[00:00] any clues why firefox would stop working ? [00:00] its no big deal if i have to format the ubnuntu partition again, since i have nothing on it yet. [00:00] Ice_Max : just install that driver on win partition and you will see Ubuntu [00:00] thanks for the help everyonme [00:00] hatter-- did you try rebooting? [00:00] Xcell, no, [00:00] you may have 2 [00:00] need to reboot after recent upgrades ? [00:00] okay, so, basically I have a BIOS 1024 cylinder limit. how would I install the kernel in a different partition? [00:00] Xcell, ok i will try this [00:00] ok [00:01] unusual to need to do this on linux :) [00:01] i know [00:01] Xcell, oh i see, after recent apt-get upgrade i have a reboot required icon on the bar [00:02] ok === d0wn is now known as [d]0wn [00:04] Hey, what command can I run to see what flavor of ubuntu is currently on my box? [00:04] [Q] Im trying to use: find . -name "*.ini" | xargs rm but it has a hissy cos some folders have spaces in the name, how can i fix this? [00:04] uname -a [00:04] Is there any way to install splashy without removing ubuntu-desktop? I know ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package, but I prefer keeping it. Splashy is a usplash replacement, so I can see why it'd be in ubuntu-desktop, but just wondering. === Mike is now known as Guest84066 [00:05] Xcell: Does that actually display Ubuntu Studio, etc? === Guest84066 is now known as sixpence [00:05] not sure [00:05] It doesn't. [00:05] Hey, I just installed ubuntu-server, and now ehn booting I get "this kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU" (newline) "0:8" [00:05] Any idea why/how I can fix this? [00:06] i can use a USB drive as swap space right? [00:06] * ffm is running this inside VirtualBox. [00:06] Ice_Max: yes [00:06] Ice_Max: Flash drive? [00:06] solexious: find . -name \*.ini -exec rm {} \; [00:06] Ice_Max: That's bad. [00:06] ffm: yes [00:06] Ice_Max: It'll kill the drive quickly. [00:06] be warned that's not portable to a lot of unixes [00:06] o wiat, does it always use that as the swap space then? [00:06] but since this is an ubuntu chatroom I imagine that won't be an issue [00:06] permantently? === sean is now known as Guest51979 [00:07] chunkyks: thank you [00:07] welcome [00:07] Ice_Max: it's not recommended to use as swap space, because pen drives "wear out" easily [00:07] wow I hate adobe... "http://www.americanbusinesscard.com/user/cgi/catalog/catalog.hd"... does anyone else get a pop-up requiring adobe reader even though I have it installed. I realized I could view the catalog when I turned off adblock for the page -_- (and installing adobe reader) [00:07] hi i have a laptop with centrino ip2100 chip and i plugged in a dlink dwl-g630 cardbus, and i'm trying to get kismet to run [00:07] always use -exec to find instead of xargs, if you can [00:07] can anyone help me? [00:07] Ice_Max: yes, forever. [00:08] Ice_Max: you have a limmited number of writes to flash drives. That number is high, like 10,000-100,000, but using it as swap hurts quickly. [00:08] <[d]0wn> I have a BIOS 1024 cylinder limit. how would I install the kernel in a different partition? [00:09] how much space should i leave for swap space? [00:09] 1.5x your ram [00:10] xcell: so 6 gigs? ( i have 2gb of RAM) [00:10] Ice_Max: 3GB [00:10] 3 [00:10] prolly 4.? [00:10] im about to install ubuntu on my laptop, brand new HDD, will the wireless work from the start? [00:10] der, i can;t do math :p [00:10] anyone know why my cd drive isn't showing up in the bios boot sequence menu? It shows up in the other bios menu where it lists the drives on the computer but it doesn't show it in the boot sequence menu, this is preventing me from installing ubuntu [00:10] !boot [00:10] Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:10] Maybe 4 since even multiples are nice [00:10] Ice_Max : it is 3 then and I think it is too much you will be good with 2 [00:11] one last qustion, sholud i put the swap space between my Xp partition and my ubuntu oe or does it not matter? [00:11] * stemount^ never really uses the swap [00:11] Ice_Max: as close to ubuntu as possible [00:11] Ice_Max : put it on the end of disc [00:12] anyone?

[00:12] Blaenk: i was doing that for my own good [00:12] Any idea what the kernel message "this kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU" (newline) "0:8" [00:12] I need some help on installing Ubuntu on Virtualbox! [00:12] prologi1: 8.10 isn't released yet! [00:13] prologi1: 8.10 is not officially released yet, hence there is no upgrade from 8.04 to it [00:13] !ask | UsuarioDoBrasil [00:13] UsuarioDoBrasil: 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. :-) [00:13] stemount: yes but I can still use it though ? [00:13] prologi1 : I don´t believe you want to do that [00:13] * stemount^ agrees with zvacet, prologi1 [00:13] prologi1: Ubuntu's version numbers come from the year and month they released. gutsy gibbon was 7.10, meaning october 2007, Hardy Heron is 8.04, meaning April 2008, and 8.10 will be Intrepid Ibex, and that comes out in October of 2008 [00:14] If I install Ubuntu or Debian in Virtualbox, how much space will b consumed? [00:14] UsuarioDoBrasil : give it min 5GB [00:15] prologi1, I don't think you should go to an early release unless you know how. You need to know how to do it, to be able to handle it. [00:15] And, will it make any changes to my bootloader or Windows drivers, or something out of the VM? [00:15] Hi. I started my PC up with an external soundcard attached, but it's no longer attached. How do I convince Ubuntu/ALSA to retect and use my internal soundcard instead? [00:15] * ndf is back. [00:16] Where does one go about to begin coding? [00:16] pawan: coding what?

[00:16] UsuarioDoBrasil : no it is virtual machine inside your windows [00:16] int main() { printf("Hello, world!"); } [00:17] once i install ubuntu, i should be prompted which OS i want to boot right [00:17] Ice_Max: [00:17] yes [00:17] ok [00:17] !return | stemount^ [00:17] Guys, Want to learn a programming language, running Ubuntu 8.04. Good place to start? Had previous VB experience years ago [00:17] heh [00:17] dam, ubuntu is quick to install from live CD [00:17] Ice_Max, yep, sure is :) [00:17] VB and python could be fairly close. [00:17] Ice_Max: much faster with the alternative CD, I use a pen drive to install ubuntu off, it's mad speed [00:17] :) [00:17] Ice_Max, which cd are you using? the live or alternate install cd? [00:18] stemount^, ive found the lives faster because it just copies an "image" of whats on the cd to your pc..the alternate has to unpack everything, so it generally takes longer. [00:18] alan_m: the regualr live Cd, i got it from discountlinuxdvd.com [00:18] foey_: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html [00:19] Ice_Max, yeah :) [00:19] kevjava - Python, Whats Best program to get to grips with?

[00:23] Excuse me, but I'm running into quite a bit of a problem lately. The problem is that whenever I open a link in firefox(or a torrent in deluge) that contains a lot of Japanese characters it somewhat messes up and does not display these characters [00:23] I have 2 video device usb and pci bttv [00:23] Can anyone help me with this? [00:23] <[T]an1> can anyone tell me how to use my bluetooth headset with ubuntu? want to use it with my softphone [00:23] OK, I will install Debian. [00:23] Encoding, have you installed the language packs for the japanese characters? [00:23] And another problem I have, is that the panels aren't where they're supposed to be. Can anyone help me with that as well? [00:24] Do you reccommend it? [00:24] alan_m: I just did. Some SCIM thing came up too. I disabled Japanese input. [00:24] (I have no need for Japanese input, just output) [00:24] UsuarioDoBrasil : yes,but why don´t you try Ubuntu [00:24] Note: It worked fine in ubuntu 7.10, with the exception that scim was kinda broken for me back then [00:24] Did I get the official Ubuntu IRC?

[00:26] I tried starting Ubuntu on my laptop via the Live CD and it took 45 minutes for it to completely lock up. [00:26] It loaded the cursor and the background. [00:26] It was still freezing a lot. [00:26] But still, it shouldn't have taken that long. [00:26] It took maybe 10 minutes on my old junker computer (300 MHz, 128 megs RAM) [00:26] But why would it take so long on my laptop? [00:26] skyline969, have you tried the alternate install cd? [00:27] Skyline969: try booting with -noapci [00:27] Could anyone lend me a hand installing Beryl? The wiki is down at the moment, and I am a bit new to using it [00:27] I only have the Live CD I ordered. [00:27] Skyline969, thats ok, go ahead and listen to rsk :) [00:27] I started my PC up with an external soundcard attached, but it's no longer attached. How do I convince Ubuntu/ALSA to retect and use my internal soundcard instead? [00:27] How would I boot with -noacpi? [00:27] Skyline969: dont install beryl, compiz is already installed.

[00:29] no I'm not talking about booting from usb, well yeah that too but I mean I want a program that I can run from usb that will help me boot my disk because it's not booting up [00:29] it says 'looking for boot record', then it goes to the next screen and it's just black with a blinking cursor [00:29] where can I get the Qt 4 examples?, I searched in the repositories without luck [00:29] Wow, major lag. [00:29] chuy_max: try asking in #kde [00:29] Blaenk, silly question, is your bios capable of booting from a cd/usb? [00:29] chuy_max: or heck even #qt [00:30] I'll be right back. Gonna see if my laptop has booted. This time I'll wait a few hours and see if it loads.

[00:31] good evening from orlando [00:31] why do my USB drives randomly not mount? [00:31] hi all. i am trying to install the artwiz fonts on hardy, following those instructions: http://urukrama.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/artwiz-fonts-on-ubuntu-hardy/ . however, they don't show up in xfontsel. what am i doing wrong? [00:31] Blaenk :maybe it is related to your graphic card [00:31] alan_m: know of a way to fix that? also I'd prefer it if the panel that's on top(the windows panel) was below, and so I set it. But everytime I reboot it goes back to that position [00:32] no it's definitely not [00:32] good day folks [00:32] Thank God that the boot time from the Live CD is in no way as fast as it will boot from the hard drive once installed. [00:32] sometimes when I'm watching a video on youtube it will load and then firefox will suddenly close, how do i fix this? [00:32] rdz: http://movingparts.net/2008/05/17/sanity-restored-artwiz-fonts-in-kubuntu-hardy/ [00:32] what application should I use for streaming video, let say 1 frame per 10 second, from a bt848 pci device ? [00:32] there's some nonsense error about how there's an NTFS signature missing. [00:33] I have been trying to install additional artwork/icons in 8.04 but am not sure of the proceedure. could anyone guide me in the right direction? [00:33] is there problems with firefox and flash working together? [00:33] <[T]an1> i tried to run hcitool scan and got the following error: Device is not available: No such device [00:33] hey seth [00:33] <[T]an1> can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong? [00:33] yeah, you have to download a certain plug-in [00:33] kevjava, i've tried all those instructios... with no luck. but thanks [00:33] do you know which one? [00:33] morning all. or whatever greeting is relevant to your time of day :) [00:34] evening here [00:34] hi [00:34] Aha, rebooting in safe graphics mode is looking more promising, although it's still taking a long time. === kdridi is now known as toto [00:34] hiya un_dave === toto is now known as totototo [00:34] hold on a second, I'll look it up real quick, to see the one that works for me [00:34] Now I see a light light brown background, two white bars on the top and bottom of the screen, and the cursor. [00:34] encoding, i have no idea :/ [00:34] kevjava, the link you posted, points to another page, that doesn't work for hardy, since there is no artwiz package anymore === Varka_ is now known as Varka [00:34] camserv works fine with my usb quickcam (video0) but not for my pci bt848 :(( [00:34] why [00:34] Chaotic_Descent: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=524343 [00:34] hi [00:35] kevjava, i installed the fonts and i did all the config stuff, restarted X, but still they don't show up in xfontsel [00:35] alan_m: yeah, I tried installing Japanese support from System->Administration-> Language support [00:35] thanks. I'll take a look. [00:35] still the same thing [00:35] Yeah, you have to download the artwiz font from sourceforge. [00:35] Does anyone here work with ClicksAndWhistles IRC Client? [00:35] alan_m: how about the panel thing? [00:35] i have a simple one for someone out there, i'm installing azureus, and need to copy the extracted files to a permenant place to live. Where is the proper place to put them? [00:35] Ubuntu doesn't ship a package for them anymore. [00:35] Encoding, THAT should have fixed it....but..your saying it didnt? [00:35] I want to bookmark or favorite (or whatever it's called) this channel. [00:35] No clue how to, though. [00:35] Never mind, found it. =P [00:35] skyline what program do you use? [00:35] I was looking in /user/bin, but that just looks like shortcuts to programs [00:35] heh. it wants me to format the drive? I have all my digital pictures on there. :> [00:35] ok [00:36] when i am playing any videos in vlc or anyother app , the video are playing with colour or different color [00:36] ClicksAndWhistles, seth. [00:36] I right clicked a panel, made it go top, and then bottom again, but I can't save the config or something, everytime I reboot it's still sorta broken [00:36] last time I was here it only had about 900 users [00:36] why anyway did the maintainers of ubuntu drop that package? i cannot really understand it [00:36] It's for Windows. [00:36] oh then nevermind [00:36] maybe something screwed up when windows tried to run an agonizingly slow scan that couldn't be stopped instead of booting up and I hit reset. [00:36] Chaotic_Descent: no read post #5 [00:36] un_dave : do you install azureus from synaptic [00:36] Heh, once I get Ubuntu on my laptop, I'll need to get Winamp to work on it, Wonderland Online, and I'm gonna get Gaim. [00:37] jack_ is it libflash-mozilla? [00:37] zvacet: nope. i want to use the latest, so have the current version from sourceforge [00:37] anyone help me in the video [00:37] Skyline969: Try audacious instead [00:37] oh, thanks. Sorry. I think I'm getting tired. [00:37] seth - i believe it's just the shockwave flash plug-in that I have. "shockwave flash 9.0 r124" [00:37] of Winamp. [00:37] zvacet: hence the issue. it doesnt install, it's just a jar file in a directory [00:37] hmm ok let me look [00:37] i downloaded it when i used firefox for the first time [00:37] i have a server set up with ubuntu and i want to set up some kind of streaming audio so i can listen to my own music from work instead of crappy internet radio, is there a command line client i can download that will let me do this? [00:38] and went to a youtube page [00:38] it said there was a missing plugin, and i dled that one [00:38] let me look it up and see [00:38] zvacet: it runs fine as it is, but i just want to file it in the appropriate spot [00:38] Encoding, hang on lemme go try to find you something, i had an issue with my panels as well a while back. [00:38] ok [00:38] Hi All -- I'm having trouble installing a driver for my Brother brand printer, can anyone help me?

[00:40] hello [00:40] jack__ What model printer [00:40] zvacet: looking at the shell script for firefox in /usr/bin, it looks like the firefox system files are stored in /usr/lib. wouldnt that be a better spot for it? [00:40] this is the first printer I'm using with the computer [00:40] !who | jack__ [00:40] jack__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:40] will try mpeg4ip... but it's overkill for my project [00:40] Encoding, try this and tell me what happens http://www.ubuntued.com/?p=8, your gonna have to log out and back in after you do the instructions, then come back here.

[00:49] un_dave : you can put it in your home folder but if azureus is installed it knows where to go I supose it is /usr/bin [00:49] piojosso: just 'cd' into the directory with all the deb files that you want to install, then run 'dpkg -i *.deb', and dpkg should try and locally install them all.

I realize it's just a frontend for ndiswrapper, but still, it could make the process simpler and "warmer" for people having issues [01:18] onthefence928, are you on the fence between windows and linux?

If you do a fresh install, of course it will install the (slightly outdated) kernel that's on the installation CD. [01:30] Uplink, it will install java and a bunch of other nice goodies [01:30] bluefoxx Sounds like their doc lie [01:30] HardDisk, i have it [01:30] ubuntu-restricted-extras are great [01:30] <[T]an1> rampageoberon: how so [01:30] Restricted extras? Like MP3 and WMA support? [01:30] puff: so no downgrades required.

[01:36] HardDisk I am aware, I thought he was looking for quick simple and already probably installed [01:36] used to..../ [01:36] Jack_Sparrow; thrift shops sell me the hwole computer and overpriced at that. i can get a [once] top of the line s478 for <$10 at freegeek, and i will know it works too! [01:36] Actually, I think I'm gonna bring my laptop into the room here. Can someone Direct Chat me and walk me through as to how I can start the Live CD and get it to work? [01:37] in the mean time i have taken to dumpster diving for computers >< [01:37] Skyline969, boot from the livecd F6 to edit boot menu, remove quite splash -- and enter [01:37] Skyline969 At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" [01:38] Remove three things, "quiet" "splash" "--"? [01:38] Skyline969, as Jack_Sparrow said. [01:38] Ah, alright. [01:38] I'll just copy and paste that. [01:38] good idea :) [01:38] :) [01:38] Or not. =P It won't let me block it to copy. No matter, print screen works too. [01:38] how do I install a GRUB splash theme? [01:38] After an upgrade to 7.10 my wifi nor my network card work. the NIC card may have been broken, but the WIFI doesn't show up. [01:39] Alright, be right back. Gonna emergency shutdown my laptop and bring it here. [01:39] hey [01:39] Network shows no devices (except a telephone modem) [01:39] theFATMAN There are ways, but grub isnt glitzy like lilo in that regard [01:39] theFATMAN, www.ubuntugeek.com/startup-manager-change-settings-in-grub-grub2-and-usplash.html [01:39] i've started to play around with version control, and i was wondering what people had to say about different forms of version control [01:39] i suppose i should just build a new machine on 775 tech, but its still overpriced, and i like my new 478 cpu i found[3.2ghz 2001 intel p4 unlocked multi and ht tech, $10] [01:39] a la mercurial vs git vs svn vs cvs [01:40] svn [01:40] Anyone knows if theres an Postal 2 patch for linux? [01:40] Jack_Sparrow: just curious, I found a nice, simple one on gnome-look.org [01:40] why svn? [01:40] speek: we like to keep this channel dedicated to ubuntu support only since it is so busy. Mind moving your discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? [01:40] dunno I feel it's just faster and easier [01:40] Let's hope it loads more than just the desktop background this time. [01:40] theFATMAN That page that was linked should be all you need [01:40] jrib, sure, sorry about that [01:40] speek, you could always ppa.launchpad it as well [01:41] hi [01:41] HardDisk: thanks, i'm checking it out now, do you guys have experience with these? [01:41] i got a bit of progress on wifi [01:41] but i am stuck: [01:41] theFATMAN, don't worry experiment :) [01:41] HardDisk thank you for the good cam program [01:41] theFATMAN, you can't break linux if you mess up the grub theme [01:41] So remove quiet and splash? What will that do, really? [01:41] HardDisk: lol, last time i did that, i ended up with a white screen problem ;) [01:41] np [01:41] sasha@Visty:~/bcm43xx$ lshw -C network [01:41] WARNING: you should run this program as super-user.

If they are there, you can look through dmesg output for indications why driver loading fails. [01:42] Alright. Now checking. [01:42] how do I see where files are installed to for a particular package in aptitude [01:42] i think maybe the problem is the *network DISABLED line [01:42] soundray: could you give me some more specific help on looking at lspci output? [01:42] swhitt: dpkg -L [01:42] That's a lot of text.... =P [01:43] Skyline969, yep [01:43] Aha? Seems to have stopped here. [01:43] Skyline969 It will stop at the error.. making it easier, or it will flag it red [01:43] does anyone know how to mount a SD card in the media slot on my laptop? [01:43] And another error.... [01:43] subsume|work: have a look at the output from just 'lspci'. It should be easy enough to recognize your network devices. [01:43] mvinsc Most built in card readers aer propietary and hard to get going. [01:43] Is there a way to enable the wireless? [01:44] subsume|work: I assume they are PCI cards? [01:44] soundray: Cool. Seems to be there. There is a Network controller [01:44] hello all [01:44] I can get my system to completely freeze and cannot figure out what is causing it. Is there a way to have it log to a file instead of console kernel panic type stuff?

[01:45] bluefoxx, cannot mount then it shows up and i have no permissions [01:45] subsume|work: okay. What do you want to do, look for the wired Ethernet device or make wireless work? [01:45] anyone ever have a pscan2 attack ? anything ubuntu related? apparently it's a port scanner and let's just say I'm not happy at the moment [01:45] subsume|work; i think ralinks work pretty well out of the box[or i found] jsut find a wifi manager for ubuntu. [01:45] The screen went blank, then returned. I'm assuming that's normal. [01:45] mvinsc; cause it is windows file format [01:45] hey Rioting Pass-A-Fist, I like that username [01:45] soundray: I'm guessing the Ethernet device is dead.... making wifi work would be cool [01:46] There, says it's setting the keymap and whatnot. Should load fine now. [01:46] mvinsc; you need sudo to access it, unless you run chown/chmod on it [01:46] bluefoxx: =( I tried it but it didn't detect the device. [01:46] soundray: So if I pin just the kernel package for the kernel version I want, will the other packages (e.g. ehaders, etc) that the kernel depends on be held back? [01:46] subsume|work: RaLink devices tend to be a bit troublesome [01:46] subsume|work; was it in there when you installed? [01:46] rampageoberon: you ever use VMware?

It looks like it's loading exactly the way it was before I removed those two words from the command line. [01:47] subsume|work; weird. did you check the forums about the specific model? [01:47] soundray: is there a shot I can give it? [01:47] puff: I don't know, I haven't used pinning in the way you intend to. Perhaps it will be enough to set the kernel package to hold -- there's a command in synaptic [01:47] is it going to be radically different than ubuntu? [01:47] onthefence928: loved it, so did a proper install with dualboot (which i have not used since :)) [01:47] rampageoberon: why didn't you just use wubi? [01:47] It played the startup sound and now I see the cursor and a light brown screen. [01:47] As usual. [01:47] i need help -__- [01:47] Skyline969 give it a couple miutes there just to be sure then try those other tow additions to the command line [01:48] Alright.

It's still GNU/Linux like Ubuntu, but is desidged differently [01:48] subsume|work: first, look for anything in dmesg that relates to the device. A useful search is for 'rt' [01:48] onthefence928: wubi is good in some cases, though i didn't want to use it after reading about it [01:48] rampageoberon: and how do i go about install everything i need to run a windows XP VM? the VMware website is retarded [01:48] *designed [01:48] Skyline969 livecd doesnt do what shutdown on a hd install can do [01:48] Skyline969, did you add the other lines Jack_Sparrow told you?

[01:49] Skyline969, I would like to suggest to use the alternate cd [01:49] Well install VMware, create a new virtual machine mount the cd if oyu have an iso, or stick the ubuntu cd in and start the VM [01:49] ^ leads to a blank page!

But still, nothing gets done. [01:52] soundray: from the internet "after a quick google I discovered that everybody was having this problem and support for this chipset had been broken in 7.10; " ... "only solution I found was to build the kernel bits and bobs manually from serialmonkey just like the previous situation in Fedora!" [01:52] Jack_Sparrow, well there is an application that does everything blueman.tuxfamily.org [01:52] soundray: what does that mean? [01:52] can anyone offer me some insight into zenity and listboxes ?

[01:53] thx =) [01:53] hai guyz [01:53] never use apach restart [01:53] onthefence928, Virtualbox is better because it does USB 2.0 [01:53] apache graceful is your friend [01:53] subsume|work: it's not as terrible as it sounds, and I think you should do some more diagnostics before you decide to compile your own driver. [01:53] !find blueman [01:53] File blueman found in openclipart-png, openclipart-svg [01:53] ? [01:53] ty [01:54] Should it have at least loaded the background image for the desktop by now?

[01:54] Skyline969 try with those command changes I gave you [01:54] Please give them to me again. I got the ones to remove. [01:54] Jack_Sparrow, this is the Blueman Project [01:55] hi i was wondering how i can setup a dual boot system with linux on one hardrive and windows on other [01:55] subsume|work: but to answer your question, the serialmonkey project develops Linux drivers for Ralink Tech wifi cards. You can go to their site and download the latest driver source that hasn't made it into any official kernels yet. [01:55] Jack_Sparrow, sorry! I just checked [01:55] soundray: computer is a tombstone without a network card =) [01:55] HardDisk: and i can run teh zune software with it? [01:55] onthefence928, yes sir. [01:55] soundray: I'm reinstallnig, and /home is on a separate partition. I'm copying dpkg.log into my home directory so I can see what packages I installed. Anything else from / that I should back up? [01:55] HardDisk Per the link (The deb packages in the repository are already patched, I will also make merges with official ubuntu packages) [01:55] harddisk: thank you [01:55] onthefence928, I have one as a gift. [01:55] CaptainMorgan: the /etc/motd just points to /var/run/motd, so you need to figure out how to change that [01:56] Jack_Sparrow, sounds good [01:56] where do i put frostwire skins? [01:56] subsume|work: 'dmesg | grep -C 2 rt' [01:56] HardDisk We can look at it more when I am less tired [01:56] It showed a grey box at the top where the top menu bar would go, but it quickly disappeared. [01:56] HardDisk: cool can you point me toa tutorial to get it running? [01:56] !clone | puff [01:56] puff: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [01:56] <[T]an1> HarDisk: holy crap thats cool!!

[01:57] can anyone tell me how i can setup a dual boot on diferent hard drives? i alreaady have ubuntu on 1 but i can't install windows on the other hardrive [01:57] graceful tells apache to stop accepting new requests and finish serving the ones it has, then it restarts it [01:57] Uplink, please do not repeat, check the frostwire website. [01:57] HardDisk, i did [01:57] Alright. What will the noapic acpi=off do? [01:57] puff: if you have any databases, back them up separately. Also backup /etc if you've made manual configurations in there that could be useful for referring to. [01:57] is there a .frostwire directory? [01:57] yes [01:58] should be [01:58] as a hidden folder in your home folder [01:58] tonewhy: its usually easier installing windows first and then ubuntu for dual booting [01:58] onthefence928, first go to www.virtualbox.org and download virtualbox it will take you to the sun website, choose your ubuntu deb and download and install it [01:58] Aha! The background image finally loaded.... progress is VERY slow in the loading department. [01:59] soundray: looked carefully and didn't see anything. [01:59] rampageoberon, but i don't want to erase ubuntu now, can i stil do it [01:59] ok, so i've got stuff installed. how do i get the gui to come up in xubuntu? all i see after login is nathan@ubuntu:~$ [01:59] Skyline969 Progress is progress [01:59] tonewhy: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm <-- have a look at that [01:59] HardDisk: i just got it from teh add/remove utility on ubuntu is that good? [01:59] Yes, progress IS progress, but I got this far this quickly without removing those two commands from the line. [01:59] subsume|work: how many lines of output did you get? [01:59] soundray: about 70 i'd say [01:59] I have files in my trash that won't delete no matter what I do. It always gives me a "Permission Denied" message [01:59] onthefence928, no because it doesn't support usb 2.0 [01:59] onthefence928, it will be really slow [02:00] <[T]an1> HardDrive: ok, so how do i set this to receive audio from my laptop... i changed the device in my mixer to BT Headset (Alsa Mixer) and get no sound [02:00] rampageoberon, ok [02:00] xTOGx: do alt-ctrl-f7 [02:00] doken [02:00] Skyline969 You may still end up using the alternate cd [02:00] xTOGx: does that bring up the gui? [02:00] nope, doesn't look like it responds at all to it [02:00] subsume|work: any output from 'lsmod | grep rt'? [02:00] [T]an1, is it paired correctly? [02:00] What do you mean, the alternate CD? [02:00] xTOGx: startx perhaps/ [02:00] ubottu: !automate [02:00] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/automatic-install.html - See also !cloning [02:00] Skyline969 text based install, no live gui [02:00] <[T]an1> HardDisk: it looks like it [02:00] soundray: some, but none seemingly related to the issue [02:01] If it's a CD different than the Live CD, I don't have it, nor do I have the internet connection speed to download it. [02:01] ok I need some help with a external drive that wont mount and I tried this after I made sure the ntfs-3g was and is installed sudo ntfsfix /dev/[DEVICENAME] [02:01] Where [DEVICENAME] is the name of the drive (i.e. sda1) and not working says unknown command [02:01] Zaiden, where where the files originally located? [02:01] -bash: startx: command not found [02:01] <[T]an1> the icon on the right side of the blueman window says caonnected [02:01] soundray: 5 lines. none obviously wifi related [02:01] Still, is startup gonna be THIS slow on my laptop once Ubuntu is installed? [02:01] Skyline969 It is available for free.. it takes awhile.. but they mail it to you [02:01] how do i install gvim in ubuntu? do i want vim-gtk? or vim-gnome? [02:01] [T]an1, ok, and bonded? [02:01] bullium: I think they were on the desktop, copied from a flashdrive or a CD [02:01] I know Jack_Sparrow, that's how I got my Live CD. [02:01] Skyline969 no... how much ram is in that box [02:01] subsume|work: is your wifi card PCMCIA? [02:02] 128 megs in this laptop. [02:02] <[T]an1> HardDisk: It does not say bonded... but the button at the top says unbond now instead of bond [02:02] xTOGx: not sure what the command for the graphical manager in xubuntu is, maybe someone else will know [02:02] Well below the requirements. [02:02] Skyline969 Might as well stop there... [02:02] <[T]an1> should it show me that its bonded in the list? [02:02] soundray: I'm not sure, but I don't think so. [02:02] lol Skyline969 no wonder :) [02:02] thanks, i'll check xubuntu, then i'll check back here in a bit [02:02] [T]an1, yes [02:02] thanks rampageoberon [02:02] But hey, the old junker I installed Ubuntu on had 128 megs as well, with an even slower CPU. [02:02] subsume|work: hidden inside your machine? [02:02] [T]an1, oh ok nvm [02:02] hey all, can you disable cdrom/dvd media check for gxine? Mine seems to take like 10-15 seconds each startup, during which gxine is unresponsive. [02:02] Skyline969 You are probably sharing video ram off that 128 [02:02] [T]an1, it's bonded [02:02] how do i install gvim in ubuntu? do i want vim-gtk or vim-gnome? something else? [02:02] soundray: its a card, oh yeah. sorry. [02:02] <[T]an1> last seen: says none [02:02] says something about a backend when I try to edit the files [02:02] And it still loaded the Live CD desktop. [02:02] thanks rampageoberon ;) [02:02] np xTOGx === r0bby_ is now known as r0bby [02:03] moccuo: vim-gnome [02:03] [T]an1, in addition you will need to sudo apt-get install bluez-btsco [02:03] Hi. I'm working off a live-session CD. How do I mount my external USB drive? [02:03] <[T]an1> i unbonded it and bonded it again. it sayd bonded successfull. [02:03] subsume|work: open a separate terminal and run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog'. In the other terminal, try 'sudo modprobe rt2400pci' [02:03] Ha! The Examples icon loaded! Progress... sweet, sweet progress. =P [02:03] Skyline969 Was it the same version of ubuntu? and how much ram is being diverted from that 128 to be used for video. Did the other machine have onboard video or dedicated card [02:03] <[T]an1> ok... gonna go get bluez-btsco [02:03] Zaiden, hmm maybe a process has them locked or something, has your system been rebooted since you trashed them? [02:03] [T]an1, then sudo modprobe snd-bt-sco [02:03] <[T]an1> i think i already got it though... [02:04] <[T]an1> yeah, i did that. [02:04] subsume|work: any errors in the tail output? [02:04] bullium: Yes, more than once [02:04] it should work then [02:04] The other machine had a seperate card. It was the same version of Ubuntu (this exact same CD), and I don't know how much RAM is being diverted to be used for video. [02:04] Skyline969 with only 128 minimize how much ram is diverted [02:04] How, Jack_Sparrow? [02:04] [T]an1, test it in skype [02:04] bios [02:05] soundray: the first command gave me things, but nothing seemingly related to the hardware.... [02:05] <[T]an1> never used skype [02:05] I don't even know how to access the BIOS setup on this laptop. [02:05] soundray: and mobprobe isn't found [02:05] subsume|work: nothing happened in the tail output when you run the mo*d*probe? [02:05] I know it says something about a network service boot by pressing F12.... [02:05] Skyline969 Something you should investigate [02:05] How do I mount an external USB drive? [02:05] When I try to delete the files inside the folder, it gives me a message saying "Not supported by backend" [02:05] soundray: modprobe, I meant that sorry. [02:05] <[T]an1> while skype is installing... can i use that with asterisk? [02:05] Normally, Ubuntu will mount your NTFS drive automatically. If it doesn't, it means the logfile for the drive is unclean (which means the drive was not unmounted correctly, i.e. not shut down correctly.) To mount it, there are a few steps you must take. [02:06] Fishscene, plug it in [02:06] Zaiden, can you move them back to the desktop? [02:06] HardDisk: ok so i'm downloading it now, what settings do i choose for teh sun downaloader? [02:06] soundray: might modprobe not be on my PATH? [02:06] I know it's something I should investigate, but I don't even have the documentation for this old thing. It was given to me through my school. [02:06] HardDisk, it's not mounting, I ftried to force it to mount in the GUI and I got a message saying it's not supposed to show errors in the GUI. (which I found amusing. :P ) [02:06] [T]an1, I'm not sure, I haven't used asterisk, some applications don't universally work the same, for example Gizmo has some issues with USB microphones, whereas Skype is ok. [02:06] Yes, and all the files are there [02:06] subsume|work: that would be extremely unusual. Did you mistype [02:06] ? [02:06] altnickname: when mounting ntfs drives make sure if its usb you do safely remove hardware, and shut down windows properly [02:06] onthefence928, choose ubuntu [02:07] <[T]an1> HardDisk: makes sense [02:07] soundray: I swear. 'sudo modprobe ... ' [02:07] Fishscene, what does dmesg say? [02:07] the install wouldn't finish the "install software" bit. now that i've got it running, is there any way i can finish that? [02:07] dmesg? [02:07] <[T]an1> HardDisk: my intent is to use this with a softphone and asterisk. [02:07] <[T]an1> so hopefully that is the case [02:07] Fishscene, run it in terminal [02:07] HardDisk: i did and now it's asking me to set a bunch of options and proxies for the sun download manager [02:07] subsume|work: it's normally in /sbin/ [02:07] soundray: found it in sbin [02:08] xTOGx: what do you mean? [02:08] onthefence928, don't use the download manager download it directly. [02:08] Jack, do you mind if I direct chat you so we can work through this more quickly? [02:08] I don't know the device name in terminal. I assumed "/dev/sda1" but it said the device was already mounted on /target [02:08] subsume|work: so 'sudo /sbin/modprobe rt2400pci' [02:08] it's 4am in Egypt a few more minutes and I have to go to bed sorry folks. [02:08] Skyline969 best to keep it in channel as I am trying to do some other work as well [02:08] rampageoberon well, i can't get the gui to load. maybe it's not there? [02:08] Alright. [02:08] could someone guide me through the ubuntu installation? [02:08] HardDisk Goodnight [02:08] I noticed once when i unmounted a usb drive i got a notification its safe to remove hardware, but never seen it after, any ideas? its not critical [02:09] xTOGx: sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop [02:09] jack_sparrow: could you guide me through the ubuntu installation? [02:09] Jack_Sparrow, not yet :D [02:09] Well, I remember seeing something about it being either 2 MB or 8 MB of VRAM when I was checking it in Windows.... [02:09] well i thought I did heck been useing the other harddrive and just put this in there and tuirned it on and thats the message I got how do I fix it [02:09] rogerdpenguin, www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron [02:09] sudo modprobe rt2500pci 'FATAL' module rt2500pci not found [02:09] rampageoberon, you know how to install software but install the os? [02:09] soundray: ^ [02:09] thanks [02:09] rogerdpenguin Just ask your questions someone will answer, I am about to try and eat dinner [02:09] rogerdpenguin: the ubuntu installer will guide you [02:09] altnickname: boot into windows and shut the drives properly i think [02:09] ok [02:09] still [02:09] subsume|work: so 'sudo /sbin/modprobe rt2*4*00pci' [02:09] ok I have to go sorry people for leaving you :D [02:10] bullium: sorry what? [02:10] im a bit unsure about installing and partioning [02:10] Jack_Sparrow, it's been a pleasure buddy [02:10] See you, HardDisk! [02:10] salam [02:10] HardDisk As always [02:10] Not a problem, thanks anyway, HardDisk [02:10] later guys [02:10] HardDisk: is teher anything else i need to know before you go? [02:10] and remember to support us in #ubuntu-eg :D [02:10] <[T]an1> HardDisk... thanks [02:10] soundray: not found [02:10] rampageoberon do i have to do that with the cd? i think maybe it was the cd was bad, and that's why it didn't go [02:10] onthefence928, uhh....I don't think so [02:10] rampageoberon, you said you wanted a guide for the ubuntu installation, but told someone else how to install a package. I wasn't being a jerk just curious [02:10] rogerdpenguin: do you want a dual-boot system? [02:11] bullium: you're mistaking rampageoberon for rogerdpenguin [02:11] I'll see you guys tomorrow [02:11] bullium: hmm, i didn't say i wanted a guide for an installation? [02:11] As I said Jack_Sparrow, it said something on Windows about there being 2 MB or 8 MB of VRAM (don't remember which). Oh, and it's loaded the Install icon now. All it needs to load is the two bars at the top and bottom. [02:11] soundray, I just caught that thank you [02:11] ciao babes [02:11] How do I view a list of drives? [02:11] rampageoberon, sorry my mistake... [02:11] oh jesus, my taskbars just dissapeared [02:11] Skyline969 cool.. [02:11] subsume|work: what kernel do you have? uname -r [02:11] rampageoberon, mixed u and another user [02:11] xTOGx: it could be a bad cd, the aptitude command will try and do it over the netwrok if you have an internet connection [02:11] Skyline969 Im off to make dinner... [02:11] after file search crashed and then teh force quit also crashed [02:11] bullium: no worries :) [02:11] soundray: 2.6.22-14-386 [02:11] ok, thanks rampageoberon [02:12] Alright Jack_Sparrow, thanks for all your help. Take care! [02:12] whats the command to copy a file to a directory? [02:12] Uplink, cp file destination [02:12] Jack_Sparrow, tomorrow I wanted to talk to you about something ubuntu related, so expect a pm from me ok?

