that is where you use pc-bsd instead.... has a nice gui-installer :) [05:52] BZWingZero: do i need to fo upgrade each time i update my system? [05:52] i did ;) that's how i found out about the Ubuntu 8.04 ff install situation [05:52] but no help for my issue [05:52] amenado: Not here.. You need to remind everyone to use sudo with everything. [05:52] what is the most popular linux distribution? just curious [05:52] robert__: ubuntu [05:52] robert__: ubuntu [05:52] <````bulldogg> robert__, right now I would say ubuntu... but I dont' want to start a flame [05:52] robert__ , are you testing us? [05:52] Gun_Smoke-> right O [05:52] kain: please, if you're talking to me, please include my name in the front of the line so i can read [05:52] In-Sane`` The update manager should check for updates on its own and prompt you to install them. Theres usually only a few a week. [05:52] <````bulldogg> I have used a few of them [05:52] kain: this channel is pretty huge as you know [05:52] its my favorite. i've tried others, but always come back to ubuntu [05:53] BZWingZero: ok ok, i understand now. [05:53] <````bulldogg> robert__, I am using ubuntu on my desktops but my server is slackware 12 [05:53] :) [05:53] and i used my dork powers to try to fix it myself... but alas... i have seen boobies... and when you see boobs over and over in your life that sidetracks the dork powers... so here i am.... sat night when i could be effed up watching Dr. Strangelove ;) [05:53] robert__: This is perfect for you to learn. [05:54] i don't know how to send a message for a single individual to recognize for them to read like yall are. when its directed to me, the name is highlighted in yellow, don't know how yall do that.. [05:54] robert__ yes, ubuntu on the desktops, and something else on the servers [05:54] yellow^ [05:54] <````bulldogg> and I don't claim to be an expert on any of it... I have plenty to learn on all of them [05:54] i thought ubuntu is supposed to be an all purpose linux os [05:54] yellow: sorry my bad... been a while since i irc'd [05:54] robert__ Ubuntu was the first I tried (other than a few minutes with knoppix) and I've loved it ever since. [05:54] darth debian would be fine [05:54] me too [05:54] do i need to choose between using the restricted driver for ATI and XGL? [05:54] it seems like i can only use one at a time [05:55] <````bulldogg> robert__, and I work on OSX all day.. and I work on windows but can't stand it lol [05:55] Gun_Smoke, well linux is not mature enough for me ;) (j/k)... i use bsd [05:55] from what i understand debian isn't developed very rapidly [05:55] robert__, type the first few letters of the persons nick, and hit tab till their name is there [05:55] darth there ya go.. ;) [05:55] windows sucks, it doesn [05:55] oops [05:55] it doesn't do what it needs to without additional software for security [05:56] which a decent os should do on its own anyway, imo [05:56] anyhow, how would an user/attacker would abuse a /tmp or /var/tmp directory? supposedly this PAM module namespace allows for poly-instantiation to have each user have each own virtual /tmp .. [05:56] In-Sane``: read post #317 looks like he got your card to work with compiz http://ph.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=221320&page=32 [05:56] darth: in the middle of a freebsd install currently. Finish it tomorrow night. [05:56] lol that was fast Gun_Smoke [05:56] <````bulldogg> right now I have ubuntu 8.04 running on my 24" aluminium iMac with everything working... I love it [05:56] robert__: Windows has a place, and if you know what you are doing, it doesn't need extra software. I ran Vista from release for over six months without an antivirus... and came out clean when I finally got it. Twas at work, hence why I couldn't use ubuntu [05:57] Hi all. my system monitor reports ~400MB ram usage, while the process list adds up to ~250MB. are there many system processes not listed using memory? what's going on? [05:57] Gun_Smoke, dont forget about http://freebsd.org/handbook [05:57] SgtSchultz: in ubuntuforums? [05:57] where do i find the ubuntu iso for mac? [05:57] darth: please stay on topic [05:57] robert__: If it is an Intel mac, you can use the regular disk [05:57] <````bulldogg> you just use the i386 one if you have an intel mac [05:57] darth: I started it a long time ago.. I just walked away for a while.. I don't care to think about it right now. [05:57] In-Sane``: yes . i gave the link [05:57] Busy [05:58] <````bulldogg> and I use rEFIt to strap it for the boot loader [05:58] SgtSchultz: thanks, will read it now [05:58] darth: the book is up right here.. [05:58] why can't you use ubuntu at work? [05:58] :) [05:58] robert__, i do [05:58] robert__: Businesses have policys. [05:58] <````bulldogg> robert__, people are probably afraid of what they don't know [05:58] robert__: Its a windows only shop... however I've gotten permission recently to dual boot. [05:58] In-Sane``: i would backup xorg.conf before trying it though [05:58] <````bulldogg> or they use some software that is windows only [05:59] where can i find ubuntu for mac? i have an ibook and that would be great [05:59] .....like exchange and outlook [05:59] robert__: lots of places have security rules that prohibit non-approved OSes [05:59] robert__, and I think the install base might grow as I was able to use it to recover a corrupt backup that Windows couldn't [05:59] does linux have a decent exchange-plugin for any mail-client? [05:59] Lobinho-> did you forget to count the /dev/ram[0-15] i think they also have minimums, maybe 1meg only each..not really sure how much they take [05:59] darth: bsd is headed over to the desktop, I don't know if I'll dump debian from the laptop as of yet. [06:00] SgtSchultz: hmmz, how do i backup my xorg file please? [06:00] Gun_Smoke, depends on the brand of lappy [06:00] Gun_Smoke: you're offtopic [06:00] does anyone know where i can find the iso ubuntu download for mac? [06:00] In-Sane``: Just make a copy of it to somewhere else so that you can restore it if needed. [06:00] freebsd has always had insane thinkpad-support for instance [06:00] In-Sane``-> easy..just make a copy cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.older [06:00] BZWingZero: from /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [06:01] In-Sane``: in terminal type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [06:01] tritium: Not yet, and Darth, I'd be happy to try to stay with ubuntu on the laptop but I believe its time for a change. [06:01] In-Sane``: your xorg.conf is usually located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [06:01] In-Sane``, or sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak [06:01] SgtSchultz: ok, thanks [06:01] SgtSchultz, You good with xorg.conf? [06:01] whatever [06:02] gnome keeps crashing. I can't believe that linux is crashing lol help please [06:02] BZWingZero SeaPhor: yep. got it thanks guys :) [06:02] kahrytan: no i haven't had to mess with mine [06:02] Wrec, thats not linux :-P [06:02] kahrytan: I know lol [06:03] SgtSchultz, i have to mess with mine. i need to define with device to use for video [06:03] alsamixer seems a little buggy, and I think that might be the problem [06:03] kahrytan: what video card? [06:03] reinstalling now [06:03] SgtSchultz, X is confusing tv tuner card for graphics card [06:03] I'm burned out on this channel tonight... peace. [06:03] Hi, I have AMD64 ubuntu 8.04 and am having problems watching videos on youtube. what do I need to do? they just don't show up [06:04] I had to make the tough decision on a recent install: compiz-fusion or full resolution on dual monitors. The graphics card didn't support drawing compiz on both. Which would you have chosen? [06:04] Does ubuntu still tell you what packages to install, if you type a command that's not installed? It's not doing it for me... [06:04] Gun_Smoke, you could always join ##freebsd.... where topics are free(!)... get it?! [06:04] Oh I get it. [06:04] ;) [06:04] c u there [06:04] Netham45, yes [06:05] kahrytan, do you know why it isn't showing it for me? [06:05] Netham45, no :( [06:05] BonezAU: flashplugin-nonfree is installed. right? [06:05] i found a link for the download site. thanks for the answer, if someone was to reply that is, but i found it [06:05] SgtSchultz, flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. [06:06] amenado: what are /dev/ram[0-15]? what do they do? [06:06] SgtSchultz: hey, should i copy his xorg.conf file and paste in mine? or just do the needed changes? [06:07] Netham45, have you checked your System>Administration>Software sources? [06:07] how do i look up a package info from cli? [06:07] BZWingZero, what kind of graphics card do you have? [06:07] SeaPhor, it's a server install [06:07] and I havn't touched /etc/apt/sources.list [06:07] SgtSchultz, OSS could use xorg editor [06:07] In-Sane``: well first step would be to try his suggestion of installing the ati drivers using envyng [06:07] do people find that firefox 3 beta 5 crashes their system? [06:08] darth, on the dual monitor system? One that only supports a max texture size of 2048x2048, which doesn't work with a desktop size of 2560x1024. [06:08] Netham45, ok, then have you updated the sources list? [06:08] SgtSchultz: ah, ok, lemme install it [06:08] [Epiphany] Why are there two files ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf und ephy-bookmarks.xml? Would not be one enough? [06:08] SeaPhor, no. [06:08] I only installed it a couple of weeks ago [06:08] [Epiphany] Why are there two files ~/.gnome2/epiphany/bookmarks.rdf and ephy-bookmarks.xml? Would not be one enough? [06:08] ohhhhh BZWingZero too bad, i feel for you :) [06:09] compiz looks really great on dual monitors and xinerama [06:09] BonezAU: if you type about:plugins in the firefox address box on top and look for Shockwave Flash see if its enabled [06:09] BZWingZero, that limit has nothing to do with bitdepth right? [06:09] uhm color-bit-depth [06:09] SgtSchultz, I have Shockwave Flash (enabled) and FutureSplash player (enabled) === Owner_ is now known as Arcane-Denial [06:10] darth, nope, just the card. Newer cards support large texture sizes but my little x300 doesn't [06:10] As most people, I have a problem and need help ^_^ [06:10] guys how do i uninstall the radeon video driver? 0_o [06:10] :( [06:10] Anyone up for helping me out with a grub issue? [06:10] SgtSchultz, it used to work on my PC just a few days go. Now anything that is flash just shows up completely blank. Even when I go to the adobe site the flash animation is missing all together [06:10] BonezAU: and when you go to youtube nothing shows? [06:10] maybe Arcane-Denial: ask away [06:10] SgtSchultz, the page loads up with everything except the movie player itself. It's just a big blank white box [06:11] BonezAU: firefox 3? [06:11] SgtSchultz, Swiftfox 3 [06:11] so, darth, any idea how to get X working on a laptop. It works fine on the live CD, but not on the local install. [06:11] Can someone help me fix 'no sound' issue in Wolfstein: ET? [06:11] Ok, well yesterday I installed ArchLinux on an HD I had in an ubuntu machine, the HD didnt have anything on it at the time. Well in the process I messed up the bootloader and now need to configure grub to find my ubuntu kernel I've tried copying some from online but then it just freezes at the splash screen. [06:12] BZWingZero, sorry, i am a nvidia-person myself [06:12] I need to know how to go about telling GRUb what my kernel is. [06:12] BonezAU: never tried swiftfox but i would think it should work [06:12] title Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic [06:12] root (hd0,1) [06:12] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic [06:12] root=UUID=e6e6fe4f-6c0f-46e5-8a40-b45225220a85 ro [06:12] quiet splash [06:12] Arcane-Denial: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:12] initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic [06:12] but i do know that it probably has something to do with the ATI drivers being closed source [06:12] Sorry about that. [06:12] SgtSchultz, yeah, everything else works fine. And like I said, it was working a few days ago [06:12] BZWingZero, will x not work at all? [06:13] Does anyone know what I should have after Kernel? [06:13] !pastebin > Arcane-Denial, [06:13] darth, when it starts, I get a black screen, then nothing. [06:13] Yea, sorry, I didn't know. [06:13] !pastebin [06:13] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [06:13] BZWingZero, maybe change the driver to VESA and boot the system and see if it asks you to download ATI drivers [06:13] Arcane-Denial: the "root=" should be on the same line as the kernel [06:13] it is, just the line caries over. [06:13] Its on the same line just its not on IRC [06:14] BZWingZero, .... you know.... in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:14] darth, how would I change the drivers to VESA from the command line. [06:14] but I don't know what to put after Kernel can anyone help? [06:14] Can someone help me fix 'no sound' issue in Wolfstein: ET? [06:14] Arcane-Denial: the initrd line? [06:14] bzwing... uhm... something like sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then look for your gfx [06:14] what about it? [06:14] hey, whats the difference between installing the nvidia drivers using ubuntu's restricted driver menu and EnvyNG? [06:14] its on a differnt line. [06:15] BonezAU: open Edit>preferences>applications and look for Shockwave Flash file is it set to use Shockwave flash? [06:15] now i would advise that you cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.old [06:15] BZWingZero, have you tried to copy the xorg.conf file on the cd to replace the file in the install? cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf ? that at least gives you a starting over point, then you can use/enable the restricted drivers, [06:15] killux: the restricted drivers are supported officially [06:15] but since your xorg.conf is not working it doesnt really matter === ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u [06:15] Starnestommy, What about the initrd line?> [06:15] darth, there is no section on the driver in my xorg.conf === ballzee is now known as Sinister [06:15] Starnestommy: so what does EnvyNG install? [06:15] SeaPhor, excellent... that would prolly also work [06:15] SeaPhor: Yes, I tried that and it didn't work. [06:15] :(((( [06:15] killux: unsupported drivers [06:15] hehehe [06:15] SgtSchultz, this is what it looks like: http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotxz2.png [06:16] BZWingZero, ctrl + w and type ati [06:16] Also, I use the free drivers because they support my card better than the restricted ones [06:16] Starnestommy: I don't really understand that. Doesn't nvidia put out drivers for linux? [06:16] Arcane-Denial: are you asking what line goes after the kernel line, or what goes on the kernel line [06:16] SgtSchultz, edit/prefs/applications - the list is completely empty. nothing in it at all === _zax_ is now known as zax [06:16] Starnestommy, I'm asking what goes ON the kernel line. [06:16] i am unable to copy folders from the system drives to other drives === zax is now known as _zax_ [06:16] darth, it didn't find anything other than "ati" in the word "configuration" in the comment at the top [06:16] Arcane-Denial: that kernel line that you pasted looks fine [06:17] imperial credits will do fine [06:17] Well its not because it freeses on startup [06:17] Can someone help me fix 'no sound' issue in Wolfstein: ET? [06:17] BZWingZero, did you try it while booted off of the live cd,,, if not then the os partition was mounted? [06:17] The loading bar on the splash screen wont move. [06:17] Arcane-Denial: I think something else is causing that [06:17] Thats not my original kernel line. [06:17] help people,i am unable to copy folders from the system drives to other drives [06:17] SeaPhor: i was booted to the live disk and did mount the harddrive. [06:17] I copied that from an online source thinking it would work. [06:17] Starnestommy: I thought Ubuntu's resstricted drivers were nvidias official drivers just packaged [06:18] BonezAU: shouldn't be empty. that is where you assign which programs and plugins to use with which file type [06:18] hey guys. I was just put on a DNSBL. Any suggestions for a virus scanner for ubuntu server (ssh access only) === boxer1 is now known as riad [06:18] jlilly_: try clamav === riad is now known as isahak [06:18] any body free to help ? [06:18] SgtSchultz, Let me try and uninstall swiftfox and install it again. [06:18] Starnestommy: thx. installing now. [06:18] Arcane-Denial: oh. it should be something like kernel /boot/vmlinuz-(kernel-version) [06:19] Arcane-Denial: running sudo update-grub should automatically configure it correctly [06:20] Hello guys. Does anyone know if its possible to go from Kubuntu Dapper to Hardy LTS? [06:20] without CD [06:20] BZWingZero, doesnt x include an autoconf tool... have you tried running that? [06:20] darth, yes, and it didn't fix the problem. [06:20] hmmmm [06:20] SgtSchultz, I removed and reinstalled swiftfox, same problem - so I just removed swiftfox all together and am using firefox 3 now. The applications list shows up fine and also youtube is working again. thanks for the help [06:20] I just booted the install "cd" off my usbdrive! Bad news is that when I run the install it says it gives me an i/o error. [06:21] something along apt-get reinstall ati-drivers ? [06:21] I have a bug with gnome. for some reason, when I go to take a screenshot, it only shows my wallpaper. also, when i open gcolor2, it also only samples from my wallpaper. [06:21] (no idea what the actual package is named) [06:21] BZWingZero, if just booted from the live cd,, and the cmd i gave is pasted in a terminal, it will replace the xorg.conf file and the pc will boot from hdd as it does from cd,, and then you can go to System>Administration> hardware to enable the restricted drivers [06:21] BonezAU: your welcome [06:21] Boa Noite a todos!! [06:21] anyone know if i can use this ubutnu 8 to install over the internet? i remember that i would do a "net install" with gentoo and debian; don't know if that exists on ubuntu. [06:22] Bom Dia a Todos!! [06:22] SeaPhor: My card is so old, the restricted drivers don't support my card. The free drivers worked fine though [06:22] xenos, you dont really need to, everything you need is on that cd [06:22] Is it possible to setup a server with Vanilla Dapper? [06:22] whatup all [06:22] any body free to help ??? i am unable to copy folders from the system drives to other drives [06:22] anybody know where i can get a linux job? [06:22] xenos: the CD is a full install [06:22] I just bought a Samsung YP-U3 MP3 player (it also plays ogg vorbis files, yay!!) Anyways I was wondering, should I keep using the MTP or should I just reflash it with firmware from Samsung that will convert it into a MSC (usb mass storage device)? [06:22] Hmm, interesting, I am trying to boot to the XBMC thumbdrive edition (Linux based) and it's X keeps returning Fatal Server Error: No screens found. [06:23] hey [06:23] anyone here [06:23] Alpha: that tells me nothing. i just stated that the cd crashes during the install due to some error of files being currpt. [06:23] it's insane how much i like ubuntu [06:23] what what in the butt? [06:23] Alpha: off the usb drive [06:23] i am unable to copy folders from the system drives to other drives [06:23] UBUNTU FTW! [06:23] Server? [06:23] i mean... seriously!!!! [06:23] Anyone know how to setup a server? [06:23] adi1y1: did you set the right permissions for those other drives? [06:23] xenos: then download it again, and check the hashes? [06:23] BZWingZero, but is this a newer MB, or is it a laptop?? sata HDD, old bios, lots of factors, need to narrow down to 1 area] [06:23] blunbig :) [06:24] is the drives in different file formats [06:24] such as ntfc or ext3 [06:24] Starnestommy: i was able to copy day before yesterday [06:24] ... [06:24] i dont know [06:24] adi1y1: what changed between then and now? [06:24] i just made an addition to sudo so my user can mount truecrypt volumes :) [06:24] CAN ANYONE SEE WHAT IM TYPING? [06:24] SeaPhor, this is an old latpop, IDE harddrive, Mobility Radeon 9000. Dell Latitude D600... about as standard a set of components a laptop can have. [06:24] blunbig: yes. [06:24] thx [06:24] NO BLUNBIG!!!! [06:25] blunbig: and you don't need to use caps in here [06:25] Starnestommy: today when i tried copying only some of the files are copied not all [06:25] WE CAN'T! ;) [06:25] Alpha: Ignore dude. seriously. thanks. [06:25] sry [06:25] adi1y1: did you get any error messages? [06:25] * blunbig is so very sorry [06:25] Starnestommy: a new HDD and thats a secondary HDD , it some NTFS drives [06:26] blunbig, just flip your compiz a few times, guaranteed to make your mood better [06:26] omg ur right [06:26] lol i was humming the other day when i booted my laptop [06:26] <3 ubuntu 4 life [06:26] i never used to do that when used windows [06:26] i was more like "rrrrrr work!!!!" [06:26] Starnestommy: no error messages,i tried mounting those ntfs drives but i couldnt so i deleted all the partitions. [06:26] SeaPhor: And I did run ubuntu on it exclusively from 6.10-7.10. Only since the most recent wipe/install has it stopped working. [06:27] BZWingZero, where does it fail? [06:27] Starnestommy: now i am unable to copy .iso .backup .sql to other drives [06:27] anyone ever read the stuff on www.bash.org? [06:27] adi1y1: are those very large files? [06:27] I have a question guys, which version of ubuntu would run best on an old 500Mhz PIII with 384RAM? [06:27] BZWingZero, during the boot, after grub menu? [06:28] Arcane-Denial: probably xubuntu [06:28] Hi everyone! Just did a clean install of Hardy Heron on my mom's computer. Unfortunately somehow the backup didn't work correctly, and now all the family pics are missing :-( My mom is going to kill me. Is there something I can do to recover them? I reformatted the hard disk with the Ubuntu CD. [06:28] .iso is large ,but .sql and .backup are less than 1mb [06:28] Arcane: 8.1 [06:28] Kubuntu runs the KDE right? [06:28] yes Arcane-Denial [06:28] oops [06:28] 8.04 [06:28] Which would be better for that machine? Kubuntu or just ubuntu? [06:28] adi1y1: did you have the right permissions set on them? [06:28] use the alt disc [06:28] Arcane-Denial: what about Xubuntu? [06:28] SeaPhor: I get the Ubuntu logo fine . As soon as it goes to load X the screen goes to black as if it changing the screen resolution, then shuts off the backlight and it just never comes back. Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't bring up a terminal. [06:29] I am having a problem with my nvidia driver. I installed it via ubuntu's restricted drivers. If I use EnvyNG do you think it may work or is it the same thing? [06:29] the alt disc doesnt kill ur ram during the install [06:29] In-Sane``: still there? [06:29] I don't have a copy of it on hand and downloading one might take a while on my connection. [06:29] what about just downloading it right off nvidias site [06:29] I want to dump a site's directory using wget -r. But how could I forbid wget from following the [Parent Directory] link? [06:29] Starnestommy: i have not changed anything [06:29] killux: that isn't guaranteed to work [06:29] tux69.. I hear that if all you did was delete the patition possibly.. but formatted... afraid i think your out of luck [06:30] SgtSchultz: yes, I installed envyng and I am installing the drivers manually now, 44% so far. [06:30] tj83: ay [06:30] Starnestommy: well ubuntu's driver isnt working, so will envyNG/nvidia's official driver possibly work? [06:30] or are they all the same? [06:30] killux: try the envyng one first [06:30] Starnestommy: what do i do now"? [06:31] How do I log into a non local network computer via ssh [06:31] adi1y1: I'm not sure [06:31] ok [06:31] BZWingZero, have you tried, at the grub menu, hit "E" and scroll down to kernel line and remove quiet and splash? [06:31] nickolaus: the same way as on a local one. ssh user@hostname [06:31] tux69... look for Hiren'sBootCd... there are some recovery tools on the disk.. caution though... only use the disk recovery tools there are utility apps on the disk that can render your motherboad useless... you are warned [06:31] In-Sane``: ok i was just going to suggest doing a copy paste of that post and print it out. he mentions he got a blank screen at first and those instruction would be good to have [06:31] SeaPhor: I have not, I will try that now. [06:31] Starnestommy: do you know any channels where i can solve this problem ? [06:32] adi1y1: this one or ##linux, maybe [06:32] BZWingZero, won't hurt,, and i have some to add if that gets anywhere [06:32] thank you ... [06:32] tj83: thanks, i'll try that. [06:32] tux69... its possible you may get "some" files.. dont expect to recover the drive its not going to happen [06:33] SgtSchultz: i did, I have a print out of the post already. I will read from it if i got that blank screen, but do you suggest me to copy his xorg file and paste in mine or just change the device section , monitor and screen section? [06:33] starnestommy so to log into a computer on two different networks I use the same local ip's [06:33] ? [06:33] tj83: ok :-/ [06:34] SeaPhor: Ok, It came up with an error: Could not start X due to some internal error. Then it gave me a prompt [06:34] tux69.. I dont know how they work.. but i have gotten random files back from like 3 partitions back.. although i havent messed with it for years.. good luck [06:34] starnestommy or do I use a different Ip? [06:34] Are there any voice simulator's for ubuntu? [06:34] In-Sane``: i would just edit yours like he says because some hardware in his computer is probably different than yours [06:35] starnestommy I was told I had to have the local ip and the wan Ip. [06:35] nickolaus: is the other computer on a LAN? [06:35] starnestommy no. [06:35] starnestommy one is in another state. [06:35] SgtSchultz: yep, you're right. well, I am waiting for the driver download to finish, will see if i can get it working, still 35% to go [06:36] nickolaus: then you just need its IP. It should have just one [06:36] starnestommy do I need both lan and wan ip's? [06:36] nickolaus: just the WAN IP [06:36] starnestommy thanks much ;) === gbs is now known as fserve [06:37] nickolaus: but if it is behind a LAN, that computer's router needs to forward port 22 to it [06:37] Also, nickolaus, you need the proper ports forwarded to the PC you're trying to SSH into if it has a firewall. [06:37] Which it certainly should. [06:37] should i go with 64bit linux or 32? [06:37] starnestommy how do I do that? [06:38] hey guys i have ubuntu hardy heron, i installed jdk but its in my desktop [06:38] where should i move it [06:38] and how to set it to the right path? [06:38] starnestommy do I just forward port 22 on the router? [06:38] BZWingZero, ok, 2 directions here,,, i;ll go this way first,,, repeat and remove quiet and splash, and add noapic apic=none and if not then repeat and remove quiet and splash and add vga=771 all exactly as typed [06:38] nickolaus: you need to get the owner of that computer's router to forward port 22 to that computer [06:38] nickolaus: but it that compurer is not on a LAN, you don't need to [06:38] it is. [06:38] tj83: just found http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec Guess I'll try that. [06:38] starnestommy but not on mine. [06:39] starnestommy how do I forward port 22? [06:39] nickolaus: do you own that computer and its router? [06:39] Yes. [06:40] nickolaus: check your router's instructions for port forwarding [06:40] tux69 looks potential [06:40] starnestommy okay so it's just typical port forwarding? [06:40] nickolaus, ssh can do that..google for "ssh port forwarding" [06:40] nickolaus: essentially, yes [06:41] tux69.. do you have USB media to back them up to? [06:41] how i uninstall flashplayer 10 [06:42] i installed to checkit out and cant seem to uninstall it [06:42] I am having a problem with permissions in my home directory and cannot execute or file share my files. Is there a way to make my "home" directory so I dont need root permissions? [06:42] help plz [06:42] UBUNTUJAY123: it should come with instructions for uninstalling it [06:42] In-Sane``: do you know how to restore your old xorg.conf in case something goes wrong? [06:42] it didnt [06:42] tj83: I have my laptop here and an external usb drive case. I'll put the drive from my mom's desktop into that case and connect it to my laptop. [06:43] UBUNTUJAY123: then find out which files it installed and what changes it made, then remove the files and revert its changes [06:43] tuu [06:44] why each time when i restart my ubuntu..system do rountine check of drive :/dev/sad5 .its that like scandisk? i did proper shutdown! ..why? [06:44] tux69 sounds like a plan [06:44] tj83: Wish me luck :-$ [06:44] xdfuu [06:44] #jammaah [06:44] I am having a problem with permissions in my home directory and cannot execute or file share my files. Is there a way to make my "home" directory so I dont need root permissions? [06:45] anyone have any experience running ubuntu with a Tyan Tempest i5000XT S2696 mobo? [06:45] Starnestommy: copying is successful if i use cp -R sour dest [06:45] dan__: better use terminal to execute ur files.. use su command.. [06:45] dan__: sudo chown -R : /home/ [06:46] starnestommy okay, I have the port forwarded now ssh user@LAN Ip@WAN ip ? [06:46] starnestommy is that correct? [06:46] nickolaus: no, just ssh user@wan.ip [06:46] ce_supel [06:46] Starnestommy: why i cant copy the folder from explorer ? [06:47] Starnestommy: thanks let me try that [06:47] starnestommy but both computers are behind LAN's [06:47] adi1y1: windows explorer? [06:47] starnestommy multiple computers have the same WAN ip. [06:47] nickolaus: but the forwarding makes the router take it and automatically pass it to the computer behind the lan [06:47] SeaPhor: Ok, tried both and they both did the same thing. As soon as it tried to start X, the screen went black, the backlight shut off, and nothing. [06:48] what's yalls thoughts on zenwalk? i'm using ubuntu right now and am thinking about using zenwalk === robert__ is now known as Guest69756 [06:48] BZWingZero, if it will boot all the way to desktop on the live cd, why not boot from live cd and cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /media/disk/etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:48] Starnestommy: no, the one that opens when you go to PLACES then COMPUTER [06:48] nickolaus: you can configure the ssh server to use different ports, then forward those ports through the router and use ssh -p @ [06:49] Starnestommy: chown: cannot access `/home/dan/.gvfs': Permission denied [06:49] adi1y1: that's nautilius [06:49] what's yalls thoughts on zenwalk? i'm thinking about using it [06:49] dan__: with sudo? === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [06:49] BZWingZero, without mounting the hdd [06:49] Starnestommy: yes [06:49] SeaPhor: I'll try it without mounting the HDD, it didn't work when mounted. [06:49] dan__: are things otherwise working now? [06:49] Does anyone know if its possible to put multiple iso's on a single DVD? [06:49] Starnestommy: yes [06:49] chown -R : /home/dan [06:50] i.e. dan:users [06:50] Starnestommy: ok,dint knew about that. anyways why i cant copy folders from there where as i can copy folder from the termianl if i use cp -R [06:50] Guest69756: it's not ubuntu, so this channel doesn't care [06:50] adi1y1: because it works differently [06:50] Rat409: lemme see what my primary group is [06:51] i know, but i'm currently using ubuntu, so i just wanted to know the comparisons on whether to switch, and a little respect would be nice also [06:51] why each time when i restart my ubuntu..system do rountine check of drive :/dev/sad5 .its that like scandisk? i did proper shutdown! ..why? [06:51] Starnestommy: is it possible to get things done from nautilius [06:51] adi1y1: it is, but you might need to do them differently in nautilius === C0_24_SMG_MAU is now known as Ce_supel [06:52] zenwalk is a slackware derivative and afaik kde,xfce centric.its good but pkgs are not as many as debian/ubuntu [06:52] UbuntuNix: probably because you told it to do that, or it thinks that there are errors and it needs to correct them [06:52] ohh [06:53] can i disable it? [06:53] Rat409: says my group is dan. Would it help if my main group was admin? [06:53] :-/:-/i am using ubunt7.04. Can some one tell me how to auto reload the desktop [06:53] dan__: keep it as dan [06:53] SgtSchultz: no, would you tell me how please? i am bout to reboot now === Ce_supel is now known as ce_supel [06:53] UbuntuNix: does it always do that? [06:53] dan then sudo chown -R dan:dan /home/dan [06:53] past 3 restart.. [06:53] UbuntuNix: go into recovery mode, then run fsck [06:54] prosun: in login manager preferences [06:54] Arcane-Denial, yes..but i dont remember details..google please [06:54] In-Sane``: ok what did you call your backup? xorg.conf.backup? [06:54] SgtSchultz: yes it is xorg.conf.backup [06:54] Rat409: chown: cannot access `/home/dan/.gvfs': Permission denied [06:54] what does compiz do and why do people add it to heron? [06:54] ignore that 1 file [06:54] dan__: that error can probably be ingored [06:55] desolate: it does all sorts of special desktop effects [06:55] desolate: including the famous rotating cube thing [06:55] Starnestommy: ok [06:55] dan__: .gvfs=gnome-virtual-file-system [06:55] Starnestommy, i thought that heron did that [06:55] In-Sane``: so in terminal you would type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:55] Starnestommy, without the use of anything else [06:55] is it possible to change my locale for a console-only version of ubuntu (8.10)? [06:55] desolate: compiz is part of hardy heron [06:56] is it possible to change my locale for a console-only version of ubuntu (8.10) WITHOUT rebooting? [06:56] jlilly: 8.04 or 8.10? [06:56] Starnestommy, oh so you don't need to download it? [06:56] Rat409: whats that mean to me? [06:56] i think something is wrong with the latest kernel update. i had a crash where the caps lock kept blinking. apparently that's very bad :P [06:56] errr. gutsy [06:56] In-Sane``: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:56] desolate: I don't think so [06:56] <__mikem> I just spent the last 2 hours of my life trying to get fwcutter to work. It still doesn't work. I need someone to help me fix this. [06:56] Starnestommy: 8.04, srry, just upgraded 2 days ago [06:56] dan__: it should give the error its locked/in-use it's normal for that 1 file [06:56] In-Sane``: good luck. hope it works [06:56] jlilly: you may need to log out them back in in each console [06:56] <__mikem> well? [06:57] Starnestommy, i keep seeing heron + compiz videos online [06:57] Starnestommy: but it shouldn't require a reboot? [06:57] SgtSchultz: yep, i wrote that down here, going to reboot.. thanks in advance :)) [06:57] Starnestommy, im officially confused by it [06:57] SeaPhor: I tried copying it without mounting. It returned the error "Not such file or directory" [06:57] In-Sane``: ok good luck [06:57] desolate: that's because it's ubuntu 8.04 hardy heron running compiz [06:57] I ran out of CDs can I put the xubuntu .iso onto a DVD and be able to boot fine? [06:57] Rat409: Starnestommy: Thanks for the help [06:57] desolate: other distros, like debian or gentoo, can also run compiz [06:57] and firefox keeps freezing too [06:58] :-/:-/i am using ubunt7.04. Can some one tell me how to auto reload the desktop by writing a shell script :-/:-/ [06:58] <__mikem> Okay, I know I am not supposed to repeat myself, but I don't have time to wait for someone to decide that that it is now convenient to answer me [06:58] Starnestommy, oh i see can you change the burning effect when closing a window to something else? [06:58] BZWingZero, what exactly,,, the "X" in /etc/X11/ is a capital X,,, ? [06:58] was fine before kernel update though [06:58] yes. [06:58] desolate: using ccsm, yes [06:59] Starnestommy, what is ccsm [06:59] __mikem: did you try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM43xx_%28all,_ndiswrapper/firmware%29 ? [06:59] desolate: the tool used to configure compiz [06:59] <__mikem> Starnestommy, no, I am trying to use fwcutter because it worked fine in 7.10, and therefore it should work in 8.10 [06:59] Starnestommy, does it have options for downloading more option online or creating your own [06:59] i'm attempting to compile 2.6.25.x, and am currently wondering as to what a Sempron 3400 would classify as under the cpu list [06:59] SeaPhor, thanks for your help, but its about 2am here and I'm gonna call it a night. I'll try again tomorrow. [06:59] __mikem: try that page first [06:59] hrm,,, look up the directory path, make sure i have it correct [07:00] desolate: I think you can download extra plugins for compiz [07:00] ok, hit me here or on #SeaPhor [07:00] BZWingZero, ok, hit me here or on #SeaPhor [07:00] SeaPhor, will do. Thanks a bunch. [07:01] <__mikem> Starnestommy, the VERY first line of the document says This method is no longer supported and could possibly cause more problems than it fixes. I'm going to leave it up, but just remember - use it at your own risk. [07:01] Starnestommy, extra as in not in repos? [07:01] <__mikem> Starnestommy, how is this a good idea? [07:01] anirudh1: yes [07:02] how would a user/attacker would abuse a /tmp or /var/tmp directory? supposedly this PAM module namespace allows for poly-instantiation to have each user have each own virtual /tmp .. [07:02] __mikem: b43/b43-legacy = no joy here,ndiswrapper with winxp driver works bcm94311 (rev02) [07:02] __mikem: read the rest of the page that I linked you to [07:02] I'm trying to manually edit my xorg.conf file, because my resolution was stuck at 800x600. I just made progress, but I have a problem, so anyone that really understands the inner workings of xorg, do help- My computer seems to be using the full 1028x768, but still only displaying 800x600. What did I do wrong? [07:02] bcmwl5.inf [07:03] amenado: they could create huge files [07:03] Guys, what file system can I use to share files for Ubuntu and Linux? [07:03] amenado: or read improperly secured files in there [07:03] harris: over a network? [07:04] Starnestommy-> doesnt a typical linux would have a limit on the file size on /tmp? [07:04] amenado, yes..see df -h for your limit [07:04] amenado: they may or may not [07:04] Starnestommy: no, on a local computer.... just a slave hardisk. [07:04] harris, win can read/write to fat32 [07:04] llama_: what video card? [07:05] harris: between two linux systems, ext2/3 or reiserfs [07:05] anirudh0-> that would not show the limit other than the max possible content of a partition. [07:05] SgtSchultz, nothing special, just some older laptop that was working fine in 7.10... [07:05] amenado, i assumed tmp was a seperate partition [07:05] Starnestommy: Fat32 > filesharing between linux and win [07:05] btw anirudh1 right now..a random disconnect deproved me of anirudh0 [07:05] :) [07:06] SgtSchultz, I'm using "Plug & Play" drivers right now, I think; I don't know a ton about this all, I'm mostly just bumbling around. [07:06] llama_: Did you tried with sudo dpkg-reconfigur xserver-xorg [07:06] llama_: system>preferences>screen resolution doesn't work? [07:06] !xrdb [07:06] Factoid xrdb not found [07:06] prosun, that doesn't work in 8.04, that only lets you configure the keyboard. [07:06] SgtSchultz, I only have fluxbox; I have an extremely minimal install, because I only have 6 gigs of harddrive. I used the mini.iso. [07:07] harris, more or less [07:07] *deprived [07:07] llama_: are u sure it does not work in 8.04? [07:07] <__mikem> Starnestommy, that was the first thing I tried. It didn't work [07:07] okay so FAT32 is okay to read and write, on windows or linux [07:07] prosun, there's a bug report on launchpad. It's got a lot of people very, very frustrated... [07:08] llama_: o i c [07:08] <__mikem> Starnestommy, ^ [07:08] __mikem: what model of broadcom card is it? and yes, I saw [07:08] try dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg? [07:08] <__mikem> Starnestommy, its the model that ships with the HP Pavilion dv6000 [07:08] __mikem: I don't know which model that is [07:09] __mikem: lspci | grep Network [07:09] ok, amenado g'night, anirudh1 , stop by any time, Starnestommy thanks always for your time g'night all [07:09] i went to hp's site for my full specs. [07:09] SgtSchultz: I am back.. after editing the xorg file do i need to reboot to apply the changes?

