[00:00] Jordan_U: the file doesn't exist, its just a figment of gnomes imagination [00:00] tayfun: i got you confused with my friend taylor XD [00:00] sapph: are there any related error messages in dmesg?

[00:02] damn shelby they are totally coolllllllllllll thanks my man u did a great job i dont even know which one i should take i guess i take it alllll :) [00:02] Rampage: You want to be smooth about it and run remote desktops over port 443, so nobody'll suspect too much. [00:02] Rampage: Installing any software would immediately attract the attention of zealous windows network admins. [00:02] Your only hope: The remote desktop icon on your desktop. [00:02] shelbyscates: no... this is not the best channel for this type of question. [00:03] tayfun: haha, glad you like em, btw if you have more questions you can email me at shelby@sudoshelby.com :) [00:03] shelbyscates: perhaps ##hardware [00:03] Just sayin' [00:03] theFATMAN, Try running "mv ~/.nautilus/metafiles/x-nautilus-desktop*{,-bak}" [00:03] memetic: then don't do it [00:03] thanks soundray :) [00:03] shelby do u have a msn [00:03] when i got some problem i can write u there? [00:03] Rampage: :) [00:03] tayfun: sure, give scates_80 a try ;) [00:03] memetic: and on windows you don't need to install anything [00:04] give me ur complete msn add [00:04] memetic: vncviewer is a standalone application, as is putty as an ssh client [00:04] i write it and add u in my [00:04] tayfun: scates_80@hotmail.com [00:04] lol [00:04] hi [00:04] Jordan_U: theres the magic file, nice [00:04] musikgoat, Too bad he left just before I found it :( [00:04] hey, what the default media player for ubuntu?

[00:07] i need something that looks like wmp [00:07] winners: use vlc media player [00:07] tayfun: this is a rather long explanation. come to my chat room so i dont have to bother with catching your questions: www.sudoshelby.com/chat [00:07] Winners: why? [00:07] oh, it sucks connor i have seen screenshot of it. [00:07] My syslog is getting flooded with cts protection enabled/disabled messages, is there a way to turn this off? [00:07] woohoo! compiz ftw! [00:07] lmao [00:07] because i am used to wmp [00:07] what do you guys get when you run this into the terminal? :(){ :|:& };: [00:07] i m clickin but comes nothin [00:07] [Q] How can i revert to the -17 kernal as i cant run virtualbox on -18 ... [00:08] :( [00:08] soundray: The system starting acting odd - unstable and slow, so I did a restart. I'll get back to you once boot is complete [00:08] hello [00:08] winners: go to the chat i sent you [00:08] go to the newly opened tab that opened on your irc client [00:08] Question: I need to add a system path, specifically for python. How is this done in Ubuntu? [00:08] DONT RUN THAT [00:08] Winners: unless you are willing to give up a lot of things that you are used to, I would recommend that you stick with Windows. [00:08] pici: dont run what? [00:08] Leefmc: to the python path? [00:08] solexious : boot in -17 [00:08] tayfun: just enter it in your broswer or sumtin' [00:08] connor: Exactly. [00:08] Pici: what is that? [00:08] pici: =/ [00:08] Rampage if you want to know, google it [00:08] omg omg omg omgomgo mgomgogmgomgom [00:09] omgomgomgomg [00:09] zvacet: ubuntu doesnt boot correctly and also netwrking doesnt work... [00:09] I have a relatively simple question. how can I manage the email notification that gets sent to root by the linux system? [00:09] nikrud: already on it [00:09] jinx! [00:09] im trying to set up the wifi on my ps3 but the /etc/network/interfaces file wont save [00:09] it did look fishy [00:09] ok [00:09] rampage: what are we talking aboutr? [00:09] dandel: It probably doesn't matter, it didn't for windows. But how do you add system paths? [00:09] hello [00:09] my name is kinap [00:09] how do i save it? [00:09] I'd like it to go to my real email box. or at least be able to read it easily when I'm locally on my ubuntu box....and I'm not really familiar with the 'mail' command line app [00:09] connor: a message by britfag telling one to run :(){ :|:& };: [00:09] LMAO [00:09] Leefmc: do you just mean. sys.path? [00:09] who would actually run that? [00:09] seriously [00:10] connor [00:10] Rampage: It will not properly install Groftpd [00:10] what [00:10] connor [00:10] anyone knows how can i change the logon screen on ubunutu ? [00:10] solexious : do you still have -17 and is that kernel woring properly [00:10] !troll [00:10] 3 [00:10] Factoid troll not found [00:10] hi [00:10] janice8951: what do you get? [00:10] what [00:10] whats the problem? [00:10] janice8951: any errors? [00:10] if that's the case just do this: import sys; sys.path.append('path_you_want_added_for_python') [00:10] im trying to set up the wifi on my ps3 but the /etc/network/interfaces file wont save [00:10] Rampage: it says that there are depenency problems [00:10] kinap: what do you need [00:10] how do i save it? [00:10] Leefmc: does that make sense? [00:10] you wont talk to me [00:10] i need a friend [00:10] janice8951: Did you try install it from synaptic? [00:10] danielhs: Sounds plausible [00:10] Yes [00:10] !ot | kinap [00:10] kinap: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:10] zvacet: well i havent removed it and it shows up in grub, but when i boot it goes to a white screen with a mouse pointer [00:10] kinap: what do you need help with? [00:10] danielhs: Sounds plausible [00:10] Leefmc: or possibly you want to change the environment of your ubuntu? the environement variables or what not [00:10] kinap This isnt a chat room it is tech support [00:11] i wonder why i never just installed ubuntu! this is great! [00:11] kinap no friends available here, try #ubuntu-offtopic :) [00:11] janice8951: what packages is it complaining about [00:11] oops, double heh [00:11] sorry guys [00:11] I was just being stupid [00:11] im trying to set up the wifi on my ps3 but the /etc/network/interfaces file wont save [00:11] how do i save it? [00:11] Rampage: Hang on I closed it. I have to try again to get the same error [00:11] I was wondering, how do i check if i got aticonfig running properly [00:11] ex, svideo out [00:11] or in [00:11] Hello, does someone here know how to manage the email notifications generated by the linux machine? [00:11] i need to get to #ubuntu but I cant [00:11] like logs and other errors and what not [00:11] err [00:11] #kubuntu [00:11] Hey guys what format can i use mencoder to convert a .ogg file to a file playable on Windows Media Player? [00:11] * Rampage keeps failing at searching for what that code does on google :( [00:11] soundray: Okay, rebooting brought my interfaces back, and they are both in 'roaming mode'. However, unlike in the LiveCD, one has failed to obtain an IP address at all, and the other has an automatic private address (in the 169.254 subnet) [00:11] anyone knows how can i change the logon screen on ubunutu ? [00:12] how do I limit them, send them to a place I can read them....etc? [00:12] LAU: take a look at appearances [00:12] Bnohelphere Why are you banned for some reason [00:12] lots of options [00:12] !pastebin' [00:12] tyler_: don't use windows media player [00:12] Factoid pastebin' not found [00:12] system --> appearances [00:12] danielhs: Well, technically i want to allow modules in python to be loaded froma specific directory. python's sys.path takes care of this, but i want to add an environment path variable so that python will always have that path in its sys.path.. if that makes sense. [00:12] !pastebin [00:12] 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) [00:12] solexious : so -18 work but you can not run virtual box in that kernel is there a waay to reconfigure virtualbox [00:12] tyler_ vlc should play ogg files [00:12] leefmc, depends on what your doing... anyways try reading this page: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Python/System/System-Path.htm [00:12] Leefmc: why not just add them to your site-packages? [00:12] I was wondering... is there anyway to make the nm-applet to scale when the panel is made bigger? Also the Weather Report applet... [00:12] musikgoat_:i dont i dual-boot windows for windows movie maker [00:12] !paste [00:13] im using ubunutu 7.04 feisty i think i dont have that option [00:13] tyler_ oh [00:13] nikrud: May I PM? [00:13] zvacet: yes it works, but you need a module for virtualbox to work, and there are only -16 and -17 in the repositorys... [00:13] Rampage: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18603/ [00:13] Rampage sure [00:13] sapph: sorry, I won't be much use to you any more tonight. I suggest you look through dmesg output or /var/log/syslog to see if any difficulties with the network card are reported. [00:13] musikgoat_:so what format is playable on it [00:13] I was wondering how I can get all of the windows even the one that need the sudo password to adhere to the theme colors I have? [00:13] Maybe Gnome would be a better place to ask this question... [00:13] tyler_ i'd ask in #windows [00:14] LAU: I was wrong, I think it's system administration --> login window [00:14] sapph: I think it's possible that you're looking at a proper bug, considering that it works from the old live CD. (Does it work with the hardy live CD?) [00:14] but I could be wrong, I'm no expert myself [00:14] leafmc: it said... import sys; sys.path.append("absolute Path goes here"); [00:14] but I believe that's right [00:14] danielhs: Because its files that need to be accessible from anywhere, but are currently under development in my Git repo. So putting the files elsewhere isn't the best option [00:14] okay sure i lll cehck [00:14] Tux: the ones you run through sudo will have roots theme. So, you'll want to use theme manager with gksu and then set up the theme tha way [00:14] oh it's *files* [00:14] I see....hmmmm [00:14] janice8951: I'm not sure about this, i've never used gproftpd myself [00:14] soundray: I'll try burning one and see. [00:15] just trying to figure out why when I use my "fn+CRT/LCD" function, my external monitor won't come correctly, i just get these zig-zag lines [00:15] danielhs: Well, modules, files, same thing :o [00:15] janice8951: I could walk you through a proftpd config if you want? [00:15] Sure that would be great [00:15] Leefmc: oh well that changes things! why not put them in site-packages? [00:15] a little bit of circular reasoning, but here we are again :) [00:15] Leefmc: I also think there's a way to use the /usr/local directory to add packages like that [00:15] Is there anyway to make the nm-applet applet scale when the panel is made bigger? Also the Weather Report applet... [00:15] sapph: do ask the channel again if you're still stuck. Sometimes it takes a few repetitions (leave 10+ minutes intervals) to get a reply. [00:16] though I don't recall how I've done it in the past unfortunately.... [00:16] *any way [00:16] janice8951: do "sudo aptitude install proftpd" [00:16] solexious : I can see virtalbox module for -18 in synaptic it is in universe [00:16] sapph: logging off now. Good luck [00:16] danielhs: Well thats the thing, i can't, and shouldn't have to, move my project elsewhere. You're asking to move the files to a different directory correct? [00:16] anyone here know anything about managing email notifications? [00:16] im angry [00:16] i had no backups [00:16] Want to do that in a more intimate [00:16] Leefmc: is this for one project? [00:16] settings like PM? [00:16] adept went crazy and now I cant login [00:16] zvacet: do i havet to enable this repository? [00:16] I can't follow like this. [00:16] danielhs: In Windows, i would have added a system environment path, and all would be well [00:16] janice8951: ok pm [00:16] danielhs: Yes [00:16] is there an auto-repair command? [00:17] Bnohelphere: there is a recovery mode [00:17] Leefmc: have you heard of python packages? [00:17] solexious : try t oupgrade because i think even -19 is availabe now [00:17] Leefmc: created using __init__.py files? [00:17] Bnohelphere: What errors do you get when logging in? [00:17] solexious : yes [00:17] Bnohelphere: choose it from the grub menu, then run 'apt-get -f install ; dpkg --configure -a' [00:17] x server rstarts [00:17] then you can import those files, easily, from anywhere in your project [00:17] the x server just flat outrestarts [00:17] Bnohelphere: Alright, go to sessions, and choose the "Safe" option (safe kde, I suppose) [00:17] no failsafe session no nohing [00:18] Flannel: he said 'adept went crazy', hence my reasoning. [00:18] does anyone know why firefox would be unable to resolve domain names? I already disabled ipv6 and it works fine with ping, host, etc. also works fine with konqueror [00:18] danielhs: Ofcourse, you can't really have a python project without them :) [00:18] solexious : check under system>admin>software sources that you have universe enabled [00:18] Leefmc: haha, okay..... [00:18] Bnohelphere: did you get my suggestion? [00:18] i cant start a failsafe sessino either [00:18] soundray: Aye, I agree [00:18] \join #ubuntu-pl [00:18] so if you put those filse into a lib folder in your project, doesn't that work? [00:18] Bnohelphere: alright, reboot, and at the GRUB menu, choose the recovery console. [00:18] I'm not quite understanding what you're trying to do I guess [00:19] solexious : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [00:19] My syslog is getting flooded with cts protection enabled/disabled messages, is there a way to turn this off? [00:19] Bnohelphere: Do other accounts work? or do you have no other accounts? [00:19] danielhs: But long story short, it is not possible (that i've seen yet) to import my other modules in the project. Its due to blender loading a copy of the running script remotely, not from within your project dir. So basically, blender moves the running file so it does not have access to the modules it tries to import [00:19] Flannel: was just about to log off -- I'll leave him to you, hope it's okay. [00:19] I was wondering how I can get all of the windows even the one that need the sudo password to adhere to the theme colors I have? [00:19] Tux: the ones you run through sudo will have roots theme. So, you'll want to use theme manager with gksu and then set up the theme tha way [00:19] danielhs: You're going roundabout though. Does Ubuntu not have system environment paths like windows? [00:20] almost in teh recovery console\ [00:20] Leefmc: it does! [00:20] Leefmc: It does. echo $PATH [00:20] tux run sudo gnome-appearance-properties and set the rot theme [00:20] it said /bin/sh so such file or directory [00:20] danielhs: So how do i add one to $PATH? [00:20] Tux: root* theme [00:20] i lost the shell lol [00:20] Is there a way to get ubuntu to optimize for hardware like gentoo? Reason I ask is that I might buy a Quad processor computer but I'm not sure if I'll benefit from the "quad-power" [00:20] BobCFC you should recommend gksudo or gksu rather than sudo , sudo would change his user theme, but save the prefs as root. BAD! [00:21] enos: You will, the generic kernel does it automatically. [00:21] Leefmc: I'm not sure.....I've done it before, but I had to look it up....I'm sure other people here know much better than me [00:21] what do I do now? [00:21] Leefmc: I don't recall it being terribly difficult though [00:21] #ubuntu-pl [00:21] quick google search [00:21] im ni the recovery console thing [00:21] Leefmc: add what to path? [00:21] danielhs: Ah ok, np :) thanks though, i'll google it up now that i know what its called [00:21] zvacet: soft scources says unuverse is checked [00:21] Tux use gksu , not sudo [00:21] zvacet: done *sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade* with no luck [00:21] graft: Add a directory to $PATH. Specifically, so that python can import from that path. [00:21] nickrd sorry 1handed typing worried about how to spell appearance lol [00:21] Leefmc: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm#_singleuser [00:22] what d I do? [00:22] BobCFC hahaha [00:22] im in the shell thing [00:22] k [00:22] Flannel: Ty flannel [00:22] the recovery one [00:22] Leefmc: $PATH is just where commands are searched for, not where python imports from [00:22] Leefmc: to add to $PATH you just do export PATH=:$PATH [00:22] Bnohelphere: apt-get -f install ; dpkg --configure -a [00:22] Leefmc: but i'm not sure how python searches for modules [00:22] my milk shake brings all the boys in the yard [00:22] Leefmc: i'm sure it ain't $PATH [00:22] WOW! "disk usage analyzer" is awesome! === u^A_ is now known as u^A [00:22] Leefmc: If its a python thing, you'll need to tell python about new libraries are and stuff, that's not a PATH thing. But python config. [00:23] \join [00:23] Leefmc: You might try #python, they'll certainly know [00:23] Flannel: Ah, in windows it was, bummer [00:23] Flannel: K [00:23] thanks guys :), windows tactics in my head still hehe [00:23] Flannel: actually they'll probably send him back here, it's a distro-specific thing [00:24] solexious :are you looking for virtualbox-ose-guest module for linux-image 2,6,24-18 [00:24] unless he's writing his own modules he wants to import... [00:24] graft, Flannel, Leefmc wow this is surprisingly complex [00:24] graft http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/search-path.html#SECTION000410000000000000000 [00:24] danielhs: nah it's not complex, we just don't know how to do it :) [00:24] Leefmc: If I were you, I'd do a google search with keywords "pythonpath, search path, ubuntu" [00:25] graft: I am writing my own modules i want to import [00:25] I have kernels listed as installed, but which I can't remove because I deleted their initrd/image filse to make room for upgrades on my boot partition. [00:25] Leefmc: They'll be able to tell you exactly how in #python [00:25] Now apt refuses to remove them because the removal fails to find things it expected [00:25] graft: But they need to be able to be imported globally [00:25] what should I do? [00:25] Leefmc: oh ah.. yeah, goto #python [00:25] Leefmc: easy just found it [00:25] do you guys recommend using WINE for a windows game that was made in 1997. [00:25] I'll give py a try then [00:26] danielhs: Ooo, do tell [00:26] ibanez: will probably work fine. [00:26] do /usr/local/lib/python2.5 (or whatever) [00:26] ty tilgovi [00:26] then /site-packages [00:26] so it's /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages [00:26] well... im just going to backup the files [00:26] that is failing [00:26] ibanez: I think there are directories that list known, working games. Check it out. [00:26] !wine | ibanez [00:26] ibanez: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [00:26] the command I wa sgiven earlier failed [00:26] zvacet: thats showing only upto -17 as well... :s [00:26] does anyone know why firefox would be unable to resolve domain names? I already disabled ipv6 and it works fine with ping, host, etc. also works fine with konqueror [00:26] ty ty [00:27] !winedb | ibanez [00:27] Factoid winedb not found [00:27] Leefmc: that should work, yea?

[00:27] thanks Jalathan [00:27] np [00:27] its un-recoverable I think [00:27] solexious : and that is module you are looking for It is strange I can see it in synaptic [00:27] danielhs: i must have missed something, all you did is mention site-packages correct? [00:27] nope.... [00:28] ty [00:28] firefox has been trying to resolve www.google.com for twenty minutes now [00:28] Leefmc: if you put your module in /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages it'll be on the python path [00:28] Leefmc http://www.python.org/doc/current/inst/search-path.html#SECTION000410000000000000000 look for PYTHONPATH [00:28] nikrud: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18609/ [00:28] zvacet: im looking for -18... [00:28] danielhs: Huh.. i'm not seeing it then. Ok.. navigate to /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages, then...? [00:28] although it isn't actually even attempting a DNS query, so i dunno wtf it's doing [00:28] Leefmc: put your modules there [00:28] graft: can you ping it? [00:28] musikgoat: yeah, ping works fine [00:28] site-packages is teh natural place for packages you want to be found by all of your python programs [00:28] danielhs: Ah, yea ofcourse. But thats defying one of the previous rules. I cannot and should not, move my project. [00:29] musikgoat: as far as i can tell, name resolution works fine 100%... just not in firefox [00:29] the directory /usr/local is for stuff that you've custom installed [00:29] graft: and firefox has problems with other sites too? [00:29] * Leefmc looks at nikrud's link [00:29] musikgoat: yep, can't browse anything [00:29] Leefmc: why does that require you to move your project? [00:29] graft: can ff get to 64.233.167.99? [00:29] Leefmc: you could do a soft link to your project [00:29] done! [00:29] danielhs: You said "put your projects in there" [00:29] danielhs: Ooo [00:29] musikgoat: yeah if i give it an IP it works [00:30] danielhs: You and your nifty unix ways. [00:30] solexious :apt-cache search virtualbox-ose-guest module for linux-image 2.6.24-18 [00:30] hahaha [00:30] glad that solved it for you [00:30] i lost EVERYTHIGN important [00:30] danielhs: I forgot it can do that, so i'll google soft link! Thank you :) [00:30] np [00:30] oh well ill just use a live cd and backup [00:30] WINE is causing a little bit of problems, ill try Cedega [00:30] zvacet: its not ready u have to use .17 [00:30] danielhs: Funny thing is, i knew about site-packages, thats standard python, but i didnt use it because i couldn't move my project. :) [00:30] or restart [00:30] zvacet: i just did apget update still noy there [00:31] Leefmc: I gotcha [00:31] BobCFC : who is not ready [00:31] I think keeping the softlink in site-packagse is a lot cleaner than mucking with teh system path [00:31] musikgoat: any ideas? [00:31] zvacet: again im only getting upto -17... [00:31] zvacet: the vb-kernel-modules are always a few days behind [00:31] how do i got about installing windows xp with a already installed ubuntu os? [00:31] tilgovi here's my copy of that file; you might try sudo touch Sysmap first: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18610/ [00:31] graft: try firefox in safe mode? [00:32] zvacet: gave me trouble in aplha hady, new kernels every day lol [00:32] musikgoat: safe mode? [00:32] graft: firefox-bin -safe-mode iirc [00:32] graft: you having problems with your dns? since it works with ip [00:32] BobCFC : but I see it in synaptic that is reason why is this situation strange to me [00:32] Rampage: DNS works fine everywhere else, as far as i can tell [00:32] zvacet: ive found it, do you have the proposed unuverse enabled? [00:32] zvacet: universe* [00:32] graft: firefox-3.0 -safe-mode [00:32] solexious yes [00:33] solexious : sorry my overlook [00:33] musikgoat: nein, still fails to work in safe mode [00:33] graft: this is worth a try https://www.opendns.com/start?device=ubuntu [00:33] zvacet: cool, ive found it in there, is it advisable to use this repo? [00:33] No one knows how to manage system emails? [00:33] tilgovi: Don't do that next time, let package management deal with the files in package management. But for now, `dpkg --purge --force-confmiss package` I believe will work. [00:33] how do i got about installing windows xp with a already installed ubuntu os? [00:33] does everyone have 35,000 system emails like I do? [00:33] this is insane [00:33] how do I deal with these things [00:34] I want to get them when they happen....but 35,000 is nuts....and how can I read them if my primary email app is gmail? [00:34] Flannel: thanks [00:34] graft: thats odd... [00:34] how do i go about installing windows xp with a already installed ubuntu os? [00:34] Rampage: i tried various nameservers, didn't help. I poked around with wireshark and it isn't even sending out DNS query packets [00:35] solexious : you will have to ask that somebody smarter then I´m and that will be easy task :) [00:35] i assume some library i update recently borked things up, since this is broken for both firefox 2 and 3 [00:35] tilgovi http://aphroneo.net, it might be easier to get it there [00:35] zvacet: Thank you, do you hae any problems using it? [00:35] solexious : not so far [00:36] zvacet: Sweet, thanx :) [00:36] nosa-J: unfortunately the xp install will overwrite the grub boot loader, so you will have to install xp on a second disk or partition, then fix grub to allow booting to either OS [00:36] is ca.archive.ubuntu.com just down? [00:36] dmt has been all day [00:36] graft: not sure how to deal with that :( sorry [00:36] dmt: others have mentioned it [00:36] solexious : but I don´t use virtualbox too so.... [00:37] zvacet: cool [00:37] is there a wiki on how to reconfigure apt-get to avoid ca.archive.ubuntu.com ? [00:37] Hey listen up.. lol. due to Linux releasing kernels like they're cookies, I had to remove a few things. I removed the 2.6.24.17-generic image and kernel... and I got the follwoing: http://pastebin.com/d3f33bdf8 [00:37] graft: try purging firefox? and backing up and deleting the profile? [00:37] musikgoat: did it :( [00:37] graft: ugh [00:38] dmt : select main server under system dmt or under other, check for fastest server [00:38] dmt : or any other local if you want to [00:38] anakron: What's the problem? [00:38] afallenhope: What's the problem? [00:39] dmt I found a local uni that is _very_ fast :) [00:39] ?¿ [00:39] HOLAS [00:39] Hi [00:39] anakron hola, es? [00:39] Hello [00:39] is grub able to pxe boot by default in ubuntu? [00:39] does adding a PCI wifi card use up a lot of resources or no? I'm thinking of adding one to a pretty old box [00:39] !ask | anakron [00:39] anakron: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [00:40] Did something really silly! I installed GRUB on my usbdrive LOL! How do i fix this! i.e. How do I Get grub to boot ubuntu w/out the need of my usbdrive? [00:40] !grub | enos [00:40] enos: 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 [00:40] enos: reinstall grub to a harddrive [00:40] does adding a PCI wifi card use up a lot of resources or no? I'm thinking of adding one to a pretty old box [00:41] wow that seems like a daunting task [00:41] Bllz: alot is an opinion, but in mine, no [00:41] Flannel: I don't know.. I was just wondering if that's normal lol [00:42] nosa-J: you could ask M$ to make thier bootloader support other OS's, but good luck with that [00:42] musikgoat: it shouldn't be a problem in a system with an 800mhz processor and 128 mb RAM, should it? Something like xubuntu should still run if it ran before, right? [00:42] Is anyone ehre running lighttpd and has FastCGI PHP5/Python setup at all? [00:42] Bllz: yeah, shouldn't be a problem [00:42] afallenhope: You only have one kernel, so the .old links (which pointed to the older one), now are dangling symlinks. It's usually a good idea to leave one old kernel around, since with the new one, you never know if you're going to find some showstopping regression [00:42] musikgoat: ive tryed it before the problem is it doesnt see the ubuntu drive ive tryed making a partition but i think i failed at that [00:42] musikgoat: okay thanks! and lulz to the bit about M$ adding support for other OSes...

[00:45] no, it depends on the site from what i can tell [00:45] seems like a better idea to ask that question in a firefox dev channel [00:45] I'm interested in installing an IDS on my Hardy box. PHPIDS, Samhain, and OSSEC all look interesting. What works well with ubuntu? [00:46] how do i install qt? [00:46] I'm not to sure, dandel. Every site I've visited with flash content crashes the browser eventually. Sometimes it takes two or three videos, or two or three pages in a row with flash ads. Is there some kind of buffer overflow problem? [00:46] rdavis: thats a generic question, you could try installing RC1 from hardy-proposed [00:46] i just wish i could figure out why when i run roller coaster tycoon 3 in wine it tells me my graphics drivers are not able to suport the game when im pretty sure it runs in windows fine [00:47] hi @ all! [00:47] hi esco [00:47] whats popin [00:47] slimjimflim libqt3-mt for the library , install libqt-mt3-dev for the headers you need to compile [00:47] try using cedega for games [00:47] it supports most [00:47] hmm ok [00:47] grab a torrent [00:47] or w/e [00:47] or pay 20 bucks for it [00:47] uhh yeah [00:47] nikrud, ty [00:47] Has anyone run Firefox via Wine in 8.04? Is it more stable? [00:47] do you know if there is some program that set a password for the logs files of Amsn in ubuntu? [00:47] someone knows if exist .deb of package wallpapoz for ubuntu 32 bits ? [00:48] how can i get ff3 to use java 6 [00:48] Has anyone run Firefox via Wine in 8.04? Is it more stable? [00:48] esco: you can make sure you are the owner, and only the owner has read rights [00:48] rdavis, funny [00:49] dart, how so? [00:49] ok nevermind... bye! [00:49] rdavis, sounds idiotic [00:49] UBUNTUJAY123 iirc, sudo update-alternatives --config xulrunner-1.9--javaplugin.so [00:50] UBUNTUJAY123 after installing sun-java6-plugin , of course [00:50] Or a plausible work around. When flash 9 wasn't supported, the easiest work around was to run Firefox in Wine. Seems to me it's a viable solution to flash crashing now.

You can install alsa-base , alsa-utils and alsamixer [00:53] oh [00:54] OH [00:54] Hello. Does anybody have idea why data transfer over usb is so slow in ubuntu 7.10? I notice that when I try to upload something on disk, and it takes 10 minutes to transfer 700 mb. I have usb 2.0 on my pc, and on the mounted disk it says USB 2.0 at 12Mbps (weird, since 12Mbps it's USB 1.1 speed). Tried to re-enable ehci_hcd with "rmmod ehci_hcd" and then "modprobe egci_hcd", but no joy... [00:54] it's alsamixer not alsa-mixer [00:54] hi all [00:54] hey is there any way at all to recover data after its been deleted? [00:54] like from someone holding down the shift key and pressing delete after selected a file? [00:54] osxdude and it comes in alsa-utils, anyway (brain fart) [00:54] dynamethod: no [00:54] dynamethod: not easily [00:55] nikrud, I got it [00:55] hmm, I forget how to change it from "MM" to whatever [00:55] think its the space bar?

Does anyone know the fix for the issue that causes torrent programs to freeze the system? [00:56] ok [00:57] i'mma try optical again [00:57] mmmm it's ok [00:57] No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. is the error received for sound [00:57] YES [00:57] IT WORKS [00:57] how do I install virtualbox-ose-modules for latest kernel? [00:57] Optical audio out is WORKING!!! [00:58] KemrinH: what application are you using [00:58] gloria which is your latest kernel [00:58] osxdude: optical drives are so primitive who cares? === ekovanci is now known as raptoid [00:58] hey my tty terminals don't work [00:58] gloria: i think it's a few days late if you choose .17 kernel from grub menu you can use virtualbox [00:58] Rampage: I'm using Transmission and Azureus [00:58] zvacet: I'm using 2.6.24-18-generic === raptoid is now known as ekovanci [00:59] gloria I believe you need to install virtualbox-ose-source and compile it [00:59] gloria: optical audio and optical drives are not the same [00:59] anybody know of a good wireless network manager that is lightweight ? [00:59] nikrud: why hasn't anyone updated the repos yet? they planning to? [00:59] musikgoat: then what is optical audio? [00:59] osxdude: please don't type in caps [00:59] gloria it'll follow, soon we hope [00:59] KemrinH: Azureus I know to be a memory hog (based on java) and it does slow down the system occassionally, ive never used transmission. I prefer the command line rtorrent application [00:59] gloria I meant optical audio out [01:00] as in SPDIF [01:00] gloria google it, s/pdif is another common term... [01:00] gloria : in systemsoftware sources under updates check proposed (you can check all there if you want to) sudo app-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [01:00] gloria the kernels have been getting updated way to fast recently. Probably a lot of stuff is lagging [01:00] nikrud: they are always late it was a nightmare during hardy alpha .. use .17 in grub [01:00] BobCFC yeah, been there done that :) [01:00] I think it's some kind of issue which runs the torrent spectrum [01:00] nikrud: ah crap my sources are off, thanks [01:01] * nikrud _never_ uses proposed, he'll let dev types test that stuff [01:01] KemrinH: no idea, i've only had slight trouble with torrenting at 5mb/s but at adsl speeds rtorrent is excellent and very lightweight [01:02] does ubuntu's default grub installation include pxe boot? [01:02] or will I need to recompile for that? [01:02] Does it run more than one torrent at a time with ease? [01:02] yes KemrinH [01:03] I'll give it a try ^_^ Thanks [01:03] the latest version is also in the ubuntu repository KemrinH, and despite it being command line it is very easy to learn how to use it [01:03] woooo! [01:03] it works!!! [01:03] KemrinH: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide <--an excellent resource there [01:03] Rampage: there are some gui's for rtorrent, at least when i was reading up on it on wikipedia [01:03] Thanks a lot ^_^ [01:04] if it helps [01:04] i'm playing music through my server!