[02:13] how do i change my sources? [02:13] Uplink, You didn't specify a destination. [02:13] soundray: maybe my computer is very old? [02:13] Ahadiel, i am on the destination [02:13] xTOGx: its the /etc/apt/sources.list [02:13] Uplink, then use . for current directory [02:13] bwah?

(actually try deleting the link in /etc/motd -> /var/run/motd, so make /etc/motd a new file and put whatever you want there. it might work) [02:18] seriosuly how do I expanded the authentication options ubuntu gives me for for wifi [02:18] soundray: 4 entries [02:18] RULR: use VLC Media player, plays alot smooter than totem [02:18] <[T]an1> anyone else here have any experience with bluetooth headsets connected to ubuntu?

[02:21] lol [02:21] thanks rama_su [02:21] puff: well, finger tips.

[02:21] s0|, Are you sure? What option are you looking for? [02:22] xTOGx: just get a domain name [02:22] rampageoberon, actually.. theoretically, that should work... I'll know in a moment [02:22] Ahadiel, any WPA preshared key would be a nice ********'ing sign [02:22] I got a virus on my Windows XP partition (big surprise), so I re-installed XP fresh. Unfortunately it overwrote the MBR with GRUB and now I can't get to my Ubuntu.

[02:23] Chaotic_Descent: it's called umount [02:23] ChaosTheory_: open file manager (Computer) and unmount there [02:23] rdz: truetype fonts work when dropped into ~/.fonts...that's as far as my knowledge goes [02:23] Ahadiel, the package is called wpasupplicant [02:23] thanks. why umount and not unmount? [02:23] Trying the grub-install thing except with the live cd booted up, it doesn't recognize "hd(0,0)" or (/dev/sda) for a target. [02:24] Chaotic_Descent: , I haven't the slightest clue :P [02:24] Ahadiel, there is not underscore [02:24] Chaotic_Descent: open file manager (Computer) and unmount there [02:24] I just re-formatted and threw on Ubuntu. After the updates and the restarts that go along with it, for some reason my firefox doest ever launch. I've tried to reinstall it, yet still the same thing. No debug info comes up, and nothing pops up in syslog [02:24] Chaotic_Descent: why not? [02:24] s0|, Well, okay then. I have no idea. [02:24] Chaotic_Descent: umount is the command not unmount [02:24] Chaotic_Descent: linguistically, it should be 'dismount' [02:24] ********* ubuntu still sucking [02:24] soundray: I've never understood the selection grub makes. what are those? kernel versions?

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [02:25] rampageoberon, worked! thanks! :) [02:25] CaptainMorgan: cool, well done [02:25] it won't let me. it says it can't mount it when I try to unmount it for some reason. probably because it's still hung up on it not being ntfs. [02:25] mneptok, I'd fix the bugger if I knew how. (that that this should be something I need to edit and fix things to get........) [02:26] s0|: that doesn't excuse the attitude [02:26] I tried umount. it won't work. it says it disagrees with the fstab. [02:26] How's this look for a partitions for a 200GB drive? /boot 8MB; / 50 GB; /usr 100GB; swap 1GB; /home 47GB; /tmp 5GB [02:27] have you tried to force it? [02:27] Chaotic_Descent: what's the full command line you are using? [02:27] s0|: if your wifi chipset is supported, there's nothing to install. you just connect to the access point. [02:27] Everything as ext3 other than swap, obviously. [02:27] I just tried umount /dev/sdb1 [02:27] sapph424: 8MB for /boot?! [02:27] sapph424, /boot should be a MINIMUM of 100mb [02:27] Chaotic_Descent: try 'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' [02:27] why does umount -h not work? [02:28] mneptok, the problem is when I attempt to connect to the access point it wants to know what kind of security is being used, and to provide credentials. the available options are not there. [02:28] sapph424: why are you breaking /usr and /tmp off? [02:28] *not the correct ones = not there [02:28] Chaotic_Descent, try umount --help? [02:28] try "sudo umount -f /dev/sdb1" [02:28] Chaotic_Descent, or man umount [02:28] Chaotic_Descent: stop asking philosophical questions ;) [02:28] That's good info :D I was basing it off guides for grub partitions that said they only need to be 1MB, so I was guessing. Clearly. [02:28] s0|: what encryption schema does your AP use? [02:28] mneptok, wpa (well wpa2) with TKIP+AES [02:29] is there such a thing as ntfsfix? [02:29] 这里有用gentoo的吗? [02:29] mneptok: I have no idea. I am doing my best to remember verbal instructions given to me earlier today. My only experience is with Windows, so much of this is new to me. [02:29] crytel_: please don't recommend force umounting when it's not entirely clear what the problem is. [02:29] sapph424: did you say its all ext3? [02:29] ubottu: That seems to be doing the trick. It was "hd(3,1)". If someone knows the GRUB developers, thank them for their contribution and then ask them to add a little more user friendliness to the next version. THANKS UBOTTU and others!!! [02:29] Ubuntu_ID10T: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [02:29] mneptok, there are zero WPA options being listed. theree WEP and one LEAP (if you count that as WPA is another thing) [02:29] dan: I did. Other than swap. [02:30] sapph424: ok, so Im curious, why a separate /boot? [02:30] s0|: WPA-PSK [02:30] ... how do I get out of that man mode? T_T why does Ubuntu continually confound me? [02:30] Aren't we all just bots. Don't sell yourself short ;) [02:30] mneptok, that option is not listed [02:30] s0|: what release of Ubuntu? [02:30] Chaotic_Descent: q? [02:30] ah, q. whew. [02:30] Ubuntu_ID10T: not all developers share the value of userfriendliness [02:31] * ChunkyKs reads up a bit [02:31] "Ahadiel: sapph424, /boot should be a MINIMUM of 100mb" [02:31] s0|: does your wireless chipset support WPA(2)? [02:31] dan: Due to endless problems with grub getting installed, part of today's troubleshooting du jour is a dedicated grub partition. [02:31] mneptok, I would have used it is I could ---- and am using 8.04 [02:31] I think it's worth noting that the *entire* point of /boot is that some bioses couldn't read above 16M [02:31] my movie quality is bad, even in vlc. i watched same movie in windows (gom player), everything was ok. whats wrong? do i need some codecs? [02:31] Anyone around who might be able to help with what looks to be an Xserver problem on Hardy Heron? [02:31] So /boot should be a MAXIMUM of 16M, if you bother with it at all [02:31] Still looking for help with programs failing to load if anyone is able to show me where I've screwed up [02:31] mneptok, it works find with the AP in "other less superior" operating systesms [02:31] someone had to give me a command to mount this damned USB drive, and now I can't eject it. [02:31] s0|: it's has always been an option on my 3945 and 4965 chipsets [02:31] *it has [02:32] subsume|work: can I leave you to it? [02:32] !ask | Kyrin [02:32] Kyrin: 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. :-) [02:32] Chaotic_Descent: don't get frustrated. Share the error messages. Use the pastebin [02:32] wheres a place with one on one help [02:32] Chaotic_Descent: try fuser /path/to/mounted/filesystem [02:32] * JoaoVr Boas [02:32] !paste | Chaotic_Descent [02:32] Chaotic_Descent: 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) [02:32] RULR: you sure your video card is conf correctly? [02:32] Okay, so should it be a max of 16MB or a min of 100MB? [02:32] mneptok, so basically even tho I know that card can do it, I am basically out of luck since it didn't just work. [02:32] it'll show you which processes are eating memory [02:33] s0|: WPA and WPA2 work, with PSK, TKIP/AES, or LEAP. either your chipset does not support it, the driver you are using for your chipset does not support it, or you have broken something in trying to configure it. [02:33] s0|: try a live session [02:33] sapph: if you're running into problems because your bios is braindamaged [or old], you need maximum 16M [02:33] rampageoberon: I did, and got no answer, so rather than flood with a rather lengthy detail of the problem, I figured I'd ask if there was anyone available to help with my particular issue [02:33] on any modern bios, you don't need /boot at all [02:33] s0|: what chipset is this? [02:33] hi, i upgraded to the new ubuntu and now my firefox opens torrents in "transmission" instead of gnome-btdownload, and it doeesn't seem to work... is there a way to reset that to gnome-btdownload instead? [02:33] Chaotic_Descent: hint: if something is still using the mounted device (even just a shell sitting in a directory on it), it won't unmount [02:33] crytel_: no, i am on laptop. do i need some drivers? it didnt ask me to install it at all [02:33] soundray: I imagine so. yeah. thanks [02:33] mneptok, live session is same reslut [02:33] ChunkyKs: you need a LOT^ more than 16MB for /boot [02:33] Kyrin: it really depends on who is reading at that point, try the forums too [02:33] Chaotic_Descent: as soundray says, if you have a shell cd'd into it, you won't be able to unmount [02:33] subsume: so you haven't rebooted yet? [02:33] I've been running 8.04 for about a week now without problems, the system was running fine earlier today, I shut it down, removed a pair of 1GB PC-5300 sticks of RAM, replacing them with a pair of 2GB PC-5300 sticks. Now when I boot up, X has the colors all wrong, like there's a palette shift going on. Also, the mouse seems somewhat jittery, like, it's moving, but then kind of freezes, then it will move again. [02:34] I don't think my BIOS is the problem. Although that would be a good troubleshooting point next. No, the issue is that the ubuntu installer hangs when ., . . oh hell, just read the thread if you are interested: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824521 ;p [02:34] I'd try the forums if I had a working gui handy [02:34] Kyrin: instead of flooding i'm sure you could ask the same question every 30mins or so [02:34] mneptok: the purpose of /boot is for bioses that can't read above 16M. By putting a kernel there, you garauntee the bios/lilo/etc can read it [02:34] RULR, that would be my guess about the video becaue vlc seems to work fine on an older laptop with ubuntu to me [02:34] Kyrin: try sing elinks or links2 to use the forums [02:34] if you have a bios/bootloader/whatever that understands >16M, then you don't need a boot partition at all [02:34] ChunkyKs: /boot has other purposes. /boot is also where Ubuntu stores the kernel. each kernel is >50MB. [02:34] ChunkyKs: you do the math ;) [02:34] yeah, I have elinks, but most forums aren't txt friendly... [02:35] hi, all my alt+fx keys work, but I can't get the run window up alt+f2, tried to remap it and that failed [02:35] Kyrin: what's the resolution of your monitor? [02:35] I see instructions for mirroring just isos and instructions for mirroring the entire apt repo. Are there instructions anywhere for mirroring just one architecture? [02:35] 1680x1050 [02:35] mneptok, the silly thing is when I go to the network settings and hit property on the wireless connection it lists WPA-personal and such [02:35] s0|: what chipset is this? [02:35] uh [02:35] well [02:35] for a start, ubuntu kernels aren't 50M [02:35] well, I managed to force unmount, but now it lists an unmountable USB card reader on my computer listing. I wonder if it's safe to unplug it now. you know, I didn't know you were supposed to "eject" USB drives for the longest time while I was using them. [02:35] They're 2M [02:35] crytel_: ok how should i check my driveres [02:35] if i go and download/compile/install the latest bzip2, then the repo shows up with an update to the latest bzip2, will that break my packaging? [02:35] its a bit of a pain in elinks, but i know it works Kyrin worth a try [02:35] with 50M of modules [02:35] ChunkyKs: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:35] mneptok, I can look it up again. [02:35] WPA-Enterprise usually uses a RADIUS server for authentications [02:36] Alright, I'm back with a new question, on my laptop this time. I've got a Garmin nuvi 350 and want to use it with my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) for some wardriving. I want to make a map of my local area's wifi activity, but I can't figure out how to get it connected how it needs to be. [02:36] Kyrin, sounds like bad ram [02:36] mneptok, it's a texas intrstaments chip set IIRC [02:36] Can I set nested mount points? For instance have a partition mounted to /boot and another mounted to /boot/grub ? [02:36] But really. If you're suggesting a 100M boot partition, then you should actually be suggesting no boot partition at all. I *know* /boot is where the kernel is stored, that's the whole point [02:36] sapph424: Yes. [02:36] candive: I guess I should use the built in memtest on it... i hate memtest on 4GB of ram... [02:36] might as well try though I guess [02:37] Kyrin: just set it to run overnight [02:37] well thanks for the help. I'm going to run now. [02:37] My instructions weren't clear on how/where I should make the dedicated grub partition [02:37] sapph424: Otherwise you couldn't mount anything else once you mount / [02:37] try memtest on 8 gig [02:37] So I'm fumbling in the dark, and this hairly thing feels like a grue . . . [02:37] Kyrin did you try switching ram back === xipietotec_ is now known as xipietotec [02:37] ChunkyKs: and those modules are important to leave outside of LVM groups. [02:37] How can I make my TTY have a larger Cols.x.Rows than the default? 80x25 is rather small and I don't mind having smaller text if it means I get more area. [02:38] ChunkyKs: (which is another reason for a separate /boot, and the need to keep it >100MB) [02:38] heh, mac address filtering is best defense against wardriving [02:38] candive: I will do that next, have to go for a drive to get it back from someone else I gave it to =/ [02:38] eross: not really, since they are easily spoofed. [02:38] Kyrin, couls any debris have slipped into slot === sean is now known as Guest68127 [02:38] * steph291 wires are the best ... [02:38] after updating to 8.04, my resolution dropped to 640x480 and it cannot detect my sony VGN-CR190 laptop screen. any ideas what to do? [02:38] ryanakca: what's the resolution of your monitor? [02:39] s0|: does the Texas Instruments Linux driver support WPA? [02:39] Wired net is the best defense against wardriving. [02:39] candive: I used an air can to clean it before, so, I'm hoping not, I'm quite careful about that [02:39] pfff [02:39] soundray: 1280x1024 [02:39] Kyrin, good luck [02:39] Faraday paint is the next best defense :D === Nith is now known as nith [02:39] ryanakca: try setting vga=0x31B as a kernel boot option [02:39] sapph424: Have fun with that. v_v [02:39] how about a .357 [02:40] soundray: and that'll give me what by what? [02:40] So what would be a good size for a grub partition. I am seeing bits around the net that say it need be no larger than a single meg [02:40] ryanakca: 1280x1024 [02:40] ryanakca: see http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~gerald/laptop/vesafb.txt [02:40] soundray: thanks :) [02:40] what program can detect screens? [02:40] ok, i think it might have finished while i was gone. it looks like it's rebooted [02:40] why a Grub partitoin? [02:40] ryanakca: do you know how to set it? [02:40] how do i get it to run? [02:41] why a Grub partition? [02:41] Kyrin, could you have bumped your video card assuming you have one [02:41] soundray: yes, add it to defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst :) [02:41] darth: http://www.forcefieldwireless.com/ === Muffie is now known as Rtiy [02:41] sapph424: You can usually get away with about 32-64M for /boot/. Don't mount /boot/grub/ separately. [02:41] how do i get my gui running? [02:41] soundray: thanks :) [02:41] ryanakca: well, for a trial without permanent changes, you can edit the kernel line at boot time [02:41] Hey guys, i jsut downloaded a torrent file. It finished downloading and downloaded a folder to my desktop. I opened the folder and there was a .daa file. how can i install this? [02:41] !bootoptions | ryanakca [02:41] ryanakca: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [02:41] xTOGx - startx ? [02:41] Seb: Please see the thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=824521 for my issues and why a dedicated grub partition was recommended to me. [02:42] darthmarth37: upgrades will fail with that small a /boot [02:42] And by all means, tell me if you disagree. [02:42] thanks eross [02:42] danbhfive: 128M, then? [02:42] dude! [02:42] xubuntu comes with firefox! [02:43] sweet! [02:43] candive: laptop [02:43] the system|preferences|screen resolution tool cannot dectect my laptop screen. (Older Ubuntu worked fine.) What program should I run to detect the screen and install the proper driver? [02:43] you guys all rock. if any of you ever come to toledo, i'm buying your beers [02:43] darthmarth37: something like that. Im no expert, but I have seen people run out of space on /boots of 100mb [02:43] hello, how would i find where my audio card is? /dev/sda? im trying to make it work in virtual machine [02:43] xTOGx: if i ever come to Toledo, please buy beer for the firing squad i hire. ;) [02:44] how do i find out if i'm alsa or oss [02:44] Hey guys, i jsut downloaded a torrent file. It finished downloading and downloaded a folder to my desktop. I opened the folder and there was a .daa file. how can i install this? [02:44] eross: If you don't know, you're alsa. [02:44] i try ..... mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0/ -o force .... but it says [02:44] yeah you can easily run out of space on 100mb if you roll your own kernel [02:44] block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [02:44] problem is i have onboard audio and a pci audio card === sean is now known as Guest16820 [02:44] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0, [02:44] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [02:44] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [02:44] dmesg | tail or so [02:44] Ouch. I suppose I can only make educated guesses, as I haven't used Ubuntu in quite a while. [02:44] dru: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:44] wushin: There is no danger of me ever rolling my own kernel ;p [02:44] Kyrin, must be ram or something chose that exact moment to die [02:44] tyler_: .daa files are nasty, you want to search google on how to open them [02:45] : hello, how would i find where my audio card is? /dev/sda? im trying to make it work in virtual machine [02:45] I quit rolling my own as a teenager. got in too much trouble [02:45] Goodnight all [02:45] sapph424: thats what I said 8 years ago and now Im doing it all [02:45] What all goes in /boot/, then? It can't be more than kernels, grub stage2, and the grub config file, right? [02:45] hello, does anyone know how to configure laptop screens? [02:45] Linux changes you.... [02:45] oh spare me [02:45] darth: I hope you're not asking me ;p [02:46] sapph424: Anyone who knows, really. [02:46] anyone help? :( [02:46] sapph424: I looked at the link you sent. That person was not suggesting making a separate partition for /boot/grub. He suggested installing grub to a separate partition, ie not the MBR I believe [02:46] dan: Understood. So /boot would be sufficient? [02:47] So anyone else looked into postpath? http://www.postpath.com/ [02:47] sapph424: Should be. You would just need to install the bootloader on the /boot partition as opposed to the MBR. I presume the installer has that option. [02:47] what's that? [02:47] darth: I sure as hell hope so ;p [02:47] postfix that works as an exchange server with all the exchange features [02:47] sapph424: you may end up with two Grubs basically the one that is part of the Ubuntu install and your one on your Grub partition [02:48] and then like me, you may have it updating the wrong menu.lst when you install a new kernel and so have to do those changes manualley [02:48] sapph424: well, I suppose. I have no idea about separate /boots, but it looks like there is no need for a /boot/grub : ) [02:48] wushin: I'm curious, what goes in /boot that takes up so much space? [02:49] Hi all. Am using Ubuntu 8.04 - have followed all instructions for getting Compiz working... I can't get Compiz to start automatically though . I have added emeraled --replace in my Startup programs in Preferences... What am I doing wrong ? [02:49] Hi, after I upgraded my Ubuntu installation to 8.04, my keyboard switching no longer works ... i went to the Preferences -> Keyboard -> layouts and it does say that I should be able to switch layouts using both Alt keys, but nothing happens when I press them. Used to work just fine. Any ideas? [02:49] /boot is just a few files really === caplink811-log is now known as caplink811_log [02:49] Okay, absolute newbie here. I just got started on Ubuntu and I'm trying to see if I can get "Eat The Whistle" to work. I went through the Autopackage thing and it says it installed correctly and that it was in with my other games. I looked there, couldn't find it, tried to search for it and can't seem to figure out where it is. [02:49] I can't find drivers for my "ATI Radeon Xpress 200M" video card. Help! [02:49] whats the command line for installing KDE or Kbuntu [02:49] sudo apt-get install kubuntu [02:49] thanx [02:49] SmackCrakin9, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:50] same thing or no? [02:50] oh right yeah -desktop [02:50] ok [02:50] anyone ? [02:50] darthmarth37: mine has the kernel, at 20m, and the initial ram image at 76m, and a backup at 76m, and several smaller files, so a total of 175, about. I suppose that backup is not needed [02:50] A 20M kernel? [02:50] that will install KDE3 [02:50] I can't find drivers for my "ATI Radeon Xpress 200M" video card. Please help me! [02:50] if you want KDE4 [02:50] you can install that to [02:50] prologil: have you tried adding it to the list of starting applications? [02:51] darthmarth37: vmlinuz, isnt that the kernel? [02:51] danbhfive: Yep. [02:51] which font does pterm use? [02:51] Wow, I had no idea Ubuntu kernels were that large. [02:51] anyone knows why layout switching would stop working after an upgrade? [02:52] darthmarth37: oops, 2m : P [02:52] Alright, I'm back with a new question, on my laptop this time. I've got a Garmin nuvi 350 and want to use it with my laptop (Ubuntu 8.04) for some wardriving. I want to make a map of my local area's wifi activity, but I can't figure out how to get it connected how it needs to be. [02:52] what is the math applicatiion in oo? [02:52] darthmarth37: heh, I was off by a decimal on all those numbers [02:53] danbhfive: I was going to say, a 75M initrd? v_v [02:53] blmo, there went X [02:53] darthmarth37: -h ftw! [02:54] mount -t udf /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0/ -o force .... am i doing something wrong? ... it still gives me an error that the dev/scd0 is write protected [02:55] lolz fatal server error:..........

I just got it in today (I work in a second hand store run by my folks) and I'm trying to get it connected so that I can say I can use it and buy it for myself.

[03:01] dru: you shouldn't need to specify a type [03:01] troxor: no i wish it says incalid mount option when trying to mount udf volume [03:01] Need help with Gimpshop. Installed Gimpshop, but gimp only runs from the terminal not from the applications menu. When it does launch from terminal, no gimpshop and this error: /usr/local/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/print: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpprint.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [03:01] invalid* [03:02] zaklinux: is there no 'gimp' icon on your application menu? [03:02] dru: what did you use to burn the files? [03:03] how do i get flash working in gutsy ? [03:03] troxor: windows vista .. i just dragged and dropped the files. [03:03] Kryin: oh its there, but nothing happens. If I remove Gimpshop using Synaptic, Gimp runs normally from the menu. But with Gimpshop installed, Gimp only runs from the terminal. [03:03] dru: Did you hit the burn button after you dragged and dropped all of them? [03:04] hello [03:04] zaklinux: so gimp is "running" from the terminal to the point that it throws that error out on the console, right? [03:04] dru: Something like "Burn these files to disc" [03:04] darthmarth37: yes ... when i run the disc in windows it reads fine, but its just linux (the computer i need it on" does not work [03:04] how do i setup ssh? [03:04] Good, at least your stuff is safely on the disk. [03:05] i'm having this problem where everytime i power my computer on, the layout switching keys don't work.. then i have to go to "Keyboard Preferences" delete my other language and add it again in order for it to work again.. any suggestions to fix this? [03:05] hi. How can I change my hostname? [03:05] dru probably you used a later version of udf, I think windows supports 2.5 and linux 2.1 (info may be out of date) [03:05] !hostname | sagredo [03:05] sagredo: Use hostname to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab [03:05] how do i setup ssh? [03:06] !ssh [03:06] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol.

[03:06] hello. can anyone please help me make that annoying system beep go away? i have tried allsamixer and muting it and saving it with alsactl store. i have also disabled system beeps with gnome's configuration tool but no joy. can anyone help me out? ;/ [03:06] dru probably, but since I make sure to write iso9660 cds .... [03:06] yo have to edit [03:06] iso9660 doesn't work for DVD, right? [03:07] xorg.conf [03:07] and add [03:07] Option "XkbLayout" "*" [03:07] zaklinux: I'm unfamiliar with gimpshop, but it sounds like it's not fully installed, or the libraries are not where they ought to be? [03:07] darthmarth37 doh, right, but vista allows you to choose 2.1 iirc [03:07] rickrud: im confused [03:07] !who | piros [03:07] piros: As you can see, this is a large channel.

[03:07] Hey how do i change my user josh's UID to 1003 properly without getting locked out of KDM in kubuntu? [03:07] I have a Dell machine at work, and I want to put Ubuntu on it (which means I don't have access to it now, and whenever I actually do get access I won't have chatroom access). Whenever I install it, after booting up all I get is a blinking cursor. This is with a wubi install. If I try to install the full version (gutsy and hardy) then I also get the blinking cursor, before I can even install it. What steps might I take to determ [03:07] ine and fix the problem? [03:07] Hey how do i change my user josh's UID to 1003 properly without getting locked out of KDM in kubuntu? I tried usermod -u 1003 josh but when i start up kubuntu im locked out [03:08] josh, first thing is to join #kubuntu ;). [03:08] I need to restrict access to a port to a list of IP addresses (all within the same domain). What's the simplest method to implement that, which allows me to change the list of allowed machines very, very easily? [03:08] josh: You also have to change ownership of all that user's files to the new UID. [03:08] with firefox, chatzilla is installed, any way to make chatzilla open without opening firefox? [03:09] how do i do that darthmartin [03:09] chown??? [03:09] Kryin: I suspect the same. Gimpshop supposedly is just an interface the makes Gimp look like Photoshop. I don't know even know where to begin troubleshooting. [03:09] hi guys, does anyone know why aptitude keeps telling me to use "safe-upgrade" instead of upgrade?? [03:09] josh: Something like chown -R josh /home/josh/ [03:09] Okay, putting my old ram back, things work, putting one of the 2GB sticks in at a time works, but when I put both in, that's when it screws up the palette... [03:09] uzair: It's safer, just like it sounds. ^_^ [03:09] lol, is that it? [03:09] unavailable, I highly doubt it, since it's an extension and not an application, and runs with the firefox codebase [03:10] uzair: Honestly, I'm not sure. I just couldn't resist the joke. [03:10] Lol. I hear ya [03:10] but im able to run it after firefox is closed [03:10] like i open firefox, then chatzilla then close firefox [03:10] unavailable, you close the window, but technically firefox is still running [03:10] uzair they changed the names for some reason. Probably can find a rationale on debian-devel somewhere [03:11] when I run gnome-display-properties to resize my display under the fluxbox wm it has no effect (but works under the default ubuntu wm [03:11] true [03:11] zaklinux: I would double check your install process, and specifically watch for the file which it was complaining about and make sure that gets installed somewhere [03:11] unavailable, in windows at least, when I close the window but chatzilla is still open, the firefox.exe process continues to run [03:11] Whats the difference between 'claws mail' and 'sylpheed' why are they so similar? [03:11] Ok im going to restart X [03:11] I did usermod -u 1003 josh [03:12] then everything kind of broke [03:12] So does nobody have any suggestions on how to fix the "blinking cursor upon boot" for ubuntu? [03:12] konversation said it couldnt write log files [03:12] so i went to console (Ctrl + Alt + F1 [03:12] josh, somebody already told you that you needed to change the permissions to match [03:12] PullMyFinge iirc gnome-display-properties makes a change to gconf , and some gnome daemon triggers an xrandr event. If you figure out what start (gnome-settings-daemon?) it should work [03:12] right [03:12] and i did chown josh -R * [03:12] josh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale [03:12] dude i just want this hassle overwith its such a pain in the ass just to change josh's userid.. i dont understand why [03:12] brb [03:12] First time using xchat and first time in the ubuntu server. Now that I think about it, it's probably been about 8 years since I was on irc =O [03:13] hmmm, I'll just try saving the changes and restarting then :) [03:13] uzair, ouchy [03:13] so, do you guys mind if I idle? [03:13] this is why irssi was made :D [03:13] uzair Not at all [03:13] uzair you're welcome, with the other 1200+ ;) [03:13] cool, thanks.