There's a chance that fwcutter might not work [07:15] __mikem: you need the firmware regardless,if you want it to work use ndiswrapper and 'doze driver [07:15] yell0w: thank you [07:15] __mikem: and there's some other stuff on that page that you can try [07:15] liassist, look at e17.dunnewind.net..e17 is a desktop environment like kde and gnome..but runs better on low ram etc [07:15] yuh i used the forum script [07:16] i'm attempting to compile the 2.6.25 kernel so that i can use my hardware to its fullest, as the 2.6.24 kernel doesn't have a certain module, and am currently wondering as to what a Sempron 3400 would classify as under the cpu list [07:16] prosun: np, isthat what you're looking for ? [07:16] :) [07:17] is there a way to restore gnome setting to the way they were in the default install..i dont have a backup [07:18] Jalathan: amd64, probably [07:18] anirudh1: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/ [07:18] Starnestommy, this is a 32bit cpu [07:19] Jalathan: then i386 [07:19] Hello. After the latest update of pkg linux-image (and some others) yesterday my wifi device ath0 has gone. Any idea where to look why? [07:19] Ever since the kernel update to hardy last week, I've been having intermittent freeze-ups - might be just the video lockign up, might be the entire system. I have not yet been in a situation where I had the opportunity to try ssh'ing in during one of these episodes. Anybody know more about this? [07:20] vlt: Yeah, see but 180455.

[07:38] yes [07:38] Starnestommy, what is kda and xfce? [07:38] desolate: they're desktop environments [07:38] like gnome [07:38] desolate: regular ubuntu uses one called gnome [07:38] I'm no windows fan, but ubuntu doesn't ever seem to work first go if u try to install something, and windows always does [07:38] Starnestommy, do they emulate the look of another os [07:38] anirudh0_: /msg nickserv ghost anirudh0 [07:39] !paste [07:39] pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel.

[07:41] desolate, you have to use them to see the difference..looks are deceptive [07:41] how do i keep my icons from moving around and changing there order? I think it's because i change resolution from time to time - is there any way to lock them into position? [07:41] anirudh0, have you used them? Maybe there is a few differences you could point out? [07:42] Utalcn2me, no..and you can see why..different sizes will fit in different schemes [07:42] desolate: xfce is more lightweight and its default applications behave differently [07:42] desolate, see this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome [07:42] desolate: it also uses gtk and looks different than kde, which uses qt [07:43] Starnestommy, xfce is'nt really lightweight anymore..the devs have tried to squeeze in all the functionality of gnome [07:43] anirudh0, yea, but i leave plenty of room, i dunno why it would matter.. [07:43] How can I downgrade from FireFox 3.5? [07:44] I'm really disliking it ;/ [07:44] When trying to share folders in my home directory I keep getting "permission Denied" What do I need to do to be able to share folders in my /home directory?

[07:45] Utalcn2me, i've had that problem as well, I think the problems stem from the variable size of the notification area [07:45] Starnestommy: I'm not quite sure. I can't remember what it used to be about three months back :/ [07:45] behiimehii: firefox 3 beta 4? === adante_ is now known as adante [07:46] behiimehii: you can install the package "firefox-2" to get FireFox 2 back [07:46] Ah, that's what it was!

[08:00] Evidently CCSM is already installed, but how do I get that Custom selection under Visual Effects? [08:00] Arcane-Denial: but by default, it's console-based [08:00] Utalcn2me, i done it before. i could, just forgot how [08:01] behiimehii, tweak something in ccsm..the selection will change to custom [08:01] tritium, you don't. you just automount as root or change disk permissions [08:01] llama_: X doesn't autodetect itself properly? its quite good these days [08:01] Ronald, how do I select all visually so I can copy paste it all? [08:02] llama_: gedit? [08:02] anirudh0: I've done that, but the selection is not even there [08:02] sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt or something like that [08:02] Hi all. [08:02] My nvidia drivers are not working. [08:02] In fact, Ubuntu is not even recognizing that I have an nvidia card. [08:02] I don't think, at least. [08:02] behiimehii, you mean the tweaked settings are'nt taking effect? [08:03] Well the only options I have are "None, Normal, and Extra" [08:03] Ronald, right. No, X does not, I guess- when I install, it's just an 800x600. There's a bug report on dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (I think that's what it is) being broken in 8.04 to only do keyboard stuff. [08:03] * nakedgoat looks @ bans ;) [08:03] When I change something there's still no "Custom" [08:03] tony403, sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt or something like that - or you could setup fstab [08:03] MindVirus:have you installed driver for nvdia? [08:03] Of course. [08:03] llama_: not what i mean. X itself, not dpkg, can set itself up quite well [08:03] SgtSchultz: worked, thanks a million man [08:03] Nvidia was working before the kernel updated. === sean is now known as Guest53557 [08:04] behiimehii, screw custom..if settings work then thats all that matters :) [08:04] SgtSchultz: I really appreciate your help, I jave been trying to get working from a long time.. :))) [08:04] But what I've changed isn't taking effect either, which is why I'm complaining :/ [08:04] Ronald, right, I think I realize. I'm just saying it obviously doesn't initially, since I'm doing this, and the typical way to correct that is now broken, thus my rewriting- or am I still missing something? (installing gedit) [08:04] have* [08:04] what do you get if you execute Xorg -configure [08:05] Also, at 1280x800 resolution web browsers look funky, is there a way to fix that? o.O [08:05] In-Sane``: very good compiz is working?