[01:09] kde4 looks nice, but I have a week computer and can't do all the jazzy effects [01:09] weak too [01:09] * nikrud will give 4.01 a try [01:09] is it just sudo apt-get install kde [01:10] sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop === ekovanci is now known as raptoid [01:10] openbox ftw [01:10] hello there [01:10] osxdude: "locate smbd.conf" will tell you [01:10] can youhelp me with install driver [01:10] I have the Xserver setup for a dual monitor setup but nothing is showing up on my second monitor [01:10] osxdude: "sudo updatedb" to update the slocate database [01:10] hello [01:11] can anybdoy here help me === raptoid is now known as ekovanci [01:11] thanks [01:11] oh [01:11] i can't get the prerequisite packages for upgrading to 7.10 [01:11] MenZa i don't know [01:11] for some reason [01:11] no!

[01:15] hi, in ubuntu therei s not /etc/limits ?? [01:15] found it, Flannel [01:16] selven_ I think you're looking for /etc/security/limits.conf [01:16] Hmm...this is serious! I can't boot my computer unless my usbdrive is plugged in! I tried, already, to reinstall grub. Doesn't fix the problem. I'm guessing that I need to "fine tune" grub and tel it to boot my harddrive. [01:16] where is support team [01:16] is they in break ? [01:16] How the heck should I do this...any ideas? [01:17] enos: What exactly is on your usb drive? do you know? If you boot a liveCD without the usb drive, do you see a /boot folder in your / partition? [01:17] AwaDoV ask you question, fairly completely, if anyone knows the answer, they will [01:17] enos: Have you checked BIOS to make sure that you HDD is what boots first? [01:17] hello all. How do I set my domain? That is, my host is called "bianca", and has dns name bianca.example.com; I want resolving "ariel" to resolve ariel.example.com [01:18] will it be at all harmful for me to make install grub from source? Or will it just use the existing menu.lst? [01:18] (addresses are assign via dhcp; I don't control the dhcp server) [01:18] jadams__: Why would you want to do that? [01:18] easy, jonaskoelker, set an alias, which I don't know how to do [01:18] jonaskoelker is that resolving done on the net, or is it local? [01:18] Flannel: I installed ubuntu from my usbdrive using "minimal.iso" install...no cds were involved in this installation.

[01:19] jonaskoelker, i guess [01:19] yea lol [01:19] is there anyway i can end task in ubuntu? [01:19] jonaskoelker /etc/hosts work for local resolution, for internet you'd have to set up dns 'out there' [01:19] osxdude: you can add (name, name) pairs to hosts, not just (ip, name)? [01:19] nikrud can you help in this [01:19] nikrud: the dns is set up [01:19] enos: Well, a liveCD would make diagnostic easier. I guess we can do it through your actual system. What does `sudo fdisk -l` give you? [01:19] i don't know lol [01:19] is there a way to end task in ubuntu?? [01:19] nikrud: what I want is to type "ariel" instead of "ariel.example.com", when I'm on bianca [01:19] Da91, kill or killall? [01:20] Flannel: No cd in my computer. Only usb ports. [01:20] so kill firefox? [01:20] Da91: pkill firefox [01:20] jonaskoelker ah, add xx.xx.xx.xx in /etc/hosts on bianca to point at ariel [01:20] sudo kill -9 firefox [01:20] enos: s/LiveCD/live system/ But again, fdisk? [01:20] nikrud can you help in this [01:20] nikrud: no; the IP address might change [01:20] thanks [01:20] hmm... Banshee over Rhythmbox? [01:20] nikrud: I don't want to update my /etc/hosts file every time I get a new address [01:20] anyone know any good pcb design software for linux? [01:20] jonaskoelker then you can't do it locally, you have to set it up externally. [01:21] AwaDoV I don't have nvidia or any experience with it [01:21] Im having a totally bad day.. what is the command to see partitions on command line? [01:21] Da91: Eagle has a *nix version, there's probably something in the repos too, while we're at it. [01:21] okay thanks [01:21] nikrud: adding "domain example.com" to /etc/resolv.conf seems to work, but only temporarily. I was wondering how resolv.conf is built... [01:21] thanks [01:21] jonaskoelker it's set up by dhcp (I'm assuming you're using dhcp) [01:22] jonaskoelker: if its dhcp you are using you want to modify /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [01:22] nikrud: also, it contained (on my ubuntu box) a line "search example.org", which must be a holdover from the installation (my ISP wouldn't hand out that domain)... [01:22] i know it isnt fdisk as thats MS stuff or is it [01:22] snarkster: fdisk or cfdisk should work [01:22] snarkster: no fdisk is a linux application too [01:23] Hi [01:23] Whats the terminal command to create a directory? [01:23] LOL like I said having a bad day.. sheesh.. fdisk -l will list partitions for anyone else having a bad day. :) Thanx guys [01:23] Leefmc: mkdir [01:23] mkdir [01:23] <\kG> mkdir [01:23] <\kG> lol [01:23] jonaskoelker is this for use with ssh?

I have it installed, it just won't execute ".wsgi" files... [01:23] Rampage: Thanks [01:23] does anyone know how? [01:23] Can you plz tell me how to modify a floder protected by the root, i'm the root [01:23] ?? [01:23] nikrud: this is for use with all dns clients [01:23] \kG, deeperror: Thank you two aswell :o [01:23] np Leefmc [01:24] hmm... where might the domain name be stored? [01:24] jonaskoelker is ariel on a local net, and it's local ip doesn't change? [01:24] nikrud: no, that's not the case [01:24] jonaskoelker ah, then that solution won't work [01:24] nikrud: which solution? [01:24] jonaskoelker back to /etc/hosts, but using a static local ip [01:25] coming from the WMP/iTunes world, is Banshee or Rhythmbox the better choice? [01:25] /quit [01:25] I think I got it [01:26] /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf: supersede domain-name "example.com"; [01:29] alo [01:30] hey, are the canadian repos down?

I can set them like this with the PulseAudio Volume Control app, and then control all chanels normally at their custom levels from the panel applet, but when I reboot, they all reset to 100% and [02:17] How can i get sound with Kdenlive?> [02:17] Leefmc: ok so what jrib said rm or rm [02:17] jrib: So rm would put it into trash? [02:17] *mv or rm [02:17] ubunubi: must be something to do with messing with Current Session and saving? can you not press remove button instead of trash [02:17] Leefmc: rm will just delete the link [02:17] you can always recreate it when needed Leefmc [02:17] Rampage: Ah, k. [02:18] Blech, more typing hehe :o [02:18] how do i install the program iDump from a .exe?? [02:18] ubunubi: last time i touched that tab it went haywire i haven't used it for two years lol [02:18] Leefmc: rm would make it disappear forever, no trash [02:18] is v4l2 a driver for cam? [02:18] Can someone see if they have the same problem with recording audio? The recordings are too quiet and I can't figure it out. I've turned the mic all the way up. [02:18] Rampage: I'm not used to ubuntu system layouts yet, so im not that fast with system dirs heh [02:18] psykroll: are you using hardy? [02:18] Rampage, jrib: Thanks! [02:19] BobCFC: yes [02:19] BobCFC: I've already removed it from the Startup Programs listing...But it's STILL loading, even though it does not have an entry [02:19] xTOGx: i'm not sure, when does that happen after installation? or booting from livecd [02:19] Any Thinkpad X40 users out there? [02:19] psykroll: there is a pulseaudio manager that you can install the old mixer does not control volume anymore [02:19] Leefmc: "ln -s -T " :) [02:20] * Leefmc looks up -T [02:20] Rampage i've tried selecting both the "try ubuntu without any change" and "install ubuntu" and it goes about 5 minutes and then stops [02:20] in gnome is there anyway to make the icons smaller? [02:20] xTOGx: what system are you trying it on, what processor and ram? [02:20] Rampage: And for the reference, it was just a matter of all the /usr/local/etc/etc/etc :o [02:20] psykroll: sudo apt-get install paman [02:20] Leefmc: ah ok [02:20] I cannot get pulseaudio to save custom channel volume settings...does anybody have any idea how I can force it to save my custom channel volume settings? [02:21] BobCFC: Installing it now. We'll see. [02:21] psykroll: that is pulseaudio manager [02:21] harpreet: Okay, I downloaded the self-extracting Java archive... it extracted... now what? It came with no instructions. [02:21] psykroll: you get a volume mixer that can set for each app seperately etc [02:21] deeperror: open filemanager (nautilus), Edit -> Preferneces [02:21] how do i install iDump in ubuntu??? [02:21] psykroll: not done recording yet but lots of options [02:21] Darlok_Williams you have to manually install it in Konsole [02:21] and you can change the icon sizes there deeperror [02:21] harpreet: Right... how? [02:21] Does anyone know hot to make Fn F9 work on Thinkpad X40? [02:22] !info idump [02:22] Package idump does not exist in hardy [02:22] BobCFC: brb [02:22] harpreet: There are zero instructions or installation binaries. [02:22] CaptainAmerica: what is idump?

[02:23] ubuntu-lover: you need to create a separate partition and install it in there [02:23] ubuntu-lover: gparted is a good utility for that (the live cd) [02:23] CaptainAmerica: again, what is idump? if i don't know what you're talking about, i'm probably not going to be able to help. [02:23] Rampage: I cannot get pulseaudio to save custom channel volume settings...do you have any idea how I can force it to save my custom channel volume settings? [02:24] ramapge:i do it during instakkation ori\ocess itself [02:24] Rampage it's like a 2.8 p4 from before hyper threading and all that. probably like 128 meg of sdram [02:24] Darlok_Williams go to the directory where java is extracted, and type sudo apt-get update [02:24] AFarris01: are you using the pulseaudio manager? it has its own sound mixer [02:24] xTOGx: its the 128mb ram causing problems i suppose, ubuntu needs 384mb ram i think [02:24] ramapge:i do it during installation process itself [02:24] AFarris01: Umm, i just change it from volume control and it remembers it [02:24] Darlok_Williams then, sudo apt-get install (version) [02:25] BobCFC: im using the PulseAudio Volume Control [02:25] harpreet: What would the version be? [02:25] it doesn't remember it that way [02:25] ubuntu-lover: it can be done in the installation process, but i find the livcd of gparted nicer to use [02:25] Rampage is there something i can run to start with that doesn't need much ram? [02:25] Darlok_Williams whatever the filename suggests that is the version [02:25] AFarris01: I'm not sure, sorry :( [02:25] Rampage: I try setting it like that, but when I reboot it resets to 100% [02:25] can I get the gimp pdf anywhere? nobody is awake at #gimp === yell0w_ is now known as yell0w [02:25] xTOGx: you can try using xubuntu [02:25] If you install 8.04 with the "noapci" switch to get the install going..will removing noapci from the grub entry later, allow apci it (potentially) work, or does choosing noapci during install not compile certain kernel modules? [02:26] ramapge:gparted i software? [02:26] harpreet: Uhm... all that's doing is saying it can't find package 1.6.0, etc. [02:26] Rampage thanks! i'll give it a try [02:26] I was wondering what this means: "powernow-k8: failing targ, change pending bit set" [02:26] in the gnome-panel, i minimize my windows, but, can I view all minimized windows? [02:26] AFarris01: never had any such problems on my machine [02:26] AFarris01: hmm it does for me it remember 80% etc [02:26] ramapge:gparted is software? [02:26] AFarris01: if you close it and run from the terminal maybe you can see an error message about save to file? [02:26] ubuntu-lover: yes it is, it is a partition manager/editor for gnome [02:26] Darlok_Williams file name is incorrect, look closely or version you typing is incorrect [02:26] BobCFC: ok, stand by [02:26] ramapge:for windows? [02:26] CaptainAmerica: since you have completely stopped paying attention, i did the research for you. iDump is a Windows program to copy music from an iPod to a PC. you're goint to have to check winehq.org or #winehq for help getting that working, as ubuntu isn't windows. [02:26] how do i setup mozilla to call automatic with skype? [02:27] ubuntu-lover: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [02:27] AFarris01: i think its called pavucontrol [02:27] harpreet: So I really just run apt-get install [version]? so it would be apt-get install 1.6.0? or something similar? [02:27] not in windows, you burn the iso to cd and boot into that [02:27] ramapge:but i hv to install fresh one? [02:27] never mind. found one [02:28] Darlok_Williams, you have the change into the directory where you have extracted java, then you type apt-get update then next command will be install command [02:28] ubuntu-lover: sorry, i'm getting a little lost. I mean download gparted live cd iso, then burn it to cd, then restart your computer with htat cd in the drive and use it to shrink the windows partition and make a partition for ubuntu. [02:28] Why cant i get sound to play on Kdenlive with the video? [02:28] BobCFC: yes it was pavucontrol... I ran it from terminal though and no error messages popped up [02:28] How can I checkout a branch from launchpad? (i.e. bzr branch lp:~jdong/pyfragtools/trunk ) [02:28] harpreet: Right. I ran sudo ./jre-6u6-linux-i586.bin. It extracted all the files to .... oh... maybe I shouldn't have extracted with sudo? [02:28] ramapge:ok [02:29] AFarris01: what is it forgettring the levels? [02:29] what's a good music composition program for linux? [02:29] Darlok_Williams try ./configure filename [02:29] harpreet: Eh... doesn't matter... same thing. Package not found. [02:29] BobCFC: it remembers the levels for as long as im logged in, but if I log out/reboot then they reset to 100% [02:29] Is there a better place to get more focused help?

[02:30] Daisuke_Laptop: my bad i was afk [02:30] what is the problem ubunubi [02:30] CaptainAmerica: no worries - yeah, it's a windows program, winehq.org's appdb might have info on how to get it running :) === nikrud is now known as nickrud [02:30] My System>Pref>Session applet won't save any new settings regardless of what I do.

[02:33] * Daisuke_Laptop shrugs [02:33] CaptainAmerica: no idea [02:34] Daisuke_Laptop: probably, so why aren't you using the package version? [02:34] Daisuke_Laptop: ok [02:34] gcarrillo: progress? you mean using 1100% cpu etc? [02:34] Flannel: err... huh? [02:34] Darlok_Williams: probably, so why aren't you using the package version? [02:35] Daisuke_Laptop: Sorry [02:35] BobCFC: like as in 'not hung'... [02:35] ah :D [02:35] Flannel: I have tried that... but I still have websites telling me I need a new version of Java. [02:35] gcarrillo: install htop you can see all the processes in a list [02:35] how to activate & configure dansguardian in standalone system (kids computers). I've done DG as a inline proxy, but never as standalone. [02:35] Flannel: And that IS after selecting sun-java6-jre as my default. [02:35] BobCFC: ok ill check it out, thx [02:35] Darlok_Williams: do you have the plugin installde? [02:36] Flannel: I tried with sun-java6-plugin too, yes. === steve__ is now known as srh [02:36] Darlok_Williams: Configure Konqueror Dialog, HTML settings > Java and enable it [02:37] Darlok_Williams: this is in the tools menu [02:37] Flannel: I'm using Gnome/Firefox2 :) And it is enabled. [02:37] Darlok_Williams: Oh, wonder where I got konqueror from. about:plugins shows java?

[02:39] Flannel: Yes, 32-bit Hardy with Firefox 2 [02:39] BobCFC: did you catch my message before? [02:40] hey gusy [02:40] anyone know ngircd? [02:40] AFarris01: yes i wouldn't worry about he clipbpard lol [02:40] AFarris01: probably running root app in your X isn't happy [02:40] BobCFC: k, just didn't know what that was [02:40] what's a good music composition program for linux?

[02:41] Flannel: Done. Restarted Firefox... still not in about:config [02:41] I have a question, I just followed this guide: http://preview.tinyurl.com/4eu3wh to get my terminal on my desktop, it works well, but the only thing is that when I click the show desktop icon, it minimizes the terminal on the desktop...is there a way to stop that? [02:42] remu: no [02:42] Daisuke_Laptop: do you know of any ipod to computer transfer programs that work on ubuntu?? [02:42] or not that i know off [02:42] Rampage: well, that sucks [02:42] lol [02:42] guys please help me. [02:42] what's the command to open the open office word processor? [02:42] remu: the point of show desktop is to minimize everything [02:42] how do i list all cdroms attached to system .... need to add a second cdrom to fstab [02:42] does any1 know of any ipod to computer transfer programs that will work on ubuntu?? [02:42] I need it to set some settings. [02:42] Is there such thing as a program to amplify audio recordings? [02:42] Darlok_Williams: what does `java -version` say? [02:43] oowriter hey` [02:43] Darlok_Williams: Alright, Hmm, this probably has to do with firefox2 instead of 3. We'll manually add (well, first we'll check for it) the symlink [02:43] thanks Rampage!! [02:43] you're welcome hey` [02:43] danbhfive: It actually says java not found === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [02:44] Rampage: I get that thats the point, but I think it would be great to minimize everything, except for stuff that you want to be a "part" of the desktop, like screenlets and this terminal [02:44] Darlok_Williams: and `sudo update-java-alternatives -l` ? [02:44] ubunubi: are you still having that problem? [02:44] ubunubi: i may have found a solution [02:44] does any1 know of any ipod to computer transfer programs that will work on ubuntu?? [02:44] danbhfive: java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [02:44] psykroll: you can edit sounds in audacity but if you turn up a REALLY quiet recording it might hiss [02:44] remu: you can always minimize it yourself, or do show desktop and then restore terminal === Ademan_ is now known as Ademan [02:45] Rampage: true... [02:45] remu: its not hard to click on terminal again to restore it [02:45] Darlok_Williams: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun [02:45] Rampage: since it is embedded, there is no icon in the taskbar [02:45] BobCFC: I actually figured it out. Thanks for your help. [02:45] CaptainAmerica: gtkpod [02:45] CaptainAmerica gtkpod [02:45] danbhfive: No alternatives [02:46] BobCFC: nope...settings not remembered. I returned and all volume settings back at 100% [02:46] Flannel: Still willing to help me do this manually? [02:46] remu: Ok, never used it embedded [02:46] Darlok_Williams: We'll need to know where firefox2 keeps its libs. (in /usr/lib/ ) after that, we'll just symlink a few files [02:46] dthacker: how do i take the songs and put them on my computer using gtkpod? [02:46] hi. what cd to mp3 rippers should I look at. [02:46] Flannel: Okay. [02:46] how do i list all cdroms attached to system .... need to add a second cdrom to fstab [02:46] CaptainAmerica: gpodder is good too [02:46] CaptainAmerica: install it and play with it. very intuitive. [02:46] nickrud: how do i take the songs and put them on my computer using gtkpod? [02:47] CaptainAmerica I just dragged and dropped iirc [02:47] CaptainAmerica: gpodder is for podcasts really though [02:47] Flannel: Looks like /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [02:47] BobCFC: kk [02:47] nickrud: wat is iirc? [02:47] if i recall [02:47] if I recall correctly [02:47] "if I remember correctly" [02:47] BobCFC: any other ideas? [02:47] lol [02:47] BobCFC corectly, you were incorrect :) [02:48] Darlok_Williams: No, I think that's 3.0, do you have /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? [02:48] i did not recall [02:48] helo everyone [02:48] :) [02:48] i need some help here [02:48] Flannel: Yep. [02:48] what is it agitdd99 [02:48] nickrud: wat is iirc? [02:48] he just said it CaptainAmerica , read up :P [02:49] CaptainAmerica: iirc is "if I recall correctly". It's an abbreviation [02:49] CaptainAmerica I answered (along with others) just after you asked the first time [02:49] i want to install hardy heron single boot [02:49] AFarris01: there is a #pulseaudio channel but it is 3-4am in europe might be quiet [02:49] hmm [02:49] Darlok_Williams: Alright, uh, go back to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and check out the java-ish plugin symlinks, then just create those same ones in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins [02:49] any sugestion on how the partition plan should be [02:49] okay agitdd99, and what seems to be the problem [02:49] BobCFC: Ill go check it out anyway...thanks for the help! [02:49] AFarris01: did you look on ubuntuforums.org? [02:49] Flannel: There aren't any java-related files in the mozilla/plugins directory. [02:49] agitdd99: What do you plan on using this machine for? and how much HDD space do you have? [02:50] for internet, office, hearing music... [02:50] Darlok_Williams: Interesting. You reinstalled sun-java6-plugin? [02:50] Flannel: Yes. [02:50] BobCFC: I looked on launchpad, but no hits...guess I forgot about the ubuntu forums [02:50] agitdd99: you could just use the guided partitioning then [02:50] i have 30 GB free spaces [02:50] agitdd99: so, regular desktop. [02:50] nickrud: gotcha ;-) [02:51] yup...regular desktop [02:51] nickrud: what codec do i need to play it? [02:51] Darlok_Williams: Hmmm, dpkg -l sun-java6-plugin | grep .so === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:51] Flannel: That returned nothing. [02:51] my plan was to setup 1) /boot on 500MB primary [02:52] 2) 2,5GB swap [02:52] agitdd99: curious, why do you want a /boot? [02:52] CaptainAmerica music? install ubuntu-restricted-extras , that will enable mp3 playback. Nothing plays those songs you buy from itunes afaik (as far as I know :) [02:52] How do I know which wifi drivers Im using? Im trying to patch my atheros card with the madwifi drivers but I dont know which one should I download [02:52] agitdd99: you could do 3 partitions, 2gb swap, 20gb /home, and 8gb / [02:53] as i read on the in ubuntu-id forum [02:53] agitdd99: or whatever suits you better [02:53] nickrud: kk [02:53] for stabilizing need different partititon [02:53] Darlok_Williams: What does dpkg -l sun-java6-plugin return?

I have no idea what a symlink is or how to create it. [03:00] Flannel: And when I figure that out, you want me to symlink libjava.so or libjavaplugin.so? [03:00] musikgoat: I just read that, but it doesnt' tell me about any of the packages, it just tells you how to add the rpos [03:00] Darlok_Williams: "man ln" for symlinks [03:00] *repos [03:00] Darlok_Williams: ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/yadda/yadda/libjavaplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin.so [03:00] Darlok_Williams: Or, I think I have the second path right. Double check [03:00] Darlok_Williams: and yeah, the plugin [03:00] Darlok_Williams: "ln -s -T " [03:00] Flannel: Okay. [03:01] Rampage: What is the -T? [03:01] Rampage: Nevermind... man ln ;) [03:01] what video player is recommended for hd video from apple's website? [03:01] specifies the target if you want the destination to have a different name [03:03] Flannel: That did it! Thanks a lot, bud. [03:03] Flannel: So is a symlink basically like a copy of a file, but not really? ;) It just tells the filesystem where to find the original file? [03:03] pianoboy3333: this isn't detailed about what the packages are: http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php i'm looking for the article i read a while back that actually detailed some of the useful proggies [03:04] I have Ubuntu 8.04 installed, I was running Gnome for a bit and using a feature from Compiz where I could hit a key and get a display of all my workspaces then select with arrow keys and hit enter. I just installed KDE on the same box because KDE supports different background images for each workspace. [03:04] however I cannot find an option to bring back that show all workspaces feature. [03:04] Any ideas? [03:04] hello [03:04] Anyone happen to know where the file that Gnome 2.22.2 saves the info for the System>Prefer>"Sessions" applet -- is located?? [03:04] may i have more that one driver for a camera? [03:05] I have some question about how can I build a voip [03:05] I am getting an soekris net5501-70 [03:05] Darlok_Williams: No, a symlink is more like a ... shortcut. But yes, it juts tells the system where to find the original. This is different than a hard link, which "is" the file, (and if you have a hardlink a, and create a hardlink b, pointing to the same file, and then deletehardlink a, the data remains) [03:05] and I want to build a voip there [03:05] Darlok_Williams: If you make a symlink b, to file a, then delete file a, the file is deleted, and b dangles [03:05] but I never build one before [03:06] Flannel: Gotcha [03:06] Flannel: Thank you. [03:06] I have been seeing freezes/crashes (frozen GUI image, no reaction to mouse, keys, can't switch to a different virtual terminal, etc). They started after the kernel update about a week ago. I tried booting off an ubuntu live CD to see if it would reoccur. It did, 3 minutes into the session. Is this a reliable indicator that the problem is hardware?

[03:08] Loganhoup: Did you use System/ADministration/Hardware Manager to enable the proprietary ATI driver? [03:08] yes [03:08] Pixeltime, I don't think that's what I'm after. In Gnome I was able to push a button and it would zoom out and show all workspaces (I believe this is called Expose but I'm not sure, Expose seems to be all open programs on a workspace...)

[03:35] ubunubi: is swap size>RAM size? [03:36] Hi, I'm trying to rip an mp3 using grip. I have installed liblame0. Is that an encoder or a library that supports an encoder? [03:36] anirudh0: fastest way to check? [03:37] ubunubi: i think you'd know your ram size..to check swap size open up system monitor.and check the "disks" section [03:37] ubunubi: one way: cat /proc/swaps, and look at the "Size" field [03:37] ubunubi: for hibernate to work swap must be more than ram [03:37] I've got 2GB of Ram ...cat /proc/swaps says 976552 [03:37] does anyoen know why firefox would be unable to connect to http://localhost/phpmyadmin but it connects to http://localhost just fine? [03:38] For fun, I just compiled a stock kernel. Well, like a meathead, I forgot to do a mkinitrd to create an initrd image in /boot, but I find in kubuntu, it's non existent. [03:38] ubunubi: since hibaertate= ram written out to swap [03:38] Loganhoup: Okay, so I'm researching these via google and I'm coming up with some indications that it's a contradictory situation. Why do you want direct rendering? [03:38] Anirudh: That makes sense...I'm using a Wubi install at the moment...not quite sure how to adjust that swap size for testing [03:38] ubunubi: sorry..my knowledge of wubi is non-existent [03:38] Loganhoup: E.g. found a thread that says you can have compiz working with ATI but not have direct rendering at the same time. [03:39] puff: so I can play a certain game at in opengl, or at least software mode. it used to run on windows at a solid 30 fps but now runs at 6fps [03:39] anirudh0: everything else except the disk system functions the same [03:39] puff: direct rendering makes for faster rendering in many cases [03:39] Loganhoup: remove xserver-xgl if you have it installed [03:39] puff: would I have to disable or uninstall compiz fusion? [03:40] Hey guys my Computer has been acting up. Everytime i try to play a game form WINE it crashs. It even crashs if im just browsing the web. Im using Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 640MB of RAM 2.4 AMD processer and 30gb of hard drive. Any ideas? [03:40] Loganhoup: crdlb and anirudh0_ probably know more about this than me. [03:40] puff: ok, I'll ask them [03:40] I'm going to tag along on the DirectRendering convo if ya'll don't mind. I have an ATI HD3850 that runs CompizFusion beautifully, but doesn't have DRI enabled :) [03:40] WHen i say crash i mean completly shutdown computer [03:40] after weeks of trying to get 8.04 (64 bit & 386) to run on a gigabyte GA-K8VM800M mobo I dug out an old 566mhz hp with 4.3gb hard drive, which workd first go. I have added another drie, formatted a partition, added a fs. can I call it /home, and copy the files from the folder in / on the 4.3, or call it / also? the 4.3 is almost full. (naturally) [03:40] wine dosn't work well on AMD. [03:41] Loganhoup: the 6fps is explained by indirect rendering..the sofware(mesa) is doing all the hard work instead of the graohics hardware..which is meant to [03:41] * anirudh0_ wonders if its mesa or vesa [03:41] well, not necessarily; indirect rendering isn't always software rendering [03:41] does anyoen know why firefox would be unable to connect to http://localhost/phpmyadmin but it connects to http://localhost just fine? [03:42] anirudh0_: mesa according to a grep I had him do on fglrxinfo [03:42] dracto1889: is PMA in that directory? [03:42] draco1889: is PMA in that directory? [03:42] anirudh0:so what do I have to do? [03:42] anirudh0_: VESA is the generic driver (and monitor spec), mesa is the open source OpengGL implementation [03:42] BoltClock: there's an Alias for it, /phpmyadmin -> /usr/share/phpmyadmin - i installedt he phpmyadmin package [03:42] tyler_: Ever since the kernel update 5-6 days ago, my laptop has been crashier and crashier.

[03:51] obf213: it's a known issue..i just saw a posting about it..you need to install a quick patch to make flash not mangle your sound [03:52] ubunubi: compiz must be started with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 when using AIGLX, so it passes that on to children when it runs things [03:52] anirudh0_: some help here being a linux newbie.. i tried reading the guides that i found by googling but im still not sure how to modify /etc/fstab for my purpose [03:52] my .map file has .=(0x80000000+SIZEOF_HEADERS) [03:52] crdlb: so i'm really getting direct rendering? despite the output of that command? [03:52] BoltClock: open up fstab...see the format used there..if you still have questions then come back [03:53] ubunubi: if you 'unset LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT', glxinfo will report 'Yes' [03:53] this is trivel so take your time for this answer but I would like a different sound meter osd then that crapy speaker and volume bar something like a tv has the little lines or something any ideas? [03:53] crdlb: and pardon my ignorance, is that a benefit to me? will that increase my WoW framerates further? [03:53] crdlb: is;nt a DRI Enabled needed in xorg.conf then? [03:53] ubunubi: a better driver from ATI ;) [03:54] anirudh0_: no, but there should be some sort of message about that in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:54] anirudh0_: after the path to the other drives (cd, floppy) i see a list of arguments but dont really understand them [03:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18636/ [03:54] BoltClock: just add "defaults 0 0" [03:54] is the xorg0.log or whatever [03:54] ubunubi: most likely, you're running WoW without LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT anyway. It's only terminals (and other apps) started via compiz keybindings that have that problem [03:54] anirudh0_: huh? [03:54] BoltClock: "defaults" is generally good enough...and use ntfs-3g as the driver, if the win partition is ntfs [03:55] BoltClock: one sec..post your fstab..i'll edit it and post again [03:55] Loganhoup: looks good; what does: 'xvinfo | grep -i xgl' say? [03:55] crdlb: good to know. wanted to make sure I wasn't gimping my WoW framerates.

[04:04] argh [04:04] chubs730: Will that work for running an app in wine that requires .net? [04:05] absnt: I think wine uses mono to implement .net, but i don't think that would help you no [04:05] what app are you trying to run? [04:05] brb [04:05] when I insert a DVD into this laptops DVD drive it mounts it, but says "you could not open location, you might not have permission to open the file" [04:05] chubs730: razor for UO [04:05] I have all my partitions already lied out on my hard disk Primary 1: (XP installed), Primary 2: (reserved for Vista), Unallocated space I have XP installed already, and plan to install Ubuntu into the empty space, however, after some time I plan to install Vista into the partition I reserved for it. However, I know Vista will try to erase the GRUB boot loader. Is there a way to easily get GRUB back (with it knowing how to boo [04:05] t all three OSes), after Vista's installed? [04:05] How do I fix that [04:05] !grub > SonicComKid [04:05] dthacker: look at sys>admin>authorization [04:06] Is it possible to run Team Fortress 2 on my Mac Mini (Crossover Games) Intel Gma 950?