Not enough experience to say much more, sorry [03:19] ok [03:19] Jack_Sparrow, not this time around, indeed. But many times before... [03:19] when it comes up, use arrow keys to move up or down your grub menu [03:19] anyone else? [03:19] eross: and pick ? [03:19] the one on top is your default login, the one under it should say recovery or something [03:19] Jack_Sparrow, "offensive" is a very subjective word... [03:19] nickrud: I see, thanks u so much!

I failder to install firestarter in server CLI. how to block ports, load balancing, limit the bandwidth and proxy? [04:20] but it would be awesome to run ubuntu on zire... [04:20] ninjabuntu: then why do you ask in #ubuntu about it? [04:21] becasue I use Ubuntu [04:21] spencer_, that didn't help any :/ [04:21] and I want it to connect... [04:21] wols: How do I make sure it's hung? [04:21] ninjabuntu: but it's not a ubuntu problem is it? [04:21] so i can pt some Palm apps onto my palm...

All three are full of "reading block reading block reading block" etc. [04:22] ninjabuntu: does your palm have an local IP? does it connect via a network interface to your ubuntu? [04:22] Ubunto will not see the saddle... [04:22] puff: EXACT error please [04:22] it Connect Via USB [04:22] via saddle... [04:22] ninjabuntu: that doesn't answer my question [04:22] I am having trouble, I think xinetd isn't working. :( I am trying to get xvnc to work on port 5904, I have setup xinetd but netstat says nothing is listening on port 5904, can someone please help ? [04:23] it won see anything [04:23] i go to BRB [04:23] neil_d: restart xinetd then if you run it via xinetd [04:24] i go to the System/prefrences/palmOS Device and it just will not see it... [04:24] wols: done that several times, still nothing listening on the port. === bud3030 is now known as flint_dude [04:24] ninjabuntu: it's a "cradle" not a saddle... unplug it and plug it in again then check dmesg [04:24] sparky,http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java6/ [04:24] sparky, you can find the deb there.. [04:24] neil_d: is xinet listening on any other? what are your entries for vnc? [04:24] Okay, so I booted up a hardy live CD, clicked on the "install" icon on the desktop, selected manual partitioning, assigned the existing /root to root and checked the "format partition" checkbox, assigned existing /home, /swap and the 30GB spare /data partition, and clicked go. It's now been "installing system" for an hour or two, and for the past half hour has been at "96% Checking for packages to remove..." [04:25] troxor: i had to reset the xconfig again cuz when i typed the last command you gave me it said out of frequency range. [04:25] ok... [04:25] mrglinux, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Conexant_HSF_modem_drivers try this [04:25] wols: Okay, so I booted up a hardy live CD, clicked on the "install" icon on the desktop, selected manual partitioning, assigned the existing /root to root and checked the "format partition" checkbox, assigned existing /home, /swap and the 30GB spare /data partition, and clicked go. It's now been "installing system" for an hour or two, and for the past half hour has been at "96% Checking for packages to remove..." [04:25] spencer_: are you running amd64? [04:25] troxor: so i think we are back to square one :-( [04:25] brandan_: hrm, alright, that's ok [04:25] wols, nope [04:25] wols: Except update that by adding another 20 minutes to all time figures. === flint_dude is now known as bud3030 === Charitwo is now known as c [04:25] puff: you alreads said that. repeating won't endear you [04:25] wols, using intel c2duo [04:25] brandan_: CRT monitor? [04:25] troxor: yeah [04:25] wols: You asked for the exact error. That is the exact error. [04:25] sparky: are you running 64bit? [04:25] troxor: HP pavillion vx74 [04:26] wols: No Message... is dmesq a command in terminal? [04:26] puff: in the LOGS!

[04:26] Wols: sorry dmesg [04:26] arvind_khadri: thanks .. im looking [04:26] wols: The problem report is "the install is taking a long time and hasn't given me any feedback since saying it was 96% done 30 minutes (now 50 minutes) ago", the question is "is this normal?" [04:26] mrglinux, :) welcome [04:27] hey guys,.,.when i try to boot windos from grub i get error 13 unrecognized/wrong executable format [04:27] brandan_: try the same command, `sudo nvidia-xconfig` with no -- options [04:27] brandan_: you could do what I told you half an hour ago [04:27] wols: and what was that? [04:27] Bentley: scroll up [04:27] troxor: i typed sudo nvidia-xconfig i got some message, pastebin it? [04:27] wols: As for the logs, I quoted you quite literally what I was seeing in the logs. Many, many lines that start "June 11: 03:00:11 ubuntu kernel: ng block reading block reading block reading block reading block reading block reading block reading block etc." [04:27] wols: same question... is that some command line I need to type, or is thats something that needs to happen when i plug it in again... [04:28] puff: do a smartmontools check on your disk [04:28] ninjabuntu, dmesg is a command to be entered in a terminal [04:28] brandan_: it should be ok, can you pastebin xorg.conf though? [04:28] Where would one find the log of the boot sequence ? I saw some fatal error messages but they flashed by before i could actually read them .. TIA [04:28] troxor: have you EVER looked at logs? [04:29] cpufreq: /var/logs [04:29] cpufreq: /var/log/ [04:29] wols: logs are for suckas, I just punch at it until it works ;) [04:29] troxor: ok here is this, i will paste bin xorg.conf also http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19194/ [04:29] ok [04:29] arvind_khadri: :-( linuxant has license.. and i cant buy it [04:29] /var/logs [04:29] wols: just kidding- logs would be a good idea though, [04:29] wols: yep, i know thx, you don't happen to know which one would have the messages that appear on screen while booting ? [04:29] wols: /etc/services has the line "vnc4 5904/tcp" see http://paste.ubuntu.com/19195/ for the /etc/inetd.d file. when I try to connect I get a 'failed to connect (111)' error [04:29] /var/logs/ [04:29] wols: It's not installed. Should I install it, while the ubuntu install is still running? [04:29] Bodsda: thank you... [04:29] troxor: xorg.conf opens, but is empty [04:30] troxor: if I answer you properly someone will say !language cause I'd need to make many unfavourable comparisons with your IQ [04:30] ninjabuntu, your welcome [04:30] mrglinux, the one i gave you now doesnt need a license...just download it [04:30] puff: live cd has it [04:30] wols: sudo dpkg -l | fgrep -i smartmontools -> no results. [04:30] brandan_: er, /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:30] mrglinux, as a matter of fact am installing them for myself now :) [04:30] puff: dpkg -l smartmontools [04:30] troxor: ok sorry [04:30] puff: dpkg -L smartmontools [04:30] wols: easy easy my friend, take a step back and relax, be your true self now before the authorities step in and there are hard feelings. [04:31] wols: I probably shouldn't reveal my occupation then ;) [04:31] troxor: here is xorg.conf http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/19196/ [04:31] wols: ATtempting to invoke smartctl gets me "The program 'smartctl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install smartmontools. [04:31] emma: let's just say this channel needs me more than I need this channel [04:31] when i try to install adobe flash from firefox in gutsy, i am told that "install-3uf..rdt" provided by adobe is not well-formed or does not exist. how do i get flash working in gutsy ? [04:32] brandan_: sudo gedit that xorg.conf file, and remove the HorizSync and VertRefresh (lines 43-44) [04:32] puff: must be new then. check if badblocks exist [04:32] wols: How do I do that? [04:32] is there a way to update applications to the newest version without installing the source code from the website, pidgin for example [04:32] puff: by trying to run it for example? [04:32] avis: have you tried installing flashplugin-nonfree via apt-get ot Synaptic ? [04:32] arvind_khadri:yes but it is 14kb is it right ? [04:33] ramiel77: upgrade your gutsy to the newest version [04:33] troxor: and save it and close? [04:33] brandan_: yep [04:33] yes i sure have cpufreq. after doing that, trying to access flash on firefox's yields a "additional plugins are requried to display all media" [04:33] troxor: ok its done [04:33] wols: Ah. I thought you were saying "check if bad blocks exist on your disk", you were saying "check if the badblocks utility is installed." [04:33] mrglinux, the one i gave you later has max speed i guess...let me check it again [04:33] It appears to be installed. [04:33] then run it [04:33] What parameters? [04:33] wols, if i update it, does anything really change beyond the repositories and the apps? [04:33] brandan_: try `sudo startx -- :3.0`- if the out of range comes up, just ctrl + alt backspace [04:33] man badblocks [04:34] ramiel77: possibly [04:34] wols: Do you how I can change my default image viewer? (Not just for nautilus, but for all gnome apps)? [04:34] brandan_: we'll use 3.0 this time, so later we can pastebin /var/log/Xorg.3.log for wols [04:34] avis: hmm, sems like it didn't install properly .. sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree and re-install is the only thing i can think of .. [04:34] mrglinux, http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Conexant_HSF_modem_drivers am talking about this page [04:34] arvind_khadri: thanks [04:34] if i have a stalled application, how do i kill it, if i dont know the process name? ive got a stuck thunar session which i cant close, but ps aux |grep thunar brings up nothing [04:34] ok I still need some help with a unmountable drive [04:34] troxor: that just goes to that screen again and i can't do anything there [04:35] MrNaz: try ps aux | grep -i thunar [04:35] I'm trying to compile virtualbox-ose-1.6.2 [04:35] MrNaz: ps aux |less [04:35] I keep getting an error about xlibs missing when running configure [04:35] tried to clean the log files and terminal doesnt know ntfsfix [04:35] MrNaz: ps -A | grep -i "thunar" [04:35] what's the replacement for xlibs-dev? [04:35] Ashex: then get the xlibs dev package [04:35] MrNaz, right click on your panel, select add to panel, the fidn 'Crash Handler' add it,then click on the new icon then on the crashed app [04:35] wols it's not in the repos [04:35] brandan_: the ugly grey screen is normal, can you pastebin the /var/log/Xorg.3.log ? [04:35] Ashex: it is [04:36] Ashex: it may be libx11-dev [04:36] troxor: /var/log/Xorg.3.log is empty [04:36] well what could help is if someone could tell me where the logs are kept [04:36] wols, sorry I had to go to the bathroom, but yes, I am running the 64bit [04:36] Starnestommy, I installed that package and no luck [04:36] sparky: there is no 64bit java plugin [04:36] wols, E: Package xlibs-dev has no installation candidate [04:36] sparky: does not exist. use nspluginwrapper and the 32bit one [04:37] Ashex: apt-cache search x11 |grep dev |less [04:37] arvind_khadri: yees but please read first paragraph ... and on that page you must download from Download: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php [04:37] !info libxcb-xlib0-dev | Ashex wols [04:37] ashex wols: libxcb-xlib0-dev (source: libxcb): X C Binding, Xlib/XCB interface library, development files.

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:38] wols: Ok, I'm running read-only test of the disk.

[04:38] wols: I just did exactly that [04:38] troxor: i'm not sure I can find it....:-( [04:39] \nick bareta [04:39] Wulfie_lappy: then you didn't do it right [04:39] this is why we cant have nice things [04:39] arvind_khadri: is it worked for you good [04:39] ? [04:39] can any body talk to me ?

[04:44] does anyone know how to enable AGP fast write and side band addressing [04:44] brandan_: do what Bodsda says ;) [04:44] no one? [04:44] rver irc.anisubs.net [04:44] oops [04:44] eh, whatever [04:44] tahz [04:44] you know one of the main reasons I switched from Debian to Ubuntu years ago was the simple politeness of the folks in this chanel [04:44] I just did some searching on suns website and found the hardy amd64 build of virtualbox 1.6.2 [04:44] guess its gone the way of debian [04:45] so long folks [04:45] if i'm running tomcat/apache/mysql for most of the time, is it a good idea to switch to 64 bit? [04:45] troxor: just put in, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && ls -lah /var/log | pastebinit in terminal ? [04:45] Wulfie_lappy, dont listen to wols,. he's been rude to most people tonight [04:45] brandan_: yep [04:45] Please, i am desperate. No way tor escue my partitions?? [04:45] Bodsda: have you fixed your grub problem? [04:45] wols, yeah and guess what,.,.without those links [04:46] troxor: ok that's done. [04:46] brandan_, it should have given you a link? [04:46] Bodsda: and what was it? [04:46] wols, what was what? === c is now known as Chari2 [04:46] yes [04:46] the problem's solution [04:46] Bodsda: http://pastebin.com/f613978b3 [04:46] rafael: whats the problem? [04:47] wols, to create udev rules to stop drives reordering themselves then fixing the device.map [04:47] I can't find my encrypted partitions with luks anymore. I can only boot to livecd and I get from vgscan no volume group found [04:47] troxor, your xorg filenames are at the bottom ;~) -- http://pastebin.com/f613978b3 [04:47] I had a brokem installation, booted at Livecd, then chrooted and tryed to fixed it [04:47] troxor: i have a link? http://pastebin.com/f613978b3 [04:47] then reboot [04:48] Bodsda: sorry i hit enter as soon as you did.. [04:48] oh, sorry rafael i have no idea about encrypted partitions === Soulwarp is now known as ummm [04:48] anyone? [04:48] Bodsda: cool, this pastebinit thing is ;) [04:48] brandan_, no worries dude,,. do you understand what that command did? [04:48] Bodsda: Im a linux n00b so sorry, not really [04:48] troxor, yeah and try this,.,,. cat /var/log/someXorgFileHere | pastebinit [04:48] brandan_, want me to explain it for you? [04:49] Bodsda: sure [04:50] I just want to say Ubuntu is a great system and i love it a lot. It meets all of my needs :) [04:50] brandan_, the sudo apt-get install pastebinit just installed a small program that automatically puts things online for others to error check, the second bit ls -lah /var/log searched your var/log file and the | pastebinit put whatever ls -lah found onto the web [04:50] ummm, good to hear it ;~) [04:50] man, i am lost [04:50] Bodsda: how can you help me get my resolution with this? [04:51] rafael: what's in your filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf ? [04:51] brandan_, well i dont know the whole problem nor how to fix, but troxor was having problems finding the name of your Xorg files and the command i gave you helped him find the filenames [04:51] if you see here http://linux.dell.com/files/ubuntu/hardy/modem-drivers/hsf/ there are driver for x86_64 but why didn't make x86_64 in .deb package ?? arvind_khadri [04:51] Bodsda: ok, i see [04:51] brandan_: yep, pastebinit is just a convenience that saves you the trouble of copy/pasting over and over [04:52] Ubuntu isn't bad but I think it doesn't teach people linux properly like Slackware does [04:52] troxor: does it always auto pastebin all my information ? [04:52] # By default we accept every block device: [04:52] filter = [ "a/.*/" ] [04:52] # Exclude the cdrom drive [04:52] # filter = [ "r|/dev/cdrom|" ] [04:52] htmljunkie, the only thing that teaches people linux is LFS [04:52] rafael: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:52] it worked on last boot [04:52] This might not be related to channel topic. Can anyone tell me a good mobile phone emulator on ubuntu in which I can test a couple of .mobi sites? [04:52] they all have installers that install everything for you [04:52] htmljunkie, ubuntu = 'linux for human beings' nnot 'linux for people who want to learn how to code an os' but i agree it could teach a bit more rather then being so 'automated' [04:52] brandan_: from the output, we see that Xorg.3.0.log was the right file to look at -> so, sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.3.0.log | pastebinit [04:53] troxor, i believe you dont even need to sudo that [04:53] troxor: http://pastebin.com/f4e95dab6 [04:53] brandan_: only what you feed into it... commands with the | on the command line take output from the left side of the | and feed it as input to the command on the right [04:53] brandan_, pastebinit only pastebins the information you tell it to [04:53] Bodsda for the first time in a while, I let hardy guide me through installing codecs, setup wireless, etc. It was amazing how well it worked [04:53] Bodsda: perms annoy me ;( [04:54] htmljunkie: it's good to hear. this is why there are so many distros. for different ways people think linux should be distributed to the public [04:54] nickrud, i love the simplicity, but im slightly worried by the automation bug the devs seem to have [04:54] troxor: any idea?? [04:54] troxor, because catting a file does nothing to it you dont need sudo [04:54] troxor: is that helping any what I pastebin ? [04:54] Bodsda as long as the automation is transparent I'm happy.

[05:39] It sort of boots onto a black screen with text and says it's loading certain states, some of them it fails and will just stop [05:40] I've never encountered this before, because I've always gone to the ubuntu loading screen [05:40] brandan_: argh, yeah... it is using 'vesa' again, the fallback [05:40] I can't even enter my name then my password [05:40] tycel: I dunno, you can always do /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart :) [05:40] troxor: oh man...is it something I did wrong?

[05:48] sup guys [05:48] c420s: mplayer :) [05:48] clifford: i had problems getting my sound to work in the past with rhytmbox too. make sure you aren't running anything else in the background that uses sound such as flash movies or a game. [05:49] Bodsda: really? then my friend must be clairvoyant [05:49] brandan_: sure, try the test thing [05:49] brandan_: also, make sure the Driver is set to nvidia, under the "Graphics Card" tab [05:49] Soulwarp: the flash no longer works [05:50] is there anyone use arch linux?

[05:51] yesterday i uploaded 1000's of images but i found a bunch a dupes - i deleted them locally but what can i use to compare the directories and delete the "removed dupes" remotely? [05:51] the sound [05:51] brandan_: that's alright, before I make you re-login/boot, can you do anything in preferences->Screen Resolution ?

[05:53] w33d5: that may work.. but unfortunately i am not the right person to help with rsync [05:53] or unison [05:53] time lock [05:53] brandan_: alright, before you reboot, could you pastebin your xorg.conf again? [05:53] troxor: what is the thinngy to do that please? [05:53] brandan_: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [05:53] tycel: possibly the permission is missing [05:54] troxor: mind if i look at the file and see if i can help? [05:54] troxor: http://pastebin.com/f44624e68 [05:54] alright. i know there are howtos available on the net, but I don't get them. How do i start fluxbox after installing it? [05:54] troxor: :-) [05:54] i just installed the .deb package file for ayttm and now i cant find it in the Apps menu.

I just ran top from the command line, and it says there is 1 zombie, I'm assuming that it is a child process that got left behind, how can I find out what it is? [05:55] troxor: it shows my restricted drivers aren't enabled, coulld this be a problem, should I enable them? [05:55] brandan_: yep [05:56] Bhavesh: how would i go about doing that? thanks for your help. [05:56] how do i disable the x chat 2 logging? [05:56] troxor: now says restart is required, cause I enabled restricted drivers [05:56] Bhavesh: unfortunately so :( [05:56] linuxpwns: try someone else's suggestion it is much easier then mine and it is better suggestion [05:56] troxor how do i get that menu up i had before, that shows my resolution and all? [05:57] brandan_: alright, though if the xorg.conf doesn't reference 'nvidia' on that Driver line, your resolution will still be crummy :( [05:57] does anybody here have experience with virtual box? [05:57] could i just log off and back in [05:57] brandan_: sudo displayconfig-gtk [05:57] onthefence928: what do you need? [05:57] linuxpwns: Alt+Control+Backspace will reload your desktop [05:57] usually a VMware guy, but I've taken quite the delve into vbox [05:58] troxor: :-( sudo displayconfig-gtk is back to regular, plug and play, 800x600 [05:58] soulwarp: thasnks [05:58] giantsura: i am trying to set up a XP virtual thing [05:58] ok [05:58] so i can run the zune software [05:58] and it's telling me theres no kernal [05:58] how do i give it one? [05:58] onthefence928: hang on [05:58] so to speak [05:58] brandan_: we are trying to get you to use higher resolution yes? [05:59] troxor: I have an idea, sound ok? enable restricted drivers, restart, then try what we were doing here...again [05:59] Bhavesh: yep, the monitor doesn't give edid info though [05:59] Bhavesh: yes [05:59] brandan_: sure, we definitely want restricted drivers [05:59] onthefence928: go the the virtualbox website, to their downloads, select your installation and it will give you a .deb file, uninstall vbox from synaptic and install it from the .deb [05:59] what type /brand/model of monitor is it? [06:00] troxor: so i'll just reboot with them enabled then go back to sudo displayconfig-gtk and see what happens in there? [06:00] troxor: sound like an idea worth trying? [06:00] using the debian package will make better use, plus you dont have to constantly worry about the problems with the kernel thing when it updates [06:00] Back [06:00] what kind fo FTP software should i use in ubuntu [06:00] brandan_: have you installed your restricted drivers for your graphics card? doing this may help you increase your resolution [06:00] That was of no help dude, it just froze, I couldn't get out [06:00] Bhavesh: HP Pavillion vx74 17 inch CRT [06:00] DaLiang: server or client?

[06:01] Yesterday, my ubuntu was fine, I changed some settings with the graphics accelerator and went to bed [06:01] Now it doesn't work [06:02] Basically it fails to boot, it says its checking something and just leaves there [06:02] <__machine> i installed logrotate but it doesn't seem to be rotating my apache logs... do i need to do anything specific to actually enable log rotation? [06:02] Gemmie78: do you remember what those settings were? it's kinda vague to say you changed something and now it doesn't work ;) [06:02] hi, does ubuntu server edition works with the intel core 2 duo ? [06:02] Yeah i changed around the graphics accelerator settings [06:03] nomaS: yes it will, and please do not repeat your question in such short time [06:03] From a default to a one I felt which were more suitable, however it doesn't seem to boot today === [[mimpii_inddahh is now known as [ce][mettal][alu [06:03] Gemmie78:tell us the detail error messages. [06:03] If I'm screwed I want to recover setting data if that's possible [06:03] SmackCrackin9: try tailing the daemon.log while it's doing the handshake- also, make sure networkmanager, networkmanagerdispatcher, and dhcdbd are all running [06:03] SmackCrackin9: i had that problem for the longest time with WPC54G and for some reason it started working all of a sudden [06:03] Gemmie78: usually when you change your graphic setting there is a backup file you can use to restore your settings [06:03] If I go back, it wil take 20 minutes to come back here === mini_g is now known as Jalathan [06:04] yeah im using knetwork manager [06:04] hm [06:04] SmackCrackin9: `tail -f /var/log/daemon.log` [06:04] onthefence928: are you still there? [06:04] SmackCrackin9: that should tell you what networkmanager is doing [06:04] maybe theres another http server i should try sides apache and lighttpd >.> [06:04] giantsura: i did download form the website, it didn't come with a kernal [06:04] finally got it i think [06:05] A backup setting? Go on [06:05] onthefence928: it doesnt come with a kernel, it should tell you when you first install that it needs to configure itself for the kernel [06:05] should I "Save X Configuration File" ? in NVIDIA X Server Settings window [06:05] I was also using bittorrent and playing around with the firestarter program [06:05] OOMg !!! *stabs X* [06:05] Gemmie78: please wait while i find it [06:05] tycel: cd /var/www/html && python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer; SimpleHTTPServer.test()" [06:05] brandan_: yep [06:05] yo kids [06:05] Chances are my previous installed version was screwed up, if I can;t anyway I can retreive the data or settings for thunderbird etc? [06:05] what up [06:06] troxor: Merge with existing file ? [06:06] tycel: of course, whatever directory your html files are in :) [06:06] brandan_: unless there's a replace option :) [06:06] association took too long (>60s), failing activation. [06:07] troxor: nope, all I see is, a check box with whether I would like to merge with the existing file or not [06:07] onthefence928: run this in terminal /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [06:07] brandan_: sure, it's worth a shot after all this, huh? :) [06:07] whats the tail command do? read a file and print the changes to the screen/ [06:07] then try running vbox again [06:07] SmackCrackin9: tail will give you the last few lines of a file- tail -f will "watch" the last few lines of a file as it changes [06:08] wow hardy heron was ridiculously easy to install [06:08] troxor: I try saving it. it says.....Unable to remove old X config backup file 'etc/X11/xorg.config.backip'. with a Red symbol by it [06:08] brandan_: did you run it as sudo ?

I can be doing anything, have any number of programs running, and it will kind of freeze up until I minimize the active window, right click and restore the window, other times, X itself will fully freeze [06:09] troxor: no i just opened it from my System > Administration [06:09] brandan_: basically, anything that modifies files in places other than /home/ will need `sudo` before the command name- this extra hurdle is to prevent disaster === luke_ is now known as sakdjlaskdjlak [06:10] Any luck so far guys?

[06:28] vb123: install the http, php and mysql packages via synaptic and configure them =) [06:29] vb123: then PHP is not configured properly [06:29] I installed using apt-get. [06:29] what is synaptic? [06:29] So is it possible save the updates installed to diff partition so that i can reinstall later at one go? [06:29] that doesnt mean it was configured right [06:29] linux_stu:I must leave now.Because the class is begin. [06:29] linux_stu:bye. [06:29] bye,everyone.

[06:30] hello [06:30] raddy: im sure it is [06:31] raddy: yes [06:31] vb123: Be aware that there are a few gotchas, for example you have to install php4-mysql and php5-mysql to allow php to get at mysql, and you have to install libapache2-mod-php4 and libapache2-mod-php5, etc. [06:31] raddy: updates are saved in /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update [06:31] Soulwarp : ohh, cool [06:31] hello... i'm using irc in text mode in first time!

[06:31] puff: wrong, you do not need both php4-mysql AND php5-mysql [06:31] vb123: Unfortunately, I'm going to be AFK for a little while. [06:32] gaintsura: sure, you don't *need* any of this crap, you just need a C compiler, or an assembler. [06:32] is so cool [06:32] is anyone here really bored?

[06:32] gaintsura: ok so it didn't fix the error, but i tried going back to users settings and it won't let me validate [06:33] onthefence928: ? [06:33] gaintsura: Er, are you saying that php5-mysql subsumes php4-mysql? [06:33] gaintsura: Because if that's the case, shouldn't installing php5-mysql cause apt to remove php4-mysql? [06:33] you all should go digg this: http://blog.tsheets.com/2008/time-tracking-software/time-tracking-with-a-cell-phone-and-jott.html [06:33] somebody uses debian distro here? im trying to make a distro [06:33] raddy do the first half of the clone procedure copy the debs out of /var/cache/apt/archives , save them somewhere. Do the install, copy them back. then do the second half of the clone procedure [06:33] !clone | raddy [06:33] raddy: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [06:33] puff: yes... there is no need for both to be there, php5-mysql has everything php4-mysql has plus updates [06:33] Damn, this install CD is taking forever to startup. [06:33] gaintsura: Because if that's the case, shouldn't installing php5-mysql cause apt to remove php4-mysql? [06:34] not always [06:34] is there a software have this function? when i put my mouse on a file/folder ,it will display it's information . [06:34] nickrud: i never knew you could do that... [06:34] Soulwarp : FYI the packages are actually located in /var/cache/apt/archives [06:34] troxor: can u maybe explain how i install stuff from .tar.gz ? I still don't know how, I am new to Ubuntu ..... [06:34] raddy: yea i was wrong [06:34] gaintsura: Ah. Same story for libapache2-mod-etc? [06:34] puff: if php4-mysql is still on your system, remove it and see, apt doesn't always remove previous versions [06:34] brandan_: what are you installing/ [06:34] gaintsura: i mean it won't let me unlock [06:34] that I do not know, I started this system on php5 [06:35] Daisuke_Ido the real problem with it is the cache is limited to 500mb in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d [06:35] Daisuke_Ido: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash [06:35] onthefence928: are you putting your password in the box? [06:35] don't have the chance [06:35] ? [06:35] an unexpected error occurs [06:35] brandan_: you go into synaptic and install the "flashplugin-nonfree" package [06:35] it says [06:36] raddy: theoretically you can copy those over and you will have to open each package [06:36] brandan_: there's no reason to install that from a tarball [06:36] anyone can help? [06:36] it is installed, should I mark it for re installation ? [06:36] hakie: what is the problem? [06:36] cause youtube don't work now [06:37] err... you can try it [06:37] is there a software have this function? when i put my mouse on a file/folder ,it will display it's information [06:37] !repeat | hakie [06:37] hakie: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[06:37] hakie not really, the way you can see info is right click and select properties [06:37] does ubuntu server have a gui? [06:37] and where are you getting the error? [06:38] nickrud: oops :( [06:38] sigma_12 not by default [06:38] gaintsura: ok i got it working, should i check teh box next to root also? [06:38] sigma_12: not be default, but you can install one [06:38] whats a better screenshot program then the one built into Ubuntu ? [06:38] onthefence928: NO [06:38] http://blog.tsheets.com/2008/time-tracking-software/time-tracking-with-a-cell-phone-and-jott.html [06:38] nickrud : the procedure you suggested for cloning an installation was useful, but does it cover updates? [06:38] nickrud: if i install it how do i configure it? [06:39] onthefence928: congrats you got it working, I'm heading to bed, good night all [06:39] raddy when you clone, it just takes the names of the packages. So, when you tell it to do the dselect-upgrade, it will use the latest update available [06:39] sigma_12 the simplest way is sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , that's a complete desktop, properly configured [06:39] !tell virus [06:39] Factoid tell virus not found [06:40] brandan_ some people like scrot, apt-cache search screenshot will show you some more [06:41] nickrud:but it's a little inconvenient. [06:41] nickrud : ohhh, so after reinstalling, i should move all the backed up updated to packages to /var/cache/apt/archives then use the apt command to direct to the selections file, right? [06:41] ubottu, [06:41] there was this one screenshot program i used, it was for KDE but I ran it under Gnome also...it worked good.forget the name of it [06:41] hakie yeah, it would be nice.

"ubuntu lex" "ubuntu install lex" etc? [06:58] does ubuntu ultimate install a firewall? [06:59] da_YZman: I'm pretty sure it installs iptable by defualt [06:59] da_YZman: I've never seen a distro which doesn't ship a default firewall [06:59] chmac: i tried out.. but someone suggested me talk to you people.. [06:59] savin bison is the yacc default these days, and flex for lex . Running them, well, that's another question :) [06:59] installed 7.04 on sda; then 8.04 on sdb; start from sda/boot/grub/menu.lst working for both; now updated boot HDD priority set 1st HDD==sdb=> restart, correctly find sdb/boot/grub/menu.lst, not can not boot into any sys [06:59] iptables are installed, but not configured to block anything [06:59] savin: Well if nobody can help at the moment, back to the web... :) [07:00] chmac: which version do you have?

You'd cd into the directory then run sudo . If it's one of those dirs you can't cd into as your regular user, then use sudo -i to get a root shell, then you can cd in [07:03] chmac: no. i did not change anything for the grub file. i started pc, and press "DEL" button to update the bios setting, update boot HDD priority, set 1st HDD==>sdb [07:03] savin yes. [07:03] onthefence928: If you want to install Windows, you'll need Windows install media [07:03] pitsN: Oh, then that's your problem, change it back [07:03] nickolaus: what kind of video card... model... and the output method to your TV? [07:03] pitsN: You don't need to change where it boots to on the disk [07:03] pitsN: It can boot to one drive and then start the OS from either one [07:03] savin as well as bison and flex. If you need the posix version of lex, you need flex-old . And, we've just plumbed the depths of my knowledge of those. I know what they are, but using them is over my head [07:04] chmac: i did this for the reason: i take out my sdb and try to plug into other pc, to see, if it works [07:04] onthefence928 otherwise i think vmware will let you mount an iso, at least it does to let you install the vm guest drivers [07:04] chmac, when i do a ps -ef | grep iptable, it doesn't find anything [07:04] Is there a way to output a clone of my ubuntu laptop to my LCD tv via an Svideo.