[08:21] Ronald: how in the world did you come up with that? [08:21] DistroJockey, whats qemu ? [08:22] Rat409: yesss, it worked [08:22] {"nakedgoat try starting now"} [08:22] ok sorry [08:22] 768 lines at 60 Hz means it needs to draw 46080 lines per second ;) [08:22] hence 46Khz [08:22] nakedgoat: in reference to !enter. Now, please stay on topic [08:22] lol [08:22] ok [08:22] sir [08:22] DracoZA: PC emulator [08:23] DistroJockey, Tx i'll take a look [08:23] llama_: and hope your monitor can actually do that ;) no responsibility ! [08:23] 31.5-47... why not just 46? (Ronald) [08:23] 46 is just too low [08:23] virtual machines : u can use , xen , qemu, virtualbox, vmware player / server .. google around to get some info [08:23] gets you a max Hrefresh of 59.9something [08:24] Ronald: do I need to edit the vertrefresh? [08:24] llama_: i'd put it. though the defaults are sufficient (default is 50-70) [08:25] Ronald: is there a way to have it reload xorg.conf without restarting my computer? [08:25] restart /etc/init.d.gdm [08:25] log in and out [08:25] restart /etc/init.d/gdm [08:25] ctrl+alt+backspace [08:25] :P [08:25] Ronald, I don't use GDM, does that matter? [08:25] llama_: ctral+alt+backspace will restart X but you will loose your desktop session [08:25] then listen to ordinareez [08:25] sorry [08:26] Hi Matt :D [08:26] Ronald: ha ha, hello [08:26] What do you guys suggest running, Ubuntu Gutsy (version 7) or Hardy (8)? [08:27] hardy 8.04 [08:27] behiimehii: hardy is current [08:27] hardy [08:27] behiimehii: gutsy for stability, hardy for bleeding edge (and some bleeding on your part) [08:27] its also lts ( long term support ) [08:27] hardy is not bleeding edge [08:27] Ronald: not sure i would consider hardy bleeding edge.. [08:28] how to change ubuntu's loading screen resolution, i tried startup manager but there hadn't 1280x800 ? [08:28] i am installing a bin file..and it is showing file not found.. [08:28] What do you mean by bleeding edge? o.O [08:28] wich means , if i am not wrong , 18 months of upgrade and security updates ( 8.04 ) [08:28] although file is there in same dir [08:28] unimatrix9: 3 years [08:28] unimatrix9: 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [08:28] !lts [08:28] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. [08:28] rahul_kumar: ./nameoffile.bin [08:29] Daviey: releasing with a beta firefox, with a major linux specific bugreport from a month before release which makes the system slow to a crawl when running FF for some time is not bleeding edge? [08:29] I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then [08:29] Ronald: including FF3 was a must [08:29] how to change ubuntu's loading screen resolution, i tried startup manager but there hadn't 1280x800 ? [08:29] Ronald: your argument is based on one application? [08:29] Ronald: Well this is going OT for the channel, but we can certainly continue this in -offtopic [08:29] yeah true , so go for 8.04 Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will be maintained and supported for three years on the desktop and five years on the server. [08:29] DistroJockey, i have done same.. [08:30] how do I access my Trash? (where is the default location?) [08:30] tritium: no. broken plugin installs for FF2 as well. also no fixes a month after release. [08:30] rahul_kumar: chmod +x nameoffile.bin ? === breedingh8 is now known as nakedgoat [08:30] stdin: and i understand the reasoning for inclusing ff3, but the ff3b5/sqlite bug should have been patched before release. fix was known. [08:31] DistroJockey, but when i open bin file by cat it opens but during exec file is not found [08:31] che, hows about editting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file - and make the only entry 1280X800 [08:31] DistroJockey, yes i have done that also.. [08:31] rahul_kumar: why cat a .bin? [08:32] DistroJockey, just to check..only during executing it is not found [08:32] rahul_kumar: ohh, sorry. *nods* [08:33] rahul_kumar: what's the bin for? [08:33] llama_: any succes yet? [08:34] Ronald, you broke xorg.conf even worse... it wouldn't load it because the keyboard had two "identifier" lines (I looked and it appeared to be a batched copy/paste). I fixed that, and it loaded me in what appears to be a 640x480 display, unless I'm just imagining it... [08:34] Ronald: back to the drawing board, I guess. [08:34] llama_: wow.. lemme check [08:34] Ronald: Line 6. [08:34] Ronald: it could have been my problem when I pasted it, just as likely. [08:35] llama_: hmz. i didn't edit there. could you please incorporate the sync settings in your own version? [08:35] Also, ctr+alt+backspace doesn't work on my computer- It just brings me to a useless black screen. My tty's don't work, so I'm stuck when that happens. :\ [08:36] Ronald, could you give the pastebin link again? [08:36] llama_: ah i see. there's some minor mistakes when you pasted your xorg.conf into pastebin. [08:36] llama_: remove line 6/7 [08:36] anyone know of a good laptop for less than $1,000 that works with ubuntu really well? [08:36] Ronald, I already fixed that, it wouldn't let me load xorg.conf without doing that first. [08:37] ibm lenovo thinkpad? [08:37] Eee PC? [08:37] * N3bunel saluta [08:37] ^^) [08:37] llama_: grep /var/log/Xorg.0.log for "EE" [08:37] sony viao bx , dell laptops with ubuntu preinstalled [08:37] oddalot, hows about eee pc - i want one :P [08:37] oddalot: have you checked www.system76.com? [08:37] "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log", right? [08:38] yes [08:38] what is eee? [08:38] tritium no [08:38] let me see [08:38] Very small laptop loaded with Xandros OS [08:39] Ronald: [ inserted || to indicate line breaks so floodbot doesn't hate on me] llama@ironbullet:~$ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log|| (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. || (II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER || [08:39] oddalot -> Ubuntu is pretty light weight any laptop that costs more than $500 should run Ubuntu [08:39] 请问：我有两台电脑 一台是xp双网卡 一台是ubuntu8.04 如何才能共享adsl？ [08:39] what about a built in webcam? [08:39] does ubuntu support those? [08:40] llama_: so no errors.... I have to run though, already a bit late. [08:40] oddalot, all, I am also interested in knowing that, am considering buying one for using build in cam soon. [08:40] I would assume that it would depend odd [08:40] llama_: however ikonia has the knowledge to help you for sure ;) [08:40] Ronald, well, thanks for all the help anyways. Another time, I guess. [08:40] ikonia, care to help? [08:40] huh, did someone call ? [08:40] llama_: what's up ? [08:40] Hello. I have a problem with the nvidia drivers. I have installed the new, old and legacy drivers. But my PC doesent work realy good. I want my screen resolutin to be 1280x1024, but it still 800x600. [08:40] it would suck to get a laptop with built in cam, and it doesn't work with ubuntu [08:40] oddalot: check it's supported then [08:41] ikonia: vrefresh/hsync issue in his xorg.conf on old laptop [08:41] dualblader: having multiple versions of that package is not good [08:41] Ronald: ooh, super [08:41] 1280 X 1024 + Ubuntu = Not Fun [08:41] TeamColtra[NADC]: nonsense [08:41] ikonia: I installed and uninstalled. [08:41] In my experiance ubuntu isn't a fan [08:41] ikonia: I'm trying to rewrite xorg.conf; right now, I'm either in 640x480 display, though my desktop size is at the proper 1024x768; I have to use the mouse to scroll to the sides. [08:41] i've never had a laptop, what do you think is important...battery life...screen size?? etc etc.. [08:41] I use 1680x1050 and it's great [08:41] ikonia: x doesn't detect his monitor capabilities, so defaults do th 640x480@75/800x600@56 type [08:41] Ronald: danke [08:42] dualblader: ok, so what card do you have [08:42] i am running 1280x1024 right now and it's fine [08:42] oddalot, all of the above [08:42] Ronald, thanks yet again. [08:42] llama_: what resolution are you actually after [08:42] ikonia: i have a Nvidia NX7600GS [08:42] I just installed windows on a [08:42] Doh [08:42] 1024x768, ikonia [08:42] dualblader: 7600 is nvidia-legacy new [08:42] no...i mean...what is the most important aspect for a laptop? [08:42] (I am also currently running 1280 X 1024 but it wasn't simple to make perfect) [08:42] dualblader, i have 6800gt [08:42] It really depends on you [08:42] oddalot, depends on what you want to do. [08:42] llama_: ok and what card are you using [08:42] i want to kick ass [08:43] Do you want a powerful machine? Than you will sacrafice battery life [08:43] my ubuntu boot slowly , about 3 min till I can use it . Anyone have the same experience ? [08:43] oddalot: thats personal to you, and something this channel can not help you with [08:43] oddalot, I would say ram, videocard, drive capabilities, reliability. [08:43] ikonia: but i installed the legacy drivers and my PC crashed. It had to run on low-grafics. [08:43] dualblader: remove it and use nvidia-glx-new [08:43] But if you want a clear cut answer for you (just to prove ikonia wrong ;) ) battery life [08:43] ;) [08:43] depends...i want to code a lot...but i also will probably watch movies or play games...but rarely [08:43] I just installed Windows on disk 0 on my computer and apparently that's where the Linux bootloader was installed. Now it's gone and even if I disable disk 0, I can't boot to disk 1, where Ubuntu is installed. What's the quickest solution? Can I just use the Windows bootloader? If so, how? [08:43] ikonia, some simple one, I don't really have card issues. It's an older hp laptop, from 1999- 4megs of memory, nothing fancy, should run with generic drivers. [08:43] TeamColtra[NADC]: just to prove me wrong ? this is a support channel, it's not something this channel deals with [08:44] ikonia: i installed that too, it doesen't work, i still have 800x600 [08:44] llama_: but which generic deiver [08:44] I would look at the battery life to power "ratio" [08:44] !grub [08:44] 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 [08:44] llama_: driver [08:44] dualblader: I know - but we can help you through that [08:44] unimatrix9: Thanks, I'll take a look. [08:44] those are the two key parts of a laptop for the uses you talk about [08:45] ikonia, I wouldn't know, I know very little about drivers... didn't know there were several. Not aware of the mechanisms that select which one is apropriate, if indeed such mechanisms exist? [08:45] ikonia: ok, i will install trough envy the newest drivers 4 my grafic card [08:45] and ikonia, I was playing (ie the wink) [08:45] llama_: thats fine- what video card are you using [08:45] dualblader: no [08:45] is this wxga screen really big enough, it's only like 800 height [08:45] dualblader: I didn't say use envy [08:45] dualblader: I said install the nvidia-glx-new package [08:45] ikonia: ok [08:45] dualblader: have you used envy on that laptop before ? [08:46] ikonia, trying to find. one moment. [08:46] ikonia: sorry ikonia, i use a workstation [08:46] llama_: no problem [08:46] dualblader: ???? how is that relevant ? [08:46] dualblader: are you reading the questions I am asking you before you respond ? [08:46] omg [08:46] lolz [08:46] ikonia: (it's very distressing trying to wield firefox in 640x480)... [08:46] kryptonite: what ? [08:46] ikonia: dualblader: have you used envy on that laptop before ? [08:46] So, it found stage1 on (hd1, 4). I take it should do > root (hd1,4), but then do I do > setup (hd0) or use hd1? (I thought the bootloader always went on disk 0) [08:46] ikonia [08:46] dualblader: ok - have you used envy on that "machine" before [08:47] fructose: boot loader goes where you want it to [08:47] ikonia: yes, but in 7.04 [08:47] nvm [08:47] -_- [08:47] Some one could help me with my PCMCIA Wireless Modem, it is hanging up so many times :( [08:47] dualblader: ughhh, "in the course of your trouble shooting have you used envy on this current machine to attempt to solve the problem" [08:47] tritium : thanks. [08:47] ikonia: But I thought the machine always checked the MBR of disk 0 [08:47] breedingh8: no problem === breedingh8 is now known as nakedgoat [08:47] fructose: it does but your doing "setup" in the grub shell, so thats your choice [08:47] pgadmin3 [08:47] Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly? [08:48] hi, what is the matter ? [08:48] ikonia: yes, in 7.04, and it worked [08:48] Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly? [08:48] ikonia, I can't find it- how would you find it? [08:48] dualblader: LISTEN to what I'm asking [08:48] hello ikonia, you helped me once, do you remember? [08:48] ikonia: Umm, I didn't understand what you meant. [08:48] dualblader: you are currently having a problem, in an attempt to resolve that problem hav eyou used envy so far in your troubleshooting [08:48] llama_: what model laptop is it [08:48] ikonia: no [08:48] Everything looks really funky under the 1280x800 resolution, is there a way to make it look right? :/ [08:48] Sortudo: apologies I don't [08:48] someone shoot me a problem, I'm game :) [08:48] dualblader: ok - thats great. [08:48] Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly? [08:48] HP N3290 Pavilion [08:49] Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly? [08:49] ikonia: ... [08:49] dualblader: so install the nvidia-glx-new package, and remove any other nvidia-glx packages [08:49] A list of stats is at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=797310 @ ikonia [08:49] llama_: ta [08:49] metacity --replace [08:49] Anyone?:/ [08:49] ikonia, does ta mean thanks? [08:49] behiimehii: what do you mean by "funky"? [08:49] behiimehii: define funky [08:49] llama_: sure [08:49] ikonia: done [08:49] dualblader: ok - reboot for me please. [08:49] xiliu : create a new user. [08:50] ikonia: ok [08:50] Um, best I can describe it that everything looks all squished together [08:50] llama_: can you pastebin the output of "lspci" please [08:50] create a new user??

[08:50] yes [08:50] what new user? [08:50] Especially the web browesers [08:50] ikonia, this line? 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Motion, Inc. SM710 LynxEM (rev a3) [08:50] oddalot: stop asking [08:50] nakedgoat: could u give me more details?

[08:51] oddalot: asking for value for money comments is nothing to do with ubuntu [08:51] oddalot: please stop [08:51] I dont understand what u mean [08:51] llama_: ok cool, two choices, 1.) use the vesa gneric drivers 2.) try to fight with the Silicon Image evil drivers - your call [08:51] go to system > prefs and usersw [08:51] ikonia: done [08:51] is any relation of this error with new user?? [08:51] /cl [08:52] xiliu : then create like a new user! [08:52] yes it does...if i get a bad laptop that doesn't support ubuntu i will have to ask more questions in here...therefore it IS ubuntu support question [08:52] So is there a way to make everything looks as it should under that resolution? [08:52] Ikonia, what does it matter? [08:52] log out or ctrl+alt+bckspace [08:52] ikonia, this laptop has worked fine with 6.10 & 7.10, and even a botched 8.04 before, and I neve rhad driver issues, so I imagine the vesa drivers should work fine. [08:52] dualblader: great, so the current status is nvidia-glx-new installed, booted and your resolution is poor ? [08:52] He is not impeading the help of other members [08:52] behiimehii: check your dpi settings [08:52] I dont know what u mean [08:52] Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?

[08:52] TeamColtra[NADC]: doesn't matter [08:52] xiliu : u know system [08:53] sure [08:53] i know [08:53] xiliu : them pref [08:53] xiliu: what is producing that error? [08:53] However, My question is, where do you find the desktop background images [08:53] (the default ones) [08:53] pgadmin3 [08:53] nevermind...i'm switching to BSD those guys really know freedome [08:53] -e [08:53] ok u log into ur ubunut with what username? [08:53] TeamColtra[NADC], there are varying philosophies on how offtopic one should let any online discussing in a specified setting get. This channel happens to be rather strict, and so offtopic chat is strongly discouraged. It's just the nature of the beast here. It's very busy, it can't afford any discussion that distracts from its intended purpose. [08:54] dualblader: can you show me the output of "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" please [08:54] I'm saying go to system > prefs > users create a new user log in, see if u have the same issue [08:54] behiimehii: system > preferences > appearance > fonts > details... > Resolution [08:54] ikonia: shore [08:54] I have seen this room MUCH more off topic [08:54] I'll brb [08:54] afk [08:54] llama_: just reading your thread to walk through your current config....be with you in a minute [08:54] behiimehii: the "dots per inch" is your DPI setting [08:54] lol just kidding bsd sucks [08:54] the simple debating back and forth on whats topical and not is a simple example.. it could have been avoided by just answering the mans question [08:54] oddalot: stop wasting peoples time, and stop messing around with poor jokes [08:54] ikonia: nothing happens [08:55] Why do i have 3 diff kernels in my grub menu? [08:55] TeamColtra[NADC], that doesn't justify it being offtopic now, though. That's a very simple logical fallacy. [08:55] Hm... may I ask what your is set to? I have mine at 96 [08:55] sorry... [08:55] TeamColtra[NADC]: the question was answered, and the dicussion kept going - please take it to #ubuntu-ops if you don't like the policy [08:55] dualblader: perfect, as I suspected that is your problem [08:55] dualblader: please "sudo modprobe nvidia" you should get a warning/error [08:55] btk [08:55] ikonia: nothing happens [08:55] hello [08:56] dualblader: ooh really, thats a surprise, please try "lsmod | grep -i nvidia" again please. [08:56] I am not to concerned with it... I just think instead of bitching you could have just said "looks good, but thats the last laptop question i will answer, if you would like more help you can querry one of us or go to a channel that is specializing in this" [08:56] nakedgoat, too lazy to say back? [08:56] ikonia: lsmod | grep -i nvidia works now [08:56] Halp!!!..My Ubuntu Works 2 Good......Halp!!! [08:56] dino_ : yes [08:56] However, still wondering where I find the default background images [08:56] lol [08:56] dualblader: now that is a surprise. Please do Ctral+alt+backspace to restart X [08:56] xcell: please calm yourself [08:56] can ubuntu do autologin? [08:56] ok [08:57] I only use 1 user [08:57] lol halp [08:57] TeamColtra[NADC]: there are some packages in the repo called things like "ubunut-desktop-backgrounds" [08:57] but how to differ administration password from user?

[09:02] my mplayer runs but no sound [09:02] ikonia: lsmod | grep -i nvidia - works [09:02] do i have to install any codecs ? [09:02] ikonia, np... and take your time, you're practically being superhuman helping all these people at once. [09:02] dualblader: ok, thats a solid start, so in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you will see a section saying Identifier "Configured Video Device" [09:02] What's a good DPI to set? [09:02] dualblader: in the line under that add driver "nvidia" please [09:02] maxibuntu : use VLC [09:02] ;) [09:02] behiimehii, 72 [09:03] Thank you [09:03] I can walk u thru setting up sound for mplayer [09:03] llama_: about to say the same advice to you - in the line under "Configured Video Driver" - add the line Driver "vesa" [09:03] vlc rox :) [09:03] nakedgoat: does vlc run without X [09:03] vesa for an nvidia card? [09:03] maxibuntu : without x? no [09:04] mplayer does [09:04] ? [09:04] ikonia: there is already driver "nvidia" under the other one [09:04] dualblader: ooh really. [09:04] nakedgoat: i do not have X in here [09:04] dualblader: have you got nvidia-settings installed ? [09:04] maxibuntu : lol server? [09:04] ikonia: yes... [09:04] ikonia, there is no section "configured video driver", did you mean "configured video device"? [09:04] dualblader: how does your X session respond to that [09:04] llama_: yes, sorry, typo [09:05] nakedgoat: yup, i use server image [09:05] maxibuntu : i can't help with server sorry [09:05] nakedgoat: server is the same base as desktop [09:05] it's server lol [09:05] sounds no need [09:05] ikonia: first, it say'd to type sudo nvidia-xconfig in the termina, then to reboot [09:05] ikonia : u know, but depenices are diff [09:05] dualblader: ooh, thats not good [09:05] ikonia: after i done that, the nvidia-settings works [09:05] nakedgoat: no they are not [09:06] ikonia : k [09:06] dualblader: ahh, ok so what if you do it now with the nvidia-module loaded ? [09:06] dualblader: does it ask you to reboot ? [09:06] ikonia : then u help him, casue i can surely get sound on x86 x64 [09:06] ikonia, to make sure I understood you properly- it should look like this, then? Section "Screen" [09:06] Identifier "Default Screen" [09:06] Device "Configured Video Device" [09:06] Driver "vesa" [09:06] Monitor "Configured Monitor" [09:06] llama_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:06] idon't do server. [09:06] llama_: spot on [09:06] nakedgoat: it's the same base as desktop [09:07] I don't run it [09:07] ikonia: srry, i didn't understend what is this nvidia module, is the nvidia driver? [09:07] so I won't be as much help [09:07] Why does Ubuntu provide 2 different folders: ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2? [09:07] ikonia, so I should reboot now? ctr+alt+backspace doesn't work on my computer, that'll be what I'm in here to fix next time... [09:07] ikonia: it's ok, no need to argue with nakedgoat :) [09:07] dualblader: (when you did lsmod - thats the nvidia module that interfaces between the kernel and the nvidia driver) [09:07] llama_: ok [09:07] nakedgoat, if you do not have a genuine question, please move along, you're not contributing any value to this channel. [09:07] I will only help with what i run and I can help with appears I need to run a server vm [09:07] it worked and without rebooting [09:07] elkbuntu : thanks [09:08] ikonia: it worked and without rebooting [09:08] you should set monitor modes [09:08] dualblader: ok, so thats a step forward, it now knows the module is loaded [09:08] dualblader: how does it respond to changes now ? [09:08] I ahve an idea for the server dude [09:09] ikonia: my only changes are "auto" [09:09] ikonia : sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 [09:09] hey all, my bf just installed ubuntu on my laptop and i am trying to access our NAS, i have to do something re my CIFS Credentials, but i really have no idea what that means [09:09] Please! I make a paste.bin http://paste.ubuntu.com/18291/ <> that contain, pppd debug file output, resolv.conf, ifconfig, route, lsmod etc... could you help me to analize it ? [09:09] dualblader: so if you change the settings in nvidia-settings now - does it work [09:09] nakedgoat: why are you telling me this ? [09:09] and google well, google is um, i cant find anything [09:09] ikonia : my bad sorry [09:09] my modem hangup every time !!!! [09:09] ikonia: yes, works, but the screen rezolution is "auto" [09:09] dualblader: sorry, what do you mean "auto" [09:10] ikonia: i mean, 640x480 [09:10] hbomb, did you try the google linux search? [09:10] dualblader: can you not force the change through nvidia-settings ? [09:10] maxibuntu : sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 [09:10] ikonia: what do you mean? [09:10] dualblader: apologies, I've not got nvidia-settings on my laptop so I'm working from memory [09:10] nakedgoat: !paste [09:10] dualblader: there should be a setting in nvidia-settings to allow you to set the resolution [09:10] lol [09:10] PCMCIA wirelles modem 3G evdo, Model Yiso C893 made from Quallcom. [09:11] ikonia, they have to be defined first [09:11] seven_six_two hmm, i tried a google ubuntu search [09:11] Seven_Six_Two: ahh, thank you [09:11] dualblader : u mean !paste | nakedgoat [09:11] Seven_Six_Two: I assume that definition is picked up from the xorg ? [09:11] #samba xorg.conf sorry [09:11] oops [09:11] Seven_Six_Two: xorg.conf I mean [09:11] ikonia: i know, but i can't change resolutin, my only alternatives are "auto" [09:11] dualblader: Seven_Six_Two has just explained wh [09:11] why [09:12] nakedgoat: does mplayer needs gstreamer, aren't they for totem ? [09:12] afk [09:12] ikonia: and how i do that? [09:12] maxibuntu : yes [09:12] dualblader: just waiting for Seven_Six_Two to respond [09:12] afk [09:12] dualblader: I assume you need to define the modes in xorg.conf [09:12] ikonia: looks dangerous [09:13] Why does Ubuntu provide 2 different folders: ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2? [09:13] dualblader: nah, xorg.conf modes arn't great fun, but always easy to undo. I'm concerned why your not getting a better resolution on detection though [09:13] ikonia, yeah. I can't dump it all here, but there should be a lot more to the xorg than that [09:13] bullgard4: legacy packages [09:13] back yes it does/. if u wanna run that on a server install [09:13] bullgard4: it's an issue with gnome === fra is now known as Guest30413 [09:13] Seven_Six_Two: no no, I understand that, just wanted to check it picks up the settings from xorg.conf === yacc_ is now known as yacc [09:13] ikonia: why does this version of ubuntu (8.04) have so many problems with the screen resolution? [09:14] dualblader: to be honest, it normally doesn't. [09:14] ikonia: lagacy packages are provided in ~/.gnome? [09:14] dualblader: its a big step forward with detection, hence why I 'm concerned at your poor responses [09:14] bullgard4: legacy configs [09:14] dualblader : I run on it on my dell 1501 runs awsome. === Guest30413 is now known as francy [09:14] bullgard4: some old things in gnome use it [09:14] ikonia: I see. Thank you for explaining. === francy is now known as fran [09:14] I had what seemed like a virtual desktop of about 4000x2000 [09:15] ikonia: in 7.10 it worked pretty well, never had so many problems (only with opensuse 10.3) [09:15] OT: does anyone know how to turn a 96 civic using just the ignition wires? I have a white, white/black, yellow, yellow/black. I'm not sure what's ground and whats not.. [09:15] xeer : can u fix up my ford? [09:15] dualblader: I'm wondering if the problem is around your monitor EDID information being advertised [09:15] ciao [09:15] xeer: off topic is not welcome here [09:15] xeer: #ubuntu-offtopic is there [09:15] Starnestommy: Why is this an issue with GNOME? Please elaborate. [09:15] #ubuntu-offtopic [09:15] bullgard4: it's a problem in gnome, not ubuntu [09:16] ty ikonia [09:16] dualblader: could you pastebin (it's a big file) your /var/log/Xorg.0.log in a pastebin please. [09:16] ikonia: i think this too because it doesen't detect my monitor, but the compiz works [09:16] Starnestommy: Your message is so short that it is not understandable to me. [09:16] dualblader : what is ur issue? [09:17] dualblader: yes, I suspect you monitor is throwing out bad EDID info, ubuntu 8.04 rely's more on auto detection rather than hard coded config files [09:17] dualblader: thats probably the reason your having more problems [09:17] bullgard4: the reason for both ~/.gnome/ and ~/.gnome2/ existing is a problem with gnome itself, not just ubuntu [09:17] ikonia: what should i do? [09:17] dualblader: can you pastebin that error file for me please so I can see where it's falling down [09:17] ikonia: i have a LG Flatron l1919S [09:17] dualblader, did you post your xorg.conf? [09:17] Starnestommy: Right. -- Thank you for your comments. [09:17] Is it possible to make a Pantech Wireless USB Adapter by Verizon Wireless work on Ubuntu Linux? [09:18] Seven_Six_Two: Where?

[09:21] ふうっf [09:21] XeKtRuM: put a \ before the space [09:21] dualblader, you need a module and serverflags section [09:21] XeKtRuM: or put the folder name in "quotes" [09:22] ikonia: I had already deleted and rewritten lines from memory in the conf file I was using, so copy pasting that one wouldn't be useful- however, firefox still had the last pastebin of the xorg.conf file that I was using just before I added the "Driver "vesa"" line to it, so I added the driver line and made a new pastebin- that is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18296/ [09:22] i don't understend what to do O.o [09:22] llama_: ahhh ok [09:22] it doesn't work, mntent complains [09:22] How to get the keys for the default repos?

[09:24] i had tried /media/Windows/Documents\ and\ settings/ & /media/Windows/"Documents and settings" & "/media/Windows/Document and Settings" and none of thems seems to work [09:24] Dickinson, just remove the files for the old kernel, and preferably the lines for booting it in /boot/grub/menu.lst (important, don't remove this file, just the lines concerning the kernel you want to remove) [09:24] Flannel: thanx a lot [09:24] XeKtRuM: the whole path in "quotes" [09:24] FreeFull: No, that's a bad way (tm) to do it [09:24] ikonia: may i wait for you for analize my past, with me?