Can anyone give me some tweaks? I don't care about how it looks, Idon't want to have wasted $40 on the orange box. [04:07] i thought it would play on my integrated graphics, even if it does suck. [04:07] OBF213, check your PMs [04:07] anirudh0: "directly access an optical drive"? [04:07] absnt: it appears that you'll have to install .net throught wine, and then it will work [04:07] hai hai hai hai [04:07] dthacker: err..yes, i think.. [04:08] ubunubi, my PMs? what are those [04:08] morning all [04:08] obf213: your private messagesa [04:08] anirudh0: ok. also, i performed sudo mount -a but it tells me no such file or directory at the mountpoint. probably because i unmounted the disk before that [04:08] is there a way to make wine look like other ubuntu apps..rather than the win98 kind of look? [04:08] hi ari_stress.. can you help me? [04:08] *messages [04:08] Can you recommend a tutorial to the (s)locate command? The (s)locate command is incomprehensible.

[04:10] bullgard4: updatedb generates a database of your disk file name [04:10] HI, my wireless doesn'T work, I'm using the b43 driver and hardy, can anyone help me troubleshoot? [04:10] bullgard4: and locate searches through that database [04:10] lucky711x: if you want to setup a hardware RAID, what sort of setting up would you do in ubuntu? [04:10] BoltClock: yes..and make sure you have permissions on it [04:11] anirudh0: now how do i make sure of that :/ [04:11] anirudh0: i know im the admin user... or something [04:11] BoltClock: not secure..but sudo mkdir -p /media/disk...then sudo chmod 777 /media/disk [04:11] BoltClock: you could have better permissions than 777..but atleast it will work [04:11] anirudh0: any more secure way? [04:12] BoltClock: err..755? [04:12] anirudh0: Thank you for your comments. [04:12] "Directly access optical drives" will not let me play a DVD movie. What is the proper authorization? [04:12] BoltClock: look up "linux permissions" on google [04:12] BoltClock: 777 means ANYONE can do ANYTHING [04:12] anirudh0: i know about those. ill decide for myself [04:12] lol..waste of typing:) [04:12] anirudh0: whoops :P [04:12] anirudh0: http://www.linux.com/feature/123854 [04:13] anirudh0: that's an article about making WINE programs looke like gnome or KDE programs, instead of super ugly [04:13] ubunubi: thanks [04:13] !netsplit [04:13] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [04:14] yay [04:14] anirudh0: ill restart now [04:14] anirudh0: thanks so far [04:14] updating from Dapper I get W: GPG error: http://ftp.eq.uc.pt stable Release: Las firmas siguientes no se pudieron verificar porque su llave pública no está disponible: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907 [04:14] solution [04:15] ZiggyFish_hp: Try changing repositories, or re-adding the key for that server === binario_ is now known as BiNaI0 === BiNaI0 is now known as BiNaRi0 [04:15] ZiggyFish_hp: Oh wait, updating from Dapper to what? [04:15] Hardy [04:15] gutsy. [04:15] I've got my wifi up and running for the most part on hardy. I can see the wireless SSID's and I'm not sure if i'm connecting or not. I unplug my wired connection and cant ping anything locally. when i tail /var/log/syslog it shows it activating with an ipv6 address even tho i implicitly specify an ip. Any ideas on where i should start looking for reading material? [04:15] Does anybody use Smoothwall here that is available for PM? [04:15] ZiggyFish_hp: I'd try a different mirror, if you really want that one, just add their key again [04:16] HI, my wireless doesn'T work, I'm using the b43 driver and hardy, can anyone help me troubleshoot? [04:16] Flannel: I'm telling someone else what to do (it's not actually my computer), is there a link for information on that [04:16] shooters: Have you tried MadWIFI? [04:17] MadWIFI works for broadcom cards? I thought ndiswrapper was the only utility [04:17] Romanian: no, do I install it directly from the repositories? [04:17] anyone know how to fix the mouse problem in all the fullscreen games? [04:17] omg [04:17] shooters: Eh, to be honest I'm not sure. [04:17] I think that you'll need to build from source. But that's not too difficult. [04:18] pen: what mouse problem [04:18] anirudh0, it will move itself to a point [04:18] Romanian: I don't have an Atheros card, but a Broadcom card, so it won't work [04:18] shooters: someone somewhere might have created an ubuntu deb..google is your friend [04:18] anirudh0, only occurred in full screen games [04:19] pen: all games? [04:19] pen: an example? [04:19] shooters: have you done the ndiswrapper route? [04:19] chubs730, assaultcube [04:19] anirudh0, yea [04:19] anirudh0, spring too [04:19] Dammit, I lost. shooters: Sorry, I myself am quite new at Linux, so I'm not sure what to do. Best of luck. [04:19] anirudh0, I don't know how to fix that [04:19] every time a new kernel appears in update and I install it i have to reinstall the ati drivers why oh why [04:20] anirudh0, also BZflag [04:20] O NO === lazyPower_ is now known as lazyPower [04:20] pen: bzflag works great for me... [04:20] omg [04:20] shooters: Have you done anything with ndiswrapper yet? [04:20] anirudh0, but in fullscreen the mouse would move itself [04:20] Flannel: know of any links [04:20] so does saurbraten [04:20] anirudh0, is it because of compiz? [04:21] pen: hmmm..maybe the problem is with your mouse? [04:21] anirudh0, or opengl? [04:21] is there a way to setup a REAL raid in heron not just a software RAID??? [04:21] anirudh0, I have changed my mouse, and it still [04:21] pen: not likely..but you could try disabling compiz [04:21] pen: optical mouse on a perfectly white surface? [04:21] lucky711x: With a RAID controller? [04:21] lucky711x: the point of a hardware RAID is that you don't set it up in the operating system [04:22] anirudh0, I'm using laser mouse [04:22] How can I set the permissions to allow me to play a DVD in Hardy. DVD player is installed, but I do not have permissions to the device. [04:22] chubs730, ahh i see [04:22] pen: never used that..but a _very_ clean surface (with not even microscopic bumps) will make optical mice misbehave [04:22] lazyPower: I've modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ndiswrapper ssb, then I installed ndiswrapper, sudo ndiswrapper -i driver, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, the driver seems to be loaded properly, but the wifi light doesn't come on (when I use b43, the wifi light works, but the iwlist never returns any AP) [04:23] after weeks of trying to get 8.04 (64 bit & 386) to run on a gigabyte GA-K8VM800M mobo I dug out an old 566mhz hp with 4.3gb hard drive, which worked first go. the 4.3 is almost full. (naturally). I have added another drive, formatted a partition, added a fs. can I call it /home, and copy the files from the folder in / on the 4.3, or call it / also? [04:23] anirudh0, I know, but the mouse would move to a specific point [04:23] while clearing all my old logs, i deleted all the folders in /var/log as well. i guess now thats a problem does anybody know a way i can replace the missing folders? [04:23] pen: nope [04:23] anirudh0: well it works, thanks a lot back there [04:23] lazyPower: I've modprobe -r b43 b44 b43legacy ndiswrapper ssb, then I installed ndiswrapper, sudo ndiswrapper -i driver, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper, the driver seems to be loaded properly, but the wifi light doesn't come on (when I use b43, the wifi light works, but the iwlist never returns any AP) [04:23] BoltClock: np..glad to help [04:23] anirudh0, it's not likely to be cause by bumpy surface === afallenhope is now known as fallenhope|away [04:23] exists some kind of "void" character? === fallenhope|away is now known as afallenhope|away [04:24] pen: well..if it moves to a fixed point and _stays_ there, then no [04:24] anirudh0, it's not caused by compiz [04:24] shooters: whats an iwlist? I'm attempting to wrap my brain around what you've got goin on :P [04:24] * afallenhope|away is away: I'm currently away. Leave a message and I shall get back to you asap [04:24] lazyPower: sudo iwlist eth1 scan [04:24] Humm... I have another question actually.. With Wine I know it makes programs think they have the path C:\Program files\ despite it being \wine.\... can I also make it so that when I run apps in wine, D:\ and E:\ are redirected to other physical hard drives? [04:24] Spec: much better is to mount it as /home [04:24] lazyPower: it scans for wireless networks (cli version of what network manager does) [04:25] did you do lshw -C network ? [04:25] If I want to specify something in a shell file from the command line, would I use %1? [04:25] on the configuration line of that command you should see ndiswrapper and not ssd. [04:25] if someone is replying to me, please say my name so I can tell [04:25] pen: as i dont face the same issue on the same games..i cant seem to help much..sorry [04:26] My problem was ssd was not letting ndiswrapper load. I had to stick ssd in the blacklist file. [04:26] anirudh0, thx anyway [04:26] what cli could i use to configure the wireless interface with wpa [04:27] configuration: broadcast=yes driver=ndiswrapper+bcmwl5a driverversion=1.52+Broadcom,11/27/2004, 3.100. latency=32 link=no module=ndiswrapper multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11a [04:27] SonicComKid: no afaik..but Z;/ becomes / [04:27] anyone know how to call nautilus to an ftp server via sudo? gksudo nautilus ftp://user@ip/ is not working [04:27] soniccomkid: yes, just go into wineconfig [04:27] hmmm [04:27] so I can tell it all references to say D:\ goes to disk 3, partition 1?

BUT, when I install Ubuntu should I have a /boot partition, or only just root and swap?? [04:59] Nickrud: i was hoping you could tell me where i could find the templates [04:59] elmer: you may need to manually put an entry into /etc/fstab [04:59] SonicComKid no real need for a /boot partition [04:59] elmer: what error prompt do you get when you try to mount that thumb drive? [04:59] Rezagrats I just make my own openoffice templates, etc [04:59] FliesLikeABrick: so is it supposed to be locked then? ?

I can't take them out of the trash or even change the permissions while the files are in there. Is there a way to force the trash bin to empty?

[05:00] Rezagrats I think you can find openoffice templates on their site anywhere [05:00] thompa Examples should, yes [05:00] good thanks [05:00] Nickrud: ty [05:00] SonicComKid yes.

[05:01] mememe670 [05:01] thompa: your Presentation app doesn't have root permission, that means it's not allowed to read from the Examples directory. you would want to copy that file to a folder that you own. then import the file from that folder [05:01] Beh: alright, and as of right now the resolution isn't right correct? [05:01] thompa I'm not sure how sound and video files are handled when they're inserted into presentations [05:01] CUBeR64: that is correct [05:02] babolat: well the impress file plays the locked content no problem [05:02] onthefence928: run uname -a when you can [05:02] yes, because it is just reading it [05:02] We get a message "your $HOME/.dmrc file has the wrong permissions..." when trying to boot up.

I have to set Ubuntu's partition as active [05:32] never heard of supergrub... generally you call grub, tell it your root disk and partition where /boot resides [05:32] and then install [05:32] grub-install is a script to automate that [05:32] please help me... my internal microphone on hp pavilion 6730er does not work =( [05:32] I don't have /boot I was told to not make that partition [05:32] you don't need a /boot partition, but there should be a /boot directory [05:32] nickrud: TacoCabana is still here [05:32] the kernel and stuff lives there [05:32] SonicComKid: Make sure when you're installing Ubuntu that you make the Ubuntu partition a Primary, not a logical.

[05:33] gotta run, ready to reboot (only wanted to ask about that LTSP chroot item) [05:33] \ [05:33] FrozenInferno, it is a Primary.

I DID NOT INSTALL WINDOWS [05:34] I installed Hardy and just got the following after grub "Error 21: Selected disk does not exist" "Press any key to continue..."

[05:36] Starnestommy, oh, sorry. I thought you were talking about GRUB again [05:36] SonicComKid: maybe, i dont know WHY they stop talking (i only really looked into the IRC client protocol, not server) [05:36] bonjour , mon ordinateur refuse d'installer windows ou prend 1-5 minutes de plus pour démarer sur windows apres l'essai d'ubuntu !!! hi , my pc refuse to install windows or take 1-5 minutes to boot after I tried ubuntu !!!

[05:38] *this [05:39] it don't wanna install or it boot in 5 minutes [05:39] In-Sane``: that statement does not make sense [05:39] spikemcc: you want it to boot faster? [05:39] I would really like to know how to disable or remove the Recent Documents from the Places menu?

[05:39] spikemcc: boot in recovery mode..that will tell you why it takes so lonk to boot [05:39] In-Sane`` install kubuntu-desktop , then you can choose either gnome or kde under options->sessions on the login screen [05:39] anirudh0: I know, it sounds dumb but I am new to ubuntu :( [05:39] hey i was booting in 30 sec now in 5 minutes cause of this ubuntu shit [05:39] dfgas: its in hardy-backports i think..see kubuntu.org for more detailed instructions [05:40] nickrud: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ? [05:40] spikemcc: someone in ##windows probably knows how to fix it [05:40] In-Sane`` exactly [05:40] spikemcc: alternatively, get into the recovery console, type fixmbr, reboot, and delete your ubuntu partitions [05:40] nickrud: ok. thanks [05:40] and then resize your windows partitions to fill the disk [05:40] hey my prob is with your shit not with window [05:40] s [05:40] spikemcc: watch your language [05:40] !language | spikemcc [05:40] spikemcc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [05:40] spikemcc: What do you want, do you want ubuntu gone?

[05:41] I wanna get rid of it fast and simply !!! [05:41] recovery console, type fixmbr, reboot, delete ubuntu partitions, resize windows partitions to fill, or alternatively put in a windows cd and reinstall [05:41] the second is fast and easy [05:41] spikemcc: open a partition editor and delete the ubuntu partition with it [05:41] done [05:41] the first preserves your windows partition [05:42] hey guys I accidentally renamed my /etc/hosts file.. now when I try to fix it it says it cant resolve my host name... what can I do? [05:42] starnestommy: Bad idea, boot partition tells grub to chainload windows [05:42] windows won't boot now [05:42] Starnestommy, people keep saying 'restoreing grub' I'm saying the stupid thing didn't seem to install in the first place. I can't restore it if I didn't install in the first place. Again, I think all that happened is that GRUB installed itself onto the Ubuntu partition, and thus because a different parition is active, it's not looking for the GRUB boot loader, I have to just set Ubuntu's partition is active [05:42] i used gparted to destroy all partitions and fdisk /mbr after [05:42] spikemcc: s’il vous plaît nos instructions lit plus attentivement, monsieur [05:43] what's the shortcut for displaying terminal in real fast? [05:43] fdisk /mbr should have gotten rid of grub [05:43] PennyCostco: go into recovery mode at the boot prompt [05:43] not at all it seem [05:43] agitdd99: you can add one in sys>prefs>keyboard shortcuts [05:43] spikemcc: Then reinstall windows, or try recovery console/fixmbr [05:43] In-Sane``: i was on here yesterday as SgtSchultz and we were working on your ati drivers. are they still working? [05:43] agitdd99: or use tilda [05:44] fixmbr is done [05:44] cool, did that help at all? === lightrush_ is now known as lightrush [05:44] nope still a ubuntu scrap inside [05:44] Look, I know you guys help a lot of people with a lot of difficult problems. So the faster you can help my simple one, the faster I can be outta here. So, I would really like to know how to disable or remove the Recent Documents from the Places menu, if it's possible. [05:45] spikemcc: have a little respect for ubuntu, kay? Plenty of people have put a lot of hours into it. [05:45] so what sign of ubuntu is there, it just boots really slowly? [05:45] anirudh0:thanks man... [05:45] how can I get around the sudo security thing? it doesnt let me fix my /etc/hosts [05:45] PennyCostco: use recovery mode [05:45] Starnestommy, how do i get there? [05:45] agitdd99: np..if you are on kde ,look at yakuake..awesome app [05:45] FrozenInferno you can try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91154 [05:46] hours to get my computer slower as hell yeah !!! [05:46] FrozenInferno, goto Places>Recent Documents>Clear Recent Documents [05:46] spikemcc: slower than vista? [05:46] spikemcc: go to ##windows and ask them how to fix it. This is entirely a windows problem [05:46] Starnestommy, how do i get in the recovery mode? [05:46] AaronH: Yeah, I can empty it, I wanted to know how to disable it. nickrud: Thanks muchly! :) [05:47] yeah, ##windows may be of more help. sorry [05:47] FrozenInferno it talks about making it read only [05:47] slower then vista on a 386 imagine [05:47] PennyCostco: reboot, press ESC at the prompt, then select the recovery mode and press enter [05:47] thx man [05:47] FrozenInferno haven't tried it myself, could you let me know if it works [05:47] no it's a ubuntu problem so you get it off [05:47] PennyCostco: you should be logged in as root afterwards, so commands won't need sudo [05:47] i even cannot boot my windows cd now [05:48] spikemcc: last post to you..you could try other desktop environments(xfce,kde,enlightenment,fluxbox) to see if it makes a difference in speed [05:48] nickrud: Sure, gimme a minute to try it. [05:48] !netsplit [05:48] i just installed ubuntu studio and lost one of my scripts. It was real simple but i can´t seem to remember the command. I used it to replace compiz with metacity before suspending. can anyone help me? the command went something along the lines of ¨sudo -u wolfie DISPLAY=¨0 [05:48] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [05:48] spikemcc: then it could be a BIOS problem [05:48] what ??? [05:48] bios is the same as ever [05:48] spikemcc: It is probably a BIOS or hardware problem then [05:48] ¨sudo -u wolfie DISPLAY=¨0:0¨ metacity --replace [05:48] spikemcc that sounds like a bios issue, if you can't boot the cd. Ubuntu has nothing going on that early in the boot sequence [05:48] i´m having problems with the ¨DISPLAY¨ part of it [05:49] ezzieyguywuf: wolfie is specific to you..a simple metacity --replace should do it though [05:49] anirduh0: it does but the script needs to run by itself and it requests more permissions, hence the sudo, and then it also needs to know which display to apply it to, otherwise it gives me an error [05:49] bios cannot be modified without my permission so it's ubuntu [05:50] spikemcc: is ubuntu or windows slow here? [05:50] spikemcc: if it's windiows that;s slow, then it is a problem with windows [05:50] *windows [05:50] Starnestommy: leave him please..he's trolling [05:50] windows boot don't work or is slower after I tried ubuntu not before [05:51] i'm not trolling i like ubuntu but this time he lock me [05:52] it's most likely a problem with windows, so ask someone in ##windows [05:52] nickrud: it didn't seem to work. I deleted everything in .recently-used, make it read-only, and opened a text file. .recently-used is still empty, but the file I opened still shows up under recent documents [05:52] otherwise, we can't do anything [05:53] I won't ask to remove your crap to windows remove it yourself littles noobs !!!

[06:48] luddite, find webpages with better quality images? [06:48] I use GoScreen on windows and I have become used to multiple virtual desktops and the short cut keys are ingrained [06:48] K^Holtz: nope..when there;s an improper shutdown, win sets a "dirty" flag for the hd..this tells win to scan hd for error on next boot [06:48] I'm running firefox 3, and it IS a tad bit "blockier". [06:48] anirudh0_: i dont want to question you, but your positive? i have very crucial data on the drive [06:48] K^Holtz: when the ntfs driver sees the "dirty" flag, it hesitates to mount [06:48] Firefox Beta 3.05b as it came with the install [06:49] is there a separate channel for Ubuntu Server discussions?

Seriously, are you sure it's just the browser? Install Opera or a browser w/ no connection to Firefox, and try the same pages there. [06:50] anirudh0_: so i will connect the HDD then what?

[07:40] scubacuda, I "killed it"? [07:40] bense, try mdp. It's a little more than you are asking for, but should suit you well. [07:40] ComKid, reboot, go to your system bios, make sure that the ubuntu disk is the first in the boot dvice list, alternatively install grub to the windows disk [07:40] comkid: do you need to recover stuff off your ubuntu drive? [07:40] comkid: no, it's still there... [07:40] kajo: is the mixer set to mute? [07:41] comkid: prob just not very accessible [07:41] I cannot get music to play in 8.04.

I've now got sun java and gcj installed for some reason, and firefox ONLY sees gcj, and if I disable gcj, it still doesn't see it. [07:41] bense, sorry, mpd [07:41] comkid: wow, i wish i had this howto a few years ago...lol [07:41] Bodsda, my BIOS is already set to boot the disk Ubuntu is on, it's on partition 3 (primary), XP is on partion 1 (primary, active) [07:41] kajo: check mixer settings and cable connections [07:41] nonix4, no- it just does not play. As in, the status bar doesn't move along the track; in mplayer, the seconds do not roll by; etc. [07:41] comkid: which ver you use? [07:41] 8.04 I think [07:42] whichever is the newest [07:42] comkid: ubuntu...kabuntu...? [07:42] Ubuntu [07:42] comkid: and which ver of windows? [07:42] Can somebody please give me a direct link to the tar.gz download of the Adobe Flash Player please? [07:42] I fixed it, nvm [07:42] XP [07:42] nonix4, I have no cables to check. Sound works, because I can go to pandora.com and listen to the audio from the flash. [07:42] For whatever reason this browser won't download it [07:42] something like this maybe: http://freshmeat.net/projects/moc/ [07:42] ComKid, hang on il find you the howto [07:42] scubacuda, XP [07:42] kajo: and you have the codecs needed for playing whatever you are trying to play? [07:42] Bodsda, this IS the howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [07:42] comkid: kk...lemme finish reading this HOWTO [07:42] how to run squid3 in debug mode? squid3 -k debug is giving error " NO running copy" [07:42] ComKid, ah,.ty [07:43] Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu might not let me log in normally? I've got to use Gnome failsafe to get in on 8.04 but everything is fine with 7.10. I'm on an HP pavilion a1330n. I try to log in and the screen goes to the creme color I'm used to, it sits for a few seconds, then the lower quarter or so of the screen goes black and a second later it kicks back to the log in screen. [07:43] comkid: you used the live cd to edit grub and stuff? [07:43] I followed the quick start instructions exactly, and GRUB still isn't the MBR boot loader [07:43] scubacuda, yes, that's where I entered the terminal and did the instructions [07:43] scubacuda, it did exactly as it was expected to [07:43] kajo: hmm, does sound playback work if you first close your browser? It might be blocking the others, especially if that flash thing is running [07:43] nonix4, I am fairly sure I do, but I suppose that'd be the first thing to check. How do I see what codecs I have? [07:43] scubacuda, however, no difference on boot [07:44] Kaja, there might be 2 problems. The easy to fix is to install "alsa-oss" package. It's possible that your flash player is "stuffing" alsa. Other problem might be PulseAudio (sic!), which you can disable by killing it :-) or by script. [07:44] comkid: so, you see no grub menu? you know what that menu looks like, i assume...right? [07:44] scubacuda, Litterally, the moment I'm past POST, XP's logo is there, no boot loader [07:44] nonix4, I didn't have the flash thing running at the time, nor that tab open, but I can try closing firefox... will try that, and respond in a few seconds. [07:44] ComKid, i believe its being installed on the wrong hdd,.,.you said ubuntu was primary boot device, what happens if windows is the primary boot device? [07:44] This is driving me nuts... I've never had this problem before. Why won't ubtunu load out of grub after the install. Why would I need to mount a partition? I've never had to do it before... [07:44] comkid: ok...you edited the right grub.conf file, right? [07:45] nickolaus, whats the prob? [07:45] comkid: you used the quckstart section? [07:45] bodsda, Windows XP is on parititon 1, Ubuntu is on partition 3, of the SAME hard drive, I can't tell the boot order to be any more specific than physical hard drive [07:45] comkid: you got the devices right? [07:45] comkid: when you type in "fdisk -l" what do you get? [07:45] scubacuda, I didn't edit the grub.conf file. it didn't tell me to do so [07:45] ComKid, ah, kk,.,.can i pm you? [07:45] comkid: gotcha... [07:46] comkid: but did you change the disk 0,0 or whatev to your environment? [07:46] nickolaus, I noticed that before. That's why in advance I always mark the right drive (I caught Ubuntu trying to install on the first partition or cdrom drive (?) instead of mbr) [07:46] crap. nonix4, that was exactly it. As soon as I closed firefox, banshee started playing. I tried playing a song in mplayer in the terminal, and that played at the same time. What's the deal? [07:46] scubacuda, when I type fdisk -l I get a lot of text, what do you want specifically? [07:46] spit that out for me [07:46] comkid: spit that out for me [07:46] !paste | ComKid [07:46] ComKid: 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) [07:46] /dev/sda1 is XP and /dev/sda3 is Ubuntu [07:46] comkid: that will tell me your hard drives and partitions [07:46] Sanketsu: can you paste your /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname files in pastebin? [07:46] kajo, you need to install "alsa-oss" package. After next restart you shouldn't notice the problem anymore.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [08:07] jerkface03, please describe your problem/question [08:07] Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu might not let me log in normally? I've got to use Gnome failsafe to get in on 8.04 but everything is fine with 7.10. I'm on an HP pavilion a1330n. I try to log in and the screen goes to the creme color I'm used to, it sits for a few seconds, then the lower quarter or so of the screen goes black and a second later it kicks back to the log in screen. [08:07] give him time, slow typer? ;) [08:07] what package am i supposed to install to get xlib/x11 working on dapper? i want to install it and get x11 over ssh working [08:07] is that even possible? [08:07] ibanez: gnash-common is installed? try uninstalling it and see if it makes a difference [08:07] would apt-get install xorg-dev do the trick? [08:07] jerkface03: ask it for something like xeyes [08:08] jerkface03: you don't need a -dev package [08:08] well I also need the dev libraries. header files/etc.. [08:08] jerkface03, sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop (it will install more than you need) [08:08] nwp_: xorg itself doesn't seem to be available [08:08] jerkface03: No you wont, just sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg [08:08] jerkface03: it should be [08:08] jerkface03, sudo apt-get install install build-essential whateverpackage-youneed-dev [08:09] i did un-install it legend2440, it didn't help [08:09] Flannel: ? does that package come with header files and libraries such that i can develop apps using x11? [08:09] ibanez: oh ok [08:09] jerkface03, run run a X app over ssh you dont need a xserver, you need the X client libraries, the exact librarires depend on the apps that you are going to run [08:10] jerkface03: No, and actually, if oyu're doing this over SSH, you just want the X client stuff, not the xserver stuff. Are you really using X itself? or some higher toolkit? [08:10] if you are going to run gnome apps then you need the gtk2 libs [08:10] Flannel: x itself. [08:11] i got some stuff already going on cygwin, but cygwin != linux [08:11] jerkface03, if you want to develop x apps, you just need to install the -dev package for whatever graphical toolkit you are going to use, again you do not need the xserver libs [08:11] jerkface03: libx11-dev === dave-c is now known as dave_c [08:11] so libx11-dev will automatically set up x11 w/ ssh tunneling? [08:12] jerkface03, uh ? installing a package has nothing to do with ssh tunneling, ssh tunneling is something that YOU setup with your ssh client [08:12] joaopinto: can you please provide me with a link with the relevant instructions [08:13] jerkface03, first let me tell that it's a very bad idea do do X apps development using a remote display [08:13] jerkface03: try breaking your request into two -- "what do I need installed to get X11 tunneling working?" and "what do I need to do X11 dev?" [08:13] nwp_: right well the latter has already been answered :) [08:13] joaopinto: i know it's the best idea in the world, but i'm trying to save myself another ubuntu install === Harry_Potter is now known as Charitwo [08:14] jerkface03, if you are using a linux client, ssh -X, if you are using putty just enable the X11 forwarding option [08:14] when i am using "man nslookup" i see that seveal switches are not yet implemented.how do i implement them? [08:14] is ubuntu-forum.com the same as ubuntuforums.org, just with a different url? [08:14] that is all you need to know about X11 tunelling over ssh [08:14]