[07:04] onthefence928: Simply put, no, but that's a Windows question, not an Ubuntu question [07:04] savin yes [07:05] onthefence928: Windows will kick, scream, bitch and moan at being moved from one machine to another [07:05] koshari not sure...

[07:13] chmac: i did this test: in order to boot directly from USB, but now it does not work || if i boot from sda, it can boot into both ubuntu [07:13] Jalathan: so does it work? :) [07:13] savin got it open? [07:13] Alright, so is there any possible way to run "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" on Linux? [07:13] all right, for some reason firefox tends to grab onto ALSA and never let it go. [07:13] pitsN: So what doesn't work? [07:13] I can't aplay or do pretty much anything with sound. [07:13] KyleK, one min, am testing it out. XD [07:13] is there any way to stop it from doing this? [07:13] nickrud: yeah, just opened that synaptic pakage manager.. [07:14] savin ok, now type ctl-f , and search for bison-doc [07:14] And in general, to kill processes that are hogging alsa. [07:14] nickrud: what should i do.. [07:14] for reference, when I try aplay, I get: [07:14] ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:874:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave [07:14] aplay: main:546: audio open error: Device or resource busy [07:14] what should I do? [07:14] savin did you see my last? [07:15] chmac: i updated pc's 1st HDD to USB; restart; found USB/boot/grub/menu.lst, there are several options to boot, but none bootable [07:15] nickrud: now returned with 2 packages.. [07:15] nickrud:on seraching bison-doc [07:15] pitsN: What do you mean "updated pc's 1st hdd to usb" ? Did you change the device numbers? [07:15] savin ok, click the box next to bison-doc , and select install [07:15] Alright, so how Would I get "The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall" To run under wine. [07:16] chmac: turn on PC -> quickly press "DEL" key, update pc boot priority -> set 1st HDD==>USB [07:16] nickrud: i should click on it and should mark for installation or what? [07:16] !appdb | Doper (your best hope for info on that) [07:16] Doper (your best hope for info on that): The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [07:16] chmac: ok [07:16] lo peoples [07:16] chmac: are you there? [07:16] savin yes, I think I just said that :) [07:16] pitsN: Ok, so the machine won't boot from your USB drive [07:16] pitsN: It's probably not configured properly to boot [07:17] I have searched the WineDBB and I have seen nothing about Daggerfall. [07:17] tico: Did you ask me a question? [07:17] Doper if it's not there, then probably it doesn't work. [07:17] nickrud: i marked it and selected for installtion, but i cant make out that it is getting installed.. [07:17] chmac: ok ready [07:17] chmac: it is booting now from USB; but i guess not configured properly, as i updated the HDD sequence? so the UUID should be updated as well in file menu.lst? [07:17] Alright, thanks then. [07:17] nickrud: one arrow mark in box has come.. [07:17] savin ok,next it the apply button on the toolbar above [07:17] chmac: i know how to do that [07:17] chmac: let me explain [07:18] tico: /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/blank_screen = true [07:18] savin I mean, click on the apply button on the toolbar above [07:18] nickrud: i should give apply now? [07:18] tico: Got it working :) [07:18] chmac: ALT-F2, “gconf-editor” [07:18] exactly [07:18] jajajajaja [07:18] chmac: good luck! [07:18] again a dialog box has come.. [07:18] chmac: or m i too funny? Actually I try to take my ubuntu8.04 on USB , plug into a normal XP PC, try to boot from that USB [07:18] tico: Good luck? It's working... [07:19] nickrud:shall i apply that now... [07:19] chmac: yes [07:19] savin yes [07:19] chmac: tested [07:19] chmac: what's the best to way to do above job ? [07:19] quick question... if my server's got linux-image-generic on in stead of linux-image-server.. does that mean that it's not running 'ubuntu server'/ [07:19] pitsN: You want to boot Ubuntu from an external hard drive via USB? [07:19] nickrud: there is option there called download package files only.. shud i click on it? [07:19] chmac: yes [07:19] savin no, you want to install them, not just download them [07:19] pitsN: That should work if the drive is consistently used on the same machine, but I don't think it will work to move the drive to different machines and boot it [07:20] pitsN: So it's showing the menu, but it won't boot from the usb disk, is that correct? [07:20] chmac: correct [07:20] nickrud:ok i shud just give apply now, by not ticking that "download pakage files only" [07:20] nickrud: is that ok.. [07:20] hi, i desperatly need an xfsprog update but my edgy has no newer version. how can i get the version of gutsy or later? [07:21] savin a sec [07:21] chmac: i have this version working from a usb, and works perfect! [07:21] nickrud: shall i apply that..? am waiting..? [07:21] savin yes [07:21] pitsN: Did you install Ubuntu on the USB disk and tell it to boot from that disk? [07:22] nickrud: somethin is getting downloaded.. [07:22] savin it'd been a while since I used synaptic, had to make sure I was saying the right thing. Good thing I looked, it had changed a little [07:22] pitsN: I'm not totally familiar with what goes on in /boot, but something is obviously not working, and I'm assuming it's because you changed the boot location or something [07:22] nickrud: so sweet.. thank u for that.. [07:23] piTsN: make sure the usb disk when you try to boot you are using "dev0" [07:23] savin now, to read the docs: evince /usr/share/doc/bison-doc/bison.pdf.gz === Chari2 is now known as Charitwo [07:23] piTsN: and not "dev1" [07:23] savin now you know how to find and install packages :) [07:23] pitsN: I gotta do some work, best of luck [07:23] tico: installed 7.04 on sdA, then 8.04 on USB, it works,but I have to plug in USB each time, if not, broken; so i update the grub, to boot from 7.04/boot/..; now works with or without USB; || [07:24] thanks chmac [07:24] tico: where to find "dev1" or 0 [07:24] nickrud: i dont know anything as now... [07:25] nickrud: what will i do by reading those documents... [07:25] savin, sure you do: when you decide to install flex, you open synaptic, search for it (ctl-f) , mark it for installation, apply apply :) [07:25] savin learn how to use yacc [07:25] piTsN: on grub menu use "e" to edit and you can see that. [07:25] how can i install a package on edgy? the mirror is gone [07:25] !eol [07:25] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases [07:26] i know how to use yacc in red hat linux..

[07:26] piTsN: wait [07:26] karmacoder edgy has reached end of life, it doesn't get suport anymore [07:26] piTsN: before make sure you are right [07:26] nickrud:but someone told me in ubuntu i will have to install it before i had to run lex and yacc [07:26] ok everyone [07:27] im ready to install [07:27] could someone guide me through the install process? === lagann is now known as lagann_ [07:27] piTsN: go to terminal then type "df -h" [07:27] savin I suggested you install that since bison has replaced yacc, and you should update your knowledge. Install bison to get the command yacc , and flex to get the command lex [07:27] karmacoder : you have to edit your source list and replace archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [07:28] nickrud: now the installation got over also... [07:28] savin now, to read the docs: evince /usr/share/doc/bison-doc/bison.pdf.gz [07:28] karmacoder : and if you can upgrade or make fresh install [07:28] nickrud: changes apllied it is telling.. sahll i close the dialog box...? [07:28] savin yes [07:29] on 8.04 32 bit gnome menu: system->Administration doesn't show synaptic package manager when trying to edit menu and checking the box for it .. the box auto unchecks when mouse is moved any idea on how to fix ? [07:29] rogerdpenguin : http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron [07:30] nickrud: now again i should install bison and flex packages or what?

[07:35] savin no, just click flex. That's what you are looking for [07:35] savin exactly. acpid is already installed [07:35] 23 gigs for ubuntu with a 500 gig external hard drive [07:35] how does that sound? [07:35] like you have plenty of space for bsod's! [07:35] :P [07:35] nickrud: in control-f it is returning only that acpid when i search for acpid.. [07:36] what is that supposed to mean?

[07:36] thanks [07:36] rogerdpenguin : you can partition your comp as you wish it is your decision what you want to do [07:36] a basic hardy system takes 6 gigs top just the OS [07:37] nickrud: how can see lex and yacc is running or not..? is it by going to terminal..? [07:37] resizing [07:37] savin yes, just like redhat [07:37] i wonder how long this will take? [07:37] nickrud: ok..

Mysql is located in /usr/lib/apache2.0/mysql [08:11] hello i upgrade my ubuntu today and the new 3 beta of firefox having english language and no can change to spanish [08:11] Just apply the system upgrade and you'll have a newer version that, I think, support languages switch.

[08:20] justme: im still running RC1 tho because it has the same name as RC2 so Synaptic thought it was installing the same thing, so it could get a lil tricky [08:20] usually seg faults are hardware related, not always [08:20] K^Holtz, that's bad ^^ [08:20] eg. i'd like to have 1280*800 -- howto make it? there is no selection on the screen-resolution [08:21] pitsN - try to add the resolution in xorg.conf [08:21] and restart X [08:21] justme: it could also be because i bypassed the regular repositories to install RC1 early, but im not pro [08:21] justme: id give it a try [08:21] soon [08:21] :> [08:21] open console type xrandr --help it will let u set screen resolutions (allowable ones) [08:22] justme: can you tell me the full path of xorg.conf?

[09:12] Jalathan: what's next step ? hope you are not destroying my ubuntu :) [09:12] Hey, I have a question [09:12] pitsN, this normally doesn't happen [09:12] Quintin: sup? [09:12] What's going to be faster... 2x IDE drives in RAID 0 , or 1x SATA drive [09:12] pitsN, try restarting [09:13] Jalathan: ok in a sec .. [09:13] Quintin: i'd shoot for raid [09:13] althout 2 x SATA > 2 x PATA [09:13] Quintin: raid if you've got a dedicated chip.. not sure if it still applies if you're using software raid [09:13] its not much more for SATA you know [09:13] hello [09:13] hmm [09:14] !hi tico [09:14] Factoid hi tico not found [09:14] well I want to do software raid 0 on my desktop [09:14] !hi | tico [09:14] tico: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [09:14] how are you [09:14] tico: not bad man, your Ubuntu system all groovy? [09:14] Quintin, be careful using 0, if anything were to happen to the raid, recovery is harder (if i remember correctly) [09:15] ActionParsnip: sorry what means groovy? [09:15] fserve, I ran the command it made a back I am going to reboot [09:16] ActionParsnip: ? [09:16] tico: groovy == happy == working == ok == no issues [09:16] ActionParsnip: ok [09:16] ActionParsnip: sorry ! yes everything fine just trying to boot faster [09:17] Is there anyone here with a howtoforge.com subscription in here who would be kind enough to download me 1 pdf? [09:17] Jalathan: me back :) what's next step to update resolution from 1440*900 to 1280*800 ? [09:17] ActionParsnip: but ... i don't have good results [09:17] pitsN: xrandr -s 1280x800 .. see if it works [09:17] which book is the best for introducing TCP/IP?From the foundation [09:17] ActionParsnip: i try to erase splash, use profile [09:17] pitsN: if it does, throw it in as one of the modes in your xorg.conf [09:18] pitsN, (this can also be done) does the resolution chooser show the option for 1280x800? [09:18] ActionParsnip: but the same. no big difference [09:18] Guys, I'm trying to upgrade Dapper to Edgy. But `update-manager -c` says my system is up to date. Why's that? [09:18] logixoul: try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:18] Jalathan: no option found for 1280*800. [09:19] ActionParsnip: I did, it updated a bunch of packages, but I'm still at dapper. [09:19] logixoul: try sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install, then try sudo apt-get upgrade [09:19] gejr: Jalathan :xrandr -s 1280x800 what this for ? [09:19] it sets resolution to 1280x800 [09:20] gejr: Jalathan : it says: size not found :) [09:20] logixoul: to upgrade between versions you need to change where your sources.list points at [09:20] tico: "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded" [09:20] mycroftiv: ah, I figured there was more to it :) thanks [09:20] pitsN, i have to apoligize, but i need to get off due to the time [09:21] Jalathan: thanks for the help though :) [09:21] gejr, could you help pitsN complete the process? [09:21] pitsN, no problem [09:21] :) [09:21] logixoul: you have a file called /etc/apt/sources.list with the URLs for your software update repositories. If you find the URLs for Edgy and change to them, then apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade should upgrade you between versions BUT [09:22] cool that guy broke my confiig :-/ thanks their is a backup file [09:22] What is the current state of unichrome drivers? is opengl working? [09:22] logixoul: please make sure to back up all your data and so forth, doing version upgrades often causes some breakage for people [09:22] gejr: :) [09:23] gejr: :) do you want to see my xorg.conf? it is blank [09:23] mycroftiv: it looks like s/dapper/edgy/g isn't enough to fix the URLs. now I get 404 Not Found. [09:23] what is happening with firefox and the little arrow thingy? [09:24] logixoul: yes i think there is more difference in the urls than just the single word [09:24] mycroftiv: that's weird... http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ lists everything except edgy [09:25] anyone noticed that in the new firefox rc1 that's in ubuntu repo, the font in the address bar is realy unreadable? [09:25] ya [09:25] logixoul: huh that is weird...I know the edgy repos still exist [09:25] naresh: when typing a URL [09:25] the actual url that appears below is so unreadable [09:26] anyone knows the how to insert a single record in multiple table ??? [09:26] pitsN, one last thing, here's a pastebin of my xorg.conf (be careful though, i am running an ati video card) that can be used as a guide: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19236/ [09:27] am i the only one having the firefox problem after the last update?

[09:28] hehe.. the windows-channel is much more quieter than this channel ^^ [09:29] logixoul: hmm the http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ doesn't list edgy in it -- it must be hosted somewhere, ill keep googling [09:29] bentob0x: http://commandline.org.uk/python/2008/may/22/list-files-recursively-modified-time/ [09:29] Hi, I want to play m4a files on amarok . i have installed all plugins and codecs but m4a files arent working :( what do i have to do?

[09:58] benikenya: NFS is pretty easy to setup for file sharing, or ssh is good too, or you could even just use stuff like wget and apache depending on what your needs are [09:58] glitsj16, ne2k__ but a ping to weather.com does not reach the resource.

I think you need to have root privileges (in other words, sudo or enter an admin password), not to intstall into the root directory. [10:04] Eararaldor1: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:04] tobago: could be a temporary outage i guess [10:04] #ubuntu-tr [10:05] Flannel, hotsmtp?? whats the server name? hotsmtp.blah.blah.com ??

[10:08] Flannel, ok, lol,. i really dont understand this [10:08] Eararaldor1: What do you mean doesn't do anything after that?

[10:09] Blue112: /etc/rc.local [10:09] tech0007, can I choose to launch it as root ?

[10:16] chrols: can you make a new user and try? [10:16] blue112: I understand that! thats why i said pull the configuration file out of the package without installing the package, then modify it to suit your setup, if you are confused about getting started with configuration [10:17] wols: thanks [10:17] helo, help me change the permission of my backup disk please...heres' the link of the data when i sudo fdisk -l:http://paste.ubuntu.com/19246/. i tried to configure fstab but the backup disk is not listed there..

[10:54] keddy: in fluxbox you can uncomment a line in startup that is commented as #uncomment to remove beep :) [10:54] psypointer: try another mirror, archive.ubuntu.com can be quite busy sometimes === smcnamara is now known as allquixotic [10:55] thank you jalathan was very helpfull [10:55] tech0007: its not a download problem. i'm using an apt-cacher here, the package is downloaded successfully [10:55] poypoy, np [10:55] i'm trying to use handbrake, however as handbrake looks through the titles (I am passing -L, looking for the longest title), handbrake crashes, citing a floating point error... does anyone know how to avoid this? [10:57] I just installed Gutsy Gibbon and dist-upgrade(d) it [10:57] hi [10:57] psypointer, so what you want the deb to do is to install itself, regardless of any issues with needing this or that? [10:57] but there is no inittab file in UBUNTU [10:57] how can I edit the number of ttys ? [10:58] I want to have 3 ttys, not 6 by default [10:58] arnuld edit /etc/inittab [10:59] does anyone know how to change the sequence in which modules are loaded by the kernel(udev)? [10:59] Jalathan: no, the problem is that the debian installer downloads this package when starting - base component it says. if it tries to load the libntfs-3g23-udeb it fails and the debian installer gives me a red screen and foo. preseed is deactivated after this but i need a) a automatic installation which works headless and b) a working preseed until the installation is finished [10:59] arnuld: move the /etc/event.d/tty* files you do not need to another name (for example tty5.disabled) [10:59] arnuld: e.g. sudo mv /etc/event.d/tty6 /etc/event.d/tty6.disabled) and so on [10:59] and i dont need ntfs support on the machines here, so if i could deactivate the loading of the ntfs debs as base components that would be okay @ Jalathan [11:00] #ubuntu-tr [11:00] there is kdevelop for kde, anythink for gnome ? like gdevelop or ?

[11:59] Then my extensions were broken, wouldn't update, and my profile was corrupt. [11:59] conrad: try re-starting pulseaudio, "killall pulseaudio" and "pulseaudio -D" to bring it back up [11:59] I just created and entirely new .mozilla dir and it corrupted after Firefox just closed. [12:00] glitsj16: did that, still get the error [12:00] RiotingPacifist: hardy-proposed has rc2 i think [12:00] where can I find an old version of a package ? [12:01] glitsj16: it will not sure if it has been published yet but should be soon if not already [12:01] conrad_: try shutting down all audio apps you have open [12:01] Hemebond: did you do this while mozilla was running, all i can suggest is to create a blank profile if that doesnt get coroupted then use something like FEBE to move all your stuff across [12:02] RiotingPacifist: Yes, I will have to export everything from 3 and import into 2. [12:02] Pain. [12:02] glitsj16: sounds like your issue will be fixed in flash 10. i have it in my PPA along with libflashsupport that you will need [12:02] glitsj16: yeah just noticed that it has been updated saves me the effort of doing it manually [12:02] Ubuntu should not be beta testing this shit. [12:02] sorry not glitsj16 but conrad_ [12:02] I haven't been able to empty my GMail spam folder because of a rendering bug in 3. [12:03] Hemebond: it has to and its pretty much final release. oh and never remove ~/.mozilla or change from ff2>3 and back [12:03] Hemebond: you could alwas have installed firefox2 from the start, if you dont want to test anything new either, remove all the new stuff from your ubuntu install or go with debian [12:03] gnomefreak: i guess that's right, firefox is hogging the sound [12:03] hey can I use a hardy version of gnome-do in gutsy? [12:03] conrad_: its flash bug not ff bug [12:03] Hemebond: remember, this is a support channel. No one here can address the fact that firefox beta is default [12:03] gnomefreak: yes, i mean it's something in firefox, a web page with flash [12:03] hi, is there a reason ntp-simple isn't available from 8.04's default package repositories?

[12:11] ColourAgga: how to kill compiz? [12:12] ReVoLveR metacity --replace [12:12] when I try to save a file from Firefox on to a smb share, it fails silently. this is commonly known as a Bad Thing.

[12:14] ReVoLveR: I've had a few problems in the past with panels disappearing and reappearing.. but usually only after opening and closing a lot of apps/general usage... This was with gutsy.. I have since installed hardy.. never did figure out exactly what was going on.. just going on record that i also have experienced that.. sometimes if i put my mouse cursor at the edge of the screen it would come back... on reboots it would be there though... just for [12:15] Kartagis: you need a version greater than the one in the repositories [12:15] ReVoLveR metacity --replace or compiz replace should do it [12:15] glitsj16, I'm on hardy [12:15] ReVoLveR metacity --replace or compiz --replace should do it [12:15] hi, anyone succesfully installed ubuntu hardy on ann asus a6r? [12:15] gnomefreak: i installed those two packages, put the problem persists after a reboot [12:15] Kartagis: which means you need to compile that too. Be sure you know what you are doing (ie don't go replacing all your libraries) [12:15] gribouille: that's why everybody advises you to not do it lol [12:15] glitsj16, but I never intended to do it [12:16] jack_sparrow, sorry I donno what metacity even, its been only 2 week since Im using Xubuntu [12:16] conrad_: than search on bugs.launchpad.net for your bug or file a new one. It maybe pulseaudio problem [12:16] glitsj16, I just want to install the version that was previously on my system [12:16] ReVoLveR open a terminal.. aplications,, accessories terminal [12:16] ReVoLveR: metacity is default Wm for gnome [12:16] gribouille: is the package still in your /var/apt/cache? [12:17] gribouille: I mean /var/cache/apt/archives/ [12:17] gribouille: apt-cache policy packagename [12:17] jack-sparrow: terminal is already open here. what do you want me to type there? [12:17] gribouille: you could install it manually if so [12:17] gribouille: apt-cache policy lirc shows two packages here. Is one of them, the one you want? [12:17] if the version you want is there install it using = or synaptic [12:17] ne2k__, no [12:17] ReVoLveR metacity --replace to start [12:17] gribouille: I didn't ask you a question [12:18] The program 'metacity' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: [12:19] ReVoLveR: are you using kde? [12:19] gribouille: 0.8.2 is only availbale in gutsy repo's .. might not be policy, but you can try changing your software sources for a moment (don't do any upgrades or other installs while you do this) and it might do the trick [12:19] I'm using Xubuntu [12:19] gribouille: is the package still in your /var/apt/cache? [12:19] ReVoLveR: thats why [12:19] ReVoLveR type metacity --replace [12:19] ReVoLveR: it uses xfvm or something along those lines [12:19] ReVoLveR type compiz --replace [12:19] Jack_Sparrow: thats the msg which came when I typed it. [12:19] Jack_Sparrow: metacity isnt used in xfce [12:20] glitsj16, but it was previously available for hardy, wasn't it ? [12:20] ReVoLveR: in that case --> xfwm4 --replace & [12:20] Sorry guys, just trying to wake up this am [12:20] and compiz isnt installed or on by default in xfce [12:21] i cant remember the exact reason or even if it has changed but IIRC hardy didnt use it in xubuntu [12:21] gnomefreak did I miss something.. earlier he was asking how to kill it, then that he lost the window decorations so I had to assume he had it installed [12:21] Jack_Sparrow: it said compiz isn't installed, shall I install it too? [12:21] I have a Phillips GoGear SA60xx, and in the gnome-device-manager, it shows up as a storage device (which is good, because that's what it is), but I don't know how to access the device as just a directory. I've seen a couple of things that might possibly work for accessing the device, but I just need simple folder-based access to the device. It doesn't just show up in nautilus like my USB flash drive is, so, I'm really baffled about how to [12:21] gribouille: once you update most of time the cache is cleared so you cant get it back unless you download it from external site and install using dpkg [12:22] ReVoLveR earlier you asked how to kill it, why ask how to kill it if it was not installed in the first place [12:22] Jack_Sparrow: IIRC he didnt have boarders he wanted a fix for it [12:22] something´ s very wrong with my kde3; everuthing I try to do, every aPP i START, THESCREEN OF THE APP IN QUESTION GOES GRAY AND TAKES ABOUT A MINUTE TO RESPOND OR BE READY FOR INPUT. wHAT COULD BE WRONG ? iT STARTED AFTER INSTALLING KDE4.1 BETA; i REMOVED IT, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS, MAYBE THERE´ S NO CENNECTION ANYWAY...

[12:46] wols, i have an application which requires higher kernel frequencies (works best with kernel generic). i need to do this :) [12:46] cnajhqohfq: then you have to recompile [12:46] scribawf: i generally like to keep the most immediately previous kernel version around, in case there are problems [12:47] wols, i recompiled with the only modifications being the kernel freq and processor type, and it didn't boot up. Then I tried installing the kernel generic, and it didn't boot up. [12:47] cnajhqohfq: so fix that problem first [12:47] Hi [12:48] I've got a problem with my graphich card [12:48] I want to install a driver for it...

I'm thinking of making a larger swap partition, how would i go about doing this? [13:21] thanks Jack? [13:21] np [13:21] Win2Ubuntu: just out of curiosity how much ram and swap do you have currently [13:21] 2 gig swap [13:21] ram...unsure [13:21] Win2Ubuntu use gparted to shrink the adjacent partition and expand your swap.. how much ram etc.. [13:22] Win2Ubuntu what version of ubuntu are you running [13:22] Win2Ubuntu: do "free -m" and paste the output in a pastebin [13:22] the latest one 8.04 [13:22] beirdo: well it appears to be running, you never know...

[13:23] ive run ubuntu fine in other versions, but i had a bigger swap file, so thats why i thought do to this [13:23] uhm, is it possible to see which processes is accessing a specific resource, such as a disk mount point? [13:24] Win2Ubuntu: okay thats 512mb ram, of which 209 is being used. In my opinion the current setup should be okay, but to increase swap space do what Jack_Sparrow said (use gparted) [13:24] Trying to unmount my home directory proves difficult as I have no clue which process is using it. [13:24] ok, thanks all, will give that a go [13:24] Win2Ubuntu no need to increase swap, I doubt that is the prob [13:24] righto, any advice in that case Jack_Sparrow? [13:25] Wyvern| Are you trying to unmount /home from a live cd or while you are trying to use it === allquixotic is now known as allquiZZZic [13:25] Win2Ubuntu: maybe if you tell us which applications or what instability you are referring to [13:25] I have /home mounted on a md array, which I need to unmount. [13:25] oh, it seems that the only app that DOESNT freeze is pidgin [13:25] Win2Ubuntu Perhaps check dmesg logs , [13:26] eg, all programs will not open [13:26] punyhuman: yeah have a look [13:26] I have killed all obvious processes, such as apache, samba, etc. [13:26] or will open and freeze [13:26] Win2Ubuntu HAve you tried turning off effects.. just in case [13:26] punyhuman, blah blah - i don't know how to fix it, sorry mate [13:26] btw....gparted is not allowing me to change sizes, i did run it with sudo [13:26] im thinking of doing this next (effets) [13:26] but i <3 my avn dock lol [13:26] Win2Ubuntu: download gparted live cd and boot with that [13:27] punyhuman, lol. what are you talking about? [13:27] punyhuman, r u crazy? [13:27] Win2Ubuntu you need to run live cd if you want to resize your ubuntu partition [13:27] Win2Ubuntu gparted live is a good choice [13:27] ah ok, will do next boot :) [13:27] thanks guys [13:27] punyhuman, are you feeling ok? [13:27] Win2Ubuntu what programs open and close on you. [13:28] oh nothing closes [13:28] Win2Ubuntu if you run from terminal it might show you the error [13:28] no actually it doesnt [13:28] ie, ill type in a command and it will simply stall [13:28] bonezau, tis ok... sorted [13:28] Win2Ubuntu open and freeze [13:28] punyhuman, are u sure? [13:28] rampageoberon ubuntu is a live gparted disc [13:28] punyhuman, you don't sound too confident [13:28] it could be that i perhaps install something [13:29] Win2Ubuntu if this is a fresh install I would suggest a reinstall, something is very wrong [13:29] righto, good avice, thanks :) [13:29] koshari: sorry? i'm a bit confused by that, please explain [13:29] ill do that after exams [13:29] Win2Ubuntu did you install things manually.. if so like what [13:29] yeah, a few things [13:29] AVN, pdigin [13:29] xchat :-p [13:30] rampageoberon the ubuntu live cd has gpated installed by default. so if one has that they dont need the grapted live cd to use gparted [13:30] Win2Ubuntu those can be installed from the repos, did you try and build from source? [13:30] oh no, i dont build things from source [13:30] i just get the from the repos [13:30] sorry if im a bit dull hahaha [13:31] koshari: ah i see, i usually tend to use the gparted live cd, but this info will be useful. thanks :) [13:31] koshari The gparted livecd in some cases works better and is cleaner that gparted on the ubuntu livecd [13:31] ill reinstall :) [13:31] Jack_Sparrow i agree, i generally use the gparted live disc with partimage [13:31] its a shame that the gparted live cd is no longer maintained (not sure if it is now) [13:31] thanks for ure tips [13:31] Win2Ubuntu if you didnt change sources and only use our repos then that is unlikely to be the problem [13:32] however the live version is fine 95 % of the time [13:32] righto. might well be the flash gui stuff [13:32] koshari Yes, it is certainly worth the 50 meg dl [13:32] but, i will give it some thought and see what i find :-D [13:32] hi, i accidently deleted /etc/init.d/networking and now i can't browse the web. my IRC works ok though.

It's my dad's work folder [13:35] lol [13:35] lol @ punyhuman [13:35] rampageoberon I see the latest release of gparted as Dec 2007 [13:35] nootrope: no but there are identd servers in ubuntu [13:35] punyhuman, how did you delete it? through the command line or through your window manager? [13:35] punyhuman: is it ext3? [13:36] Jack_Sparrow: yeah 0.3.4-11, i read somewhere that the person maintaining it didn't have the time and was looking for a replacement but didn't find anyone, so no newer livecd's were going to be released [13:37] wols, not sure how to use that info... any pointer? [13:37] Jack_Sparrow: actually just reading the news again, someone did take over on 8th april :) [13:37] great [13:37] wols, never mind i'll ask the google === Cormenti4 is now known as Cormentia [13:37] wols, thanks! [13:39] whats the ubuntu chat irc [13:39] Jack_Sparrow: will there be much difference now that its going to be based on debian? or negligible? [13:39] Hello, this may seem like a stupid question, but after installing kernel 2.6.24-18-generic, can I just change the number 17 in kernel 2.6.24-17-generic to 18 so grub will load the newest kernel? [13:39] willluongo: you can but you shouldn't have to [13:40] hi all, my CPU is running at a steady 80% with nothing running and cant see any process listed that is actually using the cpu that much? [13:40] willluongo, it is better to edit the grub config at /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:40] recon69: top. pastebin its output [13:40] * RabidWeezle sips some vitamin water [13:41] wols and ZeroA4: I am sorry I think I miscommunicated... I meant can I change it in menu.lst to 18 or do I need to change any of the following information [13:41] recon69, gnome or kde? [13:41] willluongo, when you installed the new kernel it should have automatically updated your grub config [13:41] you can sort by cpu on the gnome-system-monitor recon69 [13:42] and it tells you what's eatin your cpu up [13:42] RabidWeezle: gnome [13:42] or with top which wokrs everywhere. even whent here is no X [13:42] willluongo, run update manager from gnome, press check and let it install all required updates, then reboot [13:42] BonezAU : I had a custom list, and it asked me if I wanted to use the maintainer version or my local version [13:42] can i add custon dcop commands to gnome global shortcuts? [13:42] alright, load up gnome-system-monitor and all will be revealed [13:42] It is already installed, just not selectable from the boot menu [13:42] willluongo, ok then if you aren't too confident with the command line you could try sudo apt-get install qgrubeditor, that is a graphical interface for editing your grub config [13:43] willluongo, but be careful [13:43] wols, I like top in terminal, but I'm a big fan of gnome-system-monitor for easy-to-readness [13:44] RabidWeezle: looking at it, the only thing not sleeping is the system monitor , and when i look at the cpu graph it spikes to 80-90% usage, when an not looking it seem to drop [13:44] recon69: i've had that type of trouble occasionally with gnome, firefox, xorg, gnome-system-monitor all known to take up 100% CPU [13:44] RabidWeezle: I fixed my system..checked the dpkg log and it was as easy as "apt-get install gnome-panel". Dude you have no idea how grateful I am!! I spent 5 hours this morning trying to figure out how to get to a commandline without alt+f2 working via the live CD etc..etc.... crtl+alt+f1 is not mentioned in the Ubuntu documentation, maybe its obvious for longtime linux users but I searched online for ages and couldn't find it. . I was considering a r [13:44] BOnezAU I am good with CLI, I just wanted to know if all I had to do was change the 7 in 17 to 8 to make it boot 18. :) [13:44] recon69: yes system-monitor does that [13:45] sagmal wollt ihr mich verarschen?? [13:45] For example in the line: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-17-generic root=UUID=9996891d-ef11-4aa0-901d-f9084e349ed9 ro quiet splash can I just make it say kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-18-generic root=UUID=9996891d-ef11-4aa0-901d-f9084e349ed9 ro quiet splash [13:45] recon69: i suggest using htop from command line instead of system monitor at times [13:45] jetz gehts wieder?!