Should i use the last if the first refused to update some of the packages? [09:45] jeroen_: there isn't any that I'm aware of on linux [09:45] jeroen_: and this definitely sounds like a question fot another channel [09:45] ok [09:46] well i use ubuntu [09:46] DragonSpirit: if i do that fonts look crappier :( [09:46] Dickson: yep (I use apt-get dist-upgrade my self, but I suspect that's the same as aptitue full-upgrade) [09:46] where do i upload screenshot? [09:46] jeroen_: and ? [09:46] jeroen_, but off topic here [09:46] ikonia: i based it on the guide at http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_setup_ubuntu_5.10 [09:46] crappy_fonts, while you are there you could always try picking different fonts too [09:46] adammw111: ok, let me have a quick loo [09:46] look [09:46] askvictor: ok. hope it won't crash) [09:46] hi === vox_ is now known as vox [09:47] ikonia, did you mess with the refresh rate on that one? It was still 80x600, but totally non-legible screen stuff; everything was heavily distorted slightly diagonally. [09:47] 800* [09:47] how can i compile a module and install it, from the kernel tree?? please [09:47] crappy_fonts, coiuld try different options under the "details..." button too [09:47] llama_: no, refresh stayed the same [09:47] llama_: not what I expected [09:47] DragonSpirit: ok trying alt fonts + options. BTW I even have core fonts installed! [09:47] dynamethod, are you going to paste your menu.lst too? [09:47] kyaneos: what module [09:47] not off topic.. if i would ask how to install a sweetx usb digital tv would u tell me how to install it? [09:48] ikonia: e_powersaver [09:48] kyaneos: what module, and why? [09:48] Seven_Six_Two : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5125994&postcount=2 [09:48] jeroen_: ok, I'll end it. "there is no software to illegally unlock cell phones under linux" [09:48] its on the same thread [09:48] ikonia, no I'm looking at it, just answered my own question- the horizrefresh had been changed to 31.5-47 by Ronald. [09:48] llama_: ah [09:48] :( [09:48] On this file it's 28-33. [09:48] hi all, when playing video all the colours messed up, but everything else is fine even the gnome previews are fine. It doesnt even matter which player i use (VLC Mplayer Totem etc) any ideas? [09:48] i dont want to ilegally do it [09:48] other then that I don't know what to say, as I am using a 22 inch LCD and the fonts look great [09:48] jeroen_: if it violates your terms of service, it's illegal [09:48] jeroen_: well, then talk the phone to where you got it and ask them to unlock it [09:48] ikonia: don't know how it happened.... I guess I'll change that and try again. It was still 800x600, though... [09:48] llama_: thats quite frustrating [09:48] if i really wanted that i would write a program for that myself [09:48] jeroen_, take this elsewhere please [09:48] llama_: I'll study your config more [09:49] jeroen_: ok - then write the softrware yourself [09:49] :( [09:49] >:( [09:49] dualblader, please stop [09:49] :( [09:50] why do i have so many problems in ubuntu 8.04 [09:50] ? [09:50] cwraid: what video card you using? And messed up in what sense? [09:50] dualblader: still waiting for that log file...... [09:50] s/cwraid/cwraig/ [09:50] ikonia: what do ya mean? [09:51] i ghave a problem...i cant shutdown without the terminal?! [09:51] dualblader: I've asked you for your xorg log file [09:51] i give that to you [09:51] askvictor, im on nvidia (binary) & all the colours wrong, green grass is red etc 3d games are fine tho [09:51] dualblader: I've not seen it [09:51] DaPutzy: what command are you using to shut down? [09:51] dualblader: what was the pastebin url [09:51] http://pastebin.com/deac532e [09:51] in the terminal its alll right..but at the GUI the button is away ;) [09:52] if it helps my domain controller's smb.conf is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/18301/ [09:52] dualblader: no thats your xorg config file [09:52] dualblader: I asked for the log file [09:52] where do i get that? [09:52] dualblader: I've told you 3 times [09:52] 08:46 < ikonia> dualblader: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [09:53] almost all ubuntu log files are somewhere in /var/log/ :) [09:53] cwraig: can you try some other output modules in VLC (or mplayer or whatever)? Xvideo, X11, OpenGL? [09:53] where is xmms (v1) in ubuntu 8.4? [09:53] priest, audacious replaced it [09:53] priest:get it sudo apt-get install xmms2 [09:53] im still having this problem of software not completey being removed after a 'apt-get remove' or 'apt-get --purge remove', theres alot of files from packages being left behind, taking up space in general, how does one actually COMPLETELY remove a package? [09:53] !xmms [09:53] For the reason why xmms is no longer in the hardy repositories see: http://bugs.debian.org/461309 . Consider using audacious instead. [09:53] soulhacker: xmms2 is different from xmms [09:54] !xmms|priest [09:54] priest: please see above [09:54] http://pastebin.com/d4bbcea59 [09:54] dynamethod, /boot is on the 4th partition? [09:54] ikonia:sorry didnt realise the difference since have always used xmms2 only [09:54] thats cool [09:55] dualblader: the problem is lines 1716 to 1733 [09:55] Seven_Six_Two no first, /dev/sda1 [09:56] dualblader: looks like it's your mointor giving out duff information [09:56] i just tried a apt-get remove splashy, and theres a whole lot of files left over, is there some magic command to remove software? [09:56] dynamethod: use sudo apt-get remove --purge splashy [09:56] ikonia: that is what we presumed [09:56] dualblader: yes, log file confirms it though [09:56] dynamethod:to remove extra files use apt-get autoremove [09:56] ikonia: now, what should i do? [09:57] askvictor, thanks that got it opengl2 is fine [09:57] ikonia: give a punch to my LG? [09:57] dualblader: well, need to work out the correct settings for the monitor and hardcode them into your xorg.conf file, which is a drag [09:57] ikonia: ^^ [09:57] hello [09:57] ikonia: looks hard work [09:57] dualblader: it will be [09:58] ikonia: :( [09:58] dualblader: let me have a quick shower and go to my desk to work this through [09:58] ikonia: ok [09:58] dualblader: 15 minutes and we'll go thorugh it, as this isn't a 2 minute job [09:58] Starnestommy no, does not work, have tried many times, much still left over [09:58] ikonia, I think I'm just going to do this the easy way and copy and xorg file from a DSL liveboot, so don't worry about it. [09:58] im following the kvm howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM . But about the network, is it better to bridge the eth0 (public ip) or to bridge to a secondary nic (fake one with dummy for example) ? It' remotly, im afraid to lost the link [09:58] llama_: worth a go [09:58] Starnestommy particularly in /etc [09:59] askvictor, for some reason the X11/Xv driver is all messed up, the openGL one is fine, is there any reason that i should care enough to figure out why? [09:59] how can i change the logon screen resolution? [10:00] dynamethod, not according to menu.lst [10:00] Starnestommy what? [10:00] #nvidia [10:00] !paste [10:00] 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) [10:01] dynamethod: I'm confused [10:01] Starnestommy forget about the menu.lst, im trying to uninstall splashy, never worked probably never will for me [10:01] dynamethod: are you trying to talk to me or Seven_Six_Two ? [10:01] Starnestommy: what is your DPI set to? [10:02] Er, PDI [10:02] damnit sorry im getting confused too [10:02] how can i find out at the terminal what kernal i'm using [10:02] behiimehii: 96 [10:02] hiptobecubic: uname -r [10:02] hiphophippo: use "uname -a" [10:02] who was i talking to? [10:02] dynamethod, I thought you wanted to get it working [10:02] Seven_Six_Two yeah but its not going to happen i think [10:02] thanks [10:03] Seven_Six_Two ive tried alsorts of things [10:03] dynamethod, ok. I think you're just choosing the wrong partition to load it from in the menu.lst [10:03] Starnestommy: and does the resolution look ok to you, or is it odd-looking? [10:03] behiimehii: it looks OK for me [10:03] Because that's what I have mine set up to, and it looks horrible [10:03] behiimehii: I have 1440x900 [10:03] Is there a command line program that operates like nm-applet, for easy wifi connecting while in Recovery Mode or something. [10:04] behiimehii: so you may need something bigger for the DPI [10:04] Ah, that'd explain it. What would you suggest for 1280x800? [10:04] I've been messing with it, but nothing really seems to help :/ [10:04] !recoverymode [10:04] Factoid recoverymode not found [10:04] damn [10:04] Seven_Six_Two i dont know anymore, mission aborted [10:04] dynamethod: what was your problem? [10:05] ripps: recover mode a euphamism for single user mode or something? [10:05] ripps: iwconfig [10:05] mnemo getting splashy to work, couldnt do it [10:05] mneom oh and removing software [10:05] tritium: I know about iwconfig, but it's just to confusing to setup. I was hoping there was something that could do it all automatically like nm-applet does. [10:06] that one is really getting to me now [10:06] hey [10:06] apt-get --purge remove does not remove everything related to the package im trying to remove, taking up more space, unecessarily [10:06] anyone ever got an e-mail from piracy@fbi.gov? [10:06] it removes the /bin files or w/e [10:06] but everything else related to the package remains in /etc [10:07] dynamethod: it should remove anything that came with the package [10:07] it's apt-get remove --p[urge packagename [10:07] Joshyboy: haha what [10:07] I got an e-mail from piracy@fbi.gov today [10:07] ikonia: i am exausted, thaks for your help, i will try it tomoow, bye bye [10:07] but I'm pretty certain it's fake [10:07] B_ ive heard, apt-get remove --purge, and apt-get --purge remove [10:07] yea, fbi cant really threaten people [10:08] I know [10:08] but either way, nothing is fully removed [10:08] Joshyboy: whats the email asking for? [10:08] dynamethod: --purge rwemove package [10:08] orly [10:08] Joshyboy: give me your porn. love, fbi [10:08] "Hello Joshua.

[10:38] dualblader, use mine as a template: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18309/ but keep in mind I have a 6800, 22"monitor, svideo tv, mouse, kb, trackball and a drawing tablet [10:39] janice8951: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [10:39] I sure hope that helps [10:40] daritter i know i know i know i know about that stupid file, but thats not the problem anymore [10:40] Hi, I'm was trying to install IntelliJ IDEA but when I run the sh-script, i get an error:exec: 61: /bin/java: not found [10:40] What is that Starnestommy? [10:40] kikkertje, install java [10:40] That would have been helpful. You shouldn't just blindly point someone to a website and not tell them about it., [10:40] janice8951: that's a page on how to set up the apache webserver with mysql and php [10:41] Starnestommy: I haven't any idea what those things are. [10:41] janice8951: they're used for making websites [10:41] Seven_Six_Two, i have allready installed the java package [10:41] I don't want a bloody webserver. I need a home network [10:41] janice8951, you want file sharing? [10:41] janice8951: oh. As in one for file sharing? Try samba [10:41] So that I can use this Machine running Kubuntu as host to store files that I can access wirelessly. [10:42] have a problem with java installation. Can't fing the plugins directory of firefox. Can anyone help? [10:42] Yeah, Samba is impossible to figure out to setup. [10:42] janice8951, samba for linux-windows, nfs for linux-linux [10:42] Been at this for 4 hours now. [10:42] !samba | janice8951 [10:42] janice8951: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Can anyone help? [10:43] janice8951, or just use fish:// in konquror or ssh at the shell [10:43] Starnestommy: I have been at this for 4 hours. I still have nothing to show for it. NFS is nice and all, but I am starting from scratch, and that's pretty complex eh [10:43] #kassedutux [10:43] Is it possible to partition the HD to give my Ubuntu partition more diskspace using gparted without the Live CD? [10:43] Don't think so dynamethod [10:43] janice8951, it's not too bad and the docs are good. you have to set your exports file on the server and add entries to the mtab on the host [10:44] have a problem with java installation. Can't find the plugins directory of firefox. Can anyone help? [10:44] janice8951, and make sure a few processes are running [10:44] You'd need to unmount the drive, which you're using Dynamethod [10:45] janice8951, all together there's 2 configuration lines for each partition that's shared [10:45] PLEASE!!! I've been working on this for over 5 hours! I just want my screen to look right! Surely this isn't that hard? Just a simple xorg.conf problem.... what the hell is wrong with 8.04 anyways?!?!?! [10:45] have a problem with java installation. Can't find the plugins directory of firefox. Can anyone help? [10:45] Dickinson, about:plugins in the firefox address bar? [10:45] llama_, did you see my xorg.conf and compare it to see if you're missing something? [10:46] Okay, this is not working [10:46] kikkertje, maybe make a link to the binary in your /bin directory [10:46] Seven_Six_Two, did I miss a link you sent me earlier or something? I don't know where I would have seen your xorg.conf, sorry. [10:46] Is it normal that in hardy I don't get an ATI control panel whn I install the fgrlx drivers ?

[10:50] legend2440, it's linux-linux, samba is a waste for that [10:50] kikkertje, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java is the source and /bin/java is the target [10:51] Seven_Six_Two: yours looks almost nothing like mine. Mine just has a bunch of "Configured ___" crap, nothing that I can edit, all so it can perform some features that I don't care about, some "hotplugging" ability or something. Why did they have to screw with this? Why couldn't they have just left dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg in? Seriously, what is the deal? I'm about to pull my hair out over this, nothing works, there's no clear indicat [10:51] ion of what is wrong, it just doesn't function...

[11:45] Starnestommy: let me check again [11:45] it also says Checking for texture_from_pixmap: not present. [11:46] probably has [11:46] Ronald.... I never personally installed it, but I don't know if it is installed or not. If you want me to check, I actually don't know how to do that, though I know you can. [11:46] mich: which ubuntu version do you have? [11:46] apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion // though you probably have it, seeing the log [11:46] Starnestommy: i should search mysql-server in synaptic right ? [11:46] adi1ya: just use sudo apt-get install mysql-server [11:47] llama_: can you insert after the line: Driver "siliconmotion" [11:47] llama_: HorizSync 31.5-47 [11:47] Ronald, when I do "Sudo aptitude install xerver-xorg-video-siliconmotion", it tries to remove 1 package, and doesn't newly install, upgrade, or not upgrade anything... [11:47] Ronald: same line? [11:48] sorry mistake [11:48] Ronald: as in, on the same line, not on the line beneath it? [11:48] anyone has experience with LDAP+pam+samba? [11:49] Starnestommy: its not installed...thank you!!!!!1 [11:49] llama_: On a new line AFTER the Modeline (in Section monitor) [11:49] llama_: HorizSync 31.5-47 [11:49] gma: what do you want to do? [11:49] llama_: then on another new line [11:49] woah... Ronald, this is all in section device. What are you talking about? [11:49] VertRefresh 50-70 === askvictor_afk is now known as askvictor [11:49] llama_: i made mistake, should be in secrion monitor [11:49] askvictor: I need to set up a production server which to use LDAP. Now it has pam and samba auth. [11:50] I need a working tutorial or so [11:50] Ronald, so repeat all of that clearly in one paragraph.... === yakobmatrix__ is now known as yakobmatrix [11:50] llama_: i'll pastebin it, moment [11:50] llama_: this monitor section : http://paste.ubuntu.com/18322/ [11:50] gma: so you want the linux server to provide ldap services? [11:50] daritter: agreed [11:51] askvictor: yepp :) [11:51] llama_: and the Driver-line from device [11:51] Ronald, should I remove "driver "siliconmotion"" from the Section devices? Or still leave that? [11:51] leave [11:51] as daritter pasted [11:52] askvictor: there is so much dox, but not too useful (they all writing about setting up a completely NEW server) [11:52] monitor can only handle depth of 16, FYI, I'll edit that... [11:53] help with getting some files off a vista machine through ubuntu (wired to router) from vista laptop (wireless to router) cant see files? [11:53] llama_: don't, monitor should be able to do 24bit ... any vga color monitor can. [11:53] gma: smbldap? [11:53] you also have the videomemory to do it ;) [11:53] llama_: reading "man siliconmotion", the card is only limited to 16bit if you use dualhead [11:53] Ronald, the stats I looked at said 16; even still, 16 should run faster, right? And isn't 24 just more likely to create problems? [11:54] Hi guys, can anyone help me out with pidgin or finch? I am using them for over 6 months and sometimes it connects and sometimes just throws an error "cant connect" .... I'm using an msn account and already have tried the http method and all... Is there any other GOOD msn client to use in Ubuntu? [11:54] askvictor: yep I think this is te tool, but what I need is a guide how to not break down the production server :) [11:54] use kopete [11:54] PTom08: kompete? [11:54] kopete yes [11:55] llama_: in the log I see the driver attempt to validate 32bits modes even. so don't worry about this section [11:55] PTom08: thanks man... is that kopete based on libpurple? [11:55] still, guys, isn't it better to just try it at 16 for now, especially since at least one place gave that as the cap? essentially- 24 probably should work, 16 should definitely work? [11:55] I need help with some basic cd-command to install alsa drivers [11:55] is anyone using google earth??? have problems with font. Can anything be done about that??? Installed from medibuntu [11:55] gma: playing with fire :) If it's important I'd try replicating the entire box and playing with that; or at least a solid backup [11:55] Ronald, so should I go change it back to 24, is that important? [11:55] roycocup: I think it's based on something else [11:55] llama_: sure, but 24 should be no problem ether [11:55] llama_: 1 change a time is best [11:55] thanks Starnestommy and PTom08 [11:56] llama_: the driver validated 800x600, 60Hz at 32bits [11:56] :) [11:56] is anyone using google earth??? have problems with font. Can anything be done about that??? Installed from medibuntu [11:56] daritter, Ronald, should I restart now, and try it out, then? [11:56] How can I get cd to target specific files? [11:56] yes [11:56] Dickinson:ya i use it [11:56] Hm [11:56] brb... [11:56] askvictor: it's probably enough to have the main points what I shoud check. I know the logic now, but never done that before [11:56] Dickinson::but no font problems [11:57] help me with 3D accelerate with my old ati rage 128 [11:57] soulhacker: what version - 4.2 or 4.3?? [11:57] Ronald: kind of cruel to let him restart his whole machine everytime ;) [11:57] /whois [2nd]Step [11:57] daritter: well, if the driver bugs on zappign X :( [11:57] I got speedstepping on my Quad core working now (4x2,5 Ghz) but the only steps available are 2ghz and 2,5ghz is there any way of changing that? [11:57] pho3nix_: cd /to/the/file [11:57] Hey, I'm back, with a new fresh install of Ubuntu [11:57] Dickinson:4.2 [11:58] soulhacker: so gonna downgrade then [11:58] Barbarella [11:58] Seven_Six_Two: Can you give me one more time your xorg config? [11:58] When I do that it tells me it's not a directory [11:58] Dickinson:well i didnt see 4.3 cuz if it was there i would have been updated [11:58] pho3nix_: yes [11:58] Dickinson:anyways will get it and see [11:59] And that leaves me with 0 achievments [11:59] quit [11:59] no dice... [11:59] llama_: fresh log please :)? [11:59] Ho have a LG Flatron? [11:59] pho3nix_: what do you want to do? [11:59] soulhacker: it's there in medibuntu. try search. but seems it is buggy. Just installed 4.2 and no font problems [12:00] Dickinson:well ok [12:00] Install alsa driver/lib/utils [12:00] /\/\/\ o.0 /\/\/\ [12:00] daritter: ya know.. IPV6 would be ideal.... would allow someone to ssh into the machine... much quicker [12:00] /\/\/\ .0 /\/\/\ [12:00] aguila922, stop that [12:00] I've copied all the files, it's just compiling that's left [12:00] Ho has a LG Flatron? [12:00] /\/\/\ jajaja /\/\/\ [12:00] /\/\/\ ok /\/\/\ [12:00] /\/\/\ ^^ /\/\/\ [12:00] aguila922: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:01] aguila922: disable that script [12:01] DualBlader: I have F700B [12:01] pho3nix_: and where did you cd need for? [12:01] Ronald: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18325/ [12:01] Well, I was told so here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [12:01] gma: can you give me your xorg.confg file? i have a flatron l1919s and i need to configure the xorg in mode to work my Ubuntu with 1280x1024 resolution [12:02] !paste | gma [12:02] gma: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [12:02] llama_: i might have been too conservative in calculating the hsync [12:02] sure, a moment [12:03] thx [12:03] llama_: one moment, lemme retry calculating === m4tte_ is now known as ap3iron [12:03] Ronald: ok. [12:03] llama_: but be assured: the log looks very promising [12:03] pho3nix_: so where does it go wrong? [12:03] DualBlader: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18326/ [12:03] Complie and install [12:04] gma: thank you! [12:04] for some reason update manager is stalling whenever I click on 'install updates'... I can still install the updates w/ apt-get commands, but the gui stalls forever. anyone know what this is related to? [12:04] After cd:ing to /usr/src/alsa/ its stuck in that directory [12:04] llama_: indeed, we need a bit over 47 ;). can you tell me what resolution at what refresh the display is supposed to be able to handle ? [12:04] And I cant get it to target the specific file [12:05] Ronald, no, I can't say for sure. I thought I remember 1024x768@60 being right, but I'm wary of anything being true at this point... I am losing hope in the functionality of xorg at all. [12:05] barbarella: it's telling me to target the driver-package and then install and configure it, right? [12:06] pho3nix_: have you already downloaded the newest alsa drivers? [12:06] Yes, and copied them to /usr/src/alsa [12:06] llama_: change 47 for 49 [12:07] But "cd" is supposed to target the archive, right? [12:07] Hello, How do I change my boot order in Ubuntu ? [12:08] You change boot @ boot [12:08] pho3nix_: and when you do a cd /usr/src/als, then it goes wrong [12:08] Ronald, looking at the log... it says of mode 1024x768 "(no mode of this name)"; should it actually be @60 in there? [12:08] No, it works out great. It's just that I'm targeting the dir /alsa/ [12:08] duduman: gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:08] Ronald: went ahead and made that change, only one instance needed the change, right? [12:09] llama_: not too worried about that. X is trying a 1024x768@60hz mode from its default list, however its invalidated due to my too conservative 47Khz hsync [12:09] pho3nix_: what is in the /usr/src/alsa directory? [12:09] Sallamz to all [12:09] koi he [12:09] ya nahi he [12:09] llama_: 1 change only [12:09] kaha chale gai sab [12:09] any one [12:09] KhuNNi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:09] ? [12:09] Ronald, daritter, restarting, brb...

[12:10] where should I type: gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:10] pho3nix_: you have to unpack them first [12:10] Doh.... [12:10] pho3nix_: try "tar -jxf alsa-driver-1.09rc4a.tar.bz2" [12:10] Whats the command for that? I tried it in the dir, but it had restricted access [12:10] Ok [12:11] pho3nix_: sudo [12:12] Thanks a bunch. I'll get back to teh_n00bsch00lbus [12:12] why does my laptop sound like a ticking time bomb? it makes ticks at almost exact 1 second intervals. there is no disk usage. do i have a mechanical hardware clock, or should i start running in the opposite direction?

I still have one other problem that is a bit intruiging, but it nothing more than a nuicance.... my mouse has two glitchy shadows. I remember in one of these thousands of configs, I noticed the two glitchies disappeared.... I'll have to go figure out what fixed it and how to implement that in this working one. Thanks again... [12:15] Now, I've been up since 11:30, and it's 6:15 so.... I have a meeting at 10:00.... yeah... sleep... [12:15] I have windows xp and ubuntu but want xp to boot first how do I do that [12:16] llama_: lol :D [12:16] good luck [12:16] :) [12:16] dudman: ill guide you through it open terminal [12:17] duduman: have you got terminal open [12:17] yep thanx for guiding me [12:18] Question: What is the best text editor for linux?

Synaptic says i already have libnotify, but XChat keeps popping up an error saying it needs libnotify to give me popup messages. (alerts) [12:33] krissyafc: open a terminal and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" [12:33] Zababa: I told you the command in my last response, but why not use System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers? [12:33] alexis: you see, what I am referring to is written in here https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.28.8-inst.html under Minimum systen requirements [12:33] Zababa: you should not edit your xorg.conf file unless you know what you are doing, and even if you know what you are doing, you should make a backup copy first.

[12:36] yes [12:36] krissyafc: what if you try /usr/bin/dpkg? [12:36] cgentry72, when you open a mp3 file, it should guide you to install the codecs needed. [12:36] lolcatz: #ubuntu-offtopic for that, this channel is only for support [12:36] Gin: it already did but the mp3s have stopped playing now for some reason [12:36] jrib : thank you [12:37] lolcatz, i would if my microphone worked (using optical SPDIF as output so the comp has a hard time using analog input at the same time) [12:37] Gin: i was going to uninstall it and reinstall the codecs [12:37] cgentry72, bad mp3 file?