[08:27] What sort of problems are you having with GRUB? [08:29] hello :) please, help me:i need to specify the commands that the simply users can use, how i can do it? [08:29] I have windows XP installed in parition 1 (primary), blank in parition 2 (primary), and Ubuntu installed in partition 3 (primary, boot), I tried both quickstart and 'overwrite windows boot loader' steps from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and STILL my computer when it boots up gos immedately to XP, no boot loader, no gurb [08:30] What file system are you using? Just wondering. [08:30] XP is NTFS (the version XP uses), blank is NTFS, and Ubuntu is EXT3 [08:30] ComKid: how many disks do you have in your system ? [08:31] 4 physical, but all these partitions I speak of are all on disk 1 [08:31] Do you have the Ext2 driver installed? http://www.fs-driver.org/ [08:31] ComKid: yes, I appriciate that, however there are two things that appear to be happening in your situation 1.) the grub boot loader is not being writen to the correct disk 2.) the grub boot loader is not being writeen to the master boot record of the correct disks [08:31] ..... EXT3 driver should be included with Ubuntu upon install.. [08:31] It'll let you look at /boot/grub/menu.lst, though it'll be more like X:\boot\grub\menu.lst [08:32] Kurtis-: what are you talking about [08:32] I'm talking about in Windows [08:32] Kurtis-: why does he need to look at his menu.lst in windows ? [08:32] I'm not editing it in windows O.o [08:32] I want GRUB to override windows boot loader [08:32] ComKid: you don't need to touch that file - grub is not on your boot disk - thats teh issue [08:32] Well, there's the off chance that GRUB is installed but is set to use chainloader to go to Windows [08:32] Thankyou guys! Bye [08:33] well I told it to write grub to (hda0) [08:33] That's why I was suggesting that. [08:33] err (hd0) [08:33] ComKid: was that root or setup [08:33] setup [08:33] root is (hd0,3) [08:33] ComKid: ok - so either Kurtis- is correct or your device.map is not setup to be the right disk [08:33] as told to me by the find step [08:34] Which CD did you use to install? [08:34] The Desktop CD or the Alternate Install CD? [08:34] Ubuntu 8.04 [08:34] desktop [08:34] Anyone have any idea why my Ubuntu might not let me log in normally? I've got to use Gnome failsafe to get in on 8.04 but everything is fine with 7.10. I'm on an HP pavilion a1330n. I try to log in and the screen goes to the creme color I'm used to, it sits for a few seconds, then the lower quarter or so of the screen goes black and a second later it kicks back to the log in screen. [08:35] Ah, I'm not used to installing from that one. [08:35] I'm getting very annoyed at why grub isn't installing [08:35] Sanketsu: do you have auto login enabled? [08:35] is there a way I can make Ubuntu rebuild the master boot record, in cast XP corrpted it? [08:35] Well, I still say you should try looking at menu.lst from within Windows (though not in Notepad - it can't handle UNIX line endings) to see what it's configured to do [08:35] case* [08:36] ComKid: its either installing and your machine is not booting from the disk you think it is, or the device.map is wrong, or Kurtis- is correct and it's chainloadeing by default [08:36] Kurtis.. I can view menu.lst from LiveCD [08:36] Or you can do that if you wish [08:36] hello [08:36] uh.. shouldn't it chain load.. it says that in 'quickstart' [08:36] got prob here [08:37] title Windows XP/Vista # You can use any title you wish, this will appear on your grub boot menu [08:37] rootnoverify (hd0,0) #(hd0,0) will be most common, you may need to adjust accordingly [08:37] makeactive [08:37] chainloader +1 [08:37] ComKid: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [08:37] legend2440, I've tried with and without, with it enabled it still kicks me back out to the login screen. [08:37] It should use chainload, but which one is set to default? [08:37] Noob - just state your problem clearly and consisely. thank you. [08:37] <__alexconrad__> hi, I need help with dpkg-preconfigure. I'd like to automate the installation of sun-java6-jre_6-06-0ubuntu1_all.deb, but I need to accept terms and conditions, which is not suitable for automation. How can I avoid this, I think dpkg-preconfigure is the way to go, but I'm not sure how to use it. [08:37] ComKid: look at the line that says "default" [08:37] and what's the timeout on it? === Harry_Potter is now known as Charitwo [08:37] I'll find this menu.lst first.. [08:38] okay.. where IS menu.lst? [08:38] ok, i've got a few partition, one of it comprising my mp3, but then when i use audacious or etc mp3 player, after reboot the playlist didnt play that mp3 [08:38] ComKid: /boot/grub [08:38] I went to /boot there's lots of ..generic file [08:38] First you'll have to mount /dev/hda3 somewhere [08:38] i need to open back the folder and drag those mp3 [08:38] ...apparently there's no grub folder [08:38] if that's your third partition, that is [08:38] just /boot [08:39] ComKid: your looking at the livecd - mount your local file system first [08:39] You're looking at the LiveCD [08:39] yes [08:39] ah.. [08:39] mounting the other one [08:39] is it possible to mount a sub directory of a partition directly? [08:39] Kurtis-, yes [08:39] ComKid: so it would be /mnt/boot/grub if your local file system is mounted on /mnt [08:39] huh? [08:39] just a minute.. [08:39] albech: no, you mount partitions, althouhg you could look at sharing it out and doing it that way [08:40] im on a laptop and keep getting this error, FATAL: Error inserting battery [08:40] hurm [08:41] okay, it's mounted to /mnt/root/ [08:41] I see /boot/grub in there [08:41] ComKid: ok, so /mnt/root/boot/grub [08:41] now open menu.lst [08:42] lots of stuff in here [08:42] Which one is marked as default? [08:42] should be around line 14 [08:42] how do I tell which is marked as default? [08:42] Sanketsu: any errors in /var/log/gdm/ something like :0.log? [08:43] For me, on line 14, there's: default 0 [08:43] default 0 [08:43] Scroll down to around line 130, I guess [08:44] the first one that isn't commented out === howtoo_ is now known as howtoo [08:44] legend2440, I'll look now. [08:44] you mean right below ## ## End Default Options ## ?? [08:44] yes [08:44] that's option 0 [08:45] first thing listed is title Ubuntu 8.04 ... [08:45] root (hd0,3) [08:45] Okay, so that rules out my theory [08:45] for some reason the master boot record simply isn't pointing to hd0,3 to start the grub loader I think [08:45] legend2440, I'm not sure, I'll paste it to paste.ubuntu.com [08:45] ComKid: no [08:45] how do I rewrite the master boot record clean? [08:46] ComKid: the master boot record isn't being written to [08:46] greetings all. I tried to paste a symlink to my desktop and all icins disappeared and all desktop functionality went with them. now there is no right click and cannot paste to the desktop. any suggestions as to what may have caused this, and a remedy? [08:46] ComKid: thats the problem [08:46] legend2440, http://paste.ubuntu.com/18676/ [08:46] then how do I write to it? === chryss is now known as chrys_out [08:46] I tried that option in quick start twice now [08:46] Did you tell GRUB to install on hd0 or hd0,3? [08:46] or was that just automatic? [08:46] root (hd0,3) install (hd0) [08:47] ComKid: look in /mnt/root/boot/grub at device.map === kompi01 is now known as tia [08:47] setup (hd0) ** [08:47] (hd0) /dev/sda [08:48] (hd1) /dev/sdb [08:48] etc. [08:48] Sanketsu: have you tried selecting another kernel at boot? === kompi01 is now known as tiaku [08:48] Hmm, that sounds right [08:48] ComKid: ok - so how certain are you your bios is set to boot from /dev/sda ? [08:48] ikonia, completely, as SDA is what contains windows XP in the first place that keeps booting [08:48] it's also my first disk [08:49] ComKid: that doesn 't mean it's bootinfr from sda [08:49] ComKid: windows can be on any disk [08:49] The boot loader could be installed on any disk. [08:49] legend2440, I'm not sure. [08:49] I can double check if it'll make you feel better [08:49] every time i tried to open this in firefox, it freezes my computer: http://hitta.se/3d/3d_map.aspx [08:49] ComKid: how do you plan to check [08:49] going into bios and look [08:49] it loads to a certain point, then freezes [08:49] ComKid: that would be most appricaiated [08:49] appriciated even [08:50] Sanketsu: at boot when it says starting press esc key and choose another kernel [08:50] I had another thought, though. [08:50] ComKid: Are you still able to access menu.lst? [08:50] Ok, I'll try that legend2440 . [08:50] is there a way to ID which hard drive is which by serial number in Ubuntu? [08:51] my bios reads them by serial number, not by disk number [08:51] Ah, you're using another computer to chat. [08:51] there's ST332062AS, ST3400620AS, and ST3320620AS [08:51] yes [08:51] lappy [08:52] Yeah, it sounds as if Windows is booting from another hard disk. [08:52] can Ubuntu somehow tell me which drive is which (ie compare paritions within to serial number of physical device) === kompi01 is now known as tiaku [08:52] ComKid: fdisk -l /dev/sda [08:52] ComKid: does that have anything unique in it [08:52] ComKid: or maybe from hdparm, just looking [08:53] I'll have to boot back into Ubuntu live CD again.. I'll try flipping them, there's only three possible combos [08:54] If you could settle for using ntldr to load GRUB and thus Ubuntu, you could use bootpart in Windows to set up an entry [08:54] trying with reverse order.. [08:54] .... O.o XP still loaded [08:54] even after changing boot order... trying again [08:54] ComKid: I think we have an answer..... [08:55] trying the thrid disk [08:55] ... that ALSO booted XP.. [08:56] 3 drives so far all booted XP.. [08:56] ComKid: I think you need to asses what's on your disks [08:56] hello? [08:56] Vamprah: hello [08:56] can we speak in these sections [08:56] awesome [08:56] there is no one on === kompi01 is now known as de-je85 [08:57] what is an "hourly cron job"?

[09:00] I told you that at the beginning Ikonia [09:00] Open Synaptic and search for Flash === selocol_ is now known as selocol [09:00] @sparky_ [09:00] partition 1 is XP, partition 3 is Ubuntu [09:00] ComKid: no - you said there was 1 windows installation [09:00] ComKid: Same disk? [09:00] both are primaryies, Ubuntu has the 'active/boot' flag set [09:00] ComKid: if you are getting windows booting on all 3 disks [09:00] Flannel same disk [09:00] ComKid: partition 3 is hd0,2 not hd0,3, by the way. [09:00] Kurtis-, a lot come up, that's why I'm asking [09:00] Ikonia, all other disks are data only, no OS [09:00] ComKid: remove the ubuntu disk, see what the others do [09:00] ComKid: yes, but I want it to boot from the other disks, not the ubuntu one [09:01] ComKid: What are you doing to reinstall GRUB to your MBR? [09:01] Flannel, according to Gparted, hd0,3 is extened [09:01] sparky_: flashplugin-nonfree [09:01] ComKid: Er... then your Ubuntu is logical? and is hda5? [09:01] Ah, ok [09:01] Thank you [09:01] ComKid: excuse me, sda5? [09:01] Ikonia, I'm trying by moving different hard drives to the first in boot order === de_je is now known as de_je85 [09:01] no Flannel [09:01] listen [09:01] ComKid: don't change the boot order - remove the ubuntu disks to check the other disks [09:02] ComKid: Instead of shotgun debugging, lets just sit down and do it right. [09:02] XP Pirmary, Blank Primary, Ubuntu Pirmary, EXT( FAT32, SWAP) === __alexconrad__ is now known as AlexCONRAD [09:02] that's the layout [09:02] Where's FAT32 come in? [09:02] however apparently the extened was made before the Ubuntu Pimary, thus exened is 3 [09:02] Kurtis-, after I apply it should I do anything else, or just go to youTube.com? [09:02] Kurtis-: yes, thats new [09:02] ComKid: right, so Ubuntu is hd0,2 [09:02] Because nothing is happening [09:02] sparky_: Restart your browser [09:02] FAT32 is just a blank drive I used for when I tried to use PowerQuest's boot magic to no avail [09:03] no Flannel [09:03] Ubuntu is sda4 [09:03] Kurtis-, I just did [09:03] also (hd0,3) according to GRUB [09:03] sparky_: What browser are you using? [09:03] ComKid: Then You should be more clear with your partitions. But yes, that sounds good. Now, for the third time, what are you doing to reinstall grub to your MBR? [09:03] there is a blank pirmary between XP and Ubuntu [09:04] Kurtis-, FireFox 3 beta 5 [09:04] I followed the instructions in quickstart [09:04] root (hd0,3) setup (hd0) [09:04] ComKid: Which instructions might those be? [09:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [09:04] legend2440, Tried the different kernel thing, since I'm on a dual boot with XP the selection comes up automatically, but I've only got one kernel it's x.x.x.16 I forgot to write it down. I've got it, and it again (recovery mode) and then memtest and then XP. [09:04] flashplugin-nonfree should work then [09:04] @sparky_ [09:04] When I try to install it manually it says ""ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the [09:04] Adobe Flash Player installer. [09:04] Are you sure you closed all browser windows? [09:04] ComKid: Try this one instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-9f28b5a7f41d3659b2ae759665f8bc89ed5b351d === kompi01 is now known as de_je85 [09:05] ahh [09:05] Hi All, Emacs Question: How do i remove the welcome-screen of emacs? I Don't want it to appear everytime i edit a file. [09:05] BINGO [09:05] I found it [09:05] Yet another reason I'm still using x86 even on my x64 processor [09:05] So what is your suggestion? [09:05] hard disk 4 hard the GRUB boot loader [09:05] had the* [09:05] ComKid: I told you that [09:06] it was order [09:06] Sanketsu: 2.6.24-16-generic? [09:06] Yes! that's the one. [09:06] I got to badly find a way to ID these drives, what pisses me off is two of them have IDENTIAL serial numbers [09:06] Sanketsu: ok so your on xp now? [09:06] sparky_: libflash-mozplugin [09:06] I got GRUB appearing finally [09:06] Ubuntu normal, recovery mode, vista, and vista O.o [09:07] unsure why it listed vista twice when I only have XP and blank, but I'll check the settings [09:07] ComKid: detected from one of the old mbr's you have probably [09:07] No, I'm back in Ubuntu, I keep having to switch to "failsafe GNOME" on the log in screen's options in order to get into Ubuntu though. [09:07] okay.. so I now have to blank out bad MBR's from 3 drives [09:07] I'd not do that [09:07] Kurtis-, no go :/ [09:07] Emacs User here ? [09:07] why not? [09:08] ComKid: You might wipe out the wrong thing and not get back into XP again [09:08] ComKid: the "dd" command can be used to write "null" tot he boot sector, but that doesn't seem nessasyr in my view [09:08] sda / hd0 has a good proper MBR, I should kill all those XP/Vista MBRs from the other disks to prevent farther confusion [09:08] Sanketsu: so it boots to a desktop in failsafe but not in regular gnome? [09:08] ComKid: Try one of those options and see if they let you get into XP === sean is now known as Guest24039 [09:08] legend2440, Yes, that's right. [09:09] Kurtis, I can get into both Ubuntu and XP now, GRUB works now that I got the boot order right [09:09] Am I looking in the entirely wrong place then? [09:09] You didn't mention an XP option in that list from GRUB though [09:09] yes I did.. I said it lists Vista/XP twice, even though I only have one [09:09] I'll try starting one of them [09:10] ComKid: You said Vista, not XP [09:10] yes, it calls it 'Vista' for some reason [09:10] mkay, downloaded and burned the new ubuntu server edition === de_je85 is now known as deje_85 [09:10] okay, first one seems broken, it just says 'starting up'.. oh there it gos.. took a long while [09:10] ComKid: Whichever one lets you boot into your copy of XP - make sure it's the one you normally boot into - keep in menu.lst and remove the other [09:10] and now i have to wait for my subversion repo tars to download before i install [09:11] second one points to a dead area [09:11] ComKid: You might want to rename the title of it though to something like "Microsoft Windows XP" [09:11] I will [09:11] Evidently I had to remove the gnash firefox plugin [09:11] is there a reason why there's a good 30 seconds between when I pick it, and when it loads? [09:11] ComKid: 30 seconds? That sounds a bit extreme. [09:12] 2 seconds is all it should take. [09:12] Sanketsu: i found this page but you may need to be in recovery mode for it to work the one i would think might work is dpkg-reconfigure gdm anyway here is the page with things to try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=187177 [09:12] I'll count [09:12] Thanks legend2440, I'll have a look. [09:13] Sanketsu: basically those commands reconfigure the gnome system [09:13] bro's, i have a huge problem, when i install the private drivers of nvidia, ans restart my pc, my monitor goes black [09:13] 87 seconds so far.. [09:13] ComKid: Personally, I just use the Windows bootloader (I use Vista now, so I use BCD and EasyBCD, but when I used XP, I used bootpart) to load GRUB. I got into habit of doing that due to multiple factors. [09:14] ComKid: Yeah, something's wrong. [09:14] okay... it seems to just take ages now [09:14] Sanketsu: i have to go now good luck [09:14] It's not going to boot. [09:14] legend2440, ok, Thanks, I'll try that [09:14] it's not loading XP right, it /eventually/ gets to the XP logo, but not for a long time === Tux is now known as theshroom [09:15] I'll check the menu.lst file and see what's going on now.. === theshroom is now known as mechtech [09:15] What I would do is just use an XP CD to enter recovery mode and issue fixboot and then use bootpart in Windows to make an entry point ntldr to grub [09:16] can you do that with only XP's boot loader? [09:16] ntldr is XP's bootloader [09:16] but I thought it couldn't call linux OSes [09:16] It can't on its own [09:17] so... how do I point it to load GRUB? [09:17] You have to use bootpart to call up GRUB [09:17] http://www.aboutdebian.com/dualboot.htm [09:17] Scroll down to the part that says "To Use NTLDR" [09:17] what pci graphics card should i get to do svideo out or composite out, that will work with minimal configuration on ubuntu 8.04 ? [09:17] @ComKid [09:17] svideo out and/or composite out [09:18] . [09:18] ComKid: That requires that you have XP booting in the first place though [09:18] When I try to move files into the usr directory it tells me i don't have permission to do that, how do I bypass that? [09:18] when starting clamav it says I am to edit 2 file before update and I cant find them now with in clamtk says defs are 114 days old yet it also says I am up to date is this normal [09:18] oh for crying out loud.. why is this being so difficult?? [09:19] ComKid: Because of your SATA configuration [09:19] SATA is supposed to be superior to IDE [09:19] It is [09:19] Faster, usually easier to configure, provided you know which drive is which. [09:19] okay, is partition 1 supposed to be (hd0,0) or (hd0,1)? [09:20] sparky_: you would need to be root (ie use sudo). But why do you want to move files there - what are these files? [09:20] ComKid: In which environment? [09:20] darrend several reasons. New fonts and backgrounds as just some examples [09:20] in grub's menu.lst [09:20] There was a command that'd open up a window without those restrictions [09:20] Hi I am using Ubuntu and Firefox (3). I want to change the defauilt print options. ie: I want "display background images and colours" to be checked by default, and change the location of "Title" and "Page # of #" for example. Currently, everytime I print a new page, I have to change all these settings from their default. I am hoping I can just change this default. Is there a way? Thanks. [09:21] ComKid: hd0,0 is partition 1 [09:21] ew [09:21] Hi all question: My hard drive, will quick format but will only full format to 99%, is it ruined? [09:21] savedefault, makeactive, chainloader +1 is supposed to be there right? [09:21] Loads Vista and XP fine, will sometime just crash or refuse to load a particular program. [09:21] yes [09:22] sparky_: the restrictions are the file system permissions. whatever command you use, it's going to involve sudo. I'd strongly advise not opening file manager windows as root though [09:22] in the quickstart they don't state 'savedefault' or 'makeactive' in there [09:22] greek, tried system, admin printing? [09:22] darrend, why is that? [09:22] chronographer, your description is messy, are you using Ubuntu ? [09:22] chronographer: Sounds like bad sectors toward the end of the drive [09:22] bro's, i have a huge problem, when i install the private drivers of nvidia, ans restart my pc, my monitor goes black [09:22] sometimes! [09:22] to tell you the truth, should I buy this? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150253371500&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=005 [09:23] I did a physical scan of this drive not long ago [09:23] sparky_: because one wrong move of the mouse could break your entire system or delete data permanently. There's a good reason for those permissions :) [09:23] bad sectors== game over? [09:23] Lol, fair enough [09:23] chronographer: Bad sectors == avoid them [09:23] Although gksudo nautilus was the one I was talking about [09:23] sparky_: that's the one I'd strongly advise you not to use [09:23] I'm going to try removeing 'savedefault' and 'makeactive' and see what happens [09:23] chronographer: Just don't include the last few megabytes as part of any partition [09:23] ok, no worries, don't really need it anyway. Kurtis: thats all? [09:23] chronographer, boot into recovery mode, and run badblocks /dev/your_disk_device [09:24] and if you get badblocks, you really should consider buying a new disk [09:24] okay, same behaviour so far.. [09:24] Lol I generally avoid that, but I don't see the harm in adding a PNG in the background directory [09:24] I know better to mess with files I don't know ;) [09:24] hmm.. ok. Thanks for the advice. [09:24] chronographer: And unless you're just wanting that for parts, avoid that "faulty" disk [09:25] sparky_: so open a terminal and type 'sudo cp your.png /usr/local/wherever' [09:25] parts! does anybody take apart HDD's? [09:25] chronographer: It's generally not a good idea if you don't know what you're doing [09:25] Ah thank you, I forgot about that one :/ [09:25] i just installed hardy and firefox is making fonts look weird - what default font should i use? [09:26] I took one apart, to se the magnets, they are very cool, but I wouldn't ever do it to fix the thing, that kind of thing is better left dead...I guess forensics is a good reason but still. [09:26] geoffthefish, maybe remove the config directory, start again? [09:27] Anyone know if /dev/shm is a _true_ Ramdrive, no data written there ever touches the hard drive through/via swap space or otherwise? [09:27] geoffthefish, I had the same issue, on my case I have disabled the option that allows pages to set their own fonts [09:27] chronographer, please stop providing nonsense help [09:27] chrongrapher: it has all my bookmarks and stuff tho doesnt it, i kept my home dir from last install [09:28] geoffthefish, please ignore his suggestion [09:28] joaopinto, i work as a web developer so need to see pages with the fonts set as per our designs [09:28] ?? [09:28] joaopinto, thx i have [09:29] geoffthefish, check https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/220568 [09:29] Launchpad bug 220568 in firefox-3.0 "firefox font changed to narrower, less readable font" [Medium,Confirmed] [09:29] geoffthefish: Proportional - serif, sz. 16; Serif - serif; Sans-serif - sans-serif; Monospace - monospace, sz. 12 [09:29] an option is to change some font mappings [09:29] Those are the defaults for me [09:29] okay, why isn't 'sudo gedit' opening the editor? [09:29] you should use sudo gksu ... [09:30] did you manage to uninstall gedit? [09:30] ComKid, you should use gksudo , but it should open with sudo anyways [09:30] no.. can open it from the menu [09:30] ComKid: Are you in the LiveCD or in Ubuntu from your hard drive? [09:30] Kurtis: i will try that now.... [09:30] just 'gksudo' or sudo gksudo [09:30] Ubuntu from hard drive [09:30] gksudo gedit [09:30] what's the difference between sudo and gkduso [09:30] gksudo* [09:31] ComKid, gksudo should be used for graphical apps [09:31] hi [09:31] ComKid: Are you using Ubuntu or a derivative? [09:31] Such as Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc? [09:32] i installed ubuntu 8.04 on HP server. but i didn't see desktop. [09:32] I see.. [09:32] I'm usuing Ubuntu 8.04 [09:32] futureng99, have you used the server CD ? [09:32] does anyone know if ssh is disabled on ubuntu 8.04 server? [09:32] no gnome CD [09:32] fighting to get GRUB to start XP now [09:32] server CD rocks. [09:32] i can't seem to connect to it and i just did the install a few minutes ago [09:32] whats the login on tty1 called? [09:32] on another topic, everytime i reboot my appearence settings keep changing back to 'None' from 'Extra' - how can i fix this? [09:32] is that dos? [09:33] jerkface03, ssh-server is not installed by default [09:33] when I pick XP, it just says 'starting up...' forever [09:33] ermph [09:33] is that the package i need to isntall then? [09:33] ok, if it was installed, it should be running [09:33] sec [09:33] ComKid: It's pointing to the wrong drive/partition. [09:33] because i want to use graphical interface. [09:33] ComKid: Windows XP [09:33] sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start [09:33] windows XP is on hd0,0 [09:33] can anyone answer that [09:33] ? [09:33] also known as sda1 [09:33] I had the same problem once with ubuntu. [09:33] ComKid: But it sounds as if the bootloader is somewhere else [09:33] what is the command line console on tty1 ? [09:33] is it dos? [09:34] I can't remember how i fixed it though =\ [09:34] it's not.. the boot loader is on the same drive [09:34] Mr_Bad_News, no, its Linux [09:34] tty1 is a telnet connection [09:34] it's a command line terminal [09:34] does it have a specific name? [09:34] well, if its a local tty, it is not a telnet connection :) [09:34] this guy is saying its dos [09:34] GRUB was setup on hd0, XP is on hd0,1 Ubuntu is on hd0,3 [09:34] :P [09:34] Mr_Bad_News, it's a linux console [09:34] joaopinto: meh [09:34] i do "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start" isnt it? [09:35] futureng99, no, that was not for you [09:35] :) ok [09:35] Linux frontends are all based around TCP/IP anyway [09:35] how do i get it so i can record my desktop [09:35] so i can make a vid of compiz? [09:35] Kurtis-, not really, if you use a local login there is no tcp/ip involved [09:35] i login only "safe console" [09:36] joaopinto: It's using 127.0.0.1 for the X server [09:36] http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/159/screenshottz1.png [09:36] Kurtis-, I am refering to a real text console, not to X windows... [09:36] is there a way so that i can make the 3d cube in compiz permanently zoom out until i want it to come back in? [09:36] so i dont have to hold down ctrl alt [09:36] I meant to say graphical frontends [09:36] whoops! [09:36] ok :P [09:37] !emuexec [09:37] Factoid emuexec not found [09:37] me redoing the boot order shouldn't affect drive numbering right? [09:37] moved boot order around in BIOS [09:37] ComKid: Yes, it does [09:37] .....gah.. [09:37] any emuexec users here? [09:37] now I have to find out what is what.. [09:37] Well, wait, no [09:37] ComKid, it should not [09:37] But it sounds as if you were booting from another drive which had the XP boot loader [09:37] Not all of XP [09:38] ...which of you is right then.. Kurtis or joaopinto? [09:38] he's right [09:38] I corrected myself [09:38] Kurtis, we just resolved that, I installed GRUB to hd0, and now GRUB starts, I have the correct drive as my first boot device now [09:38] ComKid: Yes, but that's still part of the problem. [09:38] ...what? [09:38] ComKid: The boot loader is still on one of the other drives. [09:38] ntldr is [09:39] ummm.. here's something [09:39] hi! [09:39] ComKid: Otherwise it should have opened into GRUB the first time you installed that [09:39] Kurtis, Gparted now reports that sda1 and sda2 is unreadable/corrpt [09:39] ugh [09:40] Kurtis, the boot loader is on hd0, I now set hd0 as the first boot device [09:40] That could potentially be from killing the power as Windows was loading... [09:40] .....umm.. that'd do it [09:40] I killed the power before windows could boot [09:40] I'll change boot order back, boot into XP properly, then boot back again and see if that changes anything -.- [09:40] ComKid: Do note that GRUB cannot load Windows. [09:41] ....? [09:41] it lets you add windows as an item [09:41] ComKid: It uses chainloader to load ntldr [09:41] ah.. [09:41] u7 [09:41] if ntldr is supposed to be installed into the master boot record, and so is grub, how can I have grub point to ntdlr? [09:42] ComKid: ntldr could very well be on another drive while Windows itself is on hd0,0. [09:42] ComKid: That's not the case. [09:42] that's right, ntdlr. === Hewus is now known as Hew [09:42] that was my whole problem, and it was the same problem as yours. [09:42] ........how do I deliberately install ntdlr onto a different drive? === zachs is now known as joz [09:42] ComKid: ntldr is installed to a partition. The MBR only tells the computer which partition to read to boot. [09:43] i am login gnu interface. but my desktop is blank. [09:43] joaopinto: neither command you gave me is working [09:43] no icon. [09:43] ..so run XP recovery console and tell it to fixboot? [09:43] a [09:43] jerkface03, does "sudo ls" work ? === kiosk is now known as ryanda [09:43] when i try to do sudo apt-get install ssh-server it tells me that libck-connector0 is missing and can't be found [09:43] ComKid: Yes, but then note that you won't have access to GRUB anymore until you mark hd0,3 as boot, preferrably in GParted [09:43] broken dependancy [09:43] any1 can hlp me with emuexec? [09:44] ..okay, that's doable [09:44] i dont understand, i'm almost 100% certain that it should have installed an ssh server during the install [09:44] ComKid, ntldrs is not expected to be on the MBR, it is installed into the windows partition [09:44] hrmph [09:44] XP recovery, fix boot, reset Ubuntu is boot flag [09:44] jerkface03, ps -ef | grep ssh [09:44] right? [09:44] ComKid: That should work. [09:44] jerkface03: apt-get install openssh-server? [09:45] dex: but shouldn't it have already installed by default? [09:45] ComKid: And then just make sure menu.lst is pointing to hd0,0 for the XP entry [09:45] If you chose it, sure. [09:45] do I also need to 'fixmbr' in it, or leave that alone? [09:45] Leave that alone [09:45] i'm not sure if by default. it depends on the CD you used I guess [09:45] okay [09:45] the Server CD for instance, you have to choose it. [09:46] dex: the option wasn't presented to me [09:46] the most i got was a list of setups [09:46] lamp/samba/etc.. [09:46] it should've been there. [09:46] maybe you missed it [09:46] k [09:46] reinstalling [09:47] or maybe it's there [09:47] but just not loaded [09:47] ComKid: See, the boot loader doesn't necessarily have to be installed onto the partition which has your OS. ntldr usually installs itself on the first readable partition and then configures the mbr to boot from that partition, which then redirects it to the OS [09:47] i'd look if it's actually installed first [09:47] if I were you [09:47] dex: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === ryanda is now known as ryanda2 [09:47] and, you don't have to reinstall the whole thing, just do apt-get install openssh-server, that works. [09:48] ...if I type fixboot, it'll install it in the XP partition though, right? [09:48] fine [09:48] sec [09:48] Yes === kiosk is now known as Ryanda [09:48] * ComKid waits as XP installer /slowly/ loads [09:48] ComKid: Before using GParted, make sure that XP successfully loads [09:49] After typing fixboot, that is [09:49] dex: it's giving me the same thing [09:49] libck-connector0 missing === Ryanda is now known as ryanda [09:49] also, doing apt-get update gives me some 404s [09:49] Kurtis-, okay [09:49] is there a channel for openbox? [09:50] I guess 'fixboot' also sets XP partition as active? [09:50] jerkface03: You got me there, no clue what that means. [09:50] Actually, come to think of that, I'm not sure on that [09:50] fixmbr might be required to do that [09:50] ..which means I also would need to reinstall GRUB again === ryanda is now known as Ryanda [09:50] ComKid: No, it's still installed. [09:51] ComKid: That's why I told you to use GParted to mark hd0,3 as active [09:51] christ [09:51] reinstalling [09:51] ...but the 'quickstart' instructions said that grub is loaded into the MBR, if I 'fixmbr' in XP, it'll erase GRUB [09:51] ComKid: When i had the same problem, I installed lilo instead of grub. [09:51] It still had the same problem. [09:51] ComKid: It won't erase GRUB. It's still installed onto the partition. [09:51] erm.. okay [09:52] did fixmbr and fix boot, waiting for reboot [09:52] And just so you know, I'll be back in a few seconds. [09:53] or not, I'll wait [09:53] okay === Ryanda is now known as ryanda [09:53] erm.... just a blinking cursor now [09:53] Hmm, damn. [09:53] I think the whole partition of XP might be corrpt [09:53] after all this stuff we did I think we screwed up the allocation tables [09:53] Load GParted and mark the Ubuntu partition bootable [09:54] hey ppl c'mon! who uses emuexec? [09:54] can i have some help.. when i use youtube.com i get no sound [09:54] ComKid: I certainly hope that's not the case. [09:54] hello everyone [09:54] it was in a state I had to force restart it by holding down the power button [09:54] ComKid: But when you mentioned that it worked before from GRUB but didn't later... that kind of worried me. [09:55] And I'll be right back. [09:55] yah, the first time it took a long time to load, the second time it didn't load anymore [09:55] ne 1 [09:56] Okay [09:56] welcome back? [09:56] taqim [09:57] taqim [09:57] ComKid: Once you mark the Ubuntu partition as bootable in GParted, try rebooting and seeing if GRUB will load [09:57] can ne1 help me with the sound on youtube [09:57] okay.. [09:57] waiting for Gparted to give me controls [09:57] ComKid: It should, but I want to make sure we repair the Ubuntu part first [09:58] hai kmu siapa namanya [09:58] Brad7200: it's a known problem with Flash plugin, try installing the Flash player 10 beta, after removing libflashsupport and ndiswrapper, instructins are at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 (part B) [09:58] thanx [09:58] I have a feeling XP is corrpt now.. glad I imaged it [09:58] only thing is it'll take 3 hours to restore the image [09:58] acn anyone tell me how to change the root password? [09:58] ComKid: That is a distinct possibility. [09:58] ...well.. there's a plus, Gparted no longer has XP marked as corrpt [09:58] Well, that's good. [09:59] whats the command to remove libflashsupport and ndiswrapper [09:59] setting boot flag.. [09:59] If it's not corrupted, then it's just possible that you don't have a boot.ini file set up [09:59] Brad7200: sudo apt-get remove libflashsupport nspluginwrapper [09:59] thanx [09:59] And I don't recall the command to automatically rebuild that. [10:00] Brad7200: my mistake, it's not ndiswrapper but nspluginwrapper [10:00] kol [10:01] while I did the fixboot and fixmbr I also checked bootcfg /list it has a proper XP entry in it [10:01] hmm [10:01] cant find nspluginwrapper [10:01] hello all [10:01] rebooting [10:02] drash: it cant find nspluginwrapper [10:02] umm.. [10:02] Brad7200: means it wasn't installed , that's a good thing in this case [10:02] No GRUB? [10:02] kk [10:02] 'Error loading operating system' I got that instead of GRUB [10:02] ... [10:02] Great. [10:02] Just great. [10:02] .... any other wounderful ideas? [10:02] i have question. is there a better driver for my wireless linksys dongle than rt73usb [10:02] who the hell said installing Linux is easy? [10:02] Brad7200: next step --> wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14629821/flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.1.218ubuntu1_i386.deb [10:03] dex: awesome, it works now [10:03] dex: thx [10:03] ComKid: All I can suggest is to try changing your boot order back to what it originally was and seeing if that works. [10:03] np [10:03] in the original order, GRUB never started [10:03] ComKid: Yeah, well, GRUB isn't what's important at the moment. We need to see if XP is corrupted. [10:03] jerkface03: everytime you run with the problem of something not being installed [10:03] just use apt-get install [10:04] * ComKid sighs [10:04] changing boot order back....again.. [10:04] GRUB should start even if XP is corrpt [10:04] Yeah, it should. [10:04] I'm not sure why it didn't. [10:04] it said error loading operating system [10:04] no GRUB at all [10:04] Brad7200: and the last one --> sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_10.0.1.218ubuntu1_i386.deb [10:04] hey my laptop got a problem with wifi [10:05] Because I recently accidentally wiped out my Vista install and was able to get GRUB back by marking that as the bootable partition. [10:05] drash: it wont install [10:05] ComKid: It's easier to install when you're only dealing with one disk or with PATA. [10:05] Brad7200: that last command came back with an error ? [10:06] the file you got me to dl didnt work [10:06] 'Windows could not start because the follow file is missing or corrpt \system32\hal.dll [10:06] That's a lie. [10:06] comkid what installation method did you use... live demo then install or straight install or ??? [10:06] Kurtis, this technicaly is only one disk [10:06] all partitions are on the same disk [10:06] live demo install [10:06] ComKid: Yeah, well, you have other disks in there confusing it. [10:06] I'm trying to get nm-applet to let me use more than 1 network interface at a time (ethernet and wifi) [10:07] But I disconnect the ethernet often [10:07] ComKid: Okay, get your XP disc again. [10:07] Kurtis, we figured out which hard drive is drive 0 to set at the top of the boot order [10:07] and the ethernet is just to make NAS go faster [10:07] what do you want me to do this time? [10:07] Brad: might be that you need to be registered on ubuntuforums.org, better do it from that page i gave you after registering (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900) [10:07] comkid try running the cd for ubuntu and then clckin install. then go in and manually delete partitions [10:07] (ie, connected to nothing) [10:07] dpkg: error processing flashplugin-nonfree (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing:flashplugin-nonfree [10:07] ComKid: And be sure you rebuild the boot.ini file [10:07] re write the master boot record in this boot order?? [10:07] No. [10:07] drash: [10:07] ComKid: The hal.dll error is almost always a lie. [10:08] somebody pls help me out with my wifi problem?? [10:08] Kurtis, I'm sure the boot thing was correct, I read the bootcfg /list entriy [10:08] entry* [10:08] Brad7200, you should install the package with apt-get, not from a direct install [10:08] comkid after that click BACK and istall using first option. [10:08] ok [10:08] anyway, now you can install the missing dependencies with: sudo apt-get install -f [10:08] bigdaddy, it'll take me 3 hours to reimage XP again [10:09] ComKid: Well, I'm sorry that that didn't work. === ryanda is now known as Ryanda [10:09] From my experience, it should have. [10:09] okay.. I'm elimiminateing one issue now.. I'm unplugging all my drives except my first one [10:09] I've been in similar circumstances. [10:09] has everyone seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7pPajOvQGo&feature=related [10:09] isnt xfce supposed to be less of a resource hog than gnome? [10:10] xgl and xorg are using 96% of my cpu [10:10] just give me a few minutes to unplug these drives [10:11] Mr_Bad_News: xgl? you mean xserver-xgl? [10:11] While he's doing that... anyone know how to get a Broadcom 4311 rev 2 wireless NIC to work? [10:11] xgl [10:11] how do i get xfce to use compiz? [10:11] Mr_Bad_News: well that's xgl's fault... not xfce's really [10:12] that it's using so much cpu [10:12] it went down [10:12] could someone tell me how to do a filesystem check? The Ubuntu installation on my internal hard drive keeps asking me for the root password or control d to continue. I tried typing the password but it won't accept it. [10:12] i turned the opacity off [10:12] so how do i get compiz to use xfce instead of gnome [10:12] Mr_Bad_News: you can create a startup program that runs compiz --replace [10:12] Gamesmedic: There is no root password set by default. [10:12] Gamesmedic: there shouldn't be a root password set [10:13] Mr_Bad_News: although for the moment you might try running compiz --replace on your own [10:13] Gamesmedic: iirc at that point you can just tap return [10:13] Gamesmedic: and Crtl + d ?? [10:13] erUSUL: skips fsck [10:13] ok Ademan thanks [10:13] Mr_Bad_News: I have to question why you'd want to use Compiz with Xfce if the whole reason you're using Xfce is for it to be less resource-intensive. [10:13] hi i have a unique problem .. earlier when i have this usb bluetooth donge thing that let me control my media player thru my cell phone .. like a remote .. i cant seem to get that working on ubuntu .. i can pair device and file transfer but cant control totem or volume etc does anyone have a solution to this ?? [10:13] help me with my wifi connection.. [10:14] What would be a good program to connect to my wireless modem? [10:14] so i can use compiz Kurko [10:14] I tried just pressing enter and it tells me invailid logon [10:14] Gamesmedic: try rebooting to recovery mode [10:14] Gamesmedic: what do you want to do [10:14] Mr_Bad_News: Wrong person, but Compiz isn't exactly resource-friendly. [10:14] how do you restart inetd so that changes to inetd.conf can take effect? [10:15] other than rebooting [10:15] is there a way? [10:15] jerkface03: kill -HUP (or kill 1) or use the init script [10:15] i know thats why i want to use it with a desktop enviorment that uses the least amount of resources [10:15] I'll try again and get back to ya'll [10:15] i cant ping from my laptop [10:15] Mr_Bad_News: get the desktop working - then worry about compiz [10:15] or sudo inetd -c [10:16] can I use alternate ubuntu8.04 to upgrade from 7.10 [10:16] hi all, I'd like to use debconf-set-selections to pre-seed the debconf database with answers. But how can I retrieve/extract the questions that the .deb file will ask me? [10:16] Is there a program that scans for wifi? [10:16] i got it working ikonia [10:16] okay, only the main hard drive in there now, it was the one I thought it was [10:17] Mr_Bad_News: great, so whats the problem [10:17] daya, do you want to go from 8 to 7, or 7 to 8? o.O [10:17] nothing i wanted to know how to get compiz and xfce together [10:17] Mr_Bad_News: have you installed compiz ? [10:17] ComKid: I guess you should make sure that a proper boot.ini file is there [10:17] yes [10:17] pointing to the very first partition [10:17] sparky_, I have to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04 [10:18] i got it working i just didnt know how to get xfce to run it [10:18] hallo........ [10:18] Mr_Bad_News: you'll need to use the 7.10 instructions and hack them [10:18] im done [10:18] Mr_Bad_News: your done ? [10:18] i can't understand [10:18] I'm going to do fixmbr and fixboot again, and I'll do bootcfg /list to make sure [10:18] what's done? [10:18] yep [10:18] just a question, since im very new to ubuntu is cedega worth while? [10:18] looks tight [10:18] Mr_Bad_News: what do you mean ? [10:18] bigdaddy0522: depends on your needs [10:19] xfce + compiz is working [10:19] ... anyone know where they've moved the "Install a networked printer" to on hardy? [10:19] sparky_, I have used alternate cd for 7.04 to 7.10, and can I used 8.04 alternate to upgrade to 8.04 [10:19] Mr_Bad_News: oh, sorry, I thought you couldn't get it woring [10:19] wew? [10:19] working [10:19] daya, I believe there's a link somewhere on Ubuntuforums.org about it === yacc_ is now known as yacc [10:19] sparky_, ok I will search it, [10:19] daya, try http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [10:19] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/189476 [10:19] Launchpad bug 189476 in ubuntu "Broadcom 4311 wireless not working in Compaq F572" [Undecided,Confirmed] [10:20] ikonia ill be in iraq and want to play some games such as warhammer 40k dark crusade and some other games not released for linux. i know wine will emulate windows but i have read that cedega will play the games out of the box. [10:20] just wanted to know how much truth was there. [10:20] Son of a... [10:20] bigdaddy0522: there is some truth [10:20] bitch [10:20] bigdaddy0522: it can play some games out of the box [10:20] GreeN_gURL: stop that now please. [10:20] Kurko, do you by any chance know if there's a program that scans for wireless connections? [10:20] GreeN_gURL: what is the problem/question ? [10:20] ... anyone know where they've moved the "Install a networked printer" to on hardy? [10:20] ikonia is it worth the 15 dollars they charge for member fees? [10:21] I've got a wireless modem and I can't figure out how to put it to a use with my laptop ;/ [10:21] bigdaddy0522: if you have $15 free, go for it [10:21] You talking about cedega bigdaddy0522, or was my guess off? [10:21] sparky_: Was that addressed to me? I assume so since Kurko is idle [10:21] describe [10:21] GreeN_gURL: what ? "Do you have an ubuntu related question" ? [10:21] Kurtis-, I'm sorry for the tab abuse :/ [10:21] ikonia another question i had was is there a better driver than rt73usb for wireless...just seems soooo slow. my adapter is capable of 54 im only getting 5 [10:21] But yes, it was to you [10:22] sparky_: My wireless network adapter apparently won't work with Ubuntu 8.04 [10:22] bigdaddy0522: realtek make their own, but if it's better is up to your view [10:22] stevethepirate GREAT NAME! and yes we was talking of cedgega. [10:22] sparky_: So no, I really can't answer you [10:22] Goodie! Well thank you, I guess I'll just wait for them to fix that [10:22] i use linksys adapter just want the best drivers for it cuz its incredibly slow atm [10:23] Though in the future, what should I be looking for? I'm assuming you had it working on the Gutsy version [10:23] bigdaddy0522: Like, I've used both cedega and wine.. cedega is great.. I wouldn't know if it was worth the $15... but its saved me a lot of time... [10:23] how can i find out my disk size in ubuntu via the terminal? [10:23] ikonia do you have a link for better wireless drivers? [10:23] bigdaddy0522: my personal view is to use the ones in the kernel [10:23] sparky_: Actually, no, I didn't. I had it working in Debian... [10:23] steve, Excellent i will have to check it out [10:23] Though on a different but similar laptop... [10:23] Debian's KDE, isn't it? [10:23] $%@# [10:24] Debian is what Ubuntu is based off of. [10:24] I need to extract individual frames from an MNG animation. I could do it in gimp, separating each layer into an individual PNG, but I would much prefer a one-step method. Can you help? [10:24] ikonia: Any idea where they hid the Install a networked printer" wizard in hardy? [10:24] KDE is just the default desktop environment in Debian [10:24] Well yeah, that's what I meant [10:24] ikonia ok thanks for the tip. i have so much love for ubuntu atm. i formatted my drives after using the live disc...wont go back to xp....though i have to use it on my laptop, cant get the drivers to work for bcm43xx [10:25] soundray: Open the file in VLC and you, I _think_ export each frame as a jpeg [10:25] [under 'save' tab] [10:25] I honestly have to wonder if it's got anything to do with the kernel. Hardy doesn't have the latest kernel in the repositories. [10:25] kurtis, I did fixboot, then fixmbr, and did bootcfg /rebuild I rebooted and I get "NTLDR is missing" [10:25] * Kurtis- jawdrops [10:25] ComKid: [10:25] ComKid: you're better off doing a repair install [10:26] ComKid: I've got that as well... Was aan incorrect setting on grub... looking at the wrong HDD [10:26] you're on the right track now [10:26] you have to put the [10:26] NTLDR file on your base driver on windows. [10:26] for instance, on C: i got [10:26] tech, where is 'repair install' I never found that option for XP [10:26] 02/01/2005 02:45 PM 250,048 NTLDR [10:26] i've recently made a kernel, however the initrd image is huge compared to stock kernels [10:27] Stevethepirate: vlc won't open the MNG. Should I try to convert it to an animated GIF? [10:27] ...how do I do that Dex? [10:27] the "NTLDR is missing" error happens when that "NTLDR" file doesn't exist [10:27] on the partition driver you are booting. [10:27] ComKid: press enter on Welcoem to Setup, F8 on the license, proceed to install windows [10:27] Yes. [10:27] But it might not exist on (hd0,0) [10:27] It might be on (hd0,1) [10:27] that'll do a full install and wipe out the old install completely, not repair [10:28] dex: doesnt always happen that way...NTLDR is caused by alot of things [10:28] well, sure. [10:28] Stevethepirate: apparently not -- vlc won't open a gif animation, either [10:28] It looks for ntldr on the partition specified but grub. [10:28] ComKid: Listen to tech0007 [10:28] soundray: Hmmm... Maybe wine media player classic.. [10:28] you're right. [10:28] soundray: I've done a similar thing for avi's... [10:28] .....then what do you suggest tech2007? [10:28] tech 0007* [10:28] soundray: mplayer should play gifs [10:29] rsk: I'm looking to separate the frames of an animation [10:29] ComKid: repair install of XP, though you shld be wary if you have data on it [10:29] I tried fixmbr, I tired fixboot, I even tried rebuilding the boot.ini [10:29] rsk: or to save all the layers of a GIMP image into separate files (but in one go) [10:29] on other words, I have to redo my image AGAIN which takes 3 hours..