[13:46] BonezAU: Will that lose my ability to boot into other OS? [13:47] willluongo, no [13:47] huh [13:48] well, I guess I will live with it a while and see if it keep happening [13:48] hi, im downloading jdk5 right now but there's one package that has been skipped cos my connection went out for a while. will synaptic automatically go back and download the skipped/missing package?

[14:31] cjohnson: oo. i am not sure abt wubu. sorry about that [14:31] I installed a package that installed fine and works, but every time I run apt it tells me that there was an error in the post-installation script for the package. How can I get rid of this message without uninstalling the package? [14:31] BoltClock yes.. it is in the menu.lst [14:31] ok, it has finished "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" [14:32] BoltClock: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:32] ruiboon, it seems nobody is, google has no answers either :( [14:32] microwaver: and it only has plain image files inside the .rar?

[14:35] Jack_Sparrow, it's not that I want to use wubi, it's just that I'm tyring to figure out why Ubuntu in general is having trouble with my machine [14:35] idealprod: Do you know permissions, or should I explain it? [14:36] cjohnson You are asking wubi specific questions.. [14:36] can I ask a question?

[14:56] Hi [14:56] Hi! How can I install gnome-desktop-environment to a Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Server) x64-64 system? apt-get/aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment keeps complaining http://rafb.net/p/ihdnQj81.html [14:57] Pici: ah okay [14:57] One question, what is the lastest kernel avaiable fo rubuntu? [14:57] *for ubuntu [14:57] Pici: thanks :) [14:57] I think the .25 kernel is available but its very experimental [14:57] FJ_Sanchez: 2.6.24-19 [14:57] experimental??!?! [14:57] conrad:thats a good question i'am not really sure [14:57] lejon: its not in our repositories [14:57] At least it's stable in kernel.org :p [14:58] how can i see what is using my sound device, and kill it? [14:58] Ok thx [14:58] Pici, I haven't gotten the .24-19 version yet :P and yeah its not in the repo, but I think there is a backport somewhere I heard of [14:58] i'm sorry, this was wasted my entire day so far, i'm desperate [14:58] conrad_: lsof|grep /dev/... [14:58] conrad_, tried aplay -l? [14:58] conrad_, it you're not getting sound out of a game or something.. try killall pulseaudio [14:59] lejon: aplay: device_list:205: no soundcards found... [14:59] lejon: Its only in -proposed right now [14:59] lejon: but my sound worked yesterday :/ [14:59] conrad_, did you change anything or fibble anything with ur sound today? [14:59] Pici, yeah, the .25 is apparently ibex (8.10) [15:00] lejon: i didn't change anything, it stopped working this morning, ever since then i've been fiddling trying to fix it, yes [15:01] lejon: not yet. [15:01] conrad_, have you checked if you have any of the sound channels muted? like in alsa? [15:01] I need help installing a network printer [15:02] Lacrymology, what kind [15:02] Pici ive only heard that .25 is experiemental and apparently belongs to ibex and yeah, its not in our repos yet due to that ^^ [15:02] When I boot up, I get the following error: "USB 2-1 Device not accepted address 2, error -63" and it stops there. I don't get a graphical interface, and I can't get into a command line. What might cause this? The only USB devices plugged in are a mouse and keyboard. [15:02] lejon: i don't know how to check, but right now it seems like i have no soundcard installed [15:02] scunizi: it's an HP, I'll go look at the model if that's useful [15:02] I've just installed Ubuntu to an Asus EEE P701. It says proprietary drivers are used for the Atheros wireless card, but I can't get to connect to my wireless network? And eth0 doesn't exist. [15:02] conrad_, hmm, weird [15:03] LaserJet 1022 [15:03] I don't think we're ever going to get .25 in Hardy, are we? [15:03] KOJV, try the madwifi drivers from madwifi.org, they helped me [15:03] adam7 as far as I know we wont [15:03] lejon: i guess i have this problem : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=750997 but the solution they give is to reinsatll [15:03] install [15:03] I'm pretty sure the 1022 is a host-based printer [15:03] Lacrymology, naw.. that's ok.. HP's are pretty compatible.. you need to read hp's page on linux for correct setup.. ipp or lpt .. but it'll work [15:04] Thanks lejon. [15:04] adam7: No. Ubuntu will never do a kernel version bump after release [15:04] eg: printer equivelent of winmodem [15:04] conrad_, it could simply be that the driver aint loaded or was compiled properlly [15:04] KOJV, no problem :) [15:04] Pici: ok. I wasn't sure if because this was a LTS that would change things [15:04] but then, the 2.4 kernel is still supported, so 2.6 should be, I suppose. [15:04] Lacrymology, is it actually connected to the network or you want to network it via usb? [15:05] lejon: is that possible, given that everything worked until this morning, and then borked without reason? [15:05] conrad_: they're computers. anything is possible. [15:05] well, have you run any updates later? [15:05] * lejon agress with recon [15:05] "To err is human, to really screw it up you need a computer" :P [15:06] Anyone have any Linux Product Keys? [15:06] lol lejon [15:06] EMAGEHT: Are you being serious? [15:06] Linux Product Keys? [15:06] Yeah. [15:06] I don't think you'll need any to install Ubuntu.

Ubuntu does not require a product key. [15:07] Lynet Amen :P [15:07] I wonder what package I need to install a XP guest? virtualbox says that I don't have modules [15:07] lejon:i know that soo well:p [15:07] EMAGEHT: Try randomly banging the keyboard and see if it accepts the input. [15:07] It says "Thank you for installing Ubuntu XP 2003, please enter your Product Key". [15:07] thiebaude, I do too :P [15:07] Lacrymology, also you should be able to set a static ip address for it .. [15:07] "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" doesn't offer the option to select the video driver.. it only configures the keyboard ... [15:07] any idea why ?# [15:08] wy: the virtualbox-ose-modules packages are your friends [15:08] EMAGEHT, you sure you downloaded the real ubuntu .iso? [15:08] Yeah.

[15:15] trlx: lol, deal, i guess i had that coming ;) [15:15] WaaQ, google. sis ubuntu [15:15] k [15:15] Ericvw: Whats the difference? Is gvim gnome? [15:16] JonathanEllis: gvim is just a graphical front-end (using gnome). vim normally runs directly in a terminal environment [15:16] howdy, I'm trying to upgrade from gutsy to hardy without using a network connection - but every time I tell the upgrader not to, it keeps failing the upgrade because it couldn't fetch packages from the net... what am I missing? [15:16] As I stick a memory card into the slot, Ubuntu says Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. ?? [15:17] Stephmw, I'm guessing you're missing a network connection. [15:17] xserver-xorg-driver-sis should I install that? [15:17] KOJV, I'm using the alternate CD that contains a dist upgrader [15:17] KOJV, my understanding is that it should contain all the required packages already [15:18] i have 2 items stuck in my trashbin how do i clear them out? [15:18] Stephm: are you trying to get the 8.04 from cd-rom recognized as base ? if so, check your "software sources" settings to see that the cd-rom is the only source, might work === mDemocritus is now known as mDemocritus_ [15:19] How come I can't mount memory cards in my media slot? [15:19] As I stick a memory card into the slot, Ubuntu says Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. ?? [15:19] unknown filesystem? are these already formatted? [15:19] KOJV, bad drivers or unrecognized drivers? [15:19] Lacrymology, that still doesn't tell me if the printer is hooked via ethernet or into a machine via usb or some other way. [15:19] how do I make evdev hotplug work for my vx rev mouse [15:20] scunizi: ethernet [15:20] KOJV: Likely you have some fstab line which is for another removable media and not using UUID [15:20] dear all, have you used poptop-pptpd? [15:20] genii, you lost me at "you have". [15:21] viedeo quality on you tube is terrible, how can i fix it [15:21] lejon, okay where could I get drivers for the card reader in an Asus EEE? [15:21] video* [15:21] hi :) [15:21] RULR, get the video from a p2p thingie, not the tube. [15:21] hi how do i enable 5.1 sound? [15:22] KOJV, try asus own site, otherwise try to use lsusb to figure out the manufacturer [15:22] KOJV you just have to mount them [15:22] they should be in fdisk -l [15:22] sudo fdisk -l [15:22] KOJV: eg: Your file which gives hints to the mounting program has an entry for some other drive, the options or filesystem of which is not the same as the one which you are trying to mount. [15:22] KOJV: and my movie quality is terrible, like .avi files [15:22] hello [15:22] Lacrymology, so you'll need to find the ip of the printer.. not sure about hp but samsung has a self discovery tool for their ethernet printers.. hp might have something like that too. otherwise you'll have to manually configure it. samba isn't neccessary is this case.. [15:22] c_lisp, as I stick a memory card into the slot, Ubuntu says Cannot mount volume. Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume. ?? [15:22] RULR did you install your graphics driver for your card? [15:23] hi I have a small python script as a basic webserver, if I tell it to connect to localhost:9000 it does :) but if I tell it to connect to localhost:80 is doesn't :( failing with a "Permission denied". "netstat --tcp --all" says nothing is listening on port 80. how can I find out what wrong ? [15:23] c_lisp: yea ten minutes ago, the newest one [15:23] What is the difference between the packages nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-envy (or more generally what are the *-envy packages) [15:23] poopuser: it's not something you can tick in a box, but thi smight be helpfull --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4451132 [15:23] thx [15:23] neil_d, many isp's block port 80 [15:23] scunizi: once again, I ask.. how do I do this? I can't find any "install printers" or similar anywhere [15:24] mamefan, envy is a open source driver(installation tool?) [15:24] Lacrymology, open firefox and go to localhost:631 [15:24] lejon, I'm running lsusb, it says "Bus 004: eMPIA Technology Inc." and "Bus 003: Kingston Technology". [15:24] scunizi: this isn't going via an IP its local on my private net. [15:24] KOJV, is it the memory card reader or the usb that cant mount? [15:24] genii, still don't get it. [15:25] neil_d, ah.. ok.. in that case .. I don't know. [15:25] I am going to type out my question in full and hope for a response, but everybody just seems to be asking questions and getting to answers which is understandable. Okay so I have an external drive with a folder in it that I have successfully share used net usershare add, I can connect to it from other machines, but I have to use the username and password of a user on this machine, instead of the samba username and password I set up using sm [15:25] RULR, oh you mean video quality is bad overall in your Ubuntu system? Perhaps you need proprietary drivers for your graphics card then. [15:25] mamefan: envy packages have the extra capability of building the legacy driver for you if it checks out your card isn't supported by the new xfree86 ones [15:25] lejon, memory card. [15:25] #linuxind.dk [15:26] mamefan, if you have to use envy use the envyng package in synaptic.. [15:26] KOJV, well then you should tro lspci instead and see what manufacturer ur memory reader controller have [15:26] KOJV sometimes that happen if you use differnt cards [15:27] you can force moutn it sorry for the long reply im at work [15:27] scunizi: it seems that only root can access the 'low' ports. [15:27] it should give you the command to force mount it in the error message [15:27] that was random. [15:27] scunizi: great. Now I need the IP [15:27] KOJV: Perhaps earlier you had some removable drive, for instance say an ntfs usb thing. Then you made an entry for it in the fstab file which says it's ntfs and so on and it's name is /dev/sdb1 . But then you unplug it and another day put an external drive which might be for instance ext3 filesystem. The computer still thinks it should try to use ntfs to understand the drive. [15:27] * genii looks for his Advils [15:27] is it ok to talk about flash here without getting mobed by open source zelots [15:27] KOJV: i have proper one, and acceleration is turned on. all is set. i dont know what to do next, that is why i ask for help [15:28] neil_d, maybe because it's internal to the lan.. strange. [15:28] KOJV Most of those card readers seem to be propietary and a pain to find any info to get them going. The cheap dirty soultion is $5 external usb reader [15:28] lejon, all stuff are Intel 82801FB (ICH6). [15:28] hi, does ubuntu have verdana font? i am making design and fonts dont match :/ on windows it works good [15:28] c_lisp, it doesn't. [15:28] Rioting_pacifist NOt if you cant tone down your retoric [15:28] do you have to restart the server after changing the hostname ? I've changed my /etc/hosts file but hostname still gives me the old name ... [15:28] Lacrymology, check out another machine if you can that can print to that printer. [15:28] KOJV Well try and see if intel has some drivers for it, afaik intel is rather good at linux drivers [15:28] genii, okay. How do I remove the old entry? [15:28] is there any fix to the Dell BIOS revision A08 for a live cd? [15:29] KOJV, I have no idea how to fix it otherwise, seeing as my memory card reader worked out of the box [15:29] lejon, okay. [15:29] lejon, thanks! [15:29] KOJV If you manage to get it working, please let me kow what you did so I can pass it on to others [15:30] kojv no problem, sorry that I really couldn't help :P [15:30] Jack_Sparrow: sorry just had major troubling getting help over in #kubuntu, basically flash full screen worked fine under gutsy with kwin (not with compiz) under hardy it tears alot (both with kwin & compiz) im on an ATI system using accelerated drivers if its relevant [15:30] Jack_Sparrow, okay. As it looks now I'll just use my USB hard drive instead to transfer the wifi drivers. [15:31] KOJV: To find out the device name of the external drive, unplug it, then wait 20-30 secs, plug it back in. Then do: dmesg|tail and see in the last few lines which drive assignment it has (like sdb1 sdc3 or so on like that.) Then you look in the file /etc/fstab for a line with that device name and put a # at the start of that line. [15:31] scunizi: ok, mistake, or maybe not, I don't know. The printer's connected to it's host machine via USB, which is connected to mine via an ethernet network.. [15:31] Rioting_pacifist Ati are a pain and there have been lots of issues with tearing of video.. It is all in how the drivers get setup [15:31] has had nothing but problems with versions of flash 9 after r48 [15:31] in fact I still use 9r48 even though it has a known critical exploit [15:31] stodan: in terminal type locate verdana if its not showing up try sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts to install it [15:31] Can anyone tell me if there is a downloadable version of Ubuntu Live that I can install on a flash memory stick? [15:32] sharpe_uk: can 9r48 support fullscreen? i cant get it unwindows [15:32] When I boot up, I get the following error: "USB 2-1 Device not accepted address 2, error -63" and it stops there. I don't get a graphical interface, and I can't get into a command line. What might cause this? The only USB devices plugged in are a mouse and keyboard. [15:32] Rioting_pacifist If you turn off compiz does the tearing go away [15:32] legend2440, alredy done that [15:32] thx [15:32] it did in 7.10 but in 8.04 its the same with without [15:32] Lacrymology, ok.. now you're back to samba.. but if it's shared on that machine you might be able to locate it via system/Admin/Printing and searching for it after clicking "add printer" [15:32] how to make quictime play in ubuntu [15:32] i installed java thru synaptic and the plugin and still not working with ff2 [15:32] quicktime to play in ubuntu [15:33] !quicktime [15:33] sharpe_uk: you might want to check the 10 beta in that case http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4928900 [15:33] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [15:33] when i select a .iso file for burning in ubuntu hardy and select "maximum possible speed" does it try and burn as fast as the burner can regardless of media, or does it select a speed based on the firmware suggestion for the media inserted ? [15:34] i installed java thru synaptic and the plugin and still not working with ff2 [15:34] drive limits the speed === johnny64 is now known as yakobmatrix [15:34] hi, i use the bow playing screenlet, i use fix position but after a restart its on a wrong position, what can i do [15:34] rich16870: no, but have a look at this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/08/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-tutorial/ if in windows http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/05/15/usb-ubuntu-804-persistent-install-from-linux/ if in linux [15:34] sharpe_uk, based on media it will select speed ? is that what you are saying ? [15:34] avis, It uses the fastest speed it deems possible, and thats usually the burners fastest [15:35] Jalathan: Impossible, not hard. [15:35] >avis, yes [15:35] Jack_Sparrow: ive added DRI to xorg.conf, not entirly sure why but i thought it might help, but lsmod doesnt show any dri modules [15:35] >avis, the drive determines the media speed and will only burn at that so the software setting is a bit of a moot point (unless you want to underspeed it) [15:36] can anyone show me how to run this tar.gz file? [15:36] You don't run those, you unpack them [15:36] Rioting_pacifist /join #compiz ... they know alot about the ati cards [15:36] well i unpacked them, now what? [15:36] tmapj: are you trying to install a program? [15:36] ok thx [15:36] And if you don't know how to unpack one I must say you probably don't know how to compile the stuff inside [15:37] tmapj If it is a theme it just gets dragged and dropped onto the theme manager etc. but for the most part, you unpack manually [15:37] Yes, that program are you trying to install, it will probably be better to apt-get install it [15:37] i installed java thru synaptic and the plugin and still not working with ff2 [15:37] How can one create a file with the current date in its name? Like: touch test-%d.txt [15:37] Vlet Ill post an example in a sec [15:37] scunizi: ok, the thing was I don't have gnome, I run xfce, and I couldn't find it. man -k printers was the solution.

Is there any cons I should be aware except flash and java ? [15:38] tmapj: you shouldn't need to install the nvidia drivers from there -- the ones that come with ubuntu should do [15:38] Jack_Sparrow: you're a sweetie! :) [15:38] nickrud Morning [15:38] how to play quicktime in ubuntu [15:39] Vlet Not exactly what you wanted but close enough to get you there [15:39] good morning Jack_Sparrow .

[15:39] randall you installed sun-java6-plugin ? [15:39] genii, thanks! [15:39] yes [15:39] i've installed the firefox-2 package to hardy however when i click on that icon, it launches firefox 3.0. how to fix ? [15:39] nickrud: yes [15:39] tmapj: ok, then you probably want a tutorial on how to install them. the tar.gz is going to be a lot harder [15:39] Jack_Sparrow: for mysql dumps, it's perfect :) [15:39] !nvidia [15:39] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [15:39] cool [15:39] randall arg.

[15:43] adam7, tmapj if you use envy use envyng from synaptic.. otherwise you risk breaking your system [15:43] JediMaster: if you don't mind a different distro, I think the arch wiki has a fairly good one [15:43] icqnumber: i cant play games or anything that needs java in ff2 [15:43] scunizi: yeah, sorry, that's what I meant [15:43] !envy [15:43] envyng is an updated version of the *UNSUPPORTED* envy package.

You need to compile, like I do. Build-essential something and then make. [15:44] lejon, thanks! [15:44] KOJV no problem :P [15:44] tmapj, just follow my lead. sudo apt-get build-essential [15:45] tmapj, then open the unpacked folder in a terminal and "make" [15:45] KOJV: wouldn't it just be easier to use envyng to instlal the new drivers?

[15:47] adam7 can you pls just tell me how to open a tar.gz file like i asked in the first place [15:47] I Don't think you can run ubuntu with X off? [15:47] adam7: what do I do about it [15:48] KOJV no problem [15:48] glitsj16, thanks! [15:48] KOJV, try to google it [15:48] Levia: you'll either need to switch applications or find a nice gtk 1.2 theme [15:48] mystery_: when a window "darkens" that means that the program has denied you access probably because it's working on somethin or it's hanging [15:48] tmapj: tar -xf nameof.tar.gz [15:48] Levia, adam7 there is a package called gtk-theme-switch [15:48] lejon, yes found it too. [15:48] osx5, that's what server is ... little different kernel but no gui .. no x [15:48] KOJV, ^^great [15:48] adam7: are you saying the theme I'm using is too new for the GTK version I'm using or too old? [15:48] Levia: the theme is too new [15:48] adam7 after i do that i have a bunch of files, none of which are executable. what do i do with them? [15:48] why would anyone want to run ubuntu server when you could run slackware though with X off? [15:49] anyone know a cpp library to import .xm and .mod files ? 0.0 [15:49] kind of defeats the purpose of ubuntu then [15:49] Gat0rvean-> during boot, if you press escape and then e to edit the line where the kernel line is, then edit and then b to boot? [15:49] tmapj, to untar a tar.gz file you cd to the directory and use tar [options] to untar it [15:49] adam7: does that mean ubuntu's repo's have a older version of gtk as standard version? [15:49] scunizi: it doesn't seem to work on hardy. i never had a problem rolling my own ubuntu in gutsy. i get all kind of xorg errors now. [15:49] tmapj: No idea. I've never installed the nvidia driver that way [15:49] osx5, +1 ubuntu without a GUI is just debian [15:49] Stephmw: win32codecs aint working on 64bit ubuntu ? [15:49] Levia: nope, it should have the newest version, or very close to it [15:49] scunizi: i don't install server, i do a cli install from the alt desktop iso [15:49] adam7: so how come it doesn't work then? [15:49] Levia: some applications are older though [15:49] thank Babolat [15:49] amenado, thankyou [15:50] ah [15:50] is there anything i can do to prevent that from happening [15:50] JQ, still avoiding Jersey huh? :D [15:50] lee__, ah.. k.. sorry can't guide you any further.. it's at the edge of my experience. [15:50] emorris: Thanks, I think I can do what I need form one of those sites. [15:50] does anyone know how to remove emacs 22 gui from ubuntu [15:50] mystery_: could you shoot me with your hardware specs and which version of Ubuntu you have? [15:50] i just want the command line [15:50] version [15:50] icqnumber: do you know how for me to fix that so java will work [15:50] jamescowie: get the alt. install cd, and do a server install [15:50] adam7: the application I am talking about are administrative applications..Like login window, updater, synaptic, etcetrea [15:50] scunizi: no problem, i just cant seem to find any online information about doing cli's [15:51] jamescowie: sorry, that would be the server cd [15:51] Levia: ah, sorry [15:51] adam7: He just wants non-gui emacs [15:51] randall wahts wrong with your java? [15:51] babolat: sure. is there a code i can type to get all the specs of my machine [15:52] http://www.flickr.com/photos/pitel/2569870907/ any idea how to fix thuis bug with hardy and Chrome gfx card? [15:52] lee__-> what are you trying to install? [15:52] Levia: the problem there is the adminstration applications are run by root, which has a different theme (sometimes it gets screwed up, I don't know why) at any rate, the fix is to sudo ln /root/.theme ~/.theme and sudo ln /root/.icons ~/.icons (assuming you only have one user account) [15:52] no, mystery_ i just meant to know CPU speed, RAM amount, video card acceleration. and what ubuntu version you have [15:52] I am running KDE and utilizing Evolution for my mail client. An issue I see with it is that the message pane fonts are goofy. Who the email is from is fine, but the subject of the mail is so darn big it doesn't even fit in the space, anyone have ideas on how to fix this besides the obvious ones that have yet to work [15:52] babolat: there is a program called hardinfo that can do that. you'll have to install it though [15:52] Riotta, I'm not saying they don't - just that win32 implies they're 32bit codecs [15:53] amenado: hardy cli [15:53] ah [15:53] can someone remind me what that package name is for the extended gnome display manager? [15:53] c_lisp: it wont load in ff2 at all and everything is installed [15:53] c_lisp: cant play games or anything that needs it [15:53] adam7: for those very basic info an install would be too much a bother === Bodsda is now known as Bodsda|afk [15:53] sorry, after the lasts update, x-server not run on my box, i have a nvidia 8500gt, with nvdia-glx-new installed, in the upgrade list there is a "nvidia-glx-new". Now i restored my sistem from a backup file [15:53] zackfs14 twinview or xinerama or cinerella [15:53] how can i configure Firefox 3 [15:53] lee__-> I dont follow, once you install hardy, you will have access to a command line of bash or whatever shell you specify [15:54] adam7: /root/.theme does not exist [15:54] adam7: can I also just login to root and change the theme there [15:54] can i make the upgrade without nvidia-glx-new? [15:54] and then swithc back [15:54] amenado: i don't install the full distro. i do a command line only install and add the packages i want. [15:54] !minimal [15:54] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:55] oh ok cool im running Hardy, 1 gb ram, core duo processor at 1.6 ghz [15:55] babolat: ok - try this: cat /proc/cpuinfo; free m; glxinfo | grep direct; cat /etc/issue [15:55] rouini: like in all firefox versions, the user.js file in your profile dir, userChrome.css, userContent.css .. what do you want to achieve ? [15:55] randall install sun java 6 [15:55] lee__-> look into debootstrap, am not sure if 8.04 has it yet, last I check it only has one for gutsy, [15:55] jamescowie: I think you want the package emacs22-nox [15:55] c_lisp: i did [15:55] mystery_: you should be doing fine then [15:55] Levia: you can, if you can log into root. [15:55] mystery_: how often does it happen? [15:55] and i have an ATI radeon xpress 200M grahics card [15:56] babolat: sorry, that should be free -m, not free m [15:56] its been happening more often while using firefox 3 [15:56] adam7: it seems to have some problems though. complaining about gdm not running, etcetera. thanks anyway, I know what to do now [15:56] and you don't have any other javas installed right? [15:56] right [15:56] ls [15:56] Levia: ok, good luck :) [15:56] try to reinstall it [15:56] c_lisp: i did that to lol [15:56] like more than 3-4 times a day i guess [15:57] what is new for Ubuntu 8.04 comparing with 7.10 [15:57] I haven't had a problem wiht java check in synaptics and see if you got all the java 6 packages you need [15:57] randall: are you using 32bit or 64bit? [15:57] mystery_: does this happen in Firefox only, or generally other programs that you run? [15:57] adam7: 32 [15:57] I think there is 2 things you have to install [15:57] randall: ok [15:57] randall: browses to sun's website yet after removing all java plugins and let it pick one up from there ? [15:57] glitsj16: i have tried that to [15:58] lee__-> so are you using debootstrap? [15:58] amenado: how is debootstrap going to help me? [15:58] Doesn anybody know ho to get hypercam for ubuntu 7.10? [15:58] does* === charles is now known as snoopcat [15:58] randall: a long shot, tried a new profile yet ? [15:58] mystery_: does just firefox go gray, or does the whole screen go gray? and do you have the desktop effects turned on? [15:58] lee__-> it helps quite a bit, do you realized its the official installer for ubuntu? [15:58] snoopcat is hypercam a program or a model of webcam [15:58] adam7: everything is installed [15:58] Installing Ubuntu for the first time is pretty daunting. Tested it out on my main system with the non-install feature and it was mostly functional. Tried it on my other PC and it freezes on the desktop. This is going to be a long few days... [15:58] program [15:59] glitsj16: no i dont know how to do that [15:59] what is new for Ubuntu 8.04 [15:59] amenado: i can install a hardy cli just fine. it's getting x up and running which is the problem. my initial question was if there were any online resources (wiki/forum topics) on rolling your own ubuntu from a cli install. [15:59] !hardy | rouini [15:59] rouini: Hardy Heron is the codename for the current release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS) You can get it now from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu but please use !torrents [15:59] Jack_Sparrow: i just noticed the !gparted command needs some updating, would you be able to do it? [15:59] adam7: that didn't work. [15:59] randall: firefox -Profilemanager as start command will get you into that [15:59] Levia: sorry, what is "that"? ;) [15:59] mystery_: Firefox3 Beta5 has been known to go dark too often than it should. I recommend installing flashplugin-nonfree from Synaptic (if it's not yet installed) and the Java runtime environment. If this still doesn't work, try a separate installation of Firefox 2. [16:00] rampageoberon type out the changes for me like this !gparted is blah blah [16:00] adamin7:yes hardy [16:00] adam7: setting the theme when logged into root account, then switching back to my user [16:00] Levia: ah [16:00] ok good [16:00] and my other apps go gray too but not nearly as often [16:00] lee__-> you want to customize your own? seek in google for remaster ubuntu cd.. regarding X thats a separate issue to discuss [16:00] Levia: symlinking your theme directory and the root theme directory should work, though [16:00] Hi there... I've recently installed ubuntu 8.04, I'm not a linux noob, but I used gentoo previously. My problem is that hardware graphics accelaration doesn't seam to work very well. I'm running on a dell laptop, Intel 950 GMA graphics adapter, and compiz just is so slow that's unbearable, and scrolling in pages is slow too, with noticeble redraws... any help? [16:00] mystery_: that probably means the apps are either working or frozen [16:00] !remaster [16:00] Interested in remastering the !Ubuntu !LiveCD? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization or use Tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility [16:01] Jack_Sparrow: !gparted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [16:01] adam7: oh, the directory [16:01] hmmm... do i need more ram or something and yes i am running compiz luv the effect just got them working right [16:01] lee__-> there Jack_Sparrow is nice enuff to have the link ready for you [16:01] So, how do I get hypercam for ubuntu 7.10? [16:01] adam7: I thought the file. did the symlink now === Bodsda|afk is now known as Bodsda [16:01] Jack_Sparrow: just the link for the live cd which needs modification [16:02] Levia: sorry -- does that help? [16:02] adam7: ln -s /root/.themes/ ~/.themes/ is what I did [16:02] Levia: yeah, that should do it === tobias_ is now known as tobias [16:02] Levia: you might have to symlink ~/.icons too [16:02] there's a onjoin spambot here... [16:02] adam7: okay. for if the icons have changed, i suppose [16:02] glitsj16: im gonna just put ff3 back on cause java does work in it but at times very crappy [16:03] I request a ban or kick on Dave_and_Damo. He just sent me a message about buying a bra. Seriously. I can screenshot if need be. === jamescowie is now known as jamesacowie [16:03] this question is not really ubuntu related but... how can I see if im able to install a 64bit os? [16:03] I second that notion of banning! [16:03] amenado: i don't want to remaster ubuntu... [16:03] where can I get a girlfriend that uses ubuntu? [16:03] to install 64 bit you need a processor capable of it [16:03] jk [16:03] Blackdogg, your prosessor [16:03] why don't you guys go to the #ubuntu-op channel and complain instead of filling this channel up with more lines? [16:03] Blackdogg: cat /proc/cpuinfo the cpuflags lm [16:03] lol [16:03] randall: that's another option yes, the rc2 is in hardy-proposed and seems to be going nicely, goodluck [16:03] fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov [16:03] that?

[17:25] bardyr ok i will do as instructed thank you for all your help [17:25] Jack_Sparrow, is about logitech mouse xorg.conf configuration [17:26] mehehool, np [17:26] whatever02 chmod -R 777 ~/.dke [17:26] pen Not a problem, but just pointing out that posting only a link, will be ignored by most helpers [17:26] whatever02 chmod -R 777 ~/.kde [17:27] hello, xubuntu loaded without any bars [17:27] and reboot didnt help [17:27] Jack_Sparrow, I followed the instruction from the link and it is not working [17:27] So, when I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04, Firefox 3 took over and a bunch of my extensions died because they're not computable, so my question is, how do I get firefox 2 back and have it work right? I tried uninstalling FF3 from synaptic and then installing FF2, to no avail. [17:27] acer_ ubuntu-restricted-extras I think has most of what you want [17:27] Jack_Sparrow, what is the correct way to identify a mouse event with evdev? [17:27] pen No idea [17:27] Jack_Sparrow, since everytime when mouse is plug in, the event number will change [17:28] Jack_Sparrow, so can't use /dev/input/eventx to detect the mouse [17:28] Jack_Sparrow: but is there a single package available [17:28] Jack_Sparrow, so I found the page, but it's not workgin [17:28] pen I gave up on logitec mice when they went propietary on everything [17:28] Sanketsu: one way is to grab the bin from mozzila and run off of it [17:28] nm, solved [17:28] Jack_Sparrow, oh [17:28] acer_ there is not single package.. just the main bundle.. I think it may only need w32codecs to be complete but not entirely surte [17:29] ffs, all i did was install ubuntu, run apt-get install kde, and i can't run kde cuz it says it can't lock a file called .Xauthority. can anybody help meeeeeee plz [17:29] Jack_Sparrow, is this related? [17:29] whatever01 I told u already [17:29] pen look into btnx that will probably work better then edev rules [17:29] yell0w, ok. Thanks, I'll look into that. [17:30] c_lisp i used that command [17:30] whatever01 personally, I would sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop and see if that helped [17:30] but it says that -R is illegal [17:30] option\ [17:30] no [17:30] nibsa1242b, how is it better? I thought it might messed up the keys default functions? [17:30] whatever01 are you running X right now [17:30] sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.kde [17:30] well another question, some guy on ubuntu forums said theres a problem with pidgin losing connection, is there a way to fix it without downgrading to previous version? [17:30] you must of typed it wrong [17:30] Jack_Sparrow: but is it free [17:30] k you said without chmod the previous time [17:30] "must of typed it wrong".. the irony :) [17:30] persi: I've been using pidgin for awhile no, not many problems like that from what I've seen [17:31] bardyr would a win xp 64 bit be adequit for my needs? [17:31] mehehool, yes [17:31] acer_ free is not open source [17:31] mehehool, that would be perfectr [17:31] persi what version of pidgin are you using now.. [17:32] pen it allows you to choose what you want each button to do; its specific to the mouse model and doesn't matter if you unplug and replug in the mouse; the gui nature of it makes it a touch easier to use then plain text file configurations [17:32] well here it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=705342 and crappy licq works like sharm... [17:32] can someone recommend a ogg to mp3 converter? [17:32] 2.4.1 [17:32] swatTX I believe lame is one encoder..