[12:37] Gin: i do but my system sounds dont work [12:37] Ward1983 : am looking forward to it and hoping you'll find a way to fix it :D [12:37] Umm, what could the problem be for error creating child process for this terminal [12:38] cgentry72, no sound in vlc? [12:38] my sound works but ubuntu wont play system sounds but vlc plays them [12:38] I can't open a new terminal, or new tab in an existing terminal window, or use sudo [12:38] krissyafc: did you try /usr/bin/dpkg instead of "dpkg"? [12:38] sudo apt-get install build-essential gets me the error [12:38] yes sound in vlc and movies etc [12:38] I think that if ATI refers to some X.Org versions or XFree86 versions, there must be a way to find out, whether these are the version on my ubuntu 8.04 [12:38] cgentry72, install vlc-plugin-alsa vlc-plugin-pulse [12:38] Gin: will this allow my system sounds to work though [12:38] Ok i put: sudo apt-get install build-essential in termanal and got that error i need to fix it [12:39] cgentry72, I think so. depends on your system settings [12:39] Gin: ok i'll give it a shot cause the preview mp3, wav doesnt work [12:39] krissyafc: try "sudo /ur/bin/dpkg --configure -a" [12:39] oh /usr/, not /ur/ [12:40] conb123: it says You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again. [12:40] i get: defult@defult-laptop:~$ sudo /ur/bin/dpkg --configure -a [12:40] sudo: /ur/bin/dpkg: command not found [12:40] i want to reformat my external harddrive, is gparted a good program to do this with? [12:40] [QUESTION] can someone help me with mounting time capsule disk on ubuntu? I have searched a number of forums for days but without finding anything that helped me. [12:40] krissyafc, it is /usr [12:40] krissyafc: sry, my mistake : "sudo /usr/bin/dpkg --configure -a" [12:40] Gin: no go, still doesn't let me play the system sounds [12:41] yin_yang2k: what's the problem? [12:41] duduman: ok i think i got it [12:41] smrz yes [12:41] its setting up stuff [12:41] cgentry72, do you have firefox with flash open? [12:41] Zababa, I don't understand your problem, you don't have direct rendering activate it's that? [12:41] duduman: close it up again without saving [12:41] Gin: nope [12:41] conb123: thanks for being so patient [12:41] cgentry72, weird [12:41] ok [12:41] duduman: no problem go back to terminal [12:41] krissyafc: if you can't just call "dpkg" and need to give the full path, your PATH variable is messed up [12:41] ok [12:42] its setting up alot of things [12:42] I get connection refused when i try to connect with the command: "sudo mount.cifs //IP/TCname/dir /mountpoint -o pass=pass [12:42] !who | krissyafc [12:42] duduman: this time type gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:42] fsckd, so i've opened up gparted, and seleted the drive, but all the partition options (new, deleted, resize/move) are greyed out... is there something I need to do before i can change hte partitions? [12:42] Gin: so i was thinking uninstall the codecs and reinstall them but the system automatically plays wav files upon startup without the codecs [12:42] cgentry72, go to System->pref-> sound [12:42] krissyafc: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:42] cgentry72, what do you have selected as output for sound playback? [12:42] duduman: then it will ask for your password so enter it and press enter [12:42] microwaver: have you resolved your screensaver issue? [12:42] askvictor: the same command works greate for other samba shares. [12:42] smrz you need to unmount it first [12:42] help [12:43] !help [12:43] I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;) [12:43] jrib: its setting up modules and things from that command you gave me ..is that ok? [12:43] !help [12:43] yin_yang2k: do you need to specify the username? [12:43] krissyafc: that's fine, did you see my comment about your PATH [12:43] fsckd, thanks! now to reformat, should I just delete the partition on there and create a completly new one? [12:43] done [12:43] emma, No I did not. [12:43] jrib: yes [12:43] alexis_: yes. After having gone through the installation procedure for the open source ATI driver (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver), I checkes for direct renderung (glxinfo | grep "direct rendering") and it says direct rendering: No [12:43] !paste | DualBlader [12:43] microwaver: okay let me see if I can help you. [12:43] so i need to give the path to it not just the name? [12:43] duduman: ok now do the same thing cut and paste the windows entry before the ubuntu entries [12:44] microwaver: you want to disable your screensaver from the command line? [12:44] Gin: autodetect [12:44] smrz no you can just format it with what FS you want [12:44] krissyafc: have you edited your PATH variable? [12:44] done and saved [12:44] emma, I adusted it in the screensaver section and in the powermanagement section. but it doesn't seem t work, so I think i'll have to [12:44] duduman: ok great but dont close it [12:44] askvictor: nope. when I connect to it from my macbook you only have to specify the password. it also worked greate to connect from my windows machine, but one day i didn't work from windows. and now i can't connect from ubuntu [12:44] jrib: how do i do that? [12:44] krissyafc: what does 'echo $PATH' return? [12:44] ok [12:44] microwaver: okay open a terminal and type: sudo killall gnome-screensaver [12:45] alexis_: and to find out why direct rendering is off, I did LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo, but I don't understand the output of it at all. [12:45] yin_yang2k: so it doesn't work from windows anymore? [12:45] duduman: ok now scroll up to the line that says #hiddenmenu [12:45] duduman: found it [12:45] microwaver: let me know when you have done that. [12:45] Zababa, ok well, can I see the outpout of the comand please? [12:45] yep [12:45] puisque je rentre mon login correctement [12:46] emma, done [12:46] duduman: just remove the hash before hiddenmenu and save it [12:46] jrib: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [12:46] yin_yang2k: have you tried mounting it from the file browser? File->Connect to server... [12:46] askvictor: i tried to specify wrong ip to se what kind of error i get. wrong ip = timed out wrong pass = connection refused . but when i specify wrong password to an other samba share on my macbook wrong pass = permission denied. And yes it dosen't work from windows either [12:46] microwaver: now paste this into your terminal: gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/screensaver/start_screensaver false [12:46] sorry :p [12:46] ok [12:46] krissyafc: no reason for it not to find "dpkg" then, try 'hash -r' and make sure "dpkg" works [12:46] i'm installing openarena now but the download is slowing my internet connection down. can I pause this or something then I'll just resume later? If I cancel this now, will the files that I finished downloading stay in my hard drive? [12:47] sudo apt-get install build-essential << is working now [12:47] is that it? [12:47] emma, and that just disables the screensaver. do I need to do that every time I boot? [12:47] askvictor: trying that now.. [12:47] duduman: yep just close it after you have saved it and restart and test it out [12:47] microwaver: this is changing the gnome_settings_daemon so I don't think you have to do it every time you boot. [12:47] microwaver: but the truest answer is that I do not know :) [12:48] now lets wait for it :P [12:48] yeah! :) [12:48] JRIB: i am about to restart hold on :) [12:48] conb123: thanks a lot for helping me out. I have one last question, where did u learn all these command [12:48] yes they will [12:48] microwaver: did you get any error or message of any kind? [12:48] duduman: various places i usually just googled it [12:49] conb123: thanks a lot [12:49] Hi to all! I have a problem with jack audio connection kit. I'ha just installed it and, from menu, I'ha started jack-rack. Noting appened so i try from terminal and this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18337/ I'm not a lot able to understand this messages and use kubuntu (I have 8.04) [12:49] fsckd, they will what? stay in my hard drive? [12:49] lots of reading [12:49] emma, none at all :) [12:49] microwaver: that's probably a good thing then :P [12:49] yes they will stay there [12:49] yin_yang2k: If it doesn't work from windows then it prolly won't work from linux using samba... I'd see if there's config for the time capsule that you can change? [12:49] duduman: if you want to learn some commands you could bookmark this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=990636 [12:49] fsckd, thanks [12:50] np [12:50] emma, normally it wold yes :) [12:50] askvictor: hm. when i don't enter domain i just got an simple error (failed to mount windows share) when i specify the domain i set on TimeCapsule i get the password input window. But after entering the correct password i get the same error [12:51] hello everybody ;) [12:51] Hello [12:51] jak hello === mydokumen is now known as co_Op [12:51] emma, thanks a bunch :) i'll let ou know if it doesn't work [12:51] just wanted to know which app is suitable for my N80 on Hardy? [12:52] askvictor: i tried enterint different errors (wrong path, wrong pass, wrong ip) to se which kind of errors i get. And it seems that there is no problem finding the TimeCapsule, it just refuses the connection. [12:53] yin_yang2k: So it might be a problem at the time-capsule's end; see if you can change the config of that somehow [12:53] BACK [12:53] askvictor: when i try the command in the terminal on my macbook it dosen't work either. i get connection refused. but i can connect using finder... [12:53] Hey! How do i modify from xorg.cfg my refresh rate? Thx! [12:53] askvictor: ok. i tried almost everything now :) [12:53] microwaver: okay great, please do, I have another idea if it doesn't.

[12:53] microwaver: if you don't mind, could you let me know if it *does* work too? [12:54] jAk, opensync [12:54] daritter: thx [12:54] askvictor: the only way i can access the time capsule with linux is to scp to a folder on my macbook which is a symbolic link to a folder on timecapsule XD tnx for your time!

I've can't remember [13:16] AL-G77, you dont need it there are no *nix virus's [13:16] AL-G77: you don't need one. All your packages should be coming from official repositories where only trusted people can upload packages to [13:16] Hey guys...how do I change my default image viewer (not just from Nautilus but from all apps)? [13:16] jrib: it's close, but not the same. I want alt-tab but instead of the outline I want to see the whole window, just like you know... kde, compiz, windows, os x, pretty much every other window manager out there :). Kinda silly that gnome doesn't have an option for that [13:17] Does anyone know if Creative Media Explorer works on linux? [13:17] okay :-) thanks guys [13:17] avg offers one for linux [13:17] jaffark: i did that command but i get a GNU NANO? [13:17] Evie, sorry i dunno what fluxbox is [13:17] psyco, can u not just attatch it and mount it as a drive then drag your stuff onto it? [13:17] flithm: ah, yes, I don't think that is possible with metacity itself. You want something like expose on osx right? [13:17] Seven_Six_Two: Are you afk? [13:17] krissyafc: it should open a file that all the blacklisted module, simply comment that one out [13:18] Ho does have a LG Flatron? [13:18] what line? [13:18] Bodsda: I am not sure. I haven't bought it yet. I'd assume it is possible but Creative Media Explorer has video conversion. [13:18] Bodsda recordmydesktop [13:18] bodsha its another windows manager. and i juste need the command to give the startup file the right to launch gnome-power-manager as root [13:18] no idea, look through the list krissyafc [13:19] Ho does have a LG Flatron? I need his xorg.conf. [13:19] can someone please help me I changed the boot sequence to make windows xp my default operating system but now its not working and I can't save the menu.lst as it needs permission but I don't know where to add the permission. The process of changing the boot is much harder on Ubuntu than on xp. Please Help!!!! [13:19] Oberon, you could try setting doing it again with 777 but I don't know if that will help [13:19] psyco, ask the #winehq guys but ffmpeg can convert files [13:19] ok what one do i comment out [13:19] Ho does have a LG Flatron? I need his xorg.conf. [13:19] AL-G77: clamav or avg usually usefull when sharing files between pc's but packages are all safe [13:19] ty koshari ;~) [13:19] Bodsda: Ok ty for your help [13:19] fsckd, Okay i'll try that, thanks, brb [13:19] Ho does have a LG Flatron?

I just want alt-tab to work like it does on other WMs. I want it to work so that when you alt-tab the window actually gets raised to the front (until you alt-tab to the next window) so you can see the whole window, rather than just the window outline that gnome displays, plus I also want a box to appear that shows the window list in small icon format (just like the one that appears in gnome when you hit alt [13:19] duduman, change your menu.lst as sudo [13:19] DualBlader, yeah?

[13:38] hi everyone [13:38] so i ask my question here [13:38] if i make a chmod on this file, will it give the script the rights for? [13:38] microwaver, has a problem where periodically his screen just goes black. He feels it is the screensaver doing it. To the best of my ability I tried to help him deactivate his screensaver. I think it is likely that his screensaver is disabled right now. So it might be something else causing the black screens. Could someone here please help him? [13:39] Evie, if you chmod the script you will have the rights to run it thats it [13:39] ok [13:39] The problem only occurs when I'm inactive of course. [13:39] so wich chmod i must do to permit the script to do a root action? [13:40] emma: can he recover from that at all? [13:40] sorry i am a noob [13:40] :) [13:40] StoneNewt: he's here. microwaver see StoneNewt [13:40] how to access something as an administrator [13:40] sudo ~ [13:40] i have a problem with alsa sound: it is used exclusively be the applications, i.e., either banshee xor skype access it [13:40] StoneNewt: he's also running compiz, although I have no reason to think that's involved, just for your information. [13:40] so wich chmod i must do to permit the script to do a root action? [13:40] duduman: sudo ~ [13:40] by the way this permission thing is really bad they should remove it [13:41] microwaver: what graphics card are you using? [13:41] has anyone an idea how to setup alsa in a way that i can listen to music and skype at the same time? [13:41] kiru: does skype support ALSA? [13:41] magnetron: i think so [13:41] yes [13:41] kiru: are skype and your music player set to use alsa` [13:42] ? [13:42] Hey guys...how do I change my default image viewer (not just when launching from Nautilus but for any app)? [13:42] when I type sudo .... it asks for a password in the terminal and I can't type anything [13:42] how do I specify the voice I want espeak to use? [13:42] ajax4, click open with and set the default at the bottom, there would be a "checkbox" [13:42] DualBlader, do you have pastebinit installed [13:42] duduman: did you typed but nothing appeared? [13:42] yes [13:42] duduman: type your regular passwords. sudo will not display any stars, but it listens anyway [13:42] magnetron: i dont know... how can i check it? in banshee->preferences i dont see such an option [13:43] Bodsda, so wich chmod i must do to permit the script to do a root action? [13:43] duduman: thats normal [13:43] StoneNewt, its a x1000 or something, ati [13:43] ajax4, or "hit properties on a pic" and click last option to set it [13:43] fsckd: no, but is one on internet too [13:43] duduman: that way your password cant be comprimised by someone looking at screen [13:43] Evie, you have to do that with sudo or gksudo actually in the script [13:43] !paste | fsckd [13:43] fsckd: 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) [13:43] ok thanx [13:43] codyzapp: I tried the "open with" tab in Nautilus, but that only changes the launching pref for Nautilus. When I launch from inside other programs it doesn't use that preference. [13:43] DualBlader, do this for me sudo apt-get install pastebinit [13:43] Bodsda, so a chmod is noteffective? [13:44] kiru: check system > preferences > sound, make sure it's set to alsa. also make SURE that skype is set to use alsa [13:44] DualBlader, then sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [13:44] ajax4, try right clicking on a picture and choosing properties, and there should be a tab labeled "open with" [13:44] no need to cat it [13:44] how do I access menu.lst as an admin? [13:44] and never sudo cat anything [13:44] duduman: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:44] Evie, no its effective,.,.just not what you want [13:45] codyzapp: I already did that. It works, but only in Nautilus. When I launch of a pic from file-roller it uses the system default, Eye Of Gnome. [13:45] DualBlader, then give me the url it spits out [13:45] microwaver: you can see what your video card is by typing: lspci | grep -i VGA [13:45] why ist gksudo ? [13:45] Bodsda, hum i just want to permit the script to lauch this application [13:45] ajax4, oh intresting... i dunno then :( [13:45] DualBlader: you can just pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.config [13:45] codyzapp: Try it.

[14:00] krissyafc: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [14:01] microwaver: yeah that would be control+alt+backspace (note to everyone reading this, doing that will close all your applications and restart X) [14:01] kikkertje: they're something like "foo -g" [14:01] :( [14:01] microwaver: no don't restart the xserver [14:02] that will cancel the setting [14:02] emma I know I know [14:02] StoneNewt, aha... [14:02] StoneNewt: microwaver oh okay. I thought since we made an adjustment to an X config file it would have to be restarted.

I want to build docs for something, and then auto upload them to my server. Is that possible? [15:04] (sorry for repeating) [15:04] solexious, if you share a folder on your machine it may automatically install all needed programs to "auto" find the other machines.

[15:05] __Adam__ Sorry, I was busy.. if it is only a add remove in kde issue then #Kubuntu might be a better place for help. I dont do kde.. [15:05] <__Adam__> okays :) [15:06] gjorenet use dd [15:06] ok [15:06] Leefmc: it is possible, easiest way would be to use a mirror-programm to mirror a local dir to a remote site [15:06] The site seems to be there, but the edgy related directories are not. [15:06] gjorenet Create ISO of CD Rom... dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/YourUserName/Desktop/file.iso bs=2k [15:07] Jack_Sparrow, can u tell me a program to do that? [15:07] gjorenet You can increase the buffer size to improve speed as needed [15:07] AverageGuy, this is using the auto search feature? [15:07] gjorenet That command I gave in a terminal will do what you want [15:07] gjorenet: right-klick the cd-image -> copy cd and use the "Create CD-Image" Burner [15:07] Of synaptic? I don't know I'm not real familiar with synaptic. How do I tell? [15:07] Leefmc: use a terminal ftp client?? [15:07] ok thnx [15:07] irc://irc.xdcczteam.net,irc.xdcczteam.org/xdccz [15:08] AverageGuy: system->administration->software sources ...were it says Download from choose others [15:09] AverageGuy, go to System/Admin/Synaptic package manager.. once there go to Settings/Repositories/Download from server [15:09] scunizi: ty [15:09] does any know if it is possible to mess up a router using iptables [15:09] surgeongeneral you cant harm the router, but you can make it unuseable [15:10] Sure, this is where I have a download from but the has only two entries, US server and main server. [15:10] inaccessible etc [15:10] Um all computers that connect to it share the same ip [15:10] AverageGuy, choose "other" [15:10] has me puzzled [15:10] No other option. [15:10] its like its a switch [15:10] Two options, main server and server for the US. [15:11] AverageGuy, must be a new feature in gutsy/hardy.. [15:11] edgy [15:11] hello [15:11] Oh, I see.

[15:13] AverageGuy: didn't you know that edgy was going out of support? [15:13] I didn't think that meant flush all repos. [15:13] AverageGuy, then just install what ever version you'd like to be at and while doing it don't reformat /home and all your stuff will still be there. [15:13] [Q] When i go into places->network->workgroup it doesnt find any other computers, where as in windows it finds my 5~ other computers, any help? [15:13] AverageGuy The old repos are still somewhere I just dont have a link.. they may have been lumped together [15:13] samba [15:14] I understand but this system has scads of programs installed that may or may not be in repositories.

[15:24] Elijah, use tab to complete nicks.. much easier. [15:24] cool, I will try to make sure I do that then [15:24] littlesniper: and i asked if the reports are in launchpad or not. you answered with "blablabla" [15:24] scunizi, Thanks [15:24] DIL what services would you like to serve? [15:24] littlesniper Answer the questions please, we are trying to help.. if you just want to rant and troll please leave [15:24] Elijah, now you know why it's better to use xchat on irc :) [15:25] what interesting usage has one come up with temporary file system tmpfs ? ever uses /dev/shm for general memory use? can you give some insights please.. [15:25] scunizi: irssi ftw :) [15:25] I dont know what is a launchpad, but in ubuntu bug pages the bug is mentionned [15:25] scunizi, Yup sure do - Thanks for the push, I am glad they have a portable version, I will be sure and thank the developer(s) [15:25] DarkAudit, with screen .. rocks [15:25] amenado: there is a gui package for autopsy but i seems that it will only work with the server kernel??

[15:27] mcgreg: some broadcom cards do, some don't depends on what model you have [15:27] mcgreg one of mine did another did not [15:27] DarkAudit, it's really nice to know terminal apps for when you need them..

[15:28] i guess no one fiddle with tmpfs for special purposes or general day to day usage? [15:29] Jack_Sparrow, where would you suggest i look to start learning more about some fundamentals? it seems most docs ive looked at are more advanced than my understanding so far [15:29] Hi everybody! [15:29] amenado: i used ramfs to preload a movie before watching it, it opened instantly :D [15:29] does hardy already support lvm implementation on the install routine? [15:29] !training [15:29] A desktop course manual for Ubuntu 7.10 can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training [15:29] mcgreg, may not be needed but alot of people having issues with wifi try this as last resort when you think is SHOULD be working http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765284 [15:29] eric most of that still applies [15:29] remoteCTR1: if you use the alternate CD, yes [15:30] Jue [15:30] remoteCTR1, in the alternate install cd [15:30] :P [15:30] magnetron do you mind telling me what steps you took to make use of such tmpfs or ramfs?

[15:30] !alternate | remoteCTR1 [15:30] remoteCTR1: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.

[15:33] surgeongeneral HAve you tried burning a data dvd and not a vob or other multimedia [15:33] I have tried under command prompt and under gui [15:34] magnetron-> do you have to set the size of that ramfs to match the size of the movie iso or it auto adjust the file size needed as soon as you copy large enuff? [15:34] ptk is a gui for the forensic application autopsys [15:34] I am trying to burn iso image [15:34] surgeongeneral: yes, but could you elaborate on how you experience this problem? which application are you using to burn the DVD? what steps did you go through to experience this problem? [15:34] surgeongeneral Have you tried burning a data dvd and not a vob or other multimedia [15:34] I am updating hardy heron but Im not sure it will help actually [15:34] amenado: ptk is a gui for the forensic application autopsy [15:34] all programs I have wasted 7 dvds on it [15:34] littlesniper, have you enable the drivers under system-admin-hardware drivers? have you looked at /etc/X11/Xorg.conf? [15:35] magnetron: scunizi: one more question please; is it menu guided or do i have to do that manually by entering commands into a shell? [15:35] amenado: i think i just copied it over. however, i couldn't do it in Nautilus since nautilus would think the ram drive was full... so i had to do it in terminal [15:35] surgeongeneral Have you tried burning a data dvd and not a vob iso or other multimedia [15:35] remoteCTR1: it's menu guided [15:35] Not yet [15:35] magnetron: NICE!! thanks man [15:35] tj83: well I have enabled the drivers in xorg.conf, the thing is not about the driver being not enabled, It is (nvidia logo shows at boot), its about random freeze [15:35] I burned a iso to a cd but not dvd [15:35] !who | surgeongeneral [15:35] surgeongeneral: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[15:36] err [15:36] DIL your firefox may not be using the correct app to open the phtml file..so you look into the mime type and correct the corresponding error? [15:37] abyss [15:37] amenado: ptk worked before i had to reinstall everthing after video crashed [15:37] tj83: however when I go to the place you say (from the menus) it says the proprietary drivers are not used, which is obviously impossible [15:37] magnetron I will try a data burn on dvd [15:37] DIL: try this command: sudo tasksel install lamp-server [15:38] tj83: to used BUT activated [15:38] littlesniper... not sure how to help you... why is it impossible? enable them and restart [15:38] DIL its a very specific to your autopsy app or in general you dont get access? [15:38] gosh i dont know if i should tell anybody but i am torrenting that alternate cd with 4.000KBps(!!!) [15:38] somebody familiar with audacity? [15:38] 5600-.- [15:38] tj83: they ARE enabled, but it is said "not used" with a red bullet [15:38] 7.700:D [15:38] remoteCTR1: bittorrent is always the fastest way to get any ubuntu iso, there are lot of supporters seeding it [15:38] Running fsck on a drive causes a kernel panic, the drive is being force checked on bootup so I can't boot, any idea how to proceed? [15:39] littlesniper, and xorg.conf gives "nv" for driver? [15:39] chimp: start in recovery mode? [15:39] tj83: no i have set nvidia [15:39] magnetron btw, thanks for those insights, im looking around for such usage of tmpfs in general, for any issues if anyone can use it without security problems and such.. [15:39] amenado: specific [15:39] That runs fsck, causes kernel panic magnetron [15:39] littlesniper, try "nv" and restart [15:39] chimp: ok, did you try it? [15:39] magnetron: 2minutes 40 seconds for 700mb:DDDD i think im going nut [15:39] hi everyone [15:40] tj83: damn, the driver works (I have 3D) but i have random freeze, and I had not that in gutsy [15:40] amenado: the only difference when i booted i saw server kernel listed - iwanted to install that [15:40] DIL then you have to look into how firefox have to handle that pthml type ..look around the mime types [15:40] magnetron: Yep, also tried running fedora live cd and running fsck on it (my ubuntu one is scratched), and that causes kernel panic as well [15:40] remoteCTR1: if you seed the iso for a while, it will be even faster for the next guy [15:40] amenado: ty [15:40] it's been awhile since I've used Ubuntu and I'm thinking of going back. but I had a problem loading x86 software on my x86_64 version of ubuntu. is there anyway around that? [15:40] chimp: weird bug. you should perhaps send a dd of your drive to LKML? :D [15:40] amenado: i will kepp trying [15:41] littlesniper, but its worth a try to change to "nv" to see if it resolves your freezing issue... nv/nvidia different driver [15:41] magnetron ok I am testing it is going through the check sum [15:41] magnetron: dont worry i am a skilled torrent0r;) [15:41] DIL sorry i was not able to lend much help ..sometime i can only sort of another pair of eyes [15:41] tj83: how do I change back ? directly from the xorg.conf file or is there a clean way ? [15:41] magnetron: LKML? And could you instruct me how I would do that [15:41] ok iso is just that won't burn [15:41] amenado: ty [15:41] how should I go about creating a link from my windows partition with a music folder to my ubuntu's home folder. i want the link to be created on every boot up. [15:41] I think [15:42] chimp: ok, what i'm saying is report your bug to launchpad please [15:42] !bug | chimp [15:42] chimp: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots [15:42] ahh cheers [15:42] littlesniper, through xorg.conf is about as clean as possible really.. any config apps going to be much more less clean just change "nvidia" to "nv" and if it works great if not you can just change back [15:42] magnetron nope dvd segmentation fault [15:42] Hi... Running Feisty, is it able to recieve remote desktop by default? Or do I have to set it up? How about VPN? [15:43] Not VPN...