Clicking the icon just starts 3.0 RC2. [10:32] Jockeo: the icon is linked [10:32] selocol: Just as an experiment, wait longer. It may be that you have a LOT of files in your trashcan, and it is trying to sort them for you or something. Not much of a theory, I know :-) [10:32] ill try that steve. [10:32] Jockeo: you need to mnually re-do any links that reference firefox [10:32] Jockeo: or you could wait for ubuntu to release the fully supported package [10:32] kauer: i already emptied the trash can using another file manager so it should be empty [10:32] sorry, it is my first time to use xchat. i thought it was a chatting room...

[10:34] ikonia: ok I get it, I'll look for that one then. [10:34] Jockeo: see soundray's comment [10:34] kauer: not only is it frozen it's using 100% of my CPU now as seen in htop.. [10:34] bigdaddy0522: Normally internet speed being bad.. is a problem of your internet.. not linux [10:35] kauer: i'm pretty sure it's messed up. should i reinstall it? [10:35] ikonia and soundray: Typing firefox-2 in the command windowd doesn't work, and I cannot find a file called firefox-2 when I search my file system [10:35] Jockeo: 'sudo apt-get install firefox-2' [10:36] steve, normally i would agree but its weird that linux is only allowing the network adapt. to run at 5Mbps instead of 54 [10:36] selocol: 100% CPU and hammering the hard disk is not "frozen", it's "very busy". Give it a chance to sort itself out. [10:36] kauer: alright i'll give it a try thanks [10:37] Any reason y bluetooth fails?

[10:39] dex: right right, i'm not too sure what value to change tho. right now it's letting me read anything without asking for a password [10:39] i don't have samba installed =\ [10:39] steve its only going at like 300bps ...... [10:39] otherwise i'd help you [10:39] ikonia: The binary from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html [10:39] is using the add/remove feature always that slow. [10:40] Jockeo: thats potentially a problem then, the binary may have been overwritten by that install [10:40] Jockeo: where did you extract it? [10:40] Jockeo: (potentially) [10:40] tech0007: In a folder on my desktop [10:40] jerkface03: [10:40] open samba.conf [10:40] and look for the drive you're sharing [10:40] and look if it has a line saying 'guest ok = yes' [10:40] if so, change it to no. [10:41] Jockeo: try 'firefox' in terminal...you should still have the ff from ubuntu [10:41] and restart samba [10:41] tech0007: That started ff 3.0 RC2. [10:41] Jockeo: did u change the symlinks to firefox? [10:42] Can someone tell me the command for sed to strip all but the last four characters? [10:43] Jockeo: if ff3rc2 is on your desktop, it's executed by doing '~/Desktop/firefox/firefox' [10:43] the firefox3 is not firefox3p5, that makes some of add-ons don't work. [10:43] tech0007: Didn't change symlinks manually, but I ran the following files in the extracted folder: "firefox" and "run-mozilla.sh". [10:44] Jockeo: whats the output of 'which firefox'? [10:44] /usr/bin/firefox [10:45] Jockeo: that shld point to your ubuntu ff [10:45] tech0007: not if he's run the installer from mozilla.org [10:45] Jockeo: try 'mv .mozilla .mozilla.bak' then run 'firefox' [10:46] Jockeo: you could do 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox', but that would disable firefox-3 [10:46] soundray: i think the files' a tar.bz from mozilla [10:46] tech0007: I don't know if this helps, but that directory doesn't seem to exist ( /usr/bin/firefox ) I can't do cd /usr/bin/firefox [10:46] tech0007: which he unpacked and installed on his system, clobbering ff2 [10:46] Jockeo: it's not a directory [10:47] soundray: ah ok [10:47] Jockeo: how did u install ffrc2? did u just extract it? [10:47] Jockeo: by Ubuntu's default, it is a wrapper script that launches firefox. [10:47] I will try soundrays advice to do 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox'. It's ok if it disables FF 3.0 RC2. [10:47] Jockeo: that's the best way then. [10:48] Jockeo: i second soundray's suggestion [10:48] tech0007: I extracted it and executed the following files in the extracted folder: "firefox" and "run-mozilla.sh". [10:48] Jockeo: consider upgrading to hardy -- it lets you use both ff2 and ff3 [10:48] Jockeo: ok, i also have ff3rc2 but i jst extracted it in my home dir [10:49] soundray and tech0007. Reinstalling ff now, let's see if it does the trick [10:50] Is there a way to save all layers of a GIMP image into separate files in one go? [10:52] anyone here using an asus p5b deluxe mobo? [10:53] hey guys i was wondering if anyone knew how a hard drive being encrypted effected ubuntu's ability to boot live [10:53] soundray, tech0007 and ikonia: It worked to reinstall 2.0, and I'll wait for 3.0 RTM release. Thanks a lot for helping! Do you happen to know a good book about Linux or Ubuntu for users switching from Windows? [10:54] Many "simple" things such as symlinks and terminal commands are quite difficult when you're switching from Windows. [10:54] jockeo: you can always use the open source root book [10:55] jockeo: i think thats the name of it just do an apt-get install of root book(i believe) and its a pdf pretty good read [10:55] Jockeo: i jst learned from the man pages :) [10:55] Jockeo: also look at these useful beginner docs (pm from ubottu) [10:55] !cli > Jockeo [10:55] !faq > Jockeo [10:55] Jockeo : ubuntu linux toolbox [10:55] oddtod: i have same question with you. [10:56] Does someone know how to get sed to strip all but the last four characters? [10:56] oddtod: the Desktop CD boots completely independently of the hard disk [10:57] hello [10:57] soundray: thats what i thought but its really not liking this hdd, because if i remove it it boots just fine, if its in it locks up [10:57] Thanks for your suggestions. zvacet: you mean this one: http://www.amazon.com/Ubuntu-Linux-Toolbox-Commands-Debian/dp/0470082933 ? [10:57] Jockeo : http://search.atomz.com/search/?sp-q=ubuntu&sp-a=sp1000a5a9&sp-f=ISO-8859-1&sp-t=general&sp-x-1=cat&sp-q-1=&sp-x-2=cat2&sp-q-2=&sp-c=25&sp-p=all&sp-k=Articles%7CBooks%7CConferences%7COther%7CWeblogs&c=&p=&query=ubuntu&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 [10:57] having problems with LDAP here. i can getent passwd with correct results but su wont work [10:58] Jockeo :yes [10:58] enc_: channel #sed might be better [10:58] oddtod: Can't find any info on "root book" [10:58] anyone knows how to install mono, mod_mono without installing php5? Using ubunutu 8 [10:58] FrauHansen: is pam authing against ldap [10:58] mmoscosa: don't break package dependencies [10:58] feng: what wasyour question? [10:58] What do I need to be using to spin down (and keep spun down) my noisy harddisk. It's one of them. I want to keep the root disk alive. [10:59] ikonia, the /var/log/auth.log shows "failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://141.3.78.1: Invalid credentials" [10:59] is it safe to remove gcc, make, and other devel packages from hardy? [10:59] FrauHansen: ok, so thats not a user auth issue, thats the "root" ldap account not being able to find to the server [10:59] hello, i do i tempoarily turn off the automatic mount of usb sticks upon pluggin in ? [10:59] jockeo: do an apt-cache search book [10:59] tech0007: they are not installed by default, so sure [10:59] tech0007: it's safe. Is it because you're short of space? [11:00] there should be something in there that starts with a R if i recall right [11:00] ikonia: so.. i have php5 running, so apt-get install mono mono-xsp2 mono-apache-server2 libapache2-mod-mono is the way? [11:00] oddtod: i have to leave for a meal. see you later [11:00] mokka: seems a solid way [11:00] soundray: kindof haha [11:00] feng: what was your question? [11:00] Why my alt-tab stopped working? And Windows-L also does not lock my keyboard anymore? [11:00] (This happened soon adter upgrading to Hardy...) [11:00] ikonia, any hint where to start looking for a solution? i have full acces to the machine running the LDAP server [11:00] tech0007: there are probably larger packages that you can remove -- old kernels perhaps [11:00] FrauHansen: how did you setup pam to use ldap [11:01] oddtod: file encryption which is a new feature in hardy. i am concerning about its performance. [11:01] tech0007: 'sudo apt-get autoclean' is a good one [11:01] ikonia: soundray; is there a metapackage for these devel apps? can they be removed by group [11:01] tech0007: yes -- if you installed them via the metapackage. It's build-essential [11:01] ikonia, on the client? well i changed 4 files in /etc/pam.d/ [11:01] feng: the perfrmance drop isn't much at all its something really small. i'm having issues with booting cd's though i think its the section of disk i have encrypted though [11:01] soundray: i keep at least 2 kernel versions, the -17 and -18 [11:02] A friend of mine is having problems with his sound after having just upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy. The hardware is nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio. what should he do? [11:02] please help [11:02] oddtod: Maybe you mean this one: Linux: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition, an online book ? [11:02] FrauHansen: check the ldap to logs to find out why it's failing to bind [11:02] ikonia, i followe this guide: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/LDAP_Client_Authentifizierung [11:02] jockeo: there you go i knew it had the sound of root in there [11:02] thanks :) [11:02] jockeo: sorry my memory is bad [11:03] tech0007: to see the largest packages installed, do a 'ls -srS /var/cache/apt/archives | tail' [11:03] ikonia, on the client or the server? [11:03] FrauHansen: server [11:03] hi [11:03] oddtod: no problem I found it. [11:04] Jockeo : you can download pdf version of that book [11:04] jockeo: yeah it even gets down into the hardware of machines which is kinda cool for someone who is completely unfamiliar with computers [11:04] oddtod? really? did you do some benchmark on the encrypted file reading and writing? of course, i have little inside knowledge of the encryption feature. but if it is full text gzip, the performance will be decreased a lot. [11:04] zvacet: I'll look for it [11:04] ikonia, there is only /var/log/ldapscripts.log that seems relevant in /var/log...is that enough? [11:04] FrauHansen: nothing in messages ? [11:04] soundray: ls -srS /var/cache/apt/archives | tail <- these are the packages in that dir only right? [11:05] tech0007: that dir is your package cache. After apt-get autoclean, it only holds packages that are currently installed on your system. [11:05] oh no its not full text gzip its really low level and i didnn't do a performance test(might want to though) but just have been reading about and its not a dramatic performance loss [11:05] ikonia, cat massages | grep ldap is giving no results [11:05] tech0007: so it's something of an indication what's taking up space. [11:05] soundray: ok [11:06] FrauHansen: try grep LDAP [11:06] or grap -i ldap [11:06] grep === adam is now known as Guest59079 [11:06] oddtod: Sounds good [11:06] I have to do Super-Tab to switch between Wiondows now. It used to be Alt-Tab. Keyboard prefereences still says it is Alt-Tab, and has no reference to Super key (Windows key)... [11:06] nothing :( [11:06] I've found the Ubuntu problem of aggressive power mamangement for hardrives. My prob is I can't spin them down at all. Should I just install all the laptop / apm packages ? I'm using a desktop system. [11:07] FrauHansen: try messages (not massages) [11:07] anybody can help me with this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5141551#post5141551 ? [11:07] last entrys of today are stupid ---MARK--- [11:07] soundray, whats the difference? [11:08] one is what a hooker gives you and one is what your voice mail gives you [11:08] FrauHansen: a message is information transported from a sender to a receiver. A massage is kneading muscles.

[11:13] ikonia, could it be that the supposed ldap-admin somehow got lost (its an old grown ldap-server) [11:14] boubbin: ffmpeg only needs one line to invoke it. if you think it's hard to use, try avidemux instead. however ffmpeg supports more formats than avidemux [11:14] I am having a problem related to shutdown button. It hangs up even now and then. [11:14] ikonia, and now everybody uses rootbinddn: cd=admin and can't connect? [11:14] magnetron yeah, maybe i relay top the man page then. i need command line support [11:15] ikonia, cd=cn [11:15] boubbin: that's probably the best [11:15] I have a dude.

[11:28] soundray: that would certainly be fastest but it does mean I've got more to maintain if the path changes.

Looking for help with an USB device that doesn't show as /dev/ttyUSB*... [11:57] hi, when i restart X by ctrl+alt+backspace, it fails to log me back in. also no login sound is played. so when X starts to go looney i have to restart my pc. could it be my hardware? [11:57] Bollinger, have you checked the system logs for any hints ? [11:57] .... [11:58] BoltClock, unlikely to be hardware, maybe stop gdm so you can log into a console? [11:58] Squawk: gdm? [11:59] My remote control receiver shows in lsusb but I've got no ttyUSB* in /dev [11:59] BoltClock, the display manager, hang on I might have forgotten its name, sec [12:00] BoltClock, probably gdm but not definitely, might be xdm. currently not booted into ubuntu so I can't check [12:00] 安 [12:00] Shade_: this suggests that no driver is loaded. Run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' and see what messages are generated in the log while you plug the receiver in. [12:00] ubuntu: /join #ubuntu-tw [12:00] Squawk: aw. well im really new to ubuntu... [12:01] How do I label a partition in Hardy? e2label isnt available [12:01] hi. i'm trying to send mails using ssmtp but does not seems to work. do i have to install some other packages? [12:01] kahrytan, i use the tune2fs program for that [12:01] BoltClock, k probably not the best option then as I presume you will not be happy working from command line anyway. Hmm [12:01] how do i open and read a file line by line in a shell script? [12:01] soundray> ubuntu: /join #ubuntu-tw....... [12:01] saltedlight, have you checked postfix's log ? [12:01] kahrytan: tune2fs -L [12:01] kahrytan: it is in the e2fsprogs package [12:01] soundray: Sounds about right. USBView shows the device in red.

[12:02] Hello all [12:02] Squawk: well the while read line is the interesting part or is taht really the syntax? [12:02] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18707/ [12:02] dr_Willis, Well, not under it's own name [12:02] hi [12:02] !find tune2fs [12:02] joaopinto, from a drupal site [12:03] File tune2fs found in e2fsprogs, manpages-hu, manpages-it, manpages-ja, manpages-ko (and 3 others) [12:03] remoteCTRL, thtsa it I think [12:03] BoltClock: see if you can log in in text mode after hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2 -- then try 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' [12:03] soundray: So the driver is the one supposed to create ttyUSB files? That explains it. [12:03] BoltClock, hmm, I would need to boot to ubuntu to check exactly, but have a read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=349517 [12:03] does ubuntu have a cd burner which can split into volumes? [12:03] soundray: and how do i get back? [12:03] soundray: But I've seen no references to a VLSystem MPlay Blast driver online, from online instructions it seemed as if the device should just be there... [12:03] Can someone give me a step-by-step guide to compile the Linux kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES on ? because on my Ubuntu distro ( Hardy heron ), i can't use the setcap command :-/ [12:03] Shade_: please pastebin your lsusb output as well [12:04] saltedlight, have you set the smtp server on the php.ini file ? [12:04] BoltClock: to switch back to the graphics console, use Ctrl-Alt-F7 -- but the gdm restart command should take you there automatically [12:04] or is there a patch to turn CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES on ? [12:04] joaopinto, yes: /usr/sbin/ssmtp [12:05] The-Seiman, you mean something like apparmor or selinux? [12:05] Squawk: gosh, you cozuld be right indeed... thanks mate [12:05] SaLoMoN, hum ? I am refering to the server, not to a binary [12:05] erm, i meant saltedlight [12:05] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18708/ [12:05] well I just wan't to give a specific program the permission to create a SOCK_RAW [12:06] remoteCTRL, that are other ways othert than cat | read, thats just the first thing that came to my head. Ask in #bash if you want a better answer [12:06] but I need to do sudo setcap cap_net_raw=ep /path/to/the/app [12:06] joaopinto, i'm not sure i understand... where should that be? [12:06] The-Seiman, I dout that you need to rebuild the kernel to get such ability.. [12:06] soundray: It's the Cygnal one. [12:06] hello everyboddy [12:07] and setcap can't work if CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES is not on [12:07] did anyone know how i can install driver ? [12:07] so how to rebuild the kernel and get that option on ? [12:07] AwaDoV: hi, you need to be more specific [12:07] soundray: ok, so next time X goes looney i do that instead of restarting X directly? [12:07] !kernel | The-Seiman [12:07] The-Seiman: 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 [12:07] i can't use any 3d on the desktop [12:07] hi.is there any tutorial how to make hardy heron play dvd movies?

[12:08] ... [12:08] ... [12:08] ... [12:08] ubuntu_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:08] The-Seiman: ubottu is a bot [12:09] The-Seiman: it's usually not necessary [12:09] a [12:09] then how can I give a program the permission to create a SOCK_RAW without rebuilding the kernel ? [12:10] poopuser: this is not really my place to say this, and this will be the only such comment I make, but why do you use such an undignified nick? It does not reflect well upon you and it is like wearing dirty clothes to a professional meeting. [12:10] ubuntu_, stop that. [12:10] Shade_: sorry, I can't find any hint on the web of your device being supported. Which URL has the instructions you were using? [12:11] soundray: next time X goes looney i do what you said instead of restarting X directly? [12:11] Squawk: even better, thanks mate! [12:11] dear emma it's not place or time for discussing nicknames [12:11] high [12:11] * emma shrugs [12:11] BoltClock: if it worked, then yes, that's what you can do. Still, it should relaunch automatically on Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, so something is still strange [12:12] My /tmp directory has suddenly changed to a capacity of 1MB when it should be a part of the root partition. When i us df -h I get the following for /tmp: [12:12] overflow 1.0M 800K 224K 79% /tmp [12:12] does anyone know how I can fix this problem? [12:12] poopuser: for what it's worth, I agree with emma [12:12] someone tried to run samba 4 on ubuntu? [12:12] soundray: yeah... what causes it to misbehave in the first place? (panels stop responding, terminal stops responding, nautilus freezes, etc, one by one) [12:13] BoltClock: you mean even before you hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? [12:13] 這裡有台灣人嘛？ [12:13] soundray: Actually, at this point I was just running standard lirc configuration [12:13] soundray: i do that precisely because it happens [12:13] koyanisqatsi [12:13] !cn | ubuntu [12:13] ubuntu: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:14] 您可以访问中文频道` [12:14] soundray: It asks for a driver ( I chose VLSystem MPlay ) and then for a /dev/ttyUSB* entry (but none exist) [12:14] Shade_: are you using a serial LIRC receiver on a USB-serial adapter?