On my destop where I'm still trying to figure out how to undo all of the dev rules, I have problems. [17:33] /home/yourusername/.kde [17:33] whatever01, you can't start kde if your running gnome afaik [17:33] persi You can try 2.4.2 http://getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=pidgin [17:34] Sometimes you can add an alias to ls make it use dir [17:34] alias dir=`ls` [17:34] I think that the command.

[18:08] http://pastebin.com/f178f620e [18:08] acp_: do you have all recent updates [18:08] or have you done updates [18:08] sorry fgor language [18:08] im doing it know [18:09] Stroganoff: try out each version if you want; if you like 64 bit fine, if not go with 32 bit. [18:09] acp_: ok [18:09] grdvggrghcdhhnjjbddnhsjzusgbkgtnxjtttbmkhsnmxykdjmanhydbhmhmztthhq uP Ivan egyan iN in be skdzn [18:09] there is no reason not to use 64 bits. [18:09] !awn > Scunizi [18:09] I have 155 updats [18:09] wow [18:09] ok more questions i downloaded a rt2860 driver for linux how do i install ? please? [18:09] S4nD3r I dont see where in your fstab that you added a line for your usb stick [18:09] dssi-vst works only with wine 42bits [18:09] 32 [18:09] acp_: you should do them and then check restricted again [18:09] cjk2: its harder to configure wine in 64 bit [18:09] does anyone use transmission? [18:09] me [18:10] yeah, and as im a newb i have no idea [18:10] i followed a guide on setting up a chroot but yikes [18:10] ok,thanks [18:10] jeed: do you know how to configure the watched folder for .torrent files?? [18:10] acp_: let me know how it turns out [18:10] I will thanks [18:10] nibsa1242b: sounds like a wine problem. [18:10] If I restart it fixes for a while, but later comes again.. [18:10] ActionParsnip, dunno what you mean [18:10] acp_: yw [18:10] * nonix4 hopes there was a way to specify maximum cache usage for a process... as in a single 100-gigabyte tar shouldn't trash everything else out :( [18:10] http://pastebin.com/f10b68bf0 [18:11] anavarro: are you still talking about GUI freezes? [18:11] yes [18:11] just checking [18:11] cjk2: its because wine acts like 32 bit windows, so it needs to run in a 32 bit environment [18:11] noxix there is [18:11] jeed: you can configure a folder, you copy .torrent files to it and they are automatically downloaded for you [18:11] rtorrent does it too [18:11] sorry [18:11] ActionParsnip, its not in my transmission opts [18:11] I love ktorrent [18:11] now is ok [18:11] c_lisp: not related to ulimits? [18:11] now is ok [18:11] anavarro: did it start after you installed something? or was it out of nowhere? [18:11] Jack_Sparrow: [18:12] any one know how to say to ubuntu to dont mount my cdrom at /media/[cd label] ???:'( [18:12] c_lisp, most private trackers still ban ktorrent since it had bad ratio code [18:12] c_lisp: im running fluxbox not kde [18:12] gaintsura: I cant be sure [18:12] I never had rejections on it [18:12] deluge works great 2 [18:12] ActionParsnip you can run gnome and kde in fluxbox appz [18:12] utorrent in wine also works really well [18:12] you can even run kde progs in gnome [18:12] How can I change my fstab so that this drive # /dev/sdb1 UUID=35826132-6e87-450f-88b3-9d6e6369072b /media/data ext3 relatime 0 2 is writeable by me? [18:12] c_lisp: yeah im trying to avoid bloat [18:13] c_lisp: does ktorrent have monitored folders?? [18:13] nibsa1242b: so what, it can switch to it easily [18:13] anavarro: my install started doing it from first boot, at first it was only terminal that was doing it, now it can be any window [18:13] khajavi: Ubuntu wants to mount it there, why is it creating an issue for you? [18:13] What do you mean by monitor folders? [18:13] sometimes, calling linux32 is enough [18:13] osotogari: that is ext3, thats file system rights and not mount option rights [18:13] would i see a performance hit between using a 32bit distrib and a 64 bit one ? [18:13] c_lisp: rtorrent and transmission can watch folders, if a new .torrent file is copied to it. its download is began automatically [18:14] @ Terrasque: Thanks for the pointer :) [18:14] S4nD3r I am rushed to get going but something like this.. http://pastebin.com/d7853c7b5 [18:14] c_lisp: its good for headless PCs [18:14] osotogari, sounds like you need to change permissions [18:14] yes it does [18:14] c_lisp: beauty [18:14] S4nD3r back later.. lurking while I get some real work done === Bash is now known as TexCORP [18:14] or what si the real point of running a 64 bit distrib ? [18:14] nibsa1242b: just installed a new kernel :S needed to do the module again, so I did..but now when I login, I get the ubuntu color backgroudn and my mouse..and a grey box in the top left of the screen..but it wont continue [18:14] cjk2: my point isn't not to use 64 bit. My point is that some programs under 64 bit require additional configuration to work, whereas in 32 bit they work out of the box. If one is a Linux newbie, then one may be more comfortable adjusting to the 32 bit environment. [18:14] Kille1, not on linux, i never see the difference except 64-bit has more hassle and crashes and segfaults :P [18:15] yeah [18:15] nibsa1242b: all the config should be done by the distro, but maybe ubuntu falls short on that [18:15] acp_: still doing updates? [18:15] Levia: I'm not an x-wizard so I can't really help you. [18:15] im gonna install the 32 bit ver of my distro [18:15] come back to 64 when there is a real advantage and automatic 32 bit compatibility or such [18:15] nibsa1242b: ah okay [18:15] gaintsura: but dont install nothing in the last week [18:15] im try to install ubuntu on my ps3 I heard its faster now then the being [18:15] KDE 4 still best avoided for now?

My guess is you're running ati graphics [19:02] Question, to add an app like vgetty to the startup sequence, am I required to write a program or is there an easier way. [19:02] pelaxix: Just search for nexuiz in synaptic [19:02] stefg it didnt give me any optiopns [19:02] Hello guys, I've been running into troubles with wine when im trying to run wow. I followed the guide on ubuntu docs correct but when im doing the "wine wow.exe -opengl" it just outputs "Segmentation fault", what does it mean? [19:03] PCcertified: just click system->preferences->sessions, you can change startup apps there [19:03] yup right now im downloading wesnoth haha. when im done with that... im goin for it.

[19:04] i ran the install, and it seems to run with no input from me, then a desktop background appears along with a mouse pointer (which will not move) and the screen just sits there, any ideas? it is on a dell optiplex that is not too terribly old [19:04] pelaxix: Both Nexuiz and Wesnoth have newer versions than what are available in synaptic if you download and compile from source. It's not necessary to get the newest; ie the versions in synaptic are still compatible, but just an FYI [19:05] PCcertified: Ah, I hadn't thought about that. Can you add a script to init.d? [19:05] ASUL I am waiting for synaptic to catch up on the latest release of Pidgin. [19:05] waa gwaaan [19:05] the install does not seem to do any fdisking partitioning it just goes with no input from me [19:05] ASULutzy: I frankly don't have scriping experience, I honesty would have no clue what I'm doing. [19:06] how do i change the main display for GDM (2 x servers) [19:06] woa, thanks man, you really know what you are talkin about [19:06] ASULutzy: I know what to add to inittab but Ubuntu has no such simplistic feature [19:06] Daisuke_Laptop: hdd partition [19:07] ASULutzy: I would need assistance from someone who successfully setup mgetty and vgetty [19:07] hey, did u know that of you type "/quit " they will be quitted from the chatroom? [19:07] Saludos Raza Ubuntera xD [19:07] johnnypea: that's obvious, is it something like / or /home? [19:07] whats the name of that network manager in the tray?

(or switch back to windows) [19:09] I really eager for help with my World Of Warcraft gaming on Ubuntu. It just gives the error "segment fault". Anyone got experience with it? [19:10] hello, I'm running ubuntu from CLI, and I cannot mount any DVDs? I receive an error saying, "mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only / mount: you must specify the filesystem type" how do i fix this [19:10] for the guy tryin to manage an ipod from amarok, i found a tutorial, here is the link http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_amarok_ipod [19:10] MystaMax: aren't DVD's read only ? [19:11] so are CDs [19:11] MystaMax: read the man page for mount [19:11] PCcertified: so are CDs, and I dont have troubles with that [19:11] !mount [19:11] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [19:11] MystaMax: you've got to use the -t flag [19:12] PCcertified: I'm not 100% sure what you need to do, but adding something to run on startup isn't that hard to do. For example on my desktop I had to make a script to rewrite my mtrr tables on startup because fglrx wouldn't work with 4 GB of RAM. So I just created the script, made it executable, copied to /etc/init.d/mtrrfixup and also to /etc/rc2.d/S01mtrrfixup [19:12] Cant find Gnormalizer in the repo? this is not how its supposed to be [19:12] Hi, what file do I change to change the default applets in the gnome panel when creating a new user? [19:12] MystaMax -t iso9660 -o loop [19:13] ok, sorry about my noobness three minutes ago, i actually have a question... i was just wondering where KDE 4 is in terms of development and wether I should get it [19:13] I accidentally deleted my gnome panel and was wondering if there is a backup of its config that i can put back in place? [19:13] anyone know about gnormalizer? :'( [19:14] tonsOfSparks: i would wait. use kde3 for now... kde4, although quite stable, is still incomplete in some areas... [19:14] i cant connect with ftp with Nautilus? [19:14] ASULutzy: sounds easy enough, but I don't have a clue what to put in the script. I haven't written a script in 7 years, not sure I remember how. [19:14] can I load my OS and some extra files into memory, and diable my hard drive for power savigns? [19:15] with Nautilus can i just connect to "Costum Location" why? [19:15] ASULutzy: point is there MUST be 1 person on this planet that has set up vgetty or used their ubuntu for an answering machine [19:15] it was called gnormalize, but its not in the repos :( [19:15] peepsalot, you can't move the entire os into a ramdisk [19:15] odd-rationale: so it's jstill "eat yo baties?" I guess i got used to using gnome w/ ubuntu but i would like to switch back to KDE, which is really awesome [19:16] joaopinto, why not? too large? I can't move just the crucial needed files? [19:16] tonsOfSparks: kde 4.1 will be out next month... i will probably reevaluate kde then. [19:16] PCcertified: Is it already setup and configured? And you just want it to run on startup? because then your script would pretty much just be a file that says vgetty. [19:16] thanks everyone! [19:17] joaopinto, i just want to use my laptop as a mp3 player on a plane trip. trying to maximise power savings [19:17] nice [19:17] hello all [19:17] peepsalot, it's too large, and it is not technically possible to relocate the entire root filesystem when it's already mounted [19:17] peepsalot: It's more complicated than just moving some files to memory. [19:17] Anyone know if there is a backup of the gnome-panel settings ? Where would i look ? [19:17] the_eraser: compile it yourself, find the tarball w/ source at http://gnormalize.sourceforge.net/ and follow the instructions, but u might need to get gcc from the repos if you havent done so already [19:18] does anyone know where is the "pst file" file version of Evolution is located [19:18] I think I found the first virus for Ubuntu. The entire system is in read-only mode and I seem to have of lost everything. Some one Please help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5164735#post5164735 [19:18] DIL_: somewhere in ~/.evolution [19:18] joaopinto, Kl4m ok, what if I just boot from flash drive. or liveCD into ramdisk. [19:18] tonsOfSparks: yep guess i have to.. [19:18] peepsalot, if you use a minimal installation, once the player loads the files into memory there should be no Disk I/O [19:18] Gaming4JC: Not a virus. You should probably just do what it says [19:18] peepsalot: DSL can copy the image in ram and boot from there [19:18] hi there, wondering if there is a way to find the ip address of an msn messenger user? [19:18] Gaming4JC: You need to run fsck on the disk [19:18] Kl4m: ty [19:19] ASULutzy: Like what? fsck crashes [19:19] When i hit alt-f2 it brings up 2 run windows ... ? [19:19] how do you merge text file A into text file B? [19:19] please see the pics. :( [19:19] Gaming4JC: Your hard drive may have gone bad? [19:19] Kl4m, joaopinto if I use a liveCD or boot from flash, how can I be sure that there is no power going to hdd? [19:19] peepsalot, also I am assuming you will be using a console based player [19:19] No, it was working fine for 6months. A nice SATA-II 360GB. [19:20] :-/ [19:20] ASULutzy: Have you seen the mgetty script? If I were using inittab, I would just have to replace the mgetty entry with a vgetty one. But the mgetty script is much more complex. And I have no idea how to modify it to work. here's a link to the mgetty script. http://paste.ubuntu.com/19416/ [19:20] Gaming4JC: Boot froma live-cd and install smartmontools. Check the diagnostics. That's not a happy hard drive [19:20] ok... [19:20] What should I look for? [19:20] Why this error when I have installed a gpg-key and doing an apt-get thingy? http://pastebin.com/d16bf30ed should I care about it?

[19:21] peepsalot, well, if you use an cd or flash, if the disks are not mounted there should be no power usage, however that depends on your hw [19:21] Just run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda (if sda is the drive in question) [19:21] how do you merge text file A into text file B?

[19:22] Gaming4JC: And from the live-cd you'll probably want to try running fsck from the live-cd [19:22] ok [19:22] hi [19:22] oi [19:22] how do I try the fsck from a CD? (last time I tried it fsck-ed the virtual disk) [19:22] Gaming4JC: I don't understand why you chmodded anything... You should have asked first [19:22] my ubuntu doesnt work [19:22] joaopinto, would cat A B > B work? [19:23] Gaming4JC: You tell fsck which drive you want it to check?

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [20:06] anyone run a stylus on ubuntu [20:06] mine will not read [20:06] when ever i download a file using firefox, the moment it finishes, firefox just crashes, it just stops running out of the blue, anyone have that problem ? or know what causes it ? [20:06] I set up a win2k3 server yesterday just so I could see how well ubuntu manages in a domain.. haven't got around to doing the ubuntu setup yet tho, I have to sort out someone's broken laptop first. [20:06] compubomb, I suggest run firefox in terminal do the same task then see in terminal what the error message is. [20:06] winXP, won't even boot. Looks like a reinstall and I don't have the disks for it. I might just suggest they switch to ubuntu.. [20:07] How can I get my Audio Driver (AC'97) to work? I can't hear any sounds, when I test or when I log onto Ubuntu. [20:07] zcat[1], are they ready for it though? [20:07] just buy a macintosh ^^ [20:07] Stephen12992, lspci | grep audio [20:07] hey guys I'm trying to remember the name of a program that I used before. It's a cd burning program that you plug mp3 files into and it takes care of converting them writing the disk and deleting the wav files that were created very quickly [20:07] I googled the specs, the lappy is 100% supported and afaik they're just doing web/email/office stuff.. [20:08] Fingaz, k3b [20:08] i need serious help.. i tried installing ubuntu 8.04 from a live cd, by resizing the windows partition and creating a new partition(s) for ubuntu..(a.k.a using the guided partitioning wizard).. however, the installer crashed at 15%, and went to a blank wallpaper screen.. i had to manually reboot my laptop, as nothing was responding. NOW, im stuck with my windows being squished, and a big empty partition where ubuntu failed to install. what can i do?? [20:08] zcat[1], well do it for them and just a quick demo to get them going [20:08] Stephen12992: have you try using System-> Administration->Harware Testing? [20:08] zcat[1]: I wouldn't change operating systems on someone without consulting them first. I love ubuntu, but it's not for everyone [20:08] eimaj, use the livecd to remove the ubuntu partition and start over [20:09] HardDisk: I went to a presentation on "Excel" yesterday.. the original plan was that I would demo OOo if there was time aftrwards. In the end, the presenter used my lappy for his "Excel" presenatation (OOo/ubuntu) and hardly even noticed it wasn't Windows/excel.. [20:09] sorry,Hardware Testing* [20:09] HardDisk: it said Segmentation fault [20:09] HardDisk, how do i go about doing that? [20:09] zcat[1]: nice :) [20:09] i'm running 64bit version of linux [20:09] jeed, that doesn't sound familiar :( [20:09] the menus were different, but he found all the options he wanted to demo.. [20:09] eimaj, ok you need a guide how to use partitioning tools... let me find a guide [20:09] Fingaz, its what i use to convert and burn stuff fast, it has it all there [20:10] eimaj, have you used partition magic before for example? [20:10] I don't know wtf to do to make sure my browser doesn't crash. [20:10] Fingaz, it converts MP3 to other formats and then burns [20:10] i looked online for 64bit version but i don't see any. [20:10] etc [20:10] I was quite impressed. A few things didn't ork quite right but overall it was pretty good. [20:10] compubomb, delete the .mozilla folder and try again [20:10] compubomb, it's hidden in your home directory [20:10] HardDisk: ugh! [20:10] okay. [20:10] hey all....anyone know why the -19 revision of the kernel (in proposed) would kill sound? I installed linux-headers and linux-image...should I have updated anything else? [20:10] i'll try. [20:10] HardDisk, no i haven't.. im completely new with the whole ubuntu idea [20:11] eimaj, I mean partitioning in general. [20:11] wols: it seems that it not works :D [20:11] So, I have a video card that required me to update to hardy so I could use blender... but now I can't use cinelerra, because of a conflict between libopenexr2ldbl and libopenexr2c2a. I am happy building cinelerra from source, but I don't know how to get the ldbl library "installed" so it can find it. [20:11] jeed, is there a gnome version? [20:11] it doesnt register a videodevice.. [20:11] HardDisk no, i haven't [20:11] Hi, How would I install a gtk file? [20:11] Fingaz, no, but you can install it on gnome, i use it from gnome myself [20:11] eimaj, then I'll try to find you an easy guide with pics. give me a sec. [20:11] Is there a backport repirtiour? [20:11] hi i have a prob sometimes when i play a video on youtube it is playing fine but most of the times i have no sound any ideas? [20:11] HardDisk, thank you, this is greatly appreciated [20:12] Is there a backport repository [20:12] jeed, think I found it. Just a sec let you know [20:12] I have a question about anyone that might know how to make a stylus work on ubuntu or are having the same issue with it not reading at all [20:12] Is there a way to "fake" install the libopenexr2ldbl library that I need to build cinelerra? It conflicts with libopenexr2c2a which is installed. [20:12] what's the deal with flash and sound anyhow? It's always worked for me... four different machines never had a problem with it? [20:12] eimaj, this guide will work if you use the ubuntu livecd OR if you want to download a gparted livecd, both work it's same application: http://www.howtoforge.com/partitioning_with_gparted [20:12] eimaj: Not sure if you will be comfortable with gparted. But it is a very good partition utility. Here's a link to the liveCD http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [20:13] zcat[1], some people still have issues. [20:13] * DIL_ thinks that Partition magic is good if he has it but Gparted can be downloaded and may be a good alternative [20:13] apparently so... [20:13] anyone? [20:13] help me please [20:13] HardDisk: that acetoneiso looks good but its too much [20:13] rampageoberon, gparted is already in the ubuntu livecd, I just gave him a guide to use it. [20:13] gparted is on the ubuntu live disk I think.. isn't it what the installer uses? [20:13] bXi, too much? [20:13] yeah [20:13] so you just want a mounter... [20:13] yeah [20:13] systray based [20:13] bXi, then Gmount-Iso [20:14] HardDisk and rampageoberon: thankyou, this will be a great help :) [20:14] Miesco: in synaptic -> Settings -> Repositories -> Updates [20:14] HardDisk: i find the live CD nicer at times, but yes they can use the one on the ubuntu LiveCD too [20:14] bXi, I personally prefer acetoneiso because of the features it provides. [20:14] hey guys i need help over here.... please... [20:14] serpentine that was what I was looking for. Have to try k3b [20:14] phantomas: you may need to repeat your question [20:14] HardDisk: its a very nice alcohol replacement [20:15] hi all [20:15] bXi, never used alcohol.. [20:15] Anyone familiar with the unix command cut ? [20:15] I cannot get pidgin to work at all [20:15] berry_nl, whats up? [20:15] does it handle 'copy protected' disks like alcohol tho? [20:15] Thundarr, run pidgin in terminal and see the error message [20:15] Starnestommy: ok when i play videos in youtube or generally flash i cant hear sound [20:15] does anybody have any idea why my install of hardy heron is so unstable? [20:15] zcat[1], yes [20:15] it starts...and then I get the "hourglass" and then it just stops [20:15] what do I do now [20:15] v0lksman: Do you have to do like aptitude -t backports or something? [20:15] rampageoberon: i would like to exclude some lines from a csv file i have. [20:15] that Is why i am here [20:15] Anyone have an idea why GNOME won't finish logging in but will start doing so? [20:16] awesome [20:16] Thundarr, run pidgin in terminal and see the error message [20:16] berry_nl: please elaborate [20:16] Anyone got an idea why wine replies segment fault after trying to launch world of warcraft ? [20:16] can anyone help me, why my wireless is not showing in Networking Setting I have just install 8.04 and updated it. my wireless is a Intel PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Network Connection Im using 2.6.24-18-generic kernel [20:16] thanks hardDisk I will try it [20:16] rampageoberon: its a tab delimited file and every second header + row needs to be removed. Thus: Keep, remove, keep, remove etc [20:16] Starnestommy: Any ideas? [20:16] acp_, www.playonlinux.org [20:16] onthefence928: dodgy install? 'bad' hardware? [20:16] zcat[1]: anyway to test how stable my install really is? [20:17] acp_, sorry playonlinux.com [20:17] /msg ubottu etiquette [20:17] phantomas: Is libflashsupport installed? [20:17] Why isn't nexuiz the latest version? [20:17] mutt says ”+[Gmail]/drafts”: No such file or directory (errno = 2) when trying to copy to drafts. muttrc reads: set postponed=”+[Gmail]/drafts” and gmail is saying: http://mail.google.com/mail/#drafts so what is my problem? [20:17] Miesco, download it from the website. [20:17] Starnestommy: yes i think [20:18] onthefence928: run memtest and some hdd diagnostics, those tend to be the biggest failings. also when you install, if you need anything like nvidia drivers or flash use the package management, NOT binary installers from wherever.. [20:18] Miesco: not sure...I don't use aptitude...You can also modify your /etc/apt/sources.list and un-comment the backport lines...then update [20:18] Hey guys, sorry to bother you, I just installed the latest ubuntu distrib on a usb drive. Console works fine, but gdm does nothing after login. Shutting down gdm and running "startx" gives a working gnome. Any ideas ? [20:18] How can I get my AC97 Audio Driver working? [20:19] rampageoberon: Sorry i said row, but i mean entire column. So the column names are keep, remove, keep, remove etc. Where the entire column (remove) needs to be removed at each instance. [20:19] Stephen12992, lspci | grep audio in terminal and identify your chipset [20:19] Starnestommy: yes it is installed [20:19] Starnestommy: but no sound... [20:19] zcat[1]: what are teh commands for those tests? [20:19] Stephen12992: read the ALSA wiki for it [20:19] berry_nl: post a sample of the file and the output you want to get in a pastebin and link me to it please [20:19] morpheus_bc, take a look at /var/log/gdm , might be a clue there [20:19] Thank you heym1 === huayra is now known as hubuntu [20:19] !troubleshootsound [20:19] HardDisk: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:19] rampageoberon: keej. Just a second. [20:19] morpheus_bc: I have the same problem. XD [20:19] err.... [20:19] !sound [20:19] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:19] berry_nl: just a couple or 3 rows will do [20:20] I'm kind of familiar with cut [20:20] Thank you. [20:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting [20:20] nickrud: ok, thanks, I'll have a look and come back. [20:20] phantomas: does the sound in anything else have problems? [20:20] hello!everybody [20:20] onthefence928: when you first boot up press 'esc' when it says to, and pick memtest off the menu.. give it a couple of hours at least. For drive testing, try ultimate boot cd and use the tool for your particular drive... that will rule out most possible hardware issues. [20:20] Starnestommy: no not really [20:20] i am a chinese [20:20] morpheus_bc, not promising I'll have the answer to a failure there by the way :) [20:20] DanielRM: I hope we'll find a solution. Did you try updating all packages ? [20:20] mercy_, #ubuntu-cn [20:21] oh,yeah [20:21] phantomas: I'll check the bug reports [20:21] mercy_, and welcome to the international channel for ubuntu :) [20:21] thank you [20:21] onthefence928: hardy really shouldn't be 'unstable' at all.. it's always been very reliable for me.. [20:21] morpheus_bc: I can't, sadly; currently lacking Internet access. [20:21] i am use xchat first [20:21] hardy isn't unstable period, it's LTS for my sake :D === jayson_ is now known as jaysonsantos [20:21] Starnestommy: ok... i am waiting [20:21] zcat[1]: i ran a memtest the other day from teh live CD by accident it didn't give me any errors [20:22] HardDisk: you using zubuntu or anything? [20:22] DanielRM: Just out of curiosity, did you do a standard install ? I was wondering if it's my bizarre install on a usb flash drive. [20:22] gurubuntu :) [20:22] someone told me that gnome was relatively unstable [20:22] phantomas: is this in ubuntu 8.04? [20:22] onthefence928: compared to Xmonad... [20:22] Starnestommy: yes!! [20:22] Can I easily make a RAID5 with one missing drive, and add it later? [20:22] onthefence928, if you don't use the proposed and backports [20:22] onthefence928: relative compared to what? [20:22] onthefence928, as long as you keep it standard. [20:23] is here chinese oter people [20:23] zcat[1]: every other window manager i guess? [20:23] morpheus_bc: I tried a standard install which gave that problem. I also tried several tutorials teaching how to do a persistent LiveCD install, which worked but ended up broken due to a volume being mounted incorrectly. Currently back on a standard install. [20:23] rampageoberon: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19431/ [20:23] HardDisk: btw, i ran firefox in the console, it said "Segmentation fault" [20:23] !cn | mercy_ [20:23] mercy_: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道: #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [20:23] when it crashed [20:23] compubomb, ah..not good [20:23] HardDisk: gnome is stable if unmodified is what you are saying? [20:23] rampageoberon: every instance of call needs to be removed. [20:24] gnome has it's bugs but I wouldn't call it unstable by a long way.. [20:24] DanielRM: Do you have any "excentric" hardware, or is it a plain old hdd install ? [20:24] HardDisk: I'd imagine it has something to do with the version i have not being entirly stable on 64bit [20:24] onthefence928, correct. [20:24] onthefence928: Gnome is stable enough [20:24] compubomb, oh 64bit...well that's a horse of a different color then. [20:24] but the whole point i installed 64bit linux was to get more memmory support. [20:24] does anybody use gdesklets [20:24] berry_nl: i see, give me a min [20:24] ubottu:thank you [20:24] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [20:24] it has a low center of gravity you see [20:24] morpheus_bc: no eccentric hardware. Plain old HD install. [20:24] pub: yes.. and they're still pretty 'alpha' .. expect problems :) [20:24] compubomb, you can get more memory support in 32bit, you just need to patch the kernel I believe if I'm not mistaken [20:25] phantomas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libflashsupport/+bug/183917 could be rekated, but I see a couple other bug reports for flash [20:25] Launchpad bug 183917 in libflashsupport "Sound stops working in Firefox once other applications (Pidgin, Rhythmbox) have played sound" [Low,Confirmed] [20:25] *related [20:25] well i've had more than a few occasions where random program freeze up, then i force quit it, and then it all goes to hell form there [20:25] DanielRM: ok, thanks. I'll try looking at the logs and updating the packages, I'll let you know if I find something. [20:25] rampageoberon: Thanks many time thanks in advance. This one really got me stuck [20:25] HardDisk: i'm not experienced in the art of kernel compilation. [20:25] zcat[1] i can't seem to get the GoodWeather desklet to work, all that shows is N/A .. loading.. [20:25] Oh.. gdesklets, not screenlets.. gdesklets are not alpha, they just dont work that well :) [20:25] I have tried to change my screen resolution but I only get 600x800 [20:25] nothing more [20:25] morpheus_bc: looking at the logs myself I can't see anything unusual. [20:25] Hi all. I think I have a corrupted hard drive. When I try to access it in Nautilus it returns: "Unable to mount location: Can't mount file" - help? [20:25] oh [20:25] lol [20:25] morpheus_bc: thanks for mentioning the startx thing though. That is a godsend. :-) [20:25] compubomb, ok try to remove firefox --purge and reinstall? [20:25] where do I go to install the correct driver [20:25] pub: you gave it a 'weather.com' code to look up? [20:26] Yes [20:26] Thundarr, videocard? [20:26] i gave mine, and the one in the example [20:26] none worked [20:26] HardDisk: think i figured out the problem, it's more than likely one of these extentions i have installed, i changed the name of the profile. [20:26] can't tell you how many times i've had to turn off the power the harsh way because i've lost all taskbars and have become unable to do anything [20:26] :'( [20:26] my guess is possibly downloadthemall extention :'( [20:26] nvidia [20:26] compubomb, well didn't I tell you to remove .mozilla, I assumed you ran it without the extensions.... === dcohen is now known as cyclops [20:26] DanielRM: No problem, I'm going to try to update all packages, hopefully this issue's been fixed. See you later. [20:26] pub: Oh.. weather.com changed the URL format slightly a couple of months ago.. gdesklest might not have caught up and done a patch yet.. === cyclops is now known as thecyclops [20:26] Thundarr, add the nvidia drivers via hardware drivers in system administration [20:27] so i should use the older version of GoodWeather [20:27] ? [20:27] onthefence928: first alt+f2 and type "killall gnome-panel", if it fails, ctrl+alt+backspace. [20:27] Thundarr, then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings in terminal, then run sudo nvidia-settings [20:27] pub: not sure.. possibly. [20:27] onthefence928: what video card? [20:27] berry_nl: is Gene Accession the first column heading and number the second? [20:27] alright well then i'll have to restart im sure [20:27] be right back [20:28] hi people [20:28] I tried to install the drivers via hardware drivers...but when I do that and restart I cannot get back into Ubuntu. [20:28] is there a way I can install only ubuntu-standard ? [20:28] my monitor then says it cannot display the resolution [20:28] K3rl0u4rn, mind explaining that again? [20:28] is alternate cd the way to proceed for such install ? [20:28] berry_nl: I can make it work (longish way) if Gene Accession is one word [20:28] can someone tell me how to tell nautilus to display items in a list view by default? [20:28] K3rl0u4rn, use the normal ubuntu cd [20:28] rampageoberon: Jep Gene accession is the first column. Feel free to change Gene acc. into ID or something like that. [20:28] Just installed Hardy. Where did the 'Hardware Information' link in System->Preferences go? [20:29] hypnodok, edit/preferences [20:29] nevermind zcat, haha , there was only 1 version out ;( [20:29] berry_nl: cut -f1-3,5,7,9 [20:29] zcat[1]: an nvidia card not sure exactly which one but it was able to get a driver installed for it, and it's a laptop graphics card (not embedded in the motherboard like some laptops [20:29] is there somewhere else i can go to install different drivers?? [20:29] rampageoberon: I do need to keep the first column. Its just the "call" columns whom all need to dissapear. [20:29] HardDisk: thanks [20:29] HardDisk: there is a dummy package in ubuntu called ubuntu-standard with kind of minimal linux system, I would like to install such minimal system and avoid the other packages that come with ubuntu or derived [20:29] berry_nl: something like that will work [20:29] K3rl0u4rn, oh then that's fine. [20:29] pub: I had to hack screenlets weather applet to recognise the new url format.. mine works ;) [20:30] screenlets..bleh :D [20:30] onthefence928: mmm, ok.. well. No idea then. [20:30] rampageoberon: Okay so i'll manually need to give all the column numbers. But yes that will work. Thanks rampageoberon! [20:30] HardDisk: what do you mean that's fine ? [20:30] berry_nl: i'm not sure how to make it more automated but you can do do the cut for all the fields (till whatever number of fields you have) [20:30] K3rl0u4rn: you might want to install a server setup to get as minimal as possible. [20:30] K3rl0u4rn, that's fine, as in you can install via the minimal if you want. [20:30] berry_nl: make the first column heading one word :) [20:30] Grim76__: well, I think server is already more than ubuntu-standard [20:31] Grim76__, server isn't minimal as possible. [20:31] rampageoberon: grin, good thing you mention. I almost got carried away hehehe [20:31] Starnestommy: ok i read the page but i didnt find something :( [20:31] onthefence928: .xsession-errors or /var/og/* might hold some clues?