However it works. Can I do something to see buttons pl?

[15:45] amenado: ah ok thanks [15:45] littlesniper, then maybe you have uneeded or conflicting paramaters in xorg.conf.. all i know is ATI but alot of people have to remove alot of variables to make it work clean... alot of uneeded stuff in there.

It's just for suspend/hibernate, everything else comes back up just fine. Any solutions? [15:50] danbhfive, good question. I had it before. Something happened and audacity couldn´t find my sound drivers! A volunteer informed that I could use a stable version of audacity. The repository supports beta version 1.3..something!

[17:32] i have a question in regards to 64-bit Ubuntu and 32-bit applications [17:32] musikgoat: yes... [17:32] Just did a re-installation of 8.04 and Gnome is noticably slower. The menu, for example, will take two seconds to appear, after I click Application, Places, or System. Any ideas of the cause? [17:33] musikgoat: you'd notice if it was straight sh. [17:33] er, dash [17:33] i haven't used Ubuntu in some time but when I did use it I was not able to install software that was flagged only for 32-bit systems, is there a way around that? [17:33] can someone remote in here an set up my dang wireless an lock this thing in so it stays runnin or is that a bad question to ask? [17:33] Heroin_: To change the default sound for events in ubuntu, go to System->Preferences->Sound. Click on the sound tab in the window that appears to choose which event you wish to change the sound to. [17:33] musikgoat: what do I have to do now ? [17:34] Hobbsee: i just assumed it was calling sh -> dash... can you look at eraldo's problem? [17:34] OfficerHotpants: the new 8.04 has 32-bit compatibility libraries pre-configured into the 64-bit version. [17:34] i have another question? is there an advantage having a ubuntu box set up as a router-firewall over a regular linksys router? [17:34] eraldo: what are you trying to do? all user accounts by default use bash, not dash. [17:34] anyone one who can help me regarding "session" problem? [17:34] anyone one who can help me regarding "sessions" problem? [17:34] m-c: awesome, thanks for telling me that :-) now I don't have to use Gentoo lol [17:34] ferronica depending on the problem, maybe. Why not just ask the actual question? [17:35] can someone remote in here an set up my dang wireless an lock this thing in so it stays runnin or is that a bad question to ask? [17:35] Yeah, check out the new 8.04 if you have not seen it. Some really exciting improvements inside. [17:35] Hobbsee: when I log into my machine remote via ssh ...there are no colors [17:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18515/ → why I get this error while compiling VLC 0.8.6h?Is there a repo for a compiled one? [17:35] Hobbsee: If I do ". .bashrc" ...then it works [17:35] eraldo: do you get a prompt like eraldo@hostmachine: ? [17:35] pinkypinky, sure the ubuntu ones [17:35] Hobbsee: yes [17:35] bazhang but it's old :| 0.8.6e [17:35] nickrud: i am unable to run "session" [17:35] * Hobbsee wonders what . . bashrc does. [17:36] m-c: i think i'll have to give it a shot. one reason why I liked Gentoo so much is that even though I was using a 64-bit cpu and OS i could still run 32-bit software with virtually no problems, then when I switched to ubuntu it wouldn't let me use some software that I wanted to [17:36] Hobbsee: but the prompt has no color anymore [17:36] nickrud: not working "sessions" [17:36] . .bashrc sounds like it loads the enviroments from .bashrc [17:36] eraldo: right, so you're definetly using bash, but the .bashrc isn't taking, it appears [17:36] hi [17:36] oh, and between ubuntu, xubuntu and kubuntu, what's the difference between the interfaces? they look all the same. is that nautilus? [17:36] if you are using bash shell it should be loaded automatically [17:36] OfficerHotpants: uh, just the window manager... [17:36] how do I change the language to English? (everything is in French dpkg, apt etc) [17:36] Bhavesh: well, yeah... [17:37] Hobbsee: a friend of mine told me to put ". .bashrc" into the bash "profile" file [17:37] Hobbsee: how about adding a ~/.ssh/rc file with environment="NAME=value" [17:37] Hobbsee: but that sounds like a workaround... how "should" this be solved normally [17:37] musikgoat: because that doesn't work for the host system. [17:38] ferronica I'm not sure what you mean, you don't run 'gnome-session' directly .. [17:38] oh [17:38] nickrud: yes from system - preferences - "sessions" [17:38] eraldo: your .bash_profile should look like http://hobbsee.com/tmp/.bash_profile [17:38] eraldo: you can download that one and use it [17:39] nickrud: when i click on it to open it nothing happen === FRiEd|BnC is now known as FriedCPU [17:39] ferronica ah, try running gnome-session-properties from a terminal [17:39] eraldo: your friend missed a bit of it [17:39] yo kids. im trying to use ati display drivers and my resolution got messed up... best way to fix? edit xorg.conf?

[17:54] and i downloaded [17:54] ok [17:54] nickrud: then rm.xauthority [17:54] chmod +x file.bin [17:54] but is in bin [17:54] file [17:54] ^ [17:54] Dickinson: does wciew not have a project web page or something?

[17:56] ferronica hm, then there's something more wrong with your system. I would make sure that you hit clt-alt-backspace right now, and log back in. The sequence of logging out, doing the remove, and logging back in has to be in that order [17:56] Drk_Guy: now you just boot into terminal? [17:56] No consigo crear un lanzador que me lleve a la carpeta de "documentos" me dice "error aplicacion...permiso denegado" [17:57] er [17:57] musikgoat: Nope, no video signal until X starts [17:57] nickrud: you there is some more problem [17:57] Leibnew english here, what language is that [17:57] oh now this is just silly... I can navigate the images with my keyboard, but the mouse won't always work... ant it tests fine [17:57] Hey, I'm trying to log into a friend's computer via SSH on a LAN that is WEP encryption . I have root but it's telling me that Permission denied. anyone know why. [17:57] nickrud: it's spanish [17:57] !es | Leibnew [17:57] Leibnew: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [17:57] nickolaus are you trying to login as root? [17:57] nickrud: if u see that google search toolbar in right upper corner [17:57] perdon [17:57] but u are saying [17:57] hmmmm [17:58] rename it [17:58] Drk_Guy: oh, like the initial loading is not the right resolution for your monitor... try searching google for information like that... [17:58] nickrud: when i type something to search something nothing works there [17:58] right? [17:58] nickrud: all dumb [17:58] hi @ all. The free request of cd's is great. I get my Cd'S after 2 Weeks, and not after expected 6-10 weeks. Great [17:58] nickrud: even my go to back page option not working in FF [17:58] did anyone manage to get "wake on lan" to work under ubuntu ? I enabled "Boot on LAN(MAC)" in the bios and used another machine in the network to try to wake it up using wakeonlan, but no success :( the networkcard is still powered on while machine is shut down [17:58] bhavesh, I'm just trying to login in any respect. [17:58] musikgoat: No, you dnt understand me, the monitor says it dosnt hav vid signal [17:58] muzy: YMMV, it took me 4 weeks :-) [17:58] ferronica then I'm not sure what all is wrong with your system [17:59] musikgoat: Same happened with another card [17:59] YMMV? What does this means? [17:59] muzy: Be sure to share copies of your disc with friends! [17:59] !spanish [17:59] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [17:59] muzy: your mileage may vary [17:59] nickrud: i think i have reinstall ubuntu [17:59] ah thanks [17:59] Can anybody explain this to me: ZSNES sound worked perfectly with 7.10. After upgrading to Hardy it didn't work. Yesterday I turned my PC on, ZSNES sound worked perfectly. Today I tried it again... doesn't work. I haven't changed ANY of the settings in between attempts. Is PulseAudio to blame, and how do I make it always work? [17:59] is there a way to change the horrid shutdown dialog in ubuntu? [17:59] nickrud: i used wubi to install it [17:59] and i shurely will will share cd's [17:59] solamente ingles! lol! [17:59] ferronica there's sure to be a fix without that, but it's hard to say. And wubi, echh ;) [17:59] Dickinson: did you read the wview-Quick-Start document and follow those instructions? [18:00] my aim is to change my school from windows to ubuntu (edubuntu) [18:00] any idea why flash playback (youtube) stops after a second after hitting play (using ubuntu hardy here. tried with both flash v9 and v10)? [18:00] nickrud: got 3 times power failure system shuts down [18:00] Drk_Guy: yeah, i understand what you are describing... sorry, i don't know how to troubleshoot that tho [18:00] ferronica I tried installing wubi, but had to keep tracking down mis settings, I eventually gave up [18:00] muzy, there are a ton of people working on that. You can connect with a few that have done it and use them as case studies [18:00] musikgoat: Some say its because of usplash [18:00] okay sparkyy [18:01] Drk_Guy: sounds reasonable [18:01] did anyone manage to get "wake on lan" to work under ubuntu ? I enabled "Boot on LAN(MAC)" in the bios and used another machine in the network to try to wake it up using wakeonlan, but no success :( the networkcard is still powered on while machine is shut down [18:01] would the WEP on a LAN cause SSH not to work? [18:01] I was working on a case. It had to be a case, because I couldn't afford a desk. Then I saw her. This tall blond lady. She must have been tall because I was on the third floor. She rolled her deep blue eyes towards me. I picked them up and rolled them back. We kissed. She screamed. I took the cigarette from my mouth and kissed her again. [18:01] nickolaus: no WEP has no effects on LAN [18:01] muzy: There is a school-specific case study in your ~/Examples folder [18:01] sauvin not really on topic, that [18:01] muzy: I wish we could use linux at school, but we are anchored to .NET and other ms only tools [18:01] nickolaus : try to ping the other machine, if ping comes back then there is no problem with WEP [18:01] nickolaus: WEP on a LAN? you mean WLAN [18:01] muzy, I know some and there are 100's more of examples. If you are not a Canonical partner find a local one that can offer the school commercial support [18:01] nickrud: i think getting this problem after kernel 18 update :( [18:01] musikgoat: Ive just reconfigured it, ill try later, im compiling wine [18:01] nickrud, also, wrong window :D [18:01] nickolaus if you are trying to login with root account, then there may be security setting that disables root login from remote [18:02] thanks to all, i will search for a anonical partner in germany [18:02] eraldo: is the network card integrated into the motherboard? [18:02] sauvin ah, that's a relief to hear :) [18:02] hello. i got some strange problems with ati hd 3200 video card, fglrx driver and my tv card. fglrx driver says "AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual", and tvtime claims "xvoutput: No XVIDEO port found which supports YUY2 images." [18:02] magnetron: yes it is [18:02] muzy, or ask in your LoCo or the mailing lists [18:02] AAAAA [18:02] GOFLF [18:02] bhavesh, how would I go about solving this? [18:02] DJJKRJKK+Ç [18:02] eeOOO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:02] RGRVBFBFB [18:02] but i've another questions, what are the hardware requirements for Ubuntu 8.04 ? [18:02] eeOOO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:03] nickolaus the best way to do it is use another normal user login to get in the machine and do 'su -' to switch user to root [18:03] NM [18:03] that's the best way [18:03] What is the name of the installer of Linux? [18:03] the text based one? [18:03] YES [18:03] one a the momen [18:03] bhavesh, could you give me an example of the term command? [18:03] sparkyy: apparently it's a libgnomeui problem. Reported on the forums by a few people [18:03] is there a channel for hardware problems? [18:03] magnetron: any ideas why it's not working ? [18:03] onu problem [18:03] eeOOO pleas don't use enter as punctuation, what language is good? [18:03] ouu oleee [18:03] DarkAudit, bugs happen. lol. and with all programs... [18:03] nickolaus : how are you trying to login ( what program ) are you using for remote access? [18:04] eraldo: no, i will tell you if i get to think of something. [18:04] DarkAudit, there is no panacea for bugs and no perfect programs.. I wish there were [18:04] =) [18:04] bhavesh, term ssh adam@192.168.#.### [18:04] Hi, just wondering when ubuntu updates does it overwrite the previous packages? As i have noticed the disk usage increasing with every update. And if it doesn't replace older packages how can one remove them once the newer packages are working okay [18:05] Rampage: sudo apt-get autoclean [18:05] i did it already [18:05] but no [18:05] i doesn't work [18:05] sparkyy: there's a fix in the -proposed repo... but someone in the thread suggested updating *everything* coming out of there :p [18:05] nickolaus: theres no use in hiding the IP address, its of no use to anyone on the outside :-D [18:05] Rampage what happens is the downloaded deb is saved in /var/cache/apt/archive , see danbhfive for the proper cleaning method [18:05] nickolaus does adam have an account at other machine? [18:05] Rampage, man apt-get [18:05] please espaniol [18:05] Regarding my slow Gnome menus, I enabled NVIDIA Xinerama, and I am not having any slow menus anymore. Odd.

If you need help in spanish do this: /join #ubuntu-es [18:10] Okay, just wondering like when it does a kernel upgrade it keeps both kernels on the system, does it do that with all packages? [18:10] Rampage: no [18:10] loulouloulou: you may find the answer quicker in #mysql [18:11] jrib: thanks :) [18:11] nickolaus 1. ssh adam@192.168.0.2 2. type in adam's password when you see password prompt 3. at adam@host prompt type in 'su -' at password prompt enter root password [18:11] ohh ok ok Mr Edonkey [18:11] Rampage: notice that with the kernels, you get a whole new package [18:11] Hmm, I am looking for HARDWARE based SATA RAID for an *buntu system. I remember seeing a SATA RAID hardware solution that mounts in a tower's drive bays and connects a 3 drive array to a single SATA connection. Shows up to the OS as a single drive. I can't seem to find the web site now. Anyone know what I am talking about? [18:12] !fakeraid [18:12] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [18:12] m-c, already been there, no joy. Thanks. [18:12] did anyone manage to get "wake on lan" to work under ubuntu ? I enabled "Boot on LAN(MAC)" in the bios and used another machine in the network to try to wake it up using wakeonlan, but no success :( the onboard networkcard is still powered on while machine is shut down [18:12] i just lost the upper bar in firefox , i cant se the min and max and close icons [18:12] eracc: your SATA RAID will find no joy [18:12] m-c, I am looking for a specific product that I saw a few months back. [18:12] m-c, hee hee. :) [18:13] nickolaus did that help? [18:13] eracc, you can look for supported raid controllers... Many are conventional ones built for winbolz will not work on Ubuntu [18:13] icecubex132Q8: jus on firefox or all windows [18:13] ? [18:13] eracc, or you can build software raid [18:13] newk: only firefox [18:13] ok now is downloading [18:13] the package [18:13] i put the key [18:13] to update it [18:13] i am trying to build software raid as we speak.. and when i setup two drives for Raid 1, kernel won't boot with panic [18:14] if i remove the drives, the kernel boots just fine [18:14] eracc: motherboard SATA RAIDs require proprietary windows drivers, and none are supported in the kernel, afaik. Everyone is doing software RAIDs, as the links I provided indicate. [18:14] wow ubuntu is the best of the best [18:14] sparkyy, yep, I know. The specification is for hardware based RAID only though. I suppose I will just get a hardware based Adaptec controller. [18:14] thanks man [18:14] where can I get a .deb of vlc 0.8.6h? [18:14] Bhavesh: Are you also trying to boot to those drives? [18:14] u are the best [18:14] bhavesh, nope. [18:15] m-c, I am not looking for RAID on a motherboard. That usually sucks. ;) [18:15] m-c: nope there is is a seperate independent drive that i have installed ubuntu-server on [18:15] [Q] Im trying to get my shares from windows boxes to show up in places->network *i have samba installed* [18:15] nickolaus where did things go wrong? [18:15] any help please [18:15] do u know how to hack [18:15] a remote pc [18:15] eracc: Okay, you should be all set. There are a lot of HW RAID card vendors that specifically support the linux kernel [18:15] using [18:15] ubuntu [18:15] ?? [18:15] ghostcracker: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [18:16] pinkypinky: have you tried getdeb.net [18:16] no musikgoat, I'll check [18:16] bhavesh, permission denied, please try password: [18:16] m-c, I am looking for REAL hardware RAID and remember seeing a "box" solution that I wanted to look over again. Just going to go get an Adaptec I guess. [18:16] bhavesh, same as before [18:16] icecubex132q8, are u using compiz? [18:16] newk: yes [18:16] nickolaus wat what point did u get permission denied? [18:16] bhavesh, or it hangs without offing a new prompt. [18:17] bhavesh, after I entered password [18:17] eracc: I would recommend checking that the vendor officially supports linux, in any case. Your data will depend on it. [18:17] http://www.ubuntu.com [18:17] lol [18:17] m-c, Adaptec does support Linux. Quite well actually. [18:17] nickolaus so when you do ssh adam@192.x.x.x and you get password prompt? [18:17] ghostcracker: that discussion isn't welcomed here [18:17] bhavesh, yes [18:17] icecubex, try metacity --replace in the command line [18:17] nickolaus and which password are you typing in? [18:18] pinkypinky: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=575 [18:18] bhavesh, I have been trying to go from his computer to mine and I use ssh all the damn time and it's still saying the same thing. [18:18] ok sorry man [18:18] icecubex, and then enter compiz in the command line again [18:18] i was just jocking [18:18] bhavesh, both root and su- [18:18] nickolaus but when you are typing ssh adam@192.x.x.x.x that means it is trying to log you in as adam [18:19] that repo is outdated === duck_ is now known as RockerMONO [18:19] nickolaus and that is why i ask you, if the user 'adam' has an account on 192.x.x.x computer? [18:19] bhavesh, yeah, I am using his password. [18:19] getdeb haven't it :/ [18:19] newk: ok got it back thanks [18:19] icecubex132Q8, did it work yeah ? [18:19] can i install to a usb drive using the normal installer on the livecd? [18:20] !install > RockerMONO (read the private message from ubottu) [18:20] so let's try step by step and see where things are going wrong [18:20] newk: ya it did [18:20] did anyone manage to get "wake on lan" to work under ubuntu ? I enabled "Boot on LAN(MAC)" in the bios and used another machine in the network to try to wake it up using wakeonlan, but no success :( the onboard networkcard is still powered on while machine is shut down [18:20] icecubex132q8_, good goo [18:20] thanks jrib [18:20] [Q] Im trying to get my shares from windows boxes to show up in places->network, but it finds nothing *i have samba installed* [18:20] newk: thanks mate [18:20] bhavesh, I am trying to login to his account on his computer with his pass and login. [18:21] nickolaus: 1. ssh -l adam 192.x.x.x.x [18:21] icecube, no prob had similar problems:L:L [18:21] nickolaus let's go through this one step at a time and see if we can figure out the problem [18:22] pinkypinky: looks like you may have to build it then [18:22] yea I get error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL" [18:22] :/ [18:22] bhavesh, I just got ssh: l-: name of service not known. [18:23] nickolaus it's 'ssh space -l space adam space 192.168.0.x [18:23] hi, can i install ubuntu on a desktop with 350MHz with 132MG? [18:24] okay, it worked. [18:24] markelhas: xubuntu will me more suited to that spec rather than ubuntu [18:24] nickolaus good.. wht part worked? all of it just the login part ? [18:24] markelhas: so download the iso from www.xubuntu.com [18:24] pinkypinky: sounds like your missing required libraries... sorry I don't know more [18:25] markelhas: Then burn it to disk and boot from there and install [18:25] :/ [18:25] Rampage: but is it with xubuntu it will work? [18:25] k thx anyway [18:25] bhavesh, I just got ssh -l nickolaus@192.168.1.101 [18:25] good [18:25] Rampage: the pc doesn't have usb mouse and keyboard. only old stuff [18:26] This is my first time using ubuntu. I want to download the linux version of the game here: http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n_downloads.html [18:26] and then play it. [18:26] but I can't figure out how to do that on my own. [18:26] bhavesh, I just got ssh -l nickolaus@192.168.1.101 seemed to just toss up alot of usage information. [18:26] that's fine.. did you get password prompt? [18:27] markelhas: it doesn't need a usb mouse or keyboard, even if it is ps2 it should work [18:27] [Q] Im trying to get my shares from windows boxes to show up in places->network, but it finds nothing *i have samba installed* [18:27] bhavesh, no [18:29] any samba experts in the house? I've got a problem where I can browse and read files in the smb share, but when I go to write to the share, Ubuntu creates an empty file then times out. I can't figure out what's causing this... [18:29] bhavesh, sorry I'm a moron, it asked me and I entered the correct pass but it just seems to be hanging. [18:29] hello [18:30] nickolaus that is ok.. what is the last line in that message? [18:30] bhavesh, it seems to do it regardless of which computer I'm using or which direction it's going. [18:30] Problem: rt73 wireless chipset not picking up any AP's. PLEASE PM if you can help. Thank you! [18:30] nickolaus sometimes the machine hangs while keys are getting exchanged, and if the computer is slow/old [18:31] does anyone know the command to set up a boot image of a new kernel?

Specifically with Intel cards. Mine apparently tanked recently. [18:39] behavesh.... what is the problem? does the wirelless not show up in network manager?

The previous build worked just fine, but for some reason, this one crashes anytime we come out of hibernate [18:56] I've created a nautlus script and put it in the scripts folder, but it is not showing up.

[18:58] nickrud: hehe no worries - actually my husband is the one who knows the most about it - I'm playing middlegirl [18:59] i have a file i want to use as a startup sound but its not playing when i test it [18:59] hey can someone help me change the server for upgrades in ubunutu? ca.archive.ubuntu.com doesnt have them [18:59] what exact command are you using from the second computer then anonymouss ?

For you, I don't even know the exact version that worked, and the one that doesn't :) [19:01] anonymouss: okay do "nmap -A " where host is the ip of your server [19:01] i have a file i want to use as a startup sound but its not playing when i test it [19:01] Rampage: installing nmap... [19:01] anonymouss: okay do "nmap -A -p 22" where host is the ip of your server if you want more specific [19:01] hey guys, I need help, I've posted in the forums with no luck, was hoping someone here may be able to help me. Heres a link to the forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=807607 [19:02] Pretty much, I'm trying to get a capture card working with ubuntu so I can transfer my old tapes to DVD [19:02] nickrud: ok, well I can tell you which one doesn't :) it's version 8.04 (hardy) kernel linux 2.6.24-18-generic, gnome 2.22.2 [19:02] Rampage: it is open is seems [19:02] Bhavesh, are you being helped,, just got back [19:02] anonymouss: does it pick up the application as openssh-server? [19:02] Rampage: i'm afraid that doing nmap without -p 22 will cause firewall to shut me out [19:03] hey remu couldnt u just use xp in qemu, and samba share your drive to copy [19:03] SportChick have you tried running the 2.6.24-17-generic on boot? If it works, make that the default until you identify the real problem [19:03] it picks up as 22/tcp filtered ssh [19:03] nickrud: great idea..not sure how to do it though :) [19:03] have you changed your firewall settings anonymouss ? [19:04] nilpat10...please explain. I tried doing it through VirtualBox in XP, but I couldn't get the USB ports to function just right. Doing it through qemu...would that be any slower than normal?