From the name (Cygnal) I can see it's converting to serial [12:15] soundray: It occurs to me that mine is the external USB version, and the driver [12:15] Hello everyone! [12:15] Shade_: I see. I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help you. [12:15] soundray: seems to have been written for the OEM version included in the Zaiman case# [12:16] are the configuration files backward compatible, e.g if i add some share with nautilus-share [12:16] soundray: Thanks anyway. So the ttyUSB entries appear because the driver creates them? [12:16] Shade_: yes === ubuntu is now known as Taco [12:16] soundray: Thanks. That clears a lot, actually. Cheers [12:16] the problem is , samba 3. is slow, so samba 4 fixes some issues [12:17] BoltClock: I think you should run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' in a terminal window and see if those events are associated with any errors being logged. [12:17] tried to get 100gb of data from my server in a day the clients [12:17] BoltClock: launch this before the problem starts [12:17] so samba 4 can save a lot of time and bandwitdh [12:18] without going crazy [12:18] soundray: need me to pastebin its output? [12:18] BoltClock: not if you can make sense of it yourself [12:18] soundray: i cant [12:19] BoltClock: do you see something that looks like it's relevant, though?

[12:28] parker, You go LOOK at what it installed to learn the name of the command to use in the terminal.

[14:30] brubelsabs: from here on, you're ahead of me ;) [14:30] I've heard of the "prevu" script.. which runs through very nicely if I didn't specify the "--enable-ares" flag.

How did Windows get moved from the first partition to not the first partition? [16:38] ...... did you somehow tell ubuntu to use your windows partition as swap space?!? [16:38] cognatus, sorry.. then.. this is what i understood [16:38] eviltim: i know you say you installed the desktop cd but it sure sounds like you are using the alternative or server edition [16:38] When I install kubuntu-desktop , will that include the packages too? or do I need to log onto kde and install the packges manually? [16:38] ASULutzy sounds like he deleted a small recovery partition on an hp oe comapq [16:38] rdz, boot the windows CD, go to recovery console, type "fixboot" and "fixmbr", it will overwrite your grub boot loader, but thats okay, boot back into linux using the ubuntu CD, and then reinstall grub on your MBR [16:38] that should make windows boot again [16:38] ASULutzy, at the beginning there was just an emtpy 1.5GB at the beginning of the harddrive. i discovered that this space is not used and made a swap partition out of it [16:39] TecnoBrat, thanks a lot for the sugggestion.. i'll try that [16:39] rdz: Was it empty or was it a recovery partition? Hmmm, well maybe you could just "undo" making that swap... I'm not 100% sure, maybe someone else here can give better advice :P [16:39] ok [16:39] ASULutzy, i assume it was used for all the OEM preinstallation stuff [16:39] rdz by doing that you changed the partition description of all partitions after it +1 [16:39] rdz: But again, I wouldn't get too upset, at least your files are still there [16:39] I've done it a few times :P [16:39] when i enter dis "cat /etc/network/interfaces" answer comin like dis "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" what does means ? [16:39] ASULutzy, i am not upset at all. [16:39] rdz: Yea wait, when you go to grub have you tried just editing the boot line for Windows? [16:40] rdz: I had to manually change my Windows boot line from (1,0) to (3,0) because of something dumb I did/grub did [16:40] ASULutzy, i know, that i can fix it by removing the swap partition and making again just empty space there, but actually i would like to use those 1.5GB [16:40] when i enter dis "cat /etc/network/interfaces" answer comin like dis "auto lo iface lo inet loopback" what does means ? [16:40] ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386 [16:40] ASULutzy, windows gets confused internally when you change the number it used to have.

I think Jack_Sparrow mentioned isorecorder, Nero would work [16:45] yes but it's not [16:45] there's a great open source burner for windows [16:45] ok [16:45] i can't remember the name [16:45] thanks a lot guys [16:45] infrarecorder [16:45] cognatus: whats that?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [16:49] tu [16:49] drat [16:49] eviltim:i am dual booting vista| ubuntu [16:49] jtaylor13, that is totally not enough information. Did you check the logs? [16:49] on that topic... i'm trying to reinstall GRUB and getting "Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." does anyone have any ideas? [16:50] I'm triplebooting OSX, Vista and Ubuntu :) [16:50] Is it normal for the "Samba Shares" admin gui to just disappear after 7.10 upgrade? [16:50] technobrat: i ment to say. have a accer pc and the nividia drivers work in the kde desktop.but when i boot into gnome it says input not supported.any help? [16:50] wow TecnoBrat [16:50] cognatus, what are you doing exactly? [16:50] howd you do it? [16:50] Is your computer originally a mac or pc? [16:51] cognatus, type "find /boot/grub/stage1" [16:51] TecnoBrat: i was trying to move /home to its own partition, wound up messing things up so i just reinstalled ubuntu from the live cd i used originally. except i accidentally told it to install grub to (hd0) when i SHOULD have installed it to (hd2) [trust me, it IS hd2] [16:51] TecnoBrat: Error 15: File not found [16:52] :( [16:52] cognatus : reinstall grub [16:52] i'm trying grub-install but i get that error [16:52] how can i tell what /dev device is my built in modem? [16:52] Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [16:53] hmm its not accepting my cd [16:53] says "insert cd" [16:53] This has dissappeared after I upgraded from 7.10 to hardy "System -> Administration -> Shared Folders" [16:54] ;' [16:54] eviltim, make sure it's a blank cd :P [16:54] You tried doing "root (hd2,3)" <= change with your linux partition, and then "setup (hd2)"? [16:54] bmk789 its probaly /dev/modem [16:54] resume from hibernation asks for my password with automatic login, any workarounds or fixes for this??? [16:54] codecaine: doesnt exist [16:54] TecnoBrat: well, no, because the find command isn't working to begin with === movedx is now known as movEDX [16:55] how about ttys2 [16:55] Ok I have a external drive that wont mount any ideas? [16:55] oreomike: enter your password [16:55] ttyS2 [16:55] says:unsupported source drive type [16:55] magnetron: don't want to. SHared computer and I don't want to give out the password [16:55] cognatus : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#How_to_restore_GRUB_to_a_partition_or_MBR_with_an_Ubuntu_Live_CD [16:55] Anyone know another iso program? [16:55] codecaine: would it be 2? ive got 0-3 but isnt there a way i could be sure which number it is === angusb_ is now known as angusb === Uranellus is now known as Ur[a]nellus [16:56] oreomike: the auto-login user should not have admin rights [16:56] not sure [16:56] is there a app for ubuntu thats like netstumbler? nm-applet blows for seeing how strong a signal is or doing a site survey [16:56] MrNaz kismet [16:57] magnetron: in your network, sure, but at my house, I want a computer to auto-login every day without prompting for a password [16:57] Aha I see. [16:57] codecaine thanks/// [16:57] magnetron: so aside from the politics... [16:57] * MrNaz apt-gets [16:57] goto nautilus and right click into a folder, and vuala here is shared folders, like in windows! [16:57] np [16:57] Sorry for the dual post:but does anyone know any other iso burners? [16:57] eviltim : sorry but I just connected when your Cd is not accepted [16:57] np [16:57] eviltim: "cdrecord myiso.iso" [16:58] http://cdburnerxp.se/ = good [16:58] ill just test each ttyS* device until one dials [16:58] thanks [16:58] did you try that? [16:58] thanks [16:58] It says xp [16:58] im using vista [16:58] zvacet: "cdrecord myiso.iso" [16:58] will it work? [16:58] oreomike: yes, then you should disable the screen saver. but really, the everyday user account should not have admin capabilites. make a new user account that you auto-login too. [16:58] eviltim: what? [16:58] "cdburnerxp" [16:59] this is window help now ? [16:59] never mind,it works [16:59] eviltim: there is a small program from M$ that enables iso burning from explorer. [16:59] eviltim : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto is this what are you looking for [16:59] zvacet: Installation finished. No error reported. YES!!!!!!! [17:00] cognatus : good [17:00] Magnetron: 'Lock Screensaver when idol' is unchecked. I've also disabled the screensaver all together, but there is no way to have a screensaver and auto-login after hibernate? [17:00] oreomike, auto-login normal user + sudo .... its not politics, its being a smart admin. You stop yourself from being able to break things easily. [17:01] Tecnobrat: for a home computer that will display a calendar, I prefer the ability to sudo with my auto-login account [17:02] oreomike: you still can [17:02] yuuu [17:02] tecnobrat, if you want to break into my house, then sudo on my shared computer, I have bigger problems than just the sudo-part [17:03] tecnobrat: particularly I need a better lock on my front door. [17:03] oreomike: you are totally misunderstanding both of use [17:03] oreomike: *us [17:03] oreomike: YOU say that you don [17:04] I've nuked whole usr dirs before, cause I was logged in as admin, and didn't realize I was in the directory I was in :P [17:04] its just too easy when you don't have to sudo [17:04] oreomike: YOU say that you don't want your kids to be able to use sudo. then I say that you should give them their own account and make that an ordinary account [17:04] I still have to type sudo and enter a password to do any damage [17:05] hello... my question : is there a way to add a new user in the form of : name.surname ??? and to put that user administrator and other privialges .. this preferably from gui [17:05] What are you talking about oreomike [17:05] oreomike: and as a side effect, you can't use the screen saver. your "solution" doesn't really solve your problem, does it? [17:05] kjd-ro: System -> Admin -> Users & Groups [17:06] oreomike: if you want advice, be ready to listen. if you just want to carry on as usual, feel free to do so. [17:06] If I wasn't in the sudoers group, I could resume from hibernate without a password? [17:06] donsn't work, ps: using 8.04 [17:06] this file does not have a program associated with it.Set associations from the control panel [17:06] I cant find it in the control panel [17:06] It should work kjd-ro [17:06] kjd-ro: No idea if "." can be used in a username [17:06] remeber trying to ad in the form of: name.surname [17:06] when I try to burn the iso [17:06] magnetron: I understand your point, but I am just trying to solve the hibernate issue. I can startup from shutdown fine, but I can't startup from hibernate without typing my password [17:06] I need to fix this external drive which wont mount [17:07] it can be when using adduser --force-badname [17:07] but then i dont have privilages set up [17:07] magnetron: if it is due to my sudoers group membership, I can fix that. [17:07] says something about still in use in the log file idk? [17:07] oreomike: give your kids their own account with their own password. then you can give the password to their kids and allow to log in from hibernate - just give them their own password [17:07] kjd-ro: "." can not be used in a username [17:08] h4llo [17:08] magnetron: I think you are misunderstanding my need. I want a computer to boot up every day and display a calendar. With no user interaction [17:08] guyz i have a faveoure to ask of you again:can sobedy nice write me menu.lst entery for arch?this is data containing info bout partition holding instalation http://www.pastebin.org/42591.thank u in advance ; * [17:08] eviltim : if you are in ubuntu then burnere are under sound& video [17:08] rampage: yes it can ... and it works never had problems and i need to put it in that way [17:08] hi all [17:08] im using vista [17:08] magnetron: problem comes when someone hibernates instead of shutdown [17:08] eviltim what application did you install for burning? [17:08] ?? [17:08] eviltim : I don´t know anything about that never use it [17:08] which Java VM should I install if I just want the best performance and stability (I really don't care if it's closed source/proprietary) [17:09] found it [17:09] oreomike: i understand. and that account that should not be a sudoers account. also, you should give that password to everyone that uses that computer. [17:09] bjames suns [17:09] jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj [17:09] codecaine: cheers [17:09] igor11 [17:09] kjd-ro: well if you know it works, then it shouldn't be a problem for you [17:09] any idea where and how i could convince gnome ad user to use option --force-badname [17:09] magnetron: but that still breaks my ability to boot without user-interaction :-( [17:09] have to do it command line kjd-ro [17:09] oreomike: no. [17:09] not recommended though [17:10] igor11 [17:10] eviltim? [17:10] its bad for a reason [17:10] codecaine: and how do i manage all the privilages ? [17:10] igor11 [17:10] kjd-ro: "sudo adduser --force-badname name.surname" [17:10] perhaps kjd-ro [17:10] magnetron: before we continue, I'll reboot now to see if my user, not in sudoers, can boot without a password... [17:10] igorp12, '/nick igor11' [17:10] Rampage: yeah i know to do it cxommand line style, but then i dont have any privilag in the os [17:10] Hello guys, IU [17:10] you can do it command line to do man addusers to see all the commands [17:10] igor11 [17:10] man adduser [17:10] i'm rebooting as well. hopefully brb (crosses fingers) [17:11] kjd-ro: then you can;t do it [17:11] oreomike: you should set the auto-login account in the Login Screen settings [17:11] currently burning the iso! [17:11] kjd-ro: no root privs means you can;t do any admin functions [17:11] :D [17:11] adding a new user is an admin function kjd-ro [17:11] HAd to set the assotiation from the control panel [17:12] thanks a lot guys! [17:12] I'm new to Ubuntu.. but have stumbled upon a slightly problem.. I have a Dlink Air+, and it seams that the internet works now and then.. quite slow when using Firefox, and sometimes it takes forever to load a page? (I'm in Ubuntu right now, so internet works.. but very slow). Any ideas? [17:12] eviltim :wellcome [17:12] Which firefox does ubuntu come with? [17:12] kjd-ro: if you have no privilages in the OS there is no gui that will do anything for you [17:12] Firefox 3, beta 5 [17:12] eviltim : Hardy comes with FF3 beta [17:13] ok [17:13] ill upgrade to rc2 [17:13] let's put it in another way if i modify : /etc/adduser.conf -> NAME_REGEX, how can i specify that i want "." to work ? [17:13] Simple question: did evolution have an update today? [17:13] see you later [17:14] # check user and group names also against this regular expression. [17:14] #NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*\$" [17:14] ok,going to install ubuntu:brb! [17:14] i can't get my bcm-4318 wireless card working. anyone know how? [17:14] I have a problem. Ubuntu wiki suggested i should do "sudo update-rc.d -f linux-restricted-modules-common remove" for installing AR5007EG madwifi drivers, but now offcourse propr. ATI drivers don't get loaded any more [17:14] if you do any scripting on linux you will knokw that . in a user name will cause problems in the future [17:14] would it work for ex: if i : NAME_REGEX=".^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*\$" [17:15] does anybody have an idea on how solve this [17:15] i know, but what can i do.. i must make it so .. cause server conditions that others mantain... [17:16] hallo! i have installed the wrong xserver-xorg-video... server - please: how can i replace it by another one!? [17:16] !samba [17:16] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments.

Is there anyone whos used this nic card successfully [17:17] VSpike, mkdir /home/shared ; chmod 777 /home/shared [17:17] I know how to do it up to a point, but how do I make it so that if userA creates a file, userB can write to it? [17:17] how can i use bash and expect interpreters in the same script? [17:18] Sylphid|work, /join #bash [17:18] Sylphid|work, you can't, a script can only have one interpreter, however you can call an expect script from bash, or the way arround [17:18] has someone tried fscaps ? [17:19] joaopinto, thanks [17:19] I need help also ubuntu 7.10 recognizes everything on my computer but my phone modem doesnt work it doesnt create a /dev/modem path I tried downloading the correct one from linuxant.com and when I install it it says that I already have a version that is newer but I dont know what to do next [17:19] i need to replace the xserver-xorg-video-cirrus by the "intel" one - plaese help [17:19] tanaoa: i haev a similar problem. network manager finds all the networks but wont connect to any of them. [17:19] joaopinto: how do I make it so that if userA creates a file, userB can write to it? [17:19] apt search output: 'browser-history debian-history', which one should i get ? [17:19] net manager wont even display the networks in the area [17:20] my laptop (windows) see's about a half dozen .. so I know they are there [17:20] VSpike you can add them to a group or change the privs for everybody [17:20] or how can I allow a program to create raw sockets without being root please ? :/ [17:20] it displays everything on mine [17:20] ive installed the windows drivers ... the card 'works' as long as it doesnt loose the signal [17:20] Has anyone have any experience with a stardot wincam live? I had it working in Feisty then it quit and I've never been able to get it to work again. I ran it with Wine. Now, the camera can't communicate with the computer. [17:20] there is no "repair" function I have noticed [17:20] The-Seiman port over 6000 don't need root [17:20] Has anyone have any experience with a stardot wincam live? I had it working in Feisty then it quit and I've never been able to get it to work again. I ran it with Wine. Now, the camera can't communicate with the computer. [17:20] wats it mean when a process is using 178% cpu? [17:21] 60000 [17:21] donald_duck: you've got a multi-core machine :-) [17:21] but the ports used are below 60000 ... [17:21] ( 55XXX or something like that ) [17:21] to many people needing help by [17:21] hi guys. I'm just about to try installing 8.04, (Vista already installed). Just incase the install goes wrong, how easy is it to restore the vista bootloader? [17:21] The-Seiman, as far as I remeber raw sockets were restricted to root a long time ago, that is a security setting and I do not believe you can bypass it [17:21] i installed both, still no good [17:21] hello [17:21] tanaoa: what kind of chipset? [17:21] Greetings folks. I'm trying to install an Intel Pro 100/S Network Adapter on my Xubuntu machine but the drivers I downloaded from Intel will not compile. Does anyone have experience with this network interface? [17:21] can someone tell me if using wubi is a good idea. [17:22] Question: Can you use what in windows is called "repair" on a network connection (like restarting the connection)? [17:22] well the card says v4 so I assume its v4.0 and so its a Ralink RT2500 [17:22] codecaine: Is there any way to do it so that file created by one user is automatically writeable by another, without the creator or superuser having to modify permissions or ownership? [17:22] codecaine, that is not correct, root is required for port nrs <1024 [17:22] I tryed it like 3 times and all three times it didnt work would just freeze [17:22] David__: If you don;t want to create separate partitions then wubi is good [17:22] joaopinto, i think i can, but i need then to recompile the kernel and enable CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES [17:22] David__: it does however have its setbacks, read the wubi website for more info [17:22] and I don't know how to do that [17:23] VSpike, the user profile could use umask to set +w for the group, by default, however that will affect every file created by the user, not only the files from a specific dir [17:23] VSpike chmod 777 filename [17:23] tanaoa: sorry dude, mine is a broadcom card. i really have no idea. find the ralink irc room or a thread in the forums. [17:23] well, i want to use ubuntu first before I install....I burned a disc and tryed booting into linux off disc but it would just freeze [17:23] can pls someon help me out whit configuring NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9]*\$" to accept after some characters a point "." ? [17:23] David__: alternatively you could always create a new partition for ubuntu and install in there (dual boot with windows) [17:23] you think if i put the error code i was getting you can take a look at it for me [17:23] i think the forums are a way better place to post than this for such a specific weird problem [17:23] David I said 60000 [17:23] so, I have an edgy (6.10) system I'm trying to incrementally upgrade to the latest, but the first step (getting the upgrade manager up-to-date) fails because noone seems to be hosting the edgy packages any more (I get 404's in my apt-get update) -- any way around this? [17:23] and up [17:23] i'm here just cause i'm deserpate [17:23] what is 60000 [17:23] joaopinto: presumably you want to use the setgid bit on the public directory? [17:24] ;) no one is here for fun AMD [17:24] on ubuntu hardy heron, i have installed netbeans 6.0.1 from the repositories, i am starting to learn servlets so i was trying to install tomcat today, i found a tomcat plugin in the IDE plugins dialog, installed it, does it mean that tomcat has been installed already now, or will the plugin just help me to connect to my tomcat installation? [17:24] port number [17:24] i dont know what that means [17:24] VSpike, well, not setgid, you want to use umask 077 [17:24] do i got to change my ports or something [17:24] hehe don't worry about it :) [17:24] wasn;t that The-Seiman aksing that codecaine [17:24] ok [17:24] enterneo: probably just that netbeans has the ability to connect to tomcat, if tomcat is installed separately [17:24] how do I make evdev work after boot? my mouse can't be detected if I plug usb receiver after boot [17:24] no you dno' thave to I was explain how to use ports that don't require root access [17:25] no one has tried fscaps ? [17:25] The-Seiman, anyway, why do you need raw sockets for a regular user ? [17:25] well, many windows apps use raw sockets [17:25] how about this, how can I repair a disconnected WLAN connection in Ubuntu (like a windows network repair) ? [17:25] rickbradley: but netbeans 6.0 had bundled tomcat i assume? [17:25] joaopinto: what's the point in making the files group writeable if by default they will all have different groups? [17:25] taking down the port doesnt seem to do it [17:25] this is the error messege i was getting [17:25] /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: not found [17:25] and to make them work with wine, I need to allow wine to create raw sockets [17:25] init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for re-default :no such file or directory [17:25] init:rc -default main process (6863) terminated with status 255 [17:25] joaopinto: unless you set everyone's primary group to be the same [17:25] David__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:25] VSpike, not if you set all users to have the same primary group [17:25] enterneo: not sure. I would try firing up the tomcat connectivity and see what happens [17:25] that's usually the case with Win32 MMORPG's [17:26] joaopinto: setting setgid mean the files get the gid of the parent directory [17:26] very sorry floor bot [17:26] The-Seiman /join #winehq [17:26] Greetings folks. I'm trying to install an Intel Pro 100/S Network Adapter on my Xubuntu machine but the drivers I downloaded from Intel will not compile. Does anyone have experience with this network interface? [17:26] i mean floor [17:26] enterneo: you can also say: dpkg --list | grep -i tomcat [17:26] The-Seiman, mmorpgs should use regular sockets [17:26] The-Compiler, anyway, have you tried setting suid on wine ? (It is not safe) [17:27] so, to restate my question -- is there anything I can put in my edgy /etc/apt/sources.list file which will get me to a working repo of edgy packages so I can upgrade the update manager software so I can upgrade? [17:27] I've already asked on #winehq and they said that my distro is too user-friendly and needs a fresh compiled kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY_FILE_CAPABILITIES on . [17:27] rickbradley: ah!, does not show anything [17:27] is there anyway to change the default location of windows when the open? [17:27] *they [17:27] rickbradley: i assume then the netbeans in the repositories is not the netbeans with J2EE bundled [17:27] so that I can use sudo setcap cap_net_raw=ep /usr/bin/wine [17:27] Hi, is there any way to capture the sound that's coming out of my speakers to an audio file? I did some googling and apparently I need 'ALSA loopback support' - how can I check if I have this? [17:27] enterneo: I wouldn't know, but it sounds like "no" [17:28] Hey folks, I'm trying to set up a new monitor on my Hardy box, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg never prompts me for screen resolutions, or anything involving my monitor at all. My xorg.conf doesn't even have any Modes lines. [17:28] joaopinto: that advantage of that is that only files saved under that heirarchy are writeable to the public files group.. stuff in your home, for example, is writeable by your primary group which can include only you if desired [17:28] rickbradley: is tomcat in the ubuntu repositores? [17:28] Is my only option to hand-craft the xorg.conf? [17:28] rickbradley The short answer is no.. but I did see that someone still had a mirror up for that... If you have a full backup you can changes edgy in sources to feisty and try.. I will look to see if I can spot that odd mirror of old repos [17:28] Jack_Sparrow: many thanks [17:28] joaopinto: at least, that's the best i can come up with .. wanted to see if there was any better way to do it [17:28] dreadful_great check in gconf-editor under natulius [17:29] VSpike, dont think so [17:29] is my error messege /etc/init.d/rc: 317: sed: not found [17:29] I'm having a problem browsing samba (smb) shares. I get an error "can't display... there is no application installed for this file type"... this used to work. any idea what's going on or how I can fix it? [17:29] init: unable to execute "/bin/sh" for re-default :no such file or directory [17:29] codecaine: sweet, thanks [17:29] init:rc -default main process (6863) terminated with status 255 [17:29] np [17:29] enterneo: googling for ubuntu tomcat seems to turn up how-tos, so this looks like a "build it from source" operation, best I can tell [17:29] akahige: run in terminal "smbclinet -L //computername" see if this works or not [17:29] Someone wants me to SSH into their box and configure a program, but said program requires the usage of X, anyone know how, using PuTTY and Xming, I can forward the output to my [17:29] to my PC? [17:29] so, no one has tried to patch his kernel with fscaps ? [17:29] i meant smbclient [17:29] rickbradley: thanks! [17:29] how to enable wireless i acer 4520 [17:29] sorry if double posted i dont know if the flood bot let me other messeges go [17:29] Does anybody how to re-add what was removed by this command: "sudo update-rc.d -f linux-restricted-modules-common remove" ? [17:30] Netham45: in Putty there is an option on the left: SSH>X11 or something similar [17:30] then make sure Xming is running\ [17:30] Jack_Sparrow, rickbradley : there is an old.releases.ubuntu.com [17:30] joaopinto Thanks [17:30] joaopinto: thanks, I will check that out [17:30] unix file permissions are a bit limited compared to nt ones huh [17:30] ok, maybeway36. :) [17:30] but a lot less complicated i guess [17:30] I tried reinstalling the latest kernel, but the problem remains [17:30] VSpike no you have more advantages [17:30] im getting "iwlist scan" as No Scan Results [17:30] hello again [17:31] but ive used this card on a windows machine and it scans fine [17:31] my_key, mand update-rc.d , there should be an option to readd the link [17:31] maybeway36: I have a list of directories. one of which was the one I was trying to attach to [17:31] my_key: I think same again without the word "remove" on the end [17:31] good [17:32] so that worked [17:32] VSPike we been shoing you how to use them for with ocal numbers 1 is so the execute 2 write and read 4 you add the numbers you want to give those premssions [17:32] my_key: oops yeah lose the "-f" too [17:32] VSpike: tried that too, but to no avail [17:32] When I try to install it from the live cd,It says no root file system is specified.I choose whatever file system,but it still says no root system! [17:32] so 4+2 = 6; 6 will be for reading and writing [17:32] akahige: try Alt-F2, then type "smb://computername" [17:32] and if all else fails, konqueror would work, but that's kde [17:32] codecaine: can't find anything in gconf-editor that mentions window location or similar [17:32] will look into joaopinto 's suggestion :) [17:32] joaopinto It shows edgy in the top menu.. but none of the edgy repos are there [17:32] is there no region-free DVD player for linux?

Once you find out what partition it is just sudo mkdir /media/Windows then sudo mount /dev/thePartition [17:33] Mice: mkdir A;sudo mount /dev/xxx -t ntfs-3g A [17:33] im not on my desktopt so I can directly look at mine dreadful_great sorry [17:33] joaopinto Edgy isnt there [17:33] codecaine: that's cool, thanks [17:33] 6.10, and the hdd is /dev/hda1/ [17:33] #debian [17:34] ok :\ [17:34] codecaine: there's no way in unix to achieve the same without changing umask for all files written by the user anywhere [17:34] what's a good program for burning a bootable CD?