[20:39] Lava: if thats even the problemo in the 1st place [20:39] onthefence928, define "fix" [20:39] heym1, ok where do i find that ? [20:39] Lava: you may need to wait a while and try to avoid heavy bandwidth usage [20:40] Lava: 1. check what card you have, 2. check what driver you are using, 3.use a different driver. [20:40] HardDisk: well i tried to make it larger via gparted but now linux is telling me there are 0MBs in the swap partition [20:40] HardDisk you mean something else is wrong? the line i had added to the fstab didn't exist when i booted off the cd? [20:40] Lava: what? google? [20:40] can anybody help on unistalling nvidia card drivers, manually, from ubuntu 8.04? [20:40] Lava: open up firefox... [20:40] heym1, ok [20:40] onthefence928 did you delete any partitions in gparted? [20:40] Is there a solution to why my background dissappears after every restart of my comp, and all the icons?

[20:49] dacubuntu, is this a vista partition? [20:49] does anyone else have a broadcom corporation bcm94311mcg [20:49] nope xp [20:49] \kG: No idea, but why you need the md5 tests? They are actually nothing. [20:49] =] [20:49] Silly question, how can I find out what version I have on my DVD, I have many difference ubuntu DVD's but I want to find my 8.04 DVD but I can't find the version of it. [20:49] dacubuntu, I'd check the partition structure then. [20:49] sfire: no, Alt F2 and run command: metacity --replace [20:49] Is there a linux equivalent for PrintMaster ? [20:49] dacubuntu, gparted has no issues with xp partitions whatsoever [20:49] heym1: it worked :) [20:49] can anyone tell me if its possible to get a working ssh client when using the "rescue" option from the ubuntu install disk? [20:49] I just opened a console window [20:49] \kG: all i can say is it might be getting corrupted somewhere or a bad sector on disk. Try download it to an external drive if you can and test [20:49] what gparted does is [20:49] heym1, dude if my internet went faster than a cripple turtle i would :p [20:49] <\kG> mystery[bbiab] i burned the first 5 dicks and got errors on install.... becasue the md5sum fail the iso is corrupted [20:49] dacubuntu, you could use Hiren's bootcd if you want [20:49] all my options for ALL the partitions [20:49] I have a feisty dellbuntu 1505.... I need to add another user, but I'm guessing useradd wont set up the same groups/configuration as I got with the default user.

[20:49] <\kG> discs* [20:49] are greyed out [20:50] Lava: hard wire [20:50] dacubuntu, you have to unmount the drive if you're doing it via the OS [20:50] \kG: also burning the disks maybe burn then at a slower speed [20:50] heym1, ok, gonna try that [20:50] \kG: Oh, ok... Sry, can't help. I had friends who their md5 failed and they installed fine... [20:50] i tried that as well [20:50] i have no idea what a pool is ubutto [20:50] HardDisk: ok it all check out, i'll see if i have any problems in the future [20:50] but......... the resize option is still greyed out [20:50] dacubuntu, then I suspect a "dirty" partition table, check hiren's bootcd and do some tests [20:50] Lava: should be a heck of a lot faster if the problem is just with your wireless card [20:51] but my xp is running fine [20:51] dacubuntu, did you encrypt your drives?

[21:58] snarkster, actually you can check the hd for back blocks, use: badblocks device [21:59] Chousuke: its my boot drive, no important data there [21:59] JC_Denton_ : http://psychocats.s465.sureserver.com/ubuntu/backup [21:59] Starnestommy, yeah, but when a friend connects with his windows laptop everything goes smoothly [21:59] PaloAlto: if it's not part of a package, use /usr/local/bin [21:59] PaloAlto, /usr/lib is the regular place for shared objects, aka system libs [21:59] grijzemens: could be your wireless card which is bad [21:59] PaloAlto: google for ld.so.conf [21:59] joaopinto: can you do that while its mounted? [21:59] snarkster: it might be that the binaries are just corrupted *or* that they have bugs, but if more things start crashing, it's most likely the hardware [21:59] hey ive installed vmware workstation but when i go to open it it doesnt work? :S confused any help? [22:00] <_empemp_> how can i rebuild the fstab? [22:00] <_empemp_> just added new partition and i can't copy anything to them' [22:00] rampageoberon, when it was gutsy everything went smoothly, i got messed up with hardy [22:00] fstab is just a space delimited txt file [22:00] caveymason: does it start loading? [22:00] ehrm, so /usr/local/lib ? [22:00] snarkster: in anycase, reinstall the affected software and see if that helps [22:00] ye [22:00] ok thank you [22:00] PaloAlto: try that [22:00] kyncani: what does the a parameter denote? [22:00] caveymason: have you run the config.pl ? [22:00] <_empemp_> snarkster: what should i type in it? [22:00] gedit [22:00] \join ##linux [22:01] snarkster: preferably using apt-get --purge remove (which will remove all configuration as well) [22:01] Hi, I've got a 7.04 server, and it can't seem to obtain an IP via DHCP, does anyone know why? [22:01] urm it run it? but i dunnoe if it worked? [22:01] zvacet: thanks but not exactly looking to backup the data.. [22:01] snarkster, no [22:01] JC_Denton_: man cp is your friend, -a means archive [22:01] it said something about its going wrogn how do i run it again [22:01] <_empemp_> shouldn't this distro beat windows xp? even windows does partitioning fine [22:01] ah ok, well then i still need to boot live cd. [22:01] hmm ttyl ima get to work on it now [22:01] kyncani: I read that bit but does archive mean it's compressed as well? [22:01] snarkster: and do an "apt-get clean" first so it'll remove your cached packages [22:01] starnestommy yes i am@/ [22:02] how do i rerun the config.pl? [22:02] caveymason: when that thing happened to me i had to run this: sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl [22:02] how do you force gstreamer into 44.1khz ? [22:02] stabbyjoe12_: I'm looking for any information that may be of use to you [22:02] JC_Denton_: nope, archive means -dpR, look each option in the manpage for an explanation [22:02] starnestommy yes i am@/;0 [22:02] JC_Denton_ : you have explanation how ddrecue work on the bottom of the page [22:02] caveymason: make sure you compile etc. just press enter to use default values [22:02] why thank you:) [22:03] stabbyjoe12_: have you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4311_rev_01_%28ndiswrapper%29 ? [22:03] Hi, I've got a 7.04 server, and it can't seem to obtain an IP via DHCP, does anyone know why? It was fine up until the other day and now, all of a sudden it doesn't work... [22:03] k, thanks guys [22:03] Execution aborted? Says something about compiling something for my thinggg? or something? [22:03] Starnestommy, when i installed ndiswrapper, i just installed it through synapitcs, should i have done something afterwards? [22:03] like it but illtry that [22:03] JC_Denton_: as a side note, the rsync method zvacet gave you and the cp -a method will give the same result. And rsync would allow keeping the partition in sync with the original (if you need it). [22:04] grijzemens: you should've used sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/driver.inf [22:04] caveymason: which version of workstation are you using? And which version of Ubuntu are you on? [22:04] kyncani: would ddrescue and cp -a give the same result too? It would seem like it from the man pages [22:04] urmm newest ver of ubuntu [22:04] hi [22:04] Le2, did you try top restart the dhclient service? [22:05] hava a problem [22:05] andddd vmware 6.000 [22:05] macd: what? [22:05] Le2: The DNS server is up right? [22:05] JC_Denton_: nope, ddrescue is an entire different thing. [22:05] Starnestommy, can i still do that? [22:05] caveymason: ok and this is a fresh install of vmware workstation or have you had it installed and working before? [22:05] fresh [22:05] grijzemens: you could try doing that [22:05] caveymason: you trying to install vmware 1.0.6? [22:05] caveymason : are you trying to compile [22:05] earthling: yeah, it still goes through a router which everything else can still use fine [22:05] Le2, as in 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart', and tailed dmesg to see whats going wrong? [22:05] Starnestommy, 'Error: no ndiswrapper utils found!' [22:05] JC_Denton_: drescue is meant to recover whatever bits are recoverable from a non-functioning hard drive. [22:06] VMware-workstation-6.0.0-45731.i386 [22:06] no yousee the problemis it knows that the wireless is there and it knows what card it is and suposedly the drivers are there but it wont fnd any networks [22:06] grijzemens: install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [22:06] caveymason: if you are google vmware and "any-any".. it's a patch.. works for workstation I think too [22:06] Le2: what do u mean by everthing else can use ? [22:06] i have install ubuntu 8.04 and after run an update i loost the sound and wireless [22:06] macd: It's been off for the weekend because of this, dhclient says something about there being no available IPs.. [22:06] kyncani: but if it doesnt come across any bad data it pretty much functions like a copying it all , right? [22:06] earthling: other machines going through the same router [22:06] Does anyone know how to burn a sparseimage in Ubuntu? [22:06] Le2, then the dhcp server is out of addresses it sounds like. [22:07] Starnestommy, 'install: missing destination file operand after `ndiswrapper-utils-1.9'' [22:07] macd: but the router has been rebooted too, and there's only one other client [22:07] grijzemens: with 'sudo apt-get' before it [22:07] JC_Denton_: you should only use ddrescue if the target drive is the same size than the original drive afaik. [22:07] grijzemens: er, sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 [22:08] Le2, not sure what to tell you then, have you tried connecting the PC directly to your broadband device? [22:08] enneth isnt sparse image made in mac os [22:08] enneth: this might give you some tips http://www.scribd.com/doc/431468/Guide-to-making-a-SLDVD-Leopard-install-disc [22:08] Le2: as u are saying to macd, the error says that all the IP's the Dhcp server was leasing are exhausted [22:08] macd: it is connected straight to the router, as is my PC [22:08] scunizi: have you got a link to like a little how to? [22:08] kyncani: that doesnt seem necessary according to this page http://blogs.sun.com/superpat/entry/hard_drive_recovery_ubuntu_style [22:09] JC_Denton_: if that's the case, then yes ddrescue will give you and exact copy (same filesystem with the same uuid, ... ) [22:09] scunizi: found a ftp address with some files but i dont know which files i need to do what with? [22:09] Le2, Im asking you to connect the PC to the broadband device, rather than the router, to rule out one thing that could be bad [22:09] Anybody know much about apt pinning? [22:09] I dont understand how the DHCP leases can be exhausted when there is only one other box on it :/ [22:09] Starnestommy, ok thanks. i did that, and now? [22:09] macd: we only have the router [22:09] hola [22:09] caveymason: once you find the any-any update there will be a how to there.. typically you start the standard install but stop when you get to the compilation process .. then run any-any and it will do it's thing and restart the install process for compilation. [22:09] JC_Denton_: yes you can use ddrescue to a bigger drive, but cp -a is much easier (and faster) if the original drive is functionning properly [22:09] grijzemens: locate the .inf for the windows driver, then sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/file.inf [22:09] Le2, I gotcha. do you have another computer that works fine on the router? [22:10] acabo de instalas ubuntu pro primera vez me a parecido genial [22:10] Le2: are you on a Local area network . if yes how many comps are online there? [22:10] caveymason: it is also mentioned on vmware's site.. I think in the forums. [22:10] macd: yeah, this computer running 8.04 [22:10] spideyman, yes.. The thing is that I bought Leopard, but my Macbook does not want to recognize DL DVDs, so I resized it first by copying it to Ubuntu and thereafter sent it to my Macbook and back after the resize.. I just cannot burn the image. :p [22:10] alguien de españa o q al menos able español? [22:10] earthling: my machine is the only other [22:10] <_adriaan> my firefox windows open fullscreen since last update (Hardy) [22:10] kyncani: thanks will give it a shot later on. [22:10] Le2, and the 8.04 box is also DHCP? [22:10] macd: yes [22:10] !es | elriol [22:10] elriol: En la mayoría de canales Ubuntu se comunica en inglés. Para ayuda en Español, por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es. [22:10] macd: and it seems to be fine [22:10] ! es | elriol [22:10] I have Ubuntu running on an intel graphics card and a Samsung 216BW monitor -- on the screen settings, there is no 216bw, so I set it to 226bw - very similar.. but now it only allows 1600x1200 as the maximum, but I need 1680x1050 -- ideas? [22:10] Starnestommy, probably a stupid question: how do i locat the inf? [22:11] Le2: Is the Dhcp server there , in your LAN? [22:11] enneth holy crap! [22:11] !es [22:11] earthling: the dhcp server is on the router [22:11] so I need to add a modeline to Xorg.conf, and add the resolution to it? if so, what do all the numbers mean on the modeline? [22:11] ok i am sorry [22:11] grijzemens: do you know where you extracted the windows driver? [22:11] Le2, sounds weird could be a bug but I doubt it, if youve rebooted the router and offending PC, and still have no luck, Id just configure the other machine for a static IP and be done with it. [22:11] goob bye!! [22:11] Le2: you use the router to connect to the net? [22:11] If I install VMWare or Virtual Box, and install Windows XP through there, can I run games like they would on windows [22:11] spideyman, you don't say so? It's really annoying. :) [22:11] earthling: yeah [22:12] Zaiden: not really [22:12] Zaiden: as long as they don't use direct x [22:12] macd: is there a guide to going static? i'm not great with this :( [22:12] Le2: What kind of router? [22:12] Starnestommy, windows driver? is that the ndiswrapper? [22:12] puff: one of those nasty Sky Broadband ones [22:12] Le2: Static just means that you explicitly assign the IP address, both in the router and on the machine. [22:12] Is there a way to get Direct X working in WINE? [22:12] Le2: Did you check on the router's web admin interface? [22:12] I have a problem with my copy/cut/paste ............ it's not working. [22:12] I am trying to install Ubuntu on a brand new hard drive on my laptop, i put the disk in and turned on the computer, but it keeps coming up Operating System Not Found, i checked bios and it is supposed to load from an optical drive first, then the hdd === Carpe|Diem is now known as CarpeDiem [22:12] how do i put stuff into the tray [22:13] grijzemens: ndisrwapper is a tool that is used for loading windows networking drivers. You still need to actually download those drivers and use ndiswrapper to load them === Carpe|Diem_ is now known as Carpe|Diem [22:13] but how do I go about setting up the devices for static IPs? [22:13] I have Ubuntu running on an intel graphics card and a Samsung 216BW monitor -- on the screen settings, there is no 216bw, so I set it to 226bw - very similar.. but now it only allows 1600x1200 as the maximum, but I need 1680x1050 -- ideas? [22:13] so I need to add a modeline to Xorg.conf, and add the resolution to it? if so, what do all the numbers mean on the modeline? [22:13] pub right click.. click (add) [22:13] <_adriaan> Zaiden: wine already implement a lot of directx functionality through their own libraries [22:13] puff, Le2 some routers can be left to do dhcp and you can still assign a static ip on a specific machine .. at that machine. not router. [22:13] Le2 Not one of those bandrich - c100 [22:13] Le2, what I would do is, on the working machine issue "ifconfig" then take those settings and change the ip address by one digit on the very end, then on the offending PC, left click the network icon in the systray then select manual configuration, then key all those settings in there. [22:13] Le2: can you tell how you initially configured your computer to get your internet working? [22:13] Jack_Sparrow: huh? [22:13] damn, lost that option with fluxbox [22:13] haha [22:13] Le2: Step one, bring up your router's admin interface in a web browser. [22:13] Starnestommy, oh ok. so how do i download the drivers i need? [22:13] grijzemens: check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [22:13] <_adriaan> Zaiden: but there is no way of 'installing' directx in wine as far as i know [22:13] Scunizi: Yo can do it, but ti's not wise. [22:14] earthling: it worked form day one straight from the installer [22:14] Scunizi: You can arbitrarily assign a static IP to a PC and it will work - most or some of the time, depending on how congested your network is. [22:14] grijzemens: If it's a linksys card, the drivers are probably on its website somewhere [22:14] K^Holtz: you have already installed from the cdrom or you're trying to boot the cdrom ? [22:14] Starnestommy: is it a broadcom [22:14] Le2 Is your shy broadband one of those bandrich - c100 chipsets? [22:14] I can't seem to get anything to work in ubuntu [22:14] Scunizi: Or if no other device on the network happens to get assigned the same static IP. [22:14] Er, same numeric IP. [22:14] Starnestommy, a US Robotics [22:14] Jack_Sparrow: I don't have a clue, it's one of the newer Sagem ones [22:14] <_adriaan> Zaiden: that's not a question, is it :) [22:14] Le2: follow macd [22:14] enneth have you tried to convert it [22:14] puff, I understand.. [22:15] <_adriaan> Zaiden: if you want to install games, you should check out the app database @ wine [22:15] macd: there is no gui on the server [22:15] _adriaan: what cant you get to work? [22:15] <_adriaan> Zaiden: they give detailed insturctions on how to get most games installed [22:15] Le2, ahh even easier then, can you pastebin your ifconfig output from the working machine please? [22:15] !appdb [22:15] spideyman, yes, to an ISO, but it does not work. [22:15] The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org [22:15] _adriaan: sorry Zaiden what cant you get to work? [22:15] sure, 1min [22:15] Will not boot it. [22:15] grijzemens: look for ralink drivers for windows [22:15] enneth with what? [22:16] Le2: Bring up a new browser window, point it at 192.168.0.1 [22:16] Disc Utility in OS X. [22:16] grijzemens: linksys and us robotics often use ralink chipsets [22:16] http://pastebin.com/d7f635305 [22:16] BCM43: Right now the two main programs I'm really struggling with are Call of Duty 4 and Ragnarok Online. [22:16] [OT] Does exist a VM/CPU-emulator that can let chooses which cpu (amd or intel) to use into the guest enviroment w/o ties with host hw config? Thank You for help me, Fab [22:16] can I make mutt format html messages using lynx? [22:16] puff, however if you go static on the router (dhcp setting) you have to set static ip's for all the machines on the lan.. some routers will allow a "static" dhcp setting based on mac address [22:16] yeah I dont want to go static all over the place [22:16] FabParma: try qemu [22:16] Le2, ok great now open the file on the offending machine 'sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces' [22:16] I'd prefer to use DHCP, but its stopped working for the bad machine [22:16] macd: ok [22:16] Scunizi: Depends on the router, many of them will let you reserve an IP range and not hand them out via DHCP. [22:16] can I make mutt format html messages using lynx? [22:16] Zaiden: any errors? what is wrong with them? [22:17] heymr: I don't think so [22:17] Starnestommy, thanks. im trying to find the driver [22:17] is this the right place for a install question? or is there a different room? [22:17] Scunizi: And many of them will let you assign "static DHCP", meaning that the DHCP server will consisstenyl assgin that IP to that device. [22:17] wnstn: here is fine [22:17] i can reserve IPs by MAC in the router's DHCP settings, thats what I used to do [22:17] how do i get more then 1 ip from dhcp to one networkcard [22:17] heymr: For disply, yes, I use it all the time. Or elinks, or links. [22:17] Starnestommy: or something?? it just shows html can I at least sed out the tags? [22:17] i need to find out how to get more then 1 ip [22:17] macd: what do I have to do in this file [22:17] puff: my dlink allowed me to set a specific ip for a machine and then dhcp the remaining machines.. however my linksys won't.. yes.. we're on the same page. [22:17] puff: inline mutt? how? [22:17] BCM43: Call of Duty 4 keeps giving me direct x errors. Ragnarok Online will launch the patcher, but it always freezes (on a private server by the way). [22:17] enneth there is almost always a work around just dont give up it took me 4 days to figure out how to handle cdi images [22:17] Le2, http://pastebin.com/m2cd9c5bb <-- thats what ;) [22:18] wnstn: it is [22:18] heymr: Come to think of it, I've never had to set that up, I guess when I installed mutt and links it set it up for me. [22:18] puff: or do you download and then open with lynx? [22:18] wnstn :just ask you are on the right place [22:18] macd: cool i'll take a look, thanks [22:18] I am trying to do a live cd install on a friends laptop. and I am having a problem [22:18] :( [22:18] heymr: No, trydoing info ("i") on the message to display the parts, navigate to the HTML part and hit enter. [22:18] It appears its stuck during resizing the partitions [22:18] <_adriaan> I'm going to bump (?) an earlier question: since the last update, my firefox window all open in fullscreen mode (on hardy), anyone having the same problem or a solution? [22:18] Le2, then after pasting that in, restart networking with 'sudo /etc/init,d/networking restart' all should be well. [22:19] its been at 0% for a good 15 min and i can hear the drive working but the bar isn't moving [22:19] puff: so it uses links? [22:19] heymr: Yeah. [22:19] am i over reacting or should I be at like 1% by now? [22:19] Zaiden: i have to go, but check this out. http://perceptualmotion.co.uk/linux/cod4-wine.pdf [22:19] Before clean installing ubuntu on my laptop, I am planning to backup some dirs. Is there any dirs I should make bacup besides /home and /etc ?? [22:19] has anyone gotten magic jack to work on linux?? [22:19] wnstn: how long? [22:20] @ BCM42: about 15 minutes now [22:20] wnstn: nvmind, saw it [22:20] puff: installed links.. still not parsing it [22:20] Starnestommy, i did wget http://www.ralink.com.tw/data/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6.tar.gz [22:20] wnstn : partition should be done resonable fast [22:20] I can't unmount /dev/shm. umount says: "umount: /dev/shm: device is busy" and 'lsof /dev/shm' gives no result. Is there someway to force umount? [22:20] and its a brand new laptop. [22:20] Starnestommy, is it installed nw? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [22:20] aoupi, its not the best idea, what are you trying todo? [22:20] wnstn: I would open a terminal and check the system activity with top. You can also use the system monitor. If it's working, then it must be moving data to resize te partition. [22:21] what should I do? [22:21] macd: make /dev/shm bigger [22:21] grijzemens: not yet. First, extract it with tar xzf RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6.tar.gz [22:21] ok ill try that hold on [22:21] macd : what was le's problem ? did not get what he wanted ? [22:21] heymr: Did you restart mutt? [22:21] grijzemens: I'm not sure if that's the right one for a RT2500, though [22:21] I have a problem with my copy/cut/paste ............ it's not working. [22:21] how large aoupi ? [22:21] wnstn : you can rty nwke partition with http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ [22:21] puff: yes [22:21] Starnestommy, getting really hopeless over here :) [22:21] macd: I just need to up it from 250 to 400 [22:21] "sudo mount -o remount,size=400M /dev/shm" [22:22] Lifeisfunny : what error message are u getting? [22:22] puff: oh maybe its reading from cache? [22:22] macd: /me facepalms [22:22] grijzemens: are you using any encryption? [22:22] macd: thanks :) [22:22] earthling, I dont know if hes solved it yet [22:22] aoupi, yeah remount ftw. [22:22] macd: indeed [22:22] Hi, I seem not to be able to get the libgtk2.0-0 source package. Anybody knows why ? [22:22] earthling, it's just not working, I'm not using it through a terminal [22:22] Anybody know how to clear out memcache? [22:22] heymr: Hm, according to google, .mailcap is what controls that, but my .mailcap doesn't have a lynx/links entry. [22:22] Lifeisfunny : what did u diagnose though ? [22:22] aoupi, your not running virtual machines are you? [22:23] earthling, I don't know how to diagnose, major newb here [22:23] whats a mac bar for linux? [22:23] Lifeisfunny : have you checked the permissions [22:23] heymr: Might be in muttrc, one sec. [22:23] puff: maybe for older version? [22:23] wnstn: afaik, resizing a partition involve moving all data to the beginning of the partition. So if it's a reasonably large and full partition, reading all this data and writing it at the beginning of the partition will take some time. And involve quite some hard drive activity. [22:23] no [22:23] i cant think off any [22:23] macd: I am actualy [22:23] macd: it still isn't getting on [22:23] where? [22:23] ok never mind. I just went upstairs and its done now. sorry guys i freaked cuz its my friends BRAND NEW lappie and I was all like "yeah install linux dude, Its so. easy" so FALSE ALARM ut thanks again :) [22:23] Le2, that to me indicates an issue with your router [22:23] Before clean installing ubuntu on my laptop, I am planning to backup some dirs. Is there any dirs I should make bacup besides /home and /etc ?? [22:23] macd: its got the ip but it can't seem to access anything [22:23] wnstn : good for you [22:23] i have a problem with wine, trying to run roller coaster tycoon 3, ive looked on the wine database site and ttryed following ther guides but its like i get nowhere, im always getting an error about my 3d drivers not working, but it runs fine on my computer when i had xp installed, i have successfully installed and ran roller coaster tycoon 2 however...im at my wits end, can any one help? [22:23] wnstn: np :) [22:23] why would dhcp suddenly stop working anyway? [22:23] Le2, have 2 machines worked before at the same time? [22:23] aoupi, ahhh just wondering [22:24] macd: yeah, they used to be fine [22:24] macd: then all of a sudden earlier this week it just wouldnt work [22:24] macd: win98 here I come :D [22:24] Le2, suddenly stoping working is what computers and networks do [22:24] macd: yeah, it seems so [22:24] heymr: Might be better to ask on #mutt. [22:24] <[d0wn]> Hi, I have a 1024 cylinder limit, and need to know the proper bios settings to get past only 1024 [22:24] Le2, by chance when the working PC is off, and the router reset, does the offending PC work? [22:24] Hey uh, I have a problem. I just finished installing Hardy on my PC, and the Marvell 88E8056 NIC doesn't want to work. I have completely no way to transfer anything there. [22:25] earthling, where does a person learn to do the diagnosis stuff you talked about? [22:25] macd: i'm not sure [22:25] The motherboard is an Abit IP35-E [22:25] Le2, give that a shot and come back and tell us what happened/ [22:25] puff: nobody awnsers :/ [22:25] Lifeisfunny : sorry that was not for you .. :( [22:25] ok [22:25] puff: I don't even use ubuntu, but this channel is most active [22:25] macd: i'll try changing some of the routers dhcp settings a minute too [22:25] Lifeisfunny : now open a terminal [22:25] Le2, dont change multiple things at once === emma_ is now known as emma [22:26] terminal opened [22:26] Lifeisfunny : and go the directory that you were pasting to [22:26] macd: i'll try that first then, and see how the working machine copes [22:26] Le2, you didnt change the router first, so dont change it now, you should limit troubleshooting to effectively diagnose a single avenue at once ;) [22:26] I get this message every time I log in - "User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. User's $HOME directory must be owned by user and not writable by other users.". How can I fix this? [22:26] Le2, good plan ;) [22:26] damnit is this IRCspam day? keep getting PMs from weirdos about weird channels [22:26] tomoyuki28jp: as long as you're backing up /home (and you should), backing up everything else should not take too much space [22:27] earthling, here's the situation, I was cutting a url from the browser and couldn't paste it into the XChat to post to a channel [22:27] Le2, I was shocked too. [22:27] CorpseFeeder: i had that problem, i did something really stupid and had to rinstall [22:27] i have a problem with wine in ubuntu 8.40 hardy heron, trying to run roller coaster tycoon 3, ive looked on the wine database site and ttryed following ther guides but its like i get nowhere, im always getting an error about my 3d drivers not working, but it runs fine on my computer when i had xp installed, i have successfully installed and ran roller coaster tycoon 2 however...im at my wits end, can any one help? [22:27] Le2, yes start the offending one after the working is powered of, then if the offending works power the working back on...s ee what happens [22:27] tomoyuki28jp: as /home/ should be very big compared to everything else [22:27] Le2: report the spam to #freenode or to a staff member in PM [22:27] le2 i got messages from them too [22:27] earthling, kind of a different scenario [22:27] Starnestommy: ok [22:27] I need to use the usbnet module, has anyone gotten this to work with Gutsy? [22:27] Lifeisfunny : arghhhh !!! should have mentioned that.. [22:27] macd: i'll be back after that then :) [22:27] Does anyone here know why OpenArena won't start? It looks like it's opening and never does. [22:27] if you are using xchat.. load lemmings (tm) and ignore is easy [22:27] Le2, great [22:27] yeah, I juuuuuuuuuuust did [22:28] massimo: ive ran oa fine [22:28] :) [22:28] Lifeisfunny : thats some problem with gnome then . try ctlr+c ctrl +v happens some times [22:28] Starnestommy, WPA personal [22:28] massimo you get it from the deban site? [22:28] So, I have an Abit IP35-E motherboard, and probably the Marvell Network drivers aren't loading, as lspci recognizes it. Other than a keyboard, screen and mouse. I have no way to transfer anything in there. [22:28] massimo: how about starting it from the command line, lookup the error message and start googling ubuntuforums.org with that ? [22:29] grijzemens: is it any faster without encryption? [22:29] nosa-1 from add/remove applications [22:29] I have Ubuntu running on an intel graphics card and a Samsung 216BW monitor -- on the screen settings, there is no 216bw, so I set it to 226bw - very similar.. but now it only allows 1600x1200 as the maximum, but I need 1680x1050 -- ideas? [22:29] so I need to add a modeline to Xorg.conf, and add the resolution to it? if so, what do all the numbers mean on the modeline? [22:29] kyncani: Thanks for your reply. Then I better make backups of all dirs?? [22:29] earthling, yeah, cause I was using the mouse right click key to do that and it wouldn't respond in a pleasing manner. [22:29] nosa-1 I thought it could be that I didnt have the NVIDIA driver, but when I tried installing it it could only run in low graphics mode at 640x400 [22:29] Lifeisfunny : did it work then . ? [22:29] tomoyuki28jp: it should not hurt, as i expect your /home to occupy 80% of a complete backup [22:30] Starnestommy, im looking for my login-name so i can change it, forgot :( [22:30] will do, thanks :) [22:30] tomoyuki28jp: should not make any difference to have a complete backup, and does not hurt ;) [22:30] earthling, nope [22:30] What would be a good filesystem for a drive I plan to use for media (video, audio, etc) with the caveat that if I go back to Windows it is still accessible? [22:30] massimo: hold on a sec ill give you a link to ware i got my verison from try it it worked fine for me though i have intel drivers [22:30] nosa-1 ok thanks ") [22:30] Lifeisfunny : :-( no idea then [22:30] is there anything besides ushare for xbox 360 media sharing? I couldn't get it to work at all... [22:31] sapph424: fat32 [22:31] kyncani: Thanks for your advice. It helps me a lot!! :) [22:31] earthling, I have to cut and paste ......... can't copy and paste [22:31] How do I use ls to display all files EXCEPT for a certain filetype? [22:31] massimo: getdeb.net [22:31] tomoyuki28jp: and that way, if the new ubuntu does not work for you, you just have to copy everything back, setup grub and you're fine :) [22:31] kyn: I was afraid of that. What would be the best Ubuntu-based util to convert a filesystem from, say, NTFS to FAT32? [22:32] look arounff ther its near the bottem massimo [22:32] Lifeisfunny, does ctrl c and v work? [22:32] ok thanks nosa-1, will do [22:32] HappyHater, I couldnt either, I ent up using twonkymedia. [22:32] np [22:32] sapph424: don't think such a thing exist. But ntfs support should be fine now (don't know personnally though) [22:32] spideyman, no, I have to ctrl+x and then ctrl+v [22:32] <[d0wn]> Hi, I have a 1024 cylinder limit, and need to know the proper bios settings to get past only 1024 [22:32] HappyHater, its free for 30days, costs like 30 bux (usd) after and you get free upgrades, well worth it. [22:33] macd, does it work for video and audio? [22:33] My NTFS volumes all seem to be read only. === kyncani is now known as Guest36918 [22:33] Hello, is anyone else having major problems with the new Firefox upgrade? As in, I can't see nor can I use the location bar, but I can see it when I'm in the customize menu...?