[19:04] anonymouss: check that to make sure the ports are forwarded fine [19:05] hardy comes with the default iptables firewall [19:05] SportChick when you boot, you'll see something about grub, hit escape when you see it. Then arrow down in the menu to -17 , and test it. If it works, you would edit the line default 0 to default 2 [19:05] Rampage: is it ufw? [19:05] hi all [19:05] anonymouss: what? ubuntu comes with iptables.. which is default firewall [19:05] Ok so my wireless networking just quit spontaneously. One day it worked, then it didn't. I don't know that I did any updates that I can blame. The card can see the accesspoint but just infinitely tries to connect without success. Any ideas? [19:05] and ufw i think [19:05] SportChick in /boot/grub/menu.lst , that is [19:05] nilpat10, whats the difference between qemu and kqemu? I'm sorry, I've never heard of these programs before [19:05] how to i go to other groups? [19:05] nickrud: ty - trying that now [19:05] anonymouss: then you can get a GUI for iptables or UFW as an iptable replacer [19:05] personally i prefer iptables anonymouss, but check that ufw is not blocking ssh [19:05] not sure about usb ports [19:05] its a -usb switch though.. [19:06] pardon? [19:06] the capture devices I have are USB based [19:06] qemu is ike virtual box, and kqemu is used to sped it up [19:07] nickrud: there isn't a -17 listed. there's -18 and -16 [19:07] nickrud: should we just try -16? [19:07] wow, you missed that one then. Try -16 [19:07] oh okay [19:07] remu & nilpat10, however kqemu requires that you cpu supports hardware acceleration [19:08] *your [19:08] alright there are like a million guides to installing qemu [19:08] so follow them [19:08] !qemu [19:08] qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [19:08] and ufw is purged now :) [19:08] Rampage: I set ufw to not block 22, and it worked [19:08] then when booting just add -usb to the end [19:08] is there a svn package on ubuntu?

[19:24] SportChick not sure why it would choose not to bring up the old one, not that up on hibernation.

[20:17] oops sorry [20:17] K^Holtz: its usually ~/.mozilla [20:17] Myrtti: I'm more fond of the command line approach, so if you have something I can check - I won't have a problem as long as I can use the command line to check :) [20:17] AlexCONRAD: you can't, in fact. [20:17] nand: ok [20:17] well, as far as I know. [20:17] hey! How would I change the gtk theme on a single app? [20:17] soldats: do i have to replace ~ with something? because it told me thats not a directory [20:17] #xubuntu [20:17] cpio -i < /your/initrd [20:17] AlexCONRAD--> is it still in the iso or you have already expanded the iso? [20:18] arcade: check that "update-manager-core" is installed [20:18] Myrtti: it is. [20:18] K^Holtz, it lies,.try replacing with /home/ [20:18] K^Holtz: ~ is your home directory [20:18] amenado: it's actually directly from the CD [20:18] Myrtti: ii update-manager 0.56~dapper5 manage release upgrades [20:18] Dachha--> paste it in pastebin, not dcc to me the file, so others can see it too [20:18] K^Holtz: yes as Bodsda said /home/username/.mozilla [20:18] arcade: and the output of "sudo do-release-upgrade" is...? (use pastebin if a >3 lines) [20:19] HardDisk: Starnestommy thanks mates... I got it... [20:19] cheers [20:19] np [20:19] amenado: so I copied the /cdrom/install/initrd.gz to my home dir [20:19] Myrtti: Checking for a new ubuntu release [20:19] No new release found [20:19] sorry for the repeat: has anyone had any issues tv out not detected by Hardy (nvidia)? [20:19] AlexCONRAD--> then mount the cd iso and then you can then gzip and cpio [20:19] amenado: thanks [20:19] arcade, not sure what your problem is, but make sure the repositories are up, the canadian repositories are down right now, maybe others are too? [20:19] it was working with gutsy [20:19] amenado2 - What is pastebin? [20:20] HardDisk you might have to modify your /etc/xorg.conf to get dual monitor working [20:20] Meshezabeel: I'm using "no.archive.ubuntu.com" [20:20] Dachha: sudo apt-get install pastebinit [20:20] sudobash, I understand that, but why would it break in hardy? [20:20] soldats: still saying its not valid [20:20] k [20:20] did you dist-upgrade? [20:20] or clean install? [20:20] no [20:20] sudobash, clean install [20:20] as always :) [20:20] AlexCONRAD--> since you have it in your home dir, you can gzip -dc initrd.gz | cpio -d [20:20] K^Holtz: thats odd [20:20] soldats: should it be /home/kenny/.mozilla/firefox? [20:21] AlexCONRAD--> since you have it in your home dir, you can gzip -dc initrd.gz | cpio -id <-- missed the i [20:21] K^Holtz, try it [20:21] sudobash, I will def check the xorg, I was just wondering if it's a bug, couldn't find it on the forums [20:21] just /home/kenny/.mozilla [20:21] amenado2: ok [20:21] anyone know an easy way to print a large picture as a 4x6 inch picture on a particular corner of a paper? It would also be nice to be able to print out multiple pictures at once on different spots on the sheet... just not sure if there's a program out there for it [20:21] how do you install everything you need for kde4? [20:21] overridex, you can insert the picture into OpenOffice then resize and move about i think [20:22] !kde4 > dfgas (read the private message from ubottu) [20:22] dfgas: you shouldn't have to [20:22] Meshezabeel: mirror is up, just checked manually [20:22] overridex, there was an app called TurboPrint [20:22] hey! How would I change the gtk theme on a single app? [20:22] dfgas, the dependencies should beinstalled by the kde4 desktop package i believe [20:22] arcade, ok, just thought I'd mention it, but I guess it is not your problem [20:22] ak5, what app? [20:22] What do you guys think is the best distribution to learn from ? Learn like, configuration, about packages, network admin etc... ubuntu seens so easy, i believe im not going to learn anything from it... [20:22] ak5 - Allready installed how do you use it or rather where is it located [20:22] ak5, depending on the app [20:22] ak5, in the applications settings menu probably [20:22] HardDisk: firefox [20:23] soldats, Bodsda: still no go [20:23] ak5, firefox then its in addons [20:23] eth01: i want gnome and kde4 [20:23] Paulao--> oh you will [20:23] Meshezabeel: What should sources.list contain, for a proper nice little dapper release? In case there is something wrong there.. [20:23] ak5, tools/addons/themes [20:23] HardDisk: really? I thought it just uses my gtk theme [20:23] eth01: with fedora you can do a group install of kde4 [20:23] K^Holtz, why arent you installing flash from the repo's? [20:23] K^Holtz: it could be /usr/share/mozilla but im really not sure since i cant see the folders you have [20:23] ak5, you can change it [20:23] ok, thx a lot [20:23] np [20:23] If I want to compile a new module and put it on the ubuntu CDrom so it's installed automaticly on the target computer, how can I do that ?

[20:24] AlexCONRAD, learn to bash [20:24] Bodsda: i was told i had to install flash, from the website is the only way i thought of doing it [20:24] arcade, sorry, I dunno, I am using hardy atm [20:24] Anyone know where I can find a deb package for the latest PokerTH? [20:24] Dachha, pastebin.com or .ca and paste in the box then click apply/ok/whatever [20:24] AlexCONRAD--> you are re-installing? having it on a cdrom does not just get it installed [20:24] Bodsda: im gonna cancel now, what packages do i install from Synaptic? [20:24] kunt, can't blame you [20:24] K^Holtz: the flash from the repos works now look for ubuntu-restricted-extras [20:25] K^Holtz, do a synaptic search for 'flash' then find the package called 'flashnonfree' or somethinglike that [20:25] lol [20:25] overridex, the best program I've used is called qimage, and will work with wine. It is not free, but if you do a lot of photo developing it sure can come in handy. [20:25] amenado2: I'm remastering the xubuntu CD to customize and preseed my installations on multiple PCs [20:25] K^Holtz: or flashplugin-nonfree === kat is now known as Guest59212 [20:26] AlexCONRAD--> okay [20:26] can i have different background images in each workspace [20:26] amenado2: but the network driver from the distro is wrong, so I'd like to compile the right one (from the manufacturer's site) and put it in the CD so my PCs will have a working network card without having to patch each PC [20:26] sudobash, sorry didn't see your pm check. [20:26] Where can i change the settings for my screen? not the resolution but to choose with monitor i use and so forth? [20:27] julle_--> same place, xorg.conf [20:27] julle_, what videocard? [20:27] if you're on nvidia, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [20:27] amenado2 - I have pasted into Pastebin now how can you view it? [20:27] then sudo nvidia-settings [20:27] Bodsda: says i have that installed actually, is there just a selection for a mozilla plugin?

[21:32] Bhavesh: ahhh fake raid mirroring - I don't advise it [21:33] Bhavesh: the support for fake raid is very poor in general [21:33] hi [21:33] ikonia but when i reboot without the drive it works fine.. [21:33] wasup, in a terminal type lspci and then lspci -n [21:33] ikonia so better to leave that alone and use software raid .. much better? [21:33] wasup, the numbers should tell you which driver to download [21:33] Bhavesh: MUCH better than fake raid [21:33] hacknslash, okay thanks I'll try that [21:33] donde entro en español [21:33] wasabi, yw [21:33] !es | NEPXANDER [21:34] NEPXANDER: Aquí solamente hablamos inglés.

[21:35] ikonia in that case i will let that go and learn how to setup software raid [21:35] i have a macbook with linux on it (it takes the whole drive), and with an encrypted drive with pre-boot authentication. Is it possible to shrink it a little bit to make room to install OSX aside, while keeping the ability to boot both, and not breaking the encryption thing? [21:35] where i can get full ubuntu source code ready to compile like debian has packs (size is several gygabytes) [21:35] Bhavesh: that (in my view) will serve you better [21:35] How do I "enable hardy-proposed" and install the new kernel?

[21:46] BorkisDrizzt: here's the thing: compiz must be started with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT for it to work with AIGLX, and when you start a terminal via compiz (using that shortcut) it inherits compiz's environment [21:46] wasup, yeah i have msn, just give me a sec [21:46] <_empemp_> error: dependency is not satisfiable libsqlite3-0 [21:46] m_newton: the only difference between normal and extra is that extra has a few more plugins loaded [21:46] <_empemp_> what does this mean?

At first I was running off a LiveCD, and everything worked fine, so I did the install. No problems there. Then I went to update, and it updated me to 'Hearty Heron' or something like that.

I've heard of some woes with flash and codecs, but have most of them been reasonably resolved?

[22:00] soundray: would you recommend the 64 bit one? [22:00] ok [22:00] what is qt 4 [22:00] thnx [22:00] markelhas: sorry i misread its 614mb lol, still lighter than xubuntu [22:00] m_newton: version 4 of the Qt widget toolkit [22:00] ok [22:00] m_newton: kde 4 uses it for widgets [22:00] prodigel: please don't refer to old posts. Repeat if you haven't received a reply (leave 10 minutes or so) [22:00] guys why you always do tar xzf filename.tar.gz instead of extract (right-click)? is it too lame?

I've tried to modify /etc/modprobe.d/options and add one line like i've read in a forum but this not work. Sorry but i am spanish. [22:03] soundray: i can type faster than minimize terminal and other windows, browse to the .tar.gz, right click, use the GUI app to extract [22:03] soundray: and the core2duos use the same architecture as the amd processors (or at least slightly compatible ones?)(and I'm only a burgeoning geek, not quite as l33t hax0r as most) [22:03] scifiguy951: extract, cd to folder, ./configure, make, make install.... [22:04] soundray: the fact that grub looks like a piece of crap [22:04] Hi all! [22:04] archman: it's not that easy, please don't push that [22:04] buntu0: are you sure you should be saying this to me? [22:04] ikonia: for hydra?

The third is always behind on kernel version, currently at only 2.6.24.11. I've tried changing sources.list file several times, with no success. What could be the cause for this? [22:04] archman: for any software [22:04] ikonia: its that easy... [22:05] ikonia: why its not? [22:05] hotmonkeyluv: the ambition qualifies you :) Yes, Intels new 64 bit architecture, called em64t, is modelled after amd64 and is fully compatible [22:05] okay here is the errors I'm getting while trying to compile the modified driver for rtl8187b - http://pastebin.com/m67ae9a24 ... I'm following this walkthrough for installing my wireless drivers: http://danmarner.blogspot.com/2008/01/rtl8187b-linux-native-driver-works-on.html [22:05] BobCFC: right! [22:05] marqus: if you're more comfortable with spanish, try #ubuntu-es [22:05] !es [22:05] Aquí solamente hablamos inglés. Para Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es - allí obtendrá más ayuda. [22:05] soundray: thanks! [22:05] hotmonkeyluv: there is an old 64bit architecutre, used in the Itanium line of processors, which is not compatible. [22:05] archman: well, just blindly installing software with the default options, default path, etc etc isn't something I'd push onto someone who has no idea what they are doing [22:05] Do i have to remove the normal grub to make gfx boot work?

[22:06] soundray: is the itanium line similar to the xeon, or are they different? [22:06] i am new to linux migrating from windows. does anyone have a suggestion or two for me? [22:06] hotmonkeyluv: very different. [22:06] is it possible to search in a folder that has like 30 text files in it.

[22:07] Dachha: looks like you need the kenerl dev package [22:07] Cybergasm: read the docus on ubuntu.com to get an intro [22:07] hotmonkeyluv: Xeon is just a marketing term -- some Xeons are identical to CPUs marketed as Core 2 Extreme [22:07] pwnt: ./ will do it in the current directory, but feel free to do the full path [22:07] archman: no, your meant to help and guide him [22:07] alex_mayorga: I know someone who has had good results from kpilot and a Treo 650 [22:07] ikonia: i know iand i want to [22:07] soundray: sounds like the marketing people got to big for thier boots [22:07] hotmonkeyluv: we're going offtopic.

This is a channel in english, i know it.

[22:09] help! I can't get past the irqpoll stage of the boot, what do i do? [22:09] Whats hte command to delete a directory "sudo rm /home/tyler/...." wont work [22:09] tyler_: use rm -r [22:09] tyler_: rm -r [22:09] hello everyone. i just bought a nice new AMD 64 laptop with an atheros ar242x wiresless network card. i have been searching on google for a guide to get it working but everything seems to be geared towards the atheros AR5007 ... can anyone please help me out? [22:09] kk thx [22:09] archman: I'm not going to argue this with you, just consider what your offering up blindly to new users [22:09] -r is recursive, which deletes a directory and anything in it [22:09] is Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 1.7 outdated. i know there is a 1.8 out and there are more Ubuntu operating systems like 8.02 but is there anything that would be unefficient about keeping ultimate edition 1.7? [22:09] Cybergasm: ubuntu ultimate is nothing to do with ubuntu [22:10] tyler_: generally, you find this kind of info in the man page: 'man rm' [22:10] scifiguy951: i can help you to get this basic installation if u want [22:10] Cybergasm: a 3rd party group that are nothing to do with ubuntu package and maintain it [22:10] marqus: type "/join #ubuntu-es" no quotes and you should connect [22:10] ikonia: oh.... really? [22:10] Cybergasm: yes [22:10] Cybergasm: hence why there is no info on ubuntu.com [22:10] i apologize for the off-topic question [22:10] ok thanks very much [22:10] ikonia: ok [22:10] Cybergasm: it wasn't intentional clearly [22:10] let's try this again [22:10] NONSENSE! BAN HIM!!!! [22:10] j/k... [22:11] rebooting.. i have rebooted more time in past 3 days then past 4 years [22:11] J-Pilot is a bit broken [22:11] and it won't go past the card bios [22:11] I thought Palms would work better in Ubuntu :( [22:11] how do I try booting with the irqpoll option? [22:11] ikonia: It's just that Ultimate Edition looks so good without having to do any of the customization myself. that's the main reason i got it. [22:11] alex_mayorga: that used to be the case, but the new palm os is not as open [22:11] what would happen if you went into terminal and typed "sudo rm -rf /"? [22:12] how do i install a theme for screenlets? [22:12] can someone tell me how to get this windows in xmms that open, ie for 'open directory' enlarged? can i do it in some script? [22:12] luca662: your whole file system would be removed [22:12] luca662: never do that, [22:12] alex_mayorga: they are a bit difficult, but ultimately, you'll manage to make it work if you stick to the gnome tools. [22:12] ikonia: brb typing that in [22:12] Cybergasm: well, you woulnd't get any help/support from official ubuntu resources [22:12] luca662: stupidity on your part is what would happen [22:12] plz need help with NETWORK UNCLAIMED device atheros........................ [22:12] whats needed to have sound on a minimalistic system (but with gnome and so on, just not standard) [22:12] hello everyone. i just bought a nice new AMD 64 laptop with an atheros ar242x wiresless network card. i have been searching on google for a guide to get it working but everything seems to be geared towards the atheros AR5007 ... can anyone please help me out? [22:12] luca622: stuff starts to go badly wrong with your sys, but its fun to do for learning [22:12] alex_mayorga: one problem is that the /dev/ addresses tend to change. Observer the output of 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' while you connect your Palm. [22:12] Would it crash or would it survive in my ram? [22:13] luca622, for a little while you'd be ok [22:13] luca662: the OS can run without its filesystem for a time [22:13] thats disappointing that ubuntu 8.04 even failed tu install on my box ! strange! [22:13] luca662: you'd be running in rma [22:13] ram [22:13] ikonia: you do have a good point. then again there is google...hm. what are the advatages besides help/support in using regular Ubuntu? [22:13] jahshuaaa-: is that a aspire laptop ? [22:13] hp [22:13] luca662, the running programs will survive but all your files will be deleted [22:13] Aslanix: how? [22:13] Cybergasm: errrr its supported and maintained [22:13] Bhavesh, i had an odd happening when messing with wireless settings,,, would not reboot. locked on the POST with 5a, but if i shut allthe way down and cold booted, no probs [22:13] I just need to install a couple of prc for my wife [22:13] plz need help with NETWORK UNCLAIMED device atheros........................