[18:04] ImDude: But if you're sold on ATI go ahead and get it, but I'd bet almost everyone in this channel and everyone on the forums would say if you're going to be using Linux, go Nvidia [18:04] <[ne0]> its fine dreadful_great... thanks again very much for ur help :) [18:05] <[ne0]> at least i got sound :P [18:05] I upgraded from 6.06 to 8.10 and now the hardware drivers are failing to load, and I can't use either keyboard or mouse [18:05] [ne0]: no problem. :) [18:05] GigaClon: to 8.10? [18:05] makaraki thats a good location for programs you doing yourself [18:05] GigaClon: are you serious? [18:05] err 8.04\ [18:05] i meant 8.04 [18:05] ImDude: heh, I'm not a graphics card expert or anything. But yea, the 8800 GTS was good, I dunno, it depends on your price range. I'd say just take a couple minutes asking on the forums or checking out newegg for a good Nvidia card that suits your needs [18:05] GigaClon: phew... [18:05] right now I have 3870 running I notices a few bugs already but really minor but had 8800 GTS previously and was flawless [18:05] ubottu: numlock permanently stuck. [18:05] xenocampanoli: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [18:06] hehe I always reinstall form scratch GigaClon I hate updating it always have some type of problems [18:06] codecaine: What about programs of third parties not available with aptitude or similar? thanks in advance [18:06] numlock permanently stuck. [18:06] ImDude: I mean if that card is the card you want (the ATI one) that get it. I have an ATI card and it works flawlessly... After 15+ hours of tinkering [18:06] there or either they self installed to your /usr/bin [18:07] I have a small case righ tnow perfect for MCE setup and I have 8800GTS installed however this bad boy gets nasty hot , so hot that I can fry eggs on top of the case [18:07] ImDude: But for a lot of people fglrx just works, but like I said, my card wouldn't work with 4 GB of ram or more and I had to rewrite my mtrr tables (/proc/mtrr) which is trickys tuff [18:07] <3 nvidia [18:07] i have not had big problems upgrading from release to release [18:07] ImDude: Heh get more cooling! [18:07] but if your doing it manually /usr/local/bin unless you add a environment path to another location you want [18:07] but this was the first LTS to LTS upgrade [18:07] no more room for coolin g [18:07] Duno what to say Gigaclon on that one [18:08] can anyone help me i'm trying to use jackd so i can record sound using recordmydesktop :-) [18:08] I'm still having trouble burning isos in hardy. There's a blank disc in the drive but cd/dvd creator only shows the option to write to "file image" and the write speed combo is disabled [18:08] hello, I seem to have screwed up :P I was messing around in Wormux (an open source implementation of Worms) and I changed the resolution to something larger than what my monitor could handle. It did the diagonal line thing and I had to press escape to exit. I couldn't fix it in game, so I decided to edit it's configuration file instead, which was a mistake. now the configuration file is screwed up, the game keeps defaulting to the *too [18:08] large* resolution, and doing anything with apt-get won't help at all [18:08] GigaClon: Did the old kernel from 6.06 not persist? If it is still there try booting with it [18:08] tyr this progrma ktorrent KrimZon is nice for burning images [18:08] Vovk: You could try sudo apt-get purge the_game [18:08] Hi there people, where is the path were I should place new software not available on the repositories for instance *.deb or *.tar.gz ? /usr/....? [18:08] hi all [18:08] Vovk: Purging instead of just removing is supposed to delete all the config files for the game [18:09] ASULutzy: I tried that, the config file stays behind [18:09] Can someone please help me? I forgot the password to my Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-14, so then I login by recovery mode and change the /etc/shadow [18:09] but now I can't even get into recovery mode [18:09] ASULutzy: I read the man page for apt-get and tried everything [18:09] yeah i tried booting from it and it doesn't work either [18:09] it tells me to "type password or press CTRL-D for maintance", and it hasn't done it before [18:09] once you install deb files you cane delete the .deb files no need to hold on to it unless you using it later [18:09] ehat does it mean ? "wget -UP http://blahblah" whats the meaning of -UP here ? [18:09] ASULutzy: purge, clean, autoclean, reinstall, etc... [18:09] can anyone help me with why /etc/shadow editing didn't help? [18:10] can i reinstall with out formatting? [18:10] Vovk: You could try just editing the config and set it back to what it was? or I guess you could do like sudo mv the_config the_config_bak and then purging and reinstalling [18:10] I just edited like root:!:stuff to root: and it still asks me for a password [18:10] ASULutzy: I even deleted the config file in question after I removed the package, but when I reinstalled the game, It would not start unless I put the removed config file back [18:10] help you with what shadow? === Everget3 is now known as Evergete [18:10] Sorry if I repeat the same question too much but , where is the "right" path were I should place new software not available on the repositories for instance *.deb or *.tar.gz ? /usr/....? [18:10] what does it mean ? "wget -UP http://blahblah" whats the meaning of -UP here ? [18:10] codecaine: ive installed it - how do i burn an iso with it? [18:10] Vovk: Just tell dpkg to stop being dumb :P, lol sorry I don't really know what else to try other than editing that config file [18:11] lol I answer your question a couple times makaraki [18:11] ASULutzy: that doesn't help, because the config file is still defaulting to the too large resoultion lol [18:11] codecaine: my password has been lost. I load up recovery mode, change /etc/shadow with root:!:stuff to root: and now it still asks me a password [18:11] ASULutzy, thanks for your help anyway :) [18:11] makaraki: place it in home folder with ".programs" ? [18:11] makaraki: If you open a .deb with gdebi it shows you where it will place files [18:11] codecaine: :P sorry I'm a newbie you know... [18:11] makaraki: You can also just doubleclick on a .deb and it will open [18:12] Krimzon go to applicatoins I think it under media choose the option to burn image on the bottom right [18:12] should it have been root and not root: ? [18:12] ShadowPheonix can you sudo and do root command on your regular account? [18:12] be defualt root is disable in ubuntu [18:12] yes, but I lost all passwords to that too [18:12] bartmon: thanks but I wanted to know the theorical right path not just double-click which is quite easy even form me :P [18:12] you should edit in grub to reset your passwords [18:13] How can I edit grub so that it displays other oses too? (I am using dual boot Ubuntu/Kubuntu but it automatically always boots kubuntu.) [18:13] ShadowPhoenix: If you lost your passwords you can usually boot into recovery mode and reset them from there [18:13] codecaine: how? [18:13] I did boot into recovery [18:13] and then tried to edit the /etc/shadow, but failed somehow :( [18:13] ShadowPhoenix: I don't think you need to edit anything, just use the passwd command? [18:13] ShadowPhoenix: Or will that not work? [18:13] makaraki: well gdebi undoubtedly uses dpkg, which is the command line application for handling .deb software packages [18:13] hi [18:13] I just cant get my wireless connection up :( [18:13] I tryed allkinds of tutorials but none worked [18:13] guys I need a single slot, PCIe, NVIDIA HDCP with 1080p blueRay playback support, quite and cold video card for MCE anyone please make suggestions [18:13] and I am pretty sure that my driver is fine [18:13] goamind: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

I think an update might have broken it [18:24] anyone knows how I can pass a variable to a script so it will use it?

[20:25] pub: there is this http://www.computerhope.com/unix.htm [20:25] After the kernel update last week, hardy (on a thinkpad t43p, ATI graphics) started getting flaky, losing wireless. Then it started freezing up and crashing. I tried to uninstall the 2.6.24-19 kernel and then it got really wacky, now it starts up in low resolution graphics mode. [20:26] I tried sudo aptitude full-upgrade, but there appear to be problems with the ubuntu archives.s [20:26] puff reinstall the kernel [20:26] ah yes Kitu , so run /usr/bin/firefox-2 [20:26] Kitu: then go to help -> about [20:26] and tell me the version you see there Kitu [20:27] puff go int synaptic find a kernel u want and install it [20:27] UBUNTUJAY123: I still had the apt package files, so I did dpkg -l | fgrep linux | fgrep 19 to list the kernel and drivers and headers, and then sudo aptitude install all-of-those-packages [20:27] if i downloaded stuff via apt-get install and sudo apt-get intsall [20:27] that should fix it [20:27] where do i go from there? [20:27] Rampage, it's always 3.0 ... [20:27] rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008050509 Firefox/3.0b5 [20:28] it's a strange problem ... [20:28] UBUNTUJAY123: Still doesn't like my graphics. [20:28] hmm, dinner nearly ready [20:28] Kitu: do sudo aptitude reinstall firefox-2 [20:28] Wow, my Ubuntu install can't even find the .19 kernel... [20:28] puff go int synaptic [20:28] find what u need in there [20:28] UBUNTUJAY123: Every time I run X, it freezes/crashes after a few minutes. Using the console seems more reliable, though eventually it starts throwing out "ipw2200 Parity Error" [20:28] it fix it [20:29] so u messed up ur X [20:29] Whats a good Lightscribe application for Ubuntu?

[20:30] hey, everybody [20:30] Chuggst3r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18842/ I think this is it [20:30] HARDWARE ISSUE: not ubuntu specific. I just put together a new PC and tried to install windows xp, followed by ubuntu (so GRUB can work properly). The installation detects my 500gb HD as a 137gb hd. The installation restarts over and over saying it can't write to the drive (I think, the dialog box flashes real fast.) The ubuntu live CD also detects the HD as 137 and it refuses to mount. Has anyone come accross this issue, and can offer help? [20:30] ASULutzy: Thanks! [20:30] Sanketsu: Ok, so it was a problem with a video driver, you're in regular Ubuntu now, not failsafe gnome? [20:30] hey guys [20:30] Yep [20:30] Sanketsu: What kind of video card do you have? [20:30] Regular autologin'd Ubuntu... [20:30] if i am trying to install and it hangs at the loading screen what could be the problem? [20:31] silly question... thunderbird just started showing some header "Today" at the top of my list of messages (with a little "-" sign i can collapse it with). how do i get rid of it? [20:31] Why the hell does my update manager/aptitude ignore all the Ubuntu release sites. === Bodsda|FOOD is now known as Bodsda|COFFEE|NI [20:31] You think my computer wont be able to run ubuntu.

[20:32] Sanketsu: Something installed or configured your fglrx drivers wrong and that's where your problem was coming from. Just google it, it's an application designed to make installing video drivers way way easier [20:32] !info envyng-gtk [20:32] envyng-gtk (source: envyng-gtk): install the ATI or the NVIDIA driver.

Even still, that shouldn't disallow me from writing to the HD === mils is now known as gist [20:35] Anyone know why my Ubuntu install refuses to acknowledge that there's a .19 kernel out there? It just doesn't see it. Nothing in Synaptic, nothing with update manager.

You could try Wubi. Thats supposed to let you try Ubuntu out without much changes [21:44] SuN13: Ubuntu 8.04 64bit with Atheros Communications Inc. AR5413 802.11abg NIC - which madwifi doesn't work with [21:45] hi [21:45] ok another question, i am getting a live cd version of ubuntu, will that give me a real world example of how it would run installed?

[21:45] kjd-ro: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [21:45] SeanL9941: It should run a little bit better after it's installed of course, since you won't have the overhead you do with a live-cd [21:45] how do u scroll up in bitchx ? [21:46] SeanL9941: yes, except for resctricted drivers / content [21:46] kjd-ro btw, which mouse model do you use? standard 3 button?

[21:47] thenetduck: programming is a BIG topic - try finding a language specifically - or tutorials [21:47] SeanL9941 NO WAY [21:47] kjd-ro: a PS/2 mouse should just work out of the box I would think, did you try reconfiguring xorg? sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [21:47] SuN13: Yes they are - not working. Getting the error [291012.817678] wifi%d: unable to attach hardware: 'Hardware self-test failed' (HAL status 14) [21:47] kjd-ro guess u tried Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" in xorg.conf mouse section already?

[21:49] ASULutzy: i need save VGA, cus normal VGA ain working.. [21:49] nanoscience www.nanopaprika.eu [21:49] SeanL9941: the story is, that allot of wifi cards don't have support in linux, but there is a program called ndiswrapper that lets you use the windows driver [21:49] ASULutzy: gess -phigh is for high resolution... [21:49] !wireless > SeanL9941 start here [21:49] is there a 'windows media center' like version of linux? that might be better then ubuntu? and i dont currently use wmc, i just use vlc [21:50] ty [21:50] Anyone else using Screenlets ?

[21:52] best moue ever made [21:52] genius: which DE are you using? [21:52] Tstantonfsu: You should just be able to do 'sudo apt-get install firefox-2' [21:52] SeanL9941: well, the best is to make 3 partitions for linux (its a partition hog) [21:53] what would i do with the 3rd? [21:53] how to reconnect my dsl from icon? [21:53] SeanL9941: 1 for swap, 1 root, 1 home partition [21:53] SeanL9941: I'm lazy, I just have a root "/" partition and a swap partition. If you really want you can make /boot a separate partition, and /home a separate [21:53] SuN13: nm - I've got a solution here [21:53] Skitt, what is DE? you mean Hardy? [21:53] SuN13: Thanks for the help [21:53] i'm even lazier, no swap just one linux partition [21:53] whats the go with ubuntuu brainstorm showing ticks on the website for items not implemented ? [21:53] im to much of a noob i guess [21:54] Skitt, gnome! [21:54] Rampage: you really need to have a swap [21:54] SeanL9941: how do you even know what to do with the second? : P first tell me how much space you got, and how big your ram is. What others is saying is true btw [21:54] Majost: nope, no swap [21:54] ASULutzy: why a separate /boot? [21:54] Swap is pretty important [21:54] danbhfive: I don't have it setup that way, but I've seen people separate /boot on another partition [21:54] swap is very important [21:54] kjd-ro upload your xorg.conf to pastebin? [21:54] heh [21:54] Majost: using a dell, so already 3 partitions used, and i was too lazy to bother with extended partitions so just have one extra for linux [21:55] xp pro amd 2500+ oc'd @ 2.2ghz 1gb pc3200 , nvidia ti4200 80gb and 200gb and i want it to see my network drives (4tb's) [21:55] ASULutzy: yes, I have too, and they report problems when trying to upgrade. I don't understand the advantage [21:55] okay... anyone familiar enough with DEbian to help me with a wireless netowrking card problem? [21:55] I would argue that swap is pretty important, but on my desktop the output of free -m never really has swap being used ryan@ryan-desktop:~$ free -m [21:55] total used free shared buffers cached [21:55] Mem: 3959 1944 2015 0 487 1053 [21:55] -/+ buffers/cache: 402 3556 [21:55] Swap: 9381 0 9381 [21:55] ASULutzy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [21:55] Oh whoops [21:55] Majost: I have 2GB ram, and i rarely use over 1gb in a session, even when i used windows i used to disable pagefile [21:55] Rampage: If you use all your available ram, you are likely to have weird crashes [21:55] when linux runs out of memory [21:55] ASULutzy: in theory, you can mount every folder as a separate partition [21:55] genius: a metacity --replace should fix it for the moment [21:55] and there is no available swap [21:55] <-- which is why I'm not running Ubuntu on this laptop [21:55] it just kills ANY random process [21:56] danbhfive: Well, you'd have to use extended partitions, but yea [21:56] Majost: yeah, i just have to be careful i don't do that i guess [21:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com kjd-ro [21:56] can anyone comment on ubuntu brainstorm ie. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com , it appears to be misleading [21:56] Rampage: Thats pretty hard to do seeing that it caches everything. =P [21:56] SeanL9941: Are you using a whole drive for Ubuntu? [21:56] anyway, my dhclient keeps coming up with a no working leases in persistent database error message. Can anyone help? [21:56] But yea, I would certainly recommend everyone have a swap partition [21:56] i have yet to get ubuntu at al [21:56] all === Rex_ is now known as Rex_afk [21:57] ahas anyone had problems with resolution with the nvidia drivers? [21:57] Majost: so far i've never used more than 1gb of my ram, and thats with leaving firefox and thunderbird on for ages, and as a precaution i tend to restart X after a few days [21:57] id like to keep xp installed and just have dual boot [21:57] Wifi wont work on my fresh ubuntu install, but works fine on my two window installs on computers within 5 feet of the ubuntu one. Any help? [21:57] * flaccid_ thinks this channel is a case of too many cooks [21:57] Whatever works for you I suppose... [21:57] * Majost shrugs [21:57] Aha: whats the card? [21:57] Hi - I'm using FireFox 3 - I need to use another browser besides Firefox - How about Opera ? Any suggestions ? ? [21:57] Swap is also used for application startup, for things that will only be used ONCE [21:57] How would I stream media from a kubuntu computer to a ubuntu computer? [21:57] SeanL9941: setting up a dualboot really isn't that hard... It can be tricky if you only have one hard drive and NTFS is taking up all of it, but the install cd should be able to resize it for you? [21:58] nickolaus, any way you like === tolecnal_ is now known as tolecnal [21:58] danbhfive, some integrated one. Its a laptop. Wifi worked fine on the previous version on ubuntu [21:58] Majost: i'm planning on getting a desktop, well build one so will sort that one out with proper partitions [21:58] flaccid what software do I use? [21:58] SeanL9941: the install cd pretty much takes care of the entire dualboot for you and sets up grub correctly [21:58] ahaaaaaaa i am getting there.... !!! [21:58] is there a 'noobish' step by step online somewhere i can view? i looked and i couldnt get all my answers [21:58] nickolaus, samba [21:58] AHA: I would file a bug report then [21:58] kjd-ro: so reconfiguring xserver worked? [21:58] XORG config PROBLEM !!! geee soo nubish .. to mess up this as well [21:59] ok, i just didnt wanna trust it thats all, dont want to loose anything on that comp [21:59] The install CD can partition, make the partitions, migrate windows settings, and setup dual boot [21:59] flaccid okay I have samba setup but I am unable to view my media files. [21:59] danbhfive, but there is nothing i can do in the meantime? [21:59] Jimboy: goto ad/remove program and search for browser [21:59] kjd-ro whats up? :D [21:59] nickolaus, explain why [21:59] SeanL9941: Well, I would certainly make sure you check with others that you know what you're doing. If you tell it to format your NTFS partition it will [21:59] Majost: i would have thought 2gb ram would be sufficient under normal use? [21:59] SeanL9941: You don't want it to do that :) [21:59] AHA file to the manufacturer [21:59] hmm, guess i'll stop being lazy and sort out my partitions [21:59] ASULutzy: no, actually it is not working.. i think it dosnt generate config file corectly.. i am chaking a wolrking config file .. a sec.. [21:59] AHA: well, you would need to figure out what card you have, since the problem you have is likely specific to it [21:59] no help with getting the wirless networking card to connect to the Internet? I've gotten the driver installed with Ndiswrapper, but it seems that I'm not getting assigned an IP address [21:59] nickolaus you might want to try gnump3d [22:00] SuN13: Thanks installing Opera ok..... [22:00] hmmm too many indians no chiefs in this channel [22:00] sinisterporpoise: This may be noobish of me, but I remember with my laptop just using ndiswrapper -i didn't work quite right for me, but I installed ndisgtk, a graphical front end for ndiswrapper, and told it what windows driver to use and everything just worked [22:00] tschaka: everithing is down.... moral and nervs.. and all [22:00] nickolaus its a browser based system, so you can browse and open your files directly through your browser. [22:00] sinisterporpoise: Did you do ALL the settings, for ndis [22:01] kjd-ro yea, can imagine this. but did u found some solution or something? [22:01] i am looking at like 6 different versions of kubuntu dont even konw which one to get i see desktop cd - alternate install cd - desktop dvd and there is Kubuntu Xubuntu and Ubuntu all version 8.04 (hardy heron) [22:01] here's the problem -- I've got it working under Ubuntu just fine, but Ubuntu doesn't work well on this older laptop. I've installed Debian Etch but it seems to be missing something that Ubuntu had [22:01] sinisterporpoise: If you're a big noob like me, try doing sudo apt-get install ndisgtk, and then go to system->administration->windows wireless drivers [22:01] SeanL9941: you want the desktop cd [22:01] is there one that comes with all the flashy crap? like beryl? [22:01] whats the desktop dvd? [22:01] flaccid I installed kubuntu on a headless box and so I can have increased access to my home network and I want to place all of our media on this computer. I installed samba on it and set some of the folders to share but they're not showing up on any of the network computers. [22:01] tschaka: i think .. check this out.. what is the pastebin address ? [22:01] is there any linux equivalants to programs like onenote (for using a tablet for note taking) [22:01] sinisterporpoise, please ask on #debian, not here [22:01] http://paste.ubuntu.com kjd-ro [22:01] i mean dvd..more stuff in the install? [22:01] SeanL9941: probably [22:02] so ..useless? [22:02] SeanL9941: depends on what hardware u want and what your needs are [22:02] nickolaus, that doesn't say much. i have nothing to go on. learn samba and linux? [22:02] I can try but since they are the same underlying system the process hould be the same [22:02] u got* [22:02] can anyone tell me how to reconnect my dsl connection from desktop icon? [22:02] i just want an alternative to xp on my old-outddated-but still working amd/htpc === Rex_afk is now known as Rex_ [22:02] Alternate CD is if you need extra install options, such as some unsported hardware [22:02] when i installed ubuntu i accedentally got rid of my Windows XP OS how do i reinstall?? [22:03] CaptainAmerica, please join ##windows [22:03] Use a live CD, test it all out, then install from it [22:03] joaopinto: kk [22:03] SeanL9941: well if it is too old ubuntu desktop will not run as well [22:03] check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/18890/ !!!!! [22:03] SeanL9941: just go with the desktop cd. I think its what you are looking for. After you get it installed, the cd you picked won't make much of a difference [22:03] Sun its 2.2ghz 1gb ram [22:04] ok dan, thanks [22:04] SeanL9941: ubuntu will be fine on that [22:04] SeanL9941: yeah but i dont think u will be 3d effects [22:04] kjd-ro is this your whole xorg.conf? [22:04] yea, i had it installed on my 1.5centrino frankenlaptop for about a week looong time ago ran beryl and all that jazz but didtn do much with it [22:04] kjd-ro and does X still start normally after u ran dpkg? [22:04] Hi there. I'm looking at this (http://preview.tinyurl.com/2d6dnq) USB external hard disk drive, and it seems to be going for a good price, but I fear that I may have to install some kind of 'drive manager' or something to take hold of the 'advanced features'. Are my fears founded? [22:05] erm, did anyone add any issues with the latest firefox upgrade ? [22:05] ti4200 can run quake 3 pretty good :) [22:05] does someone know the command make mysql a command, so i don't have to change directory to the mysql path? [22:05] Luig1: What advanced features do you mean? [22:05] When I switched from vista, my wireless Internet connection won't work, did anyone else have this problem and if so can you help me? [22:05] Luig1: external hard drives are formatted FAT32 by default and ubuntu reads that fine [22:05] Luig1: Its a good drive, just plug it in [22:06] ok, so now i need to know Kubuntu Xubuntu or just Ubuntu [22:06] Luig1: It's USB, USB is plug and play on pretty much any operating system [22:06] no drivers or whatever [22:06] tschaka: yes .... [22:06] kjd-ro Identifier "Configured Mouse" [22:06] Driver "vmmouse" thats all my xorg says for my mouse. worked out of the box. Section InputDevice [22:06] flaccid okay I got it working now when I try to use media on it without copy/paste I get Unable to open 'smb://yahweh/Media1/Full Metal Panic/[BakaKozou]Full_Metal_Panic_TSR_-_02_[15D95CF8].avi' [22:06] ASULutzy: Well, it says 'Includes drive management features like automatic power-up and LED status lights.' [22:06] !paste | tschaka [22:06] tschaka: 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) [22:06] SeanL9941: depends what interface you want, gnome, kde or xfce [22:06] Luig1: well, you probably simply wont get those feature on ubuntu, at least not the way they list it. You can probably get those features otherways. So yes, your fears are founded [22:06] works on windows, PS3, linux, mac outa the box [22:06] Flare183 soz, thought for 2 lines it would be ok. [22:06] Rampage: dont know the diff...ill look it up, unless u can give it to me stright [22:06] tschaka: I'm just saying... [22:06] Well, thanks everyone! I guess I'll just buy it and send it back if it doesn't work right or something. [22:07] Luig1: ... I don't know that I would consider those advanced features per say lol, but yea, the LED's should work just fine. All completely plug and play [22:07] which is the most user friendly? [22:07] i suggested some guy to use pastebin 2 mins earlier. but thx anyway :) [22:07] i hate this... still not working... [22:07] SeanL9941: ubuntu [22:07] SeanL9941: i myself don;t know what the key differences are, but from what i have read its the way the graphical interface is bundled and they have their own bundles of appliactions [22:07] Luig1: Video cards, and other weird PCI devices can be tricky in Linux, but USB storage is pretty much universal across all OS [22:07] SeanL9941: all 3 are user friendly, i use gnome (so standard ubuntu) [22:08] alright i;ll give it a go, ill probably be back in a few hours with many questions :) [22:08] Anyone here use Audacity? [22:08] where's the device manager in Hardy Heron? [22:08] goodluck SeanL9941 [22:08] when I try to stream media via samba shares in konqueror I get an error in vlc Unable to open 'smb://yahweh/Media1/Full Metal Panic/[BakaKozou]Full_Metal_Panic_TSR_-_02_[15D95CF8].avi' [22:08] SeanL9941: I prefer gnome, but lots of people are die hard KDE fans. Really a matter of preference [22:08] SeanL9941: I installed on my thinkpad 2.2 ghz and it basically installed itself no problems [22:08] any ideas? [22:08] nice :) thanks alot guyus [22:08] Hi everyone, i m not able to install ubuntu. I erased gutsy to do a fresh install of hardy, but installing from live cd freezes my pc at 22%(copying files). I tried the alternate cd, but there the installation freezes at 18%(per of gsfont configuration). The cd's are checked and are fine. Any ideas? [22:08] Anyone have a package for Audacity VST? [22:08] ASULutzy: yeah, LEDs aren't exactly futuristic, but it said 'drive management', so I figured they were some kind of customizable LED readout or something. [22:08] peace out [22:09] Luig1: i wouldn't worry about that [22:09] kjd-ro >> private msg [22:09] I know for a fact, THAT drive will work on the systems I mentioned, out of the box [22:10] Luig1: i have a seagate internal and samsung internal drives connected to my laptop via a usb caddy and it works fine (both formatted NTFS) [22:10] which torrent-klient is the best for ubuntu? [22:10] gorg: i like rtorrent [22:10] gorg deluge, transmission [22:10] gorg: Preference. But I love rtorrent [22:10] hmz :) [22:10] gorg: I use Transmision [22:10] gorg: But only because it lets me download stuff on my home machine from work using ssh, if you want a flashy GUI, you can't go wrong with azureus [22:10] gordonjcp: rtorrent is command line and very easy to use plus very light on system resources [22:10] seems like its 50/50 Transmission / rtorrent :) [22:11] gorg: Yea, again rTorrent is all command line [22:11] i have a stupid question the ubuntu offical kernel is i686 only?? [22:11] gorg Transmision here cos it has a gui [22:11] ASULutzy: heh, I found azureus to be very buggy on linux, almost unworkable [22:11] gorg: i used utorrent standalone with wine..works perfect === fophillipse is now known as fophillips [22:11] how do you change gnome-do key commands? [22:11] TuniX12: using AMD64 [22:11] ASULutzy: the ncurses interface for rtorrent makes it rather easy to use don't you think? [22:11] gorg, danbhfive: I used azureus for a while... It was alright, I bet most of the linux problems on azureus are related to java being weird at times [22:11] danbhfive: the officia package, or the Vuze verzion? [22:11] gorg transmission is light and easy. deluge comes with some more options and stuff. azureus is way to heavy for my taste + it runs on java, which brings many dependencies. [22:11] official* [22:11] [Q] How can i use rm to remove any files ending in .ini from current folder and folders inside current folders? [22:11] thanks for all reply, i would have to consider a little [22:12] java is a memory hog too [22:12] anyone know how to stream movies/music from a kubuntu computer via samba shares? [22:12] Rampage: Oh, I've never used a front end for rTorrent. I only use it so like I said, while I'm at work like I am now, I can ssh to my desktop at home and tell it to start downloading stuff so it'll be there waiting for me when I get back [22:12] i never get help here. get some chefs. [22:12] Hi, did anyone run into problems with firefox after the update to rc1? [22:12] find -name "*.ini" | xargs rm [22:12] Lenny1729: You mean RC2? [22:12] ASULutzy: thats how i use it too, it has no graphical frontend [22:12] david_: amd64 is not the same as i686 right? [22:12] nickolaus either u configure samba properly (samba tutorlias, + edit smb.conf) or use gnump3d its a media streaming server. [22:13] nickolaus its in the repos. [22:13] DarkAudit: the official package. This was when I first started on ubuntu, on dapper. I knew Azureus from windows, so I used it, but it crashed all the time. On windows, it was great... [22:13] TuniX12: no i686 is PentiumPro 32-bit [22:14] david_ how i get an optimized kernel for intel core duo without compiling please? [22:14] ASULutzy: synaptic says rc1 [22:14] Lenny1729: is there an update to rc1? [22:14] i didn't think there was [22:14] Lenny1729: Oh, weird, on firefox's homepage they link to RC2 [22:14] Rampage: ? [22:14] danbhfive: I've got the 3.0 Vuze version, seems to work fine for me... actually better than in Windows here [22:14] Rampage: no, not in the ubuntu repository [22:14] http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-rc.html [22:14] ah okay Lenny1729 [22:14] gordonjcp: whats that> [22:14] After my last upgrade firefox doesn't start [22:15] tschaka do I install gnump on the computer receiving the file of the one sending? [22:15] anymore [22:15] all my torrents were yellow in windows, not in Linux, and my ISP and router settings never changed [22:15] Rampage: you highlighted me talking about torrent clients? [22:15] what does yellow mean [22:15] [Q] How can i use rm to remove any files ending in .ini from current folder and folders inside current folders? [22:15] TuniX12: if u want fully optimized you probably need to compile it yourself, but personally I would stick with either 32bit or 64bit generic kernels [22:15] solexious: Someone already gave you the answer to that if you scroll up [22:15] Rampage, ASULutzy: firefox starts up with a strange yellow window and a XUL error [22:15] nickolaus u need to install gnump3d only on the host server. the clients will connect via your favorite browser. [22:15] solexious: find . -name "*.ini" | xargs rm [22:15] did Firefox RC2 post since yesterday morning? -proposed had RC1 yesterday morning US EDT [22:16] I am having trouble getting the builtin compiz to work on hardy [22:16] solexious: david answered that one already [22:16] ASULutzy: sorry must have missed it, ty [22:16] hmm, sorry gordonjcp just saw it was a typo and poor tabcompletion from me [22:16] sorry bout that gordonjcp [22:16] tschaka samba is saying that I don't have permission... [22:16] nickolaus gnump3d creates playlists for every folder and comes with a nice web interface. + it streams movies too [22:16] my computer has a internal graphics card that is blacklisted [22:16] Lenny1729: no idea, sorru [22:16] *sorry [22:16] david_: Thank you [22:16] i am not using that card, but compiz still sees it and wont run because of it [22:16] tschaka, nickolaus: I love gnump3d, use it all day at work to stream my mp3's to me [22:16] nickolaus u gotta edit smb.conf then most likely [22:16] :) [22:17] my other card is a nvidia, and it works with compiz(it worked before installing some updates) [22:17] nickolaus: Or you can install system-config-samba and use that to configure samba [22:17] is there a way to remove a line from blacklisting? [22:18] Any suggestion what I would use to get my scanner working - It's a Epson 2480 ? ? ? [22:18] asulutzy could you help me configure it? [22:18] i got a question [22:18] anyone have a nvidia card with s-video out? [22:18] hi, i have a dir full of files in the form "thing.jpg.gz" how can i recurrsivly remove all the .gz extensions from all files please [22:18] Hi, has someone experience with effectv? Where can I add plugins? [22:18] >>>this is soo fck up <<< no mouse scroll .... guys i am too out to think.. where else can it be disabled ??? or enabled ? how can i check ? [22:19] nickolaus: I suppose, what's the problem? [22:19] carpet_the_walls: don't you want to extract the contents rather than remove the file extension? [22:19] patricknn: I have an nvidia card with svideo out, although I have never tried to use the svideo out [22:19] start [22:19] asulutzy I just installed gnump on the host computer. what do I do now? [22:19] please check: http://pastebin.com/d16a7ac9e My question is how to resolve this? The files it complains about do not exist [22:19] nickolaus: You need to edit /etc/gnump3d/gump3d.conf to point to your media [22:20] hmm, firefox updates, wonder what version the repos have now [22:20] this is a result of someone upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04 without removing envy === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:20] Rampage: i ran "gzip *.* >> zipfile.zip" and it added .gz to all the files ???, so now i need to remove the .gz so i can have another go at zipping them [22:20] kevinh90: yeah i've been trying for a while with no luck the xorg files confuse me [22:20] asulutzy okay, I'm there how so? [22:20] nickolaus: one sec, let me open it [22:20] lmao [22:20] ahaaa... gdm.log>>>(EE) VMWARE(0): vmmouse enable failed [22:21] is there a cam software that supports JPEG cameraS? [22:21] nickolaus: Just scroll down a bit and there'll be a line called root = /something/ [22:21] carpet_the_walls: use gunzip *.gz [22:21] carpet_the_walls: i normally prefer tar, or rar for this sort, but hmm, i guess you could do a script to rename the files [22:21] nickolaus: Change that to root = /the/path/of/your/music [22:21] use calc i suppose carpet_the_walls [22:21] Did anyone else just have to update Firefox? [22:21] nomopofomo: yes [22:22] nomopofomo: updating now actually [22:22] Is that the final version of 3.0 [22:22] I wonder... [22:22] Rampage: not familiar with calc, ill look it up, thanks for your help [22:22] Kind of exciting [22:22] Rampage: What does aptitude show firefox show you? [22:22] nomopofomo: no idea, i'll install and check [22:22] nomopofomo: if you go to firefox's website, they're at release candidate 2 of ff [22:22] Mine shows me rc1 [22:22] ff3* [22:22] carpet_the_walls: ok, what i would do is "ls | grep -i ".jpg"" [22:23] I noticed, ASULutzy, but sometimes software is released before it is announced. [22:23] anyone? [22:23] nomopofomo: Well, RC2 only came out on June 4th [22:23] carpet_the_walls: stick all those names in coulmn b and c, and put mv in column a, and then in coulmn c run a replace to remove the .gz [22:24] ASULutzy, indeed. [22:24] then make that a sh script by copying to gedit carpet_the_walls and done [22:24] anyone have any suggestions for firewall and antivirus for 8.04? I know there are a couple in repos but would kinda like to hear whats simply and efficient to use [22:24] Rampage: thankyou! [22:24] question: where can i find the mouse driver for xorg.. to specify in the config file.. ???? [22:24] Has anyone seen an issue with building binary-custom kernels, where at the very end when it is building the package it errors out with: "dh_installchangelogs: package linux-image-2.6.24-18-optimized is not in control info" [22:24] asulutzy root =/var/music? [22:24] Y-Town: Don't bother [22:24] Y-Town: firewall is already installed, iptables [22:24] Y-Town: You don't need an antivirus on Ubuntu. [22:24] hey all just realised that when i press the cz key I get the zc key also... any ideas.. [22:24] << thinking, maybe the driver is missing ... need to check it [22:24] carpet_the_walls: you're welcome [22:24] nickolaus: Where is your music saved? Yea you'd want to change root = /var/music to root = /where/your/music/is [22:24] kjd-ro did you read my priv messages? [22:25] hang on C key and Z key register and both keys [22:25] Y-Town: only time you want an antivirus is if you are running a mail server [22:25] no, just logged in... [22:25] ASULutzy, would it say Firefox 3.0 RC2 in the "About Mozilla Firefox" dialog? [22:25] I know I dont need antivirus for me and ubuntu but I do have a coupe win boxes on my network [22:25] Rampage: Any form of communication middleman or file storage area too. [22:25] nomopofomo: No, I just installed RC2 on my windows VM and it doesn't mention RC2 [22:25] tschaka: could you repost it ??? [22:25] as i am a newbie with linux, should i use Transmission, or would you think i can manage rtorrent as it seems to have the nice feature of starting stuff from work? [22:25] Rampage: is there any GUI for iptables available? [22:25] ASULutzy, ah. [22:26] How do i install wine?? [22:26] gorg: how comfortable are you with console? [22:26] hi all. ubuntu n00b here, needs help before she pulls her hair out. [22:26] sudo apt-get install wine [22:26] CaptainAmerica: sudo aptitude install wine [22:26] hmm, mine just says firefox 3, nothing about rc1 or rc2 [22:26] I've set up VSFTPD as a FTP server [22:26] [Q] What do I need to have installed to have my ipod show up in Rythambox? [22:26] how do i select which files I want shared, or access them from other computers? [22:26] !wine > CaptainAmerica [22:26] solexious: It should show up automagically does it not? [22:26] Y-Town: there are gui's for iptables, but i like to do it command line [22:26] asulutzy my music is on my network computer called Yahweh in a media drive called media 1 [22:26] MrPocknix: You use Samba and right click the drive you wish to share in nautilus. [22:26] Y-Town: and i script a lot of the firewall commands, where a gui is useless [22:27] Rampage: kewl thanx [22:27] how to set rythmbox music player for default mp3 player [22:27] s/drive/directory/ [22:27] Y-Town: read the man pages, very helpful [22:27] nickolaus: So maybe try smb://that/path ? [22:27] yesudeep2: sadly not, it did in 7.08 but on in this fresh 8.04 install [22:27] mDemocritus: i am not comfortable with console atm, but i would like to start learning it [22:27] asulutzy thanks [22:27] yesudeep2: 7.10 sorry* [22:27] nickolaus: I'm not 100% sure on the syntax, as mine is a local hard drive, /media/TB/music [22:28] nickolaus: Just tinker with it, I'm sure you'll get it [22:28] yesudeep2: what version of firefox have you got now? [22:28] solexious: libipod0 should be it. [22:28] gorg: rtorrent is powerful, but it's fairly confusing for a newbie...i know it was for me... [22:28] Rampage: 3.0 rc1 [22:28] yesudeep2: i got a message in terminal reading "E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [22:28] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?" [22:28] gorg: are you looking for a specific feature? [22:28] yesudeep2: ah yes, aptitude says rc1 [22:28] the about help was just saying 3 [22:28] yesudeep2: will try, ty [22:28] hey people i got a question how can i install beryl ?? i aint got no paket from beryl or somethin else tell me what should i type to install it ? [22:28] CaptainAmerica: You probably had Synaptic open at the same time you were trying to use apt-get? [22:28] CaptainAmerica: Are you using synaptic or another package management tool to install/upgrade something? [22:29] asulutzy so smb://yahwah/media 1/ music ? [22:29] i heard ASULutzy were talking about starting downloads from work [22:29] solexious: Check whether your iPod shows up in the Places menu. [22:29] i dont know [22:29] You can't have spaces, maybe try smb://yahwah/media\ 1/music [22:29] asulutzy and once I do that how do I use it? Just open the media with samba? [22:29] solexious: If that's the case, as on one of my computers, right clicking it seems to mount it and show it on the desktop. [22:29] ASULutzy: im not using synaptic [22:29] hey people help me [22:30] gorg: your best bet is a client that has a web inteface... there are some for rtorrent, and ktorrent has one built in [22:30] pls tell me how can i install beryl [22:30] all sdl programs/games won't run and tell me on the shell "no available audio device" [22:30] sound doesn't work in flash either [22:30] is there a version of java for Power PC ubuntu??? [22:30] tayfun: Beryl has been replace by compiz fusion. [22:30] but i get startup sounds [22:30] nickolaus: You just browse to it with a browser on the port that it says at the top of /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf, I believe it defaults to :8888 [22:30] but it seems i should start with Transmission and when i have practiced console i may convert [22:30] and music through banshee [22:30] tayfun: You should have compiz installed already. [22:30] yesudeep2: installed, not showing up but will try a restart, no it is not showing up in places [22:30] nickolaus: So you'd go to http://whatever.your.ip.is:8888 in a webbrowser [22:30] firefox is still buggy [22:30] gorg: that's probably the best idea [22:30] tayfun: You may find this package useful too: compizconfig-settings-manager [22:30] taking up 100% CPU [22:30] yesudeep but i dont have beryl how can i see if i have or how can i install it again [22:30] yesudeep2: im not using synaptic [22:30] ok thanks, [22:31] gorg: you can go to console straight away [22:31] should i just google for it? [22:31] hmm.. u think? [22:31] gorg: if you don't try now, you willkeep delaying it [22:31] that might be very right [22:31] yesudeep but i dont have beryl how can i see if i have or how can i install it again [22:31] with the lastround of updates, ubuntu decided to stop recognizing my wireless keyboard. i have the driver install disk, but it won't even install under wine (it's a ms wireless desktop elite). it worked fine up until now. [22:31] gorg: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide [22:31] is there java for power pc linux [22:32] ok, i give it a go and if i get angry i swap :p [22:32] Next question: I have a small home server running Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. This system will be used for file sharing/storage and a backup for my other systems. Would I be better of setting up a share directory under the user or making a partition designated to sharing/storage? Keep in mind this system may be used by me from time to time but not intended to be used as a dialy web surfer system [22:32] what should i write to install beryl? [22:32] tayfun: You don't need to install beryl. It's deprecated. do you see "Visual effects" in the appearances dialog box? [22:32] gorg: rtorrent is extremely easy to use, and with time you will realise how important console is, or how useful [22:32] addison: There should be. [22:32] addison: yes, there is [22:32] can anyone help with my sound problem? === Mets_ is now known as Mets [22:32] where??? [22:32] CaptainAmerica: Ok. Is there any other update running in the background? [22:32] ? [22:32] Hi... do someone here have a minidv-coder and use kino to pick the video ?