[22:36] help i jsut got a broken libc6 pachage and fixing it requires removing a ton of important pakages [22:36] Darlok_Williams: you use ls and grep. You will need to read some docs about it though [22:36] Xcell: new install, first time. [22:36] how do i fix things without removing these packages [22:36] NorthiestPole : did you tried interminal pppoeconf to see if it is recognized [22:36] or at least auto reinstal [22:36] falconfox-- whats not working [22:36] zvacet: Hmm.. I'll try. [22:37] im trying to do dual monitors, and i was trying to install my drivers first [22:37] kyncani: Yeah, I figured it was something like that... but I don't know how to make grep work in reverse ;) [22:37] always try dual monitors thru nvdida-settings [22:37] falconfox-- did you install restricted drivers?

[22:37] well thanks for the help earthling and spideyman [22:38] ok falconfox system\admin\restricted drivers [22:38] earthling: That didn't do it [22:38] Lifeisfunny, sry strange problem [22:38] anybody know how to expire memcache? [22:38] Darlok_Williams : checking myself.. will let u know [22:38] <_empemp_> could anyone help me build my fstab? [22:38] Darlok_Williams: yep, you do need to read some basic grep howto. [22:38] zvacet: Well, it did recognize it there, and apparently ifconfig shows it too, but it just has no IP. I'll check /etc/network/interfaces [22:38] hello everyone.. how can i add the network managar to my panel? i cant find it :S [22:39] NorthiestPole : so you need to configure it [22:39] Xcell: i don't have "restricted drivers" [22:39] NorthiestPole : wired or wireless [22:39] how can i add the network managar to my panel? i cant find it [22:40] So, anybody wanna advise me on pinning my kernel at -16? [22:40] abdulla, right click, add to panel "network monitor" [22:40] hey guysss help me pwease [22:40] i cant find network monitor [22:40] Using synaptic, I can lock the kernel image itself, but it advises me to lock linux-image-generic. [22:40] zvacet: Right, I configured it now and doing /etc/init.d/networking restart. Apparently it doesn't seem to discover my router while configured via DHCP [22:40] zvacet: and it complains about /etc/resolv.conf being missing [22:40] when i run sudo /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl it keeps saying exicution aborted? help pleassseee [22:41] abdulla it's /usr/bin/network-admin [22:41] Darlok_Williams : its working for me , but "ls -l |grep -v Down" lists all files not havin "Down". [22:41] i found it [22:41] hi is it possible to use cairo-clock with the transparency effect with windowmaker? [22:41] hi quick question is there a photo program where i can make pictures bigger but wont lose the qualaty of it [22:41] why is my vim-rails package install not available from my gvim? [22:41] falconfox-- go to system\prefs\appearances\visual effects...click on last button [22:41] poypoy: In theroy, no. [22:41] but when i click configure it says: The interface does not exist [22:41] abdulla, its in the list of available applets, if its not, install it "sudo apt-get install gnome-netstatus-applet" [22:41] Darlok_Williams : what did you mean by filetype ? [22:41] poypoy: But it depends to some degree on the image data. [22:41] abdulla, err, wrong applet [22:42] NorthiestPole : network>DNS tab> put yur nameservers there> [22:42] abdulla, its called "netapplet" [22:42] Xcell: thanks. i am downloading and installing the new software [22:42] earthling: Well, I was trying to list all files in a directory that did NOT have a .JPG or .jpg extension. [22:42] zvacet: Alright. [22:42] at first he was asking for network manager [22:42] earthling: I used your example the first time with "*.JPG"... needed to get rid of the wildcard [22:42] XCell: im restarting now... ill brb [22:42] poypoy: In a nutshell, you only have so much image data. You can scale up the image without losing "quality" only until your output resolution is more detailed than your image data resolution. [22:43] well tay are pictures off my 3.2 mp mobile phone but i wont them to show on my pc as standed size pictures [22:43] I have a problem with the installation. Apparently ubuntu fails to recognize my screen for the windowing system to work. [22:43] i cant find it [22:43] ok falconfox go to sys\prefs\main menue.. and click to (other) make sure (screens and graphics are checked [22:43] i cant find netapplet :S [22:43] NorthiestPole : if you use router don´t delete first line jujst add one or two more [22:43] Darlok_Williams : its working now then ? [22:44] poypoy: There are programs that attempt to fake it, pretty much the same way that a human being would - it finds the edges and curves, scales up, and attempts to massage the data to match. I've had friends say they got pretty good results with that. [22:44] how do I run a shell script? [22:44] zomg there is a split second lag in my flash videos now its driving me crazy esp for youtube videos, anyone know why? [22:44] poypoy: But that's all I know abou tthat - I cant'e ven suggest the names, and I remember they were commercial programs, for Macs and windows. [22:44] audio and video dont sync [22:44] dont supose you know whot program that mite be do you [22:44] acd, i cant find netapplet [22:44] hello! [22:44] HappyHater: Open a terminal, go to the directory containing the shell script file, enter ./shellscriptfilename.sh [22:44] no open software that can do it then [22:45] I have problem with installation Sylpheed2 [22:45] HappyHater: If the script is marked as executable, that should do it. If it's not marked as executable, you should seriously ask yourself why it isn't. [22:45] today installed fresh 8.04 and updated all [22:45] poypoy: I have no idea if open sofware equivalents exist. If they do, they're probably not widely known. [22:45] next I want install: sudo apt-get install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 [22:45] I'm running GG. I have read that I should not install Firefox direct from mozilla, but only from 'the repositories'. How can I get the latest RC?

I tried doing static too, but then I can't even ping my router. [22:46] is it bug in packages? [22:46] Is anyone using smbfs/cifs here, and finding that the default file permissions are *really* bizarre? [22:46] the netstatus does not appear [22:46] ok falconfox go to sys\main menu\other...make sure screens and graphics is checked [22:46] abdulla: thats fairly self explanatory, some other package manager or synaptic is running [22:47] ok but it doesnt appear on my panel [22:47] falconfox-- sys\prefs\main-menu-other [22:47] zvacet: On the DHCP process it says DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval .

I have tried to do that with scp command, but it did not complete. (probably because of out of memory, I think.) [22:49] poypoy yes what have you been to that site?

[22:58] Pie-rate: If you're in gnome, use the screenshot utility under accessories. Set a delay time of a couple of seconds, and tell it to capture the active window. [22:58] Pie-rate, self learning is always a good thing. [22:58] Argh, google beat me to it. [22:58] I'm running GG. I have read that I should not install Firefox direct from mozilla, but only from 'the repositories'. How can I get the latest RC? [22:58] I need to upgrade 3.11.. how to?

[23:07] hi [23:07] PaulEU : sudo apt-get -f install [23:07] sapph424: well if that's so, you can either 1) solve this hardy problem 2) wait for intrepid (8.10) and hope it works and then get firefox 3.

[23:07] DIL, probably, im not a developer [23:07] <_adriaan> DIL: no, it wasn't, unless you actually went as far as to give your root user a password [23:07] macondo, sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [23:07] PaulEU : fix broken packages [23:07] |seb|, you need a frontend for it [23:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/19474/ [23:08] |seb|, use audacious [23:08] PaulEU: what happens when you run "sudo apt-get install claws-mail" ? [23:08] |seb|, instead of xmms2 [23:08] _adriaan, if you cant trust someone with a root pass, hand them an XP install cd and send them on their way ;) [23:08] , http://paste.ubuntu.com/19474/ [23:08] jeed, please stop. [23:08] kyn: I'll have to do 2 - I spent endless hours on this channel trying to do 1, and every time, eventually everyone said the same thing "Congrats, you found a bug.

[23:09] PaulEU: try installing it [23:09] or use solution via zvacet [23:09] ? [23:09] <_adriaan> jeed: not sure I understand what you're saying. Anyway, giving root a passqword instead of using sudo has been extensively documented, and it's not supported by the ubuntu devs [23:09] _adriaan: i did, and now the case is the same but getting -admin cant login from login screen [23:09] Hoenikker, you need to follow the guide to install xp after ubuntu is installed. [23:09] Hoenikker: yes.. it will overwrite grub [23:09] Starnestommy: ok, I'll install it [23:09] where is that guide? [23:09] sapph424: it's not too bad as there is a new version every six months, you will only have to wait four more months [23:09] PaulEU : you should get same result [23:09] HardDisk, i didn't do anything wrong, and not like opinion expression is against GPL, again if only IRC has :roll: heh [23:09] !dualboot [23:09] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:09] !tab | abdulla [23:09] abdulla: You can use for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.

Darn it, how could I forget that [23:11] zvacet: ok, I see that claws-mail was installed successfully, next I'll try solution your [23:11] DIL: there is a way I saw a guide on it.. just 1 sec [23:11] Hoenikker, is it? let me double check [23:11] * nickrud laughs [23:11] _adriaan: ty i understand [23:11] hmm [23:11] jeed-- just go to the main menu.. and check root terminal.. wallah [23:12] I have a PATA Hard disk.

[23:12] its dis-couraged because every other distro implements it and ubuntu doesnt, how else would ubuntu standout apart from being debian + newer software updates [23:13] Hoenikker, well in that case all you need is to create space for xp, install it, then get the guide how to fix grub in ubuntu they're like 4 steps [23:13] PaulEU : sudo apt-get install sylpheed-claws-gtk2 [23:13] puff: I think i cant install ubuntu because of it...

[23:16] K^Holtz, then use the windows cd to make the NTFS partition [23:17] K^Holtz, create free space for windows, then let windows see the freespace and do it that way [23:17] Jaffarkelshac: devede is a good one [23:17] K^Holtz, just leave the space empty then, windows should find it [23:17] PaulEU : in synaptic you will see edit and under that you will find option fix broken packages [23:17] devedee.. works nicely [23:17] <_adriaan> DIL: ofcourse, replace the kde bits with gnome and kdm with gdm [23:17] zvacet: I selected it and nothing happened [23:17] thanks legend2440 [23:17] _adriaan: wisdom is always loved by all who receive it [23:18] nickrud: check "do not use this parition" ?

[23:23] K^Holtz, yes [23:23] does anyone use adesklet [23:23] HardDisk If he leaves unallocated space and installs ubuntu then adds a primary partition below that his partition numbers will change and it will cause a problem [23:23] pub, when there are screenlets?

[23:24] HardDisk a fixable problem, but one that can easily bve avoided [23:24] Jack_Sparrow, agreed. [23:24] <_empemp_> is there an easy way to get fstab to understand my partitions? [23:24] Oh wow.

[23:25] NorthiestPole` we have all done that at one time or another.. dont worry [23:25] _empemp_, I'd avoid the UUID route and mount it without them..but that's my opinion [23:25] zvacet: Very, Very, Very, stupid. [23:25] Ah, well, i am running fluxbox already but want to add some "widgets" from http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/index.html [23:25] lol [23:25] Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, still pretty stupid.

[23:27] Jack_Sparrow, will htat work, even if pressing those keys doesn't show anything at all in xev? [23:28] djgizmo, then go with flux or fvwm [23:28] K^Holtz limit of 4 primary partitions. [23:28] weird, the 2nd partition i made was labeled sda5 [23:28] HardDisk: Can you provide me a link or some instructions how to install either one of those? [23:28] that's normal K^Holtz [23:28] guess thats the 4 primary thing :) [23:28] nickrud: and it's properly? [23:28] djgizmo, do you have your server installed already?

[23:30] Thanks ubottu, I'll go look at that [23:30] K^Holtz So you have sda1 primary sda2 extended , you created your first logical at sda5 [23:30] does anyone here use cross over office? if so what are your thoughts on it, I need to design but I don't like to boot to windows too often to do it, if i could use an alternative, i would be in heaven.

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu.com (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) [23:30] djgizmo, it's a bot :) I pasted the info for you [23:30] ...or are there alternatives to cx office [23:30] K^Holtz It will work fine [23:30] Jack_Sparrow: i only have that windows space as primary [23:30] tdela, I suggest you install virtualbox [23:30] <_empemp_> http://www.pastebin.no/7827 [23:30] <_empemp_> there is my fstab [23:30] tdela, install virtualbox, then install windows in a vm environment, most developers use this method. [23:31] Hey all [23:31] K^Holtz that is all you need for primary [23:31] <_empemp_> what more info do i need to paste for you to see where i all go wrong? [23:31] question, how do you find out if your computer is 64-bit or 32-bit? [23:31] HardDisk: oh really? not slow at all? [23:31] HardDisk: is it free? [23:31] tdela, yes it's free www.virtualbox.org [23:31] hp: do you have a AMD 64 or a Core 2 duo cpu? [23:31] awesome, thanks. [23:31] check administration then system monitor [23:31] again :) [23:31] PaulEU, doing that very thing, and getting very odd behavior A sec [23:31] You should create a logical of around 10+ a logical filling up all but 2-4 gigs of the extended and a swap with the last 2-4 [23:31] Jack_Sparrow: so far i did 20 gigs sda1 primary, 10 gigs sda5 logical / , 20 gigs sda6 /home [23:31] PaulEU, or 2 :) [23:31] conky say i have a AMD Turion 64 Mobile tech cpu [23:32] tdela, if you need USB2.0 support and extra features install the one from sun, the OSE version is in the repo's but is not as feature filled as the regular. [23:32] Also, I think somehow my update broke my ubuntu [23:32] K^Holtz great.. add a swap and you are ready to rumble [23:32] tdela, personally I run 2 vm's one xp and one windows 2003 server [23:32] HP: you have a 64 bit pc [23:32] djgizmo: hmmmm, hahahaha so i've been using 32 bit ubuntu [23:32] roflcopter. i was on holyday for 2 weeks and now there are 200mb of updates to do. With that rate my sys hard drive will be full soon. [23:32] hi - is anyone able to diagnose the following output..? I assume hardware rather than driver problem, but not sure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19478/ [23:32] HardDisk: Thanks, I just need photoshop and illustrator though, perhaps visual studio but I can't imagine I'll be doing any C# work anymore. [23:32] nickrud: ok, I'll wait.. Yesterday I've lost one HDD, today I bought new a must install fresh system eh [23:32] even so, this looks good. [23:32] Jack_Sparrow: i still have 28 gigs left tho [23:32] tdela, the good thing about vm's it won't affect anything else, imagine an OS inside it's own personal bubble anything happens, delete it and start over. [23:32] thanks. [23:32] hehe, it's ok. 32 bit works fine on 64 bit pcs. [23:33] tdela, photoshop CS2 works under wine in ubuntu [23:33] HP: just 32 bit apps dont work on 64 bit OS's [23:33] ah, im a cs3 user. [23:33] thats ok, vbox looks the best. [23:33] tdela, but yes install virtualbox for all those packages [23:33] why do i get so much spam on freenode now, amazing. [23:33] <_empemp_> HardDisk: you got my link? [23:33] feels like dalnet :p [23:33] _empemp_, I thought someone else was helping you [23:33] K^Holtz make another ext3 or anything you like [23:33] djgizmo: do you think using a different version would mess up my graphic card? 'cuz nvidia keep crashing when i installed the driver [23:34] tdela, heard the CS3 portable edition works on wine [23:34] I only have two hands and two eyeballs :D [23:34] bbl [23:34] Ok, so does anyone know what gzip stdout: No space left on device means, when trying to install the new boot/intitrd [23:34] When i create the /swap, i want to do END as location for the new partition? [23:34] don't leave me jacky! [23:34] Ryand-Smith, its out of space on the /bot partition. [23:34] nevermind, if i make the rest extended, it will all work out [23:34] _empemp_, ok I'll check your problem [23:34] jeed: Interesting, perhaps ill look into that as well. So far, i think vbox is my answer. [23:34] Is it possible to let all users on my system share an F-Spot database? [23:34] _empemp_, can you paste it again? [23:34] s/me/the [23:34] Hey macd [23:34] <_empemp_> http://www.pastebin.no/7827 [23:34] how do you clear the /bot partition [23:34] hi buddies, is there anyway I can get rid of the previous kernel versions that have been installed on my system through the Update Manager??? [23:34] !nfs | Darlok_Williams [23:34] Darlok_Williams: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [23:34] _empemp_: in a terminal type sudo blkid and make sure the UUID numbers in fstab are right [23:35] tdela, it usually is for windows designers, aslong as you got a dual core prosessor and plenty of ram, that is [23:35] my hard drive still has a gig or so left [23:35] hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second).

[23:35] Ryand-Smith, you should use synaptic to remove some of your older kernels no longer in use. [23:35] Ryand-Smith, clean apt-get [23:35] _empemp_, as legend2440 said [23:35] Synaptuc refuses to start up [23:35] how gDesklets, does anybody use that? [23:35] PArdon the typo daemon [23:35] It told me to dpkg --configure [23:35] HardDisk: Thank you for the suggestion of fluxbox. I've got it installed and i'm in :) YIPPY. [23:35] Hello, I am tryig to do some remixing, but audacity seems to desire complete control over the audio or won't work at all. Basically, I can't have Audacity and Hydrogen open at the same time. any suggestions? [23:35] and for some reason (yes I added the -a) it did not work [23:36] pub, easy gDesklets, some people use that [23:36] djgizmo, :) [23:36] jeed: I dont have duo core heh :( [23:36] Hello. I have a probleme with my Sound. I'm useing Hardy Kubuntu and the soundchip is SI7012. The probleme is, no sound works, but if I start amarok it does for that, though I cannüt let 2 programms run at the same time [23:36] HardDisk: Wow... that pretty much has nothing to do with what I'm trying to do. [23:36] Jack_Sparrow: how do i specify swap? [23:36] adelie42, try using the jack audio server [23:36] Darlok_Williams, you want to share right? [23:36] adelie42, aptitude install qjackctl [23:36] fatal error in Mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device [23:36] i want to get the weather one to work, but no matter what i put in for location it doesn't update [23:36] tdela, anything dual core, otherwise windows inside *nix tends to be quite laggy, esp if your running CS3 on top :), its double the OS and double the resources [23:36] hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second). Ftp and samba give same results. Why is it slow from ubuntu and not from other computers ? [23:36] adelie42, prepend 'sudo' of course [23:36] Neuer, does your sound work or not ? [23:36] <_empemp_> http://www.pastebin.no/7828 [23:36] <_empemp_> there is the output from the command [23:37] HardDisk: On one computer, yes. [23:37] ah [23:37] you didn't say that [23:37] PaulEU, I'm not able to install it here either. aptitude fails without an error, so something is not right here. You should file a bug report, bugs.ubuntu.com and attach http://rafb.net/p/ACfFmj83.html [23:37] my mouse is desactivated when I use the keyboard how can I fix the problem? [23:37] HardDisk: how do i specify space used for swap? [23:37] HardDisk: Well, I said "system" not "network" :) [23:37] Darlok_Williams, sorry. And no I don't know how. [23:37] K^Holtz, you create it in gparted.. [23:37] jeed: I remember back in the day I used crossover office with photoshop 7.0 flawlessy for a year or so, I don't plan on doing heavy design work in linux, more like flatten the psd and grab some sections of it as a I built web applications. So i don't think memory or CPU is going to be a real issue. [23:37] HardDisk: Alright, thanks anyway:) [23:37] nickrud: it's not possible to install force? [23:38] hey madmax you said "clean apt-get" ??? [23:38] jeed: though I could be wrong :) [23:38] HardDisk: so i have to do it after i install ubuntu? [23:38] mad_max02: actually. no. The system sounds dont work nor anything else. Only Amarok or other multimedia progs, but only one at a time. I had a similar probleme iwth Feisty, but i got ir to work. unfortuantly all steps fail for hardy [23:38] K^Holtz, you can do it now, or during install. [23:38] rdz, already installed (just yesterday for something else) [23:38] Hi, any talk spanish? [23:38] nickrud: or I can install other version: claws-mail ? [23:38] i have problems with mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. [23:38] !flash === jansen_ is now known as jansen [23:38] Ok mad_max02 I attempted to correct the mistake [23:38] PaulEU, the -f install is -fix not -force. And no, the error is at the dpkg level [23:38] tdela, if you use a VM its gunna put the resources of windows + the vm backend running on top of the resources your linux uses, so it can get laggy === Bodsda_ is now known as Bodsda [23:38] adelie42, then make sure, that both applications are using it [23:38] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (a recent version for !Dapper is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [23:38] HardDisk: well in this manual partition menu, do i leave it as "Free space" or should i format it as something?

I have to link a module in to it. is there a way to stop the kernel from updating [23:38] ok [23:38] jeed, only if doesn't have enough ram [23:39] but I got the error -gzip: stdout: No space left on device [23:39] update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-18-rt [23:39] HardDisk, also if the prosessor isnt very good [23:39] K^Holtz, did you create your root yet? [23:39] Neuer, well if amarok works then ur sound works. Try usin alsa for all sounds. [23:39] tdela, whats your prosessor/ram? [23:39] nickrud: I'll do bug raport [23:39] jeed, it works fine on a P4 2.2 with hardly any lag [23:39] I'm running ubuntu 8.04 Everytime I encounter flash in my browser, I have to click on it to play. When on dailymotion it doesn't work at all. any help? [23:39] jeed: ahh, I have 3GB of ram and an AMD 2.2GHz [23:39] tdela, you're perfect. [23:39] tdela, thats enough [23:40] okay :) [23:40] I did, but the system sounds do not work. If I have amarok on and for instance run kafeine, I get a message that a probleme occured and the soundserver is already in use etc. === jpiche is now known as josephpiche [23:40] jeed: I only have 1 GB, and a run Windows in a VM, and runs perfectly [23:40] Ryand-Smith, I think that kernel sources are stored in /usr/src === nenolod_ is now known as nenolod [23:40] Neuer, tried #Kubuntu if you're on that. [23:40] <_empemp_> HardDisk: got the pastebin? [23:40] Hmm [23:40] HardDisk i have 20 gig primary, then sda5 10 gig /, sda6 10gig /home, sda7 'the rest' - 2 gigs (for swap), all ext3 [23:40] PaulEU, I haven't used claws for a while, checking it out [23:40] i have problems with mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. [23:40] _empemp_, no ...too many people :/ can you do it again sorry.. [23:41] akonkwa: that's an option that you can disable. hang on and i'll find the package to remove. [23:41] _empemp_: see how uuid numbers don't match what you have in fstab ? [23:41] _empemp_, legend2440> _empemp_: in a terminal type sudo blkid and make sure the UUID numbers in fstab are right [23:41] Ok [23:41] ZiggyFish, for all i knew tdela could have been using 256mb ram on a P2, he never told us the specs, so just go crawl back into your hole instead of trying to look kool by standing next to Harddisk ;) [23:41] in usr/src [23:41] nickrud: I should raport bug in sylpheed-claws-gtk2 or dpkg ? [23:41] haha jeed [23:41] bobstro, thanx [23:41] 2.6.24.18 is there [23:41] PaulEU, sylpheed [23:41] HardDisk: he already pasted blkid results [23:41] oh [23:41] Ryand-Smith, you can delete sources [23:41] HardDisk: Hmm, sorry to keep pestering you. I try to open any application (such as Mutt) or telnet, nothing happens. No error, no hour glass. Any suggestions? [23:41] I can? [23:41] jeed Please keep it polite [23:41] Ok, thank you [23:42] Ryand-Smith, did you try deleting packages downloaded with aptitude ? [23:42] djgizmo, unfortunately I haven't used flux myself.. [23:42] hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second). Ftp and samba give same results. Why is it slow from ubuntu and not from other computers ? [23:42] rdz: server is running, audacity says "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate." Hydrogen says "Error starting audio driver". Do I need to tell them to use JACK audio device / driver? [23:42] The problem is [23:42] djgizmo, can you telnet via cli? [23:42] that aptitude does not open [23:42] i got too many ubuntu dvd's here i dont label them with versions so i have to re-download :/ [23:42] it says E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [23:42] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [23:42] im bad for labelling [23:42] HardDisk: yes i have 10 gigs for root [23:42] tdela, or just boot each one and check :) [23:42] ahh faster to download heh [23:42] I'd like to try using a FOSS flash plugin, but I don't know how to get rid of flashplugin-nonfree. How do I get rid of flashplugin-nonfree? [23:42] its already burning. [23:42] Ryand-Smith SO.. did you run.. dpkg --configure - [23:43] Jack_Sparrow, heh just because its linux doesnt mean everyone is gunna be nice to people who are annoying [23:43] _empemp_: do you see the problem? [23:43] K^Holtz, then just create another one for swap 2GB is enough [23:43] is ubuntu 8.04 using a firewall by default? because i can not connect to websites while i am using vpnc (device tun0) but i can use "nslookup ubuntu.org" but not ping ubuntu.org [23:43] <_empemp_> legend2440: i see that now! [23:43] akonkwa: the swfdec-mozilla package seems to be what causes that. i removed it and flash returned to normal (just starting up) [23:43] yes, and then I get the error message [23:43] <_empemp_> legend2440: everything else looks good in the file? [23:43] Ryand-Smith, type sudo apt-get clean [23:43] ok it seems i lost a connection [23:43] djgizmo: go to vty2 and check ~/*xsession-errors* [23:43] but im back [23:43] DIFH-iceroot, check your router. [23:43] Ryand-Smith why are you typing your single idea in many lines? [23:43] HardDisk, is cli that installed by default? [23:43] so i dont know why i cant access the external sites [23:43] HardDisk: but there is no 'Mount Point' for swap... just leave Mount Point blank? [23:43] _empemp_: yes [23:43] jeed Please stop it... [23:43] djgizmo, CLI = command line interface [23:43] <_empemp_> legend2440: thx, will reboot and see [23:43] in terminal [23:43] thanks for the info guys, appreciated. [23:43] :) [23:43] HardDisk: at the university i can not check my router, with windows and suse it is working [23:43] K^Holtz, create the partition as swap [23:44] (smacks self) I'll try [23:44] DIFH-iceroot, then check your settings [23:44] i have problems with mplayer: Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. HELP!!! [23:44] so maybe ubuntu is blocking something by default? [23:44] bobstro, thanx [23:44] DIFH-iceroot, check iptables and vnc settings [23:44] HardDisk: how do i do that? its ext3.. there is nowhere that says 'swap' [23:44] K^Holtz, no you cant do that [23:44] yep, telnet works from the cli [23:44] HardDisk: i found it, sorry [23:44] HardDisk: which settings? just using vpnc (kvpnc) with the correkt settings as in suse [23:44] it says 'swap area' where i created ext3 === gardar is now known as gardar`afk [23:44] DIFH-iceroot: ubuntu default to no firewall configured at all [23:45] kyncani: ok [23:45] I tried apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree, and the flash plugin still works! [23:45] !firewall [23:45] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [23:45] K^Holtz, you need two partitions one for root and one for swap [23:45] kyncani that statement is misleading [23:45] Jack_Sparrow, or you could stop making a big deal out of it, not like anyone's feelings got hurt now is it, i didnt make a 'your mum' joke or anything, just chill [23:45] Ok, I did the sudo apt-get clean, then tried using sudo dpkg --configure -a, then I had an error with gzip stdout: No space left on device [23:45] hm so i will check iptables [23:45] HardDisk: i have 5 different partions right now [23:46] Then the bugger says update-initramfs failed for /boot/initrd.img [23:46] Jack_Sparrow: ubuntu defaults to everything set to accept afaik. [23:46] K^Holtz, for ubuntu you need 2 one for root, one for swap any other partitions is extra for whatever it is you want it for [23:46] kyncani go to grc.com and run shields up test against your ports sometime [23:47] HardDisk: gotcha :) im gonna move on with this install now, hopefully all goes well [23:47] K^Holtz: I recommend a partition for /home [23:47] !passthehbomb [23:47] Factoid passthehbomb not found [23:47] K^Holtz /home [23:47] K^Holtz, good luck :) [23:47] er um, wrong room [23:47] K^Holtz: then you don't lose all your stuff when you re-install linux [23:47] Jack_Sparrow: i have that, 20 gigs for /home logical [23:47] correct [23:47] Ryand-Smith: no, but intriguing. [23:47] ah you're making /home in another partition, ok I didn't know that [23:47] I have 10 gigs for / ... 4 gigs for swap.. and rest for /home [23:47] then you need three partitions ;) [23:48] HardDisk It makes for a much better setup later on [23:48] Jack_Sparrow, well depends on the usability, I rarely do that setup for users. [23:48] Jack_Sparrow: No mount point is assigned for the ext3 file system in partion #1, if you dont go back and assign a mount point this partion will not be used at all" This is what i want correct? [23:48] Hardisk, is there another channel that is for helping newbies. seems that this channel is crammed and I hate pestering just one person. [23:48] sfire: would would say 2 gigs is enough for swap? i only have 512 ram [23:48] djgizmo, sure, you can check with your local state/country === gardar`afk is now known as gardar [23:48] K^Holtz you can mount it as data anything you want it really does not matter [23:49] K^Holtz: then you only need 512 mb [23:49] djgizmo, what area are you in? [23:49] HI EVERYONE [23:49] unless you plan to upgrade your ram later [23:49] Forida, USA [23:49] Jack_Sparrow: i have shorewall set up, but do you mean that hardy defaults to drop policy on input ? [23:49] !MGETTY [23:49] Factoid mgetty not found [23:49] check #ubuntu-us-fl [23:49] :) [23:49] thanks! [23:49] sfire: ill leave it as 2 gigs incase i do upgrade [23:49] there is a local florida channel [23:49] djgizmo: dont be initimidated there are alot of smart people here you may be cheating yourself [23:49] djgizmo, you should get to introduce yourself to them and be part of their LoCo team [23:50] crap, all my partions just got erased when i went back [23:50] kyncani What I am saying is go to grc.com running live cd or fresh install and see what I am talking about. Most users that setup an iptable manager are worse off than leaving it alone [23:50] Jack_Sparrow: it complained about the extra space i made before swap like you told me to [23:50] nickrud: I've last question: is this bug a security vulnerability? [23:50] K^Holtz I never said leave empty space... [23:51] because there is question in bug raport [23:51] K^Holtz Everything should be assigned to a partition [23:51] so any tricks/tips in making google earth usable when running compiz? [23:51] Don't most high speed internet gateways have firewalls? [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: I have a machine running a Hardy livecd right now.. iptables default policy is ACCEPT on INPUT,OUTPUT,FORWARD [23:51] <_empemp_> HardDisk: that worked! but my new ext3fs partition is not writebale [23:51] Jack_Sparrow: u said "create ext3 for general use leaving a 2 gig or so swap partition" ... what Mount point should i give that? [23:51] I also wouldn't trust Steve Gibson on security (grc.com( [23:51] I would have just given K^Holtz this guide apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm and then we can repartition his /home later. [23:51] PaulEU, no [23:51] Ryand-Smith many doi [23:52] hello, All transfer from my ubuntu to my xp seems ultraslow ( few kb per second). Ftp and samba give same results. Why is it slow from ubuntu and not from other computers ? anyone ? [23:52] darrend run the shields up test and please dont bother shouting [23:52] anyone else have troubles with gmail chat through firefox in ubuntu 7.10? [23:52] is there any way to get nautilus to display icons of a certain extension as a certain icon? An example would be blender's .blend files - they currently appear as text files but i'd like to be able to get the looking like the blender icon by default. [23:52] K^Holtz mount point needs to be / [23:52] koshari: thats my root, i have that setup [23:52] !upgrade | accensi0n [23:52] accensi0n: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [23:52] Jack_Sparrow: I didn't shout - that's the way iptsbles reports it. shields up tells me nothing about the security of my machine, that's bad advice in my opinion. [23:52] Okay so I am trying to run an ati driver installer that is a .run. Since ubuntu doesnt let you login root, how do i do this. When i run in terminal it says i need to be logged in as root. Basically what is the command to run the installer. sudo (what)? [23:53] darrend entitled to your opinion [23:53] I have to take a break [23:53] my eyes hurt.