[22:14] luca662: not really the best thing to do to a computer and OS that you want to keep [22:14] How do I stop X to install the new NVIDIA drivers? [22:14] Cybergasm: it certainly is [22:14] absnt: why video card do you have ? [22:14] absnt: not necessary. Go through System-Admin-Hardware Drivers, then reboot [22:14] ikonia i run lshw and shows network unclaimed in my atheros wifi [22:14] soundray: cause when i'm trying to install ubuntu 8.04 , after the ubuntu splash screen it displays a black screen whth a command prompt : initramfs and everything stops [22:14] ikonia: 8800gt [22:14] utzxubiru: thats not a problem [22:14] it is [22:14] My External HDD is failing to mount. if a force a mount, will that erase data on my HDD? [22:14] josspyker - Yes [22:14] soundray: when installing the drivers from nvidia.com it requires me to not be running a xserver [22:15] ikonia: does Ubuntu have compiz fusion? (i believe thats what it is) [22:15] absnt: Hmmmm, I'm not sure on that's compatability with the nvidia-glx-new package [22:15] Cybergasm: yes it does [22:15] mDemocritus - I don't know how to do that [22:15] Aslanix: is that after you install, or when you boot the live cd [22:15] utzxubiru: why don't you explain why your having a problem [22:15] absnt: you shouldn't install those if you can at all avoid it [22:15] ikonia: my friend told me to make sure i have it...what exactly is it? [22:15] everything was working b4 and didnt show netowk unclaimed but now it does recognize the card [22:15] mdemocritus: its when i try to install from the live cd [22:15] Dachha: don't know how to do what? i'm kinda lost sorry :D [22:15] absnt: the drivers on Nvidia's site aren't really any better than the current in the ubuntu repo's [22:15] i have because i try to install another card and messed up [22:16] utzxubiru: well, just step back for a second, [22:16] mDemocritus - output for echo $CFLAGS [22:16] Aslanix: sometimes it helps in these situations to try out boot options like noapic and nolapic. Factoid coming... [22:16] Aslanix: after the install completes, you reboot and take out the cd, then it does that? [22:16] can anyone explain to me what exactly "Compiz Fusion" is? [22:16] !bootoptions | Aslanix [22:16] Aslanix: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [22:16] !compiz [22:16] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [22:16] !compiz | Cybergasm [22:16] Cybergasm: please see above [22:16] utzxubiru: what card did you have, and what did you do to cause the issue [22:16] Dachha: what does it tell you if you go into a terminal and type "echo $CFLAGS" without quotes? [22:16] !fusion [22:17] Cybergasm: compiz + beryl = compiz fusion [22:17] ubottu: thank you [22:17] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [22:17] anyone? :( [22:17] I am running 8.04; was playing around with fluxbox - I keep getting cannot connect to XServer - and when I run xinit I get a symbolic link error [22:17] hello everyone. i just bought a nice new AMD 64 laptop with an atheros ar242x wiresless network card. i have been searching on google for a guide to get it working but everything seems to be geared towards the atheros AR5007 ... can anyone please help me out? [22:17] thanks for all the answers, I'm going to play around with it now. [22:17] what does it mean in boot when it says "irq 19: nobody cared" [22:17] i have an atheros ar5007 and to install another wifi card (which doenst work also) i had to blacklist the native one but now i removed from blaclist and still doesnt work (im not sure if blacklist was the problem) [22:17] ubttu: tnax man, it's about 6 hours now that i'm searching through the net for the solution with no results [22:18] Jashuaaa try setting a static IP for the wireless nic and see if that makes a difference. === narg_ is now known as narg [22:18] tushyd: is that a typo? [22:18] Is there a PDF viewer that scrolls automatically? (ex, one line every 3 seconds) so that I don't have to use the mouse/keyboard to do it myself? [22:18] mdemocritus: it doesn not install in any way! it even wont go to the instalation process [22:18] mDemocritus - Nothing at all [22:18] mDemocritus: no. [22:18] hello to all [22:18] Techiedragon: did you enter xinit in a virtual console? [22:18] soundray: i would try that [22:18] Dachha: sorry... hit enter after typing that in [22:18] bonsoir tlm [22:18] mDemocritus: still nothing? [22:18] Aslanix: ...but? [22:18] Dachha: still nothing? [22:18] mDemocritus: "irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option" [22:19] mDemocritus talking to yourself again? :-) [22:19] how do i change the graphics driver to use in hardy? there doesnt seem to be a graphics menu item unlike before. [22:19] I am in a ssh session to my linix box; but it is not a virtual machine [22:19] mDemocritus - No I meant nothing is printed on the screen back to prompt [22:19] musikgoat: go to heck :D [22:19] is there anyway to rename all the files that i have in a folder or i have to do rename for each of them. i have the files starting with "dsc" and i want to rename them all together in on time [22:19] Dachha: ok... nevermind then [22:19] i have an atheros ar5007 and to install another wifi card (which doenst work also) i had to blacklist the native one but now i removed from blaclist and still doesnt work (im not sure if blacklist was the problem) [22:19] Dachha: did you install the kernel source package? [22:19] snake_: there are tools like mmv and rename [22:19] snake_: rename "s/dsc/Picture/" * if i recall correctly [22:19] soundray: but i think there might be some hardware confliction, my hard is SATA, could be the source of problem?! [22:19] Techiedragon: i cant even detect a wireless network. [22:20] my atheros is not set up yet. [22:20] error >> X: cannot read /etc/X11/X symbolic link [22:20] mDemocritus - How do you install the kernel source package? [22:20] Aslanix: that's very unlikely [22:20] yo, are there any good programs to stream internet videos that actually allow you to skip? movie player works but when i try to skip i have to start at the beginning, mplayer is rubbish, any ideas? [22:21] I've installed hardy on an md0, but booting fails with: /dev/md0 does not exists. [22:21] soundray: i used : all_generic_ide code, and then i saw that it fails to install something like this: ata2.01 exception mask ... [22:21] I'm working with kernels, and I've hit an error I've never got before. when i 'make xconfig' i get "/usr/include/wchar.h:345: error: ‘__extern_inline’ does not name a type" [22:21] but it does: http://home.mnet-online.de/bits/vm1.jpg [22:21] Ok - jahshuaaa- I had to go into my interfaces file and add the wlan0 auto line and then a second line to staticly define the IP and gateway [22:21] I just converted from XP to Ubuntu. At first I was running off a LiveCD, and everything worked fine, so I did the install. No problems there. Then I went to update, and it updated me to 'Hearty Heron' or something like that. Ever since that update, I have been unable to connect to my local network. Trying DHCP just nets me a private IP, and static IPs won't even let me ping my router. Any ideas? [22:21] how do i change the graphics driver to use in hardy? there doesnt seem to be a graphics menu item any more unlike before. [22:21] for my wireless to work on mine [22:21] Aslanix: ok... when does the problem happen? as you boot the livecd, after you click install, or after you reboot again? [22:21] anyone knows what's going on? [22:22] Aslanix: that doesn't mean much to me, sorry [22:22] i have an atheros ar5007 and to install another wifi card (which doenst work also) i had to blacklist the native one but now i removed from blaclist and still doesnt work (im not sure if blacklist was the problem) [22:22] mdemocritus: when i click the install then everything goes wrong [22:22] Can anybody help me? I'm having odd interface problems regarding my ubuntu desktop and am puzzled as to where to start troubleshooting [22:22] a) my icons aren't showing up. b) I can't right-click on the desktop to bring up any menus. c) My background image is not the one I have chosen in interface preferences [22:22] Who comes up with the names for ubuntu? [22:22] soundray: any way thank for ur help and consideration man :) [22:22] I've tried switching window managers back and forth between compiz and metacity; metacity displays the correct background image, but the other issues remain [22:22] so ubuntu hangs during boot and says stuff about booting with irqpoll. the fedora live disc also says that but can get past it... what do I do? [22:22] mDemocritus: How do you install the kernel source package? [22:23] do I have to run it in a virtual terminal? [22:23] Aslanix: that's the 'Install Ubuntu' option at boot time, correct? [22:23] chris_goe, Any reason why you are using specifying a device node rather than a UUID ? [22:23] !kernel [22:23] 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 [22:23] Aslanix: you never actually manage to boot a kernal ( mDemocritus) [22:23] Jordan_U: the menu.list has been generated by ubuntu installer, not me :) [22:23] soundray : yes, correct [22:24] soundray : absolutely right [22:24] mdemocritus: i used : all_generic_ide code, and then i saw that it fails to install something like this: ata2.01 exception mask [22:24] Dachha: sudo apt-get source linux-source linux-image-$(uname -r) [22:24] so, I should boot with root=UUID.... ? [22:24] snake_ > regexp [22:24] Aslanix: are you using the alternate cd? [22:24] anyone know how to fix an irqpoll problem during boot. [22:24] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=783577 [22:25] I found that very helpful in building my sources.list file [22:25] #ubuntu-it [22:25] mdemocritus: no, this is the cd that ubuntu shipped to my address, i think this must be the live one [22:25] Jordan_U: root=/dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-... ,hm...will try that. [22:25] strange though, that the installer did not do that... [22:26] I have trouble playing dvd in hardy - can't install win32codecs nor libdvdcss2 - is that where the problems are [22:26] im having problems with my display. basically my laptop (main) monitor wont turn on unless the video out is connected to an external monitor. is it something wrong with my graphics card drivers or the screen settings? [22:26] mDemocritus: k downloading now. Thanks [22:27] little question, how do i check for damaged rar files? [22:27] tushyd: what kind of "problem"? [22:27] chris_goe, The standard syntax ( and the way that the Ubuntu installer generally does it, not sure why it didn't for you ) is root=UUID= [22:27] mib_ll610n, have you done any changes in bios? [22:27] Dachha: that should install the kernel source, then you can try compiling your module again [22:27] polletpoulet: open the rar file in file-roller [22:28] but in command line? [22:28] polletpoulet: and click archive menu -> test integrity [22:28] !dvd [22:28] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [22:28] annkas: no i haven [22:28] polletpoulet: man unrar :-) [22:28] Aslanix: you said it "displays a black screen with a command prompt : initramfs and everything stops". when does this happen: before, during, or after the install [22:28] ^ [22:29] mib_ll610n: it would even freeze if i didnt have an external monitor [22:29] annkas: i mean, it would even freeze if i didnt have an external monitor [22:29] chris_goe: when I try booting it hangs and says "irq 19: nobody cared" [22:30] polletpoulet: simply enough t is the switch [22:30] chris_goe: and try booting with the irqpoll option. but i don't know how to enable that [22:30] I'm working with kernels, and I've hit an error I've never got before. when i 'make xconfig' i get "/usr/include/wchar.h:345: error: ‘__extern_inline’ does not name a type" [22:30] I have some issues with linux headers packages. Everytime I try to install software, apt-get also gets the idea to finally redo the headers, but it always fails. Then I get a load of errors and the software doesn't get installed. [22:30] I cannot start os w/ vitrualbox, it says "VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED)." I inserted the line "nmi_watchdog=0" to grub, as it was suggested on a forum, but didnt help. can someone help me? [22:30] How am I to fix this? [22:30] mdemocritus: firs i choose the install, then the cd rom and hard drive work for a while and the that black scrn comes up with a command prompt and initramfs , and it says : enter help to see the commands [22:30] mib_ll610n, I said this only because I had to adjust something in Bios to be able to send signals to external screen [22:30] tushyd: there's is an "irqpoll" option, yes. append "irqpoll" option to the boot options... [22:30] gtT: you do have the driver installed? [22:31] in grub, or lilo... [22:31] PeterFA: can you run 'apt-get -f install', and if it produces similar errors, put them up on http://paste.ubuntu.com [22:31] chris_goe: how to I do that? [22:31] annkas: right. but im kinda the other way around - it only works with if i had an external screen [22:31] Myrtti, yes, they are... [22:31] that's very strange, Aslanix. i would download the install cd from the website, burn the iso, and install off there... [22:32] mdemocritus: yeah, thats strange [22:32] tushyd: 1) find out which bootmanager you're using (grub, lilo, etc...), 2) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf ... [22:32] chris_goe: I'm using grub. But how do I access that file when I can't boot? [22:33] baa i'll reinstall it [22:33] soundray, please wait: [progress percentage] [spinny-thingy] [22:33] tushyd: in the boot menu, instead of pressing enter to boot, press "e" [22:33] and append "irqpoll" to the kernel-line [22:34] soundray, it finished without producing errors. [22:34] bye for now, i leave to check again ! [22:34] PeterFA: see if you can reproduce the original error now. [22:34] hi there [22:34] hi [22:35] there is any firewall on hardy that is comming by default? [22:35] !ufw [22:35] Factoid ufw not found [22:35] no there is no firewall on hardy, well at least i dont htink so [22:35] Could someone please remind me of the command I need to changed which version of the JRE I want to use? [22:35] !firewall | alecs [22:35] alecs: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [22:35] chris_goe: Ok, i appended it... is there a way to save or do I just press escape? [22:35] q ok starting the server again, with all drives disconnected [22:35] Darlok_Williams: update-alternatives --config java [22:36] just do apt-get install firestarter [22:36] buntu0: Thank you. [22:36] what is a good program for extracting music from audio CDs? I'm hoping for a program that can retrieve the song names and such from a database online. [22:36] HAI GUISE! [22:36] can anyone help me ? [22:36] *sudo apt-get install firestarter [22:36] no problem there, Darlok_Williams [22:36] buntu0: Hmm... says I only have one version installed. [22:36] alecs: what's wrong with the links that ubottu gave you> [22:36] > [22:36] soundray, no errors. [22:36] ? [22:36] soundray, thanks. [22:36] I cannot start os w/ vitrualbox, it says "VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED)." I inserted the line "nmi_watchdog=0" to grub, as it was suggested on a forum, but didnt help. can someone help me? [22:36] may be the kernel /hard drive is corrupted, time to reinstall [22:36] alecs we are helping you === arthur_ is now known as arthur [22:37] PeterFA: your apt system was wedged somehow. apt-get -f install fixed it [22:37] Darlok_Williams: then as far as ubuntu is concerned, must be only one, is the other installed in an odd place? [22:37] tushyd: when edited, press 1x ESC, then b for boot (IIRC) [22:37] I would like to buy a tv tuner. what would you recommend for a small budget linux compatible one? [22:37] buntu0: Nah... forgot I had a clean install ;) [22:37] Thanks [22:37] I desperately need some help getting my network interfaces working again [22:37] i mean i have installed apache 2 on a ubuntu ... ant it seems that my web server don't anwser (connection timmed up) [22:37] soundray, thanks. I have to learn apt-get stuff. I used to use Gentoo. [22:37] prodigel: PCI or USB? [22:38] there is no firewall on ubuntu [22:38] prodigel i have used a cheap ATI wonder VE internal PCI, with BT878 chipset and it has worked good [22:38] jessica_lilly: that's not accurate [22:38] chris_goe: thanks! [22:38] ok i beleve there not to be [22:38] i could be wrong [22:38] well, did the irqpoll option help at all? [22:38] jessica_lilly: please post only information that you are reasonably certain of [22:38] iptables is installed, but not configured to do anything [22:38] soundray: doesn't matter if it goes well [22:39] i was resonably certain of it [22:39] i was told here by some one last week or the week befor [22:39] When I try to install a game through Steam and Wine, it say's im out of Hard drive space, I'm sure Im not, does anyone know whats going on? [22:39] and ive looked thought the system for ages [22:39] how can I change the default application that opens when I plug in my iPod? The option seems to have disappeared from System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media in Hardy [22:39] i just got told ubuntu has no firewall it just dose not have any port open by default [22:39] Anyone know the command to start nvu (nvu.com)? [22:39] prodigel: there is one manufacturer with a particularly good reputation for supporting Linux driver development: Hauppauge === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [22:40] prodigel: do you need DVB or analog reception? [22:40] PeterFA try nvu [22:40] ? [22:40] Jordan_U: as I suspected, passing UUID... did not help either :-\ [22:40] when i do 'make xconfig' in a kernel directory i get "/usr/include/wchar.h:345: error: ‘__extern_inline’ does not name a type". anybody know what that means [22:40] i mean i have installed apache 2 on a ubuntu ... ant it seems that my web server don't anwser (connection timmed up) [22:40] Bhavesh, already did.

I have a coaxial cable internet+cable link [22:41] I wonder if anybody tested the "having md0 as /" in hardy... [22:41] jessica_lilly: you are right in that the firewall is not that persons problem, as its not set with any blocking rules by defaults [22:41] prodigel: where are you located? [22:41] soundray: romanai [22:41] soundray: romania* [22:42] chris_goe: I see very few discussions of RAID here. Maybe this is something to ask about on the forums. [22:42] jpw27_: its to do with pointers and types [22:42] how can I change the default application that opens when I plug in my digital audio player (ipod) in Hardy?

[22:42] thanks, ubottu [22:42] jpw27_: not without seeing the source code [22:43] fakeraid definately helps [22:44] buntu0: 'make xconfig' has worked on my system before, so I don't know why it stopped now [22:44] * Daviey would avoid fakeraid [22:44] prodigel: if you can have DVB reception, you should buy a DVB-C card (e.g. Hauppauge Nova-C). Otherwise, I think a good card may be one from the PVR series. [22:45] jpw27_: well the code is probably broken due to an upgrade or something, getting me line 345 of your wchar.h would be a start :) [22:45] hey i wanna ask that room somethin [22:45] i hope can anyone help me [22:45] i install that software ubuntu linux [22:45] soundray: how can I find out if I have DVB?

[22:47] daviey i did it [22:47] jpw27_: ok ill check it out [22:47] i got a 3 d effects [22:47] but not a cube [22:47] prodigel: do ask though, or search your provider's web site for DVB [22:47] tayfun: type 'ccsm' at a command line, and click on desktop cube [22:47] So, I installed World of Warcraft, and after watching the intro-movie the game quits to the desktop again.

[22:50] buntu0: just in general? yes [22:50] my standby works sometimes, and sometimes not, using nvidia [22:50] SeaPhor: what does `sudo fdisk -l` say? That should display the size, regardless of what partitions are on it [22:50] jpw27_: anything that would touch /usr/include, such as kernel headers, -dev packages, any development headers, just headers really :P [22:50] SeaPhor: which capacity does sudo fdisk -l show for it?

Power is definately getting to the mobo as a light is on. Any ideas?? [22:52] Where does the ubuntu install the jdk by default? [22:52] how'd you multiply the drives? i can use the same trick [22:52] buntu0: yea, I'm not sure if (or why) kernel headers touch stdlib.h [22:52] jay-koz: check out this explanation http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3925379&postcount=4 [22:53] buntu0: i really have no clue though [22:53] just wondering [22:53] jpw27_: im working on it ;) [22:53] musikgoat, soundray , sudo fdisk -l shows (i had 2 160gb before) now shows 3 160gb drives [22:53] buntu0: haha, thanks much [22:53] BorkisDrizzt, Are you running Hardy?

[22:59] soundray: stable version [22:59] hello linux world! [23:00] When installing Java support, should i install The Java (TM) SE 6 or 5 ?

[23:02] lesjohn, /var/spool/cron [23:02] soundray: when for example many flash are loading in the site [23:02] soundray: the site is very load [23:03] aguitel: that's much more likely to be an issue with the flash plugin than with firefox itself. [23:03] question: i am sitting on a 3 year old computer, WindowsXP. Want to clean the computer and re-install with Ubuntu on it. [23:03] i've got Ubuntu burned on a CD.

[23:05] I would like to create a custom icon for a launcher in ubuntu. What file format does it need to be in, because when I browse to the PNG I created, the launcher icon browser doesn't see it. [23:05] driver fails to load during boot [23:05] .ico i think? [23:05] I have a wubi problem [23:05] wolfdart, install build-essential [23:05] Hi all. I've upgraded to 2.6.24.18 and my wireless net card isn't automatically added. I've checked with modprobe -l, the module seems to be loaded, but ifconfig shows no card.

[23:05] i have a usb light, and i want to make it so when data is written to a certain folder in my hard drive, ubuntu activates the usb port and lights it up so i know that its writing it [23:05] my standby works sometimes, and sometimes not, using nvidia [23:05] can i do that? [23:05] aguitel: okay, I follow your reasoning. If it was my problem, I'd upgrade to rc2, but there can be no certainty that it will 1) solve your current problem and 2) not create new problems. [23:05] iateshaggy, you mean you have to install drivers ever time you boot [23:05] lbg: whats the problem? [23:05] shelbyscates: probably... [23:06] all i need to know is how to set up how to make it supply power to the port upon write to a directory [23:06] aguitel: when you've done the upgrade, I recommend removing the proposed repository again. [23:06] shelbyscates: it's gonna supply power to the port regardles [23:06] soundray: ok thanks [23:06] My hardware drivers app isn't showing up therefore restricting me from sorting out a current resolution problem, is there any other way I can install nVida drivers?

But 377501224/(1024*1024) = 360.01 [23:13] ^Ocean^: yes, but they will both control the same pointer [23:13] VikJES: it's installed and I've setup the user, but I still cannot connect from my XP machine [23:14] <^Ocean^> And Can I Run 2 Keyboreds at the same time? [23:14] what am i missing? [23:14] ^Ocean^: yes [23:14] ^Ocean^, Yes, but if you want them to be separate cursors / inputs you will need to run two X sessions [23:14] MaarekStele: On the XP box, you get nothing? No authentication window popping up? [23:15] <^Ocean^> soundray, Okay, now I know I can run 2 Xservers at the same time, Can I make One X server ues one set of mice KB/mouse, and make the other X server Bind too the Othre Keybored and mouse ? [23:15] sorry abotu that i forgot dude [23:15] <^Ocean^> Jordan_U: ahh that just answerd my Next Question haha. [23:15] MaarekStele: when you try to access the samba share that is [23:15] VikJES: the authenticaton pops up, but it's not registering the user and pass that I created [23:15] ^Ocean^, I am pretty sure it's possible, but I have no idea how to do it :) [23:15] Just checked again, and flashplugin-nonfree is installed in the Synaptic Package Manager. [23:15] ^Ocean^: I think this may somehow be possible, but I have no relevant experience. [23:15] ok [23:15] MaarekStele: you likely need to setup smbpasswd [23:16] VikJES: I try to map the drive, and the authentication pops up. but when I put in the user and password it won't let me in [23:16] can anyone tell me how i can get openGL? [23:16] here is the error i saw in recovery mode that i wrote down [23:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18589/ [23:16] version 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 [23:16] <^Ocean^> Jordan_U/soundray, So Technicaly I could more or less set up a Dumb Terminal useing 2 Kb/mice and a dual Display Setup ? [23:16] MaarekStele: sudo smbpasswd username [23:16] Another Q: Before re-installing Ubuntu would it be wise to check out my hardware, or will Ubuntu find the names of these devices automatically? [23:16] fenrisx: please use my nick so your replies are highlighted. Do you also have gnash installed? [23:17] hi, does anyone know how to unlock a cd drive that got locked while trying to write something to it with k3b? [23:17] musikgoat: I did that, but it still didn't work, one moment I'll try resetting the user [23:17] MaarekStele: I'd like to see your smb.conf file... [23:17] ^Ocean^: you'd have to have two graphics cards, as far as I know [23:17] i guess u guys are busy i have to go eat ill be back in a bit [23:17] soundray: My bad.. I'm used to talking in slower IRC channels. :) I'm not sure if GNash is installed or not. Today is my first day using linux, and I was just following a guide about the 'first 13 things to do after installing linux." That's where I did what htye said to install Flash and Java. [23:17] I NEED HELP, i used wubi to install ubuntu but when I restarted, it couldn't partition swap.disk or something!!!! [23:17] soundray: Where would I look to see if gnash is installed? [23:17] <^Ocean^> soundray: Well i know with my Gfx card I can run 2 Xsessions, one on each display === mike is now known as qqq [23:17] MaarekStele: did you create a samba user with the smbpasswd command? [23:18] fenrisx: in the same place where you looked up flashplugin-nonfree ... -- synaptic perhaps? [23:18] VikJES: yes: sudo smbpasswd username [23:19] ^Ocean^: I understand, but your two X sessions are running off a single xorg.conf [23:19] hey guys i need a script that can activate a usb port or something similar when data is written to a certain place in my hard drive..... any help here? [23:19] ^Ocean^, I can think of a way you could possibly hack it to work [23:19] im just being annoying.. :P [23:19] MaarekStele: if its a new samba user, use the -a flag [23:19] soundray, musikgoat , had mis-read label- had a mfg part that read "250 G Hitachi si2", but further down said "capacity 160gb", sorry, i'm an idiot, lol [23:19] MaarekStele: musikgoat is right [23:19] soundray: gnash, and gnash common are installed. However, gnash-tools and gnash-cygnal are not. [23:19] fenrisx: please give me the URL for that guide [23:19] SeaPhor: ouch you got screwed :D [23:20] hi, my firefox doesn't seem to be able to do DNS lookups at all [23:20] SeaPhor: heh, didn't seem right [23:20] <^Ocean^> soundray: Well i remember from previous xorg.conf hacking, you can have multipal sessions in the file, and Call what one via a start up script [23:20] fenrisx: gnash conflicts with flashplugin-nonfree. You should remove it and restart firefox [23:20] now, how do i mount it for storage and have it mounted at start-up? [23:20] SeaPhor: I disagree [23:20] soundray: Alright, I will give that a shot. Thanks! Here is the link: http://linuxondesktop.blogspot.com/2007/02/13-things-to-do-immediately-after.html [23:20] SeaPhor: edit /etc/fstab [23:20] VikJES: are they any changes needed for the smb.conf file? [23:20] anyone here know how i can get openGL?? thanks [23:20] HELLO?! [23:20] SeaPhor: I think it's a foul marketing trick to label a drive like that. No reason to be too self-critical. [23:20] I have install dhcp3-server and configured it. It works correctly but does not start when I reboot. I have to do /etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start after reboot manually [23:20] MaarekStele: pastebin your smb.conf [23:21] musikgoat: pastebin? I'm not familiar with that command [23:21] MaarekStele: I don't know because I usually create the smb.conf file from scratch [23:21] !pastebin [23:21] 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) [23:21] I must be missing something. [23:21] soundray, how do i mount it as storage and have it be mounted at start [23:21] soundray: do you know anything about wubi [23:21] SeaPhor: is it ntfs? [23:21] Jordan_U, everything was compiled, but another error happened: http://img405.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotvirtualboxcribb1.png ! I will cry! =D [23:21] VikJES: when installing using the sudo apt-get install samba, the file is created on it's own [23:22] soundray: That did the trick. Thanks [23:22] lbg: I know it's still a bit experimental. If you have problems, I would recommend a full install in a partition. [23:22] MaarekStele: Yes I know, but I usually delete it and use my own instead [23:22] fenrisx: this guide is slightly outdated if you have hardy [23:22] soundray, ext3,, and heres the ls: wbc@wbc-desktop:/dev/disk/by-id$ ls ata-Hitachi_HDS721616PLA380_PVB300Z2TUHXXF scsi-1ATA_Hitachi_HDS721616PLA380_PVB300Z2TUHXXF ata-Hitachi_HDS721616PLA380_PVB300Z2TUHXXF-part1 scsi-1ATA_Hitachi_HDS721616PLA380_PVB300Z2TUHXXF-part1 [23:22] VikJES: any good sites where someone posted a good one? [23:22] fenrisx: please be careful [23:23] sorry to keep asking, but i am still unable to get openGL.... does anyone know of how i can find out how i can get it on my system? it would be most greatly appreciated [23:23] I would like to use different icons for a launcher than the few that are listed when I click the "springy" launcher icon. As soon as I click "browse", nothing shows including icons in the "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/" dir. Anyone know what's going on?

[23:26] Before formating hdd and re-install of new OS, would it be wise to check out my hardware, or will Ubuntu find the names of these devices automatically?

[23:27] tried ifconfig wlan0 down [23:27] ifconfig wlan0 up [23:27] !blkid | SeaPhor [23:27] SeaPhor: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [23:27] n i get the following [23:27] klaes: dolphin ?

[23:30] OK. I found the kernel 2.6.24-18 is quite unstable here... [23:30] theFATMAN: does tab completion fill it in? [23:30] soundray, or raid0 them (mirror) [23:30] musikgoat: no [23:30] janice8951, but it seems, when i look on forums around that people with all kinda chipsets get the same... [23:30] SeaPhor: yes, you can do that [23:30] theFATMAN: enter the directory its in, and type: 'sudo rm ./(yourfilehere)' without the quotes or parenthesies [23:30] !raid | SeaPhor [23:30] SeaPhor: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [23:30] yeah, but I don't really want a webserver. Is that the best idea? I am only trying to use this a host computer for Storing files that I can access from pretty much anywhere. [23:30] janice8951, so if you got any ideas it'd be a help :) [23:31] shelbyscates: i did that, thats what is mindboggling about it [23:31] Well, my Broadcom chipset was easy to install because of fwcutter [23:31] theFATMAN: sometimes you have to tell it the full path to the file you wanna delete. [23:31] Did something happen to SSH with the recent updates? [23:31] ^Ocean^, You can also run Xorg -config /path/to/xorg.conf{1,2} [23:31] theFATMAN: hhhhm. :\ [23:31] rooo [23:31] anybody got ideas? [23:31] paart [23:31] I only had to install the driver using ndiswrapper and then run fwcutter [23:31] soundray, i'd rather volume to get the 320g if i can, is that also at the link you just sent? [23:31] theFATMAN: does ls -al show it? [23:31] nickolaus: probably you mean the openssl bug fix [23:31] shelbyscates: it's on my desktop, lol, so.... [23:31] SeaPhor: yes (LVM) [23:32] janice8951, kk... [23:32] nickolaus: there was a HUGE bug in openssl that got closed, so you have to regenerate all your ssh keys now [23:32] theFATMAN: is it a simple file or is it a directory? [23:32] janice8951: Sorry whats that about using your computer as a fileserver? [23:32] theFATMAN: i've seen that sometimes with ghost mount points [23:32] shelbycates: it's just a file, a png [23:32] graft how do I go about doing that? [23:32] janice8951, well, really easy to install here too, or rather, it did it automatically, but just suddenly now, after using this for like... 3 weeks?? it drops out [23:32] theFATMAN: hhm..... [23:32] theFATMAN: do you see it in terminal ls -al ~/Desktop [23:32] theFATMAN: does ls -a show the file? [23:32] theFATMAN: are there any other pngs on your desktop? [23:32] shelbycates: thats what i said [23:33] nickolaus: the host keys it should do itself - if you have any keys in ~/.ssh just delete them and regenerate them as usual [23:33] !wifi [23:33] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:33] soundray: yeah, thers a few [23:33] Rampage, I think Apache might do what I need it to. I just want be able to access and store files on this host machine. Then be able to access those files from virtually anywhere.

If you paste only the one line, you paste it in the channel [23:34] theFATMAN: just open your hard drive and move the bits to the trash with a butter knife! (WARNING: this action can not be undone!"