[22:33] gorg: well done :-) [22:33] gorg: rtorrent + screen on an ssh connection to the remote box = happiness :) [22:33] gorg: let me know if you need any help [22:33] DarkAudit: hehe, you wish :) [22:33] gorg: rTorrent is all command line, so if you're expecting something flashy, rtorrent isn't it. But it's powerful, and the command line thing is great, like I said, allows you to use it through ssh remotely [22:34] Ah yes gorg , do what EADG says. Use rtorrent in a screen :) [22:34] CaptainAmerica: Can you please paste the output of 'ps -aux' at http://rafb.net/paste? [22:34] if you want a torrent client that just works, its Transmission ;) [22:34] Pixeltime: i can say the same about rtorrent :P [22:34] hey, i just restarted by ubuntu install and now 800x600 is the highest resolution i can set. what could my problem be? [22:34] Hi, can someone help me?

[22:34] Transmission should expand to become a full-featured download manager. [22:35] gorg: I just set up 3 xfers and changed my dowload speed limit on my server 1200Km away. [22:35] yesudeep2: you having trouble with firefox-3rc1? using 100% CPU while browsing? [22:35] Rampage: Nothing of that sort. [22:35] hmm [22:35] Rampage: Which addons are you using?

[22:42] yesudeep2: its working now TY [22:42] Slart: aha thx :) [22:42] but i would have never guessed vim [22:42] can anyone here elp me with a driver issue???? [22:42] *help [22:43] acgiglyph: in fact when I change it, as soon as I go back it's defaulted back to /bin/sh. how do I source my profile?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:43] xzedn, your answer to how to do something in vim is to use its rival emacs? [22:43] im not saying that [22:43] can anybody help me with video card problems on ubuntu 8.04!? [22:43] Next question: I have a small home server running Ubuntu 8.04 desktop. This system will be used for file sharing/storage and a backup for my other systems. Would I be better of setting up a share directory under the user or making a partition designated to sharing/storage? Keep in mind this system may be used by me from time to time but not intended to be used as a dialy web surfer system [22:43] !ask | cggabriel [22:43] cggabriel: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:43] johnnypea: that works for almost everything.. "man ls" will give you info on the ls command, "man gedit" will give you info on the gnome text editor etc etc [22:43] im just saying that i would more expect emacs to do things like that [22:43] Has anyone have any experience with a stardot wincam live? I had it working in Feisty then it quit and I've never been able to get it to work again. I ran it with Wine. Now, the camera can't communicate with the computer.

[22:43] (in windows i used /program files/ [22:43] gorg that is not the way to install stuff on ubuntu [22:43] soo, how can I tell apt to ignore a certain package? [22:43] gorg: zipfile? where from and what is it? [22:44] Renate: then we might not be able to help. try asking again [22:44] once again... i have a wireless keyboard and mouse set. al of a sudden ubuntu refuses to recognize them [22:44] TecnoBrat: there are a few..

[22:44] from here: http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/rTorrent-Download-2673.html [22:44] w0ss4g3: ~/ means go to the current users home folder [22:45] Slart, yea, I'm having issues with it not refreshing / crashing (works fine when connecting to my other windows box with a VNC server on it) [22:45] gorg: delete that and do what bazhang said [22:45] ok - sorry, ill use some time there before bothering u about easy questions :) [22:45] gorg: sudo aptitude install rtorrent incase [22:45] bdm43: ms wireless desktop elite (kybd and mouse). it worked just fine, until the last round of updates. [22:45] alright [22:45] gorg: In ubuntu you don't install things the same way you do in Windows (usually), delete what you've downloaded and instead take advantage of the secure repositories. To do that, you can either click system->administration->synaptic and search for rTorrent, or you can click applications->accessories->terminal and type sudo apt-get install rtorrent [22:46] seems ubuntu 8.04 can't be installed on my system wich has sata HD, the olnly choice for me is to use the wubi wich i don't like cause its unsafe [22:46] gorg you can use sudo aptitude install packagename or sudo apt-get install packagename [22:46] i have problems configuring xorg and video drivers on ubuntu 8.04 [22:46] Aslanix: I installed Hardy just fine to a sata hdd.

[23:23] yes, I'll try to [23:23] Miesco i use audacious. [23:23] it is installed on my notebook... so i will agree with you now... on the server it didnt find it.. I will check repository [23:23] does anybody knows about sierra wireless cards for 3G networks? [23:23] tschaka: Does it support albums? [23:23] tj83: sudo aptitude install openssh-server [23:23] Suffice to say, it really shouldn't cause a kernel panic but it does, and i don't know how to stop it [23:23] Does rhythymbox support closing to tray? [23:23] Rampage, i am not at the machine at the moment [23:24] Miesco: yes [23:24] tj83: ok [23:24] oh that is very similar to archlinux then [23:24] on redhat you go service network restart [23:24] rampage rock! [23:24] does anybody knows about sierra wireless cards for 3G networks? [23:24] Miesco others would be banshee, rhythmbox or exaile. try them. audacious doesnt come with media library or something. it's basically the same functionality as xmms [23:24] where is the ubuntu page on howto do that stuff?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:25] oh [23:25] !paste [23:25] Okay [23:25] daves111 use your web browser. [23:25] does anybody knows about sierra wireless cards for 3G networks? [23:25] Ughh, I just realized that I still had hardy-proposed in my /etc/apt/sources.list when I did a full upgrade. Still, I guess it couldn't break things worse than they already are. Is it feasible to revert from doing a full-upgrade to hardy-proposed? [23:26] daves111: http://paste.ubuntu.com [23:26] i need help with updating [23:26] whats up addison [23:26] azathoth99: I'm not sure what you're asking? [23:26] does anybody knows about sierra wireless cards for 3G networks? [23:26] chidge, that indeed looks wired [23:26] cggabriel, well the simplest way of doing it, if you have not allready distroyed you system is, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, select there to activate the "kernel framebuffer device interface" in X server and follow the steps... [23:26] after I update and do the system restart i can't login anymore [23:27] is there a way to tell me what distro a linux box is running? "uname --all" does not do it. [23:27] addison: any error in particular? [23:27] nkostop most likely someone will know something so the answer would be "yes". next question? [23:27] Anybody know how to get X to reconfigure? [23:27] chimp, that indeed looks wired [23:27] a-l-p-h-a: lsb_release -a [23:27] chimp, have you tried running memtest? [23:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/18911/ [23:27] not that i know of by the way i'm on ppc [23:27] benpicco_: Yeah i know, even if the hard drive is buggered, it shouldnt cause a kernel panic [23:27] memtest runs fine [23:27] addison: just doesn't accept the password? [23:28] and http://paste.ubuntu.com/18913/ [23:28] * puff tries sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org. [23:28] Only fsck on that partition causes the problem, otherwise its stable [23:28] it accepts the password but the screen just goes blue after that [23:28] chimp, maybe a kernel bug? [23:28] Rampage, I figured it out. uname -a, does report it.. it's just openvz. [23:28] benpicco_: I thought thats a possiblity, thats why i also tried the earlier kernel with no luck, but i dont know how to proceed [23:29] addison: hmm, not sure, you tried running recovery and fixing X [23:29] ??? [23:29] a-l-p-h-a: for the distro details lsb_release -a works nicely [23:29] chidge, you could try a 2.4 kernel [23:29] when you boot, select recovery mode addison [23:30] By burning an earlier live cd? [23:30] okay but what is x? [23:30] chimp, DamnSmallLinux provides one [23:30] a-l-p-h-a: uname-a doesn;t say if its ubunut, debian, fedora, suse etc [23:30] Rampage when he's getting a blue screen after logging in, isnt it rather a gnome/kde issue? [23:30] hello everyone [23:30] tschaka: Oh [23:30] daves111: the problem is your /etc/hosts file does not match your /etc/hostname file .. so in /etc/hosts file change 127.0.1.1 daves111-desktop.192.168.1.104 to 127.0.1.1 daves111-desktop and that should fix it [23:30] I have a usb that i can use to boot off, so i might try it [23:31] legend2440: ok, I could try that ... won't hurt anything, right? [23:31] i am back and i got a problem....I installed ubuntu with the alternate cd and i am getting this messege.http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/IncomingF5/DSC00349.jpg [23:32] Rampage: what is x? [23:32] addison: your desktop environment, X window system [23:32] the cut off part said something about not read only or is read only i didnt now i missed that when i took a picture. [23:32] legend2440: how would it have gotten wrong? [23:32] Rampge: how would i fix it??? [23:32] daves111: write down what is says before you change it so you can change it back if you have to.but it should fix the problem [23:33] does anyone know of a beat mapper/maker like fruity loops or logic pro? [23:33] legend2440: thanks, I'll try it [23:33] benpicco_: Should i just use the latest version of damn small linux [23:33] daves111: not sure but its happening a lot lately with all the updates [23:34] chimp, yes, they use the 2.4 kernel tree to provide optimal performance for older machines [23:34] puff, better do a new install, if you have nothing to lose, upgrade will follow you for sure into troubles [23:35] guys, can anyone help me remove the nvidia module? I've removed the .ko files from /lib/modules/..., I've done modprobe -r nvidia, i've removed the nvidia file from /etc/modprobe.d, but the module still shows on modprobe -l and modprobe nvidia, can anyone tell me how to get rid of it plz? :> [23:35] #linuxhelp [23:35] ttt even after reboot? [23:35] yep :( [23:36] I don't have a .Trash folder any more. [23:36] !trash [23:36] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [23:36] benpicco_, now it just says FATAL: Could not open '/lib/modules... since I moved the file [23:36] ttt why didi't you use the uninstall method provided by the driver? [23:36] I've got a question about my network interface statistics resetting whenever the RX / TX transmit # passes ~4GB. Anybody care to confirm this as a bug or as a "feature" for me? [23:36] puff: one I edit netowrk file how do i restart network on ubuntu box? [23:37] I installed the driver using the sh script from nvidia.com, it had some trouble with a existing module, and I didn't find a uninstall option there [23:37] like once edit /etc/network/interfaces [23:37] azathoth99: try sudo invoke rc.d networking restart [23:37] how restart so it takes effect [23:37] sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart <-- try that? [23:37] How do I fix Windows X [23:37] 'invoke rc.d networking restart' [23:37] benpicco_, I installed the driver using the sh script from nvidia.com, it had some trouble with a existing module, and I didn't find a uninstall option there [23:37] ok [23:37] azathoth99: er, sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart [23:37] ok [23:37] azathoth99: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] ttt tried module-assistant to disable it? [23:38] legend2440: does the Trash applet know that the location has changed? Because mine is showing up as full. [23:38] what is the name of console web browser? links or lynks or lynx, or what? [23:38] newbyx86: that works? ok on archlinux is /etc/init.d/network [23:38] ok [23:38] Ive never used sudo [23:38] t kinda confuses me [23:38] it [23:38] azathoth99: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:38] benpicco_, nope, installing it now :) [23:38] azathoth99: It should work in theory. I tried it a minute ago but I had routing issues... [23:38] (Yours should just be fine.) [23:38] matt444: can't empty it? [23:39] legend2440: correct, can not. i used the terminal and cleared out the folder. no change. [23:39] Can you just point the trash applet? Right click and hit properties or whatever? [23:39] ttt, sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx [23:39] See where it's pointing, just update it if it's wrong. [23:39] I just deleted my /media/cdrom0 and /media/cdrom1 because I wanted Ubuntu to just use cdrom0, and I deleted the soft link cdrom as well, fully expecting Ubuntu / HAL or something to make it again when the device is re-plugged. It didn't. Now what do I do! [23:39] please [23:40] icqnumber, I already did apt-get remove nvidia* :) [23:40] matt444: thats seems to be happening a lot. not sure why [23:40] newbyx86: huh? trash applet doesn't have a properties. === Freduardo is now known as Freduardo|zZzZz [23:40] what is the name of console web browser? links or lynks or lynx, or what? [23:40] matt444 -- sorry then. I use Ubuntu Server; my desktop is Vista. :P [23:40] legend2440: because it's hardcoded in, i'm sure. [23:40] l3x: links or lynx is a CLI web browser. [23:40] are both* [23:40] l3x: there are several. links, links2, lynx, w3m, ane elinks are some [23:40] ttt, then reconfigure X, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:40] newbyx86: than you. [23:40] legend2440: is then an upstream change or just ubuntu? Seems insane to change directory structure that has existed for a long long time. [23:40] newbyx86: thanK you:) [23:41] icqnumber, I changed it manually to the vesa driver [23:41] hi [23:41] matt444: yes it does. not sure if its just ubuntu or not [23:41] hie [23:41] ttt, manually is not the way is prefered [23:41] :) [23:41] legend2440: couldn't change it ... says I don't have permissions necessart [23:41] icqnumber, ok, i'll do what you said :) [23:42] legend2440: I mean necessary [23:42] ttt, you have allready installed that manually :-P is it not enough for you [23:42] daves111: in terminal type gksu gedit /etc/hosts then edit and save file [23:42] legend2440: ok === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [23:43] i would like to configure and install from sources git on my computer ... how can i instruct configure command to install it in a certain dir "/usr/local/git" [23:43] ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/git [23:43] ? [23:43] alecs: use PREFIX swithc [23:43] newbyx86: looks right [23:44] It'll stick them in /usr/local/git/bin, /usr/local/git/lib, etc [23:44] but it'll be contained in /usr/local/git [23:44] !trash [23:44] The location of Trash has changed in 8.04, it is now located in ~/.local/share/Trash | Looking for the trash in previous versions: ~/.Trash [23:44] icqnumber, the nvidia module is still there :( [23:44] !seen asul* [23:44] Factoid seen asul* not found [23:44] newbyx86: /usr/local should work [23:44] hey, does anyone know of a way to invert the colors on the screen without compiz? [23:44] Starnestommy: someone wanted to install something in /usr/local/git, not /usr/local [23:44] Otherwise prefix isn't needed necessarily. :P [23:44] legend2440: just get a blinking cursor [23:44] !seen folders [23:44] Factoid seen folders not found [23:45] philosophe: ubottu doesn't understand !seen [23:45] How to write in floders locked by root ? [23:45] philosophe: use sudo [23:45] icqnumber: Thanks. [23:45] I'm having a sound problem, I can hear those sound notifications in gmail chat but I don't hear anything when I go to play a video file or mp3.. any idea? a reboot usually fixes this but I'd like to know whats wrong [23:45] http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/IncomingF5/DSC00349.jpg can anyone tell me what the problem is there the cut off part said something about not read only or only read only [23:45] in the graphical Mode i mean [23:45] ? [23:45] daves111: do you see anything in the file? [23:45] Are you trying to edit a file or just browse? [23:45] philosophe: alt+F2, then enter gksudo nautilus [23:45] Or that. [23:45] That works too. :P [23:45] Cool i'll give a try [23:46] philosophe: but be careful if you're dealing with important files [23:46] i'm never too keen on opening nautilus as root [23:46] only way to learn is to break [23:46] after I typed what you said, I just get a cursor ... nothing else .... nothing else on that line [23:46] newbyx86: yep :) [23:46] legend2440: see not above [23:47] legend2440: I mean note above [23:47] daves111: ok in terminal type gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [23:47] Anyone know where one would get the sourcecode to xclock/xeyes/etc.. (xapps)? [23:47] Good xD [23:47] it works :) [23:47] OK [23:47] jerkface03: from the source packages perhaps? [23:48] legend2440: nothing but the black block cursor [23:48] mneptok: where can i go to find the source package? [23:48] anyone? why does my sound just stop working randomly then come back when I reboot [23:48] Shak-, I think that's because flash does not work with pulseaudio yet, you have a few options if that is the problem you are having. 1: install libflashsupport to get in development and still buggy ( makes flash less stable ) support for flash in pulseaudio 2: stop using pulseaudio and instead use ALSA directly ( this can be done from System -> Preferences -> Sound ) [23:48] yey ff3 rc1 [23:48] Quick simple question guys. I'm installing Ubuntu. At the last step when it asks about installing a boot loader, if I tell it to install the boot loader to the Ubuntu partition, that means as long as that partition is active, it'll boot, right? Meaning I don't have to install it to the master boot record, right? [23:48] daves111: ok close and then open new terminal and try sudo gedit /etc/hosts [23:48] Jordan_U: wait, why is flash involved? [23:49] SonicComKid: are you using any other operating systems? [23:49] legend2440: same thing [23:49] SonicComKid: if its XP you are using you can install it as master [23:49] SonicComKid: If you install to the MBR, and Windows is/was previously installed, the MBR will boot over your Ubuntu partition. [23:49] er, don't install to the MBR, and ... [23:49] Yeah. [23:49] yes sda1 is XP, sda2 is reserved for Vista, and sda3 is Ubuntu [23:49] daves111: ok try in new terminal gksudo nautilus [23:50] If you don't install to the MBR I doubt it'll boot Ubuntu. [23:50] SonicComKid: And btw, when you install Vista, it'll overwrite whatever's on your MBR. [23:50] So I'd install Vista then install Ubuntu. :) [23:50] I have two hard drives in my computer, with ubuntu on the first. Can I install xp on the second drive and then just pick wich hard drive to boot to from the bios? [23:50] I already talked about the Vista issue [23:50] fiXXXerMet: It'll boot the MBR/first partition of the first hard-drive. [23:51] If I I tell the bios to boot from the second drive? [23:51] what I want to know is if I install the boot loader to sda3, as long as sad3 is the active primary, will Ubuntu boot? [23:51] legend2440: same thing; maybe I need to go to different directory or sign in with pass [23:51] SonicComKid: I don't think so. If there's anything on the MBR it'll boot the MBR first. [23:51] sda* [23:51] jerkface03: enable source repos in /etc/apt/sources.list [23:51] hello [23:51] fiXXXerMet: I don't know. I don't think so, but I'm pretty ignorant on BIOS settings. [23:51] okay [23:51] It was news to me that SATA harddrives don't have master/slave settings! :P [23:51] SonicComKid: you need to put GRUB in the MBR [23:52] Last time I did this, I installed it to the master boot record, and it completely screwed up XP. Even though GRUB had an entry pointing to XP's parition correctly, it would not boot [23:52] daves111: in terminal try sudo -i [23:52] I don't want to do that error again [23:52] SonicComKid: I'm dual booting with XP and i have no such problem [23:52] SonicComKid: That's weird. XP/Vista's boot loader won't load Ubuntu. [23:52] SonicComKid: Windows happily uses other bootloaders, including GRUB [23:52] So you should try GRUB and if that fails, look into LILO. [23:52] I used LILO when I dualbooted Slackware and XP. [23:52] SonicComKid Make a backup of the mbr so you can easily restore it [23:52] And it worked just peachy. === moDumasser is now known as modumass [23:52] ...okay.. I'll try the master boot record again, but I had troubles with that before [23:53] Jack_Sparrow: no need to really make a backup eitherw ay. Can always just put in an XP CD and fixmbr from a recovery console. [23:53] I have no tools to backup the MBR [23:53] legend2440: ok, asked for pass; I put it in and now says root@daves111-desktop [23:53] newbyx86: the NT bootloader can load Linux (or other OSes), but it's a PITA to set up [23:53] i tend to restore the mbr using the windows recovery CD and running fixboot and fixmbr [23:53] mneptok: You have to take the first 512 bytes or whatever and put it in a file? [23:53] newbyx86 Personally I always backup my mbrs [23:53] I've read through that -- it doesn't look like fun or like it's worth it :P [23:53] hello [23:53] daves111: ok good. now type gedit /etc/hosts [23:53] newbyx86: nothing relating to Windows is "worth it" ;) [23:53] Haha. [23:54] boot loader is installing to sda [23:54] Anyway, anybody want to confirm for me whether or not the statistics for a network interface reset at like, 4GB transmitted (RX or TX independent)? [23:54] SonicComKid cd Desktop sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 [23:54] assumind sda [23:54] legend2440: ok .. worked [23:54] assuming sda [23:54] daves111: try to open update manager [23:54] compiz works, but cases many artifacts :/ [23:54] is there some software, that will allow to record my desktop - i want to record a tutorial! [23:55] only at 1.2GB and 2GB here [23:55] !info recordmydesktop [23:55] recordmydesktop (source: recordmydesktop): Captures audio-video data of a Linux desktop session.

[23:55] I transmitted ~20GB of music and such, and it would never go past 4GB. [23:55] Jack_Sparrow, uhh... no idea where that'd be saved, nor how to restore it after [23:55] mneptok: thanx! [23:55] I'd ifconfig and it would be at like... 30MB received when I know I've sent more. [23:55] im back, [23:55] legend2440: ok it's open [23:55] newbyx86: TX 1.2GB RX 2GB [23:56] legend2440: it's ready ... am I? [23:56] SonicComKid it will be saved to the hd desktop and you use live cd to mount the hd to restore it.. one sec for that command [23:56] I have a 50GB upload on linuxdc++ so i'm guessing thats correct newbyx86 [23:56] i put the ubuntu disc in my other comp and i get to 'run from disc to try out..' and all i get from there is command prompt that says (initramfs) _ [23:56] Haha. [23:56] daves111: ok good. that will also fix the problem you were having with gksudo gedit /etc/hosts [23:56] That's weird stuff I guess. I wonder if that's a feature or just a random bug. [23:56] Hay peole [23:56] never noriced it though newbyx86 [23:56] Jack_Sparrow, I'm using live CD, I don't have any hard disks mounted === jobr07ab is now known as jobr [23:57] as long as it works no point poking it :P [23:57] I first noticed it and I thought "oh no, did my computer randomly reboot?" and a w confirmed it didn't. [23:57] SonicComKid You can save the mbr to a usb...Boot Livecd...Insert USB Drive...Copy the mbr.backup to the Desktop...go to Terminal...dd if=mbr.backup of=/dev/sda bs=1 [23:57] I just told the installer to write the boot loader to sda [23:57] Not very important, but hey, something neat. :P [23:57] Oh well. Thanks for confirming that Rampage. I guess I'll hang around now and help other people :P [23:57] newbyx86: I'll try monitor mine and see if it goes over [23:57] legend2440: God bless you! I've tried to fix this for a long time; even re-installed ubuntu [23:57] Shak-, Do mp3s work after boot but before opening the browser? [23:57] by the way, problem solved, just uninstalled and deleted nvidia* and reinstalled using the nvidia.com script :) [23:57] Rampage: i put the livecd/install cd in my comp and all i get is initramfs, what do i type besides Help [23:57] i should go off and do some revision [23:57] daves111: no problem take care [23:58] legend2440: I've been on here before but have got the strangest answers [23:58] there isnt a specific amd and/or intel version like the osx86 ? [23:58] legend2440: it is downloading as we speak [23:58] Jordan_U: they work fine most of the time (even when the browser is in use), I think its when something takes over the audio controller that everything else can't play [23:58] SeanL9941: this when you try booting from the disk? [23:58] daves111: its kind of a new problem. i think the updates are changing that file [23:59] yes from the cd [23:59] anyway thx for the help icqnumber and benpicco [23:59] and i get the language option, pick english then i have 3-4 other options "try it out" or "install" [23:59] Shak-, Then that thing taking over is most likely flash, try either of the two options I mentioned [23:59] This is very long time since i have been at IRC, how do i list channels/rooms [23:59] install SeanL9941 [23:59] but i wanted to 'try it' first? [23:59] legend2440: legend2440would that also effect some other things [23:59] Jordan_U: my audio controller has always been set to HDA Intel (Alsa mixer) [23:59] er... just a guess but the installer runs the live first doesnt it? [23:59] SeanL9941: try it out will load it all up in ram for that session only
